  Speaker 1: This is Hawk Talk the recap edition. This is your host,
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: Michael Bumpas along with Nasa Cholby. The Hawks fall to
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: the forty nine Ers twenty six to twenty one and
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: literally lost by inches. Is a game of inches. But
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: before we get into all the other stuff, for bringing
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: on Big Ray Roberts, how you doing, Ray? I'm all right,
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: big devil? How about you? You know I'm doing all right?
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: You know, I'm I hope that the twelves feel the
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: way that I feel because I was proud of that
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: football teams. Yeah, you know, I you know, even driving
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: home last night and waking up this morning, I looked
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: up and you know what, the sky wasn't falling, you
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. So it was like I felt,
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: I felt pretty pleased with with where we are. Obviously,
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: you know, you never want to win games, you and
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: you and you want to you play the game to
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: win them, as permited what's famously said. But but the team,
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: UH has some stuff to build on coming out of
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: that game. And like you know, the second half three
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: long uh double digit plays, uh, you know, sixty seventy
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: yard drives for touchdowns and then the end of game
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: on the fourth drive just enters away from from beating
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: a Super Bowl, a legitimate Super Bowl UH participant team
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: for the second time. And so I feel good about
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: the offense coming out of there. Obviously, on defense, UH,
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: it'd be nice to show up some of the tackling.
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: That's a few times where we had a runner you know,
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: and you know, with in in a space to be
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: tackled in the back fielding and they and they got
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: away from it. So tightening up some of those things
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: I think will make me feel a little bit better
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: that I feel great, Just like Russell Wilson said at
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: the end of his press conference, it's a new season.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: We reset the records now, this is this is the
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: second season of the football scheduling. So I feel good
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: about where we are. I feel good about what we
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: can do on the road, and I feel good about
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: the matchups that we had so coming into this week,
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: this game, all the height was surrounded around Marshawn Lynch.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: What did you see out of him? How do you
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: look to you? You know, like before the game started,
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: I wrote down about what I thought the running games
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: would produce today, yesterday and to the for the most part,
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: you know, I thought that there would be between I
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: thought Turbine would get from run, but between the three
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: ball carries, I thought there would be about twenty five
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: carries for about one hundred and ten yards and two touchdowns.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: And so they ended up including Russell and instead of Turban,
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: where I think thirty carries for you know, one hundred
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: and twenty six yards and a touchdown. So for what
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: Marshawn brought to the table, I thought he'd have ten
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: or twelve carries. I think he had right at twelve carries.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: H And he did what I thought he would do.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: I mean, you know, maybe forty or so yards, had
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: a couple of plays where you know, you know, he
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: looked explosive. He and he got you know, to the
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: second level to dive over the top for the touchdown
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: was like classic, you know, Marshawn Lynch to bring some
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: some excitement to the stadium. So I felt like for
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: what they were expecting him to do and what you
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: could honestly expect him to do after being out of
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: football for a year or so and then coming in
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: and been prepared for one week, I was really pleased
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: with what he brought to the table. I was as well.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: Now Marshawn Lynch was the headliner, but the opening app
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: act was Travis homer. Um. What did you see out
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: of the youngster and his first start in the NFL. Well,
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: the one thing I liked is that they showed confidence
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: to him. I know, you know, some people were tweeting
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: out and even including Duck Baldwin, you know that that
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: the Seahawks missed an opportunity to start the game out
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: by handing the ball to Marshawn Lynch, and to me,
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: they gained an opportunity by starting the game out with
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: Homeward to show him some confidence. And and and you know,
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: reward him for the work that he's put in. And
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: so for fourth string running back who hadn't had had
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: limited carries all year long, uh to come in and
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: have ten carries for sixty two yards, five targets in
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: the passing game, five catches for thirty yards. Man, you
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: couldn't have asked for anything more than that, you know.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: And and maybe even down the stretch there and that
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: and that last drive inside the red zone, maybe he
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: should have gotten the ball another one or two times.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: But Uh, I was really pleased with the running game altogether.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: I mean there was obviously after last week and losing
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: all three you're starting running backs, you're thinking like, man,
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: like what are we gonna do? And Marshawn Lynch hasn't
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: played in the year, Like, how's that gonna help? Man?
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: The running game didn't lack at all yesterday, and so
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: I was really pleaful what Homer did. The running game
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: didn't lack. Um Russell Wilson had time to throw the
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: ball as well, only sacked one time, but was hitting
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: nine times as well. What did you see out of
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: that offensive line in the past game? You know what,
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: when they when they kind of settled down. Uh. They
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: did a much better job than at the at the
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: beginning of the of the game. But obviously, when you
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: don't have you know, an all pro uh, you know,
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: Pro Bowl left tackle in the game, you're gonna have
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: some issues, you know. And you know, George Fan uh
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: performed a little better than Jamarco Jones did. But there's
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: neither one of them. Weren't Dwayne Brown and Duwayne Brown. Uh.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: He he to me is to the offensive line, like
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: Marshawn went this to the running back. The dude just
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: brings a different type of energy and a different type
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: of calmness uh, and a different kind of been there,
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: done that, uh to the room and to the and
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: to the game that hopefully, if he's back for this week,
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: I think it'll make a huge difference because as you
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: saw when they set down, they were able to cree
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: some holes in the running game. They were able to
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: there were times, you know where Russell was standing back
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: there for a while looking for someone to toil the
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: ball too. So even though they got off to a
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: slow start, they finished very very strong. And so hopefully
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: when get Dwayne Brown back, that would add to that.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: And then George Panton go back to his role as
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: the is that uh, you know, the jumbo package coming
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: in at tight end and really impact the running game
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: that way. So uh, you know, obviously I wouldn't say
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: that they graded out as an A plus or anything,
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: but they got better as a game went on and
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: they finished strong. So the Seahawks are seven to one
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: on the road this season, they go to Philly. You
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: mentioned earlier than Russell Wilson said, it's a new season,
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: but they're gonna take the experiences that they had this
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: year on the road with them to Philly. What do
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: you expect to see out of this team? You know what,
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: I was driving home last night and I came really
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: close to just already posting what I think the score
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: is going to be because I'm really I'm really expecting
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: to see us to go in there and win, and
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: I was just gonna be a tough game. You gotta
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: be on the road against a team that has has Uh.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: I think they've won like four games down the stretch
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: or something to get to this position to to to
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: be the NFC East champions. But I think they've had
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: they've had two. I think they've had like four or
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: five wins against like under five hundred teams. So the
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: their their record and their place in the playoffs could
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: be uh kind of like on sand, built on sand,
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: so to speak. They have you know, third or fourth
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: or fifth receivers, uh, planned to one and two and
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: three receiver spots. Uh. They you know, they've had some nick,
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: some bang, some people nixed up on the offensive line.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: That were pretty solid defense. But I feel really good
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: about going into that game. I think the seaffs to
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: play well on the road. Uh, this is a This
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: is a game that is very wonderful for the Seahawks,
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: And so I liked the matchup, But actually I liked
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: the matchup better than that if they had won, just
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: because we're four and four at home, seven and one
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: on the road. They feel comfortable playing on the road.
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: They're confident plan on the road. And I feel good
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: about going into this game, and I feel I feel
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: pretty confident we're gonna come out of victorious. And the
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: great words a big Ray, the sky's not falling twelves.
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: The Hawks lost to a very good football team. Ray.
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: Always appreciate you taking time out of your day to
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: holleradus yes sir, or anytime but dope. All right, man,
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: all right, we're gonna move along to the main takeaways
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: from this game. One, it's evident the Seahawks did not
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: played well in the first half, but something clicked in
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: the second half. They were able to move the ball,
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: They got to stop coming right out the gate. They
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: were able to play the game if they wanted to play.
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: What did you see there, Nass, I mean, you're right,
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: it was poor opposite. I mean, the score was thirteen
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: zero a halftime, but it felt like a lot more
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: than that. It felt like it was almost three to
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: four scores, but obviously it wasn't. And it was huge
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: to come out boom three and out and kJ right,
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: we'll get to him a little bit later, but he
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: had a couple of big hits to kind of get
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: that energy and century and going again, kind of re
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: energize that defense. A big stop, the offense immediately gets
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: the ball and kind of showed what did the whole
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: set and a half they dictated to the Niners. They
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: were able to get stuff going in the passing game,
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: and for whatever reason, they flipped that switch and made
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: it a really competitive game, and as you know, came
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: ainfully interest short for w AND Championship. Another takeaway, Marshawn
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: Lynch showed that hey, he's been sitting on the couch
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: for a little bit, but he still got some juice
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: in his legs, and I expect him to play even
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: better next week. And I think that he's going to
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: embrace that number two running back role. He doesn't he
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: doesn't want to have twenty to twenty five carriers because
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: he knows that he's been sitting sitting down for a
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: little bit. So let the young man go ahead and
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: get some work. Yeah, no, I think I love it.
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: I think he Marshawn even said postcame that in the
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: second half he started to get his legs underneath him
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: a little bit more. And it's just because you're right,
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: he hasn't been hit. He hasn't gotten those game type
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: of raps. So I think the sky's limit for mars Shawn.
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: I think he obviously you're not gonna see one hundred
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: and fifth Well I shouldn't say not say never. You
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: never know, you're probably not gonna see one hundred and
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: fift yards or anything like that. But he still shows
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: he has a little bit of burst and he can
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: still be physical and go over the top and do
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: the things you need him to do. So it was
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: really encouraging to see what we saw from him. It
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: was fun to see him ball out. Also fun to
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: see DK metcalf do with thing twelve targets. But he
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: made some big plays. And it's not just the plays
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: he made, is how he made him like the hands
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: seemed more sure, he seemed more confident in his route
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: running him. This guy has nine hundred yards, seven touchdowns,
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: exceeded expectations. I love seeing the development of this guy.
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, if you go, if you flip it
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: back to if you look the clock back to April,
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: everyone was like, I don't know about you can only
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: run a post to hype. I don't know if you
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: can really run routes. He's just a big he looks
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: great in the weight room. But well, okay, we saw
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: what happened this season, and there's a thirty one other
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: team saying, dang, we missed out on this guy because
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: DK is special, especially and think about the last two
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: weeks he had to go up against Patrick Peterson, Richard Sherman,
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: a really good secondary for the forty nine ers, and
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: he still made a ton of play, So that's great
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: to see from him. Yeah, I love the development. The
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: defense played well at times, but at tough time stop
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: in San Francisco. Four out of their five scoring drives
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: were eight plays or more. And after talking to Pete Carol,
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: I think that San Francisco just tapped into the weakness
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: of the defense. And like Pete said, it's just on
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: the edge in the perimeter and they have to get
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: better there. And if you look at the teams that
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: have done well against the forty nine ers, they all
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: do that well. That that stretch, that boot those jets
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: sweeps everything that gets you going east and west. Yeah,
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: I mean it it was hard. He saw Jimmy Garoppolo.
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: The scouting report of him kind of come in to
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: the game was you want to get him to the
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: throw of the outside, and if you're not able to
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: take away some of the underneath, some of those crossing around,
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: some of those deep thunders, it's it's hard to make
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: him do that because he's having so much success. And
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: let's let's be real, man, George Kittle is a beast
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: that's tight end in the league. Oh my. I mean,
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: it's the thing about him too, is you look at him.
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: People don't think he's fast. The dude can move. If
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: he can put whether he's whether he's got a safety, corner,
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: linebacker on him, the dude can move. They do different
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: things to him. I mean, how many tight ends are
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: getting handoffs sweeps to the outside. I mean, George Kittle
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: was a huge difference in the two matching up against
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: the forty nine ers because that man's that's a bad
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: man right there. Yeah, he's a great weapon, and Shanahan
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: does a good job using them in that offense. Last,
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: but not least, Seahawks will have to be World Wars again.
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: Wish they've done all year seven and one on the road.
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: They're going down to Philly, a team that they beat handedly.
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: The score didn't doesn't really reflect that, but the game
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: felt a little differently. I might expect nothing but a
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: win for these guys next week. Yeah, I'm expecting them
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: and bounce back huge. And you were talking to Pete
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: this morning and pretty good news. I mean it's early
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: in the week about Quandre Diggs and I think he's
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: that missing piece defensively. If we can get Diggs back,
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: I think that really changes how they do. And as
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: we know, we'll getting this in our next podcast when
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: we preview the Eagles. The Eagles are incredibly banged up
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: in the wide receiver corps. They were banged up a
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: month ago when we played them, and they're even more
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: banged up now. And if his Urths doesn't play, So
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: there's gonna be a lot of things working in the
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: Seahawks fact favor this week coming up. So I'm definitely
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: looking forward to that. Yep, yep, yep. All Right, we're
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: gonna move along to the top performers. The first one
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: we got to mention, Russell Wilson, was twenty five or
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: forty two hundred thirty three yards and two touchdowns. But
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: what impressed me the most Russell Wilson is them when
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: it was time to win. He almost played flawlessly when
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: it was time to Hey, put the team on my back.
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: I gotta go on a drive right now. I'm gonna
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: make all the right decisions. I'm gonna take care of
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: the football. I'm just gonna come up a few inches short.
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: But I just love the poise of this guy. And
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: he's never wavered. It's been the same for the past
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: eighty nine years. I mean, every time, no matter what happens.
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: I mean, I would guess that most teams, most quarterbacks,
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: everyone would feel boom nine or score. It's twenty six
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: to fourteen with five fifty one in the game, most
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: people would feel dejected. I went back and rewatched the
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: game copy last night, and when they scored that, NBC's
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: kind of swinging by and kus Check is running by.
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: He's like, yeah, blah blah, see you next week. Can't
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: wait to have a bye. Like everyone in the building
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: thought it was over except number three in the people
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: on the Seahawk sideline. And that stat line does not
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: show you how well he played. I mean he was
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: pressured by botha like twelve times or something like that.
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: The offensive line did play pretty well, only allowing one sack,
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: but Russell Wilson kind of helped them not give up
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: more because there's elusiveness and when you come down the stretch,
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: he does not. There's a ton of quarterbacks that will
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: actulently take a sack or they'll try to do something.
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: I mean, he is just so the presence of mind
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: in every situation when it's winning time is unbelievable. And
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: the fact that Russ brought us to within inches in
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: a game that I'm gonna tell you probably ninety eight
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: percent of the country thought was over. Yeah, so I
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: mean Russell ball out yesterday. Russell, he's so aware of
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: what's going on. In a perfect example for me was
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: that pass to Tyler Lockett. The line of scrimmage is
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: right there. He knows that, Okay, I can step past
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: this line of scrimmage as long as there there's a
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: piece of my body on the other side of the
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: line of scrimmage. And then he comes to the podium
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: after the game he says, yeah, I had to drag
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: my back foot a little bit just to make sure.
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: I'm like, who's thinking about that? In the middle of
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: a play like that, you know, usually you kind of
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: feel it, But he said, I purposely dragged my back
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: foot so I could make this play. This shows you
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: how common aware he is at. Oh my goodness, to
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: have that, Like you said, in the heat of the
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: battle in the you usually you feel the line of scammage,
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: but you go back. I don't know if I crossed
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: or not. He knew exactly what always drug his feet.
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: Russell Wilson's amazing. Russell's the man. Travis Homer, the Youngster
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: got his first start, he had ten carries for sixty
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: two yards and five receptions for thirty yards. What can
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: you say about this guy? He came out hot. We
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: know he runs hard, he doesn't shy away from contact.
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: It's probably the fastest football player on the field when
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: he's out there. But he didn't look like a rookie. No,
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: he didn't look like an all pro. But he didn't
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: look like this was his first rodeo. And then he's
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: scared in timid to get the football. No he I
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: mean you. He literally throws his body to the one
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: He does not care. He is like a Kami Kazi
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: out there. He will throw his body. He got flipped
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: over a couple of times when he's always coming downhill.
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: And even though he's not built like Chris Carson or
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: Marshawn Lynch, he runs like it right. And then also
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: he was good in the past game. And then the
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: thing that probably gets overlooked is how he handled the
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: end of the game situations right, knowing all the checks
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: always in the right spot. I just felt like Homer
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: really showed you what the Seahawks when they drafted him. Yeah,
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: and him being in the game late like that, and
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: not having any mental errors just means he's a professional.
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: He comes to work every single day all year. He
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: hasn't beginning repped. You got a Chris Carson, you got
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: a penny, he got a pro slice. All these guys
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: are in front of you. Yet you stay locked into
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: the game plan, into the languages of the philosophies to
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: where when when your numbers called, you're ready to go.
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: And he did not disappoint. Proud of the youngster. Travis Homer, Yeah, man,
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: he bowled out. Next top performer, DK Metcalf had six
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: receptions for eighty one yards and a touchdown. Dk Metcalf
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: finished his first NFL regular season with fifty eight catches,
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: nine hundred yards and seven touchdowns. That second most catches
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: and receiving by Seahawk rookie and team history behind Joey
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: Galloway in nineteen ninety five. I didn't think he was
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: gonna do all this. I thought I thought he'd be solid.
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: I thought maybe four hundred yards, four touchdowns. But every
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: week you just see him progressed and grow. And you
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: talked to the coaches and all they say is is
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: he works his butt off. He's always in the film room,
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: he's always in the playbook, he's always doing extra stuff
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: after practice. Some to us it might be a little surprising,
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: like man, he had a great season, but when you
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: talk to people in this building who have been around him,
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: there's no surprise. He puts the work in and there's
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: not a day where I don't see after practice when
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: you're getting media stuff going that DK is not catching
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: extra balls out to practice, or running a couple extra
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: route to Russell Wilson, or catching the tennis balls on
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: the player off day. I mean, DK is always locked in,
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: and it's no surprise to any in this building how
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: he performed. Not knowing that about DK before he was drafted, Yeah,
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: I figured he maybe has twenty some catches, maybe three
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: to four hundred yards, maybe one or two touchdowns, shows
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: his vertical skills, but he obviously showed he can need
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: a lot more than that. Yes, Sir Bars, Shawn Lynch
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: had twelve carries for thirty four yards and one big touchdowns.
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: Now that stat line will fool you a little bit.
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: Twelve carris for thirty four He had one big run
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: for fifteen yards, which really got the guys going. But
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: it was more his presence than his style of running.
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: You know, he might have had a one or two
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: yard gang, but he he was leaning forward, he was
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: looking for contact and he brought an energy to the
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: team into the stadium. You listen to every postgame interview
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: from the players, would whether be Hollister, kJ Russell, They
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: all talk about just the energy that he brings. And
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: then the one touchdown he had. I mean, the dude,
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: the dude can still jump, you know, he has a back,
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: that little vert, you know, and I loved his his
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: his awareness as well. He jumps up, he thinks about
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: extending the ball, see somebody coming, he tucks it back in,
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: make sure he absorbs the contact, then sticks the ball
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: out again. That's just a vet right there. Oh, Marshawn
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: shold have been there, done that before. Very familiar crossing
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: the goal line in the Seahawk uniforms. So that was
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: great to see. Like you said, Dave aren't talked about
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: a lot in the post game last night. Not a
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: lot of running backs go over the top, So it
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: was cool to see that from Marshawn. Ye. Nice to
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: see it. Bobby Wagner and kJ Wright have thirteen combined
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: tackles and a couple of big hits that re energies
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: that defense Kjum and I mean in kJ. If you
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: know kJ, he's such a good person man, you wish
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: nothing for the best for kJ. So when you see
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: this nice guy smack somebody, it gets me even that,
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: even that especially it was George Kittle too on the
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: one and he just came rear back and blew him up.
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: And then you even looked at the replay on the football,
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: Kittle to shake his head like whoo. That was a
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: big an. So I'd love to see kJ. It gave
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: us a little spark defensively. We needed that and it
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: was good to see both those guys playing well. All right,
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: that's the top performance. Let's move down to the receiver
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: round up. Like we mentioned, DK six catches eighty one yards,
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: one touchdown along of twenty four. The best play for
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: me was that that back shoulder ball in the end zone.
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: It was beautiful. Time was great. Lockett six catches fifty
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: one yards, one touchdown. We talked about his touchdown where
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: Russell Wilson Russell Wilson buying some time. David Moore two
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: catches thirty yards on long at seven team. I liked
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: what he did in the return game, had probably the
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: biggest punt return of the year for the Hawks this year.
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: Maybe it was about ten to fifteen yards, but health
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: field position there. Travis Homer had five catches for thirty
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: yards and Jacob Hollister four for twenty five. If he
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: would have had four for twenty six, oh god, we
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: would have been in there. But it is what it is.
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: Jono Sue, my guy' been looking for him all year,
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: had his first catch of the year for eleven yards,
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: and it was right. It was a third day in
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: ten and ten, fourth and ten. Get down to the
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: one first catch of the season. Wait, wait, wait, step
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: as a rookie to seven seen in the game of
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: that mattered to the game on the line for your season,
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: coming down to that point one play and he was
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: just locked in and showed that little burst. That's what
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: we've been waiting to see all year, and he finally
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: got his opportunity and he did we had to do.
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: I've been just looking natural doing it. Swoops had one
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: catch for five yards as well. Then you got JB
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: with two targets, no catches. I hope he's doing all right.
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: All right, Now we're gonna move to the coaches' corner.
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: We're gonna talk about Tyler Lockett's fourteen yard touchdown from
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: Russell Wilson. It's thirty nine on the stam fran fourteen
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: and third quarter clock is ticking down. Russell gets the
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: snap just before it ticks away. Russell steps up in
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: the pocket, looks, looks, looks still looking. Now he fired. Touchdown.
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: Tyler Lockett un covers at the last possible second, Russell
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: grills in the back of the end zone. The Hawks
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: are on the board. Now, this was the Seahawks go to.
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: Now they runt it out of a bunch formation as
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: three receivers are that are clamped up pretty tight. Usually
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: they run this concept out of a trans formation where
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: the receivers have more space inside of what they love
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: to do out here, the number one receiver the furthest
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: receiver outside or run a hitch or a slant, a
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: number two receiver run a hitch or a slant, and
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: then Tyler Lockett and at the third receiver's spot closest
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: to the tackle will run a corner. They do the
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: same thing. They do it out of a bunch. What
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: happens here is I think San Franz study their film.
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: The corner drops into us his own. The safety stays
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: over the top of Locket. So now Russell's looking, he's scrambling.
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: He's scrambling, and who are the scrambled champions of the world.
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: Russell Wilson and Tyler Lockett always get on the same page.
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: We talked about Russell Wilson's awareness on this play where
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: he stayed behind line of scrimmage, and now it's just
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: put it in a spot. I mean, all Locket had
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: to do was jump up and turn his hands over. Nothing,
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: nothing much. The window is so small right there. I remember,
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: I think Dori said last night he wants to see
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: the percentage, the catch percentage on that play right there. Yeah,
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: I think I saw something that It was like point
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: four three something yards of separation, which is like the
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: least that Russell's had all seasons. So it was pretty wild.
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: And like you said, that is the seats, bread and butter,
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: that little corner route out of trips in the corner
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: of the end zone. Niners get paid too, They get
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: paid to watch film to do all that stuff. Defended
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: it well and scrambledrill. It's it's instinctive. The second Okay,
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: the routes over the second he feels, okay, it's not there.
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: My first look wasn't there. Russell starts moving, they link
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: up and paid it once again. That was a huge
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: touchdown and kind of got the Seahawks going. Great chemistry
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: between those two as always. All Right, the best thing
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: about this game the grit of this team. They were
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: banged up. They were losing twenty four to fourteam with
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: five minutes left in the fourth quarter, and Russell still
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: did this thing, got within a couple of inches of
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: winning the division. But it's a new new season now, yep.
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: That's why it's called the post season. There's a preseason,
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: there's a season, and now there's a postseason. All right.
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: You make your way through the progression and guess what,
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: despite the loss, despite what happened last night, they're still
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: in the playoffs. They're going to Philly like it's a
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: favorable opponent. Hawks twelves keep supporting these boys. I think
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: they're doing a great job facing adversity in the face.
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: I think they're gonna go to Philly and get her done.
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: It's been real. Michael Bumps, your host, along with Nasa Choby,
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: the producer. Thank you Ray Roberts for joining us. That's
