Speaker 1: You're listening to Hawk Talk with former Seahawks wide receiver
0:05
Speaker 1: Michael Bumpus. After ten yard line, second and eight three
0:08
Speaker 1: wide receivers now in motion, has Bumpas left to right,
0:12
Speaker 1: Julius Jones, a single setback Matt Pumpfecks looking at the
0:14
Speaker 1: goal line, he throws it into the end zone. Touchdown. Sayhawks,
0:19
Speaker 1: it's Michael Bumpas with a diving catching the end zone.
0:23
Speaker 1: Our ten yard touchdown reception for Puppas and the kid
0:26
Speaker 1: out of Washington State has found himself a place on
0:29
Speaker 1: this team. Powered by Seahawks dot Com Talk, greekap Edish
0:35
Speaker 1: and the Seahawks beat down the Jets forty to three,
0:39
Speaker 1: exactly what we all wanted. And let's get into the
0:43
Speaker 1: trenches right now with Big Ray. See how he feels.
0:47
Speaker 1: It's time to go inside the trenches with former Seahawk
0:51
Speaker 1: Ray Roberts. Big Ray, they did what they were supposed
0:56
Speaker 1: to do. How do you feel about this win? You
0:59
Speaker 1: know what I was thinking about this, uh this morning.
1:02
Speaker 1: I went back last night, watched some of the film
1:04
Speaker 1: and just kind of looked over my notes from the
1:06
Speaker 1: postgame comments, and I think this game, like you said,
1:12
Speaker 1: they did what they're supposed to do to win the game.
1:14
Speaker 1: Doesn't really make a statement, but the loser game would
1:17
Speaker 1: have U. And then out of the postgame interviews, the
1:23
Speaker 1: words I heard were processed, which means that the defense
1:26
Speaker 1: and the offense that created a process that they're willing
1:29
Speaker 1: to go through and put themselves through each week to
1:31
Speaker 1: make sure that they're prepared uh for the game. Uh.
1:35
Speaker 1: And then from that process I heard the word trust uh.
1:38
Speaker 1: And you know, and I know that like in any
1:40
Speaker 1: type of relationship, especially one where you're depending on someone
1:44
Speaker 1: else heavily, that trust is a big thing and it
1:47
Speaker 1: allows you to play free when you can trust the
1:50
Speaker 1: other the other people around you. Um. And then also
1:54
Speaker 1: the third thing was perspective. I think they really kept
1:57
Speaker 1: this game in prospective. They didn't get too high. I
2:00
Speaker 1: think this is maybe one of the times where I
2:03
Speaker 1: totally agree with Russell and his mutuality, uh, you know
2:08
Speaker 1: way of going about things where you don't get too
2:10
Speaker 1: high or get too low. I think that the that
2:12
Speaker 1: they did a really good job of really re establishing
2:15
Speaker 1: who they are. And then the big test will be
2:17
Speaker 1: if they can repeat that over and over. Yeah, that
2:20
Speaker 1: will be nice to repeat over and over I agree
2:22
Speaker 1: with you, Ray, It's kind of like, yeah, we went out,
2:24
Speaker 1: we beat a team who was struggling. We did what
2:27
Speaker 1: we were supposed to do. But let's let's keep it
2:29
Speaker 1: in perspective. We're supposed to do that. This is who
2:32
Speaker 1: we are. Now, let's talk about this offensive line. Man,
2:34
Speaker 1: they didn't give um any sacks. So does that speak
2:37
Speaker 1: to the performance of that offensive line or do you
2:40
Speaker 1: think play calling had a bit to do with it
2:42
Speaker 1: or a mix of both. I think is a mix
2:44
Speaker 1: of both. To just say that, you know, the offensive
2:47
Speaker 1: line just in and of itself, you know, dominated and
2:51
Speaker 1: made it hard for the for those guys who get
2:53
Speaker 1: to the quarterback wouldn't be true. I think throwing some
2:56
Speaker 1: of those quicker routes, you know, trying to throw some screens,
2:59
Speaker 1: throw on those moat screens out to the receivers on
3:01
Speaker 1: the on the edge, sometimes those plays having beared a
3:05
Speaker 1: whole lot of fruit. But what it does is it
3:07
Speaker 1: makes the pass rush has to think twice, you know,
3:09
Speaker 1: on their way to the quarterback. It frustrates the defensive
3:12
Speaker 1: line because they're they're trying to get to the quarterback
3:15
Speaker 1: as best they can and giving it all. They're all
3:17
Speaker 1: and then the ball is gone in like two you know,
3:19
Speaker 1: one second, the ball is gone. And so I think
3:22
Speaker 1: the play calling, UH incorporating the run where you get
3:25
Speaker 1: to take some of the steam out of the speed
3:27
Speaker 1: of the pass rush also helped, UH. And so I
3:31
Speaker 1: think it was a combination of all of it. The
3:33
Speaker 1: thing I like about it though, is that, UM it
3:36
Speaker 1: then made it possible to recognize the offensive line because
3:41
Speaker 1: of some of the seal struggles. UM, it's easy to
3:45
Speaker 1: look at the offensive line and say, oh, well, Russell
3:47
Speaker 1: got hit this many times, so we gave up this
3:49
Speaker 1: many sacks or uh, you know, our yards to carry
3:52
Speaker 1: or whatever of it is down. But if you look
3:54
Speaker 1: over the over the season, this offensive line has been
3:57
Speaker 1: really consistent. Even when Shell went down. You know, Cedric
4:00
Speaker 1: had a tough time, but Micol Jones played really good football,
4:04
Speaker 1: you know, a couple of weeks ago, and so they've
4:06
Speaker 1: been playing really good football. I looked over the film
4:08
Speaker 1: again tonight, um, this morning, and then I'm gonna tell you, man,
4:12
Speaker 1: Damian Lewis is on his way to be in UH
4:15
Speaker 1: an All Pro and Pro bowler at guard. The dude
4:19
Speaker 1: had a really solid football game in the past. Pass
4:22
Speaker 1: detection and in the run game. So I'm really pleased
4:24
Speaker 1: with how those dudes are planned. I'm glad that people
4:27
Speaker 1: are starting to recognize just how he's fishing and how
4:29
Speaker 1: good they are. Yeah, in sticking with that online Ray
4:32
Speaker 1: Brandon Shell missed a game, if he misses another game,
4:34
Speaker 1: are you are you okay with that? How their backups doing?
4:37
Speaker 1: Do you feel like they'll be able to move forward?
4:39
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be a challenge this week if
4:41
Speaker 1: Shell isn't in there and you don't have DeMarco Jamarco Jones.
4:46
Speaker 1: I think the two of those those guys are the
4:48
Speaker 1: best at the right tackle spot. I think if any
4:52
Speaker 1: of the other backups that are gonna be in there,
4:54
Speaker 1: and if they're moving Chase Young all around, and they
4:57
Speaker 1: have my man's sweat as well against on that Washington
5:02
Speaker 1: football team. Because the front, it's gonna be tough. Man,
5:05
Speaker 1: it's gonna be tough for all the guys up there.
5:06
Speaker 1: Dwayne Brown included. You know, Uh, those guys can really
5:09
Speaker 1: get after the quarterback and they play well. That front
5:12
Speaker 1: seven places well against the run. So this it was
5:14
Speaker 1: a good tune up for this UM team yesterday to
5:20
Speaker 1: be ready for this real challenge that they're gonna have.
5:23
Speaker 1: It's almost like they got a pop quiz before the
5:24
Speaker 1: final exam. And so not that the Washington football team
5:28
Speaker 1: is the final exam, but it is an exam. Let's
5:31
Speaker 1: switch over the defense. Now. The defense has been playing
5:33
Speaker 1: well the last one two or three weeks. What do
5:35
Speaker 1: you think the main reason for that is? You know what,
5:38
Speaker 1: like you know, being a former football player, you know
5:41
Speaker 1: in the NFL, you know, I've been in a lot
5:44
Speaker 1: of the player only meetings, and I've been in a
5:46
Speaker 1: lot of these kind of hey, let's get it right
5:49
Speaker 1: meetings with coaches, and so you tend to kind of
5:52
Speaker 1: discount them a little bit. But from what I was
5:54
Speaker 1: hearing in the postgame comments, kJ Wright came out and said,
5:58
Speaker 1: I liked those meet I like getting up. It creates energy,
6:02
Speaker 1: it creates trust, and uh and I think that has
6:05
Speaker 1: been a difference man, the accountability of meetings, like what
6:08
Speaker 1: are you doing on this play call? Where where do
6:10
Speaker 1: you fit? How do I fit? And then how do
6:12
Speaker 1: we you know, execute this together? And so then you
6:15
Speaker 1: know you heard, uh Shaquille Griffin say the same thing
6:18
Speaker 1: like that, those meetings mean means so much because you
6:22
Speaker 1: have without a shadow of a doubt that when you
6:24
Speaker 1: make a call or you fit where you're supposed to fit,
6:26
Speaker 1: that the other guy's going to be where he's supposed
6:28
Speaker 1: to be. And I think that really is a big
6:31
Speaker 1: catalyst to how they're planning along with you know, getting
6:34
Speaker 1: done Lap you know, came in and created a spark
6:36
Speaker 1: and helped, you know, elevate the pass rush. And then
6:39
Speaker 1: Jamal Adams was healthy, and then and then the one
6:42
Speaker 1: player that I think hasn't been getting enough credit even
6:45
Speaker 1: though we try to every now and then, it's kJ Wright.
6:47
Speaker 1: Kna Wright is bi subsistent all year. He's been making plays.
6:51
Speaker 1: He's been popping off the screen, you know, interceptions, tackles,
6:54
Speaker 1: you can't run a screen against him. Almost had another
6:56
Speaker 1: interception yesterday, broke up a couple of passes, made some
7:00
Speaker 1: big tackles in the run game. And he may not
7:03
Speaker 1: jump off the screen like like a Jamal Adams, but
7:06
Speaker 1: if you look at the consistency of how he's planned
7:08
Speaker 1: to do this plan at a at a Pro Bowl,
7:10
Speaker 1: all pro level, I agree, man, kJ consistent, reliable, always
7:15
Speaker 1: making a play. Now, what what are your thoughts on
7:18
Speaker 1: this team at this point, this point of the season.
7:20
Speaker 1: Are they a Super Bowl contender? You think they'll make
7:23
Speaker 1: a run overall feelings of the Seattle Seahawks right now,
7:27
Speaker 1: my my heart tells me that absolutely they're a super
7:32
Speaker 1: Bowl contender, and they're they're capable of winning a Super
7:35
Speaker 1: Bowl because you know, you have ballers on both sides.
7:38
Speaker 1: You know, I've already I've already kind of talked about
7:40
Speaker 1: the guys and the weapons we have on offense last week,
7:43
Speaker 1: and you think about it. On defense, you have kJ
7:45
Speaker 1: Wright who's a Pro Bowl type player. You have uh,
7:48
Speaker 1: you know, Bobby Wagner who's an all time great middle linebacker.
7:51
Speaker 1: You have Jamal Adams, you know, just set the sack
7:55
Speaker 1: record for for dbs uh in a in a single season.
7:58
Speaker 1: You have Shaquille Griffin who is a Pro Bowl type corner.
8:02
Speaker 1: You have a Dunbar on the back end who's also
8:04
Speaker 1: a Pro Bowl type guy. So you have all the pieces.
8:07
Speaker 1: So your heart says, like, man, why can't they win
8:10
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl? But then, but then my mind says,
8:13
Speaker 1: what about Washington football team? You know, like like what
8:16
Speaker 1: about what about taking that exam? And then there's a
8:19
Speaker 1: few other exams to take after that, And so I
8:22
Speaker 1: think how they play, especially on the road. Um uh,
8:26
Speaker 1: This week will speak volumes to whether or not they're
8:29
Speaker 1: gonna be a one and done in the playoffs or
8:31
Speaker 1: they're gonna be able to make a deep run into playoffs.
8:34
Speaker 1: All right, well you heard it first, some big Ray.
8:36
Speaker 1: They just got to know the pop quiz. Now they
8:38
Speaker 1: got the exam coming up. Let's see if it is
8:41
Speaker 1: a pass or a fail, Big Ray, appreciate your time, man, Yeah,
8:45
Speaker 1: no problem, big done piece. All right, man, Nasa Chelby,
8:50
Speaker 1: Seahawks got are done. Let's figure out what happened. See
8:55
Speaker 1: what happened at first? What had happened was on Harknock.
9:03
Speaker 1: What had happened was the Seahawks are back in the
9:06
Speaker 1: win column, destroying the Jets forty to three at Looming
9:10
Speaker 1: Field and bump, man, it feels good. It feels good
9:13
Speaker 1: to be where you're supposed to be. It feels good
9:15
Speaker 1: to beat the teams you were supposed to beat, and
9:17
Speaker 1: the Seahawks did exactly that on Sunday. I mean, it
9:21
Speaker 1: was his domination starting to finish. This is the biggest
9:23
Speaker 1: Seahawks margin of victory since they beat the Cardinals fifty
9:26
Speaker 1: eight to zero and twenty twelve, the run game had
9:29
Speaker 1: to go on. Russell Wilson had to go into the
9:31
Speaker 1: past game. It just felt right, Bump. It felt like
9:33
Speaker 1: the game plan that they had was good for this game.
9:36
Speaker 1: It felt like they executed. It just felt like everything
9:38
Speaker 1: that they were supposed to do happen on Sunday. So
9:40
Speaker 1: it's refreshing to see those guys get that done. Nice
9:43
Speaker 1: to see him get it done. They rushed for one
9:45
Speaker 1: hundred seventy four yards on thirty six carries. I really
9:48
Speaker 1: liked the balance between Chris Carson and Carlos Hide. Obviously,
9:53
Speaker 1: thirty two is the guy. He's gonna touch the rock first,
9:55
Speaker 1: but after that, if Carlos High comes in, he's good
9:57
Speaker 1: to go. He still had sixty something yards, Carlos High
10:00
Speaker 1: had had seventy six. Is one of the best won
10:03
Speaker 1: two combinations in the league. They're not gonna value with
10:05
Speaker 1: their stats, obviously, just because of how the Hawks throw
10:08
Speaker 1: the football and then Carson being out and Carlins had
10:10
Speaker 1: have been out. But they are getting healthy at the
10:13
Speaker 1: right time and it was nice to see them established
10:15
Speaker 1: a run earlier this week. Oh, no question about it.
10:17
Speaker 1: And that was the thing, like I talked about, Hey,
10:19
Speaker 1: Chris Carson needs to have X amount of carries. I
10:22
Speaker 1: think the number I said was twenty. He needs to
10:24
Speaker 1: touch the ball twenty times. On Sunday he got close
10:27
Speaker 1: to it. So he had twelve twelve carries for seventy
10:29
Speaker 1: six yards. He had five he was targeted five times
10:32
Speaker 1: through receptions. That's fifteen. Also, you gotta think the game
10:36
Speaker 1: got out of hand, So if the game was closer,
10:39
Speaker 1: I think Carson would have continued to impose his will
10:41
Speaker 1: and touch the rock more times. But it just felt good, man,
10:44
Speaker 1: And uh, he's just something about thirty two. Man. Carson's
10:47
Speaker 1: a different body. Man, He's a different dude when he
10:50
Speaker 1: when he runs the football. It was nice see him
10:51
Speaker 1: break a couple as his physical he just he embodies
10:55
Speaker 1: everything that they want the Seahawks want to do offensively,
10:57
Speaker 1: especially in the run game. So loved this see that,
11:00
Speaker 1: and honestly, blunt man, it felt like you were back
11:02
Speaker 1: at Monroe High School. It was a blowout on a
11:05
Speaker 1: Friday night and everyone got in the game. Everybody got
11:08
Speaker 1: to eat. We saw Burt Curve and Cody Barr and
11:10
Speaker 1: Lennon Stevens and Shakim didn't just eat, I mean didn't
11:14
Speaker 1: his play. He got a sack, so nice to see
11:16
Speaker 1: him do his thing as well. And I liked the
11:20
Speaker 1: offensive game play they came out. I saw so many hitches,
11:24
Speaker 1: I saw so many checkdowns, and then when the opportunity
11:27
Speaker 1: presented itself, Russell took his shot. He threw up an
11:30
Speaker 1: interception to DK, but I feel like the interception was
11:33
Speaker 1: just ridiculous. One hand to tip to yourself. Deb just
11:36
Speaker 1: made a play. But it seemed like they were not
11:38
Speaker 1: forcing the football down the field, and that's evident. When
11:41
Speaker 1: Russell doesn't get sacked, let means he's getting the football
11:43
Speaker 1: out quick. When you're asking these linemen a block for
11:46
Speaker 1: four or five seconds, it's almost impossible to do in
11:50
Speaker 1: the NFL. So I think Shotty said, look, we're gonna
11:53
Speaker 1: take our time, We're gonna dincon dunk, and we'll work
11:57
Speaker 1: our way down the football field getting to the red zone.
11:59
Speaker 1: I mean, there wasn't we didn't have the fifty yard play.
12:02
Speaker 1: You know, we didn't have the over the top play,
12:04
Speaker 1: which is fine. I'm seeing that the Hawks can win
12:08
Speaker 1: in different types of styles of football, and I think
12:11
Speaker 1: that's going to help them when they start to make
12:13
Speaker 1: a run in the playoffs. Oh, no question about it.
12:15
Speaker 1: And I think the game the way the years started,
12:18
Speaker 1: where they had games where they blew people out or
12:20
Speaker 1: they got up super big early and then the team's
12:23
Speaker 1: kind of made it a comeback late. They've had games
12:25
Speaker 1: that they won in the last second. Now they've had
12:27
Speaker 1: a game where they absolutely blew them out and started
12:29
Speaker 1: to finish. Show they've seen every situation they can see
12:31
Speaker 1: in a football game, and I think that's really important
12:34
Speaker 1: as they head down to the stretch run as in December,
12:36
Speaker 1: because right now everything they want to do is still
12:38
Speaker 1: on the table. If they want to be the number
12:40
Speaker 1: one seed, they're gonna need a little bit of help.
12:42
Speaker 1: But the Saints just lost last week. The Saints have
12:45
Speaker 1: the Chiefs coming up, so like everything they want to
12:47
Speaker 1: do if they continue to win, is pretty much on
12:49
Speaker 1: the table. So it's good to see there. And then defensively, dude, defensively,
12:53
Speaker 1: this team, we were not sure if we were ever
12:57
Speaker 1: going to see them improved. Defensively, they were statistically everyone
13:01
Speaker 1: talked about it. Everyone beat us over the head with it.
13:04
Speaker 1: They're the worst defense in the history of the NFL.
13:06
Speaker 1: Blah blah blah, blah blah, this and that, well, I
13:09
Speaker 1: don't care about that. We've been talking about this all year.
13:11
Speaker 1: There's benchmarks. Since the second half of the Rams game,
13:15
Speaker 1: these guys have been playing at a top five, top
13:18
Speaker 1: ten defense in the NFL. They've donated everybody. The Jets, Yes,
13:22
Speaker 1: they came into the game. They're not a good football team,
13:24
Speaker 1: they're not good offensively, but this is still the National
13:26
Speaker 1: Football League. They didn't cross the goal, they didn't cross
13:29
Speaker 1: the field midfield in the second half. Man, when our
13:32
Speaker 1: twos got in, they didn't move the football. I mean,
13:35
Speaker 1: we dominated everything we're supposed to do, held in the
13:38
Speaker 1: three points, one hundred and eighty five yards, and a
13:40
Speaker 1: big thing for me was there four twelve one third down.
13:42
Speaker 1: So they've hit their stride. They've gotten to the point
13:46
Speaker 1: where they we need them to be, and we're gonna
13:48
Speaker 1: need to lean on them this last three weeks. Man,
13:50
Speaker 1: we're playing some really good offenses, so we're gonna need
13:53
Speaker 1: to lean on them for sure. Yeah, this defense was disrespectful. Man,
13:56
Speaker 1: three yards, that may excuse me. Three points in the
13:58
Speaker 1: whole game, and that came on the first drive. After that,
14:00
Speaker 1: they scored forty unanswered points, which is hard to do.
14:03
Speaker 1: I don't care who you're playing, and then Jamal Adams.
14:06
Speaker 1: It might not have been the type of sack he
14:08
Speaker 1: wanted to break the most sacks by a DB's record
14:11
Speaker 1: because it was kind of like, okay, a force shout
14:14
Speaker 1: of balance behind the line of scrimmish, but so what,
14:16
Speaker 1: it's a sack. Jamal now holds the record for most
14:19
Speaker 1: sacks buy a dB. We talked to Peca earlier total
14:22
Speaker 1: ask him what makes him so special. He goes and
14:24
Speaker 1: he sees it. He just goes, Yeah, he's the guy
14:26
Speaker 1: who if he believes it, he sees it. He's flying there.
14:29
Speaker 1: No one's gonna stop him from getting to the quarterback,
14:31
Speaker 1: and it was good to see. It was also good
14:33
Speaker 1: to see him handle himself like a professional. He wasn't
14:35
Speaker 1: hooting and hollering about the Jets. He wasn't making a
14:38
Speaker 1: bunch of doors before the game. After the game, he
14:40
Speaker 1: was like, look, man, this is what I'm here to do.
14:42
Speaker 1: This is my job. I'm a seahawking. Now there's no
14:44
Speaker 1: reason to go back in the past and dwell on
14:47
Speaker 1: all the negativity that came with the Jets. So nice
14:50
Speaker 1: to see the defense put together dominant performance. So did
14:54
Speaker 1: the offense. Special teams gave up a sixty six yard return,
14:59
Speaker 1: which is I wouldn't say it's a sore, but you
15:04
Speaker 1: don't want to see that. But on a positive note,
15:06
Speaker 1: when it comes to special teams, Myers is still perfect
15:08
Speaker 1: yep um kicking kicking field goal. So a lot of
15:10
Speaker 1: good things happened in this game. So now let's talk
15:13
Speaker 1: about the playmakers. Playmakers, all right, the quarterback Russell Wilson,
15:29
Speaker 1: number three on the jersey, number one in your hearts.
15:31
Speaker 1: Here's the thing about ross Man. He bounces back and
15:34
Speaker 1: plays his best football after the Seahawks lose a game
15:37
Speaker 1: or don't play as well as they have hoped. He
15:39
Speaker 1: struggled last week after the Giants. It was a complete
15:41
Speaker 1: different situation. On Sunday twenty one or twenty seven, two
15:45
Speaker 1: hundred and six yards, four touchdowns, one interception, set the
15:48
Speaker 1: Seahawks record for touchdown passes in a season with thirty six,
15:52
Speaker 1: breaking his previous record of thirty five he set in
15:55
Speaker 1: twenty eighteen. Dudes got three more games to play. He
15:58
Speaker 1: was just on it, man, And what I loved about
16:00
Speaker 1: it it was condiction, man. Like you said, he was
16:02
Speaker 1: getting the ball out there. It wasn't a hole line
16:03
Speaker 1: of the ball, whatever he saw defensively, because the Jets
16:06
Speaker 1: played every cover until you can play. They played all.
16:08
Speaker 1: They played some man, they played some cover two, they
16:10
Speaker 1: played some two man, and played some cover three. That
16:12
Speaker 1: they did it all. Russell read what was in front
16:15
Speaker 1: of him and just executed. He made some really nice
16:18
Speaker 1: throws and I just love to see it because that's
16:20
Speaker 1: the way he played on Sundays, the way he needs
16:22
Speaker 1: to play every week. And I just love the consistency,
16:25
Speaker 1: the conviction in his throws. And he played like the
16:28
Speaker 1: MVP he was at the beginning of the season, and
16:30
Speaker 1: the Seahawks did need that down the stretch al right.
16:33
Speaker 1: He broke another record, surprise, surprise, Russell Wilson breaking records.
16:36
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson has recorded his fifteenth career game with four
16:40
Speaker 1: plus touchdowns. Now he's tied for second with Peyton Manning,
16:45
Speaker 1: Peyton Manning, Drew Brees, Tom Brady. I mean, Russell Wilson's
16:50
Speaker 1: being mentioned in categories with some of the greats of
16:52
Speaker 1: all times, and he still doesn't get his love, his respect,
16:55
Speaker 1: But he doesn't. He doesn't on the on the silent,
16:58
Speaker 1: It's almost like at the beginning of the season, people
17:00
Speaker 1: are just waiting for Russell to fail. I don't know
17:02
Speaker 1: what it is about. People outside stay to Washington want
17:04
Speaker 1: Russell to fail. But he doesn't do that. He just
17:07
Speaker 1: over cheese. He's consistent, he keeps going. Yes, he threw
17:11
Speaker 1: an interception, but I'll take that interception because as a receiver,
17:14
Speaker 1: you're giving me a chance. Fifty fifty football, give me
17:16
Speaker 1: a chance to go get a dB just makes a play.
17:19
Speaker 1: But Russell Wilson through the first nine seasons, it's one
17:22
Speaker 1: of the most successful quarterbacks of all time. No, it's
17:25
Speaker 1: a question. I mean. The thing about it too, is
17:27
Speaker 1: like Russell when he has bad games or when he
17:32
Speaker 1: has a bad game, it's like people hold his feet
17:34
Speaker 1: to the fire and they're like see I told you
17:36
Speaker 1: or blah blah blah, this and that. If Patrick Mahomes
17:39
Speaker 1: or Aaron Rodgers or anyone has a bad game, they
17:41
Speaker 1: don't all of a sudden be like, you know what,
17:42
Speaker 1: he can't be the MVP anymore because he had a
17:44
Speaker 1: gaming through a couple interceptions. Blah blah blah. Patrick Mahomes
17:47
Speaker 1: didn't play well on Sunday. No one's talking about Patrick Mahomes.
17:50
Speaker 1: This morning. We woke up because they bounced back, they're
17:52
Speaker 1: on the football game. He stepped into an amazing situation.
17:55
Speaker 1: And I'm not trying to knock on Patrick Mahomes. I'm
17:57
Speaker 1: just saying it feels like a double standard anytime we're
17:59
Speaker 1: talking about russ because when he has a bad game,
18:01
Speaker 1: it's all his fault. It's this is this is this.
18:04
Speaker 1: When other quarterbacks have bad games, they blame everybody else.
18:07
Speaker 1: So Russell Wilson, keep doing your thing. I appreciate you.
18:11
Speaker 1: You're MVP in our world and you're continue to do that.
18:13
Speaker 1: So we love seeing that. The running game, Man, we
18:16
Speaker 1: talked about a little bit Chris Carson, Carlos Hide Man
18:18
Speaker 1: twelve carries for Carson seventy six yards when touchdown, Hide
18:21
Speaker 1: fifteen carries sixty six yards. This was the best it
18:25
Speaker 1: felt from watching the game in terms of our running game,
18:28
Speaker 1: how everything flowed, how they offensive line was blocking and
18:31
Speaker 1: holes things like that. And I think if they would
18:35
Speaker 1: have played the whole game, they could have rushed for
18:37
Speaker 1: way more yards. Yeah, easy, easy, Chris Carson Carlos Hide
18:42
Speaker 1: nice one two combo in total of twenty seven carries,
18:44
Speaker 1: hundred forty two yards and a touchdown. Chris Carson had
18:47
Speaker 1: a nice run, twenty eight yard run where he shows
18:49
Speaker 1: that burst. People see him as a powerbag, but he's
18:52
Speaker 1: got some speed as well. All right. DK metcast six
18:55
Speaker 1: receptions sixty one yards, one touchdown, and he also was
19:00
Speaker 1: a cameraman for about ten seconds, scored a touchdown, hopped
19:03
Speaker 1: in the stands, got behind the camera. He did get
19:05
Speaker 1: a penalty. I asked Pete kah he felt about that.
19:07
Speaker 1: He said he didn't like it, but it's nice that
19:09
Speaker 1: he's having fun. When you're playing against the Jets, you
19:12
Speaker 1: can take a fix to yar appenaloty And then they
19:14
Speaker 1: assessed it on the kickoff and the jetice got to
19:17
Speaker 1: the thirty, so essentially it was a five yard apenalty. No, no,
19:20
Speaker 1: no harm there. I like to see DK having fun,
19:22
Speaker 1: but I bet he will not be jumping into the
19:24
Speaker 1: stands and doing anything like that again, no question about.
19:27
Speaker 1: Here's the thing. I think it's one of those things where,
19:29
Speaker 1: of course Pete's gonna say I'm up sad and things
19:31
Speaker 1: like that. It's one of those things as a football coach,
19:33
Speaker 1: you're you're mad at them, but at the same time
19:35
Speaker 1: you kind of yell him like, hey, don't do that.
19:37
Speaker 1: But you're having them a boy to say, next play like,
19:39
Speaker 1: I like what you're doing there. And here's the thing, Man,
19:41
Speaker 1: d K one of the best athletes in the world
19:44
Speaker 1: in the National Football League. Camera work kind of shotty man.
19:48
Speaker 1: I saw that. I saw a flip son of that.
19:50
Speaker 1: He didn't really focus on anybody who was kind of
19:52
Speaker 1: up and down. So I think he needs to work
19:55
Speaker 1: on that in the film room this week, if you
19:56
Speaker 1: ever want to see that again. But all seriousness, no, DK,
19:59
Speaker 1: He's a man doing his thing, touchdown and still making plays,
20:04
Speaker 1: still making plays. Let's highlight this offensive line. Man no
20:07
Speaker 1: sacks for the first time in twenty twenty. Russell did
20:10
Speaker 1: not touch the ground unless he tripped on the way
20:13
Speaker 1: to the sideline or something like that. Russell's jersey was clean.
20:16
Speaker 1: Remember back in the days when everyone played on grass,
20:19
Speaker 1: your jersey actually got dirty. Jersey don't get dirty, just
20:21
Speaker 1: get a little scuffed up these days. But this offensive
20:24
Speaker 1: line kept Russell clean. And there are a lot of
20:28
Speaker 1: guys playing right your party. Was it that we've seen
20:31
Speaker 1: so many combinations on this offensive line that at this
20:35
Speaker 1: point of the season, honestly, I'm surprised that there were
20:38
Speaker 1: no secks I expect just because you have different guys
20:40
Speaker 1: going in a different time situation, that just the flow
20:43
Speaker 1: is gonna be off a bit. But because we've seen
20:46
Speaker 1: so many combinations, we're seeing that guys are getting more
20:49
Speaker 1: comfortable out there protecting Russell. Oh yeah. And I mean
20:52
Speaker 1: at one point yet Wheeler Simmons Lewis Fuller called forwards
20:56
Speaker 1: a center. He's out there playing right tackle. So it
21:00
Speaker 1: speaks to a couple of things. A that all these
21:02
Speaker 1: guys know what they're supposed to do, know everyone's job,
21:05
Speaker 1: the personality, flexibility, depth, which is great. And number two,
21:09
Speaker 1: I mean they went in there and they still moved
21:10
Speaker 1: the football with you know, Smith at quarterback, and they
21:12
Speaker 1: still moved the football, got a touchdown drive with that
21:14
Speaker 1: second offense. So I love to see offense rush for
21:17
Speaker 1: one hundred and seventy yards one hundred and twenty four yards.
21:20
Speaker 1: So it's great to see that because it's going to
21:23
Speaker 1: be important because hopefully everyone will be healthy and ready
21:26
Speaker 1: to go by the time the postseason comes. But the
21:27
Speaker 1: fact that people have game experience and they have game
21:30
Speaker 1: live game reps, it gives you more confidence or something
21:33
Speaker 1: were to happen if someone goes down to play. It's
21:36
Speaker 1: good that they're they're gonna be graaty Rock and we
21:38
Speaker 1: got to go back to defense man Jamal Adams. Five tackles,
21:42
Speaker 1: one sack when TfL one passed defended. It would have
21:45
Speaker 1: been so sweet if you got that interception. You know,
21:49
Speaker 1: the guys in the locker room were killing them for it.
21:52
Speaker 1: Oh man, they hit him right between the three and
21:54
Speaker 1: the three. It's tough because it was his former team.
21:57
Speaker 1: I get that, but listen, man, I'm not gonna hate
22:00
Speaker 1: on him brother for setting a record for most sacks
22:03
Speaker 1: in the history of the National Football League as a
22:06
Speaker 1: dB since he became official SAT in nineteen eighty two.
22:09
Speaker 1: Eight and a half on the season, he's got three games.
22:11
Speaker 1: I still think he's gonna get double digits. He's gonna
22:13
Speaker 1: finish this year leading the Seahawks, and SAT so big
22:16
Speaker 1: up to Jamal Adams. He didn't make too much about
22:18
Speaker 1: playing his former team. Went out there did we supposed
22:20
Speaker 1: to do, and honestly, I think he would have had
22:23
Speaker 1: a bigger game. But our game plan was so good defensively,
22:26
Speaker 1: and unfortunately in our game plan, we played a lot
22:28
Speaker 1: of man free a lot of man coverage, a lot
22:30
Speaker 1: of times Jamal Adams wasn't rushing the quarterback, so I
22:33
Speaker 1: think schematically because of our game plan, that didn't allow
22:36
Speaker 1: him to have the biggest game possible. But we gave
22:40
Speaker 1: up three points, so I'm not complaining. Yep. And you
22:42
Speaker 1: know why he didn't have as many as possible because
22:44
Speaker 1: dudes like Snacks Harrison was making plays. Man, he tied
22:48
Speaker 1: a team lead for tackles, went six or so. The
22:50
Speaker 1: fumble that was covered by Bobby Wagner. You don't talk
22:53
Speaker 1: about the interior linement a lot, so every time you
22:54
Speaker 1: can get a chance, you gotta showed the big boy
22:57
Speaker 1: some love. I also want to get pulled h some love.
22:59
Speaker 1: He should have had it interception, but kJ getting stingy
23:02
Speaker 1: when it is whether they're battling for a rebound, they
23:04
Speaker 1: drops to the ground. You can't blame those two for
23:06
Speaker 1: going after but it's nice to see Snacks and Puna
23:10
Speaker 1: making plays getting some love. When you have you're in
23:13
Speaker 1: tier lineman making tackles, that means they're stopping the room.
23:15
Speaker 1: I mean, guys aren't getting behind them, and they're cleaning
23:18
Speaker 1: stuff up before your linebackers can get to it. Always
23:21
Speaker 1: nice to see him the big boys perform. Let's go
23:25
Speaker 1: to the receiver room for the receiver round up. Now,
23:27
Speaker 1: let's talk about these stats. Mental decass six for sixty one,
23:31
Speaker 1: one touchdown, Lockett five targets, five catches, fifty two yards.
23:35
Speaker 1: He's still do. He's gonna have one or two more
23:37
Speaker 1: big games for the season is over. This Lee had
23:39
Speaker 1: two for twenty three and a touchdown. Freddie Swaying two
23:43
Speaker 1: for twenty two for a touchdown, his second touchdown of
23:46
Speaker 1: the year. You saw him early and oft in this game. Yep.
23:50
Speaker 1: You talk to Pete, he says he knows what he's
23:52
Speaker 1: doing from every position. If you want to touch a
23:55
Speaker 1: football field, focus on one position outside or inside, and
23:59
Speaker 1: then start learning everything. It makes you just great overall.
24:02
Speaker 1: That's what we're seeing out of Freddie Carson at three
24:04
Speaker 1: for twenty two. Demo had three for twenty and a touchdown.
24:07
Speaker 1: This dude had six touchdowns on the year, six touchdowns
24:10
Speaker 1: on the year. Man, he might be the best number
24:13
Speaker 1: three receiver in the league right now. He's not gonna
24:15
Speaker 1: kill you with yards, but he's always gonna make a play,
24:18
Speaker 1: no question about it. Then Kobe Parkinson jumps in big
24:20
Speaker 1: up to Kobe Parkinson first career NFL reception ended the
24:24
Speaker 1: game with two for sixteen yards. So it's great to
24:25
Speaker 1: see his feet get wet in the league and playing
24:28
Speaker 1: some meaningful STAPs. Because the thing about Kobe is he
24:30
Speaker 1: is going to be that wide receiver threat type. He's
24:34
Speaker 1: as a pass catcher. He's a big body, tall target,
24:37
Speaker 1: and I think as he continues to learn this offense
24:40
Speaker 1: and really get game reps, I think Kobe is gonna
24:42
Speaker 1: be in the future. Our tight end room is great.
24:45
Speaker 1: It's gonna be between Kobe and Diss and Hollister. There's
24:49
Speaker 1: so much potential for those guys moving forward. So it's
24:51
Speaker 1: great to see that Anny Hart one reception three yards
24:54
Speaker 1: but had gotten the running game will end around for
24:56
Speaker 1: nineteen yards. So it's great to see everyone get involved.
24:59
Speaker 1: And that's the thing love the most about this. Russell
25:01
Speaker 1: through four touchdowns to four different guys, so everyone was
25:04
Speaker 1: getting eat. Spread the love rusts. We love when you
25:09
Speaker 1: spread the love. Right, Let's go to the coach's corner
25:11
Speaker 1: and break down a play. Russell Wilson finds David Moore
25:14
Speaker 1: for a three yard touchdown. Russ gets the shotgun snap,
25:17
Speaker 1: looks to the end zone, steps away from one man
25:19
Speaker 1: throws the back of the end zone touchdown Seahawks. David
25:23
Speaker 1: Moore loses his defender under the goal post, makes the catch.
25:29
Speaker 1: That play made by Russell Wilson, who had somebody grab
25:32
Speaker 1: a hold of his foot. He shook him off and
25:34
Speaker 1: said get away. I got a touchdown to throw, and
25:37
Speaker 1: he does David Moore from three yards out. The Seahawks
25:42
Speaker 1: lead by thirty three. I really like this concept, Nass.
25:47
Speaker 1: We got three receivers down to the bottom of the field.
25:50
Speaker 1: We got DK at the number three spot. He's the
25:52
Speaker 1: furthest end receiver. Go DK, lock him, and then you
25:55
Speaker 1: have Demo, DK and Locke both his run hitches. You
25:58
Speaker 1: get to the goal one, you turn round, you box
26:01
Speaker 1: these guys out. Demo's working the back of the end zone.
26:04
Speaker 1: What's so hard about this to cover for a defense
26:06
Speaker 1: is Okay, you have the back of the end zone,
26:08
Speaker 1: you play, you use that as a defender. But because
26:11
Speaker 1: locket in DK settled down across the goal line, that
26:15
Speaker 1: brings everybody up. Everyone's paying attention to sixteen and fourteen,
26:19
Speaker 1: which creates some space in the back of the end zone.
26:22
Speaker 1: You hear ray Will talk about Russell had someone on
26:25
Speaker 1: his foot he says, get off me, shakes them off,
26:28
Speaker 1: throws a dark dk catches his number six touchdown of
26:32
Speaker 1: the year. That's all he does is make plays. Yeah, No,
26:34
Speaker 1: Demo Swag is just that's what we love about him
26:37
Speaker 1: because when he touched the football, if he's being targeted,
26:39
Speaker 1: he usually comes down with it. The thing I love
26:41
Speaker 1: about this play is so Damian Lewis kind of gets
26:45
Speaker 1: bull rushed and unfortunately played such a good game on Sunday,
26:49
Speaker 1: and this particular play he lost the battle. He lost
26:52
Speaker 1: the battle. He gets run over a little bit on
26:54
Speaker 1: his way to the ground. The thing I want to
26:56
Speaker 1: highlight here is Russell Wilson his ability to not drop
27:00
Speaker 1: his eyes at no point, even though there's a big
27:03
Speaker 1: three hundred pound defensive lineman right at his feet, near
27:06
Speaker 1: his ankle, his knees, all that stuff, doesn't drop his
27:09
Speaker 1: eyes whatsoever, steps out of it, still find Zemo in
27:12
Speaker 1: the back of the end zone in the concentration from
27:13
Speaker 1: number three. It's really underrated because most people that bring
27:16
Speaker 1: their eyes down off the receiver where things get lost.
27:20
Speaker 1: But not Russell Wilson man. He just continues to make plays,
27:23
Speaker 1: find Zemo Swag and it's good when everyone's getting involved.
27:26
Speaker 1: Everybody's eating love it. We saw from the offense on Sunday,
27:29
Speaker 1: love it. Forty points. Can't complain with that greatest formation
27:33
Speaker 1: in football, nas, what is it? Here comes the Seahawk
27:37
Speaker 1: offense onto the field and the Vikings defense crunching out
27:41
Speaker 1: there knowing that one kneel down and the Seahawks are
27:46
Speaker 1: gonna wind the clock down and win this one. It's
27:49
Speaker 1: the victory formation on Hawk Talk. Vict re formation. Gotta
27:53
Speaker 1: love it taking those knees to finish the game. Seahawks.
27:56
Speaker 1: Here's what happened on Sunday, Man, it's all about this.
27:58
Speaker 1: They beat the Jets like they were supposed to. Nothing fancy.
28:02
Speaker 1: They beat a team they were supposed to beat and
28:03
Speaker 1: beat him the way they were supposed to beat him.
28:06
Speaker 1: The Jets are one twelve, we understand that. So no
28:09
Speaker 1: one's over your hanging banners happy that to beat the Jets.
28:11
Speaker 1: But the Jets were who we thought they were. Shot
28:15
Speaker 1: out Dennis Green RP. But they are who they thought
28:19
Speaker 1: they were, and they beat him the way they're supposed
28:21
Speaker 1: to beat him. So it's refreshing that they came out
28:22
Speaker 1: and just executed the game plan style points I needed
28:25
Speaker 1: some style points. Man, they finally gave us some forward
28:28
Speaker 1: and three. I'll take that all day to me. In
28:30
Speaker 1: the past game, it was all about the quick game man, hitches, out, slants,
28:34
Speaker 1: short stuff. I love the screens. We saw maybe three
28:37
Speaker 1: or four screens. Now. They might not have been executed
28:39
Speaker 1: the way we'd like to see them, but the fact
28:41
Speaker 1: that they're running them just put pressure on that defense.
28:44
Speaker 1: I like the way that they were mixing it up.
28:46
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson back to his old self. If he threw
28:49
Speaker 1: four touchdowns a one pick a game, I wouldn't be
28:51
Speaker 1: mad at all. I'll take a pick. That just means
28:53
Speaker 1: you're taking a shot to number four team. Russell seems
28:56
Speaker 1: to be getting back to who he was early in
28:58
Speaker 1: the season, no question about it. Russell balling out and
29:00
Speaker 1: Jamal Adams Man huge week. Knew he was playing his
29:03
Speaker 1: former team, so much negativity coming from the New York
29:05
Speaker 1: media and everyone out there questioning his leadership, questioning his
29:10
Speaker 1: essentially who he is as a man, and he talked
29:12
Speaker 1: about it. He's really candid about things he dealt with
29:15
Speaker 1: in New York and for him to come out ball out,
29:17
Speaker 1: focus on the game at hand, didn't say anything negative
29:21
Speaker 1: about you know, Adam Gaves or anyone in the Jets organization.
29:24
Speaker 1: Still his friends over there. But for him to come
29:26
Speaker 1: out break the sack record for defensive back still got
29:29
Speaker 1: three games to play. It was good to see him
29:30
Speaker 1: come out there, show what he can do, prove why
29:33
Speaker 1: we gave up some first round picks for him because
29:35
Speaker 1: he's a big part of this defense. Give us the energy.
29:37
Speaker 1: So Jamal Adams, big up to Jamal got the game
29:39
Speaker 1: ball ticket home record breaker. Jamal Adams got it done.
