1:03
Speaker 4: to be this week because we got to get over
1:04
Speaker 4: what happening. It's Buffalo, it's been flushed, It's Thursday. Talked
1:07
Speaker 4: about it. I had to hash it up by myself, solo. Man,
1:10
Speaker 4: I'm sorry, you good.
1:12
Speaker 2: I know it's true. Bump didn't just flake on me.
1:14
Speaker 2: But you know I still do it by myself. And
1:16
Speaker 2: I had to suffered through that, and so did everybody else.
1:18
Speaker 2: But Bump is back. We're getting ready to break down
1:21
Speaker 2: these division rival Los Angeles Rams.
1:23
Speaker 3: What's on tap?
1:27
Speaker 1: What's on tap?
1:29
Speaker 2: But Los Angeles Rams three and four last place in
1:33
Speaker 2: the NFC West, but they really more like a half
1:36
Speaker 2: game out.
1:36
Speaker 4: It's not even really last place. They just chilling right now,
1:39
Speaker 4: you know the chilling. They send one less game than
1:41
Speaker 4: the rest of us.
1:42
Speaker 2: They did lose a tough one of the Detroit Lions,
1:44
Speaker 2: which you know is a good team. They got beat
1:46
Speaker 2: down by the Cardinals forty one to ten. That's the
1:48
Speaker 2: one that's interesting on the schedule. They beat the forty
1:51
Speaker 2: nine Ers. Another interesting one lost to the Bears, lost
1:54
Speaker 2: to the Packers two game winning streak, beating the Raiders
1:57
Speaker 2: and the Titans as of late bump, and we've played
1:59
Speaker 2: the game and we've fallen for the Rams trapped before,
2:02
Speaker 2: not doing it.
2:03
Speaker 5: This time, not at all. Respect him.
2:05
Speaker 2: Last year the Rams, where I believe, were three and
2:07
Speaker 2: six before they played the Seahawks down in LA.
2:10
Speaker 3: And JB.
2:11
Speaker 2: Long, who's the voice of the Rams, their play by
2:13
Speaker 2: play guy. He does a great job, joins our pre
2:15
Speaker 2: and post game show every year or every game we
2:17
Speaker 2: play him and he wrote an article that week about
2:19
Speaker 2: how the Rams still had a shot to get to
2:23
Speaker 2: the playoffs.
2:23
Speaker 5: It was crazy we.
2:24
Speaker 2: Read that, where like, come on, man, he like his
2:26
Speaker 2: first lines are like, I understand if you're not into
2:28
Speaker 2: all this like optimism or whatever, but here's the real path.
2:31
Speaker 3: And we laughed.
2:32
Speaker 5: We did laugh at him.
2:33
Speaker 4: And I called a game with him, the Washington State
2:36
Speaker 4: Santos a stay game this year, and I reminded him,
2:39
Speaker 4: I go, we laughed at you, JB. And you were right.
2:42
Speaker 4: So I've learned my lesson. I will not sleep on
2:44
Speaker 4: any opponent. Well I don't, but I slept on their record.
2:47
Speaker 4: Their record made me think there was no chance. But man,
2:50
Speaker 4: you got to you gotta play every.
2:51
Speaker 2: Game anyone you know, any team coached by Sean McVay.
2:54
Speaker 2: Things are gonna happen. They're always going to be in it.
2:56
Speaker 2: And what did you see from the game against the
2:58
Speaker 2: Vikings last week? I saw an offense that was back.
3:02
Speaker 2: I saw on offense. I was ready to go the Rams.
3:04
Speaker 4: They got a big lift all right heading into the
3:06
Speaker 4: game because Cooper Cup and Pooking the cool They were back,
3:09
Speaker 4: all right. They're both playing in their first game since
3:12
Speaker 4: Week one, which is crazy week one, and they still
3:14
Speaker 4: got to win against the Niners in week three. They
3:16
Speaker 4: did it without those two, right, which was impressive. Now,
3:19
Speaker 4: the game started off with a game. The first four
3:20
Speaker 4: possessions of the game ended in the passing touchdowns for
3:23
Speaker 4: both teams. Each drive will go at least eight plays
3:26
Speaker 4: in exactly seventy yards.
3:28
Speaker 5: The last one of those touchdowns was when.
3:30
Speaker 4: Matthew Stafford connected with Cooper Cup for the seven yard touchdown.
3:34
Speaker 5: Time to score at fourteen a piece.
3:36
Speaker 4: After halftime, the Vikings would have to settle four field goals,
3:39
Speaker 4: while the Rams scored back to back touchdowns, both to
3:41
Speaker 4: DeMarcus Robinson that made the score twenty eight to twenty
3:44
Speaker 4: with six minutes left in the game.
3:46
Speaker 5: That offense looks good on film right now.
3:49
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're they're they're scary good man.
3:51
Speaker 2: I mean, when you add two of the game's best players, yeah,
3:54
Speaker 2: Cooper cup and Nicole.
3:55
Speaker 4: Robson, we already called it, Cooper Cooper, one of the
3:58
Speaker 4: game's best.
3:59
Speaker 5: Were ready for that?
4:00
Speaker 2: No, no, no, no, I mean, like in a snapshot of
4:02
Speaker 2: like right now. Obviously he's been hurt, but when healthy,
4:05
Speaker 2: I could say he's in the conversations, become a triple
4:08
Speaker 2: Crown guy out of nowhere.
4:09
Speaker 5: Yeah, you don't.
4:10
Speaker 4: I got to see it one more year though, but
4:11
Speaker 4: I respect it. You know, there's me underestimated game, my bad,
4:13
Speaker 4: he's you know, I like you, Cooper.
4:17
Speaker 2: But to finish out that game, bump both teams with
4:19
Speaker 2: pun On the next two drives, Vikings get the ball
4:21
Speaker 2: one forty six left down eight, Vikings are back up
4:24
Speaker 2: to their own five yard line, incomplete passed, and Seam
4:27
Speaker 2: Darnold gets sacked in the end zone for a safety
4:28
Speaker 2: which ended the game.
4:30
Speaker 3: Might have been one of the.
4:30
Speaker 4: Biggest misscalls I've ever heard, thinking that was A man's
4:34
Speaker 4: neck doesn't just turn like that by itself.
4:36
Speaker 3: His helmet almost went all the way around his head.
4:38
Speaker 5: Yeah.
4:39
Speaker 2: Now, they missed the call. That's not why they lost
4:41
Speaker 2: the game, but they did anyway. Matthew Stafford finished the
4:44
Speaker 2: day twenty five to thirty four, two seventy nine four touchdowns.
4:47
Speaker 2: He only had three coming into that game. Kyra Williams
4:50
Speaker 2: led all ball carriers twenty three carries ninety seven yards,
4:53
Speaker 2: and then Pooka Acua and his return seven receptions one
4:56
Speaker 2: hundred and six yards. Cooper Cup did his thing also
5:00
Speaker 2: reception fifty one yards in a touchdown. And yeah, man,
5:03
Speaker 2: so the Rams are kind of back yep bump when
5:06
Speaker 2: you look at the head to head what jumps out here?
5:08
Speaker 4: I did this last week and I looked at the
5:11
Speaker 4: numbers and I said, ah, the Bills, the numbers they're mid, right,
5:13
Speaker 4: you know, you look at the total offense, they were mid.
5:15
Speaker 4: I'm looking at the Rams there, twentieth overall total offense,
5:18
Speaker 4: they're twenty first overall total defense, twenty sixth rushing the ball,
5:22
Speaker 4: fourteenth pass, and twenty third when it comes to points score. Defensively,
5:26
Speaker 4: they are twenty third against the run, sixteenth against the pass,
5:29
Speaker 4: twenty second when it comes to points allowed. But they
5:32
Speaker 4: did most of this without Puka and Cooper Cup and
5:36
Speaker 4: Matthew Stafford is back in his zone. I'm watching the film.
5:38
Speaker 4: He's holding the safeties, he's going through his progressions. He
5:41
Speaker 4: looks good. For the Seahawks. They're ninth overall, twenty ninth
5:44
Speaker 4: running the ball, the best pass game in the NFL
5:47
Speaker 4: right now, thirteenth when it comes to scoring ports points defensively,
5:51
Speaker 4: twenty second overall defense, twenty ninth against the run, thirteenth
5:55
Speaker 4: against the pass, and nineteenth when it comes to points
5:58
Speaker 4: per game.
5:59
Speaker 5: These numbers meaning to me, they mean nothing to me.
6:01
Speaker 4: You know why, I'm not gonna do that no more
6:03
Speaker 4: because I also think that when the Hawks are running
6:07
Speaker 4: the ball, well, they are explosive.
6:08
Speaker 5: Ken Walker is one of the more explosive players in
6:10
Speaker 5: a game.
6:11
Speaker 4: So I'm gonna look at that twenty ninth and when
6:13
Speaker 4: it comes to running the football, and I'm gonna say,
6:15
Speaker 4: all right, I see it, I gotta respect it. But
6:17
Speaker 4: they have top ten ability if they get things going.
6:20
Speaker 4: And then as far as the rams, I've watched too
6:22
Speaker 4: much film to look at these numbers and say these
6:24
Speaker 4: are accurate.
6:24
Speaker 3: Yeah, man, fool me once. Shame on me, fool me
6:27
Speaker 3: you know twice. Can't can't get.
6:28
Speaker 5: Full of can't get full of gives.
6:29
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying, not gonna have it not here.
6:31
Speaker 2: The Rams are a good football team, despite what some
6:33
Speaker 2: of the numbers say, and we know that. And let's
6:35
Speaker 2: be real, if you're a Seahawk fan and you've watched
6:38
Speaker 2: any of the games over the Rams over the last
6:40
Speaker 2: you know, fifteen years, it doesn't matter who's a roster,
6:43
Speaker 2: doesn't matter, who's coaching them, doesn't matter. They give the
6:46
Speaker 2: Seahawks problems and they're gonna be tough out. So let's
6:48
Speaker 2: look back at some of the history and know the history,
6:51
Speaker 2: no your history. Seahawks leave the all time series twenty
6:55
Speaker 2: seven or twenty six. Rams have the two to oo
6:57
Speaker 2: edge in the playoffs. Seahawks are two and two in
7:00
Speaker 2: their last four matchups and last year Bump, we alluded
7:02
Speaker 2: to this game already. Seahawks fell seventeen to sixteen down
7:06
Speaker 2: there in California, and that game is when you can
7:09
Speaker 2: circle that cost the Seahawks the playoffs last season. A
7:12
Speaker 2: lot of things changed after that, but that was the
7:14
Speaker 2: game the Seahawks definitely could have had jumped out through
7:16
Speaker 2: thirteen to nothing lead. We're still up sixteen to seven
7:19
Speaker 2: heading into the fourth quarter. Gino, if you remember, missed
7:21
Speaker 2: some time in that game. He hit Aaron donalds Helmot
7:24
Speaker 2: had to come out. I think he messed up tweaked
7:25
Speaker 2: his elbow. They would come back, make it a sixteen
7:29
Speaker 2: to fourteen game. Drew Locks through an interception while Gina
7:32
Speaker 2: was out. The Rams would then go on another field
7:35
Speaker 2: goal drive fourteen play, seventy five yards to kick the
7:37
Speaker 2: go ahead field goal. They were out seventeen sixteen. Seahawks
7:39
Speaker 2: had the ball back again, thinking it was gonna be
7:41
Speaker 2: one of those drives when Gino Smith does his magic,
7:44
Speaker 2: had a huge completion of DK. You thought they were
7:46
Speaker 2: gonna get there. Things kind of got discombobulated towards the
7:48
Speaker 2: end of the drive. Had to settle for a fifty
7:50
Speaker 2: five yard attempt by Jason Myers, which is in his
7:53
Speaker 2: range he's made. We saw him make a fifty nine
7:55
Speaker 2: yard earlier this year. Unfortunately that one was way off.
7:58
Speaker 2: They didn't make it. Seahawks lose the game, and it
8:01
Speaker 2: was a tough one. The Rams swept the season series
8:03
Speaker 2: last year, which I don't think anyone saw coming. The
8:05
Speaker 2: Seahawks swept them the season before, but you know it
8:08
Speaker 2: seth Man I think the Rams. They're a pesky bunch,
8:10
Speaker 2: they're well coached, and this is the game the Seahawks
8:13
Speaker 2: got to have. So hopefully the history will change around
8:16
Speaker 2: a little bit this weekend as we get ready for
8:17
Speaker 2: the Rams.
8:18
Speaker 3: But let's take a look around the NFC West.
8:20
Speaker 2: What's the word and the Seahawks or the NFC West champs?
8:28
Speaker 3: Again, what's the word in the West? On hot Talk?
8:33
Speaker 4: The NFC West is a weird place right now. There's
8:37
Speaker 4: a log gem, all right. You got the Cardinals form four,
8:40
Speaker 4: Niners forum four, Hawks form four, and the Rams are
8:43
Speaker 4: three and four. If the playoffs were to start today,
8:46
Speaker 4: the Cardinals would be in first place because I had
8:49
Speaker 4: to head win percentage over San Francisco and Seattle.
8:52
Speaker 5: That's crazy.
8:53
Speaker 4: At one point I was already just not even worried
8:56
Speaker 4: about the Cardinals.
8:56
Speaker 5: But they find a way to stay in the fight.
8:58
Speaker 4: So but the division is But I know it feels
9:01
Speaker 4: weird for the Hawks because they're not playing their best football,
9:04
Speaker 4: but they are still in the fight, tied up at
9:07
Speaker 4: first place.
9:07
Speaker 5: All right. Last week we had the car the Cowboys
9:10
Speaker 5: at the forty nine ers.
9:10
Speaker 4: Remember watching this game, This game had was gonna tell
9:13
Speaker 4: us a lot about what was going on, all right,
9:15
Speaker 4: But it was much anticipated game between the two teams
9:18
Speaker 4: and they both really needed to win. And the game
9:21
Speaker 4: itself did not disappoint. It was full of momental swing
9:24
Speaker 4: from both ends. The Cowboys jumped to a ten to
9:26
Speaker 4: six lead at halftime after the forty nine ers offensive struggles.
9:30
Speaker 4: It was tough got to settle for two field goals,
9:32
Speaker 4: they punted twice and turned the ball over on downs.
9:34
Speaker 4: In the second half, all changed as brock Perty led
9:38
Speaker 4: three straight touchdown drives. He had a four yard touchdown
9:41
Speaker 4: at Isaac Rindo, the running back who sealed the game
9:45
Speaker 4: for the Niners here at two yard touchdown to George Kittle,
9:48
Speaker 4: a two yard run by Party himself that made the
9:50
Speaker 4: score twenty seven to ten heading into the fourth quarter.
9:53
Speaker 4: But just when you thought the Cowboys were finished. They
9:55
Speaker 4: always played well from behind. They're not a team that's
9:57
Speaker 4: gonna jump out on you, right, but you thought they
9:59
Speaker 4: were finished, they got quick score from Ceede Lamb, held
10:01
Speaker 4: the Niners to a field goal, then marched down the
10:03
Speaker 4: field in fifty three seconds, and Dak Prescott found Ceedee
10:06
Speaker 4: Lamb again for another touchdown, making it a one score game.
10:10
Speaker 4: With three minutes left, it's thirty to twenty four. The
10:13
Speaker 4: Cowboys defense will get a stop and get the ball
10:15
Speaker 4: back with just twenty seven seconds left, but the forty
10:18
Speaker 4: nine defense would hold on, forcing a turnover on down
10:21
Speaker 4: and on downs and ceiling.
10:22
Speaker 5: The football game.
10:23
Speaker 4: Rock Purdy finished a day eighteen to twenty six, two
10:26
Speaker 4: sixty and one touchdown. The George Kittle went off six receptions,
10:29
Speaker 4: one hundred and twenty eight yards one touchdown. Gorendo had
10:32
Speaker 4: eighty five yards and a touchdown on fourteen carries for
10:35
Speaker 4: the Cowboys. Dack was twenty five to thirty eight two
10:37
Speaker 4: forty three, two touchdowns, two interceptions. Ceedee Lamb thirteen receptions,
10:41
Speaker 4: one hundred and forty six yards and two touchdowns. The
10:44
Speaker 4: Niners are off this week. They traveled to Tampa after
10:47
Speaker 4: their vibe that.
10:48
Speaker 5: Was that was a big win. That was a big win.
10:50
Speaker 4: If the Cowboys won that game, I think Jerry feels
10:52
Speaker 4: a bit better about the situation and you start to
10:54
Speaker 4: build momentum the Niners man getting her done.
10:58
Speaker 3: Yeah, No, it was. It was a game.
11:00
Speaker 2: Unfortunately, both teams couldn't lose. One had to win that one. Obviously,
11:03
Speaker 2: I was rooting for who are you rooting for? Well, no,
11:07
Speaker 2: rooting is an interesting word. I was hoping for. I
11:10
Speaker 2: was rooting for the forty nine ers to lose.
11:12
Speaker 3: How about that?
11:12
Speaker 2: Yeah, that didn't happen. I'm they're a good football team.
11:15
Speaker 2: That was a tough game that both teams really needed.
11:16
Speaker 2: And now the Seahawks obviously aren't looking over the Rams,
11:19
Speaker 2: but they have the forty nine ers after the bye,
11:21
Speaker 2: so it'll be interesting to watch. You know, it's nice
11:23
Speaker 2: if the Seahawks get the forty nine ers after being rested,
11:26
Speaker 2: and they're gonna play the Tampa next week, so we'll
11:28
Speaker 2: keep it posted a see what happen there. We're definitely
11:30
Speaker 2: a big win for the Niners. Elsewhere in the division,
11:33
Speaker 2: the Cardinals took on the Dolphins, and look at these Cardinals.
11:36
Speaker 3: You mentioned it, they've won three or four games.
11:38
Speaker 2: Man, after beating the Dolphins, kind of spoiling to a
11:40
Speaker 2: tongue of I Lowa's return.
11:42
Speaker 5: Hey big up to it?
11:42
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, man, he ran the ball and he slid
11:46
Speaker 4: my man, oh and got up it pointed too talking
11:49
Speaker 4: that to let.
11:50
Speaker 2: Me tell you something, Man, I don't know what indie
11:52
Speaker 2: period is like now in Miami.
11:55
Speaker 3: But that's all I'd be doing.
11:56
Speaker 2: I'm sliding, I'd be getting down all different kinds of scenarios.
12:01
Speaker 3: Yeah, we just working on the slide.
12:02
Speaker 2: But no big ups to two because they they finally
12:04
Speaker 2: kind of looked like a glimmer of what the Dolphins
12:07
Speaker 2: were expected to be this year with him a quarterback.
12:09
Speaker 2: Murray had a good game, let two scoring drives in
12:11
Speaker 2: the fourth quarter to rolly the Cardinals from a nine
12:13
Speaker 2: point deficit, and you know, they've won consecutive games for
12:17
Speaker 2: the first time since twenty twenty one.
12:19
Speaker 5: I saw that. That's crazy.
12:21
Speaker 3: That's wild.
12:21
Speaker 2: And had a pair of one hundred yard receivers for
12:23
Speaker 2: the first time since twenty twenty one, which was Aj
12:25
Speaker 2: Green and Christian Kirk. Marvin Harrison had a nice game
12:28
Speaker 2: one hundred eleven yards and a touchdown on six catches,
12:30
Speaker 2: and then Trey McBride let the Cardinals with nine catches
12:33
Speaker 2: one hundred twenty four yards. Murray finished today twenty six
12:36
Speaker 2: of thirty six, three oh seven, two touchdowns. By Loach,
12:40
Speaker 2: I mentioned Tua went twenty eight, not for twenty eight,
12:43
Speaker 2: that's the typo. He did have two hundred and thirty
12:45
Speaker 2: four yards and a touchdown. Cardinals man in first place.
12:48
Speaker 5: What is that Cardinals?
12:50
Speaker 4: You know, if they weren't in our division, i'd be
12:52
Speaker 4: happy for him, but unfortunately they are in our division.
12:55
Speaker 4: I can't be happy for him because there's been so
12:58
Speaker 4: much going on with the Cardinals the past couple of years.
13:00
Speaker 4: You know, Call of Duty six dropped the other day
13:01
Speaker 4: and I was worried for Kyler Murray. Oh no, you know,
13:04
Speaker 4: I'm taking it back to contract. I was worried for Coylin, like,
13:07
Speaker 4: don't focus enough. But Marvin Harrison we knew coming out
13:09
Speaker 4: of the draft he was the best receiver, the most polished,
13:12
Speaker 4: ready to go. And then McBride the young man. I
13:14
Speaker 4: believe it's a Colorado state. Believe good tight end man.
13:17
Speaker 4: Tighten games have been stepping up as of late. I
13:19
Speaker 4: just mentioned Brock Bauers is having a sneaky season for
13:21
Speaker 4: the Raiders that no one's talking about. But tighten game
13:23
Speaker 4: has been stepping up. Cardinals are real. Can't sleep on them.
13:27
Speaker 2: Yeah, and they're They're the team that will do that
13:29
Speaker 2: and get your hopes up feeling good about them, and
13:31
Speaker 2: then they'll drop a game. So the Cardinals are definitely
13:33
Speaker 2: a team to watch for. The Seahawks are getting ready
13:35
Speaker 2: to play them in a couple of weeks, so we
13:36
Speaker 2: will check in and see their reminder of broadcasting live
13:39
Speaker 2: from the Seahawks Podcast Studio presented by Sony, the official
13:42
Speaker 2: partner of the Seattle Seahawks. Let's get back into those
13:44
Speaker 2: Los Angeles lams. Man Up, Man up.
13:55
Speaker 1: On Hawk Talk.
13:57
Speaker 3: We usually start with the quarterbacks bump. Today is gonna
13:59
Speaker 3: be no different.
14:00
Speaker 2: We're looking at Matthew Stafford in this Seahawks defense. The
14:03
Speaker 2: Seahawks continue their streak of facing pretty good quarterbacks. This
14:06
Speaker 2: time is Matthew Stafford coming into town. Stafford's a guy,
14:10
Speaker 2: been around the block.
14:11
Speaker 3: Yeah, we know that.
14:11
Speaker 2: We've kind of talked about this a little bit on
14:13
Speaker 2: the on the program. Stafford has some pretty damn good
14:16
Speaker 2: career numbers. The tenth in NFL history the entire history
14:20
Speaker 2: of the league when it comes to passing yards fifty
14:22
Speaker 2: seven seven and eighteen three hundred and sixty four touchdown passes.
14:27
Speaker 2: He needs three passing touchdowns to pass el Eli Manning
14:30
Speaker 2: for tenth most in NFL history.
14:33
Speaker 3: Only made it to two Pro Bowls.
14:34
Speaker 5: That's crazy.
14:35
Speaker 2: I mean, you're in You're in Detroit for a long time.
14:38
Speaker 2: Still put up numbers that did he did. But yeah,
14:41
Speaker 2: I was shocked by seeing that. I figured to be
14:43
Speaker 2: still six or seven or something like that. And this
14:45
Speaker 2: year his numbers are down a little bit. But you
14:47
Speaker 2: talked about it. Why is that when you have two
14:49
Speaker 2: of your best weapons out Cup in Nakua, things are
14:51
Speaker 2: not going to go your way. He did his best
14:52
Speaker 2: to kind of stick in there. It just wasn't really working.
14:55
Speaker 2: But now you know, after last week he's back on
14:57
Speaker 2: twenty five to thirty four two seventy nine touchdowns. And
15:01
Speaker 2: here's a crazy thing. But according to next Gen stats
15:04
Speaker 2: here NFL faster, Stafford didn't throw a single incompletion to
15:08
Speaker 2: the right side of the field, finishing eight for eight
15:10
Speaker 2: with ninety four yards in two touchdowns. When targeting Cooper
15:13
Speaker 2: Cup and Nikola, Stafford was twelve to seventeen one hundred
15:16
Speaker 2: and fifty seven yards in one touchdown with one hundred
15:18
Speaker 2: and nineteen passer rating.
15:21
Speaker 4: My man was efficient. I gotta confess. I used the
15:24
Speaker 4: stat on our show today. I saw I opened up
15:27
Speaker 4: the email, I looked at the sheet. I go, that
15:29
Speaker 4: is a stat I need to use because there was
15:31
Speaker 4: a great stat. Man he's efficient when he's throwing to
15:34
Speaker 4: his dues. Whenever a man is in the NFL and
15:37
Speaker 4: he has grays and his beard, you know he's around.
15:39
Speaker 5: Four reasons.
15:40
Speaker 4: You don't just have grazing a beard in the NFL
15:42
Speaker 4: and be Okay. The NFL gets ridd of guys real quick.
15:45
Speaker 4: And he's been hanging around. He's having a good season. Well,
15:48
Speaker 4: he's starting to have a good season because he's got
15:51
Speaker 4: his guys back.
15:52
Speaker 5: He's in rhythm. I watched film.
15:53
Speaker 4: That's the first thing I thought about when I watched film,
15:55
Speaker 4: and how he's moving. He's in rhythm. He has guys
15:58
Speaker 4: he can trust over there. Let's talk about it. Our quarterback,
16:00
Speaker 4: Gino Gino, after having one of his better games of
16:03
Speaker 4: the season against the Falcons.
16:06
Speaker 5: He worked well under pressure.
16:07
Speaker 4: I think going into that game he was a third
16:08
Speaker 4: most pressured quarterback in the NFL. But he had an
16:12
Speaker 4: ok They finished twenty one to twenty nine, two twelve,
16:14
Speaker 4: zero touchdowns in one interception. He also let the team
16:17
Speaker 4: in rushing, which is not good. And if you're going
16:19
Speaker 4: to lead the team in Russian, let's have more than
16:21
Speaker 4: sixteen yards. Okay, sixteen yards. He led the team in Russian.
16:24
Speaker 4: But on the plus side, he still has led the
16:26
Speaker 4: Seahawks to the number one passing game in the NFL
16:29
Speaker 4: through eight weeks, number one and passing yards six when
16:32
Speaker 4: it comes to completion percentage, first in completions, first in attempts.
16:36
Speaker 4: He faced a defense who's getting healthier on defense too.
16:39
Speaker 4: I believe they got a cornerback this week. They're twenty
16:41
Speaker 4: first in total defense. I'm talking about the Rams sixteenth
16:44
Speaker 4: against the pass, twenty second points per game, twenty eighth,
16:47
Speaker 4: and when it comes to sacks. So there's opportunity there.
16:52
Speaker 4: And we know how this this offense has to go.
16:54
Speaker 4: You gotta run the football. But if Gino does not
16:56
Speaker 4: have a Geno type of day, I'm talking like seventy
16:58
Speaker 4: percent completion, two hundred fifty two touchdowns and maybe throw
17:01
Speaker 4: an interception, things happen and they'll be in the mix.
17:04
Speaker 2: Yeah, and we talked about a little bit before we
17:06
Speaker 2: got going bump. You know, typically i'd be like Aaron
17:10
Speaker 2: Donald versus our body. That's somebody I lock in. Thank
17:13
Speaker 2: god he's retired. Hey go love it. No more nightmares.
17:16
Speaker 2: You're thinking you're cool, No, hold on a minute, because
17:18
Speaker 2: these guys get after him still. Ricky ed Rusher, Jared
17:21
Speaker 2: Verse done a great job getting after the quarterback. He's
17:23
Speaker 2: the second highest. He has the second highest pressure percentage
17:26
Speaker 2: across the NFL. In eight weeks of the season, he
17:29
Speaker 2: ranks inside the top ten quarterback hits and tackles for
17:32
Speaker 2: lost across the NFL. Thirty two pressures rank eleven across
17:35
Speaker 2: the NFL, and the nineteen hurries have him tied for nineteenth.
17:37
Speaker 3: So they get after the quarterback. They also got Fisk.
17:39
Speaker 4: In there doing his thing, fist, Kobe Turner, Bobby Brown.
17:42
Speaker 4: No one on that defensive line has more than two
17:45
Speaker 4: years experience in the NFL. They are young, and they
17:48
Speaker 4: are red to go. And the thing is ignore the
17:51
Speaker 4: sack number. So that's misleading.
17:53
Speaker 2: You say, oh, they've only sacked fourteen times, but they're
17:55
Speaker 2: affecting the quarterback and it's gonna be tough. The offensive
17:58
Speaker 2: line is definitely gonna need to bring it stay on
18:01
Speaker 2: the rams side of the ball. Offensively, We're gonna go
18:03
Speaker 2: to Kyron Williams Man Kiren's had really just kind of
18:07
Speaker 2: become a force for them. Right fifth round pick in
18:09
Speaker 2: twenty twenty two, didn't do a lot of rookie season,
18:11
Speaker 2: you know, they said cam Akers, Darryl Henderson all that
18:14
Speaker 2: going on, taking up a majority of carries, only had
18:16
Speaker 2: one hundred and thirty nine yards and twenty two since
18:18
Speaker 2: then became the lead back.
18:20
Speaker 4: Last they got rid of him for a reason. Absolutely,
18:22
Speaker 4: what is this young man could do?
18:24
Speaker 2: He had one thousand, one hundred and forty four yards
18:26
Speaker 2: on two hundred and twenty eight carries, twelve touchdowns or
18:29
Speaker 2: twelve games. Last year he got his first Pro Bowl
18:31
Speaker 2: nod and he's just kind of continued that this year.
18:34
Speaker 2: Before last weekends the Vikings, he had nine consecutive games
18:36
Speaker 2: with a rushing touchdown. He's second currently in the NFL
18:39
Speaker 2: with eight rushing touchdowns, only behind Derrick Henry. He does, however,
18:42
Speaker 2: have ten straight games with a touchdown rushing and receiving,
18:45
Speaker 2: which is the longest streak in the National Football League.
18:48
Speaker 2: On the year, five hundred and thirty three yards, eight touchdowns,
18:51
Speaker 2: one hundred and thirty nine carries. Also got nineteen receptions
18:53
Speaker 2: for ninety yards and two touchdowns. The Seahawks thrown in
18:57
Speaker 2: their side has been run defense.
18:58
Speaker 5: Yep.
18:59
Speaker 2: They've given up for one hundred and fifty yards in
19:01
Speaker 2: each of the past four games. Something you want to
19:03
Speaker 2: see change, but you know this game bump. The numbers
19:08
Speaker 2: look bad, but that doesn't mean you're that far off.
19:11
Speaker 2: The problem is it's it's being consistent across the board,
19:14
Speaker 2: right you guys in a defense.
19:16
Speaker 3: Dotson moves over to will Ernest Jones.
19:18
Speaker 2: Was here, had a practice in a half essentially and
19:21
Speaker 2: on a Wednesday night, started on Sunday essentially, had one
19:24
Speaker 2: padded practice, played one hundred percent of the snaps.
19:27
Speaker 3: That's hard. So it's gonna be a little bit of
19:28
Speaker 3: a j justment period.
19:29
Speaker 2: But if the Seahawks win this game, it's going to
19:31
Speaker 2: start by at least slowing down the run game because
19:33
Speaker 2: he can't give up another one hundred and fifty yard
19:35
Speaker 2: plus game.
19:36
Speaker 5: And do for Ernest Man, he's playing his old team.
19:38
Speaker 3: Do it. Do it, dude, get him Earnest baby, come on.
19:41
Speaker 5: Let's get it all right.
19:42
Speaker 4: Next one, Cooper Cup and puking a cool We mentioned
19:44
Speaker 4: they are back, man, they got two of the best.
19:46
Speaker 4: I'm gonna say it. I was hating at the beginning
19:48
Speaker 4: of the podcast. Okay, I'm going to say Pook is
19:51
Speaker 4: one of the best in the game. Okay, you don't
19:52
Speaker 4: just throw fourteen hundred yards up there for nothing. Both
19:56
Speaker 4: players that haven't been in the lineup since Week one
19:58
Speaker 4: when Cooper Cup is healthy. As you guys, I know
20:00
Speaker 4: he's one of the best in the game. He's a
20:01
Speaker 4: local dude, Davis High School, went to Eastern Washington and
20:04
Speaker 4: he beat my koogs when he was at Eastern Washington.
20:07
Speaker 3: Yeah, he put up a lot of numbers on my
20:09
Speaker 3: dog too, though.
20:10
Speaker 4: He was all right, I saw my by myself perfect
20:12
Speaker 4: all right. As we know, man. He had one of
20:14
Speaker 4: the best seasons ever for a wide receiver in twenty
20:16
Speaker 4: twenty one when the Rams won the Super Bowl. He
20:18
Speaker 4: had one hundred and forty five receptions, nineteen hundred yards
20:22
Speaker 4: and sixteen touchdowns. He led the league in all those
20:25
Speaker 4: categories gave, which gave him the Triple CRAM that led
20:28
Speaker 4: to being a first team All Pro guy in top
20:32
Speaker 4: five in MVP voting. If there were every year a
20:35
Speaker 4: receiver could get the MVP, it was that year. I'm
20:38
Speaker 4: convinced a receiver will never get the MVP. You gotta
20:40
Speaker 4: go for like twenty two hundred yards and twenty touchdowns
20:43
Speaker 4: because they're going to give it to a quarterback or
20:44
Speaker 4: a running back.
20:45
Speaker 5: That was his chance to get it. I was disappointed
20:48
Speaker 5: for him.
20:49
Speaker 2: He's a dog man, but he hasn't been healthy very
20:52
Speaker 2: much Bump twenty four. He's only played in twenty four
20:54
Speaker 2: last forty one games. But when he's out there to
20:57
Speaker 2: prid of Davis High School. You remember back in day,
21:00
Speaker 2: for those who you know, pay attention to Cooper Cup,
21:03
Speaker 2: he was a pretty good basketball player.
21:04
Speaker 4: You sit me that that thing on, I g yeah,
21:07
Speaker 4: Ja Zack Levine locked him up.
21:09
Speaker 5: Both they whooped him to state championship.
21:13
Speaker 3: Don't sleep on Eastern Washing though. For real. There's always
21:15
Speaker 3: one team in either hoops or football that can ball out.
21:18
Speaker 4: Yeah, and like we mentioned, they also have Pooka Nakua.
21:21
Speaker 4: Last year, he had the best rookie season that we've
21:25
Speaker 4: seen out of a receiver. Man, he he was impressive.
21:29
Speaker 4: He went to U dub right and then went to
21:31
Speaker 4: b YU, so we kind of I.
21:33
Speaker 5: Knew who he was.
21:33
Speaker 4: I believe you knew who he was as well, But
21:35
Speaker 4: when he hit the scene, it was it just looked different.
21:37
Speaker 5: Man.
21:38
Speaker 4: He had what he had the most working receptions the
21:41
Speaker 4: NFL season and then a rookie in NFL history. Uh,
21:45
Speaker 4: the record stood for sixty three years. Man, sixty three years.
21:48
Speaker 4: He came in and broke that he caught over eighty
21:50
Speaker 4: three percent of his targets on play action passes. So
21:55
Speaker 4: you know the run game is hot with the Rams.
21:57
Speaker 4: You know, Pooka's nice with the play action, Cooper's nice
22:00
Speaker 4: the play action.
22:00
Speaker 5: It's going to be tough.
22:01
Speaker 4: And he returned last week had seven receptions for one
22:03
Speaker 4: hundred and six yards.
22:05
Speaker 5: I like Puka's game.
22:06
Speaker 4: He's not a real precise type of runner when it
22:10
Speaker 4: comes to routes, but he just has a good feel
22:12
Speaker 4: for space. And in this McVeigh offense, you don't have
22:15
Speaker 4: to be really nice when it comes to route run him.
22:16
Speaker 5: You just get to where you're supposed to be.
22:18
Speaker 4: Let all that motion the stuff confuse the defense and
22:20
Speaker 4: you'll get some targets.
22:22
Speaker 2: Yeah, and he bursts on a scene against the Seahawks
22:24
Speaker 2: last year ten receptions, one hundred and nineteen yards, So.
22:27
Speaker 5: We know in Week one those Week one Week one, Yes,
22:29
Speaker 5: first NFL game.
22:30
Speaker 3: Dang. And the thing.
22:32
Speaker 2: The last thing I'll say about those two is they
22:33
Speaker 2: really impacted their RAMS offense when it comes to the
22:36
Speaker 2: red zone. They came into Thursday Night Football, I hadn't
22:38
Speaker 2: scored just eleven touchdowns to twenty three trips. They scored
22:41
Speaker 2: on all three of the red zone drives, and you
22:43
Speaker 2: can't tell me that those two didn't have something to
22:45
Speaker 2: do with it. A lot of different guys you have
22:46
Speaker 2: to defend there. So we'll see about that Seahawks in
22:50
Speaker 2: any big games. From Riek one, Devin Witherspoon, the rest
22:52
Speaker 2: of the secondary, hopefully Trey Brown gets back out there
22:55
Speaker 2: to help as well. And then looking into the Seahawks receivers, man,
22:58
Speaker 2: I'm really hoping the DK Metcalf is back in the
23:00
Speaker 2: football game, bump. I feel like his absence was definitely felt. Yeah,
23:03
Speaker 2: I'm not saying if DK was out here the Seahawks
23:05
Speaker 2: w win that game, because they just didn't play well
23:06
Speaker 2: enough to beat the Bills, obviously, but when there's a
23:10
Speaker 2: guy in NUMBH fourteen's on the football field, you pay attention.
23:13
Speaker 2: If I'm in the secondary, okay, who can run me
23:16
Speaker 2: over and run past that guy, I'm gonna have an
23:19
Speaker 2: idea of where he's at, and so I'm hoping JSN
23:22
Speaker 2: and Tyler can have some big games kind of bounce back.
23:25
Speaker 2: JSN had six catches sixty nine yards last week. But
23:28
Speaker 2: the thing was is no other receiver had more than
23:30
Speaker 2: one reception. Man so it's gonna be hard. Especially you
23:33
Speaker 2: talk about getting Gino in a rhythm and that passing game,
23:36
Speaker 2: that's not really it. There's a bounce, right, not enough
23:39
Speaker 2: last week, too much. Earlier in the season were throwing
23:41
Speaker 2: fifty times, So try to find that bounce. How do
23:43
Speaker 2: you find that bounce? You got to be on the
23:44
Speaker 2: football field. The Seahawks were one to seven on third
23:46
Speaker 2: down last week, so that was part of it. So
23:49
Speaker 2: I'm just hoping Jaysn. I'm waiting for him to kind
23:51
Speaker 2: of have that second breakout game. We saw it against
23:53
Speaker 2: the Patriots and since then he hadn't had a game
23:55
Speaker 2: over fifty yards until this past week. But I'm waiting
23:57
Speaker 2: to see him kind of again do his thing. But
24:00
Speaker 2: to do it, he's got to be on the field more.
24:02
Speaker 2: He's got targets, all that kind of stuff. So rams
24:04
Speaker 2: are middle of the pack against a pass along on
24:06
Speaker 2: two hund and twelve yards per game with seventeenth in
24:08
Speaker 2: the NFL, But you have five interceptions, so we're gonna
24:10
Speaker 2: have to wait and see man.
24:11
Speaker 4: Yeah, spread the ball around, spread the law, spread the wealth.
24:15
Speaker 5: DK's back.
24:15
Speaker 4: If he's back, he's gonna stress the field and open
24:18
Speaker 4: up the intermedia stuff.
24:19
Speaker 5: And that's where Jasn and Lock is shine man.
24:21
Speaker 4: That those those shallows, those deep crosses, they work together.
24:25
Speaker 5: So get it done.
24:27
Speaker 2: Need it bump, and the Seahawks need a victory.
24:30
Speaker 3: They need it in the worst way.
24:31
Speaker 2: We're broadcasting live from the Seahawks Podcast Studio presented by Sony,
24:35
Speaker 2: the official headphones partner of the Seattle Seahawks. We're gonna
24:37
Speaker 2: tell you, obviously, Gus can get this done.
24:39
Speaker 3: Path the victory.
24:42
Speaker 2: After forty five waits for the snaff, Michael Vickton puts
24:45
Speaker 2: it down.
24:46
Speaker 5: That kick is away.
24:47
Speaker 3: If that kick.
24:48
Speaker 4: Is gone, good day on Gwen bitch Gun.
24:52
Speaker 1: It's a path to victory on Hawk Talk.
24:54
Speaker 2: Coach McDonald has only been obviously a head coach in
24:57
Speaker 2: the NFL for eight weeks.
24:59
Speaker 3: This is week nine.
25:00
Speaker 2: But this is the biggest game in the coach McDonald's era.
25:03
Speaker 2: Second divisional game at home, and the Seahawks, you know,
25:06
Speaker 2: have lost in that or have lost four last five games,
25:09
Speaker 2: and every team of the Vision has four losses. This
25:11
Speaker 2: game will go a long way when it comes to
25:13
Speaker 2: tie breakers when happens with the division title. You could
25:16
Speaker 2: easily say what happened last year that those games against
25:18
Speaker 2: the Rams cost to Seaousa playoffs.
25:19
Speaker 3: We don't want that to be the case this year.
25:21
Speaker 3: So this game is huge.
25:22
Speaker 4: Yeah, they have to start fast. They've been struggling starting fast.
25:26
Speaker 4: I looked at some stats. I believe in the first
25:29
Speaker 4: half they're like twentieth when it comes to scoring in
25:31
Speaker 4: the first half. They figured some things out in the
25:33
Speaker 4: second half, typically in the third quarter. But you gotta
25:36
Speaker 4: star fast man, get this offense in rhythm, get Geno
25:39
Speaker 4: on rhythm, run the football.
25:41
Speaker 5: Play action that thing.
25:42
Speaker 4: You gotta do all of this and give him a
25:44
Speaker 4: clean pocket, no turnovers. And like we've been asking every
25:48
Speaker 4: single week, run the name ball. Thirty two yards will
25:51
Speaker 4: not get you done. Thirty yards on the grounds not
25:53
Speaker 4: good enough, especially with the talent you have back there.
25:54
Speaker 4: I can understand if you were banged up and you
25:56
Speaker 4: didn't have your dudes. You got your dudes back there,
25:59
Speaker 4: so you got to be able to do that.
26:01
Speaker 5: You need to.
26:02
Speaker 4: I want to see a hundred yard game out a
26:04
Speaker 4: K nine. I need to see that and defensively stop
26:06
Speaker 4: the run. Hey, every week, same thing. But you know what,
26:09
Speaker 4: Ernest is gonna get his second game, and I think
26:11
Speaker 4: he was He played good last week. Ernest is getting
26:13
Speaker 4: his second game. You got Harris, Who's who's getting into
26:16
Speaker 4: the mix as well. There is potential there that a
26:19
Speaker 4: buck fifty what last four games doesn't feel good, but
26:22
Speaker 4: there's talent out there.
26:23
Speaker 5: I think this could be the week.
26:25
Speaker 2: And it's about just putting together, man, And it's there's
26:28
Speaker 2: enough talent on that defense to get it done. We
26:30
Speaker 2: know that, and you just got to find a way
26:32
Speaker 2: to get done because this is what it is.
26:33
Speaker 3: Man.
26:35
Speaker 2: You lose this division game, you're in tough shape. So
26:37
Speaker 2: obviously I will never say I hate taking must win
26:39
Speaker 2: You can't. There's no must win games in week nine.
26:41
Speaker 2: But this is about as close as you can get
26:44
Speaker 2: to a feeling like a muscle, and it just set
26:45
Speaker 2: the tone in the division.
26:46
Speaker 3: Man. You want to own this division.
26:47
Speaker 2: You want to own the NFC wast He starts here
26:50
Speaker 2: and you know with Sean McVay you gotta keep rising
26:52
Speaker 2: in the right spot. This is going to be tricky defense.
26:54
Speaker 2: But defensively again, you talked about stopping the run, stop
26:56
Speaker 2: the big plays.
26:57
Speaker 3: Cup and Nakua are going to catch the football. Yep.
27:00
Speaker 2: You're not going to hold them receptionless, but they just
27:02
Speaker 2: can't go off again. So get after the quarterback. There
27:05
Speaker 2: tops in the league about allowing pressures for Matthew Stafford,
27:08
Speaker 2: but he needs to feel it. You need to get
27:10
Speaker 2: after him turnovers and this will be a good time
27:14
Speaker 2: to get that done this NFL season. Feel every play,
27:17
Speaker 2: every hit, every moment with the Sony one thousand x
27:21

27:24
Speaker 2: Seattle Seahawks. With premium noise cancelation, you're in the zone,
