• 1:05
  Speaker 3: two games in fun place and being able to listen
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: to Rabel and wind In do their thing as well.
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: Now it's been great, man. It was a fun ride
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: and nice seat. The dude celebrate Yeah, no, I mean everybody,
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: it's been earned. We've talked about all year.
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: All three phases of the game needed to play the
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: way they did to get over the Rams. The Rams
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: were a great team. Yeah, they are a great team,
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: and it was on display. But it was a great
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: game where he jump right into it. What had happened,
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: See what had happened was what had happened at first
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: was what had happened was on Hawk talk for me, Bobby,
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: I thought it was hard to top the atmosphere from
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: the divisional playoff game. It had been more than ten
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: years since the Seahawks hosted a playoff game with fans
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: and the Niner game was rocking. Obviously, Seahawks whoop up
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: on the Niners. But this this on Sunday, it was
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: an up a notch. I mean you said it. People
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: were in their seats early. And here's how we knew.
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: We host our pregame show in Ticketmaster tailgate. There was
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: a ton of people there. It was a daily good atmosphere.
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: And then about forty minutes before kicks, not even over,
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: usually people are hanging out, it was empty in the
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: event set, completely empty because sixty eight thousand plus sixty
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: nine thousand were in their seats ready to go for kickoff.
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: It was pretty awesome. So, yeah, the game Seahawks had
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: a tone right away. I heard you say it on
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: the show last night. This morning, they threw the first
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: punch as the Seahawks. They forced with three and a
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: half for the Rams on the first possession, which is huge,
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: and then they go on their own seven plays eighty
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: one yards and with two York touchdown for ken Walker
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: that made the score seven zero. That was set up
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: by a long pass fifty one yards to Rashi. Shihed
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: you've been calling for that all season long, and then
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: some tough runs by ken Walker, so they jumped out
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: seven to nothing.
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Cannin set the tone. Rashi went up top of it.
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: But the Rams will respond. They go six plays forty
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: seven yards, had to settle for a field goal, and
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: then the next two drives with ending field goals. With
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: the Seahawks taking a ten to six lead, the Hawks
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: will punt on the next drive and the Rams will
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: put together their best drive of the day, going twelve
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: plays eighty seven yards in with a nine yard touchdown
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: to Kainen Wins that made the score thirteen to ten.
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: The first time the Seahawks have trailed in the game
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: since Week sixteen against these Rams.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the Seahawks have been up.
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: The Rams are the only team to have really any
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: kind of success against this dark side defense. So the
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: Seahawks are down. Next two drives in the punts Seahawks,
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: though they get the ball back fifty four seconds. This
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: was a huge drive in the game. Seam Darnold finds
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: Jasn for a forty two yard game and found him
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: again fourteen yard touchdown. We'll break that down later, but
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: the Seahawks go into halftime up seventeen to thirteen. Huge
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: played again on not just get three to get seven
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: points before halftime, and every point mattered in this game.
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: Seehs got the ball in the third quarter coming out
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: the tunnel, but they had to punt Michael Dixon man
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: he kicked a moon ball in the returner Xavier Smith
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: fell down, dropped the ball, Toreeke Young recovered it.
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: He bobbled one earlier, right, so we were.
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: Kind of looking back there like all right, just kind
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: of shaking this pump return game and Young doing exactly
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: what's supposed to do. Special teams like you talking about
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: all three phases. Once again, special team comes up with
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: a big play. On the next play, Sam Donald will
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: find Jake Bubble seventeen yard touchdown. Great route by Jake
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: Bubble moving that safety that made it twenty four to thirteen.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: We'll have to see Jake Bubble getting involved.
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: He had a big catch against the Niners on a
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: third down which kept the drive going fresh on him
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: on the corovisional and we get a touchdown in that situation.
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: Is great, Bump. You were a returner though. I mean,
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: once you bobble the first one, is it hard to
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: battle back.
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: It's in your head, man. And it was his approach too,
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: Like you saw the back pedal. I could tell when
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: a return is uncomfortable. The arms get wide, the feet
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: get a little happy, like look at shithe when he
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: catches a pumper turn smooth as heck. But uh yeah,
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: I felt for that man in that moment because I
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: have dropped a punt in this league.
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: But no, for the Hawks, it was all gravy.
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: Oh boy, that just oh man, that tough moment for him,
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: But the Seahawks benefited after that though.
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: The Rams quickly answer. They would write down the field.
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: Bump answered quickly four plays Staffer find Devonte Adams for
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: two yard touchdown. A couple of big plays throughout that drive.
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: That made it twenty four to twenty. So you know
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: it's still a tight game. You're not feeling great at
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: the moment. The Hawks would answer again though, going nine
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: plays sixty five yards anyone, a thirteen yard touchdown, A
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: Cooper Cup going a third and three from the thirteen
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: yard line will break that down as well.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: That made the score thirty one to twenty. But that moment,
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: you're feeling pretty good.
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you're feeling great, man, And especially for Coop Cooper
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: Cup getting it against his old team, getting up field,
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: scoring that touchdown.
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: I was great.
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: On the falling drive, it looked like Red made the
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: game ceiling pass breakup over pooking a cool in great position.
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: I should have picked that thing off honestly, but unfortunately
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: he was called for Tomson Penley, which gave the Rams
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: an automatic first down. That blew my mind. I texted you,
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: I'm sitting here watching. I'm like, hold on, just don't
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: make sense. I'll sit here with Lofa. I'm like, all right.
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: That was after the play. It shouldn't affect the result.
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: It was after the play penalized. I saw, Yeah, it
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: made sense. I knew the rule, but I had to
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: double check. I'm like, am I seeing this right? And
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: on the next play they went after went up top
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: thirty four yard touchdown. We knew Pooka was gonna do
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: his thame. That made the score thirty one to twenty seven.
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that was top tough sequence obviously for twenty seven
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: there And that's a tough.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: Part of this rule book we learned last year.
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: I believe it was that even if you have a
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: if one teams five hour penalty, you have a fifteen
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: yard penalty. They don't just offset. They enforced a fifteen
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: yard penalty. Some things are unfortunate that hurt the Seahawks.
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: So again it's a four point game, and the Seahawks
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: would punt on the next drive, giving the ball back
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: to the Rams, so you might if you weren't nervous before,
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: you might start feeling a little bit nervous.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: And the Rams were having success.
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: They go on a crazy drive drive all the way
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: down to the Seahawks six yard line. And this was
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: a game start to finish. I don't think it was
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: Withers through his best game. He gave up some plays,
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: and honestly, not because he was getting beat. He slipped
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: on a couple, just some really weird, weird plays because
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: we know how good of a player he is, but
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: he has the memory as a corner. You have to
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: forget everything he locks in game season on the line
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: come up with two clutch pass breakups on third down
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: and then one and fourth down. I thought he's going
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: to pick that one off as well. So a huge
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: play from Reek and that kind of set the Seahawks up.
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: Man. That was great.
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: The receiver had to play defense because Spoon was in
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: such a great position on that play. The Hawks will
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: go on eleven play forty nine yard drive that essentially
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: ended the game.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: Amazing play calls with great execution.
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: They were clutched man the third and seventh compvision at
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: Cooper Cup, Fortune our pass jays in they were huge.
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: The Hawks will pum back to the Rams with twenty
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: five seconds left. Hawks bled the court. The time out
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: man four minutes and twenty nine seconds off the clock.
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: That's almost like scoring in that situation. You know, you
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: only give the twenty five seconds and the RAM didn't
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: have any timeouts.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and I can't stress this enough.
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: The credit we should give to Clint Kubiak because a
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: lot of people, myself included, I'm safe. I'm like, hey,
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: run the ball, run the ball, run the ball. Okay,
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: use your timeouts and you punt there. Maybe the Rams
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: a better field position. There's a ele of a drive
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: right there. Last drive though from the Rams. They get
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: the ball back twenty five seconds. Stafford defines Nakua for
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: a twenty plus yard game and finds the cool again,
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: but he has tackled in bounds. There was not enough
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: Timelincke they had no timeouts. Once I saw the ref
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: doing this, celebration commenced. Everyone's running on the field. It
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: was pretty Now I've been here. This my tenth season
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: with the Hawks. Obviously I've been around so I was
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: working in the media. I was working for Seattle Sports
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: when they won the football the first time, but to
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: be with this organization when it's going.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: To another Super Bowl, unreal feeling.
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: If you hear Rabels final call, he is talking about
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: the coaches are breaking down the glass. Yeah, that was
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: actually me. I was behind him. We lost our mind.
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: We're picking up sharing the see Rabel's lovely wife. And
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: it was a hell of a moment just to experience
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: that with all the boys up there.
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: But Bump.
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: When you look at these stats, though, I was kind
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: of like, it's shocking, really.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: The first one is Rams out gaining the Seahawks four
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: seventy nine or three ninety six. They rushed in one
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: of fourteen to seventy five and had eight point three
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: yards per play twenty six first down Seahawks twenty four.
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: If you only saw those stats, you're thinking the Rams
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: probably win this. I won't say convincingly, but probably by
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: seven plus.
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah at least. Yeah.
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: You look at those numbers and that's was so crazy
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: about this matchup. The numbers don't make sense when you
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: match up. The result is crazy. But the big one
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: the Rams were one for eight on third down, Paws
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: for seven to thirteen, so they're give them these explosives.
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: They're they're driving the football down the field, but when
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: it comes with they're down. They just weren't able to convert.
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: But they did still put up some points. Weird game.
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: That's why when people just want to read stats to
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: me and tell me about the game, yeah, I'm like, nah,
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: you gotta go watch the game.
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: Man. The stats don't tell the full story.
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: Sometimes they line up, but in a situation like this,
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: sometimes they don't.
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: No, no, no question about it.
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: I mean, like I said earlier, the Rams are the
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: only team to find success against this defense. But again,
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: when it came down to it, when they needed, the
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: Seahawks made to play in all three phases the game.
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: And I don't was there anything else to really learn
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: about the Seahawks bump We've been doing.
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: Us a long time.
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: No, man, complete, they're a complete team with Hey, you
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: know we did learn Get off of Sam.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: Come on now, get off of Sam man.
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: Goodness, gracious, I love Sam is a great human being,
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: always has been, always will be. I can't believe he's
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: that humble. If I heard people talking about me the
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: way they talk about him all the time. For him
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: to go out there and just do the right thing. Hey,
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: it's about my teammates do everything because that's who he is. Yeah, Sam,
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: you're a better man than yeah.
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: That is a lot of people making plays. All games
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: get into playmakers touch same playmakers to him? What time?
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: Oh wait, Cap, We'll start with the guy. We're just
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: talking about, Sam freaking Darnold. Twenty five and thirty six,
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: three hundred and forty six hours, three touchdowns, zero interceptions,
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: Q rating up one twenty seven point eight second playoff
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: win man.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: Like yo stuff exactly. It's it's nonsense.
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: Literally makes no sense to me when he were literally
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: grading him on two games. The last two games apparently
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: in Minnesota decided his future.
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: Everything about him. There's nothing he could do.
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: And I'm killing some time because I saw a stat
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: that I want to bring up about Sam Donald because
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: of what he was able to do on Sunday. He's
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: one of the best performances ever in a conference championship game.
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: I just saw this and I'm starring and I finally
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: found it.
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: Here we go.
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: Sam Donald had the fourth best passer rating ever in
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: the history of a conference championship Wow, only behind Nick.
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: Foles one for one point four.
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: Matt Ryan won thirty nine point four, Dan Marino won
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: thirty five point four, and then Sam Donald won twenty
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: seven point eight, just edging out Patrick Mahomes. Was obviously
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: a Hall of Famer, So there's no I don't know
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: what else you need to say about Sam Donald.
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: You're obviously here.
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: We've known that all season about you, your special I
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: just love for that moment to play as well as
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: he did as clean. No one could say, well the defense, no, no,
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: Sam doesn't play that well, You're not in the Super Bowl.
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: Man.
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: He took some too standing in the pocket, throwing the football,
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: being accurate, taking his chances. There's probably only one throw
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: where it kind of made me nervous. I throw to
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: Cooper Cup in the slot little early in the game.
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: But other than that, I felt great about Sam. Sam,
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: you demand one more game, Let's go. Ken Walker nineteen
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: carries sixty two yards, one touchdown, four receptions for forty
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: nine yards. Look, he was the first guy off the bus.
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: We were handing him the football in that first drive,
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: and it just looked different. He looks so much more confident.
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: And then probably the juke of the season in the
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: middle of the field, a gap stats making a grown
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: man cross his legs and be all out of position.
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: K nine was great. Man made some clutch receptions. He
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: set the tongue, Oh.
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: No question about it. And I love him. He's dangerous
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: in the past game. I think that's the most underrated
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: part about his game. That route he ran I failed
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: with the down diation was it was third down? Like
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: that's a receiver route and it's not a running back
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: running that route. Yeah, like that was ken Walker. You're
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: doing your thing. Love to see it. And then of
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: course who were talking about all year Jackson Smith and
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: Jigba Keen receptions one hundred and fifty three yards, one touchdown, amazing,
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: one handed catch games of sixteen, ten, forty.
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: Two, fourteen, twelve, fourteen. We know he's an absolute dog.
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: Passed Justin Jefferson for the most receiving yards by player
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: twenty three years or younger throughout including the playoffs. Fifth
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: player to have ten receptions one hundred and fifty yards
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: in a touchdown in a conference championship game, joining Julio Jones,
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: Pierre Garson, I Killered and Michael Irving had one hundred
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: and fifteen yards at halftime.
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: Jason has been a dog all year. Love to see
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: him display that on the biggest stage. Yeah, it was
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: a battle he had to. We knew Pu was gonna
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: do his thing, so Jason has a show. It was
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: fun seeing the two best receivers in a game go
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: at it for the show and then the og Cooper
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: Cup Man four receptions, thirty six yards, one touchdown, Man blocks.
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: I mean, if we could put a highlight of just
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: him blocking man, I mean, he's been so essential to
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: this run game and he got the ball out against
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: his former team and score touchdown and send them home
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: while he's going to the Super Bowl.
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: I mean, you can't draw it up any better. And
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: I've heard Jake Bob Will talk about it. He referenced it.
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: He went to the Cooper Cup School of blocking to learn.
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: Cooper Cup is not a physically imposing man when you
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: see him, but this dude is one of the best
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: blocking receivers in the National Football League. If you're a
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: receiver and you want to know how to do it,
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: put his tape on it. I'll promise you that's how
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: you do it. Keep it in the receivers. Rashik Shaheed Man,
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: he just makes finds a way to make a big
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: play almost every game, yep, every time you leave the game.
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: He at some point he found a way to make
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: his imprint on it. Now it's on that first drive
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: setting the tone. One reception fifty one yards and I think, honestly, defensively,
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: that changes how you defend us. If Rashisha Heat is
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: also a deep threat in that and it completely changes.
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: I think we'll talk about in the film Breakdown. I
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: think Rashik Shah Heat is impacting plays, sets up up
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: for JSA and the Cooper Cup as well.
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: So great to he thinks from him.
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: Yes, like once you once you touch the stove once
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: and it's hot, you ain't gonna touch again. That's just
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: Heat is like, all right, man, he didn't burn you now,
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: so you'd better be careful. Uh Nicki Munwari five tackles,
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: three passes defended, and the way that he covered was beautiful.
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: He had a pass break up against Avantie Adams. He
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: had one against uh Puking. The cool one was an out,
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: the other one was a crossing route. I think pff
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: great to him, the high graded defender in that game.
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: He was like, for it's crazy because we were talking
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: about what I think Nest Jen put out a stat
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: that he's given up the most yards, yeah for catching
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: the team, and we're scratching our heads like what's going on.
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: I don't I don't see that.
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: And then for him to play the way he did
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: it just really made me want to throw that stat away.
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: Oh thousand percent. And honestly, it just every time he
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: seemed to do something's reaffirming. And the Seahawks went out
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: and got him because he was a game changer everyone
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: kind of early on one and to just say camp
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: Chancellor because of his size, but he two camp Chancellor
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: as the potential Hall of Famer as well, two completely
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: different players, amazing in their own right, but you know,
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: probably Ring of Honor members when it's all said and done.
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: Sticking on defense and Marcus Lawrence two tackles, one TfL,
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: one sack, one QB hit. The first time we in
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: sacked Matthew Staffords is like twenty twenty three. Man, it's
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: been a long time, long time. So de La again consistent.
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: I love it for him too. Who's down there in Dallas. Sorry,
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: my homie Trevor. Y'all ain't winning him and he can't
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: comes here, and he was he was upfront about it.
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: He was talking about this. He talked about his goal
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: being the super Bowl when the season started in through
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: all that process, he I think it was who he's texting.
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: There's a text right out there with death Bryant.
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and he's telling him like, I think we can
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: go to super Bowl this other stuff, and they're like,
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: no way.
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: He knew the whole time.
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: I just I love hearing stories like that because their
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: message has never changed. It's been consistent, and de Las
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: is a huge reason why the Seahawks are still playing.
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: Love seeing him with his family on the field had
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: that moment too. Man, That's what it's about. It's been
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: a long he's been this league, in this league a
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: long time, and I had to be so sweet. And
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: then Spoon six tackles, two passes defended. Like you said,
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: he gave up a couple of plays early, but then
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: locked it in afterwards. Again great playing the end zone
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: to kind of steal this thame Spoon. He's uh, he's
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: a Pro Bowl for a reason.
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: Absolutely. I mean all pro change him now. He's both.
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: But you see from the receivers, all right.
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: You know we talked about the JCN he had ten
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: for one to fifty three, ten on twelve targets. I
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: think that's important too. Man efficient. Rashid had that big,
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: big target for fifty one yards. Yet Ken Walker four
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: for forty nine, Cooper Cup four for thirty.
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: Six and a touchdown.
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: Bobo had won for seventeen and a touchdown at George Allotti. Man,
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: he played a good game. They have thirty sevens for
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: twenty seven yards. He was good with the pass pro
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: as well. A. J. Barney had two for thirteen.
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, shoutout Hallani who hasn't played for a long time
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: to get back in there. Now we're going to our
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: favorite segment plays of the game, and I feel like
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: Bump was really gonna educate you right here. How Clint
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: Kobiak is just a wizard drawing up these plays getting
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: people open.
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: We're gonna find this play we're gonna do.
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: Sam Donold hooking up with JSN for a fourteen yard touchdown.
• 16:25
  Speaker 4: Comes into the backfield, Sam out of the shotgun, looks steps, throws.
• 16:30
  Speaker 5: Back, Carter cuts down, shayhawks j f N on the
• 16:37
  Speaker 5: left side wide open, and you'll love to see defensive
• 16:42
  Speaker 5: facts stop and look at each other and say, who
• 16:45
  Speaker 5: the hell was supposed to cover here.
• 16:47
  Speaker 6: He was wide open from fourteen out head. The Seahawks
• 16:51
  Speaker 6: retake the lead sixteen to thirteen.
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: Now something tells me, Coopy, I can watch film and say,
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: you know what, when we get down here in this situation,
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: we're probably gonna get quarters, and how can I get
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: a matchup? And he designs it beautifully. Jayson starts on
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: the right side, lines up in the backfield. So let's
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: look at the two high safeties. And you got your
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: corners who were playing d That makes me believe that
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: his quarter. So now if you got your flat defender
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: right inside of Rashid Shahib, what's gonna happen here is
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: Cooper cup is gonna run the out. The out is
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: gonna take care of the flat defender, is gonna expand
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: him and widen him, giving a clear lane for JSM.
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: You got Rashis Shaheed up top, He's gonna run the post,
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: taking the safety and the corner with him. That's where
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: they jacked up miscommunication right there. Now you look at
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: a linebacker, he's looking at JSN as he releases off
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: the back field. He thinks he has help over the top,
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: so he's not too worried about him, but because he
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: was widening out, the flat defender was widen out by
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: Cooper Cup and Rashis Shahi took two guys with him.
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: This leaves JSM wide open. Kubiak new, I'm gonna put
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: Duces Douce out there. He's gonna run that post, attract
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: all that attention, and I'm gonna get my guy jaysn
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: essentially one on one with a linebacker who's in his zone.
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: That's gonna let him go wide open. Kubiak was in
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: his here. Absolutely, this is a tough play at quarters.
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: You know, as a former secondary member, I love quarters coverage,
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: especially in the aggressive in the run, especially in the
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: red zone. But things happened really quick here. Putting him
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: in the backfield almost feels like he's a running back.
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: I feel like if the Rams are breaking down this film,
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: they'd be like, guys, we gotta pay. We got to
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: look at the personnel. Who's where I think not locking
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: in at eleven is the one in the backfield, because yeah,
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: if you only have one deep threat, the corner into
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: safety are going to take that. It's almost like a seam,
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: so you're gonna double cover that boom but because things
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: happen so quickly, and because Jasen is running from depth,
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: both corner safety lock into ras sheet and he's wide open,
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: and the linebacker Lanman, he's in a really he's in
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: a tough spot because he's thinking, well, I have a
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: safety in a corner over. Maybe he gets hands on
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: but he's like, oh no, I gotta help. I don't
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: need to do anything with that. I'm not man to man.
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: And then then that leads to wide open touchdown. And
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: that's just like again, that is film room. That is
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: hours and hours of watching tape, how they line up,
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: how many times they do this in the red zone
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: tendencies and then offensive line that hold up just long
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: enough for Sam Darnold to get in there and pushed
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: out at the Sam darnld for I mean this defensive
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: line when they're bearing down on you and just be
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: able to keep your eyes up and never you know,
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: because stuff happened at his feet eventually gets hit, but
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: he does his thing into the end zone touchdown JSN.
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: This next plays got it feels sweet for the man.
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: Cooper Cup so excited for him. Sam Donald bus Cooper
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: Cup thirteen yard touchdown.
• 19:22
  Speaker 4: A lot of this shotgun. Here comes the four man
• 19:24
  Speaker 4: Rams rush. Sam steps up, throws back inside cup, make.
• 19:27
  Speaker 5: The catch, touchdown, Sayhawks.
• 19:31
  Speaker 6: The former Ram Super Bowl MVP, now the Seahawks. And
• 19:37
  Speaker 6: he has another big catch thirteen yards and a touchdown.
• 19:42
  Speaker 6: This is a guy who's used to making big plays
• 19:45
  Speaker 6: at the biggest moments, and there's none bigger than tonight
• 19:48
  Speaker 6: the NFC Championship. Seahawks now lead again by ten thirty one.
• 19:53
  Speaker 6: Make it thirty to twenty again.
• 19:56
  Speaker 3: You're just challenging the responsibilities of the secondary all day
• 19:59
  Speaker 3: down here. I like this too. You got trips to
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: the right side of Sam Darnold. You have Cooper Cup
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: at the number one spot. Deuce deuce at the number
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: two spot. I mean, you have Jason at the number three.
• 20:09
  Speaker 3: What I like about this is it's a cover three.
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: You got three D, right, you pause it a little bit.
• 20:13
  Speaker 3: You got three D from the back end. What I
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: like about is one Cooper cups released. I'm gonna widen
• 20:17
  Speaker 3: them up to create space because he knows he wants
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: to attack that area between where Rashid Shahid is actually running,
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: all right, So he widens them up, takes a flat
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: different with him. Now you have Shahed running the corner
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: all right, that corner in that it's kind of like
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: what you just described on the Cover four. That corner
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: in that safety. They got to communicate, right, it's cover three.
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: You got to protect the seams. I gotta get depth
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: with deuce deuce, And then you look at jsm. Jason
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: runs like a delay, right, he stops around five and
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: then he's running across the field. You are going to
• 20:44
  Speaker 3: react when Jason is running across the field.
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: That opens up the hole for Cooper Cup right there.
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: So you combine Jaysn running across the field with Cooper
• 20:51
  Speaker 3: Cups widening released to open up that hole, and then
• 20:54
  Speaker 3: Rashid holding the safety and taking the corner with him.
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: You got number of space and opportunity. And then on
• 20:58
  Speaker 3: the other side you got your tight end who's right
• 21:00
  Speaker 3: in like a dagger or a dig, so that attracts
• 21:02
  Speaker 3: both safeties as well. This is why you run your
• 21:04
  Speaker 3: routes hard and you get the proper depth because you're
• 21:06
  Speaker 3: gonna get all the space and opportunity. You get Tim
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: who sits right there in the gap, gets north south bam.
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: Beautiful design, beautiful spacing.
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and I love and I have much to add there.
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: I mean, darnold though, I just love you. Look at
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: the end zone clip going through his progressions. Boom, He's
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: looking over at Barner ken Walker on that side, boom
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: JS and flashing war boom.
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: Cooper Cup.
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know what his progression was and
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: where if he was going to cut the entire time,
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: but he plays games with the secondary, so all of
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: them are their eyes are influenced throughout the route, and
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: then of course Cooper Cup.
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: I don't think.
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: Please prove me if I'm wrong, Internet, if I've seen
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: a play where Cooper Cup made a catch and was
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: tackled immediately by the first defender, right, it just doesn't happen.
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: His yak is out of this world, and he's just
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: a tough dude. For him to do that against his
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: former team, you know, he's a dude that I'm sure
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: is going to be in their Hall of Fame and
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: all that stuff eventually, but you know, to be let
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: go at the end. For him to do that against
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: them to go to the Super Bowl, I mean, he
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: can't write a better script than that. NFL scriptwriters, you
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: were on it this year, you were on It's all right,
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: that sets up our favorite donation this one for the
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: first time. I mean, you bumped sending the Seahawks to
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: the Super Bowl.
• 22:17
  Speaker 6: Here comes the Seahawks offense onto the field and the
• 22:20
  Speaker 6: Vikings defense trutching out there knowing that one kneel down
• 22:26
  Speaker 6: and the Seahawks are gonna line the clock.
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: Down and win this one.
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: It's the victory formation on Hawk Talk to quote coach
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: Mike McDonald, Yeah, we did not care. It's about us.
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: It's always been about us, and we do what we do.
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: Now we're going to the super Bowl. Come on, coach.
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: It's been that way all year, nine straight weeks.
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: Decisive, relentless, shocking, earned every opportunity, earned the right to
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: be there.
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: They are like that bump man. Come on, coach, that's
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: got to be so satisfying man.

• 22:57
  Speaker 3: this team together, Mike having the mission right man, and
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: big up to our guys. Sam Darnold shut all the
• 23:03
  Speaker 3: haters up. Twenty five to thirty six, three forty six,
• 23:06
  Speaker 3: three touchdowns, no interceptions, took care of that football who
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: says he can't win a big game. K nine one
• 23:12
  Speaker 3: hundred and eleven total yards, in a touchdown Jason one
• 23:14
  Speaker 3: hundred and fifty three to ten receptions. Everyone who needed
• 23:17
  Speaker 3: to do something did something on that night. Everybody, let's go.
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: I mean, seriously, I have no words. I'm just I
• 23:24
  Speaker 3: can't even talk right now because everyone helps so much.
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: Jayson offensive line, Cooper Coup, Derek Young pick a person
• 23:29
  Speaker 3: on either side of the ball. In special teams, they contributed.
• 23:32
  Speaker 3: Coach talks about it being seventy that concludes the practice squad.
• 23:35
  Speaker 3: So that started in the week in preparation getting to
• 23:37
  Speaker 3: this moment. He had Ricky White, who is he going
• 23:38
  Speaker 3: to be poking the cool this week in practice? He's
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: going to be this Everyone plays a role in this
• 23:43
  Speaker 3: building to get the Seahawks where they were at Spoon
• 23:46
  Speaker 3: doing his thing defensively. I just love that it's been
• 23:48
  Speaker 3: such a consistent message from all these guys. They were
• 23:50
  Speaker 3: I'm talking about this game being bigger than any opportunity.
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: It's the next one. Well guess what the next one
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: bump is in. I'm mclara, I got my ticket.

• 24:05
  Speaker 3: forty nine demons there a perfect trio of how the
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: Seahawks got there. And the part that I like the
• 24:11
  Speaker 3: most is you have an opportunity to go in to
• 24:15
  Speaker 3: won your rival's house in a house and win.
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: A trophy in their building. That bump is forever. Okay,
