Speaker 1: to Hawk Talk Recap edition. I am Michael Bumps along
0:37
Speaker 1: with Nasa Sohlby. The Seahawks beat the Colts twenty eight
0:40
Speaker 1: to sixteen in in the early start. But these guys
0:43
Speaker 1: looked good, and like we always do on the recap,
0:47
Speaker 1: we are going in the trenches with Ray robertson start,
0:52
Speaker 1: It's time to go inside the trenches with former Seahawk
0:56
Speaker 1: Ray Roberts. All right, we are in the inches with
1:00
Speaker 1: no other than Ray Roberts. Big Ray with something man,
1:03
Speaker 1: you my man. I want to first before we get started. Man,
1:07
Speaker 1: it was my first prey and postgame show with you
1:09
Speaker 1: was the as the host, and I would just have
1:13
Speaker 1: to say that, man, you were doing a great job
1:14
Speaker 1: and looking forward to to the rest of the season
1:17
Speaker 1: with you. Man, I appreciate it. Y'all. Y'all make my
1:20
Speaker 1: job easy. Man, I got some experts in the room
1:23
Speaker 1: with me, so y'all definitely make it all worth it. So, man,
1:26
Speaker 1: let's talk about these Seahawks. Man. The big question, Ray,
1:29
Speaker 1: was this offense right? What is this offense going to
1:31
Speaker 1: look like? Is it going to be smooth? Just your
1:35
Speaker 1: initial reaction to this new Seahawks offense. Well, I'll be
1:39
Speaker 1: honest with you, Mike, I was a little one of
1:40
Speaker 1: those old school dudes that was a little bit nervous
1:43
Speaker 1: that the that the Seahawks starters weren't getting any reps
1:47
Speaker 1: in the preseason. And then it was really hard for
1:49
Speaker 1: me to buy into you know, Pete Carroll, you know,
1:53
Speaker 1: speaking about how they had to do installation last year
1:56
Speaker 1: during a pandemic and all that, and he started out
1:58
Speaker 1: six and old, and I just felt like, man, that
2:00
Speaker 1: was just kind of like a like an anomaly, like
2:02
Speaker 1: I don't know if that was like the rule, but
2:04
Speaker 1: more of an exception to the rule. But they proved
2:07
Speaker 1: me wrong. Man, they came out. I thought there's going
2:09
Speaker 1: to be some communication issues or just timing issues or
2:12
Speaker 1: what have you, even with Duwayne Brown not taking rest
2:15
Speaker 1: aside Damian Lewis, and man it, it came out and
2:17
Speaker 1: looked like what they said there was going to look like,
2:20
Speaker 1: you know, they pretty much did what they wanted to do.
2:22
Speaker 1: There was you know, there was there was a time,
2:24
Speaker 1: you know, probably halfway through the game where they're deeply
2:27
Speaker 1: the coach defensive line though, like it was kind of
2:29
Speaker 1: getting some pressure with the pass rush, but they corrected
2:32
Speaker 1: some of that stuff. I love the way the offense
2:36
Speaker 1: made the defense defend the entire field, and so where
2:40
Speaker 1: there was a run plays, there were the short even
2:43
Speaker 1: intermediate passing. There's a obviously the deep balls to m
2:46
Speaker 1: to uh title locket. And then the thing that was
2:49
Speaker 1: really interesting to me is, you know, I went back
2:51
Speaker 1: and just watched the replay of the game, is how
2:54
Speaker 1: comfortable and um confident that that Russell felt in the pocket.
3:00
Speaker 1: He didn't there were times where people were close, even
3:03
Speaker 1: on some of those defalls, but he didn't feel the
3:06
Speaker 1: urge to take out, take off and run a Doris
3:08
Speaker 1: little reverse spin out. He stayed in the pockets, stepped
3:11
Speaker 1: up to the ball and uh. And to me, that
3:13
Speaker 1: shows trusting the offensive lines do you have in front
3:15
Speaker 1: of you? And and so for the most part, you know,
3:18
Speaker 1: offensive line did a great job pass blocking. They did
3:21
Speaker 1: a good job run blocking. Chris Carson, you know, who
3:23
Speaker 1: had ninety one yards rushing, could have easily gotten over
3:26
Speaker 1: a hundred. And then you know, and then like I said,
3:28
Speaker 1: with the past detection, they did a really good job.
3:30
Speaker 1: But there's some some kind of garbage tacks there to
3:32
Speaker 1: end and uh, and they got like two legit sacks,
3:35
Speaker 1: I would say, But I was really impressed with how
3:37
Speaker 1: they how the offense came out, Yary, I'm kind of
3:40
Speaker 1: like you. I'm like old school, right, they're not practicing.
3:43
Speaker 1: How's his offense gonna look? They come out and they execute.
3:45
Speaker 1: They did their thing. Now, another thing that's kind of
3:48
Speaker 1: different that we're not used to seeing, at least when
3:49
Speaker 1: we play ball, is rotation at the center spot. Right.
3:53
Speaker 1: We saw Kyle Fuller and we saw Ethan Postic going
3:55
Speaker 1: back and forth. I mean, do you think we're gonna
3:57
Speaker 1: continue to see that? And how do you feel about that?
3:59
Speaker 1: I hope not I know last year they were I
4:02
Speaker 1: think they were trying to uh. They were rotating early
4:06
Speaker 1: with the guards. They had Jordan Simmers coming in for
4:08
Speaker 1: your party, and uh, they were rotating some of the players.
4:12
Speaker 1: I think Jones came in a couple of times for uh,
4:15
Speaker 1: for Damian Lewis early in the season. I think they
4:17
Speaker 1: were trying to build depth. Uh. But I'm not sure
4:20
Speaker 1: if they're real settled at center who they want the
4:23
Speaker 1: center to be. But I think at this point, the
4:24
Speaker 1: way the offense is functioning, they need to just pick
4:27
Speaker 1: a dude and run with them because I think if
4:29
Speaker 1: they let the center and the two guards get comfortable,
4:33
Speaker 1: planned with each other, planned beside each other, uh uh,
4:37
Speaker 1: that it will you can mask a lot of the
4:39
Speaker 1: issues that are at center. And I'm not saying that
4:42
Speaker 1: the issues are glaring issues, but there are some times
4:45
Speaker 1: when you know, when the center gets manned up that
4:47
Speaker 1: there may be an advantage to the defense. But you
4:50
Speaker 1: can also scheme offensively how to how to take care
4:53
Speaker 1: of some of that stuff. I hope that they just
4:55
Speaker 1: pick one and and I love even Postic. I've loved
4:58
Speaker 1: them from the day they after him and couldn't quite
5:01
Speaker 1: figure out you know what it was that he was
5:03
Speaker 1: missing that they weren't, that they didn't love. But but
5:06
Speaker 1: I like cal Puller in the in the middle. He
5:08
Speaker 1: just seems stronger and bigger in that spot. And yeah,
5:11
Speaker 1: he needs to improved past protection and all that kind
5:13
Speaker 1: of stuff, but I think that they can mask that
5:16
Speaker 1: with the guard play. Yeah, I feel you. I'm with you,
5:19
Speaker 1: slike you need that continuity, that chemistry offenses, especially that
5:23
Speaker 1: old line man. You guys work together so fluidly. Now
5:25
Speaker 1: let's talk about Darryl Taylor. That guy's in a new position.
5:29
Speaker 1: He looked explosive during training camp with just a T
5:32
Speaker 1: shirt and a helmet on. But this dude showed up
5:34
Speaker 1: on Sunday. What you see. You know, I was super
5:37
Speaker 1: excited because, you know, during the preseason, you know, if
5:41
Speaker 1: you don't really know the intricacies of pass rush and
5:45
Speaker 1: offensive line play, defensive line playing the trenches, you can
5:48
Speaker 1: look at what he did in the preseason and be like, so,
5:50
Speaker 1: what all he did was run task around the corner.
5:52
Speaker 1: I remember there's someone on Twitter was saying like he
5:56
Speaker 1: needs to develop a move. He's just fast, and I'm like, dude,
5:59
Speaker 1: speed kills like you cannot you cannot teach speed, and
6:03
Speaker 1: you know, played against enough fast pass rushers to know
6:06
Speaker 1: that if you can master your speed, that's all you need.
6:08
Speaker 1: And so it was really I was really excited to
6:11
Speaker 1: see him really put pressure on the quarterback. He had
6:14
Speaker 1: a couple of hits on the quarterback. He could have
6:16
Speaker 1: had three sacks. He missed a couple of because of
6:19
Speaker 1: a bad angle or the quarterback scrambled out and got
6:22
Speaker 1: away from him. But I was super excited about his
6:25
Speaker 1: energy on the field. Uh, it could have maybe one
6:28
Speaker 1: or two players, you know, setting an edge in the
6:29
Speaker 1: run game could have been better. But the sack that
6:32
Speaker 1: he got in the move that he made to get
6:34
Speaker 1: that sack a stutter kind of He kind of started
6:37
Speaker 1: out with speed, stuttered and then went to power. And
6:39
Speaker 1: that's a lot to deal with for for an offensive lineman.
6:42
Speaker 1: Of I don't care who you are and uh, and
6:44
Speaker 1: so that shows a lot of improvement from what you
6:47
Speaker 1: saw just in the preseason. So I'm excited about Darrel
6:51
Speaker 1: Taylor and I knew he was going to be a playmaker.
6:53
Speaker 1: It just a matter of time and putting everybody together
6:56
Speaker 1: and getting all those reps with the rest of the
6:57
Speaker 1: defensive line. Excited about this, dude. It might be the
7:00
Speaker 1: first the yoak jersey I go by because I just
7:03
Speaker 1: like to do so. Oh get it all right? All right,
7:06
Speaker 1: Darrel Teller making a big impression on the big homie, right,
7:09
Speaker 1: last one I got for you, man. So good week,
7:12
Speaker 1: good start to the season. Offense got going, defense shine
7:14
Speaker 1: at times as well. How do they keep this going?
7:17
Speaker 1: It gets the Titans, We know what they got over
7:19
Speaker 1: there there, Genery Julio Jones, A J. Brown. Now, the
7:22
Speaker 1: Titans got beat by the Arizona Cardinals. They did their thing.
7:25
Speaker 1: But what do the Seahawks have to do to keep
7:27
Speaker 1: the good times rolling? Well, defensively, obviously, it's gonna be
7:30
Speaker 1: stopped to run because you know that, you know, Tannehill
7:33
Speaker 1: works the best off of play action and when the
7:35
Speaker 1: running game is working. And then obviously Derrick Henry, he
7:38
Speaker 1: just rushed for joined the two thousand yard club last
7:41
Speaker 1: year and probably is gonna, you know, once he gets rolling,
7:43
Speaker 1: he's probably gonna have a chance to maybe be the
7:46
Speaker 1: first running back to do it back to back. So
7:48
Speaker 1: they're gonna have to really man up against the run.
7:50
Speaker 1: And then because they do have those explosive receivers, on
7:54
Speaker 1: the outside. Then the pass rush is gonna have to
7:56
Speaker 1: show up again. You know, we're still trying to get
7:59
Speaker 1: settled at corner, uh and get that secondary you know
8:02
Speaker 1: settled U and coverage is settled. So the better the
8:05
Speaker 1: pass rush is, the more time you buy for those
8:08
Speaker 1: guys to be better on the on the back end. So, uh,
8:10
Speaker 1: stopping the run and continuing the pass rush is going
8:13
Speaker 1: to be big for the defense. And then on offense,
8:16
Speaker 1: it's just I feel like we just saw, like we
8:18
Speaker 1: probably didn't see twenty five percent of what this offense
8:21
Speaker 1: is capable of. You know, they tease us a little
8:23
Speaker 1: bit in the middle when they were like just killing
8:25
Speaker 1: them with the tight end, you know, to four straight
8:27
Speaker 1: passes to the tight end and top that with a
8:29
Speaker 1: touchdown pass the average. So that's just a little bit
8:32
Speaker 1: of what they can do and in that area. And
8:34
Speaker 1: we didn't see a lot of the wrinkles that they
8:36
Speaker 1: have in the run game, So we didn't really see
8:38
Speaker 1: We saw a little bit of the tempo, but not
8:40
Speaker 1: a lot of the tempo. So there's still a lot
8:43
Speaker 1: to be uh, the show with this offense. So just
8:45
Speaker 1: building on the success that you had, you know, in
8:48
Speaker 1: the first week and uh and just continuing to make
8:50
Speaker 1: the defense defend the entire field. I don't know that
8:53
Speaker 1: the Titans defenses is going to be one of the
8:55
Speaker 1: better defenses they face. So it's an opportunity to get
8:58
Speaker 1: right in a lot of areas with this off all Right,
9:01
Speaker 1: you heard it here first, Ray Roberts gave you the
9:04
Speaker 1: recipe to success, big homie, like always, man, appreciate your time. Yes, sir,
9:09
Speaker 1: that's the bump us. Good to hear from me this week. Brothers.
9:11
Speaker 1: All right, man, see soon. All right, you got the
9:14
Speaker 1: word from Ray. Now we're bringing in NASA Sholby. Let's
9:17
Speaker 1: talk about this win. What had happened, See what had
9:19
Speaker 1: happened at first? What had happened was unhwkdo. What had
9:27
Speaker 1: happened was it was good. It was great for the
9:29
Speaker 1: Seattle Seahawks beating the Colts twenty eight to sixteen, and
9:33
Speaker 1: honestly bumped right off the jump. The thing that stood
9:35
Speaker 1: out to me, number one was how good this new
9:37
Speaker 1: look offense was. Man, And I'm telling you it absolutely
9:40
Speaker 1: lived up to the hype. On Sunday to Seawks had
9:43
Speaker 1: three hundred and eighty one total yards and averaged seven
9:45
Speaker 1: point two yards of play. Russell Wilson started off like
9:49
Speaker 1: you know he would, just like it did twenty twenty.
9:51
Speaker 1: Martis eleventh game with four touchdown passes and zero interceptions,
9:55
Speaker 1: and most by a player in his first ten seasons
9:57
Speaker 1: in NFL history, surpassing Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers, and Hall
10:01
Speaker 1: of Famer Peyton Manning. So this offense looked great, Bump.
10:04
Speaker 1: I mean when you watched it, they could do everything
10:07
Speaker 1: right kind of alluded to it there. They got a
10:09
Speaker 1: little bit with the tight ends, a little bit of
10:11
Speaker 1: tempo and everything. To me that stood out, Bump was
10:14
Speaker 1: it just felt easy. It felt easy. It felt like
10:17
Speaker 1: they had something for the Colts defense, and the Colts
10:20
Speaker 1: defense couldn't really respond. Yeah, you know that first drive
10:24
Speaker 1: was interesting, right because the Colts come out and they're
10:26
Speaker 1: moving the rock right, there's a couple of third downs.
10:28
Speaker 1: He felt like that the Seahawks defense was gonna get
10:30
Speaker 1: off the field. They're handing the ball to Jonathan Taylor.
10:32
Speaker 1: Were like, okay, they're grinding it out. Defense holds the
10:36
Speaker 1: Colts to three points, which is good. Now that offense
10:38
Speaker 1: gets out there, and like you said, everything was clicking. Man.
10:41
Speaker 1: We saw the tight ends get involved. We saw a
10:43
Speaker 1: tight end scream. There was a drive I think it
10:46
Speaker 1: was a second or third drive where the tight ends
10:48
Speaker 1: just contributed the most. We saw will Dissey with a
10:51
Speaker 1: stiff farm. You see Joe Ever with a screen and
10:53
Speaker 1: then a slant to score a touchdown, and that run
10:56
Speaker 1: game got going. It just looked really balanced and Russell
10:58
Speaker 1: Wilson got the full ball out of his hands quickly.
11:00
Speaker 1: We saw everything that we wanted to see in its
11:02
Speaker 1: only week one. Right, they're gonna start adding things to
11:05
Speaker 1: this playbook, a few wrinkles here and there. I'm excited
11:08
Speaker 1: to see where this offense goes. Absolutely, and you look
11:10
Speaker 1: at the drive chart they started the game. They went touchdown, touchdown,
11:13
Speaker 1: plunt touchdown. I mean he had to drive nine place
11:16
Speaker 1: eighty six yards, seven place sixty one yards, six place
11:19
Speaker 1: eighty eight yards. So it's just really fun to see,
11:21
Speaker 1: especially and it just it felt different. And that's not
11:23
Speaker 1: a shot at what the offense was like under Bevel
11:26
Speaker 1: or Schottenheimer. It's just really cool to see what Waldron
11:29
Speaker 1: can bring. And Race said it too, like we just
11:31
Speaker 1: see maybe twenty five percent of what they're capable of,
11:34
Speaker 1: which is really scary for the NFC West, and now
11:37
Speaker 1: we can't sleep on the defense either man. Defense made
11:39
Speaker 1: some plays. Darryl Taylor got after Rashime Green got after
11:42
Speaker 1: Bobby did this same. We're gonna talk about our playmakers
11:45
Speaker 1: here in the next segment, but there were some plays
11:47
Speaker 1: being made out there. I love how Carson Wentz just
11:51
Speaker 1: didn't seem comfortable. There was a stretch where he was
11:53
Speaker 1: ten for eleven. He had things going, but when it
11:55
Speaker 1: was time to play some ball and get dirty, that
11:57
Speaker 1: defense showed up and did the thing. Yeah, without questions,
12:00
Speaker 1: and you never felt at any point like the game
12:02
Speaker 1: wasn't in control. You know, people talk about how the
12:05
Speaker 1: Seahawks play, and typically how the Seahawks usually start the season.
12:07
Speaker 1: Sometimes it's kind of a knock them out, drag him out, slow,
12:10
Speaker 1: star furious comeback. In the second half, the Seahawks were
12:13
Speaker 1: in control from the jump, and you mentioned defensively, it's
12:16
Speaker 1: a huge to hold them to a field goal on
12:18
Speaker 1: that first time. And while everyone talked about our new
12:21
Speaker 1: look offense, the Colts had a new quarterback. Things were
12:24
Speaker 1: different over there too, so the Seahawks for the first time,
12:26
Speaker 1: and it was cool that we could put to bed
12:29
Speaker 1: all to worry about whether or not it would impact
12:31
Speaker 1: the Seahawks if they didn't have a preseason or for
12:33
Speaker 1: starters in play. Well, the boys refreshed and no one
12:36
Speaker 1: was on the injury report, and it was a good reason.
12:38
Speaker 1: So obviously, continue to trust and Pete and John. They
12:40
Speaker 1: know what they're doing. Defensively, they look great, and honestly, man,
12:44
Speaker 1: I don't want to get too overly excited. It's been
12:46
Speaker 1: one week. It's been one week. Sometimes you know, overreaction
12:50
Speaker 1: Monday's what they call it, right, But what I'm seeing, man,
12:53
Speaker 1: their Seahawks are in control. The young guys were flashing.
12:56
Speaker 1: So I'm really really excited about the potential of this
12:58
Speaker 1: squad in twenty twenty one. I'm with these, sir. Now,
13:01
Speaker 1: let's talk about these youngsters and old school cats and playmakers. Playmakers,
13:16
Speaker 1: but they make us. Of course, we could probably start
13:19
Speaker 1: the segment every single week with the quarterback number three,
13:22
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson. I mentioned he broke some records earlier. He
13:25
Speaker 1: was eighteen of twenty three with two hundred fifty four yards,
13:28
Speaker 1: four touchdowns and most importantly no interceptions. Man, And the
13:32
Speaker 1: thing about Russ we kind of talked about this little
13:34
Speaker 1: bit on the postgame show. Is there's a lot made
13:36
Speaker 1: up of how much control he has in this offense,
13:38
Speaker 1: and he feels like he has more freedom. And it
13:40
Speaker 1: seems like we saw that on Sunday. He was checking
13:42
Speaker 1: a ton of different plays. There was always an outlet
13:45
Speaker 1: for him. He always had the team in the right play,
13:47
Speaker 1: whether it's checking to a run with Chris Carsons will
13:49
Speaker 1: talk about in a minute, or buying Tyler Locket or
13:52
Speaker 1: dkbec f down the field getting escridg involved. So the
13:55
Speaker 1: quarterback looks amazing and again, don't want to get ahead
13:59
Speaker 1: of yours. It's week one, but man, he's gonna be
14:03
Speaker 1: all up in that MVP conversation once again this season,
14:06
Speaker 1: second time, second season in the row. He started the
14:10
Speaker 1: season with four touchdowns knowing deceptions only. He's the first
14:13
Speaker 1: quarterback to ever do that back to back season openers
14:15
Speaker 1: four touchdowns, no interceptions. He's always breaking records. What else
14:19
Speaker 1: is new for Rolsell Wilson? All right? Next, playmaker Tyler
14:21
Speaker 1: Lockett four receptions a hundred yards of one touchdown. Now
14:24
Speaker 1: this offseason, DK has been getting a lot of love,
14:27
Speaker 1: as he should be getting a lot of love, dude
14:29
Speaker 1: to a playmaker he's a superstar of personality all that stuff.
14:32
Speaker 1: But number sixteen said, man, don't sleep on me. Don't forget.
14:35
Speaker 1: I've been here seven eight years. I've been making plays
14:38
Speaker 1: the last four or five years. I'm gonna get this
14:40
Speaker 1: thing going. Tyler Lockett looks good. Will break down one
14:43
Speaker 1: of his touchdowns in the film room later on in
14:45
Speaker 1: this podcast. But it's nice to see sixteen lead to
14:49
Speaker 1: charge because everyone thought that fourteen was gonna go out
14:51
Speaker 1: there and kind of have a big day. He had
14:53
Speaker 1: a day as well, but sixteen overliable Manking always count
14:56
Speaker 1: on him, always, man, he's just a technician, like he
15:00
Speaker 1: shouldn't be surprised with his production anymore. Because the thing
15:02
Speaker 1: I've always said about Tyler in which we love, is
15:04
Speaker 1: that the efficiency. Man. When you look at Tyler Lockett,
15:08
Speaker 1: it's four receptions on five targets. There's pretty much every
15:13
Speaker 1: Boss Storey look at. With Tyler Lockett, you maybe only
15:16
Speaker 1: missed him once or twice. He's not a guy where
15:18
Speaker 1: he's being targeted fifteen times and has eight receptions. Incredibly efficient.
15:22
Speaker 1: When those two hook up, it's it's dangerous for defenses.
15:25
Speaker 1: So Tyler Lockett balling out as we know he would,
15:28
Speaker 1: but man, our boy, Chris Carson, people have been sleeping too.
15:31
Speaker 1: And it's hard to say that because it's man's had
15:33
Speaker 1: several one thousand yards seasons. But you know he goes
15:36
Speaker 1: in this offseason is in a phenomenal shape. He always
15:39
Speaker 1: is doing crazy workout videos that hurt to even watch, honestly,
15:43
Speaker 1: and you know, people were wondering how he's gonna look
15:45
Speaker 1: in this offense, and I just loved how they use him.
15:47
Speaker 1: Sixteen carries ninety one yards, averaging five point seven yards
15:51
Speaker 1: to carry. You saw him at that thirty three yard run.
15:54
Speaker 1: You saw him get some of those tough yards, stiff
15:56
Speaker 1: arm and guys, just being physical runner that he is.
16:00
Speaker 1: He had the one fumble, obviously he'd like to give back,
16:02
Speaker 1: but the Seahawks came right back to him the next
16:04
Speaker 1: drive corrected that. So Chris Carson, man, he's gonna have
16:07
Speaker 1: if he can stay healthy, he will be well over
16:09
Speaker 1: a thousand yards. And he's so important in this offense
16:12
Speaker 1: that you gotta marry the run game in the past game,
16:14
Speaker 1: as Ray Roberts always says, And we saw a lot
16:16
Speaker 1: of good things from Chris Carson on Sunday. Yeah, Chris
16:19
Speaker 1: Carson running behind those paths like he normally does. I
16:22
Speaker 1: feel sorry for defenders who try to tackle this dude
16:25
Speaker 1: like he's he meets force with force. It's not like
16:28
Speaker 1: he's just running to get tackled. He's like, look, you're
16:30
Speaker 1: trying to go head up. Let's go ahead and do it.
16:32
Speaker 1: I'm about one hundred and thirty pounds. I've been working
16:35
Speaker 1: out this offseason. I'm ready to go. Chris Carson, it
16:37
Speaker 1: looks like it hurts to tackle you, sir. You're the
16:39
Speaker 1: reason why I didn't play defense all right. Next up
16:42
Speaker 1: Bobby Wagner thirteen tackles, one tackle for loss, one pass defended,
16:46
Speaker 1: and it's like, this is a typical Bobby game. I
16:48
Speaker 1: got sneaky thirteen right. There was nothing that that just
16:51
Speaker 1: wild you. But he's always in the right place. He's
16:54
Speaker 1: going to make the tackle, He's gonna get guys organized.
16:57
Speaker 1: Bobby Wagner had another great game. We're getting spoiled mass
17:00
Speaker 1: Did you see these these double digit tackle days from Bobby?
17:03
Speaker 1: So I want to remind people don't take this for granted.
17:05
Speaker 1: It's nice to see Bobby continue to be consistent. Absolutely,
17:09
Speaker 1: Bobby Wagner is just like Russell Wilson is a first
17:12
Speaker 1: ballot Hall of Famer, one of the best to do
17:14
Speaker 1: it in his consistency, year in and year out, continues
17:17
Speaker 1: to show on Sunday. And that's why fifty four is
17:19
Speaker 1: team captain, and that's why he's one of the best
17:21
Speaker 1: linebackers in the NFL always in All Pro and Pro Bowl.
17:24
Speaker 1: Are so good to see Bobby out there, but the
17:26
Speaker 1: young buck right next to him in his second year,
17:28
Speaker 1: Jordan Brooks. He had another good day on Sunday. He
17:30
Speaker 1: had eleven tackles and he was all over the field.
17:32
Speaker 1: And the cool thing about him is what I noticed
17:35
Speaker 1: about him is other than his speed and his physical
17:37
Speaker 1: inn this is how good he's in coverage too. Man.
17:39
Speaker 1: There's a couple of times where he's got to turn
17:41
Speaker 1: and run with tight ends and running backs and he's
17:43
Speaker 1: all over him. Man, Jordan Brooks is gonna have This
17:47
Speaker 1: is a year he puts the league on notice. I
17:48
Speaker 1: mentioned Marquise Blair in our first podcast. I think Jordan
17:51
Speaker 1: Brooks in that same category. He's gonna play a lot
17:54
Speaker 1: and he's gonna make people notice how good he is.
17:57
Speaker 1: And here's the thing, Bump. He had eleven tackles and
17:58
Speaker 1: he was tating with Cody Barton there in the second half.
18:01
Speaker 1: So Jordan Brooks is gonna be a boss this year.
18:04
Speaker 1: Love to see it. Love his physicality, love his speed
18:06
Speaker 1: and his speed. Really this is what jumps off the
18:08
Speaker 1: page for me. Yeah, I love the youth that Bobby
18:12
Speaker 1: has around him. Right, you got Jordan Brooks, he got
18:15
Speaker 1: Cody Barton. Taylor will drop down on the second level
18:18
Speaker 1: at times. It's nice that Bobby is there to help
18:22
Speaker 1: mint toward these kids and they're there to do some
18:25
Speaker 1: of the dirty word. Where Bobby's a vet, you know
18:27
Speaker 1: what I mean, Like he's gonna be strategic and when
18:29
Speaker 1: he's gonna challenge these these linemen and really stick his
18:32
Speaker 1: nose into the tackle, he goes, look, man, I got
18:34
Speaker 1: the young but fifty six and fifty seven right next
18:36
Speaker 1: to me, y'all go ahead and get it done, all right?
18:38
Speaker 1: Speaking of young bucks, Darryl Taylor and Rashime Green. Darryl
18:42
Speaker 1: Taylor had two tackles and his first career sack, which
18:45
Speaker 1: was nasty. He kind of did kind of a receiver
18:47
Speaker 1: release where he shift the tackle left and right, got
18:50
Speaker 1: him off balance. Boom ran through him and lit Carson
18:53
Speaker 1: wentz up and then Rashene Green man. He had a
18:56
Speaker 1: great offseason, had a great preseason, and now his very
19:00
Speaker 1: first opportunity to make it real. He proves us right.
19:03
Speaker 1: Four tackles, one sack, two QB hits, one tackle for loss.
19:07
Speaker 1: The youth movement is here. We got some old dogs
19:09
Speaker 1: out there too, but the youth movement has a run,
19:12
Speaker 1: and people forget how young Rashim Green is. Rashim Green
19:15
Speaker 1: is still younger than our first or second round pick
19:18
Speaker 1: dayne Eskridge right now, and he's in year four. And
19:21
Speaker 1: the cool thing about Rashim is defensive line coach Clint
19:25
Speaker 1: Hurt talked about he thought a light bulb went off
19:26
Speaker 1: with Rahim that he's found at home in the position
19:28
Speaker 1: he's at. And it's good to see great play in
19:31
Speaker 1: the preseason transfer over to the regular season because I
19:33
Speaker 1: know a lot of people out there are like, well,
19:35
Speaker 1: I've seen this before, I've seen this before. Now you've
19:38
Speaker 1: not seen this version of machine Green. He's gonna be
19:40
Speaker 1: destined to have a big year and we'll see. Paul
19:42
Speaker 1: Moyer was hoping, he said he'd have ten sacks or
19:44
Speaker 1: something like that yesterday. So if Rashie Green has ten sacks,
19:48
Speaker 1: it's going to be one hell of a year for
19:50
Speaker 1: that defense. Bump. Yes, sir, let's get it going. All right,
19:54
Speaker 1: let's talk about my favorite position. This is the wide receiver.
19:57
Speaker 1: Round up, Okay, Tyler, I can lead the way. Four
20:00
Speaker 1: reception is one hundred yards, two touchdowns along of sixty
20:04
Speaker 1: nine NASA. If my math is correct, four one hundred
20:08
Speaker 1: divided by four is twenty five. That's twenty five yards
20:11
Speaker 1: per catch. This guy's out there balling four catches on
20:13
Speaker 1: five targets. Dk metcalp six yards, four catches, one touchdown.
20:18
Speaker 1: What I liked about that touchdown was just how smooth
20:22
Speaker 1: and how effortless to look with his hands. We know
20:24
Speaker 1: he's a big man, he's got hands. I'm not saying
20:26
Speaker 1: the man can't catch. Obviously he can catch, but sometimes
20:29
Speaker 1: it looks like he's strong with it. You know. I
20:31
Speaker 1: wanted to smooth it out. That's what I saw. He
20:33
Speaker 1: looks smooth. What it will Disley do? Will Disley? Three
20:36
Speaker 1: receptions in thirty seven yards twelve point three per catch
20:40
Speaker 1: along of twenty two on three targets, mister efficiency, three targets.
20:43
Speaker 1: Love to see the tight ends involved. Last year we
20:45
Speaker 1: were begging, pleading, to get these tight ends more involved
20:48
Speaker 1: in the game plan. And Will Disley was all over that.
20:51
Speaker 1: Below that Chris Carson, he got involved in receiving game
20:53
Speaker 1: a little bit. Two at three receptions twenty six yards
20:56
Speaker 1: on three targets. Again it's all about efficiency. And then bump,
20:59
Speaker 1: we got another guy, Gerald Everett. Two receptions, twenty yards,
21:03
Speaker 1: ten per catching. He had that nice touchdown. So the
21:05
Speaker 1: tight ends are definitely a big part of this wide
21:07
Speaker 1: receiving game. Here, tight ends, we're getting it done. We
21:10
Speaker 1: had d Eskrez had one cash for six yards. He
21:12
Speaker 1: got a little banged up, looked like he might be concussed.
21:14
Speaker 1: We'll see what happened there. DJ Dallas had one for
21:17
Speaker 1: five and my guy Freddy swayin one target, no catch.
21:20
Speaker 1: But something tells me we're gonna see this guy eventually
21:23
Speaker 1: get acclimated to this offense. Okay, I'll hand it to
21:26
Speaker 1: it earlier. Let's go to the coaches corner breakdown. Tyler
21:29
Speaker 1: Locket sixty nine yard touchdown, second down and twenty rush
21:32
Speaker 1: steps up in the pocket and he's gonna let fly
21:34
Speaker 1: deep downfield got him out open locking ten five stupples.
21:39
Speaker 1: He's in touchdown. Seahawks on a second down and twenty
21:45
Speaker 1: after a sack, Russell Wilson rears back and lets it
21:49
Speaker 1: fly sixty nine yard touchdown, Tyler locking his second score
21:54
Speaker 1: of the day. Holy catfish. This offense his explode. So
22:00
Speaker 1: here's what happens. Nas offense come out in the two
22:03
Speaker 1: by two formations, two receivers to the right, two receivers
22:06
Speaker 1: to the left. We got will Disley in the slide
22:09
Speaker 1: and I believe that is Freddie Sway in the slide
22:10
Speaker 1: down below. Those guys run out. So what that does.
22:13
Speaker 1: That's designed to hold the flat defender. Like, if you're
22:16
Speaker 1: not gonna jump on these outs, we're gonna take a shot,
22:18
Speaker 1: all right. You get Chris Carson who releases. He's an outlet.
22:21
Speaker 1: That's what I like about this offense too, man, it
22:23
Speaker 1: seems like there's always an outlet. Chris Carson was an
22:25
Speaker 1: outlet here. Now let's focus on the outside receivers, okay,
22:28
Speaker 1: from the wide birds, and it looks like DK and
22:31
Speaker 1: Locket are just running goes right. But now when you
22:33
Speaker 1: look at the bag view, you see that Tyler Lockett
22:37
Speaker 1: runs a corner post. He gets the safety to commit
22:40
Speaker 1: to the corner. He looks over his right shoulder, he
22:42
Speaker 1: puts his right foot in the ground, snaps it back.
22:45
Speaker 1: DK does a great job of holding the safety on
22:48
Speaker 1: the other side with his goal, and now all Russell
22:50
Speaker 1: has to do is toss it over the top. Sixteen
22:53
Speaker 1: is sneaky fast, gets behind the defender. We all know
22:56
Speaker 1: that Russell Wilson throws the best long ball in the NFL.
23:00
Speaker 1: Fell great connection, sixty nine yard touchdown to sixteen. Gotta
23:04
Speaker 1: love it too. And the thing about what I love
23:05
Speaker 1: you said he ran a corner post. That's a really
23:07
Speaker 1: incredibly tough route to defend as a safety, especially we're
23:09
Speaker 1: gonna commit to it. And if you are going to
23:11
Speaker 1: commit to it, the only way to get it out
23:12
Speaker 1: of that is a speed turn. And when you open
23:14
Speaker 1: one way and try to open back the other way,
23:16
Speaker 1: you have no chance. Even if even if the safety
23:19
Speaker 1: speed turns here, I still doesn't think gets there. But
23:21
Speaker 1: if you open up one way and try to open
23:23
Speaker 1: up the other way when Tyer Lockett is running right
23:25
Speaker 1: at you, you have no chance at all. And he's
23:28
Speaker 1: just a technician runner outs man. And what I love
23:30
Speaker 1: about it is there's gonna be different elements of this offense,
23:35
Speaker 1: and they're gonna be much better attacking two high stuff.
23:37
Speaker 1: They're gonna have cover two beaters, you know, cover three beaters,
23:40
Speaker 1: all that stuff. And with this guy Runner Outes and
23:42
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson, who throws the best deep ball in the
23:44
Speaker 1: National Football League bar none, not close, It's gonna be
23:47
Speaker 1: really fun to watch. We need those cover two beaters
23:50
Speaker 1: because cover two beaters last year. Yes, we had those
23:52
Speaker 1: covered two beaters. The greatest formation in all the full
23:56
Speaker 1: ball victory formation Eric the Seahawk offense onto the field
24:02
Speaker 1: and the Vikings defense trudging out there knowing that one
24:06
Speaker 1: kneel down and the Seahawks are gonna wind the clock
24:10
Speaker 1: down and win this one. It's the victory formation on
24:13
Speaker 1: Hawk Talk. Gotta love the victory formation is the best
24:16
Speaker 1: formation in football. That means your team that you root
24:19
Speaker 1: for is victorious. And um, we saw the beginning of
24:22
Speaker 1: what could be a really special year for this team.
24:24
Speaker 1: This offense is defense everyone involved in the organization. The
24:27
Speaker 1: thing they jumped out to me the most is what
24:29
Speaker 1: we saw from this offense. It has a ton of
24:32
Speaker 1: potential and I think it could be one of the
24:33
Speaker 1: best in the National Football League. And we're just at
24:36
Speaker 1: the tip of the iceberg of what we think they're
24:38
Speaker 1: capable of, and I cannot wait to see what Shan
24:41
Speaker 1: Shane Waldron excuse me has up a sleeve for the
24:43
Speaker 1: rest of the season. Lots of potential for this offense,
24:46
Speaker 1: and it is all led by mister consistent, mister Tyler Lockett.
24:49
Speaker 1: Like I mentioned, four catches one hundred yards. He just
24:53
Speaker 1: makes plays and he's quiet about it, and I like
24:55
Speaker 1: his approach. Man. I feel like, you know, we wore
24:58
Speaker 1: the same number. I didn't wear it as good as he,
25:00
Speaker 1: but if I could go back and do it again,
25:02
Speaker 1: I'd want to be Tyler Locke. Man is like everything
25:04
Speaker 1: that he brings to the table. And Russell Wilson, once
25:07
Speaker 1: again the start of the season, he is in the
25:09
Speaker 1: MVP conversation. Let's just keep this thing rolling. Like you said,
25:13
Speaker 1: this is one week right, one down, seventeen to go,
25:17
Speaker 1: but a great way to start it off. Absolutely and
25:20
Speaker 1: on the defensive side, we can't pretend like they didn't
25:22
Speaker 1: show up. They didn't unbelievably value, but they're incredibly efficient.
25:26
Speaker 1: They held the Colts the new look offensive only sixteen
25:28
Speaker 1: points and we're in control of the entire game. That
25:31
Speaker 1: last touchdown they got it was twenty to ten, kind
25:33
Speaker 1: of a garbage time touchdown. So this defense looked great.
25:35
Speaker 1: The young guys are flashing Rahime Green, Jordan Brooks, we
25:38
Speaker 1: know where're gonna get from, Bobby Wagner, Jamal Adams all
25:41
Speaker 1: over the field, Quadric Diggs out there hitting people. The corners.
25:44
Speaker 1: That's the one thing we didn't even get into it.
25:46
Speaker 1: It's a good thing I mentioned before we get out
25:47
Speaker 1: of here. The corners played well. You look at Carson Wentz,
25:50
Speaker 1: his stats man. Everyone gets upset, and I'm just gonna
25:52
Speaker 1: say this one time. Everything everyone gets upset when a
25:56
Speaker 1: corner lets a ball get completed. You can't take away everything.
26:00
Speaker 1: If the ball gas completed in front of Trey Flowers,
26:02
Speaker 1: that does not mean he's bad at football. That doesn't
26:04
Speaker 1: mean he sucks. He played good football yesterday. Same with
26:06
Speaker 1: DJ Reid. They're kept everything in front. They gave up
26:09
Speaker 1: no big plays, which is huge because they're the biggest
26:11
Speaker 1: question mark for most coming into this game. So it's
26:14
Speaker 1: good to see them play well. And I'm excited to
26:16
Speaker 1: see what they do next week when you're talking the
26:18
Speaker 1: preview podcast, because they're gonna have their hands or their
26:20
Speaker 1: work cutout for him against those receivers down there, Yes
26:24
Speaker 1: they are, and you know, great start to the season.
26:26
Speaker 1: Now it's time to build on it. You got the
26:28
Speaker 1: Titans coming into town to loomin Field. Twelves, get out there.
26:33
Speaker 1: It is time to represent all right. That was Hawk
26:39
Speaker 1: Talk Recap edition. I'm Michael Bambas. Wouldn't ask to Choby.
26:43
Speaker 1: The Seahawks beat the Colts twenty eight to sixteen. We're
26:46
Speaker 1: on the map. That offense looks good, that defense looks good.
26:49
Speaker 1: Let's bring it back week two lists do it again. Man,
26:51
Speaker 1: appreciate you guys taking time out your day to hollo
26:53
Speaker 1: out us. We'll talk to you soon.
