  Speaker 1: place on this team. Powered by Seahawks dot Com. What
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: the folks on? Michael Bumps along with Nasad Shelby and
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: this is Hot Talk recap. Addition, the Patriots taken al
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: to the Seahawks thirty five to thirty came down to
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: the last play like we normally do. Let's get into
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: the trenches with Ray Roberts. It's time to go inside
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: the trenches with former Seahawk Ray Roberts, Gray Thriller on
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: Sunday Night Football. How you feeling, man, I'm feeling a
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: little bit tired. Is a long night, you know on
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: the radio, and uh, you know, the motions were up
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: and down with that game, and then also trying to
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: bring some energy to the stadium for the team. But
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: then it's it's great to wake up too and no
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: great to wake up two. And it really felt like
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: the Seahawks had control of the game until that very
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: last drive. What do you think we learned about these
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: guys on Sunday? Well, I think what we've learned about
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: this team just in these first two games is that
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: on offset, they are a juggernaut. They are well primed,
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: everyone seems prepared. Russell is just like a you know,
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: we said last night, he's like a like a cheap code.
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: I think I think now they call it the X
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: factor on on Madden, and his star lights up and
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: he just can't be wrong until every seems like every
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: decision he makes when he chooses to pull the ball
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: down and run, when he chooses to move around in
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: the pocket and buy more time when he slows the ball,
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: and rhythm when he shows a short, medium long like
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: he just seems to be on point with every single
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: thing he's doing. And then I love the way that
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: the team is using the running backs. It seems like
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: in previous years it always seemed like three or four
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: or five games into the season before Pete Carroll had
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: to have a talk with the offensive coordinator. Then they
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: get their identity down and then they go on with
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: the season. This year, they just hit the ground running.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: They know exactly who they are, exactly what they're trying
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: to get done. And then on the defensive side, man like,
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: they're trying to work some things out. They got some
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: new pieces, they're trying to figure out what's going on
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: with the you know who can make plays in the
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: defensive line. But they showed tremendous resilience last night just
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: being on the field for long drive. That last drive
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: was really long. Guys were gassed, a little bit tired,
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: but somehow, some way they made a play. Well, this
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: segment is called in the Trenches with Ray Robbers, So
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: let's get in these trenches real quick. Ray, how did
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: you feel about the offensive lin's performance last night? You know,
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: I thought they played really well, you know, really to see.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: There was some pressure here and there, but that's to
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: be expected. I felt that Damian Lewis with all the
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: different looks that Bill Belichick defense can give you. They
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: had defensive lineman lining up over him, dbs lining up
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: over him, linebackers lining up over him. They're running all
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: types of games and stuff like that. So, h there
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: was a lot to try to confuse that side of
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: the ball, and for the most part, he held up.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: He gave up the sack I think where he thought
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: that there was a game going to be played and
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: he was trying to pass the guy off to the center,
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: but it was just an inside rush. And then he
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: had he had a couple holding calls, but um, that's
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: a rookie thing. That's a that's a you know, getting
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: out of your college mindset thing, and those are things
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: that he can fix in practice. But overall, I thought
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: the offensive line played well. I thought I thought they
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: could have even run the ball a little more. But
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: but I liked the way they're coming in rounding into shape. Yeah,
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: I feel like those issues with Damian Lewis you mentioned it,
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: those are just rookie mistakes. That's part of the learning curve.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: Rights as the season goes along, you expect him to
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: eliminate those mistakes. Yeah, you know, so like when you're
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: you know, I didn't. I wasn't a holding call, dude,
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: I had My My family was fall starts. But uh,
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: but in college you tend to be you know, when
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: you're a guy like him, you're you're a little bit
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: more dominant and stronger than the guys you play against.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: It you used to just grabbing him and throwing them
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: to the ground, or in pass detection you just kind
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: of grab a hold of him and hold him in
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: place to throw him to the ground. And uh, and
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: you get you can kind of get away with it.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: But in NFL, those are holding calls, and so uh,
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: you know, I remember when I did the scouting report
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: on him after they got drafted. The one thing I
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: said was that he tends to grab a lot, which
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: then ends up being holding calls in NFL. And so
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: that's just a matter of coaching a technique, retraining your
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: your your uh, the way you go about playing the game,
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: the way you think it through, and then uh, you know,
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: relearning that technique. It's not a thing that I think
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: it's going to be a long term issue. The guy's
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: just too good of a player. Uh. And and he's
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: around a bunch of other guys and Solari that can
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: teach him and coach them up. I'm with you, I'm
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: with you. So the Hawks had a more balanced attack
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: last night, thirty runs, twenty eight passes. Is this more
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: of the type of game we should expect going forward
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: with this football club? You know, in the pregame show,
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: Paul Morriers said that he thought the team had the offense,
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: had come to a place where they could just be
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: whoever they needed to be based on the team they
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: were planning. And my response was, well, they have to
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: like show that they could run the ball first before
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: they can say that, and I think last night they
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: did a good job of showing that they that they
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: can be effective in the run game, to the point
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: where if they're planning a team where the run game
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: seems to be the thing you lean on, then they
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: can lean on that. And if they need to throw
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: it then obviously Russell con throw it doesn't mean to
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: do this like over completion percentage right now and what
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: is it nine touchdowns or whatever? It is only seven
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: in completion. So they are getting to that place, I
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: think going into the rest of the season where they
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: can really game plan for which now they want to
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: come with. If they want to drop back and throw
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: it thirty times, or if they want to have it
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: more balanced like they had it last night. I feel
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: confident now watching this game that they can do the
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: things that Paul said that they could do in the
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: Free Game show. Right, it's all about being versatile. Well,
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: what's the defense giving you? They give me the run,
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: run the rock, they give you the past, you throw
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: the football, and I'm with you. I think that's kind
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: of where they're at right now. But this thing all
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: centers around Russell Wilson. Now, you've watched him for the
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: past several years, you've seen his development. Is this the
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: best Russell Wilson you've seen? I think it's the best
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: that we've seen because you know, what I think really
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: has unlocked Russell more than any of this stuff about
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: want him to be more aggressive with the ball and
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: all this other kind of stuff, is that they finally
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: finally gave him the keys to the car without strings
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: attached to it. Like before, I think they were like, Okay,
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: go do your thing, but we're gonna like, if it's
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: not quite right, we're gonna pull these keys back. And
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: this time they just said, dude, this is your car.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: You can put new wheels on it, you can put
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: it cereal in it, you can tip the windows, you
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: can put a pin stripe on it. Whatever it is,
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: these keys are yours. And I feel like that's what
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: has unlocked Russell because when you see him out there now,
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: he plays as free as I've ever seen him play.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: Like his decision making is clear. Uh, you know, when
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: he's making calls at the line of scrimmage, like I
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: said before, when he decides to step up in the
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: pocket or scramble or what have you, all of that
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: stuff is so on point. And I think that, you know,
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: for him, it has to feel great because, like he said,
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: this is what he's trained for his entire life. This
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: is the self talk that he's had with himself forever,
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: and I think this is really going to allow him
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: to unlock whatever else he needed to have to really
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: get people to see that this dude is an elite
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: player and right now, in this moment, he may be
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: the best quarterback in the NFL. Ray. When I got
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: the keys in my car, I put a spoiler on
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: that thing, a body kid, I lowered it, put some
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: rams on it. That's all right, That's where Russell's at.
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: He's I'm accustomed in this. It's mine now, I'm going
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: to customize this thing. Yeah, I remember my dad gave
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: me my cart, and there was so many parameters on it.
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: I could only have so many people in it. I
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: could only drive a certain thus an hour, I could
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: only go to certain places at a certain dip time.
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: And then when I then, when I finally got to
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: just do what I wanted to do, I felt like
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: I had a car. You know, it wasn't his part
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: that I was using. Yeah, sir, he's whipping it. Now.
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: So let's talk about Quandre Dicks. Now, you played in football.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: I feel like it's the golden age of football where
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: you could be nasty, big hits and all that stuff.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: Now Quandre got kicked out of a game over a
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: hit or a tackle, whatever you want to call it.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: That I feel like this would have been shrugged off
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: maybe six to eight years ago. Do you feel like
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: a disqualification was merited. No, I don't think a disqual
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: I can understand why they may disqualify a person just
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: because they're trying to deter people from from doing it.
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: But I think, you know, in the maybe that's something
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: that you do in college, but an NFL, I just don't.
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: I think you can get a penalty, he can get
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: a fine, and he can keep playing of it because
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: that has the ability to really impact the game. I
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: think it's it's unbelievably hard on defenders nowadays to figure
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: out how to hit someone, especially when you have a
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: mentality of a physical You want to play physical, you
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: want to send messages to guys when you hit them,
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: and it's really hard to do that nowadays because you
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: have to be so precise and how you tackle them.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: And before you could, you could tackle people with reckless
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: of badness. You just fly up in there with everything
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: you have, and now you have to come up and
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: be thinking like, man, like, how is he gonna, you know,
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: take me on so that I can get my head
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: in the right place so I can hit him with
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: my shoulder, so that I don't hit him with my
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: face in it. So it's just like, I don't know
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: how you play the game as physical as you want
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: to play it and then still have to think to
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: all of that as you're trying to make a tackle
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: it and that includes you know, a play like a
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: bang bang play like that down the field for safety
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: or if you're sacking the quarterback. I mean, nowadays you
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: have about six inches that you can hit on the quarterback.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: Without getting the penalty, and so I just don't understand
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: how how defenders can adjust to that. And I just
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: don't expect these penalties to go away because it's it's
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: it's part of this everybody's moving at the same time.
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: So how do you even if you take on the
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: right angle, the guy you're tackling can adjust his angle
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden you have a penalty.
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: So it's it's just a really tough call. Yeah, it's tough,
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: and I'm a receiver and I feel for these defenders.
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: It makes it tough on them. It allows the game
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: to be wide open when it comes to throwing the
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: football and people want to see points being put on
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: the on the scoreboard. But at the same time, you're
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: making their safeties and linebackers, anyone on defense, you're making
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: their job that much more tougher. So guys just have
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: to adjust. I guess you know you gotta do what
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: you have to do. Mike. Is that when I mean
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: didn't mean to cut you off. It's when when they
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: first put all these rules out. They're also the ability
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: for offensive players to be penalized for leading with the helmet,
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: and I don't I've never recalled here in one even
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: like the way a guard pulls and takes on a linebacker,
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: if he leaves with his head, it's supposed to have
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: telling the on the guard, so they have to leave
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: with their hands. And I haven't seen one single offensive
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: player of flags for leading with leading with their helmet,
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: and so it's just really interesting how and when they
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: choose to use that let that flag of that rule.
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: Now see I'm no scientists, but football is again of angles,
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: and when you are running, your body naturally goes into
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: a forty five degree angle. That's the power angle. You
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: don't tackle somebody standing straight up, you don't block somebody
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: standing straight up, So naturally there's gonna be a tilt
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: in your body, you know. So it's almost impossible for
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: these guys to keep their head out of it. And
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: if they do try to keep their hat out of it,
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: there's gonna be a lot of mistackles, a lot of
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: miss blocks. Well, you know, we all we have that saying,
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: uh say it with your chest. Uh, It's okay to
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: say things with your chest, but it ain't good to
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: block and tackle with your chair. You're gonna go home
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: with us, you know what, I'm saying, you're gonna have
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: You're gonna have Roddelle printed on your chest. Okay, let's
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: talk about the last play of the game. Right, we
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: were one of the left ones. We got to be there,
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: We got to experience it. Um Cam Newton's down on
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: the one or the two yard line, they'd get into
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: their big boy formation. Everyone knows Cam is going to
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: run this football. Walk us through that last play and
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: what you saw. Yeah, you know, I came home last
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: night and I looked at all of the touchdown runs
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: that Cam Newton had and I was trying to see
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: how our defense played it, and they kind of played
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: it straight up and they and on this last play,
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: Bobby Wagner, I'm sure, like Paul said, you know, had
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: a call to make where he could plant the d
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: line to the right or to the left, and uh
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: and so on this last play, he slanted the defensive
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: line to the defense's right, which is to the left
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: side of the defense where Cam Newton was running. And
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: then doing that, uh, Lja Carrier was able to if
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: you watch the tackle over him, the tackle went straight
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: ahead and because LJ slanted, he kind of got the
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: edge on that tackle was able to stand in that
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: gap where where Cam was running. But at the same time,
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: Lane o' hill came up and took on the fullback
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: deep into the backfield, So it really restricted the lane
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: for Cam to run. And then the one thing I
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: noticed out of those touchdown runs that Cam had that
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: was different than this play was what Bobby Wagner did.
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: So on the other plays, the running touchdowns, he kind
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: of hesitated and bounced the place for a minute to
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: kind of see where Cam was going, and then he
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: tried to go make the play and he missed both times.
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: And then this time he attacked the backside gap. So
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: when you're playing against an offense that pulls guards to
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: stuff a lot, if you get into the hip of
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: that guard, it'll take you right to the ball most
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: of the time. Well, Bobby Wagner on that play got
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: right into the hip of the guard to where the
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: guard felt him had to stop and hold Bobby up. Well,
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: that also restricted the lane. It gave them a one
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: least body going through the hole. And so the three
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: of those guys together really collapsed the lane that Cam
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: Newton had been creating for him in those previous two
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: touchdown those previous touchdowns, and so if you looked at
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: the play man it was well executed by Bobby, by
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: LJ and by Hill. They all did a great job
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: with just converging on that one spot to deep in
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: the backfield. For that Cam Newton couldn't get his speed up,
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: he couldn't jump over the top, there was no place
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: for him to go. The play was dead from the
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: moment the ball step. It's beautiful when it all comes
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: together like that, Bobby making the call, LANEO sat in
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: the edge, LJ getting low, getting low. I mean just
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: the way that Cam flips end over end. Let you
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: know this how low LJ got And I feel like
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: LJ needed that play. Ray. I mean, he's struggle last year,
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: he's getting the start this year. He's progressing slowly, but
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: this might be the play that really makes him tap
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: into another place in his brain and say, you know what,
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: I can do this now, let's let's go get nasty
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: and take this to the next level. Yeah. I think,
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: you know, I've been a little bit hard on him.
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: You know, I just expected that. You know, I think
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: he had a decent camp and he came in in
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: great shade. Even though he you know, he missed a
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: lot of time last year, and I'm sure mentally he
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: was probably struggling. Uh, you know, having not played last year,
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: that sometimes being a healthy scratch. And I know, as
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: a as a former first round draft pick myself, a
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: lot of that stuff weighs on you because the expectations
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: are high, you know. And you can say that it doesn't,
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: but it does. And uh. And so I'm sure he
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: came into the season really wanting to flash and show
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: that he was worthy the first round draft pick. And
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: then the first game, you know, he had an early
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: pressure on the quarterback and we fought like, oh, okay,
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: Lj's gonna do the same. That didn't hear a whole lot.
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: And then yesterday I thought he played tough. Uh. You know,
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: he filled some gaps on some run plays here and there,
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: But that play may be a play that really unlocks
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: the confidence and maybe the play that really unlocked him
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: to be able to just play free and loose and fast,
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: uh and strong the way that they thought he would play.
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: And so I don't know if he's ever gonna be
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: like a dominant defensive lineman, uh and have you know,
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: double digit sacks and all that. But I think he
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: could be a very good solid you know, uh, you know,
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: balance player against the run, in against the past. So
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: I was happy for him. It was cool to see
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: is the teammates celebrating with him, and every teammate that
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: was interviewed last night mentioned how excited they were for LJ.
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: So that that means a lot in the locker room.
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: I'm sure it means a lot to him and hopefully
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: that'll be that'll be easy the play that kind of
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: kick starts his play with Seattle. Hopefully it does. Ray
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: as usual, appreciate you taking time out of your busy day.
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: You guys are just listen to Big Ray in the trenches.
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: We'll see we'll talk to you soon. Man, Yes, sir,
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: all right, Nas talks to two and oh man two
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: and no baby, it's always good. It's always great to
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: start off the year. Two and oh victory. Monday is
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: always a good thing here at the vMac. You know,
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: I'm not gonna lie to you, at least from my perspective,
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: Monday's always tough after a loss. So yeah, anytime the
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: boys get it done on Sunday, it's a great way
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: to start your week. And the lessons you learn you
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: if the game wasn't perfect, it's great to learn those
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: lessons in a win. A win is a win, and
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: you'll take it anyway that you can. But we're gonna
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: talk about how they got that win in our next segment.
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: What had happened was see what had happened at first,
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: What had happened was unharked knock. What had happened was
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: we're gonna tell you exactly how they got this w
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: last night. Now, the first thing that happened is that
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: offense came out. What second play of the game, pick
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: six wasn't Russell's fault hit Greg greg Olson's hands. Um
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: Newland took care of it. But after that that offense
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: got rolling and they were firing on all cylinders. It
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: was fun to watch NaNs oh from the jump, honestly
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: like that for them to bounce back after that first drive.
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: You mentioned that passing ten from Greg Olson's super uncharacteristic
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: Greg is one of the most sure handed guys in
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: the NFL. Unfortunately doesn't happen. It's to pick six from
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: the jump. But you know Russell Wilson, his demeanor, he
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: was calm, there was no worry, no panic on that sideline,
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: and honestly, they were pretty much unstopable. The only things
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: that stopped them on Sunday were penalties against themselves. Wasn't
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: anything the Patriots are doing to them when they did
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: not get behind the sticks or anything like that. They
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: were not touched. I mean it was you know, touchdown,
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: plant touchdown, planning, touchdown, touchdown, plant, touchdown. So I mean
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: in all of the drives were they punted, they had penalties,
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: and that's kind of a crippled the drive. So if
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: they weren't their worst enemy, they were unstoppable on Sunday,
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: I agree with you. A matchup that I loved watching
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: DK or Stefan Gilmore. Gilmore, you know, he tried to
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: he tried to to big brother him. He was like, look, man,
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: I'm the reigning defensive MVP in the league. I'm Stefan Gilmore.
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna follow you all game. And DK stepped up
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: to the challenge from the very first snap. You kind
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: of felt that you were the one who pointed it out.
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: You're like, hey, man, watch DK and Stefan Gilmore. They're
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: getting at it. It was two alpha's going at each other,
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: and I feel like DK won that battle. Oh for sure.
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: And what I loved about it too is it was
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: on every play. It was on sometimes was more aggressive
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: on run plays because DK Metcalf's a big dude and
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: he takes pride in his runblocking ability. And you know,
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: step On Gilmore, like you said, trying to big brother him.
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: He was talking all game long and DK was like, Man,
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: I'm not a little brow no more. You're not gonna
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: put your hands on me no more. I'm big now
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: you can you can't do that stuff to me, and
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: he was mo uhuhn, disrespect in my house like that.
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: So it was great to see DK step up and
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: he was incredibly physical and like you guys said on
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: Danny and gall Out this morning, he threw step On
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: Gilhm out the club the sideline, he said, get out.
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: So I just love to see the fire and then
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: the pump up the sideline and everyone's juice about it.
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: So DK is definitely taking a step when you take
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: it to the former Defensive Player of the Year, step
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: On Gilmore, one of the best cornerbacks in the league.
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: So it's great to see from DK standpoint. Now two
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: years in a row, Russell Wilson is out the gates.
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: Bawling nine touchdowns, only eleven in completion so far this season.
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: I don't know that for sure stat but I'm gonna
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: go ahead and say about twenty five quarterbacks had at
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: least eleven incompletions on Sunday. So Hustle is playing out
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: of his mind. We spoke to Pete earlier. He says
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: there's a lot of conviction in his throws. He's not
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: necessarily throwing it harder, but he just knows what he's doing.
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: He's he's settled into this new role that he has
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: because it feels like they're gonna ride him. They're gonna
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: let him do his thing now. It was even when
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: he came to run versus past, but it felt like
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: they came out the gate high throwing the football and
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: Russell was his executing at a high level. Well, yeah,
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: you're right. Like you guys, you and Ray were talking
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: about giving him the keys of the car. He really
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: has it and he's just so comfortable and when things
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: start breaking down and stepping up, like the first touchdown
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: of the game where he hit Tyler Lockett in the
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: back of the end zone, I mean that throw was
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: on the money. He had pressure coming towards him, steps
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: up in the pocket, kind of sidearm slings it, throws
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: a fastball to Tyler Locket and just the command he
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: has over this offense and this team is on a
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: different level right now. So those are the positives. Here's
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: a couple negative, man, Marky's Blair. I got hit by
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: friendly fire. Looked like kJ kind of rolled into his knee.
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: That force Ugo to come in, Diggs gut kicked out.
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: Despite all the adversity that these dudes faced, they found
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: a way to execute when it really happened. What's that
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: impact going to be without Marky's Blair out there. It's tough, man,
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: It's really tough because Marquise has been one of the
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: big bright spots on this defense so far this year.
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: He came in and just kind of took a hold
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: of that Nickel spot, which you know a lot of
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: people would assume that Ugo Monti was probably gonna get
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: that spot. Marquise Blair was all over it during camp.
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: He had a great camp, played well against Atlanta, was
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: playing well against the Patriots, and the thing that's just
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: it just different because not only is he our sorry nickel,
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: he's our backup safety as well when we're in base
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: So it just kind of takes away some of the
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: other things that we can do. And like there's times
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: where we'd bring in Dime and Lano Hill would come in,
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: so we'd be playing with six defensive back So without
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: Marquise out there definitely kind of alters what you can
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: do back there. Granted, the good thing about the Seahawks
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: is they're incredibly deep and the defensive backfield, So you know,
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: Ugo came in and stepped up great, Lano came in
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: and stepped up, So I'm confident that they're going to
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: be fine to get through it. Obviously hoping for the
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: best for Marquise that it's not a season any injury,
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: but it definitely is a blow to this defense. Yeah
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: it is. But it's also nice to see guys like
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: um dumb Bar Dunbar stepped up at the beginning of
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: the game was rough for him. Mister Tackle could have
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: had a pick six, but it seemed like he settled down,
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: gotten too his groove, stuck with his technique and ended
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: up picking off Kim. For this secondary to take the
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: next level without Marquis Blair, that guy has to continue
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: to take steps in the right direction, and as the
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: season goes along, as he gets healthier, because he mentioned
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: his offseason wasn't the greatest obviously with all that other
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: stuff that was going on, this guy's a key piece
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: of that. He's got to step it up or keep
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: playing at the level he played at last night. Yeah,
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: and he's such an instinctive guy and that's what kind
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: of what he hung his hat on in Washington. He's
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: a big playmaker, he's a ballhawk. He gets after the football.
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: But Watchington, New England. They were kind of going after
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: him to start that game. They started kind of saw
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: him playing off in coverage and they were going after him.
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: And I think that's gonna have a lot. I mean,
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: she killed Griffin has been becoming a lockdown corner on
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: the other side, and we know how good Quentin Dunbar
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: can be. And I just think he's gonna keep getting better.
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: Like he said, he missed some time during camp as
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: well as the offseason he went through, So I think
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: it's week by week he's gonna keep getting better and better.
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: But I totally agree with you one percent for this
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: defensive backfield detect that next step Quintin Dunbar has gotta
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: be a big piece of that. Dunbar has gotta do it.
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: Now we're showing the Seahawks love, but you can't. You
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: can't now show New England love. I mean Cam Newton
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: was playing on another level through for three ninety seven
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: one passing touchdown, carried the rock eleven times for forty
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: nine yards, and two touchdown rushing touchdowns. Thankfully he didn't
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: get three. He got three, it'd be a little it'd
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: be a different Monday over there in vMac Cam Newton
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: and you mentioned it when we were talking last night.
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: All these teams passed on Cam. They passed on him.
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: They thought he was done. Dude through it forty four times.
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: They lost the game, but he let the league know
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: that he's still a force to be reckoning with. Oh
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: he's still the MVP version of Camon we saw in
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: twenty fifteen is every bit apparent in twenty twenty. The
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: man was the other thing. Two people knocked his accuracy.
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: He was accurate last night. I mean they had so
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: much max max protection, they had a lot of just
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: two man routes, but Cam was being patient reading his keys.
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: And the Duke is still ball out I'm happy we
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: don't have to see him again this year, but the
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: rest of the league has put on notice and he's
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: coming for people's ads man, every team that passed on him,
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: He's coming for you, that's for sure. Yeah, and he
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: almost won the game. He threw a ball to Julian
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: Elman in the end zone, which was a little behind him,
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: but Eleman looked like he got two hands on it.
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: Probably should have made that catch. I'm not a New
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: England fan, but I love seeing Baller's ball, especially when
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: the Hawks still beat a win. They ball so big
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: ups to Cam, big ups to New England. That team
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: is better than people think if they can stay healthy.
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: Even when all the guys they have out, know what,
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: eight guys opted out because of COVID E what all
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: those guys, They're still a force to be reckoned with.
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: Y'all better watch out. I'm better watch out. The Pats
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: are coming all right. Now, let's talk about our playmakers.
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: Who was balling out? Makers? Who we got playmakers? When
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: we talk about playmakers, first guy, we got to talk
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: about mister Russell Wilson twenty one for twenty eight two
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: night eight yards, five touchdowns. This defense allowed four receiving touchdowns.
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: Last year, Russell put five up on him in one game.
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: I didn't think he could play even better than he
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: did last week. I'd take last week performance every day
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: of the week. Now I'm like, okay, I'll take this
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: week as well. He continues to get better. He's in control,
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: he's calm, he's a competitor, he's never down. I mean,
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: what else can we say about this dude. I mean,
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: it's every week you're finding a new adjective to describe
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: how good of a football player is. I mean, he's
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: the best quarterback in the league. I'll come out and
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: say it. He should win the MVP. I think that's
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: where he's trending this year. We'll come back to this
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: at the end of the year and mark these words.
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: He's gonna be the MVP. But honestly, it's it's so
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: fun to watch two because you mentioned the Patriots gave
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: up four touchdowns wide receivers all last season, and he
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: threw up four on Sunday. And the thing about it
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: is as good as he played against Atlanta. We know
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: Atlanta's defense is struggling, and they put up They gave
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: up another forty points to Dallas yesterday. You were playing
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: the New England Patriots this week. You were going up
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: against Bill Belichick's defense, the probably one of the most
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: well coached teams in the NFL, and Russell still got busy.
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: So I don't know what else to say about the man.
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: It's just pure greatness, greatness. We're watching it. Another playmaker,
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: Chris Carson, has seventeen carries for seventy two yards. Still
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: doesn't have a rushing touchdown, but he does have three
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: receiving touchdowns. That three receptions for thirty six yards. He
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: talks about his hands all day now. The touchdown that
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: he made was one of the toughest catches in football
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: over the shoulder, drops right into the pocket. Chris Carson
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: is showing that he's versatile. Oh yeah, as a running back.
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know how many running backs in
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: the NFL make that catch. I mean the elite ones do.
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: That's like that's a Marshall Falk type kind of catch
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: where he's been stride over the shold and it was
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: towards the back of the end zone, so he had
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: that back line still still got two feet in And
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: Chris Carson is definitely showing how versable he can be.
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: And it's gonna be really big for this offense, especially
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: now that we're throwing the football more over one hundred
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: total yards. You'll take that every single week. Next playmaker,
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: DK Metcalf four catches ninety two yards, one huge touchdown
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: against the best corner in the NFL. Right now, DK
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: Metcalf is stepping into He's a he was a rookie
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: last year. Now he's stepping into that star right, not
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: a superstar, but he's stepping into the star level when
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: it comes to being an NFL football player. What do
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: you like out of this dude? Well, I mean, first
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: of all, we talked about it a little bit before
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: about his physicality. But another the big knock on DK
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: when he started, when he was drafted was he can't
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: run routes. He can just run a go route. He
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: can just run a go route. Well that is not
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: the case anymore. And I'll play his touchdown from yesterday
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: and we can talk about it. Four man rushed by
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: the Patriots, Russ seven step drop is gonna let it
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: fly deep, got a man out here. It's Medcalf reaches
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: up thanks the catch, touchdown? Say Hawks, how in the world.
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: Did he catch up? Had a man all over him,
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: and he still reaches back, catches a bump for six.
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: The Seahawks are a point away from tying it up
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: again from fifty four yards and absolutely perfect rainbow to
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: DK Medcalf, Now bump. What I loved about this, And
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: you're the receiver guru, so you can help me out
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: a little bit. So he's got he's inside, he's a
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: number two right there. He's probably about splitting the difference
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: between the hash in the numbers. He's got Stefan Gilmour
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: on him playing outside leverage, and he's gonna run a
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: corner route. But what I loved about it is he
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: stems him inside all the way to the hash, looks
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: over his left shoulder, then puts his foot in the
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: ground and runs that corner route and then doesn't show
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: his hands until the ball is there on the best
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: dB in the league for a touchdown. So you can't
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: tell me the can't run routes. You just coached him up.
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: You're the guru today. That's perfect. He got inside, leaned
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: on him, gave him all the goodies and pumped it down.
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: I think there was a play on the sideline I
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: forgot who it was. It might have been Tyler Lockett
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: on that third and one where Russell missed him in
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: the fourth quarter. Tyler didn't pump it down. He threw
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: his hands out there, slowed down, probably took like three
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: or four strides with his hands extended trying to catch
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: that football. It's the little things that make the big
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: plays happen. And all the things you described were all
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: the little things that need to be dumb to make
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: that play happen. A lot of guys they get rushed,
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: they get impatient, they don't get their depth, they don't
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: sell it at the top of the route, they don't
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: pump it down. D K put it all together. And
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: then even when he cut the ball, Gilmore was still
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: in good position. He still could have got a hand
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: on the ball. He was all over his back. He
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: shrugged him off. He said, now I'm a big boy
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: getting that weight room. DK conteinues to impress me. And
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: he also had to play on the sideline where he
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: stiffed on the heck out of Gilmour. I mean, he's
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: just he's turning into a big, nasty receiver, and that's
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: what this football team needs for sure. He's he's the
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: next TiO type guy and I can't wait to see it. Yeah, sir,
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: next playmaker. Jamal Adams had ten tackles on one tackle
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: for Laws, two QB hits, and it was it was
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: a quiet ten tackles, right, It wasn't like last week.
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: It was a quiet sack. It was a quiet tackle
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: for Laws, even though Juliet Ellman had a heck of
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: a day and a couple of those players were against him.
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: What I like about Jamal Adams is postgame conference he's
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: admitted like, hey, look, I made some mistakes. I gotta
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: get better, you know, but you know that you're gonna
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: get everything that you possibly can out of this dude.
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: Jamal Adams two weeks in a row where he played
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: really good football. Yeah you mentioned it. I mean it
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: was it was probably two plays over the middle that
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: Edelman got kind of got behind him a little bit,
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: and obviously with Digs out of the game, that kind
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: of shifted where guys were in the secondary. But he
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: was still very active on his one sack of Cam Newton,
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: Cam Newton walks into the end zone that was touchdown
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: saving play. Still very active when he blits. So this school,
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: got a couple of QB hits, and he's a guy
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: that's still before every stamp. I'm scanning the field. I'm
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: looking where number thirty three is. So the sky's the
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: limit for Jamal? Where's three three? All right? Now we
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: are going to go to the wide receiver round up
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: talked about DK metcalf forecast is ninety two yards. The
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: guy who got the past game going is no other
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: than Tyler Locketts. Seven cash, the sixty seven yards and
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: a touchdown. And I saw a little attitude out there
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: out out the man. He's getting up, talking a little crap,
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: smiling that defenders. He's the catalyst. I'm gonna say this
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: every single week. If Tyler Lockett doesn't get this offense going,
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: I think they can get going. But it's always nice
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: when we have someone you can depend on. Yep, And
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: it's every it's every week he's missed a reliable seven
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: receptions on eight targets. You'll never find a week where
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: he it's usually eighth for eight or seven or seven
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: or six for six. You will never find a week
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: I feel like where he's where there's maybe one or
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: two extra target where he doesn't come down with it.
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: He's miss her consistent. Like you said, the catalyst gets
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: in the end zone. He makes our offense go for sure.
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: Next up Demo David Moore. Three catches, forty eight yards
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: and one heck of a touchdown. That is what Demo does.
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: He goes up top, he makes the tough catch, and
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: he shows his athleticism, like for him to be backpedaling.
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: The ball was kind of low, drops in front of him,
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: gets his hands on him, one foot in, taps the pylon,
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: then swings that foot around and gets it in by centimeters.
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: Demo might be low key, like the top five most
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: athletic dudes on this football team. Yeah, there's a reason
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: he saw on this team. I think when we signed
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: Philip Door said, I think everyone was kind of like, Okay,
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure if Demo is going to make the team.
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: He does a lot for this team. He's good in
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: the pump return game. We obviously know he can run
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: a go route and make him play deep. He's this
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: kind of guy that when you see Demo in the
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: statue he made a big play. It might he's not
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: gonna get ten eleven catches for one hundred and tommy yards,
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: but he's gonna make a couple of plays and he
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: will make you pay at least once a game. And
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: it's good to see demost Wag getting out there and
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: doing his thing. That's what he does. Next up, Chris
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: Carson had three catches for thirty six yards and that
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: touchdown when we just talked about. Next up, Freddie Swaying,
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: let's go, yster out there. The run after the catch.
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: When they drafted him, that's what I saw them all.
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: So I'm like, when he gets the ball in his hands,
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: he can go, and that's what we saw. They put
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: him on a shallow they were in man coverage, they
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: got caught up in the mesh. He catches the ball,
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: gets his knees up, scores his first touchdown, and he
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: said he's going to wrap it up, send it home
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: to mom and dad. Good move. Oh of course, Hey,
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: Mama raised you right. If you're thinking that way, man,
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: that's awesome, especially with that football. I was just happy
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: because you know, sometimes guys get so excited they throw
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: the ball in the stands, they spike it. But now
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: he was smart. He caught. He said, Nah, this ball's
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: coming home with me. Yeah, hold on to that thing,
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: young fellow carlos I had two for fifteen. Will Disley
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: had one catch for nine. Greg Olsen had one target.
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: We're not even gonna bring up what happened in that
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: target anymore. We're moving on from that. Yeah, they're moving
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: on all right. Next Sam, we're going to the coach's corner.
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: We're gonna break down LJ. Collier's game winning tackle Newton
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: from the shotgun Johnson, the fullback wings on the left side.
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: Newton's gonna run the ball. He gets hit, He flipped
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: up in the air. He doesn't get there. Clock ticks down.
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: It's all zeros who play by the Seahawks defense. They
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: throw their helmets, They are going nuts on the field.
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: Cam Newton the first time tonight, I believe they've stopped
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: him dead in his tracks. And I believe it was
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: Bobby Wagner who got there to do it. One an
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: end to one a game. The Seahawks win thirty five
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: to thirty over the Patriots. Wow. Now Ray described it beautifully.
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: Bobby walks up to the line, puts the D line
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: on the slant lane. O'hill sets the edge on the
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: running back, forces them inside. LJ. Collier gets super low
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: flips Cam Newton end over end and lj's game interview
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: was awesome. I loved it. He goes, hey, my leader
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: told me to slam. I'm just gonna slam. He made
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: the call. Now we know that Bibby just didn't say,
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: forget what the coaches are saying. I'm gonna I'm gonna
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: do my thing. But that just shows how bought in
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: he's into his leadership to where he thinks that he
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: made that call. But that play I think is going
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: to help LJ next week in the following week. He
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: needed to have some type of success. Being that number one,
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: that first round draft pick. There's a lot of pressure.
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: Ray talked about the post game show. There's a lot
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: of pressure. The team chooses you first, and anybody they
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: come chosen, they picked you first, so they expect you
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: to perform. Maybe he's turning the corner here for sure.
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: And I think he's such a nice kid too, so
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: I'm like, I'm really rooting for him. And like you said,
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: it's all about confidence they talk about in basketball. Man,
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: you're struggling and you get to free throw line, you
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: just need to see the ball go through the net, right,
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: So it's the same translates to football. LJ just need
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: to make a play, and he chose the biggest stage
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: on Sunday night football a whole nation watching, makes an
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: enormous play. Love that for the kid. Lano Hill stepped
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: up set the edge. And I love what Ray talked
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: about because I was watching that last night too. Because
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: if you look at the play side guard so on
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: the defense is right. He was gonna come off double
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: team and he was gonna go up to Bobby on
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: the second level, but Bobby shot the backside a gap
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: and because he was there, the pulling guard, like Ray said,
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: had to stop because if he continues to pull, he
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: might get a piece of LJ. And then Cam has
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: another lane to walk in the end zone. He comes backside,
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: the pulling guard has to pause and get get a
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: piece of Bobby. LJ continues to come down hard and
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: the plays made. It's a beautiful thing when it all
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: happens the way it's supposed to happen. But what's the
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: greatest formation in football? Nass the greatest formation, I think
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: it's the victory formation. Bump Here comes the Seahawk offense
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: onto the field and the Vikings defense crunching out there
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: knowing that one meal down and the Seahawks are gonna
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: wind the clock down and women this one. It's the
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: victory formation on Hawk Talk. Victory formation that means the
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: Hawks gotta done, and they gotta done when it counted
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: the most. They came out hot. At some point we
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: thought the game was a rat. But when you have
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: Cam and Bill Belichick and those guys, they're gonna make
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: it interesting. End of the day. They might have given
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: up a bunch of yards. Cam might have thrown the
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: ball all over the football field, but when they got
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: down to the goal line it was time to make
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: a play, they stepped up. Yep, like you said, man,
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: it's it's everybody to grass. He talks about that, you
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: defend every blady grass to the last possible second. Backs
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: against the wall. One play and especially like that in football,
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: one yard, go get it. Both teams know what you're
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: gonna do, especially when they know Cam's gonna run the football,
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: they say, go ahead and stop it. Seahawks defense steps up,
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: stops it, gets a victory. Their defense stepped up in
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: the offense continues to play at a high level. It
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: might not be the best offense in the NFL. But
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: they are showing that they can get it done in
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: the run game and in the past game. If they
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: can eliminate the penalties on a couple of those drives,
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: maybe they give fourteen more points out of this dual.
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, for sure. I mean those are just those
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: are just drive killers. You had like a couple of
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: false starts holdings. When you're first in fifteen first and
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: twenty second and twenty it's hard to come back from that,
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: and for any team in the NFL. So if they
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: can get out of their own way, that there's the
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: ceiling for this offense is through the roof. Another way
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: they got it done. We mentioned earlier that they tossed
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: the ball man five touchdowns against the defense. They gave
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: up four passing touchdowns to receivers last year. That has
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: to that's got to sting a little bit. Do you
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: think the pagers know that, Hey, we gave up four
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: and now we just gave up five and is one game.
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: There's no way they don't know that. And I'm telling
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: you something. Bill Belichick is serving up some humble pie
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: this morning. I would not want to be in the
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: defensive meeting room for those guys. At all today because
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: that's gonna be a rough one. It's gonna be a
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: rough one end of the day. These guys are too
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: un though. I don't care how they did it. It
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: might have been pretty to some might have been ugly
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: as others. When it shows upon a stat sheet, they're
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: two and oh they're doing their thing. Happy for these dudes.
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: Next week the Cowboys are coming to town. Another challenge
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: that they can get off this thing. Three and oh.
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: It's going to be a nice start for these Seahawks.
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: It's been real. I'm Michael Bumpus along with my guy
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: Nasa Choby. That was a hot talk recap. Dallas is
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: coming into town. We'll talk to you guys soon. Have
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: a good one.
