Seahawks Defense Stymies Mahomes, JSN's National MVP Conversation Starts Now · Sea Hawkers Podcast: for Seattle Seahawks fans

0:10
Hello and welcome to the Sea Hawkers Podcast.
0:14
I'm your host, Brandan Schulze, and tonight I am joined by my good
0:19
buddy Adam Emmert as our Seahawks on Sunday night football down the
0:25
undefeated, the previously undefeated Kansas City Chiefs 20 to three.
0:30
How you doing, buddy?
0:31
Adam: Yeah, the recently defeated Chiefs in a game where the Seahawks
0:35
came out and dominated front to start, like you said, 20 to three.
0:41
I can't think of the last time Patrick Mahomes has been held
0:44
to three points in a game in…
0:47
Not only that, but, I don't know if you heard, Brandan, but,
0:50
like, Kenneth Walker was back.
0:52
He was back in the house.
0:53
How'd he do?
0:53
Brandan: He did in fact play in this game.
0:56
Yeah.
0:56
He averaged an Emanuel Wilson-esque two point yards-
1:00
2.6
1:01
yards per carry.
1:02
Although, that joke might've been funnier, before Emanuel Wilson ran
1:06
for 100 yards and finished with a 4.2
1:10
average yard per carry, including a 21-yard touchdown.
1:14
Adam: Yeah, man.
1:15
He got a lot of that in quit time for the Chiefs.
1:17
You could tell that there came a point where the defense got tired
1:19
of having to hold up to the pounding that they were taking up front.
1:22
And I don't know where you wanna start here, Brandan, but I feel like
1:25
we need to start with the defense and the magnificent performance that Mike
1:29
Macdonald put on against maybe the, one of the greatest quarterbacks of
1:31
all time, one of the greatest play callers of all time in Andy Reid.
1:35
Brandan: Absolutely.
1:36
Starting with the defense, let's talk some Ernest Jones, let's talk some
1:40
Tyrice Knight, because those guys were your leading tacklers for the day.
1:45
Nine for Ernest Jones.
1:47
I feel like I owe Knight an apology for questioning our linebacker depth-
1:51
… 'cause it was, it was oh so good.
1:53
And then Emmanwori was out there as a de facto linebacker/cornerback
1:56
slash- Corner/safety-
1:59
Adam: defensive lineman … /superhero/whatever
2:02
you wanna call him, right?
2:03
Brandan: I was happy to see Emmanwori get a lot of TV time tonight.
2:06
Adam: Absolutely.
2:07
Emmanwori had a massive game in just the way that he was able to affect the pocket
2:12
in the times that he was asked to rush, and then just step for step with Xavier
2:18
Worthy, who's a bonafide blazer, right?
2:20
And he could not get separation from a guy that's probably, what, 30, 40
2:25
pounds bigger than him in Emmanwori.
2:27
Mm-hmm.
2:27
It just shows what a unicorn that he is.
2:30
Just an amazing performance there.
2:32
But I think we would be, derelict on duty if we didn't start this conversation
2:37
with the defensive line, Brandan.
2:39
Oh, yeah.
2:39
Oh my God.
2:41
Byron Murphy had a massive game.
2:43
Go down the list.
2:43
Name every one of them.
2:44
They all freaking were awesome tonight.
2:47
Brandan: Yeah.
2:47
Derick Hall even, he had a night.
2:50
He finished with, the, he had the only sack for the Seahawks-
2:53
Mm … defense, but Byron Murphy, Leonard Williams, all the guys up front.
2:58
I mean, that's, that's what you have to point toward, not just the
3:01
linebackers who I started off with, but that defensive line to holding
3:06
Kenneth Walker to 36 yards on 14 carries- And they didn't allow Mahomes
3:13
a whole lot of time to operate either.
3:15
The, they, they were getting after him.
3:18
He…
3:18
And as good as I thought it was in the first half, I, I felt like they
3:22
were even better in the second half.
3:23
Adam: They were even better in the second half, no doubt about it.
3:25
And despite maybe two to three times in the second half, they did a great
3:30
job on the edge keeping contain.
3:32
And then the Chiefs interior offensive line, which make no mistake about it,
3:37
those are good players up there with Trey Smith and Suamataia and, or however you
3:41
say his name, I'm gonna get it wrong.
3:42
Brandan: You
3:42
nailed it.
3:43
Adam: Yeah.
3:43
And Creed Humphrey, who I know is somebody that, you know, holds a
3:48
special place in your heart, Brandan.
3:50
Brandan: Well, I mean-
3:50
Adam: Fire-
3:51
Brandan: He, he holds, he holds a s- a special place in all Seahawks fans' heart.
3:54
The- Yeah … when D- Dee Eskridge, decided
3:58
Adam: to- I was gonna say a Dee Eskridge-size hole in your heart, right?
4:00
Brandan: Right.
4:00
Adam: Yeah.
4:01
But the interior of the defensive line was amazing.
4:04
The Chiefs, everything was so hard, and that's when you can tell
4:09
when a defense is balling out.
4:10
Like, a, a four-yard gain was excruciating.
4:14
And in the second half, Mahomes couldn't do anything on schedule.
4:17
The only thing they got positive throughout the second half was all
4:21
off-schedule plays that Mahomes was able to, you know, just kinda conjure
4:25
up with his legs and that sort of thing.
4:28
But an absolutely belt to ass dominant smothering performance by this defense.
4:34
It was electric.
4:36
Brandan: Yeah.
4:36
When our Seahawks defense has given up over 80, maybe even 90% touchdowns when
4:42
the team gets inside the red zone, the best way to operate then is to just
4:47
not allow a team inside the red zone.
4:49
As Mike W12 was pointing out, I heard Collinsworth say that it's the
4:52
first time in Mahomes' career- Wow
4:55
that he didn't even get into the red zone.
4:58
Adam: Yeah.
4:58
And look, and the receivers were an absolute non-factor.
5:02
Secondary played lights out.
5:04
And, we'd be remiss to not mention the Montana State alum,
5:08
Ty Okada, with the pick here.
5:10
I do wanna get to the snails comment here.
5:12
36 games without 100-yard rusher, and first time Patrick Starfish
5:16
didn't even make it to the red zone.
5:18
And also, a snail, I wanna make sure that we throw your joke here at the end of it.
5:22
The longest car, K9 run of the night was away from his
5:25
former teammates into the tunnel
5:28
Brandan: There you go.
5:29
Officially, his longest run was seven yards, and I don't know, if maybe one
5:35
of you guys in the betting show would've taken Emanuel Wilson to have a longer run
5:40
on the day than Kenneth Walker if…
5:43
You know, that would've been a pretty funny joke, but it,
5:46
it turned out to be true.
5:47
So, a big thanks- Yep … to The Snail for being a member for 49 months.
5:52
We got Lemon Hawk 1990, a member for 18 months.
5:55
"Go Hawks.
5:56
We look like the team we saw last year tonight."
5:59
K9.
6:00
Ooh, yeah.
6:01
Maybe- Ooh … maybe a little, redemption for John Schneider,
6:06
who was on the sideline.
6:07
He, he can, yeah, rest, rest happy tonight, Adam.
6:11
Adam: Absolutely.
6:12
We got an amazing super chat here from Ryan 911, our live executive producer.
6:16
A 49.99
6:18
super chat.
6:19
Holy smokes, Ryan.
6:21
And, "Make Adam read this.
6:24
Love watching blazing fast Wilson rack up over 100 yards," not so fast my friend,
6:28
it was 100 on the dot, "and a huge TD.
6:31
What a game from him.
6:32
Hope you know it's all outta love.
6:34
Go Hawks."
6:34
Huge win, absolutely.
6:37
Look, Wilson was a- Oh,
6:38
Brandan: it was over 100 yards.
6:40
He had 15 yards receiving, my friend.
6:42
Adam: Oh, okay.
6:43
If you wanna, if you wanna say combined yards, sure.
6:45
All right.
6:46
There you go.
6:46
H- over 100 yards for, Emanuel Wilson, easily his best game as a
6:51
Seahawk, and I think it kinda goes to some of the ways that Fleury, was
6:57
able to kinda work around Wilson and build an offense that, really did
7:02
work well tonight for the most part.
7:05
Brandan: Three points.
7:06
Three points for this Chiefs offense.
7:10
Adam: Yeah.
7:10
Brandan: This is the defense that we just…
7:13
W- they need to operate on their side of the field.
7:16
The offense did their job.
7:17
I know there was some hand-wringing early on about the offense.
7:20
Oh, they're gonna running too much on first down, trying to…
7:24
They flipped field position early on and they kept the- Mm-hmm
7:27
the Chiefs backed up on their side of the field.
7:30
Turnovers, those only happened on the Chief's side of the field.
7:34
Well, there was only one, so it wasn't even turnovers plural.
7:37
So, that I think made a big difference in helping the defense
7:42
operate to where they could, they could just shut things down.
7:47
Adam: Yeah, absolutely.
7:47
I know apparently a ad was auto playing as I'm pulling up stats here.
7:51
That was really bizarre.
7:52
But yeah, th- there's a lot to talk about, regarding the offense,
7:56
and I know early, you know, there was a little bit of hand-wringing about,
7:58
you know, how it was functioning.
8:00
But 11 for 16 on third down tonight, Brandan.
8:03
Like, that is freaking massive.
8:05
And early on I thought Fleury did a nice job, even though I hate bubble
8:09
screens and those sort of things.
8:11
He stretched the defense horizontally with some short passes out wide, which kinda
8:16
loosened up the defense up the middle so that Wilson could be as effective as he
8:19
could be going up the middle, and kinda balancing things out that way, and then
8:24
being able to dial up a JSN hero ball whenever it was that we really needed it.
8:29
I also thought he did a masterful job of- Just sprinkling in the right amount of
8:35
Barner at the exact, exact right time with little Barner screens or little delayed
8:40
releases for Barner out of the backfield that a lot of teams do to us, and it was
8:44
awesome to see him be the complimentary weapon, du jour for the offense
8:49
tonight over, you know, to compliment JSN.
8:52
Brandan: Yeah.
8:52
A, a little bit of a complimentary piece.
8:54
Four catches, 42 yards, 19 was his longest reception.
8:59
JSN was 9 for 150- … and a touchdown, and he almost had two touchdowns.
9:06
He came up just a bit short.
9:08
Another incredible day.
9:09
Brayden Matthews pointing out JSN is currently leading the league
9:13
by 200 receiving yards right now.
9:16
Adam: That's insane, and, appreciate that, Brayden.
9:18
I did see we've got a ton of super chats.
9:20
We will definitely get to your super chats here through.
9:22
Here's one from Papa Ted, 4.99,
9:25
"A drink for everyone," and absolutely.
9:26
Let's raise a glass to the Seahawks.
9:28
They…
9:29
This was a, this was a game that you looked at and you go, "Boy, I don't know
9:32
how great I feel about it going into this against an undefeated Chiefs team."
9:35
Now, again, they hadn't played, you know, the most stout of
9:38
teams coming into this game.
9:40
But definitely some concerns that the offense would be able to score
9:45
enough to keep up with a Mahomes team even if the defense played well.
9:49
But the defense said, "We're not just gonna play well.
9:51
We're not just gonna play great.
9:52
We're gonna play generationally great and hold one of the greatest quarterbacks
9:56
and play callers of all time to three stinking points and zero red zone drives."
10:00
That is fricking amazing.
10:02
Brandan: Three points.
10:03
Travis Kelce held to four catches, 44 yards.
10:06
Their, their tight ends were the most effective part of their offense between
10:11
Kelce and Noah Gray and, I don't know, does Cyrus Allen play tight end?
10:15
I, I feel like that's a name that I don't know.
10:17
He's a receiver.
10:18
There, there was another tight end that caught passes that I'm like, "Who?"
10:20
Adam: Oh yeah, and it wasn't Noah Gray.
10:22
It was, it was like the third one.
10:24
I- Yeah,
10:24
Brandan: I know who Noah Gray is.
10:25
It was, there was…
10:26
I don't know if it's Armstrong or, Watson.
10:30
One of those guys.
10:31
Adam: I don't know, some dude I'm never gonna have to worry about again.
10:33
I'll, I, I probably won't ever see those guys against the Seahawks,
10:36
for the next few years, that's for sure.
10:39
Another
10:39
Brandan: big- It's funny, when you said, "Raise a glass," Godzirwa
10:42
Hawk saying, "Catfish the Whiners," I was trying to find my glass of Niners
10:46
tears as they were the other- Ah, yes
10:47
undefeated team to go down to the Falcons today.
10:51
Adam: Yep, that was, delicious as well.
10:53
What a fantastic, performance with the Falcons to take down the Niners.
10:58
That was really awesome.
10:59
Wish the, Raiders could have come through against the Rams, but Kubiak,
11:02
Refused to take points when they were just right there for him to take.
11:06
Left eight points on the field.
11:07
We can get to that another day, but I just, this analytics [catfish] has to stop.
11:12
It's driving me crazy.
11:14
Brandan: Let's get to a couple super chats.
11:16
We got Godzirwa Hawk saying, "K9 who?
11:19
Great defense with limited turnovers can win games."
11:24
Thanks for the $10 Godzirwa Hawk.
11:26
Adam: Heck yeah, man.
11:27
And absolutely.
11:28
I mean, this offense, technically speaking, didn't have to do a whole
11:31
heck of a lot, throughout the game, but they were able, again, to convert
11:35
on third downs in time of possession.
11:38
35, or almost 36 minutes for the Hawks, to the Chief's right about 24 minutes.
11:43
That's a massive time of possession difference, and that's one of the
11:46
ways that you really do take the life out of a Mahomes-led offense.
11:51
Brandan: We got Lemonhawk1990 with the Score donation.
11:54
Yeah.
11:54
$20.03.
11:57
Just took a mini buy for us to get right.
11:58
Let's keep this up versus Chicago next Monday.
12:02
Mike Macdonald with his mini buys.
12:04
He's, he's got a pretty solid record now.
12:06
Adam: Absolutely.
12:07
I think he was extra motivated going into this one as well, and it
12:10
sounded like a lot of the players didn't have to be there over the
12:13
weekend, but the coaches sure did.
12:15
And they all put in a lot of work, and you could see it out there on the field.
12:19
I felt like Fleury's game plan was the most connected that I've seen.
12:23
Like, there was a number of plays that were all slightly different with
12:26
JSN and kind of that orbit motion.
12:28
That'd be one.
12:29
A few of the same formations, just with the tight ends out there that they
12:34
would run a few different things out of.
12:36
I thought he did a nice job of mixing up under center to play action.
12:40
And I thought he made the game plan as far as Sam's reads
12:44
very clear, defined, and quick.
12:47
And, you know, we heard Collinsworth talk a lot about the
12:51
average time to throw for Sam.
12:53
And well, he held the ball on a couple snaps, for the most part.
12:56
Brandan: You mean like on the interception?
12:58
Adam: Yeah.
12:59
So yeah, or is it time to get to, to, you know, Silly Sam picks or?
13:03
Brandan: Yeah, we can, we can knock it out now and, get back to some
13:07
of the other fun stuff later 'cause th- there's some other stats I wanna
13:10
circle back to and, and just hammer home
13:13
Adam: You betcha.
13:14
So, what, what stuck out to you here?
13:17
'Cause I feel like I've kind of gone through some things
13:20
here right out of the gate.
13:21
I, I'd like to maybe hear a little bit more- Okay … about
13:23
some stuff that impressed you.
13:24
Brandan: Well, if we're gonna talk Sam, let's just hit on Sam's stat line.
13:29
20 completions, 28 attempts, so under that 30 attempt threshold that
13:35
I feel like is the sweet spot for where we want Sam Darnold to be.
13:39
Yep.
13:39
257 yards.
13:41
He had the touchdown.
13:42
And man, oh man, that touchdown that he threw, you know, not just JSN, but
13:49
that's also Sam Darnold dropping it into the bucket, and on a play where I…
13:56
My biggest concern in this game is whether or not they would have an answer for when
14:02
the Chiefs got in those situations where Spagnuolo was just going to send the
14:07
house, and we haven't seen it too much to where Sam dropped back and, and put up a,
14:14
a big lofty pass down the field just for JSN to go get, and that to me seemed like
14:20
the answer, and they had it in this game.
14:23
Adam: They did.
14:23
And look, those two shots to JSN down the sideline, those are the
14:29
epitome of big boy football throws.
14:32
I mean, that's, that is A++ type stuff right there.
14:37
And unfortunately, he followed up the second one with a pick in the
14:41
end zone, and that was one of those where searching, searching, searching,
14:45
late over the middle, receivers had finally gotten into scramble drill.
14:49
I know Collinsworth made a big deal of the receivers running into each other.
14:52
Wouldn't have mattered.
14:53
Safety undercut all that nonsense, and you can't…
14:56
You just can't throw late over the middle like that, but talk about the
15:00
full Sam Darnold experience, right?
15:02
Some just efficient good stuff, a couple plays of just high level greatness,
15:08
and then just a head scratcher.
15:10
And since nobody else fumbled in this game, and oh my God, Brandan, we've
15:14
been talking about this for weeks now.
15:17
Like, Sam's gonna throw his one.
15:19
If he can take it from two to one and nobody else fumble, you
15:22
can win games going away, and that's exactly what happened.
15:27
Brandan: Get into some of the super chats.
15:28
We got Samuel Gelber in at $12.
15:31
A big thanks to Sam with the live executive producer donation.
15:35
Carly Perkins, 4.99.
15:37
What a win.
15:39
We can run the ball.
15:40
We have an offense.
15:41
We can beat playoff contenders, and the Niners lost too.
15:45
Such a great day.
15:47
That, the, the stat that I wanted to circle back to, and when Carly says
15:53
we have an offense, that 11 of 16 stat.
15:57
69%- Yeah … third down conversion percentage, one for one on fourth down.
16:03
We saw Barner out there going for his barnyard.
16:06
Three for three on barnyard runs.
16:09
The last one was a little iffy, but, we got there.
16:11
Made it.
16:13
Made it, closed out the game.
16:14
Everybody was ready to go home anyway.
16:17
That, that's what felt, I think, the best to me, was that
16:20
third down efficiency number.
16:21
If I, if I had to, just be happy with anything, the second most
16:26
would be that the one turnover came on the, you know, side of the field so
16:31
the defense didn't have a short field.
16:33
Although, it was a very long return.
16:35
It was right before the half, though.
16:37
Mm-hmm.
16:37
And then Butker came up short.
16:41
Adam: Came up a little short, missed another kick late,
16:43
which that was fun as well.
16:44
But, you, you talk about the third downs and 69% and all of that, it's
16:48
because they were able to stay ahead of the six for the majority of the night.
16:52
Not many negative plays.
16:53
There were some procedural pen- penalties on the offensive line,
16:57
That are super annoying.
16:59
Mm-hmm.
16:59
Still need to get that cleaned up.
17:01
Brandan: Bradford had one.
17:01
Brad- Bradford had his one.
17:02
Adam: Bradford, Zabel, Sundell.
17:04
Like, you know, you kinda go down the list.
17:07
Now, with that said, offensive line had their best game of the year,
17:10
in my opinion, to this point.
17:12
Yeah.
17:12
They were consistently getting two, three yards of push up front so that, you know,
17:17
Wilson could plow into them and then fall forward for a yard and get his four yards
17:21
of carry, which was, we- you know, enough.
17:23
It was enough to be effective.
17:25
And then in pass protection, they were fricking awesome.
17:28
They were awesome against a Chiefs team that has bonafide pass
17:32
rushers on their defensive line.
17:35
And look, what a difference Super Bowl champion Anthony Bradford makes, man.
17:39
Brandan: Was that it?
17:40
Was that all they needed?
17:41
It like- I don't know
17:42
the Iowa Hawk Brandon says, O line just needed Bradford back, that was it?
17:46
Adam: I don't know if that was just it or if there was a good
17:49
kick in the ass over the mini bye.
17:51
What it was, I think part of it too is Sam was getting the ball out quickly, and
17:54
that helps to make the O line look better.
17:57
But even on the possessions where he held the ball for a little while,
18:01
They did a great job holding up.
18:03
I, I think this was fanta- really, if you're gonna give out game
18:06
balls, you give out a game ball to the O line and the D line.
18:09
They kicked ass in the trenches all night.
18:13
Brandan: Jeremy Green, yep.
18:14
Bradford was the missing piece, I guess.
18:16
Yeah.
18:16
Hitting on injuries here real quick, Sydney Hawks fan saying a
18:19
little thinner on the roster now.
18:21
I don't know if it was the, that play where JSN and Shaheed ran into each other,
18:26
that that's what caused the knee injury.
18:28
But- Might be … Sha- Shaheed never came out after the half, and that happened
18:32
right before the end of the half.
18:34
So I would guess maybe that's where it came from.
18:37
And then the other one that is very concerning, well, Braden
18:42
Matthews coming in with a 9.99
18:43
super chat, "Craziest thing is we left a decent amount of
18:46
points on the board on this one."
18:48
And yeah, with, with the field goals you could, you could point to that.
18:52
Thoughts on Cross going out.
18:53
Cross goes out late.
18:56
That, after having such a nice offensive line performance, that's the one
19:01
part where you go, "Man, I, I just…
19:04
When it felt like it was all coming together."
19:06
Now hopefully we find out that Cross is okay, we get to Wednesday
19:10
and he's a full participant in practice and things are fine.
19:14
I guess if it's a little bit longer, you are thankful that there's two
19:20
weeks before you get to the bye week.
19:22
But Cross going down for a significant piece of time would be very concerning.
19:27
And with him walking, you would have to think that it's not significant time.
19:32
Adam: Let us hope so.
19:33
Let's hope it's not like a season thing, anything like that.
19:35
But we do have the history of Josh Jones coming in and playing good football for,
19:41
you know, two, three, four game stretches.
19:43
And so while you do not want to lose, you know, arguably your
19:48
best offensive lineman in Charles Cross, you have an adequate backup.
19:52
That's why you, I- that's why I was stunned that Josh Jones was able
19:56
to be retained this off-season.
19:58
Brandan: Yeah.
19:58
Adam: You know, for as much as we bag on John for not, retaining K9,
20:03
Josh Jones, that could look very smart going forward if, Charles, you know,
20:08
has to miss a little bit of time here.
20:10
Brandan: Yeah, and Braden's saying it's an ankle injury, not sure how bad it is.
20:13
Ankles can be anywhere from two weeks to six to eight, and you just- Yeah
20:18
get,
20:18
Adam: High ankle, low ankle, mid ankle.
20:21
All the ankles.
20:22
Yeah.
20:22
Brandan: And the most that you'll get from Mike is ankle.
20:25
Adam: Yeah.
20:25
I, I mean, he might just go full hockey from here on out and
20:28
just be like, "Yeah, lower body.
20:29
I don't know."
20:31
Brandan: Ryan911 pointing out Derick Hall coming out of
20:34
nowhere for the strip sack.
20:35
That was fun, watching the fumble bounce around the ground.
20:39
It would've been more fun if we would've come up with it, but, nice
20:42
to see him get the sack on the day.
20:45
Lemonhawk1990, "Back in, $5.
20:48
JSN is playing like he doesn't want Offensive Player of the Year again.
20:52
He wants MVP."
20:54
Adam: And honestly, I think he has an extremely legitimate case at this point.
21:00
Yeah.
21:00
I mean, he's incredible, Brandan.
21:03
I mean, they…
21:04
Everybody knows where the ball's going.
21:06
Don't make no never mind.
21:07
Brandan: Yeah.
21:07
Do you, do you remember who the MVP conversation kind of hovered
21:11
around prior to this game?
21:13
Adam: I don't know.
21:15
It was a guy who had a letter and then a number.
21:19
K9, I think his…
21:20
Oop.
21:20
Brandan: Yeah, yeah.
21:21
I, I feel like maybe, maybe the tide will shift after this game
21:26
to JSN after his incredible night.
21:29
JSin evitable.
21:31
Exactly.
21:31
Adam: And at some point it's gotta be JSN undeniable, right?
21:36
Like, it, it, there's just, there's no more superlatives for the guy
21:40
that you can throw out there.
21:43
He's one of the all-time greats, and he'll, he'll be putting on a gold
21:46
jacket at the end of his career.
21:48
There's no doubt about it.
21:49
I mean, this was absolute dominance out of him in, whether that's taking the lid off
21:55
the defense and catching go balls, whether that's the tough dirty work inside,
21:59
whether that's catching bubbles and, you know, turning nothing into something.
22:02
I mean, there is literally nothing he can't do from his position.
22:06
And I thought Fleury did a wonderful job of getting him moved around the formation,
22:11
and when they could, hunting match-ups like they did with Sneed, and they abused
22:16
the holy hell out of that guy all night.
22:19
Brandan: He abused Sneed.
22:20
He, he abused even their, their rookie corners- Delane
22:23
Delane.
22:23
So yeah, it was…
22:25
It, it didn't much matter when you're getting 150 yards on the day.
22:30
Kaitlyn Sinkewicz coming in with a 4.99
22:33
super chat.
22:34
"Our first home game."
22:36
Right on.
22:36
"Total domination.
22:37
Thanks for the recommendation.
22:38
Heading back to PA."
22:41
Wow, making the trip from Pennsylvania all the way out and getting a dub.
22:45
Gotta love that.
22:46
Adam: Absolutely.
22:46
I am so glad you were there for that game.
22:48
That had to have been an absolute joy.
22:50
I know we had a number of Little Flockers at the game, and, yeah, man, I…
22:55
They, they had themselves a ball, no doubt about it.
22:57
And you could, we could hear you all night, that's for sure, man.
23:00
Crowd was raucous.
23:01
They really helped the defense as well.
23:04
Chiefs looked flustered all night long.
23:07
Brandan: Nathan Tolley coming in with a 4.99
23:09
super chat.
23:09
Go Hawks.
23:10
So sweet to show the nation in prime time what this team is all about.
23:15
Also, welcome back Anthony Bradford.
23:17
Yeah, I…
23:18
It makes it so much more sweet that this was in prime time, that it was the
23:23
spanking that, that Mahomes got, that it just, it, it made it that much better.
23:28
And yeah, compile that with the Niners going down and moving one
23:33
close, one step closer to first place.
23:36
Mm-hmm.
23:36
Maybe we can get there next week when, the same thing happens, but we'll see.
23:40
Adam: You never know.
23:41
And, you know, we have the Niners again coming up, and that's, you know, a de
23:44
facto two-game swing if you can- Right
23:46
Beat them there.
23:47
Brandan: After the
23:47
bye.
23:48
Adam: Yep, after the bye.
23:49
So, I love our chances after mini byes, full byes, all the byes.
23:53
Like, that, that'd be, that'd be sweet if we can get that one, and I have a,
23:58
a high degree of confidence in that because as good as the offense looked
24:02
tonight, Brandan, there's better things coming down the road here in the future.
24:06
Brandan: Uh-huh.
24:06
Yeah, there's some other defenses coming up that could make
24:09
this offense look pretty good.
24:12
We've got 52 likes out here on YouTube.
24:14
Let's get it to 100, maybe 112.
24:18
Let's go.
24:18
Let's Clinton in chat trying to, to prompt people to like.
24:22
Please subscribe if you're new here.
24:24
And yes, do subscribe because we're on our way to 7,000 subscribers- Get close
24:30
out on YouTube.
24:30
We're almost there.
24:32
Adam: Yeah, Clinton said we're on a march.
24:33
I'd rather be on a hike.
24:34
But either way, however you'd like to get to 7,000, if you could help us with
24:37
that, hit the little subscribe button.
24:39
It means the world to us and especially after a big game like this
24:43
where the Hawks looked like themselves again, looked like the world champions.
24:47
And it turns out that the, removal of one player wasn't
24:52
the doom of this entire team.
24:55
Brandan: Papa Ted, member for one month.
24:58
What the effing F did we have two receivers colliding on the end zone?
25:03
You talked a little bit about that, Adam.
25:04
It…
25:05
When it, it wasn't…
25:07
I know a lot of people look at that and go, "Oh," 'cause any time two
25:10
receivers and they're in the area- Yeah
25:12
like, that's a, a cue for a lot of people to say, "What's the
25:15
offensive coordinator doing?"
25:17
When it's holding the ball for five seconds because you've got the play
25:22
breaking down around you, the…
25:24
and you're…
25:24
especially when you're that close to the end zone, the, it's, it's
25:27
no longer part of the design of the play where the receivings are, are…
25:32
where the receivers are running in the end zone then.
25:34
Adam: Yeah.
25:35
They're ad-libbing at that point.
25:36
It's de facto scramble drill even though, you know, Sam wasn't out of the pocket.
25:40
But they'd already run the routes to completion.
25:42
What are they supposed to do, just stand there?
25:43
No.
25:44
So they're trying to make something happen and as you said, maybe that's
25:47
the play that Shaheed got hurt on.
25:49
I'm not entirely sure.
25:50
That's a bummer, no doubt about it.
25:53
But, yeah, I can't put that on Fleury at all.
25:57
Could they be better in the red zone?
25:59
Is that a place that you look at going forward with Fleury in this offense?
26:02
Absolutely.
26:03
Mm.
26:04
And, like I said, with Charbonnet and Jadarian coming back, I think
26:07
that does help there as well, and also the offensive line looking like
26:12
itself again should make a difference with that going down the stretch.
26:16
Brandan: Mike Johns with a 4.99
26:18
Super Chat, "Finally looked like an offensive scheme we can
26:20
continue to build on and win with.
26:23
Also, Dickson back to b- back to GOAT status."
26:27
And that was…
26:28
I, I saw Sam Gelber, saying that he muted, the, the…
26:33
Adam: Oh.
26:34
The commentators?
26:35
Brandan: Yeah, the commentators in this game.
26:37
And Collinsworth and, in particular, I think is who he wanted to mute.
26:42
And we did get a nice feature on Dickson and his punting style, and
26:47
they broke it down, which rarely happens on any type of broadcast,
26:52
let alone the national broadcast.
26:54
And I, sitting with my wife and my mom, and they're like, "Oh, wow.
26:58
Th- that is incredible seeing the way, how they broke it down, how he
27:02
lined up one way, seemingly directed another way, and then boomeranged
27:06
it w- as it's helicoptering to the dude at the 12 yard line."
27:11
Adam: Yeah, man.
27:12
Like, the down under boomerang there from the Aussie punter.
27:16
Like, th- I just…
27:18
You know, and I didn't notice the, the big slice of it, like, in real
27:21
time, and then when they showed that.
27:23
Like, I, I, I did see the helicopter spin, right?
27:25
And we've seen that in person, right?
27:27
When he's warming up.
27:28
Yeah.
27:28
We've been at some of the games, and you're like, "How in
27:30
the world do you catch that?"
27:31
Dude, that returner, whatever his name is, I can't remember who it was, he should
27:35
get a raise just for catching that one.
27:38
Brandan: Pretty incredible.
27:40
We've got Black Thought Brown Dreams, "Our most complete game.
27:45
69 third down.
27:47
Amazing."
27:48
Thank you for the 199 Super Chat.
27:50
We've got 1515 Morrison, "So refreshing to see how the offense performed.
27:55
Extremely efficient on third down.
27:57
Three first downs with the Barnyard.
27:59
Defense is the best.
28:00
Go Hawks."
28:02
Yeah, man, I, I would have to…
28:04
That's one thing I'd be interested to go back in the stats and see when
28:08
was the last time we were that close to being 70% on third downs- Sure
28:12
because that's…
28:13
When you're above 50, that's a good day.
28:16
Adam: Yeah, yeah.
28:17
You're having yourself a day at that point.
28:19
And look, it was a, a refreshing performance from the offense, and
28:24
awesome to see the Barnyard back, man.
28:26
Like, remember when there was some mysterious reason why we couldn't run
28:30
the Barnyard, there for a while?
28:32
That Mike was like, "No, not gonna tell you.
28:34
Just can't do it."
28:34
Brandan: Yeah.
28:35
Adam: Apparently during the mini by, whatever that
28:37
reason was was resolved, fixed.
28:39
I don't know.
28:39
Boom.
28:39
Maybe Barner's hands healed.
28:41
I have no- Bradford's
28:41
Brandan: back
28:43
Adam: I guess maybe.
28:44
I mean, I don't know.
28:45
But, whatever the reason was, it's gone and now the Barnyard is back and
28:52
that's awesome to see because it is basically automatic and it really helped
28:55
with that, third down conversion rate.
28:58
Brandan: Here's the other thing that I thought that maybe it could be.
29:01
If it's something that they're practicing, and lining up correctly is so critical
29:06
with the way that they're- Yeah … with officiating that play now, if they can't
29:11
line up correctly in practice to actually execute it, then that may be what would
29:17
be keeping it out of the game plan.
29:18
Because if you line up only to then lose five yards, it would be nonsensical
29:24
to, to run that play out there.
29:26
Adam: Yeah, 1000%.
29:28
I mean, they made life harder th- for themselves on third down a couple
29:31
times though, on just regular third downs by committing false starts.
29:35
So, what, do we just not run the rest of those plays now too?
29:38
Like you know what I mean?
29:40
But-
29:40
Brandan: I, I just mean the alignment is so cr- it's extra critical on those plays.
29:43
It is But, just with there being such a spotlight on it, but-
29:47
Adam: Yeah, they're cracking down, no doubt about it I,
29:49
Brandan: I'm just, I'm just trying to throw out guesses.
29:51
15Morri- Good guess 1515Morrison, 499SuperChat, "I don't think I've
29:55
ever seen a defensive line have such a dominant pass rush with only one sack.
30:01
Defense is the best.
30:02
Go Hawks."
30:03
That was the other part, another Collinsworth commentary piece that Sam
30:08
may have missed, was the reflection back on just going into Mahomes' eyes
30:15
late in the third- Yeah … early fourth quarter, and it was that shell-shocked
30:19
look that, I don't know, maybe we only saw in the Super Bowl against the Eagles.
30:24
Adam: Yeah, and it goes to show, I mean, the kryptonite of every quarterback,
30:29
and I don't care if you're Tom Brady, Pat Mahomes, or, you know, Malik
30:34
Willis, it do- it doesn't matter.
30:35
If you get pressure up the middle consistently and you can contain on
30:39
the edge for the guys that can run, you're gonna make their life miserable,
30:42
and he was legit miserable out there.
30:45
And yes, they only finished with one sack.
30:48
Now, Mahomes may not be 100% with the knee, but he's probably 85, 90% in my
30:54
guesstimation, and you're gonna have a hard time getting that guy on the ground.
30:58
But to fluster him, get him out of the pocket, break the rhythm of all
31:02
of their offense, like that was a dominant performance by the defensive
31:06
line getting those things done
31:08
Brandan: One more super chat here from Papa Ted.
31:11
AB is the key to the barnyard.
31:14
It, it seemed to prove it out tonight.
31:16
It, because, yeah, it worked that way.
31:19
And Garen is texting me live during the show A picture, the picture of…
31:24
And Garen's in chat too.
31:25
You, you know I'm live.
31:27
But I guess he also knows I check my text messages.
31:28
He's got
31:28
Adam: the private line.
31:29
He's got the bat line.
31:30
Yeah.
31:31
Brandan: He, he's texting me the picture of Mahomes' eyes- … as they
31:35
sh- flashed it up on screen today.
31:37
Adam: Yeah.
31:38
No, for sure.
31:39
And, he was rattled in the, in the second half when he came out and I think
31:44
he missed, like, three or four throws in a row, like, where there may have been
31:48
a window there to get it to a guy, and was just erratic and all over the place.
31:52
Couldn't get his feet set.
31:53
Andy couldn't find a rhythm with the play call.
31:56
There was nothing going for, for Kenneth.
31:59
And do you think, Brandan, that this is more a function of just the defense
32:04
is good, i- great, generational?
32:07
Or is it also, or maybe more so, a function when it comes to Ken Walker
32:12
that they've seen this dude a billion times in practice, so they know the
32:17
rhythm and the pacing and how he runs and how he tries to get to things?
32:20
Brandan: I, I think it must help, right?
32:22
Because no…
32:25
They seemed to approach it to where, I saw a couple times where the defense,
32:31
the, the spacing inside, it, it was like, "We're daring you to bounce it outside.
32:37
We're, we're gonna- Yeah … we're gonna space this so tight on, on, on
32:40
our side of the ball that you aren't gonna be able to run up the middle."
32:43
And, and then when he did bounce it outside, well, I think that's where
32:48
the, having the backup tackles played a big role, because the guys were
32:53
setting the edge well tonight, whether it was Derick Hall or DeMarcus Lawrence.
32:58
Like, they did a really good job of setting the edges.
33:00
And so he didn't have much room to bounce out, and then when he did,
33:03
they were rallying to the football.
33:04
So-
33:05
Adam: Yeah
33:05
… Brandan: it, that way, I think they did know how to approach K9.
33:11
Adam: They really did.
33:12
And, you know, Tyrice got shook a little bit on an early run, and then from that
33:17
point forward, Tyrice Knight was laying the wood, against Kenneth Walker.
33:22
There was that one hit, later on in the game where he just basically decleated
33:26
him, and it was just a thing of beauty.
33:28
I thought Tyrice Knight played an A+ game, i- in relief for Drake Thomas.
33:34
A starter level guy, he's gonna get paid somewhere next year.
33:37
We better cash in on having this sort of depth this year, no doubt about it.
33:41
And there's, there's discombobulated Pat.
33:44
Brandan: Hey, if, if Garen's gonna send it to me, I'm gonna use
33:47
it for content so- There he is.
33:50
Mahomes on the screen.
33:51
And also on the screen we got DSCCCR- Yeah, man … a new member out on
33:57
YouTube, so welcome to the flock.
34:00
And got another 499 from Braden Matthews.
34:03
Big number "Travis Kelce was thinking about playing another year until tonight.
34:07
You could see the look on his face."
34:09
Adam: It, yeah, you could.
34:10
It was across the board on all the Chiefs whenever they,
34:13
switched to the, sideline view.
34:16
And then Ken's face on the Wi- Wilson touchdown, like that kinda, you know,
34:22
set it all right there for his night.
34:24
And look, man, I love Kenneth Walker.
34:26
I think he's a great human.
34:27
I loved him when he was on this football team.
34:29
He is no longer a Seahawk, he is a Chief.
34:31
So guess what?
34:32
Suck it, Ken.
34:33
So you can suck it all night with your crappy 36-yard night.
34:37
Yeah, take that, go back to Kansas City where you're so happy to be
34:41
because now you can have fun according to Collinsworth and Pat Mahomes.
34:45
Brandan: Yeah.
34:46
Garen's saying, "I was so impressed with the day's looks, I backed the TV
34:50
up and took a photo during that game."
34:52
And shout out to Garen too.
34:54
If you, if you are going through Smelterville, Idaho, you gotta
34:57
stop by Guaranteed Barbecue and check out his barbecue stand.
35:00
So big thanks to Garen.
35:02
Adam: Big thanks to Garen.
35:03
And yes, definitely do that.
35:05
It is unbelievably good.
35:10
Brandan: Papa Ted saying…
35:11
Oh, I think he's talking to Sam in the, in the chat saying, "Clink"
35:15
for the old CenturyLink Field.
35:16
Oh, CenturyLink.
35:16
Yeah, yeah.
35:18
Adam: I like that.
35:18
I like the Clink better than Lumen.
35:20
I'm not gonna lie, in terms of names.
35:21
Brandan: It was a better nickname.
35:23
Adam: It was.
35:23
It was.
35:24
'Cause it sounded like you were going to jail as an opposing team when you
35:27
were coming into Seattle at that point.
35:30
And the, and the Chiefs were in jail all night tonight, man.
35:33
Brandan: All night long.
35:35
Just 165 yards receiving for the Chiefs, 50 yards rushing, and Mahomes ha-
35:43
accounted for 14 of those 50 yards, just two carries, seven yard average, and yeah.
35:49
One, one first down that frustrated me, but it ended up not mattering.
35:54
Adam: That's right.
35:54
And look, it does go to show how things could look for the Chiefs
35:59
going forward if, you know, they can't beat up on lower tier teams and
36:03
just run the ball with Ken Walker.
36:05
Their depleted receiving core right now is really a problem because they
36:09
had nowhere to go with the football outside of the tight end room.
36:12
And even most of the Kelce stuff was, again, on the ad lib stuff where Pat
36:17
would get out and, you know, suck a linebacker up and then he would do
36:20
his, you know, slow plotting little trot back, you know, about five
36:23
yards, and then Pat would find him.
36:25
Brandan: Handle Nah saying Andy Reid wasn't a fan of the
36:28
fireworks with two minutes left.
36:30
They had already lost, so he can, he can not be a fan of it all he wants.
36:33
But I, I was wondering what's going on, what's going on with the audio on my TV?
36:38
And then they referenced the fireworks, so.
36:40
Adam: Ah.
36:41
Well, I missed that 'cause I was setting up for this and kinda just
36:44
peeking around the corner at the TV from time to time here, so.
36:48
Brandan: 153 yards rushing on the day for the Seahawks, 100
36:52
for Wilson, 11 for Holani.
36:55
Velus Jones had five carries for eight yards.
36:58
AJ Barner, three carries, four yards.
37:02
JSN ended up with two rushes on the day.
37:06
I guess those must have been backward passes, so is that what
37:09
th- Yes … would, would that be?
37:10
Okay.
37:11
Adam: Yep.
37:11
Brandan: And then Darnold, two rushes, 17 yards.
37:15
Nice to see him picking up a couple first downs.
37:17
Adam: Yeah, that was huge for him to break out his legs.
37:19
He had a nice third and six at one point, and then I think another third
37:22
and nine, yeah, in the third quarter.
37:25
That was huge.
37:26
And, you know, it took him a minute to finally pull the, the trigger and
37:30
start to run, but he's got just enough juice to be able to pull that off,
37:34
and I think that really does help him stay out of putting up the ball
37:38
up late when he's out of structure where that's not really his forte and
37:41
he throws some of those bad picks.
37:43
So th- that was important for him to be able to get the
37:47
legs going a little bit there.
37:48
Brandan, how important was this game for Sam tonight?
37:51
20 of 28, 257, touchdown and an interception after
37:55
the run that he's been on.
37:56
Like th- I would imagine this has to be huge.
38:00
Brandan: Well, this, this calms down the crowd a little bit.
38:03
Yeah.
38:03
Because we were…
38:05
Well, we had talked about it, right?
38:07
That if we, we, we saw him come out in this game and we had another game
38:12
where it was two interceptions where you just scratched your head, and it,
38:18
it's like a half a head scratch, I think, with that one to the end zone.
38:22
It, it wasn't total head scratch, but to come out of this game then with
38:27
just that one and also have those big time throws to Jacks down the sideline,
38:35
yeah, it, it helps him a lot because that, that holds off the conversation
38:39
at least for a little while longer.
38:42
And as long as he- At
38:43
Adam: least two more games, right?
38:44
Because then you could have the bad game against the Bears, and then the
38:47
conversation's back up again, right?
38:48
Brandan: Right.
38:49
Yeah.
38:49
Yeah.
38:49
It, it g- it holds it off, and as long as he can keep holding
38:53
it off, that's good for him.
38:55
Adam: Well, and also too, I mean, this is, this is…
38:59
This could be a turning point for him, going forward through the season, and
39:03
especially with the backs coming back and kinda helping to take some of the pressure
39:06
off and keep him in that, you know, 25 to 30-ish passing attempts a game where
39:13
he really thrives, and it's not really on him in the drop back game and all of that.
39:17
Though we didn't see a…
39:18
I don't feel like we saw a ton of play action tonight, but, he was, he
39:23
was pretty good, in the drop back passing game, which was pretty sweet.
39:27
Also too, I think this is just a huge game, for the offense in terms
39:31
of team chemistry, 'cause at some point, if they kept putting up these
39:35
terrible performances, this fantastic defense is gonna finally at some point
39:40
look over and be like, "The [catfish]?"
39:42
Like, you, you, you need to do something.
39:45
Brandan: Yeah.
39:46
It, it…
39:47
I, I don't want it to get to that.
39:49
We got Fulminous Lux saying, "Charbs back next week?"
39:53
Man, we hope so because it seemed like this was the week.
39:57
We could have Charbs back next week.
39:59
We could have Price back next week.
40:01
Adam: Mm-hmm.
40:01
Brandan: And if we're looking at a pair of running backs that are legit pro
40:07
style running backs, and your offense isn't handcuffed by not being able to
40:12
run wide zone anymore because there's just no ability to bounce it outside.
40:18
Th- there were a couple, a couple times where they did run wide zone, and then,
40:23
then the Chiefs just crashed through.
40:26
That was, a little annoying
40:28
Adam: Yeah, I, it was up and down in wide zone.
40:30
They did have some success in it as well at, at times.
40:33
Hmm.
40:33
I- That
40:35
Brandan: wouldn't stand out to me if they did
40:37
Adam: I'm not say- like, I'm not saying it was overwhelming success, but like, you
40:40
know, you get a three, four-yard gain and-
40:42
Brandan: Yeah
40:42
Adam: you know, that sort of thing.
40:43
They, I, they w- highlighted one run that was zone in the second half.
40:49
Trying to think of who they were highlighting on the block,
40:52
but, Hmm … it, it, it ended up being a successful one.
40:54
Brandan: Oh, it could've been a Holani run because he did-
40:56
Yeah … have one good run,
40:58
Adam: He did.
41:00
Yeah.
41:00
They tried to get Velus involved a little bit as well.
41:03
You know, again, if Charbs and Price are back next week, then that might be
41:07
the last time we see him for a while.
41:09
And, so he got a little bit of a
41:11
Brandan: run.
41:11
He went with injury too, so-
41:12
Adam: Okay
41:13
… Brandan: it could be, timing wise, it may just work out.
41:16
Adam: Yeah.
41:18
Yep.
41:18
But you needed this game, man, especially with Bears coming up here next
41:25
week, and a, a very legit offense, right?
41:28
I, I have a hard time seeing this defense holding the Bears to just three points.
41:32
Not saying that it can't happen, 'cause they just did it to the great
41:35
Pat Mahomes and the unbeatable Kenneth Walker, and, you know, multiple
41:39
Super Bowl champion Andy Reid.
41:42
They, they need to have their offense clicking just a little
41:45
bit, have some confidence.
41:46
And as you put, Brandan, I think it sets them up to take on a Bears
41:50
defense, which I do not put on the same tier as the Chiefs at this point.
41:55
Brandan: Oh, absolutely not.
41:56
The Bears defense, go back to, what was it?
42:00
Week one against Carolina where it was just an, an offense, m- they
42:05
probably scored 100 points in that game between the two teams, and- Yeah
42:09
it was close to 40 for the Bears giving that up, and they've
42:13
gotten better since then.
42:15
But I don't think, gosh, was it close to 30 points that they gave up last week?
42:22
Adam: Yeah.
42:23
They better shoot
42:24
Brandan: out- It could be, it could be a rough go for their defense, but
42:25
it, again, like you were saying, their offense also pretty good, so-
42:33
It, it could be another game where the, the turnovers, it decides it.
42:38
Adam: Yeah.
42:38
I mean, and as we said in the flagship lead-up to this week is
42:42
like, don't turn ball over, win game.
42:44
Brandan: Uh-huh.
42:45
Here you go.
42:46
Adam: Yeah.
42:47
Brandan: Done.
42:47
Adam: Exactly.
42:48
Yeah.
42:49
Brandan: Jerry Green, "This defense is gonna make Caleb Williams cry next week."
42:53
Adam: Does he even need our defense for that?
42:56
I'm not even making fun of him.
42:57
I, I, I, I could…
42:58
I cry.
42:59
Like, I, I c- I could imag- like he…
43:01
But he's kind of a crier.
43:03
Yeah.
43:03
It…
43:04
I don't know.
43:04
I don't know if that works as a franchise QB, but I guess if you got
43:07
that sort of arm and that sort of, you know, high-end talent, maybe
43:11
it covers up for, for the tears.
43:12
I don't know.
43:13
Brandan: I, I think it does.
43:14
I, I think he has come back well from that hamstring injury and, and shown that he
43:21
can be very effective, so it could be…
43:23
The, the defense Gets a little warmup with Mahomes coming to Seattle, and
43:29
now we get Caleb Williams who, i- and that Ben Johnson offense- Yeah … that
43:34
has that, that group clicking.
43:36
So another also challenge in the run game, because that's another- Yes … part of
43:41
that Bears offense, is that they have been very efficient on the ground, and
43:46
that's another thing where Ben Johnson doesn't tend to go away from that the way
43:51
that Andy Reid and the Chiefs were like, "Oh, let's, let's go ahead and not
43:55
run."
43:55
Adam: You feel like they just…
43:56
You feel like they gave up on it?
43:57
Because I don't.
43:58
I, I-
43:58
Brandan: They gave up a little bit.
44:00
Adam: They
44:00
Brandan: gave
44:00
Adam: up a little bit.
44:01
I mean, I guess.
44:02
They just didn't have a lot of opportunities.
44:04
It's hard for them to stay on the field on third downs as well, so you
44:08
know, kind of one of those things.
44:09
Can't stay on the field, can't get to your stuff.
44:10
You know, sounds like a Shane Waldron excuse, but,
44:14
Brandan: Yeah
44:14
… Adam: yeah, the Bears, the Bears run game is different, right?
44:17
Like, it is bludgeoning you sh- right down your throat and that's some stuff
44:21
that this defense had had some problems with a little bit earlier in the
44:25
season, some of that power duo stuff.
44:27
That's been something that they've struggled with at times.
44:31
So a little bit different type of running attack, but taking on the,
44:35
you know, league leading rusher in Kenneth and an offensive line that is
44:39
good on the interior, and shutting that down, that gives me a lot of
44:42
confidence, going into the Chicago
44:45
game.
44:45
Brandan: Yeah.
44:45
Ben Johnson, Garen reminding us that he turned us down when…
44:51
He didn't even want to come in for an interview when we
44:53
were looking for a head coach.
44:54
But you
44:55
Adam: know what?
44:55
I was honestly more interested in…
44:57
I, my, to transparency, looking back, Vrabel was number one for me-
45:01
Yeah … and then Macdonald was number two.
45:03
So he wasn't even a top two for me.
45:05
Brandan: Dodged a bullet with the Vrabel one, with some of
45:07
the off-season stuff that-
45:08
Adam: Yeah … he ended up getting into.
45:09
Not on the coaching end.
45:10
He, he's been coaching his ass off, but.
45:12
Brandan: He's been coaching really well, but
45:13
Adam: yeah.
45:13
Yeah, but he's been doing some other stuff too, so.
45:15
Brandan: Which are, so far nothing like that from our
45:19
coach, which is also nice to see.
45:20
Yeah.
45:21
Looking at the Bears, it was, they gave up 24 points to the Patriots, 23 to
45:28
the Falcons, gave up 31 to the Packers.
45:33
Okay.
45:33
So they're on a streak of giving up, yeah, 23 plus points every week.
45:39
Adam: Yeah.
45:40
And look, this offense showed that they could be on their way
45:44
to scoring that t- sort of, total on the regular going forward.
45:49
And, I can't be more excited coming up just knowing that, you
45:54
know, Charbs and specifically Price will likely be back it sounds like.
46:00
Brandan: I'm excited, Adam, because our Seahawks got the
46:03
win 20 to 3 over the Chiefs.
46:07

46:56
Brandan: And I think with that-
46:57
Adam: There's only one thing left to say.
46:59
Brandan: Go Hawks.
47:00
Adam: Go Hawks.
