Speaker 1: You're listening to Hawk Talk with former Seahawks wide receiver
0:04
Speaker 1: Michael Bumpus.
0:05
Speaker 2: Playfake, go to roll right, dumps it off into the
0:08
Speaker 2: right flass to Michael Bumpers, who bounces off of one tackler,
0:11
Speaker 2: gets inside the forty down of the thirty five yard line.
0:13
Speaker 1: Powered by seahawks dot Com.
0:15
Speaker 2: Matt Pumpfak's looking at the goal line. He throws it
0:18
Speaker 2: into the end zone.
0:19
Speaker 1: Touchdown.
0:19
Speaker 3: Say Hawks, it's Michael Thumps with a.
0:22
Speaker 4: Diving catching the end zone on ten yard touchdown reception
0:26
Speaker 4: for Bumpers, and the kid out of Washington State has
0:29
Speaker 4: found himself a place on this team.
0:31
Speaker 1: Now here's your host, Nasa Choviie.
0:35
Speaker 3: Well, it was not the result the Seahawks wanted on
0:37
Speaker 3: their first opening game at Loomingfield as they followed the
0:40
Speaker 3: Rams thirty to thirteen. It wasn't great. I'm not gonna
0:44
Speaker 3: lie to see the score. You know. The game was
0:46
Speaker 3: probably a little closer than it looked. But the Seahawks
0:48
Speaker 3: did follow the Rams in the week one matchup in
0:51
Speaker 3: the division. But we're gonna bring in the guy that
0:53
Speaker 3: we talk to every week after Seahawks game, win, lose
0:55
Speaker 3: or draw. Let's hear from our guy, Ray Roberts.
1:01
Speaker 1: It's time to go inside the trenches with former Seahawk
1:04
Speaker 1: Ray Roberts.
1:06
Speaker 3: What's up, big Ray? How you doing, man?
1:08
Speaker 5: I'm not that big dog. How you doing?
1:10
Speaker 3: We're me and Bump a surviving man. We took our
1:13
Speaker 3: lumps a little bit yesterday, but we're pulling it together
1:15
Speaker 3: because right now it is very doom and gloom in
1:17
Speaker 3: the Pacific Northwest. Everyone is just like, can't handle it.
1:21
Speaker 3: Everyone thought there'd be a better performance on Sunday, but
1:23
Speaker 3: it is what it is. Ray, tell me why it
1:26
Speaker 3: wasn't as bad as it looked on Sunday. Give me
1:28
Speaker 3: something positive.
1:29
Speaker 6: Well, the first positive thing I'm going to give you
1:32
Speaker 6: is that all the things are correct. The on offense
1:35
Speaker 6: played pretty good offensive football in the first half. They
1:40
Speaker 6: held the Rams to basically two yards to carry in
1:44
Speaker 6: the running game, and they carried the ball maybe forty times.
1:46
Speaker 6: So the areas where the Seaalks defense struggled last year,
1:50
Speaker 6: they actually was lights out on it.
1:52
Speaker 5: It's just in some other eras.
1:53
Speaker 6: That they need to pick up and listen to the
1:56
Speaker 6: guys in the post game, they don't seem too concerned
1:58
Speaker 6: about it. Pete Carroll was a little surprised, obviously by
2:01
Speaker 6: the way it started out and finished, but he was,
2:04
Speaker 6: But he wasn't. He didn't seem scared or worried about
2:07
Speaker 6: that they couldn't make the corrections, Big Gray.
2:10
Speaker 7: That's the thing that that stuck with me is that
2:13
Speaker 7: I look across the league and I see the Bengals
2:15
Speaker 7: go down.
2:17
Speaker 8: I see who else wind that anyway.
2:20
Speaker 7: I just see matches across the league where teams that
2:22
Speaker 7: are favorite to win take the l. When you are
2:25
Speaker 7: a player in this league and it doesn't work out
2:27
Speaker 7: week one, what's the feeling like in that room?
2:30
Speaker 3: You know?
2:30
Speaker 7: Is it lived to find another day? Is the sky falling?
2:34
Speaker 7: I mean, take us back to your playing days and
2:36
Speaker 7: how you felt after a Week one loss.
2:39
Speaker 6: Well, unfortunately, Big Mike, like I was never on a
2:42
Speaker 6: team that was stacked as the seahawktion was, had so
2:46
Speaker 6: many expectations. But I will say, you know, listen to
2:50
Speaker 6: the leaders of this team. Listen to Pete Carroll and
2:53
Speaker 6: then Gino Smith and then even Bobby Wagner.
2:57
Speaker 5: And Bobby Wagner even said, hey man, it's just week one.
3:00
Speaker 6: If you look around the league, I think the Chargers
3:02
Speaker 6: are on and one the Bengals are owing one, the
3:05
Speaker 6: Chiefs are on and one, the Seahawks are owing one.
3:07
Speaker 5: You have sixteen more games to play, and all of
3:10
Speaker 5: the things that they talked about.
3:12
Speaker 6: That they needed to improve on it they didn't play
3:14
Speaker 6: well and are things that you can fix. It's not
3:17
Speaker 6: like you don't have the skill, or you don't have
3:18
Speaker 6: the talent, or you haven't coached up what have you.
3:21
Speaker 6: Like Pete said, it just didn't come together the way
3:24
Speaker 6: that they had seen it in practice. And so I
3:26
Speaker 6: think you'll put some infantis on maybe the effort of
3:28
Speaker 6: the smaller details, and I think that'll be fun.
3:32
Speaker 3: Ray kind of getting in more than nitty gritty offensively.
3:35
Speaker 3: You know, the Seahawks scored on most of their possessions
3:37
Speaker 3: in the first half, and in the second half they
3:39
Speaker 3: just seemed like they couldn't stay on the field, running
3:41
Speaker 3: only fourteen plays in that second half. Why do you
3:43
Speaker 3: think they weren't able to get into a rhythm?
3:46
Speaker 6: You know, I think some of it too, is like
3:49
Speaker 6: the defense is on the field for so long, like
3:52
Speaker 6: the are the rams are going on like twelve and
3:54
Speaker 6: thirteen and fourteen play drives, and so as an offense,
3:57
Speaker 6: you kind of get out of a you kind of
3:58
Speaker 6: get out of sync a little bit, you know, you
4:00
Speaker 6: don't have any rhythm and how you're what you're doing,
4:02
Speaker 6: and then they just couldn't find, you know, some breaks
4:05
Speaker 6: here in the passing game. You know, it just really
4:07
Speaker 6: couldn't get the passing game going. I think Gino was
4:10
Speaker 6: three or nine I think in the second half, uh
4:12
Speaker 6: and so just didn't really get anything going in that space.
4:15
Speaker 6: And then you have your two offensive tackles go down
4:17
Speaker 6: and that, honestly, that seemed to be what unglued the
4:21
Speaker 6: whole offense. It just seemed like everything fell apart once
4:24
Speaker 6: the tackles went down, and uh and the backups came
4:28
Speaker 6: in and Stone force if did okay, gave up one pressure.
4:31
Speaker 6: Jake Kern didn't do as well. Gave up quite a
4:33
Speaker 6: few pressures and I think eight pressures in his ten snaps.
4:37
Speaker 6: So that didn't help at all. So just the offense
4:40
Speaker 6: got out of rhythm, got out of scene, couldn't stay,
4:42
Speaker 6: you know, get back to what they were doing in
4:43
Speaker 6: the first half, and they were running the ball well
4:46
Speaker 6: uh K nine was averaging probably about five or six
4:49
Speaker 6: hours of carry.
4:50
Speaker 5: So just never could get the rhythm back in the
4:52
Speaker 5: second half.
4:54
Speaker 7: I was gonna ask you about K nine man, what
4:55
Speaker 7: did you see from him? Why was he able to
4:57
Speaker 7: bring off some of the big runs that we saw?
5:00
Speaker 7: And also what did you see from Zach Charbonne. I
5:02
Speaker 7: know there's not a lot to work with when it
5:04
Speaker 7: comes to numbers, but did you see any potential in
5:07
Speaker 7: the combo?
5:07
Speaker 8: And then specifically, what'd you see in Knin?
5:10
Speaker 5: Yeah?
5:10
Speaker 6: Well, with Canaan, I thought it was interesting in the
5:13
Speaker 6: postgame when Robert Turbin said that, you know, he seemed
5:16
Speaker 6: more patient, but being patient is what he always had.
5:19
Speaker 6: But I think what he did better this in his
5:22
Speaker 6: first game was he was he wasn't too patient, So
5:26
Speaker 6: he was patient enough to wait for the hole to develop,
5:28
Speaker 6: and then he exploded.
5:30
Speaker 5: Through the hole.
5:30
Speaker 6: And then there was a couple of times where he
5:32
Speaker 6: bounced it to the outside and he's able to He's
5:34
Speaker 6: one of the better running backs in the league at
5:36
Speaker 6: making people miss, and so he did a few of
5:38
Speaker 6: those runs in Mason yards.
5:40
Speaker 5: I just liked how he was patient and.
5:42
Speaker 6: Then really decisive versus just being patient the whole time
5:45
Speaker 6: and trying to stay behind the line of scrimmage and
5:48
Speaker 6: you know, pick and pull for different little holes.
5:50
Speaker 5: He had a little bit of patience and then exploded
5:52
Speaker 5: to the hole and.
5:53
Speaker 6: Then Sharbonay, you know, with the only I think he
5:55
Speaker 6: had two or three carries, but the force at which
5:58
Speaker 6: he was he was running the ball could you could
6:00
Speaker 6: tell that he carries a punch. And so it's two
6:02
Speaker 6: totally different style running backs. I think will work well
6:06
Speaker 6: with this offense. Because early in the game, in the
6:08
Speaker 6: first half, if you look go back and look at
6:10
Speaker 6: the game, man, they were getting a lot of push
6:13
Speaker 6: on this Rams defense in the middle of the defense,
6:16
Speaker 6: even with Aaron Donald there, Like Aaron Donald was still
6:18
Speaker 6: doing his thing, but they were making some room to
6:21
Speaker 6: run the ball in the middle of that defense.
6:23
Speaker 5: And then in the second half they just didn't have
6:25
Speaker 5: the ball enough to even get that.
6:27
Speaker 6: Going fourteen plays is not enough to get anybody in
6:30
Speaker 6: any kind of rhythm.
6:31
Speaker 3: Well, one thing, Ray, I know, five point three yards
6:34
Speaker 3: of carry is going to work any given Sunday. So
6:36
Speaker 3: hopefully the Seahawks and can walk and get more opportunities.
6:39
Speaker 3: But overall, Ray, you know, you always want to hope
6:41
Speaker 3: to learn lessons you know about your team and about
6:44
Speaker 3: your players in wins. Obviously that wasn't the case for
6:46
Speaker 3: the Seahawks. But you know, can a game like this
6:49
Speaker 3: in Week one turn out to be a good thing?
6:52
Speaker 5: Yeah?
6:52
Speaker 6: Absolutely, I think because you know, we talked about this
6:55
Speaker 6: in the pregame and you don't want to rely on
6:57
Speaker 6: a bunch of rookies and young players. But what those
7:00
Speaker 6: young players I think probably learned yesterday, and I think
7:03
Speaker 6: this is why we kept hearing this idea around.
7:07
Speaker 5: They got the other team, wanted it more, they worked harder.
7:10
Speaker 6: I don't I think that's that was an internal locker
7:12
Speaker 6: room message that they were giving to themselves to kind
7:14
Speaker 6: of let everybody put everyone on notice that all the
7:17
Speaker 6: little details matter. And so whether it's like you're filling
7:21
Speaker 6: in the right gap, whether you're fitting in the right
7:24
Speaker 6: space that you're supposed to fit along the defensive line,
7:26
Speaker 6: if you're offensive line, if you're like getting.
7:28
Speaker 5: The right angle, the right footwork, the.
7:30
Speaker 6: Right pad level, the running back to quarterbacks, all those
7:33
Speaker 6: little bitty things matter. And I think that's what they
7:36
Speaker 6: were speaking to more than effort, because even when I
7:38
Speaker 6: went back and watched the film, I didn't say a
7:40
Speaker 6: lack of effort.
7:41
Speaker 5: Maybe I saw a lack of efforts.
7:43
Speaker 6: As it pertained to attention to the details, and I
7:46
Speaker 6: think that is what they're going to get back on.
7:48
Speaker 6: The smaller details, I think are the things that kind
7:50
Speaker 6: of cost them a lot in the in this game,
7:53
Speaker 6: especially on defense, a big ray.
7:57
Speaker 8: We know the tackles were banged up last game.
7:59
Speaker 7: You have eyes on the bench that I think a
8:01
Speaker 7: lot of fans fans are anxious to see. If you
8:05
Speaker 7: were the head coach of the offensive coordinator, would you
8:07
Speaker 7: explore with the lineup on that offensive line, even if
8:11
Speaker 7: your two tackles are healthy, would you mix things up
8:14
Speaker 7: or would you give this this group another chance to
8:16
Speaker 7: try to get things right?
8:18
Speaker 6: No, I think if Big Aid and Charles are healthy,
8:23
Speaker 6: did you stay with the same line you started with it?
8:25
Speaker 6: They were doing fun like they did well in the
8:28
Speaker 6: first half. That the sacks in the game came once
8:31
Speaker 6: the two tackles went out, and so they were protecting well,
8:34
Speaker 6: they were running the ball well, and so with the
8:37
Speaker 6: two tackles out, now you may have to figure some
8:39
Speaker 6: things out.
8:39
Speaker 5: Jake Curry and who normally showed up pretty good.
8:42
Speaker 6: He's not the most athletic dude, the most skillful guy,
8:44
Speaker 6: but he's a good football player and he doesn't normally
8:47
Speaker 6: give up pressures like that, and then Stone Foresight. When
8:50
Speaker 6: I went back and watched, it played better than I thought.
8:52
Speaker 6: The only thing is with those two in there, you're
8:54
Speaker 6: going to have to really, I think, rely more on
8:57
Speaker 6: the running game.
8:57
Speaker 5: Like use their physicality to kind of get the running.
8:59
Speaker 6: Game on to the feed the flats and pass and
9:02
Speaker 6: moving the pocket in the passing game. I don't know
9:04
Speaker 6: if they'll hold up if they have to play if
9:06
Speaker 6: you just drop back throwing the ball, just dropping straight
9:08
Speaker 6: back the whole game. So, but if they started, if
9:11
Speaker 6: Lucas and Charles are healthy, I don't I don't see
9:14
Speaker 6: any issue with what they have upfront and how they played.
9:18
Speaker 5: Ray.
9:18
Speaker 3: You know, every time the Seahawks play the Detroit Lions,
9:22
Speaker 3: you know, it makes me think of you. It is,
9:24
Speaker 3: in fact, the Ray Roberts Bull. I'm calling it right now, Bump.
9:26
Speaker 3: Anytime this game is referred to you from moving forward,
9:29
Speaker 3: it's the Ray Roberts Bull. We are excited for this game.
9:33
Speaker 3: It's gonna be fun. We get going at ten am
9:35
Speaker 3: on Seattle Sports in Seahawks Radio Network on Sunday. Big Ray,
9:39
Speaker 3: thanks for joining us and we'll talk to you later
9:40
Speaker 3: this week. Man.
9:41
Speaker 5: Thanks Ray, yes, sir, thanks for having me. Dog.
9:43
Speaker 3: All right, bump, let's get back into it. Tell everybody
9:46
Speaker 3: what we saw, what had happened, See what.
9:49
Speaker 1: Happened at first, What that happened was unhawked talk.
9:55
Speaker 3: It was just one of those days for the Hawks men.
9:57
Speaker 3: I mean a game where you were the favorites, most
9:59
Speaker 3: people thought you were. Come out there and handle business
10:01
Speaker 3: at home. Didn't go your way. I don't think anyone
10:04
Speaker 3: slept on the Rams. Definitely knowing in this building, because
10:06
Speaker 3: it doesn't matter who this Rams team is. It doesn't
10:08
Speaker 3: matter wh's coaching him. It's Jeff Fisher, if Sean McVay,
10:11
Speaker 3: doesn't matter if it was twenty thirteen when the Seahawks
10:13
Speaker 3: won or Super Bowl, if it's right now. The Rams
10:15
Speaker 3: play the Seahawks tough. It's a division game. It's always
10:18
Speaker 3: gonna be a tough between these two teams. But man,
10:21
Speaker 3: yesterday it was no different.
10:22
Speaker 5: Man.
10:22
Speaker 3: I mean, come right out of the gates, bump, opening drive,
10:26
Speaker 3: they had the set of the Seahawks ceter for a
10:28
Speaker 3: field goal, but the Rams come right back, punch them
10:31
Speaker 3: in the face, and they go sixteen plays seventy five yards,
10:36
Speaker 3: ending with a Kyrine Williams touchdown, making the score seven
10:38
Speaker 3: to three. Bombs not to start you were hoping for
10:40
Speaker 3: for Seattle.
10:42
Speaker 7: Nah Man, and they it seemed like twenty five plays.
10:45
Speaker 7: It took a long time, I believe you had. Each
10:47
Speaker 7: team had one possession in the first quarter, then was
10:49
Speaker 7: on to the second quarter. But then the Hawks to
10:51
Speaker 7: do their thing right. You go twelve plays, seventy five yards.
10:54
Speaker 7: You iso dk are not isolating. It was really an
10:57
Speaker 7: even a balanced set. We'll talk about this in film room.
11:00
Speaker 7: I got them one on one boom touchdown, ten to seven,
11:02
Speaker 7: and then you add another field goal before you head
11:05
Speaker 7: into the locker room.
11:06
Speaker 8: This thirteen to seven. You're feeling good about this team.
11:09
Speaker 7: The first half had its ups and downs, but you're ahead,
11:12
Speaker 7: so you're thinking, okay, second half are gonna come out
11:14
Speaker 7: and they'll be fine.
11:15
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's what we thought. We talked about at the
11:17
Speaker 3: halftime show, exactly the same thing you're saying now is Seahawks,
11:19
Speaker 3: you need to just fine tune a couple of little things.
11:21
Speaker 3: And that's exactly how we thought it'd go. You're playing
11:23
Speaker 3: the Rams, They're gonna play it tight. And then Sean
11:25
Speaker 3: McVay pal Moyer said this last night. They threw everything
11:27
Speaker 3: at us with all the emotions and everything that you
11:30
Speaker 3: know you do in a Sean McVay offense with Stafford back.
11:32
Speaker 3: So you thought the Seahawks ton of weather that storm,
11:34
Speaker 3: but man, coming out a halftime really demoralizing star at
11:37
Speaker 3: Rams have another great drive, going ten plays seventy six
11:40
Speaker 3: yards ending in another Kien Williams touchdown. The Rams would
11:43
Speaker 3: take the lead, bump, never look back. And here's really
11:46
Speaker 3: what you need to know in terms of the stats.
11:47
Speaker 3: In the second half, Rams scored on their final five possessions.
11:51
Speaker 3: On the Seahawks final five possessions, they went punt, punt, punt, punt,
11:55
Speaker 3: end of game and the Hawks ran fourteen plays in
11:57
Speaker 3: the second half.
11:59
Speaker 7: Four team plays, forty six plays total. They'll let you
12:03
Speaker 7: notice how much in control the Rams were. The Hawks
12:07
Speaker 7: had the ball for two minutes and thirty eight seconds
12:09
Speaker 7: and a third and two twenty eight in the fourth. Overall,
12:12
Speaker 7: the Rams dominated possession thirty nine minutes twenty three seconds
12:15
Speaker 7: to the Hawks twenty minutes and thirty seven seconds.
12:18
Speaker 8: And then Matthew Stafford.
12:19
Speaker 7: Reminded us, well, we knew who he was, so y'all
12:22
Speaker 7: must have forgot because I was gone, only played nine
12:24
Speaker 7: games last year. He goes twenty four to thirty eight,
12:26
Speaker 7: three thirty four and attacked the middle of the field.
12:30
Speaker 7: I think if you watch this game, even if you're
12:31
Speaker 7: just a casual fan to really know anything about football,
12:34
Speaker 7: you go, hey, why did they keep throwing it in
12:36
Speaker 7: between the hashes pushes the middle of the field.
12:38
Speaker 8: That's where they exploited this defense.
12:40
Speaker 3: Yeah, man, guys like Chu Chu at Well went crazy
12:43
Speaker 3: six receptions one hundred nineteen yards, and Pooka Nakua, the
12:46
Speaker 3: former U dow Husky for two years, had ten receptions
12:49
Speaker 3: one hundred and nineteen yards. He kind of did a
12:51
Speaker 3: nice job filling in that Cooper Cup role. Obviously those
12:53
Speaker 3: two players are not Cooper Cup, but they filled in
12:55
Speaker 3: that role nicely. There got open over the middle of field.
12:57
Speaker 3: They did a lot of things to work to get
12:59
Speaker 3: open off some of the pressure. The Seahawks were doing
13:01
Speaker 3: different things, and at the end of the day, it
13:03
Speaker 3: was a tail two halfs. The Seahawks couldn't get anything
13:05
Speaker 3: going in the second half, being outscored twenty three to zero.
13:09
Speaker 3: But Bump, here's why I'm gonna tell you Seahawks fans
13:11
Speaker 3: shouldn't feel that bad. I was thinking about this going
13:14
Speaker 3: through the drive chart. Okay, Seahawks did only have fourteen
13:17
Speaker 3: plays in the second half, right, this game really could
13:21
Speaker 3: have been impacted by three plays. And it's three third downs.
13:25
Speaker 3: So the first third down crucial. It's the first Seahawks
13:27
Speaker 3: first possession the second half. What's the score of that point?
13:30
Speaker 3: Fourteen to thirteen? You get it first down. Even if
13:33
Speaker 3: you don't score, maybe you flip the field. Maybe that
13:35
Speaker 3: changes the game a little bit. Next series, now they're
13:38
Speaker 3: down seventeen thirteen. Okay, that's a one score game. They
13:41
Speaker 3: can't convert on that third down, so you don't do
13:43
Speaker 3: anything to change field position, to do nothing, they take
13:45
Speaker 3: time off the clock, and then it happens. Then the
13:47
Speaker 3: next third down they have, now they're down twenty four
13:50
Speaker 3: to thirteen. Yes, they're down eleven points, but with nine
13:53
Speaker 3: to forty five in the fourth quarter. This is the NFL.
13:55
Speaker 3: That is essentially, you go down there and score, it's
13:57
Speaker 3: one possession game and you're right back in it. But
13:59
Speaker 3: to go to not convert on any one of those
14:02
Speaker 3: third downs, and then the next time they had a
14:03
Speaker 3: third down they're down twenty seven to thirteen. You don't
14:05
Speaker 3: get sack two times and the game's over all. That's
14:08
Speaker 3: to say, do they need to execute better? Of course
14:10
Speaker 3: they do. They need to bet on a third down. Yeah,
14:11
Speaker 3: two for nine is not good enough. But I'm just
14:13
Speaker 3: saying it's not as far as people think it was.
14:16
Speaker 3: They not played great, of course not, but they're right there.
14:18
Speaker 3: If they execute on a couple of those plays, they
14:20
Speaker 3: can do better. You said it earlier. Do you think
14:22
Speaker 3: the Bengals are gonna score a zero or three points
14:24
Speaker 3: the rest of the year? Of course not. So I
14:27
Speaker 3: just think people need to just pump the brakes a
14:29
Speaker 3: little bit, you know what I mean?
14:30
Speaker 7: Yeah, man, it's it's the gift in the curse of
14:33
Speaker 7: Week one because teams that came out and bald all
14:37
Speaker 7: fans to think of Super Bowl, baby playoffs, heavy division,
14:40
Speaker 7: we got it now. Teams that came out and the
14:42
Speaker 7: team didn't look as hot. Then you know you're thinking,
14:45
Speaker 7: oh my god, what have we gonna do? This guy
14:46
Speaker 7: is falling. But this is a game of adjustments. The
14:50
Speaker 7: curse also of football is that you got a week
14:52
Speaker 7: to digest and talk about come up with scenarios. So
14:55
Speaker 7: you know what we understand they took a l wasn't
14:57
Speaker 7: a great performance, but you and I know better then
15:00
Speaker 7: it jumped to too many conclusions after week one.
15:03
Speaker 3: Oh of course not, of course not. So let's get
15:05
Speaker 3: right into let's talk about the playmakers.
15:12
Speaker 1: Playmakers.
15:17
Speaker 3: Holy all right, we're looking at the playmakers from this
15:22
Speaker 3: matchup in Week one against the Rams. It's not a
15:25
Speaker 3: big of a list as you think, just because you
15:27
Speaker 3: look at the stat sheet. Not a lot of plays
15:28
Speaker 3: on offense, too many plays on defense. But I'll get
15:30
Speaker 3: it started with the running back who did look well,
15:32
Speaker 3: ken Walker. Twelve carries, sixty four yards average, five point
15:36
Speaker 3: three yards of carry. We talked about it with Ray
15:38
Speaker 3: Roberts a little bit earlier. If they had more opportunities,
15:40
Speaker 3: I think ken Walker could have a really big game,
15:43
Speaker 3: you know, a couple of runs out on the sideline
15:44
Speaker 3: and just being patient, all the stuff that they talked
15:46
Speaker 3: about Turbot talked about. I think that's a really good
15:48
Speaker 3: sign for ken Walker. You know, he had been banged
15:51
Speaker 3: up with some injuries throughout camp. We saw no inkling
15:54
Speaker 3: of that at all on Sunday, So I think it's
15:56
Speaker 3: a good start for ken Walker. Once he gets more
15:58
Speaker 3: than twelve carries. If he's around twenty years carries or
16:00
Speaker 3: so that he's going over one hundred yards every game.
16:02
Speaker 3: I think that's how good he is.
16:04
Speaker 8: Yeah, I was surprised with how he looked, honestly.
16:05
Speaker 7: I know with that growing entry, that's your lateral movement explosiveness,
16:08
Speaker 7: and he looked pretty good. Man had a couple of
16:10
Speaker 7: big runs, so good for him. Yeah, Man, and DK
16:12
Speaker 7: Metcalf looked good Man. Three receptions, forty seven yards, one touchdown.
16:16
Speaker 7: The touchdown that he made, he got into his bag,
16:19
Speaker 7: like I see. I keep seeing the evolution of DK
16:22
Speaker 7: every single year. And now with that touchdown, he tied
16:24
Speaker 7: Daryl Taylor for sixth places on the Seattle's all time
16:27
Speaker 7: receiving touchdown list with thirty six.
16:30
Speaker 8: So it's you can.
16:31
Speaker 7: Only go up from here, man, you can only go
16:33
Speaker 7: up when it comes to DK and Tyler and JSN.
16:36
Speaker 7: I know we're not gonna mention those guys, but when
16:38
Speaker 7: you see d K do well, that means more attention
16:40
Speaker 7: will be on him and other guy's be able to eat.
16:42
Speaker 3: Yeah, no question about it. Again. It's all about It's
16:44
Speaker 3: all about for offensively, it's all about snaps. You don't
16:47
Speaker 3: have forty six naps it's not enough to get your
16:49
Speaker 3: playmakers really involved. But good to see DK get loose
16:51
Speaker 3: a little bit there. And then I think the best
16:54
Speaker 3: performance of the day was number fifty four, his big homecoming.
16:58
Speaker 3: That moment was really special to Washington. Him out of
17:00
Speaker 3: the tunnel. You know, Bobby Wagner back in the Seahawks uniform.
17:03
Speaker 3: All is right with the world, and the crowd has
17:05
Speaker 3: shown their love because everyone to see how obviously loves
17:07
Speaker 3: Bobby Wagner. He's a future Hall of Famer. And the
17:10
Speaker 3: thing about people in the Pacific Northwest is you claim
17:12
Speaker 3: Bobby Wagner is yours man. When you see Bobby on
17:14
Speaker 3: the street, you have some pride because you know that
17:16
Speaker 3: dude put on for the city and put on for
17:19
Speaker 3: this team for a really long time. So good to
17:20
Speaker 3: see him back. And then on the field, he didn't disappoint.
17:23
Speaker 3: Nineteen tackles nine solo won TfL. And before people jump
17:27
Speaker 3: on us and say, hey, nineteen tackles, who cares, they're
17:30
Speaker 3: all down the field, blah blah blah, go back and
17:32
Speaker 3: watch the film. He made a ton of tackles at
17:34
Speaker 3: around the line of scrimmage and he was active, So
17:37
Speaker 3: you know, I think he's gonna get home more on
17:39
Speaker 3: some sack opportunities as this year it goes on. But
17:41
Speaker 3: it was really good to see Bobby back because he's
17:43
Speaker 3: a twelve year VET. But I have no idea if I.
17:45
Speaker 7: Was watching him on Sunday, Yeah, man, was it was
17:49
Speaker 7: nice to hear the roar when they introduced Bobby. Everyone
17:52
Speaker 7: gets some love when you run out the tunnel to
17:54
Speaker 7: do the introductions, but when fifty four his name was called,
17:57
Speaker 7: it was different. It felt different. Good to see him, yeah, man.
18:00
Speaker 7: Another guy that I did not expect to see with
18:01
Speaker 7: Jordan brooks Man. He had tours ACL late in the season.
18:05
Speaker 7: He has surgery this year, and I'm going out to
18:08
Speaker 7: training camp. I'm seeing him running around and doing his thing,
18:11
Speaker 7: him and Jamal rehab and I go, wo, we'll see
18:13
Speaker 7: him in like maybe November or something like that.
18:15
Speaker 8: Nah.
18:15
Speaker 7: A few weeks before the season starts. Pete Carroll let
18:18
Speaker 7: us us know that he's off the Peoples, off the
18:19
Speaker 7: pup list, and he might be available. Even then, I'm thinking,
18:22
Speaker 7: no way, he's gonna play week one. He did play
18:25
Speaker 7: Week one. He had twelve tackles. I mean, that's probably
18:28
Speaker 7: one of the greatest recoveries I've seen other than Adrian
18:31
Speaker 7: Peterson back in the day.
18:33
Speaker 3: Yeah, and the fact that you watched him, you have again,
18:36
Speaker 3: you'd have no idea if you said he's coming off
18:38
Speaker 3: of a serious injury, You'd be like, where was it?
18:40
Speaker 3: What need with shoulder, with toe, with ankle? No, Jordan Brooks,
18:43
Speaker 3: And he looked fast, he was running around, he's running hitting,
18:45
Speaker 3: looked like to Jordan Brooks of old. And he got
18:47
Speaker 3: those twelve tackles even on kind of a little bit
18:49
Speaker 3: of pitch count because he was he took some plays
18:51
Speaker 3: off when it was either Nickel or that Devin Bush
18:55
Speaker 3: got a couple reps. So we'd love to see Jordan Brooks.
18:57
Speaker 3: He's only going to ramp up and keep this thing going.
18:59
Speaker 3: So excited for him in there, bump. We'll get into
19:02
Speaker 3: the receiver roundup. Not a lot, not a lot to
19:05
Speaker 3: kind of go through here. You know, as a team,
19:07
Speaker 3: there's only sixteen receptions. Metcalf led all receivers three for
19:11
Speaker 3: forty seven and a touchdown, Disley two receptions, Smith and
19:14
Speaker 3: Jigbu three receptions, only thirteen yards. And yeah, to have
19:18
Speaker 3: no one over fifties is a tough day. Sixteen receptions
19:22
Speaker 3: one hundred and twelve yards and one touchdown for the unit.
19:25
Speaker 7: Yeah, it was a tough day, man. No one had
19:27
Speaker 7: more than five targets. That's DK and Kenneth Walker. We
19:30
Speaker 7: did get to see Jackson Smith and Jig, but he
19:32
Speaker 7: had a big reception. I believe that was a third down,
19:35
Speaker 7: one of the few third downs that the Hawks did convert.
19:38
Speaker 7: It was a long of ten, but overall, nothing really
19:41
Speaker 7: impressive here. You can only go up from here. That's
19:44
Speaker 7: why I'm excited. I really just want to get to
19:45
Speaker 7: next week. I understand what this podcast is, nas. We
19:47
Speaker 7: gotta do it. We gotta recap this thing. But when
19:50
Speaker 7: you look at the performances and the numbers, you're thinking, Okay,
19:53
Speaker 7: we won't see another week like this, But we're not
19:55
Speaker 7: done here.
19:55
Speaker 8: What we got next?
19:56
Speaker 5: Man?
19:56
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, no, I can't wait. Next time we look
19:58
Speaker 3: this box work bump, we're gonna see multiple one hundred
20:01
Speaker 3: yard receivers. I promise you that, promise you that. But
20:04
Speaker 3: we'll take a tight, a nice little local dive inside
20:06
Speaker 3: the film room. Look at one of the one of
20:08
Speaker 3: the good plays on offense. This was when Gino Smith
20:10
Speaker 3: found DK metcalf for a ten yard touchdown.
20:13
Speaker 2: Twelfth play on the drive, second down and nine, Sharbone
20:16
Speaker 2: stays in the back of here comes to blitz.
20:17
Speaker 3: Gino has time throws.
20:19
Speaker 4: It over the top the cap touchdown.
20:22
Speaker 3: Shay Hawks.
20:25
Speaker 1: The Rams blitz.
20:27
Speaker 4: They go to Amanda man on DK Metcalf. Not a chance, baby,
20:31
Speaker 4: Gino Smith walks it up over the top from ten
20:35
Speaker 4: yards out. Metcalf has now tied Darryl Turner for sixth
20:39
Speaker 4: place on the Seahawks all time receiving touchdowns list with
20:43
Speaker 4: thirty six.
20:44
Speaker 3: And they made it look easy. Bump break this down. Man,
20:48
Speaker 3: Oh my goodness.
20:49
Speaker 8: Man, you're on the ten yard line, the nine yard line.
20:51
Speaker 7: It's second in nine and what we see as we
20:53
Speaker 7: see two high safeties and the the DBS are showing
20:56
Speaker 7: you man covers. You're you're thinking if I'm Gino, I'm
20:59
Speaker 7: thinking priest now. Oh yeah, I'm about to give DK
21:01
Speaker 7: a shot. He's one on one on the outside. You
21:03
Speaker 7: got Jackson Smith and Jig but inside and then the
21:06
Speaker 7: Rams send a blitz. I got two guys going, so
21:09
Speaker 7: they're sending six. You have five offensive linemen. You got
21:13
Speaker 7: one running back to block. I think Zach Sharpman does
21:15
Speaker 7: a great job picking of the blitz given Gino just
21:17
Speaker 7: enough time. So now let's talk about DK and his release.
21:20
Speaker 7: We call this a tempoverlease. He jumps off the line
21:23
Speaker 7: of scrimmage, attacks the space in between him and the
21:26
Speaker 7: defender and does a little walk towards him a little
21:29
Speaker 7: bit and then shakes him at the top, shows him
21:31
Speaker 7: an inside move gets the dB to buy Gino. All
21:33
Speaker 7: he has to do is get to his back foot
21:34
Speaker 7: and put it in a spot and the rest is there.
21:36
Speaker 7: It was probably the easiest touchdown of DK's career.
21:39
Speaker 8: How many is that thirty six?
21:41
Speaker 7: Yeah, that was the easiest one of his career, all
21:43
Speaker 7: because of what he did at the line of scrimmage
21:45
Speaker 7: and Geno doing a great job of understanding what they're
21:48
Speaker 7: in and taking a shot with his guy.
21:50
Speaker 3: Do you remember when the conversation was about whether DK
21:52
Speaker 3: could run routes? Yes, this is that kind of laughable
21:55
Speaker 3: now thinking about that. I mean, for a long time,
21:58
Speaker 3: everyone's like, well, why don't know, he just fask run
22:00
Speaker 3: from a defensive back perspective right here? You know the call,
22:03
Speaker 3: so you know they're bringing pressure and you're just really
22:06
Speaker 3: hoping if you're that DV man, we better get home,
22:09
Speaker 3: right because that's a lot of space to be on
22:11
Speaker 3: an island alone. You know, he tries. If you watch him,
22:14
Speaker 3: he looks like he's inside leverage right to start, and
22:16
Speaker 3: he kind of looks like he's trying to protect outside.
22:18
Speaker 3: And then because of that, Dk gives him a little bit.
22:21
Speaker 3: He knows bringing pressure. It's on the goal line, so
22:23
Speaker 3: he you know, goes right downhill, drives on the what
22:26
Speaker 3: he thinks is a slant in the second he takes
22:28
Speaker 3: one step. We call that the oh bleep reed as
22:31
Speaker 3: defensive backs because you know right there, once that foot
22:33
Speaker 3: goes in the wrong place, you're just hoping Gino is
22:36
Speaker 3: gonna get hit or the ball gets thrown in the stands.
22:38
Speaker 3: But Murphy's law usually when you're that guy that gets
22:41
Speaker 3: beat like that, that the ball's gonna find you. That's
22:43
Speaker 3: just that's life. You're not gonna get lucky. So cool
22:47
Speaker 3: to see Dk Metcalf showing nakend runnroutes obviously we've known
22:50
Speaker 3: that for a minute, but just cooking a Rams defender
22:52
Speaker 3: and hopefully we get to see more of that as
22:54
Speaker 3: the season goes on. But like we said, the Seahawks
22:58
Speaker 3: didn't go their way, losing to the Rams and the
23:00
Speaker 3: clock ran out.
23:04
Speaker 5: On me.
23:05
Speaker 2: Taken by Unley. They're just gonna let the clock wind down.
23:07
Speaker 2: Pet's not even gonna bother taking that last time out.
23:12
Speaker 3: Oh it was a tail two halfs. Seahawks did not
23:15
Speaker 3: punt in the first half, but punted every possession in
23:17
Speaker 3: the second half. Rams scored in every drive of the
23:19
Speaker 3: second half.
23:20
Speaker 5: Bump.
23:20
Speaker 3: That's pretty much all you need to know how things
23:22
Speaker 3: went and how this game went from a Seahawk thirteen
23:24
Speaker 3: to seven lead to a thirty to thirteen loss.
23:27
Speaker 8: Yep, they dominated the time of possession and they.
23:30
Speaker 7: Did all of this without Cooper cup Man, this one
23:33
Speaker 7: touchdown from the Seahawks all day, the third down was
23:36
Speaker 7: a problem man. At one point in one drive, the
23:39
Speaker 7: Rams went five for five on third downs. End of
23:41
Speaker 7: the day eleven to seventeen. The Hawks were two for
23:44
Speaker 7: nine on third downs. Whenever you see that, you can
23:46
Speaker 7: just assume that the offense wasn't moving the ball down
23:48
Speaker 7: the field.
23:50
Speaker 3: Yeah, man, it's a it's a day that you want
23:52
Speaker 3: to forget, man. And I think after today, Today's tell
23:54
Speaker 3: the Truth Monday here at Virginia Mason Athletic Center. The coaches,
23:57
Speaker 3: the players, everyone's reviewing the film, looking at it. But
23:59
Speaker 3: it's over once the meetings over today, Bump, they're turning
24:02
Speaker 3: the page. We're not gonna look about any of the
24:04
Speaker 3: bad stuff. The one good thing, though, another good thing.
24:07
Speaker 3: Like I told you, we've been telling you reasons to
24:08
Speaker 3: be optimistic today. Another one is the run defense, allowing
24:11
Speaker 3: just ninety two yards on forty carries. Okay, and here's
24:15
Speaker 3: the thing I've heard from some people throughout the day,
24:18
Speaker 3: even your co host Bump talking about, you know, still
24:22
Speaker 3: not sure about that run defense. And that's true. It's
24:25
Speaker 3: one game. Just like as bad as the Seahawks look,
24:27
Speaker 3: we can't take everything from one game. What I will say, though,
24:30
Speaker 3: is anytime any team in the National Football League runs
24:32
Speaker 3: the ball forty times and you only give up ninety
24:34
Speaker 3: two yards, that's a good day because at some point,
24:38
Speaker 3: if you that volume of carries, you're gonna get some yards.
24:41
Speaker 3: And yes, did they get a couple one yard touchdowns, Yes,
24:44
Speaker 3: did they get a couple of third and shorts. Okay,
24:46
Speaker 3: that doesn't take away from this fact that the Seahawks
24:48
Speaker 3: were making tackles that the line of scrimmage one two,
24:50
Speaker 3: three yards. So that's another good sign. I hopefull they
24:54
Speaker 3: can build on this going in next week. Bump, but
24:56
Speaker 3: uh man, I'm just excited. You know, this is as
24:58
Speaker 3: far as we're concerned. We're done talking about it. It's
25:01
Speaker 3: over right done. I'm ready for it. What I real quick?
25:05
Speaker 3: As we close out? What are you looking forward to
25:07
Speaker 3: this week? A man, I'm looking forward to Tuesday. I'm
25:11
Speaker 3: looking forward to prepping forward the Detroit Lions. I'm looking
25:14
Speaker 3: forward to seeing the adjustments that this staff is going
25:17
Speaker 3: to make.
25:18
Speaker 7: Lots of veteran veterans on this staff. There's no way
25:21
Speaker 7: the Hawk's going to come out and have the same
25:23
Speaker 7: performance that they had against the Rams. So hey, turn
25:26
Speaker 7: the page, just a rap. Okay, digest it and blush
25:30
Speaker 7: it and let's go.
25:31
