A Flagtastic Finish: Seahawks Survive the Flags in a Sloppy Game · Sea Hawkers Podcast: for Seattle Seahawks fans

• 0:10
  Brandan: Hello, and welcome to the Sea Hawkers podcast.
• 0:14
  I'm your host Brandan Schulze, and I am joined by my good buddy Adam
• 0:19
  Emmert, as our Seattle Seahawks, Adam, get the win 30 to 23.
• 0:25
  We won, buddy.
• 0:27
  Adam: Hey, the win was lovely, but that game was ugly.
• 0:30
  look man, I'll tell you what right out of the, right off the rip.
• 0:34
  I never wanna see Scott Novak again in my football life.
• 0:37
  Never again.
• 0:37
  S-
• 0:37
  Brandan: Scott Novak?
• 0:39
  Adam: Yeah.
• 0:39
  That was the official, the official.
• 0:41
  Brandan: Oh, okay.
• 0:42
  Adam: Yeah.
• 0:42
  Yep.
• 0:43
  I don't ever wanna see him again.
• 0:45
  Brandan: Well, the thing that I don't wanna ever see again is a game that
• 0:48
  start, starts off with our opponent's quarterback throwing an interception, and
• 0:52
  then our Seahawks quarterback immediately throwing it right back to the opponent.
• 0:56
  Like, that's not a, the way to start a game either.
• 0:59
  Adam: Look, I, I, this was a win, and so we're gonna
• 1:02
  celebrate wins and all of that.
• 1:04
  But because it was kind of an ugly game, you start out with
• 1:07
  the turnovers here, Brandan.
• 1:09
  there's gonna be a lot to talk about this game that when you look
• 1:12
  at it, you go, "You know what?
• 1:14
  You play like this on the regular in the NFL, you're gonna get
• 1:17
  beat nine times out of 10."
• 1:19
  but that shows you the disparity between these two teams right now
• 1:22
  between the Seahawks and the Chargers.
• 1:24
  Brandan: Well, it, it was a turnover-filled game, but all those
• 1:27
  turnovers were on the side of the Char- not all of them, but, 80% of
• 1:32
  them were on the side of the Chargers.
• 1:33
  Yeah.
• 1:34
  But let's just get this out of the way quickly, Adam.
• 1:36
  penalties, because we had- Oh, God … oh, man, I had it pulled up, too.
• 1:42
  Where'd they go?
• 1:43
  The, the NFL's trying to hide the penalty numbers from me.
• 1:46
  16 for 130 yards for- Good Lord … the Chargers, and 14
• 1:52
  for 150 yards for the Seahawks.
• 1:55
  I, I thought that this was interesting.
• 1:57
  The Seahawks rushed for five first downs.
• 2:00
  they also had five first downs off of penalties.
• 2:02
  The Chargers also had five first downs off of penalties compared
• 2:07
  to SNCC's rushing first downs.
• 2:08
  Adam: Seahawks personal fouls were the best play the
• 2:11
  Chargers had all second half.
• 2:13
  they could not stop committing stupid 15-yard penalties.
• 2:17
  Just couldn't do it.
• 2:18
  Mike having a meltdown at the end of half, too, like, when Emmanwori
• 2:20
  picks up that one, and, I'm sure he got a talking to at half.
• 2:24
  But, you know, one of the good things that comes out of games like this
• 2:27
  is you come away with a dub, right?
• 2:28
  You get the three and one.
• 2:30
  Brandan: .
• 2:30
  Adam: But there's a lot that Mike can chew, into this team
• 2:34
  and just get on some people's asses and that it'll be good.
• 2:37
  It'll be a good thing for him.
• 2:38
  Brandan: Yeah.
• 2:39
  The, well, you mentioned the personal foul being m- their best play.
• 2:43
  But they did, Quentin Johnston had to make me eat my words one
• 2:47
  time with his one catch of 44 yards.
• 2:49
  Oh, God.
• 2:50
  On a fourth down play.
• 2:52
  Adam: Fourth and seven, all I need is the Seahawks to kick a field goal for
• 2:56
  me to hit my bet for Blue Friday bets-
• 2:58
  on second half points.
• 2:59
  It would've certainly ended up that way, or at least a touchdown at that
• 3:02
  point, and they can't get off the field.
• 3:04
  Like, they get some pressure on the edge, and Herbert throws up a Hail Mary.
• 3:09
  Pritchett can't seem to locate it.
• 3:10
  Job's late coming over, and Quentin Johnston has his one miraculous catch that
• 3:15
  he's had in probably a season and a half.
• 3:18
  Brandan: Sam Darnold finishes the day with 13 completions is
• 3:22
  all on 22 attempts, 168 yards.
• 3:25
  He has two touchdowns, and I, I like the fact that they finished the day with
• 3:30
  138 yards on the ground, 33 carries.
• 3:34
  So definitely balanced in the way of the run game.
• 3:38
  But, I…
• 3:40
  Well, maybe I shouldn't say but.
• 3:42
  how about that, Adam?
• 3:43
  Adam: How about that?
• 3:44
  no, it was balanced.
• 3:46
  I will say that at least they stuck with the run game.
• 3:50
  It wasn't- Yeah … it wasn't pretty.
• 3:52
  It wasn't pretty by any stretch of the imagination, and it did seem for
• 3:55
  the first half of the game there, they were starting out, it was like, if it's
• 3:58
  an inside run, it's gonna be Wilson.
• 4:00
  If it's an outside run, it's gonna be Holani.
• 4:02
  Holani cannot catch the edge for nothing.
• 4:04
  Like, it just isn't there.
• 4:06
  You saw Fleury make a nice adjustment at halftime and get Shaheed the ball on the
• 4:10
  perimeter out of the backfield, and that helped out quite a bit in the run game.
• 4:14
  We can get to the pass game a little bit and Sam's day, because I think there's
• 4:17
  some important things to talk about in the first half for Sam, but- Look, man,
• 4:21
  it does highlight how badly we're gonna need, now on IR, Jadarian Price.
• 4:26
  Like, that happened after we did our news and notes on Saturday.
• 4:29
  Brandan: Our Saturday show, yeah.
• 4:30
  Adam: Yeah.
• 4:30
  and then also the return of Ja- Zach Charbonnet.
• 4:34
  We're gonna, we're gonna need those boys.
• 4:36
  Brandan: Well, I guess while we're talking about the IR news for, Jadarian
• 4:40
  Price, they al- they're also bringing in Joe Mixon, for a look, so- Hmm
• 4:44
  great.
• 4:45
  you know, we all know, - I
• 4:48
  Adam: like Prime Joe Mixon.
• 4:49
  Brandan: I, I mean- Yeah … Joe Mixon, the running back, in
• 4:53
  pri- in his prime was good.
• 4:54
  I, I don't like the Joe Mixon's past either.
• 4:58
  I know, I know it's been a while since, his college days, but, you
• 5:02
  know, John Schneider- Oh, yeah … was pretty emphatic about his, stance
• 5:05
  on hitting women, and, that was something that Joe Mixon did, was,
• 5:10
  punch another student in the face, during his time at Oklahoma.
• 5:13
  So, GodzeraHawk, $10 super chat.
• 5:16
  I have some concerns, would be an understatement.
• 5:19
  Yeah.
• 5:19
  But a win is a win is a win, and we got the win.
• 5:23
  And, yeah, I, the, the run game, I, I guess for the volume that they did it, I,
• 5:30
  I was ultimately happy with the numbers.
• 5:33
  With Emanuel Wilson, he was over four yards per carry.
• 5:37
  As a team…
• 5:37
  Well, no, he wasn't over four yards per carry, was he?
• 5:40
  he, right at 3.9,
• 5:41
  but over four yards per carry.
• 5:43
  As a team, 4.2.
• 5:44
  That helped out by the Rasheed Shaheed carries, where,
• 5:48
  he got the 128 yard touchdown.
• 5:51
  Adam, we, we've been saying, "Hey, if you want some speed out
• 5:53
  of the backfield, maybe you give it to our dude Rasheed Shaheed."
• 5:57
  He's been the guy who I think has had a few daggers sent his way-
• 6:01
  Mm-hmm … especially with his performance so far in comparison to
• 6:04
  his contract, especially when you look at the contract that, it being
• 6:08
  similar to Kenneth Walker, that, …
• 6:11
  People are, ha- are making that direct comparison.
• 6:13
  Yeah.
• 6:13
  But Shaheed gets the ball, goes into the end zone, 28 yard touchdown,
• 6:18
  puts the Seahawks on the board early.
• 6:20
  Adam: You bet.
• 6:20
  Nice play.
• 6:21
  Kupp had a fantastic block on that play as well.
• 6:24
  I actually think Fleury in the scheme as a whole has looked pretty good, and
• 6:30
  good for him for making the adjustment at halftime and getting the ball into
• 6:33
  Shaheed's hand for a couple perimeter runs instead of trying to, get
• 6:37
  Holani out on the edge, which was, you know, a fool's errand at that point.
• 6:42
  But, let's get to, let's get to some of Sam's play in this game in,
• 6:48
  first off, the first pick, like duder.
• 6:51
  Brandan: Dude.
• 6:52
  Adam: Come on.
• 6:52
  Well,
• 6:52
  Brandan: Holani did slip.
• 6:54
  Adam: Oh, he missed Holani completely.
• 6:56
  Like, he, he threw it to directly to the, to the other dude.
• 6:59
  -
• 7:00
  Brandan: Well, I, I think if Holani doesn't slip, then he's…
• 7:03
  I think he's counting on Holani then maybe being in position then
• 7:07
  Adam: to- To make a
• 7:08
  Brandan: screen or make a tackle
• 7:08
  'cause it was a mismatch, right?
• 7:09
  The…
• 7:10
  I think, I think you look at that and you go, "Oh, Holani on Tuli Tuipulotu.
• 7:14
  That, that is a mismatch that I feel like we would wanna take advantage
• 7:18
  of," and then he slips, and then the ball goes right into Tuli's hands
• 7:23
  Adam: Okay.
• 7:24
  Brandan: looked like a- I'm trying to be generous here to Sam- Yeah
• 7:26
  on that one.
• 7:26
  Adam: It looked like this was a bad day for Sam throughout the first half.
• 7:29
  I thought this was one of the worst halves of football I've seen Sam play in a while.
• 7:34
  specifically on third down, 'cause if we kinda go through some
• 7:37
  of those third downs, this wasn't a scheme problem on third down today.
• 7:41
  This was a Sam Darnold problem.
• 7:43
  You got the, one of the first third downs where he holds the ball for
• 7:47
  fricking ever and then ends up taking an intentional grounding.
• 7:51
  And the color commentator, whoever, Logan Ryan, he, "No,
• 7:56
  this guy's covered up, this guy's covered up, this guy's covered up."
• 7:58
  And it's like, yeah, but not this guy over here-
• 8:01
  the check down to the back who's wide ass open.
• 8:04
  Right.
• 8:04
  Like, the, didn't get to the check down.
• 8:06
  Then he's got another third down where, you know, the color commentator
• 8:11
  makes a big deal about missing the JSN being open, but they high-low the corner
• 8:17
  there, and he chooses to throw the low ball to Barner, which is a fine decision.
• 8:21
  You would've picked up the first down.
• 8:23
  Brandan: Right.
• 8:23
  Adam: He just misses the throw.
• 8:24
  Brandan: Right.
• 8:25
  Adam: He puts it way too out in front of Barner.
• 8:27
  Just a bad ball.
• 8:28
  No reason for it to be a bad ball.
• 8:30
  And then the next third down-
• 8:32
  Brandan: He had that one out to JSN where he was wide open, and I, I don't know
• 8:36
  if he was a little jittery because of the, the first, throw to the side,
• 8:40
  like the first pass of the game to why he wasn't going to the sidelines at all.
• 8:44
  Adam: Here's the thing.
• 8:44
  Okay, if you're, if you're jittery about throwing it to the
• 8:47
  sideline, that's totally fine.
• 8:48
  He ends up throwing it a little deeper downfield.
• 8:49
  I'm not sure who he's even targeting.
• 8:51
  But he has JSN wide open on the out, decide- turns that down.
• 8:57
  Okay, fine.
• 8:58
  Don't throw it down the field.
• 8:59
  Look at Kupp on the drag route that's coming underneath.
• 9:02
  He's wide ass open.
• 9:04
  Like, it's an easy first down that'll run everybody off
• 9:07
  and throw it underneath play.
• 9:09
  Yeah.
• 9:09
  Like, it was right there.
• 9:10
  I didn't think Sam saw it today very well.
• 9:13
  Yeah.
• 9:13
  And, you know, had a, had a rough first half.
• 9:16
  Settled down a bit in the second half, ripped some throws, had a
• 9:18
  couple touchdowns and, was able to lead the team to victory.
• 9:21
  But, I, I didn't see that as a Fleury problem when it came to the third downs.
• 9:26
  That felt like execution from Sam's part.
• 9:29
  Brandan: Yeah.
• 9:29
  And, like I said, only 13 completions on the day.
• 9:32
  So, y- I think Barner had a drop that was in there.
• 9:36
  JSN finishes- He- Finished the day with 76 yards total.
• 9:41
  He led the team in receiving yards on five catches.
• 9:44
  Emanuel Wilson was, next up with three receptions for 39 yards.
• 9:50
  How about our guy Tory Horton, Adam, getting into the end
• 9:52
  zone, getting the touchdown.
• 9:54
  Yeah.
• 9:54
  And, that was his only catch of the day, but he got one into the end zone.
• 9:58
  Adam: Hey, it was Tory time.
• 10:00
  I love Tory time.
• 10:01
  And, that was a cool play call, too.
• 10:03
  I mean, it looked like they had it as kind of a, you know, look at me kinda
• 10:07
  play where Sam gets to the line, check with me- They, they're in that heavy run
• 10:10
  formation, off balance to the left-hand side, and, just Horton split off
• 10:15
  to the right, which, what a sneaky, sneaky personnel way to get to that.
• 10:20
  Because, you know, even the announcer made the comment,
• 10:22
  "Well, JSN's out on the field.
• 10:23
  That kinda tells you more run than anything."
• 10:25
  But all Tory Horton does is catch touchdowns.
• 10:28
  Like- … that's what he's done since he's got on this team, and, a
• 10:31
  great guy to have out there for it.
• 10:32
  The DB doesn't even try to cover it, and Horton scores easily.
• 10:36
  Brandan: Well, yeah, they were just all locked in on the run with Horton
• 10:40
  being only, the only one on the outside.
• 10:42
  And yeah, all he d- has to do is step into the end zone and Sam throws a strike.
• 10:46
  Adam: Yep Yeah, pretty sweet.
• 10:48
  yeah, but then the offense kind of stumbles in the fourth quarter
• 10:51
  after, you know, pulling ahead, being up 17, and can't really get it going.
• 10:56
  And some of that was the defense giving up, long drives on the s- the dumbest
• 11:01
  of penalties that- … you'll ever see.
• 11:04
  Brandan: That was the annoying part, the penalties, 'cause third down
• 11:07
  efficiency on the day, pretty good.
• 11:10
  the Chargers had five third down conversions on 15 attempts.
• 11:15
  Now, they did have the two.
• 11:17
  Okay.
• 11:17
  They were 100% on their fourth down efficiency.
• 11:20
  So they…
• 11:21
  But they did beat the Seahawks on third down, 'cause we were 3 of 12.
• 11:25
  So not a great day for us either on third down.
• 11:29
  And, I think that's probably what led to this.
• 11:33
  The flags obviously making it feel sloppy.
• 11:37
  It felt like a preseason game w- with- It
• 11:39
  Adam: really did
• 11:40
  Brandan: all the flags, and then a lot of the…
• 11:42
  The, Fleury had some nice calls mixed in there.
• 11:46
  But then, yeah, a lot of it, like Nate Schutze was saying, felt like we went
• 11:49
  into the four-minute offense too early.
• 11:51
  It, it did feel rather basic in terms of, you know, just trying to run the football.
• 11:58
  And maybe it was an overemphasis after last week of being a little bit
• 12:03
  too light with running the football.
• 12:05
  Adam: Well, look, if we're gonna praise Brian Fleury from getting to the
• 12:08
  four-minute offense early, bleeding out the clock against the Cardinals, we,
• 12:13
  we can't kill him for trying to attempt to do the, the same thing late in this game.
• 12:19
  And really, the reason why you do that, just, you know, in terms of philosophy for
• 12:24
  the team and what Coach Mike was probably thinking, up until that point it felt
• 12:28
  like even with a couple personal fouls, like the defense was giving up nothing.
• 12:32
  Like, you- Yeah … there's no way you thought that they were
• 12:34
  giving up 10 fourth quarter points.
• 12:36
  Brandan: No, no.
• 12:37
  Not the way the defense was playing.
• 12:39
  I, I thought that they'd be able to close it out, and, ultimately the
• 12:44
  Chargers get a field goal right before getting the ball back for the final
• 12:47
  time that they needed to try and score.
• 12:50
  Then we had, Uchenna Nwosu closing it out, getting the fumble.
• 12:53
  We've got Ryan911 coming in with a 999 super chat, our live executive producer.
• 13:00
  Go Hawks.
• 13:01
  Need more Wildcat though.
• 13:02
  No Wildcat on the day, Adam.
• 13:04
  Adam: not sad about that.
• 13:06
  I can't stand Wildcat, never wanna see it.
• 13:08
  one thing I do like to see more though, because Clinton's here in the
• 13:11
  chat, and he's running this for us- Yeah
• 13:13
  it's like, let's talk some screen game, boys.
• 13:15
  And, we've seen some successful screens out of Fleury here.
• 13:19
  And this is the most successful screening offense we've had in what, 15 years?
• 13:24
  And we're four games in.
• 13:25
  Yeah,
• 13:25
  Brandan: since Holmgren probably.
• 13:27
  Adam: Yeah.
• 13:28
  Brandan: Yeah.
• 13:29
  And, some of that, I, I mentioned Emanuel Wilson having
• 13:32
  those, an average of 13 yards per reception, so nice to see that.
• 13:37
  Plus, the, he had the 23-yard touchdown.
• 13:41
  Adam: Yeah, he did, and, that was really cool to see.
• 13:43
  They had that nice kinda slip screen to Barner, late in the,
• 13:48
  late in the game there where…
• 13:49
  And we've seen this come out of the Shanahan stuff, you know, you kinda
• 13:53
  look right, flip it back left, and then kick it back to the middle.
• 13:55
  That, that was a nice little tricky play there.
• 13:58
  yeah, Fleury's in his bag when it comes to the screen game, for sure.
• 14:02
  Brandan: Marlon in chat saying the flag on Hall was garbage.
• 14:05
  There's so many flags to choose from.
• 14:07
  Okay.
• 14:07
  I don't even know if I just would agree with that being a garbage…
• 14:11
  Adam: No, that- That's the exact right call.
• 14:13
  You can't come down- 'Cause- … with your full body weight on the quarterback.
• 14:15
  You can't do it.
• 14:16
  They're gonna throw the flag every time.
• 14:18
  Brandan: Right.
• 14:18
  Yeah, and we saw that.
• 14:20
  People were showing that with Mahomes last week.
• 14:22
  He got the flag for the body weight going down on him, and I feel like
• 14:26
  maybe we've gotten away from the body weight flag a little bit.
• 14:29
  But as many flags as there were, there weren't a lot to where I went, "Okay."
• 14:34
  Adam: They were the right call, right?
• 14:35
  Brandan: They were the right call, it just, it was so many that it felt
• 14:39
  like, do we need to call this many?
• 14:42
  Adam: Yeah.
• 14:43
  I mean, Eman gets the, the face mask, for sure.
• 14:46
  Spoon, absolut- now, the Spoon one, you might be able to debate, only
• 14:50
  because he does start the contact inbounds, but, like, you're two, two
• 14:55
  steps out of bounds by the time you decide to do the flip him over and,
• 14:58
  and throw him to the ground thing.
• 14:59
  Like-
• 14:59
  Brandan: Mm-hmm
• 14:59
  … Adam: you gotta have a little better awareness than that.
• 15:01
  and then the Hall thing we just talked about as well.
• 15:04
  trying to think of some of the other freaking personal fouls of this game.
• 15:09
  Brandan: Any of the 30.
• 15:10
  Yeah, right.
• 15:10
  Yeah.
• 15:11
  The personal fouls, but yeah, I- Yeah, going low, the, the one
• 15:16
  that, like that one, where DeMarcus Lawrence, I think, was
• 15:20
  called for going low on Herbert.
• 15:22
  Adam: Yeah.
• 15:22
  Brandan: And I mean, that was a- We never got a
• 15:24
  Adam: good look to see if, you know- He got
• 15:26
  Brandan: pushed, right?
• 15:27
  Adam: If he got pushed down as he's going towards the quarterback 'cause
• 15:29
  that would change that call, but we never got to really see it on the TV
• 15:32
  copy, so that'll be interesting to see.
• 15:35
  But if we want to talk about some positives that come out of this game,
• 15:40
  I think one of the things that really stood out to me is I really felt Spoon
• 15:44
  and Emmanwori, on the perimeter and i- in run support, and then Eamon
• 15:50
  Waire with, some really quality pass rushes throughout this, game as well.
• 15:55
  I thought this was the best game from those two stars so far.
• 15:59
  Brandan: Yeah.
• 15:59
  It was fun seeing Emmanwori get down in, like, a four-point
• 16:02
  stance and, come off the edge.
• 16:05
  And you could see the quickness, too, because as he bit in on, on one of
• 16:10
  the plays where he was lined up at end, you know, he bit in, but
• 16:14
  then Herbert, rushed out of the pocket a little bit, and he did a
• 16:18
  quick spin move and went after him.
• 16:20
  It ended up not being…
• 16:21
  I don't think it was a quarterback hit or anything, but I, I- probably
• 16:24
  registered as a quarterback hurry.
• 16:26
  But, yeah, cool to see Eamon Waire down there and, you know,
• 16:29
  just not getting dump trucked by an offensive lineman, right?
• 16:32
  Because it kind of- Yeah … gives you a little bit of Cam Chancellor flashbacks
• 16:35
  and seeing how he would be able to handle, dudes at the tackle spot.
• 16:39
  Adam: It's pretty cool to see him unleashed in that way,
• 16:41
  and I think he's gonna continue to be very effective with that.
• 16:44
  I see a couple of people, go back to the personal fouls.
• 16:47
  The one on Brady Russell was stupid.
• 16:49
  That one was just, like, are you kidding me?
• 16:51
  My God.
• 16:52
  Like, he is, like, barely touches the dude after the play and- Yeah,
• 16:55
  Brandan: that one, that one was probably the most iffy if we're,
• 16:58
  if we're grading them on a scale.
• 17:00
  Yokai Hawk, never iffy.
• 17:02
  Going in with 1,000 yen.
• 17:04
  Sheed for RB1.
• 17:05
  Yeah.
• 17:05
  16.5
• 17:07
  yards per carry.
• 17:08
  I, I think you want to use him sparingly with going to the outside, but he is the
• 17:12
  most effective speed guy on the team now with, both Wilson and, Holani.
• 17:19
  Really not able to get to the edge, and I, I suspect that that's why
• 17:22
  they want to take a look at Mixon.
• 17:24
  But, you know, there's-
• 17:26
  Adam: Yeah, that's a…
• 17:26
  You've reminded me of some of his past stuff.
• 17:28
  That's a hard pass for me.
• 17:29
  I'm good.
• 17:31
  Brandan: yeah, well shoot, we got, Ja- Jacardie Wright, who I feel-
• 17:36
  Yeah … like is kind of a fast guy.
• 17:37
  He might be able to, to do some of those outside runs.
• 17:40
  But, yeah, we'll see about that throughout the week.
• 17:43
  Appreciate everybody joining us in chat.
• 17:46
  Yokai Hawk saying, "Zero mentions of Big Cat until he went out in Q4,
• 17:51
  and Charger O-line down by 40, 60%.
• 17:54
  What happened?"
• 17:55
  I mean, Big Cat, I, I'd have to go back and, and watch to see what…
• 18:00
  I, I felt like he had a couple plays where he was in the backfield, so-
• 18:05
  Adam: Oh, yeah
• 18:05
  … Brandan: just not having his name called necessarily.
• 18:07
  Ernest Jones definitely- Yeah … showed out in terms of
• 18:10
  guys on the defense, 'cause he led the day on tackles for the defense.
• 18:15
  He had the interception, along with the…
• 18:17
  Drake Thomas had the other interception.
• 18:18
  I d- I didn't get to see the other, the Drake Thomas interception
• 18:21
  because, I went to the restroom.
• 18:24
  And then what ended up happening, Adam- Yeah … is that when
• 18:27
  I was in the bathroom, Drake Thomas got the interception.
• 18:30
  Then before the final drive of the day, my mom and my wife said, "Don't
• 18:34
  you, don't you have to use the bathroom here, like with one minute left to go?"
• 18:37
  And I was like, "No, I can…
• 18:38
  I'm fine.
• 18:39
  I can make it."
• 18:39
  And they're like, "No, really.
• 18:40
  I think we could use-" "… a turnover here."
• 18:43
  Yeah.
• 18:43
  And sure enough, I went in, and then Nuosu gets the fumble,
• 18:46
  so you're welcome, everybody.
• 18:48
  Adam: There you go.
• 18:48
  so team success is tethered to Brandan's pain going forward,
• 18:52
  so that's good to know there.
• 18:54
  Brandan: - I just gotta make sure I drink lots of water next
• 18:56
  Adam: game.
• 18:56
  That's right.
• 18:56
  Be hydrated, my friend.
• 18:58
  yeah, Clinton here saying Murphy had a pretty big game, and he did.
• 19:01
  That, that rush that he had, from the standup position, from
• 19:05
  the inside, I mean, he kinda looked like a standup edge defender there.
• 19:08
  He just smoked Penning on that, and-
• 19:11
  Brandan: Mm-hmm
• 19:11
  … Adam: that clean tackle, d- that was perfect.
• 19:13
  That's, that's teach tape right there.
• 19:16
  Brandan: Yep, good day for him, or at least he, he did show up
• 19:19
  on the, on the defense.
• 19:22
  other guys on the day, yeah, Nick Emmanwori, nine total tackles.
• 19:26
  Spoon, nine tackles.
• 19:28
  Emmanwori credited with…
• 19:31
  Oh, he had that sack where, he got Herbert way back- Yeah … and, ended
• 19:36
  up at midfield, so a nice sack by Emmanwori.
• 19:40
  And yeah, tackles for a loss, there were nine total.
• 19:44
  Emmanwori had two.
• 19:45
  DeMarcus Lawrence had two.
• 19:47
  quarterback hits on the day, Nwosu finished with the most at
• 19:51
  three, and Nick Emmanwori with two.
• 19:54
  Adam: Yeah, Nwosu had himself a big ga- day today as well.
• 19:57
  He looked great.
• 19:58
  I mean, Tank Lawrence looked good at times as well.
• 20:01
  I thought the, the front played really nicely for the Seahawks this game.
• 20:06
  They really did shut down the run game.
• 20:08
  it allowed Omarion Hampton to get one more yard than I
• 20:11
  needed him to get, so- Oh,
• 20:12
  Brandan: no
• 20:13
  … Adam: super annoying.
• 20:14
  yeah, I-
• 20:15
  Brandan: 45 yards on the day for Hampton.
• 20:17
  Adam: -huh.
• 20:18
  Brandan: on the ground, 39 for Keaton Mitchell.
• 20:21
  Yeah, they finished the day… Well, Herbert had that one big run too of
• 20:25
  26 yards and, Vidal 25 yards.
• 20:29
  So yeah, 147 rushing yards, so they- Yeah, a couple plays … still
• 20:33
  continue their streak of not allowing a 100-yard running back rushing,
• 20:37
  but, they split it up with three different guys getting nearly 40 yards.
• 20:43
  Adam: Yeah, it…
• 20:43
  Look, I'm not gonna fret too much about somebody like Herbert picking
• 20:46
  up a bunch of stuff in scramble mode.
• 20:48
  not that big of a deal.
• 20:50
  not something that's sustainable.
• 20:52
  It's not something that you're gonna look at going down the stretch and be like,
• 20:55
  "That's the Achilles' heel of this team.
• 20:57
  Just can't stop a running quarterback," you know?
• 20:59
  Brandan: It was funny, at one point in the game, Trey Harris had a better
• 21:03
  quarterback rating than Justin Herbert.
• 21:05
  It was right around the time Trey Harris had that incomplete pass that was
• 21:09
  thrown to Herbert, and he finishes the day with a quarterback rating of 39.6.
• 21:14
  I think Herbert was under 30 at the time, but then Herbert, by the end of the
• 21:19
  game he had a couple of those long passes.
• 21:21
  I think the touchdown may have came after that, and so finishes the day
• 21:25
  with a quarterback rating of 62.4.
• 21:29
  I don't know how much I believe in the quarterback rating system.
• 21:32
  When Sam had a quarterback rating of 94.5,
• 21:36
  it, it didn't feel like a 90, performance but-
• 21:41
  Adam: I don't
• 21:41
  Brandan: know … with the interception.
• 21:42
  Yeah.
• 21:43
  Yeah.
• 21:43
  Just not a lot of completions, not a lot of yards.
• 21:46
  Adam: Not a lot of attempts really either But he did
• 21:48
  Brandan: have the two touchdowns.
• 21:49
  Adam: He had the two touchdowns.
• 21:49
  I don't know, that felt about like a 94 to me.
• 21:51
  Brandan: Okay.
• 21:52
  Adam: Yeah.
• 21:53
  It all kinda buffed out there I think in the end.
• 21:56
  Yeah.
• 21:56
  Anything else that kinda stood out for me for this game?
• 21:58
  Because, look man, like, we were getting ready to pop onto this and I,
• 22:01
  I don't think any, e- either of us were like fired up to talk about this one.
• 22:05
  Brandan: It was a rough game to watch, and the scoring was nice.
• 22:11
  Like, I can't really complain about putting up 30 points-
• 22:14
  Right … and I can't really complain about getting four turnovers.
• 22:19
  especially one of the, the turnovers was on special teams,
• 22:22
  right, that helped get in position.
• 22:25
  that was one of our better plays of the game, was just Michael
• 22:27
  Dickson punting it and, their returner fumbling it on special teams.
• 22:32
  So yeah, it's-
• 22:34
  Adam: Kinda nice for Jay to get one over on Jim there.
• 22:37
  Brandan: Right.
• 22:37
  Yeah.
• 22:37
  Yeah.
• 22:38
  We got our one Jay Harbaugh special teams play.
• 22:41
  Adam: Yeah.
• 22:41
  Brandan: So he can, he can stay on for another week.
• 22:44
  Adam: And it was fun to see Mike Mack beat the pants off of Mike Mick.
• 22:49
  That was awesome.
• 22:49
  Brandan: Right.
• 22:50
  Adam: Yeah.
• 22:50
  Brandan: Yeah.
• 22:51
  And yeah, Jay beats his dad, Jay, yeah, Jim Harbaugh.
• 22:56
  I got that wrong in the, the preview show.
• 22:59
  I kept saying John- Oh, where you going John?
• 23:00
  instead of Jim.
• 23:01
  Adam: Ah, okay.
• 23:01
  Well, whatever.
• 23:02
  You don't have to keep your Harbaughs straight.
• 23:04
  Brandan: No.
• 23:04
  Too many Harbaughs.
• 23:05
  Jim Harbaugh takes the L, our Seahawks take the dub.
• 23:08
  I, I don't know if there's anything else, Adam, with this one because the,
• 23:13
  the amount of time we actually got to watch football in between all of the
• 23:16
  flags, I, I think, it, it made it a little bit more difficult to watch.
• 23:22
  Adam: Tweet, personal foul on you for not being fired up for a win.
• 23:27
  Brandan: And I think with that-
• 23:28
  Adam: There's only one thing left to say
• 23:30
  … Brandan: go Hawks.
• 23:31
  Adam: Go Hawks
