  Speaker 1: You're listening to Hawk Talk with former Seahawks wide receiver
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: Michael Bumpus, powered by Seahawks dot Com.
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: Now here's your host, NASA Chobie.
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: Welcome into another edition of Hawk Talk. The Seahawks get
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: it done in dominating fashion twenty six nothing beating the
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: Minnesota Vikings at Loominfield. Bump, it was all about the
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: Seahawks defense on Sunday, a style nobody wants to play through,
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: not around, decisive, relentless, shocking. Mike McDonald preaches that every
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: single week. I like to repeat those because we keep
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: seeing each and every week, Bump, And I don't care
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: who you are. When you shut a team out in
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: the National Football League, you're doing something.
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: You shut a team out WIAA high school football, you
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: have having a day, let alone the NFL. First time,
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: this is what two thousand and seven that the vik
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: has been shut out. First shutout for this defense is
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: twenty fifteen. Good day for the defense.
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah and yes it was the most pretty game. Offensively,
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: who cares? This team is nine to three, time for
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: the best record in the NFC. And again defensively, five takeaways,
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: four sacks, first time since Baltimore and twenty seventeen when
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: a team had a five takeaways, four sacks in a
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: shutout in the same game. This defense was bad, and
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: let's jump right into it.
• 1:06
  Speaker 4: What did happened? See what had happened was what had
• 1:11
  Speaker 4: happened at first was what had happened was on Hawk Talk.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: Well, we talked about this a little bit in the
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: postgame show. The Seahawks have found different ways to win
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: football games, and I think you brought this up where
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: this is the first time all year, I think where
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: they have solely really relied on the defense to get
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: this team completely jump started.
• 1:27
  Speaker 4: They took control.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: They've won in blowouts, they've won with special teams like
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: in New Orleans, make it a ton of plays. This
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: was on the defense and they came after it. They
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: were absolutely amazing. The game started off with five straight punts.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: Both defenses were cooking. Minnesota also came to play defensively
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: as well, getting that a little bit lots of pressure
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: causing all kinds of problems. The Seahawks got on the
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: board first with a fifteen play fifty three yard drive
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: which ended with a thirty three yard field goal from
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: Jason Myers that made the score three to nothing. That
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: was kind of head up set up by Cody Whiteman.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: The big time put a one yard reception.
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: Cody white big els Cody white Man twenty one yard reception.
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: On the next drive, the Hawks would force a punt
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: out to four plays, but then disaster would strike. On
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: first and ten from the Seahawks twenty two yard like
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: Sam Darner was hit from the blind side from Dallas Turner.
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: He fumbled the rocket was covered by the Vikers in
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: a thirteen yard line, but the Seahawks defense would come
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: up big four plays later when DeMarcus Lawrence with pressure
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: the young man Max Welcome to the NFL, Max, Yeah,
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: forcing him to make a horrible decision on fourth down,
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: like what what are you doing?
• 2:21
  Speaker 5: Just take the sack, throw it away, tosses.
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: It up one hand, and our guy, Ernest Jones to
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: the house eighty five yards, his first touchdown in the NFL,
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: in his first pick of the day.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: At Ernest were talking about him. He had an absolute day.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: We're gonna break the play. Just talked about down a
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: little bit in the plays of the game. After that,
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: the Seahawks would force another punt on the next drive.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: Seahawks will take advantage of a goodield position, they would
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: kick another field goal. Big theme with that in this game.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: With eight seconds left, Seahawks going to the locker room
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: up thirteen to nothing. You feel good at that point. Yeah,
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: Minnesota is proven. They cannot do anything offensively. They cannot
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: move the football. Seahawks offense wasn't flashing on all cylinders,
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: you know, but they were still moving the football. Third
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: quarter was dominant by the Seahawks, even though it wasn't
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: necessarily in the score. They only kicked two field goals
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: in that quarter. About the Hawks at an eight play
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: forty four yard drive with a fifty four yard field
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: goal by Jason Myers that made it sixteen zero. Then
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: the Vikings next drive, Seahawks will get a huge play
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: from Marcus Owns again forcing a funball on Aaron Jones,
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: which were recovered by Tyo Katta tay Ookata.
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: It was nice see him out there. We were skeptical
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: if he was going to play now with that old league,
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: but he did a say. The Seahawks will get three
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: points off that turnover. Going nine plays forty se yards
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: in with a forty yard figure goal for Myers that
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: will make the score at nineteen zero. Then Kobe Bryan
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: Ernest Jones will get interceptions on the next two Viking possessions.
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: Love to see Kobe Bryant making plays as usual, and
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: then Ernest Jones once again second ty for second in
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: the league when it comes inter sessions at linebacker's that's wild.
• 3:43
  Speaker 4: Love what he's doing there.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: Seahawks take advantage six plays, thirty two yards, seventeen yard touchdowns,
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: Zach Sharbonney making twenty six and nothing.
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: That was the end.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: That will do it for the Seahawks. And I love
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: that you mentioned. You know, Kobe Bryant making plays. Drake
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: Thomas had another play. He set ten TFLs on the season.
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: Everyone on the defense is balling out. They're all part
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: of it. Seahawks win the turnover battle five to two.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: They outgained the Vikings two nineteen to one sixty two.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: So not a high yardage day offensively, one time in
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: possession and they were on fire. Four interceptions, four sacks,
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: seven QB hits. It was a belts to you know what.
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: On Sunday, Max Brosmer, he had one hundred twenty six
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: stars passing one hundred and twenty one yards, four interceptions.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: Now if the Seahawks defense were quarterback and they had
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: four completions for one hundred and twenty one yards and
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: a touchdown on thirty attempts, they would have had a
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: better passer rating fifty five than Brossler's actual passer rating
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: of thirty two.
• 4:33
  Speaker 5: Poor guy. I mean, he's a rookie. He's a rookie.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: We said it coming in in the preview podcast. If
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: you are someone in your rookie coming into Lumenfield in
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: your first start against that defense, that defensive line, it's
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: been a huge topic of conversation. This might be the
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: best defensive line in the Seahawks history and a team
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: that's had a ton of great defensive lines, that's your
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: first start.
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: Man, God bless you.
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: I mean after his interception, the coaches weren't even mad
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: after the first one, awa on patam On back to like,
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: we know what we're in we're getting into and Kevin
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: O'Connell has to know the quarterback whisper has to know
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: that Max is he wasn't ready for that defense.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: No, and it was. It was a tough day out.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: I mean, wow, that's one of those you turn on
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: the film. We're gonna go ahead and not watch this
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: one deleted on to the next ye on to the
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: next Bump. It was a beat down, obviously, But what
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: you learn from this game from a Seahawks perspective, I.
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: Think we touched on it already that they can win
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: in different ways. We've seen the offense be explosive. We've
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: seen the offense and the defense get it done. We've
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: seen special teams be on point. Yesterday was a testament
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: to that two four four when it comes to to Myers.
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: But you just gotta win, just win ball games. They
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: did it in a different way. This defense. I was
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: looking up the stats obviously, and it's weird to not
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: see this defense top five when it comes to total
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: yards giving up right, because they feel like a top
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: three type of defense.
• 5:45
  Speaker 5: But they've shown that this defense is ready to go.
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: I think the defensive numbers will help after Sunday again
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: and try to get back in the top five. But
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: what I learned, Bump is that when you look at
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: this team, I like the adjustments. While the offense didn't
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: play their best game of the season, we know that
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: they've had games they scored on every single possession. I
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: liked how they came out of halftime because in the
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: second half they were able to run the football.
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: They got a couple of field goal drives.
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: Sharpennay with that touchdown drive, so wild Minnesota was causing
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: all kinds of havoc. Blitz Sam Darnold the most he's
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: ever been blitzed in his career. I believe it was
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: sixty three percent according to Next ten Stats. To come
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: out there and still take care of business second half,
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: I love it. And it's like in baseball, right if
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: you don't have your fastball, you're still in your starting pitcher,
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: you're the ace. You still got to find a way
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: to go five innings, give your team a chance to
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: win that ball game.
• 6:26
  Speaker 4: That's what the Seahawks offense did and it was cool
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: to see.
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: But let's get into playmakers because that was happening all
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: over the field.
• 6:34
  Speaker 5: Touchop playmakers to them?
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: What time it is?
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: Hoa Ernest Jones bump? Are you kidding me?
• 6:45
  Speaker 5: Come on now.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: Ernest led the Seahawks with twelve tackles, two interceptions, two
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: passes defended, eighty five yard pick six, third longest in
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: the NFL this season, first career touchdown, team leading five interceptions,
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: second in the national Football League. We've talked about how
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: much or a leader he is, but when your leader
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: is also one of your best players, man, it is
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: it's hard not to follow that man and run through
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: a wall for him.
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: Man, Ernest step into the podium last week, had Sam
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: Donald's back, and then back up his play this weekend,
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: and it was It's cool to see thirteen out there
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: doing his thing. He has an old soul. He got
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: an old name, Ernest. You know, he got an old soul.
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: But he's young, and he's young. He what twenty six,
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: les just turned six? Twenty five up? Yeah, man, Ernest
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: is the clear cut leader. And this defense has several
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: leaders every level. I think they have a leader Jay
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: Leve in the back end, Earn a second level, then
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: Leo on that defensive line.
• 7:32
  Speaker 5: But he's running the show man. It's fun to watch
• 7:34
  Speaker 5: him play.
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: And uh probably one of the more underappreciated signings this
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: offseason in the NFL's DeMarcus Lawrens.
• 7:42
  Speaker 5: Two sacks, one U, one TfL two quarterback kids.
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: It calls that eighty five yard picks is for Ernest
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: dragging Max down to the ground, pulling him by his arm.
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: I watched him play and he doesn't move like a
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: twelve year veteran. He's moving like this is his third
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: or fourth year in the league.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: I wasn't exactly sure. I knew he could still play
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: when the Seahawks acquired him, and I remember medium in
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: the first ay who's here at the vMac. But he
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: is absolutely blown expectations out of the water. Because I
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: remember it was back when we lost to the Seahawks,
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: lost to the Buccaneers earlier this year. We really that
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: was the first time We're like, oh wow, we felt
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: his absence out there. He brings it each and every
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: week and he's such an important piece from his play
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: on the field to his leadership. He's a dog. The
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: way the guys respect him on the field level. We're
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: seeing from DeMarcus Lawrence as he continues to show. But yeah,
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: I might be an older guy out there about I
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: don't play like it, Yeah for sure. Byron Murphy, he
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: we talked about sophomore jumps. He has been absolutely consistent
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: each and every week. Three tackles, one SAD, one QB
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: hit and we were talking. I think you brought this
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: up on your show today. We interviewed Quinn Mohanna on
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: the huddle, he talked about he was the best in
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: the middle. Yeah, straight up, straight up, and he's been
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: playing like that all year.
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: And the way he's moving like he's adding stuff to
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: his game. I know I shouldn't be surprised because it's
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: his second year, you should be getting better. But I
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: mean this, I want to talk to his trainer, like,
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: who have you been working with? Because last year it
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: was just the bull rush, right, gonna take on this
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: double team to be good. He's setting guys up with
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: his movement, his shoulders, his hands. Byron Murphy less good.
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: He is the best a gap defender and you team
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: him up with Leo, that has to be the best
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: combo when you talk about in tier defensive linean in
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: THET Murphy got that dad strength. I think that's what
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: it was. Right, I had a baby girl. Now he's
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: good to go. Drake Thomas maybe the biggest surprise on
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: the defense this year. Five tackles, half sack, one CFL,
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: two quarterback hits, ten TFLs on the season. Drake Thomas
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: plays like he's an underdog because that's exactly what he is.
• 9:31
  Speaker 5: He's out there just thriving.
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: Though he also doesn't play like his size. He's talked
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: about it throughout the season. No one said he could
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: play inside linebacker the NFL. He's proven them wrong each
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: and every week. And there's at least one or two
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: plays where you're like, oh my goodness, a flash boom. Yeah,
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: when Drake just like Spoon, you wouldn't think I'd be
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: comparing those two, right, but when they pull the trigger
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: and go, it's right now. He's made unbelievable collisions, big
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: hits in the backfield. I mean, to be an off
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: ball defender and have that many tackle for losses, he's
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: obviously doing something good.
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: I feel like if Mike McDonald worre football player, he'd
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: beat Drake Thomas.
• 10:01
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I can see that.
• 10:02
  Speaker 5: Uh huh.
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: And just not taking nothing from nobody, but letting everybody. Yeah, No,
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: I love that you mentioned Leonard Williams.
• 10:09
  Speaker 4: We could.
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: I mean, we're a broken record at this point with
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: the consistency from this side of the football. Two tackles,
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: one sack, one TfL, one QB hit, and I get it.
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: There should be momentum why this could be the best
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: defensive line in Seahawk's history, let alone football today, because
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: it's the depth what was really good in twenty thirteen.
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: They called the NASCAR packages because you had Cliff April,
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: Michael Bennett coming off the bench, you had you know,
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: Clemmens and Red Brian, all those guys. Is because of
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: the depth, but made that group so special. Every single
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: person on this defensive line is killing it. Whether it's
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: Brandon Peely, you name it. And they might add Riley
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: Mills to this group. Goodness gracious. Oh and I forgot
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: Sharon Reed is not playing?
• 10:43
  Speaker 5: Are you kidding me?
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 10:45
  Speaker 4: It scary.
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: Ken Walker thirteen cares for fifty six, three receptions for
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: eighteen yards. Just steady. I think I've come to terms
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: of what this running game is going to be. Right,
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: It's gonna be a combination. You're gonna get some Zach
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: Sharbonne who had fourteen for fifty two in a touchdown.
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: You gotta get some kN Walker. Ken Walker's being more
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: involved in the pass game. Now he has a quiet
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: seven hundred yards this year too. Like ken Walker's having
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: us off a decent season.
• 11:07
  Speaker 4: Yeah, without question.
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: And his running back mate Zach s Charbonnay fourteen carries
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: fifty two yards one touchdown.
• 11:13
  Speaker 4: We know how good he is in the red zone.
• 11:14
  Speaker 4: They've shown that.
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: And you know, just because the running game is not
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: putting up amazing numbers does not mean they're not effective.
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: Ray brought this example up on the huddle a couple
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: of weeks ago. I forgot what it was talking about.
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: How the year the Colts won the Super Bowl, they
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: could not really run the ball all season, and they
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: have their best running games in the playoffs each and
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: every week. So I think at some point we will
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: see that performance just enough to keep teams honest. But
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: even if we don't, I think it's fine because they're
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: doing their job. They're part of this offense and things
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: are rolling in it.
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: Then we just last year we were just asking the
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: run game to be middle of the pack, and that's
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: what they are, and them being middle of the pack
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: allows everything else to open up. This is the first
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: week we did playmakers, no JSN on this thing. Still
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: got it done though.
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's I mean, it almost feels like a type,
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: almost feel like you're doing wrong. He also set some
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: Seahawk records on Sunday. But yeah, Jaysn, I don't want
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: to call him human because you could talk about it.
• 12:03
  Speaker 4: You're a receiver. Sometimes you can do everything right and
• 12:05
  Speaker 4: not get the football.
• 12:06
  Speaker 5: Just be like that, Just be like that one is day.
• 12:08
  Speaker 5: But you know what, ninety three, that's what I mattered.
• 12:10
  Speaker 4: We'll take that receiver route up.
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: What you see, all right, we got an agent, not
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: a lot. You got aj Barner four for thirty five.
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: He got Cooper Cup three for twenty four. He had
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: a nice little run after the catch to start.
• 12:20
  Speaker 4: Yeah, juke somebody on.
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: Jason had two for twenty three, Cody White one big
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: one on third down, one for twenty one, Ken Walker
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: three for eighteen, Rashid and we still haven't seen Rashid
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: really get unlocked yet, neither him they had one for
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: seven or Royo didn't have a catch on two targets.
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: So there's still things to be seen with this team.
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: And I think that is what keeps me just optimistic.
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: I mean, obviously ninety three you gotta be optimistic, but
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: there's still some things they need to do.
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and not being one dimensional the way you win
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: football games, like we mentioned, whether it's offense, even special
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: teams doing it. Love what we're seeing diverse there, but
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: I'm excited for this to get to the plays of
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: the game.
• 12:55
  Speaker 4: Ernest Jones.
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: We talked about how instrumental he's been in to the
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: Seahawks since he walked in this lock room. Last season,
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: he had an eighty five yard pick six of Max Brosnan.
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: Jones stays in the backfield.
• 13:07
  Speaker 6: Fourth down and one at the Seattle four handoff, playfake
• 13:12
  Speaker 6: Brosno being chased.
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: Brother, it's gonna go down to the drows.
• 13:15
  Speaker 7: Get there, fifteen, coming back to your sad far side,
• 13:19
  Speaker 7: fifty down the forty being chased.
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: Twenty ten. HiT's Jones, who.
• 13:25
  Speaker 6: Is in a sentiment, gets full path of the here
• 13:28
  Speaker 6: and this one goes to the house.
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: From back near the ten yard line. Ernest Jones. It's
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: channel with the pressure.
• 13:42
  Speaker 7: Jones with a.
• 13:43
  Speaker 6: Pick six, and just like that, the rookie QBS gets war.
• 13:49
  Speaker 6: He is chased by Lawrence who makes what would have
• 13:54
  Speaker 6: been a great sack, but instead Brosber just tries.
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: To fling it. And there is Joe right there.
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: All right, So the design of this play isn't great
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: for the vikings, right, And I think you're dealing with
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: a rookie, a rookie quarterback. So he doesn't sell the
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: playfake the way you should. I think he's trying to
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: sell it to the full back. Therefore, that will entice
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: DeMarcus Lowres to bite down. It looks like he's he's
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: actually faking it to the to the running back. So
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: because his angle is improper, it doesn't entice DeMarcus Lawrence
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: to do anything but get up. Feel so welcome to
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: the NFL, rookie, you better do exactly what you're supposed
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: to do.
• 14:32
  Speaker 5: This is just DeMarcus Lawrence. They're trying to sell that
• 14:34
  Speaker 5: zone left.
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: You typically leave the n un block there to get
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: him to bite down so you can boot off of that.
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: That's what they do. The playfake. This isn't great. I
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: think the angles all jacked them. And DeMarcus Lawrence just
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: gets after that quarterback and is relentless. I mean he
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: would have. He almost pulled his arm out out of
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: the socket, you know what. I man like, he was
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: all over that man. And then this is just guys
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: flowing to space. You get to the right place at
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: the right time. Or de Jones picked that thing off
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: and let me pick ups. Ernest Jones that form his
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: own point. My man got the knees up, got the
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: nice arm pump looking good. Yeah no you you you
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: said it right off top.
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: The thing that got me was I said the exact
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: same thing I've written down here at the playfake. It's
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: a wordless play, fake because you do nothing to influence
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: the Marcus Lawrence, I think something got messed up. You're
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: right as well, because the full the other back is
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: nowhere near they're on the same level. There's no way
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: he can get the football there. The back isn't helping.
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: You're not influencing anyone in the secondary. So that's the starter.
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: And then Ernest Jones, we call it just finding work. Yep,
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: you find the work, you finish it. He talked about
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: how tired he was. Anyone who's ever been that situation knows,
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: so towards the end is when you get tired.
• 15:32
  Speaker 5: Oh yeah.
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: And then while we're giving casual shoutouts, if anyone wants
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: to know how fast requilling is, watch this play.
• 15:39
  Speaker 4: He looks like he's out for a.
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: Stroll and he he's like twenty yards not even in
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: the picture, and all of a sudden, who's escorting Ernest
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: Jones in the end zone recoling.
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: It's ridiculous. His stride, he gets about two strides every
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: five yards. It's ridiculous. Is a beast man.
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: And again though what I love I love seeing guys
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: run to celebrate, but it's also this defense is trained
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: get to the football, heeriot, Yeah, point blank gets to
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: the football when you runner the football.
• 16:03
  Speaker 4: Good thing happened.
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: Nice job Ernest Jones, DeMarcus Lawrence causing that pick six.
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: The next player looking at zach Scharbonay gets in the
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: end zone on a seventeen yard touchdown.
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: Hand off to Charbona on the left side. Two tight
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: end for lineup every breaks a tackle.
• 16:16
  Speaker 7: Ten touchdown Seahawks and so the Seahawks a seventeen yard touchdown,
• 16:27
  Speaker 7: make it.
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: Twenty five zip.
• 16:30
  Speaker 6: And the Seattle offense, I think here in this second half,
• 16:34
  Speaker 6: has finally gotten the best of a good Minnesota defense,
• 16:39
  Speaker 6: just battering them the eighth rushing touchdown of the season.
• 16:43
  Speaker 6: Both those tight ends got great blocks on the left side.
• 16:46
  Speaker 6: In Charbonay takes it in.
• 16:49
  Speaker 3: When you talk about outside zone, this is what Kobeak imagines.
• 16:52
  Speaker 5: I'm going to start from the right.
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: Sim you got Abe Lucas, And who's that sixty four?
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: Is that? That's Christiannane's Haines. Okay, Hans, I'll see your baby,
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: all right. You got a Blocus and Hanes, you got
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: the double team. You got Oulu climbing to that second level,
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: great angle on the backer. You get Zable doing just enough.
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: Sometimes you just got to do just enough with the
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: guy in front of you. He does, Zach, you got
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: cross climbing to that second level. But where this thing
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: pops the tight ends, you got aj Barner on the edge.
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: You got Cala rep who helps him out. And then
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: it gets to that dB Zach Sherburney follows, and let's
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: not sleep on Cooper Cup getting to his guy as well.
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: If you want these big runs, bodies on bodies and
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: let your running back do his thing.
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: There's almost never a big run by running back where
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: either tight end or receivers and blocking downfield.
• 17:36
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and you.
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: Love what you saw from Cali up and uh Barner
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: on the play side, and just Es Gordon bier Murphy
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: in Adianzo.
• 17:43
  Speaker 4: Yep, you're not gonna be a part of this play,
• 17:44
  Speaker 4: thank you very much. Get out of there.
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: Coopering up comes across and then I just love Also,
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: just a side note, the presence of JSN Harrison Smith.
• 17:51
  Speaker 4: I believe he stays on that side.
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: He barely even moves he doesn't go anywhere, and then
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: it's run away from me, okay, because it's like I'm
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: not gonna get bet by eleven on my side, but
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: just a great play. That's what the Seahawks want to do,
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: and it's finishing at the end of a game when
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: you need to. We want to run this clock out.
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: Leave no doubt love what we're seeing from this offense
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: and Clink coubeback. Even on a day where they didn't
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: have their fastball, they still were able to get it done,
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: finish it. Setting up our favorite formation, victory formation.
• 18:19
  Speaker 6: Here comes the Seahawks offense on to the field and
• 18:22
  Speaker 6: the Vikings defense trutching out there knowing that one kneel
• 18:27
  Speaker 6: down and the Seahawks are gonna line the clock down.
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: And win this one.
• 18:32
  Speaker 4: It's the victory formation on Hawk Talk.
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: We set it throughout the podcast today. The Seahawks can
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: win in a multitude of ways. Okay, they can win
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: an explosive offense, big plays on special teams, dominant defense. Sunday,
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: no question about it, it was about the defense. They were relentless.
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: First shutout Seahawks defense hats is twenty to fifteen. Also
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: against the Chicago Bears, and it was the first time
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: the Vikings missoutouts in two thousand and seven. You mentioned
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: it doesn't matter what level you play at, you're shutting
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: a team out in the Nation Football League.
• 18:57
  Speaker 4: Yeah, everyone on the Vikings gets paid. They get paid
• 19:00
  Speaker 4: this game.
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: That is their job to not allow him to score
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: one point, you know, field goal. Nothing shows you how
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: well this defensive played.
• 19:06
  Speaker 5: And playmakers on this defense.
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: Ernest Jones twelve tackles, twin exceptions eighty five yard pick
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: six at the house to get DeMarcus Lawrence. You got
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: big cat Byron Murphy, Drake Thomas, Chenn and Wolsu all
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: had at least a half sack. Kobe Bryan and Rigwooling
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: each had interceptions. I don't think Kobe Bryant gets the
• 19:23
  Speaker 3: love that he deserves on this team too, because and
• 19:26
  Speaker 3: it's almost a blessing because you got so many other
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: ballers on this defense that Kobe Bryant kind of gets
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: lost in the mix.
• 19:31
  Speaker 5: But nice to see him would have picked too.
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, No, love what Kobe's doing. He's almost like what
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: kJ Wright was to the Legion to Boom.
• 19:38
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: Absolutely, anyone looks at him, know, he's an absolute baller,
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: but he's not making the headlines because he's not one
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: of those other names. I love what we're seeing from Kobe.
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: Seahawks are standing there street to twenty one straight games
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: without allowing one hundred yard rusher. Offensively, Seahawks ran for
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty five yards in a touchdown from
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: sharber Day. But I said it before the game, Seahawks
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: didn't have their fastball on offense, but they found a
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: way to continue to put points on the board and
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: get the job done.
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Hawks approved to nine and three on the season.
• 20:02
  Speaker 3: The best starts is twenty nineteen. The Hawks also proved
• 20:05
  Speaker 3: to four and two at home, three wins in a row,
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: already have more home wins than all of last year.
• 20:11
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I kind of want to shot that up for
• 20:12
  Speaker 4: a quick second.
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: I mean, obviously the Seahawks, you know, Mike McDonald on
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: this organization knows how important it is to win at home.
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: Things didn't work out the way they did last year.
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: You won on the road, couldn't win at home. Three
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: and you know three to five isn't good enough. This year,
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: the Seahawks had a couple games that they should have won. Yeah,
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: but four and two. Love it three in a row,
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: and they're starting to build momentum. So right now, any place, anywhere, home,
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: on the road, wherever it is, the Seahawks team's going
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: to get it done. Back on the road next week
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: taking on the Atlanta Falcons, the Seahawks team is rolling.
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: We'll get into it on the preview pod. Seahawks are
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: tied for the best record in the NFC.
• 20:43
  Speaker 5: Let's go.
• 20:45
  Speaker 4: I'm not We can look forward, but you know, cause
• 20:47
  Speaker 4: that's where my mind goes. I don't know, man, you
• 20:49
  Speaker 4: run the table.
• 20:50
  Speaker 5: Good things last, You control your own destiny. Good rams
• 20:53
  Speaker 5: went down, Baby, Let's go.
• 20:54
  Speaker 4: Things will happen. We'll see what happens.
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: Tacyhawks second on those Falcons on Sunday, Well, tell everything
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: you know about that matchup on third, say he's Michael
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: Bumba some nasachoby. Seahawks shut out the Vikings twenty six
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: to zero. This has been Hawk Talk.
