• 0:24
  Speaker 1: here at the Virginia Mason Athletics. Well, sure is, man,
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: I can't lie. It is such a different feeling coming
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: after win.
• 0:31
  Speaker 3: The air smells different, you know, the sun is shining brighter.
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: This this things just feel different after w.
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: The three hours we do postgame show feels that much better.
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: Obviously talking about good stuff and a win. So again,
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: super excited about what the Seahawks did. We're gonna break
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: it all down here and we're not gonna waste any
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: more time.
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: Let's get into it with what had happened.
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: See what happened was what had happened at first was
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: what had happened was on Hawk Talk.
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: Seahawks go across the country, get it done against the
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: Steelers thirty one seventeen for their seventh consecutive road win.
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: That set a franchise record. It also brings Coast McDonald's
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: record on the road to eight and one.
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: In one football coach, he got that FORMU to figured out? Man, Yeah,
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: I mean again. We talked about it on the preview Pop.
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: We've talked about this at nauseum. It used to be
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: an issue a long time ago when you were playing.
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: I was on that team.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: It is no longer hasn't been. Pete got it figured out.
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: Mike m'donald's came in and perfected it. Eight and one
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: is ridiculously good record as a coach on the road.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: It's hard to win in the NFL. But overall the
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: game wasn't always pretty. But for the second consecutive week,
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: I felt like the Seahawks very much outplayed their opponent,
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: and this time it showed up on the scoreboard. The
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: Seahawks got the party started on their opening drive, marching
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: right down the field, going eight place for sixty five yards,
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: ending with a twenty one yard touchdown pass to Tory Horton.
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: We'll break that play down a little bit later and bump.
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: That drive was extra special because it was the first
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: time the Seahawks had scored a touchdown on their opening
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: drive since Week fourteen and the twenty twenty three season
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: where Drew Locke found dk metcalf against the forty nine.
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: Man.
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: That's a long time, long time, but I'm glad we
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: got that over with. Let's just make this part of
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: who we are. You know, go down there, open the drive,
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: get some points, man, put some pressure on these guys.
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: Man.
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: The Stillers will get points on their next drive, going
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: ten plays forty six yards, but settle for a field
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: goal after the Seahawks got off the field on third down.
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: That made the score seven to three. Seahawks disaster would
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: strike on the very first possession. The next play of
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: the possession, Sam Darnal was picked off by Jaylen Ramsey
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: on a pass intended for Cooper Cup. Probably should have
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: floated it over the top, put it on the line.
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: He playing against a good dB like Jaylen Ramsey. He's
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: gonna undercut and make that play. Yeah, you mentioned it.
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: Wearing no gloves lose.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: Look, they're nasty out there, but man, Jayal can still
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: play still. The ball obviously made a huge play there.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: Seahawks defense comes up big, holding the Steelers to another
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: field goal, which made the score seven to six. Seahawks
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: offense would bounce back with a nice drive of their own,
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: with big games to Cooper Cup Elijah Royo. Unfortunately, drive
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: it's all out in the red zone and Jason Myers
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: has been mister reliable. Sure, Unfortunately he missed a thirty
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: six yard field goal and the Hawks would walk away
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: with no points on the drive.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I thought that was of a show. Chip, you know,
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: we're good.
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: I'm taking notes and then I'll hear the reactions of
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: Dave Whyman.
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: And Raves going crazy. So that was unfortunate. But you
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: know what, Sorry, I just did this skin my head.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: We had to blame Dave Wyman, Yes, because he drinked
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: it right before and the second he set out was like, Dave,
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: don't do a day.
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: So Jason, it's all good. That was on Dave Wyman. Yes,
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: on Dave, it's on Dave.
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: The next three drives will end in punts, but then
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: disaster will strike again on fourth down when the Seahawks
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: ran out a little play action and we're trying to
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: get to a j barner behind Hayward, but he tipped
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: the football and then you got a boy, Nick Herbig,
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: who uh snatched it out the air and put the
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: Seahawks in a tough situation. I don't blame we're going
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: back and forth today. I don't blame Kubiak for the
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: play call. You've been running football effectively. You feel like
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: they're going to crash down on you. The play action
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: is set up, sometimes players make plays, and that's what
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: happened with one of the best d linemen in the game,
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: mister Hayward.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you draw it up.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: Sometimes people are unblocked because you hope they bite on
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: play action. Yeah, that's part of the reason you do it. Unfortunately, Yeah,
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: disaster didn't go the way he wanted.
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: This time. The Steals would take advantage.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: Six plays later, when Aaron Rodgers found former Seahawk DK
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: Metcalf for a two yard touchdown that made the score
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: fourteen to seven.
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: He didn't celebrate at all. No, he made it a point.
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: I ain't celebrating. I'm just getting back to the sideline.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: Dude, been there, like you know, done that, I've been
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: there before, or whatever you want to say. And yeah,
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: and we'll talk about this a little bit later. But
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: Dk didn't do a whole lot. That was pretty much
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: all he did in the game, so great job by
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: the secondary. Hawks would punt on the next drive and
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: head into halftime trailing by seven.
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you felt like you could have easily been up
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: in this game, and that's a good feeling. You correct
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: some things and you should be all right in terms
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: of yards. The Seahawks dominated the first half, but were
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: unable to make the big play and felt similar to
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: San Francisco with missed opportunities.
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: The second half was a different story.
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: The Seahawks defense got a big stop on the first
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: possession and then Sam Donald mars the Seahawks down the
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: field nine plays eighty yards into what a seven yard
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: touchdown pass to a J Barner.
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: I see you aj. That drive had four exposive plays.
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: She had a nine yard run, a fifteen yard run,
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: seventeen yard pass, a sixteen yard pass that made the
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: score all square.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: Of fourteen's coach McDonald talked about exposive plays this past week.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: I believe it was, and a lot of different coaches
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: are different. Some say a run over ten or twelve,
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: a passover fifteen or sixteen. McDonald goes, you know when
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: you see it I like that, so if it's a
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: yard short or whatnot. That's why I included the nine
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: yard run in there, because I still thought that was
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: an exposed to play on the drive. Love what we
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: saw there from the Seahawks offense again. Then on the
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: ensuing drive, Aaron Rodgers hit Jalen Warren on a short pass.
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: He took that thing sixty five yards. Hell of a run,
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: made three or four guys, miss broke a bunch of tackles,
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: but he was chased down by Reek one and bump.
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: You talked about this a little bit.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: I think on your show today, Greek one hell of
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: a play chases it down, and anyone who's played football
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: or coach shit, pursuit drill and save your angle.
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: That is it. Pursuit drill.
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: Say you line up some random coach who's in his
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: twenties because he's young and athletic. You get him the
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: football on one sideline and you have your defense get
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: in some type of formatage. You could be a two
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: high look or whatnot the way we did. You blow
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: the whistle they're doing up down bow. You get up
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: and now you're taking the right angle to the ball carrier.
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: As that coaches runs down the field. The last guy
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: to make a play on that pursude trial is the
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: corner who is furthest away from the ball. That was
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: Reek Man took the proper angle and saved a touchdown,
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: So biggest ree. I think Reek needed a play like that, absolutely,
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: especially off the week he had last week. So two
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: plays later, Darien Kendrick would pick off Aaron Rodgers m
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: the end zone, keeping the score tied at fourteen. So
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: ifrig don't make that play, they score a touchdown, you
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: don't get the opportunity to get that interception, and maybe
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: you feel a bit different. After back to back punts,
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: the Seahawks would add a field goal to make the
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: score fourteen or seventeen to fourteen, and then suing kick off,
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: the Seahawks special teams unit would come up big again
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: recovery and live ball for a touchdown in the end
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: zone by George Hallani.
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: Caleb Johnson forgot.
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: The rules and I was a huge break for the
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: Seahawks that made the score twenty four to fourteen. Here's
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: what here are my thoughts. Okay, I think in his
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: mind he was treating it as a punt. I was
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: explaining this to people who listening to the show to
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: in a punt, you punt the ball, the ball hisstaground
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: is dead.
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: Some as you touch it, no change of possession. Now
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: this is kickoff.
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: And also maybe he thought that he was in college
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: to where when the ball goes into the end zone
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: it is dead.
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: This is the NFL.
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: There's a reason why there are on site kicks and
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: there are pooch kicks because as soon as that ball
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: hits the ground, it is live. My man just forgot
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: where he was and who he was playing for.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that was a tough play, and people forget these
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: guys are human. Yeah, but I'm sure coaches are pulling
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: their hair out because I guarantee you the special teams
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: coordinated for the Steelers went over that, or he was hot,
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: they probably went over it beforehand. I mean, you've been
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: a coacher, I'm sure there's times you can talk about
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: that before you go out on the field and still
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: have a mental air.
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: But on the Seahawks side, they're on it.
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: Gives a huge shout out to Brian Ayers, who's the
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: Seahawks director of football analytics in special situations, obviously, coach
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: Harbough and everyone they practice all these situations. But I
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: guess Brian Airs brought this up the night before the game,
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: this exact type of situation. Really it comes to fruition.
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: Everybody on the Seahawks new talked about it. And he's
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: hauling his butt down the field, going one hundred miles
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: an hour, and then has the president of mine, this
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: is the live ball. I gotta slow myself down, possess
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: it before you go out of bound. So everyone was
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: locked in just a game of execution, and one team
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: did it.
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: One team didn't coached up.
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: But you imagine Halani running down in him thinking, no
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: he didn't, No, he didn't, just let that football go.
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: And now he's jogging to the sideline. Hall Loti is
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: like free money baby.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: Oh he's probably looking around. What teammates are gonna take
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: this from me? I need this touchout? But no, love
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: love the heads A play, huge play, huge play.
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: The Stillers would add a field goal on the following drive,
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: but the Seahawks would put the final nail in the
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: coffin with a seven play, seventy three yard drive any
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: with a nineteen yard touchdown by K nine.
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: We will break that play down later.
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I love what we saw there that again that's finishing, right,
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: that's the Seahawks were really close against the Niners, and
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: they just didn't finish at the end of the game.
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: A completely different story against the Steelers. Kobe Bryant would
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: pick off Aaron Rodgers on the final possession walk away
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: with a thirty one to seventeen win. The Hawks out
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: gain the Steelers three ninety five or two sixty seven,
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: ran fourteen more plays than it did the week before
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: at sixty four. They were also six and fourteen on
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: third down. Overall, much improved bump. But at the end
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: of the day, you've had the chance to watch the
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: film over and over again.
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: What'd you learn from this week?
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: I learned that Koobiak can adjust the wide zone. The
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: toss is a staple in this offense. We know that,
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: but sometimes it just ain't working. And the Steelers did
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: a great job of getting that wide nine tech. And
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: there was some confusion with the guards on wish linebackers
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: of blocks. There were guys running free and you're getting
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: out leverage. Kopiak says, all right, forget all that. I'm
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: still gonna show you the toss every now and then
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: to keep you honest, but we're gonna go just zone
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: right down they get We're gonna double team these tackles
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: and get things going.
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: So he showed that he can adjust.
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: We also showed that Cooper cut was still playing please
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: one week and everyone's tripping. Cooper Cup can still get
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: it done. And also the defense showed that they are tough.
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: In the box. You go back and you watch the film,
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: Leo threw a man down on the ground who was
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: six six, three hundred and fifteen pounds. He made him
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: look like he was five to eleven, a buck ninety five,
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: like your boy like. He made that grown man looks small.
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: But the intensity in that box was great. And in
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: the defense turning getting turnovers once again, and Sam Darnold
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: being resilient after two interceptions. I bet if I went
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: on X people were lighting him up, saying get him
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: out of here, but he fought back, made the right plays,
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: and Jayson showed he's a number one. That forty three
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: yard reception We're gonna break down. That was man old
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: man him against Ramsey. He comes up with a big play.
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: No love it love everything, agree full sent on everything
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: you said for me. I think what I learned is confirmation.
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: Coach Donald talks about it all the time, a style
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: that no one else wants to play.
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: That's what that was.
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: You talking about the front seven, the physical nature of
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: what they're doing when you get hit. And then he
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: preaches through, not around, right, The Seahawks did not. They
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: went straight through the Steelers to make things happen. That's
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: Derek calls. He's getting to Aaron Rodgers enough. Aaron Rodgers
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: passed him on the butt saying nice, said, yo, fellow,
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying.
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: And then what I love is the depth and the secondary. Right.
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: So not having Devin Withers been one of the best
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: players at his position in the league, let alone on
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: this football team. Not having him, but no one blinked.
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: Darian Ken comes in. He wasn't on the team throughout camp.
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: He started games for the Rams, he played with Ernest Jones.
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: The Seahawks staff had full confidence in him. He comes in,
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: he plays like sixty four percent of the snaps, gets
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: a huge interception. The Anthony Bell was in the game,
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: Shaquille Griffins in. You know there wasn't a drop off
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: in the secondary when you lose someone like Spoon you're
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: expecting going up against someone like DK metcalf Covin Austin's
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: a good player. Fire mouth thrown around there. So I
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: love I love that. And then the last thing, I'll
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: say a lot of third downs. I didn't love how
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: many third and lungs they were in. But what I
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: loved is they converted on some of them, and they
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: gave themselves a chance multiple times. It might have been
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: third and fourteen they got thirteen yards. Yeah, third and
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: twelve they got eleven. They kept an opportunity to make
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: things happen and move the chains. So no, overall, great
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: performance by the Seahawks, and there was tons of people
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: who made plays times, some playmakers.
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: Playmakers told him what time.
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: Holy first playmaker was Starting with the wide receiver Jackson
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: Smith and Jgba eight receptions, one hundred and three yards
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: on ten targets. This was his fifth straight one hundred
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: yard or excuse me, the fifth hundred yard game of
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: Jackson's career and back to back games with one hundred yards.
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: And I love what we're saying. We're talking about. This
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: is this jumping third year, junior year, if you will,
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: in the NFL. He's taking that next step. He took
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: that step in college. He's doing it again here. And
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: you know his rookie season, he didn't have any hundred
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: yard games. Yeah, and then we saw that stretch when
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: DK went down last year. I could be a number
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: one receiver. You just said it in a minute ago.
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: He is proving each and every snap. Why is the
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: number of receiver? Why he gets open, Why he's Sam
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: Donald's favorite target.
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: Late in the game, one on one with Jalen Ramsey,
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: one of the best corners in this game the last
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: eight to nine seasons, and Sam Donald knows where he's
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: going with the football, no safety help over the top,
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: He run a post and with Ramsey on your hip,
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: you make the play. That's number one receiver type performance
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: right there. I'm happy for JSN. And you know what
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: Cooper Cup helped. He helped him. I'm gonna go to
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: Cooper Cup right seven receptions, ninety yards, nine targets, only
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: have three targets against San Francisco.
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: It's almost like you're starting to just warm.
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: Up the vehicle. The vehicles getting warm. It's been tucked
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: away for the winter. It's a summertime vehicle, and now
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: it's starting to maneuver. With Cooper Cup performing at a
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: high level, that's only gonna help Jason continue to be
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: the guy we know he can be.
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, love what we're seeing from the receiving unit. Put
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: it back to the quarterback. Sam Darnold twenty two of
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: thirty three, two hundred and ninety five yards, two touchdowns.
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: He did have the two interceptions, but you talked about
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: resiliency and a lot of the place he made. He
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: made a ton of clutch plays.
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: Down the stretch.
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: My favorite is the one on third down where Free
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: blitz up the middle and he spins to his left,
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: gets out of it, finds Barner, continues to drive, then
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: finds JSN and just plays like that.
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: Most people wouldn't put that in Sam Darnold's toolbox, elusiveness,
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: figuring ways they out. But dude to just a playmaker,
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: and I love what we saw from him on Sunday.
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: Sam, keep being a thing. K nine is back. He
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: hads to remind people you must forgot, is what he said,
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: all right. Thirteen carries one hundred and five yards, one touchdown,
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: first one h hundred yard games this week one last
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: week against Denver, he passed my former teammate Maurice Morris
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: for tenth place on Seattle's all time rushing list with
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: two thousand, six hundred and fifty three. The nineteen yard
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: touchdown was clutch. That was and that was on third
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: and long.
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: It was a thirding goal. But yeah, it was like
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: thirty nineteen.
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: You're running that play, all right, Maybe we break it,
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: possibly just line up for a field goal. Canine says,
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: not on trip, I got you. Lineman did a great
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: job blocking on that play as well. But no, K
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: nine was downhill. There was no dance, and then when
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: he did dance, it was dancing with purpose, like it
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: made sense when he was dancing, but he got downhill.
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: Love the way he played. Yeah, no, I think you
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: said it just right, Ken Walker man.
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: Everyone was ready to abandon him because he had he
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: didn't have the greatest game in the stat book. There's
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: so many things, just like receivers that have to go
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: right for running back to have success. Yep, it's a
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: Tannam unit. Just like Zach Sharberney was unlucky this last
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: week too. He's not all of a sudden the bad
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: football player exactly. So give him some grace. But lovel
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: we saw from Ken Walker, then Byron Murphy the young man.
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: I think I love the jumpies taken in his second
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: year football season. I think he's gonna do great for
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: the Seahawks. Five tackles, one and a half sacks, one TfL,
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: three QB hits.
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: And I found this cool out from next Gen stats.
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: The Seahawks generated pressure on forty percent of Rogers dropbacks
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: when rushing four fewer defenders, which resulted in thirteen pressures
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: in three sacks on those plays. The Hawks only blitz
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: on four dropbacks, probably because they're getting home with four
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: big reason of that was Byron Murphy. He's making an
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: impact rushing the passer as well as in the middle
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: in that run game. So a level ro team for Byron.
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Byron, that might have been his best game as
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: a pro. I don't think might have. I think it's pretty.
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: So all right, So well you heard it here and
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: that's the best game as a pro. And last, but
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: not least, got Ernest Jones man ten tackles, nine solo,
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: led the team in tackles. And what Ernest Jones did
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: too is like after the play, I'm watching his emotion,
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: how he's talking to guys and getting them going. He's
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: the guy out there. There are multiple leaders. You look
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: at Leo Jy Reed as well, Jay Love, but Ernest
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: Jones He's He's comfortable in his role here in Seattle.
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: No question about it. Love it.
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: Ever since the day he stepped foot in this building,
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: he has been a bumple foot it over the wide
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: receiver round up. We said it last week. I think
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: it's gonna look a little bit better this week, and
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: it definitely did.
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: Little Mo Betta, you got JSN leading the way eight
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: receptions on ten targets for one to oh three a long.
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: Of forty three.
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: Cooper Cup really got the party going, honestly in the
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: past game seven receptions on nine targets for ninety yards.
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: Tory Horton has his first touchdown as a pro. He
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: had two receptions for thirty two to one touchdown. Elijah
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: Arroyo had a big play as well. He had a
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: twenty four yard game. He had two receptions for thirty one. A. J.
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: Barner scores his first first touchdown this year. He's sneaky
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: had four touchdowns last year. I didn't realize that till
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: I went back and looked at him. He had one
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: touchdown two for twenty six and Keneth Walker, Hey, you
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: just run the rock. But well, we accept your contributions
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: to the past game. He had one reception for thirteen yards.
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: It was it's bounced. It's more bounced. That was gonna happen.
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: We know the week one against San Francisco's lofsided for
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: a reason, but that was more balanced. And now for
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: one of our favorite segments right here's plays of the game.
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: This first one, we're talking about Tory Horton, the rookie
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: wide receiver, getting his first career touchdown.
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: Arnold has time, gonna throw it to the near side.
• 17:02
  Speaker 5: He's got a man touchdown Shayhawks and it's the rookie
• 17:07
  Speaker 5: Tory Horton reaches down, makes the catch, the Seahawks a
• 17:12
  Speaker 5: nine play drive. They pay it off with a twenty
• 17:15
  Speaker 5: one yard touchdown pass to Tory Horton, and the Seahawks
• 17:20
  Speaker 5: are on the board with their first possession of the game.
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: Man, so happy for Tory in this situation. So you
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: have a twelve personnel and that's one running back in
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: the backfield by himself. You have two tight ends and
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: kind of like the wing position, you got JSN to
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: the bottom the right of Sam Donald, and you have
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: Tory Horton to the left of Sam Donald a little
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: tight to that tight end over there. It's gonna happen
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: as Sam Donald he snaps a hikes to football fakes
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: the hand off to our guy, Zach Sharvin name the
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: two linebackers. Outside linebackers are gonna flow with the tight end.
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: You got one to the left of Sam Donald keeping
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: an eye. I think that sobered over there, and you
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: have another one to the right of Sam Donald flowing
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: with the tight end that releases in the flap. What
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: happens with JSN He is running a crossing route. This
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: is a game playing type of thing. He's running that
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: cross the route. As soon as that safety realizes Jasn
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: is running the crossing route, He's gonna jump down to
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: help that corner who has him manned ub. What that
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: does it frees up Horton to be one on one
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: with this guy. He already has leverage on him. He's
• 18:17
  Speaker 3: running a crossing route. All he has to do is
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: run to space. But a piece of this thing that
• 18:22
  Speaker 3: I think people need to really appreciate and understam is
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: that Sam Donald stayed in.
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: That pocket and took a big hit.
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: You guy, Zach Charbonnay, who's responsible for Queen trying to
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: help out on that blitz. You also have I believe
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: that is Sundale. I've seen with Sundeal. Yeah, Gray's Abel
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: over there helping out with that one. Tech tries to
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: help out with Queen, but Queen, being one of the
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: best backers in the game, splits both of those guys,
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: and Sam is looking down the barrel of the gun
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: and says, I gotta stand here allow for this receiver
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: to open up in Horton take a hit, but deliver
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: a ball. That's the toughness of Sam Donald and Horton
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: being fast enough to make a play.
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there's so many good things that happen on this play.
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: And you mentioned it from the defensive secondary perspective. If
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: I see, it's a two man route, right, because Oots
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: is lined up essentially as the tight end on the
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: one side and Sebert the other side.
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: Two man route.
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: If I'm looking, if I'm in the secondary and I
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: see where number eleven is, yeah, and it's essentially kind
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: of a man free situation.
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: I am going to where number eleven is.
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: That's exactly what the safety does as he makes that
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: break though, because Sam Darnald does a great job of
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: looking Jays Santa Cross holding that safety a little bit.
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: And then because the safety decides to make a break,
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: Jalen Ramsey has to take a high angle. He's already
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: an outside trail tech. He's already no outside technique and
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: now he to not run into his teammate. He has
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: to take a higher angle and at that point, no
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: chance Tory Horton is fast. There's I mean anything in
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: the secondary's levels right. Anytime the offense runs those kind
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: of plays in man situations, even if you have a
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: free safety who's roman. That's hard to do and it
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: showed up and like you said, Sam Donald tough his
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: nails like that to be able to just stand in
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: there and not flinch and deliver a perfect ball. Love
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: what we saw before, seeing a lot of great plays
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: are you know from everyone on that play Getting Tory
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: Horden in the end zone another good play that kind
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: of got the party started. This kind of finished at
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: Ken Walker getting in the end zone.
• 20:10
  Speaker 4: Nineteen yard touchdown, third and goal from the nineteen Walker
• 20:14
  Speaker 4: now in the backfield, jsn wind to the left side
• 20:17
  Speaker 4: and Walker's gonna get the toss.
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: He's going left side, He's got some blocking. He turns up.
• 20:20
  Speaker 4: Philly's down at tip to five touchdown Shayhawks Ken Walker
• 20:25
  Speaker 4: the third. If the Steelers are gonna load up near
• 20:29
  Speaker 4: the line of scrimmage, Walker is gonna flank in to
• 20:31
  Speaker 4: the left and run.
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: Right past you. And he does.
• 20:35
  Speaker 5: The Seahawks score again. It is thirty to seventeen.
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: Third and long situation here.
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: You got the Pittsburgh Steelers are only gonna rush for
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: They're gonna drop seven.
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: All they're trying to do is let's get to the football.
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: Let's make a tackle and allow these guys to force
• 20:51
  Speaker 3: these guys to kick a field goal. You have Sam
• 20:54
  Speaker 3: Donald in shotgun position. What he's gonna do he is
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: is gonna do a little toss to Kanine. But I
• 20:59
  Speaker 3: want to look at Sober does a great job sealing
• 21:02
  Speaker 3: that edge, which allows Charles Cross to wrap around and
• 21:05
  Speaker 3: I'll become a lead blocker for K nine trying to
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: get to the outside. You also have your guards who
• 21:10
  Speaker 3: release to the second level. They're just trying to find bodies.
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: Let the bodies hit the flow, trying to find some bodies.
• 21:15
  Speaker 3: And also you have JSN who might have missed his
• 21:17
  Speaker 3: initial block, but as soon as he misses that initial block,
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: he terms a film and he's looking for work. The
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: work he's looking for. Grey z Ab already has that handle.
• 21:24
  Speaker 3: He's going to that safety and he's knocking him down.
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 21:26
  Speaker 3: K nine does a good job of getting wide, getting
• 21:29
  Speaker 3: north and south and just following the white jerseys. This
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: is what you call an escort to the end zone.
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: You got your guards getting to the second level. You
• 21:38
  Speaker 3: have your tackle wrapping around as a lead blocker. You
• 21:40
  Speaker 3: have your tight end sealing that age for you receivers
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: getting downfilled. And the rest is God giving the ability
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: from your man K nine.
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll tell you this, looking at from the defensive side.
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: If I see number sixty seven pulling around the edge
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: and I got forced up the corner out there, good luck,
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: good luck to you, hey, hey, especially now, because you
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: can't just try.
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: To cut their legs out. So you gotta play football.
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: You gotta do that dance thing when you're kind of
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: pretending you no, it was good night. You love to
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: see that. And then on the backside too, So I
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: kind of looked at this play, I'm like, Okay, why
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: isn't anyone else getting to the play. I'm thinking, where's
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: Patrick Queen at? Why is he not getting into the play? Well,
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: it looks like he kind of undercuts. I believe that's
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: on the backside climbing to the second level. I believe
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: that was Bradford, whoever it was, he tried to got underneath,
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: and Patrick Queen kind of cuts underneath instead of fighting
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: over the top. If he fights over the top, I
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: think he might be able to get in this play.
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: He cuts the underneath, thinking some of his teammates are
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: going to force it back to him. Does not happen,
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: and he's not a factor in this play. And it's
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: just effort. You said, you talked about a Gray's able
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: getting to the next level everybody. And it's fun to
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: see because this is the type of football that the
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: Seahawks want to play and I love I love to
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: see it. So the guys are balling out, they're playing well,
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: and that brings us to a formation we haven't got
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: to do this year. It's one of our favorite ones,
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: victory formation.
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: Here comes the Seahawk offense onto.
• 22:59
  Speaker 4: The field in the Vikings defense, crunching out there knowing
• 23:04
  Speaker 4: that one meal down and the Seahawks are gonna line
• 23:07
  Speaker 4: the clock.
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: Down and win this one. It's the victory formation on
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: Hawk Talk.
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: Seahawks went on the road across the country get the
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: job done. Again's a good Steelers ball club they in
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: the second half. The Seahawks cash in on all their opportunities.
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: Week one, it was about missed opportunities. They played well,
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: they were the better team, didn't cash in when they
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: needed to. That was not the case on Sunday. They
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: did everything they needed to do, outscoring the Steelers twenty
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: four to three in the second half.
• 23:32
  Speaker 3: K nine went for over hunting on the ground, Jay
• 23:34
  Speaker 3: sim went over one hundred.
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: Through the air. He had a big special teams play.
• 23:38
  Speaker 3: If you can do that every single week, man, I
• 23:39
  Speaker 3: think you have a chance to win ball games man.
• 23:42
  Speaker 3: In The Hawks held DKs to three receptions for twenty yards.
• 23:46
  Speaker 3: Discore a touchdown, but we'll take those type of numbers.
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: No question about it, especially with all the you know,
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: everyone can downplayed as much as they want DK of course,
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: you know that was a big game and someone of
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: his caliber. We talked about it with a secondary missing
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: dev Witherspoon to hold in the three R twenty receptions.
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: We haven't mentioned his name once yet, Shame on me.
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: Josh Joe, Yeah, totally smokes man. Yeah, played some great football.
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: You talked about it some teach tape. The way he
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: speaks for everything that he does is so technically sound.
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: And he's playing great ball. Yes, great ball. So leve
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: what we saw from them, and then up front getting
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: making pressure on Aaron Rodgers. He will hit eight time,
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: sacked three times. That's a winning recipe. Mm hmm, we'll
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: do it, big win. Spoon wasn't in the game. Nick
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: wasn't in the game. We mentioned all the other backups.
