Speaker 1: can find out. It doesn't look like Carlos is going
1:10
Speaker 1: to make it. Um. Still, we got to take care
1:11
Speaker 1: of the hamstring. So um. We brought in Alex Collins
1:15
Speaker 1: to help us out if we need it. He's on
1:17
Speaker 1: the practice squad right now and we'll see how he
1:19
Speaker 1: works today. For sure. It looks like Homer is back

Speaker 1: ready to go. That really helps us, um. So DJ
1:27
Speaker 1: did a nice job last week. He and Homer if
1:29
Speaker 1: they if they handle it, will be in good shape.
1:31
Speaker 1: And if we have an opportunity to get Chris back
1:35
Speaker 1: out there, we'll do that for sure. On the defensive side,
1:37
Speaker 1: cornerbacks Shaquille Griffin is still recovering from his concussion and
1:40
Speaker 1: hamstring injury. It was how that out of practice on Wednesday,
1:43
Speaker 1: but still hopeful that he will be able to play

Speaker 1: the point. It was so close last week and would
1:57
Speaker 1: have had a chance last week, we couldn't quite get

Speaker 1: season long. You said it, the Buffalo Bills six and two,
2:20
Speaker 1: taken on the Seattle Seahawks. Who's next, Who's next, Who's next?
2:31
Speaker 1: Who's next? It's the Buffalo Bills. They're six and two,
2:33
Speaker 1: first place in the AFCAS. When's the last time you
2:36
Speaker 1: said the Buffalo Bills are in first place in the AFCAS.
2:40
Speaker 1: It don't happen. We ain't seen that in a long time.
2:43
Speaker 1: That's what the nineties. So, yeah, I was a child, man,
2:45
Speaker 1: we're talking about Ken Garyfeet Junior. I was a little
2:47
Speaker 1: kid in the nineties. Man, it's been a minute. It's
2:49
Speaker 1: been a hot minute. It's been a hot minute. Now
2:52
Speaker 1: they've beaten the New York Jets twice. They beat the Dolphins,
2:56
Speaker 1: the La Rams, the Vegas Raiders, the New England Pages.
2:59
Speaker 1: When they lost to the Tennessee Titans and the Kansas
3:02
Speaker 1: City Chiefs, their two losses are against pretty good teams.
3:05
Speaker 1: Now you look at their wins the Jets twice. We
3:08
Speaker 1: know how we feel about the Jets. Miami looks like
3:12
Speaker 1: they're getting better. Miami's turning the corner. New England Patriots,
3:15
Speaker 1: I just don't believe in them anymore. Poor Cam, poor Belichick.
3:19
Speaker 1: So again another week where I'm kind of like, Okay,
3:21
Speaker 1: this is a good football team, but are they a
3:23
Speaker 1: good football team? It's hard to tell. You the six
3:25
Speaker 1: and chee record, Like you said, the Jets, we can
3:27
Speaker 1: throw that out the window. Miami. I'm slowly starting to
3:31
Speaker 1: kind of believe that they're going to fight the Bills
3:33
Speaker 1: in that AFC East, And you know that, we see
3:35
Speaker 1: Miami put the beat the brakes off of the Rams.
3:39
Speaker 1: They whooped up on the Niners before they are completely injured,
3:42
Speaker 1: so they're they're kind of okay. And obviously the Rams
3:44
Speaker 1: are a decent team, and then the Raiders are playing decently,
3:47
Speaker 1: so it's it's hard to tell. Looking at their schedule.
3:49
Speaker 1: But this last week the Patriots man there there that
3:54
Speaker 1: is not the New England Patriots used to seeing, and
3:56
Speaker 1: so they get beat again. Game came down to the wire.
3:59
Speaker 1: The Patriots how a chance to tie the game. They
4:01
Speaker 1: drove twelve plays a sixty five yards down to the
4:04
Speaker 1: Buffalo nineteen yard line. And you Patriots fans, you're probably
4:08
Speaker 1: feeling sick over this play. Short motion by Myers. The
4:12
Speaker 1: staff newt he's gonna run it to the left, turns
4:14
Speaker 1: up field a cost of fifteen You lost it fumbled
4:18
Speaker 1: at the twelve yard line and the Bills recover. The
4:22
Speaker 1: Bills have recovered Marlowe for Buffalo diving toward the loose
4:26
Speaker 1: ball and he comes away with it as Cam Newtan
4:32
Speaker 1: lost to handle well within field goal range running to
4:36
Speaker 1: the Buffalo twelve yard line with thirty one seconds to go,
4:40
Speaker 1: and I was just to kill it. Chance to win
4:42
Speaker 1: the game. They're at the minimum they had time on
4:44
Speaker 1: the clock that maybe they go win a game of
4:45
Speaker 1: a touchdown there inside the red zone at the very
4:47
Speaker 1: least you think they can kick a field goal. It
4:49
Speaker 1: doesn't happen. The Patriots fall the two and five on
4:51
Speaker 1: the season, first time since Tom Brady's rookie year that
4:54
Speaker 1: they had a two and five record and lost four
4:56
Speaker 1: games in a row. Man, it is rough down in
4:58
Speaker 1: New England. I know know we're focusing on the Bills,
5:01
Speaker 1: but I feel bad for Cam Newton. Man. He just
5:03
Speaker 1: can't get right. I'm just calling mister can't get right
5:06
Speaker 1: this year. He cannot figure to sing out ball security,
5:08
Speaker 1: job security. Belichick's going through something he's never been through.
5:12
Speaker 1: But it is what it is. Let's talk about these
5:14
Speaker 1: Bills now. Josh Allen had an average performance eleven for eighteen,
5:18
Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty four yards, one touchdowns, But where
5:21
Speaker 1: they got a going was on the ground. The Bills
5:23
Speaker 1: had one hundred ninety eight rush yards three rushing touchdowns.
5:26
Speaker 1: And I think this is the formula for this team
5:29
Speaker 1: Earlier in the season, Josh Allen, MVP candidate, doing all
5:32
Speaker 1: this stuff. Okay, after like week four, teams start to
5:35
Speaker 1: figure you out. And now you got to be a quarterback.
5:37
Speaker 1: And he hasn't had the production that we saw early.
5:40
Speaker 1: This is the recipe for this team. Have him throw
5:42
Speaker 1: at twenty twenty five times, hand the ball off to
5:45
Speaker 1: your running backs, takes shots to Stefan Diggs and colebas
5:48
Speaker 1: and we have the opportunity. Yeah. No, I totally agree
5:50
Speaker 1: with you. I think I think they need to have
5:51
Speaker 1: balanced in their offense definitely. Like you said, I think
5:54
Speaker 1: people got a little carried away with the MVP talks
5:56
Speaker 1: with Josh Allen early on and even in the Jet game.
6:00
Speaker 1: So they beat the Jets eighteen to ten, but they
6:02
Speaker 1: kicked like six field goals. It was an ugly game.
6:04
Speaker 1: We know that the Jets football teams like. And in
6:06
Speaker 1: that game, Alan threw the ball forty three times, and
6:09
Speaker 1: then you last forward to last Sunday, he only threw
6:11
Speaker 1: eighteen times through a lot in the run games. That's
6:12
Speaker 1: definitely something I think that they need to do to
6:15
Speaker 1: have any kind of success against the Seahawks. It's gonna
6:17
Speaker 1: be tough because we're getting against the run, but like
6:19
Speaker 1: you said, that's got to be the formula because him
6:22
Speaker 1: sitting back there, especially in Buffalo with the weather and
6:24
Speaker 1: all that stuff, trying to throw the ball with forty
6:26
Speaker 1: times is not going to be a recipe for success
6:28
Speaker 1: for them, not for them, but it should be for
6:31
Speaker 1: the Hawks. Don't matter what the weather is. I say,
6:32
Speaker 1: let Russell do a thing. He's gonna toss that thing
6:34
Speaker 1: all across the field. Now, head to head comparison, you
6:37
Speaker 1: look at these stats. The Bills don't exhale at anything,
6:42
Speaker 1: but they're average at a lot of things. Those are
6:45
Speaker 1: the scary teams because that tells me there are days
6:47
Speaker 1: where they will light up the scoreboard and the defense
6:50
Speaker 1: will hold it down. And then there are days where
6:52
Speaker 1: they won't light up the scoreboard and defense will give
6:54
Speaker 1: up a bunch of points. They're just not consistent right now.
6:57
Speaker 1: Rush defense, they're twenty six in the NFL. Is this
7:00
Speaker 1: the game that the Hawks get their run game going
7:03
Speaker 1: and Russell Wilson doesn't leave the charge as the leading
7:05
Speaker 1: rusher on the team, You know, I hope so. I
7:07
Speaker 1: think we saw DJ Dallas kind of get his feet
7:09
Speaker 1: wet last week. Definitely hoping Chris Carson's back, Travis Homer
7:13
Speaker 1: has another way to stay healthy. Who knows about Carlos Hide.
7:15
Speaker 1: Hopefully he can come back. We'll wait and see on that.
7:18
Speaker 1: But I mean the proofs in the putting right there.
7:20
Speaker 1: I mean twenty six rush defense the NFL. We know
7:22
Speaker 1: we have the best offense, but it would be nice
7:24
Speaker 1: to see us get an opportunity because like you said,
7:27
Speaker 1: that's probably the worst thing that they do is a
7:28
Speaker 1: rush defense. Everything else, like you mentioned is just is average.
7:31
Speaker 1: I mean total offense their thirteenth with three hundred and
7:34
Speaker 1: seventy yards a game, rush offense tied for nineteenth. Past
7:38
Speaker 1: offense tenth points per game nineteenth. So they don't do
7:41
Speaker 1: anything super well, but they do just enough to win
7:45
Speaker 1: ball games, and they don't cause turnovers. They are minus
7:49
Speaker 1: one in the turn off a differential situation, so that
7:52
Speaker 1: is good for the Hawks on paper head to head comparison,
7:55
Speaker 1: the Hawks should be able to get this done. But
7:57
Speaker 1: you know this game, this is the NFL. Got some
8:00
Speaker 1: guys some balls over there as well. So now it's
8:02
Speaker 1: getting to our next segment. No your history, No your history.
8:08
Speaker 1: So the Seahawks and the Bills, they haven't played as
8:10
Speaker 1: much as other teams as you'd imagine, being an AFC
8:12
Speaker 1: East Seahawks league. The all time series eight to five.
8:16
Speaker 1: They won their last two meetings. Now, their last meeting
8:19
Speaker 1: consequently was almost four years ago this week. It was
8:23
Speaker 1: November seven, twenty sixteen, on Monday Night football. Definitely a
8:27
Speaker 1: weird game came down on the final drive. I don't
8:28
Speaker 1: know if you guys, remember Richard Sherman had a pick
8:31
Speaker 1: and him and Rex Ryan got into it on the
8:33
Speaker 1: sideline Bill with John Action. Then there was a block
8:35
Speaker 1: kick that people thought the Seahawks should have got a roughing.
8:38
Speaker 1: The kicker call didn't happen. Bills drive all the way
8:41
Speaker 1: down to the Seahawks eight yard len Tyrod Taylor got
8:43
Speaker 1: sacked on third and eight by Cliff April. Then his
8:46
Speaker 1: fourth down pass fell incomplete. But just another note for people,
8:49
Speaker 1: forget for all those Jimmy Graham haters, he was low
8:53
Speaker 1: ball in that day. He was eight receptions, one hundred
8:55
Speaker 1: three yards, two touchdowns. Both of them were one handed,
8:58
Speaker 1: highlight reel type catches. People forget that Jimmy Graham leads
9:01
Speaker 1: almost every tight end category all time in Sehaws history.
9:04
Speaker 1: So it wasn't all bad. Calm down twelve and they're
9:06
Speaker 1: gonna get mad at me. Everyone sayd and Jimmy Graham
9:08
Speaker 1: wasn't all bad. But also it was just kind of
9:11
Speaker 1: reminder of where a run game is gone right. It
9:14
Speaker 1: was Marshawn Lanche. It was amazing. Then it came down bump.
9:19
Speaker 1: They won that football game. Tyler Lockett was the leading
9:22
Speaker 1: rusher with one carry for thirteen yards. Team rush for
9:25
Speaker 1: thirty three yards on the night christ and Michael had
9:28
Speaker 1: five carries for one yard. Wow, I don't miss those days.
9:31
Speaker 1: There have been darker days. Twelves remember that. And I
9:37
Speaker 1: thank you for pointing out Jimmy Graham. I know everyone, Jimmy,
9:40
Speaker 1: he didn't do this. Jimmy's not a blocking tight end.
9:42
Speaker 1: He never was a blocking tight end. He came to
9:44
Speaker 1: Seattle expect expecting him. The blog was not the key.
9:47
Speaker 1: This is what you want him to do. Cast sets owns,
9:49
Speaker 1: that's what he did. And as far as the run
9:51
Speaker 1: game goes, whenever you got young Tyler Lockett number sixteen
9:54
Speaker 1: leading your team, that's not a good look. So the
9:58
Speaker 1: run game isn't where you used to to be. But
10:00
Speaker 1: it ain't there anymore. The it ain't what two thousand
10:03
Speaker 1: and sixteen where Tyler Lockett is leading the team in
10:05
Speaker 1: rushing with one carry for thirteen yards. So that was
10:08
Speaker 1: no your history. Let's go around the NFC West. What's
10:12
Speaker 1: the word in the West, and the Seahawks are the
10:18
Speaker 1: NFC West champs? Again, what's the word in the West?
10:23
Speaker 1: On Hot Talk the word in the West, the Seattle
10:27
Speaker 1: Seahawks are standing at the top six to one, looking
10:30
Speaker 1: down all these peasants. Arizonas five and two. The Rams
10:35
Speaker 1: are five and three, took care of the ninus. They
10:37
Speaker 1: are four and four, so they're by themselves now. The
10:40
Speaker 1: Cardinals how to buy. So we'll see what they do
10:42
Speaker 1: this week. But right now we're feeling good. The main
10:45
Speaker 1: thing about last week was you can't go oh and
10:48
Speaker 1: two in the division, and they took care of business.
10:51
Speaker 1: Let's talk about these forty nine ers. Oh my goodness,
10:53
Speaker 1: and Niners are going through right now. Man, you mentioned
10:56
Speaker 1: it like you kind of feel bad for him, but
10:58
Speaker 1: you kind of don't. You got Jimmy out with an
11:00
Speaker 1: of the high ankle spring, George Kittle broke a bone
11:02
Speaker 1: in his foot. Most dirt is out. Coleman got knocked
11:05
Speaker 1: out of that game. I feel bad for the forty
11:08
Speaker 1: nine ers, but I ain't mad that the Hawks defense
11:11
Speaker 1: was laying dudes out. Pettis knocked Pettis out the game.
11:13
Speaker 1: I know you dubbed guy. You guys love him out here,
11:15
Speaker 1: but this full bust a violent game, and it seemed
11:18
Speaker 1: like the Hawks got back to that violent style of play.
11:21
Speaker 1: They were just playing physical. There was no dirty plays
11:23
Speaker 1: out there. They were just playing physical. Bobby Wagner, who
11:25
Speaker 1: was in Jimmy Garoppolo's face all game, the secondary from
11:29
Speaker 1: the jump, u Quandre Diggs first play the game comes
11:32
Speaker 1: down downhill, knock somebody out. I mean, the Seahawks were
11:34
Speaker 1: playing physical. You never want to see injuries for the Niners.
11:37
Speaker 1: But my goodness, Bump, I mean they I'm not gonna
11:40
Speaker 1: say it because they're not They're International Football League. Kyle
11:43
Speaker 1: Shanahan's a great coach, but it is looking bad for
11:46
Speaker 1: the Niner fans out there. Man. I honestly, I don't
11:48
Speaker 1: know him, and they have to play on Thursday night
11:50
Speaker 1: football and there's some COVID stuff. It's just it's a
11:53
Speaker 1: bad deal for the Niners. Man. I think that might
11:55
Speaker 1: be the final nail of the coffin for the people
11:57
Speaker 1: down to Santa Clara. Yep, saying y'all hold tight now
12:01
Speaker 1: about these Rams, man. The Rams lost to Miami. If
12:03
Speaker 1: you just look at the stat sheet, you look at
12:05
Speaker 1: the numbers, you're like, oh, yeah, the Rams won this easily,
12:07
Speaker 1: even what the turnovers, they got it done. But no,
12:10
Speaker 1: they take at l to the Miami Dolphins and is
12:13
Speaker 1: all about turning the ball over and Miami's deefens got
12:17
Speaker 1: two scores and a score on special teams. You've been
12:19
Speaker 1: a coach, I've been a coach. You scoring defense, you
12:21
Speaker 1: scoring special teams, You're probably gonna win this football game.
12:24
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter what you do offensively. If you score
12:26
Speaker 1: three times on defense just so alone, or three times
12:28
Speaker 1: on defense special teams, you're definitely gonna win the game.
12:29
Speaker 1: I mean, these stats are like if they don't make sense. Honestly,
12:32
Speaker 1: I'm scratching my head. The Rams had thirty one first sounds,
12:35
Speaker 1: Miami had eight eight for the game. The Rams gained
12:40
Speaker 1: four hundred and seventy yards total offense, Dolphins one hundred
12:43
Speaker 1: forty five. Rams throw over three forty Dolphins head to night.
12:47
Speaker 1: I mean time possession thirty six twenty three. It's I mean,
12:50
Speaker 1: it just makes no sense. But like you said, turnovers.
12:53
Speaker 1: Talk about the ball and when you don't take care
12:54
Speaker 1: of it. That's why Pete Carroll preaches at this is
12:56
Speaker 1: what happens now. But I'm telling me about Jered goff Man.
12:59
Speaker 1: He throws with you're in fifty five yards, but he
13:01
Speaker 1: turns the ball with four times. What is his deal? Man?
13:05
Speaker 1: He can't handle the pressure. Man, There's something about this
13:08
Speaker 1: dude that doesn't say, when things get tough, I'm gonna
13:11
Speaker 1: grit my teeth. I'm gonna look my guys in an
13:13
Speaker 1: eye and say, Okay, we're gonna battle through this something.
13:15
Speaker 1: And especially when you blitz the guy you send pressure
13:18
Speaker 1: towards Jared gob he gets happy fee. He just wants
13:20
Speaker 1: to let the ball go. He looks like your quarterback
13:25
Speaker 1: in middle school who has had a dope line in
13:26
Speaker 1: front of him all his life, and then he gets
13:28
Speaker 1: he plays on varsity football and he's seeing some blitzes.
13:31
Speaker 1: He doesn't know what to do. He gets happy feet
13:33
Speaker 1: and he lets it go. So he's still a mystery.
13:36
Speaker 1: The talent is there, you see the talent. Dude can
13:39
Speaker 1: throw the ball, he can slang it. Good for him,
13:41
Speaker 1: but he just can't handle the pressure. I don't know
13:44
Speaker 1: what it is about this guy. What's the next step?
13:48
Speaker 1: I don't know. Man, You tell me you got any
13:50
Speaker 1: answer to that. It doesn't make sense to me, because,
13:52
Speaker 1: like you said, the talent is there. Sean McVeigh is
13:55
Speaker 1: an incredible offensive mind. They've done it in twenty eighteen
13:58
Speaker 1: when they're rolling, they were gonna no one's gonna tell
14:00
Speaker 1: them nothing. They were blowing past everybody offensively. Sean mcvays,
14:04
Speaker 1: his big genius Jared Goff is looking like he's gonna
14:07
Speaker 1: be that guy and he got paid like that guy.
14:08
Speaker 1: It's just weird to me because one day he'll come
14:11
Speaker 1: out and he'll just be like, man, that's a Jared
14:12
Speaker 1: Goff that they paid, and then, like last Sunday, you'd
14:15
Speaker 1: have scratched in your head like who is that? It's
14:17
Speaker 1: it's honestly mystery. But just because we're talking about this,
14:20
Speaker 1: you know what Jared Goff, we're gonna see when we
14:22
Speaker 1: play the Ramps. You know it's gonna be the good
14:24
Speaker 1: Jared Goff because they always give his problems. Always he's
14:27
Speaker 1: he's always ready to go. All right, Now, let's talk
14:29
Speaker 1: about some matchups in our man up. Second? Is this man?
14:36
Speaker 1: This man up on Hawk Talk? All right, we're talking
14:43
Speaker 1: about the Bills in the number one matchup this weekend.
14:46
Speaker 1: You can't look anywhere past the quarterback position, and that's
14:49
Speaker 1: Josh Allen. So Josh Allen taking on the Seahawks defense.
14:52
Speaker 1: And the thing about Josh Allen, man is people are
14:55
Speaker 1: gonna say some stuff about this man, and I'm just
14:56
Speaker 1: gonna put this out there without actually saying it. He's
14:59
Speaker 1: not sneaky as he's not sneaky athletic okay code word.
15:03
Speaker 1: He is just a good athlete. The man is six five,
15:07
Speaker 1: two hundred and thirty seven pounds and he can hurt
15:09
Speaker 1: you with his arms and his legs. Kind Of looking
15:12
Speaker 1: at the numbers here, he's eighteen one hundred and eighty
15:14
Speaker 1: six of two seventy seven for two thousand, one hundred
15:16
Speaker 1: and seventy yards, sixteen touchdowns, just five picks, and I
15:20
Speaker 1: mentioned his legs. Fifty eight carries, two hundred twenty seven
15:23
Speaker 1: yards in four rushing touchdowns. So this dude can play.
15:26
Speaker 1: I mean, he'll make some mistakes, but he's a good
15:28
Speaker 1: athlete and he's gonna be a big challenge for the
15:30
Speaker 1: Seahawks defense. Dude got talent. Say what you want, the
15:33
Speaker 1: dude has talent. Now. He started off the season with
15:36
Speaker 1: three games he throw over three hundred yards and had
15:39
Speaker 1: ten touchdown passes. That's when everyone's saying, look out, he
15:42
Speaker 1: might be MVP. And he was in the race. You
15:44
Speaker 1: can't ignore the numbers. He wasn't a race. But since
15:46
Speaker 1: then he's cooled down. He has thrown him a touch
15:50
Speaker 1: jump pass in the last two games. In the last
15:52
Speaker 1: four games, he's strown as many interceptions ass touchdounds that
15:55
Speaker 1: is four. That is what is his second year is
15:58
Speaker 1: third year, third years, third year. Okay, so this is
16:00
Speaker 1: the maturation of a quarterback. Right when you are drafted
16:04
Speaker 1: to a team, you're expected to lead the charge. It's
16:06
Speaker 1: gonna take most guys three or four years to figure
16:08
Speaker 1: this thing out. He has shown glimpses of them now.
16:11
Speaker 1: He's completingly a sixty seven percent of his passes. QB
16:14
Speaker 1: rating is one hundred and four. That rings tenth in
16:16
Speaker 1: the NFL. That ain't bad. He's not a bad quarterback.
16:19
Speaker 1: He's not a Russell Wilson. He's not Pat Mahomes, is
16:21
Speaker 1: not Tom Brady's not Drew Brees. But this guy is
16:24
Speaker 1: dangerous if you if you blitz him and you play
16:27
Speaker 1: man and he can maneuver out of that blitz, he
16:29
Speaker 1: can scamper down the field for fifteen twenty yards and
16:31
Speaker 1: make things happen. Oh yeah, no, the dude, like we said,
16:34
Speaker 1: he's incredibly athletic. He'll The thing that pressed me the
16:36
Speaker 1: most about him is still stand in the pocket even
16:39
Speaker 1: when pressure is coming. He'll still sit there and take
16:40
Speaker 1: a hit. And he's a guy that's gonna take chances.
16:42
Speaker 1: He will throw the ball up to his weapons and
16:44
Speaker 1: give them a shot to make place. And if you
16:46
Speaker 1: don't get home when you blitz, it's gonna be a
16:48
Speaker 1: long day as well as if you let him get
16:50
Speaker 1: outside the pocket. Now, he's not the prototypical He's not
16:52
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson, he's not any though. He's not Colin Murray.
16:56
Speaker 1: But you still have to be incredibly disciplined from your
16:58
Speaker 1: defensive ends in that Leo position keep him in the pocket.
17:01
Speaker 1: He one thing I'll say about him, he has had
17:04
Speaker 1: some accuracy issues the kind of watch him film and
17:06
Speaker 1: their losses in Kansas City and some of the other
17:08
Speaker 1: teams they had. There's a little bit of weather action,
17:11
Speaker 1: but who'll miss some throws. But he's still he still
17:15
Speaker 1: got that talent and every any given snap he has
17:17
Speaker 1: a chance to make a really big play. So he's
17:18
Speaker 1: definitely a key to this game. You mentioned him standing
17:21
Speaker 1: inside the pocket, taking the head and making the throws.
17:25
Speaker 1: Next matchup, he's gonna be thrown in these guys. Stefan
17:27
Speaker 1: DA's Cole Beasley verse the Seahawks secondary dig is on fire,
17:31
Speaker 1: and I don't think he's getting enough credit right now,
17:33
Speaker 1: maybe because he's tucked up in Buffalo. Fifty four reception
17:36
Speaker 1: six ninety five yards, three touchdowns, twelve point nine yards
17:40
Speaker 1: per catch. Dude is fast. I'm watching them on film.
17:44
Speaker 1: His understanding on how to move guys and his double
17:46
Speaker 1: moves are so quick. His deceleration, the acceleration is second
17:51
Speaker 1: to none in the league right now. And then you
17:53
Speaker 1: compliment that with the little dude in the slot, Beasley
17:55
Speaker 1: forty one receptions, ninety four yards. He's the closest thing
17:59
Speaker 1: to m oh the Patriots. Why Wesker, Yes, he's the
18:04
Speaker 1: closest thing to West Walk Rove scene now Wells Welker
18:07
Speaker 1: another level, probably Hall of fame. I can get it,
18:09
Speaker 1: but I look at his route running and Beasley can
18:12
Speaker 1: get it done. Yeah. No, And he's gonna hurt you
18:14
Speaker 1: in the slot. And that's the thing. And I think,
18:16
Speaker 1: depending on what the Seahawks secondary looks like coming into
18:18
Speaker 1: this week, DJ Reid made his debut last week against
18:21
Speaker 1: his old team forty nine Ers Scott an interception on
18:23
Speaker 1: his first series with them, but he's gonna need to
18:26
Speaker 1: come with it this week. Too, because Beasley is gonna
18:28
Speaker 1: get loose in the slot and it's definitely gonna be
18:31
Speaker 1: one of the tough challenges. And we'll see how the
18:32
Speaker 1: Seahawks secondary improves, because we saw what Julian Edelman did
18:37
Speaker 1: to us early in the year when he was getting
18:39
Speaker 1: busy in the slot. So hopefully they can improve on
18:40
Speaker 1: that one. And then coming up next, it's the running backs.
18:43
Speaker 1: Running backs against the Seahawks front seven. Now, you mentioned
18:46
Speaker 1: it earlier. You think this is the formula for the
18:49
Speaker 1: Bills to be a good football team and win football
18:51
Speaker 1: games down the stretch. Now, they got two running backs,
18:53
Speaker 1: Devin Singletary and Zach Moss, the kid out of Utah.
18:56
Speaker 1: They had it going against the Patriots. Singletary rest for
19:00
Speaker 1: teen carries eighty six yards. Zach Moss had fourteen carries
19:03
Speaker 1: eighty one yards, two touchdowns. You had a little rushing
19:06
Speaker 1: from Josh Allen one hundred nine yards three touchdowns against
19:09
Speaker 1: New England season high. Now, this isn't something they've done
19:13
Speaker 1: all year. We mentioned they've been throwing the pill a ton,
19:16
Speaker 1: so they're not a run first team by any means.
19:17
Speaker 1: They're ranking nineteen through with one hundred and eight yards
19:20
Speaker 1: per game. But like you mentioned it, they can do
19:23
Speaker 1: some things. Watching film, they don't jump off at you,
19:26
Speaker 1: but the things that they do it's good. So they
19:28
Speaker 1: have I think I'm looking blank on his name. They're
19:30
Speaker 1: tight end Kyle Croft. I believe it's his name, number
19:33
Speaker 1: eighty one. They'll put him in the backfield and they'll
19:36
Speaker 1: motion him almost every play, and he's essentially a fullback.
19:39
Speaker 1: He's essentially a fullback. Will do a little bit of
19:41
Speaker 1: the receiving game, but they'll be lead blocking a lot
19:42
Speaker 1: of plays. So for me, they just seem to contain it.
19:46
Speaker 1: They don't do anything special, but if you're not disciplined,
19:48
Speaker 1: not in the right spot, and you're undercutting blocks and
19:51
Speaker 1: stuff like that, they can have a big day, especially
19:52
Speaker 1: now knowing what they kind of figured it out against
19:55
Speaker 1: New England. Will be interesting to see what they tried
19:56
Speaker 1: to do against the Seahawks defense. I wonder if they
19:59
Speaker 1: get Josh Allen Moore involved in the run guy. I
20:00
Speaker 1: believe he had fifteen carries last game. A few of
20:03
Speaker 1: them were scrambles. But if I'm the Bills, I'm using them.
20:07
Speaker 1: I'm using him kind of like how New England tried
20:09
Speaker 1: to use Cam Newton earlier in the year against the Seahawks.
20:12
Speaker 1: Let him read that defensive end. Let him make plays.
20:15
Speaker 1: If he's smart and knows how to get down, I
20:17
Speaker 1: think you use him. Now Seattle has a ninth is
20:19
Speaker 1: ninth in the NFL when it comes to rush defense.
20:21
Speaker 1: They just got to keep that going. Next matchup, Russell
20:25
Speaker 1: Wilson verse the Bills defense. Now, in twenty nineteen, what
20:29
Speaker 1: were you talking about the Bills all their defenses fired.
20:31
Speaker 1: Their defense is that they were allowing two hundred ninety
20:33
Speaker 1: eight yards per game. Now this year they took a
20:35
Speaker 1: step back, but averaging they're giving up three hundred and
20:38
Speaker 1: fifty eight yards per game. Perfect for the Seahawks. Hawks
20:42
Speaker 1: are gonna put up Dan near what Well, last week
20:44
Speaker 1: was a down week. I guess the offense looked a
20:46
Speaker 1: little different around three hundred yards, but typically over four
20:50
Speaker 1: hundred yards every week. I look at the defense and
20:54
Speaker 1: I try to see it's just a defense that's gonna
20:56
Speaker 1: slow Russell Whistle down. You can say last week the
20:59
Speaker 1: forty nine slowed Russell Wilson down as far as yards.
21:02
Speaker 1: Dude still through for four touchdowns. He's still gonna get it.
21:04
Speaker 1: It's gonna look different. If he's not gonna rack up
21:07
Speaker 1: the yards, he's gonna be a fish him. And I
21:09
Speaker 1: think that he can do this against this football team.
21:11
Speaker 1: They have m Edmonds, a linebacker who's not really great
21:15
Speaker 1: in the pass game. He's more of a run game guy.
21:17
Speaker 1: And they have very Tredavious White, excuse me messing him
21:22
Speaker 1: his name, who is a baller? Now, this kid he
21:24
Speaker 1: breaks on the football. He's very confident. When he's in
21:26
Speaker 1: that twenty seventeen draft class with they had a bunch
21:28
Speaker 1: of corners. He's starting to come into his zone. But
21:30
Speaker 1: I still look at this defense and I say, russ
21:33
Speaker 1: has keep doing your thing. Yeah, And the thing about
21:35
Speaker 1: it you look at is what do they do? You
21:36
Speaker 1: mention it? What do they do defensively? I think to
21:39
Speaker 1: even have a shot you have to try to confuse Russell.
21:42
Speaker 1: I don't know what I've seen on film if they
21:44
Speaker 1: do enough in terms of moving guys around pre snap
21:47
Speaker 1: and mixing up their blitz and stuff like that. Obviously,
21:50
Speaker 1: Leslie Frasier, the defense coordinator for the Bills, is going
21:52
Speaker 1: to have stuff in his bag of tricks. Going up
21:55
Speaker 1: against Russell Wilsons will be interesting to see. But I
21:58
Speaker 1: mean Russ gonna be Russ Man. I mean, he's got
22:01
Speaker 1: twenty six touchdowns on the year, just six interceptions, needs
22:04
Speaker 1: four touchdown passes to tie Tom Brady for the most
22:06
Speaker 1: passing touchdown through eight games in NFL history this weekend.
22:09
Speaker 1: As we know, four touchdown has kind of been Russell's
22:11
Speaker 1: sweet spot this year, and also the win on Sunday,
22:14
Speaker 1: Russell will break a tie with Peyton Manning to become
22:16
Speaker 1: the NFL's all time winning his quarterback in the players
22:19
Speaker 1: first nine season at ninety three and obviously there's a
22:22
Speaker 1: lot of seasons to go, so that record is going
22:24
Speaker 1: to be shattered by Russ. Russ is going to do
22:26
Speaker 1: his thing. All the Bills can hope to do is
22:30
Speaker 1: somewhat contain him. A good day for the Bills would
22:32
Speaker 1: be him throwing two hundred fifty yards and maybe two touchdowns. Yeah,
22:36
Speaker 1: I mean, that's all That's all you can do is
22:38
Speaker 1: try to contain. Now, bump wide receivers. You mentioned Tredavious White,
22:43
Speaker 1: Tyer Lockett, Deacon mecaff against him, and whoever's playing another
22:46
Speaker 1: corner spot. Josh Norman has been in there, but he's
22:47
Speaker 1: been banged up with a hamstring. They got a couple
22:49
Speaker 1: other dbs in there now. Tredavious White is without question
22:52
Speaker 1: their best defensive back twenty nineteen. He was a Pro
22:55
Speaker 1: Bowl First team All Pro, fifty eight tackles, six picks
22:58
Speaker 1: in twenty nineteen. So the man can play. He's aggressive,
23:01
Speaker 1: like you mention'll come downhill. But boy, he's going up
23:05
Speaker 1: against a different beast this week now. And I'll say it.
23:08
Speaker 1: I've been saying DK Metcalf superstar, and I've been saying
23:11
Speaker 1: we've been saying, this is the best tandem in the NFL. Bump.
23:14
Speaker 1: What if you're if you're a coaching defense, what do
23:17
Speaker 1: you do against these guys? What do you do? You
23:20
Speaker 1: pick one guy to try to take away, but you're
23:21
Speaker 1: just putting pressure on the defense with the other cat.
23:24
Speaker 1: You know, last week DK did a scene. The week
23:26
Speaker 1: before Lockett did the scene, these two combined have eighty
23:30
Speaker 1: five receptions, twelve hundred and twenty five yards and fourteen touchdowns.
23:33
Speaker 1: They are the two leading receivers in the NFL. When
23:35
Speaker 1: it comes to touchdowns, both of them have seven. And
23:38
Speaker 1: it's what I like about these two is they're not
23:40
Speaker 1: hating on each other. No, DK Metcalf said in the
23:43
Speaker 1: middle of the game, Tyler Lockey goes over to him
23:44
Speaker 1: and says, we're the best duo in the league. While
23:47
Speaker 1: DK's eating and Tyler's just chilling. Tyler got the game
23:50
Speaker 1: going up, have four receptions I think thirty three yards.
23:52
Speaker 1: But they understand that a week by week they're just
23:56
Speaker 1: gonna take turns. I'm still now it's been a couple
23:59
Speaker 1: of weeks, but this maybe the week We're both of
24:00
Speaker 1: them do their thing, you know. But this receiver combo.
24:04
Speaker 1: You have the big, fast, prototypical outside receiver and then
24:08
Speaker 1: you have your slat guy who can do it all,
24:09
Speaker 1: who also plays on the outside and can cash the
24:12
Speaker 1: deep football. It's tough. I feel bad for anybody. Actually
24:15
Speaker 1: I don't feel bad. Yeah, I mean, you get what
24:18
Speaker 1: you get. But I'm with you. This is the best
24:21
Speaker 1: duo in football right now. Coming into the season, everyone
24:23
Speaker 1: saying Mike Evelyn's Gwin, Amari Cooper Gallup. No one was
24:27
Speaker 1: really mentioning these guys. These guys are forced to be
24:30
Speaker 1: record with, show some respect. Now, how are they gonna
24:32
Speaker 1: get this? W here's the path to victory. At the
24:37
Speaker 1: forty five waits for the staff, Michael Vickson puts it down,
24:41
Speaker 1: that kick is away. If that kick is gon, it's gun.
24:46
Speaker 1: It's a pass to victory on Hawk Talk hash to victory.
24:51
Speaker 1: How are the Seahawks gonna get this done? Well, I'll
24:53
Speaker 1: tell you how they get it done. Continue dominating ten
24:56
Speaker 1: am kickoffs. Man, the Seahawks. At one point, we've beating
24:59
Speaker 1: the into the ground. They couldn't do a damn thing
25:02
Speaker 1: at ten am on the road. You might as well
25:03
Speaker 1: have chalk that up as a lot was a part
25:05
Speaker 1: of that. Oh my bad, my bad. Sore wounds there,
25:09
Speaker 1: My bad, my bad. But no, the Seahawks won ten
25:12
Speaker 1: straight ten am kickoffs dating back twenty eighteen. They're eighteen
25:15
Speaker 1: and six in the last twenty four So they found
25:17
Speaker 1: a way. They traveled to two day trip, they'll travel
25:19
Speaker 1: on Friday. They figured out a way even through COVID
25:21
Speaker 1: to kind of keep this going. So just keep that rolling,
25:23
Speaker 1: keep dominate that time slot, and they have to build
25:27
Speaker 1: off what the defense did last week. It was beautiful
25:29
Speaker 1: watching the stunts on the d line, seeing Bobby Wagner
25:31
Speaker 1: get after the quarterback. With Jamal Adams hopefully being back
25:37
Speaker 1: this week, I think they can continue to be aggressive
25:40
Speaker 1: and be creative. That is who they have to be.
25:43
Speaker 1: I think the days of sitting back and letting guys
25:45
Speaker 1: pick them apart are over. Be aggressive. Now you might
25:48
Speaker 1: give up a couple of big plays being aggressive, but
25:50
Speaker 1: guests web you get the ball. The ball back to
25:52
Speaker 1: number three. He has some big plays in him as well.
25:55
Speaker 1: Keep that defense aggressive. Got to Bobby Wagner is the
25:57
Speaker 1: best blitzing linebacker in the national football weak. I think
26:00
Speaker 1: what we saw it's finning like he got unleashed right,
26:03
Speaker 1: and we want to keep seeing that. If Jamal is
26:04
Speaker 1: back there, keep him guessing. Gotta love it now. Josh
26:08
Speaker 1: allen Man, we talked about him. He's a key to
26:09
Speaker 1: what they do. He can't be comfortable. Man, He's gonna
26:11
Speaker 1: hurt you with the legs in his arms, and like
26:14
Speaker 1: we mentioned, goes hand in hand. You gotta keep the
26:15
Speaker 1: pressure on. You have to, and when you do pressure him,
26:18
Speaker 1: you have to be disciplined in how you do it. Now,
26:21
Speaker 1: you have to be disciplined in your angles, attacking the
26:23
Speaker 1: right hip, keeping him in the pocket because once he
26:25
Speaker 1: gets out of the pocket, he can be dangerous. And
26:27
Speaker 1: now the gout to contain Diggs and Beasley. Digs is
26:30
Speaker 1: your deep ball threat Beasley will work across the middle.
26:33
Speaker 1: He's gonna test DJ read DJ read, first start, first
26:37
Speaker 1: time being active for the Seahawks. He has to pick
26:39
Speaker 1: Canny repeat that a performers do not need a pick.
26:41
Speaker 1: But Kenny just be in the right place at the
26:43
Speaker 1: right time. Now, hopefully we'll have Shaquille Griffin. I don't
26:48
Speaker 1: know yet. Hopefully Jamal Adams will return. I don't know yet.
26:51
Speaker 1: But the way this defense played last week encourages me.
26:55
Speaker 1: It keeps me optimistic. Gotta control Diggs and Beasley though,
26:59
Speaker 1: for sure, and we talked about it. Man, I'm not
27:01
Speaker 1: gonna use the terminology that other people use, but this
27:05
Speaker 1: Let rest be great, keep Latin rest be great. He
27:08
Speaker 1: proves every single week while he's the best quarterback in
27:11
Speaker 1: National Football League. Don't take the ball of his hands.
27:13
Speaker 1: Keep let him do his thing and do his thing. Turnovers, turnovers, tarnovers,
27:18
Speaker 1: turn the ball over defense. If there's one thing you're
27:20
Speaker 1: gonna do, you're gonna be decent against the run. You're
27:22
Speaker 1: gonna turn the ball over. Keep doing that, be aggressed
27:25
Speaker 1: to prove it. You gotta prove it this this week. Defense.
27:28
Speaker 1: You did it one week, Let's do it again. Let's go.
27:30
Speaker 1: Gotta let him prove it. Come on, de we need you,
