  Speaker 1: right now because greatness come on man 12 in a
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: row yeah There's, I think, the Colts watching their game.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: I think they lost nine consecutive going back to last season. So, just, like,
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: to be in that place, I feel.
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: For them, man. But not too much. I don't.
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: Couldn't relate.
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: Couldn't relate, Colts. Wouldn't be me. All right, let's get
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: right into this game, what had happened. See, what had
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: happened was. What had happened at first was. What had
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: happened was. On Hawk Talk.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: Cardinals got the ball. First, going eight yards, three plays,
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: punting that thing away. Seahawks get the ball, two plays in,
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: bump Drew Locke, finding Jackson Smith and Jigba for an
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: 82-yard touchdown, the longest play of his career. Nasty double move.
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: We'll break that down a little bit later, but that
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: made the score 7-0, and really good start for the Seahawks.
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah, great start for the Seahawks.
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: And then the next few drives with in and punts
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: before the Cardinals got their only productive drive of the game.
• 2:04
  Speaker 4: They go 12 plays, 61 yards with a two-yard touchdown
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: as Jacoby Brissett found Trey McBride. That tied the score
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: at 7-1. disaster would strike for the Seahawks on the
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: next drive as Jadarian Price was stripped fighting for more yards.
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: Can't blame the kid for fighting for more yards.
• 2:19
  Speaker 4: Luckily, the Seahawks' defense stepped up and stopped the Cardinals
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: on the following drive, so didn't get any points off
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: of that.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: No, and what I love about Price, though, yeah, he
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: fumbled that, but on that next drive, he was running angry,
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: absolutely embarrassed the safety for the Cardinals, so he got
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: that fixed quickly.
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: Sat him down.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: Yes, he did.
• 2:36
  Speaker 5: Whew.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: The next two drives would end in punts, and the
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: Seahawks would put a small drive together, get into the Cardinals'
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: one-yard line. Unfortunately, Manuel Wilson got stopped on fourth and goal.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: They'd walk away with no points there. The next two
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: drives would also result in no points, and the teams
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: would head into the locker room tied at seven. But
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: the second half was all Seahawks.
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: All Seahawks, man. They got things going.
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: The first drive, going 37 yards on just four plays,
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: and Drew Locke connected with Jason for his second touchdown
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: of the night. That made the score 14-7. The next possession,
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: Jay Love picked off Jacoby Brissett, which set up a
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: Jason Myers field goal.
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: Three games in a row if you go back to
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: the Super Bowl. J-Lo has an interception.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: We'll talk about him in Playmakers, but he's easily one
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: of the most underrated players in the National Football League.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: Maybe because he's nice, unless you're talking Puginacool, but everyone
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: else thinks he's a nice dude because he is, but
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: he is playing at an incredibly high level right now, Bo.
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: The Hawks will get another stop, and the offense will
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: put together another really solid drive. Tim plays 80 yards
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: in it with a touchdown pass to who? jsn down
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: the red zone looking good man both of those touchdowns
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: minus 82 yarder right the other two all in man
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: are you gonna man them up down there good luck
• 3:43
  Speaker 4: to you and uh drew locked his flicking his wrist
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: and find a number 11 easy money.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah i mean carters go out next possession they go
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: through and out games over nail in the coffin but
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: what anyone who loves you know big ray roberts guys
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: like that will love this the way the seahawks finished
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: that game oh yeah 16 plays 70 yards, bump, they
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: ran the ball 15 of those times.
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: 15 times.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: I mean, you want to talk about demoralizing against your will,
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: moving people, finishing it with a barnyard, and that's how
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: you do it. The Seahawks, how Mike McDonald and this
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: team want to play football is on full display in
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: that second half. The Seahawks are playing historically good football.
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: How good? Let's talk about Sunday.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: Two sacks, seven QB hits, five TFLs, one interception, four
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: passes defended, allowed just 151 yards. But, Bump, this is
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: the one that I still can't get my brain around. Cardinals,
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: one explosive play. Okay, that was Bam Knight, 18-yard run
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: on the second-to-last play of the game. Through two games
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: this season, the Seahawks have not allowed a play over
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: 20 yards.
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: That's insane. Crazy.
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: Crazy dominance, man. And I wish they didn't get that
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: little 18-yarder, but it is what it is. But this
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: defense has been on point. Sunday was the first time
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: the Cardinals did not complete a pass over 10 yards
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: since October 11, 1987. You weren't born. I was barely walking.
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: That's how long that was, man. And that's dominance. And
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: you're coming off a week where Jacoby Brissett looked good.
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: He's completing the underneath stuff and getting that yak and
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: all that stuff. But, no, man, this defense really sets
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: the tone. There was a play where I think Spoon
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: made the tackle, but as soon as he got there,
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: D-Law was there. And I think J-Love was there. You
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: get the football, they are on your you-know-what.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: If you don't let a team in the National Football
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: League complete a pass for over 10 yards, two things
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: are true, right? You're rock solid behind in the secondary,
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: in coverage. You're not letting anyone get behind you. And
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: then on top of that, you are getting to the football.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: That means no one's breaking a tackle for 10 or 15.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: You're playing good football, getting north-south, and it's unreal, man.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: And on top of that, let's talk a little next-gen
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: stats here. The Seahawks' defense now ranks against downfield throws.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: They're only allowing 25% completion rate. That's first in the NFL.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: 22 passing yards per game downfield. That's first in the NFL.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: 3.7 yards per attempt downfield. First in the NFL. Zero
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: touchdowns allowed. First in the NFL. Four interceptions on downfield throws.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: First in the NFL. 2.8 passer rating. First in the NFL.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: They're shutting it down. And the crazy thing about all
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: that is you're missing a starter. You're still missing Ty Okada.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: You're still not fully, you know, at full strength but
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: rodney thomas balling out i mean the entire secondary um
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: they're playing well everyone's playing well everyone on this team
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: wearing a seahawks uniform is playing well bump coming out
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: of the game what did you learn the most out
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: of sunday.
• 6:25
  Speaker 4: I learned that our offensive coordinator is learning to make
• 6:29
  Speaker 4: adjustments seven to seven and a half then you come
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: out and it is on he's figuring out who his
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: personnel is how how he can use other guys jason 155, he.
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: Should get the love. I get that.
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: Rasheed Shaheed still had a catch of 22 yards. Arroyo
• 6:42
  Speaker 4: had a catch of 18 yards. Cooper Cupp had a
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: catch of 16 yards. So, yes, Jason led the charge.
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: He should. He's the number one guy. He should do
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: it every single week.
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: But he still found a way to sprinkle in those
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: other guys. And then Emmanuel Wilson with 90-plus yards. It
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: was a balanced attack. Still waiting for the tight ends
• 6:57
  Speaker 4: to get involved a bit more. Barner did have the barnyard. But, no,
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: the OC is starting to figure out who's who and
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: how to use them.
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and I think, for me, it's just, Continuing, Coach
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: McDonald consistently talks about stacking plays, one play after another.
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: It felt like, I think because we're used to this
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: team being so dominant, early in that game, we're like, oh, man,
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: we're in for a dogfight.
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: These Cardinals are moving the ball. They're doing this. And
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: then you look at the stats, and you go, man,
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: I thought Trey McBride was going off.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: And then you look back, and you go, yeah, he
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: had eight receptions, but for like 40 yards.
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: You know what I mean?
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: So it's just like, again, they're just consistent at each level.
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: The defense doesn't matter who it is, Drake Thomas. insert
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: whoever they're making plays for this defense. So I love
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: what we're seeing there. Speaking of this defense and this team,
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: everyone making plays all over time to get into playmakers.
• 7:44
  Speaker 5: Touchdown!
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: Seahawks!
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: Playmakers. Show them what time it is!
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: Holy catfish!
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: Starting with our guy, quarterback number two on your programs,
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: number one in your hearts this week, Drew Locke, 19-26, 235.
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: Three touchdowns, zero interceptions. Sacked just the one time. QB
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: rating of 139.1. Might have been a perfect rating if
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: it wasn't for a couple drops. Clutch throws in the
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: second half.
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: How crazy was that?
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: It would have fooled me. I just don't believe it. But,
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: I mean, literally, he's just a gamer.
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: We understand why he's on this team, of course, because
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: Drew Lockett has starting quarterback skills, right? That's why he
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: was known as the best backup in the league. We're
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: seeing a lot of other backups playing right now, Bump,
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: and they don't look like Drew Lockett.
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: Ask people in Atlanta. Ask people.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: I'm telling you, they don't look like Drew. Drew is
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: the man for a reason. I love his confidence. We're
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: going to talk about this when we break down some
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: of these plays, but he's not playing in a game
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: manager way. He's playing in a game manager way when
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: it comes to taking care of the football, but he's
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: making throws that if he's not on point, those balls
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: are getting batted down or intercepted. He's playing with confidence,
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: and I love what we're seeing.
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: Now, Drew Locke, smooth and calm back there.
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: There are times where there's one, I think it was
• 9:01
  Speaker 4: JSN's second touchdown, Second or third.
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: They send a lot of pressure on the left side.
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: You're outnumbered.
• 9:08
  Speaker 4: You don't have enough to block everybody. He knows I'm
• 9:10
  Speaker 4: responsible for one of these guys. I'm going to get
• 9:12
  Speaker 4: hit or I have to stand there to throw the football.
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: Backpedal a little bit. Flick the wrist. Cool his head
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: and lets the ball go. I just love his poise, man.
• 9:20
  Speaker 4: He looks really good.
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: We got Jackson Smith and Jigba. Nine catches.
• 9:24
  Speaker 4: 155 yards on 11 targets. Three touchdowns with that 155.
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: He is now third in franchise history for most receiving
• 9:33
  Speaker 4: yards in a player's first four seasons. He set his
• 9:36
  Speaker 4: career high with three receiving touchdowns and became the first
• 9:39
  Speaker 4: Seahawks player with three since DK Metcalf in 2023. Fourth
• 9:43
  Speaker 4: time Jason has had multiple touchdowns in one game. Jason
• 9:48
  Speaker 4: is the second player in NFL history to record each
• 9:51
  Speaker 4: of his team's first four touchdowns of the season. Jason
• 9:54
  Speaker 4: is now the fifth wide receiver ever.
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: I mean, come on. come on.
• 9:58
  Speaker 4: He's the fifth wide receiver ever with at least eight catches,
• 10:01
  Speaker 4: 120 receiving yards, and a touchdown reception in each of
• 10:04
  Speaker 4: his team's first two games, joining Diggs, of course, at Buffalo,
• 10:07
  Speaker 4: Antonio Brown with Pittsburgh. You got Charlie Hennigan in 1962
• 10:13
  Speaker 4: with the Oilers, and Andre Risen, TLC, in 1994 with Atlanta.
• 10:19
  Speaker 4: Through two weeks, he leads the NFL in yards and touchdowns.
• 10:23
  Speaker 4: He's third in reception.
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: I mean.
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: I mean, my guys just.
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: You can keep going. There's more stuff out there. That's
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: just like a quick little search on the Internet. You'll
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: find all those numbers on Jason.
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: He is. A little teaser.
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: This is I'm thinking about this bump when we if
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: you guys for those of you subscribe to Hawks live,
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: listen to that.
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: We're gonna have a great guest this week. Every Thursday,
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: the Bellevue Square.
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: But.
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: We always do talk that talk, right? Where we debate,
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: you know, you guys, you and Paul go back and forth.
• 10:49
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: The question of where JSN is going to be in
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: the history of this franchise. Steve Largen is the goat.
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: We know that. Are you kidding me? Hall of Famer.
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: One best to ever do it in the history of
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: the NFL. JSN is on a trajectory that is unbelievable.
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: And he does it. It just, it all looks different.
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: Every great receiver in this building has looked a little
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: bit different, but he is, again, it's early on, but
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: I'm telling you, he, is playing at.
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: A gold jacket level.
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: And if we just take a snapshot of two games
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: this year, count the playoffs, 22 games, we're looking at
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: the best receiver to put on a Seahawks uniform if
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: I'm only looking at 20 games.
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: I'm just saying.
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: Hey, all facts. No gas, all facts, man.
• 11:35
  Speaker 4: And what's cool about the receiver situation here, Largent, the GOAT,
• 11:41
  Speaker 4: JSN on his way.
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: Both guys are under six foot. Get her done. My
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: under six footers.
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: Hey, come on. I see you, bub.
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: I see you, bub. All right, next up, we got
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: Emmanuel Wilson and Jadarian Price.
• 11:53
  Speaker 4: Wilson led all ball carries with 91 yards on 21 carries.
• 11:57
  Speaker 4: He did most of his damage in the second half.
• 11:58
  Speaker 4: Price and Halani were both dealing with separate injuries. So
• 12:01
  Speaker 4: it was a nice welcome to Seattle. Price had a
• 12:04
  Speaker 4: decent day. Yeah, 53 yards and 13 carries. He lost
• 12:07
  Speaker 4: a fumble, but he was running hard, man. He ran
• 12:09
  Speaker 4: all over the Cardinal safety, ran him over, lowered that shoulder,
• 12:12
  Speaker 4: set him down, The messed up part about that play,
• 12:14
  Speaker 4: they kept showing in the slow motion.
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: Oh, man.
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: Like, good for us, but a boy got sat down.
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: Fox was on it. They had every angle of that thing.
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: The Hawks had 162 rushing yards on 40 carries. Productive
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: day on the ground. Yeah.
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: I mean, that's exactly what you want to see. Coach
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: John Benton off the line. Coach getting the game ball
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: at the end of the game. But it's really cool
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: to see that unit, that offensive line is so together.
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: And I'm excited for Emmanuel.
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: Because he done stuff in this league. People forget that
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: coming in here. He has had some success already. Now
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: you couple that with Price being here and then Charbonnet
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: is going to come back. I'm really excited for this
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: run game and especially this run game where it looks
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: today versus where it looked two or three weeks into
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: last season. Seahawks won a Super Bowl last season, so
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: they obviously got it figured out. Really got their stride
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: at the end of last season. If they look this
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: good in week two, you know, good things can happen
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: for the Seahawks team.
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: So I'm excited about that.
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: Flipping it over defense, Julian Love, man. Three tackles, two
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: pass defender, one interception. He's just a general back there, man.
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: I mentioned he's the most underrated person in the league.
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: I think Richard Sherman's been on record talking about how
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: good he is. Mike McDonald, everyone. And he's just consistent, man.
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: Last year was the first year he'd ever really been
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: hurt ever in his career, really in his life. When
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: he talks about he's just so Mr. Consistent and is
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: always there showing up. So love what we saw from him.
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: And we're continuing to see it from him. And he's
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: playing at an all-pro level and really anchoring things in
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: a group where people are really concerned because Nicky Minoru
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: is just coming back. You're missing Ty Okada. Like, what's
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: going to happen at the third corner spot? All we've
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: done is seen the defensive backs really solidify what's.
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: Going on in the back end. Yeah, J-Love just everywhere, man.
• 13:45
  Speaker 4: He's got true range when he talks about freelancing back there.
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: So keep up the good work, J-Love.
• 13:51
  Speaker 4: Also, we got Leonard Williams, six tackles, two TFLs, one sack,
• 13:54
  Speaker 4: one quarterback hit. Expect nothing less from the All-Pro.
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no, he's going to be hopefully all those dudes
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: in the All-Pro again. And we'll finish it off with
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: Devin Witherspoon, eight tackles, one tackle for loss. He's a
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: dude when any time he, I think you said it,
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: during the pregame show this past weekend, he's the best
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: blitzing guy in the secondary in the NFL. And when
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: he decides to pull the trigger, it is right now.
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: And he doesn't miss tackles, though. It's easy to blitz
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: and run and just be like, okay, well, I can
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: get him to where my other guys are. You're going
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: to miss a tackle here and there.
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: No.
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: Devin Witherspoon does not miss tackles.
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: If he blitzes and he's getting you, that's it. You're down.
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: You're done. So good to see that there.
• 14:34
  Speaker 5: Bump.
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: We can quickly go through this.
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: Wide receiver roundup looked a lot to what it looked
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: like last week.
• 14:39
  Speaker 4: A little bit of the same. You got Jason with
• 14:42
  Speaker 4: a buck 55 and three touchdowns. Rashid Shaheed at three receptions,
• 14:45
  Speaker 4: 35 cup at two for 20. Elijah Royal had one
• 14:48
  Speaker 4: for 17. Barnett had one for eight. Price had one
• 14:50
  Speaker 4: for eight. Helani had one for two. Collectively, 235 through
• 14:54
  Speaker 4: the air along of 82. That's that long touchdown from Jason. Listen,
• 14:59
  Speaker 4: he should get 11 targets again until someone figures out
• 15:02
  Speaker 4: how to slow this man down. I expect these type
• 15:05
  Speaker 4: of numbers every week now, which isn't fair, but it
• 15:07
  Speaker 4: is at the same time because he's done nothing but
• 15:09
  Speaker 4: show us that he's capable of doing it.
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and if it continues to work, I'm throwing a
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: number 11, which is a great transition and segue here
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: as we get to the place of the game.
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: Started off early.
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: Drew Locke hooking up with Jackson Smith and Jigba for
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: an 82-yard touchdown.
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: Inside of JSN, Locke out of the shotgun. Drops back
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: to pass.
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: Looks has all day. Going to throw down the field.
• 15:30
  Speaker 5: He's got him at GSM.
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: Wide open. 45, 40, 30, 20. Chasing him.
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: Can't catch him.
• 15:37
  Speaker 5: Into the end zone.
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: Touchdown Seahawks.
• 15:42
  Speaker 5: Holy catfish. Jackson, Smith, and Jimba just ran right past.
• 15:49
  Speaker 5: Right past the defense of Arizona. I don't know what
• 15:53
  Speaker 5: they were thinking, but he goes 82 yards for a touchdown.
• 15:58
  Speaker 5: Down the right sideline. I think Drew looked up and said, oh,
• 16:02
  Speaker 5: my word. This guy's wide open. All he has to
• 16:05
  Speaker 5: do is get it to him. And he does.
• 16:08
  Speaker 4: Yeah, this right here is in a two by two formation. Essentially,
• 16:11
  Speaker 4: you got a Royal and Jason to the right of
• 16:14
  Speaker 4: Drew Locke. You got who's our time? Is that A.J.
• 16:17
  Speaker 5: Barnum?
• 16:19
  Speaker 4: And Rasheed Shaheed at the top, right? This is a cover, too.
• 16:24
  Speaker 4: I tried to figure out, I went back and I
• 16:26
  Speaker 4: looked at all the past plays from last week against
• 16:30
  Speaker 4: New England. I told myself, is there something on film
• 16:33
  Speaker 4: that made Buda Baker want to jump this? Did we
• 16:35
  Speaker 4: run a concept similar to this that made Buda Baker
• 16:38
  Speaker 4: want to jump it?
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: I saw none. Did I miss it?
• 16:41
  Speaker 5: Maybe.
• 16:42
  Speaker 4: But I saw no double outs like we're seeing, essentially,
• 16:45
  Speaker 4: between Arroyo and Jason. to make him want to jump this.
• 16:49
  Speaker 4: So what happens is you got Arroyo who's in a slot.
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: He runs an out.
• 16:52
  Speaker 4: You got JSM who runs a double move. I think
• 16:55
  Speaker 4: that if that corner was off a bit more, he
• 16:57
  Speaker 4: probably would have sold the out a bit more, but
• 16:59
  Speaker 4: because he jumped up and got outside of him, he
• 17:00
  Speaker 4: kind of one-stepped the out and then got skinny. Buda Baker,
• 17:05
  Speaker 4: who's supposed to have deep halves, I'm convinced, he's supposed
• 17:08
  Speaker 4: to have deep halves, just bites on him. I don't
• 17:10
  Speaker 4: know if he's looking at Arroyo or he's looking at JSM.
• 17:12
  Speaker 4: Either way, the action of those two makes Buda Baker
• 17:16
  Speaker 4: bite down So all Jason has to do is turn
• 17:19
  Speaker 4: the shoulders, get a field, Drew Locke, double pad it,
• 17:21
  Speaker 4: throw it up there, 82-yard touchdown, strike up the bend.
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm with you too, Bump, especially Buda Baker, such
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: a good player.
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: We know, obviously, Bellevue High School, University of Washington, got
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: a lot of love for Buda Baker from being out here.
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: But, yeah, I don't understand it either.
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: Looks like he's in cover two there, especially judging by
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: how everyone else is playing, what it looks like on
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: the other side of the field. The only thing that
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: I can think of, what I saw, is I feel
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: like he was reading Drew Locke. And Drew does enough
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: subtleness to kind of Not a bit.
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: He doesn't pump fake. He doesn't rip the arm out.
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: Give him a little something, though.
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: But he gives him a little bit looking at Arroyo,
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: and he just, second play of the game was just bizarre.
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: Maybe he thought Drew Locke, you know, first game in,
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: they're trying to get the ball out quick or something.
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: I'm not exactly sure. But he jumps it, and then
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: it's called, you know, the O read when you realize
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: you take a step and you go, oh, no.
• 18:07
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: This is coming to me, and it's over my head.
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: But, yeah, it's a great, great head pick by JSN,
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: but it's all in, you know, it looks like just
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: a big bust in the secondary.
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: Doesn't matter because he made the play and then outran
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: him to the end zone, Jason, doing what Jason does. And, again,
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: other things too, Bump, I've heard you talk about this.
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: Sometimes those are the hardest plays to make when it's
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: that wide open.
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: Wide open.
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: You know, Drew Locke could have easily overthrown him. Jason
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: easily could have hit his shoulder pads.
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah. But he made the play.
• 18:34
  Speaker 4: It wasn't the cleanest catch, but he made it happen.
• 18:36
  Speaker 4: He hit his face mask or pads a little bit, but,
• 18:39
  Speaker 4: you know, he's all right.
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: He's good to go.
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: That's Jason.
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: Best in the game.
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: And we're going to stick with the best in the
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: game because I thought it would be fair with this day.
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: career high in touchdowns, three touchdowns. We're going to look
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: at his third and final touchdown of the day as
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: he hooked up with Drew Locke for a 12-yard touchdown.
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: Locke.
• 18:54
  Speaker 5: From the shotgun, four-man rush. Looks, throws to the back
• 18:58
  Speaker 5: of the end zone.
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: It's caught.
• 19:00
  Speaker 5: Touchdown, Seahawks. Guess who? I'll give you a hint. It
• 19:06
  Speaker 5: starts with JSN from 12 yards and an absolute laser
• 19:13
  Speaker 5: to Jax in the back of the end zone. His
• 19:16
  Speaker 5: third touchdown of the game.
• 19:19
  Speaker 4: So you got an empty formation, three receivers to the right.
• 19:23
  Speaker 4: You got Jason as the number three receiver closest to
• 19:26
  Speaker 4: the right tackle over there. Two receivers down to the bottom.
• 19:29
  Speaker 4: This is man right here. They're going to send four.
• 19:31
  Speaker 4: They're going to drop seven.
• 19:32
  Speaker 3: All right. So you got five guys covering five. You
• 19:35
  Speaker 3: got two.
• 19:35
  Speaker 4: We get to float a little bit in the middle
• 19:36
  Speaker 4: of the field. So essentially, Jason is one on one
• 19:39
  Speaker 4: with Buda Baker. Buda's playing the safety spot about eight
• 19:42
  Speaker 4: yards off of him.
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: Already dangerous.
• 19:44
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 19:44
  Speaker 4: But that's why you put him in the slot right there,
• 19:45
  Speaker 4: because you're not going to tell your safety to walk
• 19:48
  Speaker 4: down and be tight because in that back. in that corner,
• 19:50
  Speaker 4: things get mixed up, you guys run into each other,
• 19:52
  Speaker 4: not going to do it. So he's got to play
• 19:53
  Speaker 4: him from depth. Jason knows he's going to attack the
• 19:56
  Speaker 4: middle of the field. So he gets vertical about four yards,
• 19:59
  Speaker 4: and what does he start to do? He starts to
• 20:01
  Speaker 4: lean Buda Baker to the outside, right? Jason's right shoulder,
• 20:04
  Speaker 4: Buda Baker's left shoulder. Once he gets that one step
• 20:07
  Speaker 4: to the outside, now he snaps it vertical, running like
• 20:10
  Speaker 4: a post or a bang, whatever you want to call it.
• 20:11
  Speaker 4: Gets Buda Baker to his back, and Drew Locke just
• 20:14
  Speaker 4: stands in there and delivers. And the pocket is collapsing
• 20:16
  Speaker 4: around Drew Locke. He can't really step into his throw
• 20:19
  Speaker 4: a bit like he wants to, but he does exactly that. One-on-one,
• 20:24
  Speaker 4: good versus good. Jason moves him, snaps it off. Drew
• 20:28
  Speaker 4: Locke with a great throw.
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: I mean, again, Jason is an amazing route runner. For one,
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: there's two things here.
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: One, Okay, I don't really want to be pressing JSN either,
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: but playing JSN from depth is a nightmare.
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: Nightmare.
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: As a safety in the slot, and you have all
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: of this field, good luck. Because you know, obviously it's
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: Fleury now, whether it's Kubiak, they're going to do stuff
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: to already help him get open, not that he needs it.
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: And then he stems him a little bit, and Baker tries,
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: he kind of veers over the top, and then it's
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: just that one step. It's not like, Buda fell down,
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: but it's just subtle enough because everything we learned in
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: hard knocks, everything from JSN looks the same in terms
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: of his level base of gravity. And he stems him here,
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: puts his foot in the ground. And then drew lock
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: perfect throw because it's cut. The linebacker gets a nice
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: little drop. So drew has to get it over the linebacker,
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: but in front of the safety dots, the T's cross
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: the eyes as a touchdown for the CEO. So you
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: say play the band and we are going. Seahawks win it.
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: 31 to seven. It's our favorite formation.
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: Victory formation.
• 21:33
  Speaker 5: Here comes the Seahawks offense onto the field and the
• 21:36
  Speaker 5: Vikings defense trudging out there, knowing that one kneel down
• 21:42
  Speaker 5: and the Seahawks are going to wind the clock down.
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: And win this one. It's the victory formation on Hawk Talk.
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: It was a domination Seahawks defense playing at an unbelievable
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: level right now. Not allowing a completion of 10 yards
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: in an NFL game is insane. That's hard to do
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: in high school, college, any level of college. That's hard
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: to do in practice, let alone in a game when
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: a team is getting paid to play said game.
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: Just an unreal stat.
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: Holding them at 151 yards, not allowing a play of
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: 20 or more yards in two games is insane. Coach
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: McDonald has those guys dialed up right now.
• 22:13
  Speaker 3: Dialed in.
• 22:15
  Speaker 4: Also, you held Trey McBride to only 41 yards.
• 22:18
  Speaker 3: That's impressive.
• 22:19
  Speaker 4: Two games before that, you got like a buck 79
• 22:21
  Speaker 4: combined in a touchdown. Not so fast this time. Coach
• 22:24
  Speaker 4: McDonald is 16-2 on the road. And J-Love is playing
• 22:29
  Speaker 4: like an all-pro. Give him some love.
• 22:30
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: No, I mean, it's 16-2. 16-2. Yeah, that's crazy. Man,
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: that's hard to do.
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: And, again, have any level of appreciation because in the yesteryear,
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: the Seahawks couldn't win on the road. I was obviously
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: prior to Pete Carroll and all that stuff. But, like,
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: to be that dominant, that is hard. And those two losses,
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: they're right in them. So it's pretty insane. And then, obviously,
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: Sam Darnold. No Sam, no problem. Can't wait until he's back.
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: But it's just the confidence in what Drew was able
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: to do. He had a full 10 days to prepare
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: for that football game. Got to show you why the
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: Seahawks wanted him back. Because he can handle pressure. He
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: knew what he was supposed to do. He took care
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: of the football, which he said he was going to
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: do before the game. And he was going to get
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: the ball to those playmakers, which he said he was
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: going to do before the game. Finds Jason, three touchdowns.
• 23:14
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 23:15
  Speaker 4: And Jason, speaking of him, continues to show why he's
• 23:17
  Speaker 4: the best receiver in all the land. And you know what?
• 23:21
  Speaker 4: You got some good running back play. Emmanuel Wilson, Price
• 23:24
  Speaker 4: looked good. The Hawks improved to 2-0, and you got
• 23:27
  Speaker 4: to go East Coast. Now, East Coast trip to D.C.
• 23:29
  Speaker 4: to take on the Commanders. No Jaden Daniels this time.
• 23:32
  Speaker 5: No.
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, similar.
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: I mean, the Seahawks were beating them pretty badly. I
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: think it was 31-7 or 38-7 before Daniels got hurt
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: the last time.
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: So it'll be interesting.
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: Obviously, Marcus Mariota is going to be starting for them,
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: and they have some weapons as well. But I like
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: the Seahawks' chances. We'll get you guys prepared and ready
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: for that on Thursday. The Seahawks, though, took care of
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: business being the Arizona Cardinals 31-7. Always good to win
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: a game in the NFC West. Seahawks improved the 2-0,
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: so it should be fun. Appreciate you guys listening or watching.
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: You can make sure to listen on Apple Podcasts, Spotify,
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: Google Airplay, Stitcher, all the things, all the platforms that
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: you can do.
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: Listen to us.
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: We appreciate that. He's Michael Bumpus. I'm Nassif Chobi. This
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: has been Hawk Talk.
