0:44
Speaker 1: the injury update. Thanks bump Well, the Seahawks came out
0:46
Speaker 1: of the game against the Eagles pretty healthy. Chris Carson,
0:49
Speaker 1: you played in his first game since Week seven. Was
0:51
Speaker 1: a little sore given his first game action in a while,
0:53
Speaker 1: but he should be fine for Sunday's game against the Giants. However,
0:57
Speaker 1: Carlos Dunlap, he was a new addition to the injury report,
1:00
Speaker 1: this week, head coach Pete Carroll gave us an update
1:02
Speaker 1: on where he stands in his status for this weekend.
1:04
Speaker 1: As far as Carlos's concerned, he's got a store of foot.
1:07
Speaker 1: There's a little something going on, but nothing serious, and
1:09
Speaker 1: so we'll just needs to see how he goes and
1:11
Speaker 1: handles the week. I can't tell you how he'll be
1:13
Speaker 1: on game day yet, but we're hopeful and he's hopefully
1:16
Speaker 1: he'll be able to play. Running Back Rashad Penny in
1:18
Speaker 1: draft picked Darrell Taylor, who get to practice with the
1:21
Speaker 1: Seahawks this season, seeing begetting even closer for a possible
1:24
Speaker 1: return next week. We're going to get word by the
1:27
Speaker 1: end of the week here on Darryl. Rashad's getting real
1:30
Speaker 1: close to doing some stuff and so I'm excited to
1:32
Speaker 1: see if it's going to be this these next couple
1:35
Speaker 1: of days or it's next Monday. But we're right there
1:37
Speaker 1: for Rashot to jump back in here. Lastly, cornerback Quentin
1:40
Speaker 1: Dunbar is making a lot of progress suffering from a
1:42
Speaker 1: knee injury that plays him on IR three weeks ago.
1:45
Speaker 1: Pete Carroll gave us an update on whether we will
1:47
Speaker 1: see him back next week. He's got wait one more
1:50
Speaker 1: week before he can come back, and I think he's
1:51
Speaker 1: going to be ready to do that. I think from
1:53
Speaker 1: the way things are going, he's got a chance before
1:55
Speaker 1: we get going. Don't forget Every Thursday at seven pm
1:57
Speaker 1: at Talks Live on seven ten ESPN, seat that Michael
2:00
Speaker 1: Bombas and Paul Morier prepare you for each and every
2:03
Speaker 1: game with their insight analysis, player interviews, and behind the
2:06
Speaker 1: scenes look. After next Seahawks matchup, let's get right into it.
2:09
Speaker 1: Who's next the New York Giants? Who's stacks? Who's next?
2:18
Speaker 1: Who's next? I'll tell you who's next. The first place,
2:22
Speaker 1: New York Giants. They are first place in the NFAC.
2:25
Speaker 1: He's not saying much, but it's still the first place.
2:27
Speaker 1: They still got a spot in the playoffs right now.
2:29
Speaker 1: And this is the NFL, so you have to respect
2:32
Speaker 1: every opponent that your play. Here they're wins, they're four
2:35
Speaker 1: and seven, but here they're wins. Two wins against the
2:37
Speaker 1: Washington football team, one win against the Eagles, another win
2:40
Speaker 1: against the Cincinnati Bengals. You look at this team, you
2:43
Speaker 1: look at the record, and it's easy to try to
2:45
Speaker 1: go to sleep on these guys. But I gotta remind
2:48
Speaker 1: people in NAST this is the National Football League. Anybody
2:51
Speaker 1: can get it on any day now. You can even
2:53
Speaker 1: get it on a Wednesday, depending on what the schedule
2:55
Speaker 1: looks like. You get any day of the week here,
2:58
Speaker 1: no question about And here's the thing, man, I think.
3:00
Speaker 1: I think what you have to look at the second
3:02
Speaker 1: week in role play in the NFC East and it's
3:04
Speaker 1: these guys have something to play for. So you mentioned
3:06
Speaker 1: it is a National Football League, and yes they're four
3:08
Speaker 1: and seven, and you can look at all those losses.
3:10
Speaker 1: I mean, this team started the season oz and five.
3:12
Speaker 1: I mean they were dead in the water knowing five.
3:14
Speaker 1: They've won four to six, but they got something to
3:16
Speaker 1: play for and they're in first place right now. So
3:18
Speaker 1: there's still a dangerous team because they're hungry and they
3:21
Speaker 1: know they can still get into the playoffs and host
3:23
Speaker 1: a first round playoff game. So despite the record, I
3:26
Speaker 1: think there's something that they've got to be reckoned with
3:28
Speaker 1: and we can't take them lightly. With that being said,
3:32
Speaker 1: this is a game I'll come out and say it
3:33
Speaker 1: from the jump that the Seahawks should win and should
3:35
Speaker 1: win by more than double digits. They should win. I'm
3:39
Speaker 1: with you there. They have a might have a backup quarterback.
3:41
Speaker 1: We'll see what the situation looks like with Jones, they
3:44
Speaker 1: had a hamstring injury. I believe Coote mccorre would be
3:46
Speaker 1: the next guy up. We don't know what's gonna happen there.
3:49
Speaker 1: But let's take a closer look. They had to head comparison,
3:51
Speaker 1: all right, NFL rank when it comes to offense. When
3:54
Speaker 1: it comes to offense, the Seahawks just got him an
3:56
Speaker 1: every category. Seahawks for fifth. In total offense, they're t nine.
4:00
Speaker 1: Seahawks are fourth. In passing offense they're twenty eight. Seahawks
4:03
Speaker 1: are twelfth, and rushing they are fifteenth. Seahawks are thirteen
4:06
Speaker 1: points per game. They are thirtieth allowing or excuse me,
4:10
Speaker 1: scoring nineteen point five. You look at the paper, you
4:13
Speaker 1: look at the sheets, you look at the stats. They
4:15
Speaker 1: should win this game. Offensively, they are better. Flip it
4:18
Speaker 1: over to the defense. Okay, you're gonna look at the stats.
4:20
Speaker 1: You're gonna be like, all right, well, Giants have a
4:22
Speaker 1: better defense. They're tenth in total defense, nineteen than passing.
4:25
Speaker 1: But we all know what the Seahaws defense looks like
4:27
Speaker 1: as a blake, So I kind of. I mean, you
4:31
Speaker 1: have to look at the data. You gotta respect the numbers,
4:33
Speaker 1: but you gotta turn on the film and also see
4:35
Speaker 1: who's playing better football at this point. Yeah, and right now,
4:38
Speaker 1: I mean, yes, the Giants have won three games in
4:40
Speaker 1: a row, but if we're looking he's playing better football,
4:43
Speaker 1: it's a Seattle Seahawks. I mean, you mentioned that, you
4:45
Speaker 1: brought up our defense. Of course we've been beating this,
4:48
Speaker 1: beating you guys over the head with this from the
4:50
Speaker 1: beginning of the season. The Seahawks are not going to
4:52
Speaker 1: come back. In the defensive numbers. Yes, they're thirty second
4:54
Speaker 1: in total defense. Yes they're thirty second in past defense
4:57
Speaker 1: points were game twenty six. But you gotta look at
4:59
Speaker 1: the last ten quarters. Last ten quarters, the Seahawk defense
5:02
Speaker 1: has played really good football. They've held opponents to under
5:05
Speaker 1: thirty points, under three hundred fifty yards each and every week.
5:08
Speaker 1: So they're playing their best ball of the season as
5:10
Speaker 1: of late. So numbers aside on the defensive side of
5:14
Speaker 1: the ball, the Seahawks, you just look at these guys
5:17
Speaker 1: on paper, and honestly, for me, I just there's just
5:20
Speaker 1: no way that I think the Giants could come down
5:22
Speaker 1: to Looming Field and get a win. I mean, it's
5:25
Speaker 1: it's one of those things. Um, I don't want to
5:27
Speaker 1: get too confident me and you can get confident because
5:28
Speaker 1: we're not playing on Sunday. But I'm just saying I'm
5:31
Speaker 1: looking at the numbers and I don't see how they
5:33
Speaker 1: can get it done. And we'll get into and key matchups.
5:35
Speaker 1: But Daniel Jones, he's out right now. Judge came up
5:39
Speaker 1: to Potium this week and said he's not sure. We're
5:41
Speaker 1: gonna wait and see as he goes through practice. But
5:43
Speaker 1: judging by their last game, his hamstring looked pretty bad.
5:46
Speaker 1: He got pulled, he couldn't throw off his back foot
5:48
Speaker 1: or do anything like that. And Cole McCoy comes into
5:50
Speaker 1: the game. He's been a backup, hasn't played a lot
5:53
Speaker 1: of football, so they got things to play for. But
5:55
Speaker 1: the Seahawks, I think, especially building off the last two
5:58
Speaker 1: weeks with momentum that they had, should come out on
6:01
Speaker 1: top and handle it. This defense looks different, This offense
6:05
Speaker 1: looks different, a little more run oriented. Arm are taking
6:10
Speaker 1: your time down the field when it comes to this offense,
6:11
Speaker 1: this defense let's explosive. Jamal Adams is getting after him,
6:15
Speaker 1: Dunlap is getting after him, and this defense is number
6:18
Speaker 1: three against the run. So there's something that they can
6:20
Speaker 1: hold on too, right there. Now, let's get to know
6:22
Speaker 1: these two teams. Know your history, No, your history all right,
6:28
Speaker 1: So these teams don't play a ton. But the series
6:30
Speaker 1: record all time is nine and nine, with the Seahawks
6:33
Speaker 1: winning the last four matchups. Last two times or last
6:36
Speaker 1: time these two met, the Seahawks pulled out a twenty
6:38
Speaker 1: four to seven victory in the Meadowlands in twenty seventeen.
6:41
Speaker 1: Dominating performance by the Seahawk defense, but Russell Wilson is
6:44
Speaker 1: one who came out and sold the show. Was twenty
6:46
Speaker 1: seven for thirty nine for three hundred and thirty four
6:49
Speaker 1: yards in three touchdowns. Doug Ballbin also had a great
6:52
Speaker 1: game with nine receptions for ninety two yards in a
6:54
Speaker 1: tud but interestingly enough, bump in that game on the
6:58
Speaker 1: defensive line leading them into tackles. Damon Snacks Harrison he
7:02
Speaker 1: had seven tackles and one TfL in the game. So
7:06
Speaker 1: Damon Snacks going against his former team, and honestly, yes,
7:09
Speaker 1: he came from Detroit, but Snacks became an All Pro
7:12
Speaker 1: in the good football player that office know him by
7:14
Speaker 1: in the Giants uniform, so it'll be cool for him
7:17
Speaker 1: to go up against his old team. Well, now he's
7:20
Speaker 1: playing for the good guys, so we can we canna
7:21
Speaker 1: expect Hiven bigger numbers now, right, he has seven tackles.
7:24
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give him nine. Yeah, one tagle Flo, I'm
7:26
Speaker 1: gonna give him two. Snacks is gonna step his game
7:29
Speaker 1: up against his former boys. Let's take a look at
7:32
Speaker 1: the NFC West. What's the word in the West? And
7:38
Speaker 1: the Seahawks w the NFC West champs again? What's the
7:42
Speaker 1: word in the West? On Hawk Talk, I'll tell you
7:48
Speaker 1: what the word is. The Hawks are sitting on top
7:50
Speaker 1: of the division at eight and three. The rounds right
7:52
Speaker 1: behind him at seven and four. Cardinal six and five
7:55
Speaker 1: in San Francisco, if they probably won't make the playoffs,
7:57
Speaker 1: but they are still in the hunt at five six
8:00
Speaker 1: and this was a crazy weekend for the Seattle Seahawks.
8:03
Speaker 1: So Cardinals lose to the Patriots, lose to the Patriots.
8:08
Speaker 1: They got their run game going again. They had about
8:10
Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty yards one hundred and sixty yards rushing.
8:13
Speaker 1: Drake had two touchdowns. They fixed that. But I'm looking
8:16
Speaker 1: at Kyler Murray and I think teams are starting to
8:18
Speaker 1: figure it out. They're starting to figure it out. He's
8:21
Speaker 1: not able to get outside of the pocket like he's
8:22
Speaker 1: used to doing, and they're starting to bliss him. He's
8:25
Speaker 1: being blitzed thirty nine percent of the time. They're one
8:27
Speaker 1: of three last four games before that being blitzed seventeen
8:30
Speaker 1: percent of the time, and they're balling. So Kyler Murray
8:33
Speaker 1: is in a place where Russell was maybe a few
8:35
Speaker 1: weeks ago to where you're starting to get different looks
8:37
Speaker 1: on defense against defenses, and you have to try to
8:40
Speaker 1: figure it out. In Cam Newton, I'm a Cam Newton support.
8:45
Speaker 1: As long as he ain't playing the Hawks, I want
8:47
Speaker 1: to see Cam Newton has some success. Finally, he came
8:50
Speaker 1: through with a big run on third down to kind
8:52
Speaker 1: of extend that drive. Got a penalty, got hit late,
8:55
Speaker 1: which I don't think it was a late hit. I
8:56
Speaker 1: don't think it's a dirty hip, but they called a
8:58
Speaker 1: penalty for him. He was stepping out balance. He got
9:00
Speaker 1: hit by the rookie linebacker. They put them away with
9:03
Speaker 1: the field goal. I wasn't expecting New Winglands to get
9:06
Speaker 1: it done. No, I wasn't at all, and quite frankly,
9:09
Speaker 1: especially just the way they're playing, and they didn't play
9:12
Speaker 1: well offensively. I mean, like you mentioned being a Cam
9:15
Speaker 1: Newton supporter, and I am too. It just looks rough.
9:18
Speaker 1: Every single yard is hard to get and like and
9:22
Speaker 1: I don't know if Cam is still hurt or it's
9:24
Speaker 1: just because they have zero offensive weapons in terms of
9:26
Speaker 1: the outside, but I mean it's it's painful. I mean,
9:29
Speaker 1: this is like the second week in a row. May
9:31
Speaker 1: I think maybe the third or fourth time all year
9:33
Speaker 1: that Cam Newton hasn't thrown for a hundred yards. I mean,
9:36
Speaker 1: this man was a former league MVP, So I don't
9:39
Speaker 1: know if it's Cam being hurt. I don't know if
9:41
Speaker 1: it's a lack of weapons on offense. I don't know
9:43
Speaker 1: if it's Bill Belichick on it was Josh McDaniels. But
9:46
Speaker 1: something is not right over there. With that being said,
9:49
Speaker 1: he did just enough, so there's a little redemption. Like
9:51
Speaker 1: I said, I thought they were trying to run the
9:53
Speaker 1: clock out of third and thirteen. He saw Hiow scrambles
9:55
Speaker 1: with the first down, gets hit out of bounds, Tiki
9:57
Speaker 1: tach call. Obviously, if you're Seahawks fan, you enjoy that
10:00
Speaker 1: because that set up the game winning field goal. And
10:03
Speaker 1: you mentioned about Kyler Murray. So is this them getting
10:08
Speaker 1: figured this Kyler Murray being figured out, or is this
10:11
Speaker 1: Cliff Kingsbury being figured out with the offense he's trying
10:13
Speaker 1: to bring from Texas Tech to fit Kyler Murrays. This
10:16
Speaker 1: more of a scheme offensive coordinating issue or just more
10:19
Speaker 1: of a Kyler Murray issue. Man, that's the good question.
10:22
Speaker 1: It has to be a little bit of both, right,
10:23
Speaker 1: because players have their tendencies, and we know that any
10:27
Speaker 1: type of pressure, Kyler Murray wants to get outside, scurry
10:29
Speaker 1: up the field, get to the sideline, so teams are
10:31
Speaker 1: game planning for that. But then also the film is
10:34
Speaker 1: out on Kingsbury. Just like the Hawks have to adjust
10:37
Speaker 1: mids season, they have to make their adjustments as well.
10:39
Speaker 1: And I think Kisbury's he's a good coach. He understands
10:41
Speaker 1: the offense and how to get guys open. But this
10:44
Speaker 1: is the NFL. You're not just gonna overpower guys, so
10:46
Speaker 1: you've got more talent. You have to really scheme for this.
10:49
Speaker 1: And also, Hopkins second week in a row five catches
10:53
Speaker 1: fifty yards. If that man isn't getting at least nineteen
10:56
Speaker 1: targets ten catches on a hundred yards, this offense is
10:58
Speaker 1: not gonna go for the errors on the Cardinals. When
11:01
Speaker 1: I saw that stat, I'm thinking something's wrong. And we
11:03
Speaker 1: all know against the Hawks, Kyler had a shoulder thing going.
11:06
Speaker 1: Is that effecting his game? Is that making him hesitant
11:09
Speaker 1: to run? I'm not sure, but there are some things
11:11
Speaker 1: going on that they have to figure out. Yeah, no
11:12
Speaker 1: question about it. I mean he was containing on the
11:14
Speaker 1: ground again, he only on thirty one rush yards and
11:16
Speaker 1: this guy came in leading all quarterbacks by a big margin.
11:19
Speaker 1: I was wondering if he was going to rush for
11:20
Speaker 1: a thousand yards. That's the clip he was on before
11:22
Speaker 1: the Seahawks game. So maybe he's hurt, maybe he's not.
11:26
Speaker 1: They're struggling right now. I mean, if you take out
11:28
Speaker 1: that Hail Mary to Hopkins, they've lost three in a row,
11:30
Speaker 1: so they're not playing good football. So they fall down
11:34
Speaker 1: there now. The other game rams in forty nine ers.
11:38
Speaker 1: I met with my dad and my sister earlier that day.
11:41
Speaker 1: We went on a walk just talking about football, and
11:44
Speaker 1: the game was starting up and I was like, well,
11:46
Speaker 1: the Rams are gonna win that one. I mean, the Niners,
11:48
Speaker 1: They're they're gonna give him a good, good effort, but
11:51
Speaker 1: there's no way they win that game. And I start
11:53
Speaker 1: falling along, and my god, man, this game was sloppy.
11:56
Speaker 1: Seven turnovers by both teams. Both teams also scored defensive touchdowns.
12:00
Speaker 1: Robbie Goldkay the game winning field goals time expired to
12:03
Speaker 1: end the forty nine Ers three game losing streak. But
12:06
Speaker 1: my goodness, man, Jared Goff, We've talked about this man
12:09
Speaker 1: a lot, and Sunday, this previous Sunday was a Jared
12:14
Speaker 1: Goff where he looks like a bottom five quarterback. Nineteen
12:17
Speaker 1: to thirty one, one hundred nine eight yards, two interceptions,
12:20
Speaker 1: and also lost a fumble. And it's just again, I
12:23
Speaker 1: just will never understand it how he can look so
12:26
Speaker 1: good some weeks in so bad in other weeks. And honestly,
12:29
Speaker 1: I think he's the key to the Rams period. The
12:31
Speaker 1: Rams go as Jared Goff goes, yep, exactly. And finally
12:35
Speaker 1: we're starting to hear some criticism from his offensive coordinated slash.
12:38
Speaker 1: Head coach McVay said, our quarterback has to has to
12:43
Speaker 1: take care of the football. And we've been saying that
12:45
Speaker 1: for one a couple of years. Now he's got to
12:47
Speaker 1: take care of the football. There was an interception he
12:49
Speaker 1: threw to Richard Sherman. It looks like he was throwing
12:51
Speaker 1: get too Richard Sherman. Yes, like there was nobody around.
12:54
Speaker 1: I think there was a tight end leaking to the sideline,
12:57
Speaker 1: but it just didn't look confident. Now here's a positive
13:00
Speaker 1: if for the rounds, they might have something in this
13:02
Speaker 1: kid Anchors the running back. They got three running backs
13:04
Speaker 1: over there who can get it done. To get Anchors.
13:06
Speaker 1: They got Henderson to have Malcolm Brown. That should be
13:08
Speaker 1: their formula. Also, Cooper Cup has to scored a touchdown
13:11
Speaker 1: in six seven games. Get this man the football. I
13:14
Speaker 1: understand their scheme that's involved with that, but your end
13:17
Speaker 1: of the day, your quarterback has to make the right decisions.
13:19
Speaker 1: I'm not seeing that out of Jared Goff. Here's my
13:23
Speaker 1: question to you, and ask who you take Jared Goff
13:26
Speaker 1: or Carson Wentz. Oh, that's a tough question. I can't believe.
13:34
Speaker 1: Like my initial gut reaction was was Jared Goff. But
13:40
Speaker 1: I don't feel comfortable saying that. I don't know, man,
13:43
Speaker 1: because the Carson Wentz that we saw twenty seventeen seems
13:46
Speaker 1: like ten years ago. It's like, I don't even recognize
13:48
Speaker 1: that guy as of right now. At least at least
13:52
Speaker 1: Jared goffed his upside. I feel like can be really
13:56
Speaker 1: good right now with went titis looks broken. So that's
14:00
Speaker 1: a good question, Bump. But what I do know about
14:01
Speaker 1: the Rams. The last thing I'll say about them is
14:04
Speaker 1: I don't care how they looked the week before. I
14:06
Speaker 1: don't care if Jared Goff throws ten interceptions this week
14:09
Speaker 1: against the Cardinals. When they play the Seahawks again, we're
14:13
Speaker 1: gonna get their best effort in that game is gonna
14:15
Speaker 1: come down to the wire. That's just always how it goes.
14:18
Speaker 1: You already know, you already know what the West is
14:20
Speaker 1: getting wild And on Sunday the Rams and Cardinals square
14:23
Speaker 1: off in a huge NFC West matchup. We will be
14:26
Speaker 1: glued to that game scene when what's happening? Now, let's
14:29
Speaker 1: check out these matchups? Man up? Is this this man up?
14:40
Speaker 1: On Hawk Talk? Man up? Will We usually start with
14:43
Speaker 1: the quarterback, and we're gonna start with the quarterback for
14:45
Speaker 1: the New York Football Giants. Don't think it's gonna be
14:48
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones unless he's got some crazy um healing power
14:52
Speaker 1: to that hamstring. We don't think we're gonna see him. Um.
14:55
Speaker 1: We think we're probably gonna see Courte McCoy taking snaps
14:58
Speaker 1: for the Giants. Now, Yeah, for those out there wondering,
15:01
Speaker 1: Colt McCoy is still a quarterback in the National Football League.
15:06
Speaker 1: For Daniel Jones, has been a while. Not a commentator yet.
15:09
Speaker 1: You think he'd be a commentator by now, right, quarterbacks man,
15:12
Speaker 1: no man, So he's stepped in for Dana Jones. He's
15:14
Speaker 1: thirty four years old, eleventh professional season. It's been a
15:18
Speaker 1: while for him. Man, He's got seven starts in nine years.
15:22
Speaker 1: Hasn't really been a starting quarterback since twenty eleven. You know,
15:26
Speaker 1: he's appeared in just twenty games since then, starting only seven.
15:29
Speaker 1: But Joe Judge talked to the media in New York
15:32
Speaker 1: this week about his confidence level if Colton McCoy has
15:35
Speaker 1: to play on Sunday, I have a lot of confidence
15:38
Speaker 1: in cold. Let me tell you what. The way this
15:39
Speaker 1: guy comes to work every day and prepares and then
15:42
Speaker 1: every chance he gets on the field to compete. But
15:44
Speaker 1: I've been able to play again or coach against this guy.
15:46
Speaker 1: Now he's with us. Right now, you get to see
15:48
Speaker 1: how competitive this guy is. He's got a lot of instincts,
15:51
Speaker 1: a lot of savvy draws on his experience. He's a
15:53
Speaker 1: tough dude. He's mentally tough, he's physically tough. You know,
15:56
Speaker 1: he's a guy that's very well respected on this team.
15:58
Speaker 1: In the locker room, on the field, the guys really
16:00
Speaker 1: like Colby rally around him just like a d Daniel.
16:03
Speaker 1: You know, he's a guy that puts a lot of
16:05
Speaker 1: confidence in the players in the huddle. I always talk about,
16:07
Speaker 1: you know, you want a quarterbackers will step in the
16:09
Speaker 1: huddle of ten sets of eyes looking. I have known
16:11
Speaker 1: that this guy's got to give him the answer, and
16:13
Speaker 1: I think, cold sat guy. So of course your head
16:16
Speaker 1: coach with a backup quarterback stepping in is gonna have
16:18
Speaker 1: his back. He's gonna say, you have all the confidence
16:20
Speaker 1: in the world. We know what he can do. You
16:23
Speaker 1: got to speak it into existence, right, So Cold McCoy,
16:25
Speaker 1: this how long it's Ben? He hasn't won a game
16:27
Speaker 1: and starting quarterback since October twenty seventh of twenty fourteen
16:30
Speaker 1: against Tony Romo and the Cowboys in overtime. He did
16:33
Speaker 1: start a game last year for the Giants. He went
16:36
Speaker 1: eighteen for twenty seven one hundred and twenty two yards,
16:39
Speaker 1: zero touchdowns, one interception in with sacks six times in
16:42
Speaker 1: a blowout loss. So if you're the Seahawks defense, man,
16:47
Speaker 1: I think you're licking your chops in your ready rock man,
16:49
Speaker 1: because you need to force turnovers, and especially after what
16:52
Speaker 1: we did to Carson once last week. I mean, this
16:54
Speaker 1: is a game where I feel like we make a
16:57
Speaker 1: jump in the defensive categories this week. Better make a
17:02
Speaker 1: jump then, Judge man, I appreciate you trying to hype
17:04
Speaker 1: up your quarterback, but there's a reason why he's only
17:06
Speaker 1: started seven games. He's been in the league at eleven years,
17:10
Speaker 1: seven games appeared in twenty No disrespect to Cole. You're
17:13
Speaker 1: making way more money than me holding the clipboard. But
17:15
Speaker 1: I don't think he's the guy. And if he comes
17:19
Speaker 1: out and performs great, then I'd be surprised, and I
17:23
Speaker 1: would say that this defense has some other issues they
17:27
Speaker 1: need to work through. In regards of the Seattle Seahawks,
17:29
Speaker 1: I just don't see it happening. But I can never
17:32
Speaker 1: hate on a man who's been collecting checks in the
17:34
Speaker 1: league for eleven years. I mean, good for you, good
17:36
Speaker 1: for you, Colton McCoy. But Seahawks are about to get
17:39
Speaker 1: at him all right. Next match of Russell Wilson verse
17:42
Speaker 1: the Giants defense. Russell has thirty two hundred and sixteen yards,
17:45
Speaker 1: thirty one touchdowns, ten interceptions, but two straight games with
17:49
Speaker 1: no turnovers, and that's what I think we should focus
17:53
Speaker 1: on him. He's taking care of the fullball. He has
17:55
Speaker 1: a run game that's gonna help him now, and I
17:57
Speaker 1: think he's settled down. He's understands that there are gonna
18:00
Speaker 1: be times where he has to take the game over him,
18:03
Speaker 1: but at this point of the season, he doesn't have to.
18:05
Speaker 1: Right now, it's just put points on the board, take
18:08
Speaker 1: care of the football, and just survive. There are no
18:10
Speaker 1: style points. People are like asking for Russell Wilson to
18:13
Speaker 1: get back to four or five touchdowns and we need
18:15
Speaker 1: to blow guys out. I don't care about the blowout.
18:17
Speaker 1: I understand it's stressful. I understand it's it's not fun
18:21
Speaker 1: watching a team throw a hell Mary at the end
18:22
Speaker 1: of the game and put an extra seven on the board.
18:25
Speaker 1: But I also know that it's a marathon and they're
18:27
Speaker 1: eight and three and Russell has has gotten back to
18:30
Speaker 1: his responsible self by taking care of the football. So
18:33
Speaker 1: I'm i with how he's playing. Oh, no question about it,
18:35
Speaker 1: because it's like you said, this isn't this isn't the
18:38
Speaker 1: year two thousand and four, and we're hoping to get
18:40
Speaker 1: into the BCS like it doesn't matter. Yes, four and
18:43
Speaker 1: five touchdowns was great. We all loved it. We all
18:46
Speaker 1: love let Russ cook. We all loved the MVP talk
18:49
Speaker 1: each and every single week. But like I said, like
18:51
Speaker 1: you said, I think in our last podcast, it's kind
18:54
Speaker 1: of nice that we're not so concerned and focus about
18:57
Speaker 1: the MVP and Russell is just doing what he has
18:58
Speaker 1: to do to get this team in games. And by
19:01
Speaker 1: no means is he just managing the game. He's still
19:03
Speaker 1: making all the plays and all the throws and all
19:04
Speaker 1: the decisions, all the protections, all that stuff. Russ is
19:07
Speaker 1: still doing it and doing it at high level. But
19:09
Speaker 1: now we're just getting what we have to get done.
19:11
Speaker 1: We're getting ourselves in the best position to win. We're
19:13
Speaker 1: getting our running backs back and our running game is
19:15
Speaker 1: starting to show up. So love how Russ is playing
19:19
Speaker 1: the Giants. If you're gonna give them strength, it's their defense.
19:21
Speaker 1: Like we mentioned earlier, they're only allowing twenty three points
19:24
Speaker 1: a game. They're okay against the pass two hundred forty
19:27
Speaker 1: five pass yards a game. But all that being said,
19:32
Speaker 1: Russell only has three touchdown passes in three weeks. So
19:39
Speaker 1: I'm just saying I feel like he's due for a
19:42
Speaker 1: big game. I'm not saying we need him four hundred
19:44
Speaker 1: yards and five touchdowns, but I could see him going off,
19:47
Speaker 1: especially because I don't know anyone in a Giants uniform
19:52
Speaker 1: that is going to match up with DK Metcalf or
19:55
Speaker 1: Tyler Lockett. So I could see them having a big game.
19:59
Speaker 1: I am you there. The next matchup Giants receiving Corps
20:03
Speaker 1: verse Seahawks secondary, and no one really jumps off the
20:06
Speaker 1: page when you look at the stats and even look
20:08
Speaker 1: at the film, no one really, No one does anything
20:10
Speaker 1: for him. But do you have a guy in there
20:12
Speaker 1: Slayton who has thirty eight receptions, five hundred eighty four
20:14
Speaker 1: yards and three touchdowns. You and I talked before we
20:16
Speaker 1: go out on the air here, Evan Ingram, it's probably
20:19
Speaker 1: their best offensive rip forty four receptions he's a tight
20:22
Speaker 1: end four hundred and seventy six yards and one touched him.
20:25
Speaker 1: One thing I like about Ingram is that he's got
20:28
Speaker 1: a little burst when the ball is in his hands, yep,
20:31
Speaker 1: and he will go up and attack the football out
20:33
Speaker 1: the air. If he was on any other football team,
20:36
Speaker 1: any other any other football team outside of the NFC East,
20:39
Speaker 1: he might be getting more loved than he's getting right now,
20:42
Speaker 1: no question about I think he's a matchup nightmare. I
20:44
Speaker 1: was watching the game shape against the Bengals this last Sunday,
20:48
Speaker 1: and he's beating corners, he's beating quarters on deep balls,
20:51
Speaker 1: he's getting inside. He's nice in his route running. And
20:55
Speaker 1: if he's line up against him, if he's matched up
20:57
Speaker 1: on a linebacker, that's typically a lost every single time.
20:59
Speaker 1: I mean, Ingram is good. He's solid. Not that he's
21:03
Speaker 1: not a world beater. He's not a George Kittle in
21:04
Speaker 1: the run game, but he's gonna get it done. And
21:06
Speaker 1: like we, like you mentioned, I do think he's their
21:08
Speaker 1: best offensive weapons. He's definitely someone that the Seahawks defense,
21:12
Speaker 1: if you're gonna focus on anybody, it's that man right there.
21:15
Speaker 1: If Golden Tate, now Golden Tate players for the Giants
21:18
Speaker 1: twenty ever sceptions, three hundred six yards, two touchdowns. If
21:21
Speaker 1: the Twelves were in lumen Field Stadium, I'm sorry if
21:24
Speaker 1: I'm jacking that uplum. What is the lumen Stadium field?
21:27
Speaker 1: Louman Field? If the Twelves are in lumin Field, does
21:30
Speaker 1: Golden Tate get a standing ovation? I think so. I
21:36
Speaker 1: think it's a smattering. I think it's eighty twenty. I
21:38
Speaker 1: think eighty percent years, maybe twenty percent booze, But I
21:41
Speaker 1: mean Golden did a ton for this football team, obviously
21:45
Speaker 1: helped bring us the only Super Bowl championship for this organization.
21:49
Speaker 1: So much love for Golden Tate. I think, just because
21:52
Speaker 1: it's football fans, there's gonna be some people that boo
21:55
Speaker 1: he's not wearing the right uniform anymore. But it'll be
21:58
Speaker 1: interesting to see because he's still a good football You
22:00
Speaker 1: just don't really hear much about him. I know there's
22:01
Speaker 1: a little friction in the Giants locker room. I think
22:05
Speaker 1: at one point he wanted to get traded and talked
22:06
Speaker 1: about that, apologize for that, and is still performing. So
22:09
Speaker 1: it'll be interesting to see what he looks like on Sunday.
22:12
Speaker 1: All right next matchup? Who you got, nass Wayne Gallman
22:16
Speaker 1: running back. Yes, Seahawk fans for those listening out there,
22:19
Speaker 1: Wayne Golman is they're starting running back. He's not say
22:22
Speaker 1: Quon Barkley who went down in Week two with an injury,
22:25
Speaker 1: or DeVonta Freeman, who you guys remember from the Falcons,
22:27
Speaker 1: who also has been injured. But Wayne Gallman's is solid
22:30
Speaker 1: running back. Okay, He's got ninety three carries for three
22:32
Speaker 1: hundred and sixty nine yards and five rushing touchdowns. Daniel
22:36
Speaker 1: Jones was leading the team at the quarterback position in rushing.
22:39
Speaker 1: But Gallman's a good athlete. He's explosive, he's kind of elusive.
22:44
Speaker 1: He's not the tough physical runner that like a Chris
22:47
Speaker 1: Carson is. But he saw it, he saw it. He's
22:49
Speaker 1: gonna get the job done. He can run in between
22:51
Speaker 1: the tackles, he can get outside. And then Giants is
22:54
Speaker 1: a team. They're kind of in the middle when it
22:56
Speaker 1: comes with running the ball, averaging one hundred and thirteen
22:58
Speaker 1: yards per game. So he's a guy that it's one
23:01
Speaker 1: of those things where he can't go off. Obviously, he's
23:03
Speaker 1: someone they need to contain and continue do a good
23:05
Speaker 1: job stopping to run. But he's not someone that you
23:10
Speaker 1: immediately circle and feel like you need to have an
23:12
Speaker 1: extra meeting for it. In my opinion, I think he's
23:14
Speaker 1: a solid dude. Yeah, should be respected, but nothing, nothing
23:18
Speaker 1: over the top crazy. I think what scares me about
23:22
Speaker 1: running backs in the NFL is that anyone's capable of
23:25
Speaker 1: having a day. Right, we talk about Goldman and but
23:28
Speaker 1: if if the gaps are there, if the lands are there,
23:31
Speaker 1: if he's feeling good, he can have a day. So
23:33
Speaker 1: they have to make sure that they make the Giants
23:36
Speaker 1: who they are not a very good offensive football team,
23:40
Speaker 1: and don't let guys that you don't really know about
23:42
Speaker 1: go off by young man win all right? Next matchup,
23:46
Speaker 1: DK metcat birds everybody on the Giants defenses. Dudeom had
23:52
Speaker 1: ten catches one hundred and seventy seven yards in Week twelve.
23:54
Speaker 1: He leaves the league with a thousand and thirty nine yards.
23:58
Speaker 1: He has five games of at least one hundred receiving
24:01
Speaker 1: yards this season, tied for the most in the league.
24:05
Speaker 1: You called it, ass, you called it superstar in the making.
24:09
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna say he's a superstar. Now it's facts. Now,
24:12
Speaker 1: this dude has a thousand yards a second year in
24:14
Speaker 1: the league. You look at his numbers two years compared
24:18
Speaker 1: to Megatron, even good old Jerry, and there was one
24:23
Speaker 1: other receiver anyway, you compare his first two years to
24:26
Speaker 1: the greats. He's right up there throwing hands making a
24:29
Speaker 1: case that he might be one of the best receivers
24:32
Speaker 1: to play this game if he continues on the path
24:36
Speaker 1: that he is on. Oh, no question about it. I
24:37
Speaker 1: think he's on the path of being a perennial pro
24:40
Speaker 1: bowler as well as an All Pro caliber guy. And
24:43
Speaker 1: you look at it right now, and it's not even
24:45
Speaker 1: like he's doing it in the way that others are
24:47
Speaker 1: doing it. Like when you look at Hopkins, who my opinion,
24:50
Speaker 1: is probably the best receiver in National Full League today.
24:53
Speaker 1: If you had to pick up just number one, he
24:56
Speaker 1: the volume apart from the last two weeks, the volume
24:58
Speaker 1: of targets, and he has way different He has way
25:01
Speaker 1: more targets than a DK Metcalf. You look at digs
25:04
Speaker 1: in Buffalo, he has a lot more targets in Metcalf.
25:06
Speaker 1: So DK is just doing it in big, explosive ways
25:10
Speaker 1: and he's finding a different way to do it each
25:12
Speaker 1: and every single week. So I think DC is creeping
25:13
Speaker 1: in that conversation. If you're talking about top receivers in
25:16
Speaker 1: the league, DK metcalf is in the top three, and
25:18
Speaker 1: he continues to do it. And I don't know who
25:20
Speaker 1: on the Giants is gonna be able to get in
25:21
Speaker 1: front of him or stop him. The only person that's
25:24
Speaker 1: had any chance sewing him down this year was Jalen Ramsey,
25:27
Speaker 1: and we all know that has circled on everybody's calendar
25:30
Speaker 1: for that matchup when it happens again. But DKs is
25:33
Speaker 1: another dude man, and he's getting underdude's skin. Man. He
25:36
Speaker 1: is making B's angry, and honestly, I feel it because
25:40
Speaker 1: if I was a dB going against him, I would
25:42
Speaker 1: be angry too. I'd mean they're trying to be getting
25:44
Speaker 1: fiscal and when you think you have good coverage and
25:46
Speaker 1: you get most, you get ran over. You can't get
25:48
Speaker 1: off him in the run game. Yeah, you start getting
25:50
Speaker 1: frustrated and start pushing. After the play, he started yelling,
25:52
Speaker 1: start complaining to the referees. I mean, I get it,
25:55
Speaker 1: and I understand why flags are getting thrown. DK makes
25:59
Speaker 1: DB's insecure. It ain't gonna be me, Yeah, gonna do
26:02
Speaker 1: that to me, Yes, he is. He's going to do
26:04
Speaker 1: that to only one man that's been able to contain
26:06
Speaker 1: him a bid so far, Like you mentioned, that is
26:08
Speaker 1: Jalen Ramsey. And now because DK has been having such
26:11
Speaker 1: a great season, it's time for number sixteen. I feel
26:14
Speaker 1: like sixteen Tyler Lockett is gonna have a day this weekend.
26:18
Speaker 1: Now let's talk about how are you gonna get this debut?
26:21
Speaker 1: The path to victory? After forty five waits for the staff,
26:26
Speaker 1: Michael Vickson puts it down. That kick is away. If
26:29
Speaker 1: that kick gone, it's gone. It's a path to victory.
26:35
Speaker 1: On Hawk Talk, how will the Seahawks improve to nine
26:39
Speaker 1: and three in the wind Calm, I'll tell you. Take
26:42
Speaker 1: care of the teams you're supposed to be. First thing
26:44
Speaker 1: you need to do. Make Colte McCoy look like a
26:47
Speaker 1: backup quarterback. It's someone who hasn't really played in almost
26:50
Speaker 1: a decade as a starting quarterback in this league. He
26:53
Speaker 1: is someone who obviously no disrespect to him. He's been
26:55
Speaker 1: in the league for this long for a reason, but
26:58
Speaker 1: he's not the starting quarterback. You have another guy in there,
27:00
Speaker 1: you're playing well defensively. You need to make it look
27:02
Speaker 1: that way. You need to get after him in the
27:04
Speaker 1: pass rush, you need to create turnover, you need to
27:05
Speaker 1: do all those things. So just just show up, man
27:09
Speaker 1: don't don't let him come out there and throw for
27:11
Speaker 1: three hundred yards and bring up all those questions about
27:13
Speaker 1: where we are as a defense. The defense is training
27:15
Speaker 1: in the right direction, so let's keep it up and
27:17
Speaker 1: make it look like that they're trending in the right direction.
27:20
Speaker 1: I was watching sports Center Ryan clarks as they're the
27:22
Speaker 1: hottest defense in the league right now. So let's keep
27:26
Speaker 1: that rolling. And like you mentioned, turnovers, one turnover. Last
27:30
Speaker 1: week against Carson Wentz, Diggs had the interceptions and third
27:33
Speaker 1: interception of the year in the end zone. We need
27:35
Speaker 1: more of that. We need Colton mccore to be confused.
27:37
Speaker 1: We need him to feel like he is a backup
27:40
Speaker 1: a quarterback and things are happening really fast. For him
27:42
Speaker 1: to get pressure on him, make him turn the football over.
27:45
Speaker 1: And then if you get another opportunity like at that Diggs,
27:48
Speaker 1: take it out the end zone. Get your head read on.
27:50
Speaker 1: Let's take that thing one hundred and two. Let's go.
27:52
Speaker 1: Come on, man hey, and you hear this from every
27:54
Speaker 1: coach out there, alignment, assignment, key finish right. This game
28:00
Speaker 1: one that the Seahawks need to dominate defensively, and it's
28:03
Speaker 1: not even just win the way they started the game
28:05
Speaker 1: against the Eagles, that was the game they need to
28:07
Speaker 1: dominate and they started the game with five three owns.
28:09
Speaker 1: The Seahawks defense needs do that same thing again and
28:11
Speaker 1: it just starts a little thing. Get lined up right,
28:13
Speaker 1: do your assignment, do your job, and keep it up.
28:16
Speaker 1: And right now they're playing good. I mean, it's fun
28:18
Speaker 1: watching them. Last week was fun watching Jamal Adams and
28:21
Speaker 1: digs and you can just feel the energy. Bobby Wagner,
28:24
Speaker 1: Jordan Brooks, everyone is flying around and they look like
28:26
Speaker 1: they're having fun. So they need to keep that up.
28:29
Speaker 1: Keep that up, and get Chris Carson going. He had
28:32
Speaker 1: eight to ten ten carries last week, forty one yards
28:35
Speaker 1: in a touchdown, and that was this warm up game.
28:37
Speaker 1: That was Okay, let's see how you feel, let's see
28:39
Speaker 1: what you got. He looked healthy to me. There was
28:41
Speaker 1: a burst that I haven't seen out of any other
28:43
Speaker 1: running back in the backfield for the Seahawks this year.
28:46
Speaker 1: So get him going eighteen to twenty touches. I'm with that.
28:49
Speaker 1: Maybe three to four receptions. I'm with that as well.
28:52
Speaker 1: Get into the red zone, finish the drives. The Hawks
28:55
Speaker 1: are one of the best in the red zone to
28:56
Speaker 1: start the season. I think there's somewhere still near the
28:59
Speaker 1: top half of the league. We'll get back to doing
29:01
Speaker 1: what you do, no question about it. And then you
29:03
Speaker 1: just mentioned in the last segment, Tyler Lockett needs to
29:06
Speaker 1: be involved more offensively. He's been quiet for the last
29:09
Speaker 1: couple of weeks, and he's just too good and too
29:12
Speaker 1: important to what we do. Obviously, we know teams are
29:15
Speaker 1: scheming and trying to figure out to take things away,
29:17
Speaker 1: to take away those deep crosses, to take away some
29:19
Speaker 1: of Tyler's favorite routes, but we need to find a
29:22
Speaker 1: way to get him the ball has to make us
29:24
Speaker 1: that much better. The same with Will Disley, man with
29:26
Speaker 1: Greg Olsen going down. We know Jake Hollister has been
29:31
Speaker 1: doing a good job. He's one of Russell's favorite targets
29:33
Speaker 1: in the tight end room. But Will Disley, we know
29:35
Speaker 1: what he can do in the first two years in
29:36
Speaker 1: this league. We need to get him more involved in
29:38
Speaker 1: the past game. You know, part of this is because
29:40
Speaker 1: he's a good blocker. He does he does a dirty work.
29:42
Speaker 1: He does everything this team needs him to do. But
29:44
Speaker 1: I want to see him out there getting more targets,
29:47
Speaker 1: making more plays in the past game because he's just
29:48
Speaker 1: too talented to do so. Reminder everyone you can hear
