• 0:11
  Speaker 2: Welcome to another edition of Hawk Talk. It was a
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: special night at Lumen Field. The Seahawks took down the
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: Patriots 13-10. The atmosphere was crazy. Pre-game, it was all
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: responsible about... Looking at the banner. The team got to
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: go out, see the banner dropped. It was a crazy night.
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: Steve Rabel did a great job emceeing the ceremony. Camp
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: Chancellor got everyone out there ready to go. They dropped
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: the banner. Richard Sherman was up there raising the 12
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: flag along with the Coastal family, the new ownership group
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: of the team.
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: 12s were rocking.
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: Cam was there.
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: Did you say Cam? Yeah, I did.
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: All right, all right. Just checking.
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: Give Cam his love. It was one of the best
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: opening day environments I've ever been around for sure.
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: No, it was dope, man.
• 0:49
  Speaker 4: Because Raze was down on the field, I got to
• 0:51
  Speaker 4: be up there with Dave and kind of set the
• 0:54
  Speaker 4: scene and with jen miller down the field no it
• 0:56
  Speaker 4: was cool man first time i've ever been a part
• 0:58
  Speaker 4: of a banner ceremony yes first time for me and
• 1:01
  Speaker 4: uh no the 12s are in their seats early ready to.
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: Go yeah i think that was the earliest i know
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: the seahawks prompted everyone to be in their seats by
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: five but people were oh yeah it's a weekday traffic
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: people were in their seats i've never seen the stadium
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: that full it was a little bit last year um
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: in the playoffs it was close to that but no
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: it was a super dope atmosphere seahawks get the dub
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: um It was the most entertaining, at times sloppy, but just.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: Good football game, good defense, hard nose. It was physical.
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: The Seahawks now 11-game win streak, including the playoffs, ties
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: the longest win streak in franchise history. But let's waste
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: no more time. Let's get right into it, what had happened.
• 1:37
  Speaker 4: See, what had happened was what had happened at first
• 1:40
  Speaker 4: was what had happened was on Hawk Talk.
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: Seahawks came out the gate strong, had back-to-back 13-yard plays.
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: They were rolling with Sam and that first crew. But
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: fizzled out after a penalty, then an incompletion. Then to
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: make matters worse, Darnold gets sacked, but he goes down,
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: comes up limping. I saw it initially as he kind
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: of came off the field. I was like, it doesn't
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: look good.
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: Is that a hit?
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: What is it? We come to find out he injured
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: his hip and wouldn't return to the game. Coach McDonald
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: feels very positive about the injury, thinking it won't be serious.
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: We'll talk about that a little bit later. But a
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: real gut punch to start the game up.
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's not the way you want to start, especially
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: after his first throw to JSM. I'm thinking, ooh, my
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: man is confident. He's looking good.
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: But next man up. So Drew Locke was in.
• 2:19
  Speaker 4: And the first five drives of the game for both
• 2:21
  Speaker 4: teams with in and punts before the Pages marched down
• 2:24
  Speaker 4: the field going 10 plays, 77 yards and a touchdown
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: to make the score 7-0 after a two-yard touchdown. They
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: were helped out big time. There was a PI call
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: against A.J. Brown or against Joe. He was covering A.J.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: Brown.
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: And he just looked a little too late. In real time,
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: I'm like, oh, man, he's got to look for the ball.
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: And when they slowed it down, you see him trying
• 2:43
  Speaker 4: to look for the ball, but he already made contact.
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: Going to throw that flag every time, especially when the
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: receiver is going back for the football.
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: But it is what it is.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it was a good recovery.
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: I mean, it was one of those plays where Brown
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: literally almost stopped playing.
• 2:56
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: So it's kind of just enough to kind of lull
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: you to sleep. Joe had a good recovery speed. He
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: obviously made up for it later in the game.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: But, no, it happens. They get down there. They score.
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: Kind of a little surprising, but a good confidence brooder
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: for the Patriots, thinking, okay, we came into this house.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: We were able to score.
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: For the Seahawks, the next few drives resulted in punts,
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: and the Seahawks went into the locker room trailing seven points.
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: Three at the half. Third quarter also moved pretty slow
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: with the first four possessions. Both teams added some field goals.
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: That made the score 10-3. Bump of intensity of the
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: game really picked.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: Up in the fourth quarter.
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah, man.
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: Drake Bay on his first possession, which was just a
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: sign of things to come.
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: Man, you feel that pressure, man.
• 3:32
  Speaker 4: And the Hawks answered with a five-play 67-yard drive with
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: a 45-yard touchdown that JSN that tied the game. We're
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: going to talk about that later. JSN, sneaky game. Sneaky
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: game last night. On the very next possession, you got
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: Jay Love. He picked off Drake May. Love what he
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: did with the bait on this one. Disguised the coverage
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: in the secondary. This is what a veteran does on
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: the back end. It looked like he was in quarters.
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: Didn't commit too early. Made the play. Flew across the field.
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: Made the catch. The run after the catch, though. I
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: don't think that's getting enough love. He stepped back, snatched
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: some ankles, went down the sideline. He looked good with
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: the ball in his hand.
• 4:07
  Speaker 5: Oh, my.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: He got Dobbs bad on that, too. Just snatched some ankles.
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: And the cool thing, too, is very similar in Not in–
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: this catch was more difficult, but similar to the Super Bowl, right,
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: where he's talking about film study. Hey, when May hits
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: that back foot, that ball's coming out. And then he waited,
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: like you said, baited, went and made that play. The Seahawks, unfortunately,
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: would not score a touchdown off of that. They would
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: kick a field goal, making the score 13-10. The Patriots
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: then bump, answered, coming down the field, 15 plays, 57 yards,
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: a drive that felt like it would just never end.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: They conferred on a fourth and nine.
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: A couple close plays, but ultimately– Drake May was intercepted
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: by Josh Jobe in the end zone. We'll break that
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: down a little bit later with 26 seconds left and
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: seal the deal.
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it was all about the defense. They stole the show.
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: Three sacks, three interceptions, nine tackles for losses, six passes defended,
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: and five QB hits.
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: Hey, going back to J-Love real quick.
• 4:53
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: Second game in a row he intercepted this man. Remember
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: the sound bite in the Super Bowl?
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what I'm talking about.
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: He hits that back when he's going. So J-Love, just
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: a smart football player out there. But Mike McDonald became
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: the first head coach to win more than 10 straight
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: games prior to turning 40. He ain't even 40 yet,
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: and that includes the playoffs in the Super Bowl era.
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: It wasn't the prettiest, but a win's a win.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they all count the same. That's the thing I
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: wrote down. It doesn't matter.
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: You don't get style ports for any of that stuff.
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: And going back to Sam Darnold, that was obviously the
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: biggest thing. I think 12s everywhere, anyone who was at
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: that game was really concerned. The good news looks like
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: Sam Darnold avoided serious injury and any type of fracture
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: in his hip. Coach McDonald said this morning with Brock
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: and Salk that Darnold's hip is intact and it appears
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: the injury is more muscular. Don't know how much time
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: he's going to miss. If any, what's going to happen.
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: But knowing that it's not going to be a season-ending
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: type injury is amazing.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: Obviously, we know what Sam Darnold can do.
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: So obviously, really hoping for a speedy recovery because this
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: team is at its best when he's on the field.
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: But we're going to give Drew Locke a lot of
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: flowers today. But that's why John Snyder has him here
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: because he can come in and help this team win
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: football games.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: But overall bump, now you've had You know, a little
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: bit of time to digest. What did you learn from
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: this game?
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: Hey, these dudes are resilient. You lose your starting quarterback.
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: Your rookie OC loses his starting quarterback after the first drive.
• 6:10
  Speaker 4: Five plays in and you got to go with your
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: number two. You got Nehemiah Pritchett, a guy who's been
• 6:15
  Speaker 4: a special teams guy who made some plays. You had
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: to start Rodney Thomas, who you got from the Colts.
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: It was just I never really felt like these guys
• 6:23
  Speaker 4: were in trouble. I know they were down and things
• 6:25
  Speaker 4: were sloppy at times. But I never really felt like
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: they were incapable of coming back and winning this ballgame.
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: And they showed it, man. You just keep grinding. You
• 6:33
  Speaker 4: got to clean some stuff up, right? Too many penalties.
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: Six penalties for 68 yards in the first half. Ended
• 6:38
  Speaker 4: up with 10, I believe, for a little over 100.
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: I mean, the first half, New England had zero penalties.
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: Ended up with seven. So there was a back and
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: forth when it comes to sloppiness. Got to clean some
• 6:46
  Speaker 4: stuff up.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I know it's the first game of the regular season.
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: Everyone's playing. But yeah, resilience is the word. I mean,
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: just the way that this team battled back going into
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: the game.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: No Emanwari, right? No Okada.
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: You're already banged up in the secondary. So really cool
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: to see those guys step up. And Drew Locke to
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: just be ready.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: That is one of the hardest jobs in America. It
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: looks good. People are like, oh, he's getting paid.
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: He's not playing.
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: You need to be the most prepared guy and then
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: not sometimes get to play as hard enough.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: And then you're thrust into the action. He didn't have
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: any reps.
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: No.
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: Which is insane.
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: No reps are the ones.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: And then to just go out there and do that thing.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: And it's insane.
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: I think Fleury talked about this, and everyone's different. Everyone's
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: talked about the positive and negative. He spoke extensively about
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: positives of being in the booth or on the field.
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: In a game like that, it would have been really hard,
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: in my opinion, obviously, you can say whatever, I don't
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: know anything, but to not be on the field. I
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: think him being on the field was really important in
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: a game like that, just to make sure any of
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: those little details were not missed.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: Hey, face-to-face bump, what's going on? Am I getting the
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: play in quick enough?
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: Talk about the operation, just real quick, a little bit,
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: and how easily they can clean that up going into
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: next week.
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: Well, when we talk operation, we're talking about, okay, receiving
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: the play via the, the headset from OC to quarterback,
• 7:59
  Speaker 4: getting in the huddle, relaying the play, getting to the
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: line of scrimmage, understanding what the audibles are audibly. Sometimes
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: helping your center out when it comes to protection, making
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: sure everyone outside is lined up and ready to go.
• 8:10
  Speaker 4: There are things checklist that happened before a play that
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: needs to run smoothly.
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: That's why it's so crucial.
• 8:16
  Speaker 4: You have a veteran backup in this game because you,
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: He's got 1,000-plus snaps under his belt.
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: He's done this before.
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: So it's all about making sure everyone's where they need
• 8:24
  Speaker 4: to be, the play is communicated, now we're ready to execute,
• 8:27
  Speaker 4: go out and play some ball.
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no, and I think that's something they're going to
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: get cleaned up, especially when you get all those reps
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: and everyone's got a couple games under their belt.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: I think it's going to look up from here. There's
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: a lot of people out there making plays, playmakers.
• 8:41
  Speaker 6: Touchdown, Seahawks!
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: Playmakers we've been talking about the quarterbacks we'll say right
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: there drew lock 16 of 22 187 yards one touchdown
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: zero interception sack just the one time qb rating of
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: 113.3 made a lot of clutch throws in the second
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: half and like i said super impressive he didn't have
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: any reps this week in practice john schneider and everyone
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: on this team is raved about drew lock and that's
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: exactly why i think If you're ever out at a
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: practice this year, the practice we all got to see,
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: Drew has been on fire all offseason.
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: He had a great offseason. Drew was with the Seahawks.
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: He left.
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: It was really important that they got him back in
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: this building for moments like that last night.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: And I just love his demeanor. He's never too high,
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: too low. He's always even keel.
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: Even at the end, right, Milrow's picking him up, trying
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: to celebrate, and he's like, chill, I need to make
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: sure the interception is good.
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: Okay, now I can celebrate. Did he do it?
• 9:35
  Speaker 4: Uh yeah at some point all right cool you know
• 9:37
  Speaker 4: what i like speaking about his demeanor that third and
• 9:40
  Speaker 4: 22 yeah play made to jason that is a confident
• 9:44
  Speaker 4: throw middle of the field safety over the top corner
• 9:48
  Speaker 4: underneath mike or the robber going to the football the
• 9:50
  Speaker 4: window is like three or four yards wide and to
• 9:53
  Speaker 4: make that throw on third and 22 i'm thinking i
• 9:56
  Speaker 4: run the ball let's play a field position game and
• 9:58
  Speaker 4: let's go but they said nah i'm making this throw
• 10:00
  Speaker 4: so perfect example of drew staying ready man next up
• 10:04
  Speaker 4: we got the best receiver in the league jackson smith
• 10:07
  Speaker 4: and jig but once again second year in a row
• 10:09
  Speaker 4: he went for 124 last year game one no touchdowns
• 10:11
  Speaker 4: he goes for 122 this year with a touchdown on
• 10:14
  Speaker 4: eight receptions Long of 45. He passed Joey Galloway for
• 10:18
  Speaker 4: 9th place on Seattle's all-time receptions list with 290. Passed
• 10:22
  Speaker 4: Korn Robinson 10th place on Seattle's all-time receiving yards list
• 10:25
  Speaker 4: with 3,673. He continues to show why he's that dude, man.
• 10:29
  Speaker 4: He just gets open. I watch every route that he ran,
• 10:33
  Speaker 4: and his style is so unpredictable. Usually when you're running routes,
• 10:37
  Speaker 4: you look at Justin Jefferson, old-school Devontae Adams, and everything
• 10:41
  Speaker 4: is so sharp and linear.
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: And routes that are typically... sharp and linear.
• 10:45
  Speaker 4: He smooths out but because he's so deceptive at the
• 10:48
  Speaker 4: top of his routes he's able to get away with
• 10:49
  Speaker 4: that stuff it's just fun to watch him play man
• 10:52
  Speaker 4: and it's fun to hear how humble he is after
• 10:54
  Speaker 4: the games too.
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah no question about it and like when hard
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: knocks did that big feature on him like showing like
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: the overhead angle which was really cool of all the
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: routes he was running talked about he's so hard to
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: defend as a db because it looks the same yeah
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: it's the way his body control where he's at he's
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: not He's not crazy speeding up or down. It's all
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: feels the same. And to some, it feels like it's
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: in slow motion, but yet here he is running past people.
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: And it's just, he's best in the game for a reason.
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: Jackson Smith and Jake, but around the Seahawks for a
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: long time coming.
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: We'll stay on offense. Jadarian price, man. We need to
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: see more just straight up.
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: I know they're ramping them up and I know there's
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: a greater plan because he needs to get through every
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: game this year to help the Seahawks get to where
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: they want to go.
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: But I saw it.
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: Everything that we heard about in the off season, everything
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: we've heard about from Notre Dame to getting here, He
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: had 10 carries, 52 yards, two receptions for six yards,
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: multiple 10-yard runs. He was explosive. He fell forward. He's
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: more physical than I think people would give him credit for.
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: And I just want to see him tote the rock.
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: He's a guy that could easily have 15 to 20
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: carries every single game. We'll see what happens when Sharps
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: comes back. But from what we saw in limited action
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: in one game, that was a hell of a debut.
• 11:59
  Speaker 4: He's the fastest running back this organization has ever had.
• 12:01
  Speaker 4: I'm going to say it right now. He's faster than Sean.
• 12:04
  Speaker 4: Sean's great. I'm not hating on Sean Alexander. MVP, faster
• 12:07
  Speaker 4: than Carson, faster than Lynch.
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: He has his own style.
• 12:10
  Speaker 4: I was trying to look for a comp, but I
• 12:11
  Speaker 4: can't find one right now. But he's decisive. I mean,
• 12:14
  Speaker 4: 13 yards on his first carry in the league says
• 12:17
  Speaker 4: something about him. Can't wait to see what he does
• 12:19
  Speaker 4: when they ramp up. Only 10 carries, but he'll get
• 12:22
  Speaker 4: some more. Jay Love, man, the general in the back.
• 12:24
  Speaker 4: Six tackles, two TFLs, one pass defended, one interception. I
• 12:28
  Speaker 4: love the interception, but I really love the TFL, man.
• 12:30
  Speaker 4: When he shot the A, the B gap, boom, hits
• 12:32
  Speaker 4: the running back.
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: In the backfield.
• 12:34
  Speaker 4: I believe it was him and Lawrence getting after it
• 12:37
  Speaker 4: on a third and short or a fourth down. J-Love
• 12:40
  Speaker 4: picking up where he left off. Picked off Dre in
• 12:42
  Speaker 4: the Super Bowl. Drake in the Super Bowl. Picked him
• 12:44
  Speaker 4: off now. J-Love, the general, doing his thing. He just moved, man.
• 12:49
  Speaker 4: The president, whatever you want to call J-Love, he holds
• 12:52
  Speaker 4: it down in the secondary. For all the angst about
• 12:54
  Speaker 4: people not playing, J-Love is really that anchor back there.
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: It helps things out.
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: Nehemiah Pritchett, dude, six tackles, two pass defended, one interception.
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: Super happy for him because the whole offseason, one of
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: the biggest conversations, right, it was running back and it
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: was third corner, right? And throughout all the offseason, you're
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: looking to battle him and Noah Gronogany, and then you
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: bring in Diggs, right? And then Arnold might be eventually
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: a part of this thing. And you bring on all
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: these people. Avery Smith comes in last minute. And all
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: these people are thinking, okay, well, they're coming for this job.
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: But what does he do? He's out there. He's playing
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: a ton of the snaps. I think he played, I
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: wrote it down here, 75% of the snaps. And he
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: played his best game that I've seen him play in
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: a Seahawks uniform. And I don't think it's close. He
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: made some good open field plays.
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: He's making plays on the football and made a couple,
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: a nice PBU on AJ Brown. I think the one
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: where he got injured, but he just, he looked great.
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: And I was good, happy for him.
• 13:43
  Speaker 4: Love the interception. You be where you're supposed to be.
• 13:45
  Speaker 4: Your safety tips to football. You get the interception, but
• 13:48
  Speaker 4: you mentioned it. The open field tackles were impressive. That
• 13:51
  Speaker 4: is a lonely feeling being in an open field one-on-one
• 13:54
  Speaker 4: with a pass catcher or running back and you going
• 13:57
  Speaker 4: down there and making a play. Happy for Nehemiah. And
• 14:00
  Speaker 4: Josh Jobe, man, started off a little rough. Got that
• 14:03
  Speaker 4: pass interference on the flea flicker to A.J.
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: Brown.
• 14:05
  Speaker 4: But he ends up with six tackles, one pass to
• 14:07
  Speaker 4: defend it, one TFL. The interception to seal the game.
• 14:11
  Speaker 4: And that was some receiver stuff. Locate the football. Hands
• 14:15
  Speaker 4: two feet in. Happy for Josh Jobe. Let's keep it rolling.
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Bump.
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: And this will be brief, obviously, looking at the wide receivers.
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: What did you see from those guys as a unit?
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: I saw JSM.
• 14:26
  Speaker 4: I saw jsn 11 targets eight receptions 122 cooper cup
• 14:30
  Speaker 4: did have a clutch one-hand catch being held those dbs
• 14:34
  Speaker 4: are sneaky man holding that off arm he got that
• 14:37
  Speaker 4: done should have had or almost had a touchdown a
• 14:40
  Speaker 4: callback for illegal formation aj barner had two for 13
• 14:43
  Speaker 4: expect him to get more involved brady ross had two
• 14:45
  Speaker 4: for 20 price had two for six rashid shaheed had
• 14:48
  Speaker 4: one for four can't wait until they unlock him too.
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah no question about it i think When this offense
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: gets gelling, whether that's Locke ready to go or when
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: Sam comes back, I think a lot of those numbers
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: are going to go up. And we've talked about this
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: a lot on the post-game show and throughout time because
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: a lot of people are really concerned about, okay, well,
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: JSN is getting all the targets.
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: Brian Walters talks about this all the time. Brian's like,
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: I'm okay. JSN can't get all those targets because if
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: he's going to put up over 100 yards every single
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: game with an explosive touchdown, yeah, we'll take it.
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: Stop him.
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: Exactly. There's a reason why he does what he does.
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: Now we'll flip it over. Talking plays of the game.
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: Speaking of that guy, Jackson's mythic jig, but he took
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: it 45 yards to the house on this touchdown from
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: drew lock play fake.
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: Drew looks drew throws ball is caught. Guess who?
• 15:31
  Speaker 6: Jason Briggs and tackle 30, 25, 20.
• 15:32
  Speaker 5: He is touchdown. Seahawks J S N on a quick
• 15:42
  Speaker 5: turn in takes it 45 yards runs right through the
• 15:46
  Speaker 5: heart of the Patriot defense. And he lances their heart
• 15:50
  Speaker 5: with what JSN does best.
• 15:53
  Speaker 6: He breaks away for a big six points, and the
• 15:57
  Speaker 6: Seahawks are a point away for tying.
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: This one up.
• 16:02
  Speaker 4: Yeah, this one's interesting. The more I look at it,
• 16:04
  Speaker 4: the more I try to understand what's going on. So
• 16:08
  Speaker 4: the offensive line looks like they might be running the screen.
• 16:11
  Speaker 4: The tackle's being locked on, especially on the backside. Makes
• 16:14
  Speaker 4: you think, all right, maybe they're not running the screen.
• 16:16
  Speaker 4: Maybe just the middle of the offensive line got beat.
• 16:18
  Speaker 4: Either way, all right, it's fourth and one. You're in
• 16:21
  Speaker 4: a clear running formation. You got Drew Locke, pivots, fakes
• 16:24
  Speaker 4: the handoff to the fullback, it looks like, flips his
• 16:27
  Speaker 4: hips around, and there are two to three defenders right
• 16:30
  Speaker 4: in his face. On the other side, you got JSN
• 16:32
  Speaker 4: lined up one-on-one on the outside with Christian Gonzalez, just
• 16:35
  Speaker 4: got paid. He reacts to the running back. Looks like
• 16:37
  Speaker 4: they're in cover two. He goes to the running back
• 16:39
  Speaker 4: right now. Running back runs to the flat. He got
• 16:40
  Speaker 4: some coverage. My question is, did JSN make an adjustment
• 16:44
  Speaker 4: or is this a route? Either way, him and Drew
• 16:46
  Speaker 4: Locke are on the same page. JSN gets five yards
• 16:48
  Speaker 4: up the field, turns around, you get him the football,
• 16:50
  Speaker 4: and this is all flick of the wrist from Drew Locke.
• 16:52
  Speaker 4: Flick of the wrist, get it to JSN, and now
• 16:54
  Speaker 4: he gets vertical. They say he ran a 4-5. Gameplay,
• 16:58
  Speaker 4: he's a 4-3, 4-4. Just gets up the field, turns
• 17:01
  Speaker 4: on the burners, and remind folks why he got paid.
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, great throw by Drew. JSN does the rest.
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: It's hard to call someone like Jason sneaky fast, but
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: clearly it's deceptive to DBs that are supposed to be
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: faster than him, and yet he is constantly getting behind people,
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: running past them on all these kind of plays.
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: For me, big shout-out, though, to A.J. Barner and Eric
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: Saubert on this play.
• 17:25
  Speaker 5: A.J.
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: Barner runs his little drag, and he gets out and blocks.
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: He has that touchdown ceiling block. It's just enough of
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: the backside safety. He gets there. Eric Saubert, the linebacker
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: kind of follows him, or Barner might have flipped that.
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: But he comes back and makes a really heads-up play.
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: Don't get a block in the back.
• 17:39
  Speaker 5: Please.
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: Don't get a penalty. You just got the first down.
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: He lays off. Jason does the rest into the end zone.
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: Got to love it, man. I mean, every– I think
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: with Brian Fleury moving forward, that's such a good, cool
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: weapon to have. What are different ways can I get
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: this man the football?
• 17:55
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: From all different spots in Jason. When he gets the ball,
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: he does damage. The other play you want to look at,
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: this sealed the game. Josh Jobe picking off Drake May
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: in the end zone.
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: Shotgun snap. Looks to the end zone. Now he wants
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: to throw it up for grabs. He does.
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: It's intercepted.
• 18:11
  Speaker 5: Did he keep his toes in? Did he keep his
• 18:13
  Speaker 5: toes in? He did. It's intercepted in the end zone.
• 18:17
  Speaker 5: Holy catfish. The third pick of the night by the Seahawks.
• 18:23
  Speaker 5: And it's Josh Jobe. He ran a better route than
• 18:27
  Speaker 5: the receiver.
• 18:29
  Speaker 6: Tippy-toed on the end line, kept his feet in, and
• 18:33
  Speaker 6: keeps the Patriots out of the end zone. The coaches
• 18:37
  Speaker 6: are going absolutely nuts in the booth next to us.
• 18:41
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it looks like they're in man formation, or man defense,
• 18:45
  Speaker 4: excuse me. You got two receivers to the left of
• 18:48
  Speaker 4: Drake May. You got one receiver to the right, Iso.
• 18:52
  Speaker 4: You got Jobe against Collins. Where Collins messes up, is
• 18:55
  Speaker 4: he inside releases a goal route inside release. And that
• 18:59
  Speaker 4: allows Joe to be in great position. If you're going
• 19:01
  Speaker 4: to inside release, you got to widen that DV as
• 19:03
  Speaker 4: much as you can.
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: But Joe, he's really in okay position.
• 19:08
  Speaker 4: But if Drake can throw this football, step into it
• 19:10
  Speaker 4: and throw it, he's probably put in the back of
• 19:11
  Speaker 4: the end zone or only where Collins can get it.
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: Why is not able to do that? Mr.
• 19:16
  Speaker 4: D law beats to tackle gets in Drake's face. He's
• 19:19
  Speaker 4: not able to throw that football. It gets on his
• 19:20
  Speaker 4: back foot and lobs one up because Joe was in
• 19:23
  Speaker 4: great position and he's now able to play defense box
• 19:26
  Speaker 4: out the receiver make a play on the football get
• 19:29
  Speaker 4: two feet in this is just this is why i
• 19:31
  Speaker 4: wasn't obviously i was concerned a bit about the the
• 19:35
  Speaker 4: dbs being banged up but i knew the d-line was
• 19:37
  Speaker 4: gonna help him out like that's what happened all night
• 19:40
  Speaker 4: the d-line getting in drake's face and not allowing him
• 19:43
  Speaker 4: to step in the throws especially in the second half
• 19:45
  Speaker 4: first half was a bit of a struggle second half
• 19:46
  Speaker 4: they got things going this is just hey, one-on-one, let's
• 19:49
  Speaker 4: get it. My D-line is going to make you throw
• 19:52
  Speaker 4: a horrible pass to your receiver.
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and I love Joe just on the finish, right?
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: You high point it. You get both feet in like
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: your receiver. Love seeing that. I love also, well, actually,
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: before I continue with Flowers, in that situation, would you
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: be having your tackles cut their bump? Was that interesting?
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that was interesting. And also, Was it 31? It
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: was short, yeah. Third and short. Drake lived to fight
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: another day.
• 20:15
  Speaker 4: If there's D-Law, if D-Law's right there, throw that thing
• 20:17
  Speaker 4: out the back of the end zone, kick a field goal.
• 20:19
  Speaker 4: I was getting ready for overtime saying, we're going to
• 20:21
  Speaker 4: be here until 2 a.m.
• 20:23
  Speaker 3: But it didn't happen that way. But, yeah, cutting that side,
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: that's interesting.
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: And D-Law, that's teach tape, defeating the cup, and just
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: being fundamentally sound.
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: Joe finishing the play.
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: Everything's sound in the secondary in terms of passing routes,
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: locking up. And also what I love, too, no one's
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: covering air. Everyone is on somebody. There's nothing there. So, Drake,
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: to your point, that pass can't get thrown.
• 20:44
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: It just cannot get thrown. But that's how good this
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: even is. They'll bait you into things and speed you
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: up and make you do things you didn't want to do.
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: That's what happened to Drake May there. And it was
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: all she wrote for the Patriots. Same fate they suffered
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: in the Super Bowl bump. And then we got to
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: see our favorite formation, victory formation.
• 21:03
  Speaker 6: Here comes the Seahawks offense onto the field and the
• 21:06
  Speaker 6: Vikings defense trudging out there. knowing that one kneel down
• 21:12
  Speaker 6: and the seahawks are going to wind the clock down and.
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: Win this one it's the victory formation on hawk talk.
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: Man wasn't like i said always pretty but it's a
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: season opener and the hawks did what they had to
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: do and they made tons of plays and that's the
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: kind of football we love to see around this team
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: around this parts you know i'm saying with coach mcdonald
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: that's how they want to play defensive football and then
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: in the second half seahawks have now won 11 straight
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: games a franchise record so they're on they're on a
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: great start to the 2026.
• 21:36
  Speaker 4: Season Three sacks, three interceptions, nine TFL, six passes defended,
• 21:42
  Speaker 4: and five quarterback hits. Not bad for this defense, and
• 21:45
  Speaker 4: great game by the secondary. Guys were banged up. You
• 21:48
  Speaker 4: got Pritchett with an interception. You got Joe with an interception.
• 21:51
  Speaker 4: There's a general, Jay Love, back there with an interception.
• 21:54
  Speaker 4: It looked good, man. And I know it started off bad.
• 21:57
  Speaker 4: Sam Donald's hurt, but it doesn't look serious. So thank you,
• 22:01
  Speaker 4: football gods, for that one.
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: Yep, we'll continue to stay posted on CIS.com and all
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: the channels for status updates with sam darnold's injury but
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: it's looking like we avoided a serious injury like you
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: said so praise the football gods on that one and
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: if drew law continues to play i'm excited to see
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: what he can do to this team and help and
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: just kind of clean up that operation and just continue
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: to make plays and be the guy that we know
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: he can be i'm also excited to see what jadarian
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: price yeah what can he do moving forward as a
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: unit i think he's a guy that's going to have
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: some 100 yard games in this future absolutely so it's
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: uh it's kind of nice obviously you know Playing a
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: game on a Wednesday feels like a normal week. The Thursday,
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: it's really hard on the turnaround, right? Not saying these
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: guys are fresh. They went through a long training camp. But, like,
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: to have this game not be off for a short week,
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: and now you get an extended amount. That's huge for
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: this team, whether it could happen with injury-wise and just
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: getting healthy.
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: Heal up.
• 22:50
  Speaker 3: Enjoy it. Get ready to go, man. I'm excited.
• 22:53
  Speaker 4: The season is off to a great one. Last time
• 22:55
  Speaker 4: this year, we were 0-1 and won a Super Bowl championship.
• 22:59
  Speaker 4: We're flipping it 1-0 on the quest for two.
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: Absolutely. It was fun. Thanks for hanging out with us.
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: We'll be back with you next Thursday previewing the Arizona Cardinals,
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: the Seahawks' next opponent.
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: Until then, he's Michael Bumpus. I'm Nassif Chobi. This has
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: been Hawk Talk.
