0:27
Speaker 2: out of Washington State has found himself a place on
0:30
Speaker 2: this team.
0:31
Speaker 1: Now, here's your host, Nasa Chobee.
0:34
Speaker 3: Welcome in, Welcome into another edition of Hawk Talk. The
0:37
Speaker 3: Seahawks getting ready to take on the Arizona Cardinals, hoping
0:40
Speaker 3: to get back in the wind call after a tough
0:42
Speaker 3: lossing into Cincinnati Bengals last week.
0:44
Speaker 1: But that was last week.
0:45
Speaker 3: The Seahawks were back at practice this week, getting ready
0:48
Speaker 3: to go taking on those Arizona Cardinals.
0:50
Speaker 1: What's on tap? What's on tap?
0:57
Speaker 3: Bump These Cardinals man one in five place in the
1:00
Speaker 3: NFC West, but they're kind of it's an interesting one
1:03
Speaker 3: to five man because they haven't been dogged every week.
1:05
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying. They've showed up, They've competed.
1:07
Speaker 3: They lost to the Commanders, Giants, beat the Cowboys, lost
1:11
Speaker 3: to the Niners at Bengals and Rams. But a tough
1:14
Speaker 3: year for first year head coach Jonathan Gannon. They're in
1:16
Speaker 3: last place, two heartbreaking losses, two games that they've been
1:20
Speaker 3: competitive in.
1:21
Speaker 1: They've kind of shown up.
1:22
Speaker 3: They were in the Rams game, in the Niners game
1:25
Speaker 3: for a little bit, then they just kind of fell
1:27
Speaker 3: apart at the end. But they're hard to get a
1:29
Speaker 3: read on. You know, I'll say this off top. I
1:31
Speaker 3: think this is a game the Sea Oak should win
1:33
Speaker 3: and this should be a get right game for him.
1:35
Speaker 1: But we were just saying it off there.
1:36
Speaker 3: You got to respect the opponent, especially coming off a
1:39
Speaker 3: lost bump. But what have you seen from the Cardinals,
1:41
Speaker 3: specifically in their last game against the Rams.
1:44
Speaker 4: The Rams, when you think of the Rams, right, you
1:46
Speaker 4: think of offense, but you don't necessarily think of running
1:48
Speaker 4: the ball, and they were able to do that against
1:51
Speaker 4: the Cardinals. Rookie not rookie, but second year a guy,
1:53
Speaker 4: Kyvin Williams rush for one hundred and fifty eight yards.
1:55
Speaker 1: He is banged up now, but he did his thing.
1:59
Speaker 4: He produced It was the best individual performance in nearly
2:02
Speaker 4: three years, despite just getting four yards from two carries
2:05
Speaker 4: in the first half. Man, that dude was balling it
2:08
Speaker 4: round four season high one hundred and seventy nine yards
2:10
Speaker 4: and ran the ball twenty five times in the second half,
2:12
Speaker 4: including at one point eight straight runs.
2:14
Speaker 1: Man.
2:14
Speaker 4: They kept giving it to the guy and say, run
2:16
Speaker 4: that thing, Arizona.
2:18
Speaker 1: It was tight.
2:18
Speaker 4: I remember looking at this game where we're in the
2:20
Speaker 4: studio watching him, and it was tight at first. Arizona
2:23
Speaker 4: actually led nine to six at halftime with Joshua Dobbs.
2:26
Speaker 4: He threw a red zone interception and fumbled on his
2:28
Speaker 4: sector in the second half and the La Rams ran
2:30
Speaker 4: away with that thing Man, winning twenty six to nine.
2:34
Speaker 4: The Rams scored twenty one points in the second half
2:37
Speaker 4: in Cooper Cup.
2:37
Speaker 1: Welcome back. I think it's a second game.
2:39
Speaker 4: He had one hundred and forty eight yards and seven receptions.
2:42
Speaker 4: The Cardinals couldn't get much going. Dobbs was twenty one
2:44
Speaker 4: to forty one. I'm surprised for allowing him to throw
2:47
Speaker 4: the ball that much, right, twenty one and thirty five yards,
2:51
Speaker 4: one interception, and he was their leading rusher with forty
2:54
Speaker 4: seven yards and seven carries. That's not good. To make
2:57
Speaker 4: things worse for the Cardinals. Their team is still pretty
3:00
Speaker 4: banged up. You got cornerback Antonio Hamilton, he has an
3:03
Speaker 4: injured grown in the fourth quarter, both starting safety set
3:06
Speaker 4: out Jalen Thompson missed his first game of the season
3:09
Speaker 4: with a handstring, Buddha Bakers on injured reserve. These guys
3:12
Speaker 4: are banged up, and then the guy who they expect
3:14
Speaker 4: to run the ball, James Connor, also set off for
3:17
Speaker 4: the first time this season after going on the IR
3:20
Speaker 4: The russcu'se not the Rams. The Cardinals are banged up,
3:24
Speaker 4: but like we said, respect the opponents.
3:27
Speaker 3: Yeah, and fresh off the presses today at Arizona. Looks
3:30
Speaker 3: like Buddha Baker has now returned to practice. Doesn't mean
3:32
Speaker 3: he's gonna play against the Seahawks on Sunday. Would be
3:35
Speaker 3: kind of a nice homecoming for Buddha, who obviously played
3:38
Speaker 3: at Bellevue High School and then went on to start
3:40
Speaker 3: University of Washington before getting drafted and paid by the
3:43
Speaker 3: Arizona Cardinals. So we'll stay tuned on Buddha if he's
3:45
Speaker 3: coming back, and then Kyler Murray returned to practice as well,
3:48
Speaker 3: but I would not expect to see him.
3:50
Speaker 1: For a very long time.
3:53
Speaker 3: Well at least, you know, I don't think they're gonna
3:54
Speaker 3: rush anything back at this point. I feel like I
3:57
Speaker 3: don't think this season, none of the players who are
4:00
Speaker 3: playing would say that they are punting the season away.
4:03
Speaker 1: But I don't think there's.
4:03
Speaker 3: Any rush to get a guy like Kler Murray, who
4:06
Speaker 3: needs who's their franchise back on the field, especially with
4:08
Speaker 3: a season like this.
4:09
Speaker 1: So we'll see. We got to respect the opponent.
4:11
Speaker 3: I think the Seahawks have a better roster, but they've
4:14
Speaker 3: done some good things and they got some good players,
4:16
Speaker 3: and we'll jump in his head to head comparison. Right here,
4:19
Speaker 3: we're looking offensively, the Cardinals are actually better than you'd
4:23
Speaker 3: think looking at their record. They're fifteenth in the NFL,
4:25
Speaker 3: so they're right in the middle, essentially averaging three hundred
4:29
Speaker 3: and thirty one yards per game. They're sixth in rush
4:32
Speaker 3: offense one hundred and forty one yards per game, which
4:34
Speaker 3: is one that really surprised me. That might just be
4:36
Speaker 3: you know, in games when they've gotten behind. They just
4:38
Speaker 3: ran that thing and you have a quarterback that's also running,
4:40
Speaker 3: but still a really good stat six In the NFL,
4:43
Speaker 3: they're twenty fifth when it comes to passing offense one
4:45
Speaker 3: hundred and ninety yards per game, and they're twentieth in
4:47
Speaker 3: points per game at nineteen point five. When you flip
4:50
Speaker 3: it over on the Seahawks side, Seahawks are trending a
4:52
Speaker 3: little bit back towards where they were. They're fourteenth overall
4:55
Speaker 3: in total offense three hundred thirty two yards a game,
4:58
Speaker 3: twentieth running the ball dred four yards a game, eleven
5:01
Speaker 3: passing ball to twenty seven a game, and they're eighth
5:04
Speaker 3: in points per game at twenty four. That dropped a
5:06
Speaker 3: little bit after and not scoring a lot of points
5:08
Speaker 3: against the Cincinnati Bengals. But looking at these two teams offensively, bump,
5:13
Speaker 3: it's actually pretty It's a lot closer than you think.
5:15
Speaker 3: They seem to seem really even offensively. But then you
5:18
Speaker 3: look at the personnel, and we're gonna get in a matchress.
5:19
Speaker 3: So you look at the Seahawks and Gino and DK
5:21
Speaker 3: and Tyler and Kanine and.
5:24
Speaker 1: Jackson fit the jig butt Now Jake Bubboll.
5:25
Speaker 3: You look at all these guys and you look at
5:26
Speaker 3: Arizona and you're not gonna have Connor anymore. DeAndre Hopkins
5:30
Speaker 3: is not in the building anymore. You know what I'm saying.
5:32
Speaker 3: They have some good receivers, which we'll get to later.
5:35
Speaker 3: Zach Ertz is there. He's a little bit older now.
5:37
Speaker 3: It's just not the same and especially without Kyler Murray.
5:39
Speaker 3: Joshua Dobbs is doing his thing as much as he can.
5:42
Speaker 3: But I'm actually surprised where their numbers are at. But
5:45
Speaker 3: I definitely give the Seahawks the advantage over comparing both offenses.
5:49
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm really surprised at the overall rank of their offense,
5:52
Speaker 4: and especially in the run game Man number six overall,
5:55
Speaker 4: buck forty one. The Hawks would love to be in
5:57
Speaker 4: their shoes there. Let's go round the defense now. Hawks
6:00
Speaker 4: are sixteenth overall, fifth winning against the run, and they
6:03
Speaker 4: are twenty eighth against the pass and eighteenth when it
6:07
Speaker 4: comes to points allowed. For the Cardinals twenty eighth overall,
6:09
Speaker 4: twenty fourth against the run, twenty second against the pass,
6:12
Speaker 4: in twenty seventh when it comes giving a points or
6:14
Speaker 4: giving them twenty seven points per game.
6:17
Speaker 1: Both teams have four interceptions to their name. Both teams
6:21
Speaker 1: have a bunch of penalties.
6:23
Speaker 4: I was talking about it earlier today with Stacy that
6:26
Speaker 4: if the Hawks can clean something up, I think it'd
6:28
Speaker 4: be the penalties. Had a couple of costly ones last week.
6:32
Speaker 4: But I don't think they're not a disciplined team. But
6:35
Speaker 4: that's a sign of an undisciplined team. So just clean
6:37
Speaker 4: it up, man. We know we know they can play
6:39
Speaker 4: some clean football.
6:40
Speaker 1: Yeah, no question about it.
6:41
Speaker 3: And looking at the defensive numbers you just ran through bump,
6:44
Speaker 3: the Seahawks definitely had that advantage. They're playing a lot
6:46
Speaker 3: of good ball, especially given the performance they just had
6:48
Speaker 3: against Cincinnati Cardinals. Will struggled a little bit, man, They've
6:51
Speaker 3: struggled were guys, especially against the Rams last week where
6:53
Speaker 3: they kind of just imposed their will against them running
6:55
Speaker 3: the football. So again, advantage Seahawks in terms of the
6:58
Speaker 3: head to head comparison. But there's a reason you play
7:00
Speaker 3: the games. And I was just chatting with the producer
7:02
Speaker 3: for my counterpart with the Arizona Cardinals and these games
7:06
Speaker 3: with Seattle. Man, the Seattle's won three or four, but
7:10
Speaker 3: nothing's guaranteed. It's a divisional matchup. There's been a lot
7:12
Speaker 3: of weird games in the history of these two teams,
7:14
Speaker 3: even when the Seahawks will winning Super Bowls. So definitely
7:17
Speaker 3: don't count the Cardinals out. And while we're talking about
7:19
Speaker 3: old games, let's.
7:20
Speaker 1: Know the history, no your history.
7:24
Speaker 3: Seahawks lead the all time series twenty five to twenty
7:26
Speaker 3: two and one and have won four of their last
7:29
Speaker 3: five meetings. Last time these guys matched up, the Seahawks
7:32
Speaker 3: went down to the desert beating the Cardinals thirty one
7:34
Speaker 3: twenty one last November. And this where things are real good,
7:38
Speaker 3: things are rolling. The Seahawks has picked up their sixth
7:40
Speaker 3: win of the year. They went to six and three
7:42
Speaker 3: at that point, and honestly, this was one of the
7:46
Speaker 3: times last season where you really started to feel like
7:49
Speaker 3: Gino Smith has got something. I don't remember if you
7:51
Speaker 3: remember this game bump. He has a really unlucky ball,
7:54
Speaker 3: It gets tipped, intercepted, ran back for a touchdown. Cardinals
7:57
Speaker 3: take the lead, and right when you kind of feel
7:59
Speaker 3: like things could be going the other way, No genocolm
8:02
Speaker 3: cool and collected responds on offense with drives of seventy
8:06
Speaker 3: five eighty one eighty five yards down the stretch, pushing
8:09
Speaker 3: the Seahawks to that thirty one to twenty one victory.
8:12
Speaker 3: Gino had a great day two hundred seventy five yards
8:14
Speaker 3: two touchdowns while Canine rookie had one hundred nine yards
8:17
Speaker 3: and two touchdowns. No fanse got in the action when
8:20
Speaker 3: ninety six yards on five receptions. Jordan Brooks laid the
8:23
Speaker 3: team in tackles and u Chenna Nuosu had two picks
8:26
Speaker 3: for excuming two sacks of Kyler Murray in that game.
8:29
Speaker 3: So hoping to see a lot more of that. Hoping
8:31
Speaker 3: to see Gino bounce back performance and handle things against
8:33
Speaker 3: these Cardinals. But things are always tough in the NFC West.
8:37
Speaker 3: Both check on everybody else. What's the word side?
8:44
Speaker 2: The Seahawks were the NFC West champs.
8:46
Speaker 1: Again, what's the word in the West? On Hawk Talk?
8:52
Speaker 4: Ah Let's take a look at the division man. The
8:55
Speaker 4: Hawks took an l last week but sold it. The
8:57
Speaker 4: San Francisco forty nine is there now five in one.
9:00
Speaker 4: Seattle was right behind them at three and two. The
9:02
Speaker 4: Rams are three and three and the Cardinals are one
9:05
Speaker 4: and five.
9:05
Speaker 1: He had a good game last week.
9:06
Speaker 4: The forty nine ers went over to Cleveland, but they
9:10
Speaker 4: took a loss. Man Brock Purty got his first loss
9:13
Speaker 4: as a starter in the NFL. Man, and it snapped
9:16
Speaker 4: the forty nine to fifteen game regular season win streak
9:20
Speaker 4: twenty three year old Party Man.
9:21
Speaker 1: He's had such a great.
9:23
Speaker 4: Start to his career, perfect in the regular season, said
9:25
Speaker 4: ten regular season starts, all of them wins. Has the
9:28
Speaker 4: highest passer rating through those ten games, one hundred and
9:31
Speaker 4: twenty one point one. But he took an l and
9:34
Speaker 4: he lost to PJ Walker.
9:35
Speaker 1: Man.
9:35
Speaker 4: PJ Walker such an interesting quarterback. I mean, I think
9:38
Speaker 4: he started with the Carolina Panthers. Was he in the
9:41
Speaker 4: AFL or wherever that league was called a.
9:43
Speaker 3: I think he's af XFL all of them when he
9:47
Speaker 3: was doing his thing.
9:48
Speaker 4: Well, one of them things Man and PJ Walker got
9:51
Speaker 4: himself a win. But things started off well for the
9:53
Speaker 4: forty nine ers. They took the opening possession eighty four
9:55
Speaker 4: yards on five plays. Christian McCaffrey another touchdown for Rock Party.
10:00
Speaker 4: After a couple of missfield goals, the forty nine Ers
10:02
Speaker 4: increased their lead to ten zero with a twenty five
10:04
Speaker 4: yard field goal from Jake Moody.
10:06
Speaker 1: The Browns say, you know, we got a answer for you.
10:08
Speaker 4: They put together a solid drive five plays eighty three yards,
10:12
Speaker 4: ending with the Kareem Hunt touchdown that was set about
10:15
Speaker 4: fifty eight yard pass to Amari Cooper, one of the
10:17
Speaker 4: more underrated receivers in the league.
10:18
Speaker 1: Too.
10:19
Speaker 4: Man, I think Amari Cooper doesn't get the love that
10:21
Speaker 4: he deserves. But he is paid though, so maybe he's
10:24
Speaker 4: not really ready if because my man is paid. That
10:27
Speaker 4: made the score ten to seven to Both teams went
10:29
Speaker 4: into the half and the second half, the Browns will
10:31
Speaker 4: put together four field goal drives and left the door
10:34
Speaker 4: open for the forty nine is a slave. The only
10:37
Speaker 4: touchdown in the second half for the forty nine Ers
10:39
Speaker 4: came after Brown's interception that.
10:41
Speaker 1: Leonor ran back to the eight yard line.
10:44
Speaker 4: Jordan Mason would score a rushing touchdown on the next
10:47
Speaker 4: play after Dustin Hopkins for fourth field goal.
10:51
Speaker 1: Today, Goodness Graces, all they did was kickfield goals.
10:53
Speaker 4: This feels like a Friday night game in the Northwest
10:55
Speaker 4: when his igning between two high schools.
10:58
Speaker 1: Man, goodness gracious, the Niners will go.
11:00
Speaker 4: We'll get the ball back down nineteen to seventeen with
11:03
Speaker 4: above forty remaining. Then brock Purty will lead the Niners
11:06
Speaker 4: down the field getting to the Browns twenty three yard line.
11:09
Speaker 4: Heartbreaking for the forty nine ers. Man, this is crazy.
11:11
Speaker 4: Jake Boody within missed a game winning field goal forty
11:14
Speaker 4: three yard as time expires. I saw the reaction of
11:17
Speaker 4: Cleveland fans all across the country.
11:20
Speaker 1: I didn't believe it. They didn't believe it.
11:23
Speaker 4: That was an interesting game, but we knew this was
11:25
Speaker 4: going to be a tough one, right because the Cleveland
11:27
Speaker 4: Browns defense is something special. You got a great defensive line.
11:30
Speaker 4: They played a lot of man on the back end.
11:32
Speaker 4: I think that's what forced a lot of these bath
11:34
Speaker 4: throws by brock Purty. He's just seeing these zones and
11:37
Speaker 4: influencing guys going left and right.
11:39
Speaker 1: He didn't have those windows that used to see him.
11:41
Speaker 4: Pretty finished to day with was twelve to twenty seven,
11:44
Speaker 4: four Buck twenty five, one touchdown, one interception. McCaffrey had
11:47
Speaker 4: forty three yards and eleven carries, and Brendan and Ayuk
11:50
Speaker 4: had four receptions for seventy six yards.
11:53
Speaker 3: Yeah, man, bump, I listen, we were all sitting there
11:56
Speaker 3: during our post game show was on the air at
11:57
Speaker 3: that point and right when that's score and that kick
12:01
Speaker 3: was missed. We're all like, I feel a little better. Yeah,
12:04
Speaker 3: feel just like a little bit better. And I feel
12:06
Speaker 3: like all Seahawks fans kind of felt that same way.
12:09
Speaker 3: And I'm not saying it because the fort nine Ers
12:11
Speaker 3: are a good football team. But did the Browns try
12:14
Speaker 3: to give everybody a little blueprint? Maybe I don't know,
12:17
Speaker 3: I don't know. Maybe it's playing man, maybe it's party
12:19
Speaker 3: throwing the ball outside the numbers.
12:20
Speaker 1: I don't know.
12:21
Speaker 3: All I know is made Seahawk fans feel a little
12:23
Speaker 3: bit better. I wish the Seahawks would have won, obviously,
12:25
Speaker 3: would have been able to gain a game in the standings.
12:28
Speaker 3: But we'll save that for another day. Let's get back
12:31
Speaker 3: into these Cardinals. Figure out how they match up against
12:33
Speaker 3: your Seattle Seahawks. Manus man up on Hawk Talk, or
12:46
Speaker 3: to start like we always do, looking at the quarterbacks,
12:48
Speaker 3: We're gonna start with Joshua Dobbs taking on the Seahawks defense. Now, Dobbs,
12:53
Speaker 3: he's had an interesting kind of route to get to
12:55
Speaker 3: this point. He was a fourth round pick out of
12:56
Speaker 3: the University of Tennessee, spent his first two seasons in Pittsburgh,
13:00
Speaker 3: and spent last year with the Titans.
13:02
Speaker 1: But he hasn't been a full time starter.
13:04
Speaker 3: He only started two games in Tennessee in place of
13:06
Speaker 3: Ryan Tannehill and was not a starter in Pittsburgh, And
13:10
Speaker 3: this is the first time he's really had that opportunity
13:12
Speaker 3: to step up. As you know, the Cardinals obviously are
13:14
Speaker 3: without being without Kyler Murley this whole season. So while
13:18
Speaker 3: Dobbs has done some good things, bump when you watch
13:20
Speaker 3: their games, he's really struggled with accuracy and crippling fourth
13:25
Speaker 3: quarter turnovers. Like I looked it up, and it's not
13:28
Speaker 3: good in winning time. Dobbs this season has four excuse me,
13:32
Speaker 3: has five fourth quarter turnovers. He has two fourth quarter
13:35
Speaker 3: turnovers in each of the last two games against the
13:38
Speaker 3: Rams and the Bengals games that they were in. He
13:41
Speaker 3: in an interception, in a fumble against the Rams and
13:43
Speaker 3: against Cincinnati had a fumble and an interception, all of
13:46
Speaker 3: those in the fourth quarter. So it's not surprising when
13:49
Speaker 3: you look at it and you see that the Cardinals
13:50
Speaker 3: are the worst fourth quarter team in the National Football League,
13:53
Speaker 3: being outscored sixty four to seven.
13:57
Speaker 1: So I actually like Dobbs. I think he's an athlete.
14:00
Speaker 3: I think he gives them a little bit of different
14:02
Speaker 3: dimension in terms of how he runs the football, but
14:05
Speaker 3: turning the ball over Layton games, what is winning time,
14:07
Speaker 3: is really hard to do. He's completing sixty two point
14:10
Speaker 3: eight percent of his passes, which ranks twenty fifth in
14:12
Speaker 3: the National Football League. On the year, He's won twenty
14:14
Speaker 3: three for one to ninety six two hundred and fifteen yards,
14:18
Speaker 3: six touchdowns and three interceptions. He's been sacked eleven times.
14:22
Speaker 3: And here's the kicker. Though he has fumbled six. His
14:24
Speaker 3: six fumbles are second in the National Football League. So
14:29
Speaker 3: his issue right now is turning the ball over, which
14:31
Speaker 3: which should bode well for the Seahawks defense, who's coming
14:33
Speaker 3: off their best game of the year back to back. Actually,
14:36
Speaker 3: once you include New York against since he they held
14:39
Speaker 3: the likes of Joe Burrow tow one hundred and eighty
14:40
Speaker 3: five yards one interception, held the Bengals to fifty two
14:44
Speaker 3: yards and three points in the second half, a total
14:46
Speaker 3: of two hundred fourteen yards for the game, and they've
14:48
Speaker 3: climbed up from you know, kind of the bottom of
14:50
Speaker 3: the league, the sixteenth overall on defense given up three
14:52
Speaker 3: hundred and thirty six yards per game. So this is
14:54
Speaker 3: a matchup by Like, when I look at this, I
14:56
Speaker 3: think Dobbs can can do some nice things for him.
14:59
Speaker 3: If they're playing ain't close, but you turn the ball over,
15:01
Speaker 3: you make them one dimensional. I think he's prone to
15:03
Speaker 3: really hurting his team laden games, as he's shown this
15:07
Speaker 3: so far the season. So I think the Sea's got
15:08
Speaker 3: a real opportunity here to create some turnovers and get
15:11
Speaker 3: their first turnover at home.
15:12
Speaker 1: Bump. They don't have any turnovers at Loomenfield, which is crazy.
15:16
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's that's crazy to think about. Man, it's six
15:19
Speaker 4: fumbles by that young man. I never wish bad on anybody,
15:22
Speaker 4: but goodness, gracious, we could use a couple of those.
15:25
Speaker 4: I just look at our quarterback, Gina. I mean, Dobbs
15:28
Speaker 4: has been struggling. Gino's been struggling a little bit to
15:30
Speaker 4: the past couple of weeks. Against the Giants, he was
15:32
Speaker 4: thirteen to twenty four a buck ten and one touchdown.
15:34
Speaker 4: Last week he was twenty seven to forty one three
15:37
Speaker 4: hundred and twenty three yards. Sounds good, right, BA Zero
15:39
Speaker 4: touchdowns in two interceptions. My man will sacked four times,
15:42
Speaker 4: the most he's been sacked this year. Through five games,
15:45
Speaker 4: Gino only has five touchdowns in three interceptions. During the
15:48
Speaker 4: first half last season, Gino was playing dan.
15:53
Speaker 1: Near perfect football. It ain't been like that this year.
15:56
Speaker 4: When you look at him compared to the other quarterbacks
15:58
Speaker 4: in the league complete percentage, he's eleventh, completing sixty seven
16:01
Speaker 4: percent of his passes, twenty second in yards over eleven
16:05
Speaker 4: hundred yards. He is twelfth when it comes to yards
16:08
Speaker 4: per game, and his QUB rating is good enough for fifteenth.
16:10
Speaker 4: His QBR is eleven. But that doesn't mean he's playing
16:15
Speaker 4: bad football. He's just he played so well last year
16:19
Speaker 4: that we're used to seeing him play at a higher level.
16:22
Speaker 4: He needs eighty completions though, to pass John Kinne for
16:24
Speaker 4: sixth plays on Seattle's all time completions list with six
16:27
Speaker 4: fifty nine, and he needs two touchdowns to pass Rick
16:29
Speaker 4: Meyer for six plays on Seattle's all time passing touchdown
16:32
Speaker 4: list with forty two.
16:33
Speaker 1: So there's something that he can work for.
16:35
Speaker 4: He hasn't played good at the last two weeks, but
16:37
Speaker 4: he's still show him that he can be the geno
16:39
Speaker 4: that we know in love this year, Like I mentioned,
16:41
Speaker 4: eleven hundred yards, five touchdowns, three interceptions. So he's going
16:45
Speaker 4: against the Cardinals defense that gives up a lot of
16:48
Speaker 4: yards and gives up a lot of yards through the
16:50
Speaker 4: air and will give up a lot of points. So
16:52
Speaker 4: I'm not saying it's a get right game because I
16:55
Speaker 4: don't think Gino played horribly last game.
16:56
Speaker 1: That's made a couple of mistakes.
16:58
Speaker 4: But this could be a feel good game for Gino,
17:00
Speaker 4: get back to the vibes that we're used to seeing
17:03
Speaker 4: them play with.
17:04
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it's really only a couple of plays though,
17:06
Speaker 3: bum that's a crazy thing, because he made some really
17:08
Speaker 3: good throats to Locket in the game last week, a
17:10
Speaker 3: couple of good plays here and there. He just the
17:12
Speaker 3: one where you miss Jackson Smith and Jigblud that would
17:14
Speaker 3: have been a touchdown, and then a couple Honestly late
17:17
Speaker 3: in the game, pressure was on him so quickly on
17:21
Speaker 3: the two fourth down red zone trips that it's really
17:24
Speaker 3: hard to do anything when you're under that kind of pressure.
17:26
Speaker 3: So I'm expecting not a get right game for Gino,
17:29
Speaker 3: bump a get right game for this whole squad, because
17:31
Speaker 3: I feel like Gino's gonna have a great day. I
17:33
Speaker 3: think he to take care of the football and I'm
17:35
Speaker 3: excited to see Geno be himself now footpit. On the
17:38
Speaker 3: other side of the Cardinals wide receivers, we got Marquise
17:42
Speaker 3: Brown and Michael Wilson taking on this talented Seahawks secondary.
17:46
Speaker 1: And now the receiving cores.
17:47
Speaker 3: They're not going to wow you with the stats and
17:49
Speaker 3: the numbers they put up this year, but they do
17:51
Speaker 3: have some playmakers in the room that you gotta respect.
17:53
Speaker 3: They're led by shifty Marquise Brown. Brown leeds the Cardinals
17:56
Speaker 3: in receptions, yards, touchdowns, targets, first down, and yards after catch.
18:01
Speaker 1: Is kind of do it all guy for them.
18:03
Speaker 3: He was a thousand yard receiver in his last season
18:05
Speaker 3: in Baltimore before coming to the Cardinals in twenty twenty two.
18:08
Speaker 1: Last year a pretty good year.
18:10
Speaker 3: He was alongside DeAndre Hopkins with sixty seven receptions seven
18:14
Speaker 3: hundred nine yards three touchdowns through twelve games. Now this year,
18:18
Speaker 3: twenty nine receptions on fifty three targets for three hundred
18:22
Speaker 3: and thirty four yards in three touchdowns. So he's a
18:24
Speaker 3: good player, man. He's a guy that he's hard to
18:27
Speaker 3: get down in space. When you can get him the ball,
18:30
Speaker 3: he's definitely somebody. It's got some wiggle he can get by,
18:32
Speaker 3: you can run by you. So he's definitely a guy
18:34
Speaker 3: that you want to watch out for. Behind him, in
18:36
Speaker 3: terms of statistics, he got Michael Wilson, the rookie had
18:39
Speaker 3: a Stanford bump. You've probably got to see him play
18:41
Speaker 3: a decent amount eighteen receptions on twenty two targets, three
18:45
Speaker 3: hundred and seventeen yards, two touchdowns in that receiver room. Also,
18:48
Speaker 3: I mean he's a tight end. But zach Ertz, Rondell
18:50
Speaker 3: Momore are other guys that they kind of lean on.
18:54
Speaker 3: So they got some good players. But right now, I
18:57
Speaker 3: have had this much confidence in Seahawk sect since you know,
19:01
Speaker 3: the Legion of Boom was playing. Honestly, like straight up,
19:04
Speaker 3: you look at the guys because they have the same
19:06
Speaker 3: type of not to compare, I don't mean that, but
19:09
Speaker 3: they have guys that have the same type of playmaking ability,
19:12
Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying. So Devin Witherspoon, he continued
19:15
Speaker 3: to make plays every week. Second in the NFL with
19:17
Speaker 3: seven passes defended. He had three passes defended last week.
19:21
Speaker 3: The only player in the NFL has more than him
19:22
Speaker 3: as Darius Williams for Jacksonville with nine. So he's making
19:25
Speaker 3: plays anywhere. He's on the field, Jamal Adams had a
19:28
Speaker 3: great game. Four tackles, one TfL, one QB hit, He
19:31
Speaker 3: played eighty five percent of snaps and it was his
19:33
Speaker 3: first full game start to finish since November twenty ninth,
19:36
Speaker 3: twenty twenty one against Washington.
19:38
Speaker 1: He made some really good plays.
19:39
Speaker 3: He broke up a screen where he had two linemen
19:42
Speaker 3: that he had to split, made a great play, and
19:43
Speaker 3: just his energy. So I'm loving what we're seeing there.
19:46
Speaker 3: And the Hawks are twenty eighth in the NFL against
19:49
Speaker 3: the pass pass excuse me, allowing two hundred and fifty
19:52
Speaker 3: seven yards per game. But they've been really good as
19:54
Speaker 3: of late the last two weeks, averaging just one hundred
19:57
Speaker 3: and fifty two yards against the Giants and Bengals. So again,
20:00
Speaker 3: the Seahawks secondary is playing some really good football, and
20:02
Speaker 3: the Cardinals have some good players on offense. But this
20:04
Speaker 3: is another matchup by a definitely go advantaged Seahawks because
20:07
Speaker 3: they're just playing so well and the confidence is there,
20:10
Speaker 3: and I think from Clint Hurt, when you can put
20:12
Speaker 3: Witherspoon and Jamal Adams on the edges and you're not
20:15
Speaker 3: sure which one is gonna blitz, who's gonna drop, who's
20:18
Speaker 3: gonna go deep as Quandra Diggs coming down buzzing the flat.
20:20
Speaker 3: There's there's so much versatility that they can do. Now
20:23
Speaker 3: you got Trey Brown who comes in there.
20:24
Speaker 1: He's making plays.
20:25
Speaker 3: So really excited about this secondary, and I'm really excited
20:28
Speaker 3: to see them, you know, try to put the clamps
20:30
Speaker 3: on these cardinal receivers.
20:32
Speaker 4: Yeah, the secondary, we do it. It's gonna be a
20:33
Speaker 4: lot depth in that secondary. But to see these guys
20:36
Speaker 4: actually put it all together in motion, it is exciting, man.
20:39
Speaker 1: So yeah, I'm with you there.
20:40
Speaker 4: Let's look at the running backs Ken Walker and Zach
20:42
Speaker 4: Scharbaday against his cardinal front seven the Seahawks. They struggle
20:46
Speaker 4: to run the ball against the Bengals, only eighty seven
20:48
Speaker 4: yards to twenty five carries, and they haven't really found
20:51
Speaker 4: their groove yet when it comes to run the rock yet. Man,
20:53
Speaker 4: the Hawks ring is twenty th in the NFL. What
20:55
Speaker 4: one hundred and four yards per game? Ken Walker, of
20:57
Speaker 4: course leads the way eighty three carries for three forty
20:59
Speaker 4: five six touchdowns. Zach Charbonne, I need some more, Zach Charbonneue,
21:03
Speaker 4: He's got twenty three to one on nine. Give that man,
21:05
Speaker 4: the ball inside the red zone. This could be the
21:09
Speaker 4: week they finally get things going. Man, the Carlins are
21:10
Speaker 4: twenty fourth in league when it comes to defending the rum.
21:13
Speaker 4: They'll give up about abuve thirty three per game. But
21:16
Speaker 4: given what happened to the Rams last week, Man, that
21:18
Speaker 4: should give these guys some confidence. Kyron Wilson ran all
21:22
Speaker 4: over this defense to see if we can do the
21:23
Speaker 4: same as a team.
21:24
Speaker 1: The Rams rushed for one hundred.
21:26
Speaker 4: And seventy nine yards on twenty five carries, and like
21:28
Speaker 4: I mentioned earlier, there was a time where they just said,
21:31
Speaker 4: if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
21:32
Speaker 1: Let's keep running it running and run it. Ran it
21:34
Speaker 1: eight times.
21:35
Speaker 4: I'm looking forward to see if they can get the
21:36
Speaker 4: run game going, Bom.
21:38
Speaker 3: But if you're a defender and that offense says you
21:41
Speaker 3: know what we're gonna line up, I don't care if
21:43
Speaker 3: you know what the players we're gonna run it nine
21:45
Speaker 3: times in a row. That is the most demoralizing feeling
21:49
Speaker 3: you can have.
21:50
Speaker 1: You're getting yourself up.
21:51
Speaker 3: I'd rather man, if you're on defense, you give up
21:53
Speaker 3: an eighty yard touchdown, six yard touchdown, three players?
21:56
Speaker 1: Okay, coverage bus speaking whatever.
21:58
Speaker 3: But when someone physically posers are well on you like
22:01
Speaker 3: that nine straight times in the NFL.
22:03
Speaker 1: That's unheard of, man, that So you're right.
22:06
Speaker 3: I want to see more Sharbonnay and I think the
22:08
Speaker 3: Seahawks can really take advantage of that because they're hurting
22:09
Speaker 3: a little bit defensively. So Buota Baker, if you're out there, Seattle, legend, rest.
22:15
Speaker 1: Up this week, man chilled out.
22:17
Speaker 3: Ain't no reason rush back. You can come on back,
22:19
Speaker 3: say hi to the fam, you know, wave at everybody.
22:21
Speaker 3: That'd be great. You don't need to rush back on
22:23
Speaker 3: the field. Think about your health, you know, on the plane,
22:26
Speaker 3: come kicking, you know, keep that hoodie on though. Oh shoot, okay.
22:32
Speaker 3: The last matchup I want to get into is the
22:34
Speaker 3: Cardinals offense. So they're running back specific against the Seahawks
22:37
Speaker 3: front seven. Cardinals their most dangerous we have been probably
22:40
Speaker 3: their best player on offenses, without questioning James Connor. That
22:43
Speaker 3: dude is a monster when he's healthy. Unfortunately for them,
22:46
Speaker 3: he went down with a knee injury against the Bengals,
22:48
Speaker 3: so he's on ir. Connor was a team leading rusher,
22:51
Speaker 3: was three hundred and sixty four yards on sixty eight
22:54
Speaker 3: carries and two touchdowns. Second leading rusher is the quarterback
22:58
Speaker 3: is Dops thirty four carries, one hundred eighty nine yards
23:00
Speaker 3: in one touchdown. Starting in place of Connor last week
23:04
Speaker 3: was Keance Ingram. He's played in four games this season
23:07
Speaker 3: with twenty two carries and just fifty five yards against
23:11
Speaker 3: the Rams, though he had ten carries for forty yards.
23:13
Speaker 3: Ingram was a sixth round pick out of USC in
23:16
Speaker 3: twenty twenty two. Now without James Connor, they look a
23:19
Speaker 3: lot differently in how you respect the run is a
23:21
Speaker 3: lot different without him back there. And this is what
23:23
Speaker 3: the Seahaws have done well all season long. They've shut
23:25
Speaker 3: down the run. The Hawks are fifth in the NFL
23:28
Speaker 3: allowing just seventy nine yards per game, and they are
23:30
Speaker 3: number one in the National Football League and yards per carry,
23:33
Speaker 3: allowing three point one seven. No player individually has ran
23:37
Speaker 3: for more than sixty seven yards against the Seahawks defense.
23:40
Speaker 3: So again, all these big matchup you looked at it, I
23:43
Speaker 3: feel like the Seahawks have the advantage bump, So why
23:47
Speaker 3: don't you bring us home? Let us know how we
23:48
Speaker 3: get this done. Path the victory.
23:52
Speaker 2: After forty five waits for the snat Michael Vickxon puts
23:55
Speaker 2: it down.
23:56
Speaker 1: That kick is away.
23:57
Speaker 2: If that kick is good, when it's gone, it's a
24:02
Speaker 2: path to victory.
24:03
Speaker 4: On Hawk Talk, this is how these guys are gonna
24:08
Speaker 4: get this done. One you cannot go oing to in
24:11
Speaker 4: this division. You have to take care of business. Right
24:14
Speaker 4: It's about to get real here pretty soon. It already
24:16
Speaker 4: is real. What will we six seven weeks into the season.
24:19
Speaker 4: Already it feels like it just got started. But it's
24:21
Speaker 4: important that you get this win this weekend. And how
24:24
Speaker 4: are you gonna do that? You get after this quarterback
24:26
Speaker 4: we mentioned will turn the football over late and he
24:28
Speaker 4: could funnel the ball, get the turnover game going and
24:32
Speaker 4: do what you've done against the run, shut it down.
24:34
Speaker 4: This team has been one of the best in the
24:36
Speaker 4: league when it comes to stopping the run, and now
24:38
Speaker 4: you want to stop the one run and then we
24:40
Speaker 4: want to.
24:40
Speaker 1: Run the football.
24:41
Speaker 4: Okay, the Rams might have shown the Seahawks the blueprint
24:46
Speaker 4: to this thing, and what I saw on thees Man,
24:47
Speaker 4: I saw them pack it in with two tight ends
24:49
Speaker 4: on a balance set, bring those receivers in, run your
24:52
Speaker 4: zone off of that, and then expand from there. I
24:55
Speaker 4: really like the way that the Rams approach of the
24:57
Speaker 4: Cardinals this week, and then Gino bu Doc, don't force nothing,
25:02
Speaker 4: take us there, get the ball out quickly and be
25:05
Speaker 4: that smooth operator we saw last year.
25:07
Speaker 3: That sounds good to me. Bump Let's get this done.
25:09
Speaker 3: Big Ray always talking about it. Get right, get right,
25:12
Speaker 3: get right. This is a get right.
25:13
Speaker 1: Game for the Seahawks.
25:13
Speaker 3: You're at home, go one to know this week, take
25:16
Speaker 3: care of business and set yourself up for success moving
25:18
Speaker 3: on this season. Reminder, guys, you can catch us everywhere
