• 0:52
  Speaker 1: to practice this week as a Seahawks prepare for a

  Speaker 1: Thursdenday matchup against the Los Angeles Rams. He was a
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: fourth round pick if you guys remember at Oklahoma, Brown
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: made a strong impression during training camp and was getting
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: some first team raps prior to his injury. So good
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: to see him coming back in the fold. Um. With
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: a short week, it might be tough for some guys
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: to make it, but like every week, head coach Pete
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: Carroll stepped up to the podium and gave us a
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: run down on some injuries. We'll hear about Benson Mayowa,
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: Carlos Dunlap, DK Metcalf, Tyler Lockett, But coach got things
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: going with Darryl Taylor, Daryl. We'll see. Um, he's got
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: a little ankle something. We gotta check him out. Benson,
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: Uh is gonna practice. We gotta see if he's safe
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: to go. Um, we'll be determined that. I don't know
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: about Carlos. He's got he's got a sore toe, you know,
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: and and uh so he's like a bear with a
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: thorn in his foot. You know, he's gonna see if
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: he can make it. And uh, he might be a
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: little grumpy about it. I don't know what. How did
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: Tyler and DK come out yesterday? Um, seemingly well they came,
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: they came out of the thing. Well, and and we'll see,
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: you know, it's it's it's a This is a challenging
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: turnaround for you know, for everybody that does the Thursday
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: nighters and and us. We'll see how we handle it.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: But both guys made it through and we were very
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: very fortunate in terms of getting guys nicked in the game.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: Not to say that some guys didn't, but it's, uh,
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: we have a chance to get to get everybody up well,
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: so some goodness and bad well, we'll have to wait
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: and see. Hopefully Carlos stun laugh feels okay with that
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: kind of turf toe injury. Ben Tomayo has missed the
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: last couple of weeks, and DK Metcalf and Tyre Lockett
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: have had a couple of nagging injuries, but they haven't
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: missed anytime. So let's get right into it, man. What's
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: on tap? What's on tap? What's on tap? The Los
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: Angeles Rams are making a trip to Seattle. They are
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: three on one their very first week. They beat the
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: Chicago Bears thirty four to fourteen. Then they beat the
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: Colts twenty seven to twenty four. Then they beat the
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: Tampa Bay Buccaneers. This is when I'm starting to buy
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: into the Rams. Hype them by man, they'd beat Tommy
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: and the Boys thirty four to twenty four. But then
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: the Arizona Cardinals were mine pots. You cannot forget about them.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: They lose to the Cardinals thirty seven to twenty. The
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: Rams look like the best team in the NFC after
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: three weeks and maybe the entire NFL, especially after that
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: win against Tom Brady and the Boys, the defending Super
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: Bowl champions. But on Sunday things changed. Man, the Cardinals
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: they're impressive. I was just watching Steven's a list and
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: he has them as the number one team in the NFL.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: We know stephen A's kind of crazy, but he might
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: have a point right here. I think they're the remaining
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: only remaining undefeated team in the NFL. They handed it
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: to the Rams thirty four to thirteam. They came out high.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: It was actually the Raums were up ten to seven
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: at one point, but after that it was all downhill.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: Colin American teams just to look good. Twenty four thirty two,
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: two hundred and sixty eight yards, two touchdowns, six carriages
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: for forty nine yards, and he did something nasty. I
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: was impressive. It was like thirteen third and sixteen, no problem.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: I'll get outside the pocket. I'll scammer for another thirteen
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: to sixteen yards. When you have a quarterback like that
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: plus some weapons that he has around them, they're just
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: hard to defend. Yeah, Colin Murray's looked great. Man. We
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: and you have been big supporters of Colin Murray throughout
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: this podcast. Last year we kind of thought was a
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: year that he was going to take that step in
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: the Cardinals, We're going to kind of emerge the team
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: that was gonna be really tough to contend with in
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: the NFC West, and I think we were just a
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: year ahead of schedule. It's only been four weeks, but man,
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: these Cardinals look really, really good. Like you mentioned, Colin
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: Murray's putting up great numbers and he's doing more than
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: just with his legs. He's doing with his arms. He's
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: making good decisions and they have their whole offense going.
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: Chase Edmonds had things going on the ground, had one
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: hundred twenty yards and twelve carries. James Connor had fifty
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: yards and two touchdowns. The Old Heads, the Ogs, AJ Green,
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: Andre Hopkins nine receptions for one thirty four and a
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: tad combined bump. The Cardinals scored on seven of eight
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: possessions after opening game of the punt, so they had
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: things going. But the biggest point in the game bump.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: The biggest reason for that lopside of victory was Arizona
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: scored touchdowns on both of LA's turnovers. Yeah, and local
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: kid Byron Murphy got things going. Intercepted a pass from
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford undercut. It was a pretty nice play right there,
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: due showing why he is in the NFL. The Titan
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: Wims called a tough football in the end zone. Was
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: a bang bang play. Kyla Murdis floats one down the team.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: When you got a big tight end like that, it
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: is hard to do. Now, the Rams struggled offensively. Matthew
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: Stafford was twenty six to forty one two hight yards
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: with two touchdowns and one interception, and mister reliable just
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: couldn't get going. Ask Cooper Cup. He struggled. He had
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: thirteen targets bowing five receptions sixty four yards. We just
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: don't see that out of Cooper Cup. Now, I put
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: some of it on the Aros on a defense. Now
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: I washed the game and they're just all over the dude,
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: whenever the ball is thrown at him. The obviously game
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: planning for him. They were ready to go, but you
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: can't expect that it happened two weeks in a row. Now. Now,
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: Sean mcvayh is two, he's two talented drawing up plays.
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: Cooper Cup and Matthew Stafford for that matter, are two talented.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: So Cooper Cup is definitely gonna be one of the
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: top targets that we're gonna have to look out forward
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: the Seahawks. We this Thursday night. Let's look at this
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: head to head though bump as we get in the
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: matchup between the Seahawks and the Rams. You know, I'll
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: just start with this. We'll talk about later. But the
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: Rams last year, they were the class of NFL. When
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: it comes to defense, there were number one total defense,
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: number one in a ton of different categories. But they've
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: really struggled the last two weeks. They're now twenty seventh
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: in total defense given up three hundred and ninety six
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: yards a game, twenty second rush defense one hundred twenty
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: three a game, and twenty fifth when it comes to
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: past defense, given up two hundred and seventy three yards
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: a game. So it's a little bit surprising, you know.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: I know that they lost Staley, who's now the head
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: coach of the Chargers. They got Raheem more so as
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: a dc SO and he's been around the block for
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: a minute, so it'll be interesting to see what's happened.
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: But the last two weeks they've kind of got schemed
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: up and a lot of points scored on him. And
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: then flipping over to the Seahawks, the Seahawks are training
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: in the right direction. It's not gonna be reflected in
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: the head to heads. This is the same. It kind
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: of feels like deja vu. Last year, bump thirty two,
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: last in the league in total defense given up four
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: hundred and forty four yards a game thirty first, and
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: rush defense given up buck fifty two and twenty eighth
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: and pass I see if the defense given up two
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: or ninety two yards a game. Now, while those numbers
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: don't sound good when you sam, we saw some encouraging
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: things from that secondary, from the back seven, from the
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: defensive line getting sacks, getting pressure last week. So I
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: think we're training in the right direction when it comes
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: to defense, training in the right directions. Twelves you hear that.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: I know. They are the thirty two total defense, but
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: they are training in the right direction. If you watch
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: the last game, they caused an intercessors, something that didn't
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: happen so far this year. There are some pass breakups.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: Jordan Brooks had his first SAT as a professional. They're
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: moving in the right direction offensively are These rams are
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: ranked seventh in the league. Excuse when it comes to
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: points per game and the Hawks are tenth to the
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: league points per game averaging twenty five. Now total offense
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: rams are eleven, the Seahawks are nineteen. Now I'm looking
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: at these numbers and nas and I'm like, okay, so
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: it's gonna be up. It's gonna be a shootout that
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: has the potential to be a shootout. You're looking after
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: the twenty seventh ranked defense versus thirty second rank defense.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: Numbers might fool you, though, if the Hawks are training
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: in the right direction, and maybe they clamp down on
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: these guys a bit, but you gotta remember, man, we're
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: gonna get into these matches. Man. They got Cooper Cup
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: and a bunch of other guys over there as well,
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: all right. When it comes to turnover deferential, that's where
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: the Hawks are kind of doing okay, there are plus
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: three out of six in the league. The Rams are
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: zero have zero excuse me, differential zero, tied for fourteenth.
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: All right, man, Now, these guys have been battling for
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: a long time. They got some history. Let's get to
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: know it. No, your history, well, bumps. So the Seahawks
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: lead the all time series twenty five to twenty. Unfortunately,
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: the Rams have actually won five of the last seven
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: games in the regular season. The last two years, the
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: teams would split games, winning one, losing the other and
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: last meeting. I don't need to spend a lot of
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: time on this, twelves No, everyone else knows. Seahawks won
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: the division but lost in the wild card thirty to twenty.
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: Seahawks struggled to get things going offensively, got behind early.
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: There's pick six from Darius Williams. Russell was just eleven
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: for twenty seven with one hundred and seventy four yards
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: and two tuds. Both those came dk Metcalf, who led
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: all receivers with five receptions in ninety six yards. But
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: I believe that was on like thirteen targets two touchdowns.
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: It just wasn't a great game. I know, really missed
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: the twelves in that one. Um, so it's really I'm
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: really excited to see this matchup primetime at Looming Field.
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: Kind of. I don't even I don't think I'll call
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: a revenge game because everyone goes year to year, But Bump,
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: you don't forget stuff, man, You don't forget the little
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: chitter chatter back and forth. You don't forget the subset
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: on social media. I know Jamal and those guys won't.
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: They're gonna be ready to play, and it's gonna be fun. Man,
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: it's gonna be real fun. But we don't need to
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: talk about but well, the latest history because hopefully when
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: we talk about this we play them again, we'll have
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: a much better thing to talk about, hopefully about this game.
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: But man, let's stick in that NFC West. It's dangerous
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: what's the word? And the Seahawks were the NFC West
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: champs again. What's the word? In the West? On Hot Talk?
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: What's the word? Arizona Cardinals sit at the top of
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: the division at four and ohs. The Rams are right
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: behind them at three one, Seattle two and two, San
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: France two and two. The NFC West continues to be
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: strong man eleven and four through three weeks of the
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: NFL season. The only other division that's better is the
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: AFC West, So the West is just representing all day
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: all right? We got Week four was the first divisional matchup,
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: so we saw the division go wide. Are we're gonna
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: see some more this week. As we mentioned, the Cardinals
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: dominate the Rams, handing them their first loss and snapping
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: an eight game losing streak to the Rams. That's big.
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: The Cardinals are also off to their first four and
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: OL starts since twenty twenty one, looking for the first
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: winning season or division titles since twenty fifteen. The forty
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: nine is played the Cardinals this weekend, so we'll see
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: what happens there. Train Lambs has a full week of practice.
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: We'll see how that offense evolves. Last week it was
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: kind of thrown to the fire. It was real basic.
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: But the NFC West looks good man and this is
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: a big week because potentially the Cardinals could get their
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: first loss. The Seahawks can bump up to three and
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: two and they start to close the gap. Everyone starts
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: beating each other. You close the gap. It kind of
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: reminds me of the Pack Twell, it's like you got
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: a team that's balling balling in them. You're getting too
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: conference play and you start beating up on each other. Yep, No,
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: that's that's that's a great comparison, because, yeah, that's what's
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: gonna happen this year. The league is way too tough.
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: And don't be surprised. You know, Trey Lands and the
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: Niners have a full week of practice. You know, Kyle
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: Shannahan's gonna is gonna script put them in the best
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: position to win. He had, it's gonna have a full
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: week to get Lance ready. So don't be surprised if
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: the Niners go and shock the world and beat Arizona Cardinals.
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: Flip every flip the script do things differently. But man, yeah,
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: this is gonna be every single week. It's gonna be
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: tough in this division, and it's great to see two
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: tough divisional matchups. It's a tough for the Seahawks and
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: the Rams on a short week, but you're gonna get
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: depending on whoever wins this game, you're gonna get a
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: lot of rest in the back end. So we'll see
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: if it's worth it, man, But bump, let's waste no
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: more time. What's getting these matchups is this man man
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: up on Hawk Talk. Man Up. We start where we
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: always do, looking at the quarterback. This time we're gonna
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: start with Matthew Stafford taking on the Seahawks defense. Matthew
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: Stafford in twenty twenty one is having a pretty good season.
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: He's ninety two of one thirty five for one thousand,
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: two hundred and twenty two yards in eleven touchdowns, just
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: two interceptions on the season, completing sixty eight percent of
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: his pass has only been sacked three times. He seems
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: to have found some new life in La Man. He
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: loves a lifestyle. It seems like everyone's having a good time.
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: He's great relationship with Sean mcvayh he's got Cooper Cup,
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: Robert was all these dudes. Now again, it's one quarter
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: of the way through the season. We've always known Stafford
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: was a talented quarterback. It was just kind of the
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: question of is he one of the top tier quarterbacks?
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: I hate saying the word elite whatever, but is he
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: in that echelon? Right? I'm leaning towards he's just outside
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: of it. But honestly, do you think he do you
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: think he didn't get enough credit for how good he
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: was with the lines just because of how the lines organization.
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: And he's gonna show that this year, or do you
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: think at the end of the year will be like, yep,
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: that's he's as good as Matthew Safford as I thought
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: he'd be. It's like you said, we're a quarter the
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: way through the season. It's hard to really tell. But
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: you see some of the throws that he's making, right,
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: He's got Deshaan Jackson over there, Dee Ball Thram, yeah,
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: Cooper Cup and I'm watching the film and he looks
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: better than me. He looks more comfortable because he has
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: more weapons. Typically he's only had Calvin Johnson. Really, he's
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: closing his eyes, he's throwing it up there. I think
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: by the end of this year we will see him
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: in a better light than we did in Detroit. But
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: I still think he's not gonna be like the top five.
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: You know, there's some guys in this league who have
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: been doing it and been doing it for a long time.
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: So I don't know. He does look better, though, I
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: will give him that. He does look better. I like
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: his compulsion. Let's talk about the other quarterback, Russell Wilson
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: versus the Rams front seven at Russell Wilson is seventy
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: nine for one hundred and nine one thousand and forty
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: four yards, nine touchdowns, and zero interceptions, completing seventy two
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: percent of his passes. He's got fifteen carrens for fifty
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: eight yards one touchdown. He is the fastest quarterback to
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: one hundred wins. All this guy does is win except
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: against the Rams. For some reason. All right, He's at
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: eight and eleven against the Rams and that's including the postseason.
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: He's been sacked sixteen times in the last three games
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: against the Rams. I'm gonna say Leonard Floyd has about
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: half of those things. And we all know, and like
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: I said, we know by Aaron Donald as well, something
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: about the Rams. Every quarterback has that team that just
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: gives them fits. Even Tom Brady in New England it
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: was Miami. For some reason, Miami would just give this
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: guy some fits. The nemesis for Russell Wilson is the
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: Los Angeles Rams. I'm not sure why, but I hope
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: that doesn't continue on Thursday. Yeah, man, you look at
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: those numbers and it's tough. I mean, Russell Wilson and
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: guarantee you someone that he's played that many times, he's
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: got a winning record against you just do the math.
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: He's won too many football games. And then you just
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: look and you looking through some of the numbers, and
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: I'm like, dang, he's been sacked sixteen times in three games.
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: And that's not all. And let's not jump get ahead
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: of ourselves. That's not all on the offensive line. You know,
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: that's that's a joint that's a joint effort um there
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: and and some of those games, you know, one of
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: them the Seahawks still won. But we're gonna have to
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: do The Seahawks're gonna have to protect Russell better, you know,
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: and we're just gonna eat it. First of A, let's
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: block Leonard Floyd please, because for whatever reason, man, I
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: feel like he'd be having three sack games against us. Man,
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: he is a problem. We know. Aaron Donald's a problem.
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: You know. It'll be interesting to see when the Seahawks
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: get Brandon shellback. Um, Cedric a boy, he did a
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: nice job after settling in that first series, so he'll
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: be tested. Kyle Fuller last year, Um, however, it was
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: in a loss, stepped up and played really well. Um
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: playing on a broken ankle or whatnot. So it was
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: I was promising to see Derek lew got Lewis and
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: you got Gabe Jackson. So I feel I feel, I
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: feel good about it. I feel like Damian and those
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: guys are gonna gonna figure it out. And they don't
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: have a choice, bump. They don't because the Rams are coming.
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: We know that. So it's gonna be a tough day.
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: But I'm but Russell Man. I feel like he's due,
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: He's overdue for a big game against this team. Has
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: to be, has to be, man. This is your time
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: to shine. This is a big week, man. Last week
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: was a big week. This is a big week to two.
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: You can kind of change the shift of powers in
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: the NFC West. All right, Let's look at DK Metcalf
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: and Jalen Ramdazy Dk. So far they shared twenty receptions
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: for two hundred eighty five yards three touchdowns on thirty
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: three targets. Now, him and Jalen, it's a battle. They're
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: both two big men with big personalities. You know they're
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: gonna get after him. In twenty nineteen, DK had six
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: receptions for seventy eight yards on six targets. November twenty
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: he had two receptions for twenty yards four targets. Down
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: game for him. In December of twenty twenty six receptions
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: for fifty nine yards on eight targets, and their final
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: matchup in January twenty twenty one, he had five receptions
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: for ninety six yards two touchdowns on eleven targets. He
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: needs to ride that way. From January twenty one, five receptions,
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: ninety six yards. He had a good game, and I
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: feel like he's in a different place now than he
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: was in all of these games, right. I think all
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: these games previously this year, he's still trying to prove himself.
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: Maybe he knows that he's the man and he has
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: all these capabilities. But you know, they got people like
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: us talking about him. You got veterans in the league.
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: We're gonna try to test them. Do their respect him
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: or not? This is gonna be a big matchup. I'm
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: looking forward to this one, oh, no question about it.
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: I mean, Jalen Ramsey's one of the best corners in
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: the game. We know DK Metcals one of the best
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: wide receivers of the game. He adds something consistently to
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: his game as you mentioned on our last podcast, his
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: route running he's got is greater, his his catchabilities, radius,
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: all that stuff. And you look at Ramsey on the
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: flip side of that matchup. In twenty twenties, got twenty tackles,
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: two TFLs, two pass defended, one I and T. Now
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: it gets metcalf. In December of nineteen he had four tackles.
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: In November of twenty he had two tackles. December of
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: twenty had one tackle, one pass defended. And in the
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: playoff game me and three tackles one pass defended. So
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: when you look at both these numbers, none of them
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: jump out on either side it's really good or really bad.
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: Now it's it's a hard matchup to look at because
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: it's not like the Rams are playing man to man
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: and Jalen has fallen DC every where he goes. They're
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: gonna play some zones, they're gonna switch it up, right,
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: And just because DK doesn't go for two hundred yards
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: doesn't mean he wasn't getting open, doesn't mean he wasn't
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: cooking him, doesn't mean he wasn't doing those things. So
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: sometimes it's kind of hard to look at. But bump
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: let me tell you though, when they do actually line
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: up against each other, boy, get your popcorn ready, because
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: I want to see that. You get two physical dudes,
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: and when one of them makes a play, you know
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: he's gonna let the other one know about it. So
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: it's gonna be a really fun matchup and I'm excited
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: to see it. Yeah, I'm excited to see it as well.
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: Another matchup I'm excited to see is Cooper Cup Robert Woods,
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: Van Jefferson versus DJ Reid and Sydney Jones Another week,
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: DJ Sitney and a gang are gonna have to go
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: up against a really good receiving corps. So far, they'd
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: share Cooper Cup two hundred and twenty excuse me, in
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty one thirty receptions, four hundred thirty one yards,
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: five touchdowns on forty six targets. Now, he struggled last
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: week against the Cardinals, only have five receptions for sixty
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: four yards on thirteen targets. But like we said, we
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: just don't see that often. I don't expect to see that,
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: all right. He's part of Eastern Washington's finest third in
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: the NFL in receptions. Now, Eastern Washington for some reason,
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: this puts out good receivers. Man. I know they throw
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: the football a lot over there. That's just what they do.
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: Another good receiver coming from a university that puts out
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: a lot of good receivers. Robert was from USC in
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty one, fifteen receptions, one hundred and seventy two yards,
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: two touchdowns, and now kind of the newcomer Van Jefferson
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: had a breakout game last week. He has thirteen receptions
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty six yards and two touchdowns. Now the Hawks
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: has been moving some things in the secondary. Man, it
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: seems like for the past couple of years they've been
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: trying to figure out who they really want to be
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: their guys out there. Started the season with DJ Reid
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: and Trey Flowers. Now they threw Sidney Jones in there.
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: We've seen Ryan Neal get in the mixed Marquis player
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: Google Amati. It's going to take all these guys to
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: kind of corral this receiving corps and just make like
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: difficult for them because they're going to make some plays.
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: I never expect a defense to come out and to
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: shut great players down. Are great systems down. You just
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: have to limit the big plays A name. We didn't
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: even mention nasty. He's an oge. Sean Jackson will still
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: stretch the field out on you, man. Don't don't sleep
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: on on the eighty five baby, Oh, no question about it.
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: They have a really talented group. They get the ball
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: out fast, it's quick hitting. They'll do some misdirection stuff.
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: They'll catch you on a fly sweep if you're not
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: paying attention. So they do a lot of really good
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: things in that offense. And you know you mentioned it.
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: You know Sidney Jones now out there. Dj Reid went
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: back to the right side. So I'm excited to see
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: what this challenge will like. Because it's a week to
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: week league. Man, it's a week to week thing. It's
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: a shorter week, so you're not gonna get the practice
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: time that you would a do normal week. But they're
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: gonna be in the film room, they're gonna be doing
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: all that stuff. They're gonna go through all the walk
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: through periods. And I'm looking for Sidney Jones to take
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: another step right, you get your feet wet, you're still
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: going through communication stuff. You know, on that one play,
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: Quantre Diggs was on the field. He's kind of the
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: he's a quarterback of that defense, especially in the secondary
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: when it comes to communicating coverage and whatnot. So I'm
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: really excited to see what these guys look like, because yeah, man,
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: it's it's about to get real and they get tested
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: every single week. And I'm calling it right now. You
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: will play this back when it comes true. I prom
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: telling you one of these corners and come down in
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: the reception one of them, but they mark it down.
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: Cannot wait and wait. And this other matchup, man, this
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: is this one's taking place not on the field, but
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: I had to I had to point on it on
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: there this week, man, because it's Shane Waldron versus for
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: he Morris Man. Shane Waldron, he's now being the offensive
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: coordinator for the Seahawks. He's coached four games. He's getting
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: to base his old team. Lots of familiarity between both sides.
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: They know Shane, Shane knows them and I know Shane.
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: I know both sides are you know, helping the other
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: side of the ball what to expect, right, you know?
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: I know Shane is probably in there with Can being like, hey,
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: these are some tendencies, here's some tells, here's some things
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: you know. Of course, both sides are gonna have some
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: wrinkles in different stuff, but you know there's gonna be
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: a lot of that chess match. And Rahee Morris, he's
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: been around the block, He's had a lot of success
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: in the league. But his defense, you know, last year
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: they were number one in yards allowed in points last season,
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: but now this year they've given up nine hundred and
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: eleven yards and sixty one points in two weeks, twenty
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: seventh in total defense. Man, So it's gonna be a
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: fun chess matching and something's gotta give on Thursday. I
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: like the matchup between the guys with the headset song
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: all right, that those are those you always have the
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: young man on the field who are going to execute.
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: Sometimes you're gonna make these coordinators right even when they're
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: rum but it's up to these guys to put these
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: guys in good position. And if I am the Rams
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: fan base and Raheem Moore is in this defense continues
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: to give up a bunch of points. If there are
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: anything like the twelves, they're gonna hear about it, either
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: gonna be talking about it on their local radio station,
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: TV or whatnot. I just hope Raheem doesn't turn it
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: around this week because we know that he is a
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: good coach. We know that Shane Walden is a good
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: coach as well. I am looking forward to that match
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: up the Rams or twenty seventh in the league. Right
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: out of the defense, something that I did not expect
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: to see this year. Okay, now there's things you gotta
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: do to win the game. What's the path to victory?
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: After forty five waits for the staff, Michael Vickson puts
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: it down. That kick is away. If that kick is
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: God good, says Gun, it's a path to victory on
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: Hawk Talk. Well, it's gonna start with the quarterback, our
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: quarterback number three, and it's gonna be it's gonna come
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: down to protection. You know, he cannot be sat, you know,
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: five or six times in a game. Leonard Floyd, Aaron Donald,
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: all those talented guys they have in that secondary. It's
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: just happened too many times, you know. And I think
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: it's it's a joint effort as from from Shane, from
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: Pete to Shane to all the way down. Everyone on
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: offense is going to take a village and get those
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: receivers of all man stretch that field. You're gonna have
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: tough tests in that secondary. You know Taylor Raps over there.
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: We mentioned obviously, we know we're getting with Jalen Ramsey.
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: So I want to see those guys involved early and often,
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: because when when DK gets going, one of those guys
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: is going. I feel like the offense it just looks
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: different when you have at least one of them involved
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: making play, stretching that field. I feel like the offense
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: gets rolling. And when the offense is rolling, this team's
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: hard to beat. When you get DK and Tyler Lockett going,
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: that run game is gonna open up as well. So
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: we need to get Chris Carson. Yeah, we gotta. We
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: gotta see the Carson we've seen flashes of consistently this year.
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: And then, don't forget man, they got a number two
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: running back now. I mean Alex Collins made his case
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: to be that number two. Look good last week over
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: seventy five yards a total offense, got the run game going,
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: had a twenty yard pass reception last year. I like him.
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: Now you have to slow down this Rams offense. We
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: talked about all the weapons that they have. We didn't
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: even mention Darryl Henderson, who's a solid running back as well.
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: You got a bunch of receivers who are veterans and
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: have been around the block. You got a veteran quarterback,
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: you got a good running back. Slow this d excuse me,
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: this offense down and make them one dimensional. Get pressure
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: on the quarterback. I hate to say that this about
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford, but I'm not all the way bought it yet.
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: Man Hit him on his chin, make him feel it,
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: make him throw some intercessions. Nasty. Who'd you say he
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: said someone in the second Dary is gonna have an
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: interception this year? Excuse me this week. Pressure on them, absolutely.
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: You know I need to see it, and that's that's
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: the one thing to knock him off his game. If
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: he has time to sit back there and throw it
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: over the yard, it's gonna be a long day. And
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: let's just improve on third down in general, right, you
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: know that's offensively, they know they need to improve there.
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: There's not staying on the field long enough. They obviously
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: have exposive plays. They got better in the second half.
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: Think it's the nine ers, but they need seem to
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: be better on third down. The one positive though on
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: third down defensively two weeks ago the Vikings were nine
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: to fourteen last week. The forty nine ers for two
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: or fourteen on third down, so there's been improvement there.
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: They's got to figure it out, man, figure it out
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: own the NFC West take care of business in this division.
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: If you do that, it makes things a lot easier
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: down the Roadbump, do what you have to do. You
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: avoid it losing three games in a row. Now, let's
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: get back on the winning trend. You are eleven eight
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: and eleven against the Rams, russing them. Let's change it man,
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: Thursday night primetime. We know that Russell and Pete Carroll
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: are ready to go on primetime. Should be a great game.
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to it. Oh yeah, I can't wait.
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: I think the Seahawks are thirty three, eight and one
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: when it comes to primetime games under Pete and John,
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: so I'm really excited looking forward to that. Reminder, guys,
