  Speaker 1: The Seahawks coming off a thrilling eighteen to sixteen victory
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: over the Indianapolis Colts.
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: Bump It doesn't matter if that's not how you drew
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: it up. Hey, don't mad he got the W. I
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: don't care if.
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: Jason Myers had six field goals. Nah, I don't care
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: about it because it's a win.
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: Hey. They pay him to kick him, so you might
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: as well make them all of them.
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I prefer extra points out of Jason.
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: He's great, you know what I'm saying. But like he
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: did his thing, and listen Sunday again, Like I said,
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: wasn't what you draw up. You have a forty four
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: year old Philip Rivers coming to Lewinfield has not played
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: a down of football in five years, eighteen hundred days,
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: comes in there.
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: And he hasn't competing.
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no offensive touchdown for the Seahawks two of thirteen
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: and third downs where they found a way to pull
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: out a tough, hard nosed victory, and that's what it's
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: all about.
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: In December, Yeah, man, the Seahawks are now seventeen and
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: five their last twenty two games, which is tied for
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: best in the league. In the Hawks are eleven and
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: three and have everything to play for. This Thursday night
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: got a big one. Oh is it a big one?
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: Something?
• 1:07
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: We're gonna spend plenty of time talking about what I
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: was going down on Thursday night. But before we get
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: to that, we gotta tell you what happened yesterday.
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: When it happened. See what happened was what had happened
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: at first, was what happened was on Hawk Talk.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: There's a reason you play the games, Bumps, And we
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: found that out NFL.
• 1:27
  Speaker 4: Not for long.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: Anything can happen in this league. Phil Rivers comes off
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: the couch and he's ready to play. And honestly, Bump,
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: he looked a lot better than I thought. I knew
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: he was gonna be right mentally, and he got them
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: into situations. Don't get me wrong. He didn't look like
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford or Sam Donald and Roger any of those people,
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: but he came out there, he gave them a chance
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: to win, and he actually played decently.
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you could tell he's lost some juice in the
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: arm for show. But man, he put them in a
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: position to win a ball game, and that's all you
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: could ask for. There's a time where they thought they
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: won that ball game, was celebrating on the sideline's Yeah,
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: the game. It wasn't full offense. Right in the first quarter,
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: both teams traded punts and then traded field goals. The
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: next two drives were in punts as well, and then
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: the Seahawks had a drop pass.
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: You never see that from our guy.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: No, no, I mean that whole It was uncharacteristic that
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: the type of play we're not used to seeing.
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: That drive you're talking about.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: You had to drop pass, you had a penalty, you
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: had a sack, and it was a negative five yard drive.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: The Colts were really how that game started there, winning
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: the field position battle early on, and they continue to
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: do that throughout. They would get a field goal, they
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: made the score six to three early on. The Hawks
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: would answer after you know, three and out, or they
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: would answer with a three out.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: Excuse me, Colts, they don't have their best drive of
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: the game.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: The only touchdown we saw bump It was a ten
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: play fifty eight yard drive that ended with Philip Rivers
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: connected with Josh downs four, an eight yard touchdown they
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: made to score thirteen to three, which is crazy because
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: they had turned and told you this in the booth.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: That was the biggest deficite since the Seahawks lost to
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: the Rams before that and the only time we got
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: to see Uncle Phil doing his little celebration thing. And
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: I was like, I wasn't expecting to see that. But
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: briag ups to them. They get to Coastar play and
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: they came out ready to go.
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it was a good play.
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: Coll him and man had Josh just dragging across the field,
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: so you know, they edit the thing. But the Hawks
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: would answer, what a field goal has time expired and
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: would go into the tunnel trailing thirteen to six, something
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: that we're not used to. The Hawks would then kick
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: another field goal to start the second half, making a
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: score thirteen and nine. This was the only possible This
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: was only possible because a fourth down conversion from Aj Barner.
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: Aj. AJ's putting together a nice little season this year,
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: no question about it.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: I mean, you might not have the crazy numbers that
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: Trey McBride's having over there in Arizona, for example. Obviously
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: Aj is a part of a different thing going on.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: Obviously the Seahawks are eleven and three, the Cardinals three
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: and eleven. But anyway, no, I love what we're seeing
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: from Aj Barner. That was a huge play made that
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: thirteen to nine next three drive, those ending puns before
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: the Seahawks would have their best drive of the day,
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: going eight plays, sixty three yards, settling for another Jason
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: meyersfield goal that made the score thirteen to twelve, still trailing.
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: And the Hawks will force a punt and now to
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: get the ball back and go eighty two yards and
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: eleven plays but stalled out in the red zone, selling
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: for another field goal. There's a theme here taking the
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: League of fifteen team Colts.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: So Bryce Groopy, he gets out there and this is
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: what you referenced a second ago. He kicks a career
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: long sixty yard field goal, and he's hype, hype, Stichen's hype.
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: Everyone hyping their sideline rightfully.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: So they're in playing one of the best teams the
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: NFL on the road down inside a minute and they
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: just kicked a sixty yard field goal to take the lead.
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: They go up sixteen to fifteen.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: But here's something that Mike McDonald should get more credit
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: for across the league his game management skills. Every time
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: you look up at this at the scoreboard fourth quarter
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: for game, you know what happens. Seahawks have all three timeouts.
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: And then with this is a big discussion last night,
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: and while I was going on, people are like, why
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: is he taking the timeouts? Presence of mind, Okay, the
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: way kickers are going this day and age, that's not
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: that hard for them, right, So we need to make
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: sure that there's time for our offense to get down
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: the field and have a chance to score at the
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: end of the game. Pust McDonald gave Brian Ayres kind
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: of the credit for that and helping them to the clock
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: and game management that kept her alive for the offense bump.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: And then Sam Donald had just forty seven seconds left
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: with no timeouts to do his thing.
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he found Rashid Shahed. They were the MVPs of
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: that final drive. Man, it started with a great return
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: by Shaheed, which is clutched. I don't think people talk
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: about that enough either. Man, that thirty seven yard at
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: all twenty excuse me, it was a twenty eight yard return,
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: and then Darnold would find Shahed on completions of seventeen
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: and eight yards. That's set of Meyers kick for the
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: goal ahead, fifty six yard field goal and the Hawks
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: took the lead eighteen sixteen.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and then sugar on top. Phil Rivers comes back out.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: We're gonna talk about this play in a little bit.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: Kobe Bryant seals the deal with then interception. Seahawks get
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: out of there. It wasn't super pretty when they drew
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: it up, but that's how you win football games. In
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: December eighteen to sixteen, and when you look at this
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: box score, bum I mean, the Hawks outgained the Colts
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: three fourteen, two fifteen, but they lost time, possession, the
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: culture five and thirteen h third down, the Seahawks were
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: just two of thirteen.
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: That's hard to win that way.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: Colts out rushed the Seahawks ninety seven to fifty, but
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: the Seahawks did extend their streak to twenty three straight
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: games without allowing one hundred yard rusher, which was pretty
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: impressive considering Jonathan Taylor was running that thing.
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: Twenty five carries held them there just eighty seven yards.
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: Man i thought this might be the week where I
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: did streak ends because Jonathan Taylor, But no, they did
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: their thing. Man. Rivers played okay, eighteen to twenty seven
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: a buck twenty one touchdown, one interception to Hawks had
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: won four in a row and eight of their last nine.
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: You win, you don't apologize. I don't care what it
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: looks like. You get that w You move on.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: You're eleven and three, best record in the NFC. Tie
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: with the Rams setting up the showdown, they were about
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: to talk about bump but overarching, what'd you learn from
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: this game?
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: Man?
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: That uh and then as gotta be pretty and that
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: Myers is clutched and he's probably gonna be NFC Special
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: Teamer of the Week. I think the second time getting
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: this award, he got the Player of the Month. But
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: I learned that there's a lot of fighting this team.
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: And you know, I was looking on the sidelines. I'm
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: trying to check the body language of everybody. Right, it's
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: an ugly game. The offense didn't make too many plays.
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: It didn't make them down the end. No one seemed
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: like they flinched. No one seemed like they were getting
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: on the offense or the defense. Everyone was just in
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: this together. So no, they I didn't want to see this,
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: but I'm glad I saw it come from behind win
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: because that's something I haven't done yet this year.
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and just to win a game in that fashion.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: We've talked about how many different ways they've won football
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: games this year, but to have to do it in
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: the last drive, I thought it was huge for Sam Donald.
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: We know he can do it.
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he would have done it two other times this year,
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: but just really bad luck, you know, outside of his control.
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: But to see him do that at the end of
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: the game, and just to know at any point, every
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: phase of the game has been counted on at some
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: point this year and they've came out big to help
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: the Seahawks get wins.
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: So love to see that. And there's people making plays
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: all over the field. Tuck playmakers told him what.
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: Time it is?
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: Holy Well, in about I don't know, almost ten years
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: of doing this podcast, Bump, this is the first time
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: we were starting playmakers with a kicker.
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: Jason Myers do his thing.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: Six of six, including the game winning fifty six yarder,
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: set a career high in points this season. Now it's
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty three also set a franchise record,
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: where those six made field goals in a game also
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: broke his own franchise record now his thirty seven field
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: goals on the season. Not much you can say from
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: Jason Myers out there helping bail the Seahawks out on Sunday.
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: Meyer's doing his thing. Man doing his thing. Sam Donald
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: had a I called it a responsible game. This was
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: a responsible game from Sam Donald. Twenty two to thirty six,
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: two seventy one, zero touchdowns, zero in susceptions. But he
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: led his eighth game winning drive in the fourth quarter
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: or overtime since twenty twenty four, the second most in
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: the NFL. Who's first is a pat Probably it probably passed, sure,
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: but no. I was talking to Stacy and she was
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: trying to describe it. I go, No, this was just
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: a responsible game. The parents left on vacation. He didn't
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: mess up the house. Everything's still need. He did what
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: he was supposed to do. No, and when I love
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: no turnovers. The two things we just talked about it
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: no turnovers, took care of the football. Came down to
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: that finishing drive to put the Seahawks over top. And
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: what I love too is that third down play right
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: before it, she heat twice and then on third down
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: it's not there.
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: Let me dirt this thing. I'm protecting the football, not
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: giving away in the situation. So Sam doing a great
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: job there, and then Jackson Smith and Jig but of
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: course he's a staple in this segment. Seven receptions, one
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: hundred and thirteen yards. You talked about it. It felt
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: like a sneaky one thirteen. But he had two big plays.
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: He had a thirty nine yarder. I believe he had
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: a twenty nine yarder and just continue to chip away.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: Passed Justin Jefferson for the most ninety yard games in
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: a single season by a player twenty three years or
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: younger with twelve. He also became a sixth player in
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: NFL history at least ninety receiving yards in twelve games
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: in a single season, draining his teammate Cooper Cup, Antonio Brown,
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: Julio Jones, and Michael Irving. Calvin Johnson. Pretty good list beyond.
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: He now has nine to one hundred yard games on
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: the season. That's the most in the NFL and a
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: franchise single season record. Continues to have an unbelievable season.
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: You run out of word to describe Number eleven smooth
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: operator smooth. This next one Rashid Shaheed. Second game in row,
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: he's out over sixty yards. What he got like sixty
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: seven last week?
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: I want to say he had five for seventy four
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: this week, a solid return instead of the game winning
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: field goal. His third career return touchdown was last week.
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: This dude is slowly starting to morph into the guy
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: that we we thought we were gonna get.
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: Now it went his fault.
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: I'm not saying my man wasn't doing his name, but
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: you gotta ge acclimated to this offense.
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: I heard him talk to him. I think it was Bob.
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: Why'ming to Bob and he's talking about how he's just
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: getting the chemistry with Sam Donald. They're starting to field
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: where he's supposed to be on the football field. He's
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: he's an impact player.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: Now for sure they're gonna get there too. I mean,
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: the nearly miss each other down in LA the last
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: time there was one play in this Colts gamer is a
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: little behind. But once that timing is on point and
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: they're almost there, Yeah, it's gonna be scary, especially with
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: those who running with gas and the Cooper Cup. So
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: it could be dangerous out there defensively. Looking at Ernest Jones,
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: ten tackles led the team. He now has one hundred
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: tackles for the fourth consecutive season.
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: Level we're seeing from him.
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: And then Nicki Minore, we spent a lot of time
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: talking about him in the pregame show.
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: One of the most versatile dudes out there.
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: We know the game he had against Atlanta, seven tackles,
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: one sack, one TfL.
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: Once you'd be at two passes defended. Even Warrey doing
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: his thing. He's man, he's not even playing like a
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: rookie anymore.
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: I mean, well, what do we uh, fourteen games in
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: it's about math, correct, fourteen games games, playing bye week,
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: He's he's pasted at the college season. You know, this
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: is where you kind of start to really see what
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: rookies are made of. And I love seeing Nick de
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: Doua saying Leo did his thing too. Five tackles, two TFLs,
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: two quarterback hits. And then of course our guy, Man,
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: I'm so happy for this dude, Kobe Bryant. He's been
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: one of my favorite players since he touched down here.
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: He has three tackles, one pass defendant, one interception instead
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: a single season career high with his fourth pick.
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: I mean he does what he does. Man, I love
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: what we're seeing from him. He is a playmaker. And
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: just to shut it down. And we're about to get
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: to Kobe Bryant, but before we do that, we're flipping
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: over to our plays of the game. Someone who's made
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: a staple in this segment all season long. Sam Darnold
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: hooking up with JSN for a thirty nine yard game play.
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: Fake.
• 11:24
  Speaker 4: Donald steps up in the pocket, goes to the right side,
• 11:27
  Speaker 4: perfect throw. JSN makes a catch, breaks a tackle, forty
• 11:31
  Speaker 4: five forty thirty five run out of bound, thirty yard line,
• 11:36
  Speaker 4: find them, runs them out of bounds far side Jackson
• 11:40
  Speaker 4: Smith and Jigba has.
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: Been an explosion waiting to happen, and he does.
• 11:46
  Speaker 4: There, Donald with a dark getting out of trouble. He
• 11:50
  Speaker 4: spins off a tackler does JSN go thirty nine picks
• 11:55
  Speaker 4: up the first down Seahawks in Indie territory. JSN seven
• 11:59
  Speaker 4: catches one hundred and fourteen yards.
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: All right, man, you got JAYSN.
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: I believe that's Rashi Shahid stacked to the right of
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: Sam Darnold.
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: You got a little zone man.
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: The guy outside the furthest dB outside is gonna drop
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: him too. The zone the guy inside is gonna drop Himo.
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: The flap and the safety over the top. You're pretty
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: much gonna high low that safety, make him, make him
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: make a decision. Right, And now you've got the running
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: back coming out of the backfield that's gonna pull a
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: defender with him. I point all this out because it
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: just shows how spacing works in this whole deal.
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: Right, you got Rashid who's going up high.
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: You got jsm down low running his speed out and
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: he sits it down. I wonder if he sits it
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: down or the throw sits him down because Sam Donald
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: feels that outside defender. Either way it works out. But
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: nas he catches the football yards out of the catch.
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: But what's more impressive to me this is Sam Donald
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: stepping up in that pocket.
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: You got abe doing what exactly we're supposed to do.
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: You guy wants to get too far vertical, you wash
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: him down the field. Sam steps up two hands on
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: the on the rock and then rolls to his right
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: side and just throws a dart. I want to say
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: Sam sat him down because he felt that that dB
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: over there.
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: Great playing.
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you nailed it all in the head right there,
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: Abe Lucas talking about he's also defending their best pass rusher,
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: in my opinion, Latsu Latsu, who was a problem all
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: day long. So that's a great thing there. And Sam
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: his eyes, they they never dropped down at all. You know,
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: Charbonne is there in the flat that yourew defender. If
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: he throws the Charbonnet, it's probably complete. But Sharbon is
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: being tackled immediately. This is a huge play in the game,
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: go aheadfield goal. So love what we saw from standing there,
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: keeping our eyes up down the field. And then Jacksonmith Ajibba,
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: you're doing it on your own. That's a linebacker in
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: a corner, lowing them inside. And if you're a coach,
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: you're like, man, you know he wants to get back outside.
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: I can't tell you, as a defender how many times
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: you've been yelled that when people are like, why are
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: you going inside?
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: He wants to get back outside.
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: But guys like Jayson or that's just smooth operator like
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: you mentioned that kind of wiggle and those are just
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: game winning plays. Good football team make plays like that
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: when they need to. In the clutch and that's what happened.
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: Jayson Sam Darnold been on the paint the same page
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: all year long doing their thing. Now you talked about it.
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: This kind of put the icing on the cake for
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: the Seahawk to get this dub. Kobe Bryant picking off
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: Philip Rivers.
• 14:02
  Speaker 4: Taylor in the backfield. Four Rivers takes the snap, four
• 14:08
  Speaker 4: man rush. Rivers gonna throw down the seam, gonna.
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: Be intercepted, and that's gonna do it. Bowls high to
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: the intended receiver.
• 14:17
  Speaker 4: It is picked off by Kobe Bryant and he races
• 14:22
  Speaker 4: to the south end zone, his fourth interception of the season,
• 14:26
  Speaker 4: a career high. The Seahawks defense, they nail it on
• 14:32
  Speaker 4: the second to last play of the game, picking off
• 14:36
  Speaker 4: Philip Rivers, and that is gonna do it. The Seahawks
• 14:41
  Speaker 4: are gonna hang on and win.
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: All right, man, you got a too high look right here.
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: But let's focus on the formation that the Colts are room.
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: You got trips to the left side of Philip Rivers.
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: I call this like an over concept, right. You got
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: your one guy, your number three receiver who's gonna break
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: around eight to ten yards and try to pull guys
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: with him at like a skinny post that turns flat
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: by the number two receiver, and then you have a
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: dig on that side, and it's just a zone. It's
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: his zone match right, It's a zone. And then once
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: all three get vertical, you see your definishes kind of
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: matchup with each guy. I'm locked up here, Spoon's locked up,
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: and then I think there's that reakup top.
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: Break is locked up as well.
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: So now this is Kobe Bryan following the eyes of
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: the quarterback and getting where he's supposed to be. Kobe
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: Bryant needs to take Witherspoon out to dinner, all right,
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: because he's the one who really makes this happen. But
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: Kobe is a safety. That's why they call him safety.
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: He's the last line of defense. You just get deeper
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: than the deepest and you catch this football. But I mean,
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: I'm sitting here with a safety. What you're seeing from Kobe.
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: Now two things.
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: Number One, you're finding work, knowing time and score situation.
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: You're starting to play about sixteen yard depth. You're getting depth.
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: You're keeping everything in front of you. You mentioned it.
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: Witherspoon is a great job opening his hips. Essentially running
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: the route. The receiver slips down before unfortunate for him there,
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: And I just call that finding work. You're staying over
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: the top. You're not gonna get beat in this situation,
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: right and you just finding work. You where you're supposed
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: to be. You run towards the football. Good things happen there.
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: And the other thing I noticed, too, is this is
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: one of the few situations the whole game where the
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: Seahawks force Philip Rivers to have to push the ball
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: down the field. Obviously it's a time and score. They
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: have to get it right now. There's only X amount
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: of time on the clock. And this is where it looked.
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: That's where it didn't look that great. Yeah, Philip had
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: a step into his throw there, and I love what
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: we saw from the defensive line. Yes, right, it's a
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: nice little stunt there. You got boy Mafe and de
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: Lai working with each other right there, and they make
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: him get this ball out right now. He might want
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: to take another beat, he does not have time because
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: DeMarcus Lawrence boy Mafe creating pressure right there. And then
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: again Witherspoon, great job getting making that ball be elevated.
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: Kobe Bryant doing his thing, catching the football and it
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: all works out.
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: Baby. Yes, sir, team defense, let's go.
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: This team is playing great football and bump. That takes
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: us to who the Seahawks are about to play. We've
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: been talking about this all year long. We've been waiting
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: for to be able to talk about this game because
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: it's finally here, Seahawks taking on the Rams.
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: As we get to that, what's on tap? What's on tap?
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: Bos Angeles Rams Division rivals eleven and three, first place
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: in the NFC West wins over the Texans, Titans, Colts, Ravens, Jags, Saints,
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: forty nine Ers, Seahawks, Bucks, Panthers, Cardinals, Lions. Only lost
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: of this year to the Eagles in the forty nine
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: Ers that Eagles game that was a block kick run
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: back for a touchdown, and that one San Francisco. I
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: don't remember how that game finished on the top of
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: my head, but I remember it's a little sloppy there.
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: Either way. The Rams, we know what it is. Seahawks
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: have played them before this year, you know. And after
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: a crazy loss to the Panthers, which is great because
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: I set this kind of this matchup up with dueling
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: eleven and three records they lost to the Panthers, but
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: they came back. They bounced back strong. Yesterday bump they
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: hosted the Detroit Lions.
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Man, this game was important for both teams, especially
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: the lines.
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: For now two games back of Chicago's surprise pro Chicago
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: hope for they're balling in their theme. They're fine for
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: wildcard spots, so they needed to have this game. Unfortunately
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: for the Seahawks fans, they were unable to get that done.
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: We were all Lions fans yesterday.
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: After missing a field go on the first drive, Aden
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: Hutchinson came up with a big interception and ran it
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: back fifty eight yards to that house. That set upout
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: a Monron Saint Brown touchdown that made the score seven zero.
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: He didn't take it fifty yards at house, but he
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: took it back fifty eight.
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and it was a bounce, you know.
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: They jumped ahead, and I was feeling good about the
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: one two I was watching very closely during the seas
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: game ended up being twenty four to seventeen and a
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: half and then bomb it was all she wrote, seventeen
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: unanswered and the Rams did what they did.
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah, the lines, they tried to make it interesting, right,
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: made a one score game, but the Rams eventually led
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: at the clock up and they were good. Matthew Stafford
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: twenty four to thirty eight, three sixty eight, two touchdowns.
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: He actually threw an interception. He don't do that more
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: that much anymore.
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: Kamen Williams had fifteen carries for seventy eight and two touchdowns.
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: Pooka had a Dame nine receptions for one eighty one
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: and then former see how Kobe Parkerson at five for
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: seventy five yards and two touchdowns. On the other side,
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: Jered Goff was twenty four forty one, three hundred and
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: thirty eight yards and three touchdowns. A mon Rock Saint
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: Brown had thirteen receptions for one sixty four and two touchdowns.
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: Those receivers were going at it yesterday.
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: Man, Yeah, no, right off top. A Monrai is one
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: of the best receivers the league as well. He's definitely
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: in that conversation and for the Rams, Kolbe Parkinson, he is.
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: He's kind of turning into that player that the Seahawks
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: drafting that they are hoping that he would be a
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: red zone target, someone that has clearly really improved in
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: his run blocking ability since he's been in the league
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: and just being a big target down the field. So
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: interesting to see him do that. And he'll be in
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: a fun matchup for the Seahawks on Sunday. These teams,
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: obviously NFC West rivals, they play all the time.
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: Let's know the history, no your history.
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: If you include the postseason bump, the all time series
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: is tied twenty eight to twenty eight. Wow, twenty Seahawks
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: are twenty eight twenty six in the regular season oh
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: to two in the postseason. However, the Rams, unfortunately have
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: won four of the last five ball games. Everyone remembers
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: what happened in that first matchup heartbreaking fashion for the Seahawks,
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: and it came down turnovers. The Seahawks turned the ball
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: over four times and that was really the difference in
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: the game, because if you looked at any other stat
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: you would have thought the Seahawks won. They outgained the
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: Rams four fourteen to two forty nine, held the Rams
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: of two of eleven on third down. Hawks at twenty
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: six first downs they he had twelve. Hawks won time
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: in possession thirty seven forty nine to twenty two to eleven.
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: Sacks hit ran seventy nine plays, Rams ran fifty Matthew
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: Stafford was held one hundred and thirty yards in a
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: season fifty three complete a percentage held the Rams of
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: two hundred and forty nine total yards.
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: Crazy.
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: After giving up two touchdowns early on, the Seahawks forts
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: a punt on a turnover on seven of the last
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: eight RAMS possessions. But again you can't overcome the turnovers.
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: And despite all that, if there wasn't probably the best
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: punt in that situation I've ever seen in my life.
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: Punt right to the pylon, State dies, stays inbound, somehow
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: bounces and then stays in bound.
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: Seahawks have to start that drive at the one.
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: They tried to make it interesting to go fifty six yards,
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: setting up a sixty one yard attempt from Jason Myers.
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: Unfortunately he was not able to hit that one. Seahawks lose,
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: and it was unfortunate for Myers because he was four
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: or four on the day leading up to it. So
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: these teams, I mean, I left that game, I know
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: most people did, feeling confident. You're frustrated, but you're like, listen,
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: we did not have our fastball today and we should
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: have won.
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: Just by all that.
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: You only lose by two against that, so we knew
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: we were getting popcorn ready for this matchup, and we've
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: been circled it, we've been waiting for it.
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: It is here. It is time.
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: But before we finish that matchup, with man's check on
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: what's going on inside the division?
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: What's the word?
• 21:17
  Speaker 4: And the Seahawks or the NFC West champs?
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: Again, what's the word in the West? On Hawk talk?
• 21:24
  Speaker 3: You know this is the best division in football. You
• 21:26
  Speaker 3: got the Rams at eleventh three, the Seahawks at eleventh three.
• 21:29
  Speaker 3: San Francisco with all their injuries are at ten and four,
• 21:31
  Speaker 3: and then the Cardinals, you know, they just want to
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: get the season over with.
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: They are three and eleven.
• 21:36
  Speaker 3: The Rams Sahawks matchup might be the game of the
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: season and the whole entire NFL. Rams are playing goodball,
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: the Hawks are playing goodball. The winner of this game
• 21:44
  Speaker 3: will not only be in the driver's seat for the
• 21:46
  Speaker 3: NFAC West, but also for that number one seed, the Niners.
• 21:50
  Speaker 3: They have to travel to any to take on Philip
• 21:52
  Speaker 3: Rivers and the Colts on Monday, so we'll see what
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: happens there.
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: Can't count them out. But this is this is the
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: game of the week game of the year. Yeah, I mean,
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: there's not a lot else to say.
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: I mean, especially two teams that know each other pretty well,
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: that are fighting for that top spot, and that's what
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: you sign up for, man.
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: And obviously I wish for the players.
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: I wish this game was on Sunday to get a
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: full week for both teams, But for selfishly, for us
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: and fans could be more excited because I wanted this
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: game to get here as quickly as he could. Only
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: other game in the division Cardinals. They went to the Texans,
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: they got Molly Wapps, they lost forty twenty. I'm not
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: gonna go too much into that because it's unfortunately it's
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: irrelevant right now. But Trey mcrian mentioned him earlier. He's
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: gone twelve receptions, one thirty four to two Teddies. Someone's
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: gonna have to pay him anyway. We'll put it back
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: to these rams. But we've been talking about so far.
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: Man up, Hey, who you got, Who you got? You
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: know what time it is?
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: Man up, Man up, brother, man up, man up on
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: Hawk Talk.
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: But this guy, Matthew Stafford, you said it from the
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: beginning of the season. Yeah, man, he has firmly been
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: in this MVP racist whole year and honestly probably the front.
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: Runner, right And I run by saying that, and Drake
• 22:55
  Speaker 3: many I give it to Matthew though.
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: Uh And I mean, look at the season he's having
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: there so so far. He's only been in LA since
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty one. Since he's been there, he's got eighteen
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: thousand yards. He's now fourth all time in Rams franchise history.
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: He was sixty three percent three sixty eight yards, two touchdowns,
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: win interception this last week. It's a seventeenth season, but
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: he might be playing the best football of his career. Bump,
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: as you've talked about all year, also hit a couple
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: of these. Stafford has the most touchdown passes he's had
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: since that Super Bowl season. Leads the league thirty seven
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: touchdown passes. He has the longest completion this year at
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: eighty eight yards, second in yards per game to sixty
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: five first and passer rating one twelve, second in passing
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: yards three thy seven hundred and twenty two, said an
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: NFL record earlier this year with three games at least
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: four touchdown passes, no interceptions, ninth member of the Foign
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: touchdown Club. I mean, Sam, Matthew Stafford has been absolutely balling.
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: The only time he didn't was this year against the
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: Seahawks earlier this year.
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: Yep. Now he deserves all the love that he's getting.
• 23:50
  Speaker 3: But you know what, this defense, let's run this back
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: and if you can force some turnovers and then have
• 23:54
  Speaker 3: them have a tough day like last time we played.
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: I a little bit better about this one coming up.
• 23:58
  Speaker 3: I let's talk about our quarterback Sam Donald. Sam Donald
• 24:01
  Speaker 3: had another solid game against the Colts. It was twenty
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: two or thirty six, two seventy one, zero touchdowns, zero interceptions.
• 24:07
  Speaker 3: He took care of the ball. That's what I want
• 24:09
  Speaker 3: to see. His eighth game winning drive in the fourth
• 24:12
  Speaker 3: or overtime. That's second since twenty twenty four. Again, he's
• 24:16
  Speaker 3: won the league best BEN six in passing number one,
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: and yards per ten number one, and yards per completion
• 24:20
  Speaker 3: number five and pass awating number nine and QBR number
• 24:22
  Speaker 3: eight in NFL completetion percentage with sixty seven point four.
• 24:26
  Speaker 3: The last game was his worst game against the Rams
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: uh twenty nine to forty four, two seventy nine, zero
• 24:32
  Speaker 3: touchdowns and four interceptions. But you know what, that's the
• 24:34
  Speaker 3: pass man. It is when we focus on the pass.
• 24:36
  Speaker 3: We focus on the right now and right now. Sam's
• 24:39
  Speaker 3: coming off a game where he took care of the football,
• 24:41
  Speaker 3: he was responsible.
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: He played well, he played ray game its Atlanta. I
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: love where his heads at and what he's doing right now,
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: so I feel good about that. And he also has
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: been protecting him very well. Donald's only been sacked eighteen
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: times this year, that second in the NFL. So again
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: another matchs look there looking at the running game for
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: the Rams, Kyen Williams. He's been really good since he's
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: been there and taking over back to one thousand yard
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: seasons eighth this year in rushing two hundred eleven carries,
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: one thousand and thirty yards, ten touchdowns. Also got twenty
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: seven receptions two hundred and seven yards and three touchdowns.
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: First game against the Attle, twelve carries, ninety one yards,
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: one touchdown. Most of that damage came in the first half,
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: and we're talking about two plays. You can't erase those
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: two plays. But other than that, he was probably held
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: to like two point whatever yards per carry. But he's explosive.
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: He can hurt you there. Blake Korm another Michigan product
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: that's been doing good things for them, been a solid
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: number two. He's got six hundred and twenty one yards
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: this year, five touchdowns. He's been really good as of late.
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: That first match against Seahawks and he much hit eight
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: carries for ten yards. We know what the Seahawks do.
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: They are really good stopping the run, threaking third in
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: the NFL. So we'll see what happens. And they got
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: twenty three straight games of not allow one hundred yard rusher.
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: I hope that gets twenty four.
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: Let's go.
• 25:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah, good combo there with with Blake Corem and Cavan Williams.
• 25:49
  Speaker 3: All right, pooking the cool DeVante Adams against this secondary
• 25:53
  Speaker 3: and you know, we'll see if Deavante plays. He pulled
• 25:55
  Speaker 3: up a little bit at the end of that game,
• 25:56
  Speaker 3: not just a little last week in a short week
• 25:59
  Speaker 3: now and him me and nothing nice man pookin the
• 26:02
  Speaker 3: Coup has just been going nuts. He what was zad
• 26:06
  Speaker 3: you dub went to BYU snuck on the scene at
• 26:08
  Speaker 3: the Rams. He's the reason why the Rams are like,
• 26:10
  Speaker 3: all right, well, we don't need Cooper Cup over here.
• 26:12
  Speaker 3: Appreciate your services, Cooper Cup and joining us over here.
• 26:15
  Speaker 3: But no, he's good man. In twenty twenty four. You
• 26:17
  Speaker 3: only played in eleven games after suffering a PCL sprame.
• 26:20
  Speaker 3: But in those eleven games he almost had a thousand yards.
• 26:22
  Speaker 3: That's how explosive this dude is. Man seventy nine receptions
• 26:25
  Speaker 3: for nine hundred and ninety yards. What can you say
• 26:29
  Speaker 3: about DeVante Adams when he is healthy? When he is healthy,
• 26:33
  Speaker 3: he is one of the of that the best red
• 26:35
  Speaker 3: zone target we've seen in the last five to ten years.
• 26:37
  Speaker 3: His release game is crazy. We know his hands are graded.
• 26:40
  Speaker 3: A twelve year veteran, he's still out there doing this thing.
• 26:43
  Speaker 3: Three time First team All Pro guy has over twelve
• 26:45
  Speaker 3: thousand yards over one hundred touchdowns. He's fourth in the
• 26:48
  Speaker 3: NFL and career receiving yards amongst active players. He's number
• 26:51
  Speaker 3: one in the NFL and career receiving touchdowns among active players.
• 26:55
  Speaker 3: He's just a receivers receiver. You know they got a
• 26:57
  Speaker 3: nice one to two combo over there in LA.
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, both of them. So at Pooka. He has three
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: games this year with over one hundred and six yards.
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: Two of them are the last two weeks, so he's
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: balling out. Mentioned DeVante, he leads the NFL touchdown receptions.
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: He got fifteen this year, but he hurt the hamstring.
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: It's not looking great. Coach McVeigh said it didn't look
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: good after the game. So we're gonna follow that all week.
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: Definitely a tight turn with a Thursday game. I would
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: be floored if he played on Thursday night, but you
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: never know. That's why he never say never. But there's
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: that in goodness between the two. Yeah, you're right. And
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: last game against Seattle, what did DeVante add one reception,
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: one yard, one touchdown, which is in my book. I'll
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: take that all day long if you're a Seahawk secondary.
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: And I can't even blame Reek for that play. No,
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: because the play before try to set him up outside movies,
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: I'm not gonna beat there and then just set him
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: up for it. He man pressed, man covered. Whatever you
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: want against DeVante Adams in the going in the red zone,
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: good possible luck Yeah, good luck. So I we'll see
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: what happens there. If he's not playing, it'll be about
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: sobbing pookin a cool and rest of that passing attack.
• 27:57
  Speaker 3: Yept. Just talk about the receivers over here. We got JSN,
• 28:00
  Speaker 3: Cooper Cup and Rashid Shite. Jayson continues to do a
• 28:03
  Speaker 3: thing like we said, seven receptions a sneaky one thirteen.
• 28:08
  Speaker 3: He passed Justin Jefferson for the most ninety yard games
• 28:10
  Speaker 3: in a single season by a player twenty three years
• 28:13
  Speaker 3: old or younger in the NFL with twelve. He now
• 28:15
  Speaker 3: has nine to one hundred yard games this season. That's
• 28:18
  Speaker 3: the most enfranchised history leads the NFL, and yards leads
• 28:21
  Speaker 3: the NFL, and yards per game leads the NFL, and
• 28:24
  Speaker 3: yards per touch He's fifth when it comes to per
• 28:27
  Speaker 3: yards per reception. Last time we hooked up with the Rams,
• 28:31
  Speaker 3: he had nine receptions for one oh five. So far
• 28:33
  Speaker 3: this season he has ninety six receptions, fifteen hundred yards
• 28:36
  Speaker 3: and nine touchdowns.
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: It's okay, all right, man, No.
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: And honestly, he could have had more if Sam had
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: a little bit more time than's a couple of routes
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: where he was open. So it'll be interesting to see
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: that Cooper Cup. He's been having a great year, as
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: we know. Forty one receptions, five or nineteen yards, two touchdowns.
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: Not the incredibly flashy numbers. Obviously Jayson is getting most
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: of those, but he's still doing enough. He looks great
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: when he catches the ball. I think we've talking about this.
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: No one tackles him. The first guy never tackles I
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: know at age thirty two, he's still doing it like
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: that as wow, and he'll block and I want to
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: see him have a nice game though against the Rams again,
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: be like Noah, Man, you did mess it out on something.
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: I would love to see him go off and then Rashiji.
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: He coming off his best receiving game of the Seahawk.
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: Five receptions seventy four yards. Last time in LA he
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: was just there, two receptions twenty seven yards. I mentioned,
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: almost had a touchdown in back of the end zone.
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: As him and Sam's timing continues to get better, I'm
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: really looking forward to what he can do, especially with
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: his speed, and what those three can do together gives
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: him general time. Figure out the simulated pressures. We'll have
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: a good game plan.
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: Yes, got it. Please figure out the simulator pressures. We
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: need that.
• 29:38
  Speaker 3: Cooper Cup is just a blue collar, lunch pale, you
• 29:42
  Speaker 3: know type of guy, and he's like he's one of
• 29:44
  Speaker 3: ours us.
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: He's a he's a Washington born and.
• 29:47
  Speaker 3: Raised all right, Jared Verse, Byron Young, these two are
• 29:51
  Speaker 3: a problem.
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: These guys are playmakers up there.
• 29:54
  Speaker 3: Man, number one pick out of Florida State, our first
• 29:57
  Speaker 3: round pick, A shou say Jared verse Man the scene.
• 30:00
  Speaker 3: Last season had a really good rookie campaign. He was
• 30:02
  Speaker 3: a Pro Bowl defensive Rookie of the Year. I'm a
• 30:05
  Speaker 3: twenty twenty four sixty six tackles, four and a half sacks,
• 30:07
  Speaker 3: eleven TfL's, eighteen quarterback hits, two passes defended in two
• 30:11
  Speaker 3: forced fumbles.
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: This season, he's only continued ball. That's what he does
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: so far this year.
• 30:15
  Speaker 3: Forty five tackles, six sacks, nine TFLs, twenty two quarterback hits,
• 30:19
  Speaker 3: and three force fumbles.
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: He has a problem.
• 30:22
  Speaker 3: Last time we saw him three tackles, one pass defended,
• 30:25
  Speaker 3: one quarterback hit.
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they have a great front. Is another week facing
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: another good front. He will ruin the game if you
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: let him. And then Byron Young He's a dude lesser
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: known int la.
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: I mean, maybe you're not paying attention if you don't
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: know his name, but if you don't, should pay attention.
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: Sixty eight tackles, eleven sacks, ten TFLs, twenty four QB hits,
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: one force fumble. His eleven sacks was typh for seventh
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: in the NFL. I know the Seahawks offensive line knows
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: who the man is for and there's plenty other ones.
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: I'm just I just called out two in that front seven.
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: They can bring pressure. We saw it, we knew it
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: happened that first game. So the Seahawks definitely up for
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: text Siam Darnold Young had six tackles in just one
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: QB hit, so he wasn't a game wrecker in that
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: first game. So if you keep both those two those honestly,
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: I'll take those stat lines against the players of that caliber.
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: So really looking forward to what this Seahawks upfront can do.
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: Only a lot of eighteen sacks this year, so it's
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: gonna be a fun matchup. Get your popcorn ready. We're
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: gonna tell you how to get it done. On Thursday.
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: Path to victory.
• 31:21
  Speaker 4: After forty five waits for the staff, Michael Dixon puts
• 31:24
  Speaker 4: it down.
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: That kick is away. If that kick is gone, the
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: sayof whin it's gone, it's a path to victory.
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: On Hawk Talk we talked about it. It is the
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: game of the year. This game has been circled in
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: everyone's calendar since that week eleven loss. Seahawks have run
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: the table since that game, winning the last four games,
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: and we know in this building, the players, the coaching staff,
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: they don't treat it like that. Every game has been
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: the biggest game of the year. And that's not just
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: lip service, that's not just coach peak. That's how they've
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: treated it. But guess what that week, that game is
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: next week, So it is the biggest game of the year,
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: and their minds just like we see it. For us,
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: we know there's major playoff implication. We're not gonna run
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: from that. That's reality. But this Seahawks team, I think,
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: is ready to go bump and for them to get
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: this win, it is going to start up front. Can't
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: take that enough and take care of that football. Four
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: turnovers and shortfield really cost him in.
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: That first game. Yeah, man, you can.
• 32:13
  Speaker 3: You can't give a free money, no free money to
• 32:15
  Speaker 3: the rams man because they will take advantage of it.
• 32:17
  Speaker 3: You got to figure out a way to pick up
• 32:19
  Speaker 3: the simulated pressures. This is and listen, easier said than done,
• 32:23
  Speaker 3: of course, understand it. They're gonna they're gonna show like
• 32:26
  Speaker 3: they're bringing five, They're gonna drop this guy, bring that guy.
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: Are they bringing five or six?
• 32:30
  Speaker 3: No, it's just four like it's it's hard to do,
• 32:33
  Speaker 3: and I know that's gonna be a point of emphasis
• 32:34
  Speaker 3: for these guys, and they gotta start fast.
• 32:36
  Speaker 4: Man.
• 32:36
  Speaker 3: The last three games of the Seahawks have they've had
• 32:38
  Speaker 3: some slow starts. You can't have that against this Rams team, no.
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: No question about it, because you don't want to be
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: in a game against where you feel like, oh man,
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: one mistake can lose it for us. Granted, the way
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: this defense is playing, you feel a little bit better,
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: but you definitely cannot start against a team like that
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: and then defensively get after Matthew Stafford. We know how
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: good he is against the Blitz, like historically good against
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: the Blitz. So when you take your get home and
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: for all all the other times like this front seven
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: has been doing to this front four, get pressure when
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: you can there.
• 33:06
  Speaker 3: I mean, the Seahawks had a performance worse the last
• 33:09
  Speaker 3: time we saw him, right, So keep doing what you're
• 33:11
  Speaker 3: doing and then pooking the cooling. He can't have another game,
• 33:14
  Speaker 3: third game to row with over on one to sixty.
• 33:16
  Speaker 3: Can can't have it and be physical with him. We
• 33:19
  Speaker 3: know he's a good runner with the football in his hands.
• 33:21
  Speaker 3: Rally to the football. You have to talk of that, dude,
• 33:23
  Speaker 3: and you've earned this opportunity. Baby, Come on now, come
• 33:26
  Speaker 3: on for the number one seed. It doesn't get any
• 33:29
  Speaker 3: bigger than this. And this is why they play the games.
• 33:31
  Speaker 3: This is as the Seahawk fan. That's why you're root.
• 33:32
  Speaker 3: That's why you get to talk trash to your ram
• 33:34
  Speaker 3: fans wherever they're at. There's not a ton of them,
• 33:36
  Speaker 3: but the boons that are out there. I'm from LA,
• 33:38
  Speaker 3: so yeah, there's a lot of them.
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: Am I fan?
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: No?
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: I know.
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: And here's the thing, this is get your pop already.
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: These guys are gonna do it out. I cannot wait
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: to talk about this game, to watch it, to cover it.
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: We'll be back afterwards, hopefully talking about a Seahawks victory
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: and what that means for the rest of the season.
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: He's Michael Bumpins, some NASA chobe. This has been off
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: talk
