Speaker 1: You're listening to Hawk Talk with former Seahawks wide receiver
0:04
Speaker 1: Michael Bumpus. Playfac go to roll right, jumps it off
0:07
Speaker 1: into the right class to Michael Bumpers, who bounces off
0:09
Speaker 1: on one tackler gets inside the forty down of the
0:12
Speaker 1: thirty five yard line. Powered by seahawks dot Com map
0:15
Speaker 1: pump fakes looking at the goal line, he trows it
0:17
Speaker 1: into the end zone. Touchdown. Say Hawks, it's Michael Bumpus
0:21
Speaker 1: with a diving catching the end zone ten yard touchdown
0:25
Speaker 1: reception for Bumpus and the kid out of Washington State
0:28
Speaker 1: has found himself a place on this team. Now here's
0:32
Speaker 1: your host, Nasa Chuby. Welcome into another edition of Hawks Hawk,
0:36
Speaker 1: this time the preview edition as the Seahawks head into
0:39
Speaker 1: Week seventeen looking to get back on track as they
0:42
Speaker 1: lost five in their last six games. But right now,
0:44
Speaker 1: none of that matters because it's playoff football. It's real simple.
0:47
Speaker 1: The Seahawks gotta go out strong this season, winning two
0:49
Speaker 1: of their last games to get into the playoffs and
0:52
Speaker 1: a little bit of help. So it should be fun
0:54
Speaker 1: as the Hawks return back to lumin Field to take
0:56
Speaker 1: on the New York Jets. What's untapped. These Jets bumped
1:04
Speaker 1: seven and eight, third place in the AFC East. This season,
1:09
Speaker 1: They've lost to the Baltimore Ravens, the Bengals, the Patriots twice,
1:12
Speaker 1: the Vikings, the Bills, the Lions, and the Jags. Man
1:16
Speaker 1: they're having kind of a similar season to the Seahawks, Bump,
1:18
Speaker 1: the more I dive into this thing, both teams were
1:21
Speaker 1: seven and eight, they had a four game win streak
1:24
Speaker 1: at one point. At one point, they're six and three,
1:26
Speaker 1: flying high. Things were good, and they have lost five
1:29
Speaker 1: of their last six games. A big difference though. Unlike
1:32
Speaker 1: the Seahawks, the Jets have had QB issues go lower
1:35
Speaker 1: all season long. Zach Wilson, Mike White, Joe Flacco, Chris
1:38
Speaker 1: Streveler have all seen gang action this year. So when
1:42
Speaker 1: you look at this matchup, both teams need to win
1:44
Speaker 1: this game to get into the postseason. They're kind of
1:46
Speaker 1: right in that same mode as win right now to
1:49
Speaker 1: get in the playoffs. So it should be a fun matchup.
1:52
Speaker 1: But as similar as they are record wise and what's
1:54
Speaker 1: happened to this year, Bump, they're very different teams in
1:57
Speaker 1: terms of offensive defense and how things are really played out. Yeah,
2:00
Speaker 1: for sure. These are the what do you call that
2:03
Speaker 1: parallel universe? He got the NFC in the ANFC. These
2:07
Speaker 1: are the teams that resemble each other. They both have
2:09
Speaker 1: pretty good drafts, they both have rookies playing well, but
2:13
Speaker 1: when you come to the specifics of each team, they
2:16
Speaker 1: are a bit different. So I'm looking forward to see one.
2:19
Speaker 1: Can the Hawks continue what they did last week against
2:23
Speaker 1: the Chiefs when it comes to the defense, right, you're
2:25
Speaker 1: one up against the best offense in the Lamb. Can
2:28
Speaker 1: you repeat that performance against an offense that's struggling, that quarterback,
2:32
Speaker 1: doesn't have their running back, have some receiver at the
2:35
Speaker 1: white out spot. But should be a team that you
2:37
Speaker 1: should handle. So I'm excited. Man, it's an opportunity, another
2:41
Speaker 1: another championship opportunity. As Pete Carroll likes to say, let's
2:44
Speaker 1: go get it. No, absolutely, and let's let's take a
2:47
Speaker 1: look back at their game last week and mooting a
2:49
Speaker 1: little bit since they played. They played on Thursday night Football,
2:52
Speaker 1: took on the Jaguars and man, it was rough for
2:54
Speaker 1: them boys out there. Man, they lost to Jacks nineteen
2:57
Speaker 1: to three. The Jets only got points really because on
3:00
Speaker 1: the first drive of the game the Jaguars fumbled, given
3:04
Speaker 1: the Jests the ball on the Jacksonville sixteen yard line,
3:06
Speaker 1: and even on this scoring drive pump, the Jets had
3:09
Speaker 1: negative yardage lost three yards, but ready in field range,
3:12
Speaker 1: kicked that thing through and then from that point it
3:15
Speaker 1: was it was all jackson They're nineteen unanswered points. When
3:18
Speaker 1: you look at their depth drive chart after that first one,
3:20
Speaker 1: it's punt punt, punt, interception, punt punt downs, fumbled downs.
3:25
Speaker 1: So was not a good day at the office. Granted,
3:28
Speaker 1: the Jaguars are actually playing some pretty good football right now,
3:30
Speaker 1: but it was not a good game. Zach Wilson was
3:32
Speaker 1: benched in the second half after he went nine of
3:34
Speaker 1: eighteen for ninety two yards, one interception, was sack three times.
3:39
Speaker 1: Chris Streveler came in. He didn't do much better. He
3:41
Speaker 1: did lead the team in rushing and the Jacks are
3:44
Speaker 1: able to capitalize on two turnovers that dominated time of possession.
3:48
Speaker 1: News this week that Robert Sala came out and said, hey,
3:50
Speaker 1: Mike White, you're back at it. Those ribs are good
3:52
Speaker 1: to go. He will start against the Seahawks this week.
3:55
Speaker 1: Joe Flacco will be the backup, so that means Zach
3:57
Speaker 1: Wilson is not even going to be active this week.
4:00
Speaker 1: Jets are so fighting to the playoff lives as I mentioned,
4:02
Speaker 1: but need to win out and need the Patriots to
4:04
Speaker 1: lose one of their last two games. So bump. When
4:07
Speaker 1: you look at this head to add, what have you
4:08
Speaker 1: seen from these guys? Well, let me say this is
4:10
Speaker 1: the last wee've seen him, Zach Wilson as a starter
4:12
Speaker 1: for the Jets. It's a rap. They're gonna move more
4:14
Speaker 1: from that situation. Okay, call it now. Calling it now,
4:17
Speaker 1: I'm calling it out. It's a rap for that dude.
4:18
Speaker 1: He'll get an opportunity a few years down the road
4:21
Speaker 1: somewhere else. But head to head, man, you look at
4:23
Speaker 1: these two teams are both seven and eight. When it
4:26
Speaker 1: comes to their offense, the Hawks are ranked thirteenth, the
4:29
Speaker 1: Jets are ring twenty first. When it comes to running
4:31
Speaker 1: the ball, the Hawks twenty first. They are twenty fourth.
4:33
Speaker 1: Passing the ball the Hawks or eleventh, the Jets are fourteenth.
4:36
Speaker 1: And points per game the Hawks are ninth in the
4:39
Speaker 1: Jets are twenty fifth, averaging eighteen point nine points per game.
4:42
Speaker 1: When you come to the defense, this is where it
4:44
Speaker 1: starts to change. A little bit. The Jets are number
4:47
Speaker 1: three overall, allowing three hundred and nine yards per game.
4:51
Speaker 1: That number kind of surprised me a bit. They're eleventh
4:53
Speaker 1: against the run, fifth against the past, and fourth when
4:57
Speaker 1: it comes to points allowed. On paper, this is they
5:00
Speaker 1: better defense the Jets then the Seahawks. We already know
5:03
Speaker 1: about the corner matchup. We'll talk about that later. To
5:05
Speaker 1: Terrick Woollen and Sauce Garner. The Jets have three Pro
5:09
Speaker 1: Bowlers on defense. The Hawks have two Pro Bowlers on defense. Again,
5:13
Speaker 1: like I said, Paralo Universe, these teams are so similar.
5:16
Speaker 1: You look at the numbers, there are some disparity there,
5:18
Speaker 1: but when you break it all down, they are similar.
5:21
Speaker 1: They the Hawks have eleven interceptions, the Jets have twelve.
5:24
Speaker 1: When it comes to the turn off of differential, the
5:26
Speaker 1: Hawks are even at zero time for their team and
5:28
Speaker 1: the Jets are twenty six with minus four. Yeah, we
5:33
Speaker 1: need some more of that. The Seahawks were so ahead
5:36
Speaker 1: in that category. This have not been able to take
5:38
Speaker 1: away the football in recent weeks. So open though, Seahawks
5:40
Speaker 1: can get on that because they're gonna need it. Take
5:42
Speaker 1: advantage of Mike White coming back in this game. See
5:44
Speaker 1: if they can cause some turnovers. But the Seahawks and
5:47
Speaker 1: Jets do have a little bit of history, not as
5:49
Speaker 1: much as the teams we just played recently, but they do,
5:52
Speaker 1: so let's know the history, no your history. Seahawks lead
5:57
Speaker 1: the all time series twelve to eight, winning the last
5:59
Speaker 1: four matchups after losing the previous five. The last meeting
6:03
Speaker 1: was an absolute beat down bump at Looming Field forty
6:07
Speaker 1: to three. During that COVID season, Jets got on the
6:10
Speaker 1: board first with a field goal in the opening possession,
6:12
Speaker 1: but from there and on out it was all Seahawks.
6:14
Speaker 1: Seahawks score forty unanswered points, including five touchdowns. This was
6:18
Speaker 1: a laugher from early on. Russell Wilson went twenty one
6:21
Speaker 1: to twenty seven, two hundred and six yards, four touchdowns,
6:23
Speaker 1: one pick. Everyone kind of got involved. He had nine
6:25
Speaker 1: players catching passes, four different receivers catching touchdowns. The Hawks
6:29
Speaker 1: were up enough that Geno Smith even got in the
6:32
Speaker 1: ball game. He went four or five for thirty three yards.
6:35
Speaker 1: And this was a game where Jamal Adams set the
6:37
Speaker 1: NFL record for most sacks in a single season by
6:39
Speaker 1: defensive back against his former team. I cannot wait to
6:43
Speaker 1: see that man back in action, especially because Seahawk fans
6:46
Speaker 1: forget that that's what he can add to this game.
6:48
Speaker 1: I know, you know, everyone's judgment of him being here
6:51
Speaker 1: has been clouded by him not playing and him being
6:53
Speaker 1: hurt and whatnot, and you know, being in a role
6:55
Speaker 1: that might not have suited him at times this year.
6:57
Speaker 1: But the man is electric. There's a reason the Seahawks
6:59
Speaker 1: got him. He sent a record for sacks for defensive back.
7:02
Speaker 1: So I really missed that, dude, Jamal. I know he's rehabbing.
7:04
Speaker 1: He was at the facility a couple of weeks ago,
7:06
Speaker 1: so it was good to check in and see him.
7:08
Speaker 1: So can't wait till he's back doing that thing cause
7:10
Speaker 1: in Havoc and hopefully can you know, give us some
7:13
Speaker 1: of that good energy as we head in to this
7:15
Speaker 1: game with the Jets. But before we do that, let's
7:17
Speaker 1: check on what's going on in the NFC West. What's
7:19
Speaker 1: the word? And the Seahawks or the NFC West champs? Again,
7:28
Speaker 1: what's the word in the West? On Hot Talk, things
7:34
Speaker 1: remain the same. San Franz at top of the division
7:37
Speaker 1: eleven and four, the only team over five hundred, the
7:39
Speaker 1: Hawks for seven and eight, Cardinals five and ten in
7:42
Speaker 1: the Rams are four and eleven. Now, last week we
7:46
Speaker 1: have the Broncles versus the Rams. It don't feel good
7:49
Speaker 1: rooting for division rival, but that's exactly what you needed
7:52
Speaker 1: to go down both of these teams, the Rams and
7:54
Speaker 1: the Broncles entered this game at four in ten. But
7:58
Speaker 1: no one's ready for what happened during this game. The
8:01
Speaker 1: Rams got her done fifty one to fourteen. They beat
8:05
Speaker 1: down the Broncos. Russell Wilson he was picked out twice,
8:08
Speaker 1: once by his former teammate Bobby Wagner. Pass. Oh my godness,
8:12
Speaker 1: center sup day as Bobby Wagner taken it away from
8:19
Speaker 1: his former teammates. They're great pals, but I'm not sure
8:24
Speaker 1: they are at the moment as far as Russell Wilson's concerned.
8:27
Speaker 1: Because Bobby Wagoner jumps right in front of Dulstch and
8:31
Speaker 1: comes away with the pick. Wow, I want to start
8:35
Speaker 1: for the Rams and their defense right, Go ahead and
8:37
Speaker 1: watch right there. He tries to look off and Bobby
8:41
Speaker 1: Wagner doesn't buy the look to the right. Yeah, man.
8:44
Speaker 1: Bobby seems to reserve his best games for teams he
8:47
Speaker 1: used to play for and guys used to play with
8:49
Speaker 1: apparently because he tore it up against the Seahawks and
8:53
Speaker 1: obviously he gets a pick right here against Russell Wilson,
8:55
Speaker 1: and Wilson had a horrible day man fifteen and twenty
8:57
Speaker 1: seven two fourteen, one touchdown and three interceptions. He was
9:01
Speaker 1: sacked six times. One of the bright spots for the
9:04
Speaker 1: Broncos Zoe was Jerry Jody has six receptions for one
9:07
Speaker 1: seventeen and Sean McVay has Baker Mayfield playing some decent
9:11
Speaker 1: football in three games. On Sunday, Mayfield was twenty four
9:14
Speaker 1: twenty eight, two thirty two touchdowns in zero interceptions. Cam
9:18
Speaker 1: Acre also had Acres sorry also had a game. He
9:21
Speaker 1: had one eighteen on twenty three carries and three touchdowns.
9:24
Speaker 1: But most appartently, the Lass keeps the Seahawks in the
9:27
Speaker 1: number three draft position for next April. Broncos, keep doing
9:31
Speaker 1: what you're doing. On other news, the Broncos let go
9:34
Speaker 1: of Nathaniel Hackett on Monday after a four and eleven start.
9:38
Speaker 1: You don't wish bad on any of these guys, but
9:40
Speaker 1: you kind of felt this coming, and it's just crazy
9:43
Speaker 1: to see where the Broncos are now to oppose to
9:46
Speaker 1: six months ago when this trade went down and they
9:49
Speaker 1: thought they were super Bowl bound. Football has a way
9:52
Speaker 1: of humbling people real quickly. No question, it's a National
9:55
Speaker 1: football league. Everybody gets paid. But it's really interesting to see,
9:58
Speaker 1: especially being in this building, that trade did go down,
10:01
Speaker 1: and just what people were saying about Pat Carroll, when
10:04
Speaker 1: people were saying about this organization and what they decided
10:06
Speaker 1: to do and how could they do that? And the
10:08
Speaker 1: Broncos were going to be Super Bowl champs, They're one
10:10
Speaker 1: quarterback away, all this stuff and before you know, life
10:13
Speaker 1: comes at your fast. It turns out Pete Carroll, John Schneider,
10:16
Speaker 1: everyone in this organization does indeed know what they're doing.
10:19
Speaker 1: And yeah, man, life comes at your fast. You know.
10:23
Speaker 1: It sucks for Nathaniel Hacket. I know Brian Walters, who's
10:26
Speaker 1: on our pre and postgame show from time to time,
10:28
Speaker 1: he played under him in Jacksonville. He speaks really highly
10:31
Speaker 1: of Nathaniel King. But you know, it was what it was,
10:34
Speaker 1: you know, four to eleven. It didn't end well. But
10:38
Speaker 1: right now it's about the Seahawks and they're they're doing
10:40
Speaker 1: their thing. I want that draft pick bump, so I
10:42
Speaker 1: feel good about that. Bucks Cardinals, Cardinals horrible season continuing
10:47
Speaker 1: on Christmas Day and Blue a sixteen to six league
10:49
Speaker 1: plassa Bucks in overtime. We don't need to spend much
10:51
Speaker 1: time talking about that because we need to spend time
10:53
Speaker 1: talking about this playoff picture bump. All right, man, it's simple.
10:56
Speaker 1: Here's what it is. The Seahawks they're on the outside
10:59
Speaker 1: looking in right down that eight seed. Here's what they
11:02
Speaker 1: gotta do. They gotta win out, so they gotta beat
11:04
Speaker 1: the Jets, beat the Rams. Then they need the Commanders
11:07
Speaker 1: to lose to either Cleveland or Dallas at home, and
11:10
Speaker 1: then a Green Bay to lose one of its final
11:12
Speaker 1: two games to Minnesota or Detroit. Seahawks have the tiebreaker
11:16
Speaker 1: over Detroit. They also have the tiebreaker over the Giants,
11:18
Speaker 1: but that's irrelevant because the Giants ties, so that kind
11:20
Speaker 1: of negated that. So it's pretty simple. Seahawks got to
11:24
Speaker 1: take care but this win those games, and they need
11:26
Speaker 1: Washington and Green Bay to lose one of two games,
11:29
Speaker 1: which is very simple something I think that can legitimately happen. Washington,
11:33
Speaker 1: and now today they're starting Carson Wentz. Bumpson Wentz, so
11:38
Speaker 1: he's back, you know. I think that's a good thing
11:40
Speaker 1: for Seahawk games, I don't know. I have a good
11:43
Speaker 1: vibe about that. You know, the Browns, who knows what
11:45
Speaker 1: they're gonna do in Dallas. I'm hoping they have something
11:48
Speaker 1: in play for in the last week. Even if they
11:49
Speaker 1: don't have something to play for it because Philly's already
11:51
Speaker 1: clints the division, I don't think it matters much because
11:53
Speaker 1: I don't know if Dallas is gonna rest guys because
11:56
Speaker 1: I don't think at that point they want to have,
11:58
Speaker 1: you know, be playing well into the playoffs. So we'll see.
12:01
Speaker 1: But if you look at the remaining schedule for the
12:03
Speaker 1: rest of the teams, Giants taken on Indian Philly, like
12:06
Speaker 1: I said, Washington taken on Cleveland and Dallas, Detroit taking
12:10
Speaker 1: on Chicago, and green Bay. Green Bay taking on Minnesota
12:13
Speaker 1: and Detroit. The one thing bump that does make me nervous.
12:18
Speaker 1: I'm hoping everything all the stars aligned this weekend. The
12:20
Speaker 1: Seahawks win, Washington and green Bay lose this week, so
12:24
Speaker 1: we'll get that out of the way, and the week
12:25
Speaker 1: eighteen is just winning. You're in for the Seahawks. What
12:28
Speaker 1: does scare me if it doesn't get there? If you're
12:31
Speaker 1: depending on green Bay to lose to Detroit at home
12:35
Speaker 1: in Week eighteen with a chance to go to the playoffs.
12:38
Speaker 1: That's what scares me because I have no faith just
12:40
Speaker 1: from history and everything going on, that Detroit can go
12:43
Speaker 1: into Lambeau and win in your in situation and get
12:45
Speaker 1: that done in the cold. So that one scares me.
12:48
Speaker 1: I'm not saying it can't happen because Dan Campbell has
12:50
Speaker 1: em boys playing well. I'm just saying that one scares me.
12:54
Speaker 1: But I feel good about the Seahawks chances. What do
12:56
Speaker 1: you think, nah? I feel you That's the one game
12:59
Speaker 1: that scares me because you still got Aaron Rodgers. No
13:02
Speaker 1: matter how you slice it, no matter how you put it,
13:04
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers when he has an opportunity to make something happen,
13:08
Speaker 1: more than likely he does. He's a future Hall of Famer,
13:10
Speaker 1: one of the best play of the Game, four time MVP.
13:13
Speaker 1: He's looking at the Detroit Lions like, all right, let's
13:15
Speaker 1: get it. So hopefully it doesn't get to that. If
13:17
Speaker 1: it does get to that, then we'll be nervous. But
13:20
Speaker 1: Hawks just take care of business, right. You do what
13:22
Speaker 1: you have to do and then control the things you
13:25
Speaker 1: can control. Right. The cliche that's out there, So yeah, man,
13:29
Speaker 1: I'll be nervous too, but this Hawks man take care
13:32
Speaker 1: of business and then let the rest just happen. Yeah,
13:35
Speaker 1: and the one thing Seawk fans that will be interesting
13:37
Speaker 1: is Washington is playing in the ten am window on Sunday,
13:41
Speaker 1: so everyone will be able to listen to that. If
13:44
Speaker 1: you're listening on the radio on Sunday, you can hear
13:45
Speaker 1: Curtis Rodgers giving you guys updates on that. But that
13:48
Speaker 1: game we're gonna be watching for for sure. Green Bay
13:50
Speaker 1: plays at one twenty five while the Seahawks are playing,
13:52
Speaker 1: so we will keep you guys posted through our game
13:55
Speaker 1: down that. But it should be fun at the end
13:57
Speaker 1: of the day. If you have a chance to get
13:58
Speaker 1: in the postseason in week seventeen, you're doing something right.
14:00
Speaker 1: So excited about that. But again, like bum said, control
14:04
Speaker 1: that you can control the New York Jets or something
14:06
Speaker 1: the Seats can't control. So let's get back into that game.
14:09
Speaker 1: Man up, this man up on Hawk Talk. All right,
14:21
Speaker 1: let's talk about some of these matchups. Man, you got
14:23
Speaker 1: Mike White versus the Seahawks defense. But it's been a
14:27
Speaker 1: lot going on with the QB situation over there in
14:30
Speaker 1: New York for the Jets. The Jet situation has been
14:33
Speaker 1: brutal all season long, and start the preseason when Zach
14:36
Speaker 1: Wilson then he hurts his name. Joe Flacco comes in
14:38
Speaker 1: the first three games, he goes one and two. Then
14:41
Speaker 1: Zach Wilson returns. He took over the starting jobs and
14:44
Speaker 1: they were playing pretty good. At one point they won
14:46
Speaker 1: four in a row, five of seven. They had wins
14:49
Speaker 1: over the Bills and the Dolphins. This is when we're
14:51
Speaker 1: starting to think, Okay, these Jets, they might be for real,
14:55
Speaker 1: but not because of Zach Wilson. He didn't play well. Man.
14:59
Speaker 1: Things can a head. After ten to three loss to
15:01
Speaker 1: the Patriots, Wilson was nine to twenty two for that
15:04
Speaker 1: game for seventy seven yards, and he was asked by
15:06
Speaker 1: the media like, did you let your defense down? This
15:09
Speaker 1: guy could not read the room if he had an
15:11
Speaker 1: interpreter and all the resources in the world. He said, no, no,
15:17
Speaker 1: he did not have the defense down. Someone needs to
15:19
Speaker 1: teach his young man. You take all the bullets as
15:21
Speaker 1: the quarterback man. So Wilson was bench. Mike White starts
15:25
Speaker 1: next and the Jets go one and two, and it
15:27
Speaker 1: starts by Mike White, and the offense looked good man,
15:30
Speaker 1: but Mike White he broke some ribs against the Bills
15:33
Speaker 1: in Week fourteen, so Zach Wilson was back in the
15:35
Speaker 1: starting lineup. Then he struggled again. He gets benched in
15:37
Speaker 1: the third quarter and then the Jack excuse me, the
15:41
Speaker 1: Jets go to Chris Streveler. Now Mike White is ready
15:44
Speaker 1: to go, said, say left, We're gonna ride with this guy.
15:47
Speaker 1: So it's been there's been no consistency in the Jets play.
15:51
Speaker 1: There's been no consistency at the quarterback spot. Like I
15:55
Speaker 1: mentioned before, I think we've seen the last of Zack
15:56
Speaker 1: Wilson as a starting quarterback for the Jets. So they're
16:00
Speaker 1: moving forward and they're moving forward with Mike White. And
16:02
Speaker 1: these the jess players are behind Mike White. You see
16:04
Speaker 1: the shirts that they they're wearing supporting Mike White. There's
16:07
Speaker 1: something about his personality that they gravitate to. Zach's dunne
16:11
Speaker 1: in New York Man. Yeah, and White's actually done. I
16:14
Speaker 1: mean the games he has played, He's eighty for one
16:17
Speaker 1: twenty nine, nine hundred and fifty two yards, three touchdowns,
16:20
Speaker 1: tune reception in sack five times. QB rating of eighty
16:23
Speaker 1: five point as the highest of all three quarterbacks that
16:25
Speaker 1: have started this year. So yeah, I mean they're playing
16:28
Speaker 1: well for him. I feel like it re energized that team.
16:30
Speaker 1: You know, they played a close game against the Bills
16:32
Speaker 1: when he got the ribs broken. They lost that game
16:35
Speaker 1: by a touchdown, so they were in that game. You know,
16:37
Speaker 1: he balled out in the one game against the Bears.
16:39
Speaker 1: You can say what you wanted about that, but he
16:41
Speaker 1: has he has him inspired, has him, you know, feeling
16:43
Speaker 1: good about that offense. Jets or twenty first in total
16:45
Speaker 1: offense and then fourteen against in pass offense, Seahawks twenty
16:49
Speaker 1: nine in total defense and seventeenth against the pass. Now
16:53
Speaker 1: flipping over to art quarterback, who if he ever made
16:56
Speaker 1: a mistake, which is very seldom far in between, he's
16:59
Speaker 1: a dumb guy, went to at himself. Takes all kinds
17:01
Speaker 1: of ownership. That is an example for anyone out there
17:04
Speaker 1: if you even if you even if it wasn't your fault.
17:07
Speaker 1: He's just a stand up teammate. And that's Gino Smith.
17:09
Speaker 1: As we get into this matchup, and Gino, you know,
17:12
Speaker 1: he's had a tough couple of weeks and not that
17:15
Speaker 1: he's played bad by any means, but he's played some
17:17
Speaker 1: tough competition. There's been a lot of pressure on him,
17:20
Speaker 1: you know, not just pressure figured he'll be actual pressure
17:23
Speaker 1: from defensive line. Kansas City was all over him. That
17:25
Speaker 1: San Francisco was all over him as well. He was
17:27
Speaker 1: twenty five or forty four two fifteen, one touchdown, one
17:30
Speaker 1: pick against the Chiefs. Playing without Tyre Lockett really hurt him.
17:33
Speaker 1: With a lot of young guys playing. He was sacked
17:35
Speaker 1: twice and hit seven times, and he had a season
17:38
Speaker 1: low seventy four point five QB rating. You know, but
17:41
Speaker 1: despite all that, Gino again just like usual, still the
17:44
Speaker 1: NFL leader in completion percentage at seventy percent, eighth in passing, fourth,
17:48
Speaker 1: in touchdowns fifth, and passer rating, fifth in QBR, throwing
17:52
Speaker 1: for three thousand and eight hundred and eighty six yards,
17:53
Speaker 1: twenty seven touchdowns and nine interceptions. But bump, all that
17:57
Speaker 1: number stuff right now means nothing. Nothing. This game. We
18:03
Speaker 1: can say this, Gino won't say this. No one will
18:05
Speaker 1: say that because he's about his business. He's gonna take
18:07
Speaker 1: care of business first. It's about the playoffs and all
18:09
Speaker 1: that jazz. But you're going against your former team, as
18:12
Speaker 1: the starter, as the guy. It's the second time Gino
18:16
Speaker 1: has gone against his former team, but the last time
18:18
Speaker 1: was as a backup. As I mentioned, you know your
18:20
Speaker 1: history earlier. Now this is different. Both teams are playing
18:23
Speaker 1: for their playoff lives. You're going against a team that
18:27
Speaker 1: gave up on you, that didn't put you in a
18:29
Speaker 1: position to succeed, that kind of casted you and put
18:32
Speaker 1: you in a light as someone who can never be
18:34
Speaker 1: successful in this league, and you get your chance to
18:37
Speaker 1: take them out and their playoff hopes in bolster yours
18:41
Speaker 1: who as a as a normal I just hearing that,
18:44
Speaker 1: just as a normal human. Either's no, I'd be so
18:47
Speaker 1: jacked up it'd be insane. But I'm not as good thing.
18:50
Speaker 1: I don't play quarterback because Gino's calm pool collected. They
18:53
Speaker 1: didn't write back. You know who's saying, So it's gonna
18:56
Speaker 1: be it's gonna be fun, Bump. I mean it's gonna
18:58
Speaker 1: be something that they were watching for sure. Sometimes you'd
19:01
Speaker 1: be the Tyler Schmidt of quacks. Be ready to go
19:07
Speaker 1: banging your head against the man. Here's the thing, too, man,
19:10
Speaker 1: Not only did the Jets give up on Gino, they
19:12
Speaker 1: gave up on Pete two. So him and him and
19:14
Speaker 1: Peter like, look and let's go there and let's do
19:17
Speaker 1: this all right, another matchup we're looking at his zonov
19:20
Speaker 1: Knight and Michael Carter verse the Seahawks front seven. The
19:24
Speaker 1: Jets had a good thing going man I mentioned their
19:26
Speaker 1: draft class and Breeze Hall was a big part of that,
19:28
Speaker 1: the running back out on out of Iowa State, and
19:31
Speaker 1: he was having a great year. But then he tore
19:33
Speaker 1: his acl Man m sat to see. So then you
19:36
Speaker 1: got these other guys coming in, Michael Carter and Zonovan Night.
19:40
Speaker 1: And Night is an undrafted running back out of North
19:43
Speaker 1: Carolina State and was promoted to the active roster after
19:46
Speaker 1: the injury to Hall. Night so far this year's got
19:49
Speaker 1: sixty five carries, two fifty one in one touchdown. Michael
19:51
Speaker 1: Carter was a fourth rounder out of North Carolina. She
19:54
Speaker 1: got North Carolina state name, you got North Carolina. Both
19:56
Speaker 1: represent him. He's in the second season and he is
19:58
Speaker 1: a team leading rusher him of course, Breeze Hall so
20:02
Speaker 1: far this year has got one hundred and ten carries,
20:04
Speaker 1: three ninety six for yardage and three touchdown. The Jets
20:07
Speaker 1: are twenty fourth in the NFL. When it comes to
20:09
Speaker 1: Russian averaging one hundred and four yards per game, I
20:14
Speaker 1: don't expect these guys to be able to run the
20:17
Speaker 1: football at a high clip. But again I've had to
20:21
Speaker 1: eat my words before. Seahawks play well last week, only
20:25
Speaker 1: allowing with seventy seven yards on the ground, But you
20:27
Speaker 1: know the Jets are gonna come out and they are
20:29
Speaker 1: going to one to try to test these guys. The
20:33
Speaker 1: Hawks gave up one hundred and six and one yards
20:35
Speaker 1: to the Bucks, two eighty three to the Raiders, one
20:37
Speaker 1: seventy one to the Rams, two twenty three to the Panthers,
20:40
Speaker 1: one seventy to the Niners. That's an average of two
20:44
Speaker 1: hundred and one yards per game in five weeks. That's
20:48
Speaker 1: not what you want to see. But like I mentioned,
20:49
Speaker 1: seventy seven last week, So I'm just gonna ignore those
20:52
Speaker 1: other ones and say this is the team that we
20:54
Speaker 1: have today. Seventy seven yards versus achieves. That's what I'm
20:57
Speaker 1: rolling with, no question about it. Bump. You said, if
21:00
Speaker 1: those guys cannot hurt you, those guys cannot. If they
21:03
Speaker 1: can run the football, if they can possess the ball,
21:05
Speaker 1: that's going to be brutal. Given the defense that we're
21:08
Speaker 1: gonna get a little bit more into you on the
21:10
Speaker 1: jet side, but flip into another matchup, will take a
21:12
Speaker 1: stand on their offense for the moment. Garrett Wilson, Corey Davis,
21:15
Speaker 1: Lodge Moore of the guys in the roster versus Seattle
21:18
Speaker 1: secondary linebackers. So right now, you know, despite their inconsistent
21:23
Speaker 1: quarterback play, I'm actually pretty impressed with Garrett Wilson Man.
21:26
Speaker 1: You know, Garrett Sudden most of the damaged. That receiver
21:28
Speaker 1: leading the team and receiving rookie out of Ohio State,
21:30
Speaker 1: was a tenth overall pick, and he is not disappointed.
21:34
Speaker 1: Seventy one receptions, nine hundred and ninety six yards, four touchdowns.
21:38
Speaker 1: Then after him there's a big drop off in production.
21:40
Speaker 1: Corey Davis the team second leading receiver twenty receptions for
21:44
Speaker 1: seventy four two touchdowns. Then he had Elijah Moore is
21:47
Speaker 1: their third leading receiver. That tight end Tyler Conklin has
21:50
Speaker 1: also been used decently well fifty receptions, four fifty nine
21:53
Speaker 1: and three touchdowns. The Seahawks secondary played really well against
21:57
Speaker 1: Kansas City, you know, holding Patrick Mahomes to twenty four
22:00
Speaker 1: holding them twenty four points and trick Willing. In that game,
22:04
Speaker 1: he was in coverage on thirty three snaps and was
22:07
Speaker 1: only targeted twice, allowed one receptions for six yards. Had
22:10
Speaker 1: that one pass defended on a player where it looked
22:12
Speaker 1: like he was beat showed off that four two six
22:14
Speaker 1: speed ran down there, batted that thing down, and Willing
22:17
Speaker 1: is still tied for the league leading interception with six.
22:20
Speaker 1: This game could go a long way in deciding Rookie
22:23
Speaker 1: of the year, defensive rookie of the year against you know,
22:28
Speaker 1: going up against that cornerback on the other side. I'm
22:31
Speaker 1: not gonna say his name at the beginning of this,
22:33
Speaker 1: just to set it up because this man, ah Mad,
22:37
Speaker 1: I believe it's a government name. He said, Jets Nation.
22:40
Speaker 1: Just want to thank y'all for you the reason I
22:42
Speaker 1: passed whoever was leading in Pro Bowl votes at the
22:45
Speaker 1: cornerback position. Just want to say, I appreciate youall for
22:46
Speaker 1: being a best fan bas you could ask for supporting
22:48
Speaker 1: me and my teammates. That somebody whoever was leading that
22:53
Speaker 1: was Trique Willing Man. No disrespect might du like that.
22:56
Speaker 1: Don't do that. Don't do that. And here's the thing.
22:58
Speaker 1: He came out this week. He was on the or
23:00
Speaker 1: Jets podcast, and he said, Hey, you know, Seattle fans,
23:02
Speaker 1: you're gonna try to start something. Nothing's there, blah blah blah.
23:04
Speaker 1: Well you started it, man, You put that out there
23:06
Speaker 1: for no reason. You know who Terik is. I get it.
23:08
Speaker 1: You played in New York. You know what I'm saying.
23:10
Speaker 1: You were a top five pick out of Cincinnati. I
23:12
Speaker 1: get it. And I spoke to Kobe Bryant early in
23:15
Speaker 1: the locker room today. He's a big fan of a
23:18
Speaker 1: mad gardener. You know what I'm saying. You know, so
23:21
Speaker 1: seems like he's a good dude. Okay, But in the
23:23
Speaker 1: purpose of this right now, I'm not worried about that.
23:25
Speaker 1: I'm worried about my guy, Terreke more about him balling out.
23:28
Speaker 1: I hope Tree can get an interception because this will
23:30
Speaker 1: be a good game. You're not going up against each
23:32
Speaker 1: other on the field. This will be a good game.
23:34
Speaker 1: If Terike can get a pick or do something, you
23:37
Speaker 1: can continue to show his worth. And the story has
23:39
Speaker 1: been on because you know, Sauce is probably gonna end
23:42
Speaker 1: up winning the award in all honesty, but Karike Wolling
23:44
Speaker 1: has been right there all season long and deserves it.
23:47
Speaker 1: As much a sauce, you know, but so it'll be interesting.
23:50
Speaker 1: So bump, I want to see Terreke and Mike Jackson
23:53
Speaker 1: lock up Garrett Wilson and Corey Davis because that's a
23:56
Speaker 1: big matchup this week. And selfishly, I just want Tariq
23:58
Speaker 1: Wolling to get a bunch of picks and stuff. Who
24:00
Speaker 1: let everybody know he should be defensive rookie the year.
24:03
Speaker 1: Come on, man, if my guy can get one or
24:05
Speaker 1: two of them things, it'd be a real argument. I
24:08
Speaker 1: understand the leaning towards Sauce garden Man. He's a good
24:11
Speaker 1: football player, but he's wearing the wrong green this weekend.
24:14
Speaker 1: Let's hope to read as his theme another matchup. DK
24:17
Speaker 1: Medcalvin sounds like Tyler Lockett might be there. He walked
24:21
Speaker 1: through this is what I'm hearing. Pete says he wasn't limited.
24:25
Speaker 1: Looks okay, So we shall see versus Sauce Gardner and
24:28
Speaker 1: former Seahawk and dj Ree dk I had a solid
24:32
Speaker 1: week against the Chiefs. He had seven receptions for eighty
24:35
Speaker 1: one yards. He now set a single season career high
24:38
Speaker 1: when it comes to receptions with eighty six. His previous
24:40
Speaker 1: high was eighty three. Back in twenty twenty, and now
24:44
Speaker 1: he has his second thousand yard receiving season as well,
24:48
Speaker 1: so big ups to DK for that. He passed Joey
24:50
Speaker 1: Galloway for first place for the most receiving yards in
24:53
Speaker 1: the players first four seasons in franchise history. He's got
24:56
Speaker 1: four thousand, one hundred and seventy five and DK has
25:00
Speaker 1: ask John L. Wins for eighth place on Seattle's all
25:02
Speaker 1: time receiving list with that number on the year, like
25:05
Speaker 1: if mentioned eight six receptions, one thousand and five and
25:07
Speaker 1: six touchdowns. But the big storyline this week will be
25:11
Speaker 1: if DK will be joined by his teammate Tyler Lockett. Yeah,
25:14
Speaker 1: it's surgery last week reconnected his finger to his hand,
25:17
Speaker 1: is what it sounds like. This man was out there
25:20
Speaker 1: catching football is a practice, So we'll see how it goes.
25:23
Speaker 1: But we're gonna see a big matchup man number four
25:25
Speaker 1: overall pick sas Garner versus former. See how DJ Reid,
25:28
Speaker 1: who's having a good season two like Sauce gets a
25:31
Speaker 1: lot of the love, but DJ has had an excellent
25:34
Speaker 1: season so far this year. Sauce at sixty five tackles,
25:37
Speaker 1: two interceptions, six passes defended, He's played some good receivers.
25:41
Speaker 1: He's played Jamar, Chase Diggs, Deontay Johnson. I mean, the
25:48
Speaker 1: list goes on. Justin Jefferson. This guy has battle tested,
25:50
Speaker 1: he's ready to go. He's been voted to the Pro Bowl.
25:54
Speaker 1: He's allowed just one catch or fewer in half of
25:57
Speaker 1: his games this season. So this guy's legit like we're
25:59
Speaker 1: gonna poll on out of him at him just because
26:01
Speaker 1: he's on the other side. But this man can play football.
26:04
Speaker 1: No disrespect that this guy is ready to go. DJ
26:06
Speaker 1: read on the other hand, sending five tackles, the one intercession,
26:09
Speaker 1: twelve passes defending. Good for DJ Man. I really like
26:12
Speaker 1: this dude. We picked him up. He was he was
26:14
Speaker 1: injured when we picked him up from the forty nine
26:15
Speaker 1: ers brought him over. I believe he had a peck
26:17
Speaker 1: injury and had some good years for us MAN. In
26:20
Speaker 1: two years in Seattle, DJ started twenty two of twenty
26:23
Speaker 1: four games. He had one hundred and forty tackles, four interceptions,
26:25
Speaker 1: seventeen passes defended, and he's signed a three or thirty
26:29
Speaker 1: three million dollars contract with the Jets. So happy for
26:33
Speaker 1: DJ and all the success that he's having. I respect
26:36
Speaker 1: Sauce and everything that he's doing there, but when it
26:38
Speaker 1: comes down to it, all right with my guys, man,
26:41
Speaker 1: let's get it absolutely. I mean Sauce right, he leads
26:44
Speaker 1: the league and passes defended as a rookie. You mentioned
26:46
Speaker 1: all those names of guys he's played against. No one
26:48
Speaker 1: has gone off on him, similar to Tariqua one as well,
26:51
Speaker 1: guys into the point where he's getting some of that
26:53
Speaker 1: shream treatment. People weren't throwing the ball his way. Yeah,
26:56
Speaker 1: But what I will say though, he's never gone against
26:59
Speaker 1: a physical bast them like DK Metcalf. You've seen DK
27:03
Speaker 1: Metcalf in the run game, just watching him, Seahawk fans
27:05
Speaker 1: out there, if you're ever just watching a game and
27:07
Speaker 1: it's a run play, especially on that first possession, because
27:10
Speaker 1: number fourteen usually wants to set a message to the
27:13
Speaker 1: cornerback on the other side, and my man run blocks
27:16
Speaker 1: like a tight end. He is bullying corners. He's putting
27:19
Speaker 1: them on their back. Ask Marshawn a lot of more
27:21
Speaker 1: about that. You can ask Jalen Ramsey about it. DK
27:24
Speaker 1: is physical. I'm not sure Sauce has seen a guy
27:27
Speaker 1: with that kind of physicality. So it'll be interesting to see.
27:29
Speaker 1: I would love I would love for the first play
27:31
Speaker 1: to be a run bump. I wanted the first play
27:33
Speaker 1: to be run so DK can get out and just
27:35
Speaker 1: get after sauce and then let's go and see. Let's
27:38
Speaker 1: go and see. You know what I'm saying. DK goes
27:40
Speaker 1: up against four twenty six feed in practice every day.
27:42
Speaker 1: I'm really interested. I'd love to see, you know, DK
27:44
Speaker 1: beat him over the top for a touchdown, maybe a couple,
27:47
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. Let everybody know that, Hey,
27:50
Speaker 1: our guys the one luck people up. So it'll be
27:52
Speaker 1: a fun matchup either way. I'm really looking forward to
27:54
Speaker 1: watching all the cornerbacks in this matchup because all of
27:56
Speaker 1: them can play. All of them play at a high level.
27:59
Speaker 1: But it's playoff football. We've been talking about if the
28:02
Speaker 1: Seahawks need to win two games to get in get
28:04
Speaker 1: a little bit of help. But it starts what they
28:06
Speaker 1: can do and we'll tell you how they get there.
28:08
Speaker 1: With pat to victory. At the forty five, waits for
28:13
Speaker 1: the staff, Michael Vickson puts it down. That kick is away.
28:16
Speaker 1: If that kick is it's gun, it's a pass to victory.
28:23
Speaker 1: I'm hawk talk. Get things going early, bump, right off
28:26
Speaker 1: the jump. The Seahawks have played from behind in their
28:28
Speaker 1: last two games, and it's been brutal. Not only have
28:30
Speaker 1: they played from behind the first like four or five
28:32
Speaker 1: possessions in both ball games for all punts, they weren't
28:35
Speaker 1: doing much and it's hard to play good football when
28:38
Speaker 1: you're always from behind. I think they need to start fast.
28:41
Speaker 1: Gino needs to be the geno we've seen for the
28:43
Speaker 1: majority of this season. Be aggressive, but take care of
28:45
Speaker 1: the football. He talked about that a lot a couple
28:47
Speaker 1: of weeks ago. There's been a little bit too many
28:49
Speaker 1: turnovers as of late. The Sehawks need to take care
28:51
Speaker 1: of that thing and start fast, play from the lead
28:54
Speaker 1: so you can be dynamic defensively. So I just wanted
28:56
Speaker 1: to see him start fast and play with the lead
28:59
Speaker 1: to start the game. Bout yeah and run that rock.
29:02
Speaker 1: Ken Walker needs touches. He needs at least twenty of
29:05
Speaker 1: those things. And DK needs to have a moment. Let's
29:09
Speaker 1: have a moment against one of the best corners in
29:11
Speaker 1: the league. Man, show this guy how it's done. Make
29:13
Speaker 1: plays down the field, intermediate, quick game, all this stuff
29:17
Speaker 1: that DK does well. Remember when he entered the league,
29:20
Speaker 1: and no one thought he could do quick game moves,
29:21
Speaker 1: all just down the field stuff. This guy can do
29:23
Speaker 1: it all. So let's kill all that noils. You go
29:26
Speaker 1: after this young corner and then stop the run. The
29:29
Speaker 1: Jets have not been able to run the football officially
29:31
Speaker 1: since Breece Hall went down. Just make them be the
29:34
Speaker 1: guys who you think they are. Make Mike White beat you.
29:39
Speaker 1: If Mike White goes it out there and goes thirty
29:41
