0:04
Speaker 1: Michael Bumpus. Play fank go to roll right, jumps it
0:07
Speaker 1: off into the right flass to Michael Bumpers, who bounces
0:09
Speaker 1: off on one tackler gets inside the forty down of
0:12
Speaker 1: the thirty five yard line. Powered by Seahawks dot Com,
0:15
Speaker 1: Matt pump fakes looking at the goal line. He throws
0:17
Speaker 1: it into the end zone. Touchdown. Say Hawks, it's Michael
0:21
Speaker 1: Bumpus with a diving kitchen the end zone. Ten yard
0:24
Speaker 1: touchdown reception for Bumpus, and the kid out of Washington
0:28
Speaker 1: State has found himself a place on this team. Now
0:31
Speaker 1: here's your host, Nasa Chuby. Welcome into another edition of
0:36
Speaker 1: Hawk Talk. This week the Seahawks taking on the Rams
0:39
Speaker 1: with their playoff hopes at Steak. Michael Bumpus and myself
0:42
Speaker 1: will take you all the way through the Rams, the matchups,
0:45
Speaker 1: what's on tap, what to look for, and everything with
0:47
Speaker 1: that matchup. But before we get going here, we'd be
0:50
Speaker 1: remiss if we didn't send some love to the Buffalo
0:53
Speaker 1: Bills in safety Tomorrow Hamlin, who remains hospitalized in critical
0:56
Speaker 1: condition after a cardiac event against the Angles. Last Monday night.
1:01
Speaker 1: It was a scary scene. He needed CPR to get revived.
1:04
Speaker 1: It was unprecedented, at least in my view. I've never
1:07
Speaker 1: seen someone have to get revived on the football field.
1:10
Speaker 1: I've seen some injuries. I've seen people get carded off,
1:12
Speaker 1: I've seen people get airlifted off, but something like that
1:15
Speaker 1: was it was a scary scene, bump and it was
1:16
Speaker 1: hard to watch. Yeah, we've we've never seen anything like that.
1:20
Speaker 1: And because we've never seen anything like that, then it
1:24
Speaker 1: is appropriate to get all these different type of reactions right.
1:27
Speaker 1: Everyone has their opinions on how the situation could have
1:30
Speaker 1: been handled. But end of the day, the thing that's
1:32
Speaker 1: most important is that, you know, we pray for tomorrow
1:35
Speaker 1: and hope that he pulls through and as healthy as possible,
1:39
Speaker 1: and that his family is okay, because you know, they're
1:42
Speaker 1: the ones who are really going through this deal. Yeah, man,
1:45
Speaker 1: really hard to watch, and you know, we're fortunate, or
1:49
Speaker 1: you know, every NFL team is fortunate. The medical staffs
1:52
Speaker 1: that are in place here at the Seahawks, just like
1:54
Speaker 1: every other team in the NFL. Everyone practices this kind
1:56
Speaker 1: of stuff. The medical team, the doctors, the positions they
2:00
Speaker 1: go through in the preseason and they go through it
2:03
Speaker 1: out the stadium. What would happen on a game day
2:04
Speaker 1: if something like this world occur. So there there's no
2:07
Speaker 1: more prepared people and no place where Obviously you don't
2:11
Speaker 1: want an event like this to ever happen, but if
2:12
Speaker 1: it did, that's the place you'd want to be with
2:14
Speaker 1: all the medical professions out there. So somber note, but
2:17
Speaker 1: just want to show shout, you know, some love to
2:19
Speaker 1: DeMar because that's what's important right now. Football is not
2:22
Speaker 1: important for them. You know, you heard Pete Carroll talk
2:24
Speaker 1: about it today, a lot of other coaches throughout the
2:26
Speaker 1: league talking about it. So we want to send our
2:28
Speaker 1: prayers and our thoughts to Buffalo safety Damar Hamlin as
2:31
Speaker 1: they navigate this time, and hopefully, you know, he'll continue
2:34
Speaker 1: to get good news and be back, you know, with
2:36
Speaker 1: his family healthy and with everyone else very soon. So
2:40
Speaker 1: with that, we're gonna switch back over to the Seahawks
2:42
Speaker 1: taking on the Rams. What's on tap? What's on tap?
2:50
Speaker 1: These Rams bump five and eleven last place in the
2:53
Speaker 1: NFC West. They've lost a ton of games or five
2:56
Speaker 1: and eleven, Like I said, that's the most losses by
2:58
Speaker 1: defending champion nf fell history. So definitely a rough year
3:02
Speaker 1: for the Rams, but you know, I will say this,
3:05
Speaker 1: they've been playing better in recent weeks, thrilling overtime and winning.
3:08
Speaker 1: It's the Raiders a couple of weeks ago, and then
3:10
Speaker 1: they beat down Russell Wilson and the Broncos fifty one
3:12
Speaker 1: to fourteen. They're two and two in their last four
3:15
Speaker 1: games after losing six in a row and eight of
3:17
Speaker 1: their last nine before that. So it's been a rough
3:20
Speaker 1: year for the Rams. Bump, but it's the Rams, and
3:23
Speaker 1: you can't take them lightly. I mean the last time
3:25
Speaker 1: the Seahawks did go down there and beat the Rams
3:27
Speaker 1: in Week thirteen and took a Geno Smith last second
3:30
Speaker 1: drive to get it done. So definitely can't take the
3:32
Speaker 1: Rams lightly here. The Rams always want to play spoiler
3:34
Speaker 1: and you got some emotion behind this one. Bobby Wagner
3:37
Speaker 1: is going to make his first return here to louman Field,
3:41
Speaker 1: and he doesn't hate the Hawks, but he definitely wants
3:44
Speaker 1: to beat him. He wants to beat everybody. There's a
3:46
Speaker 1: little ext or something on here, and the last time
3:48
Speaker 1: we saw Bobby Wagner, he had the game of his life.
3:51
Speaker 1: He's had some career numbers. He's leading or sorry, he
3:54
Speaker 1: has the most sacks he's ever had in his career
3:56
Speaker 1: this year, what I think, around six or seven. He's
3:58
Speaker 1: playing some good football. He got his money over there
4:01
Speaker 1: in La. I'm sure he wants to come back to
4:03
Speaker 1: Seattle and show the Seahawks why they should have kept
4:06
Speaker 1: him around. So with all the drama surrounding this, it's
4:09
Speaker 1: the Las Rams. Play the Hawks good and they got
4:12
Speaker 1: our guy over there. It should be a good one. Yeah.
4:14
Speaker 1: You know again, you look at this on paper and
4:16
Speaker 1: you'd think the Seahawks should be favored in a game.
4:18
Speaker 1: I think they should win, but you can't take these
4:20
Speaker 1: guys lightly. The last times Rams run the football field
4:22
Speaker 1: was this past Sunday, losing to the Chargers thirty one
4:26
Speaker 1: to ten. The Rams did their best to compete early on.
4:29
Speaker 1: They had a seven play, seventy five yard drive with
4:31
Speaker 1: a twenty three yard touchdown by Michael Malcolm Brown that
4:34
Speaker 1: made the score fourteen ten with four or nine in
4:36
Speaker 1: the second quarter, But from that point on it was
4:38
Speaker 1: all Chargers, seventeen unanswered points and route to victory. Austin
4:42
Speaker 1: Eckler had one hundred and twenty two yards rushing, scored
4:45
Speaker 1: two touchdowns, and became the fifth running back with one
4:48
Speaker 1: hundred receptions in a season. He's balling out NFL leading
4:51
Speaker 1: eighteen touchdown thirteen rushing, five receiving, also had a career
4:55
Speaker 1: best seventy two yard run. Mike Williams says, this holiday
4:59
Speaker 1: and then for the Rams, Baker Mayfield couldn't get much
5:01
Speaker 1: going offensively. He was eleven for nineteen, one hundred and
5:04
Speaker 1: thirty two yards, no touchdowns, no interceptions. Loom bright spot
5:08
Speaker 1: was cam Akers rush for one hundred and twenty three
5:10
Speaker 1: yards or nineteen carries in his second straight one hundred
5:13
Speaker 1: yard game. So bump, when you look at the head
5:16
Speaker 1: to had obviously this you know tilts toward the Seahawks.
5:19
Speaker 1: But what stands out to you, Yeah, we're gonna face
5:22
Speaker 1: one of the worst offenses in the league and Baker
5:25
Speaker 1: Mayfield is going to be the guy over there. We
5:27
Speaker 1: know the struggles that these Rams have had this year
5:30
Speaker 1: with injuries to guys like Cooper cub You got anchors
5:33
Speaker 1: back there running the ball there. Twenty ninth putting points
5:36
Speaker 1: to the board. The twenty seven nothing special, excuse me
5:38
Speaker 1: past the twenty seven putting points to the board, their
5:41
Speaker 1: twenty six. Nothing special about this offense. And then you
5:44
Speaker 1: flip over to the defense. Look at the numbers. They're
5:46
Speaker 1: about the middle of the pack when it comes to everything,
5:48
Speaker 1: seventeenth ranked overall. But they got some guys over there.
5:51
Speaker 1: I mean, there are some names that we know on
5:53
Speaker 1: this defense, and we know that they find themselves playing
5:57
Speaker 1: some really good football against the Seattle Seahawks. So you
6:01
Speaker 1: look at this team on paper, your seventeenth overall defense,
6:04
Speaker 1: thirty first overall offense. But you throw that stuff away
6:07
Speaker 1: at the end of the season. They don't have anything
6:09
Speaker 1: to play for but to kind of spoil what the
6:11
Speaker 1: Seahawks have going on, and I'm sure they would not
6:13
Speaker 1: mind doing that at all. Offensively, Hawks are fifteen. Defensively
6:17
Speaker 1: there are twenty seven. If there's something that the Hawks
6:19
Speaker 1: do well on offense, it is putting points on the
6:22
Speaker 1: board everye else the middle of the board. Defensively, the
6:25
Speaker 1: best thing that they do is their past defense. We
6:28
Speaker 1: saw a bit of that last week with three will
6:30
Speaker 1: And having a pass breakup and Mike Jackson getting his
6:32
Speaker 1: first NFL interception. Yeah, I like what the defense is doing,
6:36
Speaker 1: and the stats don't really bear what they've done the
6:37
Speaker 1: last couple of weeks, holding the number one offense in
6:40
Speaker 1: Kansas City down to their worst output of the season,
6:43
Speaker 1: shutting down a Jets team, and yeah, their offense struggle,
6:46
Speaker 1: but that's what you're supposed to do, and the Seahaws
6:48
Speaker 1: accomplished that last week, holding them out of the end zone.
6:50
Speaker 1: So hopefully the Seahawks and on paper had the head.
6:52
Speaker 1: It looks good for them, but as we know, the
6:54
Speaker 1: Rams cause a lot of problems. And it's the NFL.
6:57
Speaker 1: Everyone gets paid any given Sunday. But of course these
7:00
Speaker 1: teams have tons and tons of history. Let's know it,
7:03
Speaker 1: no your history. Seahawks lead all time series twenty six
7:08
Speaker 1: to twenty two. In the regular season, the Ramps or
7:10
Speaker 1: two and oh. In the postseason. Last meeting, the Seahawks
7:13
Speaker 1: went down to La snapped a three game losing streak,
7:15
Speaker 1: beating the Rams twenty seven to twenty three. This is
7:18
Speaker 1: the game bump where Gino finally got to check that box.
7:21
Speaker 1: Fourth quarter game winning drive. Trailing twenty three to twenty
7:25
Speaker 1: with two fifty six remaining in the game, Smith let
7:27
Speaker 1: the Seahawks on a ten play, seventy five yard drive
7:30
Speaker 1: that ended with a DK Metcalf touchdown over and none
7:33
Speaker 1: other than Jalen Ramsey. Just want to throw that in there.
7:37
Speaker 1: Gino probably played the best game of the year, going
7:39
Speaker 1: twenty eight of thirty nine three to sixty seven, three touchdowns,
7:42
Speaker 1: one interception. DK and Tyler both went over one hundred
7:45
Speaker 1: yards in a touchdown TOIQ. Seven tackles, three pass defended,
7:49
Speaker 1: one interception. So definitely hoping for a repeat performance here
7:53
Speaker 1: in Seattle. Bump and man, I think when you look
7:59
Speaker 1: at this matchup, you look at these guys every time,
8:01
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a nail biter. I'm hoping this is
8:04
Speaker 1: the week though, and it's not bumped because on paper,
8:05
Speaker 1: I don't want to say, but I feel like the
8:06
Speaker 1: Sea Auction win by ten plus my crazy What do
8:09
Speaker 1: you think? Nah, you ain't crazy. Numbers give perspective, but
8:13
Speaker 1: then the game tells you the truth. We can go
8:15
Speaker 1: into this game looking at these numbers and say, well,
8:18
Speaker 1: this is who they've been all year. But I tend
8:21
Speaker 1: to look at the last few games, and if you
8:23
Speaker 1: look at as a few games, the Rams haven't playing better,
8:26
Speaker 1: but so have the Seahawks. So no, I think you're
8:28
Speaker 1: crazy with that that ten point when I'm feeling that
8:31
Speaker 1: that that will be a lot more stress free than
8:34
Speaker 1: a last minute driver last time they hooked. Yeah, no question,
8:37
Speaker 1: because you know, to quote the great Marquise Goodwin, you know,
8:40
Speaker 1: numbers are like bikinis. They show you a lot, but
8:43
Speaker 1: not everything. All right, let's let's put it back over
8:47
Speaker 1: and figure out what's going on in the NFCUS. What's
8:49
Speaker 1: the word? I have the Seahawks for the NFC West Champs? Again,
8:58
Speaker 1: what's the word? In the wet on hot talkers? Are
9:04
Speaker 1: the NFC West Champions? They've had that's about locked up
9:07
Speaker 1: for a few weeks. Then I'm talking behind them in
9:09
Speaker 1: at eight and eight. The Rams are five and eleven
9:11
Speaker 1: and the Cardinals are four in twelve. Now, the Niners
9:15
Speaker 1: played the Raiders last week and it was a good game. Man.
9:19
Speaker 1: The Niners one nine in a row, and I went
9:23
Speaker 1: to this game thinking it's still a toss up just
9:25
Speaker 1: because of the matchup. You know, the Raiders have nothing
9:28
Speaker 1: to lose. The Niners are playing for seating. When you
9:30
Speaker 1: have these type of matchups, anything can happen, and that's
9:32
Speaker 1: kind of what we saw. Man. Jared Stellam replaced Derek
9:35
Speaker 1: Carr for the starter for the He's the starter for
9:37
Speaker 1: the last two games, and he had a decent day
9:39
Speaker 1: twenty three of thirty four, three sixty five and three touchdowns,
9:42
Speaker 1: but he did throw two interceptions, one and overtime sin
9:45
Speaker 1: say Sean Gibson he returned to fifty six yards and
9:47
Speaker 1: that set up the game winning field goal. But the
9:50
Speaker 1: Raiders were up by ten in the third quarter, and
9:53
Speaker 1: they're the first team in NFL history to lose five
9:55
Speaker 1: games in a season which they led by ten points
9:57
Speaker 1: some more in the second half of that has to
10:01
Speaker 1: be tough. Man on top of Sunday has lost to
10:03
Speaker 1: the forty nine as the Reds Blue. A double digit
10:05
Speaker 1: second half leads to the Cardinals, the Chiefs, the Jags,
10:09
Speaker 1: and the Rams needed to say, these guys can't hold
10:12
Speaker 1: on to nothing man the Ram. The forty nine Ers
10:16
Speaker 1: had the number one defense in the league, so you
10:18
Speaker 1: know they're gonna be a tough match up every single week.
10:20
Speaker 1: But somehow the Riders put up thirty four points and
10:23
Speaker 1: that was the most points allowed by this defense since
10:25
Speaker 1: they played the Kansas City Chiefs at Davonte Allam. She
10:29
Speaker 1: had Stidhams. Those guys played good. Davante had seven receptions
10:32
Speaker 1: for one fifty three and two touchdowns. He's playing on
10:35
Speaker 1: a bad team, but he's having an awesome year. I mean,
10:37
Speaker 1: this guy, you put him anywhere, he's gonna ball out.
10:40
Speaker 1: And Rock Purdy I see him as a starter now.
10:42
Speaker 1: I keep saying he's a backup to the battle, but
10:44
Speaker 1: he's played so many games now I's like, all right,
10:45
Speaker 1: he's the guy. And he continued to play some good football.
10:48
Speaker 1: He was twenty two to thirty five, twenty four, two touchdowns,
10:51
Speaker 1: one interception, and then McCaffrey did what he does one
10:54
Speaker 1: ninety three hold them one twenty one rush and seventy
10:58
Speaker 1: two receive him in one touchdown. And then Brandon Iuk
11:01
Speaker 1: has had one of the biggest turnarounds in the league
11:03
Speaker 1: to me when it comes to performance, he's been taking over,
11:05
Speaker 1: especially since Debo has been out. He's had He had
11:08
Speaker 1: receptions for one on one and one touchdown. What scares
11:12
Speaker 1: me about this game is that this is a type
11:14
Speaker 1: of game the Niners needed before the playoffs. You know,
11:16
Speaker 1: saying you gotta get tested right before you jump in
11:18
Speaker 1: that thing. That's what the Raiders did. But overall, entertaining
11:22
Speaker 1: game not what Shanahan would want, that's for sure, but
11:24
Speaker 1: it helps his team in the long run. Yeah, that
11:26
Speaker 1: was definitely a game where I'm like, how in the
11:30
Speaker 1: world they put up thirty four against that defense? He
11:32
Speaker 1: you scratch your head, But it's the NFL. Everyone gets
11:35
Speaker 1: paid obviously. The other matchup, We're not gonna spend a
11:37
Speaker 1: lot of time on Cardinals Falcons. Cardinals lost again. They
11:41
Speaker 1: lost to Falcons twenty in nineteen six loss in a row,
11:43
Speaker 1: eight of the last nine. A guy named David Blow
11:46
Speaker 1: started the game for Arizona Bump. I never heard of him,
11:49
Speaker 1: how to look him up. He's been in the league
11:51
Speaker 1: a couple of years. So that's where they're seasons after
11:54
Speaker 1: seasons over they're sitting guys that last week it's it's
11:57
Speaker 1: rough over there and azy not mad at it. But
12:01
Speaker 1: the NFC playoffs, it's it's simple right now. That's that's
12:04
Speaker 1: what really really focus on right now. For the Hawks
12:06
Speaker 1: beat the Rams, Lions beat the Packers at Lambeau. It's
12:10
Speaker 1: a real bummer and honestly a travesty that the Rams,
12:13
Speaker 1: the Seahawks lines Packers are not playing at the same time.
12:16
Speaker 1: I don't want to get too far into that because
12:18
Speaker 1: I don't want to get in trouble Bump, But I
12:21
Speaker 1: don't see how those games aren't playing at the exact
12:23
Speaker 1: same time. It gives a definitely competitive advantage to the Packers,
12:26
Speaker 1: but they're playing at Sunday night. Seahawks to playing in
12:29
Speaker 1: one twenty five, and you know, if the Seahawks win,
12:32
Speaker 1: the Lions will be eliminated for the playoffs and have
12:35
Speaker 1: nothing to play for when that game kicks off. But
12:36
Speaker 1: I was very encouraged her Dan Campbell talking today. There
12:40
Speaker 1: they coaster guys. They're playing these big games and win loser.
12:44
Speaker 1: They don't care about the playoffs. They're gonna go in
12:45
Speaker 1: there and win. They want to be nine and eight.
12:47
Speaker 1: They want to up sit Aaron Rodgers. So I'm here
12:49
Speaker 1: for a bump. It's a lot kind of going on.
12:52
Speaker 1: Because the crazy thing is Bump is all these seeds
12:54
Speaker 1: are still up for grabs. So if the Seahawks are
12:56
Speaker 1: lucky enough to get into the playoffs, most likely they're
12:59
Speaker 1: gonna go to San Francisco, could go to Minnesota, could
13:01
Speaker 1: go to Philly. But yeah, a lot of different stuff
13:04
Speaker 1: stuff for grabs in the NFC. Yeah, it's still up there,
13:07
Speaker 1: and and I love it. This part of the year
13:11
Speaker 1: when seeds still up for grabs. Let means you're gonna
13:13
Speaker 1: get some good performances. Guys aren't going to sit unless
13:16
Speaker 1: coaches are just happy with where they're at. But no,
13:19
Speaker 1: I love this time of year. Man, It's it's playoff
13:22
Speaker 1: football time of year, and luckily for the Hawks, we
13:24
Speaker 1: get a little playoff warm up here with the challenge
13:27
Speaker 1: this week and hope to takeet some help from the loss,
13:30
Speaker 1: no question about it. Praying the football gods please Detroit
13:33
Speaker 1: come out there, Seahawks win. I wanted to be at
13:37
Speaker 1: home waiting thinking about, Okay, where we're going, and we
13:39
Speaker 1: trying to book some flights Dan fran we're going to
13:41
Speaker 1: Minnesota where we're going. So we're definitely involved in that
13:44
Speaker 1: and praying for those guys. But let's get back into
13:46
Speaker 1: these rams with these matchups. Man up? Is this this
13:56
Speaker 1: man up on Hawk Talk starting the quarter back like
14:00
Speaker 1: we normally do. Baker Mayfield taken on his Seahawks defense,
14:03
Speaker 1: and Baker's had quite a year. Bump started at Carolina
14:06
Speaker 1: where he was in a battle Sam Darnold for the job.
14:08
Speaker 1: He got the job. He's going up in the week
14:11
Speaker 1: win against his former team, in Cleveland. They lose on
14:13
Speaker 1: the last second field goal, and boy, it was all
14:15
Speaker 1: downhill from there. And his five starts with the Panthers,
14:18
Speaker 1: he never threw for more than two hundred and thirty
14:20
Speaker 1: five yards, never threw more than one touchdown, never completed
14:23
Speaker 1: more than sixty two percent of his passes in any
14:25
Speaker 1: of those games. Ended his time with Carolina at thirteen
14:28
Speaker 1: hundred yards plus passing, six touchdowns, six picks, sacked at
14:32
Speaker 1: nineteen times, he got hurt, was on the bench. They
14:35
Speaker 1: decided to move on. Then he got picked up by
14:37
Speaker 1: the Rams a week fourteen, at two days of practice,
14:40
Speaker 1: is thrown in on Thursday night, football leads them on
14:42
Speaker 1: a game winning drive to beat the Raiders. And you know,
14:46
Speaker 1: he's played decent football in ne Sean McVeigh two and
14:48
Speaker 1: two records, including a huge blot win over the Broncos,
14:51
Speaker 1: and Baker's done a lot better at least taking care
14:54
Speaker 1: of the football. He's got seven hundred three passing yards,
14:56
Speaker 1: four touchdowns, and went interception sack twelve times. The Rams
15:00
Speaker 1: you mentioned earlier, worst off one of the worst offenses
15:02
Speaker 1: in the NFL, thirty first, twenty seventh in passing sehawks
15:07
Speaker 1: for twenty seven total defense and seventeen begins to pass,
15:09
Speaker 1: So it'll be interesting. Man, Baker's playing better football, but
15:11
Speaker 1: I think the Seahawks can get after him. It's kind
15:13
Speaker 1: of fitting into the season because there's so much talk
15:15
Speaker 1: about Baker quarterbacking this football team, and I'm happy the
15:19
Speaker 1: Heehawks kept their face in. Gino Smith. Yeah, I don't
15:23
Speaker 1: like Hawks playing backups late in the season. Last year,
15:26
Speaker 1: I was with bidness in the butt a little bit.
15:29
Speaker 1: But you know what, it's a new year, it's a
15:31
Speaker 1: new defense. Get after Baker Mayfield. Let's talk about our quarterback,
15:35
Speaker 1: man Gino bounce back against the Raiders. Man. After two
15:37
Speaker 1: tough games against the forty nine ers in the Chiefs,
15:39
Speaker 1: he was eighteen to twenty nine, one eighty three, two
15:41
Speaker 1: touchdowns and a QB rating of one oh three point one.
15:45
Speaker 1: He's one touchdown away from joining two of the greats
15:49
Speaker 1: here in Cilla. Dave Craig and Russell Wilson asked quarterbacks
15:53
Speaker 1: to have thirty touchdowns in the season, which is crazy.
15:56
Speaker 1: No expectations for Gino coming into the season. Now he's
15:59
Speaker 1: on the verge of breaking records. In hard records, you
16:02
Speaker 1: don't just toss thirty touchdowns in the season. Man, it's
16:05
Speaker 1: awesome to see, and he can have the record for
16:08
Speaker 1: the highest completion rape for a Seattle quarterback. He's leading
16:11
Speaker 1: the NFL completing seventy percent of his passes. He's seventh
16:15
Speaker 1: in the league when it comes to tousing that ball
16:18
Speaker 1: around the yard four thousand and sixty nine yards. He's
16:21
Speaker 1: fourth with total touchdowns twenty nine, fifth and pass rating
16:24
Speaker 1: in six in q b R. I remember that that
16:28
Speaker 1: seventy percent was a number that pet Care always wanted
16:31
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson to hit. Right, He's I would love for
16:34
Speaker 1: Russell to complete seventy percent of his passes. It's crazy
16:38
Speaker 1: that Gineo is on the verge of breaking the franchise
16:41
Speaker 1: record for yards, which was held by Russell Wilson, and
16:45
Speaker 1: then completing seventy percent of his passes, which Russell Wilson
16:49
Speaker 1: never did. Man, he also has twenty nine touchdowns this year.
16:53
Speaker 1: He's had twenty eight touchdowns in four years with the Jets.
16:56
Speaker 1: This has to be one of the candidates for Comeback
16:59
Speaker 1: Player of Year. He's the Pro Bowler. He deserved all
17:02
Speaker 1: that stuff. He's going up against the number seventeen defense
17:05
Speaker 1: in the league. So something tells me he needs with
17:07
Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty one yards to have that Franchise
17:10
Speaker 1: Braggord for most past passing yards in franchise history. He
17:14
Speaker 1: should get it right. Numbers say that he should get it,
17:18
Speaker 1: but we shall see him. Oh yeah, I don't. I mean,
17:20
Speaker 1: it'd be criminal if Geno's not comeback Player of the
17:23
Speaker 1: Year after what he's done and where the expectations were
17:25
Speaker 1: for him this season. I mean, you mentioned all the
17:27
Speaker 1: numbers he's balled out. He threw for over three to
17:29
Speaker 1: sixty against him last time, so I agree with you.
17:31
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna get that done. Now. The other match,
17:34
Speaker 1: I want to look at cam Makers taking on the
17:36
Speaker 1: Seahawks front seven. Cam's had a crazy year. We documented
17:39
Speaker 1: it the first time we played them, almost trade there
17:42
Speaker 1: only the year, inactive for two games because of differences
17:44
Speaker 1: with the coach. And now he's come on strong last
17:46
Speaker 1: couple of weeks. He's reigned for one hundred and twenty
17:48
Speaker 1: three yards or nineteen carriages just passed Sunday, giving him
17:51
Speaker 1: back to back one hundred yard games for the first
17:53
Speaker 1: time in his career. He also had a forty two
17:55
Speaker 1: yard run in the first quarter, which was the rams
17:57
Speaker 1: longest run of the season. I feel like Ken already
18:00
Speaker 1: has sixty four sixty plus yard runs. That just kind
18:03
Speaker 1: of shows you how explosed of their offense has been
18:05
Speaker 1: this year. And prior to the last two weeks, Acres
18:08
Speaker 1: only had fifteen or more carries in two games, so
18:10
Speaker 1: they're really letting him run that rock. On the season,
18:13
Speaker 1: hundred sixty seven carries, six hundred and eighty two yards,
18:16
Speaker 1: seven touchdowns. Despite that, the Rams were twenty ninth in
18:19
Speaker 1: the NFL at rushing with ninety four per yards per game.
18:23
Speaker 1: On the Seahawks side, we's well documented they couldn't stop
18:26
Speaker 1: the run for a solid five weeks or given about
18:28
Speaker 1: two hundred yards on the ground. Last two weeks they
18:30
Speaker 1: gave up seventy seven yards to the Chiefs seventy five
18:33
Speaker 1: yards to the Jets. It was a fifth time this
18:35
Speaker 1: year the Seahawks held an opponent under one hundred yards,
18:37
Speaker 1: so they've clearly figured something out in the run game.
18:40
Speaker 1: Not enough to undo the damage done earlier in the year,
18:43
Speaker 1: so they're still thirtieth against the run, but I feel
18:46
Speaker 1: good about this matchup for the Seahawks. The Rams are
18:48
Speaker 1: running the ball the one thing I hope is, you know, defensively,
18:52
Speaker 1: the Seahawks are a little bit more ready for their
18:53
Speaker 1: rushing attack. Sean McVeigh was very creative and the way
18:56
Speaker 1: they attacked the Seahawks in that first game because they
18:58
Speaker 1: were still able to run the ball first game, at
19:00
Speaker 1: least early on. So, you know, I think the Seahawks
19:03
Speaker 1: have figured some stuff out. Guys are playing well, so
19:04
Speaker 1: hopefully the Seahawks can, you know, figure out how to
19:07
Speaker 1: replace Jordan Brooks and getting him stopped. The thing that
19:11
Speaker 1: encourages me about Jordan Brooks now being out as I
19:13
Speaker 1: watched a film and Tearner music not play bad, but
19:15
Speaker 1: he played. He played okay man, So we'll see what
19:18
Speaker 1: happens there. But let's look at another matchup, Leonard Floyd
19:21
Speaker 1: versus Seahawks offensive line. The Rams have been struggling this year.
19:24
Speaker 1: A lot of it is because of Aaron Donald and
19:26
Speaker 1: he hasn't played most of the season. The last time
19:28
Speaker 1: these guys met, the Rams were with the tenth ranked
19:30
Speaker 1: offense in the league. But things have changed a little bit.
19:33
Speaker 1: But something that hasn't changed is that Lena Floyd is
19:36
Speaker 1: still a baller man. Fifty three tackles excuse me. Fifty
19:39
Speaker 1: three tackles, a SAX nine TFLs is a sax least
19:42
Speaker 1: the team, and he's two and a half away from
19:45
Speaker 1: a career high. In six games against Seattle, Leonard Floyd
19:50
Speaker 1: has been tearing it up against the Hawks. He has
19:52
Speaker 1: twenty three tackles, six sacks, six TFLs, nine quarterback hits.
19:56
Speaker 1: He was held and checked the first time around, only
19:59
Speaker 1: registering the tackling a QB him. But we all know,
20:02
Speaker 1: like Leonard Floyd got paid because of what he did
20:04
Speaker 1: against the Seahawks over the past year. So there's something
20:08
Speaker 1: about that jersey that gets him going. You gotta contain
20:10
Speaker 1: this guy, yeah, man, Leonardford's scary. You asked Russell Wilson
20:14
Speaker 1: about that. He just gave this team fits over the years.
20:17
Speaker 1: So great job by the offensive behind that first game.
20:19
Speaker 1: So when they can repeat that performance coming up, then
20:22
Speaker 1: on our side, look at our running back ken Walker
20:25
Speaker 1: taking on this Rams front seven and a special guy
20:27
Speaker 1: number fifty four for us. He's now forty five, Bobby Wagner.
20:31
Speaker 1: Ken Walker's also coming off back to back hunter yard
20:34
Speaker 1: rushing games for the first time in his young career
20:36
Speaker 1: one hundred and thirty three yards last week against New
20:38
Speaker 1: York in a hundred and seven against the Kansas City Chiefs,
20:41
Speaker 1: and Walker's just had a lot of opportunities man the
20:43
Speaker 1: last two weeks, carrying the ball twenty six times in
20:45
Speaker 1: twenty three it's only second time all season. Then he's
20:48
Speaker 1: had consecutive games with twenty or more carries, So they're
20:50
Speaker 1: definitely giving him that rock. You know, sixty four yards
20:54
Speaker 1: away from a thousand, nine thirty six nine touchdowns on
20:58
Speaker 1: the season, So he's balling out a bump on the
21:00
Speaker 1: other side. Bobby Wagner, you mentioned it earlier, had one
21:04
Speaker 1: of the best games of his career, you know, against
21:06
Speaker 1: the Seahawks. In that first game, you know, he had
21:08
Speaker 1: seven tackles, two sacks, a pick on the season. You
21:12
Speaker 1: look at the numbers, he's having one of his best
21:13
Speaker 1: years statistically. I'm not saying he's better now than he
21:16
Speaker 1: was then, but one hundred and thirty three tackles, six sacks,
21:19
Speaker 1: two yants, five passes defended, nine TfL. So Bobby's playing well. Man.
21:23
Speaker 1: You mentioned it earlier, his six sacks or career high,
21:26
Speaker 1: So there's gonna be a lot of emotion. And but
21:29
Speaker 1: when he comes out of the tunnel. There's gonna get
21:31
Speaker 1: a standing ovation. When he walks out for the coin toss,
21:34
Speaker 1: there's fans are gonna show him some love, and then
21:35
Speaker 1: once that game kicks off there be rooting for the
21:37
Speaker 1: team in blue. But I expect him to get a
21:40
Speaker 1: huge ovation and it's gonna it means a lot to him.
21:42
Speaker 1: You said it, it means a lot to him. I'm
21:43
Speaker 1: really looking forward to see how animated he's gonna be
21:46
Speaker 1: on the sideline. Yeah, his legacy was built here and
21:49
Speaker 1: people understand that, and it didn't end the way that
21:52
Speaker 1: both sides wanted it to end. But I don't think
21:55
Speaker 1: there's too much love laws, especially when he's coming back home.
21:58
Speaker 1: He wants to try to play upset. Once the ballocks
22:02
Speaker 1: kig Bobby, I no longer have leve for for about
22:04
Speaker 1: an hour and then we're good to go. All right.
22:07
Speaker 1: Next matchup, we got DK versus Jalen. Whenever these two
22:10
Speaker 1: link up, man sit down, get comfortable, is going to
22:14
Speaker 1: be a battle. The last time they linked up, DK
22:16
Speaker 1: won that battle had exceptions for one twenty seven and
22:19
Speaker 1: caught the game winner on Jalen Ramsey. Nice little slant
22:22
Speaker 1: in the end zone on the year DK is having
22:25
Speaker 1: another solid season eighty seven receptions, one thousand yards and
22:28
Speaker 1: six touchdowns. Now, these guys have met a few times.
22:31
Speaker 1: The last six times they met, these are the numbers
22:35
Speaker 1: we got. DK has had seventy eight yards, twenty eight yards,
22:38
Speaker 1: fifty nine yards, ninety six yards and two touchdowns, ninety
22:42
Speaker 1: eight yards and two touchdowns fifty two yards and most recently,
22:45
Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty seven yards one touchdown on eight targets. Now,
22:49
Speaker 1: let's talk about Jalen Ramsey, one of the best corners
22:51
Speaker 1: in the game, having a decent season. Eighty three tackles,
22:54
Speaker 1: two interceptions, five passes defended, three force fumbles, four TFLs
23:00
Speaker 1: in two sex the last six games against Seattle in
23:03
Speaker 1: DK metcast, he's had four tackles, two one one pass offended.
23:07
Speaker 1: Another game where three tackles, one pass offended. Another game
23:09
Speaker 1: four tackles, one pass offended, five tackles, two passes defend him,
23:13
Speaker 1: and six tackles the last time they linked up on
23:15
Speaker 1: the fourth no passive defended. DK is being the better
23:19
Speaker 1: of Jalen Ramsey as of LABE, but we know how
23:22
Speaker 1: this goes. He can still impact the game even if
23:25
Speaker 1: he's night getting interceptions and passes defended. He's just that
23:28
Speaker 1: good of a player. But I like the matchup, especially
23:30
Speaker 1: with where DK is in his development as a pro
23:33
Speaker 1: right now. Yeah, and you know they're gonna be talking, man,
23:36
Speaker 1: you know they're gonna be talking. And and DK's coming
23:38
Speaker 1: off a game where he had one reception for three
23:41
Speaker 1: yards and his worst statistical game of the season. I
23:44
Speaker 1: believe he had another game early in his rookie season
23:47
Speaker 1: where he had one catch for six yards. But so
23:50
Speaker 1: DK is gonna be ready to go. That's that's for
23:52
Speaker 1: dang sure. And it's really tough too, because, yes, Sauce
23:55
Speaker 1: is a great player and he played well last week,
23:57
Speaker 1: but it wasn't like they run up against each other
23:59
Speaker 1: fifth times and he locked him up every single time.
24:02
Speaker 1: I think DK would probably tell you, Bump, he probably
24:04
Speaker 1: should have caught that fadeball on the sideline. I believe
24:07
Speaker 1: that was in his hands. It was a tough catch,
24:09
Speaker 1: but I feel like he would tell you he should
24:10
Speaker 1: make that play. And then another time a couple of
24:13
Speaker 1: balls are uncatchable. So I'm looking for him to have
24:15
Speaker 1: a huge game. A lot of people need to break
24:17
Speaker 1: some records. You know, Gene's got all that going on
24:19
Speaker 1: and I again anytime. Obviously, if Jalen Ramsey was on
24:23
Speaker 1: our team, I would love him just the player he is,
24:26
Speaker 1: the attitude, but he's not. So I'm riding with our
24:29
Speaker 1: guy and I want DK to beat him. I want
24:32
Speaker 1: him to beat him multiple times, you know, And that's
24:34
Speaker 1: just what it is. But should be should be a
24:37
Speaker 1: fun matchup. We've gone through all those matchups where we're
24:40
Speaker 1: gonna tell you how to see us from get this done,
24:41
Speaker 1: path to victory. After forty five waits for the staff,
24:47
Speaker 1: Michael Dickson puts it down. That kick is away. If
24:50
Speaker 1: that kick is gone, it's a path to victory. I'm
24:56
Speaker 1: Hawk talk. Take care of the ball, Bump. Last week
25:00
Speaker 1: it was the first time all season the Seahawks didn't
25:02
Speaker 1: turn the ball over. Every time I hear that, I'm
25:03
Speaker 1: just like, wait what. It doesn't feel like they were
25:06
Speaker 1: turning the ball over like crazy at the beginning of
25:07
Speaker 1: the year. But it's true. So keep the street alive,
25:10
Speaker 1: Bump on Sunday. Take care of that football. Yeah, man,
25:14
Speaker 1: keep that street going. Making two games in a row,
25:16
Speaker 1: and like every week, you just gotta run it two
25:18
Speaker 1: weeks in a row. Man ken Walker is looking healthier
25:21
Speaker 1: and healthier. If he can look like he did last week,
25:23
Speaker 1: I can see him going over one hundred again. And
25:27
Speaker 1: then just don't let the Rams hang around them like
25:30
Speaker 1: the longer they're within striking distance, the more confidence they get,
25:35
Speaker 1: the more loose they play, the more the start talk.
25:38
Speaker 1: They start talking. That's their game. So run the football.
25:42
Speaker 1: Man knock these guys all quick, fast start. Last week,
25:44
Speaker 1: I'll take a three play was seventy five yard drive
25:48
Speaker 1: to open a game for show? Oh yeah, any day
25:50
Speaker 1: of the week, and man shut down this Rams offense.
25:53
Speaker 1: The Rams have been, you know, last year and the
25:56
Speaker 1: last couple of years have been the greatest show on
25:58
Speaker 1: turf Part two. You know what I'm saying. Cooper Cup
26:00
Speaker 1: breaking every single record, Staffords slaying that thing. Ye know, Jefferson,
26:04
Speaker 1: yet you had Odell Beckham Junior. That's not where you're
26:07
Speaker 1: gonna see on Sundayn. You're gonna see Baker Bayfield. You're
26:09
Speaker 1: gonna se Van Jefferson, You're gonna see two you at
26:11
Speaker 1: Well Strownick. Those are not the same caliber guys. And
26:14
Speaker 1: the Seahawks need to shut down this offense and get
26:16
Speaker 1: after Baker. He hasn't been able to make a lot
26:18
Speaker 1: of plays down the field the season. Let's not make
26:20
Speaker 1: this game be that first one and then shut down game.
26:23
Speaker 1: Akers Man Seahawks and found something in a run game.
26:26
Speaker 1: Then he continue to be successful. There. Akers is running
26:29
Speaker 1: with some confidence, back to back one hundred yard games,
26:31
Speaker 1: and you know, he's running for his football life and
26:34
Speaker 1: proving to everyone that he should be the number one back.
26:36
Speaker 1: So that's gonna be a tall task. You know, it's
26:38
Speaker 1: easier said than done, but that's what the Seahaws needed
26:40
Speaker 1: to get this win. This is a playoff game, goal out,
26:45
Speaker 1: a line assigned correctly, make the plays, beat the Rams,
26:51
Speaker 1: and then sit back and relax and see what happens.
26:53
Speaker 1: Is the only good thing about the Lions playing late
26:55
Speaker 1: is that the Hawks and sit back and be like,
26:57
Speaker 1: all right, let's see, let's let's be a part all
27:00
Speaker 1: the drama that's gonna happen. Let's see how this unfolds,
27:03
Speaker 1: and just hope that the football gods bless you and
27:07
Speaker 1: they give you that push into the bayoffs man, because
27:09
Speaker 1: they've earned it. I know it's been in the season,
27:12
Speaker 1: but no one expected even this from the Hawks, and
27:15
Speaker 1: they put themselves in good position. Yeah, man, it's gonna
27:17
Speaker 1: be you know, obviously we're assuming Seaffs will get a victory,
27:21
Speaker 1: and we're gonna be in that postgame show, and that
27:23
Speaker 1: game is gonna be honest, it's gonna be hard to focus.
27:24
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be locked in. You're about to be locked in.
27:27
Speaker 1: Come on, Detroit, come on, Jared Goff, come on, Dan Campbell,
27:30
Speaker 1: bite them Mankles, bite them, knecast, do what you gotta do.
27:33
Speaker 1: That's why they've been hitting all season looking forward to it.
27:36
Speaker 1: Remember you can hear us anywhere seehaws, I can on Apple, Podcast, Spotify,
27:40
Speaker 1: sit your Series, XM, and more. Seahawks taking on the
27:43
