0:55
Speaker 4: time in the studio and it was dark.
0:56
Speaker 3: I know the lights are bright, but it was dark
0:58
Speaker 3: with bitness.
0:58
Speaker 4: Piece man, and they're playing some goodball and it's consistent,
1:02
Speaker 4: like the defense is consistent every week. I'm waiting. I go,
1:04
Speaker 4: all right, man, when's the falloff gonna happen? Isn't gonna happen?
1:06
Speaker 2: Right?
1:07
Speaker 3: But it has it? Man, So that that's good to see.
1:09
Speaker 1: No, they are playing at an incredibly high level. I've
1:11
Speaker 1: said it on our last podcast. I'll continue to say it.
1:13
Speaker 1: When the Seahawks are playing the way that they're playing
1:14
Speaker 1: right now, they can beat anyone in the National Football League.
1:18
Speaker 3: And you know, why don't we start on Sunday national audience?
1:20
Speaker 1: Why a lot of people let them know, Mike Trico, Collinsworth,
1:24
Speaker 1: everybody action, Green jerseys of it?
1:26
Speaker 3: Come on, baby, what's on tap? What's on tap?
1:33
Speaker 1: Talking about these Green Bay Packers. They are nine to four,
1:35
Speaker 1: third place in the NFC North. They've lost to the Eagles, Vikings,
1:39
Speaker 1: Lions twice. They have wins over the Colts, Titans, Rams, Cardinals, Texans, Jaguars, Bears,
1:46
Speaker 1: forty nine Ers, and the Dolphins.
1:47
Speaker 3: Bump and pretty entertaining game that they played last Thursday. Night.
1:51
Speaker 4: Yeah, man, before we get into that, you send me this. No,
1:55
Speaker 4: people are hyping these guys up. Green Bay Packers. Good
1:58
Speaker 4: football team, it's not gonna absolute football team. Not disrespecting
2:01
Speaker 4: them at all, but they got good losses and they
2:04
Speaker 4: look at the Seahawks losses and they say, well, they
2:06
Speaker 4: don't have good losses. So you know, we'll see how
2:09
Speaker 4: that squares up tonight or Sunday night.
2:11
Speaker 1: I should say, yeah, no, see, I'll get it to
2:14
Speaker 1: it a second. But people need to really look at
2:16
Speaker 1: the numbers.
2:16
Speaker 4: Yeah, look at numbers, looking numbers, all right, Packers in lines, man,
2:19
Speaker 4: this is one of the best, if not the best
2:21
Speaker 4: Thursday night football game of the season. It came down
2:23
Speaker 4: to the wire. Dan Campbell once again doing some crazy stuff. Man,
2:27
Speaker 4: Dan Campbell. It was thirty one thirty one. They're facing
2:29
Speaker 4: a fourth and one from the Packers twenty one yard
2:31
Speaker 4: line with forty three seconds left on the clock. My
2:35
Speaker 4: man says, you know what, we're gonna go for it.
2:37
Speaker 4: Ninety nine percent of coaches would have said, you know,
2:38
Speaker 4: let's kick the field goals, lift to fight another day.
2:41
Speaker 4: Not Dan Campbell. He went for and David Montgomery picked
2:44
Speaker 4: up seven yards and the first down, Montgomery barely got
2:47
Speaker 4: the handoff because God fell down.
2:49
Speaker 3: I was looking at the rules, I'm like, is he down?
2:51
Speaker 4: He did get touched, but it was by his teammates,
2:53
Speaker 4: so he should be good to go. But Twitter was
2:55
Speaker 4: going crazy talking about he should have been down. Learned
2:57
Speaker 4: the rules before you speak, always like before something. Always
3:00
Speaker 4: handed to my wife and say, rethe this this makes sense.
3:03
Speaker 3: To you college college who have been down. I'm not.
3:06
Speaker 4: I'm just saying he would have been down to college,
3:07
Speaker 4: been out there, but uh no, he handed the football offense.
3:09
Speaker 3: They picked the the first down. Would you have done
3:12
Speaker 3: that at Monroe High School? Pack?
3:13
Speaker 4: No, it's on the foot, there's no chs on the foot,
3:15
Speaker 4: the kickers warming up on third down, and he's already
3:18
Speaker 4: ready to go.
3:18
Speaker 3: It wasn't like they were at the forty nine yard line.
3:21
Speaker 3: They're like, oh, we're kind of on the edge here.
3:23
Speaker 3: He just wanted to end the game. And Campbell's nuts
3:25
Speaker 3: for that and good for him.
3:27
Speaker 1: The way that they play, and that's I can't live
3:29
Speaker 1: on that edge because it looks great when you convert.
3:31
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's stressful.
3:33
Speaker 4: Yeah, NFC Championship game, just saying, yeah, he didn't learn
3:37
Speaker 4: from that, but he is who he is.
3:38
Speaker 3: I expect that.
3:39
Speaker 1: I absolutely respect it because you're right, that is who
3:40
Speaker 1: he is. And uh yeah, Packers obviously going to lose
3:43
Speaker 1: that football game. Jared GoF finished today thirty two of
3:46
Speaker 1: forty one to eighty three, three touchdowns, one pick. Josh Jacobs,
3:49
Speaker 1: who were going to talk about he had three tuds?
3:52
Speaker 1: Josh Jacobs, I have bad memories.
3:54
Speaker 4: But that man Raiders three hundred yards of total offense,
3:58
Speaker 4: the game winning run, and we were in the south
4:02
Speaker 4: end zone watching it all go down.
4:05
Speaker 3: The line just opened up and he was out of there. Yeah,
4:09
Speaker 3: that was rough man.
4:10
Speaker 1: So anyway, we don't need to be reintroduced to Josh
4:12
Speaker 1: Jacobs because we know how good he is. But Bump,
4:14
Speaker 1: you alluded to it. You brought up the Packers losses.
4:17
Speaker 1: So they do have four losses on the season. I
4:19
Speaker 1: said the Eagles, Vikings and Troit Lions twice. Now, I've
4:22
Speaker 1: heard a lot of talk to some good losses. Now
4:24
Speaker 1: they are great losses, right, All those teams they have
4:27
Speaker 1: a combined record of forty six and six, so when
4:29
Speaker 1: they do lose, they're only losing to the cream of
4:31
Speaker 1: the crop. Really good football teams. They've only lost those
4:34
Speaker 1: games by an average of five points. Now for me, Bump,
4:38
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. Losses are losses. Doesn't matter if you could
4:41
Speaker 1: beat by five hundred or if you get beat by one,
4:43
Speaker 1: the same as CFP no exactly some collegeball playoffs in
4:46
Speaker 1: twelve teams, losses are losses. Though I don't understand why
4:49
Speaker 1: they're greting getting as much credit for those losses as
4:51
Speaker 1: they are, because, like I said, there's still four losses.
4:53
Speaker 1: But here's the part I want to pay attention to
4:56
Speaker 1: pay attention to their wins.
4:59
Speaker 3: Let's look at the wins.
5:00
Speaker 1: Okay, they've actually only beat two teams with winning records
5:03
Speaker 1: of their nine games, the Rams and the Texans. And
5:06
Speaker 1: then when you total their nine wins, those opponents have
5:08
Speaker 1: a combined winning percentage of four to eighteen forty nine
5:12
Speaker 1: and sixty eight record, So not very good. Some would say,
5:15
Speaker 1: I don't know who they beat. Now, let's look at
5:18
Speaker 1: the Seahawks for context. Seahawks have beat one team of
5:20
Speaker 1: the winning record, the Broncos, and when you total their
5:23
Speaker 1: eight wins the Seahawks have those opponents have combined for
5:26
Speaker 1: a winning percentage of four to twenty three, forty four
5:29
Speaker 1: and sixties slightly better than the Packers. So maybe we
5:32
Speaker 1: shouldn't just praise the Packers for good losses. We got
5:34
Speaker 1: to look at who they beat. And I'm not disparaging
5:36
Speaker 1: them at all. We're gonna spend time going through how
5:37
Speaker 1: good of a football team, saying, let's just be fair
5:39
Speaker 1: about the situation.
5:40
Speaker 3: Exactly, let's stop getting credit for losses. Who did they beat?
5:43
Speaker 1: It's the same conversation because everyone's hammering the Seahawks, say,
5:45
Speaker 1: and they haven't beaten anyone. Yeah, And we're also not
5:47
Speaker 1: taking ato account when we played these teams. Falcons run
5:50
Speaker 1: a heater when we played the first time we played
5:52
Speaker 1: the Niners, they're good playing good.
5:53
Speaker 4: For Cardinals for four game winning streak when we played
5:55
Speaker 4: them first time.
5:56
Speaker 1: Exactly all those teams actually had a winning anyway. So
5:59
Speaker 1: it is what it is. I'm just saying my piece.
6:00
Speaker 1: I'll get up my soapbox, but pay attention to who
6:03
Speaker 1: they beat. Okay, when you're going through this bump us
6:05
Speaker 1: side bout the head head.
6:06
Speaker 4: All right, let's look at these these teams by the numbers.
6:09
Speaker 4: The Packers a good offense, the sixth offense in the game,
6:12
Speaker 4: averaging three hundred and sixty excuse me, seventy six yards
6:15
Speaker 4: per game. They are the fifth rush offense, the tenth
6:17
Speaker 4: passing offense, and seventh when it comes to putting up
6:19
Speaker 4: points twenty six points per game. The Seahawks are thirteenth overall,
6:23
Speaker 4: twenty seventh when it comes running the rock. We might
6:26
Speaker 4: have found something known when it comes running the rock,
6:28
Speaker 4: third when it comes to passing offense, fifteenth when it
6:31
Speaker 4: comes to scoring two hundred two hundred will be nice.
6:34
Speaker 4: They're scoring two hundred gay twenty three points per game. Defensively,
6:38
Speaker 4: is kind of where evens out a little bit. Packers
6:40
Speaker 4: thirteenth overall, Seahawks eighteenth overall. But the jump defensively has
6:44
Speaker 4: been great for the Seahawks.
6:46
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I mean there's reason why we're looking at
6:49
Speaker 1: the numbers since like week nine. Yeah, because that's really
6:50
Speaker 1: telling the story about where the Seahawks is right now.
6:52
Speaker 1: If you're looking at the Seahawks from an outside perspective,
6:55
Speaker 1: you're staying damn. They're twenty seventh in rush offense and
6:58
Speaker 1: they're twenty first in run defense. But that's not telling
7:00
Speaker 1: a story about where this team currently sits defensively. The
7:03
Speaker 1: Packers are also really good man their thirteenth to total defense,
7:06
Speaker 1: ninth against the run, twenty first against the pass, and
7:08
Speaker 1: ninth in points allowed. But where they accel bump.
7:12
Speaker 3: Takeaways, turnover ways.
7:14
Speaker 1: They are plus nine and turnover differential for context Seahawks
7:17
Speaker 1: or minus four. They have twelve interceptions and they're in
7:20
Speaker 1: the tops in the league at taking the ball away,
7:22
Speaker 1: so they're very good there and their defense. As long
7:25
Speaker 1: as the Seahawks can protect the football, I think that'll
7:27
Speaker 1: be the big factor in this.
7:28
Speaker 3: Their defense is pretty good.
7:30
Speaker 4: Watching film with them against the Detroit Lions at the
7:32
Speaker 4: Miami Dolphins, their safety plays crazy. We'll talk about Xavier
7:35
Speaker 4: mckennum sure, who flies around and makes plays. Their safety
7:38
Speaker 4: play is really good. They love to play man. They're
7:40
Speaker 4: gonna be sticky on coverage. Their defense deserves all the
7:43
Speaker 4: love they're getting.
7:44
Speaker 3: Yep.
7:44
Speaker 1: So the Seahawks definitely will have their hands full with
7:46
Speaker 1: the Packers defense. These two teams they don't play every year,
7:50
Speaker 1: but they definitely have a complicated history, no your history.
7:55
Speaker 1: Packers lead the all time series fifteen to nine. They're
7:58
Speaker 1: eight and twelve in the regular season in a one
8:00
Speaker 1: to three edge on the Seahawks in the postseason, The
8:03
Speaker 1: Packers have won five of the last six matchups, but
8:05
Speaker 1: this matchup has been dominated by the home team. The
8:08
Speaker 1: Seahawks have not won a Lambeau Field since nineteen ninety nine,
8:11
Speaker 1: coach Holgren's first year. So it's been a little while.
8:15
Speaker 1: Ten game losing streaks, some not good moments. I don't
8:17
Speaker 1: need to get into those. I think everyone is pretty
8:19
Speaker 1: well aware of them. On the flip side, though, Packers
8:22
Speaker 1: haven't won in Seattle since Michael Bumpus was returning punts
8:26
Speaker 1: in two thousand and eight.
8:27
Speaker 4: I remember that we lost that game you did. That's
8:29
Speaker 4: the last time I remember. I drew a illegal hands
8:33
Speaker 4: to the face there. I got pressed a line of
8:34
Speaker 4: scrimmage hands to the face. My helmet was like, sighways,
8:37
Speaker 4: hassleback fields are the football.
8:38
Speaker 3: I can't see it. But we got them. We got
8:40
Speaker 3: the penalty.
8:41
Speaker 1: Okay, So it's I'm just saying that because it's been
8:44
Speaker 1: a long time. M hm. So the Seahawks have won
8:46
Speaker 1: the last four games at lew Field, so hoping we
8:48
Speaker 1: see more of that. This last out between matchup between
8:51
Speaker 1: these two teams. Not a great game a Lambeau Seahawks
8:53
Speaker 1: were shout out seventeen zero in Week ten twenty twenty
8:56
Speaker 1: one season. If you guys remember this from Russell Wilson.
8:58
Speaker 1: He broke his finger. Yeah, came back in only three
9:01
Speaker 1: or four weeks. He wasn't ready to go in terms
9:03
Speaker 1: of how he was playing. His twenty and forty one
9:05
Speaker 1: to sixty one, zero touchdowns, two interceptions. Both of those
9:08
Speaker 1: came in the end zone. Very costly there. Gerald Everett
9:11
Speaker 1: was your leading receiver. Alex Collins, dress In Peace led
9:14
Speaker 1: the team in rushing ten carries forty one yards. Aaron
9:17
Speaker 1: Rodgers didn't even play very good. He was twenty three
9:19
Speaker 1: or thirty seven two ninety two and a pick. And
9:21
Speaker 1: aj Dillon was the leading ball carrier. So forgettable game
9:24
Speaker 1: in Lambeufield. I'm hoping that tide changes whenever we go
9:26
Speaker 1: down there next. Yeah, but it's all about what happens
9:29
Speaker 1: in Luminfield. But let's turn our attention to what's going
9:32
Speaker 1: on in the NFC West.
9:34
Speaker 3: What's the word and the Seahawks?
9:39
Speaker 2: So the NFC West champs again.
9:42
Speaker 3: What's the word? In the West? On Hawk top?
9:46
Speaker 4: The Hawks still at the top of the division eight
9:49
Speaker 4: and five, The Rams are seven and six to Cardinals,
9:52
Speaker 4: and the Niners are both six and seven. The Hawks
9:55
Speaker 4: maintained their division lead after beating the Cardinals last week.
9:57
Speaker 4: The Hawks now essentially have a three game leader on
10:00
Speaker 4: the Cardinals given the tiebreaker. The forty nine ers in
10:03
Speaker 4: the Rams face off tonight on Thursday Night Football, which
10:05
Speaker 4: could have big implications for the division rates. Let's talk
10:09
Speaker 4: about what happened last week. We're watching the game. We
10:11
Speaker 4: are begging, begging for the Bills. Come on, Bills, hook
10:15
Speaker 4: us up, Bills, come through the Bills. That's not what happened.
10:17
Speaker 4: It was a crazy game, man. The Bills came into
10:20
Speaker 4: this game with a seven game winning streak, and if
10:22
Speaker 4: you want a defense that's saying for you forty four
10:24
Speaker 4: forty two, that think was crazy. Josh Allen Allen with
10:27
Speaker 4: nuts twenty two to thirty seven, three hundred and forty
10:30
Speaker 4: two yards, three touchdowns. He also had eighty two rushing
10:33
Speaker 4: yards on ten carries in three touchdowns six total touchdowns.
10:37
Speaker 4: He became the first player in NFL history with three
10:39
Speaker 4: passing touchdowns and three rushing tds in a game, six touchdowns,
10:43
Speaker 4: eight and nuns Is nineteen fifty four, nineteen fifty four.
10:46
Speaker 4: I was listening to herm Edwards talk. He said he
10:49
Speaker 4: was born in nineteen fifty four.
10:50
Speaker 3: I'm not herm you don't look that old though. Her good, Yeah,
10:53
Speaker 3: her looks good. Her looks good.
10:55
Speaker 4: But what Trailing thirty eight to thirty five with three
10:58
Speaker 4: minutes fifty three seconds left in the game, the Rams
11:00
Speaker 4: were facing fourth and five from the Bill's thirty five
11:02
Speaker 4: yard lines. The officials missed an obvious false start. It
11:06
Speaker 4: was crazy, it was so obvious. The Rams converted and
11:08
Speaker 4: eventually going on into the end zone. The Bills scored
11:12
Speaker 4: of the next drive, but didn't recover the on side kick,
11:14
Speaker 4: and the Rams held on for the forty four to
11:16
Speaker 4: forty two When Matthew Stafford was twenty three of thirty
11:19
Speaker 4: three twenty and two touchdowns. Pooka he might be the
11:23
Speaker 4: best receiver on that team. Now, no disrespect to Cooper Cup,
11:26
Speaker 4: an all time great, probably gonna be in the Hall
11:28
Speaker 4: of Fame, but Pooka's taken over man. Twelve receptions, one
11:32
Speaker 4: hundred and sixty two yards, two touchdowns. It was one
11:35
Speaker 4: receiving everyone rush and he did it. It was wild
11:38
Speaker 4: to see that game.
11:38
Speaker 1: Yeah, Puka's killing it on hundred and sixty yards. He's
11:40
Speaker 1: doing it every every week, and the Rams, man, they're
11:43
Speaker 1: frustrating from an NFUS rival standpoint because you're not always
11:48
Speaker 1: sure what team's gonna show up. But every time you
11:50
Speaker 1: lace them up against them, they can beat any team.
11:52
Speaker 1: They're just the way they're coached by Sean McVay, the
11:55
Speaker 1: way their defense has enough guys here and there, even
11:57
Speaker 1: without Aaron Donald, they'll make you pay at any given time.
12:00
Speaker 1: I mean, you look at their effort against the Bills
12:02
Speaker 1: and then you look at them against the Dolphins a
12:04
Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago, up and down. Obviously in the
12:06
Speaker 1: Seahawks game, I feel that was the game Seahawks gave away.
12:08
Speaker 1: But it is what it is, and the Rams currently
12:10
Speaker 1: have the tie breaker over the Seahawks right now, Obviously,
12:13
Speaker 1: the Seahawks and Rams play Week eighteen, final game of
12:15
Speaker 1: the season, so we'll see hopefully the Rams. Though again,
12:19
Speaker 1: we're not rooting for the forty nine ers, Lenna, be
12:22
Speaker 1: very clear about that. We are really calling it for
12:26
Speaker 1: the Rams to lose.
12:29
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're rooting for the Rams to lose against the
12:32
Speaker 3: forty nine ers. They both can't lose. I mean they
12:33
Speaker 3: could tie.
12:34
Speaker 1: I guess I take what does the tie do you
12:36
Speaker 1: do that math, the ties models things up. I mean
12:38
Speaker 1: a tie is a tie is better than a win,
12:42
Speaker 1: but it's still kind of like it still.
12:44
Speaker 3: Makes it still complicated.
12:46
Speaker 1: Confusing broadcasting line from Seahawks Podcast Studio presented by Sony,
12:50
Speaker 1: the official partner of the Seattle Seahawks. The other matchup
12:53
Speaker 1: in the NFC West was the Bears taking on the
12:54
Speaker 1: forty nine Ers.
12:56
Speaker 2: Four.
12:56
Speaker 3: Nines were down bad for a couple of weeks.
12:58
Speaker 1: Man, they lost three in a row, fell last place
13:00
Speaker 1: in the division. But they're able to get back on track.
13:02
Speaker 1: They smacked around the Bears thirty eight ten. This was
13:05
Speaker 1: the first game after Matt ever Fluss was let go.
13:08
Speaker 1: Bears have now lost seven in a row. Niners were
13:11
Speaker 1: outscored by fifty three points previous two weeks. They took
13:13
Speaker 1: out some frustrations on the Bears are up twenty four NH.
13:15
Speaker 1: In halftime, George Kittle went off party had a good day, one,
13:19
Speaker 1: Jennings had a good day. Cale Williams okay, shout out
13:23
Speaker 1: to Roman though two touchdowns all right, I won't say that,
13:28
Speaker 1: but go ahead wrong Well anyway, Like I said, that
13:31
Speaker 1: sets up the table for Thursday Night football.
13:33
Speaker 3: Rams forty nine ers.
13:34
Speaker 1: Both teams can't lose, So we're rooting for the Rams
13:36
Speaker 1: as a Seahawks fan, for the Rams to lose, because
13:40
Speaker 1: if the Rams lose on Thursday, and the Seahawks win
13:43
Speaker 1: the next three games, they will have wrapped up the
13:45
Speaker 1: NFC West be before that matchup against the.
13:47
Speaker 3: Rams, locked up the real naked choke hole. Gotta tap out.
13:53
Speaker 1: I don't want to pass out, I mean, so hopefully
13:54
Speaker 1: we're hoping that happens for the Seahawks. Obviously, we'll see
13:56
Speaker 1: what happens paying attention to that, so we'll stay locked in,
13:59
Speaker 1: but will try our attention back to the Greenmay Packers
14:02
Speaker 1: coming into lum min Field.
14:03
Speaker 3: Man up, Hey, who you got? Who you got? You
14:06
Speaker 3: know what time it is? Man up? Man up, brother,
14:08
Speaker 3: man up man up on Hawk Talk Seahawks. Jordan Love
14:14
Speaker 3: taking on this defense. Jordan Love.
14:16
Speaker 1: You been in the league a twenty twenty one but
14:18
Speaker 1: didn't become the full time starter or the guy till
14:20
Speaker 1: last season when the Packers finally moved on Ran Rodgers.
14:24
Speaker 3: Packers shocked the NFL.
14:25
Speaker 1: They make it to the playoffs, they go nine to eight,
14:27
Speaker 1: they win a game, they honestly should have beat the
14:29
Speaker 1: forty nine ers in that divisional game. They were unable
14:32
Speaker 1: to get that done. So coming in this year, they
14:34
Speaker 1: weren't gonna surprise anybody. They were favored to be a
14:36
Speaker 1: good team in that division. And despite missing two games,
14:39
Speaker 1: Jordan Love is still doing pretty well. He's got these
14:42
Speaker 1: top ten in touchdown passes with twenty one. He's six
14:45
Speaker 1: in the NFL in touchdown percentage and passing touchdowns per game,
14:48
Speaker 1: and over the last four games he's got a one
14:50
Speaker 1: to eighteen passer rating nine hundred and four yards, six touchdowns,
14:53
Speaker 1: one interception. He ranks third in passer rating over that span.
14:57
Speaker 1: But the thing that stands out about their off and
15:00
Speaker 1: Jordan Love, it's them as a unit as a whole.
15:02
Speaker 1: I'm gonna rip off some stats about the Niners being
15:04
Speaker 1: a top ten offense yards per game, they're six yards
15:07
Speaker 1: per play, their third passing yards per play, their third.
15:10
Speaker 1: Sacks allowed per passing atteenth or third in the NFL.
15:13
Speaker 1: They're only getting sack four point three percent of the place,
15:16
Speaker 1: so they're protecting Jordan Love. They're averaging twenty six points
15:19
Speaker 1: a game, that's seventh the NFL. They've allowed only two
15:22
Speaker 1: sixteen sacks, second in the NFL, and they're also explosive.
15:26
Speaker 1: They're fifth in explosive runs with forty two, fourth in
15:29
Speaker 1: explosive plays total. So the Seahawks are definitely going to
15:32
Speaker 1: have to They're gonna have their hands fall against. His
15:33
Speaker 1: offense is gonna be the best offense they faced in
15:36
Speaker 1: a little while.
15:37
Speaker 4: Love looks good. He'll turn the football over if you
15:40
Speaker 4: get to him. But that's if you get to him.
15:42
Speaker 4: You just mentioned only sixteen sacks on the season, that's
15:44
Speaker 4: second in the game. But if you get to him.
15:46
Speaker 4: He's got that young mentality. You know, when you're young,
15:49
Speaker 4: you take more chances in life. Right, That's what I
15:51
Speaker 4: see when I see Jordan Love. He'll make some throws
15:53
Speaker 4: that I go, you probably shouldn't have made that throw,
15:55
Speaker 4: but you're athletic enough to where you're able to pull
15:57
Speaker 4: it off. That's what I'm banking on. I need him
15:59
Speaker 4: to throw some things up and let it go. And
16:01
Speaker 4: they pushed the ball down the field. It was something
16:03
Speaker 4: like nine point four yards per intended air yards. And
16:07
Speaker 4: when he throws the football, which is fourth in the
16:09
Speaker 4: NFL behind Jameis Winston, Trevor Lawrence, and Anthony Richards, is
16:12
Speaker 4: surprising I would not have thought those three will be
16:14
Speaker 4: in front of him, but yeah, they will push the
16:17
Speaker 4: ball down the field. He likes to hit the sidelines.
16:19
Speaker 4: He likes to the moyer stad. We used to talk
16:22
Speaker 4: about brock Purdy all the time. Outside of the numbers,
16:24
Speaker 4: he will hit the middle, but it likes the outside.
16:26
Speaker 4: So there should be some opportunities out there for the secondary,
16:30
Speaker 4: all right. Geno Smith Man, Gino Smith coming off another
16:33
Speaker 4: really solid performance.
16:33
Speaker 3: He was twenty four to thirty two hundred and thirty.
16:35
Speaker 4: Three yards, one touchdown, second consecutive game no turnovers.
16:39
Speaker 3: Man, we know this.
16:40
Speaker 4: First time all season. He also completed eighty percent of
16:43
Speaker 4: his passes, best all season. Right now, Geno's in fifth
16:46
Speaker 4: place in franchise history and attempts, completion, his passing yards,
16:49
Speaker 4: and passing touchdowns. Gino needs just one three hundred yard
16:52
Speaker 4: game to ty Russell Wilson for the most three hundred
16:54
Speaker 4: yard games in a single season in franchise history with five.
16:58
Speaker 4: Here's Gino when it comes to the numbers in the
17:01
Speaker 4: league in attempts, second and completions, he is second.
17:04
Speaker 3: In passing yards, He's second.
17:06
Speaker 4: Completion percentage, he is fifth sixty nine point five percent
17:09
Speaker 4: if he can get to seventy percent, he's already doing
17:12
Speaker 4: some things that Russell has done and creeping up on him.
17:14
Speaker 4: If he can get to seventy percent of the year,
17:16
Speaker 4: that's something Russell has never done.
17:17
Speaker 3: That's a tip of the cat for him.
17:19
Speaker 4: So he's going up against his Packers defense thirteenth and
17:21
Speaker 4: total defense twenty first against the pass ball security, job security.
17:27
Speaker 4: Green Bay is tied for third in takeaways, they're tied
17:30
Speaker 4: for eighth in interceptions, they're tied for second and fumble recoveries.
17:33
Speaker 4: They're plus nine in the turnover differential. Take care of
17:37
Speaker 4: the rock you should you should be okay, take it
17:39
Speaker 4: a ruck, take care of the rock you want to
17:40
Speaker 4: chance late in the game, hold on to the day football.
17:43
Speaker 1: You just gotta be intentional about it, because you know,
17:45
Speaker 1: people talk about turnovers coming in bunches obviously and being
17:48
Speaker 1: in the right place at the right time. Two things
17:50
Speaker 1: about defense. When you have this many turnovers, you're doing
17:52
Speaker 1: more than just getting lucky. You're in the right place
17:54
Speaker 1: all the time, and you are practically actively taking care
17:57
Speaker 1: of taking the football away. That's you know, for those
18:00
Speaker 1: who have played football, that's turnover circuit. That's pursuit drill.
18:03
Speaker 1: That's all this stuff you're actively trying to change off.
18:05
Speaker 1: Punch it out, and they're doing it, and then the
18:07
Speaker 1: Ballhawks over that. They won the turnover differential in eight
18:10
Speaker 1: games this season. They're seven to one under the floor
18:14
Speaker 1: when winning. I butchered that.
18:17
Speaker 3: Floor.
18:18
Speaker 4: I go a flir, I got I got a floor,
18:20
Speaker 4: you know, mix it up, put some spice on that thing,
18:23
Speaker 4: you know, So take you're right, take care of themn
18:25
Speaker 4: football and the Seahawks will definitely be good packers.
18:27
Speaker 1: Number one of the league points off turnovers this season
18:29
Speaker 1: with ninety seven, So if you want to take care
18:32
Speaker 1: of that, we're broadcasting live from the Seahawks Podcast Studio,

18:56
Speaker 1: Bump this run game, no joke to it.
19:00
Speaker 3: Earlier.
19:00
Speaker 1: Josh Jacobs still got nightmares from that twenty twenty two
19:04
Speaker 1: game against the Seahawks when he was playing for the Raiders.
19:06
Speaker 1: He is a former first round pick from Alabama. Ranks
19:09
Speaker 1: third in the NFL was one thousand and fifty three
19:11
Speaker 1: rushing yards. Derrick Henry and Saquan Really taking this guy shine.
19:16
Speaker 4: Man on any other year like an average year, right,
19:19
Speaker 4: Josh Jacobs is a national treasure right now. But you
19:23
Speaker 4: know Sakwonda what he doing and d Henry, Hey, you
19:25
Speaker 4: gotta wit your turns, yuh.
19:26
Speaker 1: It's tough. But anyway, he's obviously killing the game. He's
19:28
Speaker 1: registered fourth one thousand yard rushing season of his career,
19:31
Speaker 1: tied for the second most in the NFL since he
19:33
Speaker 1: entered the league in twenty nineteen. The only other person
19:35
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry. He's tied for fifty the NFL this season
19:38
Speaker 1: with eleven rushing tds. He's supposed to a rushing touchdown
19:41
Speaker 1: in four straight games. And the thing about him, too, man,
19:44
Speaker 1: is he is tied for eighth in the NFL the
19:47
Speaker 1: season and explosive runs. He's got eighteen explosive runs. He's
19:51
Speaker 1: also he's really good yakyards after the catch. So here's
19:54
Speaker 1: the thing, man, with Josh Jacobs, you gotta tackle. Yeah,
19:58
Speaker 1: that sounds so simple. I it sounds like great analysis.
20:01
Speaker 1: You got to tackle him.
20:02
Speaker 3: Yeah, but he's physical. He's not a guy you can
20:04
Speaker 3: arm tackle.
20:05
Speaker 1: But what I love about it is the Seahawks run
20:07
Speaker 1: defense has shown you, now in five straight weeks, that
20:09
Speaker 1: they can get that done. They're playing at a high level.
20:12
Speaker 1: Since Week nine, they're allowing just ninety seven rush yards
20:14
Speaker 1: per game. That's nineth in the NFL. They have not
20:16
Speaker 1: allowed one hundred yard rusher since James Cook in Week eight.
20:20
Speaker 1: So overall, the Seahawks ring twenty first in the NFL
20:22
Speaker 1: in rush defense. But that hasn't shown you what they've
20:24
Speaker 1: been doing. So I think they're up for the task.
20:26
Speaker 1: They put it on tape week after week after week,
20:28
Speaker 1: so I'd expect them to contain Josh Jay Gibbs, not
20:31
Speaker 1: completely shut him down, but contain him.
20:33
Speaker 3: You gotta tackle him.
20:34
Speaker 4: He's broken twenty seven tackles, that second amongst running backs
20:38
Speaker 4: behind Derrick Henry. He's got about six hundred and seven
20:41
Speaker 4: yards when it comes to the yards after contact behind
20:44
Speaker 4: Derrick Henry. So yeah, you say tackle is simple, but no,
20:47
Speaker 4: you really got to do that because he won't break
20:48
Speaker 4: tackles and he's good after contact. Let's shift our focus
20:52
Speaker 4: to the Packers receivers against the Seahawks secondary. The Packers
20:56
Speaker 4: definitely have some talented receivers, but haven't had a legit
20:59
Speaker 4: number one since Devonte Adams left. Adams was the last
21:01
Speaker 4: receiver to hit a thousand yards during the twenty twenty
21:04
Speaker 4: one season. Leading the charge for the Packers this season
21:07
Speaker 4: is former Michigan receiver Jaden Reid. Re leads the Packers
21:10
Speaker 4: in both receptions and receiving yards. Retied a single game
21:13
Speaker 4: career high with two receiving touchdowns in Week thirteen, giving
21:17
Speaker 4: him fourteen for his career, tied for the third most
21:19
Speaker 4: by a Packer in his first two NFL seasons. Read
21:22
Speaker 4: is tied for number five in the NFL with three
21:24
Speaker 4: receptions of fifty plus yards.
21:26
Speaker 3: I told you they gonna air that thing out.
21:28
Speaker 4: Read is tied for fifth in the NFL and twenty
21:30
Speaker 4: five plus yard receptions this season. So far this year
21:33
Speaker 4: four to four receptions, six hundred and ninety three yards
21:36
Speaker 4: and six touchdowns. And they got to get tight end
21:38
Speaker 4: over there. There's a trend. Most offenses have a tight
21:42
Speaker 4: end who's getting her done. The tight end position is evolving,
21:45
Speaker 4: and Tucker Kraft is a great example that he has
21:48
Speaker 4: seven receiving touchdowns, he has three hundred and fifty seven
21:52
Speaker 4: yards after the catch, He has thirteen averages, thirteen point
21:55
Speaker 4: four yards per reception and nine point two yards per reception.
22:00
Speaker 4: This dude is he's something special. They got a bunch
22:02
Speaker 4: of receivers like there's no real like, yeah, okay, thousand
22:05
Speaker 4: yard receiver. But they got a guy with four hundred,
22:07
Speaker 4: a guy with five hundred, Christian Watson, that's five. You
22:10
Speaker 4: got Romeo Dobbs with four hundred dy three and two touchdowns.
22:13
Speaker 4: They spread the ball out. So sometimes you look at
22:15
Speaker 4: a team and if they don't have a guy with
22:17
Speaker 4: a thousand yards saying all that past game is week
22:19
Speaker 4: I look at the way they spread the football around,
22:22
Speaker 4: and I look at the back end. Y'all gotta be
22:24
Speaker 4: on point because they will deconduct and they will take
22:27
Speaker 4: their shots. You know where Matt Lafleur, he's from that
22:30
Speaker 4: Shanahan tree, Shanahan Tree. He gonna find ways to get
22:33
Speaker 4: these guys the ball. So it's by committee. When you
22:36
Speaker 4: look at this receiving corps.
22:38
Speaker 1: Yeah, and even Tucker Kraft. You think tight end, he's
22:40
Speaker 1: got some. He's got two catches for over six yards
22:42
Speaker 1: this year, so even he can get you in explosive.
22:44
Speaker 3: So to your I think that's a great point.
22:47
Speaker 1: They they're not going to have the DeVante Adams justin Jefferson,
22:50
Speaker 1: but as a collective unit, every one of them can play.
22:52
Speaker 1: Everyone can get got. So the Seahawk secondary needs to
22:55
Speaker 1: be on point. We know they will flipping it over
22:58
Speaker 1: to the Seahawks receivers jsnd metcalf and the Packers secondary
23:02
Speaker 1: led by Xavier McKinney.
23:04
Speaker 3: Now jas En dude can play. Yeah cool, Yeah, we'll
23:07
Speaker 3: get to him a second.
23:08
Speaker 1: Jason Mister consistent last week five receptions eighty two yards
23:11
Speaker 1: a touchdown set a single season career high with five touchdowns.
23:15
Speaker 1: He's now six in the NFL and receiving yards nine
23:17
Speaker 1: to eleven. Continues to climb in the charts, Ninth in
23:19
Speaker 1: receptions at seventy five. He needs just eighty nine yards
23:23
Speaker 1: become the first time in his year to get a
23:25
Speaker 1: thousand yards. He'll be the tenth player in franchise history
23:28
Speaker 1: to do that. Then you got DK metcalf. His production
23:31
Speaker 1: slowed down a little bit, but again every week he's
23:33
Speaker 1: still making big receptions. He's averaging fifteen yards per reception,
23:36
Speaker 1: which is eighth in the NFL with a minimum of
23:39
Speaker 1: forty seven receptions. He also has a ten plus yard
23:41
Speaker 1: reception in every game he's played in this season. DK
23:45
Speaker 1: needs just one touchdown to pass Steve Largin for the
23:47
Speaker 1: most touchdowns and players first six season in franchise history
23:50
Speaker 1: forty seven. So I'm waiting for DK to have a
23:52
Speaker 1: breakout game. I know what's coming, waiting for that, really
23:55
Speaker 1: want to see. So he's having a quiet year and
23:57
Speaker 1: he's gonna go for one thousand this year. He's a
23:58
Speaker 1: eight twelve, he's gonna get a thousand, going to.
24:00
Speaker 3: Get a thousand this year.
24:01
Speaker 1: And if he didn't get hurt, but if he might,
24:03
Speaker 1: he might have he might have twelve hundred.
24:05
Speaker 3: Now.
24:05
Speaker 1: Yeah, so definitely interesting to see there. But they're going
24:08
Speaker 1: up against the secondary that is taking the ball away.
24:11
Speaker 3: Who are they?
24:12
Speaker 1: Led by Xavier McKinney. TIFVERD League lead the interceptions with seven.
24:15
Speaker 1: He ranks number one with eight total takeaways. He's also
24:18
Speaker 1: got a fumble recovery there. First player in team history.
24:21
Speaker 1: Racer interception in his first five games in the Green
24:23
Speaker 1: Bay uniform. Was also the first player in NFL history
24:26
Speaker 1: since the nineteen seventy merger with an interception in his
24:30
Speaker 1: first five games with a team.
24:32
Speaker 4: Dude's a ballhawk, Yeah, man, he flies around. He got
24:35
Speaker 4: he got good hair for it too, like half his
24:37
Speaker 4: blond half as black. Got the dress like. He looks
24:40
Speaker 4: like a dude who will find the football. If I
24:42
Speaker 4: was going to build a safety on Madden, it probably
24:44
Speaker 4: looked like him.
24:45
Speaker 3: But yeah, safety play is going to be good. These
24:47
Speaker 3: guys are solid, good to go, all right.
24:49
Speaker 4: Let's look at Zach Sharbney and Ken Walker. Man Sharviney said, listen,
24:53
Speaker 4: one thirty one, okay, one two touchdowns.
24:56
Speaker 3: This is what I do, all right. For the first time.
24:58
Speaker 4: This week one, the Seahawks had one one hundred yard
25:00
Speaker 4: rusher against the Cardinals. The Seahawks rush as a team
25:03
Speaker 4: for one hundred and seventy six yards, which was a
25:05
Speaker 4: season high and the most rushing yard since the final
25:08
Speaker 4: two games of the twenty twenty two season, when the
25:10
Speaker 4: Hawks rush for one ninety eight and one ninety seven.
25:13
Speaker 4: Leading The charge for the Seahawks was Zach Scharbaay just
25:15
Speaker 4: mentioned it. One hundred and ninety three yards from scrimmage,
25:18
Speaker 4: one thirty four in the ground. I said, one thirty
25:20
Speaker 4: one my bad, short short, three my bad, and fifty
25:24
Speaker 4: nine yards shoot the air. Career highs in every category.
25:27
Speaker 4: The Seahawks are obviously hoping to repeat that performance. But
25:31
Speaker 4: the Seahawks, excuse me, The Packers have a solid defense.
25:33
Speaker 4: The Packers have the leadst ninth best rushing defense, allowing
25:36
Speaker 4: just one oh six on the ground. The biggest question
25:39
Speaker 4: mark is Knwalker gonna play. We're waiting to see. If
25:42
Speaker 4: he does play, you gotta one two combo. If he
25:46
Speaker 4: doesn't play, you still might have a one two combo
25:48
Speaker 4: because Kenny Mack return of the back that needs to
25:50
Speaker 4: be nat You know what I'm gonna sing.
25:52
Speaker 3: That for on my birthday tomorrow? All right? Carry? Oh,
25:55
Speaker 3: let's get it. Kenny had thirty eight yards on just
25:58
Speaker 3: seven carries.
25:58
Speaker 4: He have his five point four yards per carry, including
26:01
Speaker 4: a sixteen yard run. He had a couple of receptions too,
26:03
Speaker 4: So Kenny Mack he's in there.
26:05
Speaker 1: No, I think the Seahawks are. They're good to go
26:06
Speaker 1: up the ring back position. Obviously, this team is better
26:09
Speaker 1: with number nine out there. Yeah, for showing will tell
26:11
Speaker 1: me different show they're trying to, some are trying to.
26:13
Speaker 1: I'm like, listen, don't forget about what Ken does.
26:17
Speaker 3: Zach. Happy for Zach, and I hope he continues.
26:19
Speaker 4: Absolutely, But I'd rather have a one to two combo
26:21
Speaker 4: than just relying on one.
26:22
Speaker 3: Dude.
26:23
Speaker 1: They're both second round picks for a reason because they
26:25
Speaker 1: can both tolte the pill and they're good at running
26:26
Speaker 1: the ball. So they compliment each other because of their
26:31
Speaker 1: styles are different. Yeah, they can both Ken Walker can
26:34
Speaker 1: also operate in a system when they're pinning and pulling
26:37
Speaker 1: and they're.
26:37
Speaker 3: Doing some of the stuff we saw last week.
26:39
Speaker 1: Yeah, so let's kind of dispel that rumor that like, yeah,
26:42
Speaker 1: the only so anyway, we got love for all of them.
26:45
Speaker 1: We love for the whole room. That's what we're saying. Yeah,
26:47
Speaker 1: twenty six, twenty five nine. They can all run the pill,
26:49
Speaker 1: they can all do their thing, and they can help
26:51
Speaker 1: the Seahawks get a much needed victory. Let's tell him
26:54
Speaker 1: other and you get a done bump at the victory.
26:58
Speaker 2: After forty five waits for the snack packer, En push
27:01
Speaker 2: it down.
27:01
Speaker 3: That kick is away. If that kick is gone. Good day,
27:05
Speaker 3: ak Quinn fit gun. It's a pass to victory. On
27:09
Speaker 3: Hawk Talk once.
27:11
Speaker 1: Again, the Seahawks are facing the biggest challenge of the
27:13
Speaker 1: season this time and it will be in front of
27:14
Speaker 1: a national audience on Sunday Night football. Come on, a win,
27:19
Speaker 1: we'll bring the Seahawks step closer in an NMFC West title.
27:22
Speaker 1: I've kind of spelled it out already. Seahawks win the
27:24
Speaker 1: next three, the Rams lose. You might wrap up the
27:27
Speaker 1: division before that last game, but at the end of
27:29
Speaker 1: the day, none of that matters if you just keep
27:31
Speaker 1: winning ball games. Seahawks are in the driver's seat in
27:33
Speaker 1: the NFC West and it starts to Sunday with a
27:35
Speaker 1: very tough Packers team.
27:37
Speaker 4: Yeah, man, you gotta force jard Love to make bad decisions.
27:40
Speaker 4: He's shown he can do that. He's a young man,
27:42
Speaker 4: he's still learning the position, but he's their franchise quarterback.
27:44
Speaker 3: Again. The Greenway Packers have found their guy.
27:47
Speaker 4: He has eleven interceptions on the season, so let's make
27:50
Speaker 4: him turn the ball over and then limit the explosive plays.
27:53
Speaker 4: Green Bay is fourth in the NFL with explosive plays.
27:56
Speaker 4: That offense, you're gonna see guys motioning from left to right,
27:59
Speaker 4: release into the flag, turning it up. You're gonna see
28:01
Speaker 4: guys motion from right close to the line of scrimmers
28:04
Speaker 4: them back out. It's gonna look similar to Niners, Rams, Lions.
28:09
Speaker 4: They all have something in common. They love the style offense.
28:12
Speaker 1: And the cool thing about the way this defense is
28:15
Speaker 1: playing is we haven't seen exposive plays. We haven't. Early
28:18
Speaker 1: in the season it was run after what. We're not
28:20
Speaker 1: seeing that anymore. So that gives me confidence going into
28:23
Speaker 1: this game. And man on offense, let's run the pill.
28:26
Speaker 1: We were just talking about our guys. We have love
28:27
Speaker 1: for all of them. Twenty six nine five. All of
28:29
Speaker 1: them can do that thing they started last week. Let's
28:32
Speaker 1: build off that. I think they might have cracked the code.
28:34
Speaker 1: And then also bump, can we get can we get
28:36
Speaker 1: our guy DK involved in here?
28:37
Speaker 3: Man? Please, let's do it.
28:38
Speaker 4: We say eight hundred and twelve yards he has, yeah,
28:40
Speaker 4: give him about a buck a buck twenty in a touchdown.
28:44
Speaker 3: He's due.
28:44
Speaker 4: Man, it's been quiet, but he's made some clutch catches
28:48
Speaker 4: down the stretch man, So let's get him involved and
28:51
Speaker 4: let's keep gino up right. It looks beautiful seeing them
28:54
Speaker 4: operate from a clean pocket. No sacks show the nation.
28:58
