  Speaker 1: last twenty one games, tied for first in the NFL.
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: They're twenty three and five in their last twenty eight
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: ten am kickoffs. The Hawks are thirteen and two under
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: coach McDonald on the road. He is tied with Mike martz,
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: Sehn McVay, and Nick Sirianni for the second most road
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: wins by a head coach in their first two seasons
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: in NFL history, only trailing George Seaffert was sixteen, who
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: has more. The Hawks have now gone twenty two consecutive
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: games without allowing one hundred yard rusher. It got a
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: little close on Sunday, but still intact. Hawks now back
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: to back ten one seasons for the first time since
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: twenty nineteen and twenty twenty, they matched their win total
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: from last season. So right now, up and feeling pretty good,
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: feeling good about these guys. You went and took care
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: of business. The first half wasn't the greatest.
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: We're gonna dive into that as well, but the adjustments
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: were made, plays were made.
• 1:10
  Speaker 4: This team is ascending at the right time.
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: I mean, if ten and three, you're literally in charge
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: of what you want to do.
• 1:17
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: In terms of and I'm not just saying the NFC West,
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: I'm talking to number one overall. See in the NFC,
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: lots of football be played. I'm not getting ahead of ourselves.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: I'm just telling you what the facts are with the situation.
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: I don't want to lie to anybody. Let's jump right
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: into the game.
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: What had happened, See, what had happened was what had
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: happened at first was what had happened was on Hawk talk.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: This game was a tail of two halves. You know,
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: it's very Everyone says that, I guess, but it really was.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: Game started as defensive battle, both teams trading punts in
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: field goals.
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: Game was three to three at the end of the
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: first quarter.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: Hawks were forced a punt on the first drive of
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: second quarter, disasters strike for the Seahawks. Sam Darnold was
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: intercepted on a pass intended for Elijah Royal gets batted
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: in the air, intercepted by Mike Huges. Defense, though, would
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: step up big, shutting down the Falcons. Then Nicki min
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: Worri gets his first career block on a fifty yard
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: field goal attemph great extension.
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, and he talked about the technique. He's been
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: working on that technique. So it's nice when you practice it,
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: you know your coach you're teaching, you go out and
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: you execute it. And Evan Warre gave his coach some
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: love there. The Hawks would putting the Falcons would have
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: their best driver of the day. They went eleven play
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: sixty three yards, but we need to set a four
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: field goal. That made it six to three Atlanta. The
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: Hawks will respond with a field goal on their driver
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: of their own. The clothes off the half six to six.
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: So this is when they're going into a halftime. We're
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: doing the halftime show and we don't feel like they're
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: going to lose this ball game, but we're wondering what
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: adjustments will be made well, this is one and we're
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: not even an adjustment just to play that was made.
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: Second half Stars Forshi goes to the house one hundred
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: yards to the house.
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: That made the score thirteen to six.
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: That was his third career return for a touchdown and
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: we've been waiting for him to make a play like this.
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: It was so great.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: We talked to him on Hawks Live, I've talked him
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: around the building. Super great guy, super happy to be here,
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: and he got here. He was talking about making this
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: his home long term. So love to see it. Love
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: to see him payoff in the game plan because when
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: we get him rolling bump, this team could be dangerous.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: Special team's been doing their thing all season long. On
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: the Falcons next drive, they move the ball a little bit,
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: but DeMarcus Lawrence will force a huge fumball on Jehan
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: Robinson recovered by Devin Witherspoon. Two guys making plays all
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: year long. Hawks take advantage right away, going eight plays
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: eighty eight yards, ending with a twenty hour touchdown to
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: Jackson Smith the jigba who's back, Lads and gentlemen, not
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: that he left, but putting numbers up again.
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: We'll break that play down a little bit later. Yep.
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: That made the score twenty to six. The Seahawks will
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: force another turnover on the Falcon's next drive. You got
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: Nicki Molwarre interception. My man is Ebruary's blocking kicks interception.
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: Let's go.
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: The Hawks will get points off of that turnover with
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: a thirty seven yard field goal from Myers.
• 3:45
  Speaker 4: That made the score twenty three to six.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: Falcons are just They're not doing anything, nothing really threatening
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: this game. They go down and answer with the field goal,
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: make it twenty three to nine. And this was a
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: nail win. In the caff this was all she wrote.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: Hawks put it out of reach. Six play sixty yard
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: drive anywhe eleven yard touchdown to Cooper Cup Love to
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: see Cooper get in the action. His second touchdown with
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: the Seahawks. I mean to score thirty to nine. In
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: the hospital, continue making plays on the defensive side. Another
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: chip pass eventually intercepted by Devin Witherspoon. He said, I
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: don't even know how I caught it. A lot of commotion,
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: ball in the air. He makes a play just like
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: Spoon does.
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: Hey, sometimes you just at the right place, right time
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: and you make a play alight. So six plays after
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: that the host will find the end zone again. You
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: find JSN for a four yard touchdown, which you got
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: a big up Sam on this one moving in the pocket.
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna called scram but he's just maneuvering within the pocket,
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: gets a fit little bit, drops it over the top
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: and not an easy catch from for Josson. That's a
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: tough one, low and fast. That made the score thirty
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: seven to nine. The Falcons would turn the ball over
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: on down to the next possession and that was all
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: she wrote.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: This Seahawks team, man, I mean again, they continue to
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: show us how they're gonna win football games. You win
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: the turnover battle three to one, you outgain the Falcons,
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: you win time possession. Seahawks have not loud an offensive
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: touchdown in two games. Yes, you played against bro Smurr
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: her cousins, Say what you want about it. He's won
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: a lot of games in this football you know, in
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: this football league, and he's a good player. And he
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: couldn't find anything out with the Seahawks defense.
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: Yep, and they rushed for a buck twenty nine.
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: Sam Darnold contributed on that average about five yards per
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: carry so so far this season, the Seahawks had four
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: games where they score thirty plus points in a half.
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: The rest of the league only has six of those things,
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: so they can be explosive. It's not about how you start,
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: it's about how you finish. Ten and three sounds good.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, now that has a nice little ring to it.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: I'm hoping that, you know, fourteen thousand three, you know,
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: sounds a little bit better. Again, to get ahead myself,
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: we're talking about this game, bump, what you learn.
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: I learn that these coaches can make slight adjustments at halftime,
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: because we talked about this before, like you only to
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: give about five or six minutes with your team, right
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: the coaches are running down from the press spots, you're
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: getting in there, you're talking to your coordinators doing all
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: this stuff.
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: And the adjustments that they made into the second half,
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: I loved it.
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: They packed it in offensively, they still ran the football,
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: they went for the shorter pass. It's kind of loosen
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: things up, and now the linebackers the safeties are biting up.
• 5:57
  Speaker 4: You catch them a man, you take your shot.
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: It was almost like they were just enticing them, like, look,
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: all right, you're gonna give us a short stuff. We'll
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: take it, We'll run the ball and then we'll go
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: up top. I love the patience and the adjustment.
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: Just jumping off that too. I learned about the adjustments
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: as well.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: I'm forgetting who I heard this recently by, But when
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: you talk about good coaches, if you're not a great coach, bump,
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: you don't make adjustice. So the game's over, right, you
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: gotta look at the film on Monday, like what happened
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: to us?
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: Out there?
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: Other coaches that are average, they can make great adjustments
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: at halftime if they have the time to do it.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: Really good coaches make adjustments on the spot, on the fly,
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: and I think that's what you're seeing from this coaching staff.
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: They're able to get together and go drive by drive,
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: play by play and make adjustments because this two weeks
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: in a row where offensively things have looked hard. They
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: are not moving the football, and then the second half
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: you're like, what on earth happened? The Falcons defensive cordon
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: is probably looking up being like what what just happened?
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: We were competing now we're not. So I love what
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: we are seeing from this football team. So many people
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: making plays all over the field, playmakers, playmakers to them.
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: What time it is?
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: Oh wait, Sam Donald bump back where he belongs twenty
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: to thirty, two hundred and forty nine yards, three touchdowns,
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: one interception, QB rating of one to eleven point seven,
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: and something really cool bump that I saw from next
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: Gen Stats before right before we came in here. Donald's
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: very effective versus the man blitz. He was six of
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: eight seventy five yards in a touchdown. That's really cool
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: to see, especially after Minnesota had so much success bringing
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: pressure and obviously apples and orange is I'm not saying
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: they're all the same things, but just to see him
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: be as successful as he was with pressure you mentioned
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: on Jason's second touchdown.
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: He's playing at a high level and I think not.
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: That he ever fell off, but I love that he
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: is playing with that confidence because he is who he is,
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: because he makes tight throws and tight windos and he's
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: making plays.
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah exactly, it's his interception. Almost don't even fault to
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: him for that. It was a bad throw. But he
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: has to be confident enough to make those type of
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: throws if this team wants to win these ballgames. Because
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: you're not wide open, You're hardly a wide opening in
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: the NFL. I think the Packers had a play last
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: night where big it was a bow, mountain was wide
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: of behind the defense. Doesn't happen often, so Sam, you
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: keep doing your thing. Next up, we got JSN seven receptions,
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: eighty two yards and two touchdowns. He passed dk Metcalf
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: for first place for most receiving yards in the players
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: first three seasons in franchise history.
• 8:12
  Speaker 4: He has three and eighty six.
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: He passed Bobby Ingram and Jimmy Graham for tenth plays
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: on Seattle's all time receiving touchdowns list with nineteen. He
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: passed Darryl Jackson for a fifth place for the most
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: receiving touchdowns in the players first receivings in franchise history.
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: With nineteen, JSN.
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: Has a eighty nine receptions for fourteen hundred yards fourteen
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: hundred and twenty eight yards and nine touchdowns this season.
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: He's a sixth player in NFL history with at least
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: eighty five receptions, fourteen hundred and nine touchdowns through a
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: players first thirteen games of a season.
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: Another typical week. It took a break, you know what.
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: It's just he didn't want us to have to read
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: up all the things he accomplished last week, right, So
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna save it for this week.
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: Save the heavy lifting, man, I mean, you run out
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: of words. We talked about him every each and every week.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: We feature a playoffs each and every week because he's special.
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: He's special.
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: And we'll get into this on the preview pod bump
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: when we were talking about the Colts, they got a
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: lot of injuries in the secondary. Yeah, if he has
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: another big game, I'm talking one fifty one sixty. We
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: were legitimately talking about Calvin Johnson's record as we close
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: in on it. So something to keep an eye peeled
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: out for Hawk fans on that. Rashid Shiheed, another receiver
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: in that room, four receptions sixty seven yards, obviously had
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: the one one hundred yard kick return long ast play
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: in the NFL this season, his third career return touchdown, and.
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: You mentioned it.
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: So great to see him get active offensively as well,
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: not just in the return game, because we know what
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: he brings in the return game. We've seen bits and
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: pieces of that, especially in his punt returns, but to
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: see him in the receiving game, he changes it. Because
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: when you have a guy with that kind of speed,
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: and then you have JSN and then you have Cooper Cup,
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: and then you have a Royo and then you have Barner.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: It makes it hard on a defense. I'll love to
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: see Shaheed doing what the Seahawks needed him to do
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: when they signed him.
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: And there's a player to where if Sam may get pressured,
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: oh that hand us up.
• 9:55
  Speaker 4: He is gone.
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: So a little bit more protection early and then we'll
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: see another big play for him.
• 10:00
  Speaker 4: I'm sure, all right.
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: Devin Witherspoon seven tackles too pass the defendive, one quarterback hit,
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: one fumbel recovery, one interception, only his second interception of
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: his career. That's amazing. You feel like he should have
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: at least four or five six of them things. But
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: he affects to what the game in different ways too.
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: Man and the energy that he plays with, I love
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: it and I'm glad he got rewarded with his activity
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: that he usually has to out again.
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: One hundred percent. I think Paul Moorey made a good point.
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: Buddha Baker is one of the top safeties in this league.
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: He's not a guy that's a high interception rate. That
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: doesn't mean he's not on the right spot. That he
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: wouldn't do it, so Devin Witherspoon. He impacts the game
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: all over the place. Coach McDonald calls him a force multiplier.
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: His energy is contagious, his playbacks it up. He'll let
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: you know about it. Everything about Spoon. Love to watch
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: seeing that secondary and speaking in the secondary.
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: You mentioned it.
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: The rookie Nicki min Wory out of South Carolina has
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: six tackles, one sack, two TFLs, one QB hit, one interception,
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: one pass defendant, one blocked field goal. He's the first
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: player in franchise history for quartersack, blockfield goal, interception in
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: the same game. You want to talk about filling up
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: the statute. There's not a lot more you could have
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: done except score touchdown. Nick Is I think I heard
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: you say it on your show today. He's the most
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: versatile player in the NFL. Is that you said he
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: is the most versatile. I didn't say he was the best.
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: He is the most versatile player in the league. You
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: can walk them down the line.
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: You can play second love with a backer and go
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: nickel slot tight end, safety, walk me out outside, man
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: up there.
• 11:24
  Speaker 4: He can play everywhere.
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: Man I watched, I was really impressed with his game
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: last night.
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's as good as you can get.
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: I mean, and I love it. It's different. And the
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: really cool thing about Nick that I love is everyone
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: always immediately wants to do a comparison Legion of Boom, right,
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: because that's when this franchise is that it's best, So
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: naturally it's an easy comparison to fall back on. I
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: just love it because all these dudes are different. Nick
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: is not Cam Chancellor, he's not Earl Thomas, He's not
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: anyone from that that era. And I love what we're
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: seeing from him because he's a new breed and he's
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: a guy that people are gonna try to emulate.
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: That's all that was happening.
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: I will say that's a comparison because that was happening
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: in Legion of Boom Richard Truman, Hey, we need to
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: find a three corners of the move. We need to
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: find a guy like Cam Chancer, which is one of one,
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: but people are gonna try. So really cool to see
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: Nick Balin.
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah, man, and Nick, keep it up, baby, keep it up.
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: I just get to this wide receiver round up. We
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: got JSM seven for ninety two two touchdowns. Rashid Shaheed
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: four for sixty seven, Cooper Cup two for thirty five,
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: and a tuddy. Aj Barner had three for twenty seven.
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: Sharvina had two for twenty, Cody had one for nine
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: on a big third down. I might add a Royo
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: nothing on a target, and Ken Walker had a reception
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: as well.
• 12:30
  Speaker 4: This looks more more like it last week.
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: That received around up was a little strange, a little
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: so yeah, but you're spreading the wealth around.
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: And the other thing about Jason, I'll say quickly, is
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: I love. We used to say this about Tyler Lockett
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: all the time. His reception to target ratio is so close.
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: It's not thirteen receptions or four receptions thirteen targets.
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: It's always very close.
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: And honestly, we've seen a lot of eighth rates nine
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: nine for tens because those dudes have a really special
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: connection going on. But we're really excited about this coming up.
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: Plays of the game, some really cool plays that we
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: saw on Sunday, starting with Rashid Shaheed taking it one
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: hundred yards to the house.
• 13:07
  Speaker 5: The usual cast of characters deep Veilis Jones and Rashid
• 13:10
  Speaker 5: Shahed Shaheed, the deeper of the two back on the
• 13:14
  Speaker 5: goal line and here comes to kick end over end.
• 13:16
  Speaker 5: Shaheed from the goal line near right side, numbers up
• 13:19
  Speaker 5: the field ten twenty looking for a gap.
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: He's got one. He's off to the races. Lookout.
• 13:24
  Speaker 6: This could be at fifty forty thirty. They're not gonna
• 13:27
  Speaker 6: touch him. Ten five. He looks back, touchdown, Seahawks.
• 13:33
  Speaker 7: What a way to start the second half. Kick the
• 13:37
  Speaker 7: ball to Rashid Shaheed and say go baby for one hundred.
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: Yards and he does.
• 13:43
  Speaker 7: The Seahawks on top. Now twelve six, had a chance
• 13:49
  Speaker 7: to put a thirteenth on the board. Shaheed grabs well football,
• 13:52
  Speaker 7: head to the sidelines, and the Seahawks just like that,
• 13:56
  Speaker 7: the big play and they take the lead.
• 14:00
  Speaker 4: So I'm looking at this from the end zone view.
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: Okay, So when I talk about the Seahawks, it's like
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: I'm on the kickoff team looking at their return team.
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: So I'm working from left to right. What the Falcons
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: try to do is what you do to get return.
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: You try to pin them in a corner. You don't
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: want to give them the middle of the field and
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: have them really manipulate what's going on. So it's kind
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: of like there's a slant going on with this kickcover team.
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: You know, the more I look at kickoff and kickoff return,
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: the more this resembles just line play in the box.
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: Now you go from left to right, left, and we'll
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: call that you're L one. He takes his guy, all right,
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: you got your L two. He takes a guy low.
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: The L three reminds me of a trap. So what
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: you're doing is you're wrapping around. You're gonna trap the one, two, three, four,
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: five six guy from the left side. Boom, surprise him.
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: We call it a hay block. Hey, you know that
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: was coming. We got you. And now you got to
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: look at just the bodies across the board, right. All
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: you want to do is give your returner a chance.
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: So the off returner was supposed to take the unblocked guy,
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: which he does all right, lights him up, and then
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: across the board you're getting bodies on bodies. I love
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: how or she cessed this up. He gives the right
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: side a chance. I'm gonna go straight because I want
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: people to gravitate towards what I'm doing. As soon as
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: my offer turner picks my guy, and now I'm just
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: searching for lanes and it parts like the Red Sea.
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: He picks up a lucky block there by nineteen Cody
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: White does a good job by not getting his hands
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: on the back of the defender there. And now you're
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: one on one with a kicker who was not made
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: for this. He was probably played soccer growing up and
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: is there to kick the football, looks scared for she's
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: too fast, and the rest is history.
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: This right here is just a great play from so
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: many different levels. And I'm gonna call out three blocks
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: and three people, specifically Brady Russell. He does a great job,
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: especially because they're right at the point of attack right there.
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: Then there's a great double team on this play. You
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: got Cali up and Mike Morris and you watch you
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: heat he runs right out there butt there, and then
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: you talked about Bobo, and you talked about Cody White.
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: Bobo.
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: First, he's got the backside, He's got like the R
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: four on the backside, and he doesn't he misses the
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: block initially, but he does just enough to run with him.
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: And a lot of people make a mistake right there
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: when they're in that trailed position of doing something and
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: you know, hitting him in the back or doing something.
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: He does just enough to not get a penalty, which
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: is great, and then Cody White does the exact same
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: thing presence of mind in that situation, because it's really hard,
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: Bump to have all those dudes blocking hat on a
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: hat on a play like this and it happens. So
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: you just hate to have something like that at the
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: end happened in the gate a touchdown that didn't happen.
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: Bobo and White do not have that happen. And then Shaheed,
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: you talked about it. You know, I think this is
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: a different player. I think it's number three or who
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: is that number seventeen on the Falcons kickoff team. He
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: might make this play if Shheat is not as fast
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: as he is. Right, he gets to a point where
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: he thinks like, oh, especially the end zone, He's like, oh,
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: I might make this play, and then happens so fast
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: and he's like, oh, what happened to my angle? Rashiet
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: is gone yep, and then no one in this locker
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: room will let him live it down with the kicker,
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: and he just put his thing on and gosh, speed
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: kills Bump in this league. You cannot teach that. He
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: looks like he's gliding, but he's going away from people
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: right people are they're running. You can tell when they're running,
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: their breathing hard as hard as they can. No, you
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: can't get some to Shaheed Man. So love what we're
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: seeing from Jay harboss team on special teams and she
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: Rashid Shahed getting it done there as well our next play.
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: I mean, he's always gonna be a part of this
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: bump because he continues to make plays. Sam Darnald finds
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: Jackson Smith and Jigba for a twenty eight yard touchdown.
• 17:27
  Speaker 5: Donald four for four on this drive for fifty two yards.
• 17:29
  Speaker 5: Walker stays in the backfield wideouts to both sides, Cooper
• 17:33
  Speaker 5: Cup to the far side, JSN to the near side.
• 17:37
  Speaker 5: Play fake Blitz is coming, throw inside on the slant.
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: It's caught.
• 17:40
  Speaker 6: JSN break the tackle. He's gonna go in touchdown Seahawks
• 17:46
  Speaker 6: from twenty eight outs, no flags. A Falcon stays down
• 17:51
  Speaker 6: back near the line of scrimmage, but the offense for
• 17:54
  Speaker 6: Seattle runs to the end zone to congratulate Jackson Smith
• 17:58
  Speaker 6: and Jigba. Another touchdown reception for him on this season.
• 18:03
  Speaker 6: JSN now his eighth touchdown catch and the Seahawks with
• 18:08
  Speaker 6: that career high in touchdown reception for JSN take a
• 18:12
  Speaker 6: nineteen to six lead over the Falcons.
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I love this here. I think that this is
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: the mind games that Kubiak plays with folks. Right, look,
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna I'm gonna come out here with a tight end.
• 18:22
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: We're gonna be an eleven personnel tied into the right side.
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: Believe that is that Calior up. That's Calor up to
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: the right side. He's gonna motion in the backfield.
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: I don't know what the Falcons would do personnel wise
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: if they broke the huddle with a full back, but
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: I'm assuming that there's some type of mismatch out there
• 18:38
  Speaker 3: that Kubiak like. That's why you do things like this here,
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: all right, So now let's look at just the receivers
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: to start. We're gonna start at the left side, our
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: left side. We got clear man on Cooper Cup there. Okay,
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: if he wants to go to the left side, he
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: can go to the left side. Cooper Cup getting out
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: of his break, creating some space. All right, Let's work
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: over to to the insight, to the slot.
• 18:54
  Speaker 4: We've got slide.
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: We have Rashid Shahi putting pressure on that safety right now,
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: inside release deep cross. This team runs the best deep
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: crosses in all of football. They are deep cross masters.
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: So now we're down at the bottom looking at Jasin.
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: Jason stumps a little bit inside release and he's just
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: running then in breaking rounde a dig, a dagger bang,
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: whatever you want to call it. All right, what I
• 19:12
  Speaker 3: like about this is that Sam Donald has to anticipate
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: this throw. He throws it before he crosses that second
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: level defender number three right there, who is a safety. Okay,
• 19:23
  Speaker 3: And if I'm in the backfield, I'm looking at the
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: way this safety is creeping up and I'm expecting blitz.
• 19:27
  Speaker 3: Safety walks up to that back into the box like that,
• 19:29
  Speaker 3: and linebacker's going to go. We see that fullback does
• 19:32
  Speaker 3: a great job picking that up, so now he drops.
• 19:34
  Speaker 4: He's reading the eyes of Sam Donald.
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: Sam Donald anticipates the throw, gets it to Jayssin the
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: speed of Rashisha. He does just enough to hold that
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: safety to create that winner. They's throwing it as well.
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: On the other side, you have Cooper cup a one
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: on one matchup. He's in man, He's pulling the fenders
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: with him. So now let's talk about the effort of
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: this corner right here. This dB goodness, gracious man, I'm
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: glad you didn't go all out and give us full effort.
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: But that was a bit too easy for Jason to
• 19:57
  Speaker 3: break that tackle. So now I want to look at
• 19:59
  Speaker 3: what's going on in the box. Like I mentioned, fifty
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: five is gonna blitz. Guess who picks him up? Boom,
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: your full back slash tight end who can do it all.
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: And then also look at his bam knocks him to
• 20:09
  Speaker 3: the ground and we're sotted across the line of scrimmage.
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: You have Ola who comes and helps with the one
• 20:13
  Speaker 3: tech there. Then he slightly sees he sees that linebacker coming.
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: Linebacker goes on a little stunt, don't matter.
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 20:20
  Speaker 3: K nine is gonna pick him up because he's like
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: in a man type deal, so yes to go after him.
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: It was just controlled chaos is what's going on in
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: this box right here? All right, get the full back
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: picking up, you got Olu helping out, and then the
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: man coverage on K nine draws another another defender with
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: him just well executed.
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: No, I love it, and I think with this, especially
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: Sam Donald, this offense, Kubiak, if you're going to bring
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: man pressure, you better get home, right because if you
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: do not get home, Sam Donald company will make you pay.
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: You love the motion to kind of see where they're
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: in Boom. The safeties are talking to each other. Once
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: Caliber comes back, number of Bates is like, that's my
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: guy right there. Cali Rup does not release on a route.
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: He blocks, that's his responsibility. So he goes, Okay, I'm
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: just gonna look for some help. If you're a coach,
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: point I'd say, probably try to get a little bit
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: more depth. If you know eleven is to your side,
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: he doesn't. Jason runs behind him and the safety he's
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: got a tough angle. That's a tough play to make
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: from that depth. Again with Jason running away from you,
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: and then I'll just say again, not finishing the play
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: from both of them, whether it's the corner of safety,
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: don't get that's that's the best receiver in the National
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: Football League right there. Again, you're gonna need to do
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: a little bit better when you're trying to bring him down.
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: But again, just taking advantage of what people do. They
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: brought a lot of pressure. I'll say it again, if
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: you do not get home against this team, they will
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: make you pay. Every single time, great protection. This team's rolling, bump, rolling.
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: Love what we're seeing because we can stay in victory
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: formation all season long.
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: Baby, for.
• 21:40
  Speaker 7: Here comes the Seahawks offense onto the field and the
• 21:43
  Speaker 7: Vikings defense trutching out there knowing that one kneel down
• 21:49
  Speaker 7: and the Seahawks are gonna wine the clock down and
• 21:51
  Speaker 7: win this one.
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: It's the victory formation on Hawk Talk. Like we said,
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: it was a tail two halves.
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: See how dominated the second half, domination him thirty one
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: to three in that second half, fourth game of season
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: where Yaks were thirty plus points in a half, The
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: rest of the league, as you said earlier, combined for
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: just six of those, which is insane. This team, when
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: they turn it up they want to score. It can
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: get real tough. Sam Darnold slow start, but did damage
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: in the second half, throwing three touchdowns.
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: Yep and Jason had a nice bounce back game two touchdowns,
• 22:19
  Speaker 3: a little short of one hundred yards, but that's all good.
• 22:21
  Speaker 3: Rashi did his thing as well, had one hundred yard
• 22:23
  Speaker 3: kickoff return as we broke down and look at us,
• 22:25
  Speaker 3: had sixty something yards throughout the air, and then the
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: young It's like the new era of.
• 22:30
  Speaker 4: These young dudes.
• 22:31
  Speaker 7: Right.
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: No, Reek is a little older, I guess in these guys,
• 22:33
  Speaker 3: but he still feels young. He got Nicki mcwire, Reek Walling.
• 22:36
  Speaker 3: We're all problems for these dudes. Man m Mawari had
• 22:40
  Speaker 3: his best game as a pro by form. He did
• 22:42
  Speaker 3: something no other Seahawk has ever done before. He filled
• 22:46
  Speaker 3: up that stat shee with a sack, interception, block kick
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: TfL so much more than Spoon with a fun recovery
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: and an interception.
• 22:53
  Speaker 4: This is I'm feeling good about this defense, oh.
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: No question about it. And you added Julian Love and
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: even mentioned it right. Good to see him. I want
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: to say he played twenty some snaps it last game
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: and he's gonna I think that number might jump to
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: one hundred because Julian Love was the guy that never
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: came off the field for this defense. So now when
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: you have all of them and what you can do
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: in the secondary, good luck. This is gonna get fun defensively.
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: And again I've said this multiple times, but it's true.
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: It is what it is.
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: This team is dangerous because they can win in different ways. Okay,
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: they could dominate you offensively and when offensive struggling the defense. Hey,
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: we got your back, hold them down in the first half,
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: and guess what we need a big plan. Special teams,
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: bam block kick were turned touchdown. I mean East offense
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: five straight possessions with a touchdown, special teams. This team
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: is doing it all man, and now we're here at
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: Seahawk fans, We've been waiting for this stretch run for
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: a long time.
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: We are here.
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: Colts, Rams, Panthers, Niners, Okay, all teams winning records, all
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: teams that are expecting to be in the playoffs.
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: The Seahawks expect to be there as well.
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: They've deserved, they've earned, as Mike McDonald's, the right to
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: expect to win, and we get to see it each
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: and every week.
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: I'm excited about what this week will look like.
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: The Colts don't have Daniel Jones towards Achilles and we'll
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: see about right the injury.
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: It is going to be an interesting week. And that
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: is hurt quarterbacks not good for this defense. Luck to you.
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: We'll break all that down on Thursday. He's Michael Obamas,
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: some NASA trobe. The Seahawks get it done this weekend,
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: beating the Falcons thirty seven and nine.
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: This has been Hawk Talk
