0:34
Speaker 1: to Hawk Talk Recap edition. The Hawks get it done
0:37
Speaker 1: at home fifty one to twenty nine, defeating the Detroit
0:40
Speaker 1: Lions on their last home game of the season. Great
0:43
Speaker 1: performance by the offense and the defense. Let's bring in
0:45
Speaker 1: Nasa Choby and figured out what happened. See what happened
0:48
Speaker 1: at first look what had happened was on Hawk Talk
0:54
Speaker 1: You said it, but man, it was an absolutely dominating
0:57
Speaker 1: performance by this Seahawks team, whooping the lines twenty nine
1:01
Speaker 1: at Lutman Field, and the offense was rolling the first
1:04
Speaker 1: time we've seen it really all season, with the exception
1:06
Speaker 1: of the Colts game. From start to finish, the Seahawks
1:09
Speaker 1: dominated the Lions. They scored fifty points in a game
1:12
Speaker 1: for the first time since December sixteenth of twenty twelve,
1:15
Speaker 1: where they beat the Bills fifty to seventeen in Toronto
1:18
Speaker 1: the week before that year. That was Russell's rookie year
1:20
Speaker 1: when the Seahawks really got fire. They also beat the
1:23
Speaker 1: Cardinals fifty eight to zero back in twenty twelve. Also,
1:26
Speaker 1: this win was Pete Carroll's one hundred and sixty second win.
1:29
Speaker 1: He passed Bill Cower for sole possession of nineteenth place
1:33
Speaker 1: in the NFL's all time coaches win list, which is
1:36
Speaker 1: a incredible feat for coach Pete Carroll and man. The
1:40
Speaker 1: Seahawks started the game with a three and out and
1:42
Speaker 1: a Michael Dixon punt, and of course a lot of
1:44
Speaker 1: people were probably like, oh, here we go again. Man,
1:47
Speaker 1: we wouldn't see that boy, Michael Dixon for the rest
1:50
Speaker 1: of the game. The Seahawks score on the next nine drives.
1:54
Speaker 1: At one point, they scored touchdowns on five consecutive drives.
1:57
Speaker 1: They won time possession for just the second time all season,
2:01
Speaker 1: thirty three thirty three to twenty six twenty seven. Seahawks
2:04
Speaker 1: were actually great on third down, which has been a change,
2:06
Speaker 1: went seven of twelve. They also ran seventy one place,
2:10
Speaker 1: which is a season high. The Seahawks had only had
2:12
Speaker 1: two other games all season where they ran more than
2:15
Speaker 1: sixty plays, racked up four hundred and ninety seven yards
2:17
Speaker 1: the total offense averaging seven yards per play, and bump
2:21
Speaker 1: this offense, what'd you see from them that was different
2:23
Speaker 1: than we'd seen all year? Why were they outside the
2:26
Speaker 1: fact that the choice not a very good team. We
2:27
Speaker 1: know that that's factual, but the Seahawks have also struggled
2:30
Speaker 1: against other teams that weren't as great. So why were
2:32
Speaker 1: they able to put it together yesterday? And it all
2:35
Speaker 1: started with brisk shot penny Man. He got things going.
2:37
Speaker 1: Man two early touchdowns and a lot of explosive runs.
2:40
Speaker 1: On one drive, he had a run of fifteen yards,
2:42
Speaker 1: another run of twenty I believe as longest run of
2:44
Speaker 1: the day was about thirty yards, and basically him running
2:49
Speaker 1: the ball well opened up. Everything goes right going into
2:52
Speaker 1: the half. The Hawks have our thirty one to seven
2:55
Speaker 1: league and they would extend it to thirty eight to
2:57
Speaker 1: seven after DJ read intercepts the very first place in
2:59
Speaker 1: the second half. Then they go up top to DJ.
3:02
Speaker 1: Another excuse me, DK, another reason why this team was explosive.
3:06
Speaker 1: DK got involved. You mentioned Michael Dixon, punny one time.
3:09
Speaker 1: Have a seat's son sit there, stay warm, do what
3:12
Speaker 1: you gotta do because you are not seeing the field.
3:14
Speaker 1: That as a great feeling. Defensively, the Seahawks, we're facing
3:17
Speaker 1: backup quarterback Tim Boyle, so that helped. He played okay,
3:19
Speaker 1: but he also had three interceptions. That's not gonna get
3:22
Speaker 1: it done against his defense. The only thing the Lions
3:25
Speaker 1: were able to do consistently a Monros saying Brown, this
3:28
Speaker 1: dude had himself a day eight receptions, one hundred and
3:30
Speaker 1: eleven yards, one touchdown. He also had two carries for
3:32
Speaker 1: twenty three yards and a touchdown. But we lost our
3:37
Speaker 1: best defensive player. Now's that one kind of shook me
3:39
Speaker 1: up a little bit. You get an, no question about it. Man,
3:41
Speaker 1: when you see Bobby Wagner go down for a guy
3:43
Speaker 1: who this year has played one hundred percent of the snaps.
3:47
Speaker 1: I think there might have been one play or the
3:49
Speaker 1: last couple of years where Bobby he's come out of
3:50
Speaker 1: the game. So when you see a guy who's that
3:52
Speaker 1: consistent and on the field for that amount of plays.
3:55
Speaker 1: It's crazy to see him go down, especially when first
3:57
Speaker 1: play the game, they're running a little screen. Bobby was
4:00
Speaker 1: running downhill and he got kind of pushing the back
4:02
Speaker 1: and he just felt weird, almost did the splits. He
4:05
Speaker 1: kind of got shook up. Pete Carroll this morning on
4:07
Speaker 1: his radio show mentioned that it's not as serious as
4:11
Speaker 1: they had thought and initially, but that we don't know
4:13
Speaker 1: about his status for the season finale in week eighteen.
4:17
Speaker 1: But so Bobby at this point, we're so waiting to
4:19
Speaker 1: hear a prodignosis from him, but he's just a fighter man.
4:22
Speaker 1: He tried to go back in the game right away.
4:24
Speaker 1: He was down for a little bit, went to the sideline,
4:26
Speaker 1: ran back out, and the pitcher was like, no, you
4:28
Speaker 1: know you can't. If we called time out for an
4:30
Speaker 1: injured player, you can't come back the next play. So
4:32
Speaker 1: he went to the sideline. I think in that amount
4:34
Speaker 1: of time, the coaching stack got together and was like, hey,
4:37
Speaker 1: we should probably hold him out, send him to the
4:39
Speaker 1: locker room. And Bobby did not return. So really hoping
4:42
Speaker 1: that Bobby can come back and finish this year out strong.
4:45
Speaker 1: He's just been so consistent, you know, another time as
4:47
Speaker 1: a pro bowler, So hopefully he can heal up and
4:49
Speaker 1: be back out there. But because if Bobby was out,
4:52
Speaker 1: Cody Barton man, he made the most of his opportunity,
4:54
Speaker 1: playing the rest of the game and making an impact.
4:56
Speaker 1: And I just want to shout out the young guys, man.
4:59
Speaker 1: The young guys all cross the board showed up and
5:01
Speaker 1: showed out. I feel like Cody Barton and Jordy Brooks
5:04
Speaker 1: were playing fast, downhill, physical style on defense. Obviously you
5:08
Speaker 1: mentioned Chad Penny ud Estro just trying to get in
5:11
Speaker 1: the mix a little bit. DJ Reid was playing well.
5:13
Speaker 1: Googamadi had his first pick. So I'd like to see
5:16
Speaker 1: the youth movement. Obviously, the Seahawks are not where we
5:18
Speaker 1: thought they would be at the beginning of the season,
5:20
Speaker 1: but it was good to see some of those younger
5:22
Speaker 1: guys get in there, step up and play well. Jake
5:24
Speaker 1: Kerrhan got to start again for Brandon Schell. He played
5:26
Speaker 1: well in that running game. So a lot of good
5:28
Speaker 1: things to see from the Seahawks on Sunday. Youngsters gotta done.
5:32
Speaker 1: The old hands did what they were supposed to do.
5:34
Speaker 1: Let's get into who made some plays. Playmakers, playmakers, playmakers
5:50
Speaker 1: gotta starve with Russell Wilson before the game, nas I said,
5:53
Speaker 1: I need three hundred yards and three touchdowns. What do
5:55
Speaker 1: you do? He gave me two thirty six and four
5:58
Speaker 1: to touchdowns. He was twenty twenty nine, two thirty six,
6:00
Speaker 1: four touchdowns. With yesterday's win, Russell Wilson tied Payt Manning
6:04
Speaker 1: as the winningest quarterback and the players first ten seasons
6:07
Speaker 1: including the postseason. That's one hundred and twelve wins. Russell
6:11
Speaker 1: also tied Dan Reynold and Peyton Manning for the most
6:13
Speaker 1: games with at least four touchdown passes and a players
6:16
Speaker 1: first ten seasons that's seventeen. This was the type of
6:20
Speaker 1: performance we've been waiting on all year. I felt like
6:22
Speaker 1: it's the the culmination of just a tough season. We
6:25
Speaker 1: need one more game, but we needed to see this
6:28
Speaker 1: one to show people that are Russell Wilson still got it.
6:30
Speaker 1: All you guys out there saying he's done, get rid
6:32
Speaker 1: of them all this and that you're crazy, These are
6:35
Speaker 1: the type of things to expect when you have a
6:36
Speaker 1: healthy Russell Wilson with all his weapons around him. He
6:39
Speaker 1: looked in control. He looked like he was having fun too, man,
6:42
Speaker 1: And that's the main thing Russell's. Part of Russell's game
6:45
Speaker 1: is going out there executing, having fun and just being
6:48
Speaker 1: a good teammate. I think we saw all of that yesterday. Yeah,
6:51
Speaker 1: no question about it. You mentioned, Yeah, he was having
6:52
Speaker 1: a great time. You could tell DK was having a
6:54
Speaker 1: great time. It's almost like the energy was contagious, you know,
6:57
Speaker 1: when DK's catching those touchdowns. We're talking about him in
6:59
Speaker 1: a second, when Tyre Lockets getting involved in ri Shad Penny.
7:02
Speaker 1: I mean, so the energy offensively, it just felt it
7:05
Speaker 1: was contagious across the board. And its great to see
7:07
Speaker 1: Russell ball out. You know, he struggled at times this year.
7:10
Speaker 1: I know a lot of that, you know, whether it's
7:11
Speaker 1: been weather, the finger not playing, there's been a lot
7:14
Speaker 1: of adversity that he's had to tackle this year, probably
7:16
Speaker 1: the most in his football career over the last decade.
7:19
Speaker 1: So good to see him and the home season with
7:22
Speaker 1: a great game in those four touchdowns. But a guy
7:24
Speaker 1: we talked about already, a guy we've been talking about
7:26
Speaker 1: for the last month, a guy who is making a
7:30
Speaker 1: permanent place and playmakers with shot Penny twenty five carries,
7:34
Speaker 1: one hundred and seventy yards, two touchdowns, career highs and
7:37
Speaker 1: carries and in yards. And the cool thing about that is,
7:40
Speaker 1: we've been we've been saying that week after week after week.
7:42
Speaker 1: So he's building every week. He's doing a little bit more,
7:44
Speaker 1: a little bit more, a little bit more. Penny had
7:47
Speaker 1: one hundred and forty four rushing yards at halftime. That's
7:50
Speaker 1: the most rushing yards in the first half in Seahawks history.
7:53
Speaker 1: History of the franchise is going back to seventy six.
7:55
Speaker 1: So the crazy thing about that is is, you know,
7:57
Speaker 1: people say, we'll bump you're playing the Lions. Well, you
8:00
Speaker 1: tell me the Seahawks haven't played a bad team in
8:02
Speaker 1: the history of their franchise. No one had one hundred
8:04
Speaker 1: forty four rushing yards at half time. That's including the greats.
8:06
Speaker 1: That's Kurt Warner, that's Sewn Alexander, that's Marshawn Lynch. So Penny,
8:10
Speaker 1: once you start setting records like that, that's amazing to see.
8:14
Speaker 1: He's had one hundred yards rushing in three of his
8:16
Speaker 1: last four games. The last four games, sixty nine carries,
8:19
Speaker 1: four hundred and eighty one yards, five touchdowns. He's making
8:23
Speaker 1: an interesting bump man. He's making it. He's a guy
8:26
Speaker 1: that you want to see more of. It's a shame
8:28
Speaker 1: that he didn't get going to the supporting the year,
8:30
Speaker 1: but his body's feeling healthy. He's running with confidence. He's
8:33
Speaker 1: wonn with swag. He's running through arm tackles, He's making
8:35
Speaker 1: guys move and his cuts were just on point. He
8:38
Speaker 1: was setting corners up boom, putting the ground north south,
8:41
Speaker 1: then get outside. He used my speed. So everything with
8:43
Speaker 1: Shot Penny's doing is unbelievable and love to see it.
8:46
Speaker 1: He is officially leading the team in rushing yards five
8:49
Speaker 1: hundred fifty nine and five touchdowns. Happy for that young man.
8:53
Speaker 1: Let's see what he does to finish the season and
8:55
Speaker 1: then with the Hawks do with him during the off season.
8:58
Speaker 1: Another playmaker, d K Meant have six receptions sixty three
9:01
Speaker 1: yards and three touchdowns. He's having one of the best starts,
9:05
Speaker 1: the best start to a receiver's career in Seattle. This
9:10
Speaker 1: guy he passed Joey Galloway for the most receiving yards
9:12
Speaker 1: in the player's first three seasons in Seattle history. He
9:14
Speaker 1: has three thousand, one hundred and twelve met have also
9:17
Speaker 1: set a single season career high in touchdowns with twelve.
9:20
Speaker 1: He has three of those things on Sunday. We're not
9:24
Speaker 1: getting the yards the past few games that we'd like
9:26
Speaker 1: to see out of DK, But um, I will take
9:28
Speaker 1: touchdowns all day and you put up three. I bet
9:31
Speaker 1: you DK will take sixty yards three touchdowns every game
9:34
Speaker 1: if you say, that's what you're gonna get. And it's
9:35
Speaker 1: all about scoring the football. That's what DK has been doing.
9:38
Speaker 1: Him and Russell. I've shown that chemistry that we're used
9:42
Speaker 1: to seeing in the past years with these two. Yeah,
9:44
Speaker 1: I love to see it too. Because I was listening
9:46
Speaker 1: back to the broadcast feed and it was Gus Johnson
9:48
Speaker 1: and keeps the league, which actually, like I think a
9:51
Speaker 1: KEEP is growing a little bit. As a broadcaster, it's different,
9:53
Speaker 1: and obviously Gus Johnson's is one of the goats out there.
9:56
Speaker 1: But they were talking about it because all the narrative nationally,
9:58
Speaker 1: he's like, oh, there's something wrong with these two. I
10:00
Speaker 1: don't know if their chemistry is great. And then boom,
10:02
Speaker 1: next play, touchdown, touchdown, touchdown, and you see DK smiling
10:05
Speaker 1: on the sideline. So all is good in Seahawk Land
10:08
Speaker 1: between those two which is great to see another playmaker,
10:10
Speaker 1: another person who was making his name known in this segment. Playmakers,
10:15
Speaker 1: it's every week, week in, week out. Jordan Brooks send tackles. Yesterday,
10:19
Speaker 1: he passed Bobby Wagner for third place on Seattle's single
10:23
Speaker 1: season most tackles list with one sixty four. Bobby did
10:26
Speaker 1: one sixty three and twenty nineteen. Now and he's right
10:29
Speaker 1: behind Bobby, And if Bobby doesn't play now, Jordan is
10:32
Speaker 1: chasing him, trying to get the league lead and tackles.
10:34
Speaker 1: You know, it's his eighth straight game with double digit tackles,
10:37
Speaker 1: first player since Zach Thomas did that in two thousand
10:39
Speaker 1: and four with the Dolphins. And Zach Thomas was a
10:42
Speaker 1: baller back in the day. So Jordan Brooks, man, I've
10:45
Speaker 1: been sitting it all season. You know, this organization has
10:49
Speaker 1: gotten so much flak for not drafting well in the
10:51
Speaker 1: first and second rounds. Well, we're starting to see something
10:54
Speaker 1: because Jordan Brooks is showing why he was a first
10:56
Speaker 1: round pick and Rashad Penny is finally showing why he
11:00
Speaker 1: was taken in the first round. Everyone has seen that.
11:02
Speaker 1: I remember Detroit was one of the teams that tried
11:04
Speaker 1: to call and trade for Rashott Penny right after he
11:07
Speaker 1: was drafted, so other people solve the greatness in him,
11:09
Speaker 1: you know, it's just it's unfortunate has taken as long
11:12
Speaker 1: for the whole world to see it. But love to
11:14
Speaker 1: see young dudes balling out. Dave Brooks, can we call
11:16
Speaker 1: him that now? I mean he's older now, right, he
11:18
Speaker 1: can get the Jackson Brooks out there, getting there done.
11:22
Speaker 1: Let's go to the secondary man. Dj Reid had eight tackles,
11:25
Speaker 1: three passes defended in two interceptions. All year, this secondary
11:29
Speaker 1: has struggled to turn the ball over. All the interceptions
11:31
Speaker 1: have come from digs. Jamal had a couple, Bobby Wagner
11:35
Speaker 1: had one. We're looking at the corners. Until today's game,
11:37
Speaker 1: the corners had no interception. Dj Read gets too, Ugo
11:41
Speaker 1: Almighty gets one as well. Should have scored, but fund
11:43
Speaker 1: with that football doesn't matter. Nice to see dj Read
11:46
Speaker 1: after missing a week, come back and be effective, be
11:50
Speaker 1: around the football, tip the ball up to himself, be
11:52
Speaker 1: at the right place at the right time. That's all
11:54
Speaker 1: about film study. When you're the right place at the
11:56
Speaker 1: right time, and then just making the play. A lot
11:58
Speaker 1: of guys when it's time to make up. Something happens,
12:01
Speaker 1: they don't come through. Yesterday DJ Reid showed up and
12:04
Speaker 1: showed out. Yeah, I love to see it. DJ Reid
12:06
Speaker 1: has been a playmaker from the day he showed up
12:08
Speaker 1: in Seattle. A great acquisition by John Snyder in company,
12:12
Speaker 1: especially getting him from San Francisco when the Niners had
12:15
Speaker 1: essentially gave up on him. He obviously comes in here,
12:17
Speaker 1: makes his way into the starting lineup, and just a
12:19
Speaker 1: quick shout out to the secondary as a whole. When
12:22
Speaker 1: we look back to training camp, we had a lot
12:24
Speaker 1: of questions about the secondary. Right, we were talking about
12:27
Speaker 1: Trey Flowers, Kello Witherspoon. Right, we're talking about DJ Reid.
12:32
Speaker 1: We drafted this kid named Trey Brown, and then you
12:34
Speaker 1: fast forward to now Trey Flowers love him no longer
12:37
Speaker 1: on this football team, and Kelly Witherspoon did not make
12:40
Speaker 1: the ball club. Then throughout the year, then you Trey
12:43
Speaker 1: Brown gets to the point where he's a starter and contributing.
12:46
Speaker 1: He gets hurt, he goes down. George DJ Reid's obviously
12:49
Speaker 1: dealt with some injuries. The Covid the Sydney Jones steps
12:52
Speaker 1: up and we lose Sidney Jones last week, Less Austin
12:55
Speaker 1: steps up, he gets in there, we lose him off
12:57
Speaker 1: the COVID. Then you have Michael Jackson off the actor squad,
13:00
Speaker 1: who doesn't find out till Saturday night. They hey, you're
13:02
Speaker 1: gonna play, and all of a sudden boom, he's in
13:04
Speaker 1: the game and playing and making plays. So obviously, the
13:08
Speaker 1: Seahawks are great in talent acquisition at that cornerback position,
13:12
Speaker 1: and I just want to give a shout out to
13:13
Speaker 1: them because they've gotten so much heat for this entire season.
13:16
Speaker 1: When we were giving up a lot of yards in
13:17
Speaker 1: the passing game, they weren't getting interception. So great to
13:20
Speaker 1: see that unit stick together with all the adversity they've
13:23
Speaker 1: battled through this year. So good on, good on that
13:25
Speaker 1: secondary bump. Secondary, Big ups to you. Let's highlight another
13:29
Speaker 1: young star and making hopefully Cody Barton Man. He stepped
13:32
Speaker 1: up Whenoby was hurting the first quarter, ended up with
13:34
Speaker 1: seven tackles, one tackle for loss, one quarterback hit, and
13:37
Speaker 1: one pass defended. He is the perfect example of learning
13:42
Speaker 1: multiple positions. Right when I came into the league, I
13:44
Speaker 1: focused on the slot. Then as you get comfortable, then
13:47
Speaker 1: you work at the Z. Then the eggs, you try
13:49
Speaker 1: to expand what you're doing. Cody Barton came in the
13:51
Speaker 1: league and in his first training cap he understood all
13:54
Speaker 1: three positions, got some run early, kind of fills it
13:58
Speaker 1: out a little bit. Your draft Jordan Brooks, move guys around,
14:00
Speaker 1: use him as a backup primarily on special teams. But
14:04
Speaker 1: moments like this is why you have to be locked
14:06
Speaker 1: in at all times. Cody stepped in for Bobby Wagner
14:09
Speaker 1: and I'm not gonna say the defense didn't skip a
14:11
Speaker 1: beat because you're losing a future Hall of Famer, but
14:14
Speaker 1: Cody was still making plays. I didn't see any any
14:17
Speaker 1: big plays on that second level and think, okay, what's
14:19
Speaker 1: fifty seven doing? Man? Cody did exactly what he was
14:22
Speaker 1: supposed to do. Happy for him taking advantage of this situation. Absolutely.
14:26
Speaker 1: Cody due out of utaw him, Marquis Player came in
14:29
Speaker 1: together a couple of years ago, and it's hard to
14:31
Speaker 1: learn all the positions, man. And it's also hard, you know,
14:33
Speaker 1: people always talk about the backup quarterback because you got
14:36
Speaker 1: to prepare like you're gonna play every week, but a
14:38
Speaker 1: lot of other positions have to do that too. And
14:40
Speaker 1: with the my climback position. That the responsibility you carry
14:44
Speaker 1: calling the plays, being the quarterback of that defense, and
14:47
Speaker 1: playing behind a guy who not only doesn't miss games,
14:50
Speaker 1: doesn't miss snaps at all. So for Cody Barton to
14:53
Speaker 1: stay ready each and every week, knowing that he's probably
14:56
Speaker 1: not gonna play it down on defense, for him to
14:58
Speaker 1: be ready, get his opportun you get in the game,
15:00
Speaker 1: play downhill football in your face, smash mouth right away.
15:03
Speaker 1: It was great to see, bump, awesome to see. All right,
15:07
Speaker 1: let's talk about these receivers. Wide receiver round up. Freddy
15:12
Speaker 1: Swain had two catches for sixty five eight long of
15:14
Speaker 1: fifty eight. All Freddy does his catch, the goal ball,
15:17
Speaker 1: the long ball, the big play. That's what he did.
15:20
Speaker 1: Dk Metcalf had six catches for sixty three yards, but
15:23
Speaker 1: three touchdowns. Half of this catches were touchdowns. Jerald Everd
15:27
Speaker 1: had three for thirty six a couple big first downs.
15:29
Speaker 1: Tyler Lockett had three for twenty four. He set a
15:32
Speaker 1: career high when it comes to receiving yards in a
15:35
Speaker 1: season where Shot Penny had two for fifteen. Kobe Parkinson
15:38
Speaker 1: had one for twelve this league, one for a d
15:40
Speaker 1: asks one for seven, and penny Hart had one for six. Altogether,
15:45
Speaker 1: this group had twenty catches two hundred and thirty six yards.
15:48
Speaker 1: Good day for the guys catching the football. All Right,
15:51
Speaker 1: we're gonna go to the coaches quarter. We're gonna break down.
15:53
Speaker 1: DK medcast thirteen yard touchdown, one of his three touchdowns
15:57
Speaker 1: of the day. What's coming to throw up over the
15:59
Speaker 1: top came in touch down Seahawks. The protection wasn't perfect
16:06
Speaker 1: because the blitz was coming, but Russ just backed up
16:09
Speaker 1: and laid a little tear drop over the top and
16:12
Speaker 1: DK Metcalf was right there to catch it, a thirteen
16:16
Speaker 1: yard touchdown reception. And it is great to see Metcalf
16:20
Speaker 1: back in the end zone again. And the Seahawks now
16:24
Speaker 1: lead twenty three to seven. And I love when a
16:26
Speaker 1: nice cover zero as a receiver, especially down on what
16:30
Speaker 1: the thirteen yard line. What happens is you got three
16:33
Speaker 1: receivers to the left of Russell Wilson. The number two
16:35
Speaker 1: and number three receiver are kind of stacked. They're close
16:37
Speaker 1: to the tackle. Russell motions DK in then if they
16:42
Speaker 1: form like a tight bunch formation. If you look at
16:44
Speaker 1: the box, you got four d lineman and then three
16:47
Speaker 1: guys blitzing on the second level. There's only six guys
16:50
Speaker 1: a block seven, so somebody's gonna come free. But what
16:53
Speaker 1: that means is you're one on one everywhere. You got
16:55
Speaker 1: d s Gudu hits the flat Tyler Locke who hits
16:58
Speaker 1: the corner. And what DK does is, I believe B.
17:02
Speaker 1: Wallas called it a nod round, right, you're looking to
17:04
Speaker 1: see if it's cover zero. If it's zero, you got
17:06
Speaker 1: one on one going across the field. Instead of running
17:08
Speaker 1: a shallow cross, he snaps it up and gets vertical,
17:11
Speaker 1: kind of looks like a slanting goal. What Russell does
17:14
Speaker 1: is he just throws it to a spot. I don't
17:16
Speaker 1: even think DK's in his break yet before he starts
17:18
Speaker 1: his throwing motion, but he knows. Look, he's gonna see
17:21
Speaker 1: the adjustment and get there. That's exactly what DK does.
17:24
Speaker 1: Russ throws it up top. Talk about chemistry. If these
17:27
Speaker 1: dudes didn't have chemistry, they don't execute this play, no
17:30
Speaker 1: question about it. If they don't have chemistry. DK continues
17:32
Speaker 1: to run the shallow cross and Russell throws it to
17:35
Speaker 1: nobody or vice versa. And think about this defensively, when
17:38
Speaker 1: you look at if their cover zero and when they're
17:39
Speaker 1: in that tight bunch, you know, the corn on the
17:41
Speaker 1: outside essentially like listen, I'm gonna take whatever breaks outside.
17:45
Speaker 1: The guy who's in the slod is gonna take number two,
17:47
Speaker 1: which is tire locket right at the middle, and then
17:49
Speaker 1: the safety is on the inside is gonna take whoever
17:51
Speaker 1: breaks inside. Now, the problem for that, that's a really
17:54
Speaker 1: tough matchup for a safety picking up DK back off
17:57
Speaker 1: in that situation when the blitz is on. So especially
18:00
Speaker 1: when you're backed up in that red zone, you're not
18:02
Speaker 1: thinking there's gonna be a double move. You're not thinking
18:05
Speaker 1: there's gonna be enough time. So he he commits. He
18:07
Speaker 1: sees that child cross. He's probably seen DK and Russell
18:10
Speaker 1: or Tyler whoever run this route a million times, So
18:13
Speaker 1: he breaks downhill thinking, oh, I might get a pick.
18:15
Speaker 1: The blitch is on. Whoops they call that I can't
18:18
Speaker 1: say on this podcast to oh blank read as a
18:21
Speaker 1: defensive back where you go, oh and if you can't
18:24
Speaker 1: grab him, you know to touchdown and exactly easy pitching
18:27
Speaker 1: catch for Russell Wilson, DK metcal. I love to see it.
18:30
Speaker 1: I used to call it that, or we used to
18:32
Speaker 1: call at Washington stay we hit him with the oochie.
18:33
Speaker 1: Wally got him all right. Hey, the last few weeks
18:40
Speaker 1: have been rough. This season has been rough. We haven't
18:43
Speaker 1: gotten this formation very often, but you know what, let's
18:46
Speaker 1: get into it. Victory formation. Here comes the Seahawk offense
18:52
Speaker 1: onto the field and the Vikings defense crunching out there
18:56
Speaker 1: knowing that one kneel down and the Seahawks arena one
19:00
Speaker 1: o'clock down and women for him. It's the victory formation.
19:03
Speaker 1: On Hawk Talk, Thank god her back in the victory formation.
19:07
Speaker 1: You know, it's been a couple of weeks. Bump I
19:08
Speaker 1: didn't even change the name on the rundown and still
19:11
Speaker 1: says clock running out. So I'm happy to be back
19:13
Speaker 1: in our favorite formation. And it was a great all
19:15
Speaker 1: round game, just straight up from start to finish. Seahawks
19:18
Speaker 1: dominated on offense, blowing out that bad Lions team, scoring
19:21
Speaker 1: points on nine consecutive drives. It was great to see
19:24
Speaker 1: everyone functioning on a high level. Offensively, Russell Wilson came
19:27
Speaker 1: out looked good. Jody Stills got chemistry, DK Metcal found
19:31
Speaker 1: him for three touchdowns. It was great to see him
19:34
Speaker 1: a go over sixty yards, even though he barely went over,
19:37
Speaker 1: but that was the first time in like nine games.
19:39
Speaker 1: And then for him to get you know, last week
19:42
Speaker 1: he had a touchdown, but for him to get three
19:44
Speaker 1: grabs is the first game with multiple touchdowns since Halloween.
19:47
Speaker 1: So love to see how the offense got going, and
19:49
Speaker 1: it was. It was. We've been waiting to see that
19:51
Speaker 1: all season long. We got a little bit in the
19:53
Speaker 1: Colts game. We've not been down with Russell's injury and
19:56
Speaker 1: everything that had happened. So it's great to see them
19:58
Speaker 1: come out finally put it together. Yes it might be
20:00
Speaker 1: a little too late, but it's great to see them
20:02
Speaker 1: finish out the home schedule strong. Rishad Penny says, look, man,
20:06
Speaker 1: I gotta sign me. Imagine what me and Chris Carson
20:09
Speaker 1: can do when I am healthy. He had the best
20:12
Speaker 1: game of his career. First half USh for one hundred
20:14
Speaker 1: and forty yards, ended up with one hundred and seventy.
20:17
Speaker 1: That's what you wanted to see out of a first
20:20
Speaker 1: round drive pick. That's what the league MP Carroll thought
20:23
Speaker 1: he was getting. But unfortunately, injuries have just plagued Rashod Penny,
20:28
Speaker 1: but he has bounced back. I love to see it
20:29
Speaker 1: in the offensive line played well. Man only allowing one
20:32
Speaker 1: sack in two hundred and sixty five yards. Phil Haynes
20:35
Speaker 1: looked great, who started for Damian Lewis, was added to
20:37
Speaker 1: the COVID list. There's been so much turnover on this
20:40
Speaker 1: offensive line, like and I feel like for the past
20:43
Speaker 1: three or four years, there's been a lot of turnover.
20:45
Speaker 1: And when you talk to football teams, the old line
20:48
Speaker 1: is usually one of the closest groups when it comes
20:50
Speaker 1: to position groups. They've really had to come together this
20:53
Speaker 1: year just because of the turnover. And I mean, I'm
20:57
Speaker 1: sure Dwayne Brown is coaching up young since you got
21:00
Speaker 1: gave Jackson coaching him up. Damian Lewis his second year here,
21:03
Speaker 1: he's in, he's out. The fact that Bay are Indy
21:05
Speaker 1: gone a high note, I think is extremely important. This
21:08
Speaker 1: is a group that's going to be addressed during the
21:09
Speaker 1: off season. But for everything that's happened, this line has
21:13
Speaker 1: done the best they can do in a tough situation. Yeah,
21:15
Speaker 1: no question about it. You mentioned that, so one thing
21:17
Speaker 1: that kind of got overlooked. Damian Lewis flips the other side.
21:20
Speaker 1: Now a lot of people say when you talk to
21:21
Speaker 1: Big Ray, it's more of an issue when it's tackled
21:24
Speaker 1: a right tackle left tackle than left guard to right
21:26
Speaker 1: guard or whatever, but still it was a change. He's
21:28
Speaker 1: moving over. Gabe Jackson's knew in this offense. Ethan posted
21:31
Speaker 1: Kyle Fuller back and forth, Kyle on the job to
21:33
Speaker 1: start because Ethan was hurt. Then Ethan comes in. Then
21:36
Speaker 1: Brandon Shell has been up and down and Stone fourth
21:39
Speaker 1: I s got some play. Then Jake Kerhan, who was
21:41
Speaker 1: an undrafted guy to cow comes in and he's actually
21:43
Speaker 1: playing great football. So you're right. It is great to
21:45
Speaker 1: see that offensive line dealing with the adversity they've had
21:48
Speaker 1: to go through and not having the same consistent lineup
21:50
Speaker 1: weekend and week out. So great to see that. Like
21:53
Speaker 1: we said earlier, Russell Wilson looked like Russell Wilson fishing
21:56
Speaker 1: day four touchdowns and this offense is is playing where
22:01
Speaker 1: we wanted to see and I just want to see
22:03
Speaker 1: them finished bump. Can we do that? Can we get
22:06
Speaker 1: that one more time against Arizona? I don't want to
22:09
Speaker 1: lose Aaronzona. Man. They take so much pride and joy
22:13
Speaker 1: when they play ass out. It doesn't matter where the
22:14
Speaker 1: record is when they win and the Seahawks own it
22:17
Speaker 1: down there at State Farm Stadium in Arizona. They lost
22:20
Speaker 1: that crazy game last year, but in Russell's career, in
22:23
Speaker 1: Pete's tenure, all the time, they have always gone down there,
22:26
Speaker 1: balled out at Arizona. A lot of twelves show up
22:28
Speaker 1: down there in Arizona, so I would love to spoil
22:31
Speaker 1: their party as they potentially limp into the playoffs next
22:34
Speaker 1: next week. Let's go. Let's go down to the desert
22:37
Speaker 1: and get it done. The last game of the season
22:40
Speaker 1: is coming up next week. You guys, make sure you
22:41
Speaker 1: go out support. If you can be there, get on
22:44
Speaker 1: your couch, scream loud, make some noise. That was Hawk
22:47
Speaker 1: Talk rekappetition. The Seahawks beat the Lions fifty one to
22:51
Speaker 1: twenty nine. Thanks for joining us. I'm Michael bumpa season
22:54
Speaker 1: as the Chobe. We talk too soon.
