Speaker 1: You're listening to Hawk Talk with former Seahawks wide receiver
0:04
Speaker 1: Michael Bumpus. Playfak go to roll right, jumps it off
0:07
Speaker 1: into the right class to Michael Bumpas, who bounces off
0:09
Speaker 1: on one tackler gets inside the forty down of the
0:12
Speaker 1: thirty five yard line. Powered by Seahawks dot Com, Matt
0:15
Speaker 1: pump fakes looking at the goal line. He throws it
0:17
Speaker 1: into the end zone. Touchdown. Say Hawks, it's Michael Bumpus
0:21
Speaker 1: with a diving catch in the end zone. Ten yard
0:24
Speaker 1: touchdown reception for Bumpus, and the kid out of Washington
0:28
Speaker 1: State has found himself a place on this team. Now,
0:31
Speaker 1: here's your host, Nasa Chuby. Welcome to another edition of
0:35
Speaker 1: Hawk Talk. Yes, the Seahawks are back in the wind column,
0:38
Speaker 1: defeating the Detroit Lines forty eight to forty five on
0:41
Speaker 1: the road. And this was one hell of the game,
0:44
Speaker 1: fireworks from start to finish. It's great to have a
0:47
Speaker 1: nice victory Monday here at the Virginia Mason Athletic Center.
0:50
Speaker 1: Everything is right in the world. And when everything is
0:52
Speaker 1: right in the world, that means we're talking to our
0:54
Speaker 1: guy Ray Roberts in the trenches. It's time to go
0:59
Speaker 1: inside the trenches with former Seahawk Ray Roberts, Big Gray,
1:04
Speaker 1: Big Ray, Big Ray. This was a battle of Ray Roberts,
1:07
Speaker 1: two former teams. If anything, this was a battle of
1:09
Speaker 1: Ray Roberts. So definitely a fun game to watch on Sunday.
1:14
Speaker 1: Ray all the fireworks in the world. Not the game
1:16
Speaker 1: we accepted or expected. The Seahawks beat the Lines forty
1:19
Speaker 1: eight to forty five in a shootout. Seahawks had five
1:22
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty five yards of total offense. Ray. Why
1:25
Speaker 1: were they able to finally open things up and really
1:28
Speaker 1: get this offense where we thought it could be? Well,
1:30
Speaker 1: I think, first of all, you know Detroit. I love
1:34
Speaker 1: the way you said Detroit too. That's how you have
1:36
Speaker 1: to say it's not Detroit, that Detroit. But I love
1:40
Speaker 1: the way that when they talked last week about opening
1:44
Speaker 1: the offense. A lot of times when people here opening
1:47
Speaker 1: the offense, that means that we're going to take all
1:49
Speaker 1: the deep shots. But what it really meant was, man,
1:52
Speaker 1: we're given, you know, full rain of this playbook and
1:56
Speaker 1: all that's in it, whether it's the using the tight ends,
1:59
Speaker 1: the running back, you know, Audibling, that the line of scrimmage.
2:02
Speaker 1: I think you know, Gino was in complete command of
2:06
Speaker 1: the offense to the point where on third and twenty
2:09
Speaker 1: six or whatever it is, the audible to a run
2:11
Speaker 1: play and it became a touchdown, and then the audible
2:13
Speaker 1: again on another run play is another thirty six yards,
2:17
Speaker 1: you know whatever, it was touchdown. So he was really
2:20
Speaker 1: in command of the offense. And to me, that is
2:23
Speaker 1: a great time because now you have access to all
2:27
Speaker 1: of those weapons, like no offense I thought was going
2:30
Speaker 1: to be a tremendous weapon, you know, when they when
2:33
Speaker 1: when they signed him or he came over in the trade.
2:36
Speaker 1: But man, I didn't know that this Lee was gonna
2:39
Speaker 1: do his thing and that uh Parkinson was going to
2:42
Speaker 1: be able to do his thing. And I mean they
2:44
Speaker 1: have just really been balling out at the tight end position,
2:48
Speaker 1: you know, just the three of them combined, and then
2:50
Speaker 1: the way they've been able to get DK involved and
2:53
Speaker 1: keep Tyler involved without having to focus on one or
2:56
Speaker 1: the other. Last year, it felt like one game it
2:58
Speaker 1: was it was dec his game, the next game was
3:01
Speaker 1: Tyler's game. But now it's it's like the whole field
3:05
Speaker 1: is Geno's playground. And so I think he's done a
3:09
Speaker 1: really good job of being mature about it, playing within
3:12
Speaker 1: his ability, and then just using everything that's accessible to
3:16
Speaker 1: them from the playbook. I like what you said there
3:18
Speaker 1: about Gino there Ray So coming into this season we
3:21
Speaker 1: talked about and I think you talked about a lot that, like, hey,
3:24
Speaker 1: play your game, don't try to step outside yourself, don't
3:26
Speaker 1: try to replace the guy that came before you. Well,
3:28
Speaker 1: right now he's not only playing good football, he's playing
3:31
Speaker 1: some of the best at that quarterback position in the
3:33
Speaker 1: National Football League. Are you surprised at all by his
3:36
Speaker 1: consistency or his overall play. You talked about the playbook
3:39
Speaker 1: being completely opened up, so used to all those weapons,
3:42
Speaker 1: but Gino specifically, are you surprised he's playing the best
3:44
Speaker 1: football of his career? I am, because you don't normally
3:47
Speaker 1: see this type of transformation. And then what we have
3:52
Speaker 1: seen of Gino in the past, like, yeah, he kind
3:55
Speaker 1: of filled in for a rush from time to time,
3:58
Speaker 1: and he's played in the preseason, but it always seemed
4:00
Speaker 1: like he was kind of playing safe football, you know,
4:04
Speaker 1: and or he would have a bad play at the
4:07
Speaker 1: at the wrong time, like that kind of thing. But
4:10
Speaker 1: for him to be able to have the steadiness that
4:13
Speaker 1: he has the patience that he that he has the
4:17
Speaker 1: maturity that he's going about it. To play, you know,
4:19
Speaker 1: just to kind of play within the confines of his
4:22
Speaker 1: ability is tremendous because there has to be something in
4:26
Speaker 1: there that goes like, okay, almost, I'm like, I'm liking
4:29
Speaker 1: this thing up, I'm about to go do to do
4:31
Speaker 1: you know, I'm about to go do whatever, you know,
4:33
Speaker 1: And then that's when you start to kind of try
4:35
Speaker 1: to do things you're not capable of, like trying to
4:37
Speaker 1: scramble around or make a big throw or what have you.
4:40
Speaker 1: But he's been able to keep all of that in
4:42
Speaker 1: check and just and just get the ball distributed ball
4:46
Speaker 1: to that he's not managing the game either. He's playing
4:48
Speaker 1: the game, and I think that that's that's different than
4:51
Speaker 1: managing the game. So he doesn't have to be you know,
4:54
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson or Mahomes or whatever. But he's playing football
4:58
Speaker 1: at a very high level. Think that's awesome. Ray, What
5:02
Speaker 1: up though? What's going on? Man chilling like a villain?
5:05
Speaker 1: So you're talking about Gino and how he's just playing football,
5:08
Speaker 1: which I love to see and I completely agree with you.
5:12
Speaker 1: I also think who's playing some good football? Right now
5:14
Speaker 1: is a Rashad Penny. Your man would off one hundred
5:17
Speaker 1: yards and he did it with some short runs, short
5:20
Speaker 1: runs and open it up with some big ones, some
5:22
Speaker 1: third down runs. What you see out of him? And
5:24
Speaker 1: is it just him or is it this offensive line
5:26
Speaker 1: in just the way this offense is approaching the game
5:29
Speaker 1: in totality, Well, the thing I like and is that
5:34
Speaker 1: they have taken the offenctive line and their abilities into consideration.
5:40
Speaker 1: So a lot of times when you hear people talking
5:42
Speaker 1: about building their offense, especially if you're listening to ESPN
5:46
Speaker 1: and all these big shows and everyone thinks they know everything,
5:48
Speaker 1: all they talk about is what can the skill guys
5:51
Speaker 1: do if you want to call them at the receivers
5:53
Speaker 1: or running backs to quarterbacks tighten, what can they do
5:55
Speaker 1: and how you set them up success to success and
5:58
Speaker 1: how do you put them in the right situation. No
6:00
Speaker 1: one talks about how do you put your offensive line
6:02
Speaker 1: in the right situation? And I feel like this year,
6:06
Speaker 1: especially with I think having the two rookie rookie offensive
6:09
Speaker 1: lineman forced them to think about how do we put
6:13
Speaker 1: these rookies in the best position to be successful, and
6:16
Speaker 1: therefore it put the offensive line in the best position
6:19
Speaker 1: to be success successful. So they're doing the things that
6:22
Speaker 1: they're really good at blocking downhill, uh Dave, you know,
6:26
Speaker 1: Abe Lucas is really good at like setting the edge
6:29
Speaker 1: on edge runs. He's really good at getting up to
6:31
Speaker 1: the next level. He's really good at finishing blocks. Charles
6:34
Speaker 1: seems to be more of a mobile dude. You saw
6:36
Speaker 1: him pull on one of the long touchdown runs. He's
6:39
Speaker 1: starting to, you know, see the athleticism of uh of
6:44
Speaker 1: Lewis the way you know he pulled on both of
6:46
Speaker 1: those plays, had a great trap that Penny timed up
6:49
Speaker 1: and for the one touchdown, and they came back around
6:51
Speaker 1: the true counter where they pulled a guard in the
6:53
Speaker 1: tackle from the backside of he was. He was a
6:55
Speaker 1: guard that pulled around the corner. So I think that
6:57
Speaker 1: they're taking in consideration all of the ability. He's all
7:00
Speaker 1: the people on offense, and that's what makes the difference.
7:03
Speaker 1: And then when you look at Penny Man like you know,
7:06
Speaker 1: last year, I was like, Okay, it's five games. You've
7:08
Speaker 1: been here for three or so years, you haven't played
7:10
Speaker 1: a whole lot. I'm not getting so excited about the
7:12
Speaker 1: five games. Even though you rushed for seve hundred yards
7:15
Speaker 1: and all it was cool, the look cool and all
7:16
Speaker 1: that kind of stuff. Show me you can do it again,
7:19
Speaker 1: and then show me you can do it again, and
7:21
Speaker 1: then show me you can do it again. And that's
7:23
Speaker 1: what he's been doing. And then once the one play
7:26
Speaker 1: that didn't seem like that big of a deal last
7:29
Speaker 1: yesterday was you know, like I said before, there's a
7:31
Speaker 1: play where I don't know he picked up ten or
7:33
Speaker 1: fifteen yards he because he just stepped out of bounds
7:35
Speaker 1: and the defender was coming up. But he leaned into
7:38
Speaker 1: the defender and invited the contact. He never thought I
7:41
Speaker 1: would see that from him. And so he's learning how
7:43
Speaker 1: to run behind his pad. He's confident that he can,
7:47
Speaker 1: you know, get get through the hole and then take
7:48
Speaker 1: it to the house, or if he needs to be physical,
7:51
Speaker 1: he can do that. So now you have defenders thinking like, okay,
7:53
Speaker 1: this was gonna run past me. Is he gonna give
7:55
Speaker 1: me the lazy leg and like make me break my ankles?
7:58
Speaker 1: Or is he gonna put his shoulder down and run
8:00
Speaker 1: over me. Now he's at an advantage to kind of
8:02
Speaker 1: do what he wants in those situations, and that has
8:05
Speaker 1: been impressive. I love it. It's like he's in complete control, right,
8:08
Speaker 1: He's got him guessing. You don't know what he is
8:11
Speaker 1: going to do next. I love to see it. In honesty, Ray,
8:13
Speaker 1: I think the success of Penny is going to result
8:17
Speaker 1: in the success of DK Metcalf as well. I don't
8:19
Speaker 1: think it's a coincidence that both these guys had big games.
8:23
Speaker 1: I think it's correlated. Oh absolutely, Like, uh, you know,
8:27
Speaker 1: I think like, you know, you've heard me say this,
8:29
Speaker 1: and I said it in the post game, and I
8:30
Speaker 1: said it all last year. It was kind of cool
8:32
Speaker 1: to say that. I thought it was. I kind of
8:33
Speaker 1: was pat myself on the back a little bit about
8:35
Speaker 1: marrying the run game to the past game. Yeah, and
8:39
Speaker 1: this game yesterday was the first time where I watched
8:44
Speaker 1: the football game and I didn't feel like I was watching, uh,
8:47
Speaker 1: two parallel tracks. It looked like one comprehensive offense that
8:51
Speaker 1: was running, and then Gino was at the helm of
8:54
Speaker 1: it going like, oh okay, we got this pass call,
8:56
Speaker 1: but man, like this defense that running they don't have.
8:59
Speaker 1: You know, they have seven guys within a yard as
9:01
Speaker 1: a line of scrimmage and net closest dude, it's fifteen
9:03
Speaker 1: yards away. Man, we're gonna pin and pull and we're
9:05
Speaker 1: at the house, we're out the gate, and so like
9:08
Speaker 1: that type of stuff to me is when the offense
9:10
Speaker 1: is really worked comprehensively and play action looks just like
9:13
Speaker 1: the runs are going to play. The runs looks just
9:15
Speaker 1: like the play action the past game and the running game.
9:19
Speaker 1: It's all tied together. You're not having to go like, Okay,
9:21
Speaker 1: this quarter we're focusing on getting the ball to DK
9:23
Speaker 1: and this quarter we're focusing on running the ball. No,
9:26
Speaker 1: we're open to playbook. We have a dude that we trust,
9:29
Speaker 1: and we have some players that can make plays. Let's
9:31
Speaker 1: just go play football and make it happen. And that's
9:33
Speaker 1: what was really cool about yesterday too. Well, Ray, I'll
9:35
Speaker 1: keep patting you on the back though, but would you say,
9:38
Speaker 1: now this offense is engaged, right, So they put it
9:41
Speaker 1: together for one and for one game. What's it gonna
9:43
Speaker 1: take for them to be married and go on the honeymoon?
9:46
Speaker 1: What's that going to happen? Well, first of all, you know,
9:50
Speaker 1: like the dad is always the one that has to
9:51
Speaker 1: pay for all that stuff, right, So Pete Carroll is
9:53
Speaker 1: going to have to you know, lay the log down
9:56
Speaker 1: and say it's okay for this marriage to happen, but no,
9:59
Speaker 1: I I think that the engagement period was like the preseason,
10:04
Speaker 1: and then they finally got to the point where the
10:07
Speaker 1: dad that has to pay for everything said, okay, let's
10:10
Speaker 1: open the playbook, let's let's give let's give this marriage
10:13
Speaker 1: our blessing. And that's what it feels like. That feels
10:15
Speaker 1: like that's what happened yesterday. Now, if they go back
10:19
Speaker 1: next week and it looks like something totally different than
10:21
Speaker 1: maybe we're gonna have to go to marriage counseling or something.
10:23
Speaker 1: But it looks like it looks like to me that
10:26
Speaker 1: the wedding was yesterday. I mean, I don't know how
10:29
Speaker 1: I don't know how much bigger it can be. I mean,
10:32
Speaker 1: five hundred and some yards of offense, one hundred yard receiver,
10:35
Speaker 1: one hundred yard rushers, gino, you know, twenty three or
10:39
Speaker 1: thirty passes or three hundred and twenty yards he rushed
10:41
Speaker 1: for another touchdown. It was beautiful football. The tight ends
10:44
Speaker 1: all had you know, catches, two of the tight ends
10:47
Speaker 1: had touchdowns, you know, like all that kind of stuff.
10:49
Speaker 1: So I just loved the way it worked. And then
10:52
Speaker 1: obviously you're not gonna rush. You're not gonna have Father
10:54
Speaker 1: in some yards every game. But the idea that they
10:57
Speaker 1: can show up and this is what this is a
11:00
Speaker 1: game planner coming in with. This is what they're going
11:02
Speaker 1: to try to execute on. I think it is a
11:04
Speaker 1: greater chance of being successful. And and I will just
11:06
Speaker 1: go back to the saying, like if we're gonna talk
11:09
Speaker 1: about the marriage, I'm gonna say these two left pack
11:11
Speaker 1: and these two tackles of the groomsmen because they have
11:13
Speaker 1: been handling their business. Yes, Cross has given up some sacks,
11:17
Speaker 1: but those things have been more more technique things than
11:20
Speaker 1: they have been ability. Yesterday they had no sacks. I
11:23
Speaker 1: think there was only one quarterback hit. Those dudes have
11:26
Speaker 1: been balling out. And I will keep saying it over
11:28
Speaker 1: and over and over and over. And I know the
11:29
Speaker 1: Coup fans will like it because they love me up
11:31
Speaker 1: every time I say it, so I'm trying to get
11:33
Speaker 1: a little love. It's that Abe Lucas to me, has
11:36
Speaker 1: been the field of the draft. Like I know Teri
11:38
Speaker 1: Wooland has been doing his thing, but Abe Lucas is
11:41
Speaker 1: a first round that they picked up in the third round.
11:44
Speaker 1: To dude is playing great football. He is like his cool,
11:47
Speaker 1: calm demeanor. To me, it's just so intimidating because just
11:50
Speaker 1: like you just want to see him like get either
11:52
Speaker 1: super happy or super mad. He doesn't do either one
11:55
Speaker 1: of them. If you're just kind of like, Okay, what's
11:57
Speaker 1: wrong is dude? Like? And but he just smashing dudes
11:59
Speaker 1: all the time. And I think Charles is learning how
12:02
Speaker 1: to be a little bit more aggressive in its approach,
12:04
Speaker 1: being a little bit more invitent with his hands and
12:06
Speaker 1: things like that to go along with his smooth athletics.
12:08
Speaker 1: To some these dudes have been playing really really good football.
12:13
Speaker 1: Love to see it. Ray, You got me fired up, man,
12:15
Speaker 1: let's go. I mean I'm hoping I get the invite
12:17
Speaker 1: to to the wet Big Day. Um you know what
12:20
Speaker 1: I'm saying. I'm hoping the honeymoon's going Yeah, in it.
12:23
Speaker 1: We should be in it, right and then we're gonna
12:27
Speaker 1: We're gonna be the band and then next year we'll
12:29
Speaker 1: be talking about the reunion because this team got to
12:31
Speaker 1: figure it out. Ray, appreciate you as always for hopping
12:34
Speaker 1: on with us every single week. We're inside the trench
12:36
Speaker 1: with Ray Roberts offensive line play like no one else.
12:39
Speaker 1: You're never gonna hear it any better from a guy
12:41
Speaker 1: who has a PhD and O line play. Ray Roberts.
12:44
Speaker 1: Appreciate you join us, but thanks for having me, dude.
12:46
Speaker 1: All r right, thanks right, all right, God gotta love
12:48
Speaker 1: me some right, that's always fun. Let's get back into
12:51
Speaker 1: what had happened. See what had happened at first? What
12:56
Speaker 1: had happened was I was not ready for that. I
13:01
Speaker 1: was not ready for what we saw. We did our
13:03
Speaker 1: game predictions, man, We always had that competition, and I'll
13:05
Speaker 1: take everyone behind the scenes on that. We do our
13:07
Speaker 1: game predictions. We have a tally throughout the year, and
13:10
Speaker 1: I don't think anyone had to score over thirty points.
13:12
Speaker 1: If um crag my memory starts right, I had twenty
13:14
Speaker 1: one seven. I had twenty one seven. I think Moya
13:18
Speaker 1: had thirty twenty seven or something like that. But that's
13:20
Speaker 1: about it. I mean, holy smokes, I mean shootout. I
13:23
Speaker 1: mean both teams combined for one thousand and seventy five
13:26
Speaker 1: yards of total offense and ninety three points, and the
13:29
Speaker 1: Seahawks scored at least ten points in every quarter for
13:31
Speaker 1: the first time in franchise history. If you were looking
13:34
Speaker 1: for a defensive ballot, which I love that was not
13:37
Speaker 1: the case. On the Sunday, Gino Boy, Gino, he got
13:40
Speaker 1: things going right away out the gate with an impressive
13:43
Speaker 1: eleven play seventy five yard touchdown drive that ended with
13:46
Speaker 1: the will distantly touchdown. The Lions answered right back after
13:50
Speaker 1: Tyler Lockett uncharacteristic. That will be the last time you
13:53
Speaker 1: ever see that. I think it was the first time
13:55
Speaker 1: I've seen it, and it's got to be the last time, right, Yeah.
13:57
Speaker 1: I mean he had one one muff, but that was
14:00
Speaker 1: because somebody was pushed into him against the forty nine ers.
14:02
Speaker 1: And then this one. Sometimes you get lucky. I think
14:05
Speaker 1: the helmet just grazed the ball as he was falling
14:07
Speaker 1: down and bam things happened. But he did get that fumble,
14:10
Speaker 1: and then Jared Goff and Hawkins and hooked up for
14:13
Speaker 1: one play for thirty two yards and they're back on
14:15
Speaker 1: the board. You're thinking, Okay, let's see what Gino does.
14:17
Speaker 1: He ancels right back a long drive with an eight
14:20
Speaker 1: yard run. He does it himself this time that was
14:23
Speaker 1: set up by a big play from DK a fifty
14:25
Speaker 1: five yard or Gino says, I'm gonna tak it into
14:27
Speaker 1: my own hands. Actually, Shane Waldron called it, and Gino executed.
14:31
Speaker 1: He scores a touchdown. That was a great play. I
14:33
Speaker 1: love that when you see them do that, I'm like, okay,
14:35
Speaker 1: that means Shane Waldron we'll talk about a little bit
14:37
Speaker 1: throughout this podcast. He was out there balling. He's been.
14:40
Speaker 1: He's been in his back the last two weeks for sure,
14:43
Speaker 1: knowing what they're gonna be, always getting the Seahawks in
14:44
Speaker 1: the right play. The Lions would then answer back with
14:47
Speaker 1: a long twelve play drive anywhere when you're a touchdown
14:49
Speaker 1: run by Jamal Williams making it twenty four to fifteen
14:52
Speaker 1: at the half. Second half, the opens up Twique willin
14:55
Speaker 1: let's go pick six forty yards taking picking off Jared Goff.
14:59
Speaker 1: And we're in ti about this in the film room.
15:01
Speaker 1: But Tariq Willen is playing way above expectation right now
15:05
Speaker 1: level we're seeing from him. Yeah, it's nice for tari
15:07
Speaker 1: to get his hands on the football for the second
15:09
Speaker 1: week in a row. But then the game will go
15:11
Speaker 1: back and forth, and there was each team exchanging long
15:13
Speaker 1: touchdown drive after long touchdown drive, and then there was
15:16
Speaker 1: a play on third and five or Rashad Penny did
15:18
Speaker 1: his thing forty one yards to the house, making it
15:21
Speaker 1: forty eight to thirty eight, and I just like one
15:24
Speaker 1: the play calling, trusting Rashad Penny, and Penny's showing that. Okay,
15:29
Speaker 1: the first three weeks statistically probably didn't go the way
15:32
Speaker 1: that we'd like it to go, but don't forget you
15:34
Speaker 1: have one of the hottest running backs in the league.
15:37
Speaker 1: If you transfer over from twenty twenty one, he's killing
15:41
Speaker 1: the game. I think he's shown again for all the doubters,
15:44
Speaker 1: all the haters, like, hey, I can play in this
15:46
Speaker 1: league consistently and he's one of the best home run
15:49
Speaker 1: hitters in the league. That's not just not just saying that.
15:51
Speaker 1: I mean you look at his He's already like second
15:54
Speaker 1: in Seahawks history and runs over thirty yard touchdowns, just
15:57
Speaker 1: behind Sean Alexander. So the dude can play in the
15:59
Speaker 1: small on out the lines would score again. After that,
16:02
Speaker 1: they're unable to recover the onside kick, which was very
16:05
Speaker 1: closer than I would like. Seahawks end up getting that.
16:07
Speaker 1: I believe DJ Dallas came up with it, held on
16:09
Speaker 1: for the forty eight to forty five victory, and bump.
16:13
Speaker 1: Apparently this was the first time in franchise history. The
16:15
Speaker 1: Seahawks's not punting the game. I have not been able
16:18
Speaker 1: to confirm that on my side, but it was set
16:19
Speaker 1: on the Fox broadcast. I'll take it is as you know,
16:23
Speaker 1: as gospel. But man, bump, look at that. Look at
16:25
Speaker 1: the drive chart. It's crazy. They go touchdown, touchdown, field goal, touchdown,
16:30
Speaker 1: A miss field goal that was a chip shot. Reminds
16:33
Speaker 1: me of me on the first team when I don't
16:35
Speaker 1: warm up. You snapped that thing left. Then they go touchdown,
16:38
Speaker 1: field goal, touchdown. End of the game. They essentially should
16:41
Speaker 1: have scored on every drive they possessed a football. I mean,
16:46
Speaker 1: that's that's video game stuff, right, What are we talking about?
16:49
Speaker 1: And here's the thing. For everyone who's not excited about
16:53
Speaker 1: the Seahawk victory, what all I can tell you is
16:56
Speaker 1: this is National Football League. There's grown men that get
16:59
Speaker 1: paid a lot out of money to play this game.
17:01
Speaker 1: And when you put forty eight on anybody, I don't
17:03
Speaker 1: give you know what who's out there. That's impressive. So
17:07
Speaker 1: good thing to see from the Seahawks playmakers. Only one
17:21
Speaker 1: place to start, quarterback number seven, number one in our hearts,
17:25
Speaker 1: Gino Smith twenty three of thirty three hundred twenty yards,
17:29
Speaker 1: two touchdowns, seven carries forty nine yards in a touchdown.
17:33
Speaker 1: Gino joined that seven yards per carry. It's quick math
17:36
Speaker 1: for you. Oh, I appreciate you're good with the sevenths.
17:38
Speaker 1: You're good with the seventh. I like that. The time
17:40
Speaker 1: stable is good. Are you helping the kids out? Yeah?
17:41
Speaker 1: You know, you know, third grade man, Let's get it um.
17:45
Speaker 1: Gino joined Derek Carr and Tom Brady is the only
17:47
Speaker 1: quarterback since nineteen fifty with a seventy plus completent percentage
17:51
Speaker 1: with a minimum of twenty five attempts in each of
17:53
Speaker 1: the team's first four games in a season. He's also
17:55
Speaker 1: completing seventy seven point three of his passes this season.
17:58
Speaker 1: That's the highest least in percentage by any QB three
18:01
Speaker 1: team's first four games in a season with a minimum
18:04
Speaker 1: of one hundred and twenty five attempts. This dude is
18:07
Speaker 1: playing unconscious right now. It's it's really it's hard for
18:09
Speaker 1: me to really put into words how much he's meant
18:11
Speaker 1: for this team, because they needed every ounce of offense
18:14
Speaker 1: that Gino could put up last week. And I just
18:17
Speaker 1: love his perspective after the game. They're asking him about it.
18:19
Speaker 1: What are you surprised by this performance? He's like, no,
18:21
Speaker 1: I can play better. He has expectations so high, and
18:24
Speaker 1: he's put in the work for years playing behind Russell
18:28
Speaker 1: before that, playing Buy and Philip Rivers, playing behind Eli
18:30
Speaker 1: Manning to get his shot again. And this isn't the
18:33
Speaker 1: New York Jets. You know what I'm saying. He's in
18:35
Speaker 1: a good He's in a good place. So I'm just
18:37
Speaker 1: I'm just super excited for Geno. There's nothing else so
18:39
Speaker 1: I can really say seeing him inside this building and
18:41
Speaker 1: just a smile he has on his face and this
18:42
Speaker 1: way he carries himself and does his business. Love to see. Yeah,
18:45
Speaker 1: extremely excited for Gino. You mentioned back to back three
18:48
Speaker 1: hundred yard games, first time is done. At his career,
18:51
Speaker 1: is only thrown over three hundred yards five times, So
18:54
Speaker 1: we're seeing the culmination of a guy who had opportunities
18:59
Speaker 1: to learn behind guys were gonna go into the Hall
19:01
Speaker 1: of Fame Philip Rivers, On Russell Wilson and Eli Manning,
19:05
Speaker 1: and he's putting it all together. So it's impressive. I
19:08
Speaker 1: didn't expect this pleasant surprise. Next baller, we're gonna break down.
19:11
Speaker 1: Rashot Penny seventeen carries for one hundred and fifty one
19:14
Speaker 1: yards two touchdowns. This is the seventh time in his
19:16
Speaker 1: career he's rushed over a hundred yards. First one hundred
19:19
Speaker 1: yard game of the season and seventeen carries. It's just
19:23
Speaker 1: high for the season. Now, I forgot who it was.
19:26
Speaker 1: Maybe it was Turbo or it was Big Ray who
19:29
Speaker 1: said eighteen should be around how many carries this guy
19:32
Speaker 1: should give him? Almost got there seventeen and you saw
19:35
Speaker 1: him getting stronger and stronger throughout the game. Big Ray
19:38
Speaker 1: talks about it. He's not he's seeking contact, he's not
19:40
Speaker 1: trying to get out of bounds. So now he's got
19:43
Speaker 1: you on your heels like he's gonna run me over,
19:45
Speaker 1: He's gonna run by me. He's doing it all right now.
19:47
Speaker 1: Man number twenty is getting it done. If you want
19:49
Speaker 1: to ask one person right now on this planet about
19:53
Speaker 1: how good Rashod Penny's playing right now, I would ask
19:56
Speaker 1: the Detroit Lion secondary. So on that first first touch run,
20:00
Speaker 1: and as a former dB back in the day, that
20:02
Speaker 1: is the worst scenario, worst case scenario, all by the
20:05
Speaker 1: s or you're by yourself. They got a twenty yard
20:08
Speaker 1: head start coming right at you, and you just where
20:11
Speaker 1: to go? What are you gonna do? You're standing there,
20:13
Speaker 1: It's like, is he gonna joke me? He's gonna run
20:15
Speaker 1: me over? I mean, then he hit you with the
20:16
Speaker 1: heavy sut of there. Ye, no, we're shot. You're doing
20:20
Speaker 1: your thing, DK bump receivers. We've been talking about this
20:23
Speaker 1: a lot this year on this podcast and throughout all
20:25
Speaker 1: of our podcasts in the radio network. Is getting DK
20:28
Speaker 1: more involved? Well, he was involved in the game planning
20:31
Speaker 1: seven receptions, one hundred and forty nine yards, ten targets.
20:34
Speaker 1: With his receptions on Sunday, he now moves into tenth
20:36
Speaker 1: place all time on the Seahawks receiving yards list, passing
20:39
Speaker 1: Sam McCollum. And this is the thing that blew my
20:43
Speaker 1: mind when you think of DK metcalf, superstar receiver. This
20:46
Speaker 1: was DC's first one hundred yard games since Week three
20:49
Speaker 1: of twenty twenty one against Minnesota. Like obviously, then he
20:53
Speaker 1: started going peeling layers back. Hey, Russ hurt his finger.
20:56
Speaker 1: There's a lot going on in there, finding the run
20:58
Speaker 1: game and we're shot and all that stuff. But still
21:00
Speaker 1: a man of his He had a couple of games
21:01
Speaker 1: he was close he's like ninety eight, ninety six, but
21:03
Speaker 1: still love to see DK production wise and just getting
21:07
Speaker 1: those slants getting involved early on. So great to see
21:10
Speaker 1: DK with dCas numbers like this. It's gonna be tough
21:12
Speaker 1: to be. Yeah, he's doing a little bit of everything.
21:15
Speaker 1: I saw a dig, I saw a post, I saw
21:17
Speaker 1: a slant, Like, that's how you get DK the ball
21:19
Speaker 1: in multiple ways. He can do it all. When Tyler Lockett,
21:21
Speaker 1: he had a sneaky six for ninety one on ten
21:24
Speaker 1: targets like I had to look at the box scoring,
21:27
Speaker 1: I'm like, all right, I see Tyler Locket had a
21:29
Speaker 1: couple of big throws down the field from Geno Smith.
21:32
Speaker 1: But now he ranks fourth enfranchise history and all time receptions,
21:35
Speaker 1: passing John L. Williams on the same day. You got
21:39
Speaker 1: your dogs, your big boys at the receivers receiver spots
21:43
Speaker 1: making history out there many they could go down. Is
21:46
Speaker 1: one of the best, if not the best duo at
21:49
Speaker 1: the receiver spot to see all history, no question about it.
21:52
Speaker 1: I think I think the longevity of them both where
21:54
Speaker 1: they're at in their career and how fast they're going
21:56
Speaker 1: up this list. I mean, Steve Argin is in a
21:59
Speaker 1: class of his own. He's got the gold Steve and
22:01
Speaker 1: everybody else. We're in the touchdown conference room right now
22:04
Speaker 1: and there's a picture of Steve on the wall setting
22:06
Speaker 1: his NFL record with his one hundredth career touchdown catch.
22:08
Speaker 1: At the time, now was the time where guys weren't
22:10
Speaker 1: slaying it like that. So Steve is in a class
22:13
Speaker 1: of himself in terms of the numbers. I don't know
22:14
Speaker 1: if anyone's gonna catch him there, but these two were
22:17
Speaker 1: making a name from themselves. From yeah, I think there,
22:20
Speaker 1: it's gonna be hands down the best combo and Seahawks history.
22:22
Speaker 1: And then show the tight ends some love. Switching over
22:24
Speaker 1: to Will Disley, he had four receptions thirty nine yards
22:27
Speaker 1: and a touchdown. Disley now has three receiving touchdowns on
22:30
Speaker 1: the season, which leads the team. So love what the
22:33
Speaker 1: tight ends are doing. No a fan had touchdown earlier.
22:35
Speaker 1: We talked about that. Kobe Parkins still isn't involved, So
22:39
Speaker 1: this is now a pattern. This isn't a one game thing,
22:41
Speaker 1: two game thing. They've the tight ends have been involved
22:43
Speaker 1: in every single game. So you love to see it.
22:45
Speaker 1: The tight ends get the party going. They get the
22:47
Speaker 1: party started. When we open up a drive and then
22:50
Speaker 1: you see uncle will get a touches. See Kobe Parks
22:52
Speaker 1: can get a touch. It's gonna be a good day.
22:54
Speaker 1: That means everything else is working. And then we gotta
22:56
Speaker 1: show love to the offensive lime. This show has rushed
22:59
Speaker 1: for two hundred thirty five yards and allows zero sacks.
23:02
Speaker 1: That's with two rookie tackles out there. You got a
23:05
Speaker 1: veteran or several veterans on the inside. You got Blythe
23:08
Speaker 1: who's playing really good at that center spot, communicating with
23:11
Speaker 1: Gino Smith, getting guys in and out of things. But
23:13
Speaker 1: the old line, they need some love. Oh yeah, love,
23:16
Speaker 1: love what they're doing. And you say you mentioned Austin Blythe.
23:19
Speaker 1: They're seamless. He's getting with having two rookies on the line,
23:22
Speaker 1: and where he's at, the communication is seamless. He's not
23:24
Speaker 1: out there getting sack five times like some other people
23:27
Speaker 1: out there. He's not out there miscommunicating it. Danny, So
23:30
Speaker 1: I love what Austin Blythe is doing. Happy he's on
23:33
Speaker 1: our squad. Lastly, for playmakers, Tarik willing Man trek five tackles,
23:37
Speaker 1: one pass defense, one pick six, which we will break
23:40
Speaker 1: down here shortly, and he's had interceptions and back to
23:42
Speaker 1: back weeks. So love what the young fella is doing.
23:45
Speaker 1: Bump back to the round up. Look at these receivers.
23:47
Speaker 1: We talked about the first two, but what do you
23:49
Speaker 1: like to see about this box score? You know what?
23:52
Speaker 1: I see one, two, three receivers. I see three tight ends.
23:56
Speaker 1: I see two running backs. Every position who was eligible
23:58
Speaker 1: to get the ball once again got some receptions. But
24:02
Speaker 1: the tight ends. You got seven targets between will and
24:04
Speaker 1: Parkinson and then you throw Noah Fat in there one target,
24:07
Speaker 1: but he also scored a touchdown. So now all tight
24:10
Speaker 1: ends have score touchdowns, all of them. So now we
24:13
Speaker 1: need a Rashad Penny to get a reception receiving touchdown,
24:17
Speaker 1: just to mix it up a little bit, and might
24:19
Speaker 1: as well throw up Kenneth Walker there as well. Like
24:22
Speaker 1: keep mixing it up. And I think that once you
24:23
Speaker 1: get into the red zone, that's where those running back
24:26
Speaker 1: screens are going to come into play later. So yeah, man,
24:30
Speaker 1: hey it's getting spread out. I love it, love to
24:32
Speaker 1: see it. And one other thing I love to see
24:34
Speaker 1: is d Eskridge. Yes, he only had one reception, but
24:38
Speaker 1: I thought he was more involved in the game plan.
24:41
Speaker 1: He was out there. He's you know, previously leading into
24:43
Speaker 1: this week, it's really been Marquise Goodwin, who's gotten all
24:46
Speaker 1: the number three receiver reps, if you will. So good
24:49
Speaker 1: to see d es Ridch out there competing for playing
24:50
Speaker 1: time and just hoping to continue to get him more
24:53
Speaker 1: involved as things go on. All right, we've been teasing
24:56
Speaker 1: it all. Show the play of the game on the
24:58
Speaker 1: defensive side to re Willing steps in front of Jared
25:01
Speaker 1: Goff's pass for a forty yard pick six. Golf will
25:04
Speaker 1: start under center. He has two tight ends in the
25:07
Speaker 1: game of play. Fake to Williams. Golf has all kinds
25:10
Speaker 1: of time. He's gonna throw. It's nicked off coming the
25:12
Speaker 1: other ways. Neal down of the twenty, that's cut back
25:16
Speaker 1: inside touchdown, Say Hawks, it's one Trek one makes the
25:22
Speaker 1: interception return for the touchdown. Terrek just stepped right in
25:27
Speaker 1: front of the receiver, picked it off, and he was
25:30
Speaker 1: gone to the racist for thirty nine and a touch
25:33
Speaker 1: And man, that's the way to start the second half.
25:37
Speaker 1: Bump man, what Trek will putting on a clinic? Man,
25:40
Speaker 1: he's doing his thing. He's doing his thing. So he's
25:43
Speaker 1: up top. The Detroit Lions are in a tight little formation, right,
25:46
Speaker 1: and you got two tight ends up top. I think
25:48
Speaker 1: that's a tight end of receiver than a motion, a
25:51
Speaker 1: tight into the other side of formation and kind of
25:53
Speaker 1: give that run look and teres on the island all
25:56
Speaker 1: by himself, right. He gets in that little bell technique
25:58
Speaker 1: real quickly. He turns those hips and start to run.
26:00
Speaker 1: And I honestly think he baited this throw. The more
26:04
Speaker 1: that I look at it, I think he made Jared
26:06
Speaker 1: Goff thing that my guy was open. What happens as
26:08
Speaker 1: a guy he is covering runs like a dig, a
26:10
Speaker 1: deep dig, like around fifteen yards when Teriq has outside
26:14
Speaker 1: leverage on him. As soon as that player puts that
26:16
Speaker 1: left foot in the ground, Tarique trails on his back
26:19
Speaker 1: hip and then his closing speed. You just see him
26:21
Speaker 1: take two or three more steps faster than that receiver does.
26:25
Speaker 1: And then you really want to see some speed. You
26:26
Speaker 1: watch his man run towards the end zone with that
26:28
Speaker 1: rock in his haid. This looks like a veteran out
26:32
Speaker 1: there who was composed, who attacked the football and went
26:35
Speaker 1: and scored when he had it in his hands. You
26:38
Speaker 1: talk about closing speed. When Hawkinson gets in his break
26:41
Speaker 1: Terik is moving so fast it looks like Hawkinson slowed
26:44
Speaker 1: down and he didn't right. It looks like he absolutely
26:46
Speaker 1: stopped running. But no, Tarique, I agree with you on
26:48
Speaker 1: the baiting thing, because Pete Carroll talked about this a
26:51
Speaker 1: little bit the last couple of weeks. Is that he's
26:53
Speaker 1: seen Tarika go and pick off fast in practice that
26:55
Speaker 1: he's not seen from any corners going back until the
26:57
Speaker 1: Legion of Boomera, where someone runs kind of a dig
27:00
Speaker 1: or crossing right across the field and he picks it
27:02
Speaker 1: off on the opposite sideline. His closing speed, I mean
27:05
Speaker 1: when he when he decides he's gonna make a break
27:07
Speaker 1: on this football, he is flying and it's in stride.
27:11
Speaker 1: He he got there so fast it looked like it
27:14
Speaker 1: looks like Jared was thrown to him. I mean it
27:16
Speaker 1: looked like he was the only possible intending to receiver.
27:18
Speaker 1: So the fact that a man who has played the
27:21
Speaker 1: amount of games he has at corner is doing this
27:23
Speaker 1: in the nash Football League, I don't know what to
27:26
Speaker 1: tell you, man. All I know is Tarika owns a
27:28
Speaker 1: certified baller, and we're gonna see a lot more good
27:30
Speaker 1: things for him and finally, it's been a couple of weeks.
27:33
Speaker 1: Come on, we're back to that formation. You know what
27:35
Speaker 1: it is. Here comes the Seahawk offense onto the field
27:40
Speaker 1: and the Vikings defense trudging out there knowing that one
27:45
Speaker 1: kneel down and the Seahawks are gonna wind the clock
27:48
Speaker 1: down and win this one. It's the victory formation on
27:51
Speaker 1: Hawk Talk, greatest formation of football, nass I said, victory formation.
27:56
Speaker 1: And we are finally in it. And how do we
27:58
Speaker 1: get here? Mainly because of all offense five hundred and
28:01
Speaker 1: fifty five yards of offense. Rashad Penny rush for one
28:04
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty one. They rush for two thirty five
28:07
Speaker 1: as a squad in two touchdowns. It was just it
28:10
Speaker 1: was an offensive explosion. Whatever the offensive wanted to due
28:13
Speaker 1: they did. They scored ten points you mentioned earlier or
28:17
Speaker 1: more in every quarter, first time in franchise history. Five
28:21
Speaker 1: and fifty five. I believe that's the fourth or fifth
28:23
Speaker 1: highest total yards they've had in franchise history. The offense
28:26
Speaker 1: looked explosive and efficient every step of the way. They
28:30
Speaker 1: looked that way. I mean from drive one to the
28:33
Speaker 1: last drive of the game. They had things rolling and
28:35
Speaker 1: it was great to see I mentioned earlier, Shane Waldron
28:37
Speaker 1: has been killing the game. He's called an unbelievable amount
28:41
Speaker 1: of great plays. We're always in the right play between
28:44
Speaker 1: him and Gino, They're on the same page. They're always
28:46
Speaker 1: in the right play. And I love what we're seeing
28:47
Speaker 1: now because I feel like they've gotten to a point
28:49
Speaker 1: now where Pete even said it, the offense is open.
28:52
Speaker 1: Everything that Shane Waldron has in his bag, everything that
28:56
Speaker 1: he brought from the Rams, everything that's in his arsenal,
28:58
Speaker 1: we're gonna start seeing the next couple weeks, which is
29:00
Speaker 1: gonna make the Seahawks incredibly tough to defend. And gotta
29:03
Speaker 1: give love to Geno man Gino, most accurate passer in
29:06
Speaker 1: the National Football League, having the best season of his career,
29:09
Speaker 1: and it's frankly not close. He's doing things that other
29:12
Speaker 1: quarterbacks that get paid stupid amounts of money aren't doing.
29:15
Speaker 1: And yes it's four weeks, Yes they just played the lines,
29:18
Speaker 1: but he's been consistent. We can't say he's not pushing
29:20
Speaker 1: the ball down the field anymore after last week. He's
29:23
Speaker 1: doing it everywhere. He's getting the Seahawks in the right
29:25
Speaker 1: type of plays. So I'm not saying he's about to
29:27
Speaker 1: be the MVP or anything. I'm just saying he's bawling
29:30
Speaker 1: out and it's showing on the field, and this offense
29:32
Speaker 1: is finally hitting their stripe. Yep, offense looks good. We
29:34
Speaker 1: highlighted a DK seven for one forty nine and now
29:37
Speaker 1: it's about the defense, right. They gave a five hundred
29:40
Speaker 1: and thirty yards and forty five points. But this is
29:43
Speaker 1: what they did, Dode. They got some three and ouns
29:44
Speaker 1: early and they turned or they forced turnovers. You got
29:48
Speaker 1: Kobe Bran would have forced fumble, so Rick Willa would
29:51
Speaker 1: have picked six. They contributed to the forty eight points
29:54
Speaker 1: that the Hawks put up there, so they gotta fix
29:56
Speaker 1: some things. When I denying that, but when you walk
30:00
Speaker 1: away any football field would a w you ain't mad
30:03
Speaker 1: about it? Oh no, No, I learned early on, never
30:07
Speaker 1: apologize for wins, nah never apologize and celebrate every single
30:11
Speaker 1: one of them, as we're doing right in here today.
30:14
Speaker 1: The Seahawks beat the Lines forty eight to forty five
30:17
