Speaker 1: to Hawk Talk Preview edition, Week thirteen. The Seahawks are
0:37
Speaker 1: at home against the forty nine. Is a team that
0:40
Speaker 1: they beat this year. Let's see if they can do
0:42
Speaker 1: it again. Run that thing back. Before we get into it,
0:44
Speaker 1: let's get into the injury updates with Nasa Chobe. Thanks Bumba.
0:47
Speaker 1: I'll first start off with some roster news for the
0:49
Speaker 1: Seahawks that they have signed former All Pro and future
0:51
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame running back Atrian Peterson. Head coach p Carroll.
0:54
Speaker 1: Excited to see what he can bring to the table,
0:56
Speaker 1: Excited to see if he helps out and give us
0:58
Speaker 1: a little something. And it's a player that i've you know,
1:01
Speaker 1: I've known forever, you know, his way back to his
1:04
Speaker 1: high school days, and admired him tremendously over the years.
1:08
Speaker 1: Always disappointed we didn't get him back in the day,
1:10
Speaker 1: but like I just told him, we finally got him.
1:12
Speaker 1: So I'm looking forward see how he how he does
1:13
Speaker 1: and see where he can fit in. He's an incredible
1:16
Speaker 1: competitor and a great guy and some anxious stage, you know,
1:22
Speaker 1: give him a chance to get on a field with
1:24
Speaker 1: our boys. As far as the injury, some good news
1:26
Speaker 1: on Rashad Penny, who as of now is not heading
1:28
Speaker 1: to ir No. We're going to see how he works
1:30
Speaker 1: this week, see if he can get back in action.
1:32
Speaker 1: We're not sure yet. I have to wait and see
1:33
Speaker 1: this is gonna be. It's it's a week that we're
1:35
Speaker 1: in a little bit different mode because of the Monday
1:37
Speaker 1: night game, and so as we make it through the
1:40
Speaker 1: first couple of days of the week, we're kind of
1:42
Speaker 1: in recovery mode and he should be able to do everything,
1:47
Speaker 1: is what the trainers are saying talking about shod now
1:49
Speaker 1: and so we'll see what that means. And lastly, Pete
1:51
Speaker 1: Carroll feels good about a possible return for Damian Lewis.
1:54
Speaker 1: Good positive signs going into today from the docks. We'll
1:57
Speaker 1: see what happens this week will help him a little,
2:00
Speaker 1: but he'll get another couple of days where we won't
2:01
Speaker 1: have to be jamming on anybody, so we'll see and
2:04
Speaker 1: see if that doesn't help him so well, but we
2:06
Speaker 1: are thinking that he should be back. All right. That'll
2:08
Speaker 1: do it for the injury updates. Now it's time talking
2:09
Speaker 1: about the Seahawks Week thirteen. Opponent familiar foe, the San
2:13
Speaker 1: Francisco forty nine Ers. What's on tap? What's on tap?
2:20
Speaker 1: Those San Francisco forty nine ers. They are six in
2:23
Speaker 1: five on the season, with wins over the Detroit Lions,
2:25
Speaker 1: the Philadelphia Eagles, Chicago Bears, the Rams, the Jags, and
2:29
Speaker 1: the Minnesota Vikings. San Francisco Man. Early in the year
2:33
Speaker 1: they lost four games in a row. I thought it
2:35
Speaker 1: was over. I thought it was all she wrote for
2:37
Speaker 1: those Niners. Everyone was talking about Trey Lance when they
2:39
Speaker 1: get him in there. Jimmy Garoppolo is washed. Can't do it.
2:43
Speaker 1: Things of turn man, things of turn. Especially the last
2:45
Speaker 1: three games. They're on a three game winning streak, winning
2:48
Speaker 1: four of their last five. But things really started to
2:50
Speaker 1: change when they whipped up on the Rams. I think
2:53
Speaker 1: after that game they beat him thirty one to ten.
2:56
Speaker 1: That's kind of when they found their identity in what
2:58
Speaker 1: they do well. And they're starting to get healthy and honestly,
3:00
Speaker 1: they've messed up the Rams. The right Rams haven't won
3:02
Speaker 1: a game since, so they've they've got it going on.
3:06
Speaker 1: Heading into Week thirteen, excuse me, League twelve against the
3:10
Speaker 1: Minnesota it was a big game for both teams. They
3:13
Speaker 1: were five and five. It was a big playoff implication
3:15
Speaker 1: for that final wald card spot. But the forty nine
3:18
Speaker 1: Ers stayed true to what's gotten him this point, and
3:20
Speaker 1: that's a dominant run game. Yes, you could still win
3:22
Speaker 1: in this league, bump run in the football. The forty
3:25
Speaker 1: nine Ers are a great testament to that. They ran
3:27
Speaker 1: the ball thirty nine times for two hundred eight yards
3:30
Speaker 1: three teddies. Elijah Mitchell let all ball carries twenty seven carries,
3:34
Speaker 1: one hundred and thirty three yards in one touchdown. Deebo
3:38
Speaker 1: Samuel also added sixty six yards on six carries and
3:40
Speaker 1: two touchdowns, and Jimmy g Man, right, where do you
3:43
Speaker 1: expect him to be seventeen to twenty six two one
3:46
Speaker 1: and thirty yards one tedy one interception, very you know,
3:51
Speaker 1: just average right there, like good, good enough to win
3:54
Speaker 1: games exactly. I mean, he's not gonna hurt you, but
3:57
Speaker 1: he for the most part he did. Okay, rand and
3:59
Speaker 1: I let all verse ninety one yards on three receptions.
4:02
Speaker 1: The game was kind of close. It was fourteen to
4:04
Speaker 1: fourteen and a half and it's the forty nine ers
4:07
Speaker 1: in the third quarter went scoring twice in twenty two seconds.
4:11
Speaker 1: Samuel capped off the first drive with three yard touchdown
4:13
Speaker 1: as ziz alsha Year got an interception. On the next
4:16
Speaker 1: play from scrimmage, Mitchell ran in for a touchdown, so
4:20
Speaker 1: they kind of turned the game in that span. The
4:22
Speaker 1: Niners were pretty much in control the rest of the way.
4:25
Speaker 1: They did have an opportunity to dice the game with
4:27
Speaker 1: Robbie Goulddiegal. He missed it. Minnesota drive down the length
4:30
Speaker 1: of the field, got to the San Francisco thirty eight
4:32
Speaker 1: yard line before turning it over and down sealing the deal.
4:35
Speaker 1: The Niners crushed it in time possession thirty seven minutes
4:39
Speaker 1: to twenty three for the Vikings. Kirk Cousins was okay,
4:42
Speaker 1: twenty and thirty two, two thirty eight, two tities, one interception.
4:46
Speaker 1: More importantly, for the forty nine Ers, that win put
4:48
Speaker 1: him into the sixth playoff spot in the NFC bump.
4:52
Speaker 1: But let's look at these head to head numbers here.
4:54
Speaker 1: What have you seen from these forty nine ers since
4:56
Speaker 1: the last time the Seahawks played he Hawks and the
4:59
Speaker 1: forty nine is Obviously, the Hawks are three and eight.
5:01
Speaker 1: The forty nine Ers are riding high at six and five.
5:04
Speaker 1: Total offense, the Hawks are thirty first in the league,
5:06
Speaker 1: something that we're not used to seeing. The Niners are twelve.
5:09
Speaker 1: We talk about them running the football. I think that's
5:11
Speaker 1: a big reason why. Rush offense, the Hawks are twenty
5:14
Speaker 1: fifth and the forty Niners are six. Pass offensive Hawks
5:17
Speaker 1: are twenty six the forty Niners or sixteenth. And points
5:20
Speaker 1: per game the Hawks are scoring nineteen nine is twenty
5:23
Speaker 1: fifth and the forty nine Ers are scoring twenty five.
5:26
Speaker 1: When it comes to this defense, I think that's kind
5:27
Speaker 1: of the big difference. It's number might mess with you
5:29
Speaker 1: a little bit. Total defensive Hawks are thirty second, but
5:32
Speaker 1: we know they've been playing well. The forty nine ers
5:34
Speaker 1: are six against the run. The Hawks are twenty third,
5:36
Speaker 1: allowing one hundred and twenty four yards per game. The
5:39
Speaker 1: forty Niners or fourteenth to line one one hundred and
5:42
Speaker 1: eleven pass defense Hawks thirty first, and the forty nine
5:46
Speaker 1: Ers are six. This is where and how the Hawks
5:50
Speaker 1: standing game points allowed. The Hawks are tied for six
5:53
Speaker 1: allowing twenty points per game and the forty nine Ers
5:56
Speaker 1: are eleventh, allowing twenty two points per game. In receptions,
6:00
Speaker 1: both these teams have struggled to take the ball out
6:02
Speaker 1: the air when you look at other teams in the league.
6:05
Speaker 1: Both teams have five interceptions. You look at that penalties,
6:09
Speaker 1: Hawks one of the least least penalized team in league
6:12
Speaker 1: honestly with fifty nine and the forty nine Ers at
6:15
Speaker 1: sixty three. Think about this game is you just never
6:18
Speaker 1: really know we're gonna get into this. Know your history,
6:21
Speaker 1: but you know when this game goes down, it can
6:24
Speaker 1: go either way. Russell has had a lot of success
6:27
Speaker 1: against this against this team. Break it down, force nas
6:29
Speaker 1: No your history, No, your history, Yeah you mentioned it. Bump.
6:34
Speaker 1: Seattle leads the all time series twenty nine to seventeen.
6:37
Speaker 1: One to know in the postseason everyone knows what that
6:39
Speaker 1: game was. Russell Wilson, though, man a ton of success
6:43
Speaker 1: against these forty nine ers fifteen and four in his career,
6:46
Speaker 1: won the last three matchups. So that's dominant. I mean
6:49
Speaker 1: that is I don't care how you say that is.
6:51
Speaker 1: That is impressive. Russell Wilson has dominated this matchup against
6:55
Speaker 1: the forty nine ers. Last time the Seahawks played, the
6:57
Speaker 1: Seahawks went down at Santa Clair on October three, beat
7:00
Speaker 1: the Niners twenty eight to twenty one, and the Seahawks were,
7:04
Speaker 1: you know, they came off back to back lawsons and
7:06
Speaker 1: gets the Titans and Vikings just kind of got them
7:08
Speaker 1: back to center and proved a two and two on
7:11
Speaker 1: the year. They had to overcome those so start they
7:14
Speaker 1: gave up an eighty eight play seventy one yard touchdown
7:17
Speaker 1: drive to the forty nine Ers on the opening possession
7:19
Speaker 1: and then went three and out five straight possessions to
7:21
Speaker 1: start that game. But in the second quarter things kind
7:24
Speaker 1: of started to change for the Seahawks. That put it
7:26
Speaker 1: together a drive six plays eighty yards ending in a
7:29
Speaker 1: dk Metcalf twelve yard touchdown. Quandre Diggs got the first
7:32
Speaker 1: interception of the year at the time picking off Jimmy
7:35
Speaker 1: g and then a third quarter that's when Russ really
7:37
Speaker 1: started cooking Man. Russ led him on a seven play
7:40
Speaker 1: sixty six yard drive. Any when the sixteen yard touchdown
7:42
Speaker 1: run by Wilson if you remember that crazy run, plus
7:46
Speaker 1: right after that the forty nine Ers fumbled the ensuing kickoff.
7:49
Speaker 1: Seahawks were covered in two plays later, Russell showed that
7:51
Speaker 1: he still got it man crazy will to laugh escape
7:55
Speaker 1: the fumbles or a strip sack spun around, found Freddy
7:58
Speaker 1: Swain in the end zone for a thirteen yard touchdown,
8:01
Speaker 1: put the Seahawks up fourteen points, and that essentially kind
8:03
Speaker 1: of sealed the deal for that The forty nine Ers
8:06
Speaker 1: really a lot of times with Jimmy Ge. He got
8:08
Speaker 1: hurt his calf during that game, so he was pulled.
8:10
Speaker 1: Trey Lance came in and played most of that second half,
8:14
Speaker 1: but Russell didn't. He didn't light the world on fire
8:17
Speaker 1: in terms of stats, but he was efficient in sixteen
8:20
Speaker 1: to twenty three one hundred forty nine yards two touchdown.
8:23
Speaker 1: Also ran for a Teddy dk metcalf sixty five yards
8:27
Speaker 1: one touchdown. Alex Collins got his feet wet for the
8:29
Speaker 1: first time this year forty four yards and one touchdown
8:32
Speaker 1: on that and Quandre Dicks, who's been solid all season long,
8:35
Speaker 1: seven tackles, two pass defended, one interception, So if anything bumped,
8:39
Speaker 1: the Seahawks know these guys, they know the Seahawks. Pete
8:42
Speaker 1: Carroll know what Kyle Shanahan's about, what he wants to
8:44
Speaker 1: do offensively, vice versa, the same thing with Kyle Shanahan
8:47
Speaker 1: and the Seahawks. Seahawks had been fortunate to be pretty
8:50
Speaker 1: successful against the San Francisco forty nine Ers, and the
8:54
Speaker 1: Niners were playing good football. So it's gonna be a
8:55
Speaker 1: tough matchup. But I feel confident in the front that
8:58
Speaker 1: the Seahawks nowhere they're getting into. The real thing is
9:02
Speaker 1: what they can do when we get into matchups later on.
9:04
Speaker 1: But let's check in on the rest of the NEC West.
9:07
Speaker 1: What's the word the Seahawks or the NFC West champs again,
9:16
Speaker 1: what's the word in the West? On Hot Talk? What's
9:22
Speaker 1: the word? Arizona Corners are nine in two. That is
9:25
Speaker 1: the best record in the NFL. The Los Angeles Rams
9:28
Speaker 1: are right behind them at seven to four, and the
9:30
Speaker 1: forty nine is are six and five. Seattles at the
9:32
Speaker 1: bottom of the division at three and eight. Last week,
9:36
Speaker 1: the Rams played the Packers. The Rams started the season
9:39
Speaker 1: seven to one, but then they've really struggled the past
9:41
Speaker 1: couple of games. Last three games, they've lost all three
9:43
Speaker 1: of them. Something that stands out is Matthew Stafford is
9:46
Speaker 1: not taking care of the football like he used to.
9:47
Speaker 1: He's been intercepted five times, two of those going for touchdowns,
9:51
Speaker 1: and has lost one fumble. Prior to that, he only
9:53
Speaker 1: throw four interceptions in eight games now. The show down
9:56
Speaker 1: against the Packers was really competitive to start. After falling
9:58
Speaker 1: behind ten to zero, the Rams answered with a seventy
10:02
Speaker 1: nine yard bomb to Van Jefferson. The teams with then
10:05
Speaker 1: trade field goals and touchdowns and went to halftime twenty
10:08
Speaker 1: to seventeen. But in the third quarter it was all
10:11
Speaker 1: about the Packers. They scored seventeen straight points, extending their
10:14
Speaker 1: lead to thirty six to seventeen. Odell Beckham caught his
10:18
Speaker 1: first touchdown of the season. It was a fifty four
10:20
Speaker 1: yard pass from Matthew Stafford. It was a slanting go
10:23
Speaker 1: He hit the slam, put his head down, started digging
10:26
Speaker 1: finds him over the top. He finished the day with
10:28
Speaker 1: five receptions and eighty one yards one touchdown. Cooper cub
10:31
Speaker 1: does what he does seven receptions in ninety six yards.
10:34
Speaker 1: Stafford finished the day going twenty one to thirty eight,
10:36
Speaker 1: three hundred and two yards, three touchdowns and one interceptions.
10:39
Speaker 1: The ram will most likely get back on track this
10:42
Speaker 1: week because they're playing the team that people love to play,
10:45
Speaker 1: the Jacksonville Jaguars. Even though the Jack's got a couple
10:48
Speaker 1: good wins, you would expect the Rams to get this done. Yeah,
10:51
Speaker 1: you mentioned it, Stafford. That's shocking at he's not taking
10:54
Speaker 1: care of the football. Five touchdowns and shoot in three games,
10:56
Speaker 1: two of them are turning for touchdowns. So that's kind
10:59
Speaker 1: of theirs sh right now, they're turning the ball over.
11:00
Speaker 1: That Vanna defense that we knew all about last year
11:03
Speaker 1: is not holding teams to where we'd expect them to be.
11:06
Speaker 1: When they lost to the Titans, I was thinking, man,
11:07
Speaker 1: the Rams are so lucky either getting the Titans without
11:09
Speaker 1: Derek Henry, it didn't matter because they were turning the
11:11
Speaker 1: ball over. Titans get a big win. Forty nine ers
11:13
Speaker 1: just move the doors off. They couldn't. The Rams could
11:15
Speaker 1: not stop the run. And then last week the Packers
11:18
Speaker 1: were in control most of the way. So the Rams.
11:20
Speaker 1: The Rams are struggling a little bit, and you mentioned
11:21
Speaker 1: they're probably gonna get right against the Pack or exchieving
11:23
Speaker 1: against the Jaguars, So we'll keep monitoring that. Cardinals, they're
11:27
Speaker 1: coming off a bye week. They got the best record
11:30
Speaker 1: in nashvill football. We'd get nine in two and somehow
11:32
Speaker 1: survived whole month in November without Kyler Murray and DeAndre Hopkins.
11:36
Speaker 1: They went two and one in those games. But both
11:39
Speaker 1: Murray and Hopkins returned to practice today, so we expect
11:42
Speaker 1: them to be back out there, Bump, But I'll just
11:44
Speaker 1: quickly look at this playoffs standings like we matched the
11:48
Speaker 1: Cardinals at nine in two leading the NFC, then balled
11:51
Speaker 1: by the Packers, Bucks, Cowboys, Rams, Vikings, and Saints hold
11:55
Speaker 1: down that final playoff spot at five and five, so
11:57
Speaker 1: it'll be interesting, Bump. The Seahawks are not in intention
12:00
Speaker 1: at the moment. They're only two and a half out. Well,
12:02
Speaker 1: obviously a lot of teams should jump to get to
12:04
Speaker 1: that point, but right now, it's all about the Seahawks
12:06
Speaker 1: winning one game. It's about taking care of who's in
12:09
Speaker 1: front of you, and those guys are the San Francisco
12:12
Speaker 1: forty nine Ers. Let's take a look at these matchups.
12:15
Speaker 1: Who is this man up? Un Hawk Talk. First matchup,
12:27
Speaker 1: Jimmy g versus Seahawks defense. On the year, Jimmy is
12:30
Speaker 1: one eighty seven for two eighty for two thousand, three
12:33
Speaker 1: hundred forty two yards, three touchdown and six interceptions. He's
12:37
Speaker 1: been sacked eighteen times. He also has thirty carries for
12:40
Speaker 1: forty yards and has three rushing touchdowns. At this point,
12:43
Speaker 1: I think it's pretty clear who Jimmy is. All right.
12:46
Speaker 1: He's gonna complete around sixty seven percent of his passes.
12:48
Speaker 1: It's gonna work the middle of the field. He's prone
12:50
Speaker 1: for an occasionally turnover, but he usually does just enough
12:53
Speaker 1: for the forty nine Ers two win ball games. He's
12:56
Speaker 1: not gonna do anything Spectacler. He's not gonna have the
12:59
Speaker 1: Vince's Russell Russell Wilson plays. He's gonna do just enough.
13:02
Speaker 1: Jimmy G is one in four against the Seahawks. He's
13:05
Speaker 1: also been hurt two of those games. In the week
13:08
Speaker 1: four lost, Jimmy when fourteen to twenty three und sixty five,
13:11
Speaker 1: one touchdown in one interception. Defensively, the Seahawks are still
13:15
Speaker 1: near the bottom of the league in most categories, thirty
13:17
Speaker 1: second in total defense, thirty first against the past. However,
13:22
Speaker 1: they have been really good on the scoreboard. That is
13:24
Speaker 1: what we're banking on. The Hawks are tied for six
13:26
Speaker 1: in the NFL and points allowed, giving up twenty points
13:29
Speaker 1: per game, only allowed twenty six points or more three
13:33
Speaker 1: times this year. Contain Jimmy, allow him to be who
13:37
Speaker 1: he is. Don't give up any explosive plays. These dudes
13:40
Speaker 1: got a shot absolutely in Palm Moyer. If he was listening,
13:43
Speaker 1: he would say the exact same thing. You gotta make
13:45
Speaker 1: Jimmy get the ball outside. You gotta make Jimmy throw
13:49
Speaker 1: the ball outside of the numbers because he works in
13:51
Speaker 1: the middle of the field. That's what he does. He's
13:54
Speaker 1: not a big bomb guy. No one would ever compare
13:56
Speaker 1: his deep ball to Russell Wilson or anything like that.
13:59
Speaker 1: But he's efficient. He does just enough to keep his
14:01
Speaker 1: teams in games. So, like you mentioned, we know who
14:03
Speaker 1: Jimmy g is. It's now if the Seahawks can exploit that. Right,
14:08
Speaker 1: They've had enough games against Jimmy Garoppolo. He can't have
14:10
Speaker 1: a day where he's thrown for three hundred plus and
14:13
Speaker 1: the running backs and everyone else is getting busy, So
14:14
Speaker 1: try to keep Jimmy g in check there now, Bump
14:18
Speaker 1: this matchup. I mean, we could spend our whole show
14:20
Speaker 1: talking about this matchup right here. In my opinion, this
14:23
Speaker 1: is the biggest matchup of the game, and this is
14:24
Speaker 1: where the game will be decided. It's the forty down
14:27
Speaker 1: running backs first at Seahawks front seven. The forty nine
14:30
Speaker 1: ers do one thing extremely well, like we mentioned earlier,
14:33
Speaker 1: and it's running the football. There's six in the NFL
14:35
Speaker 1: and rushing averaging one hundred and thirty yards per game, however,
14:39
Speaker 1: and there's three game win streak though they're averaging one
14:41
Speaker 1: hundred and seventy eight yards per game. Against Minnesota thirty
14:45
Speaker 1: nine carries two hundred and five yards three touchdowns against
14:48
Speaker 1: Jacksonville forty two carries one hundred and seventy one yards
14:52
Speaker 1: one touchdown, verse the Rams forty four carries one hundred
14:55
Speaker 1: and fifty six yards in one touchdown and Bump. Honestly,
15:00
Speaker 1: when I look at them, it doesn't even to me,
15:01
Speaker 1: feels like it doesn't even really matter who's running the ball.
15:04
Speaker 1: Whoever they line up back there seems to have success.
15:07
Speaker 1: Whether it was Moster before he got hurt, whether it's
15:09
Speaker 1: Mitchell or Deep, whoever they put back their bump is
15:11
Speaker 1: running the football. And this is gonna be a huge
15:13
Speaker 1: matchup to see where the Seahawks if they're gonna show
15:17
Speaker 1: up in this category of the game, because the Rams
15:19
Speaker 1: go are achieve me the forty nine ers the last
15:21
Speaker 1: three weeks. Everyone knows what they want to do, but
15:22
Speaker 1: they're still able to do it. When you're running the
15:24
Speaker 1: ball forty two times, forty four times, thirty nine times,
15:28
Speaker 1: that means you're having success despite the other team knowing
15:30
Speaker 1: what you want to do. So this is gonna be
15:32
Speaker 1: a huge matchup for me. It's respectful running at forty
15:35
Speaker 1: four times not being able to stop it for a defense,
15:38
Speaker 1: that has to be frustrating. So this, you know, if
15:41
Speaker 1: I'm a Seahawks defender, I know what's gonna happen. I
15:43
Speaker 1: know what's going damn. You got to put your big
15:44
Speaker 1: boy pads on, feel your gaps and make open field
15:47
Speaker 1: tackles because they're going to one to run that rout
15:49
Speaker 1: the next matchup Seahawks back seven. That's the DB's and
15:53
Speaker 1: the LB's versus brand and I you George Kittle and
15:55
Speaker 1: Kyle You shit, the Seahaws are really catching a break
15:58
Speaker 1: with deep Little saying you man, he's not gonna play
16:00
Speaker 1: this week. Not only has he emerged in the run
16:01
Speaker 1: get in the past three weeks, he is one of
16:04
Speaker 1: the leading receivers in the league. He has fifty six
16:06
Speaker 1: receptions for a thousand yards and five touchdowns. He's a
16:09
Speaker 1: home run hitter. When he has a football in his hand,
16:11
Speaker 1: it feels like he can take it to the house
16:13
Speaker 1: every single time. Deebo is dangerous. You not have to
16:17
Speaker 1: deal You don't have to deal with that this week.
16:18
Speaker 1: So good for the Hawks, but brend and i Egu
16:20
Speaker 1: will still be there. He has thirty two receptions for
16:22
Speaker 1: four hundred thirty two yards and three touchdowns. His numbers
16:25
Speaker 1: aren't crazy, but he also has potential. George Kittle one
16:29
Speaker 1: of the best tight ends in the league. Thirty five receptions,
16:31
Speaker 1: four twenty five yards and three touchdowns. Now he can block,
16:36
Speaker 1: he can catch the run after the catch is grave.
16:39
Speaker 1: He does everything you want you're tight end to do.
16:42
Speaker 1: If you see eighty five out there, you better recognize
16:45
Speaker 1: where he is and get hands on them right now.
16:47
Speaker 1: Kyle's uschek. Yeah, he is He's a dying breed in
16:50
Speaker 1: this league. He's a dying breed. He plays a fullback position.
16:53
Speaker 1: Not a lot of teams are using these guys these days,
16:55
Speaker 1: but he finds ways to be productive. He has twenty
16:58
Speaker 1: one receptions for two hundred ten yards and one touchdown.
17:01
Speaker 1: They got some playmakers over there for the forty nine ers,
17:03
Speaker 1: no question about it, and you hit on it. I
17:05
Speaker 1: think this is another huge thing that Deebo Samuel was
17:08
Speaker 1: not going to play right, Debo. He's a fourth leading
17:11
Speaker 1: receiver in the National Football League, and the last three
17:13
Speaker 1: weeks Stave said, hey, you can run the football too,
17:15
Speaker 1: Let's put your back there. He has twenty five carries
17:18
Speaker 1: for two hundred and three yards in five touchdowns, when
17:21
Speaker 1: hundred and eighty nine of the yards have come the
17:23
Speaker 1: last three games. He's averaging eight point one yards to
17:26
Speaker 1: carry when he's running the football. We know where he
17:28
Speaker 1: came he as a pass catcher. So that's enormous for
17:31
Speaker 1: the Seahawks. That is you never wish ellen anybody, Debo.
17:34
Speaker 1: Heal up as quick as you can. I'm not sad
17:36
Speaker 1: that you're not healthy against the Seahawks on Sunday. And
17:40
Speaker 1: the other thing Kittle and use check Kittle every single
17:44
Speaker 1: time I put the film on. Every single time I
17:46
Speaker 1: put the film on, I'm looking at eighty five and
17:49
Speaker 1: he's driving somebody into the ground. He's making a move
17:52
Speaker 1: on a reception, and he's getting to the second level.
17:55
Speaker 1: He's taking linebackers, a defensive lineman and putting him in
17:58
Speaker 1: the ground. He is We've said it on this show
18:01
Speaker 1: for two years, three years now. He's the best tight
18:03
Speaker 1: end the Nashal Football League. Kelsey's gonna get all the yards.
18:06
Speaker 1: There's obviously a lot of great tight ends out there,
18:08
Speaker 1: but the premier tight end, if you could sketch one
18:11
Speaker 1: out or like this is what I want my tighten
18:13
Speaker 1: to look like and to do it would be George Kittle.
18:15
Speaker 1: He is an unbelievable football player, and he's a guy
18:18
Speaker 1: that that front seven they heads up and there that's
18:22
Speaker 1: Bens Maoa, Carlos Dunn, Lad Jordan Brooks, whoever's out there. Bobby,
18:25
Speaker 1: you need to be you need to bring it. Essentially,
18:27
Speaker 1: you gotta bring your lunch fail because he can go.
18:30
Speaker 1: He might be the most elusive tight end I've ever
18:32
Speaker 1: seen with the ball in his hands. I'm sitting here
18:34
Speaker 1: trying to think about, Okay, who has wiggle like George
18:37
Speaker 1: Kittle with the football, and he's saying at the tight
18:39
Speaker 1: end spot, I can't think of any like he's He's
18:42
Speaker 1: the new age tight end. This is what we're gonna
18:44
Speaker 1: start seeing these next few years, a bunch of George
18:46
Speaker 1: Kittles in this league. He's changing the game. Yeah, because
18:49
Speaker 1: when you think about tight ends over like Kelsey's great,
18:51
Speaker 1: and he's he's a great receiving tight end. He gets
18:54
Speaker 1: open runs, good routes. He's not he's not like joking guys.
18:58
Speaker 1: He's not breaking tackles the same way. And you think,
19:00
Speaker 1: I mean, it's hard to even think even across the time,
19:03
Speaker 1: whether it's the Tony Gonzalez of the world or the
19:05
Speaker 1: Antonio Gates just not the same. Kittos is built different, man,
19:09
Speaker 1: He's just built different because he can do both and
19:11
Speaker 1: he's physical. And I think you're right. When I think
19:13
Speaker 1: of George Kittle, I think it was two years ago
19:15
Speaker 1: They're playing the Saints and he had that crazy run
19:17
Speaker 1: where he's throwing people left and right. They're pulling his
19:20
Speaker 1: face mask, ripping his face. Matc Off got four guys
19:22
Speaker 1: carrying him on his back. Duds. A baller. Dude is
19:25
Speaker 1: a ball right his hope he doesn't ball out on Sunday,
19:28
Speaker 1: another match up. I want to take a look at
19:30
Speaker 1: his Nick Bosa and Dwayne Brown. So Dwayne Brown og
19:34
Speaker 1: been doing it for a long time in this game.
19:36
Speaker 1: Been playing good football for the Seahawks, especially as of late.
19:39
Speaker 1: But the fourteen year Vet's going to have his hands
19:41
Speaker 1: full with Bosa. Bosa is tied for fourth in the
19:44
Speaker 1: NFL with eleven sacks, thirty six tackles, two forced fumbles,
19:48
Speaker 1: one pass defended, sixteen one six tackles for loss. This
19:53
Speaker 1: dude is a maniac who will make life living hell
19:56
Speaker 1: for quarterbacks and offensive lineman in the Seahawks. It's got
20:00
Speaker 1: to contain him to have any kind of shot because
20:02
Speaker 1: no one is going to mess up a game quicker
20:04
Speaker 1: on that defense than Nick Bosa. Nick Bosa is a
20:10
Speaker 1: powerful and intense football player. When you look at that
20:14
Speaker 1: defensive line, every team would love a Nick Bosa is
20:18
Speaker 1: in his jeens. He's got brothers who do it as well.
20:21
Speaker 1: He I mean, he's just he's just a ball player.
20:23
Speaker 1: When you say the term like football player, like this
20:25
Speaker 1: guy's just a football player. Nick Bolsa fits under that category.
20:28
Speaker 1: That's a budget of things well and it's just super intense.
20:32
Speaker 1: Nick Bolsa is gonna be a tough onness. Yeah, no question.
20:34
Speaker 1: And you mentioned football players. The forty nine ers have
20:37
Speaker 1: three football players Kittle, Use Check Bosa. They all fit
20:42
Speaker 1: into that and something nice for the Seahawks. Again, Fred
20:45
Speaker 1: Warner is another one of those dudes, but he's also
20:47
Speaker 1: going to be out. And Warner leaves a team and
20:49
Speaker 1: tackles ninety two four TFLs, three passes, defending two fumble recoveries.
20:53
Speaker 1: So they got guys that want to be physical and
20:55
Speaker 1: they want to play the game the right way in
20:57
Speaker 1: terms of just that dynamic like you know, physical tackling,
21:02
Speaker 1: playing within the rules. Those guys they got good football players.
21:04
Speaker 1: So this will be a tough matchup for the Seahawks.
21:06
Speaker 1: But good thing for the Seahawks. They got some dudes too.
21:09
Speaker 1: They just need to play to their level that they're
21:11
Speaker 1: at cable above and this is gonna be a great matchup. Now, Bump,
21:14
Speaker 1: I put this last one on here. Seahawks offense first themselves.
21:19
Speaker 1: In my opinion, they have what they have, the tools,
21:22
Speaker 1: they have everything they need. They have the coaches. They
21:25
Speaker 1: just need to get out of their own way. Bump.
21:26
Speaker 1: Tell me, we've had this conversation, I feel like a
21:29
Speaker 1: lot in recent weeks, and we've seen little glimpses. If
21:33
Speaker 1: you could pick one thing for the Seahawks offense, what
21:36
Speaker 1: would that be that you want to see fixed going
21:38
Speaker 1: into this weekend game against the fort nine Ers. One
21:41
Speaker 1: thing you already know it third downs, Baby, you gotta
21:44
Speaker 1: convert on third downs. The Seahawks have forty three three
21:48
Speaker 1: and outs in one hundred and twenty two drives third downs.
21:51
Speaker 1: That has been a major issue. They're nine of sixty
21:54
Speaker 1: and third downs on third and seven or more, nine
21:57
Speaker 1: of sixty third and seven or more. So you pretty
21:59
Speaker 1: much saying, look, get these guys in third and seven.
22:01
Speaker 1: You got a chance for them to put the ball
22:03
Speaker 1: on the flip. They are thirty two point five percent
22:05
Speaker 1: on third downs on the year, thirty nine up twenty.
22:08
Speaker 1: Third downs have just been huge. If you want to
22:10
Speaker 1: be successful offense, you gotta be able to move the
22:12
Speaker 1: ball and have sustain long drives. If you don't convert
22:16
Speaker 1: third downs, those long drives will never happen. Yeah, absolutely,
22:20
Speaker 1: And I think I think it's it's got to be
22:24
Speaker 1: about them. You know, I think every team when you
22:26
Speaker 1: talk about obviously they're gonna watch an unbelieva about of film.
22:29
Speaker 1: They're gonna prepare. Everyone in this building is doing that.
22:32
Speaker 1: But sometimes it's about you. Sometimes it's not you, it's me. No,
22:35
Speaker 1: sometimes it's really about me. Right, if we got to
22:38
Speaker 1: look within, and I think because they're they have the
22:41
Speaker 1: talent on this roster and this coaching staff, they can
22:43
Speaker 1: get that done. They just need to stop hurting themselves.
22:46
Speaker 1: It's always something that breaks down that sets stuff up,
22:49
Speaker 1: whether it's missing an open guy or the wrong route,
22:51
Speaker 1: or dropping a ball or a miss something missed in protection,
22:55
Speaker 1: things like that. I think if they can get out
22:56
Speaker 1: of their own way and do what they do best
22:58
Speaker 1: and figure out what that is and then try to
23:00
Speaker 1: do that consistently, they can do it. We know you
23:03
Speaker 1: got DK Metcalf, You get Tyler Lockett, You know you
23:07
Speaker 1: got guys and get the ball to Joel Levitt, get
23:10
Speaker 1: the Joel LeVert is a beast man. Get in the ball.
23:13
Speaker 1: There's guys out there, Dwayne Brown, it's there. They just
23:15
Speaker 1: need to get out of their own way and find
23:17
Speaker 1: a rhythm. Find a rhythm. It's really hard to find
23:21
Speaker 1: a rhythm when you're on the field for three plays
23:23
Speaker 1: or when you run, you know, under sixty plays. As
23:26
Speaker 1: an offense, there's no way you can get into rhythm.
23:28
Speaker 1: So to your point, third downs, figuring out a way
23:30
Speaker 1: to stay on the field. I think that'll really help
23:32
Speaker 1: the Seahawks offense because they're gonna need it because the
23:34
Speaker 1: forty nine ers are playing good football. Get your ballers
23:38
Speaker 1: the football be great on third downs. You have a
23:40
Speaker 1: chance to win ball games. Here is the path to victory.
23:45
Speaker 1: At the forty five waits for the snaff, Michael Dickson
23:48
Speaker 1: puts it down. That kick is away. If that kick
23:51
Speaker 1: is gone, it's gone. It's a path to victory. On
23:57
Speaker 1: Hawk Talk, I mean pretty much what we just say,
24:00
Speaker 1: get out of your own way, all right, and you
24:02
Speaker 1: have to win time of possession. Don't even win it,
24:05
Speaker 1: but let's keep it close. Last week it was eighteen
24:07
Speaker 1: minutes to forty one minutes. I believe with the Wahington
24:09
Speaker 1: football team, just hold the ball, keep the ball in
24:12
Speaker 1: your hands, and let this defense rest on the sidelines.
24:14
Speaker 1: On defense, you have to get off the field. Now
24:17
Speaker 1: they've been playing well, right, they're not They're allowing teams
24:20
Speaker 1: only about twenty points per game. But if they are
24:23
Speaker 1: out there for fifteen play drive sixteen play drives, eventually
24:27
Speaker 1: they're gonna get tired. So possess the ball. Defense, get
24:30
Speaker 1: your butt off the field and offense, get out of
24:33
Speaker 1: your own way. You want to help with time possession bump,
24:36
Speaker 1: Then you gotta stop the run. The forty nine ers
24:39
Speaker 1: are not playing when it comes to run. They're gonna
24:41
Speaker 1: tell you, hey, we're gonna line up, We're gonna run
24:42
Speaker 1: this thing forty times. Are you gonna stop it? Just
24:45
Speaker 1: straight up? Are you gonna stop it? In? The Seahawks
24:48
Speaker 1: last week gave up their first hundred yard rusher since
24:50
Speaker 1: Week three. Antonia Gibson had one hundred and eleven yards
24:53
Speaker 1: last week, So the Seahawks are need to bring their
24:55
Speaker 1: lunch bails and be able to stop that run. Otherwise
24:57
Speaker 1: this can get ugly. The best way to adjusting time
25:00
Speaker 1: possession is getting off the football field and the other thing.
25:03
Speaker 1: Man make plays. Just need to make plays like you
25:07
Speaker 1: love seeing things. Last week, you love seeing Jamal get
25:09
Speaker 1: a pick because people are in the right spot. You'll
25:11
Speaker 1: see Freddy Sway make a big play. Love to see
25:14
Speaker 1: Tyler Lockett making a play. It's all about play. Your
25:17
Speaker 1: best players need to make big plays and we need
25:20
Speaker 1: game changing plays on both sides of the ball. That's
25:22
Speaker 1: taking the ball away. That's Dale Taylor getting sacks right,
25:25
Speaker 1: that's Jordan Brooks stopping the screen. That Sidney Jones keeping
25:29
Speaker 1: guys in front and breaking up passes. That DJ Read
25:31
Speaker 1: doing his job. You know, so I just need to
25:33
Speaker 1: see more plays, more game changing plays from the Seahawks playmakers.
25:37
Speaker 1: You gotta take care of the house, take care of
25:40
Speaker 1: home field. The Seahawks are one and four at Loumenfield
25:42
Speaker 1: this year. That is just not good enough. And you
25:44
Speaker 1: gotta play with some pride. The season is not going
25:47
Speaker 1: the way you thought it would go it this isn't
25:50
Speaker 1: but this is where we are. Play with some pride.
25:52
Speaker 1: Still makes some noise. Remember who you are and who
25:55
Speaker 1: was on this football team. Still enough to go out
25:58
Speaker 1: and win ball games. A bump, find a way to
