Speaker 1: our ten yard touchdown reception for Puppus and the kid
0:26
Speaker 1: out of Washington State has found himself a place on
0:29
Speaker 1: this team powered by Seahawks dot Com. What, folks, this
0:34
Speaker 1: is Michael Bumpus and you're listening to Hawk Talk to
0:36
Speaker 1: recap edition. Unfortunately, the Seahawks fall to the Cardinals twenty
0:40
Speaker 1: seven to thirteen. But folks, it doesn't change anything. They
0:43
Speaker 1: can still win the NFC West. So let's get some
0:46
Speaker 1: positivity going out here at twelves. Like usual, we're gonna
0:49
Speaker 1: start off the episode by talking to the big guy,
0:52
Speaker 1: Ray Roberts. How you doing, Ray, I'm doing pretty good, buddy.
0:55
Speaker 1: Getting ready for the holidays. Have a little family time,
0:58
Speaker 1: little downtime. Here we go, Here you go. You got
1:00
Speaker 1: all your shopping done? Everything's good, ready to go. I
1:03
Speaker 1: don't even have to do like a few literal emergency
1:05
Speaker 1: runs today. But for the most part, yeah, you better
1:08
Speaker 1: than me. I'm last minute. I'll be at the mall
1:10
Speaker 1: a little later. So let's get into this game. Man,
1:13
Speaker 1: what do you think was the biggest factor in yesterday's loss?
1:17
Speaker 1: You know what, I was for the first time, Like
1:20
Speaker 1: you normally don't see a Pete Carroll team do something
1:25
Speaker 1: like this, but I almost think that they were. They
1:29
Speaker 1: were probably looking past this game a little bit. Not
1:33
Speaker 1: that they were like thinking they were gonna roll their
1:35
Speaker 1: helmets out there and win the football game, but I
1:38
Speaker 1: think that they, you know, obviously know there's a lot
1:40
Speaker 1: ride on that last game with the forty nine ers,
1:42
Speaker 1: and I honestly think they they may have lost a
1:45
Speaker 1: little focus a little bit, even though they started out
1:47
Speaker 1: the game like gamebusters. I mean, the officers went right
1:50
Speaker 1: down the field, got a touchdown, everything was great. But
1:53
Speaker 1: then nothing happened after that until the Cardinals came here,
1:58
Speaker 1: you know, pretty much for nothing to lose. They're they're
2:00
Speaker 1: kind of the super Bowl for them. They could be
2:02
Speaker 1: smaller to a couple of teams and things, and so
2:05
Speaker 1: they just they just came up here and just just
2:07
Speaker 1: seemed to have a little bit more of an edge
2:09
Speaker 1: than we had. I saw your tweet on Jamarco Jones.
2:12
Speaker 1: You're saying you're still behind the young man. You think
2:14
Speaker 1: that he could right his wrongs um after this past week. Absolutely, man, Like,
2:19
Speaker 1: I've been in that position before, and like you know,
2:21
Speaker 1: sometimes you know, young guys will have a bad game
2:24
Speaker 1: and everybody want to write them off or call him
2:27
Speaker 1: trash or whatever. But man, that's just part of the process. Man. Like,
2:30
Speaker 1: I've had that type of game before where you just
2:32
Speaker 1: can't seem to get anything right. And I was a
2:35
Speaker 1: young guy playing against some veteran dudes. His name was
2:37
Speaker 1: actually Anthony Smith from the Raiders. Actually got benched. It
2:40
Speaker 1: was like my rookie year, and they they sat me
2:43
Speaker 1: down for like a quarter and then a second quarter,
2:45
Speaker 1: and I came back in a second half. But but
2:48
Speaker 1: you have those types of games, and those games you
2:50
Speaker 1: can you grow from. And he's athletic enough, he's a
2:53
Speaker 1: good enough football player. I think he's gonna be around
2:55
Speaker 1: for a long time. Uh that he just needs to
2:57
Speaker 1: correct some some technical things and I think he'll be
3:00
Speaker 1: right now. The Hawks loss Chris Carson for the year
3:03
Speaker 1: um as a fracture in his hip. How big is
3:06
Speaker 1: that loss? And do you think that Travis Homer and
3:10
Speaker 1: whoever else they bring in is going to be able
3:11
Speaker 1: to fill that void? You know what this is like
3:15
Speaker 1: as an offensive lineman like this is almost like an
3:18
Speaker 1: offensive lineman's dream, this situation to see officer in because
3:23
Speaker 1: the success of this season is resting squarely on the
3:26
Speaker 1: shoulders of the offensive line as it relates to the offense,
3:30
Speaker 1: because it doesn't matter who they put back there, whatever
3:32
Speaker 1: back they find to bring in or sign, and with
3:35
Speaker 1: Travis Homer, uh and then also protecting Russell Wilson, it
3:39
Speaker 1: is going to be able to then offensive line room
3:40
Speaker 1: to man up, buckle up, strap it on, and then
3:43
Speaker 1: go out there and put this offense from the back
3:45
Speaker 1: on their backs and make it happen. Create some holes
3:48
Speaker 1: running lanes for the running backs, create some protection for
3:51
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson and h and really take on that challenge.
3:55
Speaker 1: They've been a strength, a positive for this team for
3:59
Speaker 1: the last couple years and right now it's time for
4:02
Speaker 1: them to really uh create a reputation, earn their keeth
4:06
Speaker 1: if you want to call it that uh and really
4:08
Speaker 1: go out and take over this game and take over
4:10
Speaker 1: the rest of the season and just put put the
4:12
Speaker 1: success on their on their backs and run with it.
4:15
Speaker 1: Now there they're rumors going around that Marshawn Lynch could
4:18
Speaker 1: sign with the Seattle Seahouse. What do you think his
4:21
Speaker 1: presence will do to this offense? Well, I think it
4:24
Speaker 1: will galvanize the locker room a little bit. The dude
4:27
Speaker 1: just has a there's something about him. He just it
4:29
Speaker 1: doesn't matter, uh, you know, when he comes to a
4:31
Speaker 1: team or how he gets to the team, he has
4:34
Speaker 1: this it factor just kind of galvanizes everybody, gets everyone
4:37
Speaker 1: pumped up. I'm sure some of the fans will be
4:40
Speaker 1: excited to have him back and uh, you know, anything
4:42
Speaker 1: you can get out of him, Like, you can't count
4:44
Speaker 1: that dude out. He's just a different type of dude.
4:47
Speaker 1: And so I think he can come in, give you
4:49
Speaker 1: a handful of carries and you know, fell Homer, I
4:53
Speaker 1: think for a little bit, and then just see what
4:55
Speaker 1: you can get out of him. Man, Like you just
4:57
Speaker 1: never know, you never know what that dude because he's
5:00
Speaker 1: just a different cat than most guys. I'm excited about it,
5:04
Speaker 1: Like I got excited just watching people tweet about it
5:07
Speaker 1: last night. And uh and so the fact that, uh,
5:11
Speaker 1: I think he may be coming to town from physical
5:13
Speaker 1: or something gets me even more excited. So you know,
5:16
Speaker 1: anything will help. You're gonna have to have somebody back there,
5:19
Speaker 1: and uh so why not have march On Lynch. Now
5:22
Speaker 1: I'm with you. I'm excited as well. So let's let's
5:24
Speaker 1: talk about the other side of the ball, the defensive
5:26
Speaker 1: side of the ball. Um Quandre Diggs didn't play, Jadavion
5:29
Speaker 1: didn't play. How big was that was? Not having those
5:33
Speaker 1: two guys out there? How big was that impact? Well?
5:36
Speaker 1: I think it. I think it was a big It
5:38
Speaker 1: was a big bill. Uh. And then not having al
5:40
Speaker 1: Woods either, like get in the middle of the defense
5:42
Speaker 1: because they were getting some pretty good movement there. I
5:45
Speaker 1: don't know if uh, you know, Reid and Jefferson and
5:48
Speaker 1: those other guys in the middle need to bone up
5:51
Speaker 1: the middle of that that defensive line a little bit there'
5:54
Speaker 1: there's too much space to run. Obviously, the big eighty
5:57
Speaker 1: eighty four eighties plus yard touchdown run wasn't really cool
6:01
Speaker 1: to see. You never see that that type of stuff
6:03
Speaker 1: against the Seahawks, But uh, you know they just didn't
6:06
Speaker 1: seem to have I don't want to say they didn't
6:08
Speaker 1: have the energy. It just seemed that, like um, I
6:11
Speaker 1: think Dave Wyman said it, in the chest match of
6:14
Speaker 1: offense versus defense, it seemed as if the Cardinals kept
6:18
Speaker 1: making the right move. Uh. So, like even on an
6:22
Speaker 1: eighty four yard touchdown run, it looked like Kendrickson and
6:26
Speaker 1: Wagner were blitzing on the backside and they they hit
6:29
Speaker 1: the plate on the front side, and so then there
6:32
Speaker 1: was there was only like two or three defenders over
6:34
Speaker 1: there against three or four or five guys that they
6:36
Speaker 1: were pulling on that play. And uh, and so it
6:39
Speaker 1: just it just happened to be the perfect play call
6:41
Speaker 1: against the defense that they had called. And so it
6:44
Speaker 1: just seemed like they kept getting hits like that all
6:47
Speaker 1: all day long. And so, uh, to be honest, who's
6:50
Speaker 1: thought it was like this game was like me trying
6:53
Speaker 1: to cook. It was a disaster. You know, like like
6:57
Speaker 1: like if you if you ever saw me try to
7:00
Speaker 1: cook anything, I don't care if it's toast, the kitchen
7:02
Speaker 1: is gonna be an absolute mess. And that's what this
7:05
Speaker 1: game was. And so it's one of those games and
7:08
Speaker 1: fans I don't always like to hear it where you
7:10
Speaker 1: just go, you know what, We're gonna dig a hole
7:12
Speaker 1: and bury the taste, and we're never gonna look at it,
7:15
Speaker 1: and we're gonna put our focus on the San Francisco
7:18
Speaker 1: forty nine ers. We still have something to play for.
7:21
Speaker 1: It's the end of the season, you know, I said
7:23
Speaker 1: last night, I've been on a lot of teams where
7:26
Speaker 1: at this time of the year, the only thing we're
7:28
Speaker 1: playing for is who can get to the airport faster
7:31
Speaker 1: to get home, Like that's all we're that's all we're
7:33
Speaker 1: playing for. And these dudes are playing for an opportunity
7:36
Speaker 1: to possibly have a playoff game here at Central lank
7:40
Speaker 1: and you're still you're still in the mix to get
7:43
Speaker 1: to the super Bowl. So I'm still excited. It's a
7:45
Speaker 1: little disappointing that the game didn't go the way you'd
7:48
Speaker 1: wanted to go, but there's no reason to panic, there's
7:50
Speaker 1: no reason to sign them off. And as long as
7:52
Speaker 1: you have Russell Wilson, Bobby Wagner and Pete Carroll, you're
7:56
Speaker 1: gonna have a chance. Yeah, I feel you. I'm glad
7:59
Speaker 1: that you asked us and calmed us down, because they
8:02
Speaker 1: still have an NFC West that they could win. They're
8:06
Speaker 1: in the playoffs, they got big things ahead. So I
8:08
Speaker 1: appreciate the wise words of Ray Roberts. Ray, thanks for
8:12
Speaker 1: taking time out of your busy day to holler at us.
8:15
Speaker 1: So I appreciate a big married persons, Buddy, happy, happy holidays.
8:18
Speaker 1: I hope your family's selling better, Sammy, you and yours
8:20
Speaker 1: man appreciate you. See all right, We're gonna move along
8:25
Speaker 1: to our main takeaways. What did we take away from
8:28
Speaker 1: this game? The Seahawks were beating the all phases of
8:30
Speaker 1: the game against the Cardinals. But nas, it is what
8:34
Speaker 1: it is. This is the NFL. They're gonna be days
8:36
Speaker 1: like this. No one wins every single game. Only one
8:39
Speaker 1: team has done that in NFL history. Yep, yep, and
8:41
Speaker 1: you know other than the Dolphins and the Patriots even
8:43
Speaker 1: lost in Super that one time. I mean, it's it's
8:46
Speaker 1: hard for me. I've had to challenge myself. Listening to
8:48
Speaker 1: Pete Carroll this morning, he's really it's been like a
8:49
Speaker 1: therapy session for me because after the game, it's like,
8:53
Speaker 1: you know, you lose Carson, you lose pro Sie. Dwayne
8:56
Speaker 1: Brown had surgery this morning, so you're like it's easy
8:59
Speaker 1: to bummed out. The game did not go away in
9:02
Speaker 1: any phase of the game, but that's it. Just like pizza,
9:05
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. The coaches were done with yesterday's game
9:07
Speaker 1: at eight o'clock. Everything's towards the Niners because everything is
9:09
Speaker 1: still in front of us. So no, I feel good.
9:12
Speaker 1: I feel a lot better now, you know what I'm saying. Yeah,
9:13
Speaker 1: I do feel better. The drive up here was it
9:15
Speaker 1: kind of sucked. But now yeah, I'm all right, Yeah
9:17
Speaker 1: we're good now, feel good now. Russell Wilson was sacked
9:20
Speaker 1: five times and took a beating. They gotta protect this
9:22
Speaker 1: man though, They gotta keep him up right, No, Russell
9:24
Speaker 1: Wilson no chance of winning. Yeah, pretty much. Russell's the
9:27
Speaker 1: guy obviously, everything the key to what we do offensively.
9:29
Speaker 1: And yeah, it was just a tough day. I mean,
9:31
Speaker 1: Ray kind of spoke to a little bit. You had
9:33
Speaker 1: Jamarco Jones out there, who's played really well first at
9:35
Speaker 1: times this year and at times played really well yesterday.
9:38
Speaker 1: It was just tough. They Chandler Jones has like nineteen
9:41
Speaker 1: sacks man. The dude is a monster. We saw that yesterday.
9:45
Speaker 1: So I think those are things they can get cleaned up.
9:47
Speaker 1: But it definitely has happened because Russell can't getting hit
9:49
Speaker 1: that much. Yep, another techaway. After the first drive, the
9:53
Speaker 1: Hawks went on him punt punt, punt, punt, and a
9:56
Speaker 1: half fumble, a couple more punts. Just couldn't get that
9:58
Speaker 1: offense going. And I think that's predicated on just all
10:02
Speaker 1: the missing and moving pieces. And I think Ray hit
10:04
Speaker 1: it on the head. It seems like the Cardinals just
10:07
Speaker 1: had every answer to the test, Like whatever the Hawks did,
10:10
Speaker 1: there was a counter for it, and they were calling
10:12
Speaker 1: blitz is at the right time. It just seemed like
10:14
Speaker 1: they were one move ahead of the Hawks all day. Yeah,
10:16
Speaker 1: it was tough man. And then I think when you
10:18
Speaker 1: lose process and you lose Carson and the Homer. I mean,
10:21
Speaker 1: obviously they're really high on Homer, and I think Homer
10:23
Speaker 1: can be a really good football player. But that's tough man.
10:26
Speaker 1: That's tough to now step in that situation where you're
10:28
Speaker 1: getting all the reps and you would know this bump
10:31
Speaker 1: when you're when you're now asked to play a lot
10:33
Speaker 1: on offense, when you're on all the other special teams.
10:35
Speaker 1: I mean, it's a lot to handle for a young kid.
10:37
Speaker 1: And also when you get behind and you're playing from behind,
10:40
Speaker 1: the whole everything got out of whack. I mean, coaches
10:42
Speaker 1: talked about all the time, right, don't get behind the sticks,
10:45
Speaker 1: and it felt like they were behind the sticks the
10:47
Speaker 1: entire afternoon, behind the sticks, and they were like one
10:49
Speaker 1: for twelve on third downs. You know, it's just you
10:53
Speaker 1: can't go one for twelve on third downs. You can't
10:55
Speaker 1: give up long drives like they did. They got it
10:57
Speaker 1: close within seven, but then gave up a nine place
11:00
Speaker 1: seventy eight yard um touchdown. It's it was just it
11:04
Speaker 1: was like a bad dream. Everything that could go wrong
11:06
Speaker 1: went wrong. Both sides goes down, Carson goes down, Dwayne's
11:10
Speaker 1: not there, Potty had a stinger, she kills out. Jamarco
11:16
Speaker 1: didn't have his greatest game. He finally looked like a rookie,
11:19
Speaker 1: like a young guy, you know. So, um, it was
11:21
Speaker 1: just the perfect storm, man. And these podcasts are the
11:25
Speaker 1: hardest to do because internally we know that they're gonna
11:29
Speaker 1: be okay. Of course, like we really feel they're gonna
11:31
Speaker 1: be okay. We're not making it up. We're not just
11:33
Speaker 1: trying to be homers, you know, but it is real
11:35
Speaker 1: we know they're gonna be okay. We've seen it happen
11:37
Speaker 1: in this building. It was just a tough day, man,
11:38
Speaker 1: tough day. And with all that being said, they're still
11:40
Speaker 1: playing for the division on Sunday, got flex of Sunday
11:43
Speaker 1: Night Football, So make sure you guys tune in and
11:46
Speaker 1: watch the Hawks get this done. So now we're gonna
11:48
Speaker 1: move along to our top performers. We're gonna start with
11:51
Speaker 1: with Sheen Green had six tackles, one pass defense, one
11:54
Speaker 1: tackle for a loss. I like seeing where this guy
11:58
Speaker 1: is going. He start off the season really good, kind
12:00
Speaker 1: of disappeared for a bid, but as of late he's
12:03
Speaker 1: been coming around and making a lot of players. I
12:04
Speaker 1: love what Green is doing. He's just consistent. Man, He's
12:06
Speaker 1: been consistently good in the run game. He's been consistently Yeah,
12:10
Speaker 1: he's just no, you're good. He's just been. It's just
12:12
Speaker 1: one of those things where you watch him and it's
12:14
Speaker 1: great to see a young guy like that in his
12:15
Speaker 1: second year really maturing. He's great in the run game,
12:18
Speaker 1: and he's had two block field goals, I mean, and
12:20
Speaker 1: the one yesterday he could have blocked that with his chest.
12:23
Speaker 1: I mean, he came through got skinny, did exactly what
12:25
Speaker 1: you're supposed to do, and that was I thought that
12:27
Speaker 1: was going to be the spark the Seahawks needed yesterday.
12:29
Speaker 1: I always say he just just couldn't quite get over the hump.
12:31
Speaker 1: But it's great to see a young man like Rashie
12:33
Speaker 1: Green getting after it and Green getner done. Also, Bobby
12:36
Speaker 1: Wagner left the team with thirteen tackles, one sec, two
12:39
Speaker 1: tackles for loss, one QB hit. Has there been a
12:41
Speaker 1: game where he hasn't been in double digits. I don't
12:43
Speaker 1: think so. I think he. I mean, that's just it's
12:46
Speaker 1: Bobby Wagner. So when you look at the stat line,
12:48
Speaker 1: when you look at stats, you know, if Wagner's playing,
12:50
Speaker 1: he's gonna be double digit tackles. And to me personally,
12:52
Speaker 1: I thought that was one of the best games he
12:54
Speaker 1: played all year, even though he had the ankle injury.
12:56
Speaker 1: He just kind of looked explosive. He looked like he
12:58
Speaker 1: was coming downhill and making players. So it always great
13:00
Speaker 1: to se from Bobby b Wags get it done. Also,
13:02
Speaker 1: a Kim King had three tackles, two pass defenses and
13:05
Speaker 1: did a good job filling in for Shaquille Griffin and
13:08
Speaker 1: that's a tall task. He's having the best year of
13:11
Speaker 1: his career. Maybe Shaquille Griffin and Kim King has typically
13:15
Speaker 1: been playing in that nickel spot in the inside with
13:17
Speaker 1: a little more or less space to cover. So for
13:19
Speaker 1: him to come out and play a decent game is
13:22
Speaker 1: encouraging for sure. Yeah. The great thing, like you said,
13:24
Speaker 1: he had a couple of past defense and the cool
13:25
Speaker 1: thing about it too is other than the place you
13:27
Speaker 1: saw him make, you weren't saying his name, which a
13:30
Speaker 1: lot of times as a corner. That's a good thing
13:32
Speaker 1: where not people aren't worried about you. You're not giving
13:33
Speaker 1: a big plays. There may have been one ball caught
13:36
Speaker 1: in front of him, I don't know if that actually
13:37
Speaker 1: even happened. So he's playing lights out yep. Jacob Hollister,
13:41
Speaker 1: mister consistent five receptions for sixty four yards. I think
13:45
Speaker 1: they found their tight end. Obviously there's still Luke when
13:48
Speaker 1: Dizzy gets healthy, but Jacob has done a great jaw
13:52
Speaker 1: filling in. Yeah. I mean he's just a great weapon.
13:55
Speaker 1: I mean he has now become your go to receiver
13:57
Speaker 1: in that tight end room. All right, here's the even
14:00
Speaker 1: round up. We just talk about Hollister had five catches
14:02
Speaker 1: for sixty four yards. Travis Holmer had six catches for
14:05
Speaker 1: twenty six, Malik Turner had one cat for twenty three,
14:09
Speaker 1: David Moore had one for twenty one, Chris Carson had
14:11
Speaker 1: one cast for twenty, Tyler Lockett one cast for twelve,
14:15
Speaker 1: and Nick Bollore had the loan touchdown thrown by Russell Wilson.
14:19
Speaker 1: He had one cast for three yards in touchdown. DK
14:22
Speaker 1: Metcalf only had one target that game. Yeah, bump. When
14:26
Speaker 1: you look at this receiver round up that we do
14:28
Speaker 1: every week, the most shocking thing is to see Tyler
14:32
Speaker 1: Lockett and DK Metcalf with one reception between the two
14:36
Speaker 1: of them. And also, this is the crazy thing Tyler Lockett.
14:39
Speaker 1: Usually when you look at this, you go and Tyler
14:41
Speaker 1: Locket game, he'll have seven receptions one hundred and ten
14:44
Speaker 1: yards in a touchdown on eight targets. Yeah, but you
14:48
Speaker 1: look at this today, and granted some of these are
14:50
Speaker 1: late in the game, that's kind of hail Mary type stuff.
14:52
Speaker 1: But to see one reception in eight targets is just
14:55
Speaker 1: is kind of stopped shocking to me. Yeah, and that's
14:57
Speaker 1: a stat right there again that reassures me that this
15:01
Speaker 1: was just a bad day. Yeah, he doesn't get eight
15:03
Speaker 1: targets and I get one reception that you said it right.
15:06
Speaker 1: If he gets eight targets, he's probably getting seven catches yea.
15:08
Speaker 1: And I wouldn't be surprised if he goes eight for eight.
15:10
Speaker 1: So it was just one of those days for the Seahawks.
15:14
Speaker 1: And when Tyler Lockett is not putting up numbers decays
15:16
Speaker 1: and not putting up numbers, it's gonna be a rough day.
15:19
Speaker 1: So now we're gonna go to the coaches corner. Russell
15:22
Speaker 1: Wilson finds Nick Belord for a three yard touchdown. I
15:26
Speaker 1: backs behind Russell first in gold play fake dumping over
15:30
Speaker 1: the top catches made touchdown Seahawks. A three yard touchdown
15:36
Speaker 1: reception by Nick floor to fullback almost never used offensively
15:42
Speaker 1: except to flock. This time comes out of the backfield,
15:45
Speaker 1: runs to the front corner of the end zone, and
15:48
Speaker 1: Russell laser right up over the top, and the Seahawks,
15:51
Speaker 1: for the second week in a row, have scored the
15:54
Speaker 1: first time they have the ball. Yeah, what I like
15:57
Speaker 1: about this place. Typically when they do their play action,
15:59
Speaker 1: when the Sea through their plash and say they they
16:02
Speaker 1: fake the handoff right and they usually roll out and
16:04
Speaker 1: look backside. This play right here, they go to the
16:07
Speaker 1: play side. Looks like a lead lead stress play right there.
16:10
Speaker 1: Russell fakes it to Chris Carson, but Lord does a
16:13
Speaker 1: great job. He chips the end, sells the run, and
16:16
Speaker 1: then floats into the end zone. Nice little touch pass
16:18
Speaker 1: over the top. People. I think people take you for
16:20
Speaker 1: granted how hard that throw is, because you could easily
16:23
Speaker 1: that they can get away from him, and Russell just
16:25
Speaker 1: dropped a nice little dime over the top. Belo a
16:27
Speaker 1: fullback use his hands and cut the rock well, and
16:29
Speaker 1: it's yeah, you're right. It is a short route and
16:31
Speaker 1: that's one you can easily airmail or throw it down
16:33
Speaker 1: at his feet. But like you mentioned it, he Chandler
16:35
Speaker 1: Jones is the guy he chipped there, So that's a
16:37
Speaker 1: big one to really sell the to sell the run
16:39
Speaker 1: fake and then go out and catch it in the flat.
16:41
Speaker 1: And it's good to see man Nick Blore's a jack
16:43
Speaker 1: of ball. Trades the man us to play linebacker really okay,
16:46
Speaker 1: And then he moved over he's playing fullback now. I
16:49
Speaker 1: think he's I think he's had a bunch of tackles
16:51
Speaker 1: in his career he's had a sack, he's now caught
16:53
Speaker 1: a touch. I mean, Nick Bloor's a jack of ball trades.
16:55
Speaker 1: He's a great special teams guy. So it's good to
16:57
Speaker 1: see the fullback getting get a little love, you know.
16:58
Speaker 1: And and you said the well back that's a dying
17:01
Speaker 1: breed exactly. So to see to see at number forty
17:03
Speaker 1: something and hitting in the end zone is lovely. So
17:06
Speaker 1: the best thing what do we learn from this? All Right?
17:08
Speaker 1: Everything is still in play. You win this week, the
17:10
Speaker 1: Hawks win the NFC West. In all this world, I
17:13
Speaker 1: think the hardest part is gonna be for us, for
17:15
Speaker 1: the fans, for the media, it's just enduring this week
17:19
Speaker 1: and turning on other networks and seeing them just trash
17:22
Speaker 1: the Hawk. They've already been trashing the Hawks all year,
17:24
Speaker 1: so they're gonna go in on him this week. Yeah.
17:26
Speaker 1: When I got home after our postgame show yesterday and
17:28
Speaker 1: turned on Sports Center, I'm just like, here we go
17:31
Speaker 1: and then the whole doom and gloom. And they're not
17:33
Speaker 1: as close as the team obviously as me and you are.
17:36
Speaker 1: Anyone listening to this podcast who follows his team lives
17:38
Speaker 1: the breeds and dies with this team. So we know
17:40
Speaker 1: the guys in that locker room and encouraging stuff from
17:43
Speaker 1: Pete Today. He thinks JD's gonna come back to Devin Clowney.
17:46
Speaker 1: He thinks Shaquille Griffin could come back. Diggs is still
17:49
Speaker 1: gonna be a toss up. But if you have those guys.
17:51
Speaker 1: We saw what Clowney did against the forty nine ers
17:53
Speaker 1: the first time. Yeah. Yeah. And then it's the leadership.
17:56
Speaker 1: You got Pete Carroll, there's one championships in college, he's
18:00
Speaker 1: done it in the NFL. Do you have Russell Wilson,
18:02
Speaker 1: the most positive and maybe mentally tough dude that I've
18:05
Speaker 1: ever met. You got those two guys leading the charge.
18:08
Speaker 1: It has to filter throughout the locker room. So I'm
18:12
Speaker 1: encouraged by just having those two guys in the building alone.
18:16
Speaker 1: Of course, you need confidence like that, and those two
18:19
Speaker 1: leaders are definitely I would not if I had to
18:21
Speaker 1: put if I had to put more from my house,
18:24
Speaker 1: I would want those two to be in charge it
18:26
Speaker 1: because those are the guys that are just rock solid. Yes, sir,
18:28
Speaker 1: it's time to shock the world. Let's go twelve, stand tall,
18:32
Speaker 1: be positive. Nimes are coming into town. Primetime football. They'll
18:35
Speaker 1: get it done. It's been real. It's Michael Bombas along
18:38
Speaker 1: with my producer Nasa Troby. This is Hawk Talk recap aetition.
18:41
Speaker 1: The Hawks fall to the Cardinals, but they can still
18:43
Speaker 1: win the NFC West. Well, I'll let you next time.
18:46
Speaker 1: Thanks for listening. A moment in sin it clim
