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. Welcome to Hawk
0:34
Speaker 1: Talk Preview Edition Week seven. I'm Michael Bumps along with
0:37
Speaker 1: Nasa Chobe. The Seahawks take on the New Orleans Saints
0:40
Speaker 1: on Monday Night football. Speaking of the Saints, let's talk
0:45
Speaker 1: about what's on tap? What's on tapp? What is on tap?
0:53
Speaker 1: The Hawks are trying to bounce back from a disappointing
0:57
Speaker 1: loss in New Orleans. Saints are three and two. They win,
1:00
Speaker 1: they lose, they win, they lose, and they win their
1:02
Speaker 1: last winners against the Washington football team. They were lost
1:05
Speaker 1: excoosebe one thirty three to twenty two. The Saints are
1:08
Speaker 1: coming off a buy and are well rested. We should
1:11
Speaker 1: expect a big game from these guys on Monday Night.
1:13
Speaker 1: They know what the deal is. They started off the
1:16
Speaker 1: season with an impressive win against Aaron Rodgers and the Packers,
1:19
Speaker 1: but some shady losses, lose to the Panthers and the Giants.
1:24
Speaker 1: I don't know what to think about this football team
1:26
Speaker 1: right now. You got Jamis Winston who's having an old
1:29
Speaker 1: ka season. A last game he was fifteen to thirty
1:31
Speaker 1: two y seventy nine yards, four touchdowns, one interception. But
1:34
Speaker 1: he's also shown that he can look really mediocre. Nask
1:37
Speaker 1: these Saints. You gotta take him seriously. You take every
1:39
Speaker 1: opponent seriously. What are your thoughts on these Saints? Yeah,
1:42
Speaker 1: you hit the nail on the head. It's hard. It's
1:44
Speaker 1: hard to decide because I mean, they come out and
1:46
Speaker 1: they smack Aaron Rodgers and the Packers thirty eight to three.
1:48
Speaker 1: Put a beat down on him. He had everyone concerned
1:51
Speaker 1: that all the time they Aaron Rodgers missed is affecting
1:54
Speaker 1: his team and the Packers are gonna go into the tank.
1:56
Speaker 1: That was not the case because the Packers have looked
1:58
Speaker 1: great since that game. And then the Saints followed that
2:00
Speaker 1: up with a twenty six to seven beat down at
2:02
Speaker 1: the hands of the Carolina Panthers, who have been up
2:04
Speaker 1: and down as well this year. So, you know, another
2:07
Speaker 1: win against the Patriots. Patriots an okay football team, and
2:10
Speaker 1: then they collapsed against the Giants. I mean they've been
2:12
Speaker 1: their defenses played really well this year, their secondaries played well,
2:15
Speaker 1: but they kind of fell apart against the Giants. And
2:17
Speaker 1: then they get a win over Washington, Who's another team
2:19
Speaker 1: I'm not really sure what to think of. You know,
2:21
Speaker 1: they've had some injuries at the quarterback position. Um, so yeah,
2:24
Speaker 1: they're they're they're a hard team to really get a
2:26
Speaker 1: beat on. But what I do know is they do
2:28
Speaker 1: some things. Well you mentioned it. Jameis Winston had four
2:31
Speaker 1: touchdowns last week. Is playing much better football than we've
2:33
Speaker 1: seen him play as of late. Um. Yeah, in the
2:37
Speaker 1: game against the Saints or yeah, excuse me, game against
2:39
Speaker 1: the Washington football team, it was kind of a close game.
2:41
Speaker 1: It was tied thirteen thirteen and a half time, aided
2:44
Speaker 1: by a Hail Mary um by the Saints, And we
2:47
Speaker 1: talked about a little bit before the podcast started to
2:49
Speaker 1: bump that was criminal um. The Washington football team could
2:52
Speaker 1: not have played that any worse than they did all that,
2:54
Speaker 1: which was a huge play which the sin The Saints
2:57
Speaker 1: went up seven and a halftime, traded some scores in
2:59
Speaker 1: the four quarter, and then Alvin Kamara sealed the game
3:02
Speaker 1: with a nineteen yard touchdown pass from Winston, capping in
3:05
Speaker 1: eight play seventy five yard drive. Kamara is one of
3:08
Speaker 1: the guys will spent a lot of time talking about today.
3:10
Speaker 1: Had one hundred and twenty two total yards and two touchdowns.
3:13
Speaker 1: Marquez Kalaway led the Saints and receiving with four receptions
3:16
Speaker 1: and eighty five yards, and I've said thirty two touchdowns.
3:19
Speaker 1: I think I'm gonna say two touchdowns because that would
3:21
Speaker 1: be in a lot in one game. But bum. The
3:24
Speaker 1: thing that scares you about the Saints is the Seahawks
3:26
Speaker 1: might be playing him at the wrong time of the year. Man.
3:28
Speaker 1: They survived the first five weeks. I've actually going three
3:30
Speaker 1: and two alternative wins, but they're missing eight starters. For
3:33
Speaker 1: most of the season, they were missing top receiver Michael Thomas,
3:37
Speaker 1: tree Kwon Smith, left tackle to Ron Armstead, center Eric McCoy,
3:41
Speaker 1: defensive tackle David On Yamada defensive end Marcus Davenport, linebacker
3:45
Speaker 1: kawand Alexander and their kicker Will let So combined, that
3:49
Speaker 1: group has a total of three All pros, eight Pro
3:51
Speaker 1: Bowl selections, and three hundred and fifty five games started
3:54
Speaker 1: including the playoffs, and this year they've appeared in a
3:57
Speaker 1: grand total of six games. So goodneas for Saint said,
4:01
Speaker 1: a lot of these guys have the chance to return
4:03
Speaker 1: this week coming off a bye week, many of them
4:05
Speaker 1: for this game against the Seahawks, So not great news obviously,
4:08
Speaker 1: will follow that injury port and see how things go.
4:10
Speaker 1: But bump, this could be a really hard game for
4:13
Speaker 1: the Seahawks as the Saints looked to be getting healthy
4:15
Speaker 1: at the wrong time. It sounds like it. You mentioned
4:17
Speaker 1: what six to eight guys who have not been I
4:20
Speaker 1: guess contributing to this football team, and they allowed themselves
4:23
Speaker 1: to survive. Right, That's all you want to do when
4:24
Speaker 1: you're missing these guys, is surviving. Three and two is
4:27
Speaker 1: a team that is surviving. You got Jamis Whiston who's
4:30
Speaker 1: playing okay football man. I'm kind of impressed by what
4:32
Speaker 1: he's done so far. He hasn't won a lot of games,
4:34
Speaker 1: but He's not lost a lot of games for this
4:36
Speaker 1: ball club either. It's all about the health man. We're
4:39
Speaker 1: getting into what what is this week seven? Get into
4:40
Speaker 1: Weeks seven? Teams are banged up, they are getting healthy.
4:43
Speaker 1: Let's look at this head to head matchup, all right, Offensively,
4:47
Speaker 1: these teams are both kind of struggling. I wouldn't say
4:49
Speaker 1: struggling right. The Hawks. I feel like they're finding who
4:53
Speaker 1: they are and who they want to be, which is
4:55
Speaker 1: a running football team. We saw that last week with
4:57
Speaker 1: Alice Collins and Gino Smith. But pensically, they're ranked twenty
5:01
Speaker 1: second in the league. The Saints are ranked twenty eight,
5:03
Speaker 1: the Hawks ring sixteenth. When it comes to running the rock,
5:05
Speaker 1: averaging one hundred and ten yards, the Saints are ringd ninth,
5:08
Speaker 1: averaging one hundred and twenty eight yards pass offense, Hawks
5:12
Speaker 1: are twenty two. The Saints are thirty one points per game.
5:15
Speaker 1: The Hawks are averaging twenty three points per game. That's eighteen,
5:18
Speaker 1: and the Saints are averaging twenty five points per game.
5:21
Speaker 1: That makes them ten. Again, we always say these numbers
5:25
Speaker 1: and kind of fool you a little bit, But in
5:28
Speaker 1: this case, I feel like these guys are who they
5:30
Speaker 1: are right. They're they're teams who are, for the Hawks case,
5:33
Speaker 1: trying to figure out, Okay, did we want to run?
5:35
Speaker 1: Did we want to pass? And with the Saints, because
5:38
Speaker 1: of Jamis Woodson at the quarterback position and him playing
5:42
Speaker 1: well than not playing, they playing mediocre some other weeks,
5:45
Speaker 1: I feel like of all the weeks, these numbers are
5:47
Speaker 1: as true as they've ever been offensively. Yeah, I think
5:50
Speaker 1: you're correct right in that, Bob. I think you mentioned
5:52
Speaker 1: the Seahawks are trying to find their identity. They've been
5:54
Speaker 1: in play a big play team over the last couple
5:56
Speaker 1: of years. You know, with Chris Carson getting hurt last year,
5:59
Speaker 1: the rushing numbers weren't where a Pete Carroll team normally
6:01
Speaker 1: is or where they'd want it to be. And obviously
6:04
Speaker 1: you lose Russell Wilson who missed the last essentially last
6:06
Speaker 1: five quarters for the Seahawks, and they're kind of in
6:09
Speaker 1: the middle of the pack right now. I think we
6:11
Speaker 1: saw them kind of turn a page in the second half.
6:14
Speaker 1: Of what they think they can be is running the football.
6:15
Speaker 1: We're in the football, We're in the football, play action,
6:17
Speaker 1: go over the top. Some of the things that we've
6:19
Speaker 1: seen them be super successful with But yeah, that's about
6:21
Speaker 1: where they're at. I think some of these numbers can
6:23
Speaker 1: trend upward, especially as the Seahawks try to establish that
6:26
Speaker 1: run and as Geno Smith gets even more comfortable with
6:29
Speaker 1: another game under his belt. So yeah, I think it's
6:31
Speaker 1: I think it's spot on. And for the Saints, they're
6:34
Speaker 1: gonna they're gonna try to run the ball. They got
6:36
Speaker 1: a great back in Kamara, they got some weapons on offense,
6:39
Speaker 1: and with Jamis right now, I think they're not They're
6:42
Speaker 1: telling him, hey, man, play within yourself. Don't try to
6:44
Speaker 1: be too crazy because when you do that, you turn
6:46
Speaker 1: the ball over. So yeah, I think they're about spot on.
6:49
Speaker 1: When it comes to defense, man, we're looking at two
6:51
Speaker 1: different defenses. In terms of the numbers, Seahawks are still
6:55
Speaker 1: last in the league, giving him four hundred and thirty
6:57
Speaker 1: three yards a game run defense or giving up a
6:59
Speaker 1: hundred forty in the ground thirtieth past defense, two hundred
7:02
Speaker 1: ninety two through the air twenty eighth, allowing twenty four
7:05
Speaker 1: points a game. That's twentieth in the league. On the
7:07
Speaker 1: flip side, the Saints, they're fifteenth in the league when
7:10
Speaker 1: it comes to the total yards allowed through giving up
7:12
Speaker 1: three hundred and fifty four game run defense. They're one
7:14
Speaker 1: of the best in the league, which is gonna be
7:16
Speaker 1: huge thing to look forward. They are allowing only seventy
7:19
Speaker 1: nine yards on the ground the summer two in the league.
7:21
Speaker 1: Past defense, they're glow average, given up two hundred and
7:24
Speaker 1: seventy five through the air, ranked twenty third in the league.
7:27
Speaker 1: And then points aloud. They're only giving up eighteen points
7:29
Speaker 1: a game, which is third in the NFL. So the
7:31
Speaker 1: Saints are kind of who they've played kind of consistently
7:34
Speaker 1: throughout the season. The Seahawks are starting to trend in
7:37
Speaker 1: the right direction right. I think last Sunday Night was
7:42
Speaker 1: the closest we've seen them to putting four quarters together
7:45
Speaker 1: of solid defense more than we have seen. We saw
7:47
Speaker 1: them play a half against the Rams, we see him
7:49
Speaker 1: play half against the Titans, a half against the forty
7:51
Speaker 1: nine ers. So I think they're trending in the right direction.
7:54
Speaker 1: I think they can build off some of the stuff
7:55
Speaker 1: we saw last week bump and they're definitely going to
7:58
Speaker 1: be The Seahawks will have their handsful of the Saints defense.
8:01
Speaker 1: It is going to be a tough one regardless of
8:03
Speaker 1: who they play. Let's get to know these teams and
8:04
Speaker 1: all your history. No, your history, all right, these teams
8:09
Speaker 1: have played a decent amount of time over the years.
8:12
Speaker 1: The Saints lead or it's the all time series is
8:15
Speaker 1: tied at eight to eight. The Saints lead the regular
8:17
Speaker 1: season series six and eight record in. The Seahawks lead
8:20
Speaker 1: the postseason series, going two and ozer with one pretty
8:23
Speaker 1: memorable game known as a Beast Quake. I think all
8:25
Speaker 1: Seahawks fans remember that one. The last time these two
8:28
Speaker 1: teams matched up is in twenty nineteen. The Seahawks fell
8:31
Speaker 1: with the Saints thirty three to twenty seven in Week
8:33
Speaker 1: three at Looming Field, and honestly, the final score in
8:36
Speaker 1: that ball game was a lot closer or than the
8:38
Speaker 1: game really was. The Seahawks were just doomed with self
8:41
Speaker 1: inflicted mistakes. The Saints returning Chris Carson fumblefore touchdown, also
8:46
Speaker 1: a lot of punt return touchdown. The Seahawks kind of
8:48
Speaker 1: mismanaged a clock down the stretch, were unable to cash
8:51
Speaker 1: in on what should have been a field goal attempt.
8:53
Speaker 1: Couldn't get that done. Russell Wilson did have a big day.
8:55
Speaker 1: He won thirty two to fifty do the ball fifty times,
8:58
Speaker 1: which is a lot or in the six yards two touchdowns,
9:01
Speaker 1: ran for two more. Locket led all receivers eleven reception
9:04
Speaker 1: one hundred fifty or four yards in a touchdown often
9:07
Speaker 1: kamaraw I told you we're gonna talk about him throughout
9:09
Speaker 1: this podcast. He was a problem that day in one
9:11
Speaker 1: hundred and sixty one yards and two touchdowns. Really tough
9:14
Speaker 1: to tackle. Teddy Bridgewater came back made his return. So yeah, No.
9:18
Speaker 1: The last time these two teams played, the Saints kind
9:20
Speaker 1: of took it to the Seahawks and they were They
9:22
Speaker 1: showed you know, when you score on defense, when you're
9:25
Speaker 1: scoring special teams, it's really hard to win a football game.
9:27
Speaker 1: So we hope that fortune changes for the Seahawks and
9:31
Speaker 1: bump Man. As we do every week, we take a
9:34
Speaker 1: look around the NFCUS what's the word and the Seahawks
9:41
Speaker 1: where the NFC West champs again, what's the word? In
9:45
Speaker 1: the west On Hawk talk? Arizona Cardinals still sitting at
9:51
Speaker 1: the top of the Division six and know the Rams
9:53
Speaker 1: were behind him at five and one. San Francisco is
9:55
Speaker 1: at two and three in the Hawks are at the
9:57
Speaker 1: bottom looking up at two and four. Now when it
10:00
Speaker 1: comes to the Cardinals, they're for real. We can stop
10:02
Speaker 1: asking that question now. And the Cardinals took on a
10:05
Speaker 1: solid Cleveland Browns team on the road and beat them
10:07
Speaker 1: thirty seven to twenty four. Seven of the Browns points
10:10
Speaker 1: came on a hell Mary that me and Naske were
10:11
Speaker 1: looking at before we hopped on the podcast, and it
10:14
Speaker 1: was ridiculous. This is not something that you teach. Whoever
10:17
Speaker 1: that defensive coach secondary coaches, he's got some work to do.
10:20
Speaker 1: Kyla Murray did his thing twenty and thirty two hundred
10:23
Speaker 1: twenty nine yards, four touchdowns, zero interceptions. He fumbled the
10:26
Speaker 1: ball four times, but recovered all four of them. Aj
10:29
Speaker 1: Green had a day five receptions seventy nine yards, one touchdown.
10:32
Speaker 1: Christen Kirk had five receptions seventy five yards in the touchdown.
10:36
Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins had three receptions fifty five yards and two touchdowns.
10:40
Speaker 1: One of his touchdowns were nasty ran after the catch
10:42
Speaker 1: on the ten yard line, making guys miss man who
10:44
Speaker 1: was beautiful. James Connor led all rushes with sixteen carres
10:48
Speaker 1: seventy one yards, and Carlinals didn't put up huge numbers offensively.
10:51
Speaker 1: The main difference in the game was e turnovers. The
10:53
Speaker 1: Browns turned the ball over three times and the Cardinals didn't,
10:56
Speaker 1: despite Kyler Murray fumbling four times. The Browns also were
10:59
Speaker 1: three for ten on third down and one for four
11:01
Speaker 1: on four of them. The most impressive thing about the
11:04
Speaker 1: Cardinals was they did it without their head coach Cliff
11:08
Speaker 1: Kingsbury and linebacker Challenge Jones, who tested posits for COVID.
11:12
Speaker 1: These guys said, look, no, Maddy, y'all stay at home.
11:14
Speaker 1: We're gonna handle business, don't you trip. These Cardinals are
11:17
Speaker 1: for real. Let's stop asking these questions. You gotta put
11:20
Speaker 1: some respect on their name. They're proving it every single week. Yeah, no,
11:24
Speaker 1: no question about that. And the Nott sad thing. The
11:26
Speaker 1: tough thing about that for the Seahawks is you still
11:28
Speaker 1: got to play them twice, so those games are gonna
11:31
Speaker 1: be scary looking otherwise. And then NFC West to Saint
11:35
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, I heard it earlier because I was
11:37
Speaker 1: listening to the radio. I almost said, Saint Louis, I
11:38
Speaker 1: haven't done that first so long. I've not done that
11:41
Speaker 1: for so long. I was listening to Hasselback on the
11:42
Speaker 1: radio this morning, and he was talking about his old time.
11:45
Speaker 1: So I somehow they got crept into my head, the
11:47
Speaker 1: Los Angeles Rams. I have to put my fine jar
11:50
Speaker 1: for that. They came out and they put a whooping
11:52
Speaker 1: on these New York Giants. Man beat them thirty eight
11:55
Speaker 1: to eleven. They were up thirty eight to three before
11:57
Speaker 1: the Giants scored to garbage time to touchdown in the
11:59
Speaker 1: fourth quarter. Matthew Stafford won twenty two of twenty eight
12:02
Speaker 1: for two hundred and fifty one yards or touchdown, win, interception,
12:05
Speaker 1: and Bump's favorite player, Cooper cup Well. Looper cup things
12:09
Speaker 1: nine receptions, one hundred and thirty yards and two touchdowns.
12:12
Speaker 1: One of them was a nasty no look pass, Bump,
12:16
Speaker 1: I know you saw that. Yeah, man, you know what
12:18
Speaker 1: messed up is If Patrick Mahomes did it, it it would
12:20
Speaker 1: have been everywhere. But Matthew Stafford did it, and it
12:23
Speaker 1: was I want to say it was cleaner than Yeah,
12:25
Speaker 1: I've seen Pat Malomes no looks. That was and that
12:28
Speaker 1: was his insult to injury. They already whoping him too.
12:30
Speaker 1: We didn't need to see that, but they did it
12:32
Speaker 1: to him anyway. Darryl Henderson twenty one carries seventy yards
12:35
Speaker 1: in a tud Giants turn the ball for four times,
12:38
Speaker 1: were four fifteen on third downs. Tough to win that way.
12:41
Speaker 1: Game was put away in the second quarter in the
12:42
Speaker 1: Rams scored twenty eight unanswered points in route to the
12:45
Speaker 1: easy victory. They really scored thirty eight unanswered before the
12:47
Speaker 1: Giants had come back. So again, this NFC West is tough.
12:51
Speaker 1: You have two teams playing really well. You've already seen
12:53
Speaker 1: the Rams. Unfortunately he came up short against them. Two
12:55
Speaker 1: against the Cardinals, the Niners had a bye week class week.
12:58
Speaker 1: Looks like they're gonna get Jimmy Garoppolo back at quarterback,
13:00
Speaker 1: especially as Trey Lance is also dealing with a knee.
13:03
Speaker 1: But Man Seahawks have the work cut out for him.
13:05
Speaker 1: It's hard to believe that just through six games and
13:08
Speaker 1: Seahawks already four back in the lost column, dead lasting
13:11
Speaker 1: division and have really reached a critical point in the season.
13:15
Speaker 1: But because of that, it sounds like a great time
13:17
Speaker 1: for him to turn it around. Let's look at these
13:19
Speaker 1: matchups in man up. Who is this mass man up
13:29
Speaker 1: on Hawk Talk Time to man up Jamis Winston versus
13:35
Speaker 1: Seahawks defense. This is not the thirty for thirty Jamis
13:38
Speaker 1: Winston the week, come accustomed to see, no, sir. He
13:41
Speaker 1: is seventy four one hundred and sixteen for eight hundred
13:44
Speaker 1: and ninety two yards, twelve touchdowns, three interceptions. He's been
13:47
Speaker 1: said nine times and have the QB rating of one
13:50
Speaker 1: oh eight point one. Twenty carries for eighty six yards
13:53
Speaker 1: and one touchdown. Jamis Winston's has had a really interesting
13:57
Speaker 1: start to his career and his seven He's been in
13:59
Speaker 1: league seven years. Yeah, how crazy's that? Seven years in
14:03
Speaker 1: the league he's passed for twenty thousand yards and thrown
14:06
Speaker 1: for one hundred and thirty three touchdowns. All right, he
14:09
Speaker 1: has three years where he's thrown the ball for over
14:11
Speaker 1: four thousand yards. Russell Wilson has only thrown for over
14:14
Speaker 1: four thousand yards four times in his career. In twenty nineteen,
14:18
Speaker 1: Jamie stew for five thousand, one hundred nine yards and
14:20
Speaker 1: thirty three touchdowns. But he's also got that thirty interception
14:24
Speaker 1: thing going. That's why we call him mister thirty. For
14:26
Speaker 1: thirty in his career, he has thrown ninety one interceptions
14:30
Speaker 1: in just eighty one games plays, So we can almost
14:33
Speaker 1: guarantee that this guy is going to throw in interceptions.
14:36
Speaker 1: For context, Russell Wilson has thrown eighty two in one
14:39
Speaker 1: hundred forty nine games in twenty twenty one. He's doing
14:43
Speaker 1: he's doing a much better job taking care of the fullball. However,
14:45
Speaker 1: the New Orleans they ring towards the bottom when it
14:48
Speaker 1: comes to pass and categories. All right, there ring thirty
14:50
Speaker 1: second NFL and both completions and attempts thirty first and
14:53
Speaker 1: net passing twenty ninth in completion percentage. So he's having
14:57
Speaker 1: a better season, but he's not lighten it up. So
15:01
Speaker 1: we need this secondary to do what they've been doing,
15:04
Speaker 1: which is steadily improving, right, steadily improved. Forced jamis to
15:08
Speaker 1: throw a pick because stats say that he's going to
15:11
Speaker 1: throw a pick this game, and just take advantage of him. Yeah,
15:13
Speaker 1: no question about it. You mentioned it. He is playing better.
15:16
Speaker 1: I think Sean. I think he's jelling in that Sean
15:18
Speaker 1: Payton offense. He had a year to kind of learn
15:19
Speaker 1: the system under Drew Reeves. Now he's the one playing
15:22
Speaker 1: twelve touchdown three interceptions. That's the best touchdown interception ratio
15:25
Speaker 1: he's had in his career by far. But as you
15:28
Speaker 1: mentioned it, he can still throw you the football I
15:30
Speaker 1: was looking at a play in their last game against
15:33
Speaker 1: the Washington football team and bump, it's it's empty, right,
15:36
Speaker 1: they're balls on the left hash. If I'm on the offense,
15:40
Speaker 1: three receivers to the right, two receivers to the left,
15:43
Speaker 1: and they just run four verds right. The two outside
15:45
Speaker 1: guys run nine routes. Number two receiver on the field
15:48
Speaker 1: side runs a go number three receivers, Taysom Hill, and
15:51
Speaker 1: he runs kind of a bend because the Washington football
15:55
Speaker 1: team is gonna cover three defense right and he runs
15:57
Speaker 1: a bend route, which is a tough, tough thing to do,
15:59
Speaker 1: and cover three. You put that safety in and buying
16:01
Speaker 1: is he gonna lean a number twosing lean a number three? Well,
16:04
Speaker 1: the safety completely turns his hips and commits to the
16:06
Speaker 1: number two receiver on the field side, So Jamis, they're
16:09
Speaker 1: starting to have pressure coming down by his feet, but
16:12
Speaker 1: he has a touchdown if he's Taysom Hill and the
16:15
Speaker 1: only person in the area is the middle linebacker, who's
16:17
Speaker 1: the only person that can help on that ben route
16:19
Speaker 1: because the corners locked up on the backside and he's
16:22
Speaker 1: beat by him, but he reads James's eyes. Jamis does
16:24
Speaker 1: not put nearly enough air underneath it, it gets intercepted.
16:28
Speaker 1: So it's plays like that where if if he gets
16:30
Speaker 1: it over the linebacker, it's a touchdown, no one, no
16:32
Speaker 1: one's catching him. So it's things like that that Jamis
16:36
Speaker 1: has still doing at times. Even though he only has
16:38
Speaker 1: the three interceptions on the ear that was one of him,
16:40
Speaker 1: He's still prone to doing these things. So how did
16:42
Speaker 1: the Seahawks can bat that defenseively? You mentioned it, the secondary,
16:46
Speaker 1: the corners, they're playing well. Dj Reid was getting his
16:48
Speaker 1: hands on footballs last week Trey Brown, which I'm really
16:51
Speaker 1: excited to see what he can do this week. So
16:54
Speaker 1: jamis playing better, but he's still prone to turn the
16:57
Speaker 1: football over, and the Seahawks defense will need to cast
17:00
Speaker 1: some turnovers if they're going to improve and beat these
17:02
Speaker 1: guys on Monday Night in twenty twenty one. So far,
17:05
Speaker 1: the Seahawks defense against India allowed three hundred thirty six
17:08
Speaker 1: yards against Tennessee five hundred thirty two, Minnesota four fifty three,
17:12
Speaker 1: San Fan four fifty seven, LA four seventy six in
17:16
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh three forty five. It's time to switch that up
17:20
Speaker 1: all right. Next matchup Gino Verse, the Saints defense last
17:24
Speaker 1: week against the Steelers, Gino went to twenty three of
17:27
Speaker 1: thirty two or two hundred nine yards, one touchdown, one fumble,
17:29
Speaker 1: and was sacked five times. Now he engineered three straight
17:32
Speaker 1: scoring drive in the second half. One of them was
17:34
Speaker 1: a nine and play fifty yard drive that allowed the
17:36
Speaker 1: Seahawks to tie the game in regulations. Now he's got
17:40
Speaker 1: some bad luck. Last two games he's been in, the
17:43
Speaker 1: games have ended in a turnover. One was a fumble
17:46
Speaker 1: caused by what the other was an interception. He was
17:48
Speaker 1: trying to throw the title locket. Lockett got tripped up.
17:51
Speaker 1: But it is what it is. He's played well enough
17:54
Speaker 1: to keep them in the game, but now it's time
17:56
Speaker 1: to take care of the football late in the game.
17:59
Speaker 1: Yeah about it. If you know it's you mentioned it.
18:02
Speaker 1: It's just tough that that the games have finished like
18:05
Speaker 1: that because we know he's played better than those last
18:07
Speaker 1: plays indicate. And he's not gonna be easy on Sunday
18:10
Speaker 1: or Monday. And excuse me. He's got another good defense
18:12
Speaker 1: with the Saints. We mentioned it, third and scoring defense,
18:15
Speaker 1: fifteenth in yards per game, twenty third against the past,
18:18
Speaker 1: but their number one in red zone defense allowing touchdowns
18:21
Speaker 1: on just five or fourteen possessions. Something's got to give
18:23
Speaker 1: because the Seahawks are actually very good at that. Their
18:25
Speaker 1: fourth in the league in red zone. So Geno Man,
18:29
Speaker 1: as long as you take care of the football, gets
18:31
Speaker 1: him help with the running backs, I think he can
18:32
Speaker 1: get it done. We've seen enough from him. We've seen
18:34
Speaker 1: the mobility, We've seen good decision making from the most part.
18:37
Speaker 1: So excited to see what Gino Smith can bring on
18:40
Speaker 1: Sunday now. Bub next matchup, Dwayne Brown Cam Jordan. Cam
18:44
Speaker 1: Jordan has been a problem in this league for a
18:46
Speaker 1: long time. Over his career, He's got five hundred thirty
18:49
Speaker 1: two tackles, ninety four sacks, eleven forced fumbles, ten fumble
18:52
Speaker 1: more coveries, fifty two bass defended, has never missed a
18:55
Speaker 1: regular season game in ten years, which is insane for
18:58
Speaker 1: that position. He's got eighteen tackles, two passes defended. Now,
19:03
Speaker 1: the Saints, while they have a great defense, they're not
19:05
Speaker 1: really getting after the quarterback bump. They've only had eight
19:07
Speaker 1: sacks this season. The Seahawks didn't have a great game
19:11
Speaker 1: in the sack department last week, given up five, which
19:14
Speaker 1: was a season high. So I think, honestly right now.
19:17
Speaker 1: The tone will be set with Dayne Brown and his
19:19
Speaker 1: offensive line. Absolutely. I think Dwayne needs have a big game.
19:22
Speaker 1: The offensive line needs to have a big game and
19:23
Speaker 1: protect Gino and get this running game going. Let's go
19:26
Speaker 1: old line. Let's attack that defensive line when it comes
19:29
Speaker 1: to running the ball and protect Geno Smith. Next matchup
19:32
Speaker 1: DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett versus Saints. Secondary of the
19:35
Speaker 1: secondary for the Saints has been balling. They have nine
19:38
Speaker 1: interceptions on this season already. They also have a great
19:42
Speaker 1: player in the secondary, Monshawn Lattimore. He's been balling out.
19:45
Speaker 1: He's signed a five year, ninety seven million dollars dear
19:47
Speaker 1: last month, and despite having thumb surgery in Week two
19:50
Speaker 1: and playing with the cast on his right hand the
19:52
Speaker 1: past three games, he's still doing his thing. Lattimore was
19:55
Speaker 1: named the NFC Defensive Player of the Week for Week
19:57
Speaker 1: five after locking down Washington Football team wider even Terry
20:00
Speaker 1: McLaren in the thirty three to twenty two win and
20:04
Speaker 1: recording a career high six passes defended. You know why
20:07
Speaker 1: they weren't picks. He's got that castle on his hand,
20:09
Speaker 1: so he can't he can't. Rather row he's gonna defend
20:11
Speaker 1: the heck out of That's tied for the most by
20:13
Speaker 1: any NFL player in the past fifteen years, according to
20:16
Speaker 1: ESPN Stats and Information. Latimer in twenty twenty one sixteen tackles,
20:20
Speaker 1: nine passes defended, six were the other week one interception
20:23
Speaker 1: rookie third round pick Halston a devil? Did I say
20:27
Speaker 1: that right? Sure, I'm opening to a devil. Sure, let's
20:30
Speaker 1: go with them. And that's held down the other corner
20:32
Speaker 1: spot and to side for the team lead with two interceptions. Also,
20:35
Speaker 1: Malcolm Jakeson's over there. Let's proven he can still play.
20:37
Speaker 1: Thirty four tackles, one tackle for laws, two passes defended,
20:40
Speaker 1: one interception. Yeah. Man, these pick get after the football.
20:43
Speaker 1: They get after the football, and which almost makes you
20:46
Speaker 1: feel like the Seahawks are more need for them to
20:49
Speaker 1: run the football. But you have these, you still have
20:51
Speaker 1: Dkmcaff and tire Locket Decon Macaff thirty eight receptions, four
20:54
Speaker 1: hundred and forty one yards, five touchdowns, tire Locket twenty
20:57
Speaker 1: seven receptions, four hundred twenty five yards and three touchdowns.
21:01
Speaker 1: And that's after having two hundred and seventy yards in
21:03
Speaker 1: the first two games. You know, he's only he hasn't
21:06
Speaker 1: had a game since since we two Lockett has not
21:08
Speaker 1: had a game with more than fifty seven yards. So
21:10
Speaker 1: I'm definitely looking to see sixteen get a little bit
21:12
Speaker 1: more involved in the past game almost passing downs. Time
21:15
Speaker 1: to get sixteen involved. Another matchup Alvin Kamara verse the
21:18
Speaker 1: Seahawks front seven. Alvin has ninety four carries, three hand
21:22
Speaker 1: to sixty eight yards and one touchdown, fifteen receptions for
21:25
Speaker 1: one hundred and thirteen yards three touchdowns. And we saw
21:28
Speaker 1: last time they heard twenty twenty nineteen, he's one of
21:31
Speaker 1: the hardest guys to tackle them like he's slippery, and
21:34
Speaker 1: he's slippery or when wet out there. It was raining
21:36
Speaker 1: the last time they played Alan loomanfield and you just
21:39
Speaker 1: couldn't bring this guy down. Man. You can't just strow
21:42
Speaker 1: his shoulder at him. You gotta wrap him up. Jamal
21:45
Speaker 1: wrapped that Judeo go for those big hits. Take him
21:47
Speaker 1: down and he's dangerous. He can receive the ball, he
21:49
Speaker 1: can run out the backfield. He's kind of what everybody's
21:52
Speaker 1: looking for at the running back position. Yeah, no question,
21:55
Speaker 1: He's a terrific athlete and the Seahawks are near the
21:57
Speaker 1: bottom of the league, allowing one hundred and forty yards
21:59
Speaker 1: for games, so they're gonna have their hands full without question,
22:03
Speaker 1: because that dude is special. He's special special and the bumped.
22:06
Speaker 1: Last matchup I want to look at, or one of
22:08
Speaker 1: the last matchups is the Seahawks running backs and versus
22:10
Speaker 1: Saints front seven. So the Saints are number two in
22:13
Speaker 1: the league, only given up seventy nine yards per game
22:16
Speaker 1: alloud forty three to Green Bay, eighty nine to Carolina,
22:19
Speaker 1: forty nine to New England, eighty three to New York,
22:21
Speaker 1: one thirty one to Washington, which is the only time
22:23
Speaker 1: they've given up over one hundred yards. Alice Collins became
22:26
Speaker 1: the seahawks first one hundred yard rusher since December twenty
22:29
Speaker 1: nineteen bump. So I mean, I'm hoping Alice Collins is good. Right,
22:34
Speaker 1: He's a little banged up. Obviously, we've got some time
22:36
Speaker 1: before Monday night, so I can get healed up, you know.
22:39
Speaker 1: If not, the Seahawks relying DJ Dallas, Travis Homer, and
22:42
Speaker 1: Rashad Penny, who's making his return this week, so we'll
22:45
Speaker 1: see how much, you know, he gets involved with a
22:48
Speaker 1: bump man, Pete Carroll made it clear the Seahawks need
22:50
Speaker 1: to run the football. If you were if you were
22:54
Speaker 1: to put the headset on be Shane Waldron for a
22:57
Speaker 1: week knowing the Saints are as good as they are
23:00
Speaker 1: at stopping the run and you want to run the football,
23:03
Speaker 1: you know, how do you balance that? What are you
23:05
Speaker 1: looking for this week? Knowing that that's their strength, but
23:08
Speaker 1: that's the team that you want to be. Are you
23:10
Speaker 1: gonna be kind of suffered and say this is what
23:11
Speaker 1: we need to do. Are you gonna come out and
23:13
Speaker 1: have drives where you running three plays in a row,
23:16
Speaker 1: running a second long, you know things like that, or
23:18
Speaker 1: are you just kind of feeling the game out? What's here?
23:20
Speaker 1: What's your mindset heading in a game like this? A
23:22
Speaker 1: little bit of both. I think initially you have to
23:24
Speaker 1: try to run the football. You gotta show them. Look,
23:26
Speaker 1: we're not scared of you. We know you're really good
23:28
Speaker 1: against the run, but this is what we have to
23:30
Speaker 1: do to be successful. You gotta be yourself. You can't
23:33
Speaker 1: change who you want to be because you're playing against
23:35
Speaker 1: a team that's good a running the rock. But like
23:38
Speaker 1: we mention, you still got number fourteen and sixteen out there.
23:40
Speaker 1: You can't abandon those guys. It's a field. Initially, you
23:44
Speaker 1: come out with your ten fifteen play script. Okay, these
23:46
Speaker 1: are the plays that we want to show to set
23:48
Speaker 1: up everything else. But then after that you gotta go
23:50
Speaker 1: with the flow, you know. And at halftime, if Pete
23:53
Speaker 1: Carrolly needs to grab Shane Walden and talk about what
23:55
Speaker 1: they what they need to do, what they don't need
23:57
Speaker 1: to do, then you do that. But give Collins a
24:00
Speaker 1: but still take his shots with DK in sixteen. All right,
24:03
Speaker 1: let's let's hope it works. Let's find out how these
24:05
Speaker 1: Seahawks are you gonna get a victory and pass the victory.
24:10
Speaker 1: After forty five waits for the staff, Michael Vickson puts
24:13
Speaker 1: it down. That kick is away. If that kick, GONO
24:17
Speaker 1: say it's gun. It's a pass to victory. On Hawk talk,
24:22
Speaker 1: that's to victory. Gotta keep playing good defense, come on,
24:26
Speaker 1: find a way to build off what you started last
24:28
Speaker 1: week in Pittsburgh. Create turnovers. Jameis Winston is prone to
24:32
Speaker 1: throwing you the football. This you need to set up
24:35
Speaker 1: the offense. Man. You're playing a good sing defense. You
24:37
Speaker 1: need to set up the Seahawks offense with some short fields,
24:39
Speaker 1: take advantage, create turnovers. You gotta tackle Alvin Kamar Man.
24:44
Speaker 1: This guy, like I said, he will make you miss.
24:47
Speaker 1: You need eleven halts to the football. You cannot let
24:50
Speaker 1: him get gone and then offensively take care of the
24:52
Speaker 1: football man. The Seats have done well for the most
24:54
Speaker 1: part in that category. But however, the last two turnovers
24:58
Speaker 1: have effectively ended the game. Let's not do that three
25:02
Speaker 1: weeks in a row without question, and find a way
25:04
Speaker 1: to run the ball. Man, this is a huge challenge.
25:07
Speaker 1: I know that offense wide is gonna be ready for it.
25:09
Speaker 1: Shane Waldron and company. You don't need a crazy one
25:13
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty year a rushing game, but she need
25:15
Speaker 1: to be effective when you decide to run the ball.
25:17
Speaker 1: When it's time to run the ball and you need
25:18
Speaker 1: to get one, two, three yards, you need to be
25:20
Speaker 1: able to do it when it's time to take time
25:21
Speaker 1: off the clock. You need to be able to run
25:22
Speaker 1: the ball and stay on the field. So find a
25:25
Speaker 1: way to have an incredible challenge against a great rush defense.
25:29
Speaker 1: But find a way to get it done. Remember that
25:32
Speaker 1: old under armor promo, Click clack, clip clack, protect this house.
25:38
Speaker 1: That's what the Hawks need to do name. The Hawks
25:41
Speaker 1: have lost back to back home games at Looming Field.
25:43
Speaker 1: Let's not make that a habit. Just find a way
25:47
Speaker 1: to go one and oh. Let's go primetime football. This
25:51
Speaker 1: club has been one of the best in NFL history
25:53
Speaker 1: on primetime. Let's get back to doing what we do.
