1:12
Speaker 1: Here in the Northwest. It's a great day to be
1:15
Speaker 1: at twelve nas. It's a great day. And you can
1:17
Speaker 1: never sleep on that. Man, that's stat we have. It's
1:19
Speaker 1: so good here in Seattle. We're so spoiled. I mean,
1:22
Speaker 1: every Monday morning after wins and losses will get on
1:24
Speaker 1: here and people you know, on Twitter and out there
1:27
Speaker 1: want to complain about this, nitpick about that. But listen here,
1:30
Speaker 1: you said seven of the last ten years want a
1:33
Speaker 1: playoff game. I mean, there's a lot of teams that
1:35
Speaker 1: packed up their gear and had locker clean out last
1:38
Speaker 1: week the Seahawks advanced. Now there's only eight teams left.
1:40
Speaker 1: They're still playing. I'm excited nothing. I mean, I'm happy
1:44
Speaker 1: as hell. It's it's been a great it's a great Monday.
1:46
Speaker 1: It's a great Monday. And it's just the way that
1:49
Speaker 1: they did it. You know, the last time they played
1:51
Speaker 1: the Philadelphia Eagles, it was the same score seventeen and nine,
1:54
Speaker 1: but it looked a little different. They rushed for one
1:56
Speaker 1: hundred and seventy four yards the last time they play.
1:59
Speaker 1: This time, Russell Wilson had a redemption game against these guys.
2:02
Speaker 1: He didn't play his best at last time they played
2:04
Speaker 1: against Philly. This time he showed up and he bawled out.
2:08
Speaker 1: Proud of that, dude, Proud of this team. On to
2:10
Speaker 1: the next they're going to Green Bay. But let's talk
2:12
Speaker 1: about the main takeaways we got from this game. The
2:15
Speaker 1: Seahawks can proved to eight and one on the road
2:17
Speaker 1: this season, which is ridiculous. Eight and won on the road.
2:21
Speaker 1: Could you imagine they would have won one or two
2:23
Speaker 1: more games? Of goodness? Well, if if you would have
2:25
Speaker 1: just told me that alone, Hey, the Seahawks wodn't be
2:27
Speaker 1: eight and one on the road, I would be like, okay,
2:29
Speaker 1: did they Were they fourteen and two? Were they fifteen
2:31
Speaker 1: and one? So obviously it was disappointing to go four
2:34
Speaker 1: and four at home this season, but what they've been
2:36
Speaker 1: able to do on the road is super impressive, super encouraging.
2:39
Speaker 1: And also some of that home record is you lost
2:41
Speaker 1: to the Saints playoff team, You lost to the Ravens
2:44
Speaker 1: playoff team, you know what I mean, you lost to
2:45
Speaker 1: the Niners playoff team, So some of that factors in.
2:48
Speaker 1: But the confidence they have at eight and one. They
2:51
Speaker 1: know and everyone eats it permeates through the entire locker
2:53
Speaker 1: room that when they go on the road, it's business
2:55
Speaker 1: as usual and they're gonna get it done. They're gonna
2:57
Speaker 1: get it done. They also they won their first fourth
3:00
Speaker 1: road playoff game in franchise history. It's so tough to
3:04
Speaker 1: win on the road during the regular season. When you
3:06
Speaker 1: can do it in the postseason, it gives you life.
3:09
Speaker 1: And this team they are road warriors. Now they got
3:11
Speaker 1: to go to Green Bay get it done. But because
3:14
Speaker 1: they were eight and one on the excuse me, seven
3:16
Speaker 1: to one in the regular season on the road, now
3:18
Speaker 1: eight and one total throughout the season. It gives you
3:21
Speaker 1: life and it makes you think that this team might
3:23
Speaker 1: be able to make a run. Oh absolutely, And it's
3:26
Speaker 1: fourth in franchise history. The Seahawks has been around for
3:28
Speaker 1: a long time and for the longest time, road games
3:31
Speaker 1: were hard. I mean even last year and losing the
3:32
Speaker 1: Dallas So to be the fourth team in history to
3:35
Speaker 1: win a road playoff game is super impressive. And yes,
3:38
Speaker 1: it definitely gives you confidence because now you start thinking, Okay,
3:41
Speaker 1: you go to Green Bay, that's the team. If you
3:42
Speaker 1: get Dwayne brownback, get a couple of pieces back. They're
3:45
Speaker 1: in great shape. But now you have confidence, and all
3:46
Speaker 1: of a sudden, before you get ahead of yourself, you're like, wait,
3:49
Speaker 1: we win this week, We're one game away from the
3:51
Speaker 1: super Bowl. Crazy. I mean, it's it's wild crazy. The
3:53
Speaker 1: seahoffs also improved to eleven and two in one score games.
3:57
Speaker 1: They tied the twenty fifteen Broncos for the most one
4:00
Speaker 1: score wins in a single season including playoffs all time.
4:03
Speaker 1: I mean, we've been all year, We've been stressed out,
4:06
Speaker 1: all right, I'm already bald. I'm losing more hair messing
4:10
Speaker 1: with these guys. But games like the regular season to
4:13
Speaker 1: where they're one score games come to light in the
4:16
Speaker 1: playoffs because they've been there, they've done that, and especially
4:19
Speaker 1: when you have a young team, these guys are gonna
4:21
Speaker 1: pull back from those experience during the regular season when
4:23
Speaker 1: it comes to the postseason when you're playing against the
4:26
Speaker 1: best teams in the NFL and it's probably gonna be
4:28
Speaker 1: a one score game anyway, of course. I mean they're
4:30
Speaker 1: used that is in their DNA. They win close games
4:33
Speaker 1: when it's winning time, when it's money time, Russell Wilson time.
4:36
Speaker 1: They get it done. And it's great because you look
4:38
Speaker 1: at teams that struggle when if you're on a team
4:41
Speaker 1: that struggles, and especially in late game situations, when you
4:43
Speaker 1: get in that situation again, human nature is like, ah,
4:46
Speaker 1: here we go again. So you start getting tight, you
4:48
Speaker 1: start getting nervous. There's none of that on this football team.
4:51
Speaker 1: None of that. The defense recorded as season high seven
4:54
Speaker 1: sacks against the Philadelphia Eagles. It didn't feel like seven
4:57
Speaker 1: sacks because they only told them about fifteen yards in losses.
5:00
Speaker 1: But they got after that quarterback the last two weeks.
5:03
Speaker 1: They got thirteen sacks two weeks prior to that one sack.
5:06
Speaker 1: I asked Pete Carroll, what's the difference. He said, Clowney, Well,
5:11
Speaker 1: Clowney is a monster, that dude. He's so I mean,
5:15
Speaker 1: whether it's in the run game, getting after the quarterback,
5:18
Speaker 1: he is so impressive and the stats won't even show
5:20
Speaker 1: it all the time. The stats don't show it because
5:22
Speaker 1: he is active on every player, whether he gets to
5:24
Speaker 1: tackle or sack. He makes plays and he's so disruptive,
5:27
Speaker 1: whether it's an insight to a move to stop the
5:28
Speaker 1: run or whatever it is. He makes other guys make
5:31
Speaker 1: plays because of how he how disrupted the upfront. So
5:34
Speaker 1: Clowney's definitely attributed to that. Think about we only have
5:37
Speaker 1: like twenty seven sacks on this season and they have
5:39
Speaker 1: seven last night. Is unbelievable. Unbelievable. On the national stage,
5:43
Speaker 1: DK Metcalf showed why the Seahawks drafted him. Kid balled
5:48
Speaker 1: down one hundred and sixty yards a game seiling catch
5:52
Speaker 1: to finish it off in the bunch formation, faked the screen,
5:55
Speaker 1: he goes up top. He did everything a receiver needs
5:58
Speaker 1: to do. He caught the long ball, he caught the
6:00
Speaker 1: short ball, had yards after the catch, He went downfield,
6:03
Speaker 1: he was blocking guys, he had a touchdown. Everything that
6:06
Speaker 1: you can ask a wide receiver to do. DK did it,
6:09
Speaker 1: and he looked smooth and confident in doing it. From
6:12
Speaker 1: the first catch of the game. We said that when
6:13
Speaker 1: you're watching the game yesterday, you could telling him he
6:16
Speaker 1: flexed on him. You could just see the confidence in him,
6:18
Speaker 1: Like you said, your receiver. The way he's catching the football,
6:21
Speaker 1: it looks clean. He's snatching out in the air. Russell's
6:23
Speaker 1: putting in a place where only DK can go up
6:25
Speaker 1: and get it. And he has been a monster, and
6:27
Speaker 1: it's great to see yes, their last takeaway, survive in advance.
6:31
Speaker 1: I don't care what it look like. I don't care
6:32
Speaker 1: of seventeen and nine. It doesn't matter. Guess what Philly's
6:35
Speaker 1: going home. Hawks are headed to Green Bay. All it is.
6:39
Speaker 1: It's all about winning. You just win no matter what
6:42
Speaker 1: it looks like. There's no style points. This isn't two
6:44
Speaker 1: thousand and six with the BCS system and you need
6:47
Speaker 1: to blow teams out. This is the NFL. This is
6:48
Speaker 1: a tournament season, and they got it done. We've been
6:51
Speaker 1: saying this if you look back at our old podcast,
6:53
Speaker 1: we've been saying this all season when all the naysayers
6:55
Speaker 1: were just complaining, complaining, complaining, Well, we didn't win the
6:59
Speaker 1: right way where we didn't in this way. We gave
7:00
Speaker 1: it twenty points here, we only scored this day. It
7:02
Speaker 1: doesn't matter that. At the end of the day, in
7:04
Speaker 1: the NFL, the only things that matter are wins in losses,
7:07
Speaker 1: and like you said, survive in advances the name of
7:09
Speaker 1: the game. Seahawks in the divisional playoffs. Let's go now,
7:12
Speaker 1: we're gonna move on to the top performers. Got to
7:14
Speaker 1: start off with Russell Wilson eighteen to thirty three, hundred
7:17
Speaker 1: and twenty five yards when one touched him. And he
7:20
Speaker 1: was also the leading rusher in the game for the
7:23
Speaker 1: Seahawks with nine carries for forty five yards in the
7:25
Speaker 1: QB rating of one hundred and eight point three. Well,
7:29
Speaker 1: I mean, what can you say about this guy when
7:31
Speaker 1: it's time to perform, when the game's on the line,
7:32
Speaker 1: when they need you the most, when the run game
7:34
Speaker 1: isn't working. He not only throws for over three hundred yards,
7:38
Speaker 1: he leads the team in Russian, had a big run
7:40
Speaker 1: for about twenty yards. He looked like he had a
7:42
Speaker 1: little spring to a step. Two. Man, he's starting to
7:44
Speaker 1: look a little healthy. Well, you saw that third and
7:45
Speaker 1: fifteen run where he had to put a move on somebody.
7:47
Speaker 1: He was about six yards short at first contact, puts
7:50
Speaker 1: a move on, somebody, gets the first down. And when
7:52
Speaker 1: you look at that stat line, when you're when you're
7:55
Speaker 1: able to throw for over three hundred yards, when your
7:57
Speaker 1: team is not able to run the football whatsoever of earth,
8:00
Speaker 1: that just shows you how impressive he is. And yeah,
8:02
Speaker 1: they only scored seventeen points, but they're going up and
8:04
Speaker 1: down the field. They're getting a lot of yards between
8:06
Speaker 1: twenties and Russell Wilson, the special guys all about possession,
8:09
Speaker 1: another top of former DK metcalf seven receptions, one hundred
8:12
Speaker 1: and sixty yards and one touchdown. DK's one sixty receiving
8:16
Speaker 1: yards Sunday are the most by any rookie NFL and
8:19
Speaker 1: playoff history. In his debut, Metcalf had fifth had the
8:23
Speaker 1: fifth most receiving yards by any player in their playoff debut.
8:26
Speaker 1: I mean everybody was hating on this guy. I would
8:30
Speaker 1: say everybody. I would say the lot sighters hating on
8:32
Speaker 1: this guy. All why they draft him? He can't run this, right,
8:36
Speaker 1: he can't do this. And all this young man has
8:38
Speaker 1: done has worked his butt off and persevered. I'm happy
8:42
Speaker 1: for the dude. I described it as me watching my
8:44
Speaker 1: little nephew just grow up. Granted he's bigger than me,
8:48
Speaker 1: but in age wise, he's still my little nephew. Watching
8:51
Speaker 1: him do his thing. He's looking confident, he's looking smooth.
8:54
Speaker 1: He's gonna be a problem for years to come. Oh,
8:56
Speaker 1: he is going to be. He's already a monster. And
8:58
Speaker 1: I would shudder to think if you're a defensive back
9:01
Speaker 1: in the NFL, especially the NFC West, you're gonna have
9:03
Speaker 1: your hands full for a long time. And the thing
9:06
Speaker 1: about d K two is you mentioned it, So I
9:08
Speaker 1: wonder for the doubters and the haters, you're still concerned
9:11
Speaker 1: about the three cone time. I mean, the thing about
9:15
Speaker 1: so much emphasis goes into the comment. I don't get
9:17
Speaker 1: me wrong, it's important, but you also have game tape
9:20
Speaker 1: and what he can show. And he's spent all summer
9:22
Speaker 1: working out with Russell Wilson. He's getting up at five
9:25
Speaker 1: forty five catching Boston Russell Wilson, He's hitting the jug
9:27
Speaker 1: after every single practice, he's getting out early, He's doing
9:30
Speaker 1: everything that he needs to and it showed. I mean,
9:32
Speaker 1: not only is that an NFL record for rookies, that's
9:34
Speaker 1: a Seahawk postseason record, breaking Daryl Jackson's record of a
9:38
Speaker 1: one hundred and forty three yards back against Washington two
9:40
Speaker 1: thousand and six. So that just shows you. You know,
9:42
Speaker 1: we've had some pretty damn good receivers in this franchise,
9:44
Speaker 1: Steve Largen among them. So for him to put on
9:47
Speaker 1: that kind of performances is unbelievable. He's already immortal when
9:51
Speaker 1: it comes to the Seahawk franchise, and this is his
9:53
Speaker 1: first year. More to come with this young man, none
9:56
Speaker 1: of this hot performer. Quinn Jefferson two sacks, two QB hits,
10:00
Speaker 1: two tackles for losses. It seems like this defensive line
10:04
Speaker 1: is starting to cast their stride right at the right moment.
10:07
Speaker 1: Last week and against the forty nine ers that had
10:09
Speaker 1: six sacks, they got seven. Here Quintin Jefferson is stepping
10:12
Speaker 1: up and doing this thing. Quinn Jefferson's having the best
10:14
Speaker 1: year of his career. And he started the year he
10:16
Speaker 1: had two sacks, I believe against Cincinnati. But he's just
10:19
Speaker 1: been consistent. They've asked him to line up in almost
10:21
Speaker 1: every position on the defensive line, and he has just
10:23
Speaker 1: been consistent, whether it's the run or the past. And
10:26
Speaker 1: what I liked too is he was on the huddle
10:27
Speaker 1: last week and he was talking about how they're still
10:31
Speaker 1: figuring each other out. It's you know, people think, oh,
10:33
Speaker 1: after a couple games, you got it, but no, it
10:35
Speaker 1: takes time. Whether it's like, hey, Clowney likes to do this,
10:37
Speaker 1: so I'm gonna duck underneath, right, So they're still as
10:40
Speaker 1: a season's gone on, they've started to learn each other
10:42
Speaker 1: even more, whether it's Jay Reid or everyone together. So
10:45
Speaker 1: now they're all putting together, and he bought out yesterday.
10:48
Speaker 1: Now we're gonna move on to the catalysts of this
10:50
Speaker 1: defensive line. Another top performers Davey and Clowney. Five tackles,
10:53
Speaker 1: one sack, two tackles for losses. Those are good stats,
10:57
Speaker 1: but that still doesn't show what he really brings to
10:59
Speaker 1: the table. He is disruptive. There was a jet sweep
11:02
Speaker 1: that probably would have broke out for about fifteen to
11:05
Speaker 1: twenty yard game and he shot the gap, tackled the guy.
11:09
Speaker 1: He's so dang long. It's tough with this guy, and
11:12
Speaker 1: he looks healthier now. Last week he seemed a little
11:14
Speaker 1: timid when it came to his hand movements and hand placement.
11:17
Speaker 1: This week he seemed like he was going all out.
11:19
Speaker 1: He seems healthy, ready to go. Well, that play you mentioned, um,
11:22
Speaker 1: I don't think there's another defensive end in the NFL
11:25
Speaker 1: who makes that play. Maybe Nick Bosa just the the
11:27
Speaker 1: athleticism it took because he's shooting up field and in
11:30
Speaker 1: a split second change his direction and throws him down
11:32
Speaker 1: for a tackle for lost. There's another play where it
11:35
Speaker 1: was gonna hit another run playoff probably gonna hit for
11:37
Speaker 1: twenty five or thirty, He sweeps inside, makes a big
11:40
Speaker 1: tackle and he's just I mean, the guy is a
11:42
Speaker 1: game wrecker. Game wreckerd. Jadeveon Clowney are last top of
11:46
Speaker 1: Farmer low key. I don't think people are really talking
11:49
Speaker 1: about this. They're not, they're not, They're feeling the Dougal
11:51
Speaker 1: eleven tackles, one sack, two tackles for losses and he
11:55
Speaker 1: went up against one of the best tight ends in
11:57
Speaker 1: the game in zach Ertz, probably the best Combo Goddard
12:00
Speaker 1: as well, and they didn't score touchdown. We know that
12:02
Speaker 1: the Hawks have struggled against with the tight ends this season.
12:06
Speaker 1: Bradley McDougall stepped up, and he stepped up in a
12:08
Speaker 1: big way. Zach Ertz went I was targeted four times,
12:11
Speaker 1: had two receptions for forty four yards. So I'll take
12:13
Speaker 1: that any day of the week. We were struggling to,
12:15
Speaker 1: like you mentioned, to cover tight ends and to shut down.
12:17
Speaker 1: I know zach Ertz was playing hurt. He didn't look
12:19
Speaker 1: like it. No, he looked like normal zach Ertz and
12:22
Speaker 1: Bradley McDougald has been balling out and locked him down
12:24
Speaker 1: and it just it's cool to see everyone back with
12:28
Speaker 1: Diggs back there. It just everyone settles down. Radley can
12:32
Speaker 1: this be in the box and worry about his business there.
12:34
Speaker 1: Diggs keeps everything in front. You're not worrying about the
12:36
Speaker 1: big play. So great angles, So all of them together
12:39
Speaker 1: is great for the Seahawk secondary. Yeah, that's a great
12:41
Speaker 1: point with Diggs. Pete Carrolls said that their communication is awesome.
12:45
Speaker 1: You gotta be able to communicate and trust. No knock
12:48
Speaker 1: to any of the other any of the other safeties
12:50
Speaker 1: I've been playing this season, but there's something about the
12:54
Speaker 1: Quandre and McDougall tandem that just makes sense. They trust
12:58
Speaker 1: each other, they're veterans, they know what they're doing, they're prepared.
13:01
Speaker 1: So it's nice to see McDougall really just let his
13:04
Speaker 1: hair loose and be able to just play football again.
13:06
Speaker 1: All Right, we're gonna move over to the receiver round up.
13:09
Speaker 1: Like mentioned, dk best game of his career seven catches,
13:12
Speaker 1: one sixty one touchdown along of fifty three. The biggest
13:16
Speaker 1: catch of the game was the game selling third and ten.
13:22
Speaker 1: It's third and ten. They're not gonna run the ball
13:24
Speaker 1: to keep the clock going. They're gonna take a shot,
13:27
Speaker 1: and why not go to the biggest man on the
13:29
Speaker 1: field who was balling at the time. And Russell Wilson
13:32
Speaker 1: also goes to show you how well he was doing.
13:33
Speaker 1: He said, I'm gonna throw it up so I know
13:35
Speaker 1: that DK is the one that's gonna come down with it,
13:37
Speaker 1: you know. And I thought that was a great throwd
13:38
Speaker 1: by him. DK climbs the ladder puts that for whatever
13:41
Speaker 1: his vertical was, forty four inches or whatever it was,
13:43
Speaker 1: snatches a football comes down with a huge play and
13:46
Speaker 1: it was great to see. Great to see Tyler Lockett
13:48
Speaker 1: half four catches for sixty two yards. Let's not sleep
13:51
Speaker 1: on Tyler Lockett. There were a lot of clutch players
13:54
Speaker 1: in the middle of the field that he came down with.
13:57
Speaker 1: He's the deep cross champion of the world. He's great
13:59
Speaker 1: at that. He's set down in the zone. And what
14:01
Speaker 1: I liked what they did with Tyler Lockett is he
14:03
Speaker 1: usually runs that deep cross the games for about twenty
14:06
Speaker 1: to twenty five yards to the opposite sideline. This week
14:09
Speaker 1: he effected and set down in the zone and Russell
14:12
Speaker 1: was able to find him a couple of times. Yeah,
14:13
Speaker 1: and what about the catch on the sideline? Yeah, I mean,
14:16
Speaker 1: you watch it. You're like, uh, how it's a great catch.
14:18
Speaker 1: But they used to replay oh my god, he got that. Yeah.
14:21
Speaker 1: I mean the presence of mind and the foot or
14:23
Speaker 1: to know where you are on the field and with
14:26
Speaker 1: your body position to get your feet down. It's unreal, unreal.
14:28
Speaker 1: David Moore had two catches for fifty seven and a
14:31
Speaker 1: long of thirty eight in demo Man. I mean he
14:34
Speaker 1: just makes big plays. He might not have the numbers
14:37
Speaker 1: that he would like to have, but it seems like
14:39
Speaker 1: every time he's called upon to make a play, he
14:42
Speaker 1: usually makes the play, and he makes it big. The
14:45
Speaker 1: best thing about his long of thirty eight yards was
14:49
Speaker 1: DK leading the charge. Whoa dude out? That's see, that's
14:53
Speaker 1: a that's an underrated part DK's game. He's a big dude.
14:56
Speaker 1: Doesn't mean you know some receivers don't want to block. No,
14:58
Speaker 1: he came out there and was like, come get some
15:00
Speaker 1: putting dbs on the ground. Love to see in demail
15:03
Speaker 1: the presence of mine. He kind of came backwards as
15:05
Speaker 1: he caught the ball, turned up field and made a
15:07
Speaker 1: big play, made a big play. Marshawn Lenarch had two
15:09
Speaker 1: catches for twenty five along of twenty and you said
15:13
Speaker 1: it the best. He said, he's stiffed armed the guy
15:15
Speaker 1: into oblivion. It was his left hand, so it wasn't
15:18
Speaker 1: even the right hand, it was his left I'm gonna
15:20
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say that he's a writing because has a writing.
15:23
Speaker 1: He got you with the off hand, stiffed arm the dude.
15:26
Speaker 1: It was as nice to see him contributing in a
15:28
Speaker 1: different way this week than he did last week. Yeah,
15:30
Speaker 1: and just it just shows the power that is just
15:32
Speaker 1: grown man strength. I don't know what else to call it.
15:34
Speaker 1: To do that with your left your left hand. Ask
15:36
Speaker 1: you haven't been playing football year in the throw a
15:39
Speaker 1: grown man in the NFL dependsive back ten yards down
15:41
Speaker 1: the field. It's fun to see. Jacob Paulist had two
15:44
Speaker 1: catches for sixteen yards. He's been consistent all year. And
15:46
Speaker 1: then Travis Homer had one catch for five yards. So
15:49
Speaker 1: now we're gonna shift to the coach's corner. That's when
15:52
Speaker 1: we break down the play. We're gonna break down DK
15:54
Speaker 1: medcats fifty three yard touchdown from Russell whistling and happened
15:58
Speaker 1: in the third quarter with about eight forty six left
16:01
Speaker 1: on the clock. Goes in motion, Russell play fake now
16:03
Speaker 1: he's gonna throw down the middle, kind of man Mancaalf
16:06
Speaker 1: makes the catch diving. He is in for a touchdown Seahawks.
16:12
Speaker 1: What a play by the rookie DK Midcalf gets in
16:16
Speaker 1: behind the secondary, makes a diving catch, hits the ground,
16:20
Speaker 1: gets back up, and then drags a defender to the
16:23
Speaker 1: end zone fifty three yards. What a play by number fourteen.
16:29
Speaker 1: Simply spectacular, and the Seahawks lead by ten. This is
16:34
Speaker 1: this great recognition of the defense by Russell Wilson. They
16:38
Speaker 1: start off DK in the slot. Locket is to his left,
16:41
Speaker 1: he's outside of him. They motion Locket across the formation
16:45
Speaker 1: and the safety comes down. So now there's a one
16:47
Speaker 1: high look. There's a one high look, and now the
16:51
Speaker 1: safety that's left cheats to the other side of the
16:54
Speaker 1: field and it's just all ability from there. There there's
16:58
Speaker 1: no great route running. It's just look, I'm I'm faster
17:01
Speaker 1: than Russell Wilson. Tosses up with football. DK catches it
17:06
Speaker 1: with his hands. I thought it was sloppy at first,
17:07
Speaker 1: but then he slowed it down. He looked at his hands.
17:09
Speaker 1: It's all hands. He falls down and has the awareness
17:13
Speaker 1: to get up and get into the end zone when
17:16
Speaker 1: you see a rookie make a player and then he
17:17
Speaker 1: stretches out for the touchdown. He did so much in
17:20
Speaker 1: this one play and there was nothing really complicated about
17:23
Speaker 1: the play. He just had to make the play and
17:25
Speaker 1: he catches the football, falls down, gets up, stretches out.
17:29
Speaker 1: The game is slowing down for the young man well.
17:31
Speaker 1: And it's great to see because everyone has always wanted
17:35
Speaker 1: the Seahawks have this big, physical receiver. People have been
17:38
Speaker 1: complaining about that for years and we've had great ones.
17:41
Speaker 1: Doug Baldwin one of the best ever. We have Jermaine Curse.
17:43
Speaker 1: We had a lot of good receivers in this building,
17:45
Speaker 1: but they weren't that stature. To see someone with that
17:47
Speaker 1: stature to go up and make the play and like
17:49
Speaker 1: you said, the full extension, all hands, presence of mind.
17:53
Speaker 1: You know he has not been touched and you're just
17:55
Speaker 1: growing man. Someone put in the end zone. DK is
17:58
Speaker 1: on the national stage, you better recognize and you have
18:01
Speaker 1: the game plan for that man, because he's a problem
18:03
Speaker 1: game plan. Now, I'm gonna go out there and say
18:05
Speaker 1: he is a little Teal esque. I'm not who knows
18:08
Speaker 1: what he does after this year and what his career
18:10
Speaker 1: looks like. But if I had to compare him to
18:13
Speaker 1: a receiver, he's got some teal in him. And I'm
18:16
Speaker 1: gonna say right now, his hands are a little better
18:18
Speaker 1: than Tio's hands. I agree, I agree. I think TiO
18:21
Speaker 1: Is obviously is a Hall of Family player. But you're
18:24
Speaker 1: right in terms of the hands in the catching, and
18:26
Speaker 1: you see the work he's putting in and it looks
18:28
Speaker 1: clean like yesterday. It's the cleanest I have seen that
18:30
Speaker 1: man look all season long. Yep, hard work is paying off,
18:33
Speaker 1: all right? The best thing? What do we learn about
18:35
Speaker 1: this again? For the ninth time this year they are
18:40
Speaker 1: road Warriors. Eight time this year. This team could go
18:43
Speaker 1: down as one of the best road teams in NFL history.
18:46
Speaker 1: With a couple more wins. No team has been the
18:48
Speaker 1: fifth seed in the NFL and won a Super Bowl.
18:51
Speaker 1: If I'm gonna put my money on any team, I'm
18:53
Speaker 1: gonna put my money on this team because they show
18:55
Speaker 1: they can go anywhere. Don't matter the time, the time zone,
18:58
Speaker 1: whatever you want to do, you go on the road.
19:01
Speaker 1: They got a chance to win. Oh of course, then
19:02
Speaker 1: who else would you rather bet on than Russell Wilson
19:04
Speaker 1: and Pete Carroll? I mean, done and done. I'll take
19:07
Speaker 1: my chances in Green Bay. It's a great football team
19:08
Speaker 1: down there, and they'll have their work cut out for him.
19:10
Speaker 1: But if you're gonna bet on anybody, I'd bet on
19:12
Speaker 1: number three and Pete most definitely. Another thing. DK showed
19:15
Speaker 1: us exactly who he is. He is just scratching the surface.
19:19
Speaker 1: This guy's mad potential. I look at him and he
19:21
Speaker 1: had his best game as a professional, and I look
19:24
Speaker 1: at the film, I'm like, man, he stick out some
19:26
Speaker 1: things he can get better at and he just had
19:28
Speaker 1: seven catches for one sixty and setting NFL records. So
19:31
Speaker 1: the fact that he is just scratching the surface, now, NFC, AFC,
19:36
Speaker 1: the NFL, y'all better be aware of this young man
19:38
Speaker 1: Number four teen. Yeah, take notice. Man, he's out there.
19:41
Speaker 1: I think I think the word is out it. It
19:43
Speaker 1: was cool that you got to do that on the
19:44
Speaker 1: national stage. Everybody watching the last game of wild Card weekend,
19:47
Speaker 1: which was a great weekend. Quick sidebar shout out to
19:50

19:55
Speaker 1: it did happen, So good for you. Appreciate, appreciateate. You know, hey, hey,
19:59
Speaker 1: blind lion scorifies another you know what I mean? Another thing.
20:03
Speaker 1: The Seahawks are just two wins away from the Super Bowl.
20:06
Speaker 1: They survived and they advanced. You just go to Green Bay.
20:09
Speaker 1: You do what it is you do. I like the matchup.
20:12
Speaker 1: I would have preferred going to San franci to smack
20:15
Speaker 1: those dudes and remind them whose boss. But they're going
20:18
Speaker 1: to Green Bay, lambeau Field in January. Where else would
20:23
Speaker 1: you would you want to play against Aaron Rodgers, against
20:26
Speaker 1: Aaron Jones, Vonte Adams. They got a squad. The Seahawks
20:30
Speaker 1: have a squad. I think they're rough for the challenge. Again.
20:33
Speaker 1: This is Michael Bumps along with NASA Chobyta recappetition. The
20:37
Speaker 1: Seahawks beat the Eagles seventeen to nine. Sound familiar in
20:40
Speaker 1: advance to the Vision round of the playoffs. It's been
20:43
Speaker 1: real well, howlod you next time windon, Lindain Tindall
