0:29
Speaker 1: place on this team. Powered by Seahawks dot Com. What Up, Twelves,
0:34
Speaker 1: This is Hawg Talk Recap Edition. I'm Michael Bampas along
0:38
Speaker 1: with Nasa Chelby. The Seahawks beat the Washington football team
0:41
Speaker 1: twenty to fifteen, and like we do every Monday, let's
0:45
Speaker 1: get a different perspective and talk to Big Ray. Is
0:47
Speaker 1: getting these trenches. It's time to go inside the trenches
0:52
Speaker 1: with former Seahawk Ray Roberts. Big Ray. What's up, man,
0:58
Speaker 1: Ugly win? People are criticizing this football team over a win,
1:02
Speaker 1: but you play many years in the league, A win
1:04
Speaker 1: is a win. You'll correct things, but you'll you'll take
1:06
Speaker 1: the w and you know, the way I look at it,
1:09
Speaker 1: Big Mike, is that there are no ugly wins. Every
1:12
Speaker 1: win is beautiful. Just because you know it didn't look
1:15
Speaker 1: like the perfectly painted picture doesn't mean that it's not beautiful,
1:19
Speaker 1: So you'll take them at this time of the year
1:22
Speaker 1: anyway you can get him. It's kind of like that,
1:24
Speaker 1: you know, the playoffs has kind of started already, so
1:26
Speaker 1: it's kind of like the surviving advanced mode. So I'm
1:28
Speaker 1: cool with it. Yep, I'm with you, man. Let's get
1:31
Speaker 1: Ryan into the run game. I mean, Russell had a
1:33
Speaker 1: big run of thirty eight yard run, Carlos Hyde had
1:35
Speaker 1: a big run, Chris Carson touched the football, even Penny
1:38
Speaker 1: got involved. What did you see out of this run game?
1:41
Speaker 1: And what do you think we need to see more of?
1:43
Speaker 1: You know, what I saw is kind of what I've
1:46
Speaker 1: been saying all years that this offense works much better
1:50
Speaker 1: when you have the running game. And so Chris Carson
1:54
Speaker 1: had his you know, normal fourteen attempts in sixty sixty
1:57
Speaker 1: or so yards, and you combine that with the fifty
2:00
Speaker 1: five yards from Carlos Hid, they both, you know, together
2:03
Speaker 1: average probably a little over five yards to carry. And
2:05
Speaker 1: so I think when you do that, it allows the
2:08
Speaker 1: offense to stay on schedule. Uh, it also energizes that
2:11
Speaker 1: offensive line man like they when you when you get
2:14
Speaker 1: to make a defender. So last week I talked a
2:16
Speaker 1: lot about this offense making the defense defend the entire field,
2:20
Speaker 1: whereas an offensive linement, you want the defensive linement to
2:23
Speaker 1: have to play the entire game. And so I want
2:26
Speaker 1: to be able to run the ball to make him
2:28
Speaker 1: have to defend the run, and I want him and
2:30
Speaker 1: then and then also throw the ball. And so with
2:33
Speaker 1: this team that likes to get out to the quarterback,
2:36
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, Big Mike, and I said it in
2:37
Speaker 1: the pre game. I've never played against a team that
2:40
Speaker 1: had a lot of pass rushers who liked the noise
2:43
Speaker 1: of the running game. And so I think the running
2:45
Speaker 1: game really neutralized that pass to us. I feel that.
2:48
Speaker 1: And speaking of the pass rus man, this offensive line
2:51
Speaker 1: had a guy, Missy hat Shell missing, got the tackle
2:53
Speaker 1: spot Cedric filled in for him. Didn't allow a sack
2:56
Speaker 1: against the team who came into this game having forty sacks.
2:59
Speaker 1: Chase with five and a half, Montes Sweat with seven.
3:02
Speaker 1: What was your overall feel of the performance of this
3:04
Speaker 1: offensive line against one of the best d lines in
3:07
Speaker 1: the league. You know, they did a great job, Mike,
3:09
Speaker 1: And uh, you know, I just went back. I haven't,
3:11
Speaker 1: like you know, been able to see the whole twenty two,
3:13
Speaker 1: but just looking at the game recap last night, you know,
3:17
Speaker 1: Cedric to me played with a lot more confident that
3:20
Speaker 1: he played with a lot better technique. He seemed like
3:23
Speaker 1: he was more sure of himself about what he was
3:25
Speaker 1: trying to get accomplished on the different run plays or
3:28
Speaker 1: past places. He's not the same players as Sale shows
3:31
Speaker 1: more powerful, Uh, Cedric a little bit more athletic, and
3:34
Speaker 1: so he used his athleticism better in that game. And
3:37
Speaker 1: then I mean, you can't speak enough to Dwayne Brown,
3:39
Speaker 1: like you know, a lot of people are thinking about
3:41
Speaker 1: case Young and all the hype that has come with him,
3:44
Speaker 1: and and Dwayne Brown just eats into his position and
3:47
Speaker 1: played the game did he normally plays. The dude is
3:49
Speaker 1: an All Pro, first team All Pro. To me, he's
3:52
Speaker 1: an all Pro dude, all Pro player. And uh, and
3:54
Speaker 1: it showed even uh, you know, yesterday just kind of
3:57
Speaker 1: training the rookie on what it's like to go up
3:59
Speaker 1: against a big and so I thought they did a
4:01
Speaker 1: very good job. Unfortunately, you know, Russell didn't have all
4:03
Speaker 1: the numbers, but a lot of that was like some
4:05
Speaker 1: of the coverage and some of the game plan just
4:08
Speaker 1: running to keep them off balanced. Let's stand this offensive line.
4:11
Speaker 1: Mikey Potty went out with a neck injury. Guysman banged
4:14
Speaker 1: up the last couple of years. Jordan Simmon comes in.
4:17
Speaker 1: How do you think he looked? And how important are
4:19
Speaker 1: these drests for Jordan in the future. You know what,
4:21
Speaker 1: I think the thing that itself Jordan this year is
4:24
Speaker 1: that they've rotated him in from the very beginning. So
4:28
Speaker 1: even when your Potty was healthy around your midway through
4:31
Speaker 1: the first quarter, early second quarter, Jordan would come into
4:34
Speaker 1: games and get you know, a couple of series. And
4:36
Speaker 1: so I think having him getting used to plan on
4:39
Speaker 1: a consistent basis versus having to just come in cold
4:42
Speaker 1: as a backup and try to get ready has helped
4:45
Speaker 1: him a lot. He brings a lot more athleticism to
4:47
Speaker 1: the position. Mike is a much bigger dude, like just
4:52
Speaker 1: he just takes up more in space, but Simmons brings
4:55
Speaker 1: more athleticism youthfulness helped to it, and he's always been
4:59
Speaker 1: like their type of player, like a real strongmawler, you know,
5:02
Speaker 1: put me into a phone move, let me fight with
5:04
Speaker 1: a dude type player. And so I've been really impressed
5:07
Speaker 1: impressed with this play. Unfortunately, the the Washington football team
5:12
Speaker 1: made some ajustice in the second half to kind of
5:14
Speaker 1: shut the offense down and apart along with just the
5:17
Speaker 1: way the play calling and the way we're playing the game,
5:20
Speaker 1: and so they didn't really get to expand the running
5:22
Speaker 1: game the way they wanted to. But I've been really
5:24
Speaker 1: pleased with Simmons play. And then I was super impressed
5:27
Speaker 1: without Cedric played, because even Cedric, you would think they
5:30
Speaker 1: were putting a whole lot of help over there, and
5:32
Speaker 1: a lot of times he was blocked in sweat by himself.
5:36
Speaker 1: Let's get to next week, man, you got the Rams
5:37
Speaker 1: coming up this for the NFC West Championship. Now, the
5:41
Speaker 1: last time the Hawks played the Rams, they didn't have
5:43
Speaker 1: Carlos High, they didn't have Carson r Posing. So they're
5:46
Speaker 1: gonna have these guys available. Is that gonna be key
5:49
Speaker 1: in winning this football game on Sunday? I think so,
5:52
Speaker 1: because you know we've talked about the last couple of weeks,
5:54
Speaker 1: is uh this deep. This offense has to make the
5:58
Speaker 1: defense doings that they don't want to do. So they
6:03
Speaker 1: want to get after the quarterback. Aaron Donald wants to
6:05
Speaker 1: rush the quarterback, Floyd wants to rush the quarterback. That's
6:08
Speaker 1: kind of what they want to do. And they want
6:09
Speaker 1: to sit back and play coverage and look for turnovers.
6:13
Speaker 1: I think you have to establish the run game so
6:15
Speaker 1: that they too have to defend everybody. Aaron Donald's going
6:18
Speaker 1: to be a build to the something to deal with
6:21
Speaker 1: no matter what path a run. But I think you
6:24
Speaker 1: give your offensive line a better chance of having more
6:27
Speaker 1: success if they're able to run the ball. And quite honestly,
6:30
Speaker 1: like I'm cool with how they're trying to ease, you know,
6:33
Speaker 1: keep you know, Carson to us a snap count, but
6:36
Speaker 1: I think his fourteen carries, which he's just been kind
6:38
Speaker 1: of averaging all year when he's played, I think that
6:41
Speaker 1: needs to bump up to maybe twenty and twenty two
6:43
Speaker 1: carries this week and get him over that century mark.
6:46
Speaker 1: And I think that would really make a difference in
6:47
Speaker 1: the ball game. What do you think about Penny? How
6:50
Speaker 1: how should they use Penny? How many touch does you
6:51
Speaker 1: think you should get I'm like Pete, I listen to
6:54
Speaker 1: your interview with him earlier today, and I just think that,
6:58
Speaker 1: you know, easing a man get his five ten touches,
7:00
Speaker 1: you know, too bad they couldn't stay ahead of the
7:03
Speaker 1: change when he was in this week to get a
7:04
Speaker 1: little bit more in the action. But also like just
7:07
Speaker 1: getting him out on screens and stuff. He's a fast dude.
7:09
Speaker 1: Like get him out of space with a few blockers
7:11
Speaker 1: in front of him. Let him use that kind of speed, uh,
7:14
Speaker 1: you know, to to make a play that way, But
7:16
Speaker 1: just ease him in five or ten plays and then
7:18
Speaker 1: if he if the game dictates a few more than that,
7:21
Speaker 1: and then get him a few more than that. The
7:23
Speaker 1: Hawks ran a few more smoke screens this game that
7:26
Speaker 1: we've seen the last couple of weeks. Actually, they ran
7:28
Speaker 1: a few more smoke swings than we're used to seeing.
7:30
Speaker 1: M Do you like that as a as like a
7:32
Speaker 1: third option for a run. Yeah, I'm glad you asked
7:35
Speaker 1: that question, because there's two things I think that I like.
7:38
Speaker 1: One is those smoke screens that kind of frustrates the
7:42
Speaker 1: pass rush because they they they're they're trying to get
7:44
Speaker 1: to the quarterback and the balls out of the quarterback's
7:46
Speaker 1: hand before they can even get their hand off the ground.
7:48
Speaker 1: So that helps, you know, frustrate that pass rush slows
7:51
Speaker 1: it down. And the other thing too might get should
7:53
Speaker 1: become a consistent part of the run game. Is the
7:57
Speaker 1: fly sweet using penny hard or swaying. Just make them
8:01
Speaker 1: part of the run games, because that makes the defensive
8:04
Speaker 1: line that the linebackers slowed down just enough that if
8:06
Speaker 1: you're running the zone behind that you allow those double
8:09
Speaker 1: teams to get established and you're allowed the guard or
8:11
Speaker 1: the tackle to get up to the second level. And
8:13
Speaker 1: I think if they made that a consistent part, even
8:15
Speaker 1: just using that motion after running it two or three times,
8:19
Speaker 1: running the fly sweet two or three times, and did
8:21
Speaker 1: you use that motion, it's enough to make the defense
8:24
Speaker 1: to have to hesitate for just a split second. That
8:26
Speaker 1: didn't allow those blocks to develop. And so I like
8:29
Speaker 1: the success we've had with the fly sweets. Even if
8:32
Speaker 1: you just pick five or six yards, it's enough to
8:35
Speaker 1: keep the defense on us. I'm with you. I like
8:37
Speaker 1: the game plan. Let's draw something up and then we'll
8:39
Speaker 1: send it to Pete on like a Wednesday. See if
8:41
Speaker 1: you can put that in there. We got the answer, brother,
8:45
Speaker 1: They just need to listen to it, all right, Rail
8:48
Speaker 1: as always, Man, appreciate you taking time. I'll talk to
8:51
Speaker 1: you soon, dude, Yes, sir, see you later. Book. All right, Well,
8:55
Speaker 1: you know what, now, let's bring getting nasaid Choby and
8:58
Speaker 1: talk about what really happened in this See what happened
9:01
Speaker 1: at first, what had happened was undo. What had happened
9:09
Speaker 1: was the Seahawks won another football game. Go across the country,
9:13
Speaker 1: take on the Washington football team, beat them twenty to fifteen.
9:16
Speaker 1: And here's the deal, man. I love how you brought
9:17
Speaker 1: it up with Ray, you brought it up with coach
9:19
Speaker 1: on the radio port game this morning. There's no side
9:22
Speaker 1: points the NFL. This isn't the old BCS, this isn't
9:25
Speaker 1: the college football playoffs, how much, how good your wins look,
9:28
Speaker 1: how badger losses look, none of that. And the National
9:30
Speaker 1: Football League it's all about wins. So I don't really care, man, Yes,
9:33
Speaker 1: because the Seahawks have played a cleaner game and some
9:36
Speaker 1: fasts of the game, absolutely no question about it. Did
9:38
Speaker 1: they play really well in certain aspects? Of course they did.
9:41
Speaker 1: But to me, wins or wins and nothing is more
9:44
Speaker 1: paints that picture better than what happened to the Los
9:48
Speaker 1: Angeles Rams against the Jets. Everyone had something to say
9:52
Speaker 1: last league, you only beat them forty one three, you're
9:54
Speaker 1: supposed to blah blah blah blah, this and that. Well,
9:57
Speaker 1: guess what, that's why they play the game's pump. So
10:02
Speaker 1: I show up. Can't just show up. Can't just say, oh,
10:05
Speaker 1: we're playing the Jets, so it's all good, and you can't.
10:07
Speaker 1: You couldn't just say we're just playing the Washington football team,
10:10
Speaker 1: because let me remind you, this is probably the top
10:13
Speaker 1: two three defensive line in the league. Not only do
10:15
Speaker 1: they have Chase Yum and Monte Sweat, they got three
10:18
Speaker 1: for other guys who can get after the quarterback. And
10:20
Speaker 1: I think that's what we saw in this game. The
10:22
Speaker 1: first two and a half quarters, Hawks had things going.
10:26
Speaker 1: They're moving the football, and the second quarter they come out,
10:28
Speaker 1: they drive down the field, Russell has a big rum
10:30
Speaker 1: and you feel like things are going well. But teams adjust,
10:34
Speaker 1: and I think that's what we saw with this football team. Now,
10:36
Speaker 1: Chase Young and Montes Sweat didn't have a sack, but
10:39
Speaker 1: they were still affecting the pocket and the run game. Yeah, no,
10:43
Speaker 1: And that's the thing, like you mentioned adjustments, because the
10:45
Speaker 1: Seahawks were doing from that Carlos high touchdown early in
10:49
Speaker 1: the third quarter, they kind of have the Seahawks number,
10:51
Speaker 1: and the Seahawks in that second half, if you look
10:54
Speaker 1: at their drive tart, they went touchdown and then they
10:56
Speaker 1: went punt, punt, interception punt at the game, so they
10:59
Speaker 1: really didn't get much going. They had one drive where
11:03
Speaker 1: they were driving the ball there at leasing field goal
11:05
Speaker 1: rains and Russ had that flukey interception or he's trying
11:07
Speaker 1: to I think he's trying to throw to Carsoner's hide
11:10
Speaker 1: or someone on the sideline sweat tips hit they make
11:12
Speaker 1: a play interception. Really unfortunate. That was kind of the
11:15
Speaker 1: only drive they had going in the second half. But
11:17
Speaker 1: you also got to look at two on another series,
11:20
Speaker 1: we could have had a first down on a three
11:22
Speaker 1: and out and the ball went through Hide's hand on
11:24
Speaker 1: the sideline. So they adjusted, they did some things, but overall,
11:27
Speaker 1: I'm super impressed with what this team was able to
11:30
Speaker 1: do going against the front that we knew was good.
11:32
Speaker 1: That most people who really watched the film knew how
11:34
Speaker 1: good they were and how good this defense was. So
11:36
Speaker 1: I was still impressed the way overall how this offense played. Yep,
11:40
Speaker 1: I'm all all right with it. Now I'm even better
11:42
Speaker 1: with how this defense play man to end the game
11:45
Speaker 1: once again, Dunlap just grown man's a grown man, bench
11:49
Speaker 1: presses him, gets to the quarterback for a sack. Callier
11:51
Speaker 1: had a sack late in the game. Benson Mayoa had
11:53
Speaker 1: a near sack. It's nice to see this defense closed
11:57
Speaker 1: team's album because you're gonna need this defense to do
11:59
Speaker 1: that you mentioned earlier. There's no style points in this league.
12:02
Speaker 1: I'll win a game seven to six. We'll correct it afterwards,
12:05
Speaker 1: but if we have one more point than another team,
12:07
Speaker 1: I will take it. But it's even better to see
12:10
Speaker 1: this defensive line specifically closed games out well, especially because
12:14
Speaker 1: they didn't. They had trouble getting into the quarterback for
12:16
Speaker 1: most of the day. It wasn't like they had nineteen
12:18
Speaker 1: sacks and there get after. So it was tough throughout
12:21
Speaker 1: the middle, especially in the third quarter. I feel like
12:22
Speaker 1: we were on the field a lot. We were on
12:24
Speaker 1: a fourteen play scoring drive, then the offense went three
12:27
Speaker 1: and out and they're right back on the field. So
12:28
Speaker 1: they're on the field for the majority of the second half,
12:30
Speaker 1: especially in that fourth quarter, but when the game was
12:32
Speaker 1: on the line, as they've done many times this year,
12:34
Speaker 1: whether it was against the Rams or excuse me, whether
12:37
Speaker 1: it's against the Patriots, whether it's against the Cowboys, whether
12:41
Speaker 1: it's against the Vikings, this team made plays defensively when
12:44
Speaker 1: they absolutely had to. So it's great to see Carlos Stunlap,
12:46
Speaker 1: who's been an unbelievab addition to this football team. LJ. Collier,
12:50
Speaker 1: who's taking a lot of heat, who just keeps getting
12:52
Speaker 1: after in ment to Mayo. So it's great to see
12:53
Speaker 1: those guys get after it and this D line because
12:55
Speaker 1: we're definitely gonna need them down stretch, and we can't
12:57
Speaker 1: ignore the things that happen on offense. I think they
13:00
Speaker 1: needs to get better on third downs. There were five
13:02
Speaker 1: or twelve on third downs. Meanwhile the Washington football team
13:04
Speaker 1: ten for seventeen nas. I think if they fix third downs,
13:09
Speaker 1: this offense looks that much better because it's all about
13:12
Speaker 1: keeping drives alive, and when you do that, you do
13:14
Speaker 1: that on third downs. If you're if you're high, if
13:17
Speaker 1: you're completing a hYP percentage of third downs, that means
13:19
Speaker 1: you're eating up the clock. As well, you're taking opportunities
13:22
Speaker 1: away from that other team. Yes, Russell didn't have his
13:26
Speaker 1: greatest day when it comes to stats, but it felt right.
13:29
Speaker 1: It felt like he was doing what he needed to
13:31
Speaker 1: do to win. He was eighteen to twenty seven one
13:32
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty one yards through an interception. I feel
13:35
Speaker 1: like that was just a better play by Montest Sweat.
13:37
Speaker 1: It got his hands up, knocked the ball. Things are
13:40
Speaker 1: gonna happen when you do that. But it's all about
13:43
Speaker 1: the defense. No style points, and we still got some playmakers.
13:46
Speaker 1: Let's see what we got playmakers. Well, there's only one
14:00
Speaker 1: place to start, in my opinion, and that's on defense.
14:03
Speaker 1: D J Reid, my guy was falling yesterday. Six tackles,
14:08
Speaker 1: three passes defended, got one beautiful interception, And think about
14:11
Speaker 1: DJ Reid. Obviously everyone knows a story. By now, he
14:14
Speaker 1: got hurt. He's playing for the forty nine ers. He
14:16
Speaker 1: heard his pack John Lynch since said hey, we don't
14:18
Speaker 1: think he'll be able to play this year. We're gonna
14:19
Speaker 1: cut you if we can get you back. He does
14:21
Speaker 1: not clear waivers. John Schneider picks him up after doing
14:24
Speaker 1: some great scouting within the pro personnel department. He comes
14:27
Speaker 1: to this team, comes back in his first game against
14:29
Speaker 1: the forty nine ers, gets a pick, plays well, but
14:32
Speaker 1: I honestly bump. I don't know where this football team
14:34
Speaker 1: would be without DJ read. The secondary's been banged up
14:37
Speaker 1: all season long. You've had injuries to Quit and Dunbar,
14:40
Speaker 1: Jamal Adams digs, We lost Marquis Blair, Hugomadi has been
14:44
Speaker 1: banging So there's been so many injuries throughout that secondary.
14:46
Speaker 1: So DJ Reid and honestly, for me, I don't know
14:49
Speaker 1: how you take him out of starting lineup. Way he's
14:51
Speaker 1: playing right now, I leave him in there. I know
14:53
Speaker 1: you're paying Dunbar a whole bunch of money, but he's
14:56
Speaker 1: got to earn his spot. DJ three passes defended, one interception.
15:00
Speaker 1: His interception interception was such a savvy play. He's dropping
15:03
Speaker 1: down to the third, his receiver runs a post, passes
15:06
Speaker 1: him off to the safety, seas the crossing round jumps
15:09
Speaker 1: on the football. I asked Pete earlier, how does he
15:11
Speaker 1: feel about his instincts. He loves his instincts. Okay, some
15:15
Speaker 1: more playmakers Chris Carson and Carlos Carson had fifteen carry
15:18
Speaker 1: sixty three yards two receptions for six yards. Hyde had
15:22
Speaker 1: two carries for fifty five yards and a touchdown, a
15:25
Speaker 1: great touchdown that we're gonna talk about later in the
15:27
Speaker 1: Coach's Corner, and big ups Rashad Penny. Rashad got back
15:31
Speaker 1: in the game first time plans is December eight, twenty nineteen.
15:35
Speaker 1: He had a couple of carries, one anything special, but
15:38
Speaker 1: he's got to feel a pop of the pass. He's
15:39
Speaker 1: got to get back in the game. Overall, his team
15:42
Speaker 1: rushed for what one hundred eighty eight rushing yards or
15:44
Speaker 1: something like that, their second highest total of the year.
15:49
Speaker 1: I believe they had two hundred once or twice this year.
15:52
Speaker 1: But nice to see the run game getting going in
15:54
Speaker 1: all three of the backs we thought we were gonna
15:57
Speaker 1: feature this year getting touches. Oh, it's great to see
16:00
Speaker 1: all those guys. That's what we thought this running back
16:01
Speaker 1: room is gonna look like, not knowing when Rashad was
16:04
Speaker 1: going to come back, but this is what we signed
16:05
Speaker 1: up for. We want to see Chris Carson, his hard
16:07
Speaker 1: nose run. He runs the football. Carlos Hyde is a
16:09
Speaker 1: great change up, and then Penny does things that those
16:12
Speaker 1: guys don't do when he's fully healthy, his speed and
16:14
Speaker 1: some of the cuts that he makes so great to
16:16
Speaker 1: see all of them out there balling out and they
16:19
Speaker 1: went to have got all those yards if it wasn't
16:20
Speaker 1: from the men up front. Man, let's talk about this
16:22
Speaker 1: offensive line allowed zero sacks for the second game in
16:25
Speaker 1: a row, which is crazy because before last week there
16:27
Speaker 1: had not been a game Russell hadn't been sacked, and
16:30
Speaker 1: all we heard about all week was how good the
16:32
Speaker 1: Washington defensive line was. Right, And that's not a lie.
16:34
Speaker 1: They're all first round picks. They're all incredibly talented football players.
16:38
Speaker 1: The Seahawks did this without starting right tackle Brandon Show
16:42
Speaker 1: for most of the game, for the whole game, and
16:44
Speaker 1: then Mikey Potti missed most of the game. So rady
16:46
Speaker 1: to see Jordan Simmons step up. Cedric Boy, he step up.
16:49
Speaker 1: And this line's playing one that's confidence, and I think
16:52
Speaker 1: I think they need that, especially once again going up
16:54
Speaker 1: against the Rams. We'll talk so much about the Rams
16:56
Speaker 1: this week, but the offensive line is playing their best football.
17:00
Speaker 1: Anytime Russell stays out right and doesn't get sack is
17:02
Speaker 1: a good day in my book. Keep that jersey clean.
17:06
Speaker 1: You want your quarterback walking off the field with no
17:08
Speaker 1: grass stains, and he probably had a grass stand because
17:10
Speaker 1: he ran and he slid, but it wasn't from pressure
17:13
Speaker 1: from the defensive line. Big up to that offensive line,
17:16
Speaker 1: do what you gotta do next, playmaker Jamal Adams. All
17:19
Speaker 1: he does is make tackles, nine tackles, one tackle for loss,
17:22
Speaker 1: one sack, putting him over double digits on the year.
17:25
Speaker 1: Where's he at now? He's at ten and a half
17:27
Speaker 1: right now tonight? Yeah, Hey, Jamal Adams doing and his sack,
17:32
Speaker 1: he was on the other side of the field. He
17:34
Speaker 1: wasn't even supposed to be in that play. He runs
17:36
Speaker 1: the receiver as receiver runs a quarterback down. Um. Jamal
17:41
Speaker 1: Adams is a special player. And I think people really
17:45
Speaker 1: need to realize what the Hawks got in this guy.
17:48
Speaker 1: Everyone before the season, not everyone, A lot of people. Oh,
17:50
Speaker 1: two first rounders, that's too much. Do you still feel
17:53
Speaker 1: that way? If you do, I don't I need you
17:56
Speaker 1: to take the see aw Jersey All. I think it
17:58
Speaker 1: was worth it, no question about. Here's the thing, go
18:00
Speaker 1: draft somebody. You're not gonna draft anyone in the first
18:02
Speaker 1: round this year on defense is going to be as
18:04
Speaker 1: impactful as Jamal Adams is for the Seahawks right now.
18:07
Speaker 1: So love it. I love his enthusiasm, his excitement after
18:10
Speaker 1: the game, getting the postseason for the first time. That
18:13
Speaker 1: everyone here in the Pacific Northwest who's been falling the
18:16
Speaker 1: team since, you know, the early two thousands has been
18:18
Speaker 1: really spoiled with how many times we've been to the postseason.
18:22
Speaker 1: Don't take it for granted, don't take wins for granted.
18:24
Speaker 1: And it's great to see guys like Jamal and Carlos
18:27
Speaker 1: Dunlap who don't go to the playoffs every year, and
18:30
Speaker 1: for Jamal's his first time ever. So we got some
18:32
Speaker 1: special going on over here, and Jamal Adams is a
18:34
Speaker 1: big reason for that. Defensively, Less was balling nass. We
18:37
Speaker 1: had to wags. You know, a typical Bobby Wagner's stat
18:40
Speaker 1: line thirteen tackles, one past defended. I think Bobby does
18:44
Speaker 1: a lot of stuff that doesn't get recognized. Some people
18:46
Speaker 1: might say, oh, well, he's not making on the flash
18:48
Speaker 1: plays he used to. Well, he's doing what they're asking
18:50
Speaker 1: him to do in this defense. They're asking him to
18:52
Speaker 1: make plays, they're asking him to stop the run, They're
18:53
Speaker 1: asking him to do a lot of stuff in coverage
18:56
Speaker 1: That is really hard for a middle linebacker to do,
18:58
Speaker 1: play sideline to sideline. So Bobby's doing his thing, and
19:00
Speaker 1: then you go to the defensive lineman. We've been talking
19:02
Speaker 1: about them a little bit, but LJ. Coller, Carlos Dunlap,
19:06
Speaker 1: Benson Mayo that final drive sack sack and the Mayo
19:10
Speaker 1: would have had a sack forced the holding penalty. Ends
19:12
Speaker 1: of the game. Can't say enough about those boys upfront,
19:15
Speaker 1: boys up front getting it done. B wax on it.
19:17
Speaker 1: It's crazy. How how if the boys upfront ball out,
19:21
Speaker 1: that second level of balls out, then that third level
19:23
Speaker 1: can do their thing as well. Hey, it's all correlated, folks.
19:26
Speaker 1: You need all three levels to play. Well, that's what
19:29
Speaker 1: we've been seeing these past few weeks. Or let's talk
19:32
Speaker 1: about the receiver room. DK had five for forty three
19:36
Speaker 1: on six targets and man had a scary moment we
19:39
Speaker 1: went up for football in the end zone. Hyper extinted
19:41
Speaker 1: that knee. It's almost like he hyper extinted his knee.
19:44
Speaker 1: Then his chest almost touched his knee because he fell.
19:47
Speaker 1: For this dude, Now only is he swollen, he's flexible.
19:51
Speaker 1: So big up to your yoga trainer. You're your personal trainer,
19:54
Speaker 1: whoever you are working with. DK. They got you out
19:56
Speaker 1: of that sticky situation. We got Tyler Lockett four for
20:00
Speaker 1: thirty four yards. He needs eighty yards to get a thousand.
20:04
Speaker 1: I almost feel like I want to force this man
20:06
Speaker 1: the ball. They want him to give his thousand yards.
20:09
Speaker 1: Let's make that happen. Pete Guy. Jacob Alister had two
20:12
Speaker 1: for seventeen and a touchdown. His route during his touchdown
20:16
Speaker 1: which is him sitting down and wrote so far and
20:18
Speaker 1: a fastball. He probably shouldn't have got that bull honesty,
20:21
Speaker 1: like he kind of brought his guy towards him. But
20:24
Speaker 1: when you got a patre on the mound tossing heat,
20:26
Speaker 1: you're good. David Moore had two for ten, Carlos Hide
20:29
Speaker 1: had two for a Chris Carson had two for six.
20:31
Speaker 1: Freddie Swain, you only have one, but he keeps popping
20:34
Speaker 1: up on the stat sheet, Freddy, keep doing your thing, baby,
20:37
Speaker 1: All right now, we're gonna break down and play him
20:39
Speaker 1: the coach's quarner. Carlos Hide had a fifty yard touchdown
20:43
Speaker 1: run giving the ball off to Hide and he breaks
20:46
Speaker 1: free inside the forty down to the thirty. He's on
20:48
Speaker 1: the run. Twenty fifteen ten. He's gonna go in touchdown.
20:52
Speaker 1: She huks Chris Carson loosened him up and Carlos Hide
20:56
Speaker 1: makes some pain as Carlos takes a touchdown in from
21:00
Speaker 1: fifty yards out extend their lead. On this opening drive
21:05
Speaker 1: of the second half nineteen to three, Carlos Hide water run.
21:12
Speaker 1: So the Hawks come out on a big boy formation
21:13
Speaker 1: and got two tight ends to the top of the formation.
21:16
Speaker 1: Two receivers down at the bottom. Got excuse me, Jacob
21:19
Speaker 1: Hollister goes in most Now. Jacob Hollister is not known
21:21
Speaker 1: for his blocking, but he delivers a great block here.
21:24
Speaker 1: It looks like a zone concept. What really makes this
21:27
Speaker 1: thing work? I want you to look at the right guard,
21:30
Speaker 1: right guard? Is that see the ninety right guard? Seven
21:32
Speaker 1: the right tackle. Excuse me a boy, he doubles down
21:35
Speaker 1: on that three take, gets to the linebacker, cleans that up.
21:39
Speaker 1: Now Jacob Hollister fires around. He emotions to the left
21:43
Speaker 1: side of the formation. Then when the ball stamps, he
21:45
Speaker 1: cuts back to the right and helps a boy he boom.
21:48
Speaker 1: Then he hits another guy and the rest is Carlos
21:51
Speaker 1: Hide makes a great cut, gets his knees up. He says, Look,
21:54
Speaker 1: I can make big plays too, That's why you brought
21:57
Speaker 1: me here. This was a huge play in the game. Yeah, dude,
22:00
Speaker 1: I think you nailed on the head. I think this
22:02
Speaker 1: is exactly what when he draw plays up in the
22:03
Speaker 1: run game, That's exactly what Mike Salari does every single week.
22:06
Speaker 1: Everyone doing their job. And the thing of that also
22:09
Speaker 1: love about this too. Russell had a big run earlier
22:11
Speaker 1: in that game, and you look at Sweat, who's the
22:14
Speaker 1: left defensive end on the defense's left. He is so
22:17
Speaker 1: enamored with getting sacks. He runs straight up field with
22:20
Speaker 1: all eyes on Russell hoping it's a play action where
22:22
Speaker 1: Russell keeps the ball gets completely out of position because
22:25
Speaker 1: that hole should not be that big. Even with how
22:28
Speaker 1: good everyone was blocking this, Lely does a great job
22:30
Speaker 1: of pushing. I believe that's a corner linebacker blitz on
22:33
Speaker 1: the outside outside and then Carlos side. The thing I
22:35
Speaker 1: love about this is Carlos Hide almost looks like he's jogging.
22:39
Speaker 1: When I watched this lie but I was like, man,
22:40
Speaker 1: this look like he's moving. But then I watched the
22:42
Speaker 1: backside corner who's in a full pursuit and he is
22:45
Speaker 1: hauling and Carlos side just kind of glides right by
22:48
Speaker 1: him into the end zone. So great to see Carlos
22:50
Speaker 1: high get get, you know, getting some work into He's
22:52
Speaker 1: been working hard this year. He's been banged up. He
22:55
Speaker 1: had a thousand yards last year with Houston, so it's
22:57
Speaker 1: good to see him getting the action deceptive speed. Those
23:00
Speaker 1: are the worst ones where it looks like they're not moving.
23:03
Speaker 1: Then you realize, I gotta get on my horse. That's
23:05
Speaker 1: what Carls I did to that dB. He has to
23:07
Speaker 1: get on his horse. Eat and once again for the
23:10
Speaker 1: tenth time this year, we get to get in the
23:12
Speaker 1: greatest formation of all time. Here comes the Seahawk offense
23:17
Speaker 1: on to the field and the Vikings defense trudging out
23:20
Speaker 1: there knowing that one kneel down and the Seahawks are
23:25
Speaker 1: gonna wind the clock down and win this one. It's
23:27
Speaker 1: the victory formation on Hawk Talk. Victory formation. It is
23:33
Speaker 1: the best formation in football, and I love it because
23:35
Speaker 1: we get to see it for the tenth time this year.
23:38
Speaker 1: The Jets in New York got to experience it for
23:40
Speaker 1: the first time this season, so shout out to them
23:42
Speaker 1: for helping the Seahawks in the NCY West. But it's
23:44
Speaker 1: what it is. The Seahawks came in, they took care business.
23:46
Speaker 1: They beat a team they were supposed to beat. They've
23:48
Speaker 1: done that twice last two weeks. Washington is way better
23:51
Speaker 1: than people giving credit for the Seahawks. Knew that, came
23:53
Speaker 1: in with a great game plan, not worried about stats,
23:56
Speaker 1: and got the job done. Yes, and that run game
23:59
Speaker 1: got going to the second week in a row. They
24:00
Speaker 1: rushed for over one hundred and seventy that's what we're
24:03
Speaker 1: looking for. We know Russ is gonna do a thing.
24:05
Speaker 1: We know DK and Lockett are gonna have their games
24:07
Speaker 1: where they just get or done. But it's nice to
24:10
Speaker 1: see the big boys up front protect and provide holes
24:13
Speaker 1: for these running backs to get loose. And then you
24:16
Speaker 1: go to defense. Man they struggle a little bit down
24:18
Speaker 1: the stretch, but we're dominant in the first half to
24:20
Speaker 1: get the Seahawks a double digit lead, and then when
24:23
Speaker 1: the game was on the line, they did exactly what
24:25
Speaker 1: they're supposed to do, get it done. Almost three sacks
24:28
Speaker 1: in a row end of the game. It was great
24:30
Speaker 1: to see DJ Reid did his thing. He had three
24:33
Speaker 1: passes defended, one interception. All he doesn't make plays right corner,
24:37
Speaker 1: left corner, nickel pump return doesn't matter this guy. I
24:41
Speaker 1: feel life has found a spot on this team. No
24:44
Speaker 1: question about DJ read is an absolute ball or Big
24:46
Speaker 1: ups to the pro personnel John Snider for bringing him
24:49
Speaker 1: in Unless well, Bump, The Seahawks are in first place,
24:52
Speaker 1: setting up a division showdown against the Rams. NFC title
24:56
Speaker 1: is on the line. Pete talks about a couple of
24:57
Speaker 1: things every year owning the NFC West US have a
25:00
Speaker 1: chance to finally show everybody that this is our division.
25:03
Speaker 1: Get it done. Payback is up. You know what, you
25:06
Speaker 1: know what it is. The Rams are coming up north.
25:10
Speaker 1: We know it's gonna be a tough one. I don't
25:11
Speaker 1: care if they lost to the Jets. They played the
25:13
Speaker 1: Hawks up, but I think the Hawks are ready to go.
25:15
Speaker 1: There are special teams just playing good offense, defense all around.
25:20
Speaker 1: Let's get it together and go to eleven and four.
25:23
Speaker 1: All right, that has been hot talk. I am Michael Bump.
25:26
Speaker 1: Is he is Nasa Choby. The Hawks beat the Washington
25:28
Speaker 1: football team twenty to fifteen, setting up a showdown with
25:32
Speaker 1: the Rams. We will holler at y'all soon. Have a
25:35
Speaker 1: great one.
