0:01
Speaker 1: You're listening to Hawk Talk with former Seahawks wide receiver
0:05
Speaker 1: Michael Bumpus. After ten yard lives second to day free
0:08
Speaker 1: wide receivers now in motion has Pumpas left to right,
0:11
Speaker 1: Julius Jones, a single setback Matt pumpfecks looking at the
0:14
Speaker 1: goal line, he throws it into the end zone. Touchdown,
0:17
Speaker 1: Say Hawks, it's Michael Bumpas with a diving catching the
0:21
Speaker 1: end zone. Our ten yard touchdown reception for Puppas and
0:25
Speaker 1: the kid out of Washington State has found himself a
0:29
Speaker 1: place on this team. Powered by Seahawks dot Com. Was
0:33
Speaker 1: sub twelves. I am Michael Bumpas, along went Nasa Shoby.
0:36
Speaker 1: This is Hawk Talk recap, and unfortunately, unfortunately, we are
0:40
Speaker 1: talking about a loss. The Seahawks fall to the Bills
0:43
Speaker 1: forty four two thirty four. I don't think we're ready
0:46
Speaker 1: for this. I think you can take losses. I don't
0:48
Speaker 1: think we're ready for this type of loss. From the
0:50
Speaker 1: very first play of the game, Nasa Shoby, it felt
0:53
Speaker 1: like things weren't gonna go well. There's a sixty yard
0:56
Speaker 1: return on a kickoff, and then three plays later the
0:59
Speaker 1: Bills square and then the Hawks go three and out,
1:02
Speaker 1: And that's pretty much what this whole game felt like. Yeah,
1:05
Speaker 1: you couldn't got off to a worst start than that,
1:07
Speaker 1: Especially the Seahawks have been so well on special teams
1:09
Speaker 1: controlling the field position battle that happens three plays boom, boom, boom,
1:14
Speaker 1: and then you go three and out. Then you give
1:15
Speaker 1: up another touchdown, and it's never good in the NFL
1:17
Speaker 1: to jump give pee spot people essentially fourteen points right away,
1:20
Speaker 1: and you just kind of knew it was not going
1:22
Speaker 1: to be their day. Man, I'm kind of confused. I'm
1:24
Speaker 1: looking at a stat right, the Hawks gave up how
1:28
Speaker 1: many yards? Alan threw for four hundred and fifteen yards?
1:32
Speaker 1: And they lost? The Hawks lose. Usually the Hawks win
1:34
Speaker 1: when qbs throw for four hundred yards. I'm confused. This
1:37
Speaker 1: was like, this is a twenty twenty game, Like nothing
1:39
Speaker 1: felt right, Russell making poor decisions, the fumbles, Alan throw
1:43
Speaker 1: for four hundred when the week before it only threw
1:45
Speaker 1: the ball eighteen times the first half. The Bills only
1:48
Speaker 1: rushed to the ball three times. Everything that I expected
1:51
Speaker 1: to happen didn't happen in this game. Well, the thing
1:53
Speaker 1: about it too is we knew we said this early
1:55
Speaker 1: year eventually this was gonna happen. You can't allow people
1:58
Speaker 1: to throw for over four hundred yards and continue within
2:00
Speaker 1: those football games. I think this is Danny O'NEI always
2:02
Speaker 1: brings up this stat. I think it happened nine other times.
2:04
Speaker 1: It's the first time in the Seahawks did not come
2:07
Speaker 1: up victorious. But you're right, you're looking at the box score.
2:10
Speaker 1: It just doesn't make sense for a Seahawk football team
2:12
Speaker 1: turning the ball over four times, allowing them it Just
2:17
Speaker 1: as Pete said this morning, when he saw and you
2:19
Speaker 1: guys like, he couldn't recognize it. That's that's not something
2:21
Speaker 1: that Seahawk football is about. And he couldn't recognize the
2:23
Speaker 1: team that played on Sunday. It was tough. Well, we
2:26
Speaker 1: kind of already got into it, but let's talk about
2:28
Speaker 1: what happened. See what had happened at first, what had
2:33
Speaker 1: happened was undo. What had happened was Josh Allen was
2:39
Speaker 1: thirty one for thirty eight in the first quarter. He
2:42
Speaker 1: was twelve or fourteen, one hundred and fifty four yards
2:44
Speaker 1: and two touchdowns. He looked like the MVP candidate people
2:49
Speaker 1: were talking about the first four weeks in the NFL season,
2:52
Speaker 1: Stefon Diggs did his thing. He had nine catches one
2:55
Speaker 1: hundred eighteen yards. John Brown had eight catches ninety nine yards.
3:00
Speaker 1: It seemed like they could do no wrong offensively. I'll
3:04
Speaker 1: be I'll be honest. I got to give the Bills
3:06
Speaker 1: more credit than I gave them. Probably heading into that
3:08
Speaker 1: football game, I knew we were a good football team,
3:10
Speaker 1: but they came out. He just guns blazing. And Josh Allen,
3:14
Speaker 1: he we said it. He's a dog man like the dude.
3:17
Speaker 1: First of all, he is hard to bring down, like
3:20
Speaker 1: when you there's so many times, even though we ended
3:22
Speaker 1: up sacking him seven times. He's a big physical guy.
3:24
Speaker 1: When you come, you gotta come with it, and he
3:26
Speaker 1: just it was hard to watch. Man. But honestly, I
3:29
Speaker 1: have to give credit toward credit too, because between those
3:31
Speaker 1: three on offense, it didn't It seemed like they had
3:34
Speaker 1: everything right. Any defense we called, they had an answer
3:37
Speaker 1: for it. Once we started bringing pressure late in the games,
3:39
Speaker 1: they would drop some screens. It just feels like everything
3:41
Speaker 1: that they had going was the right call. And Josh
3:43
Speaker 1: Allen was special yesterday. Man, it seemed like every time
3:47
Speaker 1: the Seahawks wanted to run the ball, they blitzed the
3:49
Speaker 1: perfect gap, or the linebackers read it perfectly. This team
3:52
Speaker 1: just seemed really prepared. And on the flip side, defensively,
3:56
Speaker 1: the Hawks didn't seem that prepared. You hear Pete Carroll
3:59
Speaker 1: Talky said that they weren't expecting them to throw the
4:01
Speaker 1: ball the way that they did. And people can sit
4:03
Speaker 1: there and say, what do you mean you didn't expect
4:05
Speaker 1: them the week before they rushed for one hundred and
4:07
Speaker 1: ninety yards only throw the ball eighteen times. Me going
4:11
Speaker 1: into this game and I thought, I'm like, that's their formula.
4:13
Speaker 1: That's how they're gonna try to win ball games. But again,
4:16
Speaker 1: you tip your hat off to the offense and defensive coordinators.
4:19
Speaker 1: Offensive coordinator for the Bills saw a struggling dumbar, saw
4:23
Speaker 1: the cushion they were getting, and they were like, all right,
4:25
Speaker 1: let's switch the game up and throw the football. I'm
4:27
Speaker 1: interested to know if they went into this game thinking
4:30
Speaker 1: all right, we're gonna throw We're gonna throw the ball,
4:33
Speaker 1: or they just saw the health of this defense we
4:35
Speaker 1: are like, all right, let's switch it up and let's
4:36
Speaker 1: throw the rock. Well, that's the thing, you know, people
4:38
Speaker 1: always talk about when they get they get upset after
4:41
Speaker 1: losses and they want to blame coaching STAPs and whatnot.
4:44
Speaker 1: The Bills get paid to coach. There are guys too, right,
4:46
Speaker 1: So I honestly, I just gotta tip my hat because
4:48
Speaker 1: I think I don't think they came into this game
4:52
Speaker 1: thinking they're gonna throw it that much. I think they
4:54
Speaker 1: might have came in with more of a balanced game playing,
4:56
Speaker 1: specially after we saw last week. Because we saw, we
4:58
Speaker 1: sat here and talked about how we think that is
5:00
Speaker 1: their recipe to be successful moving forward. I think they
5:02
Speaker 1: came out, you know, you script your first couple of plays,
5:04
Speaker 1: and they had success early those first two drives. I
5:06
Speaker 1: think right after that they're like, Okay, if it's not broke,
5:09
Speaker 1: let's keep going to it. We're gonna throw the pill
5:11
Speaker 1: until they can stop it. And unfortunately for the Seahawks,
5:13
Speaker 1: they couldn't really stop it until the second half of times.
5:16
Speaker 1: And even that it was tough. It was tough man
5:19
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson through two interceptions, they turned the ball over
5:21
Speaker 1: four times. Pete through all the stat he said, Now
5:24
Speaker 1: it's not just don't quote me, but he pretty much said,
5:26
Speaker 1: teams who have turned the ball over four times or
5:29
Speaker 1: like two and one hundred and twenty or something like
5:31
Speaker 1: that over the past ten years. And there was a
5:34
Speaker 1: point in this game where the Hawks still had a chance.
5:37
Speaker 1: They were down seven late in the game, and then
5:39
Speaker 1: things happened the Bills score. But even with all that
5:42
Speaker 1: going on, all the madness, the Hawks still had a
5:45
Speaker 1: chance to win the game. And then on the positive side,
5:47
Speaker 1: they sacked the quarterback seven times. I had twelve sacks
5:50
Speaker 1: going into this game. They sacked the quarterback seven times.
5:52
Speaker 1: Newly acquired Carlos Dunlap got into the Minx Jay Reid
5:55
Speaker 1: had two and a half sacks. There are some positives
5:58
Speaker 1: to take away from this game, no question about It's
6:00
Speaker 1: not all bad. If you would have, first of all,
6:01
Speaker 1: if you told me we had seven sacks, right and
6:03
Speaker 1: all these ten quarterback hits and all these tackle for losses,
6:06
Speaker 1: I would say, hey, we won that game handily. And
6:08
Speaker 1: if if Josh Allen had thirty eight times then we
6:10
Speaker 1: sacked him seven, I would say the Seahawks won by
6:12
Speaker 1: at least fourteen. Obviously that didn't happen. But the positive
6:16
Speaker 1: to bring out of this is that they know they've
6:18
Speaker 1: seen it, they can do it. I love seeing Dunlap
6:20
Speaker 1: come out there and be successful right away. The one
6:23
Speaker 1: sack head it was a nice bull rush is pushed
6:25
Speaker 1: the tackle back into the quarterback, makes a nice play.
6:28
Speaker 1: He was good in the run game a few times.
6:29
Speaker 1: The Bills did actually run the football Jay Reid. Huge
6:33
Speaker 1: for Jay Reid. We've been waiting to see that kind
6:34
Speaker 1: of all years since really since twenty eighteen where we
6:37
Speaker 1: had ten sacks, so it was good to see him
6:39
Speaker 1: get two and a half. It was good to see
6:40
Speaker 1: poona Ford was active. So they did some nice things
6:43
Speaker 1: and when they dial up pressure, Obviously, Jamal Adams is
6:46
Speaker 1: one of the best in the Bids at getting to
6:47
Speaker 1: the quarterbacks, so I loved what I saw there. If
6:50
Speaker 1: they can find a way to share up some things
6:52
Speaker 1: on the back end and bring it all together, because
6:54
Speaker 1: last week we felt good about our past defense through
6:57
Speaker 1: three quarters, we had a little bit more pressure with
7:00
Speaker 1: Bobby Wagner. They need to put it together one week.
7:02
Speaker 1: It can't be one or the other. It can't be
7:04
Speaker 1: we're getting home in the pass rush and we're struggling
7:07
Speaker 1: the secondary or vice versa. It has to all come
7:09
Speaker 1: together and hopefully at least for the defensive line, that
7:11
Speaker 1: was the start of that. And they have to get healthy.
7:14
Speaker 1: I mean, Mail is out, Dumbar was struggling, Griffins out.
7:19
Speaker 1: You're not playing with the guys you expected to be
7:21
Speaker 1: on the field week one. And I know this is
7:24
Speaker 1: the NFL. Every team is dealing with injuries, but you're
7:27
Speaker 1: not playing your starters, you're playing twos, or you're playing
7:29
Speaker 1: guys who are banged up. Again, this defense is not
7:32
Speaker 1: just gonna They're not gonna get healthy. Now. This defense
7:34
Speaker 1: is one of the best defenses in the league. No,
7:36
Speaker 1: that's not who they are. But they can get healthy
7:38
Speaker 1: and at least change the perception of this defense a
7:42
Speaker 1: little bit. Well, it is what it is. You got
7:44
Speaker 1: who you got. You gotta lineup and play on to
7:47
Speaker 1: the next game. But let's talk about some of the
7:49
Speaker 1: guys who bought out the playmakers. Playmakers. Oh well, it
8:02
Speaker 1: was obviously a tough day for the Seahawks, But the
8:05
Speaker 1: crazy thing about this is we still scored thirty four points. Right,
8:08
Speaker 1: We still managed to hit our number. We leave the
8:10
Speaker 1: league in scoring offense, thirty four points. So we got
8:12
Speaker 1: to start with the quarterback Russell Wilson. Yes, he did
8:15
Speaker 1: have four turnovers, right, So Obviously, we can't ignore that
8:18
Speaker 1: he went twenty eight for forty one still through for
8:20
Speaker 1: three hundred and ninety yards and two touchdowns. He had
8:23
Speaker 1: two fumbles lost. I would say those probably are his fault.
8:26
Speaker 1: Maybe you could say the first one was and he
8:28
Speaker 1: stepping up in the pocket, but time and scored the game.
8:30
Speaker 1: We had to throw the ball as bunch as we did.
8:31
Speaker 1: The second one, he didn't see the blitz coming at all.
8:33
Speaker 1: He got hit, lifted off his feet. That was tough.
8:36
Speaker 1: He had ninety four point six QB rating. Again, this
8:40
Speaker 1: is kind of like the Arizona game. I kind of
8:42
Speaker 1: have that same feeling in terms of Russell's performance, where
8:44
Speaker 1: he played a solid game, He did things well, he
8:46
Speaker 1: made some really difficult throws. He just is just the turnovers,
8:51
Speaker 1: and like when we lose the turnover battle, we usually
8:54
Speaker 1: lose the game. So overall, I don't know what you
8:56
Speaker 1: saw from him. I think he still played great. It's
8:58
Speaker 1: but it still wasn't quite the Russell game that we're
9:00
Speaker 1: used to see him. He got hit sixteen times, sixteen times.
9:06
Speaker 1: Your quarterbacks getting hit sixteen times just gonna be a
9:09
Speaker 1: long day. And like I said earlier, I feel like
9:12
Speaker 1: He's not gonna say this, but I feel like he
9:14
Speaker 1: feels pressured to have to play perfect, so he's pressing
9:17
Speaker 1: in a bit. He's made a couple of decisions where
9:19
Speaker 1: I'm like, typically Russell doesn't do that. But he's on
9:22
Speaker 1: the sideline, he's watching this defense, he's watching the Bill's office,
9:25
Speaker 1: and he's like, all right, I don't think we can
9:26
Speaker 1: stop these guys. I'm gonna have to win this football game.
9:29
Speaker 1: So you can appreciate that mentality because you want a
9:32
Speaker 1: guy who wants to win the ball game, but you
9:34
Speaker 1: also have to realize he's gonna need some help and
9:36
Speaker 1: these guys need to get healthy and help this guy out.
9:39
Speaker 1: When you score thirty four points, you should win football games,
9:42
Speaker 1: Yes he should, and sack the other team's quarterback seven times.
9:45
Speaker 1: The one shout out, though for russ it ended up
9:47
Speaker 1: being incomplete pass. The pass to Tyler Lockett that might
9:52
Speaker 1: have been, honestly, in my opinion watching football game, that
9:55
Speaker 1: might have been one of the greatest plays that I've
9:56
Speaker 1: ever seen in my life. If that was the case.
10:00
Speaker 1: My buddy texted me, he goes, hey, bump, that was
10:02
Speaker 1: the greatest incompletion I've ever seen, and the crazy thing
10:06
Speaker 1: is too shout out Tyler Locket. So I don't know
10:08
Speaker 1: how russ is getting pressured. He eludes one rusher and
10:10
Speaker 1: he's getting ready to throw the football. When he releases
10:13
Speaker 1: the ball, Tyler Lockett is in the middle of the field.
10:18
Speaker 1: He's in the middlefield runs another forty yards. That unbelievable. Unbelievable, Yes, unbelievable.
10:24
Speaker 1: Russell still even in a loss. Russell does things that
10:27
Speaker 1: make you say wow. Another guy that makes you say wow.
10:30
Speaker 1: It seems like every single week is DK metcast seven receptions,
10:34
Speaker 1: one hundred eight yards, one touchdown, averaging fifteen point four
10:37
Speaker 1: yards per catch. Every week he does something to where
10:40
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, he's getting better. Like there's a there's
10:43
Speaker 1: a pass across the middle. He went up and snatched
10:47
Speaker 1: it out the air with his hands. Typically DK brings
10:49
Speaker 1: it in with his body. He's he can box guys out.
10:52
Speaker 1: But I saw that and it looks natural, and I'm like, man,
10:55
Speaker 1: every single week he does something to where I'm like,
10:58
Speaker 1: he's getting better. And then that play on the sideline,
11:00
Speaker 1: William stiff Arm to Davia's white that is a grown man,
11:06
Speaker 1: and he drove him to the ground like he was
11:08
Speaker 1: a little boy. I mean every time that's DK is
11:10
Speaker 1: good for at least one of those a game, and
11:12
Speaker 1: a couple of times this year it's happening. It's all
11:14
Speaker 1: pro Pro Bowl type guys. So you love to see
11:17
Speaker 1: the physicality from DK. The player you mentioned were to
11:19
Speaker 1: snatch it out of the air first of all, Russell
11:21
Speaker 1: through that. That was fastball. That was coming in one
11:23
Speaker 1: hundred miles an hour. It's good to see him evolving.
11:25
Speaker 1: And it's weird to say that that was a really
11:28
Speaker 1: really quiet one hundred and eight yards one touchdown performance
11:31
Speaker 1: from Metcalf, but good to see he's still balling out.
11:33
Speaker 1: And the next guy, all right, guy man Demo sway
11:38
Speaker 1: his post Do you see his postgame interview? My god,
11:41
Speaker 1: got the with the chaise and his whole vibe. I'm
11:45
Speaker 1: just feeling this vibe. David Waring four receptions, seventy one yards,
11:48
Speaker 1: one touchdown, and the fifty four yard touchdown that we'll
11:51
Speaker 1: talk about later. But demon just consistent. He's a silent killer.
11:56
Speaker 1: Eighty three. They're gonna get him. He's gonna contribute in
11:59
Speaker 1: the the pump return game. He's gonna make big plays.
12:02
Speaker 1: He just continues to be a nice pillar in this offense. Step.
12:07
Speaker 1: He's not gonna get the national love. People aren't gonna
12:10
Speaker 1: talk about David Moore, but you need a third receiver
12:13
Speaker 1: like him. And then he just at the Swag after
12:15
Speaker 1: the game. I mean, come on, how can you not
12:17
Speaker 1: like Demo? My guy? Demo is the man. And thing
12:19
Speaker 1: I love about him too is like we said a
12:21
Speaker 1: while ago, coming in this year, it was who's going
12:23
Speaker 1: to be the number three receiver? Who's gonna take That's
12:25
Speaker 1: gonna be Philip Door said, George that's been injured. It's
12:28
Speaker 1: gonna be Frace Wayne. He had all these guys in camp.
12:30
Speaker 1: Demo Swag said, nah, fam, that's me. He locked it
12:33
Speaker 1: down when he's getting targeted. Usually it has a chance
12:36
Speaker 1: to go to distance. I'll love to see Demo getting
12:38
Speaker 1: after it. And despite giving him forty four points, we
12:41
Speaker 1: got to show some love the defensive line and really
12:43
Speaker 1: just the defense in general when it comes to pressure.
12:47
Speaker 1: Season high seven sacks, ten quarterback hits. We mentioned earlier,
12:50
Speaker 1: Jay ree To enough sacks, Carlo Stunlap one sack, pretty
12:53
Speaker 1: tackle for loss. So the main Loan bright spot on defense.
12:56
Speaker 1: Who's great to see those guys finally get after the quarterback.
12:59
Speaker 1: Nice to see the D line call some havoc. Yes,
13:02
Speaker 1: they put up forty four points, but they did what
13:05
Speaker 1: they were supposed to do. They didn't run the ball
13:08
Speaker 1: a lot, they didn't have the bill, didn't have a
13:10
Speaker 1: lot of rushing attempts, but they had nineteen attempts only
13:14
Speaker 1: thirty four yards. They did score two touchdown. That's phil position, right,
13:16
Speaker 1: you're down there and goal line, you're gonna be able
13:18
Speaker 1: to get in the end zone. But they did what
13:21
Speaker 1: a D line is supposed to do, get after the quarterback,
13:23
Speaker 1: sack them, limit the runs. It's weird now because now
13:26
Speaker 1: we're talking about the back end, and that's what where
13:28
Speaker 1: we felt was the strength of this defense. But when
13:30
Speaker 1: you got y yeah, guys hurt, they're gonna be days
13:34
Speaker 1: like this. They're gonna be it's like this. Unfortunately, it
13:36
Speaker 1: was the most points ever given up under Pete Carroll.
13:38
Speaker 1: But uh yeah, you gotta find some positives somewhere. Yeah,
13:41
Speaker 1: that's a that's one of the positives. And let me
13:43
Speaker 1: tell you something, Like we said, Roy's good coming after losses.
13:46
Speaker 1: So we'll get that corrected. And I hope to never
13:49
Speaker 1: see another double digit performance over forty on the scoreboard
13:53
Speaker 1: for the seat defense the rest of the way. All right,
13:56
Speaker 1: let's get to the receiver round up. Of course, we
14:00
Speaker 1: talked about DK metcalf seven catches, one hundred and eight yards,
14:03
Speaker 1: one touchdown on nine targets. Demos Swag four catches seventy
14:07
Speaker 1: one yards on six targets. Homer have three catches. Jacob Hollister, Yes, sir,
14:12
Speaker 1: love Man, come on, Jacob, they bring it. They bring it.
14:16
Speaker 1: All these other tight ends they draft a guy. House
14:19
Speaker 1: was like, look, I was the number three receiver on
14:21
Speaker 1: this team last year. Y'all must have forgot five catches
14:24
Speaker 1: sixty yards on seven targets. Tyer Lockett had a quiet day.
14:28
Speaker 1: Four catches forty yards on seven targets. Will Disley had
14:30
Speaker 1: one for twenty six, a big play, wide open, going
14:33
Speaker 1: across the mid of the field. Olsen got back into
14:35
Speaker 1: the mix two catches thirty yards, DJ two for eight,
14:39
Speaker 1: Freddie no catches on two targets. You look at this
14:43
Speaker 1: stat the stat sheet comes to receivers and you're optimistic. Yes.
14:48
Speaker 1: The one thing that's consistent about this team is that offensively,
14:52
Speaker 1: guys are gonna eat, specifically when it comes to throwing
14:55
Speaker 1: a rock Oh, no question about it. We know we're
14:57
Speaker 1: gonna get from Lockett in Medcalf. One of them is
14:58
Speaker 1: going off every single week. But this is the most
15:01
Speaker 1: promising thing. Another big positive takeaway from this is Jacob Poliser.
15:05
Speaker 1: You mentioned it. Yeah, the tight ends need to be
15:07
Speaker 1: more of a focal point in this offense between greg Olson,
15:10
Speaker 1: between Hollister, between Disley Kobe Parkinson, if he's ever active,
15:14
Speaker 1: they need to be more folk Policus offense. And it
15:16
Speaker 1: was great to see Hollister kind of getting loose and
15:18
Speaker 1: remind us of what he did for us last season.
15:20
Speaker 1: If teams are going to blitz like we're seeing and
15:23
Speaker 1: that's the formula now, I think you're gonna see teams
15:26
Speaker 1: try to get after Russell Wilson. Those tight ends are
15:29
Speaker 1: gonna be crucial on those hot routes. Pie says that
15:31
Speaker 1: I run hot rots. I don't care if Pete hot route,
15:35
Speaker 1: release and look for the ball right now. These tight
15:37
Speaker 1: ends are gonna play a big roll on them all.
15:39
Speaker 1: Right now, let's break down the play. Let's go to
15:41
Speaker 1: the coach's corner. Russell Wilson finds David Moore for fifty
15:45
Speaker 1: five yard touchdown. Russ steps up almost stepped right into
15:49
Speaker 1: the blitz. Now he's gonna roll back right side, He's
15:51
Speaker 1: gonna look at it. He's gonna let a fly as
15:53
Speaker 1: deep as he can't. He's got a man touchdown Seahawks.
15:57
Speaker 1: David Moore had gotten way by the defense, and russ
16:01
Speaker 1: just rears up and throws it deep, trailing now forty
16:05
Speaker 1: one twenty six. The Seahawks never out of it until
16:09
Speaker 1: there's all Zeros. Russell does a great job of not
16:14
Speaker 1: getting sacked. He does what great quarterbacks do You feel pressure,
16:17
Speaker 1: you step up inside the pocket, a guy spins off
16:21
Speaker 1: of his right guard, He gets outside, extends to play
16:24
Speaker 1: with his feet, and somehow David Moore's ten yards behind
16:27
Speaker 1: his defense. I don't know what that corner was doing
16:29
Speaker 1: over there, but this is what Demo does. Does he
16:31
Speaker 1: like hit a button that makes him going visible for
16:33
Speaker 1: like three seconds and he gets behind the defense somehow,
16:36
Speaker 1: some way, Demo finds his way behind the defense. Yeah,
16:39
Speaker 1: it looked like, I don't know, they're in a too
16:41
Speaker 1: high look in the safety. There is a looks like
16:43
Speaker 1: there's a crossing round over the middle, kind of a
16:45
Speaker 1: deep post, and then Demo the corner kind of sits
16:47
Speaker 1: down and the safety goes inside and they completely lose
16:51
Speaker 1: track of him. To be fair, it's a long play
16:53
Speaker 1: to cover. Normal when you playing Russell Wilson, you gotta
16:55
Speaker 1: be you gotta cover for four or five seconds. Demo
16:58
Speaker 1: Swag gets wide open and he is I mean, at
17:00
Speaker 1: one point in this route there's doing within ten yards
17:02
Speaker 1: of him to Russell seasonim and he just flicks that
17:05
Speaker 1: thing like at least what sixty yards in the air
17:08
Speaker 1: to Demo in the back of the end zone. Of course, Demo,
17:09
Speaker 1: we're just waiting for it. Could have Fair caught it, honestly, yea.
17:12
Speaker 1: But good to see him get production. Good to see
17:15
Speaker 1: him extend the game, because the crazy thing about this
17:17
Speaker 1: is after this score, the Seahawks were now within two scores.
17:21
Speaker 1: Then they get a stop on defense. They were still
17:23
Speaker 1: in the game with you know, seven and a half
17:24
Speaker 1: or eight minutes ago. Unfortunately ensuing possession me through an intersect,
17:28
Speaker 1: get sacked twice. Interception. Game kind of ends there. But
17:31
Speaker 1: always good to see you guys keep fighting and playing
17:33
Speaker 1: for another down. Man, I feel like other teams would
17:37
Speaker 1: have laid down and just giving up. And yeah, that's
17:41
Speaker 1: what I can appreciate about this football team. Yes, it
17:43
Speaker 1: was ugly. I'm not making excuses. It's gonna be Oh
17:46
Speaker 1: you're a homer, Yeah I do. I work for the
17:48
Speaker 1: Sea those of my guys. Yeah, I'm going to support them.
17:51
Speaker 1: I'm going to find positive But I don't think a
17:53
Speaker 1: lot of teams find a way to keep it competitive
17:57
Speaker 1: as long as they did, especially turn the ball over
18:00
Speaker 1: four times. Yeah, right when Russell got hit and fumbled,
18:02
Speaker 1: and then a play later Josh Allen runs in the
18:04
Speaker 1: end zone to make a forty one twenty. A lot
18:06
Speaker 1: of people right there and say, hey, back it in,
18:08
Speaker 1: We're in Buffalo. We'll live to fight another day. Let's
18:10
Speaker 1: pull some guys out. So it's always good to see
18:12
Speaker 1: them continue to fight because you know, Russell Wilson in
18:15
Speaker 1: the rest of his offense, they never think that they're
18:16
Speaker 1: out of games. Fight to the very end. Unfortunately didn't
18:19
Speaker 1: go our way. But always have to see the most
18:21
Speaker 1: swag get in the end zone. Here's a question for you. Okay,
18:24
Speaker 1: this is the first time under Pete Currol, I saw
18:28
Speaker 1: this team play in the East Coast and look flat.
18:31
Speaker 1: Did did the time finally play a factor when it
18:36
Speaker 1: comes to the Seahouse because they look sluggish. Something didn't
18:38
Speaker 1: feel right, the energy, the efficiency, it just didn't feel right.
18:43
Speaker 1: It's weird, man, because we come in. We'd won ten
18:45
Speaker 1: straight in a row, ten straight, ten end games, eighteen
18:48
Speaker 1: and six in the last you know, twenties four. So
18:50
Speaker 1: it's just like, I don't know, Bump, but you're right,
18:54
Speaker 1: you're right. The way it started right off the right
18:55
Speaker 1: from the kickoff, it was off very first play. Yeah, man,
18:59
Speaker 1: I don't want to say it was because of the
19:02
Speaker 1: ten am start, but I can't say it didn't have
19:04
Speaker 1: anything to do with it because it was weird. So
19:07
Speaker 1: maybe it wasn't the time, but they did come out flat.
19:08
Speaker 1: I mean, that's you can't lie. We saw what we saw.
19:11
Speaker 1: We got one more ten am start the rest of
19:13
Speaker 1: this way, so hopefully they can get that corrected next time.
19:16
Speaker 1: Bounce back. Now, usually Hawks are winning, we get in
19:20
Speaker 1: the greatest formation known to man, the Victy formation. But
19:24
Speaker 1: didn't happen this week. Clocked his right out on this
19:30
Speaker 1: a knee taken by Huntley. They're just gonna let the
19:33
Speaker 1: clock wind down, Peach not even gonna bother taking that
19:35
Speaker 1: last time out. We knew this was coming, right, We
19:41
Speaker 1: knew this was coming they're not healthy this defense because
19:44
Speaker 1: of a lot of points. I just think I just
19:46
Speaker 1: didn't think it was coming against the Bills. Threw me all.
19:49
Speaker 1: I mean, I think that they would potentially lose another
19:51
Speaker 1: game the rest of the season. Yeah, I thought that
19:53
Speaker 1: was possibility. I honestly, I did not think it was
19:55
Speaker 1: happening this week. I really didn't. I thought, and I
19:57
Speaker 1: still think the Seahawks are a better football team. But
19:59
Speaker 1: josh Alan and the rest of the Bills they're ready
20:01
Speaker 1: to go. They're ready to go. They punched us in
20:03
Speaker 1: the mouth and we took us a little while to respond,
20:05
Speaker 1: and they just played better. I mean, there's gonna be
20:08
Speaker 1: days like this. It's National Football League. There's any days
20:10
Speaker 1: when things don't go well and you turn the ball
20:13
Speaker 1: before times, you're not gonna win the football game just
20:15
Speaker 1: playing simple. And that's a fact, because when the Hawks
20:18
Speaker 1: lose the turnover battle, they don't win the football game.
20:20
Speaker 1: That's what the defense does. The defense causes turnovers. The
20:23
Speaker 1: offense typically takes care of the ball. And it feels
20:26
Speaker 1: like when Russell turns the ball over, he's like, look,
20:28
Speaker 1: I'm gonna thought like two or three of these things
20:29
Speaker 1: out there, all right, if I'm gonna turn it over,
20:32
Speaker 1: I'm gonna turn it over. It's wild man. Yeah, the
20:35
Speaker 1: last two games that we've lost, obviously, to have that
20:37
Speaker 1: many interceptions and fumbles and stuff so uncharacteristic. But hey,
20:41
Speaker 1: don't can't care of the football. You lose that game battle,
20:44
Speaker 1: it's it's gonna be a long day. Especially it's one
20:47
Speaker 1: thing you turn the ball be four times. With the
20:48
Speaker 1: fact that we didn't even create any defensively, it's really
20:50
Speaker 1: hard to win that way. Yep. But again, on the
20:53
Speaker 1: bright side, they had seven sex. We've been begging, we've
20:55
Speaker 1: been praying that this defensive line gets after the quarterback,
20:58
Speaker 1: and that's exactly what they did. I liked what Dunlap
21:01
Speaker 1: look look. I liked how he looked. He looked like
21:04
Speaker 1: a guy who still got some gas in the tank.
21:06
Speaker 1: It was kind of we're seeing him in that forty three.
21:10
Speaker 1: I'm like, are you a fullback? Are you like? What
21:12
Speaker 1: position are you playing? But he made it look good.
21:15
Speaker 1: I got used to it as a game win along. Yeah,
21:17
Speaker 1: for sure, I'll get used to whatever number if you're
21:19
Speaker 1: out there getting sacks and putting pressure on the quarterback. Obviously,
21:21
Speaker 1: all the nineties numbers were taken up. But no, it's
21:24
Speaker 1: great to see him come in here, and especially with
21:25
Speaker 1: all the noise in the offseason about whether Clowning's didn't
21:28
Speaker 1: come back and whether the Seahawks and John Snider in
21:30
Speaker 1: the front office made the right decision. I think this
21:32
Speaker 1: is a great move bringing him in. For him to
21:34
Speaker 1: come out of the gate like that, it's gonna be great.
21:36
Speaker 1: And I expect him moving Ford. He kind of set
21:39
Speaker 1: the bar eye right. I expect him to play well
21:42
Speaker 1: every week, and I think when Mayo comes back, keep
21:44
Speaker 1: all those guys fresh. We can see some really good
21:46
Speaker 1: things on that D line. Hey, the great thing about
21:49
Speaker 1: the NFL is as soon as Monday hits let's say Tuesday,
21:53
Speaker 1: none of that matters anymore. It's on to the next
21:56
Speaker 1: They're going to play the Rams there in Los Angeles,
21:58
Speaker 1: I believe, yes, sir, the road going to LA going
22:02
Speaker 1: back to Cali. Get it done. You you went against
22:04
Speaker 1: the Rams, that's a big win. The Rams always play
22:07
Speaker 1: the Seahawks tough. You know, they got some talent over there,
22:09
Speaker 1: but I think they can get it done. It's town
22:11
Speaker 1: to bounce Backhawks absolutely need too. We talked about this
22:13
Speaker 1: every week. You have to own the NFC West. You
22:15
Speaker 1: gotta beat the Rams. The good thing about the pressure
22:18
Speaker 1: we saw from the Seahawks is that's the key to
22:20
Speaker 1: being Jared Goff will talk a lot about that on
22:22
Speaker 1: our preview podcast, Getting You Ready for the Rams. Just
