Speaker 1: You're listening to Hawk Talk with former Seahawks wide receiver
0:04
Speaker 1: Michael Bumpus, powered by Seahawks dot Com.
0:07
Speaker 2: Now here's your host, Nasa Chobee. Welcome into another edition
0:12
Speaker 2: of Hawk Talk.
0:13
Speaker 1: The Seahawks return home to Luminfield to take on the
0:16
Speaker 1: Minnesota Vikings big game this Sunday, And there's some big
0:19
Speaker 1: roster moves this week, so I'll jump right into that bump.
0:21
Speaker 1: The Seahawks resigned Pro Bowl safety Quandre Diggs all right,
0:25
Speaker 1: Quandray back to the practice squad in Seattle. Obviously, he
0:28
Speaker 1: was here from twenty nineteen twenty twenty three. Lots of
0:29
Speaker 1: Pro Bowls, lots of interceptions, huge fan favorite there. Seahawks
0:33
Speaker 1: also signed veteran running back Cam Akers to the fifty
0:36
Speaker 1: three man roster. You remember that name for this time
0:38
Speaker 1: with the Rams and most recently with the Vikings. Actually then,
0:41
Speaker 1: the Seahawks also promoted cornerback Shack Griffin and linebacker Patrick
0:44
Speaker 1: O'Connell from the practice squad to the fifty three man roster.
0:48
Speaker 1: The Seahawks wave cornerback Deeryon Kendrick. Also put Chaser rat
0:52
Speaker 1: On Ir with an ankle injury. Miles Gaskin Jimmy Holliday
0:56
Speaker 1: signed to the practice squad, So honestly, bump you know
0:59
Speaker 1: with Andre. Love him back here, been favorite, Everyone in
1:03
Speaker 1: this building loves him. Obviously helps with the depth because
1:05
Speaker 1: the other thing that happened is Riley Mills was designated
1:08
Speaker 1: to return to practice, but Julian Love did not come
1:12
Speaker 1: off i R this week, so we will not see
1:13
Speaker 1: him this week. So Qandre definitely coming in to help
1:16
Speaker 1: with some depth at safety.
1:17
Speaker 3: Yeah, you need that. He's a veteran, a guy who's
1:19
Speaker 3: been there before. Different defense, but he's been around a
1:21
Speaker 3: few times. He can pick up a defense. And I
1:24
Speaker 3: just spoke to who he spoke to, Mafe. He just
1:26
Speaker 3: talked about it. As soon as he walked through the door.
1:28
Speaker 3: It was like he never left. And you expect nothing less,
1:31
Speaker 3: but you need depth moves. You got a Patre O'Connor
1:32
Speaker 3: who played good last week. He gets a nod as well,
1:35
Speaker 3: Shack obviously getting promoted. It's you know you expected these
1:39
Speaker 3: type of moves, especially this time of year.
1:40
Speaker 2: Yeah, no question.
1:41
Speaker 1: Anyway, shout out to Nino Quandre Diggs back uniform. Love
1:45
Speaker 1: to see it, but let's football attention. Chew these Minnesota
1:48
Speaker 1: Vikings what's on tap?
1:50
Speaker 2: What's on tap?
1:52
Speaker 1: The Vikings four in seven, last place in that NFC
1:55
Speaker 1: north Man. Yeah, whenever the Bears in week one you
1:59
Speaker 1: went to, they'd be in this situation that both teams
2:01
Speaker 1: are in now. Lost to the Falcons, went over the Bengals,
2:05
Speaker 1: with loss to the Steelers, went over the Browns. Losses
2:07
Speaker 1: to the Eagles, Chargers, Ravens, Bears, Packers. They did beat
2:11
Speaker 1: the Lions, so we got a couple of good quality wins.
2:14
Speaker 1: But they're four and seven and they're struggling currently on
2:16
Speaker 1: a three game losing streak.
2:17
Speaker 2: Lost five of their last six.
2:19
Speaker 1: JJ McCarthy struggles for most of the season, also struggled
2:23
Speaker 1: to run the ball. It's been a tough go for
2:24
Speaker 1: them lately, and this past Sunday Bump was a beat
2:26
Speaker 1: down at Lambeau.
2:27
Speaker 2: Yes, it was man.
2:28
Speaker 3: The offensive numbers they didn't jump off the page for
2:30
Speaker 3: either team, but the Packers were able to dominate time
2:33
Speaker 3: of possession thirty seven minutes of twenty two because they
2:35
Speaker 3: were able to run the ball. Most of that was
2:38
Speaker 3: because Emmanuel Wilson, who broke into the league as an
2:41
Speaker 3: undrafted free agent from Division two four Valley State stand
2:44
Speaker 3: up out. He stepped up four injured Josh Jacobs and
2:47
Speaker 3: had a really good day. He rushed for a career
2:49
Speaker 3: high one O seven on twenty eight carries and two touchdowns.
2:52
Speaker 3: And the Packers weren't ripping off exposive plays. The longest
2:54
Speaker 3: run was just thirteen yards. But they were consistent and
2:57
Speaker 3: they moved the ball. The Packers ran the ball forty
2:59
Speaker 3: two times and through it just twenty two.
3:01
Speaker 2: Times in this NFL? Is Jordan Love over there? Still
3:04
Speaker 2: he is?
3:05
Speaker 1: He?
3:05
Speaker 2: Still there? Remember the football? Okay? All right? The crazy
3:09
Speaker 2: thing there is I think coach even talked about. He said,
3:10
Speaker 2: I don't know. Man just kept running the rock. I've
3:12
Speaker 2: been one of those games in a while. I said.
3:13
Speaker 2: The defense is playing really well. So yes, rode the
3:16
Speaker 2: hot hand yep ride him all right.
3:18
Speaker 3: The Vikings weren't able to do much of anything on
3:20
Speaker 3: offense and had a net total of just four yards
3:23
Speaker 3: in the second half. That is frustrating. I don't think
3:25
Speaker 3: I've ever been a part of that. I don't want
3:26
Speaker 3: to be a part of that. I don't want to
3:27
Speaker 3: be a part of that. Wurson's nineteen ninety one. The
3:31
Speaker 3: Packers won the football game twenty three to six, and
3:34
Speaker 3: despite the lack of production, the game was competitive at
3:36
Speaker 3: halftime with the Packers up just ten to six. The
3:38
Speaker 3: Vikings got to stop on in the first possession, but
3:40
Speaker 3: turn the ball over on the ensuing punt when the
3:43
Speaker 3: football hit a Vikings player who was blocking and the
3:45
Speaker 3: Packers were covered inside the five yard line.
3:48
Speaker 2: Wilson scored two plays later.
3:50
Speaker 3: JJ McCarthy on the day twelve to nineteen eighty seven yards,
3:53
Speaker 3: zero touchdowns, two interceptions, Jordan Mason and Aaron Jones can
3:56
Speaker 3: buy for eighty three rushing yards and Justin Jefferson was
3:58
Speaker 3: held to forty eight yards receptions.
4:00
Speaker 2: That man has to be frustrated over there.
4:03
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's a clip on social media of him walking
4:05
Speaker 1: off the field because in Green Bay there's one little
4:07
Speaker 1: tunnel in the corner of the end zone. It's barely
4:09
Speaker 1: me and you could barely walk through it. At the
4:10
Speaker 1: same time walk through there and yeah, well the Packers
4:13
Speaker 1: have their own, but the visiting team has to come
4:15
Speaker 1: through and it's small than that captain over there. And anyway,
4:16
Speaker 1: just walking in watching him walk off the field just
4:19
Speaker 1: looks sad man frustrated, poor guy, and uh, I mean
4:22
Speaker 1: he's okay. Financially, he's stuff but no, but no, it
4:26
Speaker 1: shortly when we throw for eighty seven yards in National
4:28
Speaker 1: Football League, that's tough. They're not playing good football right now,
4:31
Speaker 1: and we'll jump leads us into the head to head
4:33
Speaker 1: of the numbers, kind of bear that out. Seahawks offensively
4:36
Speaker 1: have really continued to climb the ranks all season. They
4:39
Speaker 1: are seventh in the NFL in total offense in terms
4:41
Speaker 1: of yards, sixteenth, running the rock fourth, and pass offense
4:44
Speaker 1: third in points per game, So they're doing their thing there.
4:47
Speaker 1: Biking is a little bit different story, twenty eighth in
4:49
Speaker 1: total offense, twenty fourth in rush offense twenty eight passing
4:53
Speaker 1: that thing, twenty fifth in points per game, averaging twenty.
4:55
Speaker 1: So Seahawks obviously have the decided advantage is because the
4:59
Speaker 1: Bikings just really struggle to score points this year.
5:02
Speaker 3: Defensively, the Hawks are seventh overall, fourth against the run,
5:05
Speaker 3: fourteenth against the pass. The Vikings eleventh overall, twenty fourth
5:08
Speaker 3: against the run, seventh against the pass, eighteenth. When it
5:11
Speaker 3: comes to allowing points, are allowing twenty three, the Hawks
5:14
Speaker 3: allowing nineteen per game.
5:15
Speaker 2: Hawks have nine interceptions, the Vikings have three. Yeah in
5:20
Speaker 2: vanash Seahawks. I think should be should.
5:22
Speaker 3: Be that that's just paper though, you know this is
5:25
Speaker 3: just the matchup on paper. You still got to play
5:27
Speaker 3: this game. But I feel all right about it.
5:28
Speaker 1: No absolute, especially Seahawks coming back home against the struggling
5:31
Speaker 1: Vikings team.
5:31
Speaker 2: What is it? Palm Moyo always says, you'd rather play
5:33
Speaker 2: a team come off of lost than a win.
5:35
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're struggling right now, so we'll see how that
5:37
Speaker 1: happens when they get together on Sunday.
5:39
Speaker 2: Before we get to that, let's know the history, No,
5:43
Speaker 2: your history.
5:45
Speaker 1: Seahawks lead the all time series thirteen to seven, twelve
5:47
Speaker 1: in seven the regular season one and now in the postseason.
5:50
Speaker 1: That was the Blair Walsh game. After winning seven games
5:52
Speaker 1: in a row, the Seahawks have lost actually two in
5:54
Speaker 1: this series against the Vikings, most recently Tough one last
5:58
Speaker 1: December looked a lot different. As you know, Sam Donald's
6:01
Speaker 1: quarterback of the Vikings then came into Lumingfield, ruined our
6:03
Speaker 1: playoffs hopes, winning twenty seven twenty four, And it really
6:07
Speaker 1: came down to the end of that ball game. Seahawks
6:09
Speaker 1: going this long drive, Gino finds aj Barner, they go
6:12
Speaker 1: up twenty four to twenty With four to twenty one,
6:14
Speaker 1: next possession of the Vikings are driving back. Buyer Murphy,
6:17
Speaker 1: who didn't have a lot of sacked, was crazy how
6:19
Speaker 1: far his game is coming. But he got a sack
6:22
Speaker 1: on Sam Donald would have set up third and eighteen.
6:24
Speaker 1: Unfortunately face Masks sent him first down. Next play, Justin
6:27
Speaker 1: Jefferson over the top, forty ard touchdown. Seahawks tried to
6:31
Speaker 1: come back, Myers missed a long field goal, they get
6:33
Speaker 1: a stop and then the last possession, Gino Smith was
6:35
Speaker 1: intercepted and that was all she wrote.
6:37
Speaker 2: It was pretty tough, man.
6:39
Speaker 1: It was tough because that really sent the Seahawks into
6:41
Speaker 1: a position where they need to lean on other people.
6:43
Speaker 1: We saw Sam Donald do that, and now he's on
6:45
Speaker 1: our team. I played for the good guys.
6:46
Speaker 3: Yeah, I know, way to flip it on him. All right,
6:49
Speaker 3: Now this is your house. You came into our house
6:52
Speaker 3: and it made a sandwich. But now you're the chef
6:54
Speaker 3: in the house. So we love the promotion.
6:56
Speaker 1: Love the promotion will shift our gears to what's going
6:58
Speaker 1: on in the division.
6:59
Speaker 2: What's the word? And the Seahawks or the NFC West
7:06
Speaker 2: champs again, what's the word in the West on Hawk.
7:10
Speaker 3: Talk, everybody's chasing the Los Angeles Rams. In the NFC West,
7:15
Speaker 3: you got the Cardinals at the bottom at three and eight,
7:17
Speaker 3: then the Niners seven to four, of the Hawks eight
7:19
Speaker 3: and three, and like I said, the Rams nine and two. Uh,
7:21
Speaker 3: they're on top, man. They control their own destiny for
7:23
Speaker 3: the number one seed. The remaining schedule for the Rams,
7:26
Speaker 3: the Panthers, the Cardinals, the Lions of the Seahawks and Falcons,
7:29
Speaker 3: and then the Cardinals one more game. The Seahawks are
7:32
Speaker 3: a game behind the Rams in need a winning Week
7:35
Speaker 3: sixteen for any real chance at the division title. The
7:37
Speaker 3: Hawks remaining schedule, you got the Vikings, the Falcons of Colts,
7:40
Speaker 3: the Rams, the Panthers, and the Niners.
7:42
Speaker 2: Don't sleep on the Panthers.
7:43
Speaker 3: I know they're coming off a bad loss to the Niners,
7:45
Speaker 3: but we've seen them play some good football. But the
7:47
Speaker 3: Lions probably have the best shot at beating the Rams.
7:49
Speaker 3: Before the Hawks take on the Rams on twelve eighteen.
7:53
Speaker 3: Will be interesting to see how there's some folds.
7:56
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I'm just looking at the schedule and
7:57
Speaker 1: you're looking at Dan the Rams. Actually I would say
8:00
Speaker 1: cake schedule, but the weight that they're playing right now.
8:02
Speaker 1: You look at that and you go, Okay, the only
8:04
Speaker 1: loss I'm potentially seeing is the Lions, and that's leading
8:07
Speaker 1: right into the Seahawks game with them. So, like you said,
8:09
Speaker 1: it'll be interesting to see what happens there. Hopefully the
8:11
Speaker 1: Lions can do Sehawks a solid or maybe the Cardinals.
8:13
Speaker 2: Come out of nowhere. Maybe you know what, we're sel
8:15
Speaker 2: division team? What's upset these guys? I don't know.
8:17
Speaker 1: I don't necessarily see that, but we'll see and then
8:20
Speaker 1: you know.
8:20
Speaker 2: But Bump, it was a It was ugly on Sunday night.
8:23
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, Bucks and Rams.
8:25
Speaker 3: I was watching that game for a bit and or bit.
8:29
Speaker 3: Once A got out of hand, I'm like, I'll recap this,
8:31
Speaker 3: so I'll go work on some other stuff. But the
8:33
Speaker 3: Rams they left thirty one at seven and a half
8:35
Speaker 3: time and coast it to a thirty four to seven victory.
8:38
Speaker 2: Matthew Stafford still looks like an MVP.
8:40
Speaker 3: Was twenty five to thirty five for two seventy three
8:42
Speaker 3: and three touchdowns, zero interceptions. He currently has three hundred
8:46
Speaker 3: and eight pass attempts without an interception. Man Is Bawling
8:49
Speaker 3: Pooka had seven for ninety seven. Devonte had five for
8:52
Speaker 3: sixty two and two touchdowns. Kolbe Parkerson at four for
8:54
Speaker 3: forty one and one touchdown. Baker Mayfield went nine of
8:57
Speaker 3: nineteen for forty one yards at touchdown Twitter set is,
9:00
Speaker 3: including a picked six. He was banged up in that game,
9:02
Speaker 3: but it looks like he's gonna be okay. It was
9:04
Speaker 3: an AC joint deal. He should be good. Teddy Bridgewater
9:07
Speaker 3: came in for him. He was eight to fifteen for
9:09
Speaker 3: sixty two, no touchdowns, and Jared Vers and Kobe Turner
9:11
Speaker 3: had two sacks apiece and the Rams defense allowed just
9:14
Speaker 3: one hundred and ninety three yards. The Rams traveled to
9:17
Speaker 3: Cali to take on Well, they stay in Calli and
9:20
Speaker 3: they take.
9:20
Speaker 2: On the Panthers. Yeah it we'll see.
9:23
Speaker 3: Oh, they trived to Carolina. As far as a role game,
9:25
Speaker 3: they're trying to Carolina to take on the Panthers.
9:27
Speaker 1: Yeah, it'll but Panthers are better than teams thought. I
9:32
Speaker 1: think beginning of this year we're about to talk about the
9:33
Speaker 1: Panthers now because they went down to Santa Clara to
9:36
Speaker 1: play the forty nine.
9:37
Speaker 2: Ers in that game was ugly. The turnover fest ugly.
9:40
Speaker 1: Both q's come buy for five interceptions forty nine ers.
9:42
Speaker 1: Though they were lying on Christian McCaffrey, who's a dog,
9:44
Speaker 1: they get to win twenty to nine. It was the
9:47
Speaker 1: first game against his old team. One hundred and forty
9:49
Speaker 1: two scrimmag yards and one touchdown for McCaffrey and brock
9:52
Speaker 1: perdy Man Yikes twenty three to thirty two, one ninety three,
9:54
Speaker 1: one touchdown in three interceptions, and I felt they were
9:57
Speaker 1: right off the bats, so it felt even worse Q
10:00
Speaker 1: fifty eight and a half. Then you got Bryce Young
10:02
Speaker 1: was not great either, eighteen to twenty nine, one sixty nine,
10:05
Speaker 1: one touchdown, two interceptions, QB rating of sixty, and it
10:10
Speaker 1: wasn't The game was in control for the Niners pretty
10:12
Speaker 1: much the whole way. But anyway, to your point, the
10:14
Speaker 1: Panthers are there, they're in contention. They're not going to
10:16
Speaker 1: be a team that you can roll over. But just
10:18
Speaker 1: looking at the way the Rams were playing, something's got
10:20
Speaker 1: to happen to get them off where they're at right
10:22
Speaker 1: now because they're playing some good ball.
10:24
Speaker 2: So again, looking.
10:25
Speaker 1: Forward to that rematch in week eighteen or sixteen against
10:28
Speaker 1: the Rams on Thursday Night football. Both football attention back
10:30
Speaker 1: to those Minnesota Vikings.
10:32
Speaker 2: Man out, hey, who you got? Who you got? You
10:35
Speaker 2: know what time it is? Man up? Man up, brother,
10:37
Speaker 2: man up man up on Hawk Talk. Where do you
10:41
Speaker 2: want to start? Bummy? I started the quarterbacks? Yeah, might
10:43
Speaker 2: as well, might as well.
10:44
Speaker 1: It's a little little hairy over there. Obviously, the Vikings
10:48
Speaker 1: last couple of years, a lot of changeover right. You
10:50
Speaker 1: have Kirk Cousins, who's the main save for them for
10:52
Speaker 1: six years, two playoff appearances for them. Then they go
10:55
Speaker 1: out tenth overall pick. They get JJ McCarthy out of Michigan.
10:59
Speaker 1: It's all about him. Obviously, Cousins moves on to Atlanta. Unfortunately,
11:03
Speaker 1: right off top, what happens to JJ McCarthy, who was
11:05
Speaker 1: obviously a stud in college? You all remember that because
11:08
Speaker 1: they beat the Huskies win a national championship. He won
11:10
Speaker 1: a ton of games, twenty seven to one record at
11:12
Speaker 1: a starter. That leads him to get drafted. He gets
11:14
Speaker 1: to the Vikings, gets hurt right off top, gone for
11:17
Speaker 1: the year. So what happens entering a guy named Sam
11:20
Speaker 1: Darnold had a pretty good season. I think we know
11:22
Speaker 1: how that story end. Obviously, is Donald Owt here in Seattle.
11:25
Speaker 1: Vikings decided to make a choice, and they rolled the
11:27
Speaker 1: dice and.
11:28
Speaker 2: Went with JJ McCarthy.
11:29
Speaker 1: And you can't really blame him for a first round
11:31
Speaker 1: pick thinking that that's going to be the way to go.
11:33
Speaker 1: But I mean, I won't say it. I think everyone
11:36
Speaker 1: kind of knows there. But anyway, McCarthy's just had a
11:38
Speaker 1: rough start.
11:38
Speaker 2: Man.
11:38
Speaker 1: I think he was a great player in college, but
11:40
Speaker 1: he's only played in six games tat with three different injuries.
11:42
Speaker 1: My ankle sprain in Week two caused him as five games.
11:46
Speaker 1: Then it came back stupter to Bruce Hand. Now he's
11:48
Speaker 1: a concussion protocol. We're not even sure if he's gonna
11:50
Speaker 1: be able to play on Sunday. And if he can't play,
11:52
Speaker 1: Max Brosmer is going to get the start. When McCarthy
11:56
Speaker 1: was out there, it'd been pretty tough. Like I said,
11:58
Speaker 1: he is lasted most statistical categories for quarterbacks QBR twenty four,
12:03
Speaker 1: completed percentage, fifty four, touchdown interception ratio zero queen six.
12:08
Speaker 1: McCarthy is one of the worst starts of the NFL
12:09
Speaker 1: quarterback in the past decade. Dang only throwing for two
12:12
Speaker 1: hundred yards once ten interceptions.
12:16
Speaker 3: It's not good it's not great. It's like, but hey,
12:19
Speaker 3: but don't give up on them. Man, Let that young
12:20
Speaker 3: man develop, right, give him an hundred shot. I'm tired
12:23
Speaker 3: of these young guys getting kicked to the curve. So quickly,
12:25
Speaker 3: Sam will tell you all about that. You got the
12:28
Speaker 3: guy we're going to see, Max Broseburn. He played at
12:31
Speaker 3: the University of Minnesota after transfer from the University of
12:34
Speaker 3: New Hampshire.
12:35
Speaker 2: I like saying that. I was gonna say, it's that
12:37
Speaker 2: New Hampshire.
12:37
Speaker 3: I think I saw like a cartoon or something like
12:40
Speaker 3: that in New Hampshire.
12:42
Speaker 2: So that's a that's how I say it, all right.
12:44
Speaker 3: He had a solid preseason, going thirty five to fifty
12:47
Speaker 3: eight for three hundred sixty four yards and two touchdown
12:49
Speaker 3: in interception in three games. The Vikings could have added
12:52
Speaker 3: a quarterback, a veteran quarterback at the deadline, but uh
12:56
Speaker 3: they didn't.
12:57
Speaker 2: They didn't. They said, uh, we got this good.
13:00
Speaker 1: So in quarterback room, you know, Carson was the veteran there,
13:03
Speaker 1: but they said not to sign anybody.
13:04
Speaker 2: Yeah we're good, so gotta do with Max. Good old Max.
13:08
Speaker 1: I mean Kevin O'Connell was obviously, he's kind of known
13:09
Speaker 1: as a QB whisper. And you know a lot of
13:12
Speaker 1: people attributed what happened with Sam last year to him.
13:15
Speaker 1: I think everyone can see now this is not any
13:16
Speaker 1: taking any disrespect to Kevin O'Connell.
13:18
Speaker 2: Think he's an amazing coach. But the guy Sam.
13:20
Speaker 1: Darnold is a dog now and I think he's been
13:22
Speaker 1: that and last year all he's doneapproved that last year
13:25
Speaker 1: was not a fluke will jump into him right now.
13:27
Speaker 1: Solid performance last week, a huge, bounced back game against
13:29
Speaker 1: the Titans, sixteen to twenty six, two forty four, two touchdowns,
13:32
Speaker 1: QB rating of one to eighteen point one. Donald now
13:35
Speaker 1: has twenty games with a one hundred plus passer rating
13:37
Speaker 1: since twenty twenty four, that is the most in the NFL,
13:39
Speaker 1: and again took care of the football bat was number one,
13:42
Speaker 1: and he's among the league's best.
13:43
Speaker 2: We talk about this every week.
13:45
Speaker 1: Six in passing yards, one in yards per past ten,
13:48
Speaker 1: one in yards per completion fifth and passer rating sixth
13:51
Speaker 1: in the QBR, fourth and completion percentage. But but here's
13:54
Speaker 1: an interesting one that I saw today. Darnald this, according
13:57
Speaker 1: to the Next Gen SATs, deadly in the first quarter,
14:00
Speaker 1: no sacks, forty five or sixty for six hundred and
14:03
Speaker 1: eight yards, six touchdowns and two interceptions. Those six hundred
14:06
Speaker 1: and eight yards are the sixth most despite throwing.
14:08
Speaker 2: The third least in the NFL. So he's just been
14:11
Speaker 2: really efficient.
14:12
Speaker 1: That Seahawks was getting ahead on teams and it's making
14:14
Speaker 1: it hard to come back. But Sam is in another
14:16
Speaker 1: world right now.
14:17
Speaker 3: He's efficient. He's efficient. These numbers are going to remain
14:19
Speaker 3: all year. I guarantee that. Let's talk about their running
14:22
Speaker 3: back Aaron Jones Senior and Jordan Mason. Aaron Johnson's his
14:27
Speaker 3: ninth year in the league. That's crazy. The former fifth
14:29
Speaker 3: round pick really made a name for himself. He spent
14:32
Speaker 3: seven years with the Green Bay Packers. He made the
14:34
Speaker 3: Pro Bowl once at three one thousand yard seasons and
14:36
Speaker 3: once led the NFL in rushing touchdowns. In twenty twenty four,
14:40
Speaker 3: his first season with Minnesota, he rushed for eleven hundred
14:42
Speaker 3: and thirty eight yards five touchdowns. He also had fifty
14:45
Speaker 3: one receptions in four to eight yards and two touchdowns.
14:48
Speaker 3: He was also healthy for seventy games, and he's thirteen
14:50
Speaker 3: yards in Skimmers reach a ten thousand yard career mark
14:53
Speaker 3: year two in Minnesota.
14:54
Speaker 2: It's been kind of shaky.
14:55
Speaker 3: He missed four games with a Hampshire injury, also has
14:58
Speaker 3: a dinged up shoulder. In the games he has played,
15:00
Speaker 3: he hasn't really put up big numbers. Doesn't have a
15:03
Speaker 3: game of more than seventy eight yards and only one
15:05
Speaker 3: game of more than ten carries. He only has one
15:07
Speaker 3: touchdown for the season. That's interesting for the year sixty
15:11
Speaker 3: one carries two ninety seven one touchdown, sixteen receptions for
15:13
Speaker 3: one to twenty eight and one touchdown.
15:16
Speaker 2: That they have to try to get the ring game going.
15:18
Speaker 3: Yeah, especially with the young quarterback back there, so I
15:19
Speaker 3: would assume that he's going to get more opportunities to
15:21
Speaker 3: run a rock.
15:22
Speaker 2: No question about it.
15:23
Speaker 1: And part of that lack of production maybe you can
15:26
Speaker 1: attribute to Jordan Mason a little bit of short workload.
15:29
Speaker 1: Mason spent his first three years with forty nine Ers,
15:32
Speaker 1: jumped to the Vikings this offseason. Started four games when
15:35
Speaker 1: Jones was hurt, and he had one game more in
15:38
Speaker 1: over one hundred yards. Nothing that'll go crazy off the
15:41
Speaker 1: tape for you, but rush for five hundred and thirty
15:43
Speaker 1: one yards one hundred and sixteen carries, five touchdowns overall
15:46
Speaker 1: as a team They're not amazing, they're not absolutely terrible.
15:48
Speaker 1: They're twenty fourth in the NFL, averaging one hundred and
15:50
Speaker 1: two yards per game. But it's a tough scenario for them, bump,
15:53
Speaker 1: because who do you have one of the best rushing
15:55
Speaker 1: defense International Football League Seahawks ranked fourth along just ninety
15:59
Speaker 1: yards per game. You're gonna be thrown in either a
16:02
Speaker 1: rookie quarterback or another court two young quarterbacks, whether it's
16:06
Speaker 1: McCarthy or Brozman, who's playing into that environment against the
16:10
Speaker 1: number one rushing defensive tall task stass.
16:12
Speaker 2: For it is.
16:14
Speaker 3: But good luck. You gotta play. You gotta line up
16:16
Speaker 3: in and play your games, man.
16:17
Speaker 2: So we'll see. Let's talk about ken walker'sax.
16:19
Speaker 3: Sharbonna. Looks like ken has emerged as the lead back.
16:23
Speaker 3: I think he's always been a lead back because he's
16:25
Speaker 3: usually the first guy out there. There's a game or
16:26
Speaker 3: two where he wasn't, but it's the way that he's
16:28
Speaker 3: getting the football. Mike McDonald said he earned some more reps,
16:32
Speaker 3: and that's exactly what he's done. Ken Walker has had
16:34
Speaker 3: a run of at least ten yards in ten of
16:37
Speaker 3: the eleven games this season. He also has six games
16:39
Speaker 3: where he has a run of at least nineteen yards.
16:42
Speaker 3: It's clear he has a potential for the big play.
16:44
Speaker 3: He's just got to get in his groove and get
16:46
Speaker 3: things together. On the year, six hundred and seventy seven yards,
16:49
Speaker 3: four touchdowns, seventeen receptions for one to fifty seven.
16:51
Speaker 2: He's on pace four thousand yards. It's sneaky one thousand
16:54
Speaker 2: two just consistent push. McDonald said.
16:57
Speaker 1: He's earned it that way, so good to see there
16:58
Speaker 1: and alongside of him, obviously, Zach Sharbonney's all in pass protection.
17:02
Speaker 2: We know what he can do.
17:02
Speaker 1: He'll run you over really good in the red zone.
17:05
Speaker 1: Seven touchdowns there, a little less explosive in terms of
17:07
Speaker 1: the big play threat. He's had a run of thirty yards,
17:10
Speaker 1: but he has only four games with the rest of
17:12
Speaker 1: ten yards and more so, a little bit different there.
17:14
Speaker 1: Seahawks are sixteenth in the NFL and rushing and then,
17:16
Speaker 1: believe or not, they've been solely climbing up that with
17:18
Speaker 1: a couple of good games. So I'd love to see
17:20
Speaker 1: this running game really get after and really get established
17:23
Speaker 1: early on and get some big runs.
17:25
Speaker 2: Let's a little bit over to the Vikings. Got a
17:28
Speaker 2: couple good receivers.
17:29
Speaker 1: I guess so, and let's be let's be straight up
17:31
Speaker 1: no disrespect to the Tennessee Titans. The Seahawks are facing
17:34
Speaker 1: a much better receiving core. Justin Jefferson, Jordan Adison, Justin
17:38
Speaker 1: Jefferson one of the best in the National Football League. Literally,
17:40
Speaker 1: if you're talking about best receiving in the league, bump
17:42
Speaker 1: correct me if I'm wrong. You're talking right now, well
17:45
Speaker 1: Jackson Smith and Jake but we'll got to him in
17:46
Speaker 1: a second. Justin Jefferson, Jamar Chase, CD Pickings. Yeah, I mean,
17:53
Speaker 1: but that's that's it. That's the class of National Football League.
17:56
Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson is doing his thing. Obviously, former first round
17:58
Speaker 1: pick at twenty twenty, he's doing nothing but produced four
18:01
Speaker 1: time Pro Bowl or two time First team All Pro,
18:04
Speaker 1: gone over one thousand yards in every season in the NFL.
18:07
Speaker 1: He even did it one year when he only played
18:08
Speaker 1: in nine games. Led the league in eighteen hundred yards
18:11
Speaker 1: to twenty twenty two, joined Randy Moss and Tory Holt,
18:14
Speaker 1: is the only players with at least eight thousand receiving
18:16
Speaker 1: yards in their first six seasons in NFL history. Last year,
18:19
Speaker 1: fifteen hundred yards, ten touchdowns and he's still doing pretty
18:22
Speaker 1: well despite the shaky quarterback situation. Sixt year receptions, seven
18:25
Speaker 1: hundred ninety five yards and two touchdowns.
18:28
Speaker 3: And then other side you got Jordan Addison. He was
18:31
Speaker 3: his third season out of Pitt and USC didn't win
18:33
Speaker 3: the blittantcoff.
18:34
Speaker 2: He did win the blittant call.
18:35
Speaker 3: Started thirty six to forty games with two one hundred
18:38
Speaker 3: and ninety eight yards and twenty two touchdowns. Always a
18:41
Speaker 3: deep good has at least a sixty two yard reception
18:43
Speaker 3: in every season, including an eighty one yard of this season.
18:46
Speaker 3: So far this year, these twenty eight receptions four to
18:49
Speaker 3: twelve yards and three touchdown. Despite who's gone in the football,
18:52
Speaker 3: this two can get busy and we're seeing that, no.
18:56
Speaker 2: Question about it. Yeah, so again, stay deep.
18:58
Speaker 1: I have faith in the Seahawks secondary, especially while they've played,
19:02
Speaker 1: but these guys can beat you. We saw last year,
19:04
Speaker 1: literally ended the game last year with Justin Jefferson getting
19:07
Speaker 1: beat deep. You know, at the end of that game,
19:09
Speaker 1: popping it over to our guy Jackson Smith and Jagba
19:11
Speaker 1: Bump again.
19:12
Speaker 2: We could talk about this dude forever.
19:14
Speaker 1: One hundred sixty seven yards last week, two touchdowns set
19:17
Speaker 1: the single season record pass Twuio Jones for fifth most
19:20
Speaker 1: receiving yards ever in the first player first eleven games,
19:23
Speaker 1: leads the NFL and receiving yards, yards per game, yards
19:26
Speaker 1: per test fourth and yards per reception eighty receptions one
19:29
Speaker 1: three hundred and thirteen yards and seven touchdowns and one
19:32
Speaker 1: other thing from Next Gen Stats, JSN is acounted for
19:34
Speaker 1: nearly half of the Seahawks air yards this season, resulting
19:37
Speaker 1: in the highest air yards share by a receiver during
19:39
Speaker 1: the next Gen Stats era going back to twenty sixteen.
19:42
Speaker 1: That's forty eight percent of those things.
19:44
Speaker 2: So Jayson Dog, are we surprised anymore?
19:49
Speaker 3: I think he's averaging one hundred and nineteen yards per
19:51
Speaker 3: game right now, needs one oh nine to break a
19:54
Speaker 3: one on nine per game to break two thousand yards.
19:56
Speaker 3: We'll see man, I'm gonna joining the ride man. Good
19:59
Speaker 3: for JSM Cooper Cubs being contributed as well. He's got
20:01
Speaker 3: thirty one receptions for four hundred and four yards and
20:04
Speaker 3: Rashis Shahet is now played in three games for the Hawks.
20:08
Speaker 3: Still got to find a way to get him that
20:10
Speaker 3: explosive play, but he is affecting the defenses like the
20:14
Speaker 3: rouse He's putting them on or kobyak Is putting them on,
20:16
Speaker 3: is affecting these defenses and getting other guys open. Eventually
20:19
Speaker 3: it's going to happen. Maybe it's today or this week
20:23
Speaker 3: for Rashid.
20:24
Speaker 2: Yeah, love to see it again.
20:25
Speaker 1: And what I did like to see though, obviously Tory
20:28
Speaker 1: Horton ran a kickback for touchdown, so he was doing
20:30
Speaker 1: this thing that's supposed to be. But I just love
20:32
Speaker 1: how in the return game even he looks really good
20:34
Speaker 1: against the Titans and he's right there almost breaking one.
20:37
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be shocked if he ran one back to
20:38
Speaker 1: the house as well. And lastly, bumpus Is look at
20:41
Speaker 1: a couple of top defenders for the Vikings. Last season,
20:43
Speaker 1: they were led by Jonathan Greenart and Andrew Van Ginkel.
20:48
Speaker 1: They had twenty three and a half sacks thirty six
20:50
Speaker 1: tackles for loss. This year, they've been a little bit
20:52
Speaker 1: danged up. Van Ginkle's missed five games with a neck
20:55
Speaker 1: issue he's been battling that, missed some time, had a concussion.
20:59
Speaker 1: Greenard is this last two games with a shoulder injury,
21:01
Speaker 1: and he's their best pass rusher. I think he has
21:03
Speaker 1: thirty six pressures on the year despite missing the last
21:05
Speaker 1: two games. So those guys kind of make this thing turn.
21:08
Speaker 1: So we'll see them. Those guys that you know between
21:10
Speaker 1: Charles Cross Abe Lucas gonna have to definitely account for.
21:14
Speaker 2: Yeah, Ed just got to be on pointed in.
21:15
Speaker 3: You got Eric Wilson, a good backer, Dallas Turner and
21:18
Speaker 3: Jalen Redmond as well.
21:19
Speaker 2: Those guys.
21:20
Speaker 3: Wilson has ten TFLs. I think he's tied for ninth
21:23
Speaker 3: in the league when it comes to TFLs. Turner has
21:26
Speaker 3: six of them things. Jalen has eight of those things
21:28
Speaker 3: as well, and yeah, they got we know this defense
21:32
Speaker 3: is good. It's a it's a florist's defense. They're gonna
21:34
Speaker 3: be aggressive. They got some names over there that you recognize.
21:37
Speaker 3: Nothing's given in this league, so go ahead and get
21:40
Speaker 3: after this defense.
21:41
Speaker 1: It'll be it'll be a fun one at Loominfield on Sunday.
21:44
Speaker 1: We'll let you know how the Seahawks are going to
21:46
Speaker 1: get this done with a path to victory. After forty
21:50
Speaker 1: five waits for the staff Packer, Dickson puts it down.
21:53
Speaker 2: That kick is away. If that kick is gun, good
21:57
Speaker 2: day off. When rit gun, it's a path to victory.
22:00
Speaker 1: On Hawk Talk I'll be Frank Bump. I feel like
22:03
Speaker 1: this is a game is the auction handle because they're the
22:05
Speaker 1: better team. They're a better team on paper, they're a
22:07
Speaker 1: better team on film that we've seen. Obviously, CNFL, you
22:09
Speaker 1: gotta go there and play. Tennessee proved that last week
22:12
Speaker 1: that you got to show up and you still got
22:13
Speaker 1: to play well.
22:14
Speaker 2: But I think they should.
22:14
Speaker 1: They are better at almost every category, and for me,
22:17
Speaker 1: it's gonna start with getting after the quarterback. Whoever's lined
22:20
Speaker 1: up after it got to make their life hell with
22:22
Speaker 1: the st line.
22:22
Speaker 2: I think they can make that happen.
22:24
Speaker 3: Yeah, create turnovers, relentless pressure, keep the playmakers from beating.
22:28
Speaker 2: You can't let Justin Jefferson look like the guy we
22:30
Speaker 2: know he is.
22:32
Speaker 3: Keep everything in front of you, and offensively take care
22:34
Speaker 3: of the football. Build off the last week. No turnovers
22:36
Speaker 3: last week, Let's keep that rolling. And that's the only
22:40
Speaker 3: way these guys to stay in the game is if
22:41
Speaker 3: you turn the football over. And I think it's gonna
22:43
Speaker 3: be bros at the QB spot. I think they said
22:46
Speaker 3: JJ's in a cut of protocol, so like, but maybe
22:50
Speaker 3: JJ moraculously hills and he plays whoever get after that
22:53
Speaker 3: dang quarterback.
22:54
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, it's obviously hard to get out of count
22:56
Speaker 1: protocol within a week. So we'll see what happens there. Yeah,
22:58
Speaker 1: get after whoever's playing. That's from the football, let's from
23:01
Speaker 1: that thing, ken Walker. We've seen it.
23:03
Speaker 2: We're right there.
23:04
Speaker 1: We've seen a little bit of pieces put it all
23:06
Speaker 1: together go over one hundred yards. I would love to
23:08
Speaker 1: see that out a K nine and I just want
23:10
Speaker 1: to see this team go out there and dominate. Like
23:11
Speaker 1: we said, don't give up a special teams touchdowns. Another
23:13
Speaker 1: thing you talked about the only way that the Viking's
23:15
Speaker 1: to win this game turnovers and impact on special teams.
23:18
Speaker 2: There was an incident, That's what I felt like. It
23:22
Speaker 2: was an incident, an unfortunate incident. It was a punker
23:25
Speaker 2: turned touchdown.
23:26
Speaker 1: But coach Harbos had the Seahawks special teams on point
23:29
Speaker 1: all season long, so I would be absolutely shocked that
23:32
Speaker 1: happened again. Seahawks take it on the Vikings this Sunday
23:35
Speaker 1: at Lumenfield one oh five. You can hear Michael Bumpus
23:38
Speaker 1: and the rest of the pregame guys on the radio
23:40
Speaker 1: at ten am.
23:42
Speaker 2: Should be a fun one.
23:43
Speaker 1: Hopefully we'll be talking to you on Monday about a
23:45
Speaker 1: Seahawks victory. Happy thanks to giving everybody out there listen
23:48
Speaker 1: and really really appreciate it. He's Michael Bumpus, I'm NASA Choby.
23:52
Speaker 1: This has been Hawk Talk
