1:20
Speaker 1: Meyers got a chance at redemption, gets the Seahawks into
1:24
Speaker 1: the playoffs after they beat the Rams nineteen to sixteen overtime,
1:26
Speaker 1: and the Seahawks got the help they needed from the
1:28
Speaker 1: Detroit Lions. Thank you Dan Campbell and everybody in Detroit
1:32
Speaker 1: forgetting the Seahawks in the playoffs. But it's about that time.
1:35
Speaker 1: Let's go through what happened on Sunday, what had happened.
1:38
Speaker 1: See what had happened at first left what had happened
1:42
Speaker 1: was unhawk knocking. Man. So when we're doing our postgame
1:47
Speaker 1: show last night, we were obviously the game was going on,
1:50
Speaker 1: we knew we had won. Detroit was playing. They were
1:52
Speaker 1: down early in that game, trying to fight back. And
1:54
Speaker 1: we get off the air and there's still a half
1:55
Speaker 1: hour ago. Everyone's kind of going their separate ways. We're
1:58
Speaker 1: all texting each other. How'd you enjoy the last thirty
2:00
Speaker 1: minutes of that Packers Lions game? Oh man, it was awesome.
2:04
Speaker 1: You know. I went to the spot and met up
2:05
Speaker 1: with with some friends and stuff, and all Seahawks fans
2:08
Speaker 1: were Lions fans. I actually met some people from Detroit
2:12
Speaker 1: who were watching the game, and they were it was
2:15
Speaker 1: bitter sweet. They're like, yeah, we're not playing for anything,
2:18
Speaker 1: but at least we can help you guys out. But
2:20
Speaker 1: it was intense. Man. It was like I was watching
2:21
Speaker 1: the seaholl game honestly, like, I'm rooting for the Lions.
2:24
Speaker 1: On third and long, they have a crazy like fleet
2:28
Speaker 1: flicker type play where they convert and making what third
2:31
Speaker 1: and two or something like that. Then on fourth down,
2:34
Speaker 1: Jared Goff is going forward. I'm like, I was emotionally
2:36
Speaker 1: invested in that game. Oh yeah, to say the least,
2:39
Speaker 1: I was losing my mind that went home and had
2:41
Speaker 1: my daughter at home, and I couldn't scream and yell
2:43
Speaker 1: like I wanted to because we just tried to put
2:45
Speaker 1: it down for bedtime. But it was a lot of
2:47
Speaker 1: silent cheers. And I couldn't believe the stones on Dan
2:49
Speaker 1: Campbell to run some of those plays. I get it. Yeah,
2:52
Speaker 1: they didn't have the playoffs to play for us, so
2:54
Speaker 1: maybe they had to play a little looser, but you
2:55
Speaker 1: call a hook and ladder type play in that situation,
2:58
Speaker 1: and then Jared Goff on all those fourth downs, I mean,
3:00
Speaker 1: big ups the lines because thank you, Ray Roberts, whoever
3:03
Speaker 1: you called, whatever you had to do down in Detroit
3:05
Speaker 1: to get them to win at lambeau Field when they
3:07
Speaker 1: were three of their last like nineteen or something like that.
3:09
Speaker 1: Since the year two thousand and so, big ups to
3:12
Speaker 1: Detroit got the Seahawks in the playoffs. But Bump it
3:15
Speaker 1: started before that because the Seahawks, you know, had to
3:18
Speaker 1: take care of business at home against the Rams in
3:20
Speaker 1: this year. You know, some of those type of games
3:23
Speaker 1: have been tough, and it's always tough against the Rams.
3:24
Speaker 1: This is the first time the Seahawks have swept the
3:26
Speaker 1: Rams since twenty thirteen, so it's been a long time.
3:29
Speaker 1: And this game started completely opposite of the Jets game.
3:33
Speaker 1: Jets game starts off six yard run by k nine Boom.
3:36
Speaker 1: Three plays later Kobe Parkinson touchdown. This week, completely different
3:39
Speaker 1: first play from Scrimmon Gino Smith intercepted by Jalen Ramsey,
3:43
Speaker 1: Deepenhawks territory. The Seahawks defense would hold and the Rams
3:46
Speaker 1: would settle for a field goal, making three nothing early bump.
3:49
Speaker 1: But really disastrous start from the Seahawks on offense for sure, Yeah, disastrous.
3:54
Speaker 1: G know those that pig defense holds up. So it
3:56
Speaker 1: started off bad, but then the defense kind of kept
3:58
Speaker 1: them in the game. You mentioned they go down three zero,
4:02
Speaker 1: but then the Hawks to goal eleven plays fifty six yards,
4:04
Speaker 1: but they will set a four field goal. He had
4:06
Speaker 1: a false start from Geno. He was lined up as
4:09
Speaker 1: a receiver during that wildcap formation with DJ Dallas standing
4:13
Speaker 1: there at quarterback. I was excited when I saw that.
4:15
Speaker 1: I go, just don't throw the football like they did
4:17
Speaker 1: against the nine week two. DJ just run that thing.
4:21
Speaker 1: And then after a Rams punt, they would exchange field goals,
4:26
Speaker 1: making a score six to six, and it was just
4:28
Speaker 1: a dog five man it was. You knew it was
4:29
Speaker 1: gonna be a close one, but just the way the
4:31
Speaker 1: game started it reassured you that your thoughts were accurate.
4:36
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a tight game. Yeah. I mean every
4:38
Speaker 1: time it is out with the Rams and something about it,
4:41
Speaker 1: I don't know what it is. Sean McVay always has
4:43
Speaker 1: those guys ready to play in divisional game. We saw
4:45
Speaker 1: it with Detroit and Green Bay. Teams are gonna play
4:47
Speaker 1: hard even if there's nothing on the line in The
4:49
Speaker 1: Rams absolutely did that. After that, you know, six six,
4:52
Speaker 1: The next three drives were punts before the Rams finally
4:55
Speaker 1: getting the ends one themselves on a nine play eighty
4:57
Speaker 1: seven yeard drive ending with a two two at le
5:00
Speaker 1: in your touchdown run that made the score thirteen to
5:02
Speaker 1: six and a a half and we went into halftime. You're like,
5:04
Speaker 1: the Seahawks are felt like they were dominating the football game.
5:07
Speaker 1: You just didn't see it on the scoreboard. So the
5:09
Speaker 1: Seahawks get a force the Rams punt on the first
5:11
Speaker 1: possession they take over the ball. They would put together
5:14
Speaker 1: their best drive of the day to that point, five
5:16
Speaker 1: plays eighty eight yards, ending with a Tyler Lockett thirty
5:19
Speaker 1: six yard touchdown that tied the score up at thirteen. Yep. Well,
5:23
Speaker 1: then the Hawks put together another nice drive. They stalled
5:26
Speaker 1: on the one yard land though after going sixteen plays. Man,
5:29
Speaker 1: I think the longest drive this year was seventeen plays
5:31
Speaker 1: for these guys, So sixteen plays eighty two yards they
5:34
Speaker 1: would have to settle for a field goal tie in
5:36
Speaker 1: the game at sixteen. Then the Hawks force a punt.
5:40
Speaker 1: They get the ball back with a chance to win
5:42
Speaker 1: the game. Gino gets outside the pockety scrambles, gets to
5:46
Speaker 1: the sideline. Jalen Ramsey Loris showed them gotta lay hit
5:49
Speaker 1: right there. That tacked on fifteen more yards, setting up
5:52
Speaker 1: a chance to win the game. Jason Myers kicking towards
5:56
Speaker 1: the north end zone. As soon as I put all
5:58
Speaker 1: that together, I'm thinking, Yeah, this ain't gonna be a
6:00
Speaker 1: little chip shot. That's the north end zone. North endzon.
6:03
Speaker 1: No play, No, it doesn't. And the wind started to
6:05
Speaker 1: kind of pick up. It was wet, nasty game. It
6:07
Speaker 1: hits off the upright and you're thinking, oh my goodness,
6:10
Speaker 1: that forced overtime, and then you think, okay, Seahawks win
6:13
Speaker 1: the toss. Chan on some T Jack energy r I P.
6:16
Speaker 1: T Jack used to always win all them coin tosses.
6:19
Speaker 1: And the Seahawks do nothing with their first possession. They
6:21
Speaker 1: go three and out punt the football, and then their
6:25
Speaker 1: defense is on the field and you're thinking, you know,
6:26
Speaker 1: next score wins, So even a field goal, you're hoping
6:29
Speaker 1: the defense could stand up strong, and they absolutely did that.
6:31
Speaker 1: When Quandre Diggs comes up with a huge interception getting
6:34
Speaker 1: the ball back from the Seahawks, we're gonna break that
6:36
Speaker 1: play down in the film room. But that was a
6:38
Speaker 1: huge play, season saving play by Quandre Diggs, honestly, because
6:41
Speaker 1: it looked like Van Jefferson was open on that play.
6:43
Speaker 1: He makes an unbelievable interception, setting the Seahawks giving him
6:46
Speaker 1: the ball back. Yeah. I was actually in the Verizon
6:50
Speaker 1: lounge that's in the south end zone looking through the
6:52
Speaker 1: glass and saw go down. I saw Mayfield fire that thing.
6:56
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh my goodness, and I to see Diggs
6:58
Speaker 1: flying out of nowhere, intercepts and catches the football and
7:01
Speaker 1: then points to Bobby right afterwards. Bobby's right there on
7:03
Speaker 1: the sideline. Little gamesmanship there. Gino gets the football, they
7:07
Speaker 1: go down the field, they start to march and they
7:10
Speaker 1: set you know, and there were a couple of runs
7:11
Speaker 1: by ken Walker during that drive too that really set
7:15
Speaker 1: this guy's up for success. You get Myers within range,
7:18
Speaker 1: he puts it on the foot home over time when
7:21
Speaker 1: went back to the north end zone, and it made
7:25
Speaker 1: things right, you know, absolutely, You're right. Ken Walker at
7:27
Speaker 1: a nice twenty yard run that really set it up
7:28
Speaker 1: and made it and made it a chip shot. And
7:30
Speaker 1: then they got the ball on the other Hatch, and
7:32
Speaker 1: I think that was a better suited for Jason Myers,
7:33
Speaker 1: and Myers has I felt bad for him because he
7:36
Speaker 1: has been amazing this season. He had best year of
7:38
Speaker 1: his career, you know, and he was nailed, So I
7:41
Speaker 1: had no doubt that he was going to make that
7:42
Speaker 1: second one. And the Seahawks are in the playoffs after
7:45
Speaker 1: we obviously we figure out what happened on Sunday Night football,
7:47
Speaker 1: and the Seahawks have not missed the playoffs and consecutive
7:50
Speaker 1: seasons under Pete Carroll, the tenth time they've made it
7:53
Speaker 1: to the postseason. What Pete and John have done has
7:56
Speaker 1: been amazing and honestly, bump this ghasting me probably in
8:00
Speaker 1: my opinion, other than winning the Super Bowl, their best job,
8:03
Speaker 1: given what the way they went through this offseason, the
8:05
Speaker 1: players on the team, all the rookies are playing, has
8:07
Speaker 1: to be their best job. And if they don't win
8:09
Speaker 1: Executive of the Year to Coach of the Year, which
8:11
Speaker 1: we're probably gonna get screwed over in it's a travesty
8:13
Speaker 1: because the job they did this year is phenomenal. Yeah, man,
8:17
Speaker 1: when it comes to losing the franchise quarterback riding with Gino,
8:21
Speaker 1: when people are asking other quarterbacks to come in Drew
8:25
Speaker 1: Lock over there. I did a film breakdown with Shane
8:28
Speaker 1: Waldon and he loved some Drew Lock. But they ride
8:30
Speaker 1: with Gino playing a whole bunch of rookies. It was
8:33
Speaker 1: this show just the culture really matters in the organization
8:36
Speaker 1: because you were able to get these young guys to
8:38
Speaker 1: perform at a high level. And let's not forget then
8:40
Speaker 1: you bring in Bruce Irvin Well I feel like elevated
8:43
Speaker 1: the play of this defense. It was just overall a
8:46
Speaker 1: great year. This year was going to be a success
8:48
Speaker 1: even if they didn't make the playoffs, just because of
8:50
Speaker 1: all the things they accomplished, but them making the playoffs
8:52
Speaker 1: and doing it the way they did, icing on the cake.
8:56
Speaker 1: Now it's about making some noise in this playoffs. Oh yeah,
8:59
Speaker 1: once you're in dance. You just seen your ticket to
9:01
Speaker 1: the dance. Once you get in, who knows what could happen.
9:03
Speaker 1: We'll break down everything to know about the San Francisco
9:05
Speaker 1: forty nine ers later this week, but let's getting the playmakers.
9:12
Speaker 1: Playmakers starting off what we usually do, and that's Geno Smith.
9:22
Speaker 1: But I'll be up front, he did not have his
9:24
Speaker 1: best football game he said a postgame and I think
9:26
Speaker 1: a couple different interviews that he might have played. He thought,
9:28
Speaker 1: in his opinion, his worst game of the year, nineteen
9:30
Speaker 1: of thirty one, two hundred thirteen yards, one touchdown, two interceptions.
9:34
Speaker 1: But here's the thing about Gino, he still got the
9:36
Speaker 1: job done when he died the most. Almost had two
9:39
Speaker 1: essentially two game winning drives because he set up the
9:43
Speaker 1: game initial game winner Jason Meyers. He missed that field goal,
9:45
Speaker 1: takes him down the field again and overtime, so when
9:47
Speaker 1: it counted, Geno Smith still did with his thing. And
9:50
Speaker 1: due to setting a ton of records franchise, this is
9:53
Speaker 1: sound crazy. Geno Smith's season has been this year set
9:56
Speaker 1: the single season franchise record in attempts at five seventy two,
10:00
Speaker 1: completions at three ninety nine and yards four thousand, two
10:03
Speaker 1: hundred and eighty two, and completion percentage at sixty nine
10:06
Speaker 1: point seven to six percent. He had, you know, arguably
10:10
Speaker 1: the best quarterbacking season in the history of this franchise.
10:13
Speaker 1: That includes Russell Wilson, Dave Craig, Matt Hasselback, Jim Zorn,
10:17
Speaker 1: a lot of really good football players. He also became
10:20
Speaker 1: a third qb in franchise history who throw thirty touchdowns
10:22
Speaker 1: in a season, joining Russell Wilson, Dave greg So, Gino,
10:26
Speaker 1: I mean, he didn't end it the best way statistically.
10:28
Speaker 1: I was really hoping he'd get to seventy percent on
10:31
Speaker 1: the season completion percentage. Would have been the thirteenth quarterback
10:34
Speaker 1: all time to do that. But there's not enough words
10:37
Speaker 1: to say about Geno Smith. What he's meant to this
10:39
Speaker 1: team and to have the season he did with where
10:41
Speaker 1: the odds or where people thought he was at just unbelievable. Man,
10:44
Speaker 1: So shout out Geno Smith and having one of the
10:47
Speaker 1: best seasons in sehak history. Yeah, extremely impressive what Gino did. Man,
10:52
Speaker 1: I didn't think he had this in him, but yeah,
10:55
Speaker 1: through the hater's wrong, don't right back, all right, Gotta
10:58
Speaker 1: go to Ken Walker, Man, he had twenty nine cares
11:00
Speaker 1: on hundred and fourteen yards. Walker joined Kurt Warner as
11:02
Speaker 1: the second rookie and franchise history to rush four thousand yards.
11:06
Speaker 1: He put together three straight one hundred yard rushing performances
11:10
Speaker 1: and this is what you need when you think about it.
11:12
Speaker 1: He really only played in like fourteen games. He did
11:14
Speaker 1: this because he wasn't a starter. He wasn't getting a
11:16
Speaker 1: lot of rest for shot Pinning was the guy, and
11:18
Speaker 1: he is thrown into the starting position and had a
11:21
Speaker 1: great year. Again, we talk about awards, this guy should get,
11:23
Speaker 1: probably get Offensive Rookie of the Year. But you know,
11:26
Speaker 1: how how the league do us? You never know, they
11:29
Speaker 1: might give somebody else for sure. I mean he yeah,
11:33
Speaker 1: maybe Garrett Wilson, I don't know. Ken Watson in the
11:35
Speaker 1: playoffs leads the league and rookies and touchdowns, I don't know,
11:38
Speaker 1: but keep it rolling. Tyler Lockett, he had a great game.
11:41
Speaker 1: Two four reception in fifty four yards, one touchdown, that
11:44
Speaker 1: amazing thirty six yard touchdown. Great ball by genus man.
11:47
Speaker 1: Lockett always comes down with it, never worried about it.
11:49
Speaker 1: If he's gonna get his feet and bounce. He became
11:51
Speaker 1: the second player in franchise history to accord four straight
11:54
Speaker 1: when thousand yards seasons, joining Hall of Famer Steve Largen.
11:59
Speaker 1: Tyre lockeyman, consistent and day in day out, doesn't matter
12:03
Speaker 1: about his hands, his ankles, need whatever. Tyler shows up
12:05
Speaker 1: almost every single week and gets the job done. Yeah,
12:08
Speaker 1: and it was a big touchdown he had. Man that
12:10
Speaker 1: really set the tone and gave the Seahawks that extra
12:13
Speaker 1: push to make him believe that they can get it done.
12:15
Speaker 1: Bruce Irvin had himself a day. Three tackles, one and
12:17
Speaker 1: a half sacks, one TfL, two quarterback hits. He made
12:21
Speaker 1: plays early. He set the tone. I think the week
12:23
Speaker 1: before he on he played in like eleven snaps or
12:25
Speaker 1: something like that. They say, look, you rest up, because
12:27
Speaker 1: we're gonna need you at the end of the season.
12:29
Speaker 1: He did exactly that. And then we talked about this
12:31
Speaker 1: guy already, Quandre Diggs. Four tackles, one pass defended, one
12:35
Speaker 1: interception that saved the season. He ends the season with
12:40
Speaker 1: four interceptions, the only player in the NFL to have
12:43
Speaker 1: at least three interceptions the last six seasons. Man, Now,
12:47
Speaker 1: when he got into the Pro Bowl, we were a
12:48
Speaker 1: bit surprised, but it seemed like ever since he down
12:51
Speaker 1: into the Pro Bowl, he's kind of stepped it up
12:53
Speaker 1: a little bit. Again. He's the veteran guy. He understands
12:56
Speaker 1: as you get lad into the season, you gotta keep
12:58
Speaker 1: elevating exactly what he did. Yeah, Quandre, Honestly, he probably
13:01
Speaker 1: should have eight intersections this season. I think he mentioned
13:04
Speaker 1: that we used to putty him a couple of weeks ago,
13:06
Speaker 1: and I think that might have skewed some of the
13:08
Speaker 1: numbers when it came to Pro Bowl voting. But the
13:10
Speaker 1: thing about this league is when players and coaches also
13:13
Speaker 1: they all recognize Dyale, respect Quandre, and they respect his
13:15
Speaker 1: game and they know what he contributes to the field.
13:17
Speaker 1: So I love to see that from Quandre and then
13:19
Speaker 1: some of the other young guys, Boy Mofe, Darryl Taylor.
13:22
Speaker 1: Boy A had most productive game in the season and
13:24
Speaker 1: talking to light the world on fire in the statue.
13:27
Speaker 1: Three tackles, one sack, one QB hit, but he was active.
13:30
Speaker 1: There's plenty of times I saw him setting the edge,
13:32
Speaker 1: doing great job and run support, you know, things like
13:34
Speaker 1: them that nature getting after the quarterbacks. So I'd love
13:36
Speaker 1: to see that from boy and Darryl Taylor. He had
13:38
Speaker 1: another sack, finished the year nine and a half sacks
13:41
Speaker 1: in a year we I thought he was going to
13:43
Speaker 1: have crazy double digits. I thought he'd have at least
13:46
Speaker 1: twelve plus, and despite less playing time and despite it
13:49
Speaker 1: taking him while to you know, really start to make
13:52
Speaker 1: any noise, he still had nine and a half sacks.
13:54
Speaker 1: So that just shows you if he can tap into
13:56
Speaker 1: his real potential. He could be something pretty special. Bum
14:00
Speaker 1: take us through the receiver round up another another week.
14:03
Speaker 1: Not a lot of big numbers, Yeah, not a lot
14:08
Speaker 1: of big numbers, but enough to get the w tire
14:10
Speaker 1: Lockett four catches for fifty four yards, one touchdown, Kobe
14:14
Speaker 1: Parkinson at two for forty seven, but a big reception
14:17
Speaker 1: for thirty two yards. It felt like he had more
14:19
Speaker 1: than that. Honestly, Decay had three for forty. You could
14:22
Speaker 1: say Ramsey won this matchup. DK won the first round.
14:25
Speaker 1: Ramsey got this one. Derek Young happy to see this
14:27
Speaker 1: young man out there. Not only did he make plays
14:29
Speaker 1: receiving the rock two for twenty four, he's on special
14:32
Speaker 1: teams making plays as well. Kay Johnson got in there.
14:35
Speaker 1: He had two for twenty one, no offan another four
14:38
Speaker 1: receptions for twenty yards can walk on one for ten
14:40
Speaker 1: and then DJ Dallas had a reception as well. So,
14:43
Speaker 1: like you said, not a lot of huge numbers, but
14:47
Speaker 1: the distribution was on point and timely plays were made. Yeah.
14:51
Speaker 1: DJ Dallas, he mentioned that one he had one catch
14:53
Speaker 1: minus three crazy one handed grab but he got hit
14:56
Speaker 1: right in the thigh or right in the hip. I
14:58
Speaker 1: know he's probably saw feeling that today, but let's flip
15:01
Speaker 1: it over to the coaches corner. We talked about it.
15:03
Speaker 1: What saved the year for the Seahawks. Defensively, Quandre Diggs
15:07
Speaker 1: intercepts Baker Mayfield in overtime, second and fifteen acres in
15:14
Speaker 1: the backfield. Mayfield from his home twenty one under center playface.
15:20
Speaker 1: Mayfield's looking weft, gonna let it fly. You've got a man.
15:23
Speaker 1: Van Jefferson credited picked up, picks up step time about
15:28
Speaker 1: full side. Finally, Baker Mayfield throws off one, digs, came
15:35
Speaker 1: from the middle of the field, raced all the lay
15:38
Speaker 1: to the far side, had picked it off, his fourth
15:41
Speaker 1: interception of the season. The Seahawks have had life, man.
15:47
Speaker 1: I was just a hustle play from Diggs. Man when
15:50
Speaker 1: you break this thing down, he has to hustle over
15:53
Speaker 1: to the side of Terek willing Te Willen has a
15:55
Speaker 1: curl that's ran in front of him. He has to
15:57
Speaker 1: respect him, so he gives it the necessary attention. Looks
16:00
Speaker 1: like he has a deep third. Quandre sees number twelve.
16:04
Speaker 1: I believe that it is Van Jefferson. He hits the
16:06
Speaker 1: corner and digs just I mean, this is like a drill,
16:11
Speaker 1: you know, when you warm it before game drills, you
16:14
Speaker 1: turn around, you run towards the post. This is the drill.
16:17
Speaker 1: This is exactly what happened, man, And then he makes
16:20
Speaker 1: the play and he makes it harder than it has
16:22
Speaker 1: to be, I think, right, because if you go up
16:24
Speaker 1: and attack the ball with two hands, you're you're more
16:27
Speaker 1: liable to catch it. He kind of catches it over
16:29
Speaker 1: the shoulder, which makes it look prettier though. I'll give
16:31
Speaker 1: him that man style points for that, But that's just
16:34
Speaker 1: him having that free range, you know, being that that
16:37
Speaker 1: safety out there, having a room and make these plays.
16:40
Speaker 1: And then as soon as he catches the football, he
16:42
Speaker 1: points at his boy Bobby, who's right there, and people
16:45
Speaker 1: are giving him a little bit of grief for not
16:47
Speaker 1: getting that film. But I also ask these people to
16:50
Speaker 1: make one of the biggest plays in the season and
16:52
Speaker 1: let me know how you respond with her emotions and stuff.
16:55
Speaker 1: But overall, man, this is a good play in a
16:57
Speaker 1: deep third saw the corner breaks to the corner, makes
17:01
Speaker 1: a heck of a play. Man Diggs looking like a
17:03
Speaker 1: pro bowler. Yeah, I mean, that's how you draw it up.
17:06
Speaker 1: That's teach tape. From a free safety standpoint, you're playing
17:08
Speaker 1: that center field at well goes in motion, you only
17:11
Speaker 1: have a tight end backside looks like Higbee stays in
17:14
Speaker 1: and blocks, so you have one deep threat. And I
17:16
Speaker 1: think Dick talked about a postgame he said, I saw
17:19
Speaker 1: the ball in the air and he's like, oh my goodness.
17:21
Speaker 1: He couldn't say what he was thinking in his head.
17:23
Speaker 1: They called it an old blank read when you realize like, oh,
17:25
Speaker 1: someone's running down the middle of the field. But he
17:27
Speaker 1: flips his hip the second and you said, that's like
17:30
Speaker 1: a drill. That's exactly what you thought of anyone's been
17:32
Speaker 1: a dB before the coach laisy back forth, pedal, pedal, pedal, boom,
17:36
Speaker 1: opens his shoulder, then you either speed turn or get
17:39
Speaker 1: to the corner. And that's what he did. And you're right,
17:41
Speaker 1: and I think he kind of catches it the way
17:44
Speaker 1: he did because he kind of came flat right at
17:46
Speaker 1: the end because that ball is a little bit underthrown
17:48
Speaker 1: and that's just I mean, that's a hell of a play.
17:50
Speaker 1: And it's crazy because Diggs has had three balls were
17:53
Speaker 1: thrown right to him and felt like this year that
17:55
Speaker 1: he couldn't come down with and he makes one of
17:57
Speaker 1: the most difficult in the most high stressed situation of
18:00
Speaker 1: the play. So shout out to Quandre Diggs. The little
18:03
Speaker 1: man is getting after it. Love it. He calls everyone
18:05
Speaker 1: else a little man. That's why I call him little man.
18:06
Speaker 1: There he called me a little Manut be careful, man.
18:09
Speaker 1: They'll be talking about like that every time he sees me,
18:11
Speaker 1: going hey, little man, and I'm like, okay, Quandre, put
18:14
Speaker 1: my business out there. But the Seahawks get it done,
18:18
Speaker 1: going to the playoffs. I can't believe that we're here.
18:20
Speaker 1: You know, I did say that I thought we'd be
18:22
Speaker 1: in the playoffs. You know, I'm very I'm optimistic though,
18:24
Speaker 1: bump so like I was speaking myself into believing it,
18:28
Speaker 1: and I really thought we were going two h or
18:30
Speaker 1: six and three and then things got a little shaky
18:32
Speaker 1: towards the end. But the Seahawks get in the playoffs,
18:35
Speaker 1: and like we said, I hope we have a couple
18:37
Speaker 1: more of these as the season continues. But let's get
18:39
Speaker 1: into victory formation. Here comes the Seahawk offense onto the
18:45
Speaker 1: field and the Vikings defense crunching out there knowing that
18:49
Speaker 1: one meal down and the Seahawks are gonna wind the
18:53
Speaker 1: clock down and women's one. It's the victory formation on
18:56
Speaker 1: Hawk Talk. Wasn't pretty, but the Hawks are back in
18:59
Speaker 1: the playoffs after a tough, greedy win over their division rivals,
19:03
Speaker 1: spoiling Bobby Wagner's home coming, and the Seahawks are back
19:06
Speaker 1: in the playoffs, like we said, for the tenth time
19:09
Speaker 1: in thirteen season with Pete Carroll and John Snyder. And
19:11
Speaker 1: that's an unbelievable run, you know, especially in the year
19:14
Speaker 1: where everyone doubted them, everyone said that they didn't know
19:16
Speaker 1: what they're doing. And it's painfully obvious that y'all don't
19:20
Speaker 1: know what you're doing, what you're talking about, and if
19:22
Speaker 1: you're listening to the pregame. So this week we got
19:25
Speaker 1: receipts you're gonna be hearing from us. Okay, oh man, Yeah,
19:30
Speaker 1: Kim Walker got it done. Two third straight game going
19:32
Speaker 1: over one hundred yards, and you saw rookies making plays everywhere.
19:36
Speaker 1: Man Boy Maffi had a sag, Kobe Bryant had a sag.
19:39
Speaker 1: Tarik was just being the avatar he is all over
19:42
Speaker 1: the place. And the defense held the rams of four
19:45
Speaker 1: for fourteen on third downs in just two hundred and
19:48
Speaker 1: sixty nine total yards. That's what you want to see.
19:51
Speaker 1: You didn't want the Rams are all of a sudden
19:54
Speaker 1: become an offensive juggernaiut right, you haven't been that all year.
19:57
Speaker 1: Be who you are. The defense made sure that, oh,
19:59
Speaker 1: no question about it. Love to see that. The defense
20:01
Speaker 1: has made a lot of improvements the last months. So
20:03
Speaker 1: they're playing great and Gino Smith man getting it done
20:06
Speaker 1: when it counts, you know, game on the line, when
20:08
Speaker 1: it's winning time. Gino Smith has showed who he is
20:10
Speaker 1: despite having a couple of throats through which he could
20:12
Speaker 1: have back. And man, I just allude to the second
20:15
Speaker 1: ago you trade Ross, Bobby's gone. Everyone laughs at the
20:19
Speaker 1: QB situation. Worst team in the league, not gonna win
20:21
Speaker 1: three games, and I I love I know they're not
20:25
Speaker 1: the type of people, but I know Pete and John
20:27
Speaker 1: are being like Man, we tried to tell him, We've
20:29
Speaker 1: been doing this a long time. We know what we're doing.
20:32
Speaker 1: People just don't don't understand. And I'm excited, bum because
20:34
Speaker 1: of the Seawks are playing with house money right now.
20:37
Speaker 1: They're playing with house money and go to San fran
20:38
Speaker 1: do what you can do. Come on, it wasn't a rebuild. Nah,
20:42
Speaker 1: it was not a rebuild. They said, look, we re
20:44
Speaker 1: loove him. We might not have everything we need at
20:47
Speaker 1: this point, but we got enough to go out there
20:49
Speaker 1: and fight. That's exactly what they did this season. I'm
20:51
Speaker 1: exceeded expectations. And now we go to San fran Baby,
