  Speaker 1: Michael Bumpus. Play Fank go to roll right, jumps it

  Speaker 1: off on one tackler gets inside the forty down of

  Speaker 1: the thirty five yard line. Powered by Seahawks dot Com,
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: Matt pump fakes looking to the goal line. He throws
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: it into the end zone. Touchdown. Say Hawks, it's Michael
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: Bumpus with a diving kitchen the end zone. A ten
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: yard touchdown reception for Bumpus, and the kid out of
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: Washington State has found himself a place on this team. Now,
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: here's your host, Nasa Chuby. Welcome into another edition of
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: Hawk Talk, this time the preview. The Seahawks coming off
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: a big win at home as it defeated division rival
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals. Now we are looking ahead to those Los
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: Angeles Chargers of the Seahawks head off onto the road.
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: Let's see what we can do there. As we start
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: every preview edition, let's untapped. What's untapped? Bump These Chargers
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: are four and two, second place in the AFC West.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: They got wins over the Raiders. The Texans, the Browns,
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: and most recently over the Denver Broncos and boy, the Chargers.
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: They're riding high right now. Bump the three game win streak,
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: huge win over division rival on Monday night football, and
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: straight up, this could not have gone any better if
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: you're a Seahawks fan, could not got any better. And honestly, bump,
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell right now, I'm gon take a little
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: bit of credit for this, and I'll tell you why.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: So Monday morning, I'm like, hey, man, I'm looking at
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: the game that I'm like, this is me nice Gettle
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: preview the Chargers, and I said, you know what I
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: want today? I want an overtime game. I wanted to
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: go to the last minute, but I want the Chargers
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: to kick a field goal to win it, so I
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: get covered all bases. Denver loses draft pick status because
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: that's what I'm thinking about for next year and not
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: just being Petty's draft pick. Then I'm thinking about, Okay,
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: this team's are ready on a short week. Now, let's
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: have him play an extra quarter. You know what I'm saying.
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: They're ready, got some guys banged up. It didn't quite
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: go as bad as you know, to the final gun.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: But hey, that's exactly couldn't have gone any better. Not
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: only Broncos lose. Chargers had to play a lot more
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: extra snaps and this is good man. I think only
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: the Seattle market though Bump probably enjoyed that football game.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: I'm not even sure La was down with it, but
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: it was what it was. Game only saw two touchdowns,
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: seven field goals. Russell Wilson, who struggled a bunch this year.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: Bump came out the gates on fire start at ten
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: to ten, one hundred and forty six yards passing, jumped
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: out to a ten zero lead on a thirty nine
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: yard touchdown pass from Wilson to his tight end Greg Dolcich.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: But from that point on, Bump it was a struggle. Yeah,
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: it was bad man. Wilson was sacked four times, he
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: had a rating at eighty six point six, and he
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: injured his hamstring in the fourth quarters, so maybe that
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: changed his game a little bit. He was a bit
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: more elusive earlier in the game. Justin Herbert on the
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: other side, through it fifty seven times for two hundred
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: thirty two hundred thirty eight yards and didn't throw a
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: touchdown for the first time in twenty seven games. Fifty
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: seven attempts. What out of touchdown is an NFL record?
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: Needless the same They were throwing that thing all across
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: the yard. But it was an ugly game. It came
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: down to overtime, and overtime there's a heads up play.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: We kind of saw this play with Tyler Lockett against
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: the forty nine Ers. The Bronkles are back there ready
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: to return a punt and heads up play by the charges.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: I forgot who the guy was. He pushes a Denver
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: Bronco into the returner, a legal play. I'm watching this
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: game with my son. He's like, you can't do that.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: I go, yes, you can, son, That is a heads
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: up legal play. The Denver Broncos end up muffing the punt,
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: and then four plays later the gutsy performance by Justin
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: hack The kicker comes in there with a jacked up hamstring.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: I mean every kick he made, he's falling to one
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: knee doing the tim tebow. He comes through clutch and
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: wins the game for him. You know, I couldn't. Normally
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: we don't talk about a gutsy performance from a kicker
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: or anything like that. I mean Dave Wyman is rolling
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: his eyes somewhere if he hears this, But you watched him, like, man,
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: this dude looks like he's in some real pain there
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: selling it man like completely just milking it or he
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: he was in pain and apparently is because he's gone
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: to be if they put him an ir. But he's
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: gonna miss a couple of weeks with that hamstring. But
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: he gutted it out, came through in the clutch. They
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: won the game, and I'm feeling pretty good if your Seahawk,
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: Fannie should be feeling pretty good because not only do
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: the Seahawks not have to travel across the country for once,
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: it feels like they always got to go across the country,
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: but they might have a slight advantage against his Chargers
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: team coming off a short week and an overtime game.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: Obviously we'll get into head to add here. Chargers are
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: a good football team. We know that there are a
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: lot of people's trying to pick to win the Super
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: Bowl this year. Right, you got a young justin Herbert
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: Keenan Allen, You got a lot of dudes. Eckler's a
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: good guy, will get into all those guys in man up.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: But when you look at this head this head to head.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: But I'm gonna start with the Chargers. They got the
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: seventh ranked offense in the NFL, averaging three hundred and
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: seventy four yards per game. They don't run it great.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: Eckler's a good player, but they're at twenty fifth in
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: the league ninety four yards per game. But passing man
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: Justin Herbert can throw that thing. This is the third
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: best passing offense in the National Football League at two
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: hundred and eighty yards per game, and in points per
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: game they're tied for eleventh with twenty three. So this
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: offense is gonna present challenges. They didn't look as great
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: as they could have against Denver. They lot they're starting
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: centers out and the backup who replaced him was out,
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: so their third string guy was snapping at the end
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: of that game. But this offense is not to be
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: messed with. Bumm. Yeah, lots of weapons on offense, and
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: you look at the numbers, you gotta respect it offensively,
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: for the Seahawks are a twelfth overall, eleven the running,
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: fourteen passing, and tied for eight. When it comes up
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: putting up points or averaging round twenty four points per game. Defensively,
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: they moved up just a little bit. No longer the
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: worst defense in the league. There are now thirtieth giving
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: up four intre ten yards per game one hundred and
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: sixty five in the ground. That's good for thirty first.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: And then their past defense is twenty second in the league.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: I feel like that past defense is better than twenty
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: second though, especially with the way to wreak his playing.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: Mike Jackson getting into the mix as well. And when
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: you look at the stat leaders. You talked about eckler
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: Man he is I call him mister twenty five and
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: twenty five. He's got twenty five receptions for touchdowns, twenty
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: five Russian touchdowns. We're gonna see a lot of him.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: Ken Walkers now the leading Russia for your Seattle Sea Ox.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: Then you got locked. You got Ochena with three sacks,
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: he leads the team. T Woucharik Willenhaus four himself. So
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: on the other side, Khalil Mack one of the best
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: defensive players in the game right now. He has six sacks.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: So we talked about this Charger offense, but they got
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: some guys on defense who can get her done. This
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: will be a tough matchup for the Seahawks on the road,
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: and this will be huge one for their confidence. This
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: will be probably the best win of the season if
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: they can get that done. So hopefully they can figure
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: out a way to get it done at Sofi Stadium.
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: But these two teams are former AFC West rivals. Let's
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: know the history, no your history. Seattle leads to the
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: all time series with their old AFCUS rivals. As I mentioned,
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: twenty six to twenty five Chargers. They'll have won three
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: of the last four meetings and the last game bump
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: was a crazy game at Looming Field back in twenty
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: eighteen as the Seahawks fell to the Charger twenty five
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: to seventeen. And this game was a typical kind of
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: Seahawks fashion game. They got behind, but as Pete Carroll says,
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: you can and win the game to the fourth quarter.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: So Russell threw a pick six late in that fourth
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: quarter and they fell down twenty five to ten. But
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: just like he did many times over his career, he
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: made things interesting. Answered with a long drive with a
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: Nick Vannette touchdown on fourth and goal. Seahawks defense gets
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: to stop on the ensuing possession, Russ gets the ball
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: back with one thirty three remaining. Russ leads the Seahawks
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: crazy down the field. Then, on fourth and two with
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: the Charger twenty Tyler Lockett draws a pass interference penalty.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: This gives the Seahawks one untimed down on fourth down
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: from the one yard line with no time left. You're thinking,
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: Chris Carson's gonna get the rock. It's gonna be tie game.
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: Not so fast j R. Sweezy fall starts move the
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: wall back to six. Russell can't find Demo Swag on
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: fourth down, and the Chargers won that game. Different time.
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: Bum doesn't seem Michaels that long ago, But the leading
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: Russian the Seahawks that day was Mike Davis with sixty
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: two yards wow, and Doug Baldwin had seventy seven yards
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: on four receptions. Bobby Wagner did his thing thirteen tackles,
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: three passes defended, and one QB hit. So for me,
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: the Seahawks can kind of break what's happened over the
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: last couple of matchups against these Chargers. But let's go
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: back to our side, the NFC West. What's the word
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: and the Seahawks or the NFC West champs again. What's
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: the word in the West? On Hot Talk? In the
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: NFC West, the Seahawks are in first place. They're sharing
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: it though, with the forty nine is in the Los
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: Angeles Rams. The Cardinals were at the bottom at two
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: and four. It was a good week in the NFC
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: West if you are a Seahawks fan. The Sehaws beat
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: the Cardinals in the forty nine is dropped to the Falcons.
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: The only other team to win this week were the Rams.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: I believe they beat the Carolina Panthers. All right, let's
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: talk about these forty nine ers and these Falcons. It
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: turns out these guys aren't bad overall. They beat the
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: forty nine is twenty eight to fourteen, and they are
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: three and three on the season. Mariota, man, he's playing
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: some good ball right now. He looks young. I'll see
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: him running around and making plays like the fountain of
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: youth is there where Mariota. He accounted for all three
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: off and some touchdowns for the Falcons, and he finished
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: thirteen to fourteen the one twenty nine, two touchdowns, zero interceptions.
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: Very efficient day. Not a lot of big numbers, but
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: very efficient. One hundred forty four passer Rainy. He has
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: six cans with fifty yards and eight touchdowns. Now, their
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: game plan was conservative, and I think that's the way
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: they have to go with the Atlanta Falcons. You still
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: have some weapons, you got Drake London, you got some
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: playmakers on that side, but with this offense, you have
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: to be conservative. And that's what they do. Now, Jimmy
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: GE was Jimmy G right, And what exactly does that
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: mean for the people? What was Jimmy gw It's sough man.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: We've we've talked to We've gone round and round on
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: Jimmy on this podcast. But when we say Jimmy G's
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: being Jimmy G, that just means he was averaged to
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: below average. And on last Sunday he was below average.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: You know, he was he threw two picks or you know,
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: he had two touchdowns. So he does something good, does
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: something bad, you know, twenty nine and forty one, two touchdown,
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: two picks. It's just Jimmy. It's just good enough to
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: sometimes keep you in the game, but also good enough
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: to get your beat. I mean, I don't That's really
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: all I can say about that. Right, And we were
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: and there were people out here who wanted Jimmy G
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: to be a Seattle Seahawks. You know Smith is shutting
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: that down right now, now, Brandon and you still had
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: a good game. He had two touchdowns, he had eight
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: recessions for eighty three yards, and two tuddies. But that
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: was really only the only shining spot for these forty
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: Niners you mentioned Jimmy G. He finished twenty nine to
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: forty one, two touchdowns, two interceptions, and both teams ram
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: sixty plays. I don't know what to think of the
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: Atlanta Falcons. I don't know it's the think of the
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: forty Niners at this point, but I know that the
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: Falcons did us a solid and took care of the
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: Niners so we can tie the sting up in the division. Now.
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: Appreciate them for that for real. You know, I didn't
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: appreciate what happened up here in Seattle, but doing a
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: Saud on the back end is nice. I know, the
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: four narts of a good defense. Like you said, I
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: don't know what else to say about them staying in
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: the division, though, another team with a quarterback that a
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: lot of people out here wanted, Baker Mayfield. Yeah, for
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: those Panthers. He did not play because things are I'll
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: just say right now, things are rough. Things are rough
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: in Carolina. Scott Fitterer, who's their GM, was really good
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: here in Seattle. So love Scott. Scott was a great dude.
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: So I'm feeling free. Scott. Hopefully you guys pull it together,
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: you know, on the field. But right now, stuff. So
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: they loose to the Rams, and they were up on
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: they kind of give the Rams run it their you
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: know money. Panthers led ten to seven at the half
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: after a pick six. As we know, Matthew Staff has
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: been struggling the interceptions because when he's good, he's good.
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: When he's bad, he's bad. He's been making a lot
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: of those really crucial mistakes so far this season. But
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: after that, that was really the only thing the Panthers had.
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: Rams score seventeen and answered points in the second half.
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: Carolina only ran forty four plays, eight first downs, two
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: of ten on third down. It was bad and you know,
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: I mentioned Baker Mayfield was hurt. Sam Arnold's hurt. P
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: J Walker started the game, didn't play well. Jacobieson though
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: shout out Jacobson dub former st QB Pride of Lake
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: Stevens High School got in the game, you won three
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: or five for a fifty nine yards, but did throw
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: inception to make matters worse. There's an altercation on the sideline.
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: Bump wide receiver coach gets into with Robbie Anderson. There's
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: a whole scuffle. Wilkes says, nah, like go inside, We're
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: done with you. You know what I'm saying. And then
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: he got traded the next day out of there. So yeah,
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: things aren't going great there in Carolina. Hoping for Scott
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: fitter Or's sake, did those get up because he's a
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: great dude. In the divisional standing with the Rams, Stafford
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: twenty six to thirty three, two fifty three, one touchdown,
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: one interception. Cooper couple let the way with eighty yards
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: on seven receptions. Rams hosts to forty nine ers in
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: a big NFC West matchup, not this week but the
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: following week, so it'll be interesting to see. The Rams
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: have a bye this week, so the West can get tricky.
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: If if the Seahawks Bump can figure something out this week,
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: there is a chance come on, could be all alone
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: in first place. But let's get back into the team
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: the Seahawks are playing this week the Los Angeles Chargers.
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: Man up is thisss man up on Hawk Talk Justin Herbert, Bump,
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: this is the dude. He is that dude. He planned Oregon.
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: You worked for the Pac twelve, so you got to
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: see this man a lot. He's the man. He's in
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: his third season with the Chargers. So far, he's lived
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: up to the hype. He's coming off a monster season
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: where he went four one hundred and forty three for
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: six seventy two five fourteen yards, thirty eight touchdowns fifteen interceptions.
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: This year so far, he's got seventeen hundred yards, ten touchdowns,
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: three interceptions, currently on pace to throw for over five
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: thousand and thirty touchdowns again and Bum, he's playing through
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: something right now. So it's pretty impressive what he's doing
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: because he's playing through a rib fracture rib cartilage on
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: a hit that he suffered I believe against the Chiefs
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: in Week two. So he's gutting through it. But Bump,
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: he tell me what you like about Justin Herbert, because
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: I feel like he is the real deal. Man. One
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: is demeanor. I know that was a knock on him, honestly,
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: coming out of Oregon. They said he didn't show a
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: lot of emotion, but I think that might be his
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: superpower man. He's like, look, I'm not gonna show a
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: lot of emotion. I'm just gonna be even killed and
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna get this done. He's only been sacked seven
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: times this season, so he's getting the football out on
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: time and that offensive line is protecting him. He's got weapons.
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: We're gonna talk about the weapons that he has. You
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: can buy that arm, that demeanor, that offensive line. With
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: the weapons he has, he's looking pretty good. What else
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: we got There's another quarterback who's doing his thing bomb
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: who is at We got Geno Smith. He is our guy.
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: The most accurate quarterback in the league, completing seventy three
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: percent of his passes. He did follow the number three
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: in QB rating. He's a one on one, one on
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: eight point one, just one point behind Josh Allen and
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: two or two. I had a week off though, he
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: was recovering, so he didn't have to put that rating
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: to risk. So far this season, he is one thirty
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: eight for one eighty eight fifteen hundred and two yards,
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: nine touchdowns, two interceptions. He's also been getting them knees up,
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: carries one twenty five and one touchdown, and Gino also
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: has lad to Seehaus is scoring on forty four percent
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: of their offensive drives. That rings fourth in the NFL.
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: That means when he has a football, he's moving it,
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: he's spreading it around, and we're getting points on the board.
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: He only needs thirty pass attempts without an interception to
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: set a career high of attempts one sixteen attempts, currently
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: on second on the longest career streak of eighty six
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: attempts without an interception. Smart with the ball, Gino, And
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: you know what, we talked about this the other day,
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: and this whole swag is different. Like he's wearing like
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: the European suits. Now he's showing up, you know, hopping
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: out the car, walking through the tunnel, looking like an
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: NFL Pro Bowl type quarterback. I love what I'm seeing. Oh,
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: he Gino. At this point he walks into the room,
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: You're like, oh, who's that. Oh Gino owns every room
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: he walks into. Right now, he walks him to the podium, calm, cool, collected, smooth.
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: As he said, people try riding mofi and right back.
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: Gino love it, and Geno's going up against the Chargers
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: defense has just been okay, ranking an eighteenth in NFL,
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: allowing three hundred and forty nine yards per game. They're
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: also about so so eighteenth in the NFL and pass
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: passing allowing two hundred and twenty four yards per game.
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: So Geno's gonna have to think he's chooses spots. Definitely,
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: I think he's got a shot against them. You know,
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: anytime DK metcalf tar lockin on the fielding and want
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: to take them, especially coming off a week where they
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: only had four combined receptions. So I think Gino is
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: going to be in his bag on Sunday. So definitely
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: be looking for that. And then another player for the
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: for the Chargers man Austin Eckler. This matchup I'm really
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: interested in against that Sehawk front seven. Austin Eckler is
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: a great running back man. He the way I look
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: at it. Man Justin Herbert obvious touched the ball every
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: single play because he's quarterback. The next dude is Austin Eckler.
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: He's got one hundred and sixteen touch ins on offense
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: between carries and receptions. Seventy five carries three hundred forty
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: nine yards, four touchdowns. He's also got forty one receptions,
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: two hundred and sixty one yards and two touchdowns on
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: forty nine targets. His forty one receptions lead the team.
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: So he's in a six year with the Chargers out
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: of Western Colorado Division two school and he's done nothing
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: but produced since arriving last season. Nine hundred eleven yards,
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: twelve touchdowns, six hundred and forty seven receiving yards, eight
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: receiving touchdowns and bump. I don't know if this is lazy.
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: I don't watch that much Chargers football. Yeah, but when
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: you think of running bass, I can do it all
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: you think of Darren Sproles, that kind of the shorter,
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: smaller shift of your back. It might be lazy, but
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: the production is there. Yeah, he does. He does around
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: me in d Spros for sure, like the size, the
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: wiggle now d Spros man. He was a special talent,
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: for sure. But you see some of that in my guy,
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: Austin Ecklin. All right, another matchup. We got Mike Williams,
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: Keenan Allen, Joshua Palmer, Our Guy, Jerald, Avid Verse, Tariq Willam,
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: Mike Jackson and Sydney Jones. Now, this core is usually
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: led by Keenan Allen. He's one of the best in
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: the game when it comes to running ross the receiver position.
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: Five time Pro Bowler, five one thousand yard seasons and
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: forty eight yard touchdowns. He's been hurt this year. He's
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: been suffering a hamstring injury that happened very first game
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: against the Chargers, so they haven't had him. He might
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: play this week, and if he does play, these guys
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: got to be ready to go. I heard me Bang
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: talking to kJ on kJ show today and he said
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: me Bang said, look, this dude's routes are the crispiest
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: of the crispy. He's not gonna run by you, but
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: he's gonna make you work. So if he is there
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: on Sunday, these guys gotta be ready to go. Now.
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: Mike Williams is another guy you need to look at for.
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: He's a big, big play type of receiver that's four
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: und nine yards on thirty receptions and two touchdowns. When
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: I watched this guy play, I just see, like I mentioned,
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: big play Billy. He will grab the football off the air,
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: he has some run after the catch. He does a
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: little bit of everything. And then our guy and Gerald Everard,
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: he's rocking the seven. He got a visor run right now.
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: Like Gerald Everard, he's he's feeling himself and he's looking
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: pretty good. Man. He has twenty two recess for two
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: forty two and two touchdowns. And then another youngster, Joshua
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: Palmer's right behind him with twenty six two forty in
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: one touchdown. But they're going up against q Tariq might
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: be one of the hottest players in the league right now,
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: and he is playing like a five tackles, one past offending,
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: one interception, and one fumble recovery verse a z. He
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: was the NFC Defensive Player of the Week. Every week.
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: This guy is doing something impressive, something to make you
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: shake your head and be like, he ain't no rookie.
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: I mean he leaves the NFL in interceptions, Like think
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: about that, this man and two interceptions in college. He's
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: barely played the position. I mean, we can say this
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: over and over again, but every time you say it's
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: it's it blows your mind because that should not be
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: happening at this level, the highest level of professional football,
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: and this guy's doing it at that level. Twenty two
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: tackles in the year, four interceptions, five pass defended, two
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: fumble recoveries. When you look at rookie corners, according to
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: Pro Football Focus, highest coverage grade is Tariq willing An
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: eighty four point six. He's doing it. His boy right
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: behind him, though, Kobe Bryan's on that list at seventy
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: seven point three. These guys are just doing it. Kobe's
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: holding his own. He's got four four stomas on the year,
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: which lead the National Football League. He's also got three
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: in consecutive games. So these dudes are doing it and
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: I love watching them, and they're gonna have their hands full. Obviously.
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: If Keenan Allen wants to take another week off, you know,
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: get right saying the tub he's got it right. I'm
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: not gonna be mad at him. You know what I'm saying,
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: Take care of your body, stay off the field. If
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: he is there, it's definitely gonna be It's gonna be
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: a tough matchup for those guys, but they're they're with
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: a challenge. Man. They've they've been doing everything they can
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: all year, so love to see that. Now. The other
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: matchup we're looking at this is gonna be. This man's
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: a problem. You mentioned it earlier in the podcast. Khalil
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: Mack taking on the Seahawks rookie tackles, Abe Lucas and
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: Charles Cross. Khalil Mack Man, he's been in the league
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: a minute, but he's still one of the premier pass
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: rushers in the league. He's number two right now in
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: the NFL and sacks with six, he is fifth in
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: the NFL and TFLs with seven. His resume over time,
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: three time first team All Pro, six time Pro Bowler,
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: eighty two and a half sacks, four hundred ninety tackles,
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: one hundred and ten TFLs, a AP Defensive Player of
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: the Year in twenty sixteen. So Kalil can still play,
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: and he's not gonna stay on one side of the field.
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: He's gonna move around a little bit. He's still gotta burst.
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: He can beat you with a bull rush, he can
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: get around you, you can spend, he can do it all.
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: So these rookies are going to be tested on Sunday,
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: for sure, but they've held their own, just like this
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: entire rookie class has done all season. Long. Cross and
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: Lucas have only allowed five sacks combined in two hundred
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: and twenty seven true passing situations and drop back according
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: to Pro Football Focus. So those boys are gonna have
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: to come with it. But it's gonna be a matchup
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: that you're gonna love to watch. And the way Gino's
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: got things going, you're gonna want to know where fifty
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: two's at every single step. Yeah, it's gonna be a challenge,
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: but I think at this point they're still rookies, but
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: they're not brand new. They're not fresh off the box
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: no more. You know what I'm saying. They got some blooded,
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: sweat and tears on this team so far, so I'll
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: be looking at that. Another one. We're looking at ken
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: Walker versus to Charges front seven. Last week he had
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: ninety seven yards on twenty one carries in a touchdown.
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: I think that impressed me most about last week is
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: just that the twenty one carries, like this guy is
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: a rookie and they didn't eat them in They and say, Okay,
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: we're gonna mix in some DJ Dallas, which I thought
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: they were gonna do. DJ had two carries, but they say, no,
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: we're gonna do your thing. On the year, he has
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: forty four carries two hundred forty three yards and two touchdowns,
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: and he's made the most out of his opportunities. He
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: makes guys miss And I heard somebody in the Seahawk
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: camp compare this dude to Barry Sanders, and I'm my man,
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: don't do that to my dude, Like, come on, that's Barry.
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: But he got some wiggle like he is an elusive back.
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: He needs one hundred twenty five yards to pass Kurt
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: Warner for third place for the most yards and franchise history,
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: and a player's first two starts with two hundred and
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: twenty two, so he's already making his mark on this franchise.
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: The Seahawks have the eleventh rank rushing attack with one
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: hundred and twenty four yards per game. It started with
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: Rashad Penny, and this young man is going to keep
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: the good times rolling the charges of twenty third averaging
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: one hundred giving up one hundred twenty five yards per game.
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: So it's right there for him, right, he's in his group.
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: We know he's gonna get touches. You're playing against the
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: team that gives up a lot of yards. Yeah, Ken Walker, Mike,
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: I mean I got nothing. I got nothing else to say.
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: As we were calling on postgame show, K nine out
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: there doing his thing. I'm not gonna I'm not gonna
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: do the barking stuff that Turbo was doing. I'll spare
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: everybody that, but no Walkers. He's a man. I think
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: you hit the nail on the head when you said
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: they're not gonna ease him into it, Pete said last week,
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: and the game plan showed it. Twenty one carries, He's
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: shown that he can carry that load. And if he
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: can continue to do that, and if he's at twenty carries,
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: that's a great sweet spot because that means where the
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: game plan is going, well, we're getting a little run,
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: a little pass, or have their balance. So hopeing Ken
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: Walker ass another big game down at SO five Stadium.
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: And this isn't really a matchup bump, but this is
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: something that needs to be corrected. Penalties. Seahawks are number
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: two in the NFL and penalties. When I looked at
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: up but I was like, dang, They've been penalized fifty
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: times for four hundred and thirty five yards. Only the
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: Broncos have been penalized more by comparison to Rams have
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: been penalized the least amount of times this year, twenty
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: four times for two hundred and five yards. So definitely
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: a part of the game of Seahawks need to clean
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: up and I think if they can do that, good
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: things will have ip in. But but man, tell me
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: how we get this win pat to victory. After forty
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: five waits for the staff, Michael Vickson puts it down.
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: That kick is away and that kick gon it's gun.
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: It's a path to victory. On Hawk Talk. All right,
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: this is how they're gonna get it done. They have
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: to play the defense they played last week, and that
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: starts with the d line. For the first time all year.
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: I felt like they won the line of scrimmage and
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: Clint Hurt Dolls some things up. Man. I saw some stunts.
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: I saw some slants like they weren't just going head
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: up with guys. And I love the rotation that they
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: had over there. They had six different sacks from six
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: different guys. Put pressure on the quarterback when the line
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: of scrimmage as a must. Absolutely, when the line of scrimmage.
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: I love how you said that, because it's true. It
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: felt like to see us have been pushed back in
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: different games out Woods is definitely a guy who's won
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage most of the time. But it
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: was great to see those guys mix it up in there.
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: And then if those guys are doing that, it allows
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: the secondary and the bad guys to take the ball away.
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: Trek Won to Kobe Bryant had app resolutely let that
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: charge with getting the football away from the other team.
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: I want to continue to see them do their thing,
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: but I want to see other guys involved, man, people
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: forgetting Quandre Digs is a ballhawk back there. He's had
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: all those seasons with five interceptions in the row. I
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: want to see Quandre pick one off. I want to
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: see him get involved and he's gonna have his opportunity
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: giving the way Justin Herbert and the Chargers' third ranked
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: passing offense is right now. So definitely want to see
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: those guys get involved. Man. Justin Herbert him boys strow
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: the ball forty two times per game, so there's gonna
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: be many opportunities for Quandre, for Tarique willing to get
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: the ball, for Kobe Bryant to keep doing what he does,
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: and they also got to be better on third down. Man.
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: The Seahawks offense has carried most of the burden this season,
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: but the last two weeks third down has been kind
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: of suspects. So let's get back to doing what we
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: used to see him then. Also, we just mentioned his
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: kid can Walker give him the rock. Let him do it.
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: He's shown he can handle. He's elusive, he can break tackles.
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: Let him work absolutely. Now, last thing, protect you know Smith,
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: you know to clear that Kulmac is dangerous. He's dangerous.
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: So it's up to the Abe, Lucas, Charles Costo, offensive line,
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: Austin blythe keep Guino upright. He got sacked a little
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: to a bit too much last week, so we know
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: that that's gonna be a thing. And when two games
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: in a row Man the Seahawks has not been able
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: to put together a win streak this season. I feel
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: like this is the week against the Chargers. It's gonna
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: be a tough game down there in la At so far,
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: but the Seahawks are going to be ready and we'll
• 26:18
