Speaker 1: for that matchup, we're gonna talking about what happened yesterday,
0:24
Speaker 1: Seahawks beating the Panthers, and yeah, bump it was a
0:26
Speaker 1: slow start. We've seen this kind of script multiple times
0:29
Speaker 1: this year where the Seahawk didn't like the world on
0:31
Speaker 1: firing in the first half, get it done in the
0:32
Speaker 1: second half to a big victory. Six consecutive victory. A
0:36
Speaker 1: couple of things off top. Seahawks are nineteen and five
0:38
Speaker 1: in the last twenty four games, which is first in
0:40
Speaker 1: the NFL, tied a single season franchise record with thirteen wins,
0:44
Speaker 1: tied a franchise record with seven consecutive road wins. They
0:46
Speaker 1: have not allowed one hundred yard rusher in twenty five
0:49
Speaker 1: consecutive games, most in the NFL. And a franchise record.
0:52
Speaker 1: So bump, things are good right now, baby.
0:54
Speaker 2: Things are rolling.
0:55
Speaker 3: Man, all those numbers you just put out there, Lets
0:57
Speaker 3: you know that Mike McDonald, John Snyder and the rest
0:59
Speaker 3: of the gang, they have a philosophy and an approach
1:02
Speaker 3: and it is working. What does it you say? The
1:04
Speaker 3: saying that that you like.
1:05
Speaker 1: From relentless, decisive shocking?
1:07
Speaker 2: There we go. That's that right there.
1:10
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, you're running out of words and we're
1:13
Speaker 1: right where we wanted to be. I've been speaking this
1:15
Speaker 1: in fruition from the week one. You can check the tape, yep.
1:17
Speaker 1: I've been saying this from the first forty nine game
1:19
Speaker 1: throughout the year, trying to manifest it. Well, the Seahawks
1:22
Speaker 1: are there. They're in position to get that one seed,
1:24
Speaker 1: win the division, everything on the line. But the Seahawks
1:27
Speaker 1: did have a great game in Carolina. Let's get into that.
1:29
Speaker 3: What had happened, See what happened was what had happened
1:34
Speaker 3: at first?
1:35
Speaker 1: Was what had happened was on Hawk Talk, This game,
1:39
Speaker 1: like we've i just mentioned earlier, has been a tail
1:41
Speaker 1: two hats. We've seen that much of this year the Seahawks.
1:44
Speaker 1: This game started a little bit defensive battle three punts
1:46
Speaker 1: to start the game. The Hawks would then get on
1:47
Speaker 1: the board with a nine play forty yard drive that
1:49
Speaker 1: ended with a forty eight yard field goal for Jason Myers.
1:52
Speaker 1: That mean to score three zero. Then both teams would
1:54
Speaker 1: punt on the next two drive before the Seahawks will
1:56
Speaker 1: force a turnover on downs. After Panthers will go eleven
1:59
Speaker 1: plays thirty six yard drive but would get stopped short
2:01
Speaker 1: on fourth down.
2:02
Speaker 2: Yeah.
2:02
Speaker 3: Now Carolina would force a fumble Sam Donald's pass attempt
2:05
Speaker 3: on the next drive. Then they would get three points
2:08
Speaker 3: after going just nine yards, easy score for them.
2:10
Speaker 2: That made the score three to three.
2:12
Speaker 3: The Hawks would turn the ball over on downs on
2:14
Speaker 3: then suing drive after Sam Donald was stopped on a
2:17
Speaker 3: QB sneak, which I thought, yeah.
2:19
Speaker 2: Look like you got that one.
2:20
Speaker 3: That was a tough spot, but that would they were
2:22
Speaker 3: going to the tunnel ty three to three.
2:24
Speaker 2: Exciting game so far, three to three, I.
2:27
Speaker 1: Mean, I kind of feeling this is gonna be the game.
2:28
Speaker 1: Ten am started on the road. Carolina's good football team.
2:31
Speaker 1: We were up and down, incredibly inconsistent, but when they're good,
2:34
Speaker 1: they were great. And then they battled to start that
2:36
Speaker 1: game and the Seahawks promising drive to start the second half.
2:39
Speaker 1: Youck thinking, okay, they story to get things going. That
2:41
Speaker 1: ends in disaster. Sam Donald's intercepted by former Seahawks Mike
2:44
Speaker 1: Jackson in the back of the end zone and a
2:45
Speaker 1: pass intended for JSN.
2:47
Speaker 3: But the Seahawks defense would come a big on the
2:49
Speaker 3: next play DeMarcus Lawrence. If you watch the film, he
2:53
Speaker 3: gets too far off Phiel running back, runs by him,
2:56
Speaker 3: turns around and just punches the ball out with precisions
3:00
Speaker 3: and Hubbard dropped that famous Six plays later, the Seahawks
3:03
Speaker 3: find the end zone with a two yard touchdown by
3:05
Speaker 3: Zach Sharbone that made the score ten to three. On
3:08
Speaker 3: the next possession, the Seahawks defense will come up big again.
3:11
Speaker 2: Jay love Man dropping and held.
3:12
Speaker 3: A flat reading the eyes with an interception and you
3:16
Speaker 3: start to feel things start to roll.
3:18
Speaker 1: Yeah, this defense is the spark plug for this comeback
3:21
Speaker 1: or this turnaround this game. Other games has been a
3:23
Speaker 1: special team. Sometimes it's been the offense. On Sunday, it
3:25
Speaker 1: was a defense jump starting and going back to d
3:27
Speaker 1: law that's teach tape. Yeah, okay, you might have got
3:30
Speaker 1: a minus on the first part of the play. But
3:31
Speaker 1: you finished it. The finish was definitely a plus plus
3:34
Speaker 1: doing his thing, Jay lev those turnovers setting things up
3:37
Speaker 1: after that, we'll break down that play about Julian Love
3:39
Speaker 1: a little bit later. Seahawks capitalized four plays later with
3:42
Speaker 1: a seventeen yard touchdown reception by a J. Barner who's
3:44
Speaker 1: having a career year love AJ Barner everything he's doing.
3:47
Speaker 3: That made the score seventeen to three. And now the Panthers,
3:50
Speaker 3: they will respond with their best drive of the day.
3:52
Speaker 3: They go thirteen plays, sixty nine yards anyway, a ten
3:55
Speaker 3: yard touchdown scramble from Bryce Young that made the score
3:58
Speaker 3: seventeen to ten. This he also to answer, what fourteen
4:00
Speaker 3: play fifty five yard drive that lasted eight minutes anyway,
4:03
Speaker 3: the Jason myersfield will extending the lead to ten.
4:07
Speaker 1: Seahawks will put a bow on this thing though, force
4:09
Speaker 1: another turnover on downs with a five play twenty five
4:11
Speaker 1: yard drive any with a one yeard touchdown round by
4:13
Speaker 1: Zach Scharbaday. That's what he does. He makes touchdowns in
4:15
Speaker 1: the end zone. That made the score twenty seven to ten.
4:18
Speaker 1: And that was all she wrote. Wasn't the prettiest win.
4:21
Speaker 1: We'll say that until it doesn't matter though. Seventeen point
4:23
Speaker 1: victory in the NFL and setting up everything you need
4:26
Speaker 1: to play for.
4:27
Speaker 3: To me, it was a pretty win. It's just different
4:29
Speaker 3: kind of pretty, you know what I mean. The defense
4:31
Speaker 3: has been It's crazy because the offense the eighth scoring
4:35
Speaker 3: offense or overall offense second when it comes to scoring.
4:37
Speaker 3: But the defense, I feel like, is the identity of
4:39
Speaker 3: this football team. So if you're a defensive guy, you
4:41
Speaker 3: look at this game and say, yeah, actually, it was
4:44
Speaker 3: sixteen passing yards in the first half. Come, I've never
4:46
Speaker 3: seen that before. I've never seen that. I coached JV
4:48
Speaker 3: football at one point, I've never seen sixteen passing yards
4:52
Speaker 3: in the in the first half.
4:53
Speaker 1: You can fall into sixteen yards over the game. I mean,
4:56
Speaker 1: it's insane. And you're right. And the Seahawks, while it
4:59
Speaker 1: was a slow start offense, they ended up scoring on
5:01
Speaker 1: four straight possessions because of this defense you've mentioned. It's
5:04
Speaker 1: really simple. Beats the forty nine ers next week. You're
5:06
Speaker 1: not only winning the West, you're not only the number
5:09
Speaker 1: one seed, but you also get a first run by
5:10
Speaker 1: So everything is in front of you. Things are as
5:12
Speaker 1: good as they've been, and I'm excited Man, I'm excited.
5:15
Speaker 1: There's a lot on the line bump After watching the game,
5:18
Speaker 1: is there anything different that you learned about this team
5:20
Speaker 1: at this point? We've seen in a lot of football,
5:22
Speaker 1: this twenty twenty five version. Was there anything else that
5:24
Speaker 1: you could have learned from that game on Sunday?
5:26
Speaker 3: I learned that the linemen are taking a step forward.
5:29
Speaker 3: I also learned that Josh Jones will hustle his butt off. Man,
5:32
Speaker 3: there was a run that Zach Scharvion ain't made. He's
5:35
Speaker 3: on the left side, it's his own right. He hustles
5:38
Speaker 3: all the way to the right side, past the wide receivers,
5:41
Speaker 3: clips a guy that helped Zach sharbon it gets It's
5:43
Speaker 3: just the effort that I saw from this office in
5:46
Speaker 3: line like they're getting better. The offensive line is getting better.
5:48
Speaker 3: So I learned that there's still room to grow. And
5:50
Speaker 3: we got one more week left in the regular season. Yeah,
5:53
Speaker 3: that's building off of what we saw in the Rams game.
5:54
Speaker 3: That first play, I believe was that screen where Greys
5:56
Speaker 3: Abels getting out there running.
5:58
Speaker 1: These guys are running to the football. This team just again,
6:00
Speaker 1: I don't know if I've learned it. It's just confirming
6:02
Speaker 1: in at this point. Yeah, they can win in all
6:04
Speaker 1: three phases of the game. Those translate to teams that
6:07
Speaker 1: do big things in January. If you don't have your
6:09
Speaker 1: fastball in this side, someone picks each other up. That's
6:11
Speaker 1: what happens. Hopefully you know you lose Rashi Shahid, that's
6:14
Speaker 1: a big bummer. Even if he doesn't play against forty
6:16
Speaker 1: nine ers. Other people are stepping up helping things go
6:19
Speaker 1: and uh yeah, so it was a fun game there
6:21
Speaker 1: On Sunday. Let's get into playmakers. A lot of people
6:23
Speaker 1: making plays. Touchdom playmakers to down what time it is? Ho, wait,
6:34
Speaker 1: can Zach Sharbney? Crazy thing about this team. You never
6:39
Speaker 1: know which running back's gonna go off on a given day,
6:41
Speaker 1: as it can. This week is Zach? The next week?
6:43
Speaker 1: Back and forth. It was Zach's turn on Sunday, eighteen
6:46
Speaker 1: carries for one hundred and ten yards to touchdown, just
6:48
Speaker 1: a second hundred yard game of his career in the
6:50
Speaker 1: first since Week fourteen against Arizona last season. Sharbonney also
6:54
Speaker 1: became the first Seahawks player since Mars Shawn Lynch twenty
6:57
Speaker 1: fourteen to record double digit rushing touchdown in the season.
7:00
Speaker 1: Anytime you're on the list with Marshon Lynch. You're doing
7:02
Speaker 1: good things. So good to see Zach Charbonnet have a
7:04
Speaker 1: day that he did.
7:05
Speaker 3: Yeah, Man eleven had two big runs of twenty plus
7:08
Speaker 3: out there. Really move the ball, got things going big
7:11
Speaker 3: up to the old line too.
7:12
Speaker 4: Man.
7:12
Speaker 3: They were creating lanes for this young man, but he
7:14
Speaker 3: was doing it. JSN had himself another good day. Nine reception,
7:18
Speaker 3: seventy two yards. He became the third player in NFL
7:21
Speaker 3: history with twenty three that's twenty three years or younger
7:24
Speaker 3: with at least seventeen hundred receiving yards in a single season,
7:26
Speaker 3: joining Isaac Bruce and Justin Jefferson. He didn't have the
7:30
Speaker 3: crazy numbers, but he still made several clutch catches in
7:33
Speaker 3: the second half and even drew up an important face
7:35
Speaker 3: mass should have two face masks, Yeah, we got one
7:38
Speaker 3: that is senator drives and helped the Seahogs go up
7:40
Speaker 3: two scores on the fourth quarter.
7:41
Speaker 2: Solid day by the best in the game.
7:43
Speaker 1: Yeah, doing what he does. Nothing nothing, We haven't seen nothing,
7:46
Speaker 1: rock see moving in the future. Been our quarterback. Sam
7:48
Speaker 1: Darnold eighteen to twenty seven, one hundred and forty seven yards,
7:51
Speaker 1: one touchdown, win, interception. Not his best game statistically, but
7:55
Speaker 1: made some big throws down the stretch of the end
7:56
Speaker 1: of the game, and he's he's just playing consistent when
7:59
Speaker 1: he's confident and he's ripped the ball in there and
8:00
Speaker 1: he's standing there under pressure. That's exactly what you need
8:02
Speaker 1: to see from Sam. He does not need to throw
8:04
Speaker 1: for four hundred yards fort win the football game. He
8:06
Speaker 1: does need to take care of the football and do
8:08
Speaker 1: what has been doing the second half of these games.
8:09
Speaker 1: So love what we're seeing from him there.
8:11
Speaker 3: We had a segment and the question is Sam Darnold
8:15
Speaker 3: is blank? And I said, good enough, good enough for
8:18
Speaker 3: this team to do everything that they want to do.
8:21
Speaker 3: So keep playing solid. Sam got Aj Barner three receptions
8:24
Speaker 3: for forty three yards, one touchdown and one barn Stump.
8:27
Speaker 3: Love to see him. He's already set career highs in
8:29
Speaker 3: receptions with fifty yards five O five and.
8:31
Speaker 2: Touchdowns with six.
8:33
Speaker 3: He is slowly becoming one of the better tight ends
8:36
Speaker 3: in the game. And I think that maybe if he
8:38
Speaker 3: was in a different offense where the tight ends were
8:40
Speaker 3: the focal point, his numbers would be even higher than this.
8:43
Speaker 3: But I love the progression from Aj barn and he
8:46
Speaker 3: brings an attitude in the swag to this team that
8:49
Speaker 3: no one else does. Everyone has their own thing, all right,
8:50
Speaker 3: Jason has a swag, but his is a bit different.
8:53
Speaker 1: I love it, yeah, no, and it's right off top.
8:55
Speaker 1: I think if you look back at Aj Barter is
8:56
Speaker 1: miked up from week one, look back at it. Our
8:59
Speaker 1: team does a great job editing that thing. But he's like, hey,
9:01
Speaker 1: welcome to the barn show. Welcome to the bleeping show.
9:03
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. And he just has that
9:04
Speaker 1: swag and he's had it from day one, and it's
9:06
Speaker 1: infectious in that tight end room. So bubble received from
9:09
Speaker 1: Aj Barner there. Then Jay Love Man of the Year nominee,
9:13
Speaker 1: doing his thing on and off the field on Sunday.
9:15
Speaker 1: Six tackles, one interception, one pass defended, his first interception
9:19
Speaker 1: of twenty twenty five. We're gonna break down that plane
9:21
Speaker 1: a little bit. But Jay Love, again, he's so valuable
9:24
Speaker 1: to this defense. He's an e racer, he's someone you
9:26
Speaker 1: can trust. He's one of the smartest football players Sehawks
9:28
Speaker 1: have on the defensive side of the ball, which is
9:30
Speaker 1: saying a lot considering the guys in that room. So
9:32
Speaker 1: when he's playing like that and he hasn't had a
9:34
Speaker 1: lot of work. I think I mentioned you at halftime.
9:35
Speaker 1: I'm like, we haven't heard twenty's name very often because
9:38
Speaker 1: they weren't challenging him. I meanoo, they had sixteen yorks
9:40
Speaker 1: passing in the third quarters. Yeah, doing some good things.
9:42
Speaker 3: He did his he did is Kobe Bryant last game
9:46
Speaker 3: because usually Jay Love is the one over the top, right,
9:49
Speaker 3: you walk Kobe down into the box. With Kobe being out,
9:51
Speaker 3: they say, you know, I just put Akata over the top,
9:53
Speaker 3: bring Jay Love down, and he's been causing having man.
9:56
Speaker 3: You got DeMarcus Lawrence six tackles, one sack, one TfL
9:59
Speaker 3: one quarterback. Kid, he might be having a low key
10:01
Speaker 3: in all pro type of season. We already know he's
10:03
Speaker 3: a pro bowler, but he might be having all pro
10:05
Speaker 3: type of season. He's been in this league over a
10:07
Speaker 3: decade and he's still playing like a young man out there.
10:09
Speaker 1: Oh, no question about it. I think if you look,
10:11
Speaker 1: I think if you pulled offensive lineman throughout the league,
10:14
Speaker 1: they would say, yeah, Zero is a dog.
10:16
Speaker 3: Yeah he's a dog. The defense as a whole healthy
10:18
Speaker 3: Panthers ten points. They were one for eleven or third downs,
10:21
Speaker 3: one hundred and thirty nine total yards, two point seventy
10:24
Speaker 3: yards per play, ridiculous one point five yards per pass held.
10:28
Speaker 3: Brice Young to have fifty four passing yards three point
10:31
Speaker 3: eight yards per carry on the ground forced two clutch
10:33
Speaker 3: turnovers changed the game.
10:35
Speaker 2: The longest play for the Panthers was eleven yards.
10:38
Speaker 1: That is insane.
10:39
Speaker 2: It's crazy.
10:40
Speaker 1: I don't care who you are playing. Yeah, and I
10:42
Speaker 1: just want to set the record straight about this real
10:43
Speaker 1: quick though. So a lot of people like, wow, that's
10:45
Speaker 1: not that impressive. You're just playing the Carolina Panthers. Beyond
10:48
Speaker 1: the fact that they're an NFL team and they've beaten
10:50
Speaker 1: the Rams and they've done some good things. Let me
10:52
Speaker 1: let's talk about that Rams game they had. I just
10:54
Speaker 1: I just looked this up right before it came in
10:55
Speaker 1: here for context. Against the Rams. We think they have
10:57
Speaker 1: pretty good defense, some good players. They had three hundred
11:01
Speaker 1: and fifty eight total yards against the Rams, one hundred
11:03
Speaker 1: and ninety four passing, one hundred and sixty four rushing.
11:05
Speaker 1: They're seven and fifteen on third down. They averaged five
11:08
Speaker 1: point eight yards of play, eight point eight yards per pass,
11:11
Speaker 1: four point one yards per rush. They had plays of
11:14
Speaker 1: forty three, thirty five, thirty three, and thirteen. They had
11:17
Speaker 1: run plays of twenty four, seventeen and ten. That was
11:20
Speaker 1: against the Rams. So this wasn't just something where like, no,
11:23
Speaker 1: the Panthers are a bad team, blah blah blah, they're
11:25
Speaker 1: got probably going to be a playoff team. Yeah, and
11:27
Speaker 1: they did their thing against a really good Rams team.
11:30
Speaker 1: That just more respect what the Seahawks are doing.
11:32
Speaker 3: Yeah, for sure, thank you for for clarifying that. Yeah,
11:34
Speaker 3: you know, I decided to get that off my chest.
11:35
Speaker 2: I got you.
11:36
Speaker 3: I gotta talk about these receivers wide receive a round up.
11:38
Speaker 3: We got JSM with nine catches for seventy two. AJ
11:42
Speaker 3: Berner had three for forty three in a touchdown. Zach
11:44
Speaker 3: Sharpne had two for twelve or she'd had a reception.
11:46
Speaker 3: Cooper Cup had a reception. The things that Cooper Cup
11:49
Speaker 3: is doing without the football is going unnoticed and it
11:53
Speaker 3: shouldn't be. He's a real dog out there. Kanon had
11:56
Speaker 3: two as well. Overall one hundred and forty seven yards
11:58
Speaker 3: in one touchdown for that group.
12:00
Speaker 1: Yeah, you mentioned it. Everyone's doing their part and doesn't
12:04
Speaker 1: always look you know, the most in terms of receiving yards,
12:07
Speaker 1: but everyone doing their thing. Level we're seeing from that unit.
12:10
Speaker 1: Let's little it over it. What's become our favorite segment
12:12
Speaker 1: plays of the game. I've been teasing it all show.
12:15
Speaker 1: Julie Love intercepts Bryce Young in a third quarter.
12:18
Speaker 5: Here's a third and four for Young. Out of the
12:21
Speaker 5: shotgun Hubbard in the backfield. Young has time, gonna let
12:24
Speaker 5: it fly, got.
12:25
Speaker 2: Him man out there.
12:25
Speaker 1: It's intercepted. Turning up feelings.
12:28
Speaker 6: Julian Love forty five, forty down the far sidelines, thirty
12:31
Speaker 6: knocked out of bounds, ball comes out.
12:35
Speaker 2: I think he was out of bounds when he was hitting.
12:37
Speaker 6: Cough the ball up the ball.
12:39
Speaker 4: Something's on the ball today as nobody's able to hang
12:42
Speaker 4: on to it. But it is gonna be Seahawks ball
12:44
Speaker 4: after the pick and Seattle's gonna have the ball inside
12:48
Speaker 4: the Carolina thirty. The second straight takeaway by the Seattle defense.
12:54
Speaker 2: All right, well we got we got tyo Katta, we got
12:56
Speaker 2: a one high safety. Look.
12:57
Speaker 3: Jay Love has walked down into the box. It looks
12:59
Speaker 3: like it's going to be turned into a cover three match.
13:02
Speaker 3: You got Reek walling down at the bottom. He has
13:04
Speaker 3: deep thirds turns into man, you got who's that corner
13:07
Speaker 3: up top?
13:07
Speaker 2: Over there?
13:09
Speaker 3: Who is that spoon up top? Spoon up top? Right,
13:11
Speaker 3: he turns into a cover three. He's turning to running,
13:13
Speaker 3: but let's focus on Jay Love. So Jay Love has
13:15
Speaker 3: a flat, has a flat area, and the running back
13:18
Speaker 3: swings to the right side, so that makes him respect
13:20
Speaker 3: that flat. He realized, look, the running back is not
13:22
Speaker 3: going to go anywhere, So now I'm gonna look at
13:24
Speaker 3: the eyes of the quarterback. Your slot receiver, I believe
13:27
Speaker 3: that is uh Tedoro McMillan runs like a kind of
13:30
Speaker 3: like a double move.
13:31
Speaker 2: Right. He's expecting that that.
13:33
Speaker 3: Route on the outside to clear the corner because he's
13:35
Speaker 3: going vertically.
13:36
Speaker 2: So he's thinking, all right, a little double move.
13:37
Speaker 3: I'm gonna stutter then going to occupy the space in
13:40
Speaker 3: between Spoon and Jay Love because that swing should occupy
13:44
Speaker 3: Jay Love in the flat, which it does.
13:46
Speaker 2: But Jay Love is a veteran. He gets his responsibilities, reads.
13:49
Speaker 3: The eyes of the quarterback, and now seaball, get ball,
13:52
Speaker 3: attack it out the air. He does exactly that simple
13:55
Speaker 3: little cover three, but just a savvy move by a
13:58
Speaker 3: veteran reading the eyes of a young quarder back.
14:00
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is teach tape for everyone doing it. First
14:02
Speaker 1: of all, I love about Jay Love Boom. Look at
14:04
Speaker 1: his first couple steps getting out to the flat. When
14:06
Speaker 1: you talk about buzzing the flat or buzzing one or
14:08
Speaker 1: whatever terminology use in your defense, that's how you get
14:11
Speaker 1: out there. And like you said, he looks at the
14:12
Speaker 1: running back. Okay, I can rally and make that play.
14:15
Speaker 1: Jay Love's an eraser. He's a great tackler. He knows
14:17
Speaker 1: he can make that play. But I'm gonna look at
14:19
Speaker 1: the young quarterback. And McMillan runs almost like a delayed
14:22
Speaker 1: wheel almost. He kind of tries to lull you to
14:25
Speaker 1: sleep then a little. It's a great actually, I love
14:27
Speaker 1: the concept. Yeah, but Jay Love just plays it better.
14:30
Speaker 1: And everyone does their job on this play Week one.
14:31
Speaker 1: On the backside, he's locked in, Nicki min Warri. He's
14:34
Speaker 1: got the tight end. If he releases, everyone's doing their things,
14:36
Speaker 1: Spoon says over the top of Jay Love again does
14:38
Speaker 1: a great job finding work. His responsibility is a flat,
14:41
Speaker 1: but he goes above and beyond and sinks gets depth.
14:44
Speaker 1: Looks at the quarterback. Okay, if I have nothing there,
14:46
Speaker 1: I'm gonna make a play. He does it. Reads a
14:48
Speaker 1: qb rest is history twenty. That's why you are who
14:51
Speaker 1: you are. Make him plays all right. Our next play
14:54
Speaker 1: we're gonna look at. That was Sam Darnold finding a J.
14:57
Speaker 1: Barner for a seventeen yard touchdown.
14:59
Speaker 5: Walker back in playfake to him. Sam gets hit as
15:03
Speaker 5: he throws. Paul is caught in your side barner. Five touchdown, Shayhawks.
15:09
Speaker 6: Great job by Sam Darnald as he wheels around on
15:14
Speaker 6: the bootleg right, Hada Man right there, was ready to
15:18
Speaker 6: hit him, but he fires the ball to Barner down
15:20
Speaker 6: near the ten yard line and Aj did the rest,
15:23
Speaker 6: taking it in from seventeen out. The Seahawks capitalize on
15:27
Speaker 6: the takeaway and make it sixteen to three.
15:31
Speaker 3: So this is what happens when you run the ball
15:32
Speaker 3: thirty plus times a game. The influence that it has
15:35
Speaker 3: on the defense is crazy right here, and I love it.
15:38
Speaker 3: This is a clear running formation, right, you got oots in,
15:41
Speaker 3: you got Aj to the left, your sliding oops to
15:44
Speaker 3: the left side. And this is probably the best playfake
15:47
Speaker 3: I've seen from Sam Darnold. Like, the technique here is beautiful.
15:50
Speaker 3: It's almost like Aaron Rodgers back in the hey day.
15:53
Speaker 3: Then you look at the offensive line. You got Anthony
15:55
Speaker 3: Bradford pulling. It tells the defense. You got Anthony Bradford pulling.
15:58
Speaker 3: You got the full back take karity, and you got
16:01
Speaker 3: Aj selling the block down. Everything says this is going
16:04
Speaker 3: to be a run. He just look at the second level.
16:06
Speaker 3: All the backers are flying up trying to make a play.
16:08
Speaker 3: You're at the mesh to it. So now you're rolling
16:11
Speaker 3: out to your right side. I think Sam Donald does
16:12
Speaker 3: a good job handling that pressure. He was expecting that
16:14
Speaker 3: end to be influenced by the run, but he wasn't.
16:16
Speaker 3: So now you got to make some plays. Now let's
16:18
Speaker 3: focus on Aj Barner. He blocks down, sells the run,
16:22
Speaker 3: and now he has hits the flats right. Sam Donald
16:25
Speaker 3: does a good job getting the football out. And let's
16:27
Speaker 3: not forget Cooper Cup. These are the things that Cooper
16:30
Speaker 3: Cup does right. I'm not getting the football, don't you worry.
16:33
Speaker 3: I'm gonna take care of this block for you.
16:34
Speaker 2: Aj. You go ahead and score a touchdown, I'm gonna
16:36
Speaker 2: celebrate with you, Bump.
16:39
Speaker 1: I don't took the words out of my mouth. I
16:40
Speaker 1: think you couldn't have described it any better. That is,
16:43
Speaker 1: without questioning the best playfake I've seen all year. I
16:45
Speaker 1: watched that about twenty times, and I go, I'm looking
16:47
Speaker 1: at the backers. Yeah, I'm thinking the same thing. I
16:49
Speaker 1: see Bradford pull my tight end. My eyes go off
16:51
Speaker 1: the tight end because he's blocking down. Even Cooper Cup's
16:54
Speaker 1: first couple steps, he doesn't make it illegal block, but
16:56
Speaker 1: he goes at the linebacker almost like he's gonna block.
17:00
Speaker 1: Everything about this says run and I'm telling you that playfake.
17:03
Speaker 1: I would teach that all day. Little that is unreal.
17:05
Speaker 1: If your eyes are in the backfield, you're in trouble.
17:09
Speaker 1: And then Donald, he said, does a great job. He's
17:10
Speaker 1: got pressure in his face from the DN on that side.
17:12
Speaker 1: They run a little boot kind of flood concept. You
17:15
Speaker 1: have something short, some of the intermediate, something deep. Barner
17:18
Speaker 1: and Cupp are wide open on this play, but you
17:20
Speaker 1: find Barner, probably because Sam Donald has pressure there so
17:23
Speaker 1: he gets it out right away. You find Barner there,
17:25
Speaker 1: and you mentioned it, Cooper cut blocks. Jason is also
17:27
Speaker 1: blocking in the back of the end zone. And now
17:29
Speaker 1: who do you have left? The only person you can
17:31
Speaker 1: make this play is a backside corner. That's Mike Jackson,
17:33
Speaker 1: who flows over. But it's too late, Barnar gets going
17:36
Speaker 1: on his horse, he's in the end zone, and then
17:38
Speaker 1: we get our favorite celebration, a little barnstop action, and again,
17:42
Speaker 1: everybody did their job. This is amazing. This is what
17:45
Speaker 1: they need to replicate. And I don't care what the
17:47
Speaker 1: numbers say. I don't care what analytics say. Bump when
17:50
Speaker 1: you run the football that has influenced Maybe it doesn't
17:52
Speaker 1: show up in some of the numbers, but I'm telling you,
17:54
Speaker 1: if the Seahawks don't run the ball the way they do,
17:56
Speaker 1: you are not influenced that way from the second level.
17:59
Speaker 1: So great stuff. That's exactly what you want to see
18:02
Speaker 1: from this Seahawk team. That sets up our favorite formation
18:05
Speaker 1: in football, the victory formation.
18:08
Speaker 6: Here comes the Seahawks offense onto the field and the
18:11
Speaker 6: Vikings defense trutching out there knowing that one kneel down
18:17
Speaker 6: and the Seahawks are gonna line the clock down.
18:19
Speaker 4: And win this one.
18:20
Speaker 1: It's the victory formation on Hawk Talk Tail. Two halfs.
18:24
Speaker 1: Like we said, the Seahogs come out and dominating that
18:27
Speaker 1: third quarter, get things changed. Seahawks outscored the Panthers twenty
18:30
Speaker 1: four to seven, and this game played out like lots
18:33
Speaker 1: of games we've seen this year the Seahawks slow start
18:35
Speaker 1: and its belts to you know what in the second
18:37
Speaker 1: half because that's what the Seahawks team does. The defense
18:40
Speaker 1: really turned the tide for two clutch turnovers. Offense took
18:44
Speaker 1: advantage of that, scoring four straight possessions.
18:46
Speaker 3: Yeah, there were no explosive plays, man. The defense took
18:49
Speaker 3: care that. Longest pass play was eleven longest run was
18:51
Speaker 3: eight yards. They took care of that. But that's what
18:54
Speaker 3: they do, right, They've played out of their minds. They
18:57
Speaker 3: it was a bounce back from the Rams, right. They
18:59
Speaker 3: get them at five to eighty one against the Rams.
19:01
Speaker 3: Franchise records still have big moments, but you want to
19:04
Speaker 3: see a dominant performance like this following that performance with
19:07
Speaker 3: the Rams. In the offense, they weren't amazing, but they
19:09
Speaker 3: took advantage of short fields.
19:11
Speaker 2: I believe they had a score of.
19:12
Speaker 3: Twenty one yards twenty five something like that, and that's
19:15
Speaker 3: what you're supposed to do defense, as Look, we give
19:16
Speaker 3: you a short field, we need six points.
19:19
Speaker 1: And then I love this one hundred yard rusher again,
19:21
Speaker 1: Zach Sharberney. That's a second game in a row. The
19:23
Speaker 1: seas about one hundred yard Rusher Bom. That has not
19:26
Speaker 1: happened since Ken Walker closed out his rookie year with
19:28
Speaker 1: three straight one hundredyard games in twenty twenty twenty two.
19:31
Speaker 1: It's been a while. You want to stop turning the
19:33
Speaker 1: ball over, but this Seahawks team has showed you each
19:37
Speaker 1: and every week. And now, what else would you looking
19:40
Speaker 1: for here?
19:40
Speaker 2: Bom?
19:41
Speaker 1: What else do you play for? But moments like this again,
19:42
Speaker 1: San Francisco, coach.
19:43
Speaker 3: Come on and it's all set up. You took care
19:45
Speaker 3: of the I wouldn't call my little homies.
19:47
Speaker 2: You know they're there.
19:48
Speaker 3: They were a formidable opponents, but you took care of
19:51
Speaker 3: them to get to this moment. Saturday Primetime Football, let's
19:54
Speaker 3: get it.
