  Speaker 1: What Up? This is Hawk Talk preview edition Wildcard Playoffs. Baby,
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: let's get in. The Seahawks take on the rounds for
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: the third time this season, but this time it is
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: when or go home. Before we get into the specifics,
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: here is Nasa Choby with the injury of days Banks Bumble.
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: Definitely some things we'll be watching very closely this week.
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: The big one starts with safety Jamal Adams. Last Sunday,
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: he left with a shoulder injury and looked pretty disa
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: pointed on the sideline. Here's what head coach Pete Carroll
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: had to say regarding his status for Saturday. Well, he's
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: gonna he's gonna work through the way. We can see
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: what he can get done and see if he's okay.
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: We'll have to wait all the way up to the
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: game day, um to figure that out. Jared Reid was
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: also banged up, dealing with a court injury that he
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: suffered on Sunday. He has an oblique strain, is what
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: he has. And I think it came out it was
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: written something else. But um, you know, we're gonna be real,
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: you know, real careful with him during the week and
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: see how he goes on day to day. He's much
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: better than he was on the weekend. So uh, there's
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: cause for you know, optimism there. And on the positive side,
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: the Seahawks activated Brandon Shell from the COVID list and
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: Mike you potty should be back in the lineup on Saturday.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: And finally, for the first time all year, Darryl Taylor
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: made it back to practice with his teammates. Joe, you
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: didn't ask your question, man, Come on, come on, ask
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: what Darrell Taylor. Yes, yes, he's practicing to day. Okay,
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: see you later, all right, all right, before we get

• 2:08
  Speaker 1: or go home Wild Card playoffs. The Rams are up next?
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: Who's next? Who's next? The Los Angeles Rams are next.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: They are ten and six, or were ten and six
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: in the regular season, finished second in the NFC West.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: I feel like we just did this nast What was
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago we talked about these guys.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: Now they are back round three. They've beating some good teams.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: They lost to some sorry teams. They lost to the Jets,
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: but then they beat teams like who they beat as
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: a good Tampa Bay Buccaneers. They just they're a team
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: that is inconsistent. But you see the potential in them, like, yeah,
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: they could be good offensively. We know who they are defensively.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: And last week they beat the Cardinals eighteen to seven
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: and clinched the sixth seed in the NFC playoffs. The
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: themat tricked me out with that game. That defense scored
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: nine points. The defense score nine points. They had a
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: safety and a pick six that went for eighty four yards.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: They're played with a backup quarterback in Walford God from
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: wake Forest, who hadn't seen the field first time playing
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: in the NFL. Got off to a rocky start through
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: an interception, but he seemed to settle down as the
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: game went along. I like that this guy is he's
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: a competitor. You seed it in him. He wants to play,
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: he wants to be out there, but end of the day,
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: you're a backup for a reason. Man, all Right. He
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: was twenty two of thirty eight, two hundred and thirty
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: one yards, zero touchdowns, one interception. But he can run
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: the rock. Yeah, six hairs for fifty six yards. He's
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: not bad, nass, but he's not good enough to beat
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: the Seattle Seahawks if he does play. Yeah, no question
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: about it. I think I watched him and the thing
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: that jumped out of me at film as he mentioned
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: his rushing yards is he he has scrambling ability. He
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: has big playability. There's three different times and third downs
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: where he used his legs to pick up first downs
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: and you mentioned it. He wasn't shook, he wasn't rattled.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: He looked like he should belong even though he looks
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: like a really young kid. He looked like he could
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: be Sean mcvay's younger brother out there. But no, he
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: he looked he looked solid in his first NFL start.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: I mean, I think it's pretty crazy the journey he's
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: been on to get where he got. So, yeah, I
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: think he's a solid quarterback. He's not going to go
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: out there and throw seventeen picks. Is he good enough
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: to beat the Seahawks defense way they're playing, I don't
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: think so. I mean, I think the way Sean mcvay's
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: gonna call games is, you know, he's gonna be out
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: there not to win the game. They got that good
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: defense man, so he kind of a game manager role
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: and he's backed by elite defense. And you mentioned it,
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: those ram defense man nine points. They were all over Arizona.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: I mean, Arizona got shut out for the last fifty
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: five minutes of the game. They only held the two
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: hundred and fourteen yards. But as well as that defense played,
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: I think it's really important to mention Kyler Murray barely
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: played in that game. Yes, Kyler barely played. He had
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: like a leg or ankle injury. Came in late in
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: the game to try to save the game. But we
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: all and all that goes. You gotta stay in a rhythm.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: He was not in a rhythm. Now, this rams defense
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: all right, Hell teams to eighteen point five points per game,
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: in two hundred and eighty one yards per game. We
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: said it before. They got some guys on that side
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: of the football who can get it done. That is
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: the strength of their team. This is the best defense
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: in the league. Now. They held the rookie for Arizona
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: who started Chris Streveler to eleven of sixteen, one hundred
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: and five yards, one touchdown, the one pick. And then
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: after the game, Aerondondald was talking he wants he wants
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: the rematch and he's a competitor, so I appreciate that
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: about him. He better hope that Jared Goffer is playing.
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: I know, I know that. Like I said, the Hawks
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: gonna talk that that that noise, So I'm gonna talking
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: form a bit. They better hope that Jared Goff is
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: playing because I feel like this team is gonna get spot.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: I just look at their heads ahead. Offensively, the Rams
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: are eleventh overall, tenth in rush offense, thirteenth when it
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: comes to throwing the rock, and twenty third when it
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: comes to putting up points. The Seahawks, on the other hand,
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: seventeenth overall, and that crazy the way this season started.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: Now they're down to seventeenth overall offense, twelfth when it
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: comes around the rock, sixteen when we're throwing it in
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: eight points per game, averaging twenty eight point seven. This
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: doesn't feel like a seventeenth rank offense. This is because
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: of what they've done in the past. The last few weeks.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: You can say, oh, they haven't put up a lot
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: of points. I get it, but I feel like they're
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: ready to go. They got that what do you call that,
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: kinetic energy, potential energy. It's right there right, They are
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: ready to go, and I think this is the week
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: where they get back on track. No, they got the juice,
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: and you're right. When I was putting this together, I
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: was like, that's not right. We're not seventeenth. And though
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: I mean for the first six, seven, eight weeks of
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: the year we were looking at we're number one, maybe
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: we were two, maybe we were three. Kind of fluctuation.
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: But you know, we haven't scored a lot of points
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: and gained a lot of yards to last, you know,
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: over the month of the season, when the exception of
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: that Jets game. Yeah, so seventeenth is shocking to look at,
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: but we're this offense is so much better than seventeen.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's with the weapons to Seahawks haf between
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: Russ and DK and Tyler and Carson and hopefully healthy
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: offensive line. I think I think this defense, or excusing
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: this offense is built for the playoffs. I think what
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: the good thing that they've shown this year is they
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: can win any type of way. They can win in
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: the shootout. They can win when their defense can't get
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: to stop and they got to score forty points. They
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: can win when it's a close scoring game and they
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: got to win late. They can win shootouts in between.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: So I'm encouraged by that, despite how they looked at
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: times against the Niners last week when it was winning time,
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: just like they did against the Rams or good in
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: the fourth quarter. So I feel much better about this
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: offense than the statistics show. Same thing about the defense.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: And honestly, for the Seahawks defense, we finished the year
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: at twenty second in total defense, which honestly is amazing
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: considering when they started they were. They weren't only thirty
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: second in like week six or seven, they were thirty
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: second by a large margin, a large so the fact
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: that they climbed up to twenty two. Rust defense has
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: been good all year in number five, past defense never
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: quite recovered from that. They're still thirty first points allowed
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: per game, which was great. They jumped to them halfway
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: through the league, essentially fifteen at twenty three points per game,
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: and the turnover differential it's lower than Pete Carroll would like,
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: considering this program is all about the foot ball. That
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: kind of a stretching there where they weren't turning the
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: ball over as much and the offense had a lot
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: of turnovers. But they're still plus four the Rams, on
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: the other hand, in nineties three. So statistically it looks
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: like the Rams got the edge. But we know how
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: these two teams played last time, you know, if the
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: season's really played out, like so, I like where the
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: Seahawks are at. I like where they're at. I'm gonna
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: talk that talk, but it's gonna be a battle. We
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: know how the games go with the Rams. I don't
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: care who they have that quarterback. They could have Cooper
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: Cup going back to his high school days when he
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: had the Cooper Cub package back in Yakima, when he's
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: playing varsity football. They always find a way to make
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: it interesting. So I think it will be interesting. But
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: it's not how you start, it's how you finish. In
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: this defense as finished on a high note. Let's get
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: this offense going. Now, let's learn about these teams history. No,
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: your history. Well, you guys should be pretty familiar with
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: the history. Considering we've gone out of this the third time,
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: we've kind of revisited, so I'll go through it pretty quick.
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: Seahawks lead the all time series twenty five to twenty.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: Sean mcvay's five and three against Pete Carroll and it's
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: one of five last seven games, but the last one,
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: most importantly was the Seahawks winning to clinch the NFC
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: West just two weeks ago, beating the Rams at Looming
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: Field twenty to nine. Quick refresher on that game, the
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: Rams scored nine points. Jared Goff did what he thought
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: he would. He turned the ball over an inexplicable pass
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: to really only to Condre Digs. The only person could
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: have caught that one. He threw for two hundred and
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: thirty four yards, didn't throw a touchdown, injured, his thumb
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: dislocated it. Props to him. He popped that thing back in,
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: finished the game. Obviously had to have surgery to kind
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: of stabilize that thumb. But in my opinion month, that
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: was the Seahawks best winning twenty twenty. It was the
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: most important game they had to win in all three phases,
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: and then that's exactly what they did. That's what they did,
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: and Hollister got to cap it off with a touchdown
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: to seal the deal. We remember last year he came
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: up just a little bit short of winning the NFC
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: West or the Seattle Seahawks. It's just time to go. Man,
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: love the matchup. I think it's gonna be good. Aaron
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: Donald's going to be healthy, Leonard Floor is ready, Jalen
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: Ramsey is ready. But we got some guys too. Offensive
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: line is gonna get healthy. It sounds like Shell might
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: be ready to go, so we'll have the band will
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: be back together. It is time to go. What's the
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: word in the West and the Seahawks are the NFC
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: West champs again, what's the word in the West on
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: Hawk talk, I'll tell you what the word of the
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: West is. Champs are here. M to see West, champs
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: are here, Wall card round, It's time to go. Hawks
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: finished the season at twelve and four, runs behind him
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: at ten and six and Carlinos or eight and eight,
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: and the San Francisco forty nine ers get out of
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: this thing in six and ten, which is at six
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: and ten is kind of impressive. Now. I know they
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: didn't end the way they wanted to. I know the
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: Hawks is the spies of the forty nineers, but they
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: went through a lot of stuff. And if they were
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: in the NFAC East, they might have a chance to
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: make the playoffs at six and ten him, but this
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: is the West, this is not the East. That ain't
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: gonna be enough to get it done. The Hawks win
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: the West for the first time since sixteen. It feels
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: it feels like it's been a whimp. It's what it's
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: seen A lot was that three seasons ago. But the
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: way things are done out here in Seattle, you used
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: to get them what every other year, maybe you win
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: a division? Yeah, No, I mean for me personally, twenty
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: sixteen feels like forever ago because the following season after
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: that we missed the playoffs for the only time in
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: Russell Wilson's tenure. Twenty eighteen, we lose to Dallas actually
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: that was two years ago. Today bump and the wildcard playoffs,
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: and then the following the last year, you beat Philadelphia
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: and you lose a heartbreaker to Green Bay in the
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: divisional round. So it's it's good for one to win
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: any cust title again because that's what these guys talk
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: about from the beginning of the year is owned the
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: West and it starts there. So it's great to check
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: that off and play and get a home playoff game. Yeah,
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: there's no fans there, but no travel. Get to sleep
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: in your own bed or sleep in the hotel that
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: you you always go to the night before games and
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: stuff like that. So from a comfortability standpoint, and that's
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: great and it keeps you. It gives you a sliver
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: of hope that if you keep winning and maybe in
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: Green Bay or New Orleans gets upset that maybe you
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: host a game further down the road. But right now,
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: we'll talk about this wild card stuff and just kind
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: of recap what happened in the division this year. Right, So,
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: like the Rams, they're back in the playoffs after missing
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: the playoffs last year. Sean mcvays led them in the
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: playoffs three his four seasons in LA. Cardinals missed the
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: playoffs for the fifth consecutive season. So, and obviously you
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: mentioned the Niners. They had a truly awful year when
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: it comes to injuries, I mean absolutely decimated after going
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: to the Super Bowl last season. The bump, here's the lesson.
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: Here is the lesson if you have not been paying
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: attention to us all season. Here's a lesson. It's hard
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: to win in the National Football League. So do not
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: take the seahawks success for granted. The Seahawks has been
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: in the postseason nine of eleven years under Pete Carroll.
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: Of those nine postseason years, the Seahawks have won at
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: least one game in seven of those seasons. Okay, every
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: other team in the NFC West has had at least
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: four or ten lost seasons in that stant. In that span, okay,
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: the Seahawks have just been consistent. Every other team in
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: the NFUSC has been really bad, good, and really bad
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: again in that seems span. The Seahawks been incredibly consistent.
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: So guys, don't get tired of winning, don't get tired
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: of winning. Don't take it for granting. Okay, y'all spoil,
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: that's all they're saying. Y'all spoil, all right, you don't.
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: A lot of teams don't have the success at the
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: hawksab so enjoy it. Okay. Final impressions of the division
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: in twenty twenty. Are the Cardinals and Kyler Murray going
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: to be more legitimate of a contender in twenty twenty one?
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: I think they are, I really do. I think if
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: Murray stays healthy. I think if a couple things happened
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: for him on defense, you see the potential in this
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: Cardinals seem unfortunately they started off five and two. Kyler
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: Murray was an MVP talks number one offense in all
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: the land at some point, but then injuries happened. You
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: start to get scouted, You gotta adjust when it comes
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: to coaching. Things happen. But I think the Cardinals are
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: gonna be a good football team. Will there be another
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: quarterback in San Fran? Will San Fran bounce back? Shanahan
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: is same, He's got his guy and Jimmy Garoppolo he's
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: gonna be good to go. I saw scenario on Instagram.
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: Be careful where you get you information from memes and
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: all that stuff. But I saw a scenario where the
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: Niners trade up for that number three, number four picked,
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: and they pick Justin Fields. If they if they pull
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: something like that off, I think Justin Fields would be
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: a good fifth there. You get rid of Jimmy, you
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: save some money. That's how you win. You build around
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: a young quarterback. I think that would be a good
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: move for them, if that even happens. Everyone's throwing out
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: scenarios right now. I just saw that scenario. It looked
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: pretty fun, so I took some time and reddit. Saturday's
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: game will definitely show who really owns the Western Game three.
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: It will they split their one on one. This is
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: a tiebreaker right here, man, It means a whole lot more.
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: It's winner going home. We know that the Rams are
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: gonna come ready to play. We've seen each other for
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: the third time. It's not like teams are gonna change
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: their scheme and throw out this a crazy concept that
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: we haven't seen all year. You are who you are
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: at this point. You gotta be the team that got
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: you into the playoffs. Will you add wrinkles here and there, Yes,
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: you will, But we all know Cup is gonna get
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: those yards after the catch. We know Woods is gonna
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: be getting on the jet suites. Cam Anchors is healthy
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: this time around. He's gonna get the rock. And we
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: know Aaron Donald and know it is who it is.
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: It's all about who wants it more and who execute
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: out a high level at this point. Yeah. And the
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: thing about it too is like the NFC West titles
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: where it starts right and I'm not gonna downgrade that
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: at all. That's a huge accomplishment has been done in
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: it in four years here in Seattle. But if you
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: lose to the Rams on Sunday that division title, the
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: shine comes completely off it, man, because you lose to
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: a division rival and then you're going home in the
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: Wild Car playoffs and should do worse than we did
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: last year would be incredibly disappointing. So I don't think
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: that's gonna happen. Um, it's just really time to flex
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: up and show that you own the West, you own
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: home field, you own the Luman field, and you're gonna
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: go out there and handle business. Bump, Let's get in
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: these matchups. Man up, who is this man? This man
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: up on Hawk Talk? All right, man up, We're gonna
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: start with the person who's gonna be under center for
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: the Los Angeles Rams. Now, is that gonna be Jared Goffer?
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: Is that gonna be John Wolford. Sean McVay has been
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: very noncommittal about the status of Jared Goff broke. Like
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: I said earlier, he broke his thumb after hitting Ben
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: to Mayo his helmet in week sixteen. He's popped that
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: thing back into place, got surgery to stabilize it. Wolford
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: got his first centifol start last week against the Cardinals.
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: Mcvayh initially said, Hey, this is an injury that's not
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: gonna take golf out for an extended amount of time,
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: but we'll see that'd be really quick comeback if he's
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: able to come back this quick. A couple of season
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: numbers on Golf he threw for almost four thousand yards,
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: twenty touchdowns, twelve picks on the season, fifty one carries
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: for ninety nine yards, so he's not gonna kill you
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: with his legs, but did have four touchdowns on a
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: couple of QB sneaks two different games. Against Seattle, he
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: threw for over three hundred yards the first time, didn't
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: throw a touchdown, but it was a lot more effective.
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: Second game twenty four for forty three, no touchdowns, one pick.
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: So I'm feeling confident either way. I think obviously you know,
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: I mean, say what you wanted by Jared Goff, he
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: absolutely gives him the best chance to win bum But
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: don't sleep on John Woolford because he's going to He's
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: at least going to show up to the table. He's
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: gonna be more elusive. He'll still give them a chance
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: to win. But either way, whoever's lining up a quarterback,
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: you need to make them uncomfortable. You need to turn
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: the ball over and you need to make them one dimensional.
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: We need both of those guys under pressure. Send him,
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: Send him. We'll see what Jamal Adams looks like. We
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: know he's banged up. He's key into applying pressure. But
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: what I did see last when Jamal was out last game,
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: the very next playing, Ryan Neil is in and they
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: send him on a blitz. And Ryan Neil, if we
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: remember he had two games, we had two interceptions, I
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: believe one against Dallas, one against Miami. He's been there.
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: They can plug him in. They probably won't be as aggressive,
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: but they can still get after him. But something tells
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: me Jamal is gonna do whatever he has do to
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: get on that field. Next matchup, Cooper Cup Robert was Verse,
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: Seattle's secondary Cup has ninety two yards excuse me, ninety
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: two receptions, nine hundred and seventy two yards and just
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: three touchdowns, but five hundred and twenty nine yards after
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: they catch when the ball is in his hands, I
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: do special. Man. He's got some wiggle, he's got some burst.
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: The first match up be at five receptions for fifty yards,
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: the second match up be at eight receptions for sixty
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: six yards, and they haven't really utilized him to his
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: full potential. And we're saying that in the man has
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: ninety two catches in nine hundred and seventy two yards,
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: but a guy like him needs to get into the
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: end zone more often. And it seems like as of leet,
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: they haven't really been feed him. So I expect him
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: to highlight him this week. Now. Robert Woods has ninety receptions,
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: nine hundred and thirty six yards, six touchdowns, twenty four
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: carries f one hundred and fifty five yards and two touchdowns.
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: When you get into that red zone, Robert was as
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: their main target. Theyre gonna look at him in jet sweets.
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: They're trying to try to give him the rock in
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: the corners. He's deceptibly fast. He ran a four or
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: five at the NFL Combine, but you watch him on film,
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: he looks like a four or three, four or four guy.
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: The first matchup he had five receptions for thirty three yard.
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: The second matchup he had four sections for forty eight yards.
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: Both guys were kind of held back last game. We
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: didn't we didn't. We didn't get the full dosage of
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: Woods and Cup. And I think going into this game
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: with Walford, what approach they're gonna take. You got a
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: young quarterback. You think they're gonna hand the ball off
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: to cam Akers and Malcolm Brown and Henderson and have
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: them do their thing. But we know how good the
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: Seahawks are against the run. At some point they're gonna
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: have to let this young fellow, if he's in, drop
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: back and throw the rock. And he threw a nice
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: pass Robert Woods last week, a pass he shouldn't have
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: thrown him. But because he's young, and he has these
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: two guys on outside who can get a damn. He's
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: gonna take some chances. If he does take those chances,
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: haws gotta jump all over him. Yeah. No, for I
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: totally agree with that. I think I think as a
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: young quarterback he needs to lean on those two because
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: that kind of propels us into the next matchup Cam
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: Akers and Malcolm Brown. So Henderson got hurt against us
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: A last in Week sixteen and cam Akers last week
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: man he got completely shut down bump twenty one carries
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: for thirty to four yards, and as we know, it's
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: definitely not gonna be good enough against the Seahawks. Like
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: I mentioned, deary Henderson got put on I r if
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: getting hurt against US I'm kind of looking at the
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: season numbers. Acres one hundred forty five carries, six twenty
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: five two toads, Brown one hundred one carries four hundred
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: nineteen yards and five touchdowns, and with the qbas only
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: played one game in the NFL, this is like I
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: want to say this, if not number one, number two,
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: most important matchup, but the afternoon because if you can
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: make these guys one dimensional and make Walford or Goff
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: have to throw at forty times, thirty five times, whatever
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: it is, it's gonna be a long day. And I
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: think it's gonna get ugly. I mean, the Seahawks will
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: stop the run all season long, and yeah, I think
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: they're gonna come out with you know, they run a
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: ton of twelve personnel, a ton of those and when
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: they do pass the ball out of two man routes
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: and stuff like that. But I think they're gonna try
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: to come out and run the ball, and I think
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: if the Seahawks can stop it from then on, it
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: could be a long day for those guys. Stop that run, baby,
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: all right. The next matchup, the most important matchup, Russell
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: Wilson Versu the rams D defense. For the season, Russell
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: is three eighty four for five fifty eight four thousand,
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: two hundred and twelve yards, forty touchdowns, thirteen interceptions, eighty
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: three carries, five hundred and thirteen yards two touchdowns. Now
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: the first time they linked up down in Callie round
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: the Corn around from and Inglewood twenty two for thirty seven,
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: he was two hundred and forty eight yards, no touchdowns,
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: but two interceptions. Two Cruiser interceptions, one fumble. The next
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: MATCHIP twenty for thirty two two hundred twenty five yards,
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: one touchdown, one rushing testdown, zero turnovers. When the Hawks
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: win the turnover battle this year, they are twelve n O.
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: Pete Carroll will let you know he is all about
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: the football, taking care of the football, game after the football.
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: It all starts at Russell Wilson. Man, I'm gonnaknock on
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: wood before I say this, but I don't remember any
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: of our running backs fumbling this year, so it's not
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: like we got issues hold onto the rock when we
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: are running it. There have been a couple of tip
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: passes come out the receiver's hands that cast him interceptions.
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: But end of the day, it comes down to Russell
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: Wilson taking care of the football. And if that means
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: that he has a game like he had last week
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: where he's super cautious, you know, I watched the film.
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: There are a couple of times where he could have
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: taken some shots there DK's open, and the NFL opened
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: means you got one step or half a step on
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: the defender because guys are there, and he's kind of like, no,
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: I'm not gonna take that chance right now, I'm just
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: gonna check down. I'm gonna run the football. If he
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: has that type of game, I'm all good with. The
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: calculated risk taking is what I see out of Russell
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: Wilson right now. And I'm okay with them. Just get
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: to w I don't care what it looks like. Yeah. No,
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: And I'm okay with the two because when you look
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: at the Rams there, we already mentioned that they're the
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: number one defense the NFL, and they have a lot
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: of top ten defensive rankings points per game number one,
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: defensive total yards per game number one, net passing yards
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: per game number one, sacks number two, third down percentage
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: number three, rush yards number three, red zone number four,
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: passing percentage number five, tied for ten, and total takeaways
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: for twenty two. And these Rams defense only a lot
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: of eight second half touchdowns all season all season. But
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: you know what, bump two of them came again to
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: Seahawk in Week sixteen. So Russell's gonna have his work
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: cut out for him. As we know, the Rams play
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: the Seahawks so well. Young defensive coordinator Brandon Stanley is
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: having those guys playing some unbelievable football to the point
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: where he's even on a short list of head coaching jobs,
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: which is unbelievable. Crazy rise throughout the coaching rank considering
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: he's coaching Division three football like six seven years ago,
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: which is unbelievable. There, but no, Russell's gonna have to
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: come with it. Take care of the football and we
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: win this game. But bump beyond just the ram defense,
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: if we just focus on that front line, they gotta
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: worry about Aaron Donald and Leonard Floyd. Yeah, talk to him. Yeah,
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: those guys are some special, some special man. Aaron Donald
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: thirteen and a half sacks, forty five tackles, nineteen tackles
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: for a loss. His second teammate and well teammate closer
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: than him, has twelve and a half, and he has
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: four force fumbles. You just look at this dude. Man,
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: I'm watching filming this guy and he'll slant to the
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: ride gibbs, spin moved different ribb. Get to the quarterback,
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: he'll bull rush you go straight up, just go right threugh.
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: You get to the quarterback, he'll line up at the
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: five technique. That means outside of the tackle boom, get
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: to the quarterback. He's versatile. I don't think I've seen
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: him move around as much. Prior to this season. He's
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: typically just been that inside technique that won that three technique.
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: But they're moving him around, and there are times where
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: they will put him and Leonard Floyd on the same
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: side and just try to overwhelm you. If Shell isn't
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: in this ball game, I anticipate seeing that look now
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: against the Seattle Seahawks. In fourteen games, Aaron Donald thirteen sacks,
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: thirty one tackles, twenty tackles for loss, thirty six QB hits,
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: two passes defended in two forced fumbles. But it's a
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: good part. In twenty twenty, only has one sack, one tackle,
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: and one tackle for loss, and that was all in
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: the same play. I don't expect him to duplicate that performance.
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: He's Aaron Donald. He's a bad man. But this offensive
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: line can walk into this game at least confidence saying, look,
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: he tore the league up him and doing none of us.
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: I don't know what what he did, y'all, but this Seahawks
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: offensive line has handed him pretty well well. The thing
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: about it, too, is, yes, we could we've kept him
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: from wrecking games because in his tenure he has absolutely
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: just destroyed offensive game plans and ruined games. He's still effective.
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: He still us to cause so much attention in real
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: quick I know Ray Roberts has talked about this a lot.
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: Something the Seahawks offensive line has struggled with is when
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: guys just running games with us, when they run those
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: te stunts and we're having trouble stopping that. And Ray
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: pointed it out on Sunday. A lot of times the guard,
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: too much penetration happens from the guard, and then it's
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: too late to pass it off. So our tackles are
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: just too late, too much pressure inside, so you lean
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: inside and when they loop around, it just can't get
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: there in time. So that's something that we haven't been
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: able to stop, and they're definitely gonna need to work
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: with because man Leonard Floyd, he has five sacks, fifteen
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: tackles in seven QB hits against us this year. A
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: lot of that's because Aaron Donald they're doing upfront. So
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: if you can somehow find a way to slow these
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: guys down, the Seahawks have a good chance on offense.
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: Objective number one, slow down Aaron Donald and mister Floyd. Okay,
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: the next matchup we got Chris Carson, Carlos Hide, and
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: Rashot Penny verse the Rams front seven. Now, none of
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: these guys played in that first matchup. Nobody played. I
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: think Alex Collins was the leading rusher for the team
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: at that running back position. So they're gonna get a
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: dose of what it could what life is really like
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: when you have all your horses in the backfield. We
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: saw Rashot Penny last week get some touches. Chris Carson
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: looks like he is back now. Carlos Hide, Rashad Penny
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: and Carson. They haven't wowed you with a performance this year, right,
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: It's not like we've seen them belind Man, that was
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: a great game over one hundred yards. No, but they've
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: wiled you in moments. Penny not not so much yet.
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: He only has like ten cares for the season. But
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: they've shown that they can keep the chains moving and
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: they can have big plays. I believe Carlos Hide has
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: the biggest rushing player from the line of scrimmage this
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: year for US, and that was a couple of weeks ago.
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: Chris Carson is just steady. He's gonna get you sixty
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: seventy yards twenty thirty yards in the past game. He's
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: gonna have one or two big plays, and I'm okay
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: with that. As long as all three are contributing, I
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: think they will be fine. And they have to contribute
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: this week, Yeah, no question about it. I mean, I
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: think in the second game, Carson at sixteen carry sixty
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: nine yards, three receptions or ten yards. So while he wasn't,
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: like he said, overwhelmingly, he's been kind of getting around
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: that seventy to eighty yards per game where we need
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: him get some of those tough yards. And let's not
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: be afraid to go to him, man, because a lot
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: of times those runs are there, those cutbacks were there
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: for Chris. So I would love to see him get
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: closer that twenty carry mark, just to see him kind
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: of trying to wear down this really good Rams defense.
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: But bomb man. That final matchup, mister Dk metcalf as
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: Ray Roberts would say, versus Jalen Rams. He So the
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: first matchup went to Jalen Metcalfalian at two receptions twenty
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: eight yards for targets all came in second half. Last time,
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: DK was way more effective. Six catches fifty nine yards
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: and a huge third down conversion where he ran through
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: somebody's face, setting them called hollisters, game sealing touch down. Now, bump,
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: it's kind of unfair to say DK versus Jalen, right,
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: just because of how much zone the Rams played. Yeah,
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: they play zone all day. I probably saw man the
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: last time. The Hawks play, maybe two or three times,
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: and the Hawks to a good job of getting matchups them.
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: They'll line up K wherever DK starts off in the formation,
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: Jalen will be standing over him. But what the Hawks
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: have done, they'll motion them to the right side, they'll
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: move them to the slop, and Jalen's just gonna stay
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: where he is. All Right, I'm not gonna not gonna
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: follow you. I'm not gonna chase you. This is a
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: zone concept, and I'm not mad at that because they're
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: trying to get DK mashed up on safeties and outside
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: backers and maybe a small nickel they're trying to I
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: don't I don't think they're running away from Jalen Ramsey.
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: But it's like, look, man, if we don't have to
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: have that matchup every single down, why do it? Now?
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: There are times where you just line them up then
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: you gotta go. And I think when those moments presents itself,
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: I think DK will be ready. They both know this
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: is the third time they're meeting. They both know everyone's
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: talking about this. Jalen is a lockdown corner man. The
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: he did to Hopkins last week, I mean it was
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: it was impressive. I've seen him doing to other receivers.
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: But when you can stay on hopkins hip when you're
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: going downfield, when he's running quick games, this lets you
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: know how versal this guys. He's not gonna pick the
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: ball off. That's not what he does. He's gonna be
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: in your hip. He's gonna get a pass breakup, He's
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: gonna make the big hip. That's his game. So this
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: is gonna be a fun matchup to watch when they
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: do lineup over each other. Now, I think the Hawks
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: are gonna have the same game plan. They're gonna move
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: DK round and get him the ball in space. No
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: no need to be my cheesemo and say we got
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: the best receiver. We're gonna get that. DK's nough Pro
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: Bowl franchise leader when it comes to yards in the season,
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: I get it. But get this man the ball over
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: the field, yeah, no question about it. I think between him,
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: and we saw what we saw from Tyler Lockett last week.
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: I think those two guys are gonna be really crucial
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: and make the Rams pick their poison. What are you
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: gonna take away? If you're gonna put more you know
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: onus in the zone that decays running through, then find
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: Tyler Lockett, get him the rock, I think. But I
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: will say this time, I feel like one of those
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: guys is gonna have a huge game. One of those
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: guys is gonna this week, is gonna have closer to
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: the ten receptions, around one hundred yards and hopefully at
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: least one or two touchdowns. But Bump, we gotta figure
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: out how do we get this done. In the third
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: matchup path to Victory After forty five waits for the staff,
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: Michael Vickson puts it down. That kick is away. If
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: that kick is gone, it's gone. It's a path to victory.
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: On Hawk Talk. First things first, Meg Walford, if he
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: plays looked like a guy who's only played one game
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: in NFL, he cannot come out there and have the
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: greatest game of his life. He can't go out there
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: and post game talk about I dreamed of this as
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: a kid. We don't want that speech. No, nah, we
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: want him to bow out respectfully, ghostit on the sideline,
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: packing bags. Try to make the ball club next year.
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: He needs to look like a young guy. Now Jared
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: golf plays, We know what you gotta do. Send him,
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: Blitz him. He's going to turn the ball over. I
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: feel like he's been stuck app twenty touchdowns, twelve interceptions
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: for like four weeks. Now. I look up his stats
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: and the stat line looks the same when he comes
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: to that department. So make him who he is. And
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: if he does play and he is banged up, I'm
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: not saying be dirty, but I wouldn't mind some extracurriculum activity. Man,
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: make sure you get those QB hits to let him
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: know that it's going to be a rough day at
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: Looming Field. Yeah, no question about it. And just kind
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: of build off that if Wolford starts, Man Wolford, it's
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: a great story. Man. He's a four year starter at
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: Wake fours. How a bunch of stats goes undrafted? The
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: Jets call him. He literally was about to take a
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: job with some private equity firm, and then three days
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: later the Jets call him. He decides to go back
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: to the Jets. He's there for ten days, goes to
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: the AF place for Aaronston one on hot shots, then
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: comes back to the Rams practice squad. Then all of
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: a sudden makes some club this year is Goss back up,
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: wins a week seventeen game to get you in the postseason.
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: It's all great, anything's possible, except for Sunday. I don't
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: want to hear about how good of a story it
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: is on Sunday. It's a great story. We could write
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: an article, But on Sunday I want to be hearing
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: about the Seahawks defense dominated again, and it starts to
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: making us too uncomfortable. And then, man, stop the run.
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: Stop the run. If you stop the run and you
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: put the onus on those two, it's gonna be a
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: long day, because I mean, especially up here, the Seahawks
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: have won ten straight playoff games at Louman Field. I
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: know the fans won't be there, but there's a comfortability,
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: there's a swagger, there's a confidence. So stop the run
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: and protect Ross, Protect Russell, Wilson, bump. You gotta protect
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: the franchise quarterback, the guy who gets this thing going,
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: the protector, the leader, Russell Wilson. Keep that jersey clean.
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: I know they play on field turf these days. You know,
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: back in the day, my day, we played on grass. Baby,
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: that's that jersey got dirty. Keep Russell's jersey clean, and
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: win the turnover battle. Take care of the full ball
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: Russell throw for your touchdowns. I don't care if you
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: throw it for one, rush for two, I don't care.
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: Just keep the rock in the offense's hands. And then
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: I want to get a big ups to Jason Meyers.
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: Meyers taking all those field goals. Baby, we can't miss
