  Speaker 1: out of Washington State has found himself a place on
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: this team. Powered by Seahawks dot Com. What's up, fos.
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: This is Hot Talk Preview edition Week nine. The Tampa
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: Bay Buccaneers make the trip up north to take on
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: the six and two Seattle Seahawks. But like usual, before
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: we get into him, send it over to my producer
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: Nas for the injury updates. All right, thanks Michael. Well,
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: the big news on the injury front is definitely safety
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: Tedrick Thompson. He's going to IR with his shoulder injury.
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: He's got to get his labor room surgically repaired. So
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: that's definitely a tough blow to the Seahawks secondary. Definitely
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: hard to see Tedrick go down with that newly acquired
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: safety Quandre Digs. He's gonna go all the way up
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: to the weekend. He's been struggling to get on the
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: practice field and needs you that before he's able to play.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: So it's going to be a long shot for him
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: this weekend. And some good news on the injury front.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: Cornerback Trey Flowers, who missed last week, got back to
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: practice and he's hoping to be ready to play on Sunday.
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: All right, Michael, let's get into the seahawks Week nine opponent.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: Like you said, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, coming in with
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: a two and six record, has struggled as of late.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: Dropped their last game to the Titans in a tight one,
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: and it sounded a little like this chucking down Tim
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: here's the snapp in Winston dropping has protection, throws the
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: ball over the medal intershofted that a little Brett Paraman.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: Did he give up on his route? Don't know, but
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: the interception will in the ball game where the eighteen
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: second Ryan It's very similar to the one throne in
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: Godwin's direction earlier in the game. It turned out not
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: to be an interception. Not sure if Jamis is expecting
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: him to on that post first, he's staying wide in
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: the scene. But either way, this time it resulted in
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: a interception and ends a game for the Bucks. We
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: two interceptions, two fumbles by number three on the Tennessee Titans.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: We'll improve the series lead to ten and two. At
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: the expense of our Buccaneers on this overcast day in Nashville, Tennessee.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: They'll be playing sad songs all the way home to Tampa.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: Damn all right, Michael, what did you see from the
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: Bucks last week? I'm another tough loss for the Bucks.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: That's their third in a row. And it seems like
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: a common theme going on here with the Butts's turnovers, turnovers, turnovers,
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: wins and through two interceptions and fumbled twice against the Titans.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: If you cannot take care of the football, your chance
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: of winning the game are extremely down. Arians has his back,
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: though he's not. He's not puting all the blame on
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: his quarterback. He's talking about the receivers here a little bit.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: Everybody's gonna want to say, Okay, James through interceptions, Jamis
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: didn't go one damn interception. That was his fun. His
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: receivers let him down today. Guys OpEd on routes that
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: we're supposed to be going down the middle. The last
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: play we're supposed to go down the middle should have
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: been a big play. He played his tail off and
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: you can write what you want, but not one of
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: those interceptions. What's his fault? And it's a damn shame.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: You know, we wasted some opportunities, the turnovers early in
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: the game. We fought back. Anything that happens in the
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: first quarter you can overcome. We overcame it. The big drive,
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: two interceptions that we're called back, and just it's frustrating
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: after further review listening to this. So he's talking about
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: those two interceptions in that game. He's not talking about
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: over the years. So okay, I get it. Because sometimes
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: receivers can cut the route short or maybe round the
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: wrong route. Jamis is anticipating a throw and it just
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: doesn't happen. It's cool to see him have his quarterbacks
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: back there. I mean maybe not if you're in the
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: wide receiver room. But the narrative is that Jamis just
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: turns the ball over way too much, and the numbers
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: kind of backed that up, so it might not be
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: just him Is the culprit in Tampa. Yeah, and the
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: bugs that are right the outgame that the Titans three
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: hundred and ninety eight yards to two forty six. But
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: this couldn't overcome the mistakes. Winston now has ten combined
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: turnovers over the past eight quarters. That must be frustrating,
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: especially now we're seeing or hearing that the coach isn't
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: putting all the blame on Jamis Winston. But at some
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: point you gotta take responsibility for your actions. I've watched
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: a few of these games. He's tossing the ball up
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: in the air. It's almost like a three flags that
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: we used to play back home. You throw the ball
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: up in the air. Whoever catches it three times gets
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: to be quarterback. It's starting to kind of look like
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: that to me. It's I mean, you can't win games
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: that way. I mean you just can't. And it's hard.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: I mean, you look at the Seahawks. Rosy Bless Russell
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: Wilson's throwing the ball one time this year, just once,
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: So Seahawk fans take note. Things could be a lot
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: worse because, like Pete care always says, we take care
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: of the ball, and it's always about the ball. Always
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: about the ball. The Bucks were held to three field
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: goals in the first half. Twice when inside the Tennessee
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: five yard line, you would think you're on the five,
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: You're gonna get in your jumbo package, your hippo package.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: Just pound the football. They just didn't get done. Tampa
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: Bay coach Bruce Aarons was upset with a losing TV
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: with three minutes and forty one left after linebacker Devin
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: White stopped Brett Kerns start up a fake plant, knocking
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: the ball out, Andrew Adams grabbed the football ran towards
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: the end zone, only to be whistled dead. Why did
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: they whistle this dead? It's it's hard to tell, you know.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: I can't I can't speak for the officials, and I'm
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: not gonna get on him. But arians was upset, and
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: you think it's happened a lot where a lot of
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: times where let the place go on and then we
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: go back and review it. Unfortunately, and got whistled dead
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: and it cost the Bucks last week. That's tough on
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: the defensive side. It's almost like you have to play
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: out every single play past the whistle now because you
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: never know what's gonna happen. They're gonna go back to
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: a replay and try to figure things out. It's getting
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: tougher and tougher to play defense in NFL, that's for sure.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: But despite the loss, receiver Mike Evans had a career
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: day eleven receptions, one hundred and ninety eight yards and
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: two touchdowns. This guy's a beast. He's been balling every
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: single year since he's been in the league. He might
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: give us a little bit of trouble when the Bucks
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: come up north. Oh, the secondary is gonna have their
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: hands full death lane. We'll get bring us right into
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: our key matchups. All right, our key matchups. First, we
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: got Jamis Winston versus everybody. The Seahawks need to take
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: the ball away. He's shown that he will give the
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: ball away. Let's take advantage that Winston has twelve interceptions
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: and six fumbles lost on the season. That is eighteen turnovers.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: Our quarterback has how many one one? So stop talking
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: about Russell Wilson and that pick. It's okay, Well, we
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: can live with them. Russell's turned the ball over once
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: this season, like we said, But despite the turnovers, the
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: Bucks our fourth in the NFL and scoring average averaging
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: twenty eight per game. So maybe he's turning the ball
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: over because he's taking these risks. He feels like he
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: needs to put up points to have a chance to
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: win ball games. They got weapons, man, they got weapons
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: in despite their record, just like every every week you
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: play some of the NFL. These guys are professionals. They
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: get paid, they get coach. Everyone gets to coach their guys.
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: It's it's not gonna be walking the park on Sunday.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: I know people are looking into this game this way,
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: but I promise you the Seahawks are not looking at
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: them this way because they got some weapons. Yes they do,
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: all right. Next match up Mike Evans versus the Seattle
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: Seahawks secondary. This guy has been a problem since he's
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: stepped foot in the NFL. He has the nothing but
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: ball in this league. He has over a thousand yards
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: receiving every year he's been in the league. I don't
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: know the history of this, but I feel like not
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: too many receivers have come in what has been the
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: league four years now. I believe this is yeah. I
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: think this is six six year and every year he's
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: been over a thousand yards. This guy special. He I mean,
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: the dude you watch him play and the things that
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: he can do with his body, his body control. He's
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: a big, physical receiver two, so he's gonna go up
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: and get the ball. He's a great route runner. He's
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: got thirty eight receptions, six hundred and sixty two yards
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: and six touchdowns already this season. Yeah. Sorry, And like Benching,
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: last week he had eleven for one hundred ninety eight
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: two touchdowns. I believe my best game was ten catches
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: for one eighty and a touchdown, but we lost that game.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: Next matchup, Chris Goodwin verse the Seattle Seahawks secondary. Evans
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: is the only one who can ball. Chris in his
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: third season, is truly having a breakout year. Last year,
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: he had fifty nine catches for eight hundred forty two
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: yards and seventy d s through eight games. This year,
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: he already has forty seven receptions, seven hundred and five yards,
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: six touchdowns. That's two weeks in a row. We're playing
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: a nice, solid receiving corps. There's weapons over the field,
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: so honestly, I'm hoping Trey Flowers is someone that can
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: get back this week. And obviously Shaquille Griffin is having
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: easily the best year of his career. So hopefully both
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: those guys are back our secondary starting to get healthy.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: We got some more depth there. But yeah, don't get
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: it twisted, man, They are gonna have their work cut
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: out for him on Sunday. They will have their work
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: cut off and maybe digs we'll help with that. Chris
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: Carson versus the Buccaneers front seven. The Buccaneers have the
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: league's best rushing defense by a lot. Now, before we
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: looked at the stats. If I came in here and said, ay, nas,
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: the Bucks got the best rushing defense in the league,
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: would you believe me? Probably not, man, I'd have to
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: go look up ESPN dot com or something. But the
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: numbers don't lie. Numbers don't lie. They only allow sixty
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: eight yards on the grounds per game. The next closest
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: team is New Orleans Saints, giving up eighty four yards.
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: Chris Carson and the Seahawks offensive line, they'll have their
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: hands full. Also, Linebacker Shaquill Barrett leads the defense with
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: ten sacks on the season. Ten sacks. This what do
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: we have eleven sacks or twelve sackson yea week as
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: a team we have twelve sacks. This guy has ten sacks.
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: He's gonna put pressure on the quarterback. Especially with the
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: injuries we have on the offensive line, Russell might have
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: to move around the pocket a little bit more this week.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: See how it receivers versus Buccaneers secondary. While the Bucks
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: have the best rush defense in NFL, there's a secondary
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: is struggling the thirty first in NFL pass defense, giving
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: up two hundred and eighty five yards per game. We
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: throw for about two hundred a game. Maybe this is
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: another breakout game where Russell hits statuo fifty mark three
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: hundred mark. DK look is looking like a solid number
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: two receiver. Tyler Locke is doing this thame and we
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: always have a third receiver flash. This week it was
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: David Moore with a nice run. Willing Turner got involved.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: I'm so I'm interested to see how Shotty in the
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: game exploits the secondary. I think the way I see
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: this game going, I think it's gonna start kind of slow,
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: and it's gonna be kind of a grind and they're
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: gonna get there because the Years have such a good
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: rush defense. But that's what we do. Yeah, so something's
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: gotta give, right we are at our best when we
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: run the football. Chris Carson has been an absolute monster
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: this year. Offensive line is getting better weekend and week out,
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: so something's got to give there. So I think we're
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: gonna try to wear them out early on, and it's
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: gonna kind of be slow, slow, slow, and that's gonna
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: set up deep play action stuff and open open the
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: field up for Locke in DK And I'm glad you
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: said that. You know, they should hand out notes to
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: the twelves when they come into stadium so they know, like, look,
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: we're gonna run the ball. But look they're really good
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: against this run. So don't get mad, don't get frustrated.
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: We have to set it up. We have to do
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: what we do to set up the plaction pass. I
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: believe the first play last game was a play action pass.
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: So I want to see how they counter this. This
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: great defensive line they got going here, all right, the
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: passive victory create turnovers. Jamie Wisson themselves has eighteen turners
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: over the year. Gotta take the ball away. The last
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: couple of weeks have been doing that. Let's keep the
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: party going. Come out strong after a halftime. Two weeks
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: in row, the Hawks have not looked like the same
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: team in the second half. Pea carroll themself on finishing.
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: You gotta get back today. It's not how you start,
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: it's how you finish. But I would like a nice
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: start as well. Yeah, and a good finish. Set the
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: tone and dictate the bucks they don't have. They have
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: a great run defense, but still needs to run the
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: ball to keep our offense on track. Don't get frustrated.
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: Take a two yard game, take a three yard game.
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: Sometimes you're gonna get stalled out. You have to establish
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: the run to set everything else up. And again we'll
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: be missing a couple of spots on the line. So
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: I just stick with it. Be patient, everything be fine.
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: Handle business at home. I've already lost two games at
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: home this season. That needs to change four and on
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: the road. First times is nineteen eighty lost two at home.
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: I don't know when's the last time we've done that
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: in the first uh four home games. But gotta take
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: care take care of home. One of the Hawks' greatest
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: advantages is Century Linkfield is the twelves. So we gotta
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: get back to doing what we do at the house,
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: and I think we will. Man, I think we're I
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: think we've had the two games we've lost, don't get
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: a twist. We lost the two playoff caliber football teams,
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: and we had a chance to win those games. And
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: both those games we lost at home. We gave up
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: too many points. We gave up fourteen points on offense.
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: We gave up in the first game of the Saints,
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: we gave up some we give a pump return and
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: allowed another score on defense. So if we take care
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: of the ball, we don't give it up. I think
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: that's gonna eliminate all those problems. And the twelves are
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: gonna be rocking. And we need to get to seven
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: and two. Get to seven and two, because you know
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: who we got a couple of weeks after that, the
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: good old Niners. All right, folks. That's another Hawk Talk
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: Preview edition, Week nine. The two and six Bucks come
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: up to the northwest of Face to six and two
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: Seattle Seahawks has been real. I'm your host, Michael Pumps,
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: along with my producer Nasa Choby. We'll catch you next time.
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: After a year I had been ant
