Speaker 1: You're listening to Hawk Talk with former Seahawks wide receiver
0:05
Speaker 1: Michael Bumpus at the ten yard line. Second to day
0:08
Speaker 1: three wide receivers now in motion has Bumpas left to right,
0:11
Speaker 1: Julius Jones, a single setback Matt Pumpfeck's looking at the
0:14
Speaker 1: goal line. He throws it into the end zone. Touchdown.
0:17
Speaker 1: Say Hawks, it's Michael Bumpas with a diving catching the
0:21
Speaker 1: end zone. Our ten yard touchdown reception for Puppas and
0:25
Speaker 1: the kid out of Washington State has found himself a
0:29
Speaker 1: place on this team. Powered by Seahawks dot Com. You
0:33
Speaker 1: are listening to Hawk Talk Recap edition. The Seahawks fall
0:37
Speaker 1: to the Titans thirty three to thirty and overtime in
0:41
Speaker 1: the home opener. Was a tough game. Disappointed, but you
0:44
Speaker 1: live and you learn, and like we always do, let's
0:47
Speaker 1: get into the trenches and talk some football with Ray Roberts.
0:52
Speaker 1: It's time to go inside the trenches with former Seahawk
0:55
Speaker 1: Ray Roberts. Big Ray. These Hawks lose to the Titans
1:01
Speaker 1: thirty three to thirty and over timing and dramatic fashion.
1:03
Speaker 1: They had chances to put this game away. They allowed
1:07
Speaker 1: the Tennessee Titans to hang around. But during the post
1:10
Speaker 1: game show we talked in you saw a difference in
1:13
Speaker 1: the offensive approach. Explain to the people what that was. Yeah,
1:17
Speaker 1: it was just you know, then the first week, you know,
1:20
Speaker 1: we were really excited about how they made the defense
1:23
Speaker 1: to defend the entire field. So you had the deep
1:25
Speaker 1: passes to Locket and against the Colts, you had you know,
1:30
Speaker 1: using the tight end. We ran the ball well, we
1:32
Speaker 1: used a lot of motion, like pre snap motion and
1:36
Speaker 1: at the snap movement to kind of create some timing
1:39
Speaker 1: to get the run game going. And Chris Carson had
1:42
Speaker 1: you know, close to one hundred yards rushing, and Russell
1:44
Speaker 1: had a big day. Tyler Lockett had a big day.
1:46
Speaker 1: Gerald Everts scored a touchdown. I think we completed passes
1:49
Speaker 1: to seven different receivers and running back and so it
1:54
Speaker 1: just felt like there was like this offense that could
1:57
Speaker 1: overwhelm a defense just purely on the play call, you know,
2:01
Speaker 1: and and distributing the ball to different people. And then
2:04
Speaker 1: yesterday it just it just felt like, uh, they just
2:07
Speaker 1: abandoned that idea and uh like we just kind of
2:11
Speaker 1: lined up and it felt like we're kind of playing
2:14
Speaker 1: I'm tougher than you football and not really using some
2:18
Speaker 1: of the weapons that we had. Now. Part of that is,
2:21
Speaker 1: you know, maybe the defense was doing something to take
2:24
Speaker 1: those things away. But then my response to that would be, man,
2:28
Speaker 1: like the best offenses in the league, they dictate to
2:31
Speaker 1: the defense, and so I felt like that Sea also
2:33
Speaker 1: building an offense that could that could do that. And
2:36
Speaker 1: so I felt yesterday we kind of played their game
2:39
Speaker 1: and they were better at playing their game than we were. Uh,
2:42
Speaker 1: and that was mostly in the running game. In the
2:45
Speaker 1: passing game, you I mean, yeah, there was some some miscuse,
2:48
Speaker 1: you know, at the end of the at the end
2:50
Speaker 1: of the game, some mishits, but and Russell may have
2:52
Speaker 1: missed a touchdown pass the title locket, you know, like
2:55
Speaker 1: later in the game. But um, but uh, for the
2:59
Speaker 1: most part that game, you know, they the deep ball
3:01
Speaker 1: was working, DK was working the sidelines, and some of
3:04
Speaker 1: the intermediate passes we didn't get to tight ends involved
3:07
Speaker 1: and the running backs involved as much. But but you
3:10
Speaker 1: can see some you know, some some continuation of the
3:13
Speaker 1: passing game. It just it just felt like it was
3:15
Speaker 1: two different offensive approaches from one week to the next.
3:18
Speaker 1: And that was that's a little disappointing. Yeah, I could
3:21
Speaker 1: see where you're coming from. Chris Carson didn't touch the
3:24
Speaker 1: ball as much as he'd like to, only half thirty
3:26
Speaker 1: one rushing yards. We didn't see a lot of the
3:28
Speaker 1: pre snap movement that we were used to seeing. But
3:31
Speaker 1: we knew days like this they're gonna come. We're talking
3:34
Speaker 1: about this offense and being a little disappointed, but they
3:36
Speaker 1: still put up thirty points, right, so yeah, we're doing
3:40
Speaker 1: some things right. It just wasn't what we thought we
3:42
Speaker 1: were going to see. Now. Defensively, it was a tale
3:45
Speaker 1: of two halves, right. The first half you go in
3:48
Speaker 1: to halftime is twenty forty nine. You see Pete Carroll
3:51
Speaker 1: hyping up the crowd all as well, you're feeling good.
3:53
Speaker 1: Second half number twenty two, Derek Henry got going. What
3:57
Speaker 1: you see out of him? Yeah, you know, the thing is,
4:00
Speaker 1: you know, doing the post game, you know, we kept
4:03
Speaker 1: asking players like what changed in the second half to
4:06
Speaker 1: where he was able to run the ball when it
4:08
Speaker 1: seemed like you had him bottled up in the first half.
4:10
Speaker 1: But the thing is, and we you know I try
4:13
Speaker 1: to speak to this in the pregame, is that that's
4:15
Speaker 1: just how he works. I can remember watching the games
4:19
Speaker 1: you know last year and teams that have them bottled
4:21
Speaker 1: up in the first half, but somewhere between, somewhere around
4:23
Speaker 1: midway to the third quarter, they just stay committed to
4:26
Speaker 1: what they were doing and then all of a sudden,
4:28
Speaker 1: he breaks a long winning that breaks open their their games.
4:31
Speaker 1: So you could say, well, you take away that that
4:33
Speaker 1: one long run, and you know what do you have
4:36
Speaker 1: then when he's still averaged over four yards to carry
4:38
Speaker 1: on those other twenty one carry So the first half
4:41
Speaker 1: he's only averaging in less than three yards to carry.
4:43
Speaker 1: So that's just kind of what he does. And they
4:46
Speaker 1: make you stay committed to stopping him as long as
4:49
Speaker 1: they are committed to doing it. And and so I
4:52
Speaker 1: think we had to take some chances. Maybe we felt
4:55
Speaker 1: the running game was kind of coming downhill on the defense,
4:57
Speaker 1: and then you lose a little gap control you have
5:00
Speaker 1: a sixty plus yard touchdown. So I think, you know,
5:03
Speaker 1: the biggest thing with the Seahawks who were on defense
5:06
Speaker 1: was obviously having to stop the run, but getting themselves
5:09
Speaker 1: off the field, whether it was them picking up you know,
5:13
Speaker 1: the third down conversions weren't all that great, but you know,
5:16
Speaker 1: they were picking up big yardage first downs on second
5:19
Speaker 1: down or penalties that were allowing the drive to stay alive,
5:23
Speaker 1: and so the defense just could not get itself off
5:25
Speaker 1: the field to get the offense back on the field.
5:27
Speaker 1: And then when the offense was on the field, man,
5:29
Speaker 1: I think in the second half, as long as the
5:31
Speaker 1: drive was like five minutes and I think they only
5:33
Speaker 1: had the ball one and that was the one time
5:35
Speaker 1: they had the ball in the third quarter and the
5:37
Speaker 1: fourth quarted, offense couldn't say on the field three and
5:39
Speaker 1: out in less than two minutes for the rest of
5:41
Speaker 1: their drives there mostly so just a little to me.
5:45
Speaker 1: I don't want to say it's a crisis, but there
5:47
Speaker 1: is a little identity crisis, like, Okay, who are we
5:50
Speaker 1: going to show it to be every week on defense?
5:53
Speaker 1: And then who are we going to show it to
5:54
Speaker 1: be every week on offense? And I think the sooner
5:56
Speaker 1: you figured that out, the better. Yeah, feel you right?
6:00
Speaker 1: I feel like on defense. I mean, we listened to
6:02
Speaker 1: Bobby Talk, we listened to Jamal last night, Pete Carrol,
6:05
Speaker 1: and the common thing was gap integrity, right being sound
6:09
Speaker 1: when it comes to the gaps and what people don't
6:10
Speaker 1: realize there's ABC and there's d gaps out there when
6:13
Speaker 1: you tuck to that offensive line and every player everyone's
6:17
Speaker 1: responsible for a gap unless're sitting guys on blitz and
6:20
Speaker 1: twist and all that stuff. And against a runner like
6:23
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry, you just have to do your job and
6:26
Speaker 1: do it even though he's getting downhill on you. So
6:28
Speaker 1: maybe that has something to do with it. Okay, so
6:31
Speaker 1: we're gonna flush the Tennessee Titans. That was a good
6:34
Speaker 1: football team. I mean, Julio Jones came out, he had
6:36
Speaker 1: a day, Ryan Tannehill played these Derrick Henry got going.
6:39
Speaker 1: Now we're gonna look forward to the Minnesota Vikings. This
6:42
Speaker 1: is a team that is sneaky every year. Like even
6:45
Speaker 1: when you just look at the logo, you don't really
6:46
Speaker 1: take it too serious. Vikings, you know the same, the
6:49
Speaker 1: same when they have Brett Farvin that that championship run.
6:53
Speaker 1: This is Kirk Cousins, this is Adam Thieleis is Justin Jefferson,
6:56
Speaker 1: Dalvin Cook. They still got some guys on this team. Um,
7:00
Speaker 1: what what concerns you about this team or what's on
7:02
Speaker 1: the scouting report? Well, to me, their offense is real
7:06
Speaker 1: similar to to what they what they just saw in Tennessee.
7:09
Speaker 1: It's just a different type of running back you know.
7:11
Speaker 1: Uh they have they have receivers on the outside they
7:14
Speaker 1: can do some damage. Uh, and they have a running
7:16
Speaker 1: back that can put up a lot of yards. You know,
7:18
Speaker 1: last year we played on their backup rushed for over
7:21
Speaker 1: one hundred yards and Dalvin Cook was injured but still
7:23
Speaker 1: rushed for sixty yards. So, uh, this the defensive game
7:27
Speaker 1: plan is gonna have to come and be the same
7:28
Speaker 1: as you know, the gap integrity been aggressive making tackles, uh,
7:32
Speaker 1: you know, getting guys to the grounds. Uh, and then
7:35
Speaker 1: also just trying to get pressure on the quarterback with
7:38
Speaker 1: having without having a blitz so you can play better coverage.
7:41
Speaker 1: So that to me, the defensive approach shouldn't change this
7:44
Speaker 1: week just because they don't have a six four children
7:47
Speaker 1: fifty pound running back. Uh. Their their approach who is
7:51
Speaker 1: still going to be to be the same thing. And
7:53
Speaker 1: then offensively, I just think we just have to get
7:55
Speaker 1: back to, uh, you know what we saw in that
7:58
Speaker 1: first game, like just some of that type of offense,
8:01
Speaker 1: you know, some of that uh you know, spreading the
8:04
Speaker 1: ball around and getting everybody involved on the fly sweep.
8:07
Speaker 1: We didn't see one single fly sweep. There's only one
8:10
Speaker 1: target to a tight end, and we were talking in
8:12
Speaker 1: a pregame about you know, there were at one point
8:15
Speaker 1: in the first game those four straight passes a tight ends,
8:19
Speaker 1: and so so the offense just needs to get back
8:21
Speaker 1: to that. And I think, you know, maybe they were
8:24
Speaker 1: trying to look at other aspects of the offense and
8:26
Speaker 1: how that runs and thinking that that was gonna be
8:29
Speaker 1: get game plan for for yesterday, and it didn't work out.
8:32
Speaker 1: So maybe there's a combination of the two games that
8:34
Speaker 1: we've seen so far. So whatever that is, I think
8:38
Speaker 1: that's the offense that needs to show up on Sunday
8:40
Speaker 1: against against the Vikings, because I feel if you're spreading
8:43
Speaker 1: the ball around and you're running the you know, having
8:46
Speaker 1: all the movement, you get to running game going. You know,
8:48
Speaker 1: you have the short game going, you have the deep ball,
8:51
Speaker 1: it seems like no one can stop lock it on.
8:53
Speaker 1: Then you're really truly making this defense have to defend
8:57
Speaker 1: every inch of the field. And and to me, that
9:01
Speaker 1: is when this office is going to be the best.
9:03
Speaker 1: I agree with your big Ray, Well, here's the good
9:05
Speaker 1: here's a good thing. Right, they gotta win and they
9:08
Speaker 1: have a loss. Yet two sets of film to look
9:11
Speaker 1: at to figure out who they are. I think that's
9:13
Speaker 1: the message that you're sending. I agree with your big
9:15
Speaker 1: ray Man. Appreciate your time, Homie, yesh third, go Hawks.
9:21
Speaker 1: All right, let's bring get Nasa Chobin now and talk
9:24
Speaker 1: about what happened in our first segment, lovely segment. What
9:27
Speaker 1: had happened? See what had happened at first? What had
9:33
Speaker 1: happened was un huh. What had happened was man bump.
9:39
Speaker 1: Sunday did not turn out the way the Seahawks and
9:41
Speaker 1: the rest of us imagine, as they fell to the
9:43
Speaker 1: Tennessee Titans thirty three to thirty and the home opener
9:47
Speaker 1: in overtime. The Titans snap the seahawks thirteen game home
9:50
Speaker 1: opener winning streak. That's the first home loss and the
9:53
Speaker 1: home opener since two thousand and eight. Rinch, you on
9:56
Speaker 1: the roster that year. I was on that team. Mass
9:59
Speaker 1: who it's a big It's been a hot minute, man,
10:01
Speaker 1: and honestly, you guys alluded to it. Man. It was
10:03
Speaker 1: the tail of two halves. Seahawks were up twenty four
10:05
Speaker 1: to nine in the first half. Big play after big
10:08
Speaker 1: play on offense, and they held Derreck Henry in check.
10:11
Speaker 1: So in the first half, Derek Henry had thirteen carries
10:14
Speaker 1: for just thirty five yards, averaging two point seven yards
10:17
Speaker 1: a carry. You knew he was gonna come in. They're
10:20
Speaker 1: gonna give him the football a ton, and the Seahawks
10:23
Speaker 1: were up to the challenge. They shut him down in
10:24
Speaker 1: the first half, and then the second half came along
10:28
Speaker 1: and that's when that man went off. He ended the
10:30
Speaker 1: day with one hundred and eighty two yards on thirty
10:33
Speaker 1: five carries and three touchdowns. Just in the second half alone,
10:36
Speaker 1: he had seventeen carries for one hundred and twenty six yards,
10:39
Speaker 1: including one sixty yard touchdown. That was the most yards
10:42
Speaker 1: ever given up in the Pete Carroll Air by one player.
10:45
Speaker 1: That happened against Adrian Peterson back in twenty twelve. So
10:48
Speaker 1: it was disappointing. I mean, I think anytime you're playing
10:51
Speaker 1: at louman Field and you're up double digit points in
10:54
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter, you think that game's over. You know,
10:56
Speaker 1: it's all about head coach Pete Carroll preaches is all
10:59
Speaker 1: about the ball, and it's all about winning the game
11:01
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter. And unfortunately on Sunday, the Seahawks
11:03
Speaker 1: came up a little short came up a little short.
11:06
Speaker 1: You mentioned Derek Henry guy going in the second half.
11:08
Speaker 1: The Seahawks gave up five hundred and thirty two yards
11:11
Speaker 1: of total OFFENSEE. Also, the Titans had the ball forty
11:15
Speaker 1: two minutes to the Seahawks twenty two. Battan right there.
11:18
Speaker 1: This is let you know that the Titans were sustaining drives.
11:21
Speaker 1: They are putting drives together, controlling the tempo, doing what
11:24
Speaker 1: they had to do. Titans also had thirty three first
11:26
Speaker 1: downs to the Seahawks seventeen. I think that stat is
11:30
Speaker 1: it's kind of misleading because the Hawks were making plays.
11:33
Speaker 1: They're just making big plays. When they scored, there was
11:35
Speaker 1: three plays, four or five plays. Let's go up top
11:38
Speaker 1: and let's get off the field. So just different approaches
11:41
Speaker 1: to this game. The Seahawks were the banger bus type
11:44
Speaker 1: team and the Titans were the Okay, let's sustain these
11:47
Speaker 1: drives and keep going. Ah It was frustrating to watch, yes,
11:52
Speaker 1: and if you are a Hawks fan, it's the first
11:53
Speaker 1: time they've lost that home in the home over since
11:55
Speaker 1: two thousand and eight. But they did do some good things. Man,
11:59
Speaker 1: we see we saw Tyre Lockett. We're gonna talk about
12:01
Speaker 1: him in the playmakers, he makes some big plays. Russell
12:03
Speaker 1: Wilson looked good early, defense looked good early. I think
12:05
Speaker 1: it's all about putting it all together now, right, having
12:09
Speaker 1: a full game of what we saw yesterday. So let's
12:13
Speaker 1: highlight some players now because there were some positives out
12:16
Speaker 1: there and our playmakers playmakers well like we usually do.
12:29
Speaker 1: In this segment, we got to start it off with
12:31
Speaker 1: a quarterback at number three, Russell Wilson. He went twenty
12:34
Speaker 1: two for thirty one with three hundred and forty three yards,
12:37
Speaker 1: two touchdowns and once again zero interceptions. And thing with
12:41
Speaker 1: russ Man, he was cooking in that first half. He
12:44
Speaker 1: was doing everything that he needed to do. He was
12:46
Speaker 1: finding big play after big play, getting a lot of
12:48
Speaker 1: help from the receiving corps. And the difference is in
12:52
Speaker 1: that second half, like you said, the Seahawks inabilities, the
12:55
Speaker 1: same drives is what really hurt. When you only have
12:58
Speaker 1: the ball once in the third quarter, and then you
12:59
Speaker 1: have the ball with a chance to win the game
13:01
Speaker 1: and overtime you go backwards to go three and out,
13:03
Speaker 1: you pump from your one yard line and at that
13:06
Speaker 1: point in overtime get you get the Titan started that
13:10
Speaker 1: drive on like the fifty plus, so it's gonna be
13:11
Speaker 1: really hard to keep anyone out of the end zone there.
13:14
Speaker 1: But Russell Wilson's still doing his staying over three hundred
13:17
Speaker 1: yards and two touchdowns on Sunday. Russell took care of
13:20
Speaker 1: their rock. That's a positive. Now, Tyler Lockett another big game,
13:24
Speaker 1: eight receptions, one hundred and seventy eight yards, one touchdowns.
13:27
Speaker 1: Yesterday's performance was Tyler Locke's twelfth career one hundred yard
13:31
Speaker 1: game back to back this year so far weeks one
13:33
Speaker 1: and two. Lockett is the fourth players is nineteen ninety
13:36
Speaker 1: to record multiple touchdowns receptions of at least sixty yards,
13:40
Speaker 1: and it seems first two games of the season guests
13:42
Speaker 1: was on that list. Steve Smith Junior all right, sorry,
13:45
Speaker 1: senior se Smith, senior, Randy Moss, and Jerry Rice. That's
13:49
Speaker 1: some good company right there. Number sixteen. This finds a way.
13:53
Speaker 1: I mentioned this in the post game, like he has
13:55
Speaker 1: his own style the way he does things man, and
13:58
Speaker 1: it's impressive to see a guy his size continue to
14:01
Speaker 1: make the big man plays. You can always count on
14:04
Speaker 1: Tyler Lockett to be where he's supposed to be to
14:07
Speaker 1: make the tough catch, and then the run after the
14:09
Speaker 1: catch is good too. He makes the toughest catches look easy.
14:12
Speaker 1: Everything between him and Russell Wilson seems effortless. When Russell
14:15
Speaker 1: throws those deep balls, Tyler Lockett finds a way to
14:19
Speaker 1: position his body and just run right underneath it. He
14:22
Speaker 1: gets behind defenders and again, you talked about this a lot.
14:26
Speaker 1: He doesn't do it the same way other guys do it.
14:28
Speaker 1: He has his own unique style, but man, he is
14:31
Speaker 1: a tear in that open field, breaking people down soil.
14:34
Speaker 1: Tyler Lockett is doing his thing and his buddy who's
14:36
Speaker 1: also playing well right now, Freddy Swayin. Freddy Swayne went
14:40
Speaker 1: five receptions for ninety five yards in a touchdown. He
14:43
Speaker 1: had that big long touchdown in a busted coverage. But
14:47
Speaker 1: it's good to see him kind of step up and
14:48
Speaker 1: emerges that number three receiver. Obviously d Esker has been
14:51
Speaker 1: banged up. He was kind of a guy that we
14:53
Speaker 1: thought might take over that role. But it's good to
14:54
Speaker 1: see Freddy Swayin out there balling. The performer Chris Carson
14:59
Speaker 1: thirteen cares for thirty one yards, not the amount of
15:01
Speaker 1: carries that he would like. I think this guy needs
15:03
Speaker 1: touch the ball twenty times. But he did have two touchdowns.
15:06
Speaker 1: You know that when you get down to the red zone,
15:08
Speaker 1: you can give it to number thirty two. He is
15:10
Speaker 1: gonna fall forward now. Carson passes Ricky Waters for this
15:14
Speaker 1: for sixth place on the Seattle's all time rushing touchdown
15:17
Speaker 1: list with twenty three. He is a good running back.
15:21
Speaker 1: I think they are going to figure out how to
15:22
Speaker 1: get him the ball more and be more creative with him.
15:25
Speaker 1: This week. He was disappointed that he didn't touch the
15:28
Speaker 1: ball as much, and he should be disappointed. You want
15:31
Speaker 1: your guys to be disappointed if they don't touch the
15:33
Speaker 1: ball a lot because they want to make these plays.
15:35
Speaker 1: But he still contributed. Chris Carson, I expect It's crazy.
15:38
Speaker 1: I expect a bounce back game for him, even though
15:41
Speaker 1: he had two touchdowns this week, absolutely, and all the
15:44
Speaker 1: things about that was the opportunity, Like he talked about,
15:47
Speaker 1: he only had four carries in the second half. So
15:49
Speaker 1: for we know Chris Carson's game, it's similar to Derrick
15:51
Speaker 1: Henry in the sense if he wears people down. Sometimes
15:54
Speaker 1: it's a slow start, but by that second half, if
15:56
Speaker 1: you've established that run, he really grinds on people and
15:59
Speaker 1: he's hard to tackle a second half, So definitely looking
16:01
Speaker 1: to see him get more involved next week against the Vikings.
16:04
Speaker 1: But man, b Wags Man doing b wags things. Future
16:09
Speaker 1: Hall of Famer Bobby Wagner twenty tackles, one tackle for loss,
16:13
Speaker 1: one sack, two quarterback hits, and those twenty tackles were
16:16
Speaker 1: not only a career high, but he said a franchise
16:19
Speaker 1: record for a single game in tackles. Now, a lot
16:22
Speaker 1: of people sometimes question how many tackles you have and
16:26
Speaker 1: how that relates to how well you play it, and
16:27
Speaker 1: if not, if you're making a lot of tackles down
16:30
Speaker 1: the field, if you're making a lot of tackles in
16:31
Speaker 1: the past game, But say what you want, man, anytime
16:34
Speaker 1: you're twenty tackles in the National Football League, you're doing
16:37
Speaker 1: your thing. You had a big time sack on third
16:39
Speaker 1: down to Captain Maddie end Zone. He made another big
16:41
Speaker 1: time stop in the overtime period. So Bobby Wagner, it's
16:44
Speaker 1: just consistent. He is consistent. You know what you're gonna
16:48
Speaker 1: get for him each and every week. So it's great
16:49
Speaker 1: to see fifty four doing his thing. And you know
16:51
Speaker 1: the best thing about what I heard from him a
16:54
Speaker 1: post game was you know, they asked him about It's like, hey,
16:56
Speaker 1: you just said a franchise record. You know, how does
16:57
Speaker 1: that feel? He said, don't matter we loss, No, it
17:01
Speaker 1: doesn't matter. I mean that's he loved that mentality because
17:03
Speaker 1: it's not about stats and accolades. We love to talk
17:06
Speaker 1: about him because it's easy for us. But Bobby Wagner,
17:09
Speaker 1: it's good to see him. He has that dog mentality
17:11
Speaker 1: and he kept showing out twenty tackles big day. All right,
17:14
Speaker 1: those are our playmakers who get Russell Wilson, Tyler Lockett,
17:16
Speaker 1: Freddie Swain, Chris Carson, and Bobby Wagner. Now we're gonna
17:20
Speaker 1: go to the receiver room with the receiver roundup. We
17:24
Speaker 1: mentioned this guy already, Tyler Lockett eight catches, one hundred
17:27
Speaker 1: and seventy eight yards, one touchdown and a long of
17:30
Speaker 1: sixty three. Freddie Sway we mentioned him, five receptions ninety
17:34
Speaker 1: five yards, one touchdown. DK. I wouldn't say an off
17:39
Speaker 1: day for DK, but not the type of day that
17:41
Speaker 1: we expected out of him. Six receptions, fifty three yards,
17:44
Speaker 1: no touchdowns. But he did have eleven targets, so it's
17:47
Speaker 1: not like they were not going to the man, right,
17:49
Speaker 1: it just wasn't his day. It was Tyler Locke's day.
17:52
Speaker 1: I'm sure they're gonna find ways to get him the
17:54
Speaker 1: ball down the field. There's no way you're gonna have
17:56
Speaker 1: that size and that speed and not use him down
17:59
Speaker 1: the field. Yeah, it's interesting to see how teams were
18:01
Speaker 1: covering him this year. I mean, I think now that
18:03
Speaker 1: he's reached his elite status in the national football people
18:07
Speaker 1: were gonna cover him differently. They're gonna do things to
18:09
Speaker 1: take him away. And when that happens, guys like Tyler
18:12
Speaker 1: Lockett ball out, Guys like Freddy Swain ball out. So
18:15
Speaker 1: even when he has a day where he's six receptions
18:17
Speaker 1: or fifty three yards, he's doing stuff to help Locket
18:20
Speaker 1: get open. And at some point, you know, people were
18:23
Speaker 1: looking at the Seahawks film the first two games just
18:25
Speaker 1: like we're not giving getting beat deep by Tyler Lockett.
18:28
Speaker 1: So people are gonna start game planning to take away
18:31
Speaker 1: Locket because that's what's been killing him. So I would
18:33
Speaker 1: look for DK to have some big games coming up.
18:36
Speaker 1: Travis Homer had two receptions for fourteen yards. Gerald Everett
18:39
Speaker 1: had one reception for three yards. Unfortunately, he's the only
18:43
Speaker 1: tight end to make a reception and it wasn't a
18:45
Speaker 1: big one. So hopefully next week we can kind of
18:48
Speaker 1: get back to what we saw against the Colts, a
18:50
Speaker 1: lot more tight end involvement, some tight end screens. It's
18:53
Speaker 1: kind of different actions. I'd love to see Will Distally
18:55
Speaker 1: get involved as well. You know, Kobe Parkins shouldn't should
18:58
Speaker 1: be coming back soon, so he's gonna had some more
19:00
Speaker 1: receiving threat to that tight end room. So overall hoping
19:04
Speaker 1: that those guys have a bigger game. But in summary,
19:06
Speaker 1: man the wide receivers definitely balled out on Sunday. Wide
19:10
Speaker 1: receivers did their thing. Speaking of wide receivers, we're going
19:12
Speaker 1: to the coach's corner. We're gonna break down to play
19:14
Speaker 1: the play we're breaking down this week. Tyler Locket is
19:17
Speaker 1: sixty three yard touchdown from Russell Wilson wide slot, far
19:21
Speaker 1: side Russ play fake be chase, Now he looks now,
19:23
Speaker 1: he throws back. It's Tyler Locket. Waits makes the catch,
19:27
Speaker 1: bunch a tackle, thirty twenty five backup touching Tag Finn touchdown,
19:33
Speaker 1: Tyler Locket touchdown, Seahawks A sixty three yarder. The Tyler
19:40
Speaker 1: Locket stop started, broke a tackle and then broke the
19:45
Speaker 1: tape at the finish line like he was winning the
19:48
Speaker 1: hundred in the Olympics. The building is rocking and the
19:52
Speaker 1: Seahawks go on top nine to six. What a big
19:58
Speaker 1: play from Tyler Lockett is in the second quarter, six minutes,
20:02
Speaker 1: fifty one seconds left on the clock. And what happens
20:04
Speaker 1: here is you got a motion by the tight end
20:08
Speaker 1: gets to the other side of the formation, gets him
20:10
Speaker 1: in like a trips look. Tyler is the number two receiver.
20:12
Speaker 1: That means he's inside the two receivers, one outside of him,
20:16
Speaker 1: one inside of him. And what really sells us there's
20:18
Speaker 1: a play fake to Chris Carson and Russell starts to
20:20
Speaker 1: roll to his right like he likes to do. Typically,
20:24
Speaker 1: when you're rolling to your right, you're gonna put somebody
20:26
Speaker 1: on a corner route for the outlet. But what Russell
20:28
Speaker 1: does it it's a half roll, all right, We're selling
20:31
Speaker 1: that I'm gonna roll to the right and hit back corner.
20:33
Speaker 1: He half rolls and he looks for Tyler Lockett. What
20:36
Speaker 1: Tyler does a great job of doing is selling that
20:39
Speaker 1: corner rout. He turns his shoulders to the sideline like
20:42
Speaker 1: he's gonna be that corner guy. So at the same
20:44
Speaker 1: time Russell Wilson is half rolling and stopping. Tyler sells
20:47
Speaker 1: a corner, then snaps his shoulders back to the other
20:50
Speaker 1: side of the field and kind of makes it into
20:52
Speaker 1: a deep cross and Russell just tosses it up there. Now,
20:56
Speaker 1: former teammate Bradley McDougall takes a horrible angle out that
20:59
Speaker 1: safety five, Tyler makes guys miss puts on the Jets,
21:03
Speaker 1: gets in the end zone. Just another day at the
21:05
Speaker 1: office for Tyler Locket. Tyler Lockett sixteen is just so
21:08
Speaker 1: smooth and he's taking out a couple of people with
21:11
Speaker 1: Seattle ties. Elijah Mold in the corner on that play
21:13
Speaker 1: is the one you had him in coverage. And then
21:15
Speaker 1: former Seahawk who started a lot of games here, Bradley McDougall,
21:18
Speaker 1: like you said, took a bad angle, but it's just
21:20
Speaker 1: the way he's able to stop start get going. He
21:23
Speaker 1: is sneak. I mean, we know he's fast, we know that,
21:27
Speaker 1: but he's football fast, right, He's fast in the forty
21:31
Speaker 1: but when he's on the football field, he's a different
21:33
Speaker 1: kind of level and he just has that shake, just
21:35
Speaker 1: spop and then oh, McDougall's like, oh no, bad, angle
21:39
Speaker 1: overruns it and now you're gonna get a earfull from
21:42
Speaker 1: the coaching staff on your way back to the sideline.
21:44
Speaker 1: But Tyler Locket, man, he's smooth. It's crazy when Russell
21:48
Speaker 1: throws these footballs and they hang in the air for
21:50
Speaker 1: a while. Sometimes it feels like it's up there too long,
21:52
Speaker 1: but the timing is always good with these man, I
21:55
Speaker 1: don't I don't know. Of course they practiced this stuff,
21:59
Speaker 1: but the field that Russell Wilson has thrown these deep footballs,
22:02
Speaker 1: and then the sneakiness that you talk about Tyler Locket
22:06
Speaker 1: when it comes to running these routes to being where
22:07
Speaker 1: he's supposed to be. It's definitely fun to watch. Lost
22:11
Speaker 1: the game, but that was a bright spot. And typically
22:14
Speaker 1: a lot of the times most of the season, we
22:16
Speaker 1: get into the victory formation to end this show. But
22:19
Speaker 1: this week, Nas, the clock just ran out on us,
22:24
Speaker 1: on me taking the fire Huntley. They're just gonna let
22:27
Speaker 1: the clock wind down, preach, not even gonna bother taking
22:29
Speaker 1: that last time out up the clock ran out on
22:33
Speaker 1: the Seahawks, and honestly, it came down to you can
22:36
Speaker 1: say this almost every single week. Most games in the
22:39
Speaker 1: Nashal Football League come down to a handful of place
22:41
Speaker 1: and Sunday was no different. The Seahawks just didn't make
22:43
Speaker 1: enough plays in the second half, gave up too many
22:46
Speaker 1: rushing yards. You know, you're going into the game that
22:47
Speaker 1: you couldn't let Derek Henry get going. And honestly, it
22:50
Speaker 1: came down to that six yard run. Right, you go up,
22:53
Speaker 1: you go up, fourteen, You're in the fourth quarter, you're
22:55
Speaker 1: feeling really good about everything. Two plays letter, Derek Henry's
22:58
Speaker 1: in the end zone. Didn't do a great job of
23:01
Speaker 1: force on that play, and he gets outside and he's gone.
23:03
Speaker 1: Once he's an open field, he's gone. And then you
23:05
Speaker 1: compound that with a three and out. That's where the
23:08
Speaker 1: game shifted, right in that moment. If the Seahawks were
23:10
Speaker 1: able to put together a drive on that next one,
23:12
Speaker 1: you know, the game is still in hand, grind some clock,
23:14
Speaker 1: but to go three and out and then give them
23:16
Speaker 1: all back to the Titans, and it was just too much,
23:18
Speaker 1: and it was they paid for it. On the other side,
23:22
Speaker 1: Chris Carson couldn't get going, you know, thirty one yards
23:24
Speaker 1: isn't gonna cut it for a guy as good as
23:26
Speaker 1: him in a peakcre offense. What they want to do
23:29
Speaker 1: with Jane Walden. Everything is that running the football is
23:31
Speaker 1: a huge deal. And thirty one yards for Carson on
23:34
Speaker 1: our side and then allowing Derrick Henry go for one
23:36
Speaker 1: hundred and eighty just as big factors and why the
23:38
Speaker 1: Seahawks couldn't get it done on Sunday. Another reason why
23:42
Speaker 1: they couldn't get it done ten penalties for a hundred yards.
23:45
Speaker 1: That sounds like a team that is not disciplined. There
23:48
Speaker 1: was the taunting penalty, which I thought is I still
23:51
Speaker 1: think is bogus. There was a roughing the passer neutral zone,
23:56
Speaker 1: in fractions false starts. These are just mistakes that I
23:59
Speaker 1: just can't happen, especially during certain times of the game
24:02
Speaker 1: where it's crucial where you know that rough and the
24:04
Speaker 1: pastor was big. You get off the field, you're good
24:07
Speaker 1: to go. So they have to clean up their play
24:09
Speaker 1: and Pete Carroll spoke about that after the game. He goes, man,
24:13
Speaker 1: we just can't make those mistakes. You know, guys are excited.
24:15
Speaker 1: He wants his guys to be excited. He wants his
24:17
Speaker 1: guys to be aggressive, aggressive, but you have to do
24:19
Speaker 1: it within the rules of the game. Late in overtime,
24:24
Speaker 1: you're backed up to the one yard line. Here's the thing, though, right,
24:27
Speaker 1: They still had a chance to win the game. Yes,
24:29
Speaker 1: I mean they still had a chance. Yes, the Titans
24:32
Speaker 1: came back. They have there Henry guys, let's not forget.
24:34
Speaker 1: He's pretty good. They got Julio Jones, he's pretty good.
24:37
Speaker 1: They still had a chance to win the game. They
24:39
Speaker 1: were backed up late on the one yard line. I
24:41
Speaker 1: think the Halls got lucky with that non safety car.
24:43
Speaker 1: I looked at that play again. That was some home
24:45
Speaker 1: cooking right there. But we'll take it. We at home,
24:47
Speaker 1: We'll take it. They threw the ball three times late
24:50
Speaker 1: in overtime, and I think everybody it's a learning process.
24:53
Speaker 1: I think players are gonna learn how to handle themselves
24:55
Speaker 1: in these situations. I think coaches are gonna learn how
24:58
Speaker 1: to communicate with their players. And I'm a game plants
25:00
Speaker 1: in these situations, I'm not. I'm always looking for positives
25:03
Speaker 1: in these l's. But we just can't deny the fact
25:06
Speaker 1: that penalties and some decision making kind of hurt these guys. Yeah, man,
25:11
Speaker 1: And it's like you meant you hit the nail on
25:12
Speaker 1: the head that despite all of that furious come back
25:15
Speaker 1: by Titans, all the rush yards by Derrick Henry, the
25:18
Speaker 1: Seahawks defense gets a big stop in overtime. A penaltygue
25:22
Speaker 1: can kind of hurt the field position, but they ended
25:24
Speaker 1: up getting off the field. And typically anytime you have
25:27
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson is your quarterback and you're getting the ball
25:29
Speaker 1: an opportunity to win the game, you just expect to win.
25:32
Speaker 1: That is just He's done it so many times, time
25:35
Speaker 1: in and time out. So at that point, at that moment,
25:37
Speaker 1: I was like, no, they're gonna figure it out. They're
25:38
Speaker 1: gonna go in a crazy drive. We saw it a
25:40
Speaker 1: million times last year, We've seen it all throughout his career. Unfortunately,
25:43
Speaker 1: it couldn't get it done. And like we talked about, man,
25:46
Speaker 1: it's just one game. Just like we tried not to
25:48
Speaker 1: get too excited last week because it was just one game.
25:50
Speaker 1: National Football League, it's week to week. A lot of
25:53
Speaker 1: people get paid a lot of money to compete in
25:55
Speaker 1: this league, and it's it's like I said, it's one game. Disappointed,
26:00
Speaker 1: they're gonna get in the film room this week. Tell
26:01
Speaker 1: the Truth Monday, They're gonna hammer all that stuff out,
26:03
Speaker 1: and I expect him to bounce back big time in
26:06
Speaker 1: against the Vikings. Let's bounce back. We knew they weren't
26:10
Speaker 1: gonna go undefeated. Y'all knew they weren't gonna go undefeated.
26:12
Speaker 1: Let's just learn and move on, folks. All right, Seahawks
26:17
Speaker 1: fall to the Titans thirty three to thirty in the
26:19
Speaker 1: home opener and over time, tough game, but let's digest it,
26:23
Speaker 1: let's learn, and let's move on. It's been real. Thank
26:27
Speaker 1: you for joining myself and Nasa Choby. That is a
26:29
Speaker 1: Hawk Talk recap. We will talk to you guys soon.
26:33
Speaker 1: The Hawks are going to Minnesota to take on the
26:35
Speaker 1: Vikings and hopefully bounce back. We'll talk to you soon.
