Speaker 1: to Hawk Talk the recap edition. The Seahawks lost a
0:40
Speaker 1: tough one twenty eight to twenty three at lambeau Field
0:44
Speaker 1: to the Green Bay Packers. But like we always do,
0:48
Speaker 1: we're gonna bring in the big guy, Ray Roberts. Ray,
0:50
Speaker 1: how you doing today? Am all right? Man? Survived the
0:54
Speaker 1: snow slate ride home last night and the snow so
0:57
Speaker 1: that I was. I'm all good about that. Good. You
1:00
Speaker 1: gotta get rid of those low pro tires. May need
1:02
Speaker 1: a truck, yeah, I know it, right, I got behind
1:05
Speaker 1: a thick truck and just trailed it all the way
1:07
Speaker 1: to Woodville. Here we go, Hey, well, obviously disappointed loss. Um,
1:12
Speaker 1: the Hawks look like they might be able to pull
1:14
Speaker 1: out another miracle. But what do you learn about this
1:18
Speaker 1: team on Sunday? You know what? Like I've always had
1:23
Speaker 1: like an appreciation for Russell Wilson, but it's almost like, um,
1:28
Speaker 1: I kind of bought in even more to just like
1:31
Speaker 1: his way of thinking about competition, his way of thinking
1:35
Speaker 1: about training, his way of thinking about winning. Like sometimes
1:39
Speaker 1: you know people have, uh, you know these things that
1:42
Speaker 1: they do that that kind of prepared themselves mentally or physically,
1:46
Speaker 1: you know, emotionally whatever, and sometimes you're like, yeah, okay, whatever,
1:50
Speaker 1: just go play football. And uh but last night, for
1:54
Speaker 1: some reason, like all those things that he talks about,
1:57
Speaker 1: that that how he prepares himself for competition in games,
2:01
Speaker 1: Um I just had a new appreciation for it just
2:04
Speaker 1: because um because he in his mind wants to win
2:10
Speaker 1: the football game, no matter what the score is, no
2:13
Speaker 1: matter what point of the game it is, no matter
2:15
Speaker 1: how far down you are or uh, you know, what
2:18
Speaker 1: injuries you have or what have you. That was probably
2:21
Speaker 1: the most the biggest thing that that I kind of
2:24
Speaker 1: walked away from. The other thing was just um just
2:27
Speaker 1: needing to get some reliable weapons around him. You know
2:32
Speaker 1: that the injuries like really hurt the you know, not
2:34
Speaker 1: having the running backs and then the injuries along the
2:37
Speaker 1: offensive line, but also just that receiver DK came came
2:40
Speaker 1: along real nicely, Like I just like super impressed by
2:43
Speaker 1: that dude and the work that he put in. And
2:46
Speaker 1: then Tyler's Tyler. But you know, just having some more
2:50
Speaker 1: people that you can count on that can get open, uh,
2:52
Speaker 1: that he can get the ball too, so that he
2:54
Speaker 1: doesn't have to work miracles all the time. And then
2:58
Speaker 1: on defense, obviously there's some some spots that need to
3:02
Speaker 1: be tightened up and U you know, maybe the safety
3:05
Speaker 1: spots and things. But you know, with everybody healthy and
3:09
Speaker 1: another year together, I feel good about the weapons that
3:13
Speaker 1: they have there, especially they can get Clowney back. Everyone
3:16
Speaker 1: talks about Russell Wilson's grit and his resilience, which he
3:20
Speaker 1: is has both of those. But let's focus on Dwayne Brown.
3:23
Speaker 1: Let dude, that surgery three weeks ago and he's out
3:26
Speaker 1: there giving it all for his team. What did you
3:28
Speaker 1: see out of Duwayne Brown? I was just I mean again,
3:32
Speaker 1: you know, from the first time I met this dude,
3:34
Speaker 1: like honestly, just watching him getting his stance, I was like,
3:38
Speaker 1: all right, this dude is a real bullet, Like this
3:40
Speaker 1: dude is a man's man, just the way he just
3:42
Speaker 1: kind of settled into his stance, like with so much
3:45
Speaker 1: confidence and ease and just kind of like being there,
3:47
Speaker 1: done that, I know what I'm doing. But then to
3:50
Speaker 1: hear that, you know, he stood up in front of
3:52
Speaker 1: the team and just said, you know what, I'm gonna
3:55
Speaker 1: give you everything I have for this game, Like I'm
3:58
Speaker 1: gonna play and I'm gonna give you everything I have.
4:00
Speaker 1: And for the most part, like he was the same
4:02
Speaker 1: old Dwayne Brown, like he had to knock off a
4:04
Speaker 1: little bit of rust against some some really good pass rushers.
4:08
Speaker 1: But sometimes people don't understand what it takes to play
4:13
Speaker 1: this game and what people go through to get themselves ready,
4:17
Speaker 1: uh to perform, And so to have to play three
4:20
Speaker 1: weeks after surgery, knee still hurting, still swollen, uh, and
4:25
Speaker 1: a really cold, like it's it's even harder to keep
4:28
Speaker 1: that thing warm and and and and and uh moving
4:32
Speaker 1: in the cold. Uh, And then just say like, man,
4:35
Speaker 1: I'm doing this like obviously he's doing it for himself,
4:38
Speaker 1: but I'm doing this for you guys, Like I'm doing
4:40
Speaker 1: this because this is how much I care about this team.
4:43
Speaker 1: There's how much I care about Russell Wilson. It's how
4:45
Speaker 1: much I care about uh, you know, Quadred Days. This
4:48
Speaker 1: is how much I care about Pete Carroll. I'm going
4:50
Speaker 1: out there and I'm gonna give you everything I have.
4:54
Speaker 1: And so that's why at the end of this game,
4:57
Speaker 1: there were so many people like that like that just
5:00
Speaker 1: left everything on the field that it's really hard to
5:04
Speaker 1: read some of the tweets and things that people are
5:06
Speaker 1: saying about firing this guy, getting rid of this dude,
5:08
Speaker 1: or or this play, this player doesn't do this thing
5:12
Speaker 1: or whatever it is. It's like, man, you have no idea,
5:16
Speaker 1: just the the mental fortitude of the strength that it
5:20
Speaker 1: takes to say, I'm in pain and I'm still gonna
5:24
Speaker 1: go out here and give this this team every single
5:26
Speaker 1: thing I had. And that was de Rayne Brown, And
5:29
Speaker 1: that's pretty incredible. Yeah, I think fan bases kind of
5:31
Speaker 1: gets spoiled a little bit. I want to remind folks
5:33
Speaker 1: of two thousand and eight, two thousand and nine when
5:35
Speaker 1: I was on the team win four and twelve and
5:36
Speaker 1: seven and nine. So you know, the fact that these
5:40
Speaker 1: dudes were able to pull off twelve wins this season
5:44
Speaker 1: is amazing. I want to I want to ask you
5:45
Speaker 1: about Marshawn Lynn. She had two touchdowns last game. I
5:49
Speaker 1: wasn't really able to get the run game going. What
5:51
Speaker 1: do you think the problem was there? Was the running bags,
5:53
Speaker 1: was the injuries on offensive line? What we're seeing there.
5:56
Speaker 1: I think it's a combination of everything. I think, you know,
5:59
Speaker 1: bringing Sean Beck was like a great emotional lift for
6:03
Speaker 1: the team and then send him score touchdowns was pretty cool,
6:07
Speaker 1: but you were never thinking that he was gonna rush
6:10
Speaker 1: for one hundred and twenty yards on you know, thirty
6:12
Speaker 1: carries or something another like that. So, uh So, I
6:15
Speaker 1: think they got out of him what they wanted to
6:18
Speaker 1: get out of him, and then it was just just
6:19
Speaker 1: unfortunate that, uh in this game, I think there was
6:22
Speaker 1: an opportunity to run the ball, but the score kind
6:24
Speaker 1: of got away away from you until you just couldn't
6:27
Speaker 1: do the things in the running game that you wanted
6:29
Speaker 1: to do. And then also just the injuries on offensive line.
6:33
Speaker 1: I mean, you played, you know a lot of the
6:35
Speaker 1: season route, your starting center, Uh, your left guard was
6:38
Speaker 1: in and out and then Dwayne Brown was in and out,
6:41
Speaker 1: and then you're tight end. You know Will Disley who
6:43
Speaker 1: was really accomplished blocker. You don't have them either, didn't
6:48
Speaker 1: you didn't You're down also your running back. So I
6:51
Speaker 1: think as it relates to the running game and Marshall Lynch,
6:53
Speaker 1: I think they got out of him what they what
6:56
Speaker 1: they kind of thought they would get out of him.
6:58
Speaker 1: I think yesterday they probably wanted to giving the ball
7:01
Speaker 1: a few more times. But like I said, it was
7:03
Speaker 1: you know twenty one to three, you kind of kind
7:05
Speaker 1: of get away from the running game and get get
7:07
Speaker 1: the throwing the ball. But um, I was excited that
7:10
Speaker 1: he was back. You can tell the locker room was
7:13
Speaker 1: excited it was back. I think a lot of people
7:15
Speaker 1: have a lot of appreciation and thankfulness and and uh
7:18
Speaker 1: for for him being willing to come back and help
7:21
Speaker 1: the team that way. And then just like I said
7:23
Speaker 1: last night, some of the open mic stuff, you hear
7:25
Speaker 1: him talking to the young guys about you know, being
7:28
Speaker 1: ready or what you have to do, or or just
7:31
Speaker 1: taking him under his wing, like those types of things
7:33
Speaker 1: with you know, hearing some of the stuff that he
7:34
Speaker 1: was saying the Homer on the sideline. Um, I mean
7:37
Speaker 1: that stuff is invaluable. That's some stuff that'll that'll stick
7:40
Speaker 1: with those guys, you know, for a long time. So
7:42
Speaker 1: as an impact the last longer here with the Seahawks
7:45
Speaker 1: than his physical self. And so I think that's a
7:47
Speaker 1: pretty cool thing. Do you think he's going to be
7:49
Speaker 1: back next year? You know, in the back of my mind,
7:53
Speaker 1: like it's like, man, it'd be really cool to have
7:55
Speaker 1: him back. But then when I just think about it realistically,
7:58
Speaker 1: if you have h you know, Parson and Penny back,
8:02
Speaker 1: I'm not real sure what role he would play because
8:05
Speaker 1: he's not he's not going to be, uh, you know,
8:07
Speaker 1: a guy that just comes in, you know on third
8:10
Speaker 1: down and catch passes. Uh. And he said the way
8:13
Speaker 1: he runs the ball, he's more of a volume runner,
8:16
Speaker 1: you know, where he kind of gets going and and
8:18
Speaker 1: then you know in the third quarter when he's been
8:20
Speaker 1: pounded on everyone, then people are you know, are tied
8:23
Speaker 1: or tackling him. That's kind of when he kind of
8:25
Speaker 1: does his thing. So I'm not real sure like where
8:27
Speaker 1: he fits in. Um, it'd be cool to you know,
8:30
Speaker 1: if he was just you know, if he could be
8:32
Speaker 1: Marshawn and just be around the team. Uh, you know,
8:35
Speaker 1: you know, maybe kind of like Cam Chance word was
8:38
Speaker 1: while he was injured. But as far as a role
8:41
Speaker 1: as a player on the team, I just don't if
8:43
Speaker 1: you have all the pieces back, I'm not real sure
8:45
Speaker 1: how he fits in. So in true Seahawk form, we're
8:50
Speaker 1: moving forward. What does this team have to do to
8:53
Speaker 1: get better next year? In what positions should they address
8:57
Speaker 1: in the draft? Uh? Well, you know, I think you
9:01
Speaker 1: can still um find some offensive weapons on the outside.
9:06
Speaker 1: I still think there's there's another another receiver or two.
9:10
Speaker 1: I light, you know, the locket and uh dk Metcalf,
9:14
Speaker 1: but the other guys just I don't know, like they
9:16
Speaker 1: just sometimes they show up and sometimes they don't. So
9:19
Speaker 1: you need you need like some consistent threats right there. Uh.
9:22
Speaker 1: They'll be awesome having Disley back. So that's kind of
9:24
Speaker 1: like another draft pick and then of itself. Uh and
9:28
Speaker 1: then I think, you know, depending on what you do
9:30
Speaker 1: on defense with those uh, with the defensive line, like
9:32
Speaker 1: you need some people that can get after the that
9:34
Speaker 1: can get after the quarterback. Uh. If if Clowning's back,
9:38
Speaker 1: it'd be great to have him back, but it also
9:40
Speaker 1: would be great to have someone opposite him that can
9:43
Speaker 1: that can take the pressure off of him. Uh. And
9:45
Speaker 1: then that also opens it up for Read in the middle.
9:47
Speaker 1: So I think there's some different pieces you can add
9:49
Speaker 1: that way that kind of can help other people. So
9:52
Speaker 1: you know, adding another pass rush it helps Read and
9:55
Speaker 1: clown me if he's back, um, and then uh, and
9:57
Speaker 1: then just keep developing the offensive line like those guys. Uh.
10:01
Speaker 1: You know your parties, you know, older and beat up
10:04
Speaker 1: and flukers is the same way. But they have some
10:07
Speaker 1: good young dudes behind them, I think in in uh,
10:11
Speaker 1: Phil Haynes and Jamarco Jones. But just adding depth to
10:15
Speaker 1: that and then bringing in bringing more quality offensive lineman
10:18
Speaker 1: because you can see the drop off when we went
10:21
Speaker 1: from the starters to the to the second team guys,
10:24
Speaker 1: and so just adding depth to that to that spot,
10:26
Speaker 1: I think it will be important. Well. Ray sad to say,
10:30
Speaker 1: this is the last time we'll get on Hawk Talk together.
10:33
Speaker 1: Not the last time we'll talk, but the last time
10:36
Speaker 1: we'll be on the podcast together. Man, we have appreciated
10:39
Speaker 1: your insight all year. Thanks for taking time out. I
10:42
Speaker 1: love you, big man. Yeah, I appreciate it. Brou and
10:45
Speaker 1: not the last thing. I just want to say. It's like,
10:47
Speaker 1: it's it's a weird feeling to not have any more
10:50
Speaker 1: games to play, but to feel good about next year already,
10:53
Speaker 1: Like like, even like driving home, I could not find
10:56
Speaker 1: a reason to feel sad other than I'm not gonna
10:59
Speaker 1: be with the guys, you know, talking football anymore. But
11:02
Speaker 1: as it relates to the Seahawks, and I'm super excited
11:05
Speaker 1: about next year already because they have a lot of
11:08
Speaker 1: pieces and Russell Wilson. You know, you still have Russell Wilson,
11:11
Speaker 1: you still have Bobby Wagener, and kJ Wright played played
11:14
Speaker 1: really well this year. So I'm super excited about what's
11:18
Speaker 1: gonna happen, what they're gonna do in the draft, and
11:20
Speaker 1: the team they're gonna bring to the table next year.
11:22
Speaker 1: All right, twelve Big Gray is excited. Y'all should be
11:24
Speaker 1: excited too. Iologize peace. Alright, Moving right along, We're gonna
11:30
Speaker 1: get to our main takeaways. What did we take away
11:33
Speaker 1: from this game? First things First, Seahawks got dominated in
11:38
Speaker 1: that first half. NAS twenty one to three is kind
11:41
Speaker 1: of tough. And anytime you're on the road, you're at
11:43
Speaker 1: lambeau Field, it's cold, you can't get anything going, you
11:45
Speaker 1: can't stay on the field, you can't get stops. It
11:47
Speaker 1: looked pretty bleak. But as bad as it looked, we've
11:51
Speaker 1: watched this all season long with Russell Wilson, so you
11:54
Speaker 1: knew they were gonna find a way to get back
11:56
Speaker 1: in the game. You just wouldn't sure if they're gonna
11:58
Speaker 1: run out of time. Yep, just ran out of time.
12:00
Speaker 1: Another tech away. Russell Wilson took the game over in
12:03
Speaker 1: the second half. Tell the two half. First half, couldn't
12:05
Speaker 1: get nothing going. I think they were kind of giving
12:08
Speaker 1: the run game a true chance. Second half, they say,
12:10
Speaker 1: you know what, forget that Let number three be special,
12:13
Speaker 1: toss that thing all around the field and make plays
12:15
Speaker 1: with your feet. Well, you love seeing it too, because
12:17
Speaker 1: he was at that point where was like, no, I'm
12:18
Speaker 1: not siding. If I'm running, I'm getting the first down,
12:20
Speaker 1: I'm putting my head down, and you just you just
12:22
Speaker 1: love to see the grid and the toughness from him
12:24
Speaker 1: because he said, listen, we're not losing this game, and
12:26
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do everything in my power to get us back.
12:28
Speaker 1: And he did, Yes, he did another techaway. Davanta Adams man,
12:32
Speaker 1: I mean one hundred and sixty yards. I think you
12:35
Speaker 1: threw a STATUT mean, yesterday every catch he made was
12:38
Speaker 1: four first down Yes, I mean, what can you do?
12:41
Speaker 1: This guy is a baller. I mean it's tough, man.
12:44
Speaker 1: He was just an absolute backbreaker and he just I
12:47
Speaker 1: mean to have eight catches for one hundred and sixty
12:49
Speaker 1: and every single one of those go for first downs
12:52
Speaker 1: two touchdowns. I mean, he was just he was a
12:55
Speaker 1: difference in the game for the Green Bay offense. I
12:57
Speaker 1: think Aaron Rodgers was eight of nineteen for ninety three
13:00
Speaker 1: yards when targeting anyone else other than Adams, So he
13:03
Speaker 1: was a damn problem. Yeah, he definitely was a problem.
13:06
Speaker 1: The running game wasn't much of a factor yesterday. They
13:09
Speaker 1: gave it a chance in the first half. I think
13:12
Speaker 1: there was one series where Marshawn list touched the ball
13:15
Speaker 1: three consecutive plays. Really trying to give it a chance.
13:18
Speaker 1: Just wasn't happening. What did you see? It was tough
13:21
Speaker 1: because the series you're talking about eight yards on first down, yea,
13:24
Speaker 1: Then then I think you get one, and then you
13:26
Speaker 1: get and then you get no game and you have
13:27
Speaker 1: to punt and as good as Marshawn was because Marshawn
13:31
Speaker 1: is special. If you get him inside the five, he's
13:34
Speaker 1: gonna score. That is just who he is. And Ray
13:36
Speaker 1: mentioned it he is a volume runner, so he's a
13:38
Speaker 1: guy that needs twenty five carriers to wear people down.
13:41
Speaker 1: And when I thought of that series specifically, this made
13:44
Speaker 1: me think, Man, we really missed Chris Carson. Yeah, yeah,
13:47
Speaker 1: well felt him for sure. Another thing we learned man,
13:50
Speaker 1: Dwayne Brown, he's tough. We touched about it A touched
13:53
Speaker 1: on with Ray, like knee surgery. You had tools in
13:57
Speaker 1: your knee. Your knee was being operated him three weeks ago,
14:01
Speaker 1: and now you're out lambo, feel worse code giving it
14:04
Speaker 1: all you have. Dwayne Brown showed that hey, it ain't
14:07
Speaker 1: all about the money. He cares about this game and
14:10
Speaker 1: he cares about his team. He could have shut it down.
14:12
Speaker 1: Are you kidding me? This is a This is a
14:13
Speaker 1: twelve year that who's been there, done that in this
14:16
Speaker 1: league has to get knee surgery and did everything he
14:20
Speaker 1: could to come back. This man wasn't wasn't out there
14:23
Speaker 1: practicing running right. He took it up to game time,
14:26
Speaker 1: told the team the night before, hey, I'm gonna play
14:28
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do what I gotta do. And it didn't
14:30
Speaker 1: look like you could tell he was one hundred percent.
14:32
Speaker 1: But it wasn't like, oh my god, that's a sheol
14:34
Speaker 1: of Dwayne Brown. He was still out there, you know,
14:36
Speaker 1: mixing it up with everybody, keeping Russell Wilson upright, And
14:40
Speaker 1: there's you can't say enough about Dwayne Brown. I mean,
14:43
Speaker 1: that is a guy that you want on your football
14:45
Speaker 1: team and he just showed the leadership and everything about
14:48
Speaker 1: him is just unreal and well, people don't understand this.
14:50
Speaker 1: He's gonna feel this injury five years from now, six
14:54
Speaker 1: years from him, when he wakes up in that knee hurts,
14:56
Speaker 1: He's gonna think about Lambo. He sacrifices his well being
14:59
Speaker 1: for this ball team. People need to tip their hats
15:02
Speaker 1: off to Dwayne Brown. A last, but not least defensively,
15:05
Speaker 1: the Seahawks played much better in the second half, but
15:08
Speaker 1: just couldn't get the stops that they needed. Where do
15:11
Speaker 1: they go wrong and what do you think needs to
15:13
Speaker 1: change on the defensive side of the ball. It's tough, man,
15:16
Speaker 1: I mean, it's I said yesterday, it's the money downs.
15:18
Speaker 1: They they were not They could not get off the
15:20
Speaker 1: field on third down, and you know, sorry side Tangent,
15:25
Speaker 1: the Seahawks were right to punt the football on fourth
15:30
Speaker 1: in eleven. I'm gonna yell for the people in the
15:33
Speaker 1: back so you can hear me. That was the right call. Okay,
15:37
Speaker 1: you have three timeouts, a two minute warning. They made
15:39
Speaker 1: the right call, and honestly, it was just disappointing because
15:43
Speaker 1: you just wanted to see Russell with a chance to
15:45
Speaker 1: get the ball back again, and we just couldn't get
15:46
Speaker 1: off the feal the third down. I think Aaron Rodgers
15:48
Speaker 1: was like eight of ten or something like that on
15:51
Speaker 1: third down, and it was tough, man. I mean, Davante
15:53
Speaker 1: Adams killed us on a couple, yeah, the Jimmy Graham play,
15:56
Speaker 1: and it was just it was just bust rating because
15:58
Speaker 1: not only that, most of those third down were third
16:00
Speaker 1: and seven, they were third and long and we couldn't
16:02
Speaker 1: get off and that's definitely something that we need to
16:04
Speaker 1: we need to fix, you know, moving forward, whether it's
16:07
Speaker 1: getting more pressure on the quarterback and just finding ways
16:11
Speaker 1: to develop in the secondary. Outside of Shaquille Griffin, Quandry
16:14
Speaker 1: Dicks had unbelievable seasons. I think Trey Flowers had a
16:17
Speaker 1: really good season. This year, he kind of struggled down
16:20
Speaker 1: the stretch and it's just just figuring out ways to
16:22
Speaker 1: get better in the secondary. Yep, forget your analytics. Four
16:26
Speaker 1: to eleven. Come on, man, timeout, so let come on
16:29
Speaker 1: stop it. It's just ridiculous. That is I cannot even
16:32
Speaker 1: I can't believe that that was a conversation on social
16:35
Speaker 1: media and people talking about that. It just doesn't make
16:37
Speaker 1: any sense if you don't get it. It's first and
16:40
Speaker 1: ten from your own thirty six, Like, what are we
16:42
Speaker 1: talking about? Oh yeah, you gotta love it, you gotta
16:45
Speaker 1: love the Twitter folks. All right, we're gonna move on
16:47
Speaker 1: to top performers. We gotta talk about Russell Wilson twenty
16:50
Speaker 1: one a thirty one two hundred seven to seven yards,
16:53
Speaker 1: one touchdowns, let the team in rushing for the second
16:56
Speaker 1: straight game. This guy was always as usual. He made
17:01
Speaker 1: great decisions. I can honestly say this year, I've seen
17:05
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson make five bathrows. Maybe yeah, like oh oh,
17:08
Speaker 1: probably shouldn't have done that. But he's so responsible with
17:11
Speaker 1: the football in his hands. He makes great decisions. He
17:14
Speaker 1: has that never die mentality, and it was on full
17:17
Speaker 1: display last night. His ability to prolonged place and find
17:21
Speaker 1: something because green Bay defensively did really well their secondary.
17:24
Speaker 1: A lot of times when we were worried about the
17:26
Speaker 1: pass rush that we'd have the kind of more of
17:28
Speaker 1: a mass protect look or it's a two man route,
17:30
Speaker 1: and Russell did everything he could to keep place alive.
17:33
Speaker 1: And I think one of the green Bay defensive lineman
17:35
Speaker 1: was said compared to chasing a chicken around with no offense,
17:40
Speaker 1: saying they like they just that's how special Russell Wilson is.
17:43
Speaker 1: And he showed he's probably not gonna win the MVP.
17:45
Speaker 1: We know Lamar Jackson's probably gonna get that, but Russell
17:47
Speaker 1: Wilson showed that there's no one more valuable to their
17:52
Speaker 1: team than Russell Wilson. I don't think it's close in
17:54
Speaker 1: the whole league. Facts. Another top performer Tyler Lockett nine receptions,
17:58
Speaker 1: one hundred and thirty six yards in one touchdown. Love
18:01
Speaker 1: the stat line. What I liked the most out of
18:03
Speaker 1: Tyler Lockett was the emotion that he showed. You can
18:06
Speaker 1: tell this dude wanted to win this ball him ask Pete,
18:09
Speaker 1: I go, was it the playoffs or you know what
18:12
Speaker 1: got him going? They were they talking trash out there,
18:14
Speaker 1: and he said he just wanted to be a part
18:17
Speaker 1: of the game. He wanted to have an impact of
18:18
Speaker 1: the game. And he showed that. He stood up in
18:20
Speaker 1: front the team and told him he's going to give
18:22
Speaker 1: everything that he had and the kid balled out last night. Well,
18:25
Speaker 1: just the intensity, man, he makes a big play, gets
18:27
Speaker 1: him with the helmet, they don't call, he stands up
18:30
Speaker 1: and you know, I mean, I loved seeing the fire
18:32
Speaker 1: out of him. He is probably the nicest guy on
18:35
Speaker 1: this football team. But when it was game time, it
18:38
Speaker 1: was a playoffs. His vision a round playoffs. Tyler got
18:40
Speaker 1: out there and was a bad dude. And I just
18:42
Speaker 1: love to see the swag and the confidence out of him.
18:44
Speaker 1: And sir, next performer, Marshawn Lynch had twelve carries for
18:47
Speaker 1: twenty six yards, but he had two touchdowns. And with
18:50
Speaker 1: his two touchdowns, Marshawn Lynch has twelve career postseason rushing touchdowns,
18:54
Speaker 1: which is tied for fourthmost all times with Trell Davis
18:58
Speaker 1: and John Riggins. The guy scores forget the yards see
19:03
Speaker 1: and and if you taper your expectations. Anyone who thought
19:07
Speaker 1: Marshawn was gonna come out here and rush for a
19:09
Speaker 1: hundred yards and look like he did in twenty crazy.
19:12
Speaker 1: This is not real. He was brought here to do
19:15
Speaker 1: exactly this, short yard score touchdowns. The guy is still
19:19
Speaker 1: a tough you know what, Oh Mike inside the five,
19:22
Speaker 1: it's a rap. You're giving him the ball. You know
19:23
Speaker 1: he's gonna score. And I just love to see that
19:26
Speaker 1: vintage kind of takes you back memory lane to see
19:28
Speaker 1: twenty four bouncing off tacklers guys don't want touch him
19:31
Speaker 1: and get in the end zone and to see him
19:33
Speaker 1: get four touchdowns total and the time he was back
19:36
Speaker 1: in three in the postseason was great to see. So
19:38
Speaker 1: I asked Ray this, I'm gonna ask you. Do you
19:40
Speaker 1: think Marshawn Lynch is back next year? Oh? Man? Never
19:43
Speaker 1: say never? I guess right. I mean with a healthy
19:46
Speaker 1: running back corps. I mean it, it'd be hard to
19:48
Speaker 1: see to have four, but you never know, Man, I
19:51
Speaker 1: love to see twenty four again. It was and if
19:53
Speaker 1: he's not, it was just special to see that twenty
19:56
Speaker 1: four and have him run out of the tunnel again
19:58
Speaker 1: in the Seahawks uniform and just give us a little
20:01
Speaker 1: bit more of that Marshaw magic Man. Do you think
20:03
Speaker 1: they he's a ring of honor. I think they get
20:05
Speaker 1: to put the twenty four up there. Oh, I think
20:06
Speaker 1: they got you. I mean, that's that's a whole if
20:09
Speaker 1: that's a whole different podcast for all the members of
20:12
Speaker 1: this era of Pee Carroll. I mean, there's not enough
20:15
Speaker 1: room in the stadium, Michelle the ring of honor memories, man,
20:17
Speaker 1: because it's like where do you start drawing the line
20:19
Speaker 1: of all these talented guys that were instrumental in all
20:22
Speaker 1: these wins. So it's it's gonna be wild, but of course, yeah,
20:25
Speaker 1: no doubt, all right, moving on to the receiver round
20:28
Speaker 1: of like bench and Tyler Lockett had nine catches for
20:30
Speaker 1: one thirty six, one touchdown, a long of thirty one
20:33
Speaker 1: and he was flexing on him out there. Gotta love
20:36
Speaker 1: this is we mentioned this a couple of weeks ago.
20:38
Speaker 1: It's really weird where Tyler had one reception on like
20:41
Speaker 1: seven targets and like, that's not I love that we
20:43
Speaker 1: saw yesterday Boom ten targets, nine receptions. That's a Tyler
20:46
Speaker 1: Locket game. That's a Tyler Locket game. DK Metcalf had
20:50
Speaker 1: four catches fifty nine yards a long of twenty four
20:53
Speaker 1: efficient as well when it comes to the targeting receptions ratio,
20:56
Speaker 1: five targets four receptions. Might not have had the big
20:59
Speaker 1: game that he had in Philly, but he's still made
21:01
Speaker 1: some plays out there. Yeah, like you mentioned, he's improved
21:04
Speaker 1: so much this year, whether it's how he's catching the football,
21:07
Speaker 1: getting open, being a good possession receiver, running deep routes
21:10
Speaker 1: all he has a full route tree. Everybody. Okay, I
21:13
Speaker 1: think he proved that. Forget about the damn three cone drill.
21:16
Speaker 1: Love to see what he saw from Metcalf this year.
21:17
Speaker 1: Jacob Hollister had five catches on six targets for forty
21:21
Speaker 1: seven yards. Hollister did a great job this year, filling in.
21:24
Speaker 1: When you lose again, you lose dis Lee Van that
21:27
Speaker 1: is gone. Mike gets hurt and he's seen, he's forced
21:31
Speaker 1: to play. He's forced to play. I don't think they
21:33
Speaker 1: were planning on playing Hollister this year. No, Hollister did
21:36
Speaker 1: a great job. He wasn't on the roster to start
21:38
Speaker 1: the year. He was on the practice squad. For him
21:39
Speaker 1: to step in and have all the moments he ad
21:41
Speaker 1: Where was the game ringing touchdown in Tampa, The great
21:44
Speaker 1: performance he had of San Francisco and just doing everything
21:48
Speaker 1: he could. Man, because Jacob Hollister, he takes a beating
21:50
Speaker 1: out there, and he gets up play after play after play.
21:53
Speaker 1: So I love, love to see that from Jacob. Travis
21:56
Speaker 1: Homer had two receptions for twenty seven yards. Luke Wilson
21:59
Speaker 1: had one for eight um. I mean, I just I
22:03
Speaker 1: cannot stress just how proud I am of this group.
22:09
Speaker 1: You know, you got a rookie receiver in DK who
22:11
Speaker 1: knows what he's gonna do. You got the smallest one
22:14
Speaker 1: of the smallest receivers in the league, and Tyler Lockett
22:17
Speaker 1: balling out there. You got your fourth and third tight
22:20
Speaker 1: end out there, and Jacob Hollister making plays. I mean,
22:23
Speaker 1: almost every position took a hit except for the quarterback position.
22:28
Speaker 1: And because of that, you can put anyone out there.
22:31
Speaker 1: Russell is gonna allow them to flourish and put them
22:34
Speaker 1: in positions to succeed. So now we're gonna go to
22:37
Speaker 1: the coach's corner. We're gonna talk about the touchdown Russell
22:41
Speaker 1: Wilson through to Tyler Lockett. It was a seven yard
22:43
Speaker 1: touchdown and it came off of a twelve play eighty
22:47
Speaker 1: four yard drive and took up about six minutes, Ross
22:50
Speaker 1: takes it, slides through his right side, looking at the
22:53
Speaker 1: end zone, looking looking now, Tyler Lockett slams up all
23:00
Speaker 1: into the turf. If Russ gets outside and wait for
23:03
Speaker 1: his receiver to one cover in the back of the
23:05
Speaker 1: end zone from seven yards out, Seattle answers back to
23:09
Speaker 1: the answer of the Packers and it's twenty eighth sixteen.
23:13
Speaker 1: Now this play right here was was typical Russell Wilson
23:15
Speaker 1: and Tyler Lockett. Is a tight bunch formation to the left.
23:19
Speaker 1: The motion lock it over. It looks like Locker runs
23:22
Speaker 1: and out up. Russell gets some pressure from an interior
23:25
Speaker 1: defensive lineman, rolls outside the pocket, buys times a little pump,
23:30
Speaker 1: uses eyes to move the safeties, delivers a strike, and
23:34
Speaker 1: Misreliable sixteen gets up and slams the ball. It seems
23:38
Speaker 1: like he was trying to puncture the earth. And when
23:40
Speaker 1: he did it, Tyler Locket, I love it, Tyler Man,
23:43
Speaker 1: you love to see it. I mean, if anything describes
23:47
Speaker 1: the twenty nineteen Seattle Seahawks is a play like that.
23:49
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson scrambling, making a play, finding Misreliable, Tyler Lockett
23:54
Speaker 1: and spiking it down. Love it all right. So the
23:56
Speaker 1: best thing two words grits in perseverance. This team had
24:03
Speaker 1: a bunch of injuries, dealt with adversity and still found
24:06
Speaker 1: their way into the playoffs and still had a chance
24:09
Speaker 1: at the end of the season or a number one seed.
24:12
Speaker 1: With all all all the things that happened to the
24:15
Speaker 1: seat this year, this team is one of the most
24:17
Speaker 1: resiled teams I've ever seen. I mean, think about I mean,
24:19
Speaker 1: people really don't understand. You lose your starting center, lose
24:23
Speaker 1: your starting tight end, use your top running backs. You're
24:26
Speaker 1: losing your left tackle for a lot of time. You're
24:28
Speaker 1: losing guards from time to time. You lose your starting linebacker,
24:31
Speaker 1: Michael Kendricks. You lost a couple of safeties. Then Quandri
24:33
Speaker 1: comes in, then he gets hurt, so he's out for
24:35
Speaker 1: a couple of games. She killed Griffin, missed a couple
24:37
Speaker 1: of games. I mean, it has been unbelievable. And then
24:41
Speaker 1: you lost a couple other guys. Jared Reid started the year,
24:43
Speaker 1: We missed him, we lost Gordon, we lost Outwoods. We
24:47
Speaker 1: went through all this stuff this year and was still
24:50
Speaker 1: had the ball under four minutes with a chance to
24:53
Speaker 1: win the game and go to an NFC championship, And honestly,
24:57
Speaker 1: I can't as disappointed as I am, mainly because selfishly,
25:01
Speaker 1: like I love being around this team and doing what
25:03
Speaker 1: we do and be able to cover the team week
25:05
Speaker 1: to week. So I am disappointed and sad that we
25:07
Speaker 1: won't continue to go on, But I am so damn
25:11
Speaker 1: proud of this team. Words don't even describe. It's probably
25:14
Speaker 1: one of the proudest I've been over any Seahawk team,
25:17
Speaker 1: just for what they did to get to where they got. Yep,
25:19
Speaker 1: super proud of this team. If they're healthy, I believe
25:21
Speaker 1: they're playing last but not least. The future is bright.
25:25
Speaker 1: Twenty twenty is gonna be fun. They got they have
25:29
Speaker 1: pieces in place, and let's not forget who John Schneider
25:33
Speaker 1: and Pete Carroll lock Ye, they're gonna make some moves.
25:35
Speaker 1: They're gonna will, they're gonna deal. They're gonna get some
25:38
Speaker 1: guys in here to fill out a couple of voids.
25:40
Speaker 1: But big ups to the twenty nineteen Seattle Seahawks. No
25:46
Speaker 1: one picked you guys to do anything this year. You overcame, resilient,
25:51
Speaker 1: you fought through injuries. It was a heck of a run.
25:54
Speaker 1: It ended short, but it's all good as long as
25:57
Speaker 1: you got Russell Wilson, Bobby Wagner, kJ Right, j D.
25:59
Speaker 1: Gotta get clowney signs, you get those guys. I think
26:03
Speaker 1: this team will be fine and it's been real Thanks
