- 0:32Speaker 1: Nasa Chuby. Welcome into another edition of Hawks Hawk, this
- 0:36Speaker 1: time the preview edition looking at the seahawks next matchup
- 0:39Speaker 1: with the Carolina Panthers. Seahawks coming off a huge division
- 0:42Speaker 1: win against the Rams in LA. They're back in Looming
- 0:45Speaker 1: Field this week and hopefully trying to get the monkey
- 0:48Speaker 1: After're back and beat somebody from the NFC South. Yes,
- 0:51Speaker 1: I know that sounds weird, but it's been a tough
- 0:53Speaker 1: year in that division for the Hawks. So let's jump
- 0:55Speaker 1: right into it with on tap. What's untapped? These Panthers
- 1:03Speaker 1: mom four in eight, third place in the NFC South.
- 1:06Speaker 1: They've lost to the Browns, Giants, Cardinals, forty nine, Ers, Rams, Falcons, Mangles, Ravens.
- 1:11Speaker 1: They've also beat three teams Seahawks have lost two the Saints,
- 1:14Speaker 1: the Bucks and the Atlanta Falcons. How crazy is that? Man?
- 1:17Speaker 1: Is that weird? Yeah? Wow, that's weird. I saw that too,
- 1:21Speaker 1: and I go, Okay, New Orleans ran all over as
- 1:24Speaker 1: they beat them. Tampa Bay catches us a Munich on
- 1:26Speaker 1: the Jankie Field, they beat them. Atlanta Falcons. Was that
- 1:30Speaker 1: week two or three runs all over as they beat them.
- 1:32Speaker 1: But you know, we both beat the Broncos. So's there's
- 1:34Speaker 1: something in common too. Yeah, no, I'll take that. No,
- 1:37Speaker 1: that's just a weird thing. Especially you wouldn't think that
- 1:39Speaker 1: would not one of the stronger divisions in the NFC South.
- 1:42Speaker 1: But bump the Panthers. They're coming off a huge win
- 1:45Speaker 1: beating the Denver Broncos, like you mentioned after, they just
- 1:48Speaker 1: had a bye week. But it's been a weird year
- 1:50Speaker 1: for them this year. Coming into the year they signed
- 1:52Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield. A lot of people in Seattle wanted Baker
- 1:55Speaker 1: Mefield here he does not. He goes to Carolina winn't
- 1:57Speaker 1: starting job. Lots of reasons for up to miss him. Well,
- 2:01Speaker 1: it's not gone great over there since they start one
- 2:04Speaker 1: and four. They fired Matt Rule as head coach, They
- 2:06Speaker 1: fired the defensive coordinator, Phil Snow, special team's coach at fully.
- 2:10Speaker 1: Steve Wilkes steps in as the interim coach. You know,
- 2:13Speaker 1: they had an incident with Robbie Anderson on the sideline.
- 2:15Speaker 1: He's hell on the coaches. He gets sent to the
- 2:17Speaker 1: locker room. Boom, he gets traded the next week. Christian
- 2:20Speaker 1: McCaffrey gets traded with forty nine Ers and now Baker
- 2:23Speaker 1: Mayfield after losing his starting job, released on Monday. So
- 2:26Speaker 1: it hasn't been a great year for the Panthers, but bump,
- 2:29Speaker 1: they have won two of three, so things are kind
- 2:31Speaker 1: of starting to look up a little bit. Yeah, last
- 2:33Speaker 1: time they're on the field and they beat the Panthers.
- 2:35Speaker 1: That really took care of him. Man. They were up
- 2:38Speaker 1: twenty three to three in the fourth quarter. Sam Darnold
- 2:41Speaker 1: made his first start of the year. He was eleven
- 2:43Speaker 1: to nineteen, one hundred sixty four one touchdown, also had
- 2:46Speaker 1: a rushing touchdown. Didn't do anything crazy, right, This is
- 2:50Speaker 1: a solid game for that guy got Foreman who has
- 2:53Speaker 1: who had eleven excuse me, one hundred thirteen yards and
- 2:56Speaker 1: twenty four cares. He's had four games rushing over one
- 3:00Speaker 1: hundred yards. So you gotta look after that guy. And
- 3:02Speaker 1: Chubba Hubbard Is that how you say that name? That's
- 3:04Speaker 1: a name for you right here. Yeah, Chubba. He's from
- 3:06Speaker 1: Oklahoma State. He was in one. There was that incident
- 3:09Speaker 1: over the shirt that they wore with the head coach
- 3:12Speaker 1: mullet guy. Oh yeah, yeah, so that's that's chub Yeah,
- 3:16Speaker 1: so he can run the pill a little bit, all right,
- 3:18Speaker 1: Chubba Hubbard Man. He had sixty five on the ground.
- 3:21Speaker 1: Dj Moore, their best receiver, had four receptions for one
- 3:24Speaker 1: or three and a touchdown, and they dominated the time
- 3:27Speaker 1: of possession thirty seven minutes to twenty two. They wanted
- 3:30Speaker 1: to turnover battle and out getting the Broncos buy one
- 3:33Speaker 1: hundred yards. The parents of struggled for most of the season,
- 3:37Speaker 1: but they're playing some good football. Ads of late, you
- 3:40Speaker 1: beat the Denver Broncos got a hundred yard of rush
- 3:42Speaker 1: or Sam Donald takes care of the football For the
- 3:44Speaker 1: most part. They got Chubba and form him running that
- 3:47Speaker 1: rock Man. You gotta respect what you're seeing. Yeah, it's
- 3:50Speaker 1: been better too when you win two three, So definitely
- 3:53Speaker 1: got some confidence. They got some really good players that
- 3:55Speaker 1: we're gonna get into in the head to head man
- 3:57Speaker 1: man up. But when you look at the stats, obviously
- 4:00Speaker 1: for the Panthers, offensively, it's not great. They're tied for
- 4:03Speaker 1: twenty ninth in total offense a two hundred and ninety
- 4:05Speaker 1: one yards a game, seventeenth and rush offense one sixteen
- 4:09Speaker 1: in game twenty ninth, and pass offense won seventy four
- 4:12Speaker 1: yards per game points per game. They're twenty fifth at
- 4:15Speaker 1: nineteen point two. Defensively, they're middle shoo below average, nineteenth
- 4:19Speaker 1: in total defense giving up three hundred and forty eight
- 4:21Speaker 1: yards game, twenty fifth in rush defense giving up one
- 4:25Speaker 1: hundred and thirty five yards on the ground, and fourteenth,
- 4:28Speaker 1: and pass defense given up two hundred and twelve through
- 4:30Speaker 1: the air. They've got eight interceptions. They're actually minus four
- 4:34Speaker 1: in the turnover battle. That's tied for twenty six in
- 4:36Speaker 1: the league. So statistically, but I'm nothing about what the
- 4:39Speaker 1: Panthers are doing right now is going to jump off
- 4:41Speaker 1: the page. They do have some really good players, but
- 4:44Speaker 1: when you look at the numbers, it looks like the
- 4:46Speaker 1: Seahawks have the advantage in almost every category except total defense. Yeah, defensively,
- 4:52Speaker 1: these guys are better on the paper the gay some
- 4:54Speaker 1: guys over there, Brian Burns, I'm sure we'll talk about
- 4:57Speaker 1: him later. Defensively, that's where they're gonna hang their head on, right,
- 5:00Speaker 1: getting out the quarterback and running the football. So at
- 5:03Speaker 1: this point of the season, honestly, as man, I look
- 5:05Speaker 1: at the numbers, but I'm like, all right, whatever, man,
- 5:07Speaker 1: five games, gotta beat the Panthers. Starts right here. I
- 5:11Speaker 1: learned last week, man, never underestimate your opponent. The Rams
- 5:14Speaker 1: made it extremely interesting. Took a last minute drive for
- 5:18Speaker 1: Gina the guys to get it done. So I look
- 5:20Speaker 1: at the Panthers as another opportunity to get a game
- 5:24Speaker 1: and try to control your own destiny, no question about it.
- 5:27Speaker 1: It's the National Football League. Everyone gets paid. People show
- 5:30Speaker 1: up and now as clear as day of the last
- 5:31Speaker 1: two weeks really for the Seahawks. So we'll figure out
- 5:33Speaker 1: about that. But we're playing the Panthers. Let's know the history, No,
- 5:38Speaker 1: your history, Seahawks League, the all time series, ten to
- 5:41Speaker 1: four over the Panthers eight and three in the regular
- 5:43Speaker 1: season and two and one in the postseason. Now these
- 5:46Speaker 1: teams are not in the same division, obviously, but for
- 5:49Speaker 1: a while, it felt like the Seahawks played the Panthers
- 5:52Speaker 1: every season. From twenty twelve till now, the Seahawks have
- 5:55Speaker 1: played them nine times and this team hasn't played them
- 5:58Speaker 1: in two years, So that's nine matchups over a seven
- 6:01Speaker 1: year span. So you definitely got to know these Panthers
- 6:03Speaker 1: over the years for sure. Seahawks, in their mass matchup,
- 6:07Speaker 1: went down to Caroline and beat them thirty two twenty
- 6:09Speaker 1: four during the twenty nineteen season. This game was Pete
- 6:12Speaker 1: Carrolls one hundredth regular season win. Game's final score was
- 6:15Speaker 1: closer than the actual game was. The Seahawks were up
- 6:19Speaker 1: thirty to ten with seven minutes remaining in the fourth quarter,
- 6:22Speaker 1: scored on the opening three possessions. Panthers get a couple
- 6:25Speaker 1: of garbage time touchdowns. If you remember that game, I
- 6:27Speaker 1: believe Josh Gordon had that crazy fifty three yard fingertip
- 6:30Speaker 1: catch Russell Wilson's twenty twenty six two eighty six two
- 6:34Speaker 1: touchdowns lock it went for one twenty and a tudd.
- 6:37Speaker 1: DK had thirty six yards in a tudd. Bobby Wagner
- 6:40Speaker 1: had ten tackles, two pass defended, one I and T
- 6:43Speaker 1: and kJ Wright had his best game as a Seahawk
- 6:47Speaker 1: in the pass game with two interceptions on that one.
- 6:50Speaker 1: So hopefully we can channel some of that again because
- 6:53Speaker 1: the Seahawks definitely have to take care business to get
- 6:56Speaker 1: these Panthers. But before we get into that, we got
- 6:58Speaker 1: to figure out what happened in division what's the word?
- 7:05Speaker 1: And the Seahawks are the NFC West champs again, what's
- 7:09Speaker 1: the word? In the West? On hot talk? Those forty
- 7:14Speaker 1: nine ers are finding our ways to win ball games. Man,
- 7:17Speaker 1: They're eighty four at the top of this division, yet
- 7:19Speaker 1: the Seahawks right behind them at seventy five. The Colonels
- 7:22Speaker 1: are forty eight, and the Rams at the bottom of
- 7:24Speaker 1: this thing at three and nine. The Hawks are still
- 7:28Speaker 1: a game behind the forty nine ers. They possessed the
- 7:30Speaker 1: tiebreaker because of a week to win. But the Hawks
- 7:33Speaker 1: we need to take care of the Panthers to stay
- 7:35Speaker 1: in the race. Last week, the Dolphins played the forty
- 7:39Speaker 1: niners and it was their toughest opponent there. Dovis appony Man.
- 7:43Speaker 1: The forty nine Ers and the Dolphins were going into
- 7:45Speaker 1: this game. We're watching it. We're saying Lake Dolphins take
- 7:47Speaker 1: care of business, baps forty nine ers and allow the
- 7:51Speaker 1: Hawks to get a game on them. That's not what happened.
- 7:53Speaker 1: Man two have probably had one of his worst games
- 7:56Speaker 1: of the season. They lost thirty three to seventeen to
- 7:58Speaker 1: the Dolphins. Two was eighteen and thirty three two nine,
- 8:01Speaker 1: two touchdowns, but through three costly touchdowns and was sacked
- 8:05Speaker 1: three times. He also lost a fumble late in the
- 8:07Speaker 1: game that was running back for a touchdown. But it
- 8:09Speaker 1: did start good for two. He hit print Sherfield for
- 8:14Speaker 1: a seventy five yard touchdown on the first play from scrimmage.
- 8:17Speaker 1: You're feeling good thereout seven to oz. I'm watching the score.
- 8:20Speaker 1: I'm saying this is going to be the day that
- 8:22Speaker 1: Niners go down. But from then on the Niners were
- 8:25Speaker 1: in control. They had a twenty three to ten lead
- 8:27Speaker 1: heading into the fourth corner, but then two of found.
- 8:30Speaker 1: Of course, the cheated Tyreek Hill for a forty yard
- 8:33Speaker 1: forty five yard strife for a touchdown that made the
- 8:35Speaker 1: score twenty three to seven. Team the Dolphins would get
- 8:39Speaker 1: a stop of the next forty nine a drive, but
- 8:41Speaker 1: were unable to do anything with him. They turned the
- 8:43Speaker 1: ball over on down. The Niners said, look, thank you
- 8:46Speaker 1: for that gift. They scored two more times in the
- 8:48Speaker 1: fourth quarter to a sixteen point victory. Christian McCaffrey, one
- 8:54Speaker 1: of the biggest acquisitions during this season before the trade deadline,
- 8:58Speaker 1: has been great for the forty nine ers. He had
- 9:00Speaker 1: one hundred and forty six shards and one touchdown. But
- 9:03Speaker 1: it wasn't all good for the nine ers. Jimmy g
- 9:05Speaker 1: went down with a broken foot. He's going to hire
- 9:08Speaker 1: arm He's gonna miss the remainder of the season. They're
- 9:10Speaker 1: saying he could be back for the playoffs. We'll see
- 9:13Speaker 1: how that looks. So they relied on mister irrelevant, it's
- 9:16Speaker 1: what they call him. The last pick in the draft.
- 9:19Speaker 1: Rock Purdy stepped in. He was twenty five or thirty seven,
- 9:23Speaker 1: twenty teen yards, two touchdowns, one interception. It's all about
- 9:27Speaker 1: Purdy at this point. The forty nine ers have a
- 9:29Speaker 1: defense that will keep him in the game, but can
- 9:31Speaker 1: Purdy do enough offensively to put up points? Yeah, he's
- 9:37Speaker 1: the one I'm really convinced of because here's the thing
- 9:39Speaker 1: when a guy comes in off the bench, the other
- 9:41Speaker 1: team didn't watch a film on them, they don't really
- 9:43Speaker 1: know if to expect they had a game plan coming
- 9:45Speaker 1: in defensively, obviously, you can make adjustments ers that. It'll
- 9:48Speaker 1: be interesting to see as this season goes along, when
- 9:51Speaker 1: defensive coordinators and defensive staffs have film on this guy
- 9:54Speaker 1: and are watching him week to week. I mean, Zia
- 9:57Speaker 1: is about to play him in four you know, next week,
- 9:59Speaker 1: next Thursday, that's wh show down. So it'll be interesting
- 10:01Speaker 1: to see how he adjusts when the whole league has
- 10:04Speaker 1: filmed on them. Obviously, Kyle Shanahan's a great offensive coordinator,
- 10:07Speaker 1: so we'll figure that stuff out. But man, I was
- 10:09Speaker 1: hoping the Dolphins help us out to come on, take
- 10:11Speaker 1: care of the football. Two interceptions, a crazy bumble, come
- 10:15Speaker 1: on to uh. I thought you and Mike McDaniel had
- 10:17Speaker 1: things rolling down there. We need a little hell to
- 10:19Speaker 1: hurt me on this little man. I was just I've
- 10:21Speaker 1: never been a Dolphin fan my whole life until last weekend.
- 10:24Speaker 1: It just didn't work out. Yeah, I was disappointing, But
- 10:27Speaker 1: we'll see. Because if the forty niners they got the bucks,
- 10:30Speaker 1: which we know can be a tough opponent. Obviously, the
- 10:32Speaker 1: Seahawks next week, Commanders Raiders and Cardinals. So hopefully the
- 10:36Speaker 1: Seats statecare business against them the following week, but they're
- 10:39Speaker 1: gonna need the Bucks or the Commanders Raiders, somebody to
- 10:43Speaker 1: pop in and and help out with the matchup there.
- 10:46Speaker 1: But let's get back over to these Carolina Panthers. Man up?
- 10:51Speaker 1: Is this man up on Hawk Talk? Well, we're gonna
- 11:01Speaker 1: start at the quarterback position, which has been an interesting
- 11:04Speaker 1: up and down kind of seesaw battle there for the
- 11:06Speaker 1: Carolina Panthers. Right now it's Sam Darnold, but it definitely
- 11:10Speaker 1: has not been that way all season. Obviously, Baker Mayfield
- 11:12Speaker 1: goes there when's the starting job, Battling with Sam Donald
- 11:15Speaker 1: in camp. He started the first five games, didn't play
- 11:19Speaker 1: very well, then he heard his ankle, and there Panthers
- 11:22Speaker 1: were forced to go at PJ Walker at quarterback. Sam
- 11:25Speaker 1: Darnold was also on ir sidn't having their options there.
- 11:28Speaker 1: PJ was raddicked, did some things good, some things not
- 11:32Speaker 1: so good. He would start the next five games, and
- 11:34Speaker 1: even when Baker Mayfield came back and was healthy to play,
- 11:37Speaker 1: they continued to roll with Walker. Now Sam Darnold finally
- 11:41Speaker 1: back after ir was given a chance to start, and
- 11:44Speaker 1: he did against the Broncos a couple of weeks ago,
- 11:47Speaker 1: and it wasn't the best game out there, but you know,
- 11:50Speaker 1: it definitely was better than some of the quarterback play
- 11:53Speaker 1: they've had this year. He's waited a long ten months
- 11:55Speaker 1: to get that start, finally did. Looks like he's gonna
- 11:57Speaker 1: probably finish the year as the star in quarterback. Makefield
- 12:02Speaker 1: didn't really do anything that wold you. Thirteen hundred yards,
- 12:05Speaker 1: six touchdown, six interceptions. PJ. Tucker seven hundred and thirty
- 12:09Speaker 1: one yards, three touchdown, three picks. Sam Donald we mentioned,
- 12:12Speaker 1: you mentioned his stats earlier eleven and nineteen one sixty
- 12:15Speaker 1: four and one touchdown. And our guy like Stevens alum
- 12:18Speaker 1: like Stevens who won the state championship. Recently, Jacob Eeson
- 12:21Speaker 1: is playing a little quarterback for the Carolina Panthers. He's
- 12:24Speaker 1: gotten into a game this year, three or five or
- 12:26Speaker 1: fifty nine yards in one pick and Darnald bump. You
- 12:29Speaker 1: kind of know the book on him. Three year starter
- 12:31Speaker 1: with the Jets, thousand dumpster fire, he gets out of there.
- 12:34Speaker 1: I don't think all that was his fault gets into Carolina.
- 12:37Speaker 1: Didn't have a great year last year. Started eleven games,
- 12:40Speaker 1: two forty three for four or six twenty five hundred yards,
- 12:43Speaker 1: nine touchdowns at eleven interceptions Panthers four and seven in
- 12:47Speaker 1: those games. During his career, he has an eighteen and
- 12:49Speaker 1: thirty two record with games he started. He's never thrown
- 12:53Speaker 1: less than eight eleven interceptions in a season and has
- 12:55Speaker 1: never started more than thirteen games. So, you know, and
- 12:59Speaker 1: we have the whole scene ghost thing. I don't really
- 13:01Speaker 1: know about Sam donald Bump. We saw him at USC.
- 13:04Speaker 1: I thought he's a great quarterback coming out. I don't
- 13:06Speaker 1: really know what he is as an NFL player. He
- 13:08Speaker 1: hasn't been known to turn the football over, so it'll
- 13:11Speaker 1: be interesting to see. He's had a lot of different
- 13:12Speaker 1: coaches and a lot of turmoil on that side of it,
- 13:15Speaker 1: so it'll be interesting to see. But I do know
- 13:17Speaker 1: if the Seahawks need to get after him because he
- 13:19Speaker 1: will be prone to giving you the football. Yeah, it's
- 13:21Speaker 1: been a little, um, a little shuffling going on at
- 13:24Speaker 1: that quarterback spot over there in Carolina. But you know
- 13:26Speaker 1: where there hasn't been some shuffling over here in Seattle
- 13:29Speaker 1: with our quarterback Gino Smith versus the Panthers defense. Joe
- 13:35Speaker 1: continues to have a great season. He had three hundred
- 13:38Speaker 1: and sixty seven yards the last game. That's his fourth
- 13:40Speaker 1: game going over three hundred yards this year. That was
- 13:43Speaker 1: also his career high in passing yards in a single game.
- 13:47Speaker 1: That same game, he set a single season career high
- 13:49Speaker 1: in passing yards with three one hundred and sixty nine.
- 13:52Speaker 1: He has six trade games with multiple testdowns. That's the
- 13:56Speaker 1: longest streak in his career and longest streak in the NFL.
- 14:00Speaker 1: The season. He has ten games with multiple towndowns. That's
- 14:03Speaker 1: the most in the league right now. He has seven
- 14:05Speaker 1: of those games his first nine seasons. He also replaced
- 14:09Speaker 1: Seneca Wallace for eighth on the all time list for
- 14:12Speaker 1: passing touchdowns, passed yards, and completion. Gino now has twenty
- 14:18Speaker 1: two touchdown passes on the season. Twenty two of those things, man,
- 14:21Speaker 1: and he's leading in a bunch of categories. Leading are
- 14:23Speaker 1: nearly I should say he leads the league in completion
- 14:25Speaker 1: percentage seventy two percent. He's six when it comes to
- 14:28Speaker 1: passing yards. He's fourth when he comes to touchdown passes
- 14:31Speaker 1: twenty two he's second in BR ready one on eight
- 14:33Speaker 1: point seventies, fifth in QBR at sixty four point eight percent. Man,
- 14:38Speaker 1: this guy Gino is having a heck of a season.
- 14:40Speaker 1: He's taking care of the football, he's pushing it down
- 14:42Speaker 1: the field. We saw a forty yard reception last week,
- 14:45Speaker 1: forty yard and thirty six yard receptions, so they're opening
- 14:47Speaker 1: up that game. He's going up against the nineteenth ring
- 14:50Speaker 1: defense in this league, so we'll see how he fares.
- 14:52Speaker 1: But there's nothing I see so far this year to
- 14:55Speaker 1: make me think that he's not gonna have another fishing game,
- 14:58Speaker 1: no question about it, because at this we just have
- 15:00Speaker 1: to expect it. That is who he is. He's showed
- 15:02Speaker 1: me he's done it. He checked the final box with
- 15:04Speaker 1: the last minute, two minute drive. He's in everything he
- 15:07Speaker 1: can this season. So absolutely, Bump totally agree with you.
- 15:09Speaker 1: Expect nothing but greatness from number seven. Now, looking at
- 15:13Speaker 1: these running backs for the Carolina Panthers, Donta Foreman and
- 15:17Speaker 1: Hubba Hubbard going against the Seahawks front seven. The Panthers
- 15:21Speaker 1: have a seventeenth beth rushing attack in the NFL, going
- 15:23Speaker 1: at one hundred and sixteen yards per game. They're led
- 15:26Speaker 1: by former Texans and Titan running back Donta Foreman. Foreman
- 15:30Speaker 1: has already played more games this year than in his
- 15:33Speaker 1: five year career twelve, and he's also been putting up
- 15:36Speaker 1: really good number since the absence are Christian McCaffrey. He's
- 15:39Speaker 1: got you mentioned earlier. He's four hundred yard rushing performance
- 15:42Speaker 1: in the last six games on the year, one hundred
- 15:45Speaker 1: and twenty six carries, five hundred and sixty three yards,
- 15:47Speaker 1: four touchdowns. Most of damage has been recent, So he's
- 15:52Speaker 1: not a guy. I don't think he's Josh Jacobs. I
- 15:54Speaker 1: don't think he's some of the running backs the Seahawks
- 15:56Speaker 1: have seen this year. He's not, say Quon Barkley or
- 15:57Speaker 1: anything like that. But right now, again, it's not about
- 16:01Speaker 1: what the other teams are doing. It's about what the
- 16:02Speaker 1: Seaffs are doing, because they're still struggling stopping the run.
- 16:05Speaker 1: Last three weeks, if we're out six hundred and fifteen
- 16:07Speaker 1: yards rushing, gave up one hundred and sixty one in
- 16:09Speaker 1: the Bucks, two eighty three to the Raiders in one
- 16:12Speaker 1: seventy one to the Rams. The Hawks run defense looked
- 16:15Speaker 1: better against the Rams after a little bit of time
- 16:18Speaker 1: because they were getting gashed on the perimeter. Once the
- 16:21Speaker 1: Seaotts kind of made some adjustments that definitely slowed down,
- 16:23Speaker 1: but the damage was kind of done in the run game.
- 16:26Speaker 1: So the Seahawks are thirty first in the NFL giving
- 16:28Speaker 1: up one hundred and fifty five yards per game, and
- 16:31Speaker 1: it's got to stop somewhere, and it's got to start
- 16:32Speaker 1: somewhere night. It's a good week to start against the
- 16:34Speaker 1: Panthers right from the jump because that's one of the
- 16:37Speaker 1: main things they can do, and you cannot let them
- 16:39Speaker 1: run the football otherwise it'll get Sam Darnold have a
- 16:42Speaker 1: chance on this one. Yeah, you want them to be
- 16:44Speaker 1: forced to throw that football. We talk about all the
- 16:46Speaker 1: moving parts at that quarterback spots up. You can shut
- 16:49Speaker 1: down the run. I think you'll be fine. And you
- 16:50Speaker 1: got to look after this dude. Man. Brian Burns, the
- 16:53Speaker 1: number sixteenth pick in the twenty nineteen DRAB, is having
- 16:56Speaker 1: himself a year. Fifty three tackles, ten secs, one force fumble,
- 17:00Speaker 1: and two passes defended. His ten sacks are a career
- 17:03Speaker 1: high and it leads the team. Last week or the
- 17:07Speaker 1: last time they played, my guy got Player of the
- 17:10Speaker 1: Week for the Parents in the Week twelve win over Broncos.
- 17:12Speaker 1: In that game, he had two sacks, of force fumble
- 17:15Speaker 1: and he passed defended. He is eighth in the NFL
- 17:17Speaker 1: with twenty two secs. Over the last three seasons, only
- 17:20Speaker 1: one player from his draft had more sad than him, surprise, surprise,
- 17:24Speaker 1: Nick Bosa. So he's in good company right there. You
- 17:27Speaker 1: gotta know where this guy is at all time. And
- 17:29Speaker 1: also you gotta know where my fellow coog is Frankie
- 17:32Speaker 1: Luvu number two on the parents and sacks with four.
- 17:36Speaker 1: But here's a guy you gotta look after two not
- 17:39Speaker 1: as many sacks, but you know he can get it done.
- 17:40Speaker 1: So watch that guy. The Panthers are twentieth in the
- 17:43Speaker 1: league with twenty five sacks. It's got the same feel
- 17:47Speaker 1: of the Raiders game. Right. It's a team that has
- 17:49Speaker 1: a pack, a dominant passer, the team that doesn't have
- 17:52Speaker 1: a lot of sacks, the team with a bad record,
- 17:54Speaker 1: but the team that can beat you. So if you
- 17:58Speaker 1: add that run game with the pass rush from Brian
- 18:02Speaker 1: Burns and Louisville again, fear nobody respect everybody run the
- 18:07Speaker 1: ball and defensively, yeah, no question. You don't want it
- 18:09Speaker 1: to feel like the Raiders game. You don't want to
- 18:11Speaker 1: feel like Max Crosby, a guy who had a lot
- 18:14Speaker 1: of sacks and the rest of the team didn't have
- 18:16Speaker 1: a lot of sacks, and then he comes in there
- 18:17Speaker 1: and still is able to disrupt the entire game plan.
- 18:20Speaker 1: So let's not let Brian Burns right the game plan. Everybody,
- 18:25Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. Abe Luca is not gonna
- 18:27Speaker 1: be sick. Charles Cross is right there, so I know
- 18:29Speaker 1: the boys don't be ready, but let's continue that, not
- 18:32Speaker 1: have a game like the Raiders game and then flip
- 18:34Speaker 1: at yard side the running backs bump. I'm not gonna
- 18:37Speaker 1: say we got a problem. We just have some question
- 18:40Speaker 1: marks in that running back room for the Seahawks. We
- 18:42Speaker 1: know what happened last week. Ken Walker against his jammed ankle,
- 18:46Speaker 1: Travis Homer was out with an illness, and the little
- 18:49Speaker 1: Nice Brain DJ Dallas, Tony Jones Junior were goutting through
- 18:52Speaker 1: some injuries against the Rams. Pet Carroll talked about it today.
- 18:56Speaker 1: We're gonna have to wait and see, you know, ken Walker,
- 19:00Speaker 1: We're in wait and see for him. We don't know
- 19:01Speaker 1: his status is gonna be on Sunday. Travis Homer came
- 19:03Speaker 1: back from practice today, which is the positive. DJ Dallas
- 19:07Speaker 1: did not practice today, But we'll go and see how
- 19:09Speaker 1: the week continue. So I'm not sure who's going to
- 19:12Speaker 1: be playing running back on Sunday. Hopefully everyone's able to
- 19:15Speaker 1: come back. If the Seahawks have to dip into the
- 19:17Speaker 1: practice squad, Darwin Thompson and Godwin and book Bay is
- 19:21Speaker 1: both available for this team. So all I know, Bump,
- 19:26Speaker 1: is whoever's suited up on Sunday, let's run that thing.
- 19:30Speaker 1: Establish it can, keep it, keep it going, just not
- 19:34Speaker 1: make us one dimension on. The Panthers don't stop the
- 19:37Speaker 1: run very well. So whoever's running the ball that goes
- 19:39Speaker 1: in her favor the Panthers or just twenty fifth in
- 19:41Speaker 1: the National Football League at stopping the run. But at
- 19:44Speaker 1: this point, Bump, I'm just praying good health and Can
- 19:46Speaker 1: nine and the rest of those boys are ready to
- 19:48Speaker 1: play on Sunday. Yeah, ideally you want Can nine out there.
- 19:51Speaker 1: You need Dallas to back him up and then his
- 19:53Speaker 1: homer and there don't sell Tony man. Tony looked all
- 19:55Speaker 1: he had a couple of moments down and picked up
- 19:57Speaker 1: some key third downs, But you want your dogs out there,
- 20:01Speaker 1: two dogs who've been out there all year and who've
- 20:03Speaker 1: been balling, or DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett. They'll be
- 20:06Speaker 1: going up against Jac Horn in CJ. Henderson. Last week,
- 20:09Speaker 1: Lockett had a buck twenty eight in a touchdown. DK
- 20:12Speaker 1: had one twenty seven in the touchdown. It was the
- 20:15Speaker 1: first time two different sehowks have gone I've had one
- 20:17Speaker 1: hundred yards Stephen in the same game since they did
- 20:20Speaker 1: it in Week three of twenty twenty. These guys should
- 20:23Speaker 1: both go over a thousand yards. So far on the season,
- 20:29Speaker 1: Tyler Locket had sixty six receptions, eight hundred and though
- 20:31Speaker 1: six yards and seven touchdown. Locket needs one touchdown to
- 20:34Speaker 1: set a franchise record with their receiving touchdown in six
- 20:37Speaker 1: consecutive games and Quiet five six games in a row.
- 20:40Speaker 1: But that's what Locket does defending these guys. You got
- 20:43Speaker 1: the number eight overall pick in the twenty twenty one JABT.
- 20:46Speaker 1: JC Horn out of South Carolina only played three games
- 20:50Speaker 1: his rookie season because a foot injury. In ten games
- 20:52Speaker 1: this SEO, he has thirty eight tackles, two interceptions, and
- 20:55Speaker 1: five passes defended. The other corner is CJ. Henderson. He's
- 21:00Speaker 1: a former overall number nine pick in the twenty twenty
- 21:03Speaker 1: draft to Jacksonville. This season, he has forty eight tackles,
- 21:06Speaker 1: one intercession, three passes defended. These are young corners, man.
- 21:09Speaker 1: They were drafted highly for a reason because they can
- 21:12Speaker 1: both play. And that's what happens. When we don't win
- 21:15Speaker 1: a lot of games, you get some high draft picks.
- 21:16Speaker 1: But that's between Jacksonville and the Panthers. All right, we
- 21:18Speaker 1: don't we don't have those problems. Hopefully we get a
- 21:20Speaker 1: high draft pick this year because someone else ain't having
- 21:23Speaker 1: hit good season. These Panthers are fourteenth against the pass.
- 21:26Speaker 1: To give up two twelve per game. Now all he
- 21:30Speaker 1: has to do is average one hundred and seventy yards
- 21:32Speaker 1: per game for the rest of the season, and he
- 21:34Speaker 1: goes over four thousand yards. Let's go ahead and get
- 21:36Speaker 1: like three hundred this game and with that bump. I
- 21:38Speaker 1: will take that any day of the week if anyone
- 21:41Speaker 1: can do it. So I got Geno Smith And that's
- 21:44Speaker 1: a good segue to see how we're gonna win this game.
- 21:46Speaker 1: Pat the victory after forty five waits for the staff,
- 21:51Speaker 1: Michael Dickson puts it down. That kick is away. If
- 21:54Speaker 1: that kick is good good gets a pass to victory
- 22:00Speaker 1: on Hawk Talk. For me, Mom, it's about stopping the run.
- 22:03Speaker 1: This is the top priority for the Seahawks and prove
- 22:06Speaker 1: they can get it done and get it done consistently.
- 22:08Speaker 1: They've done it at time this year. They did a
- 22:10Speaker 1: great job at during the four game win streak. They've
- 22:13Speaker 1: had some success last week, but right now it needs
- 22:16Speaker 1: They need to get it figured out. They need to
- 22:17Speaker 1: shure up stuff on the edge, and they need to
- 22:20Speaker 1: be able to do this consistently if they stop the run,
- 22:22Speaker 1: especially in the team that's had so much turmail on offense,
- 22:25Speaker 1: so much turmoil throughout everything with the quarterbacks and that
- 22:28Speaker 1: coaches and all that stuff. Don't let them run the football,
- 22:31Speaker 1: make them one dimensional. And I think the Seahawks can
- 22:33Speaker 1: win this game and win big. And let's make Sam
- 22:36Speaker 1: don't look like the guy that we know all love
- 22:38Speaker 1: you said, my man hasn't grown less than eleven interceptions
- 22:42Speaker 1: when he's the main start on the football team. I
- 22:45Speaker 1: smell one or two coming on. Let's go ahead and
- 22:47Speaker 1: let t Woo get in front of the league and
- 22:50Speaker 1: lead the league and interceptions he's tied right now when
- 22:52Speaker 1: numbers with six of them and let's go ahead and
- 22:54Speaker 1: get Quandrey get number three. If he gets number three,
- 22:56Speaker 1: that's something like like five seasons in a row with
- 22:58Speaker 1: at least three interceptions, something easy like that. So let's
- 23:01Speaker 1: make Sam Darnold be the guy that we know. And
- 23:03Speaker 1: on the flip side, let's protect our quarterback. I mentioned
- 23:06Speaker 1: Brian Burns, he's our best pass rusher. He can't be
- 23:09Speaker 1: at Max Crosby. Max Crowsby came in and direct stuff.
- 23:12Speaker 1: I'm gonna give him my boy abe, but pass because
- 23:15Speaker 1: he was sick. All right, we all know how it
- 23:17Speaker 1: is to play sick. But we need this defense, this
- 23:19Speaker 1: Panther defense, to look pedestrian, to look at mediocre, or
- 23:23Speaker 1: just make it happen. Absolutely bum couldn't have said it
- 23:26Speaker 1: better than myself. And take care of business, man, take
- 23:29Speaker 1: care of business against the teams you're supposed to be
- 23:31Speaker 1: you're at home, you're at Looming Field. You're not supposed
- 23:33Speaker 1: to lose their The Seahawks need to continue to channel
- 23:36Speaker 1: all the energy from the twelves. Take care of business
- 23:39Speaker 1: and get the Panthers and then get ready for that
- 23:41Speaker 1: huge showdown on Thursday night football against in San Francisco
- 23:44Speaker 1: forty nine ers, but we're not looking past to anybody.
- 23:46Speaker 1: Seahoustet the Panthers on Sunday kickoffs at one twenty five.
