0:35
Speaker 1: of twelve. This is Hawk Talk Preview edition, Week seven.
0:37
Speaker 1: I'm Michael Bumps along with Nasa chobying. Like we usually do,
0:41
Speaker 1: Let's check out the injury updates before we get into
0:43
Speaker 1: this thing. Thanks bump Well. Bad news. Safety lanham Hill
0:47
Speaker 1: was placed on injured reserve with a back injury that's
0:50
Speaker 1: kept him out the past three games. Filling a spot
0:52
Speaker 1: will be veteran safety to Marius Randall. Now, Randall, you
0:55
Speaker 1: guys will remember it was activated the last two weeks
0:57
Speaker 1: from the practice squad and was active in the last
0:59
Speaker 1: two all games, but now has an official spot on
1:01
Speaker 1: the fifty three man roster. The Seahawks also added a
1:04
Speaker 1: pair of veteran linebackers to the practice squad, signing Michael Kendricks,
1:08
Speaker 1: a fourteen game starter for the Seahawks last season, and
1:11
Speaker 1: Ray Ray Armstrong, an eight year veteran who's appeared in
1:13
Speaker 1: eighty four games during his career. Now, in terms of
1:16
Speaker 1: the other injuries, the Seahawks are in relatively good shape
1:19
Speaker 1: when it comes to that. The bye week definitely helped
1:21
Speaker 1: out on that front. So Pete Carroll's up to the
1:23
Speaker 1: podium and provided some updates on the status of Jordan
1:26
Speaker 1: Brooks as well as Jamal Adams. Jordan is that practice.
1:30
Speaker 1: We'll be at practice today and Jamal will hold out.
1:34
Speaker 1: We need more information there so and each one of
1:37
Speaker 1: these are just one day at a time, see what happens,
1:39
Speaker 1: and then see what happens the next day. Guys, you return,
1:42
Speaker 1: so we won't really know anything till later in the week.
1:45
Speaker 1: What more information are you seeking regarding Jamal's injury? Well,
1:49
Speaker 1: whether he's full speed or not? All right, Bobbin, Before
1:51
Speaker 1: we get going, just a reminder The Pete Carroll Show
1:54
Speaker 1: on Cairo Radio on seven ten ESPN your home for
1:56
Speaker 1: the Seattle Seahawks and the Pete Carroll Show Here from
1:59
Speaker 1: the Seahawks head coach on KIRO Radio Blue Fridays at
2:02
Speaker 1: eight fifteen and twelve fifteen, and don't miss Pete Carroll
2:04
Speaker 1: on seven ten ESPN Seattle at nine thirty the morning
2:08
Speaker 1: after the game with Danny and Gallant and Michael Bumpus.
2:11
Speaker 1: But it is week seven and the Seahawks got the
2:13
Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals coming up. Who's nets, Who's nets? Who's next?
2:24
Speaker 1: It is the Arizona Cardinals. There are four and two,
2:26
Speaker 1: second place place in the NFC West. Now they have
2:30
Speaker 1: wins against San Francisco Week one, the Washington football Team
2:33
Speaker 1: Week two, couple losses in between to the Carolina Panthers
2:37
Speaker 1: and Detroit Lions, and then finish it off with the
2:40
Speaker 1: Jets in the Dallas nas. I look at this schedule
2:42
Speaker 1: and I'm like, are there wins and losses? That first
2:45
Speaker 1: week against San Fran. We're like, oh, man, Arizona Cardinals,
2:47
Speaker 1: they might be nice. They beat San Fran and then
2:50
Speaker 1: you kind of look where San Fran is now, there's
2:52
Speaker 1: a They stumbled a bit towards the middle of their
2:55
Speaker 1: their schedule. The first five or six games, But the
2:57
Speaker 1: last game they seem like they're getting back on track.
3:00
Speaker 1: How do you feel about that win? Is that an
3:01
Speaker 1: impressive win to you? That that Niners game? I mean,
3:05
Speaker 1: looking at it now, the Niners were three and three.
3:08
Speaker 1: The first one, actually, I still think was an impressive
3:10
Speaker 1: win because that was before the Niners completely fell off
3:12
Speaker 1: the wagonwell those injuries. That was before everyone went down.
3:15
Speaker 1: That was before Bosa went down, Thomas went down, Sherman
3:18
Speaker 1: went down, Kittle was gone for a little bit of
3:20
Speaker 1: time before Garoppa went down. So it was a good
3:22
Speaker 1: start for them. So I still value that win. The
3:24
Speaker 1: Washington football team, the NFC East is a dumpster file.
3:28
Speaker 1: I'll just call it like it is, So that's not
3:31
Speaker 1: a great win. Detroit has been struggling, so that's actually
3:33
Speaker 1: a bad loss. Carolina is okay, they're kind of the
3:35
Speaker 1: middle of the pack of the NFC. The Jets are
3:38
Speaker 1: what they are. But bomb Man Monday night was an
3:42
Speaker 1: absolute beat down against Dallas for sixty minutes all game long. Yeah.
3:49
Speaker 1: The shotgun formation is Kyler Murray. It was the number
3:52
Speaker 1: one overall pick out of Oklahoma at his own twenty.
3:56
Speaker 1: There's the snap fake candoff props back further, got up
4:00
Speaker 1: from the center, winds up, long pass always got Kirk
4:02
Speaker 1: comet catch to the forty. Come remember it's the thirty
4:05
Speaker 1: chase to the twenty to ten to five touchdown Arizona
4:11
Speaker 1: eighty yard bomb. What I catch? Christian Kirk takes it
4:17
Speaker 1: to the house. Emma, Cardinals are stunning the Cowboys twenty
4:23
Speaker 1: to nothing. Now that was an adyr bomb. Nice play,
4:27
Speaker 1: Kyla Murray drops a dime. But it was really all
4:30
Speaker 1: about to turnovers this game. The Cowboys had four two
4:33
Speaker 1: interceptions and two fumbles by Ezekiel Elliott. And when you
4:38
Speaker 1: turn the ball over, you just put your offense, your
4:40
Speaker 1: whole team, and just your defense. You're offen, your special teams.
4:42
Speaker 1: Everyone is put in compromising situations. Cowboys, can that execute
4:47
Speaker 1: at all? You got Andy Dalton in the game. I
4:50
Speaker 1: heard somebody say, I'm not even gonna say his name,
4:52
Speaker 1: but someone who has a big voice on ESPN set
4:54
Speaker 1: that they might be better with Andy Dalton. And I
4:56
Speaker 1: might have texted you, I might have tweeted about it,
4:59
Speaker 1: and I'm just like, you must be crazy. I mean,
5:03
Speaker 1: come on, now, come on. Dak Prescott was playing at
5:07
Speaker 1: i mean, not quite the level Russell was, but he
5:09
Speaker 1: was right there. He was in the MVP conversation how
5:11
Speaker 1: well he was playing. That's a joke. I mean, here's
5:13
Speaker 1: the deal. Any Dalton is not a terrible quarterback. He
5:16
Speaker 1: was good in Cincinnati for a certain nutt of years,
5:18
Speaker 1: got them to the playoffs all you know, five years
5:20
Speaker 1: in a row. So this isn't a knock on any Dalton.
5:22
Speaker 1: This is more about are you kidding me? Dak Prescott
5:25
Speaker 1: is their franchise quarterback and they are not the same
5:28
Speaker 1: team without him. And it showed on Monday night. It
5:32
Speaker 1: showed on Monday night. Here's the drive chart Cowboys punt punt, fumble, fumble, punt,
5:37
Speaker 1: field goal interception, missfield goal interception, touchdown, and then turnover
5:42
Speaker 1: on downs. They just couldn't get anything going. And Kyler
5:45
Speaker 1: Murdy didn't even play his best game. Nine to twenty four,
5:48
Speaker 1: one hundred eighty eight yards, two passing touchdowns, ran for
5:51
Speaker 1: seventy four yards, had one rushing touchdown. This guy has
5:54
Speaker 1: six rushing touchdowns in the league. I believe that second
5:58
Speaker 1: Kyler didn't play his best game, yet they smack down
6:00
Speaker 1: the Cowboys, no, no question about it. And the thing
6:02
Speaker 1: about it too is like, when you can beat a
6:05
Speaker 1: team thirty eight to ten, when you're starting quarterback goes
6:07
Speaker 1: nine to twenty four, I mean you're doing something right.
6:10
Speaker 1: And the Cowboys they had four turnovers, they really should
6:12
Speaker 1: have had five. They dropped in interception late, So I
6:15
Speaker 1: mean it was just a beat down from start to finish.
6:17
Speaker 1: But the one question out for you is do you
6:19
Speaker 1: think what we saw on that game was more about
6:21
Speaker 1: Arizona making plays and taking that game, or more about
6:24
Speaker 1: Dallas is shooting himself in the foot and not getting
6:26
Speaker 1: out of their own way. It was more about Dallas.
6:30
Speaker 1: You fumbled the ball twice. Ezekiel Elliott, he's the one
6:33
Speaker 1: who's supposed to kind of leave the charge now that
6:35
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott has gone. He fumbles the ball twice, you're
6:38
Speaker 1: setting yourself up a failure. And then just Andy Dalton,
6:41
Speaker 1: he was forced to throw the ball a bunch of
6:43
Speaker 1: times because they were down. I just don't think he
6:45
Speaker 1: was ready for this moment. I don't think he's a
6:47
Speaker 1: bad quarterback. I just don't think he was ready. Kenyan
6:50
Speaker 1: Drake he balled out though he had one hundred and
6:51
Speaker 1: sixty four rushing yards on twenty carries and two touchdowns,
6:54
Speaker 1: one win for sixty nine yards. I had to look
6:57
Speaker 1: this up. These guys are like top five I've been
7:00
Speaker 1: rushing in the NFL this year. I didn't realize the
7:02
Speaker 1: Cardinals were running the ball that well this year. Well
7:04
Speaker 1: that's the thing. No one would think about that. With
7:05
Speaker 1: Cliff Kingsbury as your head coach and what they do,
7:07
Speaker 1: and coming from the air raid background in Texas tack
7:10
Speaker 1: and Mike Leash and all that stuff, you never think
7:11
Speaker 1: about running the football. But they can run the pill now.
7:13
Speaker 1: I mean their offense to their total offense is they're
7:16
Speaker 1: getting four hundred and two yards games, so their fifth
7:18
Speaker 1: in the NFL in total offense and then their fourth,
7:20
Speaker 1: like you mentioned, in rush offense, getting one hundred and
7:23
Speaker 1: sixty one yards on the ground player game. And obviously
7:25
Speaker 1: that's Kenyan Drake and it's also Kyler Murray doing his
7:27
Speaker 1: thing on the ground. Kyler Murray doing his thing, he
7:30
Speaker 1: is dangerous. I was on Danny and Gallant and I
7:32
Speaker 1: made a bull statement. I say, man, Kyler might be
7:34
Speaker 1: the most talented quarterback in the league, not the best,
7:37
Speaker 1: not stat wise. I'm looking at the way he runs
7:40
Speaker 1: in his arm. I asked Brock heward, he goes, Nah, Bob,
7:43
Speaker 1: I don't think so, but I can see why you
7:44
Speaker 1: could think that he scares me. I'm like, look, he can.
7:47
Speaker 1: When it comes to running the ball as a quarterback,
7:49
Speaker 1: Lamar is the best, right whose second? It has to
7:52
Speaker 1: be Kyler Murray. When it comes to arm strength and
7:54
Speaker 1: armed talent, obviously Pat Mahomes is the best. But I
7:57
Speaker 1: think Kyler can throw any any route, any ball on
8:00
Speaker 1: the football field. He can get it done too. There
8:02
Speaker 1: are guys who have strong arms. I just look at
8:04
Speaker 1: what he presents, and it's going to be a challenge.
8:07
Speaker 1: You have to contain this guy. Like I mentioned, he
8:09
Speaker 1: has six rushing touchdowns as a quarterback. They have design
8:12
Speaker 1: runs for this dude. You have to rally to the football.
8:15
Speaker 1: You have to wrap this guy up. No, Kyler, And
8:19
Speaker 1: the thing about it that scares you was, like you said,
8:21
Speaker 1: he might not be playing consistent football at the moment
8:24
Speaker 1: every week to week, but his talent, his skill set,
8:27
Speaker 1: and it's his burst too. I mean when you watch
8:28
Speaker 1: him run the football, I mean when he gets out,
8:30
Speaker 1: he put his foot in the ground and goes it's
8:32
Speaker 1: it's a long time. It's a long day for your defense.
8:34
Speaker 1: You might need to have a QB spy to try
8:36
Speaker 1: to keep him in chat. Kind of reminds you of
8:37
Speaker 1: a young Russell Wilson in twenty twelve, thirteen fourteen. So
8:40
Speaker 1: Kyler is definitely fun to watch. I just look at
8:43
Speaker 1: a couple of these numbers. Total defense, the Cardinals are thirteenth,
8:46
Speaker 1: the Hawks are thirty second. Rush defense, the Hawks are seventh,
8:50
Speaker 1: the Arizona Cardinals are seventeen. This is where the Hawks
8:53
Speaker 1: have to shine again. They have to be the seventh
8:56
Speaker 1: ranked rush defense in the NFL to contain these guys.
8:59
Speaker 1: And we didn't even mentioned the guys on outside and
9:01
Speaker 1: he still got Hopkins out there. Isabella Kirk I said,
9:05
Speaker 1: I think I tweeted the other day that they might
9:07
Speaker 1: have the fastest receiving corps in the NFL with them. Obviously,
9:11
Speaker 1: Twitter claps back and they're like, hold on, above, you
9:12
Speaker 1: still got DK four to three, you got locking for four,
9:15
Speaker 1: you have doors set four to three. I'm all right, okay,
9:18
Speaker 1: but they are definitely definitely in the conversation now. Penalties.
9:23
Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals are the most penalized team in the NFL.
9:27
Speaker 1: They need to keep that rolling. Photies Hawks. Yeah, they've
9:29
Speaker 1: been penalized fourteen nine times this year for three hundred
9:33
Speaker 1: and sixty eight yards. And you know, typically over the years,
9:36
Speaker 1: even as good the best team's Pete Carroll had, the
9:38
Speaker 1: Seahawks have usually been a pretty high penalized team. This year,
9:41
Speaker 1: they're about middle of the pack. They only got twenty
9:43
Speaker 1: three penalties for one hundred and sixty nine yards, and
9:45
Speaker 1: I think you can chalk that up to a lot
9:47
Speaker 1: of fewer penalties on the offensive line than we've had
9:49
Speaker 1: in past years. Hey, they're cleaning they're cleaning it up.
9:52
Speaker 1: All right, Let's get to know this team versus Seahawks
9:56
Speaker 1: and know your history. No your history. So these teams
10:01
Speaker 1: have a long history together. This is going to be
10:03
Speaker 1: the forty third meeting between two clubs. Seahawks narrowly holding
10:07
Speaker 1: that lead advantage twenty one to twenty and one. I
10:10
Speaker 1: hate that stupid one because I remember that tie that
10:13
Speaker 1: Sunday night football game in twenty sixteen, because it just
10:15
Speaker 1: ruins all the record books and it's always gonna be there,
10:18
Speaker 1: but it happened. But honestly, it's about the road team
10:21
Speaker 1: in this matchup. So Seattle has not lost at Arizona
10:24
Speaker 1: since twenty twelve, Russell Wilson's first career game. So they
10:28
Speaker 1: hold a six zero and one record in the last
10:30
Speaker 1: seven meetings in Phoenix. Unfortunately, on the flip side, Arizona
10:34
Speaker 1: is somehow one of the few teams has consistently found
10:37
Speaker 1: success up in Seattle, carrying a five and two record
10:40
Speaker 1: in its last seven trips the Pacific Northwest. That's odd.
10:44
Speaker 1: They were one of the few teams them in the
10:46
Speaker 1: Rams are the few teams that come in here. They
10:47
Speaker 1: don't care about the twelves. They don't care out Central
10:49
Speaker 1: Link if its reigning, what if it's cloudy outside. Something
10:52
Speaker 1: about this team allows them to play well. So if
10:55
Speaker 1: we're going off the history, we're trying to know our history,
10:58
Speaker 1: we're learning about this thing. Hey, it's got a baby.
11:00
Speaker 1: You just go down to Arizona, get it done, and
11:02
Speaker 1: come back with a dub. That's what they do. They
11:04
Speaker 1: handled their business down there at the last meeting. You
11:06
Speaker 1: don't need to talk about it much. The Seahawks lost
11:08
Speaker 1: at Century Link Glass December. It was a tough day
11:10
Speaker 1: because we lost Chris Carson s day pro size Twayne
11:12
Speaker 1: Brown in play. But the only caveats read to get
11:15
Speaker 1: sebast mode for a couple more games in the Seahawk uniform.
11:18
Speaker 1: But as you said, it's all about the road game,
11:20
Speaker 1: and the Seahawks are in Arizona, so we're looking forward
11:22
Speaker 1: to them getting it done this weekend. Get it done
11:25
Speaker 1: in Glendale. Fellas, Let's check up on the NFC West
11:28
Speaker 1: and what's the word in the West and the Seahawks
11:36
Speaker 1: or the NFC West champs again, what's the word in
11:39
Speaker 1: the West? On Hot Talk? That's the word in the West.
11:44
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what the word is. Hawks of five
11:46
Speaker 1: and oh Rams of four and two, Carners of four
11:48
Speaker 1: and two, Frisco is three and three. NFC West is
11:52
Speaker 1: still proving to be the best division in football, and
11:56
Speaker 1: it was looking a shaky for a minute just because
11:58
Speaker 1: of the four nine is. We didn't know what to
12:01
Speaker 1: expect with the forty nine ers to have a bunch
12:02
Speaker 1: of injuries. They battled back three losses, but they're still
12:07
Speaker 1: in the mix. This is still the toughest division in football. No,
12:10
Speaker 1: and the numbers backed it up. So the NFC West
12:13
Speaker 1: has the most wins as a combined division and the
12:16
Speaker 1: NFC at sixteen, or excuse me, the NFL at sixteen.
12:18
Speaker 1: The next closest division is AFC North with fifteen And
12:22
Speaker 1: just a reminder about how good this division is and
12:24
Speaker 1: how the gap between some of the other divisions the
12:27
Speaker 1: NFC East, their combined to win total is five. That's
12:32
Speaker 1: how many the Seahawks have. That is four teams Estallas, Philly, Washington.
12:36
Speaker 1: I mean, come on now, the Giants. So this division
12:39
Speaker 1: is definitely one of the best in the league or
12:42
Speaker 1: the best division league in our opinion. The numbers backed
12:44
Speaker 1: that up. And really, since the Seahawks were playing the Cardinals,
12:48
Speaker 1: the only game that we have to look back on
12:49
Speaker 1: was the rams In forty nine Ers last Sunday night,
12:53
Speaker 1: Rams In forty nine Ers. Man, Jimmy g Man, he
12:55
Speaker 1: impressed me. He bounced back. He impressed me. You know,
12:57
Speaker 1: after being pulled against Miami, Jimmy bounced back. He had
13:00
Speaker 1: two hundred and six to a yards passing, three touchdowns
13:03
Speaker 1: and most importantly no interceptions. Now he was able. I
13:07
Speaker 1: feel like he was able to execute because he got
13:09
Speaker 1: his boys back, got George kittleback, Deebo Samuel was out there,
13:13
Speaker 1: moster was out there for most of the game. He
13:14
Speaker 1: got banged up. He's on ir now, but he was
13:17
Speaker 1: able to execute plays that he likes, those crossing patterns,
13:20
Speaker 1: those five to ten yards so as Paul Morier would say,
13:24
Speaker 1: those inside number numbers, ty routes. If you ask him
13:27
Speaker 1: to do the things that he's good at, he's an
13:29
Speaker 1: alright quarterback. You just can't ask him to go on
13:32
Speaker 1: seventeen play drives, throw the ball deep, rollout, hit the sideline.
13:36
Speaker 1: Nash is not his game. No, it's not his game.
13:37
Speaker 1: Like you mentioned Paul talks about all the time. He's
13:39
Speaker 1: not gonna he's not gonna hurt you outside the numbers.
13:41
Speaker 1: He's not like Russell Wilson. He's not gonna kill you
13:43
Speaker 1: on these deep routes. He's gonna do his damage underneath
13:45
Speaker 1: all those crossing routes you mentioned. But yeah, he played
13:48
Speaker 1: well and the protection was well for him. But tell him.
13:51
Speaker 1: You know what I don't get though, Bump. I can't
13:52
Speaker 1: figure out the Rams Man. So there are four and two.
13:55
Speaker 1: We know they're talented, we know we have some of
13:56
Speaker 1: the best players in the league, but honestly, this just
13:58
Speaker 1: can't figure them out because they're up in down. I
14:00
Speaker 1: feel like they played out of their competition at times.
14:02
Speaker 1: They will always play the Seahawks off. No matter what.
14:04
Speaker 1: I don't care if they're going fifteen or the fifteen
14:06
Speaker 1: and oh but I just can't put a finger on him.
14:08
Speaker 1: Man me either man and Jared Goff. Sometimes he looks
14:11
Speaker 1: like a really good quarterback and then he looks average.
14:13
Speaker 1: He was nineteen for thirty eight, one ninety eight yards,
14:16
Speaker 1: two touchdowns and one pick, not a horrible game. But
14:20
Speaker 1: he'll put up some godly numbers one week and then
14:23
Speaker 1: he'll look just really average on other weeks. I wonder
14:27
Speaker 1: what the chemistry is like as of now between him
14:31
Speaker 1: and mcveay. I'm sure the relationship is fine. But when
14:34
Speaker 1: I see a quarterback O nineteen for thirty eight and
14:38
Speaker 1: play the way that he's played, I mean, it leads
14:40
Speaker 1: me to wonder what conversations are like with him and
14:42
Speaker 1: McBay because that honeymoon period is gone. Oh yeah, when
14:45
Speaker 1: they came out and they were doing whenever they wanted
14:47
Speaker 1: to do. Todd Gurley was doing his theme now was
14:50
Speaker 1: like McBey, you got a coach and Jared Goff you
14:53
Speaker 1: have to lead. And I just don't see a really
14:56
Speaker 1: solid leader in Jared Goff. Good football player, not knocking
14:59
Speaker 1: him better. Hap he's in the top fifteen quarterbacks in
15:02
Speaker 1: the league for sure, but leadership means a lot. Yeah,
15:05
Speaker 1: it's it's a weird thing. And there'll be times where
15:07
Speaker 1: you just leave you scratching your head a little be
15:08
Speaker 1: throws and you'll be like, you're way too talented to
15:11
Speaker 1: be making that throw. So it's it's it's bizarre. We
15:13
Speaker 1: know how involved with Ron mcvay's with their offense. We
15:15
Speaker 1: know he's a genius when it comes to calm plays.
15:17
Speaker 1: But yeah, man, they got to figure it out. It's
15:19
Speaker 1: gonna be They're gonna be an interesting team to watch
15:21
Speaker 1: as the season goes along, especially because of what this
15:25
Speaker 1: divisions like in the next five weeks are going to
15:27
Speaker 1: be incredibly difficult for the Seahawks. But you know what,
15:30
Speaker 1: we're focusing on the Arizona Cardinals. It's time to man up?
15:35
Speaker 1: Is this mass this man up? On Hawk Talk? Well, mom,
15:45
Speaker 1: there's one guy. We've already mentioned him a lot, but
15:48
Speaker 1: you can't look past this because everything the Cardinals do
15:51
Speaker 1: begins and ends with this guy. Kyler Murray gone up
15:54
Speaker 1: against that Seahawk defense man, Kyler Murray. Kyler Murray inconsistent
16:00
Speaker 1: at times, but always a threat. Like mentioned, well, we
16:05
Speaker 1: didn't mention this, but he's one hundred thirty five for
16:07
Speaker 1: two y five fourteen hundred and eighty seven yards, ten
16:10
Speaker 1: touchdowns and six picks. But the way he can hurt
16:14
Speaker 1: you the most, now he only has three hundred and
16:16
Speaker 1: seventy rush yards, but it's crucial. It's on third downs.
16:19
Speaker 1: It's when plays break down. There's no defense or a
16:23
Speaker 1: guy who is just faster than everybody on the football field. No,
16:26
Speaker 1: there's not watching film against Dallas. The thing that jumps
16:29
Speaker 1: off the page is how explosive is and how quick
16:31
Speaker 1: he is because they'll do a ton of stuff right.
16:33
Speaker 1: I think Kingsbury's very creative in his play calls. But
16:36
Speaker 1: like you look at their design runs, they'll they'll spread
16:38
Speaker 1: you out, they go one back in the backfield and
16:41
Speaker 1: then he'll take He'll take one step, boom, put that
16:43
Speaker 1: foot in the ground and he is gone. There'll be
16:45
Speaker 1: times where you're like, oh, you got the angle on him,
16:47
Speaker 1: but he'll get out there for ten yards, burn you
16:48
Speaker 1: on third and ten. Whatever it is. So he's incredibly
16:51
Speaker 1: dynamic and talented and he's going to scare you on
16:53
Speaker 1: some of those design QB draws. I think you have
16:56
Speaker 1: to put prussure on him. He showed last week that
16:58
Speaker 1: he can be inconsistent nine for twelve four I think
17:00
Speaker 1: the number was, and he's falling off of his throws. Mechanically,
17:03
Speaker 1: he has some things to work on. I spoke to
17:05
Speaker 1: brock Hewart and that was his He says he has
17:08
Speaker 1: a long wind up, says it takes a long time
17:10
Speaker 1: for him to get the ball out. But if he's
17:12
Speaker 1: on point, if he's seeing, if he's believing what he's seeing,
17:15
Speaker 1: he's good. I broke down filming for this guy. If
17:16
Speaker 1: you want to play his own defense against him, what
17:18
Speaker 1: they're gonna do is Kingsburg is gonna put a guy
17:20
Speaker 1: in motion so Kyla Murray can identify if his man
17:23
Speaker 1: or not. And you gotta watch Larry in the slot.
17:26
Speaker 1: It's crazy how Larry went from this outside receiver and
17:28
Speaker 1: then transformed in his old age to this slot guy.
17:31
Speaker 1: And when you have a guy who really understands what
17:32
Speaker 1: defenses are doing, it helps a quarterback like Kyler Murray.
17:36
Speaker 1: He has a safety blanket when it comes to that
17:38
Speaker 1: short stuff and he can still let that thing rep
17:40
Speaker 1: and take you over the top. No, and like you mentioned,
17:43
Speaker 1: Colin Murray, he's he's not playing in one hundred percent
17:46
Speaker 1: consistent level, but he really has improved a lot from
17:49
Speaker 1: year one to year two. And we talked to coach
17:52
Speaker 1: Cliff Kingsbury on the conference call this morning and he
17:54
Speaker 1: talked about that exactly, that how Colin Murray has really
17:57
Speaker 1: improved going into second year. Definitely, it hasn't been on
17:59
Speaker 1: a saying of our scheme, what we're trying to accomplish.
18:03
Speaker 1: I think the number one thing I've seen is how
18:05
Speaker 1: he's reduced the negative plays. We took quite a few
18:09
Speaker 1: unnecessary saccess here, just trying to do too much, trying
18:12
Speaker 1: to extend plays, which is part of his game, but
18:14
Speaker 1: you gotta know when when the parties that were wanting
18:16
Speaker 1: to throw it away and not take that negative play
18:18
Speaker 1: on first and second down, and that's really helped us offensively.
18:21
Speaker 1: So bum what how does he compare? I know it's
18:25
Speaker 1: like an easy comparison, right because he's a smaller quarterback,
18:28
Speaker 1: he's African American, he can scramble, his athletic he has
18:31
Speaker 1: a great arm strength. But how does he compare to
18:33
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson. I think at this point of his career,
18:37
Speaker 1: Russell was better one. He had a better defense behind him.
18:41
Speaker 1: That's what he's going to help. All about the run,
18:43
Speaker 1: that's going to help as well. And mechanically, Russell Russell's
18:47
Speaker 1: always seemed like a technician when it comes as mechanics,
18:50
Speaker 1: shoulders are level, always has a good base easy followed
18:54
Speaker 1: through with Kyler Murray. He is so physically talented, and
18:58
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say this, basically more talented than Russell Wilson.
19:02
Speaker 1: But Russell is such a technician with his consistency, his
19:06
Speaker 1: delivery that that's what makes him makes him better at
19:09
Speaker 1: this point his career, his second year in the NFL.
19:12
Speaker 1: But Kyler has maybe bigger playability at this moment in
19:17
Speaker 1: his career because he has a DeAndre Hopkins, he has
19:20
Speaker 1: an offensive coordinator who's going to allow him to throw
19:22
Speaker 1: the football when Russell his second year game manager and
19:26
Speaker 1: hand the ball off, let's run these quick games. So
19:28
Speaker 1: he wasn't really allowed to flourish. But they're similar because
19:33
Speaker 1: all the things that you just mentioned. But there's no
19:35
Speaker 1: comparison man Russell Wilson. I mean, you can't compare anybody
19:39
Speaker 1: to Russell Wilson right now. Pat Mahomes is in the mix, yes,
19:41
Speaker 1: but it just looks different it feels different Russell. It's
19:43
Speaker 1: just on a different planet. Russell is who he is.
19:45
Speaker 1: And honestly, Kyler Murray, obviously he's worked his tail off,
19:49
Speaker 1: he's balled out at Oklahoma and never lost a game
19:52
Speaker 1: in high school in Texas. But if there's no Russell Wilson,
19:55
Speaker 1: there's no Kyler Murray straight up. I mean, he doesn't
19:58
Speaker 1: get drafted number one over with his height and his
20:01
Speaker 1: no not at all. So both good quarterbacks, but definitely
20:04
Speaker 1: Kyle Murray owes his respects to number three. For sure,
20:07
Speaker 1: Yes he does. And the next matchup we're looking and
20:10
Speaker 1: talking about number three is Russell Wilson versed this cardinal defense. Now,
20:15
Speaker 1: he is the best player in the league right now.
20:17
Speaker 1: He's one hundred twenty three for one sixty nine fifteen
20:20
Speaker 1: hundred yards, nine touchdowns and just three interceptions. What's that?
20:25
Speaker 1: Nineteen touchdowns? Oh, I'm sorry, nineteen touchdowns nineteen just three
20:29
Speaker 1: interceptions and one of those was his fault. I feel
20:32
Speaker 1: other two you can give that to the recipient. But
20:36
Speaker 1: he's playing like an MVP, and he is the one
20:40
Speaker 1: guy that I feel like, no matter what is happening,
20:43
Speaker 1: is the same. He's levelheaded, the whole time. I've heard
20:46
Speaker 1: him on Bill Simmons. I believe it's that. The podcast too,
20:48
Speaker 1: was just on. I got my son reading his book
20:51
Speaker 1: about this thinking neutral right now that stuff works. I
20:55
Speaker 1: wasn't able to think neutral. If it was bad, I'm like, Man,
20:57
Speaker 1: this is bad, how can we get out of it?
20:58
Speaker 1: If it was good, I'm like, man, we ball and
21:00
Speaker 1: we better keep it up. I can never just be like,
21:02
Speaker 1: all right, we're gonna I'm gonna stay the same the
21:04
Speaker 1: whole time. I kind of fed off of the emotion
21:06
Speaker 1: of the games. That's not really what he does. No,
21:08
Speaker 1: I mean, the guy can be it doesn't matter. He's
21:10
Speaker 1: gonna be down thirty five to zero and he's like,
21:12
Speaker 1: we're gonna score and we'll win the game. Doesn't amount
21:13
Speaker 1: of times left. I mean it happened last week again,
21:15
Speaker 1: or two weeks against Minnesota. I mean, you're down your
21:17
Speaker 1: balls on your six yard line, you gotta go ninety
21:19
Speaker 1: four yards. He finds a way to get it done
21:21
Speaker 1: every single time. All right now, Russ, And he's one
21:24
Speaker 1: more win of Typeeyton Manning for first place as the
21:26
Speaker 1: NFL's all time winning his quarterback in the players first
21:29
Speaker 1: nine seasons with ninety two. You can't ignore this guy anymore. No,
21:36
Speaker 1: I mean ninety two. Listen, it's it's gonna be it's
21:38
Speaker 1: their seventh game or their sixth game. Excuse me, He's
21:41
Speaker 1: gonna win a ton more games. He's gonna blow that
21:43
Speaker 1: one out of the water. He needs one more completion
21:45
Speaker 1: and past Matt Houseback for first place all time on
21:48
Speaker 1: pass completions list with two thousand, five hundred and sixty.
21:51
Speaker 1: I mean, this guy is just doing it all every
21:53
Speaker 1: single week. If you look at our media guide, there
21:56
Speaker 1: is a page dedicated to Rust for what record he's
21:59
Speaker 1: about to or could break that next week. All right,
22:02
Speaker 1: let's talk about another record. He's about to break. These
22:04
Speaker 1: three touchdowns to type Hayton Manning for the most passing
22:07
Speaker 1: touchdowns to open a season in NFL history with twenty two.
22:13
Speaker 1: Russ's I'm not gonna say I'm not gonna say the phrase,
22:15
Speaker 1: but Russ is in the kitchen and that wrist is
22:18
Speaker 1: working right now, is working. And it's fun to watch man,
22:23
Speaker 1: especially seeing where this offense has come from. They come
22:25
Speaker 1: from Marshawn Lynch running the football. I'm grinding games out
22:30
Speaker 1: and to see the evolution of this means that Russell
22:32
Speaker 1: Wilson's putt in the work. Scheenheimer trusts him, and Pete
22:35
Speaker 1: Carroll is able to adapt. A lot of guys aren't
22:38
Speaker 1: able to do that. And I always look at Andy Reid,
22:40
Speaker 1: the guy who's been in the game for a minute,
22:41
Speaker 1: just got his first Super Bowl. He's been able to
22:44
Speaker 1: adjust with the times. And side note, I know we're
22:47
Speaker 1: talking about the Hawks and the Cardinals, but Andy Reid
22:50
Speaker 1: was one of the first guys to use the running
22:51
Speaker 1: backs the way they're being used now with Westbrook. I
22:54
Speaker 1: know Marshall Falk was one of the pioneers too, but
22:57
Speaker 1: seeing what Andy Reid does with what Westbrook is awesome.
23:00
Speaker 1: So Pete Carroll has shown that he is one of
23:02
Speaker 1: the older guys who was able to adapt and let
23:05
Speaker 1: his players flourish well. And the thing about it, too
23:07
Speaker 1: is all we know Ruskin do. We just talked about
23:10
Speaker 1: all his accolades. He's the best player in the NFL
23:12
Speaker 1: right now. The Cardinals present a different challenge. Though these
23:15
Speaker 1: guys are playing pretty good defensively. I mean they're doing
23:18
Speaker 1: okay in the past defense line two hundred twenty six
23:20
Speaker 1: yards per game. But the best thing that they've done
23:22
Speaker 1: this year is on the scoreboard. They ranked number two
23:24
Speaker 1: in the NFL and scoring defense, only allowing eighteen point
23:28
Speaker 1: seven per game. Eighteen point seven Hawks are putting up
23:31
Speaker 1: about thirty. Let's see what they can do next matchup.
23:34
Speaker 1: Buddher Baker Verse, everbody this dude. I've always respected his game.
23:40
Speaker 1: I've always known he's one of the best out there.
23:42
Speaker 1: But last Monday against the Dallas Cowboys was the first
23:46
Speaker 1: time I said, all right, I'm watching thirty two eighty
23:49
Speaker 1: percent of the snatch. I just want to see. I
23:51
Speaker 1: sort he's the highest pace safety in the league. We
23:53
Speaker 1: got Jamal Adams over here. How do they compare? And
23:56
Speaker 1: I was impressed. The guy plays with the motor he played.
24:00
Speaker 1: He's fast, he plays physical. He is the emotional leader
24:03
Speaker 1: on this Cardinals football team, no question about it. I
24:05
Speaker 1: mean you mentioned Monday night seven solo tackles, one sack,
24:09
Speaker 1: one force, fumble, one interception, and the man is everywhere.
24:12
Speaker 1: They line him up in so many different places. He'll
24:14
Speaker 1: blits off the edge with regularity. To'll line him up,
24:17
Speaker 1: you know, on the outside as a deep third safety
24:20
Speaker 1: line is scrimmage at linebacker. He can literally play all
24:23
Speaker 1: over the field. And they just keep you guessing because
24:24
Speaker 1: they're moving all the time defensively, trying to confuse the
24:28
Speaker 1: quarterback and see what covers are in. So they do
24:30
Speaker 1: a lot of stuff with him, and he's just incredibly special.
24:33
Speaker 1: You know what sinners do. They get to the line
24:35
Speaker 1: of scrimmage that identify the box and they find the
24:38
Speaker 1: mic fifty twos of mica. They're like, okay, fifty twos
24:41
Speaker 1: of mic, but there's Boot over there, so y'all know
24:44
Speaker 1: there's Boot over there. And the way he blitz is
24:46
Speaker 1: like he's getting shot out of a cannon. He's not
24:48
Speaker 1: going in there trying to lay the quarterback down all softly,
24:51
Speaker 1: put a pillow under his head. He's like, look, I'm
24:53
Speaker 1: gonna get to this quarterback and I am going to
24:55
Speaker 1: smack you. What's another matchup? Now? Well, man, these dudes
25:00
Speaker 1: once again you mentioned the receiving corps. DeAndre Hopkins. He's
25:04
Speaker 1: a bad man. And let me tell you something, Shaquille Griffin,
25:07
Speaker 1: Quittin Dunbar, Trey Flowers, you guys are gonna have your
25:09
Speaker 1: hands full once again. They've had faced so many tough receivers.
25:12
Speaker 1: It feels like almost every week they have someone that
25:15
Speaker 1: is an elite level wide receiver and this is no
25:18
Speaker 1: different with Hopkins. You know, forty forty seven receptions already
25:21
Speaker 1: this year, six hundred yards and two touchdowns. The man
25:24
Speaker 1: is a technician, a ballhawk, everything in the sense of
25:27
Speaker 1: the word man. Forty seven receptions, so you know where
25:31
Speaker 1: he wants to go. And last he has forty seven
25:33
Speaker 1: receptions and I believe on Monday he had two. Yeah,
25:36
Speaker 1: so before that he had forty five receptions. He only
25:39
Speaker 1: had two receptions, but he had one long I think
25:41
Speaker 1: about sixty nine sixty something large, and like I mentioned,
25:45
Speaker 1: this is one of the fastest receiving corps out there.
25:47
Speaker 1: I've seen Isabella get behind Katz, Kurt get behind them,
25:50
Speaker 1: Hopkins get behind them, and then you combine them with
25:52
Speaker 1: Kenyan Drake, who's good in the past game as well.
25:56
Speaker 1: These guys are gonna have their hands full, but I
25:58
Speaker 1: think they're up for the challenge. I mean, they've seen
26:00
Speaker 1: great receiving cores already, they've seen Atlanta get out there.
26:03
Speaker 1: They've been tested, they've been beat up, they've been bruised,
26:05
Speaker 1: but they're playing well at this point. Shack has a
26:08
Speaker 1: couple of picks. Dunbar has a pick. I'm still waiting
26:11
Speaker 1: for that, that Quandre Diggs moment. I can't wait for it.
26:14
Speaker 1: Why why not this week? Go ahead and get them digs?
26:16
Speaker 1: Why not this week? And we're not sure where Jamal
26:20
Speaker 1: Adams is gonna be. He's gonna be back at some point.
26:22
Speaker 1: But this secondary, like you said, they're getting more comfortable.
26:25
Speaker 1: I would love to see them continue to play more
26:26
Speaker 1: aggressive and just go out there and play like Quentin Dunbar.
26:30
Speaker 1: You're a technician, do your thing, read your keys, and
26:33
Speaker 1: go break on. The football takes some chances because it's
26:35
Speaker 1: gonna be hard to play off on DeAndre Hopkins at
26:37
Speaker 1: eight yards and they're gonna complete balls all day long.
26:40
Speaker 1: So it'll be great to see if those guys can
26:42
Speaker 1: get out there and be aggressive from the start. All right.
26:44
Speaker 1: The next matchup, we're looking at his Kenyan Drake verse
26:47
Speaker 1: the Seahawks front seven. Here's us lesson of his sixty
26:51
Speaker 1: nine yard touchdown run last week. Here's a third and
26:53
Speaker 1: four two minute warning from the Cardinal thirty one. Maria's
26:57
Speaker 1: under center stop the stamp spins hands up Drake O
27:00
Speaker 1: big hole inside the numbers, fifty chase to the forty.
27:04
Speaker 1: I'm the numbers, the thirty, to the twenty, to the
27:06
Speaker 1: ten to the five hits, a touchdown, untouched, galloping down
27:11
Speaker 1: field sixty nine yards, that was beautiful, want to run,
27:17
Speaker 1: and the Kenyan Drake touchdown run makes it now thirty
27:22
Speaker 1: seven to ten the Cardinals with one forty nine to go. Wow,
27:31
Speaker 1: the disgusted right sixty nine yard touchdown run. He has
27:34
Speaker 1: four hundred seventy eight yards and four touchdowns. That four
27:37
Speaker 1: to seventy eight is fourth in the NFL, and that's
27:39
Speaker 1: a sneaky four seven. Yeah. No one's talking about Kenyan
27:43
Speaker 1: Drake really, no, not at all. I mean I honestly,
27:45
Speaker 1: I wasn't really thinking much about him. When when you
27:47
Speaker 1: think of the Cardinals, I think of Colin Murray, I
27:49
Speaker 1: think of DeAndre Hopkins. I think of what they're doing
27:50
Speaker 1: with the receiving corps and Drake. He's low key been
27:53
Speaker 1: really good for him once he stepped in right, so
27:55
Speaker 1: I looked. I looked through all his game logs and
27:57
Speaker 1: since he was required by her zone last year, the
28:00
Speaker 1: Cardinals are six in one when he carries the ball
28:02
Speaker 1: at least sixteen times. Now, that can be misleading because
28:05
Speaker 1: it depends on how the game's going right if they're
28:07
Speaker 1: if they're up, they're going to run the football more
28:09
Speaker 1: if they're down there and pass the more. But with
28:11
Speaker 1: that being said, there's some kind of correlation because when
28:13
Speaker 1: he's running the ball to high clip, they're they're pretty
28:15
Speaker 1: good hard to stop. Offensively, they're hard to stop, and
28:18
Speaker 1: he keeps the offense balanced. He allows Kyler Murray to
28:22
Speaker 1: hand the full ball off and not feel like he
28:24
Speaker 1: has to win the game by himself. It's nice to
28:27
Speaker 1: have a running back who can do a little bit
28:29
Speaker 1: of everything. And he fits that offense perfectly. He's fast.
28:33
Speaker 1: They're not a power offense. They're not gonna run a
28:35
Speaker 1: bunch of traps, pull a bunch of guards. They're gonna
28:38
Speaker 1: hit you with draws. They're gonna hit you with zones,
28:40
Speaker 1: outside zone stretches. They're gonna try to beat you with
28:43
Speaker 1: their speed, and they're dangerous, simple as that. No, and
28:48
Speaker 1: that's and I love what you hit on right. There
28:50
Speaker 1: was balance because Cliff Kings were, like we talked about,
28:53
Speaker 1: you think of throwing the ball all how many times
28:55
Speaker 1: are gonna win back and throw it? When they're balanced,
28:57
Speaker 1: they're a tough team to play. And the thing about
28:59
Speaker 1: it is they need to be balanced against the Seahawks
29:01
Speaker 1: because if you're out there, even if you have a
29:03
Speaker 1: big play um and you score in a two play drive,
29:06
Speaker 1: when you're playing the Seahawks, you want number three off
29:08
Speaker 1: the football field. So you need to work on time
29:10
Speaker 1: possession and things like that. So they're gonna need to
29:13
Speaker 1: be balanced. Kenyan dra Because is a good player and
29:15
Speaker 1: he's gonna be really key for them on Sunday. But
29:18
Speaker 1: bump for the Seahawks to get it done, there's a
29:20
Speaker 1: couple of things they need to do. It's the path
29:23
Speaker 1: to victory. At the forty five waits for the staff,
29:28
Speaker 1: Michael Dickson puts it down. That kick is away. If
29:31
Speaker 1: that kick is gone, it's gone. It's a path to
29:36
Speaker 1: victory on Hawk Talk, path to victory, Kyler murray Man,
29:44
Speaker 1: it starts with him. We started the show with him.
29:46
Speaker 1: He can't we can't give up a big play with him. Okay,
29:49
Speaker 1: he's a dynamic player. He's definitely gonna make plays. He
29:52
Speaker 1: just can't have the big one. He can't have the
29:54
Speaker 1: long run, he can't have the adr touchdown pass. You
29:57
Speaker 1: need to put pressure on the guy and you just
29:58
Speaker 1: got to contain him, fluster him, a little bit. He
30:00
Speaker 1: just can't have the big play over and over again
30:02
Speaker 1: on Sunday. You know, I noticed when Dallas has success
30:05
Speaker 1: containing Murray, it was when they made him step up
30:07
Speaker 1: in the pocket. He wants to get outside the pocket,
30:10
Speaker 1: roll get east west. If you can make him step
30:13
Speaker 1: up in the pocket, that will filter him right to
30:14
Speaker 1: guys like Bobby Wagner and kJ Wright. I'm with you.
30:18
Speaker 1: Gotta contain this guy. Another dude, Kenyan Drake. He needs
30:21
Speaker 1: to be held under one hundred yards now. The Seahawks
30:24
Speaker 1: got ran on last time we saw him against the
30:26
Speaker 1: Minnesota Vikings. Then they're always a solid run team, so
30:29
Speaker 1: you take that with a grain of salt, but they
30:31
Speaker 1: can't have that type of performance again. If Kenyan Drake
30:34
Speaker 1: is allowed to run all over this football team, that
30:36
Speaker 1: is going to loosen up things and allow Kyler Murphy
30:38
Speaker 1: to be comfortable out there. Gotta shut down Drake absolutely,
30:41
Speaker 1: And like we said, he makes them a balance football team.
30:44
Speaker 1: If there's no balance, then the Seahawks can continue to
30:47
Speaker 1: bring more pressure like they have in recent weeks. And
30:49
Speaker 1: like you mentioned, make him step up in the pocket.
30:51
Speaker 1: Good things will happen. If you'd keep him under a
30:53
Speaker 1: hundred yards. Hopkins needs to standard ten reception. Dude has
30:56
Speaker 1: forty seven catches. Come on, he cannot leave this game
31:00
Speaker 1: with fifty seven receptions all the other ten and one
31:04
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty yards. I can't believe I missed that
31:06
Speaker 1: he had that mini reception. That's ridiculous. It's unbelievable. I looked.
31:09
Speaker 1: I had a double check the number, so I wasn't
31:10
Speaker 1: sure if I was right. I was looking back. He
31:11
Speaker 1: had Gamer had fourteen ten, nine eight seven. I mean,
31:14
Speaker 1: the dude is a monster, and he just can't He
31:17
Speaker 1: just can't be that guy. He's just catching the ball
31:20
Speaker 1: every play. You know. It's one of those things where
31:21
Speaker 1: if we're gonna play off, he can't just be easy
31:24
Speaker 1: money every time because he will add it up and
31:25
Speaker 1: he'll keep the chains room down the field. So Hopkins
31:28
Speaker 1: is a one of the best receivers in the NFL.
31:30
Speaker 1: Bar Nune. He's gonna make some plays, but he can't
31:32
Speaker 1: go nuts. What else I gotta do, Nws. Just let
31:36
Speaker 1: Russ be Russ man. I mean, it sounds so easy, right,
31:39
Speaker 1: anyone can do it. Just let recipe Russ. But honestly,
31:41
Speaker 1: like they're in such a good flow offensively with how
31:43
Speaker 1: schottenheimers Khan plays. How things are going last week Chris Carson,
31:48
Speaker 1: he only had eight carries, but he has some explosive play,
31:51
Speaker 1: So I'd like to see him get a little bit
31:52
Speaker 1: more involved. But it's all on the flow, and it
31:53
Speaker 1: all begins and ends with number three. If you continue
31:56
Speaker 1: to let him do what he's doing. He's leading the
31:58
Speaker 1: best offense in the NFL and it's gonna be an
32:00
Speaker 1: easy day for you. Let rest work that risk. I'm
32:03
Speaker 1: not gonna say the phrase I'm stirring that thing up. Also,
32:08
Speaker 1: what they have to do is create turnovers early and
32:10
Speaker 1: often they did that in spurts with the Minnesota Vikings.
32:14
Speaker 1: I've set this ten times already. Defense got that game going.
32:18
Speaker 1: Defense got the offense going by creating turnovers. That's what
32:21
Speaker 1: they need to do. That's what they're good at at
32:23
Speaker 1: this point. They're good against the run and they create turnovers.
32:26
Speaker 1: Be who you've been all season long. You leave the
32:29
Speaker 1: NFL and turnover ratio, you're plus six right now, the
32:32
Speaker 1: Cardinals are zero, tied for seventeen. So keep doing what
32:35
Speaker 1: you're doing. Force Colin Murray. He's throwing six interceptions this year.
32:37
Speaker 1: Continue to put that pressure on him. Maybe force will
32:39
Speaker 1: fumble here and there, get the offense going that way,
32:42
Speaker 1: and then don't don't wait till the end of the game,
32:44
Speaker 1: you know, as they have for most of the year
32:46
Speaker 1: to make that big play. Let's start it early, and
32:49
Speaker 1: they gotta get off the field on third down. Defensively,
32:52
Speaker 1: offense needs to keep things going on third down, but
32:54
Speaker 1: defense needs to get off the fild on third down.
32:56
Speaker 1: Those fourteen fifteen sixteen play drives puts a lot of
33:01
Speaker 1: pressure on this defense. They're gas they're tired. Now, the
33:03
Speaker 1: offense is on the sideline, they're getting cold, they're losing
33:06
Speaker 1: their rhythm, and the special teams needs to continue to perform. Yep.
33:10
Speaker 1: No one talks about special teams and a lot enough
33:12
Speaker 1: it's a kicker missing a field goal or something like that.
33:14
Speaker 1: But they've been balling on special teams so far this year,
33:17
Speaker 1: no question about it. They have a special team's board
33:19
Speaker 1: in the locker room and has all their goals, winnings,
33:21
Speaker 1: starting field position, turnovers, this and that. They're hitting on
33:25
Speaker 1: circle every single week. And that's the credit to Larry
33:27
Speaker 1: Zo and the coaching staff, and they're giving the Seahawks
33:30
Speaker 1: offense and defense. Great starting field position. They have to
33:33
Speaker 1: keep that up. And Bump, here's the deal man. Let
33:36
Speaker 1: everyone know who runs NFC west Man. It's been too
33:38
