  Speaker 1: Michael Bumpus. Playfac go to roll right, jumpson off into
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: the right class to Michael Bumpers, who bounces off on
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: one tackler gets inside the forty down of the thirty
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: five yard line. Powered by Seahawks dot Com, Matt pump
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: fakes looking at the goal line. He throws it into
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: the end zone. Touchdown Seahawks. It's Michael Bumpus with a
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: diving catch in the end zone. Ten yard touchdown reception
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: for Bumpus, and the kid out of Washington State has
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: found himself a place on this team. Now here's your host,
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: NASA Chubby. Welcome into another edition of Hawk Talk, a
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: big victory Monday here at the Vision Mason Athletic Center.
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: It's a Seahawks takedown the Vision rival rams twenty seven
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: to twenty three, snapping that losing streak. But it's been
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: a couple of weeks and we're excited to get our
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: guy back on. It's Big Ray Roberts in the trenches.
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: It's time to go inside the trenches with former Seahawk
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: Ray Roberts. Big Ray Man, it was not the prettiest game,
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: but it was a victory on the road and a
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: much needed one at that did this game finally silence
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: any of that talk that Geno Smith still needed to
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: check off that one box that you know, not being
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: able to get things done in the clutch against the Raiders,
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: that finally and all that nonsense and you know, kind
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: of check off the last box for Geno Smith. Well,
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: I hope it does. I mean, because if you look
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: at you know, I think we talked about this a
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: little bit in the postgame, is that there have been
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: times where he has given the team to lead late
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: in the game and then the defense gave up more
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: points or whatever, so then it looks like, hey, he
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: can't come through in the clutch, you know, but the dude,
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: this whole season has been clutch for him. He's playing
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: out of his mind, unlike any of us would have thought. Maybe.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: I'm sure he's never doesn't feel that way. But it
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: was cool to see him be so cool, calm and
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: collected given all the other circumstances that were happening, all
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: the injuries and the back kill that were hurt that
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: was happening, The fact that he had to you know,
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: they had to rely on him him and his arm
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: and in the passing game to get that win. And
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: so just the way he went down the field and
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: that final drive was pretty awesome. And even just the
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: calm and confidence that he threw the touchdown pass to
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: DK speaks a lot. Speaks volumes to his ability to
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: remain calm in those situations and then come through with
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: a play that can fill the victory for the Seahawks. Now,
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: Gino definitely has confidence, like I'm not, That's an obvious
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: thing he carries himself. So you can tell like everything
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: you just said, But what do you think this win
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: did for him personally? Because you know, still you know,
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: kind of eliminating some of those naysayers. And though he
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: has the confidence and we've seen it all year, how
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: big do you think this was for him? Well, you know,
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: sometimes as when you like, uh, you try to portray
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: to everyone that you have supreme confidence in yourself, but
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: then sometimes it's just something like in the back of
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: your hair where you go like, man, but I just
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: need this one little thing to kind of validate myself.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: And so you know, I've never really followed Gino's whole career,
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: but just knowing you know how it ends it in
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: the different places, and it just seemed like people had
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: written him off. It had to feel good in that
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: moment for him to prove to himself that with the
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: absolute game on the line, clock, running out, injuries all
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: all over the place, a team that was playing you
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: better than you thought they were going to play you,
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: and then you came through a supreme fashion. That has
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: to give you just a boost of like, uh like
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: not like I've arrived, but yes, I can do this.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: I can remember my rookie year the second half of
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: the season, you know, playing against some really good players
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: like Derek Thomason and even you know, Larnce Taylor at
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: the end of his career. But being able to hold
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: some of those dudes without sacks just kind of let
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: me know, Okay, like I knew I could do it,
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: but now I'm showing it on film that I could
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: do it, and I'm proving it to some of the
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: better players in the history of this league that I
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: can that I can roll with them in the game.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: And so that that self validation has to come from
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: a like that hey, big race. So obviously Gino Smith
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: has confidence and gain even more confidence with that final drive,
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: but we did lose kin Walker. We're not sure for
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: how long we lost him. How confident are you in
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: the run game if kin Walker is not available? Well,
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: I'll put it this way, Big Mike, I don't know
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: about my confidence level because I don't know who's going
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: to be back there. But every offensive line's dream is
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: to be put in this situation, right, so we're every
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: game is a playoff game situation. Past protection is going
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: to be critical because that's gonna be where you're gonna
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: lean the most on to win games. And then you
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: have to come up with a way to create lanes
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: for who you know, whoever they put it running back
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: to game yards to keep the running game respectable. And
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: that is a challenge that should land squarely on the
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: shoulders of this offensive line, and I hope that they're
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: up for the challenge. I hope that they even look
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: at it and think about it that way that really truly,
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: Like you always say that the comes down to who
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: wins the trenches, but for the Seahawks to go where
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: they want to go, the offensive line is going to
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: have to deliver them to it, and that's by protecting Gino.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: So he can get to the receivers with the way
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: BK and Tyler a plan, and then whoever they put
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: in at running back, whether it's a service of persons,
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: serviceable person, or somebody they get off the waive of
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: wire that has a history of having some big games,
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: they have to put it on their shoulders to create
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: space for that person to gain yardage. And so to me,
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: like I would be excited as an offensive one because
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: it's like, that's where you want it. You want to
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: be able to dictate and determine what happens, and they
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: really truly get a chance to do that. Yeah, Ray,
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: I think you're right. So it really comes out to
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: that offensive line, right, you can put guys back there. Obviously,
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: ken Walker gives you the most opportunity to have big runs.
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: What you see out of Tony though, Man, I was
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: room for that dude. Anybody who is a number two
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: or three undrafted free agent, I'm rooting for him. What'd
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: you see out of Tony back there? Well? You know
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: to me, for you know, I think in the post
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: game he said he had a few rests with the
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: first team, but for him just to have an awareness of,
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: you know, what he was doing, and he was you know,
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: he hit the holes hard. You know, he's trying to
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: get the yardership was there. He looks like a guy
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: that can that can get it done. Sometimes, you know,
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: those dudes are just kind of stuck behind some some
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: guys that come in with bigger reputations and things. So
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: you know, if he came out of the game unscathed
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: and has a chance to work the full week with
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: the first team, I mean, shoot that he looks explosive.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: He looks pretty thick for a guy. You know, it
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: runs hard and all that kind of stuff, and I
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: think they want to use him in the pass a
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: game as well. So I remember playing and having backups
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: command and stuff, and I took proud in helping those
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: dudes kind of get their shine on. So hopefully, you
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: know that'll happen with Alph as the line and if
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: he has to be the guy that carries the boat,
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: that he can come through. And you know, not that
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: he has to be a world beater in rush or
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: two hundred yards, but he just has to keep the
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: running game respectable. Ray on the defensive side, looks like
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: the Rams were still able to move the ball despite
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: a lot of the injuries. They had there. Now it
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: didn't look like the Rams game, thank god. But I
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: guess my question to you is, do you think that
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: was more about Sean McVeigh calling a hell of an
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: offensive game plan versus the Seahawks not being able to
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: slow down some of their their options on offense. Well,
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: I really think, you know, Sean McVay did call an
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: amazing game. It just seems like every every play called,
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: somebody was getting the ball in a ton of space,
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: you know, able to make some plays with it. But
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: I think because of the last the two previous games,
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: I think the Seas were kind of hunkering down to
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: take care of the running game between the tackles because
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: that's where they were getting smashed. And if you take
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: away the boot yard, is that that Wolford made and
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: then the fly sweeps that you know, you know, they
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: were kind of anticipating more, you know, in the box running.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: Then they only rushed for seventy four yards, and so
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: I think in that regard, I thought the defense did
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: kind of what they game planned to do, but then
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: they just was slow to adjust to the fly sweep
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: stuff and to the boot stuff. So there is something
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: to feel positive about, Like I said, you know, in
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: order to impact the run game, you have to play
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: on the other side of the line of scrimmage. So
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: the defenders have to get their heels across the offensive
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: line of scrimmage. And then that makes the running back
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: have to make moves in the backfield before he wants to.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: And so al Woods was back up to his standard
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: of like really getting push in the middle. Full of
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: Ford was doing this thing. But I think they just
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: kind of got yardage on those outside runs that I
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: don't think the seahows were kind of planning for their
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: plan for more that in the box running. And when
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: you look at that, I thought they did a pretty
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: good job. Ray. We all know that you like some
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: run game. Man, you said, it allows linemen to get downhill.
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: They did not come to pass pro even though they
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: do that. But what is it like getting to pass
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: pro when you got two receivers going off man DK
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: one twenty eight title a lot of one twenty seven
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: as a as a line in when you lose your
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: number one running back and you know you're gonna have
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: to lean on the pass, how does that shift your mentality?
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: But I'm not gonna allow to the thing I love
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: about receivers and it's a love hate kind of a thing.
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: Is that when they're when they're on fire, they talk
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: the most trash and uh and that really gets you
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: fired up as an offensive line, and like when you're
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: when you know, when DK went in motion and what's
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: calling Ramsey to come with it? Like that kind of stuff.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: Like those types of things kind of get me fired up.
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: And then you I've played with offensive with receivers that
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: will start fights and then run behind the offensive line
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: to kind of finish the fight. Well, DK starts some
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: man finishism, so like that that creates a whole lot
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: of energy on the sideline just because he brings like
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: that mentality to it. And so it's you take pride in,
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: you know, obviously protecting the quarterback because you know, if
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: you think about it, the offensive line is the only
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: position in all the sports where your your primary job
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: is to protect people, you know, and so you take
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: pride in protecting you know. Yeah, we gave up some sacks,
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: I think a couple of them that have been Gino
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: where he kind of held the ball a little bit
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: or he tried to scramble a little bit. But also
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: to you know, these young dudes who are adjusting to
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: people having a lot of film on them now and
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: understanding how to rush them and where the weaknesses and
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: things are. So it'll be up to them to remain professional.
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: Get back in the film room, do some self scouting.
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: You do some you know, extra scouting on the guys
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: that are playing against and look at how people have
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: been attacking them. And then come out and finish the
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: season stroll. Alright, alright, big Ray, we appreciate you hopping
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: on with us and the big Seahawks victory against the
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: Rams twenty seven, twenty three. Ray, you can hear him
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: on the huddle every Thursday, you know, obviously hear him
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: on the pre and post game show. Michael Bumps and
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: the rest of the Seahawk legends. Right, appreciate you hopping
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: on with us. Thanks right, thanks, right, alright, alright, now, Bump,
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: you'd be one of those receivers though. Man, I'm telling
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: you something. You get in there, you squabble up, you
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. You would start a fight run away, right,
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: And now I'm in the mix, and man if I started,
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna be there for the duration. All right, Let's
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: get into what had happened? See what happened? At first?
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: What had happened? Talks back in the wind column. Like
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: we said, after a hard fought battle with the Rams,
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: the Rams were banged up. This was a game we
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: felt the Seahawks absolutely needed to win. We essentially said,
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: there wasn't an excuse to get this done just because
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: who the Seahawks have on their side versus who the
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: Rams had on their side. But let me tell you something, Bump,
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: no one told the Rams that because they was ready,
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: was ready to go. There's a reason Sean McVay is
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: a good football coach man. They came out ready to rock.
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: John Woolford got to start at QB as they were down.
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford opened up at ten place, seventy seven yard
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: drive ending with the kim Akers touchdown. As the Rams
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: jumped out to that seven oh lead, and I was like, Okay,
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: didn't really feel great about how that start went and
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: how easy it felt. But our guy Gino Bump always
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: comes back in response. Yeah, he seems to never let
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: us down when it comes to the response. Man. They
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: go six place, seventy five yards and Tyler Lockett when
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: we cap it off with a thirty six start touchdown,
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: nice little deed crossing route getting behind the middle linebacker
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: mister four or five, and that tied the game up
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: at seven. After round field goal and two punts, the
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: Seahawks offense will go on another drive eleven plays ninety
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: one yards. They found no off fan in the back
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: of the ends on a little corner route for a
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: four yard touchdown that made the score fourteen and ten.
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: Then the Rams would tack on a field goal, making
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: it fourteen thirteen and a half time. Yeah, so again
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: the game is closer than you thought it'd be, but
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: you still feel like the Seahawks are in control. They
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: would add another field goal in the third quarter coming
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: out of the half, and then Bobby Wagner, who I'll
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: say it, had himself a day the day, got an
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: interception at Geno Smith. This kind of question, Well, I
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: thought it was pretty clear as day that Joe Junior
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: caught the ball and was down before Bobby ripped it away.
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: But hey, in the box score goes down an interception.
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: Bobby Wagner also had two sacks, so he was having
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: himself a day. That helped the Rams get a field
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: goal and close the gap. To seventeen to sixteen. Early
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter. The Hawks would answer to the
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: eleven play sixty seven yard drive, but stalled out in
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: the red zone, once again, settling for a Jason Myers
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: field goal. Jason Myers has been absolutely nails this year,
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: by the way. That made the score twenty to sixteen bump.
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: And that's when things got a little dicey. What happened? Yeah,
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: wolfer Man, he doesn't I give him this man, he's
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: got some moxie to him. Now. He was running, he
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: was scrambling, he was making plays, and he let this
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: team down the field on nine play seventy five yard,
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: driving Cam Akers, who wasn't even on the team that
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: had philosophy differences with Sean McVey as all of a
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: sudden one of their goal to guys. He would score
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: touchdown and the Rams would take the league twenty three
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: to twenty with two fifty six on the clock. And
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: then it was time for Geno's moment. We're watching this,
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: We're saying, all right, how's he going to handle him?
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: We need to score points right here? You know what
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: he does? Tim plays seventy five yards. He found Tyler
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: Lockett on a third and ten to keep the drive going.
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: Then he hits Mark He's good one on a second
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: and five, picks up seventeen yards there, and then we're
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: down inside the ten yard line. You got DK isolated
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: on one side of the formation and you're saying, I
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: let's get it going up against Jalen Ramsey finds DK
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: for that touchdown, and it was like I felt pressure
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: released off of me. I can only imagine how Geno felt.
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: Oh my goodness. We were so nervous up there waiting
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: and watching, not sure what to do with ourselves, especially
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: when it came to that third and ten, but found
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: mister reliable Tyler Locket always getting the job done, and
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: she knew he could do this. He's one of the
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: most confident dudes I've ever seen in his ability and
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: then confident in himself as a person and as a
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: football player. So he knew he could do it. But
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: it was just good for everyone else to kind of
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: see that, and so we kind of stopped talking about that.
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: Check that box. Geno's the man, He's doing it, doing
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: it all. Cody Barton would come in and get a
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: little game ceiling game was ready over, but a nice
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: little interception to have that stat sheet in a Seahawk victory.
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: But Bom, there was a lot of dudes making plays, playmakers, playmakers.
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: Gene No Smith, guy, we're just talking about twenty eight
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: to thirty nine, three hundred and sixty seven yards, three touchdowns,
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: one interception. This was Geno's fourth game passing over three
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: hundred yards this season, and his three hundred sixty seven
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: yards was a career high. Geno also set a single
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: season career high in passing yards with three thousand, one
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: hundred and sixty nine. Geno Smith is doing it all, Bump.
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: He's doing it all every week. It feels like he's
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: doing something different in the record books, and it's just
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: he's just doing everything. And I'm really impressed by what
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: we've seen from Gino Smith, and he's our leader and
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: he's gonna lead us to that promise. Lam Bump, Yeah, man,
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: Geno's breaking records and leading the NFL on a whole
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: bunch of categories. Man, I love to see it. And
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: the guys who helped him out this week, I'm gonna
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: put these two together, DK Metcalf and Tyler Locketman. DK
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: had eight receptions on eight targets for one twenty seven
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: in the game winning touchdown Tyler Lockett. He had nine
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: for one twenty eight and one touchdown. He's got eighteen
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: career a hundre yard games, last third most in franchise history.
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: I watched the all twenty two today and he's still
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: got a little burst. Tool man like this who's thirty
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: years old and still has that burst. His touchdown was beautiful,
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: Like I mentioned, a deep cross, you make one guy miss,
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: make another guy miss you getting the end zone. Gino
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: relied on these two heavily as he should, and they
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: came through, no question about. I love to see those two.
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: And it's been a little while since we've seen him
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: go off like that, you know what I'm saying. So
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: really good to see everyone working, you know, on the
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: same team on that offense often still putting up points,
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: still find a way to get twenty seven. They're averaging
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: I think coming into the game. They're average about that
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: every game too, So good to see that. And then
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: on defense, all right, guy see woo to killing the
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: game right now. Seven tackles, three passes defended, one interception.
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: Teriq set the franchise rookie record with his six interception
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: of the season. He's also tied with CJ. Gardner Johnson
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: for the NFL lead and interceptions, And it was really
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: cool to hear him talking about postgame how he goes
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: back to draft day and he's thinking, Man, all these
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: corners coming off the board, everyone's getting picked, and he's
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: thinking about himself, like, man, this is embarrassing. I'm not
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: gonna get picked. Obviously, we know what happens to. Seahawks
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: picked him. They met with Trek before that, they liked
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: him a lot, and the rest has been history. Because
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: Darke Woollin is already getting that Richard Sherman treatment and
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: it's only going to get worse because every time people
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: do try him, he makes place. So he is having
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: a season that no one thought he could have and
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: he's really showing that he can be a shutdown corner
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: in this league. So love what treas doing. Yeah, big
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: up to t woose these next guys. So Jenna the
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: Wolsu who on my show today, I had to go
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: off on a dude who called this guy a bust.
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: He called this dude four tackles, two sacks, one TfL,
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: three quarterback heads. I believe he has nine sacks on
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: the year. He called my man a bust. I cut
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: him off so swiftly and hung up the phone on
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: him and said, you are crazy. You must just want
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: some drama. I'm here for. Don't you be talking about
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: Chenna like that? Then he talked about Jordan Brooks, said,
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: Jordan Brooks, I don't like him at a linebacker. We
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: should have done this and done that. I go, this
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: man is third in the league when it comes to tackles.
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: He had nine tackles, one sack, one TfL and one
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: quarterback hit. Sometimes guys fancies don't know what they're looking at.
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: He disrespected Uchenna. Then Jordan Brooks had to yell at
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: him and hang up the phone. These guys balled out.
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: Let him know, Bump, it's not a game you can't
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: come out of. Dudes, are you serious right now? So sincere,
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: I just if you if you were watching football and
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: you think you're chatting the wild Sue isn't playing good
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: ball or Jordan Brooks, I don't know what you're watching
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: that is. I don't even tries checked. The last one
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: will shout out Kobe Barton. He had seven tackles, one interception,
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: He's been playing better and better every week, and Bumble's
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: keeping on the offense. Now flip it over the wide receiver,
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: round up a lot of guys catching passes. You love
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: to see a box score that looks like this. Bump yeah,
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: man um just the distribution right, I love to see it.
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: Kobe Parkinson's tighten. He had a catch for twelve yards
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: on one of those touchdown scoring drives you had. Uncle
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: Will Dissie who got involved too for twenty two no
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: offense had four for forty two and a touchdown. He's
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: quietly having a good season. I believe his career high
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: was about six hundred and forty yards. He's probably gonna
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: pass that this year if he keeps performing the way
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: he has. We talked to about Tiland dk Both went
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: for over one hundred and twenty and a touchdown. Markis
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: Gilwin had one catch on two targets, a very clutch
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: catch on that second and five on the game winning drive.
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: Has had an opportunity to score touchdown, but the rams
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: has made a great play. Gino made a good throw.
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: This couldn't come down with it. Tread Will had had
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: a reception as first as a seahawk I want to say,
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: and then DJ and Kenneth had some targets but couldn't
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: get it done. But what do we see here? We
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: see receivers, tight ends, running backs, anyone who is eligible,
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: any position eligible to catch a football. Did exactly that,
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: exactly what you want to see anytime I see twenty
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: eight reception, three sixty seven on four and thirty seven targets.
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: I'll take that any day of the week. Thirty thirteen
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: point one on average, three touchdowns. That's the kind of
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: roundup you want to see. Now, let's go back in
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: that coach's corner talking about these receivers. Gino Smith finds
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: DK Metcalf for the game winning touchdown. Three receivers right side,
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: DK Metcalf to the left with Jalen Ramsay on him.
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: Gino takes the snap, war man rush but a half
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: role throws back inside, ritching out backing, catch tout down Stayhawks,
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: Are you kidding me? Godk bat Calf. Ramsey was all
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: over him. DK put some thick myths up and says
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: that ball is mine and the Seahawks take the lead.
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: Twenty six, twenty three. What a dark thrown by Geno Smith. Yeah, man, um,
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: what I like about this play is one of the formation.
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: You got trips up top, got Cody Barton I believe
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: that's Mark he's good with and Tyler Lockett. I mean
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: not Cody Barton, Koby Parkinson's arm book Parkinson does. He's
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: in a two point stands. He is there for protection,
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: so when they release, he takes care of the end.
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: Right there, we got DJ Dallas on the right side
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: of Gino Smith. Nice little playfake. The reason why I
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: love the play fake right here because it's first and goal.
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: You feel like, all right, these guys are gonna run
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: the football in first down, try to get some yards.
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: This is right after the play, directly after Marquis Goodwin
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: sets him up, So you get that play fake bam
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: going across the left of Gino and then you have
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: Tyler Lockett just hitting the flat and you have Markue's
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: Goodwin running a corner route if you remember, no offense
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: up rand a corner later earlier in the game and
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: they hit him right there. So what that corner does
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: it pulls the safety with them. And then that corner
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: who's dropping into his zone and pulls it with him.
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: So now you got a two for one, right there
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: that swing kind of bubble. Look by Tyler Lockett pulls
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: that defender now with Gino does it kind of helped
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: the situation. He rolls to his right just a little bit.
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: You got DC at the bottom screen one on one
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: in a tight formation. Usually when he's tight like that,
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: you expect him to do an outbreaking route. That's why
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: you look at Jala Ramsey. He's in man, but he
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: has an outside shade. He goes, look, this guy's lined
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: up inside like that. He's gonna try to break outside.
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: But what DK does He gets an inside release states
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: vertical and snaps it off on like a short post.
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: Gino sliding to the right. With that corner route by
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: a goodman going to the right, with the bubble by
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: Lockey going to the right, it opens up space or
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: DK to work. Combined with the play fake that gets
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: the backers to bite down and Gino on the run
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: just throws a missile and it is a contested football.
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: DK comes down with a rock. The safety tries to
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: help out. Fourteen is too big, too strong. Good guys up.
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: No disagreement with anything you just said. I love it.
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: I mean Jalen Ramsey mentioned it. He's playing outside leverage.
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: Anytime someone runs away from you, especially around like that
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: and a physical guy like Metcalf like that, good luck
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: And I'll just say this bump. I was so excited
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: when I saw the film. I'm like, please tell me
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: that was on five yup, Yes it was, because those
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: two were going at it all day. We talked about
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: it in the preview podcast. Anytime DK Metcalf and Jalen
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: Ramsey were on the field, you gotta get your popcorn ready.
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: Sunday did not disappoint. They were going back and forth.
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: At one point, DK Metcalf motion across that they come
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: follow me and this time it's monoi mono game on
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: the line. Man. That must have felt good for DK.
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: I wish we're not gonna get it, but if we
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: ever got a micd up version of between those two,
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: it would be something you pay for. I just love
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: DK Metcalf balling out. It's been a while since we've
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: seen him and Tyler dominate the same game, and for
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: him to be Jalen Ramsey, you still want the better
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: corners in the league in that situation, I'm here for it. Also,
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: what I like is when they're on the field, he's
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: running his mouth. DK and Ramsey post game. Hey, you
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: know we're just competitors. We you know, we were going
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: at it right. He does it the right way. You
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: taught that talk on the field, but you respect your opponent.
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: He knows Jalen Ramsey as a good football player. That's
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: why it's that much more special that he made to
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: play on him. Absolutely and bump. It's that time, that
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: formation that we love victory. Here comes the Seahawk offense
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: onto the field and the Vikings defense crunching out there
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: knowing that one kneel down and the Seahawks are gonna
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: wind the clock down and women's fun. It's the victory
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: formation on Hawk Talk. The Seahawks really needed this win,
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: ending their two game losing. It wasn't pretty at all times,
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: but the Hawks made the place they needed to down
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: the stretch. Gino Smith absolutely balled out. Finally got to
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: check the box of game winning drive under two minutes.
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: All he does is say set wreckers, prove haters wrong,
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: doesn't right back, does everything the Seahawks need him to do,
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: and he's gonna continue to do that. Huge win for
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: the Seahawks now at seven and five, So yeah, just
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: a big, big booing. Yeah, the Hawks that were banged up. Man.
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: DJ Dallas was banged up as well. You lose Ken
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: Walk or you got Tony Jones who had to hop
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: in there and do their thing. But that's football, man,
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: and we know to look at the history of running
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: backs with the Seattle Seahawks, guys are going to get
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: dinged up. So now we're just waiting to see what
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: Travis Homer looks like, what Ken Walker looks like. But
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: the fact that they were able to still be a
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: threat in the run game, even though it wasn't it's
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: pretty when it comes to the numbers, they were still
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: a threat this If they were not a threat in
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: the run game, that touchdown a dk metcap would have
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: been that much more difficult. You saw the way the
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: linebackers respected it absolutely and there's definitely room for improvement
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: on defense. But the Seahawks took a step in the
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: right direction. It did not look like the Raiders game.
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: The ram still ran for yardage like we talked about
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: earlier in this game, but it definitely looked different and
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: they were finally able to get pressure, which is great.
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: Four sacks, eight QB hits. The previous two weeks there'd
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: only been one sack and the win streak to Seahawks
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: had nineteen sacks. Was really good to see them get
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: back to what made them successful in that four game
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: win streak. And this was the best outcome when it
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: comes to playing Bobby Wagoner for the first time. He
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: was able to ball out and we were able to
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: get the win. Because we love Bobby Wagoner what he's
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: done for his organization, but he's on the other team now,
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: so we got the best of both worlds. Right, Bobby
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: had a day seven tackles, two sacks, three TFLs, a
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: suspect interception, but We're not gonna remember it ten years
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: from now. I'm just gonna go down to his interception.
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: So nice. So we got the w Happy that Bobby
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: balled out. I need him not to play as well
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: when we play him again with in January or something
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: like that. Yeah, when we see Bobby up here in Loomanfield,
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: it's gonna be great. It's gonna be huge standing ovation
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: and all that. But yeah, if he wants to play
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: not well, I wouldn't mind that at all. Yeah, let's
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: get the big win over the Rams. He's seven twenty
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: three they're back out of this week where the Panthers
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: me and bumble way back with you on Wednesday and
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: gets you set for that matchup. Huge victory. The Seahawks
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: are seven and five back in that playoff picture. It's
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: exactly what we need. He's Michaelbama's so NASA show. We
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: reminder catch us everywhere Seahawks dot com, Apple podcasts, Google, Stitcher,
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: everything and more. We'll be back on Wednesday. Until next time,
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: it's been Hawk Talk.
