  Speaker 1: You're listening to Hawk Talk with former Seahawks wide receiver
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: Michael Bumpus.
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: Powered by Seahawks.com. Now, here's your host, Nassau Chobie. Welcome
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: to another edition of Hawk Talk.
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: We are back. The undefeated Seahawks, 1-0. Fresh off their
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: victory beating the New England Patriots in the season opener.
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: They're back at it again, this time hitting the road
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: to the desert, taking on the Arizona Cardinals bump.
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: But before we get going, Bob, I got some cool
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: stats for you guys right here. Yeah, let's get it.
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: Currently, the Seahawks are on 11-game win streak, including the playoffs,
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: tying the longest win streak in franchise history. So there's
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: some history that could be made this weekend. Need one
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: win for its ninth consecutive regular season win, tying the
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: second longest streak in franchise history, going back to 2012-2013.
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: Seahawks are 24-5 in their last 29, including the playoffs,
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: with four of those losses by six points or less.
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: They've held eight of the last 11 opponents to under
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: 20 points, including the postseason losses.
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: But right now things are rolling.
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: Pretty good franchise you got here, man. Mike McDonald stepping
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: in and changing the game. So let's keep the good
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: times rolling.
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: Right into it. Let's get right to it. What's on tap?
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: What's on tap? These Cardinals, they are 1-0.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: Tied for first technically in the NFC West. They beat
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: the Chargers 26-14 in probably the most shocking game of
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: week one. Cardinals went down to SoFi, beat the Chargers
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: handily 26-14. Rookie head coach Mike LaFleur. Became the first
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: Cardinals coach to win his debut since Don Correale in 1973.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: Before he was born, 12 coaches since then have not
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: been able to do that. So that just shows you
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: kind of how many people have been at the helm
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: in Arizona. Chargers, they're a big-time favorite coming in. Obviously,
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: we know the names they have. They trailed the entire game.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: But the Cardinals look pretty good, Bomb.
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: It's one game.
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I don't want to get over and ahead of
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: myself in either direction, right? Because the Cardinals did start
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: last year 2-0. Proceeded to lose 15 of the next
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: 16 games.
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: Not good. But right now, it's one game.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: What did you see out of those guys?
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: They look good, man.
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: They got things going on their opening drive. They go
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: 70 yards and 11 plays. And with the first NFL
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: touchdown for rookie running back Jeremiah Love.
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: He looked good.
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: He only got like 11 carries, I think. But I
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: think they're easing him into it. The Chargers answer with
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: a solid drive of their own ending with an eight-yard
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: touchdown by Omarion Hamden. I like him out of North Carolina.
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: I believe North Carolina, yeah. Which tied the score up
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: at seven. The Cardinals will score the next nine points,
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: settling for three field goals while the Chargers fumbled, turned
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: the ball over on downs, and punted.
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: That made the score 16-7. Cardinals feeling good.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, that's the best start you can hope
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: for on the road, especially with a team like that.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: Justin Herbert, we know all the things that he can
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: do there. Cardinals will score the next nine points. Like
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: you said, Chargers will get back in the game after
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: Justin Herbert found Ladd McConkie, another dog, for an eight-yard touchdown,
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: making the score 16-14. But, Bump, this is where the
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: game swung. When you do stuff on special teams... Things
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: happen good for you, brother. The Cardinals, Jacoby Bursette, he
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: finds Trey McBride for a three-yard touchdown. That made the
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: score 23-14. Herbert then would throw an interception on the
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: next drive. Cardinals put the game on ice with a
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: field goal late. Sealing the deal 26-14. Bursette, pretty good, 27-37, 277,
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: one touchdown, zero interceptions. QB rating of 103.1.
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Brissette looked good. He looked decisive. He looked confident.
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: He looked like he'd been in the league for a while.
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: And the rookie, Jeremiah, he finished with 41 yards and
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: 11 carries and one touchdown. Trey McBride continues just to
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: do his thing. Nine receptions, 95 yards and one touchdown.
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: Justin Herbert, the most talented and maybe overrated quarterback at
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: the same time. You see the talent, but just can't
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: put it together for a whole season. He was 17-27, 2-0-9,
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: one touchdown and one interception. Chargers got some work to do.
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: Cardinals looking good.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, that block punt set up the McBride touchdown.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: We're going to dive into the Chargers, obviously, in a
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: couple weeks as they travel to Seattle. So that'll be
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: interesting because, yeah, Justin Herbert, you look at the numbers,
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: one of the best out there, but then it just doesn't,
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: It's interesting.
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: So we'll obviously get into him in a couple weeks.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: We'll jump into the head-to-head. We'll kind of breeze through this.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: It's one week, right?
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: You don't have a lot of data. Right now, if
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: you looked at it, the Seahawks don't look like a
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: very good offense. They're tied for 20th in total offense,
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: 21st in rush offense, 17th in pass offense. Tied for
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: 25th in points per game at 13. Defensively, 11th in
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: total defense, 16 in rush, 8th in the pass, 2nd
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: in points allowed.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: It's one game.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: It's hard to really take a lot from it, especially
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: the score is what it is.
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: And if you look at the Cardinals, that's a great
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: offense after week one.
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: 8th when it comes to total offense, 16th when it
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: comes to running the box, 6th passing, and 16th when
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: it comes to points per game. And if you look
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: at that one game, those stats, Cardinals got a better
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: defense on paper, apparently. Yep. ninth overall, seventh against the run,
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: 15th against the pass, and ninth when it comes to
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: points allowed. We got to read these stats because that's
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: what we do. They really don't mean much until like
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: week four, three or four.
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you got to develop patterns. It's really hard.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: You hear Coach McDonald, everyone talking about it. It's hard
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: to develop tendencies. It's hard to develop anything of who
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: you are. Like those stats don't say that you lose
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: your starting quarterback after five plays.
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: Right. Those stats don't say you ran.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: 48 plays as an offense and you were, I believe,
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: two of 11 on third down. So, you know, Stats
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: are what they are through one week. That's how the
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: guys stack up head-to-head. But these teams, obviously, being in
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: the same division, have played a lot. Let's know the history.
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: Know your history.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: Seahawks leading the all-time series 31-22 and won that tie
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: in 2016, but have been dominant in recent years. They've
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: won nine in a row and 10 of their last 11.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: Last loss came in 2021. Russell Wilson was coming off
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: his broken finger. And it's been a domination bump, especially
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: last time these two teams played. Seahawks were... up 35-0
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: before the Cardinals scored a point. You had that crazy game.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: DeMarcus Lawrence scores two touchdowns. Thank you, Tyrese Knight. Two
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: strip sacks in there. Sam Darnold was 10 of 12, 178,
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: one touchdown interception. Charbonnet had 83 yards and a touchdown. JSN,
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: 93 yards, five receptions, touchdown. Like I said, T. Knight,
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: eight tackles, two sacks, three TFLs, two quarterback hits. The
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: best game he has played as a pro for a show.
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: Trey McBride is only a really good day for the
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: Cardinals last time. Nine receptions, 127 touchdowns. Yards, one touchdown.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: He's going to be the key to stopping this thing.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: We're going to dive into all the matchups that we
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: want to see in this game. But before that, let's
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: check on the NFC West.
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: What's the word?
• 6:20
  Speaker 5: Where my soldiers at? Westside!
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: Where my soldiers at?
• 6:23
  Speaker 5: Westside!
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: And the Seahawks are the NFC West champs again. What's
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: the word in the West on Hawk Talk? Everybody won
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: but the Rams. The Rams lost to the Niners.
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: So you got the Hawks 1-0, Niners 1-0, Cardinals 1-0,
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: and the Rams 0-1.
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: And let's go to Australia for a little bit. All right.
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: There's a huge showdown in the NFC West last week
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: between everyone's Super Bowl favorite, the Los Angeles Rams, taking
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: on the Niners in Melbourne.
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: It's not Melbourne. It's Melbourne. It depends on who you
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: talk to. All right. They were getting after the announcers
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: for calling it Melbourne, Melbourne. You know what? I'll go Melbourne, Australia.
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: I don't know if that's right, but yeah, we'll take it. Whatever.
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: We'll take it.
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: Hey, no disrespect to the Aussies out there.
• 7:02
  Speaker 5: All right.
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: My bad.
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: Hey, so much was made about the Rams' decision to
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: fly up the day before the game and play right
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: away instead of going up early and and getting acclimated
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: to the massive time difference.
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: They tried to outsmart the room. It felt like it
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: didn't work.
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: Not sure what role that actually played, but the Rams
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: fell flat, getting smacked by the Niners 27-7. Head coach
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: Sean McVay said, I know there's going to be a
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: lot of narrators that appropriately put the blame on me,
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: and then we'll move forward the right way. McVay said,
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: I don't believe... Travel plans. It's why we didn't play well.
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: I really don't. On the field, the Rams' high-powered offense
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: was not existing, scoring one touchdown all afternoon. This is
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: their drive chart, Naz. Punt, punt, touchdown, interception, punt, end
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: of half, downs, fumble, downs, end of the game. Didn't
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: look good for the former MVP either.
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: Not at all. I mean, I think part of this
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: is unfair, right?
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: Everyone from the minute they got Myles Garrett, Aaron Donald
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: coming back, Matthew Stafford, Pook, all this stuff, everyone crowned
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: them before the season had started. Now, do I think
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: they're still going to be a really good football team?
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: Of course they're going to be. Did this travel play
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: a role?
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: I think, of course, it did.
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: I think it would be hard to say it didn't.
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: We just traveled to Germany a couple years ago. We
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: felt the travel.
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: We felt it.
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: And you know what? We had to land and go
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: to work, too. We felt that. No, but that being said,
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: it didn't work, and they didn't look good. Stafford 15-25, 155,
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: no touchdowns, interception, QB rating of 61.2. I promise you
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: that'll probably be his worst stat line of the entire season.
• 8:30
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: Kyron Williams only had 41 yards. Nikul was held in check, 5-74.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: Miles Garrett, who set the sack record the year before
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: all that, made sure on paper they're the best thing
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: of all time. Never been better. Well, he registered no tackles,
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: no sacks, no QB hits. Now there might have been
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: a reason for it. Obviously, he's got a bum knee.
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: He goes to IR dealing with that injury. We'll see
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: what happens. Just a bad day. And obviously, I think
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: I don't want to go too far down this road
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: and bask in the glory of the Rams losing. But
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: I think it's just a reminder to everybody, and I
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: already said it, the Rams are going to be a
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: good football team, but you can't crown people in September.
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: Nah.
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: It's the NFL. They're playing against a lot of dudes
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: that are probably going to have some gold jackets for
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: the Niners, too.
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah. You know what I'm saying?
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: So you just cannot assume anything. Can't take anything for granted.
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: For the Niners, Brock Purdy went 25-34, 2-0-5, three tutties.
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: Demarcus Robinson, Michael Evans, Deebo Samuel each had a touchdown.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: Fred Warner, probably the best pound-for-pound linebacker in the league.
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: 11 tackles, one pass defended, forced fumble. Nick Bosa's back.
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: So the Niners are going to be a threat, obviously.
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: They're back. They're fully healthy.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: It'll be really interesting to see what happens when the
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: Seahawks play them in October. But, Bob, this NFC West
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: is still the best division in the NFL, and every
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: week is going to be dogfight.
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, man.
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: You even got the Cardinals just trying to make noise
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: week one. Say, don't forget about us. We'll see if
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: they can last or not. Obviously, we play them this weekend. But, yeah,
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: the NFC West, NFC North. I think the two best
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: divisions of football right now.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: Yep get your popcorn ready each and every week let's
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: get back in those arizona cardinals man.
• 10:04
  Speaker 5: Up hey who you got who you got you know
• 10:07
  Speaker 5: what time it is man up man up brother man
• 10:09
  Speaker 5: up man up on hawk talk where do we start
• 10:13
  Speaker 5: always with the quarterbacks jacoby brissett bump taking on the
• 10:17
  Speaker 5: seahawks defense Pretty much this whole offseason, we were worried
• 10:20
  Speaker 5: about a contract.
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 10:21
  Speaker 4: Right?
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: So he finally got that.
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: Going, but he didn't participate in any 11-on-11 offseason stuff.
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: Inked a deal worth $ 15. 5 million with a chance for
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: incentives that can net an additional $ 21 million. Huge boost
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: from the $ 4. 9 he was scheduled to make.
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: Hey, way to get your money, Jacoby. I ain't mad
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: at that.
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: Well, and speaking of incentives bumps, SportTrack reported that Brissette
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: earned $ 285, 000 bonus for the win and will do so
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: in every Cardinals win up to 10, in which he
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: plays at least 50% of the snaps.
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: Already making more money.
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: So, obviously, if you're a quarterback, I'm hoping you're playing 50%
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: of the snaps. I mean, that's a nice little payday.
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: Instant gratification.
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: Good for you, man.
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: On the field, though, he's at up and down 11-year career.
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: He's been around the league. Dolphins, Patriots, Colts, Commanders, Browns,
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: Patriots again. Enders his second season with the Cardinals. Really
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: been a starter for about four of those years in
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: the NFL. Last season, though, career year. Career highs and
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: completion percentage, completions, attempts, touchdowns.
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: You name it.
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: 315, 485, 64% completion percentage, 3,366 yards, 23 touchdowns, 8 interceptions,
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: 38 carries, 168 in one touchdown. Now, he only made
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: one start against Seahawks last year. He went 22 of 44, 258,
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: two touchdowns, was sacked five times, fumbled twice, both being
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: returned for touchdowns. And he also got a lot of
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: garbage time numbers to end that game. And last week
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: against the Chargers, like we said earlier, 27, 37, 277,
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: one touchdowns, QB rating 103.1. Didn't light the world on fire,
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: but is a guy that's competent, can lead a team. Bump,
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: you said earlier on the huddle, I think you had
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: a good stat for Jacoby Brissett.
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: Yeah, since week six of 2025, every game he's had
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: at least 200 yards and at least one touchdown. The
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: jacked up part about that is they've only won two
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: games in that span. So he's doing his thing, but
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: he needs a little bit of help over there, a
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: little bit of help.
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: Good quarterback.
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: If Jacoby Brissett was a backup, he'd probably be the
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: second or third best backup in the league right now
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: behind Drew Locke. Let's talk about Drew Locke. Drew Locke,
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: I'm against his cardinal defense. We know Drew Locke. We
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: love Drew Locke. Man, he is considered in most circles
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: the best backup in the game. But let's remind you
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: about his journey. He's played a good amount of ball
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: for seven years, second-round pick in 2019, started 28 games
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: in the NFL, including much, His first two years at Denver.
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: Remember those clips of him rapping on the sideline? We
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: love it.
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: He made his way to Seattle in the Russell Wilson
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: trade back in 2022. Competed for Geno with Geno for
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: a starting job that eventually went to Smith. Locke had
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: COVID before he was scheduled to start the second preseason
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: game of the year.
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: And after that, Smith had run away with the job.
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: Locke was a backup during the 2022 and 2023 seasons.
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: He started two games in 23, including a thrilling comeback
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: against the Philadelphia Eagles.
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: Can't forget that.
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: It was like a 92 yard fourth quarter drive to
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: Jason to win that thing. Um, then he left for
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: the giants in 2024, started five games over there, a
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: little bit of up and down, had a couple of
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: games where he looked good. And then, um, I came
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: back only the fifth player in the NFL history to
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: have 300 or more passing yards, four or more touchdowns,
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: one or more rushing TDs and a passer rating of
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: better than one 55 in the same game.
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: Joining Aaron Rogers, Drew Reese, Josh Allen, and Ryan Fitzpatrick.
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: That was one of those games with the giants. Thank you.
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: Um, He's got some good ball. You know what I'm saying?
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: He showed that last week. So I'm excited to see
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: what Drew can do this week. Last week, 16 of 22, 187,
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: one touchdown, no interceptions, a QB rating of 113.3.
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: Can he back it up?
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: I think, Drew, the fact that he's going to get
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: all the reps in practice, and I look at it, too.
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: You play on a Wednesday night. You don't play for
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: like 11 days or whatever it is. While the players
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: had Friday, Saturday, Sunday off in the building, I promise
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: you Drew Locke did.
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: Not take that weekend off.
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: So now you get extra days with the head coach,
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: extra days with your offensive coordinator. I think the operation
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: is going to be cleaned up a bunch. I don't
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: think people understand how hard it is to be thrown
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: into that position. And if you have, it's hard in
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: high school. It's hard at any level. But at this level,
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: to be thrown in without getting any physical reps and
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: you're playing a game in the National Football League on
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: That's hard to do.
• 14:23
  Speaker 4: Yeah, man.
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: It's hard.
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: And he stepped up. I think he's going to look
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: really good. We know what he's capable of, I think,
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: between him and Fleury in this offense. They're going to
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: call things that he wants to run, that he's good
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: at running, that he can operate. I feel like it's
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: going to be a pretty good day for Drew Locke,
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: but we'll see on Sunday. Flipping back over to the Cardinals,
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: let's look at the running back room. Jeremiah Love, Tyler
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: Algier against the Seahawks front seven. Something's got to give here.
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: You got some good running backs, a good rush defense.
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: Jeremiah Love, the hype. He's the third pick in the draft.
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: He did a ton of stuff at Notre Dame. Unanimous
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: first-team All-American, became the first player in Notre Dame's storied
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: program to be named Doak Walker Award winner as the
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: nation's top running back. Ton of stats. I mean, I
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: could go on and on and on. 42 total touchdowns,
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: 2,497 yards, 35 touchdowns in his last two years. He
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: did all the thing, went on all the lists. Obviously,
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: we know him pretty well because he split a backfield
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: with our guy, Jadarian Price. We're going to talk about
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: Price in here in a second. But Love made his
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: highly anticipated debut on Sunday. And, you know, coming off
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: an injury because he hadn't practiced for about a month
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: in there. But anyway, 11 carries. On those 11 carries,
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: he forced six missed tackles. So he had a little wiggle.
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: Him and Algier.
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: Algier got a little bit more of the carries there.
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: But Love showed a little bit there. There's a little bird.
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: We know why he got drafted that high. So it'll
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: be interesting to see that matchup, how those two kind
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: of split carries, because Algier, he's been an established product
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: in this league, and he's been put in a tough
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: situation both times.
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: He's in Atlanta. He has 1,000 yards as a rookie.
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: Who did they draft? Bijan Robbins.
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: Bijan does his thing, and he still had production when
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: he was out there. He had at least 500 yards
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: with three touchdowns the last couple years, and now he
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: comes to Arizona, and they draft Jeremiah Love. It is
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: what it is, but he's a good player. He's a
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: good running back, both of them, between them, can do
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: some really good things. So it'll be interesting to see,
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: because as we know, this Seahawks defense has been shutting
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: down the run, have not allowed a hundred yard rusher
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: for a franchise record, 27 consecutive games. That's the longest
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: current streak in the national football league. Something's got to give,
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: and I'm going to tip my cap to the Seahawks
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: because it's hard not to the way they've been playing defensively.
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's, that's impressive. 27 consecutive games, man, more than
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: a season and a half. So that's good for these guys. And,
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: Let's switch over to our running backs. We got Price, Helani,
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: and Wilson against this Cardinal defense. Uh, they didn't run
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: for a ton of yards against the pass, but the
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: potential is there. You can see it was on full display.
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: You got Price who rushed for 52 on 10 carries.
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: He had a couple explosive runs, especially that first one, right?
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: 13 yards.
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: I'm feeling it. Uh, I expect to see Price to
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: get a few more touches this week. In week one,
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: Price was on the field for 24 plays. That's 48%
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: of the snaps. You got George Helani, who I like,
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: I like the mix-up with George in there. Man, different
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: type of runner. Um, Against the Patriots, he had 29
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: on eight carries. He was on the field for 23 snaps.
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: That's 46%. See the trend? One-two combo. We're going to
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: give Helani some love, too. And Emmanuel Wilson, who I
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: think is going to be like that short yardage type
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: of guy. He had three yards on two carries. Wilson
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: was only on the field for three snaps. But I
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: think his is more situational. Short yardage type of situation.
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: Get him there.
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: Last week, the Cardinals held the Chargers to 81 rushing
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: yards on 21 carries.
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: Let's see how these three running backs do this week
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: against that defense.
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: I think if you only run 48 plays, it's hard
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: to get as much as we thought Price would get.
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: Because we saw that burst initially. We're like, okay, they're
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: going to run the rock. For me, I'm hoping he
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: gets at least 15 carries. I would love him to
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: touch the ball 20 times. Because in my opinion, if
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: he touches the ball 20 times, 12 targets for JSN,
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: we're probably dominating time of possession if that happens. So
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: we will see about that. Flipping it back over to
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: the deadly weapons the Cardinals have. Probably the best player
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: on their team. Correct me if you think I'm wrong here.
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: You're right. Trey McBride. Kendrick Bourne's another weapon, and Marvin Harrison.
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: McBride really, the last couple years, has shown he's a dog.
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: Earned first-team AP All-Pro honors in 2025, becoming the first
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: tight end in franchise history for the Cardinals to do that.
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: Named to a second consecutive Pro Bowl. First four seasons,
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: appeared in 66 games, 347 receptions, 3,475 yards, 17 touchdowns.
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: He's doing his thing.
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: His 347 receptions, most in NFL history by a tight
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: end in the first four seasons. And last year, his
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: 126 receptions established a new NFL single-season record for a
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: tight end. So he's doing his thing. Clearly, he's a
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: focal point in their offense. He's Jacoby Brissett or whoever's
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: playing quarterback, safety blanket there. He's someone that you're definitely
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: going to look to shut down. We don't know about
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: the status of Nicky Minori. He's back to the practice field.
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: But these are the kind of matchups when he's healthy
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: that I would look for him to be a part of.
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: The Trey McBrides, the— The, you know, why am I
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: blanking on the 49ers?
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: George Kittle. Thank you.
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: Lost it for a minute. But week by week, you're
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: focused on Brad. But players like that, you'd hope Eamon
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: Worry is a big factor in that. And then, Bump,
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: I'll say this last thing about these weapons offensively. Kendrick Bourne,
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: Eastern Washington alum, played with Cooper Cup. And I was
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: thinking about this as I was writing the notes today.
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: And I just want to take a moment. for any
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: defensive backs who played in the Big Sky Conference.
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: From 2013 to 2016. Yeah, that was tough.
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: I think you endured some trauma. I think no one's
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: really talked about that a lot, so I'm here to
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: help you guys out.
• 19:45
  Speaker 4: No one's brought it up enough, no cooper coven we're
• 19:48
  Speaker 4: doing some nasty things with those dudes good to see
• 19:50
  Speaker 4: those guys still having really long careers coming out of
• 19:53
  Speaker 4: eastern washington so big ups there born's been kind of
• 19:55
  Speaker 4: all over the league but he's had a nice little
• 19:57
  Speaker 4: career last year 37 receptions 551 yards and then their
• 20:01
  Speaker 4: last big threat marvin.
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: Harrison huge expectations through the roof you're coming from the
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: wide receiver you like people like to say ohio state
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: Your name is Marvin Harrison, your dad, Hall of Famer.
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: We know all that.
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: One reception, 33 yards bump in week one. Last year,
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: kind of a little bit step back, some injuries, 41 receptions,
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: 608 yards, four touchdowns.
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: There's a lot of turmoil. Kyler to Jacoby, all that stuff. Yeah.
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: I don't know, but on paper, this should be a
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: really good unit, whether it's tight end, wide receivers. We
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: know what Trey McBride can do. We know what Bourne's
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: been able to do. The verdict is still out on
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: who Marvin Harrison is going to become.
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: We know how good he is. Was that going to
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: show on the field? Time will tell. Didn't he have
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: a game with three or four touchdowns last year? Yeah,
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: he's had a game.
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: He he had the first matchup against Seattle. He had
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: a bunch of like he had a couple of bad drops.
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: I think one ended up being an interception for Ernest Jones.
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: He ended up getting a touchdown in that game. I
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: think he beat Spoon on a play.
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Spoon was a little dinged up at the time, too.
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: But we've seen it. The the the. The potential is there.
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: Just are we going to see that take place?
• 21:02
  Speaker 3: Put it all together. Put it all together. I believe
• 21:04
  Speaker 3: in you, brother. Just don't put it together this weekend.
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: Not this week or November 8th.
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: There we go.
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: Next up, we got our receiving core, JSN. Cooper Cupp,
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: Rasheed Shaheed. JSN picked up right where he left off.
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: Why wouldn't he?
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: Eight receptions and 122 yards and a touchdown on 11 targets.
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: A long of 44. Nice throw by Drew Locke on that, too, man.
• 21:24
  Speaker 3: Getting pressure. JSN turns, catches the rock. The rest is him.
• 21:28
  Speaker 3: He passed Joey Galloway for ninth on Seattle's all-time receptions
• 21:31
  Speaker 3: list with 290. Passed Korn Robinson for 10th. He continues
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: to show why he's the best in the game. He
• 21:38
  Speaker 3: just gets open. He finds ways to run by people.
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: It's unorthodox, but I love the way he does it.
• 21:43
  Speaker 3: He needs 81 yards to pass Steve Largent for fourth
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: most receiving yards in a player's first four seasons in
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: franchise history.
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: That'll be 3,754.
• 21:51
  Speaker 3: And 136 to pass Joe Jackson for third most in
• 21:55
  Speaker 3: two games versus the Cardinals.
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: Jason.
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: The last season was balling, nine receptions, 172, one-yard touchdown.
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: JSN just doing JSN things no matter who.
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: Is under center.
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, he is– the record books at this
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: pace are going to be completely rewritten. We saw DK
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: Metcalf start to do a lot of that his first
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: couple years here. JSN, I mean, nothing is showing that
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: he's going to slow down, especially after week one, so
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: I expect big things there. The one thing I'm interested in, Bump,
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: is are we going to see more from Cup and
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: Rasheed in the stat sheet. I know they're contributing. They're
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: obviously doing stuff. They're a part of this equation. Do
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: you think that changes it all this week?
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: I think it could.
• 22:35
  Speaker 3: You got to find a way to get Deuce Deuce
• 22:36
  Speaker 3: to rock. I think if there's anybody who's content with
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: just being a blue collar, work hard for this type
• 22:42
  Speaker 3: of guy, it's Cooper Cup. But Shahid does something that
• 22:46
  Speaker 3: very few can do in this league, which is run
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: by anybody. And when you have that type of speed,
• 22:50
  Speaker 3: you got to get him going. So, yeah, I think
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: they do. And the more attention that Jason is going
• 22:55
  Speaker 3: to get, the more opportunities for everyone else. Why not
• 22:58
  Speaker 3: the guy you decide to keep in Rashid Shaheen?
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: Absolutely. Hey, we'll see.
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: And one other big ups guy in their secondary, another
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: local tie, Buda Baker.
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: Buda.
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: Still making plays in the back end. Pro bowler for
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: the eighth time in 2025. He's been in the league
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: for 10 seasons.
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: That's nuts.
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: This is year 10. He's had 100-plus tackles in six
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: of his 10 seasons. Last year, 120 tackles, five pass defended,
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: one interception, half a sack for TFL.
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: So he's still a problem there in the back end
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: for these Cardinals. Big ups to Buda. Good dude.
• 23:26
  Speaker 5: Now.
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: It's the end of the show. We're going to tell
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: you how the Seahawks are going to get this done.
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: Path to victory. At the 45, waits for the snap.
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: Michael Dixon puts it down. That kick is away. And
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: that kick is good! The Seahawks win!
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: It's good!
• 23:42
  Speaker 5: It's a path to victory on Hawk Talk.
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: A little shout-out to Jason Myers, by the way. I
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: just heard him kicking a field goal. Way to come
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: out and do your thing week one.
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, for real. Just do what you're supposed to do.
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: Got rid of the yips.
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying? Like, it was, you know,
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: I'd expect nothing less from him, but just a little...
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: A little shout-out to Jason Myers. I know some people
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: were a little concerned. I'm not concerned with you, dog.
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: We know what you've been able to do. But anyway,
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: I hope you're not a big factor on Sunday for
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: the Seahawks. It's a division opponent bump. A lot of
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: hype heading into week one. Super Bowl rematch, dropping a banner,
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: only game on TV, all these things going on. Now
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: in week two, it's not going to be the same
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: type of hype.
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Make sure there's not a letdown. No letdown.
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: And I know there's not going to be one. From
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: the veterans in this locker room, the coach that– The
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: Seahawks have. I don't think there's any chances of letdown,
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: especially given what the Cardinals did in week one.
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: But just make sure there isn't. That should be an
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: issue at all.
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: I expect them to come out and improve on what
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: they did in week one.
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, man, it starts with QB, Drew Locke.
• 24:37
  Speaker 3: He was able to get the reps in practice all week,
• 24:40
  Speaker 3: so I expect the operations to be cleaner.
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: He doesn't need to do anything special. You have a
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: team around you.
• 24:45
  Speaker 3: This isn't like you're playing for the Bills and Josh
• 24:47
  Speaker 3: Allen has to throw for two touchdowns and rush for
• 24:49
  Speaker 3: two touchdowns, right? You have a team around you. Just
• 24:51
  Speaker 3: take care of the football. Get it to your receivers.
• 24:53
  Speaker 3: Let them be the talent, and you will be okay.
• 24:56
  Speaker 3: and eliminate mental mistakes. No pre-snap penalties that drove me
• 24:59
  Speaker 3: crazy last game.
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that makes me want any offensive coach,
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: play caller.
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: I mean, when you're thinking about it and you're behind
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: the sticks all the time, you're just trying to get
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: stuff in. I think it's going to be way smoother.
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: Like you said, get rid of those pre-snap penalties and
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: run the football. I want to see Jadarian Price. Jadarian Price.
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: Jadarian Price. Jadarian Price. Jadarian Price. Jadarian Price. I want
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: to see him ball out. I want to see him
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: 15 carries. I want to see him 15 to 20.
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: I think we're just seeing the tip of the iceberg
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: with him. We've talked to him. He has a quiet
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: confidence about him. You look at him and how he
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: runs the football. I'm excited to see what he can do.
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: Hopefully we get to see that on Sunday.
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: Yes, sir.
• 25:34
  Speaker 3: And then defensively, Haraj, Jacoby Brissett, make his life a living.
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: You know what?
• 25:39
  Speaker 3: Because he's shown he can play decent ball, man. And
• 25:42
  Speaker 3: just keep taking the football away. Three interceptions in week one.
• 25:46
  Speaker 3: And that's with some twos out there as well getting burned.
• 25:50
  Speaker 3: So this roster is truly 70 deep.
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: Absolutely.
• 25:54
  Speaker 5: I hope.
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: Rodney Thomas is out there again. I expect him to
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: make plays. Nehemiah Pritchett, best game as a pro. I
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: expect him to make plays.
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: Josh Jobe.
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: He's an established corner in this league now. I'm expecting
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: a lot from the secondary. I'm going to try to
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: see a good game in the desert with the Seahawks
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: taking on these Cardinals.
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: Thanks for watching, listening. Reminder, you can hear us anywhere.
• 26:11

• 26:16
