• 0:27
  Speaker 1: State has found himself a place on this team. Now
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: here's your host, NASA Chubby. Welcome into another edition of
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: Hawk Talk. The Seahawks taking on the Los Angeles Rams,
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: who are three and eight in the NFC West. Huge matchup.
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: Seahawks want to get it done. They will have no
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: excuses this week with a banged up Rams team. But
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: as we know, these Rams play the Seahawks a very
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: tough at every single time. So let's waste no more time.
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: Let's get right into it. What's untapped these Rams three
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: and eight? Like I said in the NFC West with
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: losses to the Bills, forty nine Ers, Cowboys forty nine
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: Ers again, Tampa Bay Bucks, Arizona Cardinals, New Orleans Saints,
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: and the Kansas City Chiefs. But these guys are struggling.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: I would be straight. That's what it is. If all
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: these dudes are struggling, they're not playing good football at
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: this point. They're dealing with a bunch of injuries. The
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: Super Bowl hangover looks real as heck with this group
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: right here. I didn't expect it's going into the season.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: I thought that it'd be a two man race for
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: the division and maybe the Hawks could get into the mix.
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: Right now, the Hawks are in the mix, and these
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: guys are at the bottom of the division looking up
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: at everybody. Yeah, it's crazy. I mean, how the Mighty
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: have fallen? Defending Super Bowl champs have lost five games
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: in a row and seven of their last eight. Well,
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: every single team in the NFL bump is, you know,
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: it's pretty banged up. The Rams, though, they have been
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: absolutely crushed on injuries. Eight new starters from Week one
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: to Week twelve. Rob Havistein is the only lineman to
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: start both games currently without Cooper Cup, Alan Robinson Matthew
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: Staffords got a neck issue. He's in concussion protocol as well.
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: John McVay said he was not going to play this week.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: Aaron Donald's out, Joe knut Bloom had achilles surgery, Starting
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: center Bryan Allen's deeld injuries, and they also started running
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: Mac Dayrell Henderson and according to the LA's Sports Bureau,
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: the Rams were the only team in the Super Bowl
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: era since nineteen sixty six to use different starting five
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: man offensive line combination in each of its eleven games
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: of a season. That's not good. That can't be good.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: No consistency, no no cohesion. Always say that office in
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: line needs to be a nickel, not five pennies. I
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: got some pennies going on over there, man, I got
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: some change. It's crazy, man, because these Rams. When I
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: think of the Rams, it was the reincarnation of the
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: greatest show on tour for last couple of years down
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: there throwing that thing. Stafford, Cooper Cup. They had woods
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: over the years, higby all those guys. It's just not
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: going their way, and it did not go their way
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: against the Chiefs last week. You know, regardless of health,
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: you know it's gonna be tough games for the Rams
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: because they're playing the Chiefs, one of the best teams
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: in the league. They without Stafford and Cup. As I mentioned,
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: Bryce Perkins, a Uva guy, got his start at quarterback.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: He prayed a senior year at Virginia twenty nineteen and
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: predominantly been on the Rams practice squad the last two years,
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: filling in for Stafford. In that start, he won thirteen
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: of twenty three for one hundred yards one touchdown in
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: two interceptions. Van Jefferson led the Rams with just twenty
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: nine yards on three receptions in a touchdown. Rams defense
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: played pretty well, because that's the one thing they're doing
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: pretty good right now. But a third quarter touchdown from
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: Isaiah Picico made to score twenty two three and the
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: Rams would only get a touchdown early in the fourth quarter.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: Chiefs of that couple field goals end up winning that
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: ballgame twenty six to ten. Man. But when you look
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: at his head to head, what stands out with the
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: struggling Rams team. What stands out for this team who
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: was struggling is that they are good against the run.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: There are number four in the league against the run,
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: allowing ninety seven yards per game. We know that the
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: Hawks have been struggling for a couple of weeks when
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: it comes to running a rock. So let's see what happens.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: Total defense, they are a tenth I'm talking about the
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: rams and against the past, they are twentieth points allowed.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: They are eighteenth allowing twenty three points per game. You
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: look at their defense, you say, all right, they're doing okay.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: Let's look at that offense. Office ring thirty first in
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: the league overall, thirty first when it comes to running
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: the ball, twenty fourth when it comes to throwing the ball,
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: twenty ninth when it comes to points per game. So
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: you have a defense that statistically has been doing okay.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: But then you look at all the games that these
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: guys have played, obviously they're not doing enough. Because his
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: office is a contribute as well. You look at the Seahawks,
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: they are twelfth overall in offense, sixteenth running the ball,
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: ninth throwing the football, and fourth when he comes to
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: scoring points to getting twenty six point five. Defensively, they
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: have struggled, especially as of late. Their thirtieth overall, twenty
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: nineth against the run, twenty third against the past, and
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: twenty eighth when it comes to given the points, twenty
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: five point five turnover differential is crucial right here, all right,
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: the Hawks has done a good job of that balance, right,
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: they don't turn it over more than they do. They're
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: plus four, that's fifth in the league. The Rams, on
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: the other hand, are minus seven, twenty ninth in the league,
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: tied for twenty ninth. So you can take care of
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: the football and force him to turn the ball over.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: The odds are in your favorite. Yeah, that jumped up
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: to me too, minus seven, tied for twenty nights. As
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: you said, But the thing is bump. They were turning
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: the ball over when they were healthy. Stafford had a
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: lot of turnovers this year, a couple of picks sixes,
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: and they weren't taking the ball take care of the
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: ball as an offensive unit. So it's a struggle bus
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: right now. I mean that it is what it is
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: when you look at their stat leaders. Cam Akers leads
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: a team with two hundred and seventy four rushing yards.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: He's back, Yeah, he's back back. We'll get into those two.
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: It's crazy, man. Like I said, I'm being a little
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: facetious talking about the Rams. How the Seahawks have no
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: excus this week and this and that just because of
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: the injuries. But it's the Rams. They always play the Seahawks.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: Stuff doesn't matter who they roll out there. And these
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: teams have played a lot over the years. Let's know
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: the history, No, your history. Seahawks lead the all time
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: series twenty five to twenty two, and the regular season
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: the Rams or two. And in the postseason, however, the
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: Rams have won eight of their last ten, including the playoffs. Dang,
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: I look at that. I'm likeke, have it really been
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: eight of ten? Holy smokes? But it's true. The last
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: time these two teams met was last year. The Rams
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: beat the Seahawks twenty to ten on a Tuesday afternoon.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: Yes I said a Tuesday. If you remember, the Rams
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: had a massive COVID outbreak and the Seahawks really got
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: the short end of the stick. The game got pushed
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: from Sunday to Tuesday, when the Rams had all their
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: guys that they were gonna miss if the game got
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: played on Sunday, all their guys got to come back.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: Unfortunately for the Seahawks when that transition, we lost her Locket,
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: DJ Read, Brandon Shell, Travis Homer, So it was not
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: ideal for the Seahawks, and in that game, Russell Wilson
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: really struggled seventeen to thirty one, just one hundred and
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: fifty six yards, no touchdowns in the interception. DJ Dallas
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: was a leading rusher with forty one yards on eight
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: carries in one touchdown. And the thing that stood out
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: about this game Bump out if you remember this, man,
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: fourth quarter, Seahawks get a big stop, get the ball
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: back down seven with five to twenty five in the game,
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: They're facing a third and one at the forty five.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: Rashad Penny gets called for a fall start where he
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: barely I mean it was tiki tack. I don't think
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: it was a questionable. Then on the next play, Russell
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: tries to find DJ Dallas and he gets tackled straight up.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: This gets tackled in the route. No one calls it.
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: DJ guy a little annoyed. I think he kicked the football.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: We got a fifteen yard penalty on top of that.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: It was it was a tough game at the end
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: of you know, towards the end of a tough season
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: last year. So you know, got all the bad juju out,
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: Bump got it all out. We know the Rams have
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: won eight of ten. But this is a new team,
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: a new week, so I'm excited. So let's figure out
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: what's going home in the West. What's the word and
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: the Seahawks or the NFC West champs? Again, what's the
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: word in the West? On Hot Talk? The things have
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: been changing in the NFC West the past couple of weeks.
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: On how it's the word leading that's saying they lose
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: to The Niners run a nice little windstreak. Garrison at
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: top of the NFC West at seven and four. The
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: Seahawks are behind them at six and five, Cardinals at
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: four and eight. In the Los Angeles Rams at the
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: bottom of the vision at three and eight, the Hawks
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: are now a game behind the forty nine ers, who
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: also have the tiebreaker because of that week to win.
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: If the Hawks want to cast these guys, the next
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: two weeks are just going to be important. You need
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: the Niners to lose this week against the Dolphins, that
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: is crucial, and then you take care of business on
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: Thursday Night football. In a couple of weeks you might
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: be back in this thing. But I let's talk about
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: what the forty nine ers did last week. They took
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: care of business. They beat the Saints third team to zero.
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: The Niners applying to good football. They're now on a
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: four game winning street. The defense is bawling. Three second
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: halves in a row. They have recorded a shutout. When
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: you're shutting team drop in the second half, you give
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: your teammate chance to wim. They also forced two fumbles.
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: I'm Kamara end at the NFL's longest active score street,
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: three hundred and thirty two games and nearly twenty one
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: years for the Saints. They score every single game, all right,
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: for twenty one years they've been They've been scoring as
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: long as the Mariners were in that playoff trout. I
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: didn't put enough points like that's that's consistency at his
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: finest man. The Saints were stopped near the goal line
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: twice in the second half. The first time was after
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: twelve plays eighty seven yard drive. Alvin Kabara fumbled on
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: the one with eleven minutes in the fourth training thirteenies zero.
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: The second time they fumbled, the Saints turned the ball
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: over on downs from the four yard line with six
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: minutes left. So the Saints had their chances but just
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: didn't get it done offensively. No one went off for
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: the Niners. Jimmy G had a Jimmy G type of day,
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: twenty six to thirty seven, twenty twenty two yards, one touchdown.
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: Brandon Iuc led all receivers with five receptions sixty five
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: yards and one. Jetings added forty nine yards and the
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: game's only touchdown on six receptions. Elijah Mitchell led all
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: running backs he at thirty five on seven and carries.
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: Things will get tougher for these nine ers. I mentioned
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: they got the Dolphins. I've never been more of a
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: Dolphin fan, yep than I am. This week Gold Dolphins
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: go to will get it done. I'm with you, man,
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: I mean the next two weeks. The Bucks lost last week,
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: but you remember they beat the Seahawks in Germany. There
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: good football team. So the next two weeks the Niners
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: are gonna have to play their best football and we're
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: gonna learn something about him because I think right now
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: everyone's kind of crowning him as a team to beat
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: in the NFC with all those weapons, and rightfully so.
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: They have a lot of dudes that can play. But
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: we'll see, We'll see what happens when they play the
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: Dolphins on Sunday. Recapping the Chargers at the Cardinals. Now,
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: the Rams are not the only team in a free
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: fall right now. Cardinals have lost six of eight games.
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: After losing a brutal game to Chargers twenty five twenty four,
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: Cardinals lad from majority of the game, took a twenty
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: four seventeen lead early in the fourth quarter. After eleven
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: play seventy five yard drive in a James Connor touchdown.
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: Both teams would punt mump on the next six drives,
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: with the Chargers getting the ball back with one forty
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: eight left in the game. Sounds like some good football,
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: Huhense lots of defensive stops man, But the problem was
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: when the Cardinals did punt that last time, they were
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: backed up. Then they allowed a twenty yard return. So
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: the Cardinal or the Chargers were in business first and
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: ten from the thirty eight. Chargers led the clock did
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: what they had to do justin Herbert found Austin Eckler
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: on a one yard touchdown with fifteen seconds remaining. Instead
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: of going for the tie Brandon's Daley, he went for
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: the win and it paid off, with Herbert finding former
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: Seahawk Gerald Everett for a two point conversion and the
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: Chargers winning twenty five twenty four. Murray had an average
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: ago in eighteen to twenty nine, one ninety one, two touchdowns,
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: win an interception. Had an interesting comment about what happened
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: on a fourth down play late in that game, and
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: just kind of about their offensive scheme, and he said
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: some choice words, and I'm not gonna restate on this podcast,
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: but schematically they messed up. Thank you, thank you. They
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: a little bit more colorful language, but they messed up.
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: James Connor had himself a day on one hundred and
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: twenty yards and twenty five carries, didn't have n F help.
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: De hopplettle receivers eighty seven yards, four receptions, one touchdown.
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: On the other side, Justin Herbert thirty five or forty
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: seven two seventy four three touchdowns also added thirty eight
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: yards on the ground. So right now the Seahawks have
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: lost two in a row. The Rams are free falling,
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: the Cardinals are falling right now. That looks like the
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: Niners are kind of ascending. But it's winning time for
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: the Seahawks. You know, the division is still in play.
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: They can still get after these guys, So right now
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: it's for the taking and It starts with taking care
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: of these Los Angeles rams. Let's figure about these rams?
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: Man up? Who is this man up? On Hawk Talk?
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: When I first read this, I just put rams QB
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: because who was gonna play today? In the press conference,
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: Sean McVay did note that Matthew Stafford most likely will
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: not play because of neck issues. He's been in concussion
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: protocol the last couple of weeks, so he's not gonna
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: play on Sunday. He's had a decent year in terms
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: of yards two or six or three or three to
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: two thousand and eighty seven yards, ten touchdowns, but eight interceptions.
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: He was sat twenty nine times with a QB rating
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: of eighty seven point four. Talked about it in the open.
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: Replacing Stafford was free agent Bryce Perkins from Virginia. A
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: decent day, as much as you can expect from a
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: guy that spent most of the time in the practice squad.
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: But they really loved in the preseason. He went thirteen
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: of twenty three hundred yards one touchdown with their two interceptions.
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: But the guy can't run the football forty four yards
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: on nine carries at University Virginia. He's pretty good, you know.
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: He let the record in total offense in a single
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: season three thousand and six on three yards in thirty
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: four touchdowns. So big Ray. We know he's a Virginia guy,
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: so he'd take big ups there. But this team, I mean,
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: I gotta say it like it is. This seems not
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: the same withou Matthew Stafford, Staffords guy has been saying
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: without Stafford, Old Dale, Alan Robinson, Cooper cup I mean,
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: this is a different looking team. But the one thing
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: we know we're gonna have is we're gonna have our quarterback.
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: He's gonna be in there. Geno Smith put together a
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: solid performance last week. There were a couple plays he
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: would want back for sure. You can look at that
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: Mesh fumble. Obviously the interception, a couple of throws I
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: could have been picked off. But nonetheless he gave you
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: a chance to win. He was twenty seven to thirty seven,
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: three twenty eight, two touchdowns, one interception, push Geno's third
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: game passing for for three hundred yards this season. That
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: three twenty is the third highest of his career. Genos,
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: he's getting better man. Even a game where he's still
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: an interception, and he still did some things that he
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: doesn't normally do this. Guy's patting his resume. He is
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: the NFL's leader in completion two point eight percent of
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: the passes he is completing. He is six in the
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: NFL with passing yards two thousand, eight hundred and two,
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: fifth in passing touchdowns in nineteen, second in QB rating
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: one on seven point nine, and fifth in QBR at
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: sixty four point two percent. You say this, You mentioned
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: this every week, yep, but we're gonna mention it again.
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: He has nine games with multiple TV passes this season.
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: He had seven of those games in his nine nine
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: year career so far. Gino also set a career highway
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: passing touchdowns with nineteen. So far this season, he's two
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: fifty seven for three fifty three two thousand, eight hundredwo yards.
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: Like I've mentioned, nine twenties, five interceptions, fifty carries for
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: two forty and one touchdow down. The Rams are tenth
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: in total defense, so it's not I mean, we still
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: feel like we should win this game, but respect the
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: Rams are playing some decent defense and they're twentieth against
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: the pass a line twenty to twenty six yards. I
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: really don't care about I think that Gino is in
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: a good place. Locket DK is in a good place.
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: Old linees have a little bounce back game. You know,
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: they got a little chucking up a little bit, but
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: that's football. Gonna win something to lose some. As long
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: as Gino's playing well, we got a chance, no question
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: about it. Gino. His numbers speak for themselves. He's played
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: himself into first place in NFC Pro Bowl voting. That's
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: how good he's playing. He's getting respect from fans across.
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: You'll definitely get the respect from guys in the league
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: playing against him. So definitely all the faith in the world.
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: The number seven at quarterback. Now these Rams running backs,
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: so cam Akers and Kyra and Williams are the ones
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: we're gonna spotlight here. The Rams about bad minute to
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: run the ball for any successfully this season thirty first
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: in the NFL. It's seventy nine yards per game. They're
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: leading rusher in twenty twenty two is Darrell Henderson who's
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: currently not on the roster and he only had seventy
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: carries for two hundred and eight three yards and three touchdowns.
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: He surprisingly let go last week. And then behind him
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: is Cam Acres eighty four carries two hundred seventy four
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: yards one touchdown, and it's been kind of an interesting
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: year for Acres. You know, he was inactive for two
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: games for personal reasons from the ramside. NFL insider Ian
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: Rapperport reported on October sixteenth, and Acres had philosophical and
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: football related differences with McVeigh and that Los Angeles was
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: expected to feel the trade. Obviously they didn't because he's
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: still there. So it's interesting. He resumed the starting running
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: back duties and he'll get most of the carries, so
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: on paper, he doesn't look good. Kyrie Williams, another running
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: back on the roster, barely played this season, but he
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: did have eleven carries last week, most he's played all season,
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: with thirty five yards. But bum you mentioned a little
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: bit before. I don't care about all that. It's about
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: the Seahawks this week. I mentioned that a little bit
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: last week. But defensively, it's about the Hawks because they
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: have struggled stop in the run. Two weeks, four hundred
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: and forty four yards rushing allowed one hundred and sixty
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: one of the Bucks two eighty three of the raiders
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: coming in the Bucks game. Similar to the Rams, the
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: Bucks were dead last in NFL and rushing at just
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: sixty yards per game, and then after they play the
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: Seahawks that kind of reverted back to the normal ways,
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: just rushing verse ninety six yards. Hawks, Kate can't take
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: them lightly, but it's about them. They need to make
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: adjustments in the run fit and they have the guys
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: to do it. Jordan Brooks leads the National Football League
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: and tackles. Cody Barton is playing better and better. Big
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: outs can throw anybody in their mom around because he
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: is just that strong. He can pick you up, Bench Prescia.
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: There's guys on this team that can get it done,
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: and I have faith in this coaching staff and faith
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: in Clint Hurt. They'll get this figured out. Similar to
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: that four game streak where it was kind of at
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: the drop of it the hammer right that all of
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: a sudden, this defense figured it out. I'm expecting that
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: bounce back coming into this RAM game, but they got
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: to take care of business about them, Yes, sir, it's
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: about the Hawks, and it's also about this offensive line.
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: And the seall offensive line was going to be going
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: up against Aaron Donaldland and Floyd and Greg Gang. Sounds
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: like Aaron Donald will not play, but let's give Aaron
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: Donald his flowers. We're here. Can't ignore the the man
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: this guy is. In sixteen games, that's daying there. That's
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: an old school regular season. In sixteen games, he's got
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: sixty five tackles, fifteen sacks at twenty four TFLs against
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: the Seahawks just alone in forty one QB hits. He
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: was definitely Russell Wilson's worst nightmare. But we talked about it.
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: He's got an ankle injury, probably not gonna play, so
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: thank you for that gift, Aaron Donald. Christmas is early,
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: but now you still got the up standale great games.
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: He has twenty tackles, three sacks and four TFLs. The
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: Seahawks offensive line struggled against the Raiders. You had Max
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: Crosby over there, you got young tackles a blue because
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: Charles Cross, I mean, days like that happened. There's no
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: way we're gonna go a full season and not have
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: this offensive line struggle. We've seen every position struggle on
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: this team at some point. That's just how the National
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: Football League goes. But that they are getting a break
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: this week, so I expect his officsive line to play
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: a bit better than last week, knowing that you don't
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: have to deal with Aaron Donald. Yeah, but there's another guy,
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: Leonard Floyd's on that team too, and he gives the
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: Seahawks troubles as well. He's got forty two tackles and
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: five sacks, six TFLs on the season. Against the Seahawks
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: in just six games, he has seventeen tackles, six sacks,
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: six TFLs, eight QB hits. So it's not gonna be easy.
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: But anytime, if you're awesome life, Damian Lewis, Phil Haynes,
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: Gabe Jackson, any one of those guys, and you look
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: up and you don't see ninety nine in front of you,
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: that's a good day. It's a good day. It's a
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: great day. So I'm looking forward to this offensively getting
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: back on track. It also should be no to Dave
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: Lucas was a little bit under the weather last week.
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: I think that was a big factor in his game
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: last week, just trying to dig through it and fight
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: through it. Just a play and then you have to
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: go ahead and then block Max Crosby, who's arguably the
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: best defensive lineman right now, in the NFL. It's a
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: tough task for anybody, but staying on an offensive line
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: kind of partnered and married to its ken Walker taking
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: on this Rams front seven ken Walker has been unable
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: to get things going the last two weeks us Bucks
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: ten kerry seventeen yard yards and then against the Raiders
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: fourteen carries for twenty six yards. Did have the two
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: touchdowns bump. And what stood out to me when I
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: look at this chart is his last three games is
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: the negative plays. Specifically against the Raiders, he had four
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: negative plays, but those negative plays went for minus twenty two.
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: So that's that's hard when you're when you're trying to
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: establish the run and you have those kind of plays,
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: because if you take away the negative plays, you know,
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: nine carries for forty eight yards and two touchdowns, you'll
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: take that. I mean, it's not the best game in
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: the world, but it looks a lot better than twenty
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: six yards if you lose twenty two. And unfortunately, like
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: we mentioned earlier, the Rams have the best, one of
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: the best rush defenses in the league fourteen in the NFL,
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: allowing just ninety seven yards per game. They have not
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: allowed a player to rush for over one hundred yards
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: this season till Sunday till Sunday. That's what I'm talking
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: about speaking to existence Bump. But they also got a
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: guy playing over there. He was number fifty four Hall
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: of Fame linebacker for the Seahawks, Bobby Wager now wearing
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: number forty five. He's gonna be jacked having ready to go.
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: That's the one thing. Whenever Bobby Wagner's got left in
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: his legs, he's gonna come out on Sunday. I feel
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: like he's gonna be rocking and ready to go. So
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: he's gonna be a guy if the Seahawks definitely need
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: to make sure they know where he's out in every player.
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: One is weird seeing Bobby in the four or five,
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: still not used to it. But two, this man has
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: played every single snapple on defense. So for people who
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: thought he's getting old, he's loss of step. Maybe he
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: has lost of step, but he's still out there every
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: single place. So we'll get a heavy dose of the
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: Seahawker legend Bobby Wags. But now let's focus on him
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: probably the matchup of the game. This is what everyone
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: has come to see. DK madcavers Jalen Ramsey. You got
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: two of the biggest trash talkers in the game. Every game.
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: Every year, DK's mouthpiece goes more and more, and I
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: love it personally. I love it. Not my game, not
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: the way I approach the game, but I like the
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: way DK does it. Man. The last two weeks, DK
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: has gone off, but he's been productive. Seventeen receptions one
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: hundred and sixty one yards on the year so far,
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: he's got fifty nine for six seventy one and four touchdowns.
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: These guys are gonna go out of it. So let's
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: look at the matchup. The last six games, okay, ah,
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: and what nineteen he had six recesions for seven eight
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: yards on six targets, and November of twenty two or
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: sevens for twenty eight, December twenty six for fifty nine,
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: January of twenty one five for ninety six two touchdowns
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: as a playoff game, and then in October twenty one
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: five for ninety eight two touchdowns, and then in December
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: twenty one six or fifty two on twelve targets. Ramsey
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: this year, well, still one of the best corners in
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: the league. Man fifty seven tackles, one interception, ten passes defended,
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: two forced fumbles, and four TFLs, including two sacks. Let's
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: look at Ramsey's last six games for Seattle and DK.
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: All right, he's got four tackles one game two in
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: that game with one tackle, one pass defendive, then three tackles,
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: one pass defended, four tackles, one pass defended, five tackles,
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: two pass defended. You know what I don't see on
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: that thing, which you don't see about no interceptions. All right,
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: let's keep the good times rolling. You're playing with a
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: more efficient quarterback. Gina's gonna take care of the rock.
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: But you gotta go at Ramsey. He's not a guy
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: you have the weapons. Still go ad Ramsey. I mean,
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: you don't specifically say, Okay, we're going after number five,
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: but you don't let his presence deter you from running
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: your offense, no question about it. And when you went
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: through those stats on Metcalf, I distinctly remember several of
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: those routes and those touchdowns where DK was one on
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: one with Jalen Ramsey and they things happen. And I
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: love how the Seahawks are really implementing the slant portion
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: of the game to DK when they see corners playing
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: off and stuff like that. So I look for him
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: to be active. And we say this every year. But man,
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: if you could get the raw, unfiltered copy miked up
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: of Jalen Ramsey DKA, I would absolutely pay for I
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: pay a lot of money for that because yeah, but
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: get your popcorn radios. Two are gonna battle it out.
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: Should be a fun matchup. Hopefully DKA comes out on top.
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: But the Seahawks have a big game this week. Let's
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: figure out how they get it. Une path to victory.
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: After forty five waits for the staff, Michael Vickton puts
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: it down. That kick is away, and that kick is gone.
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: It's gone. It's a pass to victory on Hawk Talk mom,
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: but sounds simple. Stop the run. The last two weeks
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: have not been to the standard of this football team.
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: It doesn't matter that the Rams are thirty first in
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: the NFL. The Seahawks needs to sure up their run
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: fits and hold the Rams rushing attacked on our hundred yards.
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: I think it's very doable. I mentioned earlier, there are
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: so many dudes on this defense that can play great
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: coaching staff, you know, things have gotten out a little
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: out of whack. Last two weeks. But I think they
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: can make things happen and get it back, and especially
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: this week. If it's gonna happen any week, it should
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: start this week and I'm looking forward to it. Yeah. Man,
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: let's make this up. As young quarterback looked like a
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: young quarterback. Bryce Herkins, right, he's making only his second start.
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: We need him to look like he's only making his
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: second start. Get after that and sack that young man.
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: We need QB hits. We need sacks. Has been a
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: couple of weeks and then a lemonade, the big turnover.
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: Two games in a row. We have turned the football
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: over when it feels like we're about to score and
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: change the momentum. Get after this quarterback. Cut him on
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: his wallet, take care of that football, yes the little
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: Steve Rabel mentioned and put him on his wallet. Hopefully
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: well see a lot of that. And on the other
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: side of the ball, Ken Walker. Need to get him going.
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: They need to establish a run. Ray Robert sucks about
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: snot bubble type games. They need to be physical and
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: get after this defensive line, especially without Aaron Donald. That's
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: a huge difference in the game. I think we got
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: the guys to do it. They've been good all season long.
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: Little hiccup last week, but I'm ready for them to
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: get after it. And you know, don't let them mess
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: up the game playing Leonard Floyd's a good player, great
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: game is a good player. Hat on a hat offensive line.
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: Answer the challenge, and I believe they can get this done. Bump, Yep,
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: they can't get it done. Get back into the win
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: column and do what I used to hate here and
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: growing up as a Laker fan. Beat l Hey, Hey,
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: the only time you're gonna hear me say that, we're
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: playing these dudes right here? Go get them. Can't wait, Bump,
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: I hope you're right. Speak that into for wishing the
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: Seahawks taking on the Rams in Los Angeles. Seahawks Radio
