Once again, Here's Michael Bumpus.

Speaker 2 (00:22):
The Seattle Seahawks improved to eight and five on the year.
This is the Seahawks post game showing Michael Bumbles with
Ray Roberts, Brian Walters and Paul Moore. Seahawks win thirty
to eighteen. Geno Smith has an efficient day twenty four
thirty two hundred thirty three yards and one touchdowns. Zach
Sharvine big day for the young man twenty two carries,
one hundred and thirty four yards and two touchdowns. Keetting

Smith and Jagoba five catches for eighty two yards. Zach
Sharbone in the past game as well, seven receptions fifty
nine yards a couple of turnovers by this Seahawks defense.
You had an interception by Kobe Bryant another one by
Ernest Jones. Second half the offense slowed down just a
little bit of overallf fin ah seven to fifteen on

(01:05):
third downs, four hundred and nine total yards, one hundred
and seventy six yards on the ground. This team got
it going. We got lots more to do. When we
come back to the guys are gonna give it analysis.

Speaker 3 (01:15):
We're gonna hear from the coach.

Speaker 2 (01:16):
I he steps up to the podium, players in the
locker room, and at the podium.

Speaker 3 (01:19):
All that is next right on the Unpcuall Bank Radio Network.

Speaker 2 (01:24):
Seahawks are now eight and five, beating the Arizona Cardinals
in Arizona, thirty to eighteen. And like we always do,
where it joined now by the voice of the Seahawks,
Steve Rabel Raves, this was an interesting one.

Speaker 3 (01:35):
The run game got going.

Speaker 2 (01:37):
You should see Big Ray and how he was celebrating.
He was a proud offensive lineman. What you see in
the run game.

Speaker 4 (01:43):
I'm not an offensive lineman, but I'm just as proud
as Big Ray is.

Speaker 5 (01:47):
You know. First of we were just talking about it
during the break.

Speaker 4 (01:50):
We always seem to save our best stuff for the
break by the bye. But David and I and the
way this game started and the quick throws, the getting
the ball to Charbonay, and the the tosses.

Speaker 5 (02:01):
Those kind of things made up for the running game.

Speaker 4 (02:05):
That was the run game early on, and I think
it just kind of morphed into a and effectiveness, be
a confidence, and pretty soon it was just all out.
I guess the kids now say they were bawling. I
guess that's what they were doing. I don't know, but
it was just a terrific offensive performance.

Speaker 5 (02:23):
Zach Charmonay. I'm sure he's going to be.

Speaker 4 (02:26):
You know, at the top of everybody's list, that on
all those fantasy teams. But what a job he did today.
And as he said, he couldn't have done it without
the guys in front of him. The wide receivers on
the outside block and you don't go fifty one without
a bunch of people making blocks. So all in all,
a great game plan, defense, two picks in the first
half to kind of set you up on the right

(02:48):
path to win this football game. The Seahawks came in
and I don't like to say he used the word dominated,
but a thirty to eighteen win was pretty convincing.

Speaker 2 (02:58):
Yeah, it feels good when you look at the score
and then you look at some of the things that
they improved on the run game obviously, and then taking
the full ball away is always nice.

Speaker 3 (03:06):
Gino Smith had.

Speaker 2 (03:07):
A fishing game twenty four thirty twenty thirty three yards.

Speaker 3 (03:10):
He was composed. What'd you make of his performance?

Speaker 4 (03:13):
No turnovers? My first thought, we got two picks. We
don't turn the ball over. Gino did just what he
had to do. Good throws. He missed a few guys,
but there were a couple of them too that were
just off the ends of fingertips that he kind of
had to throw there because of tight coverage by Arizona.

Speaker 5 (03:29):
So Gino did.

Speaker 4 (03:30):
All in my estimation, did all the things right. Led
this team did a nice job. Guys made plays for him,
especially in the running side of things. At JSN, I
don't know teams are going to try to double team him,
but he has just been remarkable here in this season
his ability and we kind of both appreciate this, and

(03:50):
at B Walter is there too.

Speaker 5 (03:52):
US receivers appreciate.

Speaker 4 (03:53):
Guys like that who against double coverage or reading the
zone and being able to throttle down and then accelerate
at the top of the route and make plays. He's
just been spectacular here in his second season, so nothing
to complain about. Didn't put the ball on the ground
on special teams, which was always a plus. Hey, let's
come home for two and take on the Packers, who

(04:14):
are not going to be an easy out.

Speaker 2 (04:16):
Last one I got for you, Raves. We did not
talk about any muff punts, drop kigs. Jalen Darting came
in and had one return for twenty seven yards and
one punt return for fourteen yards. Safe to say that
the special teams might be fixed for the time being.

Speaker 4 (04:32):
Well, I sure hope so, and I know they hope
so too. But he's just what the doctor ordered. He
has never had a muff punt as a professional. And
I've talked to a couple of the coaches earlier today.

Speaker 5 (04:45):
And they said, yeah, he's you know, he's just that
kind of guy.

Speaker 4 (04:47):
He's very quick on his feet and nimble, kind of
a long drink of water.

Speaker 5 (04:51):
He's not very big, but he's also makes guys miss.

Speaker 4 (04:55):
First guy almost always misses him, and that gets you
positive yards on returns. So if he can keep doing
what he's doing, you know, and uphold the whole special
team's end of things. Now, you've got all three phases
of this football team playing complimentary football, as Mike likes
to talk about. And it couldn't come at a better time.
Win in four straight and heading into the Final four

(05:16):
with the playoffs on the line, and you're now on
top by two full games, owning the edge as well.
It's just set up for the Seahawks to win. But
don't get over confident. Let's just go out and take them.

Speaker 6 (05:30):
One at a time.

Speaker 3 (05:31):
Here we go.

Speaker 2 (05:31):
It's a good day to be a Seahawks as always.
Get home, Safety, Tim Brian Raves. I'll talk to you soon.

Speaker 5 (05:37):
I will bump Thank you, sir.

Speaker 3 (05:38):
All right.

Speaker 2 (05:38):
The Seahawks are now ten to one to one against
Arizona State Farm Stadium since twenty thirteen. We'll talk about
that and more next the Seahawks win thirty eighteen.

Speaker 3 (05:50):
Welcome to the Seahawks postgame show.

Speaker 2 (05:52):
Michael Bumas with the fellas Big Ray, Brian Waltses and
Paul Moore. The Seahawks go to Arizona. They're coming back
with a w. There now eight and five, still alone
at the top of the NFC West. Good performers there
at Paul Moyer.

Speaker 7 (06:06):
Yeah, maybe the best all round performance we've had all year.
You know, offense, defense, special teams, special teams. You know
obviously rived the ship from last week with all the turnovers. Defensively,
god man, we just did another phenomenal job again, particularly
after that opening drive where they went ten plays seventy yards.
They only had three other drives where they were over
fifty and two of those were their last drive.

Speaker 8 (06:28):
So really good job one.

Speaker 7 (06:30):
You know, third downs bottled up Kyler Murray once again,
you know, slowed down. Maybe not as well against the run,
but you know again, I mean this is just two games,
this is five defensive games in a row. We are
the hottest defense in the league. Arizona was coming into
this game. We put over four hundred on them for
the game, so, you know, really good again. The roles

(06:52):
continue to develop. I thought Gino Smith was brilliant. You know,
he had a really good dad to day. We talked
about didn't need huge numbers, needed to be really efficient
in the game, and he did. He didn't have a
lot of incompletes, didn't take sacks, they only had two
quarterback hits and through big rail. Talk about the offensive
line because I thought we protected exceptionally well. So yeah,

(07:13):
just you know, generally fantastic game, three, game lead over Arizona.

Speaker 8 (07:18):
Now they're pretty much done.

Speaker 3 (07:20):
All right, Well let's hear from the head coach Mike
McDonald himself.

Speaker 9 (07:23):
All right, all right, good to see everybody. Great, great
team win for us.

Speaker 10 (07:31):
Man.

Speaker 9 (07:31):
Just the mentality that we're in right now, coming down
the home stretch December football. I thought the guys were
ready to play, trying to put it all together all
three phases. I thought we took a step today. On
special teams, I've been great. If Challe would have held
onto the ball when he's done by contact, gave me
a little scare. But offensively, being able to run the rock,
control the tempo of the game, find some explosives in.

Speaker 11 (07:53):
The running pass game.

Speaker 9 (07:54):
Defensively stelling down after that first drive and made some
adjustments as we went and then really you know, tried
to keep it, you know, a multiple score game in
the second half. So just this is a great win.
Great guys, had a great mentality, great week of prep.
So we got to keep stacking it and we got
a you know, we got a big game coming up
on prime time this this week. So excited, but we're

(08:15):
moving forward and keep stacking wins.

Speaker 12 (08:17):
What was working so well in the red game today?

Speaker 9 (08:20):
Well, I thought one, we had a great plan. Hats
off to the offsive line. I mean I thought they
bucked their tails off. I think I think what you're
seeing is just continual progress on all of our processes
and our guys kind of getting on the same page.
And uh, hopefully this is something that well, it is
something that we need to build off of moving forward.

Speaker 11 (08:38):
But guys did a great job.

Speaker 13 (08:41):
And then Armonage is the way you stepped up, filled.

Speaker 11 (08:43):
Up for Kenny. Oh yeah, exactly, did a great job.

Speaker 9 (08:45):
Gave me a game ball, gave the offensive line a
game ball, just ran really physical and stuff to tackle
that guy in the open field.

Speaker 11 (08:53):
You know he's got speed and power. So excited for him.

Speaker 12 (08:56):
He's not going to show up in the box, coach.
But Derek Hall three holds today.

Speaker 3 (09:01):
Yeah, the first one was right before Jones interception.

Speaker 10 (09:05):
How big were those plays in.

Speaker 11 (09:06):
The scheme and things?

Speaker 10 (09:07):
Just getting it behind the sticks is the great.

Speaker 9 (09:09):
Yeah, we're fortunate on some of the penalties that went back,
but you know, if you look at him, those are
not necessarily unforced errors. Those are to your point, our
guys playing the right way. So Derek's had a great season.
He's a he's a very physical player and plays his
plays the absolute tail off. So even the short yardage play,
you know, they they creased this there at the sea
gap and character the holding there where he probably would

(09:30):
have made the play. So those are two two huge
games or plays going into the game.

Speaker 12 (09:35):
Have been struggling a little bit lately. Can you talk
about the good Brian, the work that Rich Grubb he
has gotten up, all those guys have been doing.

Speaker 10 (09:43):
Yeah, it's going.

Speaker 11 (09:43):
Yeah, they deserve a lot of credit, you know.

Speaker 9 (09:45):
I just I have been saying for weeks we're going,
we're working on this thing. So we're working through all
the processes. By no stretch of the imagination are we
have we made it. But it's great to kind of
get a breakthrough on productivity on how we want a play.

Speaker 11 (10:00):
I thought Grub called the great game and Olmer we go.

Speaker 9 (10:05):
You know, so I think now we can hopefully we
just generate some more confidence for us and the things
that we've been doing and the inputs that we're putting in.
But I thought we played a complimentary game today. The
ball wasn't in jeopardy. Uh Gino didn't take any sacks,
and so that's what's gonna take to win, especially late.

Speaker 11 (10:20):
In the year.

Speaker 14 (10:22):
About today that even when you knew Ken couldn't go,
that you're gonna stick with the plan and run Zach.

Speaker 11 (10:27):
The way he did.

Speaker 9 (10:28):
Well, Well, I mean, you know, Ken's obviously a dynamite
back and we would have loved to have him, but
so was Zach and Kenny McIntosh has proved that he
can run the.

Speaker 11 (10:37):
Ball effectively as well.

Speaker 9 (10:38):
So we didn't feel like we need to make any
any adjustments obviously that first rate to get.

Speaker 15 (10:44):
A big play.

Speaker 16 (10:44):
Outside of that, his printing dominion before its contents, the
most significant change in the last few games.

Speaker 9 (10:52):
Well yeah, we I mean again, similar to the offense,
I think the curve just happened a little bit earlier.
This is a it's a room for guys and full
of men that just decided that we're gonna stick together,
do it together, prepare our tails off throughout the week,
stay poised, and we decided we want to play a
certain way, and so when it shows up on tape,

(11:13):
and when it doesn't show up on tape, then you
know it sticks. Out like the sore thumb, and our
guys are starting to, you know, step up as leaders too,
where we're there feeling confident and talking to the group
and taking ownership of what shows up on tape.

Speaker 11 (11:27):
So, uh, we got to keep building.

Speaker 13 (11:30):
Season high and rushing yards. I think was only head twice.
Just was that got your offensive line today that way?

Speaker 9 (11:35):
Yeah, I mean I thought they probably their best game
to date. But Gino deserves a lot of credit too.
I mean, he's playing really decisive, really accurate. There's a
lot of big time throws going on out there, especially
in critical.

Speaker 11 (11:47):
Moments at the end of the game.

Speaker 9 (11:48):
Maybe it's multiple multiple score game, but that can change
in a blink of an eye. And so to try
to keep moving the sticks on some of those second
down throws where it kept drives going, that was a
that was big time. And then being able to manage
the clock and all the situations. He's just doing it.
He's doing a tremendous job right now.

Speaker 17 (12:03):
You guys had to shuffle your offensive line quite a
bit earlier in the year.

Speaker 12 (12:06):
When you say that guys.

Speaker 17 (12:07):
Have gotten on the same page in the run game,
how much is just the offensive lineman getting used to play.

Speaker 10 (12:11):
Yeah, man, it's great to.

Speaker 11 (12:12):
Go two games in a row with the same five guys.
I think you see the same thing. Just anytime you
have continuity and you can stack reps. That's important.

Speaker 9 (12:21):
Now, sometimes you got to make necessary adjustments or guys
go down, guys got to step up, which has happened
throughout the season.

Speaker 11 (12:27):
But it's been great to get two.

Speaker 9 (12:28):
Weeks in a row where you know, same five guys
are out there and they can build off of these performances.

Speaker 17 (12:34):
The offensive line, playets, moving the ball in the air,
with the ball in the droughts.

Speaker 18 (12:37):
Getting two interceptions, getting the quarterback, and John's cops all
of a sudden, does.

Speaker 10 (12:41):
Just feel like here is complete game of tops upon him.

Speaker 11 (12:44):
I think, yeah, probably probably.

Speaker 9 (12:46):
That's something that we've been really focusing on, trying to
really play complimentary.

Speaker 11 (12:50):
Football three phases together. Tilting field.

Speaker 9 (12:53):
I mean, this is a really good football team, and
if you're not careful, they can kind of squeeze the
life out of you with how they control, possess the ball, explosives,
tilt the field position. So those are things that you
need to Those are battles kind of games within the
game that you have to win.

Speaker 11 (13:06):
In order to beat a team like this, and our
guys did that.

Speaker 19 (13:10):
Has an interception of both games against Arizona to talk
about what he didn't bring in.

Speaker 9 (13:14):
Well, he sailed their tail on that one. I mean
we we had a coverage bus actually on that one.
So having a post safety that can erase some things.
It's a huge I mean, it's you need those guys.
So he's playing at a high level right now, and we're
communicating really well.

Speaker 11 (13:30):
And I'm really.

Speaker 9 (13:31):
Happy for Kobe because he's he's he's worked extremely hard
to prepare himself and really master what we're asking him
to do.

Speaker 11 (13:37):
So he's doing a great job.

Speaker 12 (13:41):
I'm sure.

Speaker 10 (13:42):
Yeah, I just saw him walking in here.

Speaker 11 (13:44):
I mean, I mean, how about that.

Speaker 9 (13:46):
I mean the week of like of all time, this
week has been been in it's but uh uh, it
became kind of it became clear today actually that Dicko
was going to be able to go and and man,
he punted his tail. I mean really talking about flipping
field position and playing complementary football, you know, he's can't
imagine anybody doing it better.

Speaker 11 (14:07):
Than he does.

Speaker 12 (14:08):
Like a good birthday president for Jack.

Speaker 9 (14:11):
One day, I'll tell him about this week and it'll
be good.

Speaker 11 (14:14):
Maybe a bedtime story one day.

Speaker 14 (14:16):
Going back to your first year in Baltimore, as in
DC twenty twenty two, through weeks one through eight, you
guys were twenty third in the league in terms of
defensive just the defense allowing points. From weeks nine through
the rest of the season, you were number one in
the NFL this year.

Speaker 20 (14:33):
The eighth game was Buffalo. At that time, you sat
around twenty first. Since then, you're thirteen a half points
a game, which I believe came in the weekend. At second,
I know you touched on the mindset, but what other
traits and attributes about what you install and what you
do defensively.

Speaker 12 (14:48):
Kind of fits in your mind?

Speaker 20 (14:49):
Why it might hit at about the half of half
season mark.

Speaker 11 (14:53):
In your first year, I'm not sure.

Speaker 9 (14:56):
I mean, I don't want it to be taking a
shift like that. You don't want to be giving up
points at any point.

Speaker 11 (15:01):
Uh.

Speaker 9 (15:02):
Trading for rokwand Smith helped in Baltimore, and then I think,
you know, speaking that, I just think, like the there's
a lot of parallels because we traded for Earnest and
I understand that, but you know, it's a new we're
a new staff. The new players. This is the first
time we've heard everything. I've learned a lot on the
job about what works, what doesn't work, what we can

(15:25):
execute at.

Speaker 11 (15:25):
A high level, what our guys are good at. All
of our.

Speaker 9 (15:27):
Coaches are working extremely hard to stay connected and to
move forward, and uh, I'm glad that it's start. You know,
it's it's coming together and we got to keep billing
on it. In order to do that, you need to
have urgency, you know, every day bringing it and enjoy
the process. I mean, it's a fun process building a team,
and I'm having guys buy in and things like that.
I mean, but it takes a lot of work, and

(15:49):
so our you know, our our coaches and our players
there's a little deserve a lot of credit.

Speaker 11 (15:52):
For having that faith and saying, hey, you know.

Speaker 9 (15:55):
We're not necessarily getting the results that we want right now,
but we can see some really cool things on tape,
and there's things where we can there's opportunities for us
to really grow here, and if we stick to it
and stay together, then you know, then really the sky's
the limit for us.

Speaker 11 (16:09):
We really believe that. So everybody else there's a lot
of credit.

Speaker 21 (16:14):
M good that sequence where you.

Speaker 13 (16:19):
Not only get the two picks, but then convert them
into quick touchdowns. How does that change feel the game
when you're family?

Speaker 9 (16:24):
Well, I mean, and I mean we're a broken record.
This is the cliche of a lifetime, but it's true.
I mean, the turnof our margin is huge, and then
to do it in positive territory for our offense. Then
what a great play by Jackson and Dino on the
sudden change touchdown.

Speaker 11 (16:39):
So we needed it.

Speaker 9 (16:40):
I mean, we had we had a slow start on defense,
and you know, we kind of made it right on
defense to be able to affect the ball and put
our position, our offense in position to go get a
couple of scores.

Speaker 6 (16:52):
What's the early reh on ken Walker his chances to
be back this week?

Speaker 11 (16:57):
Not sure, not sure. We'll work through it right now,
but we're not sure.

Speaker 19 (17:02):
You five one on the road and talk about what
that said, the character the team, and what you saw
from the traveling Seahawks fans here more.

Speaker 11 (17:09):
Twelves deserves a lot credit. Man, they were loud.

Speaker 9 (17:11):
I think we had them on silent cadence for the
majority of the game. So, man, what an awesome atmosphere
to shout out to everybody showing up being loud. It
was an awesome atmosphere and we're lucky, man. I mean,
we got the best fans in.

Speaker 11 (17:27):
That was cool. That was that was cool. So here
we thank you, great man.

Speaker 2 (17:34):
All right, that was your head coach, Mike McDonald's. Hawks
fans celebrate Blue Friday at your local Western Washington McDonald's.
Get a free medium fries with any one dollar purchase
every Blue Friday and only on the McDonald's app. All right,
more to do when we come back, We're gonna break
this thing down with the guys here. That's next on
the Umpquah Bank Radio Network. Seahawks win thirty to eighteen

(17:54):
in Arizona. Geno Smith was twenty four thirty two hundred
and thirty three yards and one touchdown.

Speaker 3 (17:58):
He's at the podium now.

Speaker 12 (18:00):
Good ever, Yeah, no.

Speaker 13 (18:04):
Sacks only hit twice season high rushing yards have.

Speaker 10 (18:07):
Offered to run, dude. I thought they played normal. The
way they play, we can win every game we played, man.
I think our offensive line is is only getting better.
We got some young guys out there who are stepping
in and stepping up. I thought the Tower played the
great game and then obviously getting aid back. Man, it's
been it's been a benefit for our offense. So yeah,
they gotta keep it up. They gotta keep it up.
They set the standards, so they gotta keep it up.

(18:29):
How did you feel impacting your rebellion to go like Jets.

Speaker 11 (18:34):
Touched out there.

Speaker 12 (18:35):
Yeah, looks like they were going to go home. That's
something the first match up because these guys.

Speaker 10 (18:39):
Yeah, I think the run game played a part, but
also just thought our line played terrific. You know, I
thought the past protection was awesome. Like you said, only
two hits, no sacks. Anytime you get to sit back
there as a quarterback and not get touched, man, it
allows you to go through those reasons. You know, your
your clock is a little bit slower because you know
those guys are gonna hold up. And so I thought,
you know, Grub called a great game, but I'll thought

(19:00):
the line just they powered us through this game and
they're gon, we're gonna need him down the stretch.

Speaker 12 (19:04):
You know, Mike talked a lot about the completory football.
In fact, you guys got some interceptions and converted the
touchdowns right away.

Speaker 10 (19:09):
How did you feel up the balance.

Speaker 11 (19:11):
The entire team?

Speaker 10 (19:12):
That was huge? You know, We talk about that all
the time. Mike talks about that about how we wanna
play as a team and complimentary football is the main thing.
And I thought just the way that you know, we
came out on offense right after they scored, you know,
got points, wanted to score a touchdown there but ended
up getting three. Then we go right back, defense goes out,
get a turnover, we go get seven, they get another turnover.
We to you know, take make it a two score game.

(19:34):
You know, those are the things that you need in
order to to game momentimum, to really close these games out,
you know, and down the stretcher.

Speaker 12 (19:40):
You talking about the catch from JS and just the
public ground there.

Speaker 10 (19:45):
That was an amazing catch. You know, kind of got
hit right there, a little bit. Wish I could have
hit him astride. If I would have, man, he'd have
scored on that one. But that's why he's Jackson man.
That's why he's JS. And he does a great job.
He's he's one of the better receivers in the league.
He's really developing into his own right now. And you know,
if I gotta do better for him and get him
that ball so he can go score the game.

Speaker 11 (20:05):
Uh.

Speaker 10 (20:06):
Today, I thought Greb was outstanding, just you know, the
calmness and the play calls coming in. He was very
clear and concise with what he wanted to do. He
we had a plan, We had a great game plan
going in and I thought we executed, you know, and
I thought Grub called the game. He was confident, he
took shots when he needed to. He uh, he managed
the clock when he needed to. And you know, Grabuh

(20:28):
he's one of those guys. Man, He's a really good
oct he's stuck with Yeah, I think I think it's
our team. In the demeanor of our team, We've had,
you know, a bunch of different guys step up for
our team throughout the year. And that's just you know,
as a result of coaching really and culture. You know,

(20:51):
it starts with the coaching though. The coaching staff does
a great job at making sure guys are prepared and
all the guys, you know, not just the starters. And
then you know, when you when you you get guys
who step in and step up. Man, Zach's always been
a great player. He's had so many tremendous games for us,
and uh, we knew, you know, we're confident him the
entire time. You know, we know what Zach can do. Obviously,
we love can and we you know, wish him a
speedy recovery. But you know, Zach's one of our guys. Man,

(21:13):
He's gonna continue to get better and we're gonna lean
on him.

Speaker 14 (21:17):
We're in playoff, so he's so long you know, whether
it's that's sustainable for real long for some time, that mental.

Speaker 10 (21:24):
Yeah, that's yeah, that's gotta be the mantra. I want
to know every week, you know, and that's something that
you know, you gotta develop that as a team. When
guys are saying we're in playoff mode, yeah, that's every
single game. Uh, similar to what Coach Carroll used to
talk about. You know, every game is a championship game
and if you really take that approach, when you get
to the big game, it won't it won't feel different.
So I think we're developing it as a team. And

(21:45):
I think the mindset is what's really you know, setting
us apart right now with that since confidence that just keeps,
especially you know if he's kind of yeah you're talking
about not Yeah, We're always gonna be confident and one another,
Like I'll tell the guys man, it's one of the
closest teams I've ever been on. Everybody pulling in the
right direction, everyone pulling together, and uh that's the reason

(22:08):
why we can, you know, sustain, Like you said, these
you know, these wins, and it doesn't matter, you know,
who we play, where we play. All that matters is
that we do it together. And I think as long
as we continue to do that, man will be all
right for development.

Speaker 6 (22:20):
The last couple of weeks, that last week and or
game first to get about the second.

Speaker 11 (22:24):
Half of those gap schemes, the jew schemes.

Speaker 22 (22:26):
Yeah, do you feel like these last few weeks got
you start to see that identity start?

Speaker 10 (22:32):
Yeah, yeah, and we would love to continue to build it.
You know, we want to be multiple and we want
to have multiple answers. And you know, today was the
gap schemes. You know, the way they were playing us
with the three down stuff, and you know they've got
three safeties kind of like a three three five defense.
If you pull a guy and you pin one, you're
up on the back linebackers pretty quickly. So, uh, just
it's depending on you know, the front we're facing, the
defense we're facing. But today the gap scheme worked really

(22:54):
well for us.

Speaker 12 (22:54):
You guys are five on the road. You talk about
what what about your game, the team's game that travels
so well.

Speaker 10 (22:59):
I think just you know the closeness of our team,
and I think our coaches do a great job at
preparing us no matter where we go. We do a
great job at traveling. You know, we travel the most
in the league. And uh, I think, guys, the mentality is,
no matter what, you know, we're going to win and
we're going to play and it doesn't matter how we
get there, it doesn't matter where we're at. Everyone's buying in.
And that's the biggest part.

Speaker 12 (23:20):
To feel a little bit like a home game today.

Speaker 10 (23:22):
With it did me. I thought our fans traveled really well.
They were allowed like in the pre game, and I
think that gave us some confidence too. Just looking up
and seeing all the twelves in the building gave us
a lot of confidence. And you know, we we need
them to continue to that. I can't wait for this
this next game at home.

Speaker 23 (23:36):
Well, obviously you know special teams are reported, but to
see that so completely with you know, Dixon putting him
insight the tann a couple of times they had a
missfield goal.

Speaker 12 (23:44):
They had enough fun to see it so demonstrated. And
your guys with what is that to say about?

Speaker 10 (23:50):
Yeah, I think we got the best punter in the league, man, Mike.
He's been consistent. I've been here, he's been consistently one
of the best. And then yeah, I mean when we
could force those guys to miss field goals. When we
can you know, make them up punts and you know,
allow us to play clean and they make the mistakes,
we're gonna put ourselves in a really good position. So
we want to continue that. We want to play clean
football and complementary football as well.

Speaker 12 (24:10):
Check in particular that up.

Speaker 10 (24:14):
Yeah, I just think you know, the way teams are
playing us. We got really good receivers, really good tight ends.
Guys don't want to play us and man for the
most part, and that's fine. You know, we'll just be smart,
be efficient and you know, take what they give us
and stay on schedule. As long as we do that,
you know we'll be able to move the chains and
get points. After the game, get to the weight room,
get ready for next week.

Speaker 12 (24:36):
There.

Speaker 10 (24:37):
Yeah, yeah, we like to have especially after winds, so
we gotta keep it going. Thank you guys.

Speaker 3 (24:44):
That was Geno Smith.

Speaker 2 (24:45):
Our quarterback review was brought to you by T Mobile Exclusive.
While his partner of the Seattle Seahawks do you know
how to inefficient?

Speaker 11 (24:52):
Day?

Speaker 2 (24:52):
He seemed like he was in complete control of the situation,
completing what near eighty percent or almost are eighty percent
of his passes on the day found jaysin for a
big score, big grea.

Speaker 3 (25:02):
What do you make of Gino No?

Speaker 24 (25:04):
I just love the way he kind of commanded the
game today. He'd like coach McDonald said in his press
or that you know, he didn't put the ball in
harm's way. Looks like he got the team into some
good plays when he was audibling and changing the play
at the line of scrimmage. And he played with a
good composure today, So the pocket was pretty clean for
him to kind of step up.

Speaker 3 (25:24):
And make some some throws when he needed to.

Speaker 24 (25:26):
And then, like he said, man, they just got that
running game going and it just kind of opens up
everything else. It makes a lot of things a lot
easier to exico on offense where you can get the
running game going.

Speaker 18 (25:37):
Yeah, you know, you look at this offense and how
they performed today and you go through all the things
coming in to this game.

Speaker 6 (25:43):
We were worried about, and you go to the turnovers.

Speaker 18 (25:45):
You know, Geno has been criticized for his turnovers a
little bit, and then the sacks. Sacks have been a
little bit lopsided here and there. Then you go to
the short yardage situations. They've been terrible going into this game.
And then what happened today. No turnovers, no acts. There
were five for six on short yarded situations. Two of
those Noah Fan had the completion the first drive of

(26:06):
the game. He extended two of them, sharping and ran
the ball hard on those. So what you're doing, you're
looking for these improvements and finally this team putting it
together and offensively all these question marks we had.

Speaker 6 (26:16):
And here's the most important thing.

Speaker 18 (26:17):
Actually, there's no play that we sat there and scratched
our head and was like, huh, what was that? You know, like,
no snaps over the head, no things that are killing
that shooting you in the foot. These last few games
you didn't see any of that. So you finally saw
the offense, you know, play a complete game and special
teams wise, Bump, like we talked about, you don't want
to talk. You don't talk about the two foot puts.
You miss unless you miss them. We made them all

(26:37):
to day. We weren't talking about especially.

Speaker 2 (26:40):
It was fine, So just a good performance all round. Well,
let's hear from a man who had himself a good day.
Ernest Jones is at the podium.

Speaker 15 (26:49):
Serious.

Speaker 25 (26:58):
I think defensively.

Speaker 26 (27:00):
Just makes something where But the team, like our our units,
just coming closer as a as a brotherhood, as as
a friendship. But we're also out there just playing relentless,
playing each play like its own, not really worrying about
what's you know, happening or what what's the outcome of
players which just going hard.

Speaker 12 (27:17):
A couple of big hits today.

Speaker 25 (27:18):
Oh yeah, that's my guy.

Speaker 26 (27:19):
Man, he's balling, man, young guy playing some great football.

Speaker 16 (27:23):
Man.

Speaker 26 (27:23):
I'm excited about his career. And you know, us continue
to grow together with Bobby or.

Speaker 9 (27:28):
You're taking some of the lessons from that when you
were the young guy trying to pass.

Speaker 26 (27:34):
He does a great job, man, he he We're always
together in the building, always watching him together, so we
see the see the game in the same lens. So
it's easy with us too, cause we're kind of like
the same person almost.

Speaker 12 (27:45):
How about your interception? Can you take us through that.

Speaker 25 (27:48):
Yeah, I dropped in my hook and turned.

Speaker 26 (27:51):
As soon as I turned around and like, look for
the ball, it was there and I'm like, there's no way,
Like there's not. Yeah, so it it kind of caught
me off guard, but yeah, I'm glad I called it
this time instead of dropping it like I did in
the RAMS game.

Speaker 12 (28:05):
Are you surprised through that?

Speaker 25 (28:06):
I was not surprised because like I knew the routes
or anything.

Speaker 3 (28:09):
I just didn't.

Speaker 26 (28:11):
I mean, it was like kind of right to me,
So I just didn't know what he's seen or what.
But you know, it happens four straight runs after where
your guys were. I think for us, I mean, we've
been living in the like we call it the death zone.
We've been living in that for the last four games.
Each game is the playoff game in our eyes, and
we're we've been in the playoffs four or five weeks now.

(28:32):
Just continue to win these games and each game is
a new game for us. So we got a good ponemic,
a really good opponent opponent coming in, and you know,
we gotta go out there and win and put us
in a great position and keep going and playing the playoffs.

Speaker 12 (28:45):
All the way to win him the Super Bowl.

Speaker 8 (28:46):
Of course, there's a.

Speaker 10 (28:47):
Mentality of that sustainable for two months to.

Speaker 26 (28:51):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, it just depends on the guys
you got in that locker room, and I think we
got the right guys you. Of course, when it gets
the playoff games just do or die. So at that
point it's really you know, was heighten. Everybody knows it.
Then it's it's one play you could win, one play
you could lose. So we're ready, We're locked in, and
we're just gonna keep going.

Speaker 12 (29:07):
Final Arizona drive clocks.

Speaker 13 (29:09):
Right now, game is pretty much in hand, but you
can tell you guys still really caring about keeping them
that names on.

Speaker 25 (29:13):
That understand we didn't we didn't want him to score.
Didn't want to.

Speaker 26 (29:17):
We want to be dominant, and you can't just be
dominant in certain times. You gotta be dominant throughout the game.
So that's one of those things we work on.

Speaker 12 (29:25):
What do you like about the way Kobe Bryan.

Speaker 25 (29:28):
I mean shoot everything.

Speaker 26 (29:29):
It's communication, the way he's just relentless to the ball.
I mean, you feel real comfortable in the back end
knowing that him and you know Jay Love's back there,
so he's a baller.

Speaker 25 (29:40):
He's a baller. He's a baller.

Speaker 10 (29:41):
How does that comfort a little?

Speaker 11 (29:42):
With Yella?

Speaker 12 (29:43):
Kobe?

Speaker 11 (29:43):
Affected?

Speaker 10 (29:44):
With you?

Speaker 12 (29:44):
Entirees play to.

Speaker 26 (29:45):
Tell that they got their their communication, their own you know, connection,
which it just feeds down to the rest of the
team and me and to night. You know, we go
go with no worries, knowing that they're gonna communicate that
all we have to do is, you know, stay stout
in the run and then get give, give up, get
back in our zones to give them help and they're
gonna handle the rest.

Speaker 12 (30:02):
Craig McDonald, you play calling and having him in your
headset what you like?

Speaker 26 (30:07):
Man, It's I wish y'all could have a day in
the life of being in the head sad. It's it's fun.
It's fun. He's always talking to me. I always say
he's it's almost like he's the first DC I've had
that's been in the game with us. Like it's like
he's playing linebacker right next to us. He sees it
and out through our lens and he kind of expects
knows what's coming next, and he's been great at it.

Speaker 25 (30:28):
What makes it different than other Yeah, just.

Speaker 26 (30:32):
Kind of like I said, I just think he's it
almost feels like he's in the game with us. Like
you know, when we're out there playing football, we start
getting tennessees from what the offense is doing by demeanors,
and of course he's on the sideline, so he doesn't
get all that, but he's somehow, he's he's been spot
on with calls and he's been doing a hell of
a job, which that.

Speaker 17 (30:49):
Helping the transitions coming over in mid season.

Speaker 6 (30:52):
When you got that voice and voice in the head
satay this guy, I mean.

Speaker 25 (30:57):
It was definitely helpful.

Speaker 26 (30:58):
I mean we always joking the line back room, like
five six coaches on that staff's coach linebacker. So anytime
we do anything in practice, we get coached like seven
times because everybody sees it and wants to correct it.
So we get coached a lot, and you know, we've
been able to go out there and make plays and
help this team.

Speaker 12 (31:14):
You got back to back turnovers.

Speaker 23 (31:15):
The league as did too, you know, deficit into a
double digit lead, but you feel like, you know, you
were kind of suffocatting them.

Speaker 12 (31:21):
They didn't really do much for another couple of quarters
after that.

Speaker 26 (31:24):
Yeah, for sure, I mean we we we knew coming
into this game that you know, they as far as
what they've said that they didn't like the way the
last game went for them, and they were coming out hungry.
And we knew coming into the game. Once we get on,
like get up and get a lead on and we
go jump on them and we put them, put them
out of misery.

Speaker 12 (31:40):
In a sense, Willen has been begging for an o
PI for.

Speaker 25 (31:44):
A yes, yes, him, the referees, everybody heard it.

Speaker 3 (31:50):
He was.

Speaker 25 (31:51):
He was excited about that one.

Speaker 12 (31:53):
Anything else, thanks good than all right?

Speaker 2 (31:56):
That was Ernest Jones. Do you want to see Blue
Thunder and the Seahawks answers perform up close? You're looking
to watch all the early NFL games and listen to
our pregame show live or playing the game in zone?
Then ticket Master tailgating the lumingfield de Vince Center should
be a part of your game day routine, so been
three hours before kick. Also, bring the whole family and
experience the excitement. Let's go back to the podium here
from JSM.

Speaker 12 (32:17):
How close was that ballad in the ground.

Speaker 10 (32:20):
I haven't seen a replay, so I really don't know, but.

Speaker 27 (32:23):
You could probably tell me better. I don't don't really
know how close it was.

Speaker 12 (32:27):
Do you work on hand strength to be able to
hold the ball like that that locally ground.

Speaker 27 (32:32):
Yes, sir, hand strength, all that stuff. Yeah, just strengthening
my whole body. Just trying to be the best I
can be. And yeah, do some of that work.

Speaker 13 (32:44):
Just seeing the run game get came like in the
day with that do for you guys as in the offense,
seeing the run game get go.

Speaker 27 (32:49):
Oh man, I mean run the ball. You gotta run
the ball, you know if you want to be a
great offense. And you know that's something we emphasize. And
you know we executed today.

Speaker 12 (33:00):
Catch well why not just die? Most guys would die.

Speaker 10 (33:03):
Yeah, I feel like I could.

Speaker 27 (33:04):
I could catch it and you know, do something with it,
you know, honestly, Uh, you know I've seen that ball
before and you know, just just just got to catch it.
And you know I did that and you know, try
to get some more yards. Honestly, talk about your touchdown.

Speaker 10 (33:21):
Touchdown?

Speaker 27 (33:21):
Uh, you know, it was a It was a great
scheme by coach Grubb. Got on the safety, you know,
he was on his heels and then just broke to
the corner. Gin know, put in the right place when.

Speaker 12 (33:32):
You have a safety and you know that your opportunity
to chance.

Speaker 27 (33:36):
Yes, sir, that was the play we've you know, practiced
a lot in practice and and then and it came
to fruition and it was good.

Speaker 12 (33:46):
Coach Grubs play home today.

Speaker 27 (33:47):
I thought it was I thought it was good. You know,
we score points, We moved the ball. You know, I
feel like still got you know, some things to figure
out and execute on the players in and you know,
it was a good day for us.

Speaker 12 (34:01):
Can you be on the field like a big momentum?
S Wait when you get the pick and then touchdown
the next play?

Speaker 10 (34:05):
Oh yeah, boom, Yeah. I felt like that was huge
for us.

Speaker 27 (34:09):
And you know we want to turn those picks, you know,
into touchdowns and you know it's good execution.

Speaker 20 (34:16):
Your defense has obviously been surging for a while.

Speaker 10 (34:19):
Your run game came a lot today.

Speaker 12 (34:20):
What would it mean to have that.

Speaker 17 (34:22):
Consistently working for your offense to complement everything else you guys.

Speaker 10 (34:25):
Do, I mean, it would be great.

Speaker 27 (34:26):
You know, we feel like we would be the best
team you know, in the league. And you know, having
the receivers that we have, have no line in running back,
I mean, you know, we feel you know that no
one can stop us but ourselves.

Speaker 10 (34:39):
You guys, want team have lost five out of six,
that's one four in a row, has control of the
division of the hottest teams in the league.

Speaker 12 (34:47):
What's the move?

Speaker 10 (34:48):
I mean, we feel good right now.

Speaker 27 (34:49):
We want to you know, first prove ourselves right and
improve everybody else wrong. You know, we feel like we
have the team to do it this year, and you
know we we're hungry.

Speaker 13 (35:01):
Came in with sharp Nan said draft class to see
him get this opportunity with Ken Walker out and then.

Speaker 3 (35:06):
Just do what he did with that.

Speaker 12 (35:07):
How happier.

Speaker 27 (35:07):
Yeah, he's a baller, man, He's a baller you know,
great to have him. You know, he's a he's a
great player. And any Toms balls in his hands, he's gonna,
you know, do what he does.

Speaker 10 (35:18):
Anything else.

Speaker 15 (35:20):
Thanks, I appreciate it.

Speaker 2 (35:23):
That was the young man that JSN had himself. Another
solid day at the office. All right, let's past ten
seconds to give our network stations a chance to identify
themselves here on the up Quad Bank Radio Network. Big
win for the Seahawks down in the desert, beating the.

Speaker 3 (35:38):
Cardinals thirty to eighteen.

Speaker 2 (35:40):
On Michael Bumbas with Ray Roberts, Paul Moyre, and Brian Walters.
The Hawks four hundred and nine yards of offense, one
hundred and seventy six yards rushing seven for fifteen on
third downs. Paul Moyer, I saw you with a piece
of paper with the calculator crunching numbers.

Speaker 3 (35:59):
What you got for me?

Speaker 8 (36:00):
I was just trying to find something.

Speaker 7 (36:03):
I mean, basically, we won every statistical metrics in there.
I mean more yards. We bottled them up. I thought
one of the again, I always look at big plays.
They had the one touchdown which was forty or forty
one yards on Kobe Bryant. They only had one play
over twenty yards the rest of the game. I mean,

(36:25):
this is an explosive offense. I mean you've got Harrison
Junior obviously, Murray Connor.

Speaker 4 (36:30):
I mean they're.

Speaker 7 (36:33):
I mean that's just a talented team. I mean McBride
fourteen targets, only seven receptions, so he did some adjustments there.
I mean it took till the second half for he
finally got a catch, only averaged ten yards. His long
was fourteen. So they only had one pass play over
twenty yards. That was the forty one yard touchdown. They
didn't have another twenty yard pass the rest of the game.
That's unbelievable. I mean the whole Arizona to twenty four

(36:56):
points in two games total. You know this defense is
feeling it right now.

Speaker 12 (37:01):
Yeah.

Speaker 24 (37:02):
The thing I liked is that, like I said at
halftime back at the San Francisco game, I started to
see like this idea around these double teams where they
were getting being very productive, but there would be someone
else that may break down the play didn't work, thinking like, man,
they're not going to get to take advantage of these
double teams. But in this gap scheme that we saw
today where there's a lot of penn and pull, which

(37:23):
they hadn't done very well, but it seems like they
know who should be doing the pinning and they know
who should be doing the Polland le Maya is a
very good athletic guard. He's able to get out and
block on the running, doesn't miss many blocks when he
does that. And then Abe is a good solid block
on the run as well, And so they're able to
kind of dress it up a couple different ways. A
couple of times they pulled the backside guard and tackle.

(37:44):
Sometimes there's the center and the guard or the center
and the tackle. But they did this idea of pinning
and polland they've kind of found they've they've kind of
found a little rhythm with it over the last couple
of weeks just in the blocking of it. Today they
got production out of the running of it because there
were more people doing the right thing. So it was
really cool to see. And as an offensive lineman, man,
when you talk about playing physical football, there is really

(38:06):
no more physical play.

Speaker 3 (38:07):
Than that one.

Speaker 24 (38:08):
And so that's why it was important, you know, it
almost as important. But the fact that Sharbonnay got to
take those runs, those are the types of runs that
fit him, and those are the types of blocks that
this offensive line can execute at a higher level.

Speaker 18 (38:22):
I don't know if I've seen improvement like I have
with the offensive line from the last time you play
the Cardinals two weeks ago to where they went now,
just considering, you know, today, two QB hits on Gino,
that's it. That's it, and then you run for one
hundred and seventy six yards. When you go back two
weeks ago to what happened. Five sacks, six QB hits,
he only ran for fifty yards. What was sixty yards

(38:43):
two weeks ago? So whatever, the offensive line has found,
whatever they have done, whatever they've done prep the adjustments
that you're talking about, Big Ray, I mean, just hats
off to them.

Speaker 6 (38:53):
They were the game changers today.

Speaker 18 (38:55):
Defense a little disappointed them the streaks over of touchdowns
scored with US and scot one. But I mean it's
so cool though, because the defense is so involved in
such a huge part in scoring, in the scoring for
this team, which I mean they set up two scores
with the two interceptions and the offense got two of
the touchdowns off those.

Speaker 6 (39:12):
So the defense just continues to make changes.

Speaker 18 (39:16):
Yeah, they weren't as dominant as they have been, you know,
as far as numbers. You know, Arizona's still got their numbers,
still rush for over one hundred yards, that kind of thing.
But man, they just are. They still are game changers
and they still make the big plays when needed. And
so the defense, the offensive line are the just really
really fun to see them come together today.

Speaker 8 (39:35):
Yeah, I mean four game win streak. Uh, you know,
think about it.

Speaker 7 (39:38):
We we gotten beat up pretty good by Buffalo. You know,
we had a losing record at that point. We were like, oh, man.
You know, we played Arizona, you know, three weeks ago,
two weeks but you know, three games ago now after
this one, and they were the hottest team in the league.
They had won four games in a row. And we've
completely flipped the script on this thing.

Speaker 8 (39:58):
And we flipped it, you.

Speaker 7 (39:59):
Know, to me, it started with the Ram Game. Actually
maybe it was the Ram game Buffalo. We got beat
up thirty to fourteen. The Ram Game, we lost the
game we should have won. That was to me the
turning point defensively for us. But you know, the last
five games defensively, you know, we kept saying this. I
think this is sustainable. I feel like, okay, it's not
just a we didn't do this quick fix anymore. We

(40:20):
really understand the roles and now we're able to turn
you know McDonald into defense loose where they take calculated risks.
I didn't see as many today where you know, we
were just letting guys go free, saying we think they're
going to throw it to this side of the field.
I thought there was much more fundamental. We're going to
play just defense and get after them. But I look,

(40:41):
when's the last time. I mean, it's been a long
time where it's just consistent pass rush too.

Speaker 8 (40:46):
Kyler was not sitting there.

Speaker 7 (40:47):
Holding the ball, couldn't see long developing plays happen, and
if there was someone open, which at times there were,
he didn't have time to make that throw. So this
is playoff football where you don't turn the football over.
You play, you know, offensively, and you play fantastic defense,
you know, to hold these guys.

Speaker 8 (41:05):
You know, they end up getting three hundred and.

Speaker 7 (41:07):
Fifty of garbage yards to me, you know that we
held them to one hundred and forty or fifty in
the first half. They were at three h nine, you know,
until their final drive. So I just you know, really
really good stuff.

Speaker 10 (41:17):
Man.

Speaker 7 (41:17):
They should be they should be excited. And we got
some tough games coming up, and we got Green Bay,
we got Minnesota. We got to finish, you know, at
the end of the year with the Rams, which is
probably gonna come down to that. The Rams are just
that team you can't quite put away. But yeah, this
this feels good, good.

Speaker 2 (41:33):
Win for the Seahawks. Like I said, I'm proving to
eight and five. Got some tough games coming up, Say, twelves,
we need you to get loud. The Seahawks are back
under the arches at Luomenfield Sunday, December fifteenth to take
on the Green Bay Packers. Get in on the action
and secure your seats now at seahawks dot com slash tickets.
All right, when we come back, we'll hear from Tyree's
Night and tenn and oilsu with Jen Mieller.

Speaker 3 (41:53):
That's next. Seahawks win thirty eighteen.

Speaker 21 (41:58):
Around the NFL with Curtis Rogers, Bills and Rams.

Speaker 17 (42:03):
Buffalo, once trailed by as many as seventeen, Josh Allen
got his guys to within a field goal after this
touchdown throw.

Speaker 23 (42:09):
To Mac collins Y set up glitz Ala season full
two a touchdown time.

Speaker 17 (42:17):
Bill's now needing just one stop with over seven minutes
to play to have a chance to win this one,
but La led the clock. A big factor in that
was his fourth down pickup to two two out well.

Speaker 21 (42:28):
Four thou stop, good looking flip forty.

Speaker 17 (42:32):
Down and then one play later Pooka Nakula on the
bubble screen took at the distance and put this one
out of reach.

Speaker 21 (42:40):
It Glitz Stafford seas it step.

Speaker 17 (42:48):
Bills did add a late touchdown, but it wasn't enough,
as the Rams recovered the on side kick La victorious
forty four forty two despite Josh Allen's six total touchdowns.
Their game back of Sea Attle at seven and five,
Bill's faul to ten and three, and they have a
huge game against the Lions next Sunday. Bears at forty
nine Ers. Brock Party could not be stopped by Chicago's

(43:09):
defense today twenty of twenty five for three to twenty
five and a pair of touchdowns both going to Juwan
Jennings go.

Speaker 21 (43:15):
Down car Cuttings suck a touchdown.

Speaker 10 (43:18):
Of the Gay.

Speaker 17 (43:19):
It was all San Fran today. Even fourth string running
back Patrick Taylor got in on.

Speaker 21 (43:23):
The Scorings Taylor touchdown teller.

Speaker 5 (43:30):
Some good for Chicago roma Dunes.

Speaker 17 (43:32):
They did find the end zone twice with the forty
nine Ers blow out the Bears thirty eight thirteen. They'll
host the Rams on Thursday Night Football in a game
of much interest to the Seahawks in that NFC West Race.
Let's go back to our guys from more postgame reaction
to Sea How's thirty eighteen win over the Cards.

Speaker 6 (43:46):
Here's your host, Michael Bumpis.

Speaker 2 (43:48):
Thank you Curtis for that scoreboard of day. Let's go
to the locker room Jim Muller caught up with Tyre's Knight.

Speaker 6 (43:53):
Yeah.

Speaker 28 (43:53):
So we're looking at the status sheet and you point
out it is the first time you have read the
team in tackles.

Speaker 11 (44:01):
What does that feel like for you?

Speaker 29 (44:03):
If we're honestly feel like I'm getting back to my form.
You know, I'm always used to leading my team in Chacola.
So the last couple of weeks, you know, butdy j
Van being is so, aren't you glad?

Speaker 11 (44:11):
I got that head the only day?

Speaker 28 (44:13):
How much has he helped you out, either by the
way he communicates, the way he based work together, or
how he's setting up place for ya.

Speaker 10 (44:20):
Oh, you know he ain't banned at home buff for sure.

Speaker 8 (44:22):
You know already up my game, and I appreciate that
he did not, as you know before his comment.

Speaker 29 (44:26):
So everybody on the same day and on stuff at
the offense, so you've already been in my gun back.

Speaker 28 (44:31):
All right, Let's continue talking about Burst then and the
way he makes on Kyler Burrish.

Speaker 3 (44:35):
I think it's more than fifty third and fifteen.

Speaker 10 (44:38):
You know, it's wore down territory.

Speaker 6 (44:39):
He's closing spend on Furry.

Speaker 10 (44:42):
What impressed you about that?

Speaker 4 (44:43):
Place.

Speaker 29 (44:44):
I ain't really impressed me, though I've been saying he
really liked that since he got here. You know, honestly,
throughout the whole week we watched film, we knew Kyler
Murray a lot, just third and stuff.

Speaker 10 (44:53):
So I'll coach was the inconsiders running through the hill? Agent?

Speaker 25 (44:56):
Did what are you supposed to do that?

Speaker 28 (44:57):
Do you think de Marcado is regretting his decision to
catch that pass after your level?

Speaker 17 (45:03):
Then?

Speaker 29 (45:04):
Yeah, because you know, honestly it ain't even were in
the game on yard a third place. I know you
probably felt like you should have droped the ball, but
now I appreciated me and catching it and they would
get my hair.

Speaker 28 (45:11):
I also feel like you were so close to an
interception today. Did I misread that when I felt like
you jumped and you were so close to getting one.

Speaker 10 (45:21):
Right, If you threw it a couple of inches lower,
I could have got my hand on that. You had
to fled it down for me.

Speaker 6 (45:26):
But you know everything recovering Okay.

Speaker 28 (45:29):
You also were in coverage against Marvin Harrison.

Speaker 6 (45:33):
What is the challenge of trying to.

Speaker 21 (45:35):
Keep him in check?

Speaker 11 (45:36):
I ain't no challenge.

Speaker 29 (45:37):
I like me once I get back in my molde
to get back comfor to behind now I was playing
last year.

Speaker 3 (45:41):
Ain't nobody came.

Speaker 10 (45:42):
Out in front of me in this whole game. My
costadman Bryan that lay back him company side.

Speaker 28 (45:48):
Lastly, the interceptions at the beginning.

Speaker 11 (45:51):
Of the game. That was huge.

Speaker 28 (45:52):
But was it just me or were you guys kind
of just treating.

Speaker 21 (45:55):
That as business as usual on the sideline?

Speaker 29 (45:57):
Business is the last couple of weeks, I go to
the Today man taking them all the way anild ministry,
so you nantasize five turners a day and edulating day
in Venetia.

Speaker 28 (46:07):
And that's what he did in the vag Yeah and
again Tyres Night leads for the team in tackles very
celebratory locker room down here bump as we get that.

Speaker 4 (46:15):
Back to you.

Speaker 2 (46:16):
Thank you, Jen Tyree snipe man. He's got an opportunity.
He's doing a great job with him. The Luminfield twenty
twenty five concert lineup is coming soon. Don't miss a
beat with Luminfield text alerts. Text Concerts to three zero
two three four, that's Concerts to three zero two three
four to be the first to know about concert pre sales,
tickets on sale, event details and more. All right, let's

(46:37):
go back to the locker room. Jim, you York caught
up with Jenna and Wilson.

Speaker 28 (46:42):
I couldn't help but notice the emotion after you were
in on a tackle today. What was your level of
excitement over being back on the field.

Speaker 30 (46:51):
I just felt good to be out there do what
I love to be here football.

Speaker 11 (46:57):
You know, so I was excited.

Speaker 30 (46:59):
Process with very long, you know, a couple of setbacks,
you know, so it's stay strong.

Speaker 15 (47:06):
I was like, gonna come back?

Speaker 28 (47:07):
How do you work your way back into a rotation
that is this deep? But I know they need your help,
but it seems like maybe that gets a little.

Speaker 8 (47:15):
Tricky, Well not tricky all.

Speaker 25 (47:17):
You know.

Speaker 30 (47:17):
We all play off each other. We'll feed off each other,
you know. That's the type of route that we have
where everybody's apt to each other. When one guy goes
in make up pay, we all celebrate, you know. So
you want to see each other un and you will
be successful.

Speaker 28 (47:28):
What does the balance you have to strike with Kyler
Murray and wanting to get there quickly but not over pursuing.

Speaker 10 (47:34):
Yeah, that's that's exactly what you said.

Speaker 11 (47:35):
If you can't over pursue you know, you have to.

Speaker 30 (47:37):
Collapse up off with them in you know, he's good
at scrambling and being.

Speaker 11 (47:39):
On the move.

Speaker 30 (47:40):
So that was the point of emphasis this week was
we're trying to corrut him, keeping us contained as possible
for the most.

Speaker 18 (47:45):
Probably a good job.

Speaker 28 (47:46):
Did you notice him getting a little gun shy in
the first half after those two interceptions?

Speaker 21 (47:50):
I mean, I mean, yeah, I didn't notice it that.

Speaker 30 (47:53):
You know, we were able to make plays on as
on those balls, you know, code shots, the code shots
each other. You are doing a great job and coverage trusting,
which is very a big place.

Speaker 28 (48:01):
You know, they weren't really able to get yards in
the first half, second half though it was a long
drive of the third quarter of what happened there, you know.

Speaker 30 (48:07):
They're just I guess they you know, they had a
sense of urgency on their part, you know, shout out
to them.

Speaker 10 (48:12):
You know, it's football.

Speaker 30 (48:13):
You know we expect teams, you know, be able to
bounce back.

Speaker 10 (48:15):
We gotta do a better job on defense.

Speaker 25 (48:17):
You know, we should have expected that. We did expect that.

Speaker 30 (48:19):
I mean, we sually got to do a better job
and stopping them.

Speaker 28 (48:22):
I feel like it was really complimentary offense and defense today.
What did you see in that first quarter when the
defense or offense capitalized on the interceptions.

Speaker 30 (48:31):
It's just such stuff that we practice and preached a week,
you know, being playing together as more unit offense, defense
and specialties. Was to see them going back and getting
that touchdown right out of the j's interception is huge
and pig Mo mentship and needed it.

Speaker 28 (48:43):
And you know, to be practiced when we preach it
keeps you in the driver's seat in the NFC West.

Speaker 6 (48:47):
What does that mean to the team?

Speaker 8 (48:49):
Means great, means it means a lot.

Speaker 30 (48:50):
Honestly, nobody here has one division title except probably lock It,
you know, but you know, guys are hungry, Guys want
to compete in just some other road and it's what
we're trying to get.

Speaker 3 (49:00):
And the Seahawks do.

Speaker 21 (49:01):
Improved to five and one on the road this season.
Bump as we get that back to you.

Speaker 3 (49:05):
Thank you, Jen I was Jenah Wills who had one
tackle today? Why don't you be hit? Wasn't really what
I saw him on out there early in the game.

Speaker 2 (49:14):
I'm not sure what his his pitchcount was, if he
was on a pitch count, but it was nice to
have him back in the mix.

Speaker 3 (49:19):
Did anybody get eyes on Jenna.

Speaker 24 (49:21):
Yeah, early in the game, I watched him a little bit.
You know, he looked like he was trying to find
his way. But I think the big win for him
is that he got in the game and out of
the game healthyest. So now he has some confidence, you know,
you know, working through those injuries and playing you know,
through the rehab and all that kind of stuff, and
so I think he'll be able to cut it loose
this next week.

Speaker 8 (49:39):
Yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 7 (49:41):
I didn't see him in a lot because I saw
Jerk coll and Mathey and a bunch and I also
saw Draymond Jones and a bunch of those. Three of
the most, I saw his number more than I saw him.

Speaker 10 (49:52):
You know.

Speaker 7 (49:52):
It's more like, oh, there's the play, after the play
and I said, oh, there he is walking around.

Speaker 8 (49:57):
So again, you know what, right now, we he's a
luxury for us. E'sn back in.

Speaker 7 (50:02):
He's a really good football player, but we've got three
other guys who are playing at a pretty high level.

Speaker 18 (50:08):
Yeah, the big news is him getting out of their healthy.
That's huge for him, big win mentally for him, I'm
sure too. Just no matter what No matter what kind
of plays he made, Obviously, he wasn't in there all
the time. So that's just for any anyone who spend
any time injured and been keeps getting re injured over
and over, kind of like his pattern has been.

Speaker 2 (50:26):
That's just huge to be able to survive a game
like that. Yeah, it's and it's fun to see Tyrese Knight.
I don't even look at him as a rookie now.
I mean still is a rookie obviously, but there were
when he got the start it was kind of like, Okay,
I got to watch him intently to make sure he's
going to do what he's supposed to do. Now he's
just one of the guys out there. And Jim pointed
out he leads the team in tackles. I believe, No,

(50:47):
that's not true because Jay Love got eighty two of them. Thanks,
but he's probably second all today. Okay, Yeah, he had
himself a good day.

Speaker 7 (50:55):
He had a couple of big hits too. I mean
he had one where I went ooh, he got up,
but you got up slow. I think we know what
we have him in the run game. I mean, he
does have a just a natural feel for where the
ball is going when to slipt blocks. But he's become
pretty good in the pass defense too.

Speaker 8 (51:13):
He can cover.

Speaker 7 (51:14):
He's not lightning speed, but he can cover. He's got
he's got football speed, and I think he has a
good feel. Both Ernest Jones and him, I mean combined,
they have a really good feel for his own defense.
And we saw Ernest Jones today with that great interception
reading the quarterback. I think you know, Tyree's why they
pull him out at times and third down to put
Ernest Jenkins in for him in those situations. He's still

(51:37):
playing seventy eight percent of the snaps. He's not a
liability in the past game.

Speaker 18 (51:41):
We want to talk about a defense having fun though,
and how they're competing with each other. The first thing
Tyree's Knight said to jen was I led the team
in tackles for the first time in my career today.

Speaker 6 (51:49):
So that just shows kind of how they're rolling right now.

Speaker 18 (51:51):
They look at this stuff, they look at its stats,
and there's an inner competition between them, and it shows. Man,
they're playing fast out there, and I just love what
the rook has brought brought and and really the impact
Ernest Jones has had on him too. You can just
tell that he has made the world of difference and man,
coach McDonald, John Snyder, they're looking like geniuses right now,
just with that move they made weeks ago to really

(52:12):
revamp this defense, because those guys continue to show up, Dare.

Speaker 8 (52:15):
It is pretty gutsy. Guys.

Speaker 5 (52:16):
Think about what they did.

Speaker 7 (52:17):
I mean day cut their two starting lineback Green, I
traded him and got rid of and brought in you know,
Ernest Jones, and then started a rookie. I mean to
let Kobe Bryant stay and say we had again, you know,
we had Jenkins and we had John blanc Are, oh Wallace.
I mean those are four starters that have been replaced

(52:41):
and boy as it worked out.

Speaker 3 (52:43):
Yeah, it's good stuff.

Speaker 24 (52:44):
Also today though, like Lennard Williams had a quiet day,
they had seven tackles, two tackles for loss in the
past defense. So the dude, like any other day, you'd
be like, man, that's a big, big time game for him.
But meant the two he's had previous, uh, that kind
of looks like pell in comparison. But it's still a
great day with seven tackles and two of those tackles
for losses.

Speaker 2 (53:04):
Yep, good day for this defense. Like Jen mentioned, Tyree's
night led the day with twelve tackles. He also had
two passes defended more did When we come back, we're
gonna hear from Abe Lucas and Derek Young with Jim Miller.

Speaker 3 (53:15):
That's next on the Umpquad Bank Radio network.

Speaker 2 (53:20):
Seahawks win thirty to eighteen, beating the Arizona Cardinals in
their house. Let's hear from one of the guys who contributed,
Abe Lucas is.

Speaker 3 (53:27):
With Jim Mueller.

Speaker 28 (53:29):
Coming into this game, the Cardinals defense was allowing seventy
rushing yards since Week nine.

Speaker 6 (53:34):
That is the fewest in the NFL.

Speaker 21 (53:36):
You guys, I think double that to What made that
possible today?

Speaker 19 (53:41):
I think, honestly it was just just like playing in
the execution. I mean, nothing too nothing too crazy. We
didn't have to go back to the drawing board or anything.
Were just I think they g and Moss said earlier,
but you run, Jami said softenings that it's not just
in every game, but that's game, the Jamie game, and
just maybe that's something you have think. Did you work
out so we were at an execute player?

Speaker 28 (54:03):
Was any of that based on the fact that you
just saw these guys like two weeks ago. Did it
make it easier to go to the game plan and
know what to expect?

Speaker 19 (54:10):
I think so yeah. I mean if it was easier
for us, and it was also easier for a long time,
you know. I mean I certainly looked at the things
I did last.

Speaker 12 (54:17):
Game and try to do better this game.

Speaker 19 (54:19):
And we switched it up a little bit, not too much,
nothing too crazy, but I think we all bows.

Speaker 12 (54:25):
It pretty well.

Speaker 28 (54:26):
How much of that switch up was just based on
the style of runner that you had back there, because
Zach is very different than ken Walker.

Speaker 19 (54:34):
I don't know. Maybe, I mean, to me, it wasn't
really anything different. I mean, I know how different they
are dunning styles, but you know the principles at the
same as far as you know, it didn't have to
have it the whole wherever they're supposed to go. So
you know, I trust them, I trust their footwork, you know,
I'm just more more so, I guess, speaking on like
my technique.

Speaker 18 (54:52):
And how to play it better.

Speaker 28 (54:54):
Certainly you like to see the rushing yards from sharbon Ay,
and you liked that fifty one yard run and the
one yard touchdown after the takeaway. But what did you
like about the play call that led to the chasn
touchdown one play after the interception?

Speaker 21 (55:06):
It was great.

Speaker 19 (55:07):
I mean, I'm just I'm trust our play players, i
trust our offensive coordinator. You know, I mean I'm not
I'm not blowing anything out of.

Speaker 11 (55:15):
Proportion, I guess.

Speaker 21 (55:17):
I mean, yeah, break all.

Speaker 11 (55:18):
The work, so find my need.

Speaker 21 (55:20):
It does.

Speaker 3 (55:20):
It gives you guys a big lead.

Speaker 28 (55:21):
But when you have a lead in the first quarter,
you know you still have three quarters to go. Is
it a challenge to maintain that level of whether it's intensity, focus,
point scoring.

Speaker 19 (55:31):
I think it can't be for everybody. The bigger challenge,
I think is to keep the entire trying to keep
everybody kind of locked in with that same mentality. You
still have a lot of time enough to play because
I mean it's.

Speaker 12 (55:40):
Human issue off for both so far.

Speaker 28 (55:44):
What happened there in the second half where the offense
wasn't moving it as efficiently. Was that just shooting themselves
to the foot or was that an adjustment that Arizona made.

Speaker 11 (55:51):
It half time.

Speaker 19 (55:52):
I think they made fine adjustments. I mean, they have
good players on It was on the side of you know,
Buddah Bakers at all the player, He's always all over
the place, so I think they're based up. There are
a lot of their defense around him and his ability,
and it works for him, you know. And then we
did share ourselves up with some things, you know, just
in terms of assignments and such, which.

Speaker 21 (56:12):
We can clean up.

Speaker 19 (56:12):
But I mean, yeah, I don't think you're fifty I guess.

Speaker 28 (56:16):
So is it safe to say that the offense in
the run game has officially turned a corner?

Speaker 12 (56:21):
You know, I hope.

Speaker 19 (56:21):
So, I mean, I don't. I mean, I'm not really
trying to look at it too much. I just like
kind of keep things week to week, you know what
I mean. So I don't really I mean the whole
all of the topic, like, oh, have we finally turned
the corner?

Speaker 15 (56:34):
All this?

Speaker 10 (56:35):
It's just one yeah, bit of time, you know what
I mean.

Speaker 19 (56:37):
So, I mean, in the end of the the end
of the season, the results speak for themselves and you
can really re.

Speaker 6 (56:41):
Evaluate putting so that it's just one day and it
is a win and bump.

Speaker 28 (56:45):
Did you know that it is the first time the
Cardinals have lost with the roof open this season.

Speaker 6 (56:51):
We'll get that back to you.

Speaker 3 (56:52):
Thanks, Jen No, I did not know that. I did
not know that.

Speaker 2 (56:55):
I do know that they are ten The Hawks are
ten to one and one. Sin's twenty thirteen in that
piece though, But then now we can add that to
the record books. I think it is safe to say
that the run game is turning a corner. I don't
think it's like it hasn't been the block yet, but
you know it's turning the quarter. And then when you
look at the numbers, two QB hits on Gino today,

(57:18):
no sack. So you got the run game that had
a big day, and they also did a good job
protecting Geno.

Speaker 24 (57:23):
Yeah, and I think like Abe said too, like you
got to let every game have its own history, right,
and just kind of it kind of kind of goes
with that whole idea of like coach McDonald's had a
few days ago about clearing the room, like Okay, let's
just clear the room, start fresh all over again, because
it can come up, it can be a totally different
ball game. You'll come next week with the run game

(57:43):
and all that stuff. But for this game, they found
something that worked and they kept going back to it
and it kept working, and Sharpennaye was doing his thing,
and it does like help the pass protection, Like like
if if you're making a defender have to get off
blocks and then make tackles and chase people down the
field and then you have to throw the ball. There's
a different energy rushing quarterback than when when you know
they can't run it and they can just pin at

(58:05):
yours back and rush the quarterback. So it's going to
help in pass protection where you can run the football.
All right, I think we are going somewhere if you
got something, I look.

Speaker 7 (58:15):
I think the best thing happened to this run game
today with sharbon A's success. Look, you need competition. Yeah,
you know, this is a tough game. And I was
actually kind of shocked that Canines only had one one
hundred yard game. I did not realize this is the
first one hundred yard game by a rusher since Week one.
I was like, what, But there's something going on. Kennine's

(58:39):
been basically pulled from goal line a short yardage for
sharbon A. He didn't play today, and I know he's
nicked up. But when you have success with with with
with somebody like sharbon Ay, here's what we know about
this coaching staff and where Schneider is right. Now you
better get on the train or this train's leaving the station. Yeah,

(58:59):
and we've seen it now, we got we talked about
just a bid of I mean, both starting linebackers gone
for the most part. I get Connor Williams retired, but
was it coming?

Speaker 21 (59:11):
Is it come?

Speaker 7 (59:11):
Because since that move, we've kind of changed the course
as well, right guard, You know, Haynes, next guy up,
can't get it done.

Speaker 8 (59:19):
Next guy up, you got to figure out. We just
cut both returners. Figure it out. Figure it out.

Speaker 12 (59:26):
Man.

Speaker 7 (59:27):
And I'm not jumping on Canine. What I'm saying is
he's too talented not to be having more success. I'm
looking at his yards per care. Three point seven yards
for Canine. You got to the kidney man, Canine by himself,
nobody block and should be getting three to seven. So
I again, I just think this is good. It's a
good confidence builder. I get to go watch and you know,

(59:49):
you give me your analysis on what we were actually doing.
I did like how we were pulling some guys and
mashing people working some stuff outside as well. I think
this will be a good competent tragician's good. You know
if you hey, just because you're the starter, doesn't mean
you're going to remain the starter.

Speaker 18 (01:00:05):
I think when you watch a guy like sharbon Ay
run from like Canine's perspective, he's watched today, you saw
sharbon Ay trust every single run play. He just he
followed his the big one he had the fifty one yarder.
You saw big Abe and so to how polling and
leading the way, and he just trusted it. Where I
think sometimes Canine's been in that situation, you see him

(01:00:25):
just get impatient and cut it.

Speaker 6 (01:00:27):
Back or do something. But sharbon A just trusted it,
hit it.

Speaker 18 (01:00:31):
And I think when you watch this film from Canine's perspective,
he's gonna be like, Okay, like this is a wake
up call exactly what you said. I need to just
start trusting my speed, trusting my blockers, and then once
you get to that second level, started getting old wiggly
and do.

Speaker 11 (01:00:44):
What you do.

Speaker 12 (01:00:44):
But I like it.

Speaker 6 (01:00:47):
But hey, Bob, I'm a little relieved right now. You
said that it was ten to one and one.

Speaker 18 (01:00:51):
The Seahawks are at Arizona, and I kind of thought
that that was our Super Bowl team that lost down there,
but we actually lost Arizona at home.

Speaker 6 (01:00:59):
Okay, Okay, so anyway that was sient.

Speaker 11 (01:01:03):
Out there wasn't me.

Speaker 6 (01:01:04):
It wasn't me.

Speaker 3 (01:01:05):
I think sometimes.

Speaker 2 (01:01:08):
Not having experience can help you, because Charbonage got his
a moment.

Speaker 3 (01:01:13):
And said, I'm doing exactly what I'm coached to do.

Speaker 2 (01:01:16):
Ken Walker's had all these big plays and reverse and
fields and sixty yard touchdowns that it could work against them.
I also want to point out too, that we also
saw the line step their game up too, So it's
not like, you know, if who knows if kN Walker
was playing behind this line the way they performed today
what he could have done. But there's a lot of
stuff going on. But I like that the competition deal

(01:01:38):
because uh yeah, you see your boy go for one
point thirty, you're gonna want to get out there and
improve your work. Let's go back to the locker room,
Jenkada with Derek Young.

Speaker 10 (01:01:48):
Let's start with a.

Speaker 17 (01:01:49):
Big special team stop you make.

Speaker 21 (01:01:50):
It's fourth quarter.

Speaker 28 (01:01:52):
You know the momentum is starting to shift towards the Cardinals.

Speaker 6 (01:01:56):
How big did your eyes get when you realize you
were going.

Speaker 21 (01:01:58):
To be able to make that play on doors?

Speaker 22 (01:02:00):
They got really big, But they were really big because
I had gave up a little bit of my contain
that it was either me or it was gonna be
a big play.

Speaker 6 (01:02:09):
So I know I had to make that play and
just thankful that it uh came out with.

Speaker 5 (01:02:14):
It was a great punt by Michael Dixon.

Speaker 3 (01:02:16):
You know last week you couldn't finish the game.

Speaker 28 (01:02:17):
What's the difference when you have him back there doing.

Speaker 11 (01:02:20):
When he does?

Speaker 25 (01:02:21):
Oh yeah, he's a All pro pro bowler hunter, so
you know he's.

Speaker 22 (01:02:26):
Gonna put it in the right places every time and
give us time to get down there and make a
play for him.

Speaker 6 (01:02:30):
Pretty clean special teams today.

Speaker 28 (01:02:32):
What were the conversations all week after last week's game
against the Juts?

Speaker 11 (01:02:35):
Just continue to be us.

Speaker 22 (01:02:37):
I believe before last week we were like ranked number
one in multiple categories as far as special team. So
really the message week could just keep doing what we're doing,
play fast, physical and discilant football, and that's what we
went out there and did.

Speaker 3 (01:02:48):
Was a man who saw a new returner back there
with you today.

Speaker 6 (01:02:51):
What's the thing learning a new teammate on the fly.

Speaker 3 (01:02:56):
It's pretty It's not too bad.

Speaker 22 (01:02:58):
We've seen a film on him for going against him,
so we knew what type of returning he was and
we was happy to have him gainst oxplosive and uh,
we wish we got him loose today.

Speaker 11 (01:03:08):
But it's gonna call it.

Speaker 28 (01:03:09):
Lastly, for the offense to have almost three hundred yards
and a half time, what does that say about the efficiency.

Speaker 22 (01:03:15):
In the game plan going in great great game plan,
great play calling, and we wasn't shooting ourselves in the field.
We had a couple affunities, but for the most part,
we were just you know, playing leaning football and that's
what it looks like.

Speaker 6 (01:03:27):
All right, we'll get that back to you.

Speaker 25 (01:03:29):
Bump.

Speaker 2 (01:03:30):
Thanks Jen Drake Young got an opportunity. I was happy
to see him back there. I was yelling and screaming, saying,
let him return a kick. He didn't get his hands
on one, but he was back there. He ran a
four to three, so I think it's natural you put
him back there. But he did make it play on
special teams. It's nice that we weren't talking about special
teams today. It's nice that we saw them mess up
on special teams that little Uh what.

Speaker 3 (01:03:51):
Did he pull it? The kicker pulled it to the left,
hit the hit the post and say some points we
liked it.

Speaker 24 (01:03:56):
Yeah, I mean the way the special teams was last week. Man,
it's just good that we didn't have anything in the
show going like, man, what happened with the special teams
and this that and the other thing. But I will
say this too though, that it is it was also
good to come out of the game not feeling like
you had something you had to defend about Gino, Like
he just played a good, solid football game, Like he

(01:04:19):
didn't put the ball in Harm's weight. Looks like he
got him into the right place.

Speaker 15 (01:04:23):
Uh.

Speaker 24 (01:04:23):
There wasn't any like kind of scary throws which you
thought like like why did he, you know, make that pass?
I think he I think he may have ran, tried
to run maybe one time, maybe didn't get sacked, moved
into pocket, well, got the ball out on time, like
all those kinds of things. So it was good that
that Gino had a solid, quiet game even though he
was he made some good throws.

Speaker 7 (01:04:45):
Eight twenty four for thirty seven. You know, I mean
one TV one sen QB ready, I don't understand it. Well,
it wasn't higher, but QBR was only forty three. That
seems kind of low. But he outperformed Kyler Murray, who
had a quarterback rayon of eighty and forty one QBR
and he was twenty five for thirty eight with two interceptions.

Speaker 8 (01:05:07):
So another good job, Niggain. I thought we bottled up.

Speaker 7 (01:05:10):
I mean Kyler Murray in two games five rushes, five
rushes for twenty five yards total. I mean he was
averaging like thirty five when we were playing him. So yeah,
just a really good team defense.

Speaker 18 (01:05:24):
I'm just gonna say it's it's amazing what Gino can
do when he has time and the.

Speaker 6 (01:05:28):
Ability to sit in the pocket and survey a.

Speaker 18 (01:05:31):
Field, and he has not had that earlier in the year,
and that's where some of these interceptions have come from
him improvising making plays. And today was how a quarterback
wants to play football. And that's just hats off to
the offensive line.

Speaker 2 (01:05:42):
Eighty percent completion percentage, the highest of the year so
far for Gino Smith. When we come back, we'll hear
from Kenny McIntosh and give you our game MVP.

Speaker 3 (01:05:50):
That's next Seahawks win thirty eighteen.

Speaker 2 (01:05:54):
This is the Seahawks post game show on Michael Bubbas
with Ray Roberts, Brian Walters, and Paul Moyer. This young
man got seven touches for thirty eight yards. That was
five point four on the ground. Talking about Kenny McIntosh,
let's hear from them.

Speaker 28 (01:06:07):
How good did it feel to contribute to the game.

Speaker 6 (01:06:10):
That's a significant way, man.

Speaker 11 (01:06:11):
Amazing.

Speaker 25 (01:06:12):
Man.

Speaker 16 (01:06:13):
You know, I knew the time was coming, but to
actually be out there in the moment, man, to go
out there and showcase my talent and beat out there
and fighting hard with my teammates. Man, it just it
felt like everything, man, everything, it felt like it meant
to be. So thank god I was able to do
it tonight.

Speaker 28 (01:06:25):
What was the difference when the run game in general?

Speaker 7 (01:06:27):
Today?

Speaker 11 (01:06:27):
Man, I got to go up pretty good.

Speaker 16 (01:06:29):
My old line, man, my whole line had to wake
up on the white side of the bed this morning.

Speaker 10 (01:06:32):
Man, is one to go out damn just bundest.

Speaker 3 (01:06:34):
People today because that's all they was want to do.

Speaker 10 (01:06:36):
There was no penetration.

Speaker 16 (01:06:37):
Really, gods was moving from placing guys moving gods with
the ball. So I sublit my boys, man, my big
guys up front.

Speaker 28 (01:06:44):
The style of Zach Charbanat, the patience that he shows.
Is there anything you wish you had in your game
that he showed today?

Speaker 12 (01:06:53):
That's a tough question.

Speaker 3 (01:06:54):
My boy, did his dad like my boy bowed it
off of he ran the ball hard.

Speaker 16 (01:06:57):
Grand patient ran fast, and it's cool. It's definitely I say,
we definitely contoot after each other.

Speaker 17 (01:07:03):
Man.

Speaker 11 (01:07:03):
We like we learned off each other.

Speaker 16 (01:07:04):
I can say, rather it just blocking anything, pitching the ball,
stuff like that.

Speaker 11 (01:07:08):
We ask questions. We both want to be free, man,
So I.

Speaker 10 (01:07:11):
Definitely put it back off of each other.

Speaker 12 (01:07:12):
We both do.

Speaker 28 (01:07:13):
Definitely, it didn't seem like there was some extra intensity there,
maybe trying to make up for the fact that Can
nine wasn't there. But I'm thinking about your yards after contact.

Speaker 21 (01:07:20):
I don't know how you did.

Speaker 8 (01:07:21):
It, but you forced your way through some big yards.

Speaker 15 (01:07:25):
Man. How did you do it?

Speaker 25 (01:07:27):
Man? Just I definitely got to go back to preparation
and trying this.

Speaker 17 (01:07:30):
Man.

Speaker 16 (01:07:30):
The coach is putting us in this situation and be
able to you know, know the answer the bill to
the question.

Speaker 11 (01:07:36):
And stuff like that.

Speaker 3 (01:07:37):
So definitely the coach's in.

Speaker 16 (01:07:38):
Salute though, giving us the direct operation and pickings in
the right moments and to go out to succeed.

Speaker 28 (01:07:43):
So what is the challenge of maintaining that intensity in
the second half when you're already up a couple of scores?

Speaker 4 (01:07:48):
Man?

Speaker 12 (01:07:48):
Just got to go believe in your run game.

Speaker 9 (01:07:50):
Man.

Speaker 16 (01:07:50):
Once they all get the running and if they all
get to moving down the field, you're believe it in
your front guys.

Speaker 21 (01:07:54):
Man, they can't stop the run.

Speaker 11 (01:07:55):
They can't stop us.

Speaker 25 (01:07:56):
Man.

Speaker 11 (01:07:56):
So as simple as.

Speaker 15 (01:07:57):
That, you notice the hotmo of this offing.

Speaker 16 (01:08:00):
We want to be at a running ball and people
know that we're going to run the ball each year,
especially in the fourth quarter especially. That's what great teams
do now they run the ball in the great zone
in the game, you know, the winning out victoria.

Speaker 28 (01:08:10):
So that's exactly what I was going to ask you,
because those yards are a little tougher to come by
in the second half.

Speaker 3 (01:08:15):
After getting two hundred.

Speaker 28 (01:08:16):
And seventy two in the first half, what was the
level of confidence when you get the ball back with
about seven minutes to go, that you guys were going
to be able.

Speaker 16 (01:08:23):
To run some Well, we have a great, great two
minute four minute offense. We want to say, man, that
that we buying and believe in and guys just going
out there and putting comfortable in that moment and going
out there in lose. So man, I just thank God
for the moment and thank God that we came up
for the win, but thank you, and.

Speaker 28 (01:08:40):
It was really good to see Kenny mack get some
touches out there.

Speaker 21 (01:08:42):
We'll get that back to you, Bump.

Speaker 3 (01:08:44):
Yes it was.

Speaker 2 (01:08:45):
If I'm Kenny mack man, I'm playing Return of the Max,
so as I getting the Whip Return of the Mac,
I'm playing that song. You guys know how I feel
about Kenny mackintosh. Man, I've been begging to see this
young man on the football field. I'm glad he can't
contribute that running back room just got a little.

Speaker 3 (01:09:00):
Thicker up in there. You know, there's not a lot
of space anymore.

Speaker 2 (01:09:02):
Guys are getting carries, man, I think that's a that's
a that's a good, good problem to half well.

Speaker 24 (01:09:07):
I like what Paul said, though, like you create that competition, man,
like you're either gonna rise to it or you're gonna
fall to it, you know.

Speaker 3 (01:09:13):
And right now you have three very capable dudes.

Speaker 11 (01:09:16):
You know.

Speaker 24 (01:09:16):
You know, Kenny McIntosh hadn't had all the carries that
the other two have had, but Sharbonnay showed that, you know,
the style that they want to be in the running
game that he can fit that. And then, like you said,
someone said you know, maybe with knwe with this the
way they perform today, he's a different dude. Uh, And
sometimes I think, uh, I think it was I mean
have been the previous arason the game when he when
they were saying that, he went to the sideline and said,

(01:09:39):
we just need to run the ball in the game.
And then that's when he got downhill on the actual
counterplay with Abe Lucas and you know, you know, had
his handle on his back for like a nicely eight
or nine at ten yard game. Because I do think
he's better when he is downhill and then he makes
the cuts like in the hole versus like in the backfield,
going like I'm gonna totally reverse field and possibly lose

(01:10:02):
two yards but maybe pick up three, you know, something
like that. So I think it's important that moving forward
the run game. Obviously you won't the explosiveness of knin,
but you have to try to mitigate the negative yardish plays.
And I think they did that well in Running Game today.

Speaker 7 (01:10:17):
Yeah, I agree. Yeah, I'll make quick comment. I remember
a Kurt Warner way back when they used to tell him,
they say, look, there are some plays there design. You
have to stay the course with this and there's other
ones we're gonna give you run to daylight. Yeah, and look,
Sharbonay six point one yards per carry today. There's been
a lot of people have come up to me and say,

(01:10:38):
why did we draft.

Speaker 5 (01:10:40):
This second round?

Speaker 7 (01:10:41):
You use a second round pick for another running back?
I go because our culture is to run the football,
and it's still with McDonald after Pete, and we've had
injuries and we see what happened when we don't have
a running back. Sharbon Ay just hadn't had an opportunity. Yeah,
I mean, he got his opportunity today and he made
the most of it. So you need running back since
I was a good day. And obviously glad for Macintosh

(01:11:02):
too because he had seven carries and he had two receptions.

Speaker 12 (01:11:05):
Yeah.

Speaker 18 (01:11:05):
And going to the negative plays that Big Ray was
talking about, kind of two negative plays for one yard
only minus one yard each of them. So and that's
just huge because you saw some of these things developed
and sometimes they aren't there, but he saw him just
put his nose.

Speaker 6 (01:11:18):
In it and get two or three.

Speaker 18 (01:11:19):
And that's this huge for the whole complex of the
drive as opposed to you know, sticking your foot in
the ground, reversing field and it's minus five. Now you're
second and fifteen, third and fifteen. It just makes a
lot tougher. So it's just little wins like that, just
staying on on schedule. It was huge and sharbon they
brought that today, you know, because K nine's CA nine
can be tough.

Speaker 7 (01:11:38):
I mean, we've seen him run over people. He's not
afraid of contact right now.

Speaker 8 (01:11:42):
He's elusive.

Speaker 7 (01:11:43):
And that's why I said, if you can be that consistent,
this place designed here, this is where we're going, and
you become that two way type of player. You know,
there's this guy at Arizona State. He's pretty good at
doing both.

Speaker 3 (01:11:57):
The speaking of a tough runner man because a J.

Speaker 2 (01:11:59):
Barner ye of the toughest runs after they catch the day,
running over to defend on the sideline. All right, let's
give our game MVPs. Gotta put that headset back on you.
I'm ready, all right, who you got? I'm going with
Jack Charbonay easy, would you gotta be.

Speaker 6 (01:12:13):
M That's a good one.

Speaker 18 (01:12:14):
But I'm also I'm gonna go with my key pregame, Keyhawk,
which was a sharp.

Speaker 24 (01:12:21):
Well, you know, I'm gonna have to go against the
grain a little bit you know, and get Zack Saberne.

Speaker 3 (01:12:27):
It's just hard not to pick him up.

Speaker 24 (01:12:29):
You can say the offensive line, but we're not going
to pull the turbo thing there and call the whole
offensive line. But I thought that the rookie played well today.
A big ape showed up big in the in the
in the run game. Charles Cross even on that on
that fifty one yard touchdown, he came off the double
team and went and engaged the safety. That really opened
up the space for Charbonay to get through there and

(01:12:49):
get to the touchdown. So I thought they did well
up front. But charbon Ay really set the tone today
and was the was the MVP.

Speaker 18 (01:12:56):
To your defense? Coach did give the line all game balls? Yes,
there you go, so yeah, we'll go first.

Speaker 2 (01:13:01):
I'm a happy first unanimous game MVP of the year,
Zach Scharmoney.

Speaker 3 (01:13:05):
I think he deserved it, all right.

Speaker 7 (01:13:07):
He had one hundred and ninety five yards total off
one ninety five.

Speaker 2 (01:13:11):
I mean, that's a good day. It's a great day
at office, all right. When we come back, we will
look forward to next week. The Green Bay Packers are
coming into time. We'll break that down next on the
Quad Bank Radio Network.

Speaker 31 (01:13:23):
And off.

Speaker 5 (01:13:23):
Charbon Bay left.

Speaker 32 (01:13:24):
Side has a first down of the zep he down
the thirty the twenty fifteen ten five touchdown Seahawks, and
they are still chasing. Zack Charbonay forty nine yards to
paydirt his second touchdown of the game.

Speaker 11 (01:13:43):
The Seahawks came.

Speaker 4 (01:13:44):
In saying we gotta find a way to run the ball.

Speaker 5 (01:13:47):
Holy can't fish.

Speaker 4 (01:13:48):
They do forty nine yards for another six for Charbonay
and the Seahawks extend their lead twenty three to ten.

Speaker 2 (01:13:58):
The call the game is brought to you by a
beacon plumbing. Stop freaking call beacon all right? Next week
Sunday Night Football Packers are coming into town and they're
one of the better teams in the league. There are
nine and four, third in the toughest division in football,
the NFC North, just coming off a loss to the
Lions thirty four to thirty one. Before that, they had
a three game win a streak beating the Dolphins thirty

(01:14:19):
to seventeen, Niners thirty eight to ten, and then the
Bears twenty to nineteen. Lost both matchups against the Lions.
So far, Jordan Love, so far this year has had
himself a decent season. I mean, it's crazy how they
just find quarterbacks over there in Green Bay. He's completed
sixty two percent of his passes, twenty one touchdowns, eleven interceptions.

Speaker 18 (01:14:39):
This should be a good one, be wal What are
you expecting. Well, it goes back to the same thing.
You got to stop the run, and that's Josh Jacobs.
He's number three in the league right now in rushing,
so they're going to run the ball. He's a good runner,
I mean, and he's kind of a high he's a
little you put Saquon and Derek Henry kind of as outliers.

Speaker 6 (01:14:55):
They're crushing the NFL in rushing yards. And that's Josh
Jacobs up next.

Speaker 18 (01:14:58):
So as much as you know Julian Love, Jordan Love
has shown he's a good quarterback and all that, they
still they want to run the ball. That's what they've
been true to. And Josh Jacobs has been a heck
of a pickup for him from the Raiders and they've
really revamped that run game. There's nothing to me in
this receiving court. When you look at them, that's overwhelming.
You know, it looks like Marvin Harrison Junior for the card.

(01:15:22):
The Seahawks have gone against a lot better receivers in
my opinion than what they're facing with Green Bay. But
Jordan Love will be an issue. But stop the run,
keep doing what you're gonna do. And I think it's
amazing how things change. You looked at this game on
the schedule four or five weeks ago and you're going, oh, no,
like that stretch is gonna be tough with Green Bay Minies.
So now you're going, man like, I think, I like

(01:15:42):
our chances in this Sunday night at home, prime time,
and you win.

Speaker 6 (01:15:47):
It's just it's I think you're all. But in the
playoffs pretty much.

Speaker 8 (01:15:50):
Gonna be a tough game. Statistically, they got some really
good statistics.

Speaker 7 (01:15:54):
I mean they're you know, they're outscoring opponents by a
pretty good amount. They've only given or Love has only
been sacked eleven times in eleven games. I mean that
even his backup been sacked five games and five times
in five games.

Speaker 8 (01:16:09):
So they're good.

Speaker 7 (01:16:09):
They're they're a sack a game that's extremely low in
the NFL. They're averaging eight point five yards per catch
or per attempt in the past game.

Speaker 8 (01:16:18):
That's healthy. They're averaging four point eight yards a rush.

Speaker 7 (01:16:20):
That's healthy defensively, twelve interceptions. You know, they're they got playmakers.
I don't you know, you look at sack wise, they
don't have anybody that's just dominant. I think they're leading
sackers four and a half five may five and a
half foot when I look last, you know, thirty three.
Nothing to just sneeze home about. But we're right home about.
But this is gonna be a tough game. They're just

(01:16:41):
well coached. They believe they've got an athletic quarterback who
has finally come into his own.

Speaker 8 (01:16:48):
But this is we're playing well man, we are.

Speaker 7 (01:16:51):
We should relish this opportunity on national TV and get
our home field advantage the way we want it.

Speaker 8 (01:16:58):
So I'm looking forward to this one.

Speaker 24 (01:16:59):
Yeah say, you know, like you said, the running game
is a big deal because Jacobs also has eleven uh
rushing touchdowns, which is a you know, big deal. But
they're almost like a poor man's uh Detroit Lions. They're
not quite as physical and tough, but they're gritty like.
They they're hard to finish and uh and so that's
why it's going to be important, uh for the defense

(01:17:20):
to show up and show well, get you know, get
off the field and for the offense to have long
sustainable drives ending in scoring points. Because they can score,
they can go in little spurts and score a lot
of points and get back into football games. So it's
going to be important, uh for them to for the
seatouts to have another all around solid game tackling, rushing
the quarterback, defending the past, but also rushing the ball,

(01:17:41):
protecting the ball in the passing game, and then making
some plays throwing the ball.

Speaker 2 (01:17:45):
All right, let's pause in seconds to give our network
stations a chance to identify themselves here on the Umpquad
Bank Radio network see the.

Speaker 21 (01:17:52):
Hawks football OH seasons k I r row k I
r row FMG took comach she got Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:18:02):
It should be a good one next week against the Packers.

Speaker 25 (01:18:05):
Man.

Speaker 2 (01:18:05):
I like the way that you described on Big Ray.
A gritty team, a young team too, man, with some
young talent over there. They don't have any receivers like
b Wall mentioned that will overwhelm you, but they spread
the football out. You got one receiver with almost seven
hundred and another one with almost six, another tight end
with five, another one with four. They got some options
over there. But let's see, these guys can take advantage

(01:18:27):
of Jordan Love and is a perceived turnover issue, so
we shall see today's final score.

Speaker 3 (01:18:32):
Seahawks thirty Cardinals eight.

Speaker 11 (01:18:34):

This is Hawk Talk Postgame, a joint presentation of Cairo
News Radio ninety seven three FM and Seattle Sports, brought
to you by your Bookal Carrier, Heating and cooling Dealer,
Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center, and by Palla Windows and Doors
of Western Washington.

Speaker 2 (01:19:56):
Welcome to Hawk Talk. A'm Michael Bump is with the fellas.
We are in celebration mode. The Seahawks win on the
road A thirty to eight teen Fellas, Big Ray b Waal,
Paul Moya. Yeah, this was a game that these guys needed.
We wanted some help from the from the bills. It's
okay they did. They didn't help the squad out, but

(01:20:17):
these guys did exactly what they were supposed to do.
Geno Smith twenty four thirty two and thirty three yards.
Zach Sarbonne, the star of the show twenty two carries,
one thirty four and two touchdowns, also had about fifty
plus receiving yards as well. You described this Moyer as,
or was it b Walt, the most complete game of
the season so far.

Speaker 7 (01:20:36):
I think we probably boll said it because I think
it was you know, it's one of those you know,
I guess second half of the offense could have done
a little better.

Speaker 8 (01:20:45):
But when we needed a most, because.

Speaker 7 (01:20:47):
They had gone three and out on three of their
four drives, we needed a most. It was their last
drive to get the field goal. It was they were
usually their tad. We forced all three of their timeouts
on they It only was about a two minute drive,
but it was a ten play, forty three yard type
of drive that kicked a field goal to go up
you know where they had to score two touchdowns to
beat us with no timeouts and no two minute warning anymore. So,

(01:21:09):
I just think defensively, we've just been so consistent loving that. Offensively,
why was the most complete game because we actually had
one hundred yard rusher today.

Speaker 8 (01:21:16):
You felt like we could run the ball for some
big plays, converted on some third downs.

Speaker 7 (01:21:21):
We dominated every statistic. You know, we obviously outscored then
we had more yards, third down conversions, won the turnover battle.
I mean, it was just it was a it was
a coach's dream game on the road, big And here's
my last thing on that. Why was it so important?
I mean it knocked Arizona out of the playoffs. Yeah,
if they win, it completely flips it. And you guys,

(01:21:44):
I think on your show, Bump, I was hearing it
was the Seahawks win, it's sixty five seventy percent chance
to make the playoffs. They don't, it goes down to
like eleven percent. Arizona same thing if they win, you know,
it's fifty sixty. Because of the schedule they have coming up.
They got two easy games coming see how got two
tough games? So this was a massively important game and
we're just playing really good football. You don't win four

(01:22:06):
games in a row by accident.

Speaker 12 (01:22:08):
Right, Yeah.

Speaker 24 (01:22:08):
And I loved what they were doing up front with
the running game. The guys have been super physical. The
running backs were being patient. You know, both McIntosh and
Charbonnay had good yards per carry averages. And it looks
like the offensive line was having fun playing football. Like
there were some games this year where I thought, like, man,
the offensive linemen looking at the clock, like, man, can

(01:22:29):
that thing run any faster? You know, so we can
get up out of here. But they were doing some
good stuff up front today. They were grinding it out.
Sometimes it isn't pretty but if you keep trying to finish,
you can create holes for guys to find lanes to run.
And they were able to do that today and so
I'm excited for where this offensive offensive performance could go
if they're able to keep building off of what the

(01:22:50):
success they had in the running game today.

Speaker 18 (01:22:52):
Well, you know what's cool about this offense too, is
this is actually the fifth week in a row. Paul
said it, but this is actually a fifth week in
a row that the offense is scored in the final
drive in regulation and the rams is a little skewed
because they didn't score in an overtime, but the final
driving regulation they score, and so it's just showing and
they're either getting the game out arrange by kicking a
field goal or other teams can't do, or forty nine

(01:23:13):
ers they're running it in for a touchdown Gino Smith
or the game winner. So the offense is performing when
they need to toward the end and not you know,
giving the ball back with the team to have a chance.
But to me, what stood out to me is flaws
that the Seahawks have had that we've always talked about
as far as turnovers and sacks and short yardage woes
and stuff. They got that fixed today. Special teams got

(01:23:36):
that fix today. Short yardage third and short five for
six today. Pretty impressive there, that turnaround and they were
able to punch it in on the goal line. There
were sharpenning on the fly sweep, so they had some
things rolling for him that way. They made the adjustments
and all that. Most of all that, actually, all of it,
I'll go back to that is all offensive line. The
offensive line is the MVP of this game. It was

(01:23:58):
really fun to watch Gino was pressured twice, he sat there.
He was able to do his thing. His You know,
Geno's known for his high percentage completion eighty percent today
and that's all on the offensive line.

Speaker 6 (01:24:08):
Given him a normal day back there.

Speaker 12 (01:24:10):
Yeah.

Speaker 24 (01:24:10):
The other thing I like too in those short yardage
and like gold to goal situations, and I think coach
McDonald spoke a little bit about it this week was
that it seemed as if they had a plan versus
going like, oh shoot, like now we found ourselves in
this situation.

Speaker 3 (01:24:23):
What plays did we have?

Speaker 24 (01:24:24):
It didn't like, it just didn't feel connected that way
up until today today. It seems like they went into
a definite plan, like if we're you know, short yardage
in this part of the field, you know, at this
time of the game, whatever, we're gonna run this bank
of plays. If we're goal to goal, we're gonna run
this bank of place. It seems like they had a
method to the madness for their short yardage today.

Speaker 18 (01:24:44):
And we saw that in the first drive. You the
third and one twice on that drive and they threw
a flat to no offense. It's like they had something
they knew, maybe a weakness they've seen on film. But
they didn't bring in the bigs. They didn't bring in
anything that said, hey, run run, run only. But they
opened up their whole playbook and that was what they took.
They took the little one yard flat route there to
no a fense. So yeah, I agree with that, that's

(01:25:05):
a that's a good call. They definitely had a plan.

Speaker 7 (01:25:07):
Won the special teams too, partly because their punter was
out there. Their kicker when he became the punter only
averaged thirty nine yards per kick. But you know, Dixon,
who we weren't sure he was even going to play,
had another just monster game. I mean, he averaged you
know what, fifty three fifty four yards per per kick
and then thinking netted around forty three as well, and

(01:25:29):
had a couple of times where we pined them, you know,
one of them down to the two yard line when
we needed it, you know where. Okay, if they're going
to go down and score and make this a field
goal game, let's make him go ninety plus yards with
which we did so.

Speaker 8 (01:25:40):
Yep, complete game.

Speaker 7 (01:25:41):
I mean, see when keep this going because this is
the next one is going to be It's we played
all good teams, you know, and good quarterbacks over this
last five weeks, but this is the this is a
real deal playoff game coming up.

Speaker 2 (01:25:54):
Yeah, it's I think now the Hawks have eleven interceptions.
Now Kobe Bryant had one, Ernie Jones had one as well.
That moves them into the top ten. When it comes
to taking the football away going into the Packers game,
you want to take the football out of this sky
because Jordan Love might do that.

Speaker 3 (01:26:09):
But uh, this was a good one.

Speaker 2 (01:26:10):
I felt like there was a flow to this game
that we haven't seen, especially the way they've responded after
giving up that early touchdown. Kobe Bryant gets caught looking
in the backfield, then he bounces back with an interception,
so all around good game. And the kick returner he
showed up from Canada and he caught the football and
he looked smooth and confident doing him.

Speaker 3 (01:26:28):
You love to see it, all right.

Speaker 2 (01:26:30):
When we come back, we'll hear from Kobe Bryant at
the podium. That's next on your home for the Seahawks
Saddle Sports seven ten and Kyra News Radio ninety seven
three FM.

Speaker 23 (01:26:38):
This this is Hawk Talk Postgame, a joint presentation of
Cairo News Radio ninety seven to three FM and Seattle Sports.

Speaker 2 (01:26:48):
You are listening to Hawk Talk the Seahawks get it
done thirty to eighteen in Arizona. Let's hear from Kobe Bryant.
He got his third pick of the season today to take.

Speaker 15 (01:26:59):
What happened on that play, Yeah, just in the middle
of the field seeing the over and uh, you know
it just took my shot. You know, he just happened
to throw it, So you know, he's got to take
advantage of the opportunity.

Speaker 21 (01:27:09):
Mike, except that was kind of bust on that play.
So when you see that as like, the first thing
is you got to get there.

Speaker 15 (01:27:14):
Yeah, I mean that's what I'm in the middle field
for you know, to help you know, whatever it is,
if I see it and nothing else behind me, just
go get it.

Speaker 3 (01:27:21):
So that's what I did.

Speaker 12 (01:27:23):
You always have the balk on your way, You always
close to making players or did something to come to
you in the NFL.

Speaker 15 (01:27:29):
Nah, I've pretty much always been like that, you know,
just blessed to have that trait, and you know, I
plan on keep going and keep doing it.

Speaker 12 (01:27:36):
What do you what do you credit that to do?
Where do you think that comes from?

Speaker 15 (01:27:40):
I have no idea. My dad and my brother can't
catch as good as me, So sorry Dad and my brother.
But it's just the reality of it. I just like
I said, it's just always you know, I've always had it,
had So you want a couple.

Speaker 4 (01:27:52):
Of years out of interception, just feel like a foreign
ring on that intercept?

Speaker 3 (01:27:56):
Well, I hope.

Speaker 15 (01:27:57):
So you know, we all know I gotta rob the
couple was my rookie year with the interceptions. So but
just like I said, just blessed. Always get credit to guy,
you know, it's the biggest thing, and just keep playing
our style of football.

Speaker 10 (01:28:08):
What was kind of the mindset after?

Speaker 13 (01:28:10):
I mean they right right down the field to score
the first time, and then you guys have to come
you know, come back after that.

Speaker 15 (01:28:14):
I mean, what's kind of just keep playing. You know,
things are going to happen. Like I said, they're a
good team obviously they have good players. Just keep playing
and you know, lock in and just come together as one.
That's what we did talk.

Speaker 12 (01:28:25):
About Krek McDonald's game planning and dway calling after this game.

Speaker 15 (01:28:28):
Yeah, he does it up for us each and every week.
You know, we we thank him and you know vice versus. Well,
you know, he's got to go out there and execute.
That's what we did.

Speaker 12 (01:28:36):
What's communication like during the week with him, you know,
I guess relating the game.

Speaker 15 (01:28:39):
And yeah, he definitely you know, asks our pain on things. Obviously,
he's always so so locked in on what he wants
to call and how he sees things, and he all,
like I said, he's our opinion, and we tell him
how we feel, and you know, it's just working together
as one.

Speaker 10 (01:28:55):
Something that he would ask your opinion, just I mean, just.

Speaker 15 (01:28:57):
How we see the things, like you know, just specific
the coverage or whatever that catch me be off to me.
He is the head coach and you know he calls
the shots and we just got to go out there execute.

Speaker 16 (01:29:06):
Previous coaches, you see him as as being more likely
to use what his players can get to him for
game playing the other way around.

Speaker 15 (01:29:14):
I mean, he's I could say, he's definitely open minded,
like I said, and we appreciate that, especially a players,
because ultimately we have to go out there and execute
and they doll it up. And it's been working pretty fun.

Speaker 12 (01:29:25):
Been complaining abot knocking your PI?

Speaker 15 (01:29:28):
Yeah, pretty sure. You got seen that. He's just playing
with passion.

Speaker 23 (01:29:32):
Man.

Speaker 15 (01:29:32):
You know that he's tall, fast, Nobody's gonna run past him,
so guys have to push off. And you know, we
were fortunate enough to get that call, but if he didn't,
it was definitely gonna be a pick by him.

Speaker 12 (01:29:40):
So do you feel like you're on a roll or
do you feel like you're just playing now you're supposed to?
Do you know where do you guys feel you're at right?

Speaker 15 (01:29:46):
You definitely playing and we're supposed to. You know, we
just got to keep going. We got a big one
next week and just like I said, just keep playing
our Sello football.

Speaker 12 (01:29:55):
Totally. Thank you, thanks Ja.

Speaker 2 (01:30:00):
That was Kobe Bryant, one of the few players taking
advantage of opportunities man, you got Rayshawn Jenkins, who gets hurt.
Kobe gets to start and it looks like it's his
position now for the time being. He got Tyree's Knight,
who took advantage of an opportunity that was created by him.
Old with Timmy, who's taking advantage of an opportunity created
by someone retiring. I mean, that's why you have a

(01:30:21):
depth chart. So guys step up and take a hold
of it. I love the way Kobe has been praying, would.

Speaker 24 (01:30:25):
Have been saying, I just like love this idea, Like,
you know, you hear it all the time, Next man Up,
all this other kind of stuff I think gets really clicheish,
you know sometimes because if it was about the next
man up, that dude would have been the starter to
begin with. Like just kind of just kind of weird
that way. But in this situation, dudes are are ready
to play. They're prepared. It seems like they've been coached

(01:30:48):
very well. They they've been receptive to the coaching and
then been able to take it to the field. You know,
Like one of even in the run game, I thought
that there were some things that they were I saw
them doing in practice, not saying the guys executed into games,
and it seemed like today a little bit of more
of that was in alignment. You know, you look at
and you look at a guy like Kobe Bryant, like
this dude has been from corner to nicole to I

(01:31:09):
think both safeties. I'm for what I can figure, and
this dude has just continued to be ready to play football.
And sometimes the ball just finds you when you're when
you're playing like that.

Speaker 21 (01:31:18):
So I love the way that.

Speaker 24 (01:31:23):
We talked about earlier, even in the offensive line room
where it's kind of I mean, the running back room
has kind of created some competition at the right guard spot.
It's created some competition, you know what I'm saying, Like that,
at the receiver spots you know Gino, I mean, DK
and JSN. There's there's some competition there and so either
going to rise to it or you're gonna fall to it.

(01:31:43):
And the guys have been rising to those occasions.

Speaker 7 (01:31:45):
Yeah, I think it's actually helped. Say it's right, Rayshawn
Jenkins has been playing well again. You know, he's tackling
well when he's getting in there. So it's just like anything,
you know, it raises everybody's level of play and what
that means for Kobe as well. Kobe can't be giving
up forty one yard touchdowns, right, I mean, you can't

(01:32:06):
settle seven yards when a wide receiver. Now again, who knows,
maybe they thought was a sided just maybe someone was
supposed to jam the wide receiver at the line's scrammage.
I don't know, but that's your responsibility. It's like a
quarterbacks in your hand, doesn't matter.

Speaker 3 (01:32:21):
You threw it.

Speaker 8 (01:32:22):
Don't throw those interceptions. So can't.

Speaker 7 (01:32:24):
So he's got to keep You got to keep getting
better because in this game, and then this is the
old cliche, you need to getting better or you're getting
worse because they are going to find your weaknesses. And so,
you know, you start, you start a bunch of games
and then all of a sudden, I think Josh Job
is going through that right now. Okay, we found a
little bit of your weakness. You've got to improve on

(01:32:44):
it or you're going to make sure that doesn't beat you.
And so I think it's great. We've got so many
good players right now, you know, on the defensive line, corners, safeties,
guys who can multiple you know, hybrid rolls.

Speaker 8 (01:32:57):
So it's just healthy. It's a wonderful one, wonderful problem
for coach McDonald have.

Speaker 6 (01:33:02):
Yeah, I used to love as a white out bump.

Speaker 18 (01:33:05):
You'll you'll probably uh agree with me on this when
you see a safety sitting about seven eight yards off
a wrap and flat footed and you're like, right, all right,
I'm probably gonna score on this one or you know,
whether it be one. I used to go against Earl
and practice, and whenever Earl jammed me, I was always upset.
But whenever he was like six seven yards off me,
I was like, it's done. There's no way, Like, there
is no chance. So it's just a tough spot for

(01:33:25):
a safety to be in. And that's why something tells
me there was something else going on, some kind of
miscommunication or miscoverage that happen. But what I love is
you got burned and then he came back and finished
with an interception and you didn't really you didn't see
anything bad from him the rest of the game. So
he kind of he recovered and and he's just been
he's been, he's been a ball hawk for this team.

Speaker 3 (01:33:44):
Yeah, it's been.

Speaker 2 (01:33:44):
Uh, it's been fun watching Kobe kind of because he
went there was stuff too. Tod kept getting messed up
and uh, you bring guys in, they take your spot.

Speaker 3 (01:33:52):
Are you a corner?

Speaker 2 (01:33:52):
Are you a nickel? Now you're a safety? And to
see him kind of step up in these moments are great.
And then obviously the big one today Zach Sharvada taking
advantage of opportunity. Cana is going to be happy for him,
but Canaan is also going to feel that pressure to
really step up and play some good ball. So I
think that's good. Competition is always good within your team.
So hopefully these guys keep the good times rolling. All right,

(01:34:13):
when we come back, we will recap some of the
highlights of this game, that thirty eighteen win over the
Arizona Cardinals.

Speaker 3 (01:34:20):
That's next on your home for the Seahawks South Sports
seven to ten in com News Radio ninety seven three FM.

Speaker 23 (01:34:24):
This is Hawk Talk postgame, our choint presentation of Cairo
News Radio ninety seven to three FM and Seeattle Sports.

Speaker 2 (01:34:34):
You are listening to Hawk Talk, and if you listen
to Hawk Talk every single week you hear this music, you.

Speaker 3 (01:34:40):
Know what it is.

Speaker 2 (01:34:41):
It is time to look at these highlights and recap
this same all right, to start, the Cardinals get the
football and they're moving it down the field. They go
six place, seventy yards and Colin Murray funds Michael Wilson
for this forty one yard touchdown. Seven zero Cardinals orry.

Speaker 4 (01:34:54):
Maybe changing the play at the line of scriviage, has
a tight slot on the right side, playfake, He rolls
to the right, stops gonna throw deep. Got a man
out there making the catch in for the touchdown.

Speaker 5 (01:35:05):
Arizona is Michael Wilson. A trip said. On the right side.

Speaker 4 (01:35:12):
Kobe Bryant was the safety and he got beat deep
on the far side, a forty one yard touchdown. The
Seahawks have not given up many big plays of late
that time. They do and it hurts them for six.

Speaker 7 (01:35:26):
Yeah, it's really about the only bad series the Seahawks had.
And they kept the drive alive a couple of times.
But as b Walt said, a dream for a wide
receiver seeing a safety off six seven yards flat footed
as you're running full speed.

Speaker 8 (01:35:40):
Not sure if there was supposed to be a jam
on the slot or not. We were in a blitz.
There was no help over the top, and you know
what they scored on their opening drive. It happens we.

Speaker 2 (01:35:49):
Came back Cardinals set the tone. They go up seven zero.
The Seahawks get the full ball. They go thirteen plays
seventy one yards got to set a four field goal,
and then the defense starts to show up.

Speaker 3 (01:35:58):
This play right here, Jones intercepts Kyler Murray.

Speaker 4 (01:36:02):
There were a couple of five Arizona Cardinals in the
middle of that scrum at the defensive front. Who's Jay Reid,
the guy who they had to hold so second down
in nineteen Now back in his own twenty one, starting
out an epistol formation, Now Connor slides over to the
right side, three receivers left for Kyler Murray's going to.

Speaker 15 (01:36:19):
Throw the middle.

Speaker 5 (01:36:20):
It's intercepted Jones. He's across the twenty, tripped up and.

Speaker 32 (01:36:23):
Dropped at the nineteen yard line for the second time
in three weeks. Kyler Murray and his own end of
the field throws a pick and except for a bit
of a trip, it would have been another pick six.
But as it is, the Seahawks haven't near the red
zone of the Arizona Cardinals, and Jones comes up with

(01:36:45):
the interception.

Speaker 24 (01:36:46):
Yes, it's just amazing how Ernest Jones has kind of
folded into this defense as if he has been here
the entire year, and then his leadership is just unbelievable
considering he's still just a young dude, and so for
him to be able to get get to his get
his head around, he said to ball surprise him. But
he had good hands and was able to catch it.
So good for Ernest Jones on that interception.

Speaker 2 (01:37:06):
Now just gets your spot and you might be a
hand to a gift. But the Seahawks waste no time.
Very first play, Gino finds Jayson from the.

Speaker 4 (01:37:15):
Cardinals nineteen three receivers near side. Gino has time, He's
going to.

Speaker 5 (01:37:20):
Throw the near side corner. Jan then heads the touchdown.

Speaker 4 (01:37:24):
Seahawks quick turn around the Seahawks offense on the field
and Gino looks right to the back corner of the
end zone.

Speaker 5 (01:37:33):
A perfect pass, a rainbow drop in over the top to.

Speaker 4 (01:37:38):
Check some smiff and jigbaw a nineteen yard reception, his
fifth touchdown on the season.

Speaker 5 (01:37:44):
And there are Seahawks.

Speaker 4 (01:37:45):
Fans sitting right along the back of the end zone
and he runs right there and he is hugged by
the twelves. The Seahawks take the lead at nine to seven.

Speaker 18 (01:37:55):
What I love about this is. This is a sudden
change opportunity for the offense. Defense makes the big turnover
offense back end. A lot of coaches will have a
shot play, take a shot. The momentum is on your side.
Go get that touchdown. JSN runs a fantastic route out
of the slot to corner out simple but he stays
straight at this defender, gives him a late move, little

(01:38:16):
nod and goes right to the corner. Is able to
get two feet in. Great ball by Gino.

Speaker 2 (01:38:19):
I didn't appreciate that route until I saw the replay.
That little stick at the top. We call that Coach
Levy style a radical movement. Be violent at the top
of your route. You get the defense to react. That's
what we saw there. Now Cardinals are trying to respond.
Are they gonna bounce back? No, sir, Defense shows of
one more time.

Speaker 4 (01:38:35):
Second down to nine from the thirty one play fake
Rury steps up with the pocket, looks flag is down,
throw far time intercept.

Speaker 21 (01:38:42):
It again Kobe Ryant, this time down.

Speaker 5 (01:38:45):
The near sidelines.

Speaker 4 (01:38:46):
When he's knocked down the bounds in front of the
Arizona bench at about the forty five.

Speaker 5 (01:38:51):
There's a hold. Does it stand? I think the interception
will stand.

Speaker 7 (01:38:57):
Well, Kobe giveth a touchdown on the opening drive and
he taketh away on that one.

Speaker 8 (01:39:03):
And I'm just going to read this. This is from
Brady Henderson with ESPN. He said.

Speaker 7 (01:39:07):
Mike McDonald said Kobe Bryant's interception came on a play
in which the Seahawks busted a coverage. Said, having a
post safety that can erase some things. You need those guys.
McDonald said, he's playing at a high level right now
and this was on that last pick, so busted coverage,
he recovered for them. And again, you guys all said,
I mean Kobe Bryant's playmaker.

Speaker 3 (01:39:28):
I wonder what it was.

Speaker 2 (01:39:29):
Busted coverage is in the middle of the field, so
he was probably helping the thirds of the right side
of him, is what you're thinking.

Speaker 8 (01:39:35):
Well, I if I remember the plague, you go back there.
I want to see it.

Speaker 7 (01:39:37):
Maybe there was some type of play action bootleg and
said nobody covered the kind of the deep crossing route
and so Kobe had to pick that.

Speaker 8 (01:39:44):
There's no one there in the middle of the field.

Speaker 2 (01:39:46):
Kobe making plays and you know else, Madson plays this
guy right here, Zach sharbon a big race goes a
one yard touchdown.

Speaker 4 (01:39:54):
Gino under center, sharbon A in motion, he gets a handoff,
goes from left to right, turns up.

Speaker 21 (01:39:59):
Field, touchdown.

Speaker 5 (01:40:02):
Seahawks.

Speaker 4 (01:40:04):
A lot of motion, a lot of eye candy, half
a dozen tight ends on the field, but all in all,
it's Charbonay with a handoff to the left side.

Speaker 5 (01:40:13):
He takes it in from a yard out, his sixth
rushing touchdown.

Speaker 11 (01:40:17):
Of the season.

Speaker 4 (01:40:17):
And now the Seahawks stretch that lead sixteen to seven,
and you can hear the twelves here at State Farm Stadium.

Speaker 24 (01:40:27):
Yeah, you know, this is a formation that they kind
of ended up in that they ran last week when
Charbonnay was in the full back position and Canine was
in that flysweek position and they gave it the charbon
Ay for the touchdown and.

Speaker 3 (01:40:38):
Used Knine as kind of the eye candy.

Speaker 24 (01:40:41):
This time, they put Charbonay into flysweek position and Rustle
at the full back position and they give it to
Charbonay on the fly sweep gets around the end for
a touchdown. So it's really cool to see them playing
off of those same formations. Even with all that shifting
and stuff, they still were in that same basic formation
they were in last week when they scored, and then
this time they used the fly sweet versus the dive

(01:41:01):
play up the middle, connecting.

Speaker 3 (01:41:02):
The dots right there.

Speaker 2 (01:41:03):
That was a five play, forty six yard drive, making
the score seventeen to seven. The Cardinals get the football.
They go ten play, sixty one yards put on the foot.
The kick is good. Seventeen to ten. The Hawks are
still up. Then they exchange some punts.

Speaker 3 (01:41:16):
They go out.

Speaker 2 (01:41:16):
Now the biggest play of the game. Five plays eighty yards.
The fifty one of those yards come right here and off.

Speaker 5 (01:41:22):
Charbonete left side has the first down of thes up.

Speaker 32 (01:41:25):
He's down the thirty to twenty fifteen ten five touchdown
Seahawks and they are still chasing zex. Charmoney forty nine
yards to paydirt, his second touchdown of the game.

Speaker 5 (01:41:42):
The Seahawks came in.

Speaker 4 (01:41:43):
Saying, we gotta find a way to run the ball,
Holy ken Fish. They do forty nine yards for another
six for Charboney and the Seahawks extend their lead twenty
three to ten.

Speaker 18 (01:41:56):
Yeah, with Charbone's day for sure, this is a great
play by the seahow the whole right side of the
offensive line pulling left, Charbonney follows him.

Speaker 6 (01:42:03):
Showed patients.

Speaker 18 (01:42:04):
He showed patients all day in his runs and really
making great cuts off the off these blocks.

Speaker 6 (01:42:09):
And here here was what impressed me the most on
this is the burst.

Speaker 18 (01:42:12):
I haven't seen a burst like this from sharbonnay ever.
I didn't know he had this in him. But once
he got into the open space, you can see him
put his head down and he started to pull away
a little.

Speaker 6 (01:42:21):
Bit into the end zone. Huge play for this young man,
and hope we see a lot more of this to come.

Speaker 3 (01:42:26):
That made the score twenty four to ten. It was
stay that way going into halftime.

Speaker 2 (01:42:29):
The Hawks get the football, we're hoping they go on
to drive and put points on the board.

Speaker 3 (01:42:33):
They go three and out. Cardinals get the football, they
go three and out.

Speaker 2 (01:42:36):
Hawks get the football ten plays, forty five yards, making
the score twenty seven to ten. They kick a field goal,
and now that Cardinals gotta put points on the board,
they do exactly that.

Speaker 3 (01:42:45):
Twelve plays seventy yards.

Speaker 2 (01:42:46):
Kylin Murray founds James Fine, James connor Ford two our touchdown.

Speaker 5 (01:42:50):
Yeah, they're gonna spread it out.

Speaker 4 (01:42:51):
Yeah, And they said mcgrid why to the far side
jobs on him one on one, a slot to the
near side, Connor playfake, he gets the shovel pass inside
and he scored.

Speaker 5 (01:43:03):
And that's one. That's a that's a really.

Speaker 4 (01:43:05):
Great call by Arizona and a lot of eye candy
for the Seahawks. And the shovel pass underneath goes to Connor.
He scores from two yards out. They're gonna go for
two points here, the two point conversion as the score
stands twenty seven to sixteen.

Speaker 7 (01:43:23):
Well, eye candy to some maybe beer, certain beers, distractions
for others. Point is, they had a shovel play that
was really well designed and fulled the Seahawks very well executed.
You see these as they've been running these for thirty
forty years. That's actually one of the better design plays
as he was untouched.

Speaker 3 (01:43:44):
That made the score twenty seven to eight. Team.

Speaker 2 (01:43:47):
The Hawks will go three and out on their next
two possessions of Cardinals will miss a field goal. Then
the Seahawks would make a field goal field goal, stretching
it out to thirty to eighteen. And when you needed
a big play to end the game, Ray Sewn Jenkins
remind you he's still out there.

Speaker 5 (01:44:01):
A third out of five. Here comes the blitz by
the Seahawks.

Speaker 4 (01:44:05):
Murray barely season spoon missisan, but Jenkins doesn't. Mike McDonald's
dialing one up. A flag comes in late, but I
don't think it's gonna mean anything in the Seahawks defense
can now celebrate. The clock kicks down. That's it all, zeros.
It's gonna end on a sack.

Speaker 24 (01:44:27):
The thing I love about this call is that the
Seahawks decided to take control of this situation and dictate
to the offense what was gonna happen, and they were
able to do it. Both of the blitzers were able
to get into the backfield to impact the throw, and
then obviously Jenkins got the sack.

Speaker 2 (01:44:43):
Jenkins making plays out there, stealing the deal. Hawks whim
thirty to eighteen. Today's game recap is brought to you
by michaels Chu Cansino, Bigger, better, the best in the Northwest.
When we come back, we'll give you our unsung hero
who needs some love.

Speaker 3 (01:44:57):
We'll let you know. That's next thing.

Speaker 2 (01:44:59):
Home for the Seahawks four seventeen and kyrad Is Radio
ninety seven three FM.

Speaker 23 (01:45:02):
This this Hawk Talk postgame a joint presentation of Cairo
News Radio ninety seven to three FM and Seattle Sports.

Speaker 2 (01:45:12):
Welcome back to Hawk Talk on Michael Bamas with Ray Roberts,
Brian Walshes, and Paul Moyer. We're just sharing stories about
blindside his back in the day when you can really
light somebody up.

Speaker 3 (01:45:22):
Those days are over.

Speaker 31 (01:45:22):
You're gonna get fine for even saying that. I know, right,
you can't even think it. It's a curse words now crazy.
There was a block that lock it through today. He
even throw the block. He just kind of jumped in
front of the guy and threw his arms out. That's
what we gotta do these days. So, yeah, the game
is different, but they're trying to make it safer. Moyer,
are they I think they are safer for it for

(01:45:44):
certain positions. That's for shure.

Speaker 10 (01:45:45):
No.

Speaker 7 (01:45:46):
Look there, college is the one that's probably the worst.
You know, you guys watched the game Saturday. I guess
that was yesterday. He gets Arizona State. When the guy
hits the quarterback, quarterback just drop down just enough where
caught him around the chin.

Speaker 8 (01:46:01):
It was a really good you know ten twenty years ago.
I mean, you go, great hit.

Speaker 3 (01:46:06):
I don't have a problem with.

Speaker 7 (01:46:07):
It being a penalty. You're trying to change behavior. You
kick him out of the game. I go, it's kind
of extreme. You suspend him for the next game for
playing football. It's just there's just in life, there's just
things that are called common sense. Just be common sense.
You don't have to go over the top and they are.

Speaker 2 (01:46:26):
Yeah, it's getting crazy out there. You're welcome, kids. We
took all those hits, so y'all could be be safe
out there so you can all make more money.

Speaker 3 (01:46:34):
All right, Time for the unsung hero.

Speaker 2 (01:46:36):
I think there's several options here, man, But you guys
are such great analysts. You probably already mentioned the names
that you're gonna mention for the unsung hero. So let's
see who you got, Big Ray.

Speaker 24 (01:46:47):
You know, this is like maybe the unsung of the unsung,
and only because we've been waiting to see the dude,
and that's Kenny McIntosh.

Speaker 12 (01:46:57):
You know today.

Speaker 24 (01:46:58):
You know he had seven carries for thirty eight yards.
He averaged almost five and a half yards have carried.
His longest was sixteen yards. He also had two targets
and two catches for seven yards in the passing game.
But it was just good to see him out there.
This dude is like, there's so much that we were
expecting out of him when he came. When he got here,
and then he didn't play much his rookie year or
not at all his rookie year, and then this year

(01:47:20):
it seemed like he was going to have an opportunities
and then he just wasn't out there for whatever reason.
So it was kind of really good to see him
out there today showing that he can be an effective
runner in this run game and that he can have
a role on the offense. So didn't do a ton
of things that contributed to the to the win today,
but just to see him out there and being able
to show to the Seahawks like, hey man, like you

(01:47:41):
can depend on me, I can do some things.

Speaker 3 (01:47:43):
I'm selecting him as my unsung hero.

Speaker 10 (01:47:45):
I like it.

Speaker 6 (01:47:46):
I like it be weezy my unsung hero. Today. Had
one tackle that is his statlet, that's unsung that ends
two years.

Speaker 18 (01:47:54):
The thing he felt he made his presence fell and
that's Derek Hall number fifty eight, and he drew three
holding penalty. But other than that, it was so the
interception to Kobe Bryant, he forced Kyler Murray to step
up in that pocket and throw a very aaron ball.
He had to get rid of it. He kept getting
around that edge. He's dipping his shoulder, He's quick around
that edge. There was a third and two later in

(01:48:15):
the game and he did the exact same thing. It
actually the drive that they missed the field goal. The
Cardinals missed the field goal. Derek Hall was coming around
the edge, forced Kyler Murray to step up and then
he threw the ball out of the back of the
end zone and forced him to kick a field goal.
And that was a big third and two stop and
they actually missing it. So he made his presence felt
in other ways than the stat sheet.

Speaker 7 (01:48:36):
All right, that's that, and you know it's funny. One
tackle and he did have a presence today. Yeah, and
there's no question that's a good one. I'm gonna go
with Tyree Knight. He led the team and tackles with twelve.
He led the team with passes defense today with two.
So he's not just a guy who can stop the run,

(01:48:58):
and he really has stepped up. And then you know again,
to be a part of the passing game is so important.
He had a big hit. I don't know if it
was in the third or fourth quarter, big big hit.

Speaker 8 (01:49:09):
So and he's just come on.

Speaker 7 (01:49:10):
I mean, he's just so important to what has gone
on with his defense, you know him and Ernest Jones.
By the way, Ernest Jones, I finally saw him, mister tackle.

Speaker 3 (01:49:18):
I saw the first one.

Speaker 7 (01:49:20):
Yeah and so but yeah, that's my unsung hero or
most impactful person non MVP Slash.

Speaker 8 (01:49:27):
That's something's like here, I'm going.

Speaker 3 (01:49:31):
I'm going with spoon Man.

Speaker 2 (01:49:33):
Still didn't have interception, no passes defended. But he's like
that the the cloud of gnats that you that you
run through a ride through on your bike when you're
you know, summertime, you're riding and you go through just
a cloud of gnats. It's always around bothering you and
talking to you too. And I just love the energy
that he brings to the table. So I'm going with Spoon.
He had seven tackles today, one TfL. He's put together

(01:49:55):
quietly a good season. We haven't had any interceptions from him,
but I think he's playing some good ball, especially lately.

Speaker 3 (01:50:00):
So I'm going with Spoon.

Speaker 8 (01:50:02):
It's a good one.

Speaker 7 (01:50:02):
You know, I'm right underneath Spoon's you know, Leonard Williams.
You got out quiet night. Oh he had seven tackles. Oh,
he had two tackles for lost. Oh he had a
pass defense.

Speaker 3 (01:50:14):
He set the barcel high froms up.

Speaker 8 (01:50:15):
I mean, it is crazy, what a year he's having.

Speaker 6 (01:50:18):
Hey, Bom, you know what I appreciate about you.

Speaker 18 (01:50:20):
You might have the best real life comparisons to certain
things like a cloud of gnats.

Speaker 10 (01:50:24):
That's what.

Speaker 23 (01:50:26):
I need.

Speaker 6 (01:50:27):
A reel of everything that you said. This is like
dis in life and you just it's really good.

Speaker 17 (01:50:31):
Man.

Speaker 6 (01:50:31):
I'm always impressed. I always want to hear.

Speaker 3 (01:50:35):
The thing I love about with.

Speaker 24 (01:50:36):
The spoone to is he just seems like he's moving
at like warp speed and everyone else is just moving
at regularsly like that one pass out to the flat
and he just came out of nowhere, outran the other
two guys and made the tackle for for New York game.
The dude just he can you know, even on the
last Arizona game, I think it was when the pick
six that that Kobe had was at Arizona. No, that

(01:50:57):
was it was Arizona yea where he like forced the
bat throat, huh, got up, made part of the block
and then turned to the sideline and told him they
were too short to get a penalty before we got
into the zone. This dude is he moves at a
different pace than everyone else.

Speaker 8 (01:51:12):
You know what he He moves like a sea of nats.

Speaker 5 (01:51:14):
He's like.

Speaker 3 (01:51:17):
If nats. Yeah, Paul Moyer said at first, all right,
well we come back. We'll give you our final thoughts.

Speaker 2 (01:51:22):
That's next on your home for the Seahawks, Soulesports seven
ten and Kyra new His radio ninety seven three FM.

Speaker 23 (01:51:27):
This Hawk Talk postgame, a joint presentation of Cairo News
Radio ninety seven to three FM and Seattle Sports.

Speaker 2 (01:51:36):
Seahawks went on the roll of thirty to eighteen, being
in the Arizona Cardinals and proving to eight and five
first in the NFC West.

Speaker 3 (01:51:44):
Big Ray, you hit us with some stats man, what
you got for us?

Speaker 24 (01:51:47):
Yeah, it was just Brady Henderson had pullsted that zach Sharbon.
They had ninety one yards after contact today and obviously
that fifty one yard run is a big part of that.
But that was the most buyer running back in the
league I think for the year. And then and for
the second week in the row, Gino has been at
the lowest UH percent play pressures of the year. So

(01:52:09):
last week was the lowest and then this week was
lower than that. So, uh, two weeks in the road
has been good pass protection, he's been getting the ball out, uh,
you know, been able to make plays, not putting the
ball in harm's way, that whole nine. So things are
trending in a good and to a good place, you know,
with all of that coming into play with how well
the offensive line played the last you know, the last
week or so, so some good things could be around

(01:52:30):
the corner for the Seahawks.

Speaker 3 (01:52:32):
So Tyler Maya, that's what it is.

Speaker 8 (01:52:35):
Why isn't he the unsung hero?

Speaker 3 (01:52:37):
Then today you should have picked them.

Speaker 8 (01:52:39):
I picked my eye for the right reason.

Speaker 3 (01:52:42):
We're always an unsung heros.

Speaker 18 (01:52:44):
If you told me week eight we're talking about this
right now, I would have said, you're crazy about about
what we're just the offensive line playing so well, and
we're talking about the defense how well they're playing, stopping the.

Speaker 6 (01:52:55):
Run, all this things. But then what what wait, what
what do you mean? What what team are you watching?
But here we are, we are difference what five weeks makes?

Speaker 3 (01:53:02):
Look at us, look at look at us, look at us?
Now what movies that we thought we'd be here.

Speaker 8 (01:53:07):
Look at it, not me. I'm gonna find it now,
driving us all night.

Speaker 3 (01:53:12):
I just look at the Packers before we get up
out of here.

Speaker 10 (01:53:15):
Man.

Speaker 2 (01:53:15):
The Packers lost to the Lions thirty four to thirty one.
But I mean, we know that they're a capable team.
The Packers have a good run game. As b Wall
pointed out in the first hour, they got Jordan Love
who has had some turnover issues, but we know that
he's more than capable. This is in Big Ray pointed
out that there's a gritty team, So the Hawks are

(01:53:38):
starting to look gritty to me too, though, Big Ray,
I think they got some.

Speaker 3 (01:53:40):
Grit to him.

Speaker 24 (01:53:41):
Yeah, absolutely, I think they're starting to find some answers.
And like I said, like the way Big Cat is
just kind of like, you know, since his press commerson
around what was going wrong with the defense, it seemed
like he just kind of found a way to make
everything work for him in the defense, and then it
seems like that has impacted things. And obviously having the
two new line backers in there. But uh, you know,

(01:54:01):
Green Bay is a team that you know is you know,
I think Junior Love will I mean not Junior Love,
but uh, you forget us firs.

Speaker 6 (01:54:08):
We're going to do that all week, Jordan Love.

Speaker 21 (01:54:11):
I think he will.

Speaker 24 (01:54:12):
He'll give you opportunities to to to intercept the ball.
He has eleven inceptions, so you got to imagine there
hasn't been more that were dropped or just bad, bad throws.
But I think the thing you have to do is
when the Seattle's offense has to control the time of possession,
they keep them off the field, and then when you
finish drives, they have to finish with points hopefully touchdowns

(01:54:33):
over field goals, because the the green Bay Packers have
shown that they can fight themselves back into the game
and then it then it becomes a you know, dog
fight for the for the last two minutes of the
game to kind of either secure the win or.

Speaker 3 (01:54:44):
Get to win.

Speaker 24 (01:54:45):
So it's going to be a tough, a tough game
for the Seahawks here at home. Hopefully the fans show
up and don't give out the ticket, don't sell your
tickets to the Green Bay Packer fans that travel really
well and make it hard on them that way too.

Speaker 7 (01:54:56):
Yeah, look to me, if offense wi we get or defense,
whet we get? Stop their rush. I mean we got
to flat out say, okay, Jordan Love, you gotta beat
us and throw it a you know, forty fifty times.
It's he does throw a lot of interceptions. He's got
eleven and eleven games. I think that's the key. You
go look at their first down, passing first downs and
rushing first down. They guys, I think almost as many

(01:55:18):
rushing first downs as passing first downs. So that's what
they want to do. They do some intricate stuff. So
I'm really excited for this game. We're playing. Well, we
should be excited to bring in the Packers here. Here's
what I don't like. Listen up, twelves. Listen up, do
not sell those tickets. Do not sell those tickets to
the Packer fan. They come out in a forest. It

(01:55:39):
will be like we were in Arizona today. They are
going to get that lower Bowl, so you better come
with it. It's going to be a battle.

Speaker 8 (01:55:47):
I don't like this.

Speaker 7 (01:55:48):
That's one thing that's just changed over the last few years.
It is what it is because of the way you
can get the secondary market tickets. But be prepared, man,
it's going to be a battle. It's not going to
be just a normal home home field advantage.

Speaker 18 (01:56:00):
You know what the combined record is of the Packers
losses to the teams the teams that the Packers have
lost to the combined record, they've lost four games this year.
They've lost the Lions, the Eagles, and the Vikings forty
six and four.

Speaker 3 (01:56:14):
Goodness.

Speaker 18 (01:56:15):
That shows the Packers. They've they've had a tough little
schedule playing in that in that conference over there. There
are two losses of the Lions, one to the Vikings,
and they've also played the Eagles, who are one of
the best in their conference at eleven and two.

Speaker 6 (01:56:28):
So they this is a huge test.

Speaker 8 (01:56:31):
You're win the nine and five Seahawks as.

Speaker 18 (01:56:34):
What I'm talking about. That But that's what I'm getting
at here, That's what I'm getting at. They're gonna double
their lost total. Uh more than double.

Speaker 12 (01:56:42):
So there we go.

Speaker 6 (01:56:42):
But yeah, stop the run. As simple as it sounds.

Speaker 7 (01:56:46):
There plus nine, we're still minus well we are minus
four going into today, right and so where we plus
two today, they were plus two, So we're minus two.
That's such a big one. We know that stat So
that's another one. We just cannot lose that battle.

Speaker 6 (01:57:01):
I feel like we got to start taking these stats
after week eight.

Speaker 18 (01:57:03):
Now I feel like it's a different team, So reset,
let's see how we've been since week eight, then go
from there, because it's it's just fun to watch this
is this is a great battle. It's gonna be so
fun to watch this game. And we'll have playoff complications
and might be a little preview of the first round
of the playoffs as well.
