LAST
LAST BITE. I HAVE TO GET ANOTHER JOB TO PAY FOR HALLOWEEN CANDY.
>> OK.
>> WE HAVE TO TRANSITION NOW TO
WHAT I THINK MAY BE A NEW DAY.
FIRST WHICH IS THAT WE'RE GOING
TO DO A HOT ZONE BUT WITHOUT
ANY GUESTS IT'S JUST YOU AND
ME.
WELL LET'S DO IT.
>> WHAT ABOUT THE FIRSTS?
I KNOW WELL AND HONESTLY YOU'RE
DOING ALL THE HEAVY LIFTING.
>> THIS ONE BECAUSE I'M JUST
GONNA ASK YOU SOME QUESTIONS
AND I WILL NOT ACCORDINGLY
ALTHOUGH I DID.
YOU KNOW, I LOVE THE HAWKS AND
I DID ENJOY WATCHING THIS GAME
BUT I FEEL LIKE THERE ARE A
COUPLE OF THINGS THAT WE HAVE
TO DISCUSS STARTING WITH TYLER
LOCKETT AND HIS TOUCHDOWNS.
I FEEL LIKE HIM AND RUSS AT
THIS POINT NEED LIKE ONE
OF THOSE CELEBRITY BLENDED
NAMES LIKE THERE'S BRANGELINA.
SHOULD THEY BE LIKE TUSSLE OR
REISLER LOVE THEIR THEY ARE
LIKE FIRING ON ALL CYLINDERS
RIGHT NOW.
THEY REALLY ARE AND THEY'VE
BEEN DOING THIS, YOU KNOW, FOR
A FEW YEARS NOW.
>> YOU KNOW, WANTED TO GO
TOGETHER BUT RIGHT NOW THEY'RE
JUST ON THE SAME PAGE.
LIKE YOU SAID, THEY'VE BEEN OFF
TO A TEAR THIS SEASON.
YESTERDAY LOCKETT HAD ONE
OF HIS BEST DAYS AS A SEAHAWK
ON NINETY SOME YARDS CATCHING
SOME CLUTCH CATCHES CAME UP KEY
FOR RUSS IN SOME KEY SITUATIONS
KEY THIRD DOWNS AND YOU KNOW,
LIKE YOU SAID, THEY SHOULD BE A
THEY ITEM RIGHT NOW FOR SURE.
>> OKAY.
THE OTHER PERSON THAT WE HAVE
TO TALK ABOUT IS DKA METCALF.
YES.
HE HAD A MOMENT IN THE GAME
WHERE EVERY HAWKS FAN
SIMULTANEOUSLY FACED POND AND
THEN HE HAD REDEMPTION.
>> YEAH.
SO WHEN HE MADE THE PLAY EARLY
IN THE GAME IT WAS SIXTY TWO
YARD BOMB THROUGH THE AIR LIKE
ON A DIME.
HE BEAT HIS DEFENDER BY LIKE
FIVE YARDS STANDING IN THE WIDE
OPEN AND CAUGHT A BEAUTIFUL
PASS FROM RUSSELL WILSON A
CONTINUE TO TROT INTO THE END
ZONE AS IF HE HAD ALREADY
CROSSED THE LINE AND THE GUY
THAT WAS DEFENDING THEM JUST
CAME UP BEHIND AND TAPPED THE
BALL AWAY AND IT ENDED UP BEING
A TOUCHBACK.
THE SEAHAWKS DID NOT GET A SHAW
TOUCHDOWN AND IT WAS LIKE A
LITERALLY WENT ON SOCIAL MEDIA
AND I SAID THE BONEHEAD PLAY
OF THE NFL SEASON SO FAR HAS TO
BE DKA MADCAP AND IT WAS THAT
MATURITY.
>> WHAT DO YOU ATTRIBUTE THAT
TO?
I JUST THINK IT IS A MATURITY
THING WHICH IS REALLY ODD TO
SAY ABOUT D.K. METCALF BECAUSE
WE HAD ALWAYS ASSUMED THAT HE
WAS WISE BEYOND HIS YEARS.
HE WAS YOU KNOW, RUSSELL
WILSON'S KIND A LITTLE PROTEGE.
HE HAD WORKING WITH HIM SINCE
DAY ONE.
HE SEEMED VERY MATURE.
BEING A SECOND YEAR PLAYER AND
WE DIDN'T EXPECT THAT KIND
OF THING FROM METCALF.
YOU KNOW, HIS DAD PLAYED IN A
NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE BEFORE
AS WELL.
SO HIS DAD WAS PROBABLY LIKE
SON ACT LIKE HE'D BEEN THERE
BEFORE AND AND A SLIP UP AND I
DON'T KNOW WHETHER HE THOUGHT
HE WAS IN ALREADY OR WHETHER HE
WAS REALLY SHOWBOATING.
BUT AS YOU SAID, HE HAD SOME
REDEMPTION LATER ON IN THE GAME
AS THE SEAHAWKS CAME BACK ON
THEIR FINAL OFFENSIVE DRIVE,
RUSSELL WILSON STILL HAD THE
FAITH IN HIM TO PUT THE BALL IN
HIS HANDS AND HE CAME UP WITH
THE WINNING TOUCHDOWN.
SO AGAIN HE REDEEMED HIMSELF IN
THE SEAHAWKS CAME OUT WITH A
VICTORY.
I THINK THAT ALSO SAYS SO MUCH
ABOUT LEADERSHIP ON THAT TEAM,
WHETHER IT'S RUSS OR WHETHER
IT'S COACH CARROLL OR WHOEVER
MAKES THE PLAY CALL THAT THEY
WEREN'T GOING TO LET THAT
MISTAKE BY DKA.
>> SOMEHOW NEGATE HIM FOR THE
REST OF THE GAME.
THEY STILL HAD TRUST IN HIM.
>> YEAH, AND BY THE WAY, WHAT
RUSSELL WILSON SAID TO HIM ON
THE SIDELINE AFTER HE MADE THAT
PLAYS.
DON'T DO THAT AGAIN.
>> YOU KNOW HE'S NEVER GONNA.
RIGHT.
THAT'S IF THEY'RE EVER GOING TO
DO IT AGAIN.
>> RUSSELL WILSON TELLS YOU
SOMETHING LIKE.
DON'T EVER DO THAT AGAIN.
YOU DON'T EVER DO THAT AGAIN.
SO YEAH, I THINK IT'S A LESSON
LEARNED AND I STILL HAD THE
FAITH AND I'M STILL HE'S AN
ABSOLUTE PHYSICAL PHENOMENON.
SO OF COURSE WHEN YOU GOT A GUY
LIKE THAT TO GO TO UTILITES YET
THE GUY THAT GOT REALLY LIKE
SURPRISINGLY SHUT DOWN WAS
EZEKIEL ELLIOTT.
>> YES.
YES.
>> WHICH IS UNFORTUNATE FOR ME.
AND ONCE HERE'S THE TRAVESTY
ABOUT BEING A SEAHAWKS FAN AND
A FANTASY FOOTBALL PLAYER, I'M
ALWAYS ROOTING FOR THE
SEAHAWKS.
BUT EZEKIEL ELLIOTT IS MY
STARTING RUNNING BACK FANTASY
TEAM.
SO HERE I AM DURING THE GAME
I'M LIKE CHEER FOR EZEKIEL BUT
CHEER HIM UP AND SAY, YOU KNOW,
HE GOT.
HE WAS HE GOT HELD 30 OR YARDS
HIS THIRD LOWEST PRODUCTION
DAY.
AND AS A PROFESSIONAL FOOTBALL
PLAYER, THE SEAHAWKS DID AN
INCREDIBLE JOB OF TAKING HIM
OUT OF THE GAME PLAN WHICH IS A
GREAT DEAL BECAUSE HE'S SECURE.
ELLIOT IS ONE OF THE GREATEST
RUNNING BACKS OF THIS
GENERATION.
SEAHAWKS DEFENSIVE FRONT CAME
UP BIG YESTERDAY KEEPING HIM TO
VERY LIMITED YARDAGE.
>> HOW DID YOU FINISH IN
FANTASY THIS WEEK THEN?
TERRIBLE, TERRIBLE LOSS.
>> IT WAS MY FIRST LOSS OF THE
SEASON.
OH MAN.
AND IT WAS ALL BECAUSE
OF EZEKIEL ELLIOTT AND YOU
KNOW, MY OTHER RUNNING BACK WAS
CHRIS CARSON WAS THE SEAT AT
THE SEAHAWKS STARTING RUNNING
BACK.
HE DIDN'T HAVE A SUPER
PRODUCTIVE DAY BUT THE SEAHAWKS
CAME OUT WITH A VICTORY.
THEY HAD GOOD YARDAGE FROM
EVERYBODY ELSE.
SO I WAS THE THING THAT DOES
BUMMED ME OUT IS JAMAL ADAMS
AND HIS INJURY.
WHAT IS THAT LOOKING LIKE RIGHT
NOW?
AND WHAT DO WE LOOK LIKE
WITHOUT HIM?
WELL, I'M SURE THE WORD IS OUT
RIGHT NOW THAT HE HAS A STRING
GROWING SO I'M NOT SURE HOW
LONG THAT'S GOING TO BE AS FAR
AS RECOVERY I KNOW HE'S GONNA
BE GETTING IN GET SOME.
>> ALL WEEK LONG TO TAKE CARE
OF THAT BECAUSE THEY DEFINITELY
NEED HIM ON THE FIELD.
HE IS A FIRECRACKER.
HE HAS PROVED HIMSELF FOR THE
FIRST TWO GAMES OF THE SEASON
TO BE THE COURSE STAR THAT
SEAHAWKS DEFENSE.
SO THEY WANT TO GET HIM OUT
THERE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
BUT THEY HAD SOME GUYS
YESTERDAY THAT REALLY STEPPED
UP TO THE PLATE.
THEY REACTIVATED KEEM GRIFFIN
FROM THE PRACTICE SQUAD WHO
THEY HAD RELEASED EARLIER IN
THE SEASON AND THEY'RE GETTING
SOME YOUNG GUYS STEP FILL THAT
THAT THAT VOID THAT JAMAL ADAMS
LEFT AT THE END OF THE GAME
YESTERDAY.
YOU'D LIKE TO SEE IT.
THAT'S ONE OF THE THINGS THAT
I'VE ALWAYS LOVED ABOUT THE
SEAHAWKS.
RIGHT.
SEAHAWKS. RIGHT. IT'S LIKE A FIFTH ROUND DRAFT
PICK WHO HAS THE HERO PLAY
OF THE GAME.
IT JUST GIVES YOU ONE MORE
REASON TO ROOT FOR GUYS.
ABSOLUTELY.
AND ON SUNDAY THAT'S EXACTLY
WHAT HAPPENED.
THEY HAD TWO GUYS THAT STEPPED
UP THAT WERE ACTUALLY ON THE
PRACTICE SQUAD LAST WEEK AND
THEY WERE ACTIVATED FOR THE
GAME AND I'M TALKING ABOUT THE
QUEEN GRIFFIN KIEHL'S BROTHER
AND A GUY BY THE NAME OF RYAN
O'NEAL WHO WAS ALSO ON THE
PRACTICE WHO CAME UP WITH THE
FINAL INTERCEPTION OF THE GAME.
SO THE YOUNG GUYS THAT WERE
DEACTIVATED WERE OBVIOUSLY ABLE
TO KEEP
