Hey Dan, just wanted to let you know that for some reason this episode isn’t available on my podcast app yet (Pocketcasts) and I had to come here to find it. Can’t wait to listen!

Great show dan, for monthly subscribers are you still uploading to Spotify so we don’t get all the ads, for some reason this video had loads

Completely agree with all points you made here tonight. Always good stuff brother!

Having spent half my life in AZ, first time seeing Seahawks at Sundevil stadium vs the Cards, many other games..the Cardinals dont have many loyal fans. Most people who live in Phoenix are from somewhere else, or "snowbirds" In the 90's the Cowboys basically had home games in Phoenix. Seems not much has changed.

Dan, I think you were sitting just behind my brother who lives there! His daughter bought him the tix for Christmas daddy daughter date! They took a selfie and if you were wearing a Navy/Home BWags jersey...has to be you!

I just wanted to say I started watching you this year at 2nd game and you totally grab me every time!! I think your extremely good at this.

I really loved seeing Saotoa Laumea running with Charbonnet! I don't remember ever seeing a linebacker do that - what a wonderful development! The O line was awesome in that game! And pooh to PFF!

My sense is they haven’t been able to get creative with things yet because of personnel limitations and/or not being able to execute some things during practice. So to prevent themselves from shooting themselves in the foot they’ve been limiting some options. With the intent of not losing a game because of their own mistakes. I feel like Schneider or McDonald wouldn’t hire Grubb if he didn’t have the ability to be creative from different sets. The offense probably isn’t executing the different looks well enough to run in games.

In our last 4 games I’m guessing we go 2-2, one of those wins coming against the Rams. We win the division, win the wildcard and lose in the divisional round. Coach Mike comes in as runner up for COTY

Whenever you defend the tackles, how it takes a while for them to settle into their new life... I always nod and say to my monitor, "Remember a dude named Bosworth?" I hated that dude. Okie Sooner badmouthing the Huskies who they then lost to.(Orange Bowl, if mem serves) POINT: If the fans hate your guts, you won't last long.

Remember what it was like in 2013. They're feeling great after beating St Louis, then the Cardinals come in on a Seahawks home game and beat us. Two weeks later, it's SF and their park and they beat us. Venue didn't matter. They had an attitude problem. Perhaps deservingly, but it was getting out of hand. POINT: what must their minds be filled with when they played the last game of the season against, of course, the Rams? They were 11-1 after the Saints win. Then BAM, at home, a loss. They go 23-0 against NY Giants. Then come back and it's a shocking loss to SF. (Which is, IMO, what was up Sherman's backside so much thanks to a lot of crosstalking pre-game nonsense) Now they're in the same situation: Several wins, feeling cocky. I hope they have the wherewithall to recognize the danger regarding arrogance.

We should be called the 13th man because Mike is on the field with them in the headsets

Great show. Regarding how every aspect clicked. Was watching interviews from major sports pundits and such. I can't remember which one it was who spilled the tea on this turnaround of the 'Hawks. Presumably, Mike Mac told them to feel that every game is a playoff game. Caveat Emptor though. Something similar happened with the Mariners way back in the 90s when they hit the division title game. Everything was going okay until it didn't, and then suddenly they were back to acting like a double-A team. I really, really really hope the Seahawks don't pull the same shit.

Very unlikely, but could you imagine a Seahawks/Steelers SB rematch with Russ playing QB for the Steelers? If the Hawks can win the West, ya just never know what could happen.

Really like Jones IV, a stud (fun to think he might have learned a lot from Wagz that one season together), and Knight is a pleasant prize, but for all their good individual play I would say their greater value is they allow the front of the D to be more confident, free, to not be concerned about their backup on a missed tackle. Same for the back end, not having to play as much for covering up in the mid range of the field. Same for the O line. Laumea is doing well enough to allow Lucas to focus more on shaking off rust and working back to play strength. The two of them are working together very well. Dan, you positive commentary on the counter plays is good observation. There's a YT channel, All 22 Film where he does a how show on the counters and how important and well run they were, it's your kind of analysis. My overarching point is, a couple or so player changes can do the most important thing.....improve synergy of the entire squad. It improves play and allows the coaches to sharpen their planning and calling.

I’ve heard the idea of turning Christian Haynes into a center next year because of his lack of strength. Centers don’t need to be as strong as guards

Charb should start. Walker has had his chance. Go Hawks

Most of the 12’s at the game live down here. I moved here in 2001. Cardinals fans have been beat down for 20 years. They have their diehard crazies, but they are fair weather fans for the most part. I started going to Seahawks/Cardinals games at Sun Devil stadium in 03/04, and have only missed 1 since (other than Covid BS season). I’ve sat in that club section around the 30 or 40 most of the time, but if you go in that lower bowl section, it’s a different experience! I was in the club section this time and was blown away at all the empty seats in that stadium. But the food is terrible and ridiculously overpriced.

They are unbeaten this season with Charbonnet starting. I like that he actually hits the hole that the play calls for. Although, K9 looks so much better 7 yards deep and Geno under center. I think they spend way too much time in the gun. The ability to run playaction from under center is when they look the best. Geno is good under center too.

Taoa might be our best o linemen

Best Seahawks channel on KZbin

Arizona's the Florida of the West. People from the north move there for the climate when they retire or because real estate is relatively cheaper.

Green Bay is really creative in their run game. Check it out.

Dickson was on fire.

❤ yo thoughtful analysis but U forgot to mention lucky charm, baby Jack Mac.😊 Have PFF put a drunk analyst on 12s games. Abe & Hall & Ernest played kuch better than those disrespecting grades. Seahawks D is ranked 2nd best in NFL since wk 9 beginning November as per Mina Kimes & Orlovsky & Swagu show Newest 12 baby Jack Mac brung a 3-headed run monster & good luck to 12s since his birth into HC MacDonalds family. 99% of pundits still writing off Geno & the boys (but Geno completed 80% of passes - 110 rating - No INTs - Behind the so called worst iOL in NFL). The new iOL trio of Laken T Olu O & Satao L seem to have a natural chemistry & move instinctively together as one unit. They smashed the rivals DL to help Zach Charbonet rumble to a 51 yr TD like Beast Mode. Give Geno a little more time by enforcing the run game & he will explode into 🔥 form like when he won CPoY award in2022. iOL Rookies Laumea & Olu Olu improve every week with experience & gave Geno his first clean pocket all year. They have about combined 4 starts (& by the P/Os they will have about 10 combined starts & also K9 & DK & all pro level RT big Abe will be fully fit to COOK). It was always going to time to settle into a groove as 12s have rookies at HC DC OC & OLC. Really hoping rookies DL Mike Morris & OL Jerrell can get well & play well soon as star vets DT Jarran Reed & Big Cat Leo & star RT Big Abe will need rotational rests to keep em healthy & fresh. Hoping injury prone DE Nwuso & DE Dre Jones can make an impact soon as they are expensive & have not done enough due to injuries. They should improve rapidly be fully ready to cook for the Packers game led by big cat who says he has never played this well or felt this healthy since he started praying with Pastor Tyler Locker, Geno & the hawk boys Lumen field is a field of nightmares for Packers & Vikings. They will not sleep well as they prepare to face Seahawks. Hope 49ers defeat Rams next as it looks like Kittle has caught 🔥 & the Rams have peaked too early as per the Maths Profs predictions. U want to peak in January not December. Feels like a Lions Vs Bills Superbowl this yr unless Geno & Mahomes explode after thier OLs heal up & they get key stars back & fit & on 🔥 like K9 Mafe Nwosu etc. 12s OL will keep getting better & Run game has become a 3 headed monster with lucky charm Jack Macs arrival & when K9 returns to battle with his run bruhs Zach C & Kenny Mac ( who ran for 176 yds combined vs Cards) Rookie star LBs Tyrice Knight & Derek Hall & new boss of LoB 2.0 Ernest Jones have made a huge difference to the D. Adjusted Pass Comp stats are greatly impoved & D is holding rivals to less than 16 pts per game in last 5 games. No teams scored more than 21 on the new Mike Mac D with LBs Knight Jones Hall starting in last 4 wins in a row. HoF coach says JSN is a hybrid of Largent & Jerry Rice. Top pundits Mark Sanchez, DJ Dan Jeremiah & the other Barber twin said "Spoon is a hybrid of his HoF twin Ronde Barber & HoF Darryl Green". If Geno & the boys keep praying the Hawks gonna explode into the SB. It's a miracle Geno has survived IR behind the so called worst in NFL iOL in the first half season. Poor all pro C Connors was playing the worst he has ever played at C when he was clearly very distressed by personal problems of a very serious nature. Hope he has an OK Xmas day. U know Big Cat, Geno & the boys love the under dog tag. Geno was voted the comeback player of the year for a reason. Geno is The Alpha of the 12s under dawg pack. Seahawks love to win on the road & have approx 90% win rate to prove it.

Re: charbonnet. Good point. He was getting bagged on for no reason in my opinion. Poor scheme and play calling. This team with a poor line needs to get the running back to the line of scrimmage as fast as possible and that's what we weren't doing enough of when he was "struggling"

You were in the Zone tonight Dan, the passion and free speech was just spilling out you and directly in a straight blast to us, your loyal fans,,, loved it,,,, love it. How fucking exciting dude, your moving people, that dangerous word is spinning in my heart “believe” I’m pretty certain there in an ample amount of gauze and burn cream in the medicine cabinet, what the hell.. Better to have loved and failed than never to have loved than died not knowing the difference👍🏻 North end Brian…. Again, great stuff tonight oh Danny boy🎼🎹🎸

There seems to be a "thing" happening to our good running backs... they get broken. Calvin Procise. Chris Carson, and now Kenneth Walker. I'm just a girl learning about football. Having said that, what I've noticed has nothing to do with football. I just know, I can only get so many miles on my Harley, before I have to stop, fill up the tank, check the oil, add a little 60 weight if needed, wipe the bugs off of my glasses and just let her breathe. Just because a guy is good at something, don't over use it. Let her breathe. We saw what happens if K-9 can't play. We tore them up! Oh was it fun to watch. Our D-line was in synch! Our offense looked better.I LOVE MY TEAM! GO SEAHAWKS 💚💙💚👍

Good point on JS, Dan. If a team with a completely new coaching staff on all fronts can achieve a winning record in its first season (at least that's what it looks like right now), then the GM must have done a good job putting players together. The defense is coming together, the O-Line looked solid for the first time. I wrote it before the Jets game, we need 4 out of 6 wins. Since then we're 2-0, the Bears look very beatable. If we win one of the two upcoming difficult games against the Packers or the Vikings, we'll win the division, I'm pretty sure. And maybe we'll see one of them back at LumenField soon ;)

What was the best of our running game? Charbonnet!💚💙👍

Been waiting on this all day

Yo sup yall

I hope you do a crossover with Brendon Nelson. I think that would be an interesting convo!

Greetings from the UK, I remember back in 88 we were playing the Browns in Cleveland and Marty Schottenheimer, ( RIP) didn't like a call and tries to influence the umpires. Upon seeing this Paul marched over to Marty points to the sideline and tells him to F Off. Classic, I still LOL every time I think about it. Go Hawks

We did it! That is so awesome that you got to see it in person. Can’t wait to see the show

Kam, Earl, Rich, Bobby, KJ, Cliff Bennerr, et al, fluke can't be replicated

In Mike we Trust 🤟🏻🫶🏻💙💚 new era, new vibe. F*** Glendale. 😂 Seahawks 30-21 Grubb gets his shit together. Finally.

Biggest game of the year coming up

🦆🦆

It's just awesome how EVERY SPORTS announcers, Podcaster, reporters and every NFL KZbin channel is TALKING ABOUT THE SEAHAWKS and the game tomorrow!! It's crazy. Are we going to miss K-9? We'll hell yes we are BUT Geno still has sooo many Bullets for his gun! DK, JSN, Tyler, Bobo, Charbonnet and more great running backs. When a Giant steps back, it allows the sun to shine on the smaller trees in the forest! The Seahawk is an Osprey! They are predators! They're a Raptor able to go beak to beak with eagles! Raptors eat song birds for lunch!🐦 GO Seahawks!!💚💙🦅

Perfect game for Geno to rack up those rushing years, as the Seahawks will once again look to max protect to help give Geno time. Though that means more DB’s vs pass catchers on the field, if Geno gets time like he did against the Jets due to the rb’s and te’s staying to help block, Geno could take off and get some positive yards, instead of forcing a ball in tight coverage or an incompletion.

The only thing with more stretch than duer jeans was the stretch to make that ad break…..nice 😂

Anybody who runs with the narrative that beating a team twice is hard shouldn’t …. the 49ers has beaten us twice , three years str8 so …. No worry here, all about execution

Lameaa has his pro techniques down, i.e. hip to hip double teams + planting secondary blocks on their backs! Sure rookie mistakes, but overall, he has the tools!

NO WORRIES, HAWKS "D's" GOT DIS. SPOON CAT LOVE COBY JAXON D.K. TYLER K9 GON KICK ASS AND TAKE NAMES

Is there a Reason why D K Metcalf has been Irrelevant Lately ??? He used to be Important, but these last 5 weeks - Disappeared, This guy said Nothing about this for 25 min

29-26 Hawks

Regarding your keys vs. focus on O line; there's a YT channel called Saturday morning that did a feature on Laumea and for the most part they were very positive. Likely some of that is "surprise" about a first start rookie. They paid particular attention to how well he worked hip to hip with Lucas on initial double team blocks and then switching off effectively. BTW, while watching that I also watched Olu and his weakness seemed to be in getting confused about his second block assignment when coming off the initial move. As far as a "clean game" penalty wise, Laumea was responsible for two of the five last week. If we can chalk those up to first game jitters, we may just have a much cleaner game this week, especially against a less stout D line. Edit: Hawk's Nest just posted up some good review footage on Laumea as well showing some other reps that were done well. PFF score is rediculous.....

Seahawks 34to 24

Go hawks
