Pepsi Rookie of the Year is real to me (regarding my Russell Wilson comment!)

[@MattyFBrown]

And it felt like a defensive victory, at least! I shall have more coffee next time

[@BiggoSuave]

This will open up more opportunities for Woolen as he’ll see more targets and feast as a result

[@MattyFBrown]

Good point!

[@ElSantoLuchador]

Woolen saw most of the targets that game.

[@ElSantoLuchador]

@@MattyFBrown Not really. Look at the targets in the game you're covering. They threw mostly on Woolen.

[@BiggoSuave]

@@ElSantoLuchador and he would’ve had an interception had Chase not pushed off

[@Theriver56]

Little Spoon out there killin' it

[@MattyFBrown]

You know Seattle has been spoiled with big corners when 5-foot-11 1/2 is described as “little” 😉

[@Theriver56]

@@MattyFBrown So true. I heard some teammates calling him Little Spoon and it was too funny. The way he accelerates, using his arms to change direction, wrapping people up despite weighing 50lbs less, so impressive.

[@babsthewreckingcrew4294]

Good analysis. Chase burrow is one of the best tests spoon will see, it’s obvious he can play in this league

[@dereksakakida5861]

Great breakdown as usual Matty! Super excited for Spoon’s play so far.

[@MattyFBrown]

Thanks Derek. What a game against the Cardinals too!

[@izakmoran3117]

Spoon is just electric. I cannot wait to see his career unfold!

[@amyholms5379]

Heard the Spoon has been signing autographs with DROY. He’s pushing for it for sure!!!!!

[@MattyFBrown]

I've seen that Amy!

[@ilikeme1234]

That first blitz was impressive on both sides. Spoon’s quick decision to block the pass instead of going for the hit and Burrows ability to get the ball out so quickly.

[@MattyFBrown]

Agreed!

[@chulang]

If spoon stays on a flat trajectory from here on out he wins it imo. I have a feeling he will get better as the season goes on as he’s already shown 1 month into live reps. He should walk away with it bc he makes high impact in the game at all 3 levels of the field which is rare for any defender let alone a rookie

[@mrmete]

This is gonna be fun (barring no injuries to our defense. @Matty F Brown remember the 3-1-7 look we had a few yrs back. Im just saying dont be surprised if we dont see some of that acttion with all of the Edge LBs n Adams/Witherspoon out there sheesh

[@MattyFBrown]

Yes yes yes. Love that thinking. You see how odd front passing down looks troubled the 49ers last night?

[@trader-matt]

Held chase to 3 or 5 yards with 2 pass breakups on 5 targets only allowed 1 catch. Chase was in alcatraz when spoon was guarding him

[@leoray1234]

As good as Spoon and Riq are, you can’t deny Big Play Tre. We are loaded at CB.

[@alexking2296]

love tre and julian loves attitude and style is also awesome, just hope they get there shit together with the 1-2 punch for RB

[@MattyFBrown]

Indeed indeed. Tre deserved a breakdown too, really.

[@NBAHive]

YOU'RE BRITISH!?!? I've been following you on twitter for a while and had no idea

[@MattyFBrown]

welcome.

[@babsthewreckingcrew4294]

Only passes chase caught were in zone coverages

[@leelariviere555]

Has there been any indication his speed is vulnerable on outside 9s? Can he man the 9 on the outside in single high?

[@markcharles4178]

Thought RG3 won it over Russ in 2012

[@jefffoumal2864]

I believe he should win DROY but we'll see what other people think. Thanks for the podcast!!! Very informational. Go Hawks 🏈💙💚

[@MattyFBrown]

Build the momentum etc. etc. You're welcome Jeff!

[@2jyeti909]

He's looks better than sauce Gardner imo. All around ball player and not a one trick pony.

[@Nick7380]

Russell Wilson didn't win ROY that was RG3

[@eXoticon]

Hey Matty, is there a way to leave a message or a comment when tipping via Stripe?

[@MattyFBrown]

That would be good wouldn't it? Doesn't seem like it though. If you comment on a youtube vid, I read all the comments and will see any reference etc. Thanks very much Henry.

[@kanagawa85]

Illinois!!

[@MattyFBrown]

Can confirm

[@Joshuahcatron]

Jamar is not always open lol

[@SavedbyGrace7773]

You said Seattle's victory over the Bengals at 00:31 seconds lol

[@Aneeshtherave]

Well the defense won against bengals offense but Seattle’s offense didn’t deliver. I think that is what he meant or he could’ve accidentally said Seahawks won.

[@MattyFBrown]

I just needed coffee. But yes, it felt like a defensive victory for sure

[@Mattmusic11111111]

6 catches for 80 yds is being shut down 😂😂😂 shit that’s a career day for lots of guys.

[@Koalawashington]

You said he was key to the Seahawks victory over the Bengals...umm the Seahawks lost

[@Mattmusic11111111]

If you don’t even know the result of a game why are you doing analysis on these

[@MattyFBrown]

booooo

[@leelariviere555]

Russ didn't win ROY

[@Mattmusic11111111]

The bengals secondary was better period they got picks and won the game

[@Mattmusic11111111]

This dude needs to stick to soccer he doesn’t even know who won the game

[@MattyFBrown]

boooooo

[@babsthewreckingcrew4294]

Good analysis. Chase burrow is one of the best tests spoon will see, it’s obvious he can play in this league

[@MattyFBrown]

Thanks! I agree.
