So that would be four and seven out to Seattle to play Sam Darnold and the Seattle

0:15.1

Seahawks.

0:17.4

I am a believer in Seattle.

0:20.6

And I, you know, I don't know if I'm ready to call them like a Super Bowl contender, but, you know, they get themselves in a good position. They find a way to win that division.

0:30.5

It's going to be tough with the Rams and the Niners there as well. But that, I just believe in what they're doing. I think Samarnold's playing really well jsn is just a stud man

0:43.1

that guy has just been fantastic for them that offense is pretty good and their defense is playing

0:48.6

better now in recent weeks as well um i think this is going to be a tough one for the Vikings, and I'm going to give Seattle

0:55.2

the win. Four and eight, don't blame you for that. I think Seattle's a really, really good team,

1:00.8

too. Their offensive line has some issues, but they do have a good running game overall, and

the Vikings against top receivers have had no chance.

1:13.1

1:20.4

And so good.

1:23.3

And when they play these guys, the question is just who's going to cover them?

1:27.4

I mean, they haven't had any chance at all of covering these players. And that's where, you know, Stefan Gilmore, I think maybe didn't get enough credit last year. I'm not saying he was unbelievable, but just being savvy, being smart, making a few plays, the end of the game against the Jets, a game winning interception. And Shaq Griffin probably didn't get enough credit either because when you see guys who can't

1:44.6

cover one-on-one and Brian Flores brought this up, he said, well, you know, we've been in position

1:48.5

and this is legitimately true.

1:50.2

They've been in position and just haven't made a play on the ball because the receiver is good.

1:54.6

And you're like, well, that is what happens when you have a backup player for his entire career that you signed to be your starting

outside corner.
