🚨BREAKING: Seahawks Just Got BAD NEWS For Multiple Key Starters

🚨BREAKING: Seahawks Just Got BAD NEWS For Multiple Key Starters

[Music] Welcome into Seahawks Today. I am your host, Will Ortner, and unfortunately, we have some very bad injury news for your Seattle Seahawks to two key players. Uh, one on the defense and then obviously one on the offensive side as well. If you’re not subscribed, this is why you subscribe to the channel because the minute that there is breaking news, I’m going to come in and film a video that you do not want to miss. As soon as there’s late breaking news for your Seattle Seahawks, we’re going to get it out to you and we’re going to get you the most uh accurate information as quickly as possible here on the channel. So, the big breaking story came from ESPN’s Adam Shfter. Julian Love has officially gone onto the IR for your Seattle Seahawks. Now, because Love is going to the IR, that means the Seahawks did have an open roster spot. Jerick Reed II is now on your 53man roster as that backup safety in that strong safety position replacement. You’re going to see a lot more of Tyoka, right? Uh he’s been starting for the last little bit with the Seahawks while Julian Love’s been out the last couple of weeks with his hamstring injury and he’s played fairly well in that role. He’s come out and um early on obviously had a lot of struggles against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers especially a lot of miscommunication from Tai not being in the right spots necessarily but ever since that game I feel he’s really grown into his role in that strong safety spot. He’s moving quickly. He’s making decisions and he’s doing it at a high rate of speed, right? He’s not missing as many tackles as he was early on. I mean, the Jaguars game, there’s still a bad miss tackle in there, but for the most part, it does feel like Taio is moving forward in this role and he’s becoming a key piece of this defense. That all being said, you still want Julian Love back as soon as possible for your Seattle Seahawks. Now, I will say that with hamstring injuries, they can linger. Obviously, that is what Love is dealing with. Early on in this week, he was back and he was on track to practice and play for your team. He goes out, runs one practice, tweaks his hamstring, and now we’re in this spot. I do feel like Mike McDonald and the rest of the front office and and staff there in Seattle did make the right decision, though, and saying, “Hey, you know what? We’ve been trying to get Julian Love back. We’ve been trying to rush him back or we thought we could get him back sooner than it looks like. Let’s just let him rest. Let’s let that hamstring heal. Let’s get our captain of the secondary some time to heal up and be able to be ready to go by December January when you’re making a run in crucial regular season games, but more importantly get ready for the playoffs because at this point Dan Orlosski is right. He said that you’re a lock for the playoffs. I completely agree. This defense has looked good without Julian Love. So imagine what they’re going to look like when they’re at 100% health. Let Love take this time. If it’s four weeks that you need off, bud, take four weeks off. That’s what you have to do anyways because of the IR. But shoot, if it ends up needing to be five games, six games, whatever you need, take the time, rest, recover, get ready to go because we need you for that last little push, that late stretch. right now in my eyes the best thing the best possible option for him is to just let that body heal up and recover uh as quickly as possible. Now I do want to make sure that I mention this as well. Obviously Nikki Manwari has been playing that big nickel position and he’s been playing it so much so that they’re starting to list him as a cornerback now at PFF. He’s also an option to get more reps at that strong safety position. And frankly, I think you could see him expand his horizons as a Seahawk safety in that role because of the return of Devin Witherspoon. He’s obviously going to play back in this game. It’s going to be his first game action back in quite some time. Well, that’s your true number one nickel. I also think that Darien Kendrick and the way that he’s played this year allows himself to get some more reps at that nickel spot because he played very well early on in the season with the injury to love that frees up Nicki Manor to move back into that strong safety spot. And I think with his abilities to play downhill under the run, his abilities to cover tight ends just as well as slot wide receivers, there’s just a lot of different movements that you can make with Nick Manori. So that could be a possible replacement. uh as well for Julian Love. So don’t be shocked if you see a lot more of Nicki Menori at a high safety position which you really haven’t seen a whole lot this year just because of what the Seahawks have needed out of him and what they’ve asked of him. Taioka is going to be the main guy and hopefully he continues to grow in the role just like I was talking about earlier. But I will say that I think you’re going to see a lot of movement with Devin Witherspoon being back and that would allow Nicki Menuri to get some more reps and some rise over in that strong safety position. A position that we all know he can excel in and eventually that is kind of the goal for him to take over that spot. I’m going to talking to you about the other injury that’s going on on the offensive side of the football. But before I do, I need to let you know that that this episode is brought to you by Price Picks. The hard-hitting football action is even better with prize picks.

It’s good to be right. So, the other big injury news of the day really hasn’t officially come down, but reading through the tea leaves, I don’t think we’re going to see Cooper Cup in action for your Seattle Seahawks on Sunday. Obviously, he came up on the injury report kind of in the middle of the week. On Tuesday, yeah, he’s listed as an injured player, but it was, hey, he’s he’s not a full participant yet, right? Like, he he’s still able to go. He was limited. And as the week has progressed, it looks like the Seahawks have taken him more and more back uh off of that injured list and not getting as much time. Cody White and Ricky White were activated, so they are going to be running wide receiver for you guys. Now, if you’re calling up both Cody White and Ricky White, that leads me to believe that Cooper Cup, who’s listed as questionable right now, isn’t going to be ready to go out there and play for your team. You don’t call up both. Now, obviously Dariq Young, he’s already been listed as out for this game. So, maybe you call up Cody White, maybe you call up Ricky White, you call up one of the wide receivers as a potential, hey, there’s a bunch of injury issues now, we can throw one of these guys in. But if you’re calling up both, to me, that makes me think that you might not have Cooper Cup. Now, I will say this, I am not as worried as I might normally be if you weren’t going to have Cooper Cup in a Sunday game or a Monday game. Why is that? Well, because Cooper Cup has clearly become your crucial third down catcher. What does that mean? When you are in a third and medium, a third and long, and it is, you know, right outside of field goal range, so you need to get this first down or else you’re going to have to punt or it’s near a twominute drive. It always feels like this season Cooper Cup has found a way to get open and made the big catch. When it hasn’t been Jackson Smith and Jigba, which is rare because it’s pretty much always been Jackson Smith and Jigba, Cooper Cup has come up huge for you. Now, against the Commanders, they struggle defensively stopping tight ends, and you’ve seen the emergence this year of AJ Barner into this crucial low red zone uh target for Sam Darnold. I think this is an opportunity for Barner to expand his role. He can now become that crucial third down catch guy. When it’s third and medium, you got to have it. You got to find someone with sure hands. Now’s the time for AJ Barner to expand his role. He’s going up against a defense that struggles to guard the tight ends. Bobby Wagner is a great linebacker. I don’t have to explain that to anybody. First ballot, sure thing. Hall of Famer. He’s not as great as he has been in the past in stopping tight ends from catching the football. As soon as they catch it, he gets them down, right? He gets tackles, but those tight ends are still making those plays. Frankie Luvu, same kind of deal. So, if AJ Barner is able to take a step up in this game, I don’t think that you’re going to miss any of that production that you’re getting from Cooper Cup. Now, what’s most important is that you get him back ASAP. He is a crucial player in this offense, and while he isn’t what he once was, he is still a really good player. Seattle’s going to miss him on Sunday, but I do think that this is a great opportunity for AJ Barner to expand his role in this offense and a great opportunity for AJ Barner to show that he is continuing to grow in this offense. So, obviously, you got bad news on the defensive side with Julian Love heading to the IR and with Cooper Cup. Look, they haven’t officially said he’s not going to play. He’s still listed as questionable. I’m reading through the tea leaves. I don’t think he’s going to have any uh action this Sunday. I don’t know that he’ll be active. If he is, I don’t know that you’re going to see a lot of production out of him. Yes, there’s bad injury news, but I do think that this team is built to withstand both of these injuries in the short term and in the long term. And what’s most important, both of your key players in Cup and Julian Love getting back and getting back to you healthfully, being able to go on a deep run because this is a playoff team. And if you want to reach all the heights that we think are possible as Seahawk fans, you need love and you need Cooper Cup at 100% health. Thank you so much for tuning in today.
