00:02 - Kenneth Walker III, 55 and a half rushing yards,
00:08 over or under, what says you?
00:10 - I'm so sorry to all the live infections around.
00:15 - That was like the worst Monty Python character I ever heard.
00:17 I don't know what that is.
00:19 But I'd like to hear more of it.
00:21 - Of course you would.
00:22 - Kenneth Walker III, as you so eloquently put it.
00:27 Walker, 55 and a half rushing yards over or under.
00:30 Look, the whole thing with Walker
00:32 is always the same for me,
00:32 which is it's not a question of effort level.
00:35 It's not a question of Ken Walker being a solid running back.
00:38 It's a question of the durability.
00:40 Can he withstand the action?
00:42 Now, this matchup today is one where you gotta figure
00:46 they're gonna use him.
00:48 Last week against Pittsburgh, he had 53 yards rushing.
00:50 A week before that, 54 yards rushing.
00:52 And this week against Arizona,
00:53 we're looking at the 55 mark.
00:56 So this number is so spot on, it kind of scares me.
00:58 I don't love it, to be honest with you.
01:00 I will lean towards the over,
01:02 because in my mind, Arizona has showed you
01:05 they can be competitive in games.
01:07 And being competitive in games means
01:08 you're gonna have to keep pushing back and forth.
01:11 And I think that's a good thing potentially
01:12 for Ken Walker to get more touches in this game.
01:14 So I like this over,
01:16 but it is kind of thread in the needle for me.
01:18 I don't love it, to be honest with you.
01:20 I think this is right on the money.
01:22 I'm also fascinated to hear what Derek Brown has to say
01:24 about next year with the Seattle backfield.
01:26 If Ken Walker's done enough to stave off
01:29 maybe Charbonnet in year two.
01:31 Is it his backfield?
01:32 Is it a split again?
01:33 I don't know what you think about
01:34 what you saw out of Walker this year.
01:36 You saw a lot of good.
01:37 You also saw a lot of injured.
01:39 And again, that's two years in a row of that.
01:40 So I don't know how that plays with Pete Carroll.
01:42 So what do you think, D?
01:43 You wanna go over or under the 55 and a half?
01:45 I'm gonna go over, but it is close.
01:47 - I'll take the over,
01:50 and I would have more trepidation with it
01:52 if Seattle wasn't gonna go all out.
01:54 And they don't have something to play for.
01:56 And with that firmly being the case,
01:58 and we've seen Arizona,
01:59 Arizona's kind of like the new commanders.
02:01 They are pushing teams weekly, weekly,
02:05 and pushing them to the brink of winning
02:07 and heck, they beat the Eagles.
02:09 So Seattle, we know is going all out
02:11 to try to make the playoffs here.
02:12 And Kenneth Walker, like, yes, the shoulder is not 100%,
02:16 but he hasn't been 100% for a number of weeks.
02:18 So just leaning on efficiency,
02:21 and he's still breaking tackles at a top shelf clip.
02:25 So given all of that, I will take the over.
02:27 Now next year's backfield,
02:29 I think we can see what I kind of forecast
02:31 over this backfield this year,
02:33 if we get health out of both of these guys
02:34 and Charbonnet plays a little bit better.
02:37 This could be the new Cleveland Browns backfield,
02:39 where you have Kenneth Walker playing the chub role,
02:41 taking the early downs and being the early down hammer.
02:45 And then Charbonnet is brought in for passing downs
02:47 and some of the red zone work.
