NFC West Roundtable | NFL Week 2 Recap 

Brandon is the man. His understanding of football really comes to light when you put him in a group of his peers. Proud to have him representing the hawks and setting everyone straight on Geno

The new Seahawks guy....IS the smartest guy in the room....Go Hawks!!!!!!!!

Thank you for having Brandon on. Very knowledgeable

Geno is playing incredible ball. Not sure what these clowns are watching. Geno makes better decisions, better arm and is better than Brock Purdy.

The Geno disrespect is actually delusional. He is sitting behind the WORST OL and had 0 turnover worthy plays vs a great defense.

Brandon is THE MAN. Speaks facts not feelings.

Jessy and Brandon are the only ones that know what’s going on 😂😂

Brandon is the only one who actually present arguments and gives evidence. Feels like the rest just talk out their neck

These guys with the Rams and Cards are really bad at analytics. Geno has had subpar pass protection his entire stint with Seattle. Yet, he still performed well most of the time. Nothing has changed. The O line is terrible, can't run the ball and can't pass protect half the time, yet Geno is still performing and winning games. Had the most game winning drives of any QB last year and is still doing it this season. Against the Pats, all 44 of his passes were on target. Not a single miss on his part. Last week he scrambled out of pressure over 35 yards for a rushing TD, outrunning the entire Denver D. With a good O line, Geno and the O will tear up the league.

I was literally going to comment on the last video that yall needed to get this guy! Brandon is very knowledgeable, love the move.

Brandon said what all hawk fans were thinking 😂

Hawks nest! Least he backs up his arguments

These are the stats for nfc west QBs since 2022 in no particular order take what you would like from them 55 TD, 20 INT, 8,402 passing yards, 539 Rushing uards, 69.3% completion percentage 34 TD, 12 INT, 4595 Passing yards, 778 Rushing yards, 68.4% completion percentage 36 TD, 20 INT, 6,585 passing yards, 74 rushing yards, 66.6% completion percentage 48 TD, 16 INT, 6,204 passing yards, 180 rushing yards 69.1% completion percentage Geno Kyler Stafford Purdy

Brandon great addition ➕

Geno being ranked 18 in the league is a laughable take. He's currently ranked #2 on pff with the 31st ranked O-Line

Hawks Nest!

These was a wonderful episode. Well put together. Host asked great questions and was funny. Guests were knowledgeable and persuasive. Keep it up. Go Hawks.

thank you for brandon, i like norb but brandon knows his stuff

The moderator for this show was awesome.

Seahawk guy is the adult in the room

As a hawks fan i respect Jessy’s take he is knowledgeable and love Brandon, that Jake guy is delusional surprised to see rams have fans. Cards guy is just a fan with less football knowledge.

Brandon is a masterclass rep for the Seahawks

Love the hawks nest! Keep up the good work Brando

LOL. Geno just had one of the best games by a QB in years. nOt ImPrEsSeD wItH gEnO cards and rams aren't not good at this

AZ and Jake just don’t know football and is very “feelings over facts if it’s not my team”. Jessie somewhat understands I just think he has a high standard of QB play. Brandon is the only one that comes with facts to the show Geno Smith has been top 10 in multiple important advanced metrics with a bottom 2 OL but because he’s not 25 years old he doesn’t get the benefit of the doubt Geno smith is the measuring stick of your football knowledge lol

Brando! You're a great addition to the show! Go Hawks!

Brandon and Pumpkin are 2 and 0😊😊😊😊😊😊

Man this show would be lost without Brandon

Subbed up because of Brando joining the team, and the great takes, info, and energy you guys bring to the table!! Go Hawks

Norb being gone is good, Brandon is the man, now can you please replace Jake with someone who actually understand what QB play is? His Geno takes are legit embarrassing to the show.

Can’t wait for Geno to prove the haters wrong…

Whats funny to me about the Geno hate, and this point comes from a friend who is a Ravens fan, everyone says Geno won’t win a Super Bowl, look at how many current “good qbs have not won a Super Bowl. Lamar Jackson and he’s been mvp of the league. The Super Bowl point needs to be laid to rest and actually listen to what Brandon is saying statistically he’s been fantastic. We’ll see if it holds up, but all Geno can do is play the games ahead of him.

Calling for Geno to be out by week 5? We can tell the casuals when they talk, anyone who’s anyone knew Geno wasn’t the problem. The defense was. Shame on you

Thanks! GO HAWKS! Please make this as big as possible this is what the NFC WEST needs let the best team WIN!

Brandon is a dawg, Go HAWKS!!!

I'm sorry but this just has to said. Brandon is head and neck above these other guys. Like why would you even have them, they clearly don't know ball.

AYEEE BRANDON CAIN WHAT!! The GOAT. Keep him around

Brandon Cane in tha house !! LFG !!!

Brock Purdy was handed an all star O line and receiving and rushing weapons handed on a silver platter. Not to mention high caliber coaches. Let him play half his reps pressured, hit, and sacked and sitting on his *ss with a D lineman footprint on his chest like Geno with no Kittle, Aiyuk, Mcaffery, and Debo and see what he does then!

Go Hawks

i love how oblivious the nfc west is to Genos jump this year. its awesome

Geno will have the last laugh.

This is cool having all NFC West guys together! Go Hawks!

Jake may have given the dumbest take I have ever heard. Everything he criticized geno for he has ALREADY DONE. This is a qb that lead the lead in 4th quarter comebacks. Not to mention all this hype for Kyler Murray…. He’s not even a top 5 dual threat qb. He has never even passed for over 4k yards once in this league. What has HE DONE.

I’m going to go out on a limb and say none of the other 3 have really watched geno’s film

Not a huge nick wright fan. Go look at today's mount mahomes QB ranking. Geno is now top 10. Go watch the First Take.

I've watched every single different Seahawks podcast/RU-vid channel out there, and Brandon Cain is the absolute best at combining a ton of football knowledge with an engaging and digestable presentation style! Huge addition to the show!

Jake, hello? You can't run the ball with a bad run blocking O line. You can't pass down the field being pressured and sacked half the time. You can't run play action with an inconsistent running game. Yet, Geno did it since he has started in Seattle.

Lets Go Brandon!! Glad to have you!

Rams clown with the low effort bait...benching Geno 😂😂

Seahawks rule

Give credit when credit is due. Geno is better than what everyone thinks and the seahawks are never ever given what other teams in the west are given.

bro it’s time to make the switch and keep Brandon on here 😂

As a cards fan, I will not stand for geno hate. Geno and Kyler are currently the best qbs in the division

GO 12 Seahawks

Brandon and Jess are cool the rest of yall dont know too much. You're going off what you know instead of what it is

Are these fools serious. Brandon you are far too knowledgeable to deal with those idiots. 😑

Brandon hit him with straight facts thank you my guy cause there’s nothing worse than hearing the commentary of uninformed supposedly football knowledgeable people who give their opinion without any numbers behind it. Gino Smith over the last 2 1/4 year that he’s been the starting quarterback for the Seattle Seahawks has been very good as good as anyone in this division.

A lot of NFL fans just will never admit that Geno has become a good QB. He was bad on The Jets just like every QB in their franchise’s history. He’s been good on The Seahawks. Since taking over in 2022 Geno Smith is top 10 in damn near every passing statistic.

Go hawks!

H nest in the house.

Bunch of proud boys vs an educated man in Brandon. GOHAWKS 💚💙💙💚

These other guys are absolute dopes compared to Brandon.

Hawks are about to take all of the nfc west opps lunch money this season! The Bully is back yall! Go Hawks!

I have never watched the round table until this week so let me ask, before Brandon from the Hawk's Nest came on did your all just get together for a "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" circle jerk or did you actually have debates and discussions! I'm sorry, I really am, that may have been taken literally and I don't mean it to hurt people’s emotions. Twenty years of construction makes me a little rough around the edges and I don't mean to step on peoples fragile fucking feelings, damn it I did it again. Apologies. So, Geno is what you all want to harp on? Let me just say, don't speak negatively about someone that you have never actually watched (with genuine intent) because you are going to come off sounding like an idiot. Like Jake Ellenbogen did when he tried to explain why he didn't really care for Geno. I'm not calling Jake an idiot, I'm saying whether he was caught off guard by the question or not, it sounded like a politician trying to explain videos of his fingers getting stuck inside the babysitter's backside. I am also not saying anything negative about the panel at all, I think all the gentlemen are intelligent really sharp dudes accept Jesse, just kidding I am a big fan of LSS great content. Not that anyone is going to actually read any of this so I'm just going to keep going. It is difficult to really judge what Geno is or what he could be and even though Mr. Ellenbogen dove headfirst into that trap of a question while taking a selfie of himself doing it. I don't blame him or anyone else having a negative feeling toward GS, and I love my brother from another mother, Brandon, but I can't cosign him being a top 10 even with all the pieces put together yet, YET. Reason being, no quarterback just falls into a situation that, I mean Brock Purdy did but that's the outlier, and just look how much 49er fans have their heads up his ass for basically just not sucking (Garoppolo). I believe Geno can make/is making lemonade from lemons and I hope he can make lemon meringue pie like Brandon is suggesting. Has he done it, no, can he do it, I'd like to think so but for now it is more hope. Oh, and the sophomoric "mid" comments are invalid until you can come up with (picks up thesaurus) actual tangible substantial concrete information to back the statement. Otherwise Shhhhhush. If you have come this far, I love you whether you agree or disagree or say I'm an idiot, stay cool. Go Hawks!

Brandon I am so sorry, please get out, it’s clear you’re the only one who actually does any research and the rest of these dudes just go off of homer vibes. You are too good for this.

Just know that I suffered through listening to the rest of these guys just to listen to Brandon… 😑 And I’ll do it again next week

Go hawks 💙💚

I was COMPLETELY out on the rams this year. I thought last year was the last gasp for that iteration of the team. But to be completely transparent, my take on the rams was just vibes. I just had a feeling that last year was a bit flukey and not a building block type of year. You can’t trade first round picks for years and years to win a Super Bowl and not have those chickens come home to roost.

BRANDON!!!!!!!

Great showing boys! Will be back to watch

The hawks nest 💯💯💯💯💯🔥🔥

It just goes to show how ridiculous some football fans may have zero idea about what they’re talking about

There is zero chance these guys watched Geno playing.

Brandon is literally a football historian and it’s not just football he is also very knowledgeable about baseball and basketball

The Rams Offense was gutted. But don’t forget their defense is intact and that’s what the cardinals blew up

Brandon looks like the only serious analyst here. Step up your game or stop doing this series.

lol these comments are dominated by the hawks

Bills are much better off without Diggs and his ego. Allen can find his receivers no matter who they are. He has protection from that O line.

I’m guessing the cardinals dude wears the glasses because he’s blind to QB stats. If you can’t see, have somebody read them to you poor soul.

Jake was the guy that thought that the Rams will win the superbowl this year lol

Jake trying to throw a shot at my 12s Brandon keep it professional when the hawks meet the Cards and scorch they ass tell Jake to EAD😂😂😂😂

Rams fans feeling it without Donald

remove the cardinals fan, he already removed his brain

Cooper Kupp elevates any QB he plays with, GTFOH.

Jake still hating on the Lions lol. Just accept the L bro

Hype brandonnnnn

Jake and AZ don’t know football which makes since. It is the rams and it is the cardinals lol

Cardinals guy wins one game vs a devastated rams defense and throws on the shades while trying to act cocky 😂. Know your place.

It’s crazy how you are hustling making yourselves sound like you really have no clue about football. You don’t have to think Geno is an elite QB but to act as if he’s a backup is just so damn stupid

Why is the cardinal rep so annoying

STOP. Dak! This guy. They too dumb for me y'all 😂 im out. 🏃🏼‍➡️BRANDON!!

I take geno over kirk, dak, burrow, purdy,

Jake, you're such a homer! So annoying. Your offense didn't give up 41 pts. Calling 13 wins and living in delusion!! Couldn't see that losing Donald and trading Jones were huge hits!! You're the only annoying guy on the panel.

If the Rams lose to the 49ers why would you not consider trading Stafford? Throw in Cooper Kupp too. Imagine the haul of draft picks. Not too mention like $80-$90mil of cap space each of the next 2 years. It would be a 1 year rebuild and possibly the next great Rams team. - Cards fan

Feel sorry for the Rams. 9ers are going to come out aggressively to get ahead early. Could end up in a blow out.

So Rams and Niners gotta have key injuries to there starters so thar Seattle and Arizona can have a shot this year lol 😆 😂.

1:02:51 what Jake is saying here about geno is the exact same thing you could say about purdy but purdy gets a pass it doesn’t make sense to me

If the Rams go 3-6 I'm not sure they catch up to the rest of the wild card race. Yes they did it last year, but not exactly an easy road.

Stafford has now, what Geno had last year, look at him Brock Purdy loses his left tackle, look what happened to him Those two have the same or better skill position talent as Geno has and had, both with better OCs
