The Seattle Seahawks’ Biggest X-Factor Is…

Intro [Music] could a big year BEC coming for Boyer MAF in his third year in the National Football League we will discuss that possibility and more here on this edition of Seattle Seahawks today powered by Chad Sports Tyler Jones here with you thanks for joining us before we dive in and tell you all about Boer we want to show some love to Boyer MAF if you want him to have a big season and to be the ex- factor for the Seattle seah hooks in 2024 like the video who knows he may be watching his family his friends we want to make our voices heard loud and clear that we believe in Boer that we're rooting him on and we think that he's going to be a badass here in 2024 like the video we'll get started with today's show on this edition of Seattle Seahawks today I'm going to tell you why I believe Boer will be the key to the Seahawk success in 2024 we've seen the Seahawks have invested a lot in this defense and with this new defensive scheme coming off a very strong second year in the NFL I think Boer is going to be in position to be among one of the best Edge rushers in all of football that he's still got one more big step BoMaf ahead of him Boer was a second round pick in 2022 out of Minnesota last season led the Seahawks in sacks with nine and it was a record setting season for Bo MAF as well as he set the franchise record for most consecutive games with a sack with seven straight in 20123 and his numbers greatly improved from his rookie campaign as a rookie he had three total sacks three tackles for losses and 41 tackles last year his numbers went up in every category 52 tackles nine tackles for loss nine sacks one force fumble and six pass breakups despite setting that s franchise record though of seven straight games with a sack his season came with several Peaks and valleys throughout 2023 although he had that stretch the Seahawks found themselves with somebody that was inconsistent in uh some parts of the Season his numbers according to PFF was really good in pass rush 77.8 his run defense grade was 61.3 the C hooks are hoping that improves as they put in a greater effort to stop the run this year and his overall was a 73.9 in 779 overall snaps last season MAF had a really strong second season with the Seahawks I thought he took some tremendous strides last season but I still think there's another step for him to go to reach his full potential and this could be the year for him to do so the key for boy MAF and we'll let you tell him let you hear from him himself here in just a moment the key for boy MAF is every single down not taking plays off not disappearing but winning every down which has been a big point of emphasis for Mike McDonald with this Seahawks defense here in 2024 that they want to make every single Play Count Bo had this to say recently on his goals for 2024 there's a lot of things that happen pre- snap that can give you tells and things that you can see beforehand one of the things especially from last year I noticed there were plays that I felt I left on the table and that's going to be the key not leaving those plays on the table to go all out every time and to be aware when those situations arise do believe in boy MAF Do You Believe In BoMaf I'm all in I'll explain more here in a moment but what I hear from you guys type B for believe D for don't weigh in let us know sews today brings you the best coverage that you won't find anywhere else as we're bringing you daily news and rumors we'll have watch parties for every game this season including Saturday night when the seah hwks take on the Cleveland Browns you will not want to miss it we're currently at 54,4 and3 subscribers quickly approaching 55,000 Subs I would love to find a way to get there before kickoff on Saturday night for the latest happenings in your Seattle Seahawks all season long you ain't alive you ain't subscribed subscribe to the channel now youtube.com/ Seahawks TV all right I'm going to lay out two vastly different scenarios for Boyer MAF let's start with the Positive the best case scenario for boy MAF this season is he breaks Michael Sinclair's single season sack record with 17 plus sacks that would be a sack every single game obviously when Sinclair broke the record they didn't play 17 games uh but nonetheless it would be a huge accomplishment and that would be the best situation for him not impossible it's a high goal but that would be the absolute best case and on top of that it would set him up for a massive payday as he's looking for that extension for many years to come now let's go to the negative side the worst case scenario for Boe MAF would be if the Seahawks like draymont Jones more than him which is certainly possible and Draymond Jones plays at a high level and kind of kicks Boer to the curve with to the curb with uh uchin and wosu there and he's like the number three or four option when it comes to the edge rusher position and you see his production drop from what it was last year after having a great sophomore season to take steps back which nobody wants by any means and then that would hurt his case to get paid that money that he's looking for in his next contract those are the two wide scenarios more than likely it's not going to be one of these two things but I think that's kind of the the best and worst of what we're looking at for buer now this is where Mike McDonald comes in the new head coach for the Seattle Seahawks with Mike's previous track record this is the right coach for Boer MAF and this defense Mike McDonald with what he's done working with the likes of Justin Houston and J Clowney Kyle vanoi Justin matab some of these very good pass rushers over the years this is the right coach to maximize Boyer's potential and get the absolute most out of him and credit where credits due to Boyer he is taking the time to really study this defense and to get to know specifically what Mike McDonald is looking to do boer's got a really good football IQ he's a student of the game and he's made a point to look into specifically what Mike McDonald has in mind and what he has in mind for him for his plan for 2024 boy said this on Mike McDonald I see how it's flowing in the essence of it he's really one of those people like X's and O's and he understands it really well he understands football really well and he understands how to utilize people how to move people that's one thing I'm coming to learn I see where it comes from and how it works and you think about this we've talked a lot on this program that this SE looks defensive scheme that might McDonald is doing is very complicated it is primarily a 34 defense but you will see some uh you know 4-3 as well uh the 3 four primarily 43 elements as well mixing matching and all this but the base three4 side of things fits boy MAF perfectly for what the Seahawks want to accomplish here now the sock record question do you think Can BoMaf Break The Record that's possible can Boer break this single season franchise record can he have 17 plus sacks this season weigh in let us know why for yes in for no chat me that comment section if you think he can do it or not one of the guys that boy is going to be working with is boy is byon Murphy this year and we're excited to see these two play together we got byon Murphy's Jersey on sale now at chatsports.com Murphy he'll wear the number 91 so just add a nine to that one uh we have men's and women's options the home Jersey the away jersey the uh throwback alternate go see for yourself and free shipping is available as well chatsports.com Murphy the link is in the comments and the description of today's video get your Byron Murphy jerseys today now let's talk about goals and what Boyer could potentially accomplish here taking a little bit of a step further specifically when it comes to Boer outside of the windlock Lo column obviously that's the big thing on the minds of every player on this Seahawks team is to try to win as many games you can go as far in the playoffs as you can that's the number one goal we're not overshadowing that but when it comes to Boer specifically there's no reason I think that he shouldn't be a pro bowler in 2024 that's realistically the next step for him is all those numbers go up and he's in that conversation where he's getting a free trip to Hawaii or Vegas or wherever playing that Pro Bowl that flag football game that he's a part of and boy to is credit I like what I've heard from him this offseason he's got some high standards he's got some high goals that he has for himself what he has in mind for this upcoming season and Beyond boy said this to me I expect myself whenever there's a chance to make a play it should be my Play It's not to say that in a selfish way obviously there's situations and things happen but I hold myself to a high standard my whole life I've done that my family holds me to a high standard everyone around me understands that and they just know that's what I expect of myself and also expect that of other people around me and it was interesting listening to Boye talk about that one of the things that he mentioned was playing under PJ FL at Minnesota PJ he's one of my favorite coaches in college football and PJ has always been a motivator in getting the most out of his guys and pushing his players to reach above and beyond and that was one thing boy talked about was that he learned from PJ Fleck was go go Skyhigh to push yourself to the very limit to accomplish things you didn't think you can accomplish and he's taking on that same mentality here with the Seattle Seahawks the folks at fantasy pros put together this stat projection for Boyer MAF and I think they're selling him short a bit they are projecting that he'll have 41 tackles 7.7 sacks uh he'll get a F recovery probably not going to get an interception this season but I got to tell you I I think it's going to be much much better than that that he is being undersold of what he could potentially do I think it's going to be a big year what is your captain level at boy MAF I'm all in I think he can to have a big season scale of for me 1 through 10 I got to go with about 8.5 is my confidence level in boy I think he's going to be one of the best players in this defense weigh in let us know what you think if you enjoyed Today's show you know what to do like the video show some love for boy MAF we're rooting him on he's going to have a big year in 2024 we can't wait to tell it all for you right here on Seattle Seahawks today I'm Tyler Jones thanks for joining us we'll see you next time [Music]
