• 0:27
  Speaker 1: in Santa Clara between the Seahawks and the forty nine
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: Ers for the division title, for the number one seed
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: or home field throughout the NFC playoffs.
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: It is here as we sit on the eve.
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: Chuck Powell, Bucky Jacobson, and Anders Hurst with you here
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: as we start.
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: Our number two on a football Friday.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: And before we get to Greg Bell, who'll join us
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: in two and a half minutes, let's first go over
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: your headlines. They are brought to you by Frost Brewed
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: Cores Light Choose Chill.
• 0:58
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: Top story Seahawks taking on.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: The forty nine Ers tomorrow night, five o'clock is the kickoff.
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: Everything it feels like in the world is at stake
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: in this game. You know, Ander's getting ready to have
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: a baby. If the Seahawks win, he gets to name
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: him Sam Oh.
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: If the forty nine Ers.
• 1:18
  Speaker 5: Win, though, he has to name Sala Sala Yeah, dame baby,
• 1:25
  Speaker 5: Yeah exactly, yeah, yeah, there is a soccer player named
• 1:28
  Speaker 5: Salo there.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: The other game on Saturday will be Carolina taking on
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: Tampa Bay kickoff, there is one thirty. It's not entirely
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: winner wins the division because Atlanta has mucked things up
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: a little bit for Tampa Bay. If Carolina wins tomorrow,
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: they won the division, they walk off as division champions.
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: If Tampa Bay wins, then Tampa Bay still needs help.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: Atlanta would have to lose to the Saints on Sunday
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: in order for Tampa to then win the division. So
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: it's not nearly as cut and dry as I think
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: they hoped it would be when they made the schedule
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: for week number eighteen. But you do have playoffs on
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: the line. Certainly Tampa Bay has to win in order
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: to get there, and so from that standpoint, it is
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: a playoff atmosphere that'll take place in Tampa, Florida. Charles Cross,
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: by the way, is out for the Seahawks. Josh Jones
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: is even questionable. We'll talk to Greg more about that
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: coming up here at seven o five. Also, Baltimore at
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: Pittsburgh Sunday night.
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: That is cut and dry.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: The winner gets into the playoffs as Division champs. Loser
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: is out and Lamar Jackson says, I cannot miss it.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: He is going to play one hundred percent guaranteed. According
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: to the Ravens Quarterback College Football. Yesterday, the quarterfinals of
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: the College football Playoff couple blowouts. He had Oregon twenty
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: three nothing over text Tech thirty eight to three. Indiana
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: crushed Alabama. They saved the best game for last, ole
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: Miss and Georgia an instant classic, and ole Miss wins
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: it thirty nine to thirty four. And so your final
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: four is now Miami versus ole Miss next Thursday, four
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: thirty and Oregon versus Indiana next Friday at four thirty.
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: The winners go on to the National Championship Game.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: And oh, by the way, if that's not enough, those
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: teams preparing for their two biggest games of the year.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: Potentially the portal opens today, that's right, So they got
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: to deal with that and it'll stay open until the
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: sixteenth of January. Cracking one over the Predators last night,
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: four to one. They won five out of their last
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: six games. They'll play again tonight at Vancouver against the Canucks.
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: Let's talk football. Let's talk shop with Greg Bell.
• 3:49

• 3:54
  Speaker 6: News with Greg Bell, brought to you by Copola Diamond

  Speaker 6: Collection Perseco Chris sparked with bright fruit flavors to make

  Speaker 6: Now with Punk Band News, here's Greg Bell with Chuck
• 4:10
  Speaker 6: and Bunt.

  Speaker 1: cool Diamond Prosecco.
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: Hey, nice, I did? Yeah I did not, But you.
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: Did not know?
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: Okay, say glad somebody did. Let's say Greg Bell did. Greg,
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: Happy New Year.
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: To you, Good morning, Happy New Year.
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Did you have a good time? Did you stay
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: up till midnight?
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: I stayed up till three am? Actually? Who? We were
• 4:40
  Speaker 4: at the Sea Monster in Wallingford seeing a Prince A
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: tribute with the cover band there. They have a great
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: house band. Anyone who's been there, and that's what I'm
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: talking about. It's a funk place and yeah, we had
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: a great time.
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: Let me tell you something.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: I know that Greg Bell has never done morning radio.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: He's still able to stay up till three o'clock.
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: Actually have done morning ready. In fact, I feel like
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: it do morning radio every day from July until about January.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: There's a difference between getting up and having a phone
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: call at seven o'clock and doing a show.
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: There, Greg, previous a place to think, cut up a
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: little bit earlier than you did.
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: I understand, all right, Well, yeah that was a previous life.
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: That's what I'm saying. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. I
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: couldn't do it right now.
• 5:26
  Speaker 7: This is my point. I couldn't stay until three o'clock ever,
• 5:30
  Speaker 7: in I have to have some something running through my
• 5:33
  Speaker 7: body to do it.
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: All right, Greg, let's get it going.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: Seahawks forty nine ers tomorrow night in Santa Clara. Give
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: us the latest on the left tackle situation. I mean,
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: we can read that Charles Cross is out, but what
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: does this mean for Josh Jones? What does this mean
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: for the offensive line?
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: Well, Josh Jones is trending toward playing now. He practiced
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: yesterday for the first time this week. Listen is questionable,
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: but he looked the very fact he was the field
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: yesterday the last full practice. I'm gonna like practice for
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: to get on the plane this afternoon. To Santa Clara,
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: but I think he's gonna play. We'll talk to Mike
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: McDonald this afternoon. They did bring up Amary Kite, the
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: undrafted rookie from Central Florida who has impressed them since
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: the spring. It signed him to the active roster from
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: the practice squad as an insurance contingency plan. But I'm
• 6:25
  Speaker 4: gonna think right now without how you talk to McDonald.
• 6:29
  Speaker 4: Reading the tea leaves at what I saw yesterday. I
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: think it's gonna be Josh Jones starting again, and they
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: like what they've seen them. As Klint Kubik said yesterday,
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: as we've been talking about, this is why they signed
• 6:39
  Speaker 4: him the two games that Jones has played for Cross
• 6:42
  Speaker 4: being injured. They like what they've seen from Josh Jones,
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: and it looks like perhaps crisis averted that Jones will
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: be able to start in place Across on Saturday night.
• 6:51
  Speaker 7: All right, Well that's I mean, it's not great news.
• 6:55
  Speaker 7: Everybody wants their first round dude a Cross out there,
• 6:58
  Speaker 7: But you're right, I mean, as long as both of
• 6:59
  Speaker 7: them out, Josh Jones just filled an ad, I'll stay
• 7:02
  Speaker 7: with the injury area. I mean, Rashid Shaheed missed some
• 7:06
  Speaker 7: time with that concussion.
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: Is he good to go? Well, yeah, he hasn't missed
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: any game time. Apparently he's not even on the injury list,
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: which means he was full go practice the last two
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: days and during the concussion protocol. If you're full going
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: practice both days and not even on the injury list
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: for the game, that means you must have passed all
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: five stages of the NFL's concussion protocol. This isn't just
• 7:31
  Speaker 4: a rushback job. We need him for this game. First
• 7:34
  Speaker 4: of all, Remember both teams are in the playoffs, so
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: there will actually be as good as big as this
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: game is tomorrow night. They are actually more important games
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: gonna come weeks to follow for each team. But the
• 7:45
  Speaker 4: Shaheed situation, the fact he's not even on the injury
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: report listenings he's passed all five stages of the NFL
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: concussion protocol, and a team doctor isn't the only one
• 7:53
  Speaker 4: that can do that. By rule, you have to have
• 7:55
  Speaker 4: an independent third party neurologist clear him as well. So
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: he's been cleared by at least two doctors, one of
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: them doesn't get paid by the Seahawks. That he can play.
• 8:06
  Speaker 4: That's a surprise. Most concussions in the NFL. I thought
• 8:10
  Speaker 4: that the average over this new concussion protocol time that
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: they've had for twelve years or so, it's a nine
• 8:15
  Speaker 4: day return to play, But every head injury is different.
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: He was smiling and very joking and looking like himself
• 8:21
  Speaker 4: yesterday after practice, and that's just potentially a big deal.
• 8:25
  Speaker 4: If he is healthy enough as he looks like he
• 8:27
  Speaker 4: is to play, He's a game breaker, a difference maker
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: and field position, somebody that can take the Niners coverage
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: off of Smith and Jigba and somebody they didn't have
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: the first time they played way back in September.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: Kobe Bryant, I'm assuming will not play. And then let's
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: also so we can wrap up the injury portion of
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: our conversation today, the forty nine ers injuries and how
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: they may or may not impact this game.
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I think from what I've gathered from San Francisco,
• 8:59
  Speaker 4: and I'm going to talk to some more people down there,
• 9:00
  Speaker 4: my buddy's down there today, it looks like Shanahan might
• 9:03
  Speaker 4: be a little bit gamesmanship with some of the questionables.
• 9:05
  Speaker 4: He's got Trent Williams with the hamstring questionable, He's got
• 9:09
  Speaker 4: up and style with concussion questionable, which suggests he hasn't
• 9:13
  Speaker 4: cleared through the protocol yet. Ricky Pisov, who's barely played
• 9:18
  Speaker 4: this season, questionable, So we'll see to be determined. They're
• 9:24
  Speaker 4: just not rolling them out yet. I think they're trying
• 9:26
  Speaker 4: to keep Mike McDonald guessing a little bit. Last anyone
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: saw Trent Williams Sunday night. He could barely walk on
• 9:33
  Speaker 4: that hamstring injury he got early in the game against
• 9:35
  Speaker 4: the Bears. We'll see on that, and I'm sure it'll
• 9:38
  Speaker 4: be wait till game time before they actually declare them
• 9:41
  Speaker 4: in are out. But suffice to say whether the side
• 9:46
  Speaker 4: of all those guys, the Niners are still a shove
• 9:48
  Speaker 4: of themselves on defense. No Fred Warner boss missed most
• 9:52
  Speaker 4: of the year. Those are two all pros right there,
• 9:55
  Speaker 4: and the Niners have the fewest sacks in the NFL.
• 9:59
  Speaker 4: That could be a bit big difference between Week one
• 10:01
  Speaker 4: and Week eighteen for the Seahawks offense. No pass rush.
• 10:04
  Speaker 4: The Maners have not gotten to any quarterback this year,
• 10:07
  Speaker 4: and that may give Donald time with Wayguard Smith and
• 10:10
  Speaker 4: Jigba for deep breaking routes that he likes to do.
• 10:13
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean the Fred Werner and Bosa were the
• 10:15
  Speaker 7: leading tacklers in that Week one, and Bosa I think
• 10:19
  Speaker 7: was the one that sacked Sam Donald caused that fumble that.
• 10:21
  Speaker 4: Just straight into the quarterback. Yes it was.
• 10:24
  Speaker 7: Yeah, So those guys being missing is going to help
• 10:27
  Speaker 7: as far as that part of the battle goes. When
• 10:29
  Speaker 7: it goes Shanahan versus McDonald. I mean, this is no
• 10:33
  Speaker 7: short sample size. You're in the final week of the
• 10:35
  Speaker 7: regular season. Their offense has been flying high against some
• 10:38
  Speaker 7: subpar stuff and the Seahawks defense has been performing.
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: Really well as well.
• 10:45
  Speaker 7: So who's got the advantage coming into this final one?
• 10:48
  Speaker 7: Their offense are our defense.
• 10:51
  Speaker 4: I think the Seahawks defense for one reason, Bucky nick
• 10:54
  Speaker 4: Emon worry and McDonald has something no other coach has
• 11:00
  Speaker 4: that can play all over the field and someone they
• 11:03
  Speaker 4: could actually put in man coverage, shadowing Christian McCaffrey. Some
• 11:07
  Speaker 4: of what makes McCaffrey so great, his athleticism so great,
• 11:11
  Speaker 4: is that teams don't think they can afford to cover
• 11:14
  Speaker 4: with their best cover guy, the most athletic cover guy. Well,
• 11:18
  Speaker 4: in Nicky Manworrey, they have like a co best cover
• 11:21
  Speaker 4: guy along with Devin Witherspoon, and because he's a running back,
• 11:26
  Speaker 4: and because he often comes out of the centers of formations,
• 11:29
  Speaker 4: they can devote Emon Worree to almost being a spy
• 11:33
  Speaker 4: on McCaffrey to take away his yards after the catch,
• 11:36
  Speaker 4: short tackles, guy goes down. There are very few in
• 11:39
  Speaker 4: the league that can do that, and there are very
• 11:42
  Speaker 4: few coaches that would say, I want to put my
• 11:43
  Speaker 4: best cover gun on a running back and leave Jan
• 11:46
  Speaker 4: Jennings and George Kittle and everybody else roaming free in
• 11:49
  Speaker 4: the middle of the defense. But Seattle can do that,
• 11:52
  Speaker 4: and that makes them unique in the league. I can
• 11:55
  Speaker 4: tell you. I can assure you that Nicky Manworrey was
• 11:57
  Speaker 4: a huge part of the Week one game plan defense
• 12:00
  Speaker 4: and he went out after four plays. And the fact
• 12:03
  Speaker 4: that he's healthy tomorrow night is the biggest difference in
• 12:07
  Speaker 4: this first matchup to the second one. It to me
• 12:10
  Speaker 4: spells advantage Seattle just in that regard against Christian mcavan. Now,
• 12:13
  Speaker 4: McCaffrey is an MVP all Pro. I mean, he's elite,
• 12:17
  Speaker 4: and so he's going to get some of his But
• 12:20
  Speaker 4: I'm just saying the Seahawks gematically and in personnel have
• 12:22
  Speaker 4: something nobody else in the league. As for McCaffrey.
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: Greg Bell is with US our Seahawks Insider, and of
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: course you can follow him at g bel Seattle on
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: X and that'll lead you to all sorts of coverage
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: of the Seahawks at Thenewstribune dot com, including more about
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: Sam Darnald and his turnover issue.
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: How are the.
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: Seahawks handling a topic that a lot of people are discussing,
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: How Sam handling it this week? How are his coaches
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: handling the idea of making sure Sam Donald doesn't turn
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: the ball over more than what is responsible?
• 13:02
  Speaker 4: Well, Chuck, yesterday, it was a noticeably looser, very joking
• 13:06
  Speaker 4: Sam Donald. I mean, he went out of his way
• 13:08
  Speaker 4: to joke with all this. He's not usually like that
• 13:10
  Speaker 4: quite as much. Here's joking about his hair being unruly.
• 13:13
  Speaker 4: He's joking about the lookalike the CBS found in the
• 13:16
  Speaker 4: stands and Charlotte staying Donald and how he wants to
• 13:19
  Speaker 4: meet him and maybe set an auograph for him. His
• 13:23
  Speaker 4: San Clemente High school football team's coming up on a
• 13:26
  Speaker 4: plane to the Bay Area. I don't know if it's
• 13:28
  Speaker 4: the coach, the whole players, or what, but I was
• 13:31
  Speaker 4: told and he said yeah. I asked, Hm, about that yesterday. Yeah,
• 13:33
  Speaker 4: I heard that too. I'm gonna have to text my
• 13:35
  Speaker 4: coach and find out who was all coming. So he's
• 13:38
  Speaker 4: in really good spirits and really lose two days before
• 13:40
  Speaker 4: the game, but he says, I have to be better,
• 13:44
  Speaker 4: and I can be better. The turnovers are unacceptable. Donald
• 13:47
  Speaker 4: said it doesn't matter if the ball's tipped, and maybe
• 13:50
  Speaker 4: this while all turnovers aren't the same, ultimately to my responsibility.
• 13:54
  Speaker 4: Clint Kobe acts very upfront about the turnovers. He says,
• 13:57
  Speaker 4: what we've been talking about and I've contended for months.
• 14:00
  Speaker 4: He says, we cannot be a championship team turn them
• 14:02
  Speaker 4: ball over like this, and so that's Does that change? Well, okay,
• 14:08
  Speaker 4: so what's the upside of all that? Does that change
• 14:11
  Speaker 4: how Kubac calls games? Is going to be more conservative
• 14:14
  Speaker 4: and take fewer risks down the field? No, I don't
• 14:17
  Speaker 4: think it will. As I mentioned off the top, the
• 14:20
  Speaker 4: lack of a forty nine ers pass rush tells me
• 14:23
  Speaker 4: they're going to be as wide open and pushing them
• 14:25
  Speaker 4: all down the field as they've been in a while.
• 14:27
  Speaker 4: I mean, this might be early season aerial circus time
• 14:30
  Speaker 4: for the Seahawks, especially Jackson Smith and jigbb deep down
• 14:33
  Speaker 4: the field. I think that's going to be their game plan.
• 14:36
  Speaker 4: I think it's going to be anything but conservative to
• 14:38
  Speaker 4: try to avoid turnovers. As Mike McDonald keeps saying, we
• 14:42
  Speaker 4: don't want them to quit pushing the ball down the field,
• 14:44
  Speaker 4: and there's a little bit of cost of doing business
• 14:46
  Speaker 4: to these turnovers. If they push the ball down the
• 14:49
  Speaker 4: field as deeply as they have been all season. I
• 14:51
  Speaker 4: think you're going to see more of that tomorrow night.
• 14:54
  Speaker 7: There's, you know, the conversation about running back and this
• 14:57
  Speaker 7: team obviously wants to run the ball up there towards
• 15:00
  Speaker 7: top of the league. As far as how how often
• 15:03
  Speaker 7: they do run the ball. I mean, Ken Walker just
• 15:06
  Speaker 7: a couple weeks ago went off against the Rams and
• 15:08
  Speaker 7: then last week Zach Charboney is do you think running
• 15:10
  Speaker 7: back wise, they're going to try to establish a run
• 15:13
  Speaker 7: like they always do And is there possibly a shorter
• 15:16
  Speaker 7: leash if you start seeing charbonnay excel or if he
• 15:20
  Speaker 7: ends up being the hot hand, well.
• 15:23
  Speaker 4: They're definitely gonna run. Then mean quit Kubak, that's why
• 15:26
  Speaker 4: he's here. We saw in the Rose Bowl yesterday a
• 15:29
  Speaker 4: team that can't run and what they go and Ryan Grubb,
• 15:31
  Speaker 4: And that's why Ryan Grub's nott the play caller anymore
• 15:33
  Speaker 4: they go to run. They still run it more than
• 15:36
  Speaker 4: anybody in the league percentage of play call times second
• 15:39
  Speaker 4: most in the league in actual run play calls. Yet
• 15:43
  Speaker 4: they're still diving the twenties on yards per carry under
• 15:46
  Speaker 4: four yards per Kerry. So they can run and even
• 15:49
  Speaker 4: when they're not running it effectively, and I think that's
• 15:51
  Speaker 4: going to happen again tomorrow night. To answer your second question, yeah,
• 15:55
  Speaker 4: I think they will be. It's a good situation for
• 15:59
  Speaker 4: the schematically and game plan wise to be in that
• 16:02
  Speaker 4: they've had two one hundred yard backs in the last
• 16:05
  Speaker 4: four weeks or close to it in Walker's case, and
• 16:10
  Speaker 4: they are going to ride both. And then I think
• 16:13
  Speaker 4: even though McDonald says we don't do the hot hand thing,
• 16:16
  Speaker 4: he's his explanation is there are certain plays that we
• 16:19
  Speaker 4: like charbone with looks like outside zone. Based on last
• 16:22
  Speaker 4: week's game, they won a lot of heavy outside zone
• 16:24
  Speaker 4: and there are certain plays we like Kenneth Walker in
• 16:27
  Speaker 4: and so if the game plan calls for more outside zone,
• 16:30
  Speaker 4: last week's game says it's going to be more charbonate Tomrnight.
• 16:34
  Speaker 4: This defense, especially without Fred Warner in it, they can
• 16:39
  Speaker 4: move inside or outside zone because you would think without
• 16:42
  Speaker 4: Bosa and Warner that this is a different game plan
• 16:46
  Speaker 4: than it was in Game one. So suffice to say,
• 16:50
  Speaker 4: they will be running, especially on early downs, and a
• 16:52
  Speaker 4: big key to the game, as it is in most games,
• 16:54
  Speaker 4: including for the Seahawks defense to Mornight, is how much
• 16:57
  Speaker 4: can they limit gains on first and second down to
• 16:59
  Speaker 4: make third downs long? Thirds downs long have been advantaged
• 17:03
  Speaker 4: Seahawks on defense, and third downs long on offense has
• 17:06
  Speaker 4: been often when Sam Donald's turned the ball over, all.
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: Right, well there you go, it's on. Here we go
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: Saturday night for all the marbles.
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: What do you think?
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: What's your expectation at this point?
• 17:20
  Speaker 4: I really think that the Bosa and Warner not being
• 17:24
  Speaker 4: there and Nick even worry on McCaffrey are the decisive
• 17:29
  Speaker 4: advantages in Seattle's favor, and if Donald doesn't turn it
• 17:33
  Speaker 4: over us I've been saying for months now, if Donald
• 17:36
  Speaker 4: doesn't give Purdy in the forty nine ers a short field,
• 17:39
  Speaker 4: I'm not sure how often the forty nine ers can
• 17:41
  Speaker 4: drive down the field and score touchdowns on Seattle's defense.
• 17:45
  Speaker 4: I think the Seahawks win because of Nick Even Worry.
• 17:48
  Speaker 4: We'll see how many yards and touches and scores Christian
• 17:52
  Speaker 4: McCaffrey ends up with. But it would surprise me if
• 17:55
  Speaker 4: it's more than he's averaging and used to getting. I
• 17:58
  Speaker 4: think you're gonna see the full Nick even Warre experience
• 18:01
  Speaker 4: from Mike McDonald tomorrow night, and it's going to be
• 18:04
  Speaker 4: decisive on defense.
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: Well, safe travels, and you have a lot of responsibility.
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: I don't want you hanging out till three o'clock with
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: your friends again listening to rock and roll music.
• 18:15
  Speaker 4: Yeah. I'm actually gonna be a plane from nine until
• 18:18
  Speaker 4: midnight tonight, so that'll curtail my social active.
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: It's every time to hit to town when you get there.
• 18:24
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 18:25
  Speaker 4: Fortunately I'm finding the San Jose which rolls up at
• 18:28
  Speaker 4: about married pms, so I won't have no chance to
• 18:30
  Speaker 4: get in tonight.

• 20:01
  Speaker 9: Jacobson and Anders Hearst with you here as we broadcast
• 20:05
  Speaker 9: on a Football Friday first a live show of the
• 20:09

• 20:16
  Speaker 2: We'll have your Friday Oho at eight o'clock.
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: It feels very Monday around here. That forgive us a
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: little bit. If we start talking like it's Monday.
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: It does feel very Monday ish. You slip into it.
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: But no, we had a couple of days off and
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: here we are, we land smack dab in the middle
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: of a football Friday.
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: For goodness sake.
• 20:33
  Speaker 7: Big fan of Friday, So I'm glad that we keep
• 20:36
  Speaker 7: reminding ourselves that it is Friday. And there is a
• 20:39
  Speaker 7: lot of stuff going on. So big, big game tomorrow,
• 20:43
  Speaker 7: certainly certainly the biggest, and we need our quarterback to
• 20:46
  Speaker 7: play his best.
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: And I realize it's been a little while, it's been
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: a little bit since Sam Darnold's been at the top
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: of his game. Certainly hasn't played in his last seven
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: games as well as he played in his first nine game.
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: The statistics bear that out, But still has played well
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: enough this season, Bucky that he's a pro Bowl In
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: vit he led the team to its most points scored
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: in a season in franchise history.
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: We've got a shot at the.
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: Number one seed here tomorrow with a victory home field advantage.
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: I don't know if anybody saw that coming. Sam Darnold
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: has been a runaway success story as quarterback for the
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: Seattle Seahawks, and yet so much conversation the last couple
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: of weeks about that turnover rate that puts him at
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: the top or bottom depends on how you look at it.
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: In the National Football League, he's turning the ball over
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: too much. But I heard Hugh Millan will be with
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: us at nine o'clock enough over the course of the year,
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: and I've heard Mike McDonald enough over the course of
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: the year that my opinion certainly mirrors those actually not mirrors,
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: but goes with that.
• 22:01
  Speaker 3: I'm I'm on that bus.
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: To me, I don't want Sam Donald to play conservatively tomorrow.
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: I don't want to risk losing that way. I'm in
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: the let it rip camp. And yes, there are things.
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: I mean, you've brought up quite a bit, like I
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: don't want you to be careless in the red zone.
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: We got to come away with points there, and there's
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: a there is a fine line between being aggressive and reckless,
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: and I need you to sort of be on the
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: aggressive side of that line and not on the reckless
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: side of that line. But I want Sam Donald to
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: play the way Sam Donald's played all season long, and results,
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: whatever results, be damned, whatever comes of it, because I
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: think that we benefit a lot more from Sam Donald
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: playing aggressive.
• 22:50
  Speaker 3: Then we get hurt by it.
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: And so I'm with Hugh, I'm with coach McDonald, and
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: I'm expecting Sam Donald to go out there tomorrow night
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: and let it rip.
• 22:59
  Speaker 3: And I'm all about it.
• 23:00
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I don't see it changing. And yet that doesn't
• 23:03
  Speaker 7: mean that the turnover part can't change. I mean, if
• 23:06
  Speaker 7: you just think you're right the last seven games and
• 23:09
  Speaker 7: seven games ago was the four interception game against the
• 23:12
  Speaker 7: Rams that obviously was the outlier, the biggest stinker of
• 23:16
  Speaker 7: them all. I mean, it skews the stats in a
• 23:19
  Speaker 7: bad direction. Hugh ended up having a conversation with MJ
• 23:26
  Speaker 7: that I ended up going back and listening to because
• 23:30
  Speaker 7: I heard it was really good stuff, and he was
• 23:32
  Speaker 7: talking about how, yeah, the interceptions don't.
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: Consider a football expert putting a talk show host in
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: his place really good stuff.
• 23:40
  Speaker 7: I think it's great, especially that one, and so just
• 23:43
  Speaker 7: how he was saying it doesn't the interceptions don't necessarily
• 23:47
  Speaker 7: dictate points that you cost your team or or wins
• 23:52
  Speaker 7: and losses. As a matter of fact, the exact opposite
• 23:55
  Speaker 7: he was talking about over the last six years, that
• 23:57
  Speaker 7: those that put the ball at risk a little bit
• 24:01
  Speaker 7: they also have more success. And Sam Darld he breaks,
• 24:04
  Speaker 7: I mean, Hugh does it better than anybody breaking down
• 24:07
  Speaker 7: what all the numbers are and then what those correlate to.
• 24:10
  Speaker 7: I mean, it's just that's the fact, okay. And you
• 24:13
  Speaker 7: can if people want to get stuck on those are
• 24:15
  Speaker 7: twenty interceptions, you just that's just a fact. Okay, Well
• 24:19
  Speaker 7: it is, but they're not all created the same, and
• 24:21
  Speaker 7: just at times if you can't recognize that, at times
• 24:26
  Speaker 7: a turnover is going to happen. But if you handcuff
• 24:29
  Speaker 7: a guy and say don't you ever turn the ball over, that,
• 24:32
  Speaker 7: you're going to limit your ceiling what.
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: You can do.
• 24:35
  Speaker 3: Yep.
• 24:35
  Speaker 7: And if you can't recognize that, then you can't recognize it.
• 24:38
  Speaker 7: And and so to me, I mean, with the exception
• 24:41
  Speaker 7: of that four interception game, which you can't you can't
• 24:44
  Speaker 7: do that, you can't go out there and turn the
• 24:45
  Speaker 7: ball over.
• 24:46
  Speaker 3: You almost won that game, yep.
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: And then they lost a turnover battle to him again
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: by what three and beat them.
• 24:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah the next time they face Yeah, and that one.
• 24:54
  Speaker 7: I mean a lot of things had to bounce their
• 24:57
  Speaker 7: way in order to pull that one out, but they
• 24:58
  Speaker 7: did it. They came back and won. The bottom line
• 25:00
  Speaker 7: is you got a w without that four interception game.
• 25:02
  Speaker 7: If it was just a three interception game, you probably
• 25:05
  Speaker 7: end up right now on eleven game win streak and
• 25:07
  Speaker 7: you're not. It's not this conversation about is there really
• 25:11
  Speaker 7: a great team in the NFL. They would be hands,
• 25:14
  Speaker 7: head and shoulders above everybody else. Had they he not
• 25:17
  Speaker 7: thrown four interceptions that game, just thrown't two, they would
• 25:20
  Speaker 7: be on an eleven game win streak. They'd be the
• 25:22
  Speaker 7: number one seed locked up, they'd be resting players this week.
• 25:25
  Speaker 7: They would be everybody be talking about that is a
• 25:27
  Speaker 7: super Bowl favorite. I don't know for sure if anybody's
• 25:29
  Speaker 7: going to beat them. That's what everybody'd be talking about.
• 25:31
  Speaker 7: Just with a couple passes that hit the turf versus
• 25:34
  Speaker 7: landing in the rams receivers. And it's in large part
• 25:37
  Speaker 7: because of him. So the idea of they probably should
• 25:41
  Speaker 7: move on, they should be the should probably you know,
• 25:44
  Speaker 7: just cut bait with this guy. You know, maybe draft
• 25:47
  Speaker 7: somebody or look, no, no, no, the dude is going
• 25:50
  Speaker 7: out and he's doing what it takes to win. I'll
• 25:53
  Speaker 7: say this, and I don't know how you can make
• 25:55
  Speaker 7: it any more simple. The difference between being a good
• 25:58
  Speaker 7: or great quarterback or just player in any sport is
• 26:02
  Speaker 7: your ability to overcome when you fail. I mean, every
• 26:05
  Speaker 7: single person that's played any sport has had a game.
• 26:08
  Speaker 7: Well maybe not every person, but any person that you're
• 26:10
  Speaker 7: watching on TV playing a sport has had a moment
• 26:13
  Speaker 7: when they are unstoppable. They're in that zone and they
• 26:16
  Speaker 7: go five or five, or they you know, go fifteen
• 26:20
  Speaker 7: for sixteen and five touchdowns in a high school game.
• 26:23
  Speaker 7: It's what they do when they have a bad game
• 26:26
  Speaker 7: or they make a bad throw that costs their team.
• 26:29
  Speaker 7: How do you get that short memory? Have a memory
• 26:31
  Speaker 7: of a goldfish, Get rid of that and be ready
• 26:33
  Speaker 7: to go back and do what your team needs you
• 26:35
  Speaker 7: to do. Not scared, not apprehensive, not overly cautious. If
• 26:40
  Speaker 7: you can do that, that's what it will dictate whether
• 26:42
  Speaker 7: or not you can keep moving forward in the game.
• 26:45
  Speaker 7: And Sam Darnold has evolved from the quarterback he came
• 26:47
  Speaker 7: into the league as to what he is now and
• 26:49
  Speaker 7: he has figured out that, yeah, there's going to be mistakes,
• 26:53
  Speaker 7: and I can't make the bad ones. I have to
• 26:55
  Speaker 7: limit those, you know, where you're costing my team points
• 26:58
  Speaker 7: or given the other team a really shit But if
• 27:00
  Speaker 7: you can just go out there and still let it
• 27:02
  Speaker 7: rip in spite of the fact that everyone swat it's
• 27:05
  Speaker 7: gonna hurt, I think that you're gonna be good. And
• 27:08
  Speaker 7: he has been doing that majority of the season.
• 27:10
  Speaker 10: We talk so much about process versus result in baseball,
• 27:12
  Speaker 10: especially with batting. Right, if you go up with the
• 27:14
  Speaker 10: right process, you're not gonna get the right result every
• 27:17
  Speaker 10: single time. It's the same theory applies with football. Right,
• 27:22
  Speaker 10: if you're doing the right things, you're not always gonna
• 27:24
  Speaker 10: you know, avoid interceptions. You're not gonna throw a touchdown
• 27:27
  Speaker 10: every single pass. You're not gonna score points every single drive.
• 27:30
  Speaker 10: But I totally agree with when the first half of
• 27:32
  Speaker 10: the season, up until about the first Rams game, he
• 27:35
  Speaker 10: was letting it loose. And I think something in that
• 27:37
  Speaker 10: game the four interceptions is like, Okay, we can't do that.
• 27:40
  Speaker 10: And a lot of people think when you have such
• 27:41
  Speaker 10: an elite defense that you just can't lose the game offensively.
• 27:45
  Speaker 10: So you play incredibly conservative. I actually kind of lean
• 27:48
  Speaker 10: the other way. I'm like, because you have such good defense,
• 27:51
  Speaker 10: you can overcome the mistakes you make, and it leaves
• 27:55
  Speaker 10: you more room for error on that front. Now, obviously
• 27:58
  Speaker 10: there's a there's a line where you don't want to cross,
• 28:00
  Speaker 10: but I think because of how good your defense is,
• 28:04
  Speaker 10: you should be able to kind of have that margin
• 28:07
  Speaker 10: for air that you normally would not have.
• 28:09
  Speaker 3: So let it loose. Sam, I totally agree with both
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: of you guys.
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, maam, Yeah, I think teams that should go for
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: it on fourth down more frequently when you have a defense. Yes, yeah,
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: that's that's my theory as well. Speaking of baseball, you
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: brought up the point in that conversation from last week
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: about you know, if you've got a guy who's hitting
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: fifty home runs a season and knocking in one hundred
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: and thirty runs, do you really worry that he's striking
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: out a little too much?
• 28:40
  Speaker 4: You know?
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: Are you gonna tell him to change his batting approach
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: because we need more balls and play, we need more singles,
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: or are you gonna be pretty happy that you're a
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: first place team with a guy that's hitting fifty home
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: runs really for you, for you this this season, and
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: that's sort of what we're talking about with Sam and
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: you know, Hugh does the mathematical breakdown, but at the
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: bottom line of it is that everybody seems to think
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: that turnovers equals this and production equals that.
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: Well, the numbers suggest that more.
• 29:19
  Speaker 3: Aggressive quarterbacks.
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: Have more success in the National Football League, and so
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: if you want to just focus on not turning the
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: ball over, then you're not going to get the offensive
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: production that you've been getting all season long from a
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: guy who's right now got his team with the second
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: most points in the National Football League. And so I'm
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: gonna live with it. I'm gonna live with it. Mike
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: McDonald's gonna live with it. Hugh Millan's gonna live with it.
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: If he throws a couple. I mean, you can't throw four.
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: You're gonna lose the game if you have a minus
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: four turnover margin tomorrow. I can live with minus one
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: if it means Sam Darnold's ripping it and getting JSN involved,
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: getting other receivers involved, and so to me, I think
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: it's just I think the conversation is over and I
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: want Sam Donald to go out there and employ as
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: aggressively as he has all season long. We're going to
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: talk more about that with Hugh Millen coming up at
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: nine o'clock today. Coming up next, there's an awful lot
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: of other stuff going on in the National Football League
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: here on the final week of the regular season. We
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: alto at least touch upon it. Sports Radio ninety three

• 30:58
  Speaker 1: Alright, eight o'clock hours coming up, but we've got your
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: Friday ocho for you.
• 31:02
  Speaker 3: That's right, it is a football Friday.
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: I know during the holidays we lose track of the days,
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: and when I say.
• 31:07
  Speaker 3: We, I mean me.
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: But today is a football Friday, and so we will
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: have our ohow coming up at the top of the hour,
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: plus g Millin and nine Mike Homer to nine thirty.
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: There's a lot more going on, it turns out, in
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: the National Football League this weekend than just the Seahawks
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: and forty nine ers. Even though that's certainly what we
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: are focused on a lot of different things taking place
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: that are going to be settled on Sunday, Saturday and Sunday,
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: and not just playoff appearances and positioning.
• 31:35
  Speaker 3: Either. The number one.
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: Pick probably gonna go to the Las Vegas Raiders. Leave
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: it to them to blow it in Week eighteen against
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: the Kansas City Chiefs, But sounds to me like they've
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: decided to take care of everything. Anybody that tries, we
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: will pull you out of the game on Sunday. Seems
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: to be the Raiders' mentality heading into this final game.
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: They're gonna try, They're gonna get the number. There's such
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: a huge discrepancy between the value of the number one
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: overall pick and the number two pick in this draft.
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: It feels like that the Raiders, I don't think are
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: going to allow I think I think Spytack will tackle
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: his own running back if he tries to score late
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: in the game against the Kansas City Chiefs.
• 32:20
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 32:20
  Speaker 7: Well, I mean we saw that just even last week,
• 32:23
  Speaker 7: right Max Crosby. They're like, all right, dude, you're not
• 32:25
  Speaker 7: going to play, And then he comes out and posts
• 32:27
  Speaker 7: a video of him shooting jumpers in his home basketball gym.
• 32:31
  Speaker 7: I mean, just that is not good, not a good look.
• 32:35
  Speaker 7: And yet, yeah, I mean, if you're not going to
• 32:38
  Speaker 7: be doing if you're not going anywhere, I suppose, what's
• 32:40
  Speaker 7: the point if you're the front office. Now, the players
• 32:43
  Speaker 7: that are going to be on the field, they're still
• 32:45
  Speaker 7: fighting for their job. They're still saying, you're going to
• 32:47
  Speaker 7: clean house around here. And I want to be somebody
• 32:49
  Speaker 7: that you know, keeps my job, so to speak. Unless
• 32:52
  Speaker 7: you're a Max Crosby, you're probably like, I know, I
• 32:54
  Speaker 7: still have a job in the NFL, So i'd be
• 32:56
  Speaker 7: great if you'd let me go. I'll go and throw
• 32:58
  Speaker 7: you under the bus about your decision to basically tank
• 33:01
  Speaker 7: this thing. We'll see, I wouldn't be surprised if they
• 33:03
  Speaker 7: screw it up too well.
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: Speaking of jobs, Black Monday is coming, so there'll be
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: a lot of head coaching firings coming up on Monday morning.
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: That'll be a huge topic of conversation as well, one
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: that we won't be able to delve too deeply into
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: because we'll be recapping Seahawks forty nine ers on Monday morning,
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: but that certainly is going to be a big story.
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: And this Troy Aikman thing I didn't think anything of,
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: and I actually heard a pretty good breakdown of this
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: this morning.
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: As a matter of fact, the show teased that they were.
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: Going to talk about Troy Aikman becoming a consultant for
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: the Miami Dolphins, and I'm like, really, on football Friday,
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: with coming off of those college football playoff games and
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: getting ready for this weekend, you just think, because Dan
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: Marino called up his buddy Troy Aikman, that this is
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: something worth talking. I mean, you're gonna have to really
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: sell this one to me, and they did. They pulled
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: it off. Chris Canty makes the point that you know,
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: Troy Aikman has been one of the most critical analysts of.
• 34:06
  Speaker 3: TUA for the last couple of years.
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: And also Troy Aikman as one of those coaches that
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: does not like soft coaches. He blamed Barry Switzer for
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: the Cowboys not winning five to six Super Bowls because
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: he wasn't much of a disciplinarian and things just got
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: out of control with the Dallas Cowboys, even though they
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: were sitting there on a dynasty. They still won three
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: and they won one with Switzer, but he felt they
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: could have won more. So all of a sudden, like, Okay,
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: now I get your point. They're bringing in Troy Aikman,
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: Dan Marino's buddy is bringing in his buddy, Troy Aikman
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: to be a consultant on this thing because Troy knows
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: the league better than Dan, who probably never leaves South
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: Beach anymore. And Dan's tapping into what what Troy, what
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: disciplinarian out there that he would want as a head
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: coach because Miami's suffering through the most player friendly coach
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: maybe in football history, and also thinking of alternatives for
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: to a tongue of ailoa. You don't ask the guy
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: that's been the most critical of those two people in
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: the entire industry to come be the consultants for your
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: GM hiring unless you are considering dumping out of head
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: coach and quarterback going forward.
• 35:26
  Speaker 7: That's interesting, Yeah, it is, And I mean i'm I'm
• 35:29
  Speaker 7: I'm with that where he comes from, as far as
• 35:32
  Speaker 7: that goes, just simply because football is one where I
• 35:36
  Speaker 7: think the head coach is huge as far as how
• 35:40
  Speaker 7: the team plays. I mean, it's not just rallying the troops.
• 35:43
  Speaker 7: It's not just X's and oser scheme. It's it's the
• 35:46
  Speaker 7: entire thing around. I mean, you're gonna lose some games.
• 35:49
  Speaker 7: Rarely is even gonna go undefeated. You're gonna lose some games.
• 35:52
  Speaker 7: So how do you bounce back? You're gonna have some interceptions,
• 35:54
  Speaker 7: So how does your guy bounce back? Like the way
• 35:57
  Speaker 7: we hear, you know, kind of tying it into what
• 35:59
  Speaker 7: we just talked about Sam dunk, the way you hear
• 36:01
  Speaker 7: Mike McDonald back his quarterback. Now, you always hear coaches
• 36:05
  Speaker 7: take their teams their players side for the most part,
• 36:08
  Speaker 7: right unless they're just really bad and they say it's
• 36:10
  Speaker 7: time to throw them under the bus to light a
• 36:11
  Speaker 7: fire a little bit. For the most part, you're like, ah,
• 36:14
  Speaker 7: we believe in Sam. But they're just continue to say
• 36:17
  Speaker 7: let it rip, dude, and you know they're saying that
• 36:20
  Speaker 7: tenfold in their meetings. Hey, you got that right there.
• 36:24
  Speaker 7: I don't care if that's a you know, back shoulder
• 36:26
  Speaker 7: throw instead of trying to go over the top. We
• 36:28
  Speaker 7: got to make the adjustment on that. But whatever it is,
• 36:30
  Speaker 7: we still want you making that throw because it's going
• 36:32
  Speaker 7: to work out and turn into points A lot of times.
• 36:34
  Speaker 7: I am one hundred percent on board with if you
• 36:37
  Speaker 7: have if you feel like your ship is rudderless, then
• 36:40
  Speaker 7: make some drastic changes, and the drastic change might be
• 36:43
  Speaker 7: a quarterback or might be a head coach. That you
• 36:45
  Speaker 7: just feel is because it wasn't that long ago we
• 36:47
  Speaker 7: were talking about Miami, how fast they were in all
• 36:50
  Speaker 7: these moves that they had made, like this thing's going
• 36:52
  Speaker 7: to be potent, and it looked like it for a
• 36:54
  Speaker 7: year and then it completely fell off. And I think
• 36:56
  Speaker 7: that the tougher coaches keep things, they write the ship
• 36:59
  Speaker 7: quicker than the players coaches.
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: Well, I'll give Mike me Dan a credit for this,
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: because I thought it was lost.
• 37:06
  Speaker 3: They looked like they weren't gonna win but two or
• 37:09
  Speaker 3: three games.
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: And he did get them to win what seven games?
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: Eight games this year? So I'll give him credit because
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: he he saved that thing from being a complete and
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: total disaster. But I'm just not sure he saved his job.
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: And this Troy Aikman, you know, consultation story probably suggests
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: that he's he's in deep trouble. I don't know why
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: you would be getting bringing in his biggest critic if
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: Mike McDaniel was safe.
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: Also, just quickly, I really love.
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: When former players remain fans of their team I really
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: when shearm was celebrating at the end of that big
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: Seahawks win over the Rams, I loved it.
• 37:53
  Speaker 3: Michael Irvin take a little too far, a little too far.
• 37:56
  Speaker 7: Maybe he looks, yeah, kind of looks like, do you
• 38:00
  Speaker 7: like it?
• 38:00
  Speaker 3: Don't like it? I don't like it?
• 38:01
  Speaker 4: You don't like that?
• 38:02
  Speaker 7: No, I think that, I mean, how can you not
• 38:04
  Speaker 7: be a fan? But boy, he looks he looks like
• 38:06
  Speaker 7: he's still trying to like rush a fraternity, like taking
• 38:12
  Speaker 7: his belt off and whooping the water cooler, like.
• 38:15
  Speaker 3: I'll give you this, Mike, you got good abs, you.
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: Really, Yeah, you're a great shape, kept of the workouts. Yeah,
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: but I think he may take it a little too far,
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: a little bit, all right. Coming up next Your Friday
