- 0:00Speaker 1: There are a lot of things to discuss. Back. It's
- 0:03Speaker 1: a good thing.

- 0:06Speaker 2: comes to covering the Seahawks.
- 0:09Speaker 1: That's right, you and Ashley And Yeah, I'm here. Yeah,
- 0:14Speaker 1: that's what I was thinking. I'm sure the listeners agree.
- 0:17Speaker 1: It's time for the twelfth Man round Table.
- 0:19Speaker 2: Our QB one Hugh Millan is here, our Seahawks insider
- 0:23Speaker 2: Greg Bell is here, and we welcome them to the
- 0:27Speaker 2: radio program. Hello, gentlemen, Happy game Day, good.
- 0:29Speaker 3: Morning, good morning, Yes, it is a happy game day.
- 0:33Speaker 4: Good morning, LFG, PUFM on you let's go, come on,
- 0:45Speaker 4: not it, come on, you need help, Let's.
- 0:48Speaker 5: Get him out there?
- 0:52Speaker 3: You?
- 0:52Speaker 1: Uh this this stadium better sound like the Boston Garden
- 0:56Speaker 1: beat l A. Come on, I mean, I mean, does
- 1:03Speaker 1: it get any more full tilt regular season fired up
- 1:07Speaker 1: for this than this? Hugh?
- 1:09Speaker 2: I mean, put this one in perspective in terms of
- 1:12Speaker 2: how excited you are to watch a Seahawk football game.
- 1:15Speaker 1: Oh, I think it's been I can't years for sure.
- 1:19Speaker 1: I don't know. I just I really like this team.
- 1:22Speaker 1: I love Mike McDonald, uh, Sam Donald. I think the principals,
- 1:26Speaker 1: you know, Devin Witherspoon. I just can't stop thinking about that, dude.
- 1:30Speaker 1: Just you know, I just I just love the makeup
- 1:32Speaker 1: of the team. I think they're on the incline. But
- 1:36Speaker 1: it's go time. This is this is all gas, no
- 1:38Speaker 1: breaks tonight. You got a chance to go put yourself
- 1:42Speaker 1: in the pole position for the number one seed in
- 1:45Speaker 1: the NFC. You know, Pat Mahomes is out like there
- 1:48Speaker 1: is a path to the Lombardi Trophy. Those guys know it.
- 1:53Speaker 1: All the storylines. I'm eating up every single one of them. Greg.
- 1:58Speaker 2: I remember when they lost to the Rams and the
- 2:00Speaker 2: Seahawks are already talking about we can't wait to face
- 2:03Speaker 2: them again.
- 2:03Speaker 1: Well, here we go.
- 2:04Speaker 2: And they didn't cost themselves with some trap loss in
- 2:08Speaker 2: the meantime, so they understand what's at stake here this evening.
- 2:12Speaker 2: What's the vibe over there in renting right now?
- 2:17Speaker 3: Well, I think this may benefit that this is a
- 2:19Speaker 3: short week. The vibe is that they're tired from having
- 2:23Speaker 3: played the Colts and they are aware of the stakes obviously.
- 2:28Speaker 3: And Julian Love talked to me the other day on
- 2:30Speaker 3: Monday and he says, like some guys will say, oh,
- 2:32Speaker 3: this is a December game, and this is just another
- 2:36Speaker 3: game or a championship opportunity. Like a former coach who
- 2:39Speaker 3: used to say, but Julian Love saying, nah, we know
- 2:42Speaker 3: what the stake here. Yeah, we got a chance at
- 2:44Speaker 3: the number one seed and home field and playing all
- 2:47Speaker 3: games in Seattle and getting a buy the only buying
- 2:49Speaker 3: the conference. They're well aware that the vibe is that
- 2:52Speaker 3: they're excited for being able to put themselves in this opportunity,
- 2:56Speaker 3: that they've earned the opportunity. But you know what, they
- 2:59Speaker 3: also know they haven't beaten the Rams in forty nine ers,
- 3:03Speaker 3: and they understand themselves that they have to prove to
- 3:06Speaker 3: themselves that they can do that.
- 3:08Speaker 5: This is why they hired Mike McDonald.
- 3:10Speaker 3: This is why to beat Sean McVay and beat Kyle
- 3:13Speaker 3: Shanahan inside the NFC West. And he hasn't done it.
- 3:17Speaker 3: He did it in the JV game at the end
- 3:18Speaker 3: of last season. But as you and I have talked about,
- 3:20Speaker 3: let's just throw that out. But this is why Mike
- 3:23Speaker 3: McDonald's here, So let's see what happens. We're going to
- 3:27Speaker 3: talk about factors and a bunch of stuff this hour.
- 3:29Speaker 3: I want to bring up right off the top that
- 3:31Speaker 3: I think the biggest factor as far as the conditions
- 3:34Speaker 3: tonight are, is going to be the wind. There's forecast
- 3:37Speaker 3: to be twenty nine hour winds gusting up to forty
- 3:40Speaker 3: as the game begins and then tapering off and not
- 3:42Speaker 3: being quite as strong as the game continues. They can
- 3:46Speaker 3: deal with rain, he will tell you that, especially at
- 3:49Speaker 3: the NFL level, but now even at college. At a
- 3:51Speaker 3: high school level, they swapped the ball out every time.
- 3:54Speaker 3: The referees allowed to bring in a new, fresh, dry
- 3:57Speaker 3: ball every single snap. It's the win that you have
- 4:01Speaker 3: to count. I talked to the Tonight Show when I
- 4:02Speaker 3: was filling in for Ian yesterday afternoon, to Mike Holmgrim,
- 4:05Speaker 3: and the coach said, Yeah, of all the things you
- 4:07Speaker 3: deal with and figure out and put into your game
- 4:10Speaker 3: plan of factors that could affect you, the wind is
- 4:12Speaker 3: the one that you actually have to really pay attention to.
- 4:16Speaker 5: He says.
- 4:16Speaker 3: It'll make you throw the ball shorter, it'll make you
- 4:18Speaker 3: run the ball more, it'll make you tell your punter
- 4:20Speaker 3: he's got a line drive kicks instead of boot him
- 4:22Speaker 3: as far as hard as he can. And of course
- 4:25Speaker 3: it'll affect the field goal kickers, especially into the open
- 4:27Speaker 3: end downtown right the left as you're watching on TV tonight.
- 4:31Speaker 3: All of that adds to the preparation and the intrigue
- 4:35Speaker 3: of his game.
- 4:37Speaker 5: And I mentioned this to you already, Chuck.
- 4:39Speaker 3: There are going to be things tonight none of us
- 4:41Speaker 3: have seen Mike McDonald do on defense to Sean McVay, all.
- 4:45Speaker 5: Kinds of combinations and nick emn worry. Use.
- 4:49Speaker 3: The only thing we haven't seen nick Eman Worry do
- 4:50Speaker 3: is play nose tackle, and we may see that tonight too.
- 4:53Speaker 3: We're going to see a bunch of stuff that McVay
- 4:55Speaker 3: hasn't seen, and McVay is going to have a few
- 4:57Speaker 3: things for McDonald. The thing about the short week and
- 5:01Speaker 3: only three days in between games, though, is you can't
- 5:03Speaker 3: do too much of that, or else the players will
- 5:05Speaker 3: play slow and think too much this week in Rent
- 5:09Speaker 3: And they've really tried to emphasize what they do well,
- 5:12Speaker 3: and they're going to simplify to what they do best
- 5:14Speaker 3: with a couple of new things, and they want those
- 5:17Speaker 3: guys not thinking and just playing fast.
- 5:18Speaker 2: All right, Well, let's separate those two because those are
- 5:20Speaker 2: two pretty big topics. So Hugh, first, let's deal with
- 5:23Speaker 2: the weather. How's it going to affect Sam? How's it
- 5:25Speaker 2: going to affect myers? How's it going to affect the
- 5:27Speaker 2: game tonight?
- 5:28Speaker 1: Well, you know, I've I designed a football that for
- 5:33Speaker 1: ten years that ultimately became an Adida's ball. I've put
- 5:36Speaker 1: footballs in wind tunnels. I've started in Buffalo. The windiest
- 5:40Speaker 1: game I've ever played into my life was playing against
- 5:43Speaker 1: the Bills. And here's my takeaway. You can throw down
- 5:49Speaker 1: win if you drive the ball. You can throw into
- 5:53Speaker 1: the win if you drive the ball. But if you
- 5:59Speaker 1: go the wind is going across the ball and hits
- 6:02Speaker 1: the fat part of the ball. There's no there's no
- 6:04Speaker 1: quarter John, not John Elway, not Josh Allen, There's nobody's
- 6:08Speaker 1: not Who's gonna be not affected by a ball across
- 6:12Speaker 1: the wind across the ball? And and I remember, you
- 6:16Speaker 1: know in Buffalo, Uh, in the first quarter I throw
- 6:19Speaker 1: out to the flat to the running back John Steep
- 6:23Speaker 1: and the ball just was like a frisbee. And and
- 6:28Speaker 1: and I went on to UH, I went on the
- 6:30Speaker 1: headset and I said, look, I can throw it between
- 6:33Speaker 1: the numbers. But either way, I can throw it between
- 6:38Speaker 1: the numbers, but I can't don't. I can't throw it
- 6:40Speaker 1: outside the numbers. Because of this win yeah, and and
- 6:44Speaker 1: so that that's gonna be a factor is knowing which
- 6:46Speaker 1: direction it goes, because because Sam Doron can spin that ball,
- 6:49Speaker 1: he can pierce it. But but here, here's here's schematically
- 6:54Speaker 1: how it's likely to be. In fact, if you play
- 6:57Speaker 1: the Seahawks may play more press covered in the wind
- 7:01Speaker 1: for the following reason. A lot of the quick game
- 7:05Speaker 1: that is in an NFL playbook, a hitch, a five
- 7:09Speaker 1: yard out, a twelve yard out, a skinny post. There
- 7:11Speaker 1: are a number of routes that what's called convert to
- 7:15Speaker 1: a fade. And so you basically tell a receiver, hey,
- 7:19Speaker 1: you get pressure, you know, oh that route return turns
- 7:23Speaker 1: into a fade. And now throwing the ball up the
- 7:26Speaker 1: sideline and trying to throw a touch that that's the
- 7:30Speaker 1: ball that gets tossed around the most. So you could see,
- 7:35Speaker 1: you know, and you don't need to have a safety
- 7:36Speaker 1: on that half of the field. You can play single
- 7:38Speaker 1: safety press, whether it's cover three deep zone or whether
- 7:41Speaker 1: it's what's called cover one man and man and and
- 7:44Speaker 1: and do that against doing that against the Rams. And
- 7:48Speaker 1: now they may have it done against them, but that
- 7:51Speaker 1: would be a schematic factor and something that you should
- 7:56Speaker 1: look for tonight, but.
- 7:57Speaker 2: I g ask Greg another reason to try to establish
- 8:00Speaker 2: the run tonight.
- 8:01Speaker 3: Yes, I think in any weather condition, this team needs
- 8:05Speaker 3: to do more of that and better. They ran from
- 8:08Speaker 3: just forty nine yards Seahawks did against the Colts, yet
- 8:11Speaker 3: they ran twenty two times. Most teams, if you're getting
- 8:14Speaker 3: forty nine yards, you just stop running. And we've learned
- 8:17Speaker 3: time and again that Klint Kubiak will not just stop running.
- 8:20Speaker 3: He's going to continue to do it. He's going to
- 8:22Speaker 3: do it tonight to help out Josh Jones, who has
- 8:24Speaker 3: to start up left tackle because I've mentioned this was
- 8:27Speaker 3: the wrong week for Charles Cross to come back from
- 8:29Speaker 3: a hamstring injury, playing in only four days after the
- 8:32Speaker 3: last time. So it's gonna be Josh Jones making his
- 8:34Speaker 3: first Seattle start, in fact, his first start since twenty
- 8:37Speaker 3: twenty three in September of twenty three when he made
- 8:40Speaker 3: his last start for Houston and then hasn't started for
- 8:43Speaker 3: the Texans or Baltimore since then.
- 8:46Speaker 5: So they're probably going to start by running the ball.
- 8:49Speaker 3: And when I was at Coach Holmer and yesterday he
- 8:52Speaker 3: said that they need to run it with Kenneth Walker
- 8:54Speaker 3: in a game like this with his athletic and as
- 8:57Speaker 3: as strong as the Rams defensive front, they need a
- 8:59Speaker 3: guy who makes the guys miss and him. That's Walker
- 9:02Speaker 3: over sharpening, and we've talked about that. The question, and
- 9:05Speaker 3: of course, is the remains. Are they going to be
- 9:07Speaker 3: effective running? Because that's the key. The Rams can spit
- 9:12Speaker 3: on the running game with their front. They don't have
- 9:15Speaker 3: to do anything extra. They don't have to bring another
- 9:16Speaker 3: safety down on the box. They can control Seattle's running
- 9:20Speaker 3: game with what they have up front. So can Kubiak
- 9:24Speaker 3: force any change in the front for the Rams that
- 9:27Speaker 3: would allow them to open up the pass game down
- 9:29Speaker 3: the field? And it's going to be the same against
- 9:32Speaker 3: the forty nine ers in the last week of the season.
- 9:34Speaker 3: They got to run the ball to win the division.
- 9:36Speaker 2: Hey, maybe that's the case here and maybe weather changes this.
- 9:40Speaker 2: I just I've been stating this and I'll get your
- 9:42Speaker 2: reaction to it all week long. I just don't want
- 9:44Speaker 2: to lose this game, just constantly trying to establish something
- 9:48Speaker 2: they haven't been good at all year. If I'm going
- 9:50Speaker 2: to lose this game, I want to lose it with
- 9:53Speaker 2: Sam Donald throwing the football.
- 9:54Speaker 1: What's your reaction to that? Yeah, I tend to agree
- 9:57Speaker 1: with you. Of course, the win maybe play, but when
- 10:01Speaker 1: may change that completely. I mean to stay ahead of
- 10:03Speaker 1: the of the sticks. You know, I think that you
- 10:06Speaker 1: you you pass first and then you mix it up
- 10:10Speaker 1: with run. Particularly in the red zone. The Seahawks on
- 10:12Speaker 1: first down, uh in the red zone for the entire
- 10:15Speaker 1: season average two point two yards on first down running
- 10:18Speaker 1: the ball. They are constantly getting behind the the sticks.
- 10:23Speaker 1: It's like it's it's like a hitter bucky right there.
- 10:26Speaker 1: They're constantly oh one uh in in every at bat
- 10:33Speaker 1: when they get into the red zone. And and so
- 10:35Speaker 1: the percentage has changed. So that's a factor for them. Uh.
- 10:39Speaker 1: Now they didn't have Sundell in the last meeting that
- 10:41Speaker 1: olo Timmy making his first start. That was pivotal in
- 10:44Speaker 1: in Darnold's first interception. Uh. The issue with Josh Jones, Uh,
- 10:50Speaker 1: you know, it's it's something that Seattle's gonna have to
- 10:53Speaker 1: work around. And and I'll give you just here here's
- 10:57Speaker 1: a factor that that Mike McDon is just gonna have
- 11:01Speaker 1: to and Clint Kubik have are going to have to
- 11:04Speaker 1: work around. These are the rankings of the Seahawks offensive
- 11:09Speaker 1: line per Pro Football Focus. Left to right. Now I'm
- 11:14Speaker 1: gonna say Charles Cross, and I'll come back to Josh Jones,
- 11:16Speaker 1: Charles Cross twenty six, Tackle Zabel sixty six, Sundell twenty six.
- 11:21Speaker 1: This is rankings at your position, then sixty one, and
- 11:25Speaker 1: then twenty three. Here's the RAMS ranking left to right,
- 11:28Speaker 1: left tackle eight, then five, nine, two, and ten. Not
- 11:32Speaker 1: one lineman outside of the top ten, not one Seahawk
- 11:36Speaker 1: inside the top twenty. And Josh Jones, for what it's worth,
- 11:39Speaker 1: is at a level that would be fifty third. So
- 11:42Speaker 1: so there's a decided advantage at least by that metric
- 11:47Speaker 1: for the Rams, and and and yet there's some advantages
- 11:50Speaker 1: for Seattle. But when you're talking about the running game, Chuck,
- 11:53Speaker 1: and you're you're, you're, you're leaning on that disadvantage, I
- 11:58Speaker 1: would I would tend agree. Don't knock your head against
- 12:01Speaker 1: the wall, you know, try and get some big plays
- 12:02Speaker 1: down the field.
- 12:03Speaker 3: Can I say something about Pro Football references, Football Focusers
- 12:07Speaker 3: rankings for a minute, It had Byron Murphy as one
- 12:10Speaker 3: of the worst defensive interior defensive linemen in the league
- 12:13Speaker 3: last week, and Mike McDonald said it was the best
- 12:16Speaker 3: game he's ever seen a defensive tackle play. He said
- 12:19Speaker 3: he was unbelievable, And I was watching Byron Murphy split
- 12:22Speaker 3: defensive tackles and make tackles that the line of scrimmager
- 12:24Speaker 3: behind while two guys were trying.
- 12:26Speaker 5: To block them.
- 12:28Speaker 3: Within the circles, we've talked about Pro Football Focused, but
- 12:31Speaker 3: just for fans know within the circles, that's the team
- 12:34Speaker 3: inside the buildings. In general, this is a generalization. They
- 12:39Speaker 3: think offensive and defensive line rankings for Pro Football Focus
- 12:42Speaker 3: are useless. They do believe that their tackle, outside linebacker,
- 12:48Speaker 3: defensive backs, skill position player.
- 12:50Speaker 5: There are some truth in the.
- 12:52Speaker 3: Rankings and they in fact, agents and teams do use them,
- 12:56Speaker 3: especially come contract time. But it is almost close your
- 13:00Speaker 3: eyes and throw dart aboard sometimes to the rankings for
- 13:04Speaker 3: offensive and defensive line mean because they don't know what
- 13:06Speaker 3: assignments are. They don't know where guys are supposed to be,
- 13:09Speaker 3: what gaps they're supposed to have, what the stunts are.
- 13:11Speaker 3: But I can tell you that Byron Murphy inside the
- 13:14Speaker 3: building is a hero. They think that he has I mean,
- 13:18Speaker 3: he's earned. He was at forty nine percent of snaps
- 13:20Speaker 3: last year, and we talked about how that had to change.
- 13:23Speaker 3: It's up now damn near seventy plus percent of every
- 13:25Speaker 3: game because he's earned the pass rush reps too. It
- 13:30Speaker 3: The defensive front for Seattle is the key to this game.
- 13:35Speaker 3: If they can continue to cover with seven, mcvay's offense
- 13:39Speaker 3: is not built for that. That's that is you wouldn't
- 13:42Speaker 3: we asked why is McDonald having success against McVeigh.
- 13:45Speaker 1: That is why.
- 13:46Speaker 3: If four guys can affect the quarterback or at least
- 13:49Speaker 3: make Stafford get it out even if he doesn't get sacked,
- 13:52Speaker 3: mcvayh doesn't have an answer for seven men in coverage
- 13:54Speaker 3: and a couple of them being all pro colber like
- 13:56Speaker 3: even worry in Witherspoon.
- 13:58Speaker 5: So I just when I heard Pro.
- 14:00Speaker 3: Football Focus, I know if a lot of fans have
- 14:02Speaker 3: been asking why the hell Gray's abel was ranked solo?
- 14:04Speaker 3: For instance, why the hell Anthony Bradford is ranked so
- 14:07Speaker 3: high all the time? We think he's just standing around
- 14:10Speaker 3: watching guys, and especially the Byron.
- 14:12Speaker 5: Murphy was there was a disconnect this week for sure.
- 14:16Speaker 1: Well, yeah, let me respond to that. Yeah, First of all,
- 14:20Speaker 1: I've said many times, I'm not saying you haven't that
- 14:24Speaker 1: PFF is not perfect. I think they get more right
- 14:27Speaker 1: than they get wrong. Secondly, they every single team in
- 14:31Speaker 1: the NFL subscribes to their UH, to their services, and
- 14:38Speaker 1: on the aggregate, what was the number one ranked offensive
- 14:41Speaker 1: line in football last year per Pro Football Focus. The
- 14:44Speaker 1: Eagles like they get more right than they get wrong.
- 14:49Speaker 1: I mean they get stuff wrong in the secondary. I
- 14:51Speaker 1: can remember in Week one against the Bengals UH where
- 14:57Speaker 1: uhek gave up a touchdown and they signed it to
- 15:00Speaker 1: the cornerback and and I'm like, no, that that that's
- 15:05Speaker 1: covered two. That's the safety. Like I've had my shake
- 15:09Speaker 1: the head moments. But I would say that again, as
- 15:14Speaker 1: a general rule, you can follow them. There's a reason
- 15:16Speaker 1: why every team in the NFL subscribes to him. And
- 15:22Speaker 1: as for you know, Anthony Bradford is ranked sixty first guard.
- 15:28Speaker 1: Does that strike anybody is out of line? But we're
- 15:33Speaker 1: here to talk about the Seahawks and the Rams.
- 15:35Speaker 2: But yeah, well let's talk about the defense, and I
- 15:38Speaker 2: do in our next ever, we want to get into
- 15:40Speaker 2: Greg's point about what tricks Mike McDonald might have up
- 15:44Speaker 2: his sleeve. But here, what is it in game number
- 15:46Speaker 2: one that they were so effective? I mean they just
- 15:49Speaker 2: shut down Matt Stafford. What do you have one hundred
- 15:52Speaker 2: and thirty passing yards in that game. It's the guy
- 15:54Speaker 2: that's played like an MVP every single game except against
- 15:56Speaker 2: Mike McDonald's defense.
- 15:58Speaker 1: So what is it that they were doing so effectively.
- 16:01Speaker 2: Against the Rams offense in the previous game, And then,
- 16:05Speaker 2: of course, what do you think they'll do to adjust
- 16:07Speaker 2: to mcveigh's adjustments.
- 16:09Speaker 1: Well, there's a big talk about the thirteen personnel and
- 16:11Speaker 1: three tight ends, and they had come in for four
- 16:14Speaker 1: weeks in a row. They were hot. They had like
- 16:17Speaker 1: eight touchdown passes out of thirteen in the couple weeks
- 16:21Speaker 1: leading up to it, and Seattle played mostly nickel against
- 16:27Speaker 1: thirteen personnel. You would think that would be a big
- 16:30Speaker 1: weight disadvantage. Now down on the goal line, there's a
- 16:32Speaker 1: couple of times where they went they remained in nickel,
- 16:35Speaker 1: but they went with an extra defensive lineman and took
- 16:38Speaker 1: out a linebacker. But they had the athleticism to cover
- 16:44Speaker 1: the field. But they also had the physicality. And then
- 16:47Speaker 1: they they as they often do, they have simulated pressures
- 16:53Speaker 1: where they have they make you think just a split second.
- 16:58Speaker 1: Even Stafford, a veteran, you know, they got guys up
- 17:00Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage, you don't know who's coming, but
- 17:03Speaker 1: they covered well and you know they had a couple
- 17:08Speaker 1: of gap breakdowns Ernest Jones was actually a culprit, and
- 17:12Speaker 1: a couple of big runs where they weren't in the
- 17:14Speaker 1: right gap in the first quarter. They buttoned that up
- 17:18Speaker 1: and for the game, they held the Rams to their
- 17:22Speaker 1: fewest yards for the season, that at four hundred and
- 17:26Speaker 1: fourteen yards for the Seahawk offense. They put up the
- 17:30Speaker 1: most yards of the Rams defensive surrendered. And you go
- 17:33Speaker 1: back even to a year ago when not the Week
- 17:38Speaker 1: eighteen game, because that we all say that's a JV game,
- 17:40Speaker 1: but the one in lumen Field the Seattle lost in overtime.
- 17:45Speaker 1: There were seven three and outs that the Sea Hawk
- 17:49Speaker 1: defense forced against that Ram offense. They only scored thirteen
- 17:53Speaker 1: points offensively for the four quarters. So McDonald has he's
- 18:00Speaker 1: been able to put a lid on that McVeigh offense. Yeah,
- 18:05Speaker 1: no question.
- 18:06Speaker 3: Sheil Capatti is a friend of mine who used to
- 18:08Speaker 3: cover the beat with me in the Seahawks and now
- 18:09Speaker 3: he's with the Ringer. He's with the Athletic at times
- 18:12Speaker 3: based in Philadelphia. He wrote yesterday that that was the
- 18:15Speaker 3: worst game of Matthew Stafford's career, and he's been playing
- 18:18Speaker 3: for a minute. If you go by the basic metric
- 18:21Speaker 3: that the newly analytic metric that he was mentioned EPA
- 18:25Speaker 3: expected points at it. He said that was the lowest
- 18:28Speaker 3: expected points at a game of Matthew Stafford's career.
- 18:31Speaker 5: Why is that?
- 18:31Speaker 3: Well, we mentioned two of the three touchdown drives the
- 18:35Speaker 3: Rams had last month against the Seahawks and Englewood were
- 18:38Speaker 3: four and twenty five yards because of sam Donold's interceptions.
- 18:42Speaker 3: Their three touchdown drives were four, seventy four and twenty
- 18:45Speaker 3: five in two complete games eight quarters in regulation play.
- 18:52Speaker 3: Sean mcvay's offense has driven the field more than half
- 18:55Speaker 3: the field to score against Mike McDonald's defense just twice.
- 18:58Speaker 3: Two touchdowns and eight quarters. Hmmm, it's more than luck.
- 19:03Speaker 3: And Hugh mentioned the three tight ends. The Rams do
- 19:06Speaker 3: it twenty five percent of the time. The rest of
- 19:08Speaker 3: the league averages five percent. Thirteen personnel. The Rams do
- 19:11Speaker 3: it five times more than anybody else five times. And
- 19:14Speaker 3: tonight DeVante Adams isn't playing. Wow, he's doubtful because of
- 19:17Speaker 3: the hamstring, which means they're probably going to go even
- 19:20Speaker 3: thirteen y even thirteen ish more than they are already.
- 19:24Speaker 3: Kobe Parkinson's a big part of that. They have a
- 19:26Speaker 3: backup tight end Pergison who's six' six in a matchup,
- 19:29Speaker 3: problem and the third string tight end is three. Touchdowns
- 19:32Speaker 3: the reason why they go nickel against thirteen is because
- 19:34Speaker 3: of Nick Emun, worriy because nobody else in the league
- 19:37Speaker 3: has with The seahawks have in Nick Emun, worry and
- 19:39Speaker 3: that is the reason that The seahawks have an advantage
- 19:42Speaker 3: if they go thirteen, Tonight they're gonna Put Emon, worry
- 19:46Speaker 3: Probably woolen And witherspoon all on the. Field it's the
- 19:48Speaker 3: same time against three tight, ends and they can cover
- 19:51Speaker 3: and play the run with those. GUYS i think McDonald
- 19:54Speaker 3: thinks he's got McVeigh.
- 19:55Speaker 1: GUYS i really, YEAH i, know and real. Quick The
- 19:58Speaker 1: rams had not played that personnel group through the first
- 20:01Speaker 1: five weeks and then leading up to THE seaot. Game
- 20:04Speaker 1: before they were at forty six percent and forty five
- 20:07Speaker 1: percent in the two weeks Before. Seattle then they went
- 20:10Speaker 1: thirty six. Percent then they seem to have, said, well
- 20:13Speaker 1: that didn't work very. Well they dropped down to eleven
- 20:15Speaker 1: percent after THE seaog. Game eighteen. Percent now they've cranked
- 20:19Speaker 1: it back up fifty eight percent two weeks ago and
- 20:22Speaker 1: then a season high sixty two percent this most Recent,
- 20:25Speaker 1: Sunday so you, know it seemed like McVeigh might be
- 20:30Speaker 1: ramping that back. Up And greg's exactly. Right Emon worry's
- 20:34Speaker 1: ability to cover ground in, space but also to be
- 20:37Speaker 1: physical at the point of attack when they run at
- 20:40Speaker 1: him like he was against The ram big part of.
- 20:43Speaker 1: That all, right helly you Mellan greg bell with.
- 20:45Speaker 2: Us it is a game day twelve man round table
- 20:47Speaker 2: getting a set For Seahawks rams tonight right here In.
- 20:50Speaker 2: Seattle first place in the division on the line for
- 20:53Speaker 2: both teams who sit at eleven.
- 20:54Speaker 1: Three on the. Year what a huge.
- 20:57Speaker 2: Game and we still haven't talked About DeVante adams playing
- 21:00Speaker 2: in this. Game and, ALSO i know you're all wondering
- 21:03Speaker 2: what Tricks mike McDonald has up his. Sleeve so we'll
- 21:06Speaker 2: Pin greg down with that coming up.
- 21:08Speaker 1: In our next.
- 21:08Speaker 2: Segment Sports radio ninety three point THREE, Kjrfm Mike florio
- 21:12Speaker 2: has gone as far as sand the biggest game of
- 21:14Speaker 2: the year period in The National Football league and it
- 21:16Speaker 2: goes down on our soil tonight and we've got our
- 21:20Speaker 2: guys to break it down for. Us here on the
- 21:22Speaker 2: roundtable Our seahawks inside Of Craig bell and also are Qb,
- 21:26Speaker 2: One Hugh millen And HUGH i, mean this is the
- 21:29Speaker 2: coaching battle McDonald versus. McVeigh my, goodness it does seem
- 21:33Speaker 2: to be That mike McDonald's got mcveigh's. Number but you,
- 21:35Speaker 2: know mcvay's making, adjustments But mike McDonald's making adjustments based
- 21:39Speaker 2: on what adjustments he.
- 21:40Speaker 1: Thinks mcvay's gonna.
- 21:41Speaker 2: MAKE i, mean this is the chess match that you live, for,
- 21:44Speaker 2: Right oh, Yeah.
- 21:46Speaker 1: And this is why they acquired. Him AND i think
- 21:49Speaker 1: that McVeigh has proven to be a guy that has
- 21:55Speaker 1: earned that offensive. REPUTATION i mean he had you, know
- 21:59Speaker 1: he won A Super bowl With stafford in year one
- 22:02Speaker 1: that that's kind, OF i don't want to say unheard,
- 22:05Speaker 1: of but it just shows his acumen and so he's
- 22:09Speaker 1: got a vision of offense that he's been able to.
- 22:12Speaker 1: EXECUTE i think that the absence Of DeVante adams is
- 22:15Speaker 1: gonna be a big part for. Them so let's see
- 22:17Speaker 1: What seattle does With Puka. Nakua you gotta tackle. Him
- 22:20Speaker 1: he's he's, strong but uh, yeah just the THE xs
- 22:24Speaker 1: and knows how the use of, personnel as we discussed
- 22:27Speaker 1: in the last. Segment and and you know McDonald's. Now
- 22:31Speaker 1: the thing about, McDonald he's he's got a healthy. Group,
- 22:34Speaker 1: now he's Got Julian, love he's Got Devin, witherspoon he's
- 22:37Speaker 1: Got Jaron, reid all the. Guys. Uh and so if
- 22:42Speaker 1: there's gonna be a a week where he's gonna, matter
- 22:46Speaker 1: it's got to matter, now and it's got to matter
- 22:48Speaker 1: with that defensive. Line. Uh in my, OPINION i Think Leonard,
- 22:52Speaker 1: WILLIAMS i think is due for a big. GAME i
- 22:57Speaker 1: just feel like if they're gonna they're gonna uh uh
- 23:01Speaker 1: be successful. TONIGHT i think it's gonna. Involve, yes it's
- 23:05Speaker 1: gonna involve the, schemes the simulated. Pressures BUT i Think
- 23:09Speaker 1: Leonard williams has been the best guy, upfront AND i
- 23:12Speaker 1: think he needs to play like it. Tonight. Greg what
- 23:15Speaker 1: are these tricks you speak?
- 23:16Speaker 2: Of what are these sleeves and tricks That mike McDonald
- 23:19Speaker 2: comes equipped.
- 23:20Speaker 3: With, well a lot of them are gonna Involve nick
- 23:22Speaker 3: Even worry and how he deploys him. People all the
- 23:25Speaker 3: attention we've given Even worry and the excellent play Of
- 23:27Speaker 3: witherspoon with. Him, well people don't realize That Greek wolven
- 23:32Speaker 3: is playing more than half the snaps as a rotating third.
- 23:35Speaker 3: Corner he played sixty two percent of the snaps against The.
- 23:37Speaker 3: Colts they're using three corners and they're using two of
- 23:42Speaker 3: them at the same, time and depending on the drive
- 23:44Speaker 3: they predetermined going into the.
- 23:46Speaker 5: GAME i was asking a dirty about this this.
- 23:47Speaker 3: Week they pretty much, Say, okay third Drive, wolven you're
- 23:50Speaker 3: going in With, Witherspoon fourth drive With, wolven you're gonna
- 23:53Speaker 3: be With. Joe fifth drive, job you're gonna be even
- 23:55Speaker 3: with With. Witherspoon those three guys are rotating among two,
- 24:00Speaker 3: spots and then they can go dine more than they've
- 24:02Speaker 3: gone all season because Of woolen's re. Emergence wollan has
- 24:06Speaker 3: really reinvented himself in the middle of the season to
- 24:08Speaker 3: the point where The seahawks are considering resigning, him which
- 24:11Speaker 3: none of us would have talked about In september And.
- 24:13Speaker 3: October so how they array those three, corners how much
- 24:17Speaker 3: they go, dime WHICH i think will be more than
- 24:19Speaker 3: in the first. Meeting because Of Wolan's emergens And witherspoon
- 24:23Speaker 3: and blitzing him more than they have so far because
- 24:26Speaker 3: they can Keep they feel now confident they can Keep
- 24:29Speaker 3: Emon worriy back in coverage more than they thought maybe he.
- 24:31Speaker 5: Could then you got the. FRONT i think.
- 24:34Speaker 3: You're gonna see it at, Times Emon worriy And Ernest
- 24:37Speaker 3: jones more than other games as the only off ball.
- 24:40Speaker 5: LINEBACKERS i think you're gonna See.
- 24:41Speaker 3: Leonard williams pulling The Aaron rodgers stunt in The meadowlands
- 24:44Speaker 3: Last december and dropping into coverage on some more stimulated pressures.
- 24:47Speaker 5: Than they've run so far this.
- 24:48Speaker 3: SEASON i think you're gonna See DeMarcus lawrence in the
- 24:51Speaker 3: flat covering as they love the screen game and they
- 24:55Speaker 3: love the plays out in the, flat quick passes in
- 24:57Speaker 3: the flat to their tight ends and running. BACKS i
- 24:59Speaker 3: think might See DeMarcus lawrence in coverage the defensive end
- 25:02Speaker 3: who's known more as a pass. RUSHER i think you
- 25:05Speaker 3: might See Byron murphy as a defensive, end which we
- 25:08Speaker 3: haven't seen a lot of yet this, season But i've
- 25:10Speaker 3: seen it in training camp AND i know it's in his,
- 25:12Speaker 3: bag AND i know that that is in This mike
- 25:15Speaker 3: McDonald back of his head to unleash their co leader
- 25:18Speaker 3: in sacks outside on the edge at. Times so all
- 25:22Speaker 3: of that we really haven't seen much this, season and
- 25:25Speaker 3: that's by.
- 25:25Speaker 5: Design somebody asked.
- 25:27Speaker 3: ME i was in a securest price up In vancouver
- 25:29Speaker 3: yesterday and they asked me about how basic the game
- 25:32Speaker 3: plan seemed to be in The colts. Game AND i, said,
- 25:36Speaker 3: YEAH i noticed that, too offensively and defensively because they
- 25:40Speaker 3: didn't want to hold their show their cards to. McVeigh
- 25:43Speaker 3: they have been, Practicing chuck for, weeks if not, months
- 25:47Speaker 3: plays and schemes they haven't shown in a game.
- 25:49Speaker 5: Yet and tonight's the night we're going to see.
- 25:51Speaker 1: Something, fun, fun. Fun, yeah and you, know and he
- 25:56Speaker 1: asked that, Question. Chuck and this is just very intriguing to,
- 25:59Speaker 1: me this new emerging analytic expected points. Added i've run
- 26:05Speaker 1: correlation and many times it's the number one correlation to
- 26:08Speaker 1: winning The. Rams offensive e P a is number one
- 26:12Speaker 1: in THE nfl for the, season the number one team
- 26:15Speaker 1: in the in THE nfl and defense E pa it's
- 26:18Speaker 1: The Seattle. Seahawks and if, you if you further, say,
- 26:22Speaker 1: okay in the last five, games excuse, me since week
- 26:27Speaker 1: five let me strike that since week, Five seattle's defense
- 26:30Speaker 1: is number one in THE, nfl and the following stats
- 26:33Speaker 1: points per, game points per, drive yards per, game yards per,
- 26:36Speaker 1: play defense of the e P a per, play e
- 26:39Speaker 1: P a per, game passing yards per, game in net
- 26:42Speaker 1: yards Passtep seattle number one in all of those statistics
- 26:47Speaker 1: since week, five and AS i, said for the entire,
- 26:49Speaker 1: season number one e P, a which has that high.
- 26:51Speaker 1: Correlation so all the numbers point to everything that we already.
- 26:55Speaker 1: Know the the chess match between McDonald and mcveah is.
- 27:00Speaker 2: Elite, well we got to find time talk About Sam
- 27:02Speaker 2: donald because he was the key really in game number
- 27:06Speaker 2: one because of a bad game that he played four
- 27:09Speaker 2: turnovers in that. Game so what kind Of Sam donald
- 27:13Speaker 2: do you expect to see?
- 27:14Speaker 1: Tonight? You, WELL i Think Tony gonzalez said about a
- 27:17Speaker 1: month ago on one of These thursday. Nights he, said
- 27:20Speaker 1: the player in THE nfl who has the most pressure
- 27:23Speaker 1: on him Is Sam. Donald and this is the game
- 27:29Speaker 1: That Sam donald has the most. Pressure so why do
- 27:32Speaker 1: we watch? SPORTS i watched The. OLYMPICS i think many
- 27:35Speaker 1: of us watch The. Olympics in, gymnastics that little Girl
- 27:40Speaker 1: leston at the end has to run down that and
- 27:42Speaker 1: tumble and do nine flips in the, air and she's
- 27:45Speaker 1: got to stick the landing and she's been training her
- 27:47Speaker 1: whole life for. It we love that moment because it's,
- 27:50Speaker 1: like it's the clutch. Time this is the clutch time
- 27:53Speaker 1: of her. Life how's she going to? PERFORM i don't have.
- 27:56Speaker 1: Daughters i'm not into, gymnastics But i'm into athletes in pressure.
- 28:00Speaker 1: Situations Sam darnold is in a pressure. Situation november twenty,
- 28:05Speaker 1: seventh twenty twenty, two was a career defining point in his.
- 28:12Speaker 1: Life not necessarily anything, happened but that's where his Career
- 28:15Speaker 1: prior to that date forty nine. Starts before, that his
- 28:18Speaker 1: win percentage was under thirty five. Percent it's over seventy six.
- 28:23Speaker 1: Percent prior to that, date he had one hundred passer
- 28:26Speaker 1: rating on sixteen percent of his. Games since that, date
- 28:30Speaker 1: thirty eight, starts he's one hundred passer rating sixty six
- 28:34Speaker 1: percent of His, like he is a totally different, man
- 28:37Speaker 1: a totally different, quarterback and yet the entire football world
- 28:42Speaker 1: is going to be looking at. Tonight, okay all that's
- 28:45Speaker 1: well and, good what are you going to do? Tonight
- 28:48Speaker 1: and the art of quarterbacking is is when you think
- 28:53Speaker 1: you see a green, light you gotta. Go and if
- 28:56Speaker 1: you're playing cautious because you're worried about pay or you're
- 29:00Speaker 1: worried about how things, go and that causes you to
- 29:03Speaker 1: be a split second, late can't. Play so that is
- 29:06Speaker 1: the big challenge in his. Mind what do his eyes
- 29:09Speaker 1: tell him to? Do and does he trust his? Eyes
- 29:12Speaker 1: and so him Performing you don't even have to like.
- 29:16Speaker 1: Football just Watching Sam donald and the crucible of this
- 29:21Speaker 1: pressure for three hours is going to be great.
- 29:23Speaker 2: Theater, Yeah, Greg i'm perfectly willing to live with a
- 29:26Speaker 2: minus one tonight on the stat sheet turnover. Wise If
- 29:29Speaker 2: Sam donald plays the way he's, playing he just.
- 29:31Speaker 1: Can't be minus. Three just can't be minus.
- 29:33Speaker 3: Three, YEAH i don't think he can be more than
- 29:36Speaker 3: minus one all he minus two would hurt. Him but
- 29:38Speaker 3: he's one and four against The rams all. Time only
- 29:41Speaker 3: The Miami dolphins has he had four losses in five,
- 29:43Speaker 3: games and that was in his first three seasons with
- 29:45Speaker 3: The jets when they were in THE Afc east with
- 29:47Speaker 3: the Terrible jets. Team he's been lost three times in
- 29:52Speaker 3: the last two seasons to The, rams two of them
- 29:54Speaker 3: with The. Vikings he was sacked twelve times in the
- 29:56Speaker 3: Two vikings games against The. Rams nine it's set a playoff.
- 29:59Speaker 3: Record he was sacked zero times against The rams last
- 30:03Speaker 3: month and forty eight. Dropbacks not only did he get not,
- 30:06Speaker 3: sacked he only got hit three. Times one of them
- 30:08Speaker 3: was a hit on the outside pass To smith and
- 30:11Speaker 3: jigger for the. Interception the point is That seahawks think
- 30:15Speaker 3: they can pass protect Against jared versus The rams front.
- 30:18Speaker 3: Tonight so they're gonna throw a little deeper passes than
- 30:21Speaker 3: they'd been throwing Against atlanta and The colts and The
- 30:24Speaker 3: vikings for that, matter when The vikings tore them up
- 30:27Speaker 3: in pass protection early in the. Game so look for
- 30:29Speaker 3: deeper breaking, rounds longer breaking routes tonight than they played
- 30:33Speaker 3: the last. Month and they think that they can get
- 30:36Speaker 3: the matchups With smith And jigba outside off a bootleg
- 30:39Speaker 3: play action and extended. Plays so he looked for him
- 30:42Speaker 3: to roll out a little more than he's been doing
- 30:43Speaker 3: more in the last few.
- 30:44Speaker 5: Weeks Darn i'll say this. Again they have a Super
- 30:49Speaker 5: bowl caliber. Defense if their quarterback doesn't turn over the,
- 30:53Speaker 5: ball they're gonna win.
- 30:54Speaker 3: Tonight and they're gonna win The, west and they're gonna
- 30:56Speaker 3: have number one, seed and they're gonna have two home
- 30:59Speaker 3: playoff games to the super if their quarterback doesn't turn
- 31:02Speaker 3: the ball. Over if their quarterback turns the ball, over
- 31:04Speaker 3: they're going to be on the road as the fifth
- 31:06Speaker 3: seed to Either Tampa bay Or, carolina and then to
- 31:09Speaker 3: Either Chicago, detroit and then to Either La Stan, francisco
- 31:13Speaker 3: or who knows where for THE nfc title.
- 31:14Speaker 5: Game not to say they can't win, that but that's
- 31:16Speaker 5: a hell of a lot.
- 31:17Speaker 1: Of you say one interception is it's just a fad to.
- 31:19Speaker 5: COMPETE i didn't say. THAT i SAID i said minus
- 31:23Speaker 5: two or. MORE i think they're in.
- 31:24Speaker 3: TROUBLE i don't think they can afford two or more
- 31:28Speaker 3: turnovers to give short fields to The rams.
- 31:30Speaker 5: TONIGHT i saw it last week In, inglewoo last month In.
- 31:33Speaker 3: Inglewood if he throws one fewer interception In inglewood last,
- 31:36Speaker 3: week The seahawks probably win that game because of how
- 31:39Speaker 3: they've changed the field position and deny The seahawks scoring.
- 31:41Speaker 5: Chances so To.
- 31:44Speaker 3: Hue into your, Point, chuck he can't play worried about those.
- 31:48Speaker 3: INTERCEPTIONS i think the fact that the design of the
- 31:50Speaker 3: players are going to be longer with deeper breaking.
- 31:53Speaker 5: Routes Like smith And jigbo was feasting on early in the.
- 31:55Speaker 5: Season is going to Help darnold.
- 31:56Speaker 1: Tonight And, SAM i trust let it. Rip, sam let it?
- 31:58Speaker 5: Rip all right what McDonald said?
- 32:01Speaker 3: Yesterday actually, yeah he said let it, rip and he

- 33:37Speaker 2: Be the, night WHICH i can't even believe THAT i know,
- 33:43Speaker 2: YOU i THINK i think.
- 33:45Speaker 3: Tonight the key for The seahawks is for their quarterback
- 33:50Speaker 3: not to turn the ball over AND i think he's
- 33:53Speaker 3: going to do.
- 33:53Speaker 5: THAT i think they're going to have a game.
- 33:55Speaker 3: Plan it's different than it's been the last Since vikings
- 33:58Speaker 3: In atlanta and The. COLTS i mentioned the long we're
- 34:00Speaker 3: developing pass plays again more to our House smith Than
- 34:03Speaker 3: jigba has been killing. Teams AND i think we see
- 34:06Speaker 3: some of the running game emerge a little bit more
- 34:08Speaker 3: than it has.
- 34:09Speaker 5: Been the key.
- 34:11Speaker 3: Again they can get away with an interception or so From.
- 34:14Speaker 3: Donald he just can't hand them drives after. DRIVES i
- 34:17Speaker 3: think that's going to happen. TONIGHT i Think mike McDonald
- 34:20Speaker 3: is again gonna get the best Of sean. McVay i
- 34:23Speaker 3: think The seahawks win their biggest game in a while
- 34:26Speaker 3: at home. Tonight we'll call it twenty to, seventeen twenty
- 34:30Speaker 3: to eighteen twenty something close to.
- 34:32Speaker 5: Something it's going to be very.
- 34:33Speaker 1: Close to the last, one just.
- 34:35Speaker 5: Differently, YEAH i just don't think.
- 34:37Speaker 3: THAT i can't See donald handing him two touchdowns in
- 34:40Speaker 3: twenty five yards an end. Tonight of, course what they
- 34:43Speaker 3: do did A rams?
- 34:44Speaker 1: Win all, Right, hugh what do you want to close
- 34:47Speaker 1: us out with? Here you, Know Devin witherspoon was miked
- 34:50Speaker 1: up in the last game and after the, game he
- 34:55Speaker 1: had a message for The rams that he was. Barking in,
- 34:58Speaker 1: essence his, message w you've got away with. One you
- 35:01Speaker 1: damn well know, it and that that's the g rated.
- 35:06Speaker 1: Version it wasn't g rated, right and and there wasn't
- 35:09Speaker 1: any rams that were coming back to him trying to
- 35:13Speaker 1: refute his. Contention SO i think this defense is going
- 35:17Speaker 1: to be just white. Hot CAN'T i can't wait for the.
- 35:22Speaker 1: MATCHUP i do think from a standpoint of of these.
- 35:26Speaker 1: Injuries Josh Jones greg said That seahawks want to get
- 35:29Speaker 1: the ball down the. Field Josh jones at left. TACKLE
- 35:32Speaker 1: i don't have to go back and look at my.
- 35:34Speaker 1: NOTES i remember WHAT i was saying in. Preseason i'm,
- 35:37Speaker 1: like this number seventy four is the, best you, know
- 35:40Speaker 1: backup tackle The seattle's had on their roster in a long.
- 35:43Speaker 1: Time based on what he had done that that's a
- 35:46Speaker 1: big step Between august and. Tonight i'm not saying he's gonna.
- 35:50Speaker 1: Pull i'm, concerned AND i think there has to be a.
- 35:54Speaker 1: PLAN i think there that there's going to be tight,
- 35:57Speaker 1: ends chipping and coming out. LATE i think that going
- 36:00Speaker 1: to be a huge part of the game plan that's
- 36:02Speaker 1: going to affect and and and For Sam, darnold you just, say,
- 36:05Speaker 1: hey remember those tight ends are going to emerge late
- 36:08Speaker 1: as a. Checkdown if you don't like what you, see
- 36:10Speaker 1: like the first interception he threw To Cooper, Cup i'll
- 36:14Speaker 1: take it to my. Grave Cooper cup got a minus
- 36:17Speaker 1: on that that there's no way he's supposed to be
- 36:19Speaker 1: going nineteen yards when he's being. Pressed but For donald it's, like,
- 36:23Speaker 1: hey those tight ends after they, chip they're going to
- 36:25Speaker 1: be in the flat or they're going to be over
- 36:26Speaker 1: the middle for. You so let's see what. Happens and
- 36:29Speaker 1: then for h For Matthew, Stafford Pooka nikou has one
- 36:34Speaker 1: hundred and two. Catches DeVante, adams who's likely to be
- 36:37Speaker 1: out tonight as. Sixty the next closest receiver is. Seventeen
- 36:43Speaker 1: So seattle's got a really and and nicoua, uh he's
- 36:47Speaker 1: in the slot at one hundred and ninety seven. Reps
- 36:49Speaker 1: he's outside at three thirty. Seven most of the offense is,
- 36:52Speaker 1: right so you know where he's gonna line. Up wherever
- 36:55Speaker 1: he lines, up you got to have a plan for
- 36:58Speaker 1: him the rest of. It you, know After adams The
- 37:01Speaker 1: cody Park Colby parkinson has thirty one. Catches that's the
- 37:05Speaker 1: next so the targets are limited For Matthew stafford if
- 37:10Speaker 1: you Have nikua. Covered AND i just can't believe a
- 37:14Speaker 1: three tight end offense is going to do this for the.
- 37:18Speaker 1: Season when they go three tight, ends The rams are
- 37:21Speaker 1: six point one yard square tamp Against seattle's two point,
- 37:24Speaker 1: seven so that all other, teams it's obviously higher than
- 37:28Speaker 1: six point. One so so it didn't hurt him last,
- 37:32Speaker 1: time it's not going to hurt. Him they should be
- 37:34Speaker 1: able to take advantage of this this like these are
- 37:36Speaker 1: two pivotal, Guys Charles, Cross Davante. Adams seattle's got to
- 37:41Speaker 1: win that battle of the injured, players and how.
- 37:44Speaker 2: You make up for it well and the words Both
- 37:47Speaker 2: aristotle And Hugh MILLEN lfg.
- 37:52Speaker 1: Right any dissenters on, That, no right there with. YOU
