Speaker 1: of Kirkland. Now from Radio Row, here's Chucking buck.
0:22
Speaker 2: Well.
0:22
Speaker 3: Good morning, live from Radio Row here in San Francisco
0:26
Speaker 3: for day number three.
0:27
Speaker 2: It is Chucking Buck in the Morning.
0:28
Speaker 3: Sports Radio ninety three point three kjr FM. Great to
0:32
Speaker 3: have you with us, and we have a surprise guest
0:35
Speaker 3: right off the top of the show. We listen to
0:39
Speaker 3: him on the drive into work every day, trying to
0:42
Speaker 3: survive his co hosts every single morning. Today we got
0:47
Speaker 3: to put eyeballs on him and he now joins us
0:51
Speaker 3: here at our set. Brady Quinn, former Notre Dame quarterback,
0:54
Speaker 3: former Seawk quarterback, joining us right here on the program.
0:58
Speaker 2: How you doing, man?
0:59
Speaker 4: Do it?
0:59
Speaker 5: Chuck Buck to be with you guys. Obviously excited for
1:01
Speaker 5: the Seahawks, excited for the fans. I mean this is
1:04
Speaker 5: uh probably to me, like, I don't know that Mike
1:06
Speaker 5: McDonald has gotten enough credit for the job that he's
1:09
Speaker 5: done and turned this team into it what should be
1:12
Speaker 5: a super.
1:13
Speaker 4: Bowl winning team after this game's all said and done.
1:15
Speaker 4: But yeah, I.
1:17
Speaker 5: Think nationally he's gotten some but like not as much
1:20
Speaker 5: as I feel like the offensive minded head coaches get.
1:22
Speaker 5: I think they tend to get a little bit more praise,
1:25
Speaker 5: a little bit more of the credit, if you will.
1:28
Speaker 5: I think when they they are able to do something
1:30
Speaker 5: like what he's done in the past couple.
1:31
Speaker 6: Of years, we love him.
1:32
Speaker 2: I know, yeah, he's been amazing.
1:35
Speaker 3: And then Schneider has hit his groove with a change
1:38
Speaker 3: from Pete do I know, you know, to Mike and
1:41
Speaker 3: I know that made a lot of Seayhawk fans sad,
1:44
Speaker 3: but two years later it's like, man, this marriage was
1:47
Speaker 3: made in heaven.
1:48
Speaker 6: Yeah.
1:48
Speaker 5: I think even if you look at the decision to
1:50
Speaker 5: move on from Gino, then you go find a way
1:52
Speaker 5: of bringing Sam and just how that all came together,
1:55
Speaker 5: or even you know, having a guy like Clint Kobiak
1:58
Speaker 5: in the year he's had as an offense coordinator. There's
1:59
Speaker 5: just there's so many things that have kind of come
2:02
Speaker 5: together and made this thing special and made to work.
2:05
Speaker 4: Obviously John's behind that, My McDonald's behind that.
2:07
Speaker 5: But I think at the end of the day, it's
2:11
Speaker 5: it gives I think a lot of other organizations hope too,
2:14
Speaker 5: that you can turn this thing around quicker than maybe
2:17
Speaker 5: you know, you tend to have thought ten years ago,
2:20
Speaker 5: fifteen years ago, where it's gonna be a lot you know,
2:22
Speaker 5: slower change, like turning a cruise ship.
2:25
Speaker 4: But that's not the case anymore.
2:27
Speaker 5: And I think with that there comes a lot of
2:29
Speaker 5: expectations for a lot of these new hires too in
2:31
Speaker 5: the NFL, to be able to turn this thing around
2:33
Speaker 5: quick or otherwise you're out.
2:34
Speaker 3: What if Signetti and McDonald done to all other brand
2:38
Speaker 3: new head coaches.
2:39
Speaker 2: It's I think it's that.
2:40
Speaker 5: I think it's the money too, right, Like, there's a
2:42
Speaker 5: lot expected out of these guys because we know how
2:44
Speaker 5: much they're getting paid or compensated, at least we think,
2:48
Speaker 5: and with that comes, you know, I guess, more pressure
2:52
Speaker 5: to be able to make sure they are the right guy,
2:54
Speaker 5: so you're not paying them that much money for longer
2:56
Speaker 5: than they should be. If they're proving to you in
2:59
Speaker 5: year one or R two to not.
3:00
Speaker 4: Be the guy.
3:00
Speaker 7: What's more impressive for a guy like you's been around
3:03
Speaker 7: the game and now covering the game as long as
3:05
Speaker 7: you have. I mean, Mike McDonald would be the first
3:08
Speaker 7: winning Super Bowl coach that is a defensive play caller.
3:11
Speaker 7: That's kind of crazy. That's a crazy stat to me.
3:13
Speaker 7: Or or is it the John Schneider being the first
3:16
Speaker 7: GM to go lead two teams with completely different coaching
3:20
Speaker 7: staffs and rosters.
3:21
Speaker 4: I mean, they're both incredibly impressive.
3:23
Speaker 5: I think that'stat is wild, right, Like there has been
3:26
Speaker 5: a defensive minded play you know, head coach play calling
3:28
Speaker 5: the actual defense. I'll throw on a third one. I'm
3:33
Speaker 5: trying to think of other quarterbacks who have kind of
3:35
Speaker 5: had the journey that Sam donald has had, right, and
3:38
Speaker 5: if he can win it, and the fact that he
3:40
Speaker 5: would be the first SC quarterback to start and win
3:43
Speaker 5: what like their story tradition of quarterbacks and the success
3:46
Speaker 5: of that program, that's kind of wild to think they
3:48
Speaker 5: haven't had one.
3:48
Speaker 4: Start in a super Bowl. But going from where he
3:52
Speaker 4: was drafted.
3:53
Speaker 2: I like, how you took your little shot there aft.
3:56
Speaker 8: To where oh sorry, wasn't paying attention?
4:00
Speaker 4: Yeah, I know, we.
4:00
Speaker 5: Haven't play anymore, so that's how it works. But the
4:04
Speaker 5: journey that he's been on to get to this point
4:08
Speaker 5: where he's the guy and he's leading the team to win,
4:10
Speaker 5: you know, as a super Bowl, and if he's able
4:13
Speaker 5: to do.
4:13
Speaker 4: It, it just changes the narrative.
4:15
Speaker 5: I think about around so many other quarterbacks who are
4:18
Speaker 5: in his position that very similar to coaches, like we
4:21
Speaker 5: move on from so fast because we think that's not
4:24
Speaker 5: it and maybe they need a little more time, or
4:26
Speaker 5: maybe it's just not the right environment or the situation circumstance.
4:31
Speaker 5: Not a lot of guys are able to come back
4:33
Speaker 5: from that. I mean that was something where like once
4:34
Speaker 5: I got traded from Cleveland to Denver, You're trying to
4:40
Speaker 5: whatever stench comes along with you that first impression, you're
4:43
Speaker 5: trying to wear it off and you're trying to.
4:44
Speaker 4: Get rid of it. It's incredibly hard.
4:46
Speaker 5: Now we're seeing like Baker Mayfield's had some success, right,
4:49
Speaker 5: especially guys in similar draft classes, but not to the
4:52
Speaker 5: success of what Sam Darnold has done. And I think that,
4:55
Speaker 5: to me is the biggest storyline is the narrative around him.
4:59
Speaker 5: The narrati other quarterbacks like him completely changes, I think
5:04
Speaker 5: with how other teams perceive those guys in the NFL.
5:06
Speaker 3: Yeah, I wanted to explore that with you because we've
5:09
Speaker 3: been handing out scarlet d's like a scarlet letter Nathaniel
5:13
Speaker 3: Hawthorne to all of the not just the doubters, because
5:16
Speaker 3: you understand why people might have doubted Sam Donald.
5:19
Speaker 2: We doubted, we weren't sure sure.
5:21
Speaker 3: But after two back to back seasons like he's had
5:25
Speaker 3: and now seventeen games plus playoffs and playing at a
5:28
Speaker 3: high level here, I just don't think you should still doubt.
5:32
Speaker 3: And I think you're the perfect person to ask this
5:35
Speaker 3: question too, I mean, because you're right. I mean, so
5:39
Speaker 3: often a quarterback gets buried and they never give that
5:42
Speaker 3: opportunity again. When you watch Sam, is it hard for
5:45
Speaker 3: you not to channel it through yourself, like your own
5:47
Speaker 3: personal voyage into the NFL where you didn't have as
5:50
Speaker 3: much success as you had as a college quarterback, and
5:53
Speaker 3: and kind of, I don't know, root for Sam Darnald
5:56
Speaker 3: or kind of wish that you would have been given
5:58
Speaker 3: that same opportunity at some point to show what you
6:02
Speaker 3: can do, especially when I was with Seattle to the super.
6:05
Speaker 2: Bowl that year. Yeah, and like beon that roster, you're.
6:07
Speaker 5: Going, oh my gosh, like there's gonna be guys who
6:09
Speaker 5: don't make this team that are gonna be making other
6:12
Speaker 5: teams and startles on other teams, like, that's how good
6:13
Speaker 5: that twenty thirteen season Seattle Seahawks team was, which is super,
6:17
Speaker 5: super deep and talented. But I think you root form
6:21
Speaker 5: because you love a comeback. Everyone loves a comeback, and
6:23
Speaker 5: that's what this feels like a bit. And I know
6:25
Speaker 5: he had success in Minnesota, but that's that felt different
6:27
Speaker 5: because of how it ended. And now I think, you
6:30
Speaker 5: look at what he's done in Seattle, it has alleviated
6:32
Speaker 5: some of those concerns.
6:33
Speaker 4: But you know, I don't know the best way of
6:37
Speaker 4: making a comparison.
6:38
Speaker 5: This is just the first thing that popped in my
6:39
Speaker 5: head because our family we lost a couple of dogs
6:42
Speaker 5: in the past few years, but we're looking at getting
6:44
Speaker 5: another dog. And you know, dogs are like the greatest
6:48
Speaker 5: things in the world, right, but there's gonna be that
6:50
Speaker 5: times too where they're like, you remember those moments where
6:52
Speaker 5: they kind of nipped you or they did something they
6:53
Speaker 5: shouldn't have done.
6:55
Speaker 4: And so those games sold.
6:57
Speaker 6: To kids as example out that.
7:03
Speaker 5: I don't know what dogs will maybe here at San
7:05
Speaker 5: Francisco with their say that's a first, But I'm making
7:13
Speaker 5: a comparison to just his level of play and that
7:17
Speaker 5: that that's in him somewhere, Like you've seen some of
7:19
Speaker 5: those bad games where it's happened.
7:21
Speaker 4: You just hope it's not the super Bowl and you
7:22
Speaker 4: just don't.
7:23
Speaker 5: You hope that he's gotten kind of grown past that
7:25
Speaker 5: and it's calloused over some of those performances.
7:28
Speaker 4: But the reality is it's it's it's still there somewhere.
7:31
Speaker 5: So I don't know that I'm like if he if
7:34
Speaker 5: he played poorly, I don't know that I'd sit there
7:35
Speaker 5: and say like, ah, this is like who he is,
7:37
Speaker 5: because he's overcome that too. But I do think there's
7:40
Speaker 5: that there, there's a low floor at times with his
7:43
Speaker 5: level of play, will even be put in that position,
7:46
Speaker 5: I don't know. I mean, I think if you're Mike
7:48
Speaker 5: Vrabel and the Patriots, you stop Kenneth Walker on the
7:51
Speaker 5: run game, you say, we're not gonna let Jackson Smith
7:54
Speaker 5: and Jig Blood beat us on third down on the
7:55
Speaker 5: red zone, make everyone else beat us, and make Sam
7:57
Speaker 5: Darnald beat us. So that would be my defensive game
8:00
Speaker 5: plan against him. But I root for Sam because one,
8:03
Speaker 5: he's a great dude, you know, just from following him
8:05
Speaker 5: to college. And I think people probably don't understand it's
8:08
Speaker 5: the last time that school won a conference championship, right.
8:11
Speaker 2: That's the second time you've done well.
8:13
Speaker 5: But I also think like people don't realize how much
8:18
Speaker 5: he They like he's covered up for them and like
8:20
Speaker 5: how much he overcame for them. And one of the
8:23
Speaker 5: knocks of him coming out in the league was like, hey,
8:25
Speaker 5: well he's he forces things, so he turns the football
8:27
Speaker 5: over too much, kind of had to, and I think
8:29
Speaker 5: in the Jets he was thrust in that position so
8:31
Speaker 5: it didn't work out. Whereas now he doesn't have to
8:33
Speaker 5: play that way, and I think he's matured and progressed
8:35
Speaker 5: to the point where he could take care of the football,
8:37
Speaker 5: let the game come to him, and he'll be able
8:39
Speaker 5: to be the player.
8:40
Speaker 4: I think we've always thought.
8:41
Speaker 6: He was Brady.
8:42
Speaker 7: You've you kind of mentioned, you know, could be or
8:45
Speaker 7: should be, insinuating that they're the favorites, and understandably so.
8:50
Speaker 7: I mean, if if you're in that locker room, if
8:53
Speaker 7: you're getting ready to get these boys ready to rock
8:55
Speaker 7: and roll, I mean, is it just simply we're just
8:58
Speaker 7: just go out and do what we do.
8:59
Speaker 6: I mean, just just don't shoot yourselves in the foot.
9:01
Speaker 7: Or is there still I mean, I kind of feel
9:04
Speaker 7: like there's some people maybe overlooking New England because they
9:07
Speaker 7: had an easier schedule.
9:09
Speaker 5: Yeah, everyone's saying that until they get in the playoffs
9:11
Speaker 5: and then they've had obviously a much more tougher stretch
9:13
Speaker 5: of playing tough defenses.
9:15
Speaker 4: And I've been able to overcome that. And look, you
9:17
Speaker 4: can point to.
9:18
Speaker 5: The quarterback play, Stroud struggle, Jeristidom's a backup, the weather.
9:22
Speaker 5: There's a lot of different narratives that I think you
9:23
Speaker 5: could kind of points to to support whatever argument you want.
9:27
Speaker 4: I think for me, what's gonna be interesting to see.
9:30
Speaker 5: And some of the breakdown that's starting to become more
9:32
Speaker 5: to light is like the variation of coverages that you
9:35
Speaker 5: know you want to present to Drake May. He struggled
9:39
Speaker 5: working against the quarter quarter half coverage in the way
9:41
Speaker 5: different teams have mixed it in, and you know, well,
9:45
Speaker 5: Mike McDonald look at that and say, this isn't something
9:47
Speaker 5: that we necessarily do a ton of, but maybe we're
9:49
Speaker 5: gonna implement more of it in this game because it's
9:52
Speaker 5: been effective.
9:52
Speaker 4: He's really struggled versus it for whatever reason.
9:55
Speaker 5: Maybe it's just taking you away certain players where you're
9:57
Speaker 5: playing cloud coverage to that side or however they go
10:00
Speaker 5: about doing it. But I I, you know, I look
10:03
Speaker 5: at it and just say, this is this is a
10:05
Speaker 5: game where this defense to me is as good as
10:08
Speaker 5: there is in the NFL. And it's gonna come down
10:11
Speaker 5: to if New England, because I do think Seattle's got
10:13
Speaker 5: the you know, they're the better team. If New England
10:16
Speaker 5: could put pressure on certain things like Treek Wollam. All right,
10:19
Speaker 5: we saw it was a bad movement in the NFC
10:20
Speaker 5: Championship game and a bad series of plays. Well, how
10:23
Speaker 5: would I attack him. I'm Josh McDaniels. If he's off,
10:26
Speaker 5: I'm throwing everything in front of him and then I'm
10:27
Speaker 5: gonna get him to some point to bait into a
10:30
Speaker 5: double move or a few double moves, and that's where
10:32
Speaker 5: I'm gonna get him. So that's that's how i'd play.
10:34
Speaker 5: And I you know, I I would target him more
10:36
Speaker 5: than anyone else. You know, I'd get the smaller shift
10:39
Speaker 5: your guys on those longer like the lengthy, long legged guys,
10:42
Speaker 5: because they don't like covering them if they can't get
10:43
Speaker 5: hands on them. That's how I'd play it. And again,
10:46
Speaker 5: you you know, have to do different things to involve
10:48
Speaker 5: Drake Man the running game force. Mike McDonell Mic macdonald'
10:52
Speaker 5: think about him too. Uh, it is the Super Bowl,
10:54
Speaker 5: so I think there's little things that wing we can do.
10:57
Speaker 5: But there's no doubt Seattle's got the advantage.
10:59
Speaker 3: Uh, give me your analysis of Drake May and the
11:01
Speaker 3: way he's playing right now, because obviously the last three
11:05
Speaker 3: games he hasn't exactly stuffed the stat sheet, and yet
11:07
Speaker 3: he's played in a blizzard and an ice storm and
11:10
Speaker 3: and frigid weather and everything else. So there's a there's
11:13
Speaker 3: sort of a belief that he's not playing well. But
11:15
Speaker 3: I'm as somebody that you know, played a lot of
11:18
Speaker 3: your games in the North, how how much that has
11:22
Speaker 3: weather been affecting him.
11:23
Speaker 5: It definitely affected him off the second half the FC
11:25
Speaker 5: Championship game. I mean, no one's gonna, you know, look
11:27
Speaker 5: at that and say it wasn't the case. He's doing
11:30
Speaker 5: what he needs to do to win, you know, and
11:32
Speaker 5: it's his first time going through this too, right, It's
11:34
Speaker 5: not like we've you know, had a bunch of postseason
11:37
Speaker 5: experience for Drake Bay. So every game I think there's
11:40
Speaker 5: a bit of learning too that comes along with it,
11:42
Speaker 5: and at the end of the day, he's obviously doing
11:44
Speaker 5: much enough by the end of the game to help
11:46
Speaker 5: his team win, which is the ultimate goal.
11:48
Speaker 4: So you know, is he playing some of his best football?
11:50
Speaker 5: No, but he's had a rough stretch two of defenses
11:52
Speaker 5: he's had to face along with that weather, and it
11:54
Speaker 5: doesn't get any.
11:55
Speaker 4: Easier in this matchup.
11:57
Speaker 5: So look, I think he again knowing Josh McDaniels, having
12:02
Speaker 5: played for Josh, Josh does an unbelievable job of giving
12:06
Speaker 5: him what's called coverage indicators. So before every snap, he's
12:10
Speaker 5: gonna have a really good idea of what Seattle's doing,
12:13
Speaker 5: whether it's man or zone. If it is zoned, like
12:15
Speaker 5: where the weak spots are, or what matchup they're trying
12:17
Speaker 5: to work if it's a man and man, which matchup
12:19
Speaker 5: they're working. In that regard, Josh is just an incredible
12:22
Speaker 5: offensive mine and play caller, and I don't think other
12:25
Speaker 5: than execution and the speed of things and just not
12:28
Speaker 5: allowing the outside noise to get to him, I don't
12:31
Speaker 5: think he's gonna struggle unless he presses. But I think
12:35
Speaker 5: this is a game too. I said it before, you
12:36
Speaker 5: have to get Drake Drake Man involved in the run game.
12:39
Speaker 5: You know, he's got to use his legs because he's
12:40
Speaker 5: dangerous when he can do it. And if you can
12:43
Speaker 5: force Seattle to have to deal with not only the
12:44
Speaker 5: run game but also him as a part of that,
12:46
Speaker 5: it just it changes the dynamics of the box count
12:49
Speaker 5: and what Seattle wants to.
12:50
Speaker 6: Do if they win the Super Bowl.
12:52
Speaker 7: The comparisons to this and the legion of Boom Days
12:56
Speaker 7: is going to run rampant. We're going to talk about it,
12:58
Speaker 7: I'm sure in Seattle.
13:00
Speaker 2: To talk about that very thing. And then we had
13:02
Speaker 2: a chance to put Brady Quinn on the area about that.
13:05
Speaker 5: I just think the biggest difference is the offense for
13:08
Speaker 5: Seattle was so much based on run game, offscript, you know,
13:12
Speaker 5: where like the play would break down. When I was
13:13
Speaker 5: there with him in twenty thirteen, like you know, we
13:16
Speaker 5: ran scrambled drills more than any other team I'd ever
13:18
Speaker 5: been with, and it was it was the play that
13:20
Speaker 5: starts after the play breaks down or once Russell would
13:22
Speaker 5: break the pocket. This is much more on script for me.
13:24
Speaker 5: You know, Sam Donald will improvise, we'll do some things,
13:27
Speaker 5: but this is like great game planning, great scheme, very
13:31
Speaker 5: very talented players. I mean, Jsn's making a case for
13:34
Speaker 5: him to be, you know, one of those gold jacket
13:37
Speaker 5: guys when it's all said and done. Is as how
13:39
Speaker 5: far as how good he's been. And obviously they have
13:41
Speaker 5: a nice compliment of receivers and pass catches around him.
13:44
Speaker 5: So I don't see the offense operating the same manner,
13:47
Speaker 5: you know, where Russell would make like one or two
13:51
Speaker 5: plays to win it, like I thought Sam Donald was,
13:52
Speaker 5: like it was like a heavyweight boxing match.
13:54
Speaker 4: He was going blow for blow with Matt Stafford the
13:56
Speaker 4: NFC Championship game.
13:58
Speaker 5: I think this game has more of a chance of
14:01
Speaker 5: being that than it is like defensive dominant, you know,
14:05
Speaker 5: things going haywire for le Broncos like they did in
14:07
Speaker 5: that in that Super Bowl victory, and the offense isn't
14:10
Speaker 5: really you know, doing as much. I think the offense
14:12
Speaker 5: got to play a pivotal role in this.
14:14
Speaker 3: Yeah, I brought this topic up yesterday. You might be
14:16
Speaker 3: the perfect person to ask that twenty thirteen team that
14:18
Speaker 3: had not won a Super Bowl that you know, you're
14:21
Speaker 3: there versus this team that has not won a Super
14:24
Speaker 3: Bowl but kind of looks like they're getting ready to
14:26
Speaker 3: go on a run. Which is the better team?
14:29
Speaker 5: I would say, the only the only perspective I can
14:33
Speaker 5: give you is I think that defense was better. I
14:37
Speaker 5: thought the combination of the edge rushers, even some of
14:41
Speaker 5: our interior players that Athletics says about linebacker, but the secondary.
14:45
Speaker 4: I just I thought that defense.
14:48
Speaker 5: I mean it changed the way I looked at throwing
14:50
Speaker 5: deep balls. It changed the way I mean, granted my
14:53
Speaker 5: crit and extent too much further after that, but but
14:56
Speaker 5: you like you had to throw a flatter ball because
15:00
Speaker 5: of how much ground Earl Thomas could cover in the
15:02
Speaker 5: deep middle. You had to put balls in a perfect
15:06
Speaker 5: spot outside, you know, over outside to the outside because
15:10
Speaker 5: Richard Trump was.
15:10
Speaker 4: So long and he would he would be able to
15:12
Speaker 4: get a hand on it.
15:13
Speaker 5: And those guys what they were super super sharp at
15:18
Speaker 5: is when they would get beat with something, they'd never
15:20
Speaker 5: get beat twice. I'll never forget doing something that, you know,
15:23
Speaker 5: versus Richard on something. Next time I came back trying
15:26
Speaker 5: to throw it, very similar player concept, he'd pick it off.
15:29
Speaker 5: And like those guys, it was like you know, computer learning,
15:33
Speaker 5: like they were never like going to allow you to
15:34
Speaker 5: get them twice on something. So I would say that's
15:37
Speaker 5: the only difference that I could share is that I
15:39
Speaker 5: thought that was a generational defense and it was rightfully
15:44
Speaker 5: you know, titled as it should be, the Legion of Boom.
15:46
Speaker 6: Yeah.
15:46
Speaker 7: Well, I mean, obviously the players make the difference. But
15:49
Speaker 7: I'm wondering, just from your perspective being a quarterback playing
15:52
Speaker 7: against that defense, but now watching and analyzing this year's
15:56
Speaker 7: this version of the Seahawks defense, is there anything in
15:59
Speaker 7: particular that you see that is special or really different
16:02
Speaker 7: about the way that Mike McDonald kind of schemes this
16:05
Speaker 7: thing up.
16:05
Speaker 5: I think there's a much greater variety of what he
16:08
Speaker 5: does as compared to those you know, the Pete Carroll
16:10
Speaker 5: that that super winning team. I mean, they played some
16:13
Speaker 5: variations of Cover three some man, there wasn't much split
16:15
Speaker 5: safety's own mixed in like that was they.
16:17
Speaker 4: Did what they did.
16:17
Speaker 5: Everyone knew what they did, and they would just out execute.
16:20
Speaker 5: They play fast, out execute you, and it made it
16:23
Speaker 5: extremely difficult because you knew what you were going up against.
16:26
Speaker 5: It was just like you weren't sure your guys could
16:28
Speaker 5: beat their guys or you'd have enough time to be
16:31
Speaker 5: able to beat their guys. So that that's what I
16:34
Speaker 5: say is one of the biggest differences is there's just
16:36
Speaker 5: there's a little more Bolittz concepts to worry about. There's
16:39
Speaker 5: you know, time zone they'll pressure, there's times when it's not.
16:42
Speaker 5: It's a little bit more coverage and a greater variety
16:44
Speaker 5: of how they mix that stuff in, which again it
16:47
Speaker 5: makes game planning for it more difficult, But it doesn't
16:51
Speaker 5: feel like it's as big of a mountain to climb.
16:54
Speaker 5: Maybe from a personnel standpoint, I mean, Witherspoon's, you know,
16:57
Speaker 5: one of the best cornerbacks in the league, so I
16:59
Speaker 5: don't know if i'd pick on him much. But again,
17:01
Speaker 5: like I said, after seeing Trig Wallen and just the
17:04
Speaker 5: body type and everything else, I just anytime you see
17:07
Speaker 5: those tall, lengthy guys when they're playing off the ball,
17:09
Speaker 5: that's the time to attack them because they're not allowing
17:12
Speaker 5: their length and they're what they can how physical, they're
17:14
Speaker 5: gonna be at the line of scrimmage to play their advantage.
17:17
Speaker 5: You know, it's like when they drop out one of
17:18
Speaker 5: the better edge rushers, like thank god as a quarterback,
17:21
Speaker 5: like yeah, put that guy in coverage, Like don't do
17:23
Speaker 5: you know don't give them ability to rush like you
17:26
Speaker 5: pay him to do.
17:26
Speaker 2: You know, millions of dollars, Well, Seahawk fans go to
17:29
Speaker 2: bed Sunday night happy. I think so, Yeah, I think so.
17:32
Speaker 4: I think the matter The question is do they cover?
17:35
Speaker 5: You know it says that's become part of the conversation
17:37
Speaker 5: with the gambling, you know it sports nowadays, Like that
17:40
Speaker 5: number is kind of a funky number, you know so,
17:43
Speaker 5: I keep seeing this replay of Madden twenty six saying, hey,
17:46
Speaker 5: Seahawks win, but twenty three twenty so I believe that
17:49
Speaker 5: would at least be a cover for New England and
17:52
Speaker 5: with the under it's good.
17:53
Speaker 3: To do Madden always playing it safe, yeah, always trying
17:57
Speaker 3: to keep it balanced.
17:58
Speaker 4: All right?
17:58
Speaker 2: Before we let you go, appreciate your time. I know
18:01
Speaker 2: you just finished doing a radio show yourself.
18:03
Speaker 3: I gotta ask, so, what does make you most uncomfortable
18:06
Speaker 3: about your radio show? Is it when LeVar takes every
18:10
Speaker 3: topic and turns it into Penn State football? Or is
18:13
Speaker 3: it when Jonas takes every topic and turns it into
18:17
Speaker 3: either race or sexual innuendo.
18:22
Speaker 5: That's a tough one to answer because I'll usually just
18:25
Speaker 5: let LeVar go. Jonas it's hard to bring it back around,
18:31
Speaker 5: or if you have to lean into it just to
18:33
Speaker 5: make sure, because then then LeVar gets involved that it
18:36
Speaker 5: just it goes, it goes off the road. So I
18:39
Speaker 5: don't know, I'm not sure which I feel more uncomfortable about,
18:44
Speaker 5: but it's it's probably Jonas.
18:45
Speaker 4: Jonas makes everyone feel little uncomfortable.
18:48
Speaker 3: It makes me uncomfortable way over here, Yeah, him walking
18:51
Speaker 3: around as he makes sure people feel uncomfortable. Uh, finally,
18:55
Speaker 3: would you like to take one more shot at USC
18:57
Speaker 3: before we let you go? You squeeze too, and they're subtle.
19:00
Speaker 3: Would you like to just just open open field? It's sad,
19:04
Speaker 3: it really is.
19:05
Speaker 4: It's sad.
19:05
Speaker 5: It's it's it's the equivalent of I thought ten years
19:08
Speaker 5: ago when we were here in San Francisco and the
19:09
Speaker 5: city was a much better place.
19:11
Speaker 2: I did walking around the city last night and today
19:13
Speaker 2: I was like, good God.
19:16
Speaker 4: So it's sad.
19:16
Speaker 5: It's sad the city like this. But you know, you know,
19:21
Speaker 5: se not having the rivalry and you know, checking out
19:23
Speaker 5: of it is what it is. Yeah, let's let them
19:26
Speaker 5: see if they can ever. Now, what excuses do they have?
19:29
Speaker 5: Now they don't have to play Notre dame? You know
19:31
Speaker 5: they're still in the Big Ten, but it's like, at
19:32
Speaker 5: some point, can they get to a conference championship game?
19:35
Speaker 4: Can they make a playoff? I mean, how many excuses
19:37
Speaker 4: are they gonna have?
19:38
Speaker 6: Now?
19:38
Speaker 8: Can I just say? The sad part is I have
19:40
Speaker 8: nothing to argue against that because I agree with all
19:42
Speaker 8: of it.
19:44
Speaker 5: It's like, at this point, but the problem that I
19:46
Speaker 5: have with SC fans when they just buy and everything
19:48
Speaker 5: Lincoln says, I'm like, dude, Clay Helton was every bit
19:51
Speaker 5: is good, if not better, and you guys ran him
19:53
Speaker 5: out of town, and it's like, so, why do you
19:55
Speaker 5: keep defending this guy?
19:56
Speaker 4: Help it makes sense.
19:57
Speaker 2: I don't hear a lot of them defending him. It's
19:59
Speaker 2: like the athletic department does there's.
20:02
Speaker 5: Other people is all in, well, it's because he's afraid,
20:06
Speaker 5: And this is what never makes sense. And also it's like,
20:08
Speaker 5: it's odd to me that someone who made their legacy
20:11
Speaker 5: off of that rivalry that doesn't want other players have
20:14
Speaker 5: the same opportunity to do it.
20:15
Speaker 4: It seems like a bit odd to not want that.
20:19
Speaker 5: But also I think there's a concern that, like, well,
20:20
Speaker 5: if I say bad things about him, will they still
20:22
Speaker 5: let me in I'm like, yeah, dude, your numbers retired.
20:24
Speaker 4: In the stadium.
20:26
Speaker 5: I think you've got a free ticket and to always
20:29
Speaker 5: get into a game the or whatever you want.
20:32
Speaker 2: Hey man, thank you very much.
20:33
Speaker 3: Appreciate it, Greppy, to meet your face to face and
20:36

Speaker 6: Write that down. Write that down.
21:34
Speaker 2: Oh well I.
21:35

21:39
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, he was thinking he was here earlier on

22:05
Speaker 6: Yeah he can boom.
22:07
Speaker 2: Just the thing about the viagarn you bang, Yeah, you're
22:15
Speaker 2: not feeling that well.
22:16
Speaker 6: And then bang.
22:17
Speaker 9: When you talk to Frank Caliendo, do you do impersonations
22:20
Speaker 9: too or do you just just do them? Because I'm
22:23
Speaker 9: really intrigued to see how this conversations are.
22:25
Speaker 2: Actually I actually will tell you.
22:26
Speaker 3: Like, so if people don't know, I used to do
22:29
Speaker 3: a podcast with Frank Caliendo and my friend John Holmberg.
22:32
Speaker 3: And when we started it up and I had not
22:35
Speaker 3: met Frank, I knew John. John's one of my very
22:38
Speaker 3: good friends, and so we were, you know, he and
22:40
Speaker 3: I both did radio together, and John knew Frank. And
22:44
Speaker 3: then all of a sudden, John wanted to do the
22:48
Speaker 3: podcasting thing was exploding and he wanted to do a
22:52
Speaker 3: project with Frank. And then he asked me if I
22:55
Speaker 3: would be involved, and I'm like yeah, yeah, and I did.
22:58
Speaker 3: I do voices but I'm not like them. They're the
23:02
Speaker 3: two best voice impersonators in the world, and I do them.
23:05
Speaker 2: I dabble in them.
23:07
Speaker 4: You know.
23:07
Speaker 2: My thing on my radio show that I used to
23:09
Speaker 2: do was I could do just.
23:11
Speaker 3: About anybody close right, nobody dead on, but I can
23:16
Speaker 3: get pretty close to just about anybody.
23:19
Speaker 2: And so that's how I sort of did my thing.
23:21
Speaker 3: It almost became sort of the bit was sometimes I
23:25
Speaker 3: wasn't as close as I thought, and that.
23:27
Speaker 6: Even became funny.
23:28
Speaker 3: So that's what I sort of did on my radio show,
23:30
Speaker 3: and then I competed with John on different shows. Anyway,
23:34
Speaker 3: long story short, as soon as I get I might,
23:38
Speaker 3: I'm like, yes, let's do it. So I do the
23:39
Speaker 3: podcast with the two of them, and it didn't take
23:42
Speaker 3: but about fourteen seconds to realize I'm a.
23:45
Speaker 4: Little in over my head.
23:49
Speaker 3: Yeah, because John is just as good as Frank. John's
23:53
Speaker 3: just not as famous. John doesn't want to be famous.
23:56
Speaker 3: John is famous in Phoenix. So but they are just
23:59
Speaker 3: as they call each other and they're like, hey, I'm
24:01
Speaker 3: trying to get this down and I can't.
24:03
Speaker 6: What am I missing?
24:04
Speaker 3: So they will call each other and they'll figure it
24:06
Speaker 3: out and buy the I mean between the two of them,
24:08
Speaker 3: they can pretty much impersonate anybody. Anybody, male, female, doesn't
24:13
Speaker 3: even matter.
24:13
Speaker 6: Between the two of them.
24:15
Speaker 3: Uh yeah, it's crazy, and I've watched their process, but
24:18
Speaker 3: I sort of turned into like the straight guy that
24:20
Speaker 3: set them up, which was a blast. I mean, yeah,
24:24
Speaker 3: it was a blast, But I didn't really dust off
24:27
Speaker 3: many of my half ass impersonations in front of two masters.
24:31
Speaker 3: I mean, uh, it's like I used to make the
24:33
Speaker 3: joke on the air, It's like, hey, if Usher shows
24:36
Speaker 3: up at your you know, wedding.
24:40
Speaker 6: Party.
24:41
Speaker 3: What do they call that wedding reception? Yeah, if Usher
24:46
Speaker 3: shows up at your wedding reception, you don't dance.
24:49
Speaker 2: You don't go to the dance floor that day.
24:51
Speaker 4: You know, you just let him.
24:52
Speaker 2: Yeah, you just yeah, you just let him do his thing.
24:54
Speaker 7: Sense and know your role and stay in your lane.
24:58
Speaker 7: You're like a super utility the guys.
25:01
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, no power, but I think you have a
25:05
Speaker 2: little power.
25:06
Speaker 7: I think you have a little speed. You know, You're
25:08
Speaker 7: just you're not Ricky Henderson. Yeah, you're not Hank Aaron.
25:11
Speaker 2: Yeah.
25:11
Speaker 3: In the impersonation world, they were definitely the cal and
25:14
Speaker 3: Julio on the Rost.
25:16
Speaker 6: Okay, sure, all right, Well, there's room for greatness that
25:20
Speaker 6: it takes.
25:21
Speaker 8: It takes the team remember sounds like sounds.
25:24
Speaker 3: And then we had a podcast where we had as
25:27
Speaker 3: a guest Jay Farrow from Saturday Night Live. So arguably
25:30
Speaker 3: I was on a podcast with the three best voice
25:35
Speaker 3: impersonators in the world. And then they got into their
25:39
Speaker 3: their process for how they did the voices.
25:43
Speaker 2: Fascinating.
25:44
Speaker 3: Could have been a documentary series like how, how and
25:47
Speaker 3: how similar that they were on how they got into.
25:51
Speaker 2: Being able to do George Bush or whoever the case
25:53
Speaker 2: might be.
25:54
Speaker 3: So anyway, that's that's my background with Frank So uh
25:57
Speaker 3: he was on I think with Mark yesterday.
26:00
Speaker 2: He'll be on with us tomorrow at seven o'clock.
26:02
Speaker 6: So there you go. There's my story there.
26:04
Speaker 4: Thanks.
26:05
Speaker 3: All right, Well, we've gotten off to an odd start,
26:07
Speaker 3: certainly not the start that I had planned for us
26:10
Speaker 3: here on this Wednesday morning.
26:12
Speaker 2: Brady Quinn ruined that by being so charming and great
26:15
Speaker 2: on the air.
26:16
Speaker 3: But we started with Brady Quinn, if you're just joining us,
26:19
Speaker 3: and so we haven't even gotten to what's on tap
26:22
Speaker 3: for today's Wednesday show, So why don't we just go ahead.
26:25
Speaker 6: And do that?
26:25
Speaker 4: Yeah, what what's on TEP.
26:30
Speaker 6: What's on TEP?
26:31
Speaker 2: All right?
26:32
Speaker 3: Super Bowl Sunday, of course, is coming up three thirty
26:36
Speaker 3: this week, this Sunday, Seahawks versus Patriots.
26:39
Speaker 2: If there was any news from the Seahawks yesterday, it.
26:42
Speaker 3: Is that Chaz Zarot, the Special Team's demon, looks like
26:46
Speaker 3: he's healthy and you're going to be able to play
26:49
Speaker 3: in the Super Bowl. And all the insiders say, don't
26:52
Speaker 3: sleep on this activation because chas Rot is actually terrific
26:57
Speaker 3: in Special Team's coverage. So we'll talk about Greg that
27:00
Speaker 3: with Greg Bell today at nine o'clock, not at seven
27:03
Speaker 3: o five. At nine o'clock today, Greg Bell's going to
27:06
Speaker 3: be joining us here, our Seahawks insider. The Pro Bowl
27:10
Speaker 3: was last night. If you even want to call it
27:13
Speaker 3: that anymore, I'm not sure what you even call it.
27:17
Speaker 4: I don't know.
27:18
Speaker 7: I just called a bowl, right, we're getting ready for
27:20
Speaker 7: the Super Bowl. I would call that just there was
27:23
Speaker 7: a bowl last night.
27:25
Speaker 3: Dancing with the stars. It's more like dancing with the
27:27
Speaker 3: stars than it is football. Sixty six to fifty two
27:32
Speaker 3: the NFC one. I don't even know how they keep score,
27:35
Speaker 3: but sixty six to fifty maybe they just shoot hoops
27:38
Speaker 3: I'm not sure they do.
27:39
Speaker 2: They play basketball. I don't even know if they even
27:42
Speaker 2: want to use a football.
27:42
Speaker 6: I watched a grand total of zero.
27:44
Speaker 8: Second SI, I did watch it, you did, I did
27:47
Speaker 8: watch it. It was on TV two with no volume,
27:50
Speaker 8: so did I watch it? But it was actually flag football,
27:55
Speaker 8: which was surprising, and there was a lot of laughing.
28:00
Speaker 2: It usually happens in great sporting.
28:02
Speaker 8: Great sporting events.
28:06
Speaker 2: They participants giggling through and lots of.
28:11
Speaker 4: Like that.
28:11
Speaker 3: So that I missed it, you know, I mean, we
28:14
Speaker 3: want Ashley to be with us. It's the elephant in
28:17
Speaker 3: the room that she's back in Seattle with Jackson and
28:20
Speaker 3: Chris and all the rest of us are out here
28:22
Speaker 3: at Super Bowl for the coverage. But I've never felt
28:25
Speaker 3: worse for Ashley than right now. Bucky a taco bell
28:28

28:34
Speaker 3: Warriors game last night and watched them NBA basketball, uh.
28:38
Speaker 2: And Ashley watched the Pro Bowl. YEA, never felt worse

29:04
Speaker 8: I'm glad I finally got the sympathy and I once
29:06
Speaker 8: killed a drifter.
29:08
Speaker 7: Yeah, and that you felt a little bit bad for
29:11
Speaker 7: if you'd like, ash I mean, try to wash the
29:14
Speaker 7: visual of the Pro Bowl out of your eyes. I
29:16
Speaker 7: could send you a photo or a video of the
29:19
Speaker 7: waves crashing upon the taco bell.
29:21
Speaker 8: Essentially that I don't know that that would make me
29:24
Speaker 8: feel better.
29:25
Speaker 3: Okay, well I'm here you need Yeah, well, don't send
29:29
Speaker 3: us any photos of you watching the Pro Bowl because
29:31
Speaker 3: that would that's just yeah.
29:34
Speaker 8: It makes sense why I couldn't sleep last night.
29:36
Speaker 2: Yeah.
29:37
Speaker 4: Yeah.
29:37
Speaker 3: Now, let's see Hall of Fame announcement, by the way,
29:40
Speaker 3: is tomorrow. So they do that every year at the
29:43
Speaker 3: Super Bowl week, so we'll find out the entrance. We
29:46
Speaker 3: know it's not gonna be Bill Belichick. We know it's
29:48
Speaker 3: not going to be Robert Kraft, but tomorrow we will
29:50
Speaker 3: find out who the actual twenty twenty six class it's
29:55
Speaker 3: going to be for induction into the National Football League
29:58
Speaker 3: Hall of Fame. There in cam In, Ohio, believe it
30:01
Speaker 3: or not. The Olympics start in like four hours. Yeah,
30:08
Speaker 3: I mean talk about like getting lost in the weeds.
30:11
Speaker 3: I mean we're gonna be We're here right for Super
30:15
Speaker 3: Bowl Super Bowl Sunday, and then the following weekend, Bucky
30:20
Speaker 3: and I go to Arizona for spring training coverage, so
30:23
Speaker 3: we'll be home for five days and then we're off
30:26
Speaker 3: to spring training coverage. So baseball will start pretty much
30:30
Speaker 3: as soon as the football season ends. And yet here
30:34
Speaker 3: are the Olympics. Smack dab in our face. They're going
30:36
Speaker 3: to be curling today at ten oh five. The opening
30:39
Speaker 3: ceremonies aren't until Friday, but they always start events earlier
30:43
Speaker 3: in the week. They are starting today. The Olympics start today.
30:47
Speaker 3: Chris Egan has something to cover today.
30:49
Speaker 7: Right, Well, I mean, I think about how far the
30:52
Speaker 7: Pro Bowl has gone down where I you couldn't have
30:55
Speaker 7: paid me to watch it, and yet I'm super excited
30:57
Speaker 7: about Sweden versus Korea and watching the results of the
31:01
Speaker 7: mixed doubles curly that kicks off the Olympics here in
31:04
Speaker 7: a few.
31:05
Speaker 2: Minutes, Ashley, don't do that. That'll just make us sadder.
31:08
Speaker 3: Well, I know you're gonna watch a Stonia versus Switzerland
31:11
Speaker 3: because you're so sad.
31:12
Speaker 9: Yeah, I was gonna say, I don't know what's more
31:14
Speaker 9: sad that I watched the Pro Bowl or that I
31:15
Speaker 9: didn't know the Olympics started today.
31:18
Speaker 3: I think it's knuck up on every certainly everybody in Seattle.
31:21
Speaker 3: I mean I walk around Radio Row and there are
31:23
Speaker 3: other shows that are talking about things that aren't the
31:26
Speaker 3: Super Bowl because it hurts them too much to talk
31:29
Speaker 3: about their team not being in the Super Bowl. But
31:31
Speaker 3: I haven't heard anybody discussing the Olympics. I think it's
31:34
Speaker 3: snuck up on everybody except Chris Egan. Egan's very well
31:38
Speaker 3: prepared for this, and so yeah, whenter Olympics get started,
31:42
Speaker 3: opening ceremonies are coming up on Friday. Pitchers and catchers
31:45
Speaker 3: report for the Mariners in eight days. But there are
31:49
Speaker 3: pitchers and catchers in Major League Baseball that are going
31:51
Speaker 3: to report in six days. We are less than a
31:54
Speaker 3: week away from baseball season. We're less than a week
31:57
Speaker 3: away from cleats on concrete for goodness sake.
32:00
Speaker 6: Yeah, and I don't want to, you know, want it
32:02
Speaker 6: to overshadow.
32:03
Speaker 7: You know, this game, the super Bowl, it's kind of
32:05
Speaker 7: a big deal, but yeah, it's pretty much baseball season.
32:09
Speaker 8: Yeah, thanks for pressing that you didn't want to overshadow.
32:13
Speaker 6: I mean, I didn't want to. I don't want to
32:14
Speaker 6: put this totally on the back burner. But let's go
32:16
Speaker 6: ahead and get this game over.
32:17
Speaker 3: Yeah, let's try not to, let, you know, pitchers stretching
32:21
Speaker 3: overshadow the super Bowl.
32:23
Speaker 6: Yeah.
32:24
Speaker 9: I'm gonna try real hard to be a little bit
32:27
Speaker 9: excited about the super Bowl and.
32:29
Speaker 4: Not just you.
32:30
Speaker 7: That's what I was Seattle's going to be a lot
32:33
Speaker 7: of people are probably looking for a couple of weeks.
32:35
Speaker 6: Down the road.
32:36
Speaker 4: Yeah.
32:36
Speaker 2: Then again, Cal's going to be in uniform eight days.
32:39
Speaker 6: That's there.
32:40
Speaker 3: There is that NBA trading deadline is tomorrow. That's also
32:45
Speaker 3: uh thrust upon us. There were four big trades made
32:48
Speaker 3: yesterday in anticipation of the NBA trading deadline.
32:52
Speaker 6: We expect more.
32:53
Speaker 3: I don't know if the name's Giannis or John Morant
32:56
Speaker 3: or Zion Williamson or some of the others that are
32:58
Speaker 3: being discussed. The big name, so we'll come off the
33:01
Speaker 3: board between now and tomorrow at noon. But James Harden
33:05
Speaker 3: got traded yesterday to the Cleveland Cavaliers in exchange for
33:08
Speaker 3: Darius Garland. That was the biggest, or at least most discussed,
33:12
Speaker 3: of the four trades that were made yesterday. You dubs
33:14
Speaker 3: an action against Iowa today and college hoops and the
33:18
Speaker 3: Kraken loss to the Anaheim Mighty Ducks. Man, what a
33:20
Speaker 3: strange year it's been for our beloved Seattle Kraken. I mean,
33:24
Speaker 3: they win ten in a row, they lose ten in
33:26
Speaker 3: a row, and now they're trying to win ten in
33:28
Speaker 3: a row heading into this Olympic break, and yet they
33:32
Speaker 3: can't beat the Anaheim Mighty Ducks. I mean, you figure
33:35
Speaker 3: them out, because I cannot figure out our local hockey team.
33:38
Speaker 2: But four to two was the final score there last night.
33:41
Speaker 3: Coming up on the show today, we got a variety
33:44
Speaker 3: of guests including tyle Cott is going to join us
33:47
Speaker 3: at eight o'clock.
33:48
Speaker 2: Matt Hasselbeck will be with us. He's usually he's supposed
33:51
Speaker 2: to be.
33:51
Speaker 3: On number eight at eight, but we were trying to
33:53
Speaker 3: make room for both Tye and Matt Hasselbeck, so we're
33:56
Speaker 3: gonna do that in our eight o'clock hour today. Jermaine
33:59
Speaker 3: Wigg's former Patriot tight End, is going to join us.
34:03
Speaker 3: He now does radio for w e e I there
34:06
Speaker 3: in Boston, so he's gonna join us at nine thirty.
34:08
Speaker 3: So we're gonna get into some trash talking with Jermaine
34:12
Speaker 3: Wiggins as they call him Wiggy, and I hear he's
34:15
Speaker 3: pretty good at.
34:16
Speaker 2: It, so we might step lightly when talking trash to WIGGI.
34:20
Speaker 3: So that's coming up at nine thirty today, Plus we'll
34:23
Speaker 3: get reckless at breakfast and more.
34:25

36:08
Speaker 3: hear Super Bowl sixty right here on our radio station
36:12
Speaker 3: this Sunday at three point thirty with Kevin Harlan Jeans
36:14
Speaker 3: Sterotur and Kurt Warner on the call. I brought up
36:18
Speaker 3: a topic yesterday, and of course, because the point of
36:23
Speaker 3: the topic was Bucky Wig had Hugh and Mike Sando
36:27
Speaker 3: on and they're very literal people, and so the point
36:31
Speaker 3: of it was the legion of Boom Team versus the
36:37
Speaker 3: team currently constructed. And I just picked twenty fifteen because
36:41
Speaker 3: that was sort of in the heart of the Legion
36:43
Speaker 3: of Boom Team. But they and I understand why, they
36:48
Speaker 3: literally took it as the year twenty fifteen. So them
36:51
Speaker 3: coming off of the Super Bowl loss versus the team, now, well,
36:57
Speaker 3: that's not what I was after. What I was after
36:59
Speaker 3: is that team in twenty thirteen, like we discussed with
37:03
Speaker 3: Brady Quinn, versus this team right now and how they
37:07
Speaker 3: look in terms of, oh my gosh, what is brewing
37:09
Speaker 3: in Seattle? What are they building there? It might not
37:13
Speaker 3: just be a Super Bowl champion, It could be something
37:16
Speaker 3: more than that going beyond. And we're not gonna put
37:19
Speaker 3: the cart before the horse. We still just got to
37:21
Speaker 3: win the next football games. That's the goal and that's
37:24
Speaker 3: what we're setting out to do. But in terms of
37:26
Speaker 3: how they're constructed, how promising the future looks. I think
37:29
Speaker 3: it's a fascinating conversation before we know the result coming
37:33
Speaker 3: up on Sunday. And so all that said, I love
37:39
Speaker 3: Brady Quinn's answer because sometimes you get caught prisoner of
37:42
Speaker 3: the moment and he's like, I don't think that this defense,
37:45
Speaker 3: as good as it is under Mike McDonald, is as
37:47
Speaker 3: good as that one, and I don't think we can
37:49
Speaker 3: forget that. And I will agree with him on that.
37:52
Speaker 3: I don't think they've proven enough. But on the flip side,
37:56
Speaker 3: I think this team is constructed so much better.
38:00
Speaker 2: Than what that team was.
38:03
Speaker 3: You know where they are right now versus where that
38:06
Speaker 3: team was in twenty thirteen, and not just because of talent,
38:10
Speaker 3: but the mentality, the type of football player that they've
38:14
Speaker 3: brought in in the last three years under John Schneider.
38:18
Speaker 3: I think that this team does not face the same
38:22
Speaker 3: sort of inner fighting. I don't think that that's going
38:25
Speaker 3: to occur with this team. I think they're better set
38:28
Speaker 3: up for a run. Here where some people nationally are discussing,
38:34
Speaker 3: how oh, this is the one.
38:35
Speaker 2: Chance for Mike mcgaughugh, you better win it this year.
38:38
Speaker 2: I'm like, you were out of your mind.
38:40
Speaker 3: This should be the beginning of some really special stretch
38:43
Speaker 3: because of the young talent that they have gathered and
38:46
Speaker 3: the type of football player that they have focused on
38:49
Speaker 3: getting here.
38:50
Speaker 6: Yeah.
38:51
Speaker 7: Well, I mean, I mean, I'm with you on the
38:54
Speaker 7: on the thought of it seems like you're just cracking,
38:58
Speaker 7: you know, cracking the bottle on this bad boy that that. Yes,
39:01
Speaker 7: I mean, I don't think there's anyway I mean, barring
39:04
Speaker 7: some weird injuries or you know, some sudden retirement of
39:09
Speaker 7: a bunch of guys. I mean, I think right now
39:11
Speaker 7: this team is poised for a run to be obviously
39:16
Speaker 7: contenders in the division, you know, be contenders for that
39:20
Speaker 7: number one seed like they achieved this year. And yet
39:23
Speaker 7: it's crazy difficult to run the gauntlet to get to the.
39:26
Speaker 2: Super you know, to get take anything for grant, Yeah,
39:29
Speaker 2: you can't.
39:29
Speaker 7: I mean, the idea of saying dynasty before they've won
39:32
Speaker 7: one is premature, but it kind of feels like they
39:37
Speaker 7: win this one, you're going to be thinking about, well,
39:40
Speaker 7: we expect, maybe don't expect, but you're feeling pretty good
39:44
Speaker 7: about your chances of coming back to this situation and
39:48
Speaker 7: being back in this place again. And so I mean,
39:50
Speaker 7: the construction of the whole thing. I you know, it
39:54
Speaker 7: felt like the it felt like the end was a
39:58
Speaker 7: lot further out than it was, and the end came
40:01
Speaker 7: rushing right up Perry's faces after that Super Bowl loss, right,
40:06
Speaker 7: And so I don't know for I think Mike McDonald
40:09
Speaker 7: has everyone rowing in the right direction, but so did
40:11
Speaker 7: Pete leading up to and through.
40:14
Speaker 6: The first one.
40:15
Speaker 7: Through the first one, I mean, it was that's when
40:18
Speaker 7: whatever they were, alright, if there was in fighting going on,
40:21
Speaker 7: then they they obviously were keeping it under wraps, and
40:24
Speaker 7: they couldn't keep it under wraps after that play.
40:26
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was already brewing.
40:28
Speaker 3: There are a lot of stories out there where I
40:30
Speaker 3: don't hear that at all out of this team, true whatsoever.
40:33
