• 0:01
  Speaker 1: The volume. What is going on everybody? How are we doing?
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: John Middlecoff Three and Out Podcasts brought to you by
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: my friends at Zone Pouches. Hopefully everyone is doing well.
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: Maybe as well as the Seattle Seahawks, who are the
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: number one overall seed in the NFC. Probably not as
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: well as the forty nine Ers who did not look good,
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: who got destroyed physically mentally and probably lost some players
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: to injuries because that's usually what happens, and are now
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: probably going to be the sixth seed. I'm recording this
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: late Saturday night. If the Rams win, Rams will be
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: five nine or six Seattle one. Now, the NFC West
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: is a little different than the other division that we
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: saw today, which felt kind of like a preseason game
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: that was that was tough to watch. So we'll talk
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: to the majority about the Niner Seattle game again, just
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: crowding achievement for Sam, John Schneider, Mike McDonald, pretty cool
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: moment for that franchise, and rough night for the Niners. Wow, jeez.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: We'll talk a little bit about the other game, but
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: not much. I got a theory that not a theory,
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: but a take that I think needs to get instituted.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: Moving forward when it comes to under five hundred division champs.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: So make sure you subscribe to the podcast, make sure
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: you subscribe to the YouTube, and we'll be back again
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: Sunday night after the almost Ravens Steeler game. Looks like
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: the mar Is gonna play, looks like TJ. Watt's gonna play. Exciting,
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: but let's just dive right into Seattle. Give them the
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: flowers because the Seattle Seahawks accomplished an incredible feat tonight,
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: becoming the number one seed. Leading up to Week one,
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: they were a five to one underdog to win the division.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: The forty nine ers were favored. Obviously things changed throughout
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: the course of the season with their injuries, but still,
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: I mean, they have Kyle Shanahan, they got Robert Sala,
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: They were favored to win it. And right there with
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: them was the Los Angeles Rams and the Seattle Seahawks
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: with Sam Darnold, second year coach Mike McDonald, and future
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: Hall of Fame general manager John Schneider are the number
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: one set. Right before I hopped on here, I googled,
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: which is essentially AI, and I said, when was the
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: last time Seattle hosted a playoff game? And that was
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: twenty seventeen. The Seattle Seahawks, who early on in Pete
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: Carroll's tenure, was I would say one of the best
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: teams in the league. Well, people forget those last several
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: years of Russell Wilson, even when he was playing pretty well.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: They were going on the road. They have not hosted
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: a playoff game where it is an extremely tough place
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: to play. Is a massive home field advantage. One of
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: the really like I would say, a short list of
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: teams the would say have a collegiate feel in almost
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: a decade. And they deserved it because they dominated the
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: Niners tonight. They dominated him. Honestly, at half when it
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: was ten to three, I went, the Niners should be,
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: you know, doing cartwheels that this is a one score game.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: The Niners had three first downs in the first half,
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: Seattle four xem on first downs. They almost had two
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: hundred yards of offense in the first half. And here's
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: the thing. The forty nine Ers had been playing the
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: last couple of weeks teams with no defense, and they
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: eviscerated them and tonight, and I've been saying this for
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: a while. Mike McDonald, if he was an offensive coach
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: would be one of the toe of the league. But
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: he's a defensive guy, and we just celebrate offense more.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: We just do. I mean, the league is built and
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: the business is built now around offense. You are completely
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: screwed as a defensive player when it comes to you know,
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: no matter how great you are, you don't get as
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: much credit as the offensive guys. Obviously, from a playing
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: standpoint and the officiating standpoint, you're at a huge disadvantage.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: And we talk a ton. I mean, obviously, Andy'd been
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: toasted the league for the last half decade in Kyle
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: and McVeigh and all the other offensive guys around the
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: league we talk about and I'm guilty as anybody NonStop,
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: but i haven't beaten the drum for this guy. He's
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: elite and now his record and his ability against Kyle
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: Shanahan kind of speaks for itself. I mean, the forty
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: nine ers offense is built on running the ball. I
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: think probably with him the last year, Jay Gruden, you know,
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: former NFL coach, John's brother, came on this show and
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: we were just bsa talking football and we talked about
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan, that offense, and he said, from a pure
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: passing standpoint, that's not what they do. Like, no one
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: studies their offense for just drop back passing. It is
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: an offense going back to his father, which ironically Clint Kubiak,
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: who's now the offensive coordinator for Seattle, who's the son
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: of Gary who played for Mike Shanahan, coach for Mike Shanahan.
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: Kyle played for the Kubiak might as well. That family
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: might as well be the cousins of the Shanahan. The
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: entire offense is predicated on running the ball, and when
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: you can run the ball, you dominate in the passing
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: game because the majority of their passes, if your quarterback
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: is just competent, are layups. And then it's the NFL,
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: so obviously they are gonna be plays where you have
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: to make. But how many times to night Sam Darnold
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: on these boots is he just dumping it off? Because
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: that's the job in this offense. And when you can
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: run the ball, as Kubiak and see did the night
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: they had one hundred and eighty yards on the ground,
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: you removed the nine yards Sam Darnold had. Their two
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: running backs went for one hundred and seventy one yards.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: They dominated on the ground. Meanwhile, the forty nine ers,
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: who you know, coming into this game, I would say
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey's widely considered not just one of the best
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: running backs in the league, one of the best players.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: Had eight carries for twenty three yards. They had twelve
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: carries for fifty three yards. If you told me the
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: forty nine ers are gonna have a game where they
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: get twelve carries and they're playing a team like Seattle,
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: who has a good defense, they're gonna have no chance
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: to win. Also, if you would have told me that
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: the forty nine ers would have three points, I'd be like,
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: I bet Purty throws a bunch of interceptions. That was
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: not the case, right, He obviously had the one at
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: the goal line where McCaffrey dropped it. But like perty
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: was fine, Like it wasn't Like he wasn't their problem.
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: They can't run the ball. When they can't run the ball,
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: their offense does not work. They're not built the play
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: life that and Mike McDonald now and like it wasn't
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: like he was at home last week. They played on
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: the road, had to fly across the country, and they
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: physically manhandled the forty nine ers shoved them around. It
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: felt like every time they tackled them, guys went backwards.
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: Treykeman even said it on a late run by McCaffrey,
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: it looks like he's running into a brick wall. He
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: has nowhere to go. Even if you put Barry Sanders
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: in there tonight, maybe he gave us a couple more
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: yards juking a guy out, But there was no green grass.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: And the way this team was built physically from a
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: defensive standpoint, I mean all their DB's hit. You can't
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: be a physical defense in my opinion, just based off
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: your defensive line. Your secondary has to hit and Seattle.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: The team that they are going to be remembered for
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: forever is the lob Seattle Seahawks, right one A super
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: Bowl went to another well. Part of the reason that
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: defense was so feared, and I think they led the
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: league in scoring defense four years in a row because
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: their secondary hit like they were Ray Lewis or Bryan Orlecker.
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: Obviously Earl Thomas and Camp Chancellor, but Earl Richard Sherman,
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: to me, is the greatest tackling cornerback I'd ever seen.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: And that's the way these guys play. Now the forty
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: nine Ers DB's hit two. It's honestly the only reason
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: their defense had a shot because their defensive backs tackle,
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: their d line can't really do much right, and obviously
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: their linebackers. I mean, by the end of the game,
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: they're playing with guys that were free agents like three
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: weeks ago. But Seattle deserved to win tonight. They manhandled
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: this game from the jump. They went right down the
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: field on the first drive of the game, and honestly,
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: I thought Mike went for it on fourth down because
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: everyone's kind of been saying, right, you're too conservative, and
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: he's playing Kyle Shanahan, who their offense had been I
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: think what, scored ten touchdowns in the last two weeks,
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: so he's thinking like, hey, we got to score touchdowns,
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: and it backfired, and then I think the next couple
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: drives he realized, we don't need to play this way.
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: I need to do exactly what I've been doing, be conservative.
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: Because the forty nine Ers offense, best case, was gonna
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: get to the low teens. It was not gonna be
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: a game when they scored many points their defensive line.
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: I mean that last play of the game, technically the
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: last play of the game for the forty nine ers.
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: I thought brock Perty was murdered. He honestly, I thought, like,
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: how did he just shatter his entire lower body? And
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: all night long they beat the shit out of them.
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: They hit him over and over and over again. And
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: when they didn't hit him anyone he threw to they
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: destroyed and help. Kittle's a good example. Typically in a game,
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: George and he had five catches for thirty yards. Typically
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: he's more like five or six, four seventy and of
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: those seventy, maybe thirty or thirty five or forty or
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: after the catch, because he'll break a tackle, he'll run
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: over dB, he'll throw a linebacker to the side that
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: was not taking place. Tonight, Seattle showed up to just
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: shove the Niners around, and Mike McDonald owned Kyle Shanahan
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: to night. Kyle had no answers. The forty nine Ers
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: had one good drive ended on a freak interception, but
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: they had one good drive all night long, and it
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: was a big play by Kittle, big play by Perty's legs,
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: a big play by Juwan Jennings interception. Game over. It
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: happened that fast. It was thirteen to three, like Okay,
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: the forty nine Er score here, thirteen to ten, low scoring,
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: weird game, anything's possible. Ten minutes left in the game,
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: interception happened, game over happened like that, And honestly, the
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: Niners were extreme fortunate to be in that position. Right
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: Myers had missed a field goal, they had gone forward
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: on fourth down, you know, down deep in the red zone.
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: You look at the statistics. To me, the staff that
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: jumps out the most is they had twenty three first downs.
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: The forty nine Ers had nine. That is a crazy statistic.
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: The Niners offense had nine first downs, they only had
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: three in the first half. They only had six in
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: the second half, and four of them came on the
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: one fucking drive. I mean it was I mean, from
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: a Mike McDonald's standpoint, what was online to be the
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: number one overall seed like a picasso like that was
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: chef kiss moment on the season for him. I mean,
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: what a what a performance from his unit, from his
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: team to come on the road and listen, you know,
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: the forty nine Ers defense is terrible. It's it's no
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: one's fault. It is what it is. It's a personnel standpoint.
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: You argue their best defensive player is a fifth round
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: one hundred and sixty pound rookie slot corner. But they
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: still have a lot of pride. They are still extremely
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: well coached and to just dominate this game. And I
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: think we also learned this the last couple of weeks.
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: The forty nine ers had beat teams where they could
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: just outscore them. It's almost like, if you're a basketball team,
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: we're gonna get into games where it's like one hundred
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: and thirty, one hundred and twenty. We're comfortable in that environment.
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: But if the game gets like in the high eighties
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: or low nineties, which I haven't watched much NBA this year,
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: but I don't think that happens anymore. Back in my day,
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: get off my lawn moment used to happen a lot. Hell,
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: there used to be like NBA Finals in the seventies
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: and in eighties the Spurs used to do it a lot.
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: But are you comfortable playing in those games? Do you
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: have a good defense? And it turned out tonight the
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: forty nine ers are not comfortable playing in a low
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: scoring game because that means their defense gonna be on
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: the field and the time of possession of thirty seven
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: to twenty two, technically thirty eight to twenty two. If
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: you I'm gonna round up in Roundown. I mean that
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: says it all. Because Seattle Charbona and Kenneth Walker. I
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: guess Seattle fans are down on Kenneth Walker. I know
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: he can be a little hit or miss. I've always
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: had a soft spot for him. After his performance at
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: Michigan State got mel Tucker an extension before he got
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: caught having sexual relations with the chick. That speaks to
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: the team about being careful about having sexual relations. But
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: that's a conversation for a different day. Again, consensual a thought,
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: but again I don't even care. But got mil Tucker
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: fired for cause not ideal when he had a ninety
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: five million dollar contract because of Kenneth Walker. Sharbone definitely
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: always liked him. It was it was extremely impressive, it
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: really was. And let's face it, like, you know, Coach
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: of the Year Kyle Shanahan had a ton of momentum.
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: Mike McDonald just destroyed that. Like, Kyle Shanner's not winning
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: Coach of the Year now, He's just not And you
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: can be like, you can't, No, he's not winning Coach
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: of the Year, especially if Ben Johnson wins tomorrow and
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: Mike Rabel wins tomorrow and they're both the two seed,
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: one of those two guys are getting it, you know,
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: if not, they split it. But it ended at night
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: for Kyle Shannon. And there also was a play tonight
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: on a fourth down where the game was seven to
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: nothing and they ran a play action play that was
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: a shot to Kittle that they never showed the replay
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: on ESPN, but it was clear it was gonna be
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: play action. McCaffrey go to eighty five and I don't
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: know if the safety and the corner both ran with Kittle.
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: I don't know if just the safety covered and Brock
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: was afraid to throw a fifty to fifty ball, But
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: clearly the play did not work, and it was an
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: extremely bad play call to have one option and then
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: perty ends up dumping it off and it doesn't even
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: get close to the first down. And so many times
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: a night they ran plays, and this is why they
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: didn't have that many first downs where even if the
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: guy I guess against like the team like the Bears,
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: maybe a Juwan Jennings or DeMarcus Robinson or even a
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: George Kittle or us check can break a tackle and
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: get a first down. But you can't do that against Seattle.
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: They were just too good of a tackling team. Honestly,
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: it reminded me a lot of Indiana and Miami over
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: the course of the last several days, how they play defense.
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: Not just open field tackling, but when I tackle you,
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: you're gonna fucking feel it. And you know, that's where
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: the GM gets a lot of credit for drafting those players,
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: for getting the right type guys. And one thing they
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: know is this goes back to the Lob days. They
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: know the type guys from a physicality standpoint, from a
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: mindset standpoint, that play like that, and the forty nine
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: ers do too. They just they're all in the boxes
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: because they got broken ankles or you know, broken knees.
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: So it was it was a masterclass tonight on defense.

• 17:49
  Speaker 1: taking a lot of heat and listen. I said it
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: coming into this game, advantage forty nine ers at quarterback. Honestly,
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: I thought it was a big advantage. Sam Darnold had
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: a of interceptions Aikman mentioned tonight, a lot of them
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: come on third down led the league. And he had
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: six fumbles, so he has twenty overall turnovers. Now, I
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: texted a buddy this week, some of those fumbles, at
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: least that I've seen when I've been on my couch
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: watching football on Sundays, have been when he's getting hit
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: it from behind. So it's like he gets crushed for
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: fumble turnovers. But if I'm about to throw and someone
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: destroys me and the ball comes out, is that really
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: my fault? Or is it one of the offensive lineman's fault?
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: I tend to blame the offensive lineman. But who knows,
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: maybe quarterback coach or a coordinator or the head coach
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: would tell me different. But still like numbers of the numbers.
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: He had twenty turnovers, I thought tonight, and again he
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: played in a Shanahan Kubiak offense night, You'd be like, well,
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: who's numbers are not that great? He didn't throw for that.
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: That's winning football when your team is built like this
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: and you go twenty of twenty six. I thought he
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: only really made one questionable throw the entire night, and
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: that was late in the game. He was rolling to
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: his left. He throws it to Smith and Jigba. He
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: kind of overthrows it a little bit, but it was
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: so close to the sideline. Ernardo Green technically caught it
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: or picked it off, but he was so far out
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: of bounds it didn't even matter. Now at that time,
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: you're like, hey, man, we can't play our balls. Next
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: play they call a run, They're like, hey, we're not
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: even messing with it. But over the course of the game,
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: I thought precise accurate on time in command. I do
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: think over the course of the season, it's definitely the
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: second half of the season. He gets a little sped
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: up and he can be a little erratic. That's kind
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: of the knock on him going back to the end
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: of last year. He just gets frenetic, right, And that's
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: usually what that's the difference between the great quarterbacks. Always
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: under control, always poised, always calm, and when Sam gets
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: a little off kilter, like any quarterback that's not an elite,
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: elite all time, you can start feeling them getting frenetic.
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: Anyone that plays golf, when you start kind of pressing,
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: you start going fast, and it gets worse. No different
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: with the quarterback and his feet. Sat a couple of
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: times with perty tonight because he starts hearing footsteps. Don't
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: even blame him. But you can't play like that. You
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: have to be calm, and I thought for the most
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: part he was really really calm, did a great job,
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: took what was there, was accurate, made some really good
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: throws down the middle of the field, and listen. It
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: doesn't end the questions like I wouldn't put, you know,
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: ten thousand dollars on him to win playoff games. I
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: would still be a little nervous. But if they can
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: play in games where they can dictate the terms, and
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: if They're gonna run the ball like that. They can
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: win the NFC. They can run the ball like that. Now,
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: some of these defenses will see how the you know,
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: the scheduling breaks and who wins and who they end
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: up playing in the first round, But like that is
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: their formula. Run the ball, have Donald throw under thirty
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: times and play defense. And I think they would tell you,
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: if we can play games where Donald has less than
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: thirty attempts, we can win the Super Bowl. If we
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: play in a game where he's got to have forty
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: plus attempts, it's probably gonna be hard for us to
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: win that game, or just could get weird, right, And
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: this goes back to I'll never forgets. A buddy told
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: me that was with the Jets, that when SLA interviewed,
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: they liked Sam Darnald and they said they thought they
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: could win with Sam Darnald, and he was bringing Lafleur
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: from the forty nine ers, and the mindset was gonna
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: be around the offense, running the Shanahan offense, which Seattle does,
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: which obviously the forty nine ers do, is playing games, dominate,
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: running the ball, build a good defense, and have him
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: play where his pass attempts are between twenty five and
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: thirty and in those twenty five to thirty, seventy five
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: percent of them are gonna be relatively easy throws, as
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: you saw a lot of times a night, and then
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: they're gonna be ten to fifteen percent, or he's just
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: gonna have to make a play, and he did tonight.
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: It's why this offense is so good. When you run
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: the ball, now, you're not always gonna run it for
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: you know, four and a four point six yards of
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: carry and just the ease in which they did tonight.
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: But if you can run forty times for one hundred
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: and fifty yards, if you can control the clock and
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: you have a good defense, it's a formula that has
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: worked since the sixties the seventies, still works today, and
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: it will always work no matter how much you want
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: to get pass happy. And here's the other thing with Seattle, like,
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: there's a decent chance you get a rainy game, So
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: whoever you are playing, you're probably not gonna throw it
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: for three hundred fifty yards rain win could be cold.
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: The Elements play in their style of football. If I'm them,
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: I want it to be shitty weather. That translates that
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: will work now depends on who they play. If they
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: do get into a situation where they're down, anything's possible,
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: because obviously eleven is an elite player. But they do
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: depend a lot on you know, older Cooper cup who
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: made a nice catch, a nice play tonight. And they're
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: running backs. I mean Walker at sixteen carries Charboney at seventeen,
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: Walker had four catches, so he had twenty touches. Charbonay
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: at three, so they had forty touches with their two
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: running backs. Like that, that was McDonald's gonna get a
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: lot of credit because the defense dominated rightfully so but
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: Koubiak tonight that that was in front of you know,
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: I'm sure one of his mentors. Like I said, family
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: cousin essentially had to feel pretty good, had to feel
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: really really good. And congrats to Seattle fourteen and three
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: signing Sam Darnold. This offseason, let's face it pretty polarizing.
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: There were a lot of people, I think the analytical
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: community up until a couple of weeks ago, was trying
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: to tell everyone Geno Smith is good. Gino Smith's a
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: great story, resurrected his career, ended up making a bunch
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: of money helped Seattle get to the playoffs post Russell Wilson.
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: If you're trying to tell me Geno Smith is a
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: good player, I don't know what tell you. If you
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: want Geno Smith to be your starting quarterback in twenty
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: twenty five, Like, I don't know what to tell you
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: Sam Donald's dramatic upgrade. Like I watched Geno Smith play
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: the forty nine ers a lot look like shit every time,
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: I mean, terrible, terrible, and Sam donaldnight, I mean, was
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: in the driver's seat for that bad boy. I don't
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: want to say like led them, but was a big
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: part of it. Made some big time plays and honestly,
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: they could have put it on. I think everyone thought, like,
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: oh they're Sam. Those first couple of plays in the
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: red zone and the first drive of the game, which
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: I'm not gonna argue weren't good, But over the course
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: of the rest of the game, I thought he was
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: really good. I thought he was really good and if
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: he plays well, this team is one hundred percent of contender.
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: And the forty nine ers, like, I didn't think perty
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: was that bad. He was nineteen to twenty seven. A
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: couple of those incompletions late in the game at one
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: point in time, he was like nineteen to twenty five
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: or nineteen to twenty three. He was pretty accurate. They
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: didn't have the ball that often. I mean, how many
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: plays did they run the night they had forty two?
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: Seattle had twenty five more plays. The forty nine ers
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: ran forty two plays. They just they could never get
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: in the position where it's like third and one. It
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: always felt like it was third and four, third and five.
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: They're so dependent on Kendrick Bourne and DeMarcus Robinson. In
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: fairness to Marcus, Robinson made a couple of plays to Night,
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: three catches for twenty four yards. I think he had
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: a couple first downs. But when McCaffrey, I don't even
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: want to blame him, but just was not really a factory.
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: Night had some catches, some dump downs, but that that interception,
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: like that's that's one of those where you know it
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: goes on Purties record, But I know the ball was
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: tipped and a little behind him. I think he'd be
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: the first to tell you I have to catch that
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: one hundred out of one hundred times. Now you could
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: argue it's a little freaky when he drops it. Brooks
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: is right there catches it, which is a nice defensive play.
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: Seattle's executives all go nuts up there in the suite,
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: But that was a killer. I mean that that felt
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: like a nail in the back of the cranium. It's like,
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: this thing's fucking this thing's a rap. And he just
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: he was a guy who wasn't gonna win the MVP.
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: But if they were gonna win this game, they were
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: gonna need an MVP type performance from him. They were
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: gonna need him to be brilliant and dominate, break tackles,
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: be like superhuman. And maybe it's just because the accumulation
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: of the amount of carries and touches he's had this season,
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: and Pharnasey's had to have him, they've had to play
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: like they've been like. I mean, they won a game
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: last week forty two to thirty eight. The previous week,
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: Philip Rivers threw like multiple touchdowns. They scored twenty seven
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: the cole scored twenty seven points. I mean, their defense
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: is awful that they can't stop anybody. They They did
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: sack Dornold a couple of times, so they end the
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: season with twenty sacks at least the regular season, which
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: is gonna be last in the league. They don't gain
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: pressure the one time they blitz and it works. D Winners.
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: I thought he originally tore his achilles. I think he
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: just rolled his ankle really bad, but was right there.
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: And that's where like the blitz was perfectly called. The
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: offensive lineman split like the red Sea, hold right up
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: the gut. D Winners, who's a really good athlete, fires
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: right through. And you see this happen a lot, especially
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: with like Lamar or Kyler, the high end running quarterbacks.
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: They make those guys miss. But Donald's a solid athlete.
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: There has to be some sort of like in basketball,
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: when you sprint up to a guy, you don't just
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: run right through him. Once you get close, you kind
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: of shuffle your feet, you break down like D Winner,
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: he cannot run away from D Winners. But if D
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: Winner is gonna run in a vertical line full speed,
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: which I guess D Winner is probably like a four
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: to six guy, so he's hauling ass, all Seam has
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: to do is move over and then the D Winners
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: rolls his ankles probably out for the season, seem runs
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: for a first down. That's where obviously you see it
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: countless other times. But Fred Warner is the best blitzing
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: linebacker in the league. That is a seven or eight
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: yard sack. If it's Fred Warner, well it's his backup
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: or a backup, you know, d Winners technically like a
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: rotational starter, depending on who's healthy. But withfs, Donald goes
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: and I think you saw that constantly tonight of just
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: guys flying around that probably shouldn't be out there, but
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: you don't have a choice, and they're just not good enough.
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: And this is I would say, you know, in college,
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: next man up pre nil at places like Georgia, Bama, Texas,
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: Oregon and all the good schools, next man up could
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: be like a five star ret refreshman. So like, yeah,
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: we don't know who this is. Turns out as Tyron Matthew,
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: turns out as uh, you know, Kyle Pitts. Fuck who knows?
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: It could be great players. That's not the case in
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: the NFL. It's just not there's a huge drop off
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: for backups. Trent Williams is a twelve time pro bowler.
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: Austin Pleas has never started a game in his NFL career.
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: Clearly there is a drop off. Trent Williams. If I
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: tied his legs together, you know, probably could be fifty
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: percent of that guy. It's not even it's not even comparable, right,
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: it's not even the forty nine ers wide receiver group listen.
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: Ricky pearsall is is an incredible story. He got shot
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: at point blank, point blank range. The doctor, I think
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: it's Stanford Medical, said like ninety plus or maybe it
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: was like ninety five plus percent in that area. Die
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: it kills you. He lived, fought him off, refused to
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: give up his sub mariner. Fuck yeah, Ricky. But so
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: it's like there's no one disputing his toughness again, thought
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: off a point blank glock to the chest, not only
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: lived to tell about it, came back and played in
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: the NFL as a rookie. But this year they're very
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: dependent on Ricky Pierso. Why Ricky Pierso is a good player,
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: high end player see Seattle. If Seattle had him healthy
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: with Jackson Smith, their offense would be elite. Like he
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: is a impact player, especially in the Shanahan offense. But
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: he gets injured all the time. If you're removed the
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: gunshot situation. When he showed up the forty nine ers
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: he had a shoulder, He's had hamstring. He's obviously dealt
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: with a knee. Even the day when his injury said
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: knee slash ankle. I get it, Trent Freak injury running
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: down a guy he's not used to running full speed
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: hell cross the starting left tackle for the Seattle Shawks
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: as a hamstring. It happens, big guy, That's nothing you
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: can do about it. The Ricky Pearsall situation really bit
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: the Niners in the as tonight because you felt it offensively,
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: especially against that secondary where you need a little juice.
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: Juwan Jennings is an excellent player. He is a winning
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: he's a he's a he's what I call war daddy. Listen,
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: I don't know what he's saying when he's talking shit
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: to people. Some people think he's crossing the line. One
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: dude on the Browns called him ahoe this year. He
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: just said, hey, I'm just talking. Tonight, he took a
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: guy for a ride into the into the gatorade buckets.
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: He pisses people off, but he's a player. But if
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: you're depending on him be your number one wide receiver,
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: it's gonna be really hard at the highest level. It
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: really is he's not fast enough, so you need speed
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: and just playmaking ability outside of him, right And they
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: just didn't have that tonight. And a big reason is
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: Ricky Pearsol. They drafted him in the first round, in
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: the first freaking round. Meanwhile, the first rounds players for
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: the other team, Like you're really feeling the North Dakota
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: State offensive lineman Witherspoon's hitting like he's Richard Sherman. They
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: were fucking laying the lumber, which I love. I mean,
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: I love violence in terms of watching it. I'm not
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: a violent individual, don't have much violence in me. I'm
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: not the biggest guy, but I gravitate toward violence, especially
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: in this sport. Love watching it. My favorite teams are violent,
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: physical teams. It's why, Listen, I got married in Nashville,
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: but I haven't spend that much time in the South.
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: But I've gravitated to the SEC over the past ten, twelve,
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: fifteen year why it's the most violent conference. I love
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: violent football teams, and Seattle is and when they're playing
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: like that, they're they're really really hard to be and
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: the Niners just couldn't match it. They're not built like
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: that right now, and they're guys. I don't know if
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: they were clearly McCaffrey's running empty a little bit. You know,
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: Kittle's just he's a badass. He's playing through an ankle injury.
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: They just had no juice. Perty's getting hit like he's
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: you know, their defensive lines Anthony Joshua, and he's Jake
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: Paul every play, Like Jesus, get is Brock dead? You know,
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: when Jake Paul got hit in the mouth and he
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: went down, You're like, is he gonna get up? That's
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: that's how I felt in the last play, like is Brock?
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: And then I looked at my wife, I'm like, well,
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: they have a game next week? Yeah, miss is it?
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: Mac Jones starting the playoff game? And then Brock got
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: up and his hands bleed and he limping off, and
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: like Jesus, this is one of those games where the
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: whole team's gonna be in the ice bat tomorrow. And
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: that's let's go big picture here. I don't I think
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: they're in trouble. I mean, there's no way around it.
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: They are a team not built to just rattle off
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: victories on the road. And if they get Philadelphia, who
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: you know, offense a little like Seattle. It's not great now,
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: you would say top to bottom, they got more impactful
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: players AJ Brown, Devonte Smith, Saquon Goddard, which I don't
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: care how hit or miss they're play calling, and Jalen
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: can be in the passing game. You can just score
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: some touchdowns on the Niners defense, and you definitely can
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: run it on them. But that's a tough game. And
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: Kettle mentioned it tonight, He's like the hard part for us.
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: We're a West Coast team, so if we have to
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: play Chicago or even farther Philly, we got a long
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: ass flight. And that's what a huge advantage it was
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: for Seattle, both their flights if they go on the
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: If Seattle had to go play Philly or had to
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: go play Carolina or Tampa, even those teams are easy,
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: the Rams more likely they're gonna have to play Carolina
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: or Tampa. It's a long ass flight. I've made. It sucks,
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: it takes forever, and I'm just doing something I don't
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: know vacation, well, I don't even know why. I haven't
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: necessarily made it from LA to Tampa, but I've flown
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: across country a bunch of times, lived in Philadelphia, flown
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: from Florida out to the West Coast. You're on the
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: plane forever. I just flew this year to before a
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: football season to White It was like a five hour
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: and twenty minute flight from Sky Harbor to Maui and
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: like two hour three hours in. I'm like, how much
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: longer do we have? You look down, it's like two hours.
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: I was just going there to booze and swim, not
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: playing a football game. So it's it's hard. That's why
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: it was such. That's why this game was so huge
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: for whoever won it because of the advantage. Clearly, you
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: get the buys massive, but the travel aspect of the
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: playoffs for these teams when the other teams that are
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: making the playoffs are way far away, right, So if
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: you're Seattle never had to leave, I mean, and your
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: home field advantage huge. The rest component, you know, again,
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: it's hard. I haven't even you have to know who
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: wins to even know who they're gonna play. I mean,
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: they could go anywhere from the Rams to you know,
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: who knows. Mate would have Green Bay upsets Chicago, which
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: I don't think is gonna happen, but if it does,
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: it's happened before when Green Bay upset Dallas a couple
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: of years ago, it doesn't even matter. They're coming to
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: you and they've just played more than likely a knocked in, knockdown,
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: drag out game. Meanwhile, the forty nine Ers, I would guess,
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: probably play next Sunday, probably Sunday one o'clock in Philadelphia. Again,
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: you want to see the matchups to kind of know,
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: but that that would probably be my guest right now,
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: because I saw Peter Schrager thinking that the Monday night
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: game will be whoever wins tomorrow Ravens or Steelers hosting
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: probably the Houston Texans. And my guess with the forty
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: nine Ers even either play that first game. You know,
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: they showed the thing tonight, Fox, CBS, Amazon. We just
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: don't know who has what. But there's always an NFC
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: game either on Sunday morning or Sunday afternoon for us,
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: you know, on the West coast ten o'clock or one o'clock.
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: I would guess Philly Niners would be one o'clock. I
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: don't know if the AFC would have a better game
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: than that, and I could see Buffalo Jacksonville at ten am. Again,
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: could be totally off on this that would just be
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: way too early, guests, But I just don't. I mean,
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: I think it would be a miracle right now if
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: the forty nine ers won to one playoff game, and
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: I think that'd be an incredible accomplishment. You could argue
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: going twelve and five and making the playoffs with that roster.
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: I mean, part of the reason they're twelve to five.
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: Forty Niners beat Seattle in Seattle, they beat the Rams
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: in Los Angeles. Those are two of their wins and
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: obviously one of the craziest games they've ever had against
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: the Chicago Bears, who've had an incredible season, and Chicago
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: wins tomorrow. What are they thirteen win team? I don't
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: want to get that wrong Chicago right now, they'd be twelve.
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: So they beat a thirteen win team, a fourteen win team,
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: and a twelve win team. So like people like, oh,
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: forty nineers beating nobody, No, they beat three playoff teams,
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: the number one seed, the number five seed, and probably
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: the number two seed. But the problem was tonight the
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: team that they played Seattle with was a lot different
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: than the team they played Seattle with in Seattle. In
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: Seattle knew it, and the coaching ability of Mike is
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: just top notch. I'm just that was incredible and that
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: shit translates it really does. I mean, they were might
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: pick a couple of years ago to win the Super Bowl.
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: I put one of the biggest bets of my life
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: against the Chiefs against them in that AFC Championship game,
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: and it wasn't because of the defense. Lamar played like
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: shit in that game. They lost seventeen to ten. Pat
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: Mahomes scored seventeen points. I'm pretty sure they had fourteen
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: in the first half. Maybe all seventeen if I remember correctly,
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: but definitely fourteen. Definitely, the two touchdowns came in the
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: first half. So McDonald's stud no way around it. Do
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: I think they can win the Super Bowl. I don't
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: know if I'd go that far, but I think it'd
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: be shocking if they're not in the AFC champ or
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: in the NFC Championship game. But if it is Seattle, Chicago,
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: Philly and the Rams play whatever one of these shitty
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: teams makes the playoffs, Let's give the Rams that win,
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: and let's say the Bears and Philly beats the Niners,
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: Seattle would have to play the Rams in their first
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: playoff game, which would suck. I mean that's that. Yes,
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: I think if you're Seattle, you would actually rather play
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: Philly or Chicago, so you could argue getting the one
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: seed in a weird way for Seattle is more difficult
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: because I think if you're Seattle, if you're ranking your
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: opponents that you would want to play in your first
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: play NFC championship game, you obviously play whoever, but your
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: first playoff game in the divisional round and you have
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: to play the Rams. Like, I think, we just pulled
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: a bunch of gms and pulled a bunch of NFL people.
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: How would you rank the top four teams in the NFC,
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: because now you've got to drop the Niners out of
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: it based on their defensive performance the last several weeks.
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: It just sucks. You know, you would definitely have Seattle
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: on the Rams would be one two. Some people might
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: even be like, hey, if the Rams s need has
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: figured out, tomorrow'll get a little momentum in that first
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: weekend that they're gonna be tough. Philly. I mean they
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: go three and out, feels like every other drive. They
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: had seventeen yards in the second half last week Chicago
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: defense is basically the forty nine ers. I've been saying
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: this forever. I don't watch high school football, but I'm
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: gonna stick with this. At the highest levels of a
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: high school, maybe high school's a little different. Definitely college
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: and clearly the pros. You could not win big if
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: you do not play defense. It is impossible. There is
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: no If I read one more article about Cliff Kingsbury
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: becoming a head coach, I'm gonna throw up in my mouth. Hey,
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: do these people not watch football? Is this an agent
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: driven story? What are we talking about head coach in
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: the NFL? What Cliff Kingsbury? Do you guys just witness
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: what happened and part of the dysfunction in Arizona in
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: terms of his accountability and toughness, which translates to defense.
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: It's kind of like a shittier version of Lincoln Riley.
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: That does not work. What's winning in college football right now?
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: Indiana destroying people on defense, Oregon dominating the defensive side
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: of the ball, Miami crushing people. Ole Miss has got
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: the little D. Two guys make it sweet plays. Obviously,
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: in the NFL, defense matters a lot pass rush, dB play, physicality,
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: obviously your schemes within that and if this like the
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: Bears and their fans will be the first to tell you,
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: like your defense is the same as the Niners. Maybe
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: got one or two bigger names on that side of
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: the ball, but that that does not work to why
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: the Niners. I think every forty nine Er fan be
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: the first to admit we have no shot in the playoffs,
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: none to make a run. Could you win an individual game?
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: Could the forty nine Ers beat the Eagles in a
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: one off situation? Games are weird. You saw to night
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: Seattle's kicking their ass and it was ten to three
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: at half, Like, how's this possible? Niners aid three first down?
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: That's football, and the forty nine Ers at one point
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: in time where a fumbled ball, if Cleveland Ferrell drops
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: falls on it, who knows, all of a sudden they
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: score tight game, it was ten point swing. Football is
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: weird that way, right in an individual game, you could
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: be a better team. I think you could pull one
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: hundred people that watch tonight and one hundred people would
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: say Seattle was the better team tonight. Yet at one
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: point time through in the third quarter, it's ten to three,
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: and that's the thing about playoff games. I watched a
• 43:22
  Speaker 1: lot of I went to a lot of Warriors in
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: their heyday playoff games. You can lose random games in
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: series all the time. It happens in baseball all the time.
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: It does not matter in basketball, it definitely doesn't matter. Like, oh,
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: it just got blown out in Game three, Okay, two
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: to one. Who cares? In football, you have one bad half,
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: you make two bad plays, the playoffs can be over.
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: The other team makes one great play, some crazy ass
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: kickoff return or some crazy ass mistackle touchdown. All of
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: a sudden, It's like I thought we were better than them,
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: and we're down twenty to ten and the third quarter.
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: That's what's so fun about the playoffs. But man, what
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: a night. Credible accomplishment by Seattle truly is, like I said,
• 44:11
  Speaker 1: crowding achievement for John Schneider, let's face it. I mean,
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: there's Diana's article today. It's like, clearly the Raiders would
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: like Pete to just retire. Okay, man, we'll pay you
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: the contract. We don't want to quote unquote fire you,
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: but just just retire. You're seventy five. You refused away
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: the white flag. You were the only guy we could
• 44:31
  Speaker 1: hire because there were no other options. You're gonna get fired.
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: But if you just announce you're retired, easier to go
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: that way. Jee Sneider won that big time because once
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: Pete's gone, he's hired Mike McDonald. Two years later, they're
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: the number one seed in the NFC, and that's against
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: the team with you know, I don't know how much
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: the Eagles are spending on their team, but it's a
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: shitload of money, you know, the Rams. I mean, we're
• 44:59
  Speaker 1: beating them by sixteen points in the fourth quarter. Three
• 45:02
  Speaker 1: weeks ago. Seattle came back, beats Carolina, beats the Niners,
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: boom home playoff games. That's how fast it's That's how
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: fast it shifted. That's the crazy part about Seattle season
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: is at that game, when they're down sixteen points, Darnold
• 45:22
  Speaker 1: looks like crap, like yeah, man, make the playoffs. Good season,
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: and then it flipped she he'd scored that touchdown. They've
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: honestly never really looked back since that moment. I know
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: it's technically three to three last week in Carolina, but
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: Carolina sucks. My main takeaway from that game, and I've
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: thought this for a while and I've never ever believed
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: this more strongly that if you go eight and and
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: win a division one, that shows your division sucks. If
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: you go eight to nine and win the division, think
• 46:08
  Speaker 1: about what it took for Seattle to win the division.
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: They'd win fourteen games. They're gonna have two other They're
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: gonna have a thirteen win team and a twelve win
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: team in their own division relative to this other division
• 46:21
  Speaker 1: with three eight to nine teams. Potentially, if Atlanta wins,
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: Atlanta's rattling off some late victories. Obviously the Saints rattled
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: off some late victories as well, but that division has
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: been terrible. It really is. Even if things went better
• 46:36
  Speaker 1: for either Tampa or Atlanta, what are they ten win teams.
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: You're clearly talking about the worst division winner in the conference.
• 46:45
  Speaker 1: But if you go eight to nine or worse, if
• 46:50
  Speaker 1: who knows, you could have a year maybe seven to ten.
• 46:52
  Speaker 1: If it goes really shitty, you should not be able
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: to host a playoff game. You should give up that right.
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: I'm okay with Hey, you win the division, you're automatically
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: in the playoffs, but if you go under five hundred
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: to win the division, you should then be stacked with
• 47:09
  Speaker 1: the playoff teams, which every single time would be seventh.
• 47:12
  Speaker 1: That's how I would do it. So it's not like, oh,
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: you get to play the four to five, No, you
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: go to the seventh seed. I think that would be fair.
• 47:22
  Speaker 1: I could live with Okay, they're just they play the
• 47:25
  Speaker 1: four or five game, but it goes to whoever they're
• 47:28
  Speaker 1: playing against the home game. I'd be cool with that.
• 47:30
  Speaker 1: But I honestly think you should be slotted in the
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: seventh seed. You could make a whole other argument, like
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: if you go under five hundred, should you even make
• 47:37
  Speaker 1: the playoffs? We could make that argument if you wanted.
• 47:40
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't argue against that person. But under no circumstances,
• 47:45
  Speaker 1: should one of those two teams that we witness playing
• 47:48
  Speaker 1: today get to host a playoff game next week. That
• 47:52
  Speaker 1: is an embarrassment toward the National Football League, It truly is.
• 47:57
  Speaker 1: I like Jason light I think he's an excellent GM.
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: I know they've had a weird season, they've had some injuries.
• 48:03
  Speaker 1: His coach isn't great. Clearly, you know, decent chance if
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: Atlanta wins tomorrow that I think Todd Bowles gets fired again.
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: I don't know Todd well, but I worked with him.
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: Whenever I seen him at the Combine, I've always I've
• 48:16
  Speaker 1: always liked him. He's always been really nice to me.
• 48:19
  Speaker 1: But he's been atrocious this year. Their whole team has
• 48:22
  Speaker 1: been really atrocious this year. And this is not shade
• 48:25
  Speaker 1: because of the division, though that division does feel like
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: the least interesting division in all of football. That game
• 48:36
  Speaker 1: today had preseason vibes. It honestly did. It had vibes
• 48:41
  Speaker 1: in the preseason when you're watching like Miami or Philly
• 48:44
  Speaker 1: or some of these East Coast teams that you know
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: play in these humid cities that starts pouring rain and
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: the starters are playing, you know, late in the first
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: quarter or the second quarter, like oh this, and you're
• 48:55
  Speaker 1: just starved. You're just like a crack addict looking for
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: a hit. So you're just sitting on your couch, like
• 49:00
  Speaker 1: mid August. You're like, hell, yeah, Baker Mayfield's on the field,
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: Mike Evans beat a bell, but it's still a preseason game.
• 49:09
  Speaker 1: And then all of a sudden, you look up, you
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: go get a snack, and all the backups are in.
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: You're like, this is bad, honey, you want to go
• 49:14
  Speaker 1: watch a movie. I actually just watched the movie last
• 49:17
  Speaker 1: night called A Roof Man, pretty good flick. Channing Tatum.
• 49:21
  Speaker 1: He a true story this, I guess. Guy broke into
• 49:25
  Speaker 1: a bunch of McDonald's from the roof, got caught, broke
• 49:27
  Speaker 1: out of jail, lived at a toy z r Us
• 49:31
  Speaker 1: for like six months, started dating a girl. I really
• 49:36
  Speaker 1: enjoyed the movie. Channon Tatum kind of underrated actor. That
• 49:42
  Speaker 1: game the Day had preseason vibes. It truly did. And
• 49:46
  Speaker 1: given that no matter who, I guess, if Carolina won
• 49:48
  Speaker 1: the game, they would have won the division. But it
• 49:50
  Speaker 1: never crossed my mind Carolina was gonna win that game.
• 49:53
  Speaker 1: And if it wasn't for a last drive by Carolina
• 49:58
  Speaker 1: that they scored a touchdown, so they game looks closer
• 50:01
  Speaker 1: than it actually was. I thought Tampa was clearly the
• 50:04
  Speaker 1: better team. I'm not a Bryce young guy. It's pretty
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: clear for me, like and I was coming out of college,
• 50:12
  Speaker 1: so I'm not acting like I've never liked him. I
• 50:14
  Speaker 1: loved him at Alabama. I'd followed his career like in
• 50:17
  Speaker 1: high school because a huge recruit. I was rooting for him.
• 50:23
  Speaker 1: But at this point time he's not good enough. You'd
• 50:25
  Speaker 1: be like, well, his numbers are. I don't know, man,
• 50:27
  Speaker 1: I don't see it. I know he made some throws.
• 50:30
  Speaker 1: He No one throws an out route interception like Bryce Young.
• 50:34
  Speaker 1: I don't know if it's he can't see. I don't
• 50:36
  Speaker 1: know if it's timing's always off. But he throws one
• 50:39
  Speaker 1: of the easier out route picks. I mean, for any
• 50:44
  Speaker 1: guy that consistently starts typically the guy that throws that
• 50:47
  Speaker 1: pick all the time is a guy that doesn't start
• 50:49
  Speaker 1: very long. I think Bryce Young is just average as
• 50:55
  Speaker 1: the day is long, and that feels kind like I
• 50:58
  Speaker 1: pick up his fifth year option. I don't even think
• 51:00
  Speaker 1: an option. Yeah, I mean obviously canalis not sure how
• 51:09
  Speaker 1: dynamic he is. Hard to judge a little with his quarterback.
• 51:13
  Speaker 1: But the flea flicker in the rain when a running back,
• 51:19
  Speaker 1: if you just think about it, the field's clearly slippery.
• 51:22
  Speaker 1: It had been pouring rain in Tampa. A flea flicker
• 51:26
  Speaker 1: takes two or three whatever is coached up hard steps
• 51:30
  Speaker 1: selling the run. Then you have to stop, pivot flip back.
• 51:37
  Speaker 1: As Dowdell went to flip it back, he is parallel
• 51:41
  Speaker 1: to the ground. It's almost like a movie scene when
• 51:43
  Speaker 1: a guy, you know, I was We watched home alone
• 51:46
  Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago. They slip on the ice
• 51:48
  Speaker 1: and they're parallel to the ground. That's what he looked like, Gus,
• 51:51
  Speaker 1: He's been in the ground, and it's just how do
• 51:54
  Speaker 1: you call that play? And then I watched his answer
• 51:57
  Speaker 1: about why he called that play after the game, and
• 52:00
  Speaker 1: he's like, yeah, we like to play. And even Orlowsky
• 52:03
  Speaker 1: on the broadcast was like, they never showed a replay
• 52:06
  Speaker 1: down the field, and I don't think anyone was open.
• 52:11
  Speaker 1: There was not There was like one grout being run.
• 52:14
  Speaker 1: There wasn't even a someone to dump it off to.
• 52:17
  Speaker 1: Who what kind of play call is that? You know?
• 52:20
  Speaker 1: Baker threw a bad pick. It was just an awful,
• 52:23
  Speaker 1: awful game. I don't really know what to say. I
• 52:27
  Speaker 1: don't want to spend too much time talking about it
• 52:29
  Speaker 1: because I do think that Atlanta is gonna win and
• 52:32
  Speaker 1: Carolina is going to be in the playoffs, which is
• 52:34
  Speaker 1: truly shameful. I mean it truly is. And I believe
• 52:39
  Speaker 1: this core of my soul in no functioning society. Should
• 52:47
  Speaker 1: the Carolina Panthers at eight to nine, the team that
• 52:50
  Speaker 1: we've witnessed, I mean, they got work yet last week
• 52:52
  Speaker 1: in the second half Bryce through fifty four yards against
• 52:55
  Speaker 1: Seattle today they are down whatever or nine points late
• 53:01
  Speaker 1: in the game, and they're gonna host a playoff game
• 53:05
  Speaker 1: because Bijon Robinson to Margo's for one hundred and seventy yards.
• 53:09
  Speaker 1: What are we doing? Come on, Roger, we gotta be better.
• 53:13
  Speaker 1: This can't be tolerated, but it will. They'll host a
• 53:16
  Speaker 1: game and hopefully the Rams kick their ass and we
• 53:19
  Speaker 1: move on. If you tell me that it's Rams Carolina,
• 53:23
  Speaker 1: my guess would be decent chance that's the first playoff game.
• 53:26
  Speaker 1: That's Saturday afternoon, Saturday afternoon, and then that would be
• 53:32
  Speaker 1: a lucky break for McVeigh because he'd probably get it
• 53:35
  Speaker 1: rolling a little bit tomorrow against Arizona, who's just an
• 53:37
  Speaker 1: atrocious football team with a million injuries. They're they're terrible.
• 53:41
  Speaker 1: I think they've lost by twenty and I was listened
• 53:44
  Speaker 1: to some local television show like five to the Last
• 53:45
  Speaker 1: seven Games or something that they are bad. And then
• 53:49
  Speaker 1: you get Carolina, you might get some momentum. And again,
• 53:52
  Speaker 1: like I said, if Seattle draws the Rams as their
• 53:55
  Speaker 1: first playoff game since twenty seventeen in Seattle, that's just
• 53:59
  Speaker 1: tough draw. It really is. I think if you let
• 54:02
  Speaker 1: John Schneider and Mike McDonald pick, they would one pick
• 54:08
  Speaker 1: Philly or obviously San Francisco or the Bears over the Rams.
• 54:13
  Speaker 1: But that will be a fantastic, you know, week two
• 54:16
  Speaker 1: playoff game. But that's the way it shakes out. Other
• 54:18
  Speaker 1: than that, we've gone got a little longer, I thought,
• 54:21
  Speaker 1: But I was it's a big night. I mean, there
• 54:24
  Speaker 1: was a lot on the line. Learned a lot. Seattle's
• 54:26
  Speaker 1: a one seed, Nighters are in trouble, and I guess
• 54:31
  Speaker 1: we had to. I actually didn't. I turned the game on.
• 54:34
  Speaker 1: I was a little late to the game playing golf,
• 54:37
  Speaker 1: which was way more fun than watching the morning game.
• 54:40
  Speaker 1: And it was seven to nothing, and I was like,
• 54:41
  Speaker 1: what this sucks. I don't even want to do this.
• 54:44
  Speaker 1: Is there is there a Bowl game on? It's like,
• 54:46
  Speaker 1: I guess I kind of have to do this for
• 54:47
  Speaker 1: my job kind of. I'm just I was like, this
• 54:50
  Speaker 1: is awful. What a what an awful game? At least
• 54:55
  Speaker 1: we had the night game, which I know is low scoring,
• 54:57
  Speaker 1: but it was fun. Audios, have a great night, and
• 55:01
  Speaker 1: UH see you tomorrow. The volume m HM
