Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Yeah, I have a great lineup here at Sports Radio
- 0:01Speaker 1: ninety three point three KJR FM and our experts that
- 0:05Speaker 1: we use. Man, we're really proud of Mike Holmgren and
- 0:08Speaker 1: Hugh Millen and the group. But man, it was like
- 0:12Speaker 1: we had the number one pick in the Analyst draft
- 0:15Speaker 1: this year for the postseason and we landed quarterback Matt
- 0:19Speaker 1: Hasselback with the selection.
- 0:21Speaker 2: It was a no brainer.
- 0:22Speaker 3: That was really I'm really glad that we sucked so
- 0:23Speaker 3: much last year in order to get this number one
- 0:25Speaker 3: draft pick. You know, I mean, I put in a
- 0:28Speaker 3: lot of effort to tank our show last year, but
- 0:31Speaker 3: it's worked out. We got Hassleback out.
- 0:33Speaker 1: Of it, joining us now former quarterback of your Seattle Seahawks.
- 0:37Speaker 1: It's number eight to eight throughout the postseason. Matt Hasselback,
- 0:41Speaker 1: Good to see you.
- 0:43Speaker 4: I was reminded of tank for two. That was the
- 0:46Speaker 4: thing for the Jets fans one year. So I was
- 0:49Speaker 4: picked one eighty seven when I came out in the
- 0:50Speaker 4: real draft, So I appreciate that.
- 0:53Speaker 2: What to feel like to go number one, man.
- 0:55Speaker 4: I really appreciate it. Like pick one eighty seven, Tom
- 0:58Speaker 4: Brady was one ninety nine. He still got the chip
- 1:00Speaker 4: on his shoulder. I was one eighty seven six thrown pick.
- 1:02Speaker 4: Probably still have that chip on my shoulder as well,
- 1:05Speaker 4: So it felt good. I appreciate you, Bucky. That's uh,
- 1:08Speaker 4: that's big a tear to my eye.
- 1:10Speaker 3: Yeah. Well it took a lot for me, basically just
- 1:13Speaker 3: a snore on the air and whatnot. But I did
- 1:15Speaker 3: it because I knew you were waiting there, you're ready
- 1:16Speaker 3: to come out.
- 1:17Speaker 2: Oh.
- 1:17Speaker 1: His analysis was horrible, man, I mean he really worked
- 1:21Speaker 1: hard at shocking for you.
- 1:23Speaker 2: So we had really paid off.
- 1:27Speaker 1: All right, well, I mean give us your reaction to
- 1:30Speaker 1: what you saw Saturday night from the Seahawks.
- 1:33Speaker 3: Against the forty nine ers.
- 1:34Speaker 4: All let's just talk about the first play, like the
- 1:37Speaker 4: kickoff return. I've been in the locker room and so
- 1:40Speaker 4: many times, you know, you hear the talk about special
- 1:43Speaker 4: teams and they'll say, all right, kickoff return team, you know,
- 1:46Speaker 4: give us some good field position.
- 1:48Speaker 5: Let's see if we can get out to the thirty five.
- 1:50Speaker 4: You know, like that would be crazy, you know, like
- 1:52Speaker 4: take it to the forty you know, something like that.
- 1:54Speaker 4: You don't even like dream big enough to be like
- 1:57Speaker 4: we're taking this one to the house, you know, and
- 2:00Speaker 4: maybe these guys do Jay Harbaugh company. They've been incredible.
- 2:02Speaker 4: Rashi Shihi coming over in the trade. I mean, to
- 2:05Speaker 4: be in that stadium at that moment when you take
- 2:08Speaker 4: the opening kickback in such a big game, it just
- 2:12Speaker 4: had to be. It had to be one of those
- 2:14Speaker 4: moments that you just remember forever like that. That's what
- 2:17Speaker 4: it was. And playing it with a lead against the
- 2:19Speaker 4: Niners is the key. They're not built to come from behind.
- 2:21Speaker 4: So that was a great start. It was like a
- 2:24Speaker 4: just a commanding, just a runaway win.
- 2:28Speaker 5: Loved it.
- 2:28Speaker 3: How big is it when you do something early in
- 2:31Speaker 3: a game like that. I mean whether it's against a
- 2:34Speaker 3: division fo or in a playoff game, but just the
- 2:37Speaker 3: idea of like, oh, the shell shock part of it.
- 2:39Speaker 3: You're coming in on the road, you're hobbled with injuries
- 2:42Speaker 3: like the Niners were, and they you know, it's not
- 2:44Speaker 3: one of those all right, we got to hang around
- 2:46Speaker 3: and then hope for something at the end where we
- 2:48Speaker 3: can pull this thing out. You just find yourself. I mean,
- 2:51Speaker 3: you're out there, your offense hasn't even you know, your
- 2:54Speaker 3: team hasn't even came on the field yet, and you're
- 2:55Speaker 3: already down seven zip.
- 2:57Speaker 4: Well, it's huge against that team in that matchup right
- 2:59Speaker 4: there already, like you said, they're beat up and your
- 3:01Speaker 4: quarterbacks beat up, Like your quarterback hasn't thrown a football
- 3:04Speaker 4: on two days going into that game. You don't know
- 3:06Speaker 4: if Sam Darnold can play, you know, as teammates, you know,
- 3:09Speaker 4: and I've had the oblique injury. Like as a player,
- 3:11Speaker 4: you're not sure either, Like you're not in pain, so
- 3:13Speaker 4: you're like, oh, I should be good to go. I'm
- 3:15Speaker 4: not in pain, but like you don't know if the
- 3:16Speaker 4: muscle that you need to throw works. And so like
- 3:19Speaker 4: when the other phases step up and you make a
- 3:22Speaker 4: team like the Niners one dimensional, like they got a
- 3:24Speaker 4: great Kyle Shannon has known for this, like kind of
- 3:27Speaker 4: creative run game, you know, build everything off the run
- 3:29Speaker 4: game play action, you know, smoking mirrors, all that, Like
- 3:33Speaker 4: you can't do that anymore. You turn them into a
- 3:35Speaker 4: drop back passing team with our pass rush, with our
- 3:38Speaker 4: front four.
- 3:38Speaker 5: You're turning those guys loose. It's huge. Now, I don't
- 3:41Speaker 5: know that it's as big in every game.
- 3:43Speaker 4: You know, you play a team like you're about to
- 3:46Speaker 4: play and you could be up twenty one nothing and
- 3:47Speaker 4: the game's not over. You know, like that's you got
- 3:49Speaker 4: a gun slinger back there with with major, major weapons
- 3:53Speaker 4: on the outside, and you know, you know, a whiz
- 3:56Speaker 4: kid head coach, play caller, designer.
- 3:58Speaker 5: It's a little different. Every game is different.
- 4:00Speaker 4: But for that game in San fran rivalry game, they're chippy.
- 4:04Speaker 4: They'd like to talk a lot of smack. You know,
- 4:08Speaker 4: you just embarrassed them, you bullied them. That was pretty cool.
- 4:11Speaker 1: Matt Hasselbeck is with US number eight at eight throughout
- 4:13Speaker 1: the postseason, right here at Chuck and Buck in the mornings.
- 4:17Speaker 1: So now that he's the number one pick, he might
- 4:18Speaker 1: not analyze with that chip on his shoulder. It might
- 4:21Speaker 1: go to his head. So we'll see. We'll test him
- 4:23Speaker 1: here over the next few weeks. I'll put that to plural.
- 4:28Speaker 1: Let's talk about Sam Darnold. I mean, had I not
- 4:31Speaker 1: known he had an oblique injury, I wouldn't.
- 4:33Speaker 3: Have been able to tell.
- 4:34Speaker 1: Did you pick up on anything that he was doing
- 4:37Speaker 1: differently to maybe protect it or anything the coaching staff
- 4:41Speaker 1: was doing differently to protect him.
- 4:43Speaker 4: Yeah, I thought he was cautious early, which is understandable.
- 4:46Speaker 4: You know, I think there was a sack in there
- 4:48Speaker 4: where normally you'd see him just kind of cut it loose,
- 4:51Speaker 4: maybe even throw it away, you know, and that's all
- 4:54Speaker 4: part of it. I do think one of the things
- 4:56Speaker 4: that was encouraging. It seemed to get better, not worse
- 4:58Speaker 4: as the game went on. That's that's encouraging. And I think,
- 5:01Speaker 4: you know, the extra rest. I think it'd be also
- 5:03Speaker 4: really interesting to read about and to hear how many
- 5:08Speaker 4: reps Drew Lock gets this week. You know, like, if
- 5:11Speaker 4: Drew Lock is still taking a bunch of reps this week,
- 5:13Speaker 4: then that tells you something. If it's uh, you know,
- 5:16Speaker 4: business as usual and Sam Darnold's taking all the all
- 5:19Speaker 4: the snaps in practice, you know, that tells you something else.
- 5:22Speaker 4: But no, he had a couple of throws in that
- 5:23Speaker 4: game that out route to the left hand side, that
- 5:26Speaker 4: first big one that was huge, and then obviously the
- 5:29Speaker 4: touchdown on the move to his left to JSN and
- 5:32Speaker 4: back of the end zone.
- 5:33Speaker 5: That was another one where it.
- 5:34Speaker 4: Was like, Okay, we're good, he's got he's got the
- 5:37Speaker 4: throws that he needs today, and and and and also
- 5:41Speaker 4: I think he just played a clean game, you know,
- 5:42Speaker 4: which is which is another thing you need to do
- 5:44Speaker 4: when you have a defense playing the way that our
- 5:46Speaker 4: defense is playing.
- 5:47Speaker 1: Yeah, helps when you're up thirty five by the end
- 5:49Speaker 1: of the game. Certainly, how would he feel the following week?
- 5:53Speaker 1: I mean, since you've had this injury before, I don't know,
- 5:56Speaker 1: maybe there's treatment that's done that you know, numbs it
- 5:58Speaker 1: so he's not feeling it his U. But when you
- 6:00Speaker 1: wake up that next day and after practice again the
- 6:03Speaker 1: next week, what did it feel like for you?
- 6:05Speaker 4: Yeah, that's the thing about this kind of an injury.
- 6:07Speaker 4: It's really not a pain tolerance thing. It's just more
- 6:10Speaker 4: about does the muscle work, you know, And that's that's
- 6:13Speaker 4: the you know, I've I've played with some injuries that uh,
- 6:15Speaker 4: you know that were like really really painful and you know,
- 6:18Speaker 4: broken bones and stuff like that also, but this one
- 6:21Speaker 4: is just like it's just like, no, I'm fine, I'm
- 6:23Speaker 4: totally good except for one thing, and that's kind of
- 6:26Speaker 4: throwing a fastball and U.
- 6:28Speaker 5: And one thing I do.
- 6:29Speaker 4: Know I can speak to this is that the athletic
- 6:33Speaker 4: training sort of team that's in Seattle with the Seahawks
- 6:37Speaker 4: is as good as it comes. And even on the
- 6:41Speaker 4: orthopedic side, you share you know, Ed Calfane doctor Ed
- 6:45Speaker 4: Calpane you share a head orthopedic with the Mariners.
- 6:49Speaker 5: So there were a lot.
- 6:50Speaker 4: Of times with in my you know, injury where I
- 6:55Speaker 4: had someone who was really experienced in dealing with throwers,
- 6:59Speaker 4: and that's not always the case on every NFL team,
- 7:02Speaker 4: And so I do think that's an advantage that the
- 7:03Speaker 4: Seahawks have and that Sam Donald in this case has Matt.
- 7:08Speaker 3: I'm going to stay on the Sam Donald thing and
- 7:10Speaker 3: just kind of because he see all kinds of analysts
- 7:14Speaker 3: and talking heads out there that want to stick to
- 7:16Speaker 3: this turnover issue that he has or whatever, and to me, it's, well,
- 7:21Speaker 3: that's the risk that you take for the reward that
- 7:24Speaker 3: you get. I mean, this team has been about as
- 7:26Speaker 3: potent as anybody as far as being able to put
- 7:28Speaker 3: up points quicken in a hurry throughout the course of
- 7:30Speaker 3: the season. And so when you watch him, do you
- 7:33Speaker 3: want more of a hesitation to make sure that you
- 7:36Speaker 3: don't turn the ball over or do you want him
- 7:38Speaker 3: just to rip it? And what did you see last
- 7:40Speaker 3: week in the limited amount of throws that he made
- 7:43Speaker 3: while the game was still somewhat up in the air.
- 7:46Speaker 4: Yeah, well, let's just talk about you know, all the
- 7:48Speaker 4: games really, I mean Buffalo lost because they turned the
- 7:51Speaker 4: ball over.
- 7:52Speaker 5: Chicago lost because they.
- 7:53Speaker 4: Turned the ball over San fran You know, obviously you
- 7:56Speaker 4: saw how they played CJ.
- 7:58Speaker 3: Stroud.
- 7:59Speaker 4: He's out interceptions in the first half. So like that
- 8:02Speaker 4: is a formula, and that is a thing. But playing
- 8:05Speaker 4: defensive and playing kind of scared, playing like you're at
- 8:09Speaker 4: you know, a sixteen and a half year old a
- 8:11Speaker 4: driver's head, Like, that's not the safest way to drive.
- 8:14Speaker 4: It's not the safest way to play quarterback. The safest
- 8:17Speaker 4: way to drive is to be a little bit aggressive,
- 8:20Speaker 4: be be decisive, and you know, like in you know,
- 8:25Speaker 4: cut it loose a little bit in a sense. And
- 8:27Speaker 4: I think that's the same thing for a quarterback. Throw
- 8:30Speaker 4: whatever throw you want to throw, but throw it with
- 8:32Speaker 4: one hundred percent conviction. Don't throw it like it's you know,
- 8:35Speaker 4: a grenade or like yeah, maybe you know, a bunch
- 8:38Speaker 4: of people get hurt here, like or like it's horseshoes,
- 8:40Speaker 4: like it's kind of close.
- 8:42Speaker 2: It's not that.
- 8:42Speaker 4: Like you need to be a confident, precise, have a
- 8:47Speaker 4: plan thrower, and and if you do that, like good
- 8:51Speaker 4: stuff happens, and even even sometimes an incompletion can happen.
- 8:55Speaker 4: But this idea of like a fifty to fifty ball
- 8:58Speaker 4: or like, oh I got pressure in my face, I
- 8:59Speaker 4: got to get the ball out of my hand kinticke
- 9:01Speaker 4: a sack, Like no, it's not just that, Like you
- 9:04Speaker 4: got to throw it somewhere with conviction. And then I
- 9:07Speaker 4: do think there's this there's this saying that always always
- 9:11Speaker 4: helped me when I had a good defense and I
- 9:14Speaker 4: had a good punter, Like it's okay to let our
- 9:17Speaker 4: punter punt. It's okay to give our defense a long
- 9:20Speaker 4: field to defend. But what's not okay is to have
- 9:24Speaker 4: a sudden change and give our defense a short field
- 9:26Speaker 4: to defend and and not let our punter do his job.
- 9:30Speaker 4: And in that mindset, too, is like it's a it's
- 9:33Speaker 4: a freeing thing to know, like, hey, listen, if this
- 9:37Speaker 4: series didn't work out, let our kicker kick, let our
- 9:40Speaker 4: punter punt in.
- 9:41Speaker 5: I'll get the ball again next next, next time around.
- 9:44Speaker 2: It's number eight at eight.
- 9:45Speaker 1: Matt hasselback with us throughout the postseason Wednesdays at eight
- 9:49Speaker 1: o'clock right here on Chuck and Buck in the morning,
- 9:51Speaker 1: let's talk about the other quarterback. Matt Stafford's had an
- 9:54Speaker 1: MVP year. He's forty years old. For goodness sake, he's
- 9:57Speaker 1: seen it all. He's won a Super Bowl. I mean,
- 9:59Speaker 1: there's no chance, I don't care how good the defensive
- 10:02Speaker 1: opponent is, that he's gonna wet himself on the field
- 10:06Speaker 1: on Sunday or soil his armor.
- 10:09Speaker 2: And so. But have you had, I know, you've had that.
- 10:12Speaker 1: Experience where you're getting ready for a big game and
- 10:16Speaker 1: you watch the film and you put on the film
- 10:18Speaker 1: of that Seahawks defense and the way that they played
- 10:21Speaker 1: last week.
- 10:22Speaker 2: What's Matt Stafford thinking right now?
- 10:25Speaker 4: Well, you know, it's interesting how his season started, like
- 10:28Speaker 4: he had a back injury and missed all a training
- 10:30Speaker 4: camp and you know, he's almost forty, and people were
- 10:33Speaker 4: freaking out. You know, I was like, oh, this doesn't
- 10:35Speaker 4: look good. Whatever he did, he looks like he's aging
- 10:38Speaker 4: in reverse. This is the best I've seen him look.
- 10:41Speaker 5: During a year.
- 10:42Speaker 4: At the end of the year, you know, whatever a
- 10:46Speaker 4: lix er he's on, I need to get on it myself.
- 10:48Speaker 4: That dude is aging in reverse and looking as good
- 10:50Speaker 4: as I mean, he's the best year he's ever had, really,
- 10:52Speaker 4: and so he's on fire. Last time we played this game,
- 10:57Speaker 4: you know, I don't think he's intimidated by this defense.
- 10:59Speaker 5: You know, whether he should or shouldn't be.
- 11:00Speaker 4: I don't think he is, because the last time he
- 11:02Speaker 4: played him in Seattle, he had no DeVante Adams and
- 11:05Speaker 4: he threw twelve completions to Puka Nakua for two hundred
- 11:09Speaker 4: and twenty five yards and touchdown like he had no issue.
- 11:12Speaker 5: I don't think he's. I don't think he's necessarily concerned
- 11:17Speaker 5: about it.
- 11:18Speaker 4: I would say this though, if I'm the Seahawks defense
- 11:20Speaker 4: and I'm watching him. He is a gun slinger, and
- 11:23Speaker 4: there's a saying in quarterback rooms catch the ones he
- 11:26Speaker 4: throws to you. If you just catch the opportunities that
- 11:32Speaker 4: a quarterback throws to you with over tips and overthrows,
- 11:35Speaker 4: you would lead the league in interceptions every year. So
- 11:38Speaker 4: this is one of those games for the defense where
- 11:41Speaker 4: it's not about batting balls down or celebrating when there's
- 11:44Speaker 4: an incompletion.
- 11:45Speaker 5: It's going to be one of those games where when the.
- 11:48Speaker 4: Ball comes our way and we have an opportunity with
- 11:50Speaker 4: a gun slinging quarterback, we got to turn those incompletions
- 11:53Speaker 4: into interceptions. And that's what the mindset has to be
- 11:56Speaker 4: because he is not afraid to throw it anywhere.
- 12:00Speaker 5: He's proven that. He proved it last week in Chicago.
- 12:02Speaker 4: Chicago had many opportunities to come away with interceptions, and
- 12:07Speaker 4: the ball just hit the ground.
- 12:08Speaker 1: Well, if he doesn't share for you his youthful secrets,
- 12:11Speaker 1: I've got the perfect recipe for looking older.
- 12:14Speaker 3: If you ever wanted that, I.
- 12:16Speaker 5: Got it down.
- 12:17Speaker 3: Wants.
- 12:17Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like no sleep, drink too much vodka, Fountain
- 12:20Speaker 1: of Age data cycle path.
- 12:25Speaker 2: Yeah, that is a wonderful comed I mean, I can
- 12:28Speaker 2: write it down for you.
- 12:29Speaker 3: If you do want to look older, Matt, don't do it.
- 12:32Speaker 5: I'm good, I'm good, Thank you.
- 12:34Speaker 2: Though.
- 12:36Speaker 3: I mean, this defense is playing well. Seahawks defense is
- 12:39Speaker 3: playing well. One of the ways in which that happens, obviously,
- 12:43Speaker 3: is keeping Matt Stafford off the field, or getting him
- 12:46Speaker 3: off the field as soon as possible, and then on
- 12:47Speaker 3: the other hand, holding on to it as long as
- 12:50Speaker 3: you can and going down and getting points. Ken Walker
- 12:53Speaker 3: is going to be thrust into the just plain and
- 12:55Speaker 3: simple number one guy, Zach sharbonnay out. How big of
- 12:59Speaker 3: an ask is that to ask somebody that averages thirteen
- 13:03Speaker 3: carries a game. You know, he usually gets a couple
- 13:05Speaker 3: catches in there too, but you're saying, hey, dude, it's
- 13:08Speaker 3: gonna be more than twenty maybe more than twenty five.
- 13:10Speaker 3: You're gonna have to carry the water on this thing.
- 13:13Speaker 4: Yeah, there's a lot of things that I think the
- 13:14Speaker 4: Seahawks have done this year that they don't get credit for.
- 13:17Speaker 5: You mentioned the defense quickly.
- 13:18Speaker 4: There not a lot of penalties on these guys, Like
- 13:21Speaker 4: they're not deep, not defensive passing interference. I think they
- 13:24Speaker 4: practice well and I think that's one of the reasons
- 13:26Speaker 4: that they're not penalized a lot. I think they also
- 13:28Speaker 4: show a lot of poise. You know, they were baited
- 13:31Speaker 4: into so many things this last game against the Niners,
- 13:34Speaker 4: and they were above it. It was like the Mission
- 13:36Speaker 4: over the Bs, you know, mob mentality type thing like that.
- 13:39Speaker 5: I think another area that the Seahawks are next level.
- 13:42Speaker 4: You mentioned the running back situation Ken Walker and Zach
- 13:45Speaker 4: Sharboney all season long.
- 13:47Speaker 5: Part of it was.
- 13:48Speaker 4: To share the load a little one two punch, but
- 13:50Speaker 4: I think another part of it was to make sure
- 13:52Speaker 4: that Ken Walker, the number one running back, was as
- 13:55Speaker 4: fresh as he could be going into the end of
- 13:58Speaker 4: the season. Here we are a long season. Two more
- 14:00Speaker 4: games to go. He's you know, he hasn't had to
- 14:03Speaker 4: carry all the water by himself. It's been the Charbonet
- 14:06Speaker 4: show at times. So you know, if he does have
- 14:09Speaker 4: to carry the load for this next two games, I
- 14:11Speaker 4: think he is as fresh, you know, with load management.
- 14:14Speaker 4: I think the Seahawks are next level, you know, chestnut
- 14:17Speaker 4: checkers in that regard. At the same time, I do
- 14:20Speaker 4: think there's some good talent in the running back room
- 14:23Speaker 4: that if they need to kind of share that load
- 14:26Speaker 4: of what sharbon at was, I think they can do it.
- 14:30Speaker 4: So best game that that ken Walker had on the
- 14:34Speaker 4: year was last week reminded me of Shawn Alexander a
- 14:37Speaker 4: little bit like we're running outside zone way to the right.
- 14:39Speaker 5: The moment he.
- 14:40Speaker 4: Gets the handoff, he's cutting it all the way back
- 14:42Speaker 4: to the left and no one's there and it's a touchdown. So,
- 14:46Speaker 4: you know, I think the running games coming on at
- 14:48Speaker 4: the right time. And terrible, terrible injury for Zach Sharboney.
- 14:52Speaker 4: But but again I think the Seahawks in a way
- 14:55Speaker 4: have sort of planned and prepared for, you know, this
- 14:59Speaker 4: kind of a situation.
- 15:00Speaker 2: And he's been waiting for four years to be able
- 15:03Speaker 2: to carry the load.
- 15:03Speaker 3: For this team.
- 15:04Speaker 1: Here's your opportunity. I don't want to see you tap
- 15:06Speaker 1: your home at one time. I mean, you're getting every
- 15:08Speaker 1: carry as far as I'm concerned. Matt hasselbecka with us
- 15:10Speaker 1: right he or on Chuck and Buck in the morning.
- 15:13Speaker 1: So I do want to ask you something in the
- 15:15Speaker 1: other AFC game. How hard is it going to be
- 15:18Speaker 1: for Jared Stidham to step into that situation on Sunday
- 15:21Speaker 1: and beat the Patriots one win away from the Super Bowl.
- 15:25Speaker 4: I think everyone's counting Jared Sidham out, but I don't
- 15:28Speaker 4: think they should. You know, my first three years in
- 15:29Speaker 4: the NFL as a backup to Brett Favre, my last
- 15:32Speaker 4: three years in the NFL as a backup to Andrew Luck,
- 15:34Speaker 4: and I always felt always felt like I was ready
- 15:37Speaker 4: to go, Like had they called on me, I was
- 15:39Speaker 4: ready to go. And I think that's the case for
- 15:41Speaker 4: most most backups. Now, some guys are asleep at the wheel,
- 15:45Speaker 4: or they don't have the talent or like whatever. But
- 15:47Speaker 4: Jared Stidham, if you remember, was drafted by the New
- 15:50Speaker 4: England Patriots to be the heir apparent to Tom Brady.
- 15:53Speaker 5: They believed in him even this offseason.
- 15:55Speaker 4: They kicked the tires on Stidham and considered bringing him
- 15:59Speaker 4: back to New England to back up Drake May like
- 16:01Speaker 4: Josh McDaniels, Mike Vrabel, they really like him as a player.
- 16:04Speaker 4: I thought he was a really good player in college
- 16:06Speaker 4: at Baylor and Auburn.
- 16:08Speaker 5: He didn't he didn't like the world on fire in college.
- 16:12Speaker 4: But at the same time, I think that the you know,
- 16:15Speaker 4: he was probably a better athlete than they used him in.
- 16:18Speaker 4: So I think, you know, you're gonna see it's a
- 16:19Speaker 4: good fit with Sean Payton in that offense. So not
- 16:22Speaker 4: a game I would gamble on, but but a game
- 16:24Speaker 4: I do think the Patriots come out on top. But
- 16:27Speaker 4: I don't think it's going to be because the quarterback,
- 16:30Speaker 4: because I do think he'll be ready.
- 16:31Speaker 1: All right, I gotta ask you. We do it on
- 16:34Speaker 1: zoom with Matt so you can't see this. It's a visual,
- 16:37Speaker 1: But he's got this entire like a war chest of
- 16:41Speaker 1: you know, footballs and helmets and everything. What is your
- 16:45Speaker 1: most prized possession on your shelf behind you, man?
- 16:48Speaker 5: You know that's I don't know, that's a good question.
- 16:51Speaker 4: I would say all the stuff on the bottom or
- 16:53Speaker 4: like recently from my kids, Like, you know, my girls
- 16:55Speaker 4: played lacrosse in college.
- 16:57Speaker 5: My middle daughter is still playing.
- 16:58Speaker 4: She's at Stanford, but a lot of like my older daughter,
- 17:01Speaker 4: four national championships in four years, one two lost to
- 17:05Speaker 4: so like you know, I was just quick story about that.
- 17:08Speaker 5: My girls were teammates.
- 17:10Speaker 4: They lost the national championship there, you know, freshman sophomore
- 17:14Speaker 4: year or whatever, and they were crying and I'm like.
- 17:16Speaker 5: Oh, girls, it's okay, I'm proud of you, great year whatever.
- 17:19Speaker 4: And they're like, you have no idea what it's like
- 17:21Speaker 4: to be so close, dad and not win at all.
- 17:23Speaker 4: I'm really, really well.
- 17:27Speaker 5: I know you're young, but really.
- 17:30Speaker 4: So you know, I'm glad that there's some first place
- 17:33Speaker 4: trophies in here too to go look with my my
- 17:36Speaker 4: second place NFC championship trophy.
- 17:38Speaker 1: That sounds like we're going to have a family viewing tonight.
- 17:43Speaker 1: We're gonna make popcorn, honey, and girls, you're not gonna
- 17:46Speaker 1: go out tonight. You're going to stay in and you're
- 17:48Speaker 1: going to watch Off Staler Super Bowl.
- 17:51Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 17:52Speaker 5: Well that's a punishment for me too.
- 17:53Speaker 1: So yeah, that's true. That's true. Too soon, too soon, all.
- 17:58Speaker 1: Just to close it out up for this week. How
- 18:00Speaker 1: are you feeling Seahawks Rams on Sunday? What kind of
- 18:03Speaker 1: game you expect them to see? What kind of a
- 18:05Speaker 1: result you expect them to see.
- 18:07Speaker 5: Well, I'm coming to the game.
- 18:08Speaker 4: This is not a game I would ever want to miss,
- 18:10Speaker 4: and that's the championship game. These don't come around often.
- 18:12Speaker 4: This is going to be incredible, and in the NFC
- 18:16Speaker 4: and NFCY championship games I feel like are the best,
- 18:18Speaker 4: even better than a super Bowl because it's in front
- 18:20Speaker 4: of your home crowd. Super Bowls are like neutral fan
- 18:23Speaker 4: bases sort of and it's just not the same. So
- 18:25Speaker 4: I'm really excited about this game. I think it's a
- 18:28Speaker 4: very good matchup, best offense of coach and sort of
- 18:31Speaker 4: like the MVP of the league against the best defense
- 18:33Speaker 4: in the league. To me, I think special teams are
- 18:36Speaker 4: going to be the factor in this game and something
- 18:38Speaker 4: that's just been an amazing thing for the Seahawks this year.
- 18:41Speaker 4: The Rams, on the other side, have already fired their
- 18:43Speaker 4: special teams coach midway through the season. There's some weaknesses
- 18:47Speaker 4: there that I see, So I'm really fired up. I
- 18:50Speaker 4: think this will be again I've said, like I know
- 18:52Speaker 4: the Super Bowl is in theory the two best teams
- 18:54Speaker 4: in the NFL. That's not the case this year. This
- 18:57Speaker 4: is the real Super Bowl. This is these are the
- 18:59Speaker 4: two best teams in football. No offense to the AFC people,
- 19:02Speaker 4: but it's one of these two teams. And you just
- 19:05Speaker 4: got to play this game first, that's all it is.
- 19:07Speaker 4: So I'm excited for it, and uh, like I said,
- 19:10Speaker 4: I think it's gonna come down to the wire.
- 19:11Speaker 2: Great, great, great, excellent stuff. Thank you, sir.
- 19:14Speaker 1: We appreciate it, and have fun Sunday.
- 19:18Speaker 2: We'll do all right there. He is number eight to night.
- 19:21Speaker 1: The quarterback Matt Hasselbeck joining us right here on Chuck
- 19:24Speaker 1: and Buck in the Morning's great stuff from him, as always.
- 19:27Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure because we do the zoom call and
- 19:30Speaker 1: for whatever reason, my camera I can't get it to
- 19:33Speaker 1: point down. So every time I'm on the zoom, all
- 19:35Speaker 1: you really see is my head. Everybody else is perfectly framed,
- 19:39Speaker 1: but all you see is my head. I'll bet you
- 19:41Speaker 1: if you ask Hasslebeck right now, how tall do you think.
- 19:43Speaker 2: He is, he'd say four foot six, Oh for sure.
- 19:45Speaker 3: Yeah, you don't look very big in the zoom, that's
- 19:48Speaker 3: for sure.
- 19:49Speaker 6: Hey, guys can play.
- 19:50Speaker 3: Yeah, I think he's gonna be really down here.
- 19:54Speaker 1: I think you'd be really surprised to find out that
- 19:56Speaker 1: I'm over six feet tall.
- 19:58Speaker 3: I think he would say, you don't look it. Yeah,
- 20:00Speaker 3: on zoom.
- 20:00Speaker 2: On the zoom call, He's like, what am I dealing with?
- 20:03Speaker 3: Funny because I thought the same thing I was gonna
- 20:04Speaker 3: get up and try to maneuver. That thing?
- 20:06Speaker 2: Is this Doorfund sports talk show? What is going on?
- 20:11Speaker 3: A little person toast in the morning show.
- 20:14Speaker 1: Dwarfund Sports all right, coming up next, whether you're four
- 20:19Speaker 1: foot six or eight foot twelve, We've got shark Coachery
- 20:23Speaker 1: and it's for everyone.
- 20:24Speaker 2: Right here on Sports Radio ninety three point three kJ RFM.
- 20:27Speaker 1: Yeah, we got update you on all sorts of coaching rumors,
- 20:30Speaker 1: but also not get too far away from just non
- 20:34Speaker 1: stop seagalk talk as we get ready for the conference
- 20:37Speaker 1: championship game. And I don't think that Clint Kubiak is
- 20:39Speaker 1: a distraction whatsoever. I think they do a pretty good
- 20:42Speaker 1: job with the NFL rules for this and so forth.
- 20:48Speaker 1: And and I don't think Mike McDonald would even allow
- 20:50Speaker 1: him to be a distraction if he was even considering
- 20:53Speaker 1: or infringing upon that that said, it does kind of
- 20:59Speaker 1: feel lot at least one of these teams is gonna
- 21:03Speaker 1: wait for him. I mean, that's what it feels like
- 21:05Speaker 1: to me. Greg kind of disagrees. He's not sure Clint
- 21:08Speaker 1: Kubiak's ready for that jump just yet. Might need another
- 21:11Speaker 1: year of seasoning as oc with Seattle. But you had Harball, Stefanski,
- 21:17Speaker 1: and Lafleur got locked up. They all came off the
- 21:20Speaker 1: board before we even got to the divisional round of
- 21:23Speaker 1: the playoffs, and so a couple of them during the
- 21:27Speaker 1: divisional round of the playoffs, and it sounds like the
- 21:31Speaker 1: other three are in no hurry. The Buffalo Bills, the
- 21:33Speaker 1: Baltimore Ravens, like the three big guys came off the board.
- 21:36Speaker 1: The Bills didn't even have a run at Harball, they
- 21:40Speaker 1: came off of the board. And so they've all sort
- 21:43Speaker 1: of let the insiders know that we're in no hurry here.
- 21:48Speaker 1: And if that means they're in no hurry, could very
- 21:51Speaker 1: well be that at least one of these teams is
- 21:54Speaker 1: willing to wait to see if Clint Kubiak, the hot
- 21:57Speaker 1: coordinator named this offseason, is going to be available to them.
- 22:01Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I think Vance Joseph has been rumored
- 22:04Speaker 3: as a guy that might get a second chance as well,
- 22:06Speaker 3: the defensive coordinator for the Broncos I At this point, yeah,
- 22:10Speaker 3: if you weren't going to go with if you weren't
- 22:14Speaker 3: gonna go with Stefanski, if that wasn't where you're your
- 22:17Speaker 3: number one choice, and you're gonna push all your chips
- 22:19Speaker 3: on there or Harbaugh or even if you were with
- 22:21Speaker 3: Harbaugh or Stefanski, and yet they chose somewhere else. At
- 22:26Speaker 3: this point, Yeah, there's no real need to rush in.
- 22:29Speaker 3: What you're offering if you're one, if you're the Baltimore
- 22:32Speaker 3: or the Bills, for example, is different than what the
- 22:35Speaker 3: Cardinals are offering, right, It's different than and then so
- 22:39Speaker 3: you got to feel like, Okay, maybe I'm competing if
- 22:42Speaker 3: you're the if you're Buffalo, maybe I'm competing with the
- 22:46Speaker 3: Baltimore Ravens for that number one guy out there. And
- 22:49Speaker 3: yet I would have to think that nobody's dead set
- 22:52Speaker 3: sold on that's our guy. Do you want to go
- 22:55Speaker 3: a veteran guy? Do you want to go with a
- 22:58Speaker 3: Mike Tomlin or even a Mike McCarthy, like a veteran
- 23:01Speaker 3: guy that's done it and been there, or are you
- 23:03Speaker 3: looking more at the young upcoming Clint Kuback, somebody hasn't
- 23:08Speaker 3: done it, but you like what they bring to the table.
- 23:11Speaker 3: So it's kind of like, I think you're probably in
- 23:13Speaker 3: one boat or the other. Maybe you have a little
- 23:15Speaker 3: bit of a foot in each boat. But yeah, I
- 23:17Speaker 3: don't see any reason to rush if you weren't going
- 23:19Speaker 3: after what it's like Stefanski I think, or Harbough I
- 23:23Speaker 3: think are the two main ones like they got let
- 23:26Speaker 3: go and and maybe McDermott is still thrown into that
- 23:29Speaker 3: mix as well, considering how successfull he's been. But if
- 23:32Speaker 3: you weren't in those boats, you were thinking more on
- 23:34Speaker 3: the youthful side of things, or a newcomer, some new blood,
- 23:38Speaker 3: then I don't think there's any reason to rush. I
- 23:40Speaker 3: think there's other guys out there.
- 23:41Speaker 1: Well, I would just say, like, I don't think the
- 23:45Speaker 1: ball I don't think Kubiak should be hired by the Bills.
- 23:47Speaker 3: I think they need a finisher.
- 23:48Speaker 1: I think they need somebody that's done that proven he
- 23:51Speaker 1: knows how to get to the championship. If that was
- 23:53Speaker 1: your criticism of McDermott, I don't think you roll the
- 23:56Speaker 1: dice on an offensive coordinator that's never been a head
- 23:58Speaker 1: coach before and doesn't really display that much of an
- 24:02Speaker 1: outgoing personality either. I'd be really worried to go from
- 24:07Speaker 1: McDermott and hands the keys off somebody that's never done
- 24:09Speaker 1: this before.
- 24:10Speaker 6: No, I would agree with that.
- 24:11Speaker 1: Yeah, on the Baltimore front, I kind of feel the
- 24:14Speaker 1: exact same way, even though he's been heavily linked to
- 24:17Speaker 1: the Ravens.
- 24:18Speaker 2: Apparently the Ravens rinched.
- 24:19Speaker 1: Even Lamar Jackson has commented on Clint Kubiak the offensive coordinator.
- 24:24Speaker 2: Maybe that one.
- 24:25Speaker 1: Makes a little more sense to me, but still not
- 24:28Speaker 1: a lot of sense. And yet from kubiak standpoint, there's
- 24:31Speaker 1: no way that I'm leaving the situation if I'm not
- 24:35Speaker 1: sure I'm one hundred percent ready, unless it's something as
- 24:39Speaker 1: good as the Baltimore job or the Buffalo job, yeah,
- 24:42Speaker 1: you know, or the Pittsburgh job because of the job
- 24:44Speaker 1: security that goes along with it and the history of it. So,
- 24:48Speaker 1: I mean, he if he gets the opportunity at one
- 24:51Speaker 1: of those premiere jobs, he's got to take it, whether
- 24:54Speaker 1: he's ready or not. But if those fill up and
- 24:59Speaker 1: Clint Kubiak's like, well, I can be a head coach
- 25:01Speaker 1: right now for the Cardinals and have to go against
- 25:03Speaker 1: McDonald McVeigh and six.
- 25:07Speaker 2: Times a year.
- 25:08Speaker 1: Or I could just use another year of seasoning for
- 25:11Speaker 1: a great team under a great head coach, and maybe
- 25:14Speaker 1: I'm more equipped next season.
- 25:16Speaker 2: That would that's sort of the rub right there.
- 25:18Speaker 7: I would like it if you took that route, because again,
- 25:20Speaker 7: I would like him to stay here for another year.
- 25:23Speaker 7: I just think the turnover at offensive coordinator is so
- 25:25Speaker 7: great because if you have a good one, everybody wants them,
- 25:29Speaker 7: and if you have a bad one, you fire them.
- 25:31Speaker 7: So I think we could use some consistency there, So selfishly,
- 25:33Speaker 7: I hope that's the rout.
- 25:34Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 25:36Speaker 1: And then speaking of offensive coordinators, Eric the Enemy brought
- 25:39Speaker 1: back to Kansas City yesterday and Mike McDaniel hired by
- 25:44Speaker 1: the Los Angeles Chargers.
- 25:46Speaker 2: So Jim Harbaugh, I am just sitting here, like, how
- 25:50Speaker 2: is that chemistry gonna work? That's going to be a room.
- 25:55Speaker 6: You're fantastic, gonna be a room of weirdness.
- 25:58Speaker 3: Yes, that's a great way of putting. It's a room weird.
- 26:00Speaker 1: Yeah, because I don't think Jim Harball is necessarily some ballbuster.
- 26:06Speaker 1: But uh, and so I don't think it's like putting
- 26:08Speaker 1: McDaniel with Belichick.
- 26:10Speaker 3: That would be a disaster.
- 26:13Speaker 1: But yet the weirdness of them both combined, I'm not
- 26:17Speaker 1: sure how that's gonna work.
- 26:19Speaker 3: Yeah, apparently their dinner they had last night was going well,
- 26:22Speaker 3: like to the point where he just wasn't going to
- 26:24Speaker 3: leave La and that's what was going to happen. So
- 26:26Speaker 3: they must have got along well or I don't know,
- 26:28Speaker 3: maybe some had a lot of good first dates that
- 26:30Speaker 3: didn't go averages.
- 26:31Speaker 6: Yeah, it was. It was still highly entertaining.
- 26:33Speaker 3: It felt good after.
- 26:34Speaker 1: The first date, and yeah, like this is I'm going
- 26:37Speaker 1: to marry this girl. And then the next day, you know,
- 26:40Speaker 1: I have a rabbit being boiled on my.
- 26:43Speaker 7: Stove, which although in the Harbor McDaniel case, who has
- 26:47Speaker 7: the rabbit?
- 26:48Speaker 3: That's a good question.
- 26:50Speaker 6: I think weirdness or they both woke up more weird.
- 26:53Speaker 3: And they were each boiling a rabbit and they're like this.
- 26:57Speaker 6: That's actually more likely. That's likely, buddy, they.
- 27:01Speaker 1: Were each boiling a rabbit that same thought, I was
- 27:04Speaker 1: gonna leave a dead rabbit in your pot.
- 27:07Speaker 5: Oh my god, I can't believe speak.
- 27:09Speaker 6: Oh my god, this meant to be.
- 27:12Speaker 3: This is hilarious. Gosh, our best cutter.
- 27:15Speaker 6: And then they're like, should we tell anyone else? No,
- 27:17Speaker 6: give this to ourselves.
- 27:18Speaker 2: I've never felt so glenn close to someone.
- 27:21Speaker 6: Oh my god.
- 27:23Speaker 7: Yeah, that's about how I feel like it's gonna work out.
- 27:28Speaker 3: All right.
- 27:28Speaker 1: Coming up next here on the radio program, Yeah, there's Stafford,

- 31:17Speaker 1: Well, anyway, the Seahawks getting ready to take on the Rams,
- 31:23Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't know.
- 31:25Speaker 2: I mean the Seahawk defense.
- 31:26Speaker 1: I'm just gonna trust to the Seahawk defense that has
- 31:28Speaker 1: shown up most of the time is going to show
- 31:31Speaker 1: up for this game on Sunday, of course, the two
- 31:34Speaker 1: times they face the Rams. For some reason, one of
- 31:37Speaker 1: those games, so the Rams gathered five hundred and eighty
- 31:40Speaker 1: yards of offense and Puka Nakula was responsible for two
- 31:43Speaker 1: hundred and twenty five of them. Chris Collinsworth, who is
- 31:48Speaker 1: associated with Pro Football Focus, said during the broadcast, He's
- 31:52Speaker 1: not only our best receiver that we have graded out
- 31:56Speaker 1: this year, he is our number one player in the
- 31:59Speaker 1: NFL that we have graded out this year. I mean,
- 32:02Speaker 1: Hugh Millen has said recently, I think he might be
- 32:05Speaker 1: the best non quarterback and the National Football League. Collinsworth said,
- 32:09Speaker 1: throw them all in a pot. He's the best at
- 32:11Speaker 1: his job of anyone in the National Football League right now.
- 32:15Speaker 1: A fifth rounder who got who John Donovan couldn't figure
- 32:18Speaker 1: out how to use it? You dub h fifth rounder
- 32:22Speaker 1: is here a few years later and Chris collins Worth
- 32:26Speaker 1: calling him the best football player in the world right now.
- 32:29Speaker 3: Oh, I mean he's unbelievable. I mean his hands, anything
- 32:31Speaker 3: touches his hands, he catches, and then it's what he
- 32:34Speaker 3: does afterwards. It's We've seen guys come through the NFL
- 32:37Speaker 3: before that have some of the same skill sets and
- 32:40Speaker 3: that you get. I get worried as a as a
- 32:42Speaker 3: fan or a viewer just because you're like, how are
- 32:45Speaker 3: you not getting rolled up on? And yet he doesn't care.
- 32:48Speaker 3: He doesn't He plays kind of with reckless abandon about
- 32:50Speaker 3: going across the middle. He's not wanting to go down.
- 32:54Speaker 3: Some people should. Tyler lockets a priming jone. You just
- 32:56Speaker 3: go down. You're going to get hurt if you don't.
- 32:59Speaker 3: He doesn't go down. It takes a lot to bring
- 33:01Speaker 3: him to the ground. And then the fact that that
- 33:04Speaker 3: Sean McVay has a weapon like that to kind of
- 33:07Speaker 3: unleash on people. I mean, they're just you don't see
- 33:11Speaker 3: very many people that are going to put up twelve catch,
- 33:14Speaker 3: two hundred and twenty five yard game two touchdowns against anybody,
- 33:18Speaker 3: let alone the Seahawks defense at one point in time.
- 33:20Speaker 3: So I mean, there's that is a weapon. I was
- 33:23Speaker 3: saying last week, you got to figure out a way,
- 33:25Speaker 3: or the last two weeks, you got to figure out
- 33:27Speaker 3: a way to stop Christian McCaffrey. That's that kind of
- 33:30Speaker 3: X factor, that wild card that the Niners have. Well
- 33:34Speaker 3: they found a way to do that. You got to
- 33:35Speaker 3: figure out a way to shut him down. Now that's
- 33:37Speaker 3: not the only weapon they have. They've kyn Williams who
- 33:40Speaker 3: can run and Matthew Stafford who can deliver it to
- 33:42Speaker 3: some other guys. But I don't think you win if
- 33:44Speaker 3: you let him catch twelve balls for two twenty five. Again, No,
- 33:47Speaker 3: I think you got real lucky.
- 33:49Speaker 2: Yeah, I think.
- 33:50Speaker 1: I think the best hands I've ever seen Chris Carter,
- 33:55Speaker 1: Like theywhere they were so soft and he just absorbed
- 33:57Speaker 1: the football and never I don't know if you ever
- 33:59Speaker 1: dropped to pass in his entire career, but I think
- 34:02Speaker 1: the strongest hands of a receiver I've ever seen.
- 34:04Speaker 3: Are Puka Nakua.
- 34:06Speaker 1: I mean some of the catches that he makes. I
- 34:08Speaker 1: mean he can just be at a really awkward angle
- 34:10Speaker 1: and Stafford will fire it in there and it.
- 34:13Speaker 3: Just yeah, it's just there's no babble. They're just like bang.
- 34:17Speaker 1: It's just like a Venus fly trap bang. Yeah, he
- 34:21Speaker 1: has the strongest hands. And then all those other attributes
- 34:24Speaker 1: that you spoke of. I mean, they're going to use
- 34:25Speaker 1: him in the running game. He's good at run blocking
- 34:28Speaker 1: around the edge. He's so damn physical, and yet he's
- 34:32Speaker 1: also their greatest deep ball threat as well. I mean,
- 34:35Speaker 1: he really has developed into one hell of a special player.
- 34:39Speaker 1: And I didn't see it coming, obviously, no one in
- 34:41Speaker 1: the NFL saw it coming.
- 34:42Speaker 3: Yeah, it reminds me of me a lot when I
- 34:44Speaker 3: was in high school. I was told I have really
- 34:47Speaker 3: strong hands, like rocks, like rocks, just clank.
- 34:51Speaker 6: I don't think that's good.
- 34:52Speaker 3: That's that's not the thing. That's not where you're going.
- 34:55Speaker 6: You're supposed to have soft hands. Oh, but my mind
- 34:58Speaker 6: was strong, strong, but soft.
- 35:00Speaker 3: Oh I didn't have this rock like is not.
- 35:03Speaker 1: Those people are called stone hands. Oh that's good to
- 35:06Speaker 1: be called that if you're a boxer. Oh yeah, but
- 35:08Speaker 1: not so much as.
- 35:09Speaker 3: Okay, so that makes sense now that you think about it.
- 35:13Speaker 3: I think about it. So it wasn't a compliment. No, huh, No,
- 35:18Speaker 3: I ruined it.
- 35:18Speaker 1: You've held that a little bit, that little tiny fire
- 35:21Speaker 1: in your heart all these years.
- 35:22Speaker 3: We just doused it, and I really don't like it. Well, okay,
- 35:26Speaker 3: a little bit.
- 35:27Speaker 6: Later and you probably should.
- 35:29Speaker 3: But you also strong hands.
- 35:31Speaker 6: We wouldn't be your friends if we didn't tell you
- 35:32Speaker 6: the truth.
- 35:33Speaker 3: You could have lied to me on this one. I
- 35:35Speaker 3: mean we were almost a break. We could have just
- 35:38Speaker 3: let it go, you could have it was my happy day. Yeah.
- 35:43Speaker 2: Well, anyway, you can go.
- 35:45Speaker 6: To Snowama Casino and your day will be happy to.
- 35:47Speaker 2: Hang in their stone hands all right?
- 35:49Speaker 1: Coming up next, uh, we'll talk about well we got
- 35:53Speaker 1: a power play word for you, and we will also
- 35:55Speaker 1: talk about this quarterback matchup, really sink our teeth into
- 35:59Speaker 1: it for the first time this week.
