0:46
Speaker 2: don't stop. So I've heard, Yeah, Andrew, I just needed
0:50
Speaker 2: to tell anders I knew you knew that.
0:53
Speaker 3: Yeah, but thank you for the information.
0:54
Speaker 2: Yeah, Andrews isn't here every day and sometimes young people
0:57
Speaker 2: need a heavy handed reminder, right yeah, right, yeah. So anyway,
1:02
Speaker 2: so here we go your eight top stories as we
1:05
Speaker 2: get ready for the weekend and also recap this week.
1:08
Speaker 3: Not that we've been here all week long, and we.
1:11
Speaker 2: Will, of course start it off with the game of
1:14
Speaker 2: the year in the National Football League's regular season Seahawks
1:19
Speaker 2: forty nine Ers to play tomorrow night in Santa Clara.
1:22
Speaker 2: There is a lot on the line. The division title
1:26
Speaker 2: is on the line. The number one seed throughout the
1:28
Speaker 2: NFC playoffs is on the line, a first round by
1:32
Speaker 2: which no one else anymore gets in the NFL playoffs.
1:36
Speaker 2: Just the one seed gets a first round by that
1:39
Speaker 2: is on the line. Home field advantage throughout the playoffs,
1:42
Speaker 2: that's on the line, and the Seahawks have that to
1:45
Speaker 2: play for. But here's the catch. The forty nine ers
1:49
Speaker 2: have the exact same incentive that can fall their way.
1:56
Speaker 3: Did you know what time it is? It's game time?
2:02
Speaker 1: All ready for this?
2:04
Speaker 3: Oh no, they were ready for that.
2:07
Speaker 2: Yeah, forty nine ers are just as ready for that
2:10
Speaker 2: as we are.
2:11
Speaker 3: So here we go.
2:13
Speaker 2: Let's get it on. I'm a little.
2:15
Speaker 3: Surprised the forty nine ers are here.
2:16
Speaker 2: I think most of the countries a very surprised that
2:19
Speaker 2: the Seahawks are here in this position.
2:22
Speaker 3: But they both earned it.
2:24
Speaker 2: Kyle Shanahan's done a remarkable coaching job, overcoming injuries and
2:28
Speaker 2: various other hindrances this year. Meanwhile, the Seahawks have overcome expectations.
2:33
Speaker 2: They've gotten Pro Bowl quarterback play out of free agent
2:37
Speaker 2: signee Sam Darnold, and Mike McDonald's defense has certainly kicked
2:41
Speaker 2: it into a high gear here in year number two.
2:45
Speaker 2: This is a sensational matchup just on its own merits Bucky,
2:50
Speaker 2: but yeah, everything else that goes into it.
2:52
Speaker 3: Man, this is what being a sports fans all about.
2:54
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, you get through the long season right,
2:57
Speaker 4: and started with the loss to the San Francisco forty
3:01
Speaker 4: nine ers in Week one, and so you'd get that
3:03
Speaker 4: full season of all right, well we got to basically
3:06
Speaker 4: right the ship after Week one.
3:07
Speaker 3: They did that.
3:08
Speaker 4: Basically, and then they've found themselves, you know, battling kind
3:12
Speaker 4: of you gotta go tit for tat with all these
3:14
Speaker 4: other teams in your division to try to figure this
3:17
Speaker 4: whole thing and out. Now it's coming out in the
3:19
Speaker 4: wash that the Rams have basically fallen off just enough
3:23
Speaker 4: to where they're no longer in the mix. But the
3:25
Speaker 4: Niners have somehow clung and found away with without the quarterback,
3:30
Speaker 4: without a couple of their bigger playmakers on the defensive side,
3:32
Speaker 4: and I mean even George Kittle missing a bunch of time,
3:35
Speaker 4: They've found a way to still be sitting here, like, hey,
3:39
Speaker 4: everybody counted us out, you know when we were whatever
3:41
Speaker 4: six and five or seven and five or something. At
3:44
Speaker 4: one point in the season. They rattled off a bunch
3:46
Speaker 4: of wins. You're going against the Seahawks. I think it's big.
3:49
Speaker 4: I think that both these teams kind of feel like
3:51
Speaker 4: this might be the difference between really making a run
3:54
Speaker 4: and winning a Super Bowl and not not to say
3:56
Speaker 4: you can't. I feel like the Seahawks could go on
3:59
Speaker 4: the road from a wild card spot and still do
4:03
Speaker 4: damage in the playoffs, but boy, the road is a
4:05
Speaker 4: whole heck of a lot easier if you get to
4:06
Speaker 4: stay at home the whole time.
4:07
Speaker 3: Yeh.
4:08
Speaker 2: Think about San Francisco's situation. They get to be at
4:11
Speaker 2: home for the entire playoffs because the Super bowls in
4:14
Speaker 2: Santa Clara this year, so they would have home field
4:16
Speaker 2: advantage throughout the entire playoffs, or they could lose and
4:20
Speaker 2: end up with the sixth seed. They like, the Seahawks
4:25
Speaker 2: can only fall to the five seed and have all
4:28
Speaker 2: road game against Carolina in Round number one, of the
4:31
Speaker 2: playoffs are possibly Tampa, where the forty nine Ers could
4:36
Speaker 2: go from home field advantage throughout the entire playoffs, or
4:40
Speaker 2: you start your playoffs on the road, potentially at Philadelphia
4:45
Speaker 2: for goodness sake, right, crappy weather defending champs. I mean
4:50
Speaker 2: those are two completely different roads.
4:53
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, to some degree.
4:55
Speaker 2: I mean, deciding and Wizard of Oz just like you know,
4:59
Speaker 2: there's a golden brick road that I could follow, or
5:02
Speaker 2: I could just go over through this briar patch.
5:06
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, and go see him. Nobody chooses. Nobody chooses
5:10
Speaker 3: the briar patch, but.
5:11
Speaker 4: The Seahawks might tell him, you don't have a choice.
5:14
Speaker 4: You go through those brambles.
5:16
Speaker 2: Go through the brambles, Niners, We're sending you through the brambles.
5:20
Speaker 2: Charles Cross is not gonna play at left tackle for
5:23
Speaker 2: the Seahawks. We don't know if Trent Williams is gonna
5:26
Speaker 2: play at left tackle for the San Francisco.
5:28
Speaker 3: Forty nine Ers.
5:28
Speaker 2: He's on the injury report, but our backup is also
5:32
Speaker 2: at left tackle. On the injury report is Josh Jones
5:35
Speaker 2: is questionable for this game. Thankfully, Greg Bell, our Seahawks insider,
5:39
Speaker 2: was on the ball this morning at seven o'clock with
5:42
Speaker 2: us and gave us the latest update on Josh Jones.
5:45
Speaker 5: Well, Josh Jones is trending toward playing now. He practiced
5:48
Speaker 5: yesterday for the first time this week. This is questionable,
5:52
Speaker 5: but he looked the very fact he was on the
5:55
Speaker 5: field yesterday, the last full practice. I'm gonna like practice
5:59
Speaker 5: forget him the plane afternoon to Santa Clara, but I
6:02
Speaker 5: think he's gonna play. We'll talk to Mike McDonald this afternoon.
6:06
Speaker 5: They did bring up Amari Kite, the undrafted rookie from
6:09
Speaker 5: Central Florida who has impressed them since the spring. They
6:13
Speaker 5: signed him to the active roster from the practice squad
6:16
Speaker 5: as an insurance contingency plan. But I'm gonna think right
6:22
Speaker 5: now without having you talk to McDonald. Reading the tea
6:25
Speaker 5: leaves at what I saw yesterday, I think it's going
6:27
Speaker 5: to be Josh Jones starting again. And they like what
6:29
Speaker 5: they've seen him. As Quint Kobek said yesterday, as we've
6:32
Speaker 5: been talking about, this is why they signed him. The
6:34
Speaker 5: two games that Jones has played for Cross being injured.
6:38
Speaker 5: They like what they've seen from Josh Jones, and it
6:40
Speaker 5: looks like perhaps crisis averted that Jones will be able
6:44
Speaker 5: to start in place across on Saturday night.
6:46
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean that's the NFL and you get to
6:49
Speaker 2: week eighteen. I mean, part of winning a Super Bowl
6:52
Speaker 2: is staying healthy. It's a much bigger part than what
6:56
Speaker 2: we even led on. We want to talk about matchups
6:58
Speaker 2: all the time and this and that and free agent
7:02
Speaker 2: signings and trades and everything else. Really a big part
7:05
Speaker 2: of whether or not you can win a Super Bowl
7:07
Speaker 2: is whether or not you're the healthiest team toward the
7:10
Speaker 2: end of the year and ready for the playoff run.
7:13
Speaker 2: Forty nine ers are banged up too. I mentioned Trent Williams.
7:16
Speaker 2: George Kittle's questionable for this game. Christian McCaffrey is going
7:19
Speaker 2: to play, but he's not one hundred percent right now.
7:22
Speaker 2: But Bucky, to go into your biggest game of the
7:24
Speaker 2: year and maybe.
7:27
Speaker 3: Have to play your third string.
7:29
Speaker 2: Left tackle, that pivotal of a position, with your quarterback
7:33
Speaker 2: not playing his best right now, and your inability all
7:38
Speaker 2: season long to establish that running game even though you've
7:41
Speaker 2: tried your hardest, it feels very important that Josh Jones
7:45
Speaker 2: plays and pays in this game and plays well.
7:48
Speaker 3: Is healthy enough to play well? Yeah? Well, I mean, ultimately,
7:51
Speaker 3: everybody's going to have injuries.
7:53
Speaker 4: It's how good is the next guy up or how
7:56
Speaker 4: important is the position? And left tackle is one that
7:59
Speaker 4: I think are pretty lucky. Lucky the fact that they
8:02
Speaker 4: have a guy like Josh Jones that can fill in,
8:04
Speaker 4: and I mean he would be starting if he was
8:07
Speaker 4: better than Charles Cross. But the fact that it's not
8:10
Speaker 4: a giant drop off you haven't seen like, oh my gosh,
8:12
Speaker 4: it's a how did you call it a turnstile or
8:15
Speaker 4: like a revolving door. He's not a revolving door out there.
8:18
Speaker 4: He can play, and he's been playing pretty well, and
8:21
Speaker 4: when he has had to fill in for anybody, yeah,
8:24
Speaker 4: if he's not there, I mean, I don't even know
8:25
Speaker 4: what you're going to feel like at that next point
8:28
Speaker 4: in such a big game, right when all of a sudden,
8:30
Speaker 4: somebody that just doesn't get any snaps period is all
8:33
Speaker 4: of a sudden thrust into the biggest game of the
8:34
Speaker 4: season with all this on the line.
8:36
Speaker 3: I feel good about it.
8:37
Speaker 2: I felt to me like after last week there was
8:41
Speaker 2: an awful lot of talk about how how bad the
8:44
Speaker 2: Seahawks looked because the offense isn't functioning quite as highly
8:48
Speaker 2: as it was earlier in the season, and how phenomenal
8:52
Speaker 2: San Francisco looked against the Bears, even though they gave
8:55
Speaker 2: up a lot of points and nearly lost that game
8:57
Speaker 2: to the Chicago Bears at home. Oh by the way,
9:00
Speaker 2: but I think our defense is playing every bed as
9:04
Speaker 2: well as their offense right now, and I feel good
9:07
Speaker 2: about it. I mean, opening line of the Seahawks being
9:10
Speaker 2: a four and a half point underdog to suddenly being
9:13
Speaker 2: a point and a half favorite on the road against
9:16
Speaker 2: the San Francisco forty nine Ers shows you where the
9:20
Speaker 2: smart money seems to be for this game.
9:23
Speaker 3: It feels to.
9:24
Speaker 2: Me like it started off people were expecting the forty
9:26
Speaker 2: nine ers to trounce and the more that they thought
9:28
Speaker 2: about it, they're like, I don't know, this Seahawks team
9:31
Speaker 2: looks pretty complete, and suddenly they emerge as the favorites
9:35
Speaker 2: going into Saturday Night.
9:36
Speaker 3: Yeah.
9:36
Speaker 4: Well, you get to this point in the season and
9:38
Speaker 4: you know you're gonna go over all the aspects. You're
9:40
Speaker 4: gonna look at what it is that teams do well,
9:42
Speaker 4: and then you're gonna kind of nitpick and point out
9:44
Speaker 4: the things that they do poorly. I think that you know, Obviously,
9:47
Speaker 4: turnovers is a big one for Sam Donold and just
9:50
Speaker 4: for the Seahawks in general. But there's way more pros.
9:53
Speaker 4: There's way more things that you look at and you're like,
9:56
Speaker 4: that is a maze. I mean, all of this talk
9:59
Speaker 4: about Sam Arnold, he still is basically second as far
10:03
Speaker 4: as quarterbacks go in the league, behind Matt Stafford. And
10:07
Speaker 4: I just think that there's there's a whole heck of
10:09
Speaker 4: a lot of ways in which the Seahawks can.
10:11
Speaker 3: Win this thing.
10:11
Speaker 4: I don't think the Niners have as many ways, although
10:14
Speaker 4: they still have ways. They have some players and their
10:16
Speaker 4: offenses playing well.
10:17
Speaker 2: Here's what I've decided is the way that I want
10:20
Speaker 2: to win tomorrow night. I want us to lose the
10:23
Speaker 2: turnover battle by six turnovers and still win by thirty.
10:27
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, that'd be interesting, likely.
10:33
Speaker 2: For turnover ratio, and yet the Seahawks still won.
10:37
Speaker 3: Forty to ten. That's gonna be hard to do. You
10:43
Speaker 3: want to make it hard on yourself, We'll be hard
10:46
Speaker 3: if you win by thirty. True.
10:49
Speaker 2: All right, NFL Week number eighteen is here. It will
10:52
Speaker 2: start tomorrow at one thirty Carolina at Tampa Bay. And
10:56
Speaker 2: that's not a I mean, if Carolina they win the division.
11:01
Speaker 2: Not the case anymore with Tampa Bay because Atlanta has
11:04
Speaker 2: ugly things up for the Buccaneers. The Buccaneers are going
11:07
Speaker 2: to need to win and Atlanta has to lose on
11:10
Speaker 2: Sunday otherwise Carolina gets in either way. So that's on
11:15
Speaker 2: the line.
11:16
Speaker 3: It will feel a.
11:17
Speaker 2: Bit playoff of a but it's not as cut and
11:20
Speaker 2: dry as what the schedule makers hoped it would be
11:23
Speaker 2: when they put it to lead off week number eighteen
11:26
Speaker 2: at one thirty tomorrow and then the Hawks forty nine
11:29
Speaker 2: ers at five o'clock Sunday. Mostly just seating is on
11:34
Speaker 2: the line. Number one pick in the draft will be
11:36
Speaker 2: on the line. But Sunday night, Baltimore at Pittsburgh. Now
11:40
Speaker 2: that's a cut and dry affair right there. That's for
11:43
Speaker 2: the AFC North title. The winner gets the final seat
11:47
Speaker 2: on the playoff bus. The loser is completely out. And
11:51
Speaker 2: if you were wondering, Lamar Jackson said, one hundred percent,
11:55
Speaker 2: I'm going to play.
11:56
Speaker 3: Couldn't miss it.
11:57
Speaker 6: I never could on my team before, you know, SOO
12:00
Speaker 6: quit any king of Also, I don't know where I
12:03
Speaker 6: know it came from, but like I already know, my
12:04
Speaker 6: brother gonna he gonna put it off if I couldn't
12:07
Speaker 6: get it done, you.
12:07
Speaker 2: Know, so Lamar's gonna play in this game. Look, I
12:11
Speaker 2: love Lamar Jackson. I think he's had a phenomenal career.
12:14
Speaker 2: I think he got absolutely rob blind for the MVP
12:17
Speaker 2: a year ago.
12:18
Speaker 3: But I'm here a little bit of this.
12:20
Speaker 2: Like, it's not fair to criticize Lamar Jackson now considering
12:24
Speaker 2: the great.
12:25
Speaker 3: Career he said.
12:26
Speaker 2: I don't care how great of a career a guy
12:31
Speaker 2: puts together. If he's not doing the things to be
12:34
Speaker 2: a leader and he's not focused on the task at hand,
12:39
Speaker 2: of course he's open to criticism. I mean Tom Brady
12:42
Speaker 2: would have shown up after winning a Super Bowl for
12:45
Speaker 2: the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and came back like four in
12:48
Speaker 2: the Avengers end game with a big beer belly and
12:51
Speaker 2: you know was trying to sleep with it all his
12:53
Speaker 2: teammates wives. Yeah, you better believe. I don't care. If
12:58
Speaker 2: you are to the goat, you're subject to criticism in
13:00
Speaker 2: the moment. So if he's not as been as focused,
13:02
Speaker 2: if he's playing too many video games, if he's smoking
13:05
Speaker 2: too much weed.
13:06
Speaker 3: Or whatever the reputation is.
13:08
Speaker 2: Yes, Lamar Jackson has not had as good a season
13:11
Speaker 2: this year, and it sounds like there are some reasons why.
13:13
Speaker 2: So he's fair play for criticism just as much as
13:16
Speaker 2: everybody else. And that doesn't mean that he's not phenomenal
13:20
Speaker 2: and hasn't had a phenomenal Hall of Fame career. But
13:22
Speaker 2: in this moment, Lamar Jackson's got a lot to prove.
13:25
Speaker 3: On Sunday Night.
13:26
Speaker 2: He says he's one hundred percent ready to go. Let's
13:28
Speaker 2: see you play like Lamar Jackson. Otherwise I think it
13:31
Speaker 2: will be an off season.
13:32
Speaker 3: Of criticism for sure.
13:33
Speaker 4: I mean, I suppose outside of maybe being forty four
13:37
Speaker 4: years old retired for five years, but even that, I mean,
13:41
Speaker 4: if you know, if Phillis phil Philip Rivers are calling
13:45
Speaker 4: Phillis quivers, you know that. But if Rivers would have
13:48
Speaker 4: came back and thrown three four picks and just looked atrocious,
13:52
Speaker 4: he would have gotten criticized. And yet people would have been, yeah, well,
13:55
Speaker 4: what do you expect he hasn't played in five years.
13:58
Speaker 3: If you're an MVP.
14:00
Speaker 4: Caliber guy and then you come and you have a
14:02
Speaker 4: subpar year and your team is on the outs and
14:05
Speaker 4: might possibly miss the playoffs, yeah there's room for criticism.
14:09
Speaker 4: You're still getting paid that big money. You're still the
14:11
Speaker 4: quarterback that's running the team. If you're not playing up
14:14
Speaker 4: to what the standard you've set for yourself and.
14:17
Speaker 2: The Yeah, and there are some reasons, unflattering reasons as
14:23
Speaker 2: to why people or speculating as to why you're not
14:26
Speaker 2: playing as well. If those are true in any way,
14:29
Speaker 2: you better believe you you have to face criticism at
14:32
Speaker 2: that point. I don't care what you've accomplished in the past.
14:34
Speaker 2: So anyway, that'll be Sunday night. It will be fantastic.
14:38
Speaker 2: And I'm rooting for Lamar and Baltimore quite frankly, let's uh,
14:43
Speaker 2: I'd like to see them get that done. College football playoff, well,
14:47
Speaker 2: we had a triple adder yesterday on New Year's Day.
14:50
Speaker 2: The first couple of games were blowouts. Some people were
14:53
Speaker 2: a little noisy about that, not sure why. But in
14:57
Speaker 2: the last game of the day, Ole Miss and Joy.
15:00
Speaker 2: If you were starting to lose steam being on your tenth, eleventh,
15:03
Speaker 2: twelfth hour of sitting on your butt watching football yesterday,
15:07
Speaker 2: man did Ole Miss and Georgia infuse the excitement to
15:12
Speaker 2: see that one through? It was an instant plastic.
15:15
Speaker 7: Chambles love bing it up day Fox Day shots truggling
15:20
Speaker 7: Turco from behind by the medal jobs of the thirty
15:26
Speaker 7: want to call my Charlie Weiss a forty yards.
15:30
Speaker 3: They're in field goal range. Now for card Errow to.
15:34
Speaker 2: Give them the lead and likely send them on to
15:37
Speaker 2: the semifinal forty seven yards.
15:44
Speaker 7: And it is dude right on the medal.
15:53
Speaker 2: Yes, being on the call last night, Ole Miss wins.
15:55
Speaker 2: It ended up with a weird safety late and went
15:58
Speaker 2: at thirty nine to thirty four. Three things. That kicker
16:03
Speaker 2: might be the best kicker in the world eighty not
16:07
Speaker 2: just college football, he might be the best kicker in
16:09
Speaker 2: the world too. I've never heard Sean McDonough more excited
16:14
Speaker 2: on a call for four s great quarters than what
16:17
Speaker 2: I saw because he just kept having to go back
16:20
Speaker 2: to that top ten, like I got to go to
16:23
Speaker 2: a ten again because he started at Yeah, he just
16:27
Speaker 2: had to keep going back to it. He was like
16:29
Speaker 2: Gus Johnson like last night and then number three man.
16:33
Speaker 2: That Chamberliss is one heck of a playmaker. I'm so
16:36
Speaker 2: happy for old Miss, and I hope Lane Kifvin's miserable.
16:39
Speaker 4: Yeah, I wish he was too, but I don't know
16:42
Speaker 4: if he is, he's probably pretty happy that his team's
16:45
Speaker 4: going out there and performing. I'm sure he loves those guys,
16:47
Speaker 4: even though he kind of jumped ship. That game was crazy.
16:51
Speaker 4: I mean that fourth downs are fake punts and all
16:53
Speaker 4: of the stuff that It felt very college football.
16:56
Speaker 3: You know, I'm here for all of it.
16:58
Speaker 2: Rebels advanced to me Miami in the final four. The Canes.
17:03
Speaker 2: They defeated Ohio State on New Year's Eve, winning the
17:05
Speaker 2: Cotton Bowl twenty four to fourteen. Oregon whooped up on
17:09
Speaker 2: Texas Tech, shutting out the Red Raiders twenty three to nothing.
17:12
Speaker 3: And Indiana just.
17:14
Speaker 2: Absolutely crushed Alabama thirty eight to three to advance two
17:20
Speaker 2: the semifinals. The final four is now set in college football. Thursday,
17:25
Speaker 2: it'll be Miami versus Old Miss at four thirty. Friday
17:29
Speaker 2: Oregon versus Indiana at four thirty as well, And we're
17:33
Speaker 2: gonna talk more about these games coming up at eight
17:36
Speaker 2: thirty here.
17:37
Speaker 3: Today on Chuck and Buck.
17:39
Speaker 2: Oh, by the way, it's not the only thing going
17:41
Speaker 2: on in college football. As if it wasn't enough to
17:43
Speaker 2: prepare for a final four game in college football, the
17:47
Speaker 2: transfer portal opens today today. Ole Miss coaches didn't fly
17:54
Speaker 2: back with their team because so many of them are
17:57
Speaker 2: on Lane Kiffin's staff at LSU. They to LSU after
18:01
Speaker 2: that thrilling victory last night to prepare for transfer portal
18:05
Speaker 2: to put on purple hats, purple and yellow hats as
18:08
Speaker 2: opposed to blue and red. Nick Saban has had enough
18:11
Speaker 2: of it, and he talked about it yesterday on game day.
18:14
Speaker 8: You need to change the calendar. Okay, So chaos and
18:20
Speaker 8: college football starts tomorrow the portal opens. There's all already
18:25
Speaker 8: been one hundred and twenty starters say they're getting in
18:28
Speaker 8: the port from you.
18:30
Speaker 3: Know, big powerful schools. Wow.
18:32
Speaker 8: So what happens if ole Miss wins and Oregon wins?
18:38
Speaker 8: So Oregon's got two coordinators trying to take guys from
18:42
Speaker 8: their team to their team and guys from other teams
18:45
Speaker 8: to their team. And ole Miss has got six coaches
18:48
Speaker 8: going to LSU trying to take guys to LSU from
18:51
Speaker 8: their team. But they got to play a game. So
18:53
Speaker 8: now is that chaos or is that chaos totally? This
18:57
Speaker 8: whole college football calendar knee change.
19:01
Speaker 2: Immediately like that has to be the objective. As soon
19:05
Speaker 2: as the season's over, you do it. This one crazy
19:07
Speaker 2: last time, and then that has to change immediately. So
19:11
Speaker 2: a lot of people want Nick Saban to be a
19:13
Speaker 2: commissioner of college football.
19:15
Speaker 3: Maybe that's the right decision there.
19:18
Speaker 2: Well, Indiana's basketball program is sort of an afterthought these days,
19:23
Speaker 2: and yet you double get to face them coming up
19:26
Speaker 2: on Sunday. And if I know anything about coaches basketball
19:31
Speaker 2: coaches in Indiana, you dubb has to worry about one
19:34
Speaker 2: play and one play only.
19:35
Speaker 7: All right, listen to it, not just the last shot
19:37
Speaker 7: that we got. All right, we're going to run the
19:41
Speaker 7: pick of fans out. Yep, you're the swing man, Jimmy,
19:47
Speaker 7: You're all the right, alright, we should be open swinging
19:51
Speaker 7: around the end of that fans yew. Boys, don't get
19:55
Speaker 7: caught watching a painton.
19:57
Speaker 2: Hear that, Danny Sprinkle. I don't think you need to
19:59
Speaker 2: learn anything else. Just don't get caught watching the painte
20:02
Speaker 2: right now.
20:02
Speaker 4: That'll catch you for sure. And I understand the picket fence.
20:06
Speaker 4: I mean he should be able to run a practice
20:08
Speaker 4: against it and figure out how to defend it.
20:10
Speaker 3: It's the only play they run in the state of Indiana.
20:12
Speaker 2: I hear the Huskies are nine to four coming off
20:14
Speaker 2: a seventy four to sixty five win over Utah. Here
20:18
Speaker 2: we are January tewond and this team is a part
20:21
Speaker 2: of an eighteen team conference, and yet they've only played
20:24
Speaker 2: two Big Ten games so far this year. Splitting him
20:27
Speaker 2: as they prepare for Sunday showdown with what used to
20:30
Speaker 2: be a basketball school. Indiana is also one in one
20:33
Speaker 2: in conference play and ten and three on the year.
20:37
Speaker 2: I believe that's a five o'clock start on Sunday night.
20:40
Speaker 2: Cracking last night, man, they're back to winning ways. They
20:43
Speaker 2: defeated the Predators, Seattle back.
20:46
Speaker 7: Yet off the faces, the captain down the left wing,
20:58
Speaker 7: a squirmvel in front, but Maddy Vaneers leaves the handshake,
21:02
Speaker 7: lide free nothing Seattle.
21:05
Speaker 3: Everybody got a touch on it as well.
21:07
Speaker 9: But it was a good crash to the debt and
21:09
Speaker 9: everybody put the second shot on net and it was
21:12
Speaker 9: finally Matty Veneers.

23:02
Speaker 2: We will be talking Seahawks forty nine ers as we
23:04
Speaker 2: have throughout the morning for the rest of the show.
23:07
Speaker 2: So this is one opportunity for us to talk about
23:10
Speaker 2: the other big story here on this second day of January,
23:13
Speaker 2: on a football Friday.
23:14
Speaker 3: Sounders off season. The Sounders off season.
23:17
Speaker 2: Exactly what are you looking for and winger this offseason?
23:25
Speaker 4: Come up with a holiday or something about it. I mean,
23:30
Speaker 4: draft Patty's Day or something.
23:32
Speaker 3: Don't be silly, ok the top, Jason, You have off seasons,
23:38
Speaker 3: don't you religious? Yeah? Okay?
23:44
Speaker 2: Uh? No college football playoff yesterday. It's our second year
23:49
Speaker 2: with this format, and certainly there are a lot of
23:52
Speaker 2: things to talk about about the games themselves, and I'll
23:55
Speaker 2: start there. I mean, what we're watching from in Indiana.
24:01
Speaker 2: I realized that they make a big deal out of it.
24:04
Speaker 2: I don't think you can make a big enough deal
24:07
Speaker 2: out of it. I mean, this is the losingest program
24:10
Speaker 2: in college football history, and in two years Kurt Signetti
24:15
Speaker 2: has turned them into not only the best team in
24:17
Speaker 2: college football it appears, but.
24:21
Speaker 3: They just destroyed Alabama. That wasn't even close.
24:27
Speaker 2: And Alabama, you know, of course out of the SEC
24:30
Speaker 2: and everybody from the SEC. Oh, finally Indiana, any I
24:34
Speaker 2: hadn't playing anybody all year. Ohowo State, Oregon, and so
24:41
Speaker 2: they're finally gonna see what it's like to play a
24:43
Speaker 2: real team. And you saw what it's like to play
24:47
Speaker 2: a real team.
24:47
Speaker 3: All right, beat him. Thirty eight to three was the
24:50
Speaker 3: final score. And so I know he comes up a.
24:53
Speaker 2: Little bit arrogant, but man, I just love like the cold,
24:58
Speaker 2: calculated arrogance of Signetti. It's just like so matter of
25:02
Speaker 2: fact what he says, Oh, yeah.
25:04
Speaker 3: We're gonna win. Yeah, we're awesome, We're gonna keep being awesome.
25:09
Speaker 3: He's just so matter of fact about it.
25:11
Speaker 2: It didn't even offend me at all that he's clearly
25:15
Speaker 2: very arrogant about the way that he approaches things.
25:18
Speaker 4: There's a part, I mean, I love confidence, and then
25:22
Speaker 4: there's a line obviously where it turns into cockiness or arrogance.
25:25
Speaker 3: And he's he's probably over that line for me.
25:29
Speaker 4: I mean, I like I said, if you back it up,
25:31
Speaker 4: then you back it up, and he most certainly is
25:33
Speaker 4: backing it up. There's a there's a part of it
25:35
Speaker 4: that's just like it's I don't know, part is just
25:38
Speaker 4: kind of cringey to me.
25:40
Speaker 3: And you didn't beat Oregon, would you feel the same way.
25:42
Speaker 4: Yeah, Well, it's just how he is when they were
25:44
Speaker 4: going through this game with him twice in one season.
25:47
Speaker 4: That hasn't happened and it's not going to Uh, I'm
25:51
Speaker 4: not going to make that bold prediction today, but no,
25:56
Speaker 4: it's the when the game was still a game, so
25:59
Speaker 4: basically for the first quarter, Yeah, when they were kind
26:01
Speaker 4: of doing some stuff and all of a sudden they
26:03
Speaker 4: panned to him and he's got this weird look on
26:06
Speaker 4: his face.
26:06
Speaker 3: It's like, dude, what are you like?
26:08
Speaker 4: You know, there's cameras on you, and it's it's almost
26:11
Speaker 4: like when John Gruden would be making that chucky face. Yeah,
26:15
Speaker 4: it's like, stop, but that's a face the facial expression
26:19
Speaker 4: does in your face.
26:20
Speaker 3: He does that when you have hand him breakfast cereal.
26:24
Speaker 3: I don't think so. I think there's part of it
26:26
Speaker 3: that there's a show now it works. He's got a program.
26:29
Speaker 4: Like you said, that's one of the what was historically
26:32
Speaker 4: one of the worst, and right now they are, without
26:34
Speaker 4: a doubt, the best team in college football now. Somebody's
26:37
Speaker 4: got to hopefully reverse that trend next week. But that
26:41
Speaker 4: doesn't look like it's very easy to do.
26:44
Speaker 2: Urban Meyer said, it's the greatest coaching job in the
26:47
Speaker 2: history of sports.
26:50
Speaker 3: Urban Meyer.
26:51
Speaker 2: I know he fell on his face in Jacksonville. I
26:54
Speaker 2: realize that, but that's that guy's in the conversation for.
26:57
Speaker 3: Greatest college football coach of all.
26:58
Speaker 2: Time, and he's like, not even He's dismissing himself entirely
27:03
Speaker 2: from his own sport and then taking it even further.
27:07
Speaker 3: I think there might be I mean, he's still got
27:09
Speaker 3: more proving to do. You don't get that title in
27:12
Speaker 3: just two years. But I mean, it is just it's unreal.
27:16
Speaker 3: It's just unreal.
27:16
Speaker 2: And so I know they talk about it a lot.
27:18
Speaker 2: I don't think you can talk about it enough. It
27:21
Speaker 2: is one of the great stories of in my lifetime
27:25
Speaker 2: what Indiana has done to turn things around. The other
27:28
Speaker 2: thing I think I do want to just repeat from
27:30
Speaker 2: our six o'clock hour is I don't care that there
27:34
Speaker 2: are blowouts in the first round of the college football
27:37
Speaker 2: playoff or the second I don't care if there's blowouts
27:39
Speaker 2: in the next round of the playoffs. If Indiana wins
27:43
Speaker 2: each of the next two games by fifty, then we
27:45
Speaker 2: will know, by God, that's the best team in college
27:48
Speaker 2: football and they deserve to win a national championship. That's
27:51
Speaker 2: what this college football playoff format, this is what we've
27:54
Speaker 2: been waiting for, at least I've been waiting for my
27:56
Speaker 2: entire life.
27:57
Speaker 3: To prove it on the field. And what you saw
28:01
Speaker 3: over the.
28:01
Speaker 2: Past forty eight hours, Miami, who would never have had
28:05
Speaker 2: a shot to prove it on the field, proved, my
28:09
Speaker 2: goodness is that a defense and they Ohio State was
28:13
Speaker 2: not the better football team. And so we just didn't decide.
28:17
Speaker 2: We just didn't declare because a committee said it or
28:19
Speaker 2: some people voted for it, that Ohio State gets ushered
28:22
Speaker 2: to the front of the line. They had to face
28:25
Speaker 2: a really good team who might be better than them,
28:28
Speaker 2: but probably not, and it turns out they were. I
28:32
Speaker 2: love that result, even though I had Ohio State winning
28:35
Speaker 2: at all and I'm gonna lose green jacket. I love
28:38
Speaker 2: that result for college football and for the playoff. And
28:41
Speaker 2: I realized there were two blowouts yesterday, but in the
28:44
Speaker 2: old format, Texas Tech would have been in the final
28:48
Speaker 2: four and Oregon wouldn't even have made it to the turn. Now,
28:51
Speaker 2: now now we know what a mistake that would have
28:54
Speaker 2: been had we done it that way. And so that's
28:58
Speaker 2: what we want a college football Playoff four is to
29:03
Speaker 2: actually take this subjective process, and there's some subjectivity that's
29:09
Speaker 2: still involved in it, and figure out a playoff format
29:14
Speaker 2: where we can decide who's the better team on the
29:17
Speaker 2: football field and not with a committee.
29:21
Speaker 7: Or a vote.
29:23
Speaker 2: And so I don't mind that there were blowouts yesterday
29:28
Speaker 2: because now I feel very good about Oregon being in
29:32
Speaker 2: the Final four.
29:33
Speaker 3: And knowing that they are worthy of that.
29:37
Speaker 2: Had you just declared Oregon gets to get in over
29:41
Speaker 2: Texas Tech because they're from a bigger conference, I'd had
29:43
Speaker 2: a huge problem with it. But now I feel perfectly
29:47
Speaker 2: awesome with Oregon being in there over Texas Tech because
29:51
Speaker 2: they're clearly the better team.
29:52
Speaker 3: And I think you can say that across the board. Yeah.
29:55
Speaker 4: Well, I mean the opportunity is what basically this creates, right,
29:59
Speaker 4: It creates it for everybody in college football, including some
30:02
Speaker 4: of the small guys.
30:03
Speaker 3: I like that.
30:03
Speaker 4: I think that there's room for some tweaks to make
30:06
Speaker 4: sure that you still are getting some of the teams
30:09
Speaker 4: that may or may not have been able to do
30:12
Speaker 4: some damage in this tournament format that are left on
30:14
Speaker 4: the outside. You know the fact that there was all
30:17
Speaker 4: the stuff about Miami and Notre Dame. Notre Dame was
30:20
Speaker 4: playing really good football. Wouldn't it have been fun to
30:22
Speaker 4: see what they would have done against somebody in this tournament.
30:24
Speaker 4: It would have been fun. Yes, So there's room for tweaks.
30:27
Speaker 4: There's room for whatever you have to do expansion wise
30:30
Speaker 4: or however you figure out how to do it. But yes,
30:32
Speaker 4: the idea that you flat out now have to go
30:34
Speaker 4: earn it, Yes, you have to go earn it. If
30:37
Speaker 4: I you know, I'm glad that Indiana did advance, so
30:42
Speaker 4: we didn't have two years in a row with the
30:44
Speaker 4: teams that had to buy and had that time off
30:47
Speaker 4: all failed in the first their first game of the
30:49
Speaker 4: College FOOTBA playoffs. I'm glad that they showed up and
30:52
Speaker 4: didn't look like they were rusty at all. And yet
30:55
Speaker 4: the other ones, Oh, Miss Georgia, that game was a
30:58
Speaker 4: barn burner, and you know, two conference foes going at
31:01
Speaker 4: it and figuring out who's better at the end of
31:04
Speaker 4: that day. You're right, Oregon being able to have an opportunity,
31:07
Speaker 4: whereas with the old format they would not have. And
31:11
Speaker 4: and same for Miami to be able to go out
31:13
Speaker 4: there and go up against Ohio State where most people
31:15
Speaker 4: weren't giving them much of a chance, and they said,
31:17
Speaker 4: we believe and they wouldn't absolutely put it on Ohio
31:20
Speaker 4: State and kind of snipered that from them early and
31:23
Speaker 4: then held on it just is the way it's supposed
31:26
Speaker 4: to be done. You're supposed to And like I said,
31:28
Speaker 4: doesn't mean it's perfect yet, but it's closer now than
31:31
Speaker 4: it's ever been before.
31:32
Speaker 3: Yes, for sure.
31:33
Speaker 2: And yeah, they made adjustments after last year and learned
31:36
Speaker 2: from it. We're in the infancy two year old. This
31:38
Speaker 2: is a two year old child here.
31:40
Speaker 3: Yeah. Two year olds don't know.
31:42
Speaker 2: Two year olds aren't even sure if they should grab
31:44
Speaker 2: their pants or not.
31:44
Speaker 3: No, yeah, that's something they do.
31:46
Speaker 2: Yeah, so so, yeah, they grapped their pants on a
31:49
Speaker 2: couple of things. Time to change out the diaper patcham
31:53
Speaker 2: how not to you don't throw it away?
31:54
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly. So I'm thoroughly pleased with.
31:59
Speaker 2: The two years of I don't care about the blowouts
32:01
Speaker 2: because we are actually getting results.
32:04
Speaker 3: We're deciding this thing on the field for the first
32:06
Speaker 3: time ever, and I love it. All right.

Speaker 2: of different angles on this program. But an interesting one
33:49
Speaker 2: brought up by Greg Bell. He's really thinks Nick emon Worri,
33:54
Speaker 2: it's gonna be like the difference in this game. And
33:57
Speaker 2: when you think back, he got injured in that first game,
34:00
Speaker 2: and it was very interesting to see how he was
34:03
Speaker 2: being I mean, we just got a little taste of
34:06
Speaker 2: it because it happened so early in the game. But
34:09
Speaker 2: I mean you got an indication in those first few
34:12
Speaker 2: plays of the year that this is somebody that was
34:14
Speaker 2: going to be, you know, essential and having to defend
34:18
Speaker 2: an offense that had Christian McCaffrey in it and might
34:21
Speaker 2: be able to cover you know, a Kittle or a
34:24
Speaker 2: Tungis who ended up burning us, and yes I call
34:28
Speaker 2: him Tungis ended up burning us at the end of
34:31
Speaker 2: that game on a terrible defensive play by Reek Woolan.
34:36
Speaker 2: And that contest to use him in blitz packages because
34:39
Speaker 2: I keep hearing Mike McDonald's saving stuff for the.
34:41
Speaker 3: San Francisco forty nine ers.
34:43
Speaker 2: Maybe there's stuff he's gonna do with nick emon War
34:45
Speaker 2: that we haven't seen thus far. It's just been a
34:49
Speaker 2: runaway success rookie year for this young man. I can't
34:53
Speaker 2: wait to see what he becomes over the course of
34:56
Speaker 2: the next few years. But you better believe, Bucky that
34:58
Speaker 2: there's a major difference with this defense taking on the
35:02
Speaker 2: forty nine ers and all of their different interesting parts
35:05
Speaker 2: they have on the offensive side of the ball. I
35:07
Speaker 2: feel a lot better having him against the forty nine
35:10
Speaker 2: ers than not.
35:11
Speaker 3: Having him, Oh for sure.
35:13
Speaker 4: I mean, I think you know your number one thing
35:15
Speaker 4: is Christian McCaffrey, and figure out how you contain that.
35:19
Speaker 4: He's gonna get his to some degree, But how do
35:21
Speaker 4: you contain it. That's a full on, entire unit project,
35:25
Speaker 4: you know what I mean. You've got Ernest Jones, You're
35:27
Speaker 4: gonna have to be in that whole waiting for him.
35:30
Speaker 4: But the defensive lines and have show up guys, gonna
35:32
Speaker 4: have set edges. You're gonna have to have your other
35:35
Speaker 4: linebackers covering him from time to time out in the
35:37
Speaker 4: flat and when he comes out in patterns. So that's
35:40
Speaker 4: its own issue. But outside of that, it's George Kittle
35:44
Speaker 4: and Tundlas. You have to make sure that those guys
35:47
Speaker 4: don't end up hurting you. I think em and Worry
35:49
Speaker 4: is that little bit of an X factor. Now, it's
35:51
Speaker 4: not like you're just going to line him up and
35:53
Speaker 4: say you follow George Kittle everywhere. You're going to send
35:56
Speaker 4: him in to stop the run and get after the passer.
35:59
Speaker 4: But at times he's going to be a guy that
36:01
Speaker 4: most certainly creates what is supposed to be a mismatch.
36:04
Speaker 4: You're supposed to have tight ends that they want to
36:07
Speaker 4: be faster than linebackers and bigger or bigger than linebackers,
36:12
Speaker 4: and fast enough that they can they can create some distance.
36:15
Speaker 4: George Kittle's not really all that fast. He just is
36:18
Speaker 4: very creative. Well, one thing that you can do if
36:21
Speaker 4: a guy is like that is hey stick with him
36:25
Speaker 4: and then outmatch him physically. Just be more athletic than
36:28
Speaker 4: he is. And I think that uh Emon Worry is
36:31
Speaker 4: probably more athletic than just about everybody on the field.
36:33
Speaker 2: Yeah, and yet I think that it's the thing I'm
36:36
Speaker 2: more interested about is how he factors into defending McCaffrey.
36:42
Speaker 2: And even even with that, he's faster and more athletic
36:46
Speaker 2: than McCaffrey, and he's bigger.
36:51
Speaker 3: I don't know, it might not be stronger.
36:53
Speaker 4: Man.
36:53
Speaker 2: McCaffrey's pretty uh you know, loaded up there. Yeah, but uh,
36:58
Speaker 2: I'm curious to see if. I mean, the moment Mike
37:02
Speaker 2: McDonald was hired, there was this immediate thought about the
37:06
Speaker 2: chess matches between him and Sean McVay going forward for
37:10
Speaker 2: years to come. The moment we started thinking about the
37:15
Speaker 2: versatility of this freakish athlete and emon worry, when do
37:19
Speaker 2: you start applying it to the teams you have to face.
37:22
Speaker 2: I mean, very few teams have an answer for Christian McCaffrey.
37:25
Speaker 2: That's very clear in the National Football League. I'd like
37:29
Speaker 2: to find out Saturday night that we have maybe a
37:33
Speaker 2: recipe for shutting him down that nobody else has. And
37:37
Speaker 2: that's my sick and number three on him wherever he goes.
37:40
Speaker 4: Well, I mean, it can't hurt. I mean, I think
37:43
Speaker 4: it only made it like five plays into it before
37:45
Speaker 4: he got hurt. And he had that one play was
37:47
Speaker 4: a tackle in the backfield, right, And so yeah, I
37:49
Speaker 4: mean I think you're feeling a whole heck of a
37:51
Speaker 4: lot better. I do remember going into that game us
37:54
Speaker 4: talking about training camp, talking about Emon Worry, him being
37:57
Speaker 4: the Taka camp and all that stuff, and I thought
37:59
Speaker 4: to mysel, I wonder if a guy like Kyle Shanahan
38:03
Speaker 4: will recognize things that he sees in the first or
38:06
Speaker 4: second half, first or second quarter and then use his
38:10
Speaker 4: youth or exuberance against him to some agree, well, we
38:13
Speaker 4: still haven't seen that play out because it only lasted
38:15
Speaker 4: for five plays. I think that Eve and Worry might
38:18
Speaker 4: be better between the years than most people are in
38:21
Speaker 4: their first year. Hence the reason Mike McDonald, the defensive
38:25
Speaker 4: guru that he is, is like, how about you just
38:27
Speaker 4: play seven different positions? Well, that's a lot to think about.
38:31
Speaker 4: It's a lot to be able to absorb and know
38:33
Speaker 4: what your responsibility is. But apparently he's picking it up.
38:36
Speaker 4: It's going to be a very intriguing part of the game.
38:38
Speaker 4: Whether you can shut Christian McCaffrey down. I wouldn't go
38:41
Speaker 4: that far, but contain him and make them one dimensional
38:45
Speaker 4: with and with George Kittle and whoever else. Juwan Jennings
38:49
Speaker 4: is their leading receiver, not too terribly worried about that.
38:52
Speaker 4: With the defensive backs that we.
38:53
Speaker 2: Have all right coming up next, you mellon x's and
38:56
Speaker 2: oh's got to be applied to this game.
38:58
Speaker 3: We'll do it next.
