0:52
Speaker 2: A good Monday morning to you all. I hope you
0:55
Speaker 2: had a great weekend enjoining some football stress free. Yeah,
0:59
Speaker 2: a lot of really tight games. A lot of them
1:01
Speaker 2: could have gone either way with a bounce of a ball.
1:06
Speaker 2: But we didn't have to worry about a damn thing.
1:08
Speaker 2: Here in Seattle as we let it all play out.
1:11
Speaker 2: Ashley Ryan's here, former Mariner Bucky Jacobson. My name is
1:14
Speaker 2: Chuck Poweller. QB one is going to be joining us
1:16
Speaker 2: for a Monday morning quarterback session. Here in seconds, Hugh Millan,
1:19
Speaker 2: let me first tell you that we do know the
1:21
Speaker 2: Seahawks first round first opponent of the playoffs, not first round,
1:26
Speaker 2: but in the divisional round. We will be taking on
1:28
Speaker 2: the San Francisco forty nine Ers. Once again, we do
1:32
Speaker 2: know that it will be Saturday. We don't yet know
1:35
Speaker 2: what time the game will be played, so there's the backdrop.
1:39
Speaker 2: Let's welcome in our top analysts, our QB one. You mellon,
1:43
Speaker 2: Good morning, sir, good morning, great to be with you.
1:45
Speaker 2: What'd you think of all of that craziness this weekend?
1:48
Speaker 3: Well, I tell you my first thought, and we'll jump
1:51
Speaker 3: deep into the forty nine ers in that matchup, but
1:55
Speaker 3: my first thought is that the winners in all of
1:58
Speaker 3: this are US fans because we are in the midst
2:03
Speaker 3: and it's still not over. We still have tonight. We
2:07
Speaker 3: are in the midst of to my knowledge, it's unprecedent, unprecedented,
2:11
Speaker 3: five straight days of playoff football, counting obviously the college
2:17
Speaker 3: games eight games total. And to put that and look
2:21
Speaker 3: at how good starting off Thursday night we had Miami
2:24
Speaker 3: Ole missed thirty one to twenty seven down to the minute.
2:27
Speaker 3: Four lead changes over the weekend. Now there the football
2:32
Speaker 3: gots try. They decided to give us some mulligan on
2:35
Speaker 3: the second hole, not the first because the Indiana game
2:38
Speaker 3: on Friday night. But then go to the weekend in
2:41
Speaker 3: the NFL, I've got it down for sixteen lead changes,
2:45
Speaker 3: twelve lead changes in the fourth quarter, and we've still
2:49
Speaker 3: got playoff football tonight again, five straight days of legit
2:53
Speaker 3: playoff football. Now, to put that into context, if you
2:56
Speaker 3: go back to nineteen eighty one, that's the first year
2:59
Speaker 3: Joe Man Tanna won a Super Bowl. I was in college,
3:03
Speaker 3: but there was there was no college games. They after
3:08
Speaker 3: January first, they just woke up and voted, so you're
3:10
Speaker 3: done with college. And then the wildcard Sunday was just
3:15
Speaker 3: there was no Saturday game. It was just one per
3:18
Speaker 3: conference on Sunday, two wildcard games. And so now look
3:22
Speaker 3: at and by the way, the seventy two Dolphins, I
3:25
Speaker 3: was like the first real season that I remember thoroughly.
3:28
Speaker 3: No caught Wildcard weekend, that they played the super Bowl
3:31
Speaker 3: on January fourteenth, which is two days from now, right,
3:35
Speaker 3: there are tomorrow whatever, So that that's my overwhelming thought
3:40
Speaker 3: is we are really if you like football playoff content,
3:44
Speaker 3: we are. We've got a hell of a buffet and
3:46
Speaker 3: we are just in gorging ourselves.
3:49
Speaker 2: And it's fun. Bucky didn't have that fun Friday. He
3:52
Speaker 2: wasn't enjoying now Mulligan.
3:56
Speaker 3: Yeah, again, they're playing Tuesday.
4:00
Speaker 4: I don't know if I want to watch that. We're
4:02
Speaker 4: turning five days into six.
4:03
Speaker 3: I would, you know, by the way, just take your
4:06
Speaker 3: ball and go home with Dante Moore and that that
4:10
Speaker 3: glazed overlook of non competitiveness, he did that in Eugene
4:14
Speaker 3: and and I thought maybe it was an aberration. I
4:16
Speaker 3: know he's a talented guy. But if I'm an Oregon
4:18
Speaker 3: fan and where if I'm considered you know, the Raiders
4:20
Speaker 3: or or well if I'm the Raiders, it's just like
4:23
Speaker 3: I'm just I'm sprinting to the the the the tape
4:29
Speaker 3: whatever it is, and it's for Fernanda Mendoza. We'll talk
4:31
Speaker 3: about that on another day. But yeah, I don't know
4:35
Speaker 3: about this Dante Moore any.
4:36
Speaker 5: Rumors that he entered the transfer portal during the national
4:40
Speaker 5: anthem to go to Indiana.
4:42
Speaker 1: Is that right?
4:43
Speaker 4: Yeah, well yeah, I la.
4:47
Speaker 2: Yeah, more than rumors. Dante Moore's obviously Dan Lanning thinks
4:51
Speaker 2: he's going to the pros.
4:52
Speaker 4: He's going to enter the draft.
4:54
Speaker 2: Otherwise you don't sign Dylan Rayola like they did today
4:57
Speaker 2: in the transfer portal, the Nebraska quarterback who thinks he's
5:00
Speaker 2: Patrick mahomes it's really creepy. Yeah, how much he thinks
5:04
Speaker 2: he's Patrick mahomes.
5:05
Speaker 4: At it is bizarre?
5:06
Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, But well, think of think of how recruiting
5:10
Speaker 3: has changed. I mean since you know, Justin Herbert was
5:13
Speaker 3: a homegrown guy from I believe Sheldon High School somewhere
5:17
Speaker 3: in Eugene, and uh, and then since then they've had
5:21
Speaker 3: the starters. Now, Tyler Shuck was a recruited guy, but
5:25
Speaker 3: they had he got beat out by Anthony Brown, so
5:28
Speaker 3: so Shuck transferred. Then they've had They've had Bo Nicks,
5:33
Speaker 3: they've had Dylan Gabriel, they've had and and then now uh,
5:38
Speaker 3: and then they had Dante Moore. All transfers. Like it's
5:42
Speaker 3: as if they don't even need to sign a quarterback
5:45
Speaker 3: out of high school in the recruiting class.
5:48
Speaker 4: And now Dylan Ryola.
5:49
Speaker 3: They just they're just saying, hey, whoever is the best
5:53
Speaker 3: available guy with experience, come on, come on down. You
5:57
Speaker 3: know kind of Miami's doing that. Look at Miami, they've
5:59
Speaker 3: had Ward and now Carson Beck. You know, there's there's
6:03
Speaker 3: schools that that I don't even know why a high
6:07
Speaker 3: school kid would look at those schools, because the coaches
6:09
Speaker 3: are looking and say, well, why would we want to
6:11
Speaker 3: play you? You don't have any experience? Well you're not,
6:14
Speaker 3: you know, let me get experience. Yeah, well you know
6:17
Speaker 3: that's that's not my problem. Let me go get this
6:19
Speaker 3: veteran at any rate. Things have really changed, But yeah
6:23
Speaker 3: they have. But as again to my point, I think
6:27
Speaker 3: let's really enjoy what we have just seen over these
6:32
Speaker 3: last few days and hopefully we get another thriller tonight.
6:35
Speaker 2: Yeah, and just some physical football. I mean they say
6:38
Speaker 2: the most physical football for the playoffs, no question about it.
6:43
Speaker 2: Monday morning quarterback session gets underway here with Hugh Mellen.
6:47
Speaker 2: Your reaction to now knowing that it's going to be
6:50
Speaker 2: the forty nine ers on Saturday, the Seahawks get the
6:53
Speaker 2: bye week and they have to face the team that
6:56
Speaker 2: they last played.
6:58
Speaker 3: Well, my thought is these four nine ers, they're they're
7:01
Speaker 3: like the antagonists in a horror movie. I mean, they're
7:04
Speaker 3: wearing hockey masks, they're carrying chainsaws. You cannot kill these guys.
7:08
Speaker 3: That doesn't matter who you hurt, how many Hall of
7:10
Speaker 3: Famers you knock out with season ending injuries. They they
7:14
Speaker 3: are just extremely resilient. I I look, on paper, you
7:19
Speaker 3: could certainly craft a credible argument Seattle is going to
7:22
Speaker 3: have an overwhelming dominant win. I mean, there's a lot
7:27
Speaker 3: of situations that are right for that, but there's just
7:29
Speaker 3: still still something that tells me this is going to
7:31
Speaker 3: be a deep into the fourth quarter type of game.
7:33
Speaker 4: And and you know, I'll just I'll just say that.
7:37
Speaker 4: You know, here, you've.
7:39
Speaker 3: Got in Mike McDonald, the guy that was hired to
7:41
Speaker 3: be the brilliant defensive counterpart to the brilliance of Sean
7:47
Speaker 3: McVay and Kyle Shanahan in this division. Go back to
7:50
Speaker 3: the Rams down at the Sofi, that loss with the
7:54
Speaker 3: with the Sam Donald Foreig interceptions. Yet you almost win
7:57
Speaker 3: that game by the long field goal. You say, well,
8:01
Speaker 3: Mike McDonald has Sean mcvay's number, and you had gone
8:05
Speaker 3: back to the year before. I won't do that. But
8:07
Speaker 3: then in that game you had Matthew Stafford only one
8:12
Speaker 3: hundred and thirty yards. The Rams and Matthew Stafford were
8:16
Speaker 3: kept the lowest total. And yet the adjustments that McVeigh made,
8:20
Speaker 3: they came in to Lumenfield and dropped the five ady
8:23
Speaker 3: burger on you. So San Francisco, Yes, down there in
8:27
Speaker 3: San Francisco, Seattle, the forty nine ers, they had three points.
8:36
Speaker 4: We all know this, but.
8:37
Speaker 3: Let's just review three points, one hundred and seventy three
8:39
Speaker 3: yards and nine first downs in that game, the last game.
8:43
Speaker 3: Those were all lows in the Kyle Shanahan era. The
8:47
Speaker 3: Kyle Shanahan era has started in twenty seventeen. In twenty nineteen,
8:51
Speaker 3: they went thirteen to three, they went to the Super Bowl.
8:53
Speaker 3: Since twenty nineteen, the forty nine Ers are the winning
8:56
Speaker 3: this team in the NFC. That's what Seattle's Dee did,
9:00
Speaker 3: the all time low for Kyle Shanahan as a head
9:05
Speaker 3: coach in this league. And yet, you know, I expect
9:10
Speaker 3: some kind of counterpart. I sure as hell hope it
9:12
Speaker 3: isn't a five eighty burger. To the tune of way
9:14
Speaker 3: the way McVeigh adjusted. He is, but I expect some
9:18
Speaker 3: adjustments and I expect counter adjustments to Mike McVeigh. It
9:21
Speaker 3: is a chess match of the highest order of brilliant coaches.
9:26
Speaker 5: I'm with you, and yet, you know, I mean, I
9:28
Speaker 5: don't know for sure what every team or coaches confidence
9:32
Speaker 5: level is, but you would have to feel, coming off
9:33
Speaker 5: of the dominant win that you had against them in
9:36
Speaker 5: week eighteen, that you're feeling good about it. That said,
9:40
Speaker 5: as dominant as that game was, it was still thirteen
9:42
Speaker 5: to three, It still was close. It still felt like
9:44
Speaker 5: you were a couple plays from it maybe not going
9:47
Speaker 5: your way. And so I mean talking about the injuries,
9:51
Speaker 5: the you know, they're decimated by injuries, and that just
9:53
Speaker 5: got worse with George Kittleby and out. I mean, how
9:56
Speaker 5: big of a loss is that for them?
9:58
Speaker 3: I It's really really big. And now I've been watching
10:03
Speaker 3: the coaches tape. It was a hell of a drive
10:06
Speaker 3: by Brock Purdy going down when they were down a
10:13
Speaker 3: couple of points, and with eight minutes to go, they
10:15
Speaker 3: go down and get the touchdown. But prior to that
10:17
Speaker 3: they had had an interception, perty had thrown an interception
10:23
Speaker 3: was manna man coverage and he was throwing a deep over.
10:27
Speaker 3: Jake Tongus was aligned on the right side. He was
10:30
Speaker 3: running a crossing route deep across the field. Would have
10:34
Speaker 3: had it been completed, it would have been about seventeen
10:36
Speaker 3: eighteen air yards. And in that was man to man
10:41
Speaker 3: and the Eagles played Quinnon Mitchell number twenty seven. Did
10:45
Speaker 3: I said, get his first name right, Mitchell. I know,
10:47
Speaker 3: it's just qu Mitchell, right, And he had had his
10:50
Speaker 3: second interception in that that was man. That's a big
10:53
Speaker 3: time advantage for the Eagles. And I'll underscore it this way.
10:57
Speaker 3: George Kittle ran a four or five two at the combine.
11:02
Speaker 3: Jake Tongis, his replacement, ran a four to seven seven.
11:08
Speaker 3: Through the years, I've realized that a tenth of a
11:10
Speaker 3: second is about a full yard, like when they do
11:13
Speaker 3: those overlaps at the NFL Combine, you know, on the
11:16
Speaker 3: forty so so you're talking about if they ran a
11:19
Speaker 3: foot race forty yard, they Kittle would beat him by
11:23
Speaker 3: two and a half yards. I mean, think of that.
11:25
Speaker 3: I mean, you know that's eight and a half feet,
11:28
Speaker 3: So that is a big time speed advantage. And on
11:32
Speaker 3: that play Tongas, that's the type of route where you're
11:35
Speaker 3: running full speed and there was just no there's no
11:39
Speaker 3: separation in that. And you saw later they held the
11:42
Speaker 3: touchdown that brock Purdy got to that winning touchdown pass
11:47
Speaker 3: he got to his fifth option in the route, and
11:51
Speaker 3: one of them that he rejected was Tongus running one
11:54
Speaker 3: and over route and you can just see he just
11:57
Speaker 3: is not He is not as fast on ten. So
12:00
Speaker 3: this is showing up on balls that are thrown to Tongus.
12:04
Speaker 3: These are throws showing up on throws that are not
12:07
Speaker 3: thrown to Tongus. George Kittle is, you know, probably borderline
12:12
Speaker 3: on the way to a Hall of fame. If you
12:14
Speaker 3: told me that he'll land in the Hall of Fame,
12:16
Speaker 3: that wouldn't surprise me a bit. If you told me
12:18
Speaker 3: he didn't, that wouldn't surprise me a bit. I think
12:20
Speaker 3: he's a borderline hall of Fame guy, but he's been
12:23
Speaker 3: a great tight end for a long time, and that
12:25
Speaker 3: speed difference shows up on tape.
12:28
Speaker 2: Here melanis with us Monday Morning Quarterback brought to you
12:31
Speaker 2: by Muckle Shoot Bingo, North Creek Roofing, Washington Center for
12:34
Speaker 2: Sleep End Core Construction. Seahawks don't play this weekend, But
12:38
Speaker 2: I got to sit back and watch it all unfold.
12:40
Speaker 2: Get you entertained the thoughts of having to face the Packers.
12:44
Speaker 2: Look like you're gonna have to face them, He entertained
12:46
Speaker 2: the thought of having to face the Rams, But it
12:48
Speaker 2: lands on the San Francisco forty nine Ers, who will
12:51
Speaker 2: be in town Saturday for this divisional round against the Hawks.
12:55
Speaker 2: Brock Party had been on a roll until he met
12:58
Speaker 2: Mike McDonald's defense this past week and then yesterday, certainly
13:03
Speaker 2: much better against Philadelphia, and yet still you know, made
13:07
Speaker 2: some of those mistakes that Philadelphia could have capitalized on.
13:13
Speaker 2: How do you see brock Party and the way he's
13:15
Speaker 2: playing right now entering this game on Saturday.
13:18
Speaker 4: Yeah, well I'll touch.
13:19
Speaker 3: I already touched on that first interception, the second interception.
13:22
Speaker 3: This just speaks to the depleted nature of the forty
13:27
Speaker 3: nine ers roster. Ricky piersall out with ankle and knee injuries.
13:32
Speaker 3: That first interception, he threw it to sky Moore. I
13:36
Speaker 3: had to look up this dude. Sky Moore as started
13:38
Speaker 3: with the Chief. Yeah, he started. He's been four years
13:41
Speaker 3: in the league. He's only has eleven starts in four years.
13:45
Speaker 3: None over the last two years, hasn't started a game
13:48
Speaker 3: since twenty twenty three. And he was running what's called
13:51
Speaker 3: a corner stop. I was on a team that we
13:54
Speaker 3: called it that route a bronco, which is a word
13:57
Speaker 3: conjunction break on corner. And so he just absolutely telegraphed
14:03
Speaker 3: there was a three D three hunderd zone. But Quinya
14:05
Speaker 3: and Mitchell in that capacity, it's his zone. But but
14:09
Speaker 3: he takes on the characteristics of man and man he
14:12
Speaker 3: just read the route is poor porty soldier. You're going
14:15
Speaker 3: up the field. Then you're breaking like you're running a
14:17
Speaker 3: corner route. But the way he was kind of chopping
14:20
Speaker 3: his feet, his shoulders were back where his head was,
14:23
Speaker 3: it was very telegraphy, Uh to the corner. And he
14:26
Speaker 3: jumped that route to get an interception. And so I
14:29
Speaker 3: know Kyle Shanahan is going, if we have somebody other
14:32
Speaker 3: than sky Moore, we got a chance on that play.
14:35
Speaker 3: But brock Purdy, when I say, okay, playword association or
14:41
Speaker 3: thought association with quarterbacks. If you say to me, brock Purdy,
14:44
Speaker 3: what what makes brock Purty good? The very best thing,
14:46
Speaker 3: in my opinion about brock Purdy is that he has
14:52
Speaker 3: this ability, fantastic anticipation, very poor arm strength pro probably
15:00
Speaker 3: one of the weakest arms of all starting quarterbacks in
15:03
Speaker 3: the National Football League. But next level anticipation and particularly
15:08
Speaker 3: on intermediate routes that's neither shorten nor deep. Obviously intermediate
15:13
Speaker 3: routes in the middle of the field, he throws these
15:15
Speaker 3: deep ends, these crossing routes.
15:17
Speaker 4: What have you?
15:18
Speaker 3: So I said, let's there must be a way to
15:22
Speaker 3: I just described it is. Are there some numbers that
15:25
Speaker 3: I can do to filter that?
15:26
Speaker 1: So?
15:26
Speaker 3: Yeah, So I go to the NFL staff portal. I
15:29
Speaker 3: filter between the numbers. So these are all balls that
15:32
Speaker 3: are caught between the numbers, and I say, Okay, the
15:34
Speaker 3: intermediate that I'm thinking of is we're gonna go twelve
15:37
Speaker 3: yards at least that's short intermediate. I thought of going
15:41
Speaker 3: like twenty yards, but I know there's some deep overs
15:43
Speaker 3: that might get that, so I'll go twelve to twenty
15:45
Speaker 3: five yards. Should be more like twelve to twenty, but
15:48
Speaker 3: I extended it to twelve to twenty five and over
15:53
Speaker 3: the last this year Rock Purty. He is second only
15:57
Speaker 3: to Jared Goff. By the way, Jared Goff is the
15:59
Speaker 3: master of all that, particularly when you go under center.
16:01
Speaker 3: But brock perty is number two, whether you say number
16:03
Speaker 3: twenty twenty five, whether you want to say over the
16:06
Speaker 3: last two years, whether you want to say over the
16:08
Speaker 3: last three years, brock Perty is always number two to
16:10
Speaker 3: Jerry Goff. So that's a big part of his game.
16:14
Speaker 3: In the three weeks leading up to the last Seahawk game,
16:17
Speaker 3: brock Purty in that. Remember, now, between the numbers air
16:22
Speaker 3: yards twelve to twenty five, he had ninety five ninety nine,
16:26
Speaker 3: one hundred and thirty nine yards in the week going
16:28
Speaker 3: up to Seattle. That's that's one hundred and eleven yards
16:33
Speaker 3: in those descriptions. Are you following me against Seattle zero
16:40
Speaker 3: zero yards? And yet he cranked it back up yesterday
16:44
Speaker 3: to one hundred and twenty two. So that portion that
16:48
Speaker 3: and so who's doing that. You've got Nick Ammunori in there.
16:51
Speaker 3: Ernest Jones has five interceptions, led the team. That's one
16:55
Speaker 3: of the reason why he's the second team All Pro.
16:58
Speaker 3: You know, like, now, I didn't think Jones played well
17:01
Speaker 3: in coverage against the Rams, but but.
17:05
Speaker 4: I you know, I think he rebounded.
17:07
Speaker 3: There's you know, Matthew Stafford has a way of doing
17:10
Speaker 3: these these No look, you know crossing routes and deep
17:13
Speaker 3: ends that nobody else on planet Earth does not even
17:16
Speaker 3: mahomes to the degree that that that Stafford does. We'll
17:19
Speaker 3: we'll talk about Stafford later, but that's that's been one
17:22
Speaker 3: of the many components of of brock Perdies game. Seattle
17:27
Speaker 3: completely shut it down against zero yards uh in those filters,
17:31
Speaker 3: and I think that's an important part of this game.
17:34
Speaker 4: Coming up.
17:35
Speaker 2: Hu Millan is with us. We are Monday Morning Quarterback,
17:38
Speaker 2: and we know the opponent, the San Francisco forty nine ers.
17:41
Speaker 2: We know ourselves, and we're going to talk a little
17:44
Speaker 2: more about this matchup. On the other side, we'll also
17:47
Speaker 2: react to some of the other results from this weekend
17:50
Speaker 2: in the National Football League and more transfer portal news.
17:54
Speaker 2: Sam Levitt is leaving Arizona State. He is going to
17:58
Speaker 2: LSU to take Mon Williams job. I guess they're at LSU,
18:03
Speaker 2: and so that also was made official here today. So
18:08
Speaker 2: more with Hugh Millon coming up. On the other side,
18:11
Speaker 2: it is Monday Morning Quarterback, Chucking Bucks Sports Radio ninety
18:14
Speaker 2: three point three KJRFM.
18:15
Speaker 4: That's right. I like it.
18:17
Speaker 2: I like it, Chuck Buck and Ashley whatever you we
18:19
Speaker 2: are Monday Morning quarterbacking. Yeah, the Seahawks didn't play this weekend,
18:23
Speaker 2: but my goodness, we now know the opponent for the
18:25
Speaker 2: Divisional round. It will be the San Francisco forty nine Ers.
18:29
Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure you're all familiar with them. Yes, the
18:32
Speaker 2: last time these two teams faced, the Seahawks mack them
18:35
Speaker 2: down thirteen to three. But now it matters. This is
18:38
Speaker 2: the third game, third matchup of the year.
18:40
Speaker 4: They split the.
18:41
Speaker 2: First two, and so whoever wins the series advances on
18:45
Speaker 2: obviously in the NFL playoffs, And so we're going full
18:49
Speaker 2: scale Monday Morning quarterback this morning. Mike Holmgren is going
18:52
Speaker 2: to join us at nine o'clock. Hugh Millon is with
18:55
Speaker 2: us right now, and Hugh, I mean, I think when
18:57
Speaker 2: you think of the forty nine Ers, the first player
19:00
Speaker 2: you probably think of as Christian McCaffrey, and he's still
19:03
Speaker 2: one heck of a weapon, but they've not run the
19:06
Speaker 2: ball effectively in San Francisco this year, even yesterday with
19:09
Speaker 2: a win over the Eagles. You know, three point two
19:12
Speaker 2: yards per carrey from McCaffrey. He's become more of a
19:15
Speaker 2: weapon in the passing game than he is in the
19:18
Speaker 2: running game these days, you marry that with how soundly
19:23
Speaker 2: the Seahawks have stopped the run this year. I mean,
19:26
Speaker 2: that's got to be one area where we feel good
19:29
Speaker 2: in this matchup on Saturday.
19:30
Speaker 3: Yeah, one hundred percent that the Seahawks if you consider
19:35
Speaker 3: all the phases, the five phases that I've just described,
19:39
Speaker 3: I think run defense and special teams have been their
19:42
Speaker 3: most consistent phase.
19:44
Speaker 4: And Seattle's number one in.
19:46
Speaker 3: The NFL and San Francisco is thirtieth three point eight
19:51
Speaker 3: yards per attempt. And for McCaffrey, you know, he had
19:54
Speaker 3: six catches against the Seahawks, but just fifteen yards after
19:59
Speaker 3: the catch, and that was pivotal. He's a guy that
20:04
Speaker 3: that for his career has averaged seven point seven yards
20:08
Speaker 3: after the cats. But I think a guy that really
20:11
Speaker 3: deserves a lot of accolades. I know we've been talking
20:14
Speaker 3: a lot about him Byron Murphy last year. I talked
20:18
Speaker 3: more about it because it was so unusual, But that
20:21
Speaker 3: idea that he goes down to one knee when he's
20:23
Speaker 3: getting double team Greg has been right to note that
20:27
Speaker 3: as well. It's been an important part of his game.
20:30
Speaker 3: And yet here's another facet because he's very key coming
20:36
Speaker 3: out of Texas, he only played four hundred and thirty
20:39
Speaker 3: seven snaps out of nine on one he's he had
20:42
Speaker 3: forty eight and a half percent of the snaps for Texas.
20:46
Speaker 3: I remember, even before he was drafted by Seattle, that
20:50
Speaker 3: was a thing, what's his stamina? And we talked about
20:53
Speaker 3: that after he drafted. Well, let's take a peek at
20:55
Speaker 3: his Stanama then his rookie year four and fifty four
20:59
Speaker 3: and fifty eight snaps, and that was forty three percent
21:04
Speaker 3: this year and I had to triple check it. But
21:06
Speaker 3: you know that up to this date, the Seahawks defense
21:08
Speaker 3: had the exact same number of snaps last season as
21:12
Speaker 3: this season as one thousand and sixty five exact same
21:16
Speaker 3: number at any rate, the defensively Byron Murphy, he's up
21:22
Speaker 3: to seventy three and a half percent of this now,
21:25
Speaker 3: he's up to seven hundred and eighty three snaps. So
21:27
Speaker 3: at any days, kudus to him that he's taken on
21:30
Speaker 3: that workload.
21:32
Speaker 5: Yeah, obviously, I mean he's doing his part. The whole
21:34
Speaker 5: D line, just front, the whole defense in general is
21:37
Speaker 5: something that's amazing. But I mean, is it something that's
21:41
Speaker 5: it's obviously possible. Is it probable that this Seahawks defense
21:45
Speaker 5: can can have the same type of performance because it
21:48
Speaker 5: was it was kind of immaculate. I mean it was
21:51
Speaker 5: it was not just that they were stifling. It wasn't
21:53
Speaker 5: just that they were making everything uncomfortable. Their tackling was
21:56
Speaker 5: near perfect. Like you just kind of mentioned that Christian
21:59
Speaker 5: McCaffery cut six balls but had fifteen yards after the catch.
22:02
Speaker 5: I mean, if you can get him down six feet
22:04
Speaker 5: after he catches the ball every single time, yep, where
22:07
Speaker 5: he can't break anything, is that is that something that
22:10
Speaker 5: you see that's repeatable to have that good of a performance,
22:13
Speaker 5: Because to me, my thought would be like with a
22:16
Speaker 5: lot of guys of Christian McCaffrey's caliber, like you don't
22:19
Speaker 5: stop them, You just hope to contain him, even though
22:21
Speaker 5: the last time they faced him they basically stopped him.
22:24
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think certainly Mike McDonald feels like he can.
22:28
Speaker 3: I think stopping the run is where it starts. And
22:31
Speaker 3: in the last game, forty nine or running backs there
22:35
Speaker 3: was ten carries and nine of them that they had
22:41
Speaker 3: a too high shell, meaning they were saying to the
22:44
Speaker 3: forty nine ers, we're playing pass defense. We can stop
22:47
Speaker 3: the run with just seven. And in situations where they
22:54
Speaker 3: the forty nine ers either were in twenty one personnel
22:58
Speaker 3: that's two running back, one tight end, or twenty two personnel,
23:02
Speaker 3: they tried to load up and go twenty two personnel,
23:05
Speaker 3: and Seattle stayed in nickel. They didn't play a single
23:08
Speaker 3: Seattle did not play a single down a base defense
23:13
Speaker 3: against the forty nine ers. No matter how heavy the
23:16
Speaker 3: forty nine ers tried to play, they Seattle just kept
23:19
Speaker 3: playing with nickel because they believe so much in nick
23:22
Speaker 3: Emm and worry.
23:23
Speaker 4: And now there.
23:25
Speaker 3: Was times when they played what's called eleven personnel, one
23:27
Speaker 3: running back, one tight end, and three receivers. Seattle, they
23:32
Speaker 3: they went about sixty percent in dime and forty percent
23:37
Speaker 3: in nickel. But the point is Seattle played from a
23:40
Speaker 3: personnel standpoint, very light, and also from a structure standpoint,
23:46
Speaker 3: they went very light. So you were you were giving,
23:49
Speaker 3: you were already if you just go buy the what
23:53
Speaker 3: should be the template or the general axioms of football,
23:57
Speaker 3: Seattle was telling in San Francisco, go ahead, all these
24:04
Speaker 3: indicators should be that you can run the football. And
24:06
Speaker 3: yet with seven guys with a light personnel, nick Emm
24:10
Speaker 3: and Worry. They were able to stop the Not only
24:14
Speaker 3: were they able to stop the run, those running backs
24:18
Speaker 3: had eight plays thirty thirty two yards. No, no, no, yeah,
24:25
Speaker 3: start Sorry, I said ten plays. I was looking at
24:29
Speaker 3: another stat. Ten runs to running backs thirty two yards,
24:33
Speaker 3: and in that there wasn't a single safety or corner
24:40
Speaker 3: that made a tackle. Now, Nick amm and Worry, there's
24:43
Speaker 3: an asterisk of that in that particular stat. I'm counting
24:48
Speaker 3: Nick mm and Worry as a sam linebacker because that's
24:51
Speaker 3: how he's aligned. He's a nickel and he just plays
24:53
Speaker 3: like an outside linebacker.
24:54
Speaker 4: Point. I don't know.
24:56
Speaker 3: I don't know if I'm conveying this Seattle. They basically
25:01
Speaker 3: said to San Francisco, we know that that's your your brand,
25:05
Speaker 3: your mo is. You want, you want to get heavy.
25:08
Speaker 3: You got Kyle Yschef. Kyle Yschef is ten time pro bowler.
25:12
Speaker 3: There's a damn good chance he's going to the Hall
25:14
Speaker 3: of Fame. Uh as a full back. That's who you are.
25:18
Speaker 3: And yet we're not gonna try and stack and play
25:21
Speaker 3: hardball with our alignment nor our personnel. We can, we can,
25:25
Speaker 3: we can show you a softball look, and yet will
25:28
Speaker 3: still stop you. I hope that point's clear, because that's
25:31
Speaker 3: the foundation of where everything starts, because then they can
25:34
Speaker 3: play coverage and they can hold rock purity to what
25:38
Speaker 3: you have one hundred and twenty seven yards. So is
25:41
Speaker 3: that repeatable? I would say as a general rule, I
25:47
Speaker 3: think so because of how how well they dominated. Now,
25:50
Speaker 3: I don't think they're gonna have those type of numbers. Uh, no, way,
25:54
Speaker 3: I don't think that's that sanfranch is gonna have three points,
25:56
Speaker 3: one hundred and seventy three yards and nine first downs. Again, Uh,
26:00
Speaker 3: all of those are career lows for Mike excuse me,
26:03
Speaker 3: Kyle Shanahan, Mike's sun as a head coach in this league.
26:08
Speaker 3: So uh yeah, maybe I'm kind of straddling the fence
26:12
Speaker 3: on that. I think as a general yes, but not
26:15
Speaker 3: to that extent. How about that, I think those stats
26:18
Speaker 3: are hilarious. Yeahan struggling that much in his last game
26:25
Speaker 3: just really great material right there.
26:28
Speaker 4: Hugh Millan is with us.
26:29
Speaker 2: I do want to get your thoughts, like anything that
26:32
Speaker 2: over everything else that might have stood out to you
26:35
Speaker 2: about this weekend, But I also want to ask you
26:37
Speaker 2: about the thing that stood out to me about this
26:40
Speaker 2: weekend in the NFL, how physical everything was. That's the
26:43
Speaker 2: biggest beating I've seen Drake may take. That's the biggest beating.
26:46
Speaker 2: I've seen Trevor Lawrence take. That's the biggest beating I've
26:49
Speaker 2: seen Josh Allen take. And I've seen Justin Herbert take
26:52
Speaker 2: a beating every week since he came into the league,
26:55
Speaker 2: and I'm not sure I want to see many more
26:57
Speaker 2: of that because it is just It's to the level
27:00
Speaker 2: now where I don't even enjoy watching Justin Herbert play
27:03
Speaker 2: football anymore because he takes such a beating.
27:06
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, I agree.
27:08
Speaker 3: I don't know him well, but my son played at
27:12
Speaker 3: Oregon and he was roommates with Patrick, Justin's younger brother,
27:15
Speaker 3: so he go over to.
27:19
Speaker 4: On Monday night football.
27:20
Speaker 3: They'd all be in the hot tub watching money and football,
27:23
Speaker 3: and my son was at Thanksgiving dinner for a couple
27:26
Speaker 3: of times.
27:26
Speaker 4: So I've got to know Justin. He took my kid
27:28
Speaker 4: under his wing. I don't know him.
27:30
Speaker 3: Well, but he's one of the finest human beings I've
27:33
Speaker 3: ever known. This guy was an academic heisman molecular biology.
27:36
Speaker 3: All the dudes on the team were like.
27:38
Speaker 4: Bro, what are you studying? Like that you're going to
27:40
Speaker 4: the league.
27:41
Speaker 3: Right, But he just had there's a certain nature to him,
27:45
Speaker 3: very humble, almost too quiet, almost too humble, right to
27:49
Speaker 3: be a professional quarterback. But yeah, it's sad to see
27:52
Speaker 3: him take that beating. And I think chuck for quarterbacks
27:57
Speaker 3: that you're seeing these beatings because there's so many simulated
28:00
Speaker 3: pressures they're you know, it's not just four defensive linemen
28:04
Speaker 3: where everybody knows who who you're rushing. You might get
28:07
Speaker 3: a stunt. They're they're bringing guys from everywhere, but they're
28:10
Speaker 3: dropping guys off and so in the old day there
28:12
Speaker 3: was a period where where you bring everybody, it was
28:15
Speaker 3: risky because you're playing man but man behind it, often
28:18
Speaker 3: without a free safety. Now they're bringing they're bringing guys
28:22
Speaker 3: from everywhere, dropping defensive linemen into every and yet they're
28:25
Speaker 3: playing zones behind it. Generally a three D three under,
28:28
Speaker 3: but Mike McDonald has mastered the two deep four hunder.
28:31
Speaker 3: People are copying that. There's what's called a two catch
28:36
Speaker 3: or palms or trigger with the corners where they say, hey,
28:38
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go deep if everybody's deep, but if the
28:40
Speaker 3: slot guy or or somebody comes in the flat, then
28:43
Speaker 3: I'm gonna trigger into the flat. There's some complexity to
28:46
Speaker 3: these zone pressures and offensive line. They're just having a
28:51
Speaker 3: hard time sorting it out. But quickly you asked me
28:55
Speaker 3: one impression from the game. How about Josh Allen When
28:59
Speaker 3: the Bills we're trailing. He was fourteen of sixteen with
29:04
Speaker 3: one hundred and thirty three passer rating and three total touchdowns.
29:08
Speaker 3: That final drive he was five for five. He was
29:12
Speaker 3: responsible for sixty five of the sixty six yards. Like
29:16
Speaker 3: Josh Allen is, we're watching one of the greatest football
29:20
Speaker 3: players who has ever played the game. In my opinion,
29:24
Speaker 3: I think it's staggering how talented he is. I'm a
29:28
Speaker 3: huge John Elway fan, played behind him, but I think
29:31
Speaker 3: he's better than John Elway. I think that he I mean,
29:35
Speaker 3: look at he still is the author of the greatest
29:38
Speaker 3: game by a quarterback I have ever seen in a
29:41
Speaker 3: loss in a playoff game that Kansas City, and that
29:43
Speaker 3: includes Tom Brady throwing for five hundred and I believe
29:47
Speaker 3: five hundred and five in the Super Bowl when they lost.
29:49
Speaker 4: To the Eagles.
29:51
Speaker 3: I mean, I was in the AFC's with the the
29:54
Speaker 3: both the Patriots and the and the Dolphins So I
29:58
Speaker 3: did a lot of tapes to of Jim Kelly, and
30:02
Speaker 3: I think for the most part he deserving Hall of Famer.
30:05
Speaker 3: I know him a little bit. I'm like, I'm tough
30:07
Speaker 3: as hell, tough as hell Jim Kelly. So he's in
30:10
Speaker 3: the Hall of Fame, probably, you know, maybe a fringe
30:12
Speaker 3: Hall of Famer whatever. I think Josh Allen's three times
30:17
Speaker 3: the quarterback Jim Kelly is like, it's not even close.
30:20
Speaker 3: If I'm a Buffalo fan, I would love Jim Kelly.
30:24
Speaker 3: He's tough as hell. We all know some of the
30:27
Speaker 3: story about his the resiliency he's had to have in
30:31
Speaker 3: his personal life. So he's a hero. He's an absolute hero.
30:34
Speaker 3: But as a quarterback, he cannot get in the galaxy
30:37
Speaker 3: of Josh Allen. In my opinion, it's you know, we're
30:41
Speaker 3: watching one of the greatest football players of all time
30:44
Speaker 3: in Josh Allen.
30:45
Speaker 4: That's my take.
30:45
Speaker 2: All right, that's a hot take right there.
30:48
Speaker 4: That's a hot take. I don't think it's actually I
30:49
Speaker 4: don't really think it's a hot take. I mean, that's
30:53
Speaker 4: a hot take. It's a good take.
30:55
Speaker 2: I'm not saying I'm not saying you did anything wrong.
30:57
Speaker 2: That's a strong, bold statement right there.
31:01
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I don't know. I think it's defensible. I
31:04
Speaker 3: think there's that guy, you know, think of John Elway.
31:09
Speaker 3: You know, we just had melk kiper. I remember just
31:12
Speaker 3: this last draft, he was talking about whoever's going to
31:14
Speaker 3: be number one. It's just well, he's not my number
31:16
Speaker 3: one of all time. My number one of all time
31:19
Speaker 3: will always be John Elway. He didn't say, is John
31:22
Speaker 3: Elway and might be replaced, He said, will always be
31:25
Speaker 3: like as if nobody will ever touch John Elway and
31:29
Speaker 3: so and yet Elway with all of his skills. He
31:32
Speaker 3: looks at Josh Allen, who's two inches taller in him,
31:35
Speaker 3: twenty five pounds, heavier, faster and throws just as hard.
31:38
Speaker 4: And he goes, damn, dude, you got some skills.
31:42
Speaker 2: All right, More with Hugh, we're gonna talk, I mean,
31:45
Speaker 2: crazy week last week for us here on the college
31:47
Speaker 2: football scene, and now that the dust has kind of settled,
31:52
Speaker 2: I want to get Hugh's take on it. Next Sports
31:54
Speaker 2: Radio ninety three point three kh A r FM. Wow,
32:03
Speaker 2: all right, Monday Morning Quarterback. We got Mike homer In
32:05
Speaker 2: joining the conversation coming up here at the top of
32:08
Speaker 2: the hour.
32:08
Speaker 4: Nine o'clock.
32:09
Speaker 2: It's brought to you by Muckle Shute Bingo in Auburn,
32:12
Speaker 2: your home from Machine Goo also North Creek Roofing, Washington
32:16
Speaker 2: Center for Sleep and Core Construction.
32:19
Speaker 4: You Millan ur QB one with us.
32:21
Speaker 2: We've already talked about the Seahawks matchup with the forty
32:23
Speaker 2: nine ers, will be discussing it all week long. Also
32:26
Speaker 2: a few thoughts on the activity the quarterback play from
32:29
Speaker 2: over the weekend, and even a little bit on the
32:32
Speaker 2: college football Final four. What I have not asked you
32:36
Speaker 2: about and I wanted to ask you about before coach
32:38
Speaker 2: joins us at nine o'clock, Hugh, is last week's crazy
32:42
Speaker 2: week for you, dubbed football it settled. I don't think
32:46
Speaker 2: the dust is settled. I think it's still swirling. But nonetheless,
32:50
Speaker 2: Jedfish spoke Friday with Softy and just your thoughts on
32:56
Speaker 2: how the week ended after all of that craziness.
33:00
Speaker 3: And by the way, great job with Mike MacDonald. I
33:02
Speaker 3: was great for the station to get him on Jed
33:05
Speaker 3: on the same day.
33:06
Speaker 4: But you know, in.
33:08
Speaker 3: Listening to him, I think that that he was media
33:12
Speaker 3: savvy in the sense that as a player in the
33:16
Speaker 3: NFL once a year, we'd have somebody come in and
33:18
Speaker 3: tell us how to deal with the media, that, hey,
33:21
Speaker 3: you tell your story. You if somebody asked you a
33:24
Speaker 3: question about, hey, what was the problem in the first quarter,
33:28
Speaker 3: you can answer that, but you can steer it into
33:31
Speaker 3: but look how great we played in the second half
33:33
Speaker 3: of whatever the example may be, and they give us examples.
33:38
Speaker 3: I think he was both savvy and evasive Jetfish, and
33:43
Speaker 3: I think he was particularly evasive, and I think professionally.
33:48
Speaker 3: So I'm not denigrating because I think once he made
33:51
Speaker 3: the decision that he wanted to have Demon Williams back,
33:55
Speaker 3: And by the way, there may not have been a
33:57
Speaker 3: decision the way this goes on, what is crystal clear
34:02
Speaker 3: is that when Washington threatened to bring legal action that
34:09
Speaker 3: any team was going to be responsible for that four
34:12
Speaker 3: million of nil that Washington owns Demond Williams NL rights.
34:18
Speaker 3: And so when Jed Fish was asked by Softy, hey
34:23
Speaker 3: was essentially was Demond Williams bentover barrel? Did he have
34:28
Speaker 3: to come back? The way Jed said it was a
34:31
Speaker 3: smoking gun to me. He said, all I can tell
34:34
Speaker 3: you is that he's excited to be on this team.
34:36
Speaker 3: He's excited to be with his teammates, etc. Didn't answer
34:40
Speaker 3: the question, nor do I think he should have, And
34:43
Speaker 3: so I'll summarize it like this, clearly, based on what
34:49
Speaker 3: I've been able to ascertain, there's a divided fan base.
34:52
Speaker 3: There are some that think that, there are many many
34:56
Speaker 3: many call it half, but there are I don't know
34:59
Speaker 3: if it's half, but many who say that demand Williams
35:03
Speaker 3: he's only nineteen, caught him a break. There is another
35:07
Speaker 3: large faction that is nineteen years old, you're old enough
35:10
Speaker 3: to know better, you're old enough to go to war,
35:13
Speaker 3: you're old enough to vote nonsense. So there's reasonable takes
35:17
Speaker 3: on that side.
35:18
Speaker 4: There.
35:19
Speaker 3: I think reasonable takes. There's an argument that can be made.
35:24
Speaker 3: They're reasonable that many have that Jetfish should not welcome
35:29
Speaker 3: him back, shouldn't be allowed. Others say, well, hang on,
35:33
Speaker 3: he's your best quarterback. There's a pragmatism. So there's a
35:37
Speaker 3: divided fan base in that regard, and I think there's
35:39
Speaker 3: reasonable takes on that side. But what I do not
35:43
Speaker 3: think there should be a divided fan base. There should
35:45
Speaker 3: be a thousand out of a hut, A thousand Husky
35:48
Speaker 3: fans should be aware of this fact that for the
35:51
Speaker 3: first time in the history of college football. Unless you
35:55
Speaker 3: can give me a better example. I've searched and I'll
35:58
Speaker 3: get to the liberty quarterback, but the first time you're
36:01
Speaker 3: going to be watching your quarterback who was legally bent
36:08
Speaker 3: over a barrel and had to come He's not coming
36:11
Speaker 3: back necessarily because Washington is his favorite team. He's coming
36:16
Speaker 3: back to Washington because it's his only team that he
36:19
Speaker 3: could have played for in twenty twenty six. His father
36:22
Speaker 3: has gone on the record saying Nope, Demond Williams isn't
36:25
Speaker 3: He's not playing. He will never play for Washington again.
36:29
Speaker 3: And yet, when you consider where the legal situation was,
36:34
Speaker 3: Demon Williams, his agent, his attorneys said, Demond Willms He's
36:40
Speaker 3: decided to return to Washington not because he was forced to,
36:43
Speaker 3: not because he didn't understand his options, but because he
36:46
Speaker 3: was fully educated on the consequences of each path and
36:50
Speaker 3: shows the one that made the most sense for him. Now,
36:53
Speaker 3: when you say not forced two, that's true. He was
36:56
Speaker 3: not forced to. He could have sat out and and
37:00
Speaker 3: not played in twenty twenty six, and he kind of
37:02
Speaker 3: could have gone wherever he wanted, but he could not
37:05
Speaker 3: have gone to LSU. The Juice wasn't worth the squeeze
37:09
Speaker 3: because he became a ten million dollar quarterback. You're gonna
37:12
Speaker 3: have to pay Washington four million plus plus Demond six million,
37:17
Speaker 3: Like like nobody's gonna do that. There's like a salary
37:19
Speaker 3: cap with the revenue share. Purdue wouldn't have taken him. Nobody,
37:24
Speaker 3: And so I think it's unfortunately, say well, that's the
37:27
Speaker 3: changing times.
37:28
Speaker 4: Nobody.
37:29
Speaker 3: No quarterback is like this. The dude at Liberty went
37:32
Speaker 3: into the portal, it was the same coach, came back
37:36
Speaker 3: with a handshake and a hug. There was no legal
37:40
Speaker 3: leverage that was used in that situation. And and you say, well, well, Rogers,
37:47
Speaker 3: he went into portal. No, he had committed to to
37:50
Speaker 3: to Kaitlin de Boord. So I think it's it's it's
37:53
Speaker 3: just kind of sad. It's sad to think that the
37:57
Speaker 3: quarterback is for Washington is playing only because that's his
38:01
Speaker 3: only spot.
38:04
Speaker 5: Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if he ends up transferring
38:06
Speaker 5: next year, or I guess he could go to the
38:08
Speaker 5: NFL after next year if he has a good year.
38:10
Speaker 3: Right well, I I think he'd be a fringe draft
38:15
Speaker 3: pick right now. I mean, he's just too small, hasn't
38:18
Speaker 3: done enough. Bad year for short quarterbacks, I'll tell you
38:21
Speaker 3: that much. Yeah, yeah, I mean it has been and
38:26
Speaker 3: so you know right now, you know, I think there's
38:30
Speaker 3: more Dorian Thompson Robinson to his career than there is
38:34
Speaker 3: Kyler Murray and that and that's not disparaging Dorian Thompson Robinson.
38:40
Speaker 3: You know he he was second team All Pack ten
38:43
Speaker 3: through for ten thousand, seven hundred yards. I was drafted
38:46
Speaker 3: in the third round. Like, that's not that's not a shot.
38:49
Speaker 3: All that's saying is there's a good gap between that
38:52
Speaker 3: and what Kyler Murray was winning the Heisman and being
38:54
Speaker 3: the number one overall as a small guy, or Brian
38:58
Speaker 3: Young or you know, you know Young. Yeah, Bryce Young, Yeah,
39:02
Speaker 3: excuse me. Bryce Young at Carolina is a similar similar
39:06
Speaker 3: in stature. So yeah, you're right, Chuck. The the relative,
39:11
Speaker 3: I don't say decline or or failure to produce in
39:14
Speaker 3: a big way that warrants the number one overalls. Certainly,
39:18
Speaker 3: those those players have not lived to that standard and
39:21
Speaker 3: in a in a small path. Yeah, I think there's
39:24
Speaker 3: a lot of question. Now he could play himself into
39:26
Speaker 3: a high draft pick. He could play himself into a
39:29
Speaker 3: Hall of Famer. You know, I'm not. I'm not going
39:31
Speaker 3: to sit there and put a ceiling on him. My
39:33
Speaker 3: comment is simply, there's great arguments for whether he should
39:37
Speaker 3: have come back. There's great arguments to evaluate the decision
39:41
Speaker 3: making of a nineteen year old. I think there's great
39:43
Speaker 3: arguments on both sides. What should not be misconstrued or misunderstood.
39:49
Speaker 3: Nobody should have the idea, well, he's coming back because
39:54
Speaker 3: because he just you know, you know, you know, your
39:56
Speaker 3: your girlfriend breaks up with you and then obviously goes,
39:58
Speaker 3: oh my god, what was I think? And I want
40:00
Speaker 3: to that's not how it played out. Your girlfriend's coming
40:04
Speaker 3: back to you because she has to have a prom
40:08
Speaker 3: date and.
40:10
Speaker 4: Legally you're the only date she can have. Uh yeah,
40:14
Speaker 4: crazy story, no doubt.
40:16
Speaker 2: All right, you coming up next? He will stay with us.

40:22
