• 2:06
  Speaker 2: What did you think of that game on Sunday? What
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: did you think of that defensive performance on Sunday?
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that was one of the most dominant defensive performances
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: in Super Bowl history. It really was. And then you know, quietly,
• 2:18
  Speaker 4: it's one of the best special teams performances in NFL history.
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: So it was an incredible win. I think the future
• 2:24
  Speaker 4: is bright. You know, from the moment the game was over,
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: everyone was talking about getting the Lombardi back to Seattle
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: and what that parade was going to be like, what
• 2:34
  Speaker 4: it was going to be like with the twelves, the
• 2:36
  Speaker 4: energy trying to cancel work, cancel school. You know, the
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: campaign started right after the game.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: So are you on team take your kids out of
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: school or would you be?
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: Like?
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: No, education is really important.
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: Education is important. It's incredibly important. That's why this is
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: a teachable moment. This is a learning moment, you know,
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: like there's a lot you can learn from this, some
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: good and some bad. I would even say there's gonna
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: be some uh, but but no, this is uh, this
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: is special. You know. I grew up in Boston and
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: there's been a lot of championship parades there and stuff
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: like that, but these are these are lasting memories for
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: parents and kids and also for friends and and for
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: a city, and so uh so I'm fired up to
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: be there. I mean you guys, sounds like you're at
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: the beginning of the parade. I'll be down there at
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: at loom And Field. I'm going to be riding the
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: I'm hoping to get on the Legends float. I know
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: Jim Zorn's riding his bike down because he's going to
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: ride home from the Space Needle back to Mercer Island.
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: I'm actually going to be doing something with with bud Light.
• 3:39
  Speaker 4: At the end of the thing. I'm gonna be guest
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: bartending somewhere in Lower Queen Anne. So I'm excited for that.
• 3:45
  Speaker 4: So it should be just an epic day. It should
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: be an epic day, and I'm really looking forward to it.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: Can't we tell people which bar? Do you? Is? This
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: supposed to be a surprise?
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: Well, I don't, yeah, I don't know what should I say?
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: I don't know? Should I say?
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: I guess?
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: Uh, yeah, I'm gonna be an You're gonna make you uncomfortable.
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: Well, it's gonna be you know. I'm gonna be at
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: Ozzy's in Lower Queen Anne, right near the Space Needle,
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: right near the end. I got to figure out my
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: logistics how I'm gonna get off the float. From the
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: space needle over to Ozzie's and then, uh, should be
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: a good time. But Bud likes doing like commemorative bottles
• 4:23
  Speaker 4: and kegs and packaging and all that kind of stuff
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: for Seahawks fans, and you know, so it should be.
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: It should be pretty cool. I think taking pictures meeting
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: people having a good time got to be twenty one
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: and over obviously, but it should be. It should be blast.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: Matt Hasselbeck is with us, number eight of eight.
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: He has been joining us throughout the postseason Wednesdays at
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: eight o'clock. It's been spectacular to have them on the
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: show weekly. And so look, I mean, you've already kind
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: of touched upon it. I know how hard it is.
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: You know how hard it is a lot more than
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: we do, uh to win a championship, and you came
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: up a little bit short, which proves how difficult it
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: is to win a championship in this league, much less
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: win two or possibly turn it into something that they've
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: experienced in New England.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: But the way that this team is set up.
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: Right now, I mean, do you expect that this won't
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: be the last parade that we'll see in Seattle over
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: the next five six years.
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: Well, the arrow is definitely trending up. We've got a
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: great head coach, a great GM, and we've got the
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: quarterback lockdown. You know, when you get that triad, those three,
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: that's really important. Now they will have to replace Clint Kubiak,
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: and it'll be interesting to see who goes with him
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: on the coaching staff or if he grabs anybody in
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: free agency. But but no, this this team absolutely is
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: set up to have a lot of success. Now. Listen,
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: the Rams are going to be who the Rams were
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: this year. They're back. Stafford's back, They've got I think
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: they have two first round draft picks, so it's not
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: going to be easy. But I've got full confidence in
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: this group and we should be really excited about it.
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: How big of an issue is it when your offensive
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: coordinator goes out? I hear Greg Bell is kind of
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: not necessarily reporting, but he thinks from what he's hearing
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: that there's a good chance that they might promote from
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: within to keep some of the continuity. So how important
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: is that and how big of a step back could
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: the team take initially just in trying to replace Klint
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: Kubiac Well.
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: Klink Kubiak an incredible coach. I think everyone will tell
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: you that there's the reason that Tom Brady could have
• 6:29
  Speaker 4: picked anybody to be the new Raiders head coach, and
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: he picked Clint Kubiak. Those are big shoes to fill.
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: I mean, you saw what happened to the Detroit Lions
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: when they lost Van Johnson. All of a sudden, The
• 6:38
  Speaker 4: Bears are good and Detroit faltered and they were nowhere
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: near as good. So it will be a challenge. Getting
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: the right people in charge on the offensive side of
• 6:46
  Speaker 4: the ball will be a thing. But I kind of
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: think of it, you know, like in John we trust
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: and Mike McDonald be trust and I think that's I
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: think that's kind of the you know what everybody feels
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: good about in this kind of a situation.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: Have you ever bartended before and what is your go
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: to drink that you make?
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: Yeah? I bartended in New York City at a Seahawks
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: bar with a bunch of people from London. It's like
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: an international Seahawks bar in London, and they taught me
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: how to do. I usually do a Guinness or a
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: bud light with a Guinness which some people use a
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: bud light and a harp or sorry, a Guinness and
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: a Harps called a black and a black and tan.
• 7:29
  Speaker 4: But uh, you know, I'm limited in the skills, but
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: I'm like coachable. Just if you don't ask if Mike
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: holmgrean would say, maybe not coachable. But I think I'm coachable.
• 7:38
  Speaker 4: But we'll see, we'll see.
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: I'm agnologist poor a Guinness, a real mixology.
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: I was picturing you Tom Cruise cocktails, spitting things around,
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: pouring behind your back.
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: You're saying that's not the case.
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: No, I'm saying not yet. I'm not saying no, I'm
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: saying not yet.
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: Kind a chance, Bucky, Yeah, give him a shot. Matt
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: Hasselbeck with us on chucking Black. Let's talk about this quarterback,
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: Sam Donald. I mean, it's very clear to us in
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: Seattle that there's just gonna be a conversation about Sam
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: Donald no matter what he does, that people are just
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: gonna wait for him to fail nationally. So now that
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: you've watched him quarterback this team become a champion, what
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: do you say to all of the critics that will
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: not relent on Sam Donald?
• 8:25
  Speaker 4: I say, how you like them apples? And he got
• 8:27
  Speaker 4: the Libardi let's go. I mean that's that's what I
• 8:29
  Speaker 4: got to say.
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well, I mean there is people though, that are
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: going to I mean, I get that there's a lot
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: of people that could be quarterback with that defense, with
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: this team and possibly have still got to where this
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: team got. But I don't think that they won in
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: spite of Sam Donald.
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: You don't, right, No, not at all.
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: I mean he went to to toe with Matthew Stafford
• 8:51
  Speaker 4: in the NFC championship game, had like the fourth best
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: NFC Championship game of any quarterback of all time in
• 8:57
  Speaker 4: that game, so you know he did that. Now, I
• 9:00
  Speaker 4: also would say that he was smart with the football
• 9:02
  Speaker 4: and it was historic how the Seahawks had no interceptions
• 9:06
  Speaker 4: and no fumbles the entire playoff run. That's one of
• 9:09
  Speaker 4: the major reasons that they won. You let your punter
• 9:11
  Speaker 4: do his thing. You let your defense to defend the
• 9:15
  Speaker 4: the long field like that's really great. And even on
• 9:18
  Speaker 4: his near missus his long foul balls. There's a saying
• 9:21
  Speaker 4: in quarterback rooms, you know, basically, this throws an US
• 9:25
  Speaker 4: or nobody throw. It's either us or nobody, And you know,
• 9:29
  Speaker 4: not turning the ball over is an important part of it.
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: And that's how Mike McDonald chose to get this championship.
• 9:35
  Speaker 4: He chose to make the opposing offense go the long,
• 9:38
  Speaker 4: hard way and prioritizing not turning the ball over. And
• 9:42
  Speaker 4: that was something we've proved on and it's quite honestly
• 9:45
  Speaker 4: the main reason that we're Super Bowl champs now. So
• 9:49
  Speaker 4: I know, I give him a lot of credit. I
• 9:50
  Speaker 4: thought he was in command of command of the games,
• 9:53
  Speaker 4: and it wasn't about throwing for a bunch of yards.
• 9:55
  Speaker 4: It was about getting victories.
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: You know, you add to one of the great offensive
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: mines NFL history as your head coach in Mike Holmgren.
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: I would imagine most quarterbacks would like a head coach
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: that was offensive minded. But imagine you're Sam Donald and
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: you're starting this journey with Mike McDonald. What kind of
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: an endious position is he in to have this thirty
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: eight year old head coach calling the shots.
• 10:19
  Speaker 4: That's huge. But I also would say that I think
• 10:21
  Speaker 4: I think Sam Donald ended up choosing Seattle in large
• 10:25
  Speaker 4: part because Clint Kubiak was the offensive coordinator. There's a
• 10:28
  Speaker 4: lot of quarterbacks out there that love these Mike Shanahan disciples,
• 10:33
  Speaker 4: these kind of these Sean mcvay's Kyle Shanahan like that
• 10:37
  Speaker 4: kind of a coach, So you know, I doe think
• 10:40
  Speaker 4: that that's an important, important part of it. Now Sam's
• 10:43
  Speaker 4: no longer a young player, so he's more of a
• 10:45
  Speaker 4: veteran player who could be paired with maybe a younger
• 10:49
  Speaker 4: or newer, fresher, greener type guy that's in that same
• 10:53
  Speaker 4: Shanahan disciple kind of offense. And then obviously Mike McDonald
• 10:58
  Speaker 4: I think has developed into a guy not just a
• 11:01
  Speaker 4: defensive coach. He the culture setter, a vision setter, and
• 11:05
  Speaker 4: is obviously very smart when it comes to both sides
• 11:07
  Speaker 4: of the ball.
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: Matt, I mean during that game, you know, ken Walker
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: ends up getting the MVP, and kudos to him. He
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: ran the ball well and it did set it up
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: to where you could lean on that and the defense
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: and you didn't have to put the ball in danger
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: a whole heck of a lot of it, and it
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: was quite dominant. If you had an MVP vote, would
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: it have went to him or would you have maybe
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: given it to one of those defensive guys the way
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: that they played.
• 11:32
  Speaker 4: Well, that's the really cool thing about the game is
• 11:34
  Speaker 4: there were a lot of candidates. I mean, Jason Myers
• 11:36
  Speaker 4: set a Super Bowl record as a field goal kicker.
• 11:39
  Speaker 4: You know, I thought our punt game was incredible, but
• 11:42
  Speaker 4: there was a part of me for a large part
• 11:44
  Speaker 4: of the game that thought, are we going to have
• 11:46
  Speaker 4: like a like a Micah Rouzioni moment where the whole
• 11:49
  Speaker 4: defense gets up there as the MVP, you know, like
• 11:52
  Speaker 4: it was. It was one of those you know, we
• 11:54
  Speaker 4: had a couple of gigs with one guy with two sacks,
• 11:56
  Speaker 4: another guy with the first ever sacked, Devin Witherspoon caused
• 11:59
  Speaker 4: the kind of the sack fumble that turned into what
• 12:02
  Speaker 4: they call the pick six. I mean, there were some
• 12:04
  Speaker 4: great efforts as a whole, and I just think that
• 12:07
  Speaker 4: that's one of the best things you can say about
• 12:09
  Speaker 4: this team. There were multiple people that could have been,
• 12:12
  Speaker 4: you know, considered for the MVP. I mean, Barner started
• 12:15
  Speaker 4: out as a really strong game and then had the touchdown.
• 12:18
  Speaker 4: Cooper Cup had some clutch clutch third down, some versions.
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: It was.
• 12:22
  Speaker 4: It was one of those games. It was. It was
• 12:24
  Speaker 4: a team effort. I'm happy for Kenneth Walker. He shared
• 12:27
  Speaker 4: the load much of the year. Was Zach Charbonay Sharbonay
• 12:29
  Speaker 4: goes down. He's asked to step up at the end
• 12:31
  Speaker 4: of the year and carry the load. He looked fresh,
• 12:34
  Speaker 4: he looked healthy. Credit to the Seahawks for for load
• 12:37
  Speaker 4: management and sharing the load all year so that ken
• 12:40
  Speaker 4: Walker could be at his best at the end of
• 12:42
  Speaker 4: the year. I thought it was just a great team
• 12:44
  Speaker 4: effort by everybody. My only my only thing I wish
• 12:48
  Speaker 4: I wish at the podium afterwards with the Lombardi on TV,
• 12:51
  Speaker 4: I wish there were some at least a couple defensive
• 12:54
  Speaker 4: guys up there as well, because they were so great
• 12:57
  Speaker 4: in this game.
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that was hard part. It is like, okay, who
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: do you pick?
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: I mean, how do you single one or two guys
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: out from that kind of an effort. And yet our
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: own Seahawks insider Greg Bell, he picked Devin Witherspoon is
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: the MVP. So he made a decision. He made a call.
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: But it is a tricky situation. I would have loved
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: to have seen him. I would have loved to have
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: seen Mike McDonald be the MVP, to be honest man.
• 13:22
  Speaker 4: Well yeah, well yeah, that's why I really thought there
• 13:25
  Speaker 4: was an opportunity for crews. The only moment, if you
• 13:28
  Speaker 4: don't know who Mike clus only is he's capped into
• 13:30
  Speaker 4: the USA nineteen eighty hockey team. He goes up to
• 13:32
  Speaker 4: get the gold medal and he's like, uh, all of
• 13:35
  Speaker 4: my teammates up here, everybody up here, and it was
• 13:37
  Speaker 4: just an iconic moment. I thought, really, that would have
• 13:40
  Speaker 4: been more appropriate with the way that our defense played
• 13:43
  Speaker 4: team defense, everybody carrying the water, everybody having a hand
• 13:47
  Speaker 4: in it. That would have been that would have been epic.
• 13:49
  Speaker 4: Maybe maybe we can get that done today.
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: I'm glad you brought up Michael Dixon too, because I
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: keep trying to force him into conversations, and usually I
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: like to only.
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: Mock punters and kickers. That's usually been my role in
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: my life.
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: But he was sensational on Sunday. I thought that was
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: the best game he'd ever played as a Sea On well.
• 14:09
  Speaker 4: It was an incredible game statistically, like if you're in
• 14:11
  Speaker 4: the math, it was an incredible game. But I'll even
• 14:14
  Speaker 4: take it one further, go back to the NFC Championship game.
• 14:17
  Speaker 4: One of the biggest plays in the game was the
• 14:19
  Speaker 4: muffed punt he puts. He's got this little like knuckleball
• 14:22
  Speaker 4: spin he can do on his punts, and the rams
• 14:25
  Speaker 4: punt returner was struggling with it all night, and that
• 14:28
  Speaker 4: was where he fumbled the ball. Darek Young picked it up.
• 14:31
  Speaker 4: I think it was a play. Later Jake Bobo had
• 14:33
  Speaker 4: his touchdown catch, So that that's real. I mean to me,
• 14:37
  Speaker 4: Dixon and the punts, the job he did punting is
• 14:40
  Speaker 4: a huge reason we're even in the super Bowl, never
• 14:43
  Speaker 4: mind the reason we won it. And he was just
• 14:45
  Speaker 4: incredible balls inside twenty all night.
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: Okay, I'm gonna have you put your John Schneider hat
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: on and Sam Darnold wins the super Bowl first year
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: as a Seahawk. I mean, if cap number goes up
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: next year and you have him signed even to a
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: bigger number the following season, is did he do enough
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: in your opinion.
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: Even at his age where he's at right now, where you'd.
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: Say, let's go ahead and lock this dude up, let's
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: go ahead and make this a little bit longer term
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: than just the next couple of years.
• 15:12
  Speaker 4: Well, I think he's locked up, and I think it's mutual.
• 15:15
  Speaker 4: I mean, I can't even imagine same wouldever want to
• 15:17
  Speaker 4: go anywhere, and he's under contract. They just did him
• 15:20
  Speaker 4: last year. I think the bigger, the bigger question is
• 15:23
  Speaker 4: you know, what's what are you gonna do with guys
• 15:25
  Speaker 4: like Kenneth Walker? What are you going to do with
• 15:27
  Speaker 4: guys like Jason Myers, Rashid Shaheed? You know what, how
• 15:30
  Speaker 4: much does continuity matter to you? Where do you want
• 15:33
  Speaker 4: to get younger? More competitive? Uh? Where where do you
• 15:36
  Speaker 4: want to you know, maybe just build the depth because
• 15:39
  Speaker 4: this really was an impressive team. But uh, and then
• 15:42
  Speaker 4: the other thing is when you lose Clint Coopiak, who's
• 15:44
  Speaker 4: he going to try to take with him to Las Vegas?
• 15:47
  Speaker 4: So you know, that's that's another part of it, coaches
• 15:50
  Speaker 4: and players. But no, I think I think the big name,
• 15:52
  Speaker 4: the big name will be Kenneth Walker. Zach Sharpona's coming
• 15:55
  Speaker 4: up with a big injury. When will he be back?
• 15:57
  Speaker 4: What are they gonna do with with k nine?
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Matt hasselback with us.
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: He's been with us every Wednesday at eight o'clock throughout
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: the entire postseason run, which ended with a Super Bowl championship.
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: The parade is here today, So what is it that
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: you want to get out of the parade today?
• 16:15
  Speaker 4: Matt? Well, you know what, I'm really looking forward to
• 16:18
  Speaker 4: the ceremony at Loomenfield. But I think even more than that.
• 16:22
  Speaker 4: I'm looking forward to afterwards. Like I said, I'm going
• 16:24
  Speaker 4: to be up at Ozzie's. I'm going to be bartending
• 16:27
  Speaker 4: for a little bit. I'm hoping to hang out a
• 16:29
  Speaker 4: little bit, you know, lift the bartenders bartend. But Bud
• 16:33
  Speaker 4: Mike's giving up commemorative Super Bowl packaging and stuff like that.
• 16:38
  Speaker 4: So really excited what they did this season with NFL fans.
• 16:41
  Speaker 4: They dropped off a bunch of kegs after the NFC
• 16:44
  Speaker 4: Championship game. So if you're twenty one plus and you
• 16:47
  Speaker 4: want to keep the party going after the parade, I'll
• 16:50
  Speaker 4: be up there. It sounds like you guys have to
• 16:53
  Speaker 4: start all on lockdown up there. I'll take the finish
• 16:57
  Speaker 4: and I we'll just continue the team. We'll just continue
• 16:59
  Speaker 4: the team.
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: For teamwork makes the dream work. That's the way. That's
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: the way I've heard it. I made up that right
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: here on the spot. I don't think you did you
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: hear that? Clever? Pretty creative on the fly. Well, uh,
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: I don't.
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: It's been great having you on here every Wednesday throughout
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: this postseason run. Truly outstanding. We hope we'd get to
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: do it more in the future. I'm just curious how
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: much of Bucky and I changed your life?
• 17:25
  Speaker 4: Right, Yeah, it was really I mean, you know, I
• 17:27
  Speaker 4: mean I think we were good. We were on the
• 17:29
  Speaker 4: right path till I found out Bucky was such a
• 17:31
  Speaker 4: diehard Broncos fan. Then you know, we kind of hit
• 17:33
  Speaker 4: a the relationship got complicated at that point. But but
• 17:38
  Speaker 4: you know, but but in all seriousness, maybe we could
• 17:41
  Speaker 4: do this every postseason. Maybe this will just be our
• 17:44
  Speaker 4: postseason thing, you know, you just get together for the
• 17:47
  Speaker 4: Super Bowl run. I would enjoy that.
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: Well, that would be awesome, fine with that, And I
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: don't think we have to agree on everything.
• 17:54
  Speaker 4: Okay, Well, I grew up with John Elway fans, just
• 17:59
  Speaker 4: just for whatever. That's worse. I had a Broncos jersey
• 18:02
  Speaker 4: I wore all the time. And then then I got
• 18:04
  Speaker 4: drafted by a different team, and I said, the heck
• 18:06
  Speaker 4: with the Broncos. So I don't even know who you are.
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: Well, I didn't get drafted by the Seahawks.
• 18:09
  Speaker 4: Okay, that's true.
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: All right, man, Well, thanks again, we appreciate have a
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: blast today and we'll talk to you.
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: Down the line.
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: Well do thanks guys, all right, Matt hasselback number eight today.
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: That was great. That was fun.
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: I just kind of threw that out there in a meeting,
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: like would be cool to get Matt hasselback throughout the postseason.
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: Ashley goes, let me see what I can do. Yeah,
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: get a call like magic. Four hours later, he's in. Yeah. Yeah.
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: I thought a bit of a tough negotiation. Yeah, but
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: I got it done. I thought it was great up
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: until the end right there. Oh but Verly.
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: Just has to throw shade at me, like we didn't
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: we didn't embolden his life somewhere just because I like
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: the Broncos.
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, thanks for I mean, he and I were probably
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: gonna go on a vacation to Bermuda.
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and then you ruined it. Yeah. Yeah, I'll bet
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: he'll stone and bite you. He's just gonna be like,
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: don't don't tell Bucky They're going. We'll see. And that's fine.
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: I don't need to I don't need to hang out
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: with people that like call things caused and garages. I
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: don't need to talk weird. How's that? How's that? I
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: have a question for you guys. Ye are there a
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: lot of people there? There's a lot of people.
• 19:19
  Speaker 4: It sounds like it.
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, packed house. Yeah sounds pretty good.
• 19:23
  Speaker 3: These are the smart people. These are the people that
• 19:25
  Speaker 3: come in and uh, you know prefunk.
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: Before that, they got breakfast biscuits and gravy over there.
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: Championship biscuits is what they're called. Ribstick and stuff is
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: what they did. Do you gotta lead the solid foundation?
• 19:38
  Speaker 4: Yeah, before the day of drinking.
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: Ashley and Bucky like, do we have better experts? No
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: at this than the two of you.
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: No to me, because I'm so professional. I'm just drinking
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: apple juice. But I'm thinking I'm gonna get one of
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: these uh, these little alcoholic coffee things I'm seeing over here.
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: What are they called again? Yep? Cool? Yeah, very New England. Yeah,
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: I think that's a hassleback over there.
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, coming up next, not just getting you
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: ready for the parade, but we're using today and our
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: show today as a vehicle to kind of review a
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: season in review of the Seahawks and man, this was
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: a controversial moment in the offseason last year, but it
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: could not have worked out better for John Schneider, Mike
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: McDonald and the Seahawks. Will discuss at next Sports Radio
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: ninety three point three KJRFM.
• 20:32
  Speaker 5: Do you want a blockbuster. We got a blockbuster. Sources
• 20:37
  Speaker 5: say DK Metcalf has in fact been traded to the
• 20:42
  Speaker 5: Pittsburgh Steelers. These Steelers land Dk metcalp and oh, by
• 20:46
  Speaker 5: the way, give him a five year, one hundred and
• 20:48
  Speaker 5: fifty million dollar contract thirty million dollars per year for DK.
• 20:51
  Speaker 5: It is a second rounder and a full reset. Going
• 20:54
  Speaker 5: to Seattle now is the opportunity to basically completely remake
• 20:59
  Speaker 5: their team quarterback after trading Gino need a new top
• 21:02
  Speaker 5: receiver after moving on from Dk. It is a lot
• 21:05
  Speaker 5: no better general manager than John Stowner to get it done.
• 21:08
  Speaker 5: The blockbuster of the night, DK Metcalf to the.
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: Steelers Ian rapaport with some rapporting right there an NFL
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: network as he's a good friend of that ian for
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: nest those Ian's they hang together. But that was the
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: off season and part of our Seahawks season in review.
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: It's Chuck Powell, Bucky Jacobs, and Ashley Ryan with you.
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: Bucky and I here at Jimmy's on First. By the way,
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: a couple of tables opened up. I didn't know if
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: that was going to happen before ten o'clock. So if
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: you're on your way down here, want to sneak in
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: a quick bloody Mary or play the eggs, whatever you Yancie,
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: this is the place for it.
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: And so I.
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: Mean, it's a great crowd right now, like an ideal crowd,
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: but there's.
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: A little space for you, So come on by.
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: Jimmy's on first, and of course they'll be here for
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: you all day long, and it's great to be here.
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: We're going to be here for you all day long
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: for parade day. Ian Farness does take over at ten o'clock.
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: We're flip flopping the midday shows.
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: So Ian, who's lifelong Sea Hawk fan and one of
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: the great broadcasters in history, is going to be in
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: charge of our parade coverage. He's going to be our
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: master of ceremonies. And then we've got all sorts of
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: Kjar personalities out in the field today, including our own
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: Ashley Ryan, who's going to get in the mix. Softie
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: will lead up that troop and it's gonna be a fun,
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: fun day on KJAR. And obviously if you're out here
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: celebrating the championship, feel like a champion. Everything feels like
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: a champion today. Even people's beer tasted like a champion beer.
• 22:49
  Speaker 3: The fact well I mean, I hate the omelet, and
• 22:51
  Speaker 3: it tasted more championship either any omelet I've ever had.
• 22:55
  Speaker 3: And it wasn't just because I had three delicious meats
• 22:57
  Speaker 3: in it. It was like meat and then there was
• 23:00
  Speaker 3: like a drizzle of championship over the top of it.
• 23:03
  Speaker 3: And Yeah, he walked by some fella and he just
• 23:04
  Speaker 3: looked at me and goes, dear, just tastes better today
• 23:08
  Speaker 3: like it was. He was almost emotional. That's that's championship beer.
• 23:11
  Speaker 3: That's why it's a little bit more crisp. It's a
• 23:13
  Speaker 3: little bit.
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: Cooler, that's right. Actually, I hope you're prepared for it.
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: I hope you got your game face on. Yeah, face on,
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: championship face game on. Yeah, you look like a champion today.
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: We can't even see if that telling a championship sound.
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: Like one, Alura, I know you can just feel the aura, right,
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: smell like a champion.
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: Well, that's because I showered champions shower. We mixed that
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: in a little bit.
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: More champions body wash. I mean, it was normal body wash,
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: but today it was champion body wash. Well, the championship
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: you know you always I mean, obviously, it's it's execution
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: on the field, it's a game plan, camaraderie, it's the clubhouse,
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: but a lot of it starts up top and those
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: decisions that you make. This is not the New York
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: Mets and Los Angeles Dodgers who just want to out
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: spend everybody to win their championships. In the National Football League,
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: there is a salary cap and you got to make
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: it work, and you've got tough decisions to make all
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: the time. And John Schneider has been on just an
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: absolute heater, and as we do a Seahawks season in
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: review on today's show today, I don't think we can
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: talk about this season without that decision that he had
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: to make regarding dk Metcalf, the late second round pick
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: that he traded up to get. It caused Hugh Millan
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: to do a dance on top of a table and
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: then eventually beneath the table because he slipped and fell
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: and ended up beneath the table that day. And certainly
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: we had this beast of a receiver and spent a
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: lot of Mondays over the course of the last four
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: years complaining that he.
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: He wasn't being used properly.
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: And then this offseason, dk Metcalf wonted out John didn't
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: have to trade him. But I think John Schneider knew
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: I'd got a wide receiver one. Now he wears number eleven,
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: not number fourteen. I can trade Dk Metcalf for a
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: whole and we can just start life without Dk Metcalf.
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: And as tantalizing a talent as he was, and as
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: frustrated as Seahawk fans were at times that they thought
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: you could get more out of him, DK Metcalf and
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: Pittsburgh looked like the same Dk Metcalf here in Seattle
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: this season. Meanwhile, JSN turns into a guy in the
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: conversation for best wide receiver.
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: In the world. What a phenomenal decision by John Schneider.
• 25:48
  Speaker 3: Well, I mean, I think that both things can be
• 25:52
  Speaker 3: somewhat true. I think you can look at DK Metcalf
• 25:54
  Speaker 3: and say wow, and then you can even he had
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: a couple of seasons here over a thousand yards, you
• 25:59
  Speaker 3: can say this dude's crazy and it looks like there
• 26:02
  Speaker 3: could be more, And yet it's possible that there isn't more.
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: I mean, the fact that he had.
• 26:08
  Speaker 3: Fifteen you know, fines and things here that didn't change
• 26:13
  Speaker 3: when he went to you know, Pittsburgh, under Mike Tomlin,
• 26:15
  Speaker 3: who I think is one of the better coaches out
• 26:17
  Speaker 3: there keeping people in line. You know, even got suspended
• 26:21
  Speaker 3: this year. I think there's a very good probability that
• 26:24
  Speaker 3: is a talent that you you lost some talent, but
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: you you got some addition by subtraction. When we're talking
• 26:30
  Speaker 3: about this team right now, after they celebrate, they're celebrating
• 26:33
  Speaker 3: the championship, and how they're all together, they're all on
• 26:36
  Speaker 3: the same page. It doesn't seem like their selfishness. If anything,
• 26:39
  Speaker 3: when someone like a week one, does something that is
• 26:43
  Speaker 3: just kind of out of maybe not out of character,
• 26:45
  Speaker 3: but it's not a team move, and then you got
• 26:49
  Speaker 3: rookies coming in and going, hey, come on, man, we
• 26:51
  Speaker 3: can't do that. We can't be giving teams opportunities when
• 26:54
  Speaker 3: we've done everything we can to get them to punt
• 26:57
  Speaker 3: the ball. So I just feel like this is one
• 26:59
  Speaker 3: where the character part of it. Not to say DK's
• 27:02
  Speaker 3: a bad dude, but I don't know for sure if
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: he meshes as well with what it feels like goes
• 27:07
  Speaker 3: on in that locker room with the Seahawks team.
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and I'd go even further with that. Yeah, you're right,
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: I don't think he was a bad dude. I think
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: his teammates liked him. But Dk was bothered by the
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: coaching changeover. He was bothered by a few things behind
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: the scenes, and he wanted out. And Gino was bothered
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: by some things. Gino looked like somebody had, you know,
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: wet in this cheerios now last year, all season long,
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: and he wanted out.
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: There's a better world out there for both of us. Well,
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: how do you like me now? Yeah? And I love it.
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: I love that John said, you know what, you guys
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: aren't exactly a sure fire. I need to give you
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: thirty five million dollars a year wide receiver, and you
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: aren't exactly some championship pedigree quarterback.
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: I mean, you guys are good, but I.
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: Think we can do better and not have to deal
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: with two guys in our clubhouse that don't want to
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: be here.
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: It was brilliant. It was brilliant on both counts to
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: make the decision. Then in there.
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: We've gotten a lot of good football out of both
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: of you, but we think we're going to be better
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: without you and the things that we can do with
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: the money we're not spending on DK metcalf with some
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: trade assets coming to us, and the same thing with
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: Gino Smith.
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: We can be a better football team. And my goodness,
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: where they a better football team?
• 28:33
  Speaker 3: Well, the quarterback's most important position in any singular position
• 28:37
  Speaker 3: in sports.
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: Everybody knows that.
• 28:39
  Speaker 3: And I'm not going to put this all on Gino
• 28:42
  Speaker 3: or take all of the credit away from Sam or
• 28:44
  Speaker 3: give it. But I mean, you didn't make the playoffs
• 28:48
  Speaker 3: with Gino last year, and you get rid of him,
• 28:51
  Speaker 3: and he goes and it's not all his fault that
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: the Raiders are the worst team and they get the
• 28:55
  Speaker 3: number one pick. He didn't do a lot to help, yep,
• 28:57
  Speaker 3: but he didn't take you you out of anywhere, and
• 29:02
  Speaker 3: flip that and you get Sam Donald and all of
• 29:04
  Speaker 3: a sudden you go to a place which the defense
• 29:06
  Speaker 3: wasn't some crazy different defense. As a matter of fact,
• 29:10
  Speaker 3: it was a lot of the same guys defensively, and
• 29:12
  Speaker 3: it just maybe they got better and learn a McDonald's system.
• 29:16
  Speaker 3: But there were still too many times when a guy
• 29:18
  Speaker 3: who had played good throughout the parts of his time
• 29:21
  Speaker 3: as a starting quarterback in Geno Smith, there were times
• 29:23
  Speaker 3: that he played really badly and you didn't see that
• 29:26
  Speaker 3: near as much out of Sam Donald.
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: So I think you most certainly did.
• 29:29
  Speaker 3: I think it's a stroke of genius to realize when
• 29:31
  Speaker 3: you have to get rid of somebody that something that
• 29:33
  Speaker 3: you know is still capable of helping your team.
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: Oh sure, but it's a good player. Yeah. But Dk Metcalfford.
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: They wanted to be paid like a great player.
• 29:40
  Speaker 3: Yep, one hundred percent. You wanted I mean thirty three
• 29:43
  Speaker 3: or thirty five million dollars a year, whatever it is
• 29:45
  Speaker 3: that DK got. And you're like, we have a guy
• 29:47
  Speaker 3: in house who's just better better than you. He's just
• 29:50
  Speaker 3: a better wide receiver period. Maybe he's not as big,
• 29:53
  Speaker 3: maybe he's not as fast, he's just better at playing
• 29:56
  Speaker 3: wide receiver. It's like in baseball they use the term
• 29:58
  Speaker 3: he's a ballplayer, like Jackson Smith, and.
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: Jig was a ball player.
• 30:03
  Speaker 3: He just understands what it is he's supposed to do
• 30:05
  Speaker 3: and he didn't have to have freakish talent to do it.
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: And if all that wasn't good enough, I mean, you
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: get if you trade a guy for draft picks, obviously
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: you got to make those draft picks work. And boy
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: did John make the draft pick for DK metcalf work.
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: His name is Nick Emon Worri, who we're going to
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: talk about in our next segment and our Seahawks season
• 30:28

  Speaker 3: Glad we got him in here without his pants being

  Speaker 3: all wet, right right, I think about wetting himself out
• 31:55
  Speaker 3: in traffic, didn't.
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: I just give a list of things not to have happened,
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: ruined it before he even started.
• 32:02
  Speaker 3: MC dudie, don't pee in public, don't pee yourself in public.
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: Y was two of them, and he almost did both.
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: Pee himself in public. I thought he was kidding when
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: he sent us a text.
• 32:12
  Speaker 3: I did too, but I ran out there just in
• 32:14
  Speaker 3: case he wasn't kidding. And boy, the look of relief
• 32:17
  Speaker 3: on his face when he saw me exit the doors.
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: Here here queen line for Valley. I gotta go tinkle.
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: He didn't say that you can be Master's ceremonies with
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: a big doll stain on your hands.
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: The smell. Yeah yeah, So I'm glad he made it.
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: I am too. Good job, thanks, Bucky, You're welcome.
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: That's a teammate, that's right, World championship team working, that's right,
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: that's right.
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: The boss Man rolled in two. So he got the boss.
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: Man here at the I'm nervous. Greg Bell so yeah,
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: we're ready to go. Are you listening out there as
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: we get ready for a championship parade day here in Seattle. Look,
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: we've been doing a little bit of a season in
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: review also while getting you ready for the parade, and
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: we can't do a season interview without discussing nick Emon Worri,
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: who fast became a lot of people's favorite Seahawk in
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: his rookie year.
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: He just checks every box, Bucky.
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: I mean, you want to talk about a guy that
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: just came in here with what we thought of him was, well,
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: we know he's a freakish athlete, and we know Mike
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: McDonald is excited to work with him. And what kind
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: of combination could that be? Mike McDonald his ability to
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: use weapons like this, how can he weaponize nick Emon Worri?
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: It was even better than any of us dreamed. I
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: would argue that there was a time in the season
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: and he was banged up in the Super Bowl. Maybe
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: didn't play his best game in the Super Bowl. Others
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: outshined him on Super Bowl Sunday. But I think you
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: could make an argument that in his rookie season, nick
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: Emon Warri was the best defensive player on the best
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: defensive team in the National Football League.
• 33:55
  Speaker 3: You want to talk about an impact, well, I mean
• 33:57
  Speaker 3: the idea of the freakish talent that he brought to
• 34:00
  Speaker 3: the table, the things that everybody saw when he was
• 34:03
  Speaker 3: working out and getting prepared for the draft, and yet
• 34:06
  Speaker 3: the way in which John Snyder worked the draft to
• 34:09
  Speaker 3: still get back up there and get him where he did.
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: I'll dare him put us at risk like that. Well,
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: he's smarter than everybody.
• 34:15
  Speaker 3: He understood exactly what he could do, and he still
• 34:17
  Speaker 3: ended up with that player. And I'm sure Mike McDonald
• 34:20
  Speaker 3: was like, thank you, because I mean that the weapon,
• 34:23
  Speaker 3: the ability to do you know, Hugh talks about he's
• 34:26
  Speaker 3: basically a Sam linebacker, even though he's a big nickel
• 34:29
  Speaker 3: or whatever whatever classification you want to put on it.
• 34:32
  Speaker 3: The fact that he can set the edge in the
• 34:33
  Speaker 3: run game. He's instinctial where he he reads that and
• 34:37
  Speaker 3: can play the run game as well as any defensive
• 34:40
  Speaker 3: back out there because he's the size of a linebacker.
• 34:42
  Speaker 3: But then he's fast enough on the next play to
• 34:45
  Speaker 3: cover you know, Dante Adams or a top tier wide receiver.
• 34:50
  Speaker 3: There's just something about that that you can do that's
• 34:52
  Speaker 3: kind of an ace up your sleeve. And for a
• 34:54
  Speaker 3: defensive minded genius like Mike McDonald is, he obviously knew
• 34:58
  Speaker 3: what it was he could do with this guy. I
• 35:00
  Speaker 3: didn't necessarily think he would be able to implement all
• 35:03
  Speaker 3: of his ideas in year one. You just didn't think, Well,
• 35:07
  Speaker 3: everybody's talking about how complex this defense is. There's no
• 35:09
  Speaker 3: way he's going to be able to implement everything that
• 35:11
  Speaker 3: he thinks he's capable of eventually. But I don't know
• 35:15
  Speaker 3: what he left on the table. I'll bet there probably
• 35:17
  Speaker 3: is some stuff that old Mike McDonald's like, I can't
• 35:20
  Speaker 3: wait until he figures this thing out because then I
• 35:23
  Speaker 3: can do this. But I mean, yeah, you're right. I
• 35:25
  Speaker 3: think that there's no doubt about it that a defense
• 35:28
  Speaker 3: that's filled with a bunch of really really good players,
• 35:31
  Speaker 3: some of them that could quite possibly go down as
• 35:33
  Speaker 3: being great when it's all said and done. I think
• 35:35
  Speaker 3: Nick even worry in his first year propelled himself to
• 35:38
  Speaker 3: the top of the list.
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: Well he didn't even I mean think about he missed
• 35:41
  Speaker 2: some games the beginning of the year. We didn't start
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: looking like a division champion until he was in the lineup.
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: We didn't start looking like there was a championship future,
• 35:51
  Speaker 2: until he was a fixture in the lineup, until he
• 35:53
  Speaker 2: was comfortable, until he the speed of the game he'd
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: gotten accustomed to, and then man and the team took
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: off as he was taking off, and it was a
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: beautiful thing to watch. What an exciting player to have
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: in house for the next few years.
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: I mean, to get a.
• 36:10
  Speaker 2: Guy with that kind of athletic ability, those instincts, and
• 36:14
  Speaker 2: also a love for football that makes him one of
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: the great workout guys on the team, one of the
• 36:20
  Speaker 2: hungriest players on the team, and that's.
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: A that's a dream combination to get it, and we
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: got him with a thirty fifth pick.
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: I mean, you get the freaking biggest freak athlete in
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: the entire draft who also makes plays and loves football
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: and as a work ethic and he was even the
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: guy that ripped Greek Woollan's ass when he needed to
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: have his ass ripped. I mean to have a rookie
• 36:41
  Speaker 2: step up in that moment and said we got to
• 36:43
  Speaker 2: be better than that.
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: Ah. I mean, there wasn't anything not to like about
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: number three this year, and I cannot wait to see
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: his career unfolded.
• 36:50
  Speaker 3: Well Greg and Ian and everybody that was following the
• 36:53
  Speaker 3: training camp situation.
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: It was like, the guy just looks different when he's
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: out there.
• 36:57
  Speaker 3: It was kind of like how you talked about DK
• 36:59
  Speaker 3: Metcalf on the other side of the ball, like you're
• 37:01
  Speaker 3: just different when he's out there. And yet it wasn't
• 37:03
  Speaker 3: like they were throwing him in there and just hoping that.
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: He can maybe pick up this, that or the other.
• 37:08
  Speaker 3: It was like, here you go, dude, you're gonna be
• 37:10
  Speaker 3: a piece of this thing moving forward. And yeah, when
• 37:12
  Speaker 3: he was healthy and out there playing, he was a
• 37:14
  Speaker 3: guy that you had to think about.
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: Nine o'clock hour coming up.
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: We have more to discuss and more of the table
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: to set for you.
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: Our master of ceremonies is here. Maybe we'll even chat
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: with Ian.
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: Greg Bell is still standing down there, so we might
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: as well chat with him some more.
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: We're gonna get you ready.
• 37:32
  Speaker 2: The ceremony start ten o'clock right down the street there
