- 1:24Speaker 2: Oh, let's see d.
- 1:28Speaker 3: Duh.
- 1:29Speaker 2: Most valuable player, Yeah, Christian McCaffrey. Really, he had twelve

- 1:37Speaker 2: we'll get let's go go to the game on Sunday
- 1:40Speaker 2: noon game for the Kraken. If you're going to the game,
- 1:42Speaker 2: drive fast, get out there. So when I'm done with
- 1:44Speaker 2: the pregame postgame show, I want to get in my
- 1:45Speaker 2: car and go.
- 1:46Speaker 4: The fastest post game ever, Oh.
- 1:48Speaker 2: No, fastest post game ever was last Saturday. We got
- 1:53Speaker 2: all our breaks in, we got everything done that we
- 1:54Speaker 2: needed to get done. But yeah, it was a pretty
- 1:57Speaker 2: fast post game show. But yeah, that's that. At Sunday
- 2:01Speaker 2: at three point thirty, we will have that game for you,
- 2:03Speaker 2: and I believe the great Kevin Harlan is on the call.
- 2:06Speaker 4: Correct.
- 2:08Speaker 2: Doesn't get better than that. You'll know where the ball is,
- 2:12Speaker 2: You'll know down in distance, you'll know who caught the ball,
- 2:16Speaker 2: all the things that are basic play by play one
- 2:18Speaker 2: on one, you'll know all those things. Would be awesome.
- 2:23Speaker 2: Can't wait. You need to help your guy. Okay, help
- 2:28Speaker 2: your guy. Just knows what I'm talking about. Not here locally,
- 2:32Speaker 2: so it's elsewhere. It's elsewhere. Okay. I digress Cormus Smith
- 2:37Speaker 2: joining us at one twenty Seawk News. Let's get to
- 2:40Speaker 2: that real quick. And I've got a really cool Jeff
- 2:43Speaker 2: and I were watching the press conference with Cooper Cup
- 2:45Speaker 2: and we got a just a kind of a two
- 2:47Speaker 2: and a half minutes of Cooper Cup just to play. Yep,
- 2:50Speaker 2: that was really good. Like I would just my term
- 2:55Speaker 2: for Cooper Cup would be selfless, like just kind of
- 2:59Speaker 2: check the e go at the door. One of the best.
- 3:02Speaker 2: I mean, he's a Hall of Famer, but they checked
- 3:04Speaker 2: the ego at the door, and he came to Seattle
- 3:05Speaker 2: this season and just a team centric guy. And you'll
- 3:08Speaker 2: hear why and how. You'll want to hear this from him.
- 3:11Speaker 2: In a second. Let's get to the news, though, the
- 3:13Speaker 2: bigger news, and we'll talk about this more with Corbyn.
- 3:17Speaker 2: I think there's a lot of stress and I get
- 3:19Speaker 2: it rightfully, So a lot of stress out there with
- 3:23Speaker 2: you know what's going you know, the injuries and injury
- 3:26Speaker 2: reports and all those things. Mike Vigall says he expects
- 3:30Speaker 2: Charles Cross to play. Didn't practice yesterday. Now it was
- 3:34Speaker 2: even even me who tells you that don't worry about
- 3:37Speaker 2: an injury report on a Wednesday or even a Thursday.
- 3:42Speaker 2: It was a little troubling to look at the injury
- 3:44Speaker 2: report yesterday and see starting left tackle, one, backup left
- 3:50Speaker 2: tackle and backup to the backup left tackle one, two
- 3:53Speaker 2: and three, Cross, Jones, Kite all missing practice. Okay, that's
- 4:01Speaker 2: that's a little bit unnerving. But McDonald kind of lets
- 4:05Speaker 2: he expect Cross to play this week. Jones a little
- 4:08Speaker 2: bit different. Kite I think would be as be ready
- 4:10Speaker 2: to go as well, So we'll see how that goes.
- 4:12Speaker 2: But Jess, yeah, that's that's the concern o'bleak with Donald,
- 4:17Speaker 2: I don't think is a problem. They're managing it and
- 4:19Speaker 2: all that, and what would what would it be like
- 4:21Speaker 2: this week if you didn't have a little bit of drama,
- 4:23Speaker 2: a little bit of intrigue with injuries and all those
- 4:25Speaker 2: types of things.
- 4:26Speaker 5: Yeah, And and Mike McDonald did say that they have
- 4:28Speaker 5: a plan because he was asked about in his press
- 4:31Speaker 5: conference whether they thought about moving Gray's abel there. Yeah,
- 4:34Speaker 5: and he was like, I'm not going to say what
- 4:35Speaker 5: we're going to do, but we have a plan.
- 4:37Speaker 4: I don't think so, But he was being.
- 4:40Speaker 2: Your concern is honestly not it's not cross your concern,
- 4:43Speaker 2: as are the two backups. You know, Mark Kites, an
- 4:47Speaker 2: undrafted free agent who you know gave them enough to
- 4:51Speaker 2: keep him around all year. Good for him, good story there,
- 4:55Speaker 2: but you don't want to have to play him. But
- 4:56Speaker 2: then the other the other one would be, uh, you know,
- 4:59Speaker 2: you we need Jones like he's been a really really
- 5:03Speaker 2: great backup swing tackle and gives you a lot. It'd
- 5:06Speaker 2: be nice if he's healthy. But we'll see. But it
- 5:08Speaker 2: sounds like just from what McDonald said, he's gonna play
- 5:11Speaker 2: across is that that is and so we'll we'll go
- 5:13Speaker 2: as he saw some video yesterday from somebody else Nico
- 5:16Speaker 2: or or my guys at Fox or King wherever. It
- 5:19Speaker 2: was one of the three stations of How Sports, Kyro,
- 5:22Speaker 2: I'm talking to you because you don't but the other three.
- 5:25Speaker 2: I saw him jogging on the field like we're fine, okay.
- 5:29Speaker 2: I wanted to play this before we get to Corbyn.
- 5:31Speaker 2: I just think this was a really cool thing from
- 5:33Speaker 2: Cooper Cup. He came in here this season, he didn't
- 5:37Speaker 2: have the season statistically that certainly that he would probably want.
- 5:41Speaker 2: I get that. I mean, I think we all kind
- 5:43Speaker 2: of look at Cooper Cup and maybe we're expecting a
- 5:46Speaker 2: little bit more, uh in terms of what he was
- 5:48Speaker 2: doing and and and you know who he was going
- 5:50Speaker 2: to be. But I think with Cooper Cupp the in
- 5:53Speaker 2: tangibles and I just go back to when he first
- 5:56Speaker 2: got here in the spring and talking to guys like
- 5:58Speaker 2: Jake Bobo and other players about what he was like
- 6:02Speaker 2: in terms of a leadership, how he set the tone
- 6:05Speaker 2: for those receivers.
- 6:07Speaker 3: I talked.
- 6:07Speaker 2: I think I talked to JSN about that in the spring.
- 6:10Speaker 2: I don't think it was the summers in the spring.
- 6:12Speaker 2: I know, I talked to Jake Bobbo about it. Just
- 6:15Speaker 2: this guy was Cody White. We talked to him like
- 6:17Speaker 2: this guy was just a dude, Like Cooper Cup's a dude.
- 6:20Speaker 2: He's a leader in that thing, and he makes every
- 6:22Speaker 2: It's not a coincidence that JSN had the kind of
- 6:25Speaker 2: year he did with Cooper Cup here helping him out,
- 6:29Speaker 2: showing him the way. But here's Cooper Cup talking about,
- 6:32Speaker 2: you know, the year that he had forty seven catches,
- 6:35Speaker 2: five hundred and ninety three yards and a couple of touchdowns.
- 6:37Speaker 2: All right, that's the end of the day. I'm okay,
- 6:40Speaker 2: go ahead, that's the year he had.
- 6:42Speaker 6: Look at the end of the day, I'm going to
- 6:43Speaker 6: go out there next to you what's asked to me.
- 6:44Speaker 6: I mean, I can certainly have as anyone would. Everyone
- 6:48Speaker 6: wants to come in here and have fifteen hundred yards
- 6:50Speaker 6: in a year, Everyone wants to score ten touchdowns. It's
- 6:53Speaker 6: just you know, you want the ball in your hands.
- 6:57Speaker 6: But ultimately, my job is to do what that play
- 7:00Speaker 6: call says to do and to execute that to the
- 7:01Speaker 6: best of my possible ability. And you know, I've taken
- 7:05Speaker 6: a lot of pride in that and and be an
- 7:08Speaker 6: asset for for the coaches and being a tool when
- 7:12Speaker 6: I'm seeing in these chairs of these guys, being someone
- 7:14Speaker 6: that when coaches want to get something done with us
- 7:17Speaker 6: in the past, game, the run, game, the screen, it,
- 7:18Speaker 6: whatever it is.
- 7:20Speaker 7: Be able to excute your job.
- 7:21Speaker 6: And so no, like I would say, no, it's not,
- 7:24Speaker 6: it hasn't gone production what you know, Like everyone comes
- 7:27Speaker 6: in hopes that it's going to be, but it has
- 7:30Speaker 6: been just for the success that we have had and
- 7:32Speaker 6: what we've been able to do here, that has been
- 7:34Speaker 6: the vision. And so I'm I'm I've been extact to
- 7:37Speaker 6: be a part of it, to come in here every
- 7:39Speaker 6: single day and be a part of working towards that goal.
- 7:42Speaker 7: It's been exactly where I wanted to be signed here.
- 7:45Speaker 2: Did you envision the potential of this game going against
- 7:48Speaker 2: your former team?
- 7:50Speaker 7: You know, I mean you take things, you take things
- 7:52Speaker 7: one day at a time.
- 7:53Speaker 6: But you know, for my own I mean, I've I've
- 7:56Speaker 6: touched on this a little bit, but I mean we
- 7:57Speaker 6: all have a story. All these guys here that are
- 7:59Speaker 6: step on this field, they've all had a story to
- 8:00Speaker 6: get them to this point. They've all had a journey
- 8:02Speaker 6: of what this year has been, from what the last
- 8:04Speaker 6: few years have been to come to this point. Mine
- 8:07Speaker 6: is just one of fifty fifty three that are going
- 8:09Speaker 6: to be on that field. And in my story, this
- 8:12Speaker 6: is an unbelievable storyline. The chances that this ends up
- 8:15Speaker 6: being what it is and I'm really excited about that.
- 8:18Speaker 7: But this is the Seahawks going.
- 8:21Speaker 6: Into a Nancy championship game and trying to get the
- 8:23Speaker 6: job done. And so that's the great thing about football.
- 8:26Speaker 6: It's all these guys. All these guys have different stories
- 8:28Speaker 6: and we all get to play for one another, and
- 8:32Speaker 6: it's it's it's a powerful thing when all fifty guys
- 8:35Speaker 6: are playing for a while, playing for their purpose. But
- 8:38Speaker 6: it's even more powerful when you're playing for the guys
- 8:40Speaker 6: next to you, and you're playing for the people that
- 8:41Speaker 6: are lining up alongside you. And that's what I'm excited about,
- 8:45Speaker 6: is the guys that are in this room that you
- 8:47Speaker 6: want to go out there and win for, the coaches
- 8:49Speaker 6: that have put so much time into this that you
- 8:51Speaker 6: want to go and execute your job for. And you know,
- 8:55Speaker 6: we've got a lot of guys that live that there
- 8:57Speaker 6: about it, and that's what makes this a really exciting
- 9:00Speaker 6: thing for me.
- 9:03Speaker 2: I don't know how you can't just love the guy.
- 9:05Speaker 2: I mean, I loved him when he came here because
- 9:07Speaker 2: I thought all that stuff I just heard, we would
- 9:10Speaker 2: know that he's doing behind the scenes, and maybe, just maybe,
- 9:15Speaker 2: you know, we were joking last week the guys I
- 9:18Speaker 2: was watching it with playoff Cooper Cup can be a
- 9:21Speaker 2: different beast as well. He led Seattle and he had
- 9:24Speaker 2: five catches on five targets for sixty yards last week,
- 9:27Speaker 2: and Jasn had a very quiet week, three catches nineteen
- 9:30Speaker 2: yards total. One of those catches for eleven yards, so
- 9:33Speaker 2: the other two catches combined for eight yards. For JSN,
- 9:36Speaker 2: he didn't do much. That's a guy that's an All pro.
- 9:40Speaker 2: Had the best year. He and Puka had the best
- 9:42Speaker 2: years of any receiver in the NFL, and he didn't
- 9:45Speaker 2: do much. Well, you still you keep getting playoff Cooper
- 9:48Speaker 2: Cup and then you add in a little JSN sprinkled in.
- 9:51Speaker 2: There be a tough day for the Rams, probably, But
- 9:54Speaker 2: I just I thought that was a good little snippet
- 9:57Speaker 2: to play of Cooper Cup and who and what he
- 9:59Speaker 2: is all all about this year. It's pretty awesome. All right.
- 10:02Speaker 2: We'll take a break our guy Corbn Smith Emerald c Spectrum.
- 10:06Speaker 2: We'll talk all rams, all Seahawks, all the time. He'll
- 10:09Speaker 2: join us. Coming up next, It's time.

- 10:49Speaker 1: Corbyn Smith is here, he's with us.
- 10:51Speaker 2: He's ready to rock and roll, ladies and gentlemen, boys
- 10:54Speaker 2: and girls. We've got a lot to talk about. Hopefully
- 10:57Speaker 2: a little calmer than last week when I had Core
- 11:00Speaker 2: but on and about exactly seven days ago to the
- 11:03Speaker 2: minute I come on, I'm like, hey, I's I'm talking
- 11:06Speaker 2: Seahawks forty nine ers and Kern goes, well, the oblique.
- 11:09Speaker 2: We got an oblique. I'm like, what what anyway, little
- 11:12Speaker 2: calmer this week, Darnald, they're just managing him during the week.
- 11:15Speaker 2: We'll get to Cross in a second. But first of all,
- 11:17Speaker 2: my friend, how are you.
- 11:20Speaker 8: I'm great, Thanks for having me as always, and I
- 11:22Speaker 8: don't have any earth shattering injury developments to drop on
- 11:27Speaker 8: you this time.
- 11:28Speaker 2: That's good that we're fine. Okay, we're okay with that.
- 11:31Speaker 2: We're all good with that. That's all we need. We
- 11:34Speaker 2: don't need to worry about anything else, all right, we
- 11:35Speaker 2: don't need any of that stuff going on. Let me
- 11:39Speaker 2: get to me. Let me start with the Cross situation,
- 11:42Speaker 2: because that is an interesting dynamic taking place right now.
- 11:46Speaker 2: Mike McDonald said just a short time ago, you expect
- 11:49Speaker 2: him to play. They're just going to manage him during
- 11:51Speaker 2: the week. He did play last week. I think I'm
- 11:53Speaker 2: a little more concerned with the depth behind him, to
- 11:55Speaker 2: be honest with you, Corbyn, because Jones is still kind
- 11:58Speaker 2: of an iffy and sorry Kite apparently didn't practice yesterday either,
- 12:02Speaker 2: So in my nuts, I'm not as worried about Cross
- 12:05Speaker 2: as I'm worried about who's behind Cross right now.
- 12:08Speaker 8: No, I think what you're saying is the one hundred
- 12:10Speaker 8: percent warranted, because it seems like the Cross situation is
- 12:14Speaker 8: more of just well he's gonna play. We're just you know,
- 12:17Speaker 8: we're not worried if he doesn't get as many reps
- 12:19Speaker 8: during the week. We're just gonna make sure he's ready
- 12:20Speaker 8: for Sunday. He's an experienced vet. He knows what he's doing.
- 12:23Speaker 8: He's gonna be ready to go on Sunday. But you're
- 12:26Speaker 8: left wondering, you know what if one of those injuries
- 12:29Speaker 8: he's been dealing with gets worse during the game, or he,
- 12:32Speaker 8: you know, God forbid, suffers something else, where are you
- 12:36Speaker 8: going to turn Because Josh Jones is still not practicing.
- 12:39Speaker 8: His knee has been troublesome. Sense he started those three
- 12:43Speaker 8: games at the end of the season. At the end
- 12:44Speaker 8: of it he ended up gutting it out, but he's
- 12:46Speaker 8: clearly not one hundred percent. And now Marii Kay, who
- 12:49Speaker 8: played pretty well in his first extended experience in a
- 12:53Speaker 8: playoff game on Saturday, apparently his knees banged up and
- 12:57Speaker 8: McDonald's calling him both day to day. At the end
- 13:00Speaker 8: of the day, I don't know that it's that pressing
- 13:02Speaker 8: because it seems like you're gonna have at least two
- 13:05Speaker 8: of those guys and it should be in good shape
- 13:07Speaker 8: by Sunday, if not all three of them. But seeing
- 13:10Speaker 8: all of them being out obviously raised red flags yesterday.
- 13:15Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 13:15Speaker 2: I think that's the thing. It's if it happens, it happens, right,
- 13:18Speaker 2: I mean, like you expect Cross to play and finish
- 13:21Speaker 2: and all those things, but it's awful thin behind them,
- 13:24Speaker 2: and you know, Jones has been such a valuable piece,
- 13:27Speaker 2: and it's such a valuable piece for them when especially
- 13:29Speaker 2: when Cross was out. But we'll assume that. I don't
- 13:32Speaker 2: know KORbin. This time of the year, when you know
- 13:34Speaker 2: everyone's dinged up, everyone's banged up, and if you can play,
- 13:38Speaker 2: you will. There's no doubt about that. No one's one
- 13:41Speaker 2: hundred percent. I just that's the one that's that's my
- 13:43Speaker 2: only injured conser. I'm not worried about the Sam Darld thing.
- 13:46Speaker 2: And I mean I've never seen anything like it. The
- 13:49Speaker 2: the scrutinizing of every warm up throw. Once he finally
- 13:53Speaker 2: came out last week walk us through that that was wild,
- 13:55Speaker 2: wasn't it Like Sam Wendsley coming out? When's he coming
- 13:58Speaker 2: out and then it comes out, it's like, okay, his
- 14:00Speaker 2: first throw looked okay, so you know and all that.
- 14:03Speaker 8: Oh, I was one of the call forrits, but like, look,
- 14:05Speaker 8: that's my job, you know, My job is to be
- 14:08Speaker 8: assessing stuff like that. And honestly, when he was not
- 14:12Speaker 8: out there at the very end of the pre great
- 14:15Speaker 8: pregame warm ups when they are getting ready to go
- 14:18Speaker 8: in and put their pads on, and he had not
- 14:20Speaker 8: made any throws at that point, I didn't find it
- 14:23Speaker 8: that weird. I know a lot of other reporters like,
- 14:25Speaker 8: oh my god, there's a huge deal, and I'm like, yeah,
- 14:27Speaker 8: he's still that out there, but he's I thought there
- 14:31Speaker 8: was a chance he was thrown inside, and that's sure
- 14:33Speaker 8: enough exactly what Darnold said he was doing when he
- 14:35Speaker 8: was throwing inside the locker room of all places. So
- 14:39Speaker 8: he was still getting some pregame work in, but they
- 14:41Speaker 8: were doing an abbreviated version that was away away from
- 14:46Speaker 8: the eyes, which may have been done by design there.
- 14:49Speaker 8: But it almost felt like Anchorman was panned to watch,
- 14:54Speaker 8: just like just sitting there, just waiting, like waiting for
- 14:58Speaker 8: the waiting for this pan to have a baby. I'm
- 15:00Speaker 8: waiting for Sam Darnold to throw a pass out here.
- 15:02Speaker 8: But I thought he looked really good when he threw
- 15:06Speaker 8: the football in that game. He didn't look like I
- 15:07Speaker 8: mean I'm sure he had some discomfort, but he didn't
- 15:09Speaker 8: look like it when he was throwing the football. And
- 15:12Speaker 8: that touchdown he threw the JSN was as good of
- 15:14Speaker 8: a pass as he's had all year.
- 15:16Speaker 2: I mean he was not open.
- 15:17Speaker 8: He threw him open there in the back corner of
- 15:20Speaker 8: that end zone with an absolute bullet. So I'm not
- 15:24Speaker 8: concerned at all at this point that Sam's going to
- 15:26Speaker 8: be good to go for Sunday and he's gonna be
- 15:29Speaker 8: ready to make the plays and ease to make for
- 15:31Speaker 8: the Seahawks to potentially punch a ticket to the Super Bowl.
- 15:35Speaker 2: Yeah, I would agree with you, and I think, listen,
- 15:37Speaker 2: I gave you a hard time, but I've been down
- 15:40Speaker 2: that road. You know, I remember when it was in
- 15:44Speaker 2: In fact, it was in it was in LA in
- 15:46Speaker 2: the Coliseum years ago when the Rams might in the
- 15:49Speaker 2: second year, first or second year they moved there. But
- 15:52Speaker 2: if you remember, Russ Russell Wilson rolled his ankle against
- 15:56Speaker 2: Miami in the first game, got rolled up on yep
- 15:59Speaker 2: and and Russell was going to come out, and you know,
- 16:01Speaker 2: Russ never missed a snap in his life, never missed
- 16:04Speaker 2: a game. All these things. It was the guy was
- 16:06Speaker 2: unbreakable and we're down there pregame on the field the
- 16:09Speaker 2: LA Coliseum and it was a key game, like it
- 16:12Speaker 2: was like early in the year, but you needed like
- 16:14Speaker 2: that was it was the Rams and you're in LA
- 16:16Speaker 2: and he took forever to come out, and he and
- 16:20Speaker 2: when he did finally did come out, he had both
- 16:21Speaker 2: ankles wrapped exactly the same he did it later in
- 16:24Speaker 2: the year when he was banged up and they were
- 16:26Speaker 2: playing in Arizona, and I remember talking to a Seahawks
- 16:29Speaker 2: staffer and I said, he's okay, and like because he
- 16:31Speaker 2: hadn't come out, because like he had a routine. I
- 16:33Speaker 2: knew Russ's routine like the back of my hand, and
- 16:35Speaker 2: we were doing our we do our pregame stuff, and
- 16:37Speaker 2: I knew exactly when he's going to come out, exactly
- 16:39Speaker 2: what he's going to do, where he's going to do it,
- 16:41Speaker 2: how it worked, what time, all those things, and it
- 16:43Speaker 2: was off. And the Arizona game was really crazy because
- 16:46Speaker 2: we were wondering if he was even going to a dress.
- 16:48Speaker 2: And I think both those times they had what's his face?
- 16:50Speaker 2: Boykin was the backup and like that's the last thing
- 16:52Speaker 2: they want to do is play him and even in
- 16:54Speaker 2: a regular season game. So when guys get out of
- 16:56Speaker 2: their routine, it's a story. But like in the case
- 17:00Speaker 2: of Russ, he was getting treatment, probably pretty sure, he's
- 17:03Speaker 2: probably getting shot whatever, you know, I mean, you're doing
- 17:06Speaker 2: whatever you can. It takes a little while, and so
- 17:08Speaker 2: he throws you off. And when when mister Oblique came out,
- 17:13Speaker 2: it was what it was wild though I was I
- 17:15Speaker 2: had a hockey game, but I'm following along with all
- 17:17Speaker 2: you guys, and it's like, all right, there's the first
- 17:19Speaker 2: real good boom boom boom. The bottom line is this.
- 17:23Speaker 2: The bottom line is this. He's He's okay, he's fine.
- 17:26Speaker 2: We move on from that, and now we worry about
- 17:28Speaker 2: the la Rams And as we jump into deep with
- 17:30Speaker 2: this with Corbin Smith and emeraltcy Spectrum brought to Buy
- 17:32Speaker 2: sold by Jim dot Com two ms Corbyn, Are these
- 17:35Speaker 2: the two best teams left in the NFL? Right now?
- 17:38Speaker 3: They are?
- 17:39Speaker 8: And I think that it's been known for a while
- 17:41Speaker 8: that these are the two best teams, And it just
- 17:43Speaker 8: seemed inevitable that Week sixteen game, like these two teams
- 17:46Speaker 8: are going to meet up again, and Carolina almost made it.
- 17:49Speaker 8: That wasn't the case. But you know, the Rams found
- 17:52Speaker 8: a way to win. And that's what these two teams
- 17:54Speaker 8: have done. Even when they don't play at their very best,
- 17:57Speaker 8: they find ways to win. And I think that they
- 18:00Speaker 8: are very evenly matched. I think they do a lot
- 18:03Speaker 8: of things similarly similarly in terms of being great at
- 18:08Speaker 8: you know, they take their shots downfield. I think they're
- 18:10Speaker 8: both they both developed into really solid rushing football teams
- 18:15Speaker 8: and defensively the Rams that had their lulls in the
- 18:18Speaker 8: second half of the season, but they've got a pass rush,
- 18:21Speaker 8: they can get after it. They are opportunistic creating turnovers.
- 18:24Speaker 8: They will mix and match their blitzes with second level guys.
- 18:28Speaker 8: There's a lot of similarity similarity. They don't do everything
- 18:31Speaker 8: the same. They have schematic differences on both sides of
- 18:34Speaker 8: the ball, but they're they're very evenly matched teams. So
- 18:37Speaker 8: this felt like this was going to be either a
- 18:40Speaker 8: divisional round or championship round rematch, and sure enough we've
- 18:44Speaker 8: got it.
- 18:45Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm talking to guys this week and you know,
- 18:48Speaker 2: like doing this same thing that you're doing with me.
- 18:50Speaker 2: I do it for people all across the country, and
- 18:51Speaker 2: everyone's asking all this this and this and let me
- 18:54Speaker 2: go with this, what is the weakness for the La
- 18:57Speaker 2: Rams that Seattle can take advantage of.
- 19:00Speaker 8: The explosive plays downfield. I still think their cornerback group,
- 19:04Speaker 8: in particular the safeties. The safeties are okay, they can
- 19:08Speaker 8: cause some problems. We saw Cam Curle get that big
- 19:10Speaker 8: pick in overtime. Cameron Kinsins, for whatever reason, has been
- 19:14Speaker 8: an All Pro every time he plays the Seahawks, just
- 19:17Speaker 8: plays out of his mind. I mean, they got guys
- 19:18Speaker 8: that can ballhawk at the safety positions, but their corners
- 19:22Speaker 8: are very beatable. And you look back at the Week
- 19:25Speaker 8: eleven matchup that that Seahawks lost in LA. That was
- 19:28Speaker 8: shortly after Rashid Shahi had got the town and I
- 19:30Speaker 8: think he and Sam Darnald were still trying to figure
- 19:33Speaker 8: things out. Donald had a shirtfire touchdown that he just
- 19:36Speaker 8: underthrew to him on a deep ball. Jackson Smith and
- 19:39Speaker 8: Jigba had some big plays in both games between these teams.
- 19:42Speaker 8: I think that is the biggest weakness with this team.
- 19:45Speaker 8: Now you have to give Sam Darnald time to be
- 19:47Speaker 8: able to take advantage of it. The pass rush up
- 19:49Speaker 8: front can be fierce for the Rams, but if you're
- 19:53Speaker 8: able to get him some time to throw the football downfield.
- 19:57Speaker 8: This is a secondary that is right for big play.
- 20:00Speaker 8: He's particularly on double moves. They're very aggressive early on
- 20:03Speaker 8: in the phasing and coverage to try to jump passes.
- 20:07Speaker 8: If you can get some time and catch them mapping
- 20:10Speaker 8: or get them too aggressive and then they get caught
- 20:12Speaker 8: out of position, you can beat them with big plays downfield.
- 20:16Speaker 2: Let's talk about Jackson Smith and Jigba for a second.
- 20:21Speaker 2: Some of the production, at least in terms of volume
- 20:23Speaker 2: in yards, has dropped off in the last four weeks,
- 20:28Speaker 2: maybe even going back to the Minnesota game. But you know,
- 20:31Speaker 2: he had one hundred and thirteen yards against Indianapolis, ninety
- 20:34Speaker 2: six against the Rams, but albeit that was an overtime
- 20:37Speaker 2: game where they fell behind they had to chuck it,
- 20:39Speaker 2: seventy two against Carolina, did have eighty four against the
- 20:42Speaker 2: nordy As last game, but just nineteen last week. I
- 20:45Speaker 2: don't know, to me, they've he's had two touchdowns in
- 20:48Speaker 2: the last six weeks. JSN. They're gonna need more from him,
- 20:53Speaker 2: and I'm wondering, are you seeing anything in terms of
- 20:56Speaker 2: what teams are doing to take him away from the offense,
- 20:58Speaker 2: And if so, then obviously we get playoff Cooper Cup
- 21:01Speaker 2: sixty yards. Last week we get Rashichi heat you just
- 21:04Speaker 2: talked about as well. But what are you seeing with JSN.
- 21:08Speaker 8: Yeah, I think you're seeing teams they're just being more
- 21:10Speaker 8: cognizant about having a second defender that's shadowing or bracketing
- 21:14Speaker 8: on him. And I also think the way that the
- 21:17Speaker 8: games have unfolded with the run game, it's just taken
- 21:21Speaker 8: away the number of passes that Sam Darnold has had
- 21:24Speaker 8: its throw. I mean, he through seventeen passes on Saturday night.
- 21:27Speaker 8: So it's not like they're getting a lot of opportunities
- 21:30Speaker 8: to get the ball to their receivers right now. They're
- 21:34Speaker 8: doing a lot of quick throws, a lot of short screens,
- 21:39Speaker 8: things of that nature, and the run game has just
- 21:41Speaker 8: been so effective that they haven't had to take those shots.
- 21:45Speaker 8: But what you're hoping to see is that they're going
- 21:47Speaker 8: to get that run game rolling again on Sunday and
- 21:50Speaker 8: they're going to find some ways to pick and you know,
- 21:55Speaker 8: pick and batch when they are going to take those
- 21:58Speaker 8: explosive opportunities downfield. Because again, you know, the forty nine ers,
- 22:02Speaker 8: they've done a fairly decent job of not giving up
- 22:05Speaker 8: those deep balls downfield. The Rams have been susceptible in
- 22:09Speaker 8: that regard. So I just I feel like this is
- 22:12Speaker 8: a game that you look at JSN has had. He
- 22:14Speaker 8: had pretty good games both games against the Rams. I'm
- 22:18Speaker 8: I'm expecting that he's gonna get a lot more opportunities
- 22:21Speaker 8: than what he did, and I think Sam Darnold is
- 22:23Speaker 8: I don't necessarily know he's gonna need to throw thirty times.
- 22:26Speaker 8: In fact, I would say that would be a bad
- 22:27Speaker 8: moment if they have to have him throw them many times.
- 22:29Speaker 8: But I would expect he's gonna throw the ball more
- 22:31Speaker 8: than seventeen times, and they're gonna be just more opportunities
- 22:35Speaker 8: for JSN to be able to make plays.
- 22:38Speaker 2: What does Cooper Cup meant to this team?
- 22:42Speaker 8: He has been invaluable ian and I know people are
- 22:45Speaker 8: gonna look at if you know, if you look at
- 22:46Speaker 8: traditional stats, he's he's not the thousand yard receiver anymore.
- 22:50Speaker 8: He's not the one hundred reception plus guy anymore. But
- 22:54Speaker 8: Mike McDonald hit the hammer on the nail. He shows
- 22:56Speaker 8: up in high leverage situations as the pass catcher, and
- 22:59Speaker 8: he had that twenty four yard catch on the game
- 23:01Speaker 8: winning drive and overtime against the Rams in that last matchup,
- 23:06Speaker 8: and he just always seems to show up in big moments.
- 23:08Speaker 8: He's a He's a key third down pass catcher that
- 23:12Speaker 8: knows how to find an empty space in the coverage
- 23:17Speaker 8: just past the sticks to be able to create He
- 23:19Speaker 8: had that twenty one yard catch last week on second
- 23:21Speaker 8: and twenty. He just quietly makes those catches.
- 23:24Speaker 2: And then in a run game.
- 23:26Speaker 8: I still think he is the best run blocking wide
- 23:28Speaker 8: receiver in the NFL. I think the guy. You know,
- 23:31Speaker 8: if you're looking for teaching tape for receivers on how
- 23:33Speaker 8: to get after it, put on Cooper Cup tape. The
- 23:36Speaker 8: guy is just fantastic. You can tell how much pride
- 23:40Speaker 8: he takes in those reps as a run blocker, and
- 23:43Speaker 8: it really I think it's infectious for the entire rest
- 23:46Speaker 8: of the offense when you see a guy like that
- 23:48Speaker 8: getting after it. No other receiver wants to see him
- 23:51Speaker 8: doing that and then go out there and fail as
- 23:54Speaker 8: a run blocker, Like that's the last thing you want
- 23:57Speaker 8: as a teammate. So I think that it is really
- 24:00Speaker 8: permeated that entire receiver room, in the tight end room,
- 24:02Speaker 8: like we're going to get after his blockers. That's a
- 24:04Speaker 8: big reason this run game has really taken off the
- 24:07Speaker 8: last month and change.
- 24:08Speaker 2: Well, I just I'll just go back to what you said, reiterate.
- 24:11Speaker 2: I agree, we put some sound from him in the
- 24:12Speaker 2: first segment today and what you know, what he's meant
- 24:15Speaker 2: to that locker room, the team and everything like that.
- 24:17Speaker 2: But the high leverage part of it, you know, I
- 24:19Speaker 2: mean you mentioned it. He didn't have a huge number
- 24:22Speaker 2: statistically this season, even though he played in sixteen of
- 24:26Speaker 2: the seventeen games, he had forty seven catches. But in
- 24:30Speaker 2: of those forty seven catches Corbyn twenty six of the
- 24:33Speaker 2: forty seven went for a first down. Like so, I
- 24:37Speaker 2: mean more than half of his catches for catches for
- 24:40Speaker 2: first down. And it's not like they were like stretching
- 24:42Speaker 2: the field first downs. It was probably this third and
- 24:44Speaker 2: six he got eight, right, Like, that's what he does.
- 24:47Speaker 2: That's that's who Cooper cup is.
- 24:50Speaker 8: That is what he is, and especially at this point
- 24:52Speaker 8: in his career. But he has made some big plays downfield,
- 24:56Speaker 8: like I mentioned that twenty one yard catching the corner
- 24:58Speaker 8: round of second and twenty on Saturday night, Like he'll
- 25:01Speaker 8: he'll sneak up on you occasionally and make a big
- 25:04Speaker 8: playdown field. So not a guy that's gonna win on verticals,
- 25:08Speaker 8: but he can find ways on posts and corner routes
- 25:10Speaker 8: and he can create some after the catch. I think
- 25:12Speaker 8: that's the other thing that's underrated in his game is
- 25:14Speaker 8: his ability to be able to power through tackles or
- 25:18Speaker 8: drag guys a little bit and get some extra yardage.
- 25:20Speaker 8: And he's a fighter and he's been that way his
- 25:22Speaker 8: entire NFL career. So I just think it rubs off
- 25:25Speaker 8: on the entire offense when he starts making plays like that,
- 25:29Speaker 8: and his ability to really get after it in the
- 25:32Speaker 8: run game, and I, you know, I there's not a
- 25:35Speaker 8: lot of receivers. I can say that I want to
- 25:37Speaker 8: turn the film on just to watch them block Cooper Cup.
- 25:41Speaker 2: Is that guy? Corbus Smith Emerald City Spectrum brought to
- 25:44Speaker 2: you by Sold by Jim, Sold by Jim with two
- 25:47Speaker 2: MS dot com. For all your real estate needs, go
- 25:49Speaker 2: to sold by Jim at two MS dot com. All right, Corbyn, Uh,
- 25:54Speaker 2: the injury to Zach sharbon a while brutal for him personally,
- 25:59Speaker 2: longer term issues which we'll get to whenever the season's over,
- 26:02Speaker 2: about what you do with Ken Walker. Now maybe he's
- 26:04Speaker 2: more of a priority to resign, et cetera, et cetera.
- 26:07Speaker 2: I love Rob rang On Tomorrow, by the way, your
- 26:09Speaker 2: buddy will talk about draft and running backs. But oh,
- 26:13Speaker 2: by the way, we'll go back to training camp, go
- 26:15Speaker 2: back to Mini caamp training camp. There's a guy by
- 26:19Speaker 2: the name of George Hollane who's been out for a
- 26:21Speaker 2: while with an injury. I mentioned this on the show yesterday.
- 26:24Speaker 2: I think since he got here in Seattle undrafted, all
- 26:28Speaker 2: that the president of the George Hallane fan club has
- 26:30Speaker 2: been my friend Corbyn Smith and you and you've been
- 26:35Speaker 2: telling me and anybody else who will listen or who
- 26:37Speaker 2: didn't even want to listen, that George Hallane can be
- 26:40Speaker 2: a dude. And I remember going into training camp thinking
- 26:43Speaker 2: this year's thinking he's going to be in for a
- 26:45Speaker 2: tough I think, Damien Martinez, he's gonna have a real
- 26:47Speaker 2: good chance to make this football team. We liked how
- 26:49Speaker 2: he ran wasn't even close. Halani was the guy. He
- 26:53Speaker 2: comes back this week, we're expecting to see him ready
- 26:55Speaker 2: to go. What does Halane do for this team? And yes, no,
- 26:58Speaker 2: Charbonnay is not good, but getting Halani back is good.
- 27:03Speaker 8: It is good because I look, this is not taking
- 27:06Speaker 8: a shot at Zak Charbona at all, because I think
- 27:08Speaker 8: sharbon has been playing really good football and I think
- 27:10Speaker 8: he's an excellent player. I just I think George Hallani
- 27:14Speaker 8: is not that much. I mean, I don't think there's
- 27:16Speaker 8: much of a gap in terms of overall talent between
- 27:18Speaker 8: these two guys. Out They're a little different stylistically. Halani's
- 27:22Speaker 8: not going to bulldoze over guys the way that sharbon
- 27:25Speaker 8: A does sometimes. But he can run with power. I mean,
- 27:27Speaker 8: he's got some behind that two hundred and ten pound frame.
- 27:30Speaker 8: He's forced five missed tackles on twenty two carries this year,
- 27:34Speaker 8: and Quint Kobiak was really starting to trust him enough
- 27:38Speaker 8: that he was really playing all three of these backs
- 27:41Speaker 8: before he got banged up with that hamstring injury. He's
- 27:43Speaker 8: getting more opportunities. Had a rushing touchdown against the Cardinals.
- 27:47Speaker 8: He's he's got some jitterbug to win. He's not the
- 27:50Speaker 8: most explosive back, but he's got a lot of bursts.
- 27:53Speaker 8: I actually see a lot of Thomas Rawls in his
- 27:55Speaker 8: game in the sense that he's he's kind of got that.
- 27:59Speaker 8: It seems like he's a runner that's got the ability
- 28:02Speaker 8: to spontaneously combust at any point and be able to
- 28:06Speaker 8: just rip off a big game, and that can come
- 28:09Speaker 8: in the passing game too. He had eighty eight receptions
- 28:11Speaker 8: of Boise State. He's got very soft hands and he's
- 28:14Speaker 8: a very solid pass protector, and I think that's the
- 28:17Speaker 8: biggest thing here. Kausharbone easily was the best pass protecting
- 28:21Speaker 8: back they had. That is an issue in ken Walker's game.
- 28:24Speaker 8: That's probably never going to be an area that's even
- 28:27Speaker 8: average in his game. But George Hallani is a capable
- 28:31Speaker 8: blitz pickup guy. He can catch the football at the backfield.
- 28:34Speaker 8: He's a three down player that can generate some chunk
- 28:37Speaker 8: plays in the run game, and he doesn't. He very
- 28:40Speaker 8: rarely is going to get brought down by the first
- 28:41Speaker 8: guy that tries to tackle him. So I think he
- 28:44Speaker 8: just does a lot of different things. Well maybe he
- 28:47Speaker 8: isn't e leite at one thing, but he has a
- 28:49Speaker 8: very well rounded skill set, which I think makes him
- 28:52Speaker 8: the obvious choice to be the number two guy behind
- 28:55Speaker 8: ken Walker in this game.
- 28:56Speaker 2: And finally with Walker, like we got to see ken
- 28:59Speaker 2: Walker last week, like Charbonney unfortunately gets hurt. They lean
- 29:03Speaker 2: on Walker, They leaned heavy into Walker. I think you
- 29:05Speaker 2: and I have talked about this all year. Ken Walker
- 29:08Speaker 2: can be an absolute nightmare for an opposing defense, and
- 29:11Speaker 2: boy did he run with a passion. I expect to
- 29:14Speaker 2: see that again this week.
- 29:16Speaker 8: You know what I've loved about watching his development in
- 29:19Speaker 8: the second half of the season, Ian, and We've talked
- 29:20Speaker 8: about this a lot of the show, Like the vision
- 29:23Speaker 8: aspect that he eve been mentioned in the press conference
- 29:25Speaker 8: after Saturday's game, Like you can tell that his feel
- 29:29Speaker 8: for the flow that comes with zone run schemes. He's
- 29:33Speaker 8: just kind of had that light switch come on in
- 29:35Speaker 8: the second half of the season and he is feeling
- 29:38Speaker 8: those cutback lanes and when he's acting like a pinball bouncing,
- 29:43Speaker 8: he's doing it more times than not. He's doing it
- 29:45Speaker 8: at the right time.
- 29:46Speaker 3: Now.
- 29:46Speaker 8: He's really making smart decisions with where he's taken the football,
- 29:51Speaker 8: the pass that he's taken, and he's incredibly explosive, and
- 29:54Speaker 8: I just think he is running with he's running with
- 29:57Speaker 8: a chip on his shoulder right now. Hey nine is
- 30:00Speaker 8: playing in a bigger weight class among dogs right now,
- 30:03Speaker 8: Like he's he's just a lot of fun to really,
- 30:06Speaker 8: you know, watch the way he's running with the combination
- 30:08Speaker 8: of improved vision, the power, the explosiveness. The Rams figured
- 30:13Speaker 8: that out with a fifty five yard touchdown that he
- 30:15Speaker 8: had against him in Week sixteen. He's got to have
- 30:18Speaker 8: a big game for the Seahawks to win.
- 30:20Speaker 2: I think, Corbin, next Thursday, are we talking about Super
- 30:23Speaker 2: Bowl and the Seahawks?
- 30:25Speaker 3: What do you think?
- 30:25Speaker 2: What's what's your thoughts on what we're gonna do next Thursday.
- 30:29Speaker 8: Man, I'm still trying to figure out what's gonna happen here.
- 30:32Speaker 8: Mean they one point and one yard has separated these
- 30:35Speaker 8: two teams in the two games combined, like they are
- 30:39Speaker 8: as evenly matched. That comes. I think that if you
- 30:42Speaker 8: played ten games between these teams, they both win five.
- 30:46Speaker 8: I do think playing at Loumanfield gives the Seahawks an
- 30:48Speaker 8: edge because I feel like the bite is back at Wumanfield.
- 30:52Speaker 8: That atmosphere the other night was insane. That was the
- 30:56Speaker 8: loudest it has been in the game that I've covered.
- 30:59Speaker 8: You could feel the earth shaking beneath you in the
- 31:01Speaker 8: press box, especially in receives Heat's touchdown. I think Seattle
- 31:06Speaker 8: gets it done, but I wouldn't be shocked if it's
- 31:08Speaker 8: like another one or two point win, because these two
- 31:11Speaker 8: teams are so evenly matched across the board.
- 31:15Speaker 2: I said, that's the other day I was telling our
- 31:17Speaker 2: audience here, I go, don't expect it to be fun.
- 31:19Speaker 2: It's going to be miserable. It's going to be stressful.

- 31:25Speaker 2: have them all the fun you had last week with
- 31:27Speaker 2: the San Francisco blowout. That ain't happening this week. That

- 33:23Speaker 1: Seattle Kraken with the infernetz.
- 33:28Speaker 2: Alrighty, then let's get to it. We had a quick

- 33:43Speaker 2: Next up the Anaheim Ducks in a very tight Western Conference.
- 33:47Speaker 2: Anaheim sits in third place in the Pacific Division. Seattle
- 33:50Speaker 2: is two points behind Anaheim, but Seattle is sitting in
- 33:54Speaker 2: wild card spot number two right now. This is gonna

- 34:03Speaker 2: as has Seattle. But you win tomorrow, all of a sudden,
- 34:06Speaker 2: you're back in third. Remember, the top three teams in
- 34:08Speaker 2: each division go to the postseason, and then the next
- 34:11Speaker 2: two teams in the conference goes wildcard teams. So Seattle
- 34:14Speaker 2: again number two wildcard team, right now in a playoff position,
- 34:17Speaker 2: but two points behind Anaheim for the third spot in
- 34:21Speaker 2: the Pacific, which you'd rather be in. And oh, by

- 41:04Speaker 2: Now normal life. How can Bruce Irvan normal life? I'm

- 41:11Speaker 2: your story was such a good one. Normal life for
- 41:13Speaker 2: Bruce Irvin, a family man raising kids. Is that a
- 41:16Speaker 2: tough transition for you?
- 41:19Speaker 3: It's definitely more challenging the football, I will say. But
- 41:23Speaker 3: you know, man, it's what you work hard for, you know,
- 41:26Speaker 3: being able to get him to put himself in a
- 41:28Speaker 3: position so you know, when it is all set, it dull.
- 41:31Speaker 3: You know, you have a legacy and you know sort

- 41:44Speaker 2: I'm not sure how close of an eye you're keeping
- 41:46Speaker 2: on your former team, on your Seahawks team, but they're
- 41:49Speaker 2: putting together a heck of a run and a heck
- 41:51Speaker 2: of a defense along the way. What are your thoughts
- 41:54Speaker 2: on this team? What do they call him now? Jess,
- 41:56Speaker 2: it's the is it the dark Side?
- 41:59Speaker 3: Okay?

- 42:02Speaker 2: think of the nickname?
- 42:04Speaker 3: I mean, I like the big name. I like how they,
- 42:07Speaker 3: you know, kind of created their whole name and then
- 42:10Speaker 3: try to do like a leasion of boom two quart
- 42:13Speaker 3: zero or anything like that. You know, So I like it.
- 42:17Speaker 3: I like it a lot.
- 42:18Speaker 2: You I'm trying to think. Did you play with Leonard
- 42:20Speaker 2: Williams a little bit was in one of your tem Okay,
- 42:24Speaker 2: do you play with Jaron Reid?
- 42:25Speaker 3: Right?
- 42:25Speaker 2: You play with Jaren Yeah. I've talked to Jared Bruce
- 42:29Speaker 2: a lot over the last few years, and he talks
- 42:33Speaker 2: quite a bit about he's kind of the alpha male.
- 42:35Speaker 2: He's the dude in there right now, like he you know,
- 42:37Speaker 2: he is the guy running the show and he learned
- 42:40Speaker 2: from all of you guys. What for a player like
- 42:43Speaker 2: yourself and you or Cliff or Michael, especially the guys
- 42:47Speaker 2: up front of the D line. When you see the
- 42:49Speaker 2: young guy Jaron Reid came in here a few years ago,
- 42:51Speaker 2: now it's kind of his group, his team, and he's
- 42:53Speaker 2: leading the way that you guys taught him. Does that
- 42:55Speaker 2: give you a little sense of pride that he's kind
- 42:57Speaker 2: of carrying on that legacy even though there are a
- 42:59Speaker 2: different nickname for the D fence.
- 43:01Speaker 3: I mean definitely, you know, we that's why you have
- 43:05Speaker 3: you know, so that we call him ogs, you know razy.
- 43:07Speaker 3: You know my og was big red knee bang. Uh
- 43:11Speaker 3: clem crazy self. Uh you know guys like that, and uh,
- 43:15Speaker 3: you know they kind of showed me the way. So
- 43:17Speaker 3: you know, my last few years in the locker room,
- 43:20Speaker 3: especially my last uh my last two times there, I
- 43:23Speaker 3: was kind of like you know the j Wee the
- 43:26Speaker 3: j Ree situation. You know, the dude who had you know,
- 43:29Speaker 3: been through some stuff, was older, h had a lot
- 43:33Speaker 3: of knowledge and stuff like that. So uh, it make
- 43:36Speaker 3: it makes you proud to see uh, you know, see
- 43:38Speaker 3: see see see that type of stuff robot on on
- 43:41Speaker 3: good players, especially a guy like j Reed. He's leading
- 43:44Speaker 3: the right way and you know, year ten, uh, he
- 43:47Speaker 3: still works his tail. I'm like he's in year two
- 43:50Speaker 3: or three. So that's a special thing to have, and
- 43:52Speaker 3: I think he's a very special asset for them to
- 43:55Speaker 3: have in their room.
- 43:56Speaker 2: Bruce Irvin joining me in fronts with you this afternoon.
- 43:59Speaker 2: I'm gonna get back to this year's team in a second.
- 44:01Speaker 2: But you brought up some names, and listen to Seahawk fans.
- 44:03Speaker 2: You know how crazy they are, You know how passionate
- 44:06Speaker 2: they are. You start bringing up the names you did,
- 44:08Speaker 2: and they want to hear stories. They want to hear
- 44:09Speaker 2: about the old days, and they want to hear about
- 44:11Speaker 2: this team that established a level of excellence that Mike
- 44:15Speaker 2: McDonald and his defense and his team now have have
- 44:17Speaker 2: re established over the last couple of years. We go
- 44:20Speaker 2: back in time to Bruce Servan is rookie in twenty twelve,
- 44:22Speaker 2: and it was Chris Clemens, it was Red Brian, Brandon,
- 44:25Speaker 2: Meban the next year, Michael and Cliff came in uh
- 44:28Speaker 2: in twenty thirteen. But let's go back crazy Chris Clemens.
- 44:32Speaker 2: He was a little bit off, wasn't he?
- 44:34Speaker 3: Like what?
- 44:34Speaker 2: But what was it about Chris that kind of made
- 44:37Speaker 2: him good for you?
- 44:41Speaker 3: You know? Claire was you know, us being a similar
- 44:45Speaker 3: similar body ties, coming from similar situations, both from Anana,
- 44:51Speaker 3: you know, we kind of related in a different way,
- 44:54Speaker 3: not just on the on the bo field, but lost
- 44:56Speaker 3: me the guy, the guy, Uh, that's the the guy
- 45:00Speaker 3: worked hard. You know, he was very underrated. You know,
- 45:04Speaker 3: you know you're talking about the town. When I came in,
- 45:06Speaker 3: he was a double digit tech guy. Uh, you know,
- 45:09Speaker 3: back to back to back years. So I've never thought
- 45:12Speaker 3: he got the credit he deserved. And that was kind
- 45:15Speaker 3: of how I felt, you know, along the draft process
- 45:18Speaker 3: and in college and stuff. So, uh, he was a
- 45:20Speaker 3: guy came in and he's, like I said, he show
- 45:22Speaker 3: me how to do it the right way, and uh
- 45:23Speaker 3: he passed on all his knowledge and uh, you know
- 45:25Speaker 3: he was he was a great mentor for me.
- 45:28Speaker 2: Bruce Irving with us, Bruce, what was it about the
- 45:31Speaker 2: l B that was different? You played on some other
- 45:34Speaker 2: teams after Seattle. You played in Oakland, Atlanta, Carolina, Chicago,
- 45:38Speaker 2: and then you know a little bit in Detroit. So
- 45:40Speaker 2: you bounced around a little bit, but you you know,
- 45:42Speaker 2: you were always kind of a seahawk at heart. But
- 45:44Speaker 2: what was it about that group of guys at LB
- 45:48Speaker 2: Hall of Famers, certainly with Bobby and maybe earling a
- 45:50Speaker 2: cup of Sherman some guys. The talent was there, but
- 45:53Speaker 2: what separated that team, that defense from other teams around football?
- 46:00Speaker 8: Uh?
- 46:01Speaker 3: I just think, uh it was just used to always
- 46:05Speaker 3: say it's a bunch of guys who were missed fits.
- 46:07Speaker 3: You know, some guys who wouldn't particularly fit in another
- 46:11Speaker 3: situation or another building, and they fit perfectly. You know.
- 46:14Speaker 3: Uh in Seattle, you know guys who come from different situations.
- 46:19Speaker 3: You had me coming from when I came through. You
- 46:20Speaker 3: have bes Mode, he had Mike Bennett, and you have
- 46:24Speaker 3: Brandon Brown, So you get you had guys who come
- 46:27Speaker 3: from uh different situations, but all faced some type of
- 46:30Speaker 3: adversity in their life. And uh, you know, I think
- 46:32Speaker 3: one of the biggest things made us good was uh
- 46:35Speaker 3: the accountability aspect of it. You know, nobody wanted to
- 46:37Speaker 3: let each other down and if uh, you know, if
- 46:40Speaker 3: a guy was out of line or he was BS.
- 46:42Speaker 3: I think I think we did a great job of
- 46:44Speaker 3: uh letting him know, you know, without being disrespectable, A
- 46:47Speaker 3: you know, you gotta you gotta, you gotta, you gotta
- 46:49Speaker 3: uphold a certain standard if you want to be here
- 46:51Speaker 3: and if and if you don't, then we will weed
- 46:53Speaker 3: those type of guys out. So I think, uh, you know,
- 46:56Speaker 3: it was one of the best to ever do it.
- 46:58Speaker 3: It was a special time. And you know, I always
- 47:00Speaker 3: say I wish I would have lived in a moment
- 47:02Speaker 3: a little more. You know, I was just a younger guy.
- 47:03Speaker 3: I thought it was normal, you know, being on a
- 47:06Speaker 3: top five, top top one, two, three defense a year
- 47:09Speaker 3: and e and out. So I definitely wish I lived
- 47:12Speaker 3: in a moment more. But you know, it is what
- 47:13Speaker 3: it is.
- 47:14Speaker 2: You got a Super Bowl ring though, that's I mean,
- 47:16Speaker 2: that's at the end of the day. You got a
- 47:19Speaker 2: Super Bowl ring. You're part of a legacy here, and
- 47:21Speaker 2: so yeah, it is interesting even for those of us
- 47:23Speaker 2: that covered it. I kind of think, you know, you
- 47:25Speaker 2: go to that Super that first one, you go back
- 47:26Speaker 2: to the second one, you just kind of feel like
- 47:28Speaker 2: it's gonna happen every year, and it's just a it's
- 47:30Speaker 2: a fleeting thing. Like football's hard, the NFL's Hard's hard,
- 47:32Speaker 2: to get to the Super Bowl, even harder to win it.
- 47:35Speaker 2: What would your come to the game this weekend? I
- 47:36Speaker 2: heard what would your advice be to like a Byron
- 47:39Speaker 2: Murphy or a boy a Mafe or a Derek Hall
- 47:42Speaker 2: or some of these guys that are in this position
- 47:44Speaker 2: in an NFC title game for the first time you
- 47:47Speaker 2: just mentioned a little bit of it, like like, hey,
- 47:48Speaker 2: you know, is it enjoy the moment? Is it take
- 47:50Speaker 2: it all in, appreciate it?
- 47:52Speaker 5: What?
- 47:52Speaker 2: What would your advice be? What would what would the
- 47:54Speaker 2: wise old Bruce Servans advice be to some of these
- 47:56Speaker 2: young guys.
- 47:58Speaker 3: I will say, just try to live in the moment,
- 48:02Speaker 3: you know, because this is one of the you know,
- 48:04Speaker 3: this is probably a lot of a lot of dudes,
- 48:07Speaker 3: a lot of those dudes one of the most biggest
- 48:09Speaker 3: games they ever playing, they're gonna playing. So I would
- 48:12Speaker 3: just say, you know, don't take anything for grant, man.
- 48:15Speaker 3: You know, I always say that I've been out two
- 48:17Speaker 3: years and I still miss football, you know. So it's
- 48:20Speaker 3: nothing like it. The camaraderie, the brotherhood. Just go day
- 48:24Speaker 3: in and day out, going to work with your brothers
- 48:26Speaker 3: man and all working towards one common goal. So I
- 48:29Speaker 3: would tell those boys just you know, live in the
- 48:31Speaker 3: moment because you know this this team is gonna be
- 48:33Speaker 3: different next year. So uh, you know, that's just part
- 48:36Speaker 3: of the business. So just just be where you fee
- 48:39Speaker 3: at and uh, you know, try to try to go
- 48:41Speaker 3: you know, go for it, and you know, try to
- 48:43Speaker 3: get number two in Seattle because you know that's a
- 48:45Speaker 3: special place. And man, you know, once if you want
- 48:48Speaker 3: another one, there's a telling how that city is gonna act,
- 48:50Speaker 3: you know. So, uh, my biggest thing was just be
- 48:53Speaker 3: like living in a moment, Bruce.
- 48:54Speaker 2: There. For a while, the home field advantage at Looming
- 48:58Speaker 2: Field kind of went away the last few years. It
- 49:00Speaker 2: started to come back last year and it is fully
- 49:03Speaker 2: back on full throttle this year. We saw that with
- 49:07Speaker 2: the forty nine Ers game. We saw that on the
- 49:09Speaker 2: Thursday night game with the Rams a few weeks ago.
- 49:12Speaker 2: But when you get to the NFC championship game at
- 49:15Speaker 2: home in Seattle, you know what it's like. You know
- 49:18Speaker 2: what that place is going to be like, and it's
- 49:20Speaker 2: a rival. It's the Rams at Stafford and all those
- 49:22Speaker 2: guys rolling in McVeigh with his short pants and weird
- 49:25Speaker 2: voice and everything like that. Them dus be coming in here, right,
- 49:28Speaker 2: They're gonna do that. The crowd. What kind of impact,
- 49:34Speaker 2: especially for the guys on your side of the ball,
- 49:36Speaker 2: on that defensive side, What kind of impact can the
- 49:39Speaker 2: twelves and that crowd make on Sunday afternoon.
- 49:43Speaker 3: Well, I mean it's called twelfth Man for a reason.
- 49:48Speaker 3: When I was there, it's called hitting Link, And you
- 49:50Speaker 3: know he used to be a certain standard. You know,
- 49:53Speaker 3: they come to the Link, you know, they had no
- 49:56Speaker 3: chance of winning. We felt like we won the game
- 49:59Speaker 3: before we even took the field, you know, because of
- 50:00Speaker 3: our preparation during the week. But cincra Ling just turned
- 50:03Speaker 3: up another another lot, another notch. I don't know if
- 50:06Speaker 3: you remember we went with three years in a row
- 50:08Speaker 3: without losing at home. Yeah.
- 50:10Speaker 2: Yeah, he made my job easier, made my job when
- 50:13Speaker 2: I was talking to you guys after the game, and
- 50:14Speaker 2: my job a lot easier.
- 50:16Speaker 3: Yeah, that's that's hasn't heard of you talking about eight
- 50:19Speaker 3: automatic eight wins and you got to steal two or
- 50:21Speaker 3: three on the road, and you know that's eleven. That's
- 50:23Speaker 3: eleven win season. So I think those guys are gonna
- 50:26Speaker 3: be pumped up to play in front of a great
- 50:28Speaker 3: fan base and uh, you know, it definitely helped. So
- 50:30Speaker 3: outside of the ball, you know, I feel like Mike,
- 50:33Speaker 3: b and Cliff used to really thrive in the playoffs,
- 50:36Speaker 3: and that's probably because you know, you know, teams couldn't sign,
- 50:40Speaker 3: they had to sign the count, and you know, you
- 50:41Speaker 3: could watch the you could watch the play clock and
- 50:44Speaker 3: get off. Know, they couldn't hard count because it was
- 50:46Speaker 3: so loud, so you can get off on first movement,
- 50:49Speaker 3: you know. So I think those guys did a great
- 50:51Speaker 3: job of taking advantage of that. And I could see Chenna,
- 50:54Speaker 3: you know, boy A and and tanking and big catching,
- 50:57Speaker 3: all those boys doing the same thing.
- 50:59Speaker 2: As we can. DeMarcus Lawrence, Man, how about this guy
- 51:02Speaker 2: like he was just like Dallas just kind of cast
- 51:04Speaker 2: him aside, like we're good, Yeah, we're good. He's got
- 51:07Speaker 2: what an impact he's made. I mean, I think and
- 51:10Speaker 2: you just go through it. That's what made you guys great.
- 51:12Speaker 2: I thought up front you had so much depth, you know,
- 51:15Speaker 2: I mean, I think people forget Mike, Michael Bennett and
- 51:18Speaker 2: Cliff abral were backups in twenty three. They were backups.
- 51:22Speaker 2: You know, those are guys are double digit sack guys,
- 51:25Speaker 2: but they were backups. You and Chris Clemens and those
- 51:28Speaker 2: two guys, big Red playing a five tech that you know,
- 51:31Speaker 2: they found a place for this guy, right like like that,
- 51:34Speaker 2: you guys had such great depth, and that's what that's
- 51:37Speaker 2: what I think. That's to me, one of the similarities
- 51:39Speaker 2: of this team with that team is they have so
- 51:41Speaker 2: much depth up front.
- 51:42Speaker 3: Bruce, Yeah, it's it definitely helped when you got a
- 51:47Speaker 3: four guys that can come in and you rotate another
- 51:49Speaker 3: four and there's no drop off, you know, that's that's
- 51:52Speaker 3: definitely a big deal. And I feel like those these
- 51:55Speaker 3: dudes this year got it. Uh you know, you don't
- 51:57Speaker 3: even hear much about Boyer or Derek All well, you know,
- 52:01Speaker 3: you put those two guys in any other system and
- 52:02Speaker 3: their starters, you know, and uh, you know, they just
- 52:06Speaker 3: got a great rotation, and I think, uh, during this
- 52:08Speaker 3: time of the year, I think that's, uh, that's what
- 52:10Speaker 3: separates the team from you know, being an NFC contended
- 52:14Speaker 3: to be in a Super Bowl champion. So uh, you know,
- 52:17Speaker 3: those guys just got to come out and bring it
- 52:18Speaker 3: and uh, you know, you know four guys and four
- 52:21Speaker 3: guys out there's no drop off. Was just just just
- 52:23Speaker 3: get it, get it going.
- 52:24Speaker 2: Earlier, I watching these guys in mini camps, especially in
- 52:28Speaker 2: mini camps and o tas, the ones that were the
- 52:30Speaker 2: OTAs that were optional, and Jared Reed, Marcus Lawrence Chenno
- 52:34Speaker 2: was coming off an injury. But those guys were all
- 52:36Speaker 2: there every single day. But there's also internal competition, like
- 52:39Speaker 2: in practice, and I was kind of laughed. I used
- 52:41Speaker 2: to hear about this with you guys. You know, they
- 52:43Speaker 2: didn't let us in the media watch a lot of practice,
- 52:45Speaker 2: but I used to hear that your practices were sometimes
- 52:47Speaker 2: more competitive than than a game than a game. Week
- 52:51Speaker 2: you know, you're going against you know, Doug Baldwin and
- 52:54Speaker 2: Beast Mode and you know Peak Russ, not now Russ,
- 52:58Speaker 2: but Peak Russ, all those things, right, Golden Tate, all
- 53:01Speaker 2: of Percy, all those guys. When you guys were going
- 53:03Speaker 2: against those dudes in practice, it felt like the old
- 53:05Speaker 2: iron sharpens iron. It was how competitive were your practices, Bruce,
- 53:11Speaker 2: It was.
- 53:11Speaker 3: Way harder than the games. That's why That's why I
- 53:14Speaker 3: just said earlier, we felt like we already had won
- 53:18Speaker 3: the game before we took the field, because it's our preparation.
- 53:22Speaker 3: And I mean, I mean we loved each other at
- 53:24Speaker 3: the end of the d I mean at the end
- 53:25Speaker 3: of the day, during the week it was war. You
- 53:27Speaker 3: know we got on one on one uh teams drills
- 53:30Speaker 3: or the period when we go one on one. We
- 53:32Speaker 3: was competing. You know. It wasn't no, I'm gonna let
- 53:36Speaker 3: you go and you get this dude, now, we was
- 53:38Speaker 3: going hated head. So I think that's what made us great. Man,
- 53:42Speaker 3: A bunch of young, hungry guys connected in a certain
- 53:44Speaker 3: way and it just made us special.
- 53:46Speaker 2: So what was what was best mode like to practice against?
- 53:50Speaker 2: Play against? Be around half the time he's on in practice,
- 53:53Speaker 2: we'd see him hanging out on the defensive side. So
- 53:55Speaker 2: what was what was he really like?
- 53:58Speaker 3: I mean, he's down to earth guy.
- 53:59Speaker 1: Man.
- 54:00Speaker 3: Know, people got a certain per perception of Marshall, but
- 54:03Speaker 3: then that's one of the smartest dudes I ever met.
- 54:05Speaker 3: Uh No, trying to handle his business. Uh practice hard.
- 54:10Speaker 3: He used to wear he used to wear a collar
- 54:12Speaker 3: shirt under his jersey during practice. Has to be like, well, bro,
- 54:15Speaker 3: why do you got this college shirt on his back?
- 54:17Speaker 3: Because when I come out here him and buy my business. So, uh,
- 54:20Speaker 3: he definitely went about his business a certain way, and uh,
- 54:23Speaker 3: it was our common it was unusual, but it was
- 54:25Speaker 3: his way. He got it done. So definitely glad I
- 54:28Speaker 3: was able to play with a guy like him. I'm
- 54:30Speaker 3: a Hall of Fame player like him, and uh, you know,
- 54:32Speaker 3: we're still great friends to this day. I talk to
- 54:35Speaker 3: beach Modem there every day. So uh, definitely, definitely glad.
- 54:39Speaker 3: I got to experience, you know, more than more than
- 54:42Speaker 3: half of my career with him because he was with
- 54:43Speaker 3: me in Oakland too, So definitely got to enjoy him.
- 54:48Speaker 2: I'll wrap it up with this expanding that a little
- 54:49Speaker 2: bit because I think one of the things is as
- 54:52Speaker 2: tough as you guys were on the field, as bad
- 54:56Speaker 2: as you guys were on the field, and I mean
- 54:58Speaker 2: when you came back. I remember when you came back
- 55:00Speaker 2: twenty twenty two. They brought you back for a reason,
- 55:02Speaker 2: and I think you said you said to me on
- 55:04Speaker 2: the radio, or maybe it's over on TV, he said,
- 55:06Speaker 2: the bully is back in town to get things straightened out, right,
- 55:08Speaker 2: Like you had to straightened stuff out and get this
- 55:10Speaker 2: team back to to kind of where they needed to be,
- 55:12Speaker 2: where what the Seahawks' standard was, because you guys set
- 55:15Speaker 2: that standard. But as tough and everything as you guys
- 55:18Speaker 2: were the success that so many of you guys have
- 55:21Speaker 2: had off the field. You talked about what Marshawn's done
- 55:23Speaker 2: with his business, is what Doug's done in his foundation,
- 55:25Speaker 2: Cliff the same thing. Michael Bennett's got a million things
- 55:28Speaker 2: going on on and on. You talk about all those
- 55:30Speaker 2: things that are happening. What does that say about the
- 55:33Speaker 2: character of all you guys?
- 55:36Speaker 3: Just just feel like we was brought up the right wordy.
- 55:39Speaker 3: I feel like Pete, you know, raised a bunch of
- 55:43Speaker 3: young football players, not only football players. He he molted
- 55:46Speaker 3: a bunch of men, a bunch of men into you know,
- 55:51Speaker 3: great guys, great citizens, great fathers, great husband and you know,
- 55:57Speaker 3: I think he did a great job. And you know,
- 55:59Speaker 3: hats out Pete Carroll and a guy who I look
- 56:02Speaker 3: at as a father, not only me, but I feel
- 56:05Speaker 3: like the whole team did. So I think he did
- 56:08Speaker 3: a great job. And I feel like he raised us
- 56:10Speaker 3: the right way. And you know, I was blessed to
- 56:12Speaker 3: be put in a situation. I always tell him thank
- 56:14Speaker 3: you when I see him. He was finder. I always
- 56:16Speaker 3: thank you for changing my life. But I never had
- 56:19Speaker 3: no heart feeling towards you because I understand at the
- 56:21Speaker 3: end of the day is a business, and once you
- 56:22Speaker 3: understands the business, they make a lot of the decisions
- 56:25Speaker 3: was way clear. So, like I said, man, I'm just
- 56:29Speaker 3: blessed to be putting a situation like that.
- 56:31Speaker 2: It's funny you mentioned Josh Schneider. He was named the
- 56:33Speaker 2: Executive of the Year in the NFL today and Bruce,
- 56:36Speaker 2: that's the first time he's received that award. And you
- 56:38Speaker 2: look at the drafts he had from twenty ten, twenty eleven,
- 56:42Speaker 2: your draft in twenty twelve. It's pretty good. You Bobby
- 56:45Speaker 2: russ et cetera, all those guys, and then when he's
- 56:48Speaker 2: done the last few year, the first time he's being
- 56:50Speaker 2: nick names exctly of the year. He drafted you in
- 56:52Speaker 2: the first round and not a lot of guys would
- 56:54Speaker 2: have him and Pete picked you in the first round
- 56:56Speaker 2: and and like you said, change your life. You left,
- 56:59Speaker 2: came back to different times, three different tenures, which tells
- 57:02Speaker 2: you all you need. And it's a business. You get that,
- 57:04Speaker 2: So you gotta it's got to be kind of cool
- 57:06Speaker 2: for you to see Schnyder get that award today too.
- 57:09Speaker 3: Yeah, he definitely deserves it. Man, snydery Worksh's tail off.
- 57:12Speaker 3: You know, when I first got there, I seen Snyder.
- 57:16Speaker 3: He would be in the locker room with us a lot.
- 57:17Speaker 3: But you know, as years when on, he matured and uh,
- 57:20Speaker 3: you know, he learned how to separate that certain relationship
- 57:24Speaker 3: with certain stuff. But like I said, he deserves that honor. Man.
- 57:27Speaker 3: I'm just happy I'm still connected to connect to him,
- 57:31Speaker 3: to connect it to him in certain ways. You know. Uh,
- 57:33Speaker 3: you know, my son had an accident in twenty four
- 57:35Speaker 3: and him and Pete were one of the first dudes
- 57:37Speaker 3: to call my phone just make sure I was okay,
- 57:39Speaker 3: and sit mon Kelly down to check on me in
- 57:42Speaker 3: the hospital with my boy. So definitely have a special
- 57:45Speaker 3: bard with those guys, man, And I'm just thankful that
- 57:48Speaker 3: you know, it'll last a lifetime.
- 57:50Speaker 2: That's incredible. That's an incredible story. You'd already been gone
- 57:53Speaker 2: for a couple of years and that at Fir saw
- 57:54Speaker 2: how's your.
- 57:54Speaker 3: Son doing myself? It's doing great. Yeah, he's okay, bouncing back.
- 57:59Speaker 3: He got to learn. He got a journey steel. But
- 58:01Speaker 3: you know, uh, you know, I'm pushing them here. He'll
- 58:04Speaker 3: get back.
- 58:05Speaker 2: That's an incredible story. Though, those guys all reached out
- 58:07Speaker 2: to you, and then Mo Kelly came down whose people
- 58:08Speaker 2: don't know he kind of deals with all the player
- 58:10Speaker 2: stuff behind the scenes and been there for forever and
- 58:12Speaker 2: a day. Is one of the good dudes out there. Uh, Bruce,
- 58:15Speaker 2: when you come here on Sunday, you're at the game?
- 58:17Speaker 2: Are you who you watching the game with? The Are
- 58:18Speaker 2: you gonna be with Beast Motor?

- 58:22Speaker 2: new this new iteration? What's it gonna be like there?
- 58:25Speaker 3: I think they're gonna put us out in a little
- 58:27Speaker 3: sweep to so it'll be fu I'm sure it'd be
- 58:32Speaker 3: a lot of a lot of trash talking and good
- 58:35Speaker 3: vibes up there, you know, so you know, I can't
- 58:37Speaker 3: wait to get back.
- 58:38Speaker 2: Maybe you guys should raise a flag. I don't know.
- 58:40Speaker 2: Maybe makes sense, it makes sense, I don't know. Listen,
- 58:44Speaker 2: it's gonna be fun. You're gonna look up there in
- 58:46Speaker 2: the stands. You look up there, you see a couple
- 58:48Speaker 2: of NFC championship banners. You see a Super Bowl banner
- 58:51Speaker 2: hanging at Looming Field. And this new group, you guys
- 58:54Speaker 2: set the standard that are gonna try to reach those
- 58:56Speaker 2: same goals. And and but you guys were the first.
- 58:58Speaker 2: And that's that's awesome, Bruce. Great to catch up with you, man,
- 59:01Speaker 2: really is great to catch up with you. Best of
- 59:03Speaker 2: luck to with all the stuff you got going on.

- 59:12Speaker 2: All right, hey, man's great hearing your voice. We'll talk
- 59:14Speaker 2: to you soon. There you go, that's Bruce Irvin. Man,
- 59:17Speaker 2: that is the bad man, Bruce Irvin joining us here
- 59:19Speaker 2: on the Beacon Plumbing Hotline. Ton of fun to talk
- 59:22Speaker 2: to Bruce Irvan. I really liked the guy his level
- 59:27Speaker 2: when he came in here as a kid, and if
- 59:29Speaker 2: you remember, he had some stuff going off the field.
- 59:31Speaker 2: We talked to him that very first day when he
- 59:32Speaker 2: got drafted in twenty twelve, and he had a line
- 59:35Speaker 2: I'll never forget. He goes, the truth will come to light.
- 59:38Speaker 2: Oh there was.
- 59:39Speaker 5: Also he was talking about My favorite one was I
- 59:42Speaker 5: knew it was BS, my lawyer knew it was BS.
- 59:45Speaker 2: And the good Lord b Yeah yeah, And then he
- 59:49Speaker 2: said the truth will come to light. And did those
- 59:53Speaker 2: guys all had an itch? They all had an itch.
- 59:57Speaker 2: I don't think that the guys this group has that
- 1:00:00Speaker 2: stame rough edge necessarily around them. A couple of them do,
- 1:00:05Speaker 2: but but they but this this is that that group
- 1:00:08Speaker 2: to set the standard. And I think that one connection
- 1:00:11Speaker 2: I want to ask them about Jared. I think Jaren
- 1:00:13Speaker 2: reads that connector he's that bond between the old guard
- 1:00:15Speaker 2: and the new Guard, and it's important to have that.
- 1:00:17Speaker 2: And they've re established all of that with what they
- 1:00:20Speaker 2: have and it's pretty cool to see.
- 1:00:21Speaker 9: Uh.
- 1:00:22Speaker 2: I don't think we can check texts because are things down.
- 1:00:24Speaker 2: We got issues of the text line.
- 1:00:26Speaker 3: UH.

- 1:00:29Speaker 2: all you have to do is go the iHeart Radio app.

- 1:01:34Speaker 1: This cameeron out of Tacoma, super pumped up for the
- 1:01:38Speaker 1: Seahawks game.
- 1:01:39Speaker 2: It's nice to see us winning again.
- 1:01:41Speaker 8: Let's go get these rams.
- 1:01:42Speaker 2: Baby still lost my voice a little bit from last weekend.
- 1:01:46Speaker 3: I've got the game.
- 1:01:49Speaker 2: Well, guess we're good. We guess we'll get back to
- 1:01:50Speaker 2: sport Voice talkbacks here in just a second. Yeah, it's
- 1:01:53Speaker 2: good to hear Bruce. The stories are good. Marsha, we'd
- 1:01:57Speaker 2: heard a little. I remember hearing that before I forgot
- 1:02:00Speaker 2: about Marshaun wore the collar shirt underneath the jersey is
- 1:02:03Speaker 2: all about business. I remember Cliff when he was working here.
- 1:02:07Speaker 2: He was telling the story about Earl Thomas and him
- 1:02:10Speaker 2: almost getting in a fight during practice because it was
- 1:02:13Speaker 2: a walk through and Bennett and Cliff where they had
- 1:02:18Speaker 2: like sunflower seeds and just kind of walking through things
- 1:02:22Speaker 2: because it was wait for it, they walked through. Earl
- 1:02:26Speaker 2: didn't know what a walk through was. He was going
- 1:02:27Speaker 2: full speed and they got into it. I mean they
- 1:02:29Speaker 2: had all those guys. That group was something, man, that
- 1:02:33Speaker 2: group was something. This team, this defense, they got a
- 1:02:38Speaker 2: chance to get up to that same level. They got
- 1:02:39Speaker 2: a ways to go. It's way too early to compare.
- 1:02:42Speaker 2: And I don't even think comparing. It's not even about comparing,
- 1:02:45Speaker 2: it's just can you reach that same level. I think
- 1:02:47Speaker 2: it's the thing I like about what Bruce was saying,
- 1:02:50Speaker 2: and you know he gets it. They set the standard,
- 1:02:54Speaker 2: a standard went away for a few years, and that's
- 1:02:56Speaker 2: unfortunately why they had leapee go. But then they brought
- 1:02:58Speaker 2: a coach in they could get him back to that
- 1:03:00Speaker 2: defense first mentality. That's what it is. It's so funny.
- 1:03:02Speaker 2: It's a defense first team, yet they're the highest scoring
- 1:03:05Speaker 2: team in Seahawk history. One compliments the other very strange,
- 1:03:10Speaker 2: right fire none one off on me.
- 1:03:12Speaker 10: Kurt Signetti got a life of me. I couldn't think
- 1:03:15Speaker 10: of who the hell are reminded me of? Then all
- 1:03:17Speaker 10: of a sudden it hit me. Dan Aykroyd. Now I
- 1:03:22Speaker 10: can't done see it. So if there's ever a movie
- 1:03:24Speaker 10: about Dan Akroyd should play coach Signetti.
- 1:03:28Speaker 2: The big difference there is Signetti's not funny.
- 1:03:32Speaker 4: But yeah that's true. Maybe like what Conehead's version.
- 1:03:36Speaker 2: Yeah maybe maybe I never likens. I thought that was skid,
- 1:03:40Speaker 2: all right, what else got I'm out, Okay, thanks, I've.
- 1:03:43Speaker 8: Got one word for the radio station.
- 1:03:46Speaker 10: George Hulani.
- 1:03:50Speaker 2: George Hulani, that would be Hailani. Right, that's what I
- 1:03:54Speaker 2: would think. We talked about that earlier with with Corbyn.
- 1:03:58Speaker 2: George Halani is practicing. He should be ready to go
- 1:04:04Speaker 2: this week. No charbon A Cordan wrote a great story
- 1:04:10Speaker 2: at Animal Saspectrum Dot Comfy want to check that out,
- 1:04:13Speaker 2: wrote really good story on the fact that you know
- 1:04:15Speaker 2: Halani's gonna come in. He'll take that spot. Different type
- 1:04:20Speaker 2: of running back, but he's got some power to him,
- 1:04:22Speaker 2: he's got some juice to him, so they'll be okay,
- 1:04:26Speaker 2: you just give me, you give me ken Walker from
- 1:04:28Speaker 2: last week all over again, and there'll be more than
- 1:04:30Speaker 2: okay along the way, all right, how many to get
- 1:04:31Speaker 2: a come more?
- 1:04:32Speaker 3: Hey?
- 1:04:33Speaker 2: Three?
- 1:04:33Speaker 8: More?
- 1:04:33Speaker 3: Fire away?
- 1:04:34Speaker 2: Okay?
- 1:04:34Speaker 9: Hey, you guys love your show than uh, just wanted
- 1:04:37Speaker 9: to touch on, you know, the opponent. Everybody was wanting
- 1:04:41Speaker 9: the Bears to win, and and yeah, we we think
- 1:04:44Speaker 9: we can beat the Bears. I wanted the Rams. That's
- 1:04:48Speaker 9: what competition is all about. The best teams going at
- 1:04:51Speaker 9: it when everything's on the line. Bring them snotty issy,
- 1:04:57Speaker 9: lame ass LA kids didn't hear.
- 1:05:00Speaker 8: They're pass.
- 1:05:03Speaker 2: Highlight, you know, I asked corbyin that tod we'll talk
- 1:05:07Speaker 2: about this with Cosell tomorrow. If you're gonna win a championship,
- 1:05:11Speaker 2: you got to go through the good teams along the way.
- 1:05:15Speaker 2: Now you can have an easier path, you can hope
- 1:05:16Speaker 2: for an easier path, but at some point you're gonna
- 1:05:18Speaker 2: run into something. When they won the Super Bowl, they
- 1:05:22Speaker 2: being the Seahawks in the twenty thirteen season, in the
- 1:05:24Speaker 2: Super Bowl forty eight, the forty nine ers were a
- 1:05:29Speaker 2: brutal challenge for them. In the NFC Championships, they they
- 1:05:32Speaker 2: were special. They were this year's version. They're the Rams
- 1:05:36Speaker 2: in the sense, or maybe the Seahawks will be the
- 1:05:38Speaker 2: ninerspending on the outcome. I don't know. But you had
- 1:05:41Speaker 2: to go through that team along the way. It was
- 1:05:43Speaker 2: funny because everyone thought it was going to be the
- 1:05:45Speaker 2: highest scoring team ever and this great offense with Denver,
- 1:05:49Speaker 2: and that was going to be way too much for
- 1:05:51Speaker 2: Seattle to overcome. We all know what happened. They blew
- 1:05:54Speaker 2: their doors off. Wasn't even a game, wasn't even competitive,
- 1:05:57Speaker 2: smoked Peyton Manning and the Broncos because but they were
- 1:06:01Speaker 2: so battle tested by then, and they'd already done the
- 1:06:03Speaker 2: heavy lifting because they beat the forty nine ers. So yeah,
- 1:06:05Speaker 2: I can see that. I wanted the Bears because I
- 1:06:08Speaker 2: think it's the path of least resistance. That's what I
- 1:06:11Speaker 2: would have wanted to see. But whatever, bring them on,
- 1:06:14Speaker 2: here go Rams. Let's do it. Two best teams in
- 1:06:16Speaker 2: the NFL, to to toe three thirty final game before
- 1:06:19Speaker 2: the Super Bowl on Sunday. Let's get it. Let's get
- 1:06:21Speaker 2: it going. All right, you get two more I under Chriser.
- 1:06:25Speaker 11: God, I cannot wait for Sunday. Is can't get here
- 1:06:28Speaker 11: soon enough.
- 1:06:29Speaker 8: It's the Rams, man, it's gonna.
- 1:06:31Speaker 11: Be a battle, and they got Devana Adams back. I
- 1:06:35Speaker 11: just can't be confident about this. It's it's it's gonna
- 1:06:39Speaker 11: come down to the last, you know, drive. But I
- 1:06:43Speaker 11: really just can't wait to look at Matthew Stafford and think, so,
- 1:06:48Speaker 11: come on, guys, let's go hawk.
- 1:06:53Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 1:06:55Speaker 2: I think we're all kind of in that same boat
- 1:06:56Speaker 2: right now. Right, let's just get to let's just get
- 1:06:58Speaker 2: to Sunday.
- 1:06:59Speaker 4: Too much time, Yeah, yeah, imagine if it was two weeks.
- 1:07:02Speaker 2: Well, we're hoping we have that to that problem to
- 1:07:04Speaker 2: deal with.
- 1:07:04Speaker 4: That's a good point.
- 1:07:05Speaker 2: Okay, like that'd be a great problem to deal with
- 1:07:07Speaker 2: if it's two weeks. All right, we have one more
- 1:07:09Speaker 2: talk back. Let's get it and.
- 1:07:11Speaker 12: What's going on? This is so robbed down in Long Beach, California.
- 1:07:14Speaker 2: What U Hawk fan for life? Sounds good?

- 1:11:34Speaker 13: Randy Johnson fastball right off the back of the wall.

- 1:11:42Speaker 13: the back of the Kingdom.
- 1:11:43Speaker 2: Like if there was a wall that covered left field
- 1:11:46Speaker 2: of T Mobile Prozy, he would have hit it. He
- 1:11:48Speaker 2: would hit it.
- 1:11:48Speaker 13: Yeah, I know if that wall wasn't there, it would
- 1:11:50Speaker 13: have gone into f X for Correy's That's how hard

- 1:12:05Speaker 2: I will never miss a Petros episode again.
- 1:12:08Speaker 13: You just just just imagine walking around LA with a
- 1:12:10Speaker 13: name like that, well and right, and you get the Chamber.
- 1:12:14Speaker 2: Wow, that guy's getting some well Chamber was jealous.
- 1:12:20Speaker 3: Damn.

- 1:12:23Speaker 2: we doing here? Man?
- 1:12:24Speaker 13: I'm excited? Yeah, I mean, of course I'm nervous. I mean,
- 1:12:26Speaker 13: you know, it's the biggest game of the year. I
- 1:12:28Speaker 13: mean you're talking about Yeah, I was thinking about this
- 1:12:30Speaker 13: on the way over here, that the sports god has
- 1:12:32Speaker 13: robbed us of our World Series, that they owe us
- 1:12:34Speaker 13: up to zero against Toronto.
- 1:12:36Speaker 2: They've robbed us for fifty years. But yeah, well yeah,
- 1:12:38Speaker 2: but they robbed us recently.
- 1:12:40Speaker 3: Yes.
- 1:12:40Speaker 13: I mean it's like every four years there's a new
- 1:12:42Speaker 13: sports god. You know that, right, and there's an election.
- 1:12:44Speaker 13: Oh oh yeah, the whole thing. Yeah, so that guy,
- 1:12:48Speaker 13: your goal whatever.
- 1:12:50Speaker 2: Whatever it is.
- 1:12:51Speaker 13: Yes, whoever was elected denied us of our World Series,
- 1:12:54Speaker 13: and I think they can kind of make it up
- 1:12:56Speaker 13: to us by giving us a Super Bowl.
- 1:12:58Speaker 2: We had a guy on the talk back you know,
- 1:13:01Speaker 2: if you know this, we have a talkback thing.
- 1:13:03Speaker 13: Fin I was listening. That's how you found out about
- 1:13:05Speaker 13: Dick Hammer. Yes, yes, thank you to whoever that guy was.
- 1:13:08Speaker 2: And the gentleman mentioned the fact that he's glad it's
- 1:13:11Speaker 2: the Rams, right, Are you glad at the Rams or
- 1:13:14Speaker 2: would you rather have it be the Bears? I think
- 1:13:16Speaker 2: I'd rather have to be the Bears.
- 1:13:18Speaker 13: But Dick and I talked about this yesterday, man, that
- 1:13:20Speaker 13: you're talking about avoiding a guy in Caleb Williams who
- 1:13:23Speaker 13: just seems to have some magic up as keyst right, now, Dad,
- 1:13:27Speaker 13: So I don't know. I mean, you know what, you
- 1:13:29Speaker 13: really kind of get to a game like this and
- 1:13:31Speaker 13: you're like whatever. I mean, it's kind of all about
- 1:13:33Speaker 13: them now at this point, You're right.
- 1:13:34Speaker 2: You might be playing somebody good, you're saying in the
- 1:13:36Speaker 2: championship game exactly exactly, I mean, and you'd be facing
- 1:13:40Speaker 2: a guy in Caleb Williams.
- 1:13:41Speaker 13: And it's unlike any other quarterback you've seen the entire season, right,
- 1:13:44Speaker 13: I mean, the guy is just clutched, he's pulling rabbits
- 1:13:46Speaker 13: out of his tuck us, he's running around like crazy,
- 1:13:49Speaker 13: He's making defenses work. He's got some kind of thing
- 1:13:53Speaker 13: going on down there. So I said this after the
- 1:13:56Speaker 13: game on Sunday night, that there's man, there's a small
- 1:13:59Speaker 13: part of me. I was rooting for Chicago, I'll admit that.
- 1:14:02Speaker 13: But there's a small part of me that's glad that
- 1:14:04Speaker 13: we're not playing Caleb Williams this weekend.
- 1:14:05Speaker 2: It just feels like it's It's super Bowl weekend, is
- 1:14:08Speaker 2: what it is.
- 1:14:08Speaker 3: Like.
- 1:14:09Speaker 2: It feels like it's Super Bowl again. And I don't
- 1:14:11Speaker 2: I was trying to think back. So I had Bruce
- 1:14:13Speaker 2: Servant on earlier, and I didn't get into it with him,
- 1:14:15Speaker 2: But I was thinking about it later because the Broncos
- 1:14:18Speaker 2: were this maybe just nationally this everyone put them on
- 1:14:21Speaker 2: a pedestal that year and right Manning and the offense,
- 1:14:24Speaker 2: historic offense and all those things. You know, maybe it
- 1:14:26Speaker 2: was different. But I just think back to that game
- 1:14:29Speaker 2: against the forty nine ers and how nervous I was
- 1:14:32Speaker 2: because I thought that I just thought they were great.
- 1:14:34Speaker 2: I thought that the forty nits were a great football team.
- 1:14:36Speaker 2: And I don't know if we were thinking the same thing, like, hey,
- 1:14:39Speaker 2: if you beat the forty nine ers, were going to
- 1:14:40Speaker 2: be in good shape. Maybe it was just so new
- 1:14:43Speaker 2: that we weren't even thinking stuff like that. But I
- 1:14:45Speaker 2: don't know. This this weekend feels to me very different
- 1:14:47Speaker 2: in the sense that they win Sunday. I am really
- 1:14:51Speaker 2: confident about what happens in two weeks because I just
- 1:14:53Speaker 2: don't think.
- 1:14:54Speaker 13: So you're talking about, you know, not playing the greatest
- 1:14:57Speaker 13: offense in the history of the NFL. Yeah, I mean
- 1:14:59Speaker 13: that was the st I mean the Hawks were I
- 1:15:01Speaker 13: mean there's a lot of people thought the Broncos were
- 1:15:02Speaker 13: gonna win that game, and they had Yeah, I don't
- 1:15:07Speaker 13: know if people thought they'd roll I don't remember hearing
- 1:15:10Speaker 13: that from people. I do remember a lot of people
- 1:15:12Speaker 13: pick up the Broncos to win, for sure. I will
- 1:15:14Speaker 13: tell you this though, that I remember being online at
- 1:15:17Speaker 13: that game. Uh you were there right at the stadium
- 1:15:20Speaker 13: that day.
- 1:15:21Speaker 2: Okay, good morning.
- 1:15:23Speaker 8: Yeah.
- 1:15:23Speaker 13: So I'm online for whatever donut or something because this
- 1:15:27Speaker 13: is my pre thirty ten days and a guy walks
- 1:15:30Speaker 13: up to me, some random dude, and just taps you
- 1:15:32Speaker 13: on the shoulder and just says, hey, we're going to
- 1:15:34Speaker 13: kick their ass. I was like, all right, whatever, dude,
- 1:15:37Speaker 13: and he walked away. I'd love to know who that
- 1:15:39Speaker 13: guy was. Would love to know who that guy was,
- 1:15:41Speaker 13: because he's the only guy that even media, anybody who
- 1:15:44Speaker 13: remotely said to me that we're going to beat their
- 1:15:47Speaker 13: ass in the game.
- 1:15:48Speaker 2: And he was one thousand percent right. It's wild, though,
- 1:15:50Speaker 2: because after the game, talking to those guys in the
- 1:15:51Speaker 2: locker room, to a guy everyone, yes, he knew, we
- 1:15:54Speaker 2: knew the.
- 1:15:55Speaker 13: Famous kJ story right, they're watching film. He's like, we
- 1:15:58Speaker 13: got this, we know what the hell they're doing.
- 1:16:00Speaker 2: It was over. It was crazy. Yeah.
- 1:16:01Speaker 13: I was like, kJ, you could have told me. Yeah,
- 1:16:03Speaker 13: I would have want a few bucks on you, for
- 1:16:05Speaker 13: God's sake.
- 1:16:07Speaker 2: For sharing the love. Man, Well, the team had a swagger.
- 1:16:10Speaker 2: This team's got a swagger, and we just I just
- 1:16:13Speaker 2: smacked Matt Stafford in the face a few times. Will
- 1:16:15Speaker 2: be done with this and move on? Well, I think again.
- 1:16:18Speaker 13: You know, look that that thing back then was so
- 1:16:21Speaker 13: new for so many people, you know, I mean, it's
- 1:16:24Speaker 13: it's crazy because the weight between two thousand and five
- 1:16:27Speaker 13: and two thoy thirteen, the weight since our last super
- 1:16:31Speaker 13: Bowl has actually been longer, right than that weight between
- 1:16:34Speaker 13: Pittsburgh and Denver. The weight between New England and today
- 1:16:39Speaker 13: is actually longer. But it still felt like that was
- 1:16:41Speaker 13: kind of new for some people. I don't know why
- 1:16:44Speaker 13: that is.
- 1:16:45Speaker 2: I think for us it's different because we're old. Buddy.
- 1:16:47Speaker 2: There's like a whole generation of fans, like you know,
- 1:16:50Speaker 2: your friend Anders and others, right they were I mean,
- 1:16:53Speaker 2: what were those guys teenagers?
- 1:16:55Speaker 13: Yeah, But I'm just saying that even in twenty thirteen,
- 1:16:58Speaker 13: it felt like people really didn't remember two thousand and five.
- 1:17:01Speaker 13: You know, there were so many new fans that jumped
- 1:17:03Speaker 13: on the wagon. I mean there's no there's no saying,
- 1:17:06Speaker 13: you know, twelve since five, but there's a twelve since
- 1:17:09Speaker 13: twelve when they played Atlanta and almost beat the Falcons
- 1:17:13Speaker 13: that year, So maybe that was part of it too.
- 1:17:15Speaker 13: We and God, I remember being at the the dub
- 1:17:17Speaker 13: Pub out in Kirkland, the Old Hust watching that Falcons
- 1:17:22Speaker 13: game and just despondent when the Seahawks lost that game
- 1:17:25Speaker 13: to Atlanta. So I don't know, man, just getting that
- 1:17:27Speaker 13: time the next year, Yeah, getting that closed it just
- 1:17:31Speaker 13: kind of teased you a little bit, man, So.
- 1:17:33Speaker 2: I think I don't know. I don't know. I wonder
- 1:17:35Speaker 2: if I cracked the code for the twelfth Man flag.
- 1:17:37Speaker 2: By the way, who did you say it is? Well,
- 1:17:40Speaker 2: I didn't. I didn't say, but I'm trying to. I'm
- 1:17:42Speaker 2: connecting the dots. So Bruce Servin's gonna be here, and
- 1:17:45Speaker 2: a whole bunch of guys from that championship team are
- 1:17:47Speaker 2: gonna be here. They're gonna be in a suite together,
- 1:17:49Speaker 2: they're gonna be on the field before the game. Kind
- 1:17:51Speaker 2: of feel like, can you feel like maybe the Super
- 1:17:53Speaker 2: Bowl team whoever's in town, like a whole group of
- 1:17:56Speaker 2: them up there. No, No, he's been one guy. No,
- 1:18:00Speaker 2: it's gonna be one gal. Who oh, Jody, Yeah, you
- 1:18:02Speaker 2: know it's gonna be Jody Allen thousand percent. You think
