Set 2: Glenn Powell: Overrated (w/ Brock Huard) · Stugotz and Company

• 0:21
  Speaker 1: Rock, you are going to join us in just a
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: minute here, five minutes from now. He has the biggest
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: show going in Seattle. We'll talk to him about the Seahawks,
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: the health of Sam Darnold. But after just one football game,
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: an argument is broken out. I have no idea what
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: Mikey A. and Taylor are arguing about. I have an
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: idea that it's not about football because, you know, We've
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: already had those arguments.
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: What are you guys discussing? What is going on with
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: the two of you?
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: So it's tangentially about football because I was saying I'm
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: watching TV last night and I see a preview for
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: a TV show. And the second the preview comes on,
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: I go, okay, right away I could tell this show's
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: not for me.
• 0:55
  Speaker 4: Yep.
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: It's Hulu's new TV series. chad powers starring glenn powell
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: a disgraced college quarterback who adopts a fake identity to
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: play football again and it's basically just the skit of
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: eli manning where eli manning dressed up as chad powers
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: and now glenn powell is bringing it to tv.
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: And you have issues with this yeah.
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: I don't really have issues per se but i could
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: just see the previews and see glenn powell as an
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: actor glenn powell pretty overrated as an actor in my opinion.
• 1:24
  Speaker 5: At least Okay, see, this is where we got into it.
• 1:28
  Speaker 5: First off, Taylor introduced the whole thing with Mikey A.
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: I've seen a.
• 1:32
  Speaker 5: Preview for a show that I can 100% tell you
• 1:35
  Speaker 5: is not for me. And then he said it was
• 1:38
  Speaker 5: Chad Powers. And now I haven't seen the show either.
• 1:41
  Speaker 5: But if the synopsis, the first thing you're going to
• 1:43
  Speaker 5: say in the synopsis of the show is college football,
• 1:47
  Speaker 5: you can't dismiss it that quickly, Taylor. You are college football.
• 1:50
  Speaker 5: You can't dismiss a show that parodies a little bit
• 1:53
  Speaker 5: of college football. And what's with all the Glenn Powell hate?
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: Put it on the poll. He's fine. No, put it
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: on the poll. Glenn Powell, overrated. Yep, that's it. Just
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: like that. Overrated. Yes or no.
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: So Mikey's whole argument with Glenn Powell being a good
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: actor was he was good in Top Gun Maverick. But
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: in Top Gun Maverick... He was perfect in Top Gun Maverick. Yeah,
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: but he's not the star in Top Gun Maverick. He's
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: not even.
• 2:13
  Speaker 4: He doesn't have.
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: It's Tom Cruise, then the airplanes. That's it. And Miles Teller.
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: Miles Teller is clearly out of Glenn Powell, too. Glenn Powell.
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: He's a fine actor, but Glenn Powell is not your
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: starring role actor. If you have seen the movie Anyone
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: But You starring Glenn Powell and Sidney Sweeney, one of
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: the worst movies I've ever seen.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: Mikey, he's right.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: They could have casted just about anybody as Goose's son
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: in Top Gun Maverick and it would have worked.
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: I mean, he's in a plane. He's in a fighter.
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: He's a fighter pilot for crying out loud. Spoilers here.
• 2:48
  Speaker 5: He doesn't play Goose's son.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: Miles Teller plays Goose's son. That's right.
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: My bad.
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry.
• 2:52
  Speaker 5: And I would argue the nuanced layer to it is
• 2:56
  Speaker 5: that Glenn Powell plays a younger version of what Tom
• 3:01
  Speaker 5: Cruise was in the original 80s movie. Yes. So it's
• 3:04
  Speaker 5: him trying to deal with himself as a younger. That's
• 3:07
  Speaker 5: just reading really into it. And as far as the.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: No, you're right, though. He was like Val Kilmer in
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: the original Top Gun. He was the asshole who didn't
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: believe in Tom Cruise.
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: Right. Yes. Yep.
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: Exactly.
• 3:18
  Speaker 5: And the Glenn Powell-Sidney Sweeney movie, that's a movie you
• 3:21
  Speaker 5: watch on mute. You don't need to listen to that.
• 3:24
  Speaker 5: They're just two very good-looking people, and that's all you
• 3:26
  Speaker 5: need to do is just watch those two on mute.
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: Okay?
• 3:29
  Speaker 5: That's your fault for watching it.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: What is your exact argument, though, that Taylor needs to
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: give this a chance because the show is about college
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: football and he is college football?
• 3:40
  Speaker 5: I don't like him dismissing a show based on college football,
• 3:44
  Speaker 5: either tangentially as... a show that is a hundred percent
• 3:48
  Speaker 5: not for me.
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: It's such a dumb premise though. Like, Oh, this college quarterback,
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: all of a sudden he goes to the makeup room
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: and he puts on a prosthetic nose. Like if Arch
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: Manning tried to come back next year to play college
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: football for a different team and he just showed up
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: with a prosthetic nose and everybody was like, oh my God,
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: who is that? We know it's Arch Manning because of
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: the way his arm is slinging the football around. It's
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: a stupid premise.
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: For the show. I wouldn't be surprised if kids start
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: doing that and go to LSU. I was going to say,
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: apparently they don't have to anymore. They just have to
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: go to LSU. Or find a judge.
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: It's just here comes Diego Pavia wearing a wig.
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: Yes. No one notices. Watch the same show with Diego Pavia.
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: You're hooked. Taylor, maybe, maybe now. Did we talk into it?
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: Perhaps.
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: No, it's just, my problem is just going to ultimately
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: come down to Glenn Powell. Glenn Powell overrated. I don't
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: need to see.
• 4:43
  Speaker 5: Anything Glenn Powell's in.
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: Listen, I'll meet you halfway. He's a good other guy.
• 4:49
  Speaker 5: He can't be your star. If you tell me it's
• 4:52
  Speaker 5: this guy and this guy and Glenn Powell, I'm in.
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: The next time I see Glenn Powell in a movie
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: as the leading role play a good performance will be
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: the first time.
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: How about that?
• 5:02
  Speaker 6: Fair.
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: He's not a leading man. He's not.
• 5:08
  Speaker 5: Running man was okay.
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: Right. But he's Drew Locke, is what he's saying, essentially.
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: He's the backup quarterback that comes in a couple times
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: a season. You're like, man, Glenn Powell, if he ever
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: got a chance to be the star, would really take over.
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: And then he gets his chance to be the star,
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: and you're like, oof.
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: We saw why he's the backup quarterback.
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: So he's Matt Flynn. He also picked terrible, terrible, terrible roles.
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: We will not ask Brock Eward about this. Next.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: Very excited to have Brock Eward with us. This man
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: is a monster in Seattle. Brock and Salk, they have
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: the biggest radio show going. They just had a conversation
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: with Seahawks head coach Mike McDonald.
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: The big show in town, man. Gets the head coach
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: the day after the game. How was that conversation with
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: Coach McDonald, Brock?
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: You know, Stu, it has come a long ways.
• 6:08
  Speaker 6: So we had had Coach Carroll for like a dozen years.
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: And, you know, Coach Carroll.
• 6:14
  Speaker 6: You see him up and he loves to go and
• 6:17
  Speaker 6: maybe over shares like the president of communications.
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: Dave Pearson is always in that room with us.
• 6:24
  Speaker 6: And there'll be many times you look at Pete and like, oh,
• 6:27
  Speaker 6: And coach McDonald kind of the inverse, everything stays in there.
• 6:35
  Speaker 6: We've had upwards of 17 second pauses on live radio.
• 6:39
  Speaker 6: So a very thoughtful, thinks through everything processes. You see
• 6:44
  Speaker 6: it on their sideline demeanor as well between Pete and Mike.
• 6:47
  Speaker 6: Couldn't be any more different. But over the years, we've gained,
• 6:51
  Speaker 6: I think, a little bit equity and trust with Mike.
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: And you felt him on Hard Knocks, right?
• 6:56
  Speaker 6: Y'all got to see him behind the scenes and just
• 6:59
  Speaker 6: the most genuine, vulnerable, like just authentic guy there is
• 7:04
  Speaker 6: and super comfortable in his skin now communicating.
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: And he was pretty pumped for finding a way, right?
• 7:10
  Speaker 6: I mean, last night was finding a way when it
• 7:12
  Speaker 6: looked a little bleak at times, when it was hard,
• 7:15
  Speaker 6: when there's backups happening. playing and backups in the secondary
• 7:18
  Speaker 6: and backup a quarterback.
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: But, man, they got proof of concept.
• 7:22
  Speaker 6: They believe in their ready squad mentality, and I think
• 7:25
  Speaker 6: it came to life last night.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: Brock, what did Coach have to say about Sam Darnold,
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: about that injury, and about how long he's expecting Sam
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: to be out?
• 7:35
  Speaker 6: Yeah, so I think on the scale of like most
• 7:38
  Speaker 6: horrific news, Bo Jackson, broken hip, career-threatening, that's a 0% chance.
• 7:45
  Speaker 6: On the chance of it's just a hip pointer, a
• 7:48
  Speaker 6: little tweak muscle, he's back next week, that's probably also
• 7:52
  Speaker 6: like a 0% chance. But there's nothing structural. There's nothing fractured.
• 7:57
  Speaker 6: Adam reported that last night, Schefter. And then he's had
• 8:01
  Speaker 6: the MRI this morning, and Coach just kind of shared
• 8:03
  Speaker 6: with us that– It is more muscular, kind of ligament muscular,
• 8:07
  Speaker 6: and you don't really know. But as far as, like,
• 8:10
  Speaker 6: worst case, they dodged that.
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: And that's good news for Sam and the team.
• 8:16
  Speaker 6: Now it's like, okay, how quickly does the swelling, the pain,
• 8:19
  Speaker 6: the functionality, you know, how quickly does all of that
• 8:23
  Speaker 6: resolve itself? You just don't, you know, with that joint
• 8:25
  Speaker 6: in particular, you just don't know. I probably doubtful for
• 8:29
  Speaker 6: 11 days from now with Arizona, but I don't think
• 8:32
  Speaker 6: it's going to be something hopefully that stretches into the
• 8:35
  Speaker 6: month long period.
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: Brock, I didn't think we were going to see a
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: repeat from the Super Bowl with Drake May just because
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: of the moving pieces that Seattle had on defense. What
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: is it about Mike McDonald's defense where every time Drake
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: May drops back, it seems like he's second guessing what
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: he's seeing out there.
• 8:52
  Speaker 6: Because everything is hard. Everything is hard, unless you're Matthew Stafford.
• 8:58
  Speaker 6: For every other quarterback, everything is pre-snap, post-snap. What am
• 9:03
  Speaker 6: I looking at? What am I seeing? We had kind
• 9:06
  Speaker 6: of a fun exercise this offseason through some relationship with
• 9:10
  Speaker 6: Phillip Rivers and Kirk Cousins to get them to come
• 9:13
  Speaker 6: onto our show and try to bring to life how
• 9:17
  Speaker 6: difficult it is to play Mike's scheme. And Phillip was amazing.
• 9:21
  Speaker 6: I mean, he was so funny. His little Southern deal, like, man,
• 9:25
  Speaker 6: they just don't give you anything. Like, you just don't,
• 9:27
  Speaker 6: you know, there's no tell. There's no, you know, usually
• 9:31
  Speaker 6: somebody gives you something on defense.
• 9:33
  Speaker 4: Maybe it's the safety, but they don't.
• 9:36
  Speaker 6: You know, they're disguised and it's so, so hard on
• 9:40
  Speaker 6: a quarterback, even ones with decades of experience. And then
• 9:44
  Speaker 6: you get someone like Dre that is still in this system, right?
• 9:48
  Speaker 4: One year under his belt and they had answers in
• 9:51
  Speaker 4: the first half, right?
• 9:52
  Speaker 6: I thought Collinsworth did an awesome job of like, here,
• 9:55
  Speaker 6: they're going to throw into the pressure. McDonald talked to
• 9:58
  Speaker 6: us this morning about it. Like, yeah, they made a
• 10:01
  Speaker 6: You know, they handled their protections differently. They made some adjustments.
• 10:04
  Speaker 6: They had answers in that first half. And it forced
• 10:07
  Speaker 6: Mike and staff to then change. And when they adjusted,
• 10:11
  Speaker 6: Drake and staff could not adjust because there just were
• 10:14
  Speaker 6: not answers. And you started to see the same look
• 10:16
  Speaker 6: in his face, the same demeanor in his body that
• 10:20
  Speaker 6: you saw in that Super Bowl of holy crap. I
• 10:23
  Speaker 6: don't know what I'm looking at. And I'm making like
• 10:25
  Speaker 6: juvenile mistakes. I'm throwing late in a double coverage. I'm
• 10:29
  Speaker 6: throwing late down the seam. And then the final interception
• 10:32
  Speaker 6: was just, I mean, inexcusable for any level of football
• 10:35
  Speaker 6: and quarterback play.
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: You mentioned any level of football. I'm going to play
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: some sound for you. I just want you to break
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: it down after you hear it. This is postgame after
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: the Patriots-Seahawks game, talking about high school football and Drake
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: May's play.
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: Listen to this. This is how you do it locally, okay?
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: After your team has made it to a Super Bowl,
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: Drake May has taken you to a Super Bowl, but
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: you start the season 0-1 and lose a game you
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: probably should have won.
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: This is how you do it. Play it.
• 11:01
  Speaker 7: They tried to hide him all night long with high
• 11:04
  Speaker 7: school plays, with the Zavarian playbook.
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: High school.
• 11:08
  Speaker 7: Swing pass, little runs, roll outs to nowhere. High school football.
• 11:14
  Speaker 7: The second he had to make NFL plays or throws,
• 11:17
  Speaker 7: he was screwed.
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: He couldn't do it.
• 11:19
  Speaker 7: He made one NFL throw all night. That was to
• 11:21
  Speaker 7: Hollins on one of the third downs. That was a
• 11:23
  Speaker 7: little bit deep on an in-cut nice timing.
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: He made high school plays all night long.
• 11:29
  Speaker 7: That's what happened. And he could not step up. And
• 11:32
  Speaker 7: that throw to end the game was disgusting. That was
• 11:35
  Speaker 7: incomprehensible and disgusting. To even put the ball with that
• 11:40
  Speaker 7: much air under it in that situation.
• 11:42
  Speaker 4: It was befuddling.
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: That was a joke. You cannot do that.
• 11:46
  Speaker 7: He blew this game, and he was bad all night.
• 11:49
  Speaker 7: I thought the only thing he produced all night was
• 11:52
  Speaker 7: high school-level plays.
• 11:53
  Speaker 4: High school, science class, chemistry.
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: It was awful. I see you laughing, Brock Eward. Yeah.
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 12:01
  Speaker 6: Well, a few things, number one, the Hasselbeck brothers who
• 12:05
  Speaker 6: went to the very end brothers, like they're pissed about that.
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 12:08
  Speaker 6: We didn't do that as it does the very end.
• 12:10
  Speaker 4: So don't throw us under the bus there, Paul. That's
• 12:12
  Speaker 4: number one.
• 12:13
  Speaker 6: Number two, that kind of channels Paul Allen from the
• 12:17
  Speaker 6: Minnesota radio and far through that interception, the NFC title game.
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 12:21
  Speaker 4: Remember he lost his ever loving mind.
• 12:26
  Speaker 6: Couldn't believe that throw of Brett Favre in that moment.
• 12:30
  Speaker 4: So those two things come to mind.
• 12:32
  Speaker 6: And I would say this like Drake Mays legs were
• 12:35
  Speaker 6: a big reason why they controlled the first three quarters.
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 12:38
  Speaker 6: He ran seven times for 47 yards. He scrambled on
• 12:42
  Speaker 6: a fourth down. He beat a third down edge. He
• 12:45
  Speaker 6: made Seattle a little bit uncomfortable with his legs. And
• 12:48
  Speaker 6: he deserves some credit for that because that slowed the
• 12:51
  Speaker 6: guys down. But then, as I said, when Seattle adjusted,
• 12:55
  Speaker 6: when they kept him in the pocket, when those checkdowns
• 12:57
  Speaker 6: turned into collisions. when there's people now covering the little screens,
• 13:01
  Speaker 6: which they didn't do in the first half. Well, once
• 13:04
  Speaker 6: that happens, then the wires got busted. Then the game again,
• 13:07
  Speaker 6: sped up on him in a way where, Hey man,
• 13:09
  Speaker 6: if you play the position and I have, there's games
• 13:12
  Speaker 6: and moments where it just blurs where like, I have
• 13:15
  Speaker 6: amazing clarity. It's slowed down. And now it's like, Holy crap.
• 13:20
  Speaker 6: Everything is a blur. It's sped up on me. I
• 13:22
  Speaker 6: don't know what I'm seeing. And yeah, you lead to
• 13:25
  Speaker 6: some decisions in that fourth quarter that were incomprehensible.
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: How much do you love tucked away there in the Northwest,
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: making the city of Boston that angry?
• 13:34
  Speaker 4: Well, he did it twice in seven months, right?
• 13:37
  Speaker 6: You know, a little payback for freaking Malcolm Butler because
• 13:40
  Speaker 6: he made us a little miserable for about, I don't know,
• 13:43
  Speaker 6: 10 years. So it took the Super Bowl 60 and
• 13:46
  Speaker 6: seven months later, this one to kind of wash that
• 13:49
  Speaker 6: taste out of our mouth.
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: Brock, with how competitive you would imagine the NFC West
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: is going to be with the Seahawks, the 49ers, and
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: the Rams, Where's your level of confidence if Sam Darnold
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: is to miss an extended period of time that Drew
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: Locke can keep this team afloat and in playoff contention?
• 14:07
  Speaker 4: Yeah. You know, it's, it's, it's funny guys.
• 14:09
  Speaker 6: Cause I actually thought also of my older brother, Damon, Damon,
• 14:15
  Speaker 6: you know, played 12 years in the league. He backed
• 14:17
  Speaker 6: up Marino, Marino goes down and I think they went
• 14:19
  Speaker 6: five and one with Jimmy Johnson and that great defense.
• 14:23
  Speaker 6: And then Damon later on was in Kansas city when
• 14:26
  Speaker 6: Trent green, like almost died on the field. If you
• 14:29
  Speaker 6: remember that hit like the worst, most gruesome, he was
• 14:31
  Speaker 6: like unconscious on the field. Like it was catastrophic. And
• 14:35
  Speaker 6: I think missed the rest of the year. And Damon
• 14:38
  Speaker 6: came in and played unbelievable ball. Like he was a
• 14:40
  Speaker 6: second rated QB in the league that year. And he
• 14:43
  Speaker 6: would say to you, you know, it made it nice.
• 14:45
  Speaker 6: Tony Gonzalez and priest Holmes and Will Shields and Dick Vermeule.
• 14:50
  Speaker 6: And like, he got to play in some freedom that
• 14:52
  Speaker 6: he never like experienced. Like, this is really cool. And
• 14:56
  Speaker 6: I think, you know, for a drew lock, this is
• 14:58
  Speaker 6: the first time now in his seven years where I
• 15:01
  Speaker 6: got JSN. Like I can throw him a hitch route
• 15:04
  Speaker 6: and he takes it 50. I got a defense that
• 15:07
  Speaker 6: can give me the ball over and over again and
• 15:09
  Speaker 6: field position. And I just thought you felt Drew's confidence
• 15:13
  Speaker 6: in that second half is just, you know, now the
• 15:16
  Speaker 6: play calling the operation, trying to spit it out, trying
• 15:19
  Speaker 6: to read his wristband that looked like the cheesecake factory menu.
• 15:22
  Speaker 6: Like he wasn't doing too good on some of that,
• 15:25
  Speaker 6: but I think there's a confidence level, both both personally
• 15:29
  Speaker 6: for drew and then collectively for the team, like, man,
• 15:32
  Speaker 6: this is kind of cool.
• 15:33
  Speaker 4: Like I don't have to do a million things.
• 15:35
  Speaker 6: If I make five or six great plays a game
• 15:37
  Speaker 6: and I don't turn it over, we have a chance
• 15:39
  Speaker 6: to win.
• 15:39
  Speaker 4: And so yeah, short-term, I don't think a big deal.
• 15:43
  Speaker 6: If it was a fractured hip and it was a
• 15:45
  Speaker 6: long-term conversation, then sure. You're talking about, you know, Matthew
• 15:49
  Speaker 6: Stafford and Brock Purdy and Shanahan McVay, and we'll all
• 15:52
  Speaker 6: get to watch them in Australia tonight.
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: Does it bother Seattle fans, the callers to your show,
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: the fact that all we're doing this offseason is talking
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: about the Rams and not talking about the team that
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: beat the Rams to get to the Super Bowl?
• 16:06
  Speaker 4: Yes, I think hard knocks helped. But I think hard
• 16:09
  Speaker 4: knocks helped, right? Like, yes.
• 16:11
  Speaker 6: I think through March and April and, oh, Miles Garrett. Oh,
• 16:15
  Speaker 6: Aaron Donald.
• 16:16
  Speaker 4: Like, great. But then, and I knew this was what happens, Stu.
• 16:21
  Speaker 4: I knew this.
• 16:22
  Speaker 6: And I was talking about it. I'm like, you know
• 16:24
  Speaker 6: what's going to happen. Once the world gets to see
• 16:28
  Speaker 6: and gets a taste and gets a reminder of Leonard Williams, JSN,
• 16:33
  Speaker 6: Sam Darnold, Mike McDonald, John Schneider inside the walls, you know,
• 16:38
  Speaker 6: what's going to happen. And sure enough, it did all
• 16:40
  Speaker 6: of a sudden Pat McAfee is like, Oh yeah.
• 16:43
  Speaker 4: See our Superbowl team. Like, yeah, I know. I know.
• 16:47
  Speaker 4: Like they won it last year. They're really, really good.
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 16:49
  Speaker 4: You know, Nick, Nick, right. Oh yeah. But it takes
• 16:53
  Speaker 4: that exposure.
• 16:54
  Speaker 7: It does.
• 16:54
  Speaker 6: It takes seeing it, feeling it, watching it like, Oh yeah,
• 16:58
  Speaker 6: those are some bad dudes up in Seattle and man,
• 17:00
  Speaker 6: are they connected with one another too?
• 17:03
  Speaker 5: Brock, I was just curious, you know, with all that
• 17:05
  Speaker 5: good Seattle energy, what would you say to somebody who
• 17:09
  Speaker 5: maybe picked the Seahawks not only to not repeat a
• 17:11
  Speaker 5: Super Bowl champion, but to completely miss the playoff?
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: That was me, Brock. I was doing a sports radio thing.
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: I was hot takes before the season. You know, you
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: got to take a team, you know, you know. Not
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: all the teams that made the playoffs last year are
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: going to make it this year.
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: Teams that missed it are going to make it this year.
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: You know that. It's like six per season.
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: And I just went out on a limb and I
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: said the Seahawks not making it.
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: It actually looks good now with a Darnold injury.
• 17:34
  Speaker 4: Sure. Yeah, I'm sure. Five plays in, you took a shot.
• 17:37
  Speaker 4: We're like, yeah, I am smart. Yeah, I got this
• 17:41
  Speaker 4: one right.
• 17:42
  Speaker 6: Make sure Mike, you got that audio of me.
• 17:45
  Speaker 4: I was right on that. I knew it.
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: Are you saying I was celebrating Darnold's injury?
• 17:52
  Speaker 6: I mean, I'd say that, but it looked a little
• 17:57
  Speaker 6: bleak in that moment. I would say, here's the thing.
• 18:00
  Speaker 6: And this is something that like, It's not great for
• 18:03
  Speaker 6: sports radio. It's not possible for national television. I understand it. Like,
• 18:08
  Speaker 6: it's impossible to know the teams nationally as well as
• 18:12
  Speaker 6: we all do locally, live and breathe in all of it. Like,
• 18:14
  Speaker 6: we know the 70th man on the roster. Like, who
• 18:17
  Speaker 6: knows that? Well, we do because the Seahawks preach that. Like,
• 18:21
  Speaker 6: that's where, you know... When Pete Carroll went to USC,
• 18:26
  Speaker 6: you guys remember this way back when, the early 2000s,
• 18:29
  Speaker 6: he changed the college football landscape because he said, you
• 18:32
  Speaker 6: know what we're going to do?
• 18:33
  Speaker 4: We're going to play freshmen. And I don't care.
• 18:36
  Speaker 6: You know, in my era, the 90, we win with
• 18:40
  Speaker 6: 23-year-olds with hair on their chest, not 18-year-olds out of
• 18:42
  Speaker 6: high school.
• 18:43
  Speaker 4: So we redshirt everybody. We develop.
• 18:45
  Speaker 6: And those are the programs that win national titles. And
• 18:48
  Speaker 6: Pete was like, heck with that. If this 18-year-old's better
• 18:51
  Speaker 6: and he's ready to play, we're playing them. And we
• 18:53
  Speaker 6: may take a few lumps, but we're going to win
• 18:55
  Speaker 6: and develop. And it changed it, and it really did.
• 18:58
  Speaker 6: And everybody went, man, that's pretty good, Pete. That's pretty
• 19:00
  Speaker 6: good genius. And I would say that John Schneider and
• 19:05
  Speaker 6: the Seahawks and Mike are like, we're going to shift
• 19:07
  Speaker 6: this practice squad, this taxi squad, these backups.
• 19:11
  Speaker 4: We don't have that.
• 19:12
  Speaker 6: We like got the ready squad. If you're one of 70,
• 19:16
  Speaker 6: you're ready. And you look last year at those 17
• 19:19
  Speaker 6: wins they had.
• 19:20
  Speaker 4: It was chock.
• 19:21
  Speaker 6: Full of players, 53 through 70 who made significant plays
• 19:25
  Speaker 6: week to week 10 playoff games, George Halani, third string
• 19:30
  Speaker 6: running back. You're going to be ready last night.
• 19:32
  Speaker 4: Drew drew.
• 19:33
  Speaker 6: You're going to be ready last night. Nehemiah Pritchett, Rodney
• 19:36
  Speaker 6: Thomas starters thrust in there.
• 19:38
  Speaker 4: You guys are going to be ready. And they believe that.
• 19:41
  Speaker 4: It's not just talk. They really substantially believe it.
• 19:44
  Speaker 6: And in an era where it's all about attrition, with
• 19:47
  Speaker 6: who's left standing, who's not hurting the end of the year,
• 19:51
  Speaker 6: when you have 70 instead of 53, it gives you
• 19:54
  Speaker 6: a little bit more margin than the rest.
• 19:57
  Speaker 4: Brock.
• 19:57
  Speaker 3: I know one thing that Seattle fans weren't happy with
• 19:59
  Speaker 3: last night was the, the offsides call on the tush push.
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: Because when you look back at the replay, it didn't
• 20:05
  Speaker 3: look like anybody was offside, but Do you think this
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: is just foreshadowing the NFL trying to legislate the tush
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: push out of the game? Because if so, I'm kind
• 20:13
  Speaker 3: of a fan of that and getting it out of
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: the Eagles' playbook.
• 20:18
  Speaker 6: You know, Taylor, that's exactly what I tweeted. And I
• 20:20
  Speaker 6: think my mind went with not just Seahawks, but I
• 20:23
  Speaker 6: think a lot of folks like, okay, if the competition
• 20:26
  Speaker 6: committee didn't want to do this, which I get, I
• 20:28
  Speaker 6: don't really want the competition committee to be voting on
• 20:31
  Speaker 6: this and coaches, whatever, like that.
• 20:34
  Speaker 4: This is a.
• 20:34
  Speaker 6: Way to say, you know what, let's really study every
• 20:37
  Speaker 6: nitty gritty little blade of grass. And if that player
• 20:42
  Speaker 6: is in any part in that neutral zone, like we're
• 20:45
  Speaker 6: going to find a way to flag it and take
• 20:47
  Speaker 6: them out of it. So, yeah, I think this will
• 20:49
  Speaker 6: be worth watching with Philly and Seattle and some of
• 20:52
  Speaker 6: the teams that have started to major in that a
• 20:54
  Speaker 6: little bit, because that's one way to do it. Like
• 20:56
  Speaker 6: you ain't running that on fourth and six. If you
• 20:59
  Speaker 6: want to on the field, hold it to the very
• 21:01
  Speaker 6: end degree and every last little blade of grass, that
• 21:05
  Speaker 6: might be a way for them to do it.
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: Brock, we'll get you out of here in a second.
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: I love the way the team operates. Schneider has so
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: much confidence. Kenneth Walker wins a Super Bowl MVP. They're like, hey,
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: you're good. You're a great player. Thank you for the contributions.
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: Off to Kansas City. We'll take Jadarian Price. And that's
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: where I was headed with Mikey A before, before he
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: embarrassed me. And I'm glad that he did. Mikey really
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: was impressed with Jadarian Price. I was impressed with Jadarian Price.
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: He needs to get the ball more, no?
• 21:33
  Speaker 4: He does.
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 21:34
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 21:34
  Speaker 6: We asked coach to fill in the blank because we
• 21:37
  Speaker 6: did it with some listeners and Mike and our producer
• 21:40
  Speaker 6: like Jadarian Price was fill in the blank. And for me,
• 21:44
  Speaker 6: it was like powerful. There was not a run. He
• 21:47
  Speaker 6: was knocked on his butt. There was not a run
• 21:49
  Speaker 6: that he didn't carry somebody forward. There was not a
• 21:51
  Speaker 6: run that was a little murky and he made more
• 21:54
  Speaker 6: out of less. So he was a lot of power.
• 21:56
  Speaker 6: Our producer, Maura, said the exact thing that Mike McDonald
• 22:00
  Speaker 6: did when he answered.
• 22:00
  Speaker 4: He said decisive. He was just decisive.
• 22:03
  Speaker 6: Like that's the first time getting hit in the NFL
• 22:05
  Speaker 6: game to the ground, right? That's the first time playing
• 22:08
  Speaker 6: at that speed on a primetime game with the whole
• 22:11
  Speaker 6: country watching the NFL. And he was right. They have
• 22:14
  Speaker 6: landmarks on outside zone, man. You got to hit the
• 22:17
  Speaker 6: outside butt cheek of the tight end. He was right
• 22:19
  Speaker 6: on his landmark foot in the ground.
• 22:21
  Speaker 4: Go.
• 22:22
  Speaker 6: He's got to catch a ball, you know, on a,
• 22:23
  Speaker 6: on a hot, he caught it. He's got to run
• 22:25
  Speaker 6: into darkness and make a two yard gain instead of.
• 22:28
  Speaker 4: A negative one.
• 22:29
  Speaker 6: So yeah, 10 for 52. I think it was purposeful
• 22:32
  Speaker 6: to kind of limit some of that early. They were
• 22:35
  Speaker 6: not going to put the big burden on him, but yeah,
• 22:37
  Speaker 6: he did nothing to, to not be worthy of that
• 22:41
  Speaker 6: 32nd pick in the draft and instill some confidence in
• 22:43
  Speaker 6: the people around him.
• 22:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: It looked really good. What'd you make quickly on the
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: way out here? of McCready's National Anthem.
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: What'd you make of that?
• 22:50
  Speaker 4: Solid. Oh, solid.
• 22:51
  Speaker 6: I mean, it wasn't Jimmy, right? It wasn't Jimmy. That
• 22:55
  Speaker 6: was an ode to Jimmy back in the day. You know,
• 22:57
  Speaker 6: it wasn't Jimmy, but he, yeah, even up there in
• 23:00
  Speaker 6: some years, he's pretty good. And so was Soundgarden at halftime,
• 23:03
  Speaker 6: by the way. They kind of brought it too.
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: No, they're awesome.
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: Taylor wants vocals for the national anthem. How do you
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: feel about that? He doesn't like the electric guitar.
• 23:09
  Speaker 4: I understand it. I understand it.
• 23:11
  Speaker 6: And frankly, you know, I thought Stapleton pushed Whitney Houston,
• 23:14
  Speaker 6: like all-time greats. I thought Stapleton Super Bowl was....
• 23:19
  Speaker 4: I wouldn't mind hearing that a time or two.
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: All right, Brock and Salk. Biggest show going in Seattle.
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: We appreciate the time. Thank you for the info on
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: your conversation with Mike McDonald. That's supposed to be exclusive
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: to your audience, man.
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 23:34
  Speaker 4: You know what? Maybe Stapleton, thank you, Stu.
• 23:36
  Speaker 6: Maybe Stapleton in Whitney Houston's running outfit.
• 23:41
  Speaker 4: Do that.
• 23:41
  Speaker 6: Just put here, remember her? Her little running suit on
• 23:45
  Speaker 6: Chris Stapleton, and we got the anthem of anthems.
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: I apologize. You were still on the anthem. I'm so sorry.
• 23:51
  Speaker 7: Yes.
• 23:52
  Speaker 4: All good.
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: You'll be thinking about it all day. Congratulations, you're 1-0,
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: and you pissed off Boston.
• 23:58
  Speaker 4: Thank you.
