1:09
Speaker 3: My name is Chuck Powell. We've got you till ten o'clock.
1:11
Speaker 3: And almost everything we're going to talk about is Seahawks
1:14
Speaker 3: are related. So let us just squeeze in our McDelivery
1:18
Speaker 3: of the game. Last night's top call from the KRACK

1:36
Speaker 3: one over the Philadelphia Flyers. They've won four straight games.
1:40
Speaker 3: They will take on Vancouver tonight at seven o'clock, so
1:43
Speaker 3: it is a game day for the Cracking to try
1:45
Speaker 3: to make it five in a row, and it will
1:48
Speaker 3: be at home against the rival Canucks. Hot stove and
1:52
Speaker 3: quiet over the weekend. But nonetheless, there are some warm
1:57
Speaker 3: rumors out there about how Jerry Depoto and Justin are
2:01
Speaker 3: you kicking a lot of tires out there and trying
2:04
Speaker 3: to make another significant move for a bat sometime soon
2:08
Speaker 3: and certainly before the offseason comes to a close. So
2:12
Speaker 3: that's interesting. College football, the playoff resumes Wednesday, New Year's
2:18
Speaker 3: Eve at four point thirty. The first game will be
2:20
Speaker 3: Miami versus Ohio State, and then three games on New
2:24
Speaker 3: Year's Day. Kyle Whittingham, it was a big cop topic
2:28
Speaker 3: of conversation between Ashley and I on Friday show. We
2:32
Speaker 3: were just hearing that he had become the front runner
2:35
Speaker 3: for the job. Since that show, he did get the job.
2:39
Speaker 3: So he is the new head coach at Michigan, coming
2:41
Speaker 3: out of a very brief retirement to become the next
2:44
Speaker 3: head coach of the Michigan Wolverine, said Kyle whitting him.
2:48
Speaker 3: This is the last thing that I setting out to
2:50
Speaker 3: achieve in my career is try to win a national championship,
2:54
Speaker 3: and I've got a chance to do that at Michigan.
2:56
Speaker 3: And then, of course you've got the National Football League.
3:00
Speaker 3: My goodness, it is wonderful theater, is it not? The
3:03
Speaker 3: National Football League. They do a really good job of entertainments.
3:08
Speaker 5: They've figured out I would think the formula somehow of
3:13
Speaker 5: how to script all these games too, be so great.
3:16
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, exactly. Seahawks win over the Carolina Panthers twenty
3:20
Speaker 3: seven to ten. Unfortunately, it wasn't that easy. If not
3:23
Speaker 3: for Mike McDonald's defense, this could have been a problem yesterday.
3:28
Speaker 3: But we do have Mike McDonald's defense. They held the
3:32
Speaker 3: Carolina Panthers to just one hundred and forty three total
3:35
Speaker 3: yards of offense and then created a couple of turnovers
3:40
Speaker 3: which led to some pretty easy drives and the Seahawks
3:43
Speaker 3: win at twenty seven to ten. They improved a thirteen
3:47
Speaker 3: and three, tying a franchise record for most wins in
3:51
Speaker 3: a regular season. They have a chance to break that
3:53
Speaker 3: record on Saturday night, wrap up the division and get
3:57
Speaker 3: the number one seed in the entire NFC playoffs, which
4:00
Speaker 3: is more important today than ever since they've expanded to
4:04
Speaker 3: fourteen teams. That one seed not only gets home field
4:07
Speaker 3: advantage throughout the NFC playoffs, they don't have to play
4:11
Speaker 3: in the first round at all when everyone else does.
4:16
Speaker 3: And so it's huge and the showcase will be in
4:21
Speaker 3: Santa Clara. It'll be the Seahawks versus the forty nine Ers,
4:25
Speaker 3: who also won yesterday over the Chicago Bears forty two
4:28
Speaker 3: to thirty eight in a shootout, and so the winner
4:31
Speaker 3: of this game will win the division and will take
4:34
Speaker 3: the number one seed. It's as simple as that they
4:37
Speaker 3: have earmarked the game for Saturday at five o'clock so
4:41
Speaker 3: that it can have the entire National Stage two itself.
4:45
Speaker 3: Seahawks forty nine Ers don't get the Sunday night game
4:47
Speaker 3: that'll belong to Baltimore and Pittsburgh. That kickoff will take
4:50
Speaker 3: place at five point twenty, the last game of the
4:52
Speaker 3: regular season. The winner of that game gets into the
4:55
Speaker 3: playoffs as division champs. The loser is out completely. Carolina
5:00
Speaker 3: and Tampa also will be showcased Saturday afternoon is their game.
5:06
Speaker 3: The winner of that game likely moves on. Now there
5:10
Speaker 3: is a wrinkle that if Atlanta wins out, that Carolina
5:16
Speaker 3: can lose and still win the division. Oh yes, so
5:20
Speaker 3: that would require the Falcons to win both because that
5:23
Speaker 3: means all three teams are eight to nine. The Falcons
5:26
Speaker 3: have already been eliminated, but the tiebreaker changes. If there's
5:30
Speaker 3: a three way tie, that the tie breaker would go
5:33
Speaker 3: to Carolina. So there is a chance that Tampa could
5:37
Speaker 3: win that game and still not win the division because
5:40
Speaker 3: Tampa lost yesterday to Miami. So a lot going on
5:45
Speaker 3: certainly in the National Football League, But our focus the Seahawks.
5:49
Speaker 3: We certainly are going to talk about their matchup with
5:51
Speaker 3: the forty nine ers with both of our experts, Hugh
5:54
Speaker 3: Millen and Mike Homgrin in the eight o'clock at nine
5:56
Speaker 3: o'clock hours today, But we haven't even had a chance
5:59
Speaker 3: to see and our teeth in to this Seahawks went
6:02
Speaker 3: over the Carolina Panthers as a show. So we're going
6:06
Speaker 3: to do that right now here on Chuck and Buck.
6:09
Speaker 3: Those are your headlines, brought to you by frost Rude
6:11
Speaker 3: course light Choose chill here on a Choose Chill Monday.
6:15
Speaker 3: So Seahawks get it done. And look, I realized there,
6:19
Speaker 3: I mean, I realize how much more aesthetically pleasing that
6:23
Speaker 3: forty two thirty eight seems. And I don't know why
6:27
Speaker 3: we do this, but we just automatically assume that the
6:31
Speaker 3: teams that make offense look easy are the better teams,
6:36
Speaker 3: when often that is not the case. I mean, a
6:40
Speaker 3: couple of years ago, we were sure the Mariners were
6:42
Speaker 3: a bad team. A lot we weren't, but a lot
6:45
Speaker 3: of people were sure the Mariners were a bad team
6:48
Speaker 3: because they won with pitching and they couldn't score any
6:51
Speaker 3: runs and they still almost made the playoffs. And they
6:54
Speaker 3: were never a bad team, they just weren't all that
6:56
Speaker 3: aesthetically pleasing because they were so offensively challenged. I don't
7:00
Speaker 3: think the Seahawks are an offensively challenged team. The statistics
7:04
Speaker 3: over the course of sixteen games bear out that they
7:07
Speaker 3: are not. But certainly they were yesterday. To me, that
7:11
Speaker 3: was Sam Donald's biggest struggle. I know he threw four
7:13
Speaker 3: interceptions against the Rams earlier this year, but he had
7:16
Speaker 3: a lot of big plays in that game. Yesterday, it
7:19
Speaker 3: felt like a struggle from beginning to end for the
7:23
Speaker 3: first time for Sam Donald in a Seahawk uniform. And
7:26
Speaker 3: yet and I was glad to hear Coach Bucky say this.
7:29
Speaker 3: Maybe Bucky'll disagree with coach, but when Coach Bucky said,
7:33
Speaker 3: you know, when we're starting to talk about the forty
7:35
Speaker 3: nine ers, it's very easy, I think to go to
7:38
Speaker 3: forty nine ers looked better last night. They're playing better,
7:43
Speaker 3: They're hot. That's what a real one seed looks like.
7:46
Speaker 3: Considering how much the Seahawks kind of clunked things offensively.
7:50
Speaker 3: But I'm glad that it wasn't missed on you, and
7:52
Speaker 3: I hope it's not missed on a lot of other people.
7:55
Speaker 3: There are a lot of different ways to win in
7:56
Speaker 3: the National Football League, and you can win it all
7:59
Speaker 3: with dominant defense and timely offense. And what we saw
8:03
Speaker 3: from the Seahawks yesterday was about as dominant a defensive
8:07
Speaker 3: performance as you can see in the National Football League
8:10
Speaker 3: against a starting quarterback. I mean, maybe you see that
8:13
Speaker 3: against a backup or a third stringer because you're at
8:16
Speaker 3: the end of the year and they're down two quarterbacks.
8:18
Speaker 3: But that was against Bryce Young, who's been lauded this
8:21
Speaker 3: year for how much he's improved. And the Seahawks held
8:25
Speaker 3: them to one hundred and forty three yards of total
8:28
Speaker 3: offense in the game. And when it was clear that
8:31
Speaker 3: Sam was struggling, what did they do. We're gonna take
8:35
Speaker 3: the ball away on consecutive Carolina Panthers possessions, set them
8:41
Speaker 3: up on a short field, and we're gonna we got you. Sam.
8:45
Speaker 3: You're not playing your best right now, but don't worry
8:47
Speaker 3: about it. We're not gonna let this game get away
8:50
Speaker 3: from us. And they just absolutely took it from Carolina.
8:53
Speaker 3: I mean, I've seen a lot of quarterbacks, including Matt Stafford,
8:56
Speaker 3: look confused against Mike McDonald's defense. Bryce Young the cake yesterday.
9:01
Speaker 3: It looked like he had never played football at times
9:03
Speaker 3: during that game yesterday.
9:05
Speaker 5: Well, I mean, coming into that game, it was you kind.
9:08
Speaker 5: I mean, I don't know how everybody else felt coming
9:10
Speaker 5: into it. When you think of the Panthers, they're one
9:13
Speaker 5: of those head scratchers like they'll go out there and
9:15
Speaker 5: beat a good team. They got swept by the New
9:18
Speaker 5: Orleans Saints. Now, maybe the Saints are better since they
9:21
Speaker 5: got the Tyler Shack out in there, and they were
9:23
Speaker 5: horrible at the beginning of the season. So I'll, you know,
9:27
Speaker 5: give them a little bit of credit to the fact
9:29
Speaker 5: that they beat them. But I don't think of the
9:31
Speaker 5: Carolina Panthers as I mean, ultimately, I still kind of
9:34
Speaker 5: think the Rams are the cream of the crop. I mean,
9:38
Speaker 5: they end up going out there and putting what thirty
9:39
Speaker 5: seven points up against the Seahawks defense. That's the first game.
9:43
Speaker 5: He did look somewhat confused. He did look like, whoa
9:46
Speaker 5: what in the heck is he doing? He made the
9:48
Speaker 5: adjustments that it took a whole heck of a lot
9:50
Speaker 5: of things to bounce the way of the Seahawks for
9:52
Speaker 5: them to put themselves in a position they're in right now.
9:55
Speaker 5: But yeah, I think that there's still is the Seahawks
9:58
Speaker 5: defense is legit. I don't think gets anything. You have
10:00
Speaker 5: to say, well, you gave up thirty seven points to
10:03
Speaker 5: the Rams, that means you're not good. No, that's a
10:06
Speaker 5: credit to the Rams and the fact that Matthew Stafford
10:08
Speaker 5: and Pokin Nakua. They can put it on you regardless
10:11
Speaker 5: of who or how good your defense is. I just
10:14
Speaker 5: think when it comes to the Niners, I don't think
10:17
Speaker 5: their defense poses the threat to be much of an
10:21
Speaker 5: issue for the Seahawks offense. So I can see the
10:24
Speaker 5: Seahawks offense going out there and scoring close to thirty
10:27
Speaker 5: against them, and yet I do I have a hard
10:30
Speaker 5: time thinking that.
10:32
Speaker 2: Their offense is.
10:34
Speaker 5: Good enough to score thirty against the Seahawks, even though
10:38
Speaker 5: I think the Rams are.
10:39
Speaker 2: I think the Rams offense is different. I don't think this.
10:42
Speaker 5: I mean, the Niners have Christian McCaffrey, and they have
10:45
Speaker 5: figured out a way to get the ball to a
10:47
Speaker 5: couple other guys, and Rock Perty's playing good football. But
10:50
Speaker 5: I don't feel like they're gonna go out there and
10:52
Speaker 5: put thirty on the Seahawks. And so they do need
10:55
Speaker 5: to kind of make it a little bit ugly to
10:57
Speaker 5: where they're not going out there and putting up big
10:58
Speaker 5: numbers offensively, and I think.
10:59
Speaker 6: They I think the Rams are a more balanced team
11:02
Speaker 6: just offensively and defensively.
11:04
Speaker 4: Defensively, they're a better team.
11:06
Speaker 6: But I was watching that game last night thinking well,
11:09
Speaker 6: I think our defense could I mean, the forty nine
11:12
Speaker 6: ers offense is good, but I didn't see anything spectacular
11:15
Speaker 6: that I thought, you know, our defense could handle. Obviously,
11:17
Speaker 6: Christian McCaffrey is scary, but we have done pretty well
11:21
Speaker 6: and in at least slowing down the run from I mean,
11:24
Speaker 6: Jon Robinson didn't get one hundred yards and he was
11:26
Speaker 6: pretty scary.
11:28
Speaker 4: So we'll see.
11:28
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, yeah, we'll talk more about Seahawks forty nine
11:32
Speaker 3: ers here in a moment. But yes, just a dominant
11:35
Speaker 3: defensive performance for the Seahawks against the Carolina Panthers yesterday,
11:40
Speaker 3: and then that leads you to, all right, so what
11:42
Speaker 3: are we looking at offensively? I mean, we've been talking
11:45
Speaker 3: about this turnover issue with Sam Darnold all year long.
11:48
Speaker 3: We know the statistics, were reminded of them all the
11:51
Speaker 3: time about often he's turned it over, and that typically
11:55
Speaker 3: is a dangerous thing. Hugh and I had a lengthy
11:59
Speaker 3: conversation about Sam Donaldson and x's and o's on Friday.
12:03
Speaker 3: We're both in the let it rip department with Mike McDonald.
12:08
Speaker 3: I mean, I want Sam donald to play aggressively. I
12:11
Speaker 3: don't want him to play like that yesterday. I mean,
12:13
Speaker 3: that was a poor performance and he had the two turnovers,
12:17
Speaker 3: but he probably should have had four in the contest.
12:20
Speaker 3: And so I will agree with the sentiment that you're
12:25
Speaker 3: not gonna win in the tournament if you're going to
12:29
Speaker 3: be minus three turnovers like you were against the Rams
12:33
Speaker 3: in the last game and that crazy comeback. All right,
12:36
Speaker 3: you pulled it off one time, You're not going to
12:39
Speaker 3: be able to do that against the best competition that
12:41
Speaker 3: the world has to offer in consecutive games, three games
12:45
Speaker 3: in a row or maybe four games in a row.
12:48
Speaker 3: God forbid that you would have to play. So he's
12:51
Speaker 3: got to tighten it up. There's no question. The trick
12:54
Speaker 3: to it is tighten it up without sacrificing who you are.
12:59
Speaker 3: And that was sloppy yesterday. That was sloppy from Sam.
13:03
Speaker 3: That's the that's the first time where I'm just like, man,
13:07
Speaker 3: you know that was a Geno Smith interception in the
13:10
Speaker 3: red zone getting picked off by Mike Jackson. And then
13:14
Speaker 3: there was the I realized that the crazy fumble play
13:18
Speaker 3: was weird, but man, you just he turned it into
13:22
Speaker 3: a to use your word, a fiasco, including tackling a
13:26
Speaker 3: three hundred and fifty pound defensive tackle with his throwing
13:29
Speaker 3: shoulder who didn't even have the ball at the time.
13:33
Speaker 3: I mean, he did not play well enough yesterday. And
13:37
Speaker 3: I hope that that is just an isolated incident against
13:42
Speaker 3: the Carolina Panthers, because I don't want to believe that
13:45
Speaker 3: Sam Darnold has a turnover issue. But there's no question
13:48
Speaker 3: this is now a couple games in a row where
13:50
Speaker 3: he's turned the ball off over too frequently. I think
13:53
Speaker 3: he's played a sloppiest here in the last couple of weeks.
13:56
Speaker 3: And you're not gonna be able to get away with
13:57
Speaker 3: that in an NFL tournament, not against the best competition
14:00
Speaker 3: in the world, not four games in a row.
14:02
Speaker 5: No, I mean yeah, because I think your defense can
14:05
Speaker 5: put it on somebody like Bryce Young and make him
14:08
Speaker 5: look futile. And I mean the second that they scored
14:11
Speaker 5: the touchdown to put him up what was a ten
14:13
Speaker 5: to three, I thought, well, that's over. I don't think that.
14:15
Speaker 5: I don't think the Panthers are going to be able
14:16
Speaker 5: to even match the ten, let alone more than ten.
14:20
Speaker 5: And it did kind of come out that way where
14:22
Speaker 5: it's kind of a walk away, but I'm with you,
14:24
Speaker 5: it's you're gonna run into an offense somewhere along the line,
14:28
Speaker 5: could be the Rams, could could be any team out
14:32
Speaker 5: there that is going to be able to put up
14:33
Speaker 5: some points, and so you can't have won the costly
14:37
Speaker 5: turnovers that literally take points off the board. Maybe literally,
14:40
Speaker 5: but the idea of you have at least three points
14:43
Speaker 5: kind of in the bag, especially with your kicker and
14:46
Speaker 5: you're throwing that interception, you're not.
14:47
Speaker 2: Gonna be able to have that.
14:48
Speaker 5: Fumbles are going to happen at times when you're when
14:52
Speaker 5: it's blind side and the guy hit your arm, that's
14:54
Speaker 5: gonna happen. Some of his interceptions have been good passes
14:58
Speaker 5: that clank off hands and go into defenders. So I
15:02
Speaker 5: think that Hugh does a good job explaining it. We
15:05
Speaker 5: all discuss it where it's like that wasn't that bad,
15:07
Speaker 5: but like that one down in the end zone, that's
15:10
Speaker 5: not good. Bad, Yeah, that's not good. There's times when
15:13
Speaker 5: he does make mistakes, and now I think that there's
15:17
Speaker 5: two ways of looking at these things. Sometimes where it's like, Okay,
15:20
Speaker 5: you got a good defense, just don't turn the ball over.
15:23
Speaker 5: Just don't give them short fields to make your defense's
15:26
Speaker 5: job more difficult. Make them drive the whole length of
15:29
Speaker 5: the field. But the offense is also good enough at
15:31
Speaker 5: times where it's like, let it rip. And if at
15:34
Speaker 5: times you make a pass down the field and it's
15:36
Speaker 5: a turnover and they get the ball their own thirty
15:39
Speaker 5: yard line, we feel okay about that, you know what
15:41
Speaker 5: I mean. So it's like, don't turn the ball over
15:43
Speaker 5: when you have points on the board, don't turn the
15:44
Speaker 5: ball over when you're backed up against your own end
15:46
Speaker 5: zone where essentially they automatically have points on the board.
15:51
Speaker 5: But all of that between the twenties, let that thing
15:54
Speaker 5: rip it if it all of a sudden bounces off
15:55
Speaker 5: your guy and is an interception, or they disguise it
15:58
Speaker 5: and trick your quarterback, because out of five hundred pass
16:02
Speaker 5: attempts over the course of the season, you're gonna get tricked.
16:04
Speaker 5: Sometimes Tom Brady would get tricked. Sometimes there's nobody that
16:06
Speaker 5: doesn't get tricked at times. And so to me, it's
16:09
Speaker 5: let it rip at certain times. But then be situationally aware,
16:12
Speaker 5: make sure you're not doing make sure you're not putting
16:14
Speaker 5: the ball at risk when you know by bad decisions
16:18
Speaker 5: the ball can be at risk at times just with
16:20
Speaker 5: you know elements or you know slippery ball, or it
16:22
Speaker 5: goes off your receiver's hands or something. But don't make
16:25
Speaker 5: bad decisions and put the ball at risk when you're
16:27
Speaker 5: down getting ready to score, or when you're backed up
16:29
Speaker 5: against your end zone and giving them easy points.
16:31
Speaker 6: Well, and it did seem like, at least in the
16:32
Speaker 6: first half, some of those were like the amount of
16:35
Speaker 6: batted balls, those were bad decisions. It was like, how
16:37
Speaker 6: do you not see the defensive person in between you
16:41
Speaker 6: and the person you're trying to throw it to. And
16:42
Speaker 6: so I do think he got lucky with the fact
16:44
Speaker 6: that he didn't have as many turnovers. I mean, there
16:47
Speaker 6: was a how many times were you guys sitting there watching?
16:49
Speaker 6: But oh, oh, okay, he got away with one. H and
16:52
Speaker 6: so it is definitely a concern. But I also think,
16:55
Speaker 6: just offensively, it seemed like we were playing very concernedly
17:00
Speaker 6: and very afraid to turn the ball over.
17:02
Speaker 4: We were playing. I don't know that's how I felt.
17:05
Speaker 3: I don't think I feel that way. And then look
17:08
Speaker 3: the bad there's a batted ball issue. I mean, we'll
17:11
Speaker 3: need Hugh and coach to tell us, you know how
17:13
Speaker 3: to fix that, yeah, because I don't know what I mean,
17:18
Speaker 3: it's just a jungle of six foot six inch guy's
17:22
Speaker 3: arms and limbs that are that are right there. It's
17:25
Speaker 3: not like he's five to nine trying to throw over
17:28
Speaker 3: a wall of humanity. I mean, I don't know what
17:31
Speaker 3: you can do about it, but once it gets to
17:33
Speaker 3: the point where it's happening four or five times a game, yeah,
17:36
Speaker 3: you know, then it needs to be addressed. Look, I
17:41
Speaker 3: think that I think Bucky's got the right of it.
17:44
Speaker 3: I do want them to let it rip, but there
17:46
Speaker 3: are times I need you to be a little more conservative.
17:50
Speaker 3: I will happily live with Sam Darnold finishing minus one
17:53
Speaker 3: in the turnover battle the entire tournament. You want to
17:57
Speaker 3: tell me that I'll take minus one and every every
18:00
Speaker 3: single game in the tournament turnover ratio, yes, please, But
18:05
Speaker 3: I don't want minus two. I certainly don't want minus three.
18:10
Speaker 3: Even though they won minus three against what we're discussing
18:14
Speaker 3: might be the best team in the National Football League,
18:16
Speaker 3: the Los Angeles Rams, they had minus three and won
18:19
Speaker 3: that game. So there's so much good to great about
18:24
Speaker 3: this Seahawks team. They have a great defense, they have
18:27
Speaker 3: great special teams, they have a great number one wide receiver,
18:33
Speaker 3: and so you when you can make up for a
18:38
Speaker 3: turnover and a half per game. I think you're good
18:41
Speaker 3: enough overall to do that. But you can't sit there
18:47
Speaker 3: and lose by minus two, not in the playoffs. And
18:50
Speaker 3: so just the carelessness, just shore up the carelessness without
18:57
Speaker 3: it affecting your aggressiveness. That to me is gonna be
19:02
Speaker 3: the sweet spot on whether or not the Seahawks are
19:04
Speaker 3: in the super Bowl this year, or if they were
19:10
Speaker 3: talking about a disappointing season at the end of the
19:12
Speaker 3: year or a disappointing conclusion.
19:14
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, I mean, I don't know. I don't know.
19:17
Speaker 5: To me, it's the every game is so different that
19:20
Speaker 5: I mean, you could be in a battle against a
19:23
Speaker 5: team where it's like both teams are moving the ball
19:25
Speaker 5: and both teams are putting up points and there is
19:28
Speaker 5: only one turnover. If it comes in the final drive
19:31
Speaker 5: when you're needing to go down and score, you can't
19:33
Speaker 5: have it. And so to me, it's the idea of
19:35
Speaker 5: if there's one thing, I know you've said it. I
19:37
Speaker 5: know Hughes talked about it. A lot of people understand
19:41
Speaker 5: and respect a thing about Sam where even when he
19:44
Speaker 5: makes a mistake, he doesn't seem to get rattled to
19:48
Speaker 5: where he doesn't still try to stuff the next one
19:50
Speaker 5: in there.
19:51
Speaker 2: Now, the problem with that is sometimes that.
19:53
Speaker 5: Turns into a four interception game because you're not scared
19:57
Speaker 5: because of your your poor your bad play before that. Well,
20:00
Speaker 5: I can't throw it again. This is a bad comparison,
20:03
Speaker 5: But to me, when you were just talking, Tim Tebow
20:06
Speaker 5: was not a great quarterback. Tim Tebow knew that everybody
20:09
Speaker 5: thought he wasn't a great quarterback. When he would throw
20:12
Speaker 5: an interception, you could basically bet on the next five
20:15
Speaker 5: to six throws were going to miss the receiver, but
20:19
Speaker 5: even further missed the defender, like he was in a
20:21
Speaker 5: dirt five yards out in front of the receiver where
20:23
Speaker 5: there was no chance that was gonna get picked off.
20:25
Speaker 5: Sam Donald was gonna do that. He just okay, I
20:27
Speaker 5: made a mistake, whether there was a bad throw or
20:29
Speaker 5: a bad decision, I made a mistake, But I'm gonna
20:32
Speaker 5: make in the next throw. And typically he does and
20:34
Speaker 5: he typically doesn't. He typically does more good throws than
20:37
Speaker 5: bad throws. And that's where you're talking about overall, if
20:40
Speaker 5: those good throws outweigh the one bad throw, possibly two
20:44
Speaker 5: bad throws. If your defense can take one away as well.
20:47
Speaker 5: Then you're gonna wind up on the winning side of
20:48
Speaker 5: things because of that defense. Because there is some potency
20:51
Speaker 5: to the offense. I mean Jackson Smith and Jigba and
20:54
Speaker 5: and company. They've moved the ball down the field. I
20:56
Speaker 5: mean they've scored what thirty plus points in five different
20:59
Speaker 5: half this season, so they can do some damage to you.
21:02
Speaker 5: But that wouldn't happen if he got scared and started
21:04
Speaker 5: playing too passive.
21:06
Speaker 3: Well, the defense bailed you out yesterday, and I think
21:09
Speaker 3: Sam's bailed himself out plenty of times this year. Made
21:12
Speaker 3: a bad play and then came back and made ten
21:14
Speaker 3: good plays to overcome that. And that's the Sam that
21:17
Speaker 3: I can live with. Yesterday, defense bailed you out. They
21:20
Speaker 3: created the turnovers. You had a terrible first half. You
21:23
Speaker 3: had three points at halftime for goodness sake, that was
21:26
Speaker 3: ugly against the Carolina Panthers. You threw for a you
21:30
Speaker 3: had one hundred and twenty five total passing yards in
21:33
Speaker 3: the game. I mean that was first game that the
21:36
Speaker 3: running game looked better than the passing game I think
21:39
Speaker 3: all season long. So there are a couple of signs.
21:41
Speaker 3: There are a couple of signs there that Sam's not
21:45
Speaker 3: playing his best football at the most important time of
21:48
Speaker 3: the season. So to me, it's just that sweet spot
21:50
Speaker 3: of being just as aggressive as you've been and yet
21:55
Speaker 3: you know, there's got to be a little more care
21:59
Speaker 3: in the those precious areas. And I think that I'm
22:03
Speaker 3: not gonna call it a turnover issue, but certainly we're
22:08
Speaker 3: trending away from great Sam Donald here the last couple
22:13
Speaker 3: of weeks, and it's a bad time to be doing that,
22:15
Speaker 3: all right, Coming up next we will get to you
22:18
Speaker 3: ready for Saturday Seahawks forty nine Ers Sports Radio ninety
22:21
Speaker 3: three point three kh A r FM.
22:35
Speaker 6: This me.
22:35
Speaker 2: It was the.
22:35
Speaker 3: Officiating crappy yesterday too.
22:38
Speaker 4: Yeah.
22:38
Speaker 3: I can't even tell you in my notes how many
22:40
Speaker 3: times I just wrote, Gene yes, sideline.
22:43
Speaker 4: I have like six things for us.
22:44
Speaker 3: Yeah, And there was that sequence right before the half. Now,
22:49
Speaker 3: granted we contributed to that messiness and ugliness. I'm like,
22:53
Speaker 3: are you gonna get anything right in this entire drive
22:56
Speaker 3: here at the end of the half. You seem lost,
22:59
Speaker 3: you seem flustered, well, and a lot of you.
23:01
Speaker 4: How did they miss the face mask and the horse call?
23:04
Speaker 4: You're grabbing him on both sides of his uniform. So
23:06
Speaker 4: someone would, I mean, somewhere should have seen it.
23:09
Speaker 3: Somebody JJ Watt explained it away. I guess somebody explained
23:14
Speaker 3: to him that it wasn't a horse collar. I'm like,
23:15
Speaker 3: that was a horse call.
23:17
Speaker 4: If that's not, then what is the horse collary?
23:20
Speaker 3: Is horse collar I've ever seen in my life?
23:22
Speaker 4: Yeah, we want to hear about it, Jim.
23:23
Speaker 3: Anyway, let's let's talk about Saturday. It is Chuck Buck
23:28
Speaker 3: and Ashley with you here. Seahawks went over the Carolina Panthers.
23:31
Speaker 3: It wasn't the prettiest game in the world, but my goodness,
23:35
Speaker 3: the Carolina Panthers lost and ended up in victory.
23:38
Speaker 2: Formation.
23:39
Speaker 3: Boy, that is really that. That is really admitting your failures.
23:42
Speaker 3: There even left time on the clock. That would have
23:45
Speaker 3: been hilarious at Mike McDonald, like throwing a pass, Maybe
23:50
Speaker 3: you should have. Don't leave me on time on the
23:54
Speaker 3: clock up seventeen. Don't do it. But that's that's how
23:59
Speaker 3: I really strained game kind of ugly at times, ended
24:02
Speaker 3: up and it ended up looking like a comfortable victory
24:05
Speaker 3: at twenty seven to ten, even though there were times
24:07
Speaker 3: that was anything but comfortable. And now it sets up
24:12
Speaker 3: Saturday the forty nine ers so won a more esthetically
24:15
Speaker 3: pleasing game against the Chicago Bears forty two to thirty
24:18
Speaker 3: eight last night, And so these two teams will play
24:21
Speaker 3: for the division and for the number one seed on Saturday.
24:25
Speaker 3: And man, I just I just got to give credit
24:28
Speaker 3: to the San Francisco forty nine Ers because in a way,
24:32
Speaker 3: a lot of the things that I felt they weren't
24:35
Speaker 3: gonna come through on this year did like they're old.
24:40
Speaker 3: Their star players get injured repeatedly, and that happened again
24:45
Speaker 3: this year. I mean, we might not face Trent Williams
24:47
Speaker 3: even on Saturday, as he left with that looked like
24:49
Speaker 3: a pretty serious hamstring issue. And he might be the
24:52
Speaker 3: best left tackle in the world, but George Kittle's been
24:55
Speaker 3: in and out of the lineup. You know, Barners exsume me.
25:00
Speaker 3: Warner is gone, Bosa is gone. I combined the two,
25:04
Speaker 3: That's what I did there. Why did I end up
25:06
Speaker 3: with Barner Because I combined Warner with Bosa and so
25:10
Speaker 3: they're both gone. I mean, even brock Perdy, who does
25:14
Speaker 3: look sensational right now, and I got to give him
25:16
Speaker 3: credit for that because I've been a little bit of
25:18
Speaker 3: a critic of his but he looks phenomenal right now.
25:21
Speaker 3: I mean he missed half the season. Mac Jones is
25:24
Speaker 3: responsible for half of the team's wins this year. And
25:29
Speaker 3: Christian McCaffrey I thought was gonna lose a step, and
25:31
Speaker 3: I think that he has. And I know he's gonna
25:33
Speaker 3: have a thousand yards rushing and a thousand yards receiving
25:36
Speaker 3: and he's still an incredible weapon. But he's also averaging
25:38
Speaker 3: under four yards per carry this year, so he's not
25:43
Speaker 3: been the dominant force between the tackles. He's been just
25:45
Speaker 3: as good as a pass catcher, but between the tackles,
25:48
Speaker 3: he's not been the dominant player. And yet here they
25:51
Speaker 3: sit with a chance at the number one seed, a
25:53
Speaker 3: chance to sweep us this year and be the number
25:56
Speaker 3: one seed in the playoffs. I got to give Kyle
25:58
Speaker 3: Shanahan all the credit in the world. I've always put
26:00
Speaker 3: him in the category of one of the best head
26:02
Speaker 3: coaches in the National Football League, but this might have
26:05
Speaker 3: been his Mona Lisa here. This might have been the
26:08
Speaker 3: best coaching job that we've ever seen him come up with.
26:11
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, I mean it's to go through the injuries.
26:13
Speaker 5: I mean, to your quarterback one I mean, regardless of
26:16
Speaker 5: how you feel about Brock Purty, just to lose your
26:19
Speaker 5: starting quarterback, typically you are going to take a significant
26:22
Speaker 5: step or two or three backwards. And I mean, look
26:26
Speaker 5: at the Cincinnati Bengals. They come into the season. People
26:29
Speaker 5: are thinking this might be a you know, super Bowl
26:32
Speaker 5: contending team, and you lose their quarterback and they are
26:35
Speaker 5: not even close to that when he's out. Now, some
26:38
Speaker 5: credit to Mac Jones, but I think more credit to
26:41
Speaker 5: Kyle Shanahan, I think, and a lot of credit has
26:43
Speaker 5: to go to Christian McAffrey regardless of whether or not
26:45
Speaker 5: he's putting up the same numbers.
26:47
Speaker 2: You know, definitely per carry.
26:48
Speaker 5: They were talking about that last night, that he's under
26:50
Speaker 5: four yards, so he's not running the same as what
26:51
Speaker 5: he typically does. I mean two thousand yards from scrimmage.
26:55
Speaker 5: Now he's tied with I think la Danian Thomason is
26:57
Speaker 5: the only person ever to have three seasons which you
27:00
Speaker 5: do that. That's that's pretty impressive what he does. Because
27:04
Speaker 5: he's he's their leading runner and he's their leading receiver.
27:08
Speaker 2: You would think that.
27:09
Speaker 5: It's like, well, then why doesn't the other team like
27:11
Speaker 5: just take him away? Yeah, apparently you can't or if
27:15
Speaker 5: you do, then they that maybe that's when the rock
27:18
Speaker 5: Purty just makes the good decision or absorbs the flavors
27:21
Speaker 5: around and says, well, the little Jill Won Jennings will help.
27:23
Speaker 5: Since they sent six guys over to stop Christian McCaffrey,
27:26
Speaker 5: I don't know how you don't figure out a way
27:29
Speaker 5: to contain that guy, because he is he is kind
27:32
Speaker 5: of the one man show. And yet part of that
27:34
Speaker 5: is than Kyle Shanahan figuring out how to use others
27:37
Speaker 5: off of that, because you have to think that Mike
27:39
Speaker 5: McDonald went into game one thing and we're gonna stop
27:42
Speaker 5: Christian McCaffrey, and he's gonna go into this one thing.
27:44
Speaker 5: He's gonna stop Christian McCaffrey. Whether or not you actually
27:46
Speaker 5: can is a different story, or whether or not the
27:49
Speaker 5: other people kind of step up and flourish in that.
27:51
Speaker 3: He's a great player and he's a great weapon. There's
27:54
Speaker 3: no question about it. He's just they're just not the
27:57
Speaker 3: running attack that they've been in the past. I mean,
27:59
Speaker 3: they've dominated because they run you over and there's no
28:03
Speaker 3: way to stop it. I mean, they're twenty third in
28:06
Speaker 3: yards per game this year and they're thirtieth and yards
28:10
Speaker 3: per carry this year, a team that's vying for the
28:12
Speaker 3: number one spot. I mean, think about how much we've
28:14
Speaker 3: struggled running the football this year, and we ranked way
28:19
Speaker 3: ahead of Christian McCaffrey and the forty nine ers this
28:22
Speaker 3: year running the football, and yet somehow here they sit
28:25
Speaker 3: with a chance to have the playoffs in Santa Clara.
28:29
Speaker 3: The entire way because the Super Bowls, even in Santa Clara.
28:33
Speaker 4: They's crazy.
28:34
Speaker 6: It's crazy to see just I mean, yeah, the amount
28:37
Speaker 6: of utilization he gets and the fact that nobody can
28:41
Speaker 6: quite figure it out. It seems like they're doing the
28:42
Speaker 6: same stuff every every week. And then yeah, I was
28:46
Speaker 6: obviously dead wrong about the forty nine ers going into
28:49
Speaker 6: the season. I did not think they'd even win nine games.
28:51
Speaker 6: I think it was obviously.
28:53
Speaker 4: They passed that.
28:54
Speaker 6: And I don't know how they're doing it, Honestly, I
28:57
Speaker 6: don't know how they're doing it well with the amount.
28:59
Speaker 3: Of injuries, and I guess, I mean, we just got
29:02
Speaker 3: to give credit to the system, the organization. I mean,
29:06
Speaker 3: we're in a division with two organizations that do a
29:10
Speaker 3: lot of good things, and we're right there with him
29:13
Speaker 3: here in Seattle and John Schneider's back on his a game,
29:16
Speaker 3: and I think it's because we got rid of Pete.
29:19
Speaker 3: I hate to say that, but I think that's what
29:21
Speaker 3: was the problem. And so you've got three of the
29:25
Speaker 3: brightest minds at head coach in the National Football League,
29:28
Speaker 3: in the same division. And I think it was a
29:31
Speaker 3: hell of a counter move by John Schneider to recognize
29:35
Speaker 3: I can either go get Ben Johnson and try to
29:38
Speaker 3: be just as great offensively as these other two dudes
29:41
Speaker 3: and might not achieve it, or I can get the
29:43
Speaker 3: defensive equivalent of them. And here comes Mike McDonald to Seattle,
29:49
Speaker 3: and it's just I think, just going over swingingly.
29:52
Speaker 5: Yeah.
29:52
Speaker 3: And so now here you go taking on the forty
29:56
Speaker 3: nine ers. You split with the Rams this year. One
29:59
Speaker 3: time you baffled Matt Stafford and lost. The other time
30:04
Speaker 3: he had his way with you and you won. Sports
30:07
Speaker 3: are weird sometimes, And now San Francisco beat you at
30:11
Speaker 3: the beginning of the year, and it didn't feel like
30:13
Speaker 3: the better team won that day either, and yet you
30:16
Speaker 3: got a chance at redemption against them. But they are
30:19
Speaker 3: flying high offensively, and it is partly McCaffrey, and it's
30:23
Speaker 3: partly certainly Brock party who seems to be making all
30:26
Speaker 3: the right decisions. But Kyle Shanahan has just pressed all
30:30
Speaker 3: the right buttons this year. There's no way that you
30:32
Speaker 3: cannot give him a full line share of credit for
30:35
Speaker 3: what San Francisco has pulled off this season.
30:37
Speaker 5: Yeah, well, I mean I think that even though I
30:40
Speaker 5: don't want to, he gets a lot of credit obviously
30:43
Speaker 5: because he's ready, he's been Yeah, well, that's not nice
30:46
Speaker 5: that he gets a lot of credit because he's came
30:49
Speaker 5: into the league and basically since he got the head
30:53
Speaker 5: coaching gig. He basically in before that when he was
30:55
Speaker 5: offensive coordinator, he moved the ball, he put up points,
30:58
Speaker 5: he made whatever the ingredients he was given by his gym,
31:02
Speaker 5: he made them pretty damn good. But I think it's
31:05
Speaker 5: one of those it can probably still be understated. He
31:07
Speaker 5: could probably still be not being appreciated as much because
31:11
Speaker 5: you did take the mister irrelevant.
31:13
Speaker 3: Now.
31:13
Speaker 5: It's not to say that a mister irrelevant can't turn
31:15
Speaker 5: out to be good, but rock Perty's he's been better
31:18
Speaker 5: than just okay, And he goes out there and right now,
31:21
Speaker 5: like you said, in spite of the injuries, you don't
31:24
Speaker 5: have your number one receiver your defense, you're giving up
31:27
Speaker 5: a ton of points and so you basically have to
31:29
Speaker 5: get into it.
31:29
Speaker 3: You got rid of Debo, IUK hasn't been there. Pierceall
31:32
Speaker 3: was supposed to be their number one. He hasn't played
31:35
Speaker 3: all season long. Kittle's been out five six games this year,
31:38
Speaker 3: and there's still forty two points against the Bears on
31:41
Speaker 3: Sunday night.
31:41
Speaker 5: Yeah, real, exactly, And I think so. To me, it's
31:44
Speaker 5: that how much your coach makes the most important people
31:49
Speaker 5: better is something that he should have him in the
31:52
Speaker 5: running for Coach of the Year. I'm sure that that
31:54
Speaker 5: name is being brought up amongst those that are that
31:56
Speaker 5: have those votes, because to deal with getting rid of
32:00
Speaker 5: guys like you said, Debo, and then having injuries to
32:04
Speaker 5: a bunch of other guys on offense and your two
32:06
Speaker 5: biggest dudes on defense to where now you have to
32:09
Speaker 5: win via shootout unreal. And yet you're doing it with
32:12
Speaker 5: mister irrelevant and and aging Christian McCaffrey. And I say
32:15
Speaker 5: that very lightly because to me, I don't see him
32:18
Speaker 5: as he didn't look like a guy that's aging. He
32:20
Speaker 5: could get injured, and yet he stayed healthy this season
32:22
Speaker 5: up to this point.
32:23
Speaker 6: And so which is the most incredible thing that he
32:25
Speaker 6: stayed healthy, because when was the last.
32:27
Speaker 2: Time he had I didn't draft him in fantasy football.
32:29
Speaker 4: Because last year he went out League one right.
32:31
Speaker 3: But thirtieth the forty nine ers thirtieth in yards per
32:35
Speaker 3: carry this year, that's down with the Saints and Raiders
32:38
Speaker 3: are the only two worst. And yet they were sitting
32:41
Speaker 3: here with a chance at the number one seed. I mean,
32:44
Speaker 3: they have defied everything this year to be in their position,
32:47
Speaker 3: and yet they look very dangerous. There's no getting around it.
32:50
Speaker 3: They look extreme. They're playing their best football right now
32:53
Speaker 3: of the entire year. I mean, even with Trent Williams
32:56
Speaker 3: leaving the game and George Kittle not being available to them,
32:59
Speaker 3: they still put forty two two points on the board,
33:01
Speaker 3: and the Bears didn't have an answer for them. If
33:02
Speaker 3: the game would have gone further, they would have just
33:04
Speaker 3: kept scoring touchdowns. And so that's what you're up against
33:08
Speaker 3: on Saturday. But what they're up against is a defense that,
33:11
Speaker 3: against another NFL team with a shot at winning their division,
33:15
Speaker 3: had one hundred and forty three total yards of offense yesterday,
33:20
Speaker 3: and no matter how sloppy the Seahawks looked and getting
33:24
Speaker 3: that seventeen point win. I mean, that is remarkable. To
33:29
Speaker 3: hold a deep hold NFL team to one hundred and
33:33
Speaker 3: forty three years a total offense. That's healthy. Yeah. They
33:36
Speaker 3: didn't even have the excuse of, well, our quarterback's out,
33:38
Speaker 3: and they didn't have the excuses that the forty nine
33:41
Speaker 3: ers had, right yeah, and yet you still had held
33:45
Speaker 3: them to one hundred and forty three yards. So you
33:46
Speaker 3: got two dominant forces going right now. San Francisco's offense
33:50
Speaker 3: seems to do no wrong. Seahawks defense seems to do
33:53
Speaker 3: no wrong, and everything's going to be on the line Saturday.
33:56
Speaker 3: You just can't beat it. You can't beat it with
33:58
Speaker 3: a stick. It's just that entertaining.
34:01
Speaker 4: I can't wait.
34:02
Speaker 3: I'm here for it, all right. Mike McDonald, we'll hear
34:04
Speaker 3: from him next Sports Radio ninety three point three kJ
34:07
Speaker 3: RFM fence and how they just seem unstoppable right now.
34:11
Speaker 3: And his response to that was, what a fool believe?
34:16
Speaker 4: I couldn't even attempt to hit that note today.
34:18
Speaker 3: I couldn't. I didn't.
34:20
Speaker 4: I just choke.
34:22
Speaker 3: So yeah, I thought that was pretty brash. It's part
34:25
Speaker 3: to sing what a fool belief?
34:27
Speaker 5: Almost Yeah, yeah, that's all.
34:30
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's like bolton board material there, Mike McDonald. We
34:34
Speaker 3: always play a little bit of audio from a coach
34:36
Speaker 3: from the game here on Mondays, and so let's talk
34:41
Speaker 3: about Sam Donald's turnovers and whether or not coach thinks
34:45
Speaker 3: it's an issue.
34:46
Speaker 7: Well, yeah, it's not like a Okay, it's really just
34:49
Speaker 7: the ball being in jeopardy, you know, So deflections things
34:53
Speaker 7: like that. That's I mean, that's that those things happened.
34:56
Speaker 7: But you know, I think if we take care of
34:59
Speaker 7: like the front end the plays better, it won't be
35:02
Speaker 7: as big of an issue. You know. So when we
35:05
Speaker 7: call it e it's how you finish plays, and we
35:08
Speaker 7: got to double down on that, you know, that's critical
35:10
Speaker 7: this part of the year.
35:11
Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree with all of that. I mean, let's
35:13
Speaker 3: keep that in mind too. This oblong ball bounces around
35:18
Speaker 3: and takes crazy ops. I mean, I've watched Josh Allen
35:21
Speaker 3: dominate games, and I also in those games watched him
35:24
Speaker 3: almost commit seven turnovers. I mean, he's he plays. He
35:28
Speaker 3: plays with serious aggression, and there is a fine line
35:33
Speaker 3: between reckless and being reckless when you're overly aggressive, and
35:38
Speaker 3: Brett Farv played with it. I much rather have a
35:41
Speaker 3: Josh Allen. I mean, we don't like to have Tom
35:44
Speaker 3: Brady who puts up big numbers and and doesn't throw interceptions.
35:48
Speaker 3: That's why this he's the greatest of all time. But
35:51
Speaker 3: the second guy that I won is a Josh Allen
35:53
Speaker 3: type or a Brett Farv type. I want a guy
35:55
Speaker 3: that's trying to make plays out there, and yeah, he's
35:57
Speaker 3: going to make a couple of mistakes along the way,
36:00
Speaker 3: maybe puts the ball in peril more often than he should.
36:03
Speaker 3: But at the end of the day, when you look
36:04
Speaker 3: up at the scoreboard, he's made more good plays that
36:07
Speaker 3: helped you win than he made bad plays that caused
36:10
Speaker 3: you to lose. And I want Sam Darnold to play
36:13
Speaker 3: that way. Now he's not quite Josh Allen. He's not
36:15
Speaker 3: quite you know, Brett far from a physical standpoint, And
36:19
Speaker 3: so to me, yes, please play aggressively, but know where
36:24
Speaker 3: the line of recklessness or carelessness. I think it's more
36:28
Speaker 3: carelessness at times with Sam. That was a careless turnover
36:32
Speaker 3: in the back of the corner of the end zone.
36:34
Speaker 3: And so I don't want him to come off of this.
36:36
Speaker 3: And I know that he was gonna spend some time
36:38
Speaker 3: on this coming up here at the eight o'clock hour.
36:41
Speaker 3: I don't want him to change the way he plays,
36:43
Speaker 3: but obviously you do. You can't put yourself in a
36:46
Speaker 3: position where you're creating as many turnovers as he has,
36:50
Speaker 3: especially in the last couple of weeks.
36:52
Speaker 2: Right.
36:52
Speaker 5: And yet, like we've already said, they're not all created
36:55
Speaker 5: equalithers you have bad decisions or sometimes great plays or
36:58
Speaker 5: some names, there's bad play on your receiver's part.
37:02
Speaker 2: Another thing too, like when it comes to the bat
37:04
Speaker 2: of balls.
37:04
Speaker 5: It's a frustrating thing when you're when you're rooting for
37:08
Speaker 5: a team and you just watch a game or even
37:11
Speaker 5: multiple games in a row where your quarterback's passes are
37:15
Speaker 5: getting battered down. And yet there's so many times that
37:19
Speaker 5: they just whip it and it just gets by the
37:22
Speaker 5: guy right like it's they didn't react in time.
37:23
Speaker 3: I mean, the game winning conversion an inch.
37:29
Speaker 5: From a guy's hands, And I mean there is tons
37:31
Speaker 5: of times I don't think you can not throw to
37:34
Speaker 5: a guy because there's someone in between. You like basically
37:37
Speaker 5: have to just pretend they're not there and you throw
37:40
Speaker 5: it and it might go an inch over the dude's
37:43
Speaker 5: head and right between his arms.
37:44
Speaker 3: Yeah, he can't get his meaty arms up there.
37:46
Speaker 5: Yeah, And yet there's I think there's I think there's
37:49
Speaker 5: times when when a team or a defensive coordinator says,
37:52
Speaker 5: all right, get those meat hooks in the air, right
37:53
Speaker 5: if you aren't getting to them, if you're three four
37:56
Speaker 5: steps away and still being blocked, then keep an eye
37:58
Speaker 5: on them and try to get that thing in the air.
38:00
Speaker 5: And that's where the quick release comes from, which he
38:03
Speaker 5: is fine with that. I just think that there's times
38:06
Speaker 5: that you just either a combination of if you make
38:09
Speaker 5: a bad decision and you get unlucky on another one, well,
38:13
Speaker 5: now all of a sudden, it's two turnovers, and it's
38:15
Speaker 5: you almost get you're gonna get blamed for it, as
38:17
Speaker 5: if you made two horrible decisions, even though really it
38:20
Speaker 5: was one bad decision and one unlucky one, or one
38:23
Speaker 5: getting hit from behind it as your arm is kind
38:26
Speaker 5: of going forward but maybe not enough going forward. So
38:29
Speaker 5: to me, it's just it's the difference between Brett Farv
38:32
Speaker 5: being a Hall of Famer and Brett Farv being a
38:34
Speaker 5: dude that had all the arm talent in the world
38:37
Speaker 5: and couldn't figure it out. Is a Mike Holmgren that
38:39
Speaker 5: got to him and said, yes, you can fit it
38:42
Speaker 5: in that mailbox. Sometimes you got to stop trying to
38:46
Speaker 5: do that, Like when you're backed up against our own
38:47
Speaker 5: in zone, you can't do that when we already have
38:49
Speaker 5: points on the board.
38:50
Speaker 2: You can't.
38:51
Speaker 5: You have to He's still gonna do it at times
38:53
Speaker 5: because you got to let the gun slinger sling, you know,
38:55
Speaker 5: and you got to let him go. But it's like,
38:58
Speaker 5: how and when and how do you rain yourself in
39:00
Speaker 5: as a quarterback when your job is to make that
39:04
Speaker 5: difficult play, make that difficult throw, And at times you
39:07
Speaker 5: just got to say, no, it's not right now, it's
39:09
Speaker 5: not the time to chance it.
39:10
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, I'm sure you can't wait to weigh in
39:13
Speaker 3: on this subject. It's a big topic coming out of
39:15
Speaker 3: the game and getting ready for Saturday. Let's face it,
39:17
Speaker 3: because I just don't want to look at the end
39:20
Speaker 3: of the at the box score at the end of
39:22
Speaker 3: the day and we were minus three turnover ratio. Because
39:26
Speaker 3: I don't even want to hear the Sam Donald criticism
39:27
Speaker 3: because I think he's been awesome for the Seahawks this season.
39:31
Speaker 3: So Hughes coming up next Monday morning quarterback session gets underway.
39:35
Speaker 3: With our QB one right here on Sports Radio ninety
39:37
Speaker 3: three point three KJRFM
