Latest / Chuck in the Morning / Chuck & Buck 2-5 Hour 3: 12th Man Roundtable with Hugh Millen and Gregg Bell.
Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: And you know what we do from eight to nine.
- 0:02Speaker 1: This is sacred ground. I had all sorts of people,
- 0:05Speaker 1: the ghost of Bence Lombardi wanted to come on the show.
- 0:10Speaker 1: Jerry Rice wanted to come on the show. Tom Brady
- 0:14Speaker 1: wanted to come on the show. And I'm like, nobody's
- 0:17Speaker 1: coming on the show between eight and nine on Thursday.
- 0:20Speaker 1: That is Greg Bell, that is Hugh milling all year long,
- 0:23Speaker 1: and we certainly aren't gonna mess that.
- 0:25Speaker 2: Up on Super Bowl. Well, you're fool, but we'll go
- 0:28Speaker 2: with it. Brady says, should have. Brady says he's not
- 0:31Speaker 2: rooting for the Patriots. Can I at least say that
- 0:34Speaker 2: Hugh Millan is rooting for the Seahawks.
- 0:36Speaker 3: You can say that. You know, here, Brady's getting a
- 0:39Speaker 3: lot of hot water. He says, I don't have a
- 0:40Speaker 3: dog in a hut, And I kind of get it,
- 0:43Speaker 3: you know, like what you know, twenty years weren't enough.
- 0:45Speaker 3: But remember, if you're gonna get Brady in all that competitiveness,
- 0:50Speaker 3: the guy that's gonna, you know, in one sitting, you know,
- 0:55Speaker 3: study that tape when Gizelle is one room over and
- 0:58Speaker 3: he's gonna still stay at that computer a studying that day.
- 1:01Speaker 3: If you're getting that Tom Brady, then at the end
- 1:03Speaker 3: of his career, when you look at him and say
- 1:05Speaker 3: now we don't need you anymore, by you think that
- 1:08Speaker 3: the same guy that you had for twenty years, that's
- 1:10Speaker 3: not gonna eat at him a little bit. So you know,
- 1:13Speaker 3: I don't know. I just get the sense that he's
- 1:16Speaker 3: mostly good with the pages, but not all good based
- 1:19Speaker 3: on how it ended.
- 1:20Speaker 1: Yeah, well, Seahawks Patriots is the matchup on Sunday, and
- 1:24Speaker 1: so we roundtable today. Our Seahawks insider Greg Bell is
- 1:28Speaker 1: with us and of course our QB won Hugh Millan
- 1:31Speaker 1: for the next hour. Greg, are you does it feel
- 1:35Speaker 1: like they're ready to go?
- 1:38Speaker 4: No? No, they got a lot of work to do
- 1:42Speaker 4: and they're still what are we Thursday? And Mike McDonald
- 1:47Speaker 4: said yesterday that they actually didn't do the entire game
- 1:51Speaker 4: plan when they were back in renting last week, so
- 1:53Speaker 4: they're still doing that. Most of all, they're most perhaps
- 1:57Speaker 4: their most important, some of their most dynamic, pensive player
- 2:01Speaker 4: is not able to walk cleanly as an injury yesterday
- 2:05Speaker 4: in practice for Nick emn worry, it's really important to Thursday,
- 2:10Speaker 4: Friday and Saturday for the entire team, certainly the defense,
- 2:13Speaker 4: certainly Nick Emun worry that he recovers from his apparently
- 2:17Speaker 4: ankle spring.
- 2:18Speaker 5: I know that he did.
- 2:19Speaker 4: Walk into the hotel last night. He was slipping, but
- 2:25Speaker 4: he walked off the field as well. I covered a
- 2:29Speaker 4: safety that they've patted himself at. Nick even worry after
- 2:33Speaker 4: I covered him tearing an mcl and his knee on
- 2:35Speaker 4: a Friday and playing in the super Bowl on Sunday.
- 2:38Speaker 4: The last Super Bowl to seex played and that was
- 2:40Speaker 4: Cam Chancellor down in Phoenix. These guys do extraordinary things
- 2:45Speaker 4: to play in this game health wise, let me just
- 2:48Speaker 4: put it that way. Extraordinary and I Nick even worry,
- 2:53Speaker 4: and the Seahawks will do everything possible for him to
- 2:56Speaker 4: play on Sunday.
- 2:57Speaker 5: We'll find out more in about two hours.
- 2:59Speaker 4: When we ask Mike McDonald what the latest is, but
- 3:02Speaker 4: he'll probably say more tests and where you're gonna do
- 3:05Speaker 4: a lot of treatment.
- 3:06Speaker 5: We'll try to get day by day and see if
- 3:08Speaker 5: you can get him to play.
- 3:09Speaker 1: All right, here, you hear Nick emon warr he's limping
- 3:12Speaker 1: on the Thursday before the Super Bowl. What makes What's that?
- 3:15Speaker 1: Does that take you? I don't like it?
- 3:17Speaker 3: It's horrible.
- 3:18Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean.
- 3:22Speaker 3: They have found a guy that can can play with
- 3:26Speaker 3: You can play with the light box with him. You
- 3:28Speaker 3: can stop the run without having to bring a safety down.
- 3:31Speaker 3: It doesn't matter how heavy you opponents want to get
- 3:34Speaker 3: in the And the Patriots in the AFC Championship game
- 3:37Speaker 3: played their full back Jack West over the former Husky
- 3:40Speaker 3: over forty percent of the snaps. I mean, they're gonna
- 3:42Speaker 3: want to play hardball. And when Emon Rory wasn't the nickel,
- 3:47Speaker 3: it was mainly Devin Witherspoon. Well, Devin Witherspoon was thirty
- 3:50Speaker 3: nine pounds lighter going by combine weight than Emon Worriy was.
- 3:54Speaker 3: So greg I think it's a big concern. So so
- 3:59Speaker 3: when you say he was walking, he's walking with a limp,
- 4:02Speaker 3: what do you think I mean, if you had to
- 4:05Speaker 3: just gauge the probability that he's gonna be obviously he's
- 4:09Speaker 3: going to take an injection and if it's at all possible,
- 4:14Speaker 3: But what do we think probability is going on here?
- 4:16Speaker 3: What's the sense that the team feels as the probability.
- 4:20Speaker 5: Probably sixty percent? I think it helps that, Oh, I
- 4:25Speaker 5: think it helps that.
- 4:26Speaker 4: It definitely, I don't think I know it helps that
- 4:29Speaker 4: there's three days between three and a half days between
- 4:31Speaker 4: this injury until the game. Uh, if it was a Friday,
- 4:36Speaker 4: you have a bigger problem. If it's an inward garden
- 4:39Speaker 4: variety ankle sprain what they call it, he has a
- 4:43Speaker 4: chance between now and then, between treatment and staying off
- 4:47Speaker 4: of it and recuperating in the modern medicine like he
- 4:50Speaker 4: alludes to. If it's an injection or what, he has
- 4:53Speaker 4: a chance, and I think a really good one given
- 4:55Speaker 4: the nature of the game. If this was a Friday,
- 4:58Speaker 4: the time would be working. Again, I think the time
- 5:00Speaker 4: works for him in the Seahawks. Now, let's unders underscore
- 5:05Speaker 4: again how vital he is. He is central to their
- 5:08Speaker 4: game plan. He is why the Seahawks are unique on defense,
- 5:12Speaker 4: why they stay in five and six defensive backs with
- 5:14Speaker 4: the light boxes like he was talking about, no matter
- 5:16Speaker 4: what the personnel for.
- 5:17Speaker 5: The other team is.
- 5:20Speaker 4: Mike McDonald's game plan for this Super Bowl and for
- 5:23Speaker 4: every game since he got back from his high ankle sprain,
- 5:25Speaker 4: which does this does not, by the way, appear to
- 5:28Speaker 4: be a high ankle sprain for even worry, but his
- 5:30Speaker 4: game every game plan, including for the Super Bowl, is
- 5:32Speaker 4: centered around Nick emun worry. We're gonna move him from
- 5:36Speaker 4: the back to the front on this play. We're gonna
- 5:38Speaker 4: move him to the edge on this play. We're gonna
- 5:39Speaker 4: have him cart cover this guy in this play. We're
- 5:42Speaker 4: gonna have him come and this guy in this play.
- 5:44Speaker 4: He is a fulcrum guy. And because this is the
- 5:48Speaker 4: number one ranked defense in the league, that he is
- 5:50Speaker 4: a folk from guy to the entire team. They have
- 5:53Speaker 4: such great players on defense, but yet I don't know
- 5:56Speaker 4: if there's a more important one than Nick emun worry.
- 5:58Speaker 4: This is a huge, huge day between now and Sunday.
- 6:01Speaker 3: Greg I played in Denver. Shannon Sharp had a chronic ankle.
- 6:06Speaker 3: He was constantly missing practice, having to get injections every week,
- 6:09Speaker 3: you know, and there's I can't remember all the details,
- 6:12Speaker 3: but it was far less than an ideal ankle. Is
- 6:15Speaker 3: this the same ankle? Is there any concern within the
- 6:18Speaker 3: building that this could be the you know, foreshadowing some
- 6:22Speaker 3: chronic situation with the ankle, Like, what do we know
- 6:26Speaker 3: about that if we're obviously we're focused on the super Bowl,
- 6:28Speaker 3: but we're also with this young man focusing on the
- 6:31Speaker 3: rest of his Seattle career.
- 6:33Speaker 5: Yeah, we don't know that yet, And I don't know.
- 6:38Speaker 6: I don't believe from what they initially have said, but
- 6:40Speaker 6: they were doing to new test last night, whether he's
- 6:43Speaker 6: it's the same ankle or not. This one appears to
- 6:45Speaker 6: be the right ankle from how he was limping into
- 6:48Speaker 6: the hotel last night.
- 6:50Speaker 4: I I don't know that it's the same if it was.
- 6:55Speaker 4: To me. Again, I'm not a medical professional, and I
- 6:59Speaker 4: maybe shouldn't even this supposition.
- 7:01Speaker 5: But in my experience of dealing with guys.
- 7:03Speaker 4: With hi ankle sprains, which is the four to six
- 7:06Speaker 4: week or two months or more deal, you aren't walking
- 7:10Speaker 4: into the hotel, you're not walking off the field, you're
- 7:13Speaker 4: getting carded, you're in a boot, you're you're on crutches
- 7:17Speaker 4: leaving the field.
- 7:19Speaker 5: That didn't happen yesterday to my knowledge.
- 7:22Speaker 4: Now again, let me explain for everyone, the Super Bowl
- 7:26Speaker 4: practices have just a single reporter and a single photographer.
- 7:31Speaker 4: The NFL and the Pro Football Writers Association is signing
- 7:33Speaker 4: a pool reporter to that practice.
- 7:36Speaker 5: It's a close practice. Aside from that.
- 7:38Speaker 4: So that poll reporter, it's everybody in the world trying
- 7:41Speaker 4: to find about Nick even worries what happened.
- 7:43Speaker 7: To practice yesterday. Rely on that poll reporter. That poll
- 7:47Speaker 7: reporter is task in fact, has to required to be
- 7:52Speaker 7: very literal in what he or she sees, and she
- 7:56Speaker 7: wrote that he walked off the field. She wrote that
- 7:59Speaker 7: players and co just came over to comfort him.
- 8:02Speaker 4: She wrote McDonald's quote after practice that we're gonna wait
- 8:05Speaker 4: and see it sounded ominous. A lot of people picked
- 8:09Speaker 4: up on. Coaches and players came over and comforted him. Well,
- 8:14Speaker 4: that could have been giving him a hand and pulling
- 8:17Speaker 4: him off the ground, which happens every time someone falls
- 8:19Speaker 4: on a football field. But the point is none of
- 8:24Speaker 4: us really know a lot because only one person outside
- 8:27Speaker 4: of a Sea employee, was allowed to be at that
- 8:29Speaker 4: practice yesterday. Again, it'll be topic one when we talked
- 8:33Speaker 4: to Mike McDonald at about ten thirty to day.
- 8:35Speaker 1: Yeah, no doubt about it. I kind of just want to,
- 8:39Speaker 1: you know, resume this conversation getting ready for the Patriots game.
- 8:44Speaker 1: Just am I foolish to just like, let's just pretend
- 8:49Speaker 1: he's going to be there. Let's just I mean, now
- 8:53Speaker 1: it sounds like I hope he's going to be there.
- 8:56Speaker 1: But boy, it changes the analysis, does it, not, Hugh,
- 8:59Speaker 1: as you get if I asked the question, how are
- 9:01Speaker 1: you going to defend the Patriots and Drake May this Sunday.
- 9:06Speaker 1: Now we've got to say, well, how do you defend
- 9:07Speaker 1: him with Emon Warri? How do you defend him without
- 9:10Speaker 1: Eman Warrick?
- 9:11Speaker 3: Indeed, yeah, there's there's he's inevitable one of one, and
- 9:17Speaker 3: so there's nobody who's going to replace him. But uh,
- 9:21Speaker 3: you know they've they've played Nickel before, as we've said, Uh,
- 9:27Speaker 3: we've had with Devin Witherspoon and remind me again, who's
- 9:31Speaker 3: twenty three? Uh Greg earlier in the season twenty three
- 9:37Speaker 3: for of these yeah, twenty three. Yeah, like you remember how.
- 9:43Speaker 5: Well they had Darren Kendrick the Times playing in the
- 9:45Speaker 5: nical position.
- 9:46Speaker 3: Yes, I mean, so they've.
- 9:48Speaker 5: Fanned Tyle Kada trying to do Nick even Warriors more against.
- 9:50Speaker 3: The Yeah, and so yeah, there's there's nobody.
- 9:57Speaker 4: Here and the Anthony d Anthony bell Is twenty three,
- 9:59Speaker 4: who came up from the practice squad.
- 10:01Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, but he was he was playing back early
- 10:03Speaker 3: in the season. I mean, they've had a consortium of
- 10:05Speaker 3: guys in there and and it's just a substantial drop off,
- 10:09Speaker 3: but you know it's it's Paul the Seahawks have been
- 10:11Speaker 3: really lucky going into the NFC Championship game. Every single
- 10:15Speaker 3: guy that you if we were talking in July and
- 10:18Speaker 3: we're projecting the obviously there's more than eleven starters on
- 10:22Speaker 3: defense air quotes, you know upwards eight you know, eighteen
- 10:26Speaker 3: guys greg that you would consider Okay, these guys are
- 10:29Speaker 3: playing significant role. The rotation guys, you know, four defensive
- 10:33Speaker 3: ends not to you know, if you were saying the
- 10:35Speaker 3: twenty guys that you're counting on just the defense, all
- 10:39Speaker 3: twenty of them were healthy, available full practice prior to
- 10:43Speaker 3: the RAM game. And you know, actually I was talking
- 10:47Speaker 3: to Mac Jones yesterday, the backup quarterback for the forty
- 10:50Speaker 3: nine ers, and we were talking about the Seahawk defense
- 10:52Speaker 3: and wanted his impression because he's been in these meetings
- 10:55Speaker 3: just a few weeks ago. And he made a few
- 10:57Speaker 3: comments about how well coached they are, hard is to
- 11:00Speaker 3: get the big play. But he also mentioned they're they're
- 11:04Speaker 3: really healthy. It's like they're insanely healthy.
- 11:06Speaker 1: Now.
- 11:06Speaker 3: I think at the time he said it again was
- 11:09Speaker 3: yesterday afternoon. I didn't think he knew obviously he didn't
- 11:11Speaker 3: know about em and worry, but that that's something Seattle
- 11:13Speaker 3: has been fortunate and now you're kind of dealing with
- 11:17Speaker 3: real ball.
- 11:18Speaker 1: Wow. Yeah, it's a huge story. We'll be dealing with it,
- 11:22Speaker 1: of course the next couple of days, no question about it.
- 11:25Speaker 1: You know, you talk about that defense though. Two weeks
- 11:28Speaker 1: to prepare, prepare for Jade and Daniels and the Seahawks
- 11:31Speaker 1: just dominated them. Two weeks to prepare for the San
- 11:36Speaker 1: Francisco forty nine ers, and Mike McDonald's defense just dominated
- 11:40Speaker 1: the game. Two weeks to prepare for the Super Bowl
- 11:43Speaker 1: even without Eman Worri Hugh does is Mike McDonald Can
- 11:48Speaker 1: we just come to expect that. They used to say
- 11:50Speaker 1: that about Joe Paterno. Don't give Joe Paterno a month
- 11:52Speaker 1: to prepare for a Bowl game, You're not gonna win it. Yeah,
- 11:54Speaker 1: give Mike McDonald two weeks to prepare for any team
- 11:57Speaker 1: Emon Worri or Emon worriy less is we got to
- 12:00Speaker 1: feel really good about that. Yeah.
- 12:01Speaker 3: Well, and there's the bye before the Commander game that
- 12:03Speaker 3: they that was as dominant as they've been they had
- 12:06Speaker 3: the ten days before the forty nine ers, even going
- 12:09Speaker 3: back to last year, Like if you want to hit
- 12:12Speaker 3: every time McDonald's had some extra days. Yes, Now Patriots
- 12:15Speaker 3: obviously have had that extra week as well. You know,
- 12:20Speaker 3: I think, yes, I'm very I'm confident in in how
- 12:23Speaker 3: the defense can play. Obviously aim and worry that this
- 12:26Speaker 3: is this is a this major Yeah, this is a
- 12:29Speaker 3: setback if he is something less than one hundred percent
- 12:33Speaker 3: or doesn't play. I mean there's been a little bit.
- 12:36Speaker 3: You know, Seattle was number one in the NFL in
- 12:41Speaker 3: uh in so many rush defensive categories over the last month,
- 12:48Speaker 3: which is three three since since I should say since
- 12:51Speaker 3: the beginning of the year. That's three games for Seattle.
- 12:55Speaker 3: They they're four and a half yards per attempt defensively
- 12:59Speaker 3: per rushtempt. That's only twenty second league. The Patriots are three.
- 13:04Speaker 3: It's three point zero again, and so the Patriots are
- 13:07Speaker 3: getting better Seattle. You know, that's not real concerning, but
- 13:10Speaker 3: they've they've slipped a little bit. So so I think
- 13:15Speaker 3: I'm mostly confident because I've got four months of watching
- 13:18Speaker 3: them stop the run. But if I if I heavily
- 13:22Speaker 3: weighted towards most recent I'm not quite you know, there's
- 13:25Speaker 3: there's I could envision a little bit of like WHOA,
- 13:28Speaker 3: we're giving up a little we're a little too soft
- 13:30Speaker 3: against the Patriot running game, particularly since they insert Jack Westover.
- 13:35Speaker 3: You know, again calling hardball, there's most teams do not
- 13:39Speaker 3: have a fullback. So the way you trigger on your
- 13:43Speaker 3: run fits. It's a certain way. That's how you practice it,
- 13:47Speaker 3: that's how you play it every week. You have a
- 13:49Speaker 3: certain tempo with which you hit those holes. When there's
- 13:52Speaker 3: a full back. Now you have to guard both sides
- 13:56Speaker 3: of the gap. It's not enough to be in the
- 13:57Speaker 3: B gap between the guard and the tackle. You have
- 13:59Speaker 3: to have two guys in the big gap, one on
- 14:01Speaker 3: the inside and one on the outside. And oh, by
- 14:03Speaker 3: the way, you don't get to just choose based on
- 14:07Speaker 3: the structure. You said, Oh, no, I have the outside
- 14:09Speaker 3: shade of the B gap because I know my you know,
- 14:12Speaker 3: you know, whatever player from the inside, he's gonna have
- 14:14Speaker 3: the inside shade. So there's just a little bit more
- 14:17Speaker 3: that's involved when you have a team that wants to
- 14:19Speaker 3: use his fullback as much like yeah, you're right.
- 14:22Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, And Greg, I don't know. I mean, the
- 14:25Speaker 1: Patriots have been using Ramandre Stevenson throughout the playoffs and
- 14:28Speaker 1: not much the big play running back in traveon Henderson,
- 14:32Speaker 1: But they've also been playing on snow and ice and
- 14:35Speaker 1: fog and everything else. They're gonna have a dry track
- 14:39Speaker 1: on Sunday. Will we see more Henderson? Do you think
- 14:42Speaker 1: Mike McDonald's preparing for that? And then also in in
- 14:45Speaker 1: addition to that, Drake may and his ability to run
- 14:48Speaker 1: the football, what kind of concern is that for the
- 14:50Speaker 1: Seahawks to defend the run.
- 14:52Speaker 4: I think Drake may running the ball is the biggest
- 14:54Speaker 4: key to the game for the defense. He John Schnyder
- 14:59Speaker 4: calls him a running BA who also throws, which he
- 15:02Speaker 4: meant that as a compliment to his running, not a
- 15:04Speaker 4: slight to his throwing. They haven't faced a quarterback like this.
- 15:07Speaker 4: They faced running, well mobile quarterbacks such as Drake Baker Mayfield,
- 15:11Speaker 4: who hurt him for thirty eight points when the Seahawks
- 15:14Speaker 4: missing four starters in October than that loss in Bloomenfield.
- 15:19Speaker 4: But Drake may is a different deal. He's not going
- 15:22Speaker 4: to just extend place. He'll tuck the ball under his
- 15:24Speaker 4: arm and just run like a running back. He injured
- 15:27Speaker 4: his shoulder in the FC title game. Stiff arm and
- 15:29Speaker 4: a guy running the ball down the field against the
- 15:31Speaker 4: Broncos in the snow. I think that is a unique
- 15:34Speaker 4: challenge that gets more unique if Emon Warri can't play.
- 15:38Speaker 4: I could see the Seahawks almost using an Eman Warrior
- 15:40Speaker 4: as a spy on Drake, may perhaps not abandoning pass coverage,
- 15:45Speaker 4: but being the guy that if he runs, if the
- 15:47Speaker 4: quarterback runs, Emon Warry, you got him. You're gonna be
- 15:50Speaker 4: the unblocked guy to combat that. That's again how central
- 15:54Speaker 4: Hman Warrior is to the game plan. Stevenson is like
- 15:57Speaker 4: a bowling ball back Bettis or Nick Bell or those
- 16:01Speaker 4: old big gigantic back He's he runs like that a
- 16:04Speaker 4: downhill guy Rented Jacobs.
- 16:07Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean koy a go way back.
- 16:10Speaker 4: But that's how Vrabel wants to play. And that's an
- 16:14Speaker 4: attitude type of running back that. Yeah, they're going to
- 16:17Speaker 4: establish that and then have Drake maybe the other runner.
- 16:20Speaker 4: I would think that's going to be the one too
- 16:22Speaker 4: that the Seahawks I'm sure have a is a center
- 16:25Speaker 4: of their game play. That again, I'm gonna emphasize the
- 16:30Speaker 4: Emon Worry thing is a huge deal. He's central to
- 16:33Speaker 4: the super Bowl. He's central to this team being having
- 16:36Speaker 4: gotten to the super Bowl and it's now story a
- 16:39Speaker 4: it's the story. I'll be right now until kickoff and
- 16:41Speaker 4: threw kickoff on Sunday, no doubt.
- 16:43Speaker 3: He But if if we knew he was out, how
- 16:45Speaker 3: much would it switch the line? I mean, you don't
- 16:47Speaker 3: often see you know, obviously quarterbacks move a line by
- 16:51Speaker 3: a touchdown. But but you know, Mike McDonald is, i'm
- 16:55Speaker 3: sure is saying, well, we've been you know, really healthy
- 16:58Speaker 3: and and so we got a plan. He's just gonna
- 17:02Speaker 3: accept it as the you know, part of doing business. So,
- 17:04Speaker 3: you know, thought about Trevan Henderson and his big playability.
- 17:08Speaker 3: If you remember, for me as a college football fan,
- 17:12Speaker 3: you'd say the last two or three years, one of
- 17:14Speaker 3: the all time just lightning bolts from nowhere was if
- 17:18Speaker 3: you remember the very end of the second quarter when
- 17:20Speaker 3: Ohio State was playing Texas and the Cotton Bowl and
- 17:25Speaker 3: Henderson got this screen. It was like ten seconds to
- 17:28Speaker 3: go in the first half and Texas took all these
- 17:33Speaker 3: bad angles and he took it seventy five yards on
- 17:37Speaker 3: really was just kind of like, hey, let's just you know,
- 17:40Speaker 3: run out the clock and a seventy five yard touchdown.
- 17:44Speaker 3: He was running by everybody, so you better be aware
- 17:47Speaker 3: of his speed. As for drake Man is running to
- 17:50Speaker 3: Bill a sixty one scrambled quarterback scrambles. What's a scramble?
- 17:53Speaker 3: That's when the official play by play guy in the
- 17:55Speaker 3: press box says, well, that was a called past. The
- 17:58Speaker 3: quarterback was in the pocket, he elect to run. He
- 18:00Speaker 3: had sixty one of those, and he had eighteen for
- 18:04Speaker 3: ten or more yards this season, which Lamar Jackson in
- 18:10Speaker 3: his entire careers only had two seasons more than eighteen.
- 18:15Speaker 3: And Kyler Murray you think of him as a scrambling threat, right,
- 18:19Speaker 3: He's never had a season where he's had as many
- 18:22Speaker 3: as eighteen, not even close. Actually eighteen runs ten or more,
- 18:27Speaker 3: you know, So this is a guy. And then so
- 18:31Speaker 3: those are the scrambles. Then you throw on the tape.
- 18:33Speaker 3: There's forty one design rushes. I filtered that watched the
- 18:38Speaker 3: whole tape, mostly quarterback sneaks and take a knee. Only
- 18:42Speaker 3: three plays where it was red zone and he kept
- 18:44Speaker 3: the ball in the alley out wide all right. I
- 18:46Speaker 3: would have thought it was more given his athleticism. But
- 18:50Speaker 3: the quarterback draw very prominent, scored a touchdown in the
- 18:53Speaker 3: AFC Championship game, and so Mike McDonald's got to be
- 18:57Speaker 3: very careful of the front that he employs, how because
- 19:01Speaker 3: with the quarterback draw at the halfback is the lead
- 19:04Speaker 3: blocker on a linebacker there, so you get an extra
- 19:07Speaker 3: blocker inserted than the uncovered lineman. He takes the other linebacker,
- 19:11Speaker 3: and so if you get too wide or you don't
- 19:14Speaker 3: have a safety, you know, in a position, the quarterback
- 19:17Speaker 3: draw can really influence what kind of coverages you play down,
- 19:20Speaker 3: particularly down in the red zone.
- 19:21Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, and yeah, I feel a lot better with
- 19:25Speaker 1: Emon Warrey on the field dealing with this ability from
- 19:28Speaker 1: their quarterback you think to be able to run the football.
- 19:31Speaker 4: My good feeling, guy is he's gonna play. If I
- 19:35Speaker 4: had right now, guests, I think he's gonna play. I
- 19:37Speaker 4: don't know that he'll be a full even worry, but
- 19:40Speaker 4: I think he's gonna play.
- 19:41Speaker 1: But but Greg, okay, seventy five eighty, what does he
- 19:46Speaker 1: need to be? Well?
- 19:47Speaker 3: Okay, there's a two play sequence in the NFC Championship game.
- 19:51Speaker 3: He sheds the block from the tight end and the
- 19:55Speaker 3: running back was trying to bounce and he catch for
- 19:57Speaker 3: zero yards. The very next play lines up in the
- 19:59Speaker 3: slot against Davante Adams and man coverage Davante Adams runs
- 20:03Speaker 3: an intermediate dig route in breaking route, and he's blanking
- 20:06Speaker 3: him one. I could see him if his ankle's less
- 20:10Speaker 3: than first full strength, you know, kind of gutting out. Okay,
- 20:13Speaker 3: fight off the tight end and make the first play
- 20:15Speaker 3: that I described. It's in close quarters. I can't see
- 20:18Speaker 3: him lining up on a slot and covering Stefan Diggs.
- 20:23Speaker 3: You know, you know, twelve fourteen, sixteen yards down the field.
- 20:27Speaker 3: If he's if I mean, if he's not twinkletoes out
- 20:30Speaker 3: there in ability to run. He's two unor twenty pounds.
- 20:32Speaker 3: I'm not going to run with a wide receiver on
- 20:34Speaker 3: a downfield route.
- 20:36Speaker 1: Yeah, he's pretty fast though, pretty freakish, pretty freakish, true.
- 20:39Speaker 3: But then it's the change of direction. You know then
- 20:43Speaker 3: because you're mirroring. Okay, are you breaking in or you
- 20:45Speaker 3: breaking out?
- 20:45Speaker 1: Oh?
- 20:45Speaker 3: You're breaking it that you now you have to be
- 20:47Speaker 3: there's a suddenness that you need that I would think
- 20:50Speaker 3: would if you have a I mean, we've all sprained
- 20:52Speaker 3: an ankle at some point playing hoop, right when.
- 20:54Speaker 1: We had seven o'clock hour.
- 20:56Speaker 3: Yeah, no, you're playing horse and you sprain your ankle.
- 21:02Speaker 3: Come on that.
- 21:05Speaker 1: Telling Fibbs again. But so.
- 21:09Speaker 3: You know, I think that the acceleration and the immediate
- 21:14Speaker 3: response trying to be explosive, that's where it's going to
- 21:16Speaker 3: hurt him.
- 21:16Speaker 1: Humel and Greg Bell. It's a twelve man round table
- 21:19Speaker 1: super Bowl edition. We'll continue on the other side. We'll
- 21:21Speaker 1: talk some Sam Darnold and other aspects of this Super
- 21:24Speaker 1: Bowl showdown on Sports Radio ninety three point three kJ RFM.
- 21:28Speaker 5: Here's Chucking Budd.
- 21:33Speaker 1: All right, Missy Day here at Radio Row celebrities everywhere.
- 21:38Speaker 1: Just saw Christian McCaffrey. Turns out he didn't get a
- 21:40Speaker 1: forty one to six tattoo on his arm. A little
- 21:43Speaker 1: surprised by that. I thought that would have been an impactful
- 21:45Speaker 1: moment in his life and he'd like to remind himself. Yeah,
- 21:47Speaker 1: I bet he'd probably forget that.
- 21:49Speaker 3: Yeah, he still has the tattoo, it's just of a
- 21:52Speaker 3: different sort.
- 21:53Speaker 1: Yes, it's our twelve man roundtable here on a Thursday.
- 21:56Speaker 1: We got our Seahawks inside of Greg Bell, who's already
- 21:59Speaker 1: given us an update on nick em and Warri and
- 22:01Speaker 1: as big of a story as it is, uh, I mean,
- 22:04Speaker 1: we've got other topics certainly to discuss here for the
- 22:07Speaker 1: rest of our time together on the roundtable, we haven't
- 22:10Speaker 1: even talked about our quarterback, you, Sam Donald. I still
- 22:14Speaker 1: hear the whispers of doubt about Sam Donald. Why is
- 22:18Speaker 1: Hugh Millan not worried about Sam Donald?
- 22:20Speaker 3: Or I promise if he has a bad game, it's
- 22:21Speaker 3: gonna be right back there. They're gonna they're gonna forget
- 22:25Speaker 3: everything that happened this year. So yeah, it's just seems
- 22:28Speaker 3: to be his lot in life, uh, as a quarterback.
- 22:31Speaker 3: But uh, yeah, there's there's some concerns watching the tape.
- 22:36Speaker 3: I think the the Patriots remember now in year one
- 22:39Speaker 3: with the coach, they have been getting better, improving along lines.
- 22:42Speaker 3: Hard to sort through what's the weather and what isn't,
- 22:45Speaker 3: but I take note of, uh of what the uh
- 22:49Speaker 3: the Patriots were doing against the Chargers, you know, creating
- 22:53Speaker 3: a lot of mayhem with the you know, pushing Chargers.
- 22:57Speaker 3: Frankly looked. Now, I know the Chargers have are missed
- 23:00Speaker 3: and both their offensive tackles and and they're prize ones
- 23:03Speaker 3: at that, but they just looked totally unprepared to handle
- 23:07Speaker 3: the blitzes and pressures. Justin Herbert was under siege. I
- 23:10Speaker 3: think that the secondary certainly for the the uh the
- 23:14Speaker 3: Patriots are They're fast, aggressive, they're better than the Rams.
- 23:18Speaker 3: You know, everybody talks about Gonzales, but by Carlton Davis
- 23:22Speaker 3: on the other side, big safety, he's he's he's long
- 23:27Speaker 3: and athletic. The guy in the slot, Marcus Jones is
- 23:32Speaker 3: h he's giving up a passer rating of one hundred
- 23:34Speaker 3: and six. By the way, Chris Christian Gonzalez giving up
- 23:38Speaker 3: a passer rating of fifty eight. So you know, you
- 23:41Speaker 3: probably want to find some opportunities. The Patriots have been
- 23:45Speaker 3: playing more manned man, so there's be some opportunities and
- 23:49Speaker 3: uh and and Greg, I just think, well, we'll talk
- 23:54Speaker 3: about some of the the uh, the issues with the
- 23:57Speaker 3: offensive line, but but as far as the secondary, it's
- 23:59Speaker 3: gonna stay up, step up in terms of the challenge,
- 24:04Speaker 3: different cut of steak. With that Patriots secondary there.
- 24:07Speaker 5: Really good at outside. There are numbers, they are anecdotes
- 24:12Speaker 5: from coaches around the league. It's throwing outside is top.
- 24:16Speaker 4: And of course the Seahawks have done that with Jackson
- 24:18Speaker 4: Smith and Jigba primarily quite a bit. Rashid Shaheed can
- 24:22Speaker 4: come in really handy in this game. And I know
- 24:26Speaker 4: Chuck has been lauding that all week down here he
- 24:30Speaker 4: could be a big factor down deep down the middle
- 24:33Speaker 4: of the field and making their safeties have to choose
- 24:35Speaker 4: between him and Smith and Jigba. Smith and Jigba, though
- 24:38Speaker 4: he has this sense, he has a really great ability
- 24:42Speaker 4: of even when he's covered, to use the guy on
- 24:44Speaker 4: his back and like a basketball player boxing out somebody
- 24:47Speaker 4: for a rebound. And Darnold has gotten to the point
- 24:49Speaker 4: where he trusts thrown even to Smith and Jegba, even
- 24:53Speaker 4: when he's covered, and he's gonna probably do it against
- 24:56Speaker 4: Christian Zals in the game on Sunday. They feel very
- 25:01Speaker 4: confident that Smith and Jigba can beat any defense, and
- 25:06Speaker 4: I think you're going to see that again on Sunday.
- 25:09Speaker 4: I still think Kenneth Walker is the key to this
- 25:10Speaker 4: whole thing. This set him up into short third downs
- 25:14Speaker 4: where Kubiak can run any formations, anything get him to
- 25:18Speaker 4: where it's fourth and one, so they can use Barner
- 25:20Speaker 4: and the tight end keeper so that they can be
- 25:22Speaker 4: a four down offense, which is a hell of a
- 25:25Speaker 4: lot harder to defend for a defense than a three
- 25:27Speaker 4: down offense. Kenneth Walker early downs key to the Seattle's offense
- 25:31Speaker 4: doing everything it wants to do.
- 25:33Speaker 1: What were your concerns on the offensive line.
- 25:36Speaker 3: Well, my concerns are the two defensive tackles for the
- 25:41Speaker 3: Patriots and Milton Williams. You know, they fetched him from
- 25:46Speaker 3: the the Eagles and free agency, paid him a lot
- 25:49Speaker 3: of money and he's been a disruptor. He hasn't been
- 25:52Speaker 3: healthy all the year, but there's there's a big difference
- 25:54Speaker 3: when he's on the field. And yet you know, Leonard
- 25:58Speaker 3: Williams had forty nine pro this year, Byron Murphy had
- 26:02Speaker 3: fifty one. The other guy, not Milton Williams, the other guy,
- 26:06Speaker 3: Christian Barmour at sixty one second in the NFL. So
- 26:11Speaker 3: they've got a couple defensive tackles that are the They're thick,
- 26:17Speaker 3: but they're athletic, and so there's a concern there. With
- 26:20Speaker 3: Anthony Bradford, there's a concern Jalen Sindell is I don't
- 26:26Speaker 3: want to say unique, but there's a very clear, defined
- 26:30Speaker 3: set of attributes about him. Very athletic but not strong,
- 26:35Speaker 3: and so some of the bull rushes that we're liable
- 26:37Speaker 3: to see. I think that's a factor now in the
- 26:40Speaker 3: last four weeks for the Patriots, they have twenty one
- 26:45Speaker 3: pressures per game. That's number one in the NFL. The
- 26:49Speaker 3: Seahawks at six have sixteen their tenth. But again getting
- 26:53Speaker 3: back to the Patriots, here's the thing Greg. Watch the tape,
- 26:57Speaker 3: particularly the end zone copy. It's how they line. They
- 27:00Speaker 3: are taking their defensive tackles, and they are lining on
- 27:04Speaker 3: the head of the offensive tackles way wide, and then
- 27:07Speaker 3: the defensive ends are even wider. Still they are leaving
- 27:11Speaker 3: leaving a lot of a gaps open and even some
- 27:16Speaker 3: case one or more b gaps. When they line up
- 27:18Speaker 3: on third down and I look at it down and DiscId, go,
- 27:20Speaker 3: what is this third and fifteen? No, it's third and four,
- 27:23Speaker 3: it's third and seven, And so that is unsound that
- 27:26Speaker 3: like like that cannot you cannot let them line up
- 27:30Speaker 3: that way. So if I don't know if there's I
- 27:32Speaker 3: know there's all kinds of futures bets, but if there's
- 27:34Speaker 3: some kind of futures bet of Seattle running the ball
- 27:38Speaker 3: right up the middle on third and medium, take that
- 27:41Speaker 3: bet Seattle has to do that.
- 27:43Speaker 1: They can't.
- 27:43Speaker 3: You can't let them line up with all those interior
- 27:46Speaker 3: gaps totally unmanned. And because what happens is the guards
- 27:51Speaker 3: they have to be with that wide alignment that both
- 27:54Speaker 3: Zabel and Bradford they have to fan out. They have
- 27:58Speaker 3: to get wider to go reach those guys. That's not
- 28:00Speaker 3: something they're used to. And then they're vulnerable back to
- 28:03Speaker 3: moves inside. And so it's a relatively unique front and
- 28:10Speaker 3: Seattle can't let them get away with it because it's unsound.
- 28:12Speaker 1: And third and Meetia sounds like Walker has I have
- 28:15Speaker 1: a big game, Mayor Greg.
- 28:17Speaker 5: He's the key.
- 28:19Speaker 4: They don't need to be in second and ten and
- 28:21Speaker 4: twelve and eight and nine. They need to be in
- 28:22Speaker 4: second and four and five. And if you see second
- 28:25Speaker 4: in four and five, I think Seattle is going to
- 28:27Speaker 4: do what they need to do offensively and have enough
- 28:30Speaker 4: on defense to win the game. I keep saying the
- 28:35Speaker 4: game plan for Seattle basically is no team is going
- 28:39Speaker 4: to score multiple touchdowns on us, driving seventy five plus
- 28:42Speaker 4: yards on this defense.
- 28:43Speaker 5: So let's play that way.
- 28:45Speaker 4: And we saw it so much in that Week eighteen game,
- 28:48Speaker 4: the last time the Seaux were in the stadium.
- 28:49Speaker 5: Down here in Santa Clara.
- 28:51Speaker 4: That's exactly how McDonald played, and he's gonna play that
- 28:54Speaker 4: way on Sunday. Get a first down or two with
- 28:57Speaker 4: Kenneth Walker getting some good early down yard so that
- 29:00Speaker 4: it's third and easy and then get first downs. To
- 29:03Speaker 4: get the ball to midfield, you have to punt from there.
- 29:05Speaker 4: Dixon pins New England back on its own goal line,
- 29:08Speaker 4: three and out. They get the ball back of the
- 29:10Speaker 4: drive start at the plus sad or maybe the fifty
- 29:12Speaker 4: yard line. That's that's the game. That's the game plan
- 29:15Speaker 4: because they don't think New England and Drake May's offense
- 29:18Speaker 4: will drive seventy five plus yards all day for multiple scores.
- 29:22Speaker 4: So that's where Kenneth Walker comes in. I talked to
- 29:25Speaker 4: Kenneth Walker yesterday, more of it off the record than on.
- 29:29Speaker 4: He's well aware of the stakes of tomorrow's Gabe.
- 29:32Speaker 5: Let's put it that way.
- 29:33Speaker 4: He has been penned in shall we say, the entire season,
- 29:38Speaker 4: not exactly of his own accord. This is a gigantic
- 29:43Speaker 4: million dollar, tens of millions of dollar opportunity for him
- 29:46Speaker 4: on Sunday, and.
- 29:47Speaker 1: The fact that he just changed agents is a clear.
- 29:50Speaker 5: D Monday before the NFC title game.
- 29:53Speaker 3: Yeah, that's clear indicator money's on his mind, which is,
- 29:55Speaker 3: you know, fine, there's a lot of people in a
- 29:57Speaker 3: lot of industries that are motivated by money just want
- 30:00Speaker 3: to motivate it. Yeah, yeah, you know, and so yeah,
- 30:02Speaker 3: you don't have Cyberne. Obviously, give a motivated dude the rock. Yeah,
- 30:07Speaker 3: even if it's very talented.
- 30:08Speaker 1: Go have a Timmy Smith day and then get paid
- 30:11Speaker 1: and bulk up with another team for all I care.
- 30:14Speaker 1: But Sunday be great.
- 30:15Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, yeah, Well they need him back.
- 30:19Speaker 4: They need to resign him because Charbonne is not coming
- 30:21Speaker 4: back anytime soon. He's gonna miss most of training camp
- 30:24Speaker 4: up hears. Yeah, but they have really handled that this
- 30:28Speaker 4: year in a way that doesn't suggest they're going to
- 30:30Speaker 4: want to bring him back, or maybe the Walker won't
- 30:32Speaker 4: even want to come back.
- 30:33Speaker 1: I'm interested.
- 30:34Speaker 3: First quarter kind of what the game plan is and
- 30:37Speaker 3: the running game because it was declared early. Against the
- 30:40Speaker 3: forty nine ers, the Seahawks thought they could get outside.
- 30:43Speaker 3: First play the game was a wide zone.
- 30:45Speaker 1: They hit.
- 30:46Speaker 3: They kept hitting the wide zones almost entirely to the
- 30:49Speaker 3: tight end side or the two tight end side. They
- 30:51Speaker 3: did have a weak side kind of sweep and a
- 30:54Speaker 3: quick pitch that you know, the reverses. They had a
- 30:56Speaker 3: lot of ways to get outside. Then against the Rams,
- 30:59Speaker 3: everything was inside zone what's called duo, which is you
- 31:02Speaker 3: know where where the point of attack uh is essentially
- 31:05Speaker 3: at the guards are right over the middle. And so
- 31:09Speaker 3: if you're if you're trying to do that RAM game plan,
- 31:12Speaker 3: then you're running into those guys bar More and Williams.
- 31:15Speaker 3: But but then the defensive ends, you know Vrabel, They've
- 31:21Speaker 3: always been guys that like, you can't play defense unless
- 31:24Speaker 3: your defensive ends can set the edge. They'll give up
- 31:28Speaker 3: twitch on on on the edges. And I know forty
- 31:32Speaker 3: four is the twitchiest of the of the m Yeah, yeah,
- 31:37Speaker 3: but but uh, you know, I'm I'm kind of fascinated
- 31:42Speaker 3: to see just watch first quarter. Are we trying to
- 31:44Speaker 3: run right at the middle, plunge right at the middle,
- 31:46Speaker 3: or we're trying to get walked right? You know, I
- 31:49Speaker 3: can make an argument either way. Maybe it'll be a blend,
- 31:53Speaker 3: but it was not a blend in the prior to games.
- 31:56Speaker 3: It was one or the other.
- 31:58Speaker 1: One more segment of round table for the Super Bowl
- 32:01Speaker 1: Sports Radio ninety three point three kJ RFM. Oh, my
- 32:11Speaker 1: final segment of the twelfth man round said, I'm kind
- 32:13Speaker 1: of like nervous about this all of a sudden, like
- 32:15Speaker 1: the game is here now, and it's like, this is
- 32:17Speaker 1: the last piece of advice that we're gonna get from
- 32:20Speaker 1: you on what needs to happen. This is the last
- 32:22Speaker 1: piece of information we're gonna get from Greg, the last
- 32:25Speaker 1: prediction of the season, from the last keys of the
- 32:28Speaker 1: game from Greg. Here we are, it's Super Bowl six day,
- 32:32Speaker 1: It's the last roundtable, Greg. What's gonna happen on Sunday?
- 32:37Speaker 5: Oh, I get the rest of the week off. I
- 32:39Speaker 5: guess it will be hearing from me.
- 32:41Speaker 4: No, No, I think, as I mentioned earlier, offensively, Kenneth
- 32:46Speaker 4: Walker is a huge key to getting yards on first
- 32:49Speaker 4: and second down, So it's third and anything that they
- 32:52Speaker 4: want to do on offense, and I think that they
- 32:55Speaker 4: are going to succeed in doing that. On defense, it's
- 32:58Speaker 4: really Drake made to me, keep Drake May from running
- 33:02Speaker 4: the ball.
- 33:03Speaker 5: If they can do that, they have the defense, the
- 33:07Speaker 5: pass rush.
- 33:09Speaker 4: The secondary to shut down the rest of what New
- 33:12Speaker 4: England's going to try to do. Drake May running the
- 33:14Speaker 4: ball is a gigantic factor in this game. So I
- 33:20Speaker 4: say it again, Sam Donald has not turned the ball
- 33:22Speaker 4: over the last four weeks and here they are in
- 33:24Speaker 4: the Super Bowl. If he doesn't turn the ball over,
- 33:27Speaker 4: I think the Seahawks win by multiple touchdowns. If he
- 33:30Speaker 4: does turn the ball.
- 33:31Speaker 5: Over, here we go.
- 33:33Speaker 4: New England has a short field and eighty five Bears
- 33:36Speaker 4: can't prevent people from scoring when they have first in
- 33:38Speaker 4: goal after a turnover. So that's the key. If Donald
- 33:41Speaker 4: does what he's done the last month, I think the
- 33:44Speaker 4: Seahawks win. I think they win twenty seven seventeen, twenty
- 33:49Speaker 4: seven to fourteen. I think it's a two score game.
- 33:52Speaker 4: And I just can't see Mike McDonald's defense getting marched
- 33:56Speaker 4: up and down the field on by this Patriots offense.
- 33:59Speaker 1: Great stuff, Big Bell, our Seahawks inside. Of course, you
- 34:02Speaker 1: can follow Greg at Thenewstribune dot com for complete coverage.
- 34:07Speaker 1: She'll be back with us at seven o'clock tomorrow. Here.
- 34:10Speaker 1: What advantages do you see the Seahawks defense having here?
- 34:14Speaker 3: Well, I look at the left side, particularly of the
- 34:16Speaker 3: Patriots offensive line, and even if you include the center
- 34:20Speaker 3: Garrett Bradbury, he's giving up the ninth most amount of
- 34:23Speaker 3: pressures of all centers, the left tackle Will Campbell rookie
- 34:28Speaker 3: sixth most amount of pressures. The left guard probably their
- 34:32Speaker 3: biggest hole on their football team. Jared Wilson third most
- 34:36Speaker 3: pressures of all left guards. You know he's there, Anthony
- 34:39Speaker 3: Bradford in a way, So I think Seattle's right side
- 34:45Speaker 3: of their defense to Drake May's left, there's gonna be
- 34:48Speaker 3: some pressures. Here's the thing that for the last two
- 34:51Speaker 3: years has been a concern for me is that Seattle
- 34:55Speaker 3: loses contained. Drake May, as an athletic right handed quarterback,
- 34:58Speaker 3: is going to have the impulse to to evade the
- 35:01Speaker 3: pressure that's gonna be coming from the left side of
- 35:03Speaker 3: his offensive line and try and get to the outside.
- 35:05Speaker 3: So whoever's the left end, you gotta contain. You can't
- 35:08Speaker 3: be selfish. You had DeMarcus Lawrence lose contained on Rock
- 35:13Speaker 3: Purdy late in the forty nine er game in Week one,
- 35:16Speaker 3: Perdy throws the touchdown past the tongas you can retrace that. Well,
- 35:19Speaker 3: if you kept Purty in the pocket, maybe he still
- 35:22Speaker 3: would have thrown a touchdown, but he would have thrown
- 35:24Speaker 3: that touchdown. So so that that is a big part
- 35:27Speaker 3: of this containing. And then you know, just to close
- 35:30Speaker 3: we started with Emon Warrey. My thoughts on even Worry
- 35:33Speaker 3: is a Sam linebacker.
- 35:35Speaker 1: Just think of that.
- 35:36Speaker 3: He's a He's an outside linebacker on the strong side.
- 35:38Speaker 3: He played single digit as a back end safety. He's
- 35:41Speaker 3: not it's not a Cam Chancer. In twenty thirteen, Cam
- 35:45Speaker 3: Chancer played four hundred and ten snaps as a post safety.
- 35:48Speaker 3: You think of Earl Thomas was a post safety. So
- 35:50Speaker 3: so you have even Worry is just a linebacker. And
- 35:54Speaker 3: so now who's gonna play that spot? They in the
- 35:57Speaker 3: past if when they played nickel, they've had Devin Witherspoon,
- 36:01Speaker 3: uh in earlier years, and when the hell he's been
- 36:04Speaker 3: the SAM linebacker. But the Patriots they play a lot
- 36:08Speaker 3: of fullback with Westover, they play, uh, they play with
- 36:11Speaker 3: six offensive lineman. Seattle's face that with four other teams,
- 36:14Speaker 3: the Cardinals, the Titans, the Panthers, and the Texans.
- 36:20Speaker 1: Okay, so they faced that before.
- 36:22Speaker 3: But when teams want to play that heavy personnel, you're
- 36:24Speaker 3: not gonna have Witherspoon as your SAM linebacker. And see
- 36:27Speaker 3: it's gonna either be a Cottam maybe Tyrese Knight. Uh.
- 36:30Speaker 3: You know these are talking hypothetically and vent that Amon
- 36:34Speaker 3: Worry can't play. I think he's gonna play, but I
- 36:35Speaker 3: don't think he's gonna bee hundred percent.
- 36:37Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I Greg final words of this hour. Then
- 36:41Speaker 1: Nick emon Worri is he gonna play?
- 36:45Speaker 5: Yeah? I think so.
- 36:46Speaker 4: One thing I do want to say to Sea Hawk fans, Cherry.
- 36:50Speaker 4: Maybe some I don't say this too, but some that
- 36:52Speaker 4: were became Seahawk fans at like twenty twelve think this
- 36:55Speaker 4: is almost like why I haven't Why has it been
- 36:57Speaker 4: eleven years since we've been here?
- 36:59Speaker 5: This is really hard to do.
- 37:01Speaker 4: It's no fargurd conclusion as good in young as his
- 37:03Speaker 4: team as that they're gonna come back next year. Enjoy
- 37:06Speaker 4: this because it may not happen for a while and
- 37:08Speaker 4: the league sets it up where you don't get back here.
