• 3:34
  Speaker 7: Voice is gone. I talked for people. Everyone was so nervous.
• 3:38
  Speaker 7: People showed up by halftime of the first game, like
• 3:41
  Speaker 7: just ready. So it was talking. And then I just
• 3:44
  Speaker 7: remember I was controlling the TV volume, turning it up
• 3:47
  Speaker 7: louder and louder so I could hear the game, but
• 3:50
  Speaker 7: the louder i'd turn it up, the louder everybody got.
• 3:53
  Speaker 7: So I just was talking over other people about the
• 3:57
  Speaker 7: game while everybody else was talking about other things. And
• 4:00
  Speaker 7: it was just the best experience of my entire life.
• 4:03
  Speaker 7: Everybody when Puka Akua made that catch and the clock
• 4:07
  Speaker 7: kept going, Yeah, it was like, I mean, I'm sure
• 4:11
  Speaker 7: that people too towns over could hear. I mean, we
• 4:14
  Speaker 7: just erupted. Everyone was hugging.
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: You live on a golf course, you need to respect Yeah,
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: why half that? I mean there could be wildlife out there.
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: What if Tiger Woods is trying to putt.
• 4:28
  Speaker 7: I hope that it ruined his putt.
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, boy, I mean he gets angry about it.
• 4:32
  Speaker 7: I hope I interrupted the coyotes sleep.
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: Was there anyone out there golfing during that game? Couldn't
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: have been.
• 4:38
  Speaker 7: We were Actually we've been closed because it's been so cold.
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: Oh I see, Well it was certainly hot indoors. As
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: the Seahawks get it done last night, thirty one to
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: twenty seven. A remarkable experience. But while we before we
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: dive in and we're dealing with emotions, Bucky, how are
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: you doing?
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: I'm all right, all right?
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: Sports?
• 5:00
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, kind of a fun football season for me.
• 5:04
  Speaker 6: Coll of Jann pro and then just to basically ended
• 5:08
  Speaker 6: at the same spot on both of them is a
• 5:10
  Speaker 6: bit disappointing.
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: But I was kind of.
• 5:13
  Speaker 6: I mean, after bo Nix goes down, it kind of took,
• 5:16
  Speaker 6: you know, some of the wind out of my sales
• 5:18
  Speaker 6: last weekend.
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: And and yet then I.
• 5:20
  Speaker 6: Had mustered up the thought, Okay, we can do something
• 5:23
  Speaker 6: and then get to the super Bowl and see what
• 5:25
  Speaker 6: can happen. Then it just didn't work out that way.
• 5:27
  Speaker 6: Fun game to watch, I mean, it wasn't with the
• 5:30
  Speaker 6: blizzard conditions in the second half that was fun. But yeah,
• 5:33
  Speaker 6: come up on the short end of sticks. Just part
• 5:35
  Speaker 6: of sports.
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: Wow, you that is a weird because add the Mariners,
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: You've gotten to the Final four with every team that
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: you've rooted for, Yeah, and then can't and then haven't
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: been able to are not trying hard enough?
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: I think.
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: I think.
• 5:50
  Speaker 6: I typically sit in the same place, but that's just
• 5:53
  Speaker 6: because I have one recliner and that's where I sit.
• 5:56
  Speaker 6: So it's not because of some stition or superstition. I
• 6:00
  Speaker 6: don't know if I'm not doing enough. I I you're
• 6:03
  Speaker 6: doing a lot.
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: I mean, you're getting there, but then I don't know,
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: maybe just not in it.
• 6:09
  Speaker 6: I don't I don't think it's because my heart's not
• 6:11
  Speaker 6: in it. I really really really wanted my teams to
• 6:14
  Speaker 6: win like really badly, and that day I just I'm
• 6:18
  Speaker 6: maybe I'm not superstitious enough.
• 6:22
  Speaker 9: Uh.
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: Then again, I mean I know where you can get
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: some lessons.
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know if I want to go that route.
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: I mean horse girl in there, and I don't mean
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: h O A R s E.
• 6:33
  Speaker 4: You don't think yeah Bronco horse like voice horse.
• 6:39
  Speaker 7: Yes, I don't know what happened, as I said, but
• 6:43
  Speaker 7: I when I woke up, I was like, oh, I
• 6:45
  Speaker 7: really talk because you cared enough. I did care. I
• 6:47
  Speaker 7: heard lots of a voice than my husband, who was
• 6:49
  Speaker 7: at the game.
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: I mean, your job is your voice, and yet you
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: put so much into it to try to get the
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: Seahawks to the super That's right. Look at Bucky's voice
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: sounds one.
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: Yeah, he didn't even any well, I mean, for what
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: his worth.
• 7:04
  Speaker 6: I actually was on the golf course during the Bronco game,
• 7:07
  Speaker 6: so I probably didn't get enough Bizzy win in a
• 7:10
  Speaker 6: golf tournament watching it on my phone.
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: The speaker. I went home and rewatch all the thing
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: got got done right about the time of the interception.
• 7:20
  Speaker 10: This Didham interception that and stickam pronoun Stickham Jared Jared
• 7:26
  Speaker 10: Stickham stuck him right in uh, you know, Gonzo's hands
• 7:30
  Speaker 10: and that one.
• 7:30
  Speaker 6: But yeah, it was a it was a great day,
• 7:33
  Speaker 6: I mean, great day of football all the way around.
• 7:35
  Speaker 6: Just just didn't typical for me, just didn't work out
• 7:37
  Speaker 6: the way that I won.
• 7:38
  Speaker 4: It typical lately.
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: Uh yeah, that's that's a strange stretch that you're fix
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: it by spring.
• 7:44
  Speaker 4: I will I'm already and as you can see it
• 7:46
  Speaker 4: on my shirt, I'm already in baseball season.
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, let's get that fixed before the baseball season starts.
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: Well, good morning to you all. I hope you had
• 7:55
  Speaker 4: a blast with it.
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: My goodness, Uh, what a game that was. That was
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: just so entertaining. Matthew Stafford is phenomenal, and yet Sam
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: Donald the oft criticized even right here in Seattle, ginger
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: bearded quarterback went out there the game was basically handed
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: over to him, despite the fact that he hardly practiced
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: it all this week to protect that oblique situation, and
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: he just.
• 8:23
  Speaker 4: Went out there and bawled.
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: I mean, he played one of the best games, if
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: not the best game, of his career in that contest.
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: Last night.
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: Mike McDonald went as far as saying that it was
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: one of the great games in the history of the
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: National Football League that he put out there individually and
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: even called out his critics, hoping that the performance by
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: Sam Donald has been enough to shut up a bunch
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: of those critics that even though he had a very
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: small sample size, he'd not proven that he could win
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: the big one. I mean, that's about as well as
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: you can play the position. I think, like one or
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: two one and a half balls in Harm's way. But
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: other than that, I mean, Matthew Stafford was balling out
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: last night, and Sam Donald might very well have outplayed
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: him in that game, and that that's just something special
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: that we got to see from number fourteen last night.
• 9:19
  Speaker 6: I mean, if there's still anybody that's a detractor of
• 9:22
  Speaker 6: Sam Donald, then they just that you just need to
• 9:25
  Speaker 6: put the hater aid down. I mean, if that was
• 9:27
  Speaker 6: a masterful performance, you needed every you You couldn't have
• 9:31
  Speaker 6: gotten away with one turnover, right, I Mean we've talked
• 9:34
  Speaker 6: about the first game and how he threw four and
• 9:36
  Speaker 6: you're like, man, if it was just three or two,
• 9:38
  Speaker 6: maybe that would have worked out, you know, And then
• 9:41
  Speaker 6: you know the second game, the way in which he
• 9:44
  Speaker 6: came back with all the things that had to happen
• 9:47
  Speaker 6: and led that one in when Matthew Stafford and the
• 9:50
  Speaker 6: Rams were putting up crazy numbers. It's it's pretty remarkable
• 9:55
  Speaker 6: for him to come out there and to have his
• 9:57
  Speaker 6: biggest game, in the biggest moment, to lead the team
• 9:59
  Speaker 6: there when obviously in the building, they've heard the detractors,
• 10:03
  Speaker 6: They've heard the people say, ah, remember what he did
• 10:06
  Speaker 6: last year in the playoffs. You know he was hearing
• 10:08
  Speaker 6: that is the number one seed. There's still people wanting
• 10:11
  Speaker 6: to doubt, and I get you can have a debate
• 10:13
  Speaker 6: about it. But the idea of if you just want
• 10:16
  Speaker 6: to stand on it and say, nap, he just doesn't
• 10:18
  Speaker 6: have what it takes. You're just stuck in whatever year
• 10:21
  Speaker 6: it was he was drafted by the Jets, You're just
• 10:23
  Speaker 6: stuck in that year.
• 10:23
  Speaker 4: You need to get over it.
• 10:24
  Speaker 6: Because he's led two teams in the last two years,
• 10:28
  Speaker 6: two different teams, two great performances during the regular season,
• 10:32
  Speaker 6: fell short obviously with Minnesota last year, but has done
• 10:35
  Speaker 6: nothing but perform like an All Star. I mean, for
• 10:38
  Speaker 6: these couple of games in the postseason here and you're right,
• 10:40
  Speaker 6: I mean he went against Matthew Stafford and Sean McVay,
• 10:44
  Speaker 6: who they had some shoot themselves in the foot moments
• 10:47
  Speaker 6: throughout the game. That kind of helped here. But Sam
• 10:50
  Speaker 6: Donald did everything he could have been asked to do.
• 10:52
  Speaker 6: He went out there, protected the ball, he delivered to
• 10:54
  Speaker 6: the right people on time, how he always talks about,
• 10:57
  Speaker 6: and led the team to the super Bowl. I mean,
• 10:58
  Speaker 6: it's you got to tip your captain, Sam Donald. If
• 11:01
  Speaker 6: you don't, then you just don't like gingers. And that's
• 11:03
  Speaker 6: on it.
• 11:03
  Speaker 7: Yeah, It's almost like the people that said he couldn't
• 11:06
  Speaker 7: win in the playoffs were premature, given that he'd only
• 11:11
  Speaker 7: had one playoff game he played in before this year.
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean weird, and I really think I mean,
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: I know the turnover issue, and it's we're not done
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: with it. I mean, we've got two weeks of preparation
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: for the super Bowl. So you know that this is
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: gonna be a topic that's discussed in every single market
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: about the Super Bowl game that there is, because those
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: are gonna be people that haven't watched Sam Donald play
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: as much football as we have here in Seattle, and
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: so they're just automatically gonna go to Well, I still
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: he's still got to I even heard it this morning
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: on the drive in I'm still not convinced he's got
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: one more game to win, Like if he plays a
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: bad game in the Super Bowl that see, Yeah, the
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: familiar keeping that in their back pocket just in case
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: he throws one interception in the Super Bowl and they
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: lose by a point, then we can blame it on
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: Sam Darnold for that. But I think one of I mean,
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: it's very obvious that.
• 12:06
  Speaker 4: He did commit turnovers this year, more.
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: So than anybody else in the National Football League at
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: his position. But I think the reason that he did
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: is because of that confidence that he plays with. And
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: maybe he shouldn't have had that confidence, you know, considering
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: the failures that he's had during his young NFL career.
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: I mean, I saw a guy that just went out there,
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: he'd make a mistake and then the very next time
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: he was asked to throw.
• 12:32
  Speaker 4: It would just rip it.
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, And to me, that's probably what gets him in trouble.
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: That's probably why he does commit a few more turnovers.
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: You know, I'm going to try to fit it in there.
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: Brett Farve used to do the same thing with the
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: Green Bay Packers, But it was that confidence that he exudes,
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: even if it does bel his statistical history, that confidence
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: that he exudes and has ever since he put a
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: Seahawk uniform on. That's how you show up in an
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: NFC Conference championship game against the league's MVP, who also
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: played a great game last night, and you outplay him
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: throw for throw during the contest. If he doesn't have
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: that confidence that, if hadn't carried the day for him
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: all season long, he can't play that well and that
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: on that stage in that big of a game last night.
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: So thank god Sam Donold thinks and approaches the game
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: the way that he does. We're going to the super
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: Bowl because of it.
• 13:30
  Speaker 6: Well, thank god I do the show with you two,
• 13:32
  Speaker 6: because there's there's some people that if I did the
• 13:35
  Speaker 6: show with I would I would want to fight, or
• 13:38
  Speaker 6: I would want to quit or strangle myself, possibly because
• 13:42
  Speaker 6: you guys actually get the idea of no one's perfect,
• 13:46
  Speaker 6: and yet the idea of the mentality you have to
• 13:48
  Speaker 6: have as a professional athlete. You're out there in the
• 13:50
  Speaker 6: arena with all the lights on you, and you are
• 13:53
  Speaker 6: putting yourself or you're well, you're putting your body at risk,
• 13:57
  Speaker 6: but more so just the idea of you could fail
• 14:00
  Speaker 6: in front of everyone and be the goat. Everybody could
• 14:02
  Speaker 6: be looking at you like boo, you just ruined all
• 14:05
  Speaker 6: my rooting interests. And Sam Donald doesn't he It's not
• 14:10
  Speaker 6: like he's not aware of it. Every pro athlete is
• 14:12
  Speaker 6: aware of Boy, if I screw up, I'm gonna hear
• 14:14
  Speaker 6: about it. I'm gonna feel it. I'm gonna know that
• 14:16
  Speaker 6: I let down a region of the country. And yet,
• 14:20
  Speaker 6: as a quarterback with all the pressure, right, I mean,
• 14:22
  Speaker 6: you're gonna throw the ball whatever five hundred times, You're
• 14:25
  Speaker 6: gonna throw some to the other team. You're gonna throw
• 14:27
  Speaker 6: some to your team that go off their hands and
• 14:29
  Speaker 6: the other team catches it. You're gonna get hit and fumble.
• 14:33
  Speaker 6: And yet if you think about what has happened, then
• 14:35
  Speaker 6: negative has happened. It will most certainly be counterproductive towards
• 14:39
  Speaker 6: you moving towards where you want to go. And yeah,
• 14:42
  Speaker 6: you're right. I think Sam Donald has learned from all
• 14:46
  Speaker 6: of his years of playing. But he got a giant
• 14:48
  Speaker 6: spoonful of this when he burst on the scene at
• 14:51
  Speaker 6: twenty years old with the New York Jets of this
• 14:54
  Speaker 6: game's not real easy and everything you've done up to
• 14:56
  Speaker 6: this point means nothing. When you get to the NFL
• 14:59
  Speaker 6: if you don't perform here, and he didn't perform to
• 15:02
  Speaker 6: the point where he got to keep a job, but
• 15:05
  Speaker 6: not a starting job, and then worked his ass off
• 15:08
  Speaker 6: to get back to where somebody believed he would have. Hey,
• 15:11
  Speaker 6: we want to bring you in just in case of
• 15:13
  Speaker 6: an injury. Boom, all of a sudden, the injury happens
• 15:15
  Speaker 6: to starting quarterback in Minnesota. He gets the opportunity, leads
• 15:18
  Speaker 6: that team to the playoffs, and then has a rough
• 15:21
  Speaker 6: outing against this Rams team, and he was pressured, and
• 15:25
  Speaker 6: Hugh Millen said, I would be hard pressed to think
• 15:27
  Speaker 6: any quarterback wouldn't go out there and flounder and fail
• 15:29
  Speaker 6: in that situation. He rebounds from that in getting a
• 15:33
  Speaker 6: contract to come here and does nothing but have a
• 15:36
  Speaker 6: couple bad games or one real bad game, have some
• 15:39
  Speaker 6: other games where you have some turnovers, and yet still
• 15:41
  Speaker 6: leads a team to the number one seed, and then
• 15:43
  Speaker 6: goes bang bang and plays near perfect yesterday against the MVP,
• 15:48
  Speaker 6: against a team that was doing some really good things
• 15:51
  Speaker 6: against a really good defense, and he says, that's fine,
• 15:54
  Speaker 6: I will match it. That little spurt when they went touchdown, touchdown, touchdown, touchdown,
• 15:58
  Speaker 6: when he just kept answering the fact that Matt Stafford
• 16:01
  Speaker 6: and Sean McVay were not going to be denied. They
• 16:03
  Speaker 6: were gonna go down to score, and he's like, all right,
• 16:05
  Speaker 6: I can keep pace with this. He did that. I mean,
• 16:07
  Speaker 6: it's he is to some degree. You were talking about
• 16:10
  Speaker 6: the chip on the shoulder if he has one. He
• 16:12
  Speaker 6: doesn't act like he has one. And yet he plays
• 16:15
  Speaker 6: like I'm gonna go show everybody what I am actually
• 16:17
  Speaker 6: capable of.
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: Very impressed.
• 16:18
  Speaker 7: I think that's a good way to put it, because yeah,
• 16:19
  Speaker 7: he does play like he has one, but does he
• 16:21
  Speaker 7: just I mean, even at the end they of the game,
• 16:24
  Speaker 7: they asked him something about, you know, all the people
• 16:27
  Speaker 7: that haven't believed in him or whatever. He's like, I
• 16:29
  Speaker 7: don't care about that. I'm I just come to work
• 16:31
  Speaker 7: every day. This is my team. We've been working hard
• 16:33
  Speaker 7: since April. Like he just shoves it aside. Yeah that's awesome.
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well it is Monday morning, quarterbacks, so our I mean,
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: we we'll discuss of certainly the quarterbacks with our quarterbacks
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: during the course of the show today. Both Darnold and Stafford,
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: who were very impressive on the flip side of it,
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: Rake Woland breathing a sigh of relief. And yet Xavier
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: Smith on the Rams side not so much today. But
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: I kind of feel like that cancels each other out.
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: Xavier Smith's bonhetted play of not you know, fielding the
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: punt which set the Seahawks up for a score. But
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: then Rieke Woland I thought the game was over, and
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: Riek Woland just decided, na, Na, that's not interesting enough.
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: Let's just open the door up for the Rams to
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: come back.
• 17:24
  Speaker 4: That's how awful that.
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: Decision was for him to go taunt the other sideline.
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: I mean, if you stand up after a play like
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: that and in the immediate reaction, maybe you stand over
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: someone or you get too emotional, maybe I can understand that.
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: But he had time to talk himself out of going
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: over to the sideline. And there are some people saying
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: they shouldn't have thrown the flag in that situation. Man,
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: he didn't make it easy for the officials either. He
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: just like kind of went down the entire row like
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna keep doing this until somethingy throws a flag.
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: That's how it felt. I know that's not what he
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: was thinking.
• 18:03
  Speaker 7: Well, they said somebody had said that they had told
• 18:05
  Speaker 7: him enough and he just kept going and that's when
• 18:08
  Speaker 7: he got the penalty.
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: I mean, and we've dealt with it all season long,
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: and so I love that emon Wore got in his ass,
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: and I understand that Ernest Jones was like, hey man,
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: he knows, he knows that you could read his lips.
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: And Ernest Jones a great leader and he and I
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: love that there were guys to calm it down.
• 18:25
  Speaker 4: But somebody should have.
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: Gotten in that ass during the course of the season,
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: all the numerous times we talked about it on Monday,
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: his silliness, selfishness, and everything else that he plays with.
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: I mean, you didn't even make the interception. If you
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: would have made the interception, go taunt, because it would
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: have been worth the fifteen yards at that stage, but
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: you gave them the first down. The game was pretty
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: much over, and Riek Wollen decided to open it up.
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: And since that time he's admitted it and confessed it
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: and everything else, and all of his teammates and coaches
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: have had his back and what you know, what have you?
• 19:03
  Speaker 4: But my goodness, that could have.
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: Been a historically horrible situation for equal He would have
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: never been forgiven here in Seattle.
• 19:12
  Speaker 4: No, and it felt like that.
• 19:14
  Speaker 6: I mean it was I think it was Fain sent
• 19:16
  Speaker 6: a text out of the that was the opposite of
• 19:19
  Speaker 6: the feeling in the stadium as to when Rashid Shaheed
• 19:23
  Speaker 6: returned the punt back or the kickoff back last week.
• 19:28
  Speaker 6: It's the opposite of what you did to the fans,
• 19:30
  Speaker 6: like the feel of the game, like what you just
• 19:34
  Speaker 6: gave them life again, it was You're right, it felt
• 19:36
  Speaker 6: like that was the biggest play up to that point,
• 19:39
  Speaker 6: was the stop there, and you're like, oh my god,
• 19:41
  Speaker 6: we got the lead. They're gonna have to punish the
• 19:43
  Speaker 6: ball though, Oh my god, and then all of a
• 19:45
  Speaker 6: sudden you decide that you just can't do. The main
• 19:49
  Speaker 6: thing that I think Mike McDonald does. He talks about,
• 19:52
  Speaker 6: you know who you're gonna get when you play against
• 19:54
  Speaker 6: the Seahawks. You're gonna get eleven that plays one, and
• 19:57
  Speaker 6: then some requel in attitude on top of it. It's like, dude,
• 20:00
  Speaker 6: as far as I'm concerned, it's it's selfish. Yes, it's
• 20:05
  Speaker 6: uh lack of awareness maybe, but it's there's stupidity involved.
• 20:11
  Speaker 6: You can't say, well, it's an NFC Championship game. I
• 20:14
  Speaker 6: thought they would let me get away with it. You
• 20:16
  Speaker 6: just walk down the entire side, and it was when
• 20:18
  Speaker 6: you started going. If you would have kept jabbing or
• 20:22
  Speaker 6: jacking your jaws as you're walking away, they do tend
• 20:26
  Speaker 6: to let that go a little more. You will start
• 20:28
  Speaker 6: walking towards them, towards Matt Stafford, towards the coach. You're
• 20:32
  Speaker 6: gonna get the penalty. It's not your first time, you
• 20:35
  Speaker 6: know what I mean. It's like, oh wow, if I
• 20:36
  Speaker 6: got my first speeding ticket for going seven over the
• 20:38
  Speaker 6: speed line.
• 20:39
  Speaker 4: No, this is your eighteenth time. You know what the
• 20:42
  Speaker 4: rules are.
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: A breathalyzer in the car, Yeah, you have a blowing
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: go out loud yeah.
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 20:48
  Speaker 6: He needs a mouthpiece that just covers his whole face
• 20:52
  Speaker 6: like everything, you know, like a mask, like a seapap
• 20:55
  Speaker 6: mask where he can't talk through it, like a mask.
• 20:59
  Speaker 6: Yeah yeah, just no sound can come out of it to.
• 21:04
  Speaker 3: Scoop.
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, something like that. There's a couple of other things.
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: I mean, we'll get to, of course with our experts,
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: but I just got to point out in the first segment,
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: this is our one chance to analyze. I mean, the
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: back to back pass breakups by Devin Witherspoon will live
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: forever in Seahawk's history. Just phenomenal that stand and him,
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: He's just a ferocious competitor. And then the Cooper Cup
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: first down. I mean the fact, I mean, everybody talks
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: about how smart he is, the fact that he held
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: that ball over his head, because what would you do.
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: You would tuck it to make sure you don't fumble
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: Cooper Cups, like the first downs so important. I am
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: going to vice script this thing. I am going to
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: get the ball over my head and it might not
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: have been a first down, but there was no chance
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: if he tucks it in under his arm that it's
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: a first down. To realize that this is going to
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: be close, I have to get the ball above my
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: head as high as I can go if I'm going
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: to move these chains right now.
• 22:06
  Speaker 3: That was.
• 22:09
  Speaker 4: Remarkable. Yeah, what he.
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: Did in that moment, and he did hit the ground
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: and the ball spilled loose. He knew he was going
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: to sacrifice some grip on that ball, but he had
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: just enough that he got the first down. Move the chains.
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: Maybe you don't win if he doesn't make that play.
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: Let's find out what's on tap.
• 22:27
  Speaker 3: On chucking bu.
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: What's on tap, what's on tepright, you know how we're

• 24:32
  Speaker 2: we gotta go vacation in Seattle.
• 24:34

• 24:35

• 25:31
  Speaker 2: out there to talk. I want to hear what you
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: have to say about the game last night. So we're
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: going to open up the phone lines here this morning,
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: which is something we don't do a lot here on
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: Chuck and Buck in the mornings, but it just seems
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: like we've got to listen to the twelves here today
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: since you guys made national headlines with how amazing that
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: you were in that game last night.
• 25:52
  Speaker 4: So a lot to do, no doubt here today.
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: But let's begin this hour on a frost brewed Corse
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: light choose Chew Monday by giving you your frost brewed
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: corps like choose Chill headlines. Of course, we start with
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: Seahawks thirty one twenty seven over the Los Angeles Rams,
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: Sam Donald three touchdown passes, three d and forty six
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: passing yards leading the Seahawks to the victory. But all
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: sorts of stars all over the place. JSN was just
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: absolutely phenomenal last night. Devin Witherspoon with the two pass
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: breakups on that key situation where the Rams went for
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: it obviously on third and goal from the four, but
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: then fourth and goal from the four. Nick Eman Worri
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: authored a couple of I'm just gonna take this game
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: over possessions during the course of the game. Also, you
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: had the Cooper Cups stretching it out, getting that first down,
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: that key first down that kept the drive alive and
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: allowed Sam Donald and the Seahawks to melt some time
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: off the clock, only leaving Matt Stafford just a few
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: precious seconds to go the length of the field at the.
• 27:03
  Speaker 4: End of the game.
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: And how about something we haven't discussed, Clint Kubiak and
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: Mike McDonald just saying, hey, I know, this is usually
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: the time where you're just supposed to run the ball
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: and melt clock. Sam's on such a roll right now,
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: He's playing with such confidence. We're going to throw the ball.
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: I mean they got two first downs, throwing the damn
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: football on that drive to crush more of the clock.
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: I mean even that, I mean that's a huge feather
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: in Sam's cap last night, not just the statistics, but
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: for his offensive coordinator to say, our faith is in.
• 27:35
  Speaker 6: You fourteen, Well, you need to go do that. I mean,
• 27:38
  Speaker 6: that's the you want to win a Super Bowl. You
• 27:41
  Speaker 6: cannot sit back and say let's just run at a
• 27:43
  Speaker 6: few times and try to take you a minute fifteen
• 27:45
  Speaker 6: off the clock and then hand it over to Matt Stafford.
• 27:49
  Speaker 6: You need to win, and if you're going to give
• 27:52
  Speaker 6: him the ball, it better be in less than a minute,
• 27:54
  Speaker 6: and preferably less than thirty seconds. That's your only chance
• 27:57
  Speaker 6: because if they had a minute, not twenty second when
• 28:00
  Speaker 6: they had that ball, there's a better chance to get
• 28:03
  Speaker 6: down there.
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure they will take on the Seahawks the
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: New England Patriots in the Super Bowl.
• 28:11
  Speaker 4: That sounds familiar.
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: New England won literally in a blizzard like not even
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: exaggerating there. Blizzard hit in the second half of the
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: AFC Championship game and the Patriots did just enough to
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: defeat the Denver Broncos ten to seven. The final score
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: so super Bowl sixty, which will be played Sunday, February eighth,
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: will be between the Seattle Seahawks and the New England Patriots.
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: Just a couple of other quick stories. You dub won
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: a big game seventy two fifty seven over Oregon yesterday
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: on the College Basketball Hardwood U Double. Next face Illinois
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: on Thursday, who's playing as well as anyone in the country.
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: Dub's got four games between now and Super Bowl Sunday,
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: so nice opportunity to get a little bit of attention here.
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: The next couple of weeks and the crack have now
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: won two out of three. They defeated the Devils four
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: to two. New Jersey is the Devils four to two,
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: the final score cracking over New Jersey, and so winners
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: of two of their last three games. In between there,
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: Lane Lambert said they played their worst game of the
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: year and a loss against the Anaheim Ducks, so this
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: team really can't figure out who they are. They'll next
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: face the Washington Capitals tomorrow night at Climate Pledge Arena.
• 29:26
  Speaker 4: All right, let's talk to Greg with the Bell tolls.

  Speaker 3: It really did help. The environment was off the hook,
• 30:14
  Speaker 3: and the players, the coaches and everybody talked about that
• 30:18
  Speaker 3: on top of everything else. Yeah, yeah, it was a
• 30:21
  Speaker 3: big deal.
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: And the players rewarded the energy in the atmosphere with
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: one of the better games you'll ever see. I mean,
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: that was some fantastic stuff from beginning to end.
• 30:32
  Speaker 3: Greg, it was and Sam Donald was brilliant. The biggest
• 30:39
  Speaker 3: game of his life and he played the best game
• 30:41
  Speaker 3: of his life at three and forty six yards, three touchdowns.
• 30:45
  Speaker 3: You mentioned no turnovers. How long I've been saying is
• 30:51
  Speaker 3: he doesn't turn the ball over. They're going to go
• 30:52
  Speaker 3: to the super Bowl. They're gonna win the Super Bowl.
• 30:54
  Speaker 3: They're going to the super Bowl because of him, not
• 30:57
  Speaker 3: just because he didn't turn it over, but he won
• 31:00
  Speaker 3: the game. And his touchdown passes with guys in his face,
• 31:05
  Speaker 3: in his legs hitting him. It was the three touchdown
• 31:12
  Speaker 3: throws were incredible plays. Just standing in the face injured,
• 31:18
  Speaker 3: knowing every hit he took is hurting him, whether it
• 31:21
  Speaker 3: was to the ground or not. He was gonna get hurt,
• 31:24
  Speaker 3: not hit, but hurt every time he got hit, and
• 31:28
  Speaker 3: he stood in it. The one to Bobo I he
• 31:31
  Speaker 3: was getting cocked from the decide that he was hurt
• 31:35
  Speaker 3: on his left obleaque. The one to Smith's and Jigba
• 31:39
  Speaker 3: the same way. He had to stand in there to
• 31:42
  Speaker 3: wait for Smith and Jigba. Clint Kubiak did a brilliant
• 31:46
  Speaker 3: job on that play. In particular, he sent the first
• 31:50
  Speaker 3: touchdown to Smith and Jigbeb. They were in too deep
• 31:54
  Speaker 3: coverage and he sent Rashishahid to blow out the back
• 31:59
  Speaker 3: of that topped the two deep safety coverage to that
• 32:03
  Speaker 3: side of the end zone with his speed, and then
• 32:06
  Speaker 3: he had Cooper Cup into the left flot running at
• 32:08
  Speaker 3: the corner and what that created was Jackson. Jackson sent
• 32:12
  Speaker 3: to jig with the NFL's best receiver against the linebacker,
• 32:15
  Speaker 3: and that was Kyle Kubiak Clint Kulbach doing that. But
• 32:19
  Speaker 3: all of that only worked because Sam Donald stood in
• 32:23
  Speaker 3: and let Kobe Turner get right into his face mask
• 32:26
  Speaker 3: before he threw the ball. Sam Donald was incredible last night.
• 32:32
  Speaker 3: And Witherspoon, Devin Withersfon told me at his locker, and
• 32:36
  Speaker 3: probably very apt, he said, all those people doubt and
• 32:40
  Speaker 3: y'all need to look yourselves in the mirror, bro, because
• 32:45
  Speaker 3: there's no reason to doubt Sam Donald. The biggest stage,
• 32:48
  Speaker 3: he was the best.
• 32:49
  Speaker 4: He obviously, yeah, stepped up to the occasion.
• 32:51
  Speaker 6: And I agree for all those that wanted to just
• 32:54
  Speaker 6: hate on how he came into the league or the
• 32:56
  Speaker 6: fact that he had a bad game against the Rams
• 32:58
  Speaker 6: earlier this season, I think it's time for them to
• 33:00
  Speaker 6: kind of just sit down and watch. But I mean,
• 33:04
  Speaker 6: how much of the game plan was to rely on
• 33:09
  Speaker 6: him or that did they because I don't think that
• 33:11
  Speaker 6: they expected to, you know, give up over a thousand
• 33:15
  Speaker 6: yards to this team the last couple times and go
• 33:18
  Speaker 6: to and oh against them. I don't think that's the
• 33:20
  Speaker 6: way in which they wrote it up, But it did
• 33:22
  Speaker 6: look like as the game was playing out that they
• 33:25
  Speaker 6: did recognize this Rams offense is really good. We're not
• 33:28
  Speaker 6: going to hold them down, and so we're gonna have
• 33:30
  Speaker 6: to kind of go punch for punch with them. As
• 33:33
  Speaker 6: far as Donald answering back every time Stafford went out
• 33:36
  Speaker 6: there and put up points, Yeah.
• 33:38
  Speaker 3: I think Kubiak and McDonald saw the Rams defense and
• 33:42
  Speaker 3: thought we can beat these guys. Did they play? And
• 33:45
  Speaker 3: I mentioned last week, I thought they were going to
• 33:47
  Speaker 3: open it up, and I thought that there were plays
• 33:50
  Speaker 3: to be made in the Rams secondary. The problem was
• 33:54
  Speaker 3: the pass protection and it wasn't always their last night either.
• 33:57
  Speaker 3: But in the running game night didn't really take hold.
• 34:01
  Speaker 3: But early in the game it was a factor, and
• 34:03
  Speaker 3: you see the final number seventy five yards rushing. But
• 34:07
  Speaker 3: in the first half, especially in the first quarter, they
• 34:09
  Speaker 3: were running the ball at will and it did slow
• 34:14
  Speaker 3: down their pass rush for about half the game. But yeah,
• 34:19
  Speaker 3: the confidence they've had in Darnold throughout, Yeah, he's twenty
• 34:23
  Speaker 3: turnovers leading the NFL, so well, we're going to keep
• 34:25
  Speaker 3: pushing the ball down. The field showed up again last night.
• 34:28
  Speaker 3: We're going to keep pushing the ball down the field.
• 34:30
  Speaker 3: We're gonna trust our quarterback not to make mistakes, and
• 34:32
  Speaker 3: he did not, And it's just trust. Trust with the teammates,
• 34:36
  Speaker 3: trust with the coaching staff, is play caller, a lot
• 34:40
  Speaker 3: of trust. That is beyond the fact that he's only
• 34:43
  Speaker 3: been here since April. He signed in whatever March, but
• 34:46
  Speaker 3: he didn't get on the field to April. That to
• 34:49
  Speaker 3: me is the most impressive thing. They are trusting him
• 34:52
  Speaker 3: and calling plays for him as if he's been here
• 34:54
  Speaker 3: a decade, and it speaks to how much they have
• 34:57
  Speaker 3: faith in him so quickly. One of the most impressive
• 35:01
  Speaker 3: things about him.
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: Hey, I mean, you bring up a great point in
• 35:03
  Speaker 2: one that we have not yet discussed. I mean, I
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: thought Matt Stafford was sensational last night as well, and
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: statistically they were pretty much on par. But Stafford's protection
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: versus Sam's protection kind of were night and day. I
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: couldn't believe the clean pockets that Matt Stafford was getting
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: throughout the game, especially there in the second half. And man,
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: it looked like they were up against it defensively there
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: toward the end of the game. So Greg talk about
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: the two plays that Devin Witherspoon made against Stafford and
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: the pass game there in the fourth quarter that pretty
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: much saved the game at that point.
• 35:42
  Speaker 3: Well, first, they only blitzed my mic count John Manly,
• 35:46
  Speaker 3: my distribute colleagues sitting next to his tracking it. They
• 35:49
  Speaker 3: only blitzed five times, and three of the five times
• 35:52
  Speaker 3: became big plays by Stafford, which underlined why McDonald wasn't blitzing.
• 35:58
  Speaker 3: So they were only rushing for and five Rams were
• 36:01
  Speaker 3: beating four all night in pass protection, and then the
• 36:06
  Speaker 3: Rams beat seven men covering. That's how good it. Stafford
• 36:11
  Speaker 3: in the coupa in particular, and Devin Adams, a couple
• 36:13
  Speaker 3: of players were, But Witherspoon did not have a good
• 36:17
  Speaker 3: game by his standards. He admitted that after the game.
• 36:20
  Speaker 3: But during the game, I was noting. He missed a
• 36:22
  Speaker 3: couple tackles early, he had passes completed on him, a coupled.
• 36:28
  Speaker 4: In the coupa, tripped a couple of times.
• 36:31
  Speaker 3: He was tripping himself after these plays. He was slamming
• 36:34
  Speaker 3: himself in the helmet and his thigh pads, and he
• 36:38
  Speaker 3: was upset with himself for most of that game, and
• 36:40
  Speaker 3: he talked about in the locker room after with the
• 36:43
  Speaker 3: game of the line no, he broke up the pass
• 36:46
  Speaker 3: to Monthfield on the right side of the end zone.
• 36:49
  Speaker 3: That play had no chance. Once the ball left Stafford's hands,
• 36:53
  Speaker 3: Witherston was all over it. And the fourth down play
• 36:57
  Speaker 3: that was the Rams wanted to go to Kyen Williams
• 37:01
  Speaker 3: out of the left flat, and the Seahawks they dropped
• 37:07
  Speaker 3: eight in the coverage on that play. I don't know
• 37:08
  Speaker 3: if they meant to. I'm gonna ask McDonald after this
• 37:11
  Speaker 3: afternoon about that. They usually don't drop eight. They usually
• 37:15
  Speaker 3: rush at least four, but two of their drop eight
• 37:19
  Speaker 3: dropped onto Kien Williams, and I don't know if that
• 37:23
  Speaker 3: was a mistake either. But the primary receiver on that
• 37:26
  Speaker 3: play got double covered, which the Seahawks rarely do. I
• 37:29
  Speaker 3: mean double covered in man, which the Seahawks rarely do.
• 37:34
  Speaker 3: But then that was still left six against four and
• 37:37
  Speaker 3: in tight spaces. That's a tough deal for the offense,
• 37:41
  Speaker 3: and that's what happened. Stafford wanted to go to his left,
• 37:45
  Speaker 3: had nowhere to go with the ball. By the time
• 37:47
  Speaker 3: he looked back to Ferguson. Terrence Ferguson's tight end running
• 37:50
  Speaker 3: right the left across the back of the end zone.
• 37:52
  Speaker 3: Devin Witherspon was running the route for Ferguson. He broke
• 37:55
  Speaker 3: the en route before Ferguson brooke the in round and
• 37:59
  Speaker 3: was in fact inside id the tight end. When Stafford
• 38:01
  Speaker 3: threw the ball, Stafford looked like he was throwing the
• 38:04
  Speaker 3: Witherspoon he Liwerspoon was so open on the play. I
• 38:09
  Speaker 3: asked him, why did you run that route for him?
• 38:11
  Speaker 3: He said, I knew from earlier in the game, and
• 38:15
  Speaker 3: they ran Ferguson, excuse me, a seven route meaning a
• 38:18
  Speaker 3: flag route outbreaking to the back corner of the end zone,
• 38:23
  Speaker 3: and he said, I covered that one too, so I
• 38:26
  Speaker 3: thought they were going to probably come the opposite way
• 38:27
  Speaker 3: because they saw me so aggressive on the seven cut.
• 38:31
  Speaker 3: He played chess before they even snapped the ball. He
• 38:34
  Speaker 3: knew when he had the inside coverage on the tight end,
• 38:37
  Speaker 3: if the tight end was going to break in the
• 38:38
  Speaker 3: en zone, he's gonna break in instead of out because
• 38:40
  Speaker 3: he had broken out and failed earlier. Witherspoon was right.
• 38:44
  Speaker 3: Makes the two biggest plays and then the four minute
• 38:47
  Speaker 3: drive from heaven. I mean, you mentioned that Kubiak was
• 38:52
  Speaker 3: so aggressive. Do you talk about trust in the quarterback,
• 38:55
  Speaker 3: super Bowl and season on the line. They're running rollout
• 38:58
  Speaker 3: passes with a guy with a bat o blue instead
• 39:01
  Speaker 3: of bleeding clock, and Bucky's exactly right. They did not
• 39:04
  Speaker 3: want to give the ball back to Stafford with any
• 39:06
  Speaker 3: time left on the clock anywhere near midfield. He would
• 39:10
  Speaker 3: have beaten them. And I think they knew that. And
• 39:13
  Speaker 3: that's why McVeigh went four on fourth and four because
• 39:16
  Speaker 3: he was certain they were going to get right back
• 39:19
  Speaker 3: down there pretty soon before the game ended.
• 39:22
  Speaker 6: Well, it's nice when you, as far as an offensive
• 39:25
  Speaker 6: play caller, when you have a guy that was playing
• 39:27
  Speaker 6: as confidently as Sam was yesterday, and he gets to
• 39:30
  Speaker 6: play confidently because he has a guy called Jackson Smith
• 39:33
  Speaker 6: and Jigba who apparently is either going to be left
• 39:37
  Speaker 6: open by the defense or he's impossible to cover. I mean,
• 39:40
  Speaker 6: is Chuck Wright? Should they just say, all right, who
• 39:44
  Speaker 6: makes the most right now as a receiver. Here's a
• 39:46
  Speaker 6: little bit more than that.
• 39:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Well, he's due for a contract next year, next summer,
• 39:53
  Speaker 3: and they just come back to bringstruck up. Amazon and
• 39:57
  Speaker 3: everybody else in town, Microsoft and everybody else tribute to
• 40:00
  Speaker 3: that contract. Look, he has been fantastic with his route running.
• 40:06
  Speaker 3: His body control is keeping defenders on his back, as
• 40:08
  Speaker 3: he did a couple times last night. Not to take
• 40:12
  Speaker 3: any credit away from him, but the guy throwing his
• 40:16
  Speaker 3: passes got him eighteen hundred yards this year. Sam Donald
• 40:19
  Speaker 3: has been so trusting of him, throwing when he's covered,
• 40:23
  Speaker 3: throwing when there's a receiver on his back, lofting it
• 40:26
  Speaker 3: and saying, well, he'll make the adjustment on the ball,
• 40:28
  Speaker 3: He'll slow down and keep the defender on his back
• 40:31
  Speaker 3: and he'll catch this. Donald just again, It's like Donald's
• 40:35
  Speaker 3: been here ten years, playing with Smith and Jiggba. They've
• 40:37
  Speaker 3: been playing together for ten months and there's an uncanny
• 40:42
  Speaker 3: knack they have for trusting each other. His body control
• 40:46
  Speaker 3: is just to lead. I could go on for the
• 40:49
  Speaker 3: rest of time talking about Sam Donald. Yesterday's game that
• 40:53
  Speaker 3: was one of the best quarterback performances in the clutchest moments.
• 40:57
  Speaker 3: That was Tom Brady like he was incredible yesterday.
• 41:01
  Speaker 4: Yeah uh.
• 41:03
  Speaker 2: You know who did not have a great moment was
• 41:05
  Speaker 2: Reek Wolan. And so I thought the game was over
• 41:10
  Speaker 2: and Reek Woolan decided to open the door for the
• 41:12
  Speaker 2: Los Angeles Rams. There was a little altercation. Emon Warri
• 41:16
  Speaker 2: looked like he was wolfing at him over there on
• 41:18
  Speaker 2: the sideline.
• 41:20
  Speaker 3: It sounds looked like he was.
• 41:22
  Speaker 4: He was got in his mug.
• 41:26
  Speaker 3: Two guys, two guys to separate even Warrior, a rookie
• 41:30
  Speaker 3: from a Pro Bowl veteran. It took Iris Jones and
• 41:34
  Speaker 3: Kobe Bryant or just Jones laughed about it after the game,
• 41:38
  Speaker 3: about how he had to play the peacekeeper there, but oh, yeah,
• 41:42
  Speaker 3: I'm sorry to interrupted emon. Warrey absolutely lit him up.
• 41:44
  Speaker 2: Well, yeah, I'm looking for the insight, you know, uh,
• 41:47
  Speaker 2: to what happened in that situation, how guys were reacting
• 41:51
  Speaker 2: to it afterwards, and if everything's okay going forward, because
• 41:54
  Speaker 2: I don't know a lot of Seahawk fans of Trustreek
• 41:56
  Speaker 2: Woolan in the Super Bowl stage right now.
• 42:00
  Speaker 3: Man, he would have been this. He may still be
• 42:03
  Speaker 3: for what he did anyway, but he would have been
• 42:05
  Speaker 3: one of the biggest goats in Seattle sports history had
• 42:08
  Speaker 3: they lost that game. Look, the sidelines official told it.
• 42:13
  Speaker 3: You could see him from the press box. You could
• 42:15
  Speaker 3: see the sideline official going walk away, walk so to speak.
• 42:19
  Speaker 3: I don't know those exact words, walk away, walk away,
• 42:22
  Speaker 3: and Woolen did the exact opposite of that he walked
• 42:25
  Speaker 3: to the Rams sideline, got into the white paint. He
• 42:28
  Speaker 3: was john with him, bobbing his head, just walked back
• 42:32
  Speaker 3: to the huddle. The NFL officials are pretty okay with
• 42:36
  Speaker 3: celebrations after plays as long as you don't direct it
• 42:39
  Speaker 3: toward an opponent. That's the rule, that's the way it's written.
• 42:42
  Speaker 3: So taunting by penalty is when you direct it directly
• 42:46
  Speaker 3: at an opponent, you can do anything you want as
• 42:49
  Speaker 3: long as you're turned away from an opponent and facing
• 42:51
  Speaker 3: someone else or celebrating with your team. All he'd do
• 42:54
  Speaker 3: is do a ninety degree for even a forty five
• 42:56
  Speaker 3: degree shoulder turn. He doesn't get a penalty there. The
• 42:58
  Speaker 3: official doesn't want to call that penalty. But when you
• 43:01
  Speaker 3: tell him over and over again to get back to
• 43:04
  Speaker 3: the huddle and he instead parades down the line like
• 43:07
  Speaker 3: he's passing in review in one of my old military
• 43:09
  Speaker 3: parades in front of the other team's bench, many officials
• 43:15
  Speaker 3: are going to throw that flag. That was an absolutely
• 43:17
  Speaker 3: warranted penalty. That will learned And yeah, that's me before team,
• 43:24
  Speaker 3: which is the exact opposite of the Mike McDonald ethos,
• 43:27
  Speaker 3: And so it's got the opposite away you get to
• 43:29
  Speaker 3: a Super Bowl. To his credit, my buddy John may
• 43:32
  Speaker 3: I was still in the press conferences, but John Manley
• 43:34
  Speaker 3: was in the locker room. Riquel unknown that after the game,
• 43:39
  Speaker 3: and I can't do that selfish play, stood up, talked
• 43:42
  Speaker 3: about it. Give him a lot of credit for that.
• 43:44
  Speaker 3: There are a lot of guys older than he that
• 43:46
  Speaker 3: would not have done that, and his locker publicly owned that.
• 43:50
  Speaker 3: But yeah, even Worry after the game, I talked to him,
• 43:53
  Speaker 3: he said, we're brothers. He's like a big brother to me.
• 43:56
  Speaker 3: We're competitive. That's the way it is, you know how
• 43:59
  Speaker 3: it is a championship game. We're cool now, Well they're
• 44:02
  Speaker 3: cool because they want But it's all good now and
• 44:06
  Speaker 3: we move on. But it showed me a lot about
• 44:11
  Speaker 3: nick Emon Worry in his place already in the best
• 44:14
  Speaker 3: defense in the NFL on a Super Bowl team, to
• 44:16
  Speaker 3: what he went absolutely nuclear on requeling on the sideline.
• 44:21
  Speaker 2: I think he was speaking on behalf of all.
• 44:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah, channeling, channeling anyone who's ever worn green in Portland
• 44:29
  Speaker 3: blue before. I mean, that was just yeah, you're right.
• 44:35
  Speaker 3: I could feel the Yanks from the entire Pacific Northwest. Yeah,
• 44:39
  Speaker 3: coming into that stadium. That would have been rough. If
• 44:43
  Speaker 3: we were talking this morning about a lot that would
• 44:46
  Speaker 3: be rough. It makes you wonder. It makes you wonder
• 44:49
  Speaker 3: what John Schneider and Mike McDonald's think about requeal in
• 44:52
  Speaker 3: his future. He's contract is ending. He's played so well
• 44:56
  Speaker 3: at times this season, breaking himself off of the benching.
• 45:00
  Speaker 3: He still does stuff like that and that almost repeated
• 45:03
  Speaker 3: their season. That's it's a consideration for sure. Guy whose
• 45:08
  Speaker 3: contract is ending, spiking like contracts ending. How would you
• 45:12
  Speaker 3: like to be Kenneth Walker's five day old agent right now?
• 45:15
  Speaker 3: My goodness. In the first it was the Kenneth Walker
• 45:19
  Speaker 3: Show in the first half.
• 45:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no doubt, all right, in our last minute, and man,
• 45:23
  Speaker 2: I wanted to get into cup and all sorts of.
• 45:25
  Speaker 4: Things here, but the cup was brilliant.
• 45:27
  Speaker 3: Yep, yep.
• 45:28
  Speaker 2: I just got thirty seconds, forty five seconds to just
• 45:31
  Speaker 2: your first thoughts on a Patriots the Seahawks super Bowl.
• 45:36
  Speaker 3: This is the first time since two thousand and three
• 45:38
  Speaker 3: that neither team had been in the playoffs the previous
• 45:40
  Speaker 3: year making the Super Bowl. It's only the sixth time
• 45:42
  Speaker 3: and sixty Super Bowls that two teams that didn't make
• 45:45
  Speaker 3: the playoffs the year before making it, guys, this is
• 45:50
  Speaker 3: a little early, a little maybe two over the top.
• 45:53
  Speaker 3: The Seahawks are going to kill him. They might beat him.
• 45:55
  Speaker 3: They might beat him by three touchdowns. I think they
• 45:58
  Speaker 3: have an offense that will be New England defense from
• 46:00
  Speaker 3: what I've watched the Patriots, and I don't see Drake
• 46:04
  Speaker 3: may beating the Seahawks and Mike McDonald's defense with the
• 46:06
  Speaker 3: Super Bowl at stake. The defense, if they're not named
• 46:11
  Speaker 3: Matt Stafford and Sean McVay, they're shutting them down. I

  Speaker 3: I need to say this.
• 49:29
  Speaker 11: Back in October a Seattle fans, we were eight outs
• 49:33
  Speaker 11: away from the World Series. Our hearts were broken. The
• 49:36
  Speaker 11: Seahawks have redeemed that loss with one freaking win, and
• 49:44
  Speaker 11: we're just two weeks away from topping it off with
• 49:47
  Speaker 11: a Super Bowl championship. And I'm gonna say this, last
• 49:51
  Speaker 11: night was the first time in my life that I
• 49:53
  Speaker 11: loved working the night Chip. I worked the ramp at
• 49:56
  Speaker 11: Sea Jack Airport because I got to see those free
• 50:00
  Speaker 11: can lose their rims, get on their earplane and head
• 50:04
  Speaker 11: back to California taking that loss. And I'm gonna channel
• 50:08
  Speaker 11: my entertained softy moller.
• 50:10
  Speaker 4: We're going to the freaking super Ball.
• 50:13
  Speaker 3: Bay may.
• 50:15
  Speaker 4: Love it.
• 50:16
  Speaker 2: Thank you, Mike, appreciate it. Oh that's a perfect call
• 50:19
  Speaker 2: to get us started right there, freaking super Bowl.
• 50:22
  Speaker 6: And yes, not many times are people pumped about working
• 50:25
  Speaker 6: on a Sunday or night shift on a Sunday.
• 50:27
  Speaker 4: But he found the silver lining.
• 50:30
  Speaker 3: You can.
• 50:30
  Speaker 6: I can just picture him down there, knee pads on,
• 50:33
  Speaker 6: just waving the rams hands like I'll put his thumb
• 50:36
  Speaker 6: in the index finger up and is a loser.
• 50:39
  Speaker 2: Come here, I wanna lick your face.
• 50:40
  Speaker 4: I'm gonna taste your tears. Yeah.
• 50:43
  Speaker 2: Let's go to Mill Creek and talk to Cooper.

  Speaker 4: Cooper, Yeah, I talk him Buck.
• 50:51
  Speaker 11: I'm so excited that the Saws on the super Bowl.

• 50:58
  Speaker 3: Right now.
• 50:59
  Speaker 8: I'm the wat the replay and listening to radio because
• 51:02
  Speaker 8: I got a day off of school. Yeah, and I'm

  Speaker 8: just so like how they love the super Bowl?
• 51:10
  Speaker 4: How about that? Man?
• 51:11
  Speaker 2: Can you believe it. I mean, this is how old
• 51:14
  Speaker 2: are you? Ten ten years old?
• 51:17
  Speaker 4: So you don't.
• 51:18
  Speaker 2: Remember the last time they were at the super Bowl?
• 51:21
  Speaker 2: That barely times out. You might not even been born yet.
• 51:25
  Speaker 6: No, no, no, no pain, then no pain.

  Speaker 2: All joy Cooper, enjoy it, man, thanks for calling us.

  Speaker 2: All right, Cooper and mill Creek.
• 51:40
  Speaker 4: Look at that ten years old. Been a long drought
• 51:43
  Speaker 4: for Cooper. Yeah, yeah, his entire life.
• 51:46
  Speaker 6: Yeah, it's been a whole decade of life he's lived.
• 51:49
  Speaker 4: And finally she's got in to the super Bowl.
• 51:52
  Speaker 2: Let's go to Bob and seeattle.
• 51:54
  Speaker 4: Go morning Bob, Hey, good morning, Chucking Buck.
• 51:58
  Speaker 14: Thanks so much. You guys do such a great job
• 51:59
  Speaker 14: at fun. I want to talk briefly about the twelve
• 52:03
  Speaker 14: three things. One our seats, so we've been twenty years
• 52:07
  Speaker 14: season things over where our seats are right next to
• 52:09
  Speaker 14: the visitor tunnel, and there were hardly any Rams Jerseys.
• 52:13
  Speaker 14: There's usually a bunch of visitor Jersey in that area,
• 52:15
  Speaker 14: So awesome for guys not selling their tickets. Number two,
• 52:21
  Speaker 14: the fourth down play in the fourth quarter where we
• 52:24
  Speaker 14: really needed that stop on the Rams. I can tell
• 52:27
  Speaker 14: you it was noisy are our seats are right there?
• 52:32
  Speaker 14: Oh my god, I think I'm deaf this morning.
• 52:35
  Speaker 3: It was amazing.
• 52:36
  Speaker 14: And number three, I really appreciate as a twelve the
• 52:40
  Speaker 14: thanks that were given by virtually everybody of that postgame
• 52:44
  Speaker 14: ceremony and then the interviews afterwards. You can really tell
• 52:48
  Speaker 14: that the Hawks players, coaches, staff really appreciate the twelve two.
• 52:54
  Speaker 2: So go Hawks, all right, Bob, thanks man, great call.
• 52:57
  Speaker 2: Appreciate it. I think that my McDonald continuously is surprised
• 53:02
  Speaker 2: by I mean, he knew the reputation of the twelves,
• 53:06
  Speaker 2: and then he was kind of told embrace the twelves,
• 53:09
  Speaker 2: and then all of a sudden.
• 53:10
  Speaker 4: He experienced the twelves.
• 53:12
  Speaker 2: And last night you can guarantee you that was coming
• 53:17
  Speaker 2: from a real place when he got up on the
• 53:20
  Speaker 2: podium and was pretty much like speechless. I don't even
• 53:23
  Speaker 2: know what to say about this crowd support. It is
• 53:26
  Speaker 2: on flipp and believable was pretty much the words that
• 53:30
  Speaker 2: came out of coach McDonald's mouth on the podium getting
• 53:34
  Speaker 2: ready to accept the trophy.
• 53:36
  Speaker 6: Well, I mean, you know, usually Vegas has It's crazy
• 53:39
  Speaker 6: how close Vegas has the point totals and the spreads right.
• 53:43
  Speaker 6: I mean, it seems like they're pretty durned close to
• 53:46
  Speaker 6: nail and that thing all the time, and they always
• 53:48
  Speaker 6: go three points typically, so the home field is typically
• 53:51
  Speaker 6: around three points.
• 53:52
  Speaker 4: I mean, if you think about.
• 53:53
  Speaker 6: It, there is a direct correlation between them not being
• 53:56
  Speaker 6: able to try to kick a field goal, which is
• 53:58
  Speaker 6: much easier in a noise the environment, then trying to
• 54:01
  Speaker 6: go for it on third and fourth down because you're
• 54:03
  Speaker 6: up by four it. I mean, there's something to it,
• 54:06
  Speaker 6: for sure, and I know that all my friends, being
• 54:09
  Speaker 6: Seahawk fans, they take pride in the fact that there's
• 54:12
  Speaker 6: something too coming to play in their stadium that they're
• 54:15
  Speaker 6: going to try to have as much of an impact
• 54:17
  Speaker 6: as they possibly can, and at times it most certainly
• 54:20
  Speaker 6: plays out that way.
• 54:20
  Speaker 2: They're about three, I think, three fan bases, three stadiums
• 54:23
  Speaker 2: in the National Football League where they can't the broadcasters
• 54:27
  Speaker 2: can't stop talking about it. If they can't stop talking
• 54:30
  Speaker 2: about it, then that's how big of an impact it makes.
• 54:33
  Speaker 2: And I think Seattle is one of those three. So
• 54:36
  Speaker 2: well done, well done yesterday. You certainly played your role twelves.
• 54:40
  Speaker 2: All right, let's go to Maple Valley and talk to
• 54:42
  Speaker 2: Michael Michael, good morning.
• 54:45
  Speaker 8: Good morning. Unbelievable, what a great day, what a great year.
• 54:49
  Speaker 8: I just can't believe. It just feels like compared to
• 54:52
  Speaker 8: other Super Bowls, this came up on us so quick.
• 54:55
  Speaker 8: And how can you not talk about John Snyder, what
• 54:58
  Speaker 8: an unbelievable year and decades he'd had with the Seahawks.
• 55:03
  Speaker 8: First GM to take two teams to the Super Bowl
• 55:05
  Speaker 8: that don't have the same players left on it, not
• 55:08
  Speaker 8: a single player left from the other super Bowl team.
• 55:11
  Speaker 8: And thank you Minesota Vikings for giving up on Sam Darnold.
• 55:15
  Speaker 8: I mean, how could that gem have fallen to us.
• 55:18
  Speaker 8: One of the things too, that I was going to
• 55:20
  Speaker 8: point out you guys talked about it earlier was the
• 55:22
  Speaker 8: end of the game with Cooper Cup reaching over to
• 55:24
  Speaker 8: get the first down Sean McVeigh. They actually had two
• 55:28
  Speaker 8: timeouts left and McVeigh called a time out. Yeah, wasted
• 55:31
  Speaker 8: a timeout, waited to see if he wanted to take
• 55:34
  Speaker 8: the challenge it. I don't know why he didn't just
• 55:36
  Speaker 8: challenge it, but I am grateful that he didn't just
• 55:39
  Speaker 8: decide to challenge it.
• 55:39
  Speaker 14: Start.
• 55:40
  Speaker 8: He wasted both timeouts or one timeout and only had
• 55:42
  Speaker 8: one left. Go Hawks, Go, super Bowl. Unbelievable.
• 55:46
  Speaker 2: All right, congratulations Michael, happy for you. Man, yep, going
• 55:50
  Speaker 2: to the Super Bowl. And man, John Schneider has to
• 55:53
  Speaker 2: be pointed out. I mean, this marriage between Ian Mike
• 55:57
  Speaker 2: McDonald has been just about as seamless as it could be.
• 56:00
  Speaker 2: Maybe a couple of little warts at the beginning, where
• 56:02
  Speaker 2: Mike kind of had to go with him halfway through
• 56:05
  Speaker 2: the season last year and say I don't really like
• 56:08
  Speaker 2: the linebackers. You got me, and they kind of had
• 56:11
  Speaker 2: to work through that. But then when they got on
• 56:14
  Speaker 2: the same page, my goodness. I mean, in just their
• 56:16
  Speaker 2: second year, what head coach and general manager are on
• 56:19
  Speaker 2: a better page than what these two are. I think
• 56:21
  Speaker 2: John Schneider has had two perfect years without easy decisions
• 56:26
  Speaker 2: to make. Those are all really difficult decisions to make,
• 56:29
  Speaker 2: and it's as if he's aced the test back to
• 56:32
  Speaker 2: back years. Unbelievable, what John Schneider has done these last
• 56:35
  Speaker 2: two years.
• 56:36
  Speaker 4: All right, let's go to U Snohomish and Mike.
• 56:38
  Speaker 15: Hey, Mike, Hey, guys, thank you for taking my call
• 56:42
  Speaker 15: letting me speak. Go see, Yeah, so I got two
• 56:48
  Speaker 15: things to say.
• 56:49
  Speaker 3: I'm an older guy.
• 56:50
  Speaker 15: I've been following them while they were founded in seventy four,
• 56:53
  Speaker 15: and I've been following them seventy six. I've seen the
• 56:56
  Speaker 15: AFC Championship where they lost. I've been through the tears,
• 57:01
  Speaker 15: the joys, all that stuff. But number two, we all
• 57:06
  Speaker 15: know a weird stat for you. We know about the
• 57:11
  Speaker 15: popes being elected and Seahawks going to the Super Bowl.
• 57:14
  Speaker 15: How about this? This is a crazy one. Bill Belichick
• 57:18
  Speaker 15: was hired by the Patriots after Pete Carroll was fired.
• 57:22
  Speaker 15: Took him two seasons to go to the Super Bowl,
• 57:25
  Speaker 15: and he won it. What about Mike McDonald After two
• 57:29
  Speaker 15: years Pete mccar Pete Carroll was fired. Mike McDonald's now
• 57:33
  Speaker 15: going to the Super Bowl? Will he win it? I
• 57:36
  Speaker 15: believe he will.
• 57:37
  Speaker 11: Oh.
• 57:37
  Speaker 15: I love this team, Yeah, Seahawks.
• 57:41
  Speaker 4: I love this team too. This is a team to love.
• 57:44
  Speaker 2: And I think what Mike and stahomis just trying to
• 57:47
  Speaker 2: say is that the Seahawks are on the right on
• 57:50
  Speaker 2: the verge of a dynasty. I think that's what he's
• 57:53
  Speaker 2: trying to say. Seven championships, that's what he was hinting at.
• 57:59
  Speaker 2: I think, yeah, I'm sure I Betty would like to
• 58:02
  Speaker 2: go there. I think most people listening would love it
• 58:04
  Speaker 2: if this is just one of many.
• 58:07
  Speaker 4: We got time for one more. Let's go to Bertram
• 58:09
  Speaker 4: and Bonnie Lake.
• 58:10
  Speaker 2: Bertram, our friend, Bertram, How are you man, How are
• 58:12
  Speaker 2: you feeling this morning?
• 58:15
  Speaker 9: I'm feeling fantastic, Chuck Bucky, Hello, Hello, Ashley, fantastic. The
• 58:25
  Speaker 9: thing that's wild was I went to the game last
• 58:27
  Speaker 9: weekend and got to experience, like, you know, just all
• 58:31
  Speaker 9: the fields of a dominating like playoff performance. But after that,
• 58:37
  Speaker 9: I got on a plane to go to Iowa and
• 58:40
  Speaker 9: I'm looking to move there. Anyways, long story short, I
• 58:45
  Speaker 9: had to fly into Denver last night, and so all
• 58:50
  Speaker 9: around the bar where I was trying to watch the
• 58:53
  Speaker 9: second half of the game, we're just dejected Broco fans.
• 58:57
  Speaker 9: And as someone that was you know, like an old
• 59:01
  Speaker 9: AFC West, you know, like and just to sit sit
• 59:05
  Speaker 9: there and sit in it and just see that just
• 59:08
  Speaker 9: from a perspective that wasn't in Seattle, but that was
• 59:12
  Speaker 9: in a bar and Denver and.
• 59:13
  Speaker 3: Just to witness it was. It was fantastic.
• 59:16
  Speaker 9: It was it. It's probably one of the like this year,
• 59:22
  Speaker 9: like especially with the Mariners and now you know with
• 59:24
  Speaker 9: the Seahawks, it's probably been one of the best sports
• 59:27
  Speaker 9: years of all time. So I just wanted to say
• 59:31
  Speaker 9: it was fantastic just to see it from that other,
• 59:33
  Speaker 9: you know, perspective and.
• 59:35
  Speaker 15: Just to sit there Bucky.
• 59:37
  Speaker 2: Sorry, Yeah, did you like did you try to like
• 59:40
  Speaker 2: keep it keep it under wraps or did you just
• 59:43
  Speaker 2: go crazy just to you know, taste their tears as well?
• 59:46
  Speaker 4: What did you do?
• 59:48
  Speaker 9: What I did was the silent like arms uff in
• 59:53
  Speaker 9: the air, like you know what I mean, Like it

  Speaker 2: that the roof got sufficiently raised last night, hard well

• 1:01:41
  Speaker 4: roof got raised. Ashley's roof got raised. You can tell
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 4: by the very white impersonation.
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 7: I did see that. A texture was like, why does
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 7: Ashley have the lowest voice of everybody on the sholdinet?
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah?

• 1:02:03
  Speaker 7: at my ass off at my house.

  Speaker 2: Sometimes forty years of smoking.
• 1:02:07

• 1:02:10
  Speaker 7: get forty years of smoking done in one day.
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 2: Good friggin mornings, everybody out there. It is Monday morning,
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 2: quarterback time here on this We're going to day up
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 2: the Super Bowl edition of Chuck and Buck in the
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 2: Morning Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM, And I
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 2: know you've been waiting all overnight to hear analysis from
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 2: Mark QB one wait no further. Who Milling is with
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 2: us here this morning?
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 4: Who We're going to the Toper Bowl? What a morning?
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 3: What a night.
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 4: I can remember the very first professional playoff game with
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 4: the Sonics and seventy five probably seen, if not all,
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 4: virtually all of every playoff game, and I just think
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 4: it was one of the greatest days in Seattle sports history.
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 4: I think I assume, like many thousands of Seahawk fans
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 4: wasted a lot of time rooting for Carolina to beat
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 4: the Rams in the playoff game, rooting for the Bears
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 4: to beat the Rams in the playoff because you knew
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 4: the Rams were the most formidable. But all the while,
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 4: we knew that if you were gonna make it, if
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 4: you knew you were gonna make it, the sweetest path
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 4: would be to play the Rams. Oh not in the
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 4: thirty degrees in sideways reign that McDonald had talked about.
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 4: But no, a beautiful day for throwing, and you took
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 4: their best shot. You took their best shot. But you
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 4: know what, you line them up and knock them down.
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 4: And I just I can't say enough for the whole enterprise.
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 4: It's a young football team, it's a young quarterback. The
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 4: fans just showed out like we know that they're capable of.
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 4: It was just absolutely spectacular in every way. It couldn't
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 4: be more delighted for the team and all Sea.
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, I think most Seak nation is pretty
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 6: pumped about where you guys are at and where it
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 6: feels like you're heading under the helm of Mike McDonald.
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 6: But I mean, I'll go just start with Sam Donald,
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 6: because there's a room for you, Bucky. Eventually we're gonna
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 6: get you on. I'm good right where I'm at. I'm
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 6: good right where I'm at. I mean, I don't dislike
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 6: the Seahawks. I'm just I can't. I can't change my allegiance.
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 3: I was.
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 4: I was a big Humillon fan. But we're in the NFC.
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 4: You can, you can. I don't have two teams.
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 6: I'm not a guy that has an AFC team and
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 6: an NFC team.
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 4: Can't do it and do it. Okay, you can not
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 4: gonna do that?
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 6: Okay, No, But I mean, Hugh, really, I mean we're
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 6: talking about how you I'm with you. The idea of
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 6: going through the Rams to get to the super Bowl
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 6: is the sweetest way that it could possibly go. And
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 6: yet I don't know for sure if Mike McDonald or
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 6: anybody else would have thought, hey, here's a plan. Let's
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 6: give up one thousand and sixty yards in these two
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 6: games against the Rams, these last two, I'm sure we'll
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 6: go to and Oh if that's the case, But Sam
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 6: Donald and they hear it over there in Rent and
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 6: they hear I mean, just about every person that comes
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 6: to a podium has to end their conversation with something
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 6: about when Sam shut up the haters to some degree.
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 6: So what did Sam Darnald do that was so impressive
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 6: to be able to go blow for blow with Matt Stafford.
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 4: Well, I think I'm not sure if he went blow
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 4: to blow. In some cases you could say, I mean
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 4: Sam Donald had with plays ten or more yards. Donald
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 4: had seventeen, Stafford just thirteen. But plays twenty yards or more.
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 4: Donald had two, Stafford had nine. I mean, I've watched
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 4: the tape extensively this morning. I'm blown away by Matthew Stafford.
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 4: I think it's in the top three performances I've ever
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 4: seen for a quarterback in a loss. Brady in the
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 4: Super Bowl five hundred and five yards and Josh Allen
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 4: in that game against the Chiefs where through three hundred
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 4: and twenty four yards four touchdowns and had sixty eight
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 4: yards rushing with six rushing first downs and clutch plays.
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 4: So Donald just watching his pursuit, you know, his timing,
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 4: his arm is understanding, just stuffing the ball in the
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 4: tight windows. I'm talking about Stafford there, but Donald, I mean,
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 4: with all of the pressure on him, I don't get
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 4: I don't get the and I have my intent is
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 4: up pretty high locally, certainly the national media. The criticism
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 4: that has been levied at Donald, it's like they refuse
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 4: to believe that a guy can improve on in his job.
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 4: I assume radio people can improve. I assume radio producers
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 4: can improve. I assume salesmen and knee surgeons and trial
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 4: attorneys and every other profession can improve. But for some reason,
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 4: we want to take this guy like if he was
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 4: a Johnny Manzel, just a punk, even a Baker Mayfield.
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 4: You know, I can understand why he's kind of brass,
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 4: like you'd be against him or Cam Newton, you know.
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 4: I mean there's some dudes, but like Sam Darnold, Like,
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 4: how has this been directed at him? And in forty
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 4: four games, he's won thirty four, He's thirty four and ten.
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 4: He's got the winning this record since Thanksgiving to twenty
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 4: twenty two, he's got the highest percentage of games with
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 4: a hundred passer rating theymore, which he had again yesterday,
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 4: But to I just realized, you know, throwing front one
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 4: hundred and fifty, one hundred and eighty yards in a
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 4: NFC championship game is not going to do it for
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 4: these people. He had to do what he did last night,
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 4: he had to be stupendous from beginning to end, make
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 4: the plays stand toe to toe in the whether. It's
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 4: a third quarter with two straight touchdowns and four straight
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 4: overall in the fourth quarter, one of the greatest drives
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 4: in see our history. Certainly that didn't score points, it
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 4: ended in a punt, but it was a phenomenal game
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 4: killing drive. Like he he was good from the beginning
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 4: to the end. He only put the ball in jeopardy
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 4: once on a cover two curl route to cup. I thought, whoa,
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 4: that was a little nasty, but he made big plays.
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 4: JSN has a competitive nature to him. He got the
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 4: ball to him, you know, push the ball down the
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 4: field and by the way to I read this did
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 4: a little research on it. First quarterback in the Next
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 4: Gen era to have three touchdown passes under pressure. Well,
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 4: the next Gen era began in twenty sixteen. There's been
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 4: two hundred and forty two playoff games since in the
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 4: Next Gen era. He's the first to do it, and
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 4: so I couldn't be more delighted about a really good
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 4: dude who happens to be a really good quarterback, who's young,
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 4: under contract and he's going to the Super Bowl. I
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 4: couldn't be happier for him and the guy who even
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 4: Mike McDonald went out of character and spiked the football
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 4: in that press conference about Sam Donald. You know who's
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 4: the last guy to spike the football about Sam Donald?
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 4: Sam Donald? How about he just deflected it. You can't
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 4: even get a look of an expression on his face
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 4: of let me dunk on. You look what I just did.
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 4: He's just like deflect to his teammates, moved on. There's
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 4: a poise and a grace about him that is truly admirable,
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 4: that transcends sports. I mean, this guy has got so
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 4: much dignity it's crazy. So yeah, Mike mcdonald'll tell you
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 4: he set him up. We all know he set him up,
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 4: But the manner in which he did it, I just
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 4: I mean, my eyes are getting get sweaty just talking
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 4: about it, because I just I couldn't be more happier
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 4: for that man.
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 2: Here, melanis with us. Monday Morning Quarterback Session underway. We're
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 2: going to the Super Bowl edition of Monday Morning Quarterback
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 2: with our q be one. Obviously a lot more to
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 2: discuss with Sam. Where would you start with your analysis?
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 2: What is the thing that most impressed you, was it
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 2: the way that they had confidence in him on the
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 2: last drive, or one of those touchdowns, or maybe the
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 2: throw over the middle to JSN where he went to
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 2: the deep down the middle of the field. That was
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 2: a huge play in the game. Where does the analysis start?
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 3: Say?
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 4: You know, I wrote them all down, but then I
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 4: had to say, well, radio, we don't have time for this.
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 4: I got a half a dozen start. You know, first
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 4: drive we had talked about, hey, we've got to get
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 4: Rashik Shaheed involved in the long game. That prior to
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 4: the game, ten games for Shaheed going into this his
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 4: longest catch for air yards was twenty one yards. Hell,
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 4: he's number twenty two. He didn't even in ten games,
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 4: he didn't even get to his number. And so on
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 4: the second pass of the game, on a third and five,
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 4: she gets a great release and it was the NFL
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 4: track sit at thirty six are yards, so we got
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 4: over the top of the defense fifty one yards. We
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 4: show his confidence A play later that that little smoke
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 4: route that he threw to JSN. And there's something about JSM.
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 4: He's got the Rose Bowl record and as great as me,
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 4: he's been on tape. I can tell you right now
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 4: that his speed and determination just jumps off the screen.
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 4: That was a different dude. Jaysn like he he like
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 4: he got shut down against the forty nine ers. He
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 4: I'm not in his head, but he's going against Pika
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 4: and Kula. That dude just came like chomping at the
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 4: bit to compete. Jasn beautiful the uh you know there
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 4: was he threw he throws an out route to uh
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 4: to JSN fifty four seconds to go in the second quarter,
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 4: and it's cover three. The corner had outside leverage bike
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 4: like three or four yards. And and if you stop
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 4: right there and you say, wait a minute, Sam Dal,
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 4: don't you remember remember the six interceptions you've thrown against
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 4: the Rams. You know, you'd say, oh, he's gonna turn
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 4: that down because that's that's a corner on way outside
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 4: leverage and that's tight was split by JSN. He's got
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 4: a speed out the corner could drive on it. And
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 4: and Darnold just with pressure in his face, he just
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 4: smokes it out to the sideline, puts it in in
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 4: a mailbox.
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 4: You know, for a nice it's just a non descript
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 4: ten yard game. But there was a high degree of
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 4: risk there. He's not seeing it. He's having none of it.
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 4: The uh, you know, beautiful play calling into the second
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 4: quarter after the the Rams had taken the lead. The
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 4: forty two yard or by the way, that was a
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 4: disguised cover too, where it looks like a single high
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 4: post snap. They go to a split safety and and
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 4: the balls on the right. Hash there's a forty two
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 4: yard right before the half where he now JSN leans
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 4: to the outside like a corner, crosses the safe his face,
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 4: Donald hits him for forty two yards. Jayson takes the
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 4: big hit. That was the same coverage and the same
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 4: disguise that Darnald had in the earlier game against the
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 4: Rams here in Lumen when he threw that slant route
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 4: that got picked off and essentially a pick six. The
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 4: Rams ran it back to the one yard line, the
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 4: exact same coverage, with the exact same disguise. Now a
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 4: month later, he's throwing a forty two yarder down the middle.
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 4: Just beautiful, you know. The touchdown passed at the end
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 4: of the quarter there phenomenal by I mean, there was
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 4: a point there where at the end of the second
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 4: quarter where Clint Kubiak was just on fire. He was
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 4: calling plays that were getting open. Remember that one that
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 4: Jasn that caught in the back of the end zone
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 4: but like five yards past the line. Remember that one
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 4: like like that was wide open a Cover four and
• 1:14:04
  Speaker 4: he was over the top. That was I've got Donald
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 4: for a minus on that one. That was just a
• 1:14:09
  Speaker 4: beautiful play call. He got it open. There was another one,
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 4: the little one that he had to Halani for thirteen yards.
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 4: He had Bobo on a post against a what's called
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 4: the Cover six roll to one side off. I'm not
• 1:14:23
  Speaker 4: gonna get into details, but Kobyak kept dialing up. We've
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 4: talked about red zone. They got to get better. Take
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 4: some shots. Don't just run the ball on first down
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 4: because you're only averaging two point two yards per rush
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 4: on first down. It's like they said, let's make Mike
• 1:14:39
  Speaker 4: Homgrin happy. Let's let like first down, let's let's freaking
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 4: take some shots to the end zone. And Kubiak was
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 4: calling him and they were open it and and and
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 4: so Donald missed a couple. But then they come back
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 4: and they put Jasn in the backfield. Every time they've
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 4: run JSN in the backfield, they run an option route.
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 4: Now one time, I think it was getting the Cardinals.
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 4: They ran a little stutter and and and they ran
• 1:15:03
  Speaker 4: a vertical, but they had not run a corner route
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 4: from from JSN in the backfield. I know they have
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 4: not done that all season. And and it's really a
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 4: cover two beater where you want the corner in the
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 4: flat where and Coop and Cup is in the flat,
• 1:15:17
  Speaker 4: and then and then the Shahid he he would take
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 4: out the corner and then you pocket it in and
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 4: what's called cover two to the side of the safety
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 4: and over the corner. But they played a what's called
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 4: cover FOURD there with two guys off. Well see he
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 4: took them both. And and now, uh you've got jays
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 4: In totally uncovered, totally uncovered Donald with a man in
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 4: his face. And we said those three touchdowns, you know,
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 4: you know where how Sam Donald watched that those three
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 4: touchdown passes, He didn't watch him because all three of
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 4: them he was on his ass and you know, because
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 4: he had it was unpressure. I mean, that's just the
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 4: end of the first half. Uh. I know we should
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 4: talk about the last drive, but I don't know. It
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 4: was just a guy that was seeing the field, was
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 4: willing to play with shatter around him to stuff the
• 1:16:10
  Speaker 4: ball in the tight mailbox. And you know, you can
• 1:16:13
  Speaker 4: count on one hand his decisions where I say, I
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 4: would say you should have thrown to somebody different, you know,
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 4: maybe three or four. That's that's not much. And so
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 4: at any of it, it was it was so fun
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 4: to watch him. Yeah, well it was.
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 6: It was an impressive game all the way around. I mean,
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 6: both sides played well. It was an enjoyable game for
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 6: a couple of teams vying for the Super Bowl. I mean,
• 1:16:34
  Speaker 6: I'm not going to go to the last drive or
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 6: the not the Seahawks last drive, but the second to
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 6: last drive, the long drive that ends up being all
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 6: for not of the Rams. I mean confidence meter. You're
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 6: up by four, that's when it's twenty seven thirty one.
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 6: I think I have to punt there all the way
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 6: down there, like the ten yard line, and yet they
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 6: go on a seven and a half minute drive. I mean,
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 6: how confident were he as they were kind of marching
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 6: down the field.
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 4: That the Rams were Yeah?
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 6: When yeah, when they were marching down the field and
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 6: then they got stopped on third and fourth down down
• 1:17:07
  Speaker 6: at like the four yard line were you how were
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 6: you feeling at that moment?
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 4: Yeah, well they they took it and from their own
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 4: ten I believe, And and yeah, they were just they
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 4: were just marching down and you just felt like, wow,
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 4: this is really gonna get uh, you know, go right
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 4: down to the wire. And of course it did. But
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 4: I think that while while McVeigh wins the matchup against McDonald,
• 1:17:33
  Speaker 4: his offense against McDonald's defense, when when McDonald had to
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 4: make some calls, they they you know, on the third
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 4: down and four and the fourth down and four, they
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 4: gloved up, they dropped off the I mean they they
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 4: uh that that fourth down play, they had six guys up.
• 1:17:53
  Speaker 4: And prior to that, I had been wondering, why don't
• 1:17:56
  Speaker 4: why doesn't seattle, why aren't they Is there more not
• 1:18:00
  Speaker 4: pre snap movement getting guys up with the terms called
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 4: walking up, mugging up linebackers, walking them up, tough in
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 4: the a gap, you know, inducing communication. I I thought
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 4: mmcdonald was a little bit tentative in his calls. And
• 1:18:16
  Speaker 4: so with the game on the line, you know, they
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 4: they were dropping defensive lineman. You had DeMarcus Lawrence drop,
• 1:18:22
  Speaker 4: you had uh, Derek Hall drop and and you had hell,
• 1:18:26
  Speaker 4: he had Leonard Williams drop and so they finally created
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 4: some confusion there. The the fourth down, they had six
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 4: guys up.
• 1:18:34
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 1:18:34
  Speaker 4: The running back was on a five out release where
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 4: he's gonna run a vertical on the weak side. Julian
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 4: Love had has what's called appeel blitz where he had
• 1:18:43
  Speaker 4: to start his blitz and then and then uh no, no, no,
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 4: I got to cover the swing route. But and he
• 1:18:49
  Speaker 4: would have been beat but they were dropping DeMarcus Lawrence
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 4: off in there too into the area like like even
• 1:18:56
  Speaker 4: though McDonald pushed the wrong buttons most of the game,
• 1:18:59
  Speaker 4: or you want to say, Matthew Stafford, is that freaking good,
• 1:19:04
  Speaker 4: like one of them the greatest deal ever seen? You
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 4: could you take your pick. Maybe it's a combination of both.
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 4: But in that moment, uh, he called the right butt
• 1:19:15
  Speaker 4: buttons and and on the third down, Stafford held the
• 1:19:18
  Speaker 4: ball the NFL had at three point nine seconds. The
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 4: average is two point four to two seconds, so they
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 4: had to cover for a long time. Yeah, and and
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 4: Witherspoon ends up making get you know, getting two pass
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 4: breakups right then. So when they had to be good
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 4: and they were only one for eight, and third down conversion.
• 1:19:35
  Speaker 4: So we got to point that out. But but down
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 4: there mid middle of the fourth quarter, guys, those third
• 1:19:42
  Speaker 4: and fourth down plays were just beautiful defensive calls and
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 4: and and uh man, Witherspoon met Witherspoon. I don't want
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 4: to get into it because it's a win. But if
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 4: we were going through the list of of the the
• 1:19:54
  Speaker 4: long plays that Witherspoon was beat, it's it's it's trust me,
• 1:19:59
  Speaker 4: it's lengthy. You know, was you saw it? Well, it's
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 4: even worse when you study the tape. But but let's
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 4: flip that. That's not a knock on on on Witherspoon.
• 1:20:08
  Speaker 4: That's real ball. That's real ball. When when Sam Darnold
• 1:20:12
  Speaker 4: had thrown two interceptions in the last RAM game and
• 1:20:16
  Speaker 4: you're down by sixteen and he had to produce one
• 1:20:18
  Speaker 4: hundred and forty four passer rating from the second interception
• 1:20:22
  Speaker 4: on in the fourth quarter and overtime, that's real ball.
• 1:20:25
  Speaker 4: That's that's like, that's what it takes when you're playing
• 1:20:28
  Speaker 4: the very best. And Witherspoon got his ass lit up.
• 1:20:32
  Speaker 4: But what if he had had not been a burning competitor,
• 1:20:37
  Speaker 4: If he wasn't a burning competitor, he wouldn't be in
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 4: that moment to make that those two plays. And so
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 4: so yeah, look, you say he had a bad game.
• 1:20:47
  Speaker 4: You know what, that that happens, But are you are
• 1:20:49
  Speaker 4: you going to be locked in enough that in the
• 1:20:52
  Speaker 4: you know, with with seven minutes ago, with the Super
• 1:20:54
  Speaker 4: Bowl line, you can make two plays even though you've
• 1:20:57
  Speaker 4: been killed all game. I don't know, That's just I'm
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 4: just really impressed. I love. I love in the Olympics
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 4: when that little gal, that little four foot she's standing
• 1:21:07
  Speaker 4: at the end of the of the floor routine and
• 1:21:11
  Speaker 4: she knows it's the last thing she's got. All of
• 1:21:14
  Speaker 4: her teammates are watching. She's gotta sprint down that thing,
• 1:21:17
  Speaker 4: you know, launch yourself up in the room to nine
• 1:21:19
  Speaker 4: twists and fourteen tumbles, and she got to stick it
• 1:21:23
  Speaker 4: because all of her teammates are depending on her like
• 1:21:26
  Speaker 4: the when. That's the great thing about sport is is
• 1:21:29
  Speaker 4: you sometimes all of your life's training comes down to
• 1:21:33
  Speaker 4: a moment. And Witherspoon just didn't will even though the
• 1:21:39
  Speaker 4: best quarterback on the planet was killing him for three
• 1:21:42
  Speaker 4: and a half quarters, made the damn place unbelievable.
• 1:21:45
  Speaker 2: Here Melan is with us Monday morning, Quarterback. Brought to
• 1:21:48
  Speaker 2: you by Michael Shute being go North Creek Roofing, Washington
• 1:21:51
  Speaker 2: Center for Sleep and Core Contractors. We got a lot
• 1:21:54
  Speaker 2: more to discuss. We'll talk about that last drive. We'll
• 1:21:57
  Speaker 2: talk about Rik Wallam before it's up. We'll talk about
• 1:21:59
  Speaker 2: Cooper up before it's up. So Hugh Millen is here
• 1:22:02
  Speaker 2: to break it all down for us right here on
• 1:22:04
  Speaker 2: this We're going to the Super Bowl edition of Chucking
• 1:22:07
  Speaker 2: Buck in the Morning. Sports Radio ninety three point three
• 1:22:10
  Speaker 2: kJ R F M Jackson Smith and Jamy mcconneth thought
• 1:22:13
  Speaker 2: he was seven yards out of the end zone.
• 1:22:15
  Speaker 4: Of course, his shoulder plane never dips.
• 1:22:18
  Speaker 2: It's always the same height.
• 1:22:19
  Speaker 12: A lot of receivers when they run, if they're speeding
• 1:22:23
  Speaker 12: up or stopping, their shoulder planes will rise or fall.
• 1:22:26
  Speaker 4: He maintains the same shoulder.
• 1:22:28
  Speaker 2: Plane when he runs his route.
• 1:22:29
  Speaker 12: It's really hard for any defensive back to get a
• 1:22:31
  Speaker 12: beat on what he's doing.
• 1:22:33
  Speaker 4: I'll looking at him again. Some quessures hit as he
• 1:22:36
  Speaker 4: flows back. Smith didn't check to tout down. Wrap it up, Brady,
• 1:22:46
  Speaker 4: We're going to the Super Bowl. What have you ever
• 1:22:48
  Speaker 4: done with your life? Have you ever been Yeah?
• 1:22:51
  Speaker 2: Exactly, Yeah, strag going to the super Bowl for once.
• 1:22:55
  Speaker 2: If you think you're so cool, it's Chuck Buck and
• 1:22:58
  Speaker 2: Ashley with you. We are Monday morning quarterbacking. We're heading
• 1:23:01
  Speaker 2: to the super Bowl, super Bowl sixty. It'll be thirteen
• 1:23:04
  Speaker 2: days from now, so plenty of time to hype up
• 1:23:07
  Speaker 2: the Seahawks Patriots. But there's so much more to discuss
• 1:23:11
  Speaker 2: from last night's game. Coach Holmer will join us at
• 1:23:14
  Speaker 2: nine o'clock. Hugh Millan is with us right now. Yeah,
• 1:23:17
  Speaker 2: I mean so much to be positive about, but certainly
• 1:23:21
  Speaker 2: one of the big storylines last night, Hugh was Reek
• 1:23:25
  Speaker 2: Woolen and his meltdown, his selfish avalanche that he caused
• 1:23:31
  Speaker 2: last night. He's lucky the Seahawks game back in one.
• 1:23:34
  Speaker 2: Otherwise his name would have been mudding this down for
• 1:23:36
  Speaker 2: many years to come.
• 1:23:38
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm not sure if he could have brought him
• 1:23:40
  Speaker 4: back had that happen. But I feel pretty strongly on
• 1:23:44
  Speaker 4: two counts. There can be two truths, I think, and
• 1:23:49
  Speaker 4: I can't say it more emphatically. Reek Wolan was an
• 1:23:52
  Speaker 4: idiot in that moment, completely selfish. Whatever you say to
• 1:23:57
  Speaker 4: criticize him, I agree with. I'm not absolving him whatsoever. However,
• 1:24:05
  Speaker 4: you can also say, all right, assess the official, and
• 1:24:10
  Speaker 4: I've sent you guys videos. My interpretation of the official
• 1:24:15
  Speaker 4: is that he saw this is a minute to go
• 1:24:18
  Speaker 4: in the third quarter, a couple of minutes ago in
• 1:24:20
  Speaker 4: the third quarter, uh, with the Super Bowl on the line.
• 1:24:25
  Speaker 4: And how many times have you seen officiles physically get
• 1:24:30
  Speaker 4: in between two guys jaw jacking or just you know
• 1:24:34
  Speaker 4: you you you put physically, as official, put yourself in
• 1:24:37
  Speaker 4: between the guy and say you put your hands on it.
• 1:24:41
  Speaker 4: They put their hands on you and they say you
• 1:24:44
  Speaker 4: say listen, you get walk away, walk away, walk away,
• 1:24:48
  Speaker 4: or I'm gonna throw a flag for you. That official
• 1:24:50
  Speaker 4: did none of that. He just he just kind of
• 1:24:54
  Speaker 4: he said something to him and you see this little light,
• 1:24:56
  Speaker 4: little pat on the back. Let So I'm I'm not
• 1:25:00
  Speaker 4: saying the official didn't have dialogue with Greek Wollan, but
• 1:25:03
  Speaker 4: it wasn't enough. He should have physically got in there
• 1:25:07
  Speaker 4: and walked Reek Wollen away. And then when you actually
• 1:25:11
  Speaker 4: see the timing of when the official through the flag,
• 1:25:14
  Speaker 4: Wolan had already turned and gone back to Seaawk saw
• 1:25:17
  Speaker 4: that he was three or four yards removed with his
• 1:25:21
  Speaker 4: back turn. Everything was done but the official was being
• 1:25:25
  Speaker 4: berated by the RAM coaches, and the official threw the
• 1:25:28
  Speaker 4: flag well after the fact. He didn't throw the flag
• 1:25:32
  Speaker 4: while Greek Wollen was still having a contending and tawning.
• 1:25:38
  Speaker 4: So I would say this, had Woolan thrown a punch,
• 1:25:42
  Speaker 4: then doesn't matter if the Super Bowl is on the line.
• 1:25:44
  Speaker 4: Can't throw a punch. But really, are we at that
• 1:25:47
  Speaker 4: stage of jaw jacking. A good official would have have
• 1:25:52
  Speaker 4: come up to a Greek Wollan, got right in his face,
• 1:25:55
  Speaker 4: in his chest and physically pushed him back to the sideline,
• 1:25:58
  Speaker 4: and if Wolan have responded to that, then throw the flag.
• 1:26:03
  Speaker 4: So I thought that was poor officiating. And I'm throwing the.
• 1:26:07
  Speaker 2: I'm throwing the flag there, I'm throwing the I'm throwing
• 1:26:09
  Speaker 2: the flight.
• 1:26:10
  Speaker 4: And here's why.
• 1:26:10
  Speaker 2: It's the late third quarter and he was given a
• 1:26:13
  Speaker 2: warning to walk away, maybe not aggressively enough to everyone's taste,
• 1:26:18
  Speaker 2: but he had plenty of opportunities to walk away. I mean,
• 1:26:22
  Speaker 2: Bucky asked me off the air, would you have would
• 1:26:25
  Speaker 2: you have ignored that? Because he knows I'm one of
• 1:26:27
  Speaker 2: the whistle swallowingest sports fans ever. But that's when the
• 1:26:31
  Speaker 2: game is really on the line, fourth quarter, no time
• 1:26:33
  Speaker 2: to come back from that. No, I don't throw it there,
• 1:26:36
  Speaker 2: but with a full quarter to go. Uh, he acted like.
• 1:26:39
  Speaker 4: An ass and he got what he deserved. That's and
• 1:26:42
  Speaker 4: that's what I tried to stress. Yeah, I just I think,
• 1:26:45
  Speaker 4: I think, I don't know, man, I guess we're getting
• 1:26:47
  Speaker 4: sharm and soft because I think that's a namby pamby take.
• 1:26:50
  Speaker 4: I think I think, look at look at there is
• 1:26:53
  Speaker 4: a Let me ask you this. Have you ever seen
• 1:26:56
  Speaker 4: officials get into the the chef of a player who's
• 1:27:02
  Speaker 4: jawjacking and and physically help push walk them away? Have
• 1:27:08
  Speaker 4: you ever seen that? Have you seen that hundreds of times?
• 1:27:12
  Speaker 4: Thousands of time as a sports fan, as a football fan?
• 1:27:16
  Speaker 4: Have you got seen a thousands? But I've seen it
• 1:27:17
  Speaker 4: a bunch. I've seen it a bunch of Yeah, Okay,
• 1:27:20
  Speaker 4: I've seen it a bunch of times too. I've seen
• 1:27:22
  Speaker 4: it hundreds of times, just like you guys. And what
• 1:27:25
  Speaker 4: I'm saying is that that official in that moment with
• 1:27:29
  Speaker 4: the super Bowl on the line, requel was being a
• 1:27:32
  Speaker 4: total ass ass hat. I get that, but a good
• 1:27:39
  Speaker 4: official would have have intervened in a much more aggressive
• 1:27:43
  Speaker 4: manner trying to say, look, it's fourth and twelve. I'm
• 1:27:47
  Speaker 4: not bailing out the freaking rams with fourth and twelve
• 1:27:51
  Speaker 4: and barely more than a quarter to go to the
• 1:27:53
  Speaker 4: Super Bowl, I'm not bailing them out. Do I have
• 1:27:55
  Speaker 4: anything other at my disposal other than throwing the flag? Yes,
• 1:28:00
  Speaker 4: I do. I can go get into Wrek Wollen's face
• 1:28:03
  Speaker 4: and I can walk him away, push him away. And oh,
• 1:28:06
  Speaker 4: by the way, when he threw the flag was when
• 1:28:10
  Speaker 4: Rek Wollen was already four or five yards going back
• 1:28:13
  Speaker 4: to the sideline. So so my outreage at the officile
• 1:28:17
  Speaker 4: should not mask my opinion about Rerek Wolan. Grek Wollen
• 1:28:20
  Speaker 4: was selfish. He was an ass haf Yeah, but there
• 1:28:23
  Speaker 4: can be two truce, and that official did not officiate
• 1:28:27
  Speaker 4: the way a good official would officiate.
• 1:28:30
  Speaker 3: Hm.
• 1:28:31
  Speaker 6: I mean, I'll just if you act stupid, then you
• 1:28:34
  Speaker 6: win stupid prizes, right, you play stupid games, you win
• 1:28:37
  Speaker 6: stupid prizes. It's not the first time I'll just say this.
• 1:28:41
  Speaker 6: I think these officials, well, if there's definitely room for
• 1:28:43
  Speaker 6: improvement across the board, they're human and they know who
• 1:28:47
  Speaker 6: these players are. They know if there's somebody that has
• 1:28:49
  Speaker 6: a tendency. Would I have liked for it to go
• 1:28:51
  Speaker 6: the way that you're talking about, get up in his
• 1:28:53
  Speaker 6: chest and say hey, get get and if he doesn't
• 1:28:56
  Speaker 6: go after the first or maybe second, move it along,
• 1:28:59
  Speaker 6: then throw the flag or it's like, oh you are
• 1:29:02
  Speaker 6: you really gonna do this?
• 1:29:03
  Speaker 4: How far are you going to go?
• 1:29:04
  Speaker 6: Because I think the fact that he didn't throw it
• 1:29:06
  Speaker 6: right off the bat it's as he started to walk
• 1:29:08
  Speaker 6: even closer to the You know, if you're walking away
• 1:29:12
  Speaker 6: and John, I don't think he throws flag even if
• 1:29:14
  Speaker 6: the exact same amount of time goes he says the
• 1:29:17
  Speaker 6: same words.
• 1:29:18
  Speaker 4: It's that he.
• 1:29:18
  Speaker 6: Starts walking even closer to it. At some point you
• 1:29:21
  Speaker 6: just got to go, hey, don't stupid, or it's selfish
• 1:29:24
  Speaker 6: and it's gonna cost yourn.
• 1:29:25
  Speaker 4: You're analyzing that from a Rek wall in perspective. I
• 1:29:28
  Speaker 4: agree with all of that. What I'm saying is that
• 1:29:32
  Speaker 4: officiles have more than one way to handle it. If
• 1:29:35
  Speaker 4: the officiles just want to give you a slight little
• 1:29:38
  Speaker 4: pat on the back and say hey, you better like
• 1:29:42
  Speaker 4: like barely even touch him, and and then and the
• 1:29:46
  Speaker 4: thisicle wants to sit back and eat popcorn and be
• 1:29:50
  Speaker 4: an observer to all that. If that's the only option
• 1:29:54
  Speaker 4: he has to him, then yeah, call throw the flag.
• 1:29:57
  Speaker 4: Throw the flag, because it was clearly taunting, absolutely clearly taunting.
• 1:30:02
  Speaker 4: But what I'm contesting is that is not the only
• 1:30:06
  Speaker 4: option a official has. Option A. He can get this
• 1:30:11
  Speaker 4: popcorn and watch it all take place, assess and say
• 1:30:14
  Speaker 4: that's tawning, and throw the flag. Option B is we're
• 1:30:18
  Speaker 4: playing for the Super Bowl. It's fourth and twelve. I
• 1:30:21
  Speaker 4: ain't bailing out Team B to throw a penalty on
• 1:30:25
  Speaker 4: Team A in this situation. If there's something I can
• 1:30:29
  Speaker 4: do to interject, and in fact, there is something official
• 1:30:33
  Speaker 4: can do, he can walk up Torek Wolan, he can
• 1:30:36
  Speaker 4: see how it's going. He can hustle over, get physically
• 1:30:39
  Speaker 4: in the space of Rek Wolln, put his hands on
• 1:30:42
  Speaker 4: his chest and start to walk him back. Then and
• 1:30:44
  Speaker 4: get in his face and say, if you don't turn
• 1:30:47
  Speaker 4: around in two seconds, I'm gonna drop this freaking flag.
• 1:30:51
  Speaker 4: Get physically involved. And he had that option, he chose
• 1:30:56
  Speaker 4: to to eat popcorn and throw a flag. And that's
• 1:30:59
  Speaker 4: what and a good official would not have chosen that option.
• 1:31:03
  Speaker 4: A good official would have intervened physically, put himself in
• 1:31:06
  Speaker 4: between hell we saw what was the what was the
• 1:31:09
  Speaker 4: play where that dude or where Jackson Smith and Jigba
• 1:31:13
  Speaker 4: was on the sideline, he ends up on the opposing
• 1:31:15
  Speaker 4: bench like and he's sitting on the bench and that
• 1:31:17
  Speaker 4: referee came over and and do you remember that where
• 1:31:21
  Speaker 4: he put one hand on one side of the bench
• 1:31:24
  Speaker 4: and one hand on the other and he protected uh
• 1:31:26
  Speaker 4: uh JSN like he was like some war hero over
• 1:31:31
  Speaker 4: a grenade. Like he he just right in that moment,
• 1:31:34
  Speaker 4: he's he got in between all of the players as
• 1:31:38
  Speaker 4: js N was sitting on that bench. Do you remember
• 1:31:40
  Speaker 4: that was like two months ago? Remember that that was
• 1:31:42
  Speaker 4: an official in the moment saying I can my physical
• 1:31:47
  Speaker 4: presence can diffuse a situation. And that official did great
• 1:31:53
  Speaker 4: officiating and he was a complimented the official last night.
• 1:31:56
  Speaker 4: He sat, he sat, he stood there with popcorn. He
• 1:32:00
  Speaker 4: watched it all happen and then he threw the flag.
• 1:32:02
  Speaker 4: Because what Greek Wollan did was absolutely taunting, absolutely tawning,
• 1:32:08
  Speaker 4: not absolving him. Better officiating could have avoided it. I'm
• 1:32:11
  Speaker 4: not if I'm an official, I jolly well am not
• 1:32:15
  Speaker 4: bailing out a fourth and twelve with a quarter to
• 1:32:18
  Speaker 4: go with the super bow bowl on the line when
• 1:32:20
  Speaker 4: there's something else I can do, and the something else
• 1:32:23
  Speaker 4: I can do is get my ass in between the
• 1:32:25
  Speaker 4: player and the guy that he's taunting. He didn't throw
• 1:32:28
  Speaker 4: a punch, throws a punch, drop the flag, no matter what,
• 1:32:32
  Speaker 4: he's freaking jawjacking, and there's a way to prevent it.
• 1:32:35
  Speaker 4: I thought it was very poor officiating by very poor
• 1:32:37
  Speaker 4: Byrek Willan, very poor by the official.
• 1:32:40
  Speaker 2: I'm sure we're not done with the conversation. Mike Homeran's

  Speaker 2: Chuck and Buck in the Morning's Good morning, sir.
• 1:34:35
  Speaker 1: Good morning guys. Quite a morning.
• 1:34:38
  Speaker 4: How about that? Quite a game?
• 1:34:40
  Speaker 1: You know, I was thinking yesterday, well, last evening, when
• 1:34:43
  Speaker 1: I was about ready to go to bed. You take
• 1:34:46
  Speaker 1: the two championship games we saw, they couldn't be more different.
• 1:34:51
  Speaker 1: You had Snow, you had ten to seven, you had
• 1:34:54
  Speaker 1: quarterbacks play horrible, and then you had our game, beautiful
• 1:35:00
  Speaker 1: day in Seattle. Sun was shining, both quarterbacks are scoring
• 1:35:04
  Speaker 1: was up. That's my type of game, the ten to
• 1:35:07
  Speaker 1: seven game. And no trouble with that. I'll hand that
• 1:35:10
  Speaker 1: to somebody else.
• 1:35:11
  Speaker 4: Really, well, let's tell us more about your thoughts about
• 1:35:16
  Speaker 4: the passing. You love the passing from both sides, the
• 1:35:21
  Speaker 4: the the artistry of it all. But but just kind
• 1:35:25
  Speaker 4: of amplify your thoughts about what really impressed you in
• 1:35:29
  Speaker 4: all that.
• 1:35:29
  Speaker 1: Well, clearly, that's that's the first thing. Both quarterbacks were outstanding,
• 1:35:36
  Speaker 1: you know, and it was uh and they had to be.
• 1:35:39
  Speaker 1: They had to be because they're going against good defenses.
• 1:35:42
  Speaker 1: Although I really have questions about the Rams secretary, I
• 1:35:46
  Speaker 1: really do but give credit to the quarterbacks. They did
• 1:35:51
  Speaker 1: a great job, and then the receivers and Jigma and yeah,
• 1:35:56
  Speaker 1: oh gee, it was just it was fun to watch.
• 1:36:00
  Speaker 1: If you were neutral and didn't care, didn't have skin
• 1:36:06
  Speaker 1: in the game with either team, you had to just
• 1:36:09
  Speaker 1: enjoy that football game and the passing part of it.
• 1:36:13
  Speaker 1: The numbers are startling. I mean, you don't you don't
• 1:36:16
  Speaker 1: see that very often, and we saw it yesterday.
• 1:36:20
  Speaker 6: When you're watching Sam Darnold, I mean, there's been a
• 1:36:22
  Speaker 6: lot of criticism, and rightfully so to some degree, based
• 1:36:26
  Speaker 6: on how his career started. And yet the last couple
• 1:36:29
  Speaker 6: of years he's been pretty amazing for Minnesota and and
• 1:36:32
  Speaker 6: and then here this year with Seattle, and yet a
• 1:36:35
  Speaker 6: lot of people just have a hard time getting over
• 1:36:37
  Speaker 6: the turnover issue. Well, yesterday was not only did he
• 1:36:40
  Speaker 6: not just just take care of the ball, he went
• 1:36:42
  Speaker 6: out and diced up the rams secondary that you're talking
• 1:36:45
  Speaker 6: about with Hugh mentioned, there's multiple plays where maybe didn't
• 1:36:49
  Speaker 6: make the right decision, but he was So he wasn't perfect,
• 1:36:52
  Speaker 6: but he was good enough to kind of go tit
• 1:36:55
  Speaker 6: for tat with the with with the Rams in that situation.
• 1:36:58
  Speaker 6: So I mean, just over arching when you watch Sam Darnold,
• 1:37:01
  Speaker 6: championship caliber quarterback play is what you saw yesterday.
• 1:37:05
  Speaker 1: Absolutely, you know. I mean I I don't know if
• 1:37:09
  Speaker 1: and he would know this as well. I don't think
• 1:37:12
  Speaker 1: a quarterback is ever perfect. There's always going to be
• 1:37:16
  Speaker 1: a play here, a play there, or something you know
• 1:37:19
  Speaker 1: that that he gets a maybe a minus or a
• 1:37:21
  Speaker 1: zero grade on or something. But they came pretty close,
• 1:37:25
  Speaker 1: both of them yesterday. And in Sam, Sam's case, he
• 1:37:29
  Speaker 1: had to play. He had to be who he was
• 1:37:32
  Speaker 1: yesterday because the running game, which everyone had talked about,
• 1:37:37
  Speaker 1: you know, kind of how it's been so good the
• 1:37:40
  Speaker 1: last last few weeks of the season. They didn't have Charbonney,
• 1:37:43
  Speaker 1: but you know they still we're gonna have a good
• 1:37:45
  Speaker 1: running game. Well it was okay, but it wasn't It
• 1:37:48
  Speaker 1: wasn't really there. They had to throw the ball and
• 1:37:50
  Speaker 1: throw it well. And Sam, look at I've been I've
• 1:37:54
  Speaker 1: kind of liked him all season long, and I haven't
• 1:37:58
  Speaker 1: hid hidden that feeling, and so I was happy for him.
• 1:38:02
  Speaker 3: I mean, he.
• 1:38:03
  Speaker 1: He came through big for the team yesterday and he
• 1:38:07
  Speaker 1: had to. He had to play that type of game
• 1:38:09
  Speaker 1: to win the football game.
• 1:38:11
  Speaker 4: And just to clarify Bucky. You know, between the two
• 1:38:15
  Speaker 4: of them, they had seventy five dropbacks right and seventy
• 1:38:19
  Speaker 4: one pass attempts, four sacks between the two for both
• 1:38:24
  Speaker 4: Donald and Stafford. I was only trying to say from
• 1:38:27
  Speaker 4: a quarterback perspective, as Mike said, you're you can have
• 1:38:32
  Speaker 4: three or four plays on the tape where you say, well, now,
• 1:38:35
  Speaker 4: going back, we should have thrown it to somebody different.
• 1:38:39
  Speaker 4: H You know, three or four out of out of
• 1:38:42
  Speaker 4: you know, thirty five, thirty six, is that can still
• 1:38:45
  Speaker 4: be great quarterbacking. So my my point said that probably
• 1:38:50
  Speaker 4: I did a poor job of how I articulated that.
• 1:38:54
  Speaker 4: But when I was talking about what an amazing game
• 1:38:58
  Speaker 4: Darnald had had and he did, it wasn't amazing. I
• 1:39:01
  Speaker 4: was just trying to say it still wasn't exactly perfect,
• 1:39:04
  Speaker 4: and I probably didn't say it in the right context
• 1:39:07
  Speaker 4: that said, let's highlight this before we get off the quarterbacks,
• 1:39:11
  Speaker 4: because and I want to get your thoughts on this
• 1:39:13
  Speaker 4: as well, Hugh, But that Stafford drive when they fell
• 1:39:17
  Speaker 4: behind what was it, twenty four thirteen and then he
• 1:39:21
  Speaker 4: just comes back and he throws three of the best
• 1:39:23
  Speaker 4: throws you will ever see in your life. The forty
• 1:39:26
  Speaker 4: yarder just over Josh.
• 1:39:28
  Speaker 2: Job to Parkinson, the twenty nine yarder just over Josh
• 1:39:32
  Speaker 2: Jobs to Adams, and then the two yard touchdown pass
• 1:39:35
  Speaker 2: in the corner against wool And I'm like, I'm like,
• 1:39:38
  Speaker 2: can you play the position? And then all of a sudden,
• 1:39:40
  Speaker 2: the very next possession, Sam to speak to his confidence
• 1:39:45
  Speaker 2: and the way he slung the ball all over the
• 1:39:46
  Speaker 2: yard all year long is just like, I don't care
• 1:39:49
  Speaker 2: what I just watched. I can do that too, And
• 1:39:52
  Speaker 2: then he just marches the team right back down the
• 1:39:55
  Speaker 2: field and got the eleven yard, eleven point lead back. Coach,
• 1:39:58
  Speaker 2: I'll start with you just that little sequence of those
• 1:40:02
  Speaker 2: two I mean there was four possessions in a role
• 1:40:04
  Speaker 2: like that. I mean, does it get any better than
• 1:40:07
  Speaker 2: that quarterback play? No, that was really that was really something.
• 1:40:10
  Speaker 2: And the stafford that was you know, they had one, two, three,
• 1:40:13
  Speaker 2: four plays, four plays and they started on the twenty five.
• 1:40:18
  Speaker 2: That's that's moving the ball pretty fast. And beautiful throws,
• 1:40:21
  Speaker 2: different throws, beautiful throws, you know.
• 1:40:24
  Speaker 4: A lot of them.
• 1:40:24
  Speaker 1: When they see it on television, you see how close
• 1:40:30
  Speaker 1: the actual defender is and how where that hand is
• 1:40:33
  Speaker 1: and the ball's dropping in there and there's a good
• 1:40:36
  Speaker 1: cat you go, man, that's something you know, I haven't
• 1:40:38
  Speaker 1: played the position myself a long time ago. You can't
• 1:40:41
  Speaker 1: do that all the time. But they did it, and
• 1:40:43
  Speaker 1: then Sam just said, Okay, that's pretty good. He did
• 1:40:47
  Speaker 1: a nice job. Now watch me.
• 1:40:49
  Speaker 4: Yeah, boom boom, boom boom.
• 1:40:51
  Speaker 1: And so it just seemed the game went that way,
• 1:40:55
  Speaker 1: particularly in the second half.
• 1:40:57
  Speaker 4: You know, yeah, I think on that drive, I think
• 1:41:02
  Speaker 4: if you're comparing the two on those particular occasions, you know,
• 1:41:05
  Speaker 4: Stafford had the more the higher degree of difficulty, right,
• 1:41:09
  Speaker 4: Like you mentioned that where he goes boot left, stops
• 1:41:12
  Speaker 4: and throws back a corner route to the tight end
• 1:41:15
  Speaker 4: over the outstretched fingers of job. Incredible the go route
• 1:41:19
  Speaker 4: that you described the sequence well for on that particular drive,
• 1:41:25
  Speaker 4: you know, there's a third and nine where Darnald he
• 1:41:28
  Speaker 4: ends up throwing in the flat low and you know
• 1:41:31
  Speaker 4: Cup made a great you know catch at his ankles,
• 1:41:34
  Speaker 4: but for that, you know you're gonna have to punt.
• 1:41:37
  Speaker 4: The touchdown ends up being he throws that choice route
• 1:41:41
  Speaker 4: to to Cup and you know there's somebodies in there.
• 1:41:47
  Speaker 4: There was a lot you know, he had to be
• 1:41:49
  Speaker 4: anticipatory couldn't be laid on that, and so it was
• 1:41:52
  Speaker 4: a relatively short throw. But the read and processing all
• 1:41:56
  Speaker 4: the potential threats I think made it a higher degree
• 1:41:59
  Speaker 4: of difficulty then people would think as far as the throw.
• 1:42:02
  Speaker 4: But Cup, you know, makes the catch and goes strong
• 1:42:04
  Speaker 4: in the end zone without fumbling. So yeah, there was
• 1:42:07
  Speaker 4: an exchange there, Mike. Two touchdowns by Seattle, two touchdowns
• 1:42:11
  Speaker 4: by the Rams that third quarter. If you were feeling
• 1:42:14
  Speaker 4: like there's not enough scoring to be called a great game,
• 1:42:18
  Speaker 4: that third quarter ramped it up and gave you those
• 1:42:21
  Speaker 4: four touchdowns. And then now it's starting to vault into
• 1:42:24
  Speaker 4: just like an instant classic type game, not even from
• 1:42:27
  Speaker 4: a Seattle perspective, but from an NFL perspective.
• 1:42:30
  Speaker 1: No, they did. Both teams just exploded. You know, it
• 1:42:33
  Speaker 1: was really something. It's fun to watch.
• 1:42:37
  Speaker 2: Mike Omrian with us here Monday morning quarterback session. What
• 1:42:40
  Speaker 2: did you think of Cooper Cup fighting for that yard
• 1:42:44
  Speaker 2: there at the end.
• 1:42:45
  Speaker 1: I thought, you know, he doesn't I don't think he
• 1:42:48
  Speaker 1: gets enough credit, you know, I mean, he hasn't caught
• 1:42:52
  Speaker 1: azillion balls this year. You know, everyone talks about and
• 1:42:55
  Speaker 1: Jake Unn they should you know, he's remarkable. But I
• 1:42:59
  Speaker 1: think Cup has been important to the football team in
• 1:43:02
  Speaker 1: a lot of different ways, not only catching balls that
• 1:43:06
  Speaker 1: when they really need it. Yeah, and and maybe there's
• 1:43:10
  Speaker 1: four guys around in jigmas, so they have to he
• 1:43:12
  Speaker 1: has to go to another another person. Uh, But I
• 1:43:17
  Speaker 1: think in leadership he blocks. There was a couple of
• 1:43:19
  Speaker 1: plays yesterday he was the lead blocker and just his
• 1:43:24
  Speaker 1: block allowed the ball carrier or the other receiver to
• 1:43:28
  Speaker 1: get a first down. And so he's a valuable guy
• 1:43:32
  Speaker 1: on the football team, he really is. And I'm uh.
• 1:43:35
  Speaker 1: And then he was going against his old team that
• 1:43:38
  Speaker 1: he was the MVP of the league, you know when
• 1:43:40
  Speaker 1: he when he played for the Rams, And uh, that's
• 1:43:44
  Speaker 1: that's always a little added thing, you know, when I
• 1:43:46
  Speaker 1: coached against teams I formerly coached four, there's always a
• 1:43:51
  Speaker 1: little bit of stuff there, you know. And so I'm
• 1:43:53
  Speaker 1: I'm sure he was feeling the same thing.
• 1:43:55
  Speaker 2: Kula calls him the All Father Odin that's what he
• 1:43:59
  Speaker 2: calls them. And then Stafford after the game there was
• 1:44:01
  Speaker 2: there's video of him and he wouldn't leave the field
• 1:44:04
  Speaker 2: until he found Cooper. He's like asking everybody where's ten.
• 1:44:07
  Speaker 2: He's like trying to get and then for him to
• 1:44:09
  Speaker 2: make sure I'm not leaving the field until I congratulate.
• 1:44:12
  Speaker 4: That shows you something. Oh no, that's great.
• 1:44:15
  Speaker 1: And that's that doesn't get talked about too much in
• 1:44:19
  Speaker 1: sports anymore. It doesn't seem like it to me. But
• 1:44:23
  Speaker 1: that always was a big deal to me. You know
• 1:44:26
  Speaker 1: that you go around, you shake the other coach's hand
• 1:44:28
  Speaker 1: after a tough loss, you say whatever you do, you're
• 1:44:31
  Speaker 1: you're off the field, you go to some place and
• 1:44:33
  Speaker 1: you have a beer together. Now you're battling like crazy. Okay,
• 1:44:38
  Speaker 1: but the sportsmanship you know now I'm old.
• 1:44:43
  Speaker 15: I know that.
• 1:44:44
  Speaker 2: I know that you would have given Ben Johnson a
• 1:44:46
  Speaker 2: hip toss right there on the fifty yard line, I think.
• 1:44:49
  Speaker 1: But I wish when I hear stories like that, do
• 1:44:53
  Speaker 1: I like it?
• 1:44:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 1:44:53
  Speaker 4: Me too, Mike. Let's say you talked about the cup
• 1:44:58
  Speaker 4: play on the third and seven on that last drive,
• 1:45:01
  Speaker 4: and and I think it might be worth just diving
• 1:45:04
  Speaker 4: a little bit into that.
• 1:45:06
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 1:45:06
  Speaker 4: The play mic was Flanker Drive, which I assume you've
• 1:45:09
  Speaker 4: called well over a thousand times and you've installed it,
• 1:45:15
  Speaker 4: and and yet talk about like when when you talk
• 1:45:19
  Speaker 4: about the tight ends role, you know, before he runs
• 1:45:21
  Speaker 4: his basic, you know he's gonna have an outside release
• 1:45:24
  Speaker 4: and man to try and get that pick.
• 1:45:26
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 1:45:26
  Speaker 4: But then when you have the receiver in the slot
• 1:45:29
  Speaker 4: as Injigba was, you know, you still want to try
• 1:45:32
  Speaker 4: and get that rub.
• 1:45:33
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 1:45:33
  Speaker 4: The Seahawks didn't quite get the rub they wanted, so
• 1:45:35
  Speaker 4: there was tighter coverage on Cuff when he ran that
• 1:45:38
  Speaker 4: drive route.
• 1:45:39
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 1:45:39
  Speaker 4: And in Jigba was running the basic, guys, Chuck and Puck,
• 1:45:43
  Speaker 4: a basic is is you know twelve to fourteen? Uh.
• 1:45:47
  Speaker 4: You know the depth can vary, but it's an in route.
• 1:45:51
  Speaker 4: But it's a compliment to you know that that that
• 1:45:54
  Speaker 4: works well in zone and man. But but the details
• 1:45:56
  Speaker 4: there with Injigba running having an inside release instead of
• 1:46:02
  Speaker 4: the outside release to to get the pick. Didn't get
• 1:46:07
  Speaker 4: everything they want about out of that play. Just talk
• 1:46:09
  Speaker 4: about how you install that play.
• 1:46:11
  Speaker 1: Well, it seems to me if they uh, yes, you install,
• 1:46:15
  Speaker 1: whoever has the basic is going to release outside okay.
• 1:46:19
  Speaker 4: And and and.
• 1:46:21
  Speaker 1: The crosser the drive route is going to be using that.
• 1:46:25
  Speaker 1: Come underneath that and use that uh. And if and
• 1:46:28
  Speaker 1: if if he's open, you hit him, he's number one.
• 1:46:32
  Speaker 1: Then the crossers too and so on. It's that's the progression.
• 1:46:36
  Speaker 1: So if I had to put it on paper, the
• 1:46:39
  Speaker 1: best way to do that would we have Cup be
• 1:46:42
  Speaker 1: the crosser and then Jig would be the drive route,
• 1:46:45
  Speaker 1: you know, But they did it that way, and I
• 1:46:47
  Speaker 1: think it just tells me something about what they feel
• 1:46:50
  Speaker 1: about Cup and then and how he does things and
• 1:46:54
  Speaker 1: they can trust him. And you get a receiver, you
• 1:46:57
  Speaker 1: know what he's gonna you know he's gonna turn, you
• 1:46:58
  Speaker 1: know what he's gonna release, and he's going to run
• 1:47:02
  Speaker 1: it the way you've taught it. And I think that's
• 1:47:05
  Speaker 1: very very important.
• 1:47:06
  Speaker 4: Coach.
• 1:47:07
  Speaker 6: You mentioned a little bit earlier about how Sam Darnold
• 1:47:10
  Speaker 6: had to go out there and throw the ball the
• 1:47:11
  Speaker 6: way that he did in order to win that ball game,
• 1:47:13
  Speaker 6: and and I understand understand that and degree when ken
• 1:47:18
  Speaker 6: Walker was running early, I mean the first possession, I
• 1:47:20
  Speaker 6: think there was a run before they got down there,
• 1:47:22
  Speaker 6: and then it was bang bang, bang, three in a
• 1:47:24
  Speaker 6: row that punched in that first touchdown. He was running hard,
• 1:47:27
  Speaker 6: he was running fairly well, and yet there was some
• 1:47:30
  Speaker 6: possessions where they had like that fumbled snap followed by
• 1:47:34
  Speaker 6: like a sack. So now it was sudden your way
• 1:47:35
  Speaker 6: behind the change you have to pass. Did you like
• 1:47:38
  Speaker 6: what you saw out of him running when you didn't
• 1:47:40
  Speaker 6: have Zach Charbonay, So when they would bring George Hallani in,
• 1:47:44
  Speaker 6: he wasn't running as effectively. Even dropped a pass I
• 1:47:47
  Speaker 6: know out of the backfield that Charboney has been really
• 1:47:48
  Speaker 6: good at catching and so it felt like there you
• 1:47:51
  Speaker 6: were missing something and not having your your second running
• 1:47:54
  Speaker 6: back out there. But when he was running the ball,
• 1:47:57
  Speaker 6: did it was it effective enough at least to you know, uh,
• 1:48:02
  Speaker 6: you know, play off of with the with the passing game.
• 1:48:04
  Speaker 4: I think so.
• 1:48:05
  Speaker 1: I think early in the game, I'm going, boy, he's
• 1:48:07
  Speaker 1: he's he's raring to go. I mean he saw him
• 1:48:11
  Speaker 1: start and hop and he won one play. I think
• 1:48:14
  Speaker 1: it was early. The linebacker was unblocked in the hole,
• 1:48:18
  Speaker 1: you know the play I'm talking about, and he left him.
• 1:48:21
  Speaker 1: His shoes are still out on the field. I mean,
• 1:48:23
  Speaker 1: he's like you a very And to hughes point last
• 1:48:27
  Speaker 1: week he talked about where they lined him up. I'm
• 1:48:31
  Speaker 1: watching that and I'm he is eight yards at least
• 1:48:36
  Speaker 1: lined up deep, and I think it's because so he
• 1:48:40
  Speaker 1: can do that kind so he can see and use
• 1:48:43
  Speaker 1: that hop and movement stuff that he's so good at effectively.
• 1:48:48
  Speaker 1: And uh no, I I was a little I would question,
• 1:48:52
  Speaker 1: I would you know, the other guy, Halani Walker. They
• 1:49:00
  Speaker 1: took him out of the game and he you know,
• 1:49:02
  Speaker 1: and I don't know if he gets tired.
• 1:49:03
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 1:49:04
  Speaker 2: There was a drive where they started with Halani on
• 1:49:06
  Speaker 2: the field and I'm like, what is happening?
• 1:49:08
  Speaker 8: Why?
• 1:49:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I know, And so I don't know if he
• 1:49:11
  Speaker 1: gets nicked up or you know, he gets tired, I
• 1:49:14
  Speaker 1: don't know, but I would like to the way he started,
• 1:49:19
  Speaker 1: I'm going, okay, he's gonna be over one hundred and
• 1:49:22
  Speaker 1: and and it's really going to help this team today.
• 1:49:24
  Speaker 4: But you know, Mike with his contributions, you know, he
• 1:49:29
  Speaker 4: ended up at one hundred and nine yards from scrimmage,
• 1:49:32
  Speaker 4: and and he had four catches for forty nine yards.
• 1:49:36
  Speaker 4: All four of his catches were ten yards or more.
• 1:49:38
  Speaker 4: He had two screen passes, but on a third and
• 1:49:43
  Speaker 4: ten they ran him on an out route and he
• 1:49:48
  Speaker 4: looked like a wide receiver on that, you know, kind
• 1:49:51
  Speaker 4: of that Omaha route, and and he catches it and
• 1:49:54
  Speaker 4: has the presence to just barely get the first down.
• 1:49:58
  Speaker 4: So that was very ci pivotal in the second half, right,
• 1:50:02
  Speaker 4: and then in the last drive they throw him the
• 1:50:05
  Speaker 4: ball in the flat. Now they happen to have an
• 1:50:07
  Speaker 4: end dropping it was it was I think Brian Young,
• 1:50:11
  Speaker 4: and he made a guy missed, then made the linebacker
• 1:50:14
  Speaker 4: miss and made a safety miss, made three guys miss
• 1:50:17
  Speaker 4: and gets a fifteen yarder. So his contributions in the
• 1:50:21
  Speaker 4: first half as a runner, but then in the second
• 1:50:23
  Speaker 4: half some really big plays as a receiver. Again one
• 1:50:27
  Speaker 4: hundred nine yards from from scrimmage. What about him and
• 1:50:33
  Speaker 4: his contributions in that area.
• 1:50:34
  Speaker 1: Well, I think, yeah, I think he's he's a talented back,
• 1:50:39
  Speaker 1: and he's he can catch the ball. Not every running
• 1:50:42
  Speaker 1: back can run those types of routes and you have
• 1:50:46
  Speaker 1: you're really confident that's gonna happen. But he can do that.
• 1:50:50
  Speaker 1: So but again, I don't know why. I don't know
• 1:50:54
  Speaker 1: why he's not in there more. Maybe it's the type
• 1:50:57
  Speaker 1: of every one seems like it has two backs. Now,
• 1:51:01
  Speaker 1: every team has two backs. And we've talked about it before.
• 1:51:04
  Speaker 1: I've talked about it before. You instead of you got
• 1:51:08
  Speaker 1: the guy, let him play. He's a great player, keep
• 1:51:11
  Speaker 1: him in there. You know you you already mentioned how
• 1:51:13
  Speaker 1: good he is catching the ball, you know, and he
• 1:51:16
  Speaker 1: can do those things. And he's hard to tackle, you know,
• 1:51:21
  Speaker 1: if you don't wrap him up. He's even when he's
• 1:51:25
  Speaker 1: hit and there's a group around him, it seems like
• 1:51:27
  Speaker 1: he squirts through for three more yards. I mean, he's
• 1:51:30
  Speaker 1: really talented back. So uh, I'm hoping now his contract
• 1:51:34
  Speaker 1: is this contract up this year? Yes, okay, that'll be
• 1:51:37
  Speaker 1: an interesting thing to watch.
• 1:51:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I've read a yard after contact, but he's got
• 1:51:40
  Speaker 2: to legal NFL and yards after eight players.
• 1:51:43
  Speaker 4: At the same time or contacting him what it is
• 1:51:47
  Speaker 4: he squeezes out and gets like two or three more yards.
• 1:51:50
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 1:51:51
  Speaker 1: But then we get of course I don't. We shouldn't
• 1:51:53
  Speaker 1: on a victory day like today, we shouldn't talk about
• 1:51:56
  Speaker 1: the officials. But I think that when eight guys are
• 1:52:01
  Speaker 1: holding the how many times you see eight guys, here
• 1:52:03
  Speaker 1: comes the offensive wine and pushing it. There's another eight
• 1:52:05
  Speaker 1: guys and they don't. They used to stop forward progress,
• 1:52:08
  Speaker 1: the whistle used to stop it. Now they just it's rugby.
• 1:52:13
  Speaker 1: Until the guy goes down, everyone jumps on him. Whistle.
• 1:52:17
  Speaker 1: You know, I don't get it, But that's another that's
• 1:52:20
  Speaker 1: another story.
• 1:52:21
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, all right, we got more with the coach
• 1:52:24
  Speaker 4: and Hugh.
• 1:52:25
  Speaker 2: Of course, we got to talk about the Woolen situation
• 1:52:28
  Speaker 2: with the coach, get his thoughts on it. And we
• 1:52:30
  Speaker 2: still haven't really talked about Nicky Manoori's impact on this game,
• 1:52:33
  Speaker 2: so I want to make sure we get to that
• 1:52:34
  Speaker 2: in our next segment. It's Sports Radio ninety three point
