- 1:36Speaker 5: was when I drove down. I mean just the people
- 1:39Speaker 5: that I saw trying to make sure they got parking.
- 1:41Speaker 5: That's one. They weren't hour into this bad boy. Yeah,
- 1:43Speaker 5: Jimmy's is packed. They haven't opened the bar yet. I

- 1:50Speaker 3: You're gonna sell liquor today?
- 1:51Speaker 4: Yeah?
- 1:52Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't think today is a day that you're
- 1:54Speaker 5: gonna have to worry about make whether you're gonna make
- 1:56Speaker 5: money or not.
- 1:58Speaker 3: Well, welcome, man, it's our set an o'clock hour. For
- 2:01Speaker 3: the most part, we're doing a Seahawks season in review
- 2:03Speaker 3: kind of show, but of course we are keeping our
- 2:06Speaker 3: eyes on the mayhem that is descending upon us here
- 2:10Speaker 3: at Jimmy's on for a Silver Cloud Hotel as we
- 2:14Speaker 3: get ready for parade Day. Complete coverage starts at ten o'clock.
- 2:17Speaker 3: No better person to lead up our coverage than our
- 2:20Speaker 3: own e infness, and then we'll have out in the
- 2:22Speaker 3: field Ashley, Ryan Jackson feltz, we'll have a Softy and
- 2:27Speaker 3: a cast of thousands to deliver you all the activity
- 2:31Speaker 3: all day long.
- 2:32Speaker 4: Yeah, not a whole heck of a lot.
- 2:33Speaker 5: You're gonna be able to miss, right, I mean, whether
- 2:35Speaker 5: if you're down here, you're down here, if you're not
- 2:37Speaker 5: down here and you want to feel like you're down here,
- 2:39Speaker 5: I think Ian and Ashley and Softie and Jackson, everybody's
- 2:42Speaker 5: gonna be able to bring it. We're doing the little prefunk.
- 2:44Speaker 5: We're getting everybody just ripperor ready to go.
- 2:46Speaker 6: Right.
- 2:46Speaker 5: But then when our worst show's done, this thing's gonna
- 2:48Speaker 5: kick off, and yeah, it is going to be an
- 2:50Speaker 5: absolute madhouse.
- 2:52Speaker 3: And of course no children will be here. The educational
- 2:55Speaker 3: system has decided that it is not an excuse daptions
- 2:59Speaker 3: to come to the Super Bowl parade. So sorry, Actually,
- 3:02Speaker 3: I guess we won't see Palmer here.
- 3:03Speaker 2: I guess she's getting an unexcused out.
- 3:05Speaker 3: So sad a girl.
- 3:07Speaker 4: I heard that yesterday that Seattle public schools are like,
- 3:10Speaker 4: we're not going to consider this an excused episode. Who cares?
- 3:14Speaker 7: My dad took me out of school to see the
- 3:15Speaker 7: Mariners play the Angels in that wild card playoff game.
- 3:19Speaker 5: Well, I bet you didn't have that memory, but you
- 3:21Speaker 5: had that one extra day and miss Rutherford's class, right,
- 3:25Speaker 5: I was.
- 3:25Speaker 3: So yeah, so mad? I missed physics. You would understand
- 3:28Speaker 3: silent Jays a lot better today had you been there
- 3:31Speaker 3: for class to day, because that's the lesson that you missed,
- 3:34Speaker 3: just to go to a Mariner's space physic.
- 3:36Speaker 4: Did you hear just drop physics in there? As a
- 3:38Speaker 4: small flex? Usc?
- 3:40Speaker 3: Guy was a flex, wasn't it. Well, good morning everybody.
- 3:44Speaker 3: It is parade day and we are all set up
- 3:47Speaker 3: and ready to deliver it for you. And lookye lucky,
- 3:49Speaker 3: who is here? It is our Seahawks insider Greg Bell,
- 3:53Speaker 3: who just decided, Hey, I'm going down there anyway. I'm
- 3:55Speaker 3: going down there early. I might as well join Chuck
- 3:58Speaker 3: and Buck on the parae. Rude, how you doing, sir?
- 4:01Speaker 4: It's great.
- 4:01Speaker 6: It's the earliest I've ever been at the stadium. I
- 4:03Speaker 6: can say that pre dawn six thirty. The scoreboard was
- 4:07Speaker 6: already had the Super Bowl logo up, the Super Bowl
- 4:09Speaker 6: Champions logo up, And yeah, I was surprised to see
- 4:12Speaker 6: people lined up to come into this Jimmy for breakfast
- 4:15Speaker 6: and bruise and police already have occidental cordoned off people
- 4:20Speaker 6: already walking outside the stadium. And I was here. They
- 4:24Speaker 6: did parade twelve years ago. It was like fifteen degrees
- 4:27Speaker 6: and it was memory. It was one of those where
- 4:29Speaker 6: were you days? And that's another one of these today.
- 4:32Speaker 3: Yeah, what what does stand out about that one?
- 4:35Speaker 4: Marshawn Lynch. I heard Ashley mentioned it earlier.
- 4:38Speaker 6: Every time I think of the prey, I think of
- 4:40Speaker 6: rided ducks, trucks which don't even exist anymore, and Marshawn
- 4:43Speaker 6: Lynch sitting on the top of it throwing skittles.
- 4:46Speaker 4: He wasn't tossing skittles. He was Bazuoka cannoning skittles.
- 4:50Speaker 6: They did the crowd and yeah, as Ashley said, there
- 4:53Speaker 6: were a few people with a few pots. There were
- 4:55Speaker 6: some people some players were slizzard at top of those
- 5:00Speaker 6: ride the ducks as they went through the parade.
- 5:02Speaker 3: It's interesting that you bring that up, and maybe I
- 5:04Speaker 3: don't understand it. You could correct me if I don't
- 5:08Speaker 3: understand it. But they're doing the ceremony at ten o'clock
- 5:11Speaker 3: from the stadium. Yes, I think that is so smart.
- 5:14Speaker 3: Why have we not done this every Super Bowl parade
- 5:17Speaker 3: in the past. Why why have a parade and have
- 5:20Speaker 3: them drink all day and then put them behind a
- 5:23Speaker 3: microphone on a stage and usually they handle it well
- 5:26Speaker 3: and we don't have too much controversy. But why even
- 5:29Speaker 3: risk that at the end of the day. Let them
- 5:31Speaker 3: speak on the stage and to their fans when they're sober,
- 5:35Speaker 3: and then go let them have a good time and
- 5:37Speaker 3: they don't have to risk saying something they're gonna regret
- 5:40Speaker 3: because that layer of protection is down.
- 5:42Speaker 4: Because they've had too much to drink.
- 5:43Speaker 6: They've learned because they're doing it exactly the opposite this time.
- 5:47Speaker 6: Last time they went from north to south and went
- 5:49Speaker 6: down First Avenue through Pioneer Square, ended at the stadium
- 5:53Speaker 6: and then had their ceremony after. They're doing this as
- 5:56Speaker 6: you said, they're doing the ceremony first, and then they're
- 5:58Speaker 6: going north. They're going from south north the opposite way.
- 6:00Speaker 6: They're also going up Fourth Avenue instead of First this time,
- 6:03Speaker 6: and they're ending about the space in the fourth and Cedar,
- 6:07Speaker 6: So there was a longer parade route to spread the
- 6:09Speaker 6: crowd out. It was a shorter route and it was
- 6:12Speaker 6: more concentrated last time. Yeah, they've learned. It was eleven years,
- 6:17Speaker 6: but they've had a plan in the back of their minds.
- 6:19Speaker 6: Twelve years. They've had a plan in the back of
- 6:21Speaker 6: their minds. And just to let people know, this isn't
- 6:23Speaker 6: just some pop up that happened Sunday night after they win.
- 6:27Speaker 6: They as soon as the Seahawks won the NFC Championship,
- 6:30Speaker 6: they the Seattle Police Department, the City of Seattle, the
- 6:35Speaker 6: Sports and Convention Bureau here in Seattle all got together
- 6:38Speaker 6: as a contingency and mapped out how this would look
- 6:41Speaker 6: if they went New England. Did the same thing in Boston.
- 6:45Speaker 6: But this is a lot of coordination, a lot of work,
- 6:48Speaker 6: a lot of law enforcement, a lot of security unfortunately
- 6:50Speaker 6: in the public society we're in. But this is a
- 6:54Speaker 6: massive pool by specific and entities to make something like
- 6:59Speaker 6: this happen. Right, and there may be more people down
- 7:02Speaker 6: here than there were twelve years ago. That cold weather.
- 7:05Speaker 6: I think it took away some. There was more of
- 7:08Speaker 6: a fervor in this city for that championship, I believe
- 7:10Speaker 6: because it was the first one. Yeah, it was You
- 7:16Speaker 6: never forget your first one right, and.
- 7:18Speaker 4: That that was so new.
- 7:19Speaker 3: I had a lot of fervor from my first one.
- 7:21Speaker 4: I remember. I don't know if she thinks.
- 7:24Speaker 3: That, probably too much.
- 7:26Speaker 4: I'm not sure she thinks that in retrospects.
- 7:28Speaker 3: Probably got a little too excited.
- 7:32Speaker 4: She did mention that.
- 7:34Speaker 3: But there is a different then.
- 7:38Speaker 4: It was a middling five hundred team.
- 7:41Speaker 6: I mean, this team was eight and eight, nine and
- 7:43Speaker 6: seven and seven to nine for pretty much two decades.
- 7:45Speaker 6: Go back to Dennis ericson everything post Chuck Knox and
- 7:48Speaker 6: pre Chuck Knox was not winning consistently, so that first
- 7:52Speaker 6: twenty thirteen fourteen season, twenty thirteen season, Parade was off
- 7:57Speaker 6: the hook. This is also a different personality team. They
- 8:00Speaker 6: don't have the grand standing, in your face personalities that
- 8:04Speaker 6: that leads in the Boom team had Marshaun lanch and
- 8:07Speaker 6: Richard Sherman and Earl Thomas and even Michael Bennett.
- 8:11Speaker 4: Not this team.
- 8:12Speaker 6: There's a different type of personality. There are only a
- 8:16Speaker 6: couple of dudes I could see sitting on the top
- 8:18Speaker 6: of a of a ride the Duck truck and throwing
- 8:21Speaker 6: skittles as hard as they could while Slizzard, one of
- 8:23Speaker 6: them's in the secondary was number twenty one. But by
- 8:27Speaker 6: the way, I voted for Devin Witherspoon to win the
- 8:29Speaker 6: MVP award in the Super Bowl. I had one of
- 8:31Speaker 6: the sixteen media votes, and when he hit that quarter,
- 8:35Speaker 6: when he hit May and forced the turnover into and Wilsu,
- 8:38Speaker 6: I voted for Witherspoon. I also my second vote was
- 8:40Speaker 6: Derek Hall. I thought it would have been more emblematic
- 8:44Speaker 6: of how this team won that game and won this
- 8:46Speaker 6: season to vote a defensive MVP. There's only been six
- 8:49Speaker 6: of them in the sixty year history of the Super Bowl.
- 8:52Speaker 6: It was nothing to take away from Kenneth Walker, but
- 8:54Speaker 6: that was a stat sheet MVP vote for those who
- 8:58Speaker 6: don't know the seahaw a little bit a cop out,
- 9:01Speaker 6: I think so. Yeah, for those who actually know the team,
- 9:04Speaker 6: followed the team and saw how they won, that should
- 9:06Speaker 6: have been a defensive MVP vote.
- 9:08Speaker 4: Yeah. I mean, we'd have.
- 9:09Speaker 3: Given it to McDonald. Are you allowed to vote for
- 9:11Speaker 3: McDonald that.
- 9:13Speaker 4: I had given it to Michael Dixon? Uh? But I do.
- 9:17Speaker 5: I do wonder how I mean, when you're comparing all
- 9:20Speaker 5: the teams that you've you've covered and how important is this?
- 9:24Speaker 5: I mean, is there a more likable team. I mean,
- 9:27Speaker 5: there's some guys that maybe I wouldn't be my straight
- 9:30Speaker 5: up cup of team. But just as a whole, the
- 9:32Speaker 5: team seems likable. They seem like they like each other.
- 9:35Speaker 6: Uh.
- 9:35Speaker 5: Just a feel around this squad. It felt like they
- 9:38Speaker 5: were that they were on a mission and that they
- 9:40Speaker 5: were going to have to be more capable of fulfilling
- 9:42Speaker 5: that mission than most.
- 9:43Speaker 6: That is absolutely true. They are more likable. They're easier
- 9:46Speaker 6: to talk to, win and lose, their stand up accountable.
- 9:50Speaker 6: I will tell you that fans are pressing their.
- 9:55Speaker 3: He works with us, Yeah, yeah, right, No, that's a
- 9:59Speaker 3: big fan. Oh yeah, oh, he loves us. They can't
- 10:02Speaker 3: get enough.
- 10:03Speaker 6: I credit Mike McDonald for that, Bucky and John Schneider.
- 10:07Speaker 6: John Schneider said he got away from the quality of
- 10:11Speaker 6: person that he was drafting and signing for need and
- 10:15Speaker 6: he went through a few drafts where he got caught
- 10:18Speaker 6: drafting for Need, Malik McDowell being one prime example of that,
- 10:21Speaker 6: but there were others and that he got back in
- 10:24Speaker 6: the last few years. Here's the scouting staff reassessed themselves
- 10:27Speaker 6: and said, let's get back to talking to the.
- 10:29Speaker 4: Janitors and the hall monitors and the ras.
- 10:32Speaker 6: At the schools, about these kids, about these players, about
- 10:36Speaker 6: who they are as people. Let's learn about their backgrounds
- 10:38Speaker 6: and their parents, and let's talk about that, and let's
- 10:42Speaker 6: build a culture as we build a team. And he said,
- 10:46Speaker 6: that's what it took to get back here. I talked
- 10:48Speaker 6: to him in the locker room amid all the huhuh
- 10:51Speaker 6: Sunday and May and it was pretty wild. I didn't
- 10:54Speaker 6: know there were that many Don Julio in nineteen forty
- 10:56Speaker 6: two bottles in existence that were in that locker room
- 10:59Speaker 6: at five hundred bucksow.
- 11:00Speaker 4: But that's aggressive.
- 11:02Speaker 6: John Schneider said, how hard it was to do what
- 11:05Speaker 6: they just did. I said, how hard is this to
- 11:08Speaker 6: get there twelve years ago, basically restructure and tear it
- 11:11Speaker 6: down and start back again with a new era. He said,
- 11:14Speaker 6: this is so hard to do because all the people
- 11:17Speaker 6: have to be aligned. The thought, the mission, the people
- 11:21Speaker 6: you bring in, all of it has to be aligned.
- 11:24Speaker 6: And Mike McDonald aligned this in less than two years.
- 11:27Speaker 6: That's how That's what's the remarkable part of this, to
- 11:31Speaker 6: do this and realign the franchise and to get everybody
- 11:34Speaker 6: on the same page. His clarity of messaging is what
- 11:37Speaker 6: the players talk about he's so consistent with his messaging
- 11:41Speaker 6: and to all the sayings he has twelve is one
- 11:44Speaker 6: and chasing edges, chasing edges and loose and focused. It's
- 11:49Speaker 6: so consistent and pre eminent in that building that the
- 11:53Speaker 6: culture really shaped and coalesced a lot more quickly than
- 11:57Speaker 6: most professional sports teams.
- 11:58Speaker 3: You know. And I think I brought this up. I
- 12:00Speaker 3: don't know it was yesterday. Maybe I brought it up
- 12:02Speaker 3: a Monday. But only people that cover the draft on
- 12:06Speaker 3: Saturday can know this. But I pointed out on yesterday's
- 12:12Speaker 3: show the character of the that you heard in the
- 12:17Speaker 3: interviews of the draftees the last three years. I think
- 12:20Speaker 3: they kind of got away. Yeah, they're they're drafting off
- 12:23Speaker 3: measurables and the Malik McDowell's and maybe we have that
- 12:26Speaker 3: home run hitter at three Technique that we've yearned for
- 12:29Speaker 3: for years, that Jermaine Effetti fills the doorway with his
- 12:33Speaker 3: frame and will tournament. They got away from character of
- 12:40Speaker 3: their players. And in the last three years, I've noted
- 12:44Speaker 3: it on Saturdays covering the draft with you down there
- 12:47Speaker 3: at Renton, Like every single interview, you're so impressed with
- 12:51Speaker 3: the young man that they just drafted, and I got
- 12:54Speaker 3: to believe that that's had an impact on everything you
- 12:56Speaker 3: were just discussing.
- 12:57Speaker 4: Absolutely, that's exactly what I'm talking about.
- 13:00Speaker 6: The personnel staff took guys in the last few years,
- 13:03Speaker 6: took guys off their board who didn't have the intangibles
- 13:07Speaker 6: they wanted in their building, and they raised people up
- 13:09Speaker 6: their board who did. Grey's Abel was a first round
- 13:13Speaker 6: picking most people's eyes. But there were many years in
- 13:15Speaker 6: the last few that the Seahawks would not have taken
- 13:17Speaker 6: greys Abel. In fact, they had never taken a guard
- 13:19Speaker 6: that high since Steve Hutchinson in two thousand and one.
- 13:22Speaker 6: Gray's Abel. When we talked to him when he was drafted,
- 13:25Speaker 6: he talked about his family's farm and working pure South
- 13:29Speaker 6: Dakota and what that taught him as a person, and
- 13:32Speaker 6: how to be a football player and a teammate and
- 13:34Speaker 6: getting up at four in the morning to melt the cows.
- 13:37Speaker 4: And then he talked about I said.
- 13:39Speaker 6: I asked him, Okay, now you just got drafted in
- 13:41Speaker 6: the NFL in the first round.
- 13:42Speaker 4: What are you going to do now?
- 13:43Speaker 6: He says, I'm about to break into these bush lights
- 13:44Speaker 6: that are sitting here. Instantly likable, instantly relatable, someone who
- 13:49Speaker 6: was not an nil baby, who had been already gotten
- 13:53Speaker 6: a million dollars from a Power five school and had
- 13:56Speaker 6: been above the world and thought he was hot blank
- 13:58Speaker 6: coming into the NFL the opposite of that. Yeah, And
- 14:01Speaker 6: he turned out to be the best first round draft
- 14:04Speaker 6: pick they've had since well, Devin Witherspoon. But since the
- 14:07Speaker 6: last few he has been all of that in the
- 14:10Speaker 6: bag of chips in the locker room. That's just one example, right,
- 14:13Speaker 6: and you go down the Nicki Munwori same way.
- 14:17Speaker 3: Still don't understand how he ended up at thirty five.
- 14:20Speaker 6: Even fifth round pick Tory Horton, Mike John Schneider goes
- 14:24Speaker 6: on and on about the quality of person to Tory
- 14:26Speaker 6: Horton and his family that those people are. That's what
- 14:30Speaker 6: they got Back to Chuck, You're right, and people don't
- 14:33Speaker 6: you know, fantasy football and betting, and they want to
- 14:37Speaker 6: get their widgets and the players are just widgets and
- 14:39Speaker 6: stat they're people. And the Seahawks decided and John Schneider
- 14:43Speaker 6: and Mike McDonald's cited to prioritize people and it made
- 14:46Speaker 6: them winners.
- 14:47Speaker 5: You were talking about clarity of message, and I mean
- 14:49Speaker 5: you being an officer in the army having to lead people.
- 14:54Speaker 4: What is it that he does?
- 14:56Speaker 5: And besides just clarity of message, because I mean there's
- 14:58Speaker 5: a lot of people out there that already a message.
- 15:00Speaker 5: But to get a guy like Gray's Abel and a
- 15:03Speaker 5: guy that's like Devin Witherspoon, but both to obviously roll
- 15:07Speaker 5: in the same direction, you know, I mean the meschine
- 15:10Speaker 5: of personalities. But then they all become you know, twelve
- 15:14Speaker 5: is one type of a thing. I mean, how what
- 15:16Speaker 5: is it that he does? It's different than other guys
- 15:18Speaker 5: you've seen.
- 15:20Speaker 6: He is very direct, he's very playing. He carries a
- 15:23Speaker 6: stick and a carrot at the same time. Most carrot guys,
- 15:26Speaker 6: meaning the ones who reward the players and player first,
- 15:29Speaker 6: don't have a stick because they're afraid of alien eating
- 15:31Speaker 6: the players.
- 15:31Speaker 4: This is true of leadership.
- 15:33Speaker 6: You if you have a stick and you're always pounding
- 15:36Speaker 6: him with a stick, eventually that.
- 15:37Speaker 4: Doesn't work either. Pete Carroll was more a carrot guy,
- 15:41Speaker 4: rarely had a stick.
- 15:42Speaker 6: Marshawn Lynch wanted to blow off entire preseasons and be
- 15:45Speaker 6: in San Francisco and Oakland working on as.
- 15:47Speaker 4: A sure or whatever.
- 15:48Speaker 6: Marshaw Lynch blew off an entire playoff week, and then
- 15:52Speaker 6: he also refused to get on a bus because he
- 15:54Speaker 6: found it was gonna be twenty below zero in Minnesota
- 15:56Speaker 6: for a playoff game.
- 15:57Speaker 4: You just skipped it. He was back in the starting
- 15:59Speaker 4: line after next week.
- 16:00Speaker 6: Pete Carroll didn't have the stick, but it worked for
- 16:02Speaker 6: him because of his force of personality and how much
- 16:05Speaker 6: they bought into his carrot. Mike McDonald has stick and carrot,
- 16:09Speaker 6: and he wields the stick a lot. I'll never forget
- 16:13Speaker 6: the first training camp. Guys were coming off the field
- 16:16Speaker 6: two twenty four summer guys were coming off the field,
- 16:19Speaker 6: rookies and young players, especially right off the field after
- 16:21Speaker 6: a practice, straight into the building. It was a hotter
- 16:23Speaker 6: day in ninety some degrees and McDonald screamed and had
- 16:27Speaker 6: his assistance run in and get those guys, about twelve
- 16:29Speaker 6: of them, get them out here, and man, they came
- 16:32Speaker 6: back out like ducks in a row and right out
- 16:35Speaker 6: on the field and McDonald dressed them down in front
- 16:37Speaker 6: of all the fans.
- 16:38Speaker 4: You know how we operate here. We signed autographs for
- 16:41Speaker 4: the fans, We go down the road, we take pictures.
- 16:44Speaker 4: This is what we do. We talked about that where
- 16:46Speaker 4: are you going.
- 16:47Speaker 6: You got ten year veterans like Leonard Williams out here
- 16:49Speaker 6: signing autographs.
- 16:50Speaker 4: Where the hell are you going?
- 16:52Speaker 6: Ripping first round draft picks and bonus babies and all
- 16:55Speaker 6: those dudes and man the rest of the printing camp.
- 16:58Speaker 4: They were there and they've been there day since. That's
- 17:01Speaker 4: the stick. Yet he does things like cancel practice and.
- 17:05Speaker 6: Take them down to Fort Lewis food trucks outside the
- 17:07Speaker 6: building after they went on money.
- 17:09Speaker 4: I know they are rich guys that don't need food trucks,
- 17:10Speaker 4: but the actual factor there's, hey, there's a taco truck
- 17:12Speaker 4: out there because we won yesterday. He does that too.
- 17:15Speaker 6: And a lot of stick guys, especially with a military
- 17:18Speaker 6: background like military I had and Mike McDonald had raised
- 17:21Speaker 6: by his West Point.
- 17:22Speaker 4: Dad, A lot of the stick guys don't have the carrot.
- 17:26Speaker 6: They don't have the nuance, They don't have the personal
- 17:29Speaker 6: touch and the interpersonal skills to do anything but pound.
- 17:33Speaker 4: With a stick.
- 17:34Speaker 6: If I could describe to someone, Mike McDonald's greatest trade
- 17:36Speaker 6: is that he has a stick and a carrot, and
- 17:38Speaker 6: he's perfectly time in using both.
- 17:40Speaker 3: Greg Bella is with US Seahawks Insider, and you know,
- 17:43Speaker 3: the rest of the NFL cities, and I've been on
- 17:46Speaker 3: the interviews and two of them they start the process
- 17:49Speaker 3: of jealousy and tear down and you're not gonna be
- 17:52Speaker 3: able to overcome this, and you're gonna have to pay
- 17:54Speaker 3: your quarterback soon and that all that problem. You're already
- 17:58Speaker 3: losing your offensive coordinator. I mean, yeah, there's an element
- 18:01Speaker 3: of that every offseason to every champion. But this team
- 18:05Speaker 3: doesn't have to increase the pay to its quarterback this year.
- 18:10Speaker 4: They might, well the night, they might give them a
- 18:12Speaker 4: new deal.
- 18:13Speaker 3: Yeah, and they might, and that would be their own choice,
- 18:15Speaker 3: but they're not in a position where, you know, I
- 18:19Speaker 3: don't feel that they're all that vulnerable via free agency.
- 18:23Speaker 3: I've seen it a lot worse, and it just feels
- 18:26Speaker 3: such a repeatable process. Doesn't mean they're going to win
- 18:28Speaker 3: another one, Greg, but man, it does feel like they
- 18:32Speaker 3: have set this up to really do this consistently, at
- 18:36Speaker 3: least challenge for a Super Bowl title.
- 18:38Speaker 6: And that's because of the youth or the third youngest
- 18:40Speaker 6: roster in the NFL by weighted snap average. They have
- 18:43Speaker 6: seventy three million dollars in cap space, which is six
- 18:46Speaker 6: most in the league. Next year, they have a twenty
- 18:49Speaker 6: eight year old quarterback, they under contract for two more years.
- 18:52Speaker 6: They have a thirty eight year old head coach who's
- 18:53Speaker 6: just now starting. Those are all the reasons for what
- 18:56Speaker 6: you just said. But I will say this, this is
- 18:58Speaker 6: the fourth Super Bowl team I've cut as a beat writer.
- 19:02Speaker 6: Every single Super Bowl team thinks they're gonna never lose
- 19:06Speaker 6: this perch and they will always come back. They're right,
- 19:08Speaker 6: and they don't. Yeah, the NFL legislates it that they don't.
- 19:12Speaker 6: Guys want to get paid. The Seahawks have four prime
- 19:15Speaker 6: free agents I wrote about the News Tribute this morning,
- 19:17Speaker 6: including Riek Wolland, who will get paid, whether it's by
- 19:20Speaker 6: the Seahawks or not. Guys want to get paid. Some
- 19:22Speaker 6: guys inherently get a little more complacent, a little less
- 19:25Speaker 6: on the edge that they had coming into this season.
- 19:28Speaker 6: And the league parody with salary cap and the draft
- 19:32Speaker 6: and the schedule. The Seahawks will have a number one
- 19:34Speaker 6: schedule again that next year. All of that legislates against
- 19:38Speaker 6: the Seahawks coming back. Nicki man Worry in San Jose
- 19:40Speaker 6: on Thursday really impressed me when he said we were
- 19:43Speaker 6: talking about his ankle. He's not playing I don't care
- 19:45Speaker 6: it's the Super Bowl. I know, I'm only twenty two
- 19:48Speaker 6: to twenty three years old. I may never get back here.
- 19:50Speaker 6: And it really impressed me that a kid, a rookie
- 19:53Speaker 6: young man twenty two years old, got it that this
- 19:56Speaker 6: is hard to do and you can't expect to be
- 19:58Speaker 6: back at the Super Bowl all the time just because
- 20:00Speaker 6: I got here in my first year. I mean, look
- 20:02Speaker 6: at the history of the Seahawks four times and fifty years,
- 20:06Speaker 6: Daryln Marino, d'Al reno once exactly one time and never
- 20:09Speaker 6: came back.
- 20:10Speaker 4: You think Dan Marino thought I'll be back here.
- 20:12Speaker 3: And we all thought Dan Marino was gonna win done
- 20:15Speaker 3: Super Bowl.
- 20:15Speaker 6: John Schulea thought he was gonna be back with Dan Marino,
- 20:18Speaker 6: the Hall of Fame coach, and he never was. It's
- 20:20Speaker 6: hard to do. And that's what Don said was saying
- 20:22Speaker 6: the other night. So it's my way of selling Seattle
- 20:26Speaker 6: in the Pacific Northwest enjoyed us today.
- 20:28Speaker 4: Because it doesn't happen a lot.
- 20:30Speaker 6: And the fact that we've had two of them here
- 20:32Speaker 6: in Seattle in fact, in twelve years is also rare. Yeah,
- 20:35Speaker 6: there's patriots and there's some dinings for forty nine ers,
- 20:37Speaker 6: and the Steelers have won six rings. But this is
- 20:40Speaker 6: not the norm. Enjoy it and a million people I
- 20:43Speaker 6: think are gonna get that today Downtown.
- 20:45Speaker 3: Here a Seahawks inside of Greg Bell joining us live
- 20:48Speaker 3: here at our set Jimmy so On first getting ready
- 20:50Speaker 3: for parade day. But we're gonna keep Greg for another segment.
- 20:53Speaker 3: We're all not just setting you up for the parade today,
- 20:57Speaker 3: but also doing I think it's appropriate Seawks season in
- 21:00Speaker 3: review as well, so I'll let Greg Way in on
- 21:03Speaker 3: the topic I have scheduled next. Of course, this segment
- 21:06Speaker 3: brought to you all season long by Diamond Collection Prosecco.
- 21:10Speaker 3: So more with Greg and we're gonna talk about the
- 21:13Speaker 3: O line.
- 21:14Speaker 4: Next.
- 21:14Speaker 3: Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM.
- 21:17Speaker 8: Big Bell brought to you by Coppola Diamond Collection Prosecco
- 21:20Speaker 8: Chris Sparkly with bright fruit flavors to make every toast
- 21:24Speaker 8: shine Game Day Bubbles only with Coppola Diamond Prosecco. Now
- 21:29Speaker 8: with twump Man News, here's Greg Bell with Chuck and Bike.
- 21:34Speaker 1: The Patriots have a first down and the part is
- 21:37Speaker 1: ticking it four thirty eight and they trailed twenty two
- 21:40Speaker 1: to seven.
- 21:40Speaker 2: Shot Guns neck, Cody bar Seattle, he's head as he
- 21:43Speaker 2: dropped back the ball three picked up eye, no shoon.
- 21:46Speaker 1: Running down the tie thirty twenty ten five touchdown.
- 21:54Speaker 2: It's picked off of a touchdown. Seattle is stored on
- 21:58Speaker 2: another turnof board, and that we'll seal.
- 22:02Speaker 1: And it seems right now for the Seahawks in Super
- 22:06Speaker 1: Bowl sixty.
- 22:08Speaker 3: Let's put one on the call, Kevin Harlan. The Seahawks
- 22:12Speaker 3: are Super Bowl champions, and we've decided at KJR to
- 22:15Speaker 3: throw parade here today. And so we are in the
- 22:19Speaker 3: midst of it all. I mean, we got people already
- 22:22Speaker 3: lined up to enter the bar here at Jimmy's on First,
- 22:25Speaker 3: are already eating breakfast over there on the restaurant side
- 22:28Speaker 3: of things. Fans have been making their way to loom
- 22:31Speaker 3: and Field all the way from five o'clock this morning.
- 22:35Speaker 3: We arrived at people already here and frenzied and.
- 22:38Speaker 4: Ready to go.
- 22:39Speaker 3: People are ready to act like a champion. And that's
- 22:42Speaker 3: how it works. Once you've won a Super Bowl championship,
- 22:45Speaker 3: everyone's a champion. So go ahead and breathe that championship air,
- 22:49Speaker 3: eat that championship breakfast, and go ahead and have yourself
- 22:54Speaker 3: an early championship, bloody Mary.
- 22:56Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm not gonna lie.
- 22:57Speaker 5: There's a lot of times we're down here and I
- 23:00Speaker 5: don't see I don't see the same type of happiness
- 23:04Speaker 5: walking by.
- 23:05Speaker 3: Uh huh.
- 23:05Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 23:06Speaker 5: I mean there's the shoulders are back, the chest is out.
- 23:09Speaker 5: I mean people are walking tall out there today.
- 23:12Speaker 4: I mean, you do it.
- 23:14Speaker 5: See And I am loving all the old school and
- 23:16Speaker 5: some of the old the new alternative duck jerseys, those
- 23:20Speaker 5: are beautiful. What I'm seeing a lot less.
- 23:22Speaker 3: Of one of those damn truce color, which is wonderful.
- 23:26Speaker 5: I mean, the best looking ones are the retro ones.
- 23:28Speaker 5: There's a canine guy walking by right now.
- 23:31Speaker 4: He's walking like an MVP. Just look at him. Yeah,
- 23:33Speaker 4: look like an MVP, A champion. He's happy to be
- 23:35Speaker 4: out of school.
- 23:36Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly. And Greg Bell is here for two segments today.
- 23:41Speaker 3: Why because he's a champion right here on the set.
- 23:46Speaker 4: I had nothing.
- 23:49Speaker 3: Yeah you know what you.
- 23:50Speaker 4: Did, Yeah you did, Greg.
- 23:51Speaker 3: Take a little credit all those articles you wrote like
- 23:54Speaker 3: a champion, Yeah, I wrote a fiendish champion. Uh well,
- 24:01Speaker 3: we were just sort of doing not just a setup
- 24:03Speaker 3: of the parade, but also a bit of a season
- 24:04Speaker 3: in review. And since we get here for two segments.
- 24:07Speaker 3: I want you to kind of incorporate you into that process.
- 24:10Speaker 3: I had scheduled here to talk about the offensive line.
- 24:13Speaker 3: I did just a quick little bit of research this morning.
- 24:15Speaker 3: Do you know that eight of the last ten years,
- 24:18Speaker 3: the Seahawk quarterback has been sacked in the top four
- 24:22Speaker 3: most times in the National Football League And eight of
- 24:24Speaker 3: the last ten years the top three the Gino Smith
- 24:30Speaker 3: and Russell Wilson. This year, Sam Darnold wasn't even in
- 24:33Speaker 3: the top half, even though he played every game for
- 24:36Speaker 3: this football team. They have tried and tried and tried
- 24:39Speaker 3: to fix this offensive line. I'll ask you, did Gray's
- 24:42Speaker 3: Abel and Mike ben or Mike Menton John Benton make
- 24:45Speaker 3: that big of a difference in this offensive line? Or
- 24:48Speaker 3: was it more Kubiak and Donald being able to get
- 24:50Speaker 3: rid of the football?
- 24:52Speaker 6: No, it was John Benton, Okay and Steve Hutchinson recommending
- 24:56Speaker 6: that they draft Grays Abel Okay and John Benton deciding
- 24:59Speaker 6: the Ja Sindel the athletic faster center would be the center,
- 25:03Speaker 6: and Abe Lucas being healthier. That was a big difference.
- 25:09Speaker 6: That's bookend tackles.
- 25:13Speaker 4: John Benton.
- 25:14Speaker 6: If I could say one move they must make this
- 25:17Speaker 6: offseason to get anywhere close to back to the Super Bowl.
- 25:20Speaker 6: John Benton, as the offensive line coach, the guys told
- 25:24Speaker 6: me through the season of offensive lineman how clear his
- 25:28Speaker 6: coaching is. Last year, Abe Lucas said it perfectly. Last
- 25:31Speaker 6: year they were trying to be masters of everything, a
- 25:33Speaker 6: little bit of inside zone, a little bit outside zone,
- 25:36Speaker 6: gap pool man, drive blocking.
- 25:39Speaker 4: This year they were masters of one.
- 25:41Speaker 6: John Benton got there and Klink Kubiak got there, and
- 25:43Speaker 6: they said, we're going to do outside zone. Every game plan,
- 25:46Speaker 6: every week is going to start with outside zone. We'll
- 25:48Speaker 6: have variations off of that outside zone. Outside. This is
- 25:51Speaker 6: what you need to be good at outside zone. And
- 25:54Speaker 6: they taught the techniques of outside zone over and over
- 25:57Speaker 6: again from May through August, over and over outside and
- 26:01Speaker 6: here are the steps, here are the angles. And Lucas said,
- 26:04Speaker 6: it was so refreshing to just learn one thing, and
- 26:07Speaker 6: instead of having to be masters of everything, he masters
- 26:09Speaker 6: of one thing. And they it clicked immediately. Now, it
- 26:13Speaker 6: didn't click in results in the offense immediately. I mean
- 26:16Speaker 6: they were bottom five in the league and yards per
- 26:19Speaker 6: carry into December, even though they were number one at
- 26:22Speaker 6: the time in rush attemps in percentage of rush plays.
- 26:26Speaker 6: So they got it in December when they had to.
- 26:29Speaker 6: And once they got the run game producing like they
- 26:33Speaker 6: had designed it to, that's when they took off as
- 26:37Speaker 6: a team, because then he could play to his defense.
- 26:40Speaker 4: You saw it again in the Super Bowl.
- 26:41Speaker 6: Fourth and four near midfield, wasn't even a thought they
- 26:44Speaker 6: would go for it. Led Dixon punt yeah down him
- 26:47Speaker 6: at the two yard line, and the Patriots are not
- 26:49Speaker 6: driving the field to score. We'll get the ball back
- 26:51Speaker 6: in scoring positions and score ourselves. The next time, they
- 26:54Speaker 6: did the same thing in Week eighteen to win the
- 26:56Speaker 6: division in Santa Clara, a thirteen to three game, he
- 26:59Speaker 6: only touched down. The game happened after McDonald played to
- 27:02Speaker 6: his defense, punted that forty nine ers onto their goal line,
- 27:05Speaker 6: got a three and out that had a draft start
- 27:07Speaker 6: to plus thirty five, and scored the only touchdown the game.
- 27:09Speaker 6: All of that because the run game finally started, and
- 27:12Speaker 6: once the Seahawks run game started to get him from
- 27:14Speaker 6: the twenty to the fifty and Dixon could punt teams
- 27:17Speaker 6: into a corner against their own goal line, the Seahawks
- 27:20Speaker 6: defense won games. The run game John Benton is absolutely
- 27:26Speaker 6: vital to what they did this year. Even if now
- 27:29Speaker 6: the Kubiak has gone, Benton's still there.
- 27:31Speaker 4: And what I talked to Benton, he's I'm a Seahawks, dammit.
- 27:35Speaker 6: I talked to a few people on Monday after the
- 27:38Speaker 6: game that told me they don't think there's gonna be
- 27:41Speaker 6: much staff turnover beyond Kubiak leaving. And the feeling is
- 27:45Speaker 6: we're not letting Kubiak show up for just one year,
- 27:48Speaker 6: leave and then take all the guys with him after
- 27:51Speaker 6: just being here for one season. He needed to pay
- 27:52Speaker 6: a little more of a penance than one season, a
- 27:54Speaker 6: Super Bowl champions season to take all our assistance.
- 27:57Speaker 4: So I don't expect John leave.
- 28:00Speaker 6: I don't expect Andrew Junoko, the quarterback coach, to leave,
- 28:04Speaker 6: but they am. I haven't been told they're going to
- 28:07Speaker 6: hire from within on the offensive coordinator. That could be
- 28:09Speaker 6: Jake Pets, That could be Andrew Junoko. There are a
- 28:12Speaker 6: couple others on the staff that could be Jake Peats
- 28:14Speaker 6: has some minimal play calling experience. But John Benton, the
- 28:18Speaker 6: offensive line, I would point to him, and Kubiak is
- 28:21Speaker 6: the reason.
- 28:22Speaker 5: For that, understandably. So I mean I'll just speak for myself.
- 28:25Speaker 5: I don't know if he's unsung or if it's just
- 28:27Speaker 5: I didn't give enough credit where credit is due. I mean,
- 28:31Speaker 5: Abe Lucas being back and being healthy and playing every
- 28:34Speaker 5: single game, I'm pretty sure every single snap that he
- 28:37Speaker 5: could have played, it seems like a gigantic boost for
- 28:40Speaker 5: this offensive. I mean, Gray's abel obviously kind of locked
- 28:43Speaker 5: up the interior. Him and Sundell together ended up helping out.
- 28:47Speaker 5: But to me, I mean, was Abe Lucas kind of
- 28:49Speaker 5: an unsung star for this season?
- 28:51Speaker 6: Yeah, he was bucky because this was the first time
- 28:53Speaker 6: in four years that he didn't play broken. He played
- 28:56Speaker 6: on basically one good leg. His first three NFL seasons,
- 28:59Speaker 6: had what Pete Carroll called a chronic knee issue ever
- 29:02Speaker 6: since Washington State.
- 29:04Speaker 4: And then he got it fixed. It took twelve months
- 29:07Speaker 4: he played.
- 29:07Speaker 6: Last year, we've had a nine month mark when he
- 29:09Speaker 6: wasn't nearly ready to play fully, and then this year
- 29:12Speaker 6: he had. Before this season, he had his first full
- 29:14Speaker 6: offseason healthy and it made all the difference. If your
- 29:18Speaker 6: edge guys are hurting a one leg. Look at the
- 29:20Speaker 6: look at the Patriots left tackle in the Super Bowl
- 29:23Speaker 6: who played on a bad left knee, you have one
- 29:25Speaker 6: leg and trying to hold an edge, you're in trouble.
- 29:28Speaker 6: And that was Abe Lucas for three years and he
- 29:31Speaker 6: was healthy fully this year they rewarded him with the extension.
- 29:34Speaker 6: So now they have he and the left tackle Charles
- 29:36Speaker 6: Cross together for at least three years. Look at the
- 29:39Speaker 6: offensive line guys. Charles Cross has signed sucked out one
- 29:42Speaker 6: more years. Gray's ables one year into a four year
- 29:45Speaker 6: rookie deal. Jalen Sondell is on an undrafted rookie contract
- 29:49Speaker 6: at bargain basement price, and you're under club control for
- 29:51Speaker 6: two more years. And your right guard is your one
- 29:55Speaker 6: problem issue that you might address. Anthony Bradford, your right
- 29:58Speaker 6: tackle was under contract for three more years after this one.
- 30:01Speaker 6: They have three years of continuity for sure, with the
- 30:03Speaker 6: opportunity both in salary cap space and draft to improve
- 30:07Speaker 6: the right guard position.
- 30:08Speaker 3: Thirty seconds. How special is Gray's Abel.
- 30:14Speaker 6: He's the best rookie offensive line and I've covered since
- 30:17Speaker 6: Steve Hutchinson.
- 30:18Speaker 4: Wow, he is.
- 30:19Speaker 6: So mature, not just off the field but football wise.
- 30:24Speaker 6: He trash talks nine year All Pro Pro Bowl guys
- 30:28Speaker 6: defensive tackles. He is so technically sound. He gave up
- 30:34Speaker 6: two sacks all year. Sam Donald threw the ball what
- 30:37Speaker 6: four hundred times? He gave up two sacks and four
- 30:40Speaker 6: hundred and they were both in one game against the Rams.
- 30:43Speaker 6: He was better than they thought he was gonna be
- 30:46Speaker 6: and that made the offensive line better.
- 30:48Speaker 3: Greg bell our Seahawks insider, excellent coverage all year long
- 30:51Speaker 3: at the Newstribune dot com, and he's got you covered
- 30:54Speaker 3: again today with the Super Bowl parade. Thank you, sir,
- 30:57Speaker 3: Thanks for a couple of segments with us.
- 30:59Speaker 6: Welcome, Thanks for being down here, and give me some
- 31:01Speaker 6: reason to be down here. Yeah, I'm excited for the city.
- 31:04Speaker 6: I've covered some bad teams in Seattle and elsewhere, and
- 31:08Speaker 6: this is a special event. Seattle public schools just turn
- 31:12Speaker 6: the other way. Teachers, don't worry about it. Let the
- 31:14Speaker 6: kids out. My kids still are upset from being in
- 31:17Speaker 6: second grade and not going to the twenty thirteen teams parade.
- 31:20Speaker 6: They'd still get on my wife about that. Yeah, so
- 31:23Speaker 6: my son's coming today. He got off of work. But yeah,
- 31:25Speaker 6: get down here if you can, because you'll be glad
- 31:27Speaker 6: you did it.
- 31:27Speaker 3: And we are live at Jimmy's on First, so all
- 31:30Speaker 3: day long and they have opened up the bar. The
- 31:32Speaker 3: booze hounds are here. Release the hounds.
- 31:38Speaker 4: See see.
- 31:42Speaker 3: See Ah, Yeah, that's a championship crowd right there.
- 31:48Speaker 4: Winners.
- 31:49Speaker 6: Chuck Channeling is Dave Softy Marbar at seven thirty am.
- 31:53Speaker 3: That's a thing you shouldn't try it.
- 31:55Speaker 4: I was about to say, very risky.
- 31:58Speaker 3: All right, we come back with the not so reckless
- 32:01Speaker 3: at breakfast. Next on Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFMOK.
- 32:06Speaker 7: Six yards to go for their own twenty four brandling
- 32:08Speaker 7: by ten.

- 33:26Speaker 3: f M live from Jimmy's on first. I like the
- 33:29Speaker 3: old school representation. Couple buddies, Earl Thomas, Bobby Wagner's up
- 33:32Speaker 3: in there in their jerseys. We'ven got a loaf of
- 33:35Speaker 3: to Toupu jersey right in front. That's an old school loafa,
- 33:39Speaker 3: your old school. Now you're listening out there, Look at that,
- 33:42Speaker 3: Look at that?
- 33:43Speaker 2: Huh he he knows.
- 33:47Speaker 5: Oh, Jimmy's orn over here. Autograph. Oh jim oh wearing off?
- 33:53Speaker 3: I see, uh so it's here, it's on And I
- 33:57Speaker 3: would just warn you normally this is called reckless at breakfast.
- 34:02Speaker 3: I don't know. Maybe this is I'm a little more
- 34:05Speaker 3: cautious than most human beings, so for once I want
- 34:08Speaker 3: to provide not so reckless at breakfast?
- 34:11Speaker 4: Oh wow?
- 34:12Speaker 3: Okay, and this is for the Seahawk players that are
- 34:14Speaker 3: getting ready to go on this parade today, and I've
- 34:16Speaker 3: already discussed that. I like the strategy of them speaking
- 34:20Speaker 3: before and not when they are thirteen beers in at
- 34:24Speaker 3: the end of the parade route.
- 34:26Speaker 4: I like that.
- 34:27Speaker 3: I think they're already ahead of me. They're not being
- 34:29Speaker 3: reckless at breakfast, and I appreciate that. But just a
- 34:32Speaker 3: couple of other, you know, laws to live by here today,
- 34:35Speaker 3: if any of the Seahawk players are listening and are.
- 34:37Speaker 4: On their way to the parade.
- 34:39Speaker 3: Number one, if you can't dance, go ahead and dance. Okay,
- 34:44Speaker 3: you know, if you're a Seahawk player and you can't dance,
- 34:47Speaker 3: I'm not sure Grey's Abel can dance. He might be
- 34:50Speaker 3: able to barnyard dance, I don't know. But if you
- 34:53Speaker 3: can't dance, go ahead and dance, because guess what, you'll
- 34:57Speaker 3: probably get more love and attention for you dancing. When
- 35:00Speaker 3: you can't dance, then somebody that can dance is dancing.
- 35:06Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, that was a bit of a riddle there,
- 35:08Speaker 4: but I'm I'm with you.
- 35:09Speaker 5: I mean, if all of all days, if you can't
- 35:12Speaker 5: dance today, if you're a you know what, even if
- 35:14Speaker 5: you're a fan, even if you're just sitting there and
- 35:16Speaker 5: all of a sudden you see Grey's Able shaking his
- 35:18Speaker 5: money maker up there, and you're like, that moves you
- 35:21Speaker 5: to shake your money maker.
- 35:22Speaker 4: Do it. Dance like nobody's watching. There's only a million
- 35:25Speaker 4: people around.
- 35:25Speaker 3: I hope you dance and dance.
- 35:29Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 35:29Speaker 3: Mark Madson is famous for one thing. He's the worst
- 35:32Speaker 3: dancer in the world. But at his championship parade with
- 35:35Speaker 3: the Lakers, he danced. So go ahead and dance out there.
- 35:39Speaker 3: Number two, don't throw the Lombardi Trophy under any circumstance.
- 35:44Speaker 3: I know you saw Tom Brady throw it from one
- 35:47Speaker 3: boat to another over a big giant lake of water.
- 35:51Speaker 3: Tom Brady gets away with everything. He's squeaky clean. He's
- 35:54Speaker 3: gotta pact with the devil. Nothing wrong's going to happen
- 35:58Speaker 3: to Tom Brady. But you don't want to be lesser
- 36:01Speaker 3: than Tom Brady and be the guy that threw the
- 36:04Speaker 3: Lombardi trophy and it shattered, you know, against Jimmy's on first.
- 36:09Speaker 3: You know, don't be that guy here today. Don't throw
- 36:13Speaker 3: the Lombardi.
- 36:14Speaker 5: See I'm gonna say that's one where maybe gray' zabel
- 36:17Speaker 5: doesn't be on the receiving end of it.
- 36:18Speaker 4: I'm okay.
- 36:19Speaker 5: If Sam Darner wants to toss it to JSN or
- 36:22Speaker 5: Cooper Cup, it's not touching the ground.
- 36:25Speaker 2: And if it doesn't, just barely, just barely touch.
- 36:27Speaker 5: The ground like Cooper cups catch not catch in the supermow.
- 36:30Speaker 3: Sam had a lot of interception problems this year, Bucky,
- 36:34Speaker 3: that's true.
- 36:35Speaker 2: I don't know if you know.
- 36:36Speaker 3: That true issue.
- 36:38Speaker 5: Yeah, there was plenty of balls that didn't touch the ground.
- 36:42Speaker 4: I don't know.
- 36:42Speaker 5: How about just having some fun, live a little bit,
- 36:44Speaker 5: dance and throw the trophy.
- 36:46Speaker 3: Keep your pants up? Oh, nothing's good gonna come from
- 36:50Speaker 3: being around a million people and something happens with your
- 36:53Speaker 3: pants down. You know, well, just keep your pants up.
- 36:55Speaker 3: If you're a Seahawk player, if there's a as, there's
- 36:58Speaker 3: a twelve out there, the ones drop his pants, you
- 37:01Speaker 3: do what you want to do.
- 37:02Speaker 4: Uh.
- 37:03Speaker 3: But if you're a player, you don't want that haunting
- 37:05Speaker 3: you for the rest of your life. Keep your pants
- 37:07Speaker 3: up and.
- 37:08Speaker 4: I'm gonna go with you on that one.
- 37:09Speaker 5: As a matter of fact, even you million twelves that
- 37:11Speaker 5: are gonna be out here, nobody wants to see that.
- 37:13Speaker 5: There's children that are not going to school to come
- 37:16Speaker 5: here and witness this. Nobody wants to see you with
- 37:18Speaker 5: your pants down.
- 37:19Speaker 3: Remember that everyone has a camera. Let me stress that
- 37:23Speaker 3: everyone has a camera. They carry it around with him
- 37:28Speaker 3: at all times. So don't think that you can just
- 37:30Speaker 3: slink off to some corner and pass out in the
- 37:32Speaker 3: middle of the street. Somebody's gonna record you doing that.
- 37:36Speaker 3: So all Seahawk players, coaches, staff members, remember everyone has
- 37:41Speaker 3: a camera. Yeah, don't be a meme. You don't want
- 37:44Speaker 3: to be a meme today, folks. And also you want
- 37:46Speaker 3: to remember the parade.
- 37:48Speaker 2: Yeah?
- 37:49Speaker 3: Agree, And that gets me to another one. Drink and
- 37:52Speaker 3: drink heavily, but stop drinking before you just end up
- 37:55Speaker 3: lying down in the middle of the street or peeing
- 37:59Speaker 3: yourself in public.
- 38:02Speaker 5: Yeah, or just even peen in public. But peeing yourself
- 38:06Speaker 5: in public is worse.
- 38:09Speaker 3: Don't say anything political, but just avoid it.
- 38:13Speaker 4: Today is not a day.
- 38:15Speaker 3: It's about being a champion.
- 38:16Speaker 4: Tip.
- 38:16Speaker 5: That's right, Twelves you just were all as one, twelve
- 38:18Speaker 5: is one, one million is one today.
- 38:21Speaker 3: And end up on Sports Center today, But don't end
- 38:25Speaker 3: up on the NBC Nightly News. That would be my
- 38:28Speaker 3: last piece of advice for you. You end up on
- 38:31Speaker 3: Sports Center, You've done something fun, memorable, end up on
