- 0:00Speaker 1: Used in a sentence. Matt Hasselbeck has now officially a
- 0:04Speaker 1: friend of the program. He has now visited so frequently
- 0:09Speaker 1: to our homes and hearts, our radio homes and hearts.
- 0:12Speaker 1: He is now a friend of Chucking Buck in the Morning,
- 0:15Speaker 1: which means Matt that if we call you for a
- 0:17Speaker 1: ride to the airport or to help us move, you
- 0:20Speaker 1: have to accept.
- 0:22Speaker 2: Man. I thought I was already a friend, and I
- 0:24Speaker 2: thought this took us out of the friend zone, you
- 0:27Speaker 2: know what I mean, you know, in like a relationship,
- 0:28Speaker 2: like you're in the friend zone. I thought we kind
- 0:31Speaker 2: of like took the next step. I thought we were
- 0:33Speaker 2: going to have a DTR talk, determine the relationship talk.
- 0:38Speaker 2: All right, I guess we're still friends. I guess I
- 0:40Speaker 2: know what that feels like.
- 0:41Speaker 1: Now, Well, maybe we're best friends. But at best friends.
- 0:45Speaker 1: Then you got to help us get out of a
- 0:47Speaker 1: criminal situation, right, That's what best friends do.
- 0:49Speaker 3: So be careful what you wish for, Matt.
- 0:55Speaker 1: Well, take us through a day in the life of
- 0:58Speaker 1: NFC Conference Championship game. Former Seahawks quarterback Matt Hasselback flies
- 1:04Speaker 1: into his favorite city, Seattle, Washington, spends a day at
- 1:07Speaker 1: Looming Field, raises flags with owners and everything else. Take
- 1:11Speaker 1: us through just what that experience was like from your perspective.
- 1:15Speaker 2: Man, it's incredible. I'm like, I don't have my voice,
- 1:17Speaker 2: so I apologize. It's still gone from the game. Just
- 1:20Speaker 2: got home last night after many flight cancellations. But you know,
- 1:23Speaker 2: I came in, came in for the game, came in
- 1:25Speaker 2: the night before, went to the game with my brother
- 1:27Speaker 2: who lives up in Edmonds, and just kind of had
- 1:30Speaker 2: a unique experience. We walked from my hotel down to
- 1:34Speaker 2: down to the game and walked past all the tailgating,
- 1:37Speaker 2: all the bars, all the stuff I had never seen before.
- 1:40Speaker 2: You know, I'm used to getting to the stadium hours
- 1:42Speaker 2: and hours and hours beforehand, but you know, just seeing
- 1:45Speaker 2: everybody in their jersey and then having fun and the
- 1:48Speaker 2: music and the sights and the smells and all that,
- 1:50Speaker 2: and you know, got kind of like an escort straight
- 1:53Speaker 2: onto the field. Otherwise I would have no idea how
- 1:56Speaker 2: to get down there. Saw a lot of like old
- 1:58Speaker 2: teammates and friends and fans, and it was it was unbelievable.
- 2:02Speaker 2: It was just like the energy and the excitement. It
- 2:04Speaker 2: was NFC Championship, Like it felt like it and you know,
- 2:09Speaker 2: my myself, Michael Bennett, Cliff Evral, we go up to
- 2:12Speaker 2: the you know, the twelve flag. It's a big surprise.
- 2:15Speaker 2: Who's gonna raise the flag? Jody Allen was raising it
- 2:19Speaker 2: the only choice in my in my opinion, because of
- 2:22Speaker 2: you know what it meant to us when Paul Allen
- 2:25Speaker 2: raised it for the first time we host hosted an
- 2:27Speaker 2: NFC championship game. And like, from that moment on, it's
- 2:31Speaker 2: like just like all a blur. Like it was like
- 2:33Speaker 2: someone will be like, oh, remember when you were whatever
- 2:36Speaker 2: high five and Chris Pratt after that play. I'm like,
- 2:38Speaker 2: oh yeah, Chris Pratt was I forgot about that. Like
- 2:41Speaker 2: it was like all these epic Oh you remember when
- 2:43Speaker 2: Sam Darnold did that, you know, oh yeah, I remember that.
- 2:46Speaker 2: But it's just like all a blur. And it's an amazing,
- 2:49Speaker 2: amazing night, amazing game, amazing weekend, and you know, I
- 2:54Speaker 2: hopefully we kind of have these like little memories that
- 2:56Speaker 2: come back, you know, for the next two weeks where
- 2:59Speaker 2: we just to recall all the great stuff that it
- 3:02Speaker 2: was hosting that game.
- 3:03Speaker 1: I love for the second there, you were a freaking
- 3:05Speaker 1: guardian of the galaxy.
- 3:07Speaker 3: I love that.
- 3:09Speaker 2: You know, I was more of the parks and rec fan,
- 3:11Speaker 2: and that's what my wife said. She was like naming
- 3:13Speaker 2: all these marvel you know, situations, and I was just like, okay,
- 3:17Speaker 2: you know, but it was hilarious because like the Seahawks
- 3:19Speaker 2: kind of hosted us in a suite or whatever, and
- 3:22Speaker 2: my brother's like looking at this guy on the other
- 3:24Speaker 2: side of us, and he's like, oh my gosh, dude,
- 3:26Speaker 2: that dude looks just like Tucker Wetmore. I'm like, oh
- 3:29Speaker 2: the singer. I'm like, oh yeah, I love his music.
- 3:31Speaker 2: I don't know what he looks like, though, whatever, like
- 3:33Speaker 2: blah blah blah. His first quarter goes on, second quarters,
- 3:36Speaker 2: goes on, halftime comes down. The dude that was just
- 3:39Speaker 2: sitting next to us is now singing for like the
- 3:41Speaker 2: halftime performance. We're like, oh my gosh, that was Tucker Wetmore,
- 3:45Speaker 2: Like what you know. It's like it was like all
- 3:47Speaker 2: these like random things that just kind of happened throughout
- 3:49Speaker 2: the game, but none bigger than the game. Like the
- 3:53Speaker 2: game was just I just thought it was an incredible
- 3:55Speaker 2: performance by both quarterbacks, all the wide receivers. He was
- 3:58Speaker 2: gonna come down to some something, you know, one play here,
- 4:01Speaker 2: one play there, an unsung hero that here, an unsung
- 4:04Speaker 2: Euro there, and that's exactly what happened.
- 4:07Speaker 4: Yeah, well, I mean now having a few days to
- 4:09Speaker 4: kind of let it sink in a little bit, Matt,
- 4:11Speaker 4: I'm wondering when when you're thinking about a game that
- 4:14Speaker 4: is this big, right when you got the super Bowl
- 4:17Speaker 4: on the line, it does feel like there's more hanging
- 4:19Speaker 4: in the balance of every single play.
- 4:21Speaker 3: But what were the big plays to you?
- 4:23Speaker 4: Or was there one in particular like that one if
- 4:26Speaker 4: it goes differently, maybe doesn't work out the same way
- 4:28Speaker 4: for the Seahawks.
- 4:30Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 4:30Speaker 2: I think in every game you can point to about
- 4:32Speaker 2: five plays that if we just make this play, we
- 4:34Speaker 2: win the game. If we didn't make that play, we
- 4:36Speaker 2: lose the game. And you know, the one in particular
- 4:40Speaker 2: for me was just the sequence of where, you know,
- 4:43Speaker 2: I think we might have gone three and out, but
- 4:45Speaker 2: we struggled offensively, and then we have the great punt
- 4:49Speaker 2: it's hard to handle and Derek Young recovers the punt,
- 4:53Speaker 2: and then like three plays later, like shortly thereafter, it's
- 4:57Speaker 2: Jake Bobo like obviously a touchdown. You know, like that
- 5:01Speaker 2: that sequence because as great of a win as this is.
- 5:05Speaker 2: It would have been equally and maybe even more of
- 5:07Speaker 2: a like a brutal loss if Sam Donald and company
- 5:10Speaker 2: hadn't been able to get it done. And you know,
- 5:13Speaker 2: everyone would have just piled on Sam Donald. And instead
- 5:16Speaker 2: he was as calm and as cool as like he
- 5:19Speaker 2: could have been. You know, we get a sudden change,
- 5:21Speaker 2: we're in the red zone. We go with a play action,
- 5:23Speaker 2: they bring a corner blitz, they double JSN and he
- 5:27Speaker 2: doesn't even flinch, he doesn't even blink. He's got a
- 5:30Speaker 2: dude in his face. And he throws this perfect I
- 5:32Speaker 2: call it a goal post throw. It gets up high
- 5:35Speaker 2: enough to go through a goal post and gets down
- 5:37Speaker 2: quick enough like a fastball right down the middle to
- 5:40Speaker 2: Jake Bobo, who runs a great route like total afterthought
- 5:43Speaker 2: in the passing game this year, and he was ready
- 5:46Speaker 2: to make the play. So those two young receivers coming
- 5:49Speaker 2: through and Sam just making it look easy, and then
- 5:53Speaker 2: in a sense like right there, like I just think
- 5:55Speaker 2: that was a major turning point in the game.
- 5:57Speaker 1: Number eight at eight Matt Hasselbeck with us here on
- 6:00Speaker 1: Tucking Buck in the morning. Sports Radio ninety three point
- 6:02Speaker 1: three KJRFM Fast becoming Best friends with Matt Hasselbeck, and
- 6:07Speaker 1: as we discussed the Seahawks moving on to the Super Bowl,
- 6:10Speaker 1: what was your opinion about Sam Darnold the day that
- 6:13Speaker 1: he signed with the Seahawks and what is your opinion
- 6:16Speaker 1: about him today.
- 6:19Speaker 2: He had a great year last year. I was really
- 6:21Speaker 2: impressed with his year last year. I was really surprised
- 6:23Speaker 2: the Minnesota Vikings chose to chose not to sign him back.
- 6:27Speaker 2: I was really shocked. And when he signed here, he
- 6:30Speaker 2: signed for a huge contract. They you know, they said
- 6:32Speaker 2: goodbye to a bunch of people here, said goodbye to
- 6:34Speaker 2: Gino Smith. And I said, you know, I really thought
- 6:37Speaker 2: this was a good idea. It's a really good idea.
- 6:39Speaker 2: Is a good young quarterback that has some scars from
- 6:41Speaker 2: the past. You don't have to go through the growing
- 6:44Speaker 2: pains with him because he's already gone through those growing pains.
- 6:47Speaker 2: But I really felt like he was going to need
- 6:49Speaker 2: to do it consistently what she'd been doing in Minnesota,
- 6:53Speaker 2: but he was gonna need to do it in a
- 6:54Speaker 2: playoff game, in a playoff atmosphere in order to kind
- 6:59Speaker 2: of quiet they hate that still look at him like
- 7:01Speaker 2: he's Sam Darnold, the rookie that played for the Jets
- 7:04Speaker 2: and he got the opportunity, and I just think I
- 7:08Speaker 2: think he's answered it. Like I think he's answered all
- 7:10Speaker 2: those questions. I think he's quieted all those you know,
- 7:12Speaker 2: people in New York that just like, oh, yeah, I
- 7:14Speaker 2: know him, you know, Like, no, you don't know him.
- 7:16Speaker 2: You don't know him. You know, this is a guy
- 7:18Speaker 2: that's improved. He's with a play caller that he really
- 7:21Speaker 2: jives with. And if we can keep play caller quarterback together,
- 7:27Speaker 2: obviously we've got GM head coach, you know, if you
- 7:30Speaker 2: kind of get that little I call it a triad
- 7:32Speaker 2: GM head coach quarterback. But I think what's really important
- 7:35Speaker 2: is you keep this quarterback in this system with this guy.
- 7:40Speaker 2: You know, I think the Seahawk can be really, really
- 7:41Speaker 2: good for a long time.
- 7:43Speaker 1: I'm with you.
- 7:44Speaker 4: I mean, the idea of him doing what he's done
- 7:45Speaker 4: this year, in the first year with Clint Kubiak, in
- 7:49Speaker 4: first year as a Seahawk, after first year with the
- 7:52Speaker 4: Minnesota Vikings, I think is commendable and it's something that
- 7:55Speaker 4: you could probably understand far more. I mean, how difficult
- 7:58Speaker 4: is it? How much more credit do you give him
- 8:00Speaker 4: as a former quarterback considering he's doing this and it's
- 8:04Speaker 4: not the third year in the same system or fourth
- 8:06Speaker 4: year in the same system with that triad that you're
- 8:09Speaker 4: talking about.
- 8:10Speaker 2: Well, I give John Schneider and Mike McDonald a lot
- 8:13Speaker 2: of credit because it's you know, it's a different team,
- 8:17Speaker 2: but it kind of is the same playbook. You know,
- 8:19Speaker 2: this is the forty nine Ers playbook that Kyle Shanahan
- 8:22Speaker 2: was running when Klink Kubiak was an assistant coach and
- 8:26Speaker 2: Sam Darnold was a backup quarterback. And then he loves
- 8:29Speaker 2: that system so much and he loves how they teach
- 8:32Speaker 2: it and the lens that they teach it through that
- 8:34Speaker 2: he goes to Minnesota to be a backup, you know,
- 8:37Speaker 2: for their first round pick quarterback, but he wants to
- 8:40Speaker 2: you know, play under in that system under Kevin O'Connell,
- 8:43Speaker 2: you know, another guy that's kind of a Shanahan McVeigh
- 8:46Speaker 2: type guy. And then he realizes like, hey, you know,
- 8:49Speaker 2: like that this is important. I love this, This is
- 8:51Speaker 2: my favorite system, my favorite offense. Who else is running
- 8:55Speaker 2: that system? Well, it wasn't the Seahawks and Ryan Grubb
- 8:58Speaker 2: at the time, but all of a sudden, it was
- 9:00Speaker 2: the Seahawks and Clint Kubiak, who he had a relationship with,
- 9:03Speaker 2: already helped him. You know, Clint kubiac helped the Seahawks
- 9:07Speaker 2: recruit Sam to Seattle because he was a free agent,
- 9:10Speaker 2: could have gone anywhere. And so now he's back in
- 9:13Speaker 2: that system that suits him so well with a guy
- 9:16Speaker 2: that you know he's got a pre existing relationship with.
- 9:19Speaker 2: When when you know, once upon a time, it was
- 9:21Speaker 2: you know, Shanahan and Purdy were like the guys, and
- 9:24Speaker 2: those were the sort of the backup to the guys.
- 9:27Speaker 2: Now they're the guys, and so like, I just think,
- 9:30Speaker 2: like putting your staff together, recruiting your players, your quarterback,
- 9:35Speaker 2: you know, someone upstairs gets the credit for that, and
- 9:38Speaker 2: I got to think it's John Schneider, and it's Mike McDonald,
- 9:41Speaker 2: and you know, it's it's kind of a match made
- 9:43Speaker 2: in heaven.
- 9:44Speaker 1: Matt Hasselbeck is with us here on the program. Have
- 9:48Speaker 1: you did you ever play with a receiver as smooth
- 9:50Speaker 1: as Jsn? I mean, he's like he's the Scotch. I
- 9:54Speaker 1: can't afford that's how smooth he is.
- 9:57Speaker 2: I like that he's that. I'm has anybody played with
- 10:01Speaker 2: anybody like Jasn? I don't know, you know, like some
- 10:05Speaker 2: people ask me to do a like, hey, who does
- 10:08Speaker 2: he remind you of? Who is he? Like give us
- 10:10Speaker 2: a comp And it's almost disrespectful to his game because
- 10:13Speaker 2: he's so he's so so much of a unicorn, Like
- 10:16Speaker 2: he's just, uh, you know, he's got the smoothness of
- 10:19Speaker 2: a Terry Glenn if you remember that name. And he's
- 10:23Speaker 2: just effortless though, and I think he's so confident, he's patient.
- 10:28Speaker 2: That one handed catch on the sideline was like happened
- 10:30Speaker 2: right in front of me, and it was, uh, I mean,
- 10:33Speaker 2: it's like, I don't think it's a play I'll ever forget.
- 10:36Speaker 2: It was just incredible, and uh, it was such an
- 10:39Speaker 2: important play too, so to go one handed like that
- 10:42Speaker 2: reminded me of a touchdown pass I threw to Jerry
- 10:44Speaker 2: Rice against the Jets one time. It was a running play.
- 10:47Speaker 2: I audibled. Mike Lnkran hated when I audibled I audibled
- 10:50Speaker 2: to a pass. I'm like, dude, I'm teammates with Jerry Rice.
- 10:53Speaker 2: He's one on one, like, come on, let's just let's
- 10:55Speaker 2: give it a run. And it wasn't that open, but
- 10:59Speaker 2: it was an amazing like one handed catch, and it
- 11:04Speaker 2: reminded me so much of the catch that JSN had.
- 11:07Speaker 2: There's only like maybe a handful of people on the
- 11:09Speaker 2: planet that would choose to try that way to catch
- 11:12Speaker 2: the ball in that kind of a moment and do
- 11:15Speaker 2: it with such you know, no effort, just so confident
- 11:19Speaker 2: he's got that infactor.
- 11:21Speaker 4: Any concerns going into the Super Bowl about the defense,
- 11:24Speaker 4: I mean, I don't necessarily and I just kind of
- 11:27Speaker 4: chalk up, Yeah, you give up twenty seven points because
- 11:29Speaker 4: that's Sean McVay and Matt Stafford and the Rams have
- 11:32Speaker 4: some serious potency when it comes to their offense. But
- 11:36Speaker 4: they didn't get a lot of pressure on them. They
- 11:37Speaker 4: didn't do the things that I was thinking would be
- 11:40Speaker 4: important as far as getting a lot of pressure on
- 11:43Speaker 4: Matt Stafford with that front four so where they could
- 11:45Speaker 4: hold it down. I was thinking it was gonna be
- 11:47Speaker 4: far more low scoring, and yet it didn't really matter.
- 11:50Speaker 4: The Seahawks offense answered the bell and did enough. But
- 11:53Speaker 4: is there any concerns that you saw or was it
- 11:55Speaker 4: one you just chalk up because that's a good offense.
- 11:58Speaker 2: Well, it's a great wide receiver matchup in that game,
- 12:00Speaker 2: you know, Poka Nakua and Davante Adams and Cooper Cup
- 12:04Speaker 2: and Rashi Hi Heat and JSN like you. It almost
- 12:08Speaker 2: helped the Seahawks offense to play a great offense like
- 12:11Speaker 2: the Rams because the training wheels were off. We're not
- 12:13Speaker 2: playing not to lose. We're cutting it loose. We're like, hey,
- 12:17Speaker 2: you get a one on one ticket. You know you
- 12:19Speaker 2: saw it on the first third and five with Rashi
- 12:21Speaker 2: Chi Heat. It's like they left in one on one.
- 12:22Speaker 2: It's like, dude, green light, you got it, three to
- 12:25Speaker 2: zero pitch swing, We're good. You know that was the mindset.
- 12:28Speaker 2: I don't know that that needs to be the mindset
- 12:30Speaker 2: against the Patriots, but they're still dangerous. Like they they've
- 12:34Speaker 2: got a collection of wide receivers that are a problem
- 12:39Speaker 2: if you don't have talent in the back end yourself.
- 12:41Speaker 2: I think the Seahawks have some talent, you know. Stefan
- 12:44Speaker 2: Diggs is the name that everybody knows. But the Patriots
- 12:48Speaker 2: have a lot of guys. Matt Collins they got from Buffalo,
- 12:51Speaker 2: Kyle Williams the third round pick, and I think he's
- 12:53Speaker 2: from Washington State. You know, There's some guys. Pop Douglas is.
- 12:57Speaker 2: They're kind of like their slot Julian Edelman type guy.
- 12:59Speaker 2: They got some guys, so you know it's not gonna
- 13:02Speaker 2: be Drake Young. You know, he was gonna probably finish
- 13:04Speaker 2: second place for the MVP behind Matthew Stafford Hunter. Henry's
- 13:08Speaker 2: a great tight end for this team. You know, the
- 13:11Speaker 2: Rams tight ends were pretty productive in all the matchups,
- 13:14Speaker 2: So no, they're gonna have their hands fuld. Patriots are
- 13:16Speaker 2: a good team, and you know this is a great defense,
- 13:20Speaker 2: but you were you know, I would say the thing
- 13:22Speaker 2: that concerns me the most is Drake May and his
- 13:25Speaker 2: scrambling ability. I think if there is a kryptonite for
- 13:28Speaker 2: this Seahawks team that I've seen this season, it's been
- 13:30Speaker 2: letting mobile quarterbacks get loose down the field, and that's
- 13:34Speaker 2: something that I think needs to be a priority.
- 13:36Speaker 1: I don't mean to make matt Hassebek misty here, but
- 13:39Speaker 1: Patriots versus Seahawks. Your father just passed away recently, former Patriot.
- 13:44Speaker 1: Do you think this is like him speaking to you that,
- 13:48Speaker 1: you know the year after that it's your team against
- 13:51Speaker 1: his team in the super Bowl.
- 13:52Speaker 2: Here it is. It is really cool for our family,
- 13:56Speaker 2: and especially because I mean, no one expected that the
- 14:00Speaker 2: Seahawks weren't a playoff team last year, you know, even
- 14:03Speaker 2: more so, the Patriots won four games last year. They
- 14:05Speaker 2: won four games the year before, they fired their head coach,
- 14:09Speaker 2: their cleaning house, they cut every single one of their captains.
- 14:12Speaker 2: They started over. They're like, you know what, let's go
- 14:14Speaker 2: with a rookie kicker, rookies long snapper. Like when you
- 14:17Speaker 2: do that, you're banking on not playing in any big
- 14:20Speaker 2: games typically, and so for the Patriots to be in
- 14:24Speaker 2: this game, it's, uh, it's really cool for my family,
- 14:29Speaker 2: you know. I think the only negative is that, you know,
- 14:31Speaker 2: most of us, a lot of us are living in
- 14:32Speaker 2: Boston catching a flight. Like the price, the prices on
- 14:36Speaker 2: flights just like went through the roof. But maybe even
- 14:39Speaker 2: more brutal is like knowing that you would have to
- 14:42Speaker 2: fly with Patriot fans all the way to the West coast.
- 14:46Speaker 2: If I'm allowed to say that, A kind of guy
- 14:48Speaker 2: like you know, looking over my should yeah behind you, Matt,
- 14:57Speaker 2: But yeah, no, it's it's super cool. My old team agains,
- 15:00Speaker 2: it's my dad's old team. It's uh yeah, it's really
- 15:02Speaker 2: it's really neat.
- 15:03Speaker 1: Be careful starting your car, speaking of Patriots, your reaction
- 15:07Speaker 1: to Bill Belichick not getting into the Hall of Fame yesterday.
- 15:10Speaker 3: What are we doing?
- 15:12Speaker 2: Like, what are we doing? You have two options. You
- 15:14Speaker 2: can rename it Hall of Shame because shame on you,
- 15:18Speaker 2: or like abolish it, get rid of it. I actually
- 15:21Speaker 2: was thinking about this today. I was brushing my teeth
- 15:23Speaker 2: and I was like, I don't know why it bothered
- 15:24Speaker 2: me so much, but like I'm thinking, like Bill Belichick
- 15:28Speaker 2: could literally say, you know what, I'm good, don't don't
- 15:32Speaker 2: ever put me in. In fact, I'm gonna start my
- 15:35Speaker 2: own Hall of Fame. Okay, like I know enough. Maybe
- 15:38Speaker 2: I'll get some guys to help me or whatever, but
- 15:40Speaker 2: like I'm gonna start over and I'm gonna do my
- 15:43Speaker 2: own hall of Fame like that. That's like i'd be.
- 15:46Speaker 2: I'd be behind that. I'd be like, dude, go for it,
- 15:49Speaker 2: do your own. Yeah, that's a It kind of reminds
- 15:52Speaker 2: me of this. Like at the Combine, they measure hand
- 15:54Speaker 2: size for a quarterback and Joe Burrows was like the
- 15:57Speaker 2: worst at like the smallest hands. Ever, well, he's obviously
- 16:00Speaker 2: a great quarterback. Like so I think we're measuring the
- 16:02Speaker 2: wrong thing. And so like Will Campbell, the left tackle
- 16:05Speaker 2: for the Patriots. He's had this amazing year. The first
- 16:07Speaker 2: round pick, people weren't going to draft him because they
- 16:09Speaker 2: measured his arms at the combine and his arms were
- 16:12Speaker 2: too short, they said. And Vrabel was like, I passed
- 16:15Speaker 2: rushed against dudes all the time, never cared how long
- 16:17Speaker 2: their arms were. It's not about that. So kind of
- 16:20Speaker 2: think with the Hall of Fame in their criteria, however
- 16:23Speaker 2: they're measuring it, you're measuring the wrong thing. Like if
- 16:26Speaker 2: Bill Belichick doesn't come out automatic like like so anyway,
- 16:32Speaker 2: I don't know why I'm bothered by it, but yeah,
- 16:34Speaker 2: it's crazy. I think the only way they could make
- 16:36Speaker 2: it right is if they renamed it the Bill Belichick
- 16:40Speaker 2: Hall of Fame when he goes in, because it's just ridiculous.
- 16:43Speaker 1: The yellowjacket now has Bill's face on it from now on,
- 16:46Speaker 1: just something like that. I mean, I think the criteria
- 16:50Speaker 1: are fine. I think the problem is that the individuals
- 16:53Speaker 1: voting have these personal agendas and they think that it's
- 16:56Speaker 1: their job to impart their own brand of justice on
- 16:59Speaker 1: the process. And so I'm I'm going to punish you
- 17:02Speaker 1: for this, or you have to wait because that guy waited.
- 17:06Speaker 1: Is he a Hall of Famer or not, And that
- 17:08Speaker 1: question is very obvious with Bill Bellich.
- 17:10Speaker 2: Well, yeah, Mike, Mike Sando, formerly of the Tacoma News Tribune,
- 17:15Speaker 2: never heard of him. He wrote a good thing about
- 17:19Speaker 2: how in twenty twenty, Dion Sanders, I think it was
- 17:22Speaker 2: Deon Sanders complained that too many people were getting in
- 17:25Speaker 2: and so they changed sort of the voting method. So
- 17:28Speaker 2: it is a little bit unique of how they do it.
- 17:32Speaker 2: But that's kind of what I'm saying, is like whatever
- 17:34Speaker 2: you're doing, it's wrong. Like I don't even care, like
- 17:37Speaker 2: whatever your algorithm is or your your vote casting system is.
- 17:42Speaker 2: If he doesn't come out as a first ballot Hall
- 17:44Speaker 2: of Famer, then it's like the Joe burrow Hands thing.
- 17:46Speaker 2: It's like, get that out of here. It's a waste
- 17:48Speaker 2: of everybody's time.
- 17:50Speaker 1: So when are you an Affleck and Damon and all
- 17:52Speaker 1: the Patriot people flying in for the Super Bowl then
- 17:57Speaker 1: next week.
- 18:00Speaker 2: Coming in Sunday. Actually, my daughter, my daughter actually covers
- 18:04Speaker 2: this is crazy too, Like you know you mentioned my dad.
- 18:06Speaker 2: So my daughter covers the Patriots on a show called
- 18:09Speaker 2: Foxborough Rush here in Boston for Nessen. But she also
- 18:13Speaker 2: has a show called The Seahawks collective on YouTube that
- 18:15Speaker 2: she covers the Seahawks, so like these are literally like
- 18:18Speaker 2: her two teams, and she works for Sports Spectrum, so
- 18:20Speaker 2: she was gonna be there anyway. So we're either gonna
- 18:23Speaker 2: have to clone her or I'm gonna have to be
- 18:24Speaker 2: her intern. I don't know how she's gonna get to
- 18:26Speaker 2: do it all, but I'm there Sunday through Monday and
- 18:29Speaker 2: there the whole week. O hopefully I get to see.
- 18:31Speaker 3: You guys in person. Yeah.
- 18:33Speaker 2: The only time that's like sacred to me is my
- 18:35Speaker 2: middle daughter. She's at Stanford and they open their season
- 18:39Speaker 2: Saturday before the Super Bowl, So I'm going to that
- 18:41Speaker 2: game regardless. But other than that, this is uh. I's
- 18:45Speaker 2: gonna try to stay out of trouble and not getting
- 18:47Speaker 2: in any fights, and you know, it's just cheer on
- 18:50Speaker 2: my team.
- 18:51Speaker 1: The Hasselbeck Bowl coming up here in eleven days. I
- 18:54Speaker 1: just want to say that, just personally, Bucky fixed my
- 18:57Speaker 1: camera during the course of the week, every zoom call
- 19:01Speaker 1: that we've been on with Matt, I've been at the
- 19:03Speaker 1: very bottom of the screen and I just it's now fixed,
- 19:07Speaker 1: And I just want to know, how tall did you
- 19:09Speaker 1: think I was prior to seeing me today four foot eight,
- 19:12Speaker 1: four foot nine, did you think I was door fun seahawks? What? What?
- 19:17Speaker 3: What were you thinking?
- 19:18Speaker 2: Truthfully, I just was wondering how many phone booths or
- 19:22Speaker 2: phone books you're sitting on today? Actually I didn't until
- 19:28Speaker 2: you mentioned that. I just thought you were, you know,
- 19:31Speaker 2: doing that. It is the thing on TV.
- 19:33Speaker 3: Like I've worked with.
- 19:34Speaker 2: Some like really short play by play people or whatever,
- 19:37Speaker 2: and they'll stand on boxes to do hits just so
- 19:41Speaker 2: they look a little bit closer.
- 19:43Speaker 3: You know.
- 19:44Speaker 2: I don't care, it doesn't matter me, but I.
- 19:46Speaker 1: Could have surprised you next week at the super Bowl.
- 19:48Speaker 1: You're like, Wow, you're six foot one. How did that happen?
- 19:51Speaker 1: Like I could have.
- 19:52Speaker 2: Well, we were we started. Yeah, we talked about like
- 19:55Speaker 2: in the friend zone, you know what I mean. It's
- 19:57Speaker 2: like I kind of feel like this is like an
- 19:58Speaker 2: online dating profile and then we need in person and
- 20:01Speaker 2: then it's just like, wow, who's this guy?
- 20:04Speaker 3: Not what your profile said?
- 20:06Speaker 1: I can't fish you all right, man, thank you, we
- 20:09Speaker 1: appreciate it. Can't wait to see you next week.
- 20:12Speaker 2: It would be awesome. Thank you? All right?

- 20:33Speaker 1: if you give her the chance. She's going to be
- 20:36Speaker 1: performing at tu Lalup Resort Casino the orc A Ballroom
- 20:40Speaker 1: coming up on February twenty six, less than a month away.
- 20:44Speaker 1: Just one of the many things you can do at
- 20:46Speaker 1: Talalup Resort Casino. You can gamble, you can go to shows,
- 20:50Speaker 1: you can eat, you can drink, you can stay overnight
- 20:53Speaker 1: at the place. I mean, it really is your one
- 20:56Speaker 1: stop entertainment shop.
- 20:58Speaker 4: Yeah, and I mean I'm glad that we're endorsing them
- 21:01Speaker 4: and trying to help them a little bit. They have
- 21:03Speaker 4: no idea though, that they have opened up Pandora's Box.
- 21:07Speaker 4: Because I'm going to go there and I'm going to
- 21:09Speaker 4: stay in their hotel, and I'm probably going to give
- 21:11Speaker 4: them some money through the slot machines and card games.
- 21:15Speaker 3: I think they're for that.
- 21:16Speaker 1: Yeah, they like that.
- 21:17Speaker 4: I'm gonna watch all these shows too. I'm gonna go
- 21:20Speaker 4: watch them all, Soul Asylum.
- 21:21Speaker 1: I'm gonna make myself at home. I'm probably gonna wear
- 21:23Speaker 1: a robe.
- 21:24Speaker 5: Well, you know what they say, you wear it down
- 21:26Speaker 5: on the floor the robe.
- 21:27Speaker 1: Oh you can't.
- 21:29Speaker 5: Why if it's a hotel robe.
- 21:31Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 21:32Speaker 5: They say fun will lead you there and love will
- 21:35Speaker 5: lead you back. Oh, they do say that.
- 21:39Speaker 2: They do.
- 21:39Speaker 3: They say that a lot. Yeah, And if they aren't,
- 21:41Speaker 3: they should start.
- 21:42Speaker 5: They should give that to them for free.
- 21:44Speaker 1: It's Chucking Buck in the Morning. Sports Radio ninety three
- 21:46Speaker 1: point three kh A r FM. More on the Super
- 21:50Speaker 1: Bowl coming up. Joking boy, it's going to join us
- 21:53Speaker 1: today at nine o'clock. We also have our first look
- 21:58Speaker 1: ahead at the opponent. We we haven't dusted it off
- 22:01Speaker 1: just yet, so we're just going to just sort of
- 22:03Speaker 1: stick our toe in that water. We got a long
- 22:05Speaker 1: time talk about these stupid Patriots, so we're going to
- 22:08Speaker 1: stick our toe in the water in our next segment.
- 22:11Speaker 1: But we got to give you a charcouchery board update
- 22:14Speaker 1: or sharkoachery board update. We've been doing this since the
- 22:18Speaker 1: end of the regular season. There's always coaching rumors out there,
- 22:21Speaker 1: and we have one coaching spot field. Another one Cleveland
- 22:24Speaker 1: Brown's hiring Todd Monkin. And look, I'm sure. I mean
- 22:28Speaker 1: Todd Monkin had a really fine reputation collegiately and seemed
- 22:32Speaker 1: to be doing one hell of a job with the
- 22:34Speaker 1: Baltimore Ravens and Lamar Jackson, and he's winning MVPs and
- 22:38Speaker 1: exciting offense and everything else. But of all the years
- 22:42Speaker 1: for the Cleveland Browns to say we got to get
- 22:44Speaker 1: that Todd Monkin, it's the year in which he was
- 22:46Speaker 1: blasted all year long in Baltimore for not using Derrick
- 22:50Speaker 1: Henry until halfway through the season, that he had a
- 22:53Speaker 1: terrible relationship that soured with Lamar Jackson, that John Harball
- 22:57Speaker 1: is leaving skid marks in the parking lot to get
- 23:00Speaker 1: away from him. And Cleveland's like, yeah.
- 23:03Speaker 5: He's hot, that's our guy.
- 23:05Speaker 3: That's our guy right there.
- 23:06Speaker 1: We just had to get let him get a little tarnished,
- 23:08Speaker 1: a little stained, and then the Browns come and just
- 23:11Speaker 1: scoop him up.
- 23:12Speaker 3: That's our type of head coach right there.
- 23:14Speaker 4: Give us smartrown, very brown of them. Now, I'm with
- 23:18Speaker 4: you one hundred percent. I mean, Harbaugh, the idea of
- 23:20Speaker 4: him getting fired somewhat surprising, but at the same time,
- 23:24Speaker 4: it's just the nature of the beast nowadays. And yet
- 23:27Speaker 4: you would think that if that guy, probably one of
- 23:29Speaker 4: the most sought after head coaches to take over a
- 23:33Speaker 4: new program after being fired, that he would bring him
- 23:36Speaker 4: with him, right, I mean it's I don't think if
- 23:39Speaker 4: he's thinking Harbaugh, he's past his prime. He's not capable
- 23:43Speaker 4: of doing it. But if he's not, like, hey, come on, monkey,
- 23:45Speaker 4: come on, you're coming with me, isn't that a red
- 23:48Speaker 4: flag to some degree? And yet the Browns are like,
- 23:50Speaker 4: not to us, that's a green flag.
- 23:53Speaker 1: Yeah, is Manziell still available? Would like to sign him?
- 23:56Speaker 1: We think this is the coach Manziel's been waiting for.
- 24:00Speaker 4: Yeah, and we need one more quarterback in that room.
- 24:05Speaker 4: Ghit us one?
- 24:06Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean again, Todd Monkins had a
- 24:08Speaker 1: really good career and has been a head coaching candidate
- 24:11Speaker 1: for a while. It's just leave it to the Browns too.
- 24:14Speaker 1: You know, most guys are looking for the hot candidate
- 24:17Speaker 1: out there, and they just went they just go out,
- 24:19Speaker 1: let's go get the ice cold candidates.
- 24:22Speaker 3: That'd be a great plan for us this offense. Yeah,
- 24:24Speaker 3: are they zig? Whenever? Real Zags.
- 24:26Speaker 1: Joe Brady yesterday become head coach of the Buffalo Bills.
- 24:29Speaker 3: I think that's weird.
- 24:30Speaker 1: I mean, if you really are looking for new voice,
- 24:33Speaker 1: if Sean McDermott wasn't doing enough for you to win
- 24:36Speaker 1: double digit games every year, but he couldn't get it
- 24:39Speaker 1: done in the playoffs, how do you not bring in
- 24:41Speaker 1: somebody from the outside. How do you promote from within
- 24:44Speaker 1: if you don't think that you have the staff that
- 24:48Speaker 1: has the right message that can get Josh Allen over
- 24:51Speaker 1: the hump. Now I do understand the argument of man,
- 24:54Speaker 1: we'd just like to keep Josh Allen in the same system.
- 24:58Speaker 1: He seems to be functioning pretty well in that system.
- 25:01Speaker 1: But I mean a first time head coach that this
- 25:06Speaker 1: is the guy that's got the magic words if he did,
- 25:08Speaker 1: If he had the magic words, then how come he
- 25:10Speaker 1: hasn't been using them?
- 25:12Speaker 3: Right?
- 25:12Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't think that. Sean mcderm was like, Hey,
- 25:15Speaker 4: that's a great idea. Don't mention it to the team.
- 25:17Speaker 5: Keep it quiet. I want to see what we can do.
- 25:19Speaker 4: Yeah, I like, just don't tell Josh that.
- 25:22Speaker 3: I know that'll help.
- 25:23Speaker 5: Let's just keep that between us, Joe.
- 25:24Speaker 3: That sounds like super Bowl talk.
- 25:27Speaker 5: We don't want to go there, dude.
- 25:30Speaker 3: Really, well, up until this.
- 25:32Speaker 5: Point, I try to get over the home. My job
- 25:35Speaker 5: is fine. We've got to save stuff for next year.
- 25:37Speaker 4: I thought it was completely opposite of what I thought
- 25:40Speaker 4: they were going to do. I thought, you bring in
- 25:43Speaker 4: somebody that has been there, done that before, it has
- 25:45Speaker 4: actually gotten over the hump versus and if you were
- 25:48Speaker 4: going to bring in someone new, it's some hot like
- 25:51Speaker 4: a Mike McDonald where it's a complete shift.
- 25:53Speaker 3: Maybe clean Kubiak. Maybe you wait for Clean Kubiak.
- 25:56Speaker 1: There's nobody else waiting except the Raiders unless that's already there.
- 25:59Speaker 4: So it just really, we're gonna switch from a guy
- 26:01Speaker 4: who was very successful here in nine season just couldn't
- 26:04Speaker 4: get us over the top, and we're gonna just bring
- 26:07Speaker 4: in a guy who basically has learned everything from him. Okay,
- 26:14Speaker 4: I mean, I I don't know. It seems very odd
- 26:17Speaker 4: to me.
- 26:17Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I thought the I thought even Dabel
- 26:20Speaker 1: made more sense, the Dable.
- 26:23Speaker 5: That's who I thought they were gonna hire.
- 26:25Speaker 1: Yeah, had broken through with Allen and turned him into
- 26:27Speaker 1: a superstar, and you know, turned Barkley into a superstar
- 26:31Speaker 1: with the Giants, and uh and and maybe they thought
- 26:34Speaker 1: they would think that, Okay, well he hasn't been here
- 26:37Speaker 1: the last couple of years. He went off to chase
- 26:39Speaker 1: head coaching pursuits. We bring him back now he's got
- 26:42Speaker 1: a little experience, a little bit of failure. I thought
- 26:45Speaker 1: Dabel might have made a little bit of sense, But
- 26:47Speaker 1: I don't see how Joe Brady makes sense for why
- 26:51Speaker 1: you fired Sean McDermott. And I too, I believe it
- 26:54Speaker 1: more than ever. I think all those teams Harball and
- 26:58Speaker 1: the Giants, Stefanski and the Falcons, Lafloor getting locked up
- 27:02Speaker 1: by the pay packers all that weekend leading up to
- 27:05Speaker 1: the Bills getting eliminated from the playoffs, I think they
- 27:07Speaker 1: all knew, like, if that job becomes available, we better
- 27:10Speaker 1: get Hardball, the Floor and Stefanski locked down because that
- 27:14Speaker 1: seemed like the obvious choice to go to Buffalo. So credit,
- 27:17Speaker 1: I guess to those organizations for kind of reading the
- 27:20Speaker 1: tea leaves. Finally, Clint Kubiak, I mean, there are a
- 27:24Speaker 1: lot of people. We just had Greg Bell at seven
- 27:27Speaker 1: o five say that the Seahawks feel pretty confident full
- 27:30Speaker 1: court Press they can keep him for at least another year.
- 27:33Speaker 1: As the offensive coordinator. But they are an awful lot
- 27:36Speaker 1: of people out there that are saying Kubiak to the
- 27:39Speaker 1: Raiders is all but a done thing.
- 27:41Speaker 3: Yeah, and it's interesting.
- 27:43Speaker 4: I mean I yesterday we were talking about that and
- 27:46Speaker 4: after I said something, you were like, they do have
- 27:48Speaker 4: some pieces. I mean one, they got the number one pick,
- 27:50Speaker 4: and so you're gonna have probably Mendoza would imagine, and
- 27:54Speaker 4: have a new quarterback. You got a great what should
- 27:57Speaker 4: be a great tight end in Bowers, and they have
- 28:01Speaker 4: they have a disgruntled defensive lineman in Max Crosby. I
- 28:05Speaker 4: don't know for sure if he's wanting to be there,
- 28:07Speaker 4: especially the way in which the season ended for them.
- 28:09Speaker 4: They're basically putting them on the phantom il and whatnot.
- 28:13Speaker 3: He's probably gone.
- 28:14Speaker 4: It just seems like a really uphill battle. I mean,
- 28:17Speaker 4: you're going into a division with Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid,
- 28:20Speaker 4: which I don't think they're on some downward slide and
- 28:23Speaker 4: they're not going to be relevant. The Chargers are a
- 28:26Speaker 4: good team, The Broncos are a good team, and you're
- 28:28Speaker 4: for sure coming in as a fourth place team and
- 28:31Speaker 4: you're trying to turn that around. That's not the team
- 28:33Speaker 4: that I would want to go to. If I'm Kubiak,
- 28:36Speaker 4: you know, if I win the Super Bowl and that's
- 28:39Speaker 4: my only option as the Raiders, I'm probably like, how
- 28:41Speaker 4: about we run it back and I go two years
- 28:44Speaker 4: with Sam Darnold, two years of JSN and even improve
- 28:47Speaker 4: upon what I did this year, and then you get
- 28:50Speaker 4: the pick of the litter for next year. You get
- 28:52Speaker 4: to be the hot commodity, not like, well, I didn't
- 28:55Speaker 4: get any of these nine jobs. I'll go ahead and
- 28:58Speaker 4: take that one.
- 28:58Speaker 1: And even if it's a disagn even if you come
- 29:00Speaker 1: back next year and fall on your face and average
- 29:03Speaker 1: twelve points per game as offensive coordinator for the Seahawks,
- 29:06Speaker 1: good news. The Browns will hire you.
- 29:08Speaker 5: Yeah, they'll actually probably fire the guy they've gotten hire you.
- 29:12Speaker 5: They'll be so excited, all right.
- 29:15Speaker 1: Coming up next, it's home Day Wednesdays, And I know
- 29:19Speaker 1: we got two weeks to prepare for this thing, but
- 29:21Speaker 1: Wednesdays when we start looking forward to the next opponent.
- 29:25Speaker 1: And so it's a Super Bowl after all, it's time
- 29:28Speaker 1: to start focusing on those new England Patriots. Our first
- 29:32Speaker 1: discussion about the opponent next on Sports Radio ninety three
- 29:36Speaker 1: point three KJRFM, Chuck Buck Ashley with you coming up
- 29:39Speaker 1: at nine o'clock. I mean, he's hilarious. He's become our
- 29:44Speaker 1: great radio friend, even higher on the scale than Hassleback
- 29:48Speaker 1: because we've just known him longer and he's an outstanding
- 29:54Speaker 1: performer on the stage. I shouldn't call him joke boy.
- 29:57Speaker 1: Joke man is coming up at nine o'clock. Dustin Nickerson
- 30:02Speaker 1: is going.
- 30:02Speaker 3: To be with us. Yeah.
- 30:03Speaker 1: Wait, he's so much more respectful. Just a chunky boy,
- 30:08Speaker 1: is wrong, joking man. He's coming up at nine o'clock,
- 30:11Speaker 1: mister jokes, super respectful captain.
- 30:17Speaker 3: Ha ha, Yeah, I like it at nine o'clock.
- 30:22Speaker 5: Laughs.
- 30:23Speaker 1: We can't wait to chat with him at nine here
- 30:27Speaker 1: this morning, plus your cash word as well. But you know,
- 30:30Speaker 1: we usually we have sort of this philosophy around here.
- 30:34Speaker 1: Maybe I forced it on Ashley and Bucky. I don't did,
- 30:37Speaker 1: But we don't think about what we've accomplished. There's a
- 30:40Speaker 1: point in the week where it's just about the next game.
- 30:43Speaker 3: So I don't know.
- 30:44Speaker 1: Did we win the NFC Conference Championship. I don't even
- 30:47Speaker 1: recall right now, Yeah, I guess we did. See.
- 30:50Speaker 4: I'm one that doesn't really prescribe to that or subscribe
- 30:53Speaker 4: to that, but I will say, yes, yes, you did
- 30:56Speaker 4: win the NFC Championship. We played pretty well, played really well.
- 31:00Speaker 4: That's the reason you're going to the Super Bowl.
- 31:02Speaker 1: Okay, all I'm focused on is the next opponent for
- 31:06Speaker 1: the first time this week, and that is the New
- 31:08Speaker 1: England Patriots. So let this be our first focus on
- 31:11Speaker 1: the Patriots conversation of a long eleven day process of
- 31:16Speaker 1: breaking this game down. And you know, I think where
- 31:19Speaker 1: people are going to go when they think of the Patriots.
- 31:22Speaker 1: I mean, they've got a young quarterback who's fantastic and
- 31:25Speaker 1: who's going to finish second in the MVP voting this
- 31:28Speaker 1: year in the National Football League.
- 31:30Speaker 3: But that ain't what I think about.
- 31:32Speaker 1: In terms of beating the beating the Patriots on Sunday.
- 31:36Speaker 1: Their defense is one of those birds on a bread
- 31:39Speaker 1: truck kind of defenses. It feels at times like they
- 31:43Speaker 1: do so much gang tackling. They just fly around the
- 31:46Speaker 1: football field, and they have been particularly dominant in this postseason.
- 31:52Speaker 1: And yeah, you can throw the Broncos and Jarrett stid
- 31:54Speaker 1: him in there and snow and everything else as maybe
- 31:58Speaker 1: that's not that of an accomplishment, but they made justin Herbert,
- 32:03Speaker 1: who I think is fantastic, look as bad as he's
- 32:07Speaker 1: ever looked as a professional quarterback in Round one of
- 32:10Speaker 1: these playoffs, and then made CJ. Stroud look like he
- 32:13Speaker 1: wanted to quit the game, not just walk off the field,
- 32:17Speaker 1: but like I don't want to play football anymore in
- 32:20Speaker 1: game number two. So UTWO take those two examples where
- 32:24Speaker 1: they held the Chargers to two hundred and seven yards
- 32:27Speaker 1: of offense and then the Texans to two hundred and
- 32:30Speaker 1: forty one yards of offense. And I know whether played
- 32:33Speaker 1: a factor in both of those games, particularly the Texans
- 32:37Speaker 1: game and then the Broncos game. But Bucky, I mean,
- 32:41Speaker 1: as good as the Seahawks defense is, and I think
- 32:44Speaker 1: it's the best in the National Football League, the Patriots
- 32:47Speaker 1: defense is really good and just absolutely on fire right now.
- 32:52Speaker 4: Yeah, they pay, they play complimentary football, and I mean,
- 32:55Speaker 4: I'm down with discounting them to a degree just simply
- 33:01Speaker 4: because you know how bad they were last year. Does
- 33:05Speaker 4: lead it down the path to where you get to
- 33:07Speaker 4: play the fourth place team in the divisions that you play,
- 33:10Speaker 4: And so yeah, they had an easier schedule, but there's
- 33:14Speaker 4: still this is the NFL. You don't get to just
- 33:16Speaker 4: walk over people just because well they're not very good,
- 33:19Speaker 4: and so you just throw your jock on the field
- 33:20Speaker 4: and you went. They were right there with anybody else
- 33:24Speaker 4: in the in the NFL fourteen and three record. That's
- 33:26Speaker 4: not something you can scoff at. You can discount it
- 33:29Speaker 4: if you want, but the fact that they were fourteen
- 33:31Speaker 4: and three and then they have worked their way through
- 33:34Speaker 4: without the buye, They've worked their way through the playoffs.
- 33:37Speaker 4: And yeah, had some teams that c. J. Stroud was
- 33:40Speaker 4: scuffling down the stretch of the season, and so he
- 33:43Speaker 4: just kind of continued there. But they made him look
- 33:46Speaker 4: like you wanted to quit.
- 33:47Speaker 1: They made him look worse than he'd well looked against
- 33:49Speaker 1: any other team. Yeah. Now, it was a driving rain
- 33:52Speaker 1: and everything else, and I understand that that was a factor,
- 33:55Speaker 1: But yeah, I think you got to give credit to
- 33:58Speaker 1: the Patriots. This is three days against top competition, right,
- 34:03Speaker 1: and no offense could move the ball against right three players.
- 34:06Speaker 4: And I think that you discount obviously the Broncos and
- 34:09Speaker 4: having Jeron Stidham, and then the way in which the
- 34:11Speaker 4: second half the weather changed. But if you go to
- 34:14Speaker 4: something that was just fair, you would say the Chargers
- 34:18Speaker 4: and you're right, justin Herbert was harassed. They have a
- 34:21Speaker 4: way they do fly around to the ball and then
- 34:23Speaker 4: they offensively. They've found a way undervrable to we're gonna
- 34:27Speaker 4: do enough. And Josh McDaniels been here before. He understands
- 34:31Speaker 4: how to formulate a game plan that makes a young
- 34:33Speaker 4: quarterback capable of going out there and doing some things
- 34:36Speaker 4: against an offense. Now, I don't think it's this feared
- 34:38Speaker 4: of an offense. Many stretches the Rams going up against
- 34:41Speaker 4: the Seahawks defense, but I don't think it's something you
- 34:43Speaker 4: can sleep on either.
- 34:44Speaker 1: Well, ice and snow won't be your friend this time.
- 34:46Speaker 1: So if it was helping you win the AFC tournament,
- 34:50Speaker 1: well those days are over. We won't have ice and
- 34:54Speaker 1: snow in Santa Clara for this football game. So Christian Gonzales,
- 34:59Speaker 1: I mean in the conversation for best cornerback in the
- 35:02Speaker 1: National Football League. Obviously this team has merits heading into
- 35:07Speaker 1: this contest, and this is considered this the first installment
- 35:11Speaker 1: of many breaking down the opponent before Super Bowl Sunday
- 35:14Speaker 1: rolls around. Coming up next, that great Dustin Nickerson on
- 35:18Speaker 1: Chuck and Box Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM,
