- 1:33Speaker 2: But today when man we're two three days into this already.

- 1:49Speaker 5: of the game of the Year, and so we will
- 1:52Speaker 5: be discussing it quite a bit here on the radio program.

- 1:58Speaker 5: a couple of other surprises that we'll out for you
- 2:00Speaker 5: with what's on tap, and so certainly that'll be the
- 2:03Speaker 5: driving force behind this hump day edition of Chuck and
- 2:06Speaker 5: Buck in the Mornings.
- 2:07Speaker 4: But we have to.
- 2:08Speaker 5: Start just quickly before we dive into some of this
- 2:11Speaker 5: Seahawks analysis of this game. We've got a champion in
- 2:15Speaker 5: our midst She's won another crown, So hang another banner
- 2:19Speaker 5: at the five Iron household.
- 2:21Speaker 1: How's that?
- 2:22Speaker 5: Well, she's water polo champion, as I know that, Yepen mentions.
- 2:27Speaker 5: And now she's also a cart champion.
- 2:32Speaker 1: A decorated carving cart.
- 2:34Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, so congratulations, thank you. This one might mean more.
- 2:38Speaker 8: I mean, we've been doing this for years and we
- 2:41Speaker 8: go all out and decorate our cart and.
- 2:43Speaker 2: And when you say years, how long like four years? Okay,
- 2:47Speaker 2: part five years. We do it, and you know, everybody
- 2:49Speaker 2: goes up.
- 2:49Speaker 8: They have a big open house and then there's a
- 2:51Speaker 8: parade and everyone judges the cards.
- 2:53Speaker 2: Then we go around the neighborhoods. So it's a blast.
- 2:55Speaker 1: Okay.
- 2:56Speaker 8: And yesterday I just had a feeling it felt different.
- 3:00Speaker 4: Uh huh, it felt different.
- 3:02Speaker 2: It felt different, and uh.
- 3:04Speaker 4: You woke up feeling dangerous.
- 3:06Speaker 8: We did Mayfield were Russell Wilson with a subway sandwich.
- 3:11Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, and uh and and I it felt different
- 3:15Speaker 2: for a reason because when we walked up there, I
- 3:17Speaker 2: knew we were going to dominate. I knew it.
- 3:20Speaker 8: We got out of our cart, we walked in and
- 3:21Speaker 8: I was like, this is our year, this is our year.
- 3:26Speaker 8: We did the parade, we got the the prizes were
- 3:30Speaker 8: handed out or laid out, and they said, and our winners,
- 3:33Speaker 8: we have a first place tie.
- 3:35Speaker 1: Oh oh.
- 3:38Speaker 2: And it was us and our dear friend Sharon.
- 3:41Speaker 4: Oh wow, you both won first place.
- 3:43Speaker 2: One first place tie must have been phenomenal.
- 3:46Speaker 8: Decorating it was phenomenal. Not one of our best efforts,
- 3:50Speaker 8: but clearly the crowd loved it.
- 3:52Speaker 5: Yeah, Well, went over the crowd. Gladiator told us that, yep,
- 3:55Speaker 5: are you not entertained?
- 3:56Speaker 2: And they were, and that's it.
- 3:58Speaker 8: You know, sometimes it might not have be your best
- 3:59Speaker 8: decoring effort, but you got to put forth with the effort.
- 4:02Speaker 4: Uh huh.
- 4:03Speaker 2: And we gave it all all.
- 4:05Speaker 4: You won the crowd, you won your freedom.
- 4:07Speaker 1: So tied for first. Yeah, and second. How do you
- 4:10Speaker 1: how many carts get decorated in this type of thing?
- 4:14Speaker 8: Usually, I mean twenty to thirty. This ye was a
- 4:18Speaker 8: little different, different, like for there were two.
- 4:22Speaker 6: Oh man, yeah, oh man.
- 4:27Speaker 8: See, so when I walked up and saw the other
- 4:30Speaker 8: cart decorated, I was like, there's this year is different
- 4:35Speaker 8: and there's two. We're getting a prize this year.
- 4:38Speaker 2: Boy, it really sucked if you finished second this year.
- 4:41Speaker 8: I thought we were honestly going to finish second because
- 4:43Speaker 8: I when I say it was not our best effort.
- 4:45Speaker 8: We put some tinsel on the outside because it was
- 4:47Speaker 8: pouring and we didn't want it to blow away.
- 4:51Speaker 2: But then we had Palmer and a Christmas tree outfit.
- 4:54Speaker 2: Baba the Great and the.
- 4:54Speaker 8: Christmas tree outfit put you over the top. She walked
- 4:57Speaker 8: right in front of the cart. She was in addition
- 4:59Speaker 8: to the cart actually.
- 5:00Speaker 2: Probably put you to the top since you didn't finish
- 5:02Speaker 2: over the time, just.
- 5:03Speaker 8: Put us at the top alongside the other person that
- 5:07Speaker 8: made an effort to show up with a decorated cart.
- 5:09Speaker 2: It didn't put you below the top, correct, yes, correct.
- 5:12Speaker 4: Yeah, so it played a role.
- 5:14Speaker 2: So there you go, guys.
- 5:15Speaker 1: Yeah, that's impressive.
- 5:16Speaker 2: Yeah, and you know what, I'm impressed. It might be
- 5:19Speaker 2: a strong word.
- 5:20Speaker 6: In fifty years when they're talking about the champions and
- 5:23Speaker 6: even co champions, they're not.
- 5:24Speaker 1: Gonna they're not going to say out of how many cars?
- 5:27Speaker 8: Oh no, they definitely will, because everybody was laughing, like
- 5:30Speaker 8: the fact that because there were a lot of people
- 5:32Speaker 8: at the open house, nobody just decorated carts because the
- 5:35Speaker 8: club will provide carts and people can decorate those.
- 5:37Speaker 2: But it's pouring and they don't have doors, so they're
- 5:39Speaker 2: gonna get soaked.
- 5:40Speaker 5: You know what, when they talk about Bill Russell's eleven champions,
- 5:43Speaker 5: uh huh, chips. You know, the Celtics themselves don't point
- 5:47Speaker 5: out there were only like ten teams in.
- 5:48Speaker 2: The league, right, you know, right, you know the Yankees.
- 5:52Speaker 5: So when they you know, in the Babe Ruth days,
- 5:54Speaker 5: nobody goes out of their way to say that there
- 5:56Speaker 5: were only fourteen teams in the league.
- 5:58Speaker 2: I mean, think about it, think about it.
- 5:59Speaker 5: That I will think about it basically the Celtics dynasty.
- 6:03Speaker 2: And I like that thought process.
- 6:05Speaker 8: The problem here again, though, is that everybody laughed a
- 6:08Speaker 8: lot because there were only two carts. So it will
- 6:11Speaker 8: be talked about for years to come. How two people
- 6:14Speaker 8: braved the elements to show up for the cart parade
- 6:16Speaker 8: and one of them made her child walk in the ring.
- 6:18Speaker 1: You know what.
- 6:19Speaker 5: That's another part of this that has to be etched
- 6:21Speaker 5: in history, is how much you braved the elements.
- 6:24Speaker 2: See, And that's all I'm saying.
- 6:26Speaker 4: I mean there were gale force winds.
- 6:29Speaker 5: Going on and a lot of water and a lot Well, congratulations,
- 6:33Speaker 5: thank you.
- 6:33Speaker 2: We're going to celebrate this moment.
- 6:35Speaker 4: We got a champion on it. That's right, that's right.
- 6:39Speaker 2: When we started this show. Oh okay, how many were
- 6:43Speaker 2: in it? I don't even care you were.
- 6:45Speaker 4: At the top.
- 6:46Speaker 2: I don't remember how many were in it. All I
- 6:48Speaker 2: remember is the moment. It was.
- 6:51Speaker 5: Yeah, I was the champion of my meal I had
- 6:53Speaker 5: last night. I was the only person that ate it
- 6:56Speaker 5: and I won it.
- 6:57Speaker 2: Congratulations, I defeated the meal and how did it feel.
- 7:00Speaker 1: Uh like a winner?
- 7:02Speaker 5: Yeah?
- 7:02Speaker 4: Yeah, I felt like a winner.
- 7:04Speaker 2: Well, there you go, and that's the way the Winsday edition.
- 7:07Speaker 8: I me.
- 7:07Speaker 5: You know, it's great to win a championship before even
- 7:10Speaker 5: play your biggest game of the year. So look at
- 7:13Speaker 5: the look at the leg up Ashley's got on. All
- 7:15Speaker 5: RAMS fans just.
- 7:16Speaker 2: Wanted to get us, you know, off on the winning FLA.
- 7:19Speaker 5: It's not like a RAM fan one, No RAM fan
- 7:23Speaker 5: one last night the other people weren't.
- 7:24Speaker 2: Rammed, I would have taken the prize and run.
- 7:26Speaker 5: Okay, well Ram Seahawks. It is tomorrow night. And of
- 7:32Speaker 5: course I don't know if there's anybody in the National
- 7:35Speaker 5: Football League in analyst that's questioning whether or not the
- 7:38Speaker 5: Seahawks defense is ready for this matchup against Matt Stafford.
- 7:42Speaker 5: They've already faced the Rams, uh and did well. Matt
- 7:47Speaker 5: Stafford has had an MVP season. The only time he
- 7:49Speaker 5: didn't look like an MVP was against the Seahawks when
- 7:52Speaker 5: they faced him. He actually looked confused at times. He
- 7:55Speaker 5: certainly didn't put up the numbers that have made him
- 7:58Speaker 5: an MVP candidate. And so I don't know if anybody's
- 8:02Speaker 5: questioning whether or not the Seahawks defense is going to
- 8:04Speaker 5: be ready for this matchup tomorrow night. But it feels
- 8:07Speaker 5: like everybody's questioning whether the offense is where it needs
- 8:10Speaker 5: to be heading into this game. Yet they posted some
- 8:15Speaker 5: big numbers eventually against the Atlanta Falcons and ended up
- 8:19Speaker 5: with a blowout eventually against the Minnesota Vikings.
- 8:22Speaker 4: But there's some red flags going on around here.
- 8:25Speaker 5: As Hugh Millen helped us point out on Monday morning,
- 8:29Speaker 5: you played the Indianapolis Colts with Philip Rivers quarterbacking on
- 8:33Speaker 5: the other side, and yet you didn't score a touchdown
- 8:36Speaker 5: four quarters. You didn't score a touchdown at home against
- 8:39Speaker 5: the Indianapolis Colts, And so there are a couple of things.
- 8:42Speaker 5: Number one, why are you settling for so many.
- 8:44Speaker 4: Field goals these days?
- 8:46Speaker 5: We also have the Sam Darnold turnover issue that Greg
- 8:50Speaker 5: brings up a lot that is undeniable. It's factual information.
- 8:54Speaker 5: He's one of the league leaders in number of turnovers
- 8:58Speaker 5: individually as a quarterback this year. And certainly there is
- 9:03Speaker 5: a big concern over a lack of a running game.
- 9:07Speaker 5: No matter how hard they try, no matter how much
- 9:10Speaker 5: effort they give toward this project, they don't seem to
- 9:14Speaker 5: be getting better at it. And so as we get
- 9:17Speaker 5: ready for the biggest game of the year, you do wonder.
- 9:20Speaker 5: You have to wonder whether or not this offense is
- 9:23Speaker 5: in a good place to pull off its biggest win.
- 9:25Speaker 1: Of the season.
- 9:26Speaker 6: They're gonna have to show up and play one of
- 9:29Speaker 6: their better games, you would think, and or you know
- 9:32Speaker 6: that combined with some mistakes for that the defense forces
- 9:36Speaker 6: some mistakes, or you know, some short fields for them
- 9:39Speaker 6: and whatnot. But yeah, I think that you can come
- 9:41Speaker 6: off of a win against a team that is heading
- 9:44Speaker 6: in the opposite direction of where you're wanting to go
- 9:47Speaker 6: in the Colts, I mean, and who they were playing
- 9:49Speaker 6: at quarterback, all that kind of stuff, you could you
- 9:51Speaker 6: can come off of a win and still not feel
- 9:54Speaker 6: better about yourself going into the bigger, biggest game. And
- 9:56Speaker 6: I think the offensive side of the ball should Now
- 9:59Speaker 6: is that a different ball game if you're playing against
- 10:01Speaker 6: the Rams. Is there times that they go for it
- 10:03Speaker 6: on fourth down when they when they decided to kick
- 10:06Speaker 6: field goals? I think quite possibly, because typically the Rams
- 10:10Speaker 6: are a team that isn't going to have as much
- 10:13Speaker 6: of a difficulty of putting up points as well no
- 10:15Speaker 6: matter how good your defense is, they're still going to
- 10:18Speaker 6: they're still going to get down and they're going to
- 10:20Speaker 6: move the ball from time to time.
- 10:21Speaker 1: It's it's against their offense.
- 10:23Speaker 6: You're thinking, we got to contain this situation, you know,
- 10:25Speaker 6: when we think our defense can, it's not. You're not
- 10:27Speaker 6: probably going out there thinking a shutout as likely, And
- 10:31Speaker 6: so I think the offense has to do a little
- 10:33Speaker 6: bit more than just hopefully kind of stay in it
- 10:36Speaker 6: that type of a thing, because they're just there's some
- 10:38Speaker 6: danger on that rams side of things, and it's not
- 10:40Speaker 6: like their defense is some slouch either. They can take
- 10:43Speaker 6: the ball away from you, they can get after the pass,
- 10:45Speaker 6: so they can they can fortune mistakes too. So it's
- 10:48Speaker 6: there's a lot going on into this thing, and I
- 10:49Speaker 6: think the offensive masterminds over there definitely have their hands full.
- 10:53Speaker 5: As much as I like going forward on fourth down,
- 10:55Speaker 5: I mean, I'm not Greg Olsen, but I'm more in
- 10:58Speaker 5: the Olsen category. I do like going forward on fourth down.
- 11:02Speaker 5: I don't like settling for field goals. I really didn't
- 11:04Speaker 5: have a problem with those decisions. I mean, there were
- 11:07Speaker 5: six of them to be made on Sunday, and each
- 11:11Speaker 5: time Mike McDonald took the points and it turned out
- 11:15Speaker 5: to be just enough. I don't really want to. I
- 11:17Speaker 5: don't really like playing football that way. I think Pete
- 11:19Speaker 5: Carroll did this. Sometimes. I just want to be there
- 11:21Speaker 5: in the fourth quarter. I'd rather be up ten in
- 11:23Speaker 5: the fourth quarter. Frankly, Yeah, I don't want to sit
- 11:26Speaker 5: there and let it hinge on whether or not I
- 11:27Speaker 5: can stop a team from getting into field goal range
- 11:30Speaker 5: or if we can get into field goal range. Because
- 11:32Speaker 5: we're playing a one score game. I'd much prefer having
- 11:36Speaker 5: a big lead heading into the fourth quarter. So I
- 11:38Speaker 5: don't necessarily, I mean as a whole, I don't like
- 11:43Speaker 5: putting our putting my team in that position. That said,
- 11:46Speaker 5: the six decisions that he made, I don't know if
- 11:49Speaker 5: I had a problem with any of them. Where I
- 11:51Speaker 5: do have a problem is the way that Clint Kubiak
- 11:54Speaker 5: seems to be approaching, you know, getting into the red zone,
- 11:59Speaker 5: or as Hugh and Coach talked about on Monday, the
- 12:02Speaker 5: fringe zone, which now you only have to get in
- 12:05Speaker 5: the fringe zone twenty to forty yard line, because that
- 12:08Speaker 5: puts you in field goal range in today's game, especially
- 12:10Speaker 5: when you're boasting the hottest kicker in the National Football League.
- 12:13Speaker 5: But it's very clear that this team's not really running
- 12:16Speaker 5: the football effectively, and we have now had fourteen games
- 12:20Speaker 5: to try to figure out how to do that well.
- 12:23Speaker 5: We're getting ready for the biggest three games of the
- 12:25Speaker 5: year against three potential playoff teams. Two of them are
- 12:29Speaker 5: going to be on the road, and so I don't
- 12:32Speaker 5: want to sit here and just spend my entire game
- 12:35Speaker 5: trying to establish that we can run the football.
- 12:38Speaker 2: And I'll give you two great examples of this.
- 12:41Speaker 5: I mean, you try to establish the run in the
- 12:43Speaker 5: first quarter, you can't get anything going against the Indianapolis Colts.
- 12:47Speaker 5: At the end of the first quarter, you finally start
- 12:49Speaker 5: clicking Donald hits cup for sixteen yards, then Donald to
- 12:53Speaker 5: Shiheed for thirteen yards, and you go from the thirty
- 12:56Speaker 5: eight yard line to their thirty three yard line, and
- 12:59Speaker 5: no time, you're at their thirty three yard line and
- 13:02Speaker 5: you started going up tempo. Even the announcers pointed that out.
- 13:05Speaker 5: Look at how they're just racing to So it's like, okay,
- 13:08Speaker 5: all right, we tried to establish the run. You're not
- 13:11Speaker 5: going to abandon the run late in the first quarter.
- 13:14Speaker 5: But you got to get the offense going and it
- 13:16Speaker 5: looks like you have and what did they do on
- 13:18Speaker 5: the next three plays? Walker run left, pitch left, walker left, draw,
- 13:23Speaker 5: walker field goal. By everything that you got going, you
- 13:29Speaker 5: then just gave away. And I realized that the art
- 13:32Speaker 5: of football is to do something that they're not expecting,
- 13:36Speaker 5: but not at the risk of doing something that you're
- 13:39Speaker 5: good at. Right right, I mean, because we've seen throughout
- 13:44Speaker 5: history that I mean, Mike Holmgren didn't not throw the
- 13:48Speaker 5: football because he knew the defense knew that they could
- 13:52Speaker 5: throw the football, and to me, that is happening way
- 13:56Speaker 5: too frequently. There are other examples in it as well,
- 14:00Speaker 5: like there were a couple of drives that bogged down,
- 14:03Speaker 5: a Brady Russell drop, a missed PI.
- 14:06Speaker 2: At one point, you had two at the end of
- 14:08Speaker 2: the first half.
- 14:09Speaker 5: You're trying to just get a field goal out of it,
- 14:11Speaker 5: and so you're trying to get into field goal range.
- 14:13Speaker 5: You're not trying to put together a long touchdown drive
- 14:15Speaker 5: at that point, and so that's how you finished with
- 14:17Speaker 5: three points at one point. And then later in the game,
- 14:20Speaker 5: kind of the same thing happened. They were rolling, they
- 14:24Speaker 5: were clicking, and then they decided once we're in scoring range,
- 14:28Speaker 5: let's run the football, and the thing bogged down again.
- 14:31Speaker 5: And so I'm not saying that he has to change dramatically, Ashley.
- 14:36Speaker 5: I'm not saying you abandoned the run. But man, this
- 14:40Speaker 5: is not in the must win category, because I think
- 14:43Speaker 5: you're making the playoffs no matter what. But if you
- 14:46Speaker 5: want to win the division, this is a must win.
- 14:49Speaker 5: And I don't want to sit here spending the entire day,
- 14:51Speaker 5: spending every drive trying to make sure the Rams know
- 14:54Speaker 5: that we can run the football. We might not be
- 14:57Speaker 5: able to run the football, and we definitely damn sure
- 15:00Speaker 5: can throw the football, and we certainly have a wide
- 15:02Speaker 5: receiver that dominates football games. We've watched it time and
- 15:05Speaker 5: time again, no matter how many people that they put
- 15:07Speaker 5: on him. And so I don't want to sacrifice what
- 15:10Speaker 5: we do best just to show the Rams that what
- 15:13Speaker 5: we do worst.
- 15:15Speaker 2: Is something we can do.
- 15:16Speaker 4: It's something we can do. And I think that that's
- 15:18Speaker 4: been happening way too frequently.
- 15:20Speaker 8: Yeah, it's very frustrating that I don't think that that
- 15:23Speaker 8: you need to prove to anyone you can run the football,
- 15:26Speaker 8: And it does seem like at times they want to
- 15:27Speaker 8: prove to people that they can do it, and I
- 15:29Speaker 8: don't understand it. I noticed on Sunday that when they
- 15:32Speaker 8: started speeding things up, like you were just talking about
- 15:34Speaker 8: the tempo of the offense, that's when they were their
- 15:36Speaker 8: most successful.
- 15:36Speaker 2: And then it would just and.
- 15:38Speaker 8: You had a lot of energy in the building and
- 15:40Speaker 8: then all of a sudden, it would just fizzle because
- 15:42Speaker 8: the offense just fizzled. And I don't know why you
- 15:45Speaker 8: would all of a sudden change that I understand. You
- 15:47Speaker 8: have to have, you know, different plays in different you know,
- 15:50Speaker 8: a different game plan once you're inside the red zone,
- 15:52Speaker 8: but it shouldn't be a completely different game plan that
- 15:55Speaker 8: takes away your best weapon.
- 15:57Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 15:58Speaker 2: The other example was at the end of the third core.
- 16:00Speaker 5: I mean, you have the ball at the twenty at
- 16:02Speaker 5: the time, you're trailing by a touchdown, Donald that beauty
- 16:06Speaker 5: to Shaheed twenty seven yards, Donald to Cup for six yards.
- 16:10Speaker 5: Then you mixed in a run, got one yard for
- 16:12Speaker 5: your effort. Then on the very next play twenty nine
- 16:15Speaker 5: yards to JSN and you've gone from the twenty to
- 16:18Speaker 5: their seventeen throwing the football and then what happens you
- 16:23Speaker 5: get into the fourth quarter, you have a break, you
- 16:25Speaker 5: come out of the fourth quarter, you're in their red zone.
- 16:27Speaker 5: You are in a position, and.
- 16:28Speaker 4: What do we do? Run?
- 16:30Speaker 5: Run, third and long pass. So that to me just
- 16:34Speaker 5: I'm not saying overhauled, Bucky. I'm not saying you a
- 16:37Speaker 5: band in the run. I'm just saying I'm not going
- 16:41Speaker 5: to spend the biggest game of the year trying to
- 16:44Speaker 5: prove to the National Football League that you have to
- 16:47Speaker 5: respect our running game. Let's do what we do best
- 16:50Speaker 5: when it matters most.
- 16:52Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I mean I get what you're saying.
- 16:53Speaker 6: They're not a drastic overhaul, not abandoning the run, but
- 16:56Speaker 6: not necessarily being so you know, clutching onto it so
- 17:00Speaker 6: that you feel like, man, what are we going to do?
- 17:02Speaker 6: I mean, I think that there's it's a you know,
- 17:05Speaker 6: I talk a lot of times when we're talking about
- 17:06Speaker 6: baseball about like the approach right, like be ready to
- 17:09Speaker 6: ambush first pitch, fast past. So that doesn't mean I
- 17:11Speaker 6: want everybody going up there and swinging at the first.
- 17:13Speaker 1: Pitch, right, you know what I mean.
- 17:15Speaker 6: So that's like you don't want everybody, you don't want
- 17:17Speaker 6: Sam Donald to drop back and pass first down every
- 17:20Speaker 6: time just because it seems to be the way they
- 17:22Speaker 6: move the ball the best, obviously, but there's a part
- 17:26Speaker 6: where I mean that first example that you said where
- 17:29Speaker 6: their first scoring drive they go three and out their
- 17:31Speaker 6: first their first possession, the second possession is that bang bang,
- 17:34Speaker 6: couple passes and then run, run, run. It's like somewhere
- 17:38Speaker 6: in those three, right, I mean, you could just keep
- 17:40Speaker 6: rolling with this thing.
- 17:41Speaker 1: Right and then and then you get it. Yeah, why not?
- 17:44Speaker 1: I mean the first run they run and he ends
- 17:46Speaker 1: up getting four yards. Okay, so now you're second and six.
- 17:50Speaker 1: Somewhere here you got to go. You got to just
- 17:52Speaker 1: stick with what got you here.
- 17:54Speaker 6: Take you know, dance with the girl that got you
- 17:55Speaker 6: to the thirty yard line or whatever, twenty nine yard
- 17:58Speaker 6: line at that point instead of two more runs because
- 18:01Speaker 6: you're I mean, when you get to third and four,
- 18:03Speaker 6: it's like you're just trying to trick him.
- 18:04Speaker 3: Now.
- 18:05Speaker 6: I would be curious to find out from you or
- 18:08Speaker 6: Sam Donald if the opponents are showing them pass defenses
- 18:14Speaker 6: pre snap and then if they're adjusting to their run right,
- 18:17Speaker 6: like if it's if they maybe Clint Kubak is calling
- 18:20Speaker 6: a pass there, you would think third and four after
- 18:22Speaker 6: he goes pass pass to get down there, two runs
- 18:25Speaker 6: and now you're at third and four. You would think
- 18:27Speaker 6: that's a pass play, right, That typically is a pass
- 18:29Speaker 6: play in the NFL. Nope, draw and then instead they
- 18:31Speaker 6: and so that might be one of those where he's
- 18:33Speaker 6: like the defense is messing with Sam Donald and he's
- 18:36Speaker 6: checking out of the play. I don't know for sure,
- 18:38Speaker 6: but I mean it's just a food for thought as
- 18:41Speaker 6: to why they do it, because I would have to
- 18:44Speaker 6: think that if you're if I'm an offensive coordinator, yes,
- 18:46Speaker 6: I want to be able to run, but I would
- 18:48Speaker 6: also like to just move the ball in chunks. How
- 18:50Speaker 6: much easier is it when you're getting twenty yard plays,
- 18:52Speaker 6: fifteen yard plays, thirty yard plays. It's a whole heck
- 18:55Speaker 6: of a lot easier to move the ball down the
- 18:56Speaker 6: field versus thinking you're gonna get twelve runs that are
- 18:59Speaker 6: going to quit the yards and seven points.
- 19:01Speaker 5: Anybody that has been an adult and has socialized at
- 19:04Speaker 5: some point in their life, at one point at a
- 19:07Speaker 5: party was in charge of the music. And if the
- 19:10Speaker 5: party's jumping, you don't just suddenly choose that.
- 19:13Speaker 2: Moment to play the carpenters. No, right, I mean yeah
- 19:17Speaker 2: at the junior high party.
- 19:19Speaker 5: Yeah, you've got to strategize when you're gonna play the
- 19:21Speaker 5: slow song, because it's the only time the boys will
- 19:24Speaker 5: actually dance.
- 19:26Speaker 2: You know, at least in my high school, a.
- 19:28Speaker 4: Lot of white people.
- 19:30Speaker 5: But when you're in charge of your own party and
- 19:34Speaker 5: you've got you've got to read the energy of the party, right.
- 19:37Speaker 5: You don't just to suddenly go from everybody's dancing and
- 19:41Speaker 5: having a good time and then you just slip in
- 19:43Speaker 5: some Anne Murray Morose number that just kills the entire
- 19:48Speaker 5: mood of the party. And it's the same thing with
- 19:50Speaker 5: Colin plays. I don't want to just play slow songs
- 19:53Speaker 5: just because we think we need to just feed.
- 19:56Speaker 2: The feel, the feel, the beat of the rhythm of
- 20:00Speaker 2: the night.
- 20:00Speaker 5: That's right, Yeah, all right, let's find out what's on
- 20:02Speaker 5: tap for today's show.
- 20:06Speaker 3: What's on TEP, what's on tech?
- 20:09Speaker 2: All right, Greg bel joins us this morning at seven
- 20:11Speaker 2: o five.
- 20:12Speaker 5: His buddy Omar Ruiz from the NFL Network, who's been
- 20:16Speaker 5: doing a lot of stuff in la will be joining
- 20:18Speaker 5: us today at eight o'clock this morning, So that's coming
- 20:22Speaker 5: up on the show. Injury updates, still a question mark
- 20:25Speaker 5: about DeVante Adams with the Rams. Also, Charles Cross for
- 20:28Speaker 5: the Seahawks. Will get those updates from Greg at seven five.
- 20:32Speaker 5: College football playoff week, Oklahoma takes on Alabama Friday to
- 20:36Speaker 5: get it started the three games on Saturday. We'll talk
- 20:39Speaker 5: a little college football playoff later in the show. Crack
- 20:42Speaker 5: and lost again last night. To Everett Fitzhugh's point, it's
- 20:45Speaker 5: not like they've been playing bad hockey, just not good
- 20:48Speaker 5: enough to win games for goodness sake, and that was
- 20:51Speaker 5: a perfect example of that last night. They actually led
- 20:55Speaker 5: three to two against Colorado, but end up losing the
- 20:58Speaker 5: game against the best team in the NHL right now
- 21:01Speaker 5: by a final score of five to three. The NBA
- 21:04Speaker 5: It's Cup champion this year is the New York Knicks.
- 21:07Speaker 5: We got to find some time to talk about this
- 21:09Speaker 5: later on. The Knicks one over the San Antonio Spurs
- 21:12Speaker 5: to take a trophy that apparently NBA players don't want,
- 21:15Speaker 5: so we'll talk about that also, though the bigger news.
- 21:18Speaker 5: Adam Silvery yesterday discussed expansion and said that we will
- 21:23Speaker 5: address this once and for all in twenty twenty six.
- 21:26Speaker 5: We won't put Seattle in Vegas through this any longer.
- 21:28Speaker 5: We will make an announcement this year, and he mentioned
- 21:31Speaker 5: no other city specifically beyond Seattle and Las Vegas. And finally,
- 21:37Speaker 5: Terrence Crawford forty two to ohero in his boxing career.
- 21:40Speaker 5: I know we don't make as big a deal out
- 21:42Speaker 5: of boxing anymore, but this was this guy's in the
- 21:45Speaker 5: conversation for one of the greatest pound for pound fighters
- 21:48Speaker 5: of all time, and he just decided, I've won like
- 21:51Speaker 5: six different belts at six different weight levels, and I
- 21:53Speaker 5: don't really like the politics. I'm retiring. I got nothing
- 21:57Speaker 5: left to prove. So a pretty big story there from
- 21:59Speaker 5: the boxing world. Yesterday. Coming up next Major League Baseball,
- 22:03Speaker 5: the Mariners made a signing yesterday. We'll tell you how
- 22:06Speaker 5: that impacts the roster going forward. It's Chuck and Buck
- 22:09Speaker 5: on a Wednesday Sports Radio ninety three point three KHRFM.
- 22:12Speaker 1: Good call, Yeah, a lot of people had that.
- 22:14Speaker 5: Yeahiers, Yeah, locked in right there on. Andrew Kissner, Chuck Powell,
- 22:19Speaker 5: Bucky Jacobson, and Ashley Ryan with you. Certainly a lot
- 22:23Speaker 5: to discuss as we get ready for Seahawks Rams tomorrow night.
- 22:26Speaker 5: That'll be most of the show. But the Mariners did
- 22:28Speaker 5: make a move yesterday, and it's a rather interesting one
- 22:31Speaker 5: because it obviously is a different kind of philosophy that
- 22:34Speaker 5: they're going to go into into twenty twenty six with
- 22:39Speaker 5: as Cal's backup catcher, Andrew Kissner, who's bounced around quite
- 22:43Speaker 5: a bit, never has locked in as a starter, never
- 22:47Speaker 5: even has threatened to be a starter at the major
- 22:50Speaker 5: league level. Was with the Cardinals for a while, most
- 22:52Speaker 5: of his career with the Giants for a little bit.
- 22:56Speaker 5: This is about as classic a backup catcher signing as
- 23:00Speaker 5: you can make right here. There will be no cute
- 23:04Speaker 5: playing around with you know, Garver will DH some and
- 23:08Speaker 5: then he's the backup catcher and you know, Harry Ford,
- 23:11Speaker 5: maybe we can teach him to play left field and
- 23:14Speaker 5: second base.
- 23:14Speaker 4: There'll be none of that going forward.
- 23:16Speaker 5: Things that we've discussed numerous times here over the last
- 23:19Speaker 5: few years and even projected going forward. The Mariners are
- 23:23Speaker 5: just going with classic. We have a starter, he is
- 23:27Speaker 5: a super duper star, and we are going to give
- 23:30Speaker 5: him a classic backup and then Cal will DH whenever
- 23:34Speaker 5: he's not catching. And so that's what this Andrew Kisner
- 23:38Speaker 5: signing represents.
- 23:39Speaker 2: We didn't sign anything spectacular.
- 23:41Speaker 5: Yesterday, Bucky, but they did marry to a new old philosophy.
- 23:46Speaker 6: Yeah, it was something I read yesterday was in two
- 23:49Speaker 6: hundred and forty some innings or something like that.
- 23:51Speaker 1: No pass balls.
- 23:51Speaker 6: So they're they're like, this guy's good defensively, knows how
- 23:55Speaker 6: to handle a staff, doesn't bring a lot to the
- 23:57Speaker 6: table offensively, and yet that's okay, I guess. I mean
- 24:01Speaker 6: it's it's not like there's a ton of great backup catchers.
- 24:05Speaker 6: If you can hit and you can catch, you're not
- 24:07Speaker 6: a backup catcher. You'll probably find somewhere to land. But so, yeah,
- 24:11Speaker 6: not much offensively. But I think that they're going with
- 24:13Speaker 6: the when we're giving Cali day off, he'll probably still
- 24:17Speaker 6: be in the lineup DH and more often not, so
- 24:19Speaker 6: we keep the bat in there and we'll just go
- 24:21Speaker 6: ahead and hide that down in the eighth spot or
- 24:23Speaker 6: something and and hope that he does well as far
- 24:26Speaker 6: as receiving and catching hi blocking goes.
- 24:28Speaker 5: I do like the idea of having a catcher with
- 24:31Speaker 5: a little bit of versatility. They played I suppose a
- 24:35Speaker 5: little bit with Fire last year where they had both
- 24:38Speaker 5: of them in the lineup that's at the same time.
- 24:40Speaker 5: And if your catcher while the other one's dhing gets injured,
- 24:44Speaker 5: then you lose the DH because that person obviously has
- 24:48Speaker 5: to become the catcher at that point. I don't remember
- 24:51Speaker 5: it ever burning them. I don't remember an incident where
- 24:54Speaker 5: that came back to haunt them, but you certainly ran
- 24:57Speaker 5: the risk all season long of that occurring. Well, they're
- 25:01Speaker 5: not going to do that anymore, you know. I mean, yeah, well,
- 25:05Speaker 5: I guess they will because Cal is still going to
- 25:07Speaker 5: DH whenever Kiszner is catching. But I do sort of
- 25:11Speaker 5: like the idea of having a catcher with some versatility
- 25:15Speaker 5: or a DH with some versatility.
- 25:18Speaker 4: But I get.
- 25:20Speaker 5: Why, You're just like, why are we doing this? Why
- 25:22Speaker 5: are we trying to be cute? You know, just let's
- 25:24Speaker 5: just get a backup for Cal and call it a day.
- 25:27Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 25:28Speaker 8: Well, and that's that's the thing is I mean, we
- 25:30Speaker 8: talked about just having Yeah, you're DH with versatility, and
- 25:33Speaker 8: I was talking, you know, and when we were talking
- 25:34Speaker 8: about Jorge Plonco and the fact that he could DH,
- 25:37Speaker 8: that he could play second, that he could play third,
- 25:38Speaker 8: and he could do all of these things. So it
- 25:41Speaker 8: and it does seem to be more of the Mariner's
- 25:43Speaker 8: mo to have that, you know, that person that can
- 25:46Speaker 8: do a lot of different ways.
- 25:46Speaker 5: I'm still on a DH with versatility. Yeah, you have
- 25:49Speaker 5: to have a DH with versatility by doing this. Yeah,
- 25:52Speaker 5: if you're going to have your starting catcher DH when
- 25:54Speaker 5: he's not catching, then you I mean you can't. Everybody,
- 25:58Speaker 5: for as long as I've been here, we're let's just
- 26:00Speaker 5: get an aircraft carrier. Did get that Nelson Cruise type?
- 26:02Speaker 5: You can't get a Nelson Cruse type because you.
- 26:05Speaker 2: Gotta have someone else that can do something else.
- 26:07Speaker 5: Yeah, because that means you're gonna sign some big bat
- 26:10Speaker 5: to be your DH and he's gonna sit on the bench.
- 26:12Speaker 1: Every five days.
- 26:13Speaker 5: I mean that's you're gonna have to now gab a
- 26:16Speaker 5: DH with some versatility because now you no longer have
- 26:19Speaker 5: a backup catcher with.
- 26:20Speaker 1: Any type of versatility. If that makes sense, No, that
- 26:23Speaker 1: makes sense.
- 26:23Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean I think they we know this organization
- 26:27Speaker 6: is likes guys with versatility, period, right, I mean it's
- 26:31Speaker 6: six superutility guys.
- 26:33Speaker 2: I mean they like before it's Superutility Team.
- 26:37Speaker 6: Yeah, they got like the superutility guys, and so I
- 26:41Speaker 6: mean they're gonna there's not a ton of those aircraft
- 26:43Speaker 6: carriers out there anyways, So you know, you're when you
- 26:46Speaker 6: get down to the next tier of guys, right, the Schwarbers,
- 26:49Speaker 6: the guys like that. You're just like yep in the
- 26:52Speaker 6: game every day you're dh That's all there is to it.
- 26:55Speaker 6: That's there's not a lot of those guys out there,
- 26:58Speaker 6: So you try to find somebody that fits the bill
- 27:00Speaker 6: as that's what you're gonna do majority of the time.
- 27:02Speaker 1: When we want to give our catcher a day off.
- 27:04Speaker 6: Every once in a while, Kyle's gonna need a full
- 27:06Speaker 6: blown day off, right, So where you don't, you can
- 27:09Speaker 6: have your backup catcher in there and he just gets
- 27:11Speaker 6: a day off and comes in a pinch, hits and
- 27:12Speaker 6: wins the game late. But I think that for the
- 27:15Speaker 6: most part you're gonna have. You're gonna go out and
- 27:17Speaker 6: sign somebody that can play a little bit of first,
- 27:18Speaker 6: or can play a little bit of third, or has
- 27:20Speaker 6: done something somewhere and isn't you know, old or just
- 27:24Speaker 6: incompetent when it comes to defense, so that you can
- 27:27Speaker 6: you can have that person, whoever it is you sign
- 27:29Speaker 6: and cal in the lineup on a bunch of days,
- 27:32Speaker 6: you give him day off behind to play well.
- 27:33Speaker 5: The first name comes to minds Geno, because now you
- 27:36Speaker 5: can you can put Williamson and Gino on the roster together. Yeah,
- 27:40Speaker 5: so that means that Gino's your third baseman who gets
- 27:44Speaker 5: defensively replaced late in games when Kyl DH's but Geno
- 27:49Speaker 5: dh is most of the time and you go big
- 27:52Speaker 5: on defense at third base. So that's a possibility. It
- 27:55Speaker 5: makes sense with the Brendan Donovan. Donovan seems like a
- 27:59Speaker 5: decent ass a really good asset to add. He seems
- 28:02Speaker 5: like a wonderful Polanco replacement. He doesn't do anything great defensively,
- 28:07Speaker 5: but he won a Gold Glove as a utility guy,
- 28:09Speaker 5: and we've had one of those before. So he can
- 28:12Speaker 5: play second, he can play third, he can play outfield
- 28:14Speaker 5: even for you and Brendan Donovan, and he can hit,
- 28:17Speaker 5: at least against righties. He can hit, and so that
- 28:19Speaker 5: really makes sense because now he can sort of platoon
- 28:22Speaker 5: if you wanted with a Williamson at third, and then
- 28:26Speaker 5: he can also DH for you. But if he's hot,
- 28:29Speaker 5: you want to keep his bat in the lineup. When
- 28:31Speaker 5: Col's dhing, he's got that position to play. So yes,
- 28:34Speaker 5: this certainly suggests this signing more so than being excited
- 28:39Speaker 5: about Andrew Kisner. It does clarify how they're going to
- 28:43Speaker 5: use this position. He is nothing but a backup catcher,
- 28:48Speaker 5: and now your everyday DH pretty much has to have
- 28:53Speaker 5: defensive flexibility, which is what I think they like anyway.
- 28:57Speaker 1: So that's not going to be a big upset in
- 28:58Speaker 1: this offseason.
- 28:59Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, and ultimately, you think one hundred and
- 29:01Speaker 6: sixty games, and you just said earlier, like every five games,
- 29:05Speaker 6: you don't want to have a situation. I mean, Cal
- 29:07Speaker 6: is still probably at the place where he's not wanting
- 29:10Speaker 6: to have that day of rest, even DH and rest
- 29:14Speaker 6: every five days. He's wanting to be out there. But
- 29:16Speaker 6: they do typically try to find somebody that that backup
- 29:19Speaker 6: catcher connects with as far as the starting rotation goes,
- 29:22Speaker 6: that they start him against that guy. So it'd be
- 29:24Speaker 6: interesting to see if that works out like that.
- 29:25Speaker 2: I do think Cal looked a little tired at the
- 29:27Speaker 2: end of the year last year. He should have. Yeah,
- 29:30Speaker 2: I do think he looked a little tired.
- 29:31Speaker 5: So I know he wants to catch every day and
- 29:33Speaker 5: everything else, but they've got to keep.
- 29:35Speaker 2: Him from himself. And that's what a lot what this
- 29:37Speaker 2: move means. Could we yeah, could we get Kisner to
- 29:40Speaker 2: change the spelling of his name though.
- 29:42Speaker 4: Because it smell it smells like Nissner.
- 29:44Speaker 5: Yeah yeah, all right, coming up next, Seahawks Rams tomorrow.
- 29:51Speaker 5: How big of a role will God play in this game?
- 29:54Speaker 5: Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM.
- 29:57Speaker 2: Feel the beat of the rhythm of the night tomorrow.
- 30:00Speaker 2: That means, don't run just because you think you've got
- 30:03Speaker 2: to run, Okay, and obviously you should know that. Clint,
- 30:05Speaker 2: are we clear?
- 30:07Speaker 4: I think El DeBarge has made this clear.
- 30:09Speaker 5: It's Chuck Buck and Ashley with you. Greg Bell's going
- 30:12Speaker 5: to join us at seven oh five. We also have
- 30:13Speaker 5: your headlines at the top of the hour as well.
- 30:17Speaker 5: So a lot on the Seahawks Rams tomorrow. But weather's
- 30:20Speaker 5: going to play a big role in this game, and
- 30:22Speaker 5: there's really no getting around it. I mean, we might
- 30:25Speaker 5: have gone home yesterday and thought, well, maybe the wind
- 30:27Speaker 5: storm will.
- 30:28Speaker 2: Blow around us.
- 30:30Speaker 5: Well that didn't really happen. Don't know, it didn't happen
- 30:33Speaker 5: when I thought it was going to happen. But obviously
- 30:36Speaker 5: the wind kicked up last night. And so even though
- 30:40Speaker 5: local weather is not one hundred percent accurate, I don't
- 30:43Speaker 5: think we're going to avoid weather tomorrow during the course
- 30:46Speaker 5: of the game.
- 30:47Speaker 1: No zero chance of that.
- 30:48Speaker 6: I mean, I've heard different reports about how much it's
- 30:51Speaker 6: going to rain or if it's going to rain, but
- 30:53Speaker 6: I've heard wind is almost certain. And that's the thing
- 30:57Speaker 6: that Hugh always tells us as the worst part. So
- 31:00Speaker 6: I don't know if that then tells, you know, Clint
- 31:03Speaker 6: Kubiak to not listen to whoever that was DeBarge.
- 31:06Speaker 1: Is that what we.
- 31:06Speaker 6: Say because it's just windy, we have to run even more.
- 31:12Speaker 5: All I'm saying is feel the beat of the rhythm
- 31:15Speaker 5: of the night. Bucky, Ashley and I have been really clear,
- 31:18Speaker 5: and the three of us have been.
- 31:20Speaker 1: We have been, but sometimes the wind affects your rhythm.
- 31:24Speaker 2: Well, that's what I'm saying.
- 31:25Speaker 5: If if the rhythm is that you're actually running the football,
- 31:28Speaker 5: then run the football.
- 31:29Speaker 2: That's where the rhythm takes you. Run.
- 31:30Speaker 6: The rhythm tells you you just can't throw the ball
- 31:33Speaker 6: as well.
- 31:34Speaker 4: Then run the football.
- 31:35Speaker 2: Here's the problem.
- 31:37Speaker 5: What I'm saying is if you're throwing the ball and
- 31:39Speaker 5: you can't run the ball, don't just try to force
- 31:42Speaker 5: a run. It's too big of a game. Feel the
- 31:44Speaker 5: beat of the rhythm of the night. I can't believe
- 31:46Speaker 5: this isn't.
- 31:47Speaker 1: Clear to you.
- 31:47Speaker 4: It's clear.
- 31:47Speaker 6: To Ashley, it's clear. Actually, I understand what you're saying.
- 31:52Speaker 6: I'm saying I'm worried. If there's a possibility of the
- 31:55Speaker 6: wind affecting the throwing of the ball, the capability of
- 31:58Speaker 6: throwing the ball, and then you're still not really running
- 32:01Speaker 6: the ball effectively, then what do you do Here's keep
- 32:04Speaker 6: running the ball and it's not working, or just say hey,
- 32:07Speaker 6: you got to spin it more. It says how you
- 32:09Speaker 6: spin it faster, it cuts through the wind.
- 32:11Speaker 4: What you do is you feel the beat of the
- 32:12Speaker 4: rhythm of the name.
- 32:13Speaker 8: And if you don't feel the beat of the rhythm
- 32:15Speaker 8: of the night, the rhythm is gonna get you, right.
- 32:17Speaker 2: Yeah, Yeah, that's the problem. I don't think Clint Kubiak
- 32:20Speaker 2: realizes that.
- 32:21Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 32:22Speaker 5: See, I always thought Gloria Stefan was really a negative Nancy.
- 32:25Speaker 5: I mean, think about the message she's delivering compared to
- 32:27Speaker 5: our friend optimistic El Debars, right though the bar's a
- 32:31Speaker 5: glass half full pop star, let's say, let's face and Gloria,
- 32:34Speaker 5: I mean, she's killed a few people, let's face it.
- 32:38Speaker 5: She's always tried to put a damper on things. The
- 32:40Speaker 5: rhythm is going to get you. What should I hide
- 32:43Speaker 5: beneath the bed.
- 32:43Speaker 8: Should I be scared of it? Or should I face
- 32:45Speaker 8: it head on? Gloria.
- 32:48Speaker 5: I like El Debarge's message, and I hope Clint Kubiak
- 32:51Speaker 5: is listening to that on the way to work today.
- 32:54Speaker 2: But the weather is going to play a role, There's
- 32:56Speaker 2: no question about it.
- 32:57Speaker 5: And and I do think that wind is the bigger issue.
- 33:02Speaker 2: I don't think temperature is going to be the issue.
- 33:03Speaker 4: I think that.
- 33:04Speaker 5: NFL quarterbacks can throw a wet ball. But wind is
- 33:08Speaker 5: going to be the bigger issue. They're saying eighty eight
- 33:11Speaker 5: percent chanceer rain, but we could have wind up to
- 33:15Speaker 5: twenty miles per hour. And I don't know if you've
- 33:17Speaker 5: ever played any kind of sport out in twenty mile
- 33:19Speaker 5: per hour weather, but it pretty much affects us about
- 33:22Speaker 5: any sport that you're playing, and it certainly is going
- 33:24Speaker 5: to play affect football. And to Bucky's point, it's going
- 33:27Speaker 5: to affect the passing game more so than the running game.
- 33:30Speaker 4: That's very clear.
- 33:31Speaker 2: Shouln't even have to state that.
- 33:32Speaker 5: But it's also going to affect the kicking game, right,
- 33:34Speaker 5: and that's been something that we have relied on too
- 33:39Speaker 5: heavily as of late now maybe that gives us a
- 33:42Speaker 5: little bit of an advantage. Maybe Myers is just that good.
- 33:45Speaker 5: Maybe he's that used to how the wind blows at
- 33:47Speaker 5: our stadium versus Josh Cardy, who's used to kicking indoors
- 33:51Speaker 5: for his home games. So maybe we want to win
- 33:54Speaker 5: because our kickers better and our kickers more accustomed to
- 33:58Speaker 5: the elements. Maybe that will actually benefit us in the
- 34:02Speaker 5: long run. But certainly the kicking game is going to
- 34:04Speaker 5: be affected tomorrow, there's no getting around it.
- 34:06Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 34:06Speaker 6: Well, if you get to kick with the win, we
- 34:08Speaker 6: might see an eighty seven yard field goal.
- 34:10Speaker 2: Yeah, tomorrow, you'll have to move one yard.
- 34:13Speaker 6: And on the flip side of it, if if you're
- 34:15Speaker 6: going into the wind, you might get what you like,
- 34:18Speaker 6: which is go for it on fourth down. A bunch
- 34:20Speaker 6: like you can't kick into that, Yeah, you kid, just
- 34:22Speaker 6: can't do it, And so that you go for it, it
- 34:25Speaker 6: could be interesting. I mean, I don't I don't love
- 34:29Speaker 6: weather games when the weather overtakes the game. But I
- 34:32Speaker 6: actually there's part of me that every once in a
- 34:33Speaker 6: while doesn't mind it watching a game like that because
- 34:36Speaker 6: it's then you have to adapt and overcome, you have
- 34:38Speaker 6: to figure out different ways that's the beauty of a full,
- 34:41Speaker 6: well rounded team, right, I mean your defense. Usually you
- 34:45Speaker 6: can get a real defensive slug fest if the weather's
- 34:48Speaker 6: real bad, and so both defense have to show up.
- 34:50Speaker 6: But then it's like which offense can find a way
- 34:53Speaker 6: to move the chains enough to punch it in the
- 34:54Speaker 6: end zone once or twice and that might be enough.
- 34:57Speaker 6: So it'll be interesting depending on how the weather is.
- 34:59Speaker 6: I hope it's not too terribly windy, because I don't
- 35:01Speaker 6: want to see it to where it's just a defensive
- 35:03Speaker 6: thing where.
- 35:04Speaker 1: I don't neither team can pass at all.
- 35:07Speaker 8: I don't want it to see it pooring neither. And
- 35:09Speaker 8: it's also supposed to be cold. It's supposed to feel
- 35:11Speaker 8: like it's thirty nine, which we would be probably more
- 35:14Speaker 8: used to than they would just temperature wise.
- 35:17Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't think temperature will be a factor, but
- 35:20Speaker 5: wind certainly can be, and so we shall see.
- 35:24Speaker 4: I do like the idea though, that.
- 35:26Speaker 5: Kirk Herb Street at some point tomorrow night will say
- 35:29Speaker 5: bad news is Seahawks start this drive at their own
- 35:31Speaker 5: four yard line.
- 35:32Speaker 2: Good news is they're in field goal range.
- 35:34Speaker 5: I can't right, all right, Greg Bell's next Sports Radio
