  Speaker 1: to sleep since last night. I have no idea, but
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: it's great to have you with us on this Monday.

  Speaker 2: We're champions of the world.

  Speaker 3: Champions of the world.
• 0:20
  Speaker 4: Oh my gosh. Something kind of a big deal. Yeah,
• 0:24
  Speaker 4: the Super Bowl and in decisive fact fashion, I mean
• 0:28
  Speaker 4: went out there and absolutely put it on.
• 0:30
  Speaker 3: That was a that was a game, that was a.
• 0:32
  Speaker 4: I mean, going into it, you kind of we all
• 0:35
  Speaker 4: week heard people talking. We were talking to people about
• 0:38
  Speaker 4: how you compare this team to the other team. They
• 0:40
  Speaker 4: were the favorites going in, felt like they should win.
• 0:43
  Speaker 4: I don't know if you could ask for much better
• 0:45
  Speaker 4: from the team.
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: I mean just from.
• 0:48
  Speaker 4: Top to bottom, Jody Allen down to I don't know
• 0:51
  Speaker 4: who the water boy is, but that guy did a.
• 0:53
  Speaker 5: Damn Bobby Bouche. Bobby, we don't we don't really cut
• 0:57
  Speaker 5: corners in this organization. You get the best one out there. Yeah,
• 1:00
  Speaker 5: Bobby Bouchet is the best water boy. See John Schneider
• 1:04
  Speaker 5: gets them.
• 1:04
  Speaker 4: Yeah, performance enhancing in that Iceberg water that he was
• 1:10
  Speaker 4: serving up because it looked like there was something special
• 1:12
  Speaker 4: going on there. That was an absolute clinic they put on,
• 1:15
  Speaker 4: and I mean to finish what you felt they were
• 1:19
  Speaker 4: going to do. I mean, it seemed like they were
• 1:21
  Speaker 4: the best team going into it, and they proved that
• 1:24
  Speaker 4: they were pretty much from starting to finish. Uh, yeah,
• 1:27
  Speaker 4: it was. I sent out a text you guys said,
• 1:29
  Speaker 4: I said, go Hawks. You did not a lot of those.
• 1:32
  Speaker 4: I don't do a lot of those texts, but I
• 1:34
  Speaker 4: did say it yesterday. And that was a damn, damn good.
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: Win Chimpian Ashley Champion.
• 1:40
  Speaker 6: It was awesome and I was so nervous. Just I
• 1:43
  Speaker 6: don't I wasn't nervous that I thought.
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: We were gonna lose.
• 1:46
  Speaker 6: It was just the nerves and the excitement and the okay,
• 1:48
  Speaker 6: let's get this going.
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: For the first half, I just paced. So we had
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: a house full of people.
• 1:52
  Speaker 6: And I was standing by the wall over here, and
• 1:55
  Speaker 6: then I'd stand by the wall over here, and then
• 1:57
  Speaker 6: I'd stand by the wall over here. Everyone's sitting in
• 1:59
  Speaker 6: their comfort and I.
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: Was like, no, not yet.
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: I do not get to sit yet.
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: I have not earned it yet. Well, what a team,
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: what a season.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: What an organization, What a fun ride it has been,
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: and it is a little sweeter when it I mean,
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: I think we had pretty lofty expectations on this radio station.
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: I think here on this.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: Radio show we sort of thought that the National Football
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: League Vegas was sleeping on this team. But still, I mean,
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: this is a team that started the year with Vegas
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: saying they're over and under was eight and a half
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: people predicting that they'd finish last in the NFC West.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: Not everybody, but certainly a few.
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: It was.
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: It was more than one.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: And to go on this kind of a ride and
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: see this thing come together and have such a likable
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: group as well from beginning of the season to the
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: end of the season, and it's that magical carpet ride.
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: It is what sport should be.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: It's why college football should have been ashamed of itself
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: for one hundred years with their playoff format that they had.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: It's that test that a full season Bucky puts you through,
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: where you're are tasked as a coaching staff and as
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: players that we want to get better and better and
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: better as the season goes along, and then by the end.
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: Want to be playing our best football.
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: When we have a chance to win it all.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: And that's exactly what happened in this organization. It was
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: a beautiful season for this team, incredible job as you mentioned,
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: from top down, and man, you just had to love
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: it all.
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: You just had to soak it all up.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: I mean, maybe you had a little bit of a
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: third fourth quarter, man, considering how we've dominated this game.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: Why are we only up twelve? Maybe you had that moment,
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: that little twitch somewhere in the early in the fourth quarter,
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: especially when they got the ball back on downs after
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: scoring the first touchdown. But for the most part, that
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: was about as easy a championship viewing as you can have, I.
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: Mean, other than forty three to eight. But I didn't
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: mean to bring that.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: Up, but I mean right, it was just one of
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: those that there have been a few in Super Bowl history,
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: but we've had a lot of tight games in recent
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: years in the Super Bowl. But that was that was
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: pretty easy compared to what sometimes the championship game can.
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: Do to your cut.
• 4:26
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: Well, I mean the yeah, the score didn't really show
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: even at the end. The score didn't show how dominant
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: that game was. But the score is the score. And
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: yet I mean I don't know when it felt to
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: you guys. I'm sure to a lot of people it
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: was somewhat different. But I mean kind of felt like
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: once I got to twelve, like, well, I don't know
• 4:43
  Speaker 4: for sure if the Patriots can get to twelve. I
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: mean it felt kind of insurmountable. Obviously, we even know
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: even after the third field goal that would have been enough.
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: It was great all the way around. I mean, the
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: game plan wasn't perfect. I'm sure that Hugh will come
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: in here and and tell us there was a couple
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: of missed throws. We saw some I mean there was
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: a couple things that you know, he could have, you know,
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: taken advantage of, but he was under pressure. I mean,
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: that was a good defense, and the Patriots came out
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: to play defensively. It most certainly looked like Drake May
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: you know, he wasn't seeing ghosts, but they looked like
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: the game was moving really fast for him. But instead
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: of taking away from him, I think you just give
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: the credit to the Seahawks defense. I mean the way
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: in which Mike McDonald had him ramped up, then the
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: game plan and you know, he was kind of wasn't
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: pulling any punches he was sending them after him, and
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: I think that it sounded like from all of the
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: interviews afterwards that the defenders the Seahawks knew if they
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: got to him made him uncomfortable, that they felt that
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: that was kind of their key to success. And they
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: most certainly did that. I mean they did that and
• 5:47
  Speaker 4: then some well, and.
• 5:48
  Speaker 6: The fact that the Patriots hadn't really been able to
• 5:51
  Speaker 6: run the ball very well in the playoffs, and so
• 5:53
  Speaker 6: you were kind of wondering, well, has it been a
• 5:55
  Speaker 6: weather thing or has it been this? Are they going
• 5:57
  Speaker 6: to be able to run it against the Seahawks in
• 5:58
  Speaker 6: seventy nine yards rushing? Okay, yeah, good work.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: I think it was a weather thing to a degree.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: It wasn't the whole story. But last night they just
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: ran into a wheat thrusher. I mean that was just
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: that was a meat grinder that they were running into,
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: both trying to throw the ball and run the ball.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: Just an incredible performance, and we're going to dive into
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: it over the course of our four hours together.
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: The most special Monday morning.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: Quarterback, certainly in my time doing mornings here at the
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: Great Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM. Our experts
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: are on the way. We'll tell you what's on tap
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: in a moment, but before we really start to get
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: into this game, sink our teeth into it. Just again.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: You are champions this morning. You woke up champions. And
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: I don't care if you ended up, you know, falling
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: asleep drunk, with your face buried in your carpet and
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: in a pool of your own fluid zone.
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: I don't care. You woke up this morning a champion. Yeah.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: And your children who were going to school this morning,
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: you want you know how they went to school today
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: as champions? Darn right?
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: Your dog you caught.
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: It, you know, licking itself again.
• 7:06
  Speaker 6: Champion dog, yeah, champion dog licker.
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: So what a what a special feeling, what a special
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: week it's going to be.
• 7:14
  Speaker 7: Uh.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: Steve Rabel I think said it in his call that
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: we're going to uh Seattle's going to celebrate this for days.
• 7:21
  Speaker 7: Uh.
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: And there's no doubt when we have news on the parade,
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: we'll let it. We'll let you know.
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: And by the way, Jermaine Wiggins, I'm not sure he's
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: gonna make it. Oh, the Patriots tied end turned w
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: e E.
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: I talk shows, but I did invite him last week.
• 7:36
  Speaker 6: Well, he said he wanted to go to a loser's
• 7:37
  Speaker 6: parade when you invited him, so he might not might
• 7:40
  Speaker 6: stay in New England.
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: Yeaht them.
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well at least we don't have to pony up
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: the bill for that.
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: So congratulations everybody.
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: I mean, I think that the sports fan it is
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: so much more personal to them now than it's ever
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: been in the history of sports. And so yeah, go
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: ahead and wear it. I mean, you don't get a ring,
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: you don't probably get to touch or kiss the trophy,
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: but I think a fan feels as much a part
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: of the championship experience in sports than ever before in history.
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: And so soak it up yourselves. You are champions this morning, Seattle.
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: It feels pretty good. It reels pretty good.
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: And you know, I mean, Mike McDonald to me, where
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: the conversation starts about the game, I mean it was
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: you talked about how the final score might be not
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: be indicative of.
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: How the game went. Whenever somebody looks.
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: Up these stats twenty years ago, twenty years from now,
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: I don't know, five years from now, you know they're
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: going to see final statistics of the New England Patriots well,
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: they actually hung in there. I'm surprised twenty nine thirteen
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: was the final. I mean, the Patriots ended up with
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: three hundred and thirty one yards of offense.
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: We had three thirty five.
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: The Patriots ended up with two hundred and fifty two
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: passing your Drake May had nearly three hundred passing yards
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: in that game last night. Somehow, Yeah, those ended up
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: being the final statistics. But if you just viewed the
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: statistics five ten years from now, you know, some kid
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: right now is five years old, looks this up when
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: he's fifteen years old. Hey, dad, I thought you said
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: we dominated that game, and it might not look like
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: that on paper, But at the end of the third quarter,
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: when it was twelve to nothing, still was twelve to nothing.
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: Twenty nine thirteen ended up being the final scores. Twelve
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: to nothing. At the end of the third quarter, the
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: New England Patriots had seventy eight total yards. Seventy eight
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: total yards through three quarters. Drake May was eight for
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: eighteen for sixty one yards, and they'd only had seventeen yards.
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: You can do the deduction seventeen rushing yards to that
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: point in the entire through three quarters seventy eight yards.
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: I mean, imagine getting to the Super Bowl and you
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: are on pace to allow all one hundred total yards
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: in the game. That's that was the game. The fourth
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: quarter ended up taking on a different identity from that
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: point forward. We hadn't even scored a touchdown until the
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: fourth quarter, but it took on a different identity and
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: the Patriots got some mop up points. But this game
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: may not, based on the statistics, be forever known as
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: one of the great defensive performances in NFL history. But
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: make no mistake about it. Collinsworth was talking about it
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: going into the fourth quarter. That was the most dominant
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: defensive performance in Super Bowl history right there. I mean,
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: they just slammed the door on everything the Patriots wanted
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: to do for three straight quarters. And keep in mind,
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: their offensive coordinator was the assistant coach of the Year.
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: In the National Football League.
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: Guy that's got a few championship rings, and here's our
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: thirty eight year old head coach, the only guys whoever
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: call defensive plays as a head coach and Super Bowl history,
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: and he just wiped the floor with Josh McDaniels.
• 11:07
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean they to think that their first you know,
• 11:11
  Speaker 4: the Seahawks get the ball, go down and they get
• 11:13
  Speaker 4: that field goal. The Patriots first drive where I think
• 11:17
  Speaker 4: they had like eight plays for thirty yards or something
• 11:20
  Speaker 4: less than thirty yards, that was their best drive of
• 11:23
  Speaker 4: the first half. Like it was like it all was
• 11:25
  Speaker 4: downhill from there. What yeah, what, But that is exactly
• 11:29
  Speaker 4: what it was. It was kind of like he came
• 11:31
  Speaker 4: out with his script of plays and it got a
• 11:33
  Speaker 4: couple first downs and and you thought, okay, you know,
• 11:36
  Speaker 4: Drake made didn't look overly flustered. Both teams, including the
• 11:41
  Speaker 4: Seahawks from the get go. I mean, Sam Darnold was
• 11:43
  Speaker 4: under pressure, but he still made some throws under pressure,
• 11:47
  Speaker 4: he still made some plays.
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: I mean Drake may said escaping he got. He escaped
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: a lot better than what Drake made.
• 11:52
  Speaker 4: He most certainly escaped, moved around in the pocket, but
• 11:55
  Speaker 4: then even delivered. There was a couple of good throws
• 11:57
  Speaker 4: that he made. I mean one hit you know Jackson
• 11:59
  Speaker 4: Smith than his hands that he didn't catch on that one.
• 12:01
  Speaker 4: But you don't expect him to be necessarily perfect, but
• 12:04
  Speaker 4: that was one like he was letting it rip. Because
• 12:07
  Speaker 4: you saw the replay of that throw in particular, it
• 12:09
  Speaker 4: was like the guy was kind of cutting out towards
• 12:11
  Speaker 4: the sideline and it looked like he was covered, and
• 12:13
  Speaker 4: yet he threw it to an open spot and sure enough,
• 12:15
  Speaker 4: the Jackson Smith kind of zoomed past the defender and
• 12:19
  Speaker 4: almost brought it in. But it just was one of
• 12:21
  Speaker 4: those where you could kind of feel like, Okay, who's
• 12:23
  Speaker 4: going to make a mistake or who's going to make
• 12:25
  Speaker 4: the big play? And whenever you needed it, the Seahawks
• 12:28
  Speaker 4: made enough of those plays and Drake May as the
• 12:31
  Speaker 4: pressure started to mount, I mean the pressure from the defense,
• 12:35
  Speaker 4: not the pressure from the outside world. The pressure from
• 12:37
  Speaker 4: the defense continued to come. It seemed like he was
• 12:39
  Speaker 4: getting more and more rattled, like, man, I have no time.
• 12:42
  Speaker 4: Nothing is working the way it's supposed to work, And
• 12:45
  Speaker 4: you're right, that boils down to I mean, I think
• 12:48
  Speaker 4: you got to give a lot of credit to John
• 12:50
  Speaker 4: Schneider and how he's put this team together for his
• 12:54
  Speaker 4: second second Super Bowl with his club. But the way
• 12:57
  Speaker 4: in which Mike McDonald had everybody believe in the humility
• 13:01
  Speaker 4: that he kind of does it with it was kind
• 13:02
  Speaker 4: of what twelve is one, and it just it was impeccable.
• 13:07
  Speaker 4: The way in which they played, even though it wasn't perfect,
• 13:09
  Speaker 4: if that makes sense. It just seemed like, Nope, this
• 13:12
  Speaker 4: is our game plan. You're not going to beat us.
• 13:14
  Speaker 4: We know what we're capable of. And they did exactly
• 13:16
  Speaker 4: what they needed to do to make it look far
• 13:19
  Speaker 4: more dominating than even the field goals were adding up to,
• 13:22
  Speaker 4: like you said, up until the fourth quarter.
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: Well, and you could see too. In that game.
• 13:25
  Speaker 6: I thought there was a lot of kind of pretty
• 13:28
  Speaker 6: good examples of what Hugh talks about, where Sam has
• 13:30
  Speaker 6: those turnover worthy plays and that he had just bad
• 13:33
  Speaker 6: luck at times, like more bad luck than other people.
• 13:36
  Speaker 6: I mean some of those passes he zips in, It's like,
• 13:38
  Speaker 6: oh that was that was nerve wrecking.
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: Throw him in a mailbox? Yeah, he really did, especially early. Yeah,
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: he was taking those rests.
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: I think he was told early like, Okay, we don't
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: need to take those resks.
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah, maybe we are dominating.
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: Defensively, let's back off of some of those trying to
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: throw it in a mailbox through a hurricane, yeah.
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: Kind of throws. And he did stop doing that.
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah in that first quarter.
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I was like, oh gosh.
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, there were like three moments that very close to
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: pick sixes in that game, and then obviously that changes
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: the game entirely if that occurs. But fortunately those were
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: the turnover worthy plays that he escaped, and a lot
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: of times you do escape without harm and he ends up.
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: He ends up. Sam Darnold, mister turnover.
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: How many times did we have to discuss this and
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: in some ways dispel this or try to dispel this
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: first time in NFL history that a team has gone
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: through the playoffs without a turnover, so.
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: They were clean throughout the.
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: Entire playoffs, and then just let the defense do its work.
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: And I would just say this, and you know, look,
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: we have a lot of experts on today. We're gonna
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: take some phone calls, We're going to play some audio
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: from yesterday.
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: Coach Bucket will stop by all that stuff.
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: So I don't know how much time that we will
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: actually have to talk about this game ourselves, But I
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: just want to highlight I really, I mean, as John
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: Schneider was runaway Executive of the Year. I think he
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: had a perfect offseason this past year, and damn near
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: the last three years he's just been on his A game,
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: there's no question about it, close to a plus game.
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: But I do believe Mike McDonald is the key to
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: all of this, and I think we've got the best
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: defensive mind in the entire world right now.
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: We have somebody that, even though he's.
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: Got an odd personality certainly different than Pete's, has galvanized
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: this locker room like I've never seen it galvanized in
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: my ten years of being here in Seattle. And even
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: the executive decisions made by John Schneider, if you remember
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: when he took over at the beginning of last year,
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: he almost showed too much respect to John and his
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: history and his resume. He let him hire his own
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: offensive coordinator. Ryan Grubb, was John Schneider's idea, and Mike
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: McDonald knew early last season this isn't the right guy.
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: And he had he played out the year, but he
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: knew early that this isn't the right guy. The linebackers
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: Baker had two seasons ago was not a perfect offseason
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: for John Schneider, and it was Mike McDonald who, after
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: a month or two had enough confidence to say, we
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: don't have the right linebackers, not for my system. I
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: need something. I need an Ernest Jones type. And they
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: went out and got Ernest Jones. So John Schneider's been
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: fantastic ever since Mike McDonald, ever since he hired Mike McDonald.
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: But I think Mike McDonald has actually been better. And
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: I think that the two of them together, if we
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: can keep them together for a long time, this might
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: be the start of a really special run. So to me,
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: I mean, ken Walker really well deserved MVP. It's too
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: bad you can't give it to an entire defense the award,
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: and it's too bad you can't get it to a
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: coach because I would have given the MVP trophy.
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: To Mike McDonald. I really would have. And we'll talk
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: about it during our four hours together.
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: But let's find out what is on tap today?
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: What's on tep?
• 17:05
  Speaker 7: What's on tep?
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: Even that neighbor who leaves his trash out on the
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: curb for too long, he's a champion today.
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, just keep that in mind.
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: Even the mail carrier who drives too fast through the
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: neighborhood champion.
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: He earned it. He earned it.
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, let's find out what's on tap. The
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: most special Monday morning quarterback in my tenure here in Seattle,
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: that's for sure.
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: Greg Bell at seven o five. Hugh Mellon starts with
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: us at eight o'clock.
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: He did a long postgame show with Dick Fane last night,
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: but be back with us at eight o'clock today. Mike Holmgren,
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: I'm assuming in studio today at nine o'clock, so we'll
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: have a coach and Hugh together from nine to ten.
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: As I mentioned, we'll hear audio from Mike McDonald, Willler Hill,
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: phone calls from you. We've got other Super Bowl audio
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: that will play, so it's a it's an all Sea
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: Hawks show. We're not gonna he's in any crack and
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: trading deadline talk today. That's not going to harr Yeah, sorry,
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: sorry if that disappoints some. It is the second Super
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: Bowl title in franchise history Kenneth Walker. The third was
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: named Super Bowl sixty MVP, and he earned it. And
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: Clint Kubiak announced last night on the field and an
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: interview on NFL Network.
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: That he's the Raiders head coach. It's a done deal.
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: And so we know that the off season begins today
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: with John Schneider trying to find and he's probably already
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: got his guy tabbed, his brand new offensive coordinator for
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: next season. The NFL offseason is underway, believe it or not.
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: The NFL Combine is in two weeks from now, and
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: the tampering period is going to begin in one month
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: from now, so we'll be at free agency in exactly
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: one month, and there'll be time, certainly to talk about that. Finally,
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: Olympics are underway. Didn't really pay much attention to you, Milan. Sorry,
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: it seems to We got a lot on our plate
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: right now. And in some places in America, pitchers and
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: catchers have already reported for spring training. The Mariners will
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: report tomorrow and they will have their first practice on
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: the twelfth of March, which is on Thursday. Bucky and
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: I will be there by Saturday. We will be recording
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: interviews by Sunday and on Monday. The baseball season is here,
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: so we better get in a lot of Super Bowl
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: talking the next five days.
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: And we got you covered all right.
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: Coming up next year on Chuck and Buck, the Super

  Speaker 6: to the Patriots. M.
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: That's like saying you're a pretty good play by play man.
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: Think about think about how much that would sting you.
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: It hurts you in the heart, doesn't this right?
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: Good morning everyone, and happy Monday to you. The greatest
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: Monday Morning quarterback session ever is about ready to take place,
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: starting with Greg Bell here in a couple of minutes,
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: our Seahawks insider hughes on his way at eight o'clock,
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: coaches on his way at nine o'clock. And so what
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: do we have to analyze? Oh, no big deal, just a.
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: Super bult heavy and ship.
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: They Seeattle Seahawks, our world champs as of last night,
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: rolling into this morning and for the rest of their lives.
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: And you two, whether you're listening at home, or you're
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: listening at work, or if you're riding a horse out
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: in the prairie and you could take iHeart with you.
• 21:17
  Speaker 3: Wow.
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: Apparently we got some strong capabilities.
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: Yea, you are a champion too, Act like it, strut
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: like it. We're all champions out Yeah, put that chin up, walk.
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: Tall, uh huh, maybe gloat a little bit.
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, stop squeezing that tight end, rub it, let your
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: tight end out. Yeah. Welcome into the radio show. We
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: roll into our seven o'clock hour here on this super Monday,
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: as we are all champions here today. Greg Bell's gonna
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: join us in about a minute and a half. Can't
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: wait to get our Seahawks insiders thoughts. Let me first
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: let you know about frost brewed Cores, light choice, chill headlines.
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: Here today the Seahawks twenty nine to thirteen winners over
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: the New England Patriots. The highlight courtesy of Westwood One.
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: As the Seahawks dominated, allowing just seventy eight yards of
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: total offense through three quarters, Patriots ended up racking up
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: quite a few yards in that fourth quarter, but the
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: game had already been decided for the most part, and
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: the Seahawks celebrate their second Super Bowl title in franchise history.
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: The defense was the real story, but Ken Walker, the
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: third ignited what offense that you did need for the
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: game last night, and he was rewarded with Super Bowl
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: sixty MVP. Clint Kubiak, Boy, he didn't beat around the bush.
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: He didn't even get off the field before letting the
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: NFL network know that he is absolutely going to be
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: the next head coach of the Las Vegas Raiders. So
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: the offseason begins immediately. I'm sure it's already begun for
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: John Schneider. I'm sure he's already tabbed the offensive coordinator.
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: He would like Clint Kobe to replace Clint Kubiak, but
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: Kubiak is going to be with the race. We should
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: get an official announcement, I would imagine today the NFL
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: offseason has begun. We are just two weeks away from
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: the NFL Combine, if you can believe it, and just
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: one month away from the free agency frenzy beginning in
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: the National Football League. In the meantime, baseball season is here.
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: Pitchers and catchers have reported in some major league cities. Meanwhile,
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: the Mariners will report tomorrow. On Thursday, they will have
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: their first workout and then the whole group, the whole shebang,
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: will be together in eight days on the seventeenth. Bucky
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: and I will be back there to greet them all
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: next weeks. And so here we go. We're ready to transition,
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: but not after a week, not until after a week
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: of celebrating the Seahawks Super Bowl championship. So let's find
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: out more about last night from our Seahawks insider.
• 23:52

• 24:16
  Speaker 2: Good morning, Greg, Good morning.
• 24:20
  Speaker 3: How are you doing.
• 24:22
  Speaker 7: Tired?
• 24:24
  Speaker 3: What time did you get What time did you get
• 24:26
  Speaker 3: home last night?
• 24:29
  Speaker 7: About two two?
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: Okay, all right, that's the Yeah.
• 24:34
  Speaker 7: I'm not I'm in San Francisco. Yeah, yeah, that would
• 24:39
  Speaker 7: be I'd have to have a private jet.
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what I meant. What time did you get
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: out of the stadium last night?
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: All right?
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: So, so I mean I don't want to lead you anywhere.
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: I mean the team you cover won at second Super
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: Bowl and franchise history.
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: Where does the conversation start with you? The morning after.
• 25:05
  Speaker 7: Mike McDonald's defense, I mean, it went exactly I packed
• 25:09
  Speaker 7: the brag. It went exactly as I told you would happen.
• 25:12
  Speaker 7: The defense was going to throttle Drake May that the
• 25:15
  Speaker 7: game plan was to just siege him, and they did.
• 25:19
  Speaker 7: Jenn and Wills, who was telling me last night that
• 25:22
  Speaker 7: they knew that the whole team was Drake mag and
• 25:25
  Speaker 7: if they affected him and blitzed him inside much more
• 25:29
  Speaker 7: than Mike McDonald had blitzed probably all seasons, certainly over
• 25:33
  Speaker 7: the latter half of the season, and they knew they
• 25:35
  Speaker 7: could get after him and then they'd win the game
• 25:37
  Speaker 7: that way. They'd scored enough points on offense where it
• 25:41
  Speaker 7: really didn't matter, and that's what happened, nineteen to nothing
• 25:45
  Speaker 7: early in the fourth. I'd forget the yardy. The statistics
• 25:48
  Speaker 7: are just skewed from the game last night. The total
• 25:52
  Speaker 7: yardage ended up almost the same. Yeah, and the Patriots
• 25:55
  Speaker 7: got most of those in garbage time. Speaking of statistics,
• 25:59
  Speaker 7: I voted Devin Witherspoon for MVP. There were three of
• 26:03
  Speaker 7: us in the Seattle media contingent that had MVP votes.
• 26:06
  Speaker 7: The league gave us the opportunity for that. I think
• 26:09
  Speaker 7: it was sixteen to twenty might bee more than that
• 26:12
  Speaker 7: overall MVP votes. And I Kenneth Walker was absolutely deserving,
• 26:18
  Speaker 7: and I'm not trying to say it wasn't, but him
• 26:20
  Speaker 7: winning the MVP award is purely a statistical Somebody just
• 26:24
  Speaker 7: looked at a status. She said, whosha I pick. Nobody
• 26:27
  Speaker 7: who watched that game didn't think the most valuable part
• 26:30
  Speaker 7: of that team was the defense. And nobody who truly
• 26:33
  Speaker 7: watched the game didn't see Devin Witherspoon and Derek Hall
• 26:37
  Speaker 7: is probably two of the more deserving ones, which you
• 26:39
  Speaker 7: could have said Byron Murphy with two sacks. But there's
• 26:43
  Speaker 7: only been six eight, eight defensive mvts in the sixty
• 26:50
  Speaker 7: year history of the Super Bowl, and I thought an
• 26:53
  Speaker 7: MVP vote to a defensive player would have been symbolic
• 26:56
  Speaker 7: for the reason the Seahawks won the Super Bowl. I
• 26:59
  Speaker 7: wish Seahawk fans back in Seattle could have been in
• 27:01
  Speaker 7: the locker room after the game. It was a celebration
• 27:04
  Speaker 7: of nearly fifty years of Seahawks football. But it was
• 27:10
  Speaker 7: everything you could imagine it would have been their Karen
• 27:12
  Speaker 7: champagne bottles and Don Julio bottles, and none of them
• 27:16
  Speaker 7: were very full and cigar smoked just you know, usually
• 27:22
  Speaker 7: they the pro sport athletes put ski goggles on to
• 27:28
  Speaker 7: keep champagne out of their eyes. Right. I really think
• 27:31
  Speaker 7: some of the guys are wearing the ski goggles to
• 27:33
  Speaker 7: keep the cigar smoke out of their eyes because you
• 27:35
  Speaker 7: couldn't see from one side of the locker room to
• 27:38
  Speaker 7: the other. They're all taking thirds of hoisting the Lombardi
• 27:42
  Speaker 7: Trophy imposing for that. And Sam Darno and the Marcus
• 27:45
  Speaker 7: Lawrence talking in the middle of the locker room twenty
• 27:48
  Speaker 7: years combined of the NFL careers for those two and
• 27:52
  Speaker 7: this is their first Super Bowl championship. And John Schneider
• 27:57
  Speaker 7: and right in the middle of it all talking about
• 27:59
  Speaker 7: how difficult. I asked them, how long is this to
• 28:02
  Speaker 7: do this twice with two different games and going starting over.
• 28:06
  Speaker 7: He's say this was a mountain to climb twice, and
• 28:11
  Speaker 7: he's done it. He's really ushered in an incredible run
• 28:16
  Speaker 7: of Seahawks football.
• 28:18
  Speaker 4: Without a doubt. I mean, the Mike McDonald led defense.
• 28:22
  Speaker 4: I mean, now that it's culminated in a super Bowl
• 28:25
  Speaker 4: and being champions. I mean, they kind of keep some
• 28:28
  Speaker 4: things close to the vest about what they do and
• 28:30
  Speaker 4: they give you a little SoundBite or slogans that they
• 28:32
  Speaker 4: kind of go by. But is there a slogan that
• 28:35
  Speaker 4: you would say best personifies this team or is it
• 28:39
  Speaker 4: did you learn anything new in the locker room after
• 28:42
  Speaker 4: they are hoisting the trophy that that was just like,
• 28:45
  Speaker 4: this is all of it encompassing with you know, the
• 28:47
  Speaker 4: beyond just the chasing edges or you know, cool and
• 28:50
  Speaker 4: calm or whatever. There's relaxed and focused and I mean,
• 28:54
  Speaker 4: what is it that you would say Mike McDonald's mo
• 28:56
  Speaker 4: of this championship team.
• 28:58
  Speaker 7: Is twelve is one bucky. I mean to me, that
• 29:02
  Speaker 7: is the most symbolic of what Mike McDonald has built
• 29:05
  Speaker 7: in the culture. He's built culture matters the intangibles of
• 29:10
  Speaker 7: togetherness and the want to and direction and clarity of mission.
• 29:17
  Speaker 7: Mike McDonald is so clear and so consistent, and the
• 29:21
  Speaker 7: players were either going to get along and adopt that
• 29:26
  Speaker 7: or they weren't going to be here. As Sam Darod
• 29:28
  Speaker 7: explained afterwards, and you can deduce from a couple of
• 29:31
  Speaker 7: things who he means by I didn't want to weren't
• 29:34
  Speaker 7: going to be here as the quarterbacks starting to be
• 29:37
  Speaker 7: number one, they chose guys that they knew would lead
• 29:42
  Speaker 7: what McDonald wanted to lead, and that was this complete
• 29:46
  Speaker 7: buy in guys like the Marcus Lawrence who were going
• 29:49
  Speaker 7: the epitome of practicing back in April and May. In
• 29:52
  Speaker 7: April and May, oh May, in many camps and otis.
• 29:56
  Speaker 7: Mike McDonald was telling us about the buy in of
• 29:59
  Speaker 7: this team. I mentioned back then to you guys about
• 30:02
  Speaker 7: one hundred percent participation in off season voluntary activity. So
• 30:06
  Speaker 7: it's just unheard of it in this league. I mean
• 30:07
  Speaker 7: one hundred percent. Jonathan Ankins was the only one who
• 30:10
  Speaker 7: wasn't there, and he never was there. He never did
• 30:12
  Speaker 7: show up. He's basically retired. And that was the only
• 30:16
  Speaker 7: veteran that was the only guy under contract who didn't
• 30:19
  Speaker 7: come in May and June to all the voluntary things
• 30:23
  Speaker 7: and OTA's and mini camps and meetings and workouts in
• 30:27
  Speaker 7: the weight room in May June, when guys are usually
• 30:30
  Speaker 7: on a beach who're making up reasons to not come,
• 30:33
  Speaker 7: and nobody back to I in the league, that's just
• 30:35
  Speaker 7: part of the deal. Well, not in Seattle, and at
• 30:37
  Speaker 7: that time is when mcconams ad a ht. What I'm
• 30:40
  Speaker 7: trying to instill is actually sticking and all the other
• 30:44
  Speaker 7: things about the blitzing and the disguising and changing positions
• 30:47
  Speaker 7: at the snap and all of that only comes after
• 30:50
  Speaker 7: the buy in and the buy in of everyone pulling
• 30:54
  Speaker 7: together in a common goal. You knew a lot of
• 30:57
  Speaker 7: things in life and a lot of walks of life.
• 30:59
  Speaker 7: You've got that with a group of people, and the
• 31:01
  Speaker 7: Seahawks had that in their sport and their profession better
• 31:05
  Speaker 7: than anybody in the world, better than any football team
• 31:08
  Speaker 7: in the world. I think last night, I think twenty
• 31:11
  Speaker 7: games proved that.
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: Greg bellis with us our Seahawks insider from the News Tribune.
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: Complete coverage of the Seahawks Super Bowl win yesterday available
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: at the Newstribune dot com. He stayed up till two
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: o'clock in the morning last night, so you owe it
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: to him to read every single word that he wrote,
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: every single article that he pieced together, every single interview
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: that he did, and he's joining us here this morning
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: on Chuck and Buck for some nitty gritty information as
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: to what he saw behind the scenes. You know what
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: I mean, I love the Sam Darnald story. I just
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: love the Samdarnald demeanor. I think my favorite part about it.
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: And I don't really blame the media for bringing up
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: the redemption story. I get that it's a story everywhere,
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: but I love that he just deflects it like he's
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: sick of it. Like case, he doesn't view it that way.
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: He kind of views it as a journey in life.
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: And so yes, for everybody else out there, it looks
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: like a redemption story. I love that Sam Darnold has
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: this air. Greg of I had some bumps along the way,
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: but I kind of always expected to do this.
• 32:17
  Speaker 7: He did, And you're exactly right. The redemption validation is
• 32:22
  Speaker 7: that you saw it here last week. That has been
• 32:25
  Speaker 7: the theme since they landed here eight days ago. That's
• 32:29
  Speaker 7: all people keep passing after the game. That's all they
• 32:31
  Speaker 7: were talking about. That's all they're talking about. It is
• 32:34
  Speaker 7: locker and Mike McDonald left. I thought, I said, you
• 32:37
  Speaker 7: know what, that's what everyone else says. It's time to
• 32:40
  Speaker 7: call him something else besides vindicated and redeemed. And that
• 32:45
  Speaker 7: ended up being the lead in the story I wrote
• 32:47
  Speaker 7: as The News Tribune about midnight last night, except for
• 32:50
  Speaker 7: the News Tribune dot Com. Right now, I was my lead.
• 32:52
  Speaker 7: He's not vindicated, he's not redeemed. He's a super Bowl
• 32:56
  Speaker 7: champion whose talent is his accomplishments are now matching his talent. Look,
• 33:03
  Speaker 7: he never won the Big One because he never was
• 33:05
  Speaker 7: in the Big One because he played for teams that's stunk.
• 33:09
  Speaker 7: You're not going to get the third overall pick in
• 33:12
  Speaker 7: the NFL draft and you're not going to go walking
• 33:14
  Speaker 7: into a championship situation. You're going to walk into a mess.
• 33:19
  Speaker 7: And if the rest of the mess isn't cleaned up,
• 33:21
  Speaker 7: it doesn't matter how good of a quarterback you are.
• 33:23
  Speaker 7: Look at the history. John Hallway was on a terrible
• 33:26
  Speaker 7: Denver Broncos team. Bucky sorry today he was when he
• 33:29
  Speaker 7: first came into the league. Joe Montana didn't win. As
• 33:32
  Speaker 7: soon as he got to the forty nine stuck. It
• 33:35
  Speaker 7: took Bill Walsh a while to clean that house. And
• 33:38
  Speaker 7: that was Sam Darod with the Jets, and what the
• 33:40
  Speaker 7: Jets do. They traded on another stinky team. They traded
• 33:43
  Speaker 7: them to the Panthers, who were a losing team. He
• 33:46
  Speaker 7: went and lost for them eight and nine and two
• 33:49
  Speaker 7: years as a starter, and then he went to San
• 33:51
  Speaker 7: Francisco's a backup, and then he went to the Vikings. Oh,
• 33:55
  Speaker 7: fourteen and two. Yeah, he faltered at the end of
• 33:58
  Speaker 7: the season, the whole team did. He went fourteen to
• 34:01
  Speaker 7: two and through forty five hundred yards and thirty five touchdowns,
• 34:03
  Speaker 7: and the Viking said, Eh, we don't need you, We'll
• 34:06
  Speaker 7: take this JJ McCarthy, guy who's never played a snap
• 34:08
  Speaker 7: in the league. That's been his career in a nutshell.
• 34:12
  Speaker 7: So those people who say, would you failed at the Jets,
• 34:16
  Speaker 7: you failed. Anyone in the world would have failed with
• 34:19
  Speaker 7: the Jets and the Panthers, and that's why the Jets
• 34:21
  Speaker 7: and the Panthers stunk. So the vindication and the redemption
• 34:28
  Speaker 7: isn't so much as it is he got on a
• 34:31
  Speaker 7: good team with at the world's best defense and he won.
• 34:35
  Speaker 7: And he's thirty one and six in the last two years.
• 34:39
  Speaker 7: Thirty one and six. Pretty good. Yeah, about time to
• 34:44
  Speaker 7: call him Sam Darnold winner. I think at this point,
• 34:47
  Speaker 7: on top of it every anything else he's ever done
• 34:49
  Speaker 7: this career.
• 34:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah, obviously, I mean he did, he did his part.
• 34:53
  Speaker 4: I mean, there was was he didn't.
• 34:55
  Speaker 7: Have to do much. He just you know what it was,
• 34:57
  Speaker 7: don't turn the ball over. Yeah, if they didn't turn
• 35:01
  Speaker 7: the ball over, they're gonna win. He hadn't turn the
• 35:03
  Speaker 7: ball over in five weeks, five games, they won them all.
• 35:06
  Speaker 7: Take up to the Super Bowl. Their defense was so
• 35:08
  Speaker 7: good that Sam Donald's job, don't turn them all over.
• 35:12
  Speaker 7: Kunth Walker's job. Run it twenty eight thirty times, and.
• 35:15
  Speaker 2: That's how they won.
• 35:16
  Speaker 7: That was it was simple Donald, don't turn it over.
• 35:20
  Speaker 7: There was one play in the first half going left
• 35:22
  Speaker 7: and right, was right underneath me in the press box
• 35:25
  Speaker 7: in the red zone. He scrambled around and instead of
• 35:28
  Speaker 7: throwing it anywhere, and people in the press wars going,
• 35:31
  Speaker 7: what's gonna do, he just chucked it into a fourth
• 35:34
  Speaker 7: row left sideline because he knew we'll take three points here.
• 35:38
  Speaker 7: The Patriots aren't scoring tonight. I mean, that was his
• 35:41
  Speaker 7: job and he did it expertly the last four weeks.
• 35:44
  Speaker 7: Sorry to interrupt, but Donald was don't turn the ball over.
• 35:48
  Speaker 7: He didn't turn them all over. They won the Super Bowl.
• 35:50
  Speaker 4: Well, he had a few throws, you know, like in
• 35:53
  Speaker 4: tight windows early, like he was gonna let it rip
• 35:55
  Speaker 4: and understand that if the mistake happens, my defense will
• 35:59
  Speaker 4: probably picked me up. But then as it started, you
• 36:02
  Speaker 4: tacked on a couple of field goals, and that you
• 36:04
  Speaker 4: started recognizing that the Patriots weren't going anywhere. It felt
• 36:07
  Speaker 4: like he stopped putting some the ball at risk. I mean,
• 36:11
  Speaker 4: he really made a whole bunch more just sound safe decisions,
• 36:15
  Speaker 4: even if it meant you had to turn around and
• 36:17
  Speaker 4: punt the ball back to the Patriots. Was there a distinguished,
• 36:21
  Speaker 4: concerted effort to do that. Did they come to him
• 36:24
  Speaker 4: and say, hey, they're not going to score. We got
• 36:26
  Speaker 4: six points, they're not going to get past that. Or
• 36:28
  Speaker 4: we got nine points, they're not going to be able
• 36:29
  Speaker 4: to overcome that. Be safe?
• 36:31
  Speaker 3: Now?
• 36:33
  Speaker 7: I think Donald did that himself, Mike, Mike McDonald talks
• 36:36
  Speaker 7: a lot about the game presenting itself, and you're right, Bucky.
• 36:40
  Speaker 7: It became evident in about the first fifteen mile, maybe
• 36:43
  Speaker 7: least the first two drives that the Patriots had, they
• 36:48
  Speaker 7: weren't driving the field to score at all. And I
• 36:51
  Speaker 7: was sitting in the box thinking, as long as Donald
• 36:53
  Speaker 7: doesn't turn over, the Patriots might not score until next season.
• 36:57
  Speaker 7: There was no chance that they were going to drive
• 36:59
  Speaker 7: the field them And no, okay they did, but the
• 37:01
  Speaker 7: game was nineteen nothing with thirteen minutes left before they
• 37:05
  Speaker 7: finally did, and they were hurry up mode and the
• 37:07
  Speaker 7: sea Arks were dropping off. They weren't pressing quite as much,
• 37:09
  Speaker 7: although they started to re up the blitz again. I
• 37:12
  Speaker 7: talked to add and Dirty outside the locker room. He
• 37:14
  Speaker 7: was pretty happy, by the way, and he said, I said, well,
• 37:18
  Speaker 7: that everything you did work. He said, not in the
• 37:21
  Speaker 7: fourth quarter. They were upset that how the fourth quarter
• 37:25
  Speaker 7: was that they let off the gas mentally. But it's
• 37:27
  Speaker 7: human nature that if you have nineteen nothing in the
• 37:29
  Speaker 7: team has seventy yards of two three quarters, that you're
• 37:32
  Speaker 7: going to think, well, this is done. And it was.
• 37:34
  Speaker 7: But I think Bucky, I don't know that someone told
• 37:38
  Speaker 7: him that. I think Donald's been around the block enough
• 37:40
  Speaker 7: long enough to know as long as I don't turn
• 37:43
  Speaker 7: the ball over, I'm going to be hoisting all the
• 37:44
  Speaker 7: Mardi Trophy in a couple hours. And so he did.
• 37:47
  Speaker 7: You're right, he did throttle down on. They were a
• 37:50
  Speaker 7: couple of plays in the first half Smith and Jigwa.
• 37:53
  Speaker 7: His first throat to Smith and Jigwa the game. He
• 37:56
  Speaker 7: threw it before Smith and Jigway even broke clear of
• 37:58
  Speaker 7: the linebacker and it could be in an interception and
• 38:02
  Speaker 7: he'd shut that down in a hurry. And I think
• 38:04
  Speaker 7: Kubiak's play calling helped in that regard to twenty seven
• 38:08
  Speaker 7: carries plus three or four catches for Kenneth. Walker told Darnald,
• 38:12
  Speaker 7: we ain't risking anything. And when you keep getting outside
• 38:16
  Speaker 7: zone run calls coming into your comet headset for three
• 38:18
  Speaker 7: and a half quarters and time we get the hint
• 38:20
  Speaker 7: the TA team wants you to do instead of risking
• 38:23
  Speaker 7: the ball.
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: Well, rest up two weeks combine one month free agency.
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: That's one of the things about covering a Super Bowl champion,
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: as you work longer than all the other beat writers.
• 38:37
  Speaker 7: There were guys around the league, friends of mine from
• 38:39
  Speaker 7: Los Angeles to New York, making fun of the last
• 38:41
  Speaker 7: night I'm my wait outside the arena. Oh see in Indianapolis.
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, buddy, I mean you even had the
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: Kubiak story to cover last night. After the game was over,
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: I mean there was there's just no rest for Greg Bell.
• 38:55
  Speaker 7: And there wasn't. Sam Donald and Kubiak hugged in the
• 38:58
  Speaker 7: locker room. They talked for a while and Donald looked
• 39:02
  Speaker 7: at him and said job well done, and We teased
• 39:05
  Speaker 7: him about saying that, and he said, I didn't know
• 39:07
  Speaker 7: what else to say, but that probably isn't the last
• 39:10
  Speaker 7: time he's going to talk to Kubiak. But yeah, he's gone.
• 39:14
  Speaker 7: Now the question becomes who he takes with him. Is
• 39:16
  Speaker 7: it Andrew Gjnoko quarterbacks coach leaving? Is offensive line coach
• 39:20
  Speaker 7: John Benton leaving? Those are two prime candidates to leave
• 39:23
  Speaker 7: because they were both with Kubiak in New Orleans. I
• 39:26
  Speaker 7: think the Seahawks are going to make a push to
• 39:27
  Speaker 7: make Jenoko the next offensive coordinator so they can keep
• 39:30
  Speaker 7: the continuity of that room between Jenoko and Sam Donald.
• 39:35
  Speaker 7: And I would move Mount Rainier to try to get
• 39:38
  Speaker 7: John Benton to stay for what he did to this
• 39:40
  Speaker 7: team this year.
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, Greg, great stuff. I mean, we couldn't
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: cover it all, but we do have all week. So
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: get some rest, be safe lying home, and we'll talk
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: to you real soon.
• 39:51
  Speaker 7: Appreciate it. On my way to Kenneth Walker and Mike
• 39:54
  Speaker 7: McDonald's press conference downtown San Francisco at eight thirty this morth.
• 39:57
  Speaker 2: Oh, he's not in Disneyland already? What's going on there?
• 40:00
  Speaker 7: Why? Why? Yeah? Marker's not either, He's said the Disneyland.
• 40:06

  Speaker 12: I cannot even start to explain how I feel. First,

  Speaker 12: I want to give a shout out to my boy
• 42:13
  Speaker 12: three point fifty seven, Jim, You're the man, Love you brother. Hey, guys,
• 42:18
  Speaker 12: I was watching the NFL network all day yesterday and
• 42:22
  Speaker 12: the one thing that caught my eye was the scrolling
• 42:26
  Speaker 12: deal at the bottom.
• 42:27
  Speaker 7: They were doing those mock drafts.
• 42:29
  Speaker 12: Yeah, and every single one of those mock drafts had
• 42:33
  Speaker 12: the Seahawks picking thirty two.
• 42:37
  Speaker 7: Hmm, they knew it. They knew it.
• 42:40
  Speaker 11: Hey, and guess what, guess what?
• 42:43
  Speaker 13: What are super Bowl champions?
• 42:44
  Speaker 14: People?
• 42:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah? Wow, congratulations total soak it.
• 42:52
  Speaker 3: Up, man, soak it up.
• 42:53
  Speaker 12: Uh, I'm soaking it up.
• 42:57
  Speaker 2: Awesome.
• 42:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah, number thirty two.
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll be happy to pick last in the draft.
• 43:02
  Speaker 4: That's always a fun thing. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I would guess.
• 43:06
  Speaker 4: So you don't need it.
• 43:08
  Speaker 2: I don't need a top ten or I needed to
• 43:10
  Speaker 2: draft number one. I guess.
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: Well, yeah, thirty two, Go ahead, Clint, have fun with
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: that one. Let's go to Keith and Arlington. Good morning, Keith,
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: Good morning. You're a super Bowl champion, Keith.
• 43:23
  Speaker 2: We're great.
• 43:24
  Speaker 7: Oh man, can you believe it?
• 43:26
  Speaker 15: You know, it's funny because I called the guys on
• 43:29
  Speaker 15: moving the chains on.
• 43:30
  Speaker 7: Serious XM Radio yesterday.
• 43:32
  Speaker 15: Yeah, and I told them, I said, I've got that
• 43:35
  Speaker 15: Super Bowl forty eight feelings. I think this is going
• 43:39
  Speaker 15: to be a beatdown. I don't think the AFC scenes
• 43:42
  Speaker 15: a defense like this.
• 43:43
  Speaker 7: They don't. They just don't. And lo and.
• 43:46
  Speaker 15: Behold, I mean we held them to zero points through
• 43:49
  Speaker 15: three quarters.
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, seventy eight yards. Seventy eight yards total yards. They
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: had not been inside the forty yard line until Drake
• 43:59
  Speaker 1: May had the back to back passes to Hollins with
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: like thirteen minutes left in the fourth quarter.
• 44:04
  Speaker 2: That's how dominant it was.
• 44:06
  Speaker 15: It was, and that was pretty much a Christmas gift
• 44:09
  Speaker 15: as well. I mean, you can't expect a defense to
• 44:12
  Speaker 15: I mean I was really I really wanted that shut out.
• 44:15
  Speaker 15: At the end of the third quarter, I'm like, okay,
• 44:17
  Speaker 15: I want this shutout. Yeah, it'll be the first time ever. Yeah,
• 44:21
  Speaker 15: you know, it's still it was still dominant. It was
• 44:24
  Speaker 15: just a dominant performance.
• 44:25
  Speaker 3: Oh, well, out question. It was dominant.
• 44:28
  Speaker 2: So well enjoy it, Keith, your super Bowl champ.
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: That's right there, you go, Keith in Arlington.
• 44:37
  Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, I mean I know that the.
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: Final statistics aren't going to speak to just how dominant
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: that was. But through three quarters, I mean, the Patriots
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: didn't have one single answer for what Mike McDonald threw
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: with them. And I said this last week, I mean
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: we've now had three examples of Mike McDonald having more
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: than a week to prepare for an opponent. And though
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: those results were the Commanders, remember how dominant that was
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: forty nine ers forty one to six, and then that
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: thing last night. I mean, this is how good this
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: guy is. I mean, the word's gonna get out. You
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: don't want to face Mike McDonald with two weeks to
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: prepare for you, period?
• 45:17
  Speaker 4: Well, yeah, I mean he knows what he's doing. He
• 45:19
  Speaker 4: I mean, even when he's going on normal amount of preparation,
• 45:23
  Speaker 4: it doesn't It rarely feels like his defense isn't prepared, right,
• 45:27
  Speaker 4: I mean, whatever his catchphrases are, they get he gets
• 45:30
  Speaker 4: them ready. They have a plan, and then he sticks
• 45:34
  Speaker 4: to that plan if you get him extra time. Yeah,
• 45:37
  Speaker 4: it feels like I mean Rabel did a good job
• 45:39
  Speaker 4: of getting his defense ready too. It wasn't like it
• 45:42
  Speaker 4: was easy smooth sailing for the Seahawks offense, And yeah,
• 45:45
  Speaker 4: there were some missed opportunities, but I think a lot
• 45:47
  Speaker 4: of that. I usually tend to just give credit to
• 45:50
  Speaker 4: the you know, instead of being like, well Sam missed
• 45:52
  Speaker 4: that long bomb to Jackson Smith and Jig, but that
• 45:54
  Speaker 4: would have been a touchdown. Well, he did have guys
• 45:56
  Speaker 4: in his face, So give credit where credit is due.
• 45:59
  Speaker 4: And I don't know if anybody deserves more credit than
• 46:01
  Speaker 4: Mike McDonald getting that team defense ready.
• 46:03
  Speaker 3: All right, we're taking your calls this morning.
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: I want to hear from you here as the Seahawks
• 46:08
  Speaker 1: are Super Bowl champions and this is a little dangerous.
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: We're going to New Hampshire. That's kind of Patriot territory.
• 46:13
  Speaker 7: Uh.
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: Let's see if if Mike has held onto his Seahawks
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: fandom living in New Hampshire.
• 46:19
  Speaker 3: Hey, Mike, how are you great?
• 46:22
  Speaker 14: Hope you're doing well.
• 46:23
  Speaker 2: We're doing great. How are you feeling this morning?
• 46:27
  Speaker 14: Fantastic? I am not a Patriot fan, good, but I am.
• 46:34
  Speaker 14: I soon Remember the Super Bowl where Malcolm Butler accepted
• 46:39
  Speaker 14: that pass. I soon so this day. I don't know
• 46:42
  Speaker 14: why Pete Carroll called that call dot play.
• 46:45
  Speaker 3: But anyway, today.
• 46:49
  Speaker 14: First of all, congratulations to the to the Seahawks. I
• 46:53
  Speaker 14: think they they played a great game. Fantastic game. Bill
• 46:58
  Speaker 14: Belichick wrote the forward to a book that I recently
• 47:03
  Speaker 14: read called grid Iron Genius, which was written by Michael Lombardi,
• 47:07
  Speaker 14: and in the forward, Belichick says that many times reporters
• 47:14
  Speaker 14: ask them, what do you look for in a rookie?
• 47:15
  Speaker 14: Do you look for the guy that runs the fastest,
• 47:17
  Speaker 14: who has the most receptions and he says, no, I
• 47:20
  Speaker 14: don't look for any of that. So very so they
• 47:24
  Speaker 14: got upsete with them, said well, what do you look for?
• 47:26
  Speaker 14: And this is what he said. He said, I look
• 47:30
  Speaker 14: for one element mental toughness. And I think that's what
• 47:34
  Speaker 14: the defense of the Seahawks displayed last night, and that's
• 47:39
  Speaker 14: why they deserve to link. Congratulations, God bless you, and
• 47:43
  Speaker 14: I'll listen to what you have to say.
• 47:44
  Speaker 3: Thank you, Mike, appreciate it.
• 47:47
  Speaker 1: There is a really interesting conversation, on a lengthy one
• 47:51
  Speaker 1: to have about John Schneider the last three years and
• 47:55
  Speaker 1: then the last two years with Mike McDonald and the
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: type of players that they're using versus the type.
• 48:01
  Speaker 2: Of players that Vrabel's choosing.
• 48:03
  Speaker 1: I don't have time to get into it today, but
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: I can't wait to have that conversation because this is
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: the aspect of sports that fascinates me the most. And
• 48:11
  Speaker 1: right now, John Schneider and Mike McDonald, the team is
• 48:13
  Speaker 1: just running circles around people in the National Football League.
• 48:17
  Speaker 1: But we'll save that conversation for another day. I will
• 48:20
  Speaker 1: say this, I watched two different pregame shows yesterday and
• 48:24
  Speaker 1: I flipped from one to the other.
• 48:25
  Speaker 2: At one point in the pregame and.
• 48:27
  Speaker 1: I had to watch two different features on Malcolm Butler's intersections.
• 48:31
  Speaker 6: And then they had him ring the damn bell at
• 48:33
  Speaker 6: the beginning of the games.
• 48:35
  Speaker 1: And then they put a Patriot and then two forty
• 48:37
  Speaker 1: nine ers on the set doing the pregame, Shanahan and Warner,
• 48:41
  Speaker 1: And every time Shannann and Warner said anything, they would
• 48:44
  Speaker 1: always preface it with I don't want to compliment them.
• 48:47
  Speaker 1: How about not having guys on there that have to
• 48:49
  Speaker 1: preface every one of their statements with that statement.
• 48:53
  Speaker 2: All right, let's go to Daryl in Newcastle.
• 48:55
  Speaker 11: Come on to Daryl Cosy. I gotta tell you, I
• 49:02
  Speaker 11: love that we're always being slept on. But let me
• 49:05
  Speaker 11: just cut to the tas when we acquired Sam Donald
• 49:09
  Speaker 11: on one of those guys, I was like, why what
• 49:11
  Speaker 11: are we doing? John Snyder is a genius. And let
• 49:17
  Speaker 11: me just say this. I am so proud of Darnald
• 49:19
  Speaker 11: Man the way he was so mobile with his line. Yeah,
• 49:24
  Speaker 11: he missed some passes, but man, they were getting through
• 49:27
  Speaker 11: our offensive. Why man, and he was just he was moving.
• 49:31
  Speaker 11: I've never seen him that elusive. I'm really proud. I
• 49:35
  Speaker 11: think we've got such a bright future Go.
• 49:37
  Speaker 7: Hawks, Darryl.
• 49:39
  Speaker 3: When did you start believing in Sam?
• 49:42
  Speaker 11: I would have to say probably in Game eight.
• 49:46
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 49:47
  Speaker 11: The only reason why I did is because I was
• 49:51
  Speaker 11: seeing how much the team really was behind him, and
• 49:54
  Speaker 11: I could also tell two from his harshest. He just
• 49:57
  Speaker 11: seemed very genuine and I also got to hear him
• 50:00
  Speaker 11: speak when he got interviewed with Marshawn Lynch and oh
• 50:05
  Speaker 11: my god, they've got their own like podcast. But when
• 50:08
  Speaker 11: I got to hear him speak and just kind of
• 50:10
  Speaker 11: what he was talking about, I mean, the guy is
• 50:13
  Speaker 11: just really thrown. And then you gotta think he's had
• 50:15
  Speaker 11: so many different offensive coordinators and sometimes this is a
• 50:20
  Speaker 11: position that you just have to It takes time. It's
• 50:23
  Speaker 11: not an instant move like this is. But I really
• 50:27
  Speaker 11: feel like this is a formula. Even when Mike Donald
• 50:31
  Speaker 11: came on, I was offended when he wanted all of
• 50:34
  Speaker 11: those Legion of Boom players were moved off the side
• 50:36
  Speaker 11: of looming field, but I understood he had to shape
• 50:40
  Speaker 11: everything and it just it just always works.
• 50:44
  Speaker 7: We always get the.
• 50:45
  Speaker 11: Guys that are low key and like they said that
• 50:48
  Speaker 11: mental great toughness. Don't let the cat out the bag
• 50:51
  Speaker 11: and let other teams start to want to get that too,
• 50:54
  Speaker 11: but they have a drafting formula that just works.
• 50:58
  Speaker 7: That's it.
• 50:59
  Speaker 11: I've taken a lot of time, but man, this.
• 51:01
  Speaker 7: Is a great day.
• 51:02
  Speaker 6: Man.
• 51:02
  Speaker 2: Congratulations.
• 51:04
  Speaker 11: I was in tears anyway, Thanks so much for taking
• 51:09
  Speaker 11: my call.
• 51:09
  Speaker 3: You got all right, go Oks.
• 51:12
  Speaker 1: Daryl waking up this morning a champion here today in Newcastle.
• 51:18
  Speaker 3: Let's go to David in Renton. Good morning, David, good morning.
• 51:23
  Speaker 2: How you feeling, go Oks? How you feeling?
• 51:25
  Speaker 15: Oh?
• 51:26
  Speaker 13: Man, I feel so great. What a great year, what
• 51:29
  Speaker 13: a great team. These guys love each other, you know,
• 51:31
  Speaker 13: culture kind of corny, but they do. They play for
• 51:35
  Speaker 13: each other. So proud of the team. My dad passed
• 51:40
  Speaker 13: away in June. He would have loved to see this.
• 51:42
  Speaker 13: He was alive for the first one that was emotional,
• 51:44
  Speaker 13: but this one, really I feel like we're onto something here.
• 51:47
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I think you could be.
• 51:49
  Speaker 13: The start of a great, great dynasty. Hopefully don't want
• 51:52
  Speaker 13: to jinx it, but.
• 51:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, David, thank you for the call. We appreciate it.
• 51:56
  Speaker 1: Happy for you, happy for all the Seahawk fans out there.
• 52:00
  Speaker 1: And look, I brought this conversation up last week and
• 52:05
  Speaker 1: Greg made the comment of like you have to. I mean,
• 52:08
  Speaker 1: it's so hard to win one, it's so much harder
• 52:10
  Speaker 1: to win back to back. It's so much harder even
• 52:13
  Speaker 1: than that, to go beyond too. I was not, in
• 52:18
  Speaker 1: my attempts at discussing this trying to put the cart
• 52:21
  Speaker 1: before the horse and trying to make this team a
• 52:23
  Speaker 1: dynasty before they'd even won their first Super Bowl. Simply
• 52:27
  Speaker 1: the conversation I thought that was worth having is how
• 52:30
  Speaker 1: do you feel about this team compared to the twenty
• 52:33
  Speaker 1: thirteen team as they were getting ready for Super Bowl Sunday?
• 52:37
  Speaker 1: And I think that there are a lot of things
• 52:39
  Speaker 1: about that twenty thirteen team that were superior to this one.
• 52:43
  Speaker 1: And I think there are a lot of things about
• 52:44
  Speaker 1: that this team that's superior to that one. But I
• 52:47
  Speaker 1: do believe that the difference between the two, and the
• 52:50
  Speaker 1: reason why I think this team has the chance to
• 52:52
  Speaker 1: do this again and maybe beyond a couple of times,
• 52:56
  Speaker 1: is the fabric of this team that is one of
• 53:00
  Speaker 1: the tightest knit NFL teams you will ever see in
• 53:04
  Speaker 1: your entire life. Where the Seahawks were already fighting over
• 53:08
  Speaker 1: the pieces of the pie before they'd even won the
• 53:11
  Speaker 1: first championship. They'd already sort of divided the locker room
• 53:15
  Speaker 1: before they even won in twenty thirteen, and so that's
• 53:19
  Speaker 1: why I think this team might have a chance to
• 53:21
  Speaker 1: actually pull.
• 53:22
  Speaker 2: This thing off.
• 53:23
  Speaker 4: Well, it's not an easy task to do, but yeah,
• 53:26
  Speaker 4: I would have to think that they're probably the favorites
• 53:29
  Speaker 4: going into it right now. If you were wanting to
• 53:31
  Speaker 4: make a bat one who's going to win the Super
• 53:32
  Speaker 4: Bowl next year? I don't know why you wouldn't think
• 53:35
  Speaker 4: it would be the Seahawks. Now we got an offseason
• 53:37
  Speaker 4: to go, teams are going to improve. But I think
• 53:41
  Speaker 4: that for the most part, with the exception like ken Walker,
• 53:44
  Speaker 4: you don't know what's going to happen there, right He's
• 53:46
  Speaker 4: probably going to test the free agent waters and so
• 53:49
  Speaker 4: what are you going to have there? And he just
• 53:51
  Speaker 4: ended up being the MVP, even though it probably was
• 53:54
  Speaker 4: the entire defense that was the most valuable part of
• 53:56
  Speaker 4: the team.
• 53:58
  Speaker 3: I think just a lot.
• 53:59
  Speaker 4: That goes into a lot of little things go into
• 54:03
  Speaker 4: becoming a world champion. And I think that right now,
• 54:06
  Speaker 4: from John Schneider to you know, Mike McDonald, to Sam Donald,
• 54:11
  Speaker 4: to everybody on that roster, they just did a lot
• 54:13
  Speaker 4: of the things correct and I'm with you. I think
• 54:15
  Speaker 4: that the philosophy, the blueprint that Mike McDonald has put
• 54:21
  Speaker 4: forth is one that does seem sustainable. You know, whether
• 54:25
  Speaker 4: or not, you know, egos get too big. That's something
• 54:28
  Speaker 4: that you can't necessarily control. But if you get everybody
• 54:30
  Speaker 4: roll in the same direction, I don't see any reason
• 54:33
  Speaker 4: why they can't run the thing back.
• 54:34
  Speaker 1: All right here, Melan's going to join us at eight o'clock.
• 54:37
  Speaker 1: They have announced that the parade is going to take
• 54:39
  Speaker 1: place on Wednesday here in Seattle, and we have to
• 54:43
  Speaker 1: hear from we always do every Monday, from the guy
• 54:46
  Speaker 1: I think is most.
• 54:48
  Speaker 2: Responsible for this thing last night.
• 54:50
  Speaker 1: That's right, I'm o be there for a Mike McDonald's
• 54:55
  Speaker 1: segment next on Chuck and Bug.
• 54:58
  Speaker 7: He's it his own twenty four.
• 55:00
  Speaker 8: It's then the Winter quarterback second eleven three and the gun.
• 55:02
  Speaker 9: One's up one cast down the middle of tenter second half,
• 55:06
  Speaker 9: A thirty outline coming up, nidle the forty look the return.
• 55:09
  Speaker 11: Right here now.
• 55:10
  Speaker 9: It's Julian Love and he's un a down coming here
• 55:12
  Speaker 9: sunline going into Patriot territory, and he's not out of
• 55:17
  Speaker 9: bounds about the thirty two. It's the second turnover by
• 55:21
  Speaker 9: the second year Patriot quarterback, great name and another great
• 55:27
  Speaker 9: star for Seattle Tea in Patriot territory. Here in the
• 55:31
  Speaker 9: Super Bowl sixteen.
• 55:37
  Speaker 16: That's where I wrote down Game OVA right there, right
• 55:41
  Speaker 16: there after that call from Kevin Harland on Westwood one
• 55:45
  Speaker 16: Seahawks when the Super Bowl twenty nine thirteen over the
• 55:49
  Speaker 16: New England Patriots.
• 55:50
  Speaker 1: You've tuned in for analysis from Hugh mellanire this morning.
• 55:54
  Speaker 1: We'll get to Hugh in a second, but I do
• 55:56
  Speaker 1: want to let you know to go buy DraftKings sportsbook
• 55:59
  Speaker 1: to up Resort Casino and we'll see the Greek casino.
• 56:02
  Speaker 1: If you put down some bets. My guess is you
• 56:04
  Speaker 1: put it down on some Seahawks stuff. I have a
• 56:06
  Speaker 1: feeling of a lot of people cashing in on some
• 56:08
  Speaker 1: victories today.
• 56:09
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I guaranteed, and you might as well go collect
• 56:12
  Speaker 4: your cash and you might as well just put a
• 56:14
  Speaker 4: bet down for them to win it next year line
• 56:17
  Speaker 4: as well.
• 56:18
  Speaker 2: I mean not all of it, but some of it.
• 56:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 56:20
  Speaker 4: I mean this point you're playing with house money. I
• 56:23
  Speaker 4: think it's plus eight point fifty, which is actually second,
• 56:25
  Speaker 4: which I don't understand altogether. The Rams are the number
• 56:28
  Speaker 4: one right now after the rain. Yeah, right after you guys. Hey,
• 56:31
  Speaker 4: how's how's vacation treating you?
• 56:33
  Speaker 14: Hey?
• 56:33
  Speaker 3: You really feel Yeah?
• 56:34
  Speaker 2: I got actually got any stogies.
• 56:36
  Speaker 4: Oh you guys didn't. You didn't celebrate last night?
• 56:38
  Speaker 3: That's right?
• 56:39
  Speaker 4: But can con you can go to DraftKings and put
• 56:41
  Speaker 4: put down some ducats at plus eight fifty for the
• 56:44
  Speaker 4: Seahawks to repeat.
• 56:45
  Speaker 3: By the way, my prediction was twenty seven to thirteen
• 56:47
  Speaker 3: for this game. Pretty close. Yeah, it's pretty good.
• 56:49
  Speaker 2: Pretty close tway nine thirteen.
• 56:52
  Speaker 3: You mellanus with us here.
• 56:54
  Speaker 1: He even came close. He doesn't make predictions. But what
• 56:56
  Speaker 1: were his last words to us on Friday? I'll talk
• 56:59
  Speaker 1: to you on and we'll be talking about a win.
• 57:02
  Speaker 1: How about that? How about Millen putting the stamp on
• 57:05
  Speaker 1: the week with that statement on Friday?
• 57:08
  Speaker 3: Oh that I picked this favorite in the Super Bowl
• 57:11
  Speaker 3: to win with no score. That's not going to make
• 57:15
  Speaker 3: the biggest Hall of Fame shot.
• 57:19
  Speaker 1: Well, let's talk about ken Walker. He was named MVP
• 57:21
  Speaker 1: and I get it, and he did. He played outstanding.
• 57:24
  Speaker 1: I think he sparked the offense certainly last night. But
• 57:28
  Speaker 1: what I heard and I can't verify this, but this
• 57:30
  Speaker 1: is what I heard last night that he set a
• 57:32
  Speaker 1: record for most yards in a Super Bowl rushed outside
• 57:36
  Speaker 1: the tackles. So somebody kept that stat last night and
• 57:39
  Speaker 1: said that no one in Super Bowl history gained more
• 57:41
  Speaker 1: yards in a Super Bowl than what ken Walker did
• 57:44
  Speaker 1: last night outside the tackles. And you know, we've talked about,
• 57:48
  Speaker 1: you know, the run the block, the zone blocking scheme
• 57:51
  Speaker 1: that was coming in here and this should be perfect
• 57:54
  Speaker 1: for ken Walker, and it wasn't perfect. He did not
• 57:57
  Speaker 1: have a perfect season, but down toward the end of
• 57:59
  Speaker 1: the year, him hitting the outside Hugh was just magic
• 58:03
  Speaker 1: for him this year. So I don't know if that
• 58:05
  Speaker 1: just took him time to figure it out, or or
• 58:09
  Speaker 1: Clint Kubiak time to get him on the outside, or
• 58:11
  Speaker 1: what the case may be. But ken Walker has turned
• 58:14
  Speaker 1: into a demon off the edge. Well he's got the bursts.
• 58:18
  Speaker 1: So uh that that wide zone you're you're you know,
• 58:20
  Speaker 1: his read, he's looking at the end man and and
• 58:23
  Speaker 1: generally when they're running that that's to the tight end
• 58:26
  Speaker 1: side or the two tight end side, he's looking if
• 58:29
  Speaker 1: they're they hook that end. Uh, then then he looks
• 58:33
  Speaker 1: what it's the next guy in the next block in
• 58:36
  Speaker 1: if it's a three technique in an overfront.
• 58:38
  Speaker 3: You read you read that, and and the way it's
• 58:41
  Speaker 3: taught is, hey, full full steps, don't shorten your stride.
• 58:46
  Speaker 3: Make your SIVT decision after the third step, make your
• 58:48
  Speaker 3: cut on the fifth step. If you want to go north,
• 58:51
  Speaker 3: get north. If you want to bounce it because you
• 58:53
  Speaker 3: think you can get to the edge, then go Well
• 58:56
  Speaker 3: you have to have some bursts to get to the
• 58:58
  Speaker 3: edge to make it credit. And and if you don't
• 59:01
  Speaker 3: have the burst, you're gonna you're gonna look and say,
• 59:03
  Speaker 3: you're gonna be more likely to run back inside. So
• 59:06
  Speaker 3: he's been able to get to the outside. They on
• 59:09
  Speaker 3: one of his best ones, they didn't stretch it. They
• 59:11
  Speaker 3: just tossed it to get him the ball in his
• 59:13
  Speaker 3: hands real quick. That and you know that takes away
• 59:15
  Speaker 3: some of the play acts and things you can do,
• 59:18
  Speaker 3: but it gets them just a tad faster out there
• 59:20
  Speaker 3: on the edge. And and and so uh yeah, the
• 59:25
  Speaker 3: first the first the first quarter, the first six running
• 59:30
  Speaker 3: plays were all outside zone. Now the Patriots have a
• 59:33
  Speaker 3: better defense. We talked during the week, Hey, if you
• 59:36
  Speaker 3: just go back, if I simplificate, simplify it, I just
• 59:39
  Speaker 3: say against the forty nine ers. They went wanted to
• 59:41
  Speaker 3: run wide on the stretch against the Rams. They wanted
• 59:43
  Speaker 3: to run inside. Which will it be? I think logic
• 59:47
  Speaker 3: we were saying, it dictates that with those great defensive
• 59:50
  Speaker 3: tackles inside uh Williams and Barmore I might have got.
• 59:56
  Speaker 2: His name, Bill Williams Christian Barmore.
• 59:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, that that you know that maybe the
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 3: better course is to try and get outside. And so
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 3: I I know, I was even saying after the first
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 3: quarter they haven't tried to run inside one time. Now
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 3: the first time they did it, I thought they they
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 3: ran inside well. And part of it is they have
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 3: changed the the style of running for uh for uh
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 3: uh Canine he is aligning just a half yard deeper
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 3: than he was in some cases is closer to a
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 3: full yard. But his steps on those those inside runs,
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 3: he he is there's a little bit of a delay
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 3: step where he he opens his hips and shoulders as
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 3: if he's running to the outside zone, and then he
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 3: closes his hips back and so that they're parallel to
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 3: the line of scrimmage, and and and and he's got
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 3: more distance from the line. And I think what the
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 3: Seahawks have discovered is that fits his running style because
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 3: he can come out. He just kind of surveys. It's
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 3: a little bit of a Chris Collinsworth nailed it. It's
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 3: a Levy and Bell type of style. We we've been
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 3: talking about this for the last few weeks. That that
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 3: he's deeper and then it allows everything to see how
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 3: is the defense flowing. Then when he sees a crease,
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 3: then he's got the burst and the strength to get through.
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 3: What I mean by strength, there's a defensive lineman who
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 3: may be coming off a block and has a you know,
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 3: a pretty good shot on him, maybe a shoulder, uh,
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 3: maybe you know, a good arm, but he'll he'll run
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 3: right through an arm tackle, right through his thip bats
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 3: because he's so strong. So and then he's got the
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 3: burst in the second layer. So uh, you know in
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 3: the screen pass, how big was the screen pass on
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 3: that play? Beautifully designed Jasn in the backfield, you know,
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 3: run him on a seam route that I thought when
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 3: I saw it, I'll go, oh my god, like like
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 3: it looked like he's throw it to jays N on
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 3: the seam to the left. But but they had designed
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 3: that to be window dressing, and they get the the
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 3: instead of JSN out of the backfield up the left seam.
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 3: They're throwing the screen to the right, and you know,
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 3: and Canaine made a great initial move to make a
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 3: guy miss, get up the sideline make some yards. So yeah,
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 3: the outside was, uh there's one outside run he had
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 3: the is it the thirty yard?
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 7: Yeah?
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 3: It was the thirty yard or not the twenty nine
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 3: because back to back there, but they they did a
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 3: pin and poll where they're pulling and they had Gray's
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 3: abel and he's trying to pull out in front and uh,
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 3: he he got pushed back.
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 2: It was just a.
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 3: Difficult angle for any lineman and Canine had to bow
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 3: back behind the line of screamers lose ground. At that point,
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 3: if you said, freeze, who what what running back is
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 3: gonna manufacture anything out of this? And you're like, oh no,
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 3: this is already. This is the onset of the play.
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 3: This is a disaster, like we're running away back to
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 3: our own goal line. But he bows around that block
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 3: and has the burst to go up the sideline. Make
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 3: guys miss. How he turned that into a thirty yard
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 3: or you know, is I guess one of the reason
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 3: that's how you get an MVP, a Super Bowl MVP,
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 3: and then you know, when you're sixty, they can mark
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 3: you out of a a little crate on the sideline,
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 3: you know, like a magic show like they did.
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 7: Do you see all those.
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 3: Guys popping out there like rabbits out of a hat
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 3: on the MVPs. That was kind of cool. So can
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 3: nine gets to do that in like forty years? So yeah, yeah,
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 3: is he a.
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 4: Guy that you want him to sign back? I mean,
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 4: right now, Zach Charbonnat is going to be recovering from
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 4: an ACL. I don't think that anybody has crazy high
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 4: hopes for George Halany and so I mean, is this
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 4: kind of a hey, go get this guy back, considering
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 4: he has the ability to go out and test fore agency.
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 3: Well, the salary CAP's going up to three hundred million,
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 3: so the percentage of us the cap that will be
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 3: eating up. I think the franchise tag is fourteen million.
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 3: That's an option for you that seems like it would
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 3: be money well spent.
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 2: You guys know me.
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 3: I have never wavered on my assessment of Canine. I've
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 3: said that that there's only ten positions in the draft,
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 3: separating he and sharbonnay I believe it is. They're both
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 3: second rounders. But to me, it's like one's a first
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 3: rounder and one's a fourth rounder, and so I think
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 3: he's significantly better than anybody they've had back there for
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 3: a long time. And you know that's just my eyes
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 3: and and so you know, you know, we talked, and
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 3: I know we got to get the other stuff. But
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 3: my final thought on on Canine for this hour is
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 3: after the injury against the forty nine ers, we break
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 3: up the discussion. Hey, listen, nobody wanted Sharbonna to get hurt,
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 3: not on the human side for Zach, not on the
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 3: the depth part for the Seahawks. But there is a
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 3: there is a storyline that is very likely to be
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 3: written where the Seahawks they are a better football team
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 3: because Zach Sharbonnay got hurt. That sounds uh, that sounds cruel.
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 3: I hope you heard the first part of that comment.
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 3: But that the model was that Canine. I grew up
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 3: in an era where they always said the best running
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 3: they get better as the game gets on the they
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 3: if they have the stamina, they their eyes, they adjust
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 3: to the game, They see how the defense is flowing,
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 3: and they just make better decisions, they run through the defense,
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 3: getting tired, they're strong, they're running through tackles. That was
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 3: a thing for decades and decades, and somehow it's fallen away.
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 3: And so what happened when Sharbonnay got hurt is we said, hey,
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 3: we're gonna thrust ourselves in the way back machine. We're
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 3: going And it's not forty yards forty years. You just
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 3: go back to twenty years when Shawn Alexander and Ladanian
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 3: Tomlinson were running like like, he's going to be a
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 3: work horse, Canaine. He's gonna be a work cars in
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 3: an old school kind of way, and it might be
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 3: the better for the Seahawks, may be the better for it.
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 3: And I think that's how it played out. You know.
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 3: I just think that that he was able to do
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 3: more carrying all the load than the load would have
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 3: been with him, and Sharbaday can't prove it, can't falsify it.
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 3: It's just a thought, but you know, it's something to
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 3: reflect on. Now that we've seen what Canaan has been
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 3: able to do since that injury, we have a lot
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 3: more to discuss.
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 2: We're gonna get as much in as we possibly can.
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 2: Hugh Millan is with us.
• 1:06:10

  Speaker 1: Former Seahawks head coach Mike Holmgren here in studio. Good
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 1: to see a coach happy super bowling to you?
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 17: Yeah, how about that. I'm good to see you guys too.
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 17: And you know what the feeling I had, you know,
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 17: so exciting, been there experienced. How how you feel after
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 17: winning one? And then the next day the next day
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 17: For me, I'm not saying Mike, we're not wired the
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 17: same way, but the next day I kind of just
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 17: had to take a breath and sit down and just yeah,
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 17: it's been it's been quite a season. And uh, bless
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 17: his heart. I mean the Seahawks yesterday they dominated it
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 17: that game. Yeah, they dominated the game. It wasn't just
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 17: one of those games where you're on your pins and needles. No, No,
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 17: they had it from the beginning.
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 1: Do you work so hard on the project of winning
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 1: a Super Bowl that you really don't I mean the path,
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 1: you don't enjoy the path? And then I mean because
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 1: Mike McDonald looked awestruck last night after it was all
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 1: over with, he just stood there and he looked up
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 1: around him and tried to soak it all land, which
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 1: I would advise everybody to do in.
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 2: That situation your first time around.
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 1: But it looked to him like, oh my gosh, I
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 1: did this, Mike McDonald, lill Mike McDonald from Centennial High.
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 3: I pulled this off.
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 1: Did you have a similar experience to that that you
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 1: get so bogged down in the hard work and the
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 1: climbing the rungs of the ladder that and till you
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 1: win the Super Bowl you don't even realize what you've done.
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I exactly.
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 17: I remember distinctly when we won the one in New
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 17: Orleans excuse me with Green Bay. And then I went
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 17: into my at the locker room in the in the dome,
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 17: they have the player's locker room, and then you had
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 17: a smaller room that was mine, just just a one
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 17: locker that's where the head coach was, the assistant coaches
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 17: are right in the room next tour. So I come
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 17: off the field and you know, first time in my
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 17: whole life I've been carried up on somebody's shoulders because
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 17: I'm big and so.
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 2: But they did it. Go in there and here.
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 17: Ron Wolf, Harlan and the president of the packers, all
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 17: these guys are in my locker room. They're just jumping
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 17: around in this little space and I go, oh, if
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 17: we're shaking hand, patting each other on the back. And
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 17: then all of a sudden it hit me. I said,
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 17: could you guys leave?
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 2: Wow? I said, could you leave the room please? And
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 2: they looked at me like, what's wrong with you?
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 18: What?
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 15: What?
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 2: What do you? What are you doing?
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 17: I said, I just need a moment by myself. Yeah,
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 17: And and they left, Thank you, and uh, you know,
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 17: I settle a prayer and then just just kind of
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 17: settled just a little bit because it is a it's
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 17: a remarkable feeling.
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 7: Wow.
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a great story.
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 3: That's a great story, Mike, amplify what settled means? Like,
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 3: I don't know if you can tell more. Maybe that's obvious,
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 3: but but is there anything more you can say? Where
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 3: what you think was it about? Uh? Your family about
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 3: how you started as a high school coach in San
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 3: Francisco area, Like, like, what do you mean settled in
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 3: that moment that had to be a really impactful moment
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 3: of your life.
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 17: Yeah, I mean you think about those things you you do,
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 17: certainly my family, you know.
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 2: Uh, you guys know the story.
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 17: Kathy didn't see any of my games for the last
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 17: seventeen years because she'd cared so much she'd get sick.
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 2: And so she'd.
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 17: See everybody come onto the field, cheer everybody, meet the
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 17: people who were in our box, and then she'd leave
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 17: the stadium wow, and walk around Pioneer Square or walk
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 17: around Green Bay, go to the theater, be the only
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 17: one in the theater. And then she'd tried to do
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 17: the same thing in New Orleans, and of course the
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 17: Super Bowl, you can't leave the stadium. So she walked
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 17: around with the hot dog guys in the in the
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 17: in the in the Yeah, and so I look for her.
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 17: They said, she's there, and so.
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 2: She's had fifteen hot dogs. Ye, she's waving the hot
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 2: dog at me. You know, nice going.
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 3: She had a couple of pimples by the recognized.
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 17: So but you I think, you know, I'm calling the game,
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 17: and i'm your You're in the game, and you're My
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 17: blood pressure is probably high, my heart's beating, and it
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 17: just physically I just had to kind of just okay,
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 17: think about your family, like you said, think about I
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 17: didn't think about the journey too much. Then I thought
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 17: about how happy I was for the players. And then
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 17: once once I got myself together, I went into the
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 17: locker room and did you do your thing?
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 7: You know?
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 2: But it's it's something coach.
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 4: I mean, obviously, the journey has so many little steps
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 4: and pieces along the way for you, and you're the
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 4: head coach and you're the play caller and you're directing
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 4: off it that it it's probably hard to keep a
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 4: look at the from the thirty thousand foot view, But
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 4: when you watch this team from the outside and you
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 4: no longer have all of the responsibilities of running an organization,
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 4: does it look to you somebody that's been there and
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 4: done that, like this thing went exactly the way that
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 4: he had planned. As far as Mike McDonald, he didn't
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 4: get lost in the shuffle even while he was, you know,
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 4: having to go through all the step by step stuff.
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 4: Just I mean, did it look to you, because to me,
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 4: it just kind of culminated last night. And that's the
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 4: blueprint that he had set out. Now, everybody has a
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 4: good blueprint, they just it's hard to stick to it sometimes.
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 17: Yeah, no, excuse me, Buck, You're right, exactly right. I
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 17: think that Mike is wired that way, I think, And
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 17: so his plan. He's very bright, and he knows defense
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 17: and he and he he loves it and he's a
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 17: good leader for his staff and getting the players to connect.
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 17: They talk about that all the time. So I think, yeah,
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 17: he set out a blueprint in the beginning and it
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 17: and it pretty much went that way, you know, even
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 17: when they weren't running the ball very well, even when
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 17: they might have stumble like they had against the Rams
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 17: when when Sam threw the four interceptions. But I think
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 17: his personality is one where he sticks with the plan
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 17: and he re emphasizes that with his players and they.
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 2: Respond to that.
• 1:14:02
  Speaker 17: They have responded to that to the point where that
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 17: game yesterday, you know, I thought it'd be relatively low
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 17: scoring and I had it twenty four to ten, you know,
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 17: but it it was kind of that kind of game.
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 17: And no, he set the table and he stayed with
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 17: it all season long, and now his big challenge. The
• 1:14:22
  Speaker 17: big challenge will be who's the next offensive courts.
• 1:14:25
  Speaker 1: That's right, Mike Homegren is with us, You Millan is
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 1: with us. We haven't even talked about Sam Darnold with
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 1: Hugh yet. So we're going to get to the quarterback
• 1:14:34
  Speaker 1: in a moment. But I think this game and the
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 1: analysis of this game has to start on the defensive
• 1:14:39
  Speaker 1: side of the ball. I mean, they held the Patriots
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 1: to seventy eight yards of offense through three quarters. It
• 1:14:45
  Speaker 1: was twelve to nothing at the end of the third quarter,
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 1: ends up being twenty nine to thirteen. I mean, you
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 1: were an offensive mind, offensive minded head coach, and yet
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 1: in order to be great at offense, you've got to
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 1: be able to recognize a defense because you got.
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 2: To solve it.
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 1: Could you have solved Mike McDonald's defense the way it's
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 1: going right now? I mean, what would have been the
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 1: what would have been the difficulties and going up against
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 1: this thing that just if you give him two weeks,
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 1: he's just shredding everybody.
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 17: Yeah, I think, uh yeah, that's how the game played out. However,
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 17: I was disappointed, I would be disappointed in how New
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 17: England handled it on offense.
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 17: Clearly their plan that they had it wasn't working. It
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 17: just wasn't working. Yeah, he didn't have enough time to
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 17: throw most of the time. And listen, I'm not taking
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 17: anything away from the Hawks, because they really did have
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 17: a defensive plan that was very difficult. But I'm going
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 17: to say, okay, but I'm gonna I'm I'm going to
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 17: attack this thing and get some things going. Yeap, it
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 17: might you might change what you're doing. You're not throwing
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 17: the ball on the seventeen yard routes down the field
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 17: because you don't have time. Okay, I'm gonna get first
• 1:15:59
  Speaker 17: downs running the ball and completing six yard passes. That's
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 17: how I'm going to do. Get the ball out of
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 17: his hand, you know. Okay, so they tackle a guy
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 17: right away, but I got first downs and I move
• 1:16:08
  Speaker 17: in the ball right you know, And you didn't see
• 1:16:10
  Speaker 17: any of that. Now, having said that, their pressure with
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 17: four guys allowed them to you know, they might not
• 1:16:19
  Speaker 17: get there in time, but there's a lot of stuff
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 17: going on in front. And for a young quarterback, I
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 17: think he was affected by that. I don't understand that
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 17: he hasn't played a lot of football in the NFL.
• 1:16:34
  Speaker 17: So you play a game like that, and then what's
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 17: behind the four guys are a lot of athletes, a
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 17: lot of speed, a lot of toughness. Oh golly sakes, yeah,
• 1:16:45
  Speaker 17: and then you get well in Minuri. You have quite
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 17: a group back there and love the safeties. They're all
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 17: very active and so that Mike can do a lot
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 17: of things back there, and including blitzing from the from
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 17: the secondary.
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 2: So it was.
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 17: Hard on me, but I would say, don't don't go
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 17: back there and try and throw the eighteen yard turn
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 17: in or whatever it's.
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 2: You don't have time.
• 1:17:12
  Speaker 17: And they got a lot of guys back there and
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 17: their defense, their defense did a great job.
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 2: Mike.
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 3: I think the matchup, if you can call it, Mike
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 3: mcdan donald the defensive play caller against Josh McDaniels, the
• 1:17:24
  Speaker 3: Patriots offensive play caller, was obviously just game set match
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 3: in a decisive way. The Patriots fifty three dropbacks, they
• 1:17:34
  Speaker 3: only used play action six times, so that eleven percent
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 3: rate where they had been twenty four percent for the season.
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 3: They they only put him out of the pocket on
• 1:17:47
  Speaker 3: a on a boot one time out of the entire
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 3: game that you know, whereas like Sam Donald had five.
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 3: There was one screen pass they called the entire game,
• 1:17:56
  Speaker 3: and it was with twelve seconds remaining in the game. Uh,
• 1:18:00
  Speaker 3: you know, there was just somehow Mike McDonald got into McDaniel,
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 3: who has six Super Bowl rings, he got in his
• 1:18:07
  Speaker 3: head seemingly and you know with uh, after three quarters
• 1:18:13
  Speaker 3: of twelve nothing and the Patriots on a pace to
• 1:18:16
  Speaker 3: have one hundred and four total yards for the game,
• 1:18:18
  Speaker 3: like this was really a trouncing. What's were some thoughts
• 1:18:22
  Speaker 3: that you had in terms of that matchup. I know
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 3: you've kind of touched on them, but but that that
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 3: that was startling to me.
• 1:18:28
  Speaker 17: Yeah, that was and that was the game. Now think
• 1:18:31
  Speaker 17: of it, Hugh and you guys bucking Jock. They you're
• 1:18:36
  Speaker 17: head twelve to nothing. If I'm the other team, I'm
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 17: still in this game. I can get a touchdown and
• 1:18:43
  Speaker 17: then it's twelve, you know, And but then you had
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 17: the feeling. I had the feeling twelve to nothing, they're
• 1:18:48
  Speaker 17: gonna they don't need anymore they don't need any more points.
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 17: And that's that was my point. I was disappointed on
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 17: how the how they ran their offense. Now, having said that, guys,
• 1:19:02
  Speaker 17: their offensive line is not very good and number fifty
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 17: eight their left guard. I was watching him, poor guy.
• 1:19:09
  Speaker 17: I mean he looked like he looked like I had
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 17: in high school. I had one guy that weighs two
• 1:19:15
  Speaker 17: hundred and fifty pounds and he, you know, he was
• 1:19:17
  Speaker 17: a big, heavy guy and we had him at garden tackle.
• 1:19:21
  Speaker 17: He just prayed he didn't get hurt in the game
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 17: and stuff like that. That's what it reminded me of,
• 1:19:26
  Speaker 17: you know, because they just got steamrolled over there, and
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 17: as I started feeling, and then they helped try and
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 17: help each other and then all of a sudden, here
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 17: comes a blitz from the secondary.
• 1:19:35
  Speaker 2: So no, I you know.
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 17: The other thing I looked at is that they scored
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 17: seventeen points on turnovers the Hawks. Yeah, they only scored
• 1:19:45
  Speaker 17: twenty nine points for the game. So that's you know,
• 1:19:50
  Speaker 17: that's that was the game, and that typically does games,
• 1:19:54
  Speaker 17: wins games for you, but they New England.
• 1:19:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Tanswerr question you.
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 2: I was disappointed in the play selection, you.
• 1:20:04
  Speaker 3: Know, Mike, I kind of think it's fun to rank,
• 1:20:08
  Speaker 3: and I'll rank just about anything. I'll rank Christmas music
• 1:20:10
  Speaker 3: and Thanksgiving, uh you know, uh, food and and and
• 1:20:15
  Speaker 3: this and and so in my own mind, perhaps other
• 1:20:18
  Speaker 3: Seahawk fans mind. I'm I'm at the point where I'm
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 3: kind of a little bit eager to compare Mike McDonald
• 1:20:25
  Speaker 3: to Pete Carroll defensively, and I'll tell you. I'll just
• 1:20:29
  Speaker 3: tell you the conclusion I have. I think Pete Carroll
• 1:20:32
  Speaker 3: was phenomenal. But you put a pistol to my temple.
• 1:20:38
  Speaker 3: I'm saying that Mike McDonald is smarter. I think he's
• 1:20:42
  Speaker 3: smarter in football. I think he runs a more complicated offense.
• 1:20:45
  Speaker 3: I think he teaches it better. I think Pete Carroll
• 1:20:48
  Speaker 3: had slightly better players during the heyday of the lesion
• 1:20:51
  Speaker 3: of Boone. We'll see, we'll see if these other guys develop,
• 1:20:54
  Speaker 3: and maybe we can revise that thought. But I'm just
• 1:20:57
  Speaker 3: I'll just say it, real, bluntly and flatly. I think
• 1:20:59
  Speaker 3: Mike McDonald's better defense of my Pete Carroll. Uh, do
• 1:21:03
  Speaker 3: you have a reaction to that opinion.
• 1:21:05
  Speaker 17: I think I'm going to stay away from that one
• 1:21:07
  Speaker 17: because I like stuffing more than candy yams.
• 1:21:10
  Speaker 3: You know, I got it, I got it, all right,
• 1:21:15
  Speaker 3: I understand it. I understand it all right.
• 1:21:17
  Speaker 4: Well, would you compare just the units by chance? I
• 1:21:21
  Speaker 4: mean When you compare Legion of Boom and the Dark Side,
• 1:21:24
  Speaker 4: I mean that both of them dominating carry their teams
• 1:21:27
  Speaker 4: to Super Bowl victories. I mean there's similarities and yet
• 1:21:31
  Speaker 4: there's differences. How do you compare those two, right?
• 1:21:33
  Speaker 2: I know?
• 1:21:33
  Speaker 17: I think I think they had a different style of
• 1:21:37
  Speaker 17: athlete the style of defense. The Legion of Boom I
• 1:21:43
  Speaker 17: think athletic. I can't say athletically because these guys are
• 1:21:47
  Speaker 17: really fast and they tackled, they're tough, but they they
• 1:21:51
  Speaker 17: don't have that. They don't have I guess the quote
• 1:21:53
  Speaker 17: unquote all stars at positions like that that group did.
• 1:21:57
  Speaker 17: And getting back to Hughes point, I didn't poke, but
• 1:22:01
  Speaker 17: I think Pete. Pete didn't call the defenses. You know, Yeah,
• 1:22:05
  Speaker 17: guys do that. So if you're the if you're the
• 1:22:07
  Speaker 17: head coach and you're you've chosen to call the defenses
• 1:22:13
  Speaker 17: or call the offenses, then you hand the ball to
• 1:22:16
  Speaker 17: your coordinator, the other guy, the defensive coordinator or the
• 1:22:19
  Speaker 17: offensive coordinator, and let him, let him roll and try
• 1:22:24
  Speaker 17: not to interfere with him. Now, of course, if you're
• 1:22:26
  Speaker 17: the head coach, you have say over everything, and you're
• 1:22:29
  Speaker 17: kind of you know, but I never walked into the
• 1:22:31
  Speaker 17: defensive room. Never I talked to the coach. I never
• 1:22:35
  Speaker 17: went in there, and I think Pete did a little
• 1:22:37
  Speaker 17: of that back and forth, and so I think there's
• 1:22:41
  Speaker 17: a difference there on how both those guys are great coaches,
• 1:22:44
  Speaker 17: but how they approach their profession.
• 1:22:47
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna save Sam for our next segment so we
• 1:22:49
  Speaker 1: can talk about the quarterback with both the coach and Hugh,
• 1:22:52
  Speaker 1: since we haven't done a lot of that here in
• 1:22:54
  Speaker 1: the last hour and a half. But I at least
• 1:22:56
  Speaker 1: got to get before we close this segment your thoughts,
• 1:22:59
  Speaker 1: because I don't want run out of time on the
• 1:23:01
  Speaker 1: Super Bowl MVP Ken Walker. He's been a little bit
• 1:23:04
  Speaker 1: of a mystery to us. So we've all, I think,
• 1:23:07
  Speaker 1: on this show seen the talent I was. I think
• 1:23:10
  Speaker 1: I predicted like a fifteen hundred yard season in his
• 1:23:13
  Speaker 1: second year. He's just hasn't achieved those statistical milestones since
• 1:23:17
  Speaker 1: he's been here. Why from what you can tell that
• 1:23:21
  Speaker 1: he suddenly become that back when the playoffs.
• 1:23:24
  Speaker 17: Started this year because Sharviney got hurt. Walker had twenty
• 1:23:28
  Speaker 17: seven carries yesterday and then that in my day, that
• 1:23:32
  Speaker 17: was about right, John Alexander, you care the ball. You
• 1:23:34
  Speaker 17: had him the ball, that's what you do, and so
• 1:23:37
  Speaker 17: your numbers are going to be better. And I think
• 1:23:39
  Speaker 17: a back gets better as the game goes along the
• 1:23:42
  Speaker 17: more he carries the ball. And you saw it yesterday
• 1:23:45
  Speaker 17: and you've seen it in the playoffs, and I think
• 1:23:47
  Speaker 17: that's the number one thing. His style now, his style,
• 1:23:51
  Speaker 17: you know, when he starts left and then jumps all
• 1:23:54
  Speaker 17: the way to the right. Sometimes it doesn't work, you know,
• 1:23:57
  Speaker 17: and you lose a yard. But a lot of times
• 1:23:59
  Speaker 17: he broke contain. That's the other thing about New England.
• 1:24:03
  Speaker 17: They've got a great defense. He broke contain a couple
• 1:24:05
  Speaker 17: of times because there was no one out, There was
• 1:24:07
  Speaker 17: no one forcing him back into the middle. And so
• 1:24:11
  Speaker 17: but he can do that because he's fast and he
• 1:24:12
  Speaker 17: can do that. I was very he I met him.
• 1:24:15
  Speaker 17: I've talked to him a few times. I really like
• 1:24:17
  Speaker 17: the young man and it'll be interesting to see what
• 1:24:20
  Speaker 17: they do contractually with him. But I was happy for
• 1:24:23
  Speaker 17: him yesterday and I he was my We had a
• 1:24:25
  Speaker 17: family vote in MVP, so I voted.
• 1:24:28
  Speaker 1: For him before the game, or during the game or
• 1:24:30
  Speaker 1: after the game. Okay, all right, all right, well let's
• 1:24:34
  Speaker 1: go ahead. Let's let's take a break. We'll come back
• 1:24:36
  Speaker 1: on the other side. We'll talk about the quarterback Sam
• 1:24:39
  Speaker 1: Darnold here with our QB one and of course uh
• 1:24:42
  Speaker 1: quarterback co Jang Langen, Mike Holmgren. It's Monday morning, quarterback,
• 1:24:46

  Speaker 18: But you know, I was just spending more time with
• 1:24:59
  Speaker 18: Sam on all these inner It's like Sam doesn't care
• 1:25:01
  Speaker 18: about the obstacle. Like everyone's made a narrative of this guy.
• 1:25:06
  Speaker 2: Of like everyone is.
• 1:25:08
  Speaker 18: They have tried to put a story and a label
• 1:25:12
  Speaker 18: on who he is as a person who is a quarterback.
• 1:25:15
  Speaker 18: He does not care. Okay, he just is the same
• 1:25:18
  Speaker 18: guy every day since he shows up.
• 1:25:20
  Speaker 2: He's so steadfast, he's.
• 1:25:22
  Speaker 18: A great teammate, the teammates, his teammates love him, always done,
• 1:25:27
  Speaker 18: since he's walked in the door. Has just been a
• 1:25:29
  Speaker 18: tremendous player on our football team and a tremendous leader
• 1:25:32
  Speaker 18: who is the same guy every day. And that's who
• 1:25:34
  Speaker 18: he is, and that's how we need to talk about.
• 1:25:36
  Speaker 7: Him moving forward.
• 1:25:39
  Speaker 1: That's why they get along so well. They do not care.
• 1:25:44
  Speaker 1: Mike McDonald makes it very clear we did not care.
• 1:25:48
  Speaker 1: We are a pair that does not care.
• 1:25:51
  Speaker 2: Chuck Buck Ashley with you.
• 1:25:53

• 1:27:13
  Speaker 1: George Carlson out a tweet saying the four things he
• 1:27:16
  Speaker 1: wants to have happened this year is We've already got
• 1:27:19
  Speaker 1: two Super Bowl, World Cup is coming. There's no getting
• 1:27:23
  Speaker 1: there's that. Nothing's going to get in the way of that.
• 1:27:25
  Speaker 1: I don't think Mariners winning at all, in the Sonics returning,
• 1:27:28
  Speaker 1: wouldn't that be a year?
• 1:27:29
  Speaker 2: Well, that would be something, wouldn't that be something?
• 1:27:33
  Speaker 3: And they're all very very possible.
• 1:27:35
  Speaker 2: Coaching very possible.
• 1:27:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, Well let's talk Sam Donald. We have
• 1:27:40
  Speaker 1: not talked a lot of Sam Donald here in our
• 1:27:42
  Speaker 1: two hours of Monday morning quarterback, So I just open
• 1:27:45
  Speaker 1: up the floor to both of you. We'll start with you, coach.
• 1:27:48
  Speaker 1: I mean, he wasn't the most accurate.
• 1:27:50
  Speaker 2: He was also.
• 1:27:51
  Speaker 1: Harassed quite a bit, just like Drake May. But in
• 1:27:55
  Speaker 1: the end, he's a Super Bowl champion. What did you
• 1:27:57
  Speaker 1: think of Sam's performance last night?
• 1:27:59
  Speaker 17: I thought he he played exactly the way I thought
• 1:28:01
  Speaker 17: he would play, you know, And I've been in his
• 1:28:03
  Speaker 17: corner corner of the whole season, and he strikes I
• 1:28:08
  Speaker 17: don't I've never met him, I don't know him, but
• 1:28:11
  Speaker 17: when I watch him play, he strikes me. He's very,
• 1:28:13
  Speaker 17: very analytical. He is everything Mike McDonald's said in the
• 1:28:17
  Speaker 17: lead up that that you know, he doesn't. He just
• 1:28:20
  Speaker 17: going to be the leader. He's going to be help
• 1:28:23
  Speaker 17: everybody on the team win the game and do my
• 1:28:26
  Speaker 17: best to do that. He doesn't have to do everything,
• 1:28:29
  Speaker 17: as he has said many times, and so I couldn't
• 1:28:32
  Speaker 17: be happier for the young man. He has been through
• 1:28:35
  Speaker 17: a fair amount of stuff in his career in the league,
• 1:28:38
  Speaker 17: and unfortunately people do dwell on those things, and they
• 1:28:42
  Speaker 17: did it a little bit this year even well, we
• 1:28:44
  Speaker 17: got to wait, but now, you know, it'd be interesting
• 1:28:47
  Speaker 17: to see what happens now because he was the quarterback
• 1:28:50
  Speaker 17: of the Super Bowl winning team and had a lot
• 1:28:52
  Speaker 17: to do with them getting there and winning the game.
• 1:28:55
  Speaker 17: He had a lot to do with that. But now
• 1:28:59
  Speaker 17: will Pete can he do it again?
• 1:29:02
  Speaker 7: You know? You know what?
• 1:29:03
  Speaker 2: Probably? I mean, you go, you go.
• 1:29:06
  Speaker 17: You can never win. So how do you handle that?
• 1:29:08
  Speaker 17: He handles it the way he handles it. Hey, I
• 1:29:11
  Speaker 17: do my job. I care about my teammates, I care
• 1:29:13
  Speaker 17: about my coach. I'm gonna do my job here.
• 1:29:17
  Speaker 2: What do you think of Sam last night?
• 1:29:19
  Speaker 3: Well, I would say, first of all, not every Super
• 1:29:23
  Speaker 3: Bowl winning quarterback paints a Rembrandt right, and just in
• 1:29:28
  Speaker 3: you know, since two thousand, the list of quarterbacks who
• 1:29:34
  Speaker 3: have won a Super Bowl with a passer rating in
• 1:29:38
  Speaker 3: the seventies or worse, it's not just Brad Johnson. Do
• 1:29:42
  Speaker 3: you know these names? Pat Mahomes, Tom Brady Peyton, Manning,
• 1:29:46
  Speaker 3: Ben Roethlisberger, all winning quarterbacks and in that game had
• 1:29:52
  Speaker 3: a passer rating in the seventies or worse. Sam Darnold
• 1:29:55
  Speaker 3: was seventy five yesterday. Mahomes has also had a different
• 1:29:59
  Speaker 3: Super Bowl under and eighty two passing yards. So sometimes, Mike, right,
• 1:30:04
  Speaker 3: you just have to play the game for how it's
• 1:30:07
  Speaker 3: playing out. He knew he had a defense that was
• 1:30:11
  Speaker 3: playing well. And by the way the NFL staff portal
• 1:30:15
  Speaker 3: they have Drake May had fourteen quarterback pressures. Sam Donold
• 1:30:20
  Speaker 3: had fifteen. That's the same number as Pat Mahomes had
• 1:30:24
  Speaker 3: in the Super Bowl last year by that metric, and
• 1:30:29
  Speaker 3: the Chiefs were getting killed through three quarters. Mahomes had
• 1:30:34
  Speaker 3: a fifty five passer rating. So I think what Donald
• 1:30:38
  Speaker 3: did is he managed the game how it needed to
• 1:30:41
  Speaker 3: be managed. He didn't have any turnovers. How about the
• 1:30:44
  Speaker 3: irony there Donald and the Seahawks first Super Bowl winning
• 1:30:48
  Speaker 3: team to not have a turnover through the entire playoffs.
• 1:30:51
  Speaker 3: Count Week eighteen against the forty nine ers, and he
• 1:30:54
  Speaker 3: hasn't had a turnover. And yeah, he missed, you know,
• 1:30:58
  Speaker 3: he missed a couple of long shots to Shaheed. I
• 1:31:01
  Speaker 3: think his biggest miss was that missing that post to
• 1:31:06
  Speaker 3: Mike to JSN right before halftime. I mean, beautiful design
• 1:31:11
  Speaker 3: to play right Hash get him isolated as the X.
• 1:31:14
  Speaker 3: Everybody's pushing over the to the boundary, wide open area
• 1:31:18
  Speaker 3: to hit hit the touchdown. He threw it behind him.
• 1:31:21
  Speaker 3: I'm sure that's the one that he'll He'll kick him
• 1:31:24
  Speaker 3: the most. He got lucky there, Gonzalez could have had
• 1:31:26
  Speaker 3: the intercession, but he's been unlucky throughout the season. I
• 1:31:29
  Speaker 3: just thought, you know, how he managed the pocket, how
• 1:31:33
  Speaker 3: he managed the pressure, his awareness of how his defense
• 1:31:36
  Speaker 3: was playing. He had a winning performance. Won't be the best,
• 1:31:40
  Speaker 3: but you know a lot of other guys have have
• 1:31:42
  Speaker 3: played it that way and put Super Bowl rings on
• 1:31:45
  Speaker 3: their fingers too.
• 1:31:46
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 1:31:46
  Speaker 17: And that's such a good point. And when you said
• 1:31:49
  Speaker 17: how the game was going, you you know, in the
• 1:31:51
  Speaker 17: third quarter, after the field goal that made it twelve
• 1:31:54
  Speaker 17: to nothing, Okay, I'm looking at it, New England three
• 1:31:57
  Speaker 17: and out, Hawks three and out, New England three and out,
• 1:32:01
  Speaker 17: Hawks three and out. So and then it went that
• 1:32:05
  Speaker 17: way until until until they had the fumble, recovered the fumble,
• 1:32:10
  Speaker 17: that was the way. So it seemed to me, like,
• 1:32:13
  Speaker 17: I don't know this for a fact, but it seemed
• 1:32:15
  Speaker 17: to me like Clinton was saying, or Mike was saying,
• 1:32:19
  Speaker 17: we're head twelve to nothing if we don't do if
• 1:32:23
  Speaker 17: we don't make a mistake here, yeah, the game's opening,
• 1:32:27
  Speaker 17: and then then then it was kind of called that
• 1:32:29
  Speaker 17: way until the turnovers.
• 1:32:31
  Speaker 3: Mike, I'm curious your take on this thought today for
• 1:32:35
  Speaker 3: the first time in his life. Sam Darl's gonna wake
• 1:32:38
  Speaker 3: up and he's gonna look in the mirror and he's
• 1:32:41
  Speaker 3: gonna see a Super Bowl champion staring back at him.
• 1:32:45
  Speaker 3: For the first day ever, when he walks through the building,
• 1:32:48
  Speaker 3: everybody can talk about the confidence that everybody has. Hey,
• 1:32:52
  Speaker 3: we got his back, you know, fu if you don't
• 1:32:54
  Speaker 3: support him, all of that is really meaningful. But now,
• 1:32:58
  Speaker 3: for the first time, when Sam Arnold walks through that building,
• 1:33:01
  Speaker 3: every teammate who lays eyes on him, every coach who
• 1:33:04
  Speaker 3: lays eyes on him, the secretary's everybody in the building
• 1:33:09
  Speaker 3: knows he can deliver a world championship, and they can
• 1:33:13
  Speaker 3: talk about how they knew he could. But now he's
• 1:33:16
  Speaker 3: done it, and what to what extent might we see
• 1:33:19
  Speaker 3: a twenty eight year old Sam Donald with all of that,
• 1:33:23
  Speaker 3: all that physical skill and now what he's acquired. I mean,
• 1:33:27
  Speaker 3: I hope this is a springboard. Mike, is that a
• 1:33:29
  Speaker 3: realistic thought? What's your thought in that area about how
• 1:33:32
  Speaker 3: this could change Sam Donald?
• 1:33:34
  Speaker 17: I think it is a realistic thought. I think he's
• 1:33:36
  Speaker 17: although his personality is won I think that he'll balance things,
• 1:33:41
  Speaker 17: you know, and my experience with that exact thing happening
• 1:33:46
  Speaker 17: was when we got Steve Young and with the forty
• 1:33:48
  Speaker 17: nine ers, Joe Montana was there. Steve came in. I
• 1:33:51
  Speaker 17: had coached him in college. I knew him, okay. And
• 1:33:54
  Speaker 17: then but it was Joe's team. Joe won Super Bowl
• 1:33:57
  Speaker 17: st He was the backup. He came in and played
• 1:33:59
  Speaker 17: some okay. Then Joe leaves goes and Steve becomes the quarterback.
• 1:34:05
  Speaker 17: And if you remember that, Mike chant I left, Mike
• 1:34:07
  Speaker 17: Shannan comes in, Steve's the quarterback. They win the Super Bowl,
• 1:34:11
  Speaker 17: and the first thing he said at his press conference,
• 1:34:15
  Speaker 17: he goes, I got the monkey off my back. Yeah,
• 1:34:18
  Speaker 17: you remember that. He said, I got the monkey off
• 1:34:20
  Speaker 17: my back. And then he went on to become the
• 1:34:22
  Speaker 17: Hall of Fame. He went on from there to play
• 1:34:24
  Speaker 17: a lot more and play great, be a Hall of
• 1:34:27
  Speaker 17: Fame quarterback. So I don't care what personality the quarterback has.
• 1:34:31
  Speaker 17: And I had a bunch of different ones that if
• 1:34:34
  Speaker 17: you get in a position like you said, and look
• 1:34:36
  Speaker 17: in the mirror and you can say, we won the
• 1:34:41
  Speaker 17: Super Bowl and I was a quarterback. You know he's
• 1:34:44
  Speaker 17: smiling into that mirror. You just know it. You can't
• 1:34:48
  Speaker 17: help it. Yeah, because it's a special thing that not
• 1:34:50
  Speaker 17: everyone can do.
• 1:34:52
  Speaker 4: How much sweeter is it when there's people that maybe
• 1:34:55
  Speaker 4: are counting you out, or if you're coming off of
• 1:34:57
  Speaker 4: failure in any way, shape or form, right last season
• 1:35:00
  Speaker 4: didn't go the way you wanted, or you you didn't
• 1:35:03
  Speaker 4: win the big game or whatever it is, when you
• 1:35:05
  Speaker 4: finally do, how much sweeter does it taste?
• 1:35:08
  Speaker 2: I think it's.
• 1:35:08
  Speaker 17: I think it's really it heals a lot of wounds
• 1:35:12
  Speaker 17: in my opinion, you know, it's and I would say
• 1:35:16
  Speaker 17: the same thing for coaches quite honestly, you go in there,
• 1:35:20
  Speaker 17: I think Marv Levy, you know in Buffalo, you lost
• 1:35:22
  Speaker 17: four Super Bowls. If he ever won, you know, think
• 1:35:26
  Speaker 17: of what how he would feel? What if you got
• 1:35:27
  Speaker 17: to the fifth one and won it? So it's and
• 1:35:30
  Speaker 17: you know, it's it's sweet to answer your question, Booky.
• 1:35:35
  Speaker 17: You know you've you struggled, and his struggle, his path
• 1:35:38
  Speaker 17: to get there. That doesn't that's that's something that is
• 1:35:43
  Speaker 17: really something. So I couldn't be happier for him.
• 1:35:46
  Speaker 1: As you pointed out, the pressure was pretty much the same.
• 1:35:49
  Speaker 1: I mean, Sam's facing just as much pressure as Drake may,
• 1:35:52
  Speaker 1: but obviously had a lot more success early Drake patted
• 1:35:56
  Speaker 1: the stat line in the fourth quarter, but the game
• 1:35:59
  Speaker 1: pretty much over at that point. They're about equivalent athletes.
• 1:36:03
  Speaker 1: May is considered probably the better athlete. And yet how
• 1:36:07
  Speaker 1: key was Sam's escapability. I mean, they're faced on the
• 1:36:10
  Speaker 1: same amount of pressure, but Sam kept slipping out and
• 1:36:14
  Speaker 1: still completing passes where May was just falling in a
• 1:36:17
  Speaker 1: heap beneath some Seahawk defensive tackle.
• 1:36:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:36:21
  Speaker 17: I think what you saw, if you're gonna compare the
• 1:36:25
  Speaker 17: two in the game, you saw experience versus youth. That's
• 1:36:31
  Speaker 17: one thing. But you have to give Sam credit for
• 1:36:34
  Speaker 17: his ability. He gets out of jams. He's pretty good
• 1:36:37
  Speaker 17: at that. Yeah, And he gets out of jams where
• 1:36:40
  Speaker 17: ducks or he gets moved, and then he's aware to
• 1:36:42
  Speaker 17: get rid of the ball if he doesn't have it.
• 1:36:46
  Speaker 17: Excuse me, if he doesn't have anything. I think Drake
• 1:36:48
  Speaker 17: May yesterday. You know, Drake May is gonna be fine.
• 1:36:52
  Speaker 17: He's gonna be fine. But yesterday he held onto the
• 1:36:55
  Speaker 17: ball when he should have thrown it away. It happened
• 1:36:58
  Speaker 17: a few times because he had the ball. You would
• 1:37:01
  Speaker 17: know this, and I don't know this, but it seemed
• 1:37:03
  Speaker 17: like he had the ball holding it the ball and
• 1:37:05
  Speaker 17: I'm gonna throw it, throw it, get rid of it,
• 1:37:07
  Speaker 17: and then all of a sudden sack like he was
• 1:37:09
  Speaker 17: holding it a long time. So but Sam has that
• 1:37:14
  Speaker 17: ability and uh and that comes with experience.
• 1:37:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he had a sack.
• 1:37:19
  Speaker 3: The NFL had it at exactly five point zero seconds,
• 1:37:21
  Speaker 3: another one at four point four. I think all of
• 1:37:25
  Speaker 3: them were over three seconds except for one at two
• 1:37:27
  Speaker 3: point eight. So you're right, Mike. The clock bear bears
• 1:37:32
  Speaker 3: that out. But you know, I think for the movement
• 1:37:34
  Speaker 3: of a quarterback, Mike, it's a little like when I
• 1:37:38
  Speaker 3: coached youth in high school. It's like goldilocks in the porche,
• 1:37:41
  Speaker 3: not too hot, not too cold. You don't want to
• 1:37:44
  Speaker 3: be an iron deer on the lawn just a statue,
• 1:37:48
  Speaker 3: but you don't want to be skittish and getting out
• 1:37:50
  Speaker 3: of there all the time and responding to pressure that
• 1:37:53
  Speaker 3: really isn't there. I thought Darnold had some plays yesterday
• 1:37:57
  Speaker 3: like the play that does she heat over the middle
• 1:37:59
  Speaker 3: of the sixth teen yard or uh where I mean,
• 1:38:02
  Speaker 3: he was just getting smoked. But he stood in there
• 1:38:05
  Speaker 3: and he knew he was gonna take the hit. But
• 1:38:06
  Speaker 3: he took the hit and he delivered an accurate ball
• 1:38:09
  Speaker 3: at the touchdown pass.
• 1:38:11
  Speaker 7: Uh.
• 1:38:11
  Speaker 3: You know, there's there's there's you know, go back to
• 1:38:13
  Speaker 3: the NFC Championship game. There's a lot of times where
• 1:38:16
  Speaker 3: you watch that end zone copy and he's getting dusted
• 1:38:20
  Speaker 3: on good passes that are caught, you know. And and
• 1:38:24
  Speaker 3: so I think that he at this point in his career, Mike,
• 1:38:28
  Speaker 3: he's doing a pretty good job of making the porridge
• 1:38:31
  Speaker 3: just the right temperature. He's not moving too much nor
• 1:38:34
  Speaker 3: too little, and when he stands stationary, he's delivering when
• 1:38:37
  Speaker 3: he knows he's gonna get hit.
• 1:38:38
  Speaker 17: Yeah, I think that's correct. And when I watched Drake
• 1:38:41
  Speaker 17: May play yesterday, it was like the porridges. Yes, he
• 1:38:45
  Speaker 17: get frozen, he gets the Yeah, he get frozen just
• 1:38:49
  Speaker 17: a little bit. But then I'm saying, how many times
• 1:38:53
  Speaker 17: was he dropped back right behind center? That's his drop
• 1:38:56
  Speaker 17: point For all the rushers in the world, that's where
• 1:38:59
  Speaker 17: he's going to be. Don't do get him out of there,
• 1:39:03
  Speaker 17: move him around, give him a chance, you know. And
• 1:39:06
  Speaker 17: that also builds confidence because he has a play all
• 1:39:09
  Speaker 17: of a sudden, he's moving around, he makes a completion boom.
• 1:39:12
  Speaker 1: That all helps Yeah, Seahawks World Champs twenty nine thirteen
