• 3:44
  Speaker 4: planning for you today. Let's light this firecracker. And you know,
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: normally football Friday is when you reserve, you know, your
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: final judgment. You've taken all the information that you can
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: possibly take from the week. You've listened to your experts.
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: You know, some from here, some from there, some from everywhere,
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: and then you get around no cliche keys to victory
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: at six forty five on Friday, and you're pretty much like, Okay,
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: this is what's going to take to win? Are and
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: then are we going to win? I'm not gonna wait
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: till tomorrow. I have enough information gathered. I have heard
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: it like a shepherd of football information, and I think
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: the final piece of information that I needed. I'm driving
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: home last yesterday after the show, MJ's got Ray Ratto on.
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: Ray Rado has been covering the San Francisco forty nine
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: Ers for years. I mean, this goes all the way
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: back to when I did national stuff and he used
• 4:40
  Speaker 4: to be our forty nine ers guy when I worked
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: in Vegas, and so ray Rado has been covering this
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: organization for years and ray Rado MJ asked ray Rato
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: about the Seahawks chances kind of roughly was the Seahawks
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: chances in the game on Saturday? Rado said, I think
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: the Seahawks are gonna hammer them, and I'm like, that's
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: how I feel. Yeah, you know and not gonna apologize
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: for it. And I think I can boastfully say I
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: don't think it's local bias. I just feel that, you know,
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: at the beginning of the season, maybe I underestimated the
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: San Francisco forty nine ers. It's clear that I did.
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: I did too. But and Kyle Shanahan, who I've said
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: should be Coach of the Year this year in the
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: National Football League for everything he's overcome, But the truth
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: of the matter is they still have so much more
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: to overcome. I mean, this isn't us facing that team
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: we faced on opening Day. This is a team that's
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: without Nick Bosa. Might get Fred Warner back, but it
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: doesn't sound like he'll make it back in time. Doesn't
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: have George Kittle, doesn't have Brandon Ayuk, who was supposed
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: to be on this team by now, may not have
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: Ricky Piersall. Even if they do have him, he's not
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: going to be one hundred percent. Trent Williams isn't one
• 5:57
  Speaker 4: hundred percent at left tackle. They've had a couple of
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: different injury He's on their offensive line. You know, we
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: can sit here and talk about Shannan versus McDonald and
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: genius versus genius, and one guy's gonna make adjustments and
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: is the other guy going to be ready for it?
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: But it's whether or not you got the horses or not,
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: whether you've got the man power or not. We kind
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: of stumbled into this topic yesterday as a joke the
• 6:19
  Speaker 4: I've got a guy for that, But the more I
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: think about it, Mike McDonald has that in his back pocket.
• 6:25
  Speaker 4: I don't think Kyle Shanahan does. I got a guy
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: for that. If there's a situation that pops up. All
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: my dudes are healthy, all my dudes arrested, All of
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: my dudes just stomped the crap out of you just
• 6:39
  Speaker 4: two weeks ago, and are feeling pretty good about this matchup.
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: I'm not predicting a blowout here, but I am predicting
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: another convincing victory from the Seattle Seahawks against the San
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: Francisco forty nine ers. I just think, and this is
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: what Rado pointed out, at some point, you just got
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: to look at whether or not you've got the man
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: power to get the job done in this situation. So
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: to me, it's not about trying to figure out x's
• 7:05
  Speaker 4: and o's and who's going to gain the upper hand.
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: Barring a horrible turnover day or a couple unlucky bounces,
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: I don't see anything getting in the way of the
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: Seahawks and posting a victory and doing it rather comfortably
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: on Saturday. I feel as confident about this as I
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: did about that Commander's prediction earlier this year, where it
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: was the same situation. That's a pretty good team from
• 7:29
  Speaker 4: a year ago, and they still have their high aspirations,
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: but they're really banged up, and they're older than our team,
• 7:36
  Speaker 4: and they're not as fast as our team, and we're
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: coming off of a bye week and they're coming off
• 7:42
  Speaker 4: of even more guys getting injured from the week before.
• 7:45
  Speaker 4: And that, to me is the same sort of two
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: trains arriving at the station at the same time. And
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: I just feel like our train is just it does
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: not need repairs right now, and at some point it
• 7:57
  Speaker 4: really just comes down to the Jimmies and the Joe's
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: and we've just got more healthy, good players than what
• 8:03
  Speaker 4: the forty nine ers have going into Saturday. Period.
• 8:06
  Speaker 5: Yeah, well, I mean, it's not hard to see how
• 8:09
  Speaker 5: you get there. And I mean I the longer the
• 8:11
  Speaker 5: season goes and even last week they don't play, and
• 8:14
  Speaker 5: yet you know, a couple teams are ejected, and now
• 8:16
  Speaker 5: you find yourself right here on the doorstep of them
• 8:19
  Speaker 5: playing their first playoff game, and you realize you're two
• 8:22
  Speaker 5: victories away from making it to the super Bowl. Really,
• 8:24
  Speaker 5: you know, three victories from Hoiston Super Bowl Trophy. And
• 8:27
  Speaker 5: I'm looking around and while it still feels like there's
• 8:31
  Speaker 5: a little bit of a you know, kind of throw
• 8:33
  Speaker 5: a dart, any one of these teams could win just
• 8:36
  Speaker 5: because of the way in which this entire season has gone.
• 8:39
  Speaker 4: I right now am probably.
• 8:41
  Speaker 5: Would if you said you put a gun to my
• 8:43
  Speaker 5: head and said I have to pick who is going
• 8:44
  Speaker 5: to win the Super Bowl. I think it's the Seahawks.
• 8:47
  Speaker 5: I think the Seahawks are probably the best team out there.
• 8:49
  Speaker 5: Now you put that against the other teams that are
• 8:52
  Speaker 5: still left, and first and foremost, it's a San Francisco
• 8:55
  Speaker 5: forty nine ers, because that's who you have to go against.
• 8:57
  Speaker 5: That's the team that I probably think has the least
• 8:59
  Speaker 5: chance because of all the things you just said. It's
• 9:01
  Speaker 5: not that they're not a good team. It's not that
• 9:03
  Speaker 5: they're not well coached, it's not that they don't have
• 9:05
  Speaker 5: a chance, they're just very injured and like a lot
• 9:08
  Speaker 5: of things have to go their way and they have
• 9:11
  Speaker 5: to probably get a couple of breaks here and there,
• 9:12
  Speaker 5: or they have to have a team that which stumbles. Yeah,
• 9:17
  Speaker 5: it's stumbles, like like the we watch the Eagles all
• 9:20
  Speaker 5: season long. That's a talented team and yet they at
• 9:23
  Speaker 5: times just don't play up to their capabilities. And then
• 9:26
  Speaker 5: they let basically the Niners back into it. And the
• 9:29
  Speaker 5: Niners are good enough, and they're resilient enough, and they
• 9:31
  Speaker 5: have enough guys that are still available to play that
• 9:35
  Speaker 5: they can go out and get They can go out
• 9:37
  Speaker 5: and get it done. They can go out and beat
• 9:39
  Speaker 5: you if you allow them.
• 9:40
  Speaker 4: But I just don't.
• 9:41
  Speaker 5: I feel like Mike McDonald has this Seahawks team poised
• 9:44
  Speaker 5: and ready to take on all comers, especially division fos,
• 9:49
  Speaker 5: where you know their personnel, you know what they're going
• 9:51
  Speaker 5: to try to do, and it's just like, all right,
• 9:53
  Speaker 5: you go in and before you know that first kickoff,
• 9:56
  Speaker 5: are we ready? Are we ready for whatever they're going
• 9:58
  Speaker 5: to throw at us? I think that he's feeling super confident.
• 10:01
  Speaker 5: I think that that trickles down to the players, and
• 10:03
  Speaker 5: San Francisco is going to try to muster as much
• 10:05
  Speaker 5: fight as they possibly can, no doubt. But it's like
• 10:08
  Speaker 5: you look across the battlefield, right if you're both standing
• 10:10
  Speaker 5: on hills and you're getting ready to charge down into
• 10:12
  Speaker 5: a valley and go man to man monoy mono and
• 10:16
  Speaker 5: see who wins. It doesn't even It looks like the
• 10:18
  Speaker 5: Seahawks would just have the entire mountain side cover and
• 10:21
  Speaker 5: they'd look over and it'd be like, well they got there.
• 10:25
  Speaker 4: The pipe and drum corps, and you're the you're the
• 10:28
  Speaker 4: English arm. Yeah, it just doesn't. It feels like that.
• 10:31
  Speaker 5: And yet I would be hard pressed to think that
• 10:34
  Speaker 5: if this is anything other than still somewhat of a
• 10:37
  Speaker 5: close game. Because it's a division foe, it doesn't matter.
• 10:40
  Speaker 5: I mean last season when there was it, last year
• 10:44
  Speaker 5: when the Niners fell off, was it last year? Yeah,
• 10:47
  Speaker 5: they still played them tough, right, I mean, even when
• 10:49
  Speaker 5: they're having bad seasons, they play them tough. If the
• 10:51
  Speaker 5: Seahawks are having bad seasons, they played the Niner stuff
• 10:53
  Speaker 5: division fos. Those games get weird, and then you had
• 10:56
  Speaker 5: the playoffs too, it's it's.
• 10:57
  Speaker 4: Even more weird. I don't I would say, I don't.
• 11:00
  Speaker 6: I think it's going to be a close game, I don't,
• 11:02
  Speaker 6: like you said, though not a blowout. I think it's
• 11:03
  Speaker 6: going to be a dominant performance similar to what we
• 11:05
  Speaker 6: saw last time, even though it.
• 11:07
  Speaker 4: Only won by ten. Yeah, felt like we won by forty.
• 11:09
  Speaker 6: Felt like forty because it felt like they never stood
• 11:12
  Speaker 6: a chance. And so that's how I picture this game
• 11:15
  Speaker 6: going again, probably, you know, I again, not in the
• 11:18
  Speaker 6: exact same way that that one played out, but with
• 11:20
  Speaker 6: this defense and the way that Mike McDonald has them operating,
• 11:23
  Speaker 6: I just don't see San Francisco in their current state
• 11:29
  Speaker 6: being able to overcome.
• 11:30
  Speaker 4: It doesn't mean they won't, no, you know. And look,
• 11:33
  Speaker 4: I mean I'm not silly about this. I mean, I
• 11:36
  Speaker 4: realize there's a world out there where breaks fall one way,
• 11:40
  Speaker 4: or you know, a certain play or an injury happens
• 11:43
  Speaker 4: during the course of the game, god forbid, that changes
• 11:46
  Speaker 4: the entire scope of it all. I mean, I get that.
• 11:49
  Speaker 4: I mean, I think Miami's going to get hammered by
• 11:51
  Speaker 4: Indiana on Monday night as well. Is there a world
• 11:55
  Speaker 4: out there where that, of course there is. I mean,
• 11:57
  Speaker 4: this is sports sport. It's gonna be crazy and so
• 12:00
  Speaker 4: certainly unpredictable. If it was predictable, it wouldn't be as fun,
• 12:03
  Speaker 4: but so I certainly can entertain an evening that leads
• 12:09
  Speaker 4: to massive disappointment for myself, for Seahawk fans, for the
• 12:12
  Speaker 4: sea Hawks roster, everybody else. I could stand to look
• 12:16
  Speaker 4: silly for making this statement, but just as I see
• 12:20
  Speaker 4: it on paper, I mean, Mike McDonald versus Kyle Shanahan.
• 12:27
  Speaker 4: There are times that a game is played where, yeah,
• 12:31
  Speaker 4: there's one team better than the other and the other
• 12:33
  Speaker 4: team just has a better game plan and they pull
• 12:35
  Speaker 4: off the victory. Mike McDonald might not out coach Kyle
• 12:39
  Speaker 4: Shanahan again on Saturday, but I don't think Shanahan's gonna
• 12:43
  Speaker 4: out coach him so much that it's gonna make up
• 12:45
  Speaker 4: for the lack of healthy players that they have on
• 12:48
  Speaker 4: their roster. I don't think that the Seahawks are susceptible
• 12:52
  Speaker 4: from that standpoint, and I don't think they're gonna be
• 12:54
  Speaker 4: again for a really long time. Are gonna be susceptible
• 12:57
  Speaker 4: to having the better players but they're coach blows it
• 13:01
  Speaker 4: with his game plan. I just you know, maybe Shannan
• 13:04
  Speaker 4: comes up with a great game plan at some point,
• 13:06
  Speaker 4: though it's just a matter of whether or not you've
• 13:09
  Speaker 4: got a guy to cover that situation. The Seahawks are
• 13:12
  Speaker 4: coming off the buy, they are as healthy as any
• 13:16
  Speaker 4: playoff team we've ever seen, and they also, oh, by
• 13:21
  Speaker 4: the way, we're the better team during the regular season
• 13:24
  Speaker 4: as well. So I don't know, I might be setting
• 13:27
  Speaker 4: myself up for a fall. Hugh Millan might tell me
• 13:29
  Speaker 4: at eight o'clock today, Oh, that's just nonsense. Mike Holmgren, say,
• 13:33
  Speaker 4: don't ever say that. You know, fans right now might
• 13:36
  Speaker 4: be saying, weren't you two and five this week and
• 13:39
  Speaker 4: picking straight up winners in the playoffs? Don't even take us.
• 13:42
  Speaker 4: I don't know, but that's just how I feel. I
• 13:45
  Speaker 4: think it could end up being within ten. But I
• 13:49
  Speaker 4: just I feel like it's a rinse and repeat of
• 13:52
  Speaker 4: two weeks ago. I think we're gonna hammer them.
• 13:54
  Speaker 7: I just do.
• 13:55
  Speaker 4: That's just where I'm at right now.
• 13:57
  Speaker 5: Well, it's understandable. It's not even hard. I mean, we're not.
• 14:00
  Speaker 5: I'm not at the same level of confidence, and I
• 14:02
  Speaker 5: don't know that. I don't know if I will get there.
• 14:05
  Speaker 5: But I think that's just the apprehension that comes with
• 14:09
  Speaker 5: my brain, just the way in which I am. It's
• 14:11
  Speaker 5: like I'm about I recognize everything you're saying, and I agree.
• 14:15
  Speaker 5: It's like everything you're saying like I don't. The most
• 14:19
  Speaker 5: recent game didn't look like much of a contest, even
• 14:23
  Speaker 5: though the final score wound up being a contest.
• 14:25
  Speaker 4: Shows you how weird the sport is. But Christian McCaffrey
• 14:28
  Speaker 4: catches that ball and they get into the maybe they
• 14:30
  Speaker 4: end up pulling that out. Imagine the hair pulling we
• 14:34
  Speaker 4: would have been doing on that pne and yet you
• 14:35
  Speaker 4: were dominant.
• 14:36
  Speaker 5: And so to me, it's like all of that points
• 14:38
  Speaker 5: in the direction of if I am wearing a Twelves
• 14:42
  Speaker 5: jersey and I'm getting ready and getting nervous for the
• 14:44
  Speaker 5: game on Saturday, I'm far less nervous than I would
• 14:49
  Speaker 5: be if I was dawning that whatever the red and
• 14:51
  Speaker 5: Gold that the Niners were. I mean, I justus I
• 14:54
  Speaker 5: would be if I'm them, I'm like, oh my gosh,
• 14:57
  Speaker 5: really are the Seahawks and that hated fan base that
• 15:01
  Speaker 5: you know the right is that who's going to end
• 15:03
  Speaker 5: our season? We've had all of this, We've shown all
• 15:06
  Speaker 5: this toughness and grit resiliency, and yet they snipered Us
• 15:10
  Speaker 5: when the number one seed was on the line, and
• 15:13
  Speaker 5: the division championship was on the line.
• 15:16
  Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, and yet.
• 15:20
  Speaker 5: They they you know, and then we've we rebounded when
• 15:23
  Speaker 5: most people thought, oh, after that emotional defeat, there's no
• 15:26
  Speaker 5: chance you'll beat the defending champs, and we showed them that.
• 15:29
  Speaker 5: And then are they gonna come and just smack us
• 15:31
  Speaker 5: down again and send us to can kun ye? I
• 15:33
  Speaker 5: mean it's everything points in the direction of yes. It
• 15:37
  Speaker 5: just to me feels like because there is two great
• 15:40
  Speaker 5: coaches going at it, that you are in a chess
• 15:43
  Speaker 5: match where it's everything, there's so much relying on every
• 15:46
  Speaker 5: single play, and it's there. I'm not I don't think
• 15:49
  Speaker 5: it has to be just bad bounces or just uh.
• 15:53
  Speaker 5: I mean, you can't probably get away with a crazy
• 15:55
  Speaker 5: turnover game.
• 15:56
  Speaker 4: I think it just comes down to if both teams
• 15:59
  Speaker 4: go out.
• 15:59
  Speaker 5: And say, let's just be ourselves, well theirselves right now,
• 16:02
  Speaker 5: they don't match up. If both teams play their A game,
• 16:05
  Speaker 5: not A plus, they play an A game. Seahawks play
• 16:08
  Speaker 5: an A game, the Seahawks win probably by ten thirteen points.
• 16:12
  Speaker 5: If the Seahawks play a B minus game and they
• 16:14
  Speaker 5: play an A game, I think they could lose, and
• 16:16
  Speaker 5: so to me, it's and I don't know what it
• 16:18
  Speaker 5: takes to go from an A to a B minus,
• 16:21
  Speaker 5: but I know that it's something that is that's capable
• 16:23
  Speaker 5: of where it's a batted pass that we see it
• 16:27
  Speaker 5: missus a d lineman's finger by an inch. Instead it
• 16:30
  Speaker 5: catches two of a stringers pops up and it's interception.
• 16:32
  Speaker 4: I mean, we're talking about that.
• 16:33
  Speaker 5: That's the beauty of the game to me is how
• 16:36
  Speaker 5: many little tiny things happen in all the little games
• 16:40
  Speaker 5: and in every single game, and how many times a
• 16:42
  Speaker 5: victory or defeat lies on all those.
• 16:45
  Speaker 4: Yeah, well, I can't predict you're you're absolutely right. And
• 16:48
  Speaker 4: I can't predict if there's going to be a deflection
• 16:50
  Speaker 4: at the line of scrimmage that lands in you know,
• 16:54
  Speaker 4: Lenore's hands and he goes for a pick six. I
• 16:57
  Speaker 4: can't predict that. All I can predict is what I see,
• 17:00
  Speaker 4: and what I see is I think the Seahawks just
• 17:03
  Speaker 4: have a significant advantage here. And so not to mention
• 17:06
  Speaker 4: home field advantage, yeah, not to mention rest and everything else,
• 17:11
  Speaker 4: all the other things that go into trying to forecast
• 17:15
  Speaker 4: these games. But we'll see. I'm just you know, I'm
• 17:18
  Speaker 4: just throwing out. I mean, we've been talking about this
• 17:20
  Speaker 4: now for two weeks. Yeah yeah, now that we're here,
• 17:24
  Speaker 4: I don't need tomorrow. I don't need any more evaluation.
• 17:26
  Speaker 4: I don't need to hear from I mean, I want
• 17:28
  Speaker 4: to hear from Greg and Hugh, but I don't need
• 17:30
  Speaker 4: to hear from them to try to piece together my prediction.
• 17:34
  Speaker 4: I think we're winning by at least ten on Saturday Night.
• 17:37
  Speaker 4: I like it. All right, let's find out what's on
• 17:39
  Speaker 4: tap for the rest of the show. What's on to
• 17:44
  Speaker 4: what's on? All right? Forty nine ers at Seahawks five
• 17:47
  Speaker 4: o'clock Saturday night, twelve man roundtable today from eight to nine.
• 17:52
  Speaker 4: Hugh and Greg will of course break it down for
• 17:55
  Speaker 4: you right here on Chuck and Buck in the morning.
• 17:58
  Speaker 4: The NFL Divisional Round starts Sadday afternoon. Buffalo at Denver terrific.
• 18:03
  Speaker 4: Game terrific. I mean, I don't know what it is
• 18:05
  Speaker 4: about games at Denver during the day. They just look
• 18:08
  Speaker 4: prettier than everywhere else, like sunshinier. Yeah, I don't know
• 18:12
  Speaker 4: what it is. It's closer to God. Oh, okay, that's
• 18:14
  Speaker 4: what it was. I remember you telling me that yesterday.
• 18:17
  Speaker 4: Houston at New England on Sunday rams at Chicago Sunday
• 18:22
  Speaker 4: evening or afternoon in our case, Mike Sando will be
• 18:25
  Speaker 4: joining us today at nine thirty our NFL insider to
• 18:28
  Speaker 4: discuss it. John Harbaugh did not wait long. This is
• 18:32
  Speaker 4: a classic case of don't let your guy out of
• 18:36
  Speaker 4: the building. The Giants apparently overwhelmed him with their offer
• 18:41
  Speaker 4: and I think probably some aspects of control that we
• 18:45
  Speaker 4: haven't heard about. Adam Schefter was reporting it's an agreed
• 18:49
  Speaker 4: upon deal, it's not a sign deal. There's some other
• 18:51
  Speaker 4: things that have to be worked out. We'll talk about
• 18:54
  Speaker 4: it with the Sharcoachery Board coming up at six forty
• 18:58
  Speaker 4: five this morning. My guess is that John Harball is like,
• 19:02
  Speaker 4: I'm not going to use the general manager that everyone
• 19:05
  Speaker 4: in this city hates. So my guess is that there's
• 19:08
  Speaker 4: a little bit of things to work about, work all
• 19:11
  Speaker 4: out with Joe Shane. But I'm hearing like the highest
• 19:17
  Speaker 4: paid head coach in the National Football League is Andy
• 19:19
  Speaker 4: Reid at twenty million per year. I'm hearing they offered
• 19:22
  Speaker 4: thirty Wow.
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 19:25
  Speaker 4: I'm hearing that they offered him thirty million dollars. And
• 19:28
  Speaker 4: you know what, I've been saying this for years. It
• 19:30
  Speaker 4: makes sense. I mean, what do we always talk about.
• 19:32
  Speaker 4: You gotta get the coach and the quarterback. That's what
• 19:34
  Speaker 4: you gotta do. You gotta get the right coach in
• 19:36
  Speaker 4: the right quarterback, and that sets you on sale. For
• 19:38
  Speaker 4: championship football. Quarterbacks make sixty million a year. Why are
• 19:43
  Speaker 4: coaches making third a third of that? Kind of makes
• 19:47
  Speaker 4: sense to me. If you've got the guy you think
• 19:50
  Speaker 4: takes you there, give him some money that's not capped, right, Yeah,
• 19:54
  Speaker 4: I know it's not capped.
• 19:54
  Speaker 5: I mean this guy's resume, it's I think that he
• 19:57
  Speaker 5: you know, before Tomlin jumps in and they're probably two,
• 20:00
  Speaker 5: he's in a pod. I kind of feel like they're
• 20:02
  Speaker 5: very similar, coaching the same division coach for about the
• 20:04
  Speaker 5: same time, had both won a Super.
• 20:06
  Speaker 4: Bowl, genius like on one side.
• 20:09
  Speaker 5: Of the leaders of men though, I mean culture builders.
• 20:12
  Speaker 5: I think that they both are kind of thrown into
• 20:15
  Speaker 5: that mix. He was he was the first one available.
• 20:18
  Speaker 5: You heard that New York was gonna go after him.
• 20:19
  Speaker 5: They've had success with this before of hiring a veteran coach,
• 20:23
  Speaker 5: somebody that has a track record. I mean, if you
• 20:25
  Speaker 5: want to get your guy, if you think that's the
• 20:28
  Speaker 5: guy that changes where you've been as of late, then
• 20:31
  Speaker 5: you offer him whatever because you're right. It doesn't know,
• 20:33
  Speaker 5: get your cap, get to your guy. They didn't let
• 20:35
  Speaker 5: him leave the building.
• 20:36
  Speaker 4: He canceled the meeting apparently today with Tennessee and one
• 20:40
  Speaker 4: tomorrow with Atlanta. The Giants knew that was gonna happen,
• 20:44
  Speaker 4: and they were just like, nope, we're gonna make you decide, right,
• 20:47
  Speaker 4: We're gonna make you an offer you can't refuse. He couldn't,
• 20:50
  Speaker 4: and he couldn't. Dante Moore stays that Oregon. We'll talk
• 20:53
  Speaker 4: more about that coming up at six thirty. That's a
• 20:55
  Speaker 4: very interesting story. College football were four days from the
• 20:58
  Speaker 4: National championship game between Miami and Indiana College basketball last night.
• 21:04
  Speaker 4: Oh boy, the place was rocking on Montlake as Michigan
• 21:08
  Speaker 4: does defeat you dub eighty two to seventy two's the
• 21:11
  Speaker 4: final score. Spencer O was going to join us today.
• 21:14
  Speaker 4: We'll talk a little bit about this at seven oh five,
• 21:16
  Speaker 4: but we'll also talk about his Seahawks fandom because it
• 21:19
  Speaker 4: runs wild as well. So we'll bring another celebrity on
• 21:24
  Speaker 4: local celebrity on to talk to Seahawks football and to
• 21:28
  Speaker 4: certainly talk about his expertise as well, which is hoops
• 21:33
  Speaker 4: and Michigan got the win last night, you dub hung
• 21:35
  Speaker 4: in there if they would have made their threes in
• 21:37
  Speaker 4: the first half, because they had looks. They couldn't make
• 21:40
  Speaker 4: a three to save themselves last night, and ultimately they
• 21:44
  Speaker 4: couldn't pull off the upset Devil's three two winners over
• 21:48
  Speaker 4: the Cracking last night. So then cracking back to having
• 21:51
  Speaker 4: lost three out of four. Here they'll be at Boston tonight,
• 21:55
  Speaker 4: so back to backs on the road. They'll take on
• 21:58
  Speaker 4: the Bruins. Puck drops at five and in hot Stove
• 22:02
  Speaker 4: Rangers swore As agreed to a deal with the Boston
• 22:04
  Speaker 4: Red Sox. We'll play a little bit of follow the
• 22:06
  Speaker 4: Bouncing ball later on in the show at seven forty five,
• 22:09
  Speaker 4: because I think it might lead us toward what the
• 22:13
  Speaker 4: Mariners might do next. Also, Gabe Speier has been named
• 22:17
  Speaker 4: to Team USA by Mark de Rosa, so we'll have
• 22:20
  Speaker 4: at least two Mariners on that team. The other guy
• 22:24
  Speaker 4: is joining us today, uh cal Raley will be with
• 22:28
  Speaker 4: us today at nine o'clock on the promise we're gonna
• 22:31
  Speaker 4: talk a lot of football with a huge football fan
• 22:34
  Speaker 4: Cayl Raley, the Dumper, loves himself some football, but we're also,
• 22:38
  Speaker 4: of course check in on his baseball life and make
• 22:41
  Speaker 4: sure that he's not weighing like three point fifty. He
• 22:43
  Speaker 4: just decided I almost won the MVP. I'm just gonna gorgeous,
• 22:47
  Speaker 4: gonna celebrate this. Yeah, donuts, Yeah, just well, donuts all
• 22:53
  Speaker 4: three meals.
• 22:55
  Speaker 5: Yeah, bags just sixty bombs again and you do that
• 22:59
  Speaker 5: with a dumb brum.
• 23:00
  Speaker 4: Fine, he'll join us at nine o'clock. We couldn't be
• 23:03
  Speaker 4: more excited about that. Coming up next though, we'll talk
• 23:06
  Speaker 4: about that Dante More story, because man, it is fascinating.
• 23:10
  Speaker 4: Sports Radio ninety three point three kha RFM crack it
• 23:15
  Speaker 4: with the space off, dumbshot safe but can't rebound. He's goos.
• 23:22
  Speaker 4: That didn't take long. Cracking won the face off, done,
• 23:26
  Speaker 4: got it toward the net and mc can's Tosian facewright
• 23:30
  Speaker 4: circle fourteen fifty four to go on the second period
• 23:33
  Speaker 4: power play goal. The Cracking have come back again to
• 23:37
  Speaker 4: tie this game at two to two. That is your
• 23:42
  Speaker 4: mc delivery of the game, last night's top call from
• 23:44
  Speaker 4: the Crack and Audio Network, brought to you by McDonald's
• 23:47
  Speaker 4: ordering the food you craved with McDelivery as a whole
• 23:49
  Speaker 4: new way to love McDonald's. Ordered directly from the McDonald's
• 23:52
  Speaker 4: app and select McDelivery today and start earning points for
• 23:55
  Speaker 4: free food. See App four details. Mike Vinton on the
• 23:59
  Speaker 4: call last night. Yeah, exciting in the moment. Ultimately a
• 24:02
  Speaker 4: loss to the New Jersey Devils last night. For the
• 24:06
  Speaker 4: Kraken final score, there was three to two in the contest.
• 24:11
  Speaker 4: It did go to overtime, so pretty good at collecting
• 24:14
  Speaker 4: that point. I'll say that about this lane Lambert squad.
• 24:18
  Speaker 4: They did get that point, but they lose an overtime
• 24:20
  Speaker 4: by a final score of three to two. They've now
• 24:22
  Speaker 4: lost three of their last four games, so hopefully we're
• 24:25
  Speaker 4: not experiencing another slide. They will next play tonight in
• 24:29
  Speaker 4: Boston against the Bruins. They're going to drop the puck
• 24:32
  Speaker 4: there at five o'clock. Good morning, It's Chuck, Buck and
• 24:35
  Speaker 4: Ashley with you here on this Thursday, just a couple
• 24:37
  Speaker 4: days shy of the Seahawks taking on the San Francisco
• 24:41
  Speaker 4: forty nine ers in the NFL Divisional Round of the playoffs.
• 24:46
  Speaker 4: Five o'clock tomorrow is the kickoff or not tomorrow. Saturday
• 24:49
  Speaker 4: is the kickoff right here from Seattle. We got all
• 24:53
  Speaker 4: sorts of people lined up to discuss it today, including
• 24:56
  Speaker 4: our twelfth Man roundtable, which is coming your way at
• 24:58
  Speaker 4: eight o'clock. One of the topics that we'll certainly discussed
• 25:01
  Speaker 4: is Fred Warner, who is not ruling out the possibility
• 25:04
  Speaker 4: of returning for the forty nine ers in time for
• 25:07
  Speaker 4: Saturday night. Sounds like it's a long shot based off
• 25:10
  Speaker 4: of the reports from Beat Riders, but Fred Warner is
• 25:14
  Speaker 4: a pretty freakish athlete and one heck of a player,
• 25:17
  Speaker 4: and so he's trying to set his sights on being
• 25:20
  Speaker 4: available to the team on Saturday night. We'll discuss more
• 25:23
  Speaker 4: about that coming up on the program. The rest of
• 25:26
  Speaker 4: your frost Brewed Corps Light Choose Chill headlines. Buffalo at
• 25:30
  Speaker 4: Denver will start the round of the playoffs Saturday afternoon.
• 25:34
  Speaker 4: Then Sunday you've got Texans at New England and the
• 25:37
  Speaker 4: Rams at Chicago. It's supposed to be very cold there.
• 25:40
  Speaker 4: John Harbaugh is going to be the next head coach
• 25:43
  Speaker 4: of the New York Giants. They have not finalized the
• 25:45
  Speaker 4: deal officially, but it sounds like they have an agreement
• 25:49
  Speaker 4: Adam Schefter reporting on that last night, he's rarely wrong
• 25:52
  Speaker 4: about these things, So it looks like John Harbaugh is
• 25:55
  Speaker 4: going to fill the first of nine head coaching vacancies.
• 25:58
  Speaker 4: Right now in the National Football League, we are four
• 26:00
  Speaker 4: days away from the College Football National Championship between Miami
• 26:04
  Speaker 4: and Indiana that will be played Monday night. Dante More
• 26:07
  Speaker 4: has decided to stay at Oregon for another year rather
• 26:12
  Speaker 4: than enter the NFL draft. And finally, the Michigan Wolverines
• 26:16
  Speaker 4: came into town last night, played at a sold out
• 26:20
  Speaker 4: head ech heck ed head ech heck ed, and then
• 26:25
  Speaker 4: ended up defeating the Washington Huskies by final score of
• 26:29
  Speaker 4: eighty two to seventy two. U Doubs can't lick their
• 26:33
  Speaker 4: wounds for long. They've got another big matchup Saturday against
• 26:37
  Speaker 4: the Michigan State Spartans. It says to be determined on
• 26:40
  Speaker 4: the time for that. I thought they determined.
• 26:42
  Speaker 6: I think it's at three o'clock because it was to
• 26:44
  Speaker 6: be determined based on the Seahawks game. With the Seahawks
• 26:47
  Speaker 6: game at five, I think that's a three or three
• 26:49
  Speaker 6: thirty one of the all right, yeah, don't play.
• 26:51
  Speaker 4: At five, don't play it five. That'd be a bad
• 26:53
  Speaker 4: idea and to talk about it, but let's face it,
• 26:57
  Speaker 4: so much more out there on the Seattle sport scene.
• 27:00
  Speaker 4: Is a huge Seattle sports fan and also just huge person.
• 27:04
  Speaker 4: Spencer Hawes now joins us here. Our friend Spencer all
• 27:07
  Speaker 4: Is on Chucking Buck in the morning. Good morning, sir,
• 27:11
  Speaker 4: Good morning.
• 27:12
  Speaker 7: How are you guys?
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: Hi?
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: You Ben?
• 27:13
  Speaker 4: What's new?
• 27:15
  Speaker 7: Nothing much?
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: I first of all, I got to say happy birthday
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: to my lovely wife. She's sleeping and won't hear this,
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: but got a day of festivities.
• 27:23
  Speaker 4: Plan well, happy birthday, missus Hawes. That's great.
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: Oh but that was a fun one last night. That
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: was the best atmosphere I can remember in heck ed
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: unfortunate we got two thirds of a Pac twelve crew
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: doing the refereeing. But that's an impressive team in Michigan,
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: and I thought, I thought the Huskies, for not being
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: able to make a shot for the first seven minutes,
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: put themselves in a pretty good position.
• 27:54
  Speaker 4: Yeah, they had good looks, especially from the three point
• 27:57
  Speaker 4: line in the first half. I wasn't sure that that's
• 28:00
  Speaker 4: going to happen for them. I mean, Michigan's just been
• 28:02
  Speaker 4: dominant so far this college basketball season. But they had
• 28:06
  Speaker 4: their chances, they had their looks, they just couldn't hit
• 28:08
  Speaker 4: a shot Spencer.
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: I mean, that's kind of been the story of their season,
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: and candidly, that was my biggest concern going in is
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: there's just not enough shooting on that roster, and when
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: you're playing in a conference it's is physical as.
• 28:22
  Speaker 7: The Big Ten.
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: Obviously, in any situation, shootings at a premium, but I
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: think it was unfortunate. You know, when they're rolling out
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: a seven to four guy and a couple other guys,
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: you know, six ten, six eleven, you're gonna have to
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: be able to make shots from the outside. And you
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: know they got they got to seventy two points, but
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: they left a lot out there.
• 28:43
  Speaker 5: Yeah, well, what does this team have to do then?
• 28:45
  Speaker 5: I mean, because you're gonna have some games where the
• 28:47
  Speaker 5: shooting lights up, and yet if you're just thinking, you know,
• 28:51
  Speaker 5: it's going to be less than what you want. What
• 28:54
  Speaker 5: are the other things that this team needs to do?
• 28:57
  Speaker 5: What can they do to kind of circumvent that?
• 29:01
  Speaker 7: Well?
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: I think something that they've been a lot better with
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: the last couple of games that I've noticed is the
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: pace and if you can't make shots, the masses. You
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: just got to take more of them. And I think
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: it seems to be an adjustment that Danny's made. I
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: don't know if it can side coincides with Desmond Claude
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: not being in the lineup. He's a bit of a
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: ball stopper for my liking. But it seems like they,
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: especially last night, they were really trying to push the
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: tempo and create more shots. Easy in the shot talk,
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: because they don't have the talent or.
• 29:33
  Speaker 7: The individual when it gets the end of the clock.
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: For any one player to go get a shot, and
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: so I think it's even more imperative that they try
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: and get going early and put that pressure on the
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: defense where you know, if they're not going to get
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: a good shot, at least they got a chance for
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: an offensive rebound.
• 29:48
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you mentioned Claude and Yates. I mean at the
• 29:51
  Speaker 4: beginning of the year, if you would have said, Hey,
• 29:53
  Speaker 4: that Michigan game is going to be a big game,
• 29:55
  Speaker 4: and those two guys are going to play a combined
• 29:58
  Speaker 4: twenty two minutes and go oh for six from the floor,
• 30:01
  Speaker 4: you would have thought they would have lost by fifty.
• 30:03
  Speaker 4: I mean, they were supposed to play big roles on
• 30:05
  Speaker 4: this team. I know they'd have injuries this season, but uh,
• 30:10
  Speaker 4: you know where is uh, where's coach Sprinkle with Claude
• 30:13
  Speaker 4: and Yates and and how they fit into this thing
• 30:16
  Speaker 4: going forward.
• 30:18
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I don't know what. I don't know what's going
• 30:20
  Speaker 7: on with the I.
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: Know Leslie obviously has a situation with his hand. I
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: didn't expect to see see him last night, and it's good.
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: I mean I was worried at one point he was
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: going to be out for the year. So even though uh,
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: you know, he wasn't able to get him much going
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: and it was good to see him just back out
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: there on the floor. And as for Desmond, I don't
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: know what's going on with that situation, but the ball
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: seems to stop with him. Uh and in the half court,
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: in the full court, and you know, you a game
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: like last night, you could use a guy that's really
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: the only guy in the A roster that's the shot
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: maker from kind of that mid range level. But you know,
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: he didn't look like he was ready to play, and
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: he kind of figured he was gonna have a short
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: at least regardless, and that's that's what ended up happening yesterday.
• 31:07
  Speaker 5: JJ had a good game when he was in there.
• 31:10
  Speaker 4: I met him at.
• 31:11
  Speaker 5: A what was it the place that we went to,
• 31:14
  Speaker 5: the new beer haul down there by the Queen Anne. Yet,
• 31:18
  Speaker 5: what wasn't the Queen Anne when the new one that
• 31:20
  Speaker 5: they opened right off across the street from moomen Field. Anyway,
• 31:22
  Speaker 5: good kid, what are you seeing out of him that
• 31:24
  Speaker 5: you're liking?
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: I mean, I got as a big guy, you're always
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: you're always a little preferential to the old school, pure
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: point guard. But it looked like until last night, he'd
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: just been kind of having a crisis in confidence. And
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: you know, he came out last night.
• 31:43
  Speaker 7: I think the first half he was still looking.
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: A little bit penitive, and then it was almost like
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: something quick at halftime where he kind of said, you know,
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: I don't there's nothing to lose, I'm gonna come out here.
• 31:53
  Speaker 7: I know.
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: He saw something where he thought he could get a
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: step on those guards. And he was doing a great job.
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: I was getting downhill, creating more opportunities with the pass,
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: and then looking for a shot, which he hasn't been
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: doing lately. And you know, he was able to knock
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: down a couple threes for the first time in a while.
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: And I think that gave him some confidence and opened
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: things up for him to be able to get to
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: the second level and create some opportunities.
• 32:18
  Speaker 4: Yeah, of all the silver linings and there were a
• 32:20
  Speaker 4: few obviously for the Dogs last night, that was probably
• 32:23
  Speaker 4: the most silver the way that he played. Spencer Awisin's
• 32:26
  Speaker 4: with us right here on Chuck um Buck in the morning.
• 32:28
  Speaker 4: We're gonna talk some Seahawks football with Spencer in a
• 32:31
  Speaker 4: little bit, but of course talking college hoops as well.
• 32:34
  Speaker 4: Michigan eighty two to seventy two winners over the Huskies
• 32:37
  Speaker 4: last night, sold out arena, great atmosphere, great energy, and
• 32:42
  Speaker 4: yet couldn't pull off the victory against a team that
• 32:45
  Speaker 4: Don McClain kept saying throughout the broadcast, Spencer is the
• 32:48
  Speaker 4: best in the country, just repeated it maybe one hundred times.
• 32:51
  Speaker 4: I mean, is that the quality of team that Washington
• 32:54
  Speaker 4: faced last night? Is Michigan that good in your eyes?
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: I can't imagine. And there's that many certainly I've seen
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: so far, that there's that many teams that they can
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: be better than them. I mean, their combination of size,
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: which I don't know if anybody in the country can
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: match up with, and kind of what we talked about
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: with the Huskies, the pace that they play the game
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: with that many big guys, and their ability and their
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: depth to rotate those big guys and keep them fresh.
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: I mean, that's a scary combination. The way the game started,
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: I didn't think any team would have an opportunity to
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: sniff ninety points, and then you're looking up at kind
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: of the end of the second half, they're like, man,
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: they make a couple more shots, they're going to get
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: to the ninety point threshold. But it seems like every
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: time I check a box score, that's where they end up.
• 33:45
  Speaker 5: How do they match up against Michigan State? I mean,
• 33:48
  Speaker 5: there's a couple of big games with Michigan State and
• 33:50
  Speaker 5: Nebraska before Oregon comes into town.
• 33:53
  Speaker 4: But that's whatever.
• 33:53
  Speaker 5: I mean, how are you feeling that they're matching up
• 33:55
  Speaker 5: against some of these other big dogs in the Big Ten?
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: Obviously it doesn't get an easier I don't think Michigan
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: State is quite to the quality of Michigan, But you
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: know they're going to be one of the most well coached,
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: well prepared teams in the country, and it's another test
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: that I'm grateful we have the opportunity to play at
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: home the three o'clock start. I don't love selfishly on Saturday.
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: I would like to give a little bit more of
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: a buffer between between.
• 34:26
  Speaker 8: That and the Hawks game.
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: But you know, I think it's going to be another
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: good atmosphere in there for everybody that's not trying to
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: double dip like myself. And you know, they got to
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: get they got to get one of these games.
• 34:38
  Speaker 7: They got to get.
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: The Ohio State game was big, but they got to
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: get one that can kind of break through that you know,
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: ranked victory ceiling and give them some momentum as we
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: kind of get into get into Big ten play.
• 34:52
  Speaker 4: All right, Before we move on to other subjects, I
• 34:55
  Speaker 4: do have to ask what was your least favorite call?
• 34:58
  Speaker 4: Was it the goaltending on Lara that was missed? What
• 35:01
  Speaker 4: did you hate about the officiating last night?
• 35:05
  Speaker 7: I thought that was the game.
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: Uh, you know, given he makes that, it goes to five,
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: the crowds into it, then it's it almost it's it's
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: almost like a two for one for Michigan because then
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: they got a fast break and they end up going
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: down and scoring. But honestly, there were so many bad
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: ones last night that the foul on honess to give
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: him the fourth where they had the guy trapped and
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: he just kind of fell out.
• 35:29
  Speaker 7: Of downs on his own.
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: But when I'm recognizing the reps that were bad when
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: I played and see two.
• 35:37
  Speaker 7: Thirds of the crew.
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: Back back in the building, and honestly, they weren't the
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: worst ones. The other one I thought stood out, which
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: you never want a referee to do. But you know,
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: that's not the reason we lost the game. But that
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: was as bad as I've seen. And it's a shame
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: that you know that that that's allowed to impact a
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: game like that and the way that it did.
• 36:00
  Speaker 4: Former big Man high school basketball legend, a longtime NBA
• 36:05
  Speaker 4: player and monstrous Seattle sports fan, Spencer Hall is our
• 36:10
  Speaker 4: guest here this morning. A lot of reasons to check
• 36:13
  Speaker 4: in with you this morning, just to say hi. Number one,
• 36:16
  Speaker 4: also to wish your wife a happy birthday. We wanted
• 36:18
  Speaker 4: to make sure that we did that here today. We've
• 36:21
  Speaker 4: checked that off the list. But also I want to
• 36:26
  Speaker 4: check your fever for Saturday night. As a Monster Seahawks fan.
• 36:31
  Speaker 4: How fired up are you for some playoff football Saturday night?
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: You know the fever is high. I was thinking about this.
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: I don't know, I was very fortunate in two thousand
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: and thirteen to be able to attend the Super Bowl.
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: I had just a kind of parting of the schedule
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: see where we were playing in New York and had
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: a full off day for that one. But I don't
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: think I've ever been to a home playoff game, so
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: that kind of adds a little bit to my level
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: of further But it's to be able to get the
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: Niners at home kind of the start, which will hopefully
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: be a nice little run here.
• 37:15
  Speaker 7: I don't know if it gets much better than that.
• 37:17
  Speaker 5: How much carries over from the I mean it was
• 37:19
  Speaker 5: even though you only won by ten. I mean it
• 37:22
  Speaker 5: felt like you dominated the last time you face these guys,
• 37:25
  Speaker 5: and that's the last game you've played, and so how
• 37:27
  Speaker 5: much do you feel like it's going to carry over?
• 37:29
  Speaker 5: We're going to see a similar type game.
• 37:33
  Speaker 7: Yes and no.
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: I mean I think you have to expect Shanahan is
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: going to come out with a different game plan. Obviously,
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: he's one of us, not the best in the business
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: in terms of putting together offensive game plans and taking
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: advantage of whatever may be able to be taken advantage
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: of against the Seahawks defense. But you know, I think
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: we're the better team. We've been the better team all year,
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: and I think it's I think it's imperative that we
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: come out and establish that. And you know, when the
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: team's banged up, when they're on the road, you don't
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: want to give him any signs of hope. And I
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: think that's that's what I'm hoping to see early and
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: often on Saturday night.
• 38:13
  Speaker 4: All Right, what's that? What's the game that do you envision?
• 38:16
  Speaker 7: Then?
• 38:16
  Speaker 4: As you're trying to race from Montlake to downtown Seattle
• 38:21
  Speaker 4: to Luman to get there in time to get to
• 38:24
  Speaker 4: your seats, what are you picturing? How does the game
• 38:28
  Speaker 4: end up going Saturday night?
• 38:31
  Speaker 7: I'm optimistic.
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: I think you know, everyone, not everyone, but it seems
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: like a lot of people are looking for, oh, let's
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: let's get the Rams, and it's like, you know, you
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: got to take care of business firsts. This is our rival,
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: it's our division rival. But I'm optimistic, and I think
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: it's a huge opportunity for Sam to kind of put
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: to bed this narrative that that he's.
• 38:51
  Speaker 7: Had chasing him.
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: Maybe not his whole career because he didn't play a
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: lot of relevant football early, but in the last few
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: years that you know, when the big game comes, he
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: can be a reason the team wins.
• 39:02
  Speaker 7: And not the other other way around.
• 39:04
  Speaker 4: How do you address for this doubleheader? I mean, are
• 39:06
  Speaker 4: you gonna wear two different outfits in the car or
• 39:09
  Speaker 4: are you gonna war pants? Yeah? Or maybe you just
• 39:13
  Speaker 4: go full Jermaine curse so you can just cover both
• 39:16
  Speaker 4: the both stories. So well, I mean, how are you
• 39:18
  Speaker 4: gonna do this?
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: I think, yeah, it's gonna have to be a Superman
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: type of situation I was thinking about.
• 39:27
  Speaker 7: I was thinking about doing a light rail.
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: Uh, probably the path of least least resistance, but I'm
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: probably not going on with that idea. So yeah, we
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: gotta we gotta figure out the logistics and the outfits.
• 39:40
  Speaker 7: But good problem to have.
• 39:42
  Speaker 4: Yeah, good problem to that birthday girl going with you
• 39:44
  Speaker 4: taking a friend? How are you gonna try to pull
• 39:46
  Speaker 4: who who's your partner in crime? To pull this thing off?
• 39:50
  Speaker 7: Well, you just spoil the present.
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: But like I said, she's she's still asleep, so I
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: don't think I think I'll be able to hold off
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: until we until we do bulls in for me.
• 40:01
  Speaker 4: I can see you guys rolling down there on scooters.
• 40:04
  Speaker 4: I thank you. How about that like a line bike
• 40:06
  Speaker 4: something like, yeah.
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: Well we do we that's from Motley. It's litt of comfort,
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: you know, from Queen Anne ride the momentum of the hill.
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: But yeah, that's a problem I got to solve for.
• 40:21
  Speaker 4: All Right, Well man, great to check in with you.
• 40:23
  Speaker 4: Thank you very much for a few minutes of your
• 40:25

  Speaker 5: went to the super Bowl, you know, twenty thirteen super Bowl.
• 41:24
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 41:25
  Speaker 5: I'm surprised you didn't just go into something like I
• 41:27
  Speaker 5: threw the Oregon. You know, they've got a couple of big,
• 41:30
  Speaker 5: tough games before they get Oregon, Uh, to come into
• 41:35
  Speaker 5: over here at Montlake.
• 41:36
  Speaker 4: He didn't buy it.
• 41:37
  Speaker 5: Well, I thought he was gonna take it for sure. Yeah,
• 41:39
  Speaker 5: he usually can't. He can't contain himself. He is a
• 41:43
  Speaker 5: big time hater of the teams that I love.
• 41:46
  Speaker 4: I think he's a big time lover, and he just
• 41:49
  Speaker 4: specifically hates certain things. Uh, and that's that's interfere with
• 41:53
  Speaker 4: the things he loves, right exactly. Hater of just not
• 41:57
  Speaker 4: it's it's it's bred in him.
• 41:59
  Speaker 5: I mean, he's told us the story of how he's
• 42:01
  Speaker 5: his disdain for Oregon, and it's never going to go anywhere.
• 42:04
  Speaker 4: I mean, my grandmother is probably the sweetest person that
• 42:07
  Speaker 4: I've ever known, and she hates terrorism. As an example.
• 42:10
  Speaker 4: I mean, there are certain things and I support those
• 42:13
  Speaker 4: are quite the same, I don't think, but I see
• 42:16
  Speaker 4: where you're going with.
• 42:17
  Speaker 5: I don't really see where you're going. I see where
• 42:19
  Speaker 5: you're trying to go with it, you know, And what
• 42:23
  Speaker 5: is Grandma fight?
• 42:24
  Speaker 4: Uh well grandma fight? Yeah she hated terrorism as well. Yeah, yeah,
• 42:27
  Speaker 4: Grandma Fight hated terrorism, similar hen Spencer hating. Probably she
• 42:35
  Speaker 4: would have been if she would have ever been exposed
• 42:38
  Speaker 4: to Yeah that makes sense, you people. Yeah, so, like
• 42:42
  Speaker 4: you know that you can be a wonderful person and
• 42:45
  Speaker 4: if you hate the wrong things or the right thing, right, Uh,
• 42:49
  Speaker 4: then I don't think that takes away from how splendid
• 42:52
  Speaker 4: a person you are. Yeah.
• 42:53
  Speaker 6: So, like hating terrorism, right, that's okay, makes you a
• 42:56
  Speaker 6: great person, makes you.
• 42:57
  Speaker 4: A better person. Yeah, I agree. Hating Oregan does not
• 43:02
  Speaker 4: make you a better person, makes you a better person. Right.
• 43:05
  Speaker 4: We did get we did.
• 43:07
  Speaker 6: Get a text on our brand new text line that
• 43:09
  Speaker 6: has been sponsored that I can't remember, but it's from
• 43:13
  Speaker 6: Keith who said, I could imagine Spencer on public transit
• 43:15
  Speaker 6: would be pretty discreet being seven foot tall, which was
• 43:18
  Speaker 6: my first thought him getting on the train.
• 43:20
  Speaker 4: Yeah, but I like that about him too. I don't
• 43:22
  Speaker 4: think he cares about that. I mean I think that, uh,
• 43:26
  Speaker 4: I think he handles that he'd handle that really well.
• 43:29
  Speaker 4: It's Tacoma Dodge text line.
• 43:31
  Speaker 6: By the way, the Tacoma Dodge text line.
• 43:32
  Speaker 4: That's that's what I meant. And you can just off
• 43:35
  Speaker 4: the top of my head, you can shop Tacoma Dodge
• 43:37
  Speaker 4: Chrysler Jeep Ram at the corner of thirty eighth and
• 43:39
  Speaker 4: South Tacoma Way. Wow, the intersection of savings, you can
• 43:42
  Speaker 4: do that.
• 43:43
  Speaker 6: I do love the See, that's one thing you can
• 43:45
  Speaker 6: love the intersection of.
• 43:46
  Speaker 5: That's a place I don't mind getting lost, right, and
• 43:49
  Speaker 5: everybody hates getting lost. But if you all of a
• 43:51
  Speaker 5: sudden look up and you realize you're at Tacoma Dodge
• 43:54
  Speaker 5: and oh my god, this is the intersection of savings, right,
• 43:56
  Speaker 5: then you're like, ooh, yeah, yeah.
• 44:00
  Speaker 4: If Spencer can pull the hat trick and be at
• 44:02
  Speaker 4: the UB game against Michigan State, Seahawks playoff game against
• 44:06
  Speaker 4: the Niners, and at some point the intersection of savings
• 44:10
  Speaker 4: plus Toyotathan, well oh.
• 44:13
  Speaker 6: Wow, yeah, he's he's really a Seattleite.
• 44:17
  Speaker 4: Prove it all, right, come up next. Fred Warner may
• 44:21
  Speaker 4: be returning for this game on Saturday night. What does
• 44:24
  Speaker 4: that do to change your confidence? Sports Radio ninety three
• 44:27
  Speaker 4: point three KJRFM. Of course, we lean very heavily this
• 44:30
  Speaker 4: time of the week on our Seahawks insider, Greg Bell
• 44:33
  Speaker 4: from the News Tribune, and also our QB one here
• 44:35
  Speaker 4: at KJR, that is Hugh Millan. Seahawks and the forty
• 44:39
  Speaker 4: nine er is going to do battle this Saturday night,
• 44:42
  Speaker 4: five o'clock kickoff. It will be on Fox for those
• 44:45
  Speaker 4: that don't make it to the game, but obviously people
• 44:48
  Speaker 4: are chewing through the walls to get to this game.
• 44:51
  Speaker 4: It's gonna be great weather, it sounds like on Saturday night,
• 44:54
  Speaker 4: and it's gonna be some fantastic drama. We kind of
• 44:58
  Speaker 4: discussed Greg brought up Hugh and maybe opening up the
• 45:02
  Speaker 4: offense a little bit, maybe we'll see Sam Donald be aggressive.
• 45:07
  Speaker 4: Tie that into Sam Donald and the pressure that apparently
• 45:11
  Speaker 4: people are placing on him that he's gone a lifetime
• 45:15
  Speaker 4: without playing well in these scenarios. It has to play
• 45:18
  Speaker 4: well in this game. On Saturday night, I.
• 45:22
  Speaker 9: Thought he'd crossed that hurdle when Seattle beat the Rams
• 45:26
  Speaker 9: on the Amazon, because that was a big game, right yeah,
• 45:29
  Speaker 9: And then I thought, okay, well, now let's stop talking
• 45:31
  Speaker 9: about the big game. Well then nope, they kept talking
• 45:34
  Speaker 9: about it, and then I don't say he won it,
• 45:37
  Speaker 9: but he quarterback the Seahawks to a win against the
• 45:40
  Speaker 9: forty nine ers. I think the goalpost keeps changing for
• 45:44
  Speaker 9: some reason on this guy, you know, and go back
• 45:45
  Speaker 9: to last year on December twenty ninth. Does that sound
• 45:49
  Speaker 9: late in the season?
• 45:50
  Speaker 4: Does to me?
• 45:50
  Speaker 9: It's after Christmas. I'll just submit to you this logical syllogism.
• 45:56
  Speaker 9: If you are on the shoulders of your team mates
• 46:01
  Speaker 9: in the locker after a game, then you just won
• 46:04
  Speaker 9: a big game. Like that's inarguable. And yet you can
• 46:07
  Speaker 9: look just YouTube search it Vikings locker room after Packers
• 46:12
  Speaker 9: because they were fighting the winning this division in the
• 46:15
  Speaker 9: history of football, the NFC North last year. So this
• 46:18
  Speaker 9: guy's had to win big games, and he's won a
• 46:21
  Speaker 9: lot of them. But I think it's just I'm certain
• 46:25
  Speaker 9: now if they win the forty nine er game, they'll say, well,
• 46:29
  Speaker 9: forty nine's were depleted.
• 46:30
  Speaker 4: He still hasn't won a big games. So I don't know.
• 46:32
  Speaker 9: But you know, as far as the turnovers, obviously fewer
• 46:37
  Speaker 9: turnovers is going to be better than more turnovers. But
• 46:40
  Speaker 9: let's I wanted to run. I ran some correlation for
• 46:43
  Speaker 9: the total regular season those correlations. But let me make
• 46:47
  Speaker 9: it easier if you're not a correlation function guy, one
• 46:53
  Speaker 9: hundred and fifteen playoff games in the last ten years,
• 46:56
  Speaker 9: discounting this year, people say, well, win the turnover battle.
• 47:00
  Speaker 9: If you win the turnover battle, fifty eight out of
• 47:03
  Speaker 9: one hundred and fifteen have won. Winners have won the turnoble.
• 47:07
  Speaker 9: That's fifty point four percent.
• 47:08
  Speaker 4: That's half.
• 47:10
  Speaker 9: Meanwhile, yards per play differential the winner seventy seven out
• 47:15
  Speaker 9: of one hundred fifteen. That's sixty seven percent. Passer rating
• 47:20
  Speaker 9: differential of one hundred and fifteen games, the winner had
• 47:25
  Speaker 9: the better quarterback passer rating ninety out of one hundred
• 47:29
  Speaker 9: and fifteen. That's seventy eight percent. So there's a third
• 47:32
  Speaker 9: down conversion.
• 47:33
  Speaker 4: How about this.
• 47:33
  Speaker 9: Why don't we say, let's win the third down conversion
• 47:36
  Speaker 9: percentage battle? If you do seventy eight out of one
• 47:39
  Speaker 9: hundred and fifteen, Like, there's other battles you want to
• 47:42
  Speaker 9: win too. So at an event, I think that Sam Donald, yes,
• 47:47
  Speaker 9: he wants to avoid turnovers.
• 47:49
  Speaker 4: You can't be paralyzed by that. I know that.
• 47:52
  Speaker 9: Mike McDonald tells us over and over again. I tell
• 47:55
  Speaker 9: Sam Donald, this is McDonald's speaking, I tell him just
• 47:59
  Speaker 9: keep fire, just keep firing your gun, go, you know,
• 48:03
  Speaker 9: words to that effect. So at any event, he'll win this.
• 48:06
  Speaker 9: And I'm sure that the narrative will maintain that he
• 48:09
  Speaker 9: hasn't won a big game. I don't really got to
• 48:11
  Speaker 9: win a super Bowl. I guess then they'll say he
• 48:13
  Speaker 9: hasn't won two.
• 48:15
  Speaker 4: So Greg, how do they reconcile this then? I mean,
• 48:18
  Speaker 4: your defense couldn't be playing better heading into the playoffs,
• 48:21
  Speaker 4: and you know, usually when you have a great defense,
• 48:24
  Speaker 4: you know you don't want to lose the turnover battle
• 48:27
  Speaker 4: and open up a door for anybody. You did commit
• 48:30
  Speaker 4: turnovers during the regular season. But my guess is that
• 48:34
  Speaker 4: they're not going to change anything that Sam does, and
• 48:36
  Speaker 4: from your comment, maybe they actually open it up for Sam.
• 48:39
  Speaker 4: On Saturday Night.
• 48:41
  Speaker 10: I get the feeling you really like Sam Darnold and
• 48:44
  Speaker 10: got that impression over the last statement.
• 48:46
  Speaker 4: I think he's gotten an unfair ramp.
• 48:49
  Speaker 9: I mean, the guy is the guy in the last
• 48:52
  Speaker 9: in the last four years, for what he's forty I'm
• 48:56
  Speaker 9: losing track of all the wins, but thirty two and
• 48:58
  Speaker 9: nine forty one starts with you know, he he has
• 49:02
  Speaker 9: won a substantial more higher percentage and produced produced one
• 49:09
  Speaker 9: hundred passer ratings at at I believe sixty three percent
• 49:14
  Speaker 9: Pat Mahomes over that same period is like thirty nine
• 49:18
  Speaker 9: percent one hundred rating. He's he's lost, Uh, he lost
• 49:22
  Speaker 9: more games Mahomes, He's had far fewer one hundred passer
• 49:26
  Speaker 9: rating games like that. He's the best quarterback of the generation.
• 49:28
  Speaker 7: I don't know.
• 49:29
  Speaker 11: I think this is this is another rubicon though he
• 49:34
  Speaker 11: has been in the league for eight years and never
• 49:36
  Speaker 11: won a playoff teams. He played one last year AGA
• 49:39
  Speaker 11: in Minnesota, and they sacked him. The Rams sacked him
• 49:41
  Speaker 11: nine times and they run him out of the playoffs.
• 49:43
  Speaker 11: And there goes a fourteen and three fourteen and two
• 49:45
  Speaker 11: season to start.
• 49:47
  Speaker 10: So there is this that is real. But look here's
• 49:51
  Speaker 10: what here's what I think the January third game will
• 49:54
  Speaker 10: have an effect on Kubiak and McDonald On Sunday Saturday Night,
• 49:58
  Speaker 10: McDonald is in bold now that our defense can win
• 50:02
  Speaker 10: games by itself. So let's unleash the quarterback. And he
• 50:06
  Speaker 10: calls it the cost of doing business and if but
• 50:10
  Speaker 10: be smart on where they do it. Don't throw the
• 50:13
  Speaker 10: ball deep down the field or put it in jeopardy
• 50:16
  Speaker 10: as McDonald's to say, when the ball's at your own twenty,
• 50:19
  Speaker 10: because then the turnover and it's just a thirty forty
• 50:22
  Speaker 10: yard field, and the Buccaneers and the Rams beat you
• 50:24
  Speaker 10: that way for two of your three losses.
• 50:27
  Speaker 11: Do it when you're closer to midfield.
• 50:29
  Speaker 10: So rely on the run game if it works as
• 50:32
  Speaker 10: well or even happed as well as it did against
• 50:34
  Speaker 10: the forty nine Ers two weeks ago. Rely on the
• 50:35
  Speaker 10: run game to get you to midfield and then take
• 50:37
  Speaker 10: your shots thirty plus yards down the field, so.
• 50:40
  Speaker 12: That if the forty nine ers intercept it, they got
• 50:42
  Speaker 12: to go eighty yards. The whole reason that the Seahawks
• 50:46
  Speaker 12: went for an on fourth and goal with the four
• 50:48
  Speaker 12: on the very first drive of the game. McDonald admitted
• 50:50
  Speaker 12: after the game, I should use the word acknowledge, not
• 50:53
  Speaker 12: admitted that we didn't think the forty nine ers were
• 50:56
  Speaker 12: going to drive ninety seven yards on us, And in fact,
• 50:59
  Speaker 12: we thought, if we don't get it here, we're going
• 51:01
  Speaker 12: to get the ball back in scoring position anyway on
• 51:03
  Speaker 12: the next drive, So why don't get two.
• 51:05
  Speaker 11: Chances to score instead of one? And that's exactly what happened.
• 51:07
  Speaker 11: The next drive after a three and out stop the
• 51:10
  Speaker 11: defense stopped the forty nine ers no tracks against the
• 51:13
  Speaker 11: own goal line of Seahawks got a drive start at
• 51:15
  Speaker 11: their plus thirty five and went in and scored the
• 51:17
  Speaker 11: only touchdown of the game. So I think that's where
• 51:20
  Speaker 11: you're going to see the offense open up. If the
• 51:22
  Speaker 11: Seahawks can get to midfield, which I'm sure they're going to,
• 51:26
  Speaker 11: then you're going to see the deep balls down the field,
• 51:28
  Speaker 11: and the cost of doing business could come into play there.
• 51:31
  Speaker 11: I'm pretty sure, no matter what they do differently with
• 51:34
  Speaker 11: Christian McCaffrey, no matter what they do that Ricky Piersol
• 51:37
  Speaker 11: is now back.
• 51:37
  Speaker 10: No matter how what Rock Purty's four to zero in
• 51:40
  Speaker 10: Seattle in his career, I'm pretty sure McDonald's going to
• 51:43
  Speaker 10: gain plan this to thinking that the forty nine Ers
• 51:45
  Speaker 10: aren't having eighty five yeard drives to score touchdowns more
• 51:48
  Speaker 10: than maybe what's in this game, and so bring the
• 51:52
  Speaker 10: offense pushing it down the field to where they can
• 51:54
  Speaker 10: score more than one touchdown and they probably win the game.
• 51:57
  Speaker 10: It's a very simplistic way of looking at it, but
• 51:59
  Speaker 10: I think that's where you'll see the Seahawks shots on Saturday.
• 52:01
  Speaker 9: Yeah, and there's some things going on that I think
• 52:04
  Speaker 9: we're kind of vaguely aware of. But I want to
• 52:09
  Speaker 9: bring some focus into this because this is these these
• 52:13
  Speaker 9: numbers are impacting the NFL game substantially. Greg just aptly
• 52:19
  Speaker 9: noted that the Seahawks on their first drive went down
• 52:22
  Speaker 9: to the four yard land, they went for it, and
• 52:25
  Speaker 9: they stopped them, got the punt, and and we're able
• 52:29
  Speaker 9: to score a touchdown. Coach, so you could almost kind
• 52:30
  Speaker 9: of say that sequence did lead to seven points. Go
• 52:34
  Speaker 9: back to twenty twenty three drive starts. Now, this is
• 52:38
  Speaker 9: the NFL stat portal. I don't know why they do
• 52:41
  Speaker 9: thirty one, but they did thirty one yard.
• 52:43
  Speaker 4: Line or more.
• 52:44
  Speaker 9: Got me six point six percent of this is two
• 52:47
  Speaker 9: years ago, six point six percent of the time drives
• 52:50
  Speaker 9: started the thirty one or beyond. Then last year it
• 52:55
  Speaker 9: got up to fourteen point one percent. This year twenty
• 52:59
  Speaker 9: twenty five, fifty one point one percent of drive start
• 53:04
  Speaker 9: the thirty one. That's never in the history of the
• 53:06
  Speaker 9: NFL has have we had a drive start that's changing
• 53:10
  Speaker 9: the kickoff rules. The kick changing the kickoff rules. So
• 53:13
  Speaker 9: when you're looking at field goals and if you're kind
• 53:16
  Speaker 9: of a little bit harden. You're an old school football
• 53:18
  Speaker 9: fan and you go, why aren't they kicking a field
• 53:20
  Speaker 9: goal here? It's because that these coaches know, they're having
• 53:25
  Speaker 9: these analytics advisors in there, and they're saying, look, that
• 53:30
  Speaker 9: value of three points isn't nearly what it was because
• 53:34
  Speaker 9: of where your opponent is going to get the ball
• 53:37
  Speaker 9: after a kickoff.
• 53:38
  Speaker 8: So that is going to play.
• 53:41
  Speaker 9: I'm not saying it's going to play a part in
• 53:43
  Speaker 9: the Seahawk forty nine er game, but I promise you
• 53:45
  Speaker 9: from this day forward to the end of the Super Bowl,
• 53:48
  Speaker 9: it's going to play a part in a lot of
• 53:50
  Speaker 9: decisions that we watch and be aware.
• 53:53
  Speaker 4: Of this, Like, that's an incredible surge in field position. Fascinating,
• 54:00
  Speaker 4: and that is exactly.
• 54:01
  Speaker 8: What Mike McDonald coached the game.
• 54:03
  Speaker 2: Like in Santa Clara.
• 54:04
  Speaker 10: He mentioned twice now that the forty nine ers had
• 54:07
  Speaker 10: the best starting position in the NFL on offense entering
• 54:10
  Speaker 10: that game.
• 54:11
  Speaker 11: So when he backed the forty nine ers up with
• 54:13
  Speaker 11: a fourth.
• 54:13
  Speaker 13: And goal with the four, he says, Hey, if we
• 54:15
  Speaker 13: don't get it, they're going to be like minus thirty
• 54:18
  Speaker 13: from where they usually average their starting to We don't
• 54:21
  Speaker 13: think they're going to gain those thirty yards on our defense.
• 54:24
  Speaker 11: That's why they went for and they'll do it again
• 54:26
  Speaker 11: on Saturday for the same reason because of what Hugh
• 54:29
  Speaker 11: was just mentioning three points becomes a tie game or worse,
• 54:34
  Speaker 11: after a kickoff. If you go for a touchdown and
• 54:36
  Speaker 11: you don't score, you're not starting at the thirty five
• 54:39
  Speaker 11: or plus like the forty nine ers had been off
• 54:41
  Speaker 11: season because of the Seahawks defense. They can play that
• 54:45
  Speaker 11: way if they had a defense, that changes everything. And
• 54:48
  Speaker 11: I think that's the advantage of see the Attle thinks
• 54:51
  Speaker 11: it has again coming into this game.
• 54:52
  Speaker 7: I like it.
• 54:53
  Speaker 4: I like what I'm hearing. Fascinating stuff. All right, tell
• 54:55
  Speaker 4: one more segment twelve Man Round Table with Greg and
• 54:58
  Speaker 4: Hugh Neck Sports Radio ninety three point three k A
• 55:00
  Speaker 4: R F M.
• 55:01
  Speaker 10: And I'm gonna be gone the rest of the day
• 55:02
  Speaker 10: at Seahawks.
• 55:03
  Speaker 4: Oh so you're making brownies, you're checking out. It's everyone's
• 55:06
  Speaker 4: wives birthdays, everybody's wife, Spencer Hawes's wife's birthday. Oh definitely not. Yeah, well.
• 55:14
  Speaker 7: You had to check.
• 55:15
  Speaker 4: Twelve Man Roundtable final segment. Hugh mellon Greg Bell with
• 55:19
  Speaker 4: us as we get ready and get you ready for
• 55:22
  Speaker 4: Seahawks forty nine Ers on Saturday night. Also want to
• 55:24
  Speaker 4: let you know Greg's got a specialty show. I don't
• 55:27
  Speaker 4: know if brownies will be included. They might be gone
• 55:29
  Speaker 4: by then, But seven to nine on Friday, Greg's just
• 55:32
  Speaker 4: going full scale Seahawks getting ready for the playoffs. Specialty
• 55:36
  Speaker 4: show right here on our airwaves at KJR following the
• 55:40
  Speaker 4: award winning Dave and Richard Faine radio show on Friday night.
• 55:46
  Speaker 4: So make sure you check in for all of that.
• 55:50
  Speaker 4: All right, Greg get us started. What are we going
• 55:52
  Speaker 4: to see on Saturday night? What's the keys? What's the result?
• 55:57
  Speaker 10: The keys are stopping Christian McCaffrey. He, especially with George
• 56:02
  Speaker 10: Kittle out, he's gonna be a bigger part of the
• 56:04
  Speaker 10: pass game than he was. January third, he had six
• 56:07
  Speaker 10: catches for thirty four yards. Nick Emon Worry was on
• 56:11
  Speaker 10: him more than the same the forty nine Ers coaches
• 56:13
  Speaker 10: thought he would be. And we've talked about Emon Worry
• 56:15
  Speaker 10: and how he's an anecdote to a guy like McCaffrey.
• 56:18
  Speaker 10: Those six catches for just thirty four yards were the
• 56:21
  Speaker 10: most catches with the fewest yards and no touchdowns that
• 56:25
  Speaker 10: McCaffrey had since Christmas Night twenty twenty three against Mike
• 56:30
  Speaker 10: McDonald's defense, the Baltimore Ravens his eight McCaffrey's eight rushes
• 56:35
  Speaker 10: for twenty three yards on January third, his fewest yards
• 56:38
  Speaker 10: rushing since the end of his second season twenty eighteen
• 56:42
  Speaker 10: December twenty eighteen, when he was playing with the Carolina Panthers.
• 56:46
  Speaker 10: They have to feature him more. They have to give
• 56:49
  Speaker 10: him the ball more than eight times on the ground
• 56:51
  Speaker 10: and six times in the past game.
• 56:54
  Speaker 11: The Seahawks are gonna do the same thing.
• 56:57
  Speaker 10: When they go zone, They're going to keep the McCaffrey
• 57:00
  Speaker 10: in front of When they go man, they're going to
• 57:01
  Speaker 10: put Emon Worry on him. And even when they go zone,
• 57:04
  Speaker 10: Emon Warry is gonna be the guy who runs out
• 57:06
  Speaker 10: and gets McCaffrey after he catches the pass. Emon Worry
• 57:10
  Speaker 10: is the guy that can be the anecdote again to
• 57:12
  Speaker 10: the San Francisco offense, they are not The Seahawks are
• 57:16
  Speaker 10: not gonna hold the forty nine ers to three points.
• 57:18
  Speaker 2: Again.
• 57:18
  Speaker 11: They're not gonna hold onto one hundred and seventy three yards,
• 57:20
  Speaker 11: which means the Seahawks need to score more than one touchdown.
• 57:23
  Speaker 11: I think they do because of the lack of pass
• 57:25
  Speaker 11: rush and Fred Warner and Nick Bosa still not being there.
• 57:29
  Speaker 11: I think you're gonna see one of the bigger pass
• 57:31
  Speaker 11: games from Smith and Jig and Darnold that we've seen
• 57:33
  Speaker 11: in a month or so, and the Seahawks win. Call
• 57:36
  Speaker 11: it seventeen ten, twenty one to ten.
• 57:39
  Speaker 10: With the forty nine ers just getting one touchdown on
• 57:41
  Speaker 10: an NFC title game in eight days in Seattle.
• 57:43
  Speaker 4: Channan knows that we're pretty good stop in the run.
• 57:46
  Speaker 4: That's he's aware of that. I think he's n I
• 57:48
  Speaker 4: slip him a note on that. All right, great, great breakdown.
• 57:52
  Speaker 4: What do you got, Bucky? What do you think is
• 57:54
  Speaker 4: gonna happen Saturday?
• 57:55
  Speaker 7: Well?
• 57:55
  Speaker 5: I do think Shanahan understands where the stats are. I
• 57:58
  Speaker 5: think he has PFF I bet a subscription to it.
• 58:01
  Speaker 5: Everybody is is it probably not gonna run real well,
• 58:03
  Speaker 5: but they're gonna try and they'll do better than they
• 58:05
  Speaker 5: did just simply because they got their all star left
• 58:09
  Speaker 5: tackle back. I also think that'll create a little bit
• 58:11
  Speaker 5: of security for Purdy back there and in the in
• 58:16
  Speaker 5: the pocket. I think it still is gonna be a
• 58:19
  Speaker 5: hard fought battle. I mean, I don't I just feel
• 58:21
  Speaker 5: like that's way division games go, and you get in
• 58:24
  Speaker 5: the playoffs and it leans towards even more competitiveness. As
• 58:28
  Speaker 5: beat up as they are, I have a hard time
• 58:30
  Speaker 5: thinking the Niners win, but I do think they're gonna
• 58:34
  Speaker 5: make a game of it. I'm gonna go nineteen seventeen Seahawks.
• 58:37
  Speaker 4: Nineteen seventeen Seahawks. All right, Hugh, are we gonna post
• 58:40
  Speaker 4: this thing out? Yeah, to a whole two Hugh. Where
• 58:43
  Speaker 4: do we close it out?
• 58:44
  Speaker 6: Here?
• 58:44
  Speaker 4: All around table? Before the nine?
• 58:46
  Speaker 9: I'm gonna go a lot of things on my notes here.
• 58:49
  Speaker 9: I'm gonna go with last night, watch the game again
• 58:53
  Speaker 9: from a couple of weeks ago, and I don't know,
• 58:56
  Speaker 9: I felt a little bit morbid and sadistic because the
• 59:00
  Speaker 9: eight eight hits on brock Purdy. I filtered it, Okay,
• 59:04
  Speaker 9: I want to I want to see those hits because
• 59:05
  Speaker 9: I had the impression that that he got hit a lot.
• 59:08
  Speaker 9: Three of them were sacks, and the last one at
• 59:13
  Speaker 9: the very end of the game on the fourth down,
• 59:16
  Speaker 9: that had to be the I mean, that was like
• 59:20
  Speaker 9: if you're into horror movies, that was that was uh,
• 59:23
  Speaker 9: you know, popcorn worthy. Because brock Purdy got freaking whipsawed
• 59:29
  Speaker 9: by Leonard Williams on his front and by Derek calling
• 59:32
  Speaker 9: the back. If you were at a movie theater in
• 59:34
  Speaker 9: the popcorn line and you saw Brock Purdy at six
• 59:37
  Speaker 9: foot tall, you know, looking looking like a guy who's
• 59:40
  Speaker 9: should be throwing a newspaper on your porch, and and
• 59:42
  Speaker 9: you saw standing next to him in line Leonard Williams
• 59:45
  Speaker 9: and Derek Hall, and then you just kind of imagined
• 59:48
  Speaker 9: how they hammered that dude. And that's probably the hardest
• 59:53
  Speaker 9: hit he took. And so it brings me to this,
• 59:57
  Speaker 9: the difference in the pressures without Bose. The forty nine
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 9: Ers are thirty second in sacrate. This this is forty
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 9: nine defense and twenty eighth in pressures. Seahawks are eleventh
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 9: in sacarate. Good, they're second in pressures. But here here
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 9: which is obviously great, the percentage of the time that
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 9: the the Niners bring five rushers are more. They're twenty
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 9: third in the league. Actually they're both at twenty one
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 9: point seven. They're both twenty third and twenty fourth league.
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 9: So they don't do it a lot. But I'm gonna
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 9: read from the stat Portal NFL quote percentage of plays
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 9: with a five plus man rush that result in negative
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 9: epa play for the offense end. Quote forty nine ers
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 9: are twenty eight Seattle number one in the NFL. When
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 9: they when they they don't bring five guys. Often when
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 9: they do, it is havoc. In the last game it
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 9: was eight plays. Now this is past plays, not run.
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 9: These are past just thirty two yards four yard average.
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 9: That would if you did average like you'd be not
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 9: just dead last in the NFL, but dead last by
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 9: a mile if you were that.
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 4: So Seattle has that advantage going in.
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 9: I think offensively, it ought to allow Sam Darnold to
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 9: uh to uh hold the ball for a tick to
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 9: get to his third or four fourth option instead of
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 9: feeling the need to pressure and then just keep keep
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 9: the pressure on on Purty, keep him in the pocket.
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 9: He had the game winner outside the pocket to Tongus uh.
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 9: And so if you delis allowed a brick of content,
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 9: break of contain, if you squeeze him from the inside,
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 9: the defensive ends convert speed to power like they did
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 9: in the last game hit Rock Purdy. I think that
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 9: Bucky's right, it's gonna be more competitive. But I think
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 9: Seattle uh that they should do enough of what they
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 9: did in the last game to advance onto that championship game.
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 4: Awesome stuff, gentlemen. We do appreciate it always. We'll talk
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 4: again tomorrow and of course the game on Saturday. Enjoy, Enjoy,

  Speaker 4: Well, it's great to have you on. Great to talk

  Speaker 4: to you, and uh, I did want to talk football
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 4: with you. With the Seahawks getting ready to play on Saturday.
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 4: Just how big of a football fan is Cayl Rowley.
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I've really, uh, I've really become a big Seahawks
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 2: and cracking shan here in the last couple of years.
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 2: You know, I didn't really so growing up. I was
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 2: you know, I grew up in South so college football
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 2: is always more of a priority down there, and you know,
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 2: obviously with my dad being a college coach, I just
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 2: you know, I just gravitated more towards that and so
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 2: you know for professional football, you know, never really had
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 2: a team per se. You know, I had some people
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 2: that I rooted for and stuff like that. So obviously
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 2: when I got to Seattle and I got to go
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 2: and raise the twelfth man flag, it was my first game,
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 2: and I kind of was like, all right, this is
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 2: this is my team here and hopefully hopefully I can
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 2: be a fan and it's for a long time and
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 2: it's worked out pretty well.
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 4: How cool has that been? I mean, it's you.
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 5: We've gotten to know you a little bit over the
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 5: over the years, and the city basically has fall in
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 5: love with you, especially after what you did last year
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 5: and you know, the things that you said and just
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 5: the way that you kind of present yourself as a
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 5: pro athlete. And yet the idea of being able to
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 5: then immerse yourself in the in the city and go
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 5: to the cracking games and go, you know, raise the
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 5: twelve man flag and I saw you went to Husky
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 5: Stadium there, Aunt Lake all of the stuff like that. Man,
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 5: how how cool is that from your perspective? I mean,
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 5: growing up a you know, a little kid that was
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 5: you know, dropping bombs in the backyard and and whatnot.
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 5: But now all of a sudden to be this kind
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 5: of you know, the favorite child of the city at
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 5: this point in time. How how fun has that been
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 5: that ride for you?
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I've really you know, I've really enjoyed getting to
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 2: kind of explore the city, be part of the community,
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 2: getting to you know, go to games, do these fun
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 2: things in the off season, kind of immerse myself and
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 2: you know, the culture, and and getting to be around
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 2: the other sports teams. You know, I think that's important
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 2: to you know, obviously continue to grow and continue to
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 2: be around, you know, the people of Seattle and the
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 2: other teams. And it's been fun. I've gotten to talk
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 2: with some guys and get close to some of them
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 2: and and obviously get to tear them on.
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 4: You know.
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 2: Like I said, it's a kind of a community kind
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 2: of thing. And I feel like Seattle in general, you know,
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 2: they're really tight with their teams and and you know,
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 2: I just want to be a part of it.
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 4: Who's that. Who's somebody that you call a friend that
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 4: you met on one of the other teams.
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you know I've gotten to I got to meet
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 2: Joey Decord, you know, obviously goalie with a sack, and
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 2: a few of those guys Bubauer as well, you know,
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 2: uh me and Cooper Cup He has the same agency
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 2: as I do, so I got to hang out with
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 2: him and his family a little bit. They're very, very
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 2: nice people and getting to you know, just kind of
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 2: hang out and talk with them and obviously get to
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 2: I met a few few, uh you know, Seattle Seattle legends,
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 2: you know, Jermaine Curse. I got to see Richard Sherman
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 2: the other day, that lest shrimp, Shrimp, shrimp whatever. So
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 2: you know, uh so I know there's no basketball here,
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 2: but hopefully here in the near future, you know, you
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 2: can get it back.
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 4: Yeah, cal Raley is with us right here on Chuck
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 4: and Buck. We're talking a little football, a little other
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 4: sports with cal Raley, and I'm sure we'll get to
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 4: a few baseball questions as well here in a little bit.
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 4: But yeah, not surprised you gravitate toward a lot of
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 4: nice guys. It explains why the logan Gilbert you can't
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 4: get along, you know. Yeah, you tend to like the
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 4: nicer guys there. Yeah, yeah, well did just a couple
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 4: more like on the football front, did they try to
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 4: get you to play football? I mean, you know, I
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 4: think somebody might have been convinced you could have been
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 4: a linebacker at some point you're in your youth. Was
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 4: that ever an option for you to play it?
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 2: H So I was more of a basketball guy growing up.
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 7: I played.
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 2: I played all the way through high school. I really
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 2: enjoyed it. Uh, you know, football, I I moved I
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 2: moved out as a kid. So I got asked to come,
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 2: you know, try out with football team. And and I
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 2: showed up day one and they put me. They put
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 2: me on the line. And I was like, this is
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 2: no fun. I'm not you know, I want to catch
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 2: a ball or to throw a ball, or I want
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 2: to run a ball. I do something fun. And they
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 2: put me on the line. And that was the last
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 2: day of that. So I mean as a you know,
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 2: as a ten year old kid, and I was like,
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 2: this is no fun. So I like, I'll stick to
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 2: baseball and basketball. And yeah, so that was that was
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 2: pretty much the end of Muffobooker cow Man.
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 5: I mean, you know, you being a catcher and doing
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 5: as well as you do with handling the pitching staff
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 5: like you're a rare breed or catchers in general kind
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 5: of have to be buddies. With those with the non
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 5: athletes as well as being a position player that plays
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 5: every day. I'm kind of joking to some extent, but
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 5: at the same time, I'm wondering, as a football fan,
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 5: what part do you like most about the game?
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 4: Like when you're watching it? I mean, is the.
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 5: Finesse of the passing game? Is it the the power
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 5: or the hitting on the defensive side? I mean, what
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 5: is it that that you kind of get riled up
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 5: about when you when you get ready to watch a game.
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, you know, I'm not going to sit
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 2: here and say I'm a football cou sure, so I
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 2: you know, I wish I could, you know, sit here
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 2: and explain the game of Exus and moves. So but
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 2: you know, I am just I am a fan. But
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 2: I you know, what I think we're really uh positioning
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 2: to me about the professional game is you know, the
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 2: kind of like any given Sunday mentality. You know, all
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 2: the all the players, all the teams are extremely well prepared.
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 2: They're really good for the most part. You know, thirty
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 2: teams in the league. Uh you know, like I said,
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 2: you know, anybody can show up any day and and
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 2: these other teams, so you know, but I really like,
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 2: you know, kind of seeing you know, how how the
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 2: game is played, you know, with the you know, setting
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 2: people up, you know, the play action passes. It's kind
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 2: of interesting to me, like you know, setting up the
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 2: run to get to the play action. How often does
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 2: the play action where you know, I've tried to follow
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 2: that a little closely because I know the Seahawks are
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 2: you know, they a lot of success, you know, early
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 2: on with the playoffs, and so you know, why was
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 2: that working. Was it because they're running it so much?
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 2: Or is it just because you know, that works you
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 2: know at certain percentage of the time. So it's kind
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 2: of interesting to me kind of looking at that. And
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 2: you know, since I am a toucher, you know, we're
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 2: there as like scouting a port, things like that I
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 2: have to go over and getting to you know, top
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 2: with other guys and you know, you know, see how
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 2: it goes for them and reading teams and reading defenses.
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 2: And we'll go into all that, all right.
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 4: Last thing on this and then we'll ask you a
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 4: couple of baseball questions. Who's the best fantasy football player
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 4: on the Mariners roster? And then number two, what is
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 4: your prediction for tomorrow night Seahawks forty nine ers.
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so Matt Brash has won the league the last
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 2: two years, so he's probably.
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 4: The best letting a Canadian do that. He's not he's
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 4: probably drafting Toronto Argonauts and Saskatchewan Roughriders.
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 2: I mean, when you got that much time and.
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 4: So, of course, and your prediction for Saturday, Oh.
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 2: Of course the Seahawks wins. So I don't know if
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 2: I give you a score, maybe.
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 4: Asto go.
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 2: Twenty seven, twenty seven ten.
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 4: Yeah, no, now you're speaking my language. Cal rally is
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 4: what it's right here on Chuck and Buck Interview about
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 4: football to this point, but we do want to ask
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 4: you a couple of baseball questions. I mean, you've had
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 4: a chance to take a breath. I mean, you know,
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 4: sixty home run season. I mean, man, what a year
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 4: that you had this past year from beginning to end,
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 4: and then you've got to start the process of trying
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 4: to come back the next year and you know, maybe
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 4: do it a little bit better. So what have been
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 4: your thoughts now that you've got a month away about
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 4: just what kind of a twenty twenty five cal Rawley?
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, you know, I tried to you know,
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 2: I got to you know, I guess take a take
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 2: a breather there at the end of the year, enjoy
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 2: some holiday time with the family and and kind of reflect,
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 2: you know, in the year. And it was obviously, uh
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 2: it was a good year. It was a good year overall.
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 2: Uh then to she's you know, the goal we wanted
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 2: to say. So that was a little disappointing, but you know,
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 2: a lot of a lot of optimism looking forward, you know,
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 2: with this upcoming year, and you know, as soon as
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 2: the near your hit, try to you know, leave that
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 2: stuff in the past and and move on. You know,
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 2: I think it's I think it's important to not dwell
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 2: on the bad and not on the good for too
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 2: long and and uh, you know, move on and start
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 2: start getting back after it again.
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 5: I'm with you, dude, that is the way to think
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 5: about it. Just you just move on past it. I'm
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 5: going to say something just because I'll die on the
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 5: hill you m VP should have got it.
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 7: It is what it is.
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 5: That's not taking away from her and Judge, he's amazing,
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 5: but he didn't sit behind the dish.
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 4: He didn't do what you do.
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 5: And I'll die on that hill like I said, so,
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 5: congrats on just the amazing season that you had. Do
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 5: you remember a few years ago when we were at
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 5: spring training and I think Chuck ended up. You were
• 1:13:07
  Speaker 5: over signing some balls, and Chuck goes, what do you
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 5: think cal Rowly hits fifty this year? And you kind
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 5: of looked at us like what And then we said
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 5: forty and you kind of gave thumbs up, like, yeah,
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 5: I go forty.
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 7: Now.
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 5: I mean, I don't know what the number is. We
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 5: should say this year sixty seventy eighty one hundred.
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 4: I think that's a good round number. Yeah, sure, sounds good.
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 7: What do you think?
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, let's go for it all right? Why not?
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 7: Why not?
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 2: Why not?
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 4: What have you thought about the offseason to this point
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 4: bringing Josh Naylor back, but possibly, you know, definitely having
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 4: lost to Polonko and then some other things obviously still
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 4: up in the air. But how you're feeling right now
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 4: about the way that the roster has been added to
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 4: subtracted from so far this offseason.
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, obviously with how quickly we were able
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 2: to add Josh back, he was such a such a big,
• 1:14:02
  Speaker 2: a big win for us. You know, we we think
• 1:14:04
  Speaker 2: everybody fell in love with him last year. Uh, you know,
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 2: he's a guy you know you want in the bunker
• 1:14:10
  Speaker 2: with you. Uh, you know, somebody that you want on
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 2: your team. You know, he's a winner, he wants to win,
• 1:14:15
  Speaker 2: he cares about winning. He thinks the right things, he
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 2: does the right things in the clubhouse, you know. So
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 2: it was it was an awesome move by you know,
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 2: the people upstairs, you know, getting that done and and
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 2: understanding that he's super important to this team and it's
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 2: going to be for a while. So like I said,
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 2: he brings a good edgeited team that we need and
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 2: and everybody loves having him around. He's definitely, uh, definitely
• 1:14:39
  Speaker 2: a good one to get. So obviously disappointing where where
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 2: uh you know, able to or that we lost Polanco
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 2: there he got a great deal with New York, obviously
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 2: wishing nothing but the best. But he was huge for
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 2: us last year. So that's that's. Uh, you know, obviously
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 2: it's hard to replace the guy like that, but you know,
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 2: we have to continue to move and continue to go forward.
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 2: And if that's you know, adding another one, that's adding
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 2: another one. If it's you know, starting to you know,
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 2: rely on a younger guy to come up and and
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 2: do his part and then so be it. So But
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 2: like I said, I think it was a really good
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 2: move in Josh and the and the bulking piece as well.
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 2: So you know, the lost season's not over. We still
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 2: got some time and hopefully we can you know, see
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 2: some more stuff happen.
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 5: Cal I mean, obviously, yeah, we got totill more time,
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 5: and I hope they go out and get another bat
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 5: to just kind of add to what it is you
• 1:15:32
  Speaker 5: guys bringing to the table. But I mean, there's a chance,
• 1:15:34
  Speaker 5: really good chance that some of these youngsters are one
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 5: of these youngsters, whether it's Cole or or you know,
• 1:15:39
  Speaker 5: Ben Williamson or Colt Emerson for crying out loud, one
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 5: of these youngsters is gonna need to step up and
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 5: and kind of mature right before our eyes.
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 4: It wasn't that long ago that you were that guy.
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 5: And so I mean, what does it feel like now
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 5: being maybe on the veteran side of things to where
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 5: you're watching these youngsters and getting to help them kind
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 5: of go through the growing pains of just just arriving
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 5: into the big leagues.
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's hard. It's hard, you know, even even when
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 2: I started to to you know, kind of figure it
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 2: out a little bit and started to learn my place,
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 2: you know in the league, and started playing a little better.
• 1:16:13
  Speaker 2: You know, even earlier in that year, I got I
• 1:16:16
  Speaker 2: got some down. So it's it's not something that you know,
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 2: even in the first month of the season, it might
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 2: not just might not click right away. It might take
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 2: a little long in that. But you know, it's our job,
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 2: you know, as the older guys on the team. Now
• 1:16:29
  Speaker 2: I've kind of moved into that role as someone has
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 2: been here a little longer, you know, trying to help
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 2: these guys and trying to bring them along and trying
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 2: to to help ease those growing pains and trying to
• 1:16:39
  Speaker 2: shorten you know, that that learning curve. So, like I said,
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 2: if I could do anything to help these guys, you know,
• 1:16:45
  Speaker 2: we're going to do it. So but you know, these
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 2: guys to kind of find their own way. I have
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 2: to find their their nature of the game. And and
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 2: you know, like I said, uh, we're here to try
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 2: to help that happen as fast as we can because
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 2: we're trying to win games, and we're trying to you know,
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 2: win a division, win a little serious.
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 4: So all athletes spend the off season trying to get better.
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 4: I mean coming off the season you had a year ago.
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 4: What does Kyle Rowley work on this offseason to become
• 1:17:12
  Speaker 4: a better player.
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think just consistency, you know, really trying to
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 2: hammer that home. I thought I took a big step
• 1:17:19
  Speaker 2: forward last year with with that at the play, So
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 2: really just trying to double down on that. Really, just
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 2: trying to stay consistent with my work, trying to trust
• 1:17:27
  Speaker 2: the process. I think that's that's always a big thing,
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 2: you know, trying to limits track to alas, trying to
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 2: put a few more balls to play here and there,
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 2: and and obviously lots of work on you know, from
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 2: the defensive front as well. You know, I gotta uh,
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 2: you know, trying to work on my arm a little bit. Uh,
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 2: work on some framing, new abs coming, So it's gonna
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 2: be interesting with that, and uh, you know, just work
• 1:17:52
  Speaker 2: on all around game, you know, constantly trying to think
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 2: of ways to get the team better, you know, whether
• 1:17:56
  Speaker 2: that's something I could do, and and and uh, you
• 1:18:00
  Speaker 2: know on the you know, pitching side of things, you know,
• 1:18:02
  Speaker 2: working on you know, game calling, prepping for games. What
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 2: can what can we do to help these guys you know,
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 2: be even better than there you are? Is there another
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 2: way you can go about it?
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 7: So?
• 1:18:13
  Speaker 2: Uh, you know, those are all all things that you know,
• 1:18:15
  Speaker 2: I think about, and you know, I know a lot
• 1:18:18
  Speaker 2: of people here in the organization think about as well.
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 4: Ky, how long was last season?
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 7: Dude?
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 5: I mean it's people talk about one hundred and sixty
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 5: two being a marathon not a sprint, and yet I
• 1:18:28
  Speaker 5: mean you play, you play the most demanding position.
• 1:18:31
  Speaker 4: You play just about every single day.
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 5: When you do get a day off, it's you're still
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 5: going to be hitting, and who knows you might have
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 5: to go out there and catch as well. You do
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 5: the All Star Break, you don't have any time off,
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 5: you win the home run Derby, and then you go
• 1:18:43
  Speaker 5: through the postseason. I mean, I know you want to
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 5: play every single day, and kudos to you for that,
• 1:18:48
  Speaker 5: But how long does a season get when you're going
• 1:18:51
  Speaker 5: back there and doing what you end up doing on
• 1:18:53
  Speaker 5: a day to day basis.
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, you know, even if I just stay here,
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 2: I could stay here today, we can you know, we
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 2: can talk about a Daunte one sixty two and looking
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 2: at it and that you know through that lens, and yeah,
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 2: it's gonna be long. It's gonna be grueling, you know,
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 2: for anybody, especially for a catcher. But to me, what
• 1:19:12
  Speaker 2: I've learned is just you know, taking it one day
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 2: at a time and then from there, taking it one
• 1:19:16
  Speaker 2: pitch at the time and really just you know, trying
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 2: to win that day, trying to you know, prepare that day,
• 1:19:21
  Speaker 2: trying to stay consistent with what I do so that
• 1:19:24
  Speaker 2: there's no you know, surprises that come up with my
• 1:19:26
  Speaker 2: body or on the mental side of things, and and
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 2: you know, really just prepping that. So to me, it's
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 2: just you know, when the day you want to know,
• 1:19:36
  Speaker 2: find a way, find a way to get it done.
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 2: Today one I got a time, one pitch at the time,
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 2: one ending at a time. That seems to really, you know,
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 2: help when you when you look at it through that,
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 2: and then over the long course of the season, you
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 2: can you know, you can pick your head up after
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 2: the season and be like, Okay, you know, I did
• 1:19:53
  Speaker 2: what I was supposed to do.
• 1:19:54
  Speaker 6: You know.
• 1:19:55
  Speaker 2: I think when guys get in trouble is when you
• 1:19:57
  Speaker 2: know they start looking like a wow, you know, two
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 2: months left, like I gotta get you know, this amount
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 2: of hits. I gotta you know, we got to try
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 2: to catch up by you know, this amount of games,
• 1:20:07
  Speaker 2: fifteen something games, and it's like, no, you got you
• 1:20:10
  Speaker 2: gotta you know, slow roll. It's a one day at
• 1:20:12
  Speaker 2: a time kind of thing. You can only control. Uh,
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 2: you know what's going on in today's game.
• 1:20:17
  Speaker 4: So in other words, he wants to catch one sixty two.
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 8: Yeah, that's what he is.
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 4: Yeah, all right, Uh do to close out, how how
• 1:20:27
  Speaker 4: much time do you spend with Logan in the off season.
• 1:20:31
  Speaker 2: Unfortunately, I'm not gonna spend a lot of time on
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 2: this offseason. But to be fair, he did have a kid,
• 1:20:36
  Speaker 2: so he had him and his wife had their first
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 2: kid raft of the season, so he's been enjoying some
• 1:20:44
  Speaker 2: some time with with their family and doing all that. So, uh,
• 1:20:49
  Speaker 2: but I've talked to him, We've we've had some chats,
• 1:20:51
  Speaker 2: and you know, I've tried to stay in touch with
• 1:20:55
  Speaker 2: most of the the starting five. Uh, you know throughout
• 1:20:58
  Speaker 2: the off season.
• 1:20:59
  Speaker 4: Did he go cal Gilbert? Did he do that for you?
• 1:21:02
  Speaker 2: Believe it or not, he did not do that. What
• 1:21:05
  Speaker 2: I was kind of surprised, So, I know, did you
• 1:21:09
  Speaker 2: hear by the way, thinking I was like go ahead,
• 1:21:13
  Speaker 2: I was thinking, I was like, well, why I thought
• 1:21:15
  Speaker 2: I thought you were gonna name the kid after me,
• 1:21:16
  Speaker 2: but I guess.
• 1:21:17
  Speaker 4: So I really let us all dangers, really features exactly.
• 1:21:22
  Speaker 4: Doesn't he know where his bread his buttery?
• 1:21:23

  Speaker 5: ongoing joke amongst position players and so. But he has
• 1:24:12
  Speaker 5: to spring training ends up being him getting the rotation
• 1:24:16
  Speaker 5: and the staff ready, right. So he's getting himself ready
• 1:24:20
  Speaker 5: right now. And I think one hundred. I don't think
• 1:24:22
  Speaker 5: it's that too big of a goal.
• 1:24:24
  Speaker 4: Hundred hundred homers next year for our guy, Cal thank you. Yeah, yeah,
• 1:24:30
  Speaker 4: well that's the over under all, right. Mike Sando's next
• 1:24:34
  Speaker 4: on kJ R and then Carle hunts now with Mike
• 1:24:38
  Speaker 4: here's chucking bud. Oh, yes, Mike Sando every Thursday, not
• 1:24:43
  Speaker 4: every Thursday that he follows cal Rawley on our radio show.
• 1:24:47
  Speaker 4: How many homers did you hit last year? Sando?
• 1:24:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 1:24:51
  Speaker 8: How many homers did I hit last year?
• 1:24:53
  Speaker 2: No?
• 1:24:53
  Speaker 8: No, no, I haven't any home runs.
• 1:24:57
  Speaker 4: Didn't have one home run for the Mariners the whole year.
• 1:24:59
  Speaker 8: Wow, no home runs hit? You got time for a
• 1:25:04
  Speaker 8: quick home run story?
• 1:25:05
  Speaker 7: Oh?
• 1:25:05
  Speaker 8: Sure, because it was kind of just a good modeling
• 1:25:08
  Speaker 8: of parenting for others out there. When uh, when my son,
• 1:25:12
  Speaker 8: one of my sons was a young lady is a pitcher,
• 1:25:14
  Speaker 8: and we were you know, he he gave up back
• 1:25:17
  Speaker 8: to back home runs off. One of them went off
• 1:25:20
  Speaker 8: the roof of the Elks Lodge nearby, you know, so
• 1:25:23
  Speaker 8: back back to back homers, you know, and he was
• 1:25:25
  Speaker 8: always a great he could roll with it. You know,
• 1:25:27
  Speaker 8: he's pretty good. But he'd roll with it. So it
• 1:25:29
  Speaker 8: wasn't like he was crying or anything.
• 1:25:30
  Speaker 2: So whatever.
• 1:25:31
  Speaker 8: So, uh, the next game, the next time, we were
• 1:25:35
  Speaker 8: going back to that field. When we were getting there,
• 1:25:37
  Speaker 8: I said, uh, he said, hey, are you pitching today?
• 1:25:41
  Speaker 8: And he goes, uh, he goes, oh no, I said, uh,
• 1:25:44
  Speaker 8: good that I can park anywhere. I'm the car safe.
• 1:25:47
  Speaker 8: Uh and my home run story and he laughed, he goes, dad,
• 1:25:50
  Speaker 8: come on, man, But that was sort of always my
• 1:25:52
  Speaker 8: strategy with the kids is like make light of fun
• 1:25:55
  Speaker 8: things and don't don't make it to be too big.
• 1:25:57
  Speaker 8: So when you said home runs, I maybe thought of
• 1:25:59
  Speaker 8: those two big ding or one of them off the roof,
• 1:26:01
  Speaker 8: and how I couldn't wait to just, you know, ask
• 1:26:03
  Speaker 8: if he was pitching the next time. Couldn't want to
• 1:26:05
  Speaker 8: get my windshiel broken.
• 1:26:06
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I love it. We got to get to football.
• 1:26:08
  Speaker 4: But you know what I love is that all like
• 1:26:11
  Speaker 4: little league home run stories, all you have to do
• 1:26:13
  Speaker 4: is like like ours was the tennis courts. I hit
• 1:26:15
  Speaker 4: one off the tennis courts, and you automatically just, oh,
• 1:26:18
  Speaker 4: that must have been a mammoth shot. I mean, how
• 1:26:20
  Speaker 4: do I know that that shed wasn't just one hundred
• 1:26:22
  Speaker 4: and seventy five feet away from your son?
• 1:26:25
  Speaker 7: Yeah?
• 1:26:25
  Speaker 4: Hell yeah, when you describe a little league home run like,
• 1:26:28
  Speaker 4: oh man, this guy he hit one off of you know,
• 1:26:31
  Speaker 4: the gas station, you know, and you knew, you just
• 1:26:34
  Speaker 4: know what a mammoth shot that was without even knowing
• 1:26:37
  Speaker 4: how far the gas station was.
• 1:26:40
  Speaker 8: It was super humiliating for the family. Well love those lessons.
• 1:26:45
  Speaker 8: If you sports there, you go.
• 1:26:46
  Speaker 4: All right, let's dive in Seahawks forty nine ers. That's
• 1:26:50
  Speaker 4: got to be where we start with our conversation about
• 1:26:53
  Speaker 4: the NFL Divisional round of the playoffs. I mean, we
• 1:26:56
  Speaker 4: just watched the Seahawks. I know they only won by ten,
• 1:26:59
  Speaker 4: but they did kind to man handle them a couple
• 1:27:01
  Speaker 4: of weeks ago. Mike, why would Saturday be any different?
• 1:27:05
  Speaker 8: It probably wouldn't be. You know, I think that in
• 1:27:08
  Speaker 8: any one game, turnovers, you know, can can swing it
• 1:27:11
  Speaker 8: and make it hard, and so that's been you know,
• 1:27:13
  Speaker 8: obviously everyone's talked about that with the Seahawks. They've had
• 1:27:15
  Speaker 8: a lot of turnovers. So but even that, I mean,
• 1:27:18
  Speaker 8: I feel like, you know, the Seahawks have such a
• 1:27:20
  Speaker 8: big advantage of rest of health, of probably being the
• 1:27:24
  Speaker 8: better team anyway, that it all signs to me point
• 1:27:28
  Speaker 8: to the fortinits probably running out of gas in the
• 1:27:31
  Speaker 8: second half of this game and probably just not having
• 1:27:34
  Speaker 8: enough offense against the sel defense to keep pace.
• 1:27:38
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it does feel like I mean, if Week eighteen
• 1:27:42
  Speaker 5: had anything to do and it does feel that way.
• 1:27:44
  Speaker 5: What I mean, one team has all the rest and
• 1:27:48
  Speaker 5: is recovered and is not as damaged via the injury
• 1:27:52
  Speaker 5: and whatnot. But what type of probability or what kind
• 1:27:55
  Speaker 5: of things can happen in these division playoff games because
• 1:27:59
  Speaker 5: it's said to seem like they get crazier and crazier
• 1:28:01
  Speaker 5: every time.
• 1:28:03
  Speaker 8: Well, you come out and you know, let's just take
• 1:28:07
  Speaker 8: the game. That's the fortinitars last time. I believe the announcer,
• 1:28:11
  Speaker 8: I forget who was, Hey, Sam Darnom's done a great job,
• 1:28:14
  Speaker 8: you know, protecting the ball. The next play they fumble
• 1:28:16
  Speaker 8: a handoff and the fordinits easily could have scooped and
• 1:28:18
  Speaker 8: scored on that. So I think those are the types
• 1:28:21
  Speaker 8: of things that you know, one game situation, are you
• 1:28:23
  Speaker 8: tight when you come out right? How does that look
• 1:28:26
  Speaker 8: to you? Do you fall behind quickly at home and
• 1:28:28
  Speaker 8: now the crowd's out of it? I think you're you're
• 1:28:30
  Speaker 8: aware and you you haven an awareness of those things
• 1:28:32
  Speaker 8: could happen in any game, but when they happen in
• 1:28:34
  Speaker 8: these types of games, they're super memorable, their legacy defining
• 1:28:37
  Speaker 8: all of that. So, uh, those are the negative types
• 1:28:41
  Speaker 8: of things that that can happen, But I don't think
• 1:28:46
  Speaker 8: you're overly worried about it. From a Seattle standpoint, I
• 1:28:49
  Speaker 8: think that I think they have the better team now.
• 1:28:52
  Speaker 8: I do think that, you know, this stadium with a
• 1:28:57
  Speaker 8: good team and a top defense is different. I think
• 1:28:59
  Speaker 8: it the loudness of it. I don't think the Seahawks,
• 1:29:02
  Speaker 8: this team has felt it. You know, this stadium is
• 1:29:06
  Speaker 8: going to be unbelievable.
• 1:29:07
  Speaker 4: So one of the.
• 1:29:08
  Speaker 8: Possibilities that's usually a very good thing, but one of
• 1:29:11
  Speaker 8: the possibilities is that does make it harder to communicate defensively.
• 1:29:15
  Speaker 8: And I think we do know that Seattle, you know,
• 1:29:17
  Speaker 8: likes to do a lot of different things, and you know,
• 1:29:19
  Speaker 8: could you have a couple of busted coverages in this
• 1:29:21
  Speaker 8: game because it's louder than you even anticipated, and you're
• 1:29:24
  Speaker 8: trying to do certain things to make the adjustments that
• 1:29:26
  Speaker 8: you want to make, and somebody doesn't get the call,
• 1:29:29
  Speaker 8: and now all of a sudden, Pretty's thrown it over
• 1:29:32
  Speaker 8: the top of someone's head and you get an a
• 1:29:33
  Speaker 8: Dyrd touchdown. I think that's the type of if you're
• 1:29:36
  Speaker 8: trying to find ways things to be aware of that
• 1:29:38
  Speaker 8: could happen, that might seem so surprising on the surface,
• 1:29:42
  Speaker 8: there could be reasons for those types of things to
• 1:29:44
  Speaker 8: happen that I think Seattle will figure out if the
• 1:29:46
  Speaker 8: game goes along. Hopefully for them, they don't have to
• 1:29:50
  Speaker 8: learn from it in game. But I do think it's
• 1:29:52
  Speaker 8: going to be different. I think that they haven't played
• 1:29:54
  Speaker 8: in this noise.
• 1:29:55
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah, yeah, you and I are seeing this one
• 1:29:57
  Speaker 4: the same way Mike Sander was with us R NFL
• 1:29:59
  Speaker 4: in you can follow Mat Sando NFL on X. Of
• 1:30:03
  Speaker 4: course he is with the Athletic. All right, Rams Bears,
• 1:30:07
  Speaker 4: how's that one turn out?
• 1:30:08
  Speaker 8: Well, there's no doubt that the Rams are a better
• 1:30:11
  Speaker 8: team and should be able to light up the Bear defense.
• 1:30:13
  Speaker 8: My worries for the Rams are that it's going to
• 1:30:16
  Speaker 8: be super super cold. It's a very difficult stadium to
• 1:30:20
  Speaker 8: kick in the conditions with the wind. You got Matt
• 1:30:23
  Speaker 8: Stafford's finger, you got the Rams have given up leads
• 1:30:28
  Speaker 8: before you know. They led by nineteen to the Eagles
• 1:30:32
  Speaker 8: and loss. They led by whatever it was, seventeen was
• 1:30:35
  Speaker 8: it on the Seahawks and lost the game sixteen, right
• 1:30:37
  Speaker 8: thirty to fourteen at one point late in the game.
• 1:30:40
  Speaker 8: So it does set up, you know, I think that
• 1:30:42
  Speaker 8: the Bears could come out in this game and just
• 1:30:46
  Speaker 8: really try to run the ball. They could have some
• 1:30:49
  Speaker 8: success with that, the Bears could. And then even if
• 1:30:53
  Speaker 8: the Rams are ahead, does Stafford's finger in that weather
• 1:30:57
  Speaker 8: make it harder for him to really exploit the matchup
• 1:31:00
  Speaker 8: advantages because Green Bay was going after number six the
• 1:31:03
  Speaker 8: whole game, you know, like almost to a fault. They
• 1:31:05
  Speaker 8: were thrown at him the corner for the Bears. So
• 1:31:09
  Speaker 8: you know, I just feel like the Bears are the
• 1:31:13
  Speaker 8: team without the pressure on them, the quarterback who's better
• 1:31:15
  Speaker 8: in two minutes from playing from behind, And I think
• 1:31:19
  Speaker 8: the Rams have the potential to be vulnerable in the
• 1:31:21
  Speaker 8: game because of that.
• 1:31:23
  Speaker 4: Yeah, how about the AFC games man.
• 1:31:27
  Speaker 8: Well, Houston's defense is really kind of like Seattle's defense. Now,
• 1:31:32
  Speaker 8: I think that they could be a little bit more
• 1:31:33
  Speaker 8: vulnerable against the run. I think they're not probably as
• 1:31:37
  Speaker 8: big and stout, but Houston does have the a little
• 1:31:42
  Speaker 8: bit of a profile like Seattle, where you're not as
• 1:31:44
  Speaker 8: good an offense, but you're really good on defense. And
• 1:31:47
  Speaker 8: I think against a playoff field that doesn't have a juggernaut,
• 1:31:51
  Speaker 8: I think that they could possibly be a dangerous team
• 1:31:54
  Speaker 8: if you're looking for one of those, you know, a
• 1:31:57
  Speaker 8: lower seed to get there, and I think the Bills
• 1:31:59
  Speaker 8: can get there too. So I feel like the FC,
• 1:32:04
  Speaker 8: I'm probably least confident in Denver, which is the number
• 1:32:09
  Speaker 8: one seed of those teams, and so I think we
• 1:32:11
  Speaker 8: could see a lot of different possibilities there, Whereas on
• 1:32:15
  Speaker 8: the NFC side, I feel like Seattle's got a great
• 1:32:18
  Speaker 8: inside track to get to the super Bowl and we'll
• 1:32:19
  Speaker 8: probably get there. I think you could throw them in
• 1:32:22
  Speaker 8: a hat.
• 1:32:22
  Speaker 4: On the AFC side, yeah, yeah, you and I are
• 1:32:25
  Speaker 4: seeing really closely on all of this stumb this week.
• 1:32:29
  Speaker 4: I just want to let you know I was two
• 1:32:30
  Speaker 4: and five last week, so they not exactly on fire
• 1:32:36
  Speaker 4: over here. Well, we didn't say we saw it the
• 1:32:37
  Speaker 4: same last week, That's true. I'm just saying maybe maybe
• 1:32:41
  Speaker 4: you don't want to think like me. Mike Sando is
• 1:32:44
  Speaker 4: with us, our NFL insider right here on the Chuck
• 1:32:46
  Speaker 4: and Buck John Harbaugh to the New York Giants seems
• 1:32:50
  Speaker 4: like a done deal. Surprised by this? Does it make
• 1:32:53
  Speaker 4: total sense to you where you at? Well, I think
• 1:32:55
  Speaker 4: it does make sense.
• 1:32:57
  Speaker 8: You know, I think that the you know, the Giants
• 1:33:00
  Speaker 8: have really missed having a coach with credibility since they
• 1:33:05
  Speaker 8: had Tom Kaughlin, and they haven't shown a real ability
• 1:33:07
  Speaker 8: to identify and hire the next guy. My warning for
• 1:33:11
  Speaker 8: the Giants is getting Yes, you're getting Harball, You're getting
• 1:33:15
  Speaker 8: a steady guy, You're getting somebody who's got a winning pedigree,
• 1:33:19
  Speaker 8: and you probably can put together a better staff than
• 1:33:21
  Speaker 8: what they've had. So that's all positive. I just don't
• 1:33:23
  Speaker 8: know that you export all of the other things that
• 1:33:25
  Speaker 8: helped make the Ravens be good, and there's been a
• 1:33:28
  Speaker 8: long history there with their personnel and just finding great players.
• 1:33:31
  Speaker 8: They've had only three coaches in their Baltimore iteration. Ted
• 1:33:35
  Speaker 8: Marcherbrod retired after he was done with them, and Brian
• 1:33:37
  Speaker 8: Billet never coached again, so we really haven't seen guys
• 1:33:41
  Speaker 8: go from Baltimore and have to try to succeed elsewhere.
• 1:33:44
  Speaker 8: I think that there's a big drop off in ownership
• 1:33:49
  Speaker 8: and organization going to the Giants, and there's also a
• 1:33:52
  Speaker 8: lot more scrutiny and so you know, how patient are
• 1:33:58
  Speaker 8: they going to be? How quick is the turnaround going
• 1:34:00
  Speaker 8: to be will be interesting to me. There weird the
• 1:34:02
  Speaker 8: Tomlin's not the Steelers head coach. Uh not really I
• 1:34:06
  Speaker 8: think we could kind of see. Uh, this had been
• 1:34:09
  Speaker 8: alluded to in the media the last couple of years,
• 1:34:12
  Speaker 8: and a is it going to be his decision to
• 1:34:14
  Speaker 8: walk away? And I think with Harbad being out it
• 1:34:17
  Speaker 8: it almost makes it. There's a symmetry here, like where
• 1:34:20
  Speaker 8: you have the two coaches that have been one place
• 1:34:23
  Speaker 8: a long time. They won Super Bowls, but it was
• 1:34:25
  Speaker 8: a long time ago. You don't really feel like they're
• 1:34:27
  Speaker 8: getting better right now.
• 1:34:28
  Speaker 2: They're kind of stuck.
• 1:34:30
  Speaker 8: So I think it's a good time for both organizations
• 1:34:32
  Speaker 8: to try something else.
• 1:34:33
  Speaker 4: All right, thirty seconds or so, give me one fit,
• 1:34:37
  Speaker 4: like a coaching vacancy and somebody to you that makes
• 1:34:41
  Speaker 4: perfect sense in that coaching vacancy.
• 1:34:44
  Speaker 8: Uh, that's a great question. I thought you would ask
• 1:34:48
  Speaker 8: me to study the field of coaches.
• 1:34:49
  Speaker 4: Dude, I thought you would have one right off the title.
• 1:34:52
  Speaker 4: I mean, you all talked about in the podcast Belichick
• 1:34:57
  Speaker 4: to the Browns.
• 1:34:59
  Speaker 8: You know, No, I think I don't think it's him.
• 1:35:03
  Speaker 8: You know what about Mike McDaniel to Atlanta. Oh so
• 1:35:07
  Speaker 8: here's why I like that. Okay, he was there before
• 1:35:11
  Speaker 8: when when Matt Ryan had that MVP season and he
• 1:35:15
  Speaker 8: was working with Shanahan there. So now you have Matt
• 1:35:18
  Speaker 8: Ryan basically kind of being the GM, right, I mean,
• 1:35:20
  Speaker 8: they're gonna hire a GM, but Matt Ryan's kind of
• 1:35:22
  Speaker 8: the guy. So I think there would be whoever comes
• 1:35:25
  Speaker 8: in there needs to like pass the credibility test with
• 1:35:29
  Speaker 8: Matt Ryan, right, And so to me, if you give
• 1:35:33
  Speaker 8: b Jon Robinson and some of the pieces they have there,
• 1:35:38
  Speaker 8: you may be able to get real good offense. Now
• 1:35:40
  Speaker 8: I would want to have a veteran decordinator and field
• 1:35:43
  Speaker 8: really squared away on that side of the ball, and
• 1:35:45
  Speaker 8: maybe some guardrails for McDaniel. There's risk when you hire
• 1:35:49
  Speaker 8: the guy and he hasn't had time to kind of
• 1:35:52
  Speaker 8: have a year or two to in between jobs, you know,
• 1:35:54
  Speaker 8: to kind of make himself better and ask some tough questions.
• 1:35:57
  Speaker 8: But I do think that does make some sense for them.
• 1:36:01
  Speaker 4: All right, all right, I don't know if you hit
• 1:36:03
  Speaker 4: that one on the roof, but that was pretty good.
• 1:36:05
  Speaker 4: That was pretty good right there. All right? Well, normally
• 1:36:08
  Speaker 4: I would say enjoy the football, but I don't have
• 1:36:10
  Speaker 4: to tell you you're gonna do it no matter what.
• 1:36:13
  Speaker 8: You won't let it be their Saturday Seahawks Sea Hucks
• 1:36:17
  Speaker 8: guy Niners looking forward.
• 1:36:18
  Speaker 4: To love it, love it all right, well, enjoy it all.
