• 1:40
  Speaker 2: Be doing the show up at the Hawks Peak on Friday.
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: Can't wait for that love being up there. They got
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: some big plans when the Seahawks get to the NFC
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: Championship game, which we'll announce down the road. But of course,
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: sales closest is Snow Call me Casino in Hotel SnO
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: Casino dot com. I mentioned the Seahawk injuries, Josh Jones
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: not practicing. I'd like to see him back. It'd be nice.
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: He's a backup swing tackle and even though Charles Cross
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: full participant, which is great news, back at left tackle
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: this week. I just Jones is a really, really important
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: player for this team, so hopefully he comes back. But
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: the one that kind of jumped out at everybody yesterday
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: and Mike McDonald addressed it today is DeMarcus Lawrence and
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: he's got an achilles limited in practice. Yesterday. Well, you're
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: playing the San Francisco forty nine ers. You see achilles
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: on your injury report, and you know what happened to
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: Frett to George Kittle, and you're like, ah, Mike mcdag
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: kind of squelched that today and said, yeah, he's been
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: dealing with it for a little while. They're monitoring it.
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: They've they're they're on top of it, they're keeping an
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: eye on it and all those things. So sounds like
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: everything's okay. It's just this is the time of the
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: year where every little like injury reports of the NFL
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: are kind of funny. I find him comical, to be
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: honest with you. Doubtful, questionable, limited, not limited. You know,
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: players taking a day rest whatever, week to week. It's fine.
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: It is what it is. Now you kind of DeMarcus
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: Thorns is a massive, massive part of this football team
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: and its success on defense. But sounds like he's okay.
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: So when you see that out there, here's something, Oh,
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: DeMarcus Arrence. Mike McDonald addressed his press conference. We carried
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: it here on KJR. Sounds like he is a okay
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: to go. We'll talk about all that stuff with Mike
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: Hombrin the matchup itself coming up with him here in
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: about fifteen minutes time. The Dante More thing. I'm fascinated
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: by him coming back, and you know, there's a lot
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: of chatter out there, a lot of speculation as to
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: you know, why he's coming back. One of the things
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: that we're hearing and you're gonna hear and probably have
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: heard if you're a big diehard fan, You're like, Okay,
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: well he didn't want to go to the New York Jets. Okay,
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: I could see that, Mark and I just discussed that
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: briefly a second ago. There is precedent in the NFL.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: We all know about the Eli Manning situation not wanting
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: to go to San Diego and the Chargers and all that.
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: I don't know how much of it. And listen, he's
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: never gonna come out and say I don't want to
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: go to the Jets, like that'll be never. But he
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: made the right decision. He also just changed a lot
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: in terms of expectations. Now, Dylan Rayola was going to
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: be there. He's the former Nebraska quarterback, started as a
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: true freshman. He got hurt last year. Got to think
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: in a lot of ways, he knew what the landscape was.
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: You know that they weren't just going to say, hey,
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: come here, you're going to be our starter. If they
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: thought there was a chance Dante More is going to
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: come back, he probably sits for a year and he's
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: a quarterback in waiting for next year or for two
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: years from now. In twenty twenty seven. Meanwhile, Dante Moore
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: comes back immediately comes in to a team that went
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: to the college football Playoff semi finals. I know they
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: got their doors blown off. We all saw that with
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: our very eyes, own eyes. We saw that. But he
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: comes back there immediately a college football playoff contender right
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: off the get go with him. They're also he's also
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: right away probably a Heisman Trophy candidate, top guy, you know,
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: one of the top guys coming back next year as well.
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: But maybe more importantly, he made a good decision that
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: you probably would have never made in years past. He
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: made a good football decision. And for all the money
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: we're tossing around and seeing getting tossed around to players,
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: the college football game itself should be better than ever
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: before because whether it be a Dante Moore or a
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: wide receiver or a running back or whoever it may be, Guys,
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: it makes more sense sometimes to stay in prepare yourself
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: for the next step, and prepare yourself for the next
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: level and get better and also, hey, wait for it,
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: still be able to earn some money along the way. Now,
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: Dante Moore, And if you listen to our show on Fridays,
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: we've had Rob rang On. We have Rob On every
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: week he's our draft analyst from Fox sports dot Com
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: and doing it for a zillion years. And Rob's been
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: telling us all year it's a bad quarterback class. And
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: it's a really kind of just a bad draft class,
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: top to bottom, rounds one through seven, just not a
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: good class. You know, when the Seahawks made a trade
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: this year, I mean, this is not the year you
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: care about your draft picks as much, you know, Rob,
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: And Rob's not the only one saying that, but we
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: like Robbie's on our show. He's gonna say it's bad
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: draft class. Bad draft class puts Dante More in the
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: top two. There's no guarantee he's gonna be there next year,
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: in the top five. There's no guarantee. You would think,
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: I mean, guys do drop, guys, do have take a
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: step back, But I would he made a good football decision.
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: I mean, there's no there's no reason for Dante More
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: to think he's ready for the NFL right now. But
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: if you're chasing the money, and yes, people will tell
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: you the math, say he's gonna make six million, I'm
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: just gonna throw this out there.
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: Let's say he's making six million. Oregan he had a
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: guarantee of like forty eight forty nine million if he
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: was a number two pick in the draft over the
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: course of his contract, over the course of four years,
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: if he was drafted that high. Obviously, that math doesn't
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: work out except for the fact he could get that money,
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: have that money guaranteed, and flame out because frankly, he
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: needed another year of college football. Smart move. A lot
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: of guys are making these it's a smarter move now,
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: like stay in college. I still and this is a
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: topic for another day, but when I saw that today,
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: one of the things I did think about, and I
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: believe it was Chuck brought it up last week and
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: I got to get him on there. I got to
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: check and see if this is exactly what he was saying.
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: But I think he brought up the thought, you know,
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: cause there's got to be a better way with how
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: we do it in college football. There just has to be.
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: And you know, maybe that better way is kind of
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: the junior hockey model and the NHL junior hockey model.
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: What does that mean, Well, you draft a guy, let's
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: just use our guy, Berkeley Caton draft him? Is you
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: know he his first year eligible for the draft, was
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: two years ago. Berkeley got drafted eighth overall, wasn't ready
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: to play in the NHL right away, so they're able
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: to send him back now. They also signed him to
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: a contract, so he had up some he had some
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: signing bonus money in his pocket. But he back to
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: Spokane and he got better, and now all of a sudden,
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: we're seeing it playoff. He's got four goals and four
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: goals in the last five games or whatever. It is,
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: so like it's paying off for Burke. Like the NFL,
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: I don't think would ever do this because then it
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: really turns college football into the minor leagues. But you
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: don't have to be the minor leagues. But how much
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: fun would it be? Okay, Danteymore is gonna go to
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: the draft, he gets drafted, and then the Jets say,
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: you know what you need another year, go back to Oregon.
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: You still have your money. You go back to Oregon.
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: You've been drafted. We move on. Same thing with any player.
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: Left tackle. I'm gonna take this left tackle. He's really good. Okay,
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: good Boom, take draft him. Yeah, probably be a backup
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: your rookie year. We're going to send you back. It'll
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: probably never, it would never happen. But I think it
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: was Chuck that brought that up. Andrews was telling me
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: the end of the day, it's a great idea. Here's
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: a thing. Though, if you're Dante more, you probably still
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: wouldn't do it. You know why, because you don't want
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: to go to the Jets. Sorry, Jess, you don't want
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: to go. I get it, believe me. I know that's
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: where good quarterbacks go to have their careers die. Hello
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: Zach Wilson, Hello Sam Dnold who somehow got rejuvenated along
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: the way and got back going. But that's why, Like,
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: I don't want to go there. But interesting move by
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: Dante Moore from a football standpoint, probably no doubt whatsoever.
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: He did the right thing. We can argue about the finances.
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: But you also he's betting on himself, which I kind
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: of like. I like guys that bet on themselves, Like, yeah,
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna bet on myself, damn it, I'm gonna all
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: come back. I'll be fine. I like that too. Yeah,
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: and probably knowing that he's not ready, there's a lot
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: of guys already. You know, there's a chance next year
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: that Demon Williams could have that same thought, like do
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: I come out I'm eligible three years in, but am
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: I ready? Maybe not? You know, maybe not now. Also
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: depends on the quarterback class and everything else. But I
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: think it's a pretty interesting thing to take a peek at. Okay,
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: Mike Holmgren is gonna join us coming up next. Normally
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: Mike's on at two o'clock on Wednesdays with us, but
• 9:54

• 14:03
  Speaker 2: Mike, if I'm gonna get to the game in a
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: second and the matchup and we'll get to all that
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: stuff in a heartbeat, let me get your thoughts on
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: what's going on in the NFL. It's been a it's
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: been a crazy week. I think it's now up to
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: almost thirty percent of teams are looking for new coaches
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: in this offseason. You've been through it on all sides.
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: You've been You've been through it as a president, you've
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: been through it as a as a coach, a GM,
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: as an assistant coach, and et cetera, et cetera. Do
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: you feel as if it's we're seeing maybe guys pulling
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: the trigger too soon. And there's obviously a couple of
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: long tenured guys in Harbon, Tomlin that that was a
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: little bit different. But what's Mike Holmgren's thirty thousand foot
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: view of what's going on with all these coaching changes
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: in the NFL.
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: Well, Yan, I think it is different than it was
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: twenty years ago because I think owners and people were
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: pretty reluctant to fire a guy after one year or
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: two years. I thought, that's not usually enough time to
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: see what he can do. And if a play, if
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: a coach comes in and the roster isn't there, or
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: any number of reasons causes the team to have a
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: bad year, it's not always the coach. In fact, the
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: coach is usually you know, is playing the cards he's dealt.
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: And so, yeah, that's a little different.
• 15:28
  Speaker 4: Now.
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: I think there're more guys are going to pull the
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: trigger sooner than later. And now with Tomlin and Harbaugh,
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: obviously they coach eighteen nineteen years with their teams, and
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: that's remarkable. I mean, that really is remarkable. But I
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: would say this, and I'll quote my friend Chuck Knox
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: who told me at a meeting, I think I've told
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: you this before.
• 15:51
  Speaker 4: Hey, Mike, come here.
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: Of course, I of course I walked over to him,
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: I was scared, and he goes, let me give you
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: some advice.
• 16:03
  Speaker 4: Eight or nine years, that's about it.
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: Regardless. If that's about it, then you should make a change.
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: They the press have heard everything you've had to say.
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: The players, all the stories are the same. So and
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: you look at his time, and he was a great
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: coach everywhere. But that's what he did. You know, he
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: changed Buffalo, Seattle and so on and so forth. And
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: so I think in Mike's case and Harbo's case, they're
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: outstanding coaches.
• 16:30
  Speaker 4: There's no question about it.
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: But I don't know this, but I think after seventeen
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: eighteen years, things can get a little stale. You don't
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: necessarily lose all the time, but it just is, you know,
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: you're kind of stuck in a certain rut. And so
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: I think that although it didn't make sense to a
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: lot of the fans there, it made some sense to
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: me that it was time. And I think if you
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: ask them and they were being honest about it, they
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: would say the same thing.
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: Well, I think, yeah, Mike, I would agree with you.
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: I mean, I think we saw that here in Seattle.
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: You know, I Pete did an incredible job for all
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: those years, but the message which was and probably this
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: is the case. I mean, you know, you coach for
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: a long time as well, like I don't know if
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: the message from a head coach ever, that you can't
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: change necessarily your message or who you are, right, And
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: you know, Pete's message I think was even though the
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: players changed, it was over. It was time to make
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: a change. And boy they've it's it's proven to be
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: a brilliant move by by John Schneider and Jody Allen
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: and Bert and everybody that they made this move with
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: Mike McDonald when you were when you know you made
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: the move to from Green Bay to here? Was it
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: entirely because of the GM job? And I asked that
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: because you're talking about the message, or do you think, hey,
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: I've done what I can do in Green Bay, I
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: need another challenge. And obviously the GM job was part
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: of it, But how much of that was was just
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: kind of like a fresh starts good for me as well.
• 18:00
  Speaker 4: Well.
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: There was a combination of things, I think one the
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: GM job, the combination of coaching in GM and being
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: having to make all the decisions excuse me, that appealed
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: to me first of all. But Green Bay was a
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: great place. But I'll tell you what if you're coaching
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: Green Bay, because of the size of the place and
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: the fact I've told you this before, that I felt
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: responsible for the mood of the entire state if we
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: lost the game. I mean, it was just it's a
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: different it's hard to describe to people. They don't, oh,
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: come on, no, but it's different that way, And so
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: that kind of wears on you just a little bit.
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: But I also find out something about myself. The challenge
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: of fixing something that was broken, you know, appeal to me.
• 18:44
  Speaker 4: That appealed to me.
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: And so then you had a great owner and Paul
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: Allen and they were very persuasive and me coming out here.
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: But I go back to my last year in Seattle.
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: The combination of Pete Carroll and John Schneider or John
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: Snyder and Mark Mike McDonald. That's that's a great thing.
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: It was like me and Ron Woolf. That's a great thing. Yeah,
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: you know, And my last year, I I I was
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: tired of fighting battles in the building. It was hard
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: enough just winning games, and so it was time for me.
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: It was time for me, and I knew it. But
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: these guys that stay longer, bless their hearts, and I'll go.
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: For them well, and it's yeah. I mean, listen, you've
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: got to be on the same page. And there's there
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: was no doubt that you and Ron were. There's absolute
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: I mean that the proof is right there. It's no
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: doubt that when you got to Seattle in the first
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: few years at least before things changed, that you and
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: whoever was working with you. You got a couple of
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: different guys over the years, you guys are on the
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: same page. As soon as that synergy is disrupted, it
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: goes away. What is it about Mike McDonald that has
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: impressed you the most over the last two years as
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: he heads into his first playoff game as a Seahawks
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: head coach.
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: I think his intellect and his attention to detail. He's
• 19:59
  Speaker 3: a very intense and he's very smart. But I really
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: like my conversations with him have always been really positive
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: and really good, and we've had some good ones, you know.
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: But he he's no nonsense. He knows every facet of
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: that team, what they're doing, every player. He's a defensive guy,
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: so that's what he likes to do and that's his
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: emphasis is there, But you know, he hired Clint Kubiak,
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: and there were reasons he did that, and good reasons,
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: and I heard him talk to me about those reasons,
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: and that's what strikes me. He's just very intense, but
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: very smart, and his players are going to do the
• 20:41
  Speaker 3: right thing and play hard for him.
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: He's kind of the Mike Hombrean of defense. So he
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: wants to call the defense. He still wants to call
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: the defense. He's got a defensive coordinator, you had an
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: offensive coordinator. But he does turn the ball, well, you
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: know the other side of the ball. He turns it
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: over to his offensive coordinator. In the case of Clint Kubiak,
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: how hard is it. Do you think to call a
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: game in today's NFL is any different than when you
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: did it?
• 21:05
  Speaker 4: I don't think so. I don't think so.
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: On what I would say is, in Mike's case and
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: in my case, all the stuff that the head coach
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: has to think about and do, including the media and
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: all the stuff, you got to have some fun doing it.
• 21:21
  Speaker 4: And so you know I'm calling the game? Was fun?
• 21:24
  Speaker 3: That was I was That was that was I wanted
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: to do that and that that that was the fun
• 21:29
  Speaker 3: part of my job. One of the things that was fun.
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: But that was the fun part, and I'm sure and
• 21:34
  Speaker 3: that kept me going, It really did. And I don't
• 21:38
  Speaker 3: think it's any different now, except you know, the run
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: pass option entered in. We didn't have that. That's that's
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: a change in their shotgun. So much shotgun and so
• 21:50
  Speaker 3: much empty formations, just empty you know, we didn't do that,
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: you know, And so but that has evolved from college
• 21:56
  Speaker 3: the college game to the pro game. And you know,
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: I have my I have my doubts at some times
• 22:04
  Speaker 3: why they're doing that, but that's the way it is.
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: So that's changed. But you know the fact that Mike
• 22:10
  Speaker 3: has handed that to Kubiek. You're still the head coach
• 22:13
  Speaker 3: and you might meet with him on Monday and do whatever.
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: But during the game, he's the guy.
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: Cube's the guy, which prevars him then probably puts him
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: in that position that he's in right now where a
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: lot of teams are looking at him as a possible
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: head coaching candidate. And we'll see what happens now that
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: he's back in at this week, the interviews come to
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: an end until the season's over. But let's talk about
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: the game and just you've been through it, somebody asked
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: me this today and a show I was doing elsewhere
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: another city. The bye week. I can't imagine there's any
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: downside to a bye week, or is there, Mike? You know,
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: you hear about momentum, I don't know, and all those things.
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: But boy, getting rested in an extra week to prepare
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: it feels like that that's all good. Is there any
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: downside to a bye week at all?
• 22:55
  Speaker 4: Well?
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: I experienced a downside bye week one year in San
• 22:59
  Speaker 3: Francis with the forty nine ers, same situation. We had
• 23:03
  Speaker 3: the bye week and we wanted to play in Minnesota.
• 23:06
  Speaker 3: In San Francisco, we were favored, We had a good team,
• 23:09
  Speaker 3: we had had a good season. But what happened during
• 23:12
  Speaker 3: the bye week during the two weeks looking back on
• 23:16
  Speaker 3: it and Coach Walsh at the time, you know, brilliant,
• 23:18
  Speaker 3: But at the time, you know, we practiced. We practiced
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: hard for two weeks hard, and we prepared hard for
• 23:27
  Speaker 3: a couple of teams we thought we might play. So
• 23:29
  Speaker 3: you're preparing that, you're doing that. By the time the
• 23:31
  Speaker 3: game came in, I think our guys they didn't have
• 23:35
  Speaker 3: enough spark. It was a different game, and it was
• 23:39
  Speaker 3: odd because we were a better football team, but we lost.
• 23:43
  Speaker 3: But that I remembered that in my chances moving forward,
• 23:47
  Speaker 3: and I wanted to pace it like the Super Bowl,
• 23:50
  Speaker 3: that you know, the first week, then you crank it
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: up the second week, or you change how you're going
• 23:55
  Speaker 3: to prepare because you want to be prepared on the
• 23:58
  Speaker 3: Sunday or Saturday you're playing, not on the Thursday before.
• 24:03
  Speaker 4: And so, uh, you know, Mike knows that.
• 24:05
  Speaker 3: And he's been there, you know before, and and uh,
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: I don't know how they've been practicing, how they've done it,
• 24:11
  Speaker 3: but uh, that was my experience. I liked having the
• 24:14
  Speaker 3: buy you're older guys, they heal up, you know, the
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: Tobecks of the world, those guys Chris Gray, Oh, thank
• 24:22
  Speaker 3: goodness for the buye.
• 24:23
  Speaker 4: You know.
• 24:24
  Speaker 3: Uh, but and and and it really helps your team
• 24:28
  Speaker 3: get healthy too.
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, listen, Mike, you know, in today's world, in
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: today's world, the sports science whatever, everybody's practice pads have
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: GPS monitors on it. There's no way didn't allow a
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: practice or a munch of practices like coach Walshoon back then. Right,
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: there's no way that.
• 24:43
  Speaker 4: I remember Mike Tys telling me that when he was
• 24:45
  Speaker 4: coaching the Raiders. I went to a practice.
• 24:47
  Speaker 3: He came over and and I go, hey, how's it going.
• 24:50
  Speaker 3: He goes, Boy, these little these little things they implant
• 24:54
  Speaker 3: drag me nuts. Like, what are you talking about? He goes, yeah,
• 24:57
  Speaker 3: every player they got him in their pads. That counts
• 24:59
  Speaker 3: the steps they take. As soon as they get to
• 25:01
  Speaker 3: a certain level, I.
• 25:01
  Speaker 4: Got to take them out of practice.
• 25:03
  Speaker 3: So you're kidding, you know, you can imagine you know,
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: Mike Tys, I imagine, Yeah, what is this about?
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I also know Mike Congrid. I know you
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: wouldn't have handled that very well. It's like over with
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: us right now. So they get the week off, they
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: get San Francisco Round three. Uh, they've split the first
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: two games. I mean, how much how much preparation are
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: these two teams doing for each other?
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: You?
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: I mean, at this point it's back to back for
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: Seattle against the same football team and San Francisco just
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: had one game in between. Is this the easiest prep
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: that Shanahan and McDonald will have ever?
• 25:39
  Speaker 3: It'll be It'll be easier, let me put it that way.
• 25:42
  Speaker 3: I don't know if it'll be the easiest because both
• 25:44
  Speaker 3: both teams have coaches that are pretty creative, so you're
• 25:48
  Speaker 3: gonna see some different things, but basically you don't want
• 25:50
  Speaker 3: to overload that the changes because then you might not
• 25:54
  Speaker 3: execute like you should. But they know each other and
• 25:59
  Speaker 3: I expect it's gonna be a fine ball game. I
• 26:01
  Speaker 3: think San Francisco's coming in a little beat up and
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: the Seahawks I think are pretty healthy, and so I
• 26:10
  Speaker 3: think that'll be a factor and it'll come down to
• 26:13
  Speaker 3: what normally games come down to, because they're very competitive,
• 26:16
  Speaker 3: both teams turnovers.
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: Mike, what is George Kittle's absence and not being available?
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: What does that mean for the San Francisco forty nine
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: ers in Shanahan in terms of his run blocking which
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: is a lead, his pass catching which is sensational. How
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: much of a loss is it for them?
• 26:34
  Speaker 3: That's a big deal And that's a big deal. And
• 26:37
  Speaker 3: you say, well, he is a tight end. Yeah, but
• 26:39
  Speaker 3: he's a special tight end and in their offense, the
• 26:42
  Speaker 3: tight end is used a lot more than a lot
• 26:44
  Speaker 3: of teams, and so no, he that that is a
• 26:48
  Speaker 3: big deal And that's what I mean. Yeah, I mean
• 26:49
  Speaker 3: they're you know, they lost their two best players on defense.
• 26:52
  Speaker 4: They they they.
• 26:54
  Speaker 3: They've managed to give credit to Kyle Shanahan how he's
• 26:57
  Speaker 3: got through this season after lose sing those special players.
• 27:01
  Speaker 3: That's really something that says something about the coach. But
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: now Kittle, that's a tough one because that he's he
• 27:07
  Speaker 3: was a big part of their offense and a very
• 27:10
  Speaker 3: clutch guy. He make the play, make the catch when
• 27:13
  Speaker 3: it was needed. So, uh, that's going to hurt him.
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: Does your would your play calling change? Do you just
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: take some plays out? Do you think? I mean they've
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: got other tight ends toan just is coming will come
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: in and so forth, and you know, are you can
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: I mean, I think you check. We saw we talked
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: about it with you a little bit on Monday. They
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: can use use check in some of those roles. How
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: much does the play calling change for Kyle Shanahan, Well, I.
• 27:39
  Speaker 4: Think it changes a little bit.
• 27:40
  Speaker 3: You know, he probably, like I always had, he probably
• 27:43
  Speaker 3: had a little part of on his on his ready
• 27:46
  Speaker 3: list there on his play selection list of George Kittle plays.
• 27:50
  Speaker 3: You know, I don't know he did this, but I
• 27:51
  Speaker 3: used to do it, and so you know you don't
• 27:54
  Speaker 3: have him anymore, and so can this backup tight end
• 27:58
  Speaker 3: do the same things? Can't you do the same things offensively,
• 28:02
  Speaker 3: you probably not, but to completely eliminate calls to the
• 28:06
  Speaker 3: tight end or having be a part of the passing game,
• 28:09
  Speaker 3: I think you still have to do that. But like
• 28:12
  Speaker 3: Hughes said, you know, the fullback now gets involved more
• 28:15
  Speaker 3: in the passing game, and you saw it last week.
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: Mike Hongrin with us for a few more moments first,
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: or the opportunity for Sam Donald to get that playoff win?
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: What would what would Mike Holmbrins, what would your conversations
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: be like this week with Sam Donald? We all know,
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: everyone knows there's there's gonna be a massive focus in
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: on this guy. And you know, brock Purty has won
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: a bunch of playoff games before. He played not very
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: well for a good chunk of the game last Sunday,
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: still had a the wherewithal to lead the game winning
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: drive at the end and has done that a number
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: of times and doesn't seem to be phased. You know,
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: we're waiting to see what Donald's you know, what Donald
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: will do in this set, in this setting. You know,
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: if you're in those meeting rooms, you're having a meeting,
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: you're the quarterback guy, You're the guru. Mike, what would
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: you be telling Sam Donald about this game this week.
• 29:01
  Speaker 3: I did just prepare like you've been preparing all season.
• 29:04
  Speaker 3: You got us here, you got us here. And the
• 29:08
  Speaker 3: sad part about this thing in is that if and
• 29:11
  Speaker 3: I think they're gonna win the super Bowl, but if
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: they weren't going, if they don't win the super Bowl,
• 29:16
  Speaker 3: people probably point at Sam and say something, But the
• 29:20
  Speaker 3: fact is not many quarterbacks get you there in history. Yes,
• 29:24
  Speaker 3: and so you know, everyone back away. You know, he's
• 29:27
  Speaker 3: done a great job. And I would tell him that.
• 29:30
  Speaker 3: I said, yeah, but we're not done yet. We're not
• 29:32
  Speaker 3: done yet. But hey, you're my man.
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: It's it's just that position is just fascinating, isn't it.
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: I Mean, listen, we all love Matt Hasselback. He got
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: you to a super Bowl. He didn't win a super Bowl,
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: but he got you there. He also lost a lot
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: of playoff games, you know, before and after that as well.
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: No one ever, and this is I'm just talking about
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: our time, no one ever criticized Matt right like. It
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: was never like, oh, Matt can't win the big One
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: or Matt can't do this. You know, Matt did what
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: he could do right, and a really good quarterback. He's
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: a Ring of Honor guy. He went in with Mike Hombrian.
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: It's awesome. The Darnold thing. Maybe it's because of draft position,
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: I guess that's what it is. But I mean, to me,
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: his legacy is already pretty solid in Seattle. Mike, he
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: led this team to the highest scoring offense ever and
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: that was before they even got I think to seventeen games.
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: Is after sixteen and Mike, he did that over a
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: team in your team that had the MVP on offense
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: in two thousand and five. So I mean, that's to me,
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: he's already done a hell of a job here.
• 30:32
  Speaker 3: He really has. He really I'm glad you said that
• 30:35
  Speaker 3: because people listen to you. I'm glad you said that
• 30:39
  Speaker 3: because he has done a great job. And whatever happens
• 30:43
  Speaker 3: moving forward right now, don't no one, no one can,
• 30:46
  Speaker 3: to me, can discount what he's done. He has really
• 30:49
  Speaker 3: done and it's his Risterrier, you know. And so listen,
• 30:54
  Speaker 3: there's there's a lot of sunshine in the future too
• 30:58
  Speaker 3: with this ball club.
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: I think you know, you said some about Super Bowls,
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: like just getting there is good, like right, like I mean,
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: just getting there and it was interesting to see. If
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: we just talked about the coaches and start Tomlin and
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: Harball each with one Super Bowl. Aaron Rodgers may be done.
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: He won just one Super Bowl, right, Dan Marino never
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: won a Super Bowl. Like It's like, if that's the
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: bar that we're judging people by, then that's tough. I
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: think though. For Sam, I do think it's important and
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: I think it would be huge get a win on Saturday,
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: get that playoff win under your belt, and then move
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: on to the I do think Mike there has to
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: be he's got to be feeling a ton of pressure inside,
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: no matter what Mike McDonald says to him.
• 31:38
  Speaker 4: Yeah, well I think he is. He strikes.
• 31:40
  Speaker 3: I haven't talked to him yet. I look forward to
• 31:43
  Speaker 3: meeting him and talking with him a little bit. I
• 31:45
  Speaker 3: think that first of all, you played the position. There
• 31:48
  Speaker 3: is an amount of pressure you put on yourself. Every
• 31:51
  Speaker 3: quarterback I've ever coached, you know, has has handled that
• 31:54
  Speaker 3: a certain way. Steve Young a lot of pressure and
• 31:58
  Speaker 3: he if he got he had to deal with that.
• 32:01
  Speaker 3: Matt was a little bit like that too. Montana, No,
• 32:05
  Speaker 3: there was pressure there, but he just he seemed to
• 32:08
  Speaker 3: just go with the flow and far all he cared
• 32:12
  Speaker 3: about was what we were having for a meal Saturday night,
• 32:16
  Speaker 3: you know. So I had all different types of guys,
• 32:20
  Speaker 3: but the position itself. Your team usually wins or loses
• 32:26
  Speaker 3: by how you play. And there are other great players,
• 32:30
  Speaker 3: there are other you know, there are other great players
• 32:32
  Speaker 3: that contribute, There's no question about it. But you need
• 32:35
  Speaker 3: to have that guy throwing for you. And so I
• 32:38
  Speaker 3: think he's going to put pressure on himself because that's natural.
• 32:41
  Speaker 3: And then it would be my job, or Mike's job,
• 32:44
  Speaker 3: or the KBX job to take some of the pressure.
• 32:48
  Speaker 3: We'll leave him of some of that pressure by how
• 32:49
  Speaker 3: you handle him, how you talk to him.
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: Safe to say, if they get that running game going again,
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: that'll take a lot of the pressure off, especially if
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: they get it going early.
• 32:56
  Speaker 3: Absolutely absolutely, and it's that should be a big part
• 33:00
  Speaker 3: of that game.
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: I gotta go back to Matt for a second. I
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: just because Donald and Purty to me are somewhat similar.
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: Like you watch him like Purty was unfazed when he
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: threw those interceptions on Sunday, Like it just did. It's
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: you know, at least it outwardly, Mike, I'm sure internally
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: and the conversations you know with on the sideline were different,
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: but he doesn't exude this you know, frustration. He's not demonstrative.
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: Darnald's the same way. It's funny because Darnald gets criticized
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: for that sometimes, like, hey, god, he doesn't show any emotion,
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: is he? You know? This time? But no, he's like,
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: I kind of want my quarterback in control of his emotions.
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: You know. I think that's what hurt Geno the last
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: couple of years. You know, Gino, Gino just kind of
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: got his body language is horrible. Kyler Murray's is awful
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: in Arizona at times. We've seen that in his playoff
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: game a couple of years ago. I say that though
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: in all fun it feels like Matt was a little
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: bit of a handle, like like he got a little
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: emotional though, didn't he Like he might have been the
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: challenge for you?
• 33:58
  Speaker 4: Oh he did?
• 34:00
  Speaker 3: Kidding, you know, you know him and I love him
• 34:02
  Speaker 3: and he knows that. But we've had some funny conversations
• 34:05
  Speaker 3: since we both retired. You know, it's really kind of fun.
• 34:10
  Speaker 3: Uh But yeah, no, And I was hard on him
• 34:14
  Speaker 3: sometimes and he's very very.
• 34:17
  Speaker 4: Bright and and you know what, and he and he's tough,
• 34:21
  Speaker 4: mentally tough.
• 34:22
  Speaker 3: But the thing is that you the guys show I
• 34:24
  Speaker 3: think I think it has an effect on your teammates.
• 34:28
  Speaker 3: I believe that that if you get pretty as an example,
• 34:31
  Speaker 3: if he can go to the sideline, Okay, I screwed up,
• 34:34
  Speaker 3: but he's he's not. He down inside, down inside. They
• 34:39
  Speaker 3: all feel bad and they they're mad, and they're they
• 34:41
  Speaker 3: could explode, but they he doesn't do that. He won't
• 34:45
  Speaker 3: let himself do that. And as a result, I think
• 34:48
  Speaker 3: your teammates, they they they don't react in an odd
• 34:53
  Speaker 3: way towards you. You know, they know, they know. Your
• 34:56
  Speaker 3: teammates know how you're wired, you know, and and what
• 35:00
  Speaker 3: he says to them, you don't have to show it
• 35:02
  Speaker 3: out to the fans and to everybody they know. So
• 35:06
  Speaker 3: I think that helps. I think that helps a quarterback
• 35:08
  Speaker 3: if you can handle it that way.
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: I mean, I'm rooting for the Seahawks. It's my hometown team.
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: I'm really rooting for Sam Donald on Sunday, Mike or Saturday.
• 35:15
  Speaker 2: I'm really a me too guy. I just I'm so
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: listening to people nationally just riped this guy one into
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: the other. I everything I've I've only dealt with him
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: a couple of times, you know, one on one, but
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: those dealings have been really pleasant. I like the guy.
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: I like what he is, I like what he stands for.
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: I think he's he's overcome a lot. If you coach,
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: if you play quarterback for the New York Jets and
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: your name's not Joe Amoth or Mike holmgrean, you've overcome
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: a lot in your world. So I think it's I'm
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: rooting for this guy. Man, I'm rooting for this guy
• 35:41
  Speaker 2: on Saturday too. All right, thanks you. You will be
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: with Softy and Dick Faine tomorrow, I'm told. Is that correct?
• 35:47
  Speaker 4: Yes? I am. Yes, Sam, going a little bit early,
• 35:50
  Speaker 4: but I'm.
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: There, okay, are you okay? Well listen, enjoy that. God
• 35:53
  Speaker 2: speed with you with that as well, and hopefully we'll
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: be talking next week about an NFC Championship game.
• 35:58

  Speaker 2: with the team. Every played, Schwartz played, so everyone's back
• 38:23
  Speaker 2: up front. So they're gonna have some challenges in terms
• 38:25
  Speaker 2: of who sits out tonight, which is a good thing,
• 38:27
  Speaker 2: good problem to have. Kracking New Jersey coming up three three,
• 38:29

  Speaker 2: real fast. That's your daily power played brought to aout. Yes, Quahankada.
• 38:36
  Speaker 2: I didn't get a chance to mention this earlier, and
• 38:39
  Speaker 2: I don't want to let this go away because I
• 38:41
  Speaker 2: don't want to be that guy. I think it's a
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: hell of an honor. Chris Peterson was voted today to
• 38:47
  Speaker 2: the College Football Hall of Fame along with Olden Cruits
• 38:50
  Speaker 2: from Washington the Center. Hopefully he won't punch anybody in
• 38:52
  Speaker 2: the way into the but you know, let's let's give
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: our let's give our bouquets and or flowers toss and
• 38:59
  Speaker 2: Chris Peterson's way. Over his coaching career fourteen years, won
• 39:03
  Speaker 2: forty seven and thirty eight, record a seven ninety five
• 39:08
  Speaker 2: winning percentage over those years, he was seven and six
• 39:11
  Speaker 2: in bowl games. Really kind of set the tone for
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: what it was all about at Boise State and took
• 39:18
  Speaker 2: that program to another level. Was already on the uptick,
• 39:21
  Speaker 2: but he took it starting in two thousand and six
• 39:24
  Speaker 2: to another level. There's no doubt about that. Eight years
• 39:26
  Speaker 2: at Boise State, ninety two to twelve during that time
• 39:29
  Speaker 2: at Poise State, and eight eighty five winning percentage during
• 39:33
  Speaker 2: his time at Poise State. Let's say that again, eight
• 39:37
  Speaker 2: eighty five winning percentage at Boise State. During his time
• 39:41
  Speaker 2: with the Broncos over eight years. He spent less time
• 39:43
  Speaker 2: at Washington it's still an impressive time. Eighty one games,
• 39:46
  Speaker 2: fifty five and twenty six, he was six seventy nine
• 39:48
  Speaker 2: winning percentage for Washington. Of course got them to that
• 39:52
  Speaker 2: college football playoff game as well, and it remarkable, I
• 39:58
  Speaker 2: mean absolutely remarkable what Chris Peterson did in his career,
• 40:00
  Speaker 2: and also I think more than anything was and this
• 40:05
  Speaker 2: is probably not coaching anymore, and I put him in
• 40:07
  Speaker 2: the category he didn't win a national championship like Tony
• 40:10
  Speaker 2: Bennett did, but I think there's some Tony Bennett in
• 40:12
  Speaker 2: him and just didn't want to deal with it. Jay
• 40:16
  Speaker 2: Wright the same way basketball coach. I just I'm done
• 40:19
  Speaker 2: this where we're at with college football and Softy I
• 40:23
  Speaker 2: think is going to have him on next week and
• 40:26
  Speaker 2: I'm sure he'll talk to him about it. I don't think.
• 40:28
  Speaker 2: I'm sure Chris Peterson, and I don't want to put
• 40:30
  Speaker 2: words in his mouth, and I don't not have time
• 40:33
  Speaker 2: to look at a quote or anything, but I'm sure
• 40:35
  Speaker 2: he's fine with players getting paid, but just how the
• 40:38
  Speaker 2: business is working now. Chris Peterson always kind always kind
• 40:42
  Speaker 2: of felt with him, he kind of had this, He
• 40:44
  Speaker 2: had a level of respect that I think a lot
• 40:50
  Speaker 2: of people don't have for the sport anymore. But I
• 40:52
  Speaker 2: think Chris Peterson's who he was as a person to
• 40:57
  Speaker 2: me screams hall of Fame, much less the fact that
• 40:59
  Speaker 2: I just went through his record, which makes him a
• 41:01
  Speaker 2: Hall of Famer. Hopefully the Pirate gets in there someday.
• 41:04
  Speaker 2: They've got to change and they've got it tinkered a
• 41:07
  Speaker 2: little bit. He's like point one off or whatever, the
• 41:10
  Speaker 2: winning percentage like, it's just it's stupid, not the day
• 41:16
  Speaker 2: to get into it. But i'd like to see might
• 41:17
  Speaker 2: get in there at some point as well. But congratulations
• 41:19
  Speaker 2: to Chris Peterson. Certainly will deserve getting into college Football
• 41:22
  Speaker 2: Hall of Fame, all right, Softian Fat.
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: Coming up next to him for the mild mannered and
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: marginally objectionable Invernesse. This is Padel Day saying so long everyone,
