Chuck & Buck 12-5 Hour 4: Hugh Millen's X's and O's, Mike Holmgren and Booze news! · Chuck in the Morning

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Boo's News to wrap it up, Mike Holmgren at nine
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: thirty and X's and O's with our QB one Hugh
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: Mellen starts at off this nine o'clock hour.
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: Good morning, sir, good morning.
• 0:10
  Speaker 3: How are you.
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: We're doing great. We're doing great.
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: We got a lot of great football to watch this
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: We're doing oh my goodness, Saturday and Sunday or fantastic
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: even tonight's nights. Yeah, exactly, Yeah, crack out the popcorn.
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: I asked this of Greg earlier in the hour in
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: the show, but I'm curious your thoughts. I mean, Julian
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: Love is coming back to this team, and Nick even
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: war he still seems to be like evolving into something. Yeah,
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: we haven't even seen the finished product. With DeMarcus Lawrence
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: seems to be reborn. Ernest Jones seems to be the
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: perfect fit. I mean, how much better can this defense
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: actually get than it already is?
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: It's so fun to watch.
• 0:52
  Speaker 4: You know.
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: A year ago, there was one depressing Monday morning quarterback
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: that I had. It was after the bills, and and
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: we said, well, you know, if we believe in Mike McDonald's,
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: see how he turns this thing around. Because they had
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: really struggled against the Bills defensively, and I'm not going
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: to go into the details of that. That was a
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: year ago. But then the second time was the against
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: Tampa Bay. Obviously since that was Week five. Since Week five,
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: there's been seven games. The Seahawks are number one in
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: a stat that I always thought was the most indicative
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: about the defense, points allowed per drive, because that really
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: just defines what the defense has to do, right, They're
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: number one in the NFL in points per drive. Well,
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: I let the evidence lead me, and I've run correlation
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: statistics and this new stuff we're hearing about EPA expected
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: points average, Well it added rather per play and per game. Well,
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: that has a slightly higher correlation to winning. So I'm
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: a convert, so you're gonna hear more. I'm sure you've
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: been hearing about EPA Seahawks since Week six and beyond
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: these last seven games. They're number one in the NFL
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: in defensive EPA per play, number one in defensive EPA
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: per game. And I'll put it into historical context. If
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: you take over the last seven games the EPA per play,
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: and you take the Legion of Boom their four best years,
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: the four years that they were number one in the
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: NFL in fewest points allowed in each season. If you
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: then say in each of those years twenty twelve, thirteen,
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: fourteen to fifteen, after after seven games of each of
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: those seasons, you say, well, we have a seven games,
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: and then each subsequent week we could look back at
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: our most recent seven games. Does that make sense? So right?
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: So in each year there would be ten games out
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: of this out of the sixteen where you could say,
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: how have we done in the last seven games? That
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: makes sense? So there are times four four years that's
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: forty different games where on a Sunday night we could say, hey,
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: how have we been doing over our last seven games?
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: The very best EPA over a seven game period was
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: at the last game of the twenty thirteen and the
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: Seahawks this year, their last seven is better than any
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: seven game stretch that the lob Ever had. The game
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: against the Vikings was the number one EPA defensively, obviously
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: for this year, it was higher than any EPA game
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: that the lb ever had. The best the lob had
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: was Week fourteen against a Cardinals in a fifty eight
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: to nothing win. A quarterback named John Skelton so well,
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: you might decry, well, this was against a Viking rookie quarterback.
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: Guess what the LB played against lousy quarterbacks as well?
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: And then for the season is now let's throw out
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: just since the week five, this is the entire season
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: the LOB average over four years, each game they were
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: at point zero ninety nine EPA. The Seahawks defense this
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: year point one two one about better. So what you
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: are seeing is is really uh in some ways in
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: the in the numbers that I framed, are you know,
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: a historically great defense.
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: And that's not diminishing the LOB.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: That is like, this is the highest level you can
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: reach as a defense, and and this team is matching
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: the best that the one of the best defenses of Ice.
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: Ice tell you that they're doing it, and the numbers
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: say it to unreal.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: Unreal.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: Nick emon Wori is also unreal. And the versatility that
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: he's shown is something that we were expecting in training camp,
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: but I didn't expect him to be this good this soon.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: And yet they might add another element to his game.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: He lined up I guess at defensive end for a
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: few games against the Vikings, and it's something that they
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: might be doing more frequently in the future.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: What's your take on that.
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: Well, you know, I when I heard that, I'm like,
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: wait a minute, that I've studied the tape, I don't
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: recall that. I would have recalled that. Certainly he'd lined
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: up as an outside linebacker numerous occasions. The Seahawks played
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: a lot of snaps where they're up six or seven
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: guys on the line of scrimmage, and he was one
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: of the six or seven. But just in terms of
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: an end, you know, with the hand in the ground,
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: there was times where he was kind of crouched over
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: and looks like, you know, he's just been over at
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: the waist and from a distance maybe you thought he
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: had his hand on the ground. I'll just issue this
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: challenge there there. I don't believe that there there is
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: no play in that game in the vikings where he was. Ever,
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: what offenses would describe as the opponent defensive end outside linebacker. Yes,
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: in an underfront. If you take any high school coach,
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: just who's driving around when I say on an underfront
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: that the SAM backer is on the line of scrimmage, Well,
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: that doesn't make him a defensive end. He's still the
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: SAM backer. And other fronts that I'm not going to
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: get into. But I'll issue this. Anybody who can produce
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: a picture with Nick emn Worry with his hand in
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: the ground as the defensive end against the Vikings, I'll
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: buy you a steak dinner at the met So it
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: didn't happen. So now that doesn't mean that doesn't take
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: away anything from his versatility. But but I just in
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: the instance, in the interests of accuracy, we haven't quite
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: got there. Outside linebacker. Yes, he's a nickel Sam, but
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: not not a hand in the ground defensive end, not yet.
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: There's an difference between edge rusher and defensive end. It's
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: just different. You know, you can be an edgress without
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: being a defensive end.
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean they they played, they've played a thirty
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: front on a few occasions of what's called an odd
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: a three four where you know he's an outside line
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: I'm backer and you know the uh nose tackle was
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: shaded a little bit, but you could still say that
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: was a three four front, but an odd front, but
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: but no defensive end. I'm like, huh in I would
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: have remembered that. So so I think we might be
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: getting close to that. Haven't seen it yet.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Well he's a special player. Maybe not Howie Long,
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: but he is a uh he's looking to be a
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: really special player. I mean, can you believe how good
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: he is this early in his career.
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: Well, did you see the video of him walking with
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: uh oh, some of the other safeties, but but he
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: just towers over everybody.
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: And he's just such a beautiful athlete in space. He
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: moves his hips, he just his movement, his acceleration. Uh,
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: you know he can cut. You know, you see him
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: covering tight ends. We talked yesterday about how you know
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: and and Man and Man's seahawks broke the huddle a
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: little bit earlier. Uh even worry. He just said, Okay,
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna be on the left. Whoever comes at me. Well,
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: the guy in this slot happened to be justin Jefferson
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: as well. We called man and man. Everybody just no,
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: nobody seemed to I look back, Wait, is there any
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: like hand signals? Are they trying to get out of
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: this coverage? Nope, just going to cover him, covered it,
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: gloved him up in what's called cover one Man and Man. Now,
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: the one thing I would say, have not seen that
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: that violent striking that we saw from UH from Bam
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: bam and UH and Cam Chancer, So I there there.
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: He hasn't converted his athleticism to to violence, but but
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: the fluidity, the instincts are coming in. The ability to cut,
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: you know, cover, have the length to cover tight ends,
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: the athleticism to cover the big receivers, you know, mediums
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: receivers like Justin Jefferson. He's covered little guys in the slot.
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: So yeah, he's a fun player to watch.
• 8:49
  Speaker 5: Here.
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: Melanis with us x's and o's every Friday at nine o'clock,
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: brought to you by Frost Brewed Corps Light the mountains
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: turned blue at forty two degrees. So, I mean, this
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: Atlanta team, they been bad this year. They're probably their
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: worst right now. They have a sensational player in Bijon Robinson,
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: but it's hard for me to believe that one sensational player,
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: considering all the injuries that they've had this year, is
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: going to be a match for Mike McDonald's defense here.
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think, particularly in the absence of Drake London,
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: I think that they're they're missing some firepower. But you know, look,
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: I think it's very interesting to watch Bijon Robinson, because
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: what you're going to see is the outside zone we
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: talked about yesterday. He has one hundred and fifteen outside
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: zone runs. The next closest guy is eighty has eighty six,
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: and last year he had one hundred and seventy. The
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: next closest guy was one hundred and four. And you
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: know his yards after contact on these plays. The Falcons
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: as a team are number three in the NFL, so
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: Seealw's got to tackle they. While Seattle is called run
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: play percentage the first the Falcons want to run it too.
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: There's seventh in that category. But here here's something just interesting.
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: The pistol formation with the quarterback and in shotgun but
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: a little bit closer in four yards instead of five.
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: And then Beson Robinson behind, let me give you an
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: example of the average for the NFL is four pistol
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: plays per game, actually three point seven. The second closest
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: is the Commanders with eleven snaps a game. The Falcons
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: are first with twenty seven. So bes On Robinson, he's
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: gonna run that straight. This is just kind of this
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: is actually no segment. Right Defensively, as you're preparing, you're saying,
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: Bjon Robinson's gonna line up right behind the quarterback who's
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: in a you know, a short shotgun. And then what
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: happens is obviously he can go stretch weak or he
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: can go stretch wrong, stretch left, stretch right. And his ability,
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: the way he's taught is is you're gonna make a
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: re read the the outside, whether it's a tight end
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: or whether it's an offensive tackle. If he can hook
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: that outside defender, then Jon Robinson has the explosiveness to
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: get outside. Why but if the outside, the tight end
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: or the offensive tackle cannot hook the outside defender, what's
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: called the emlos the nd man on the line of scrimmage.
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: If he cannot hook him, Robinson will read that and
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: he will continue to read from outside in the next
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: defender whether to go break in or out. He's going
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: to make his decision on his third step. He will
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: make his cut on the fifth step. That standard just
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: Terrell Davis type stuff. I've studied the tape with Robinson.
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: Every time when he makes a cut, it's on his
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: fifth step, and he's very decisive. He has great vision
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: on that. That's the challenge for Seattle, and I spend
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: a little extra time on the outside zone because we
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: talk so much about it with Clint Kubiak. Clint Kubiak
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: is probably just salivating saying, this is what I want
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: to be, not necessarily out of pistol, but the FOUC
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: and bj On Robinson, they're prowess in that outside zone
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: is somewhat what Clint Kubiak would would probably like to see.
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: So so maybe you're gonna be watching a little bit
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: of future Seahawks when you watch Robinson run this outside zone.
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: Is there anybody else, I mean, without London and without Pennix,
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: is there anybody else that worries you on the Atlanta
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: side of the ball that could give us trouble on Sunday?
• 12:23
  Speaker 5: Uh?
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: Elijah Pitts? Uh, Kyle Kyle Pitts.
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: I'm right? Yeah?
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: Was there Elijah Pitts somewhere along line? Yeah?
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think there was a defensive lineman back lie
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: and just lie and nod your head if you can't
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: really remember.
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: Okay, so pit but Pitts the tight end. You know
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: they've had trouble with with tight ends. You know, athletic guy,
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: probably a little bit of underachiever, but yeah, he can
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: he can run. You know, somebody said long ago. You
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: can put two tight ends into two categories. Those who
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: can run down the middle of a cover two in
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: those who can't. He has the athletics and the speed
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: size to get down the middle, and so so I
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: think that there's a threat there. But without London, you know,
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: I think everybody else is just kind of Pedestrius.
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: I wanted to ask you about this before we get
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: off of the topic of Michael Pennix. He recently said
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: and Raheem Morris that it got overblown and it was nonsense,
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: and he's got plenty of support. But for Michael Pennix Junior,
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: in his first full year as a starter, second year
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: in the National Football League, to cry out that he
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: doesn't really have anybody to talk to when he comes
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: off of the field about the offense, what was.
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: Your reaction to that? That comment?
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: Well, there's always in those things I say, Okay, I
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: put it into two categories, what's the truth or veracity
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: of it, what have you? What's the impact of it,
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: and then separate from that should if he said it publicly?
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: That's always my response. Yeah, So to the first question,
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: I'm surprised. I'm sure that there's somebody on that staff
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: who his on you know, on his business titles, says,
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: you know, talk to the quarterback. So that's odd, but
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: it is. Uh, look, if he if he feels that
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: he doesn't have anybody to talk to, and he's saying
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: that with any sense of regret, the Falcons have to
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: fix that right like he's there, he's their franchise quarterback.
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: And so that's a even the fact that he might
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: think that Michael Pennix is not some diva quarterback. He
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: is a quality dude. I've had conversations with him. I
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: was at a you know, he flew up from Atlanta
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: to the spring game, the Washington Spring game, and I
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: was asked it was it was a former Husky quarterback event,
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: kind of a charity thing and and and so I
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: was asked to be there, and I had long conversations
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: with not not real long, but I had a nice
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: conversation with him because I used to play for the
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: Falcons and he asked me a lot of questions and
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: and and I've had a number of conversations. I couldn't
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: be he couldn't be more delightful in my opinion. So
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: so I just don't think that guy has the wiring
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: we know him from watching the Huskies. Uh, he doesn't
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: have the type of wiring to be you know, you know,
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: you know, stirring up stuff that that isn't there. You know.
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: I will add, you know with this m c L
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: when in talking to him, I and that's not the
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: first time I have when I talked to him, I
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: feel like he's kind of small. He's kind of you know,
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: he's kind of slight. I mean, I think they listen
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: at six three. I think he's more like six two.
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: But I just I don't there's there's not a huge
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: frame there, and so he's been injury prone in the past.
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: And and uh, there is a correlation to size and endurability.
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: Who's the biggest quarterback in the league? Josh Allen, who's
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: the most durable quarterback in the league? Does Josh Allen?
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: Not to say there's one hundred percent correlation for you,
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: but but there is a correlation there. And and I'm
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: concerned for him in that regard because he's had he's
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: had those a c ls. Now this is the opposite,
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: but he had he had a couple of a cls
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: in college and now he's had in this a CL
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: on the next you know, I'm worried about his frame
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: and his durability.
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: Well, I think the other topic is the offense, and
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: I think that he's going to have an offensive head
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: coach next year. I would be stunned if the Atlanta
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: Falcons don't surround him and v Jon Robinson with more
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: of an offensive minded head coach this offseason. All right,
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: speaking of offense, the last couple of minutes of our
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: segment X is a O segment with Hugh. How do
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: you see the matchup between Sam and the Gang versus
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: the Atlanta Falcons.
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: Well, I think it's a good test because they from
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: a scheme standpoint, they do some of this, there's some
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: similarities with what the Vikings did, and there's some all
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: the things that Seattle need to clean up. They're going
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: to have somewhat of a test this Sunday that the
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: Falcons the opponent percent of pass attempts resulting in sacks.
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: I'm reading from the NFL stat portal, the Falcons are
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: third last week the percentage of defensive plays from the
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: three to four. The Vikings were number one. Well, the
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: Falcons are six in that regard the percentative of plays
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: where the defense brings five plus rushers. Okay, remember the
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: rushing problems that we saw against the Vikings. Well, the
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: Falcons are second in the NFL in that regard, so
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: they're they're gonna and and they're fourth in the use
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: of six rushers. But now here's the difference. The Falcons
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: don't like to bring a defensive back when they rush.
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: It's from their front seven. You know, in this EXAs
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: knows it, a lot of teams use the term blitz
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: to describe a general blitz a dog to describe a
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: specifically a linebacker like a dog is not a dB blitzing.
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: And so when you talk when we talk about this
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: percentage of five plus rushers being second in the NFL,
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: but they're twenty sixth in the NFL in use of
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: a dB rushing. That means all of their pressures are
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: I mean, from dogs, not secondary blitz got me and so,
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: but the percentage of plays that that result in negative
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: play for negative e p A for the offense on
• 18:17
  Speaker 3: these blitzes, the Falcons are tied with the Seattle Seahawks.
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: They are both number one in the NFL. Let me
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: repeat that again. The percentage of plays when when you
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: do bring a dB that rushing that result in a
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: negative e p A for the offense. And I just
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: read off the NFL stat Seas and Falcons are tied.
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: They're both at sixty seven percent. So there's going to
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: be some blitzing. Seattle's got to have have done their walkthroughs,
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: their meeting time to to sort out their rules. How
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: they're going to direct the center, They're going to send
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: the running back in the center to the same side. Well,
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: if they do that, then they may be vulnerable to
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: a three week but they may be able to pick
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: up what are obvious blitz whatever they're plan is. They
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: we have seen really big one week changes on the
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: defensive side of the ball. I referenced the Bills from
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: a year ago. I referenced the Buccaneers from this year
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: and by the way, but the defensive collapse against the
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: Buccaneers was worse than any defense any game the Lob
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: ever had. So but getting back to us the coaching,
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: so we've seen the change from the coaching on the
• 19:26
  Speaker 3: defensive side. Now is a great opportunity for Clint Kubiak.
• 19:30
  Speaker 3: I know that he works in conjunction with Mike McDonald, like, hey,
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: what makes sound sense because McDonald has this wonderful genius
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: way of looking at defense. So they've collaborated. Let's see
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: what they do from a plan standpoint to handle a
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: defense that has some similarities to the Falcons with what we
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: saw last week the Vikings.
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: Awesome stuff, man, Thank you very much. Enjoy all the
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: football and we'll do this.
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, you bet. I'm going to be with you
• 19:57
  Speaker 3: all right.
• 19:57

  Speaker 1: Oh every Friday, the chance to chat with the great

  Speaker 1: Mike Holmgran right here on the program. And once again,
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: no Bucky here today, so coach can finally just be
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: himself right here today.
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: Doesn't have to worry that.
• 21:01
  Speaker 6: I'm so relaxed. It's so good.
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: Well, great to have you with us.
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: I want to ask you about ball security with a quarterback,
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: because on one hand, the ratio of Sam getting hit
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: and coughing up the ball is way too high. On
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: the other hand, man, obviously quarterbacks have to approach that.
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: I mean, they they can't tuck the ball under their
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: arm like a running back and it doesn't look like
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: anything if there's anything that he's doing wrong other than
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: the fact that the stats say you're fumbling when you
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: get hit too frequently.
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: So how do you fix that?
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: How would you go about fixing that in a quarterback
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: to try to try to curb that in the future.
• 21:45
  Speaker 6: Yeah, well, actually, when you when you study it and
• 21:48
  Speaker 6: look at the film and stuff, you have to make
• 21:49
  Speaker 6: sure that you're being everyone's being honest about what's happening.
• 21:53
  Speaker 6: I mean, is it his fault? It could it have
• 21:55
  Speaker 6: been avoided by doing something else. Sometimes yet sometimes no,
• 22:01
  Speaker 6: it's it's just going to happen. But having said that,
• 22:04
  Speaker 6: if it's an issue and it's happening too much, then
• 22:08
  Speaker 6: there are drills that you do at practice and maybe
• 22:12
  Speaker 6: after practice orve before practice, whatever, where you have guys
• 22:16
  Speaker 6: with bags on either side of the quarterback when he's
• 22:18
  Speaker 6: dropping back, and then as he steps up, you're punching
• 22:22
  Speaker 6: him with the with the bags and trying to knock
• 22:23
  Speaker 6: the ball out, so he gets the feel of what
• 22:26
  Speaker 6: that's like and what he has to do to hold
• 22:29
  Speaker 6: onto the football. Other than that, Other than that, I
• 22:33
  Speaker 6: don't have an answer for you, but you can do
• 22:35
  Speaker 6: drills that that kind of get him, get him feeling
• 22:39
  Speaker 6: properly about putting the ball away.
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: And he also has the interceptions more than you'd like
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: to see from him at this point of the year.
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: And yet I don't want to change the aggression by
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: which Sam Donald's play in the position.
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: He looks like a.
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: Confident, gun slinging quarterback that almost all the time throwing
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: the right spot. So is that anything that has you
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: concerned or would your marching orders just be be you,
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: just be you?
• 23:09
  Speaker 6: Well again, you analyze the throws and if the judgment
• 23:14
  Speaker 6: is very poor and when he does it, then you've
• 23:16
  Speaker 6: got to fix that. You absolutely have to talk about
• 23:19
  Speaker 6: it and fix it. I think most of the people
• 23:22
  Speaker 6: are reacting Chuck to uh, you know, when we've talked
• 23:24
  Speaker 6: about it for a long time on the show. When
• 23:27
  Speaker 6: he threw the four interceptions, that's that's unusual. That doesn't
• 23:32
  Speaker 6: usually happen. So why did it happen? Fix that and
• 23:36
  Speaker 6: then move on. I honestly, I don't worry too much
• 23:39
  Speaker 6: about his play. I think they're very fortunate, the Seahawks
• 23:43
  Speaker 6: to have him right now as their quarterback. And as
• 23:47
  Speaker 6: he goes, that's what people, I think probably are thinking.
• 23:50
  Speaker 6: As he goes, so goes the team. Now we have
• 23:53
  Speaker 6: a great defense. But he has to play well and
• 23:56
  Speaker 6: I think he will.
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: You know, I doubt Jerry was ever held to two
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: catches in a game. Doesn't feel like he was. And
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: yet JSN having this historic season, just two catches at
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: a really difficult time getting him going last week? Is
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: this a special assignment of yours to make sure that
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: that does not happen again and we suddenly end up
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: with a trend here?
• 24:18
  Speaker 6: Absolutely, I mean you're looking at excuse me, you're looking
• 24:22
  Speaker 6: at that game? Was he open? Did did they make
• 24:27
  Speaker 6: poor reads? Should they have thrown the ball to him?
• 24:30
  Speaker 6: If that wasn't the case, If the decisions were good,
• 24:34
  Speaker 6: he just was covered, then you got to figure out
• 24:36
  Speaker 6: new ways to motion him, get him open, because if
• 24:41
  Speaker 6: he if he played for me, I would have on
• 24:44
  Speaker 6: my sheet plays for him. Not every player gets those.
• 24:50
  Speaker 6: Jerry Rice got him, Throwing sharp got them. You have
• 24:53
  Speaker 6: a special player. You have to be ready to dial
• 24:56
  Speaker 6: up his number to get him touches. And yeah, that's
• 25:00
  Speaker 6: two catches for him. With the season he's having, that's
• 25:04
  Speaker 6: very very unusual. Now, maybe the pressure got so much
• 25:08
  Speaker 6: and they couldn't handle the Vikings early and then they
• 25:11
  Speaker 6: got the big lead, so they didn't throw it as much.
• 25:14
  Speaker 6: That factors into but you got to get him his touches.
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: You're not worried at all.
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: I've heard the phrase blueprint that maybe Brian Floor has
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: shown the league the blueprint for how to slow down
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: the Seattle Seahawks offense.
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: Do you buy into that?
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: Do you have any worry that maybe some of the
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: ways that this team was operating so successfully offensively that
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: halfway through the season defensive coordinators have kind of figured
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: out what they're doing.
• 25:46
  Speaker 6: I don't think so. I don't think so. I think
• 25:48
  Speaker 6: in any particular game there might be reasons why the
• 25:52
  Speaker 6: numbers aren't what they should be. And Jinman did not
• 25:55
  Speaker 6: get his touches. They didn't throw many passes, not a
• 25:58
  Speaker 6: lot of yards. But that was one game. Generally speaking,
• 26:03
  Speaker 6: it hasn't been that way. So give Brian Floyd's credit
• 26:06
  Speaker 6: and give the Vikings credit for what they did. Uh,
• 26:09
  Speaker 6: they have a they have a very good pass rush,
• 26:12
  Speaker 6: But no, I don't. It's that's what coaching is. You
• 26:17
  Speaker 6: know someone, you have a game like that, and then
• 26:19
  Speaker 6: all of a sudden you analyze and go, Okay, that's
• 26:21
  Speaker 6: where we might have done something a little different. Now
• 26:24
  Speaker 6: we're going to do different. So it changes from week
• 26:26
  Speaker 6: to week. I don't think anyone can draw up a
• 26:29
  Speaker 6: blueprint how to stop this team.
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: Mike Homeran is with us for his normal nine to
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: thirty segment every Friday. Here on a football Friday. Kirk
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: Cousins is at a heck of a career. He does
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: not look like he still has it, and yet what
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: concerns should you have over a guy with that much experience,
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: that kind of guile, that kind of leadership that he's
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: shown over his career. US does a Kirk Cousins worry
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: you at all going into this game?
• 26:59
  Speaker 6: You know what, Chuck, I was thinking, excuse me, that
• 27:03
  Speaker 6: having him play could be a really good thing for Atlanta,
• 27:08
  Speaker 6: you know, because of the things you mentioned. Now, he's
• 27:11
  Speaker 6: not the same player he was five six years ago,
• 27:13
  Speaker 6: but he is a veteran. He knows how to play
• 27:15
  Speaker 6: the game, he knows when to deliver the ball, and
• 27:18
  Speaker 6: they've got a great running attack, so it's not all
• 27:21
  Speaker 6: on his shoulders. But you know, in some respects, having
• 27:24
  Speaker 6: a veteran quarterback come in understanding the Seahawks defense maybe
• 27:28
  Speaker 6: perhaps a little bit better than a young quarterback would,
• 27:31
  Speaker 6: even as guy is telling it his penix, you know,
• 27:35
  Speaker 6: might be a benefit to Atlanta. So I was thinking
• 27:39
  Speaker 6: that the Seahawks have to go in there and they've
• 27:40
  Speaker 6: got to play a really good, solid football game again,
• 27:43
  Speaker 6: because I think Cousins is going to play well.
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, ADB John Robinson, he's special man. If you'd have
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: had him, how many catches would you have gotten him
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: in a season, not just carrying the ball, but catching
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: the ball. He's excellent at it. I mean you didn't
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: you and Bill Walls pretty much throwing the ball the
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: running backs out of the backfield. But you know, how
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: would you have used a weapon like this guy?
• 28:07
  Speaker 6: Well, I would, I would give Bill credit. I wouldn't
• 28:10
  Speaker 6: take the credit for that, But you know, the West
• 28:13
  Speaker 6: Coast offense, that's what it was. Yea. You know, they
• 28:16
  Speaker 6: went through a stretch the forty nine ers before I
• 28:18
  Speaker 6: got there where you know, they're running game. They just
• 28:23
  Speaker 6: couldn't get it going, and so they substituted a lot
• 28:27
  Speaker 6: a number of runs for six yard throws and it
• 28:31
  Speaker 6: worked for him, and that became the West Coast offense.
• 28:34
  Speaker 6: And yeah, if you got a back Roger Craig's up
• 28:37
  Speaker 6: for the Hall of Fame this year, and he could
• 28:42
  Speaker 6: catch the ball and do all those things, and that's
• 28:45
  Speaker 6: really really a positive thing for your offense. So yeah,
• 28:49
  Speaker 6: that's another reason why this game, this game. I don't
• 28:52
  Speaker 6: think it's going to be anything like the Minnesota game
• 28:55
  Speaker 6: as far as the offense is concerned. But the Seahawks
• 28:58
  Speaker 6: have to bring it on defense.
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: And you got all the holiday stuff up, that's all
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: been done now, right, correct? Yeah?
• 29:06
  Speaker 6: We did we did the Christmas tree looks beautiful. Kathy
• 29:10
  Speaker 6: dex Ray decorates to the rest of the house, and
• 29:12
  Speaker 6: we did it appropriately when the time was right. You know,
• 29:17
  Speaker 6: you have Thanksgiving, then you do it, okay, And I'm
• 29:20
  Speaker 6: not gonna I'm not gonna dwell on that too much
• 29:22
  Speaker 6: because I think my my plea falls on deaf ears.
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: Are you one of the types that has to be
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: told by Kathy? Hey, the candy canes are for decoration.
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: Stop taking them off the tree and eating them?
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: Are you? Are you one of those ticks who I
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: used to be.
• 29:38
  Speaker 6: I'm better now, you know, but I learned my lesson.
• 29:40
  Speaker 6: How many times can he get spanked on the hand,
• 29:43
  Speaker 6: you know, for doing something like that?
• 29:46
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: Just leave them up, all right, Coach. We'll enjoy the
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: weekend and we'll talk to you on Monday.
• 29:51
  Speaker 6: All right, Chuck, Thank you?
• 29:52

• 30:09
  Speaker 1: we close out the week with booze news. I swear
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: the fantasy gods are conspiring against me here on the
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: playoff week?
• 30:24
  Speaker 7: What happened?
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: T Higgins is playing? That hurts me?
• 30:27
  Speaker 7: Oh it does.
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: Jadan Daniels is playing. That hurts me. And then our
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: stupid rule that we made.
• 30:32
  Speaker 7: Yeah, that one's killing you.
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: Where I'm going to beat somebody else by four full
• 30:36

• 30:40
  Speaker 2: What's that all about?
• 30:41
  Speaker 5: Now?
• 30:41
  Speaker 7: That rule is stupid.
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: That's a stupid rule. How did we all?
• 30:44
  Speaker 7: I will admit I was a little confused.
• 30:47
  Speaker 5: I thought the rule was going to be implemented differently
• 30:49
  Speaker 5: than it is being implemented. And I think the way
• 30:51
  Speaker 5: it is being implemented is dumb.
• 30:56
  Speaker 7: Hurting you.
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: Maybe we should change it then, Is that what you're saying?
• 30:59
  Speaker 7: Yeah to how I thought it was gonna be.
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that we should have a vote, all twelve of us,
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: and we'll all decide that there's no way we can
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: put anders in over chalk.
• 31:08
  Speaker 7: Yeah, that should be the way the vote goes.
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: Okay, all right, great, all right, I'm down. Yeah, where's
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: that petition?
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: I'll start it? Time to close out the week, and
• 31:17
