• 1:45
  Speaker 3: tapcare coming up in a matter of moments as we
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: get started. But let me get started with us just quickly,
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: just quickly. I just want to ask you something. When
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: you go to a Barnes and Noble, don't you think
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: that it's sort of a library the or library rules.
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: Yes, whenever they're books are yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah that's what I thought. Thank you, thank you.
• 2:03
  Speaker 6: You go to one where people were being all ruckus
• 2:05
  Speaker 6: like it was a party.
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: I go every Tuesday, and it has turned into a
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: madhouse now and I'm going there to work, and I
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: know I should just take headsets, and I'm going to
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: do that next week and solve the whole thing. But
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: you wouldn't believe how many young people now go to
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: the bookstore. I didn't even know they'd heard of books. Yeah,
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: and so groups of young people everywhere, just chaos. And
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: then last night and here's the other thing I want
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: to ask you, because you two are parents, there are
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: a few things I sympathize more for than a parent
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: with a baby crying on an airplane. Yeah, most people
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: are angry with that person.
• 2:42
  Speaker 6: Nothing you can do about it.
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: There's nothing they can do about it, and they can't escape,
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: there's no place they can go. And I actually, even
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: though it is annoying to have noise that you're not making,
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: filling up and taking away from your displeasure of flying,
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: you know, still I have a lot of sympathy for
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: people that can't get their baby to stop crying. But
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: when you're in a public place like a Barnes and Noble,
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: just having a coffee in the cafeteria, can't you just
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: take your baby out?
• 3:16
  Speaker 6: You can just walk outside.
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: Do you just have to sit there, because damn it,
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: you've earned this cup of coffee and just ruin everybody
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: else's quiet enjoyment. Can't you just like remove yourself and
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: maybe calm the child down over on your own? Or
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: Am I being unreasonable because I can't relate? I don't
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: think it's unreasonable.
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: I mean, I guess, yeah, you just take them outside,
• 3:39
  Speaker 4: right if it's whether it's not an issue, because otherwise
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: you can't take them anywhere else. Then you're just impacting
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: people somewhere else. But to take them outside for sure.
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: Well, if you're in a group of crowded people and
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: a crowded cafeteria who are all working, I mean, there's
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: any place in the corner of the corner of the
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: bookstore is better than posing everyone else to the noise
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: your family is making.
• 4:03
  Speaker 7: Here's the thing too, though, it is half the time
• 4:05
  Speaker 7: just getting up and kind of moving around with your
• 4:09
  Speaker 7: kid can calm them down. So make the attempt at
• 4:11
  Speaker 7: least to get up and kind of bounce them and
• 4:15
  Speaker 7: walk around a little bit. I mean I whenever Palmer
• 4:18
  Speaker 7: did that, I was more of I would run out
• 4:20
  Speaker 7: of a restaurant or wherever you were and like hang
• 4:22
  Speaker 7: out outside and calm her down and then come back.
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah, because you can. Yeah, on an airplane, you know,
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: we need to stop being angry at the baby and
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: the mom and the dad that can't get the baby
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: to quiet on an airplane because.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: They're making an effort.
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Yeah, but forty five minutes at a crowded cafe
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: inside a bookstore, I don't want to hear your your
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: two children yelling and crying for forty minutes and all
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: you do in return is for forty five minutes.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: No, yeah, no, that's that's absurd, unacceptable.
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: But OK, it wasn't just me.
• 4:59
  Speaker 6: Can I have one add on for Yeah?
• 5:01
  Speaker 7: Yes, when you're when you're infant or your you know,
• 5:04
  Speaker 7: baby is crying, I sympathize with you as well when
• 5:07
  Speaker 7: your kid is kicking the back of the seats, and
• 5:10
  Speaker 7: I don't sympathize with you like you are still supposed
• 5:12
  Speaker 7: to make sure your child is well behaved.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: Yes, yes, especially when they can control.
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: Well, you still have adults that kick the back of this.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: Not good no, getting all riled up.
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah, let's list them off. Yeah, let's list them off.
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: If we didn't have better things to discuss today, we
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: spend four hours calling you people out.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: Just talking about what crappy parents you.
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: Are exactly huh. Nothing anyone likes more yeah than hearing
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: a man without children calling out parents.
• 5:45
  Speaker 6: I think everybody is really excited about it.
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: They are calling their friends. You got to listen to
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: this guy. He is spot on.
• 5:52
  Speaker 7: He knows although they probably are thinking like yeah, but
• 5:56
  Speaker 7: I can't say anything.
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: Uh. Well, good morning, Welcome into the and yes, we
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: will spend most of our day and most of our
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: week talking Seahawks and Rams and look, I get this.
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: I'm going to tie this in. I'm going to do
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: a professional, smooth transition here. I get it. Here in Seattle,
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: we probably like our quarterback a lot more than everybody
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: else does. That's fair, you know what I mean. Yeah,
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: he can probably scream on the plane and we'll be
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: very patient with him.
• 6:26
  Speaker 6: We'll just sit there.
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah, he can throw a fit at
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: the bookstore and we'll still probably like, hey.
• 6:34
  Speaker 6: Just pat him on the head. It's okay, buddy, that's
• 6:36
  Speaker 6: our baby. It's okay, buddy.
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: So yeah, maybe here in Seattle that maybe we have
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: a little more runway for a guy that led us
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: to the number one seed in the NFC fourteen wins
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: on the season, is going to the Pro Bowl, and
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: not just because of the fan vote, is going to
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: the Pro Bowl as the second highest vote getter at
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: the quarterback position in the NFC, behind only Matt Stafford.
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: Maybe we do have a little soft place in our
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: heart for our ginger Number fourteen, Sam Donald. All right,
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: so maybe we do, But we also have watched this
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: team play every game so far this season, So maybe
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: we do have a little more insight than what the
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: national talking heads have in this particular area. And yesterday,
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: and I think you ought to brace yourself. Whether it's
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: three four more days of this leading up to the
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: NFC Conference Championship game, or whether we have two and
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: a half more weeks of this. Sam Donald could go
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: out against the Rams and score throw five touchdown passes
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: and we could win thirty five to seven. And I'm
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: telling you, they are not switching off their conversation. And
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: I just chalk it up to just complete laziness. I
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: really do. Yeah, They're not going to switch off their
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: conversation about whether or not Sam Donald's a good enough
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: quarterback to lead the seahawk past the Rams or past
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: whoever we might play in the Super Bowl. It's stuck
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: in their heads. They all have the they all have
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: internet access, so they have the ability to go to
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: a stat site and see that Sam Donald, Oh that's
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: a lot more interceptions than what I thought he threw
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: this past year. Oh and the fumbles, Oh my, what
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: a liability. But I mean it was all day again yesterday,
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: just Sam Darnald criticism and whether or not he's going
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: to keep the Sea Hawks from achieving anything this year.
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: He's already achieved something this year. If he loses to
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: the Rams, it's not the end of the world. It's
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: not an indictment on Sam Darnald. They're a great team
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: with a great coach and a great quarterback themselves. But
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: I mean, it is just it's kind of mind blowing.
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: It's not just like a frustrating thing. It's kind of
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: mind blowing that this narrative is being shared from coast
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: to coast. People continuing question Sam Darnold for goodness sake
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: as the leader of the Seattle Seahawks, he's been outstanding
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: for us and we can't wait to go to war
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: with him on Sunday.
• 9:10
  Speaker 4: Why I would have our time thinking anybody that matters, so,
• 9:13
  Speaker 4: anybody in the side of the organization, anybody that needs
• 9:16
  Speaker 4: to believe in him, you know, his teammates, none of
• 9:19
  Speaker 4: them have that right, So that's first and foremost I think.
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: But yeah, you're right.
• 9:23
  Speaker 4: I think there's laziness to the idea of if you
• 9:25
  Speaker 4: look at you know, I think Drake May has got
• 9:28
  Speaker 4: like thirty one touchdowns to eight interceptions, whereas Sam has
• 9:32
  Speaker 4: twenty five to fifteen. Okay, yeah, it doesn't look right,
• 9:36
  Speaker 4: but they're not all the same, like you to some degree,
• 9:40
  Speaker 4: part of the big place. I mean, Hughes been saying it,
• 9:42
  Speaker 4: You've been saying it. You know, a lot of people
• 9:44
  Speaker 4: say it. The idea of at times putting the ball
• 9:48
  Speaker 4: at risk to because the reward is great is part
• 9:52
  Speaker 4: of football. And we've seen this this offense. I mean,
• 9:55
  Speaker 4: I don't remember what that stat was, but I mean,
• 9:57
  Speaker 4: of the entire NFL this year, like thirty plus point halves,
• 10:02
  Speaker 4: there's been five or six of them, and five out
• 10:05
  Speaker 4: of the six are the Seahawks. Meaning so far this
• 10:09
  Speaker 4: season or this I shouldn't say so far, this season's
• 10:11
  Speaker 4: almost over. This season. The most potent explosive offense is
• 10:17
  Speaker 4: not the Matt Stafford and Rams. The one that can
• 10:21
  Speaker 4: go bang bang and put up big points in a
• 10:24
  Speaker 4: short amount of time has been this Seahawks offense. Well
• 10:26
  Speaker 4: what comes with that at times is that big play
• 10:29
  Speaker 4: you're looking for gets tipped or gets blocked or gets intercepted.
• 10:34
  Speaker 4: I've said it, and I'll stand on this. I think
• 10:37
  Speaker 4: that the idea of not holding onto the ball in
• 10:39
  Speaker 4: the pocket, there's been multiple fumbles that he's had that
• 10:43
  Speaker 4: are you just are not recognizing the pockets collapsing. You
• 10:47
  Speaker 4: need to have two hands on the ball, a little
• 10:49
  Speaker 4: bit careless with how you're protecting it. But there's other
• 10:52
  Speaker 4: ones that you can't help. But you're getting ready to
• 10:54
  Speaker 4: throw and a guy hit your arm. Everybody fumbles. It
• 10:57
  Speaker 4: doesn't matter if you're Ben.
• 10:58
  Speaker 6: Roth, but it hurts. Yeah, always going to be.
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: Yes, sure.
• 11:04
  Speaker 4: And then so I mean to me, it's I think
• 11:06
  Speaker 4: that it is the old school. Your first impression of
• 11:09
  Speaker 4: the guy was what he was with the Jets, and
• 11:11
  Speaker 4: it was a it was and then and then so
• 11:13
  Speaker 4: it's like, well he wasn't good there. Well, if you
• 11:16
  Speaker 4: can't give a guy a second chance, obviously NFL teams
• 11:19
  Speaker 4: gave him a second chance.
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: He had to earn it. It wasn't he went to.
• 11:22
  Speaker 4: Carolina and didn't necessarily, you know, take the world by
• 11:25
  Speaker 4: fire there, and so then he became a backup. And
• 11:28
  Speaker 4: then he basically got his opportunity because of an injury
• 11:32
  Speaker 4: with the Minnesota Vikings and had an awesome season, but
• 11:36
  Speaker 4: that ended with a poor showing in the playoffs, and
• 11:40
  Speaker 4: so everybody's like, well, that's just same guy that we
• 11:43
  Speaker 4: saw with the Jets. It's like, how so the majority
• 11:45
  Speaker 4: of a season where he leads him to fourteen wins
• 11:47
  Speaker 4: or whatever it was, that you're going to go by
• 11:50
  Speaker 4: the wayside. When he's harassed and has nine gets sacked
• 11:53
  Speaker 4: nine times in the playoffs, you're gonna say.
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: That's who he really is. Yeah.
• 11:56
  Speaker 4: So then the Seahawks, obviously, thank god, they don't think
• 11:59
  Speaker 4: that way because they're like, no, we would rather have
• 12:02
  Speaker 4: him than Gino. They bring him in, he leads them
• 12:05
  Speaker 4: to fourteen wins in the regular season, the number one overall,
• 12:08
  Speaker 4: and they're riding this happy train all the way to
• 12:12
  Speaker 4: the NFC Championship game and possibly would be a happy train.
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it is a happy train train. Yeah, happy trains
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: are good.
• 12:17
  Speaker 4: And yet there's a lot of people, let's be realistic,
• 12:19
  Speaker 4: they're sports fandom, or they're they're doing this job, they
• 12:24
  Speaker 4: just can't wait to jump off the happy train and
• 12:26
  Speaker 4: they want to rip everybody else off of the happy
• 12:28
  Speaker 4: train while they're standing on the sidelines.
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: I just think it's a lazy national narrative. I think
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: they haven't watched enough Seahawks football and they're just grabbing
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: low hanging fruit. I think that's what's happening. And so
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: for us, unless you are a Sam Darnold basher yourself,
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: even though you're a Seahawk fan, for us, is gonna
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: get really annoying if we have to hear this, because
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: the conversation is just gonna keep going, right, We're gonna
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: hear more and more and more and more and more
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: about our team from an outside perspective. If they win
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: on Sunday, we're gonna have two and a half more
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: weeks of this. So I just think it's a lazy
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: national narrative, and I think you hit up on something there, Bucky.
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: Can we just, you know, collectively, as a human race,
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: just go ahead and say Sam Darnold was not ready
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: for the National Football League to be a star right
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: out of the chute, that he probably went to a
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: really bad organization that didn't help him much, and that
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: sometimes guys have to go through some trials and tribulations
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: to find their niche, to find their groove as professional athletes,
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: that maybe you do have to get knocked down a
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: little bit and study and actually be in the background
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: to figure out some things about how to play the position,
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: how to be a leader, how to be a champion,
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: And even if you do lead a team with your
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: first opportunity to start in a number of years to
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: fourteen wins and put up gody statistics, it might not
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: mean that you are ready to overcome shoddy pass protection
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: in a playoff game your first time out. That maybe
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: those things are all true, and that Sam Darnold is
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: still a young man and has learned and grown and
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: finally that maturity, that experience is meeting up with that
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: talent that made him the third overall pick in the
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: draft at age twenty coming out of USCA. Can we
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: maybe just arrive at the conclusion that he's pretty damn
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: good and not a liability heading into the offseason, even
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: though the low hanging fruit statistic of interceptions and fumbles
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: from his position is an easy thing to access for
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: everybody out there who has a platform and a bad opinion.
• 14:43
  Speaker 7: Well, yeah, it is very lazy. And then everyone wants
• 14:45
  Speaker 7: to point out, oh, we had four against the Rams. Okay,
• 14:47
  Speaker 7: so take away the two Rams games he had eight.
• 14:50
  Speaker 7: He had eight interceptions over the other fifteen games. I mean,
• 14:53
  Speaker 7: is it ideal?
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: No?
• 14:55
  Speaker 6: But would you be mad at that?
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: No?
• 14:58
  Speaker 7: And it's and yeah, I was more concerned with the
• 15:01
  Speaker 7: fumbles and holding onto the ball, just in those situations
• 15:04
  Speaker 7: where you're trying to make something too much happen. But
• 15:06
  Speaker 7: to your point about him going to a crappy team before,
• 15:09
  Speaker 7: well several crappy teams. Maybe now he realizes he doesn't
• 15:13
  Speaker 7: have to do everything for his team to win, whereas
• 15:16
  Speaker 7: before he was maybe trying to do a lot just
• 15:19
  Speaker 7: to get his team to try to achieve success. And
• 15:22
  Speaker 7: now he's realized, wait a minute, we're a team. We
• 15:24
  Speaker 7: all play our part. If I just play my part, right,
• 15:27
  Speaker 7: we're gonna win.
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: He was really young when he got drafted, like younger
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: than norm Yeah, and so okay, he wasn't ready to
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: take a bad team at age twenty and ride off
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: the bat lead them out of the muck. Who he wasn't?
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: He wasn't. I mean there are some that are there's
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: some that are ready. I mean, I mean yeah, I
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: mean there are some prodigies out there that hit the
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: ground running the rookie season and the National Football League.
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: It does happened, It has happened. He just wasn't one
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: of them, and the situation wasn't right for him to
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: put on a cape and be hero I mean, Josh
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: Allen struggled early in his career. Peyton Manning had a
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: terrible first season, you know, he didn't wear it though.
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: By the second season, Peyton Manning was great. By a
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: second season, Troy Aikman was great, you know, but not
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: everybody's Andrew Luck coming into the National Football League and
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: hit the ground running. So Sam Darnold wasn't one of
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: those guys. Too bad for the Jets and good deal
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: for the Seahawks. Yep, that they got him at the
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: exact time that he was ready to be that leader.
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: And so now we are the benefactors of that. And
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: to your point, Ashley, there is such a small sample
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: size this year. He does not have a RAMS problem. No,
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: And I was I was trying to say, no, I'm
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: saying to your point, I'm trying to defend your point. Yeah,
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: I get it. He does not have a RAMS issue.
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: It's two games that he's played against the Rams, and
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: he happened to have his worst game against them where
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: he threw four interceptions and by the way, brought them
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: back to victory in that game. Or no, no, no, that
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: was the one that they lost, buddy, but he brought
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: they almost went, he brought them back and had a
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: chance to win that with a field goal, and then
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: in the second time he throws two interceptions and brought
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: them back to win it. That's just not a large
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: enough sample size to think that the rams are inside
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: Sam's head they own his ginger face like that. And
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: yet that's what we're hearing all week long, and not
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: just from flapping gums talking heads NFL players who have
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: that same platform. They're the ones that I'm most angry with.
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: It's not the steven A. Smiths. I know what Steven A.
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: Smith's job is, and that is to have hot takes.
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: He's the king of hot takes. He's the king of
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: hot take Mountain. But he has professional athletes, professional football
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: players on his panel, and they're all kind of siding
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: with him at this stage. And it's you know, we're
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: just gonna to get used to it. I'm gonna have
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: to get used to it. I want to turn this
• 17:59
  Speaker 3: into a topic every day for the next you know,
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: potentially two and a half weeks. But it was I
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: thought startling that what I watched and listened and overheard
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: yesterday was another round of twenty four hours Sam Darnald's
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: not the guy conversation nationally, it's absurd.
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: Ye.
• 18:19
  Speaker 4: Yeah, well, I mean I think the nice when when
• 18:22
  Speaker 4: you end up hearing like an overarching narrative about something.
• 18:27
  Speaker 4: Typically there's just some people that just are just following
• 18:30
  Speaker 4: the crowd, right, that's what they heard, that's what they read.
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: Twitter.
• 18:33
  Speaker 4: Just my feed told me that Sam Donald's going to
• 18:36
  Speaker 4: be the cost of Seahawks the Super Bowl. Okay, well,
• 18:39
  Speaker 4: then if you don't want to do any research or
• 18:41
  Speaker 4: you don't want to have had watched enough to recognize
• 18:45
  Speaker 4: how many great throws this dudes made, how many games
• 18:49
  Speaker 4: he has he has taken to where the defense didn't
• 18:52
  Speaker 4: have to go out there and put up a three
• 18:54
  Speaker 4: spot or a six spot that you could give up fifteen,
• 18:58
  Speaker 4: you could give up twenty one and you could win
• 19:00
  Speaker 4: the game because he did enough on the offensive side.
• 19:03
  Speaker 4: There's just a lot of people, I think a lot
• 19:05
  Speaker 4: of professional athletes will they're not going to do as
• 19:08
  Speaker 4: much of the research because they just kind of feel
• 19:10
  Speaker 4: like they can just run through, run it through the
• 19:12
  Speaker 4: filter of what it was like, what I would feel like,
• 19:14
  Speaker 4: what I would feel like. I do that a bunch
• 19:16
  Speaker 4: of times. The way that I would feel is this,
• 19:19
  Speaker 4: But I think more often than not, the proof is
• 19:22
  Speaker 4: in the.
• 19:23
  Speaker 3: Details, you know.
• 19:23
  Speaker 4: I mean, what really matters is in the details of something.
• 19:27
  Speaker 4: And the most important detail is do you win when
• 19:31
  Speaker 4: your team needs you to win?
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: And that's one thing that you.
• 19:34
  Speaker 4: Can't say Sam Darnold hasn't done at least for the
• 19:37
  Speaker 4: last two years.
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: If you want to say he didn't do it in
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: New York, fine.
• 19:40
  Speaker 4: Hugh Millon yesterday was talking about how important it is
• 19:43
  Speaker 4: to how you coach, how you get coached. At twenty
• 19:47
  Speaker 4: years old, he obviously wasn't coached in a way in
• 19:49
  Speaker 4: which it worked for him, and he had to struggle
• 19:51
  Speaker 4: and then become a clipboard guy for multiple years before
• 19:54
  Speaker 4: he got another opportunity.
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: What did you do with that?
• 19:56
  Speaker 4: He didn't say, Oh, I sucked because I didn't turn
• 19:59
  Speaker 4: out in New York or Carolina. He took the bull
• 20:02
  Speaker 4: by the horns and became a Pro Bowl caliber quarterback
• 20:07
  Speaker 4: last year and again this season. And if people want
• 20:10
  Speaker 4: to stick to some narrative from seven years ago, go ahead,
• 20:14
  Speaker 4: you just look lazy.
• 20:15
  Speaker 7: Well, and the one time he said I'm seeing ghosts
• 20:18
  Speaker 7: now everyone thinks if he screws up, has a bad game.
• 20:20
  Speaker 7: He's seeing ghosts. People don't understand what the hell the
• 20:22
  Speaker 7: term means.
• 20:23
  Speaker 3: Clearly, how about respect for a guy that was did
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: have to like swallow his pride go be a backup
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: behind mister irrelevant, and then while on the job, was like, man,
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: this kid really knows his stuff. YEP. I could really
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: learn something from him or somebody that was in the
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: same quarterback room with another guy that was rejected by
• 20:44
  Speaker 3: his original team, Baker Mayfield, and they were both like
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: trying to find their way, and they are to this
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: day very good friends. Because of Sam Darnold probably think
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: it's hard for Baker to make friends, and so I
• 20:58
  Speaker 3: think that's pretty impressive that a young man could go
• 21:02
  Speaker 3: through those trials and look at it as a learning
• 21:04
  Speaker 3: and growing opportunity, no matter where the lessons came from.
• 21:08
  Speaker 3: All right, let's find out what's on tap for the
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: rest of the show. Ye, what's on tech? What's on tech?
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: All right? Conference Championship Sunday is coming up. NFC game
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: will be played first around noon Seahawks Rams at three
• 21:22
  Speaker 3: point thirty. We will spend a lot of time discussing
• 21:24
  Speaker 3: it today. Matt Hasselbeck joins us at eight o'clock college
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: football Indiana celebrates its national championship, while the rest of
• 21:31
  Speaker 3: the college show football world already looks forward to twenty
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: twenty six. They've got a Demand Williams situation at Duke.
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: Their quarterback Mensa signed a deal and he's still trying
• 21:43
  Speaker 3: to transfer to Miami and there this one doesn't look
• 21:46
  Speaker 3: like it's going to get as resolved as easily as
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: what ours did, as complicated as that was, it looks
• 21:52
  Speaker 3: like both sides are going to fight this out in court,
• 21:55
  Speaker 3: as Mensa's trying to get to Miami and Duke's trying
• 21:59
  Speaker 3: to stop him from doing so. College basketball, you dubs
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: an action tonight against an undefeated college basketball team, which
• 22:06
  Speaker 3: is something to say for a team out of the
• 22:08
  Speaker 3: Big Ten Conference on January twenty first, But that's the
• 22:11
  Speaker 3: state of the Nebraska Cornhuskers basketball program. Their ranks seventh
• 22:15
  Speaker 3: in the country and they have not lost a game
• 22:17
  Speaker 3: this year. They'll tip that at six. At six point thirty,
• 22:20
  Speaker 3: the Kraken will be taking on the New York Islanders
• 22:22
  Speaker 3: at Climate Pledge Arena. Al Kiniski's going to join us
• 22:25
  Speaker 3: at nine thirty to discuss that, and we got baseball
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: news to share with you. Which will do next? Bryce Miller,
• 22:32
  Speaker 3: Michael Arroyo and King Felix takes a big leap towards
• 22:36
  Speaker 3: the Hall of Fame. It's Chuck and Buck Sports Radio
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: ninety three point three KJRFM. Hey, good morning, Welcome into
• 23:06
  Speaker 3: the radio program. It is Chuck, Buck and Ashley. By
• 23:08
  Speaker 3: the way, your powerplay keyword this hour is friend f
• 23:13
  Speaker 3: R I E N D use this sentence, be a friend,
• 23:17
  Speaker 3: and don't be angry that I didn't mention at the
• 23:20
  Speaker 3: top of the hour. Thanks friend, Come on, buddy, be
• 23:23
  Speaker 3: a buddy, be a.
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: Power be a pal.
• 23:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but friend is what you enter at ninety three
• 23:27
  Speaker 3: three KJR dot com for your shot at one thousand
• 23:30
  Speaker 3: dollars in powerplay cash. I don't know if I am
• 23:33
  Speaker 3: legally bound to mention it at the top of the
• 23:36
  Speaker 3: hour as long as I get it every hour, but
• 23:39
  Speaker 3: I don't know about that. I will effort to get
• 23:41
  Speaker 3: it to you by seven o'clock though. First thing I'm
• 23:44
  Speaker 3: going to try to do. So your powerplay word again
• 23:47
  Speaker 3: is a friend at ninety three three KJAR dot com.
• 23:50
  Speaker 3: And we will get back into on the radio program
• 23:53
  Speaker 3: here this morning. Old sorts of seahawks talk. We got
• 23:55
  Speaker 3: Matt hasselback, we got Greg Bell coming on today. We've
• 23:59
  Speaker 3: got a lot of different angles that we're going to discuss.
• 24:01
  Speaker 3: I wasn't really anticipating talking much baseball, if any at
• 24:06
  Speaker 3: all today, and yet we have one of the most
• 24:10
  Speaker 3: legendary Mariners in the news here today. I think, in
• 24:13
  Speaker 3: a lot of circles, one of the absolute favorite Mariners
• 24:16
  Speaker 3: of all time has made a really big push in
• 24:20
  Speaker 3: the Hall of Fame voting that took place yesterday. He
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: didn't come close to getting in. You need seventy five
• 24:27
  Speaker 3: percent of the vote. He only had forty six point
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: one percent of the vote. But he also wasn't close.
• 24:33
  Speaker 3: He was a lot closer to getting in than he
• 24:35
  Speaker 3: was to being taken off the ballot, because you need
• 24:38
  Speaker 3: five percent of the vote in order to stay on
• 24:40
  Speaker 3: the ballot. So he had no fear of that going
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: into yesterday. But the leap that he took is what
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: is significant. He went from twenty percent of the vote
• 24:52
  Speaker 3: to forty six percent of the vote. And so a
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: lot of people out there think that this is the
• 24:58
  Speaker 3: type of momentum that you require. It's so silly. I mean,
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: people just automatically assume that because I am a professed
• 25:06
  Speaker 3: seamhead that I love the Hall of Fame. I can't
• 25:08
  Speaker 3: stand it. I really can't. I think it's just I mean,
• 25:11
  Speaker 3: I love the Hall of Fame, don't get me wrong,
• 25:13
  Speaker 3: but the process in which they go through is just
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: so silly that twenty six percent of the voters decided
• 25:21
  Speaker 3: Felix wasn't worthy last time, but he suddenly is this year.
• 25:26
  Speaker 3: It's pretty dumb really on its face, but he is.
• 25:29
  Speaker 3: The bottom line is he's trending in the right direction
• 25:32
  Speaker 3: to get in. Yeah.
• 25:33
  Speaker 4: I mean, it's the biggest jump from like a first
• 25:36
  Speaker 4: year to a second year since nineteen sixty seven. So
• 25:39
  Speaker 4: that's good. I At the same time, like, so a
• 25:43
  Speaker 4: bunch of you last year thought no, no, definitely.
• 25:46
  Speaker 3: Not yeah, well not even close.
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 25:49
  Speaker 4: Well, I mean I guess you can only vote yes
• 25:51
  Speaker 4: or no. I guess I just don't understand. I've I
• 25:55
  Speaker 4: read a couple of things that people were saying there
• 25:57
  Speaker 4: was a bigger influx of new voters this year who
• 26:00
  Speaker 4: may be more willing to look at the analytics. Yeah
• 26:02
  Speaker 4: that maybe more willing to I don't know, just not
• 26:07
  Speaker 4: you know, hold things the old school guys might have
• 26:09
  Speaker 4: been like one hundred and fifty wins or one hundred
• 26:11
  Speaker 4: and sixty wins. That's not good. I mean, we're Hall
• 26:15
  Speaker 4: of famers win three hundred games.
• 26:17
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 26:17
  Speaker 4: It's like, well, but he played on crap teams. I mean,
• 26:20
  Speaker 4: what do you expect. He got Felix. There's a term
• 26:23
  Speaker 4: for it. He got Felix a ton of times. And
• 26:25
  Speaker 4: so I think there's something too, Maybe there's a new
• 26:28
  Speaker 4: some new voters, maybe some of the others are starting
• 26:31
  Speaker 4: to come around to the analytics and the fact that
• 26:34
  Speaker 4: during his peak years five, six, seven, eight years, whatever
• 26:37
  Speaker 4: it is, he was the most dominant or one of
• 26:40
  Speaker 4: the most dominant, if not the most dominant pitcher in
• 26:43
  Speaker 4: the game.
• 26:43
  Speaker 3: And so I'm glad that he got a boost.
• 26:45
  Speaker 4: If it would have been heading the other direction, I
• 26:48
  Speaker 4: would have been disappointed.
• 26:49
  Speaker 3: I didn't expect him to get in.
• 26:50
  Speaker 4: To go from twenty percent to seventy five percent would
• 26:53
  Speaker 4: have been absurd.
• 26:54
  Speaker 3: Then I would have thought, well, something fishy's going on. Yeah, yeah,
• 26:57
  Speaker 3: Felix is stuff in the ballot box. Yeah, Felix, what
• 27:00
  Speaker 3: did you do hand it out to Turkey legs right
• 27:02
  Speaker 3: before the vote? I know what you're doing. That's what
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: it is. Turned their we into King's Court members.
• 27:08
  Speaker 4: But yeah, I mean it's a good sign that he's
• 27:11
  Speaker 4: heading in that direction. I think that it's I think
• 27:13
  Speaker 4: that there is some absurdities that come with the Hall
• 27:16
  Speaker 4: of Fame voting, and I think that some people slip
• 27:19
  Speaker 4: through the cracks and other people maybe get in that
• 27:22
  Speaker 4: aren't as deserving. But yeah, I'm glad that he just
• 27:25
  Speaker 4: is moving in the right direction.
• 27:26
  Speaker 3: The conflict of the listener right now that loves Felix
• 27:31
  Speaker 3: and hates analytics is really worth studying because the only
• 27:36
  Speaker 3: chance Felix was going to get in is because and
• 27:39
  Speaker 3: I mentioned this yesterday when we talked about it in
• 27:42
  Speaker 3: one last thing, he is going to be an analytics darling.
• 27:46
  Speaker 3: And it's because of all those close games that he
• 27:48
  Speaker 3: didn't win and that seven years of dominance that might
• 27:52
  Speaker 3: have been overlooked because he was tucked away in the
• 27:54
  Speaker 3: Pacific Northwest. He's going to get in because the analytics
• 27:59
  Speaker 3: nerds are going to pour over their numbers and they're
• 28:02
  Speaker 3: going to arrive at the conclusion that for a decade,
• 28:05
  Speaker 3: we don't like I mean, these analytics people don't even
• 28:09
  Speaker 3: like wins. They don't even look at it as a category.
• 28:12
  Speaker 3: It's not a value to them.
• 28:14
  Speaker 6: Wins matter.
• 28:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think they do. I do, I really think
• 28:18
  Speaker 3: they do. But that's the analytics community. So you know,
• 28:25
  Speaker 3: if you want Felix in, you're going to have to
• 28:27
  Speaker 3: rely on those people that annoy you because that's what's
• 28:31
  Speaker 3: going to bolster his chances. That's the only thing that's
• 28:33
  Speaker 3: going to give him a chance to get in. And
• 28:35
  Speaker 3: I think eventually he will. I mean, it's the same
• 28:37
  Speaker 3: thing that got Edgar in after all those years of waiting.
• 28:40
  Speaker 3: The analytics people. The influx of analytics driven voters got
• 28:46
  Speaker 3: Edgar in eventually when he really for years didn't look
• 28:50
  Speaker 3: like it was going to happen. But I think Felix
• 28:53
  Speaker 3: is going to be buoyed by those same people. And
• 28:56
  Speaker 3: as you said, you have a lot more that retire
• 28:58
  Speaker 3: and leave, and so you have younger people replacing them,
• 29:02
  Speaker 3: and odds are that those younger people rely on the
• 29:04
  Speaker 3: analytics data far more than they do over the old
• 29:08
  Speaker 3: school methods for trying to figure out who's a Hall
• 29:11
  Speaker 3: of Famer or not.
• 29:12
  Speaker 4: And unfortunately, I can pretty much guarantee that there's going
• 29:15
  Speaker 4: to come a point in time that the analytics nerds
• 29:19
  Speaker 4: will not vote someone in because the analytics didn't put
• 29:23
  Speaker 4: them in that category for them, whereas I don't understand
• 29:27
  Speaker 4: the difficulty between.
• 29:29
  Speaker 3: It goes even to the.
• 29:30
  Speaker 4: Sam Darnako, how can you not look at the entirety
• 29:34
  Speaker 4: of the thing, like loo use analytics. They weren't even
• 29:38
  Speaker 4: around when I played, so I am ignorant to really
• 29:41
  Speaker 4: the depth of them. You could throw out some of
• 29:43
  Speaker 4: these five letter stats and I don't even know what
• 29:47
  Speaker 4: the hell they're measuring. And yet I understand that there
• 29:51
  Speaker 4: is a benefit to being able to crunch these different numbers.
• 29:55
  Speaker 4: That said, there is a benefit to being able to
• 29:57
  Speaker 4: trust your eyeballs. If you are a baseball person, that
• 30:00
  Speaker 4: guy is the best player on the team, and if
• 30:02
  Speaker 4: you watch that every single day for a decade, there's
• 30:06
  Speaker 4: a chance he should get a vote, even if these
• 30:08
  Speaker 4: sabermetrics or the analytics don't. Don't yell that he's better
• 30:13
  Speaker 4: than this guy based on this number better. I so
• 30:16
  Speaker 4: to me, it's I just can we please marry them both?
• 30:19
  Speaker 4: Can you please say that, yes, Sam Darner wasn't good
• 30:21
  Speaker 4: at first, and yet he is good now? Can you
• 30:24
  Speaker 4: please say that that you know Felix doesn't have enough wins?
• 30:28
  Speaker 4: But then again, a lot of that isn't his issue.
• 30:31
  Speaker 4: And then do we have to please not go down
• 30:33
  Speaker 4: this path all the way to the end where it's like, well,
• 30:35
  Speaker 4: if if you don't have this whip number, then you
• 30:39
  Speaker 4: can't make the Hall of Fame at some point in time.
• 30:41
  Speaker 3: I don't want to hear that. Well, the other thing
• 30:42
  Speaker 3: is was great? Was he great enough for long enough?
• 30:46
  Speaker 3: You know? Because there's no doubt. I don't think there's
• 30:48
  Speaker 3: a baseball person on the planet that doesn't recognize Felix
• 30:51
  Speaker 3: Hernandez achieved greatness in his major league career and for
• 30:57
  Speaker 3: a substantial period of time. But did he do it
• 31:01
  Speaker 3: long enough? I mean, that's the other issue that I
• 31:04
  Speaker 3: have that they far more reward longevity the voters a
• 31:10
  Speaker 3: long time being really good versus a short, maybe less
• 31:16
  Speaker 3: than a decade, stint of being great. I think Hall
• 31:19
  Speaker 3: of Fame should recognize greatness. I think Don Mattingly and
• 31:23
  Speaker 3: Dale Murphy are no brainers for the Hall of Fame,
• 31:26
  Speaker 3: and yet they've gone through the entire process and are
• 31:29
  Speaker 3: still on the outside looking in. On that. Felix kind
• 31:33
  Speaker 3: of belongs in this same category. He wasn't great into
• 31:39
  Speaker 3: his thirties, and so that's usually held against him. I
• 31:43
  Speaker 3: mean Carlos Beltran. I had to look up just how
• 31:46
  Speaker 3: great Carlos Beltran's career was, and it was outstanding. But
• 31:50
  Speaker 3: I'm going to tell you right now, I never, at
• 31:53
  Speaker 3: any point in my life watching baseball, thought Carlos Beltran
• 31:57
  Speaker 3: was better than Dale Murphy or Don Mattingly. Never at
• 32:03
  Speaker 3: any time did I think that that was the case.
• 32:06
  Speaker 3: And yet cumulatively, Carlos Beltran dwarfed both of their numbers
• 32:12
  Speaker 3: throughout his career, so he was good for longer. But
• 32:16
  Speaker 3: I don't think he was ever as great as those
• 32:19
  Speaker 3: two guys were.
• 32:20
  Speaker 4: Well, I just remember him in the playoffs a couple
• 32:22
  Speaker 4: of times being like, oh my god, he was he
• 32:25
  Speaker 4: was that guy, right, he was that guy when all
• 32:27
  Speaker 4: of a sudden the lights were the brightest. And again
• 32:30
  Speaker 4: the argument of does do you a reward the accumulation
• 32:34
  Speaker 4: of stats or the greatness the peak stats when somebody.
• 32:37
  Speaker 3: Was both both?
• 32:40
  Speaker 4: And so if somebody's accumulation doesn't equal whatever measure you think,
• 32:44
  Speaker 4: then look back and think about And I'm not saying
• 32:46
  Speaker 4: one year you can't have one awesome year when it's
• 32:48
  Speaker 4: I young and.
• 32:49
  Speaker 3: Be like I should be in the Hall of Fame.
• 32:50
  Speaker 4: No, But if you were in the conversation for Hall
• 32:53
  Speaker 4: of Fame for five years, six years, seven years, but
• 32:55
  Speaker 4: you didn't accumulate great stats over the course of ten
• 32:58
  Speaker 4: twelve years, then and it's then there's a debate to
• 33:01
  Speaker 4: be had.
• 33:02
  Speaker 3: It's not.
• 33:02
  Speaker 4: But that's the problem with some of the voters. Someone
• 33:04
  Speaker 4: we like, Nope, I'm all about the accumulation of stats.
• 33:07
  Speaker 4: Others are like now, I like, really, who was the
• 33:09
  Speaker 4: greatest for their era?
• 33:12
  Speaker 3: Can we just meld the two please? I've just never
• 33:15
  Speaker 3: liked the process. I just never liked the process.
• 33:18
  Speaker 6: Get that.
• 33:18
  Speaker 3: I heard last night. I think it was Tony corn
• 33:21
  Speaker 3: Corneiser that said that, And I like Tony Corner.
• 33:24
  Speaker 6: You're going to call him to Tony Cornhole at.
• 33:26
  Speaker 3: First, Tony Cornoll buck Neelius his uncle. Yeah, he said yesterday,
• 33:31
  Speaker 3: he goes it's the only real Hall of Fame. I
• 33:33
  Speaker 3: disagree with that. I think the NFL's process is better. Yeah.
• 33:37
  Speaker 3: Now they're still leaving our guy out, and I want
• 33:39
  Speaker 3: to strangle them all.
• 33:40
  Speaker 6: A large mistake over there.
• 33:42
  Speaker 3: But major League Baseball, I think is all. I mean,
• 33:44
  Speaker 3: Pete Rose and I know Paul McCartney used to tell
• 33:47
  Speaker 3: me never drop names. But Pete Rose I considered a friend,
• 33:51
  Speaker 3: and he his theory was, either your Hall of Fame
• 33:55
  Speaker 3: or not? Should take one vote? Yeah, now, fifteen years
• 33:58
  Speaker 3: plus a veterans committee, in a in a you know,
• 34:02
  Speaker 3: analytics committee and everything else, and you know, and then
• 34:05
  Speaker 3: we got a review. If you didn't get in for
• 34:07
  Speaker 3: thirty five years and you're already dead, should you have
• 34:09
  Speaker 3: been in? I mean, he's like, either you're a Hall
• 34:11
  Speaker 3: of Famer or not. One vote yes or no. You're
• 34:14
  Speaker 3: either in or you're not. That that was his his theory.
• 34:17
  Speaker 3: You didn't get better, Felix didn't get better from last
• 34:20
  Speaker 3: year to this year, that's right, And yet his percentage
• 34:23
  Speaker 3: jumped up twenty six percent overnight. And I think it's
• 34:28
  Speaker 3: just a little bit of short sightedness, weirdness. It's like,
• 34:31
  Speaker 3: why are you voting because a guy needs to pay
• 34:34
  Speaker 3: his dues? Why does he need to suffer from me?
• 34:37
  Speaker 3: You're not a You're not a clear cut enough Hall
• 34:40
  Speaker 3: of Famer that you should be let off the hook
• 34:44
  Speaker 3: in the first decade that you're eligible. We gotta make
• 34:48
  Speaker 3: you squirm. That's the kind of Hall of Famer you. Yeah,
• 34:52
  Speaker 3: And it's just silly.
• 34:53
  Speaker 6: It is you can't take it.
• 34:55
  Speaker 3: Yeah, twenty six percent more people vote for Felix or
• 34:59
  Speaker 3: nan As this year than last year. I don't know.
• 35:02
  Speaker 3: To me he's All Famer just if I haven't cleared
• 35:04
  Speaker 3: that up. And obviously you feel you both feel the
• 35:06
  Speaker 3: exact same way. But we shall see. That was a
• 35:09
  Speaker 3: good sign yesterday, no doubt about it. All right. Coming
• 35:11
  Speaker 3: up next, back to the Seahawks and Rams. Something we
• 35:13
  Speaker 3: discussed a little bit yesterday, but it's gonna warrant conversation
• 35:17
  Speaker 3: all week long. The Zach Charbonay injury. What's it going
• 35:20
  Speaker 3: to do to Ken Walker's workload? We'll discuss Sports Radio
• 35:24
  Speaker 3: ninety three point three KJRF NFC Conference Championship game Sunday afternoon,
• 35:29
  Speaker 3: three point thirty right here in Seattle against the Los
• 35:32
  Speaker 3: Angeles Rams. We did discuss this a little bit yesterday.
• 35:36
  Speaker 3: Zach Scharbonay obviously is not going to be available for
• 35:39
  Speaker 3: the rest of the year. I mean, yeah, there's a
• 35:42
  Speaker 3: nice little cam Akers side story that could be written
• 35:46
  Speaker 3: by the local beat writers about facing his former team
• 35:49
  Speaker 3: yet another former Ram facing the Rams on a day
• 35:54
  Speaker 3: in which the trip to the Super Bowl is on
• 35:56
  Speaker 3: the line. So it's a nice little side story. But
• 36:00
  Speaker 3: I gotta be honest with you, Bucky. I mean they've been,
• 36:04
  Speaker 3: you know, coddling ken Walker and this injury all season long.
• 36:09
  Speaker 3: He has not been unleashed to the degree that other
• 36:13
  Speaker 3: starting running backs have been in terms of number of
• 36:16
  Speaker 3: carries really since he's been here, but certainly this year
• 36:20
  Speaker 3: it's a Super Bowl time, it's on the line. I'm
• 36:23
  Speaker 3: not trusting Cam Akers, I'm not trusting Velis Jones. I'm
• 36:27
  Speaker 3: not trusting Robbie Oots on a crucial third and a
• 36:32
  Speaker 3: yard and a half play late in the third quarter.
• 36:35
  Speaker 3: Every situation, every down and distance, unless ken Walker is
• 36:39
  Speaker 3: crawling off the field, he's getting the carry out of
• 36:42
  Speaker 3: the backfield for me.
• 36:43
  Speaker 4: Well, yeah, any carry that you're really hoping turns into
• 36:46
  Speaker 4: something which is everyone because every play means so much
• 36:49
  Speaker 4: in the postseason. I mean, it's he's going to need
• 36:52
  Speaker 4: a breather if you're going to continue the game plan
• 36:55
  Speaker 4: that you have had, which has been that they will
• 36:58
  Speaker 4: try to establish a run even when it's super effective.
• 37:01
  Speaker 4: They run the ball as much as anybody does. And
• 37:04
  Speaker 4: now you don't have that one b or the or
• 37:07
  Speaker 4: the number two guy to go out there and take
• 37:09
  Speaker 4: you know, anywhere from ten to fifteen plus carries that
• 37:12
  Speaker 4: Zach Charbony, So I wouldn't trust cam Akers or somebody
• 37:16
  Speaker 4: else to come in and fill that role. So I'm
• 37:19
  Speaker 4: gonna be like Ken Walker. Yes you're gonna get spelled
• 37:21
  Speaker 4: from time to time, but it's gonna be when we're
• 37:24
  Speaker 4: gonna pass probably or when you know, if it's just
• 37:28
  Speaker 4: short yardage and we are going to hand the ball
• 37:30
  Speaker 4: to Robbie Utch, or we're going to hand the ball
• 37:31
  Speaker 4: to somebody else.
• 37:33
  Speaker 3: But I'm with you.
• 37:34
  Speaker 4: It's nineteen carries is what he got last week, and
• 37:37
  Speaker 4: that was a large part because of the fact that
• 37:40
  Speaker 4: that Charbonay had gotten hurt. But that's the max amount
• 37:44
  Speaker 4: that he's gotten. One time back against Arizona, he had
• 37:47
  Speaker 4: nineteen carries. Other than that, everyone has been less than
• 37:50
  Speaker 4: that every single game, and oftentimes closer to fifteen than
• 37:54
  Speaker 4: to twenty.
• 37:55
  Speaker 3: And so I think that this is.
• 37:56
  Speaker 4: One if you are you had the game plan, we're
• 37:59
  Speaker 4: going to established a run and so we need two.
• 38:02
  Speaker 4: We need two running backs because we're going to hand
• 38:04
  Speaker 4: the ball off forty times a game and we can't
• 38:05
  Speaker 4: expect anybody to do that anymore. Then fine, that was
• 38:09
  Speaker 4: to keep him healthy. That was to keep your number
• 38:12
  Speaker 4: one guy healthy for this point in the season. You
• 38:14
  Speaker 4: got two games. If he needs to run the ball
• 38:17
  Speaker 4: twenty twenty five times each game for you to win
• 38:20
  Speaker 4: two games and hoist the Super Bowl that fifty carries
• 38:23
  Speaker 4: versus if you kept him where his normal workload is
• 38:26
  Speaker 4: at thirty is not going to make or break him.
• 38:29
  Speaker 3: I don't think. I think he's tough enough to handle.
• 38:31
  Speaker 3: Here's your opportunity. I mean, this is your I mean
• 38:33
  Speaker 3: you didn't feel like you got the opportunity to really
• 38:36
  Speaker 3: showcase what you really can be for free agency and
• 38:40
  Speaker 3: time for free agency. Well here's your chance, and it's
• 38:44
  Speaker 3: coming in the nick of time. You said, just a
• 38:47
  Speaker 3: couple of weeks ago, you're talking about Charbonnade stealing all
• 38:50
  Speaker 3: of your touchdowns. Yeah, and I think he said it
• 38:54
  Speaker 3: tongue in cheek, but I think there was some truth
• 38:56
  Speaker 3: behind what you were saying as well. I think there's
• 38:58
  Speaker 3: some a little bit of frushtra that you're not getting
• 39:01
  Speaker 3: those touchdowns. Well, here's your opportunity. I mean, you want
• 39:04
  Speaker 3: to be Sakuon Barkley. Sakwon Barkley averaged about twenty twenty
• 39:08
  Speaker 3: five touches during the regular season a year ago. When
• 39:11
  Speaker 3: it came to playoff time, he was getting it all.
• 39:14
  Speaker 3: He was getting twenty five to thirty touches a game
• 39:16
  Speaker 3: during their Super Bowl run for four straight games last year.
• 39:20
  Speaker 3: I'm not taking you off the field. Don't tap your helmet. No,
• 39:23
  Speaker 3: don't do it. Don't do it because you're not coming
• 39:26
  Speaker 3: off the field. You want to show everybody that you
• 39:29
  Speaker 3: can be Saquon Barkley. Here's your opportunity.
• 39:31
  Speaker 7: Well yeah, and that's the thing is when they had
• 39:33
  Speaker 7: sharbon ay Ann Walker, they're averaging about like thirty six
• 39:36
  Speaker 7: ish carries per game, thirty five carries per game, and
• 39:38
  Speaker 7: then you have one running back and he's going sixteen. No,
• 39:43
  Speaker 7: he needs to go more than that for sure for
• 39:44
  Speaker 7: you to have a successful run game. Although he was
• 39:46
  Speaker 7: pretty successful.
• 39:47
  Speaker 4: His average rushes per game were thirteen this year. That's
• 39:51
  Speaker 4: his average. We're going to double that. Yeah, at least
• 39:53
  Speaker 4: it's gotta be touch twenty Yeah, not necessarily care it's
• 39:56
  Speaker 4: got to be twenty twenty five.
• 39:58
  Speaker 3: I would say, including catch them ball on the backfield
• 40:01
  Speaker 3: and I don't want to hear it. I mean, you're in,
• 40:03
  Speaker 3: you're in. You look like you're in really good shape.
• 40:05
  Speaker 3: You worked out, he's got this. Yeah. I better not
• 40:07
  Speaker 3: see any helmet tapping here. Here's an energy bar, Greg
