• 1:51
  Speaker 5: little scrub a dub.

• 1:56
  Speaker 1: your poofball hat has lived.
• 1:57
  Speaker 4: It has been living.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: I know how you get taco sauce on your poofball though.
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: It was actually very simple.
• 2:04
  Speaker 5: I last week, during the game, had to go home
• 2:07
  Speaker 5: at halftime to let my dog out. When I came back,
• 2:10
  Speaker 5: the third quarter was already starting. Everyone ate at halftime,
• 2:12
  Speaker 5: and so I was like, I don't care about eating.
• 2:15
  Speaker 5: I care about football. And then when I was gonna
• 2:17
  Speaker 5: go at a commercial break to eat, all the food
• 2:18
  Speaker 5: was gone, like it was all put away.
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: So I just didn't eat.
• 2:22
  Speaker 5: And then I was leaving my friend Emily you know,
• 2:24
  Speaker 5: oh yeah yeah, Emily, she was like, we got to
• 2:27
  Speaker 5: take food with you. I said, okay, I'll take yeah.
• 2:30
  Speaker 5: None games back, Emily, Yeah, you got to take some
• 2:32
  Speaker 5: food with you. I said, okay, sure, I'll take some
• 2:34
  Speaker 5: food home, so she put it in a little tupperware.
• 2:35
  Speaker 5: Sweet Sweet Emily. It wasn't closed all the way. My
• 2:38
  Speaker 5: hat was in the bag. O silled out all over
• 2:41
  Speaker 5: the bottom of the bag and I didn't realize that
• 2:44
  Speaker 5: it had gotten on there until I was walking in.
• 2:46
  Speaker 4: I was like, why is there some crustup?
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: See, I'm sitting air thinging to myself. This is very easy.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: When five Iron and I watch football, I always sit
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: on the floor in between his legs while.
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: He eats, well, he eats tacos.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what I thought going to be the end.
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: Let's go with that.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: It's probably the righting. She just fabricated.
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: This sounds better if I was going to fabricate anything.
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: I want to see it.
• 3:08
  Speaker 6: And she's sitting sitting there on the floor between his
• 3:11
  Speaker 6: legs and the big play, you're like.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: Ah, through your head back poofball and his.
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: Taco saw coacos everywhere.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: You know, you're like crusties. Yeah, he's doing his best
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: to try to keep everything on the plate. But you know,
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: you get excited, right. Sam Darnold just threw a touchdown
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: pass the Jays end in the back of the end zone.
• 3:28
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it was hurt ken Walker just had three touchdowns,
• 3:31
  Speaker 5: so many tacos everywhere.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: I mean, you're lucky. You just got salsus stains on
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: your hat.
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: Well that's all I told you about.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it could be more. I also made my first
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: shot on a Friday, left handed into the waste basket.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: Well that's things are looking up.
• 3:47
  Speaker 5: When wow over wow, Well you can talk about that
• 3:51
  Speaker 5: other game after.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: Oh, just giving the throat cut, Yeah, I can do that.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: I won't get fine, by the way, that's true. Yeah,
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: Celeb wasn't ready know. Nobody knows if I really did
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: it right. That's true of you.
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: And I won't report you.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, she won't, Bucky.
• 4:07
  Speaker 6: Not after I've supported her flag incident. I'm gonna let
• 4:10
  Speaker 6: you play. It's it's a championship Sunday or Friday. I'm
• 4:14
  Speaker 6: gonna let you play. I'm keeping a flagging. I'm gonna
• 4:16
  Speaker 6: swallow my whistle. Will you go ahead and do that?
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: See you're flying your colors this morning. Yep.
• 4:24
  Speaker 6: Yeah, it's a Bronco Friday. Oh, I also think it's
• 4:28
  Speaker 6: a Seahawks Friday.
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: It's a championship Friday.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: It's a blue Friday, regardless, both our teams in Yeah, yeah, well,
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: it's exciting. We've talked about it all week long, and
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: we've got four more hours to get you pumped, to
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: get you primed for Sunday as the Seahawks get ready
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: to take on the Los Angeles Rams. Winner goes to
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: Super Bowl sixty. Patriots take on the Broncos. Winner goes
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: to Super Bowl sixty. I've been saying this all week long.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: It's made Ashley nervous about the seahow when I say that,
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: does I make you nervous about your Broncos when I
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: put it that way?
• 5:04
  Speaker 5: No, well, I think, yeah, it doesn't make me nervous
• 5:07
  Speaker 5: when you say they're playing and the winner goes it's
• 5:10
  Speaker 5: only when we start planning for the winner to be
• 5:13
  Speaker 5: the Seahawks.
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: Okay, that's why next week's calendar is blank.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: Perfect introduction to today's first topic of discussion, because I
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: do want to gauge not just hours, but everybody's confidence
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: heading into Sunday. And I think I'm gonna make Ashley
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: knock on her forehead forty four times this second, which
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: would be a new record. The old record was three.
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: Yeah. No, that would be I would go knocking nuts.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And she wrote knock nuts but before we get
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: into the conversation, let me tell you, because obviously this
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: is more important than conference championship Sunday, please go Your
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: thousand dollars power play keyword this hour is Bank B
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: A N K. I love that, iHeart thinks that I
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: need to shove this in and stop all momentum with
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: our conversations every hour. Way to go, team Bank ninety
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: three three KJR dot com for your shot at one
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: thousand dollars. We'll give you a keyword every hour throughout
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: the course of our show and throughout our entire broadcast
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: day so that you someone one of you will win
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: one thousand dollars in powerplay cash in this nationwide contest. Well,
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: the national interest will be driven toward Seattle on Sunday
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: three thirty kickoffs Seahawks taking on the Rams. Ashley posted
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: a confidence poll yesterday after our show, so ten o
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: three am, and it's kind of existed overnight but probably
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: got buried a little bit. But that's fine. We weren't
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: even going to discuss it until this moment here today.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: But very simple, just how confident are you feeling about
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: the Seahawks versus Rams on Sunday? And you have three options.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: Very confident, confident, not confident at all. I have voted.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: I picked very confident. Wow, I pick very confident. I'm
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: very confident in this and certainly I have all the
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: respect in the world of the Rams. There's no way
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: this is ending in a thirty five point win, no
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: for the Seahawks on Sunday any I'm a firm believer
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: that anything can happen in any given day. I mean,
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: I once saw the San Francisco forty nine ers get
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: this far and have to play a running back at
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: quarterback in this game. So I mean, anything can happen
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: on any given day on an NFL Sunday or Saturday,
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: certainly a playoff game. So I'm not naive. I'm not
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: over the top with this. I get it. The Rams
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: very well could be celebrating at the end of the
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: Sunday night. But in terms of how do I dissect
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: this game, I look at the two teams, what do
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: they look like on paper? Where are they at at
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: this point in the season. I mean, it's just I
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: just really believe that the Seahawks are gonna have to
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: really fall off the cliff in order not to win
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: this game. I just think that they are rolling into
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: this game playing their very best football. They are healthy,
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: considering you know where we are at this point in
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: the season, probably healthier than just about any NFL team
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: I've seen this late in a year, and and I
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: just like the matchup for US. I mean, I think
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: that we've got a great quarterback matchup. I think we've
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: got a great head coaching matchup. The Rams are also
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: good without weakness really, but they have not been playing
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: as well here down the stretch, especially on the defensive
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: side of the ball. And I just think the Seahawks
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: are playing their absolute best right now. I don't think
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: the moment's too big for them. I think the fans
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: will help from that standpoint, that they're gonna give them
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: that boost. And so I just am very confident. I
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: think they're winning, and I think that they're gonna win
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: around by more than seven points on Sunday. So put
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: me in the very confident list. Where are you at?
• 9:06
  Speaker 6: But I would say confident and and yeah, securely there.
• 9:12
  Speaker 6: I mean, I'm nowhere near no confidence at all. But
• 9:16
  Speaker 6: I'm not really very close to very confident either. I
• 9:20
  Speaker 6: just I've seen over the course of the entire season
• 9:24
  Speaker 6: both of these teams show that they are the best
• 9:27
  Speaker 6: team in the NFL at different periods during the time,
• 9:29
  Speaker 6: and then you take their individual matchups and we've seen
• 9:33
  Speaker 6: both teams outperform the other ones. I mean definitively outperform them.
• 9:37
  Speaker 6: I mean I don't want to I don't even though.
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: They didn't win either one of the games that they
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: outperformed the other end. Well yeah, yeah, kind of yeah.
• 9:44
  Speaker 6: I mean it's the idea of, well, if Sam Darnold
• 9:49
  Speaker 6: doesn't throw four picks, then you win that game. Well yeah,
• 9:52
  Speaker 6: but he did, and and they they caught them, right,
• 9:55
  Speaker 6: I mean it's that.
• 9:56
  Speaker 4: Uh and they had that perfect punch, you know.
• 9:58
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 9:58
  Speaker 6: Matt Hassebec was saying, you just take the you catch
• 10:01
  Speaker 6: the ones that they give you.
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 10:03
  Speaker 6: Don't make a mistake. Is if a quarterback makes a
• 10:06
  Speaker 6: mistake and then you drop it or you don't pick
• 10:09
  Speaker 6: that ball off. Well, that's one thing Matt Stafford does.
• 10:12
  Speaker 6: I mean, we talk about Sam Donald, we want him
• 10:14
  Speaker 6: to rip it and fit that thing in tight windows.
• 10:17
  Speaker 6: Matt Stafford does that and at times it goes to
• 10:19
  Speaker 6: your DB's hands. And if you can take advantage of that,
• 10:24
  Speaker 6: then you get up getting turnovers. That's basically what they
• 10:27
  Speaker 6: did in that first game. So to me, it's just
• 10:29
  Speaker 6: I can see so many different ways in which both
• 10:31
  Speaker 6: teams could win it. The confidence that I have is
• 10:34
  Speaker 6: based on where they're at right now, what I've witnessed
• 10:38
  Speaker 6: as of late, and as of late, Matt Stafford doesn't
• 10:42
  Speaker 6: necessarily look like himself in his couple of playoff games.
• 10:44
  Speaker 6: He's missed some throws because he's got something going on
• 10:47
  Speaker 6: with his finger. Supposedly, Sam Donald hasn't been turning the
• 10:51
  Speaker 6: ball over and really hasn't had to really be used
• 10:54
  Speaker 6: to go out and carry the team because you'll win
• 10:57
  Speaker 6: in your one playoff game by so much against the
• 11:00
  Speaker 6: depleted Niners. It just feels like there's more ways in
• 11:04
  Speaker 6: which the Seahawks should win this game than there is
• 11:07
  Speaker 6: for the Rams at this point. So that kind of
• 11:09
  Speaker 6: leads me down the path of I would be confident
• 11:11
  Speaker 6: if I'm if I'm got a big POOFY hat on
• 11:14
  Speaker 6: a Seahawks hat, that is, if I got a big
• 11:15
  Speaker 6: POOFY Seahawks at I'm feeling pretty good heading into NFC
• 11:19
  Speaker 6: Championship Sunday.
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: All right, Ashley, here we go. What do you think?
• 11:23
  Speaker 4: I also filled out the survey very comfort Oh wow.
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, join the sixteen point two percent of the right
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: thinking people in the city.
• 11:33
  Speaker 4: We are in the minority.
• 11:34
  Speaker 5: But that's okay because I do like the majority is confident,
• 11:36
  Speaker 5: and that's okay. Not over confident, that's all right.
• 11:39
  Speaker 4: I just think, I.
• 11:40
  Speaker 5: Mean, the only thing that really has made me nervous
• 11:42
  Speaker 5: is the idea that we don't have Zach Charbonay as
• 11:45
  Speaker 5: a backup but or as a you know, a one
• 11:47
  Speaker 5: and two, because they have been running so well and
• 11:49
  Speaker 5: that was really working so well. But seeing what ken
• 11:53
  Speaker 5: Walker did last week without Zach Charbonay, I'm like, okay,
• 11:56
  Speaker 5: you know.
• 11:56
  Speaker 4: What, you go, you do it, You show us you
• 11:59
  Speaker 4: can do it.
• 12:00
  Speaker 5: Because, as we've been talking about all week, he's had
• 12:02
  Speaker 5: a easy, easier season, right, He's been held back a bit,
• 12:07
  Speaker 5: he's been splitting the carries.
• 12:08
  Speaker 4: He hasn't gotten that wear and tear.
• 12:10
  Speaker 5: So I think you've got that, You've got the defense
• 12:12
  Speaker 5: who is just beyond I mean beyond delete. They are
• 12:16
  Speaker 5: playing so so well, and this entire team plays without ego.
• 12:20
  Speaker 5: They play for each other, they play with each other,
• 12:22
  Speaker 5: and I just I don't know, I just have so
• 12:24
  Speaker 5: much confidence in a team that's like that.
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I mean, I mean, I only have ten
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: years to choose from, but I think it's, uh, it's
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: the team i've liked the most. Yeah, I mean it's
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: easy to say when you've gone sixteen and three, this
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: team I've liked the most.
• 12:41
  Speaker 4: But I also think it's the best team since.
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: I've been here. Now, I got here right.
• 12:46
  Speaker 5: After that yeah, that thing, that thing, Yeah, that's when
• 12:50
  Speaker 5: I arrived, okay.
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: Here in Seattle. So that thing at the one yard line, Yeah, no,
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: I don't. That's when I ride right after it, not
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: during it, not right.
• 12:56
  Speaker 4: Before it, Okay, right after not his father.
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: Right after it is when I arrived here in town.
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: So I didn't get to see the two best teams
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: on a snap by snap basis in Seahawks' history, So
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: I think can see those. But they're certainly the best
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: team that I've seen since I've been in town. And
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: so i'm and I think that the best team that
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: I've seen since I've been in town is playing its
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: best right now heading into this game. They have a
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: bad game, they'll lose it. Yeah, you know, bottom line,
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: you know they have a bad game, then odds are
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: there that the Rams also aren't going to play poorly
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: on Sunday. I just can't see that in the cards.
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: I just can't imagine a scenario where Mike McDonald and
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: the Seahawks don't play at least good football on Sunday.
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: What does the poll say so far? And we'll leave
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: this up throughout the course of the show, Ashley and
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: I are in the minority. There are fewer people that
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: are very confident about Sunday than are not confident at
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: all thus far. Now, we've only got a little over
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: two hundred votes at this point, so I'm sure that
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: that's going to rack up as we go for four
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: hours here today. But the very confident people, i mean,
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: it's even gone down since Ashley and I expressed are confidence.
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: So maybe there's a couple of people all those who
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: are just jinx that not confident at all. Yeah, eighteen
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: percent are not confident at all. But the lion's share
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: of people are in the boat with Bucky, a nice
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: crowded boat. There sixty six vote point four percent of
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: people are confident. So you combine the two and you
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: got eighty two percent of those that have voted are confident.
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: And I'm assuming those are all Seahawks fans are confident
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: or better, so that's a pretty good ratio. But yeah,
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: I think it is interesting that there are more that
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: are not confident at all than are very confident.
• 14:52
  Speaker 6: Like Ashley and I Well, I mean I think that
• 14:55
  Speaker 6: there's some folks. I mean, I've heard different arguments right
• 14:58
  Speaker 6: from different sides. Most of the stuff that I listen
• 15:00
  Speaker 6: to is here at our station, and a lot of
• 15:02
  Speaker 6: people that have been following the Seahawks are very confident.
• 15:05
  Speaker 6: For all the reasons you said, how well they're playing
• 15:07
  Speaker 6: right now, it does look like this team is playing,
• 15:09
  Speaker 6: like Ashley said, as one. There's that hype video that
• 15:13
  Speaker 6: they put out there where it's you know, picture yourself
• 15:17
  Speaker 6: in January, It's Championships Sunday, it's wet, it's cold, sucks.
• 15:22
  Speaker 6: It sucks for them basically, not those words, but it
• 15:25
  Speaker 6: sucks for them, not for us. And all of a sudden,
• 15:28
  Speaker 6: it's that the other team knows what they're going up against,
• 15:32
  Speaker 6: eleven that plays as one. They seem like they're a
• 15:35
  Speaker 6: team that is eleven playing as one and everybody wants
• 15:38
  Speaker 6: to be that, but not everybody is that. On the
• 15:41
  Speaker 6: flip side of it, people make the arguments about, well,
• 15:43
  Speaker 6: the Rams have been here before. Yeah, Sam Darnold's playing
• 15:45
  Speaker 6: well and he's done enough all season long. He's done
• 15:48
  Speaker 6: more than enough. Yeah, but he's done enough to lead
• 15:51
  Speaker 6: his team to the number one seed. But he hadn't
• 15:53
  Speaker 6: been in this situation before Matt Stafford has. There's there's
• 15:57
  Speaker 6: something to that if things start to unravel, how you
• 16:00
  Speaker 6: respond to that.
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: Because I think this is going.
• 16:02
  Speaker 6: To be a really hard fought game.
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: I don't think it's shouldn't be a blowout. I don't
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: think it's going to be.
• 16:09
  Speaker 6: I don't think one team's going to play so poorly
• 16:12
  Speaker 6: that the other just has to throw the ball twelve
• 16:14
  Speaker 6: times and they basically just take the air out of
• 16:16
  Speaker 6: the I don't think it's gonna be. I think it's
• 16:18
  Speaker 6: gonna be one of those everything's riding on so many
• 16:22
  Speaker 6: little different factors that that every play matters so much.
• 16:25
  Speaker 6: It just feels like it you're gonna have to go
• 16:27
  Speaker 6: take it from the other team. You're gonna have to go,
• 16:29
  Speaker 6: you know, kind of impose your will on them. And
• 16:32
  Speaker 6: it feels to me more like I would be more
• 16:34
  Speaker 6: confident if you're if I was a Seahawks fan, than
• 16:36
  Speaker 6: a Rams fan, simply because right now, the Seahawks seem
• 16:39
  Speaker 6: to be the team that is willing to sniper the
• 16:41
  Speaker 6: will of whoever steps out there on the field against them.
• 16:44
  Speaker 5: And there's a reason why most Seahawks fans didn't want
• 16:46
  Speaker 5: to see the Rams again, right, I mean, they are good,
• 16:48
  Speaker 5: and it is and the two matchups have been so
• 16:51
  Speaker 5: close and so stressful, and I do think this one
• 16:53
  Speaker 5: is going to be close score wise, but I do
• 16:56
  Speaker 5: think the Seahawks will outplay them, and I think the
• 16:59
  Speaker 5: score won't reflect how well the Seahawks played, if that
• 17:03
  Speaker 5: makes sense. Like, I think we'll win by within ten,
• 17:06
  Speaker 5: but I think the Seahawks will have outplayed them by
• 17:09
  Speaker 5: quite a bit.
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: Okay, all right, that would be my all right, Yeah,
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: I like it.
• 17:13
  Speaker 5: And I think one of the moments too, that I've
• 17:15
  Speaker 5: seen in this last week kind of is the epitome
• 17:18
  Speaker 5: of this team. Have you seen that video of Grey's
• 17:20
  Speaker 5: Abel and Leonard Williams And.
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: I've heard the story, I haven't actually seen the video.
• 17:25
  Speaker 5: Yeah, And Leonard Williams was having trouble with something and
• 17:28
  Speaker 5: great kind of on the bench just was like, hey man,
• 17:30
  Speaker 5: try this, Like notice that he's doing this every single time.
• 17:34
  Speaker 4: You just make this move, You're you're gonna get right there.
• 17:37
  Speaker 5: And it worked and Big Cat came right back and
• 17:39
  Speaker 5: I was like, yeah, man, that was great, thank you.
• 17:41
  Speaker 4: I mean, no ego, it was awesome.
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, it's fun and a fun team. Been a
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: fun season. But there is more to do, not just Sunday,
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: but hopefully beyond. Knock on your head. All right, let's
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: find out what's on tap for today's Friday Football Friday
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: showing what's on te? What's on te Seahawks Rams three
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: thirty on Sunday. Here's the lineup to break it down
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: for you today. We will have Greg Bell on at
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: seven oh five of the latest and greatest information. We'll
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: hear more from Matt Hasselbeck today in the seven o'clock
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: hour as well. Of course, Mike Holmgren will join us
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: at nine thirty. Of course, You Millan will join us
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: for x'es and o's as he has all season long
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: at nine o'clock. And we're going to be joined by
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: Michael Bennett today at eight thirty. So we will talk
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: to the Seahawk legend today, get his thoughts, find out
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: how fired up he is, and see how much he
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: still hates the Rams and Johnny Hecker, so we'll do
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: that at eight thirty this morning. That's part of the lineup.
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: Congratulations to John Schneider. I still don't know if this
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: is like the official official NFL Executive of the Year award,
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: because like every publication hands these awards out and yet
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: we only officially recognized one, and I know we haven't
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: officially recognized the official NFL MVP, So I don't know
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: if this is the official NFL Executive of the Year award,
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: But a lot of people are treating it that way
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: overnight anyway, so you know what, it shouldn't be anybody else.
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: John Schneider should run away with this. He's never won
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: the award before, so I guess I'll just follow the pack.
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: Congratulations to John Schneider. Very well deserved NFL Executive of
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: the Year and the last two years combined, I mean,
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: is not even close what John Schneider has done compared
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: to other gms, and they're in a lot of other
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: good gms over the last couple of years. But man,
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: everything he's touched has turned to gold these last two years.
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: So congratulations to him. Well deserved. AFC Championship game is
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: the first game on Sunday. It'll be at noon. It'll
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: be the Patriots at the Denver Broncos. NFL news overnight
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: the Baltimore Ravens have filled their head coaching vacancy. Will
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: be former Ravens assistant and most recently Chargers defensive coordinator,
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: the young Jesse Mentor is heading to Baltimore. We'll discuss
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: more of that coming up here in our next segment
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: because we will have a sharcoachery board for you today. Also,
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: Fernando Mendoza made it officially, has entered the NFL Draft,
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: where he is expected to be the number one pick
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: in the draft. But will it be by the Raiders.
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: I'm getting reckless at breakfast this morning. Something I just
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: can't wait. I can't wait till I can't wait till
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: next Tuesday. I'm gonna throw something by the two of you.
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: College basketball, Well, it's part of duck season this weekend.
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: We are facing them on the ice tonight and we
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: are facing them on the hardwood on Sunday. So I
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: don't know what's going on, but suddenly Seattle has entered
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: duck season here at the end of January. So Udub
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: versus Oregon and college basketball Sunday at noon Kraken versus
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: the Anaheim Mighty Ducks. Not the Mighty anymore, but you
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: get my drift. That's tonight at seven o'clock. I will
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: also tell you this, there's some people out there that
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: are floating around Shane Wright might get traded. Rumors out
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: there before the trading deadline, in a go for it
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: move from the Kraken. I wish we had some more
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: time to talk about it today, but maybe a little
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: bit of frustration with Shane Wright's lack of aggression. He
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: was supposed to take the big step forward this year.
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: So there are some people writing articles out there nationally
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: that think that maybe that could be the move for
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: a team that desperately needs a veteran star. Maybe they
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: go to a rebuilding team trade them the young Shane
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: Wright for an established star in the league. That's something
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: that started to float around out there and certainly worth
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: paying attention to. And I hope we get a chance
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: to talk a little Major League Baseball because it turns
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: out MLB Network believes the Seattle Mariners have two of
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: the best sixteen baseball players in the world right now.
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: They finish their top one hundred players right now. Rankings
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: show last night which stretched out over the entire week.
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: Julio Rodriguez the sixteenth best player according to the Pole
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: and Cal Raley the fourth best player in baseball according
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: to the poll. Only two other teams in baseball had
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: two players within the top sixteen, the Mets and the
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: Dodgers being the other two. Brendan Donovan rumors continue to
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: possibly be traded to the Seattle Mariners. Mariners are interested,
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: they have issued forth their final offer, according to reports,
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: and are just waiting on the really quiet, silent Saint
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: Louis Cardinals, who are operating in a very strange fashion
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: this entire offseason. Texas Rangers added Mackenzie Gore yesterday, so
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: a really good pitcher has been added to a division
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: rival since last we spoke. The left hander for the
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: Washington Nationals was not only their ace was a legitimate
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: All Star a year ago. And the new Stove podcast
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: is out with Anders Hurst and myself, So if you
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: want to go there and hear me taunt the Cardinals,
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: you can do that Stove podcast at ninety three to
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: three kjar dot com. Coming up next though, we'll bring
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: out the board, all sorts of tasty vitals on the
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: old Shark Coachery Today Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM,
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: even on a football Friday, even on a championship football Friday,
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: as we get you ready for Seahawks rams on Sunday.
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: We got all sorts of experts lined up to discuss it.
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: But also there's some NFL news in there worth putting
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: out on the share Coachery board here this morning, and
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: so we'll we'll dip into some of that. It starts
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: with Jesse Mentor, who is the defensive coordinator, Or was
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: a defensive coordinator of the Los Angeles Chargers and now
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: he is the head coach of the Baltimore Ravens. Used
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: to be an assistant with the Ravens. I'm really not surprised.
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: As a matter of fact, this is the one I've
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: gotten right so far. This is the one that I've nailed.
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: When I did my Reckless Bread just a couple of
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: weeks ago.
• 24:01
  Speaker 4: I thought you were crazy, Yeah did you?
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah? Okay, but yes. Baltimore Ravens, Steve Bushatti, their owner,
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: has just kind of always had this feeling about He's
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: always saying, I look for the right kind of person,
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: and so for some and all the great things said
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: about jesse Mentor, and they're an organization that doesn't just
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: want to go with some retread and kind of an
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: envision being like the Steelers and Harball was here for
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: eighteen years. Our next guy, we want to be here
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: for at least eighteen years. So you get the young,
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: talented and apparently gifted leader of men, jesse Mentor. Not
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: surprised at all that he is the head coach of
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: the Baltimore Ravens right now.
• 24:43
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean I remember when you said that, and
• 24:46
  Speaker 6: then I gave it a little Google and found out.
• 24:48
  Speaker 6: I mean, I knew where he was, I knew he
• 24:50
  Speaker 6: was with the Chargers, but I don't know much about him.
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: And yet the idea it's the Mike McDonald, Yeah, the
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: next Mike McDonald.
• 24:56
  Speaker 6: Well, and that's that's where you see a lot of
• 24:59
  Speaker 6: teams go and and understandably so when you've been kind
• 25:03
  Speaker 6: of right there where you're you're kind of scratching at
• 25:05
  Speaker 6: it a little bit and you feel like, Okay, we
• 25:07
  Speaker 6: just need something right, not a new voice, but a
• 25:10
  Speaker 6: new some new blood, so to speak, a new way
• 25:13
  Speaker 6: in which we're going to go about it, some sort
• 25:15
  Speaker 6: of injection of newness and life into the into the organization,
• 25:20
  Speaker 6: and apparently he is exactly what they've been looking for
• 25:23
  Speaker 6: when it comes to that.
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: So what does that leave Clint Kubiak, who had been
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: strongly connected, I mean just via rumors to the Baltimore Ravens.
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: Obviously he's not going to go there. Obviously, Lamar Jackson
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: talking about Clint Kubiak, that fell on deaf ears. Uh,
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: they weren't willing to wait. And my guess is they
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: kind of always had Mentors circled. It was one of
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: those don't let him leave the building situations. I guess
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: he finally got there for the interview. Uh, and then
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: they agreed to terms before he left. I mean, that's
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: even more so than what Harball and the Giants did.
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: Harball left and thought about it for a week. But Mentor,
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: I think had the idea that if they offer it,
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: I'm taking it, And I think the Ravens had the
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: idea as long as he doesn't blow this interview, we're
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: hiring him. And so Jesse Mentors now with the Ravens.
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: So where does that leave Kubiak still rumored strongly as
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: a possibility for the Buffalo Bills. Shoo. That would shock me, frankly.
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: I think the Buffalo Bills rolling the dice on a
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: first year head coach after getting rid of a very
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: good head coach who had a lot of success there
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: but couldn't get them over the top. It would feel
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: strange to me that they go with some young offensive
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: coordinator that's never been a head coach at any level
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: to be the guy that gets them over the top.
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: That would shock me. If the Buffalo Bills ended up
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: with Clint.
• 26:40
  Speaker 6: Kubiak, it would shock me to some extent simply because
• 26:44
  Speaker 6: what you said, it feels like where they're at is
• 26:46
  Speaker 6: kind of like Super Bowl or bus Like you got
• 26:48
  Speaker 6: to get us. We're not looking for just winning ten, eleven,
• 26:51
  Speaker 6: twelve games. We're looking for somebody we'd know can get
• 26:54
  Speaker 6: us to the super Bowl and win that thing. Now,
• 26:56
  Speaker 6: on the flip side of it, I mean the way
• 26:58
  Speaker 6: in which Buffalo is capable of running the ball this year,
• 27:01
  Speaker 6: and then you have Josh Allen and now you look
• 27:05
  Speaker 6: at what's what Clint Kubiak did with Seattle right where
• 27:08
  Speaker 6: they didn't run the ball as well as Baltimore did.
• 27:10
  Speaker 6: But you had Sam Darnold, who is not Josh Allen.
• 27:13
  Speaker 6: I think it's okay to say that help turn JSN
• 27:17
  Speaker 6: into the league's leading receiver. Now you don't have a
• 27:21
  Speaker 6: JSN on your team either, you know, you can't say, well,
• 27:25
  Speaker 6: Key and Coleman or whoever it is that you have
• 27:27
  Speaker 6: out there that he's that Clinton Kubiak can turn him
• 27:30
  Speaker 6: into JSN. But if the idea is, if the idea
• 27:34
  Speaker 6: is you bring him in and he can help kind
• 27:36
  Speaker 6: of raise all of that talent that is around him offensively,
• 27:40
  Speaker 6: then maybe he goes in there and I don't know
• 27:42
  Speaker 6: him well enough to know whether or not he's gonna
• 27:45
  Speaker 6: knock an interview out of the park.
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: Right. A lot of people say, I don't know for
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: sure if.
• 27:49
  Speaker 6: He has that spark, and now it is a spark, yeah, yeah,
• 27:51
  Speaker 6: but he might. He just might not show it to
• 27:53
  Speaker 6: the media. He might have it in a closed door
• 27:56
  Speaker 6: meeting with an ownership group. He might have it behind
• 27:59
  Speaker 6: closed doors with his team. I mean, we're watching this offense,
• 28:03
  Speaker 6: there's a spark there, guarantee it. No, I can't really
• 28:07
  Speaker 6: even guarantee that.
• 28:09
  Speaker 4: I can't guarantee.
• 28:10
  Speaker 6: You well, binoculars and I hang out and I've seen
• 28:16
  Speaker 6: rich neighborhoods at times. But I mean, so I wouldn't
• 28:21
  Speaker 6: be surprised. I would be surprised, but there's reasons why
• 28:24
  Speaker 6: if it happened, I would be able to go well,
• 28:26
  Speaker 6: I can see why you would think that he could
• 28:28
  Speaker 6: possibly take Josh Allen in that offense to a new height. So,
• 28:33
  Speaker 6: I mean, I won't be surprised if they go with
• 28:34
  Speaker 6: an offensive mind. To me, it seems like an offensive
• 28:39
  Speaker 6: mind that has kind of been there, done that, and
• 28:41
  Speaker 6: yet there's not a ton of guys out there that
• 28:43
  Speaker 6: kind of hit fit that resume.
• 28:45
  Speaker 5: I just think with where they are in Josh Allen's career,
• 28:48
  Speaker 5: to going with a first year head coach and kind
• 28:51
  Speaker 5: of going through the potential growing pains of that isn't
• 28:54
  Speaker 5: where they would see themselves. I think that they see
• 28:57
  Speaker 5: themselves as well. They should see themselves as well. We
• 29:01
  Speaker 5: are Super Bowl contenders every single year. So who's the
• 29:04
  Speaker 5: coach that's gonna actually get us to the Super Bowl
• 29:07
  Speaker 5: and get us a win in the Super Bowl.
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan trade two first rounders for him?
• 29:13
  Speaker 4: I mean, oh, I think that would be a great idea.
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: They're getting ready to rebuild, and maybe he's.
• 29:17
  Speaker 4: Not in our division anymore. Yeah, yeah, I did with that, man,
• 29:20
  Speaker 4: sign me up.
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: Just a thought. If you think that's crazy, Wait, do
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: you hear this? H Raiders have the number one pick
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: in the draft, of course, and Fernando Mendoza announced yesterday
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: that he's going to enter the NFL draft, and the
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: expectation is that the Raiders will take him in a
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: really weak quarterback draft and they at least need a
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: quarterback of the future. Maybe they do let Geno throw
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: it around for one more season. I would doubt that,
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: since Pete's not there anymore, defending Geno Smith at every turn,
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: I would doubt that even Geno's going to be there,
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: But you never know. They would owe him a lot
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: of money. Maybe maybe they would have Fernando Mendoza learn
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: behind Geno Smith. I think that'd be a mistake, but
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: that seems to be the thought. They don't have a
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: head coach yet, but they do have the number one
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: pick in the draft, and Fernando Mendoza seems like the
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: logical choice. Let me throw this out at you. I
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: was gonna save this for Reckless at Breakfast next Tuesday,
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: but I can't wait I'm nervous. Are you ready? Yeah,
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: the number one overall pick a disgruntled Max Crosby, next
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: year's first rounder, the next two second rounders, and Brock Bowers.
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: What to Cincinnati for Joe Burrow and Jamar Chase?
• 30:39
  Speaker 4: Whoaugh? I mean made my stomach turn.
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: I don't know why that's such a That would be
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: the biggest trade in the history of the history of
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: the universe.
• 30:50
  Speaker 6: Yeah, then who does I mean Cincinnati Fernando Mendoza. Oh,
• 30:56
  Speaker 6: they're gonna okay, so they just basically Cincinnati is starting over.
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: No Bernando Mendoza, cheap quarterback, Heisman Trophy winner. Plus, you've
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: got t Higgins and Brock Bauers in your receiving corps.
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: You have Max Crosby and a new team ready to go.
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: You get rid of Trey Hendrickson, so he replaces Trey Hendrickson.
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: Plus you get another first rounder and two second rounders
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: for the future to add to your team, and the
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: Raiders get a new identity with Joe Burrow and Jamar Chase.
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: That's a big one.
• 31:27
  Speaker 6: I don't even know how your brain starts to wrap
• 31:30
  Speaker 6: around that. That to me is I mean the Raiders
• 31:33
  Speaker 6: do they seem like they're a quarterback and a great
• 31:35
  Speaker 6: quarterback and a great receiver away from being good, especially
• 31:38
  Speaker 6: if you now don't have any draft capital for the
• 31:41
  Speaker 6: next couple of years, any of.
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: Your tough drafts. But to get those two guys, to
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: get arguably the best receiver and the guy that's in
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: the conversation for best young quarterback in the National Football League,
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: it costs a lot.
• 31:53
  Speaker 4: And you got a young running back, you.
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: Have an identity, you have a young running back.
• 31:59
  Speaker 4: In depend you know who you get as your coach.
• 32:01
  Speaker 5: I mean, I kind of want to see it happen,
• 32:02
  Speaker 5: just because it would be so chaotic.
• 32:04
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm fine with it, know for sure if the
• 32:06
  Speaker 6: Raiders or that seems like it would set their raiders back,
• 32:10
  Speaker 6: maybe give them a boost of energy at first. But
• 32:12
  Speaker 6: that seems like, boy, giving all your best defensive player
• 32:15
  Speaker 6: and all that draft capital and now you've got a
• 32:17
  Speaker 6: great quarterback that has our time staying healthy and a
• 32:21
  Speaker 6: great receiver, but that offense wasn't enough with even better
• 32:26
  Speaker 6: supporting cast.
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: Well, before you think it's too crazy, I will tell
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: you this. What they think it will cost to get
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: Joe Burrow is three to four first rounders two to
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: three second rounders, an established player at a key position.
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: So that's that's the baseline that you're going to have
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: to work from. Now. I threw Jamar Chase into it too,
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: so that's why I had to add even more to it.
• 32:52
  Speaker 4: That is a lot.
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: It'll never happen.
• 32:56
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I love the drama. Let's do it all right?
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: Coming up next, your no cliche keys to victory on
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM. Around the room
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: and get everybody's key to victory. A cliche cannot be
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: used unless you really do want to support it statistically
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: or theoretically, whatever way you want to go about it.
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: But nonetheless, we have to come up with a key
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: to victory for the Seahawks this weekend that isn't just
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: you know, mumbo jump.
• 33:27
  Speaker 4: That's right.
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: I hate Mumbo jump.
• 33:29
  Speaker 4: Oh everybody, Oh geez, the mumbo and the jump.
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: I've had it up to here with mumbo Yeah, and
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: jumbo I've never even given the time.
• 33:37
  Speaker 5: Of day, just ignored completely, uh huh.
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: And so this one, of course takes on an elevated
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: meeting as we're trying to win the NFC Conference Championship
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: this weekend against the Los Angeles Rams, So we better
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: get a good one out of you, Bucky. What is
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: your no cliche key to victory?
• 33:53
  Speaker 6: Well, we're talking about the Rams, or we've been talking
• 33:56
  Speaker 6: about the Seahawks and how well they're playing right now,
• 33:58
  Speaker 6: kind of clicking on all cylinders, playing to the best football.
• 34:01
  Speaker 6: The Rams are not in that same boat. I mean,
• 34:02
  Speaker 6: they squeaked by the Panthers by three. They squeaked by
• 34:08
  Speaker 6: the Bears by three. Now, both of those on the road, obviously,
• 34:11
  Speaker 6: and this one's going to be in the same boat.
• 34:13
  Speaker 6: I think the key to this one is generating consistent
• 34:18
  Speaker 6: pressure on Matt Stafford collapse in that pocket without having
• 34:21
  Speaker 6: to blitz. Because the one thing that you can do,
• 34:25
  Speaker 6: you can give up some completions to a guy if
• 34:27
  Speaker 6: they do if they tackle the way that they did
• 34:30
  Speaker 6: a couple of weeks ago. How the Seahawks were, I
• 34:32
  Speaker 6: mean it's like every single time that first game against
• 34:35
  Speaker 6: the Niners, where right when they catch the ball, boom
• 34:37
  Speaker 6: they're down.
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: Okay, Well you can have that.
• 34:39
  Speaker 6: You can have those three four yards if you're getting
• 34:42
  Speaker 6: in there and making it to where he's having to
• 34:45
  Speaker 6: get rid of the ball quickly, and yet you have
• 34:47
  Speaker 6: a bunch of guys back there because you're only having
• 34:49
  Speaker 6: to send four, so you have the other seven guys
• 34:52
  Speaker 6: back there in coverage, you're tackling guys short and making
• 34:55
  Speaker 6: it for third and longs. It just feels like you're
• 34:58
  Speaker 6: going to be able to make it really difficult uphill
• 35:00
  Speaker 6: sledding for matt Stafford, and then eventually he's going to
• 35:03
  Speaker 6: make a mistake or two.
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: Well, earlier this week, we did an entire segment on
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: this very thing where I said, I don't think there's
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: any more important key to victory in any football game,
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: much less a big football game, than being able to
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: get pressure on the quarterback with four And I think
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: that the Seahawks do it better or have done it
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: better than any other team in the NFL this entire season.
• 35:27
  Speaker 4: He's said it more consistently.
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And so I would agree with you. I would
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: put that at the very top of the list. If
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: they can do that against Matthew Stafford, who right now
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: is not playing his best football, might not be one
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: hundred percent healthy, And if they can add to all
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: of the pressure that the fans are going to apply
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: noise wise and dealing with a snap count and trying
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: to get plays off and trying to get communication, and
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: if Stafford adds to his frustration by getting popped in
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: the mouth every time he tries to throw a football
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: like Brock Purdy did and can't find the defense because
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: you're able to drop that entire seven man backfield into
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: coverage and kind of bottle people up. Yeah, if the
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: Seahawks do that, really, if any team does that, they're
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: probably going to win the football game. Yeah, but the Seahawks,
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: to me, percentage wise this season, they've done it better
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: than anybody else, and I think they have the best
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: chance of doing it of all four teams this weekend.
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: So yeah, I'm with you. I think that is the
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: number one key to this game.
• 36:28
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I would agree. I would agree, But we have
• 36:30
  Speaker 5: to have others. All Right, what do you got Sometimes
• 36:32
  Speaker 5: in order to find the key to you winning, you
• 36:35
  Speaker 5: have to go look at what the other team might
• 36:37
  Speaker 5: struggle with, right, And the Rams had twenty missed tackles
• 36:41
  Speaker 5: against Chicago in just overtimers and yeah, just no, they
• 36:45
  Speaker 5: were cool, Yeah they were cold, but twenty miss tackles
• 36:48
  Speaker 5: on the running backs on Chicago's running backs, and Ken
• 36:50
  Speaker 5: Walker is only behind Bijon Robinson and Jonathan Taylor in
• 36:54
  Speaker 5: terms of forcing more miss tackles.
• 36:56
  Speaker 4: So ken Walker, he gets.
• 36:58
  Speaker 5: The ball solo this time, and he's got to just
• 37:01
  Speaker 5: be that feisty, little shifty shifty running back and force
• 37:06
  Speaker 5: them to miss the tackles and have a day.
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: Ken Walker, do that voodoo that you do so well
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: so well. Yeah, that was also on my short list
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: of things. Man, if you are running the football the
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: way you did last week, yeah, you're winning this game now.
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: I don't know if they will that they have it
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: done is consistently. He hasn't personally done it as consistently
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: this year. I think there are many times ken Walker's
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: just out there like ad libbing yeah, and yet we
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: are seeing him come off as best game of the year.
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: Hughmellon pointed out statistics that suggests that everything is pointing
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: toward a big ken Walker day. Ken Walker has a
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: big day, you're winning the football game. And then I
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: would just add quickly, if you want a third different,
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: no cliche key to victory, because those two are at
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: the very top of my list. I would also say
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: Sam Darnold, everybody talks about the interceptions that he's thrown
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: the turnovers that he's made against the Los Angeles Rams.
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: They do a tremendous job confusing him with pressure as well.
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: No team has sacked him more in the last year
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: and a half, thirteen sacks in his last three games
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: against the Los Angeles Rams, one of those as a
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: member of the Minnesota Vikings, and the pressures he had
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: thirteen I think alone in the last game, So that
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: to me would be the third no cliche. Keet to victory.
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: Protect Sam, make sure that he's not putting things in
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: harm's way because he doesn't have time to throw for
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: four straight quarters. And then I think that it's also
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: you do that you're winning the football game against the
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: Los Angeles Rams. Let's get Greg Bell's key that's coming
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: up next at seven oh five plus Your Headline Sports
