  Speaker 1: All right, here we go a Friday edition in the
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: NFL Playoffs of Greg co cell Man. This is good.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: It's been a while. It's been a few years. It's
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: been three years, to be exact, since last week. Last
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: week did this? Yeah, Greg, I'm in this o'quama casino,
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: and I got Seahawk fans walking by. Go Hawks. Huh,
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: there we go.
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: Huh.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: Let's go, ladies, Huh, let's go. The twelves are here
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: in mass or at least a few of them. Uh,
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: in the early afternoon hours. I joke. It has been
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: a while. The last time we saw a Seahawks playoff
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: game three years ago, and it was the same San
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: Francisco team, although it was in San Francisco. This time around,
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: it's obviously here in Seattle. But Greg, great to have
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: you here. It's great to talk a little playoff football
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: with you, my friend. How are you?
• 2:52
  Speaker 4: I'm doing great, I and how you doing? Yeah, it's fine.
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: It's we got the playoffs and the first the first
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: game tomorrow too. They open it up.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: No, they're the second game. They're the second game. They're
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: the second game. They have the fun.
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah, Denver and right, Denver and Buffalo is the
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: first game, right right you.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: Unfortunately it's late for you. It'll be eight o'clock for
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: you on the East coast, so I'm assuming you won't
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: see that until next the Sunday morning. Right, That's how
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: it works.
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: See see, you know, we'll see how it goes. You know, well,
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: we'll see, you know, I cause I got to I
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: actually have to get up real early Sunday morning because
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: I do a radio show on FS one. But we'll
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: see how it goes.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: Man, you're a busy guy, busy guy this time of
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: the year.
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: Well, let's well, you know, let's get to just talking football.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: And you know, that's all it is. Let's get to it.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: I'm curious because the last time these teams played Week eighteen,
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: Seattle comes away with a wins and two hundred yards
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: of offense for San Francisco in that game, and they
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: had George Kittle that game as well. Greg, What what
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: happened in that game like that is not a Kyle
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: Shanahan offense at all.
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: No, you know, it's funny that game I watched on
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: TV as well, and just watching it on TV through
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: the first quarter and a half, you know, we may
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: have discussed this maybe we haven't. I guess we haven't.
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: Is you got the feeling for sure that that game
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: was not a Niner game because the Niners are all
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: about running plays and controlling the pace and tempo of
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: the game with their offense, and they could not do
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: that in that game. They only ended up running forty
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: two offensive plays, which is an unheard of number in
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: an NFL game. Kyle Shanahan, as you well know, is
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: not a you know, gimmick, let's try a cool play
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: kind of coach. Now, will he do that rarely, as
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: he did last week and as he did in the
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: Super Bowl two years ago against the Chiefs. Yeah, but
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: that's not really who he is. He's all about a
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: system systematically controlling a defense through the course of four quarters,
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: and that game just got away from them very early.
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: The Seahawks had a long drive to start, then the
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: forty nine Ers went three and out, Then the Seahawks
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: had another long drive, and all of a sudden, even
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: though the score wasn't out of hand, it just did
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: not feel like a forty nine Er game at all.
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: And I thought that the Seahawks controlled the line of
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: scrimmage on both sides of the ball, in that game.
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: There's other factors too, we can get to in a moment,
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: but I don't want to give less soliloqually here. But
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: I mean that's kind of the overriding point of that game, the.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: Fact they didn't have Trent Williams. And I listen, he's
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: a Hall of Famer.
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: That's a big deal.
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a big deal. I always at least of
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: my friends like John Lunn down in the Bay Area,
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: when they point that out. I like to point out
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: too that Seattle didn't have Charles Cross and Josh Jones
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: was playing on one and a half legs. But Trent
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: Williams will stay with that for it just a second.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: Trent Willms a big loss in that game. He's back.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: How much of a difference does he make?
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: Well, I think he expands their run game because you
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: can do more things with him that you can't do
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: with pleasants who came in and did you know Yeoman's
• 5:57
  Speaker 4: work as a backup. But Trend Williams, as you said,
• 6:01
  Speaker 4: he's a Hall of Famer. The athleticism and mobility, the
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: fact that he can get outside, and he just gives
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: them so many more options in a very multiple and
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: diverse run game. So yes, it is a big deal. Now,
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: having said that, I think that the most maybe not
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: in Seattle, but I think around the league the most
• 6:19
  Speaker 4: overlooked element of Seattle's defense are Leonard Williams and Byron Murphy. Inside,
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: it is really difficult to run the ball inside against
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: Seattle's defense. Those two guys are outstanding. You know, Murphy
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: is as good as there is in the league in
• 6:33
  Speaker 4: terms of stalemating and defeating double teams. And if he
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: can do that, that makes it really hard to run inside.
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: And I think that, like I said, there's many really
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: strong pieces to this defense, but I think that those
• 6:46
  Speaker 4: two players really make it very, very difficult to run
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: the ball. And I'll be very curious to see how
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: Kyle Shanahan believes that they can run the ball. You know,
• 6:57
  Speaker 4: what kinds of runs will he believe can be successful
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: against this defense. Because the Niners, even though they won
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: this past week without McCaffrey being a big factor, foundationally,
• 7:09
  Speaker 4: they feel that the running game has to be a
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: sustaining factor in their offense.
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we're still trying to scratch our he We're scratching
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: our heads here, still wondering how Byron Murphy didn't receive
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: any postseason NFL awards. I mean, okay, he's not an
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: All Pro, but he didn't even get mentioned as a bobbler.
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: I'm just watching tape and I'm not going to sit
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: here and say I charted every defensive tackle, so take
• 7:29
  Speaker 4: it for what it's worth. But I do, as you know,
• 7:31
  Speaker 4: watch a lot of tape, and I felt that the
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: best d tackle in the NFL this year was Jeffrey Simmons,
• 7:36
  Speaker 4: and I felt that Byron Murphy was the second best
• 7:38
  Speaker 4: guy that I saw on tape, you know, for the
• 7:40
  Speaker 4: amount of tape that I watch. Like I said, I'm
• 7:42
  Speaker 4: not charting everybody. So someone might say, oh, no, you're wrong,
• 7:45
  Speaker 4: and that's fine, you know, it's not. It's not a contest.
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: But I thought Byron Murphy played at an exceptionally high
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: level this year.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: Well, and they rotate it's you got Williams, you got Murphy,
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: you got Jaron Reid.
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: I mean, they're I think that's the key, right, the
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: depth on the defensive line sometimes and now.
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: They're getting my guy from Notre Dame Millsden, who I
• 8:03
  Speaker 4: really like coming out. I watched him the year before
• 8:06
  Speaker 4: before he tore his ACL and Notre Dame in his
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: last year, but even I watched him in his last year,
• 8:10
  Speaker 4: and I think he's a guy that I'll end up
• 8:12
  Speaker 4: being a really nice rotational player as he plays more.
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: Greg Coselle joining us Curtsey A Salsutter. Greg, I'm curious
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: about the McCaffrey thing, basically week eighteen and then last
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: week of the Wildcard round, two weeks in which he
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: just has not got going on the ground. One week
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: obviously without without Trent Williams, as we just discussed, But
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: you know, is it because of the lack of a
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: I don't know, the passing game. Perties will talk about
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: him in a second, and we'll get to the Kittle thing.
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: That's a huge deal, but no Kiddle blocking. We'll just
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: talk about that. Why do you think they haven't been
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: able to get that running game going?
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's a great question. I mean, you know, there'll
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: be a lot of different discussion points about that. I
• 8:51
  Speaker 4: spoke with a coach today who's played the Niners, and
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: he felt that McCaffrey is not exactly what he used
• 8:57
  Speaker 4: to be, you know, so he would certainly know better
• 9:01
  Speaker 4: than I. He's a coach a defensive coach that played
• 9:03
  Speaker 4: against him, and he's studying him in greater detail than
• 9:05
  Speaker 4: I study him, even though I look at him every week.
• 9:08
  Speaker 4: So I'm not going to say he's wrong. You know,
• 9:10
  Speaker 4: he knows more than I do. You know, he didn't
• 9:13
  Speaker 4: really break runs this year. I mean, he had one
• 9:15
  Speaker 4: long run. I forget that was which game that was,
• 9:18
  Speaker 4: but he had I think a forty yarder. But for
• 9:21
  Speaker 4: the most part, you know, it's been a grind, you know.
• 9:25
  Speaker 4: And he's a very hard runner. I mean he's he's
• 9:29
  Speaker 4: a true hard yards runner. He's a sustainer now, but
• 9:32
  Speaker 4: there have been no really breakaway runs this year. And
• 9:36
  Speaker 4: look again, it's easy to see the access to the
• 9:38
  Speaker 4: results and say, gee, maybe he's just lost that half
• 9:41
  Speaker 4: a step. As I said, I spoke to a coach
• 9:43
  Speaker 4: who believes that's so. So maybe that's the case. But
• 9:46
  Speaker 4: the one thing about him is he does run really,
• 9:49
  Speaker 4: really hard.
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: Well, let's get to the George Kittle situation, because I
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: think it's two fold. The great Cosale joining his courtesy Seattlesider,
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: we're previewing, of course tomorrow's game. It's massive. We'll get
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: to Kittle in the receiving game. I kind of want
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: to split it up if we can, Greg, because I
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: think a lot of fans look around the league, and
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: you know, I don't want to diminish what you know
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: people's knowledge is. But you know, we think of Kittle
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: a lot of times as a pass catcher. You see
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: the long hair, you see the demonstra right things afterwards,
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: and we'll get to that part, but I believe you're
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: going to tell me that George Kittle is really integral
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: to their pass blocking or to their run block game,
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: to the running game. Just with this run blocking. How
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: much of a loss is it in that part of
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: the game for San.
• 10:30
  Speaker 4: Francisco, it's a It's a really big deal because it's
• 10:33
  Speaker 4: not only the fact that he can physically block, it's
• 10:36
  Speaker 4: the kinds of runs you can run that require him
• 10:39
  Speaker 4: to do that. So now you know Jake tung Is,
• 10:42
  Speaker 4: he's done very well when he's played. They've got Ferrell.
• 10:46
  Speaker 4: You know, these aren't bad players. But again the question becomes,
• 10:50
  Speaker 4: does it limit what they can do with their their
• 10:52
  Speaker 4: run game concepts. That's the key, you know, because the
• 10:55
  Speaker 4: last thing you want to do, and the Niners are
• 10:58
  Speaker 4: a very diverse and multiple run game when they're at
• 11:00
  Speaker 4: their best. Now, does Kyle Shanahan feel that he has
• 11:02
  Speaker 4: to limit the number of run concepts that he can
• 11:06
  Speaker 4: that he can run because he does not have Kittle?
• 11:09
  Speaker 4: So you know, we don't know the answer to that
• 11:11
  Speaker 4: till they play, but there's no question it's a concern
• 11:14
  Speaker 4: for the Niners because Kittle is you know, is really good,
• 11:18
  Speaker 4: as I said, not just as an individual blocker who,
• 11:21
  Speaker 4: by the way, can block defensive ends one on one,
• 11:23
  Speaker 4: but also in what they can do with him as
• 11:25
  Speaker 4: a motion player, as a movement player. So there's there's
• 11:29
  Speaker 4: a lot of factors there.
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: When Kyle Shanahan Greg Greg Cosell with us and I'm
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: at the snow calling me Casino and Hotel of course,
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: our sponsor for all of our playoff coverage, Greg Whin,
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan looks down at his play sheet. How different
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: is it going to look without eighty five out there
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: in the passing game as well?
• 11:49
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, I again, those are hard questions to answer,
• 11:53
  Speaker 4: but you know, I'll give you a great example the
• 11:57
  Speaker 4: winning touchdown they scored this past week, which ended Upana McCaffrey,
• 12:00
  Speaker 4: who was not the primary and probably was the fourth
• 12:03
  Speaker 4: or fifth option, just the way the play played out.
• 12:06
  Speaker 4: That play, my guess is it was actually designed for
• 12:09
  Speaker 4: George Kittle, even though he was not in the game.
• 12:11
  Speaker 4: That's a play that when they put in, I'm sure
• 12:13
  Speaker 4: it was designed for Kittle because ultimately the number the
• 12:16
  Speaker 4: read was Tonguus Jake Tungas. That's the way the play
• 12:19
  Speaker 4: was designed. So I'm sure when they put it in
• 12:21
  Speaker 4: during the week that was Kittle, but they still ran
• 12:24
  Speaker 4: the play.
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 12:25
  Speaker 4: So I'm not a Look, I'm not a coach, and
• 12:28
  Speaker 4: I'm not I'm not pretending I know the answer to
• 12:30
  Speaker 4: these questions the end, because I don't. So I'm not
• 12:32
  Speaker 4: gonna sit here and say I do. We know a
• 12:34
  Speaker 4: lot of people that say these things you don't mean
• 12:36
  Speaker 4: well enough to know. I don't say the things that
• 12:38
  Speaker 4: I don't feel like I know about. But but it's
• 12:41
  Speaker 4: a there's a definite balancing act here, because you can't
• 12:44
  Speaker 4: limit your offense so much to the point where it's
• 12:47
  Speaker 4: too easy to defend. You know that that becomes the
• 12:50
  Speaker 4: other issue, you know, because then you just reduce it
• 12:53
  Speaker 4: to the point where it becomes way too easy for
• 12:56
  Speaker 4: Mike McDonald and this defense, and then it's and it's
• 12:59
  Speaker 4: a great defense to begin.
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: With Purty versus a Seattle secondary. Jennings, We're not sure
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: about Pierce. All situation Listen is questionable, right, but you
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: know Seattle Secondary has come on. We've talked about those guys.
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: Riek Wolan looks like a better player every week. He's
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: going to getting back in his old days. So give
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: me your thoughts on what you're looking for when you're
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: gonna watch the tape on Sunday night or Monday morning.
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: When you watch the tape, what do you think you're
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: gonna see? What are you looking for with Purdy versus
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: that secondary?
• 13:26
  Speaker 4: I mean, we know that they play basically Big Nickel
• 13:30
  Speaker 4: and Dyne. That's basically what they play. Every once in
• 13:33
  Speaker 4: a while, depending on situation, they'll throw in their five
• 13:36
  Speaker 4: to two front, but they normally don't take him and
• 13:38
  Speaker 4: Worry off the field. So you know, in a sense,
• 13:41
  Speaker 4: the way they use them and Worry even though it's
• 13:44
  Speaker 4: big Nickel because he's a safety, he's basically a sam
• 13:47
  Speaker 4: linebacker in a four to three. That's basically who he is,
• 13:51
  Speaker 4: the way they deploy him, so you know, and he's
• 13:54
  Speaker 4: a really integral part of this. You know, they do
• 13:57
  Speaker 4: a lot of things on the back end. You know,
• 13:59
  Speaker 4: I think at the end of the day, McDonald is
• 14:01
  Speaker 4: more of a two shell guy than a single high guy,
• 14:04
  Speaker 4: although he will go to you know, everybody goes to
• 14:06
  Speaker 4: single high at some point, but I think he's more
• 14:08
  Speaker 4: of a two shell guy. And I think even when
• 14:11
  Speaker 4: they pressure, their their pressures are high percentage zone pressures
• 14:16
  Speaker 4: as opposed to man pressures, and even in their zone pressures,
• 14:19
  Speaker 4: they keep kind of that that shell look behind it.
• 14:23
  Speaker 4: So you know, that's that's kind of who they are.
• 14:26
  Speaker 4: And uh, but you know, they're they're really very very good.
• 14:30
  Speaker 4: It's it's a it's a tough defense to play against
• 14:33
  Speaker 4: with its combination of what they do tactically and the people.
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: Sat didn't score much the last time they played. Uh,
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: you know it. And you know, but which is odd
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: I think in a sense because it feels like with
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: all and Fred Warner will not play. We found that
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: out on Thursday. Yes, yeah, so he's not gonna play.
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: Kendricks is in there. Uh, they're missing obviously Bosa as well.
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: So yeah, just I'll just throw it out there, open
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: end and what what what should we be watching as
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: far as the Seattle offense and against that forty nine
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: or defense led by Robert Sola.
• 15:02
  Speaker 4: The forty nine Ers, the forty nine Ers defense is
• 15:06
  Speaker 4: is relatively static. You know, they're not one of those
• 15:10
  Speaker 4: defenses that does a ton of things. Now again, there's
• 15:12
  Speaker 4: always nuance within particular basic defensive concepts, but you know,
• 15:18
  Speaker 4: their linebackers are critical in their in their zone coverage schemes.
• 15:22
  Speaker 4: You know, one or was the best is the best
• 15:24
  Speaker 4: in the league as a zone coverage linebacker. But I
• 15:27
  Speaker 4: thought that Walla, Wallow and Kendricks played really well last week,
• 15:32
  Speaker 4: and you know, and that was one of the reasons
• 15:34
  Speaker 4: they won. But obviously they're not They're not Warner, but
• 15:37
  Speaker 4: you know they're they're I guess what I'm trying to
• 15:40
  Speaker 4: say is by NFL standards, and that's that's what I
• 15:43
  Speaker 4: go by. They're not necessarily a complex defense. You know,
• 15:47
  Speaker 4: I'm sure if Robert Sala was here, he'd say, Hey,
• 15:49
  Speaker 4: they do a lot of things within their their basic structures,
• 15:51
  Speaker 4: which they do, but overall, you know, you're not going
• 15:54
  Speaker 4: to get a ton of of multiple pressure looks. You're
• 15:57
  Speaker 4: not going to get a ton of of gleat coverage rotation.
• 16:01
  Speaker 4: They'll do some of you know, everybody does some of everything, obviously,
• 16:04
  Speaker 4: but for the most part, their coverage tendency is more
• 16:08
  Speaker 4: static than multiple and movement based.
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: Seattle was able to control the ball as you mentioned
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: in that game. I do feel as if the Seattle
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: running game has come along a little bit the last
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: few weeks. Are you seeing that on tape?
• 16:22
  Speaker 4: Well, I mean that was a key key element in
• 16:25
  Speaker 4: that game. I mean, you know, they combined charbon At
• 16:30
  Speaker 4: and Walker combined thirty three for one seventy one against
• 16:34
  Speaker 4: the Niners, and that's something that they have not really
• 16:37
  Speaker 4: done much of this year. You know, Walker, you know,
• 16:41
  Speaker 4: obviously getting a thousand yards now in seventeen games in
• 16:43
  Speaker 4: and of itself doesn't mean wow, he had a great year,
• 16:46
  Speaker 4: but he did get over a thousand sharbon At, you know,
• 16:48
  Speaker 4: had twelve touchdowns. Turned out to be much more of
• 16:51
  Speaker 4: a factor than I thought. But they obviously felt that
• 16:54
  Speaker 4: he could be that he and he was and they
• 16:57
  Speaker 4: they you know, I think they did a really nice
• 16:59
  Speaker 4: jar thought. Charbonny's touchdown run in that game was just
• 17:02
  Speaker 4: beautifully schemed and designed to create that edge because they
• 17:07
  Speaker 4: used Cup as a movement guy and they ended up
• 17:10
  Speaker 4: with kind of an open age so you know, I
• 17:14
  Speaker 4: thought they did a really good job schematically, and I
• 17:16
  Speaker 4: thought they were able to, you know, attack the edges
• 17:20
  Speaker 4: of the forty nine er defense in that game really consistently.
• 17:23
  Speaker 4: And I thought Darnold played you know, and this might
• 17:26
  Speaker 4: sound crazy because he didn't throw for three hundred and
• 17:28
  Speaker 4: fifty yards or all, but I thought he played one
• 17:30
  Speaker 4: of his best games of the season because he played
• 17:32
  Speaker 4: to that game. That game required efficiency and a methodical
• 17:37
  Speaker 4: nature and a surgical nature as opposed to let's toss
• 17:40
  Speaker 4: it down the field and try to hit home runs,
• 17:42
  Speaker 4: you know, And I thought he played really really well
• 17:45
  Speaker 4: to what that game was.
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: Greg, we're revisiting this because it's I mean, this is strange.
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: It doesn't happen where you're playing the same team back
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: to back weeks, but that's the case for Seattle. So
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: I want to go back down and talk about Lenor
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: versus JSN. We mentioned it. It bears repeating by you.
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: Leonor for the most part, right, will not follow JSN
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: round right.
• 18:08
  Speaker 4: No, they don't play that way. Now again, I'm not
• 18:10
  Speaker 4: gonna sit here and say you're never ever going to
• 18:12
  Speaker 4: see that, because I you know, we don't know when
• 18:14
  Speaker 4: you get to a playoff game when teams start to
• 18:16
  Speaker 4: do things a little bit differently. But normally they play
• 18:20
  Speaker 4: sides green and Leonora plays sides, you know, so they
• 18:24
  Speaker 4: they they are not a match up defense in that regard.
• 18:28
  Speaker 4: So again, does that mean they'll never match up, We
• 18:31
  Speaker 4: don't know that, but that's not the way they've played
• 18:33
  Speaker 4: this season.
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: Really it comes down to, you know, someone's gonna make
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: a play, and this is the playoffs. I was just
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: looking back at some of the highlights of you know,
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: of yester year, Greg when when we you know, when
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: this team was going to the postseason every single year,
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: and you know what, it was wild someone always in
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: this is playoff football, period, whether it was last week's
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: kind of trick play that they ran with Jennings throwing
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: the ball for San Francisco or go back, you know,
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: Jermaine Curse in the twenty thirteen game and an incredible
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: play in the end zone on a pass from Russell
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: Wilson and that, you know, and Kwan Bolden had a
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: big play in that game. And there's always those guys
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: are gonna come up and you know, kind of step
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: up along the way. I'm gonna throw one at you
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: because he's had a fairly quiet year catching the ball.
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: You've talked about him in the run game a lot.
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: I just there's something that tells me that Cooper Cup,
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: with all of his experience and being there and doing that,
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: could be a factor in this game.
• 19:28
  Speaker 4: Greg could be but just to throw something down. And
• 19:31
  Speaker 4: I guarantee Mike McDonald's and staff know this. But you know,
• 19:34
  Speaker 4: Juwon Jennings is a four star quarterback crew coming out
• 19:37
  Speaker 4: of high school, So I guarantee they know that. But yeah,
• 19:43
  Speaker 4: I mean Cup. You know, obviously he's not been a
• 19:46
  Speaker 4: volume target in their offense for you know, most of
• 19:49
  Speaker 4: the season, the large majority of the season. But you know,
• 19:52
  Speaker 4: he's a professional receiver. Know, you never know how a
• 19:55
  Speaker 4: game is gonna play out. It's not that he's incapable,
• 19:58
  Speaker 4: you know, you just don't know how a game is
• 20:00
  Speaker 4: going to play out. Now, just looking at these two teams,
• 20:03
  Speaker 4: I think we'd I think we'd be surprised, but you
• 20:06
  Speaker 4: never know. If this game was like a thirty five
• 20:08
  Speaker 4: to thirty one game, I think we'd be surprised. Yes,
• 20:11
  Speaker 4: that's the way this game played out. You know, I
• 20:13
  Speaker 4: think we're we'd probably look at this game more as
• 20:15
  Speaker 4: a twenty thirteen to twenty seventeen kind of game. So
• 20:20
  Speaker 4: you know, as assuming you know, no health issue with
• 20:23
  Speaker 4: Darnold and he plays the whole game, then you know,
• 20:30
  Speaker 4: will they take a shot here and there? For sure
• 20:32
  Speaker 4: they're gonna you know, it's not like they're just going
• 20:33
  Speaker 4: to say, you know, let's let's put the car in
• 20:35
  Speaker 4: the garage and not even take it out for a spin.
• 20:37
  Speaker 4: But I mean, I don't think that this is going
• 20:39
  Speaker 4: to be a game where they're looking to you know,
• 20:41
  Speaker 4: keep pushing it and pushing it and pushing it, because
• 20:43
  Speaker 4: I don't think that the score will dictate that.
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: Great co sal saying is going to be a close game.
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: That means Seahawk fans will be stressed out tomorrow from
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: five pm to eight pm Pacific. It'll be a stressful game.
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: It's always stressful in the playoffs, isn't it, Greg. It's
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: always stressful for the hometown for all the fans.
• 20:58
  Speaker 4: Tell you what though last weekend, last weekend was crazy
• 21:01
  Speaker 4: with all those fourth quarters. I mean that's you know,
• 21:03
  Speaker 4: I mean for someone like myself who doesn't have a
• 21:05
  Speaker 4: horse and they're razy, and you know, that just makes
• 21:07
  Speaker 4: it so much fun to watch.
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: Greg, do you think that that at any point in
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: time tomorrow that the if the La Rams are leading
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: the Chicago Bears, do you think they'll ever feel comfortable
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: knowing that the Bears have had all these two minute
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: comebacks this season, Like, you're never gonna feel comfortable if
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: you're in Chicago, right, if you're McVeigh and you have
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: a lead.
• 21:25
  Speaker 4: Now, you know, no, And the one thing that I
• 21:28
  Speaker 4: always tell people, and you know what, particularly when you
• 21:30
  Speaker 4: get to the playoff where you're playing better teams obviously,
• 21:33
  Speaker 4: is if there's a part of your team that is
• 21:35
  Speaker 4: either a weakness or not what you'd call a strain,
• 21:37
  Speaker 4: I'm never surprised when that gets exploited because that's what
• 21:41
  Speaker 4: you know. It's just that's the nature of football. These
• 21:44
  Speaker 4: coaches are pretty smart. You know that you've been doing
• 21:46
  Speaker 4: this a long time. I mean, you know, it's funny
• 21:48
  Speaker 4: you mentioned that game because the weakness of the Rams defense,
• 21:51
  Speaker 4: which is overall very good, are their corners. So it
• 21:54
  Speaker 4: would not surprise me if if Williams threw for a
• 21:57
  Speaker 4: lot of yards. I mean, that wouldn't surprise you. Although
• 22:00
  Speaker 4: it's supposed to be fifteen below with the wind chill.
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, which which I was in the I was in
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: Minnesota for that game a few years ago when it
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: was the twenty sixteen seventeen whenever it was with the
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: Seahawks and the Minnesota Vikings played outdoors at the University
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: of Minnesota Stadium when it was that same that's no fun.
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: I can tell you right now, even sitting in the
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: press polls, it's no fun.
• 22:19
  Speaker 4: What isn't that the game where Wilson threw like four
• 22:21
  Speaker 4: or five picks and then they came back and won.
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: They well, that was the That was the NFC championship
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: game in twenty fourteen twenty fourteen seasons. Okay, that was
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: the game. Blair Walsh missed a chip shot field goal
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: to win it for Minnesota at the end, and then
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: Seattle led up signing him after that the next year,
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: which is odd. But anyway, I digress. Can you give
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: me in a minute or less because you just said
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: something that intrigued me and I think a lot of
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: our listeners be curious about what is the weakness for
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: the Seahawks that the forty nine ers would want to exploit?
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: And same thing, what's the weakness for the forty nine
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: ers the Seahawks would want to exploit.
• 22:54
  Speaker 5: Wow.
• 22:55
  Speaker 4: I mean, look, the bottom line is is the forty
• 22:57
  Speaker 4: nine ers do not have a quality pass rush. Now again,
• 22:59
  Speaker 4: that doesn't mean they're gonna have Donald to drop back
• 23:01
  Speaker 4: forty five times, but they do not have a quality
• 23:04
  Speaker 4: pass rush at all. So you know, I think that
• 23:07
  Speaker 4: Donald for the most part should be secure in the pocket.
• 23:09
  Speaker 4: So I think you will see them take some shots.
• 23:12
  Speaker 4: On the other side. For Seattle Boy, their defense does
• 23:16
  Speaker 4: not really present, you know, a truly defined weakness. I mean,
• 23:20
  Speaker 4: I don't you know, they're just really good at all
• 23:23
  Speaker 4: three levels.
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: I mean I don't.
• 23:24
  Speaker 4: I don't think they have one area where you say, oh,
• 23:28
  Speaker 4: that's that's you know, that's something we're gonna go after.
• 23:31
  Speaker 4: You know, could they go after Josh Job and feel
• 23:34
  Speaker 4: like he's maybe. But the thing about the Niners is
• 23:38
  Speaker 4: if Ricky Piersoll doesn't play, and he's only a second
• 23:40
  Speaker 4: year player who's missed a lot of time, but he's
• 23:43
  Speaker 4: still their best one on one guy because they don't
• 23:46
  Speaker 4: really have a one on one receiver and without Kiddle,
• 23:49
  Speaker 4: they certainly don't have that guy.
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: Greg.
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: I'm hoping to talk to you next week about an
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: NFC championship game involving the local team here. All right,
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: I'm hoping to do that.
• 23:57
  Speaker 4: And that means you'd have another home game.
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: We we would love that. We will hope that happens
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: along the way. Until then, we'll talk to you. We're
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: crossing our fingers, Jess, we're talking to mister Coselle next
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: week that you're texting him in Monday and saying we're
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: back on one more week at least, and away we go.
• 24:10
  Speaker 4: All right, let's hope, so hope to be back with
• 24:13
  Speaker 4: you guys.
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: That's great co sale, the great great co sale. We'll
• 24:16

• 24:57
  Speaker 1: I almost feel like I have to warn them mostly
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: about me, but no, maybe it's both of us. We're
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: gonna probably do this over a couple segments today. I
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: can't just go like six or seven minutes from Danielle today.
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: Not today, Danny, not today, That's not going to happen today.
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: We can't go. This is playoff weekend, Danny. This is
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: the visional playoff round weekend. My friend, how are you?
• 25:17
  Speaker 5: I am doing very well and fully prepared for what
• 25:20
  Speaker 5: I will refer to as the double shot. We got
• 25:22
  Speaker 5: a double shot coming at you.
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: It's been a while since you've had one of those.
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: I'll have one later for you and let you know
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: how it goes.
• 25:27
  Speaker 5: So I appreciate it. I appreciate it.
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: No, you know what. I'm here for you, buddy. I
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: am absolutely flat out here for you. How's your week, man?
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: You're ready for a little playoff football?
• 25:40
  Speaker 5: I am. I'm very excited. It has been building over
• 25:43
  Speaker 5: the course of the week. I was disappointed because Kyle
• 25:47
  Speaker 5: Brandt of the NFL Network apparently was wandering the streets
• 25:50
  Speaker 5: of Manhattan with the picture of Mike McDonald's asking people
• 25:54
  Speaker 5: to identify the Seahawks coach. And if I had known,
• 25:57
  Speaker 5: I would have buzzed right down there to let him
• 25:59
  Speaker 5: know there are some people in this city who are
• 26:01
  Speaker 5: aware of the Seahawks.
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: Go Chip, what I want to get to some quick
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: NFL thing before we go back to the Hawks. John
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: Harbaugh goes to the Giants. What's what's the reaction there?
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: And I'll preface it by saying, Danny, it is interesting
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: because this is the great example of one man's trash
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: is another's treasure, like kick to the curb by his
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: old team Baltimore, Yeah, you're out. I mean, you've done
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: nothing really but win here. But we need to make
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: a change, which we know well because it happened here
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: in Seattle. And it feels like the Giants they're already
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: booking their tickets to whoever next to your Super Bowl?
• 26:33
  Speaker 6: Is?
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: What's it like there?
• 26:35
  Speaker 5: Well? People, Giants fans are funny because Giants fans have
• 26:41
  Speaker 5: sort of delusions of grandeur about where their franchise sits
• 26:45
  Speaker 5: in the overall pecking order. Where I kind of look
• 26:48
  Speaker 5: at him and you guys had two wild Card runs
• 26:52
  Speaker 5: to a super Bowl that Eli Manning pulled out of
• 26:55
  Speaker 5: his keyster. And that's the only thing that separates you
• 26:59
  Speaker 5: from the Jets for about thirty years. You guys are
• 27:03
  Speaker 5: the exact same franchise. Other than that, So this idea
• 27:07
  Speaker 5: is that, oh, John Harbaugh. I have no idea why
• 27:09
  Speaker 5: Harbaugh's taking this job. I think that he's in a
• 27:15
  Speaker 5: position where he doesn't have to worry about I need
• 27:17
  Speaker 5: to go somewhere with a quarterback. He's got a lot
• 27:21
  Speaker 5: of equity. There are a lot of franchises that would
• 27:24
  Speaker 5: trade limitless numbers of assets to have the sort of
• 27:30
  Speaker 5: disappointments that Harbaugh's had over the last five six years
• 27:33
  Speaker 5: with Jacksonville. But it is puzzling to me why he's
• 27:38
  Speaker 5: coming to this team. And maybe it's because he gets
• 27:41
  Speaker 5: more of a Satan personality. Hasn't necessarily had that in Baltimore.
• 27:46
  Speaker 5: But yeah, Giants fan seems to think that we're back,
• 27:49
  Speaker 5: and I'm like, I'm not sure when the last time
• 27:51
  Speaker 5: you were actually there.
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: Was Danny O'Neill with me. I'm going to get to
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: in a second segment, we'll kind of talk about the
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: game's elf coming up tomorrow and why you wrote about
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: why home field advantage is important. But I want to
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: go back a little bit. You I don't you, I
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: don't even know if you know off the top of
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: your head, but you covered a lot of Seahawk playoff
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: games during your ten year both at the Seattle Times
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: as their beat writer and also working at a certain
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: radio station that will go on named I ran into
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: a guy here a minute ago. Actually, there's a bunch
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: of Seahawk fans over at the Still calum Me Casino today,
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: a bunch of Seahawk fans and there are some that
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: still which is a little bit concerning because it means
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: you're not watching Aaron and the folks of Fox their
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: team that still think I'm doing Fox their team stuff.
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: But nevertheless, it's a compliment.
• 28:38
  Speaker 5: It's complic you look large in their minds.
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: Apparently. Nevertheless, you know, as I go back, I mean,
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: I know I was lucky. I saw some incredible playoff
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: games home and away with this football team over the
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: course of seventeen or so years that I was doing it.
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: You also did as well. What are the games that
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: jump out at you? And why? Because I'll say that
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: I ask you for this reason not just what you
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: share memories because I bring that up because every playoff
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: game that I can remember seems to I can probably
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: point to something that happened in the game and say, man,
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: I didn't see that coming, and that's why the game
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: was decided. If that If that makes.
• 29:13
  Speaker 5: Sense for sure. The one that probably jumps out most
• 29:18
  Speaker 5: to me that the playoff game that I remember most
• 29:22
  Speaker 5: clearly is the tip because of the anxiety that was
• 29:27
  Speaker 5: building on that drive and they were Seattle was digging
• 29:32
  Speaker 5: out of a hole that entire game. There was an
• 29:34
  Speaker 5: early fumble by Russell Wilson, and just the feeling of
• 29:40
  Speaker 5: not just relief but exultation when Sherman tipped that pass.
• 29:46
  Speaker 5: It was it was fantastic. But there are other ones
• 29:48
  Speaker 5: that stick out as well. I remember two thousand and
• 29:52
  Speaker 5: the two thousand and seventh season, sitting up in the
• 29:55
  Speaker 5: press box in green Bay and Seattle's up fourteen to zero,
• 29:59
  Speaker 5: and it I feel like, oh my gosh, they are
• 30:03
  Speaker 5: on their way and green Bay reels off forty two
• 30:06
  Speaker 5: consecutive points as it starts snowing. The game in Minnesota
• 30:12
  Speaker 5: that was so painfully cold, unbelievable, and just playing outdoors
• 30:19
  Speaker 5: in Minnesota in January that game. But you're right that
• 30:23
  Speaker 5: each game will have these little moments that will be
• 30:26
  Speaker 5: forever etched. And sometimes they make a ton of sense
• 30:30
  Speaker 5: because you can't get over them, and other times it's weird.
• 30:33
  Speaker 5: Like I will always remember in twenty twelve, Richard Sherman
• 30:37
  Speaker 5: giving Rodney White a golf class after like making a
• 30:41
  Speaker 5: reception down. It was just this little, very polite like acknowledgement, like, Okay,
• 30:45
  Speaker 5: you got one, buddy, good for you.
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I remember, well, so why do you bring up
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: twenty twelve because both those games that year when the
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: run really kind of started, and I would almost say
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: that the franchise was re energy. I all due respect
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: to the beast Quake run in twenty ten and everything else,
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: that's when things kind of started to turn back to
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: where they were, you know, when Holmegrin took him to
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: the Super Bowl and things like that, and then the
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: little dysfunction they had for a while. But I I remember,
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: you know, being in the nation's capital and you know,
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: we were doing stuff on the field for the TV
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: before the game, a pregame show, and remember like thinking,
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: this field's messed up, Like there's something wrong with this field.
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: Like from above in the press box, it looks really nice,
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: looks green. And then Max Hunger says, this is the
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: worst thing I've ever been on in my life. And
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: I said, what do you mean? And he's like, he's
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: walking off after like the early warm ups. I said,
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: what do you mean? He goes walk out. He actually
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: kind of grabbed me, walk out here, walk out here,
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: and I'm like, start walking out in the field, which
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: you know usually they go nuts, but you're the player.
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: He's like field and it was like sand. It was
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: like it was painted sand. And I thought, that's weird.
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: And then well and behold RG three blows his knee.
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: Chris Clemens blows his knee. Remember Stephen hous Goet broke
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: his ankle in that game. Like, I mean, all these
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: things happened and it was just wild. But I also
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: remember thinking, as a beat as tar at times off
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: of Washington, a really good team that day, though this
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: might be the start of something good, Like this might
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: be the start of something really really kind of special,
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: because what you just said. The next week, Richard Sherman
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: was Richard Sherman like as cocky as can be, pointing
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: a finger waggon his finger like here we go. I
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: remember that. I mean, the cold game in Minnesota was
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: special for other reasons. But I think about that game, Danny,
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: and this is why I bring it up for tomorrow.
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: Blair Walschmiths is a gimme field goal to win the game.
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: Like stuff happens in the playoffs, the pressure is different,
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: isn't it. Like you, we see things that happen that
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: normally wouldn't happen in the regular season.
• 32:33
  Speaker 5: Because everything is magnified and the desperation that teams feel
• 32:38
  Speaker 5: is real, and that that one and one and done
• 32:43
  Speaker 5: no margin for error. It changes things and it makes
• 32:47
  Speaker 5: everyone scrutinize the results. Everyone will remember the decisive moments
• 32:53
  Speaker 5: that we sort to get.
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: Do you think there's anything to coaching experience. I bring
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: that up up because when Pete got there in twenty twelve,
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: and even again twenty ten, but really the twenty twelve
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: when that started, Pete had coached in so many big
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: games at USC national championship games, like he had been
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: you know, at Notre Dame wherever it would have been,
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: but he had coached as a head coach, not as
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: a coordinator, as a head coach, and you know, he
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: had been there that this is the first go round
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: for Mike McDonald. Kyle Shanahan has been here many times before.
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: Now probably different because they're not favored, But Kyle Shannon
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: also has fallen short both as a coordinator. We all
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: know what happened to Super Bowl and also of course
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: you know with the forty nine ers as well. So
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: do you think there's anything to the coaches having that experience.
• 33:41
  Speaker 5: I definitely think that having managed a game in those
• 33:47
  Speaker 5: sort of circumstances where things are magnified and how you
• 33:50
  Speaker 5: make decisions, I do think that that helps. I wonder
• 33:54
  Speaker 5: with Kyle and having read there was a book that
• 33:58
  Speaker 5: was written about kind of him and his assistant coaches
• 34:01
  Speaker 5: to why is Everything? He's kind of got a little
• 34:04
  Speaker 5: bit of hang up where he feels that there is
• 34:08
  Speaker 5: an onus on him when it comes to winning the
• 34:10
  Speaker 5: Super Bowl. That just ridiculous. Things have happened that have
• 34:13
  Speaker 5: prevented that from occurring, going back to the Atlanta when
• 34:17
  Speaker 5: he was the offensive coordinator. So I do wonder with
• 34:20
  Speaker 5: Kyle Wall He's got a lot of experience that he also,
• 34:24
  Speaker 5: I think, can have a feeling of having a little
• 34:27
  Speaker 5: bit of a monkey on his back. The thing that
• 34:29
  Speaker 5: I'm so impressed with with Mike McDonald is how sort
• 34:33
  Speaker 5: of understated yet energetic he remains. He is someone who
• 34:39
  Speaker 5: does and seems to be very plugged into the emotions
• 34:42
  Speaker 5: of what are happening in the game, running down the
• 34:45
  Speaker 5: field after an interception, the celebrations he's got. He does
• 34:49
  Speaker 5: it in his own slightly dorky way, but he's very engaged,
• 34:53
  Speaker 5: emotional with the game. But you don't see him get frustrated,
• 34:56
  Speaker 5: and I think that that is It's not that getting
• 35:00
  Speaker 5: frustrated is bad, but I think he's got a style
• 35:03
  Speaker 5: and an approach and I haven't seen it wayver much,
• 35:06
  Speaker 5: so I'm I'm inclined to think that, yeah, this will
• 35:09
  Speaker 5: be different, it will be magnified. We'll see if it
• 35:11
  Speaker 5: affects him, but it sure seems like he's someone who's
• 35:15
  Speaker 5: pretty composed and has has a very firm established procedure
• 35:20
  Speaker 5: for the way he does.
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: Think Danny O'Neil, he's going to join us one more
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: segment stick around, we'll talk about the game itself tomorrow,
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: and Danny wrote about it. Why is home field advantage
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: so important? That's next niney three point three KJFM.
• 35:34

• 35:57
  Speaker 1: with us for one more segment. Big thanks in your
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: plus handling systems. Danny, you wrote about it, why and
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: what are the examples of why home field advantage is
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: so damn important for the Seahawks or anybody in the
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: NFL playoffs.
• 36:09
  Speaker 5: Well, you get to this stage and part of it
• 36:12
  Speaker 5: is that home field advantage it definitely used to and
• 36:16
  Speaker 5: still does largely correlate with five. If you have home
• 36:19
  Speaker 5: field advantage in the divisional round of the playoffs, it
• 36:22
  Speaker 5: used to be the top two teams that got that advised.
• 36:25
  Speaker 5: Now it's just the top team. But Seattle has had
• 36:28
  Speaker 5: home field advantage in the divisional round four times, they're
• 36:31
  Speaker 5: three and one, and in the nine times where they've
• 36:35
  Speaker 5: been on the road in this round, they're one and eight.
• 36:38
  Speaker 5: So it certainly isn't just that home field makes all
• 36:43
  Speaker 5: the difference. Home field is a signifier that you're a
• 36:46
  Speaker 5: better team. But I could remember we were talking about
• 36:50
  Speaker 5: all of the different playoff runs. There was a pattern
• 36:54
  Speaker 5: for in the years where they lost in the divisional
• 36:56
  Speaker 5: round of the playoffs on the road, which was two
• 36:59
  Speaker 5: thousand and six, two thousand and seven, twenty ten, twenty twelve,
• 37:03
  Speaker 5: two thousand and fifteen, two thousand and sixteen, two thy nineteen.
• 37:08
  Speaker 5: Every time they come back and say, we needed to
• 37:10
  Speaker 5: win more games in the regular season so we can
• 37:12
  Speaker 5: have home field in the divisional round. It's got it.
• 37:15
  Speaker 5: Now they are set up. It doesn't guarantee anything, but
• 37:18
  Speaker 5: mayn they are set up for a run to the
• 37:21
  Speaker 5: super Bowl.
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you mentioned twenty nineteen was the last time they
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: won a playoff game. That would have been the wildcard
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: weekend in Philadelphia against a forty three year old backup quarterback.
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: Because that's the last playoff game they won that We
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: go to Green Bay the next week and it was
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: a blizzard. It was fun, really fun. Not really, it
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: was fun actually in retrospect because two weeks later, a
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: month later, the world shutdown, So that was like but
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: that was their last playoff win was a wildcard win,
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: and their last two playoff wins I believe have been
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: wildcard wins, right, So you know this is a they
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: need to They need to find a way this weekend
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: to get it done. I think to Danny, the home
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: field advantage also gives you expectations that you wouldn't have,
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: and it makes an easier path. We believe Sam Donald
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: is gonna play. Is there any part of you that's
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: nervous about that?
• 38:08
  Speaker 5: Sure, a little. You don't come out of a practice
• 38:12
  Speaker 5: because everything's going great like that. It's certainly something happened,
• 38:17
  Speaker 5: And I'm generally of the belief that injuries are always
• 38:21
  Speaker 5: more serious than that anyone will let on. It's certainly
• 38:25
  Speaker 5: there's no doubt that he's going to play, and I
• 38:29
  Speaker 5: don't see Sam Donald's health making the biggest difference. If
• 38:34
  Speaker 5: it comes down to a situation where they need to
• 38:36
  Speaker 5: score forty points to and and Sam has to pick
• 38:40
  Speaker 5: put them on the back, things will have gone dramatically wrong.
• 38:43
  Speaker 5: And I think if you look at the last two
• 38:45
  Speaker 5: months of the season, Seattle has changed. The offense is
• 38:49
  Speaker 5: fundamentally different, and some of that's due to an improved
• 38:53
  Speaker 5: run game, and some of that's because they wanted to
• 38:56
  Speaker 5: dial back the amount of chances that Sam was taking.
• 38:58
  Speaker 5: That they are they know their defense and they're gonna
• 39:02
  Speaker 5: play to the strength of that, and they are perfectly
• 39:04
  Speaker 5: comfortable winning thirteen to three like they did in Week
• 39:07
  Speaker 5: eighteen against against the Niners.
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: Danny, you know, in our business, there's nothing original, ever,
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: so I'm sure that he also stole this from somebody else,
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: but I'm gonna steal it from him. You're familiar with
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: David Maler SOFTI, we call him, you know, you know,
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: I am I Am. One of my favorite segments back
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: in the day is when Sark after Dark was coaching
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: at you Dub and Softie would have him on every Friday,
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: and it was a question that was both entertaining for
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: me as a Cougar fan, mostly because it was annoying
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: to Sark as a Husky coach. So really it was
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: a perfect combination. But I honestly, it's a great question.
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: It's an awesome question, So I'm gonna ask you the
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: same thing. Thanks Softy for let me steal this. Danie O'Neill,
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: what makes you nervous about tomorrow? If you're a Seahawk fan.
• 39:52
  Speaker 5: That games never go the way you think they're gonna
• 39:54
  Speaker 5: go when you and that's especially true when you played
• 39:58
  Speaker 5: a team two weeks before. They never go the same way.
• 40:02
  Speaker 5: And as dominant as Seattle's defense was, and it was dominant,
• 40:08
  Speaker 5: you certainly have the feeling that San Francisco is going
• 40:11
  Speaker 5: to have something else or something more, whether it's Trent
• 40:15
  Speaker 5: Williams being back or Ricky Pearsall. I don't see this
• 40:19
  Speaker 5: being a carbon copy of that game. And that's what
• 40:23
  Speaker 5: makes me nervous because the team that changes in some
• 40:26
  Speaker 5: respects gets the advantage. Because Seattle comes into this game thinking, well,
• 40:31
  Speaker 5: we're not going to change what we did from last time,
• 40:33
  Speaker 5: and San Francisco looks at it like we absolutely going
• 40:37
  Speaker 5: to change everything from what we did last five. That's
• 40:40
  Speaker 5: what makes me nervous. Kyle Shanahan is one of the
• 40:43
  Speaker 5: very best coaches in the league, and I believe that
• 40:46
  Speaker 5: Seattle has a better chance against his offense, not just
• 40:50
  Speaker 5: in this game but in general with Mike McDonald's as
• 40:54
  Speaker 5: the defensive coordinator. But I certainly believe that we're going
• 40:58
  Speaker 5: to see some things in this game that they did
• 41:00
  Speaker 5: not show. They are not going to be as ineffective
• 41:04
  Speaker 5: as they were on offense in Week eight.
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: I'm with you, Danny o'nial is brought to you by

  Speaker 1: Danny I Well said in notes, I have for our
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: big roundtable we're doing later on tonight the same thing
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: like you can't. And that's why I asked you the
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: start of the game. Like the things that jump out
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: of you over the years, there's always something that happens.
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: There's always something that takes place that no one talked
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: about beforehand in a playoff game that ends up being
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: a key and what will that be tomorrow? Hopefully goes
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: seattles Way tell people about the dang Apostrophe, sir.
• 41:46
  Speaker 5: It is a newsletter that originates in New York. Occasionally
• 41:49
  Speaker 5: you'll find pictures of Christmas trees which are still proliferating
• 41:52
  Speaker 5: on the streets of New York.
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: Maybe they're growing there, Danny, have you seen are they
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: taking up roots or anything?
• 41:58
  Speaker 5: There was a win today come up off the Hudson
• 42:00
  Speaker 5: River and a Christmas tree. It wasn't a big Christmas tree,
• 42:04
  Speaker 5: but it was at least four feet tall that was
• 42:06
  Speaker 5: blowing down the street like a tumbleweed. Was freaking ridiculous.
• 42:12

• 45:10
  Speaker 5: I'm doing very well, buddy, how are you?
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: I'm good? I should also point out, you know, Rob
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: does a podcast with our friend Corbyn Smith and Andrews.
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: Who's the other guy in that podcast?
• 45:19
  Speaker 7: Sometimes his name's Anderson Hurst. I don't know if anyone's
• 45:22
  Speaker 7: ever heard of him.
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, nope, never heard him. I never heard him. I
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: think you guys, do you have one up there right
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: now that we can listen to it?
• 45:28
  Speaker 8: Absolutely.
• 45:28
  Speaker 7: We had a little preview talk San Darnold injury yesterday
• 45:31
  Speaker 7: on the Seahawks Squad Show, So check it out.
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: All right, Well, let's get to it, Rob. Let's talk
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: about Seahawks and forty nine ers real quick and what
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: that means. And we'll get to the NFL or the
• 45:41
  Speaker 1: draft and the championship game in a second, but let
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: me start there. I saw a thing this week Jeffrey Simmons,
• 45:48
  Speaker 1: one of the best defensive tackles in the National Football League,
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: throwing a lot of praise Gray Zabel's away. Of course
• 45:55
  Speaker 1: they met this year on the field. I'm gonna start
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: with Gray Zabel and maybe and Nicki min Worri and
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: just this draft class that Seattle put together. John Schneider,
• 46:04
  Speaker 1: what a terrific job this year, really the last three
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: years he's done. And is it safe to say Rob
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: Seattle is where it is right now because of the
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: work Schneider and his scouting staff have.
• 46:13
  Speaker 6: Done, No question about it. I mean, it's why that
• 46:17
  Speaker 6: Josh Shatters here was the executive of the Year in
• 46:19
  Speaker 6: the NFL.
• 46:21
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 46:21
  Speaker 6: It's it's funny because my editors at Fox sports dot
• 46:25
  Speaker 6: Com basically teased me in the hours after the twenty
• 46:30
  Speaker 6: twenty five NFL Draft where I proclaim that the Seahawks
• 46:33
  Speaker 6: had the best draft of any NFL team, and they're like,
• 46:36
  Speaker 6: you're such a homer. You know what, all this kind
• 46:38
  Speaker 6: of talking, it's like, well, you can see they really
• 46:41
  Speaker 6: did a fantastic job of acquiring talent. The fact that
• 46:44
  Speaker 6: Gray's Abel and Nick emn Worry as rookies received all
• 46:48
  Speaker 6: pro votes, you know, I think it is, you know,
• 46:52
  Speaker 6: a demonstration of that fact. And then of course, if
• 46:55
  Speaker 6: Tory Horton had been able to remain healthy all year long,
• 46:58
  Speaker 6: then he may have been getting maybe some offensive Rookie
• 47:01
  Speaker 6: of the Year of himself. So again, I just think
• 47:05
  Speaker 6: of this as a phenomenal draft class for the Seahawks
• 47:07
  Speaker 6: and one that look, the veterans of course carry this
• 47:11
  Speaker 6: franchise this year, but at the same time, I don't
• 47:14
  Speaker 6: think that Seattle would have the number one seed in
• 47:16
  Speaker 6: the NFC without this year's rookie class.
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: We talked to Great Cosell in the last hour of
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: the show and he brought up a name that we
• 47:25
  Speaker 1: haven't talked about a lot, and it was a Day
• 47:27
  Speaker 1: three pick, fifth round at a Notre Dame injured defensive tackle,
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: Riley Mills. And he really likes Riley Mills and thinks
• 47:36
  Speaker 1: maybe kind of a little bit of an X factor.
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: What was it about Riley Mills that you particularly liked
• 47:40
  Speaker 1: maybe coming out of the draft, the size.
• 47:44
  Speaker 6: He's six plit five, he toured ninety or tour in
• 47:47
  Speaker 6: eighty five pounds, his ability to play up and down
• 47:50
  Speaker 6: the line of scrimmage. Of course, if he had not
• 47:52
  Speaker 6: suffered the injury in Notre Dame's postseason run a year ago,
• 47:57
  Speaker 6: that he probably would have wound up being a second
• 48:00
  Speaker 6: worst a third round selection. And so it was just
• 48:03
  Speaker 6: basically getting in the bargain basement. And to me, again,
• 48:07
  Speaker 6: it was kind of like the cherry on top of
• 48:09
  Speaker 6: a terrific draft class. We talked a little bit about,
• 48:13
  Speaker 6: of course, the Alabama quarterback jentlem Monroe as being kind
• 48:15
  Speaker 6: of the wild card. To me, Robby Mills was kind
• 48:18
  Speaker 6: of the underrated wild card aspect of it, just because
• 48:21
  Speaker 6: this was already a good defensive line for the Seahawks,
• 48:25
  Speaker 6: but also one that very much has some aging players
• 48:28
  Speaker 6: on it, and Robby Mills the future is so bright
• 48:31
  Speaker 6: with him, and again, the versatility, I think it's something
• 48:34
  Speaker 6: that Mike McDonald and Adam Burde very much appreciated as well.
• 48:38
  Speaker 1: Jalen Sidel wasn't drafted, but he solidified himself as the
• 48:42
  Speaker 1: team center. Zabel at that left guard Cross has been
• 48:47
  Speaker 1: banged up, so these numbers don't mean as much with him,
• 48:49
  Speaker 1: but certainly Lucas and if we want to throw Bradford
• 48:52
  Speaker 1: in there, I think he's still a little a weak link,
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: but we can do that as well. Rob The Seahawks
• 48:56
  Speaker 1: in the last three weeks of the regular season ran
• 48:59
  Speaker 1: for one, one sixty three and one eighty Those are
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: the last three weeks of their running game. What they
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: did on the ground, where what do you attribute that to?
• 49:11
  Speaker 6: I think that one of the factors is just how
• 49:14
  Speaker 6: darn athletic that Seattle's offensive line is. And you mentioned
• 49:18
  Speaker 6: them all there by name, so I won't do the
• 49:20
  Speaker 6: same thing here. But you know, with the except for
• 49:23
  Speaker 6: Anthony Bradford, who I would argue is the most powerful
• 49:26
  Speaker 6: of the five, the other four are as athletic as
• 49:31
  Speaker 6: anybody else at their respective positions in all of the NFL.
• 49:35
  Speaker 6: And I think if they are just such an excellent
• 49:37
  Speaker 6: schematic fit with what uh you know, John Benton and
• 49:41
  Speaker 6: Kut Kubiak had been looking to bring. It's something that
• 49:44
  Speaker 6: they did previously at the New Orleans Saints, where they
• 49:47
  Speaker 6: invested highly in offensive lineman and it just has worked
• 49:52
  Speaker 6: out that much better here in Seattle, and you know,
• 49:55
  Speaker 6: obviously a lot of the credit should.
• 49:57
  Speaker 5: Go to Seattle defense.
• 49:59
  Speaker 6: But I I also think that the numbers that you
• 50:02
  Speaker 6: just mentioned as far as how productive they were running
• 50:05
  Speaker 6: the football, especially in these last three weeks. Is the
• 50:08
  Speaker 6: weather starts to turn, I think the running game is
• 50:11
  Speaker 6: just that much more important. And Seatle's offensive line has
• 50:15
  Speaker 6: been a huge factor in that. The running backs certainly
• 50:18
  Speaker 6: are talented, but the offensive line is allowing them to
• 50:21
  Speaker 6: look perhaps even better than they would in different systems.
• 50:27

  Speaker 1: local when you're watching the game this weekend for atleastizza
• 51:00
  Speaker 1: for atleastpizza dot com all right, Rob, let's get in.
• 51:04
  Speaker 1: We'll transition a little bit to college because we're not
• 51:06
  Speaker 1: going to be on the air Monday, we get cracking hockey.
• 51:08
  Speaker 1: But I do want to touch on a little bit
• 51:09
  Speaker 1: on the Miami Indiana game in a second before I
• 51:13
  Speaker 1: get to that big news this week, Dante Moore decides
• 51:16
  Speaker 1: he's coming back to the University of Oregon, and we'll
• 51:19
  Speaker 1: get into it as we get close to the draft
• 51:21
  Speaker 1: and deadlines and all that, and depending on what goes
• 51:24
  Speaker 1: on next week, maybe kind of put a little bit
• 51:26
  Speaker 1: more of a spin on who's in, who's out, who's
• 51:28
  Speaker 1: coming back, all those fun things. But Rob, what does
• 51:31
  Speaker 1: the Dante Moore decision mean for the draft as far
• 51:35
  Speaker 1: as quarterbacks concerned? And maybe even start with do you
• 51:39
  Speaker 1: think it was the right choice for Dante Moore?
• 51:41
  Speaker 6: I do think it was the right choice for his
• 51:43
  Speaker 6: long term development as an NFL quarterback, because we saw
• 51:48
  Speaker 6: in Oregon's you know, humbling loss to Indiana that this
• 51:52
  Speaker 6: is the quarterback that had a talent. But he is
• 51:54
  Speaker 6: still just sorry for the pun here, a little bit green,
• 51:58
  Speaker 6: you know. I mean, this is a quarterback who know
• 52:00
  Speaker 6: only has roughly I believe it's sixteen college starts under
• 52:05
  Speaker 6: his resume, and that is just, you know, hugely concerning that.
• 52:09
  Speaker 6: The number of quarterbacks that have gone into the NFL
• 52:12
  Speaker 6: with under twenty career starts to college level and then
• 52:16
  Speaker 6: had success in the NFL is very, very small, and
• 52:21
  Speaker 6: so I think that it is a good decision for
• 52:23
  Speaker 6: Dante Moore. Obviously, it's going to make Conducks fans out
• 52:26
  Speaker 6: there feel very good about their national championship possibilities.
• 52:31
  Speaker 5: I think it's one of the very few.
• 52:33
  Speaker 6: Positives of all of the NIL and transfer policy and
• 52:37
  Speaker 6: all that kind of stuff. To me, there's a lot
• 52:39
  Speaker 6: of negatives here, but it is allowing quarterbacks and other
• 52:43
  Speaker 6: positions as well, but especially quarterbacks, to just truly assess
• 52:47
  Speaker 6: where they are. He would have been a top five selection.
• 52:50
  Speaker 6: There's just too much need in the NFL for quarterbacks now.
• 52:55
  Speaker 6: I think that easily Fernando Mendoz is going to be
• 52:58
  Speaker 6: the number one overall selection. I think there's a possibility
• 53:00
  Speaker 6: that Alabama quarterback Ty Simpson is also going to be
• 53:04
  Speaker 6: a top fifteen selection. He should not be, but he
• 53:08
  Speaker 6: might wind up going that early. Just again because of
• 53:10
  Speaker 6: the desperation Dante Moore would have been between the two
• 53:14
  Speaker 6: of them. In terms of Fernando Mendezo again would have
• 53:17
  Speaker 6: got number one, and then I think there's a good
• 53:19
  Speaker 6: chance that Dante Moore would have gone number two overall
• 53:22
  Speaker 6: to the New York Jets. I applaud the young man's
• 53:24
  Speaker 6: decision here. To me, it shows a great deal of
• 53:26
  Speaker 6: maturity and also shows of course the deep pockets of
• 53:29
  Speaker 6: the boosters at the University of Oregon. Of course, but
• 53:32
  Speaker 6: again I think that it is the best in the
• 53:34
  Speaker 6: long run for Dante More.
• 53:38
  Speaker 1: He's a little different in terms of, you know, the
• 53:42
  Speaker 1: number of starts, because the player I'm gonna mention had
• 53:44
  Speaker 1: a bunch at the FCS level and then two years
• 53:46
  Speaker 1: at Wazoo. But I kind of liken it a little
• 53:49
  Speaker 1: bit to the cam Ward decision, you know. I mean
• 53:51
  Speaker 1: cam Ward after his second year in Pullman was was
• 53:54
  Speaker 1: going you know, there's talk about him going out. He
• 53:56
  Speaker 1: actually I think I think he did the test, He
• 53:58
  Speaker 1: did the evaluation right where you see where you might
• 54:01
  Speaker 1: be drafted, and he wasn't going to be a first rounder,
• 54:03
  Speaker 1: and he made the decision to go transfer to Miami
• 54:06
  Speaker 1: and lo and behold, he ends up being the number
• 54:08
  Speaker 1: one guy overall and as year went on. I think
• 54:09
  Speaker 1: we started to see the talent, right Like, I think
• 54:12
  Speaker 1: cam kind of was a test case. And I don't
• 54:15
  Speaker 1: know if Dante Moore looked at that or not, but
• 54:17
  Speaker 1: I don't think cam Ward would have been the same
• 54:19
  Speaker 1: player coming out if he hadn't play that year at
• 54:21
  Speaker 1: the University of Miami.
• 54:23
  Speaker 6: No question about it. Having conversations, including with scouts the
• 54:27
  Speaker 6: Tennessee Titans, the belief was that that cam Ward was
• 54:33
  Speaker 6: a second to third round pick at best prior to
• 54:37
  Speaker 6: that final season University of Miami where everything just kind
• 54:40
  Speaker 6: of came together in his natural talent really rose to
• 54:43
  Speaker 6: the forefront. I just think that when Dantey Moore like
• 54:47
  Speaker 6: cam Ward, you can see the talent, but at the
• 54:50
  Speaker 6: same time, it really you need to have the maturity
• 54:54
  Speaker 6: to be able to, you know, to look these men
• 54:57
  Speaker 6: in the eye and NFL huddle and when are you know,
• 55:01
  Speaker 6: barely shaving. It's a lot more difficult to be able
• 55:05
  Speaker 6: to do so. And I just think that the experience
• 55:09
  Speaker 6: you know that he is going to get at Oregon
• 55:12
  Speaker 6: and all these high profile games just going to make
• 55:14
  Speaker 6: him that much better suited to have success. And on
• 55:18
  Speaker 6: the cam Wood note, I mean, we saw that Ward
• 55:21
  Speaker 6: had some flashes here as a rookie with Tennessee, but
• 55:24
  Speaker 6: also the Titans did not have that much success. I mean,
• 55:26
  Speaker 6: they're gonna be selecting the top five overall themselves. That's
• 55:30
  Speaker 6: what I anticipated that or that's why I believe that
• 55:33
  Speaker 6: Dante Moore would have experienced had he gone, say to
• 55:36
  Speaker 6: the New York Jets or one of those other quarterback
• 55:38
  Speaker 6: needy things early in the first round, is that he
• 55:41
  Speaker 6: would have wound up struggling because he is not yet
• 55:44
  Speaker 6: equipped to be the savior that franchises are hoping for
• 55:48
  Speaker 6: at the quarterback position if they're going to be investing
• 55:50
  Speaker 6: in a top five pick.
• 55:51
  Speaker 1: Rob ring Bridge by fairly speech of Fairlyespeza dot Com.
• 55:53
  Speaker 1: All right, real fast before we get some Indiana and
• 55:57
  Speaker 1: Miami on Monday, Oregon also got their top defensive lineman back.
• 56:00
  Speaker 1: Is that right? Is that right?
• 56:02
  Speaker 6: That is true?
• 56:03
  Speaker 5: Uh?
• 56:03
  Speaker 6: Yeah, they got a couple. We talked a lot about
• 56:05
  Speaker 6: Matteo Hui a Gialle, the edge rusher for Oregon. Tayum
• 56:10
  Speaker 6: Tuilo I also returned Amori Washington. They got three defensive
• 56:16
  Speaker 6: linemen in that are returning for their senior seasons at Oregon.
• 56:20
  Speaker 6: So look, obviously all the focus is going to be
• 56:23
  Speaker 6: on the quarterback for you know, for good reason. But
• 56:26
  Speaker 6: at the same time, Oregon is returning most of their
• 56:29
  Speaker 6: best players from this past year, so I expect another
• 56:33
  Speaker 6: return to the playoffs for the University of Oregon next year.
• 56:36
  Speaker 1: Rob Eran joining us. All right, let's get to the
• 56:37
  Speaker 1: championship game. You got an article the start out today,
• 56:40
  Speaker 1: it'll be out soon. Fox sports dot com top ten
• 56:42
  Speaker 1: prospects playing in the championship Game on Monday with Miami
• 56:45
  Speaker 1: and the University of Indiana. So let's go through this.
• 56:49
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna kind of go in the middle. First, You've
• 56:51
  Speaker 1: got Carson Beck is number six. We just talked about
• 56:54
  Speaker 1: Dante Moore. Where will Carson Beck go? And we're just
• 56:58
  Speaker 1: a two part of Rob, will Carson Beck go? Where
• 57:01
  Speaker 1: should he go?
• 57:04
  Speaker 6: I think the Carson Beck is going to go about
• 57:06
  Speaker 6: where he should go, and that's going to be on
• 57:08
  Speaker 6: day two. Now that Carson Beck is a quarterback that
• 57:12
  Speaker 6: is a maddeningly inconsistent It's just about any quarterback I've
• 57:16
  Speaker 6: ever seen. But at the same time, when you have
• 57:19
  Speaker 6: the number of starts that he has and Monday night
• 57:22
  Speaker 6: will be his fifty fifth start at the college level.
• 57:26
  Speaker 6: Of course, they all came either at Miami this year
• 57:29
  Speaker 6: or previously at the University of Georgia, So you're talking
• 57:32
  Speaker 6: about elite competition. He has the physical traits that you're
• 57:35
  Speaker 6: looking for. He's got a career three to one touchdown
• 57:39
  Speaker 6: to interception ratio. I mean, this is a talented quarterback.
• 57:43
  Speaker 6: Now again, he is maddeningly inconsistent. Anybody who watched him,
• 57:48
  Speaker 6: you know, throw four interceptions in an ugly loss to Louisville.
• 57:52
  Speaker 6: You know, we would say this guy doesn't deserve to
• 57:54
  Speaker 6: be drafted. But at the same time, one of the
• 57:57
  Speaker 6: things I've learned over the years and having converseations and
• 58:00
  Speaker 6: NFL scouts and NFL decision makers is that it's not
• 58:04
  Speaker 6: so much about you know, talking about a player at
• 58:06
  Speaker 6: his lowest point, talked about his highest point. What NFL
• 58:10
  Speaker 6: teams believe that they can kind of coax and coach
• 58:14
  Speaker 6: the talent out of these players at his best, Carson
• 58:18
  Speaker 6: Beck is one of the most accurate quarterbacks in this
• 58:21
  Speaker 6: draft class.
• 58:21
  Speaker 5: And again after.
• 58:22
  Speaker 6: Fernando Mendoza, it's basically just kind of picked your poisons
• 58:26
  Speaker 6: at that quarterback spot because I don't see any sure things.
• 58:30
  Speaker 6: I think a player with his physical traits, his experience,
• 58:34
  Speaker 6: he's going to find up being selected somewhere on Day
• 58:36
  Speaker 6: two and perhaps be a possible starter early in his
• 58:41
  Speaker 6: NFL career.
• 58:42
  Speaker 1: We've talked a lot about the edge rushers from Miami
• 58:45
  Speaker 1: this season. On Monday, that'll be one of the storylines,
• 58:48
  Speaker 1: There's no doubt about that. Let's talk about a guy
• 58:51
  Speaker 1: that's going to see those dudes, Carter Smith, offensive tackle
• 58:53
  Speaker 1: for Indiana. What kind of player is this guy and
• 58:56
  Speaker 1: what kind of matchup is that between those two edge
• 58:58
  Speaker 1: guys from Miami and and Carter Smith from Indiana.
• 59:02
  Speaker 6: I love that you're mentioning this matchup because everybody's of
• 59:05
  Speaker 6: course going to focus in on the quarterbacks. But I
• 59:08
  Speaker 6: think that this game is going to come down to
• 59:10
  Speaker 6: the lion scrimmage, as most football games do. Carter Smith
• 59:12
  Speaker 6: is the left tackle for Indiana, and we've seeing talented
• 59:16
  Speaker 6: offensive tackles from Indiana in the past, but back when
• 59:19
  Speaker 6: the Hoosiers were a little bit more of a you know,
• 59:22
  Speaker 6: a spread offense that would prioritize agility and athletic ability
• 59:28
  Speaker 6: rather than physicality and size and strength. And Carl Smith's
• 59:32
  Speaker 6: a little bit of a throwback in that way. Six
• 59:36
  Speaker 6: three hundred and sixteen pounder, he has been a three
• 59:39
  Speaker 6: year star, thirty six consecutive games, all at the left
• 59:42
  Speaker 6: tackle position. I don't know that he's got.
• 59:45
  Speaker 5: Quite the long arms that you want.
• 59:47
  Speaker 6: To be a left tackle in the NFL, but I
• 59:49
  Speaker 6: think that he can come in and play guard pretty quickly.
• 59:52
  Speaker 6: And again that's rare because in the past you'd see,
• 59:56
  Speaker 6: you know, we've heard Josh Sneider kind of be moaning
• 59:58
  Speaker 6: the fact that most offensive tackle in college are playout
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 6: of two point stance. Indiana will get down in a
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 6: three point stance and move people at the line of scrimmage.
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 6: I love the matchup between he and Miami's just two
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 6: headed monster that they have at the edge rusher position,
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 6: Reuben Bain Junior and a team mesidor both of them
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 6: are likely going to be, if not first round selections,
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 6: then early second day picks. I think that Carter Smith
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 6: has a chance to be in that conversation is when
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 6: all three of them should be off the boards in
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 6: the top fifty pick.
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 1: Let's talk about the other side of the line of scrimmage,
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 1: and that would be Indiana's defensive line, which has just
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 1: been terrific all season, maybe not the same star power.
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 1: They're going against a pretty good offensive tackle from Miami.
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 6: They absolutely, they absolutely are, and Francis Mayoga, to me,
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 6: he is the best offensive lineman this draft class team,
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 6: and I don't think it's even close. You know. Of course,
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 6: Mario Cristobal is the head coach of Miami previously at Oregon,
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 6: and he developed a player in Penne s Well, who
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 6: of course has now become one of the best in
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 6: all of the NFL at the right tackle position. It's
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 6: you know, it's difficult to compare any college player to
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 6: a guy that I think, you know has probably a
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 6: bust in Canton when it's all said and done in
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 6: Penne Sewel. But you're talking about a guy who was
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 6: a five star recruit, could have gone anywhere in the
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 6: country out of IMG Academy, always going to start the
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 6: first three seasons of his college career. He has only
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 6: allowed a couple of sacks over that entire time. And
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 6: just the size he's six foot six, he's three hundred
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 6: and thirty pounds, is not any fat on him really,
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 6: I mean, he is just an absolute block of granite
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 6: and he just controls people with his hands. He's not
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 6: the flashiest of athletes, and so I think some speed
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 6: rushers could give him trouble. You mentioned how talented Indiana.
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 5: Is up front.
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 6: They do an awful lot of twists and stunts. They're talented.
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 6: Especially they have an edge rusher who I think is
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 6: particularly going to be a difficult challenge for Marioga. But
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 6: at the same time, Marioga could just move people at
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 6: the Lion scrimmage, similar to what we talked about with
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 6: Carter Smith. Again, with Marioga, well I could see happening.
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 6: It's him coming into the NFL and initially playing guard.
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 6: I think he could be an absolute all Pro caliber
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 6: player at that guard position, relatively early in his career,
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 6: ultimately moving back outside to the right tackle position, where
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 6: again I think he's going to wind up proving himself
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 6: to be a long, long time difference maker in the NFL.
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 1: One more guy I want to talk about in the matchup.
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 1: I feel like this player hasn't been talked about much
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 1: this season, especially weird because he had a Heisman Trophy
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 1: winning quarterback throwing to him, and that would be a
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 1: mari Cooper, the wide receiver from Indiana against that secondary
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 1: for the Miami Hurricanes, and I bring his name up
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 1: because your comp I think is going to be Christian Kirk,
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 1: which is pretty good time in considering the game he
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 1: had last week.
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 6: Well, and that's the thing with the Cooper. You're talking
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 6: about a guy who has more touchdowns twenty one than
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 6: he has games started seventeen over his college career. And
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 6: he's actually, you know, kind of like Christian Kirk, and
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 6: Seahawk fans might remember Golden Tate more than they know
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 6: Christian Kirk. But basically six ft two hundred and five pounds,
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 6: almost more like a running back and then a wide receiver,
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 6: especially once he gets the ball in his hands. And
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 6: this is the guy is just a playmaker. I mean,
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 6: he can be very effective on those you know, a
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 6: little quick those quick screens and you know, plays like that.
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 6: He can be a punt returner. He had a seventy
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 6: four yard touchdown against Ohio State a couple of years ago.
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 6: He caught the toe tapping touchdown the final seconds from
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 6: the Heisman Trophy winner Fernando Mendoza to beat Penn State
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 6: earlier this season. He just has a knack of making
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 6: big plays at critical moments and you know I'd be
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 6: remiss we had mentioned Indiana's other receivers Elijah Surat six
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 6: foot two to two hundred and twenty pounder, Charlie Becker
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 6: for four tour and ten pounders. Indiana has got a
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 6: lot of differently sized, shaped, speed type of players that
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 6: make it that much easier for Minden for four Fernando
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 6: Mendoza to attack all levels of the field.
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 1: Great stuff Fox sports dot com. Look for Rob's article
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 1: there with the top guys, also guys that have declaring
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 1: and all that. We got draft covers going on. Real quick, Rob,
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 1: I got to go in about twenty seconds. Do you
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 1: expect based on the talent that you're familiar with on
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 1: both sides of the ball, on both sides for both
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 1: these teams, do you expect it to be a close
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 1: game on Monday?
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 6: I do? I do. I think that that Miami has
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 6: the edge in termed physicality and the line of scrimmage.
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 6: I think that Fernando Mendoza has just proven I was
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 6: a critic of him early on, but he has absolutely proven.
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 6: You know, he silenced me any other critics. I think
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 6: ultimately with Dustin Dundee, who Indiana Hoosiers are going to
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 6: be wind up being national champions man.
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 1: We'll talk to you next week one way or the other.
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 1: Rob more to talk about more to converse with Fox
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 1: sports dot Com are our draft insider. You can all
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 1: also catch him on the Locked On podcast with some
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 1: guy named Anders and uh and the great corbyin Smith
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 1: as well. Thanks, my friend, I appreciate it.
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 6: Looking forward and talker as always, Ian, Take care.
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 1: Rob rang listen, We'll take a break, we'll come back.
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 1: We'll check the text line four nine four five one.
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 1: That's the Tacoma Dodge text line. How you feel in
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 1: Seahawks fans? How we feel a nervous confident. Let's get
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 1: your thoughts next nine three point three.
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 9: K FM, Now back to Football Friday sponsored by Tito's
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 9: Handmate Vodka on your home for the UNFL Sports.
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 10: Radio ninety three point three.
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 1: L Let'll get the text here in a second. I
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 1: just saw this, so I guess. So the top, the
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 1: top quarterback in the portals going to Miami next year
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 1: a Duke. But but I think there's a thing with that.
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 1: I think Duke is going to try to pull a
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 1: demon Williams. Yep, right, Yeah, They're gonna try to hold
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 1: him to it. He signed a two year contract with
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 1: with Duke Right. Yes, yeah, that would be Darien Mensa.
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 1: I also saw this. This is my favorite. This that
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 1: that'll take care of itself and we'll watch with great glee,
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 1: unless you Mark James and he'll he'll watch every second
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 1: of it. See what happens. Malaki Nelson, UTEP quarterback is
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 1: going to Syracuse. Let me give you the rundown of
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 1: his resume for you. This is where mess is all
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 1: messed up. College football is five star out of high school,
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 1: top quarterback. When the top two or three quarterbacks in
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 1: the country started at USC went to Boise State, went
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 1: to UTEP, now going to Syracuse. Four schools. I don't know, buddy,
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 1: Maybe you're just not that good. Maybe you're just not
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 1: that what's.
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 8: The common denominator for things not working here?
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 1: It would be Malachi Nelson's anders. I mean, I get,
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 1: I think the hard thing is, I know it is
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 1: this a bothers me?
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 6: You know.
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 1: Part of it is when you're a five star quarterback.
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 1: Sam Heward went through the same stuff, goes to Washington
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 1: dipstick coach Jimmy Lake makes them go there, leave high
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 1: school early, like literally forced them go early, goes there,
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 1: gets thrown to the fire in the Apple Cup, And
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 1: I like Sam, that was garbage what they did to
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 1: him instead of Dylan Morris playing that game. I love
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 1: the fact that we beat the Brakes off. That was cool,
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 1: but it just started a downward spiral for and your
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 1: expectations are so high when you have all those stars
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 1: next to your name, much less in il stuff. But yeah,
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 1: it's just we're ruining kids. Man, as many kids as
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 1: we're making millionaires, we're ruining a lot of other kids.
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 1: All right, let's get to the text four nine four
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 1: or five one the Tacoma Dots text line. I asked everyone,
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 1: I said, how we feel and see, let's just gauge
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 1: the barometer out there, see how it thinks. My favorite
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 1: one came in. Let me see. Oh god, we've already
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 1: had more time come in. I gotta find this one.
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 1: Let's see extremely, extremely confident, no worries at all. Save
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 1: all the doubt and worries for the Rams next week.
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 8: Really, it might not even be the Rams next week.
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 8: I'd be happy if it wasn't the Rems next week.
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 1: We're big Bears fans, Yes we are right.
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 8: I think I think they have a chance to.
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 1: I'm fired up at nervous at the same time. This
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 1: is my first year that I've been getting literally sick
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 1: nauseous watching these games. I'm praying that we win. I
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 1: believe go Hawks.
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 8: It means you care. It means you care.
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 1: Let's see. Nervous is heck? But very confident too nervous
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 1: because they are so young. Confident because they are so
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 1: damn good. I like it.
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I like it to two six. I love this one.
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 7: More confident than a hooker on island with a thousand
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 7: men overdosing on viagra, no worries at all.
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 1: Wow, can you overdose on viagra?
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 8: I think I don't think so.
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 9: Isn't it a heart thing?
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 2: Though?
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 1: Isn't the danger in that? I? Well, I was told
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 1: by someone else. I've got to actually, I've actually got
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 1: to be careful with this. I can tell you I've
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 1: never used it, but or even a blue choo, to
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 1: be honest with you. Easy. One of those we had
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 1: friends we lived in Vancouver, America's Vancouver America's Vancouver, Ventucky
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 1: and close friends of ours. Our kids play sports together,
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 1: and she, the wife, was a pharmaceutical rep and one
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 1: of her things was viagrant, and I said, hey, man,
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 1: why don't you give me one? See how it works
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 1: like I want to. And my wife looks at me like,
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 1: are you kidding? And I said and and then and
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 1: she says, do you need it? And I said loaded question?
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 1: I said business, I said, if I'm being honest, no,
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 1: And she says, all we would do is give you
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 1: a headache. It would literally give you interesting. Yeah, so
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know why. I said, I
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 1: don't know if you can overdose on that stuff. Let's
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 1: see my feelings regarding the Hawks burning confidence with a
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 1: side of soul crushing doubt. So a Seahawks fan.
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 8: Yeah, sounds very much a Seahawks fan.
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 7: But this is so good, so good because it's like, yeah,
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 7: we have the better team, but it's like I'm also like,
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 7: we'll be devastated if we lose.
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 8: It's always a roller coaster too. I like this confidence
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 8: here from the two O six. The duct tape can't
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 8: hold the Niners any longer.
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 1: The Hawks roll thirty two to ten. I will I
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 1: will tell you this. I ran into a former NFL player,
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 1: including time with the Seahawks up here at Hawks Peak
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 1: about an hour ago. Okay, he was wandering around with
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 1: his kids, and I said what do you think? He says,
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 1: two touchdowns? And then I said what do you think
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 1: about rams Bears? He goes, I wouldn't touch that thing
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 1: with a ten football, don't chance. And probably because a
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 1: lot of the weather.
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 8: Right, oh right, yeah, yeah, exactly exactly.
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 1: So like you don't know, worried about a desperate wounded
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 1: team trick plays must be weary.
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I could totally see that well.
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 1: And Cosell brought that up. Yeah right, Coselle brought that up.
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 1: Cosselle brought that up early on the one o'clock hour.
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 1: He said, Hey, I don't you know, like they're gonna
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 1: do something. There's gonna be some Harry high school stuff.
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 1: As our friends you Milan would say, there gonna be
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 1: some Harry Heiks cool stuff going on with with him
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 1: with Kyle Shanahan along the way. God, that is such
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 1: a good one though, I mean goodness, me like my
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 1: feelings regarding the Hawks, burning confidence with a side of soul,
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 1: crushing doubts with Seahawks man is.
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 7: Man because Mariner fan that's different than Marion fan, because
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 7: Marion fan would just be soul crushing doubt and like,
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 7: I won't believe it until I see it, but the
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 7: confidence part tells you that, you like, that's Seahawks have
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 7: done this before, and they have the history, and they
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 7: have done in the regular season too.
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 1: Seven point five Mike McDonald's defense. That's all that needs
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 1: to be set fair enough, Okay, okay, about a five?
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 1: Like most games is Marcus still don't trust the offense.
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 8: The highest scoring offense the NFL.
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 1: That's so weird though, what happened two weeks ago. But
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 1: Danny's right, like and Cosell and Danny both said the
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 1: same thing. What happened two weeks ago has zero to
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 1: do what's gonna happen tomorrow, right, Like, It's just different game,
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 1: different circumstances, different everything. I just I don't think that
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 1: San Francisco has enough weapons if they were one hundred
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 1: percent healthy and on offense, and I guess that would
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 1: only include meaning what what's his face?
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 8: Uh?
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 1: Kiddle will be back because Yuk's been gone all year, right,
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 1: so that would be it. Piersol, I guess yeah, Kiddle
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 1: and piersall add those two guys in the list. Are
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 1: they still it's still Mike McDonald's defense. Yeah, they're playing
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 1: at a really high level.
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 7: I do like what Danny said though about like in
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 7: terms of adjustments from week eighteen, you're the forty nine ers,
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 7: you absolutely are going to be making adjustments. If you're
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 7: the Seahawks, you're like, well, we just played them two
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 7: weeks ago. Is our last game that we played and
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 7: we dominated them. What do we need to adjust at
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 7: this point? So you're kind of behind the eight ball
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 7: in that sense. But good teams, even when they win,
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 7: still make adjustments.
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 8: So I don't know.
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, let's see two oh six. I don't drink or
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 1: do drugs or anything. And one time it took two

  Speaker 10: We had great seats in New England until Russell or Glendale,
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 10: until Russell Wilson decided to throw a pick right in

• 1:19:27
  Speaker 1: No, I want to rematch with the Patriots. But that
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 1: has nothing to do with anything other than finance, right,
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 1: and certain things that are on the line.
• 1:19:36
  Speaker 10: And if Buffalo is in the game, Oh, you mean,
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 10: like I bet you got I got yeah ticket, you're
• 1:19:40
  Speaker 10: gonna say, if Buffalo is in the game, forget it.
• 1:19:42
  Speaker 10: You're not getting in the front door for under ten
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 10: thousand bucks in that game.
• 1:19:45
  Speaker 1: I mean, that'll be a home game for them, won't it.
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 1: Even if it's like for Buffalo, like that whole city
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 1: would would find a way to I.
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 2: Mean it's gonna be wild. I mean the market right
• 1:19:54
  Speaker 2: now is nuts.
• 1:19:54
  Speaker 10: I've been reading where ticket prices are at all time
• 1:19:57
  Speaker 10: record highs for the divisional games for this weekend.
• 1:19:59
  Speaker 2: You know, my have you looked king, I.

• 1:20:07
  Speaker 10: at those tickets now.
• 1:20:08
  Speaker 2: I mean, you got a month before the game.
• 1:20:10
  Speaker 10: You gotta wait until like the week before the game
• 1:20:12
  Speaker 10: to see what they're really going for.
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 1: Did you what'd you pay in New York? In Arizona?
• 1:20:18
  Speaker 2: Oh god, Arizona. I well, I'll tell you this.

  Speaker 10: I got offered forty thousand dollars for my four seats
• 1:20:24
  Speaker 10: for that game.
• 1:20:25
  Speaker 2: It airs all to myself.
• 1:20:26
  Speaker 10: Then I got to go buy four more tickets from
• 1:20:28
  Speaker 10: somebody else, and maybe I can do that and make
• 1:20:30
  Speaker 10: a couple thousand bucks. But I don't remember what I paid.
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 10: It was a lot of money. My mom and dad
• 1:20:34
  Speaker 10: bought a pair. I bought a pair for me and Gina,
• 1:20:37
  Speaker 10: and then went to the game in New York with
• 1:20:38
  Speaker 10: some friends and I think ten eleven years ago, we're
• 1:20:41
  Speaker 10: paying fifteen hundred, couple thousand bucks maybe a ticket to
• 1:20:44
  Speaker 10: get in the door. But I mean that was ten
• 1:20:46
  Speaker 10: years ago, dude, it was yeah, eleven years ago. I
• 1:20:48
  Speaker 10: mean two thousand and six Detroit Seahawks.
• 1:20:51
  Speaker 1: I think of our tickets were like what dick like
• 1:20:53
  Speaker 1: four hundred bucks to get in the door, and we
• 1:20:55
  Speaker 1: had fifty yard.
• 1:20:56
  Speaker 10: Line seats for that game. This is how long it's been,
• 1:20:58
  Speaker 10: by the way, since that first souper. You want to
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 10: hear how long it's been in the radio station actually
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 10: paid for our seats for that game.
• 1:21:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they paid for our seats. That's how much has
• 1:21:10
  Speaker 2: changed in this business twenty years ago.
• 1:21:13
  Speaker 1: That's hysterical. Is there any part of you that wish
• 1:21:15
  Speaker 1: you would have sold those tickets in Arizona? And not?
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 1: That's why you know what, That's why you slay the
• 1:21:23
  Speaker 1: dragon starting tomorrow. There you knock off the forty nine ers,
• 1:21:27
  Speaker 1: and hell, what the hell bring on the rams knocked
• 1:21:29
  Speaker 1: them off as well, and right and anything the AFC
• 1:21:32
  Speaker 1: throws at you. At that point, I forget it's a
• 1:21:35
  Speaker 1: nothing burger. I thought about going Baz Road.
• 1:21:37
  Speaker 10: I honestly thought about going to Toronto for Game seven,
• 1:21:39
  Speaker 10: and then Andrews reminded me that Toronto Blue Jay fans
