- 0:21Speaker 4: We tried, weaved all him.
- 0:22Speaker 2: We ran it through our marketing team, and that's what
- 0:25Speaker 2: we came up with.
- 0:27Speaker 5: Chuck, are you the marketing team to be honest, well,
- 0:32Speaker 5: you know what I like.
- 0:33Speaker 2: We're on a zoom call right here, and last week
- 0:35Speaker 2: it looked like you were in your sun room and
- 0:36Speaker 2: then sun not your son's room, but your sunroom.
- 0:40Speaker 1: And then this week you're down looks like the guest
- 0:44Speaker 1: guest maybe.
- 0:45Speaker 3: Room for I'm on the road, on the roads.
- 0:50Speaker 5: I'm in the mountains of North Carolina right now, I'm
- 0:52Speaker 5: in Appalachia. It's uh yeah, but this actually might be better.
- 0:57Speaker 5: You know, I hit the sun hits in my office
- 1:00Speaker 5: right so eight o'clock eleven o'clock on the East coast,
- 1:04Speaker 5: so I need to shut the blinds next time I'm
- 1:06Speaker 5: on with you.
- 1:06Speaker 3: I was blinded last last week.
- 1:09Speaker 2: I was going to offer you two thousand dollars a
- 1:11Speaker 2: month just to live in your guest room.
- 1:12Speaker 1: That's what I was going to offer. It just looks
- 1:13Speaker 1: really nice and cozy there.
- 1:15Speaker 5: But so I'm in Boone, North Carolina, home of app State,
- 1:18Speaker 5: and this thing came out like top I saw on
- 1:21Speaker 5: Instagram best stadiums in college football to see a game,
- 1:24Speaker 5: and number one was actually Husky Stadium you dubbed. I
- 1:27Speaker 5: thought that was pretty cool. Number two was here in Boone,
- 1:29Speaker 5: North Carolina, APP State. So yeah, it was you know,
- 1:32Speaker 5: people are fighting over it. I'm sure, like you know,
- 1:35Speaker 5: what about Colorado? What about Utah? What about you know,
- 1:38Speaker 5: all the different places. But yeah, I'm excited to be here.
- 1:42Speaker 1: What brings you there?
- 1:44Speaker 5: As if I don't know, Well, my son just's in
- 1:48Speaker 5: this craziness of the transfer portal. So he was at
- 1:50Speaker 5: UCLA for two years, red shirt freshman, fore head coaches
- 1:55Speaker 5: in two years.
- 1:55Speaker 3: Kind of crazy. That's college football right now, very screwed up.
- 1:59Speaker 3: And yeah, so we were in that whole world.
- 2:02Speaker 5: And and so he's at APP State now and so
- 2:05Speaker 5: we went from LA to Boone, North Carolina. It's very different,
- 2:10Speaker 5: but very very awesome. We're excited a lot of celebrity
- 2:13Speaker 5: excitings there.
- 2:14Speaker 1: Do you see George Clooney while you're at app State?
- 2:17Speaker 1: You know.
- 2:17Speaker 5: So it's funny because like you know, it's we went
- 2:20Speaker 5: from you know, twenty five dollars smoothies named after an
- 2:22Speaker 5: actress you know, in La to uh here we are
- 2:25Speaker 5: here where like Cookout has a line down the street,
- 2:28Speaker 5: you know, not complaining. I like Cookout, but very different.
- 2:33Speaker 1: That's great.
- 2:34Speaker 2: Matt Hasselbeca is with us, so we've got him in
- 2:37Speaker 2: the playoffs every Wednesday at eight o'clock and so let's
- 2:40Speaker 2: dive into this matchup. But your first reaction, your gut
- 2:43Speaker 2: reaction when you saw how the Wildcar weekend was unfolding
- 2:47Speaker 2: and you realized, oh man, we're gonna have face the
- 2:50Speaker 2: forty nine ers again.
- 2:51Speaker 5: Well, first of all, the weekend lived up to the hype.
- 2:53Speaker 5: Like I think it's the most fun weekend of football.
- 2:55Speaker 5: It's not necessarily the best football. The best football to
- 2:58Speaker 5: me is the AFC NFC Championship week That's the best
- 3:01Speaker 5: football you'll see all.
- 3:02Speaker 3: Year anywhere on the planet.
- 3:04Speaker 5: But wild Card weekend is like when all the crazy
- 3:06Speaker 5: stuff happens like it's It's called wildcard weekend for a reason.
- 3:10Speaker 3: And I don't think a lot of people thought the
- 3:12Speaker 3: forty nine ers.
- 3:12Speaker 5: Is banged up as they were, could go on the
- 3:14Speaker 5: road and beat the defending world champs in Philly.
- 3:18Speaker 3: You know, as a player, I.
- 3:19Speaker 5: Can tell you that it helps when you go to
- 3:21Speaker 5: Philly when their home fans start booing them after they
- 3:24Speaker 5: go three and out one time in the first quarter,
- 3:26Speaker 5: like it's kind of a I enjoy that, you know.
- 3:29Speaker 5: I remember going back there in five with Reggie White.
- 3:32Speaker 5: They were going to retire his number at halftime Monday
- 3:35Speaker 5: Night football, and we were like, you know, is this snowing?
- 3:38Speaker 3: Is this tough game?
- 3:39Speaker 5: And this those fans turned on them so quick, and
- 3:42Speaker 5: we were like, oh, we got this, you know. And
- 3:44Speaker 5: I think we went home. We won by like forty
- 3:46Speaker 5: points or something that night. So but no, I think
- 3:49Speaker 5: for the Seahawks in particular, it's disappointing that the Rams
- 3:55Speaker 5: were able to come back against Carolina because I do
- 3:57Speaker 5: think we're gonna have to play the Rams, and if
- 3:59Speaker 5: Carolina could have taken care of business in that one,
- 4:02Speaker 5: that would have made our path a lot easier. But
- 4:05Speaker 5: I don't think you can be upset about the fact
- 4:07Speaker 5: that the forty nine ers are your next opponent. You
- 4:10Speaker 5: had thirteen days in between the last time you played them.
- 4:14Speaker 3: It's the last team you played, and they have five days.
- 4:17Speaker 5: The Niners are only going to get to practice two
- 4:19Speaker 5: times this week in pads, and they lost some of
- 4:22Speaker 5: their star players, the biggest name being George Kittle. They're
- 4:26Speaker 5: all world you know, Rob Gronkowski type tight end. So
- 4:29Speaker 5: this is a good matchup for us in terms of rest.
- 4:33Speaker 5: But at the same time, they're no slouch. They're a
- 4:36Speaker 5: good team, and they're not going to roll over like
- 4:39Speaker 5: they seemingly did last time we played them.
- 4:41Speaker 4: What carries over, hasselbeg and what carries over from a
- 4:46Speaker 4: dominant game? I mean, you absolutely put it on them.
- 4:48Speaker 4: You only won by ten because you didn't necessarily finish
- 4:51Speaker 4: all the drives, But defensively, you absolutely shut down the
- 4:55Speaker 4: mastermind that is Kyle Shanahan and his crew. So what
- 4:58Speaker 4: carries over and what things do you just expect or
- 5:01Speaker 4: going to change?
- 5:03Speaker 5: Well, I think you're exactly right now. Offensively in special teams,
- 5:06Speaker 5: we've been great all year. We didn't play well Week
- 5:08Speaker 5: eighteen against the Niners, like, it wasn't our best game.
- 5:10Speaker 5: There were some you know, there were some highlight moments.
- 5:12Speaker 5: We ran the ball well, we did a good job
- 5:14Speaker 5: on critical third downs at the end of the game,
- 5:16Speaker 5: but we missed two kicks. You know, we took sacks
- 5:19Speaker 5: when we couldn't take sack Like, it wasn't our cleanest game. Now, defensively, though,
- 5:23Speaker 5: this is I think the challenge. You did such a
- 5:26Speaker 5: great job defensively. It was an absolute beatdown. It was
- 5:28Speaker 5: a historic performance from our defense. So do you go
- 5:31Speaker 5: in there with the same game plan and you say, oh,
- 5:33Speaker 5: it worked last time, Well, like, that's dangerous because you know,
- 5:37Speaker 5: Kyle Shanahan and the Niners aren't going to do what
- 5:38Speaker 5: they did last time. They're gonna change, right, And so
- 5:41Speaker 5: I think Mike McDonald obviously smart enough. He realizes that
- 5:45Speaker 5: he's got to go to some of the other things
- 5:47Speaker 5: in that previous game plan that he didn't put on
- 5:49Speaker 5: tape because Kyle Shanahan doesn't know about him. But to
- 5:53Speaker 5: think that you're just going to line up and do
- 5:55Speaker 5: exactly what you did the last time, No, I don't.
- 5:57Speaker 3: This is the NFL. I don't think that'll that'll play.
- 5:59Speaker 3: I don't think that'll work.
- 6:00Speaker 2: Matt Hasselbeck is with us. It's number eight at eight.
- 6:04Speaker 2: It's now gotten the stamp of approval from Matt himself
- 6:08Speaker 2: right here on Chuck him back in the morning says,
- 6:10Speaker 2: we get you ready for Saturday forty nine Ers versus Seahawks.
- 6:14Speaker 2: What's your offensive approach for this game? You only put
- 6:17Speaker 2: thirteen points on the board, as you said, a couple
- 6:19Speaker 2: of miskicks, which normally doesn't happen to Jason Myers.
- 6:23Speaker 1: But certainly you don't think I wouldn't think that.
- 6:26Speaker 2: You feel you've got to put a lot of points
- 6:28Speaker 2: on the board the way the defense is going. But man,
- 6:32Speaker 2: you like to make it a little more comfortable than
- 6:34Speaker 2: what it ended up being a couple of weeks ago.
- 6:37Speaker 2: So are you aggressive with Sam? Do you try to
- 6:40Speaker 2: establish the run to a fault? How do you approach
- 6:43Speaker 2: this if you're Clint Kubiak in the offense?
- 6:45Speaker 5: Well, I like aggressive play calling. I still like that,
- 6:48Speaker 5: you know, I don't like having training wheels on. I
- 6:50Speaker 5: don't like handcuffs. I like, you know, cut it loose
- 6:53Speaker 5: on your play calls. But Sam, you know you got
- 6:55Speaker 5: to communicate to him, Hey, we won this game.
- 6:59Speaker 3: Last time and through I think you threw for less
- 7:01Speaker 3: than two hundred yards.
- 7:02Speaker 6: Like you.
- 7:03Speaker 5: If we get more aggressive as play callers, you got
- 7:06Speaker 5: to protect us with the ball. If you love it downfield,
- 7:08Speaker 5: cut it loose, man, cut it loose. If you don't
- 7:11Speaker 5: love it, hey, find your checkdowns. Let's live to play
- 7:14Speaker 5: another day. Let our kicker kickfield goals. Let our punteror punt.
- 7:18Speaker 5: You know that kind of a mindset. And you know,
- 7:20Speaker 5: when it comes to analytics and some of that kind
- 7:22Speaker 5: of stuff. You know, you hear people on TV being like, oh,
- 7:25Speaker 5: it says it's fourth and four, you're supposed to go
- 7:27Speaker 5: for it right here. Like for me, maybe I'm a
- 7:30Speaker 5: little bit old school understanding how great your defense is
- 7:33Speaker 5: and how banged up this forty nine ers offense is.
- 7:37Speaker 5: Maybe just take points. Let your field goal kicker. Hey,
- 7:40Speaker 5: if he kicks five field goals in this game, that's
- 7:42Speaker 5: gonna be fine.
- 7:43Speaker 7: Now.
- 7:43Speaker 3: I don't think it'll be that.
- 7:44Speaker 5: I think the Seahawks will get it right offensively, but
- 7:47Speaker 5: understanding the complimentary football that this defense is playing in
- 7:51Speaker 5: some metrics even much better than the Legion of Boom
- 7:54Speaker 5: ever played. Like, understand that's who's playing on the other side,
- 7:58Speaker 5: those are your teammates. Let your teammates defend a long
- 8:02Speaker 5: field against a beat up team that had to manufacture
- 8:05Speaker 5: trick plays with wide receivers throwing reverse pass touchdowns last
- 8:08Speaker 5: week just to find offense. So yeah, I think that
- 8:12Speaker 5: that's the approach that I would take. But some at
- 8:16Speaker 5: some point here in the playoffs, our quarterback and our
- 8:19Speaker 5: wide receiver group and our pass game, they're going to
- 8:22Speaker 5: have to be the ones to put the team on
- 8:23Speaker 5: the back. So I want to shy away from having
- 8:26Speaker 5: that mindset, even in a game like this.
- 8:28Speaker 4: The last time these two played, the defense was I've
- 8:31Speaker 4: said impeccable. I mean, they're just tackling. They just were
- 8:34Speaker 4: smothering as far as nothing after the catcher. They just
- 8:38Speaker 4: didn't let any allow any big runs. Trent Williams didn't
- 8:41Speaker 4: play in that game. He did play in this last
- 8:43Speaker 4: playoff game. How big of a difference. I mean, you
- 8:45Speaker 4: know what it's like to have a Hall of Fame
- 8:48Speaker 4: guy protecting your backside. How big of a deal is
- 8:51Speaker 4: it him coming back? And does that change how good
- 8:55Speaker 4: Christian McCaffery or they could run and pass.
- 9:00Speaker 3: A great point, and I think it's a huge deal.
- 9:01Speaker 5: I mean, it's a huge deal to Kyle Shanahan when
- 9:04Speaker 5: he look at that call sheet, Like I can remember
- 9:06Speaker 5: games that we went into I think it was two
- 9:08Speaker 5: thousand and eight when we didn't have we didn't have
- 9:10Speaker 5: Walter Jones. Mike Holmgren would have to take that call
- 9:13Speaker 5: sheet and basically take any play that was a seven
- 9:15Speaker 5: step drop and just like tear it up, like, hey,
- 9:18Speaker 5: this is a great route combination. This would definitely work,
- 9:21Speaker 5: but we don't have our left tackle, so we would
- 9:23Speaker 5: have to leave our running back into help or leave
- 9:25Speaker 5: a tight end into help, and then the play is
- 9:27Speaker 5: not really the play at that point.
- 9:28Speaker 3: And so I think it's a huge deal.
- 9:30Speaker 5: Now couple that with the fact that brock Purdy's pretty elusive.
- 9:34Speaker 5: Give him an extra teck, you give him an extra
- 9:36Speaker 5: chance to get out outside the pocket or even run.
- 9:39Speaker 5: I would say that's been the kryptonite of the Seahawks
- 9:41Speaker 5: defense if I had to find something to say that,
- 9:44Speaker 5: they're still, you know, maybe susceptible to They do such
- 9:48Speaker 5: a great job of getting a pass rush that at times,
- 9:51Speaker 5: you know, a Bryce Young type quarterback, if he can
- 9:54Speaker 5: buy time and use his legs, that's what's hurt this defense,
- 9:59Speaker 5: and so brock Berd listen, he's not intimidated coming into Seattle.
- 10:02Speaker 5: I'm not sure he's ever lost in Seattle. I mean,
- 10:05Speaker 5: he just has that no flinch in his in his
- 10:07Speaker 5: game that people don't I don't think they understand. And
- 10:11Speaker 5: also he is very elusive despite what he looks like,
- 10:13Speaker 5: he doesn't look elusive. So to me, having this left
- 10:17Speaker 5: tackle is it's.
- 10:18Speaker 3: Big for them.
- 10:19Speaker 5: It's I don't even know if I can put it
- 10:21Speaker 5: into words other than your words, which is like it
- 10:23Speaker 5: would be like not having Walter Jones.
- 10:25Speaker 3: That's what it would be like.
- 10:27Speaker 2: Just a quick aside and we'll get back into the
- 10:29Speaker 2: game here in a moment. In analysis. I love Walter
- 10:32Speaker 2: Jones stories. You might have the best ones of anyone
- 10:35Speaker 2: in the world. What is your favorite Walter Jones. I
- 10:38Speaker 2: can't believe what I just saw story. Well, I mean
- 10:41Speaker 2: there are so many. I recently told this one and
- 10:44Speaker 2: people people.
- 10:46Speaker 5: So Walter Jones like most respected guy, but like back
- 10:49Speaker 5: then he didn't talk ever. And then the second most
- 10:51Speaker 5: respected guy on our team was was Max Strong, our
- 10:54Speaker 5: full back, Like he didn't talk ever. Now both those
- 10:56Speaker 5: guys talk all the time. But one time the PGA
- 10:59Speaker 5: was in in town, and there were no hotels in
- 11:02Speaker 5: Bellevue where we stayed the night before games, and so
- 11:04Speaker 5: some people had to double up. I think it might
- 11:06Speaker 5: have been a preseason game or something like that. And
- 11:08Speaker 5: so guys that were you know, had had like maybe
- 11:11Speaker 5: more than ten years of experience or something like that,
- 11:14Speaker 5: got their own room. Well, Walt always got his own room,
- 11:16Speaker 5: and Max Strong always got his own room. Well, they
- 11:18Speaker 5: had to room together the night before one of our games.
- 11:21Speaker 5: And so we're at breakfast the next day, me and
- 11:24Speaker 5: Robbie Tobek and some of the guys in you know,
- 11:28Speaker 5: Max Strong comes down first for breakfast and you know,
- 11:30Speaker 5: pregame meal, and we're like, hey, Mac, what was it
- 11:32Speaker 5: like rooming with Walter Jones last night. He's like, I
- 11:35Speaker 5: can't do it, man, he likes the room too hot.
- 11:37Speaker 5: You know, maybe that's what it takes to be great
- 11:39Speaker 5: as great as him, but like, if that's what it takes, like,
- 11:42Speaker 5: I don't think I can do it. I can't sleep
- 11:43Speaker 5: with a room that hot and whatever. We're laughing, like, oh,
- 11:46Speaker 5: that's really interesting, Mac leaves.
- 11:48Speaker 3: He goes to the game.
- 11:49Speaker 5: We're all kind of milling around, still talking Walter Jones
- 11:52Speaker 5: comes down, sits at the table.
- 11:53Speaker 3: We're all looking around. No one's saying anything.
- 11:56Speaker 5: I say, I kind of whisper, hey, wal what was
- 11:59Speaker 5: it like room mech Max Strong last night?
- 12:01Speaker 3: He's like, I can't do it, man, he likes the
- 12:04Speaker 3: room too hot.
- 12:09Speaker 8: Both those guys were so quiet they wouldn't be like
- 12:16Speaker 8: and so basically like I think Mac was like, oh,
- 12:18Speaker 8: you're the greatest player on the team.
- 12:19Speaker 3: I just respect you. Out of respect.
- 12:22Speaker 5: I'm not gonna even touch the thermometer, the thermostat. And
- 12:27Speaker 5: then and Walt the same thing, like, oh you're Max Strong,
- 12:29Speaker 5: you're the oldest guy on the team, and you do
- 12:31Speaker 5: all the dirty work fullback out of respect.
- 12:34Speaker 3: I'm just gonna, you know, suck it up.
- 12:37Speaker 4: That sounds horrible.
- 12:38Speaker 3: It's funny to me now.
- 12:39Speaker 5: Though, to say all those guys like so loquacious and
- 12:42Speaker 5: they're out there talking all the time.
- 12:43Speaker 2: Oh yeah, Walt's a big postgame analyst right now on
- 12:47Speaker 2: the television side.
- 12:48Speaker 5: Up here, so media darling, as mich coriand would say,
- 12:52Speaker 5: don't be a media darling.
- 12:54Speaker 3: Guys, don't be a media I'll talk for the team.
- 12:57Speaker 3: Don't be a media darling.
- 12:58Speaker 2: Matt Hasselbeck is with us here on Chuck a Buck
- 13:01Speaker 2: in the Mornings every Wednesday through the playoffs, and of
- 13:05Speaker 2: course we are breaking down the game on Saturday, previewing
- 13:09Speaker 2: it for you from Matt's perspective. You mentioned George Kittle
- 13:12Speaker 2: right off the bat. We didn't spend a lot of
- 13:14Speaker 2: time on him, though. How much easier does the job
- 13:18Speaker 2: of Mike McDonald, the defense, the Seahawks in general get
- 13:21Speaker 2: get with him not being.
- 13:23Speaker 1: On this field on Saturday.
- 13:26Speaker 5: Yeah, I think that's like the first thing you think of.
- 13:28Speaker 5: It's going to be so much easier because he's a
- 13:30Speaker 5: great player. But there's also this thing where you lose
- 13:33Speaker 5: your leader, and George Kittle is the heart and soul
- 13:36Speaker 5: of that team. And I've heard every guy in that
- 13:38Speaker 5: locker room in San fran talk about, we're going to
- 13:40Speaker 5: play this game for George. We're gonna play this game
- 13:43Speaker 5: the way Kittle would play the game. And I think
- 13:45Speaker 5: that's a dangerous thing, Like when you have the heart
- 13:47Speaker 5: and soul a guy that tore his achilles, you know,
- 13:50Speaker 5: it's not like a small injury. That's a major injury.
- 13:53Speaker 5: Is he even going to be back for the start
- 13:54Speaker 5: of next year? So I think there's something special in
- 13:57Speaker 5: that locker room where these guys are animal. They're going
- 14:00Speaker 5: to be like, hey, let's cut it loose for our teammate,
- 14:03Speaker 5: and some of the tendencies now go away. You know,
- 14:06Speaker 5: they're going to be by a committee, you know, the
- 14:08Speaker 5: Kyle Shannon called the game last week against Philly when
- 14:10Speaker 5: Kittle went out, it was a combination of Kyle hughescheck
- 14:14Speaker 5: the fullback, and Christian McCaffrey in non traditional matchups. So yeah,
- 14:19Speaker 5: you know, in some ways I think it's it's easier
- 14:21Speaker 5: because a great player is not there, But in other
- 14:23Speaker 5: ways I think it presents new challenges.
- 14:26Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean when you're watching this defense. The Nick
- 14:29Speaker 4: emn Warry has been a big conversation point around here.
- 14:33Speaker 4: As young as he is and yet how much of
- 14:35Speaker 4: a kind of an X factor he can be playing
- 14:37Speaker 4: different type of stuff. Who does he remind you of?
- 14:40Speaker 4: And how big of a disadvantage is that as a
- 14:43Speaker 4: quarterback when you're you're looking around for somebody and you
- 14:46Speaker 4: don't know where the hell they're going to be lined
- 14:48Speaker 4: up at? Well, he reminds me of Camp Chancellor. I mean,
- 14:51Speaker 4: that's that's the guy that he just size wise six
- 14:54Speaker 4: three two twenty. I met him in Arroyo the tight
- 14:57Speaker 4: end together, you know, the offseason after the draft, and
- 15:01Speaker 4: I was in Seattle and I saw both of those
- 15:03Speaker 4: guys and I was like, dang, Like John Schneider is
- 15:05Speaker 4: out here drafting a basketball team. These guys are monsters.
- 15:09Speaker 4: I'm like, what positions do you guys play?
- 15:10Speaker 5: Like they were telling me, But like, I just think
- 15:13Speaker 5: that's the creativity. It opens up the creativity of Mike
- 15:17Speaker 5: McDonald what he wants to do on defense. So like
- 15:19Speaker 5: a lot of times they'll say, oh, it's a nickel personnel,
- 15:22Speaker 5: meaning five dbs in the game, Well what kind of nickel?
- 15:25Speaker 5: Is it big NICKI min worri nickel, you know, or
- 15:27Speaker 5: is it base meaning like little bass where Emon warr
- 15:31Speaker 5: is kind of in a linebacker role, Like how are
- 15:33Speaker 5: you going to treat it? So I think he's a
- 15:35Speaker 5: Swiss Army knife type player that way, And you know,
- 15:39Speaker 5: I just think that he's only scratched the surface of
- 15:42Speaker 5: what he's going to be as a player. I mean,
- 15:44Speaker 5: I remember Cam Chancellor is a rookie. You know, we
- 15:46Speaker 5: were teammates him and Earl. Earl was a little bit
- 15:51Speaker 5: more game ready when he showed up, played at Texas,
- 15:53Speaker 5: played a ton Cam was a later round pick, and
- 15:57Speaker 5: you know, really developed into I think one of the
- 15:59Speaker 5: great safeties it's ever played the game. But his rookie
- 16:02Speaker 5: year he had to you know, Lawyer malloy took him
- 16:05Speaker 5: under his wing and Pete Carroll was teaching him still
- 16:07Speaker 5: and you know, he just seemed to get better and
- 16:10Speaker 5: better every week. And I think you could say the
- 16:13Speaker 5: same thing about NICKI minworry.
- 16:15Speaker 1: Number eight at eight.
- 16:15Speaker 2: Matt hasselback with us right here on the Chuck and Bucks.
- 16:18Speaker 2: So give me this in our last couple of minutes
- 16:20Speaker 2: that we have. I mean, you've had playoff successes, you've
- 16:24Speaker 2: had playoff failures. I mean you can't use don't have
- 16:29Speaker 2: Levy and his crew, You can't use that as a
- 16:32Speaker 2: key that can be an answer in a playoff game.
- 16:34Speaker 2: So tell me what the now that you've had the
- 16:37Speaker 2: experience with it, what's the perfect mindset as you get
- 16:40Speaker 2: ready to start the playoffs that a team should have.
- 16:45Speaker 5: Well, you did you know just since you mentioned officials,
- 16:47Speaker 5: you know, I do think that you know, we've played
- 16:49Speaker 5: a full season now and now you know the referee
- 16:51Speaker 5: assignments come out.
- 16:52Speaker 3: I believe it's John Hussey. And you know, you.
- 16:55Speaker 5: Can scout just like you scouted an opponent, you can
- 16:57Speaker 5: scout an officiating crew.
- 16:59Speaker 3: You can say, hey, this umpire loves.
- 17:01Speaker 5: To call holding guys, got to keep your hands inside,
- 17:04Speaker 5: you know on outside zone run plays, like you got
- 17:06Speaker 5: to keep your hands inside.
- 17:07Speaker 3: This guy loves to throw a flag on this, Hey quarterback.
- 17:10Speaker 5: This this referee, the guy with the white hat, he
- 17:15Speaker 5: throws intentional grounding double what other people throw around the league. Hey,
- 17:18Speaker 5: wide receivers outside they call OPI. You know most people
- 17:22Speaker 5: call DPI. This guy calls pushoffs. So you can, in
- 17:25Speaker 5: the same exact way, you can scout these officials because
- 17:29Speaker 5: there's a body of work. And so I do think
- 17:32Speaker 5: that that's an important thing. And that's not something we
- 17:34Speaker 5: really did ever in Seattle. But my brother Tim, he
- 17:37Speaker 5: played on you know, multiple teams, and you know, he
- 17:39Speaker 5: played I would say, primarily in the NFC East with
- 17:43Speaker 5: guys like Tom Coughlin and Joe Gibbs and Andy Reid,
- 17:47Speaker 5: and that's something that they did religiously. And you know,
- 17:51Speaker 5: I just remember like kind of making fun of him
- 17:53Speaker 5: going into a game We're playing the Giants. One time,
- 17:56Speaker 5: I believe it was a playoff game. And he was like, oh,
- 17:59Speaker 5: you know this referee, this referee leads the league in
- 18:02Speaker 5: intentional groundings. And I'm like, that's so stupid, dude, Like
- 18:05Speaker 5: you know, intentional grounding is intentional grounding.
- 18:07Speaker 3: It either is or it isn't. It's not like a tendency,
- 18:09Speaker 3: you know. Duh.
- 18:11Speaker 5: And I got called for an intentional grounding that was
- 18:13Speaker 5: I'm I promise you it was not intentional.
- 18:15Speaker 3: Grounding, like like Maurice Morris was.
- 18:17Speaker 5: Like right there, like it was a dude right there,
- 18:19Speaker 5: and uh and you know, sure enough they throw the
- 18:22Speaker 5: flag on me at you know, Tim's my younger brother,
- 18:24Speaker 5: the middle child. So I was like, ah, he's just
- 18:27Speaker 5: gonna give it to me on this one. But I
- 18:29Speaker 5: was not intentional grounding. But had I listened to the
- 18:31Speaker 5: scouting report on the officials, I think they probably would
- 18:35Speaker 5: help me.
- 18:37Speaker 1: All Right, where are you gonna be Saturday to take
- 18:38Speaker 1: this thing in?
- 18:40Speaker 5: I didn't answer your question too, by the way, but
- 18:42Speaker 5: with the Niners, this is this is the mindset that
- 18:44Speaker 5: I would have if I was on the defense. Okay,
- 18:46Speaker 5: trick plays, you gotta be ready for trick plays. Last week,
- 18:50Speaker 5: the Niners they used Juwan Jennings one of their wide receivers.
- 18:54Speaker 5: But you got to go deep, deep into the scouting report.
- 18:57Speaker 5: Juwan Jennings when he came out of high school was
- 19:00Speaker 5: rated had more stars than Lamar Jackson, Sam Arnold, and
- 19:05Speaker 5: Joe Burrow, same recruiting class as a quarterback. So like
- 19:08Speaker 5: when you're doing the scouting report this week, if you're
- 19:11Speaker 5: a defender, you got to know all the different guys
- 19:14Speaker 5: and what their backgrounds were, what they did, if they
- 19:16Speaker 5: played little league baseball. I want to know if you're
- 19:19Speaker 5: a lefty, I want to know. So to answer your question,
- 19:22Speaker 5: where am I gonna watch it? I'm gonna watch it
- 19:24Speaker 5: like on my couch where most people are screaming at
- 19:26Speaker 5: the TV and all excited.
- 19:27Speaker 2: All right, sounds great, well, thanks Matt. Awesome stuff. Again,
- 19:30Speaker 2: we greatly appreciate it. We can't wait to talk to
- 19:32Speaker 2: about a win next week.
- 19:34Speaker 3: Let's do it, right, guys.
- 19:36Speaker 2: Matt Hasselback joining us right here on Chuck and Buck
- 19:39Speaker 2: in the morning's former Seahawks quarterback lending us a little expertise,
- 19:44Speaker 2: nice wrinkles, nice observations, nice little you know angles that
- 19:49Speaker 2: we haven't really touched upon yet.
- 19:51Speaker 1: This week.
- 19:51Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, we need to have we need to have
- 19:54Speaker 4: his brother on with Jean and find out what the
- 19:57Speaker 4: scouting report on Gene was with gen Geene, that guy
- 20:01Speaker 4: that threw a bunch of intentional groundies. I can so
- 20:04Speaker 4: see that, my little brother saying, hey, watch out for
- 20:06Speaker 4: this and shut up. That's down, and then it coming
- 20:09Speaker 4: back to haunting you.
- 20:10Speaker 2: For a long time, I've thought that people should study
- 20:12Speaker 2: Major League Baseball umpires and there are strike zones, and
- 20:16Speaker 2: then bet the over under on the runs based on that,
- 20:19Speaker 2: not about the pitching matchup, about what kind of homeplate
- 20:22Speaker 2: umpire that you get. I've never followed up on it myself,
- 20:26Speaker 2: probably cost myself probably billions, maybe trillions of dollars. Oh yeah,
- 20:29Speaker 2: it's definitely a thing.
- 20:30Speaker 1: Yeah, is it a thing?
- 20:31Speaker 4: Yeah? You know which one of those clowns back there
- 20:34Speaker 4: like to give the plate like twenty inches instead of
- 20:36Speaker 4: seventeen like it's supposed to be.
- 20:37Speaker 9: Yah, I'd say it's high billions.
- 20:39Speaker 1: Okay, high billions.
- 20:40Speaker 2: Really a different life. Yeah, now I've given it too late.
- 20:44Speaker 2: Now I've given everybody the idea.
- 20:46Speaker 1: All right, coming up next. He's a funny, funny, haha guy.
- 20:50Speaker 1: He's a jokey boy, and he is our friend.
- 20:52Speaker 10: Boy.
- 20:53Speaker 2: Dustin Nickerson is with us on Sports Radio ninety three
- 20:56Speaker 2: point three KJRFM.
- 21:04Speaker 1: All right, Chuck, how j Gibson.
- 21:06Speaker 2: And Ashley Ryan with you here on this Wednesday morning.
- 21:11Speaker 1: Oh, it is our honor, our privilege.
- 21:14Speaker 2: It is with joy that we introduce our next guest,
- 21:18Speaker 2: our good friend, comedian Dustin Nickerson now joins this right
- 21:22Speaker 2: here on Chuck and Buck in the morning. It's been
- 21:24Speaker 2: a while, it's been a while since we've chatted with you.
- 21:27Speaker 2: How the heck are you?
- 21:29Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, it's the jokey boy himself.
- 21:31Speaker 11: Yeah yeah, I mean it's your joking boy.
- 21:37Speaker 7: I believe last time you called me up in comer.
- 21:40Speaker 4: Was a wild you can arrhyd now, joky boy.
- 21:44Speaker 7: I just I'm getting a lot of disrespect.
- 21:46Speaker 11: I know you guys can't afford Adam Ray and you're
- 21:49Speaker 11: stuck with me, but if you could just put a
- 21:51Speaker 11: little more respect on the profession. Other than that, I'm
- 21:55Speaker 11: doing good. Other than my intro is jokey boy. I mean, listen,
- 21:59Speaker 11: I understand that following Matt Hasselback a little bit of
- 22:02Speaker 11: a letdown for some listeners, but I'm doing well.
- 22:06Speaker 10: Other than that.
- 22:07Speaker 4: You're in the ring of honor, a comedy ring of
- 22:09Speaker 4: honor that I have in my heart, by the way.
- 22:13Speaker 10: You know that. Yeah, that's good good.
- 22:15Speaker 4: So what I heard it is very big.
- 22:18Speaker 1: So what I heard was other than Chuck, I'm doing fine.
- 22:20Speaker 4: That's what I heard, a little bit of life's going good.
- 22:23Speaker 4: Other than what you say, job right.
- 22:26Speaker 11: I think that might be an entry out of Ashley
- 22:29Speaker 11: and Buck's diary right.
- 22:30Speaker 2: There, probably right about that, you know, you know what,
- 22:36Speaker 2: you know what though, this is a true story, our
- 22:39Speaker 2: own Jessamine McIntyre, who works here.
- 22:42Speaker 1: You don't know her, don't ever get to know her.
- 22:45Speaker 2: She sent us a text a couple of weeks ago.
- 22:47Speaker 2: She was like, do you guys want Adam ray On?
- 22:50Speaker 2: And I and Ashley can attest to this. My response was,
- 22:53Speaker 2: we're Dustin Nickerson people.
- 22:55Speaker 4: That's right, Yeah, that's right.
- 22:59Speaker 10: Oh my god, Well you made the wrong choice. Adams
- 23:03Speaker 10: very fun. Yeah, that was that was a I don't
- 23:08Speaker 10: know if you guys.
- 23:08Speaker 7: Just hate ratings, but you know, you know he's very
- 23:14Speaker 7: popular for a reason. But you know, I respect the loyalty.
- 23:18Speaker 11: I respect that I am your preferred jokey boy.
- 23:22Speaker 1: Number one jokey boy, little boy.
- 23:25Speaker 2: Yeah, Dustin Nigger Sidered on my tombstone.
- 23:29Speaker 1: Professional comedian seattleite. I mean he is.
- 23:33Speaker 2: We got to know him during the Mariners this season. Really,
- 23:36Speaker 2: that's when we got to know you. So a little
- 23:38Speaker 2: different experience as a Mariner fan to a Seahawks fan,
- 23:41Speaker 2: at least for the.
- 23:42Speaker 1: Last fifteen years.
- 23:43Speaker 2: So what is the difference in you as a fan
- 23:48Speaker 2: of the Mariners versus a fan of the Seahawks.
- 23:52Speaker 11: Oh, I mean there's some hope.
- 23:57Speaker 10: That's a fan.
- 23:58Speaker 7: I mean, there's there's a proven track record that.
- 24:02Speaker 11: At least once in your lifetime you might experience joy
- 24:06Speaker 11: at the end of the season.
- 24:07Speaker 10: And uh so.
- 24:09Speaker 7: Yeah, there's there's some hope, uh in in that regard.
- 24:13Speaker 11: Uh you know, you have a proof of concept, I
- 24:17Speaker 11: believe is the term I'm looking for, Like, oh wow,
- 24:20Speaker 11: this team could actually win a championship. So a little
- 24:25Speaker 11: less you know, a little less uh, I don't know, uh,
- 24:29Speaker 11: pessimistic negative.
- 24:31Speaker 7: But that's also because it's Wednesday, you know. I mean,
- 24:34Speaker 7: by this time the weekend.
- 24:35Speaker 11: Rolls around, I'm gonna probably be full panic and you
- 24:38Speaker 11: know everything objectively this game, You're like, well, the Seahawks
- 24:44Speaker 11: should win comfortably, Like objectively, which which means subjectively, I'm like.
- 24:49Speaker 10: Wow, we'll probably choke. It's the Seattle way.
- 24:53Speaker 11: But you know, some somewhere in between, there is how
- 24:55Speaker 11: I'm feeling on this Wednesday before the big game.
- 24:58Speaker 4: Okay, so this is the this is the glass half
- 25:01Speaker 4: full version of how you're feeling right now.
- 25:05Speaker 11: As good as it gets is as good as it
- 25:07Speaker 11: gets for me, which is, on paper, this team.
- 25:12Speaker 10: Is the better team.
- 25:13Speaker 11: But but that that's as good as it's gonna get.
- 25:16Speaker 11: But you know, forty one years of paint and you know,
- 25:20Speaker 11: let down of cl sports franchises and the fact that
- 25:23Speaker 11: I'm a University of Washington alum, and the last week
- 25:27Speaker 11: and a half of that drama has not been like, well,
- 25:30Speaker 11: you know, everything's turning around in my sports world.
- 25:34Speaker 4: Hey, you lost quarterback and then it came right back.
- 25:37Speaker 1: What did you make it?
- 25:37Speaker 11: Oh?
- 25:38Speaker 10: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I want to be a Husky.
- 25:40Speaker 11: I'm not sure if our quarterback does, but I want
- 25:43Speaker 11: to be one.
- 25:46Speaker 4: Well, the good thing is that the Ducks en it
- 25:49Speaker 4: up and kept their zero alive. And I know that
- 25:52Speaker 4: you continue to want to Uncle Phil to live forever.
- 25:55Speaker 11: Right, Oh man, that's the the University of Washington fan
- 26:02Speaker 11: has a debt to Indiana that can never be repaid.
- 26:08Speaker 10: Just annihilate first.
- 26:09Speaker 7: The gift of Pennix and then to.
- 26:12Speaker 11: Annihilate Alabama and Oregon and back to back weeks.
- 26:16Speaker 10: I was like, oh, Mike, what did I do to
- 26:18Speaker 10: deserve this love?
- 26:19Speaker 11: You know I got in a week's time, I received
- 26:22Speaker 11: more love from the University of Indiana than I did
- 26:25Speaker 11: my mother my entire life. So this is, you know,
- 26:29Speaker 11: which is why I'm a jokey boy. But thank you, uh, Indiana.
- 26:35Speaker 7: So yeah, that that was a that was a good watch.
- 26:37Speaker 11: It was I mean, if anyone's a for Hawks fans
- 26:41Speaker 11: and especially for Hawks and Huskies fans, I mean, what
- 26:45Speaker 11: a what an incredible three or four days of peace free,
- 26:49Speaker 11: peaceful not peace free that that's probably a Saturday but
- 26:53Speaker 11: peaceful football watching.
- 26:56Speaker 10: I felt like the.
- 26:56Speaker 11: John hamm mean going around, I was like, this is
- 26:59Speaker 11: as good as it gets.
- 27:00Speaker 2: Right here, our number one jokie boy, Dustin Nickerson, joining
- 27:04Speaker 2: us here on Chuck and Buck. So I know you've
- 27:07Speaker 2: done a lot of material in front of Ducks fans
- 27:10Speaker 2: about Ducks fans. How about forty nine Ers fans and
- 27:13Speaker 2: just the forty nine ers in general, after years of
- 27:17Speaker 2: dealing with these you know these people, where are you
- 27:21Speaker 2: at with your feelings towards the San Francisco forty nine ers.
- 27:26Speaker 11: Well, I will say this about Niners fans, to their
- 27:29Speaker 11: credit is you know, they're good natured, they know how
- 27:34Speaker 11: to take a joke, they never complain, they have good perspective.
- 27:40Speaker 10: They very little, very very rarely.
- 27:43Speaker 11: Lose sight of the fact that they haven't won a
- 27:47Speaker 11: championship since the same time the Cowboys used to win championships. No,
- 27:52Speaker 11: I mean the Niners terrible, just absolutely miserable. They're like
- 28:00Speaker 11: it's just they're this weird mix of like like trashy
- 28:04Speaker 11: but also kind of like elitist, you know, like a
- 28:08Speaker 11: like a really you know what I mean, like a
- 28:10Speaker 11: really confident, like elite person that lives in a trailer park.
- 28:17Speaker 7: You know, you're like, dude, you don't even know who.
- 28:18Speaker 10: You are, be one or the other.
- 28:22Speaker 7: So I don't uh yeah, I don't. I don't care
- 28:25Speaker 7: for Niners.
- 28:25Speaker 11: Fans, and uh it'll be that being said, you're like,
- 28:30Speaker 11: oh God, I can't handle another offseason of losing to them,
- 28:35Speaker 11: like they're just it would Uh it's just like it's
- 28:38Speaker 11: very Seattle luck of course that. I mean, I tweeted
- 28:41Speaker 11: that immediately that You're like, oh, of course it was
- 28:44Speaker 11: always going to be the Niners or the Rams, and
- 28:46Speaker 11: it's probably going to be the Niners and the Rams
- 28:49Speaker 11: at this point, because it just seemed.
- 28:51Speaker 10: That that was destined. But uh, that beans that.
- 28:54Speaker 11: Yeah, I've done lots of I you know, I I've
- 28:57Speaker 11: done lots of Mariners with you.
- 28:58Speaker 10: I do.
- 28:58Speaker 7: I do the jokes everywhere.
- 29:00Speaker 10: I mean, I you know I'm gonna be I was.
- 29:03Speaker 11: In Houston last weekend, uh, you know, making fun of
- 29:07Speaker 11: Astros fans. I'm gonna be in Eugene on Thursday opening
- 29:11Speaker 11: for Bergazzi, and I'll be back there headlining this summer.
- 29:14Speaker 7: You know, I'll go into.
- 29:15Speaker 10: The Uh, I'll march into Mordor and tell some funny.
- 29:22Speaker 2: You're so right though about the San Francis, because they
- 29:24Speaker 2: lead the league in both like ridiculously snobby, like Brie
- 29:29Speaker 2: and you know, if you've got like a Champagne flute.
- 29:33Speaker 1: At your you know, your tailgate, there's something wrong with you.
- 29:37Speaker 2: So they sort of lead the league in that, but
- 29:39Speaker 2: they also lead the league in fights inside the stadium.
- 29:43Speaker 2: They right, they're they You're not supposed to have the
- 29:46Speaker 2: crown in both of those areas.
- 29:49Speaker 11: No, No, they You're like, are you San Francisco or Oakland?
- 29:53Speaker 10: Which one are you?
- 29:55Speaker 11: You know, Dave, They've got they got a little bit
- 29:58Speaker 11: of a little bit of both, and they just have
- 30:00Speaker 11: this weird merge of attitude that is just frankly not earned.
- 30:05Speaker 11: I mean they are not. I mean, if you wanna,
- 30:09Speaker 11: if you wanna, if you want a franchise that almost wins,
- 30:13Speaker 11: then yeah, the Niners are your franchise.
- 30:15Speaker 10: But they have they are. They are not good at
- 30:18Speaker 10: winning championships.
- 30:20Speaker 7: I saw somebody they're good at historically losing them.
- 30:23Speaker 4: Actually, somebody pointed out that their last championship was closer
- 30:27Speaker 4: to the moon landing than it was to present day,
- 30:30Speaker 4: which I thought was interesting. I'm wondering though, I mean,
- 30:34Speaker 4: you rode a little bit of a superstitious train. I
- 30:37Speaker 4: think it was more based on just planning. But you
- 30:39Speaker 4: were on stage during a lot of the Mariners postseason run.
- 30:42Speaker 4: Are you going to be I don't know, if anything,
- 30:45Speaker 4: just standing on some sort of raised platform waiting for
- 30:48Speaker 4: people to give you updates on the Seahawks game or.
- 30:50Speaker 10: No, yeah, you know TPD. So far that has not.
- 30:55Speaker 11: Applied to football, which you know is a very baseball thing, right,
- 31:00Speaker 11: the superstitions. But you know, I'll be It's gonna be
- 31:04Speaker 11: hard to do because I'm back on the Bargazzi bus
- 31:07Speaker 11: this week.
- 31:08Speaker 10: I'm hitting the bright lights. Baby. We got big cities coming.
- 31:11Speaker 11: We got Missoula, we got Yakama, we got.
- 31:16Speaker 10: Eugene, all the bright lights.
- 31:19Speaker 11: So so Saturday, I'm either going to be in Montana
- 31:23Speaker 11: or Yakama.
- 31:24Speaker 7: I don't even know wherever the bus drops me off.
- 31:26Speaker 7: But the point is I'm looking at me performing.
- 31:28Speaker 10: For eight minutes.
- 31:29Speaker 12: So unfortunately, if that is a superstition, I'm gonna have
- 31:35Speaker 12: to just set up and you know, uh, I'm just
- 31:39Speaker 12: gonna have to set up my.
- 31:40Speaker 10: Own open mic and perform for the crew, which they
- 31:43Speaker 10: will not care for.
- 31:44Speaker 1: Just but we'll do what.
- 31:46Speaker 10: We'll do what it takes.
- 31:47Speaker 2: Just more time out on the town and Yakama.
- 31:51Speaker 7: Yeah, you know the bright lights, you.
- 31:53Speaker 4: Know, I know all the spots yeah yeah, yeah, crack
- 31:57Speaker 4: of Vegas. I used to do a lot of really
- 31:59Speaker 4: fun things there.
- 31:59Speaker 11: If you know, Okay, yeah, send me a text and
- 32:03Speaker 11: I will make sure I'll tell Google Maps to avoid
- 32:06Speaker 11: those spots exactly.
- 32:07Speaker 2: Yeah, how much of your time when you're with Bargatzi
- 32:10Speaker 2: because he's like a sports nut in his own way.
- 32:14Speaker 2: How much time do you guys sit around talking sports
- 32:17Speaker 2: and complaining about your teams you root for.
- 32:21Speaker 11: Well, you know, he's a Titans fan, a Vanderbilt fan.
- 32:27Speaker 10: Yeah, a lot. We've got.
- 32:31Speaker 11: Neither of us experience much joy in our sports, so
- 32:35Speaker 11: or at least we get some temporary joy that we
- 32:37Speaker 11: know eventually will end in heartbreak or pain. You know,
- 32:40Speaker 11: it's a bit of a metaphor for life in that regards. Sorry,
- 32:44Speaker 11: that got darker for Mortaring Radio than it should. Okay,
- 32:52Speaker 11: I'm having you know, the kids are just getting back
- 32:54Speaker 11: into school. We're all getting back into the swing of
- 32:56Speaker 11: things here. We've got to work through our existential crisis
- 32:58Speaker 11: on air and as people sitting I five traffic.
- 33:01Speaker 6: But the we do a lot and there's usually uh
- 33:06Speaker 6: there's usually like a room that the TV will be
- 33:09Speaker 6: set up, and most like what usually happens is because
- 33:13Speaker 6: on this tour there's just.
- 33:14Speaker 11: Fan, there's there's crew and comedians from all over the country,
- 33:19Speaker 11: so we have there'll be one person.
- 33:21Speaker 10: Really into the game and then we all just kind of.
- 33:24Speaker 11: Uh watch the one person you're watching the game, but
- 33:28Speaker 11: you're also watching the fan. And I'll be the fan
- 33:30Speaker 11: this weekend where they'll be watching, enjoying a good football game,
- 33:34Speaker 11: and I'll be thinking, actually, I'd probably rather watch this
- 33:36Speaker 11: by myself than maybe I'll retreat.
- 33:41Speaker 1: I love it all right.
- 33:43Speaker 2: Well, be confident, as confident as you're capable of being.
- 33:48Speaker 2: Enjoy have fun, and uh, you know, we'll check in

- 35:10Speaker 2: third game of the year coming up at nine o'clock,
- 35:13Speaker 2: we'll go through an exercise of what does carry over
- 35:16Speaker 2: from game number two and what doesn't carry over from
- 35:19Speaker 2: game number two. But we spent a little time on
- 35:21Speaker 2: just the NFL playoffs in general, because we got a
- 35:25Speaker 2: little Green Jacket draft thing going on right now. Bucky,
- 35:29Speaker 2: Bucky's looking good again. He still has everybody alive. He's
- 35:33Speaker 2: the only person with all four of his players alive
- 35:37Speaker 2: heading into the divisional round. Kid lost a player, Ashley
- 35:40Speaker 2: lost a player. I lost two players over the weekend.
- 35:44Speaker 2: But Kid does have the lead right now with seventy
- 35:47Speaker 2: one points. I have sixty two, Bucky's got fifty nine,
- 35:50Speaker 2: and Ashley had a rough week she had concussion and
- 35:54Speaker 2: two guys that didn't play until this week.
- 35:56Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 35:56Speaker 13: Well, I was going to say, yeah, I didn't have
- 35:58Speaker 13: two guys play, so I was expecting to not get
- 36:00Speaker 13: a very high point total.
- 36:01Speaker 9: But the Nico Collins injury.
- 36:03Speaker 13: Who knew Christian Kirk was just gonna go absolutely insane?
- 36:07Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, man, that's why I sent you that text.
- 36:10Speaker 9: I think I mispronounced Christian Kirk.
- 36:13Speaker 1: Well I do have it written down as n.
- 36:17Speaker 4: Yes, ye, yeah, yeah, good.
- 36:20Speaker 1: Try on that one anyway.
- 36:22Speaker 2: But BUCkies they got Matt Stafford, James Coote, Christian McCaffrey,
- 36:24Speaker 2: Cortland Sutton on his squads. So I mean I felt
- 36:30Speaker 2: that Bill's Jaguars, whoever won that was gonna win the AFC.
- 36:34Speaker 2: So obviously I picked the Jaguars to beat the Bills,
- 36:38Speaker 2: but also said I think that if the Bills can
- 36:40Speaker 2: get by this first round, because I think that first
- 36:42Speaker 2: round for a team with all those expectations, I think
- 36:44Speaker 2: that's the most difficult. I think a little a lot
- 36:46Speaker 2: of the pressure just came off of the Buffalo Bills,
- 36:49Speaker 2: but they still carry quite a bit.
- 36:51Speaker 1: They're gonna be at Denver.
- 36:52Speaker 2: Denver is a slight favorite, I think a point favorite
- 36:56Speaker 2: in this game. But I think the Bills and Josh Allen.
- 37:00Speaker 2: Josh Allen looks.
- 37:01Speaker 1: Like he's on a mission from God.
- 37:03Speaker 4: Yeah, well he needs to be.
- 37:05Speaker 1: Yeah, might need to be.
- 37:06Speaker 4: Against God's soldiers.
- 37:07Speaker 9: Oh is that right?
- 37:12Speaker 4: Everyone else? He loves everyone. He loves us more. Everybody
- 37:16Speaker 4: knows that.
- 37:17Speaker 9: That makes sense. Oh yeah, that's why your stadium is
- 37:19Speaker 9: so high up.
- 37:21Speaker 2: We're closer to God. Of course, thank you. I thought
- 37:23Speaker 2: it was the Steelers. They seem to get all the
- 37:25Speaker 2: lucky breaks in football.
- 37:27Speaker 4: No, no, we don't get all the lucky breaks either.
- 37:29Speaker 4: I mean it's just He just loves us more. You
- 37:31Speaker 4: still have to at times. He will put you through
- 37:34Speaker 4: trials and tribulations. You have to go through hard things.
- 37:36Speaker 4: It could be a loss this week, the patience of job.
- 37:38Speaker 13: Yes, sure, predicting that they'll lose to the Bills this week.
- 37:42Speaker 4: No, I'm not predicting that it could happen. I mean,
- 37:45Speaker 4: we don't win all the time, but I think we're
- 37:48Speaker 4: winning this weekend.
- 37:50Speaker 1: Houston, New England is very interesting.
- 37:52Speaker 2: I mean both of those teams played so well, so physically,
- 37:56Speaker 2: I guess I'm supposed to believe in New England.
- 37:59Speaker 1: I should believe in New England. But I think Houston's
- 38:02Speaker 1: going to get him. Houston's going to get him.
- 38:06Speaker 4: Yeah, Houston's good. Houston is good. Their defense is nasty
- 38:11Speaker 4: and fly all over the place.
- 38:12Speaker 13: Yeah, I don't know, it's hard because yeah, I was
- 38:16Speaker 13: the same way. Five Iron and I were having a
- 38:18Speaker 13: conversation at home the other day about this and I
- 38:20Speaker 13: was like, I don't I just don't know. Every he
- 38:23Speaker 13: was asking me Buffalo Denver said, I don't know because
- 38:25Speaker 13: I don't think it's gonna be a high scoring game.
- 38:28Speaker 9: And then with.
- 38:29Speaker 13: The Patriots and the Texans, I thought, I was like,
- 38:33Speaker 13: can you pick a game where I feel like I
- 38:34Speaker 13: could pick a winner?
- 38:35Speaker 9: Because right now this is hard in the AFC, I.
- 38:37Speaker 2: Kind of see how Denver is where Denver is. I
- 38:39Speaker 2: just kept I just keep expecting New England, like, you're
- 38:43Speaker 2: not as good as your record in Yeah, I mean,
- 38:45Speaker 2: I think they've only played until this going into the playoffs.
- 38:48Speaker 2: I think they'd only played four teams that made the
- 38:51Speaker 2: playoffs this year.
- 38:52Speaker 9: In the regular pon schedule.
- 38:53Speaker 2: I think that was like two and two against those
- 38:56Speaker 2: four teams. So I just said, like, I think that's
- 38:58Speaker 2: a little bit of fool's gold there and then, And
- 39:00Speaker 2: I kind of feel that way. On the NFC side,
- 39:03Speaker 2: I've kind of felt this way all season about the
- 39:05Speaker 2: Chicago Bears. How many times can you get out played
- 39:08Speaker 2: for three and a half quarters and then put together
- 39:11Speaker 2: a dramatic fourth quarter, comeback and pull it off and
- 39:14Speaker 2: get every single break talk about God's team, get every
- 39:17Speaker 2: single break at the in the fourth quarter, the posts
- 39:21Speaker 2: and make big plays. They make big plays too. I'm
- 39:23Speaker 2: not saying it was all it's all luck, but how
- 39:25Speaker 2: many times can you run that risk of just playing
- 39:30Speaker 2: average to below average to even crappy and then trust
- 39:34Speaker 2: that you can pull it out with a twenty five
- 39:36Speaker 2: point fourth quarter like they get against the Green Bay Packers.
- 39:39Speaker 2: So I don't believe in them either.
- 39:40Speaker 1: I think we're.
- 39:40Speaker 9: Gonna they got the Pope On this side, though, we
- 39:42Speaker 9: get through this.
- 39:43Speaker 1: We're facing the Rams. That's that's how I feel there.
- 39:46Speaker 4: Yeah, well I didn't get it will be the Rams,
- 39:48Speaker 4: But I do think there's something. I mean, if there's
- 39:50Speaker 4: a guy, a new coach, and there's been a few
- 39:53Speaker 4: of them by I think Ben Johnson is doing a
- 39:56Speaker 4: good job of kind of what we commend Mike McDonald
- 39:59Speaker 4: doing on the defense suside of making adjustments and figuring
- 40:02Speaker 4: stuff out, because I think that is a large part
- 40:04Speaker 4: of how they've ended up coming back after being stemiat
- 40:08Speaker 4: or looking like they're out of it early in games.
- 40:10Speaker 9: Any ten degrees during that game, is that right?
- 40:12Speaker 3: Yep.
- 40:13Speaker 2: Rams played it in one of those last year though,
- 40:16Speaker 2: and in Philadelphia, and they lost, but they actually outplayed
- 40:19Speaker 2: the Es. They just didn't they didn't make the play
- 40:22Speaker 2: at the very end because they were right there on
- 40:25Speaker 2: the goal line. So it didn't seem to affect them
- 40:27Speaker 2: the cold weather all that much. We kind of thought
- 40:29Speaker 2: it was going to because it's la you know, Matt
- 40:32Speaker 2: Stafford only you know, packed a bathing suit, you know,
- 40:36Speaker 2: that sort of thing. But it didn't seem to affect
- 40:38Speaker 2: them last year. I doubt it will affect them this year.
- 40:40Speaker 2: But yeah, there's going to be a little different weather
- 40:42Speaker 2: this weekend. Last weekend it was almost ideal for this
- 40:45Speaker 2: time of the year across the National Football League. All right,
- 40:48Speaker 2: coming up next, what is going to carry over from
- 40:52Speaker 2: Game two between the Seahawks and forty nine ers and
- 40:55Speaker 2: what won't.
