0:00
Speaker 1: Joining us now on the program for some x as
0:02
Speaker 1: it O's It is our QB one. Hugh Millan, Good morning, sir, yep, yep,
0:08
Speaker 1: there is happy conference Cham Sunday. All good. Yeah. I
0:14
Speaker 1: can't give the air this final four Super Bowl on
0:19
Speaker 1: the line. You're right, it can't get any better than this,
0:23
Speaker 1: no question about it. So, uh, what is it the
0:25
Speaker 1: number one, first and foremost that you are fixated on
0:29
Speaker 1: heading into this Sunday matchup?
0:31
Speaker 2: Well, I would just look and say, you know, I
0:33
Speaker 2: do believe in the the five components of of football,
0:39
Speaker 2: the how how you run it, how you throw it,
0:42
Speaker 2: how you defend the run, how you defend the pass,
0:44
Speaker 2: and special teams, And I just think that all the
0:48
Speaker 2: signs point to Seattle, you know, particularly when you look
0:53
Speaker 2: at since Thanksgiving, the trends were Seattle, you know, in
0:58
Speaker 2: rusting well in the last four weeks. The rushing component
1:01
Speaker 2: is more of the last four games, but they're second
1:04
Speaker 2: in the league in rushing yards a game one hundred
1:08
Speaker 2: and seventy three, fourth in the league in yards per
1:11
Speaker 2: at temp, where the Rams are just thirteenth. They run
1:14
Speaker 2: the ball better, they certainly defend the run better in
1:20
Speaker 2: terms of rushing yards per attempt. The RAMS defense has
1:24
Speaker 2: fallen to twenty seventh. Passer rating opponent passer rating the
1:29
Speaker 2: RAMS pass defense has fallen to nineteenth. And then you
1:33
Speaker 2: kind of look at the total defense. I mentioned this
1:36
Speaker 2: yesterday before Thanksgiving, the Rams they were number one in
1:42
Speaker 2: the NFL in points allowed their defense sixteen point three.
1:47
Speaker 2: They have now fallen to twenty fifth. They've had a
1:51
Speaker 2: over a ten point drop. Where the Seahawks they were
1:55
Speaker 2: at nineteen point seven, they were at Thanksgiving they were seventh,
1:58
Speaker 2: pretty darn good. Then they're first at eleven point six.
2:02
Speaker 2: So they've had a well. The Rams have have risen
2:07
Speaker 2: their points allowed by over ten. The Seahawks have dropped
2:11
Speaker 2: Theirs by eight. And then and then I mentioned that
2:14
Speaker 2: yesterday I did not mention this, so you know you
2:17
Speaker 2: know this new stat EPA expected points added. I've run
2:21
Speaker 2: the correlation numbers. Not going to get in the details.
2:24
Speaker 2: It's very high. The Rams defense. They were number one
2:29
Speaker 2: in totaled EPA before Thanksgiving. Since then their twentieth Seattle
2:35
Speaker 2: was fifth, now Seatts first. But check this out the
2:39
Speaker 2: EPA per game. I don't expect you to get it,
2:42
Speaker 2: but you'll understand the ratios the Rams were number one
2:46
Speaker 2: at eight point seven per game. Okay, prior to Thanksgiving.
2:48
Speaker 2: That's all games before Thanksgiving. God at eight point seven.
2:51
Speaker 2: Don't expect any of us to know what eight point
2:54
Speaker 2: seven means. But the Seahawks are number one since then,
2:58
Speaker 2: and they're fifteen point oh six. Like eight point seven
3:02
Speaker 2: was good enough per game to be number one. Seattle
3:07
Speaker 2: almost doubled that. Wow, So I just and then the
3:10
Speaker 2: special teams huge discrepancies that There's been times this year,
3:14
Speaker 2: late in the year where Seattle was number one and
3:16
Speaker 2: special teams EPA and the Rams were thirty second. So
3:21
Speaker 2: four of the five categories here, you know, just clearly
3:27
Speaker 2: point to Seattle. There's no question the Rams have the
3:29
Speaker 2: better quarterback. He's gonna be the MVP. I hope you
3:34
Speaker 2: asked me a follow up question about Darnold, but I'll
3:36
Speaker 2: give the nod, you know, sensibly and obviously to Matthew Stafford.
3:42
Speaker 2: In the passing game, they get Devonte Adams back. But
3:46
Speaker 2: is one component the Rams are better in one component?
3:49
Speaker 2: Is that really enough to offset the four other components?
3:53
Speaker 2: Seattle's better then, I don't think so. But you know,
3:58
Speaker 2: quarterbacks have put a team on their back.
4:00
Speaker 3: Before.
4:01
Speaker 2: We'll see if it happens Sunday, hope, but hopefully it doesn't.
4:03
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, that's a good way to look at the
4:05
Speaker 4: thirty thousand foot view. Kind of feels like there's advantage
4:08
Speaker 4: Seahawks in a lot of them. But you said not
4:10
Speaker 4: in the quarterback position understandably, So I suppose Matthew Stafford
4:14
Speaker 4: is probably going to be the MVP at the end
4:15
Speaker 4: of this thing. But why or what is it about
4:18
Speaker 4: Sam Darnold that is less than.
4:21
Speaker 2: Well, you know, he was flying along the He still
4:25
Speaker 2: ends up second in the NFL in yards per dropback,
4:30
Speaker 2: which is an extremely high, in fact, the highest potency
4:34
Speaker 2: rate EXCIMI correlation rate and potency rate. So that's a
4:38
Speaker 2: big yards per dropback. You know, you have yards per attempting,
4:42
Speaker 2: you have net yards per tempt yards per dropback includes
4:45
Speaker 2: sacks and scrambles, and so it's like every time Clint
4:50
Speaker 2: Kubiak calls a pass play, what's the result? And and
4:55
Speaker 2: Donald is number two. But a couple of things, you know,
4:59
Speaker 2: while they were really stretch in the field that the
5:04
Speaker 2: prior to Thanksgiving air yards per attempt at that juncture,
5:09
Speaker 2: we would have said Donald's number two in the NFL.
5:12
Speaker 2: Since then, thirty second, they've gone from eight point nine
5:16
Speaker 2: to six point two. You know that's a concern passing
5:20
Speaker 2: yards per completion. Before Thanksgiving, Donald was number one, thirteen
5:24
Speaker 2: point four. Now he's fifteenth to ten point eight. But
5:28
Speaker 2: I do want to say about him that, you know,
5:31
Speaker 2: I heard you guys talking about some of the critique.
5:34
Speaker 2: Here's some some inarguable facts. This is really simple. Sam Donald,
5:40
Speaker 2: for the first time in his career, sat in Carolina
5:44
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty two. He had a high ankle sprain
5:47
Speaker 2: and blah blah blah, and he did not start until
5:51
Speaker 2: the twelfth game. Since that time, he has call it
5:55
Speaker 2: Thanksgiving of twenty twenty two. Since that time, he has
5:59
Speaker 2: forty three starts for four different teams. He's won thirty
6:03
Speaker 2: three of forty three. This is regular season and playoff.
6:07
Speaker 2: He's won thirty three of forty three. That's seventy six
6:10
Speaker 2: point seven percent of his games. That's number one of
6:13
Speaker 2: all quarterbacks. There's sixty eight quarterbacks who have started five
6:17
Speaker 2: or more games since then. That's he has the number
6:20
Speaker 2: one win percentage of all those since Thanksgiving of twenty
6:24
Speaker 2: twenty two, and that his number of one hundred or
6:29
Speaker 2: more passer rating games. Twenty six of forty three games
6:33
Speaker 2: he has had one hundred or more passer rating. These
6:36
Speaker 2: are regular season playoffs. That is number one in the
6:39
Speaker 2: NFL sixty point five percent. Second is Jared Goff. So
6:44
Speaker 2: let me just summarize it. Set in that period, he's
6:48
Speaker 2: the win he has the highest win percentage and the
6:51
Speaker 2: highest percentage of his of his games that he produces
6:54
Speaker 2: one hundred or more passer rating. I don't understand why
6:57
Speaker 2: some people can't say this. If you talk to a
7:01
Speaker 2: I don't know, occupational psychologists or something in any field
7:05
Speaker 2: and you said that there's you know, thirty two starting quarterbacks.
7:08
Speaker 2: Let's say there's forty candidates. Let's just say forty. Nobody
7:12
Speaker 2: would ever say that all forty of them are going
7:16
Speaker 2: to be exactly as at age twenty eight as they
7:22
Speaker 2: were at age twenty one. Nobody would say that. In
7:24
Speaker 2: any field. They would say, look, let's just say arguably
7:28
Speaker 2: most of them, you are who you are. But somebody
7:31
Speaker 2: at some point in every field would say no. We
7:34
Speaker 2: would expect that some people have improvement in their jobs,
7:40
Speaker 2: and it's like we just want to say no, all
7:44
Speaker 2: forty perspective and past you know, starting quarterbacks.
7:48
Speaker 1: They are.
7:49
Speaker 2: They're whoever they were at twenty one, That's who they're
7:52
Speaker 2: going to be at twenty eight. Nobody's ever going to improve.
7:54
Speaker 2: Nobody would say that. No psychologists, no, no sensibly thinking
7:57
Speaker 2: person would think that. If you act least thought about
8:00
Speaker 2: it for a minute, you would actually say, even if
8:02
Speaker 2: you didn't know if a football was pumped or stuffed,
8:05
Speaker 2: you would expect that we would get a handful of
8:08
Speaker 2: forty guys that would actually improve. And you know these numbers,
8:14
Speaker 2: you know, they just keep screaming at us. Hey, I'm
8:17
Speaker 2: one of the dudes. I'm one of the dudes who
8:19
Speaker 2: actually found a way to improve at his job. Yes, yeah,
8:26
Speaker 2: and yet the narrative continues. Yeah, I mean it's crazy,
8:30
Speaker 2: and you know, and it's going everywhere. I mean, I
8:33
Speaker 2: just heard this morning.
8:34
Speaker 1: Most people in the football world don't believe in Sam Darnold.
8:39
Speaker 1: I heard that quote from a national analyst who used
8:42
Speaker 1: to play football in the NFL. It just won't stop.
8:45
Speaker 1: So I hope, for no other reason, Seahawks go to
8:49
Speaker 1: the super Bowl just to shut some people up.
8:52
Speaker 2: Yeah, that among many reasons, right, Yeah, exactly, I understand
8:56
Speaker 2: you you know, like steven A. He's, you know, something
8:58
Speaker 2: digging in and if you if you, if you paint
9:01
Speaker 2: the argument like, hey, sooner or later, this guy's gonna
9:05
Speaker 2: turn into a pumpkin.
9:06
Speaker 3: Right.
9:07
Speaker 2: Uh uh, Well, if if you set the rules that
9:09
Speaker 2: way and you just sit there and you wait, and
9:12
Speaker 2: it doesn't matter how many wins he gets in there,
9:14
Speaker 2: and then eventually he has a bad game and you lose,
9:17
Speaker 2: well you've just crafted the argument where you can't lose.
9:20
Speaker 1: Yeah.
9:20
Speaker 2: So yeah, all those guys, by their terms of their rules,
9:23
Speaker 2: how they define the argument, they're gonna, you know, they're
9:26
Speaker 2: gonna win eventually, because eventually Darnold's gonna have a bad
9:30
Speaker 2: game and they're gonna and the Seahawks are gonna lose.
9:31
Speaker 2: And then I told you, I told you that was
9:34
Speaker 2: gonna you know whatever. Okay, yeah, go ahead, create the
9:38
Speaker 2: rules if you know, I guess if you when you
9:40
Speaker 2: play basketball, you can you can double dribble and travel,
9:43
Speaker 2: pick up the ball, hold it in your arm, whatever.
9:45
Speaker 2: Create the rules how you want, you know, narrative Yeah right.
9:51
Speaker 1: Ah, the QB one's got a lot of stuff figured out.
9:53
Speaker 1: Humellen is with us here Monday morning, Uh not Monday
9:57
Speaker 1: morning quarterbacking where you are Friday X is an o ing.
9:59
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna go all the way back to Monday.
10:01
Speaker 1: We are getting ready for Sunday. And his segment brought
10:04
Speaker 1: to you by Frost Brewed Corps Light. But I think
10:06
Speaker 1: back to the two games these two teams have faced,
10:09
Speaker 1: my goodness, strange like mirror images of one another. And
10:16
Speaker 1: and yet Gray's abel has gone as far hugh as
10:19
Speaker 1: to saying that might be the two worst games that
10:21
Speaker 1: we played all season long. What do you make sense
10:24
Speaker 1: of those two matchups that can help us try to
10:26
Speaker 1: evaluate Sunday.
10:28
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you know, credit him. You know, I went
10:31
Speaker 2: back and you know, watched the tapes and in the
10:33
Speaker 2: most recent recent game he had, he had, he gave
10:36
Speaker 2: up a couple of stats.
10:37
Speaker 3: Sacks.
10:38
Speaker 2: Kobe Turner number ninety one is a real wide uh
10:42
Speaker 2: you know, just bull of a guy. And and in
10:44
Speaker 2: one of them, there's what we call I'm gonna get
10:47
Speaker 2: a little exy, you know, here at two tech basically
10:49
Speaker 2: right right over the guard, he did a rip an
10:54
Speaker 2: arm over go to it, going into his outside gap.
10:58
Speaker 2: And then and then later he's a three tech way
11:00
Speaker 2: out to the outside and he did a rip arm
11:05
Speaker 2: under and then in both of those cases he was
11:11
Speaker 2: in the B gap, but it was Kobe Turner. He
11:12
Speaker 2: also had a false start, gave up three pressures. Looked
11:15
Speaker 2: up the first game he had three pressures those were.
11:19
Speaker 1: One of them was to Turner.
11:21
Speaker 2: But also he got locked up against Jared Verse on
11:26
Speaker 2: one where he term is called fanned out where the
11:29
Speaker 2: guard has to take the end. That was a bad
11:31
Speaker 2: mismatch and Landman, the linebacker got of got him in
11:38
Speaker 2: a bull rush. So yeah, he's had some bad plays,
11:41
Speaker 2: but you know, I think the guy's a tough kid
11:43
Speaker 2: mentally and he'll battle through Sunday.
11:46
Speaker 3: All right.
11:47
Speaker 4: Well, one guy that doesn't have a lot of bad
11:49
Speaker 4: plays but had a whole bunch of good ones is
11:51
Speaker 4: pook and a Coup. I mean, I don't know for
11:54
Speaker 4: sure if you win, if you let him go off
11:55
Speaker 4: for twelve and two twenty five and a couple of touchdowns,
11:58
Speaker 4: what do they gotta.
11:58
Speaker 1: Do to slow that dude down?
12:00
Speaker 2: Well, we mentioned yesterday, you know in each of the
12:03
Speaker 2: would you be okay with this? How about if Pooka
12:06
Speaker 2: has seven catches for seventy five yards, no touchdowns and oh,
12:11
Speaker 2: by the way, we punch out a fumble on them
12:13
Speaker 2: would be okay with that. Yeah, well that's what Pooka
12:17
Speaker 2: had down in LA and that's when they had Davonte
12:20
Speaker 2: Adams now up in Seattle, things kind of got away
12:23
Speaker 2: from them. The four catches over ten yards were all
12:27
Speaker 2: over twenty five yards. The two mill you know, two
12:32
Speaker 2: deep crossing routes where you know he beat Ernest Jones
12:37
Speaker 2: and then twice on those. So in zone coverage they
12:41
Speaker 2: were different. One was a three deep, one was a
12:43
Speaker 2: two deep. But in zone coverage, those hook zone defenders
12:47
Speaker 2: think of them like the second base and the shortstops.
12:49
Speaker 2: They have to be able to be able to be
12:52
Speaker 2: aware of when Nikua is coming into their area. The
12:56
Speaker 2: other one, now, I think you guys could vouch for me.
12:59
Speaker 2: I'm I'm been about as strong as a guy could
13:02
Speaker 2: be on Mike McDonald, right. You know, stayed up most
13:06
Speaker 2: of the night when he got acquired and came on
13:09
Speaker 2: your show, and I said, hey, look, I think this
13:10
Speaker 2: guy's the premier defensive mind on the planet.
13:13
Speaker 3: Yep.
13:13
Speaker 1: And so.
13:16
Speaker 2: I think you'd be hard pressed to find somebody more
13:18
Speaker 2: supportive of Mike McDonald. I love the guy, you know,
13:21
Speaker 2: his personality, who he is, as a professional, his vision
13:25
Speaker 2: for defensive football and what have you. That's a preface
13:28
Speaker 2: to say that fifty eight yarder, that that Nikua had
13:33
Speaker 2: the longest gain, that was borderline football malpractice. And let
13:40
Speaker 2: me explain what I mean if if you there's a
13:43
Speaker 2: thing called cover zero and the NFL plays it at
13:46
Speaker 2: about two point six percent of the time on the aggregate.
13:49
Speaker 2: People do not want to pull a safety out of
13:51
Speaker 2: the middle. But when you pull a safety out of
13:54
Speaker 2: the middle, you jolly well better be Russian. Seven guys
13:57
Speaker 2: and trying to get to the quarterback in me. Well,
14:02
Speaker 2: Seattle had a play where Pooka Nicola lined on the
14:06
Speaker 2: right side and and they played event for Kobe Bryant's standpoint,
14:11
Speaker 2: they played cover zero, which means he was head up
14:14
Speaker 2: over Pooker Nicoua. No no denying of free access, no redirect.
14:20
Speaker 2: And because he's in the slot, Kobe Bryant had to
14:23
Speaker 2: cover the corner route and all outbreaking routes. He had
14:26
Speaker 2: to cover in breaking routes with no help. He was
14:31
Speaker 2: the safety in man to man, he had to have
14:35
Speaker 2: vertical It was just it's an awful thing. I'm not
14:38
Speaker 2: saying this for effect. I'm saying this, literally, tell me
14:43
Speaker 2: who the best corner in the league is. Christian Gonzalez,
14:47
Speaker 2: Pat Sertan, pick your guy. And I played with Dion
14:52
Speaker 2: Sanders in in Atlanta and.
14:55
Speaker 1: That going on.
14:56
Speaker 2: If you had any corner in the the NFL matched
15:01
Speaker 2: up in the slot like that and you only rush
15:04
Speaker 2: five guys and you don't you you give the MVP
15:07
Speaker 2: Matthew Stafford a chance to throw on a three way break.
15:11
Speaker 2: It essentially covers zero against Pat Sertan. I'm putting my
15:17
Speaker 2: money on on the offense all day long. That's like
15:20
Speaker 2: seven one. That's like one on one drill in in practice.
15:23
Speaker 2: That is literally like one on one. And that's what
15:26
Speaker 2: they did with uh, Kobe Bryant on Pokin Coda. And
15:30
Speaker 2: you say, well, Kobe got Bryant got beat your jolly well,
15:33
Speaker 2: righty got beat because he was asked to do something
15:35
Speaker 2: he should never be asked to do. No corner in
15:38
Speaker 2: the NFL should be asked to do what he did.
15:40
Speaker 3: Uh.
15:41
Speaker 2: I don't care who you are in history. And so
15:45
Speaker 2: I say that as a critique of what happened on
15:47
Speaker 2: that play. But also here's the comma, there's no way
15:51
Speaker 2: Mike McDonald's doing that again, no way, like like there's
15:55
Speaker 2: this is very fixable. On the other side, Uh, the safety,
15:58
Speaker 2: there was a you know, the Ricky tight end. You
16:01
Speaker 2: know you jammed and redirected him. You should have spent
16:04
Speaker 2: your resources to jam and redirect Pooka Nikula. So that's
16:08
Speaker 2: a that's just a big like that would be the
16:10
Speaker 2: equivalent of a pick six Mike McDonald, you know, by
16:13
Speaker 2: quarterback terms on a coaching that was a pick six.
16:16
Speaker 1: Well, I hope he's uh, and I know he will
16:18
Speaker 1: have some strategies to slow that guy down because the
16:21
Speaker 1: only other alternative is an exorcism because he looked like
16:24
Speaker 1: a demon.
16:26
Speaker 2: Well you know there's another one though, that's like the
16:28
Speaker 2: one outbreaking route on the long you know, he'd beat
16:33
Speaker 2: Devin Witherspoon on a corner route and Witherspoon had dead
16:36
Speaker 2: perfect coverage and it was just a beautiful high and
16:39
Speaker 2: away throw.
16:40
Speaker 1: Pooka went up and got the ball.
16:42
Speaker 2: And if you're coaching Witherspoon and he says, well, what
16:46
Speaker 2: should I do different? Your answer is nothing. You know,
16:49
Speaker 2: like you were right there. We didn't get the pressure
16:52
Speaker 2: and man and man Donald had a clean pocket. Excuse me, obviously,
16:56
Speaker 2: Stafford had a clean pocket, and he, you know, the
17:00
Speaker 2: quarterback in the world arguably right now through to the
17:03
Speaker 2: best receiver a perfect throw. So you know, they they
17:07
Speaker 2: they're gonna win some too. They're getting paid and they're
17:10
Speaker 2: you know, they're winning a lot of trophies at the
17:12
Speaker 2: end for things like MVP and play Offensive Player of
17:15
Speaker 2: the Year and all that kind of stuff.
17:16
Speaker 1: So yeah, it's just one of one of those kind
17:18
Speaker 1: of games. Hopefully they clean a few of those up.
17:21
Speaker 1: Hugh Mellan is with us. I mean, there's so many
17:22
Speaker 1: different angles that we could go with, but I want
17:25
Speaker 1: to use our last minute or two for Bucky's sake,
17:28
Speaker 1: because in the other game, we obviously have a very
17:32
Speaker 1: interesting thing involving a quarterback that's going to happen. And
17:36
Speaker 1: you always self deprecate. I mean, you were a heck
17:39
Speaker 1: of a quarterback, but you know, you spent some time
17:42
Speaker 1: as a backup in the National Football League, and so
17:45
Speaker 1: you could have very easily been Jared s did. If
17:48
Speaker 1: you could have been the guy that John Elway got
17:50
Speaker 1: to the doorstep of the Super Bowl and then all
17:53
Speaker 1: of a sudden, you know, rolls his ankle in the shower. Milon,
17:56
Speaker 1: you're starting the AFC Championship Game. So how would you
18:01
Speaker 1: have felt in that situation? How is Jared Stidham feeling
18:04
Speaker 1: right now in this situation?
18:06
Speaker 2: Well, I don't know Jared Stidham. He's been in the
18:09
Speaker 2: league seven years. I think he's got real traits. I mean,
18:14
Speaker 2: he was originally drafted to be the heir apparent to
18:16
Speaker 2: Tom Brady, was he not? And and so I would
18:21
Speaker 2: just say, I think he's nervous, but he's been around
18:25
Speaker 2: long enough to know that if you know, he can
18:27
Speaker 2: calm those nerve nerves down quite a bit. I mean
18:30
Speaker 2: Troy Aikman, bless his heart, Troy Aikman admitted in the
18:33
Speaker 2: first quarter of his first Super Bowl he was hyperventil
18:36
Speaker 2: and he was so nervous that everything just got totally
18:39
Speaker 2: overwhelming to him playing in the Rose Bowl, you know,
18:42
Speaker 2: a stadium that he was familiar with, Like, he just
18:44
Speaker 2: couldn't handle the nerves and it took him a long
18:46
Speaker 2: damn time. Now he ended up being the MVP, so
18:49
Speaker 2: he can tell the media. But there's a lot of
18:51
Speaker 2: guys who've had bad games that would never say that.
18:54
Speaker 2: So I think, yeah, I think he's gonna be really nervous,
18:56
Speaker 2: But I think, and I'm not a big Sean Pate,
19:00
Speaker 2: I think the thing that he said about Hackett was
19:04
Speaker 2: just as classless as as can be. So I think
19:09
Speaker 2: that dude's got an ego.
19:09
Speaker 1: I'm not.
19:10
Speaker 2: I'm not a Sean Payton fan, but I can recognize
19:12
Speaker 2: this guy's freaking good, really good. Look what he did
19:17
Speaker 2: at Drew Brees with Drew Brees obviously, Look what he's
19:19
Speaker 2: done with UH with No Nicks. And and so I
19:24
Speaker 2: would say it's not gonna shock I think New England.
19:29
Speaker 2: I think they're gonna hold him in check. But if
19:32
Speaker 2: they can protect from him and and he gets that
19:34
Speaker 2: those first you know, three four, five plays of Sean
19:38
Speaker 2: Payton's gonna devise something to give him the best chance
19:42
Speaker 2: to start, get some completions and feel confident. And then
19:46
Speaker 2: don't be surprised if Sean Payton finds a way to
19:51
Speaker 2: get a game plan together that that you know, you know,
19:56
Speaker 2: keeps the Broncos in it longer than you think. I
19:58
Speaker 2: think I would bet against him. I would bet against him,
20:02
Speaker 2: But there is a model in my mind, a you know,
20:05
Speaker 2: a one in three or one in four chance that
20:09
Speaker 2: that Stidham just balls out, And primarily because of Sean
20:13
Speaker 2: Payton's understanding of quarterback coaching and constructing an offense around
20:18
Speaker 2: a player.
20:18
Speaker 1: Strings awesome, All right, man, Well enjoy it on Sunday.
20:21
Speaker 1: We look forward to the recap on Monday. Hopefully we'll

21:24
Speaker 1: Bucky before the show comes to a close.
21:26
Speaker 3: Okay.
21:27
Speaker 1: I jumped all over Rick Riz for him not putting
21:32
Speaker 1: you as his MLB network greatest DH. Thank you time
21:37
Speaker 1: and making putting Edgar Martinez there? What do he tell
21:41
Speaker 1: you when you and he said he wanted me to
21:44
Speaker 1: tell you O F Bucky. Oh oh yeah there is
21:52
Speaker 1: said that I wanted to pass that along to you.
21:54
Speaker 3: Pow.
21:55
Speaker 6: It was just a year ago. He was wishing you
21:57
Speaker 6: luck on your colonoscopy. Look at it?
21:58
Speaker 1: How you follow?
21:59
Speaker 4: Yeah exactly now it's f me huh, just simply because
22:03
Speaker 4: you were pointing out something that's basically obvious, right, I
22:08
Speaker 4: mean some people would even say great. Yeah, but he
22:14
Speaker 4: wanted me to pass that along to bottom line is
22:16
Speaker 4: head to head matters, right. And when he and our
22:18
Speaker 4: own same team, I was the d H and.
22:21
Speaker 1: He had to retire. All right, they'll take that. That's good.
22:25
Speaker 1: You just you just hold on it is. Mike Onger
22:30
Speaker 1: now joins us here on the program. Good morning, sir.
22:35
Speaker 3: Good morning guys. Pretty good. Uh that's good? Yeah, good morning.
22:39
Speaker 3: How's it going great?
22:40
Speaker 1: Great? All right, So I need you to help Ashley
22:43
Speaker 1: and I here a little bit. You are not only
22:46
Speaker 1: a great X's and o's, one of the greatest minds,
22:49
Speaker 1: the greatest coderback coaches in the history of the NFL,
22:51
Speaker 1: but also obviously a phenomenal leader of people. You've proven
22:56
Speaker 1: that over time. So I need your leadership. I need
22:58
Speaker 1: your guidance. This Sunday, the Seahawks and the Broncos both win.
23:04
Speaker 1: How would you advise Ashley and I over the course
23:07
Speaker 1: of two weeks of shows to handle the last meeting
23:12
Speaker 1: between the Seahawks and the Broncos in the Super Bowl?
23:15
Speaker 1: How should we do that? Delicately? Around Bucky.
23:20
Speaker 3: Well, you know, I've felt his wrath before and that's
23:26
Speaker 3: a tough one because he's a big, strong guy. We
23:30
Speaker 3: love him, but he's got a blind spot, a little
23:33
Speaker 3: bit of a blind spot with the with the Broncos,
23:38
Speaker 3: you know. So I would just say, be careful, steer clear,
23:44
Speaker 3: and yeah, I don't think I'm kind of an into
23:46
Speaker 3: the studio that weekend. I'll just stay away.
23:49
Speaker 1: But if the needle had to point to tread lightly
23:53
Speaker 1: or rub it in.
23:54
Speaker 6: His face, yeah, or play endless highlights of the forty
23:56
Speaker 6: three to eight win.
23:57
Speaker 1: Where would it? Where would your needle point? As a
24:00
Speaker 1: leader of us?
24:01
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, you know what, I've teased him enough about it.
24:04
Speaker 3: He's been teased over the by you a little bit.
24:07
Speaker 3: So I back away and just handle it.
24:12
Speaker 6: I love you, but you're dead wrong here.
24:16
Speaker 3: Sports. You know what I'm trying. I'm trying for the dip.
24:20
Speaker 6: He's dip in the future. He's got a cloud, he's
24:24
Speaker 6: got other things on his mind. This is it's a
24:26
Speaker 6: tainted survey.
24:27
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I think it just wouldn't take much for
24:29
Speaker 3: him to say, hey, I can't give it to you
24:31
Speaker 3: because I'm this. That's fair and I don't want to
24:34
Speaker 3: go there.
24:34
Speaker 6: That's fair.
24:35
Speaker 4: It's possible if you did rub it, and you may,
24:37
Speaker 4: I might just bring in out dick in front of you. Yeah. No,
24:41
Speaker 4: I'd bring it in and be like, oh you want
24:42
Speaker 4: some of this, coach. No, not one of those sniper
24:44
Speaker 4: remarks about my broncos I've dealt with enough pain from
24:48
Speaker 4: that forty three to eight shellacking, only two weeks of
24:52
Speaker 4: it leading up to the next one.
24:54
Speaker 1: Just one, then one. But he's been one week treading
24:57
Speaker 1: lightly one week, all right. I think I like that.
25:00
Speaker 1: I think we've reached a good compromise. I think we
25:02
Speaker 1: have the best all right, coach, here we go. Conference
25:08
Speaker 1: championship game coming up on Sunday. What's Mike McDonald making
25:13
Speaker 1: sure that he's got down on lock so he's got
25:16
Speaker 1: his guys ready to go at the exact time of
25:20
Speaker 1: kickoff to be at their fiercest and most focused.
25:24
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, I heard him speak to that a
25:26
Speaker 3: little bit this week, talking about how it's a it's
25:29
Speaker 3: a normal week when when it's not a normal week,
25:32
Speaker 3: but he kind of targeted a normal week. Our practice
25:34
Speaker 3: plan is the same. Everything he said I agreed with
25:38
Speaker 3: And I said, Okay, they're preparing for this the way
25:42
Speaker 3: that you know you should. He's this. You know, I
25:46
Speaker 3: was in a lot of playoff games. He is going
25:48
Speaker 3: to be in a lot of playoff games, and they're
25:52
Speaker 3: doing it the right way. And I think he just knows, uh,
25:56
Speaker 3: based on what Stafford and with the Rams offense did
26:00
Speaker 3: in that one game, Uh, you know, that's what he's
26:05
Speaker 3: That's what he's planned for defending that that he that
26:09
Speaker 3: really is the focus the high scoring game, not the
26:11
Speaker 3: first one.
26:13
Speaker 1: How how much pressure? I mean, where's the pressure?
26:16
Speaker 3: Lie?
26:16
Speaker 4: It kind of feels to me that maybe the Seahawks
26:19
Speaker 4: are I mean, right now, I think that most people
26:21
Speaker 4: consider them the favorites to win at all. And yet
26:24
Speaker 4: I don't think that was the thought coming into the
26:26
Speaker 4: into the season. And so there's pressure that comes with
26:29
Speaker 4: all of a sudden arriving on the doorstep and you're
26:31
Speaker 4: right there versus you know, you have an aging quarterback,
26:34
Speaker 4: the guy that's probably gonna win the m v P
26:36
Speaker 4: and and they've been there, done that before. Which team
26:40
Speaker 4: do you feel has more pressure going into this game?
26:43
Speaker 3: Oh gosh, I think there's enough to spread around in
26:47
Speaker 3: my opinion, you know, But I think that that, you know,
26:52
Speaker 3: the Rams coming into the season, I think we're the favorite,
26:55
Speaker 3: odds on favorite, and the Seahawks have had a remarkable year,
27:00
Speaker 3: and so I think there's more pressure. I think there's
27:05
Speaker 3: more pressure on the Rams, even though the Seahawks are,
27:09
Speaker 3: you know, felt around the league to be the team
27:12
Speaker 3: that's gonna go. But I think the Rams, given that
27:16
Speaker 3: they've been there before and mcveigh's record and all that
27:20
Speaker 3: kind of stuff, I think there's more a little bit
27:22
Speaker 3: more pressure on the Rams.
27:24
Speaker 1: Mike Olmbrian with us here on Chucking Buck in the morning.
27:26
Speaker 1: I mean, we've had a couple of weeks of talking
27:29
Speaker 1: about a Sam Darnold injury. You're coming off a game
27:31
Speaker 1: in which Ken Walker ran wild and Sam only had
27:35
Speaker 1: to throw the ball seventeen times and still put forty
27:38
Speaker 1: one points up on the board. So keeping all of
27:40
Speaker 1: that in mind, how do you start this game offensively?
27:43
Speaker 1: If you're Mike McDonald and Clint Kubiak, are we gonna
27:46
Speaker 1: be aggressive or are you gonna try to see if
27:51
Speaker 1: we can just you know, kind of take the air
27:53
Speaker 1: out of the ball, keep it away from Stafford, run
27:55
Speaker 1: this thing all day long, and then we'll just pick
27:58
Speaker 1: and choose where Sam Arnald throws to loosen up the defense.
28:04
Speaker 3: You know, that's really a good question, Chuck. I would
28:06
Speaker 3: think I would think I would I hope I would
28:09
Speaker 3: like to see him come out throwing it, you know.
28:11
Speaker 3: I mean, of course I have to run with Walker.
28:13
Speaker 3: They're going to incorporate that in there, but they come
28:17
Speaker 3: out and and mix it up pretty good early. You know,
28:20
Speaker 3: play you know you heard this from me before play
28:23
Speaker 3: pass movement, get him off his spot, okay, and then
28:26
Speaker 3: just get the ball in Jakema, you know, just get
28:29
Speaker 3: the ball out of his hands quickly because the Rams
28:31
Speaker 3: have a pretty good defense in front, and you know,
28:35
Speaker 3: start to get that way. Don't know holds, don't hold
28:37
Speaker 3: anything back, just let it fly.
28:40
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean you're talking about ken Walker. He's gonna
28:43
Speaker 4: have to basically carry the load, and yet he has
28:45
Speaker 4: a lot to run for from in your opinion, Uh,
28:49
Speaker 4: the idea of keeping two having two running backs and
28:51
Speaker 4: keeping them both healthy, you know, is the way that
28:54
Speaker 4: you most teams do it nowadays. But what type of
28:57
Speaker 4: benefits do you get when all of a sudden you
28:59
Speaker 4: get a guy in there and he starts to kind
29:01
Speaker 4: of feel himself a little bit and gets to really
29:03
Speaker 4: get roll in the way that they're hoping he does
29:04
Speaker 4: with all the carries this weekend, you.
29:07
Speaker 3: Know, Buck, I think you bring up a good point,
29:08
Speaker 3: because you're right, that wasn't the way we used to
29:12
Speaker 3: do it, you know. And I think during the course
29:15
Speaker 3: they take a Seawan Alexander or Edgar Bennett or guys
29:18
Speaker 3: that had in Green Bay the forty nine ers with
29:21
Speaker 3: Roger Craig. I think the back as the game goes along,
29:26
Speaker 3: you know, you start to feel things, you pop a couple,
29:29
Speaker 3: you start feeling better. You know, you gain a momentum
29:33
Speaker 3: by running the more plays. And now he's going to
29:37
Speaker 3: get that opportunity. You know. The way they've done it
29:40
Speaker 3: so far and played both backs, particularly down the stretcher,
29:45
Speaker 3: it's really worked for him. And now they don't have
29:47
Speaker 3: that second back. I mean, they have a second back,
29:49
Speaker 3: but not like Charbonnay. So we'll see what Walker does.
29:52
Speaker 3: I mean, I you know, I don't. I don't think
29:55
Speaker 3: he gets tired when they take him out of the game.
29:57
Speaker 3: Maybe he gets a little tired, he needs a blow down.
29:59
Speaker 3: And then but if he's if he's feeling good, let
30:02
Speaker 3: him go, let him go. And and and I think
30:05
Speaker 3: I think you got something really special.
30:07
Speaker 1: There, all right. So if you and uh, you know,
30:10
Speaker 1: you know, buddy Ryan, we're out, you know, picking out
30:13
Speaker 1: teams in the backyard, getting ready for a football game.
30:16
Speaker 3: Uh.
30:17
Speaker 1: And you had the Seahawks and Rams players to choose from,
30:20
Speaker 1: getting ready for your pick up football game. And you're like, man,
30:23
Speaker 1: I have to pick a receiver out of this.
30:27
Speaker 3: Uh.
30:28
Speaker 1: And JSN and Puka Nakua are both standing there, who
30:32
Speaker 1: are you making sure you get on your team? Out
30:34
Speaker 1: of those two, I.
30:37
Speaker 3: Would get It'd be close, But I get Nikua. Oh,
30:39
Speaker 3: you know, I think I think he's shown that that
30:43
Speaker 3: he's had a special year, and he doesn't. They have
30:46
Speaker 3: him do a lot of different things. And that's taking
30:51
Speaker 3: not taking a single thing away from n Jigmac because
30:54
Speaker 3: I think I think he's special. But I'd go with
30:58
Speaker 3: the bigger receiver.
30:58
Speaker 1: Wouldn't Buddy Ryan be the last person you would want
31:01
Speaker 1: to play a pickup game though, in the backyard with.
31:04
Speaker 3: Yeah, I didn't trust Buddy when he was coaching. I
31:07
Speaker 3: would not, absolutely not trust him in the backyard.
31:12
Speaker 1: That'd be the cheatingst son of a gun in the
31:14
Speaker 1: history of backyard football right there. All right, So how
31:19
Speaker 1: are you feeling? I mean, here we are a little
31:21
Speaker 1: over forty eight hours from the NFC Conference Championship game.
31:25
Speaker 1: You got the juice going? Just yet? Or when that?
31:28
Speaker 1: When's that going to kick in gear for Mike Homrun.
31:31
Speaker 3: Well, I'm kind of like Mike McDonald. I can't peak
31:35
Speaker 3: too early. I don't want to peak too early, so
31:38
Speaker 3: I'll kind of gradually get into it and then as
31:41
Speaker 3: we approach, you know, I'm gonna go to church on
31:44
Speaker 3: Sunday and then the games at three, and so I
31:48
Speaker 3: can I can pace myself, you know. But then when
31:51
Speaker 3: I when I sit down there and it starts, I'll
31:53
Speaker 3: be ready to go. So it's it'll be. I'm so
31:57
Speaker 3: excited about this game because they the two best teams
32:00
Speaker 3: are playing, and they've had great years, and they have
32:04
Speaker 3: the offense versus defense, the coaches are you know, it's
32:08
Speaker 3: really really quite a matchup, and so I'm excited to
32:12
Speaker 3: see it and hopefully we talk about a win on Monday.
32:17
Speaker 1: Well, I'm guessing you feel good about the Seahawks chances.
32:21
Speaker 3: How good I do? I do? Well, I feel good
32:25
Speaker 3: about it. I think I of course I was wrong
32:28
Speaker 3: last week against the forty nine ers, but I believe
32:31
Speaker 3: this will be a close ballgame. And you know, the
32:35
Speaker 3: team that makes it the same thing that always determines
32:38
Speaker 3: the outcome of a game, I think will determine this one.
32:42
Speaker 3: That's you know, crazy mistakes. But I think watch special
32:47
Speaker 3: teams because specially, I know we returned, you know, she
32:50
Speaker 3: returned that punt and got them going the last game.
32:53
Speaker 3: But you know, the Rams, if they have a weak spot.
32:57
Speaker 3: In my opinion, it's their special teams. I think they're
32:59
Speaker 3: very average, and so I'm going to be watching that carefully.
33:04
Speaker 1: Is it a Swedish meatball Sunday slider Sunday? What are
33:07
Speaker 1: we doing well?
33:09
Speaker 3: I said, I'm pacing myself and I haven't decided yet.
33:12
Speaker 3: I'm torn. I'm hoping I get a package of some
33:16
Speaker 3: dip from someone from a friend of mine outside my
33:21
Speaker 3: front door. Perhaps, you know, we'll see.
33:23
Speaker 1: Yeah, that'd be great, Roan, send a drone over there
33:29
Speaker 1: he lives and then yeah, I don't.
33:30
Speaker 3: Know if you want that. Yeah, I mean, but then
33:34
Speaker 3: you know, he might want to come in and watch
33:36
Speaker 3: the game with me, and I can't. We can't know.
33:38
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, we can't do that.
33:40
Speaker 6: Okay, Yeah, but you can trick or treat it his
33:41
Speaker 6: house next Halloween.
33:42
Speaker 1: Okay. He loves that.
33:44
Speaker 6: He loves it.
33:46
Speaker 1: All right, coach, enjoy. We'll talk to you on Monday.
33:49
Speaker 3: All right, guys, have a great weekend.

Speaker 1: some people from R and R yesterday. They were very
34:05
Speaker 1: nice people. Uh and slab Jack raised sunk in concrete
34:08
Speaker 1: with one eight six six slab with a B Jack
34:13
Speaker 1: Booze news to close out the week. X. Wow, all right,
34:31
Speaker 1: it's Chuck, it's Buck, it is Ashley. We have reached
34:34
Speaker 1: the end of conference championship week. You know how we
34:37
Speaker 1: tag things out and I am expecting an awfully special
34:42
Speaker 1: version of this today.
34:45
Speaker 6: Prepared to be disappointed.
34:47
Speaker 1: Oh you know what, It's time for booze News.
34:50
Speaker 6: I'm Ashley in. This is the Bouz News.
34:53
Speaker 1: Cheers everybody Happy Conference Championship Week and Bucky Happy Conference
34:59
Speaker 1: Championship Week.
35:00
Speaker 6: See something we can all celebrate together. A bus News
35:03
Speaker 6: is brought to you by Bradley Johnson Lawyers.
35:05
Speaker 1: What eight hundred do you wide away?
35:08
Speaker 6: So apparently this is a big Friday. I'm not sure
35:10
Speaker 6: if you guys heard. We are two sleeps away from
35:13
Speaker 6: the NFC Championship. That's right, The biggest home game of
35:16
Speaker 6: the year going down Sunday at lumen Field, the biggest
35:20
Speaker 6: home game since two thy fifteen, that is eleven years.
35:25
Speaker 6: This is huge and there is only one way to
35:28
Speaker 6: celebrate a game. This big Tucker we Moore is performing
35:32
Speaker 6: at halftime.
35:36
Speaker 1: Ok it's really it's really under his skin. I guess
35:41
Speaker 1: he Williams push.
35:43
Speaker 6: Okay, Now again, this is not a knock on Tucker Wetmore.
35:47
Speaker 6: I need to make this clear. He has an up
35:48
Speaker 6: and comer. He is a very good country singer, and
35:50
Speaker 6: he's local. But let's put this in perspective, because I
35:53
Speaker 6: think that's what some people need, a little perspective. Last
35:56
Speaker 6: week they had Little John Yeah. In the twenty fifteen
36:01
Speaker 6: NSC Championship, they had Alice in Chains. Yeah.
36:05
Speaker 3: You hmm.
36:06
Speaker 6: Like when when you hear Tucker Wetmore, you go who m.
36:10
Speaker 3: Yeah.
36:10
Speaker 6: Those are awesome gets. Those match the significance of the
36:14
Speaker 6: games that are being played. And I'm not saying that
36:16
Speaker 6: the Seahawks need these bands to you know, be amped up,
36:21
Speaker 6: or that the crowd even needs it. I'm just saying
36:23
Speaker 6: you should match the energy of the game. And I
36:26
Speaker 6: don't know that Tucker Wetmore is the answer. So yes,
36:30
Speaker 6: people on X you are correct. It is a huge
36:33
Speaker 6: opportunity for Wetmore. That is not the point. And yes,
36:37
Speaker 6: maybe he will put on a great show. That's not
36:39
Speaker 6: the point Alice in Chains. When you hear that, you think, huh,
36:43
Speaker 6: that's awesome. Alison Chains performed the NFC Championship. That's pretty badass.
36:47
Speaker 6: When you hear Tucker Wetmore, half the people said, who
36:50
Speaker 6: mm hmm, Alison Chains are Little John might not be
36:53
Speaker 6: your style of music or your favorite, but at least
36:56
Speaker 6: you know who they are. They are household names. Sibby
36:59
Speaker 6: hard Heart would be amazing.
37:01
Speaker 1: I want to hear Barrakuda.
37:03
Speaker 6: Oh my gosh, that would be badass. You'd be like
37:05
Speaker 6: Heart performed at the NFC Championship, and I know you can't.
37:08
Speaker 1: It's a dimension, don't performing. By the way, Yeah they.
37:10
Speaker 6: Were, they've been on tour. Yeah, I don't know, can't tell.
37:13
Speaker 6: I'm focusing on that though, so that I can call
37:15
Speaker 6: the anxious energy because at least last week's game was
37:19
Speaker 6: on a Saturday, so we only have like twenty twenty
37:22
Speaker 6: nine hours after we left here before it was kickoff time. Yeah,
37:25
Speaker 6: we've got fifty something hours until this kickoff, so you.
37:31
Speaker 1: Better just spend it ripping on Tucker.
37:34
Speaker 6: That's all I can think to do, because there is
37:35
Speaker 6: no amount of tacos or taco sauce that is gonna
37:38
Speaker 6: calm these nerves, especially not if you're also.
37:41
Speaker 1: Well, maybe you just spend fifty hours getting to know
37:43
Speaker 1: Tucker Wetmore's entire library of work, and I might.
37:45
Speaker 6: I've already listened to a couple songs.
37:47
Speaker 1: Again, say you're gonna be a crazy thing.
37:49
Speaker 6: I'm gonna be like, Oh, thank god they got Tucker
37:51
Speaker 6: web Ball.
37:52
Speaker 1: Oh this is my favorite. The best.
37:56
Speaker 6: I will say. If you are trying to calm your nerves,
37:59
Speaker 6: focus on Tucker webt More instead of the game, especially
38:01
Speaker 6: if you're taking Michael Bennett's approach, focus on something anything else.
38:07
Speaker 1: I wanted so badly to ask coach if he'd done that.
38:10
Speaker 6: Oh god, now, that would have been the most awkward
38:12
Speaker 6: question ever asked of coach Mike Congren that no, he
38:16
Speaker 6: would have probably just not even he wouldn't have even
38:18
Speaker 6: done the I'm very uncomfortable thing. It would have just
38:21
Speaker 6: been silence. Oh, that would have been awesome. So the
38:25
Speaker 6: Rams do come to town for the third matchup of
38:27
Speaker 6: the year between these teams, and these two teams have
38:28
Speaker 6: been as closely matched as two teams possibly can be,
38:31
Speaker 6: which is making me start to sweat. So thank god
38:34
Speaker 6: we're drinking now.
38:35
Speaker 1: Yeah, cheers, cheers, everybody cheers.
38:37
Speaker 6: Deep breaths. But one thing is for certain, win or lose,
38:41
Speaker 6: the three of us will come to work on Monday.
38:44
Speaker 1: Yes, that is that is true.
38:48
Speaker 6: Maybe win or lose will all be in the office.
38:51
Speaker 6: Maybe it's a three thirty kickoff. I can't freaking wait.
38:54
Speaker 6: Thirty one twenty that's my prediction. Thirty one twenty, Oh, Nykes,
38:58
Speaker 6: I like it. Let's go. Yeah, we have another championship
39:00
Speaker 6: game to watch as well and pass the time on Sunday.
39:02
Speaker 6: And my money is on the Denver Broncos. And that
39:06
Speaker 6: Stickham guy, Is that right? That's right?
39:08
Speaker 1: That you don't think that we support you?
39:12
Speaker 2: Yeah?
39:12
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think Also most Seahawk fans want to play
39:16
Speaker 4: against Stickham.
39:17
Speaker 6: No, because I think it's still gonna be a tough
39:19
Speaker 6: matchup either way. I just don't want to have to
39:22
Speaker 6: relive twenty fifteen.
39:26
Speaker 1: Yeah for the next most revenge.
39:29
Speaker 6: Yeah, I want revenge, but we have to relive it
39:31
Speaker 6: every day for the next two weeks.
39:32
Speaker 1: Either either Sea Hawk fan we have spend two weeks
39:36
Speaker 1: Seahawk fans have to think about it, or two weeks
39:38
Speaker 1: Broncos fans.
39:40
Speaker 6: I'd rather have the Broncos fans have.
39:41
Speaker 1: To we would rather put you through anguish. Yeah, I
39:44
Speaker 1: mean that's what friends do. Yeah, Yeah, I've dealt with
39:49
Speaker 1: how good my Seattle friends are. I was pretty happy
39:54
Speaker 1: on the one yard line after a year of turmoil
39:57
Speaker 1: that I went through after forty three days, and as
39:59
Speaker 1: you should have then, there wasn't a lot of people
40:01
Speaker 1: as happy as I was. Well, we got a chance
40:05
Speaker 1: for that.
40:05
Speaker 3: I thought.
40:06
Speaker 1: Today, I'm like, man, we didn't spend enough time like
40:08
Speaker 1: talking about the possibility of that happening this week. But
40:11
Speaker 1: then I'm like, if it is Seahawks bronger, we're gonna
40:13
Speaker 1: have two weeks talking about this, So why am I
40:16
Speaker 1: going to jump again?
40:17
Speaker 3: Yeah?
40:17
Speaker 6: And if it's Seahawks Patriots, two weeks either way, we
40:20
Speaker 6: got two weeks to talk about it. Knock on wood,
40:22
Speaker 6: knock on wood, knock on wood.
40:24
Speaker 1: Notice we didn't have the rams anywhere in that equation. No,
40:27
Speaker 1: all right, that'll do it for us. Thank you very much.
40:29
Speaker 1: We do appreciate it. We'll talk to you Monday morning.
