- 0:55Speaker 4: After traveling with lunatics yesterday, sharing a house with lunatics
- 1:00Speaker 4: last night, and spending an evening out on the town
- 1:04Speaker 4: with the same lunatics, we have finally arrived at doing
- 1:08Speaker 4: sports talk radio here this morning from the vast convention
- 1:13Speaker 4: center here called Radio Row, where about a thousand tables
- 1:18Speaker 4: it feels like, are set out before us. About five
- 1:21Speaker 4: of them occupied morning people, you know, not very reliable,
- 1:26Speaker 4: but about five of them occupied, and we are good
- 1:29Speaker 4: to go. We get to set the tone for this
- 1:31Speaker 4: week of broadcasting. Here from Radio Row, Bucky Jacobson is here.
- 1:36Speaker 4: Ashley Ryan back at the studios. Bucky, welcome to the
- 1:39Speaker 4: super Bowl.
- 1:39Speaker 5: Well, thank you, it's good to be here. And the
- 1:43Speaker 5: lunatic comment yeaheah, I mean we're one of them. Yeah, yeah,
- 1:46Speaker 5: oh yeah, for sure, definitely one of them. This place
- 1:49Speaker 5: is gigantic, and you're right. There's not a ton of
- 1:52Speaker 5: people here because it is about crack of dawn, but
- 1:55Speaker 5: far fewer lunatics here than just the roof we slept
- 1:58Speaker 5: under last night. Yeah, I mean that is what a
- 2:02Speaker 5: band of numb schools.
- 2:04Speaker 4: It is a band of numb schools. But uh boy,
- 2:07Speaker 4: this this hit me hard. This hit me where it hurts.
- 2:10Speaker 5: Ashley.
- 2:11Speaker 4: When Dick Fane, who was nicknamed snow Globe, Yeah, when
- 2:16Speaker 4: I got here, when he's going to bed saying I
- 2:19Speaker 4: can't believe that you guys are so lame that you're
- 2:22Speaker 4: all going to bed. I thah, I thought this was
- 2:24Speaker 4: the one night we're gonna stay up and hang out
- 2:26Speaker 4: for a little bit. When Dick Fane's telling you that
- 2:30Speaker 4: you're the you know, the lame wet blanket. You know,
- 2:33Speaker 4: he's the party animal in the group. Then maybe we
- 2:36Speaker 4: didn't use our time wisely last night.
- 2:38Speaker 5: I think it's a guy that's forgotten what morning radio is.
- 2:42Speaker 6: Like, I think you should have just told him, hey,
- 2:44Speaker 6: you get up with us and then we'll stay up exactly.
- 2:48Speaker 5: Yeah. Yeah, he was just hitting rem sleep when we
- 2:51Speaker 5: were leaving, yeah, to drive down here at like I said,
- 2:54Speaker 5: the boat crack of dawn. So yeah, I think it's. Uh,
- 2:56Speaker 5: I'm with you, though, I mean it's let's be real.
- 2:59Speaker 5: I mean he for him to be the one, like
- 3:02Speaker 5: really already it almost.
- 3:05Speaker 4: Made me go like, you know, what, f you Fane,
- 3:08Speaker 4: get crack open the whiskey.
- 3:10Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, oh.
- 3:11Speaker 7: Man, that would have been a different kind of morning.
- 3:14Speaker 5: It would have been a lot different morning, for sure.
- 3:16Speaker 5: I'm with you on that, though I had the same thought, like,
- 3:18Speaker 5: I don't know if I can allow this. I do
- 3:21Speaker 5: not know for sure if I can be peer pressured
- 3:24Speaker 5: by dick face. He called us out, but I might be.
- 3:27Speaker 5: He called us all out on his way to bed,
- 3:30Speaker 5: and then.
- 3:30Speaker 4: At one point I went out to like get some water,
- 3:32Speaker 4: and he like slammed the door. Oh yeah, yeah, like
- 3:36Speaker 4: almost like, Oh no, don't don't think you're gonna taunt
- 3:39Speaker 4: me with your water party.
- 3:42Speaker 7: Water party.
- 3:43Speaker 5: Oh no, I'm way too upset for that. It's only
- 3:48Speaker 5: ten pm and I don't have to work. I don't
- 3:50Speaker 5: have to work for like eighteen more hours something. Yeah.
- 3:53Speaker 7: That's a different life.
- 3:55Speaker 5: It's a completely different world, is what it is. I'll
- 3:57Speaker 5: be honest though.
- 3:58Speaker 4: As we were traveled, I kind of envisioned like, if
- 4:01Speaker 4: we're gonna do this, it'd probably be Sunday night is
- 4:04Speaker 4: probably the best night to do it. I mean, it's
- 4:05Speaker 4: a terrible tone center, but we did have hours. But
- 4:09Speaker 4: it's amazing where the time went. I mean, we got
- 4:12Speaker 4: here and then the travel it took to get to
- 4:14Speaker 4: the convention center, and then we had some technical issues
- 4:17Speaker 4: that Bucky and I still weren't even sure we're going
- 4:19Speaker 4: to be okay when we arrived this morning, we were
- 4:23Speaker 4: just sort of trusting that they were going to be okay,
- 4:26Speaker 4: and so we had little technical issues, so we had
- 4:28Speaker 4: to stay here a little bit longer, and then we
- 4:30Speaker 4: had to go check into our the KJR house and
- 4:34Speaker 4: then got that settled, and then by the time you
- 4:37Speaker 4: go to dinner, and then you have to discuss where
- 4:40Speaker 4: you're going to go to dinner, and then you have dinner,
- 4:42Speaker 4: and then you calm down from dinner, and then we
- 4:47Speaker 4: had to go grocery shopping. So by the time we
- 4:50Speaker 4: actually got back to the place to actually do something
- 4:53Speaker 4: fun and memorable and KJR Animal House.
- 4:56Speaker 5: Ye, yeah, we were all tired.
- 4:59Speaker 7: Yeah, you're standable and tired.
- 5:02Speaker 5: Yeah. I mean Faine, I think part of it. He's
- 5:04Speaker 5: instilled in such good shape, right, so his body he
- 5:06Speaker 5: just like, yeah, I can keep going. Let's let's do
- 5:08Speaker 5: this thing. Because Softy, who has the same time schedule,
- 5:12Speaker 5: he turned into like an eighty nine year old man.
- 5:14Speaker 4: First to go to bed. Yeah, I mean in the
- 5:17Speaker 4: middle of his pasta goes.
- 5:19Speaker 5: Uh, I'm not doing anything. You know what i'd do
- 5:23Speaker 5: right now, I didn't have to eat.
- 5:26Speaker 7: If I didn't have to eat, well makes you eat?
- 5:28Speaker 5: Yeah, just go to bed. I'm so tired. If I
- 5:32Speaker 5: really are tired, I didn't get a nap like you guys.
- 5:36Speaker 5: We didn't get a nap. Yeah, we were on the scene.
- 5:40Speaker 6: We're here together. I'm in you guys are in his video.
- 5:47Speaker 5: It was fun though it was. It was a good
- 5:49Speaker 5: easy day of travel. I mean, considering not very often
- 5:52Speaker 5: you get to fly from Seattle and it's an hour
- 5:55Speaker 5: and a half flight near in another city. I mean,
- 5:57Speaker 5: San Francisco is probably the closest you get as far
- 5:59Speaker 5: as a little hop skipping a jump from Sea town,
- 6:03Speaker 5: so uh quick. For the most part, I was scared
- 6:05Speaker 5: I wasn't gonna get mo rental car because they decided
- 6:08Speaker 5: to put under the wrong name. Uh, but they still
- 6:11Speaker 5: gave it to me, and then yeah, we we got
- 6:13Speaker 5: all situated.
- 6:14Speaker 4: And I don't have smooth travel. That just does not
- 6:17Speaker 4: synonymous with me. No one ever nicknamed me chuck smooth
- 6:20Speaker 4: travel fowl, so I don't normally have. That was about
- 6:23Speaker 4: as smooth as it could get.
- 6:25Speaker 5: Uh.
- 6:26Speaker 4: The only problem was we had the technical difficulties here.
- 6:28Speaker 4: But yeah, that was about as smooth a travel as
- 6:31Speaker 4: as you could experience under such circumstances.
- 6:34Speaker 5: Yeah, a bunch of other yahoos.
- 6:36Speaker 4: The nice thing you guys, though, are you know you
- 6:38Speaker 4: you can you can handle issues.
- 6:41Speaker 5: I don't handle those too well. Yeah, you're a big
- 6:42Speaker 5: fan of the nest and things being the way they're
- 6:44Speaker 5: supposed to be. I get it makes sense, and you
- 6:47Speaker 5: gotta have different folks with different strokes. So the nice
- 6:50Speaker 5: thing is as I wasn't really all that worried if
- 6:52Speaker 5: our we still Nick? Is it Nick? Who was it
- 6:54Speaker 5: that tried helping us out yesterday? Paul? Paul? Yeah that
- 6:57Speaker 5: wasn't Nick and Paul.
- 7:00Speaker 4: Yeah they're not.
- 7:00Speaker 7: I mean they are both one syllable, So I don't know.
- 7:03Speaker 5: I didn't. I never talked to them. I just basically
- 7:05Speaker 5: was like, it doesn't matter, I will just steal an
- 7:07Speaker 5: Ethernet cable. It's funny how there's a thousand tables in here. Yeah,
- 7:11Speaker 5: and I bet every single one of them's Ethernet cable
- 7:13Speaker 5: works except for this one.
- 7:14Speaker 4: Yeah, I know we all have that.
- 7:16Speaker 5: We stole it from this table, which I think based
- 7:19Speaker 5: on the the print out thing that we got, I
- 7:23Speaker 5: think it is this special Olympics table. Okay, So I
- 7:27Speaker 5: feel bad about taking their cable. Then again, they're not
- 7:29Speaker 5: here right now, so if they come, we'll give them
- 7:32Speaker 5: theirs back and I'll steal from that table whoever that
- 7:34Speaker 5: one is in. Yeah, and if they don't like it,
- 7:36Speaker 5: tough luck. They can get here sooner. First come for surf, right, Yeah,
- 7:39Speaker 5: survival of the fitting.
- 7:40Speaker 7: That's right, yeah, stay the whole week.
- 7:43Speaker 5: I've never fought anyone over an Ethernet cable, but I
- 7:47Speaker 5: will stand on business for KJR.
- 7:49Speaker 4: I think you will fight somebody other than the special
- 7:52Speaker 4: Olympics people.
- 7:53Speaker 5: Yeah, that's why I said I'll give them theirs back.
- 7:56Speaker 5: Whoever is at table one twenty four? Yeah, I mean
- 8:00Speaker 5: for your isn't it.
- 8:00Speaker 4: That's Matt nahegian over there with the San Francisco station.
- 8:03Speaker 4: He's an old boss of mine. You can go fight him, Okay,
- 8:05Speaker 4: it's fine, he can take it. He's tough, Okay, Yeah,
- 8:08Speaker 4: although he was nice. He's the one that directed me
- 8:09Speaker 4: to where the coffee was. Okay, on the third floor. Okay, wonderful.
- 8:13Speaker 5: Uh huh. Nice to get up there and you get
- 8:15Speaker 5: a pastry.
- 8:15Speaker 7: So the coffee's on the third floor. In the bathrooms
- 8:17Speaker 7: are on the seventh floor.
- 8:18Speaker 5: Is that bathrooms are also on the third floor.
- 8:21Speaker 4: Okay, but the but the third floor is like really
- 8:25Speaker 4: like the.
- 8:25Speaker 5: Thirteenth Oh yeah, because these are forty foot high ceilings.
- 8:29Speaker 4: Yeah, so I mean we are not close to any
- 8:33Speaker 4: kind of hospitality.
- 8:35Speaker 5: Okay, to steak it out this morning. The escalators actually
- 8:38Speaker 5: are a quarter mile long. Uh, to go on one floor.
- 8:42Speaker 7: One would say that's quite long.
- 8:43Speaker 5: It's a long escalator. I mean I took a nap
- 8:46Speaker 5: on the way up to get myself a pastry and
- 8:49Speaker 5: it was wonderful nap. I needed it.
- 8:52Speaker 4: There you go.
- 8:52Speaker 7: See, you could have stayed up later. You could have
- 8:54Speaker 7: had you didn't know that there was a nice nap time.
- 8:56Speaker 5: There was a nap escalator. You're right, yep. Tonight I'm
- 8:59Speaker 5: in Taiwan on because I got naps on the escalator. Yeah.
- 9:01Speaker 4: Well, well yeah, you got that in your back pocket.
- 9:04Speaker 4: Well I haven't done one of these. I mean, I've
- 9:06Speaker 4: done six of these, I think in my life. I
- 9:08Speaker 4: think I was doing the math, and so I didn't.
- 9:11Speaker 5: Know about ever.
- 9:12Speaker 4: You know, if the Seahawks didn't get in, we weren't
- 9:15Speaker 4: gonna ever do one of these again. We don't go anymore,
- 9:19Speaker 4: not in the mornings anyway, to Radio Row. So it's
- 9:22Speaker 4: been a while. I kind of thought, maybe I heard
- 9:26Speaker 4: this incorrectly, that it was sort of like the luster
- 9:29Speaker 4: had come off of Radio Row a little bit here
- 9:31Speaker 4: at the super Bowl.
- 9:32Speaker 5: But I'll tell you what it is.
- 9:34Speaker 4: Certainly, it doesn't look like there's a lack of luster
- 9:38Speaker 4: to me. Oh, I mean this is uh. I mean
- 9:41Speaker 4: they've got the you know, Pat McAfee show over there,
- 9:44Speaker 4: and the k Adams show. I mean, I didn't realize
- 9:46Speaker 4: she was that big a deal, but yeh had a big,
- 9:48Speaker 4: giant talk show set back here behind us the Fox
- 9:51Speaker 4: Sports stage. They got some sort of concert stage over there.
- 9:56Speaker 4: I mean, this is larger and more spectacular than what
- 10:00Speaker 4: I ever remember it being. Bleacher Reports got a gigantic
- 10:04Speaker 4: stage over there. So I don't know if it's had
- 10:09Speaker 4: an upsurge again, but this is quite the setting for
- 10:12Speaker 4: our week this week. I'll fill you in on what
- 10:14Speaker 4: it is. It's my first. Okay, So they pulled they
- 10:18Speaker 4: pulled out all the stops.
- 10:19Speaker 5: I said, normally Fox has a smooth and I think
- 10:23Speaker 5: it's probably about a quarter of the size. Kay Adams
- 10:26Speaker 5: normally wouldn't be here. She found out I was here
- 10:30Speaker 5: the concert thing, so we can just go.
- 10:32Speaker 4: You're gonna just take a nap on one of her
- 10:33Speaker 4: thirteen couches up there. Well that was.
- 10:36Speaker 5: Actually the see the third couch, that one has my
- 10:39Speaker 5: name on the back, you know, like a director's chair. Yeah,
- 10:42Speaker 5: and Pat McAfee, he was I told him, you keep
- 10:45Speaker 5: your loud mouth. You're punting yeah, you know what, you
- 10:47Speaker 5: stay on the other side. Good thing they gave distance. Yeah, exactly.
- 10:51Speaker 5: But I think that's probably why there is a resurgence
- 10:54Speaker 5: if there ever was a letdown, as they found out
- 10:56Speaker 5: Chuck and Buck and Ashley were going to be you know,
- 10:59Speaker 5: grace in the air waves of radio. Yeah, well here
- 11:01Speaker 5: we are. You're welcome world. Yeah.
- 11:04Speaker 6: But yeah, I will say it is weird though, because
- 11:06Speaker 6: it doesn't feel to me like it's any different than
- 11:09Speaker 6: the studio. Like I didn't expect Radio Road to feel
- 11:12Speaker 6: like this, like it feel I just feel like home here.
- 11:15Speaker 7: Oh you know, like I'm like, I'm still in the studio.
- 11:19Speaker 5: Yeah, you should just open up a little bit, you know.
- 11:22Speaker 5: Actually your mind's eye open. Actually you can't say the
- 11:24Speaker 5: Bleacher Report stage. I mean it's got it's multi color, No.
- 11:27Speaker 7: I see it.
- 11:28Speaker 6: I'm just saying I just feel so comfortable, you know.
- 11:31Speaker 6: It just feels like this is home. This is where
- 11:35Speaker 6: I you know, this is every day, that's where I
- 11:37Speaker 6: do my thing.
- 11:40Speaker 4: Because it is Oh yeah, yeah, you didn't get to come.
- 11:43Speaker 5: Oh yeah, you're stuck.
- 11:46Speaker 7: You're still I mean, yeah.
- 11:48Speaker 4: I'm sorry, Dorothy, you're still in Kansas.
- 11:51Speaker 5: Yeah, Well, weir the upside, you didn't have to sleep
- 11:54Speaker 5: under the same roof as soft.
- 11:57Speaker 7: Right, one of us is winning.
- 12:00Speaker 4: Yeah, he was the first to go to bed last
- 12:03Speaker 4: night too.
- 12:03Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 12:04Speaker 7: Well, he give him a hard time from.
- 12:06Speaker 4: Traveling around and he went like straight to bed. I
- 12:09Speaker 4: went upstairs to make a phone call and he was
- 12:12Speaker 4: like already in head.
- 12:14Speaker 5: Yeah, tweeting's tiresome.
- 12:16Speaker 7: Well it can be, you know, travel.
- 12:19Speaker 5: Tweeting is extra tiresome. I don't know if you knew that,
- 12:21Speaker 5: or like, if you have to take a video and photos,
- 12:24Speaker 5: yea ramp down to the plane right on the plane right?
- 12:29Speaker 5: Uh more on the plane videos coming a plane plane
- 12:32Speaker 5: of everybody. Yeah, almost got Mark James arrested because they
- 12:36Speaker 5: had to do a second take of coming off the plane.
- 12:39Speaker 5: Oh right, they did one to me and he didn't
- 12:41Speaker 5: post that because I just flipped him off. Oh I
- 12:44Speaker 5: shouldn't do that. Probably a good one.
- 12:45Speaker 4: I gave him a shemis and a great see hook
- 12:48Speaker 4: and then I don't know if he posted that one
- 12:51Speaker 4: of all the ones left on the cutting room floor.
- 12:54Speaker 5: Yeah, a little offended by that. Well, it's not so
- 12:56Speaker 5: hard to make the cut, or I mean it is
- 12:58Speaker 5: difficult to make the cut. You know. I mean, there's
- 13:01Speaker 5: he only puts out five to six thousand a day,
- 13:04Speaker 5: so if you don't make the cut, don't feel better.
- 13:07Speaker 4: We were at dinner last night, so the dinner parties
- 13:10Speaker 4: got separated by once and needs last night, so it
- 13:15Speaker 4: ended up with just Hugh, Jessemine, Softy and myself. We
- 13:20Speaker 4: went to get some pasta white table, yeah, a little
- 13:23Speaker 4: white table, you know, dining at the at the at
- 13:26Speaker 4: the Italian Place.
- 13:28Speaker 5: Uh.
- 13:28Speaker 4: And we're sitting there and everybody had kind of told
- 13:33Speaker 4: a story, and like Softy freaks out, and Hugh looks
- 13:36Speaker 4: at the rest of us and goes, he can't be
- 13:39Speaker 4: he can't not be center of attention for more than
- 13:41Speaker 4: five minutes. Yeah, yeah, that's about right. And then he
- 13:51Speaker 4: became it.
- 13:52Speaker 5: Yeah yeah, I was thrust myself into the center.
- 13:59Speaker 4: I listened to three other stories from other people. I
- 14:02Speaker 4: can't do it anymore. Grace does that.
- 14:08Speaker 5: She's four, Like if we're all having conversation, everybody's involved.
- 14:11Speaker 5: She just going, hey everyone, Heyl put her fingers in
- 14:16Speaker 5: her mouth and pull them blah blah blah. And it's like,
- 14:19Speaker 5: what I just wanted to talk, That's what I just
- 14:22Speaker 5: want to talk. So he's he's got a little four
- 14:24Speaker 5: year old in there. That's exactly what he did. Yeah,
- 14:27Speaker 5: except he just did that.
- 14:29Speaker 4: Blah blah blah blah for the rest of the evening
- 14:32Speaker 4: and tired little Davy out.
- 14:35Speaker 5: And he's like, I just gotta go, I gotta go
- 14:37Speaker 5: to bed. Why what happened? I've been all night. I
- 14:43Speaker 5: shouldn't know what to do. Where did you out? The
- 14:46Speaker 5: most stressful thing for him probably is listening, right, not talking,
- 14:50Speaker 5: hearing other people tell stories, just like, oh man, getting exhausted,
- 14:55Speaker 5: listening so hard, so hard.
- 14:59Speaker 7: Oh oh, poor child.
- 15:05Speaker 4: All right, well this here's your scene center for you.
- 15:09Speaker 4: There you go, the listening habits of Dave Maler, the
- 15:13Speaker 4: nearer rest of Mark James.
- 15:15Speaker 5: Everybody saw that coming.
- 15:16Speaker 4: Yeah, uh, and the and the party animal that is
- 15:21Speaker 4: Dick Fane.
- 15:22Speaker 5: Welcome to Super Bowl sixty ladies. Yeah. I did not
- 15:27Speaker 5: have that on my BEINGO card, feeling inferior and as
- 15:31Speaker 5: a partier. Dick Fase was yeah he was. They was like,
- 15:37Speaker 5: I can't believe this. Yeah, there's just for there's gonna
- 15:40Speaker 5: be payback one of these days.
- 15:43Speaker 6: Yeah, you guys have I was gonna say Thursday, because
- 15:46Speaker 6: then you just have one show.
- 15:49Speaker 7: Well, then you can sleep on the plane home.
- 15:51Speaker 4: That's another thing though, like being back here, because when
- 15:54Speaker 4: I went to Super Bowls, I worked in Vegas. I
- 15:56Speaker 4: didn't even drink, so I missed all that time of
- 15:59Speaker 4: drinking going to the Super Bowls, and now here I am.
- 16:02Speaker 4: I drink now, but I think might be too old. Yeah,
- 16:06Speaker 4: to go do recover what needs to be done on
- 16:10Speaker 4: Super Bowl night and then recover by the morning.
- 16:13Speaker 5: I don't know.
- 16:13Speaker 4: I think I might have missed my super Bowl partying window.
- 16:16Speaker 5: Well, I think you did. I'm sure that is it
- 16:19Speaker 5: same here. I'm not gonna I'm not gonna say I'm
- 16:21Speaker 5: not in that same boat.
- 16:22Speaker 4: But I'm not saying that. It crossed my mind last night.
- 16:25Speaker 4: It's crossing my mind as we speak. I'm like having
- 16:28Speaker 4: this revelation.
- 16:31Speaker 7: Here's what I need to do. Start drinking in the
- 16:33Speaker 7: morning and then you'll be fine by nighttime.
- 16:35Speaker 5: Yeah, maybe that's not about it.
- 16:37Speaker 4: Yeah, did you bring the whistle but I did not
- 16:39Speaker 4: bring the whistle pig.
- 16:40Speaker 7: Oh, good choice on the whistle too.

- 16:45Speaker 5: show tomorrow. Yeah, all right.

- 17:18Speaker 7: for us. Yeah, there's oh and there's my fish tank.
- 17:22Speaker 7: That's comforting.
- 17:23Speaker 5: Uh huh.

- 17:27Speaker 4: back into that place.
- 17:28Speaker 5: If you'd like, I think.
- 17:29Speaker 7: I think I'm coming down there tomorrow.
- 17:32Speaker 5: Are you okay?
- 17:33Speaker 7: I'll be there tomorrow.
- 17:35Speaker 4: All right, Well, you didn't stay with us too snobby,

- 17:42Speaker 7: I think.
- 17:43Speaker 5: Yeah, have fun with that. It's right next to Softies.
- 17:47Speaker 4: All right, let's find out what's on tap for the
- 17:49Speaker 4: rest of today's show.
- 17:53Speaker 2: What's on tip?
- 17:55Speaker 5: What's on tap? All right?
- 17:58Speaker 4: We are live from Super Bowl and so what is
- 18:00Speaker 4: on tap is a complete coverage both the goofy, the informative,
- 18:05Speaker 4: the analytic, analytical, and so much more. As we are
- 18:10Speaker 4: going to set the scene for you all week long
- 18:12Speaker 4: live from the super Bowl here in San Francisco. We
- 18:16Speaker 4: will have a Monday morning quarterback session here today. I
- 18:19Speaker 4: was hoping to have everybody live right in front of
- 18:22Speaker 4: us that you're accustomed to hearing on the radio program
- 18:26Speaker 4: on Monday's Greg Bell he's here, but he's covering the
- 18:29Speaker 4: team in San Jose, so we'll have to chat with
- 18:33Speaker 4: him over the phone. But that's a seven o five coach.
- 18:35Speaker 4: Holmgren didn't quite make the trip even though he should have,
- 18:39Speaker 4: but he'll still be with us today from the studio.
- 18:41Speaker 4: He's going to be back in Kansas with Dorothy, Yeah,
- 18:44Speaker 4: the tin man. Mike Holmgren will be nice back with
- 18:48Speaker 4: Ashley back there in Seattle.
- 18:49Speaker 5: Yeah, Ashley, give him your ruby red slippers, soak his
- 18:53Speaker 5: heels and be down here with us if you don't.
- 18:55Speaker 7: Mind, man, Okay, yeah, I'll do that.
- 18:57Speaker 6: Well, then if I only have one pair of those,
- 18:59Speaker 6: so if he goes, then too, I'll.
- 19:00Speaker 5: Bring them back after the segment.
- 19:01Speaker 4: Okay, okay, yeah, I don't know if it works that way,
- 19:04Speaker 4: but I guess we're gonna roll the dice.
- 19:06Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah.
- 19:07Speaker 4: Mike Holmgren will join us at nine o'clock today, and
- 19:10Speaker 4: Hugh Millan is with us. Had a great time with
- 19:13Speaker 4: him last night, so he's down here in San Francisco
- 19:15Speaker 4: as well, so he'll join us live from our set
- 19:18Speaker 4: from eight to ten o'clock today, So our QB one.
- 19:21Speaker 4: We don't get to see him enough, and he'll be
- 19:24Speaker 4: right smack dab in front of us here today. So
- 19:27Speaker 4: that's what we know. I mean, that's the foundation, that
- 19:30Speaker 4: is the rock upon which our house will sit. And
- 19:34Speaker 4: yet who knows what could happen.
- 19:37Speaker 5: That's the beauty of radio row.
- 19:39Speaker 4: You never know what you know, celebrity is gonna pass through,
- 19:42Speaker 4: what former player is gonna pass through, what super Bowl
- 19:45Speaker 4: hero might pass through. And so we will, you know, basically,
- 19:51Speaker 4: just for five days. You never know what's gonna be
- 19:54Speaker 4: behind door number one here on the radio program. So
- 19:58Speaker 4: that's what's sort of fun about Super Bowl week coverage.
- 20:01Speaker 4: So we got you covered on that front as well.
- 20:03Speaker 4: The game will be Sunday at three thirty. We will
- 20:07Speaker 4: have plenty to discuss as we now start to discuss
- 20:10Speaker 4: the actual matchup. Last week we discussed Seahawks certainly getting
- 20:14Speaker 4: to the Super Bowl. We started to dive in on
- 20:17Speaker 4: the Patriots, but today we start diving in on the
- 20:20Speaker 4: matchup between the Seahawks and the Patriots. So looking forward
- 20:23Speaker 4: to breaking back down the coaching cycle. Has it come
- 20:26Speaker 4: to an end right now? There are no vacancies. We'll
- 20:29Speaker 4: cover that with the Share Coachery Board coming up here
- 20:32Speaker 4: at six thirty today. We'll also talk a little bit
- 20:34Speaker 4: of baseball. I know we're here for the Super Bowl,
- 20:36Speaker 4: but when one of the favorite Mariners decides to sign
- 20:40Speaker 4: with another team, it's worth discussing. So Gino Suarez is
- 20:44Speaker 4: now a Cincinnati Read again. We are ten days away
- 20:48Speaker 4: from pitchers and catchers reporting, so we will spend some
- 20:50Speaker 4: time talking some Mariners baseball. At seven thirty today, Lebron
- 20:54Speaker 4: has been named to his twenty second All Star team.
- 20:58Speaker 4: He wasn't named as a starter by the fans, but
- 21:01Speaker 4: the coaches who named the replacements did name Lebron James
- 21:05Speaker 4: to the All Star roster.
- 21:07Speaker 5: Not sure he deserves that.
- 21:08Speaker 4: Considering how much time that he's missed this year, But
- 21:11Speaker 4: for the twenty second time in his career, a record,
- 21:15Speaker 4: he is an All Star in the NBA and the Kraken.
- 21:18Speaker 4: They're in action again tomorrow. They'll be at Anaheim taking
- 21:23Speaker 4: on the Ducks. They'll drop the puck at seven o'clock tomorrow,
- 21:27Speaker 4: crack and probably going to make it into our headlines.
- 21:29Speaker 5: That's just about it here today as.
- 21:31Speaker 4: We discuss all things super Bowl on Chuck and Buck.
- 21:35Speaker 4: So we are underway coming up on the other side,
- 21:38Speaker 4: just not your run of the mills share coachery board.
- 21:40Speaker 4: I mean, it's all about Clint Kubiak. He is the
- 21:43Speaker 4: topic here this Monday morning as Super Bowl week begins.

- 22:36Speaker 4: super Bowl week, but punks a tawny Phil says, six
- 22:39Speaker 4: more weeks of winter. He's already ruled. I thought we
- 22:43Speaker 4: were moving towards spring.
- 22:44Speaker 7: I mean, it sure feels like it here, maybe winter
- 22:47Speaker 7: everywhere else.
- 22:48Speaker 4: Last day I spent in Seattle Beelberry spring.
- 22:51Speaker 7: Like like sixty on Wednesday.
- 22:54Speaker 5: I don't want to burst your guys's bubble. But Phil's
- 22:57Speaker 5: a liar, Yeah, that damn road and doesn't know what
- 22:59Speaker 5: the hell he's talking. And who can tell whether he
- 23:02Speaker 5: sees the shadow or not?
- 23:05Speaker 4: Experts, Bucky Shada experts, Groundhog Day experts, groundhog experts, Trust rodents. Well,
- 23:12Speaker 4: good morning to you, and welcome into the second hour
- 23:16Speaker 4: of our radio show here live from Radio Row in
- 23:19Speaker 4: San Francisco, California. We're countdown the days right here at
- 23:23Speaker 4: the side of the Super Bowl to the Super Bowl
- 23:26Speaker 4: Seahawks versus Patriots, and we are pretty much just underway.
- 23:31Speaker 4: Fine sponsors this year every year that have taken up
- 23:35Speaker 4: the charge here of sponsoring our Super Bowl coverage, including
- 23:39Speaker 4: Delta Airlines. They've got your back, Seattle from the care
- 23:43Speaker 4: they put into their safety efforts, in Seattle and SeaTac
- 23:47Speaker 4: International Airport. To the number of fantastic deals and stunning
- 23:51Speaker 4: vacation destinations, Delta is connecting you.
- 23:54Speaker 5: To the world like never before.
- 23:56Speaker 4: Log onto Delta dot com right now to plan your
- 23:59Speaker 4: next Delta Airline lines adventure. I've always had a good
- 24:01Speaker 4: time on Delta Airline. Never feels like I've never had
- 24:04Speaker 4: any hassles.
- 24:05Speaker 5: No, I don't Delta. I like Delta. It is definitely
- 24:08Speaker 5: first class, even when you're not in first class. Yeah,
- 24:11Speaker 5: that's a good way to put it.
- 24:13Speaker 4: Well, let's take a look at your headlines before we
- 24:15Speaker 4: bring Greg Bell aboard. I'll go through them quickly, and
- 24:18Speaker 4: they are brought to you by Frost Brewed COR's Light.
- 24:21Speaker 5: Of course.
- 24:22Speaker 4: Super Bowl sixty Seahawks Patriots will be played this Sunday
- 24:25Speaker 4: at three thirty. The coaching cycle has it ended. All
- 24:29Speaker 4: ten vacancies it looks like, have been filled, including Clint Kubiak,
- 24:34Speaker 4: the presumed next head coach of the Las Vegas Raiders.
- 24:38Speaker 4: It's still not official, but most people in the industry
- 24:42Speaker 4: expect it to be finalized as soon as the Super
- 24:45Speaker 4: Bowl comes to a close on Sunday. Lebron James was
- 24:48Speaker 4: named to his twenty second All Star team in his
- 24:51Speaker 4: NBA career, this year as a reserve for the first time,
- 24:56Speaker 4: and yet he continues to set records that those All
- 25:00Speaker 4: Star reserves picked by the coaches. From what I understand,
- 25:03Speaker 4: a little bit of a surprise. You spent a lot
- 25:05Speaker 4: of the first half of the season injured, cracking taking
- 25:08Speaker 4: on the ducks Tomorrow night, that will be at seven
- 25:10Speaker 4: o'clock and it's in Anaheim, as the cracking getting ready
- 25:13Speaker 4: to close out the first half, if you will, before
- 25:17Speaker 4: the Olympic stoppage occurs, and then they won't play for
- 25:21Speaker 4: another three weeks. And we are going to talk a
- 25:23Speaker 4: little bit of baseball for the hour comes to a
- 25:24Speaker 4: close because Gino Suarez signed with the Cincinnati Reds. We
- 25:29Speaker 4: all have been under the impression that that was an
- 25:31Speaker 4: option for the Mariners, but he is now a Cincinnati
- 25:34Speaker 4: red so that option is off the table. We are
- 25:37Speaker 4: just ten days away from pitchers and catchers reporting, actually
- 25:40Speaker 4: just eight. There are some teams that report in eight
- 25:43Speaker 4: days from now, on the tenth of February.
- 25:46Speaker 5: Unbelievable.
- 25:47Speaker 4: All right, let's talk Seahawks Super Bowl with our Seahawks
- 25:50Speaker 4: insider Greg Bell with the Bell tolls.
- 25:53Speaker 1: It must be seven o'clock and time for twelve Man
- 25:56Speaker 1: News with Greg Bell, brought to you by Copola Diamond
- 26:00Speaker 1: Prosecco Chris Sparkling with bright fruit flavors to make every
- 26:04Speaker 1: toast shine Game Day bubbles only with Copola Diamond Prosecco.
- 26:09Speaker 2: Now with twk Man News, here's Greg Bell with Chuck
- 26:13Speaker 2: and Bud Well.
- 26:15Speaker 4: Good morning, Greg Bell, Good morning.
- 26:18Speaker 8: All right?
- 26:18Speaker 4: Where are you right now?
- 26:20Speaker 8: I'm in San Jose, Okay, on the street from the
- 26:23Speaker 8: Seahawks there.
- 26:24Speaker 4: Okay, winter And when are they expected to see you today?
- 26:30Speaker 8: Oh? I don't think they got up with their that's
- 26:32Speaker 8: not first under agenda.
- 26:34Speaker 9: They've got meetings and film and studies and things.
- 26:37Speaker 8: They their first media commitment is not until this evening actually, okay,
- 26:41Speaker 8: first one of the whole week.
- 26:42Speaker 9: So that's that opening night at the convention Center in
- 26:45Speaker 9: San Jose.
- 26:46Speaker 5: So you're just lounging by the pool all day long? Then?
- 26:48Speaker 5: Is that it? Ye?
- 26:50Speaker 9: I get a few things to do.
- 26:53Speaker 8: You rating Roger Goodella as a press conference at three o'clock,
- 26:56Speaker 8: which I wasn't probably gonna do much for, and then
- 27:00Speaker 8: and put in a credential just in case. And then
- 27:02Speaker 8: sure enough, the Seahawks sale pops up, and I'll ask
- 27:04Speaker 8: about that and what the NFL is indeed pressuring Jody
- 27:09Speaker 8: Allen to no longer have it as part of the trust,
- 27:12Speaker 8: but other than individual owner.
- 27:14Speaker 9: Has this been reported by the Wall Street Journal yesterday? Yeah?
- 27:17Speaker 9: Little two things have happened since last week.
- 27:19Speaker 4: Talked, All right, well, we might as well stay on that.
- 27:21Speaker 4: I was going to ask you about it anyway, since
- 27:23Speaker 4: you brought it up, let's dive right into that.
- 27:26Speaker 5: What do you know about this?
- 27:28Speaker 4: Give us some more details on where the possible Seahawks
- 27:32Speaker 4: sale is going.
- 27:35Speaker 8: Well, those of us, most people in Seattle know that
- 27:38Speaker 8: this was never a matter of if, but when, and
- 27:42Speaker 8: that the trust that Paul Island Trust stipulated that all
- 27:46Speaker 8: of his assets, in fact, his MoPOP music collection is
- 27:50Speaker 8: under deep water sea exploration, is space exploration, his philanthropic interests.
- 27:57Speaker 8: And oh, by the way, they Portland Treublazers in the
- 27:59Speaker 8: Seattle Seahawks that he owned, all of them have.
- 28:02Speaker 9: To be sold.
- 28:03Speaker 8: He put that in his will and the proceeds go
- 28:06Speaker 8: to his philanthropic charities. And the Blazers went up for
- 28:11Speaker 8: sale in September. That sale may close in a few
- 28:15Speaker 8: months here they have a buyer for four point twenty
- 28:17Speaker 8: five billion dollars, a group led by the owner of
- 28:21Speaker 8: the Carolina Panthers, excuse me, the Carolina Hurricanes, the NHL team,
- 28:25Speaker 8: and Raleigh.
- 28:27Speaker 9: So there was.
- 28:29Speaker 8: Increasing rumors, speculation and talk around league circles that the
- 28:35Speaker 8: Seahawks were next, that it would make sense that the
- 28:38Speaker 8: estate would sell the Blazers and the Seahawks one two.
- 28:43Speaker 9: And that seems to be what's happening here.
- 28:45Speaker 8: Now we can talk about the conspiracy, theories of timing
- 28:48Speaker 8: of it, and Robert Kraft with the NFL owner circles
- 28:52Speaker 8: week it out during Super Bowl Week as a distraction.
- 28:55Speaker 9: I can tell you that there's not.
- 28:57Speaker 8: A player coachfor that is distracted by the that's not
- 29:03Speaker 8: going the contract stay in effect and everybody still does
- 29:07Speaker 8: a job that even if it did get sold after
- 29:09Speaker 8: the Super Bowl, it's not affecting the players and the
- 29:12Speaker 8: actual tangible product on the field this week. But it
- 29:16Speaker 8: does start to make you want, Okay, who could it
- 29:18Speaker 8: be and what's the least situation.
- 29:21Speaker 9: The Seahawks have a lease at Liwanfield through twenty thirty one.
- 29:25Speaker 8: That's in the original contract that Paul Allen signed when
- 29:29Speaker 8: he first built the stadium.
- 29:31Speaker 9: The first season was in two thousand and two. It
- 29:33Speaker 9: is a thirty year lease and then they have a
- 29:34Speaker 9: twenty year option on top of that thirty year lease.
- 29:37Speaker 8: So the first question would be with the new owner,
- 29:40Speaker 8: whoever it is, whenever it is, and act that twenty
- 29:43Speaker 8: year extension of the lease to go out to twenty
- 29:45Speaker 8: fifty one. But again, I wouldn't get too alarmed about
- 29:50Speaker 8: the fact that it's happening.
- 29:53Speaker 9: It had to happen. It was dictated by Paul all
- 29:55Speaker 9: that it had happen.
- 29:57Speaker 5: I'm with you. I am wondering, though I have some
- 30:00Speaker 5: friends that are not necessarily wanting it to have to happen.
- 30:04Speaker 5: I mean, I understand that that was his wishes and whatnot.
- 30:06Speaker 5: But right now, I mean, if you just go top down,
- 30:10Speaker 5: everything seems to be flowing pretty well. I mean, is
- 30:13Speaker 5: there a chance that this is something that is not
- 30:16Speaker 5: good for the Seahawks or the Seahawks fans out there.
- 30:20Speaker 8: Well, there's a chance that it's not good for some
- 30:22Speaker 8: people who work in the building, and the new owner
- 30:26Speaker 8: will bring in his new people.
- 30:28Speaker 9: New owners will bring in new people.
- 30:30Speaker 8: As much as these things cost, there's only a few
- 30:33Speaker 8: people on planet Earth that would buy it out right,
- 30:35Speaker 8: and we know the names.
- 30:37Speaker 9: Most times this becomes.
- 30:39Speaker 8: A consort of a group of owners and investors with
- 30:42Speaker 8: a lead majority owner. We're talking eight to ten billion dollars.
- 30:46Speaker 8: This would be the largest franchise valuation in sale and
- 30:50Speaker 8: sports history, in North American sports history, in any sport.
- 30:54Speaker 8: And that's because the NFL prints money year over year,
- 30:58Speaker 8: So there will be change in some ways. But you'd
- 31:02Speaker 8: have to be a pretty dumb owner. And if somebody
- 31:04Speaker 8: has got enough money to buy the Seahawks, they're probably
- 31:06Speaker 8: not stupid.
- 31:07Speaker 9: You have to be a pretty dumb owner to change
- 31:10Speaker 9: the football operations right now, wouldn't you.
- 31:12Speaker 8: The GM that's for sixteen years had the best operation
- 31:16Speaker 8: of the sport, of the franchise history, the coach who
- 31:19Speaker 8: just in two years has taken you to a Super
- 31:21Speaker 8: Bowl and won twenty six at the first thirty six games,
- 31:25Speaker 8: and the players that got you there. I can't imagine
- 31:28Speaker 8: a new owner, if it is indeed before next season,
- 31:32Speaker 8: would just start cleaning house on the football side of it.
- 31:35Speaker 8: It would make no financial or operational sense.
- 31:39Speaker 4: Greg bellis with US our Seahawks insider, as he's in
- 31:42Speaker 4: San Jose covering the Super Bowl for the News Tribune.
- 31:45Speaker 4: He can follow all of his coverage at the Newstribune
- 31:48Speaker 4: dot com. We are in San Francisco at Radio Row,
- 31:51Speaker 4: and at some point our paths will cross again. We
- 31:54Speaker 4: saw Greg yesterday, but we'll have him down here at
- 31:58Speaker 4: the set at some point in the course of our
- 32:00Speaker 4: week for one of his many, many terrific updates. All right,
- 32:04Speaker 4: So before we get off of that topic, just quickly
- 32:07Speaker 4: and please, because we had other things to get to.
- 32:10Speaker 4: I mean, I'm sure people hearing about the ownership would
- 32:13Speaker 4: like to know, like, what are some of the rumors
- 32:16Speaker 4: out there of who might be interested in buying the Seahawks.
- 32:19Speaker 5: We hear about.
- 32:19Speaker 4: Balmer and Bezos and all of these names that people
- 32:22Speaker 4: are familiar with. Do you have a name or two
- 32:24Speaker 4: that you are on your radar?
- 32:27Speaker 8: Well, Bethos is the one that the NFL circles would
- 32:30Speaker 8: love to have in their ownership circle and has been
- 32:32Speaker 8: for a while now. That's the high profile money branding
- 32:36Speaker 8: that they love.
- 32:37Speaker 9: That absolutely would be the first one that comes to mind.
- 32:41Speaker 8: Balmber has a few other things going on with his
- 32:43Speaker 8: clippers down in Los Angeles.
- 32:45Speaker 9: I'm not sure that he would be.
- 32:46Speaker 8: He might be an investor, but not a primary and
- 32:50Speaker 8: I wouldn't be surprised, Like I said.
- 32:51Speaker 9: If it's a group of investors.
- 32:53Speaker 8: Now, the attraction, of course in the Pacific Northwest is
- 32:56Speaker 8: that there are a lot of potential investors in the
- 32:59Speaker 8: corporate world. Could local ties and local ownership?
- 33:03Speaker 4: All right, So let's move on to the other big
- 33:05Speaker 4: topic we have to discuss today. Is it a done
- 33:08Speaker 4: deal Clint Kubiak's the next head coach of the Raiders?
- 33:11Speaker 4: And if so, who's he taken with him?
- 33:14Speaker 8: It's not a done deal, but they can't even make
- 33:17Speaker 8: it official until after the Super Bowl, which gives the
- 33:20Speaker 8: Seahawks some time to come get him if they want
- 33:22Speaker 8: an eleventh hour push of more money and a new title.
- 33:26Speaker 8: But Mike McDonald does not strike me, and he has,
- 33:29Speaker 8: in fact that said he's not going to stand away
- 33:31Speaker 8: in someone's the ambitions. This is the job that every
- 33:34Speaker 8: coach wants to do. NFL head coach is only thirty
- 33:37Speaker 8: two of them in the world. Even if it is
- 33:39Speaker 8: the Las Vegas Raiders, they have the number one pick
- 33:42Speaker 8: in the draft, they have ninety million dollars eating nine
- 33:44Speaker 8: million dollars in cap space next year, second most in
- 33:47Speaker 8: the league. It is an attract from an offensive standpoint,
- 33:51Speaker 8: especially an attractive job and what they can build.
- 33:54Speaker 9: It's certainly not an attractive job and what they currently have.
- 33:58Speaker 8: And I, knowing used to cover the Raiders, I covered
- 34:01Speaker 8: Mark Davis's father, Al Mark Davis is even less impatient
- 34:06Speaker 8: than his father in hiring and firing gms and coaches.
- 34:10Speaker 8: I would just hope for Kubiak's sake that he keeps
- 34:13Speaker 8: him around it a little bit and doesn't have seventeen
- 34:16Speaker 8: coaches in the last twenty years.
- 34:17Speaker 9: Whatever. The Raiders are dead.
- 34:19Speaker 8: The problem now for the Seahawks is you, as you mentioned,
- 34:22Speaker 8: who would he take with them?
- 34:24Speaker 9: And there are three guys.
- 34:25Speaker 8: That have been integral to this Super Bowl run that
- 34:27Speaker 8: could an easy draw that you could say qback would
- 34:31Speaker 8: want to take with them. John Benton, the offensive line coach,
- 34:35Speaker 8: has been huge in what has happened this season for Seattley.
- 34:38Speaker 8: When you talk to the offensive lineup for the Seahawks,
- 34:40Speaker 8: they say, how clear John Benton's coaching is, how easily
- 34:45Speaker 8: transferable to the from the whiteboard to the field it is,
- 34:48Speaker 8: and how he teaches it so clearly. The outside zone
- 34:50Speaker 8: concepts Rick Dennison is the running game coordinator, and Andrew
- 34:55Speaker 8: Juinoko is the quarterbacks coach, been instrumental in sam Donold's.
- 35:00Speaker 9: Larious landing in one year in Seattle.
- 35:01Speaker 8: All three of those Jenoko, Benton, and Dennison came with
- 35:07Speaker 8: Kubiak from the Saints for the twenty twenty four season
- 35:10Speaker 8: to the twenty twenty five seasons to Seattle. He's probably
- 35:14Speaker 8: at least going to ask if they want to come
- 35:16Speaker 8: and Andrew Jenoko, in particular, thirty seven years old, one
- 35:20Speaker 8: of the up and coming offensive mines that the NFL
- 35:23Speaker 8: is in love with right now. Would not at all
- 35:25Speaker 8: be surprised if that could potentially be the offensive line
- 35:28Speaker 8: can their offense according to candidate in Las Vegas, And
- 35:32Speaker 8: then you start thinking, okay, then who would the Seahawks
- 35:34Speaker 8: turn to. I could see the Seahawks making a push
- 35:37Speaker 8: to Andrew Jenoko to keep him and promote him from
- 35:41Speaker 8: quarterback coach to offensive coreator and offer in that which
- 35:44Speaker 8: would be a pretty enticing deal to have a Pro
- 35:46Speaker 8: Bowl quarterback, the leading receiver in the league, a thousand
- 35:50Speaker 8: yard running back in a Super Bowl offense to take
- 35:52Speaker 8: over at thirty seven years old. So Kubiak may may
- 35:56Speaker 8: want to take some guys, but the Seahawks have some
- 35:58Speaker 8: minhouse options to keep guys here too.
- 36:01Speaker 5: Gee. I mean, I read something talking about the Seahawks
- 36:04Speaker 5: heading down here and that they're loose and they're focused.
- 36:08Speaker 5: I'm wondering, you talk to a lot of folks that
- 36:10Speaker 5: you know were in your profession and cover the NFL
- 36:14Speaker 5: around the country. Is is it an overarching feeling that
- 36:19Speaker 5: the Seahawks are should not necessarily dominate this game, but
- 36:22Speaker 5: should be heavy favorites going into this thing.
- 36:27Speaker 8: Loucid focus on the terms that Mike McDonald's been using
- 36:29Speaker 8: all year. He wants to embrace both. But then again,
- 36:32Speaker 8: what coach is going to say they're.
- 36:34Speaker 9: Tight and mindless and a nervous wreck. They're going to
- 36:38Speaker 9: say that. But around the league, the rest of the
- 36:43Speaker 9: league that hasn't.
- 36:44Speaker 8: Seen the Seahawks all year, really got their eyes open
- 36:46Speaker 8: in the playoffs by this team, the defense against San Francisco,
- 36:49Speaker 8: the offense against the Rams. They think the Seahawks would
- 36:53Speaker 8: win this game, maybe not handily. Super Bowls often sway differently,
- 36:58Speaker 8: And when you think it's gonna be a blow, it's close,
- 37:00Speaker 8: and we think it's going to be closer to blow up.
- 37:03Speaker 8: But the consensus around the people I know around the
- 37:05Speaker 8: league is that the Seahawks are the better team.
- 37:08Speaker 9: Now.
- 37:08Speaker 8: Some of that is because of the New England offense
- 37:10Speaker 8: has not done anything in the playoffs Houston and then
- 37:14Speaker 8: the snowstorm in Denver. The Patriots at times have barely scored,
- 37:18Speaker 8: and in fact, the Patriots may not have won the
- 37:21Speaker 8: AFC Championship even against Jared Steadham, a backup quarterback in Denver,
- 37:25Speaker 8: if not for Steadham's lateral backward pass he copped up
- 37:28Speaker 8: inside the ten.
- 37:30Speaker 9: Yard line and handed New England They're only touchdown of
- 37:33Speaker 9: the game in a ten to seven win.
- 37:35Speaker 8: So that seems to be where the advantage for Seattle
- 37:38Speaker 8: is their top ranked defense. Against Drake May and the
- 37:41Speaker 8: Patriots offense, there seems to be decisive advantage for Seattle's defense,
- 37:45Speaker 8: and defense is usually what determines championship games.
- 37:49Speaker 5: Greg bell Our Seahawks.
- 37:50Speaker 4: Inside of joining us here are Super Bowl coverage beginning
- 37:54Speaker 4: here this morning live from Radio Row. Chuck Powell, Bucky Jacobson.
- 37:58Speaker 5: With you, Jessman McIntyre with you down here as well.
- 38:02Speaker 5: Uh As he's in right here all day.
- 38:09Speaker 7: Well, I do have TOI and go down to the
- 38:11Speaker 7: media night Opening night. I'm sorry, Well I'll see there.
- 38:16Speaker 5: There you go, Greg and Gregor jest. They made a plan, yep.
- 38:19Speaker 8: Uh let me, we've had plans before.
- 38:24Speaker 4: Uh well, in our last minute here the we did
- 38:27Speaker 4: Not Care t shirts they wore off the plane. I mean,
- 38:31Speaker 4: I don't know if anyone in the history of catchphrases
- 38:35Speaker 4: has ever stumbled into one like Mike McDonald did. I
- 38:39Speaker 4: don't think he was planning to say something T shirt
- 38:42Speaker 4: worthy on that stage a couple of weeks ago, and
- 38:46Speaker 4: yet it's caught on like wildfire. How has he reacted
- 38:49Speaker 4: to all of this.
- 38:52Speaker 8: He's kind of incredulous about it. He said that he
- 38:55Speaker 8: was he was screaming into the microphone because he couldn't
- 38:57Speaker 8: hear himself, so he thought he couldn't be heard, and
- 38:59Speaker 8: that's why he was so halting in his speech.
- 39:01Speaker 9: And that's why it's with.
- 39:04Speaker 8: Periods that he spoke we did not Care And yeah,
- 39:07Speaker 8: he said that was completely accidental. The one thing I
- 39:10Speaker 8: did want to bring up in our time here about
- 39:12Speaker 8: the arrival yesterday, which is otherwise okay, they arrived to
- 39:15Speaker 8: open the door and players walk down the tarmac, that
- 39:20Speaker 8: Mike McDonald's special.
- 39:21Speaker 9: You want to know why players love Mike McDonald The
- 39:24Speaker 9: first guy? Did you guys notice?
- 39:26Speaker 8: Guys and gals noticed who the first guy off the
- 39:28Speaker 8: plane was yesterday in santase As soon as they opened
- 39:30Speaker 8: the door. No, I did not DeMarcus Lawrence. Well, why
- 39:35Speaker 8: is that he happens to be the most senior player
- 39:37Speaker 8: on the team the most years in the NFL twelve
- 39:40Speaker 8: the eleven of them with Dallas, and this.
- 39:42Speaker 9: Is his first Super Bowl. That absolutely wasn't an accident.
- 39:46Speaker 9: That's the kind of stuff that the players loved Mike
- 39:49Speaker 9: McDonald's for.
- 39:51Speaker 8: I bet everything that I know about this team that
- 39:54Speaker 8: Mike MacDonald said when that door opens, the first shots
- 39:57Speaker 8: of the International comedia needs to be of the guy
- 39:59Speaker 8: who spent the longest in.
- 40:00Speaker 9: The league before he got here. Wow, that kind of
- 40:03Speaker 9: stuff rings through the locker room. They love him for that.
- 40:07Speaker 8: And Lawrence, Yeah, walked out with sunglasses, guy who thirty
- 40:10Speaker 8: three years old, was in Dallas for eleven years, thought
- 40:13Speaker 8: he'd never get here. I thought that was a really
- 40:15Speaker 8: cool moment. That was the story I led with this
- 40:18Speaker 8: beat in the News Tribune this morning. But yeah, kind
- 40:21Speaker 8: of a cool moment for twelve years in the league.
- 40:24Speaker 5: Awesome.
- 40:25Speaker 4: All right, Well, I know you're gonna be busy this week.
- 40:27Speaker 4: Hopefully we'll see you more often than not. But if
- 40:32Speaker 4: we'll talk about again tomorrow.
- 40:34Speaker 8: Yeah, anytime on the phone, just when I'll see it
- 40:36Speaker 8: down here tonight at this have a good day.
- 40:39Speaker 4: Thank you, Greg, Hi Seahawks. Inside of Greg Bell. And
- 40:42Speaker 4: even though it's Super Bowl Week, of course, he's still
- 40:45Speaker 4: brought to you by his sponsor all season long. Pop
- 40:49Speaker 4: the BUBBLEE, bring the sparkle. It's gonna be game day
- 40:53Speaker 4: on Sunday. And why not add to your Super Bowl
- 40:56Speaker 4: menu a little Coppola Diamond Collection Prosecco.
- 41:00Speaker 5: It's Chris, It's refreshing.
- 41:02Speaker 4: It has notes of apple, citrus and white peach from
- 41:05Speaker 4: kickoff to the final whistle. It keeps the celebration going
- 41:09Speaker 4: Game Day Bubbles only with Coppola Diamond Collection Prosecco. Coming
- 41:14Speaker 4: up next here on Chucking Buck in the Morning live
- 41:17Speaker 4: from Super Bowls Radio Row, we will discuss a.
- 41:22Speaker 5: Little bit of baseball.
- 41:24Speaker 4: Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM Q Myer's over
- 41:28Speaker 4: from unnecessary roughness. He's got a show from two to
- 41:31Speaker 4: five on Raider Nation. Is it Raider Nation Live?
- 41:35Speaker 5: What Aternation Radio? Raider Nation Radio?
- 41:38Speaker 4: And so I grabbed Q to find out what they're
- 41:41Speaker 4: discussing in Vegas about our offensive coordinator. Good to have
- 41:46Speaker 4: you on, Yes, good to be on.
- 41:47Speaker 10: And it's exciting time. It really is exciting time for
- 41:50Speaker 10: the Raiders. They've gone through a lot of head coaches
- 41:52Speaker 10: and obviously Pete Carroll you know very well last year
- 41:55Speaker 10: that didn't work out. But I feel like with a
- 41:57Speaker 10: younger guy, an offensive guy, that this isn't a good opportunity.
- 42:00Speaker 10: And supposedly with the you know, the number one overall
- 42:02Speaker 10: pick most likely being fro Nando Mendoza. You pair those
- 42:04Speaker 10: two together, it's a pretty exciting time for radination.
- 42:07Speaker 4: I asked you this off theer, I'll ask it on
- 42:09Speaker 4: the air. Are you in Vegas treating it like this
- 42:12Speaker 4: is a done deal?
- 42:12Speaker 10: I'm treating it like it's anticipated to be a done deal,
- 42:15Speaker 10: right only because we've been around long enough, we've seen this,
- 42:18Speaker 10: we know how things can change and the one scenario
- 42:20Speaker 10: and it's it's funny. I've compared it to I used
- 42:22Speaker 10: to back in the day sell Kirby's. So I used
- 42:24Speaker 10: to say that you have to seal the deal immediately
- 42:26Speaker 10: because if you if you walk away from that sale,
- 42:28Speaker 10: you're not gonna get it. Someone will come to their
- 42:30Speaker 10: senses and be like, wait, hold on, why am I
- 42:31Speaker 10: buying a two thousand dollars vacum from this guy?
- 42:33Speaker 5: Get this guy out of my house.
- 42:34Speaker 10: So you got to get the deal sealed immediately, right,
- 42:36Speaker 10: That's kind of how I've been putting it. Well, what
- 42:38Speaker 10: if Seattle goes into Super Bowl? Just say they lose,
- 42:40Speaker 10: say they lose as a close one. They say, man,
- 42:42Speaker 10: we could really run it back. We have a great team.
- 42:44Speaker 10: Let's run it back and maybe, you know what I mean,
- 42:46Speaker 10: like anything can sit it. Maybe they win it and
- 42:48Speaker 10: they win it big. It's like, man, this could be
- 42:49Speaker 10: a nice run that we can go on, right, you
- 42:51Speaker 10: know what I mean, Like anything could happen. So I'm
- 42:53Speaker 10: anticipating that it's gonna be done. But until Penns put
- 42:56Speaker 10: the paper, I'm not gonna say it's done.
- 42:57Speaker 5: How far away do you feel the Raiders? Are they
- 43:00Speaker 5: just Fernando Windows?
- 43:02Speaker 10: No, no, no, no, This is a this is a
- 43:04Speaker 10: big rebuild. I mean it really is, especially the division
- 43:06Speaker 10: that they're in, you know, with the with the Chiefs
- 43:08Speaker 10: and the Broncos and the Chargers. It's it's tough and
- 43:11Speaker 10: GM John Spytech said that after they fire Pete Carell,
- 43:13Speaker 10: he said, like, I don't expect this to be a
- 43:15Speaker 10: New England Patriots one year good deal. I don't expect
- 43:17Speaker 10: it to be a Jaguars one year good deal. It's
- 43:19Speaker 10: it's it's gonna take some time, but it's a great
- 43:22Speaker 10: starting point. You know, you get a quarterback, you get
- 43:24Speaker 10: Kubiak in. You see how creative he is. You guys
- 43:26Speaker 10: know how creative he is offensively. That's something that we
- 43:29Speaker 10: haven't seen when we're watching the games and we're covering
- 43:32Speaker 10: the games. We see talented skill players like a brock
- 43:35Speaker 10: Bauers and Ashton Gent, but you don't see them being maximized.
- 43:38Speaker 10: So I'm thinking that Clint Kubiack can do that. So
- 43:40Speaker 10: that's the exciting part of this.
- 43:42Speaker 4: K Meyers is with us from a Raider Nation Radio.
- 43:44Speaker 4: I grabbed him just to see what the opinions are
- 43:47Speaker 4: in Vegas about Clint Kubiak looks like becoming their next
- 43:52Speaker 4: head coach. And look, I went on with my buddy
- 43:55Speaker 4: down there in Vegas. I don't know if you know
- 43:57Speaker 4: him maybe you don't like him. I can understand why.
- 43:59Speaker 4: Steve Field, Yeah, he's my guy. Yeah, he's a good
- 44:03Speaker 4: buddy of mine.
- 44:04Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 44:04Speaker 4: And I went on with him a year ago and
- 44:06Speaker 4: I told him I think I kind of like this Pete.
- 44:09Speaker 5: Carroll Higher for you. Yeah, and that didn't work out.
- 44:11Speaker 4: So is there any gun shy element to Raider Nation
- 44:15Speaker 4: about dipping into Seahawk waters?
- 44:17Speaker 5: Again? I don't think so.
- 44:18Speaker 10: And I think we all liked the Pete Carroll Higher.
- 44:20Speaker 10: I know I was pretty high on him because he's
- 44:22Speaker 10: got the resume right and just obviously didn't work out.
- 44:24Speaker 10: But him and the GM were never on the same page.
- 44:26Speaker 10: Him and the OC were never on the same page.
- 44:29Speaker 10: Gino was never very good. I mean, there's so many elements.
- 44:32Speaker 10: There was a lot that was stacked against him from
- 44:34Speaker 10: the beginning. So I don't hold that against Pete. I
- 44:36Speaker 10: know he tried to do his best. I thought it
- 44:38Speaker 10: was a good hire too. It just didn't work out.
- 44:40Speaker 10: So I think Seattle's fine. I don't think that there's
- 44:42Speaker 10: any you know, ill will towards them. And like I said,
- 44:44Speaker 10: when you can have a guy like Clint Kubiak, Lyne
- 44:47Speaker 10: Jackson Smith and jigbubb all over the field when you
- 44:50Speaker 10: know he's gonna get double and tripled and he still
- 44:51Speaker 10: gets open. That's something to get excited about. Because the
- 44:53Speaker 10: Raiders had brock Bowers and he's kind of that same
- 44:56Speaker 10: guy and not the same athleticism, but he's still that
- 44:58Speaker 10: same guy. He's their number one weapon.
- 45:00Speaker 5: What is the Tom Brady effect? I mean, what is
- 45:02Speaker 5: you bringing to the table. What do you expect it
- 45:04Speaker 5: to pan out for?
- 45:05Speaker 10: It feels like he brings credibility to the organization. But
- 45:08Speaker 10: the one thing I've been saying about him is he's still,
- 45:10Speaker 10: you know, a broadcaster. He's still getting paid thirty seven
- 45:12Speaker 10: million dollars a year to broadcast games, which I wouldn't
- 45:15Speaker 10: turn that down either, right, I mean, if I can
- 45:16Speaker 10: do both, I would do him as well.
- 45:18Speaker 5: But I just I.
- 45:19Speaker 10: Don't know if you're going to try to build a
- 45:21Speaker 10: roster and you're going to be a true talent of
- 45:23Speaker 10: value waiter and football operations, like Mark Davis has called him,
- 45:27Speaker 10: can you be a weekend dad?
- 45:29Speaker 9: Right?
- 45:29Speaker 10: Can you pick Johnny up on Saturday, take him to
- 45:32Speaker 10: the movies and a dinner and then drop them off
- 45:33Speaker 10: on Sunday night and be like all right, have a
- 45:34Speaker 10: good week of school with.
- 45:35Speaker 5: Your mom, you know what I mean?
- 45:36Speaker 10: Like, I don't know, And that's I make it relatable
- 45:38Speaker 10: like that, just because I think a lot of people
- 45:39Speaker 10: can understand that. Like I used to tell my mom, man,
- 45:42Speaker 10: it's only so much fun when I go to my dad'.
- 45:43Speaker 5: She's like, yeah, because he doesn't do anything.
- 45:45Speaker 10: He takes you to the movies and has a great
- 45:47Speaker 10: time and then I gotta deal with you. That's a
- 45:50Speaker 10: good point. Now I understand what you mean, Like I
- 45:53Speaker 10: get I get it. But so I feel like that
- 45:55Speaker 10: that's kind of what he's doing. He's not in the
- 45:57Speaker 10: building every day, you know. John Spytekers said that he says, well,
- 46:00Speaker 10: he's not able to be here every day. Well, okay,
- 46:02Speaker 10: so can you really get the feel of the building.
- 46:04Speaker 10: Can you really get the understanding of everything's going on
- 46:07Speaker 10: if you're not actually there, Like we could jump on
- 46:09Speaker 10: teams in zone, but there's only so much you can do,
- 46:11Speaker 10: you know what I mean. So I think it's still
- 46:13Speaker 10: a challenge, but he brings credibility for sure.
- 46:16Speaker 4: There was a chance Clint Kubiak in about a year's
- 46:18Speaker 4: time is gonna have to tell Gino Smith I don't
- 46:21Speaker 4: want you as my quarterback.
- 46:24Speaker 5: How's that? How? How is that going to happen next year?
- 46:28Speaker 10: I think that's gonna happen in a couple of weeks.
- 46:30Speaker 10: To be honest, I don't see him back at all.
- 46:32Speaker 10: There's I just that that needs That's a that's a
- 46:34Speaker 10: divorce that needs to happen. He just wasn't very good
- 46:37Speaker 10: with the Raiders. The Raiders weren't very good for him.
- 46:39Speaker 10: The fan base doesn't like him, He doesn't like the
- 46:41Speaker 10: fan base. I mean, it's just you know, I mean,
- 46:43Speaker 10: it just needs to just to happen. It needs to
- 46:46Speaker 10: be a break. And I don't think it's all on him.
- 46:48Speaker 10: I just think he was putting a bad situation. No
- 46:50Speaker 10: offensive line, he got sacked fifty five times, you know.
- 46:52Speaker 10: I mean, it's just he threw a bunch of interceptions
- 46:54Speaker 10: that were terrible. You know, he flipped off the fans,
- 46:56Speaker 10: which didn't go over very well. And you know, it's
- 46:58Speaker 10: just a lot that didn't go very well for Gino.
- 47:01Speaker 10: So I just think that for everyone's sake, he just
- 47:03Speaker 10: needs to have a break.
- 47:04Speaker 5: Yeah, and you're excited about Mendoza.
- 47:06Speaker 10: Yeah, I think so. I think he's got the leadership
- 47:08Speaker 10: he's got it between the ears. I mean, he can
- 47:09Speaker 10: make all those weird interviews though he does, which is cool.
- 47:12Speaker 4: I'm okay with that.
- 47:14Speaker 10: They come come on over, come on over and do
- 47:15Speaker 10: some weird interviews with me.
- 47:16Speaker 5: I'll take it.
- 47:17Speaker 10: You know, who knows what direction he'll go, right, So
- 47:19Speaker 10: we'll have some fun with it. But I mean, the
- 47:22Speaker 10: Vegas needs leadership. That's it's not an easy place for
- 47:25Speaker 10: anybody to actually play and be there all the time.
- 47:27Speaker 10: There's a lot of reasons why Vegas could be challenging.
- 47:30Speaker 10: I think a guy like that can help be a
- 47:31Speaker 10: good leader to.
- 47:32Speaker 4: You, the MANQ, thank you, appreciate.
- 47:34Speaker 10: You absolutely, man, this is fun again.
- 47:36Speaker 5: All right, that's.
- 47:36Speaker 4: Fun and uh yeah, go ahead and jump on the
- 47:38Speaker 4: Seahawk bandwagon for this week.
- 47:39Speaker 5: If you, oh no, you thought I wasn't.
- 47:42Speaker 10: I mean think Mendoza is a Heisman Trophy winner and
- 47:44Speaker 10: a national champion. Clint Kobat goes and wins the Super Bowl,
- 47:47Speaker 10: then also, that's some winning. Is that not some winning pedigree?
- 47:50Speaker 4: You've added some championship stuff.
- 47:52Speaker 10: I'm just saying, yeah, it's how you start the culture, right,
- 47:55Speaker 10: you know what we call it, the culture build.
- 47:57Speaker 5: Appreciate it.
- 47:58Speaker 4: All right, Q Meyers from Radio Nation orscuse me, Raider
- 48:03Speaker 4: Nation Radio. He does the Unnecessary Roughness Show from two
- 48:07Speaker 4: to five pm, and that should be a pretty good listen.

- 48:14Speaker 4: and he's got some skills over there.
- 48:16Speaker 5: So we appreciate him hopping on.

- 49:38Speaker 4: Aboard these smooth audio waters. We are going to be
- 49:43Speaker 4: here all week long. Three of our four shows, the Infness,
- 49:48Speaker 4: you know, you know, the in Forness, difficult guy to
- 49:51Speaker 4: work with, had a lot of demands.
- 49:54Speaker 5: We had to keep him back in Seattle. Yeah yeah,
- 49:59Speaker 5: you know what, you can keep your panties entering a bunch,
- 50:01Speaker 5: you'd keep that back in Seattle. That's right right down here.
- 50:04Speaker 4: Then we have unbunched panties on this on this broadcast,
- 50:08Speaker 4: so welcome into our coverage. We got our QB one
- 50:11Speaker 4: here as well, which we're excited about.
- 50:13Speaker 9: Hugh Millan.
- 50:14Speaker 4: But of course we do want to tell you Talala
- 50:16Speaker 4: Psort Casino make sure you get to one of their kiosks.
- 50:20Speaker 4: They are operating their twenty four hours. They're open twenty
- 50:23Speaker 4: four hours. Like I said last week, they're like js
- 50:25Speaker 4: and those kiosks always open. So head on over to
- 50:29Speaker 4: the Talala Prasort Casino. Maybe place a couple bets at
- 50:33Speaker 4: the Draft Kings sports book, and you know, juice up
- 50:36Speaker 4: your enjoyment of the Super Bowl. Not that you need anymore,
- 50:40Speaker 4: My goodness, your team's in it.
- 50:41Speaker 5: Well, if you're in Seattle, yeah, they don't need extra juice.
- 50:45Speaker 5: It doesn't hurt. Doesn't hurt, you know, because I don't
- 50:47Speaker 5: think it's gonna go there and bet against the Seahawks.
- 50:50Speaker 5: So it's like if you're hoisting a Lombardi Trophy or
- 50:53Speaker 5: the Seahawks are and you're hoisting a winning ticket, so
- 50:56Speaker 5: win win.
- 50:56Speaker 4: If you took the prop bet, Hugh Millan will make
- 50:59Speaker 4: the trip to Sanford, Cisco and not ian for a nest.
- 51:01Speaker 4: You've already cashed in at the Draft Gings Sports block.
- 51:04Speaker 4: It it's great to have our QB one.
- 51:07Speaker 11: Hockey doing getting in the way of a Super Bowl.
- 51:08Speaker 11: Come on, come on, get your stuff to that calendar.
- 51:15Speaker 11: So so Dick Vane was tossing you guys around a
- 51:18Speaker 11: little bit last night.
- 51:19Speaker 5: Uh yeah, that passive. It was like impassive. I don't
- 51:22Speaker 5: think he meant to. Yeah, we kind of earned it, well,
- 51:26Speaker 5: just just as simple like really, you guys are going
- 51:28Speaker 5: to bed this early? And I'm like, did Dick Fane
- 51:30Speaker 5: just say that? Yeah? He did, kept me up, He
- 51:32Speaker 5: did this all hard time fall asleep.
- 51:35Speaker 11: A man lives two lives, his original one and then
- 51:38Speaker 11: the day from which Dick Vane gives you abuse for Yeah,
- 51:44Speaker 11: so I consider yourself on your second the first day
- 51:47Speaker 11: of your second life.
- 51:48Speaker 4: A guy nicknamed snow Globe pretty much called me a
- 51:51Speaker 4: pansy last night on his way to bed.
- 51:56Speaker 5: Yeah, all right, I had to.
- 51:58Speaker 4: Rethink all right, life, my priorities here. So if you
- 52:02Speaker 4: want to come over to the house, we're gonna get
- 52:04Speaker 4: our drink on.
- 52:04Speaker 11: I want to come over to the house, caparouse.
- 52:13Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, I don't know what you did when
- 52:16Speaker 5: Softy dropped you office. He came walking in and all
- 52:20Speaker 5: of a sudden turned into like a ninety seven year
- 52:22Speaker 5: old dude like shuffling around. I'm so tired. What did
- 52:26Speaker 5: you do to him?
- 52:28Speaker 11: You know, he is notorious, like he's he's this light
- 52:32Speaker 11: switch is either on or off.
- 52:33Speaker 5: There's no dimmer.
- 52:35Speaker 11: So you got the off switch you, I promise you
- 52:38Speaker 11: you will experience the on switch.
- 52:40Speaker 4: Oh yeah, yes, oh yeah, yeah yeah, mostly on, mostly on,
- 52:44Speaker 4: just no dimmer, unlike the way.
- 52:45Speaker 5: You put that.
- 52:46Speaker 4: All right, Well, we got a lot to discuss this week.
- 52:49Speaker 4: So excited to have Hugh milling down here with us.
- 52:51Speaker 4: So we're gonna probably bug him to come on with
- 52:54Speaker 4: us every day this week since we're down here. But
- 52:57Speaker 4: this is the normal Monday morning quarterback session.
- 52:59Speaker 5: We got a game to break down.
- 53:01Speaker 4: But we also have an offensive coordinator that's involved in
- 53:04Speaker 4: the news this week, and more more than involved. It
- 53:08Speaker 4: looks like he's coaching his last game as our offensive
- 53:11Speaker 4: coordinator on Sunday, and Clint Kubiak looks like he's gonna
- 53:14Speaker 4: take the Raiders job come Monday morning. So your reaction
- 53:20Speaker 4: to that, what kind of thought does that breed with you? Well?
- 53:23Speaker 11: I think on some level it's inevitable. We talked about
- 53:27Speaker 11: when the Seahawks hired Mike McDonald, and we all love
- 53:30Speaker 11: the hire, but there's always that caveat that when you
- 53:35Speaker 11: hire a defensive coach and he then hires an offensive coach.
- 53:40Speaker 11: If he does well, then he's gonna move on. And
- 53:43Speaker 11: there's there's more. I don't know, there's more sensitivity to
- 53:47Speaker 11: an offense. You know, defense is a beehive. Offense as
- 53:50Speaker 11: a symphony, like there's a cohesion that's required within the offense.
- 53:54Speaker 11: So that's always one of the concerns in my opinion
- 53:59Speaker 11: with hiring a defensive coaches that you go through that
- 54:01Speaker 11: we we could be in an ideal world, we're right
- 54:04Speaker 11: back in this exact stage. Again, I do for the team,
- 54:09Speaker 11: but it is it does put a strain on the
- 54:11Speaker 11: offensive players and and then depending on you know, I
- 54:15Speaker 11: think I think we got it on some level with
- 54:17Speaker 11: whole judgment. Let's see, can they hire Within as the
- 54:20Speaker 11: passing game coordinator, the run came coordinator. If you can
- 54:23Speaker 11: hire Within and you can keep the same terminology and
- 54:26Speaker 11: a lot of the same philosophies, then Sam Darnold's hearing
- 54:30Speaker 11: a lot of the same messaging and and there's no
- 54:33Speaker 11: re you know, rewiring your your vernacular and what have you.
- 54:39Speaker 11: If you have to bring in a guy and he's
- 54:40Speaker 11: insistent on bringing in his terminology and and he's got
- 54:44Speaker 11: a vision for offense, that's that's that's that's not the
- 54:47Speaker 11: smoothest of transitions for the quarterback and and you know
- 54:51Speaker 11: the receivers and and you know if the alignment, if
- 54:54Speaker 11: the offensive line coach goes with the Raiders, Uh, who
- 54:58Speaker 11: is he replaced by? Is that the same term monology?
- 55:00Speaker 11: So it has the potential potential to be very disruptive,
- 55:07Speaker 11: but not by Sunday. You mean, oh no, I'm talking
- 55:09Speaker 11: about next Yeah, yeah, no Sunday. I think any concerns
- 55:15Speaker 11: one might have. I think just the template would be,
- 55:18Speaker 11: is your offensive coordinator focused on winning the Super Bowl.
- 55:22Speaker 5: Or are you catching him watching Fernando Mendoza.
- 55:25Speaker 11: Well, I mean, yeah, exactly, But there there's no way
- 55:31Speaker 11: he could if we're talking about one hundred percent of
- 55:34Speaker 11: focus that he would have had without being the Raider coach,
- 55:39Speaker 11: There's no way that. I mean, you know, almost have
- 55:43Speaker 11: to be more than human to not have it come
- 55:46Speaker 11: down by a fraction of one percent. But I just
- 55:52Speaker 11: put on the tape of what the Seahawks did in
- 55:55Speaker 11: the NFC Championship game and we talked to I'm not
- 55:58Speaker 11: going to repeat the seven to eight plays that are
- 56:02Speaker 11: memorable to me where Kubiak is getting wide open receivers,
- 56:08Speaker 11: And I'm looking at Chris Shula, the defensive coordinator for
- 56:11Speaker 11: the Rams, who also was interviewing for head coaching jobs,
- 56:14Speaker 11: and I'm I'm looking at how they're not communicating, they're
- 56:18Speaker 11: not passing off, and and just the timing at which
- 56:21Speaker 11: Seattle was timing their motions to get free access for
- 56:25Speaker 11: JSN up the field as opposed to being re routed
- 56:28Speaker 11: the line. Like all these things, I look and I say,
- 56:32Speaker 11: whatever Clint Kubiak was doing to try and be a
- 56:36Speaker 11: head coach, it didn't prevent him from you know, you
- 56:40Speaker 11: dropped forty one on the forty nine ers the week before.
- 56:43Speaker 11: You know you you're you're designing multiple opportunities for wide
- 56:49Speaker 11: open touchdowns, not all of which Sam Darnold saw. By
- 56:53Speaker 11: the way, now it didn't hurt him in the net
- 56:55Speaker 11: because as I described the end of the second quarter,
- 56:58Speaker 11: it's three straight plays in the red zone, in the
- 57:00Speaker 11: red zone fringe where Seahawks are wide open for touchdowns.
- 57:04Speaker 5: We only got one.
- 57:05Speaker 11: Now, now I'm not gonna say you missed two touchdowns
- 57:07Speaker 11: because you got it on the third. So in that sequence,
- 57:10Speaker 11: it actually you chew it up a little more time
- 57:12Speaker 11: away from the Rams and so so I don't want
- 57:15Speaker 11: to make it sound like they left fourteen points on
- 57:17Speaker 11: the board.
- 57:18Speaker 5: They didn't.
- 57:19Speaker 11: But the point is that there was a lot of
- 57:21Speaker 11: good stuff that we saw from Clint Kobiak. And so no,
- 57:26Speaker 11: my concern is not about the Super Bowl. My concern
- 57:30Speaker 11: is about the replacement, right and how much overhaul is there?
- 57:34Speaker 11: And even if you hire from within, does you know
- 57:37Speaker 11: play calling?
- 57:38Speaker 5: Anybody?
- 57:38Speaker 11: Look, I can put a sheet here and I can
- 57:43Speaker 11: draw it with crayon from a four year old, or
- 57:45Speaker 11: let the four year old draw it, and and you
- 57:47Speaker 11: can stand on the sideline and you can look at Okay, well,
- 57:50Speaker 11: let's play seventeen and call anybody can call a play, right,
- 57:55Speaker 11: But being a good play caller, and we're going to
- 57:58Speaker 11: get the best in the business on in less than
- 57:59Speaker 11: any Being a good play caller is is there's a
- 58:03Speaker 11: deep layer of of of what how you're processing. Okay,
- 58:08Speaker 11: I'm gonna I did this play in the first quarter.
- 58:11Speaker 11: I remember how they played it. The sequence. I got
- 58:14Speaker 11: to get to the right hasset, the right down and
- 58:15Speaker 11: I'm and then I'm gonna be able to hit hit
- 58:18Speaker 11: that look right like like the Winter Olympics are coming up.
- 58:23Speaker 11: I think it's beautiful watching those Mogul skiers, right, like like, yes,
- 58:28Speaker 11: Sloan is great, but the Mogo skiers are so so.
- 58:31Speaker 5: Incredible, right, you know.
- 58:32Speaker 11: And and a good mogle skill will look they say
- 58:37Speaker 11: three four moguls down. He's not looking at the mogul
- 58:40Speaker 11: that he's he's hitting, right, He's his eyes are way
- 58:44Speaker 11: down the hill and his brain just probably like a
- 58:47Speaker 11: good play caller is several moguls you know ahead, and
- 58:52Speaker 11: and and and layering and stacking and and saying okay,
- 58:56Speaker 11: this is the time to just run inside zone. This
- 59:00Speaker 11: is the time to take the shot, the exotic shot.
- 59:03Speaker 11: And yeah, you know it's on the sheet. Every play
- 59:06Speaker 11: every plays on the sheet, right and right in your hand.
- 59:08Speaker 11: You can call any of them at any time. But
- 59:10Speaker 11: do they have is there a is there a reason?
- 59:14Speaker 11: And that is a multi multi, multi layered process for
- 59:18Speaker 11: the good ones. And so so you can hire somebody
- 59:21Speaker 11: from within. That doesn't mean they can see three moguls ahead.
- 59:25Speaker 11: They might just be staring at their skis right, and
- 59:28Speaker 11: and you know, and just you know, picking play number
- 59:31Speaker 11: seven off the crayon, you know, from the crab.
- 59:34Speaker 5: So I mean, I'm just real, I mean I'm gonna
- 59:37Speaker 5: my four year old Grace. She's got the sixty four
- 59:40Speaker 5: pack of crayon, so now, yeah, she can draw open.
- 59:46Speaker 5: It gives her a better chance that many options. Will
- 59:48Speaker 5: you have her before Sunday? Drop a play sheet? She's
- 59:51Speaker 5: got a whole notebook full of them already. Yeah, okay, yeah,
- 59:54Speaker 5: I mean I'm just going to tell her. I'm going
- 59:56Speaker 5: to pass it on to my wife, like throw her
- 59:58Speaker 5: hat in the ring. I mean, if there's an opening,
- 1:00:00Speaker 5: now she could probably anybody can call play. Apparently there's open.
- 1:00:05Speaker 4: She's got more crowns than most.
- 1:00:06Speaker 5: Percentage wise, I mean, obviously you're talking about the turnover
- 1:00:09Speaker 5: possibilities with this whole thing. I mean, if you have
- 1:00:13Speaker 5: somebody that is considered genius, like trying to replace a
- 1:00:16Speaker 5: Mike McDonald right now, you would say, probability is you're
- 1:00:19Speaker 5: not going to get somebody that has that mind. I
- 1:00:21Speaker 5: would brown liquor, okay, and lots of it. If you
- 1:00:24Speaker 5: told me we have to replacements, Okay, Well, percentage wise,
- 1:00:27Speaker 5: what is the probability of fans there, I'll yeah, yeah,
- 1:00:33Speaker 5: he'll stay up with you fan. I'll do brown liquor,
- 1:00:39Speaker 5: like seven pm, nighty.
- 1:00:41Speaker 4: Night fans Yeah, Well, I'm here, and I think it's
- 1:00:44Speaker 4: more like, just give yourself that extra half hour.
- 1:00:48Speaker 5: I'm I'm kind of going over to faint side on
- 1:00:50Speaker 5: this thing. They're not wrong, You're not wrong. This morning
- 1:00:52Speaker 5: shift is ruined me as far as being cool. So
- 1:00:56Speaker 5: just based on what you've seen one year of Clint
- 1:00:59Speaker 5: Kubiak running this offense. You talked about last week, scheming
- 1:01:02Speaker 5: guys open and even more opportunities than the scoreboard maybe showed.
- 1:01:06Speaker 5: But when you're just thinking, okay, if this does come
- 1:01:09Speaker 5: to fruition, he moves on and he's the Raiders' next
- 1:01:12Speaker 5: head coach. Probability, How difficult is it to get somebody
- 1:01:15Speaker 5: that you feel is going to be better than what
- 1:01:18Speaker 5: you just witnessed this season?
- 1:01:21Speaker 11: Great question. I mean, you know Kubiak was good enough
- 1:01:23Speaker 11: to apparently get the attention of Tom Brady. Tom Brady was,
- 1:01:29Speaker 11: from from what I understand, more involved in this process.
- 1:01:33Speaker 11: You know, maybe for Brady, you know, a guy like
- 1:01:36Speaker 11: Mike McCarthy for example, maybe that wouldn't have worked for him.
- 1:01:40Speaker 11: Brady wants to have that clear Like Brady's in his
- 1:01:43Speaker 11: what late forties now pushing fifty, so he gets a
- 1:01:46Speaker 11: guy in his thirties, So maybe there's a hierarchy there where,
- 1:01:50Speaker 11: whereas if he had hired a McCarthy type. I'm not
- 1:01:52Speaker 11: saying Mike McCarthy exactly, but something like that, maybe there's
- 1:01:57Speaker 11: a little bit more of a nebulous ructure ye involved.
- 1:02:01Speaker 11: So so, but Brady, he did the game, the NFC
- 1:02:06Speaker 11: Championship game. I assume he watched the tape because he's
- 1:02:09Speaker 11: a tape Monts and he saw the same stuff I saw,
- 1:02:12Speaker 11: you know, and he can see more stuff than I
- 1:02:14Speaker 11: can see because he's Tom freaking Brady. So so I
- 1:02:16Speaker 11: think that he looked and he saw the incline of
- 1:02:20Speaker 11: the Seahawks get you know, getting hot offensively at the end,
- 1:02:24Speaker 11: and and and maybe rounding into form. You know, they
- 1:02:28Speaker 11: early on first three quarters of the season it was
- 1:02:30Speaker 11: a you know, push the ball down the field, but
- 1:02:35Speaker 11: there was something lacking in the running game. And then
- 1:02:37Speaker 11: you know, the last four or five weeks for the
- 1:02:39Speaker 11: better part of that, the running game has come alive.
- 1:02:42Speaker 11: And then kind of everything came together in terms of
- 1:02:45Speaker 11: the play caller in the playoffs in some sense with
- 1:02:48Speaker 11: the forty one points with the forty nine ers, and
- 1:02:50Speaker 11: then a good showing against the Rams so he's he's aware.
- 1:02:53Speaker 11: I'm I'm sure if he's involved with the hiring. You're
- 1:02:57Speaker 11: talking about a guy that's you know, near the top
- 1:03:02Speaker 11: obviously a top judged to be a top handful of
- 1:03:06Speaker 11: of offensive coordinators. The probability that you replace somebody that good,
- 1:03:12Speaker 11: I mean, I would think it would be less than
- 1:03:14Speaker 11: fifty percent. You know, you just got to make up
- 1:03:16Speaker 11: for it another way. So now, if you hire from
- 1:03:18Speaker 11: within and there's that continuity, there's there's other aspects of it.
- 1:03:21Speaker 11: But but you know, as a Seahawk fan, as an
- 1:03:26Speaker 11: air Quotes analyst, I would prefer that Kubiak was still
- 1:03:30Speaker 11: around for next year.
- 1:03:33Speaker 9: Yeah, that's true.
- 1:03:34Speaker 5: Until you see that, Yeah, there is that assentatically. Yeah, yeah,
- 1:03:38Speaker 5: there's a footnote to the product.
- 1:03:39Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, well yeah, I mean, and I think you're right,
- 1:03:43Speaker 4: And I think it's relieving for people to hear that
- 1:03:45Speaker 4: you don't feel it's going to be a distraction.
- 1:03:47Speaker 5: And I don't either.
- 1:03:48Speaker 4: I think we're good for Sunday, but come Monday, and
- 1:03:52Speaker 4: it's not just Kubiak.
- 1:03:53Speaker 5: I mean, it could be Benton.
- 1:03:55Speaker 4: Leaves as your offensive line coach, as you mentioned, it
- 1:03:58Speaker 4: could even be add and dirty. I mean, if if
- 1:04:00Speaker 4: Clint Kubiak sitting there saying, hey, you've got to escape
- 1:04:05Speaker 4: Mike's shadow. If ever anybody's going to take you seriously
- 1:04:08Speaker 4: as a head coaching candidate, I like you. I know
- 1:04:12Speaker 4: you know the secret sauce. Why don't you come over?
- 1:04:15Speaker 4: The Raiders could end up with half of our staff
- 1:04:17Speaker 4: next year with no through no fault of Mike's as
- 1:04:21Speaker 4: a matter of fact, because Mike is open.
- 1:04:22Speaker 11: And then you know, look, Washington made a terrible mistake
- 1:04:30Speaker 11: hiring Troy Dannon.
- 1:04:31Speaker 5: In my opinion, that guy is insufferable.
- 1:04:35Speaker 11: And you know he that was your opinion that that
- 1:04:39Speaker 11: that is and and and just a guy you no,
- 1:04:43Speaker 11: no decent person would ever want to work for. That's
- 1:04:46Speaker 11: a little bit of exaggeration, but I'm I'm I'm saying
- 1:04:49Speaker 11: a little bit of that for effect. But uh that
- 1:04:52Speaker 11: that is a contributor for what happened with Calen de Boor.
- 1:04:57Speaker 11: And so now you know, when you start saying, okay,
- 1:05:01Speaker 11: there's a lot of things been hitting the news lately,
- 1:05:06Speaker 11: the you sell the team, well, who's gonna who's gonna
- 1:05:09Speaker 11: buy the team?
- 1:05:12Speaker 5: Does? How much does he want to change? You know? Uh,
- 1:05:16Speaker 5: I want John Schneider.
- 1:05:17Speaker 11: To feel exactly about the way he goes feels when
- 1:05:21Speaker 11: he goes to work as he does. Right now, you know,
- 1:05:24Speaker 11: I don't want I don't want any app Apple Cart
- 1:05:26Speaker 11: getting upset with Yeah, with the structure.
- 1:05:29Speaker 5: It's too successful.
- 1:05:30Speaker 11: So now degree I have to emphasize this because it
- 1:05:35Speaker 11: reminds me of the Sam darnoald Obleak. The The degree
- 1:05:39Speaker 11: to which we are concerned about an unwanted event is
- 1:05:43Speaker 11: the product of two factors probability times magnitude. And I
- 1:05:49Speaker 11: can say I do I believe that they'll probably that
- 1:05:54Speaker 11: whoever buys the team is not gonna upset the the
- 1:05:58Speaker 11: Apple car.
- 1:05:58Speaker 5: Yes, I do.
- 1:06:00Speaker 11: That's more probable than not. Let's say there, but let's
- 1:06:03Speaker 11: say there's a twenty five percent chance that somebody wants
- 1:06:06Speaker 11: to kind of, you know, start pushing things around and uh,
- 1:06:10Speaker 11: you know, rearranging all the furniture. Yeah, and to a
- 1:06:15Speaker 11: point that it kind of disrupts things. Adversely, I guess
- 1:06:19Speaker 11: disrupting adversus as a redundant. But you know what I mean. Then, then,
- 1:06:24Speaker 11: even though it's unlikely to happen, if it were to happen,
- 1:06:28Speaker 11: WHOA how did that happen? I wish I wish the
- 1:06:31Speaker 11: Allen's doesn't. Just does Jodie have another sister that can
- 1:06:36Speaker 11: buy the team please? You know, you know, And and
- 1:06:39Speaker 11: then now we're in a situation. We got this, you know,
- 1:06:43Speaker 11: brilliant defensive head coach. And that's the cost of doing
- 1:06:47Speaker 11: business with a brilliant defensive head coach. His offensive coordinator,
- 1:06:51Speaker 11: if he does the job the way we want him
- 1:06:53Speaker 11: to do, he's going to be gone. Yeah, and the offense,
- 1:06:56Speaker 11: which is more sensitive to change. The offense is going
- 1:07:01Speaker 11: to have to do more of the changing.
- 1:07:04Speaker 9: Yeah.
- 1:07:04Speaker 5: Yeah.

- 1:09:37Speaker 12: tell you what. I came into the studio today. Yeah,
- 1:09:39Speaker 12: And I came into and and and you weren't here,
- 1:09:42Speaker 12: and Bucky wasn't here. And I sat down and I
- 1:09:45Speaker 12: went across to your seat.
- 1:09:48Speaker 5: Oh you're in my seat.
- 1:09:49Speaker 12: No no, no, no. I went across just to get
- 1:09:52Speaker 12: the feel of it. Oh, And I said, I can't
- 1:09:54Speaker 12: stay here. I cannot stay here. So I came back
- 1:09:57Speaker 12: and sat across in my seat, and that's where it
- 1:10:00Speaker 12: sits right now. It was fun for a while.
- 1:10:03Speaker 4: I want you to sit in my seat because I'm
- 1:10:05Speaker 4: at the super Bowl, where you know where.
- 1:10:09Speaker 5: You have belonged your entire life.

- 1:10:22Speaker 4: that's a really fair trade, you know what.

- 1:10:28Speaker 12: Then maybe i'll come in tomorrow.
- 1:10:29Speaker 4: Yeah. Well, I'm glad you could join us. It's great
- 1:10:35Speaker 4: to have you with us. And it is a great

- 1:10:40Speaker 4: are sitting here on only a Monday. So when you
- 1:10:43Speaker 4: think of super Bowl, please tell me you remember the
- 1:10:47Speaker 4: good and not that one experience.
- 1:10:50Speaker 12: You know what, you do remember the good, you absolutely do,
- 1:10:53Speaker 12: But the tough experience sticks with you, you know what.
- 1:10:58Speaker 12: And I'm over it. You know no, you're not. I
- 1:11:01Speaker 12: think I'm over it.
- 1:11:03Speaker 9: You are not over it.
- 1:11:04Speaker 12: Let's not talk about it? Can we not talk about it? No,
- 1:11:07Speaker 12: but but that's the thing. That's the thing you think
- 1:11:09Speaker 12: about and it sticks with you and you think of
- 1:11:12Speaker 12: what what you could have done, and and you know what,
- 1:11:14Speaker 12: but listen, when you win one, it's it's special.
- 1:11:18Speaker 5: It is really cool, Mike.
- 1:11:20Speaker 11: The league seems to have settled into this calendar where
- 1:11:23Speaker 11: there's two weeks between the championship games and the Super Bowl.
- 1:11:27Speaker 11: There was a time where many of the Super Bowls
- 1:11:29Speaker 11: there was just the one week.
- 1:11:33Speaker 5: What what do you have.
- 1:11:34Speaker 11: A thought about the pros and the cons?
- 1:11:37Speaker 5: I mean, here we are on a Monday.
- 1:11:39Speaker 11: Uh, you know, there's there's been the build up already
- 1:11:42Speaker 11: for over a week and and and obviously we have
- 1:11:45Speaker 11: nearly another week. How does that impact the coaches different
- 1:11:49Speaker 11: the players? Do you do you look for signs for
- 1:11:52Speaker 11: for how it may affect guys adversely and and try
- 1:11:55Speaker 11: to curtail any any of that.
- 1:11:57Speaker 12: Yeah, I think I think. Well, I was a two
- 1:12:00Speaker 12: week person. I never had to do it in one week,
- 1:12:03Speaker 12: and I was trying to figure out, after having done
- 1:12:06Speaker 12: it in two weeks, how you could possibly do everything
- 1:12:10Speaker 12: that goes on in one week, and that includes families, travel,
- 1:12:14Speaker 12: all sorts of stuff, not necessarily the football stuff, but
- 1:12:17Speaker 12: everything else that goes with it. So I thought two
- 1:12:21Speaker 12: weeks was important because then you can you can dedicate
- 1:12:25Speaker 12: the football time the football time, and then when the
- 1:12:29Speaker 12: time comes with things change, when the families come in
- 1:12:32Speaker 12: on Thursday and and and the different things radio row
- 1:12:35Speaker 12: and all the different things that goes on for players
- 1:12:38Speaker 12: when they come in. I think you needed the two weeks.
- 1:12:41Speaker 12: And now was it a I didn't I'd ever since
- 1:12:45Speaker 12: it was a problem. I thought it helped you and
- 1:12:48Speaker 12: I approach it that way.
- 1:12:50Speaker 5: Coach. There's reports out that the deal with Clint Kubiak
- 1:12:55Speaker 5: becoming the next head coach for the Raiders that it's
- 1:12:58Speaker 5: pretty much a done deal. They can't to come out
- 1:13:00Speaker 5: with it officially until after the Super Bowl. But you've
- 1:13:04Speaker 5: been in this situation before, You've had coaches or coordinators
- 1:13:07Speaker 5: probably in this situation before. Any concern about it affecting
- 1:13:13Speaker 5: him as far as prepping for the Super Bowl or
- 1:13:16Speaker 5: is there enough hours in the day that he can
- 1:13:17Speaker 5: do both.
- 1:13:19Speaker 12: I think he can do both. I mean, if he
- 1:13:21Speaker 12: in fact has signed or is there in the Las Vegas,
- 1:13:27Speaker 12: then yeah, he's thinking about he's excited about that, but
- 1:13:30Speaker 12: he also knows this game at hand is the most
- 1:13:34Speaker 12: important thing for him right now. You know, I reflect
- 1:13:38Speaker 12: back when I was a coordinator in San Francisco we
- 1:13:41Speaker 12: beat Denver in that Super Bowl. I'm walking down with
- 1:13:45Speaker 12: Mike Shanahan after the game he was with Denver. We're
- 1:13:48Speaker 12: talking and stuff, and then I go to walk into
- 1:13:51Speaker 12: the locker room in the New Orleans and two guys
- 1:13:54Speaker 12: come up to real fast and shove two things in
- 1:13:58Speaker 12: my pocket and then go, I go, what the heck
- 1:14:01Speaker 12: was that? And it was someone from the New York
- 1:14:05Speaker 12: Jets and someone from the Arizona Cardinals offering wanted me
- 1:14:09Speaker 12: to come in an interview for the head jobs. In
- 1:14:12Speaker 12: those days, I don't know why they got a bunch
- 1:14:15Speaker 12: of rules now and you you probably know him. I don't,
- 1:14:18Speaker 12: But in those days, you had to finish. You couldn't
- 1:14:21Speaker 12: talk to anybody till you were finished. And so I
- 1:14:25Speaker 12: remember going to and other coaches saying, well, you make
- 1:14:27Speaker 12: a decision, so he can you know, the other guys
- 1:14:30Speaker 12: line up for jobs. So it's different now, But I
- 1:14:33Speaker 12: think Clint Listen, he's a professional. He's in the Super Bowl.
- 1:14:37Speaker 12: And one of the reasons that the Seahawks are in
- 1:14:39Speaker 12: the Super Bowl is because of him. Of course it's
- 1:14:42Speaker 12: going to be exciting moving forward, but this is where
- 1:14:44Speaker 12: his focus is.
- 1:14:45Speaker 11: Yeah, I think a lot some days where it's permissible
- 1:14:48Speaker 11: to speak to teams in this capacity, and even Mike
- 1:14:52Speaker 11: the Saturday prior to the championship game that was allowed. Now,
- 1:14:57Speaker 11: you know, I just can't monitor everything I happened impermissibly
- 1:15:03Speaker 11: trying to create a situation like that.
- 1:15:06Speaker 5: What what about?
- 1:15:09Speaker 11: You know, Buck asks about the Super Bowl and the
- 1:15:12Speaker 11: impact that that could have. What about, Uh, let's pull
- 1:15:16Speaker 11: the helicopter up to a higher elevation and kind of
- 1:15:18Speaker 11: look down on twenty twenty six and beyond. How how
- 1:15:23Speaker 11: concerned are we as Sea Hawk fans that now apparently
- 1:15:29Speaker 11: it really looks like you're losing the offensive coordinator. What
- 1:15:32Speaker 11: goes to your mind about the challenges for the c R.
- 1:15:34Speaker 12: Well, there are challenges, you know, And I reflect back
- 1:15:37Speaker 12: on a time I was standing with Bill Parcells. We
- 1:15:40Speaker 12: were playing a game, and before the game and he
- 1:15:43Speaker 12: we had won a Super Bowl or we're getting close.
- 1:15:46Speaker 12: I forget it, but getting close, and he goes, you know,
- 1:15:49Speaker 12: when you get the hardest thing you'll have to deal
- 1:15:52Speaker 12: with now, not players. Not getting players is losing coaches,
- 1:15:56Speaker 12: losing good coaches and replacing them. And I thought, well,
- 1:16:00Speaker 12: I'm not so sure, but you know, he was right.
- 1:16:03Speaker 12: And uh, one of the great conversations I've had with
- 1:16:06Speaker 12: Mike McDonald since he came was about the hiring of
- 1:16:12Speaker 12: an offensive coordinator, you know, because he had a list
- 1:16:15Speaker 12: of guys and Clint was on that list, and and
- 1:16:18Speaker 12: and I just we talked a lot about that. And
- 1:16:21Speaker 12: so he's going to go through the same thing again.
- 1:16:25Speaker 12: He has a list of people already. I know that,
- 1:16:28Speaker 12: and uh, you know, and he made such a good
- 1:16:30Speaker 12: decision with Clinton, and I trust his judgment to make
- 1:16:33Speaker 12: another one. But will it be a different Will things
- 1:16:36Speaker 12: change just a little bit?
- 1:16:37Speaker 5: I think?
- 1:16:38Speaker 9: So?
- 1:16:38Speaker 12: You know, no two coordinators are the same.
- 1:16:40Speaker 5: What did your assistance ever go on to do? Though?
- 1:16:43Speaker 12: I mean that ends really Yeah, yeah, I know that
- 1:16:47Speaker 12: dog on Andy Reid. Yeah maybe your mustache, would you
- 1:16:51Speaker 12: trim it up a little exactly?
- 1:16:52Speaker 5: You know, your career killer?
- 1:16:54Speaker 10: Yeah?
- 1:16:54Speaker 4: I tell you, try to try to create a person
- 1:16:57Speaker 4: on your own. Just don't copy the mentor Come on now,
- 1:17:01Speaker 4: Mike Congrin is with us. We are Monday morning quarterbacking.
- 1:17:04Speaker 4: And before we get off of this topic, I was
- 1:17:06Speaker 4: covering the Super Bowl the I want to shot for
- 1:17:09Speaker 4: my own grocery super Bowl, and that was you versus Parcels,
- 1:17:14Speaker 4: And of course you won thirty five to twenty one,
- 1:17:17Speaker 4: and that's but that was the Super Bowl. And I'm
- 1:17:20Speaker 4: telling you, coach, from a coverage standpoint, you didn't realize
- 1:17:22Speaker 4: this because you were putting a game plan together, but
- 1:17:25Speaker 4: from a coverage standpoint, it took over the entire week,
- 1:17:28Speaker 4: that entire conversation about Bill Parcells is coaching his last
- 1:17:32Speaker 4: game and all of this sort of thing. And then
- 1:17:34Speaker 4: you went out there and kind of kind of dominated
- 1:17:37Speaker 4: took it to them and that Super Bowl. So I
- 1:17:40Speaker 4: don't know if that factored in at all, but certainly
- 1:17:44Speaker 4: that's the game. That's the super Bowl that comes to
- 1:17:46Speaker 4: mind where there was there might be a coaching distraction.
- 1:17:50Speaker 4: Were you even aware of it that week? Were you
- 1:17:52Speaker 4: aware of how much everybody was talking about Parcels?
- 1:17:56Speaker 12: You know what I really wasn't. Then that's shame on me.
- 1:18:00Speaker 12: Should have, but I was focused on what my job was.
- 1:18:03Speaker 12: And then you know, I told I told you this
- 1:18:06Speaker 12: before in when in those press conferences that you go
- 1:18:09Speaker 12: to where you have you know, there's eight hundred people
- 1:18:13Speaker 12: out there that I was the I was the underdog
- 1:18:17Speaker 12: coach with Bill Parcell's I got that, and I understood that,
- 1:18:21Speaker 12: and I kind of fed off that quite honestly. But
- 1:18:24Speaker 12: I didn't know he was leaving right away. I know
- 1:18:27Speaker 12: this when when I know this, when we the game
- 1:18:29Speaker 12: was over and and I had never been I'm a
- 1:18:32Speaker 12: big guy. I'd never been lifted on my up in
- 1:18:35Speaker 12: the air ever, and all of a sudden, I'm up
- 1:18:38Speaker 12: in the air, and all of a sudden, I look
- 1:18:40Speaker 12: over to I'm trying to find Bill because we were
- 1:18:42Speaker 12: we were you know, we were competitors, but we were friends.
- 1:18:45Speaker 12: And he looks at me in waves and says, don't
- 1:18:48Speaker 12: even just enjoy it, just waves. And I said, I said,
- 1:18:52Speaker 12: put me down, you know, because I have to shake
- 1:18:54Speaker 12: hands with the other coach.
- 1:18:55Speaker 5: I have to.
- 1:18:56Speaker 12: And I went over and shook his hands, and and uh,
- 1:18:59Speaker 12: but I didn't know.
- 1:19:00Speaker 4: Yeah, Ashley, Bucky and I want to recreate that for you.
- 1:19:04Speaker 4: Whenever you're up to it. We'll just lift you up
- 1:19:06Speaker 4: on our shoulders around the stake.
- 1:19:08Speaker 12: I've been waiting, and I think, because I sat in
- 1:19:10Speaker 12: your chair, that's not going to happen. I a little anger.
- 1:19:17Speaker 5: Like a Jewish wedding carrying the groom er. That's right, Yeah,
- 1:19:20Speaker 5: I got it.
- 1:19:21Speaker 12: I think I think I think Bucky has to be
- 1:19:24Speaker 12: part of that though.
- 1:19:25Speaker 5: It has to Yeah, yeah, I think he's going to
- 1:19:27Speaker 5: carry most of it.
- 1:19:28Speaker 11: Frankly, Yeah, I got you, Coke, Uh, Mike, I did
- 1:19:34Speaker 11: want to hit one more question on that. You know,
- 1:19:36Speaker 11: you know, there's a school of thought when when you
- 1:19:39Speaker 11: hire let's compare, uh, let's say Ben Johnson. We can
- 1:19:42Speaker 11: pick a lot of examples, but when you hire an
- 1:19:44Speaker 11: offensive coach, you say, all right, we've just paired Ben
- 1:19:47Speaker 11: Johnson with Caleb Williams, and if they have this wonderful success,
- 1:19:51Speaker 11: then there's going to be continuity for the quarterback for
- 1:19:54Speaker 11: years to come, because obviously the head coach isn't going
- 1:19:57Speaker 11: anywhere when you hire a defensive coach in this obviously
- 1:20:01Speaker 11: with Mike McDonald, Mike McDonald's going to find try and
- 1:20:04Speaker 11: find the most capable offensive coordinator he can find, which
- 1:20:07Speaker 11: is Kubiak, and then if all things go well, that
- 1:20:11Speaker 11: coach Kubiak, he's off. And then now you're right back
- 1:20:14Speaker 11: at the drying board. In theory, we could be going
- 1:20:17Speaker 11: through this every year and and now you know, the
- 1:20:22Speaker 11: opposite would be true. The defense has to you know,
- 1:20:24Speaker 11: defensive coordinators are are getting jobs for offensive coordinators and
- 1:20:27Speaker 11: the defense has to learn new stuff. But is it
- 1:20:31Speaker 11: more important or is there more of a primacy about
- 1:20:34Speaker 11: the continuity for a quarterback in the situation that we
- 1:20:38Speaker 11: find ourselves in.
- 1:20:39Speaker 12: I think it's important. I think that's why when this happened,
- 1:20:43Speaker 12: it's really important to who he hires.
- 1:20:46Speaker 5: You know.
- 1:20:46Speaker 12: And and again, like I said, we had this talk
- 1:20:48Speaker 12: about this, and and because I think coming in, one
- 1:20:52Speaker 12: of the things coming in is this offense now is
- 1:20:56Speaker 12: rolling a certain way. And so whoever comes in and
- 1:21:00Speaker 12: is hired, you know, you come in, you're hired. When
- 1:21:05Speaker 12: I was hired, you know, I brought the forty nine
- 1:21:07Speaker 12: ers system with me, you know, and because I that's
- 1:21:11Speaker 12: how I learned, and that's what I did. If the
- 1:21:14Speaker 12: whoever comes in is not going to have is not
- 1:21:16Speaker 12: going to have Clinton Kubia's system, he's not so either.
- 1:21:20Speaker 12: That's the tricky part I think is how as a
- 1:21:23Speaker 12: head coach you say, okay, here, I want you to
- 1:21:26Speaker 12: run my offense, but you actually are hiring a coordinator
- 1:21:31Speaker 12: because he's been good at doing something and it's probably
- 1:21:34Speaker 12: not the same, So how you balance that and handle
- 1:21:39Speaker 12: the quarterback? I think it's huge. It's huge coach.
- 1:21:44Speaker 5: They landed the Seahawks touchdown I think yesterday, and obviously
- 1:21:48Speaker 5: a lot of people in Seattle are feeling real confident
- 1:21:51Speaker 5: about this game, and understandably so the way that they're playing.
- 1:21:54Speaker 5: I mean, how much would you be concerned if you're
- 1:21:57Speaker 5: the head coach getting off that your team was maybe
- 1:21:59Speaker 5: here all the hype surrounding them.
- 1:22:02Speaker 12: I would be concerned, because I you know, I mentioned
- 1:22:05Speaker 12: it to you guys before too. I think that's one
- 1:22:08Speaker 12: of the reasons we lost our second Super Bowl in
- 1:22:10Speaker 12: Green Bay, because like the team, we were very confident
- 1:22:15Speaker 12: and and too confident as it turned out. Played lost
- 1:22:18Speaker 12: a close game, but we lost, and so I for
- 1:22:23Speaker 12: some reason, I don't see this team doing that. I
- 1:22:27Speaker 12: just don't think they'll be allowed to do it. I
- 1:22:30Speaker 12: don't think they They seem to just fire. They've got
- 1:22:33Speaker 12: young guys on the team. They're not guys that have
- 1:22:36Speaker 12: been there a long time, you know, and so this
- 1:22:39Speaker 12: for a lot of them, it is the first shot
- 1:22:41Speaker 12: at this and so I don't think they have to
- 1:22:44Speaker 12: worry about that. I think I think, but I would
- 1:22:46Speaker 12: say this, do not underestimate New England. They played close
- 1:22:51Speaker 12: games and they're and theirs you know league and all
- 1:22:54Speaker 12: that in their division. But this is a super Bowl
- 1:22:58Speaker 12: and we've all seen crazy things happen in this business.
- 1:23:02Speaker 4: Do you just have to trust that you have a
- 1:23:05Speaker 4: group of professionals? I mean, I don't know how much
- 1:23:07Speaker 4: you can monitor whether or not everybody is laser focused
- 1:23:10Speaker 4: the way that you would want them to be.
- 1:23:13Speaker 5: So I mean, I mean, maybe.
- 1:23:14Speaker 4: You do check to make sure that Clint Kubiak actually
- 1:23:18Speaker 4: is reading a sports illustrated and not Raider magazine, you know,
- 1:23:23Speaker 4: and you know, to make sure that he is watching
- 1:23:27Speaker 4: game film and not you know, howie long videos.
- 1:23:31Speaker 5: I mean, maybe you got to do that. I don't know.
- 1:23:33Speaker 4: But how much of how much of it do you
- 1:23:36Speaker 4: just have to just trust because you can't stay on
- 1:23:39Speaker 4: top of everybody, otherwise you might push it too far
- 1:23:42Speaker 4: the other way?
- 1:23:43Speaker 12: Yeah, with the coaches. With the coaches, you don't worry.
- 1:23:46Speaker 12: Now in Clint's case, you know, of course he's going
- 1:23:49Speaker 12: to go on to this edge coaching job. But he's
- 1:23:52Speaker 12: a professional and you'll see by his way, you know,
- 1:23:54Speaker 12: that wouldn't concern me at all the players that you
- 1:23:57Speaker 12: are concerned because you get characters on the team and
- 1:23:59Speaker 12: you wonder, what, Okay, the curfew is going to be
- 1:24:02Speaker 12: a little different. I let them have a little room there. Okay,
- 1:24:05Speaker 12: please conduct yourself properly. But you know what, I really
- 1:24:08Speaker 12: relied on my player's committee. You know, there were six
- 1:24:11Speaker 12: or seven guys that were the leaders of the team
- 1:24:13Speaker 12: who were who if someone stepped sideways a little bit,
- 1:24:19Speaker 12: they would pretty much handle that for me, or at
- 1:24:22Speaker 12: least I'd find out about it, you know. And so
- 1:24:25Speaker 12: but yeah, I thought about that. You're always a little
- 1:24:28Speaker 12: concerned they have some time. The Bay Area is a
- 1:24:30Speaker 12: fun place to be, you know. I don't know where
- 1:24:33Speaker 12: they're staying. You guys know what hotel they're in.
- 1:24:37Speaker 4: Sounds like they're I think they're staying uh over there
- 1:24:41Speaker 4: at the oh gosh, can't even think of the name.
- 1:24:45Speaker 5: Now.
- 1:24:46Speaker 4: Uh yeah, I think there's a fancy down and yeah, yeah, yeah,
- 1:24:49Speaker 4: they're saying it's Steph Curry's house.
- 1:24:51Speaker 12: Yeah no, but no, the Bay Area has there's a
- 1:24:54Speaker 12: lot of temptations there.
- 1:24:55Speaker 5: I grew up there.
- 1:24:56Speaker 12: But it's uh but so that's that's the thing that
- 1:24:59Speaker 12: you have to emphasize with the players because getting to
- 1:25:04Speaker 12: the super Bowl, you're not finished. You're not finished, and so.
- 1:25:10Speaker 5: Take care of it.
- 1:25:10Speaker 12: Let's take care of business and then we'll celebrate afterwards.
- 1:25:13Speaker 5: Mike Troy Aikman.
- 1:25:16Speaker 11: Kind of disclosed something that you don't hear a lot
- 1:25:19Speaker 11: of athletes say. And and there's a reason for it,
- 1:25:24Speaker 11: and it had to do with his first Super Bowl experience.
- 1:25:27Speaker 11: It happened to have been in the Rose Bowl playing
- 1:25:30Speaker 11: the Bills. Now that's his college stadium and what have you.
- 1:25:33Speaker 11: And and he's admitted that it took him an entire
- 1:25:37Speaker 11: quarter to stop hyperventilating, that there was a nerves hit
- 1:25:41Speaker 11: him when he came out of that tunnel and it
- 1:25:44Speaker 11: just hit him like a truck, and it took him
- 1:25:46Speaker 11: a quarter to get through it. Now he can disclose
- 1:25:50Speaker 11: that because he threw four touchdown passes and he was
- 1:25:52Speaker 11: the Super Bowl MVP and they won it. I doubt
- 1:25:54Speaker 11: he would have disclosed that had they lost.
- 1:25:58Speaker 9: It.
- 1:25:58Speaker 11: Is there had to have been a time somewhere where
- 1:26:01Speaker 11: you had maybe even just an inclination that one of
- 1:26:05Speaker 11: the one of your players he's like, okay, he's not
- 1:26:09Speaker 11: handling this well, almost like what like if you're climbing everest,
- 1:26:11Speaker 11: you're you know, you're watching for who's not handling the altitude? Well, like,
- 1:26:16Speaker 11: like at some point, did did that ever strike you?
- 1:26:19Speaker 9: Like?
- 1:26:19Speaker 11: Okay, I got to do something to kind of calm
- 1:26:22Speaker 11: this guy down that.
- 1:26:23Speaker 5: Do you remember that?
- 1:26:24Speaker 9: Yeah?
- 1:26:24Speaker 12: I absolutely do. And it was a you can get
- 1:26:28Speaker 12: all the quarterbacks I've coached you who you think I'd
- 1:26:31Speaker 12: have to calm down the most far? Okay, let's talk
- 1:26:34Speaker 12: Let's talk about right far for a second. Okay, he
- 1:26:37Speaker 12: in the beginning of that game, Okay, where he's he's
- 1:26:40Speaker 12: you know, he's he's like that anyway. And but then
- 1:26:42Speaker 12: he throws the touchdown past right Okay, he takes off
- 1:26:47Speaker 12: his helmet. He comes running by me on the side, yeah,
- 1:26:49Speaker 12: screaming out we're going crazy, comes over to the sidelines,
- 1:26:53Speaker 12: screaming on the I go, oh boy, oh boy, this
- 1:26:56Speaker 12: is the beginning of the game. I go over to
- 1:26:59Speaker 12: him and I say, I put my hand down. He's
- 1:27:01Speaker 12: looking at me, he goes, what I go, Okay, take
- 1:27:03Speaker 12: a deep breath, Okay, count to ten, All right, look
- 1:27:06Speaker 12: at me, look in my eyes, trying to you know,
- 1:27:11Speaker 12: oh she was, And then I almost said, looking into
- 1:27:14Speaker 12: my eyes and whack. I almost hit him on the
- 1:27:16Speaker 12: side of the helmet, but no, but he then I
- 1:27:19Speaker 12: then he kind of he did he kind of re entered,
- 1:27:23Speaker 12: you know.
- 1:27:23Speaker 5: But oh he was.
- 1:27:24Speaker 12: Excited and I'm you know, understandably.
- 1:27:28Speaker 11: But he threw a beautiful touch pass to Rising for
- 1:27:31Speaker 11: the touchdown.
- 1:27:32Speaker 5: I'm saying, is there anybody.
- 1:27:34Speaker 11: Where you say, well, like like maybe he's dropping passes
- 1:27:38Speaker 11: or a punt returner like he's you know, it looks
- 1:27:40Speaker 11: terrified or I don't know, like in that case far
- 1:27:43Speaker 11: even though he was excited, he was still performing.
- 1:27:46Speaker 12: Yeah, and it was an audible he called too.
- 1:27:48Speaker 5: It was, yeah, a fifty six razor, right.
- 1:27:51Speaker 12: I couldn't hit him very hard. I didn't hit him
- 1:27:53Speaker 12: very hard on the side of the head. I really didn't,
- 1:27:55Speaker 12: you know, but you you know what, No, but I
- 1:27:59Speaker 12: was No, I don't remember anybody like that, but I
- 1:28:03Speaker 12: probably because I was. I was in my own little cocoon.
- 1:28:07Speaker 12: I was in my own little world.
- 1:28:09Speaker 5: Are you ever nervous?
- 1:28:10Speaker 12: Always? I was always a little nervous.
- 1:28:12Speaker 5: You're nervous in a Super Bowl?
- 1:28:13Speaker 12: Excited maybe more excited.
- 1:28:15Speaker 11: But did you ever think there was a play where
- 1:28:17Speaker 11: you're like, man, I didn't think that one through very well.
- 1:28:20Speaker 11: We're punting because because you know, I'm just kind of
- 1:28:23Speaker 11: not in my into Mike groove yet.
- 1:28:24Speaker 12: Yeah, no, no, no, I never made a mistake like that.
- 1:28:29Speaker 12: I can't remember when.

- 1:29:52Speaker 4: one more segment on this special Super Bowl edition of
- 1:29:55Speaker 4: Monday Morning Quarterback and Coach. I want to pick up
- 1:29:58Speaker 4: a conversation that Bucky and I were having with Hugh
- 1:30:02Speaker 4: in regards to one of the really interesting matchups that's
- 1:30:06Speaker 4: going to take place on Sunday, and I'll just ask
- 1:30:09Speaker 4: you both, because I was getting ready to ask Hugh
- 1:30:11Speaker 4: this anyway, but I would just ask you both, and
- 1:30:13Speaker 4: I'll start with you, coach.
- 1:30:14Speaker 5: If you've got.
- 1:30:14Speaker 4: A splendid number one wide receiver, arguably the best in
- 1:30:19Speaker 4: the game in JSN, but he's already shown in his
- 1:30:22Speaker 4: short time with you he can play pretty much anywhere
- 1:30:25Speaker 4: on the field, including a pretty rich history in the slot.
- 1:30:29Speaker 4: And then you've got a New England Patriots cornerback, Christian Gonzalez,
- 1:30:33Speaker 4: who's one of the best in the game, but doesn't
- 1:30:36Speaker 4: travel all that much with wide receivers. Coach, would you
- 1:30:40Speaker 4: take your number one weapon and play him like in
- 1:30:45Speaker 4: the slot, move them all over the place to avoid Gonzales?
- 1:30:48Speaker 4: Or do you not allow a cornerback, no matter how
- 1:30:52Speaker 4: good he is, to take away from what you want
- 1:30:55Speaker 4: to do offensively.
- 1:30:56Speaker 12: No, I would start with if he's Gonzales is that
- 1:30:59Speaker 12: type of place, then I would try and move JSN
- 1:31:02Speaker 12: away from him at you know, and that's part of
- 1:31:05Speaker 12: their offense anyway, the Seahawks offense, So I'd flip it.
- 1:31:10Speaker 12: If I'm in New England. I'm not sure I would
- 1:31:13Speaker 12: line him up. Other teams have done that. Take your
- 1:31:16Speaker 12: best corner and but then it messages. It changes everything
- 1:31:20Speaker 12: in the defense, moving that one guy to cover their
- 1:31:23Speaker 12: best receiver. Okay, then you have to make a lot
- 1:31:26Speaker 12: of other changes on their defense. But they could choose
- 1:31:30Speaker 12: to do that. If they think JSN is that important
- 1:31:34Speaker 12: to how the Seahawks moved the football, they might do that.
- 1:31:38Speaker 12: But I would be surprised because they're playing pretty good defense,
- 1:31:42Speaker 12: and they're playing pretty good defense a certain way without
- 1:31:45Speaker 12: doing that.
- 1:31:46Speaker 11: Mike, They've got Gonzales just thirty eight snaps in the slot.
- 1:31:52Speaker 11: He's left corner two hundred snaps exactly and then right corner,
- 1:31:57Speaker 11: as it turns out, six hundred and twenty eight. So
- 1:32:01Speaker 11: he's so from our perspective offensively, he's on our left.
- 1:32:05Speaker 5: If we get to the right, hass.
- 1:32:07Speaker 11: And we put JSN as the X away right, there's
- 1:32:11Speaker 11: a good chance we're not getting him. We're getting Carlton
- 1:32:14Speaker 11: Davis and you know, and if they want to push
- 1:32:17Speaker 11: to the trips or what have you. It really is
- 1:32:21Speaker 11: it gets into those layers of like, hey, what hash
- 1:32:24Speaker 11: are we on, what formation we on and what have you?
- 1:32:26Speaker 5: When we want to start thinking about these matchups.
- 1:32:29Speaker 12: No, and then absolutely, And then you know, if you're
- 1:32:34Speaker 12: man's zone concepts factor into this as well. You know,
- 1:32:37Speaker 12: if you're moving him around and you're playing zone, that
- 1:32:40Speaker 12: might change some stuff for other people. And they have
- 1:32:43Speaker 12: to be so coordinated that way, and as a coach
- 1:32:45Speaker 12: you have to decide, you know, is this worth it
- 1:32:48Speaker 12: or can we play this young man? Be aware of
- 1:32:51Speaker 12: where he is and whoever is in that position opposite him,
- 1:32:55Speaker 12: make sure you touch him, make sure he bang him
- 1:32:58Speaker 12: to throw him off just a little bit. And it's
- 1:33:01Speaker 12: if it's not Gonzales it's somebody else. So you put
- 1:33:04Speaker 12: that challenge to the secondary and the to your defense.
- 1:33:07Speaker 4: I believe Hugh if he never goes to the slot
- 1:33:10Speaker 4: based on the numbers, and js N's amazing out of that.
- 1:33:15Speaker 4: I mean, how much time would you put JSN in
- 1:33:17Speaker 4: the slot just to avoid Christian Gonzales almost entirely.
- 1:33:20Speaker 11: Well, when when you put him in the slot, you say, Okay,
- 1:33:23Speaker 11: what are they doing if they're putting somebody really aggressive
- 1:33:26Speaker 11: that Mike says, if they're they're playing zone, they could
- 1:33:29Speaker 11: have a nickel or a linebacker that's out over the
- 1:33:33Speaker 11: top of him and forcing the redirect. You know, you know,
- 1:33:36Speaker 11: for example, against the Rams in the NFC Championship that
- 1:33:41Speaker 11: that played a JSN on the post route down down
- 1:33:45Speaker 11: the middle. If you look at the onset of that play,
- 1:33:49Speaker 11: they are jamming. They are jamming JSN and they are
- 1:33:54Speaker 11: denying free access. But when they motion shah Shaheed, they
- 1:33:58Speaker 11: snapped the ball at exactly the the time where the
- 1:34:01Speaker 11: the the Rams are bouncing that coverage out and when
- 1:34:04Speaker 11: the ball snapped at exactly that time, Mike, now JSN
- 1:34:08Speaker 11: has that free access and he can run that that
- 1:34:11Speaker 11: lean post. He leans to the corner, and then he's
- 1:34:13Speaker 11: then he divides the two safeties, and so that interest
- 1:34:18Speaker 11: causy of what formation do we start in? What's our motion?
- 1:34:23Speaker 11: And they went exactly do we snap the ball? That
- 1:34:26Speaker 11: can be the difference between Okay, now Jas isn't in
- 1:34:29Speaker 11: the slot, but he he right is to snap of
- 1:34:32Speaker 11: the ball. He can just get right into the secondary
- 1:34:34Speaker 11: and get up on that safety versus having to be
- 1:34:37Speaker 11: jammed or redirect his route and and take a which
- 1:34:41Speaker 11: what throws off the timing. That's what Mike's alluding to. Mike,
- 1:34:44Speaker 11: that's a part of when talk about how you call
- 1:34:47Speaker 11: play early on in the first series, first quarter. Uh,
- 1:34:51Speaker 11: with Jas in the slot, what are you what are
- 1:34:53Speaker 11: you looking for when you call that play?
- 1:34:56Speaker 12: I'm looking for the alignment certainly. But that's the chess
- 1:34:58Speaker 12: match that's makes football fun. You know, you talk about
- 1:35:03Speaker 12: emotion that makes the defense shift just a little bit,
- 1:35:06Speaker 12: and normally you're expecting a motion across, so you're expecting
- 1:35:09Speaker 12: a longer motion. They can shift, they can adjust on
- 1:35:12Speaker 12: a short motion. They have that shift that just allows
- 1:35:15Speaker 12: a release and as something as simple it's not simple,
- 1:35:19Speaker 12: but something as easy as releasing clean instead of getting
- 1:35:23Speaker 12: bumped and so that's the chess match. So in the
- 1:35:26Speaker 12: first fifteen of the game, my first fifteen, i'd have
- 1:35:29Speaker 12: those types of I want to see this play is
- 1:35:32Speaker 12: in there, to see how they were going to react
- 1:35:34Speaker 12: to this, because defenses are really good. But a lot
- 1:35:38Speaker 12: of times they they're taught a certain thing and then
- 1:35:40Speaker 12: they're going to do a certain thing. This is how
- 1:35:42Speaker 12: we've been taught all week. Let me see how you
- 1:35:45Speaker 12: do this. Then I'll adjust to that. I'll adjust to that.
- 1:35:48Speaker 12: Now if they adjust again, you adjust. So but that's
- 1:35:52Speaker 12: the fun of it.
- 1:35:53Speaker 5: It's like coaching is important, Bucky. Yeah, well, yeah, probably,
- 1:35:58Speaker 5: I think it's kind of a big deal. I mean, coach,
- 1:36:01Speaker 5: you talk about your first fifteen and then you make
- 1:36:03Speaker 5: adjustments off of that. I'm curious. You know, you get
- 1:36:06Speaker 5: two weeks to prepare and you look at people and
- 1:36:09Speaker 5: see things that they're set up for. Maybe it's double moves.
- 1:36:12Speaker 5: Maybe it's you're moving guys in motion to try to
- 1:36:15Speaker 5: stay away from this guy. How many tricks up your
- 1:36:18Speaker 5: sleeves do you create when it's uh, when you're getting
- 1:36:21Speaker 5: ready for a game like this.
- 1:36:23Speaker 12: Well, I think you have the time buck to do that,
- 1:36:25Speaker 12: and so, yeah, you have a handful. I wouldn't say
- 1:36:29Speaker 12: more than six, six to eight, you know, of otherwise
- 1:36:34Speaker 12: you've you've gotten to the super Bowl because you've done
- 1:36:39Speaker 12: these things very well and now the defense is gonna
- 1:36:42Speaker 12: But sometimes it's the correct defense for the play I called.
- 1:36:48Speaker 12: But I say, my guy's going to execute better than
- 1:36:50Speaker 12: your guy. And so a lot of offense is that,
- 1:36:54Speaker 12: you know, Hugh talks about all the time, excuse me,
- 1:36:56Speaker 12: about releases and getting angles and stuff. A receiver just
- 1:37:00Speaker 12: doesn't line up out there and just run. You know
- 1:37:02Speaker 12: he's he's working it. You know, you see some receivers
- 1:37:06Speaker 12: we had. I thought DK metcalf as an example, you know,
- 1:37:09Speaker 12: used his ability and speed and all that. But a
- 1:37:12Speaker 12: lot of times not maybe the subtleties of how you
- 1:37:15Speaker 12: set yourself up and how you can get a taken
- 1:37:19Speaker 12: advantage of the defense. And so yeah, I would say
- 1:37:22Speaker 12: I'd have a handful, but too many trick plays, and
- 1:37:26Speaker 12: I think then you've wasted a lot of practice time.
- 1:37:28Speaker 4: Really, how many fourth and four? I'm going to pass
- 1:37:32Speaker 4: up the field goal here place? Do you have your call?
- 1:37:37Speaker 9: Sure?
- 1:37:38Speaker 5: Coach?
- 1:37:38Speaker 12: Fourth and fourth?
- 1:37:39Speaker 5: Yeah?
- 1:37:40Speaker 12: Fourth and four and fourth and three and fourth and
- 1:37:42Speaker 12: two and yeah, oh well, yeah, you got a handful.
- 1:37:45Speaker 9: You know.
- 1:37:46Speaker 12: I was labeled it on my sign. I've told you
- 1:37:48Speaker 12: this before. I on my sheet it said to win
- 1:37:51Speaker 12: the game these plays both and so we practice those. Yeah,
- 1:37:57Speaker 12: we would.
