• 1:41
  Speaker 3: and Buck in the morning's. Good morning, sir, Good morning guys.
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: Quite a morning. How about that Quite a game? You
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: know I was thinking yesterday, well last evening, when I
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: was about ready to go to bed. You take the
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: two championship games we saw, they couldn't be more different.
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: You had snow, you had ten to seven, you had
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: quarterbacks play horrible, and then you had our game, beautiful
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: day in Seattle. Sun was shining, both quarterbacks were scoring
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: was up. That's my type of game, the ten to
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: seven game, and no in trouble with that. I'll hand
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: that to somebody else.
• 2:18
  Speaker 4: Really, well, let's tell us more about your thoughts about
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: the passing. You love the passing from both sides, the
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: artistry of it all, but just kind of amplify your
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: thoughts about what really impressed you in all that.
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: Well, clearly that's the first thing. Both quarterbacks were outstanding,
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: you know, and it was and they had to be.
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: They had to be because they're going against good defenses.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: Although I really have questions about the Rams secretary, I
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: really do, but give credit to the quarterbacks. They did
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: a great job. And then the receivers and Jay Mine. Yeah,
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: oh gee. It was just it was fun to watch.
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: If you were neutral and didn't care, didn't have skin
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: in the game with either team, you had to just
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: enjoy that football game and the passing part of it.
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: The numbers are startling. I mean, you don't you don't
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: see that very often, and we saw it yesterday.
• 3:27
  Speaker 5: When you're watching Sam Darno, I mean, there's been a
• 3:29
  Speaker 5: lot of criticism, and rightfully so to some degree, based
• 3:33
  Speaker 5: on how his career started. And yet the last couple
• 3:36
  Speaker 5: of years he's been pretty amazing for Minnesota and and
• 3:39
  Speaker 5: and then here this year with Seattle, and yet a
• 3:42
  Speaker 5: lot of people just have a hard time getting over
• 3:44
  Speaker 5: the turnover issue. Well yesterday was not only did he
• 3:47
  Speaker 5: not just just take care of the ball, he went
• 3:49
  Speaker 5: out and diced up the Rams secondary that you're talking
• 3:52
  Speaker 5: about with Hugh mentioned, there's multiple plays where maybe didn't
• 3:56
  Speaker 5: make the right decision, but he was so he wasn't perfect,
• 3:59
  Speaker 5: but he was good enough to kind of go tit
• 4:02
  Speaker 5: for tat with the with with the Rams in that situation. So,
• 4:06
  Speaker 5: I mean, just overarching, when you watch Sam Darnold, championship
• 4:09
  Speaker 5: caliber quarterback play is what you saw yesterday.
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: Absolutely, you know. I mean I I don't know if
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: and he would know this as well. I don't think
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: a quarterback is ever perfect. There's always going to be
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: a play here, a play there, or something you know
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: that that he gets a maybe a minus or a
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: zero grade on or something. But they came pretty close
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: both of them yesterday. And in Sam Sam's case, he
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: had to play. He had to be who he was
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: yesterday because the running game, which everyone had talked about,
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: you know, kind of how it's been so good the
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: last last few weeks of the season. They didn't have Charbonnay,
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: but you know, they still we're gonna have a good
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: running game. Well it was okay, but it wasn't. It
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: wasn't really there. They had to throw the ball and
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: throw it well, and uh, Sam, look at it. I've
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: been I've kind of liked him all season long, and
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: I haven't hidden that feeling, and so I was happy
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: for him. I mean, he he came through big for
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: the team yesterday and he had to. He had to
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: play that type of game to win the football game.
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: And just to clarify Bucky, you know, between the two
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: of them, they had seventy five dropbacks right and seventy
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: one pass attempts, four sacks between the two for both
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: Darnold and Stafford. I was only trying to say from
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: a quarterback perspective, as Mike said, you're you can have
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: three or four plays on the tape where you say, well, now,
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: going back, we should have thrown it to somebody different,
• 5:47
  Speaker 4: you know, three or four out of out of you know,
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: thirty five, thirty six, is that can still be great quarterbacking.
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: So my my point said that probably I did a
• 5:58
  Speaker 4: poor job of how I articulated that. But when I
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: was talking about what an amazing game Darnold had had
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: and he did. It was amazing. I was just trying
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: to say it still wasn't exactly perfect, and I probably
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: didn't say it in the right context. That said, let's
• 6:15
  Speaker 4: highlight this before we get off the quarterbacks because and
• 6:19
  Speaker 4: I want to get your thoughts on this as well, Hugh.
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: But that Stafford drive when they felt behind, what was it,
• 6:26
  Speaker 4: twenty four thirteen, and then he just comes back and
• 6:29
  Speaker 4: he throws three of the best throws you will ever
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: see in your life.
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: The forty yarder just over Josh.
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: Job to Parkinson, the twenty nine yarder just over Josh
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: Jobs to Adams, and then the two yard touchdown pass
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: in the corner against Woollen. I'm like, I'm like, can
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: you play the position? And then all of a sudden,
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: the very next possession, Sam to speak to his confidence
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: and the way he slung the ball all over the
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: yard all year long is just like, I don't care
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: what I just watched, I can do that too. And
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: then he just arches the team right back down the
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: field and got the eleven yard eleven point lead back. Coach,
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: I'll start with you just that little sequence of those
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: two I mean, there was four possessions in a role
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: like that. I mean, does it get any better than
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: that quarterback play? No, that was really that was really something.
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: And the Stafford that was you know, they had one, two, three,
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: four plays, four plays and they started on the twenty five.
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: That's that's moving the ball pretty fast. And beautiful throws,
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: different throws, beautiful throws, you know a.
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: Lot of them. When they see it on television. You
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: see how close the actual defender is and how where
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: that hand is and the ball's dropping in there and
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: there's a good cut. You go, man, that's something. You know,
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: I haven't played the position myself a long time ago.
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: You can't do that all the time. But they did it.
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: And then Sam just said, Okay, that's pretty good. He
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: did a nice job. Now watch me. Yeah. Boom boom,
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: boom boom. And so it just seemed the game went
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: that way, particularly in the second half.
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: You know, yeah, I think on that drive, Chuck, I
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: think if you're comparing the two on those particular occasions,
• 8:12
  Speaker 4: you know, Stafford had the more the higher degree of difficulty, right,
• 8:16
  Speaker 4: Like you mentioned that where he goes boot left, stops
• 8:19
  Speaker 4: and throws back a corner route to the tight end
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: over the outstretched fingers of job incredible. The go route
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: that you described the sequence well for on that particular drive,
• 8:32
  Speaker 4: you know there's a third and nine where Darnald he
• 8:35
  Speaker 4: ends up throwing in the flat low and you know
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: Cup made a great you know catch at his ankles.
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: But for that, you know you're gonna have to punt.
• 8:44
  Speaker 4: The touchdown ends up being he throws that choice route
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: to to Cup and you know there's some bodies in there.
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: There was a lot you know, he had to be anticipatory,
• 8:57
  Speaker 4: couldn't be laid on that, and so it was a
• 8:59
  Speaker 4: relatively short throw. But the read and processing all the
• 9:03
  Speaker 4: potential threats I think made it a higher degree of
• 9:06
  Speaker 4: difficulty than people would think as far as the throw.
• 9:09
  Speaker 4: But Cup, you know, makes the catch and goes strong
• 9:11
  Speaker 4: in the end zone without fumbling. So yeah, there was
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: an exchange there, Mike. Two touchdowns by Seattle, two touchdowns
• 9:18
  Speaker 4: by the Rams that third quarter. If you were feeling
• 9:21
  Speaker 4: like there's not enough scoring to be called a great game,
• 9:25
  Speaker 4: that third quarter ramped it up and gave you those
• 9:28
  Speaker 4: four touchdowns. And and then now it's starting to vault
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: into just like an instant classic type game, not even
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: from a Seattle perspective. But from an NFL perspective, no,
• 9:37
  Speaker 4: they did. Both teams just exploded. You know, it was
• 9:40
  Speaker 4: really something. It's fun to.
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: Watch Mike Omrian with us here Monday morning quarterback session.
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: What did you think of Cooper Cup fighting for that
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: yard there at the end?
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: I thought, you know, he doesn't I don't think he
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: gets enough credit, you know. I mean, he hasn't caught
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: azillion balls this year. You know, everyone talks about in
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: Jigma and they should, you know, he's remarkable. But I
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: think Cup has been important to the football team in
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: a lot of different ways, not only catching balls that
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: when they really need it, and and maybe there's four
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: guys around in Jigma, so they have to he has
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: to go to another another person. Uh, But I think
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: in leadership he blocks. There was a couple of plays
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: yesterday he was the lead blocker and just his block
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: allowed the ball carrier or the other receiver to get
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: a first down. And so he's a valuable guy on
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: the football team, he really is. And I'm uh. And
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: then he was going against his old team that he
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: was the MVP of the league, you know when he
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: when he played for the Rams, and uh, that's that's
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: always a little added thing. You know, when I coached
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: against teams I formerly coached four, there's always a little
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: bit of stuff there, you know, and so I'm sure
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: he was feeling the same thing.
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: Kua calls him the all father Odin that's what he
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: calls him. And then Stafford after the game there was
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: there's video of him and he wouldn't leave the field
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: until he found Cooper. He's like asking everybody, where's ten.
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: He's like trying to get and then for him to
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: make sure I'm not leaving the field until I congratulate.
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: That shows you something.
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: Oh no, that's great. And that's that doesn't get talked
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: about too much in sports anymore. It doesn't seem like
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: it to me, But that always was a big deal
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: to me. You know that you go around, you shake
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: the other coach's hand after a tough loss, you say
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: whatever you do, you're you're off the field, you go
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: to some place and you have a beer together. Now
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: you're battling like crazy. Okay, but the sportsmanship, you know,
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: now I'm old, I know that I know that.
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: You would have given Ben Johnson a hip toss right
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: there on the fifty yard line, I think, But I
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: wish when I hear stories like that, I like it.
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, me too, Mike.
• 12:02
  Speaker 4: Let's say you talked about the Cup play on the
• 12:05
  Speaker 4: third and seven, you know, on that last drive, and
• 12:09
  Speaker 4: I think it might be worth just diving a little
• 12:11
  Speaker 4: bit into that.
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 12:13
  Speaker 4: The play mic was flanker drive, which I assume you've
• 12:16
  Speaker 4: called well over a thousand times and you've installed it.
• 12:22
  Speaker 4: And and yet talk about like when when you talk
• 12:26
  Speaker 4: about the tight ends role, you know, before he runs
• 12:29
  Speaker 4: his basic, you know he's gonna have an outside release
• 12:31
  Speaker 4: and man to try and get that pick right. But
• 12:33
  Speaker 4: then when you have the receiver in the slot, as
• 12:36
  Speaker 4: Injigba was, you know, you still want to try and
• 12:39
  Speaker 4: get that rub. The Seahawks didn't quite get the rub
• 12:41
  Speaker 4: they wanted, so there was tighter coverage on Cup when
• 12:44
  Speaker 4: he ran that drive route.
• 12:46
  Speaker 6: Uh.
• 12:47
  Speaker 4: And and Jigba was running the basic, guys, Chuck and Puck,
• 12:50
  Speaker 4: A basic is is you know, twelve to fourteen.
• 12:53
  Speaker 7: Uh.
• 12:55
  Speaker 4: You know the depth can vary, but it's an in route.
• 12:58
  Speaker 4: But it's a compliment. You know that that that works
• 13:01
  Speaker 4: well in zone and man. But but the details there
• 13:05
  Speaker 4: with in Jigba running having an inside release instead of
• 13:09
  Speaker 4: the outside release to to get the pick. Didn't get
• 13:14
  Speaker 4: everything they want about out of that play. Just talk
• 13:16
  Speaker 4: about how you install that play.
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: Well, it seems to me if they uh, yes, you install,
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: whoever has the basic is going to release outside okay,
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: and and and the crosser, the drive route is going
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: to be using that. Come underneath that and use that
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: uh and and if if he's open, you hit him,
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: he's number one, then the crossers too, and so on.
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: It's that's the progression. So if I had to put
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: it on paper, the best way to do that would
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: we have Cup be the crosser and then Jig would
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: be the drive route.
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: But they did it that way, and I think it
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: just tells me something about what they feel about Cup
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: and and and how he does things and they can
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: trust him. And you get a receiver, you know what
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: he's gonna you know, he's gonna turn, you know, he's
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: gonna release and uh and he's gonna run it the
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: way you've taught it. And I think that's very very important. Coach.
• 14:14
  Speaker 5: You mentioned a little bit earlier about how Sam Darnold
• 14:17
  Speaker 5: had to go out there and throw the ball the
• 14:18
  Speaker 5: way that he did in order to win that ballgame,
• 14:20
  Speaker 5: and and I and I understand understand that and degree
• 14:24
  Speaker 5: when ken Walker was running early, I mean the first possession,
• 14:27
  Speaker 5: I think there was a run before they got down
• 14:29
  Speaker 5: there and then it was bang bang bang three in
• 14:31
  Speaker 5: a row that punched in that first touchdown. He was
• 14:33
  Speaker 5: running hard, he was running fairly well. And yet there
• 14:37
  Speaker 5: was some possessions where they had like that fumbled snap
• 14:40
  Speaker 5: followed by like a sack.
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: So now it was sudden your way behind the change,
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: you have to pass.
• 14:44
  Speaker 5: Uh did you like what you saw out of him
• 14:46
  Speaker 5: running when you didn't have Zach Charbonay, So when they
• 14:49
  Speaker 5: would bring George Hallani in, he wasn't running as effectively
• 14:53
  Speaker 5: even dropped a pass I know out of the backfield
• 14:54
  Speaker 5: that Charboney has been really good at catching. And so
• 14:57
  Speaker 5: it felt like there you were missing something and having
• 15:00
  Speaker 5: your your second running back out there. But when he
• 15:04
  Speaker 5: was running the ball, did it was it effective enough
• 15:06
  Speaker 5: at least to you know, uh, you know playoff of
• 15:10
  Speaker 5: with the with the passing game.
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: I think so.
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: I think early in the game, I'm going, boy, he's
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: he's he's raring to go. I mean he saw him
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: start and hop and he won one play. I think
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: it was early.
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: The linebacker was unblocked in the hole, you know the
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: play I'm talking about, and he left him. His shoes
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: are still out on the field. I mean, he's like
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: wha in a very And to Hughes point last week
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: he talked about where they lined him up. I'm watching
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: that and I'm he is eight yards at least lined
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: up deep. And I think it's because so he can
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: do that kind so he can see and use that
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: hop and movement stuff that he's so good at effectively.
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: And uh no, I I was a little I would question,
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: I would you know? The other guy was Haleni? Yeah, yep, Walker.
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: They took him out of the game and he you know,
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: and I don't know if he gets tired.
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: I don't know. There was a drive where they started
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: with Halani on the field and.
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: Like what is happening?
• 16:15
  Speaker 6: Why?
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah? I know, And so I don't know if he
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: gets nicked up or you know, he gets tired. I
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: don't know, but I would like to the way he started.
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: I'm going, Okayn, he's gonna be over one hundred and
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: and and it's really going to help this team today.
• 16:32
  Speaker 4: But you know, Mike, with his contributions, you know, he
• 16:36
  Speaker 4: ended up at one hundred and nine yards from scrimmage,
• 16:39
  Speaker 4: and and he had four catches for forty nine yards.
• 16:43
  Speaker 4: All four of his catches were ten yards or more.
• 16:45
  Speaker 4: He had two screen passes, but on a third and
• 16:50
  Speaker 4: ten they ran him on an out route and he
• 16:55
  Speaker 4: looked like a wide receiver on that, you know, kind
• 16:58
  Speaker 4: of that Omaha route, and he which is it and
• 17:01
  Speaker 4: has the presence to just bear to get the first down.
• 17:05
  Speaker 4: So that was very pivotal in the second half, right,
• 17:09
  Speaker 4: and then in the last drive they throw him the
• 17:12
  Speaker 4: ball in the flat. Now they happen to have an
• 17:14
  Speaker 4: end dropping was it was? I think Brian Young and
• 17:19
  Speaker 4: he made a guy missed, then made the linebacker miss,
• 17:21
  Speaker 4: and made a safety miss, made three guys miss and
• 17:24
  Speaker 4: gets a fifteen yarder. So his contributions in the first
• 17:28
  Speaker 4: half as a runner, but then in the second half
• 17:31
  Speaker 4: some really big plays as a receiver. Again one hundred
• 17:35
  Speaker 4: nine yards from from scrimmage. What about him and his
• 17:40
  Speaker 4: contributions in that area.
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: Well, I think, yeah, I think he's he's a talented back,
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: and he's he can catch the ball. Not every running
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: back can run those types of routes, and you have
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: you really confident that's gonna happen. But he can do that.
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: So but again, I don't know why. I don't know
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: why he's not in there more. Maybe it's the type
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: of everyone has. Seems like it has two backs now,
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: every team has two backs, and we've talked about it before.
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: I've talked about it before. You instead of you got
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: the guy, let him play. He's a great player. Keep
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: him in there. You know. You already mentioned how good
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: he is catching the ball, you know, and he can
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: do those things. And he's hard to tackle, you know,
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: if you don't wrap him up. He's even when he's
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: hit and there's a group around him, it seems like
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: he squirts through for three more yards. I mean, he's
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: really talented back. So, uh, I'm hoping now his contract
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: is this contract up this year? Yes, okay, that'll be
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: an interesting thing to watch.
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I've read a yard after contact, but he's got
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: to legally NFL and yards after eight players at the
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: same time or contact.
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: Again, I don't know what it is.
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: He squeezes out and gets like two or three.
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: More yards, you know, But then we get of course,
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: I don't. We we shouldn't on a victory day like today.
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: We shouldn't talk about the officials, but we're going to.
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: I think that when eight guys are holding the how
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: many times you see eight guys, here comes the offensive
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: line and pushing it. There's another eight guys and they don't.
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: They used to stop forward progress. The whistle used to
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: stop it. Yeah, now they just it's rugby until the
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: guy goes down, everyone jumps on him. Whistle. You know,
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: I don't get it, but that's another that's another story.
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, all right, we got more with the coach
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: and Hugh. Of course, we got to talk about the
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: Woolen situation with the coach, get his thoughts on it.
• 19:37
  Speaker 3: And we still haven't really talked about Nicki Minoori's impact
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: on this game. So I want to make sure we
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: get to that in our next segment. It's Sports Radio
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: ninety three point three KJRFM.
• 19:47
  Speaker 6: Ten seconds to go, rams up for thirty down by
• 19:51
  Speaker 6: four shut gun snaff to Stafford shuts them a pocket
• 19:55
  Speaker 6: plenty of time, winds up close to the nearest sideline,
• 19:58
  Speaker 6: caught fifty yard lighting out about just cool. The clock
• 20:02
  Speaker 6: at one oh. The key the clock going, that's over,
• 20:06
  Speaker 6: that's over. Seattle is one the Seahawks are going to
• 20:12
  Speaker 6: the super Bowl.
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: Hey, let's say you can't make it to the Super Bowl,
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: but you don't want to just watch it at home. Man,
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: casino life, that's good for a Super Bowl viewing, especially
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: if you got a little bit of the penchant to
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: lay a couple of dollars down. How about edend to
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: talalap Resort Casino. They got the DraftKings sports book over there.
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: You could also go to quil Ceda Creek Casino. Bucky,
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: there are worse ways to soak in the Super Bowl.
• 20:40
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, not everybody's going to be able to make
• 20:42
  Speaker 5: the trip down to Santa Clair and watch the Seahawks
• 20:45
  Speaker 5: probably win the Super Bowl in the forty nine Ers Stadium.
• 20:47
  Speaker 5: So you probably want to still watch it with your friends, right,
• 20:51
  Speaker 5: your your fellow twelves, and you're at the other and
• 20:54
  Speaker 5: you could stay.
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: At the hotel. Their hotel's amazing.
• 20:57
  Speaker 5: And I'm not one that gambles a ton, but I
• 21:00
  Speaker 5: would still if I get there and go watch on
• 21:02
  Speaker 5: the big screen, I probably would be lured over to
• 21:04
  Speaker 5: one of those kiosks to put a couple of ducats down.
• 21:06
  Speaker 3: Get your stupid on, Yeah, yeah, get a little get
• 21:10
  Speaker 3: a little.
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: Crazy money at it.
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 21:15
  Speaker 3: It is Monday morning. Quarterback Chuck Buck, Ashley, coach, and
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: Hugh with you here this morning as we recap last
• 21:23
  Speaker 3: night's NFC Conference Championship victory. Uh. The Seahawks are heading
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: to the Super Bowl.
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: All right, which.
• 21:29
  Speaker 3: Guy would you have not allowed to ride back with
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: the team on the bus? Xavier Smith for fumbling the
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: punt for the Rams or Reek Wooln for taunting the
• 21:40
  Speaker 3: sidelines and giving the Rams new life.
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: Okay, let me think, let me, let me take let
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: me take a breath. Here I was when when the
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: young man fumbled the punt. I think they showed, they showed,
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: uh McVeigh on the on the sideline. He handled it
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: a lot better than I did. I would Achie. Would
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: you know what a turnover? What I call change?
• 22:08
  Speaker 3: And huge?
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: Oh huge? But okay, that's a physical area trip he
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: fell you. Okay, what Woolan did is to me inexcusable.
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: It's inexcusable. You know, he makes a play and then
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: all of a sudden, But I'm a little bit against
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: a lot of celebration that I see on the field
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: now anyway, So he's going to celebrate, but he's going
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: to just taunt the Rams sideline. You saw he not
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: one guy, He walked down the sideline, talked to a
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: lot of people, including the quarterback.
• 22:42
  Speaker 3: I think the head coach too.
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the head coach, you know, and so uh you
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: know he that was a horrible penalty and those are
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: things that can't happen. And you talk to the team
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: about that not you know in your statements you can't,
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: we're not going to do this. And then they did it,
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: and it cost him, cost them, cost them, and so
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: had they not won the football game, he's lucky. I'm trying.
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: I'm trying to figure out what would happen because my
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: initial reaction when I saw it, I'm going, Okay, you're
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: not on the like you your point, you're not on
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: the figure out and you figure out a way to
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: get home. You're not on the plane, you're not on
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: the bus.
• 23:25
  Speaker 4: Mike, I agree with every single word you said, because
• 23:29
  Speaker 4: you're describing our reaction to Wooln. I don't think there's
• 23:33
  Speaker 4: any controversy. I think a thousand out of thousand people
• 23:35
  Speaker 4: believe that. Separate from that, there's the officials role in
• 23:40
  Speaker 4: that moment in a high stakes game. There was not
• 23:46
  Speaker 4: a punch thrown. And I would say the official had
• 23:50
  Speaker 4: essentially two options. He could watch now he said he
• 23:54
  Speaker 4: kind of had a little tiny pat on the back.
• 23:56
  Speaker 4: I'm not I'm not disputing that he didn't say something
• 23:59
  Speaker 4: to Woolen, but he could have watched, which he chose
• 24:03
  Speaker 4: to do, or he could physically jog over, get in,
• 24:09
  Speaker 4: get chest to chess with Woolen, tell him you don't
• 24:12
  Speaker 4: walk away. I'm gonna drop a flag and physically walk
• 24:16
  Speaker 4: him away from the situation. And we we that happens
• 24:22
  Speaker 4: hundreds thousands of times that we've seen, and so many
• 24:25
  Speaker 4: penalties are averted because officials choose to get involved in
• 24:30
  Speaker 4: that way. In the game against the Houston Texans with
• 24:34
  Speaker 4: Jackson Smith and Jigba was over by the Texan bench
• 24:38
  Speaker 4: and it looked like it was gonna be a flare
• 24:40
  Speaker 4: up whatever had happened. And it's like, look like Jasn's
• 24:43
  Speaker 4: is gonna be in the center of a mob and
• 24:46
  Speaker 4: somehow he ends up on all things the Houston bench.
• 24:49
  Speaker 4: There was an official the side judge came running over
• 24:52
  Speaker 4: and literally physically put himself right over the top of
• 24:56
  Speaker 4: JSN Detroit and avert the situation. I think that official
• 25:01
  Speaker 4: could have and should have done more in that situation
• 25:05
  Speaker 4: super Bowl on the line to physically get involved and
• 25:08
  Speaker 4: walk Woolen away, and that that does nothing to detract
• 25:13
  Speaker 4: from the uh, the idiocy that was Reek Woolen and
• 25:18
  Speaker 4: his decisions. I just think there could have been better
• 25:21
  Speaker 4: officiating in that situation.
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: Well, I think it seemed to me that the official
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: said something. You know, and then if the player ignores
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: you completely, if you're the official that ignores you, goes
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: takes it a step farther. I guess he could do
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: what you suggested, grab him and move him out of there,
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: which isn't you know, I'm not sure that's his job.
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: His job is to calm things down, and that should
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: be enough. If the official talks to you, get out
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: of here, that should be enough. If it had been switched,
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: if a RAMS guy had come over to the forty
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: nine or to the seaoff bench. You know, I think
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: our emotions because of what who had happened to you
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: might look at it a little different. I'm just saying
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: you might look at it a little differently.
• 26:10
  Speaker 4: I'm gonna tell you I wouldn't because I would. I
• 26:12
  Speaker 4: would look at it and say, with the Super Bowl
• 26:15
  Speaker 4: on the line, I would want an official doing everything
• 26:18
  Speaker 4: he could and and I think the appropriate action is yeah.
• 26:22
  Speaker 4: I mean, I know, back before I've seen the video,
• 26:25
  Speaker 4: I'm sure he said a stop that I have no
• 26:28
  Speaker 4: doubt that he said stop, that he could have done more.
• 26:31
  Speaker 4: And if an official would have run up to a
• 26:33
  Speaker 4: guy if there was somebody taunting, you know, if if
• 26:40
  Speaker 4: let's say that Quinton Lake was taunting the Seahawks and
• 26:43
  Speaker 4: I saw an official run over getting Quinton Lake's face
• 26:48
  Speaker 4: and march him back over to the the forty nine
• 26:51
  Speaker 4: or sideline, and the Seahawks were at fourth and twelve,
• 26:54
  Speaker 4: and excuse me. If yeah, the Seahawks were at fourth
• 26:58
  Speaker 4: and twelve and they had to punt, I would say,
• 27:01
  Speaker 4: that's that's normal officiating. I've seen that thousands of times
• 27:05
  Speaker 4: officials physically get involved to prevent a situation and not
• 27:09
  Speaker 4: bail out a team.
• 27:10
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 27:11
  Speaker 4: I obviously I respect your opinion, but I think that
• 27:16
  Speaker 4: the official could have done more.
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: I think you know, you and I are good friends,
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: but I also think you don't like officials, you know,
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: and I.
• 27:26
  Speaker 3: Don't think you like officials. I'll say you this, though,
• 27:29
  Speaker 3: I think this is what we can all agree on.
• 27:31
  Speaker 3: Maybe not, but I love that Emon Worry got in
• 27:34
  Speaker 3: his grill though and Woolen's grill. That's a rookie going
• 27:37
  Speaker 3: over there and saying saying grow up. And I'm sure
• 27:41
  Speaker 3: that's not exactly what he said. I do want to
• 27:43
  Speaker 3: take some time. I want to talk about Emon Worri.
• 27:46
  Speaker 5: Hugh.
• 27:46
  Speaker 3: Actually, I'll start with you on this and then get
• 27:49
  Speaker 3: coaches thoughts. But that end of the first half where
• 27:54
  Speaker 3: the Rams are thinking about, like, we can't give them
• 27:57
  Speaker 3: the ball back. They got the ball to start the
• 27:59
  Speaker 3: second half. We might not get points here, but we're
• 28:02
  Speaker 3: gonna keep them from getting more points before the halftime
• 28:04
  Speaker 3: so they don't have the make it take it situation.
• 28:07
  Speaker 3: And Emon Warri just took over that entire Rams possession
• 28:12
  Speaker 3: like he just you know, we're gonna go three and out.
• 28:15
  Speaker 3: Courtesy of Nick Emon Warri and the Seahawks ended up
• 28:18
  Speaker 3: getting the ball back, scoring a touchdown. I mean not
• 28:21
  Speaker 3: just three, but a touchdown to take the lead into halftime.
• 28:25
  Speaker 3: I wanted to get your thoughts here. We didn't have
• 28:26
  Speaker 3: time in the last hour on Emon Worri his game,
• 28:30
  Speaker 3: but particularly that sequence.
• 28:32
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and the Rams were up thirteen to ten in
• 28:35
  Speaker 4: that juncture and Mike. The second and five, the Seahawks
• 28:39
  Speaker 4: call cover one, which guys is manned a man, and
• 28:43
  Speaker 4: they've got Emon worriy on Poka Nikula in the slot.
• 28:48
  Speaker 4: That's how they feel about and Nicula. They ran an
• 28:51
  Speaker 4: out takeoff combinations slot receivers running the four or five
• 28:56
  Speaker 4: yard out, and Emon Worry just he planned it himself
• 29:00
  Speaker 4: and then with his acceleration drove on the ball his length,
• 29:03
  Speaker 4: got a pass breakup. And then on the next one
• 29:06
  Speaker 4: on the third and five, the Rams are in trips
• 29:09
  Speaker 4: left to Stafford left. The Seahawks roll the cover to
• 29:13
  Speaker 4: zone to the trips and they they go solo on
• 29:18
  Speaker 4: the backside. So you've got Davante Adams on a go
• 29:23
  Speaker 4: route in the same manner that Sam Darnold threw the
• 29:25
  Speaker 4: go route to Shied in the first drive. Similar type
• 29:30
  Speaker 4: of thing. I would not have if I'm a RAM
• 29:32
  Speaker 4: fan or a RAM coach, would have been upset had
• 29:36
  Speaker 4: had Stafford thrown the go route against Josh Joe.
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: But what Emon Worry was.
• 29:41
  Speaker 4: Doing on that play, He had solo Mann a man
• 29:44
  Speaker 4: on the running back. They asked even Worry to mug
• 29:48
  Speaker 4: up in the a gap, threaten the blitz, then pop
• 29:51
  Speaker 4: out and again they were rolling the zone pushing zone
• 29:54
  Speaker 4: to the trips solo meaning manned man on the backside.
• 29:58
  Speaker 4: Emon Worry had to uh. He had to first guard
• 30:01
  Speaker 4: the inbreaking route. He's always got to be more concerned
• 30:05
  Speaker 4: about the inbreaking route. The trips combination was Mike Wistick,
• 30:10
  Speaker 4: so so Ernest Jones was pushing to the tight end
• 30:14
  Speaker 4: a way away from that. That is a lot of space.
• 30:16
  Speaker 4: Emon Worry has to cover man and man on the
• 30:18
  Speaker 4: running back. He has to first guard inside out the
• 30:20
  Speaker 4: Texas route Mike. But it was a choice route. The
• 30:24
  Speaker 4: running back can go in or out. He chose to
• 30:26
  Speaker 4: break out because Emon Worry denied him the inside and
• 30:30
  Speaker 4: then Emon Worry had the athleticism to burst on the ball,
• 30:33
  Speaker 4: uses link and get a second straight pass breakup and
• 30:37
  Speaker 4: force a punt. Just an incredible series by Nick emn
• 30:40
  Speaker 4: Worriy Mike in that time of the game.
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: Well, John Schneyer gets a lot and they get a
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: lot of credit for drafting him, and and now he's
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: been such a vital part of their defense and improvement
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: on the defense all season long. And he's young and
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: he is but he's special and so they hit on
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: that one, and he's gonna he's gonna be a leader
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: of that defense for a long time.
• 31:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah, And that's that whole sequence, like, uh, it looks
• 31:06
  Speaker 3: like they're gonna score points. He kept them from scoring points.
• 31:09
  Speaker 3: You scored points, then you got the ball in the
• 31:11
  Speaker 3: second half. It might have been the most important stretch
• 31:14
  Speaker 3: of the entire game.
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: Sure, and you look at how many yards the staffed
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: through four, but that that they didn't get it right then, Yeah,
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: and it was very, very timely because then they came
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: back and and scored. Yeah. After that, yep, yep.
• 31:28
  Speaker 3: Uh, Well, we got Mike Homer, we got Hugh Millan,
• 31:30
  Speaker 3: we got more time. Our final segment will go around
• 31:33
  Speaker 3: the room, ask one last thing on Sports Radio ninety
• 31:35
  Speaker 3: three point three kJ r F.
• 31:36

  Speaker 3: Final segment. So much to discuss so many good things
• 32:03
  Speaker 3: to break down, but we only got time for one
• 32:06
  Speaker 3: last thing for coach.
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: We go around the room, bucket, get as far well.
• 32:09
  Speaker 5: Super Bowl will be here before we know. We've got
• 32:11
  Speaker 5: a couple weeks to break it down. But just real quick.
• 32:13
  Speaker 5: I mean this defense. We've watched this defense and it's spectacular.
• 32:17
  Speaker 5: But the fact that they give given up over one
• 32:20
  Speaker 5: thousand yards to the Rams in the last two games
• 32:22
  Speaker 5: is concerning. But would you just chalk that up to, well,
• 32:25
  Speaker 5: that's Matt Stafford and Drake May is not Matt Stafford
• 32:28
  Speaker 5: just yet, and they don't have the weapons, they don't
• 32:30
  Speaker 5: have Puka Nakua over there for the Patriots and what not.
• 32:34
  Speaker 5: Would you just chalk it up as that's a really
• 32:37
  Speaker 5: good team.
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: We will get the win.
• 32:39
  Speaker 5: I don't care how many yards we give up or
• 32:41
  Speaker 5: is there oh boy, we're given some film to the
• 32:44
  Speaker 5: Patriots of ways in which maybe our defense is susceptible
• 32:47
  Speaker 5: to certain things.
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think they I think they have to be careful.
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: I think they're going to go into the game favorite,
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: the favorite. Yeah, they have to be careful of not
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: underestimating New England. You know my team did that the
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: second Super Bowl. We went to right in Green Bay
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: with and we played Denver, you know, and I couldn't
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: get the guys to really believe Denver. I think upset
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: some people to get there, and then we lost the game.
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: And boy, so Mike's got that challenge, I think, among
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: other things. But they are not the Rams. They don't
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: have the same passing game, they don't have the same people.
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: The Rams are good. And then I thought the winner
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: of the game yesterday would win the Super Bowl. That's
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: what I was thinking. But you have some challenges ahead.
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: He's going to make sure his team knows that New
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: England can come in, can come to San Francisco and
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: put their best foot forward and play well.
• 33:54
  Speaker 3: Did Kubiak out coach McDonald for one? I mean not
• 33:57
  Speaker 3: the I just think so highly of Mike mc donald,
• 34:00
  Speaker 3: But did Kobiak? Does he get more credit than coach
• 34:03
  Speaker 3: McDonald here for this one?
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: I think I think the offensive output one to day. Yeah, yeah,
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: you know, there are challenges there, but I think the
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: Rams offer challenges for everybody. And uh, but they'll bounce back.
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: I mean they're defensive and and they're not going against
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: the same offensive team. No, not at all all. Right here.
• 34:25
  Speaker 2: What do you got for coach? Is it okay?
• 34:28
  Speaker 4: If I do a little brief one and then and
• 34:30
  Speaker 4: and then a second one?
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: Do I have time for that?
• 34:33
  Speaker 4: Uh?
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: We should okay?
• 34:35
  Speaker 4: So real quick? The second down Mike that preceded the
• 34:40
  Speaker 4: seaatt goal line stand in the fourth quarter, the third
• 34:43
  Speaker 4: and fourth down with four to go on the second down,
• 34:46
  Speaker 4: tyreeks Knight who came in and had gotten bench for uh
• 34:50
  Speaker 4: for Drake Thomas, he knife see in on an inside
• 34:53
  Speaker 4: zone and shoots the gap and stops the back for
• 34:58
  Speaker 4: a zero yard gain. So maybe talk about the you
• 35:02
  Speaker 4: know what, how you highlight that to your team, about
• 35:06
  Speaker 4: it being a total team effort.
• 35:07
  Speaker 3: And then the other part I guess the two part here.
• 35:10
  Speaker 4: Leonard Williams said about about uh, Sam Donald, he said
• 35:18
  Speaker 4: he saved us. What do you think what Sam Donald did?
• 35:23
  Speaker 4: We kind of talked about Mike McDonald said that, well,
• 35:25
  Speaker 4: he shut up a lot of the critics. But inside
• 35:28
  Speaker 4: that building, how Donald may have been perceived. They probably
• 35:33
  Speaker 4: his teammates, you know, hurt, well he can't win the
• 35:35
  Speaker 4: big one. Well, now his teammates know he won the
• 35:39
  Speaker 4: big And what about the coaching staff, how how do
• 35:43
  Speaker 4: they maybe look at him different, not just going for
• 35:46
  Speaker 4: the super Bowl, but for next year and what have you?
• 35:48
  Speaker 4: What what did Sam Donald do yesterday for everybody inside
• 35:52
  Speaker 4: that building in written.
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: Well, first of all, to your quick one, I think
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: the message to the team is next man and where
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: a team, everybody contributes. Everybody contributes. And so he had
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: a young guy who's been benched for another guy. Now
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: he gets in and he makes a very significant play.
• 36:10
  Speaker 2: So that's that's a that's a good coaching point and
• 36:14
  Speaker 2: a good thing you can mention to the football team
• 36:16
  Speaker 2: about Donald. Uh Hugh. I don't think his teammates know
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: who he is. They've known it all along. And so
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: when Leonard Williams says something or someone says something about
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: Donald to me, to me, it's a nice thing. It's
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: it's a shows teamwork and camaraderie. But it's it's almost
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: unnecessary to me. And now it might quiet some of
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: the critics. But Sam didn't turn the ball over yesterday.
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: He threw for a three over three hundred yards, three touchdowns.
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: He helped him win the game. And so when Leonard
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: says he saved us, that's a nice thing to say,
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: because the defense wasn't up to stuff yesterday. Uh, And
• 36:55
  Speaker 2: in many respects, Sam did save him. But I like
• 36:59
  Speaker 2: the fact that he said it because you got a
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: leader on defense talking about the quarterback. That's always healthy.
• 37:04
  Speaker 2: I really like this team, really good. That's a fun team.
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: I like them, I like the I like the cut
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: of their jib. Let me let me close with my
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: last one for you. College football now plays its most
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: important games, uh, in climate controlled conditions. There's been a
• 37:24
  Speaker 2: little bit of a groundswell of why is the NFL
• 37:28
  Speaker 2: playing its most important games?
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: Uh?
• 37:31
  Speaker 3: In the elements? You know, we're playing in January, so
• 37:36
  Speaker 3: we play the super Bowl. We want to make sure
• 37:38
  Speaker 3: there are no snow or ice or sleet in the
• 37:40
  Speaker 3: super Bowl. Well, the conference championship games are nearly as big.
• 37:44
  Speaker 3: That's what you got to win to get to the
• 37:46
  Speaker 3: super Bowl. Why are we allowing them to be so
• 37:49
  Speaker 3: affected by whether we should play on neutral site dome
• 37:53
  Speaker 3: fields the conference championship games?
• 37:56
  Speaker 2: What do you think of that? I think it's a
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: good idea. I think it's a great idea. You know, now,
• 38:01
  Speaker 2: it wouldn't I get into those discussions when I was
• 38:06
  Speaker 2: on the competition to many those things had come up,
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: Things like that and the owners usually have to make
• 38:11
  Speaker 2: you're going to vote on it and to get all
• 38:15
  Speaker 2: the owners if you're the team when that wins your
• 38:20
  Speaker 2: division and wins and you go to the game, you want.
• 38:23
  Speaker 2: You want the game at your place. You've earned that,
• 38:28
  Speaker 2: That's what they say. And so it makes sense to
• 38:32
  Speaker 2: me because you wouldn't have the New England game, or
• 38:36
  Speaker 2: in the en Denver in crazy snow and crazy weather,
• 38:40
  Speaker 2: or you go, say green Bay. When we played Carolina
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: one year for the championship in green Bay, they had
• 38:48
  Speaker 2: to put the field in in a week prior to
• 38:51
  Speaker 2: the game because we had wiped it out in the
• 38:53
  Speaker 2: San Francisco playoff game the week before, and it was
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: also about eight degrees and so, but you play the game,
• 39:01
  Speaker 2: there's pride there, your fans love it. I don't think
• 39:04
  Speaker 2: it'll ever happen, but it makes some sense, particularly cold
• 39:08
  Speaker 2: weather games.
• 39:09
  Speaker 3: Sounds like an offensive guy to me talking yeah, yeah,
• 39:13
  Speaker 3: I think, or.
• 39:16
  Speaker 2: No, are you a good point? Or you can sit
• 39:19
  Speaker 2: there and have your sandwich and stuff and watch the
• 39:24
  Speaker 2: grass grow for a ten to seven game. You can
• 39:27
  Speaker 2: do that and enjoy, or go cut your own lawn
• 39:31
  Speaker 2: and come back in.
• 39:33
  Speaker 3: You know, well, here we go two weeks.
• 39:40
  Speaker 2: The push is on. Here we go.
• 39:42
  Speaker 3: You get to sell this, Mike get to celebrate this
• 39:44
  Speaker 3: at all?
• 39:45
  Speaker 2: Or are is he already?
• 39:46
  Speaker 3: Has he been at work since three this morning?
• 39:49
  Speaker 2: Well he should celebrate it, but then he's back to work.
• 39:52
  Speaker 2: He's back to work today, Okay, but last night he
• 39:55
  Speaker 2: probably Yeah, he should celebrate last night. But this first week,
• 40:00
  Speaker 2: how they do this in two weeks, and we can
• 40:01
  Speaker 2: talk about that another time, but the pace of it
• 40:04
  Speaker 2: in two weeks, it's very very important. I think, you know,
• 40:08
  Speaker 2: because I've been on both ends of that, Okay, And
• 40:10
  Speaker 2: so how he practices this week before they travel and
• 40:14
  Speaker 2: now they got all sorts of stuff going in San Francisco.
• 40:17
  Speaker 2: It's different.
• 40:19
  Speaker 4: And I'm sorry, finish, go ahead and interrupt. When you
• 40:23
  Speaker 4: said I've been on both sides of that, do you
• 40:26
  Speaker 4: mean the duration one or two week? Did you mean
• 40:28
  Speaker 4: winning losing? What do you mean by I've been on
• 40:31
  Speaker 4: both sides?
• 40:31
  Speaker 2: I think the pace of it, the how hard you
• 40:35
  Speaker 2: work as an assistant coach. You know, I mentioned the
• 40:38
  Speaker 2: fact that we worked a certain way and what we
• 40:42
  Speaker 2: want them in San Francisco, But then you get a
• 40:45
  Speaker 2: sense that when you actually play the game, itself that
• 40:48
  Speaker 2: I wish we had to play the game Friday and
• 40:51
  Speaker 2: not today, you know you since the mood of the
• 40:54
  Speaker 2: team or the excitement of the team. That's one man's opinion.
• 40:58
  Speaker 2: I just think you got to pace it. Get all
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: your stuff because when you get there, when you get
• 41:02
  Speaker 2: to the city, there's a lot of other stuff going on.
• 41:06
  Speaker 3: Great stuff. It's fun going to the Super Bowl.
• 41:09
  Speaker 2: Everybody here, we go, all right? You so fun?
