Speaker 3: Schumer Sports. Lindsey appreciates your time this morning.
1:10
Speaker 1: How you doing, Hey, I'm doing great. Thanks for having me.
1:14
Speaker 3: No problem. Let's talk some Super Bowl. What do you
1:18
Speaker 3: think the biggest Like we've talked a little bit about
1:20
Speaker 3: this here and kind of broken it down as much
1:22
Speaker 3: as we could all week long. I think the Seattle
1:25
Speaker 3: Seahawks are going to run away and hide in the
1:27
Speaker 3: Super Bowl. I don't know that it's going to be
1:28
Speaker 3: super competitive. I hope it is. But tell me, maybe
1:32
Speaker 3: for those out there hoping for a competitive game, tell
1:34
Speaker 3: me why I might be wrong there it's going to
1:35
Speaker 3: be a little bit more competitive.
1:38
Speaker 1: Well I think. I mean, so you're saying that the
1:41
Speaker 1: Seahawks win big.
1:42
Speaker 3: Yes, that's what I believe.
1:44
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, I think if it is lopsided, that's the
1:47
Speaker 1: direction in which it is lopsided. That's my guess. I
1:50
Speaker 1: think it's probably more likely that the Seahawks win in
1:53
Speaker 1: a closer game. And I think if the Patriots win,
1:56
Speaker 1: it will be low scoring and close. I think the
2:00
Speaker 1: Hawks defense is so good, and I mean the Patriots
2:04
Speaker 1: we've seen kind of They've had a murderer's row of
2:06
Speaker 1: defenses that they needed to go through to get here.
2:08
Speaker 1: I mean, you have to face the Texans and the
2:10
Speaker 1: Broncos and the Seahawks in succession, and by the way,
2:13
Speaker 1: before that, the Chargers, who are also very good on
2:15
Speaker 1: the defensive side of the ball. It's just been wild.
2:17
Speaker 1: I think that what we've seen from them on offense
2:20
Speaker 1: is probably going to be somewhat similar to what we
2:22
Speaker 1: see in the Super Bowl. I think I'm a little
2:26
Speaker 1: bit worried. And one of the things that I'll be
2:27
Speaker 1: keeping my eye on is the Seahawks are able to
2:30
Speaker 1: get pressure without blitting very frequently. They've lifted a low
2:33
Speaker 1: rate and get pressure at a high rate, and I
2:36
Speaker 1: am curious about how Drake May will handle that, because
2:39
Speaker 1: if there is a weakness in his games, I think
2:42
Speaker 1: it is his ability to handle that pressure. Stack avoidance
2:45
Speaker 1: is something that he needs to work on. And by
2:46
Speaker 1: the way, that was the story with Caleb Williams two
2:49
Speaker 1: years ago, and then he got much better in that
2:52
Speaker 1: specific area this year. There have been two games in
2:56
Speaker 1: the postseason so far where Drake May has had zuo
3:00
Speaker 1: pressure to escape attempt, meaning that their pressure came and
3:04
Speaker 1: very often he did tuck it and run and he
3:06
Speaker 1: can scramble and he's very athletic, and so that's the
3:08
Speaker 1: strength of his game. He takes too many facts in
3:11
Speaker 1: those situations, what you'd like to see is the number
3:13
Speaker 1: of Okay, I'm going to evade the rush, flush out
3:17
Speaker 1: of the pocket, but keep my eyes up and look
3:20
Speaker 1: to throw and take a few more shots downfield because
3:22
Speaker 1: that's the most efficient way to get the ball downfield.
3:24
Speaker 1: That's the area he needs to get better at in
3:27
Speaker 1: the future. Even though he's my vote for MVP. It
3:30
Speaker 1: can have an incredible season, but if the Patriots are
3:34
Speaker 1: going to win, I think it's probably going to be
3:37
Speaker 1: something that Brabil cooks up on defense that causes problems
3:40
Speaker 1: for the Seahawks offense, And specifically, I think that we're
3:44
Speaker 1: probably going to need to see him force Sam Donald
3:46
Speaker 1: into a couple of mistakes in order to get a win.
3:49
Speaker 1: And by the way, I want to be very clear,
3:51
Speaker 1: I am not saying that Sam Donald will turn back
3:53
Speaker 1: into the Sam Donald a saw ghosts, because I've heard
3:55
Speaker 1: that a lot this week. It sounds like people are expecting,
3:59
Speaker 1: like the carriage turn back into a pumpkin and a
4:01
Speaker 1: waiting for the clock to strike midnight or something. I
4:04
Speaker 1: don't think that's where we are. He's developed. He he's
4:06
Speaker 1: a different quarterback than he once was. All quarterbacks can
4:10
Speaker 1: make mistakes if a good defense bas them into it.
4:12
Speaker 1: We saw that with Josh Allen in the postseason. We've
4:14
Speaker 1: seen it with Drake May in the postseason as well.
4:16
Speaker 1: But I think that that's the path to the Patriots
4:19
Speaker 1: winning if they are able to do so.
4:22
Speaker 2: Linda, who has the edge as far as coaching goes,
4:25
Speaker 2: because Rabel's been there before as a player. We were
4:28
Speaker 2: talking to McDaniel's coach and I think ten Super bowls
4:31
Speaker 2: is does New England have that advantage as far as
4:33
Speaker 2: their staff goes?
4:35
Speaker 1: Well, I mean they have an insane staff, right Like McDaniels.
4:39
Speaker 1: Is so interesting to me because I don't like him
4:41
Speaker 1: as head coach. I just think, and not just because
4:44
Speaker 1: he hasn't done well. There are things about him that
4:46
Speaker 1: I don't think actually make for a good head coach personally.
4:49
Speaker 1: And I think it's a very different job to be
4:51
Speaker 1: a head coach than it is to be a coordinator.
4:53
Speaker 1: And I think we've learned time and time again he's
4:55
Speaker 1: an incredibly good coordinator, and people sort of make the
4:58
Speaker 1: mistake of saying, Okay, proven it again, let's make you
5:01
Speaker 1: a head coach again. But I love him in this role.
5:04
Speaker 1: He's been incredible for Drake May and the offense and
5:07
Speaker 1: putting them in the best possible positions. And then Brabil, Obviously,
5:11
Speaker 1: I think the thing about Brabel that goes underrated is
5:13
Speaker 1: his skill in game management situations, and that is one
5:17
Speaker 1: of the ways that people who are good coordinators and
5:19
Speaker 1: become head coaches oftentimes just struggle with that. It's timing,
5:24
Speaker 1: it's understanding when to call a timeout, what situations are
5:27
Speaker 1: worse calling timeouts for, and when you shouldn't. I mean,
5:31
Speaker 1: we saw that play was it the ABC Championship game
5:33
Speaker 1: where Drake May takes off and slides, and by the
5:37
Speaker 1: way he was looked like he had his eye on
5:39
Speaker 1: the clock and did it at the exact perfect time,
5:41
Speaker 1: which tells me about his game management skills. But then
5:44
Speaker 1: Brabel was right there watching the clock and called the
5:46
Speaker 1: time out just to give them enough time. I think
5:49
Speaker 1: that he's really really good at that. That said, Mike
5:53
Speaker 1: McDonald is what he's done in Seattle, and what Clint
5:58
Speaker 1: Kubiak I think has done with the offense is also
6:00
Speaker 1: so good. McDonald is obviously like one of our boy
6:04
Speaker 1: geniuses from a defensive standpoint, but Clint Kubak, I think
6:10
Speaker 1: what he's done this year that's been a little bit
6:11
Speaker 1: underrated is the way they manage that offense. They run
6:15
Speaker 1: a ton, which a lot of people in analytics are like,
6:19
Speaker 1: please stop doing this as much because it's a low
6:21
Speaker 1: efficiency play and they are inefficient. They were the twenty
6:24
Speaker 1: ninth team in the regular season in rush EPA, so
6:28
Speaker 1: they ran a ton and did not run it particularly well.
6:30
Speaker 1: But what they did because they also run a lot
6:32
Speaker 1: of play action and put twelve personnel on the field,
6:34
Speaker 1: that's two tight ends. One running back is they're trying
6:37
Speaker 1: to bait the defense into giving them a look that's
6:40
Speaker 1: closer to base. Everyone runs nickel. Now you see a
6:42
Speaker 1: lot of dime. Base is no longer the actual base defense,
6:46
Speaker 1: and you want to get a defensive look that will
6:48
Speaker 1: allow you to throw the ball down field efficiently. And
6:51
Speaker 1: they just run, run, run, run, run, and then go
6:54
Speaker 1: that's the look. Now we're going to throw. And so
6:56
Speaker 1: they throw very infrequently, but they are eighth in in
7:01
Speaker 1: pass EPA. They're one of the most efficient passing teams
7:04
Speaker 1: in the NFL, even though they don't pass that much.
7:07
Speaker 1: So they can get away with not passing that much
7:09
Speaker 1: because they're hitting big plays when they actually do so.
7:13
Speaker 1: I think that what they've done with the talent that
7:16
Speaker 1: they have on their roster and looked at it and said,
7:19
Speaker 1: how can we maximize this and be as efficient as
7:22
Speaker 1: possible the pieces we have. I think it's been nothing
7:25
Speaker 1: short of brilliant. So that's a very long answer about coaching,
7:28
Speaker 1: and I don't know if I feel comfortable picking one
7:31
Speaker 1: side or over the other. I think it's going to
7:32
Speaker 1: be a fascinating chess match, and I think they're really
7:35
Speaker 1: good coaches on both sides of the ball.
7:37
Speaker 3: Another big storyline about this game heading into the weekend
7:41
Speaker 3: has been the injuries to both quarterbacks. Drake May's dealing
7:45
Speaker 3: with the shoulder, the injury to his throwing shoulder, and
7:48
Speaker 3: then Sam Darnold with the oblique. Do you think either
7:51
Speaker 3: one of these injuries comes into play coming up during
7:54
Speaker 3: the Super Bowl and does one worry you more than
7:56
Speaker 3: the other in terms of just the nature of those
7:59
Speaker 3: two injuries.
8:01
Speaker 1: I am not particularly worried, and maybe I'm undervaluing it.
8:05
Speaker 1: There's a part of me that thinks, I mean, we've
8:08
Speaker 1: seen them doing things this week. It's not like the
8:12
Speaker 1: Super Bowl injuries that I think we've talked about in
8:14
Speaker 1: the past and end up being sometimes problems in games
8:16
Speaker 1: and sometimes not. It's like when they're literally not practicing
8:20
Speaker 1: and we're not seeing something and it's like a touch
8:22
Speaker 1: and go situation. Not necessarily quarterbacks, but other positions. I
8:26
Speaker 1: think that ideally you want your quarterback to be full strength,
8:29
Speaker 1: but this is the Super Bowl, and so I think
8:32
Speaker 1: the adrenaline will be on kilt and things that might
8:35
Speaker 1: actually bother them in other games are going to be
8:38
Speaker 1: less likely to bother them in this one because of
8:41
Speaker 1: this year adrenaline and the like, if you're going to
8:43
Speaker 1: power through an injury and just make it work, regardless
8:47
Speaker 1: of whatever pain it causes, it is this particular game,
8:50
Speaker 1: and I don't think that their injuries are such that
8:54
Speaker 1: I see it being like, physically I cannot do this,
8:58
Speaker 1: and so therefore the this is a problem.
9:01
Speaker 3: Have you been out in San Francisco for the full
9:05
Speaker 3: week cover in the Super Bowl leading.
9:06
Speaker 1: Up to it? Yeah. I got in on Sunday, so
9:10
Speaker 1: I've been at Radio Row every day. So I haven't
9:12
Speaker 1: been out at the practices or talking to the players
9:15
Speaker 1: or anything like that. I've been here kind of talking
9:17
Speaker 1: to everybody in the media, going on different radio stations, podcasts,
9:21
Speaker 1: talking to different people and kind of getting their take
9:24
Speaker 1: on all of the things related to the game and
9:26
Speaker 1: then obviously everything else that's going on in the NFL.
9:29
Speaker 1: It's a fun week because you just get a chance
9:31
Speaker 1: to assess, in conversation with a lot of smart people
9:35
Speaker 1: sort of how they see the lay of the land
9:38
Speaker 1: and kind of stack their opinions up against your opinions,
9:40
Speaker 1: and it's a way to sort of form new opinions
9:42
Speaker 1: or to look at things differently. So my week is
9:45
Speaker 1: very specific in that regard, but I always love getting
9:48
Speaker 1: an opportunity to talk to more people.
9:50
Speaker 3: So what if your thoughts been about what Roger Goodell's
9:53
Speaker 3: come out about the future of the NFL trying to
9:56
Speaker 3: push for more international games and the way that they're
10:01
Speaker 3: guiding the NFL in to more of an international product.
10:05
Speaker 3: What are your thoughts on what we've heard this week
10:06
Speaker 3: about that specific portion of Super Bowl Week.
10:11
Speaker 1: Well, I think from a business standpoint, it makes sense.
10:13
Speaker 1: I understand why stands at home would not necessarily want
10:17
Speaker 1: more games to be in weird, you know, weird times,
10:22
Speaker 1: or I mean, honestly, they're never at weird times for us.
10:25
Speaker 1: So take that strike that they don't want a like
10:28
Speaker 1: to have to travel maybe all over the world to
10:31
Speaker 1: go to one of their team's home games, or they
10:32
Speaker 1: think that they're losing an actual home game in order
10:35
Speaker 1: to be the home team in a situation where they're
10:37
Speaker 1: not actually the home team. There are lots of different things.
10:40
Speaker 1: I think that you could potentially look at this the
10:42
Speaker 1: travel in terms of what that means for you on
10:44
Speaker 1: the back end. Do you automatically get a buy or
10:47
Speaker 1: you're going to be behind the eight ball because you've
10:49
Speaker 1: traveled all over the world. I think all of those
10:51
Speaker 1: things are valid concerns for sure. As a product, I
10:54
Speaker 1: think that the NFL has sort of peaked in terms
10:58
Speaker 1: of it's popularity in the United States, and the next
11:01
Speaker 1: obvious step for any business to take is to say,
11:03
Speaker 1: let's bring this to the world. Like soccer is much
11:07
Speaker 1: more popular all over the world, and I think that
11:09
Speaker 1: they probably look at their product as being a product
11:12
Speaker 1: that for the same reasons that it's so popular in
11:15
Speaker 1: America that it should be popular in other places, and
11:18
Speaker 1: so exposure is good in that regard. I mean, I
11:21
Speaker 1: kind of feel like the more the merrier, let's bring
11:23
Speaker 1: you to the party. I think this is the best
11:25
Speaker 1: game that there is, and I think it's also the
11:27
Speaker 1: easiest game to follow, which is weird because the certainly
11:31
Speaker 1: the rules are tricky and eleven sleep and it's hard
11:34
Speaker 1: to explain to people who are casual. But if you
11:37
Speaker 1: even just start off on the most basic in the
11:39
Speaker 1: most basic way, and you tell them a few stories
11:41
Speaker 1: that can grab you. This is one of the only
11:43
Speaker 1: sports in the world for which every game actually matters
11:47
Speaker 1: all season long. I mean, you could argue that at
11:49
Speaker 1: the end of the year in baseball, like a winner,
11:52
Speaker 1: a loss might get you in or out of the playoffs,
11:54
Speaker 1: but like playing one hundred and sixty two, those things
11:56
Speaker 1: go in cycles and waves. This one is literally every
11:59
Speaker 1: single game is going to determine where you're going to
12:01
Speaker 1: be at the end of the season. It matters, and
12:03
Speaker 1: every game has its own built in matchup story and
12:06
Speaker 1: storyline about like this coach versus that coach that he
12:09
Speaker 1: used to or you know that he used to work
12:12
Speaker 1: with or whatever. There there's so many different ways that
12:14
Speaker 1: you can pull people in and give them a reason
12:17
Speaker 1: to feel invested in that one individual game that's going
12:20
Speaker 1: on that week, And so I think it's the easiest
12:24
Speaker 1: sport to cover. I think it's the easiest sport to
12:26
Speaker 1: get invested in, and so I wouldn't be surprised to
12:28
Speaker 1: see the growth, to see it grow internationally based on
12:32
Speaker 1: the NFL's efforts, and I don't think that's a bad thing.
12:35
Speaker 3: NFL analyst for Sumer Sports Lindsay Rhoades with us here
12:38
Speaker 3: on the Sean O'Connell Show on ESPN seven hundred and
12:40
Speaker 3: ninety two one FM. Lindsay, how many Super Bowls have
12:43
Speaker 3: you had the opportunity to cover in your career so far?
12:46
Speaker 1: No, what's weird? And I even actually I got this
12:49
Speaker 1: question earlier this week and realized I need to count
12:51
Speaker 1: that at some point because I want to have that
12:53
Speaker 1: answer if you want to know, I don't know. I
12:55
Speaker 1: went to everyone after Dallas, and I don't even remember
12:58
Speaker 1: what sea, you know, but I went to Dallas when
13:01
Speaker 1: it's knowed in Dallas, and then I went to every
13:03
Speaker 1: Super Bowl until Miami, and then I went to the
13:07
Speaker 1: last two. So I missed about four. So it's it's
13:10
Speaker 1: been a few. It's been a few. It's such a
13:13
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously, it's such a bucket list kind of thing.
13:16
Speaker 1: If you're into football to try and get to a
13:19
Speaker 1: game or even honestly come the week of to the city,
13:23
Speaker 1: because I'm always thinking, like if you just camped out,
13:26
Speaker 1: and I'm going to try and encourage people to do this,
13:28
Speaker 1: but if you camped outside of Radio Road, the number
13:31
Speaker 1: of people that just go in and out that are
13:33
Speaker 1: your favorite athletes is wild. Like I mean, stories galore,
13:38
Speaker 1: but like yesterday, I'm getting in the elevator to go
13:41
Speaker 1: to my room in the hotel and the elevator door
13:44
Speaker 1: opens up and outcomes it in Hutchinson, and I'm thinking
13:46
Speaker 1: the whole time, like my son would die if he
13:49
Speaker 1: was just where I was all week long, you know,
13:52
Speaker 1: just in terms of the proximity to all of your
13:54
Speaker 1: favorite players, because people who aren't playing in the game
13:57
Speaker 1: come here to pitch their product or for honors or
14:00
Speaker 1: for this year's the Pro Bowl, and so if you
14:02
Speaker 1: are a football fan, it's just such a fun energy
14:05
Speaker 1: and the NFL does a great job of throwing a
14:08
Speaker 1: bunch of different parties around town, and so it's it's
14:11
Speaker 1: I feel very, very fortunate, and I've never gotten to
14:14
Speaker 1: the point, regardless of how many Super Bowls I've covered
14:17
Speaker 1: or been to, where it doesn't feel cool anymore. Like
14:20
Speaker 1: this is just undeniably cool and I feel very, very
14:22
Speaker 1: fortunate to be a part of it. In any way, it.
14:24
Speaker 3: Sounds like a really cool opportunity. What's been your favorite
14:28
Speaker 3: destination that you've been at for a super Bowl And
14:30
Speaker 3: how how does each destination differ because it seems like, oh,
14:33
Speaker 3: you just go do the same thing in a different destination,
14:36
Speaker 3: but is it really that way in reality?
14:39
Speaker 1: So my favorite super Bowl cities are the smaller ones. Weirdly,
14:43
Speaker 1: like you have to be a certain size, you have
14:45
Speaker 1: to be big enough that you can handle all of
14:48
Speaker 1: the people, you have to have the infrastructure from a
14:50
Speaker 1: hotel standpoint, and all that kind of stuff. But I
14:53
Speaker 1: think that the best super Bowl cities are the ones
14:55
Speaker 1: where it does get a little bit more compact and
14:58
Speaker 1: there's a smaller downtown. And I don't have a specific favorite,
15:02
Speaker 1: but I know that the ones where things are really
15:05
Speaker 1: spread out over a great distance, that is what detracts
15:09
Speaker 1: from the things that I think make it special that
15:11
Speaker 1: I just outlined, where you're like walking down the street
15:13
Speaker 1: and seeing Hall of famers and your favorite players and
15:16
Speaker 1: you can't avoid them if you go to like and
15:18
Speaker 1: I live in Los Angeles, and I love LA. I
15:20
Speaker 1: rep LA all the time. I don't think it's a
15:22
Speaker 1: great super Bowl city because what is LA? That's what
15:25
Speaker 1: I tell people, and they're like, I'm coming to LA,
15:27
Speaker 1: and I'm like where, Like does that mean Santa Monica?
15:30
Speaker 1: Does that mean the South Bay? Does that mean downtown LA?
15:32
Speaker 1: Does that mean? Like? LA is so many different parts
15:36
Speaker 1: of LA, which is one of the things as beautiful
15:38
Speaker 1: about LA. But it's not like a city where everyone
15:41
Speaker 1: kind of experiences the same type of thing. And so
15:44
Speaker 1: I think when people cam Francisco is the thing about
15:46
Speaker 1: San Francisco that's tough is the traffic. It's the weirdest
15:50
Speaker 1: traffic city where you it can take you like a
15:52
Speaker 1: half hour to go three blocks. And so I think,
15:55
Speaker 1: for whatever reason, this one actually is a tough one.
15:58
Speaker 1: And then you have all of the actual football events
16:00
Speaker 1: taking place in San Jose or Santa Clara, which is
16:03
Speaker 1: so far away from San Francisco. It's like an entirely
16:07
Speaker 1: different place. So I wouldn't say that this is one
16:10
Speaker 1: of my favorites. Actually, like the smaller ones.
16:14
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I asked that question to preface the next one,
16:17
Speaker 3: which is about Kansas City, specifically Chicago. They're all planning
16:22
Speaker 3: these or at least trying to plan to build indoor stadiums,
16:26
Speaker 3: and it feels like it's a play to get the
16:28
Speaker 3: Super Bowl in their cities. Your thoughts about these new
16:31
Speaker 3: stadium designs that are coming out that are indoor stadiums
16:34
Speaker 3: that kind of take away from that cool outdoor feel
16:38
Speaker 3: in the especially the weather portion of NFL football that
16:41
Speaker 3: we all come to love to.
16:43
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's an interesting conversation, I think because I can
16:46
Speaker 1: actually see both sides on this one, because I love
16:50
Speaker 1: a good weather game as much as anyone. I mean,
16:53
Speaker 1: you put snow flurries on my television screen and you
16:56
Speaker 1: watch the green turn to white, and I'm like, I
17:00
Speaker 1: am hooked. It is just cinematic. I love it. And
17:04
Speaker 1: there's also an argument for that being another layer of
17:07
Speaker 1: roster building that you have to take into consideration. You
17:10
Speaker 1: have to be able to play in a bunch of
17:11
Speaker 1: different types of weather environments, indoors, outdoors. You've got to
17:15
Speaker 1: be able to win different ways, and that that's a
17:17
Speaker 1: skill set that teams and roster builders, a front office
17:21
Speaker 1: of people should have to keep in mind. But there's
17:24
Speaker 1: also a component of sometimes the best team doesn't win
17:27
Speaker 1: in the playoffs when that's the case, because you just say, Okay,
17:31
Speaker 1: we're gonna take away the thing that you do best,
17:33
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden it's a ground and
17:36
Speaker 1: pound and you just can't throw the ball. And then
17:38
Speaker 1: nobody wants to see a you know, a team that
17:41
Speaker 1: has literally the best passing attack, which is the most
17:44
Speaker 1: valuable thing to have in football, just on one day
17:47
Speaker 1: not matter at all. So I'm very very split on that.
17:53
Speaker 1: I think that Chicago would be a great super Bowl city.
17:56
Speaker 1: I think it would be a really really cool super
17:58
Speaker 1: Bowl city. I think it's such a fun city, and
18:01
Speaker 1: there is kind of an area of like a quote
18:03
Speaker 1: unquote downtown that feels like you could put all of
18:06
Speaker 1: this stuff, and so I would love to see that
18:09
Speaker 1: one way or another.
18:10
Speaker 3: To be honest with you, all right, lindsay, before we
18:14
Speaker 3: let you go, and I appreciate your time here this afternoon,
18:17
Speaker 3: before we let you go, how do you think the
18:19
Speaker 3: Super Bowl is going to play out? Patriots Seahawks? You
18:22
Speaker 3: where does this go? And who do you think is
18:23
Speaker 3: going to win?
18:25
Speaker 1: Yeah? I'm going Seahawks. I haven't actually thought of a
18:28
Speaker 1: numerical score. I'm going to go Seahawks somewhere in the
18:30
Speaker 1: like I think they probably cover. I could see it
18:33
Speaker 1: being like a six to seven point spread. I'm going
18:36
Speaker 1: to take them in like the low twenties somewhere, and
18:38
Speaker 1: I think that the Patriots are probably somewhere in the
18:41
Speaker 1: mid to high teens. That I know that that's super
18:45
Speaker 1: vague and I should just come up with like a
18:46
Speaker 1: twenty three to seventeen or something like that, but but
18:49
Speaker 1: I think that that's how I see it playing out.
18:52
Speaker 3: Okay, well, we'll see how it plays out. I think
18:55
Speaker 3: the Seahawks are going to roll and run away and
18:57
Speaker 3: hide in this one. Unfortunately, hopefully it's a a possible.
19:01
Speaker 1: I think that that's possible, honestly, I really do. So
19:05
Speaker 1: we'll see who's right, all right, Sunday.
19:07
Speaker 3: Hey, take care, Thank you so much for jumping on
19:09
Speaker 3: with us, and have a great weekend and enjoy the
19:11
Speaker 3: super Bowl.
19:11
Speaker 1: Okay, thank you guys very much for having me, no doubt.
19:15
