- 0:53Speaker 3: That was nice. Oh really just a dingy, yeah, a dingy?
- 0:57Speaker 3: Uh huh. Do you like my water? Yeah?
- 1:01Speaker 4: I made?
- 1:03Speaker 5: Yeah, well flo really actually like just the full blown
- 1:07Speaker 5: U you know, donut donut circle.
- 1:09Speaker 3: I just that's a fit on my arm, so yeah,
- 1:11Speaker 3: smart thinking. Yeah.
- 1:12Speaker 2: Well, you know you gotta take your float ease. I
- 1:14Speaker 2: mean that's a long way from North Bend. Yeah, also, U,
- 1:18Speaker 2: you know, even though you're an all state swimmer, you
- 1:21Speaker 2: never know when you're going to tuck her out.
- 1:22Speaker 3: It was a long time ago.
- 1:23Speaker 5: I wouldn't make it very far these days without my speedo,
- 1:27Speaker 5: and I don't have any of this size.
- 1:29Speaker 2: Well, I'm I'm glad you're joking about this. Obviously you
- 1:33Speaker 2: missed the show yesterday to take care of the home front.
- 1:36Speaker 1: Everything.
- 1:36Speaker 3: Okay, everything's good.
- 1:37Speaker 5: Yeah, the house is still where it was supposed to be,
- 1:40Speaker 5: where it started before the flood. That was kind of
- 1:43Speaker 5: I guess, uh, priority number one, well, actually my family
- 1:47Speaker 5: priority number one. That was it was a bit stress,
- 1:50Speaker 5: so I don't typically stress about it. I did my
- 1:52Speaker 5: due diligence before I bought a place on the river. Right,
- 1:55Speaker 5: we got a spot that's a little bit higher than
- 1:57Speaker 5: everything around us.
- 1:58Speaker 3: Okay, as water, typically we'll go to the low areas.
- 2:02Speaker 5: Yeah, come to find out, I'm married doing an engineer,
- 2:04Speaker 5: so I learned things like that. And yet that was
- 2:08Speaker 5: a test. The last few days was a test because
- 2:10Speaker 5: I mean you've we've seen it. As a matter of fact,
- 2:13Speaker 5: the first time after we moved there, the first high
- 2:15Speaker 5: water event was like two weeks after we moved there,
- 2:17Speaker 5: and all of a sudden, the water's lapping at the
- 2:20Speaker 5: grass or the level right at our house, and it's
- 2:23Speaker 5: a foot away from the house. And it was like
- 2:25Speaker 5: kind of worrisome. There was a neighbor at the time,
- 2:27Speaker 5: his name was Cliff, that lived there. He's like, Noah,
- 2:29Speaker 5: there's nothing worry about it. There's nothing worried about I'm like,
- 2:31Speaker 5: but it's saying it's supposed to go up. And he's like, yep,
- 2:34Speaker 5: it'll just spill over on all the low spots. And
- 2:37Speaker 5: sure enough it did. And that and then and then
- 2:39Speaker 5: like a year or two after that we moved into
- 2:42Speaker 5: this house. They dredged the falls, so unfortunate for the
- 2:45Speaker 5: lower Valley, Carnation Falls City to all those areas. They
- 2:49Speaker 5: basically allowed it to where more water will flow over
- 2:52Speaker 5: the falls, hence not bottlenecking up into the upper valley.
- 2:56Speaker 5: And since then it hasn't even gotten close. I mean
- 2:59Speaker 5: we're talking never with like two feet of the top
- 3:01Speaker 5: of our like the edge of our grass. But this
- 3:04Speaker 5: one was not like that. This one was right at
- 3:06Speaker 5: the top. And then all of a sudden we're seeing, oh,
- 3:08Speaker 5: another bigger one's coming tomorrow. And then a bit even
- 3:12Speaker 5: bigger one the next day, and it's like, okay, this
- 3:14Speaker 5: is and sure enough the last two. The first one
- 3:17Speaker 5: it was a flood, but then the next one was
- 3:20Speaker 5: it was there was the river was running through my
- 3:22Speaker 5: property like and then down our driveway and down the
- 3:26Speaker 5: main road. I mean, by the time I got home,
- 3:29Speaker 5: was it Wednesday, Like I couldn't get home. I couldn't
- 3:33Speaker 5: get that was our house was already landlocked. We were
- 3:35Speaker 5: already living on an island like billionaires do. Oh yeah,
- 3:38Speaker 5: So most people don't think you can own an island
- 3:41Speaker 5: unless you're a billionaire, but I basically do if mother
- 3:44Speaker 5: nature says I do.
- 3:47Speaker 3: And yet it was it just was a a little
- 3:49Speaker 3: bit stressful.
- 3:49Speaker 2: I mean, I was such an engineer.
- 3:51Speaker 3: I mean you always talk about how smart she is.
- 3:53Speaker 2: How come you haven't had a drawbridge made yet?
- 3:56Speaker 3: That's true? Yeah, I don't know. It'd be easy for her,
- 4:00Speaker 3: really hard.
- 4:00Speaker 6: For me, Like some sort of pulley system that senses
- 4:04Speaker 6: the water, it releases things this way and this way.
- 4:07Speaker 2: And then and now that you're rich, now that you're
- 4:10Speaker 2: rich folk, I mean you know, who else do you
- 4:12Speaker 2: know has their own drawbridge?
- 4:14Speaker 3: That would be ways like yeah.
- 4:17Speaker 6: And you could have the wheel for the dog, could
- 4:19Speaker 6: be like the thing that gets it to go up
- 4:21Speaker 6: and down.
- 4:21Speaker 5: That's a great idea, Archer running, that's a great idea.
- 4:29Speaker 7: Annoying people.
- 4:30Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know.
- 4:32Speaker 5: I don't know why she hasn't came up with something
- 4:33Speaker 5: like or just something that makes her house just just
- 4:37Speaker 5: raise up.
- 4:38Speaker 7: That's probably.
- 4:42Speaker 5: I mean, invents something, Kate, what are you doing raising children?
- 4:45Speaker 5: Going to be a black belt in jiu jitsu? Yeah, okay, whatever, No,
- 4:51Speaker 5: it was. It was stressful. It was more stressful than
- 4:53Speaker 5: normal for me. Normally, I'm like, mad, We're fine, because,
- 4:57Speaker 5: like I said, I've seen it overflow the banks and
- 4:59Speaker 5: then and that kind of continue to grow and still
- 5:03Speaker 5: nothing happened. Well, this one was it overflowed the banks.
- 5:06Speaker 5: It's running down a driveway. You can't get in or out.
- 5:10Speaker 5: Well you could, but you're gonna be You're gonna be
- 5:12Speaker 5: driving through floodwaters and that's not safe. And so it
- 5:16Speaker 5: was kind of one of those and yet it still
- 5:18Speaker 5: is rising.
- 5:19Speaker 3: It was.
- 5:20Speaker 5: It was, Yeah, it was an event, I would say,
- 5:22Speaker 5: and I so I tried to get some sleep so
- 5:24Speaker 5: I could do the show, and then it was really
- 5:28Speaker 5: no sleep, and I still was setting alarm to get
- 5:30Speaker 5: up and check the websites and go look at it
- 5:32Speaker 5: and then go outside. And by the time five o'clock
- 5:36Speaker 5: rolled around, I'm like, this is just not good. I
- 5:38Speaker 5: didn't feel comfortable leaving my family. I would have had
- 5:40Speaker 5: to take the truck to get out, yeah, and then
- 5:43Speaker 5: leave my family. Hey, you guys, just there's a boat there,
- 5:46Speaker 5: you know, the driftboat. Just hop in that if you
- 5:48Speaker 5: got to get out for whatever reason. So it just
- 5:51Speaker 5: didn't make sense. There's some water got in some of
- 5:53Speaker 5: my buildings and my shop and whatnot. But for the
- 5:56Speaker 5: most part, if anything got ruined in there, I probably
- 5:59Speaker 5: haven't looked at it or used it in five or
- 6:01Speaker 5: six years, so it can go to the dump anyways.
- 6:04Speaker 5: So for the most part, we lucked out. There's a
- 6:07Speaker 5: lot of people that, well, you're now dealing with real Yeah.
- 6:10Speaker 2: People say that all the time, like when you have
- 6:12Speaker 2: an accident because truck went through the four way and
- 6:16Speaker 2: then you come out, you know, with just like a
- 6:18Speaker 2: broken wrist. Oh I really lucked out. No, no, no, I
- 6:20Speaker 2: actually had a lot of bad luck.
- 6:22Speaker 3: It just could have been worse. Yes, yeah, yeah, you
- 6:25Speaker 3: did that.
- 6:25Speaker 2: Uh yeah, yeah, So I don't look at you as, boy,
- 6:28Speaker 2: you got lucky there, Bucky. I look at it as like, well,
- 6:31Speaker 2: at least it could have been a lot could have
- 6:34Speaker 2: been worse.
- 6:34Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, that is perspective.
- 6:38Speaker 2: I don't think you got lucky at all. Having to
- 6:39Speaker 2: stress out over that and to deal with that for
- 6:41Speaker 2: three days.
- 6:42Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean I wouldn't definitely wouldn't call it lucky yet, right,
- 6:44Speaker 5: But I mean, I mean I had a buddy who
- 6:46Speaker 5: listens to our show at the time, ended up he.
- 6:49Speaker 2: Said, yesterday's show was the best one he's heard.
- 6:51Speaker 5: No, he doesn't listen if I'm not on, So you're smart.
- 6:56Speaker 5: He ended up having like a medical I mean, having
- 6:59Speaker 5: a stroke, and so it's just one of those you're
- 7:01Speaker 5: stressing out and luckily things worked out okay for me
- 7:05Speaker 5: and my family. I mean that's the bare bones bottom
- 7:08Speaker 5: line of it. And then yet you're like, I guess
- 7:10Speaker 5: things could be worse, you know, there's always things that
- 7:13Speaker 5: could be worse. But the flood we did, we ended
- 7:16Speaker 5: up coming out basically unscathed for the most part. A
- 7:19Speaker 5: couple of little things we'll have to throw in the dump,
- 7:20Speaker 5: but other than that, family's good, houses, good where we
- 7:24Speaker 5: stayed dry, very good and I don't really have to
- 7:26Speaker 5: didn't have to take floaties to get here.
- 7:28Speaker 3: It's receded.
- 7:28Speaker 7: Now, Oh goody, I'm glad you're all right.
- 7:31Speaker 3: Yeah, thank you, very good too.
- 7:32Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, well Bucky is back. All is good,
- 7:36Speaker 2: and so we got four hours here for you today.
- 7:39Speaker 2: And well, yeah, not much has changed since last we talk.
- 7:42Speaker 2: We're just it's still we're sitting here jaws dropped open
- 7:46Speaker 2: over the fact that we have to face Philip Rivers
- 7:48Speaker 2: this weekend. It's still the it's still I still have
- 7:52Speaker 2: the same incredulous kind of look on my face, like
- 7:56Speaker 2: is this really happening? And of course it happens to
- 7:59Speaker 2: the sea Hawks, because Seahawks are infinitely interesting. I've been
- 8:03Speaker 2: here for ten years. There's never been a day that
- 8:06Speaker 2: they weren't interesting. All interesting things in the National Football
- 8:10Speaker 2: League seem to either happen around two or in proximity
- 8:15Speaker 2: with the Seattle Seahawks, And so, of course it's the
- 8:19Speaker 2: Seahawks who play the Colts the week after Daniel Jones
- 8:23Speaker 2: blows out his achilles, Riley Leonard gets hurt as the backup.
- 8:27Speaker 2: They realize we don't have a quarterback, and they go
- 8:31Speaker 2: out and sign a forty four year old grandfather of
- 8:35Speaker 2: two to start against US on Sunday. So that hasn't changed.
- 8:39Speaker 2: We're still talking about Philip Rivers because it is really
- 8:42Speaker 2: just that fascinating and maybe I don't know, I think
- 8:47Speaker 2: maybe I'm everybody has the reaction of it, seems to me,
- 8:52Speaker 2: from Kurt Warner on our show yesterday to Greg de Hugh,
- 8:56Speaker 2: is just there's no way that this can be successful.
- 8:59Speaker 2: But I feel like I have the largest there's no
- 9:03Speaker 2: way it can be successful. I feel like I have
- 9:06Speaker 2: the most adamant belief in that. I don't think anybody
- 9:09Speaker 2: has risen that we've had on to match. I think
- 9:12Speaker 2: some people are giving this a possible chance because Philip
- 9:15Speaker 2: Rivers is such a good quarterback for so long. I mean,
- 9:19Speaker 2: he irritated the hell out of Bucky for two decades
- 9:22Speaker 2: for goodness sake in the AFC West. He's such a
- 9:26Speaker 2: good quarterback. But I tell you what, I just I
- 9:30Speaker 2: can't see anywhere. I'm telling you, Buck, I'm forty four
- 9:33Speaker 2: to three. That's what I think is going to happen.
- 9:35Speaker 2: I'm facing Ashley's defense this week in fantasy football in playoffs,
- 9:40Speaker 2: I face the Seahawks defense I'm expecting thirty points from them,
- 9:44Speaker 2: I hope so. I mean, I think they're going to
- 9:47Speaker 2: run the football with Jonathan Taylor, but I just can't
- 9:51Speaker 2: imagine they can put too much on his plate. I
- 9:53Speaker 2: can't imagine he even fathoms how the speed of the
- 9:58Speaker 2: game and when you're away from it for two weeks
- 10:02Speaker 2: it catches up to you five years, twenty five pounds later.
- 10:07Speaker 2: I mean, stepping off a high school football field. I
- 10:11Speaker 2: don't care how good Philip Rivers once was. This seems
- 10:15Speaker 2: impossible to me. I mean, maybe I'll be proven wrong
- 10:18Speaker 2: and I'll be here on Monday telling you what an
- 10:20Speaker 2: amazing story it is, and how Philip Rivers should have
- 10:24Speaker 2: done this long ago, and that man Brady should come
- 10:28Speaker 2: out of retirement if this is so easy, and Peyton Manning,
- 10:31Speaker 2: you know, tape up your neck, boy, get out there. Obviously,
- 10:35Speaker 2: it's very easy. Eli Manning, what are you doing on
- 10:38Speaker 2: the couch?
- 10:39Speaker 3: Play some football?
- 10:40Speaker 2: You're not one hundred yet, clearly inside your fifties. You
- 10:44Speaker 2: can still play football in the National Football League.
- 10:46Speaker 3: But we'll see.
- 10:47Speaker 2: I'm expecting it to be an absolute s show, unfortunately
- 10:52Speaker 2: for Philip Rivers.
- 10:53Speaker 3: On Sunday, well, it very well could be.
- 10:55Speaker 5: I mean, just when you start putting everything together, the Seahawks,
- 10:58Speaker 5: the way in which they're play defensively, the way in
- 11:01Speaker 5: which they haven't, you know, the last couple of weeks,
- 11:03Speaker 5: when they've played a team that is inferior to them,
- 11:06Speaker 5: they've just put it on them. I mean, I mean
- 11:08Speaker 5: absolutely ran away with it. You know, imposed their will
- 11:12Speaker 5: made a statement, whatever cliche you want to use, it's
- 11:15Speaker 5: they've been doing that. I'll just say, I mean, to me,
- 11:20Speaker 5: their defense is unbelievable. You still got to go out
- 11:22Speaker 5: and play, because, yeah, while that's the most important position
- 11:25Speaker 5: on the field, there's still ten other dudes on offense
- 11:28Speaker 5: they're gonna be playing with him, and a decent defense,
- 11:30Speaker 5: a defense that had carried that team with Daniel Jones,
- 11:35Speaker 5: many of which would have said, you know, when he
- 11:38Speaker 5: was with the Giants, a lot of people thought you
- 11:40Speaker 5: couldn't be better than a sixty four year old Philip Rivers,
- 11:44Speaker 5: and I don't think that was necessarily correct based on
- 11:47Speaker 5: the way that he played a majority of this season.
- 11:50Speaker 5: And yet there's so you still got to go out
- 11:52Speaker 5: and you've got to kind of prove that the facts
- 11:55Speaker 5: are the facts that you are head and shoulders above
- 11:59Speaker 5: this team and not make a bunch of crucial mistakes
- 12:02Speaker 5: because all of a sudden, if he goes out there
- 12:05Speaker 5: and with the little bit of knowledge that you can
- 12:07Speaker 5: get in a short week of practice with a new team,
- 12:10Speaker 5: even though you know the offense, but you don't you
- 12:13Speaker 5: haven't been throwing passes. You haven't been seeing guys coming
- 12:15Speaker 5: at you live most certainly, you haven't seen Mike McDonald's
- 12:17Speaker 5: guys coming at you the way.
- 12:18Speaker 3: That they do.
- 12:20Speaker 5: If you just give them short fields and it's hey,
- 12:22Speaker 5: just don't turn the ball over and get a three,
- 12:24Speaker 5: and then don't turn you turn the ball over and
- 12:26Speaker 5: they get three, and next thing you know, you break
- 12:28Speaker 5: coverage and there's a seven. Next thing you know, you
- 12:29Speaker 5: can find yourself in a ball game where the pucker
- 12:32Speaker 5: factor will start to come in because you're like, how
- 12:35Speaker 5: in the heck are we letting this happen? Because you
- 12:36Speaker 5: would feel I think if you're on the field, you
- 12:38Speaker 5: would feel the what the narrative around it is, if
- 12:42Speaker 5: all of a sudden, you're in the fourth court and
- 12:44Speaker 5: you're behind Philip Rivers five years removed from taking an
- 12:48Speaker 5: NFL snap, Now that seems really far fact.
- 12:50Speaker 2: Yeah, if we get to that point, I'll buy your point.
- 12:53Speaker 2: But I just what my point is. I don't see
- 12:57Speaker 2: any scenario possible that you get to that point.
- 13:01Speaker 5: I okay, so just a couple of weeks ago watching
- 13:03Speaker 5: the Denver Broncos game. But the defense was one of
- 13:06Speaker 5: the best in the NFL has been for the entire season,
- 13:09Speaker 5: and they're going against Marcus Mariota, who has really never
- 13:12Speaker 5: proven that he's great at the NFL level, and he
- 13:16Speaker 5: absolutely diced up the secondary that was was not nobody
- 13:20Speaker 5: had diced him up. So there was a game plan
- 13:23Speaker 5: that kind of fit into every once in a while,
- 13:26Speaker 5: if you catch them while they're doing that moving around.
- 13:28Speaker 5: How Hugh talks about there's a way in which you
- 13:30Speaker 5: can get it done. I don't see Philip Rivers being
- 13:33Speaker 5: able to do that on short notice. But I wouldn't
- 13:35Speaker 5: put it out of the room of possibilities. I'm just
- 13:37Speaker 5: not at the point where I'm like, I have no
- 13:40Speaker 5: understanding how this could be anything other than forty four
- 13:42Speaker 5: to three.
- 13:43Speaker 3: I can see definite ways of which you could.
- 13:45Speaker 2: I'm just saying I don't see anyway that there's a
- 13:47Speaker 2: not a blowout. I might not be as aggressive as
- 13:51Speaker 2: forty four to three. But that's just that's what I'm thinking.
- 13:54Speaker 2: That it ends up. And Marcus Mariota has been playing
- 13:57Speaker 2: all year long and he's actually pretty good versus somebody
- 14:01Speaker 2: that hasn't played in five years, five years, not playing
- 14:04Speaker 2: quarterback in the National Football League, at an advanced age,
- 14:07Speaker 2: at an advanced weight.
- 14:10Speaker 3: I just how do you do it?
- 14:12Speaker 7: He's going to have three practices, three.
- 14:14Speaker 2: Practices, hasn't been tackled in five years. I don't care
- 14:17Speaker 2: how much he's been slinging the ball around the yard
- 14:20Speaker 2: with his high school wide receivers. Yeah, I mean, I
- 14:24Speaker 2: just I just don't think anybody in Indianapolis realizes how
- 14:30Speaker 2: difficult this is going to be. I don't think Philip
- 14:32Speaker 2: Rivers understands how difficult this is going to be. I
- 14:35Speaker 2: just don't see how it's even humanly possible. I mean,
- 14:39Speaker 2: I've watched a game with where the forty nine Remember
- 14:42Speaker 2: when forty nine Ers lost brock Perty and they didn't
- 14:45Speaker 2: have a quarterback and Christian.
- 14:46Speaker 7: Was it Christian McCaffrey had to throw the ball or something.
- 14:49Speaker 3: No, it was like a wide receiver, an emergency quarterback.
- 14:52Speaker 3: That's how I think.
- 14:52Speaker 7: It's going to be Caffrey.
- 14:54Speaker 2: That's how I think it's going to be. I mean,
- 14:56Speaker 2: I just don't see how he could even have a
- 15:00Speaker 2: chance out there without grossly turning the ball over or
- 15:05Speaker 2: I just think that's the type of day it's going
- 15:07Speaker 2: to be. I think you're looking at like a five
- 15:10Speaker 2: turnover day from Philip Rivers.
- 15:11Speaker 6: I mean, I just look at the last two games,
- 15:13Speaker 6: and it was thirty seven to nine against the Falcons
- 15:16Speaker 6: and twenty six nothing against the Vikings. Credited the Vikings
- 15:19Speaker 6: had a rookie quarterback, but you you did thirty seven
- 15:22Speaker 6: to nine against the Kirk Cousins, who has been playing.
- 15:25Speaker 7: He's been playing, yeah, and so I just I think.
- 15:28Speaker 6: If you gave him a couple of weeks, it wouldn't
- 15:31Speaker 6: it wouldn't be the same story. But three practices and
- 15:34Speaker 6: you haven't played in five years, and so it's not
- 15:37Speaker 6: even just a Philip Rivers thing. You haven't played with
- 15:40Speaker 6: this offense, like you don't know you you and the
- 15:43Speaker 6: receivers don't have a relationship yet. You don't know where,
- 15:47Speaker 6: you know, the timing and all of those things that
- 15:50Speaker 6: the intricacies of football, you can't you can't figure that
- 15:53Speaker 6: out with a team in three days.
- 15:55Speaker 3: I hope I'm wrong.
- 15:57Speaker 2: Right as a Seahawk fan, I hope I'm wrong. I
- 16:00Speaker 2: hope it's a really interesting thing.
- 16:01Speaker 7: I hope it's seventy five.
- 16:03Speaker 3: I hope.
- 16:05Speaker 2: I want to win. But I hope it's a really
- 16:08Speaker 2: interesting game, And I think it's a really good story
- 16:13Speaker 2: if it is. I mean, he doesn't have to win,
- 16:15Speaker 2: he just has to, Like, I mean, it's going to
- 16:18Speaker 2: be a great story either way. Yeah, even if he
- 16:20Speaker 2: goes out there and makes the biggest fool of himself
- 16:21Speaker 2: that we've ever seen in the history of the NFL,
- 16:24Speaker 2: it's still going to be a great story that he's
- 16:27Speaker 2: even attempting this. So I hope I'm wrong. I hope
- 16:30Speaker 2: he I hope he plays well. I hope it's a
- 16:32Speaker 2: competitive game. I hope we win that competitive game. That's
- 16:36Speaker 2: my hope. I just put me in the category with
- 16:40Speaker 2: the most extreme opinion on this of it not working.
- 16:44Speaker 3: But that's where I am.
- 16:45Speaker 2: I just don't see how you can do this at
- 16:49Speaker 2: the National Football League level and live to tell the tale.
- 16:52Speaker 5: Well, I think there's probably a better chance that the
- 16:56Speaker 5: how fast the game is and the fact that he
- 16:58Speaker 5: hasn't had the I mean He's been hit plenty of
- 17:01Speaker 5: times and so you get it. But the idea of
- 17:03Speaker 5: not having been hit and then getting just crushed in
- 17:06Speaker 5: the pocket, I mean, getting through this game healthy would
- 17:11Speaker 5: be my main concern for him being able to, you know,
- 17:16Speaker 5: throw the ball to somebody that he thinks is open
- 17:18Speaker 5: and fitted into a little window. I think that he
- 17:20Speaker 5: can do that from time to time. Now, it's just
- 17:22Speaker 5: the all the experience that he had. He didn't have
- 17:25Speaker 5: any experience going against a defense that just looked like this.
- 17:28Speaker 5: So it's kind of one of those, Man, that's the
- 17:31Speaker 5: best thing that you're bringing to the table is you
- 17:33Speaker 5: know the NFL. Well, you don't know this version of
- 17:36Speaker 5: the NFL. This one is different. Mike McDonald wasn't even
- 17:39Speaker 5: in the NFL when you last took a snap, and
- 17:41Speaker 5: so it's going to be I mean, it's uphill sledden
- 17:45Speaker 5: or I mean a tough go.
- 17:47Speaker 3: I'm with you.
- 17:47Speaker 5: I mean, I don't necessarily see this being that close
- 17:50Speaker 5: of a game, But I think there's plenty of quarterbacks
- 17:53Speaker 5: that he would be able to, maybe after a little
- 17:56Speaker 5: bit more than three practices, compete with that are still playing.
- 18:00Speaker 5: And even though he's forty four years old. And you know,
- 18:02Speaker 5: I mean he retired uh twenty twenty.
- 18:05Speaker 2: Season with practice, with some time, if he had a
- 18:09Speaker 2: full training camp, maybe maybe I give Philip Rivers a
- 18:12Speaker 2: chance to do that. Yeah, but to show up Wednesday
- 18:16Speaker 2: and be ready to face an NFL defense on Sunday.
- 18:20Speaker 2: Not to mention this defense.
- 18:22Speaker 7: On the road.
- 18:24Speaker 6: Yeah, As I said, any chance for flags on him,
- 18:28Speaker 6: just full flag and then he's down that way, you
- 18:32Speaker 6: don't injure him.
- 18:33Speaker 2: All right, let's find out what's on tap for the
- 18:35Speaker 2: show today.
- 18:38Speaker 3: What's on tip? What's on tap?
- 18:41Speaker 4: All right?
- 18:42Speaker 2: Hugh Millan will be with us today at nine o'clock
- 18:44Speaker 2: to do some ex's and o's regarding the Seahawks and
- 18:46Speaker 2: the Colts. Mike Holmgren will be with us today at
- 18:48Speaker 2: eight thirty, so we'll chat with him at a different
- 18:51Speaker 2: time today. Normally it's nine thirty. Today, we'll do it
- 18:54Speaker 2: at eight thirty. And Greg Bell will be with us
- 18:56Speaker 2: as well at seven oh fons we'll get the latest
- 18:59Speaker 2: information from him. Of course, he's already about thirty beers
- 19:02Speaker 2: in to his Army Navy weekend, and so it's always
- 19:06Speaker 2: interesting on Friday morning of Army Navy weekend to check
- 19:10Speaker 2: in with Greg. He usually has a bunch of Army
- 19:13Speaker 2: buddies with him in the car, and he's usually in
- 19:16Speaker 2: the best mood he's been in all year long. So
- 19:19Speaker 2: I'm looking forward to checking in with Greg from Baltimore
- 19:23Speaker 2: at seven oh five today. Heisman Trophy is going to
- 19:26Speaker 2: be announced Saturday as well. Kind of an interesting college
- 19:30Speaker 2: football triple header. Never really had this happen before. We've
- 19:34Speaker 2: never put a bowl game on the same day as
- 19:36Speaker 2: the Army Navy game. Just has never happened. And yet
- 19:40Speaker 2: we've got Army Navy and then you've got Heisman at
- 19:43Speaker 2: four o'clock, and then you've got the La Bowl featuring
- 19:45Speaker 2: the Huskies at five o'clock, all on Saturday. Sharon Moore
- 19:51Speaker 2: is still in jail and is not going to have
- 19:54Speaker 2: his court appearance until later on today. So obviously a
- 19:58Speaker 2: pretty serious sitch going on beyond just him losing his
- 20:03Speaker 2: job as the Michigan football coach.
- 20:05Speaker 3: Sharon Moore is.
- 20:08Speaker 2: I mean, I think he'd be out of jail right
- 20:10Speaker 2: now if this wasn't a serious charge. But obviously there's
- 20:14Speaker 2: something serious going on there with the now former Michigan coach.
- 20:17Speaker 2: We'll talk about this a little bit later on in
- 20:19Speaker 2: the show as well. It was a huge topic yesterday.
- 20:22Speaker 2: College Basketball dub takes on Southern Utah tomorrow at three o'clock.
- 20:27Speaker 2: I don't know how they threw a Southern Utah in
- 20:29Speaker 2: the middle of the Big Ten schedule. That just got going,
- 20:31Speaker 2: but that's the matchup. And of course, the Husky's coming
- 20:35Speaker 2: off a huge win over then undefeated USC on Saturday.
- 20:39Speaker 2: They haven't played a game since. Koogs will be in
- 20:41Speaker 2: action tomorrow, assuming on Sunday at four point thirty against
- 20:45Speaker 2: USC and the Zags playing Ucla tomorrow night. Kraken coming
- 20:49Speaker 2: off a win, we'll get ready to take on the
- 20:51Speaker 2: Mammoth in Utah. That will take place tonight. And of course,
- 20:56Speaker 2: if you haven't checked out the latest episode of Stove
- 20:58Speaker 2: with Anders Hurst and myself, it is available to you
- 21:01Speaker 2: at ninety three threekjr dot Com. We'll talk a little
- 21:04Speaker 2: bit about that as well later on in the program.
- 21:07Speaker 2: But coming up next in case you missed it, had
- 21:09Speaker 2: a great opportunity back Monday to talk to Chris Peterson
- 21:14Speaker 2: about the college football playoff and other things, and so
- 21:17Speaker 2: we're going to replay some of that just in case
- 21:19Speaker 2: you missed it. Right here on Chuck and Bucksports Radio
- 21:21Speaker 2: ninety three point three KJRFM. Good morning, it is Chuck
- 21:25Speaker 2: Obuck in the morning. It is a Football Friday sponsored
- 21:28Speaker 2: by Tito's Handmade Vodka, proud sponsor of the Seahawks, distilled
- 21:32Speaker 2: unbottled by Fifth Generation at Austin, Texas, forty percent alcohol
- 21:35Speaker 2: by volume, saver Responsibly, Ashley, Bucky and Chuck with you
- 21:39Speaker 2: here on this football Friday. Greg Bell joins us later
- 21:43Speaker 2: Mike Holmgren, Hugh millin our normal cast of experts as
- 21:47Speaker 2: we get you ready for the football weekend. But we're
- 21:50Speaker 2: gonna go all the way back to Monday, coming out
- 21:52Speaker 2: of the college football playoff announcements, where we had a
- 21:56Speaker 2: great opportunity to chat with former UDW head coach Chris p. Pteron,
- 22:00Speaker 2: who is now with Fox Sports, so is stayed in
- 22:04Speaker 2: the college football game, and he seemed like the perfect
- 22:07Speaker 2: guy to bring on to react to the college football playoff,
- 22:11Speaker 2: and we talked about other things with him as well,
- 22:14Speaker 2: And it seems like a wasted opportunity if we don't
- 22:16Speaker 2: replay some of that for you who some of you
- 22:19Speaker 2: who might have missed it, So in case you missed it,
- 22:21Speaker 2: our conversation with coach Peterson a few minutes from it,
- 22:25Speaker 2: and we are going to start with the drama. We
- 22:29Speaker 2: asked him about the drama in today's college game and
- 22:32Speaker 2: what changes he might make in order to stem some
- 22:36Speaker 2: of it.
- 22:36Speaker 4: You know, the Fansville commercial of doctor Pepper. Yeah, you know,
- 22:40Speaker 4: a couple of years ago, I just chuckled those commercials
- 22:42Speaker 4: and get a kick out of them. Now they're not
- 22:44Speaker 4: dramatic enough, like college football ahead of the fan though,
- 22:47Speaker 4: there's more drama going on in those than the commercial.
- 22:52Speaker 4: I think another thing. I think another thing that you know,
- 22:57Speaker 4: and again the networks would have to get on board
- 22:59Speaker 4: with it. But like I think the college football season
- 23:04Speaker 4: needs to start earlier. I think we need to start
- 23:08Speaker 4: in the you know, two weeks earlier in August. Everybody's
- 23:13Speaker 4: dying for football at that point anyways, And I really
- 23:16Speaker 4: think this whole thing needs to be done by early January.
- 23:20Speaker 4: January first, and for a couple of reasons. One then,
- 23:24Speaker 4: let the NFL go have their their Heyday. Don't compete
- 23:28Speaker 4: in there, you know. I the games were so spread
- 23:31Speaker 4: out last year that I kind of felt myself losing
- 23:34Speaker 4: a little interest in the college football playoffs, and and
- 23:37Speaker 4: you're putting, you know, the NFL playoffs in between. And
- 23:40Speaker 4: I'm more of a college football guy than I am
- 23:43Speaker 4: a NFL guy, but so that was a little awkward.
- 23:46Speaker 4: And then you can then also shift the academy, you know,
- 23:50Speaker 4: the football calendar around the academic calendar. I mean, it
- 23:53Speaker 4: is ridiculous that we're having coaches, you know, and it's
- 23:58Speaker 4: been going around for a while, but Lee their programs
- 24:01Speaker 4: that kids are opting out going into the transfer portal
- 24:04Speaker 4: while the season's still going on. So you got to
- 24:08Speaker 4: play the season, get that over with. Then you got
- 24:12Speaker 4: to sign your high school kids. Then after that you
- 24:15Speaker 4: can sign your portal guys. And there's going to probably
- 24:19Speaker 4: need to be some adjustments to springball. Although these coaches
- 24:22Speaker 4: are old school people and they don't like change and
- 24:25Speaker 4: they want that spring football how it's always been. But
- 24:29Speaker 4: I you know, I look at the NFL how they
- 24:31Speaker 4: do their quote spring football. It's later, it's not as
- 24:35Speaker 4: much pass, not as much contact. I mean, I see
- 24:38Speaker 4: that model. And then you know, the kids are all
- 24:41Speaker 4: here for the summer, the coaches are here. They can
- 24:43Speaker 4: now coach them in the summertime, so you kind of
- 24:46Speaker 4: just blend into that and so anyway, there's just so
- 24:49Speaker 4: many things that you're trying to figure out. It's it's
- 24:52Speaker 4: not it's unending.
- 24:53Speaker 2: Don't I know you don't want the job, but you
- 24:55Speaker 2: sound like a commissioner. Sound like you got some answers there.
- 24:58Speaker 2: Coach Peterson is this year on chucking buck in the morning.
- 25:03Speaker 2: I do want to ask you because well, I think
- 25:06Speaker 2: I already know the answer, but I want to hear
- 25:08Speaker 2: how you verbalize it. I'm sure you think Notre Dame
- 25:12Speaker 2: is not doing the right thing by announcing they're sitting
- 25:15Speaker 2: out the bulls.
- 25:16Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean again, here we go, Fansville. Right, We've
- 25:19Speaker 4: had like players coaches opting out, and now we've got
- 25:23Speaker 4: teams opting out. It's like, are we serious here? You
- 25:27Speaker 4: know you know what I think about I think about
- 25:30Speaker 4: BYU a little bit, because you know, here's the team
- 25:34Speaker 4: that got beat by the number four team in the
- 25:35Speaker 4: country twice, and they really haven't said a whole lot.
- 25:39Speaker 4: So the word on the three was that BYU was
- 25:42Speaker 4: gonna play Notre Dame in that pop tart bull which
- 25:44Speaker 4: would have been a really cool matchup. BYU can make
- 25:48Speaker 4: a case that two years in a row they've kind
- 25:50Speaker 4: of been snubbed a little bit, but they're gonna go
- 25:53Speaker 4: on and play. I mean, I don't know. This is
- 25:55Speaker 4: a hard one for me because I get the emotion
- 25:58Speaker 4: and how Notre Dame feels like they were so wronged,
- 26:02Speaker 4: but it also feels like, Okay, I'm going to take
- 26:04Speaker 4: my ball and go home now. And you guys said,
- 26:08Speaker 4: you know how I come, and I say, yes, I'm
- 26:10Speaker 4: still an old school guy that we're teaching. Like, you know,
- 26:14Speaker 4: there's so many things that this is why I love
- 26:16Speaker 4: football so much. It's like the trojan horse. It's the
- 26:19Speaker 4: trojan horse values that we're teaching. There's so much life
- 26:23Speaker 4: that we're still teaching through this game. And one of
- 26:26Speaker 4: those things are is like being extremely disappointed and things
- 26:31Speaker 4: don't go your way and you still got to figure
- 26:34Speaker 4: out how to do your best and navigate through that.
- 26:37Speaker 4: It's like, okay, so what now? What I mean, that's
- 26:42Speaker 4: what I think about, Like, Okay, this happened to us,
- 26:44Speaker 4: So what now? What are we going to go home?
- 26:46Speaker 4: Are we going to lay down? Are we going to respond?
- 26:49Speaker 4: And so I think about that. I think Notre Dame,
- 26:52Speaker 4: you know, is going to be really good next year.
- 26:54Speaker 4: And so you're kind of throwing all that away in
- 26:57Speaker 4: terms of practicing, putting a chip on your shoulder, go
- 27:00Speaker 4: out and prove it against a really good team and
- 27:02Speaker 4: set yourself up for next year. I understand both sides
- 27:06Speaker 4: of this. I would have loved to see them play
- 27:08Speaker 4: against BYU.
- 27:10Speaker 2: I would love to see you coach again. Are you
- 27:11Speaker 2: really not going to coach again? And it is like
- 27:13Speaker 2: Sandy Kofax hanging it up? I mean, you got something
- 27:15Speaker 2: left in the tank here, Peterson? Are you really done?
- 27:19Speaker 4: One of the things that I do now that I
- 27:23Speaker 4: really find a lot of probably joy purpose in. So
- 27:27Speaker 4: I'm not coaching on the sidelines, but I do. I
- 27:29Speaker 4: do some stuff with a handful of coaches, and so
- 27:34Speaker 4: I find a lot of purpose. Like all the things
- 27:36Speaker 4: that we're talking about here, help them coaches navigate this
- 27:40Speaker 4: really difficult arena that we're in right now, and it
- 27:44Speaker 4: is tricky, tough, and it's like it's really about it
- 27:47Speaker 4: comes back to ourselves, you know, with all the things
- 27:50Speaker 4: that are being thrown, how do we show up every day?
- 27:52Speaker 4: Is our best? You know? We put that always on
- 27:54Speaker 4: our kids. We demand so much out of the kids
- 27:56Speaker 4: and the players and expect them to bring their best
- 27:59Speaker 4: energy their best face, focused day in and day out,
- 28:02Speaker 4: but half the time we don't show up as our
- 28:03Speaker 4: best because this arena is so like twenty four seven
- 28:08Speaker 4: three sixty five, and it squeezes us and narrows us
- 28:11Speaker 4: and makes us not our best but our worst version
- 28:14Speaker 4: in some cases. And so I find a lot of
- 28:17Speaker 4: purpose in helping coaches navigate that. And I think the
- 28:21Speaker 4: bottom line is that and this is why I stepped
- 28:24Speaker 4: away when I was trying to really get clarity on
- 28:26Speaker 4: this whole thing that I had this beautiful job at
- 28:29Speaker 4: you Dub but wasn't happy. And I think I've just
- 28:32Speaker 4: come to the conclusion that I love football. I love teaching, coaching,
- 28:36Speaker 4: leading all those type of things and helping people navigate that.
- 28:40Speaker 4: But when you jump back in to that arena and
- 28:43Speaker 4: stand on the sidelines, you live a very, very narrow life.
- 28:47Speaker 4: That is what you do twenty four seven three sixty five.
- 28:51Speaker 4: And at this point in my life, I just don't
- 28:53Speaker 4: want to.
- 28:54Speaker 2: Live that narrow Chris Peterson with us earlier this week.
- 28:57Speaker 3: He was great.
- 28:57Speaker 2: If you want to hear the entire interview, do so
- 28:59Speaker 2: at ninety three three Kjar dot com. And I think
- 29:02Speaker 2: this probably needs to be said at a public service announcement.
- 29:05Speaker 2: Because we spent a lot of time Ashley and I
- 29:06Speaker 2: yesterday railing on coaches in college football for their lack
- 29:11Speaker 2: of commitment to their contracts and the people that they've
- 29:14Speaker 2: convinced to trust them. So we spent a lot of
- 29:18Speaker 2: time railing on this. So this Michigan thing pops up,
- 29:21Speaker 2: and every single former UDUB head coach apparently is in
- 29:25Speaker 2: the running for Yah for the job, I mean Debor
- 29:28Speaker 2: and Fish and didn't hear Sark.
- 29:30Speaker 3: Maybe I didn't hear Sark Dick Baird.
- 29:32Speaker 2: I think Dick Baird got mentioned yesterday. So every single coach,
- 29:36Speaker 2: it seems like, associated with Washington, including Chris Peterson that's
- 29:40Speaker 2: actually true, was being linked to the Michigan job. And
- 29:43Speaker 2: so we kind of went off on coaching yesterday. And
- 29:47Speaker 2: it's unfair because Caitlin Debor has shot it completely down,
- 29:54Speaker 2: and even though we haven't really heard Jed shoot it
- 29:57Speaker 2: completely down. I think he's tired of con instantly having
- 30:00Speaker 2: announced that he's going to stay at you Dub, and
- 30:04Speaker 2: so maybe he was rolling his eyes all day yesterday
- 30:08Speaker 2: and then you just said, Chris Peterson, he has no
- 30:10Speaker 2: interest in coaching anywhere I don't care how prestigious that
- 30:13Speaker 2: the program is. He could be coaching in the NFL.
- 30:16Speaker 3: Right now if he wanted to.
- 30:17Speaker 2: He could be coaching any number of programs. And so
- 30:21Speaker 2: we run with rumors and then we talk about them
- 30:25Speaker 2: as talk show hosts. And I think that that's in bounds,
- 30:28Speaker 2: and I think that Jetfish's history, he's earned that. But
- 30:32Speaker 2: the truth of the matter is, we talk about these
- 30:34Speaker 2: rumors and then you have Chris Peterson saying that's ridiculous.
- 30:37Speaker 2: I'm not coaching anywhere, and you get it actually from
- 30:40Speaker 2: the horse's mouth. So you know, let's spend I just
- 30:43Speaker 2: wanted to spend thirty seconds saying it's Jetfish. Kaylin de
- 30:47Speaker 2: Boor and Chris Peterson have no like immediate link to
- 30:52Speaker 2: this job. Their names just came up in rumors.
- 30:57Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, that would be a good fit.
- 30:59Speaker 2: The national thoughts seemed like that makes sense.
- 31:01Speaker 3: Yep, right.
- 31:02Speaker 5: I mean Chris Peterson's he loved his job, or he
- 31:06Speaker 5: loved where he was at a situation here, he just
- 31:09Speaker 5: wanted to stop being having to be so singularly focused
- 31:12Speaker 5: just doing the job that he just explained perfectly, you'd
- 31:16Speaker 5: basically do nothing about that job that's it, and it's
- 31:19Speaker 5: just is. While it's wonderful and beautiful for a period
- 31:23Speaker 5: of your life, there's He's not the only coach that
- 31:25Speaker 5: probably feels that some of them may be sticking out
- 31:28Speaker 5: beyond and wish that they would have shut it down
- 31:30Speaker 5: and stopped being, you know, kind of a slave to
- 31:33Speaker 5: that routine a little bit more than they are sooner
- 31:36Speaker 5: than they actually do. Once you basically jump ship for
- 31:40Speaker 5: something that you find better Calan to War did it
- 31:43Speaker 5: you know Jedfish has done it, then you're automatically going
- 31:47Speaker 5: to be linked if you're also considered a good coach, Yes, exactly.
- 31:50Speaker 5: So it's kind of if Jedfish worry about it, it
- 31:53Speaker 5: should be h I mean, if if your name never
- 31:56Speaker 5: came up, like I wonder if this guy, this guy's
- 31:59Speaker 5: a good fit. If it never came up, then you're
- 32:01Speaker 5: probably not doing a real good job coaching. And so
- 32:04Speaker 5: to some degree take it as a compliment. And at
- 32:07Speaker 5: the same time, if you there's part of that that's
- 32:09Speaker 5: annoying because you get you hear the question is, so
- 32:12Speaker 5: you're gonna leave again? If you hear it like, well,
- 32:15Speaker 5: you've left places, yes, deal with it.
- 32:17Speaker 3: You've earned that record.
- 32:18Speaker 5: Yes, I mean I don't understand where the ruffled feathers
- 32:22Speaker 5: comes from, you know. To me, Like I said, it's
- 32:24Speaker 5: a there's a compliment, complimentary part of it, and then
- 32:27Speaker 5: there's another part of it. If you don't like it,
- 32:29Speaker 5: it's because that's you.
- 32:30Speaker 3: You've done that well.
- 32:32Speaker 2: They are calling it the LA Bowl, it really is
- 32:34Speaker 2: the Chris Peterson Bowl. It's Boise State versus Washington Saturday
- 32:38Speaker 2: at five o'clock. So if you want to check out
- 32:41Speaker 2: the Chris Peterson Bowl, We've got bowl season starting and
- 32:45Speaker 2: ending for you, dub this Saturday, all right, coming up next.
- 32:48Speaker 2: We do it every Friday before a Seahawks game. It's
- 32:51Speaker 2: no cliche. Keys to Victory on Chuck and Buck Sports
- 32:53Speaker 2: Radio ninety three point three KJRFM. We go round the
- 32:57Speaker 2: room here every Friday at six forty five, six fifty
- 33:01Speaker 2: to discuss our keys to victory for the Seahawks. But
- 33:05Speaker 2: we cannot use cliches like all three faces win the
- 33:10Speaker 2: turnover battle, winning the trenches.
- 33:13Speaker 4: You know.
- 33:14Speaker 2: You know, So, Bucky, where are we gonna go?
- 33:17Speaker 5: This one seems pretty easy? I mean, Jonathan Taylor just
- 33:21Speaker 5: I mean, you trust your dbs, you trust your secondary
- 33:24Speaker 5: that they're going to be able to do what they
- 33:26Speaker 5: have been doing against all NFL quarterbacks. As far as
- 33:30Speaker 5: kind of holding the passing game down, you just can't
- 33:33Speaker 5: let I mean, if there is one thing you have
- 33:36Speaker 5: to be somewhat concerned about, it's that the NFL's leading
- 33:39Speaker 5: rusher is coming into town and you let him get loose.
- 33:42Speaker 5: He can he can take it to the house, he
- 33:44Speaker 5: can grind it out. Twenty five thirty carries a game.
- 33:48Speaker 5: You have to basically just commit to that. Dude's not
- 33:51Speaker 5: beating us. If Philip Rivers comes off of his high
- 33:54Speaker 5: school coaching sideline and does something spectacular, or or you
- 33:59Speaker 5: cough up the ball and give them an opportunity, then
- 34:02Speaker 5: you know that's how sports work sometimes. But you just
- 34:05Speaker 5: flat out can't let that part of the game plan.
- 34:07Speaker 5: They're coming in saying, come on, Jonathan, carry us, we
- 34:11Speaker 5: need you, and he's gonna run as hard as he
- 34:14Speaker 5: possibly can. You gotta make it uphill sled in every
- 34:16Speaker 5: single second.
- 34:17Speaker 2: Even rushing champions against stack boxes in the National Football
- 34:21Speaker 2: League have a hard time being successful. So that's what
- 34:24Speaker 2: I would imagine. Jonathan Taylor's gonna face. He's gonna face
- 34:27Speaker 2: like thirteen men in the box.
- 34:28Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 34:29Speaker 2: Yeah, so that's that's that's how difficult of a day.
- 34:33Speaker 2: I mean, if yeah, I can he's good. They've got
- 34:36Speaker 2: some good players. They have some really good players on
- 34:38Speaker 2: the Indianapolis Colts team, and he's maybe the best of them.
- 34:41Speaker 2: All Right, Ashley, what do you go for your no
- 34:42Speaker 2: cliche key?
- 34:43Speaker 7: Yeah, that was gonna be mine as well.
- 34:45Speaker 6: Just I mean, we talked about him the other day
- 34:47Speaker 6: and just going over his numbers and the games that
- 34:49Speaker 6: he you know, the wins and these stats where he's
- 34:51Speaker 6: been successful and the losses where they've kept him under
- 34:54Speaker 6: eighty yards. So you hold him under eighty yards and
- 34:57Speaker 6: you should be pretty much we're not worrying about a win.
- 35:01Speaker 7: I mean it should be, especially considering what we're.
- 35:04Speaker 6: Dealing with in the passing game from them and the
- 35:07Speaker 6: uncertainty with Philip Rivers. If you can keep Jonathan Taylor
- 35:10Speaker 6: under eighty yards, it should be smooth sailing.
- 35:12Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm gonna say cliche, but I'm going to defend it.
- 35:15Speaker 2: It's the trenches. It's in the trenches that's the key.
- 35:18Speaker 2: And the reason that I'm saying it is the key
- 35:21Speaker 2: is because I don't think Indianapolis has anything else. Again,
- 35:26Speaker 2: I might be the most extreme with my doubt as
- 35:29Speaker 2: to whether or not Philip Rivers can do this on Sunday,
- 35:33Speaker 2: but that's where I'm at. Yeah, And so to me,
- 35:36Speaker 2: they're going to try to run the ball all day
- 35:38Speaker 2: long with Jonathan Taylor, and they're going to when he
- 35:43Speaker 2: does throw, they're gonna throw really.
- 35:45Speaker 3: Quick, real short, real short.
- 35:49Speaker 2: Run after the catch, Tyler, get it to Tyler Warren
- 35:52Speaker 2: at the line of scrimmage, get it to Michael Pittman
- 35:55Speaker 2: at the line of scrimmage. That's the offense that they're
- 35:58Speaker 2: going to go with. So I think you only have
- 36:01Speaker 2: like two yards to defend.
- 36:03Speaker 7: I think that's fair.
- 36:05Speaker 2: I think the trenches is all you have to defend.
- 36:09Speaker 2: And if you give Mike McDonald that game plan, how
- 36:13Speaker 2: on earth does he not succeed with flying colors.
- 36:16Speaker 7: I would assume he would.
- 36:17Speaker 2: So that's gonna be my key, Just defend the trenches. Yeah,
- 36:21Speaker 2: And I just can't imagine Philip Rivers can beat you
- 36:25Speaker 2: over the top.
- 36:25Speaker 3: I just can't imagine it.
