- 3:02Speaker 1: how much are you looking forward to on a scale

- 3:11Speaker 1: I've got some concerns. He goes seven. That's amazing, you're
- 3:16Speaker 1: that excited. I'm like, you should be a fun trip.
- 3:19Speaker 1: How can we not make this a fun trip. We're
- 3:21Speaker 1: gonna be there talking football, hanging out with co workers
- 3:25Speaker 1: and an extended which we never get to do.
- 3:27Speaker 4: You guys are going to be in a house together.
- 3:29Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 3:30Speaker 4: I still stand by though it needs a live stream.
- 3:32Speaker 1: I mean there's a chance it's a disaster. I mean
- 3:35Speaker 1: everything that we do could end up being a disaster.
- 3:37Speaker 1: I don't know. But yeah, just for the idea of
- 3:40Speaker 1: getting on the road with your buddy slash co workers
- 3:44Speaker 1: and sharing a space and doing shows and getting ready
- 3:48Speaker 1: for the super Bowl. It should be fun.
- 3:51Speaker 4: It's an adventure.
- 3:52Speaker 1: It's going to be fun. Yeah.
- 3:53Speaker 3: I mean I have one concern, but other than that,
- 3:55Speaker 3: I have no other concerns. It's gonna be great.
- 3:57Speaker 4: I think one concern is not bad.
- 3:59Speaker 1: Yeah, no one, you got to deal with several concerns,
- 4:01Speaker 1: but I don't. It will overcome it.
- 4:04Speaker 3: It's far as all the actual the work part of it,
- 4:07Speaker 3: Like Radio Row I've never done. You've done how many
- 4:09Speaker 3: shoot bows? Six seven, twenty seven, thirty two? Yeah, you've
- 4:14Speaker 3: been there, done that.
- 4:15Speaker 4: So he's been there, done that sixty I'm.
- 4:17Speaker 3: Actually really looking forward to the whole thing, like just
- 4:21Speaker 3: the entire spectacle that comes with it, right, I mean
- 4:25Speaker 3: Radio Row. I have never been to anything that's remotely
- 4:28Speaker 3: close to that. I have a feeling that there could
- 4:31Speaker 3: be some parts of it that get annoying, I would imagine,
- 4:36Speaker 3: But at the same time, you just got to take
- 4:37Speaker 3: the the things that are different. I mean we kind
- 4:40Speaker 3: of all get stuck, especially with this time slot. You
- 4:43Speaker 3: kind of get in your routine. I mean, mine is
- 4:45Speaker 3: step by step, the exact same thing every single morning.
- 4:47Speaker 4: I was just thinking that on my way, that's not.
- 4:49Speaker 1: Going to be the same thing.
- 4:51Speaker 3: And yet I'm also one that I feel like I
- 4:53Speaker 3: can adapt, okay and do it. So I think we're
- 4:55Speaker 3: going to kill it. As far as going down there,
- 4:58Speaker 3: I mean, there's be a lot of people there that
- 4:59Speaker 3: are just coming their national radio people or whatever. We're
- 5:03Speaker 3: gonna be coming down there. This is the team we cover.
- 5:05Speaker 3: We're gonna be able to, you know, kind of see
- 5:08Speaker 3: it up close and personal. We're gonna be able to
- 5:09Speaker 3: talk to a lot of the players and get some
- 5:11Speaker 3: inside information for a week leading up to the biggest
- 5:14Speaker 3: game of their lives. And I think it's gonna be
- 5:17Speaker 3: I think it's gonna be fun. I mean, I'm really
- 5:19Speaker 3: looking forward to it.
- 5:20Speaker 1: People are gonna want us to be guests on their
- 5:22Speaker 1: show because we are from the city as one of
- 5:25Speaker 1: the two Yeah, one of the two teams, So there'll
- 5:29Speaker 1: be that too. Yeah.
- 5:31Speaker 3: So like paparazzi and stuff.
- 5:33Speaker 4: They are smile posts, so we.
- 5:37Speaker 3: Gotta get shades to block the camera flashes. Should I
- 5:42Speaker 3: wear by bedazzle jeans then I them?
- 5:46Speaker 1: Okay, I mean maybe maybe just see Monday how it goes.
- 5:50Speaker 1: And then Tuesday, maybe Cracker.
- 5:52Speaker 3: You think, Okay, what do you think about wearing something
- 5:55Speaker 3: other than the flip flops I've worn every day?
- 5:59Speaker 1: You think so, I don't think so yourself, myself, not.
- 6:03Speaker 4: Wear the pants that fall down if you don't hold
- 6:05Speaker 4: them up.
- 6:05Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I won't wear those again until I get
- 6:09Speaker 3: that draw. And that was a very uncomfortable day for me.
- 6:12Speaker 3: I was just walking around here. Literally at any step
- 6:15Speaker 3: I could just flash the world.
- 6:17Speaker 4: Yeah for me too.
- 6:20Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 6:21Speaker 3: Well, after I told you, She's like, I'm just gonna
- 6:23Speaker 3: look down, and like, don't look down. I was, I'm like,
- 6:27Speaker 3: don't you just don't walk near me.
- 6:29Speaker 5: Because if I looked up, I would notice if I
- 6:31Speaker 5: saw something drop, whereas if I looked at the ground,
- 6:34Speaker 5: I'd see nothing.
- 6:35Speaker 1: Beneath the ball, Yes, exactly. In case he lowers the bar,
- 6:39Speaker 1: it doesn't matter, because I'm looking.
- 6:41Speaker 4: Back, I'm already below it.
- 6:42Speaker 1: Yeah, I will.
- 6:44Speaker 5: Say, I think the thing that is very cool for
- 6:46Speaker 5: next week too, and just in our you know, planning
- 6:48Speaker 5: meetings and talking yesterday like the regular guests we have
- 6:53Speaker 5: that we'll get to actually be sat with.
- 6:55Speaker 4: You guys, to talk with you guys.
- 6:56Speaker 5: I mean that'll that's always a little added extra element
- 7:00Speaker 5: of fun.
- 7:01Speaker 1: I think Hasselbeck might be he's.
- 7:03Speaker 5: Gonna be down there, So we're gonna try to have
- 7:05Speaker 5: him join you guys at least once and then sitting
- 7:09Speaker 5: with you guys.
- 7:09Speaker 4: I think on most mornings.
- 7:11Speaker 1: There'll be a few. Uh he's gonna have I mean,
- 7:13Speaker 1: they put stuff all over the place, like there are
- 7:15Speaker 1: press conferences for five straight days, different things being featured.
- 7:20Speaker 1: So yeah, so he's I don't know how that will
- 7:23Speaker 1: work out, but yeah, there's a good chance he can
- 7:25Speaker 1: be with us.
- 7:26Speaker 4: The buzz is very loud.
- 7:28Speaker 1: Yeah, Hugh, he's going to be there. That'll be awesome.
- 7:31Speaker 1: And then, uh, you know, Nickerson needs to get there.
- 7:34Speaker 1: I don't know if I doubt he will, but he
- 7:36Speaker 1: needs to get there. He's gonna be on tomorrow.
- 7:38Speaker 3: He's busy being jokey boy. Yeah, around the country.
- 7:42Speaker 1: A jokey boy. There's a good a lot of people there.
- 7:45Speaker 1: I'm sure there's a laugh shack in Santa Clay's true.
- 7:49Speaker 5: Just post up on radio row and start telling jokes.
- 7:52Speaker 1: A bad idea. We shall see.
- 7:54Speaker 5: Uh.
- 7:54Speaker 1: But anyway, the plans have been made and uh, it's
- 7:58Speaker 1: going to be exciting and we've got twelve days to
- 8:01Speaker 1: set this thing up. Tee, this thing up. It's it
- 8:04Speaker 1: is fun. Turns out it's fun for all of those
- 8:07Speaker 1: so you know, all those Packer fans that are listening
- 8:11Speaker 1: or Lions fans that might be listening. Turns out it's
- 8:14Speaker 1: fun to be in the Super Bowl.
- 8:16Speaker 4: Yeah, we should have tried this like last year and
- 8:18Speaker 4: the year before.
- 8:20Speaker 1: I enjoy it. We've got some cash to give away today.
- 8:23Speaker 1: Your cash contest. Keyword to start the day is pay pa.
- 8:27Speaker 1: Why go aheading into that at ninety three to three
- 8:29Speaker 1: KJR dot com for your shot at one thousand dollars
- 8:33Speaker 1: in Powerplay cash. Pay is your keyword used in a sentence.
- 8:38Speaker 1: I may pay people during the course of the next
- 8:43Speaker 1: two weeks not to talk about Sam Darnold. Okay, Yeah,
- 8:47Speaker 1: good idea, because I'm telling you, I mean, I realize,
- 8:51Speaker 1: I mean it's a it's a statement that has kind
- 8:53Speaker 1: of echoed. It was the lead story on several different
- 8:57Speaker 1: websites yesterday and stayed there out the course of the day,
- 9:01Speaker 1: even though Mike McDonald said it on Sunday night. I
- 9:04Speaker 1: hope this silence is a lot of Sam Donald's critics. Well,
- 9:09Speaker 1: you can open one hand coach and you can know
- 9:12Speaker 1: what in the other and so it just hasn't. I mean,
- 9:16Speaker 1: I woke up Sunday morning thinking that the one of
- 9:20Speaker 1: the loudmouths that does shows on our drive in would
- 9:25Speaker 1: kind of admit to it. Nope. His take was, yeah,
- 9:28Speaker 1: he's gonna silence me if he wins one more game. Wow. Yeah. Yeah,
- 9:34Speaker 1: So he has to win the Super Bowl in order
- 9:36Speaker 1: to get the critics off his back about being a
- 9:39Speaker 1: really good quarterback. So then there was that. Then I
- 9:43Speaker 1: drove home and whoever Mark James had on, he was
- 9:47Speaker 1: of course talking about that the Seahawks should win this thing,
- 9:50Speaker 1: and of course Sam Donald's interceptions are a big so
- 9:54Speaker 1: in silence that guy. Then I went and took my
- 9:57Speaker 1: nap and I woke up from that, and then they
- 10:00Speaker 1: somebody on one of the talking head shows and he's
- 10:02Speaker 1: apparently an analytical expert, and his take first thing that
- 10:06Speaker 1: I hear after I wake up, don't even go get
- 10:09Speaker 1: my afternoon coffee. Yet he says, well, Seahawks are the favorites,
- 10:13Speaker 1: but of course the statistics show that Sam Donald is
- 10:18Speaker 1: just not very good when he gets hit in the pocket.
- 10:22Speaker 1: So there you go. So it ends silence I mean,
- 10:24Speaker 1: I think it hass silence some I think it has
- 10:27Speaker 1: I think there are some people that kind of have
- 10:30Speaker 1: copped to it, But no, I mean I think that
- 10:34Speaker 1: we are just in a world where people have been
- 10:36Speaker 1: given stages and platforms and microphones who can't walk back
- 10:41Speaker 1: from a bad take. I think that's just where we are.
- 10:45Speaker 1: And those that said Sam Donald sucked five years ago
- 10:48Speaker 1: are just gonna hold to it and that's all there
- 10:51Speaker 1: is to it. And so that's the world that we
- 10:54Speaker 1: live in. And I don't put it on Sam Donald
- 10:57Speaker 1: that he's got to win the super Bowl to justify
- 10:59Speaker 1: my confident. I don't put that on him. But nonetheless,
- 11:03Speaker 1: that's just the world that we're in. So Mike McDonald,
- 11:06Speaker 1: I appreciate you sticking up for your quarterback, not making
- 11:10Speaker 1: an issue during the course of the season, but once
- 11:12Speaker 1: he played a game like that making that statement that
- 11:15Speaker 1: I think it fell on a lot of deaf ears.
- 11:18Speaker 3: Well, I mean, it's it's Mike McDonald made the statement.
- 11:21Speaker 3: Sam Donald doesn't actually pay it much credence, but you know,
- 11:25Speaker 3: he hears it. Writer has read about it and notices that.
- 11:29Speaker 3: I mean, but then again, he did hear it. He
- 11:31Speaker 3: did read about it when he first came into the league,
- 11:33Speaker 3: and so the first impression was, you're not good enough
- 11:35Speaker 3: at this level. Okay, well, I just would ask any
- 11:38Speaker 3: of those talking heads or anybody out there when you
- 11:41Speaker 3: were twenty years old, were you as good at your
- 11:43Speaker 3: profession as you were ever going to be? Probably not right,
- 11:46Speaker 3: and if you were, you maybe should get a more
- 11:49Speaker 3: difficult profession.
- 11:50Speaker 1: Are your Hayley Joel Osmond?
- 11:52Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, okay, yeah, sure and so and I suppose
- 11:56Speaker 3: it can go downhill for some, but for the most part,
- 11:59Speaker 3: especially an athletic, you're never going to perfect the craft.
- 12:02Speaker 3: You're never going to be perfect. I mean, Tom Brady
- 12:05Speaker 3: didn't win the Super Bowl his last year, and yet
- 12:08Speaker 3: he's pretty much widely celebrated as the most accomplished best
- 12:12Speaker 3: quarterback to ever play the game. And yet it's like,
- 12:15Speaker 3: if you don't win the last game of the season,
- 12:17Speaker 3: if you don't win the Super Bowl, there's some sort
- 12:19Speaker 3: of failure on top of it. I mean, this is
- 12:21Speaker 3: Sam Dart, however you want to look at it. It's perspective.
- 12:25Speaker 3: It's his first year in Seattle, first year we clicked Kubiak,
- 12:28Speaker 3: It's really its second year in a row. Now, that
- 12:31Speaker 3: he's been a starter since back when he was drafted
- 12:34Speaker 3: by the Jets, so he's got two years of starting
- 12:37Speaker 3: under his belt. And he floundered by being harassed by
- 12:40Speaker 3: the Rams in last year's postseason game and scuffled, right,
- 12:45Speaker 3: But I mean, who doesn't when you get sacked nine times?
- 12:47Speaker 3: What quarterback has a great game when you're being harassed
- 12:50Speaker 3: like that? And then this year it comes back with
- 12:53Speaker 3: all the doubters all season long, some that I just
- 12:56Speaker 3: can't even believe that they have a microphone to just
- 13:02Speaker 3: blab about their opinions about People have been talking about
- 13:05Speaker 3: how it wasn't good enough, and yet the first half
- 13:08Speaker 3: of the season this offense was unbelievable. And then yes,
- 13:11Speaker 3: it went into a little bit of a part where
- 13:15Speaker 3: it wasn't maybe clicking on all cylinders. People were figuring
- 13:18Speaker 3: out what it was they were trying to do, what
- 13:19Speaker 3: Clint Kubak's game plan was. You weren't running the ball
- 13:23Speaker 3: as effectively for sure, and yet the defense then was like,
- 13:27Speaker 3: that's cool, we got you, and you just kept winning.
- 13:30Speaker 3: And then when it came down to crunch time, go
- 13:31Speaker 3: back to basically that Rams game when it was like, boy,
- 13:34Speaker 3: the number one seed and winning the division, all the
- 13:36Speaker 3: stuff's on the line. He has tightened it up since then.
- 13:39Speaker 3: It still hasn't been perfect, but he's tightened it up,
- 13:41Speaker 3: and he hasn't made the catastrophic turnovers. And then when
- 13:44Speaker 3: you get into the playoffs, you're playing against so far
- 13:47Speaker 3: two of your division rivals, So there's the added stress
- 13:51Speaker 3: that comes along with that. They know you as well
- 13:52Speaker 3: as anybody's going to know you. You're playing them three
- 13:54Speaker 3: different three times or for the third time each team
- 13:57Speaker 3: for the third time in the season, and you do
- 13:59Speaker 3: it flawlessly pretty much. I mean, I wouldn't say flawless
- 14:02Speaker 3: like you were perfect, but you didn't make any catastrophic mistakes,
- 14:06Speaker 3: no turnovers, and and not putting the ball in harm's
- 14:11Speaker 3: way with the exception of a couple of times, butches
- 14:13Speaker 3: somewhat understandable. I just don't I really don't understand how
- 14:16Speaker 3: you can't have a perspective of I might have been
- 14:19Speaker 3: a little bit wrong about this guy, and that's okay.
- 14:22Speaker 1: And by the way, I think that it should be
- 14:24Speaker 1: worth noting that he had the fumbled snap and that
- 14:27Speaker 1: was his fault. I mean, it wasn't a great snap,
- 14:30Speaker 1: but he took his eye off of it. Yeah, if
- 14:31Speaker 1: you remember in the shotgun, and then he threw that
- 14:34Speaker 1: one ball into complete traffic. And this is a statistic
- 14:37Speaker 1: that Hughes pointed out throughout the course of the season.
- 14:40Speaker 1: You are going to make plays that give the defense
- 14:45Speaker 1: a chance to turn it, make turn it into a turnover.
- 14:49Speaker 1: And his analytical statistics said throughout the course of the year,
- 14:56Speaker 1: and this if if you couldn't catch it, because you
- 14:58Speaker 1: throws a lot of stuff at you throws a lot
- 14:59Speaker 1: of number. He was saying this all season long. He
- 15:02Speaker 1: had the worst luck statistically in the entire National Football
- 15:06Speaker 1: League of the percentage of balls that he put in
- 15:11Speaker 1: Harm's way were actually capitalized on. And that doesn't happen
- 15:15Speaker 1: to every quarterback. I mean, I think Josh Allen's the
- 15:18Speaker 1: best quarterback in the world. And I know he got
- 15:21Speaker 1: knocked out in the second round of the playoffs this year,
- 15:24Speaker 1: I still think he's I know that Patrick Mahomes has
- 15:27Speaker 1: won three Super Bowls. For goodness sake, I think Josh
- 15:30Speaker 1: Allen right now is the best quarterback in the world.
- 15:33Speaker 1: Nobody puts the ball at more risk, more frequently than
- 15:35Speaker 1: what Josh Allen does. And yet because he makes so
- 15:39Speaker 1: many spectacular plays that other guys can't make that he
- 15:43Speaker 1: makes up for it. And that's the way Sam Darnold
- 15:47Speaker 1: played this year. And he certainly didn't play scared, and
- 15:50Speaker 1: he let it rip, and his coaches wanted him to
- 15:52Speaker 1: let it rip. And in letting it rip, yeah, you
- 15:54Speaker 1: are going to put the ball in harm's way a
- 15:56Speaker 1: little more frequently. He certainly did not play the season
- 15:59Speaker 1: air or free. He certainly didn't have a good game
- 16:02Speaker 1: every single time that he went out this year. But
- 16:05Speaker 1: my goodness, sixteen and three, yeah, and headed to the
- 16:08Speaker 1: Super Bowl fourteen and three and back to back years.
- 16:12Speaker 1: I mean, he's doing a lot. Right. If we lose
- 16:15Speaker 1: the Super Bowl, my bet is I'm not saying that
- 16:19Speaker 1: it won't happen, but my bet is Sam Darnold's not
- 16:23Speaker 1: going to be the reason.
- 16:24Speaker 5: Well, and I was gonna say that's the thing that
- 16:26Speaker 5: frustrates me is you look at last week's game against
- 16:28Speaker 5: the forty nine ers, right, and he and we talked
- 16:31Speaker 5: about how people were well, he only threw for one
- 16:33Speaker 5: hundred and twenty four yards and.
- 16:34Speaker 4: Blah blah blah blah. He didn't win the game. The
- 16:36Speaker 4: defense won the game.
- 16:37Speaker 5: You're right, the defense was the main reason why we
- 16:40Speaker 5: won that game. But then you go to this week
- 16:43Speaker 5: and the defense needed some help, and what happened.
- 16:45Speaker 4: Sam stepped up through three touchdowns and made it happen.
- 16:49Speaker 5: So maybe I don't know, crazy thought. It takes an
- 16:53Speaker 5: entire team to win a football game.
- 16:55Speaker 1: Tom Brady always had good defenses. Yeah no, he didn't
- 16:58Speaker 1: always had a good offensive line.
- 17:00Speaker 5: They all have to play their party, and not every
- 17:02Speaker 5: game is going to be won the same way.
- 17:04Speaker 4: But there's a reason. There's a saying that says a
- 17:06Speaker 4: win is a win is a win.
- 17:08Speaker 5: You take what you get, you take what the other
- 17:10Speaker 5: team's giving you, and you adapt and you make it work.
- 17:12Speaker 1: Well, we've said it for several weeks in a row,
- 17:15Speaker 1: practically every day on this show. Or I have I
- 17:19Speaker 1: like our quarterback as you, and I'm glad that fourteen
- 17:24Speaker 1: is playing for the Seahawks. Yes, and I have every
- 17:26Speaker 1: confidence he's going to get the job done again this week.
- 17:30Speaker 1: And yet I'm gonna have to obviously repeat this for
- 17:33Speaker 1: the next twelve straight days because it continues to be
- 17:36Speaker 1: a topic of conversation. But yeah, so be it. Hey
- 17:42Speaker 1: going to the Super Bowl, right, Yeah, we're going to
- 17:45Speaker 1: the super Bowl. That's right, going to the Super Bowl
- 17:47Speaker 1: led by Sam Darnold as the quarterback. All right, let's
- 17:50Speaker 1: find out what's on tap for the rest of today's
- 17:53Speaker 1: radio show. What's on TEP? What's ontep? Okay twelve days
- 17:59Speaker 1: and Hill super Bowl sixty And is Jeane Sterrator going
- 18:03Speaker 1: to be one of the people that's going to show
- 18:05Speaker 1: up at the Super He should?
- 18:06Speaker 4: I wish he does football.
- 18:08Speaker 1: Celebrity type and I know that they don't have I
- 18:10Speaker 1: know CBS does not have the game that's going to
- 18:12Speaker 1: be NBC. Uh, but I think a lot of people
- 18:16Speaker 1: would like to have Gene on their radio shows. I
- 18:18Speaker 1: would agree might be the reason why he doesn't go.
- 18:20Speaker 4: Yeah that's awesome.
- 18:21Speaker 3: Yeah, welleah, hebby wants to just sit and enjoy the
- 18:25Speaker 3: big game with his family. Scenes how I don't think
- 18:27Speaker 3: he watched one game with any of his friends or family.
- 18:29Speaker 3: I was going to say, I know, working every week.
- 18:31Speaker 5: He texted me yesterday, just gotten back from Denver and
- 18:33Speaker 5: his house had twenty seven inches of snow.
- 18:36Speaker 1: Oh wow wow.

- 18:54Speaker 1: Uh, Will anybody actually want to participate in the snowball
- 18:58Speaker 1: fight or will they just want to officiated? Yeah?

- 19:16Speaker 1: the other people in the neighborhood.
- 19:17Speaker 5: And talk snowball fight, talking about the rules of the
- 19:20Speaker 5: snowball fight. If they were to have one, you got
- 19:22Speaker 5: to set up the rules.
- 19:24Speaker 1: The carrot and that snowman's face is way too long
- 19:28Speaker 1: beyond regulation. That's a flag. Yep, you've overcarred a loss
- 19:32Speaker 1: of down. That's fifteen yards and a loss of down.
- 19:36Speaker 1: All right, So he's gonna join us today at eight o'clock.

- 20:35Speaker 1: tickets to see an upcoming Seattle Cracking game. I'm looking
- 20:39Speaker 1: for the email that says which game is there? It is, yes, Okay,
- 20:43Speaker 1: finally found it. There are a lot of emails going
- 20:45Speaker 1: around this week, A lot like too many emails going
- 20:48Speaker 1: around this week. Don't expect me to read them all.
- 20:51Speaker 4: It's a little hard to keep track.
- 20:52Speaker 5: Of but the game is the twenty eighth, February twenty
- 20:55Speaker 5: eighth against the canuckt Yeah.
- 20:56Speaker 1: I've computer picked a great time to slowly call up

- 21:13Speaker 1: prompt you to call to be listening for that every
- 21:16Speaker 1: hour throughout the course of the day. And apparently the
- 21:18Speaker 1: stove is frozen again. Apparently a lot of players just
- 21:22Speaker 1: are going to put it off till April fifth before
- 21:25Speaker 1: they sign. So not a lot to report on that end,
- 21:28Speaker 1: but at some point, at some point, we're just two
- 21:30Speaker 1: weeks two and a half weeks from pitchers and catchers reporting,
- 21:33Speaker 1: by the way, yeah, which is crazy. N right, we're
- 21:38Speaker 1: going to get back I mean the well, no, February ninth, it.
- 21:44Speaker 4: Might be that's the Monday after the Super Bowl.

- 23:08Speaker 3: Ye, I'm right, pretty impressive, screwed up for sure.
- 23:11Speaker 1: It's time for our Share Coacheryboard, a check of the coaches,
- 23:15Speaker 1: because coaching story is going to be a big part
- 23:17Speaker 1: of Super Bowl sixty coverage with Clint Kubiak being at
- 23:21Speaker 1: the head of it. And so if you want complete
- 23:24Speaker 1: Super Bowl sixty coverage, well snow, call me. Casino can
- 23:29Speaker 1: get you ready for the big game. Wow. All right,
- 23:32Speaker 1: let's talk impress. Let's talk first about Mike McCarthy. This
- 23:37Speaker 1: happened late last week. We haven't really discussed it. We
- 23:39Speaker 1: didn't even do a Share Coachery Board yesterday, but he
- 23:43Speaker 1: is the new head coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers. It
- 23:46Speaker 1: does fly a little bit in the face of their history.
- 23:49Speaker 1: I mean, they're very proud, or at least we've been
- 23:51Speaker 1: led to believe it, how proud they are to have
- 23:55Speaker 1: identified young head coaches who have the stuff, you know
- 23:59Speaker 1: what I mean. They've had three in my lifetime, Chuck Noll,
- 24:03Speaker 1: Bill Cower, and Mike Tomlin. So at some point the
- 24:06Speaker 1: Pittsburgh Steelers, the Rooney family had to roll the dice
- 24:09Speaker 1: on a pretty much relative unknown, an assistant somewhere that
- 24:13Speaker 1: they interviewed and they had the magic touch. That guy's
- 24:17Speaker 1: the real Do we know what a great head coach
- 24:19Speaker 1: looks like? So they didn't go down the route of
- 24:21Speaker 1: the young head coach the assistant. They went with a proven,
- 24:26Speaker 1: more proven commodity, even though I do believe some of
- 24:29Speaker 1: the shine has been taken off of Mike McCarthy here
- 24:32Speaker 1: in the last couple of years. But what they did
- 24:35Speaker 1: hire is and I did not even realize this die
- 24:39Speaker 1: hard Steelers fan. I mean, you don't even really think
- 24:43Speaker 1: about that with professional sports. When somebody plays wide receiver
- 24:47Speaker 1: for the Cowboys, it doesn't even dawn on you that
- 24:50Speaker 1: deep within them they're still a die hard Ravens fan
- 24:54Speaker 1: because they grew up in Baltimore. But that's what you
- 24:57Speaker 1: have in Mike McCarthy. There are photo there and it
- 25:01Speaker 1: looks like AI. Maybe it is AI, but I have
- 25:04Speaker 1: been assured by people writing about it that it's not AI.
- 25:08Speaker 1: Where he as a grown man recently, because there's gray
- 25:12Speaker 1: and his beard is sitting at a bar in Pittsburgh
- 25:15Speaker 1: all Steeler merched out and hanging out there in the
- 25:20Speaker 1: bar on game day, drinking a beer with a big
- 25:22Speaker 1: giant smile on it.
- 25:23Speaker 4: So that's not a thought for it. I don't know.
- 25:26Speaker 4: I thought it was, but I don't know.
- 25:27Speaker 1: Somebody professionally was explaining that it wasn't it. Wow. Either way,
- 25:31Speaker 1: Apparently this guy is a huge Steelers fan, has been
- 25:35Speaker 1: his entire life, and the Steelers and the Rooney family
- 25:39Speaker 1: kind of like that about him, that he's never really
- 25:41Speaker 1: let go of that he's dreamed his entire life of
- 25:44Speaker 1: being the Steelers head coach and now he's going to
- 25:46Speaker 1: get his chance.
- 25:46Speaker 3: Yeah. Well, I mean I just asked ai. I just
- 25:50Speaker 3: asked it, and it said he grew up in Pittsburgh
- 25:53Speaker 3: in that area, So yeah, I mean, the idea of
- 25:55Speaker 3: that would be cool, maybe if you're you're looking to
- 25:57Speaker 3: get that last ditch, last little bit of shine that
- 26:01Speaker 3: is still left in his coaching career, because it's different
- 26:05Speaker 3: from hiring that young guy like you're talking about and
- 26:08Speaker 3: then keeping him for so long. It's it's pretty crazy
- 26:10Speaker 3: how they've went the other way. But then again, they're
- 26:13Speaker 3: just they're not thinking that they are in need of
- 26:16Speaker 3: a rebuild. They're not thinking that. They're thinking, we need
- 26:19Speaker 3: that we can win the division now, and so let's
- 26:22Speaker 3: get somebody that has been there and done that. And
- 26:24Speaker 3: plus if if they're thinking about bringing if Aaron Rodgers
- 26:29Speaker 3: is thinking about coming back, he has a history with
- 26:31Speaker 3: Mike McCarthy, but a negative one.
- 26:33Speaker 1: Right. They say they want they say they want Rogers back,
- 26:37Speaker 1: and yet they hire a guy that he had a
- 26:39Speaker 1: falling out with. It's very strange that they would do that.
- 26:42Speaker 1: It seems to be mixed messages a little bit.
- 26:44Speaker 3: They want a Super Bowl together too, though, right, So maybe.
- 26:48Speaker 1: No, no, no, they had a falling out after he
- 26:50Speaker 1: won a super Bowl.
- 26:50Speaker 3: Yeah, that's what I mean. But maybe they mended fences
- 26:53Speaker 3: out after the you know, the water under the bridge,
- 26:56Speaker 3: so to speak. Maybe over the last ten years or
- 26:59Speaker 3: fifteen years, they've fixed whatever it was that they had
- 27:01Speaker 3: a falling out.
- 27:03Speaker 1: So, yes, new Steelers head coach. As for Sean McDermott,
- 27:07Speaker 1: apparently Sean McDermott was stunned that the Buffalo Bills fired him.
- 27:12Speaker 1: He didn't see it coming at all, even though people
- 27:14Speaker 1: were discussing it all season long. You've got to get
- 27:16Speaker 1: this far, he's going to be gone. Apparently some people
- 27:20Speaker 1: had some insight information into that, and Sean McDermott never
- 27:23Speaker 1: took it seriously because apparently he was just he was
- 27:27Speaker 1: just blindsided by the fact that he got fired two
- 27:31Speaker 1: days after he was eliminated from the playoffs this year,
- 27:34Speaker 1: despite all the regular season success he's had there in Buffalo,
- 27:38Speaker 1: and to the point where I guess he's only taken
- 27:40Speaker 1: one interview, he's not exactly chomping at the bit to
- 27:46Speaker 1: be a head coach right now. Apparently still kind of
- 27:49Speaker 1: smarting from the entire process, and so he needs a
- 27:53Speaker 1: little bit of time to process exactly what went down.
- 27:56Speaker 1: So Bill's still have their head coaching vacancy, Raiders still
- 28:00Speaker 1: have their head coaching vacancy. Couple of others still have
- 28:02Speaker 1: their head coaching vacancy out there, and all signs now
- 28:06Speaker 1: point to Clint Kubiak, the offensive coordinator for the Seahawks, who,
- 28:10Speaker 1: by the way, if he was looking for a resume builder,
- 28:14Speaker 1: he certainly provided it to the National Football League on Sunday.
- 28:18Speaker 1: I mean, of the two coaches that were primarily featured
- 28:23Speaker 1: Sunday in Seattle, it was Clint Kubiak who punched the
- 28:27Speaker 1: ticket to the Super Bowl, more so than Mike McDonald,
- 28:30Speaker 1: who couldn't figure out a way to slow down Matt Stafford,
- 28:33Speaker 1: Poka Nakua and the Rams offense during that game on Sunday.
- 28:38Speaker 1: So Kubiak gave like a finishing touch resume builder there
- 28:43Speaker 1: on Sunday. And it looks like some teams are gonna
- 28:46Speaker 1: wait to see after the process is all over weight
- 28:49Speaker 1: after the Super Bowl, to see if they can land them.
- 28:52Speaker 1: And yet there's also talk that the Seahawks have no
- 28:56Speaker 1: intention of letting him go without a fight, And there's
- 29:00Speaker 1: some belief out there that there could be a Ben
- 29:02Speaker 1: Johnson situation where they could at least delay it a
- 29:05Speaker 1: year because right now, if Clint Kubiak doesn't like his options,
- 29:10Speaker 1: might wait a year later improve his stock even more
- 29:14Speaker 1: where he gets to sort of hand pick his job
- 29:16Speaker 1: like Ben Johnson did, pushing it off waiting for the
- 29:20Speaker 1: Bear's job to come available with Caleb Williams. And now
- 29:23Speaker 1: he's smelling like a rose.
- 29:25Speaker 3: Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised. I mean, I would be
- 29:28Speaker 3: willing to bet that if the Bills situation came along.
- 29:31Speaker 1: Why would you wait? Right?
- 29:32Speaker 3: I mean, what could be a better hand picked situation?
- 29:35Speaker 3: You get what I agree, I think is probably the
- 29:37Speaker 3: best quarterback in the game. They're right there knocking on
- 29:40Speaker 3: the doorstep. You're just the new voice, and you get
- 29:43Speaker 3: to put some wrinkles in, You get to bring your
- 29:46Speaker 3: thing to the table. It feels like a you know,
- 29:50Speaker 3: something that's already kind of half cooked. I mean, you
- 29:53Speaker 3: just got to finish it off and you know, put
- 29:55Speaker 3: the nice looking garnishes on it and deliver it to
- 29:57Speaker 3: the people versus take that versus the La or Las
- 30:01Speaker 3: Vegas Raiders like that is to me, that's another one
- 30:04Speaker 3: that he's obviously in the mix on, or at least
- 30:07Speaker 3: you know, people are saying that he's in the mix
- 30:09Speaker 3: on that they might be waiting for him. That's a
- 30:11Speaker 3: completely different thing. That's not where I'd want to cut
- 30:13Speaker 3: my teeth as a head coach. Is somewhere where it
- 30:15Speaker 3: just feels like this is a rudderless ship. You know,
- 30:18Speaker 3: maybe Tom Brady can get that thing riled into shape
- 30:22Speaker 3: here and before too long. But to me, it feels
- 30:24Speaker 3: like I would I would take a year off from
- 30:28Speaker 3: trying to become a head coach of Vegas was the
- 30:30Speaker 3: only place I could.
- 30:30Speaker 5: Go well, and especially there was a postgame. One of
- 30:33Speaker 5: the postgame interviews with Sam Darnold. After the game, they
- 30:36Speaker 5: were asking him you know about his relationship with Quint Kubiak,
- 30:38Speaker 5: and he was saying, you know, I just just about
- 30:42Speaker 5: how close he was with everybody, and how much time
- 30:44Speaker 5: he spends in the building and how he's so involved
- 30:46Speaker 5: with every aspect of what's going on. I just it
- 30:49Speaker 5: seems like such a great situation that he's in right
- 30:51Speaker 5: now that, Yeah, unless you have the opportunity that is
- 30:55Speaker 5: too good to pass up on, Yeah, you should stay
- 30:58Speaker 5: in the in the good situation and make it good.
- 31:00Speaker 1: Make it gooder, make it the goodest it could possibly be.
- 31:05Speaker 1: So I don't I think their merits to both. I
- 31:07Speaker 1: even think there's merits to the Raiders' job. I think
- 31:10Speaker 1: ownership is a detraction there a little bit, but they've
- 31:13Speaker 1: already hit the rock bottom. Whoever they hire next is
- 31:17Speaker 1: not going to be a stopcap. He's going to be
- 31:20Speaker 1: the guy they have the number one pick that they
- 31:22Speaker 1: could build around. Yeah, they're not without talent there, and
- 31:26Speaker 1: I think Spytech and Brady seem to be on the
- 31:28Speaker 1: decent page. But I certainly think the Bills was the
- 31:32Speaker 1: best job overall this entire offseason, and they seem to
- 31:36Speaker 1: be waiting for something, whether it's Kubiak, I don't know,
- 31:39Speaker 1: but they do seem to be waiting the process. They
- 31:41Speaker 1: don't just seem to be in any rush from that standpoint.
- 31:46Speaker 1: And yet I don't know if the Brandon Bean winning
- 31:49Speaker 1: the power struggle, if anybody's lining up right now to
- 31:52Speaker 1: work under him, seems to be a little bit of
- 31:55Speaker 1: a snake in the grass. Perhaps if Sean McDermott was
- 31:58Speaker 1: that blindsided throughout the if you want a power struggle
- 32:01Speaker 1: behind the scenes, because he got in the owner's ear
- 32:03Speaker 1: and the owner didn't exactly come off off all that
- 32:06Speaker 1: well in the last couple of weeks, So maybe the
- 32:08Speaker 1: shine's been taking off that job a little bit. But
- 32:10Speaker 1: those to me seem like if I'm a first year
- 32:13Speaker 1: head coach, I'd be interested in both of those jobs.
- 32:16Speaker 1: But doesn't mean Clint Kubiak is. Clint Kubiak might view
- 32:19Speaker 1: it as if I'm going to become a head coach,
- 32:23Speaker 1: I and if my stock is high, I want my
- 32:25Speaker 1: pick of the litter like Johnson got. And so we're
- 32:29Speaker 1: way too late in the process for pick of the litter. Yeah,
- 32:31Speaker 1: I mean, we've already had several head coaches get hired
- 32:34Speaker 1: in this process, but certainly is going to be something
- 32:37Speaker 1: worth monitoring, certainly something that's going to be discussed a
- 32:40Speaker 1: lot next week when we are there in Santa Clara
- 32:45Speaker 1: for the Super Bowl. And so Clint Kubiak continues to
- 32:49Speaker 1: be a hot, juicy topic and certainly was going to
- 32:52Speaker 1: make today's share Coachery Board. Coming up next, another hot
- 32:56Speaker 1: topic is the rookie Nick Emon Wollory. You won't even
- 33:01Speaker 1: believe what one former NFL star had to say about
- 33:05Speaker 1: Emon Warri yesterday. Sports Radio ninety three point three kJ
- 33:08Speaker 1: r F M all right headlines at the top of
- 33:27Speaker 1: the hour, plus our Seahawks insider Greg Bell will be
- 33:30Speaker 1: joining us. We got a lot more to discuss from
- 33:33Speaker 1: not just the Sunday's NFC Conference Championship of victory, but
- 33:37Speaker 1: we'll start looking ahead to the Super Bowl as well.
- 33:40Speaker 1: I'm not going to talk about the opponent where wait
- 33:43Speaker 1: till tomorrow. I think maybe to start diving into that.
- 33:46Speaker 1: We got a long time to beat up on those jerks, Yeah,
- 33:49Speaker 1: we do, so we'll start that on Tomorrow's. Wednesday is
- 33:52Speaker 1: always a great day to look ahead. But here on
- 33:55Speaker 1: this Tuesday, we'll do a little more recapping and get
- 33:58Speaker 1: some other thoughts from Greg here at seven five and
- 34:02Speaker 1: one guy that's I think maybe, I mean, certainly, Hugh's
- 34:06Speaker 1: been incredibly high on him. I think we as a
- 34:08Speaker 1: show have been incredibly high on him. Pretty sure. John
- 34:10Speaker 1: Snyder's really high on him, and Mike McDonald's really high
- 34:13Speaker 1: on him, and add and Dirty Aden Dirty is really
- 34:17Speaker 1: high on him as well. But the name nick Emon
- 34:20Speaker 1: Worry is making its rounds. Everybody that hasn't been paying
- 34:25Speaker 1: close attention to the Seahawks until the playoffs is starting
- 34:28Speaker 1: to understand the gym that wears number three for the Hawks,
- 34:33Speaker 1: including a guy that was rooting for the Rams yesterday.
- 34:36Speaker 1: Former Ram Chris Long, who does a lot of podcasting
- 34:40Speaker 1: these days, was going on and on and on yesterday
- 34:43Speaker 1: with praise about nick Emon Worri.
- 34:45Speaker 6: Nick Emon Worri is the best player on that Seattle
- 34:48Speaker 6: defense and he will be for a decade. He is
- 34:52Speaker 6: like a giant Swiss army knife. He is incredible. When
- 34:57Speaker 6: he grabbed the ball and continued to dead play into
- 35:00Speaker 6: the end zone, just ran it into the end zone
- 35:02Speaker 6: before the half, I think I was like, bro, I
- 35:04Speaker 6: just want to see him. I go, maybe you should
- 35:06Speaker 6: put in a package and give him the ball because
- 35:08Speaker 6: he looks so cool carrying the ball.
- 35:10Speaker 1: He is one of the best athletes in the NFL.
- 35:13Speaker 1: That's Chris Along from his Greenlight podcast yesterday, heeping praise
- 35:18Speaker 1: on nick Emon Warrick. Keep it coming, man, just keep
- 35:21Speaker 1: it coming. I love that people are starting to realize this.
- 35:25Speaker 1: It's like the summer thaw is taking place. People that
- 35:29Speaker 1: you don't necessarily haven't been paying attention to the Seahawks
- 35:34Speaker 1: this season, don't realize that they're not thereby a fluke.
- 35:39Speaker 1: John Schneider has assemboled a team of players now, and
- 35:43Speaker 1: nick Emon Wori I think is really at the front
- 35:46Speaker 1: of that list. I've been hesitant to sort of say
- 35:52Speaker 1: that on the airwaves because I don't want it to
- 35:54Speaker 1: look as an insult to Leonard Williams and Witherspoon and
- 35:58Speaker 1: others on the team. I think he might be right.
- 36:02Speaker 1: I think he might already be the best defensive player
- 36:05Speaker 1: on the team, and I think that he will be
- 36:07Speaker 1: the best defensive player on the team for the next decade.
- 36:10Speaker 3: Well, I think that, you know how you want to
- 36:12Speaker 3: look at it, right, I mean, is he going to
- 36:14Speaker 3: be as good at you know, stopping the run inside
- 36:18Speaker 3: that within the tackles as you know some of your
- 36:21Speaker 3: big guys. Probably not. Is he going to be as
- 36:23Speaker 3: good rushing off the edge as maybe your best, Well,
- 36:26Speaker 3: he might actually be the best at that. Is he
- 36:28Speaker 3: going to be the best at anything necessarily? Maybe not,
- 36:32Speaker 3: but he might be. He's going to be right up
- 36:34Speaker 3: there with the whole thing. I mean, he ended up
- 36:36Speaker 3: missing time, and yet he ended up finishing the season
- 36:39Speaker 3: third in tackles. Even though he missed a few games.
- 36:42Speaker 3: He was like second or third in tackles for loss.
- 36:46Speaker 3: He ends up having some sacks, he ends up having
- 36:48Speaker 3: some pick picks. He's up there and passes defended with
- 36:51Speaker 3: all the defensive backs. The fact that he's he's like
- 36:55Speaker 3: a Swiss army, and I think you can do so
- 36:57Speaker 3: many different things and he does it really really well.
- 37:00Speaker 3: There was that play a couple weeks ago where he
- 37:02Speaker 3: strung the blocker out a little bit and then made
- 37:06Speaker 3: him cut back inside, and then he shucked the block
- 37:09Speaker 3: and then went and tackled the guy. There's just certain
- 37:11Speaker 3: things that he does that you can tell her different.
- 37:13Speaker 3: Some people just can't do some of the things that
- 37:15Speaker 3: he's capable of.
- 37:16Speaker 5: And it seems like he is the was the missing piece,
- 37:19Speaker 5: right because when he was out that defense was not
- 37:20Speaker 5: the same. You bring him back in and it is.
- 37:22Speaker 5: It has just been a phenomenal thing to watch.
- 37:25Speaker 1: Well, he's like the missing piece. Says, he's more than one,
- 37:29Speaker 1: more than a piece, and I think that's what separates him.
- 37:32Speaker 1: And of course he's never going to be as good
- 37:34Speaker 1: of a run defender as Leonard Williams, and he's never
- 37:37Speaker 1: going to be is going to pass Rusher as DeMarcus Lawrence.
- 37:41Speaker 1: Well maybe he might be, that's the same. Yeah, but
- 37:44Speaker 1: there's no way that Leonard Williams is as grade in
- 37:47Speaker 1: coverage right as Nick la. He's a lot closer to
- 37:51Speaker 1: Leonard Williams stopping the run than Leonard Williams would be
- 37:54Speaker 1: at covering Christian McCaffrey out of the backfield. Yeah, okay,
- 37:57Speaker 1: And so for me, I mean that whole sequence there,
- 38:00Speaker 1: and I brought up a couple of times to our
- 38:02Speaker 1: experts yesterday, that whole sequence before the first half where
- 38:06Speaker 1: the Rams are just trying to get the halftime. Let's
- 38:08Speaker 1: just get to half time. We've got the lead, right now,
- 38:10Speaker 1: they've got the ball to start the second half. Let's
- 38:13Speaker 1: just melt this clock. And Emon Warre was like, I'm
- 38:16Speaker 1: going to keep that from happening, even if I have
- 38:20Speaker 1: to do it myself, and he did it himself. He
- 38:22Speaker 1: covered Puka Nakua out of the backfield and knocked the
- 38:25Speaker 1: ball away, and then covered a running back isolated on
- 38:29Speaker 1: the back side, covered the running back and kept him
- 38:33Speaker 1: from catching the ball. And then you get the ball back.
- 38:37Speaker 1: He stopped. He not only makes the two plays, he
- 38:39Speaker 1: deadens the clock. You get the ball back, score a touchdown.
- 38:41Speaker 1: It might have been the difference in the game. Nick
- 38:43Speaker 1: emn War is just and it's not just an athletic freak,
- 38:48Speaker 1: because he is an athletic freak. As Chris Long was
- 38:51Speaker 1: kind of pointing out, he is just as instinctive as
- 38:56Speaker 1: a player as we have. He's always in the right
- 38:59Speaker 1: place at the right time. How many times have we
- 39:01Speaker 1: sat there's a deviit even worry. How many times have
- 39:04Speaker 1: you said that all season long?
- 39:07Speaker 6: No?
- 39:07Speaker 1: Never, once? Maybe right, zero to one, and how many times?
- 39:12Speaker 4: And he seems to be a natural born leader too.
- 39:14Speaker 1: Yeah, he got in the ass. Yeah, of somebody that
- 39:17Speaker 1: needed a little chewing, asked up headlines next on kJ
- 39:23Speaker 1: R
