- 1:25Speaker 2: off your chest football Friday kind of day. We've got
- 1:28Speaker 2: our experts lined up. We'll tell you all about that
- 1:31Speaker 2: coming up with thoughts on tap. But I can see Ashley,
- 1:34Speaker 2: who left her house at five point fifty two and
- 1:37Speaker 2: got here at five fifty seven. I'm sure has got
- 1:40Speaker 2: her Seahawks poofball hat on, and she only cracks that
- 1:44Speaker 2: out when she is really serious about a victory.
- 1:47Speaker 3: First off, I left my house at five p fifty
- 1:48Speaker 3: two and got here at five forty seven.
- 1:51Speaker 4: Wow, so did it?
- 1:52Speaker 5: Yep?
- 1:53Speaker 6: The portal works, just saying good, good, good.
- 1:55Speaker 3: And second of all, yes, I the poof because there's
- 1:59Speaker 3: certain things like I have a shirt that I have
- 2:00Speaker 3: to wear, you know, on game day. I couldn't wear
- 2:03Speaker 3: that today because game day tomorrow, and I'm not going
- 2:05Speaker 3: to do the laundry today to have it clean for tomorrow.
- 2:07Speaker 6: It's got to be ready already, and it is ready.
- 2:10Speaker 6: So today the hat m poof.
- 2:13Speaker 4: And all, yeah, I.
- 2:16Speaker 5: Love it.
- 2:17Speaker 2: Got all your superstitions aligned for tomorrow.
- 2:20Speaker 3: You guys would be pretty proud of me. I haven't
- 2:22Speaker 3: been less superstitious. I'm like Mike McDonald, I'm still a
- 2:28Speaker 3: little stitious. You're yeah, I'm stitious, yeah, but not super
- 2:33Speaker 3: I've been doing pretty well.
- 2:35Speaker 2: I bet I bet your definition of superstitious you probably
- 2:40Speaker 2: are no longer radically stitious. Yeah, that's and you probably
- 2:46Speaker 2: have settled at superstitious.
- 2:48Speaker 6: That's probably more accurate.
- 2:51Speaker 4: That is just slightly or a little stitious. Yeah, but
- 2:54Speaker 4: it probably is still quite super right, probably quite Yeah,
- 2:58Speaker 4: I'm with you have a certain place you're going to sit.
- 3:02Speaker 3: Right, came Okay, Well you know what if we're gonna
- 3:05Speaker 3: get into this, Okay, I have a real conundrum here.
- 3:08Speaker 3: Oh so, last game we had people over to our
- 3:11Speaker 3: house to watch somebody no no, no, I mean.
- 3:16Speaker 2: Well we won whatever you did, do it again.
- 3:18Speaker 6: I guess that's where the conundrum comes in.
- 3:20Speaker 3: So now we're watching with the same group of people,
- 3:23Speaker 3: but our friends want us to do it at their house.
- 3:25Speaker 4: Oh jeez.
- 3:26Speaker 3: And my friend whose house it is, Emily. She's a
- 3:29Speaker 3: big listener of the show. She's None Games Back Emily.
- 3:34Speaker 2: Oh love None Games Back Emily.
- 3:36Speaker 3: So Emily is also superstitious. She is also concerned about
- 3:41Speaker 3: watching it at our house. But her husband is the
- 3:43Speaker 3: complete opposite and just told us both that isn't a thing.
- 3:46Speaker 6: We're watching it at our house.
- 3:50Speaker 3: So we have prepared that if we're not doing well
- 3:53Speaker 3: at halftime, everyone will pack up and we will go
- 3:55Speaker 3: to my house.
- 3:56Speaker 2: See this is You're right, it is a conundrum. Yeah,
- 3:59Speaker 2: because I totally am him and see his side of things.
- 4:04Speaker 2: But just because he feels that way, he's gonna make
- 4:09Speaker 2: a lot of other people uncomfortable that don't feel that way.
- 4:12Speaker 2: And if things start going south just a little bit. Yep,
- 4:16Speaker 2: even though I think he's absolutely right, he's gonna get
- 4:20Speaker 2: blamed if things don't go well.
- 4:23Speaker 6: I promise I won't blame him. I will just quietly
- 4:25Speaker 6: get up and leave and I will say yes this dish.
- 4:30Speaker 3: Yeah, And the sisions have passed on to Palmer the
- 4:32Speaker 3: Great because where she found out we were playing San Francisco,
- 4:36Speaker 3: She's like, well, I better wear my green onesie and
- 4:38Speaker 3: go to Ella's because that's where she was and what
- 4:40Speaker 3: she was wearing for the last game, and the green
- 4:43Speaker 3: ones he's mine, so.
- 4:44Speaker 6: It's massive on her.
- 4:47Speaker 2: Well, yeah, I'm sorry.
- 4:49Speaker 6: I tried to not pass it on to her.
- 4:51Speaker 2: I think I don't know if you tried that.
- 4:53Speaker 6: No, that's not true. I didn't really.
- 4:55Speaker 2: She probably just watched you and mimicked what you did.
- 4:58Speaker 4: Yeah, I see, I'm torn. I'm right, smack dab in
- 5:01Speaker 4: the middle, like when T shirt. Yeah game, everyone see
- 5:07Speaker 4: an old one this one out of the back of
- 5:09Speaker 4: the closet because it's Ben Wilson done well in the playoffs.
- 5:15Speaker 6: This is a playoff shirt. Is that what you're telling me?
- 5:18Speaker 2: You only crack this out for special occasions, like I've
- 5:20Speaker 2: seen it, But you might be right, You might be right.
- 5:23Speaker 4: Yeah, it's I don't think you've seen this one, and
- 5:27Speaker 4: I like it. But see, I I was quite stitious, yeah,
- 5:32Speaker 4: probably even super uh stitious as a player. I mean
- 5:36Speaker 4: it is this, which sock I put on first, which
- 5:39Speaker 4: wrist I taped first, which batting goes? I would wear
- 5:42Speaker 4: batting gloves that were just trashed if I was hitting,
- 5:45Speaker 4: you were going to change your batting gloves even if
- 5:47Speaker 4: they didn't even work as batting gloves, right.
- 5:50Speaker 6: They were just more Bracelet be sure.
- 5:52Speaker 4: They protect my hands from blisters, but they don't work.
- 5:55Speaker 4: We have holes in them, Like you're just getting a blister.
- 5:58Speaker 4: Like I don't care. I'm getting a blister from hits,
- 6:00Speaker 4: is what I'm getting. It's not a no hit blister
- 6:02Speaker 4: I'm getting. And yet it somewhat transferred into my fandom
- 6:06Speaker 4: outside of it. And yet while I'm doing it as
- 6:09Speaker 4: a fan, like I don't have anything to do with this.
- 6:12Speaker 2: Don't have it.
- 6:12Speaker 4: See when it was my stition about me and it
- 6:15Speaker 4: had to do with me performing kind of made sense
- 6:18Speaker 4: even though it didn't really matter which sock I put
- 6:22Speaker 4: on first.
- 6:22Speaker 6: Let's be real, right, But it made you not, it.
- 6:25Speaker 4: Made me yes. But then when all of a sudden
- 6:28Speaker 4: it transfers into something where it doesn't matter what my
- 6:30Speaker 4: routine is. I have zero to add to this whole thing.
- 6:35Speaker 4: I mean, I don't have. I have less than zero.
- 6:37Speaker 4: The ball boy has far more to do with it
- 6:40Speaker 4: than I do, so he better.
- 6:41Speaker 6: Put a socks on matter where I watch the game.
- 6:43Speaker 4: It doesn't. No, it doesn't, but I understand why you
- 6:48Speaker 4: feel that it does.
- 6:49Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 6:50Speaker 2: Well, like I said the last time we had this conversation,
- 6:53Speaker 2: I do have this like dark wish and hope that
- 6:57Speaker 2: if I do make it to heaven and I do
- 6:59Speaker 2: get to sit on that cloud and talk to the
- 7:03Speaker 2: archangel uh and I get to ask him anything I want.
- 7:07Speaker 4: I do want to.
- 7:08Speaker 2: Ask like superstitions and sports, does God care who wins
- 7:13Speaker 2: the game? And I want him to say.
- 7:15Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, me too, because then I won't have been
- 7:18Speaker 3: wasted away.
- 7:20Speaker 2: Every single person superstition that roots for whatever team and
- 7:25Speaker 2: whoever wins the game had the people most dedicated to
- 7:28Speaker 2: their superstitions.
- 7:29Speaker 3: And yeah, and you also have to think about think
- 7:32Speaker 3: about this, think about the people you've lost that are
- 7:34Speaker 3: up there too. So if I'm doing my superstitions and
- 7:37Speaker 3: my dad's looking down on me, he's like, all right,
- 7:40Speaker 3: she did it.
- 7:41Speaker 6: Let's go Seahawks. You got this.
- 7:43Speaker 3: And then he's talking to the archangel and then they're all,
- 7:46Speaker 3: you know, and his friend George, George a big Seahawks
- 7:49Speaker 3: fan too. Well yea, So now my dad and George
- 7:51Speaker 3: and Peter or whoever, Yeah, they're all help, you know,
- 7:55Speaker 3: so I have to do it.
- 7:57Speaker 2: Peter's a huge Seahawks fan. Yeah, everybody knew that.
- 8:00Speaker 7: Well.
- 8:01Speaker 2: Anyway, whatever yours are, however, you enjoy the game, whatever
- 8:05Speaker 2: you pour into it, man, good luck to you.
- 8:09Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 8:10Speaker 2: So we're all pulling in the right direction. Well except
- 8:13Speaker 2: for Bucky, but all the rest of us are pulling
- 8:16Speaker 2: in the right direction. So good morning to you all.
- 8:19Speaker 2: Welcome in among the stitious and superstitious right here on
- 8:24Speaker 2: Chuck and Buck in the Mornings. It is Ashley Ryan
- 8:27Speaker 2: former Marin or Bucky Jacobson. My name is Chuck Powell.
- 8:30Speaker 2: We have a lot to do today, and we probably
- 8:32Speaker 2: shouldn't put this off any longer, because yesterday the Seahawk
- 8:38Speaker 2: world got rocked a little bit. What on earth happened
- 8:43Speaker 2: that Sam Darnold could end up on a bye week,
- 8:46Speaker 2: two days shy of the game, on the injury list
- 8:50Speaker 2: with an injury as scary as an oblique And certainly
- 8:55Speaker 2: there are scarier injuries out there, but there are a
- 8:58Speaker 2: few that are more mysteiurious on how they're going to
- 9:01Speaker 2: affect an athlete in the game. It's also one of
- 9:04Speaker 2: those injuries that can be easily aggravated as well and
- 9:09Speaker 2: made worse. And he's gonna get hit around, and he's
- 9:12Speaker 2: gonna be contorted, and he's gonna make throws from different platforms.
- 9:16Speaker 2: And so even though I'm sure Sam Donald's gonna give
- 9:19Speaker 2: it a go tomorrow night, he said next to zero
- 9:23Speaker 2: percent chance that I won't play with an oblique injury
- 9:28Speaker 2: or an oblique tweak on my left side, it hasn't
- 9:31Speaker 2: stopped doctors from coming out of the woodwork to weigh
- 9:34Speaker 2: in on just how serious this is. And I'm not
- 9:39Speaker 2: saying that I've seen any reports from people that think
- 9:42Speaker 2: that it's a serious thing that people have to worry
- 9:44Speaker 2: about it. But pretty much every report has been it's
- 9:48Speaker 2: not nothing. It's not nothing. It's not something that anybody
- 9:53Speaker 2: could feel great about that Sam Donald on the Thursday
- 9:57Speaker 2: before the biggest game of the year has tweaked something
- 10:01Speaker 2: on his left side. And so here we sit now
- 10:06Speaker 2: here on a football Friday, thinking that we had the
- 10:09Speaker 2: healthiest team in the galaxy. Now having to discuss the
- 10:12Speaker 2: most important player to your roster having some sort of
- 10:16Speaker 2: injury born out of nowhere.
- 10:18Speaker 4: It's interesting. I mean, then again, you know it's there's
- 10:22Speaker 4: a lot of worse ones, and I think obviously nobody
- 10:27Speaker 4: wants to hear that your quarterback just stops basically in practice.
- 10:30Speaker 4: But the idea of a tweak of some sort and
- 10:33Speaker 4: you felt the discomfort and then shut it down, and
- 10:36Speaker 4: then backing it up by saying, well, there's no chance
- 10:38Speaker 4: I'm not going to play to me makes it to
- 10:42Speaker 4: where I wouldn't be overly concerned about it. That's z.
- 10:46Speaker 4: There's nothing saying that you know, it's supposed to be
- 10:49Speaker 4: nice weather here and whatnot. But obliques are tricky ones
- 10:53Speaker 4: because of the fact that you can't stabilize that part
- 10:56Speaker 4: of your body right. It's your core. It's a side
- 10:58Speaker 4: of your cords. You can't stabilize it. So it's something
- 11:02Speaker 4: that even though you can rest it and not aggravate
- 11:04Speaker 4: it or make it worse, you know, today or tomorrow,
- 11:07Speaker 4: leading or tomorrow. I guess he has to play. But
- 11:10Speaker 4: he didn't react, he didn't make it any worse yesterday
- 11:12Speaker 4: after he felt the tweak. There's nothing saying that that
- 11:15Speaker 4: isn't going to get worse during the game Amorrow. He's
- 11:17Speaker 4: gonna play. I believe him one hundred percent when he
- 11:20Speaker 4: says fell a little bit of a tweak, stopped throwing,
- 11:23Speaker 4: probably went and did a little treatment, try to get
- 11:24Speaker 4: the inflammation out of there. But it's probably not going
- 11:26Speaker 4: to be one hundred percent tomorrow. He's still going to
- 11:29Speaker 4: be able to throw. I still think he's still going
- 11:31Speaker 4: to be able to throw down the field. Now, if
- 11:32Speaker 4: all of a sudden you tweak that worse, you heard it,
- 11:35Speaker 4: you really pull the old bleaque. Now you have something
- 11:38Speaker 4: to worry about moving forward, whether it's moving forward the
- 11:40Speaker 4: rest of tomorrow's game or beyond if they advanced. So, yeah,
- 11:44Speaker 4: it's definitely not nothing, even though I wouldn't be overly
- 11:47Speaker 4: concerned about it.
- 11:48Speaker 3: Yeah, that's my concern, not that he's not going to
- 11:50Speaker 3: play tomorrow, but that he would bother it further during
- 11:53Speaker 3: the game, and then that would be a bigger problem.
- 11:56Speaker 2: And well it's not like I mean, we watched Justin Herbert, right,
- 11:59Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know how he did it. And
- 12:01Speaker 2: he's playing out there with a broken hand, and every
- 12:03Speaker 2: time he looked like Chubbs Peterson, yeah from Happy Gilmore.
- 12:07Speaker 2: It looked like it was a wooden extension on his
- 12:10Speaker 2: left hand. And every time that he went down, he
- 12:12Speaker 2: somehow ended up with his broken hand in the air
- 12:15Speaker 2: and he would avoid it, but there was no avoiding
- 12:18Speaker 2: it entirely. He still got it smacked around on the
- 12:21Speaker 2: turf by other players in every sense. I mean, he
- 12:25Speaker 2: was he kept putting that thing at risk, no matter
- 12:27Speaker 2: how great he was, and he was great, yes, and
- 12:30Speaker 2: he would fall down and somehow he'd sling his left
- 12:33Speaker 2: arm out and keeping aware. But man, you're quarterback. You've
- 12:37Speaker 2: got a twist and turn on every throw, you know,
- 12:40Speaker 2: and you're gonna have to throw from all sorts of
- 12:42Speaker 2: different angles. And that's the concern.
- 12:45Speaker 6: Yep, yeah, yeah, exactly.
- 12:46Speaker 3: And it's just I feel like I'm going to be
- 12:48Speaker 3: watching the game all tomorrow. Well, I mean obviously there's
- 12:51Speaker 3: already nerves, but you're going to be watching like every throw.
- 12:54Speaker 6: Okay, did he did he do it? Did he make
- 12:55Speaker 6: it worse? Is it okay? Is it okay?
- 12:58Speaker 2: How he gets up?
- 12:58Speaker 3: Yep, You're gonna reach time he goes, every time he throws,
- 13:01Speaker 3: You're gonna be watching him get up everything, just because
- 13:04Speaker 3: it isn't just about tomorrow, Right, You've got one game
- 13:07Speaker 3: at a time, and you've got that mentality, but you're
- 13:09Speaker 3: hoping that you've got more than one game, and how's
- 13:12Speaker 3: he gonna hold up?
- 13:13Speaker 2: It's something I sugges I could have done without. Yeah,
- 13:16Speaker 2: I could have not.
- 13:17Speaker 6: I was not expecting that news yesterday.
- 13:19Speaker 2: Wrinkle come into our lives on a Thursday afternoon, forty
- 13:22Speaker 2: eight hours shy of playing in the divisional round of
- 13:27Speaker 2: the playoffs, and I and I know, I mean, it's
- 13:31Speaker 2: it's it's not one of those things we're on. Buy
- 13:34Speaker 2: what's going on? Like you can you can hurt your
- 13:37Speaker 2: oblique grabbing milk out of the refrigerator. I mean so
- 13:42Speaker 2: uh and Charles Cross ended up with a different type
- 13:46Speaker 2: of knee injury to the same knee, but apparently he
- 13:49Speaker 2: had something during the course of the buy I mean,
- 13:52Speaker 2: you're you win the bye, You're not supposed to have
- 13:54Speaker 2: an injury report that expands during the bye, and yet
- 13:59Speaker 2: somehow the Seahawks managed to do that. I don't know
- 14:02Speaker 2: if that's Bucky the football gods trying to even things out, like, well,
- 14:05Speaker 2: this seems unfair. Look at all these guys on this
- 14:07Speaker 2: forty nine ers list, and there aren't any over here
- 14:10Speaker 2: on this Seahawks list. I mean, we got to have
- 14:12Speaker 2: an interesting game tomorrow, but I could have done without
- 14:15Speaker 2: all of it. I mean, Ernest Jones got sick this week.
- 14:17Speaker 2: I mean, he looks like he's fine, but I mean
- 14:20Speaker 2: it wasn't exactly a great week for injury news, considering
- 14:26Speaker 2: that you earned a buy right, we didn't have to
- 14:30Speaker 2: play a game the last couple of weeks.
- 14:34Speaker 4: Well, I mean yeah, I mean the Charles Cross one,
- 14:37Speaker 4: I think is a bit more concerning considering it's also
- 14:39Speaker 4: on the heels of Josh Jones, who toughed out I
- 14:43Speaker 4: guess an injury while Cross was out with the hamstring.
- 14:46Speaker 2: And I guess Josh Jones is out. He's out out out.
- 14:49Speaker 4: Yeah, So then you're like, okay, well that your starter
- 14:52Speaker 4: is still good to go, right, And yes, it appears
- 14:55Speaker 4: as if Charles Cross isn't injured where he's not going
- 14:57Speaker 4: to go. But it's like, okay, but you were already
- 15:00Speaker 4: you already had a hamstring issue, and I can tell
- 15:02Speaker 4: you from hamstrings, those don't just miraculously go away, right,
- 15:06Speaker 4: we saw how that happened. Now he kind of got
- 15:08Speaker 4: his leg stuck and then basically pulled a big giant hamstring,
- 15:12Speaker 4: ended up missing a game. And so you're like, Okay,
- 15:15Speaker 4: I think that there's there's something to the idea of Wow,
- 15:18Speaker 4: you would think on your bye week that you just
- 15:21Speaker 4: do nothing but get healthier.
- 15:23Speaker 2: Nope, not so quick.
- 15:24Speaker 4: Apparently you're still working out. Things can happen. And yeah,
- 15:28Speaker 4: so now you have a couple of really big ones.
- 15:29Speaker 4: I mean your quarterback and your left tackle both added
- 15:32Speaker 4: to the whole situation, and your backup left tackle who
- 15:35Speaker 4: did a great job being ruled out. So yeah, it's
- 15:38Speaker 4: not all good news yesterday.
- 15:39Speaker 3: For sure, we basically need to score seventy points in
- 15:41Speaker 3: the first quarter so everyone can rest.
- 15:44Speaker 2: Yeah, we need sort of it. We'd have to build
- 15:46Speaker 2: in another buy. Yeah, that would be that probably be
- 15:50Speaker 2: a record or something. It's serious enough that Drew Locke
- 15:54Speaker 2: got first team reps yesterday, So, like I said, I'm
- 15:57Speaker 2: not concerned about it, but it's not nothing, right, and
- 16:03Speaker 2: obviously Mike McDonald's not treating it like it's nothing. And
- 16:07Speaker 2: I don't think it's a terrible idea for your backup
- 16:09Speaker 2: to get first team reps anyway and ready for getting
- 16:12Speaker 2: ready for a big It's a pretty physical sport, yes,
- 16:15Speaker 2: and I wouldn't mind Drew Locke having it. I wouldn't
- 16:17Speaker 2: mind that even if Sam was one hundred percent one
- 16:19Speaker 2: hundred and three percent healthy, I wouldn't mind that Drew
- 16:22Speaker 2: got a few reps with the first team, you know,
- 16:24Speaker 2: just in case. But I don't think they usually operate
- 16:28Speaker 2: that way. I just don't think there's enough practice time
- 16:31Speaker 2: for you to operate that way. So they gave Drew
- 16:34Speaker 2: a few reps with the first team yesterday, so Mike
- 16:37Speaker 2: McDonald is at least thinking to himself just in case. Yeah,
- 16:42Speaker 2: I'd like to have Drew a little more ready than
- 16:45Speaker 2: not ready at all to step in for Sam if
- 16:48Speaker 2: we need him. So it's news we could have all
- 16:51Speaker 2: done without, and certainly we'll be talking a lot about
- 16:54Speaker 2: it here today and we certainly have the people lined
- 16:57Speaker 2: up to discuss it. So let's find out what's on tap,
- 17:03Speaker 2: what's unte what's untech?
- 17:05Speaker 7: All right?
- 17:06Speaker 2: Seahawks forty nine Ers Saturday at five o'clock. It'll be
- 17:09Speaker 2: the second game of the day, as this is my
- 17:12Speaker 2: favorite weekend of the year, the entire calendar year of sports.
- 17:16Speaker 2: To get the eight best teams theoretically in the National
- 17:19Speaker 2: Football League to play back to back double edders, it's
- 17:22Speaker 2: it's a lot of football, but not too much. Sometimes
- 17:27Speaker 2: that wild card is like who.
- 17:28Speaker 4: I got another game?
- 17:29Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, we do this. This is like this is
- 17:32Speaker 2: like perfect. It's the it's theoretically the eight best teams
- 17:35Speaker 2: playing a double edder for you on Saturday and Sunday,
- 17:37Speaker 2: and the winners go on one step away from the
- 17:41Speaker 2: Super Bowl.
- 17:42Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 17:42Speaker 2: I love this weekend and we're and it's even better
- 17:44Speaker 2: when you're a part of it. So Seahawks forty nine
- 17:46Speaker 2: Ers tomorrow at five o'clock kickoff from loom and Field.
- 17:49Speaker 2: Greg Bell is going to be with us to discuss
- 17:51Speaker 2: all of these injuries. Darnold close to no chance of
- 17:55Speaker 2: not playing despite the oblique injury. We'll get the latest
- 17:58Speaker 2: from Greg on that front. Arles Cross was a full
- 18:01Speaker 2: participant in practice yesterday, so is Kobe Bryant, Riek Wollan,
- 18:04Speaker 2: and Ernest Jones, even though somehow all those guys found
- 18:07Speaker 2: their way onto the injury report. With Kobe Bryant this week,
- 18:12Speaker 2: Hugh Millen X's and o's, obviously we're going to ask
- 18:16Speaker 2: him about what it is to play quarterback with that
- 18:18Speaker 2: type of injury. I'm sure he had it at some
- 18:20Speaker 2: point during his professional and collegiate career, and so he
- 18:24Speaker 2: will join us for x's and o's at nine o'clock.
- 18:27Speaker 2: Mike Homgern at nine thirty. How do you coach somebody
- 18:30Speaker 2: that on Thursday, your quarterback ends up on an injury report,
- 18:34Speaker 2: So things to ask him as well about this ordeal.
- 18:37Speaker 2: So those guys are coming up on the program today,
- 18:40Speaker 2: we'll even ask Sam Darnolds look alike if maybe he
- 18:43Speaker 2: tweaked his oblique just to try to be like Sam
- 18:46Speaker 2: Stam Darnold is going to join us today at eight
- 18:49Speaker 2: thirty because we're always bringing celebrities on this week to
- 18:53Speaker 2: get ready and see how they're preparing for the Seahawks game.
- 18:56Speaker 2: So Stan Darnold is going to join us, will have
- 18:58Speaker 2: some fun with him today at eight thirty. Elsewhere in
- 19:01Speaker 2: the National Football League, of course, you've got Bills Broncos
- 19:05Speaker 2: at one point thirty on Saturday. The double eder on
- 19:07Speaker 2: Sunday will start at noon Patriots hosting the Texans, and
- 19:11Speaker 2: then the Bears and Rams will be saved for last
- 19:14Speaker 2: in Chicago, where it is supposed to be frigid for
- 19:17Speaker 2: that game between the Rams and the Bears. The John
- 19:20Speaker 2: Harbaugh deal is still not done, and so I guess
- 19:25Speaker 2: they did let him leave the building. And if written
- 19:28Speaker 2: contracts don't mean anything see the last week of our show,
- 19:34Speaker 2: then how do verbal agreements mean anything in today's world.
- 19:39Speaker 2: So John Arball still hasn't signed the deal, and we're
- 19:43Speaker 2: now going on over twenty four hours since that was
- 19:47Speaker 2: reported as pretty much done, and so it's left open
- 19:51Speaker 2: this thought that maybe John Harbaugh didn't hear everything he
- 19:54Speaker 2: wanted to hear, and that maybe there's still interest in
- 19:58Speaker 2: interviewing with a couple of other organizations about their head
- 20:02Speaker 2: coaching position before he makes his commitment. So a very
- 20:06Speaker 2: interesting story. We'll talk about that with Sharkocherie a little
- 20:10Speaker 2: bit later on in the radio program. We're three days
- 20:13Speaker 2: away from the Natty and college football. Man, it's been
- 20:16Speaker 2: a long season. It's still going. Indiana will take on
- 20:20Speaker 2: Miami Monday night for the National Championship, and the Hoosiers
- 20:24Speaker 2: are seven and a half point favorites despite playing at Miami.
- 20:28Speaker 2: I mean, that's a home field game for the Miami Hurricanes,
- 20:32Speaker 2: and the Hoosiers have been so dominant as of late.
- 20:34Speaker 2: They're still favored by more than a touchdown in that contest.
- 20:39Speaker 2: And so three days from the Natty, we'll talk more
- 20:41Speaker 2: about that in the O Show today at eight o'clock.
- 20:43Speaker 2: Same thing for college basketball. Huskies will host the Spartans
- 20:47Speaker 2: of Michigan State Saturday at three o'clock KRACK and lost
- 20:51Speaker 2: again on the road. So that's now four out of
- 20:54Speaker 2: five losses for this team that had been on fire.
- 20:57Speaker 2: They lost in Boston yesterday four empty net goal made
- 21:01Speaker 2: it look worse than it actually was. Cracking scrambled to
- 21:04Speaker 2: try to tie things up at the end of regulation,
- 21:07Speaker 2: but the Bruins win by a final score of four
- 21:10Speaker 2: to two. And from Major League Baseball, and we will
- 21:13Speaker 2: find some time. We'll find a segment to discuss this
- 21:15Speaker 2: today because I think it has huge ramifications. Kyle Tucker
- 21:19Speaker 2: did finally come to terms and of course with the
- 21:23Speaker 2: Los Angeles Dodgers, who signed him to a sixty million
- 21:27Speaker 2: dollars per year deal. He now is the highest paid
- 21:31Speaker 2: player not named show Aotani in a single season, and
- 21:35Speaker 2: he even passed Juan Soto for goodness sake, And of
- 21:38Speaker 2: course he went to the Dodgers. Where are they getting
- 21:42Speaker 2: all of this fake money and passing it off as real?
- 21:45Speaker 2: So Kyle Tucker is now a Dodger. We will discuss it.
- 21:48Speaker 2: We'll spend a segment on this a little bit later on,
- 21:51Speaker 2: because I think it's a monster story here on a
- 21:53Speaker 2: Football Friday. Coming up next, in case you missed it,
- 21:56Speaker 2: Matt Hasselbeck has been joining us every Wednesday at eight
- 21:59Speaker 2: o'clock eight at eight here on Chuck and Buck the
- 22:02Speaker 2: last couple of weeks, and he will throughout the playoffs.
- 22:05Speaker 2: So we'll replace some of that conversation we had with
- 22:08Speaker 2: him about the Seahawks getting ready for the forty nine
- 22:11Speaker 2: Ers this week right here on Sports Radio ninety three
- 22:13Speaker 2: point three KJRFM, coming up about the Seahawks, Sam Darnold's
- 22:16Speaker 2: injury and more. But we always do no cliche keys
- 22:18Speaker 2: to victory before every Seahawks game. Please don't use anything
- 22:22Speaker 2: cliche other than that there's not really a rule. So
- 22:25Speaker 2: give me something specific as to why the Seahawks will
- 22:29Speaker 2: win this game if this happens, Bucky get us started.
- 22:34Speaker 4: I think, I mean, I'm not going to say turnovers
- 22:36Speaker 4: because I think that there's going to be turnovers in
- 22:38Speaker 4: this game, but it's the opportunity. Just don't do it
- 22:41Speaker 4: at the wrong times, all right. So I'm not going
- 22:43Speaker 4: to say just turn win the turnover because I don't
- 22:45Speaker 4: think you have to, but you better not make the
- 22:48Speaker 4: cardinal sin of turnovers. Don't turn it over when you
- 22:51Speaker 4: got points on the board, and don't turn it over
- 22:53Speaker 4: when you're backed up against your own You got to
- 22:55Speaker 4: take care of the ball. These are going to be
- 22:57Speaker 4: every single game gets bigger. In the playoffs. We were
- 23:00Speaker 4: just talking about that, every play is bigger, Every possession
- 23:03Speaker 4: is bigger, there's more riding on it, and so the
- 23:06Speaker 4: mistakes are bigger. The same mistake. A drop ball is
- 23:10Speaker 4: bigger than a drop ball in Week three. It just is.
- 23:13Speaker 4: And so I think that the teams if you just
- 23:15Speaker 4: go out there and say, okay, you go out and
- 23:17Speaker 4: we play our game, and they say Okay, we're going
- 23:19Speaker 4: to go out and play our game. I think that
- 23:21Speaker 4: the Seahawks win. It's the way in which the Seahawks
- 23:24Speaker 4: lose this game, not the way in which the Niners
- 23:27Speaker 4: win it. The way in which the Seahawks lose this
- 23:29Speaker 4: game is turning it over. When you have points basically
- 23:32Speaker 4: on the board, you're down there in the red zone
- 23:34Speaker 4: or on the cusp of the red zone, the fringe
- 23:37Speaker 4: red zone, or if you're backed up against your own
- 23:39Speaker 4: and you don't take care of the ball, you make
- 23:41Speaker 4: some poor decisions or put the ball on the turf,
- 23:43Speaker 4: whether it's Sam Darnold or you know, Ken Walker or anybody.
- 23:47Speaker 4: I mean Jackson Smith and Jigbit had a game where
- 23:50Speaker 4: he fumbled a couple of times. So just you got
- 23:52Speaker 4: to take care of the ball. But it's not just okay.
- 23:54Speaker 4: You got to be careful and be scared, play scared,
- 23:57Speaker 4: don't turn the ball over. No, I want you to
- 23:59Speaker 4: push the ball on the field. I want you to,
- 24:01Speaker 4: you know, make your plays. But when it gets time,
- 24:04Speaker 4: when you have points on the border, you would be
- 24:06Speaker 4: relinquishing automatic points by a turnover, backed up against your
- 24:09Speaker 4: own in zone. You got to take care of the
- 24:10Speaker 4: damn ball. All right.
- 24:12Speaker 2: I thought he was going really cliche there, but I
- 24:14Speaker 2: think he saved it.
- 24:14Speaker 6: Yeah, I think it in the end, I might be
- 24:16Speaker 6: going really cliche.
- 24:17Speaker 3: You have to protect your quarterback because, especially with this
- 24:20Speaker 3: oblique issue, you can't have him having to scramble extra
- 24:25Speaker 3: or take those unnecessary hits. And if you're protecting him
- 24:29Speaker 3: and the offensive line is doing their job, then you're
- 24:32Speaker 3: most likely establishing a pretty solid run game, which is
- 24:34Speaker 3: giving him more options, which is keeping him healthy.
- 24:37Speaker 6: And that's the key. You got to keep him healthy.
- 24:39Speaker 2: You know. I kind of am borrowing off of both
- 24:42Speaker 2: of you because earlier in the week yesterday, for example, Yeah,
- 24:45Speaker 2: I was going to say, like, just don't lose the
- 24:48Speaker 2: turnover battle by multiple turnovers. And I don't think the
- 24:53Speaker 2: forty nine ers can beat you. They're going to need
- 24:56Speaker 2: breaks in order. I just think we are just better
- 24:59Speaker 2: manned to person for person on our roster, and I
- 25:03Speaker 2: think our coach is a match for their coach. I
- 25:06Speaker 2: don't care how good he is. I think ours is
- 25:08Speaker 2: just as good. So I just thought, as long as
- 25:10Speaker 2: you'd down blow it, I think that you win this game.
- 25:14Speaker 2: So a little bit like Bucky. But then the Donald
- 25:17Speaker 2: thing happens, and that's exactly what you're saying, is how
- 25:20Speaker 2: I felt. Suddenly I'm changing my key. I think it
- 25:23Speaker 2: now comes down to Clint Kubiak, and it's like, how
- 25:25Speaker 2: are you going to protect Sam Donald without taking this
- 25:29Speaker 2: sting out of your offensive game plan? Because man, you
- 25:35Speaker 2: give a whole lot back to a team that's beat
- 25:38Speaker 2: up and is missing Kittle and Bosa and Warner and
- 25:42Speaker 2: Brown and all sorts of possibly Piersall. You give an
- 25:47Speaker 2: awful lot back if you go down your starting quarterback.
- 25:51Speaker 2: And so all of a sudden, I'm like, hey, we
- 25:53Speaker 2: might have to figure out a game plan of moving
- 25:56Speaker 2: the football that just I'm not talking about being contive,
- 26:00Speaker 2: but I am talking about making sure you put Sam
- 26:03Speaker 2: in a position where he can get rid the ball quickly.
- 26:06Speaker 2: And so I think maybe it does now rest on
- 26:10Speaker 2: Kubiak and his ability to protect Sam Darnold. And as
- 26:14Speaker 2: long as he's not getting destroyed slash hurt, then I
- 26:18Speaker 2: think you still win the game. I still think you
- 26:20Speaker 2: have the advantage person for person on the roster over
- 26:23Speaker 2: the San Francisco forty nine ers, But man, the game
- 26:26Speaker 2: changes if Sam does something more to that oblique on Saturday.
- 26:30Speaker 2: All right headlines. Next we'll get Gregski and also some
- 26:33Speaker 2: valuable information regarding injuries heading into Saturday night. It's Sports
- 26:38Speaker 2: Radio ninety three point three KJRFM.
- 26:41Speaker 8: Big hit, Ryan Ligrin or Ryan Winterton rather took from
- 26:45Speaker 8: behind by Steves.
- 26:47Speaker 2: Winterton wants a piece of Steves.
- 26:49Speaker 9: We're gonna go.
- 26:51Speaker 2: Steves drops it up.
- 26:52Speaker 8: Winterton trying to ragdall him, will absorb its punts down
- 26:56Speaker 8: with Winterton throws one on the.
- 26:57Speaker 2: Side of the head, a big right hand winch. Don't
- 27:00Speaker 2: track each other down, winter.
- 27:02Speaker 8: Ted take some of the ground head well ahead on
- 27:05Speaker 8: top of him.
- 27:10Speaker 2: That his first fight. I think that's like a big
- 27:14Speaker 2: moment for a hockey player to get that out of
- 27:16Speaker 2: the way. And for that baby face Ryan Winterton. I
- 27:19Speaker 2: think he won the fight too. I think he landed
- 27:21Speaker 2: a couple on a veteran. It was fun to watch,
- 27:24Speaker 2: Eddie was.
- 27:27Speaker 4: That was good.
- 27:28Speaker 2: That was good for Winterton man. We got some good
- 27:31Speaker 2: hockey people. Yeah, we do call him the game.
- 27:34Speaker 6: What do you really do?
- 27:34Speaker 4: So good?
- 27:35Speaker 2: Your mc delivery of the game Last night's top call

- 27:51Speaker 2: Happy Football Friday to you all. We are on the
- 27:54Speaker 2: eve of the divisional round of the National Football League playoffs.
- 27:58Speaker 2: Ashley Ryan is here their poofball Seahawk's hat. We've got
- 28:02Speaker 2: Bucky Jacobson here. He cracked out some laundry from old
- 28:06Speaker 2: days to try to get some momentum for his Broncos
- 28:09Speaker 2: going into tomorrow. My name is Chuck Powell and I've
- 28:13Speaker 2: just decided not to wear anything today. So welcome, You're welcome,
- 28:19Speaker 2: and welcome everybody to the show here on this Friday.
- 28:23Speaker 2: All sorts of experts coming up today, including Greg Bell
- 28:26Speaker 2: in two minutes from now to give you the latest
- 28:28Speaker 2: on Sam Donald's injury. That's where the frost brewed cors
- 28:31Speaker 2: Light Choose Chill headlines will start. Yeah, out of nowhere,
- 28:35Speaker 2: Sam Donald reports oblique the left side, says it was
- 28:38Speaker 2: just a minor tweak and out of precaution, took himself
- 28:41Speaker 2: out of practice. Says there's a next a zero percent
- 28:45Speaker 2: chance that he won't be playing tomorrow night in San Francisco,
- 28:49Speaker 2: but that's more of a chance than we were discussing yesterday.
- 28:53Speaker 2: So it does have Seahawk Nation a little bit concerned
- 28:56Speaker 2: right now, understandably, so, as I said, we'll get more
- 29:00Speaker 2: on that from Greg Bell. Seahawks forty nine ers kickoff
- 29:02Speaker 2: tomorrow night at Lumenfield at five o'clock. Also tomorrow you've
- 29:08Speaker 2: got Bill's Broncos getting it started at one thirty from Denver,
- 29:12Speaker 2: and then on Sunday at doubleheader there as well, with
- 29:14Speaker 2: the Patriots hosting the Texans starting at noon, and at
- 29:17Speaker 2: three point thirty it will be the Bears hosting the
- 29:19Speaker 2: Los Angeles Rams. The John Harbaugh deal to the New
- 29:22Speaker 2: York Giants is not done, reported yesterday morning as pretty
- 29:27Speaker 2: much having been agreed upon. Well, it's still not agreed upon,
- 29:31Speaker 2: so it's making a few Giants fans so worried. Why
- 29:35Speaker 2: is this not getting signed? Apparently there are some details
- 29:39Speaker 2: to work out before that becomes official. College Football's national
- 29:43Speaker 2: championship game will be played Monday night in Miami, featuring
- 29:47Speaker 2: Miami against the number one team in America, the Indiana Hoosiers,
- 29:51Speaker 2: who will enter that game as seven and a half
- 29:53Speaker 2: point favorites and just a machine just rolling down the hill,
- 29:58Speaker 2: just flattening everything in its pas. We'll see if Miami
- 30:02Speaker 2: is ready to take on that challenge. College basketball Huskies
- 30:05Speaker 2: will host the Michigan State Spartans and Tom Izzo tomorrow
- 30:09Speaker 2: at three o'clock over there at heck Ed and so
- 30:13Speaker 2: a chance to bounce back from that loss to Michigan
- 30:16Speaker 2: on Wednesday. The Kraken we just played the highlight. There's
- 30:20Speaker 2: a reason why we played a fight. We usually play
- 30:22Speaker 2: a fight when they don't win. Four to two is
- 30:25Speaker 2: the final score a loss to the Boston Bruins. They've
- 30:27Speaker 2: now lost four of their last five games. They'll play
- 30:31Speaker 2: again tomorrow night. And Kyle Tucker signed a four year,
- 30:35Speaker 2: two and forty million dollars deal as the number one
- 30:39Speaker 2: free agent on the market this offseason, with of course,
- 30:42Speaker 2: the Los Angeles Dodgers. We will discuss that. We are
- 30:46Speaker 2: actually going to discuss that in a full segment today
- 30:49Speaker 2: coming up at six thirty. But right now, let's talk
- 30:51Speaker 2: to Greg Bell with the bell tolls.
- 30:54Speaker 1: It must be seven o'clock and time for twelve Man
- 30:57Speaker 1: News with Greg Bell, brought to you by Cope the
- 31:00Speaker 1: Diamond Collection Psecco Chris Sparkling with bright fruit flavors to
- 31:04Speaker 1: make every toast shine game day bubbles only with Copola
- 31:09Speaker 1: Diamond Forsecco. Now with kwunk Man News, here's Greg Bell
- 31:13Speaker 1: with Chuck and Budd.
- 31:15Speaker 10: Well.
- 31:15Speaker 2: It's a good thing that I know the phrase don't
- 31:18Speaker 2: kill the messenger, because I think I might have killed
- 31:21Speaker 2: Greg Bell yesterday. That's how much that message. That's how
- 31:25Speaker 2: that message landed on my lap. I'll tell you that
- 31:27Speaker 2: much right now. Our Seahawks inside of Greg Bell is
- 31:30Speaker 2: with us this morning. Good morning, sir. I don't mean
- 31:32Speaker 2: my threat, but certainly that was not good news for
- 31:38Speaker 2: the Sea Hawk fan base to find out yesterday that
- 31:41Speaker 2: we've got a Sam Darnold injury on our laps here today.
- 31:47Speaker 7: You know, it was an interesting ten minutes or so
- 31:50Speaker 7: that we had coming off the practice field day on
- 31:53Speaker 7: a Friday. What's typical Friday. Yesterday was basically a Friday
- 31:56Speaker 7: day before two days before game is when the official
- 32:00Speaker 7: injury reports come out. And the way the Seahawks used
- 32:03Speaker 7: to do it is they'd put it out in an
- 32:04Speaker 7: email before we talked to the coach. We weren't talking
- 32:08Speaker 7: to the coach yesterday. So one of the assistant PR
- 32:11Speaker 7: guys came in. Jeff Garza said, here's the injury list.
- 32:14Speaker 7: Josh Jones is out and Sam Donald's questionable. Through this
- 32:19Speaker 7: pause and somebody said, somebody said, Sam Donald, yeah questionable?
- 32:23Speaker 7: O bleak what? And then Clint Kubiak was the first
- 32:29Speaker 7: to speak after we get that news, and he of
- 32:33Speaker 7: course was deferring to the head coach as the authority
- 32:36Speaker 7: at all injury issues, and we weren't talking to the
- 32:38Speaker 7: head coach until today yesterday, so Kubiak wouldn't say anything
- 32:42Speaker 7: other than to say, Drew Locke got snaps with the Ones,
- 32:46Speaker 7: and I'm like, wait a minute, two days before a
- 32:48Speaker 7: playoff game and your backup quarterback hasn't seen the field
- 32:51Speaker 7: in months is getting snaps, That's what. And then so
- 32:58Speaker 7: for about ten minutes it was they're gonna have to
- 33:01Speaker 7: go with Drew Locke in the playoff game. And then
- 33:04Speaker 7: Sam Darnold came up and said, A'm fine and basically said,
- 33:08Speaker 7: I have to get a bunch of treatment. I felt
- 33:10Speaker 7: it when I threw a pass early in practice against air,
- 33:13Speaker 7: meaning out against any defense, and so I just shut
- 33:17Speaker 7: it down. We shut it down. Out of precaution. I'll
- 33:20Speaker 7: get a ton of treatment I'm playing. I said, well,
- 33:22Speaker 7: what's the percentage? Trying to get a perspective on his
- 33:25Speaker 7: frame of mind, so I asked him what percentage of
- 33:28Speaker 7: you thinks you're not going to play? He says pretty low,
- 33:32Speaker 7: like close to zero. So the context here is in
- 33:37Speaker 7: twenty sixteen, the NFL changed their injury reports to eliminate
- 33:42Speaker 7: the probable designation. So now if you have an injury,
- 33:47Speaker 7: especially one that caused you to miss practice time, the
- 33:49Speaker 7: last full practice before the game, they do a walk
- 33:53Speaker 7: through today it just goes through the game plan t shirts.
- 33:56Speaker 7: If you miss any part of the practice right before
- 33:58Speaker 7: the game, you get added to the injury report. But
- 34:02Speaker 7: they don't have a probable designation. It used to be
- 34:04Speaker 7: seventy five percentence you were playing. So now that if
- 34:08Speaker 7: you're on the injury report for the game, you have
- 34:10Speaker 7: to go to questionable, which officially is fifty to fifty.
- 34:13Speaker 7: And I think that's what's happening here. It's if it
- 34:15Speaker 7: was a probable designation, he'd be probable, but there's not
- 34:18Speaker 7: that anymore, so there's to go to questionable. Most I
- 34:21Speaker 7: will also say this in this season and in most
- 34:26Speaker 7: recency of seasons, questionable players tend to play. Yeah, there's
- 34:31Speaker 7: a really strong chance. So I think Mike McDonald's going
- 34:34Speaker 7: to say today that it was a precaution because he
- 34:37Speaker 7: felt something and we just shut it down so it
- 34:39Speaker 7: didn't get worse. We expecting to play. He'll test it
- 34:42Speaker 7: before pregame to make sure it's okay. He doesn't have
- 34:45Speaker 7: to throw today because they literally just walk through I mean,
- 34:49Speaker 7: he could just pantomime throwing the ball or not even
- 34:52Speaker 7: having to do that as they go through the game plan.
- 34:55Speaker 7: So I understand it is jarring from the starting quarterback
- 35:00Speaker 7: of your division champion team, get planned out of nowhere unquestionable,
- 35:04Speaker 7: And for about fifteen minutes I thought he might not
- 35:06Speaker 7: be playing, but I think he's playing.
- 35:09Speaker 5: Well.
- 35:09Speaker 4: We better not reaggravate it miming a play or a
- 35:12Speaker 4: throw today. That would be bad. Greg, how much do
- 35:15Speaker 4: you think this basically solidifies that they're really going to
- 35:20Speaker 4: try to establish a run. I think that you know,
- 35:22Speaker 4: you run for one hundred and eighty last time you
- 35:23Speaker 4: face these guys, we knew that was going to be
- 35:25Speaker 4: part of the deal. Or is there a chance that
- 35:28Speaker 4: they're kind of you know, what maybe they'll they'll sell
- 35:32Speaker 4: out trying to do that, and we're going to be
- 35:33Speaker 4: able to take even more shots over the top because
- 35:35Speaker 4: we think he's going to be fine.
- 35:37Speaker 7: Yeah, I think it's the latter I've mentioned all week,
- 35:40Speaker 7: and I don't think this changes it. If he plays
- 35:43Speaker 7: and there are ways medically to an oblique injury on
- 35:46Speaker 7: the side, they could give him a painkilling shot and
- 35:50Speaker 7: he could play at less than one hundred percent, but
- 35:53Speaker 7: he could play, and that maybe what ends up happening,
- 35:56Speaker 7: even if that could be as a precaution if they
- 35:58Speaker 7: don't think he can injure it more, that's the route
- 36:00Speaker 7: they go medically. I think that's what's going to happen.
- 36:04Speaker 7: And I think they're going to throw the ball down
- 36:06Speaker 7: the field, and I think Saturday night it may be
- 36:09Speaker 7: somewhat of a footnote that he was ever questionable for
- 36:12Speaker 7: the game. That's my hunch, But we'll see that plays out.
- 36:15Speaker 7: But I mean, of course they're going to run the ball.
- 36:20Speaker 7: They've done it all seasons. Fifty percent of their snaps
- 36:22Speaker 7: are run, even when they aren't running well and they're
- 36:25Speaker 7: running against the team they went for one to eighty
- 36:27Speaker 7: four there in their very last game, so it's not
- 36:29Speaker 7: like it was a long time ago. Well, I would
- 36:32Speaker 7: expect them to still run to set up the deep path.
- 36:35Speaker 2: Does it have to be asked this morning? Can the
- 36:38Speaker 2: Seahawks win with Drew Locke at quarterback?
- 36:42Speaker 7: I don't think it applies here, but I think the
- 36:44Speaker 7: answer is yes. And I think their defense is good
- 36:48Speaker 7: enough that you and I almost could be quarterback. We'll
- 36:50Speaker 7: just hand it to turn around and give it to
- 36:52Speaker 7: Kenneth Walker. Maybe an extreme, maybe they'd lose if I
- 36:55Speaker 7: was a quarterback, but their defense is playing at a
- 36:59Speaker 7: super Bowl level, and if they don't turn the ball
- 37:02Speaker 7: over on offense, no matter who the quarterback is, they
- 37:04Speaker 7: can win. That's pretty much what they did against the
- 37:07Speaker 7: forty nine ers January third. But how many times can
- 37:11Speaker 7: you do that? Probably not a lot. There aren't a
- 37:14Speaker 7: lot of times you're gonna shut down any NFL offense
- 37:17Speaker 7: coached by Kyle Shanahan or coached by Gomer Pyle that
- 37:21Speaker 7: you're going to allow them just three points in one
- 37:22Speaker 7: hundred and seventy three yards, So they're gonna have to
- 37:25Speaker 7: score more than one touchdown. They're gonna have to play offense,
- 37:30Speaker 7: and if not, tomorrow certainly next week. But their defense
- 37:35Speaker 7: is still good enough that I don't want to say
- 37:38Speaker 7: this doesn't matter. Of course, this matters this quarterback situation
- 37:41Speaker 7: and the health of the starting quarterback. But man, their
- 37:46Speaker 7: defense is playing well. Can they sustain that? And if
- 37:49Speaker 7: they can, that's sure would help.
- 37:52Speaker 4: Yeah, no doubt about it. I mean, does this I
- 37:54Speaker 4: mean I don't think this is gamesmanship. I don't think
- 37:57Speaker 4: that they would be having some sort of false you know, Oh,
- 38:00Speaker 4: let's act like that, because then nobody's gonna ask you
- 38:02Speaker 4: about your playoff game last year. They're going to be
- 38:05Speaker 4: worried about where you're at now. But do you think
- 38:08Speaker 4: that there's a chance that it does motivate the defense
- 38:10Speaker 4: of like, you know what, hey, boys, if our guy,
- 38:14Speaker 4: our ginger general is a little bit dinged up, we're
- 38:18Speaker 4: not even going to rely on them to have to
- 38:19Speaker 4: score hardly anything. We're gonna go out here and be
- 38:21Speaker 4: even more amped up than they would have been.
- 38:23Speaker 7: When I first in the first moments of hearing about it,
- 38:26Speaker 7: because of how he looked at the starter practice and
- 38:29Speaker 7: jogging out and joking with us, you had to have
- 38:31Speaker 7: a third gun in his hand, which is odd. He
- 38:33Speaker 7: wanted everyone to see that, which is odd, but the
- 38:38Speaker 7: defense always thinks like that. I asked a couple of
- 38:42Speaker 7: weeks ago when they were playing Carolina and there was
- 38:45Speaker 7: a struggle into the third quarter and the defense took over.
- 38:49Speaker 4: What were your guys.
- 38:50Speaker 7: Message at halftime? And the defensive players said that we
- 38:53Speaker 7: had to win the game. It was up to us.
- 38:55Speaker 7: So that's they're good enough that they think they can
- 38:58Speaker 7: shut down and control every game. And yeah, this will
- 39:02Speaker 7: I don't know if it'll be added motivation, but they're
- 39:04Speaker 7: gonna think that way for sure.
- 39:07Speaker 2: Greg Bell is with US our Seahawks insider latest information
- 39:10Speaker 2: on Sam donald so bleak injury which popped up yesterday,
- 39:14Speaker 2: and the injury report caught everybody off guard, even the
- 39:16Speaker 2: guys that covered the team on a daily basis, like
- 39:19Speaker 2: Greg Bell. You can get his complete coverage of the
- 39:22Speaker 2: Seahawks on a second by second basis pretty much at
- 39:26Speaker 2: the Newstribune dot com and you can follow him at
- 39:28Speaker 2: g Bell Seattle on X. All right, let's talk about
- 39:31Speaker 2: something other than Sam Darnold. There are other injuries here.
- 39:35Speaker 2: Charles Cross, Ernest Jones, Kobe Bryant. They're all leaning toward playing.
- 39:40Speaker 7: Yes, not only leaning full leaning okay in front of
- 39:44Speaker 7: the Fox Fox. So they're not on the injury report,
- 39:47Speaker 7: which designates that there's a near certainty they will play.
- 39:51Speaker 7: They were full participants in practice yesterday. Josh Jones, the
- 39:54Speaker 7: backup tackles out, but Cross looks fine. Jones looked really
- 39:59Speaker 7: sick yesterday in the training room before practice began. Then
- 40:02Speaker 7: he came out and was participating in some of it.
- 40:07Speaker 7: So yeah, they are fuller to go now. Elijah Royo
- 40:11Speaker 7: is not coming back to practic to play. He's not
- 40:13Speaker 7: gonna be activated. They listed him as out, and same
- 40:17Speaker 7: with Chasser out. The Special team's mainstay. People will remain
- 40:20Speaker 7: on injured reserve at least through this game. But everybody
- 40:24Speaker 7: else is good to go, including Griquillan, who had been
- 40:27Speaker 7: limited at times this week at practice with him his
- 40:29Speaker 7: own oblique, he's planned to How much.
- 40:32Speaker 4: Do you how much time does McDonald and company spend
- 40:36Speaker 4: on like trick plays that they've seen not just this year,
- 40:39Speaker 4: but in previous seasons. With Kyle Shanahan considering, I mean,
- 40:43Speaker 4: I think that the Seahawks go out and they just
- 40:45Speaker 4: try to execute their game plan. You don't got to
- 40:47Speaker 4: get cute, don't try to be fancy. Sometimes those things
- 40:49Speaker 4: come back and shoot you in the foot. But on
- 40:52Speaker 4: the other side of it, how much time do they
- 40:54Speaker 4: spend on, Hey, we got to make sure watch out
- 40:56Speaker 4: for this reverse pass or things like that.
- 40:59Speaker 7: Yeah, there's a special situation part of each week's practice.
- 41:04Speaker 7: And I think it's Thursday that they do. I'm not
- 41:06Speaker 7: sure it was Wednesday Thursday, but they spend time. They
- 41:09Speaker 7: spent time on a Christian McCaffrey option pass, which has
- 41:13Speaker 7: happened in the history of the NFL. And of course
- 41:16Speaker 7: Jawan Jennings for the touchdown. Hey, the Seahawks knew before
- 41:20Speaker 7: Jawn Jinnings threw that trick play touchdown against Eagles that
- 41:23Speaker 7: John Jennings used to be a quarterback way back in
- 41:25Speaker 7: the league. That's part of the advancing the league scouts
- 41:28Speaker 7: the job to know the background of the team you're playing.
- 41:31Speaker 7: So yeah, they'll be ready for any and all that.
- 41:34Speaker 7: They can't totally guess everything that Kyle Shanahan's going to do,
- 41:37Speaker 7: but that's standard sop for every week's game plan.
- 41:41Speaker 2: All right, Well, let's get to it then. Obviously, biggest
- 41:44Speaker 2: game of the year, first playoff game San Francisco forty
- 41:47Speaker 2: nine Ers we're assuming Sam Donald's going to play and
- 41:50Speaker 2: play like Sam Donald. So what's it going to come
- 41:53Speaker 2: down to tomorrow night.
- 41:56Speaker 7: Well, I think the defense is going to dictate not
- 41:58Speaker 7: only at their game, but they're chance to win a
- 42:01Speaker 7: championship here. I think that's they'll ride that, and that's
- 42:04Speaker 7: the strength of the team. I don't think it's gonna
- 42:07Speaker 7: be a conservative game plan on offense, but I think
- 42:09Speaker 7: that when push comes to show, they will decide to
- 42:12Speaker 7: lean on their defense and dance with what brung you here, right,
- 42:16Speaker 7: And that's the strength of this team. I think that's
- 42:19Speaker 7: how they're gonna win tomorrow night, and I think that's
- 42:21Speaker 7: how they're gonna go into the NFC Championship game. I
- 42:24Speaker 7: will say again, this is gonna be a different game.
- 42:27Speaker 7: Very few NFL games, no two NFL games are the same,
- 42:31Speaker 7: and in this case no three from Week one to
- 42:33Speaker 7: Week eighteen to the playoffs, which has never happened before.
- 42:36Speaker 7: By the way, first game, last game, in playoff game
- 42:38Speaker 7: against the same team, this is gonna be different. It's
- 42:41Speaker 7: not gonna be three point it's not gonna be one
- 42:43Speaker 7: touchdown wins. They're gonna have to win a different way.
- 42:48Speaker 7: But in the end. I think the defense will.
- 42:50Speaker 2: Be the Reasons Bears.
- 42:53Speaker 7: I think the Rams they're really really good. And the
- 42:56Speaker 7: weather can be a factor in Chicago tomorrow night. It's
- 42:58Speaker 7: supposed to be like zero to reason a bunch of
- 43:00Speaker 7: wind off Lake Michigan. That would be interesting for Sir
- 43:04Speaker 7: Matthew Stafford to play in. But yeah, I think the
- 43:07Speaker 7: rams are really good.
- 43:08Speaker 2: Okay, you're gonna crack out some special suit tomorrow or
- 43:12Speaker 2: you know something special. Dress up a little nicer, get
- 43:15Speaker 2: your hair cut sequence. Yeah, maybe a lotion up a
- 43:18Speaker 2: little bit.
- 43:20Speaker 7: You can get a haircut that might be the least
- 43:22Speaker 7: exotic of all the things you just mentioned that. No suits,
- 43:25Speaker 7: nothing new to them. Okay, I'm not gonna take my
- 43:28Speaker 7: wife's clothing to wear tomorrow. No, sorry, maybe I'll say
- 43:33Speaker 7: that for the super Bowl.
- 43:34Speaker 4: Sequence doesn't have to be your wives, like, just a
- 43:37Speaker 4: sequence best under your suit. I was on a little splash, don't.
- 43:43Speaker 7: I don't have sequence clothes. I don't know, Bucky.
- 43:46Speaker 4: I learn more about you every day. If you have
- 43:49Speaker 4: sequence clothes, have sequences underwear on right now?
- 43:52Speaker 2: I mean, how are you that either? Are you gonna
- 43:55Speaker 2: go to disco night at the club every Friday? If
- 43:57Speaker 2: you don't have a sequence, vest I don't know.
- 43:59Speaker 4: Yeah, good man, that's.
- 44:00Speaker 7: About one of the clubs I'm going to. I'm going
- 44:02Speaker 7: to their own clubs.
- 44:02Speaker 5: I go.
- 44:03Speaker 2: Thanks. All right, Well, we'll be.
- 44:06Speaker 7: On tonight from seven to nine and the Sea Hawks Show,
- 44:08Speaker 7: and we're gonna have deep dive into the Sam Darnold situation.
- 44:12Speaker 7: You'll hear from from Seahawks grades Abel. We'll have a
- 44:16Speaker 7: guest from San Francisco Josh dou Valley associated press entuckt
- 44:19Speaker 7: us about the forty nine ers side with We might
- 44:21Speaker 7: even have to open up the phone lines like I
- 44:23Speaker 7: mentioned yesterday, and we're seven and nine. Your chance to
- 44:26Speaker 7: be part of the Seahawks playoff show here and KGr.
- 44:29Speaker 4: I love for the.
- 44:31Speaker 7: Yeah man, yeah that because no one will see it.
- 44:35Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, seven and nine tonight specialty show. I
- 44:39Speaker 2: love specialty shows and Greg Bell leading it up right
- 44:43Speaker 2: here at Sports Radio ninety three point three kJ R
- 44:45Speaker 2: f M. So have fun with it and we will
- 44:48Speaker 2: talk to you Monday to break down all the nitty
- 44:50Speaker 2: and the gritty.
- 44:52Speaker 7: Thank you, Happy weekend, Greg.
- 44:54Speaker 2: Bell joining us right here on chucking back and so
- 44:56Speaker 2: I mean, look, I mean yesterday was sort of a
- 44:58Speaker 2: what the kind of day for Seahawk fans, certainly an
- 45:02Speaker 2: afternoon and evening of that. But here's Greg Mell, Seahawks insider,
- 45:06Speaker 2: who said if you heard him, he said they were
- 45:08Speaker 2: about a fifteen minute period where I thought, Sam Donald,
- 45:11Speaker 2: I'm going to play and then he got to the
- 45:13Speaker 2: bottom of it, you know, it is digging around, asked
- 45:17Speaker 2: his questions. You know, I knows he can be and
- 45:20Speaker 2: found out that there's really not much to see here.
- 45:24Speaker 2: He's not He doesn't sound worried at all, doesn't he
- 45:27Speaker 2: thought the Drew Locke question was unnecessary to ask at
- 45:31Speaker 2: this stage in the process. So I would think that
- 45:35Speaker 2: that's music to the Seahawks fans. Ears to hear that
- 45:38Speaker 2: report here from Greg this morning.
- 45:39Speaker 4: It's weird because I mean an oblique while it's just
- 45:43Speaker 4: a little thing, it can be debilitated, I mean, and
- 45:45Speaker 4: it can last for a long time. It can be
- 45:47Speaker 4: something that lingers and doesn't go away, that takes a
- 45:50Speaker 4: long time to rehab and get back to being healthy.
- 45:52Speaker 4: But I had the same thing, I mean, buddies of
- 45:54Speaker 4: mine that they're all Seahawk fans. I think it was
- 45:58Speaker 4: Charlie sent out of the first one saying with a
- 46:00Speaker 4: little blurb, he's not a really horrible name. Call him
- 46:05Speaker 4: Chuck sometimes or Charles. It's and it's just I don't
- 46:08Speaker 4: like it wonderful.
- 46:10Speaker 2: It's not.
- 46:10Speaker 4: He's actually one of my least favorite friends. No, it's
- 46:13Speaker 4: not true. I love Charlie. But he sent something out
- 46:16Speaker 4: letting everybody know that you know that he had seen
- 46:19Speaker 4: the the whole thing with Sam Donald, And my immediate
- 46:22Speaker 4: response was like, there's nothing that's gonna keep him out
- 46:25Speaker 4: of it, right. I mean, a bad enough oblique situation
- 46:28Speaker 4: could make it where you can't throw. But I don't
- 46:31Speaker 4: think a little bit of a twinge and you're like, oh,
- 46:34Speaker 4: shutting that down. I'm not, you know, I'm not gonna
- 46:36Speaker 4: mess with that anymore. He's gonna be good to go.
- 46:38Speaker 4: I think. I don't even I don't even think that
- 46:40Speaker 4: it's even over the top. If anything, it might be like,
- 46:43Speaker 4: let's see if they now play one safety high and
- 46:45Speaker 4: just dare us because they think that I'm hurt. I
- 46:47Speaker 4: would if they try to go over the top even more.
- 46:51Speaker 2: Oh, I see what you're doing there. He's like fake
- 46:54Speaker 2: and the funk.
- 46:54Speaker 4: It wouldn't surprise me if Mike McDonald's like, Hey, we're
- 46:58Speaker 4: gonna have you fake a little something something and see
- 47:00Speaker 4: if they'll sell out even more on the run, and
- 47:02Speaker 4: then we're gonna pop out love. We're gonna score seventy
- 47:06Speaker 4: in the first quarter.
- 47:06Speaker 6: Well that's my game plan.
- 47:08Speaker 4: Any arrest.
- 47:09Speaker 2: Still question as to whether or not Jordan really did
- 47:11Speaker 2: have the flu? All right, Greg's segment brought to you
- 47:15Speaker 2: by Copa The Diamond Prosecco. Every game needs an MVP.
- 47:18Speaker 2: This one, well, it sparkles like Greg's sequin vest. COPAA
- 47:22Speaker 2: Diamond Collection Prosecco is like crisp and always a win.
- 47:25Speaker 2: Grab your bubbles and toast every touchdown game Day Bubbles
- 47:29Speaker 2: only with Coppola Diamond Prosecco coming up next. I think
- 47:33Speaker 2: it's worthy of a segment even on a football Friday.
- 47:36Speaker 2: This Kyle Tucker's story as People Talking Sports Radio ninety
- 47:39Speaker 2: three point three kJ R f M. Hey, good Friday
- 47:53Speaker 2: morning to you. It is a football Friday sponsored by
- 47:57Speaker 2: Tito's Handmade Vodka. Not just any old football Friday, but
- 48:02Speaker 2: a playoff football Friday, a divisional round of the playoff
- 48:06Speaker 2: football Friday. Good to have you with us. It is
- 48:09Speaker 2: Ashley Ryan Bucky Jacob said, my name is Chuck Powell.
- 48:12Speaker 2: We roll into our eight o'clock hour, and every Friday
- 48:15Speaker 2: at eight o'clock or most every Friday, we deliver the
- 48:18Speaker 2: eight top stories of the day to get you ready
- 48:20Speaker 2: for the weekend. We do call it the O Show.
- 48:24Speaker 2: And let's face it, there's only one thing on our minds. Ready,
- 48:40Speaker 2: here we go. Yeah, you know.
- 48:47Speaker 3: This is making we want to play football right now.
- 49:02Speaker 11: He doesn't need a play on time, just wants to
- 49:04Speaker 11: be number one seed, home field advantage and legendary looming
- 49:11Speaker 11: field and it's famous home field advantage.
- 49:16Speaker 2: The home of noise, the home of hype, coming off
- 49:20Speaker 2: a bye, two wins from the Super Bowl division rival
- 49:25Speaker 2: in our path, league's best white receiver, league's best defense.
- 49:31Speaker 2: Let's go, people, Let's get this done.
- 49:36Speaker 4: Guess I had. I had double arms and chest and
- 49:42Speaker 4: then you reading that thing off, gave it down my
- 49:45Speaker 4: right leg for some reason, for some reason, right, you
- 49:48Speaker 4: wear your Bronco shirt.
- 49:49Speaker 2: Why am I getting so excited for this?
- 49:51Speaker 4: Well, I was kind of taking it as from a
- 49:54Speaker 4: different perspective, not gonna lie, because everything you said does
- 49:58Speaker 4: actually go the other way. With the exception of league's
- 50:01Speaker 4: best wide receivers, Division rival everything else. Yep, I took
- 50:06Speaker 4: that as Broncos. Regardless, that song gets me hyped up.
- 50:11Speaker 4: It does make me want to go tackle something. Yeah,
- 50:13Speaker 4: so you might want to watch out Mark if you're
- 50:15Speaker 4: walking through the.
- 50:16Speaker 9: Building, which one you know which one and it will
- 50:21Speaker 9: be an illegal hit that would to the head and
- 50:23Speaker 9: neck area.
- 50:23Speaker 2: That would be a new twist of the football Friday
- 50:25Speaker 2: right there.
- 50:27Speaker 3: That would be what if you just get to pick
- 50:30Speaker 3: someone and tackle them every football Friday.
- 50:33Speaker 4: I think it's a great idea. We're starting it today.
- 50:37Speaker 2: Well, yes, obviously the divisional round of the playoffs, the
- 50:41Speaker 2: Seahawks being involved. After sitting out last week and waiting
- 50:45Speaker 2: for other people to have to earn their way to
- 50:48Speaker 2: play us, we now get ready for the matchup tomorrow
- 50:52Speaker 2: night at Loomingfield, five o'clock kickoff on Fox. If you
- 50:56Speaker 2: can't make it to the game at Seahawks versus forty Niners.
- 51:00Speaker 2: And we have of course been building this up now
- 51:03Speaker 2: for a couple of weeks. But what we didn't see
- 51:06Speaker 2: coming is yesterday's news. Here we thought, coming off a
- 51:10Speaker 2: bye week, healthy football team, forty nine ers injury report.
- 51:14Speaker 2: It's riddled with famous names, guys that aren't even going
- 51:17Speaker 2: to be playing in this contest. We know that for
- 51:19Speaker 2: a fact Seahawks were supposed to be entering this thing
- 51:21Speaker 2: about as healthy as you can enter a divisional playoff
- 51:25Speaker 2: round game, and instead the bomb was dropped yesterday from
- 51:29Speaker 2: Seahawks practice that Sam Darnald has tweaked his oblique. That's
- 51:34Speaker 2: right in the middle of practice throwing against air. It
- 51:38Speaker 2: sounds like Sam Darnald might have injured himself in practice
- 51:43Speaker 2: the other day. That's the last thing we wanted to
- 51:46Speaker 2: hear on a Thursday, forty eight hour shy of the
- 51:49Speaker 2: biggest game of the year. Greg bell, our Seahawks insider,
- 51:52Speaker 2: was with us two hours ago, or actually one hour ago,
- 51:56Speaker 2: and he gave us an update on Sam's oblique.
- 51:59Speaker 7: I think Mike McDonald was going to say today that
- 52:01Speaker 7: it was a precaution because he felt something. We just
- 52:04Speaker 7: shut it down so it didn't get worse. We expecting
- 52:07Speaker 7: to play. He'll test it before pregame and make sure
- 52:09Speaker 7: it's okay. He doesn't have to throw today because they
- 52:13Speaker 7: literally just walk through I mean, he could just panomime
- 52:16Speaker 7: throwing the ball or not even having to do that
- 52:18Speaker 7: as they go through the game plan. So I understand
- 52:24Speaker 7: it is jarring for the starting quarterback of your division
- 52:27Speaker 7: champion team to get planned out of nowhere unquestionable, And
- 52:30Speaker 7: for about fifteen minutes, I thought he might not be played.
- 52:33Speaker 7: But I think he's playing.
- 52:34Speaker 2: Yeah, I think he's playing. I don't think there's any
- 52:37Speaker 2: doubt that he is playing. That's the first part. I mean,
- 52:40Speaker 2: he's going to strap it on. It's that time of
- 52:42Speaker 2: the year. He said, there's next to a zero percent
- 52:44Speaker 2: chance that he won't play. But then the second question
- 52:46Speaker 2: that has to be asked is, yeah, you're playing, You're
- 52:49Speaker 2: gutting it out. But is it going to affect your play,
- 52:53Speaker 2: because that's that's a major topic as well here this morning.
- 52:58Speaker 4: Yeah. I mean if he doesn't, if he can't do everything,
- 53:02Speaker 4: then there is a line somewhere of well, how much
- 53:05Speaker 4: are you helping the team versus hurting the team? Right?
- 53:07Speaker 4: If you can't, let's just say he couldn't throw the
- 53:09Speaker 4: ball more than twenty yards, Oh geez, well that's but
- 53:12Speaker 4: I don't think that's the case. I don't. I think
- 53:15Speaker 4: that you can feel a little twinge, and I mean
- 53:18Speaker 4: football players deal with way more pain than baseball players do.
- 53:21Speaker 4: But baseball players, over the course of a season, you're
- 53:23Speaker 4: gonna have multiple times where something hurts. I would have
- 53:26Speaker 4: like back spasms every once in a while. It's like
- 53:29Speaker 4: most of the time I could play through it. If
- 53:31Speaker 4: you a song and missed and it really tweaked around,
- 53:33Speaker 4: knocked the wind out of it, and then you're fine
- 53:35Speaker 4: to keep going with you bat, I wouldn't be surprised
- 53:38Speaker 4: if that's all where it is. But boy, it does
- 53:40Speaker 4: bring up the idea of you're gonna be watching him
- 53:42Speaker 4: a little more closely at the end of every thrower.
- 53:44Speaker 4: If he gets hit and guys are landing on him.
- 53:47Speaker 4: Does it tweak something or make something like that worse?
- 53:49Speaker 4: But I think no doubt he's playing like you said,
- 53:51Speaker 4: and I don't think it's gonna limit how he's gonna play.
- 53:54Speaker 2: Yeah, but it does introduce concern that we hoped we
- 53:58Speaker 2: didn't have to discuss. And it's not nothing, I'll tell
- 54:02Speaker 2: you that. I mean, I've been on the internet and
- 54:06Speaker 2: on social media for overnight and into this morning and
- 54:10Speaker 2: a lot of doctors way in and pretty much they
- 54:13Speaker 2: say nothing really to be concerned about. But it's not
- 54:16Speaker 2: like there's no concern here for Sam and this oblique
- 54:20Speaker 2: injury for it to happen at this point in the week,
- 54:23Speaker 2: and it does beg the question, how does a quarterback
- 54:26Speaker 2: even suffer an oblique injury during a bye week. We
- 54:29Speaker 2: were supposed to get the bye week so that we
- 54:31Speaker 2: didn't lose anybody else, that we would be even healthier
- 54:35Speaker 2: than we were the last time we faced the San
- 54:37Speaker 2: Francisco forty nine ers, and yet he and Charles Cross
- 54:41Speaker 2: and Ernest Jones ended up on that injury report this week,
- 54:46Speaker 2: and those guys weren't supposed to be on the injury
- 54:48Speaker 2: report this week.
- 54:49Speaker 4: Yeah, usually you have a buy and you just get
- 54:52Speaker 4: more healthy. Oh what, our starting quarterback has a lift tech?
- 54:57Speaker 4: What that doesn't usually happen? And I don't I think
- 55:00Speaker 4: it's a malpractice. I think they're out there practicing too hard.
- 55:02Speaker 4: It just is what it is. I mean, you end
- 55:05Speaker 4: up having some things that just happen. I mean, you're right.
- 55:07Speaker 4: I mean there's been people have gotten hurt getting out
- 55:09Speaker 4: of the bathtub. So I mean, I don't think either
- 55:12Speaker 4: one of these are going to limit those people or
- 55:15Speaker 4: affect the who's going to be in the starting lineup tomorrow.
- 55:19Speaker 4: But it definitely brings that into consideration, especially when you
- 55:22Speaker 4: were going into this, one of the big things was
- 55:24Speaker 4: not only are you playing well, not only are you
- 55:26Speaker 4: playing as well as anybody in the National Football League,
- 55:29Speaker 4: but you're as healthy as everybody else is too. And
- 55:31Speaker 4: all of a sudden during the bye week, you're coming
- 55:33Speaker 4: out of the bye week. You always had to have
- 55:35Speaker 4: a couple of guys med up. You do bring up
- 55:37Speaker 4: a great point, though. Can we put some handrails in
- 55:40Speaker 4: Sam Darnold's bathtub? Yeah, and it's a really dangerous thing.
- 55:43Speaker 6: Has read cord just in case, just in case of falls.
- 55:47Speaker 4: Yeah, maybe maybe one.
- 55:49Speaker 2: Of those mats that is extra like grippy, good idea.
- 55:54Speaker 6: Like a big bubble.
- 55:55Speaker 4: Yeah, tomorrow.
- 55:56Speaker 2: I mean, we're doing everything we can to protect Sam
- 55:58Speaker 2: from further Apparently not here left Eckle Charles Cross is
- 56:03Speaker 2: injured too. He did something new to his injured knee
- 56:07Speaker 2: that he just rehabbed, but he was a full participant
- 56:10Speaker 2: in practice yesterday. He has been declared good to go.
- 56:13Speaker 2: Kobe Bryant is going to be back. We haven't seen
- 56:16Speaker 2: him play in a while.
- 56:16Speaker 4: He's really good.
- 56:18Speaker 2: Ernest Jones had some sort of illness this week, but
- 56:21Speaker 2: he's been declared good to go. Same with Rieke Woolan
- 56:24Speaker 2: who ended up on the injury report. All those guys
- 56:26Speaker 2: have been cleared to play. A couple guys that weren't
- 56:29Speaker 2: they're going to be out. Elijah Arroyo also special teams
- 56:33Speaker 2: Menace Chaz Surat both going to be out for this game.
- 56:36Speaker 2: Now our injury report compared to San Francisco's injury report
- 56:40Speaker 2: night and day. Fred Warner's not going to make it
- 56:42Speaker 2: back in time, despite his fantastic visions of playing in
- 56:47Speaker 2: this game from earlier in the week. JayR. Brown one
- 56:51Speaker 2: of their corners and they are very limited at corner.
- 56:53Speaker 2: He's out. We know George Kittle is out. Linebacker de
- 56:57Speaker 2: Winters and wide receiver Ricky Piersoll are both questionable. Left
- 57:01Speaker 2: tackle superstar left tackle Trent Williams. He has a full
- 57:05Speaker 2: participation at practice yesterday, so he is good to go
- 57:10Speaker 2: as well. Kickoff at five o'clock from Loomenfield. Hawk's a
- 57:13Speaker 2: seven point favorite now, it was seven and a half
- 57:16Speaker 2: yesterday at this time. So the Sam Donold injury did
- 57:20Speaker 2: probably affect that money line that the odds a little bit,
- 57:25Speaker 2: but certainly not that much, not that significant. The expectation
- 57:29Speaker 2: is Sam's gonna play and not be hindered, and I
- 57:33Speaker 2: think as long as that's the case, Seahawks are advancing
- 57:36Speaker 2: to the NFC Conference Championship Game.
- 57:39Speaker 4: I mean everything points in that direction. And yet if
- 57:42Speaker 4: they just go take care of their business, go do
- 57:43Speaker 4: what they're capable of doing, they should be able to advance.
- 57:46Speaker 4: I think I think the seven points is a lot,
- 57:49Speaker 4: just it would be a lot in a division game.
- 57:51Speaker 4: Even I think the seven points is big, But then again,
- 57:54Speaker 4: it's because of how dominant you looked in Week eighteen
- 57:56Speaker 4: against him.
- 57:57Speaker 6: I just got very sproken to cold sweat over.
- 58:01Speaker 2: Yeah, it might be the poofball hat.
- 58:03Speaker 3: It might be well, that would be a hot sweat.
- 58:05Speaker 3: My hands are freezing, man, I'm freezing.
- 58:07Speaker 2: Oh just the energy, don't worry, you got all your superstitions.
- 58:11Speaker 6: Oh no, I'm it's just excitement. Now we got what
- 58:13Speaker 6: more than twenty four hours? It can take forever.
- 58:15Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it's gonna feel like it takes forever. The
- 58:19Speaker 2: NFL Divisional Round will actually start tomorrow in Denver, Colorado,
- 58:23Speaker 2: where the Buffalo Bills will be taking on the Broncos.
- 58:26Speaker 2: Kickoff at one thirty. And I don't know how much
- 58:29Speaker 2: credence to give this, but I have heard through the
- 58:32Speaker 2: grapevine that Bronco fans are really really worried.
- 58:37Speaker 4: Ooh man, that just gives me the weavy gems.
- 58:39Speaker 2: Yeah, that's uh yep.
- 58:42Speaker 4: I don't know if that was taken out of context
- 58:44Speaker 4: or not.
- 58:44Speaker 6: No, I think that's what you're talking about.
- 58:46Speaker 4: I don't think that's at all what I was talking about.
- 58:48Speaker 2: I don't know that's that's the sentiment of Broncos.
- 58:50Speaker 4: Sure, yeah, that's why I sound like, by the way,
- 58:54Speaker 4: I can't believe that just gives me GEVs. Oh man,
- 59:00Speaker 4: I don't have the web GB's. I mean it's I
- 59:03Speaker 4: don't have ultra confidence. But then again, I never will
- 59:06Speaker 4: be that guy that's ultra confidence.
- 59:08Speaker 2: Allen doesn't give me the web gbs.
- 59:11Speaker 4: I'm not even written for the Broncos. I actually cheer
- 59:14Speaker 4: four Josh Allen not tomorrow, Yeah, but no damn good.
- 59:18Speaker 4: But then again, there's there's a reason that they aren't
- 59:20Speaker 4: the number one seed.
- 59:22Speaker 2: Josh Allen's like the cal Rawley of the NFL.
- 59:24Speaker 6: Everyone just likes.
- 59:25Speaker 4: It is a lot like cal raw Yeah. Yeah, not tomorrow,
- 59:29Speaker 4: real hard maybe next year.
- 59:33Speaker 2: Houston at New England on Sunday. That kickoff is at
- 59:36Speaker 2: noon The Patriots are three point favorites there. The Rams
- 59:39Speaker 2: at Chicago. They're expecting frigid temperatures there. The Bears are
- 59:42Speaker 2: getting three and a half points of the Rams on
- 59:45Speaker 2: the road playing there in Chicago with Chicago weather, and
- 59:49Speaker 2: the experts still think they're gonna win by more than
- 59:52Speaker 2: a field goal. That kickoff will be Sunday at three
- 59:55Speaker 2: point thirty. So here it is my favorite weekend of
- 59:59Speaker 2: the entire sports year, the Saturday and Sunday that is
- 1:00:03Speaker 2: the Divisional round of the NFL Playoffs. Theoretically, the eight
- 1:00:07Speaker 2: best teams in the NFL, eight best football teams in
- 1:00:11Speaker 2: the world, playing doubleheaders on Saturday and Sunday. Not too
- 1:00:15Speaker 2: much football, not too little football.
- 1:00:18Speaker 6: Just right, just right, I agree.
- 1:00:23Speaker 2: College football, the National Championship is going to be Monday night,
- 1:00:27Speaker 2: So we are just three days away from Miami versus
- 1:00:31Speaker 2: Indiana in Miami. By the way, yeah, the Hurricanes, they're
- 1:00:35Speaker 2: getting a home game for the National Championship, but they
- 1:00:38Speaker 2: are facing the number one ranked team in the country
- 1:00:42Speaker 2: that is just destroying everything in its path. Leading up
- 1:00:46Speaker 2: to this game, we asked our college football insider, the
- 1:00:49Speaker 2: great Rick new Isil on Tuesday if anyone can come
- 1:00:52Speaker 2: within ten points of the Hoosiers.
- 1:00:54Speaker 10: It is really astounding to fathom what we're watching. Do
- 1:00:59Speaker 10: you realize since the turn of the century, everybody remembers
- 1:01:02Speaker 10: hy two k Indiana has had twenty one losing seasons
- 1:01:08Speaker 10: in this century.
- 1:01:10Speaker 12: Twenty one out of twenty out of twenty five losing seasons.
- 1:01:16Speaker 12: And yet here they are the undisputed number one team
- 1:01:20Speaker 12: in the land and not even close. They're laying waste
- 1:01:23Speaker 12: to their opponents.
- 1:01:25Speaker 10: And I mean the quarterback in two college football playoff games,
- 1:01:31Speaker 10: you know, the best in terms of a competition is
- 1:01:35Speaker 10: thirty one of thirty six and eight touchdowns. Thirty one
- 1:01:41Speaker 10: of thirty six with eight touchdowns, They are twenty of
- 1:01:45Speaker 10: twenty eight on third down conversions, they are and four
- 1:01:49Speaker 10: hundred yards rushing in the two games. I mean, they're
- 1:01:51Speaker 10: just mauling people.
- 1:01:53Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, it's as good a college football team
- 1:01:55Speaker 2: as I've ever seen. And for them to have just
- 1:02:00Speaker 2: keep getting better, not just from year to year, in
- 1:02:02Speaker 2: two years, game to game, yeah, getting better. I think
- 1:02:07Speaker 2: Miami's got a terrific football team. I am not surprised
- 1:02:10Speaker 2: that they're in the National Championship Game at all, but
- 1:02:13Speaker 2: I think they're gonna get steamrolled by the Hoosiers too.
- 1:02:17Speaker 4: We can only hope, Oh, you can only hope.
- 1:02:20Speaker 6: Let's go fighting gas man.
- 1:02:21Speaker 4: I mean yeah, I mean, normally I would not be
- 1:02:25Speaker 4: cheering for the team that just destroyed the team that
- 1:02:28Speaker 4: I root for. But I am all Hoosiers on this one,
- 1:02:31Speaker 4: and it does feel like if they go out there,
- 1:02:33Speaker 4: they feel a lot like the Seahawks as far as
- 1:02:37Speaker 4: just this game, where it feels like you go out
- 1:02:38Speaker 4: and do what you do and it should work. But
- 1:02:41Speaker 4: then again, I mean, there's just really been nobody. Miami
- 1:02:45Speaker 4: might have enough disruptive guys up front that they can
- 1:02:48Speaker 4: make it to where Fernando Munnosa finally does make some mistakes,
- 1:02:51Speaker 4: because right now he does not make mistakes.
- 1:02:53Speaker 3: I just don't know if Miami has enough discipline. Again,
- 1:02:56Speaker 3: you've got a team that that plays perfectly, I mean,
- 1:03:00Speaker 3: they are so clean, and then you've got Miami who
- 1:03:02Speaker 3: gets lots of penalties and almost shot themselves in the
- 1:03:06Speaker 3: foot at the end of the last game.
- 1:03:07Speaker 2: Yeah, I think they can match them talent for talent.
- 1:03:10Speaker 2: With the execution of the Indiana Hoosiers, twenty twenty five
- 1:03:14Speaker 2: football team might be the best.
- 1:03:16Speaker 6: In the history of college impeccable.
- 1:03:17Speaker 2: Yeah, they're just incredible. Kickoff is at five point thirty
- 1:03:22Speaker 2: on Monday night college basketball. You dub is hosting a
- 1:03:25Speaker 2: Sparta party tomorrow over there at headech as the Michigan
- 1:03:30Speaker 2: State Spartans and they're fantastic program and legendary head coach
- 1:03:34Speaker 2: are rolling in town spots for glory all right, is
- 1:03:41Speaker 2: though we're not even ranked.
- 1:03:42Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean glory that seems aggressive.
- 1:03:45Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I don't know if that's necessary glory.
- 1:03:50Speaker 2: That's the thing about Spartans may way over hype the situation.
- 1:03:54Speaker 2: Michigan State still has one of the top programs in
- 1:03:56Speaker 2: America this year fifteen and two, ranked twelfth in the country,
- 1:03:59Speaker 2: but they're not as good as that team that played
- 1:04:01Speaker 2: here Wednesday, also from the state of Michigan. U dubb
- 1:04:05Speaker 2: is coming off that loss to number four Wolverines. They
- 1:04:08Speaker 2: sit at ten and seven on the season. They're two
- 1:04:10Speaker 2: and four and Big Ten play tip off In some
- 1:04:13Speaker 2: areas they're still saying TVD but it is going to
- 1:04:17Speaker 2: be at three o'clock. So you could pull off the
- 1:04:19Speaker 2: Spencer Hawes double edder and try to go to both games,
- 1:04:23Speaker 2: which he and his wife are going to try to
- 1:04:24Speaker 2: pull off it sounds like or you know, you can
- 1:04:28Speaker 2: pick and choose what you're gonna watch. But that's a
- 1:04:30Speaker 2: pretty good double dip, certainly for television viewing on Saturday
- 1:04:33Speaker 2: here in Seattle.
- 1:04:34Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 1:04:34Speaker 4: Not the easiest probably to get from one to the other.
- 1:04:37Speaker 4: Maybe I'd just get right on, grab the coattails of
- 1:04:40Speaker 4: Spencer Hawes and just follow wherever he goes. But in
- 1:04:43Speaker 4: clear the path he can see above won't creep him
- 1:04:45Speaker 4: out of the path of least resistance would be just
- 1:04:48Speaker 4: a Congo line, Yeah, from the U dub game. Just there.
- 1:04:51Speaker 4: We just grab on to him. He just just a
- 1:04:54Speaker 4: you know, a trail of people coming down to Lumen
- 1:04:56Speaker 4: and Keeve of mine.
- 1:04:57Speaker 2: It is a birthday gift for his wife, So bring
- 1:04:59Speaker 2: something for missus. Holl Yeah, but all the walk I
- 1:05:02Speaker 2: don't care at this point.
- 1:05:03Speaker 6: Spoiler Hawes, Yeah, cheers, Joey.
- 1:05:08Speaker 7: Uh.
- 1:05:09Speaker 2: The cracking last night, well, I mean they're back to
- 1:05:14Speaker 2: not being able to pull off these wins. Uh and
- 1:05:17Speaker 2: on this road trip that's back to back losses.
- 1:05:20Speaker 8: Cherret McCann near side tried to rip it back across
- 1:05:23Speaker 8: four Beneers, ending up to the New Stole sell now
- 1:05:26Speaker 8: ears picked off by castileca back, Yeah do God and
- 1:05:30Speaker 8: they score Mark cast Elects stripping Mane eveineers in tight
- 1:05:38Speaker 8: on Joey the cord. It's a two goal lead, three.
- 1:05:44Speaker 2: One, Cracking did Mega three to two. That's ever It
- 1:05:47Speaker 2: fits you on the call right here on the flagship
- 1:05:49Speaker 2: sports Radio ninety three point three kJ r f M,
- 1:05:51Speaker 2: as Eddie Oldchik said last night. And I love Eddie
- 1:05:53Speaker 2: Oldchick's analysis. Love Alice too. We got some good people
- 1:05:56Speaker 2: calling hockey games in this year. Down Uh, he said, Man,
- 1:06:00Speaker 2: you can't compound the mistake that but Deer's made by
- 1:06:03Speaker 2: not making that. Say, that was a very savable shot
- 1:06:06Speaker 2: on goal and it just got through. The Bruins end
- 1:06:10Speaker 2: up winning by a final score of four to two
- 1:06:12Speaker 2: in the contest. Cracking Him now lost four of their
- 1:06:15Speaker 2: last five games, and they can't let this turn into
- 1:06:18Speaker 2: a skid. They'll be at Utah taking on the Mammoth
- 1:06:22Speaker 2: tomorrow at two o'clock. It's gonna get wooly.
- 1:06:27Speaker 6: That should be their slogan.
- 1:06:29Speaker 2: I wanted to be finally Hot Stove News, which will
- 1:06:33Speaker 2: tell you about in a moment, But our Hot Stove
- 1:06:35Speaker 2: News up in Hell was that. Kyle Rowley joined the
- 1:06:38Speaker 2: radio program yesterday, and even though he's coming off a
- 1:06:42Speaker 2: runner up MVP season to whistle Teeth, he still went
- 1:06:47Speaker 2: into this offseason with one mindset. I got things to
- 1:06:51Speaker 2: work on.
- 1:06:52Speaker 13: Yeah, I think just insistency, you know, really trying to
- 1:06:55Speaker 13: hammer that home. But I took a big step forward
- 1:06:58Speaker 13: last year with that at the play, so really just
- 1:07:02Speaker 13: trying to double down on that. Really, just trying to
- 1:07:04Speaker 13: stay consistent with my work, trying to trust the process.
- 1:07:07Speaker 13: I think that's that's always a big thing, you know,
- 1:07:09Speaker 13: trying to limit strac to als, trying to put a
- 1:07:12Speaker 13: few more balls to play here and there, and and
- 1:07:15Speaker 13: obviously lots to work on, you know, from the defensive.
- 1:07:18Speaker 4: Front as well. You know, I gotta uh, you know.
- 1:07:21Speaker 13: Trying to work on my arm a little bit. Uh,
- 1:07:23Speaker 13: work on some framing, new abs coming, so it's gonna
- 1:07:26Speaker 13: be interesting with that, and uh, you know, just work
- 1:07:29Speaker 13: on all around game, you know, constantly trying to think
- 1:07:31Speaker 13: of ways to get the team better, you know, whether
- 1:07:33Speaker 13: that's something I could do, and and and uh, you
- 1:07:37Speaker 13: know on the you know, pitching side of things, you know,
- 1:07:39Speaker 13: working on you know, game calling, prepping for games, what
- 1:07:42Speaker 13: can what can we do to help these guys, you know,
- 1:07:45Speaker 13: be even better than the already? Ares there another way
- 1:07:47Speaker 13: you can go about it? So you know, those are
- 1:07:50Speaker 13: all all things that you know, I think about, and
- 1:07:52Speaker 13: you know I know a lot of people here in
- 1:07:55Speaker 13: the organization thinking about as well.
- 1:07:56Speaker 2: I know when I watched Kyle Raley play last year,
- 1:07:59Speaker 2: I was in there putting a list together. Man, this
- 1:08:01Speaker 2: guy could really get better at all these things.
- 1:08:04Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, same here man. Pretty much daily. I was like,
- 1:08:07Speaker 4: this guy, if he wants to stick around, man, get
- 1:08:12Speaker 4: better at calling games. I mean, this picture staff is
- 1:08:15Speaker 4: not going to like throwing to you. And I don't know, Man,
- 1:08:18Speaker 4: put the ball in play a little more, maybe he'd
- 1:08:21Speaker 4: have more than sixty homers.
- 1:08:22Speaker 2: You know, well, we set the over under it one hundred.
- 1:08:25Speaker 2: Brad Adam reached out to him last night. He took
- 1:08:28Speaker 2: the over.
- 1:08:29Speaker 3: Yeah, so I said that was being yeah a little.
- 1:08:32Speaker 3: I thought, I thought you should have gone higher.
- 1:08:34Speaker 2: I'm going to take the under one thirteen.
- 1:08:38Speaker 4: I think he's a bit of an arrogant guy. I'm
- 1:08:40Speaker 4: gonna go ahead and take the under. I don't think
- 1:08:42Speaker 4: he probably gets any more than eighty.
- 1:08:47Speaker 2: If you want to hear the entire twenty minute conversation,
- 1:08:49Speaker 2: and we spent a lot of time with it talking football.
- 1:08:51Speaker 2: He wanted to talk football with us with the Seahawks
- 1:08:53Speaker 2: playing tomorrow night. He's a newly christened Seahawks fan. Uh

- 1:09:46Speaker 9: You would be surprised how much I like that Ti
- 1:09:49Speaker 9: And that's that's good workout music.
- 1:09:51Speaker 4: I'll tell you that I'm with.
- 1:09:52Speaker 2: You Football Friday, sponsored by Tito's Handmade Vodka. That would
- 1:09:58Speaker 2: not be complete without checking in with our qu you
- 1:10:00Speaker 2: be one before the big game tomorrow night. Hugh Millen
- 1:10:03Speaker 2: is with us right here on Chuck and Buck in
- 1:10:06Speaker 2: the mornings for his weekly X's and O segment, Happy
- 1:10:10Speaker 2: Divisional Round of the Playoffs Friday to.
- 1:10:12Speaker 9: You, sir, Yeah, it's great, this is awesome. I mean,
- 1:10:15Speaker 9: you just kind of relish in these times. We don't
- 1:10:17Speaker 9: get many number one seeds. Yeah, you know, in fifty
- 1:10:21Speaker 9: years of football, so you just kind of lap it
- 1:10:23Speaker 9: up and hopefully it's the catalyst to propel the see
- 1:10:27Speaker 9: ours of the Super Bowl.
- 1:10:28Speaker 2: Well, I'm sure our listeners have been waiting all morning
- 1:10:32Speaker 2: long to get your take on what the Sam Darnold
- 1:10:36Speaker 2: oblique injury is in your mind, So let's not beat
- 1:10:41Speaker 2: around the bush. What was your reaction when you heard
- 1:10:43Speaker 2: that news?
- 1:10:44Speaker 9: No, I don't like it. You know, I've always said
- 1:10:47Speaker 9: the degree to which we are concerned about an unwanted
- 1:10:50Speaker 9: event is the product of two factors. Probability, times magnitude.
- 1:10:56Speaker 9: You know, if you have your little niece at the
- 1:10:59Speaker 9: breakfast table and she might spill the orange juice, you
- 1:11:02Speaker 9: don't worry about it much. It's probably gonna happen, as
- 1:11:05Speaker 9: darn good chances gonna happen. It's not big magnitude. If
- 1:11:07Speaker 9: we want to talk about probability of Sam Darnold not
- 1:11:13Speaker 9: being able to play a portion of this game, it's
- 1:11:17Speaker 9: probably low. But if it were to happen, and then
- 1:11:20Speaker 9: you can consider the consequences of what that means for
- 1:11:23Speaker 9: the next week and what have you, it's pretty big
- 1:11:25Speaker 9: magnitude by you know, sports standards. So I think there's
- 1:11:30Speaker 9: a concern greater than nothing.
- 1:11:32Speaker 4: Yeah, well, for sure, it's greater than nothing. But I
- 1:11:35Speaker 4: mean it's did you ever have a time when you
- 1:11:38Speaker 4: tweaked your side a little bit and and felt it
- 1:11:41Speaker 4: or no, well, I.
- 1:11:42Speaker 9: Had a back remember playing at the Bengals and walking
- 1:11:46Speaker 9: around going how the hell am I going to play
- 1:11:47Speaker 9: in this game? And you get in the shower and
- 1:11:49Speaker 9: you know, try and get the heat on it and
- 1:11:51Speaker 9: what have you. But the you can get injections. I
- 1:11:55Speaker 9: think that this would be the type of injury that
- 1:11:57Speaker 9: he can get a lighta Kane or whatever it is
- 1:12:00Speaker 9: they're going to use to numb the pain right there
- 1:12:03Speaker 9: in the musclebelly, soft tissue away from the tenons, presumably,
- 1:12:07Speaker 9: so there's adrenaline. So yeah, you can fight through it.
- 1:12:11Speaker 9: But look, Drew Brees had this in twenty fourteen in
- 1:12:15Speaker 9: training camp. He said it bothered him all through the year.
- 1:12:18Speaker 9: He couldn't cut loose and changed his mechanics. Quinn Ewers
- 1:12:22Speaker 9: had this this injury. Both of these guys were on
- 1:12:26Speaker 9: their left side. Quinn Ewers heard it against Michigan in
- 1:12:29Speaker 9: twenty twenty four thought he was gonna be okay. Played
- 1:12:33Speaker 9: early in the Texas San Antonio game, pulled aside, pulled
- 1:12:37Speaker 9: himself out of the game. I mean, guys have had
- 1:12:39Speaker 9: to come out of the George Springer hate to pick
- 1:12:41Speaker 9: a scab. Now his was on the right side, but
- 1:12:44Speaker 9: you know, he missed three games of the World Series,
- 1:12:46Speaker 9: and we all wish he missed four. But you know, oblique,
- 1:12:50Speaker 9: you know, it's a twisting motion, swinging a golf balls,
- 1:12:54Speaker 9: excuse me, a golf club, a bat, all the rotational
- 1:13:00Speaker 9: you know, pitching, throwing, Yeah, they're all similar, and and
- 1:13:03Speaker 9: you need the oblique the left side, I think is
- 1:13:06Speaker 9: slightly worse than the right side. When the left on
- 1:13:09Speaker 9: the eccentric part, when you're you're you're you're creating a
- 1:13:11Speaker 9: little torque like you know, winding a rubber band, not
- 1:13:14Speaker 9: stretching rubber band, but whinding a rubber band.
- 1:13:17Speaker 7: Uh.
- 1:13:18Speaker 9: And then and then as you uh uh pull through
- 1:13:22Speaker 9: and you're accelerating the ball through that there's a strain
- 1:13:25Speaker 9: on that oblique and then and and that muscle is
- 1:13:27Speaker 9: also used to stop. But but there could be pain,
- 1:13:30Speaker 9: you know, before, during, and after the release. And and
- 1:13:33Speaker 9: I think the left side's probably slightly worse than than
- 1:13:37Speaker 9: having a strain on the right side. So it's probably
- 1:13:40Speaker 9: gonna be fine, but it's not the state right now.
- 1:13:44Speaker 9: Sam Darnal, let's take him out his word. He said
- 1:13:47Speaker 9: it's next to zero that I won't play. The question
- 1:13:50Speaker 9: is what can how ripe is it for to be
- 1:13:54Speaker 9: exacerbated either in warm ups or you know, in a game,
- 1:13:59Speaker 9: you know he has to move a abruptly or look,
- 1:14:01Speaker 9: it's on his left side, he's standing in the pocket.
- 1:14:04Speaker 9: If he's in a throwing position, his hips are relatively
- 1:14:07Speaker 9: perpendicular to the line of scrimmage. What's exposed to the defense.
- 1:14:11Speaker 9: Now he's he's gone and told the forty nine ers
- 1:14:13Speaker 9: it's his left side. So now is there going to
- 1:14:16Speaker 9: be a little extra oomph on guys four guys on
- 1:14:20Speaker 9: the forty nine ers to give him a shot in
- 1:14:21Speaker 9: that oblique?
- 1:14:22Speaker 4: I would think so.
- 1:14:23Speaker 9: I mean, I just watched the Brock Perdy tape and
- 1:14:25Speaker 9: i I'm from last game and Nick emon Worri got
- 1:14:30Speaker 9: a shot into the left side right where Brock Purdy would.
- 1:14:34Speaker 9: I mean, he had a hell of a blast on
- 1:14:36Speaker 9: Purdy and was the second hardest he took other than
- 1:14:39Speaker 9: that whipsaw that he took from Leonard Williams and Derek
- 1:14:43Speaker 9: Hall high load him. But there was a hard hit
- 1:14:47Speaker 9: right in the oblique. So so this could be exacerbated
- 1:14:50Speaker 9: on a number of ways. So yeah, I'm kind of
- 1:14:52Speaker 9: holding my breath about it.
- 1:14:54Speaker 2: Hugh Mellen is with us x's and o's here on
- 1:14:56Speaker 2: this Friday, brought to you by Frost Brewed Corps Light Chill.
- 1:15:01Speaker 2: Does it Does it affect the game plan offensively at all?
- 1:15:04Speaker 2: I mean, if are you gonna call the game differently
- 1:15:07Speaker 2: to protect him differently for this game knowing that he
- 1:15:11Speaker 2: has this injury, Well there might be fewer boot lefts,
- 1:15:17Speaker 2: you know, and for whatever reason, Clint Kubiak, he's probably
- 1:15:19Speaker 2: called more boot lefts than boot rights, which is odd
- 1:15:22Speaker 2: because it's the right handed quarterback the boot or the
- 1:15:25Speaker 2: naked meaning you fake to the right and then Darnold's
- 1:15:27Speaker 2: coming around the left side. I think there'd be more
- 1:15:31Speaker 2: torque if you had to line up and get your hips,
- 1:15:34Speaker 2: try to get a hips square and throw those intermediate
- 1:15:37Speaker 2: crossing routes that he's hit a number of them on
- 1:15:39Speaker 2: Jackson Smith and Jigba. You may see fewer of those.
- 1:15:43Speaker 2: You know, they'll be monitoring. Hey, how do you feel
- 1:15:45Speaker 2: whether or not you can drive the ball or throw
- 1:15:48Speaker 2: the ball deep?
- 1:15:49Speaker 9: You know, it's possible that he could play at something
- 1:15:52Speaker 9: less than one hundred percent. You kind of manage it.
- 1:15:54Speaker 9: Don't have to crank it up and torque it. You know,
- 1:15:58Speaker 9: he could. He could, you know, throw checkdowns where otherwise
- 1:16:02Speaker 9: would want to rip the ball. Yeah, I mean I
- 1:16:05Speaker 9: I've had to operate sometimes with that where I know
- 1:16:07Speaker 9: I can't crank it up due to some pain issues.
- 1:16:10Speaker 9: I had a right shoulder uh separation, and and it
- 1:16:15Speaker 9: was it was it was last last week of training
- 1:16:20Speaker 9: camp and and uh I didn't want to tell the
- 1:16:22Speaker 9: training staff because I didn't want him to go get
- 1:16:24Speaker 9: a new quarterback. And so we go on to the
- 1:16:26Speaker 9: first week I'm playing for the Broncos and always finally
- 1:16:30Speaker 9: the only the only two games in my life.
- 1:16:31Speaker 4: Where I go, God, I don't hope I don't play.
- 1:16:34Speaker 2: Because I knew I wasn't you know.
- 1:16:36Speaker 9: I kind of managed the week where I just kind
- 1:16:38Speaker 9: of threw checkdowns, didn't really tell anybody, and and uh
- 1:16:41Speaker 9: then I was.
- 1:16:42Speaker 2: Fine the next week. But it it errate I. I divert.
- 1:16:45Speaker 9: But there is a point to that story that that
- 1:16:48Speaker 9: here I was knowing that I couldn't rip the ball,
- 1:16:52Speaker 9: which is what Sam Darnold may be. And and and
- 1:16:55Speaker 9: yet e mail he still may play and just never
- 1:16:59Speaker 9: elect to take a shot where he's.
- 1:17:02Speaker 4: Ripping the ball.
- 1:17:03Speaker 9: Now, one thing it'll be interesting to see is Jalen Milroll.
- 1:17:07Speaker 9: Is he activated in this game for numerous games he
- 1:17:11Speaker 9: has not been activated. That would obviously take a roster
- 1:17:13Speaker 9: spot from presumably a special team what have you, But
- 1:17:16Speaker 9: that might be an indication an hour before the game
- 1:17:19Speaker 9: as to how they feel about this.
- 1:17:22Speaker 4: Hugh, I got a story. I'm wondering if this is possible.
- 1:17:26Speaker 4: In the NFL. I was in Double A one year.
- 1:17:29Speaker 4: I was playing in Orlando and there was I was
- 1:17:32Speaker 4: out the night before with a guy and he was
- 1:17:35Speaker 4: actually a dude that I knew that was going to
- 1:17:36Speaker 4: be pitching against us the next day. I ended up
- 1:17:39Speaker 4: telling him he kind of was dicing me up. He
- 1:17:41Speaker 4: could beat me with a slider, he could beat me
- 1:17:42Speaker 4: with his fastball. He threw guy named Matt White, first
- 1:17:45Speaker 4: rounder for the Tampa Bay Rays, he could throw ninety
- 1:17:47Speaker 4: eight ninety nine. So we're out having beers. And I
- 1:17:50Speaker 4: ended up telling him on purpose. I said, man, I jammed.
- 1:17:54Speaker 4: I got jammed not long ago. My hand, that meaty
- 1:17:57Speaker 4: part between your thumb and your index finger is all
- 1:18:00Speaker 4: all bruised. I mean, it just killed me. I ended
- 1:18:02Speaker 4: up saying it to him on purpose, knowing that the
- 1:18:05Speaker 4: next day he was gonna try to jam me. Well,
- 1:18:07Speaker 4: I about killed Mickey Mouse at Disney World. I hit
- 1:18:09Speaker 4: with ball five hundred and fifty feet to the left field.
- 1:18:13Speaker 4: I'm wondering, is there a chance?
- 1:18:16Speaker 2: Is there a chance?
- 1:18:16Speaker 4: Honestly, I would think that the forty nine ers are thinking, Okay,
- 1:18:20Speaker 4: we gave up one hundred and eighty yards on the
- 1:18:21Speaker 4: ground to these guys. But we can't necessarily just you know,
- 1:18:25Speaker 4: you know, turn a blind eye to Jackson Smith and
- 1:18:27Speaker 4: Jibb in this passing game. Is there a chance that
- 1:18:30Speaker 4: NFL teams a coach that do we have a genius
- 1:18:32Speaker 4: of a coach and quarterback that be like, hey, how
- 1:18:35Speaker 4: about this idea, Let's play this little game, play that
- 1:18:37Speaker 4: up a little bit. They might go single safety, and
- 1:18:39Speaker 4: would you just whoop them over the top real quick.
- 1:18:44Speaker 9: I love the story that you told. I mean anything
- 1:18:47Speaker 9: that involves both five hundred and fifty feet home runs
- 1:18:50Speaker 9: and Mickey Mouse, that's that's the foundation of a great story,
- 1:18:54Speaker 9: and I'd love to play. I would say no, not
- 1:18:57Speaker 9: just no, not even remotely know okay, because that would
- 1:19:02Speaker 9: involve because what are some of the other facts we
- 1:19:04Speaker 9: know about this? Maybe the chatter maybe you might get
- 1:19:07Speaker 9: me to buy along. I would say, they wouldn't waste
- 1:19:09Speaker 9: their time. But they're not gonna put Drew lock in
- 1:19:14Speaker 9: for one extra rep on the Friday practice. Say well,
- 1:19:19Speaker 9: it's Thursday. Well it's in their parlance it's Friday, because
- 1:19:22Speaker 9: its two days before. They're not gonna take you know,
- 1:19:24Speaker 9: that's red zone day, that short yardage goal line day.
- 1:19:27Speaker 9: It's two minute day. You know they're not gonna let
- 1:19:30Speaker 9: Drew Locke take one extra snap from Sam Darnold for
- 1:19:36Speaker 9: the purposes of trying to play a game in that regard,
- 1:19:39Speaker 9: that would be my take.
- 1:19:41Speaker 4: I make it. I could be wrong.
- 1:19:42Speaker 2: I've been wrong many times before, but I would think
- 1:19:45Speaker 2: no on that. Well, they might do it in the future.
- 1:19:48Speaker 9: They heard that story more Disney characters.
- 1:19:51Speaker 4: Just me playing a game one on one. It's not
- 1:19:54Speaker 4: me doing taking an entire organization by hostage.
- 1:19:57Speaker 2: I think what he was trying to tell you is
- 1:19:59Speaker 2: that you're old. Disney story was goofy.
- 1:20:03Speaker 4: It was, but it works what I did.
- 1:20:09Speaker 2: Axes and those with Hugh Millon brought to you by
- 1:20:11Speaker 2: frostbrewed cors Light. All Right, you brought up Drew Lock.
- 1:20:15Speaker 2: If this thing, I mean, let's the worst case scenario
- 1:20:18Speaker 2: has to be added over to Drew Lock. How do
- 1:20:20Speaker 2: you feel about Drew Lock winning this game Saturday? How
- 1:20:22Speaker 2: do you feel about Drew Lock being the Super Bowl
- 1:20:24Speaker 2: champion quarterback?
- 1:20:26Speaker 9: Well, it's happened. Jeff Hostetler won a Super Bowl, did
- 1:20:30Speaker 9: he not? In relief of Phil Simms, we can go
- 1:20:34Speaker 9: back to was Earl Morale. He played right up until
- 1:20:39Speaker 9: I think Bob Greasy finished the Super Bowl, but Earl
- 1:20:41Speaker 9: Moral played through the playoffs. You know, you know, I
- 1:20:44Speaker 9: mean if I'm dragging out in nineteen seventy two stuff
- 1:20:47Speaker 9: or one, whatever it was. I you know, I'm sure
- 1:20:51Speaker 9: there's other examples. But look, I think Drew lock is
- 1:20:56Speaker 9: a talented guy. He has starter traits. Let me say again,
- 1:20:59Speaker 9: I would argue absolutely, He's tall, he moves great, he's
- 1:21:03Speaker 9: got velocity on the football. You could argue he's got
- 1:21:06Speaker 9: a quicker release than most, even Sam Darnolds. So this
- 1:21:10Speaker 9: has got a guy who is not without traits. I
- 1:21:13Speaker 9: know that's a double negative. Now why is he not
- 1:21:16Speaker 9: a starting quarterback? Well, the reason why most talented guys
- 1:21:20Speaker 9: aren't starting quarterbacks it's because of how you process. That's
- 1:21:24Speaker 9: the hard part of playing the NFL is can you
- 1:21:28Speaker 9: see the movie before it plays? What's your feel for
- 1:21:33Speaker 9: being anticipatory and reading defenses throw to the right guy
- 1:21:37Speaker 9: at the right time accurately. That's the That's the part
- 1:21:40Speaker 9: that gets most guys, and that's the reason why Drew
- 1:21:43Speaker 9: Locke is a you know, fringe starter slash good backup.
- 1:21:48Speaker 9: But yes, I think that they could win certainly the
- 1:21:51Speaker 9: forty nine er game. The degree of difficulty presumably would
- 1:21:54Speaker 9: would rise next week, and who knows who you'd play
- 1:21:58Speaker 9: in the super presumer. I think they can beat the
- 1:22:01Speaker 9: forty nine ers with Drew Locke, uh, just because we
- 1:22:05Speaker 9: remember how dominant the defense was and in the degree
- 1:22:09Speaker 9: to which San Francisco's beat up. All right, so we
- 1:22:12Speaker 9: discussed worst case scenario, Let's discuss the best case scenario.
- 1:22:15Speaker 2: Sam Donald is just fine tomorrow night, zero restrictions. He's
- 1:22:19Speaker 2: making every throw and hasn't isn't having any difficulty. It's
- 1:22:23Speaker 2: as if he just had a bad bit of beef
- 1:22:26Speaker 2: and he passed it overnight and everything is just fine.
- 1:22:29Speaker 2: So what kind of game plan do you walk a
- 1:22:32Speaker 2: Disney character into that? So I'm sorry you're sleep Come on,
- 1:22:37Speaker 2: what kind of game plan would you like to see
- 1:22:40Speaker 2: them implement? You want to see an aggressive one? Do
- 1:22:42Speaker 2: you want to see a conservative one? Considering how well
- 1:22:44Speaker 2: your defense is playing. If Sam Donald is one hundred percent,
- 1:22:49Speaker 2: I mean, he's as good as Donald Duck out there,
- 1:22:52Speaker 2: what are you gonna do with Sam and your game
- 1:22:55Speaker 2: plan tomorrow night?
- 1:22:56Speaker 9: Well, I would like to see them open it up up, particularly,
- 1:23:01Speaker 9: you know in the red zone. You know, here you
- 1:23:04Speaker 9: got Donald in the red zone, fringe area that's just
- 1:23:07Speaker 9: outside the red zone. On plays where the balls in
- 1:23:11Speaker 9: the air fifteen yards or more, you know, when they're
- 1:23:13Speaker 9: taking some shots down in there. Donald has one hundred
- 1:23:16Speaker 9: and forty five passer rating, that's number one in the NFL.
- 1:23:20Speaker 9: But while the Rams have thirty nine of those shots,
- 1:23:23Speaker 9: the Seahawks have just eighteen, like less, obviously less than half.
- 1:23:27Speaker 9: So I think there's some areas that Seattle can crank
- 1:23:32Speaker 9: it up. I mean, the Seahorks are number one in
- 1:23:34Speaker 9: the NFL, and in completions fifty yards or more they
- 1:23:38Speaker 9: have seven on the seat and the forty.
- 1:23:39Speaker 2: Nine ers only have one.
- 1:23:40Speaker 9: Seattle's that's first place, but they haven't done it since
- 1:23:44Speaker 9: the Tennessee game in Week twelve, So I think some
- 1:23:48Speaker 9: of those big plays have dried up. The point scoring
- 1:23:51Speaker 9: has has been diminished, and I would rather think that
- 1:23:56Speaker 9: because of the defensive dominance, that you can afford to
- 1:24:01Speaker 9: be aggressive offensively, and particularly in the red zone where
- 1:24:04Speaker 9: they've been struggling. They've you know, they've they've been averaging
- 1:24:07Speaker 9: two point two yards per rush on first down. Everything's
- 1:24:12Speaker 9: kind of crowded down there, maybe it's better to go
- 1:24:14Speaker 9: play actions take a shot to the back of the
- 1:24:16Speaker 9: end zone, and so in an event, would I would
- 1:24:19Speaker 9: like to see them more aggressive. I don't think that
- 1:24:23Speaker 9: Mike McDonald always feels that way. I have a good
- 1:24:26Speaker 9: reason to believe that. There's been times, including the forty
- 1:24:30Speaker 9: nine er game, where McDonald gets on the headset and
- 1:24:33Speaker 9: and kind of says, look, we are playing so great
- 1:24:36Speaker 9: on defense.
- 1:24:37Speaker 4: We're good.
- 1:24:38Speaker 9: Just don't gumb this thing up, and we're gonna win
- 1:24:40Speaker 9: this football game. So that that has been in play,
- 1:24:44Speaker 9: and it may be in play tomorrow.
- 1:24:47Speaker 4: Night, Well it sounds like maybe somebody needs to kiss
- 1:24:50Speaker 4: Clint Kubiak like sleeping beauty, get him to wake up. Oh,
- 1:24:54Speaker 4: I mean, I am. I'm curious. That's a little dope too,
- 1:24:59Speaker 4: if I'm super When it comes to Disney the time
- 1:25:03Speaker 4: of possession, I understand that it's not just some stat that.
- 1:25:06Speaker 4: I mean, it has something to do with your third
- 1:25:08Speaker 4: down efficiency and all kinds of different stuff. And yet
- 1:25:11Speaker 4: if you look at the two games, one was all
- 1:25:13Speaker 4: the way back in week one versus a week eighteen,
- 1:25:16Speaker 4: they are almost mirror images of each other as far
- 1:25:19Speaker 4: as who controlled it. I mean, I think that a
- 1:25:21Speaker 4: big part of beating San Francisco, especially if you dominate
- 1:25:24Speaker 4: them and do it decisively like they did in week eighteen,
- 1:25:29Speaker 4: is not having Shanahan get a whole bunch of cracks
- 1:25:33Speaker 4: at that thing, and so you staying on the field
- 1:25:35Speaker 4: and you getting them off the field as soon as possible.
- 1:25:38Speaker 4: What would be your most important thing? Would it be
- 1:25:40Speaker 4: running the ball efficiently? Or I mean it's just as
- 1:25:43Speaker 4: simple as getting into third and short third and manageable.
- 1:25:47Speaker 4: What's the most important thing for this team to be
- 1:25:50Speaker 4: able to stay on the field offensively and possibly win
- 1:25:53Speaker 4: that time of possession battle?
- 1:25:54Speaker 2: Yeah?
- 1:25:56Speaker 9: Don't I think that winning the time of possession battle?
- 1:26:00Speaker 9: You know, it becomes a final outcome that you don't
- 1:26:05Speaker 9: really set your sights on, in my opinion. You go
- 1:26:10Speaker 9: and you say, look, the best thing you can do
- 1:26:12Speaker 9: offensively is what stays on the field. The worst thing
- 1:26:14Speaker 9: that kills time of possession is your punter. Now, time
- 1:26:18Speaker 9: of possession is a stat that you say, Okay, what
- 1:26:21Speaker 9: do we glean from that? Well, it's an offense and
- 1:26:24Speaker 9: defense statistic. There's sometimes I look at the drive chart
- 1:26:28Speaker 9: and everybody's going three and out or four and out,
- 1:26:32Speaker 9: and then you can have equal time of possession, and
- 1:26:34Speaker 9: then there's other times where you say, well, everybody's got eight, ten,
- 1:26:38Speaker 9: eleven play drives, and then the time of possessions even well,
- 1:26:42Speaker 9: now those are two totally different football games, right, And
- 1:26:45Speaker 9: then other times, you know, some of the best offenses
- 1:26:48Speaker 9: they don't have great time of possession because they get
- 1:26:51Speaker 9: such big plays and they score they're like lightning strikes.
- 1:26:54Speaker 9: And so I think for Seattle, yes, we can say
- 1:26:59Speaker 9: that there's going to be a core time of possession.
- 1:27:01Speaker 9: For sure. You know they want Seattle wants to run
- 1:27:04Speaker 9: the football, take advantage of that defense limit the big
- 1:27:07Speaker 9: plays make the forty nine ers have to march. But
- 1:27:12Speaker 9: but I don't know that they should be fixated on that.
- 1:27:15Speaker 9: I think that the key is that I said, the
- 1:27:20Speaker 9: last time they played, the Seahawks out forty nine or
- 1:27:22Speaker 9: the forty nine ers, And one stat that just keeps
- 1:27:26Speaker 9: coming to me. I think of the forty nine ers,
- 1:27:28Speaker 9: they're twenty one personnel team. They've got a Hall of
- 1:27:30Speaker 9: Fame fullback in U Steffan. He's been in the Pro
- 1:27:32Speaker 9: Bowl ten times. That means he's probably going to be
- 1:27:35Speaker 9: in Canton. And you know when they've had George Kittle.
- 1:27:38Speaker 9: They just want to get They want to get into
- 1:27:41Speaker 9: the night formation and run the lead, put an extra
- 1:27:47Speaker 9: blocker at the point of attack, and that's what they do,
- 1:27:49Speaker 9: you know. And yet in the last game, the forty
- 1:27:52Speaker 9: nine Ers had three running plays under center with the
- 1:27:57Speaker 9: fullback in the backfield. Seattle had third, and I mean
- 1:28:02Speaker 9: they eleven x him now, and so now I beg
- 1:28:06Speaker 9: your pardon. That wasn't all with a fullback, but getting
- 1:28:10Speaker 9: under center and running the football thirty three to three.
- 1:28:14Speaker 9: And so at any event, they just adopted this physicality
- 1:28:20Speaker 9: to their game plan and their execution, and they just
- 1:28:24Speaker 9: out physicaled them in every way. The forty nine Ers
- 1:28:27Speaker 9: had ten runs to running backs and Seattle played with
- 1:28:32Speaker 9: a light box on nine of those ten. They had
- 1:28:36Speaker 9: the both safeties back away. They handled the running game
- 1:28:40Speaker 9: with just the front seven. And that was with a
- 1:28:44Speaker 9: nickel because because I've been telling you that Nick and
- 1:28:49Speaker 9: won even worry if I was studying the Seax.
- 1:28:50Speaker 2: He's just a nickel.
- 1:28:51Speaker 4: Sam.
- 1:28:52Speaker 2: He doesn't play in the back end.
- 1:28:54Speaker 9: And he's got five plays this year, a big pardon,
- 1:28:57Speaker 9: six plays this year where he's been a back half safety.
- 1:29:01Speaker 9: Cam Chancellor, his strong safety counterpart in twenty thirteen, the
- 1:29:05Speaker 9: Super Bowl year, he had I think about four hundred
- 1:29:08Speaker 9: and ten, well over four hundred snaps as a post safety.
- 1:29:12Speaker 9: They're different positions. Nick Ammon Warry is a sam linebacker.
- 1:29:14Speaker 9: So anyway, they have this front seven, and I have
- 1:29:19Speaker 9: studied this tape many times because I want to come
- 1:29:21Speaker 9: on the radio and I say, how do they stop
- 1:29:22Speaker 9: the run? And at first I go, you know what,
- 1:29:24Speaker 9: it's the defensive tackles. It's Leonard Russell and it's Byron Murphy. Damn,
- 1:29:28Speaker 9: those guys don't get moved. That's the basis of it.
- 1:29:32Speaker 9: And then you know, I go, well, wait a minute.
- 1:29:33Speaker 9: The defensive ends are doing a great job of slipping blocks.
- 1:29:36Speaker 9: They're active. And then I'm like, well, Ernest Jones is
- 1:29:40Speaker 9: he's running around, and man, Drake Thomas, he's a playmaker.
- 1:29:43Speaker 2: Look at Emon Like.
- 1:29:45Speaker 9: Every time I try and say, well, I've got the answer,
- 1:29:48Speaker 9: I'm gonna take it to Kzyard.
- 1:29:49Speaker 4: This is why they stopped the run.
- 1:29:50Speaker 2: I just keep.
- 1:29:52Speaker 9: Finding more more elements, and I would just say all
- 1:29:55Speaker 9: of their front seven was dominant and they didn't need
- 1:29:59Speaker 9: their secondary to off the run.
- 1:30:01Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah, well man, awesome stuff. I have a
- 1:30:06Speaker 2: million more questions for you, but unfortunately, UH were out
- 1:30:10Speaker 2: of time. So enjoy the weekend, enjoyed the game. Can't
- 1:30:14Speaker 2: wait to hear you break it down on Monday, and
- 1:30:16Speaker 2: it better be a victory. You got that right, and
- 1:30:20Speaker 2: hopefully a Sam Darnold dictorm. Yeah's right, Yeah, all right,
- 1:30:24Speaker 2: thanks Ben, go appreciate it.
- 1:30:26Speaker 4: There.
- 1:30:26Speaker 2: He is the happiest analyst on Earth. One more Disney joke.
- 1:30:31Speaker 4: Yep, that was very good. Yeah, very good, very very good.
- 1:30:34Speaker 4: I mean sometimes he you know, he's breaking stuff down
- 1:30:37Speaker 4: and it's a beautiful thing. And other times he brings
- 1:30:39Speaker 4: up the beast part of how the game is gonna go.
- 1:30:42Speaker 2: He does really combine the two.
- 1:30:44Speaker 4: Yep, he's good.

- 1:31:47Speaker 4: How's it going great?
- 1:31:48Speaker 2: How are you you ready for this weekend?
- 1:31:51Speaker 5: You know what I am? I think maybe I'm a
- 1:31:53Speaker 5: little too ready. It's been this game. This game is
- 1:31:56Speaker 5: going to be something. It's going to be something, So
- 1:31:59Speaker 5: I can't wait.
- 1:32:00Speaker 2: Well, I gotta ask. I mean, it's the big topic
- 1:32:03Speaker 2: here today and we really don't want it to be.
- 1:32:05Speaker 2: But I mean, here, you spent this entire offseason, regular
- 1:32:09Speaker 2: season earning your one seed. You get a bye week,
- 1:32:12Speaker 2: so you get to really kind of rest and recover
- 1:32:15Speaker 2: and be as healthy as you possibly can for your
- 1:32:19Speaker 2: divisional round playoff game. You find out your opponent, you're
- 1:32:22Speaker 2: doing your preparation. You're forty eight hours away from the
- 1:32:26Speaker 2: actual kickoff, and all of a sudden, somebody taps you
- 1:32:29Speaker 2: on the shoulder and tells you that your quarterback had
- 1:32:32Speaker 2: to tap out a practice today because of something in
- 1:32:35Speaker 2: his oblique. What is your reaction to that?
- 1:32:39Speaker 5: Well, the first thing I had to do is look
- 1:32:43Speaker 5: up obleak and what that was exactly.
- 1:32:46Speaker 4: It's it hurts.
- 1:32:48Speaker 5: Because, yeah, because that could be any number of things,
- 1:32:51Speaker 5: and quite honestly, I wasn't sure. So no, it popped
- 1:32:58Speaker 5: yesterday when I was doing the show, was softy, and
- 1:33:01Speaker 5: I would go, gee, was the last time was in
- 1:33:03Speaker 5: here the story popped about the Washington quarterbacks, So I mean,
- 1:33:07Speaker 5: this is just getting better and better and better. I
- 1:33:13Speaker 5: would be nervous, I guess, you know, until I talked
- 1:33:17Speaker 5: to the doctors and they were sure of me what
- 1:33:20Speaker 5: was going on. But I hope he's okay.
- 1:33:26Speaker 7: I'm surprised. I'm surprised.
- 1:33:28Speaker 5: I don't know how you guys fell. I was surprised
- 1:33:31Speaker 5: by the announcement, you know, by him talking about it,
- 1:33:36Speaker 5: But I'd say, you know what, never be surprised.
- 1:33:40Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm with you, And I mean I think he's
- 1:33:43Speaker 4: gonna be fine. I don't think it was anything over
- 1:33:45Speaker 4: the top painful. Now we shall see they're definitely gonna
- 1:33:48Speaker 4: be more interest. It's not nothing. There'll be more interest
- 1:33:51Speaker 4: watching him throw and see if he's win seen or
- 1:33:53Speaker 4: anything like that. I just have to ask, did you
- 1:33:55Speaker 4: ever do anything that was along the gamesmanship side of things?
- 1:34:01Speaker 4: I just told a story about how I tricked a
- 1:34:03Speaker 4: guy that I was in a face pitcher, that I
- 1:34:05Speaker 4: was in a face the next day, but I was.
- 1:34:07Speaker 4: I mean, I'm sitting here thinking myself now the idea
- 1:34:09Speaker 4: of like if I was a wide receiver, I'd go
- 1:34:12Speaker 4: maybe go up to you and say, hey, I can
- 1:34:13Speaker 4: get this guy. I'm gonna act like I'm limping at
- 1:34:16Speaker 4: the end of one play and then give me a
- 1:34:18Speaker 4: go route. I'm gonna blow pass them. Did you ever
- 1:34:19Speaker 4: do anything that's trying to do gamesmanship like that?
- 1:34:24Speaker 5: I wouldn't say gamesmanship, I really wouldn't, but I told
- 1:34:27Speaker 5: John Taylor. I don't know if you remember John. He
- 1:34:29Speaker 5: was a wide receiver opposite Jerry Rice with the forty
- 1:34:32Speaker 5: nine is very good player and prior to the final
- 1:34:36Speaker 5: cut and well. The assistant coach is Danny Green, and
- 1:34:40Speaker 5: Danny coach wide receivers said, this guy's really good, but
- 1:34:44Speaker 5: they were gonna cut him. And so, you know, we
- 1:34:49Speaker 5: told him, I said, in the third quarter, go down
- 1:34:53Speaker 5: and stay down. And then when they come out and
- 1:34:57Speaker 5: say what's wrong, say, I don't know what's my act
- 1:35:02Speaker 5: because that that could be any zillion things. So the
- 1:35:05Speaker 5: longer this short of it is, we kept him. He
- 1:35:09Speaker 5: wound up being a provo. You know, he wound up
- 1:35:11Speaker 5: being a great player. So I say, yeah, I was
- 1:35:15Speaker 5: kind of being a little dishonest there, but it benefited
- 1:35:19Speaker 5: the team in the long run.
- 1:35:20Speaker 7: But no, what killed me.
- 1:35:23Speaker 5: We played the Detroit Lions Barry Sanders, okay, and all
- 1:35:27Speaker 5: of a sudden he's on the He's on the doubtful
- 1:35:29Speaker 5: list all week doubtful, which means ninety percent of the
- 1:35:33Speaker 5: time you can't play. That's what that means. Yeah, Okay,
- 1:35:38Speaker 5: all of a sudden he shows up, he's playing. He
- 1:35:40Speaker 5: ran for about two hundred yards. I went to Wayne
- 1:35:43Speaker 5: Fonts after the game, I said, I thought he was doubtful. Well,
- 1:35:47Speaker 5: he made quite a recovery on Saturday. Yeah, so exactly,
- 1:35:52Speaker 5: I learned not to believe the injury reports. Honestly, I
- 1:35:57Speaker 5: just ignored them. I just said, Okay, let's plan on
- 1:36:00Speaker 5: them playing their best players.
- 1:36:02Speaker 2: Might have had three hundred it he've been healthy.
- 1:36:06Speaker 5: I know, oh jeezz.
- 1:36:09Speaker 2: Mike Hongrin is with us. This segment brought to you
- 1:36:12Speaker 2: by slab Jack R and R Foundation Specialists and Toyota
- 1:36:16Speaker 2: of Kirkland. Check out the entire vehicle inventory at toyotaf
- 1:36:19Speaker 2: Kirkland dot com or stop by the showroom. All right,
- 1:36:23Speaker 2: so let's say he's got something. All right, so he's
- 1:36:26Speaker 2: got something on his side, but he's gonna play. I mean,
- 1:36:30Speaker 2: he's saying there's there's pretty much no chance that he's
- 1:36:33Speaker 2: not going to play in this game. But it's one
- 1:36:37Speaker 2: of those injuries that could be aggravated. It could be uh,
- 1:36:42Speaker 2: you know, you could take it to a whole new
- 1:36:44Speaker 2: level with it. So I would ask you, as a
- 1:36:47Speaker 2: play caller, I mean, are you going to change your
- 1:36:50Speaker 2: game plan based off of this information to try to
- 1:36:54Speaker 2: protect him a little more than what you originally had planned.
- 1:36:58Speaker 5: I think I'm gonna. I'm gonna he's gonna throw some today,
- 1:37:02Speaker 5: even though it's a it's very light, He's gonna throw
- 1:37:05Speaker 5: warm ups and everything, and obviously in the game tomorrow.
- 1:37:09Speaker 5: And then how we feel. How's it feel? Tell me nothing,
- 1:37:12Speaker 5: I can't feel a thing, or I got yeah, little
- 1:37:15Speaker 5: little tweak here. If he tells me if there's a
- 1:37:17Speaker 5: little tweak, yeah, yeah, I want him to play the
- 1:37:20Speaker 5: whole game. So then you start calling plays and you
- 1:37:23Speaker 5: start throwing the ball and just see what he does.
- 1:37:27Speaker 5: Then you might have to make an adjustment. Prior to that,
- 1:37:30Speaker 5: I would stick with what we were trying to do.
- 1:37:32Speaker 5: If if the doctors say he's okay, you know, he's
- 1:37:35Speaker 5: got this little tweak, but he's okay.
- 1:37:38Speaker 4: Coach, what's the biggest thing you're going to tell the
- 1:37:40Speaker 4: guys they either need to do or avoid doing, whether
- 1:37:44Speaker 4: it's a meeting today or getting ready for the game tomorrow.
- 1:37:47Speaker 5: Yeah, I would just I would just remind him Buck
- 1:37:49Speaker 5: how important it is, how far they've come, you know,
- 1:37:52Speaker 5: and and what business we still have to take care of,
- 1:37:56Speaker 5: and and you know, because they've heard it all, they've
- 1:38:00Speaker 5: all in anything. I would say, probably would be a
- 1:38:04Speaker 5: repeat in which case they listened for a while and
- 1:38:07Speaker 5: then all of a sudden, hey let's just play, let
- 1:38:09Speaker 5: us play, and so but I would remind him we
- 1:38:13Speaker 5: still have some work to do, and you guys have
- 1:38:15Speaker 5: come this far and done, so well, now let's try
- 1:38:18Speaker 5: and finish it. And so that'd be my message.
- 1:38:21Speaker 2: How good do you feel about the matchup for the Sarks?
- 1:38:25Speaker 2: I mean, taking everything into consideration, forty nine ers, injuries,
- 1:38:28Speaker 2: what you watched two weeks ago when these two teams
- 1:38:30Speaker 2: faced off against one another, the Seahawks with home field
- 1:38:33Speaker 2: advantage by rest, all that sort of thing. I mean,
- 1:38:37Speaker 2: how confident you're coaching this team. You're not going to
- 1:38:40Speaker 2: tell the media, but how confident are you about this
- 1:38:45Speaker 2: matchup on Saturday?
- 1:38:46Speaker 5: Well? I think, well, first of all, as a fan,
- 1:38:49Speaker 5: I would say I'm very confident. As the coach, I
- 1:38:52Speaker 5: would say I never wanted to get too over a
- 1:38:54Speaker 5: confident because the crazy stuff happens in games. We've seen
- 1:38:57Speaker 5: it before and I've been in games like that, you know,
- 1:39:00Speaker 5: so you know, they still have to go to work
- 1:39:03Speaker 5: and they have to they have to approach it as
- 1:39:06Speaker 5: though you know there is not a big advantage, But
- 1:39:10Speaker 5: I think, down deep as a fan, now there is
- 1:39:13Speaker 5: a big advantage. I think playing at home the injuriest
- 1:39:16Speaker 5: thing that you talked about, Chuck. I mean, there are
- 1:39:18Speaker 5: a lot of reasons you can check the boxes that
- 1:39:20Speaker 5: why the Seahawks should win this one. And but as
- 1:39:23Speaker 5: a coach, no, you don't. You don't go there. You
- 1:39:26Speaker 5: just say, hey, listen, we got to go out and do.
- 1:39:28Speaker 2: It, all right, So what's the plan then tomorrow? Or
- 1:39:31Speaker 2: how are you taking this one in? Are you going
- 1:39:33Speaker 2: to go back out the sun katieus so you can
- 1:39:34Speaker 2: watch it on that big theater.
- 1:39:36Speaker 5: No, you know what, that's a good question. I was
- 1:39:39Speaker 5: talking about it this morning. As a matter of fact,
- 1:39:40Speaker 5: I would think, I'm going to brite my my kids
- 1:39:43Speaker 5: over and I'm going to barbecue Hamburger's hot dogs. Make
- 1:39:46Speaker 5: it kind of like a game type of situation. But
- 1:39:51Speaker 5: I got to hustle because I only have that halftime.
- 1:39:54Speaker 5: I got to cook everything at halftime. Yeah, so I can,
- 1:39:58Speaker 5: so I can still come in and talk about the
- 1:39:59Speaker 5: game with you guys on Monday.
- 1:40:01Speaker 2: You know what you should do. You should just make
- 1:40:03Speaker 2: your family members tailgate outside your house. Just have them tailgate,
- 1:40:08Speaker 2: get into the football, you know, don't even let them
- 1:40:11Speaker 2: in the house. They just got to stay out there.
- 1:40:13Speaker 2: And then you bring the burgers out and put a
- 1:40:15Speaker 2: tailgate party outside your house with you.
- 1:40:17Speaker 5: You know, No, that's not a bad The only what
- 1:40:21Speaker 5: what if it is bad. Weather doesn't matter.
- 1:40:23Speaker 2: Yeah, it doesn't matter. I have jackets, yeah, exactly. You
- 1:40:25Speaker 2: and Kathy are dry and warm.
- 1:40:28Speaker 7: Do we own what do we own?
- 1:40:30Speaker 5: Jacket?
- 1:40:30Speaker 4: Yeah?
- 1:40:31Speaker 5: Yeah, actually have a load.
- 1:40:33Speaker 7: You know what.
- 1:40:33Speaker 5: That's a good point. I got a lot of jackets.
- 1:40:35Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 1:40:36Speaker 2: Do they want to get in the spirit of this
- 1:40:37Speaker 2: thing or not? They don't get to come inside the house.
- 1:40:39Speaker 2: They got to deal with the elements. That's what I'd do. Okay,
- 1:40:43Speaker 2: all right, coach, Well, thank you, we appreciate it. We'll
- 1:40:46Speaker 2: talk to you on Monday, right, guys, have a good one.
- 1:40:48Speaker 2: All right, mikel i'm're joining us right here on Chucking
- 1:40:51Speaker 2: Buck in the Morning again, brought to you by Toyota
- 1:40:53Speaker 2: of Kirkland. Are in our foundation specialists and slab Jack
- 1:40:57Speaker 2: Raise Sunk and Concrete at one eight six six slab
- 1:41:01Speaker 2: Sla b Jack. By the way, do you see Bobachhett
- 1:41:05Speaker 2: three years, one hundred and twenty six million. Where do
- 1:41:07Speaker 2: you go New York Mets? See what happens? So the
- 1:41:10Speaker 2: Dodgers take it completely out and then the only other
- 1:41:12Speaker 2: team that they're going to fort anybody says, well, we
- 1:41:14Speaker 2: gotta let him go too. So we got to over
- 1:41:16Speaker 2: pay Bobaschett, and now he's up to forty thirty million
- 1:41:19Speaker 2: dollars players up to forty two million dollars a year
- 1:41:21Speaker 2: because the Mets have to have somebody now because Kyle
- 1:41:24Speaker 2: Tucker went for even more than they were overspending in
- 1:41:28Speaker 2: their offers. So this is this process just out of whack.
- 1:41:31Speaker 2: It's all the Dodgers' fault.
- 1:41:33Speaker 4: Stupid Dodgers. With Dodgers having all that money.
- 1:41:37Speaker 2: I don't even think they have the money. I mean,
- 1:41:39Speaker 2: do you see Stephen Cohen kicking the He doesn't give
- 1:41:43Speaker 2: no deferred payment to Bobashet, no deferred payments. He doesn't do.
- 1:41:48Speaker 4: Far if you do it, I mean, I think that
- 1:41:50Speaker 4: whether or not it's right.
- 1:41:51Speaker 2: Or wrong, I think Steven Cohen knows money. There's something
- 1:41:55Speaker 2: about it that Steven Cohen's like, I'm not doing that,
- 1:41:57Speaker 2: and yet the Dodgers are pretty much only do it.
- 1:42:00Speaker 2: They didn't do it with Tucker, but they pretty much
- 1:42:02Speaker 2: only doing it. So there's even something about it that
- 1:42:05Speaker 2: Stephen Cohen's like, no, I would never do that. I'm
- 1:42:08Speaker 2: not doing that. And that's that's the best money guy
- 1:42:12Speaker 2: in the entire league. So I don't know, it's a
- 1:42:15Speaker 2: mystery to me. I'll tell you that much. All right,
- 1:42:16Speaker 2: We're going to close it out with Booze News. Next KJR, as.
