  Speaker 1: That's right, Dumper time.
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: Our friend cal.
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: Raley, who was a Jeopardy question apparently last night or
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: two nights ago, something like that.
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: Early.
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: Yes, apparently that's a rarity for a sports figure to
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: become a Jeopardy question. So he totally has now immersed
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: as a pop culture icon.
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: He's a household names.
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: When you know you've made it, Yeah, when Aaron Levine
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: knows your name and he's not because he's a portray reporter.
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: That's right, Aaron Levine's watching Jeopardy like, oh wow, is
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: that guy from Seattle? Look at that? Make a note card? Yeah,
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: make a note card right there? So yes, cal Rally
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: tomorrow at nine.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: O'clock here on Chuck and Buck in the morning, So
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: we'll talk a little football with him too, A huge
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: football fan, that Cal Raley, So we'll do that tomorrow
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: at nine o'clock. I do want to point out, because
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: we mentioned this yesterday about the Mariners, that Ryan Sloan
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: made the list season yesterday as the number six right
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: handed pitching prospect and all of Major League Baseball just
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: at age nineteen. You know, people are salivating over this kid.
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: Kate Anderson left handers yesterday number three. So think about that.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: I mean, this is a nineteen year old kid and
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: then a guy we just got in the draft this
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: past year, and we've added them to already. Or Anderson
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: has been added to already what was considered one of
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: the best, if not the best, farm systems.
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: So I'm there's so many.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: Things to be excited about with this team right now,
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: and yet a lot of bumbling about how we're not
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: spending any money again this off season and are we
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: just gonna let the Blue Jays get everyone. I would
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: like to tell people pull a little bit of a
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: break on that. I mean, the Blue Jays have really added.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: They've added Okamoto, and they've added cease, but they're also
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: going to lose the shit. So, yeah, they might be
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: in on Tucker, but if they don't get Tucker, then
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: they're not. Really it doesn't sound like in on anybody else,
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: So it's not like they've run away and hid. Yeah,
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: they've done more than what we have, but we haven't
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: done nothing. Josh Naylor's been re signed, we've added for Rare,
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: and we've added Refsneider, and they've been very up front
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: that they're going to add another veteran piece through free
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: agency or a trade before the off season comes to
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: a close. That's about as much as you can expect
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: out there. If you're sitting in there gonna get broken
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: hearted over us not signing Kyle Tucker, you really do
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: set yourself up for a fall every off season.
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: Why would you do that to you?
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well, I just I saw a multiple things yesterday
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: and I just chose to scroll right on by because
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: it was it was on posts of mind like why
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: don't you when I said something about Dumper coming on,
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: I get won't you tell him to ask the ownership
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: stop being so cheap? And it's like, oh my gosh,
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: I thought when they did end up getting Naylor as
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: quick as they did right off the bat, first move,
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: and it was a big one. Now, yes, it's bringing
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: a guy back, but he was a free agent, could
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: have win anywhere. So basically after the last game money,
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: he was no longer a Mariner, right and then they
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: signed him, and I thought to myself, I wish you
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: could have maybe drug this out, like made it like
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: a more of a cording thing that maybe lasts for
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: like you know, tell him, hey, you sign on the deadline,
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: but we're gonna play this up like it's taken a
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: while so that at the end it's like, see how
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: hard we tried to get him, and we won and
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: we got him, because otherwise it's gonna end up becoming
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: like old news. And basically that's like it's not like
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: the Mariners haven't done anything.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: You're right.
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: I mean, if it was without Naylor the other additions
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: they've made, I would be like, you got to get
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: on the ball, but you don't have to get on
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: the ball necessarily. They're probably not going to go get
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: Kyle Tucker. As much as I would love it, and
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: anybody in any baseball city would love it. They've they've
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: made a couple moves and they open to basically they're
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: going to make another one. It's just they're kind of
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: waiting and seeing how some of the big marble's fall.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: They're very transparent, they really are, I mean to a fault.
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: They said the payroll's going to end up so being
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: somewhere around one ninety million where it was where it
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: ended last year, right, And that's around one ninety million
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: right now. There are one seventy now that all the
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: arbitration figures are in. So they've got the twenty million
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: dollar cushion and they're trying to find a bat to
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: spend twenty million dollars on. If they don't do it,
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: be angry. But right now, that's been the plan the
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: entire offseason. So I don't know, I don't know why
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: people put themselves through this. If they don't get Kyle Tucker,
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: they sucking, they're cheap. It's never going to happen. It's
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: just not the way that they're going to operate.
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: Sorry, And why set yourself up to be just angry
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: all the time.
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: Angry all the time? Greg Bell's next k j R.
• 5:11
  Speaker 5: Imagine that you talked to some other coaches that had
• 5:14
  Speaker 5: experiences with Bie weeks and.
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: Stuff like that to get back church.
• 5:17
  Speaker 5: Curious who's on that that call list and is Mike
• 5:20
  Speaker 5: Homegren ever someone that you check in with.
• 5:23
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I'll kind of leave those guys anonymous, I guess
• 5:27
  Speaker 6: just because just to respect, you know, their positions, but
• 5:30
  Speaker 6: people that have done at a really high level. And
• 5:32
  Speaker 6: I'll say, you know, we kind of the same spirit
• 5:36
  Speaker 6: of understanding what's out there, understanding what the options are,
• 5:39
  Speaker 6: and then ultimately we made a decision that we felt
• 5:42
  Speaker 6: like was best for us and Coach Homerean and I
• 5:46
  Speaker 6: we talk regularly and maybe not regularly but often, and
• 5:52
  Speaker 6: he's been a great, great resource. But he's just been very, very,
• 5:55
  Speaker 6: very supportive throughout the whole thing. And it's kind of
• 5:58
  Speaker 6: a pinch yourself type thing that he had a really
• 6:00
  Speaker 6: ship with Mike Homebrun's pretty cool.
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: I don't brag, but.
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: We talked to him regularly, regularly. Yeah, Yeah, we really
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: have a relationship.
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: We talk about meatballs.
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: I've given him dip, he's buck he's giving him dip.
• 6:18
  Speaker 7: Mike.
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: We text. Yeah, I don't know, I don't know. Maybe
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: you talked to him two times a week. M that's regular.
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's probably more than regularly.
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: The big deal. We're pretty much his best friends.
• 6:33
  Speaker 7: Mike.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: I don't know what you're bragging about your press conferences.
• 6:37
  Speaker 7: But.
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: Anyway, it's cool for you. I mean, you're a football genius.
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: And also you don't get to be the best at everything.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: We're just the best at being coach Holmgren's friends.
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: Yeah, we're number one, but we'll let him be number two.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: Sure, be embarrassed about Mike, but just you know, yeah,
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: you know your roll. Yeah, you know, even genius has
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: got to be set in their places.
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, oh yeah, yeah.
• 7:05
  Speaker 4: And if that's the one thing we could win at
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: over him, we'll take it.
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: Yes we will.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: It's Chuck, Buck and Ashley with you here as we
• 7:12

  Speaker 1: Fred Warner's practice window has been opened by the San
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: Francis forty nine ers. This has been a back and
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: forth subject, certainly earlier this week they were claiming that
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: that wasn't.
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: Going to happen.
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: Well, the window's been open, doesn't mean he'll play on Saturday,
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: but he's giving himself a chance to feel ready to play.
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: And so the all pro linebacker of the San Francisco
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: forty nine ers might add himself to this equation come

  Speaker 1: Rams and Bears, Mike Tomlin is out as head coach
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: of Pittsburgh. That was written as it was his choice,
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: and I'm not saying that it's not, but it might
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: have felt to a lot of people in Pittsburgh that
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: it was time for a new face, a new voice.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: After a few seasons of making it into the playoffs
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: but not getting any further.
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: There are now up to nine.
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: Head coaching vacancies in the National Football League, according to

  Speaker 8: and Budd. Hey, good morning, Greg, Good morning.
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: Just three days shy of this big game, a little
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: more hype and build up that we need to take
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: care of on our end, and so we'll talk to
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: you about the forty nine ers.
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: So what are you hearing?
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: You're not the forty nine ers beat right, you're not
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: the forty nine ers insider. But obviously you heard about
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: Fred Warner's practice window opening. What are you hearing on
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: the possibility of him playing on Saturday.
• 10:34
  Speaker 7: Well, I have a lot of friends in San Francisco
• 10:36
  Speaker 7: in the Bay Area that cover the forty nine ers
• 10:39
  Speaker 7: ago twenty years twenty five years back with me and
• 10:42
  Speaker 7: a few I talked to yesterday said that this is
• 10:45
  Speaker 7: a move that if the Niners win, he would potentially
• 10:48
  Speaker 7: play in the NFC Championship game next week. Okay, that
• 10:52
  Speaker 7: they don't expect with the injury he has that he'd
• 10:55
  Speaker 7: be able to play in just a couple of days.
• 10:57
  Speaker 7: That's coming back to practice.
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: All right, Trentilliams is going to play again. And because
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: he played last week.
• 11:03
  Speaker 7: Right, Apparently he came out of the game. Okay, I
• 11:07
  Speaker 7: mean thirty seven year olds with hamstrings, it's never a
• 11:10
  Speaker 7: sure thing, but yeah, it was a good sign Ford.
• 11:13
  Speaker 7: He played that game at the risk of further injury,
• 11:16
  Speaker 7: they told him, and he played anyway and seemed to
• 11:19
  Speaker 7: have come out of it. Don't care.
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: And then one more forty nine Er injury and that's
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: you know, we know that George Kettle's not going to
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: play in this game. This is a team that's been
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: I keep hearing about how much they've relied on thirteen personnel,
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: which is three tight ends for goodness sake, and yet
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: it wasn't effective with a healthy George Kittle the last
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: time these two teams played.
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: And now they're down their best tight end of the group.
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: So how does that affect a forty nine Ers game
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: plan and something that they've been using rather effectively coming
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: up on Saturday.
• 11:52
  Speaker 7: Well, I think a lot's going to be different. And
• 11:55
  Speaker 7: Kyle Shanahan has things in his playbook that he didn't
• 11:58
  Speaker 7: use against the Seahawks that last game, and it'll be
• 12:03
  Speaker 7: dictated by field position and third downs. Again, what made
• 12:07
  Speaker 7: Seattle win that game so convincingly and just decisively was
• 12:13
  Speaker 7: how they had the forty nine ers backed up on
• 12:14
  Speaker 7: their own goal line most of the night, and how
• 12:17
  Speaker 7: they stopped them on early downs to make it third
• 12:19
  Speaker 7: and long. And then on third and long it was
• 12:23
  Speaker 7: because Kittle had been limited and Ricky Pearsol's been out
• 12:26
  Speaker 7: and Brandon Nayuka is quitting that they threw to Christian McCaffrey.
• 12:31
  Speaker 7: He had six catches on eight targets. But I was
• 12:35
  Speaker 7: doing a story for the News Tribune I posted this morning.
• 12:39
  Speaker 7: It was only thirty four yards on those six receptions.
• 12:43
  Speaker 7: It was actually his lowest, his fewest yards with that
• 12:47
  Speaker 7: many catches and no touchdowns since the end of his
• 12:50
  Speaker 7: second season twenty eighteen with the Carolina Panthers. It's been
• 12:54
  Speaker 7: seven years now, six years. And so what that means, Well,
• 12:58
  Speaker 7: Nick even worried four or five times after those catches immediately,
• 13:04
  Speaker 7: and that's where he makes all his money, and it
• 13:07
  Speaker 7: became an all pro is catching and running after the
• 13:09
  Speaker 7: catch in the open field. They're extended handoffs. I've said
• 13:13
  Speaker 7: this three four times now. The Seahawks think they have
• 13:16
  Speaker 7: nick emun worry as the antidote to Christian McCaffrey. So normally,
• 13:19
  Speaker 7: when they don't have Kittle and they're limited and they're
• 13:22
  Speaker 7: receiving options, you'd think, well, they're gonna throw to McCaffrey more.
• 13:27
  Speaker 7: And in some ways I think the sex would say
• 13:29
  Speaker 7: bring that on. Mike mcgonough say, yeah, I got somebody
• 13:32
  Speaker 7: for that. So that is all goes into this second game.
• 13:36
  Speaker 7: Did they throw Tom MacCaffrey as much? Do they throw
• 13:38
  Speaker 7: to him and do they split him out wide and
• 13:40
  Speaker 7: make him a wide receiver and just running that way,
• 13:44
  Speaker 7: or do they just run the ball more? Well, it
• 13:47
  Speaker 7: depends where their field position is and how far they
• 13:49
  Speaker 7: have to go for a first down if they run
• 13:50
  Speaker 7: the ball more. Ricky Pearsall did practice yesterday, limited participant.
• 13:55
  Speaker 7: He has barely played all year. There's a potential he
• 13:59
  Speaker 7: comes back to be something that Rock Purdy hasn't had,
• 14:02
  Speaker 7: which would of course be timely for San Francisco with
• 14:04
  Speaker 7: Kittle being out.
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: On the other side, I mean, the last game, as
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: dominant as it was one of the reasons. I mean,
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: you end up running the ball I think the thirty
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: nine times almost forty times, and you get one hundred
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: and eighty yards out of it. I mean, both of
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: your running backs had big days. Do you expect them
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: to be able to do that? Again, considering all the
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: injuries up in the front seven for the Niners, Well.
• 14:28
  Speaker 7: I don't think they're gonna get a hundred eighty yards.
• 14:30
  Speaker 7: I don't think they're a holding the three points and
• 14:32
  Speaker 7: one hundred and seventy three total yards on defense either.
• 14:35
  Speaker 7: But they are going to run the ball. We've seen
• 14:37
  Speaker 7: time and again and Clint Kubiak runs it even when
• 14:39
  Speaker 7: they're not effectively running it. And fifty percent of the
• 14:43
  Speaker 7: time Seahawks run the ball. So they will run. Yes,
• 14:47
  Speaker 7: Will the forty nine ers do it the same way
• 14:49
  Speaker 7: they did last game. I've been talking to a few
• 14:52
  Speaker 7: guys in the locker room and they don't think so
• 14:54
  Speaker 7: Gray is able. Nope. Aj Barner said they're gonna throw
• 14:58
  Speaker 7: the kitchen sink. At said they may do run blitzes,
• 15:01
  Speaker 7: which it didn't do much of. The twenty nine ers
• 15:03
  Speaker 7: don't blitz much in general, but Zabels said they may
• 15:07
  Speaker 7: even throw run blitzes to bring secondary guys into the box.
• 15:11
  Speaker 7: The Niners in the first in the Week eighteen game,
• 15:17
  Speaker 7: you could see them in the middle of the game.
• 15:19
  Speaker 7: You could see Robert Sawa trying to figure out whether
• 15:20
  Speaker 7: they go two steep safety, which he started the game
• 15:23
  Speaker 7: out in, or single high and bring a safety down
• 15:25
  Speaker 7: to defend the run. They had one hundred and fifteen
• 15:28
  Speaker 7: yards in the first half when they played primarily two
• 15:31
  Speaker 7: deep safety. In the second half, the majority of the
• 15:34
  Speaker 7: snaps are one deep seven not a huge majority, but
• 15:36
  Speaker 7: seventeen of the thirty one snaps in the second half.
• 15:39
  Speaker 7: When I watched the tape the other day, I counted
• 15:42
  Speaker 7: seventeen to thirty one. They were in single high safety
• 15:44
  Speaker 7: with a safety down in the box, and the Sea
• 15:47
  Speaker 7: Yarks still ended up finishing one hundred and eight yards
• 15:49
  Speaker 7: rushing the third and seventeen run when the key to
• 15:54
  Speaker 7: the game in the second half when Walker went for
• 15:56
  Speaker 7: nineteen yards extended the drive that ended up making it
• 15:58
  Speaker 7: the two score game again and basically game over. Early
• 16:01
  Speaker 7: in the fourth quarter because it was third and seventeen,
• 16:04
  Speaker 7: the Niners were yes in too deep safety, thinking there
• 16:07
  Speaker 7: was going to be a pass and Kubiak exploited it.
• 16:11
  Speaker 7: Grays Abel said in the huddle they call third and
• 16:13
  Speaker 7: seventeen manageable now because of how three weeks in a
• 16:17
  Speaker 7: row safegun for first downs on third and double digits,
• 16:21
  Speaker 7: But that is part of the cat and mounse in
• 16:23
  Speaker 7: this game that that may change. The Niners may play
• 16:26
  Speaker 7: more single high safety and if they do, look for
• 16:29
  Speaker 7: Kubiak to have Jackson Smith and Jigger running deep down
• 16:33
  Speaker 7: where that second safety came from down the middle of
• 16:35
  Speaker 7: the field and Sam Donald with the chances, especially with
• 16:38
  Speaker 7: the forty nine ers not having a pass rush without
• 16:41
  Speaker 7: Warner and Bosa. If expected when they go single high,
• 16:46
  Speaker 7: it might even be checks out of runs to deep
• 16:48
  Speaker 7: passes the Smith and jigba.
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: Big week for Seahawks football.
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: The Divisional round of the NFL Playoffs starts Saturday afternoon.
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: Saturday night, the forty nine Ers will be in town
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: to take on the Seahawks. The winner goes on to
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: the conference championship game, which would be next week. Seems
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: like a good week to bring our Seahawks insider Greg
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: Bell on his complete Seahawks coverage available at the Newstribune
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: dot com if you want to follow him on X
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: you can do so at g Bell Seattle as well.
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: You know a lot of talk about Grey's Abel so
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: far this morning, and this might not have anything to
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: do with preparation for Saturday, but if not for nick
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: Emon Warri and what he's delivered as a rookie, how
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: much of our season would have been spent talking about
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: the fantastic season of Grey's Abel.
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: He's been overshadowed a little bit by number three.
• 17:40
  Speaker 7: Well, yes, and the fact that he plays interior left
• 17:43
  Speaker 7: guard also means we probably weren't going to talk about
• 17:45
  Speaker 7: him every single week, but he's been so good that, Yeah,
• 17:49
  Speaker 7: how many times have we talked about a guard as
• 17:51
  Speaker 7: much as we've talked about.
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, And he.
• 17:55
  Speaker 7: Talked yesterday guys about how Charles Cross has been a
• 17:59
  Speaker 7: great friend of his and that he implied that he
• 18:02
  Speaker 7: didn't expect a veteran, established four year starter to be
• 18:07
  Speaker 7: as great to him as Charles Cross. He calls him
• 18:09
  Speaker 7: a great person, someone who's really helped him grow as
• 18:14
  Speaker 7: a man and as a player in the NFL in
• 18:16
  Speaker 7: his first year. He said he's elated that he's going
• 18:19
  Speaker 7: to play at least three more years. His next to
• 18:23
  Speaker 7: Charles Cross now the Cross has a new four year
• 18:25
  Speaker 7: contract seventy five million guaranteed. Zabel said when he saw
• 18:28
  Speaker 7: John Schneider in the team building right after that deal
• 18:31
  Speaker 7: was done, he said, you should have paid him more.
• 18:33
  Speaker 7: And then he thinks he's that much worth to this
• 18:36
  Speaker 7: entire team and in the offense. But to be sure,
• 18:40
  Speaker 7: they have gotten everything they hoped to get by drafting
• 18:44
  Speaker 7: Gray's Abel in the first round, they feel and they
• 18:47
  Speaker 7: got guys playing like they had two first round picks
• 18:50
  Speaker 7: this year because of how well Nicki Mon Warrior is playing.
• 18:53
  Speaker 7: And we said they were considering trading back into the
• 18:55
  Speaker 7: end of the first round to get him and worry
• 18:58
  Speaker 7: before they realized they could get him at the top
• 18:59
  Speaker 7: of the second. So you're absolutely right about his impact.
• 19:05
  Speaker 7: He has been. I think he's given up two sacks
• 19:09
  Speaker 7: that I've counted, and they've come very late in the season.
• 19:12
  Speaker 7: For the entire season, and he claims, and he's talked
• 19:18
  Speaker 7: about this with me and others, that his worst game
• 19:21
  Speaker 7: was the second RAMS game, the overtime win for the Seahawks,
• 19:24
  Speaker 7: and how he didn't play well in either Rams game,
• 19:27
  Speaker 7: and he said Charles Cross came over him on the
• 19:29
  Speaker 7: sideline when he was pouting When Gray would say what
• 19:33
  Speaker 7: was pouting during the second Rams game and said, man,
• 19:36
  Speaker 7: these guys get paid too. He said that doesn't sound
• 19:38
  Speaker 7: like much, but just in the moment and how he
• 19:40
  Speaker 7: said it, it was pretty really reassuring for a veteran
• 19:43
  Speaker 7: to say, yeah, these guys we're playing are pretty good too.
• 19:46
  Speaker 7: He said, he really appreciated and he the moment and
• 19:49
  Speaker 7: emotions as they are during a game. That Cross would
• 19:51
  Speaker 7: say that just all part of the brotherhood that they
• 19:54
  Speaker 7: have established on the left side of the line. I mean,
• 19:57
  Speaker 7: think about this time last year Lake and Tomlinson was
• 20:00
  Speaker 7: their left guard and there was no future there. And
• 20:03
  Speaker 7: now they've got the left side of their line set
• 20:05
  Speaker 7: for at least the next three years and probably more
• 20:07
  Speaker 7: because they'll probably want to resign Xable, I would.
• 20:09
  Speaker 3: Think on the even Moory front, I mean, if they
• 20:13
  Speaker 3: do Shanny, I have to think Shannan's gonna try to
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: come up with something right. He's going to try to
• 20:17
  Speaker 3: come up with some way. Maybe it's just avoiding number three.
• 20:20
  Speaker 3: But if they say, okay, we believe that three can
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: cover Christian McCaffrey, if they were even split them out wide,
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: can he cover Christian McCaffrey.
• 20:31
  Speaker 7: Yes, and that's what he's here for, and that's why
• 20:34
  Speaker 7: they draft him, that's why they keep giving him all
• 20:36
  Speaker 7: these different assignments. Then I was told by people in
• 20:41
  Speaker 7: really inside the forty nine ers that the coaches didn't
• 20:44
  Speaker 7: think even Worry would cover McCaffrey or could cover McCaffrey. Well,
• 20:49
  Speaker 7: they do now, and so that alone will change how
• 20:52
  Speaker 7: they use McCaffrey on Saturday. But they thought Devin Witherspoon
• 20:56
  Speaker 7: was going to cover more than even Ory did. I
• 20:58
  Speaker 7: keep thinking about the fleece ficker play in Week eighteen
• 21:02
  Speaker 7: that was supposed to be a deep pass in the
• 21:03
  Speaker 7: second half. I think it was in the third quarter,
• 21:05
  Speaker 7: going right to left, and Witherspoon Julian Love took away
• 21:10
  Speaker 7: the deep ball, so the checkdown was on the right
• 21:13
  Speaker 7: flat to Christian McCaffrey. On a flea flicker, you expect
• 21:18
  Speaker 7: the team, the defense to either be fold and scrambling
• 21:21
  Speaker 7: trying to get back to receivers of breaking behind them
• 21:24
  Speaker 7: or staying back deep to have forwarded the play. That
• 21:27
  Speaker 7: if you have to use a safety valve, it means
• 21:29
  Speaker 7: because the defense weren't they weren't fulled. How many flea
• 21:33
  Speaker 7: flickers do we see to have a swing pass. That's
• 21:34
  Speaker 7: not the intent. But when you drop it off to
• 21:38
  Speaker 7: the swing guy, it's because the defense wasn't fooled and
• 21:41
  Speaker 7: they fell off right. So almost always on a play
• 21:45
  Speaker 7: like that, when you throw it in the swing, you've
• 21:47
  Speaker 7: got some yards from the swing bag because it's not
• 21:50
  Speaker 7: a normal play action behind it that would allow defenders
• 21:54
  Speaker 7: to be there. Well, there wasn't any defender in front
• 21:55
  Speaker 7: of McCaffrey when they threw the swing pass off the
• 21:58
  Speaker 7: flee flicker, but on a nowhere I mean like a
• 22:01
  Speaker 7: lightning bolt, even where he went from the hashmark to
• 22:05
  Speaker 7: the sideline and stopped McCaffrey short of the line to gain.
• 22:08
  Speaker 7: I couldn't believe the play. It's an overlooked play.
• 22:12
  Speaker 9: And I think the forty nine ers got a first
• 22:13
  Speaker 9: down the next player on third down anyway, but I
• 22:16
  Speaker 9: couldn't believe how they went from open field to stop
• 22:19
  Speaker 9: dead down no yards after catch.
• 22:22
  Speaker 7: Because of how quick he boy was and how sure
• 22:24
  Speaker 7: at tackle he is. That guy can cover anybody. I've
• 22:27
  Speaker 7: seen him cover the top wide receiver for teams well
• 22:32
  Speaker 7: down the field, all Pro justin Jefferson, I've seen him
• 22:35
  Speaker 7: cover George Kittle. I've seen him cover Christian McCaffrey. I've
• 22:38
  Speaker 7: seen him cover Kyen Williams. There's nobody on the field,
• 22:43
  Speaker 7: nobody in the league that he can't cover. Right now.
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: I was watching the Lakers game last night and he
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: held Lebron to seven points. Yeah, that's true.
• 22:52
  Speaker 7: That helped kid, all right, So you're going to be
• 22:54
  Speaker 7: twenty one years old, by the way, Yeah, I.
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: Know Greg Bella with us here on Chuck, and so
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: you're gonna have your fourth Steelers head coach of your life.
• 23:04
  Speaker 7: I know, I'm jarring, it really is. Well, we talked
• 23:09
  Speaker 7: yesterday they weren't gonna fire him, but he obviously had
• 23:13
  Speaker 7: made his mind up long before that game on Monday night.
• 23:15
  Speaker 7: You don't make a decision after nineteen years on just
• 23:19
  Speaker 7: the morning after. So this has been in the works
• 23:21
  Speaker 7: for a while. What's interesting is, and I'm sure it's
• 23:23
  Speaker 7: been brought up already, he's still in the contract for
• 23:26
  Speaker 7: the sex for the Steelers for two more years. They
• 23:28
  Speaker 7: signed him to an extension before the twenty four season,
• 23:31
  Speaker 7: so that means they could trade him. I was part
• 23:34
  Speaker 7: of a coach trade. The Raiders traded John Gruden to
• 23:38
  Speaker 7: the Bucks we got a ton of money because Davis
• 23:40
  Speaker 7: was cash strapped. And in the very next season, the
• 23:42
  Speaker 7: Buccaneers with Gruden beat the Raiders with the Raiders using
• 23:46
  Speaker 7: the same plays they had when Gruden was a coach.
• 23:49
  Speaker 7: So that Sean Payton got traded by the Saints to
• 23:51
  Speaker 7: the Broncos, and I think it was draft pick compensation
• 23:55
  Speaker 7: and money. So that opens up the possibility that Tomlin
• 23:58
  Speaker 7: does want to come back next year, if he truly
• 24:01
  Speaker 7: wants to take a year off, or even if he
• 24:03
  Speaker 7: wants to come back this coming year, that the Stealers
• 24:05
  Speaker 7: are in line to get something back for him.
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: All right, man, Well, it's been fun already this week.
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: We'll keep it going tomorrow with a round table. That'll
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: be great, and so we'll talk.
• 24:15
  Speaker 7: To you then it's a round table already. And then
• 24:18
  Speaker 7: Rich War's got me doing Friday night.
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: We're gonna Oh that's right, Seahawks Show. I wanted to
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: ask you about that. Tell everybody the details.
• 24:24
  Speaker 7: Yeah, from seven to nine after Dave Softy Maller and
• 24:27
  Speaker 7: Dick Faine Show on Friday, from seven to nine, I'll
• 24:29
  Speaker 7: be live and two hours of the Seahawks Divisional preview.
• 24:34
  Speaker 7: Talk to Jake Bobo. We talked to Julian Love. Sam
• 24:38
  Speaker 7: Donald'll be on there. Probably have a guest or two
• 24:41
  Speaker 7: from the Bear to talk about the forty nine ers.
• 24:44
  Speaker 7: Might even try to see if I get Chris Kidd
• 24:46
  Speaker 7: in line. He doesn't know it yet, but maybe we
• 24:47
  Speaker 7: can do a riddle of reunion and have him help
• 24:49
  Speaker 7: me out. But texts will probably opened up the phone lines,
• 24:52
  Speaker 7: which nobody does anymore. So might I just do it
• 24:55
  Speaker 7: because nobody does it anymore? Friday Night seven and nine?
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: All right, Friday Night seven and nine, g Greg Bell
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: special I love specialty shows. These guys know I love
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: specialty shows. So Greg Bell, seven to nine coming up
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: this Friday.
• 25:07

• 25:09

  Speaker 1: No usually on my third martini from seven to nine.
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: So i'd be a great listener for you on pretext in.
• 25:18

• 26:30
  Speaker 3: this song came on and it was one like you
• 26:32
  Speaker 3: just it was like the entire arena was kind of
• 26:35
  Speaker 3: almost borderline mosh bit.
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: Everybody was jumping up and down.
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you're probably feeling pretty sexy. You're like, I bet
• 26:41

  Speaker 1: part of the game. Game Saturday at five o'clock the
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: divisional round for the Hawks as they take on the
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: San Francisco forty nine ers. I love what Greg said,
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: and I don't. I don't know if it just came
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: up naturally, or if it is something that he's overheard
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: from Mike McDonald's mouth, or if he's paraphrasing or what.
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: But we were talking about, you know, Christian McCaffrey being
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: used out of the backfield obviously as a receiver and
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: as a running threat as well, and whether or not
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: Nick emn Woorry could cover him, and Greg used the phrase, yeah,
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: we got a guy for that.
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I love that.
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: I love that because to me, that's like Mike McDonald's
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: defense right now. And it's Mike McDonald. It's Mike McDonald
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: who's always thinking of, oh, okay, they were very successful
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: on that play. Well, I know how to fix that.
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's how he thinks. That's how his
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: mind works. And since we're the healthiest team knock on
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: Wood heading into the divisional round and we seem to
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: have just about everything everyone that we want at our
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: at our disposal for this game, I think that kind
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: of sums up my confidence with Mike McDonald's defense. No
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: matter what Kyle Shanahan tries on Saturday, I have a
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: feeling Mike McDonald can sit over there on the sidelines
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: and go, ah, I see.
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: What you did there. I got a guy for that. Yeah,
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: that just that's what. That kind of sums it up.
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: Oh, okay, what you're doing, you're gonna you're gonna run
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: DeMarcus Robinson because he had a big game last week.
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: Oh, I got a guy for that. Yeah, yeah, I
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: gotta raek Wolland's been playing a lot better in the
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: second half of the season. I think he can cover
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: him completely. Uh yeah, I got a guy for that.
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: So that's that kind of sums up my I think
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: that sums up Mike McDonald and and John Schneider's relationship
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: is not only does he is he excellent at x'es
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: and o's, but no matter what you try, he's got.
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: Oh, I know what you're doing. I got something for that.
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: That's kind of the.
• 29:36
  Speaker 3: Way he works, and I love it well. I mean,
• 29:38
  Speaker 3: in the last meeting, it was like he didn't even
• 29:40
  Speaker 3: have to see them do it. It was like he
• 29:43
  Speaker 3: had already prepared for it. I was I don't know
• 29:47
  Speaker 3: where I heard it, but I was listening to somebody
• 29:49
  Speaker 3: talk about how they Oh I think wash you yesterday
• 29:52
  Speaker 3: when he went on somebody else's.
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: Show, Oh, we got to talk to you about it.
• 29:56
  Speaker 3: He was talking about how they they, yeah, the gap
• 30:00
  Speaker 3: schemes versus zone schemes, and they had ran one gap
• 30:03
  Speaker 3: scheme where they're pulling a couple guys and it was
• 30:06
  Speaker 3: just destroyed. It was completely blown up in the backfield
• 30:10
  Speaker 3: by the Seahawks. Well that's I think that's good on
• 30:12
  Speaker 3: the players and good on the coaching. If they try
• 30:14
  Speaker 3: this and we recognize these guys blocking down, then you
• 30:17
  Speaker 3: expect this tackle or guard coming your way. Set the
• 30:20
  Speaker 3: edge right there. Christian McCaffrey has nowhere to go. And
• 30:22
  Speaker 3: then they didn't run that again the entire day. So
• 30:25
  Speaker 3: I think preemptively starting ahead is good.
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: But I just don't.
• 30:30
  Speaker 3: I guess where I'm not overly confident is that there's
• 30:33
  Speaker 3: not going to be something in that brain of Kyle
• 30:35
  Speaker 3: Shanahan that is going to be all right.
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: I got an answer for that.
• 30:41
  Speaker 3: And if it's yeah, if Mike McDonald, which he has
• 30:45
  Speaker 3: shown so far in his two years bad is good
• 30:47
  Speaker 3: of an ability of any coach I've ever seen, of
• 30:50
  Speaker 3: making adjustments to what somebody's doing. But if Kyle Shanahan
• 30:54
  Speaker 3: has three plays up his sleeve, if he has something
• 30:56
  Speaker 3: that is bigger than the two yard pass or the
• 31:00
  Speaker 3: six yard pass that's tackled two yards later, if he
• 31:03
  Speaker 3: has any big play up his sleeve, then that could
• 31:05
  Speaker 3: be a difference that could end up making it to
• 31:07
  Speaker 3: where it's not the way in which the dominant performance
• 31:11
  Speaker 3: defensively that will.
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: I don't discount, I said Kyle shan Asherby Coach of
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: the Year this year. I think he's excellent, and I'm
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: sure he is going to come up with some wrinkles
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: and some answers and some things that Mike hasn't seen before.
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: But what I don't think the forty nine ers have
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: at their disposal is the phrase, oh I got a
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: guy for that. I mean they've been running a lot
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: of thirteen personnel as of like they don't have a
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: guy for that anymore, right, I mean, it's certainly not
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: going to be George Kittle. Tungus moves up to the
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: Tungas moves up to the number one slot. Three guy
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: goes to two, and the two and the four guy
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: goes to.
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: Three, and then that's it.
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: I mean, there's your thirteen personnel that you've been so
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: successful with. It's missing its strongest, fiercest soldier. You don't
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: have Achilles in the army right now because his Achilles tour.
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: And so to me, it's a oh, I see what
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: you're doing with your run zone scheme, trying to get
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: Walker to the edge.
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: I got a guy for that. No, he's hurt, he's
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: not ready to come back, Fred Warner. Normally I would
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: have a guy for that, but I don't know if
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: I've got a guy for that.
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: So to me, it's like the combination of we've have
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: the same level genius and we've got a healthier roster
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: and a deeper roster.
• 32:24
  Speaker 4: Well, and that's the thing is, I think everybody does
• 32:25
  Speaker 4: keep talking about how Kyle Shanahan is going to you know,
• 32:29
  Speaker 4: react and all of the all of the things they'll
• 32:31
  Speaker 4: have up a sleeve for this meeting, But that is
• 32:33
  Speaker 4: the same thing that Mike McDonald is going to happen.
• 32:35
  Speaker 5: So, yeah, it's gonna be a fun game of.
• 32:37
  Speaker 4: Chess to watch those two, which is what we expect,
• 32:39
  Speaker 4: right one of them having this plan, Okay, well, how
• 32:42
  Speaker 4: will the other react to it? And it'll go on
• 32:44
  Speaker 4: all game long. And I have all the confidence in
• 32:47
  Speaker 4: the world that Mike McDonald will be just fine.
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: I mean, the forty nine ers are a great example
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: Shan last week of what Shannan can do. I mean,
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: you're down a Piersol and you're down, and then DeMarcus
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: Robinson goes out there and has a game.
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: But we've hadded now a week to prepare. Mike McDonald's
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: had a week to.
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: Prepare for DeMarcus Robinson not having a game. And Jowan Jennings,
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: I have no idea why you're so confident.
• 33:09
  Speaker 3: He is very excited to play the Seahawks.
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: Again because you had thirty five yards receiving the last
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: time you faced this team, and you spent the entire
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: game as the most frustrated forty nine er in the
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: entire galaxy.
• 33:21
  Speaker 4: So that happens again.
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: Why are you so excited for this? I guess for redemption,
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: you know, I guess for vengeance.
• 33:28
  Speaker 7: Yep.
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: But I didn't look like you had any answers.
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: As a matter of fact, you were so out of
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: answers you tried starting fights on the sidelines with people.
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: Sure did, yeah, so, yes, it seems like the Seahawks
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: at this point they got a guy for that.
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: That's comforting, It's comforting. Feeling right.
• 33:47
  Speaker 4: It's warming my heart.
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's warm in my butt. No, my butt is warm.
• 33:52
  Speaker 3: Shouldn't put things there? You shouldn't do that.
• 33:54
  Speaker 11: M you can.
• 33:56
  Speaker 3: I mean, if you're just sitting on it, you.
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: Don't want to have a guy for that.
• 33:58
  Speaker 3: I'm just saying that's fair.
• 34:01
  Speaker 11: That's fair.
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: Oh well, I'm gonna ask Rich, Hey, could I get
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: a guy for that? On the box? A little warm?
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: Can I get a guy for that?
• 34:09
  Speaker 5: I have an idea for a guy for that.
• 34:11
  Speaker 4: Not it?
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: Why did we not it? All right, We're gonna get
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: reckless at breakfast next.

  Speaker 5: in Appalachia. It's yeah, but this actually might be better.
• 35:20
  Speaker 5: You know, I hit the sun hits in my office
• 35:23
  Speaker 5: right when, so eight o'clock eleven o'clock on the East coast,
• 35:27
  Speaker 5: So I need to shut the blinds next time I'm
• 35:29
  Speaker 5: on with you. I was blinded last last week.
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: I was going to offer you two thousand dollars a
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: month just to live in your guest room. That's what
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: I was going to offer. It just looks really nice
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: and cozy there.
• 35:38
  Speaker 5: But so I'm in Boone, North Carolina, home of app State,
• 35:41
  Speaker 5: and this thing came out like top I saw on
• 35:44
  Speaker 5: Instagram best stadiums in college football to see a game,
• 35:47
  Speaker 5: and number one was actually Husky Stadium, you dubbed. I
• 35:50
  Speaker 5: thought that was pretty cool. Number two was here in Boone,
• 35:52
  Speaker 5: North Carolina, APP State, So yeah, there's you know, people
• 35:56
  Speaker 5: are fighting over it. I'm sure, like you know, what
• 35:58
  Speaker 5: about Colorado? What about Utah? What about you know, all
• 36:01
  Speaker 5: the different places. But yeah, I'm excited to be here.
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: What brings you there? As if I don't know.
• 36:09
  Speaker 5: Well, my son just he's in this craziness of the
• 36:12
  Speaker 5: transfer portal. So he was at UCLA for two years,
• 36:16
  Speaker 5: red shirt freshman, fore head coaches in two years. Kind
• 36:19
  Speaker 5: of crazy. That's college football right now. Very screwed up.
• 36:22
  Speaker 5: And uh yeah, so we were in that whole world.
• 36:25
  Speaker 5: And and so he's at app State now and uh
• 36:28
  Speaker 5: so we went from LA to Boone, North Carolina. It's
• 36:31
  Speaker 5: very different, but very very awesome. We're we're excited a
• 36:35
  Speaker 5: lot of celebrity there.
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: Do you see George Clooney while you're at APP State?
• 36:40
  Speaker 7: You know?
• 36:40
  Speaker 5: So it's funny because like you know, it's uh we
• 36:42
  Speaker 5: went from you know, twenty five dollars smoothies named after
• 36:45
  Speaker 5: an actress you know, in LA, to uh here we
• 36:48
  Speaker 5: are here where like Cookout has a line down the street,
• 36:51
  Speaker 5: you know, not complaining, I like Cookout, but very different.
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: That's great.
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: Matt Hasselbecca is with us, so we've got him in
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: the playoffs every Wednesday at eight o'clock, and so let's
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: dive into this matchup. But your first reaction, your gut
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: reaction when you saw how the Wildcard weekend was unfolding
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: and you realized, oh man, we're gonna have to face
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: the forty nine ers again.
• 37:14
  Speaker 5: Well, first of all, the weekend lived up to the hype.
• 37:16
  Speaker 5: Like I think it's the most fun weekend of football.
• 37:18
  Speaker 5: It's not necessarily the best football. The best football to
• 37:21
  Speaker 5: me is the AFC NFC Championship week That's the best
• 37:24
  Speaker 5: football you'll see all year anywhere on the planet. But
• 37:27
  Speaker 5: Wildcard weekend is like when all the crazy stuff happens.
• 37:30
  Speaker 7: Like it.
• 37:31
  Speaker 5: It's called wildcard weekend for a reason. And I don't
• 37:33
  Speaker 5: think a lot of people thought the forty nine ers
• 37:35
  Speaker 5: is banged up as they were go on the road
• 37:37
  Speaker 5: and beat the defending world champs in Philly. You know,
• 37:41
  Speaker 5: as a player, I can tell you that it helps
• 37:43
  Speaker 5: when you go to Philly when their home fans start
• 37:46
  Speaker 5: booing them after they go three and out one time
• 37:49
  Speaker 5: in the first quarter, like it's kind of a I
• 37:52
  Speaker 5: enjoy that you know, I remember going back there in
• 37:54
  Speaker 5: five with Reggie White. They were going to retire his
• 37:56
  Speaker 5: number at halftime Monday Night football, and we were like,
• 38:00
  Speaker 5: you know, is this snowing? Is this tough game? And
• 38:03
  Speaker 5: those fans turned on them so quick, and we're like, oh,
• 38:05
  Speaker 5: we got this, you know, And I think we went home.
• 38:08
  Speaker 5: We won by like forty points or something that night.
• 38:10
  Speaker 5: So but no, I think for the Seahawks in particular,
• 38:15
  Speaker 5: it's disappointing that the Rams were able to come back
• 38:19
  Speaker 5: against Carolina because I do think we're gonna have to
• 38:21
  Speaker 5: play the Rams, and if Carolina could have taken care
• 38:23
  Speaker 5: of business in that one, that would have made our
• 38:26
  Speaker 5: path a lot easier. But I don't think you can
• 38:29
  Speaker 5: be upset about the fact that the forty nine ers
• 38:32
  Speaker 5: or your next opponent, you had thirteen days in between
• 38:35
  Speaker 5: the last time you played them. It's the last team
• 38:38
  Speaker 5: you played, and they have five days. The Niners are
• 38:40
  Speaker 5: only going to get to practice two times this week
• 38:43
  Speaker 5: in pads, and they lost some of their star players,
• 38:47
  Speaker 5: the biggest name being George Kittle. They're all world you know,
• 38:50
  Speaker 5: Rob Gronkowski type tight end. So this is a good
• 38:53
  Speaker 5: matchup for us in terms of rest. But at the
• 38:57
  Speaker 5: same time, they're no slouch. They're a good team, and
• 39:00
  Speaker 5: they're not going to roll over like they seemingly did
• 39:03
  Speaker 5: last time we played them.
• 39:04
  Speaker 3: What carries over, Hasselbeg and what carries over from a
• 39:09
  Speaker 3: dominant game? I mean, you absolutely put it on them.
• 39:11
  Speaker 3: You only won by ten because you didn't necessarily finish
• 39:14
  Speaker 3: all the drives. But defensively you absolutely shut down the
• 39:18
  Speaker 3: mastermind that is Kyle Shanahan and his crew. So what
• 39:21
  Speaker 3: carries over and what other things do you just expect
• 39:24
  Speaker 3: or going to change?
• 39:26
  Speaker 5: Well, I think you're exactly right now. Offensively in special teams,
• 39:29
  Speaker 5: we've been great all year. We didn't play well Week
• 39:31
  Speaker 5: eighteen against the Niners. Like, it wasn't our best game.
• 39:33
  Speaker 5: There were some you know, there were some highlight moments.
• 39:35
  Speaker 5: We ran the ball well, we did a good job
• 39:37
  Speaker 5: on critical third downs at the end of the game,
• 39:39
  Speaker 5: but we missed two kicks. You know, we took sacks
• 39:42
  Speaker 5: when we couldn't take sad Like, it wasn't our cleanest game.
• 39:45
  Speaker 7: Now.
• 39:45
  Speaker 5: Defensively, though, this is I think the challenge. You did
• 39:48
  Speaker 5: such a great job defensively. It was an absolute beatdown.
• 39:51
  Speaker 5: It was a historic performance from our defense. So do
• 39:54
  Speaker 5: you go in there with the same game plan and
• 39:56
  Speaker 5: you say, oh, it worked last time, Well, like, that's
• 39:59
  Speaker 5: dangerous because you know, Kyle Shannean and the Niners aren't
• 40:01
  Speaker 5: going to do what they did last time. They're going
• 40:03
  Speaker 5: to change, right, And so I think Mike McDonald obviously
• 40:06
  Speaker 5: smart enough. He realizes that he's got to go to
• 40:09
  Speaker 5: some of the other things in that previous game plan
• 40:11
  Speaker 5: that he didn't put on tape because Kyle Shannehan doesn't
• 40:15
  Speaker 5: know about him. But to think that you're just going
• 40:17
  Speaker 5: to line up and do exactly what you did the
• 40:19
  Speaker 5: last time, No, I don't This is the NFL. I
• 40:21
  Speaker 5: don't think that'll that'll play. I don't think that'll work.
• 40:23
  Speaker 2: Matt Hasselbeck is with us. It's number eight. At eight.
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: It's now gotten the stamp of approval from Matt himself
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: right here on Chuck him back in the morning says,
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: we get you ready for Saturday, forty nine Ers versus Seahawks.
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: What's your offensive approach for this game? You only put
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: thirteen points on the board, as you said, a couple
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: of miskicks, which normally doesn't happen to Jason Myers, but
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: certainly you don't think I wouldn't think that. You feel
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: you've got to put a lot of points on the
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: board the way the defense is going.
• 40:54
  Speaker 2: But man, you'd like to make.
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: It a little more comfortable than what it ended up
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: being a couple of weeks go. So are you aggressive
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: with Sam? Do you try to establish the run to
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: a fault? How do you approach this if you're Clint
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: Kubiak in the offense?
• 41:08
  Speaker 5: Well, I like aggressive play calling. I still like that,
• 41:11
  Speaker 5: you know, I don't. I don't like having training wheels on.
• 41:13
  Speaker 5: I don't like handcuffs. I like, you know, cut it
• 41:16
  Speaker 5: loose on your play calls. But Sam, you know you
• 41:18
  Speaker 5: got to communicate to him, Hey, we won this game
• 41:22
  Speaker 5: last time, and you threw I think you threw for
• 41:23
  Speaker 5: less than two hundred yards.
• 41:25
  Speaker 7: Like you.
• 41:26
  Speaker 5: If we get more aggressive as play callers, you got
• 41:29
  Speaker 5: to protect us with the ball. If you love it downfield,
• 41:31
  Speaker 5: cut it loose, man, cut it loose. If you don't
• 41:34
  Speaker 5: love it, hey, find your checkdowns. Let's lift to play
• 41:37
  Speaker 5: another day. Let our kicker kickfield goals, Let our punter punt.
• 41:40
  Speaker 5: You know that that kind of a mindset, and you know,
• 41:43
  Speaker 5: when it comes to analytics and some of that kind
• 41:45
  Speaker 5: of stuff. You know, you hear people on TV being like, oh,
• 41:48
  Speaker 5: it says it's fourth and four, you're supposed to go
• 41:50
  Speaker 5: for it right here. Like for me, maybe I'm a
• 41:53
  Speaker 5: little bit old school understanding how great your defense is
• 41:56
  Speaker 5: and how banged up this forty nine ers offense is.
• 42:00
  Speaker 5: Maybe just take points. Let your field goal kicker, Hey,
• 42:03
  Speaker 5: if he kicks five field goals in this game, that's
• 42:05
  Speaker 5: gonna be fine. Now I don't think it'll be that.
• 42:07
  Speaker 5: I think the Seahawks will get it right offensively, but
• 42:10
  Speaker 5: understanding the complimentary football that this defense is playing, in
• 42:14
  Speaker 5: some metrics even much better than the Legion of Boom
• 42:17
  Speaker 5: ever played. Like, understand, that's who's playing on the other side.
• 42:21
  Speaker 5: Those are your teammates. Let your teammates defend a long
• 42:25
  Speaker 5: field against a beat up team that had to manufacture
• 42:28
  Speaker 5: trick plays with wide receivers throwing reverse pass touchdowns last
• 42:31
  Speaker 5: week just to find offense. So yeah, I think that
• 42:35
  Speaker 5: that's the approach that I would take. But some at
• 42:39
  Speaker 5: some point here in the playoffs, our quarterback and our
• 42:42
  Speaker 5: wide receiver group and our pass game, they're going to
• 42:44
  Speaker 5: have to be the ones to put the team on
• 42:46
  Speaker 5: the back, So I want to shy away from having
• 42:49
  Speaker 5: that mindset even in a game like this.
• 42:51
  Speaker 3: The last time these two played, the defense was I've
• 42:54
  Speaker 3: said impeccable. I mean they're just tackling. They just were
• 42:57
  Speaker 3: smothering as far as nothing happen after the catcher. They
• 43:01
  Speaker 3: just didn't let any allow any big runs. Trent Williams
• 43:04
  Speaker 3: didn't play in that game. He did play in this
• 43:05
  Speaker 3: last playoff game. How big of a difference. I mean,
• 43:08
  Speaker 3: you know what it's like to have a Hall of
• 43:11
  Speaker 3: Fame guy protecting your backside. How big of a deal
• 43:14
  Speaker 3: is it him coming back? And does that change how
• 43:17
  Speaker 3: good Christian McCaffrey or they could run and pass.
• 43:22
  Speaker 5: It's a great point, and I think it's a huge deal.
• 43:24
  Speaker 5: I mean it's a huge deal to Kyle Shanahan when
• 43:27
  Speaker 5: he look at that call sheet, Like I can remember
• 43:29
  Speaker 5: games that we went into I think it was two
• 43:31
  Speaker 5: thousand and eight when we didn't have we didn't have
• 43:33
  Speaker 5: Walter Jones. Mike Holmgren would have to take that call
• 43:36
  Speaker 5: sheet and basically take any play that was a seven
• 43:38
  Speaker 5: step drop and just like tear it up, like, hey,
• 43:41
  Speaker 5: this is a great route combination. This would definitely work
• 43:44
  Speaker 5: but we don't have our left tackle, so we would
• 43:46
  Speaker 5: have to leave our running back into help or leave
• 43:48
  Speaker 5: a tighten into help, and then the play is not
• 43:50
  Speaker 5: really the play at that point. And so I think
• 43:53
  Speaker 5: it's a huge deal. Now couple that with the fact
• 43:55
  Speaker 5: that brock Purdy's pretty elusive. Give him an extra tick,
• 43:58
  Speaker 5: you give him an extra chance to get out of
• 44:00
  Speaker 5: outside the pocket or even run. I would say that's
• 44:02
  Speaker 5: been the kryptonite of the Seahawks defense if I had
• 44:05
  Speaker 5: to find something to say that, they're still, you know,
• 44:09
  Speaker 5: maybe susceptible to They do such a great job of
• 44:12
  Speaker 5: getting a pass rush that at times, you know, a
• 44:14
  Speaker 5: Bryce Young type quarterback, if he can buy time and
• 44:18
  Speaker 5: use his legs, that's what's hurt this defense. And so
• 44:22
  Speaker 5: brock Purdy, listen, he's not intimidated coming into Seattle. I'm
• 44:26
  Speaker 5: not sure he's ever lost in Seattle. I mean, he
• 44:28
  Speaker 5: just has that no flinch in his in his game
• 44:31
  Speaker 5: that people don't I don't think they understand. And also
• 44:34
  Speaker 5: he is very elusive despite what he looks like, he
• 44:36
  Speaker 5: doesn't look elusive. So to me, having this left tackle
• 44:40
  Speaker 5: is a it's big for them. It's I don't even
• 44:43
  Speaker 5: know if I can put it into words other than
• 44:45
  Speaker 5: your words, which is like it would be like not
• 44:47
  Speaker 5: having Walter Jones. That's what it would be like.
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: Just a quick aside and we'll get back into the
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: game here in a moment and analysis. I love Walter
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: Jones stories. You might have the best ones of anyone
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: in the world. What is your favorit, writ Walter Jones.
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: I can't believe what I just saw.
• 45:02
  Speaker 2: A story.
• 45:04
  Speaker 5: Well, I mean there are so many. I recently told
• 45:06
  Speaker 5: this one and people people, so Walter Jones like most
• 45:10
  Speaker 5: respected guy, but like back then he didn't talk ever.
• 45:13
  Speaker 5: And then the second most respected guy on our team
• 45:16
  Speaker 5: was was Max Strong, our full back, Like he didn't
• 45:18
  Speaker 5: talk ever. Now both those guys talk all the time.
• 45:21
  Speaker 5: But one time the PGA was in town and there
• 45:23
  Speaker 5: were no hotels in Bellevue where we stayed the night
• 45:26
  Speaker 5: before games, and so some people had to double up.
• 45:28
  Speaker 5: I think it might have been a preseason game or
• 45:30
  Speaker 5: something like that, and so guys that were you know,
• 45:33
  Speaker 5: had had like maybe more than ten years of experience
• 45:36
  Speaker 5: or something like that, got their own room. Well, Walt
• 45:38
  Speaker 5: always got his own room and Max Strong always got
• 45:40
  Speaker 5: his own room. Well, they had to room together the
• 45:42
  Speaker 5: night before one of our games. And so we're at
• 45:46
  Speaker 5: breakfast the next day, me and Robbie Tobeck and some
• 45:48
  Speaker 5: of the guys, and you know, Max Strong comes down
• 45:52
  Speaker 5: first for breakfast and you know, pregame meal, and we're like, hey, Mac,
• 45:55
  Speaker 5: what was it like rooming with Walter Jones last night?
• 45:57
  Speaker 5: He's like, I can't do it, man, he likes the
• 46:00
  Speaker 5: room too hot. You know, maybe that's what it takes
• 46:02
  Speaker 5: to be great as great as him, but like, if
• 46:04
  Speaker 5: that's what it takes, like, I don't think I can
• 46:05
  Speaker 5: do it. I can't sleep with a room that hot
• 46:07
  Speaker 5: and whatever. We're laughing, like, oh, that's really interesting. Mac leaves.
• 46:10
  Speaker 5: He goes to the game. We're all kind of milling around,
• 46:13
  Speaker 5: still talking. Walter Jones comes down, sits at the table.
• 46:16
  Speaker 5: We're all looking around. No one's saying anything.
• 46:19
  Speaker 2: I say.
• 46:19
  Speaker 5: I kind of whisper, hey, Walt, what was it like
• 46:22
  Speaker 5: room mech Max Strong last night? He's like, I can't
• 46:26
  Speaker 5: do it, man, he likes the room too hot.
• 46:32
  Speaker 12: Both those guys were so quiet, they wouldn't been like
• 46:39
  Speaker 12: and so basically, like I think Mac was like, Oh,
• 46:41
  Speaker 12: you're the greatest player on the team.
• 46:42
  Speaker 5: I just respect you. Out of respect, I'm not gonna
• 46:46
  Speaker 5: even touch the thermometer, the thermostat. And then in Walt
• 46:51
  Speaker 5: the same thing like, oh, you're Mac strong, you're the
• 46:53
  Speaker 5: oldest guy on the team, and you do all the
• 46:54
  Speaker 5: dirty work fullback out of respect. I'm just gonna, you know,
• 46:59
  Speaker 5: suck it up.
• 47:00
  Speaker 2: Oh that sounds horrible.
• 47:01
  Speaker 5: It's funny to me now though, to say those guys
• 47:03
  Speaker 5: like so loquacious and they're out there talking all the time.
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Wal, it's a big postgame analyst right now
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: on the television side up here.
• 47:12
  Speaker 5: So media darling me, as Mike Copan would say, don't
• 47:15
  Speaker 5: be a media darling, guys, don't be a media I'll
• 47:18
  Speaker 5: talk for the team. Don't be a media darling.
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: Matt Hasselbeck is with us here on Chuck a Buck
• 47:24
  Speaker 1: in the mornings every Wednesday through the playoffs, and of
• 47:28
  Speaker 1: course we are breaking down the game on Saturday, previewing
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: it for you from Matt's perspective. You mentioned George Kittle
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: right off the bat. We didn't spend a lot of
• 47:36
  Speaker 1: time on him, though. How much easier does the job
• 47:41
  Speaker 1: of Mike McDonald, the defense the Seahawks in general get
• 47:44
  Speaker 1: get with him not being on on this field on Saturday.
• 47:49
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I think that's like the first thing you think of.
• 47:51
  Speaker 5: It's going to be so much easier because he's a
• 47:53
  Speaker 5: great player. But there's also this thing where where you
• 47:55
  Speaker 5: lose your leader, and George Kittle is the heart and
• 47:59
  Speaker 5: soul of that team. And I've heard every guy in
• 48:01
  Speaker 5: that locker room in San Franz talk about, we're going
• 48:03
  Speaker 5: to play this game for George. We're going to play
• 48:06
  Speaker 5: this game the way Kittle would.
• 48:07
  Speaker 2: Play the game.
• 48:07
  Speaker 5: And I think that's a dangerous thing, Like when you
• 48:10
  Speaker 5: have the heart and soul a guy that tore his achilles,
• 48:13
  Speaker 5: you know, it's not like a small injury. That's a
• 48:15
  Speaker 5: major injury. Is he even going to be back for
• 48:17
  Speaker 5: the start of next year? So I think there's something
• 48:19
  Speaker 5: special in that locker room where these guys are a
• 48:22
  Speaker 5: wounded animal. They're going to be like, hey, let's cut
• 48:24
  Speaker 5: it loose for our teammate and some of the tendencies
• 48:27
  Speaker 5: now go away. You know, they're going to be by
• 48:29
  Speaker 5: a committee, you know the Kyle Shannon called the game
• 48:32
  Speaker 5: last week against Philly when Kittle went out, it was
• 48:35
  Speaker 5: a combination of Kyle Hughes check the fullback and Christian
• 48:38
  Speaker 5: McCaffrey in non traditional matchups. So yeah, you know, in
• 48:42
  Speaker 5: some ways I think it's easier because a great player
• 48:45
  Speaker 5: is not there, But in other ways, I think it
• 48:47
  Speaker 5: presents new challenges.
• 48:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean when you're watching this defense, the nick
• 48:52
  Speaker 3: emn Warry has been a big conversation point around here,
• 48:56
  Speaker 3: as young as he is, and yet how much of
• 48:58
  Speaker 3: a kind of an X factor he can be playing
• 49:00
  Speaker 3: different type of stuff. Who does he remind you of?
• 49:03
  Speaker 3: And how big of a disadvantage is that as a
• 49:06
  Speaker 3: quarterback when you're you're looking around for somebody and you
• 49:09
  Speaker 3: don't know where the hell they're going to be lined
• 49:11
  Speaker 3: up at?
• 49:12
  Speaker 5: Well, he reminds me of Camp Chancellor. I mean, that's
• 49:15
  Speaker 5: that's the guy that he just size wise, six three
• 49:17
  Speaker 5: two twenty. I met him in Arroyo the tight end together,
• 49:22
  Speaker 5: you know, this offseason after the draft and I was
• 49:24
  Speaker 5: in Seattle and I saw both of those guys and
• 49:26
  Speaker 5: I was like, dang, like John Schneider is out here
• 49:28
  Speaker 5: drafting a basketball team. These guys are monsters. I'm like,
• 49:32
  Speaker 5: what positions do you guys play? Like they're telling me,
• 49:34
  Speaker 5: But like, I just think that's the creativity. It opens
• 49:39
  Speaker 5: up the creativity of Mike McDonald what he wants to
• 49:41
  Speaker 5: do on defense. So like a lot of times they'll say, oh,
• 49:44
  Speaker 5: it's a Nickel personnel meaning five dbs in the game.
• 49:46
  Speaker 5: Well what kind of nickel? Is it big NICKI min
• 49:49
  Speaker 5: Worri nickel, you know, or is it base meaning like
• 49:52
  Speaker 5: little bass where Emon Warri is kind of in a
• 49:54
  Speaker 5: linebacker role, Like how are you going to treat it?
• 49:56
  Speaker 5: So I think he's a Swiss Army knife type player
• 50:00
  Speaker 5: that way. And you know, I just think that he's
• 50:04
  Speaker 5: only scratched the surface of what he's going to be
• 50:06
  Speaker 5: as a player. I mean, I remember Cam Chancellor is
• 50:08
  Speaker 5: a rookie. You know, we're teammates him and Earl. Earl
• 50:13
  Speaker 5: was a little bit more game ready when he showed up,
• 50:15
  Speaker 5: played at Texas, played a ton. Cam was a later
• 50:18
  Speaker 5: round pick and you know, really developed into I think
• 50:21
  Speaker 5: one of the great safeties that's ever played the game.
• 50:24
  Speaker 5: But his rookie year he had to you know, Lawyer
• 50:27
  Speaker 5: malloy took him under his wing and Pete Carroll was
• 50:29
  Speaker 5: teaching him still, and you know, he just seemed to
• 50:33
  Speaker 5: get better and better every week. And I think you
• 50:35
  Speaker 5: could say the same thing about NICKI minworry.
• 50:37
  Speaker 1: Number eight at eight, Matt hasselback with us right here
• 50:40
  Speaker 1: on the Chuck and Bucks. So give me this in
• 50:42
  Speaker 1: our last couple of minutes that we have. I mean,
• 50:45
  Speaker 1: you've had playoff successes, you've had playoff failures. I mean
• 50:50
  Speaker 1: you can't use don't have Levy and his crew, You
• 50:54
  Speaker 1: can't use that as a key that can be an
• 50:56
  Speaker 1: answer in a playoff game.
• 50:57
  Speaker 2: So tell me what the now that.
• 50:59
  Speaker 1: You had the experience with it, what's the perfect mindset
• 51:03
  Speaker 1: as you get ready to start the playoffs that a
• 51:06
  Speaker 1: team should have.
• 51:08
  Speaker 5: Well, you did you know just since you mentioned officials,
• 51:10
  Speaker 5: you know, I do think that you know we've played
• 51:12
  Speaker 5: a full season now and now you know the referee
• 51:14
  Speaker 5: assignments come out. I believe it's John Hussey. And you know,
• 51:17
  Speaker 5: you can scout just like you scout an opponent, you
• 51:20
  Speaker 5: can scout an officiating crew. You can say, hey, this
• 51:23
  Speaker 5: umpire loves to call holding guys. Got to keep your
• 51:26
  Speaker 5: hands inside, you know on outside z own run plays
• 51:29
  Speaker 5: like you got to keep your hands inside. This guy
• 51:30
  Speaker 5: loves to throw a flag on this, Hey, quarterback, this
• 51:33
  Speaker 5: this this referee, the guy with the white hat. He throws.
• 51:38
  Speaker 5: Intentional grounding double what other people throw around the league. Hey,
• 51:41
  Speaker 5: wide receivers outside they call OPI. You know, most people
• 51:45
  Speaker 5: call DPI. This guy calls pushoffs. So you can, in
• 51:48
  Speaker 5: the same exact way, you can scout these officials because
• 51:52
  Speaker 5: there's a body of work. And so I do think
• 51:55
  Speaker 5: that that's an important thing. And that's not something we
• 51:57
  Speaker 5: really did ever in Seattle, but my brother Tim, he
• 52:00
  Speaker 5: played on you know, multiple teams, and you know, he
• 52:02
  Speaker 5: played I would say, primarily in the NFC East with
• 52:05
  Speaker 5: guys like Tom Coughlin and Joe Gibbs and and Andy Reid,
• 52:10
  Speaker 5: and that's something that they did religiously. And you know,
• 52:14
  Speaker 5: I just remember like kind of making fun of him
• 52:16
  Speaker 5: going into a game We're playing the Giants one time,
• 52:18
  Speaker 5: I believe it was a playoff game, and he was like, oh,
• 52:22
  Speaker 5: you know this referee, this referee leads the league in
• 52:25
  Speaker 5: intentional groundings, and I'm like, that's so stupid, dude, Like,
• 52:28
  Speaker 5: you know, intentional grounding is intentional grounding. It either is
• 52:30
  Speaker 5: or it isn't. It's not like a tendency, you know, duh.
• 52:34
  Speaker 5: And I got called for an intentional grounding that was
• 52:36
  Speaker 5: I'm I promise you. It was not intentional grounding, Like
• 52:39
  Speaker 5: like Maurice Morris was like right there, like it was
• 52:41
  Speaker 5: a dude right there, and and you know, sure enough
• 52:44
  Speaker 5: they throw the flag on me at You know, Tim's
• 52:46
  Speaker 5: my younger brother, the middle child. So I was like, ah,
• 52:50
  Speaker 5: he's just gonna give it to me on this one.
• 52:51
  Speaker 5: But I was not intentional grounding. But had I listened
• 52:54
  Speaker 5: to the scouting report on the officials, I think that
• 52:57
  Speaker 5: probably would have helped me.
• 53:00
  Speaker 2: All Right, where are you gonna be Saturday to take
• 53:01
  Speaker 2: this thing in?
• 53:03
  Speaker 5: I didn't answer your question too, by the way, But
• 53:05
  Speaker 5: with the Niners, this is this is the mindset that
• 53:07
  Speaker 5: I would have if I was on the defense. Okay,
• 53:09
  Speaker 5: trick plays. You gotta be ready for trick plays. Last
• 53:12
  Speaker 5: week the Niners they used Juwan Jennings one of their
• 53:16
  Speaker 5: wide receivers. But you got to go deep, deep into
• 53:19
  Speaker 5: the scouting report. Juwan Jennings when he came out of
• 53:21
  Speaker 5: high school, was rated had more stars than Lamar Jackson,
• 53:26
  Speaker 5: Sam Arnold, and Joe Burrow, same recruiting class as a quarterback.
• 53:30
  Speaker 5: So like when you're doing the scouting report this week,
• 53:34
  Speaker 5: if you're a defender, you got to know all the
• 53:36
  Speaker 5: different guys and what their backgrounds were, what they did,
• 53:39
  Speaker 5: if they played little league baseball. I want to know
• 53:41
  Speaker 5: if you're a lefty, I want to know. So to
• 53:44
  Speaker 5: answer your question, where am I gonna watch it? I'm
• 53:46
  Speaker 5: gonna watch it like on my couch where most people
• 53:48
  Speaker 5: are screaming at the TV and all excited.
• 53:50
  Speaker 1: All right, sounds great, Well, thanks Matt, awesome stuff. Again,
• 53:53
  Speaker 1: We greatly appreciate it. We can't wait to talk to
• 53:55
  Speaker 1: about a win next week.
• 53:57
  Speaker 5: Let's do it, right, you guys.
• 53:58
  Speaker 1: Matt Hasselback Johnny Us right here on Chuck and Buck
• 54:02
  Speaker 1: in the morning's former Seahawks quarterback lending us a little expertise,
• 54:07
  Speaker 1: nice wrinkles, nice observations, nice little you know angles that
• 54:12
  Speaker 1: we haven't really touched upon yet this week.
• 54:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well, yeah, we need to have We need to
• 54:17
  Speaker 3: have his brother on with Gene and find out what
• 54:20
  Speaker 3: the scouting report on Gene was. With Gene, Jeene, that
• 54:23
  Speaker 3: guy that threw a bunch of intentional groundings. I can
• 54:26
  Speaker 3: so see that my little brother saying, hey, watch out
• 54:29
  Speaker 3: for this.
• 54:29
  Speaker 2: I'm shut out. That's done. And then it coming back
• 54:32
  Speaker 2: to haunting you.
• 54:33
  Speaker 1: Know, for a long time I've thought that people should
• 54:35
  Speaker 1: study Major League Baseball umpires and their strike zones and
• 54:39
  Speaker 1: then bet the over under on the runs based on that,
• 54:42
  Speaker 1: not about the pitching matchup, about what kind of homeplate
• 54:45
  Speaker 1: umpire that you get. I've never followed up on it myself,
• 54:49
  Speaker 1: probably cost myself probably billions, maybe trillions of dollars.
• 54:51
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, it's definitely a thing. Yeah, is it a thing?
• 54:54
  Speaker 10: Yeah?
• 54:54
  Speaker 3: You know, which one of those clowns back there like
• 54:57
  Speaker 3: to give the plate like twenty inches instead of seventeen
• 55:00
  Speaker 3: supposed to be.
• 55:00
  Speaker 5: It's high billions.
• 55:02
  Speaker 2: Okay, high billions. I really have a different life.
• 55:05
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 55:06
  Speaker 2: Now I've given it too late. Now I've given everybody
• 55:08
  Speaker 2: the idea. All right, coming up next. He's a funny, funny,

  Speaker 2: chatted with you. How the heck are you?
• 55:52
  Speaker 11: Yeah, yeah, it's the jokey boy himself.
• 55:54
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 55:56
  Speaker 11: Yeah, I mean it's your joking boy. I believe last
• 56:01
  Speaker 11: time you called me up in.
• 56:02
  Speaker 2: Comer while you can rhyme now, joking boy.
• 56:07
  Speaker 7: I just I'm getting a lot of disrespect.
• 56:09
  Speaker 11: I know you guys can't afford Adam Ray and you're
• 56:12
  Speaker 11: stuck with me, but if you could just put a
• 56:14
  Speaker 11: little more respect on the profession. Other than that, I'm
• 56:18
  Speaker 11: doing good. Other than my intro is jokey boy. I mean, listen,
• 56:22
  Speaker 11: I understand that following Matt Hasselback a little bit of
• 56:25
  Speaker 11: a letdown for some listeners, But I'm doing well. Other
• 56:29
  Speaker 11: than that.
• 56:30
  Speaker 3: You're in the ring of honor, a comedy ring of
• 56:32
  Speaker 3: honor that I have in my heart, by the way.
• 56:35
  Speaker 7: So you know that.
• 56:36
  Speaker 11: Yeah, that's good.
• 56:37
  Speaker 7: Good, So.
• 56:40
  Speaker 2: It is very big. So what I heard was other
• 56:42
  Speaker 2: than Chuck, I'm doing fine. That's what I heard. Well,
• 56:45
  Speaker 2: a little bit of life's going good.
• 56:46
  Speaker 11: Other than what you say, Joe, Right, I think that
• 56:50
  Speaker 11: might be an entry out of Ashley and Buck's diary, right, there.
• 56:55
  Speaker 1: Probably right about that, you know, you know what, you
• 56:59
  Speaker 1: know what though, this is a true story our own
• 57:03
  Speaker 1: Jessamine McIntyre, who works here.
• 57:04
  Speaker 2: You don't know her, don't ever get to know her.
• 57:07
  Speaker 1: Uh. She sent us a text a couple of weeks ago.
• 57:10
  Speaker 1: She was like, do you guys want Adam ray On?
• 57:13
  Speaker 1: And I and Ashley can attest to this. My response was,
• 57:16
  Speaker 1: we're Dustin Nickerson people.
• 57:18
  Speaker 2: That's right, that's right.
• 57:22
  Speaker 11: Oh my gosh, well you made the wrong choice. Adam
• 57:25
  Speaker 11: is very fun. Yeah, that was that was a I
• 57:30
  Speaker 11: don't know if you guys just hate ratings, but you know,
• 57:35
  Speaker 11: you know, he's very popular for a reason. But you know,
• 57:39
  Speaker 11: I respect the loyalty. I respect that I am your
• 57:42
  Speaker 11: preferred jokey.
• 57:43
  Speaker 2: Boy, number one jokey boy.
• 57:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Tombstone professional comedian, seattleite.
• 57:55
  Speaker 7: I mean he is.
• 57:56
  Speaker 2: We got to know him during the Mariners this season. Really,
• 57:59
  Speaker 2: that's when we got to know you.
• 58:00
  Speaker 1: So a little different experience as a Mariner fan to
• 58:03
  Speaker 1: a Seahawks fan, at least for the last fifteen years.
• 58:06
  Speaker 1: So what is the difference in you as a fan
• 58:11
  Speaker 1: of the Mariners versus a fan of the Seahawks.
• 58:14
  Speaker 11: Oh, I mean, there's some hope. That's a Sea Hawks fan.
• 58:21
  Speaker 11: I mean, there's there's a prove written track record that
• 58:25
  Speaker 11: at least once in your lifetime you might experience joy
• 58:29
  Speaker 11: at the end of the season. And so yeah, there's
• 58:33
  Speaker 11: there's some hope in that regard. You know, you have
• 58:38
  Speaker 11: a proof of concept, I believe is the term I'm
• 58:41
  Speaker 11: looking for, like, oh, wow, this team could actually win
• 58:45
  Speaker 11: a championship.
• 58:46
  Speaker 2: So a little less.
• 58:49
  Speaker 11: You know, a little less I don't know, pessimistic, negative,
• 58:54
  Speaker 11: But that's also because it's Wednesday, you know, I mean,
• 58:57
  Speaker 11: by this time the weekend rulls around, I'm gonna probably
• 58:59
  Speaker 11: be full panic and you know everything objectively this game
• 59:05
  Speaker 11: you're like, well, the Seahawks should win comfortably, like objectively,
• 59:10
  Speaker 11: which which means subjectively, I'm like, wow, we'll probably choke.
• 59:14
  Speaker 11: It's the Seattle way. But you know, somewhere in between,
• 59:18
  Speaker 11: there is how I'm feeling on this Wednesday before the
• 59:20
  Speaker 11: big game.
• 59:21
  Speaker 3: Okay, so this is the this is the glass half
• 59:24
  Speaker 3: full version of how you're feeling right now.
• 59:27
  Speaker 11: It's as good as it gets, is as good as
• 59:30
  Speaker 11: it gets for me, which is on paper, this team
• 59:35
  Speaker 11: is the better team. But but that that's as good
• 59:38
  Speaker 11: as it's gonna get but you know, forty one years
• 59:41
  Speaker 11: of painting, you know, let down of cl sports franchises
• 59:45
  Speaker 11: and the fact that I'm a University of Washington alum,
• 59:49
  Speaker 11: and the last week and a half of that drama
• 59:51
  Speaker 11: has not been like, well, you know, everything's turning around
• 59:54
  Speaker 11: in my sports world.
• 59:57
  Speaker 3: Hey, you lost quarterback and then it came right back.
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 7: What did you make it? Oh?
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 11: I want to be a Husky. I'm not sure if
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 11: our quarterback does, but I want to be one.
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 3: Well, the good thing is that the Ducks ended up
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 3: and kept their zero alive. And I know that you
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 3: continue to want to Uncle Phil to live forever.
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 2: Right Oh man, that's uh.
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 11: I the University of Washington fan has a debt to
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 11: Indiana that can never be repaid. Just annihilate first the
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 11: gift of Penix and then to annihilate Alabama in Oregon
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 11: and back to back weeks. I was like, oh, Mike,
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 11: what did I do to deserve this love? You know
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 11: I got in a week's time. I received more love
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 11: from the University of Indiana than I did my mother
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 11: my entire life. So this is, you know, which is
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 11: why I'm a jokey boy, but thank you Indiana. So yeah,
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 11: that was that was a good watch.
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 7: It was.
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 11: I mean, if anyone's for Hawks fans, and especially for
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 11: Hawks and Huskies fans, I mean, what a what an
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 11: incredible three or four days of peace free, peaceful not
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 11: peace free that that's probably the Saturday but peaceful football watching.
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 2: I felt like the.
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 11: John Hamm meme going around. I was like, this is
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 11: as good as it gets.
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 1: Right here our number one jokey boy, Dustin Nickerson joining
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 1: us here on Chuck and Buck. So, I know you've
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 1: done a lot of material in front of Ducks fans
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 1: about Ducks fans. How about forty nine Ers fans and
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 1: just the forty nine ers in general? After years of
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 1: dealing with these you know these people, where are you
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 1: at with your feelings towards the San Francisco forty nine Ers.
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 11: Well, I will say this about Niners fans, to their
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 11: credit is you know, they're good natured, They know how
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 11: to take a joke, they never complain, they have good perspective.
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 11: They very little, very very rarely lose sight of the
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 11: fact that they haven't won a championship since the same
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 11: time the Cowboys used to wear win championships. No, I mean,
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 11: the the Niners terrible, just absolutely miserable. They're like, it's
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 11: just they're this weird mix of like like trashy but
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 11: also kind of like elitist, you know, like a like
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 11: a really you know what I mean, like a really confident,
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 11: like elite person that lives in a trailer park. You know,
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 11: You're like, dude, you don't even know who you are,
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 11: be one or the other. So I don't, Yeah, I don't.
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 11: I don't care for Niners fans, and uh, it'll be
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 11: that being said, you're like, oh god, I can't handle
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 11: another offseason of losing to them. They're just it would
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 11: and uh, it's just like it's very Seattle luck of
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 11: course that I mean, I tweeted that immediately that You're like, oh,
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 11: of course it was always going to be the Niners
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 11: or the Rams, and it's probably going to be the
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 11: Niners and the Rams at this point because it just
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 11: seemed that that was destined. But that means that, yeah,
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 11: I've done lots of I you know, I I've done
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 11: lots of Mariners with here I go, I do the
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 11: jokes everywhere I go. I mean, I you know, I'm
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 11: gonna be.
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 7: I was in.
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 11: Houston last weekend, uh, you know, making fun of Astros fans.
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 11: I'm gonna be in Eugene on Thursday opening for Bergazzi,
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 11: and I'll be back there headlining this summer. You know,
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 11: I'll go into the U, I'll march into Mordor and
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 11: tell some funny, tell some funnies.
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 1: You're so right, though, about the Safer, because they lead
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 1: the league in both, like ridiculously snobby, like Brie and
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 1: you know, if you've got like a champagne flute at
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 1: your you know, your tailgate, there's.
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 2: Something wrong with you.
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 1: So they sort of lead the league in that. But
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 1: they also lead the league in fights inside the stadium.
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 1: They right, they're they You're not supposed to have the
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 1: crown in both of those areas.
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 11: No, No, they You're like, are you San Francisco or Oakland?
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 11: Which one are you? You know, they've they've got they've
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 11: got a little bit of a little bit of both,
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 11: and they just have this weird merge of attitude that
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 11: is just frankly not earned.
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 7: I mean they are not.
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 11: I mean, if you wanna, if you wanna, if you
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 11: want a franchise that almost win, then yeah, the Niners
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 11: are your franchise, but they have they are. They are
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 11: not good at winning championships. I saw somebody they're good
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 11: at historically losing them.
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 3: Actually, somebody pointed out that their last championship was closer
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 3: to the moon landing than it was to present day,
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 3: which I thought was interesting. I'm wondering. No, I mean,
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 3: you wrote a little bit of a superstitious training. It
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 3: was more based on just planning. But you were on
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 3: stage during a lot of the Mariners postseason run. Are
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 3: you gonna be I don't know, if anything, just standing
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 3: on some sort of raised platform waiting for people to
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 3: give you updates on the Seahawk game or no.
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 11: Yeah, you know TPD so far that has not applied
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 11: to football, which you know is a very baseball thing, right,
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 11: the superstitions.
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 2: But you know, I'll be.
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 11: It's gonna be hard to do because I'm back on
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 11: the Bargazzi bus this week. I'm hitting the bright lights.
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 2: Baby.
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 11: We got big cities coming. We got Missoula, we got Yakama,
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 11: we got Eugene, all the bright lights. So so Saturday,
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 11: I'm either going to be in Montana or Yakama. I
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 11: don't even know wherever the bus drops me off. But
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 11: the point is I'm looking to be performing for eight minutes,
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 11: So unfortunately, if that is a superstition, I'm gonna have
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 11: to just set up and you know, I'm just gonna
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 11: have to set up my own open mic and perform
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 11: for the crew, which they will not care for.
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 2: Just but we'll do it. We'll do what it takes.
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 2: Just more time out on the town and Yakama.
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 11: Yeah, you know the bright lights, you know, I know
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 11: all the spots yeah.
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah, oh yeah, crack of Vegas. I used to do
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 3: a lot of really fun things there.
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 11: If you want to know, okay, yeah, send me a
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 11: text and I will make sure. I'll tell Google Maps
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 11: to avoid those spots exactly.
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 1: How much of your time when you're with Bargatzi, because
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 1: he's like a sports nut in his own way, how
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 1: much time do you guys sit around talking sports and
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 1: complaining about your teams you root for.
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 11: Well, you know he's a Titans fan, a Vanderbilt fan.
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, a lot.
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 11: We've got. Neither of us experience much joy in our sports,
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 11: so or at least we get some temporary joy that
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 11: we know eventually will will end in heartbreak. Or pain.
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 11: You know, it's a bit of a metaphor for life
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 11: in that regards. Sorry, that got darker for Mortaring Radio
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 11: than it should. Uh, okay, sorry, I'm having you know,
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 11: the kids are just getting back into school, we're all
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 11: getting back into the swing of things here. We've got
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 11: to work through our existential crisis on air and as
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 11: people sit in I five traffic. But the uh, we
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 11: do a lot and there's usually uh there's usually like
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 11: a room that the TV will be set up, and
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 11: most like what usually happens is because on this tour
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 11: there's just fan. There's there's crew and comedians from all
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 11: over the country, so we have there'll be one person
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 11: really into the game and then we all just kind
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 11: of uh watch the one person. You're watching the game,
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 11: but you're also watching the fan. And I'll be the
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 11: fan this weekend where they'll be watching enjoying a good
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 11: football game, and I'll be thinking, actually, I'd probably rather
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 11: watch this by myself and maybe I'll retreat.
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 1: I love it all right, Well, be confident as confident
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 1: as you're capable of being, enjoy have fun and uh,
• 1:08:14

• 1:10:21
  Speaker 1: and he's had like a point in each of his
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 1: last eleven games on average, And I'm like, oh, that's good,
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 1: that's good. And then you compare it though to other

  Speaker 1: stars around the NHL and the league leaders, and I'm
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 1: talking like the top twenty guys get like two points
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 1: a game to lead the league. So it does feel
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 1: like Maddy's playing better, But I guess he's still not
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 1: where they ideally want him to get.
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 10: Oh yeah, I think the ceiling is much higher than
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 10: where he's at right now. But it has been great
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 10: to see, you know, his game evolved this year. We've
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 10: talked a lot, you know, in past conversations on the
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 10: broadcast about his two hundred foot game getting better. You know,
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 10: from the red line back to the krack and net.
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 10: He's playing better defensively, he's taking away pos, he's winning
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 10: puck battles along the boards. He didn't see that as
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 10: much in his first few years, so that that has
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 10: gotten a lot better. But you also want to see
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 10: that translate to the offensive side of the game as well.
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 10: And you know, for the first part of the season
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 10: it didn't seem to happen very much, and now you're
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 10: starting to see it turn a corner a little bit.
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 10: So I think it's stepping stones. He's made that next
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 10: next step. But to your point, there's a lot more
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 10: stepping stones in front of them that I think he
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 10: can get.
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 3: To as far as yeah, what it takes to guess
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 3: be like a big time store scorer, you know, then yeah,
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 3: there's definitely more steps.
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 2: But right now, the team's playing well.
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 3: I mean, you got a lot of youngsters that are
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 3: stepping up, and so everybody's just kind of chipping in.
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 3: Maybe it's you don't have that aircraft carrier like they
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 3: call it in baseball. But I am wondering right now,
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 3: are you seeing something special out of the youngsters in
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 3: the way in which the team is playing collectively?
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 10: Oh? Absolutely. I mean you can talk about Berkeley Catton,
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 10: you know, four goals in the last three games, you know,
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 10: starting to get on the board more. You can talk
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 10: about the fourth line, Ben Myers, Jacob Lahnson and depending
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 10: on who's on that left wing, Ty Carceo or Ryan
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 10: Winterton not not just you know, playing well, but having
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 10: a direct impact on the out on the outcome of
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 10: the game. And then the case of Jacob Malanson, who's
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 10: now fourth on this team in hits absolutely an impact
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 10: on the outcome and they're exciting to watch. They create energy,
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 10: the shift momentum. So it's not just about scoring goals
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 10: with those three guys, but but Berkeley Catten, that fourth
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 10: line and even Shane Wright starting to you know, put
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 10: pucks in the net. So Berkeley Catton is playing on
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 10: that third line with Shane Wright and Jared McCann is
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 10: the right winger, and I like that because Jared mccannon's
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 10: got so much skill and an offense on his own,
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 10: not to mention leadership, he's helping bring those other two
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 10: guys along. I think that line could be a surprisingly
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 10: top lot good line here by the end of.
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 1: The Yeah, we talked about this just yesterday. I think
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 1: that the young kids really did provide a spark much needed.
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 1: I think they're the spark that they brought. The energy
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 1: that they brought was as much responsible for the team's
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 1: turnaround here in the last ten twelve games as really anything.
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 1: And now if you can marry that with Jayden Schwartz
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 1: coming back and Montour coming back, it feels like to me,
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 1: if the league's going to start to adjust to what
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 1: the kids are doing to make the crack and win
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 1: more hockey games. It feels like all of those veterans
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 1: are coming back just in the nick of time to
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 1: bail them out and to lend their expertise.
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 10: Well, yeah, I mean, looking at some of these injuries
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 10: that have happened. You know, over the course of the
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 10: first thay four games, you thought, well, Jennuary is going
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 10: to be your toughest part of the season. With seventeen
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 10: games in thirty one days. You hope to get most,
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 10: if not all, those guys back somewhere, you know, ideally
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 10: earlier in that month, to the middle of the month.
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 10: But you're close. I think Montree will be back before
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 10: this this this road trip. Jayde Schwartz is already back.
• 1:14:09
  Speaker 10: This team has not been one hundred percent healthy at
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 10: all this season season. Even in Game one you had
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 10: Copo Cocco out of the lineup. So it's going to
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 10: be interesting to see, you know, what decisions have to
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 10: be made from a roster standpoint, because not all of
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 10: them can be on the roster if they're one hundred
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 10: percent healthy. But it's also going to be interesting to
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 10: see what they can do with a one hundred percent
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 10: healthy roster, what that team looks like, you know how
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 10: you know how they play against top teams in this league.
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 3: Well, when is the trade den? I think it's like March, right,
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 3: and and so do you both we can March. Do
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 3: they have to wait and see how this team's playing
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 3: for another month before they make a decision or is
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 3: it one of those Yeah, you are dealing with some injuries.
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 3: Hopefully some guys are coming back, and you just trust
• 1:14:51
  Speaker 3: that you're going to be in this thing and you
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 3: make a move to add something right now.
• 1:14:57
  Speaker 10: Well, as of the end of the game against the Rangers,
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 10: the win inter night, this team was sixty eight percent
• 1:15:03
  Speaker 10: likely to be in the playoffs this year, and so
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 10: you know you have to think, well, if they can
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 10: continue to have success in this month of January, which
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 10: you know it was going to be a arb, either
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 10: things were going to implode and you were going to
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 10: lose fifteen of seventeen, or you were going to go
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 10: on a run. And it seems like they're kind of
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 10: leaning towards that going on a run standpoint. Again, with
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 10: and with coming back, our guys coming back healthy, I
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 10: think it can only get better. So from a trade standpoint,
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 10: management's got to look at this and say what pieces
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 10: or piece do we need to go as deep as
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 10: we can in the playoffs. So you're not going to
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 10: make one trade and be a Stanley Cup contender. That's
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 10: just not a reality. But there's no reason why one
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 10: or two more pieces couldn't get you deep into the
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 10: playoffs and then set you up for potentially making a
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 10: Cup run in the next one or one to three years.
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 1: Al Kiniski is with US color analyst for your Seattle
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 1: crack and the trade deadlines March sixth, there's an even
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 1: your date before that. From the standpoint of what it
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 1: does to the course of the crack and season, and
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 1: that is the Olympics, and you've already mentioned that. What
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 1: do you think what kind of impact do you think
• 1:16:13
  Speaker 1: that that could have positive negative for the crack and
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 1: to take that much time off, Yeah.
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 10: I think it's gonna obviously for the guys that don't go.
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 10: It's going to give those guys a chance to rest
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 10: their bodies, so they're going to be in a good
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 10: position when that when the league picks up again after
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 10: the after the Olympic break. I think for the guys
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 10: that do go to the Olympics, cocko a group hour
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 10: and UH and told then not to mention Oscar Fisker
• 1:16:41
  Speaker 10: Moguard for Denmark.
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 11: UH.
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 10: For those guys, I think it's one of three things.
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 10: I think their game gets better because they're playing with
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 10: and against the best guys in the world. I think
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 10: it's neutral, maybe there are four games and they're out
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 10: and they're flying back home. Or the detrimental side, which
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 10: is there's an injury and obviously you don't hope for that,
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 10: but you know you're going to have injuries come out
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 10: of the play out of the Winter Olympics. And so
• 1:17:04
  Speaker 10: the question is with the Krack and sending three guys
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 10: into the Olympics versus other teams that have six or
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 10: seven guys' those are the better teams. The vegas is
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 10: if you will, there's a higher likelihood that there could
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 10: be injuries with those teams that have more guys than
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 10: the Olympics, and that could potentially help the crack and
• 1:17:21
  Speaker 10: coming out of that Olympic break.
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:17:24
  Speaker 3: I mean the nice part too is that some of
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 3: these guys, I mean, maybe not groovy and but some
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 3: of the guys that are heading in younger guys. I mean,
• 1:17:31
  Speaker 3: is the experience of playing in Olympics something that you
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 3: just can't really get playing anywhere else.
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 10: Yeah, I think so. I mean, the four Nations was
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 10: pretty close last year. But I think you know, as
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 10: far as a player is concerned, you want to win
• 1:17:47
  Speaker 10: a Cup, and you want to win a medal, and
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 10: ideally a gold medal, and there's just no other way
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 10: to do it other than going to the Olympics. And
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 10: you might play on a team where you know, on
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 10: a ten year career, you go to the Stanley Cup
• 1:18:00
  Speaker 10: finals two or three times. If you're lucky again on
• 1:18:02
  Speaker 10: a good team, you might never get a chance to
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 10: go to the Olympics for whatever reason as a player,
• 1:18:07
  Speaker 10: and so in some ways it's a harder achievement to
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 10: get and so having that opportunity, most players are never
• 1:18:13
  Speaker 10: going to turn it down.
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 1: All right, give us a thumbnail sketch of this matchup tonight,
• 1:18:18
  Speaker 1: New Jersey around to five hundred record Kracking obviously playing
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 1: really good hockey right now, what do you expect?
• 1:18:26
  Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean, the Devils had a tough run since
• 1:18:28
  Speaker 10: the end of November. I believe it was seventeen or
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 10: eausely four seventeen oh one or something like that. But
• 1:18:36
  Speaker 10: they won against Minnesota in their night, a game that
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 10: gave the Kracking a really tough run the other day.
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 10: So they're coming off with win, they've got a little
• 1:18:43
  Speaker 10: bit of confidence, they're in their own building. It's going
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 10: to be a tough match for the Kracking. But here's
• 1:18:48
  Speaker 10: the thing. You know, there's a back to back between
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 10: the Devils and the Bruins tonight and tomorrow. Then you
• 1:18:54
  Speaker 10: get a day off and you get an afternoon game
• 1:18:56
  Speaker 10: against the Utah Mamboth. I absolutely think these next two games,
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 10: even though it's a back to back, are winnable games
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 10: for the Kraken. They seem to have solved this back
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 10: to back issue if they're able to pull a wins
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 10: out in both those games. They're going into Utah, which
• 1:19:11
  Speaker 10: has some ghosts. They haven't won them that Delta Center
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 10: building yet, but it sets them up for a potential
• 1:19:17
  Speaker 10: for want to no road trip, but worst case maybe
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 10: it's three one on one or three two in one.
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 10: But there's no reason why they can't finish this road
• 1:19:24
  Speaker 10: trip with at least six points and if they're if
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 10: they're really good.
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 2: Eight that's the that's problem with having a trick back
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 2: to back. You can throw it back to back out
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 2: at any moment. So hopefully they don't. You know, we
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 2: had a back to back strong, you know, by the
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 2: way I can built for that back to back, Yeah, exactly.
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 1: I don't know if you're a fan of Seinfeld, but
• 1:19:45
  Speaker 1: I hope you run into Putty and Foreverett's sake. I
• 1:19:48
  Speaker 1: hope he finally gets to meet Snookie while you're there
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 1: in New Jersey.
• 1:19:53
  Speaker 10: We'll look for the faith Painter himself.
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 2: There you go. All right, Now, we'll have fun tonight.
• 1:19:59
  Speaker 1: We'll be listening, all right, boys, sit here, all right,
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 1: Al Konisky joining us as he does every week right

• 1:20:17

• 1:20:22
  Speaker 1: mainstay on the menu, but it needs to be, because
• 1:20:26
  Speaker 1: I'd have that morning, noon, and night over there at
• 1:20:28
  Speaker 1: the Queen Anne Beer Hall. All right, Coming up next,
