- 0:11Speaker 1: seven host even has a voice, my guesses, But when
- 0:14Speaker 1: you woke up this morning, here's what I want to
- 0:16Speaker 1: hear from you. What'd you think? What'd you feel when
- 0:20Speaker 1: you woke up this morning? Nobody likes Mondays. Mondays absolutely blow.
- 0:26Speaker 1: They're just not fun. I don't like them. I like Mondays.
- 0:28Speaker 1: You don't like Mondays. None of us like Mondays. Right,
- 0:31Speaker 1: But this Monday was different. This Monday was different. It
- 0:37Speaker 1: should be different now. It could get even better. In
- 0:41Speaker 1: two weeks, that Monday might be a lot better. But
- 0:45Speaker 1: just listen. You're a Seahawks fan. I'm gonna tell you
- 0:48Speaker 1: right now. If you're not a Seahawks fan, you can
- 0:50Speaker 1: just go pound sand you can go. We'll invite you
- 0:52Speaker 1: back on in a couple of weeks. Yeah, I'm gonna
- 0:55Speaker 1: just invite you back in a couple of weeks because

- 1:11Speaker 1: little red microphone. There's a talkbacks feature. You hit the
- 1:13Speaker 1: red microphone. You can speak for thirty seconds or less.
- 1:17Speaker 1: Just give me your raw motion. Hell, you can scream
- 1:19Speaker 1: me yet if you want. I don't care. Give me
- 1:20Speaker 1: a raw motion. I want to hear from you, and
- 1:22Speaker 1: I'll give you the example. Last night game ends, I'm
- 1:27Speaker 1: my back is jacked up. I think I hurt my back. Well,
- 1:32Speaker 1: thank you for that. I think it's like just backspasm,
- 1:37Speaker 1: you know, sometimes happens just when the legs are feeling
- 1:39Speaker 1: better then the back kicks in. But like jumping up
- 1:42Speaker 1: and down to the easy chair, high five and with
- 1:44Speaker 1: a bunch of young guys were watching the thing somewhere
- 1:46Speaker 1: along the way, I got injured. I'm playing hurt today.
- 1:49Speaker 2: It's okay, though, So proud of you this story.
- 1:52Speaker 1: Thank you. Yeah, it's about what is it your Obleekay?
- 1:56Speaker 1: I don't think. I don't think I have an oblique.
- 2:00Speaker 1: If I do, it's pretty bad. It's whatever you know, Yeah,
- 2:04Speaker 1: Joeld Chuck Knox back in the day. He got a knee.
- 2:07Speaker 1: I think he tores a cl chuck anyway, Yeah, somewhere
- 2:11Speaker 1: a lot. But we're jumping up and down. We're going crazy.
- 2:14Speaker 1: You're watching the game in our house. Game ends. Open
- 2:16Speaker 1: up the door our neighborhood. There's fireworks going off. People
- 2:21Speaker 1: are going crazy.
- 2:22Speaker 2: Oh yeah, and you're far from downtown.
- 2:24Speaker 1: We're in Maple Valley, so we're not supposed to have
- 2:26Speaker 1: fireworks even out there in Old King County. But that's whatever.
- 2:30Speaker 2: Nobody.
- 2:30Speaker 1: Yeah, there's the people had that fireworks going up. People
- 2:33Speaker 1: literally screaming and yelling. Our next door neighbor, Big Sexy.
- 2:37Speaker 1: We call him Zach. We call him big Sex.
- 2:39Speaker 2: He's big sexy.
- 2:43Speaker 1: I think that's what that's what we're that's what I hear.
- 2:45Speaker 1: I don't know, but like he had a whole bunch
- 2:47Speaker 1: of people over and we combined forces in the two
- 2:50Speaker 1: houses for for a while. Like boys are taking shots
- 2:54Speaker 1: having We had a bunch of Georgetown growlers. It was
- 2:57Speaker 1: and it was just a party, and it was so
- 3:00Speaker 1: much fun for this reason. And I'm gonna get into
- 3:02Speaker 1: this little bit more tomorrow. I've talked about this on
- 3:03Speaker 1: the show. We all need this right now in our world.
- 3:07Speaker 1: We all need this absolutely in our city. A lot
- 3:09Speaker 1: of cities, US and Boston the two cities lucky enough
- 3:12Speaker 1: to experience it right now. It's awesome sports, pretty people together.
- 3:16Speaker 1: But it was a great day yesterday, this town. Fifty
- 3:19Speaker 1: years of Seahawk football. This is the fourth Super Bowl
- 3:22Speaker 1: appearance in fifty years. But if you look at recent memory,
- 3:26Speaker 1: since Mike took him in five the last twenty years,
- 3:28Speaker 1: it's number four. Pretty damn good, like a pretty impressive streak.
- 3:32Speaker 1: John Schneider is just the best executive in the National
- 3:36Speaker 1: Football League. And I don't need whoever else is in
- 3:39Speaker 1: the conversation. You're arguing for numbers of spots two and three. Yep,
- 3:42Speaker 1: that's what you're arguing for. He's the best in the business.
- 3:45Speaker 1: What he did with this roster, to turn it over,
- 3:47Speaker 1: to flip it like he did, change coaches, hire the
- 3:50Speaker 1: right coach, who hired the right staff, made a tough move.
- 3:54Speaker 1: We haven't Let's not forget we talked about the tough
- 3:56Speaker 1: move to the quarterback situation. You had a one in
- 4:00Speaker 1: offensive coordinator in Ryan Grubb and a first year head
- 4:04Speaker 1: coach in the NFL had to decide, Nope, this isn't working.
- 4:08Speaker 1: We're moving on. And they go out and to get
- 4:10Speaker 1: Klint Kubiak and that has been an absolute hit, and
- 4:14Speaker 1: it had to be a hit yesterday because the defense
- 4:16Speaker 1: wasn't very good or their offense for the Rams was
- 4:20Speaker 1: just that good, and that might be the kryptonite we
- 4:24Speaker 1: talked about last week. That game had everything you could
- 4:27Speaker 1: want and then some I look into the numbers today.
- 4:30Speaker 1: I mean in some ways you would look at and
- 4:33Speaker 1: say Seattle probably shouldn't have won, but they did in
- 4:38Speaker 1: terms of you know, yards gain everything else. There's a
- 4:41Speaker 1: couple of things that jumped out at me. Second half.
- 4:43Speaker 1: This is the second half possessions and drives for the Rams,
- 4:49Speaker 1: and this is why it was just like got a
- 4:52Speaker 1: little dicey, got a little crazy the Rams in the
- 4:55Speaker 1: second half. A nine minute and forty one second drive
- 5:01Speaker 1: that resulted in a touchdown, a two minute and six
- 5:05Speaker 1: second drive that resulted in a touchdown, then another long
- 5:09Speaker 1: drive that resulted in them turning the ball over on
- 5:12Speaker 1: downs seven minutes and twenty four seconds. Here's a problem
- 5:18Speaker 1: that was the one that they turned over in debt.
- 5:20Speaker 1: They should have kicked the field goal, like kick the
- 5:23Speaker 1: field goal one point game. I don't know why they didn't,
- 5:25Speaker 1: to be honest, because it's Sean McVay. I tell you
- 5:29Speaker 1: what's gonna know, here we go. I get you're going
- 5:31Speaker 1: for the lead. He does that though, and on today's
- 5:35Speaker 1: day and age, today's world. I'm sure whatever chart you have,
- 5:40Speaker 1: whatever analytical chart you have, the chart says this, you
- 5:43Speaker 1: do this. You gotta go with your gut whatever. All
- 5:46Speaker 1: I know is I'm thinking they kicked the field goal
- 5:49Speaker 1: three points. It changes the entire dimension of what Seattle
- 5:52Speaker 1: does in that next drive because it's one point game.
- 5:55Speaker 1: They eat the ball back, kickfield goal. When the game
- 5:56Speaker 1: thanks were coming anyway, whether it would be the penalty
- 5:59Speaker 1: to reekwalling, it would be the big plays that everyone
- 6:01Speaker 1: seemed to make. I mean, take it. Jake Bobo is
- 6:05Speaker 1: a hero, catches a ball in the end zone that
- 6:08Speaker 1: we all thought that's going to be Cup or No
- 6:09Speaker 1: is a barner, No, No, it's Bobo or Bobo.
- 6:13Speaker 2: They didn't need a fast receiver for that.
- 6:15Speaker 1: They just needed a guy to catch a ball and
- 6:17Speaker 1: made a play and it was just great, right Cup
- 6:20Speaker 1: as well? Tell you Cooper Cup, seriously, playoff Cooper Cup
- 6:25Speaker 1: is different.
- 6:26Speaker 3: Not just the touchdown that third and nine, or he
- 6:28Speaker 3: had to it up off the ground.
- 6:30Speaker 1: Reach out, baby, let's go pick it up on the ground.
- 6:33Speaker 1: Then the other play where he had to reach across
- 6:35Speaker 1: to get to the yard to game, just every catch.
- 6:38Speaker 1: There were heroes on both sides. And I guess only
- 6:41Speaker 1: the side that wins says they really have the heroes.
- 6:44Speaker 1: But there were heroes on both sides. And we talked
- 6:47Speaker 1: about a Friday, We talked about all last week. This
- 6:50Speaker 1: was a game that was going to be uncomfortable or
- 6:54Speaker 1: entertaining or both. The entire game, the ups and the downs,
- 6:58Speaker 1: the highs and the lows. The two best teams in
- 7:01Speaker 1: the NFL going right at it again for the third
- 7:03Speaker 1: time this year. Two teams that know each other inside
- 7:05Speaker 1: and out. They played for the Super Bowl. More than
- 7:07Speaker 1: likely they played for the Super Bowl yesterday and Seattle
- 7:11Speaker 1: eked it out, came out on top, takes the takes
- 7:14Speaker 1: the three game series two games to one, and they
- 7:16Speaker 1: move on to the championship round. That's what they did.
- 7:19Speaker 1: Mike McDonald's a star, Sam Donald Redemption Tour. Whatever you
- 7:23Speaker 1: want to say. I know everyone's talking about Sam today.
- 7:26Speaker 1: You know who's not really talking about Sam, the guys
- 7:27Speaker 1: in that building because they know they knew all year.
- 7:30Speaker 1: I want to play the interview this week at some
- 7:32Speaker 1: point that we did with him back in the spring
- 7:34Speaker 1: when started Yah, yeah, because it was that was really enlightening. Oh, like,
- 7:38Speaker 1: why did you come here? Sam? We did the first
- 7:40Speaker 1: interview here in KJR with them right after he got signed,
- 7:43Speaker 1: and we're gonna revisit that this week. So I think
- 7:45Speaker 1: it'll be kind of fun to take a listen back
- 7:47Speaker 1: to what Sam said about coming here to Seattle. We'll
- 7:51Speaker 1: do that. But the guys in the building have said
- 7:52Speaker 1: it all year, back from Mini camps, OTA's training camps.
- 7:56Speaker 1: They've always believed in this guy. Even Drew Locke believes
- 7:59Speaker 1: in him. Lock. I think that actually that's it. I
- 8:03Speaker 1: did Drew Locke interview in the room too. Yep, let's
- 8:05Speaker 1: get him because I think he talks about Sam in
- 8:07Speaker 1: that we have. Luke Falkonn, who played with him with
- 8:08Speaker 1: the Jets, said the same thing. People that have been
- 8:11Speaker 1: around Sam Donold were not surprised by what Sam Darnold's done.
- 8:14Speaker 1: The rest of the country is, you know, the meta
- 8:16Speaker 1: cimes of the world. All they should have kept Geno Smith.
- 8:18Speaker 1: That's a horrible move. Well, you know what, maybe not maybe.
- 8:22Speaker 2: Not be hindsight is the thing.
- 8:23Speaker 1: Yeah, and we all make mistakes because we're paid to
- 8:25Speaker 1: make a Listen, I'm gonna tell you something a second.
- 8:27Speaker 1: A lot of people aren't agree with it and get
- 8:29Speaker 1: mad at I don't. I'm not upset Atreek one. I think, Yes,
- 8:34Speaker 1: it's a penalty. There's also probably one hundred different instances
- 8:38Speaker 1: in a game where you could get a penalty for
- 8:40Speaker 1: that same stuff. And if you really watch closely, he
- 8:44Speaker 1: was chirping, and so was Matt Stafford, so were two
- 8:48Speaker 1: assistant coaches, So were three or four players on the sideline.
- 8:52Speaker 1: It was almost like one against seven, and they picked
- 8:54Speaker 1: the one guy out because he made the play. If
- 8:57Speaker 1: I just I don't blame him. It's easy to say
- 9:01Speaker 1: that because they won.
- 9:03Speaker 2: Also, he was he was so good in his response
- 9:06Speaker 2: to it.
- 9:06Speaker 1: He's after the game, he owes. I've interviewed that young
- 9:11Speaker 1: guy since day one, and he came in this league
- 9:13Speaker 1: a number of times. He is very accountable and I
- 9:18Speaker 1: appreciate that. Did he make a mistake, Yes, am I
- 9:21Speaker 1: saying that it's letter of the law penalty yes, should
- 9:25Speaker 1: he have done it?
- 9:26Speaker 3: No?
- 9:27Speaker 1: Yet, all those things, I just I'm not gonna I
- 9:30Speaker 1: am not going to condemn this guy and send him
- 9:32Speaker 1: out to the to the you know, to the arc,
- 9:35Speaker 1: to the dump and say you're done. There's too much there.
- 9:40Speaker 1: And I want him playing with passion. I want him
- 9:42Speaker 1: playing pissed off. I want him playing with some swagger.
- 9:45Speaker 1: He's a damn defensive back, he's a corner. He's good.
- 9:48Speaker 1: And he got beat the next play, because that's what
- 9:49Speaker 1: happens to Devin Witherspoon got lit up a whole bunch yesterday.
- 9:52Speaker 1: That happens. It's the nature of the beats. With that position,
- 9:54Speaker 1: Guys get beat. I'm glad it didn't cost them the game.
- 9:58Speaker 1: I'm glad they won the game. Really glad they won
- 10:00Speaker 1: the game. But I don't know. It's football, it's the
- 10:06Speaker 1: NFC Championship. There's seventy thousand people going nuts. You're barking.
- 10:10Speaker 1: They're barking. Yes, Reek, walk the blank away, Walk the
- 10:14Speaker 1: hell away, get out of there. But that didn't cost
- 10:17Speaker 1: him the game. Luckily they were able to win the game.
- 10:21Speaker 1: It could have cost him the game. If they would
- 10:22Speaker 1: have lost the game, then yeah, maybe we have a
- 10:23Speaker 1: different conversation today. I don't want to focus it on that.
- 10:26Speaker 1: I want to focus it on Sam Darnold being great.
- 10:28Speaker 1: I'm going to focus it on JSN making a catch
- 10:30Speaker 1: down the seam and knowing he's going to get killed, Yes,
- 10:33Speaker 1: knowing he's going to get lit up the stones on that, dude.
- 10:39Speaker 1: That's listen. We can make a lot of comparisons and
- 10:41Speaker 1: all that if you go back and watch Steve Largent
- 10:45Speaker 1: play back in the day. Okay, Largent took hits. I
- 10:49Speaker 1: mean there's a famous one with Harden and all that.
- 10:50Speaker 1: But like the great receivers are willing to pay the
- 10:54Speaker 1: price and take a hit, and dude knew he was,
- 10:58Speaker 1: and he knew he was going to get hit, and
- 10:59Speaker 1: he got smoked and he made that. To me, was
- 11:02Speaker 1: maybe the biggest play of the game. Like, if we're
- 11:06Speaker 1: ranking biggest players in the game one through five, one
- 11:08Speaker 1: through ten, that's that's in the top two or three,
- 11:11Speaker 1: you know. I mean, that was huge. They got the
- 11:13Speaker 1: momentum back, got the ball back, all that. I mean
- 11:15Speaker 1: just it was massive for them. So anyway, give me
- 11:18Speaker 1: your thoughts. Four nine, four to five, one more. We
- 11:20Speaker 1: want to hear your voice today. Talkbacks, screaming, all right,
- 11:24Speaker 1: we're gonna hear your voices at two thirty today when
- 11:26Speaker 1: we come back, we hear the voice of the Great
- 11:27Speaker 1: Humil in Hardcore Football coming up.

- 12:17Speaker 6: Cup and it's thirty twenty Seattle.
- 12:22Speaker 1: It's so weird. Some people are saying it's a bad
- 12:26Speaker 1: move to get rid of Gino and bring in Sam Darnold.
- 12:29Speaker 1: Strange thing. It's hardcore football. Hugh Millen is here. I
- 12:32Speaker 1: was sticking back. Let me do the let me do
- 12:33Speaker 1: the math, Hugh. First of all, Hollery, my friend, I'm
- 12:35Speaker 1: doing great, still riding a high man. Damn right, what
- 12:39Speaker 1: a what a what.
- 12:41Speaker 7: A fun time to be a Seattleite, whether you're native
- 12:44Speaker 7: or whether you're new, if you're a part of Sea
- 12:47Speaker 7: Oak Nation. Man, there's plenty of room for everybody. Come
- 12:50Speaker 7: on board, baby, come on board. I was thinking I
- 12:52Speaker 7: got to hear you. In two thousand and six. I
- 12:55Speaker 7: started doing this time slot, some variation of the midday
- 13:00Speaker 7: time slot in two thousand and eight, and I was
- 13:04Speaker 7: Jess and Anders. I was sitting there when they made
- 13:08Speaker 7: when Rich made a couple moves, you're putting you in
- 13:10Speaker 7: mid days. It was right before the fall, and I'll
- 13:13Speaker 7: never forget. I was sitting in the driveway at the
- 13:14Speaker 7: old Place three fifty one, trying to find a parking spot. Yeah,
- 13:17Speaker 7: and Seeattle, it's always fun.
- 13:19Speaker 1: And my friend Hugh Millan calls me and goes, hey, yeah,
- 13:22Speaker 1: you know, I've done this hardcore football thing with the
- 13:25Speaker 1: gross for like a long time and you may not
- 13:28Speaker 1: want to do it. I don't know if you want
- 13:29Speaker 1: to do it. I'll be willing to do it if
- 13:31Speaker 1: you want me to. And very hot, and I'm like Hugh, like, yeah,
- 13:37Speaker 1: I was. I was gonna have to call. I figured
- 13:39Speaker 1: i'd have to call and grovel to you to make
- 13:41Speaker 1: Shy sure I could do hardcore football and we've so
- 13:43Speaker 1: we've been doing it since two thousand and eight together.
- 13:45Speaker 7: Here it is two thousands, lining up my schedule for
- 13:48Speaker 7: the yeah, for the fall, and it was like, I
- 13:50Speaker 7: need to know one way or another. I'm not pushing
- 13:52Speaker 7: myself on you.
- 13:53Speaker 8: No.
- 13:53Speaker 1: I was like, I'm like, yeah, damn right, I want
- 13:56Speaker 1: to do hardcore football because I learned the game from
- 13:58Speaker 1: this guy. Every day, every time I talk to him,
- 14:00Speaker 1: and I'm thinking to myself. So that was two thousand
- 14:02Speaker 1: and eight. So here we are in twenty twenty six,
- 14:04Speaker 1: all these years later, and we've done a lot of
- 14:06Speaker 1: hardcore football's on Mondays, and there's been some really fun ones.
- 14:10Speaker 1: Basically from twenty twelve through tout twenty seventeen. They were
- 14:14Speaker 1: always fun, including some Super Bowls. There's been some years
- 14:18Speaker 1: and some days that weren't so much fun. This one
- 14:20Speaker 1: will be fun, Hugh. There's a lot of fun stuff
- 14:22Speaker 1: to talk about.
- 14:22Speaker 7: So there's too much fun stuff. And you know, look, fan,
- 14:26Speaker 7: how you want a fan? What I'm about to say,
- 14:28Speaker 7: I'm not trying to be persuasive at all, but when
- 14:32Speaker 7: I look at the rams, if they were not in
- 14:35Speaker 7: the NFC West. I like Sean McVay. I think he's brilliant.
- 14:39Speaker 7: I like his style. I like how he motivates. I
- 14:42Speaker 7: think he's a classy dude. I think he gives respect
- 14:44Speaker 7: to people. I like Matthew Stafford. I think he's been tremendous,
- 14:49Speaker 7: and the longer he gets into his career, the more
- 14:51Speaker 7: I like him. You know, you know, there's DeVante Adams,
- 14:56Speaker 7: you know, and Pooka Nicoula is a hell of a competitor.
- 14:59Speaker 7: Like I don't dislike the Rams. In fact, if they
- 15:03Speaker 7: were in the AFC South, I would really actually like them,
- 15:06Speaker 7: and you know, in most Super Bowls, I would root
- 15:09Speaker 7: for them. I just think you had a team in
- 15:11Speaker 7: the Rams that everybody. For the last several weeks, it's
- 15:16Speaker 7: either been the Rams or the Seahawks, who've had the
- 15:19Speaker 7: shortest odds to win the Super Bowl. All of the
- 15:22Speaker 7: NFL has known these are the two best teams I wanted.
- 15:26Speaker 7: I didn't want to play the Rams. I was rooting
- 15:28Speaker 7: against them against Carolina, I was rooting against them in Chicago.
- 15:31Speaker 7: I don't want to talk out of both sides of
- 15:32Speaker 7: my mouth, but once it was the Rams, then I'm
- 15:36Speaker 7: like you know, the sweetest NFC championship game will be
- 15:41Speaker 7: and I thought I thought we'd win the game, but
- 15:44Speaker 7: it will be to beat the Rams. And how about this.
- 15:47Speaker 7: Can't even blame it on the rain. You know, the
- 15:49Speaker 7: Rams were healthier than the Seahawks. There are no excuses.
- 15:53Speaker 7: You lined them up, you knock them down. And so
- 15:56Speaker 7: I think I think that that's what sports was really
- 15:59Speaker 7: all kind.
- 16:00Speaker 1: Of all about.
- 16:01Speaker 7: Unbelievable game, classy competitors, very talented competitors, and the better
- 16:08Speaker 7: team won and it was just, you know, one of
- 16:09Speaker 7: the best days in the history of Seattle sports.
- 16:12Speaker 1: In my opinion, I come at it from a similar
- 16:15Speaker 1: but a little bit of a different viewpoint. I have
- 16:19Speaker 1: such great respect for what they do and watching what
- 16:22Speaker 1: that offense is able to do to that defense, you
- 16:24Speaker 1: have to how can you not respect it? Right, I mean,
- 16:26Speaker 1: it's just remarkable. I love to hate him, but I
- 16:30Speaker 1: think that's okay. It's the sports hate it's and there's
- 16:33Speaker 1: a part of me that also likes it because I
- 16:36Speaker 1: want to. I listen to McVeigh. He does all this stuff.
- 16:38Speaker 1: He's all hyped up, and I like all that, and
- 16:39Speaker 1: I'm like, you know what, though, if he was in
- 16:41Speaker 1: another division, he probably would be one of my favorite guys.
- 16:44Speaker 1: But he's not. He's here, so I don't want to
- 16:45Speaker 1: like him. That's a fair take to And you know what,
- 16:48Speaker 1: I kind of liked Harbaugh when he was in the division.
- 16:51Speaker 1: I liked that a lot. I think it's great to
- 16:54Speaker 1: have some juice and to have some actual jam is fantastic.
- 16:58Speaker 1: It's when Bruce Air with the Cardinals. Weren't those games
- 17:02Speaker 1: more fun? Like they were a lot more fun. Yeah,
- 17:05Speaker 1: it's nice to have villains, yeah again. And and I
- 17:08Speaker 1: don't know, it's a constant theme. You know, the older
- 17:10Speaker 1: I get, I'm like fan, how you want a fan?
- 17:14Speaker 1: You know, sports are one.
- 17:15Speaker 7: Of the great parts of of living, you know, and
- 17:18Speaker 7: and uh and and certainly you know, January is is
- 17:23Speaker 7: I would think, almost undebatedly the worst month of the year.
- 17:26Speaker 7: Like you got the you got the hangover, you love
- 17:28Speaker 7: the holidays season, and then you got this loll you know,
- 17:32Speaker 7: there's no more there's no more holidays.
- 17:34Speaker 1: It's the worst weather.
- 17:35Speaker 7: I mean, you know, And and so for me, the
- 17:41Speaker 7: very best part of January is unequivocally football, and nothing's close.
- 17:46Speaker 7: That's the best part of this month. And and and
- 17:48Speaker 7: we got one of the best yesterday. I mean that
- 17:50Speaker 7: was just a game for you know, a game to remember.
- 17:54Speaker 7: There's an epic classic. And uh, you know you got
- 17:57Speaker 7: great defense for a good portion of it. The third
- 18:01Speaker 7: quarter everything went haywire. Four straight touchdowns two weeks by
- 18:05Speaker 7: each team, and I mean it had it had just
- 18:08Speaker 7: about everything you could ever want if you scripted a
- 18:11Speaker 7: great NFC championship game. And and now everybody can look
- 18:15Speaker 7: and say, hey, Seattle dodged nobody. They went right through
- 18:20Speaker 7: everybody to get to the Super Bowl. They win this thing.
- 18:24Speaker 7: You know, it's not going to be a well, well
- 18:26Speaker 7: you beat Jared Stidham, you know they they if they're
- 18:30Speaker 7: hosting the Lombardy and we're talking about that two weeks
- 18:33Speaker 7: from today, then nobody is going to ever say yeah,
- 18:37Speaker 7: but about what setleised, No.
- 18:40Speaker 1: It's it's you had to beat the forty nine ers
- 18:42Speaker 1: in San Francisco to get the number one seed. You
- 18:44Speaker 1: did that, You had to beat the Rams two weeks
- 18:46Speaker 1: before that at home to give yourself that situation. Then
- 18:49Speaker 1: you had to beat the forty nine ers again. Then
- 18:51Speaker 1: you had to beat the Rams. You had to beat
- 18:52Speaker 1: the best of the best, and you and you're right
- 18:54Speaker 1: because Nis is out. Stidham gets there. You don't have
- 18:57Speaker 1: to you'll you will have to beat the guy that
- 18:59Speaker 1: probably finishes the number two behind Stafford is the MVP
- 19:02Speaker 1: in Drake May. I want to get to a couple
- 19:05Speaker 1: of plays in a second hardcore football, umil, and let
- 19:06Speaker 1: me ask you one thing, young guy sitting across from
- 19:09Speaker 1: a gaming an answer. I'll see if it's the same as
- 19:11Speaker 1: you give me. It was so ken Walker. I was
- 19:14Speaker 1: coming back with a cracking game yesterday, early cracking game.
- 19:17Speaker 1: Thankfully they moved the game time up, so I missed
- 19:19Speaker 1: the first drive. I'm listening to the great Kevin Harland.
- 19:22Speaker 1: By the way, we'll have the super Bowl right here
- 19:24Speaker 1: on KJR with Harlan again here in a couple of
- 19:26Speaker 1: weeks on kJ R, listening to Harlan doing the game,
- 19:29Speaker 1: and I hear ken Walker for four yards as ken
- 19:32Speaker 1: Walker for five yards and a hard five yards, and
- 19:34Speaker 1: Kurt Warner's like, man, what a cutback? I mean this
- 19:37Speaker 1: he has got it going. And I listen and they
- 19:40Speaker 1: score on the you know, the first drive, they score
- 19:41Speaker 1: a touchdown and then he gets you know, four more
- 19:43Speaker 1: carries in the next drive. Ken Walker has nine carries
- 19:47Speaker 1: on the first two drives of the first half, doesn't
- 19:49Speaker 1: have a carry the rest of the half in the
- 19:51Speaker 1: next three possessions, And I'm asking myself, Hugh, why, I'll
- 19:55Speaker 1: see if it's the same answer as someone else gave me.
- 19:58Speaker 7: Oh, that's a why are they You know, they might
- 20:02Speaker 7: be feeling like they need to uh to uh to
- 20:06Speaker 7: save him.
- 20:09Speaker 9: Factor.
- 20:10Speaker 1: You know that might be was that it?
- 20:13Speaker 7: I mean, uh, now, I know he's gonna say that
- 20:16Speaker 7: touchdown was due a right. You know, you had everybody
- 20:19Speaker 7: down blocking and and the whole one of the designs
- 20:22Speaker 7: of the play is that if depending on how the
- 20:25Speaker 7: mid linebacker plays it, the running back has the opportunity
- 20:28Speaker 7: to bounce it and make the corner make the tackle
- 20:31Speaker 7: the worst tackling player on the defense, and they go
- 20:34Speaker 7: due right right keefer and and uh and and everything
- 20:38Speaker 7: you know, uh reduced in collapsed in and and then
- 20:42Speaker 7: you had canine the guy that has the acceleration, he's
- 20:46Speaker 7: got the horsepower to bounce that play as the play
- 20:49Speaker 7: is designed, and and he gets around the right end edge.
- 20:52Speaker 7: I mean that's you know, not every running back in
- 20:55Speaker 7: the NFL can can convert that play and to have
- 20:58Speaker 7: to have the combination the power of Kane of K
- 21:02Speaker 7: nine and the acceleration, the burst the guy who ran
- 21:05Speaker 7: a four three five, that's that's like corner level speed
- 21:09Speaker 7: in a really squatty, powerful frame. You know, I I've
- 21:15Speaker 7: always kind of felt like he's, you know, possibly pushing
- 21:19Speaker 7: top five backs in the league, never worse.
- 21:21Speaker 1: Than top ten back in the league.
- 21:23Speaker 7: And uh, you know he's not Bjon Robinson, but he's
- 21:27Speaker 7: pretty damn good.
- 21:28Speaker 1: Was a dual, of course. It is. What's going on?
- 21:33Speaker 1: What's happening to Keith here? We gotta have another Chuck
- 21:36Speaker 1: talk best we do. We like running backs on corners,
- 21:38Speaker 1: We love that.
- 21:39Speaker 7: Right, Just you got to scheme the whole thing to
- 21:42Speaker 7: get Canine on a corner because he's gonna he's gonna win.
- 21:46Speaker 9: There's ankle biters on the outside, so he's gotta make
- 21:49Speaker 9: a miss. They're not gonna tackle you.
- 21:52Speaker 1: Worst tackling player on the in the team that those
- 21:54Speaker 1: are cornerbacks. They can't catch and they can't tackle if
- 21:59Speaker 1: they can catch a B wide receiver. Exactly, who who
- 22:02Speaker 1: are the best? Who are the best athletes on the
- 22:04Speaker 1: football field. I'm not going to answer that. I'll tell
- 22:08Speaker 1: you the smartest is it's so line. Okay, everybody, Q Hugh,
- 22:13Speaker 1: Let's get to uh, let's get to the play that
- 22:16Speaker 1: I thought was just massive. That would be second and
- 22:19Speaker 1: ten late in the first half, forty four seconds left.
- 22:23Speaker 1: Seahawks are down at that point thirteen to ten. They
- 22:27Speaker 1: have the ball on their own. Thirty six second and ten,
- 22:30Speaker 1: Sam Darrel deep pass down the middle to a guy
- 22:32Speaker 1: by the name of JSN for forty two yards. Man
- 22:37Speaker 1: went up and knew he was going to get hit.
- 22:38Speaker 1: Walk us through that play hardcore.
- 22:40Speaker 7: Yeah, Well, first of all, the Rams show a single
- 22:43Speaker 7: high defense and they ultimately they get to a Tampa
- 22:49Speaker 7: two defense with five hundred and two deep. And so
- 22:53Speaker 7: the vulnerability of a two deep defenses is along the sidelines,
- 22:57Speaker 7: on on go routes what's called hole shots or corner
- 23:00Speaker 7: or anything down the pipe, any kind of bender or
- 23:03Speaker 7: what have you. Now balls on the right hash and
- 23:06Speaker 7: I note that what I had just described about the
- 23:10Speaker 7: disguise of the play, because if you go back to
- 23:13Speaker 7: the Seahawks against the Rams at Lumenfield, remember the interception
- 23:18Speaker 7: Sam Donald threw on the slant to his left that
- 23:21Speaker 7: was basically a pick six. The Rams took it down
- 23:24Speaker 7: to the Seattle one and then punched it in the
- 23:26Speaker 7: next play. That was the exact defense from the exact
- 23:31Speaker 7: same disguise. So if you want to talk about maturation
- 23:35Speaker 7: of Sam Donald within a season against the same team
- 23:39Speaker 7: and recognizing now now he's got a chance where he
- 23:43Speaker 7: comes back and because the balls on the right hash
- 23:47Speaker 7: and Cam curls the safety on that half of the
- 23:49Speaker 7: field to Donald's left. If you remember Cam Curl, he
- 23:54Speaker 7: was the hero last week for the Rams. He gets
- 23:57Speaker 7: that unbelievable interception in the game right against Caleb Williams.
- 24:03Speaker 7: But so now Curl is obviously playing with confidence. JSN comes,
- 24:09Speaker 7: he goes up the field. He's got free access from
- 24:12Speaker 7: his slot position. And again because the balls on the
- 24:15Speaker 7: right HASH, he's leaning like he's running a corner. There's
- 24:19Speaker 7: a lot of grass for Cam Curl to have to cover.
- 24:22Speaker 7: But as he leans to the outside. Some people call
- 24:25Speaker 7: it a sting route. Some people call it a leopard,
- 24:27Speaker 7: which is lean post. We're kind of conjunction. There's a
- 24:31Speaker 7: lot of different I don't think there's a ubiquitous name
- 24:33Speaker 7: for it, but it's a lean post. And then he
- 24:36Speaker 7: goes down the middle and by the way, on the
- 24:38Speaker 7: other side to hold the other safety. If I wanted
- 24:42Speaker 7: to make the following claim, let me divert for a second.
- 24:45Speaker 7: I'll get back to that play. If I wanted to
- 24:47Speaker 7: make the following claim, here's the claim. Do I have
- 24:50Speaker 7: evidence to support it? The RAMS were worried about Rashid
- 24:55Speaker 7: Shiheed's playmaking ability. If that's the claim, and you say, okay, fine,
- 25:01Speaker 7: now show me videotape to support that claim, there's a
- 25:05Speaker 7: lot of plays that that, Uh, we don't have the
- 25:08Speaker 7: time to get into the tam, but just accept my conclusion.
- 25:11Speaker 7: The RAMS were very aware of number twenty two, particularly
- 25:17Speaker 7: after that that bomb that I was just gonna ask you,
- 25:19Speaker 7: let me, let me go on the tangent for a second,
- 25:20Speaker 7: let me ask you about that because that that play
- 25:23Speaker 7: early right on that on that first safety to help
- 25:26Speaker 7: over the time.
- 25:26Speaker 1: Yeah, right, So that that got them thinking, you me,
- 25:29Speaker 1: I mean not only that they went into the game,
- 25:31Speaker 1: I'm sure thinking about Shaheed and that possibility, but then
- 25:33Speaker 1: when that happens, that maybe influences how they're approaching the
- 25:37Speaker 1: rest of the game, is what you're saying.
- 25:38Speaker 7: Yes, they rolled coverage on him, They made sure there
- 25:41Speaker 7: was a safety over the top. They they squeezed him
- 25:43Speaker 7: and zoned they were you just kind of see that,
- 25:46Speaker 7: you know, it's it's kind of uh, they're kind of
- 25:49Speaker 7: clinging to him, you know, in zone coverage. So so
- 25:53Speaker 7: they run Shaheed on on the opposite side of JSN.
- 25:56Speaker 1: They run him on a in a.
- 25:58Speaker 7: Like a twenty four yard route, and really that's not
- 26:02Speaker 7: you're not designed to throw it there. That would be
- 26:04Speaker 7: like late late throw it there. It's more designed to
- 26:07Speaker 7: just run at the safety on that side of the
- 26:09Speaker 7: field to hold him and and you just see, you
- 26:12Speaker 7: just see how guys are looking at twenty two. So
- 26:15Speaker 7: so that puts JSN getting back to the play that
- 26:19Speaker 7: get puts JSN basically in a one on one situation
- 26:23Speaker 7: with Cam Curl. There's not a lot of safeties that
- 26:25Speaker 7: could have handled this. The ball was completed, you know,
- 26:29Speaker 7: forty forty one yards from the line of screams. I
- 26:30Speaker 7: got to check the air yards, the exact air yards
- 26:33Speaker 7: on that, but but you know, the ball was kind
- 26:38Speaker 7: of floated. I would say you could almost say Donald
- 26:41Speaker 7: was a little bit late. He had to step up
- 26:43Speaker 7: around left tackle pressure. Charles Costs was running verse around
- 26:48Speaker 7: the back, so Donald had.
- 26:49Speaker 1: To step up.
- 26:50Speaker 7: That contributed to him being less than ideal with his
- 26:53Speaker 7: timing a little bit late.
- 26:55Speaker 1: But you know, you're just throw.
- 26:56Speaker 7: Into a guy that has elite ball skills and a
- 27:00Speaker 7: great finishing ability even when he knows he's gonna get whacked.
- 27:03Speaker 7: You know, this is not like you knowing you're gonna
- 27:05Speaker 7: get whacked back in the seventies when people going for
- 27:08Speaker 7: your head. But he knew he was gonna take a
- 27:10Speaker 7: shot and he and he you know, he landed the plane,
- 27:13Speaker 7: he finished the catch. So beautiful play design, nice aggressiveness.
- 27:19Speaker 7: You got the coverage you wanted. That's a cover two beater,
- 27:22Speaker 7: and the protection was alive enough after he stepped up. Uh,
- 27:27Speaker 7: for all of that to come together beautiful. You know
- 27:29Speaker 7: you end up getting seven points off of that. You're
- 27:32Speaker 7: at this point, you're down three, yep. So that that
- 27:35Speaker 7: little jot that second quarter was as pivotal as any
- 27:38Speaker 7: period of time.
- 27:40Speaker 1: In the game in that plague Keith for did I
- 27:42Speaker 1: leave anything out?
- 27:43Speaker 8: Man?
- 27:43Speaker 1: I can't have a hole in my game.
- 27:45Speaker 9: No, No, I think you got it all. You do
- 27:47Speaker 9: a good job, and I like hearing it. It's I'm
- 27:49Speaker 9: I'm glad that you can, you know, break it down
- 27:51Speaker 9: for us.
- 27:54Speaker 1: All right, keep to worry about coverage. I'll ask about cover.
- 28:00Speaker 1: He's like, I don't know. I know the basics. I
- 28:03Speaker 1: don't know. He almost took a shot your guy Cross.
- 28:05Speaker 1: He got walked back a little bit by Verse that
- 28:06Speaker 1: what happened. I don't know. He's stating the facts. You
- 28:08Speaker 1: can say that it happens all right, all right, by
- 28:11Speaker 1: the way, that this is amazing to me. Donald got
- 28:14Speaker 1: hit on all three of his touchdown passes. He got
- 28:17Speaker 1: hit Kobe Turner twice, Jared Verse once. According to the
- 28:20Speaker 1: Story of Today from Mike Mike Sander, we'll talk to megaal.
- 28:23Speaker 7: Can I make a comment about that, Yeah, yep. The
- 28:26Speaker 7: the I had read and several sources said he's the
- 28:30Speaker 7: first QB in the next gen era to have three
- 28:34Speaker 7: or more touchdowns under pressure in a playoff game up
- 28:38Speaker 7: and so I just went back and filtered. There's been
- 28:41Speaker 7: two hundred and forty two playoff games that that that
- 28:45Speaker 7: that's from a set of two hundred and forty two games.
- 28:47Speaker 7: Sam Darnold did something yesterday that is one of one.
- 28:52Speaker 1: So you know, as.
- 28:53Speaker 7: We're heaping on the throwing the flowers on him, adorning
- 28:57Speaker 7: him with you know which he all when, which he
- 29:00Speaker 7: absolutely deserves. You know, file that one as well, so
- 29:04Speaker 7: well all of a job all three. Guess where he
- 29:07Speaker 7: was on all three of those touchdown passes. He didn't
- 29:09Speaker 7: see him because he was on it on his tush.
- 29:12Speaker 1: Yeah, but he had which happens, but he hung in
- 29:14Speaker 1: there and I just yeah, I just I thought, you know,
- 29:16Speaker 1: I watching him. The decision that was made by Schneider,
- 29:21Speaker 1: you know, to to go and make that change at quarterback.
- 29:23Speaker 1: We talked about it all last season, Hugh. There was
- 29:25Speaker 1: a they made a change, and a lot of people
- 29:27Speaker 1: across the country lamb based did the Seahawks and Schneider
- 29:30Speaker 1: for making that change and going Donald as opposed to
- 29:32Speaker 1: Gino even though he's younger and didn't the contract wasn't
- 29:35Speaker 1: as much. And you know, you talked about a lot
- 29:37Speaker 1: of different things with with what Gino did in terms
- 29:39Speaker 1: of air yards, and I mean, Schneider to me just
- 29:43Speaker 1: looks better by the second. You know, with these types
- 29:45Speaker 1: of moves, everyone's want to as you would say, the
- 29:47Speaker 1: bouquets at Donald, right, rightfully, so, but let's throw some
- 29:50Speaker 1: of John Schneider as well, right.
- 29:52Speaker 7: Yeah, And let's throw some bouquets at the offensive line,
- 29:55Speaker 7: because the NFL had it at three point six seconds
- 29:59Speaker 7: time what they called TTT time to throw, and the
- 30:02Speaker 7: average is two point four to two. So he's extended
- 30:07Speaker 7: it way beyond a second more, which is an eternity.
- 30:10Speaker 7: And as I said, he's had to step up in
- 30:12Speaker 7: the pocket. And then air yards were forty two. And
- 30:15Speaker 7: so generally, when you if you're coaching safeties, you would
- 30:18Speaker 7: say that it gets a cover too. You know, anything
- 30:22Speaker 7: beyond twenty eight yards on a on a on a
- 30:28Speaker 7: route like that, No, somebody's got to be able to close.
- 30:30Speaker 7: And here we got forty two yards. That just speaks
- 30:33Speaker 7: to how how JSN turned that safety around.
- 30:38Speaker 1: I think I'm in Cliff Fable. You used to always
- 30:40Speaker 1: tell us when he's working here, he said, you've got
- 30:42Speaker 1: you've got no more than two and a half seconds.
- 30:44Speaker 1: That's what you got. And if I go to the final,
- 30:46Speaker 1: if you get two and a half seconds, and after
- 30:49Speaker 1: two and a half seconds, I'm gonna be there, and
- 30:50Speaker 1: if I'm not, I'm not doing my job. Like that's
- 30:52Speaker 1: as simple as you got two and a half this
- 30:53Speaker 1: is three point six seconds. That's that's actually a pretty
- 30:56Speaker 1: amazing cup. That's that's pretty amazing protection for him at
- 30:59Speaker 1: that point too, Like, that's that's pretty damn good.
- 31:01Speaker 7: Yeah, and and particularly along the right side now that
- 31:05Speaker 7: you had you had a j Barner helping out abe there.
- 31:10Speaker 7: Uh so you know it's just nice scheme and a
- 31:12Speaker 7: little just a quick little chip. But anyways, uh, you
- 31:16Speaker 7: know it's great execution. But you got to call the play.
- 31:18Speaker 7: I mean, you call it cover two beater. That doesn't
- 31:20Speaker 7: mean you're going to get cover too. No, but if
- 31:23Speaker 7: you get covered too, uh, you know you got you
- 31:25Speaker 7: gotta be aggressive and go make the play.
- 31:27Speaker 1: They did it. Let's let's talk about We'll take a
- 31:30Speaker 1: quick break. I want to come back. I think we
- 31:33Speaker 1: all kind of did a double take. Who cut that was?
- 31:35Speaker 10: That?
- 31:35Speaker 1: Was that cup? Was that barner? That's Jake Bobo just
- 31:38Speaker 1: caught a touchdown pass? What the hell? And then we
- 31:41Speaker 1: watched the replay. The design looked just incredible. I want
- 31:44Speaker 1: you to walk us through hardcore style the Jake Bobo
- 31:46Speaker 1: touchdown as well. We'll get to some other stuff here.

- 32:13Speaker 5: Jena, the Rams, Arnold hunch centers center first and ten,
- 32:15Speaker 5: the snap, the fake hand of crops. Back got a
- 32:17Speaker 5: running back.
- 32:18Speaker 6: Plock first of the NSL touchdown.
- 32:20Speaker 1: Leaping down the middle.
- 32:22Speaker 6: Bobo, Shake Bobo with a leap and a catch underneath
- 32:27Speaker 6: the crush guard down the middle, seventeen yard touchdown pass
- 32:32Speaker 6: by Seattle, and they now go up twenty three thirteen
- 32:38Speaker 6: early in the third over the Rams.
- 32:41Speaker 1: I heard that right here on nine three point three KJRFM.
- 32:44Speaker 1: We had the game for you. We'll have the Super
- 32:45Speaker 1: Bowl for you with Kevin Harlan on Westwood One coming
- 32:48Speaker 1: up here in thirteen days. Kevin Harlan's best in the business.
- 32:51Speaker 1: And even he had to take a double take look
- 32:53Speaker 1: down at the flip cart a couple of times. Jake Bobo, Okay, touchdown?
- 32:58Speaker 1: What happened there, Hugh? That wasn None of us had that.
- 33:01Speaker 1: I don't know what the odds were on Jake Bubble
- 33:04Speaker 1: anytime touchdown in the game, but they would have been
- 33:07Speaker 1: fairly high walkers. See what happened there?
- 33:09Speaker 7: Yeah, Well, first of all, I think he credited Derek Young.
- 33:13Speaker 7: This was the play right after he had the fumber cover.
- 33:15Speaker 7: He didn't try and scoop it up because he cannot advance,
- 33:18Speaker 7: so he just secured the you know, fell on it,
- 33:20Speaker 7: secured it. So that sets up first and ten at
- 33:24Speaker 7: the seventeen balls on the right hash And you know,
- 33:27Speaker 7: I frequently mentioned the hash because it's so pivotal to
- 33:31Speaker 7: you know, creating space. And with the ball on the
- 33:35Speaker 7: right hash, he got JSN as the exiver boundary side
- 33:39Speaker 7: the closest to the right because he has a relatively
- 33:44Speaker 7: tight split that had some type of auto trigger for
- 33:49Speaker 7: the RAMS to do what's called the cat blitz. And
- 33:52Speaker 7: so the cornerback number one, Emmanuel Forbes, he's going to
- 33:56Speaker 7: come off the edge and then the safety has to
- 34:00Speaker 7: come over the top to cloud him, and then the
- 34:03Speaker 7: other safety has to go over the top to to safety.
- 34:08Speaker 7: So they ultimately get into what's called a cloud alignment
- 34:13Speaker 7: where you have it's usually a corner, but in this case,
- 34:16Speaker 7: as I said, they exchange responsibilities, but you have a
- 34:19Speaker 7: corner in the flat and a safety over the top.
- 34:22Speaker 7: That's a form of double covering within zone. It's very
- 34:25Speaker 7: common with that X receiver. The single receiver exit is
- 34:29Speaker 7: just another way of saying saying the single receiver the
- 34:33Speaker 7: wider or the widest receiver to the weak side. So
- 34:37Speaker 7: now what's Bobo's How does he able to win? He
- 34:44Speaker 7: starts his alignment on the inside edge of the numbers,
- 34:48Speaker 7: top of the numbers, that's fourteen yards from the sideline.
- 34:52Speaker 7: But then he shifts right before the snap three or
- 34:57Speaker 7: four yards in. So now before they snapped, you're getting
- 35:01Speaker 7: the corner. In that case, Kobe Durant, he's now thinking, oh,
- 35:06Speaker 7: did did he reduce his split right before the ball
- 35:10Speaker 7: was snapped, so that he's creating more out space to
- 35:14Speaker 7: break out? And so just that little shift, now he
- 35:19Speaker 7: didn't go in motion, he got reset. But now you're
- 35:22Speaker 7: you're gatting just a little bit of an extra thought
- 35:25Speaker 7: for that corner. So now you've got free access. As
- 35:29Speaker 7: I said, the corner blitz is coming off the edge.
- 35:33Speaker 7: And by the way, Canine, beautiful job of the offensive line.
- 35:37Speaker 1: It was.
- 35:37Speaker 7: It was an odd front with a little bit of
- 35:39Speaker 7: a lean towards the nose tackle a little bit shaded
- 35:43Speaker 7: to the strong side. They leave in two tight ends
- 35:47Speaker 7: to Darnold's left. So this is just a two man route,
- 35:52Speaker 7: just a two man route. So Canine picks up the
- 35:54Speaker 7: corner blitz as if he knew it was coming. And
- 35:57Speaker 7: by the way, bad on Chris Shula, the defensive coordinator,
- 36:02Speaker 7: the corner that came off the edge. I was like,
- 36:05Speaker 7: oh my god, that is sharm and soft. If you're
- 36:08Speaker 7: gonna blitz, you don't bring something and blow up Canine,
- 36:12Speaker 7: like create something. So I'm but I'm looking at him.
- 36:15Speaker 7: He looks kind of wiry. I click on his his bio.
- 36:19Speaker 7: He's lifts at six foot mostly six', one but one
- 36:24Speaker 7: hundred and seventy three. Pounds that is. Key you got
- 36:28Speaker 7: one hundred and seventy three pound corner going Against, canine
- 36:32Speaker 7: And canine just it's, like you, know punching a straw,
- 36:35Speaker 7: man and so you get, great great blittz pick. Up
- 36:39Speaker 7: he got two tight ends on the, left so solid. Pocket,
- 36:43Speaker 7: ultimately there's a little bit of a leak because we
- 36:45Speaker 7: said that there was a pressure Between sundell and uh
- 36:50Speaker 7: and what a, Surprise. Bradford there ends up being a
- 36:52Speaker 7: little bit of leak, there but we'll we'll we'll ignore
- 36:56Speaker 7: that for a. Second let me just close On. Bobo So,
- 36:59Speaker 7: bobo as he reduced his, split now he's got he's in,
- 37:04Speaker 7: essense he's got cover zero on him because of how
- 37:09Speaker 7: they had rotated TO. Jsn what does cover zero mean?
- 37:12Speaker 7: Cover this is a very important. Point the corner on,
- 37:16Speaker 7: There Kobe bryant does not have help to the. Post
- 37:21Speaker 7: he's got an inway, break an outboy, break and you
- 37:25Speaker 7: try not to ever have this. Situation So bobo is
- 37:28Speaker 7: in the most advantageous position he could possibly be. In
- 37:32Speaker 7: he's got a reduced, split so he's a big time
- 37:35Speaker 7: threat to the corner. Route but the corner also doesn't
- 37:38Speaker 7: have any help to the. Post so when When bobo
- 37:42Speaker 7: leans out to go to the, corner then he crosses the.
- 37:45Speaker 7: Face it was a very similar route to what we
- 37:48Speaker 7: just described with WITH jsn on that that sting route
- 37:52Speaker 7: which was emanating from the. Slot but how you lean
- 37:55Speaker 7: on on the defender to the outside then break across
- 37:59Speaker 7: his face to the. Post there's a similarity. There so
- 38:02Speaker 7: SO i think that as A Clint kubiak was watching that,
- 38:06Speaker 7: unfold he, said all, right all, Right here comes the,
- 38:08Speaker 7: Cat here comes the. Cat there they're. Rolling let's just
- 38:11Speaker 7: make sure we let's pick up, yep nice, JOB k.
- 38:14Speaker 7: Nine this is all as the plays, unfolding he, goes he,
- 38:17Speaker 7: goes this is gonna be. Perfect and he was already
- 38:20Speaker 7: just you know What Clint kubiak. Was i'm saying when
- 38:22Speaker 7: donald hit his back FOOT P A T P A
- 38:26Speaker 7: t he was calling for The pat. Team it's like
- 38:30Speaker 7: like the play and and so Is mike. McDonald they
- 38:32Speaker 7: were just they were calling Out pat before the ball
- 38:35Speaker 7: even Left. Donaldson that's how well orchestrated the damn play
- 38:40Speaker 7: was before the ball was even let, go beautiful ball
- 38:44Speaker 7: placement he got.
- 38:45Speaker 1: Out Now bobo. Run you know he ran a four.
- 38:47Speaker 7: Nine there's we don't love everything About, bobo but we
- 38:50Speaker 7: love his, name and we love his, size and we
- 38:53Speaker 7: love how strong he is at the point of the
- 38:55Speaker 7: tack when he goes to uh to catch the football
- 38:57Speaker 7: in the red.
- 38:58Speaker 1: Zone so it all came.
- 38:59Speaker 7: Together just, YEAH P A T P A T A
- 39:03Speaker 7: T P A t, right uh was, college we'd be
- 39:07Speaker 7: that we the band director be playing the fight song
- 39:10Speaker 7: before the ball was.
- 39:12Speaker 1: Released i'm gonna save this for next. WEEK i want
- 39:17Speaker 1: to there's a play with Ken walker on the final. Drive,
- 39:21Speaker 1: uh the little the little pass short to him THAT
- 39:24Speaker 1: i want to get. To but we'll do that next.
- 39:25Speaker 1: Week we'll have the whole a whole day Next monday
- 39:27Speaker 1: to actually preview the. Game So i'm gonna ask you
- 39:29Speaker 1: a little bit more About canine in the passing. Game
- 39:32Speaker 1: and you, Know keith said what you. Said you, know
- 39:34Speaker 1: whether it's make sure he gets to the Super, bowl
- 39:37Speaker 1: make sure you save, him there's no. Charbonne let's let's you,
- 39:40Speaker 1: KNOW i THINK i think the the governor comes off
- 39:43Speaker 1: the training, wheels come like he's. Whatever he as many
- 39:45Speaker 1: touches you can get in In Santa clara probably is what.
- 39:48Speaker 1: Happens but we'll get to that next. Week you wanted
- 39:50Speaker 1: to comment on.
- 39:50Speaker 7: Requelling, oh, WELL I i, was, uh you, KNOW i
- 39:54Speaker 7: heard your your, comment AND i think we can have
- 39:58Speaker 7: two truths. Here number, one if we're just let's just
- 40:01Speaker 7: put the spotlight On greek. Walling, yep it was, selfish
- 40:04Speaker 7: it was. Idiotic there's no. Excuse it has to be.
- 40:08Speaker 7: Corrected like there there's no part of me that was absolving.
- 40:11Speaker 7: Him now let's take the spotlight off Of Rek wollan
- 40:14Speaker 7: and the. OFFICIAL a good official had two. Choices he
- 40:18Speaker 7: could stand there and watch what, unfolded in which, case you,
- 40:23Speaker 7: know it's it's a major, tawning AND i would understand
- 40:29Speaker 7: why he threw the. Flag, however that is not the
- 40:33Speaker 7: only option the official. HAD a good official he was,
- 40:37Speaker 7: watching he'd kind of warned him barely even he didn't
- 40:41Speaker 7: even walk with. Him, no he just kind of said be,
- 40:43Speaker 7: careing like Like i've seen the. Video he didn't even
- 40:46Speaker 7: walk with. Them he saw he he grabbed a pint of,
- 40:50Speaker 7: popcorn and he just watched everything. UNFOLD a good official
- 40:55Speaker 7: would have, said, okay this is not good and and
- 40:59Speaker 7: and what he should have done is, got you, know hustled,
- 41:02Speaker 7: over got in front Of riek gott in chest to,
- 41:05Speaker 7: chest put his hands on his shoulders and and said you're.
- 41:09Speaker 1: Punning you're. Punning do not make me drop this. Flag
- 41:13Speaker 1: if you don't shut up one, Second i'm dropping this.
- 41:16Speaker 1: Flag you're. Punning that's what officials. Do good.
- 41:21Speaker 7: Officials they get in and and and they touch and
- 41:24Speaker 7: they and they just they just say look and they
- 41:28Speaker 7: and it's it should have been his goal to avert.
- 41:31Speaker 7: That you can, say there's a responsibility for. Reek there's
- 41:35Speaker 7: also a responsibility for. Physicals you know what they do
- 41:38Speaker 7: that by the, thousands by the. Thousands do you remember
- 41:41Speaker 7: WHEN jsn found himself on the bench against The Houston
- 41:43Speaker 7: texans in that weird scrum and the official came over
- 41:47Speaker 7: and put his whole body yep OVER. Jsn why instinctively,
- 41:51Speaker 7: LIKE i want to diffuse this situation that official on
- 41:55Speaker 7: fourth and twelve with a quarter to go to earn
- 41:58Speaker 7: a right to The Super. Bowl you do not not
- 42:00Speaker 7: want to bail out any.
- 42:03Speaker 1: Team, SEE i. FORGET i think we're on the SAME
- 42:05Speaker 1: i think we're the. SAME i just don't like just,
- 42:08Speaker 1: like don't do, it don't do. It i'm one hundred
- 42:11Speaker 1: percent with you on. That AND i think WHAT i said,
- 42:12Speaker 1: earlier and IF i didn't articulate it, correctly then that's my.
- 42:15Speaker 1: FAULT i think in an official, situation this wasn't The
- 42:20Speaker 1: saints pass interference whatever you know years, ago where there
- 42:23Speaker 1: has to be a flag that. There there. Doesn't as
- 42:26Speaker 1: you just, Said, hugh there does not have to be
- 42:29Speaker 1: a flag. There and if you you, know we've all
- 42:31Speaker 1: watched the, Tape we've watched different. Angles he's chirping staffer's,
- 42:36Speaker 1: chirping the two assistant coaches are, chirping everyone's, chirping And
- 42:40Speaker 1: i'm with, you walk over, there get Get. RecA, NOW
- 42:43Speaker 1: i could also say with The, seahawks, hey someone go
- 42:46Speaker 1: grab him and get his ass out of, there you,
- 42:48Speaker 1: know like in all those like there's a lot of,
- 42:50Speaker 1: things but you don't have to throw the flag that
- 42:52Speaker 1: could determine who's going to the Super bowl on a
- 42:55Speaker 1: very subjective. Play it's not like it was a whole a,
- 43:00Speaker 1: tackle a pass, interference you, know a trip on a
- 43:03Speaker 1: guy returning a kick or whatever it. Is and SO
- 43:05Speaker 1: i think that there were two Wrongs greek, wrong official,
- 43:09Speaker 1: wrong but the official by letter of the law was.
- 43:12Speaker 1: Correct and throwing the. FLAG i JUST i just didn't
- 43:15Speaker 1: like any part of. It And i'm, LIKE i didn't
- 43:16Speaker 1: like the fact That Kobe turner was in McDonald's face
- 43:18Speaker 1: in the first. Quarter you, KNOW i like that at,
- 43:20Speaker 1: all you, know and nothing happened with. That it just
- 43:22Speaker 1: it's you've been on the sideline in THE nfl. GAME
- 43:25Speaker 1: i there's a lot of stuff being, said how often
- 43:28Speaker 1: could you throw a? Flag you, Yeah and that's what
- 43:31Speaker 1: a good official.
- 43:32Speaker 7: Does i've been And i've sat in on officiators room
- 43:35Speaker 7: and they talk about. This the officials job was to
- 43:40Speaker 7: officiate that game to the best of his, ability as
- 43:43Speaker 7: and and his he was able to intervene in ways
- 43:48Speaker 7: that officials do by the hundreds and by the. Thousands
- 43:51Speaker 7: i'm not asking him to reinvent the wheel on how
- 43:54Speaker 7: to officiate this.
- 43:55Speaker 1: Had What i'm describing happens all the. TIME i just
- 43:58Speaker 1: gave you.
- 43:58Speaker 7: Example in The houston another uh hild the first play
- 44:02Speaker 7: of the. GAME i Think softie's got a story about
- 44:04Speaker 7: the first play of the. GAME i, mean this happens
- 44:06Speaker 7: All I've i've been on the field When i've seen, It,
- 44:08Speaker 7: like that's what good officials. Do they try and they
- 44:12Speaker 7: don't want.
- 44:14Speaker 1: To throw a fifteen yard. FLAG i, mean that's that's
- 44:18Speaker 1: my fault or all. Good, anyway you got more four
- 44:21Speaker 1: coming up today With. SOFTIE i do, believe so we'll do.

- 46:20Speaker 11: than that WHEN thex.
- 46:21Speaker 1: Started so pretty. GOOD i was just thinking, that especially
- 46:24Speaker 1: because the four have happened in the last what twenty years? Exactly,
- 46:27Speaker 1: yeah twenty years. Exactly, Yeah so it's it's a really good.
- 46:30Speaker 1: RATIO a on the way and who we all know
- 46:33Speaker 1: the baseball team hasn't made to The World, series and
- 46:36Speaker 1: hopefully that'll change this. Year they came close last. Year
- 46:39Speaker 1: top of your, Head mike is it's who hasn't been
- 46:41Speaker 1: to The Super bowl in THE, nfl do we? Know
- 46:43Speaker 1: i'll Talk, houston, Right, Houston.
- 46:46Speaker 11: Houston texans have not been. There they came in the
- 46:48Speaker 11: league in two thousand and.
- 46:49Speaker 1: Two browns haven't been since in the ccon, Area, yeah
- 46:54Speaker 1: Super bowl, Area, yes Super it's a short list of.
- 46:56Speaker 11: Teams very want to Spend, NO i don't want to
- 46:58Speaker 11: spend all of our time on.
- 46:59Speaker 1: That But Brown, jaguars is? It, Browns, Lions? Jags, Right,
- 47:06Speaker 1: Texans texans and The lions and The browns obviously have
- 47:10Speaker 1: had a lot longer kick at The canada that so
- 47:11Speaker 1: you get to. Four it is a it's a nice
- 47:13Speaker 1: little elite company That seattle is in and they'll take
- 47:16Speaker 1: On New. England Just Mike sandels thoughts on we'll talk
- 47:19Speaker 1: about THE nfc. First THE nfc game yesterday With seattle
- 47:22Speaker 1: and The, Rams, WELL i thought The seaws would.
- 47:25Speaker 11: WIN i just surely didn't think it was going to
- 47:27Speaker 11: be that way that they would win. IT i, mean
- 47:30Speaker 11: holding on for your life on, DEFENSE i Thought mike
- 47:32Speaker 11: McDonald would, have you, know the adjustment this, time but
- 47:35Speaker 11: he got out adjusted By sean McVay AND i think
- 47:38Speaker 11: he talked about that after the. Game so now it's
- 47:41Speaker 11: all the pressures On Sam donald to throw the, ball
- 47:43Speaker 11: AND i thought he did a great. Job, obviously the
- 47:46Speaker 11: special teams play was, big and you knew there'd be,
- 47:48Speaker 11: one probably one in the game that helped turn, things
- 47:52Speaker 11: just because the rams are so bad and Special team's
- 47:54Speaker 11: hills so. Good BUT i think it was a, great
- 47:57Speaker 11: really a great team victory and really good for the.
- 48:02Speaker 11: QUARTERBACK i think it just you, know there's a it
- 48:05Speaker 11: takes an edge off of the two weeks of.
- 48:09Speaker 1: Questioning of what the angle. Is it's going to be
- 48:11Speaker 1: a little bit more of a.
- 48:13Speaker 11: Celebratory or almost positive type of stories instead of questioning type.
- 48:20Speaker 1: STORIES i don't know that.
- 48:21Speaker 11: That changes what happens in the, game BUT i think
- 48:23Speaker 11: it makes the two weeks more enjoyable for.
- 48:25Speaker 1: People do you think this eliminated like you're kind of insinuating.
- 48:29Speaker 1: That do you think this kind of eliminates The Sam
- 48:31Speaker 1: darnold can't win big games whatever or whatever the whatever
- 48:35Speaker 1: the thing was attached to him since last.
- 48:37Speaker 11: Year, yeah it, does because even if he has a
- 48:39Speaker 11: Bad Super, bowl he had this game, still, RIGHT i,
- 48:42Speaker 11: mean anybody could have a Bad Super, Bowl so you,
- 48:43Speaker 11: know you hope it doesn't, happen but.
- 48:47Speaker 1: You, KNOW i think this does a lot for. Him
- 48:50Speaker 1: you had a stat AND i thought it was. Interesting
- 48:52Speaker 1: we talked about this with you just in the last
- 48:54Speaker 1: segment a little. Bit it's. Amazing so all three touchdown
- 48:57Speaker 1: passes he was pressured on and took a, hit, Right,
- 48:59Speaker 1: like that doesn't that's just that's very not Norm.
- 49:02Speaker 11: I'm standing in there taking hits and delivering the ball
- 49:05Speaker 11: with good.
- 49:06Speaker 1: Throws was.
- 49:08Speaker 11: To, me, like that's what the Team you, know when
- 49:12Speaker 11: your linebacker gets up during the season and, says you,
- 49:15Speaker 11: know he's our. Guy in other, words, right, yep like
- 49:21Speaker 11: a showing. Day yes said this Is these are the
- 49:24Speaker 11: types of plays that validated in ways that the rest
- 49:26Speaker 11: of us can.
- 49:27Speaker 1: See because all those guys on the team know.
- 49:29Speaker 11: Him they know howbod he, prepares they know what he's
- 49:31Speaker 11: like in, practice they know what type.
- 49:32Speaker 1: Of guy he, is.
- 49:35Speaker 11: And you, know we just really see the. Games so
- 49:38Speaker 11: to see that on that stage and and see it
- 49:41Speaker 11: to be exactly what the teammates said about, him to,
- 49:45Speaker 11: me there's an alignment now there that we can buy
- 49:48Speaker 11: into easier than we could WHEN i think people were
- 49:51Speaker 11: a little bit nervous when he you, know had to
- 49:52Speaker 11: throw the.
- 49:53Speaker 1: Ball, Mike Mike sandel join us from The. Athletic His
- 49:56Speaker 1: pick six column is up on the front page Of
- 49:58Speaker 1: The athletic right now and go check it. Out mike
- 50:00Speaker 1: Went and for those who don't, Know mike does every
- 50:02Speaker 1: year my favorite thing that you, do AND i know
- 50:04Speaker 1: you put a zillion hours into it as the quarterback tier,
- 50:06Speaker 1: system and you spend a lot of time talking to
- 50:09Speaker 1: coaches and executives around THE. Nfl just off top of your, Head,
- 50:13Speaker 1: mike what has been you, know especially even heading into this,
- 50:18Speaker 1: year what has been the narrative and what you hear
- 50:22Speaker 1: from guys around the, league coaches and executives About Sam.
- 50:25Speaker 11: Darnold, WELL i, think you, know, historically some of the
- 50:28Speaker 11: decision making, was you, know an issue for. HIM i
- 50:31Speaker 11: think everybody has liked his athleticism and his ability to
- 50:34Speaker 11: throw the, ball but he just you, know didn't really
- 50:37Speaker 11: put it all together in terms of how he. Played
- 50:40Speaker 11: AND i think some of that was, Situationally but people
- 50:43Speaker 11: have been optimistic on him here increasingly since he was with.
- 50:47Speaker 1: The forty nine.
- 50:48Speaker 11: ERS i REMEMBER i Remember Randy, meeler you, know when
- 50:50Speaker 11: he AND i did to do the podcast and he
- 50:52Speaker 11: used to come on the. Show like when he got
- 50:55Speaker 11: picked up in free agency By, minnesota he, was you,
- 50:58Speaker 11: know he was, like, hey this guy's going to have a.
- 51:00Speaker 11: Bible he looks like a different. Guy, so you, know
- 51:02Speaker 11: people who had paid attention to him In San francisco were,
- 51:05Speaker 11: like even liked him coming, out always thought he had good,
- 51:08Speaker 11: ability but we just hadn't really seen him in a
- 51:11Speaker 11: in a good. SITUATION i think he's been in really
- 51:14Speaker 11: good ones here now AND i, think you, know people
- 51:17Speaker 11: gave him his due to an extent last. YEAR i
- 51:21Speaker 11: think he was probably he was in tier, three which,
- 51:23Speaker 11: is you, know you can win with this, guy but
- 51:24Speaker 11: you don't want him throwing all the. TIME i think
- 51:26Speaker 11: that's what we. Felt he can win with this.
- 51:28Speaker 1: Guy you, know but you don't want him thrown a.
- 51:30Speaker 11: Lot AND i don't know that they still want him
- 51:32Speaker 11: throwing a, lot but he showed in this. Game you,
- 51:34Speaker 11: KNOW i think for sure he's you, know probably going
- 51:39Speaker 11: to move into the second, tier, RIGHT i, mean would
- 51:41Speaker 11: you say. THAT i don't know who we compare him.
- 51:44Speaker 11: TO i don't want to put a limit or on
- 51:46Speaker 11: what he can, be but you, know he went from
- 51:49Speaker 11: maybe being perceived as below what Kirk cousins was at
- 51:54Speaker 11: his best to maybe being in that category with now
- 51:57Speaker 11: the big game stuff that Kirk cousins didn't really.
- 52:00Speaker 1: Had, YEAH i mean to, win and you, know the
- 52:02Speaker 1: big game, yesterday and if they would have fallen, short
- 52:05Speaker 1: more than likely would have been because of the, defense
- 52:07Speaker 1: which we'll get to in a, second not because Of Sam,
- 52:08Speaker 1: darnold but he had the win last week against the
- 52:11Speaker 1: forty nine. Ers we didn't have to do as much,
- 52:13Speaker 1: obviously but now now here he is and we'll get
- 52:17Speaker 1: to we'll get to the matchup and a little bit
- 52:19Speaker 1: more With New england in a. Second let me, GO
- 52:22Speaker 1: i was doing a thing this morning with my buddies
- 52:24Speaker 1: down In. Portland you'll be happy to know they read
- 52:27Speaker 1: the pick six column because they brought up BEFORE i
- 52:29Speaker 1: could even read the, story the historic nature of what
- 52:33Speaker 1: that win was with What seattle's defense didn't, do And
- 52:37Speaker 1: i'll let you kind of take it from. All you
- 52:39Speaker 1: take it from, there because this has never happened. Before,
- 52:42Speaker 1: right What seattle's defense did in terms of ITS epa
- 52:46Speaker 1: per play on defense and still coming up a. Win,
- 52:49Speaker 1: Yeah so think of.
- 52:49Speaker 11: This so this century would be twenty six years if
- 52:53Speaker 11: you count two thousand plus you, know twenty five, years right,
- 52:57Speaker 11: yep on top of, That so there's been then twenty
- 53:00Speaker 11: six times two is fifty two times somebody has won
- 53:05Speaker 11: a conference championship game in THE afc OR, nfc, right
- 53:07Speaker 11: there's fifty two of, those and the last two that
- 53:10Speaker 11: won Were seattle And New. England and so if we
- 53:14Speaker 11: look at their defensive performance in those games one to
- 53:17Speaker 11: fifty two and measure it BY epa per, play which
- 53:19Speaker 11: is a good way to measure, It, seattle among Those
- 53:23Speaker 11: citty two, winners was fifty second in that game out
- 53:26Speaker 11: of the fifty.
- 53:27Speaker 1: Two so if you had.
- 53:28Speaker 11: Told you, KNOW i, mean that's, unbelievable you, know for
- 53:33Speaker 11: such a good defense that's playing a familiar opponent and shows,
- 53:38Speaker 11: that you, know it's you're not likely to probably win
- 53:41Speaker 11: a game like. That but They're the thing About seattle
- 53:44Speaker 11: IS i think that you, know YOU i would have
- 53:46Speaker 11: said they're the more complete.
- 53:46Speaker 1: Team that's the craziest thing is they won without their
- 53:50Speaker 1: best like they were their best thing being the. Worst,
- 53:53Speaker 1: yeah their best thing being their defense being the worst
- 53:55Speaker 1: thing in the, game and they still able to come
- 53:57Speaker 1: up with a. Win it's just it's, remarkable and it's
- 54:00Speaker 1: just to, me it feels like it's McVeigh and he's
- 54:03Speaker 1: kind of that, kryptonite, Right like he's able to somewhat
- 54:06Speaker 1: solve this defense where most most anybody else outside of
- 54:09Speaker 1: the little blip on the radar screen that Was tampa
- 54:12Speaker 1: this year And Baker mayfield back In, OCTOBER i guess
- 54:15Speaker 1: it was outside of, that no one's been able to
- 54:17Speaker 1: solve this defense except for. McVeigh and, oh by the,
- 54:20Speaker 1: Way Matt stafford is probably THE mvp right like it's
- 54:22Speaker 1: and maybe that's McVeigh And stafford combination is a big
- 54:25Speaker 1: part of. It, yeah for.
- 54:26Speaker 11: SURE i don't think, that you, KNOW i don't think
- 54:29Speaker 11: any coach is so good that without good players they
- 54:32Speaker 11: just have the, edge. Right, NO i think there's a
- 54:36Speaker 11: huge part, of you, know having the right players in
- 54:39Speaker 11: place to be able to do the things you want
- 54:41Speaker 11: to do as a.
- 54:41Speaker 1: Coach, well didn't we see that in THE afc. YESTERDAY
- 54:43Speaker 1: I mean it's Like Sean payton can say all the
- 54:46Speaker 1: nice things he wants About Jared, stidham that's, fine but
- 54:49Speaker 1: there's a Reason Jared sidham hasn't taken a snap in
- 54:51Speaker 1: three years in THE.
- 54:52Speaker 11: Nfl, yeah, yeah and it really hurt him yesterday because
- 54:54Speaker 11: they needed someone who could. Scramble that's What Drake may.
- 54:56Speaker 11: Did there's the only thing he could really do on.
- 54:58Speaker 11: Offense SO i do think That stafford does not limit
- 55:03Speaker 11: a coup play caller in any way unless you you
- 55:06Speaker 11: usually don't do the quarterback run stuff unless you have,
- 55:09Speaker 11: to or the guys just super amazing at. Running so
- 55:13Speaker 11: from a pass offense and traditional offense, standpoint you can
- 55:17Speaker 11: do anything you ever wanted to do with With Matt,
- 55:21Speaker 11: stafford AND i think that McVeigh has taken great advantage of.
- 55:24Speaker 1: That after yesterday And Sam donald's, performance what do you
- 55:27Speaker 1: think is happening In minnesota? Today?
- 55:29Speaker 11: Oh, MAN i think IT'S i think it's a real
- 55:32Speaker 11: tough spot for. THEM i was thinking this too, yesterday
- 55:35Speaker 11: like if The ravens haven't moved, ON i hadn't moved
- 55:37Speaker 11: on From John, harbaugh like you, know Watching mike McDonald
- 55:41Speaker 11: go to The Super, bowl, right they kind of got
- 55:43Speaker 11: Their mike McDonald too With Jesse, minter who you, know
- 55:46Speaker 11: the same sort of roots and. Background so, YEAH i
- 55:49Speaker 11: think IT'S i think it's really. TOUGH i feel like
- 55:52Speaker 11: especially If, sam you, know wins The Super, bowl but
- 55:54Speaker 11: even just going to The Super, Bowl i'd be curious
- 55:56Speaker 11: to see what they do at that.
- 55:57Speaker 1: Position can you really just run it? Back? No but
- 56:02Speaker 1: NO i don't think you. Can but, uh let me
- 56:06Speaker 1: get MY i want to get to this real. Quick
- 56:07Speaker 1: SO i thought it was really. Interesting we live in
- 56:10Speaker 1: a day and, age and let's just go back to
- 56:12Speaker 1: two years ago this, time like two years, ago right around,
- 56:15Speaker 1: NOW i think this week or. So it was probably
- 56:17Speaker 1: right around conference championship weekend when The seahawks Announced mike
- 56:20Speaker 1: McDonald's their head, coach And pete had got let go
- 56:23Speaker 1: and they bring In mike McDonald and that was different
- 56:26Speaker 1: because for the most, part right people were, angling teams
- 56:30Speaker 1: were angling towards offensive minded head coaches around the, league
- 56:34Speaker 1: And Ben johnson was the, name and, they you, Know
- 56:36Speaker 1: Ben johnson said one more year In detroit and going
- 56:38Speaker 1: To chicago this year, obviously but you know it's it's
- 56:41Speaker 1: they go to the defensive mind to head. Coach you
- 56:43Speaker 1: wrote about it. Today how often is a defensive head
- 56:46Speaker 1: coach A Super bowl champion who, also this is really,
- 56:49Speaker 1: crazy calls his own? Plays does that ever? Happen never
- 56:52Speaker 1: ever happened that they've won.
- 56:54Speaker 3: It.
- 56:54Speaker 1: Wow SO i was shocked by that.
- 56:56Speaker 11: Because, uh one of the guys THAT i worked with was, like,
- 56:59Speaker 11: hey you, know when's the last time this. HAPPENED i
- 57:02Speaker 11: think it's been a. While AND i was, LIKE i
- 57:04Speaker 11: Figured belichick had, called but you, know obviously he was
- 57:07Speaker 11: in charge of the team and what they were doing on,
- 57:10Speaker 11: defense but.
- 57:10Speaker 1: He wasn't the. Caller and SO i actually spent a few.
- 57:12Speaker 1: Days it was.
- 57:13Speaker 11: FUNNY i talked to guys who were on The patriots
- 57:14Speaker 11: staff or guys on other, staffs you, know and figured
- 57:19Speaker 11: it all, out and it's.
- 57:21Speaker 1: Crazy isn't that? Crazy so the last defensive head coach
- 57:23Speaker 1: to win it Was Bill belichick in twenty? Eighteen is that?
- 57:25Speaker 1: Right and Then Brian flores called the plays, Pete, yes.
- 57:29Speaker 1: Pete in twenty, Thirteen Dan quinn called the plays. Yeah
- 57:33Speaker 1: but then, offensively that happens, often, Right we're an offensive
- 57:37Speaker 1: minded head coach calls the offensive. Place How Andy? Reid
- 57:40Speaker 1: you Know Andy?
- 57:41Speaker 11: Reids, yeah, Yea Andy reid's done. It you, know Obviously
- 57:43Speaker 11: sean mcvace done. It, yes a lot, more it's a
- 57:47Speaker 11: lot more common for that to. HAPPEN i THINK i
- 57:50Speaker 11: think somewhat guys who coach on, OFFENSE i think that
- 57:57Speaker 11: they love the play calling part of it more than
- 58:01Speaker 11: guys on defense love the play calling part of. IT
- 58:04Speaker 11: i think more defensive coaches are a little bit more
- 58:06Speaker 11: bigger picture and just kind of have everything fits, together
- 58:10Speaker 11: and the offensive guys want to go drive the race. Car,
- 58:14Speaker 11: yes that's what it feels like to. Me and so
- 58:16Speaker 11: sometimes you with the offensive, guys you, know LIKE i.
- 58:19Speaker 1: Think sean McVay has done.
- 58:20Speaker 11: This it was funny somebody put together something today saying
- 58:23Speaker 11: like the worst statistical special teams units in the twenty
- 58:26Speaker 11: twenties are Are Kyle shannan's teams And sean mcvay's teams
- 58:32Speaker 11: and Matt lefluur's, teams and these guys all came from
- 58:34Speaker 11: the same you know staff. Before BUT i think there
- 58:37Speaker 11: is a you, know a term that's kind of, popular
- 58:40Speaker 11: like over indexing on the offensive, part, right and almost
- 58:45Speaker 11: like you don't even want to play special teams and
- 58:47Speaker 11: these other components of the. Team AND i think that's
- 58:50Speaker 11: the potential downside of having someone who's so excited to
- 58:54Speaker 11: call the plays Like sean McVay almost sound didn't sound
- 58:58Speaker 11: as a straw after the game, yesterday like his offense played,
- 59:00Speaker 11: well he was kind of.
- 59:01Speaker 1: Excited do you feel? That, Yeah And i'm want to go.
- 59:05Speaker 1: Back you said it's interesting with play calling you get
- 59:07Speaker 1: excited about calling offensive. PLAYS i, MEAN i think you
- 59:10Speaker 1: could make it a pretty strong. ARGUMENT i, mean hindsight's
- 59:12Speaker 1: twenty twenty that they take a field goal on that
- 59:15Speaker 1: drive that lasted like eighteen days and ends up with
- 59:20Speaker 1: the fourth down in completion in the end zone That
- 59:22Speaker 1: witherspoon knocks. Away they take a field goal, there one point.
- 59:25Speaker 1: Game it's an entirely different series Facing seattle knowing that
- 59:29Speaker 1: they cannot give the ball up with a short field
- 59:33Speaker 1: and the potential for a game winning field. Goal but
- 59:35Speaker 1: he was so hell bent, on you, know pushing it
- 59:37Speaker 1: in the end, zone, Right and that kind of what you,
- 59:39Speaker 1: said that kind of goes what you say about offensive
- 59:41Speaker 1: play callers special. Teams i'm not worried about the. KICKER
- 59:44Speaker 1: i want to get in the end, zone.
- 59:45Speaker 11: Right Sean payton yesterday, too got curtisized Going sean exactly,
- 59:49Speaker 11: exactly you, know going forward in that situation when by
- 59:51Speaker 11: a lot of times the defensive guys you're Wishing Kyle
- 59:54Speaker 11: Pete carroll play, offense you, know as long as it's
- 59:56Speaker 11: the extreme eater way and you, know like you're in
- 59:58Speaker 11: the happy meeting him of. That so, YEAH i, LIKE
- 1:00:03Speaker 11: i don't have a problem going for it, though down
- 1:00:06Speaker 11: four kicking a field goal in the final five minutes
- 1:00:07Speaker 11: of the, game When seattle's converting on third, DOWN i you,
- 1:00:11Speaker 11: KNOW i get.
- 1:00:12Speaker 1: It yeah it. Was it.
- 1:00:15Speaker 3: Was.
- 1:00:15Speaker 1: YEAH i THINK i thinks hindsight twenty twenty about both
- 1:00:17Speaker 1: beast go both. Ways by the, way we have a
- 1:00:19Speaker 1: guy On wednesdays on our show Name, holgrin and he
- 1:00:21Speaker 1: always says the same thing is he, goes, NO i
- 1:00:23Speaker 1: want to call the. Plays that's my. Fun that's that's
- 1:00:25Speaker 1: the FUN i get to have as a head. Coach
- 1:00:26Speaker 1: Mike holmgren was totally full of. It every year he'd, be,
- 1:00:29Speaker 1: yeah you, Know i'm thinking about maybe handing over. It
- 1:00:31Speaker 1: gill call the place this, year this complete.
- 1:00:34Speaker 11: Ball i'm standing there with my hand pinching my cheeks
- 1:00:39Speaker 11: together SO i don't laugh right into.
- 1:00:41Speaker 1: Space oh that's so. Good. Yeah, WELL i MEAN i
- 1:00:45Speaker 1: think when when McDonald was, HIRED i remember sitting in
- 1:00:47Speaker 1: the press, conference he, Said i'm gonna call plays on.
- 1:00:49Speaker 1: Defense BUT i may give that up at some. POINT
- 1:00:50Speaker 1: i don't think he's giving. UP i, don't you. Know
- 1:00:52Speaker 1: it doesn't feel like he's giving up anytime. Soon so
- 1:00:54Speaker 1: gotta be. Historic so the first defensive play caller to
- 1:00:56Speaker 1: win A Super bowl could Be mike. McDonald's so, yeah all,
- 1:00:59Speaker 1: Right well we'll talk about that next. Week we'll we'll

- 1:07:50Speaker 3: from the rules, PERSPECTIVE i hate the rule that you can't.
- 1:07:53Speaker 1: TALK i think it should like as long as it's
- 1:07:56Speaker 1: not absolutely agree what's? Taunting what? IS i think very Subjective.
- 1:08:04Speaker 16: In certain sports and in certain, situations certain vocabulary gets
- 1:08:09Speaker 16: brought into.
- 1:08:09Speaker 1: Question, okay but but there's like if you get demonstrative
- 1:08:12Speaker 1: and like like you spin a ball in the direction
- 1:08:15Speaker 1: of the, opponent that's the. Thing it's in the direction
- 1:08:17Speaker 1: of the if he goes to his teammates and starts
- 1:08:19Speaker 1: doing that on the first long catch he. Had, cool you're,
- 1:08:22Speaker 1: right you did exactly that at The seattle. Bench didn't
- 1:08:26Speaker 1: stare at the seattle? Bench is that not a? Penalty
- 1:08:29Speaker 1: it should? Be, SEE i don't.
