- 0:55Speaker 3: Buggy.
- 0:55Speaker 4: Look how good coach looks like?
- 0:57Speaker 3: Got his hoodie on?
- 0:58Speaker 5: You know, yeah, yeah, normally way to get normally He's
- 1:02Speaker 5: got like a kind of a dressies shirt on. It's
- 1:05Speaker 5: kind of a little more comfort today. But it looked
- 1:07Speaker 5: good in that hoodie. I'll tell you that, you know.
- 1:09Speaker 6: Thank you very much. It's been a long time since
- 1:11Speaker 6: I've seen you.
- 1:12Speaker 3: Guys.
- 1:12Speaker 6: It's nice to see you in person. Yeah, I enjoyed.
- 1:15Speaker 6: I enjoy hearing you on the radio and talking over
- 1:17Speaker 6: the phone. Yeah, but I'm glad to be here. Good
- 1:20Speaker 6: to see you, especially when it gets a haircut for you. Yeah,
- 1:25Speaker 6: you know, he came in and shake my hand. I said,
- 1:28Speaker 6: and you, who are you again?
- 1:29Speaker 3: Yeah? Right?
- 1:30Speaker 6: You know your beard has I knew you right away. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
- 1:34Speaker 6: although I did trim it up for you. It's trim.
- 1:37Speaker 3: It is trim. I was just a little more homeless
- 1:39Speaker 3: last week. Yeah.
- 1:40Speaker 2: Yeah, Well, good to have you with us. And we
- 1:43Speaker 2: have another blowout to talk about for a second consecutive week.
- 1:46Speaker 2: It's not supposed to look this easy, not in the
- 1:49Speaker 2: National Football League. I mean, if that happens, you know,
- 1:51Speaker 2: in the the big ten Ohio State versus Maryland, you
- 1:56Speaker 2: know we might see a blowout like this. It's not
- 1:58Speaker 2: supposed to be this easy in the new National Football League.
- 2:01Speaker 2: And yet back to back weeks of sheer dominance.
- 2:04Speaker 6: Coach, Yeah, I mean they're really playing well, and you know,
- 2:08Speaker 6: I would say this just qualified just a little bit.
- 2:13Speaker 6: They had a great game, but Arizona they've got a
- 2:16Speaker 6: lot of work to do, you know, just like Washington,
- 2:19Speaker 6: who they won to meet the week before. But it
- 2:25Speaker 6: was it was a blowout. You know, I'm in the
- 2:28Speaker 6: office looking at it. Kathy came in, what's the score?
- 2:32Speaker 6: Because it was only halftime. It's thirty eight to sept
- 2:35Speaker 6: She was what, you know, I mean, it was it
- 2:39Speaker 6: was over early. And and hats off to Mike McDonald
- 2:44Speaker 6: and how he's getting them playing and the other of
- 2:46Speaker 6: the other thing. I just want to say one other
- 2:47Speaker 6: thing he they did. They had some key guys hurt.
- 2:52Speaker 6: You know, they have injury situations, particularly on defense. But
- 2:56Speaker 6: the defense they the next guy and they talk about
- 2:59Speaker 6: the next steps up. And that's what exactly what's happened.
- 3:03Speaker 3: You know.
- 3:04Speaker 6: Travis Knight at linebacker, Oh my goodness, what a game
- 3:07Speaker 6: he had, you know, And I mean that's I give
- 3:09Speaker 6: credit to Mike McDonald for that.
- 3:12Speaker 4: Let's let's talk about that in a little bit greater depth.
- 3:15Speaker 4: What as coach to coach? What impresses you about that?
- 3:21Speaker 4: I mean, you know, you know, Tyo Cotta Drake Thomas.
- 3:24Speaker 4: As you know, it seems like those guys are assimilating
- 3:28Speaker 4: in and and you know, playing fast and the recognition
- 3:33Speaker 4: and what have you. Mike, but maybe just talk from
- 3:35Speaker 4: a coach's perspective about the challenge of having those guys
- 3:39Speaker 4: and as you said, there's no drop off.
- 3:41Speaker 6: Yeah, I think you excuse me. The I always if
- 3:47Speaker 6: that happened when I was coaching, and I would reference
- 3:51Speaker 6: the offense more than a defense. If you lose, you know,
- 3:55Speaker 6: your quarterback, that has a dramatic effect. I mean, you
- 4:00Speaker 6: say what you want to and you want your next guy.
- 4:01Speaker 6: They talk about the next guy steps up. It's not
- 4:04Speaker 6: the same. And so when they can do what they
- 4:08Speaker 6: did on defense, Mike's a defense. That's where his emphasis
- 4:12Speaker 6: is on defense, particularly replacing guys like Love, you know,
- 4:17Speaker 6: who was very very key to them.
- 4:19Speaker 3: You know.
- 4:19Speaker 6: Then it says that in practice and how they how
- 4:25Speaker 6: the young guys deal with it, the focus, how the
- 4:28Speaker 6: coaches are getting them to think, it's not just competition talk.
- 4:32Speaker 6: We're we're not We're not sitting up just talking about competition.
- 4:36Speaker 6: You've got to be ready to play, and they they
- 4:39Speaker 6: are ready, and you don't see that. You don't see
- 4:42Speaker 6: that very often. Honestly, when you have injuries like that
- 4:45Speaker 6: to a team, you know, they usually don't play. They
- 4:48Speaker 6: can't play at the same level. Yesterday's defense did that.
- 4:52Speaker 6: They played at a really high level.
- 4:55Speaker 5: You being a kind of an offensive minded guru that
- 4:58Speaker 5: could come up with stuff. I'm sure you're you created
- 5:01Speaker 5: a lot of headaches for opposing defensive coordinators or even defensive.
- 5:04Speaker 3: Minded head coaches.
- 5:06Speaker 5: And yet Hugh kind of was breaking down a couple
- 5:08Speaker 5: of blitz plays that apparently Greg had written a story
- 5:11Speaker 5: earlier about or last night, possibly about there was a
- 5:15Speaker 5: couple of blitzes. The two that turned into those sacks,
- 5:18Speaker 5: scoop and scores were things that they hadn't seen before.
- 5:22Speaker 5: And so when you're watching his defense go up against
- 5:26Speaker 5: whichever offense it's it is, is it one of those
- 5:28Speaker 5: where you reflect back to, oh man, these are those
- 5:31Speaker 5: type of coaches that created headaches for me as an
- 5:34Speaker 5: opposing head coach.
- 5:35Speaker 6: Yeah, you know what, Yes, to answer your question, Buck, Yeah,
- 5:39Speaker 6: you'd see that and you go I miss that, or
- 5:43Speaker 6: but then then the players listen, you studying the film,
- 5:48Speaker 6: you see something new. But I listened to Hugh's explanation
- 5:51Speaker 6: a little bit on that blitz. He lost me in
- 5:55Speaker 6: the first three minutes, by the way, and talking how
- 5:58Speaker 6: how it all went. But no, but I you know
- 6:01Speaker 6: how a quarterback has to send the line. If every
- 6:05Speaker 6: I would say this, if every offensive player does what
- 6:09Speaker 6: he's supposed to do, you shouldn't have a guy come clean.
- 6:15Speaker 6: There might be some guy on the outside come clean
- 6:18Speaker 6: because they have you're outnumbered. But if they break down
- 6:22Speaker 6: like they did, there are mistakes happening on the offensive line.
- 6:26Speaker 6: So yeah, you know, someone might catch you off guard.
- 6:29Speaker 6: But then the quarterback has to throw it quickly somewhere
- 6:31Speaker 6: he knows where the problem is. Then he has to
- 6:33Speaker 6: see it. You had to have a hot receiver available,
- 6:36Speaker 6: and they didn't do that yesterday, and so no, but
- 6:40Speaker 6: it you know, he creates stuff. I remember going against
- 6:43Speaker 6: Buddy Ryan and the Giants, the New York Giants when
- 6:47Speaker 6: they have Lawrence Jelly and those guys, and you just
- 6:49Speaker 6: knew a Reggie White when he was against me. You
- 6:53Speaker 6: just knew that it was going to be hard. So
- 6:55Speaker 6: you focus in on how you're going to do that,
- 6:57Speaker 6: and your quarterback has to be ready if it down
- 7:01Speaker 6: to do the right thing and get the ball out
- 7:04Speaker 6: of your hands, don't take the big sack, you know,
- 7:06Speaker 6: play the short game, run the ball more, you know,
- 7:10Speaker 6: if they're really getting to you.
- 7:12Speaker 3: You know, Mike.
- 7:14Speaker 4: One thing that intrigues me is is that the idea
- 7:17Speaker 4: of green dogging, you know, the key dogging and you
- 7:21Speaker 4: know Tyrese Knight. They say, look, if that running back,
- 7:25Speaker 4: if he doesn't block, emon, worry who's coming through the
- 7:29Speaker 4: B gap. If he releases, you got to cover him.
- 7:32Speaker 4: But if he does block, then you turn it into
- 7:35Speaker 4: a blitz like that's and and and that's where you
- 7:38Speaker 4: can get an overload. And you say, well, from a
- 7:40Speaker 4: quarterback perspective, you say, wait a minute, they green dog me.
- 7:44Speaker 4: I didn't have anywhere to go with the ball. I
- 7:46Speaker 4: think that first touchdown on the fumble was very interesting.
- 7:51Speaker 4: I think it really illuminates about football in the following regard.
- 7:56Speaker 4: You can defend a quarterback on his side of the
- 7:59Speaker 4: line of scrimmage, the offensive side of the line of
- 8:00Speaker 4: scrimmage on how you rush him, or on your side
- 8:04Speaker 4: the defensive side, on how you cover. There's no question
- 8:07Speaker 4: on that touchdown that that Drake Thomas busted the coverage
- 8:10Speaker 4: the middle. He was playing middle linebacker. He buzzed out
- 8:13Speaker 4: and and Trey McBride was running wide open right over
- 8:17Speaker 4: the middle like a short, shallow cross and uh uh,
- 8:21Speaker 4: and nobody's nobody's covering him. Clearly Seattle busted on that.
- 8:25Speaker 4: So they set gets an f on their coverage for
- 8:28Speaker 4: that reason. But the blitz was so complex that they
- 8:32Speaker 4: were able to get that green dog, get the hand
- 8:35Speaker 4: up and cause the the fumble, and and and so
- 8:38Speaker 4: they are so good on that side of the line
- 8:39Speaker 4: of scrimmers.
- 8:40Speaker 3: I don't know.
- 8:40Speaker 4: I think that I find that fascinating that that Arizona
- 8:43Speaker 4: would look at that tape and go, oh my god,
- 8:45Speaker 4: we had we were wide open if we could just
- 8:47Speaker 4: get it. But but Sea was so good in their blitz.
- 8:50Speaker 6: Yeah, you know, the something you mentioned earlier was that
- 8:57Speaker 6: you had three linemen blocking uh uh, you know, the
- 9:02Speaker 6: Seattle's best, even will Leonard Williams, three of them. And
- 9:05Speaker 6: of course that's it's not supposed to be that.
- 9:07Speaker 3: I don't care. It's supposed to how good the guy is.
- 9:10Speaker 6: You don't do that because they're gonna be guys that
- 9:12Speaker 6: are free, so, uh, you know, those types of things.
- 9:16Speaker 6: And and the other thing I would say is, if
- 9:18Speaker 6: you know they're playing against Brissette. When they played against
- 9:23Speaker 6: uh Taylor Tyler Kyler, Murray Kyler, they he's movement, they
- 9:28Speaker 6: have to rush differently. There's more of a contain kind
- 9:32Speaker 6: of theory. They knew where Brissette was going to be
- 9:36Speaker 6: and as long as he's in that spot, they can
- 9:38Speaker 6: do a lot of different things over there. So that
- 9:41Speaker 6: played into it as well.
- 9:42Speaker 2: Mike Homberan is with us, and yeah, at one point
- 9:45Speaker 2: he did have Reggie White playing for him. That was
- 9:48Speaker 2: a lot more fun for coach Holmbron, who's with us
- 9:51Speaker 2: here on Monday morning quarterback with Hugh Millen. It's a
- 9:55Speaker 2: good problem to have being up thirty five to nothing
- 9:58Speaker 2: with eight and a half minutes left in the second quarter.
- 10:01Speaker 4: But how difficult is that to coach.
- 10:04Speaker 2: The rest of the way where you're just trying to
- 10:08Speaker 2: melt clock, not get anybody hurt, but you still have
- 10:10Speaker 2: two and a half quarters you've got to go.
- 10:13Speaker 6: Yeah, that's a that's a challenge, you know, And and
- 10:16Speaker 6: to say that you're gonna stay the same revd Up,
- 10:22Speaker 6: I'm not sure.
- 10:23Speaker 7: You know.
- 10:24Speaker 6: The only other time that I was involved in the
- 10:26Speaker 6: game like that, we were playing the Eagles and he was,
- 10:29Speaker 6: and he was the coach, and we were up forty
- 10:32Speaker 6: to nothing with with you know, right in the third
- 10:37Speaker 6: quarter of the first drive, we scored forty boom. Now,
- 10:40Speaker 6: now I got the second half to play and I
- 10:42Speaker 6: didn't throw another pass. I ran every single play.
- 10:45Speaker 3: Wow.
- 10:46Speaker 6: And and you know that wasn't any fun for the
- 10:49Speaker 6: backup guys. They they want to, hey, come on, I'm
- 10:52Speaker 6: a receiver, throw me the ball. But that's what I did.
- 10:56Speaker 6: I said one, I don't I know. They can't score
- 11:00Speaker 6: forty one that one. I know. So let's just get
- 11:04Speaker 6: the game over with. Let's just make it happen faster. Well,
- 11:07Speaker 6: we're sure, go ahead, go ahead. You no, I'm sorry.
- 11:11Speaker 4: So, Mike, if you had been on the sidelines there
- 11:15Speaker 4: and you're you're kind of directing, I know you're the
- 11:18Speaker 4: play caller, but let's just say for the sake of
- 11:20Speaker 4: the discussion that Clint Kubiak is your play caller. Would
- 11:24Speaker 4: you get on the headset and say, hey, let's run
- 11:27Speaker 4: it to the tune of just two pass attempts for
- 11:30Speaker 4: the entire second half that Seattle had. Would it be
- 11:34Speaker 4: that much of a running or would have you tried
- 11:37Speaker 4: to you know, from time to time, just keep things
- 11:40Speaker 4: loosened up. I mean, how would have you handled because
- 11:42Speaker 4: that was that was a that was a very rare
- 11:46Speaker 4: game plan that Seattle had in that second half.
- 11:48Speaker 6: In that regard, No, I mean when you look at
- 11:50Speaker 6: the if you looked at the numbers, Chuck and I
- 11:52Speaker 6: put those lists together, typically he was ten for twelve
- 11:57Speaker 6: in a game. Now who in the end NFL. In
- 12:00Speaker 6: today's NFL, some guys throw twelve passes in a quarter,
- 12:04Speaker 6: you know, for the whole game. So, but but you
- 12:08Speaker 6: would emphasize, okay, we're gonna we're gonna slow this thing
- 12:10Speaker 6: down and run it. But then yeah, third and four,
- 12:12Speaker 6: third and five had throw a quick pass. No, I
- 12:15Speaker 6: would not, just although I just said I did it,
- 12:18Speaker 6: now I'm saying now I'm older, wiser. Yeah, I probably
- 12:22Speaker 6: wouldn't have done it that way. I probably would have
- 12:23Speaker 6: thrown the ball a little bit, keep everyone happy. Yeah, well,
- 12:27Speaker 6: I mean maybe part I mean I don't think there.
- 12:29Speaker 6: I think they were just trying to milk the clock
- 12:30Speaker 6: and get the thing over a fewer plays you can.
- 12:33Speaker 6: You have to run the least chance somebody's gonna get hurt.
- 12:35Speaker 6: But you know, the one negative side was the turnovers.
- 12:40Speaker 6: You know, Sam had a couple or a few of them, actually,
- 12:42Speaker 6: And so I'm wondering, is that do you just chalk
- 12:45Speaker 6: that up to the intensity level dropped.
- 12:49Speaker 5: Because you're up thirty five to zero, or are you
- 12:52Speaker 5: still gonna be really coaching them up on that because
- 12:55Speaker 5: you know, can you know, making sure you take care
- 12:58Speaker 5: of the ball is important.
- 12:59Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 12:59Speaker 6: I think anytime when when you're coaching against turnovers, regardless
- 13:06Speaker 6: of the score, you're going to talk about those things.
- 13:09Speaker 6: You know, when he with the snap from center, yeah
- 13:13Speaker 6: they had it. I think they the center got injured.
- 13:15Speaker 6: They brought in a new center, and you know this.
- 13:18Speaker 6: You know sometimes it's a little different, or they haven't
- 13:22Speaker 6: taken a snap for a while. You know, it's different. So, yeah, no,
- 13:25Speaker 6: that can't happen. You tell that can't happen. I don't
- 13:28Speaker 6: care what the score is. That can happen. And you
- 13:31Speaker 6: we're still making good decisions throwing the ball.
- 13:33Speaker 3: We're not. We're not putting it up there, you know.
- 13:35Speaker 6: And I think I think in Brissette's case and in
- 13:39Speaker 6: Sam's case, you know, when you get hit, you know
- 13:42Speaker 6: they're trying to throw it, you get hit in the ball,
- 13:45Speaker 6: that there's an interception or something that happened, happens.
- 13:48Speaker 3: Whose fault is that?
- 13:49Speaker 6: I mean, it's not you're not The decision may have
- 13:52Speaker 6: been a good one, but he got hit, you know so,
- 13:55Speaker 6: but you do talk about it and try and correct it. Well.
- 13:57Speaker 2: Greg Bell pointed out to us earlier in the show that,
- 14:00Speaker 2: I mean Sam's only been sacked ten times, and he's
- 14:02Speaker 2: fumbled four times on those sacks. He's got a few
- 14:04Speaker 2: more interceptions. I mean, he's probably not in the top
- 14:07Speaker 2: of the MVP conversation because Matt Stafford's only thrown two
- 14:10Speaker 2: and Drake May's only thrown five so far this year.
- 14:14Speaker 2: So I would ask you both.
- 14:16Speaker 3: I'll start with, actually, you, Hugh, are we worried?
- 14:18Speaker 2: Are we concerned at all about Sam Darnold's turnovers.
- 14:23Speaker 4: I'm not concerned. First of all, the four fumbles, definitely
- 14:27Speaker 4: one of them against Houston in the end zone. The
- 14:30Speaker 4: fumble there, that's a double minus. That's awful. But if
- 14:34Speaker 4: you go through the four he was looking to his left.
- 14:37Speaker 4: And by the way, on ball security, Mike, you check
- 14:41Speaker 4: me if you don't agree with this. Not all ball
- 14:43Speaker 4: security is the same. If you're if you're running as
- 14:47Speaker 4: a quarterback. Then then you say, okay, you have to
- 14:50Speaker 4: cover it up like a running back. If you're standing
- 14:52Speaker 4: in the pocket and you're climbing, you have both hands
- 14:55Speaker 4: on the ball, then you have to be strong. But
- 14:57Speaker 4: if you're starting the throwing motion, your hands are going
- 15:00Speaker 4: to separate. And if you're looking to your left and
- 15:03Speaker 4: somebody gets smoked to your right, Like, how do you
- 15:06Speaker 4: coach a quarterback like he's not he doesn't have the
- 15:09Speaker 4: same standard that ball, he's holding it with one hand,
- 15:12Speaker 4: he's about to throw it. If his arm gets hit,
- 15:15Speaker 4: it's gonna fumble.
- 15:15Speaker 3: Period.
- 15:16Speaker 4: So so the against Bosa, he's looking to his left
- 15:21Speaker 4: and while he's throwing the ball gots dislodged. He had
- 15:25Speaker 4: another one and that was at two point four seconds.
- 15:29Speaker 4: He had another one against the Cardinals where the guy
- 15:32Speaker 4: came around the backside. Uh, you know, three point one seconds.
- 15:36Speaker 4: But but he's throwing it and so if somebody from
- 15:39Speaker 4: his backside hits his hand, there's not much he can
- 15:41Speaker 4: do about it. As I said, Houston absolutely cannot have that.
- 15:45Speaker 4: And then and then you had yesterday. He was going
- 15:48Speaker 4: to his left. Look, Josh Sweat could have been the
- 15:51Speaker 4: Super Bowl MVP last year.
- 15:53Speaker 2: Uh.
- 15:54Speaker 4: In terms of the havoc that he created against Pat Mahomes,
- 15:57Speaker 4: he has a eighty four and eighth inch, which is
- 16:01Speaker 4: ninety fifth percentile of all defensive ends. He reached out,
- 16:05Speaker 4: Sam Donold was looking to his left. He had a
- 16:07Speaker 4: wide open guy who's just gonna throw to him. He
- 16:09Speaker 4: reached out and and he caught Sam one. Sam was throwing.
- 16:14Speaker 4: So the only way you can you can coach Mike
- 16:16Speaker 4: a quarterback and say, hey, you got a field, don't
- 16:19Speaker 4: throw it if you feel like that's got guy's going
- 16:22Speaker 4: to be there. And sometimes that that's valid. But if
- 16:25Speaker 4: the quarterback's looking the opposite way, he can't be hung
- 16:28Speaker 4: up on on you know, whether or not his hand's
- 16:31Speaker 4: gonna get hit by a guy that he can't see.
- 16:34Speaker 6: No, And I would agree, I would agree with Hugh
- 16:36Speaker 6: and this jock it's not I don't worry about that
- 16:39Speaker 6: with him. I really don't. You know, And you probably
- 16:43Speaker 6: did this drill eight thousand times. You know, the quarterback
- 16:46Speaker 6: in practice, you go back and there are guys on
- 16:49Speaker 6: both sides with bags, and then you go back, step
- 16:52Speaker 6: up and they're banging you, and then you have to
- 16:55Speaker 6: you have to learn to then protect the football, and
- 16:59Speaker 6: those are the time you must learn that. You see
- 17:01Speaker 6: his quarterbacks fumble now and they haven't.
- 17:04Speaker 3: They don't do that.
- 17:05Speaker 6: Well, they come back and they dropping the ball perhaps
- 17:07Speaker 6: in the pocket, but when you get hit like that,
- 17:10Speaker 6: it's not it's not on him.
- 17:12Speaker 3: Typically, did you do that? We were you the guy
- 17:15Speaker 3: that had the rake and.
- 17:16Speaker 2: You were trying to poke at it and practice and
- 17:18Speaker 2: all of that stuff. Or did you ever have to
- 17:20Speaker 2: tape the ball to you know, running back's hands. Did
- 17:23Speaker 2: you have to do any of those tricks?
- 17:24Speaker 3: No? I didn't. I didn't. I had Zorn do that.
- 17:26Speaker 6: I'd come out and he'd be having volleyballs and beach
- 17:30Speaker 6: balls and he do all sorts of weird stuff out
- 17:32Speaker 6: there with the quarterbacks.
- 17:33Speaker 3: But like what he's doing? What is he doing? You know?
- 17:36Speaker 3: All right?
- 17:36Speaker 2: Mike O, I'm Rinn and Hugh Millan with us Monday
- 17:39Speaker 2: morning quarterback. We got a lot more ground to cover,
- 17:41Speaker 2: so we'll get to it next. Sports Radio ninety three
- 17:44Speaker 2: point three kJ R f M.
- 17:46Speaker 7: Well, he got a game ball as well as d
- 17:48Speaker 7: Law but teenight specifically, same story. It's you got to
- 17:53Speaker 7: stay ready, how you prepare, and he's playing great football,
- 17:57Speaker 7: you know, Obviously you want to hearn us back as
- 18:00Speaker 7: as soon as possible, but he's showing that he can
- 18:02Speaker 7: go in and play great ball for us and execute.
- 18:04Speaker 7: Both of those were pressures that we haven't ran before,
- 18:07Speaker 7: and so to be able to go to the next
- 18:09Speaker 7: few those things having not getten all the reps was
- 18:11Speaker 7: some my part stuff.
- 18:14Speaker 2: Pike McDonald talking about to ty Reese Knight and DeMarcus
- 18:19Speaker 2: Lawrence combining for I know we've already touched on this
- 18:22Speaker 2: with coach and Hugh, but I haven't asked you, Coach,
- 18:25Speaker 2: have you ever in your life seen that where two
- 18:29Speaker 2: pretty much identical twin plays occurred on the defensive side
- 18:34Speaker 2: of the ball that resulted in touchdowns for the same guy.
- 18:38Speaker 6: No, I have never seen it, And I mentioned it
- 18:41Speaker 6: struck my funny bone. I'm looking at him going, I
- 18:44Speaker 6: just saw that. Are they replaying this and are they
- 18:47Speaker 6: replaying this and showing it again? Because it's exactly the
- 18:50Speaker 6: same and it early in the football game. It's set
- 18:55Speaker 6: the entire tone of the game, I think. And No,
- 18:59Speaker 6: I've never seen anything like that, you know, and you know,
- 19:03Speaker 6: and Mike listened to Mike's comments right there that he
- 19:06Speaker 6: was he goes we put something new when he alluded
- 19:10Speaker 6: it was new, and he executed beautifully, and the backup
- 19:13Speaker 6: linebacker who was now the starter, came in and did it,
- 19:16Speaker 6: you know, and I sensed maybe it's maybe it's coach
- 19:21Speaker 6: to coach. I sensed a little there was a little
- 19:24Speaker 6: pride there. There was a little feel good about him
- 19:27Speaker 6: doing that, because I know I did it. All of
- 19:29Speaker 6: a sudden, you throw a touchdown pass. And I don't
- 19:32Speaker 6: mean to mention this to Buck again. But against Denver
- 19:35Speaker 6: when I was with the forty nine ers and I
- 19:36Speaker 6: said that they run this defense, we're gonna throw it,
- 19:40Speaker 6: and George Seffert goes call it, call to play because
- 19:42Speaker 6: it was a new play we'd never run. I said,
- 19:44Speaker 6: not yet, not yet. I needed to call it. I
- 19:47Speaker 6: need to be at the forty yard line, so get
- 19:49Speaker 6: the safeties to move and we got there. I called it.
- 19:52Speaker 6: It worked, and I tried to be humble. I really did.
- 19:58Speaker 6: But you guys are patting me on the back. Oh no,
- 20:00Speaker 6: it wasn't me. It was Jerry Rice, But no, it
- 20:03Speaker 6: was me. That was.
- 20:06Speaker 2: Well, you said earlier the coach McDonald needs to go
- 20:09Speaker 2: up to the podium and said, do you guyalize how
- 20:11Speaker 2: awesome I am.
- 20:12Speaker 3: I know, I don't think you guys appreciate. I don't
- 20:14Speaker 3: think you know football well enough. You know how awesome
- 20:16Speaker 3: I am.
- 20:16Speaker 6: Yeah, let's start talking about my defense out there.
- 20:21Speaker 4: And you know, even when h on the offensive side
- 20:24Speaker 4: of the ball, js n's touchdown, Mike, uh, you know,
- 20:27Speaker 4: you you want to catch that ball ideally in the
- 20:31Speaker 4: end zone so you get a touchdown out of it, right.
- 20:32Speaker 4: You don't want to catch it at the four yard
- 20:34Speaker 4: line and then you know, goal line stand and then
- 20:36Speaker 4: you kick a field goal. Right, But so you can't
- 20:39Speaker 4: be you know, too far and not get to the
- 20:41Speaker 4: end zone. In an ideal world, you can't be too
- 20:43Speaker 4: close and run out of the back of the end zone.
- 20:45Speaker 4: I mean, all that stuff comes into play, and it
- 20:48Speaker 4: will this Sunday and and just got to get your
- 20:51Speaker 4: your thought on you know here here is the in
- 20:54Speaker 4: a way is the Seahawks grand plan because in the
- 20:59Speaker 4: division and they saw Sean McVay and they saw of
- 21:03Speaker 4: course Kyle Shanahan, you know, thought to be two of
- 21:06Speaker 4: the brightest you know, if we can use the word
- 21:08Speaker 4: brilliant to describe coaches, and I'm sure you're gonna say,
- 21:11Speaker 4: of course you can, uh, two brilliant coaches in the
- 21:14Speaker 4: in the division and and you say, okay, well we
- 21:18Speaker 4: got to match that. So if we if we can't
- 21:20Speaker 4: get a brilliant offensive guy like Ben Johnson, let's get
- 21:23Speaker 4: a brilliant defensive.
- 21:25Speaker 8: Guy like Mike McDonald to battle it. This is the
- 21:28Speaker 8: first time you know where you say, wow, this is
- 21:31Speaker 8: there's really something on the line here in that regard, Mike. Uh,
- 21:35Speaker 8: just talk about your thoughts, uh, Mike McDonald then his
- 21:38Speaker 8: defensive acumen versus the uh the offensive brilliance of Sean McVay.
- 21:45Speaker 6: Yeah, that's that's what's gonna make this next game something special.
- 21:49Speaker 6: The uh uh, but give credit to both. You know,
- 21:53Speaker 6: Sean has done a brilliant job with the Rams and
- 21:55Speaker 6: their offense. Now they have a veteran court that I mean,
- 21:58Speaker 6: they have the people there to do what ever he
- 22:00Speaker 6: chooses to do. Mike is I think in Seattle's case,
- 22:05Speaker 6: they're still, in my opinion, they're still in a building process.
- 22:09Speaker 6: He's new, he's new in town, and he's still and
- 22:13Speaker 6: they're really good right now. But they've bought in. They're
- 22:17Speaker 6: playing with emotion and they're doing good stuff over there. Uh,
- 22:21Speaker 6: the only time Tampa. I don't know what happened in
- 22:23Speaker 6: the Tampa game, but they are really now hitting their peak.
- 22:27Speaker 6: And the thing I've said it before and I'll say
- 22:29Speaker 6: it again, they're doing it with guys that are substituting
- 22:32Speaker 6: for starters. Not many teams can do that. So he's
- 22:37Speaker 6: getting everybody in that room to understand that, hey, I
- 22:43Speaker 6: expect the same things out of you, even if you're
- 22:46Speaker 6: not the starter right now, you could be the starter tomorrow.
- 22:49Speaker 6: And getting your team to understand that, and getting the
- 22:51Speaker 6: players to understand that that's something specials he's gifted that way.
- 22:56Speaker 5: Even though I mean, yesterday was different considering, you know,
- 23:00Speaker 5: fourteen of the first twenty one points where with the
- 23:03Speaker 5: with the defense, and yet they still had three touchdowns
- 23:07Speaker 5: to go up there thirty five to zero, and so well,
- 23:10Speaker 5: the offense just kind of took a started just trying
- 23:13Speaker 5: to run the ball out to some degree and get
- 23:16Speaker 5: the clock running. The offense has been unbelievable, at least
- 23:20Speaker 5: especially for the last six quarters right all the last game,
- 23:22Speaker 5: in the first half of the first game of yesterday's game,
- 23:25Speaker 5: I mean, and so when you're looking at right now,
- 23:28Speaker 5: it doesn't still feel like it's all clicking on all cylinders,
- 23:31Speaker 5: and yet it's one of the more potent offenses out there.
- 23:34Speaker 5: Did you see that coming before the season started?
- 23:38Speaker 6: I had my I can't say I saw it the
- 23:42Speaker 6: way it's going right now, thought I thought, And I
- 23:45Speaker 6: said this, and I say it again, and I although
- 23:48Speaker 6: the offensive line now is kind of starting to gel
- 23:50Speaker 6: because I think one of the commentators said, they haven't.
- 23:53Speaker 6: Those guys have played together now every week, which is important.
- 23:57Speaker 6: Now they lost the center yesterday, know what how serious
- 24:00Speaker 6: the injury is, but they're they're getting better each week.
- 24:04Speaker 3: I think.
- 24:05Speaker 6: Have we said that? You know, Arizona lost a number
- 24:08Speaker 6: of players during the game injury wise, so they they
- 24:12Speaker 6: lost some stuff to there, but no, they they What
- 24:16Speaker 6: impressed me was there how they played the second half.
- 24:20Speaker 6: They weren't gonna they were gonna work the clock. But
- 24:23Speaker 6: Charbonnet and a Walker you saw things. You saw really
- 24:28Speaker 6: good things in the running game. I hadn't seen a
- 24:32Speaker 6: lot of up to yesterday, and so in that respect,
- 24:37Speaker 6: it probably will boost everybody's feelings about the run and
- 24:41Speaker 6: what they can do, because yeah, you know they were
- 24:44Speaker 6: gonna do that. Arizona knew they were going to do that. Yes,
- 24:47Speaker 6: they still were able to get some stuff done that way,
- 24:49Speaker 6: and they ran hard.
- 24:51Speaker 2: Mike Holmgren is though with US. Hugh Millan with US
- 24:53Speaker 2: Monday Morning Quarterback Coaches Portion brought to you by Toyota
- 24:56Speaker 2: of Kirkland R and R Foundation Specialists and slab Jack. Tonight,
- 25:01Speaker 2: the Packers are playing the Eagles. The Packers maybe you've
- 25:06Speaker 2: heard of them, coach, they tried to get the tush
- 25:12Speaker 2: push outlawed during the off season. They were individually, they
- 25:17Speaker 2: raised their end, they yelled it from a mountain up.
- 25:19Speaker 2: I want this play out of leg They didn't succeed,
- 25:22Speaker 2: So tonight the Eagles do the tush push, taking on
- 25:25Speaker 2: the Packers who wanted to ban the tush push. But
- 25:27Speaker 2: my question is about how the Seahawks are doing their
- 25:31Speaker 2: tush push. I know Hugh hates the play, but I'm wondering,
- 25:35Speaker 2: since it is legal, do you both like how the
- 25:39Speaker 2: Seahawks have approached it by putting a two hundred and
- 25:41Speaker 2: fifty pound tight end under center and AJ Barner.
- 25:45Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 25:46Speaker 6: I don't like the tush push, but I think but
- 25:49Speaker 6: what the Seahawks are doing right now, because with I
- 25:54Speaker 6: think it's very effective. I think it worked. I think
- 25:56Speaker 6: it's working. It's worked almost every time. I think, you know,
- 26:00Speaker 6: but no, I don't like to play. I would have voted,
- 26:03Speaker 6: you know, let's not do that, you know, because you're
- 26:06Speaker 6: it's a kind of against what most of the rules
- 26:09Speaker 6: say that you can't push a guy from behind them
- 26:12Speaker 6: and then a regular game, you know. But but they're
- 26:17Speaker 6: doing it, and I think they'll vote on it again.
- 26:19Speaker 6: I believe the league's going to vote on it again,
- 26:21Speaker 6: and it might get thrown out. But I think as
- 26:24Speaker 6: long as you're going to try it and it's working, yeah,
- 26:27Speaker 6: good for them.
- 26:27Speaker 3: They've done it.
- 26:28Speaker 6: Now I'll let you go ahead.
- 26:31Speaker 4: Well, now my blood's boil and I'm gonna have to
- 26:33Speaker 4: go take a cold shower. But first of all, it's
- 26:36Speaker 4: not a football play. It's a rugby play in my opinion,
- 26:40Speaker 4: And and and just as a reminder, and I'm gonna
- 26:43Speaker 4: ask I'm gonna aswer your question about Barner as a reminder.
- 26:47Speaker 4: Starting nineteen twenty, the beginning of the league, until two
- 26:49Speaker 4: thousand and five, eighty five years, it was outlawed there.
- 26:54Speaker 4: It was called aiding the runner, who was a ten
- 26:57Speaker 4: yard penalty. All through my career, most of Mike's coaching career,
- 27:02Speaker 4: it was. It was a penalty. And so if they
- 27:04Speaker 4: if they quote unquote outlaw, in my mind, just pragmatically,
- 27:09Speaker 4: they're just reverting to way football always was. I think
- 27:13Speaker 4: that's an important distinction that you're not. And by the way,
- 27:15Speaker 4: Jeffrey Lewie, the owner of the Eagles, he just needs
- 27:19Speaker 4: seven friends because it takes seventy five percent of the
- 27:23Speaker 4: owners to overturn that rule. Mike, right, you'd know better
- 27:25Speaker 4: than me, you're on the competition committee. But that's my understanding.
- 27:30Speaker 4: As for Barner, Yeah, look, he's stronger than a quarterback.
- 27:34Speaker 4: Is he marginally enough stronger? He was a quarterback in
- 27:37Speaker 4: high school, so I think he's shown himself to be
- 27:40Speaker 4: adept at taking the snap. That would be my biggest
- 27:43Speaker 4: concern right after jump. Can he turn at some point
- 27:46Speaker 4: and give a guy the ball off tackle or on
- 27:48Speaker 4: a fly switches to cross it up. I'm sure he can.
- 27:52Speaker 4: So yeah, it's been successful. So as a Seahawk fan,
- 27:56Speaker 4: I hate the rule, But I don't know that he's
- 27:59Speaker 4: been stopped yet.
- 28:00Speaker 2: Has he I don't remember him having been stopped.
- 28:02Speaker 3: I don't have the stat in front of it.
- 28:04Speaker 2: He certainly was successful two for two yesterday, but I
- 28:07Speaker 2: don't remember him having been stopped on that play.
- 28:10Speaker 6: Now. Now, the thing that bugs me about it, another
- 28:12Speaker 6: thing that because I'm a little bit on you side
- 28:14Speaker 6: on this, is that oftentimes a penalty should be called. Yeah,
- 28:21Speaker 6: and it's not, and all of a sudden, someone out
- 28:23Speaker 6: of the blue will call it. But they should just
- 28:26Speaker 6: about every single time someone is moving someone's off sides,
- 28:31Speaker 6: it should be called.
- 28:32Speaker 2: They're supposed to start cracking down on that. We'll see,
- 28:35Speaker 2: I mean tonight, Monday night football against the team that
- 28:37Speaker 2: wanted it banned. We'll see if the officials call it tighter.
- 28:40Speaker 6: Water is that game in Green Bay? Yes, twenty four degrees?
- 28:44Speaker 6: I know how you missed those. Well, my daughter, who's
- 28:46Speaker 6: the doctor, and she lives in Chicago. She sent me
- 28:48Speaker 6: a picture of last night. Her backyard has a couple
- 28:53Speaker 6: of lounge chairs. There was a foot of snow, a
- 28:57Speaker 6: foot of snow on the lounge chairs. So have fun,
- 29:01Speaker 6: have fun, Green Bay, and have fun you.
- 29:05Speaker 4: And nobody in the lounds here.
- 29:07Speaker 2: No, sure, you don't want a frozen mustache again? Come
- 29:10Speaker 2: on now, just for old time's sake. Yeah, all right,
- 29:14Speaker 2: One final segment, One last thing, next on Sports Radio
- 29:16Speaker 2: ninety three point three KJRFM, all right, Vinyl segment, we
- 29:32Speaker 2: got to every one last thing. I do have some
- 29:33Speaker 2: breaking news. The Giants have fired head coach Brian Dable.
- 29:37Speaker 2: Very interesting. I mean, why they didn't do this in
- 29:40Speaker 2: the offseason. And then Jackson Darts having a really good
- 29:43Speaker 2: rookie year under him. He's supposed to be a quarterback guy,
- 29:46Speaker 2: and yet he's had four concussions already this year. So
- 29:49Speaker 2: I don't know if they're blaming him for that. I
- 29:51Speaker 2: don't know what's going on, but Brian Dable is out as.
- 29:54Speaker 3: Head coach of the New York Giants. Yeah.
- 29:57Speaker 6: I thought maybe that would have happened during the off season. Yeah, but.
- 30:02Speaker 1: No.
- 30:03Speaker 6: I think it's surprising though, because John Marra, who I know,
- 30:07Speaker 6: who owns the Giants, he doesn't usually do things like that.
- 30:12Speaker 6: He'll wait. If he's gonna do it, he'll wait. And
- 30:16Speaker 6: but yeah, I could you can kind of see it coming.
- 30:19Speaker 6: Here's a big fan of Brian Dable really is really
- 30:21Speaker 6: enjoying them.
- 30:24Speaker 4: Well, he had that night when the Seahawks were playing them.
- 30:28Speaker 4: Do you remember Dan Jones had I think eleven sacks
- 30:31Speaker 4: in that game, and at one point, Dabell comes over
- 30:35Speaker 4: and finally Daniel Jones. I don't know if he threw
- 30:38Speaker 4: an interception or he did something bad. And dabel comes
- 30:40Speaker 4: over and he's standing there looking at at his Microsoft
- 30:44Speaker 4: surface and he's got this disgusted look on his face,
- 30:48Speaker 4: and right in front of Daniel Jones, he just Frisbee's
- 30:51Speaker 4: Microsoft surface like I'm so disgusted, and you know, and
- 30:55Speaker 4: Daniel Jones just hey, chin up, eyes up, chest up,
- 30:58Speaker 4: like didn't didn't phase him. And look, I absolutely think,
- 31:02Speaker 4: Mike that the order is My dad was in the army,
- 31:05Speaker 4: Like there's a there. You have the chain of command there.
- 31:08Speaker 4: The coaches are up here and the players are down here.
- 31:10Speaker 4: I absolutely believe in that. So so uh, you know,
- 31:14Speaker 4: the players you just do what you're told.
- 31:17Speaker 3: But I don't.
- 31:19Speaker 4: I think it's really weak of a head coach in
- 31:23Speaker 4: that manner when his quarterback is getting the ever loving
- 31:27Speaker 4: crap beat out of him, in large part because of
- 31:29Speaker 4: his lousy schemes, I might add, and that he's going
- 31:33Speaker 4: to show up like if if a quarterback did that
- 31:35Speaker 4: to a coach, it would make national news. And I
- 31:38Speaker 4: don't think a quarterback or any players ever should, But
- 31:42Speaker 4: I also think what Dabo did on that occasion, and
- 31:45Speaker 4: it was on was it Monday Night Football or Sunday
- 31:47Speaker 4: Night Football, But but he showed up his quarterback and
- 31:50Speaker 4: national TV when his quarterback was getting the crap beat
- 31:52Speaker 4: out of him, and that that was the final nail
- 31:55Speaker 4: for me as a fan on Brian Dabo. What's your
- 31:58Speaker 4: thoughts on how that transpired?
- 32:00Speaker 6: Yeah, I would, you know, I'm against that. I I
- 32:04Speaker 6: talked all the time about coming from mutual respect. I mean,
- 32:07Speaker 6: you can get mad, but get you can not do that.
- 32:10Speaker 6: And plus he's the leader his teammates. I'll see him
- 32:13Speaker 6: see that happen. It's not good. It's not good. And
- 32:16Speaker 6: you know what, when I was in Cleveland, Brian was
- 32:18Speaker 6: there and it was the offensive coordinator and we had
- 32:22Speaker 6: Colt McCoy as a rookie and then our number one
- 32:24Speaker 6: quarterback got hurt, so Colt had to play. And what
- 32:27Speaker 6: Brian did to him during practice, I go and I
- 32:31Speaker 6: had to go in a couple of times and I'd say, hey,
- 32:34Speaker 6: you're you're not helping, You're you're you're this guy's a
- 32:38Speaker 6: young rookie. You got to you know, you know, so
- 32:43Speaker 6: you know, he had a little bit of a temper,
- 32:45Speaker 6: and I think, yeah, you can't treat your quarterback that way.
- 32:48Speaker 3: You can't.
- 32:48Speaker 2: All right, we got to rifle through this one last
- 32:50Speaker 2: thing for coach Bucky Well.
- 32:53Speaker 5: I mean there's seven one, seven of the last eight.
- 32:56Speaker 5: Robbie obviously rolling right now first place and got the
- 33:00Speaker 5: biggest game coming up against the Rams. How do you
- 33:03Speaker 5: just kind of get these guys to make sure. I
- 33:04Speaker 5: don't think they should have an issue getting focused for
- 33:07Speaker 5: first place in the division. But it's like when things
- 33:09Speaker 5: are going well. We watched the Buffalo Bills, for example,
- 33:12Speaker 5: just lay an egg against Miami yesterday. It's like, to me,
- 33:16Speaker 5: it gives credence to good coaching, good leadership inside the
- 33:20Speaker 5: locker room of how do you get your guys to
- 33:22Speaker 5: stay focused on the task at hand when things are
- 33:24Speaker 5: going well and don't get complacent.
- 33:26Speaker 6: Yeah, I think Mike McDonald will will approach it the
- 33:29Speaker 6: same way he always does, but he'll interject little little
- 33:33Speaker 6: things during the week to emphasize, you know, this game
- 33:38Speaker 6: now is this is different. This is the two teams
- 33:41Speaker 6: that are tied. This could set the tone for the
- 33:44Speaker 6: rest of the season. So you got to do something
- 33:48Speaker 6: and the player, you're right, buck. The players do know,
- 33:50Speaker 6: but then you poke them a little bit and you
- 33:52Speaker 6: make sure that they it's they're right up there.
- 33:55Speaker 3: As a how are they gonna play here? Uh? Yeah.
- 33:59Speaker 4: While we were talking about Sam Donald and the and
- 34:01Speaker 4: the turnovers, Mike, let's let's go back to that interception
- 34:04Speaker 4: off the two yard line, off the helmet. And it's
- 34:08Speaker 4: my experience that in a quarterback meeting room, if you
- 34:13Speaker 4: think if the coach thinks the quarterback made a mistake,
- 34:16Speaker 4: then quarterbacks say, fine, I'm a big boy, tell me
- 34:19Speaker 4: it's all my fault. I'm just tell me what I
- 34:21Speaker 4: should have done different. And on that play, it's play
- 34:24Speaker 4: action and you watch the end zone copy. Sam Donald
- 34:28Speaker 4: does not take a hitch step is his footwork is perfect.
- 34:32Speaker 4: You can see it's wide open. He's hitting a little
- 34:35Speaker 4: glance route. Mike, inside, it's gonna be wide open. It's
- 34:38Speaker 4: gonna be a completion. The problem is that it's a
- 34:40Speaker 4: five down line and instead of going five down because
- 34:43Speaker 4: they're play action, you got AJ Barner who's in an
- 34:47Speaker 4: off position. Guys, so the sea gap is going to
- 34:51Speaker 4: open up when the right tackle blocks down in towards
- 34:54Speaker 4: the ball, and AJ Barner just allowed the linebacker to
- 34:57Speaker 4: cross his face and he got blown up. The NFL
- 35:00Speaker 4: calculated at two point one seconds the ball was gone
- 35:04Speaker 4: and uh, you know, it ends up going off of
- 35:07Speaker 4: Barnard's helmet because he got stoned all the way to
- 35:11Speaker 4: the back. That's a that's a double minus f by
- 35:14Speaker 4: the tight end. It's a tough block because sometimes the
- 35:18Speaker 4: tackle fan out in a five down. But but but
- 35:21Speaker 4: it's certainly I would have zero fault on the quarterback.
- 35:24Speaker 4: And I mean zero. Do you see it any differently.
- 35:27Speaker 6: No, And it reminds me not at all. It reminds
- 35:30Speaker 6: me when I was at SC and I went into
- 35:32Speaker 6: the game, you know, and O. J. Simpson was the
- 35:34Speaker 6: running back, and we ran a little half back option play.
- 35:37Speaker 6: I can complete that in my sleep, you know. And
- 35:40Speaker 6: so I dropped back throw the ball. He falls down.
- 35:44Speaker 6: He slipped and fell. So the linebacker, linebacker from Washington,
- 35:48Speaker 6: receps the ball. I had to make my one tackle
- 35:50Speaker 6: in college. I tackled him. I thought, oh, but that
- 35:53Speaker 6: wasn't my fault. Yet I got yellow. Yet I got
- 35:57Speaker 6: yelled out.
- 35:57Speaker 4: You know, like I made many many more tackles than you.
- 36:03Speaker 4: I've got you in the tackle.
- 36:04Speaker 6: Departments and I grew up together in San Francisco.
- 36:06Speaker 3: It was his fault, all right. I want to close
- 36:11Speaker 3: with this.
- 36:11Speaker 2: I do want to get it in. Paul Tagliabu, Lenny
- 36:15Speaker 2: Wilkins passed over the week, and any thoughts.
- 36:18Speaker 6: Yeah, I had both of those men. I had the
- 36:20Speaker 6: privilege of knowing them and doing some things with him,
- 36:23Speaker 6: Lenny in Seattle and raising money and things like that.
- 36:27Speaker 6: And Paul was the commissioner when I was with the
- 36:29Speaker 6: Packers and so on, and he did some great things
- 36:33Speaker 6: for me, you know, and and saved me some money
- 36:38Speaker 6: because I was going to be fined for what I
- 36:40Speaker 6: said about Pittsburgh or the Super Bowl, criticizing officials, and
- 36:45Speaker 6: all the people in the New York office ran into
- 36:48Speaker 6: his office and said, you got you can't let him
- 36:50Speaker 6: get away with that. You got to find him. And
- 36:52Speaker 6: the fine would have been two hundred and fifty large,
- 36:54Speaker 6: and it was kind of it was kind of thrown
- 36:57Speaker 6: out there. And then at the league meetings he came
- 37:00Speaker 6: up and in the front of everybody, he said, I'm
- 37:03Speaker 6: not gonna I can't do that, you know. Uh, he's
- 37:06Speaker 6: been and he said some nice things about what I'd
- 37:08Speaker 6: done in the league and and Uh, I'm always thank
- 37:10Speaker 6: him for that. He was a good guy, smart and
- 37:12Speaker 6: did a lot for the league. Yeah, league really grew
- 37:16Speaker 6: with him at the Helm, There's no question about it.
- 37:19Speaker 6: Uh so yeah. So anyway, so uh Paul Tagley Boo.
- 37:23Speaker 3: Passed yesterday, but uh yeah he did.
- 37:25Speaker 2: And the officials didn't do anything wrong that day, by
- 37:28Speaker 2: the way, did they?
- 37:31Speaker 3: Is anyone listening or find my mic on? Is it on?
- 37:36Speaker 3: Is it on?
- 37:36Speaker 6: I'll just tell you and you and.
- 37:39Speaker 2: He really covered for you because they did a fine.
