- 1:39Speaker 1: The Seahawks are going to be playing in the NFC
- 1:42Speaker 1: Conference Championship Game in six days. The next win means
- 1:48Speaker 1: you are onto the super Bowl. For goodness sake, we
- 1:52Speaker 1: have got the normal Monday fanfare scheduled for you today,
- 1:57Speaker 1: but I would imagine ratchet it up a little bit
- 1:59Speaker 1: of a notch. I would imagine Hugh Millen, who's usually
- 2:02Speaker 1: revving at about an eleven on a scale from one
- 2:05Speaker 1: to ten, it's he going to register today at about
- 2:07Speaker 1: a fourteen and a half. Mike Holmgren will be with

- 2:13Speaker 1: will be ready, and then Greg Bell at seven oh five.
- 2:16Speaker 5: More coming up to.
- 2:17Speaker 1: Describe today's schedule of events, coming up with what's on
- 2:22Speaker 1: tap here in a little bit. But we welcome you
- 2:25Speaker 1: to the radio program. I have a feeling that people
- 2:28Speaker 1: in town are in a pretty good mood here for
- 2:31Speaker 1: a Monday.
- 2:31Speaker 6: I would imagine you have a much better game. I mean,
- 2:37Speaker 6: you play a division foe and just absolutely beat them down.
- 2:41Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 2:42Speaker 6: I think a lot of people were about as happy
- 2:43Speaker 6: as you could possibly be coming walking out of that
- 2:46Speaker 6: stadium or sitting at home. I know my buddy Kyle
- 2:49Speaker 6: came over and watched the game and he was quite thrilled.
- 2:52Speaker 2: Is that right?
- 2:53Speaker 6: And then I'm still kind of in recovery mode because
- 2:55Speaker 6: that night ended up going until about four am.
- 2:58Speaker 5: Oh is that right?
- 2:59Speaker 3: That was all had two wins to celebrate.
- 3:02Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, and then some round So yeah, it was
- 3:05Speaker 6: just all the way around, it was.
- 3:06Speaker 2: It was great.
- 3:07Speaker 6: I mean, if you're a Seahawk fan there, I mean,
- 3:09Speaker 6: I think it's been kind of building towards a moment
- 3:12Speaker 6: of feeling like you might have the most the best
- 3:14Speaker 6: team in the NFL playoffs. Well, after this last week,
- 3:18Speaker 6: it doesn't feel like there's really much of a debate.
- 3:20Speaker 6: You still got to go out and do it. You're
- 3:22Speaker 6: still there are two wins to get to hoist that trophy.
- 3:24Speaker 6: But yeah, there was There's no no ifens or butts.
- 3:27Speaker 6: If there is a team that is the team to beat,
- 3:30Speaker 6: it's a Seattle Sea.
- 3:31Speaker 5: I can't imagine.
- 3:32Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, you're right, you still got to win
- 3:33Speaker 1: two games and it's not going to be easy.
- 3:36Speaker 5: On Sunday.
- 3:37Speaker 1: I don't feel nearly as confident about a blowout, that's
- 3:41Speaker 1: for sure, as I did going into this past week.
- 3:45Speaker 1: But I will say that certainly, if there's any football
- 3:50Speaker 1: fan that's paid attention at all to this season and
- 3:53Speaker 1: then to this weekend, uh, that's not from LA or
- 3:59Speaker 1: New England or Denver. They're waking up this morning saying
- 4:04Speaker 1: that's the best team in the National Football League. Actually,
- 4:06Speaker 1: there's no way to not say that based on what
- 4:09Speaker 1: you saw over the weekend San Francisco, trying to prove that,
- 4:13Speaker 1: Oh man, we'll never get dominated like that again like
- 4:17Speaker 1: we did in week number eighteen. I mean, every game's new.
- 4:20Speaker 1: There's no way we'll get dominated like that. You're right,
- 4:23Speaker 1: you got dominated even more.
- 4:24Speaker 7: Yeah, it was even worse start to finish, literally start
- 4:28Speaker 7: to finish, And just from that kickoff and the electricity
- 4:32Speaker 7: in there and just it it reminded me that sorry,
- 4:36Speaker 7: Bucky plug yours. It reminded me of the Super Bowl
- 4:39Speaker 7: against the Broncos, the way that we just came out
- 4:41Speaker 7: and it was I mean there they stood no chance,
- 4:45Speaker 7: stood no chance.
- 4:46Speaker 1: Yeah, Yeah, that's that's certainly how it felt throughout the
- 4:49Speaker 1: course of the game. And I think like the tone
- 4:51Speaker 1: setting moments for each phase. I mean, the fans set
- 4:55Speaker 1: the tone obviously with the crowd and the energy. It
- 5:01Speaker 1: was the first thing that Mike McDonald pointed out in
- 5:04Speaker 1: his press conference before he said anything about.
- 5:06Speaker 5: His own team's terrific play.
- 5:08Speaker 1: He mentioned it was an atmosphere like none other that
- 5:12Speaker 1: he had ever experienced. So you set the tone from
- 5:15Speaker 1: that standpoint. Then you set the tone special teams wise
- 5:18Speaker 1: and just energy wise. When sh he takes the first
- 5:22Speaker 1: kick and returns it for ninety five yards in a touchdown.
- 5:26Speaker 1: Then the defense gets out on the football field, and
- 5:29Speaker 1: you know, we spent a lot of the week talking.
- 5:31Speaker 5: About how you know, there's no way you're going to
- 5:33Speaker 5: make Rock.
- 5:34Speaker 1: Purty, Kyle Shannan and Christian McCaffrey look as bad as
- 5:38Speaker 1: what you did the previous time that you played. And
- 5:41Speaker 1: yet very first play, DeMarcus Lawrence smacks Purty right in
- 5:45Speaker 1: the face.
- 5:46Speaker 5: Set the tone defensively.
- 5:48Speaker 1: He nearly fumbled on that very first, very first snap,
- 5:52Speaker 1: He nearly fumbles on it, and it sets the tone
- 5:56Speaker 1: for thirteen pressures on Rock Purty. What was the stat
- 5:59Speaker 1: that that he backpedaled for like five hundred yards or
- 6:04Speaker 1: total total? Mount Like, yeah, they counted his steps and
- 6:07Speaker 1: he had ran round the field for like five hundred
- 6:10Speaker 1: yards in the game, just trying to avoid seahawk pressure
- 6:13Speaker 1: throughout the course of the contest, and even offensively when
- 6:17Speaker 1: you got the ball and you ended up with just three,
- 6:21Speaker 1: but you came out there, you know there was a
- 6:23Speaker 1: balanced attack. I think it was six runs to four passes.
- 6:28Speaker 1: You moved the ball down the field. You didn't end
- 6:30Speaker 1: up scoring a touchdown on that, but you certainly set
- 6:33Speaker 1: the tone with how you wanted to play offensively, how
- 6:36Speaker 1: Sam was going to operate, despite the oblique that running
- 6:40Speaker 1: the football was going to be central to the game plan.
- 6:43Speaker 1: And you came away with points and then the next
- 6:46Speaker 1: thing you know, you're up ten to nothing. Two plays later,
- 6:49Speaker 1: you get the forced fumble. Jones pops it loose from
- 6:52Speaker 1: Pungas you get the ball back, and the route is on.
- 6:56Speaker 1: At that point, like you have set the tone in
- 6:58Speaker 1: all three phases of the game in front of your
- 7:01Speaker 1: raucous home crowd that wants to like eat the heart
- 7:05Speaker 1: out of every forty nine er fan they come across.
- 7:07Speaker 5: And from that point forward, Bucky, the route was just on.
- 7:11Speaker 6: Yeah, and you kind of felt like, okay, the well
- 7:14Speaker 6: I mean, I'm when I'm sitting watching it, it felt
- 7:16Speaker 6: like earlier than just about any game you've watched, probably
- 7:20Speaker 6: a lot like the Super Bowl, although even the Super Bowl,
- 7:23Speaker 6: I remember thinking, okay, halftime, if you come out and
- 7:26Speaker 6: you know, just totally flip the script, maybe something crazy
- 7:30Speaker 6: could happen, and then boom, the Percy Harvin you know
- 7:33Speaker 6: return happened, and immediately, just so for the entire second half,
- 7:37Speaker 6: you're like, well, this is just absolute garbage this game.
- 7:40Speaker 6: I don't know for sure if I felt that I
- 7:43Speaker 6: have ever felt like a game was going to go
- 7:45Speaker 6: in that direction sooner. And it wasn't just it was
- 7:48Speaker 6: the kickoff, but that so that that's set the tone.
- 7:51Speaker 6: And then, like you said, the way in which that
- 7:53Speaker 6: first series happened, where it was right in brock Perty's face,
- 7:57Speaker 6: but then to force them the turnover on down, then
- 8:00Speaker 6: you get down there and yeah, you only score a
- 8:02Speaker 6: field goal, but you still get points. Then the fumble,
- 8:05Speaker 6: it felt like right there at the fumble, like, uh oh,
- 8:07Speaker 6: if you.
- 8:08Speaker 2: Let him score here, it's over.
- 8:10Speaker 6: And sure enough they went down there quick and in
- 8:12Speaker 6: a hurry, got that second touchdown, and then you're just like,
- 8:14Speaker 6: this is it just they didn't let up either. It
- 8:17Speaker 6: just kind of kept doing the same thing. It was
- 8:19Speaker 6: a It was a masterclass in how you put somebody down,
- 8:23Speaker 6: especially a division rival.
- 8:24Speaker 1: Yet on that touchdown drive, I mean, Donald got crushed
- 8:28Speaker 1: by Mustafa and we went in like we we set that.
- 8:33Speaker 1: Everybody knew that we were gonna like, get up Sam
- 8:35Speaker 1: that yeah, you were gonna be you were gonna wonder
- 8:39Speaker 1: every weird hit, every weird angled throw that is Sam
- 8:45Speaker 1: gonna aggravate anything. And he gets crushed and it looked
- 8:48Speaker 1: like he was in a lot of pain. And you,
- 8:50Speaker 1: I mean it had to cross your mind. Ye i'n
- 8:53Speaker 1: put words or thoughts and anybody said, but when Mustafa
- 8:56Speaker 1: hit him on that ten yard sack after getting the
- 8:59Speaker 1: ball back on the fune, well you had to think, tos,
- 9:01Speaker 1: oh gosh, did we just lose our quarterback? I know
- 9:03Speaker 1: I did, yeah. And then he rallies very next throw
- 9:08Speaker 1: twenty one yards, zips it to cup and it's like.
- 9:10Speaker 5: Oh, okay, yeah, he's tough. We don't have to worry
- 9:14Speaker 5: about that right now.
- 9:15Speaker 1: And then even the touchdown passed the JSN the four
- 9:18Speaker 1: yards I mean that is you know, running against your
- 9:21Speaker 1: body and throwing from a different angle and just throws
- 9:24Speaker 1: an absolute dime in the back of the end zone
- 9:27Speaker 1: and at that stage, seventeen to nothing, you know, minute
- 9:32Speaker 1: and fifty left in the first quarter, and you've pretty
- 9:35Speaker 1: much answered every single thing that we discussed during the
- 9:41Speaker 1: course of the week that not only were you going
- 9:44Speaker 1: to be better than the forty nine ers at everything
- 9:48Speaker 1: Saturday night, you were going to dominate them in every phase.
- 9:51Speaker 5: And that's exactly what happened.
- 9:52Speaker 3: Yeah, it was.
- 9:53Speaker 7: It was really impressive, and I think a lot of
- 9:55Speaker 7: people would look at well, I know a lot of
- 9:56Speaker 7: people have looked at Sam darnold stat line and said, well,
- 9:59Speaker 7: you know only through for one hundred and twenty four years.
- 10:01Speaker 5: Well, if anybody does that, they're silly, right.
- 10:03Speaker 7: Because but that was I mean, if you were on
- 10:05Speaker 7: social media yesterday or after the game, there was a
- 10:08Speaker 7: lot oh Sam Donald, Sam Darnald, he.
- 10:10Speaker 3: Did what needed to be done.
- 10:11Speaker 7: Like that's all that matters, right, You You had a
- 10:14Speaker 7: solid run game and a solid defense, so you take
- 10:17Speaker 7: what the other team gives you, and they did. They
- 10:19Speaker 7: were that was the perfect example. Okay, well we'll just
- 10:22Speaker 7: run all over you. That's fine.
- 10:24Speaker 1: I mean, boy, and this feels like Mariner season all
- 10:26Speaker 1: over again. I mean, if you're just sitting there, just
- 10:28Speaker 1: still ripping on Sam Donald, then you just can't admit
- 10:31Speaker 1: you're dumb.
- 10:32Speaker 3: Well that's probably true too, or wrong.
- 10:34Speaker 5: Maybe not dumb, maybe dumb's wrong, wrong, but just wrong.
- 10:37Speaker 1: I mean, twelve for seventeen hundred and twenty four yards
- 10:41Speaker 1: a touchdown, did not commit a turnover.
- 10:42Speaker 3: Yeah, which has been things we want.
- 10:44Speaker 5: Topic of conversation. I mean, you won by thirty five points.
- 10:48Speaker 1: There's no way that Mike McDonald's gonna say, well, we
- 10:51Speaker 1: don't want that stat line to look low in the
- 10:53Speaker 1: passing yards department for Sam Darnald.
- 10:56Speaker 5: No, you're up seventeen to nothing.
- 10:58Speaker 1: You're going to do what it takes to win the
- 11:00Speaker 1: game and then not put people at risk exactly as
- 11:04Speaker 1: much as you possibly can. The rest of the way,
- 11:06Speaker 1: Sam Darnold played an excellent game. He got he did
- 11:09Speaker 1: exactly what you would want him to do in that situation.
- 11:13Speaker 6: Yeah, Saturday, Well, to me, the thing that I think
- 11:16Speaker 6: is the most encouraging is that it wasn't like they
- 11:20Speaker 6: just said, Okay, we're really scared that you're going to
- 11:23Speaker 6: commit a turnover and so we're gonna just Dink and
- 11:25Speaker 6: Doune that Jackson Smith and Jigma the one to put
- 11:28Speaker 6: him up seventeen zip. Yeah was I mean Jackson Smith
- 11:32Speaker 6: and Jigba said afterwards he was surprised he threw it
- 11:34Speaker 6: to him because of how well he was covered. I mean,
- 11:37Speaker 6: or the guy was following, he was trailing him. There,
- 11:40Speaker 6: there wasn't a huge window. He's going across his body,
- 11:43Speaker 6: the rusher's coming right in his face. I kind of thought,
- 11:45Speaker 6: like the timing of it, he's probably just throw this
- 11:47Speaker 6: thing out of the back of the end zone and
- 11:49Speaker 6: instead he shoots a dart in the back of the
- 11:52Speaker 6: end zone across his body. That's one of those Okay,
- 11:55Speaker 6: we need you to at times stuff it in the
- 11:57Speaker 6: mailbox and make it happen. He did exactly that, but
- 12:01Speaker 6: he didn't do anything risky because he does understand he's
- 12:04Speaker 6: not making rookie mistakes usually where he's trying to force
- 12:09Speaker 6: it into a situation when the scoreboard or the field
- 12:12Speaker 6: position dictates that you shouldn't.
- 12:13Speaker 2: It was the exact opposite.
- 12:14Speaker 6: He did it when he needed to the other times
- 12:16Speaker 6: he didn't, or he just handed the ball off. And basically,
- 12:19Speaker 6: when you're dominating in all phases. Just manage the game
- 12:22Speaker 6: and then make the plays every once in a while
- 12:24Speaker 6: that you have to make.
- 12:24Speaker 2: That's exactly what it called for. And he answered the
- 12:26Speaker 2: bell if you if people.
- 12:27Speaker 6: Want to still go down that path, they are they're
- 12:30Speaker 6: just haters and they just they're not going to admit
- 12:32Speaker 6: that they're wrong.
- 12:33Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly. And and so I mean that's the way
- 12:36Speaker 1: you wanted to unfold. Yeah, you want to be able
- 12:38Speaker 1: to run the ball so effectively that you don't even
- 12:42Speaker 1: put the ball, it's.
- 12:43Speaker 3: Just a bonus whatever. Yeah, whatever Donald's doing.
- 12:46Speaker 5: Put put the ball in harm's way. Plus he had
- 12:49Speaker 5: an injury.
- 12:49Speaker 3: Coming exactly, So that's what you're trying to keep him healthy.
- 12:51Speaker 5: Which was no secret to anyone.
- 12:53Speaker 1: And so Sam Darnold's out there, I mean they he
- 12:57Speaker 1: didn't look affected by it, but certainly it was part
- 13:01Speaker 1: of the game plan.
- 13:01Speaker 5: If we can get through this game, will a win.
- 13:04Speaker 1: And not and try to put Sam at as little
- 13:07Speaker 1: risk as possible.
- 13:08Speaker 5: That's ideal for us.
- 13:10Speaker 1: And I mean it was an ideal performance under the
- 13:13Speaker 1: circumstances for Sam Darnold and the Seahawks offense.
- 13:18Speaker 5: So yeah, not really anything that went wrong.
- 13:21Speaker 1: I mean, I guess it did get I mean, you
- 13:24Speaker 1: did give rise to the thought that, man, sometimes adrenaline
- 13:29Speaker 1: is a wonderful thing in sports. But as Tom Brady
- 13:34Speaker 1: I thought rightfully pointed out when San Francisco kicked the
- 13:38Speaker 1: two field goals and made it seventeen to six, and
- 13:41Speaker 1: he said, man, if you can.
- 13:43Speaker 5: Get into the locker room.
- 13:46Speaker 1: At seventeen to six when you have taken the greatest
- 13:49Speaker 1: punch that you can take from another team, I mean
- 13:52Speaker 1: that first quarter, the kick return and the swarming defense,
- 13:56Speaker 1: and the offense was not performing at a record pace
- 14:02Speaker 1: but was doing the job, and you were running the football.
- 14:05Speaker 1: And Tom Brady pointed out, man, if you I mean,
- 14:07Speaker 1: that's that's as great a punch as you can take.
- 14:10Speaker 1: And if you can get up off the canvas and
- 14:13Speaker 1: then you can get to your corner for the standing
- 14:15Speaker 1: eight count at halftime and you've got a little bit
- 14:18Speaker 1: of momentum, you put points on the board, and you
- 14:21Speaker 1: can keep this at seventeen to six, you know, make
- 14:25Speaker 1: a couple of adjustments at halftime, and who knows what happens.
- 14:27Speaker 1: And I think Kyle Shannan was thinking that way as well.
- 14:30Speaker 1: But then when the Seahawks got the ball back and
- 14:33Speaker 1: went into two minute drill mode and scored that touchdown.
- 14:37Speaker 5: I mean even Shanahan admitted like that was pretty much it.
- 14:40Speaker 1: Yeah, that they even the forty nine ers knew like
- 14:44Speaker 1: there was a shot. Maybe we had a shot, you know,
- 14:48Speaker 1: we could just get to the halftime seventeen to six
- 14:51Speaker 1: without giving them the momentum. But when they scored that
- 14:54Speaker 1: touchdown at the end of second half, I think even
- 14:57Speaker 1: the forty nine ers will put the white.
- 15:00Speaker 2: Yeah, you're probably right.
- 15:01Speaker 6: I mean, watching it home, it felt like the dominant
- 15:04Speaker 6: dominant started right off the kickoff. But I think, yeah,
- 15:06Speaker 6: they're probably if there really was a time when it ended,
- 15:10Speaker 6: when it might have felt like you broke their will.
- 15:12Speaker 6: It probably is that little order of events because they
- 15:15Speaker 6: they'd kicked the finally got on the board, and yet
- 15:18Speaker 6: seventeen three you're like nothing that next drive, they were
- 15:21Speaker 6: moving the ball until that time out, and then you're like, Okay,
- 15:25Speaker 6: if they scored a touchdown there it's seventeen to ten,
- 15:27Speaker 6: you do now have yourself a ballgame.
- 15:30Speaker 2: Uh.
- 15:30Speaker 6: And yet for the fact they scored, they held them
- 15:33Speaker 6: to that field goal, and then the Seahawks just drove
- 15:37Speaker 6: down the field, Like you said in that two minut
- 15:38Speaker 6: offense and made it twenty four to six. That's probably
- 15:41Speaker 6: when the teams actually recognized that, Okay, we were putting
- 15:44Speaker 6: a whooping on these guys and the other and they
- 15:46Speaker 6: were like, can you please stop whooping us?
- 15:48Speaker 3: And I was like, please continue to whip them.
- 15:50Speaker 5: Don't stop whooping.
- 15:52Speaker 1: No, don't show away, won't say ah, man want an
- 15:57Speaker 1: impressive performance. Forty one to six. I mean you referenced
- 16:02Speaker 1: buckets hated Super Bowl. You won by as much thirty
- 16:05Speaker 1: five points?
- 16:05Speaker 5: Is that game? Yeah?
- 16:07Speaker 7: You know, but that's honestly how it felt, kind of
- 16:10Speaker 7: like just like they didn't have a chance.
- 16:12Speaker 5: Thirty five points.
- 16:13Speaker 1: That mean that tied the franchise record for largest deficits.
- 16:17Speaker 1: So the Seahawks certainly dominate things on Saturday night. Forty
- 16:22Speaker 1: one to six is the final score, and they are
- 16:25Speaker 1: moving on to the NFC Conference Championship game, where they
- 16:28Speaker 1: will take on the Rams, who did pull it out
- 16:31Speaker 1: last night in frigid Chicago twenty to seventeen in overtime.
- 16:37Speaker 5: Crazy game.
- 16:38Speaker 1: There just crazy that, Caleb Williams, I mean you just thought, ah,
- 16:42Speaker 1: the Bears are beaten, which I felt for like their
- 16:44Speaker 1: last twenty two games in a row. Yeah, and somehow
- 16:48Speaker 1: they figure out a way to get the ball back,
- 16:50Speaker 1: tie the game up, send it overtime. You were sure
- 16:53Speaker 1: at that stage they had all the momentum, they got
- 16:55Speaker 1: home field advantage, they got the ball in their hands,
- 16:58Speaker 1: and then DJ Moore for whatever reason, stopped running his
- 17:01Speaker 1: route and Cam curl. How many great defensive interceptions? How
- 17:06Speaker 1: many great interceptions were there over the weekend?
- 17:08Speaker 8: A lot?
- 17:09Speaker 6: Unreal, Yeah, going after it and making those diving plays
- 17:13Speaker 6: where there was I mean, typically you see those guys
- 17:15Speaker 6: clank it. You know, that's why they're DB's or if
- 17:18Speaker 6: that's what people say is because they can't catch. Well,
- 17:20Speaker 6: you don't tell a few of them that this weekend,
- 17:22Speaker 6: because they made some unbelievable and at the most crucial
- 17:25Speaker 6: times when your team needs I mean, the Broncos had one,
- 17:28Speaker 6: and that one's going to be fun to debate, but
- 17:30Speaker 6: that there's that one, like the most crucial times when
- 17:34Speaker 6: your team absolutely needed it in overtime, unbelievable.
- 17:37Speaker 7: And that Crow one too the way that I mean
- 17:38Speaker 7: because when he went to the ground, he didn't really
- 17:41Speaker 7: have the control of it, and then he you know,
- 17:43Speaker 7: had the wherewithal to still grab it and hold on
- 17:46Speaker 7: to it and I was.
- 17:46Speaker 1: Like, man, well to get to his back so they
- 17:48Speaker 1: didn't touch the ground. I mean, it was phenomenal. Yeah,
- 17:51Speaker 1: you know, wide receiver makes that play and it's.
- 17:54Speaker 3: It's it's number one on sports sets, number one for.
- 17:57Speaker 5: A defensive back to make that play.
- 17:59Speaker 1: In the ice and snow who read the route better
- 18:02Speaker 1: than the receiver?
- 18:03Speaker 5: Yeah, the number one receiver on the Bears team. Unbelievable.
- 18:07Speaker 1: That got the Carlton Davis from the Patriots making that
- 18:10Speaker 1: catch up with gotten a knee down. It was Yeah,
- 18:14Speaker 1: it was quite the showcase of defensive backs making picks
- 18:17Speaker 1: over the weekend.
- 18:19Speaker 2: UH.
- 18:19Speaker 1: And we'll try to talk about as much of it
- 18:20Speaker 1: as we possibly can. Let's find out what is on
- 18:23Speaker 1: tap for the rest of the show.
- 18:27Speaker 5: What's on tip? What's untip? Got that dirty Panero? By
- 18:31Speaker 5: the way, that sliding kick? Oh yeah, dirty?
- 18:37Speaker 2: Yeah?
- 18:37Speaker 5: What the hell do you think's going on out there?
- 18:39Speaker 8: Yeah?
- 18:39Speaker 3: I don't know what was happening there, dirty Panero?
- 18:42Speaker 6: The fifteen yards that he's there, everybody that cheers for
- 18:45Speaker 6: San Frans wishing he was better at slide tackling.
- 18:49Speaker 2: That's true.
- 18:50Speaker 7: Uh.
- 18:50Speaker 1: Seahawks win at forty one to six. Over the forty
- 18:52Speaker 1: nine ers. We will celebrate it with Monday Morning Quarterbacks
- 18:56Speaker 1: seven oh five. Greg Bell will be joining US Hugh
- 18:58Speaker 1: Millon from eight to ten today and Mike Holmgren will
- 19:01Speaker 1: join Hugh and us from nine to ten to discuss
- 19:05Speaker 1: not just the win, but also what's next. As we'll
- 19:08Speaker 1: dive right in to the NFC Conference Championship matchup. Zach
- 19:13Speaker 1: Charboney left with a knee injury. Charles Cross left with
- 19:16Speaker 1: an injury as well during Saturday night's game, but it
- 19:20Speaker 1: sounds like good reports on both of them that Cross
- 19:23Speaker 1: was taken out just because it was a blowout and
- 19:25Speaker 1: more of a precaution, and Sharbonay, who looked like his
- 19:29Speaker 1: season was over. It looked like one of those kind
- 19:31Speaker 1: of injuries, and yet they were saying afterwards no structural damage.
- 19:36Speaker 1: So Zach Sharbonay, who knows, might be ready to go
- 19:40Speaker 1: Sunday against the Rams. We'll ask Greg Bell about that
- 19:43Speaker 1: coming up at seven to five. That will be the
- 19:47Speaker 1: three to three or three point thirty matchup. On Sunday,
- 19:50Speaker 1: Seahawks will host LA for the NFC Championship. Twenty to seventeen.
- 19:55Speaker 1: The final Rams over the Bears in overtime. New England
- 19:57Speaker 1: beat Houston twenty eight to sixteen on a day that
- 20:01Speaker 1: not only were the Texans eliminated from the playoffs, they
- 20:04Speaker 1: have to spend a lot of time wondering do we
- 20:07Speaker 1: have the right quarterback in our organization. We'll talk about
- 20:11Speaker 1: that with cold Turkey Sandwich coming up at six thirty.
- 20:15Speaker 1: The Bills ousted again prematurely in the NFL playoffs. They
- 20:19Speaker 1: lose thirty three to thirty in overtime to the Denver Broncos.
- 20:23Speaker 1: All sorts of things to discuss from that game, and then,
- 20:26Speaker 1: of course, the shocking announcement shortly thereafter. I thought it
- 20:31Speaker 1: was a hoax. I thought it was like Adam Schefter's
- 20:33Speaker 1: fake count bo Nicks out for the rest of the playoffs.
- 20:38Speaker 1: He broke his ankle late in that contest, finished the
- 20:41Speaker 1: game with a broken ankle, but is not going to
- 20:44Speaker 1: take another snap this year. So it's Jared Stidham who
- 20:47Speaker 1: will start the AFC Championship game for the Broncos at
- 20:51Speaker 1: home against the Patriots at noon on Sunday. The National
- 20:55Speaker 1: Championship of College Football will be played tonight. Indiana and
- 20:59Speaker 1: Miami meet, finally bringing this long college football season to
- 21:03Speaker 1: an end. They will kick off from Miami at four
- 21:06Speaker 1: point thirty this evening. We will discuss it a little
- 21:08Speaker 1: bit later on in the show. College Basketball. UDUB was
- 21:11Speaker 1: crushed by Michigan State on Saturday, and it doesn't get
- 21:15Speaker 1: any easier.
- 21:17Speaker 5: This Wednesday, they'll be at Nebraska.
- 21:19Speaker 1: Now, if you're thinking to yourself, well, Asherby, at least
- 21:22Speaker 1: we're not facing Michigan or Michigan State. No, Nebraska is undefeated,
- 21:25Speaker 1: perfect and are probably going to be ranked in the
- 21:28Speaker 1: top four heading into that game, as we'll find out
- 21:32Speaker 1: the rankings today. So that's the matchup. Next matchup for
- 21:36Speaker 1: Danny Sprinkle and the Dogs on Wednesday. Kraken are playing
- 21:39Speaker 1: today at two pm. It is Martin Luther King Day,
- 21:43Speaker 1: So Happy Martin Luther King Day to everyone as we
- 21:45Speaker 1: honor the great Martin Luther King here today.
- 21:48Speaker 5: The Hockey League will do it. The NBA will do
- 21:51Speaker 5: it as well.
- 21:52Speaker 1: That's why you have a two pm afternoon game Cracking
- 21:55Speaker 1: taking on the Penguins at Climate Pledge Arena. Meanwhile, the
- 21:58Speaker 1: NBA has a full slate today getting started at ten am.
- 22:02Speaker 1: It always starts in Atlanta, so it'll be the Bucks
- 22:04Speaker 1: at Atlanta to take on the Hawks, and it's on NBC.
- 22:08Speaker 1: NBC's got the entire day of coverage. With the new
- 22:12Speaker 1: television deal, it's no longer Ernie Charles and the Gang.
- 22:17Speaker 1: It's NBC that will host things on Martin Luther King
- 22:21Speaker 1: Day and again that gets started at ten am. Coming
- 22:24Speaker 1: up next Cold Turkey Sandwich. We'll go through all the
- 22:27Speaker 1: other three games in the NFL playoffs this past weekend
- 22:30Speaker 1: on Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM.
- 22:35Speaker 5: So that a third down on the weven that one
- 22:37Speaker 5: of the gun gets a snap, let's coming. Allen back pedals,
- 22:40Speaker 5: he's looking hastip go and teeth tell the little Brandon
- 22:43Speaker 5: Cooks is.
- 22:43Speaker 8: There and he could not make the catch and the
- 22:48Speaker 8: pass is intercepted.
- 22:50Speaker 5: It's picked off.
- 22:51Speaker 8: By Jake one McMillan. What a play by McMillan who
- 22:56Speaker 8: intercepted at the Denver's twenty yard law add up Bills
- 23:01Speaker 8: turn it over for a fifth time of the game.
- 23:08Speaker 9: West Wood one, west Wood one, Yeah, Westwood one, west
- 23:10Speaker 9: Wood one on the call. There a good call, Denver
- 23:14Speaker 9: Broncos winning over the Buffalo Bills by a final score
- 23:16Speaker 9: of thirty three to thirty. Before we dive into Cold
- 23:20Speaker 9: Turkey sandwich.
- 23:21Speaker 5: Take a bite out of it.
- 23:22Speaker 1: Our board of scores across the National Football League. Speaking
- 23:26Speaker 1: of the Buffalo Bills, according to Adam Schefter, they have
- 23:28Speaker 1: fired head coach Sean McDermott this morning, and so the
- 23:32Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills will be added to the teams looking for
- 23:35Speaker 1: a new head coach.
- 23:36Speaker 5: I don't know if we're gonna have time talk about
- 23:38Speaker 5: this today.
- 23:38Speaker 1: I might have to hold off the Shark coachery board
- 23:41Speaker 1: until tomorrow. But Sean McDermott is out as head coach
- 23:45Speaker 1: of the Buffalo Bills. All right, let's talk about these games.
- 23:50Speaker 1: Cold turkey sandwich. A board of scores. The Denver Broncos
- 23:54Speaker 1: thirty three to thirty winners over the Buffalo Bills in overtime.
- 23:58Speaker 1: The highlight was of that controversial interception. And what makes
- 24:02Speaker 1: it even more controversial is the DeVante Adams had a
- 24:06Speaker 1: pretty similar play last night, and the rules official said, oh.
- 24:11Speaker 5: That's very obvious and clear.
- 24:13Speaker 1: That is knee is down before the ball is stripped
- 24:17Speaker 1: out of his hands, and so, okay, I can see
- 24:21Speaker 1: the difference, but I'm not sure if I was a
- 24:23Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills.
- 24:24Speaker 5: Fan, I'd be able to see the difference.
- 24:26Speaker 6: Oh, I'm pretty sure that they are never going to
- 24:29Speaker 6: see the difference and somewhat understandable to me, it was
- 24:33Speaker 6: not the rooting interest. It's one thing I actually feel
- 24:35Speaker 6: like I do well, Like if there's a PI and
- 24:39Speaker 6: we'll be the judge of that.
- 24:40Speaker 2: Yeah, that's fine.
- 24:41Speaker 6: If there's a pass interference called on the team, I'm
- 24:45Speaker 6: usually one of those like I can see how that
- 24:47Speaker 6: was PI, right, I just don't typically go to no,
- 24:50Speaker 6: you know, crying over spilled milk.
- 24:52Speaker 2: That was one where I'm like, what was he down?
- 24:54Speaker 6: Because he caught it and then they went to the ground,
- 24:57Speaker 6: and then in the rollover process the.
- 25:02Speaker 2: Broncos dB ends up stealing it from him.
- 25:05Speaker 6: And yet I'm sitting there thinking about it, talking to
- 25:06Speaker 6: Buddy Kyle, like, well, if he just would have stripped
- 25:09Speaker 6: it out there right and it went flying and it was,
- 25:13Speaker 6: then they would have called it incomplete. So I guess
- 25:15Speaker 6: if that still is part of it, right where if
- 25:19Speaker 6: you got to go all the way through basically stopping
- 25:22Speaker 6: to complete the catch, yea, then if you take it
- 25:25Speaker 6: in the process of completing the catch, then you would
- 25:27Speaker 6: think that it counts. And yet yes, then last night
- 25:30Speaker 6: you see the DeVante Adams, and it's like, Okay, there's
- 25:33Speaker 6: a little difference.
- 25:34Speaker 1: A little difference, a bit whiskers difference, But I do
- 25:37Speaker 1: recognize it. I do recognize the difference. I frankly think
- 25:41Speaker 1: both were the right calls. I did not have a problem.
- 25:46Speaker 1: You know, you have to complete the catch. That's the
- 25:48Speaker 1: way that it worked. Brandon Cooks knew it. I mean,
- 25:51Speaker 1: Brandon Cooks knew that he wasn't going to get that call.
- 25:53Speaker 1: You could see him demoralized on the field. But I
- 25:56Speaker 1: do have and I hope this is consistent with the
- 25:59Speaker 1: way that I I've treated this my entire career on
- 26:03Speaker 1: radio in ten years here at Seattle Man. I hate
- 26:07Speaker 1: when the officials put themselves that much. I did not
- 26:11Speaker 1: like either of the interference calls, even though I think
- 26:14Speaker 1: they were right calls on the last drive. To me,
- 26:18Speaker 1: if I'm an official, I'm not letting my call win
- 26:21Speaker 1: a game for a team. And they got what fifty
- 26:24Speaker 1: five yards of pass interference penalties to put them right
- 26:28Speaker 1: on the doorstep. I mean, we just one thing is
- 26:32Speaker 1: very clear about this weekend. None of the officials, none
- 26:35Speaker 1: of the rules analysts, know how to call pass interference.
- 26:38Speaker 1: Still to this day, I mean, Gene, even Gene. We
- 26:41Speaker 1: love Gene.
- 26:41Speaker 5: I think he's amazing.
- 26:43Speaker 1: He told me that the hand fighting that went down
- 26:47Speaker 1: in that old Miss Miami game where the guy rode
- 26:50Speaker 1: him and had his jersey and at the collar for
- 26:55Speaker 1: seven yards, writing, now you let that one go. We're
- 26:59Speaker 1: looking for were whales, not menos here. Those weren't whale penalties.
- 27:05Speaker 1: Those were not whale penalties. The two they were pass interference.
- 27:09Speaker 1: But if we're gonna call it by the letter of
- 27:11Speaker 1: the law at that crucial of a time, then let's
- 27:14Speaker 1: go back to the Brandon Cook's play.
- 27:16Speaker 5: Because McMillan was there early. He actually interfered with him
- 27:19Speaker 5: before Cooks did or didn't make the catch.
- 27:24Speaker 1: I've got a huge problem with the officials basically saying I'm.
- 27:29Speaker 5: Going to make the biggest play of the game right here. Well,
- 27:31Speaker 5: and it was huge.
- 27:32Speaker 7: I actually sent Gene a text at the end of
- 27:34Speaker 7: that Denver Bills game because the the I can't I
- 27:38Speaker 7: can't remember which of the pass interference calls it was,
- 27:41Speaker 7: but the receiver, the ball was underthrown a bit. The receiver,
- 27:45Speaker 7: you know, came back to draw almost the pass interference call.
- 27:50Speaker 3: And we talked about that with Gene a couple of weeks.
- 27:52Speaker 7: Ago that there was a play like that that It's like, well,
- 27:55Speaker 7: are they kind of setting themselves up just for the
- 27:57Speaker 7: pass interference?
- 27:58Speaker 3: It's like, oh, underthrown a little bit, I'll come back, we'll.
- 28:00Speaker 1: Get the call. I'm telling you Sean Payton did that
- 28:03Speaker 1: on purpose. Yeah, Sean Payton, they always short to intermediate.
- 28:07Speaker 1: He's like, let's throw three jump balls down the sides
- 28:10Speaker 1: and see if I can't get these affair. Yeah, that's
- 28:15Speaker 1: that's what it felt like. And kudos to Sean Payton.
- 28:18Speaker 1: As Matt Hasselback told us wednesday, scout your officials. He
- 28:21Speaker 1: probably knew he had officials that love to throw PI flags. Probably,
- 28:25Speaker 1: I don't know, but I do, Bucky. I know you'll disagree,
- 28:28Speaker 1: but I do have a problem with the officials making
- 28:30Speaker 1: themselves that big of a part of that crucial part
- 28:33Speaker 1: of a game, and that.
- 28:34Speaker 5: Big of a game.
- 28:35Speaker 6: Well, I just I mean, I want it to be
- 28:37Speaker 6: called the way that it should be called, regardless of
- 28:41Speaker 6: the time of the game. And I hear what you're saying.
- 28:43Speaker 6: It sucks when all of a sudden, like just imagine
- 28:45Speaker 6: being a Bills fan. You watch that whole game and
- 28:47Speaker 6: then it comes down to a flag. Well, if you're
- 28:51Speaker 6: regardless of diehard Bills fan or not. To me, we
- 28:53Speaker 6: we ended up kind of talking about it, and it's
- 28:55Speaker 6: the if a guy is right on you, and then
- 28:59Speaker 6: there's like if the coverage is perfect, and then there's
- 29:03Speaker 6: hand fighting and stuff like, but you're in his back pocket.
- 29:05Speaker 6: I don't think that should be called if you're trying
- 29:08Speaker 6: to play catch up. And that's what makes me in
- 29:10Speaker 6: a dB difficult. If you got beat by a step
- 29:13Speaker 6: and now you're doing that reaching out, grabbing arms and
- 29:16Speaker 6: so a guy can only put one arm up because
- 29:19Speaker 6: you're scuffling, that's trying to get back in the play,
- 29:22Speaker 6: then that needs to be thrown, regardless of when it
- 29:24Speaker 6: happens in my opinion. Now, the bad thing about that
- 29:27Speaker 6: is if you're behind the guy and they do what
- 29:30Speaker 6: the first one that bo Nick's he threw that thing
- 29:32Speaker 6: way higher on purpose for sure, And I think that
- 29:35Speaker 6: you should have a play like I kind of need
- 29:37Speaker 6: a PI here so you get going down the field.
- 29:40Speaker 6: If you can get on top of him, I'm gonna
- 29:42Speaker 6: under throw it somewhat so you slow down he runs
- 29:43Speaker 6: India Boom, We're gonna get thirty yards. I think that
- 29:46Speaker 6: there is probably people that do that and it's a
- 29:48Speaker 6: smart play to have. But to me, I call it
- 29:50Speaker 6: the correct way, even if it ends up being something
- 29:53Speaker 6: that is controversial simply because of the time.
- 29:56Speaker 1: Oh, I don't feel that way. I want the players
- 29:58Speaker 1: to decide it. I want a I want you to
- 30:01Speaker 1: get a catch on separation, and I want an accurate
- 30:04Speaker 1: throw and I want to catch with two feet in
- 30:07Speaker 1: it pounds. If we're gonna call that, we gotta call
- 30:10Speaker 1: you gotta tackle them.
- 30:12Speaker 5: You got, I mean, you got.
- 30:13Speaker 1: It's got to be So if that Miami Ole miss
- 30:16Speaker 1: game at the end was not obvious and if you remember,
- 30:19Speaker 1: I said, okay, I like it when they swallow the whistle. Yeah,
- 30:23Speaker 1: but if ever you're gonna call it, you're calling it
- 30:25Speaker 1: on that and Jean said, nope, I wouldn't call that. Well,
- 30:28Speaker 1: if you're not calling that one, you're not calling those
- 30:30Speaker 1: two penalties down the stretch. And if you are gonna
- 30:33Speaker 1: call those two penalties, then you got to call the
- 30:35Speaker 1: one on McMillan against Cooks, because that was p I
- 30:38Speaker 1: before it was ever a controversial interception. He ran into
- 30:43Speaker 1: him and affected his ability to catch the football.
- 30:46Speaker 5: Without question, without question.
- 30:50Speaker 1: Yeah, So anyway, Broncos win the game thirty three to thirty.
- 30:55Speaker 1: Find out afterwards bo Nick's injured and won't get to
- 30:57Speaker 1: play in the next round. We'll be talking about this
- 30:59Speaker 1: with Gene tomorrow, can't wait, and we'll try to find
- 31:02Speaker 1: some time later on the show. The rest of the
- 31:05Speaker 1: scoreboard Rams went over the Bears last night, twenty to seventeen.
- 31:08Speaker 1: We've already talked about that one a little bit, So
- 31:10Speaker 1: let's jump over to the Patriots and Texans. Tremendous defense
- 31:14Speaker 1: on display in a really sloppy weather game. The New
- 31:17Speaker 1: England Patriots win by twelve, twenty eight to sixteen over
- 31:20Speaker 1: the Houston Texans. Even a bigger part of this loss
- 31:25Speaker 1: for Houston. You're out of the playoffs. They got to
- 31:27Speaker 1: think long and hard about whether or not CJ. Stroud's
- 31:30Speaker 1: going to be their quarterback for the future. He looked terrified.
- 31:34Speaker 1: He didn't step into a throw the entire day. He
- 31:37Speaker 1: acted like he was going to get hit at any moment.
- 31:39Speaker 1: His throws were inaccurate because he was fearful. He looked
- 31:44Speaker 1: like a deer in the headlights. And I don't know
- 31:47Speaker 1: if that's from his big hit that he took earlier
- 31:49Speaker 1: this year and he's still not recovered from it. But
- 31:52Speaker 1: Matt Liinert did this with the Arizona Cardinals. Came out
- 31:55Speaker 1: of the gates as a rookie like looking like, oh
- 31:58Speaker 1: my gosh, we got some special and then he played
- 32:01Speaker 1: a Monday night game against the Bears, got the tar
- 32:04Speaker 1: knocked out of him and was never the same quarterback again.
- 32:07Speaker 5: I don't know if that's what's happened to CJ. Stroud.
- 32:10Speaker 1: He was looking like as good a rookie quarterback as
- 32:12Speaker 1: we've ever seen in NFL history, and he just keeps
- 32:15Speaker 1: getting progressively worse. Yesterday he was a disaster. They should
- 32:21Speaker 1: have benched him for Davis Mills. They would have been
- 32:24Speaker 1: smarter to go to Davis Mills in the middle of
- 32:27Speaker 1: the second quarter. That's how scared CJ. Stroud looked on
- 32:30Speaker 1: the football.
- 32:31Speaker 6: He was rattled for sure, and he made multiple questionable
- 32:35Speaker 6: or questionable decisions and throws. Then he also wasn't helped.
- 32:39Speaker 6: There was multiple drops. There was one of them that
- 32:41Speaker 6: basically went right through his receiver's hands and then turned
- 32:44Speaker 6: into a pick. I think that if you're rattled right,
- 32:46Speaker 6: if you're not working at premium, peak confidence level. Any
- 32:51Speaker 6: little thing all of a sudden feels way bigger. Right
- 32:54Speaker 6: Whereas when you're rocking and rolling, the team's doing great,
- 32:57Speaker 6: even when you make a mistake, your defense picks you up.
- 33:00Speaker 6: It's that idea of, you know, an O for four
- 33:02Speaker 6: doesn't feel as bad when you win that type of
- 33:03Speaker 6: a thing. He looked like he is in a giant
- 33:05Speaker 6: slump and nothing was going to pull him out of it.
- 33:08Speaker 6: And they have a decision to make whether or not
- 33:09Speaker 6: they want him to be their franchise Dude, I think
- 33:11Speaker 6: it s it's time for them to pony up. And
- 33:14Speaker 6: it's like, based on that performance, you don't want to
- 33:16Speaker 6: sign him to what some giant, you know, first big
- 33:19Speaker 6: contract after you know, reaching free agency.
- 33:21Speaker 5: Well, let's put it this way. They've got a whole year.
- 33:24Speaker 1: They've got this offseason to decide whether or not they're
- 33:26Speaker 1: going to pick up the fifth year. The Carolina Panthers
- 33:29Speaker 1: have already announced the Bryce Young, we're picking up the
- 33:31Speaker 1: fifth year. You got to decide that this offseason. So
- 33:35Speaker 1: we're going to pick up the fifth year. And it's
- 33:38Speaker 1: not like Bryce Young's been great, but that was that
- 33:41Speaker 1: obvious to them. The day after they were eliminated. We're
- 33:44Speaker 1: picking that up. I don't think it's that easy for Houston,
- 33:47Speaker 1: not after what we saw here down the stretch because CJ.
- 33:52Speaker 5: Stroud.
- 33:52Speaker 1: I don't Davis Mills looked better than c J. Stroud
- 33:56Speaker 1: during this winning streak. So we'll see the decision that's
- 34:00Speaker 1: going to be made there this offseason.
- 34:02Speaker 5: All right, there's your cold turkey SAMs. We got. There's
- 34:05Speaker 5: so much more to.
- 34:05Speaker 1: Talk about all of this stuff, and we'll try to
- 34:07Speaker 1: find some time today. If not, we've got the entire
- 34:09Speaker 1: week to do it. But coming up next, Coach Bucky
- 34:12Speaker 1: pays a visit on Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM.
- 34:15Speaker 1: Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM, and we have
- 34:18Speaker 1: a great host of legendary guests coming your way. Greg
- 34:22Speaker 1: Beller Sehawks Insider at seven oh five, Hugh millin with
- 34:25Speaker 1: Monday Morning Quarterback from eight to ten, Mike Holmgren joins
- 34:28Speaker 1: from nine to ten, and Coach Bucky joins us right
- 34:31Speaker 1: now to buck roll you into this Monday and.
- 34:36Speaker 5: A lot to discuss.
- 34:37Speaker 1: I got to narrow it down to just a few
- 34:38Speaker 1: topics for the man that has coached every sport at
- 34:42Speaker 1: every level. Ye during the course of his life. So
- 34:45Speaker 1: let's talk about ken Walker man coach Bucky. Did ken
- 34:50Speaker 1: Walker pick a nice plumb time to be the man
- 34:55Speaker 1: the Seahawks thought he would be.
- 34:57Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, just down the stretch here and and obviously
- 35:00Speaker 6: first time that they got to play. I think running backs,
- 35:02Speaker 6: I would think running backs would be the ones that
- 35:05Speaker 6: would be smiling the most about a bye week, right,
- 35:08Speaker 6: just because it's just the abuse that they take. And
- 35:11Speaker 6: so for him to take what nineteen carries and go
- 35:15Speaker 6: pop for almost one hundred and twenty yards, that's that's impressive.
- 35:18Speaker 6: I mean, and the way he does it. We've all
- 35:21Speaker 6: thought that it's there because you see the spurts. Ever
- 35:23Speaker 6: since he's been a Seahawk, you'll see at times when
- 35:26Speaker 6: he gets a little bit of room that he's got
- 35:29Speaker 6: enough wiggle and he's got the burst and he can
- 35:31Speaker 6: finish runs. And then you thought, okay, the Kubiak. I Anyways,
- 35:36Speaker 6: when Klein Kubiak came here at the outside Zone run
- 35:38Speaker 6: game which he basically learned from his dad, which I
- 35:42Speaker 6: watched Terrell Davis run, and it was just it's a
- 35:45Speaker 6: thing of beauty when it works, when you end up
- 35:47Speaker 6: going outside and then a guy puts his foot in
- 35:49Speaker 6: the ground and just heads downhill. It's awesome. And yet
- 35:52Speaker 6: we didn't see it majority of the season. You didn't
- 35:54Speaker 6: see it consistently anyways. Well, if he's figured it out,
- 35:57Speaker 6: if it took him eighteen games to or what, Yeah,
- 36:01Speaker 6: if it took him eighteen games now to figure it out,
- 36:03Speaker 6: he's definitely.
- 36:04Speaker 2: Getting it right at the right time.
- 36:05Speaker 1: If you hadn't watched football, you knew football, but he
- 36:07Speaker 1: hadn't watched it in a while. You just line on
- 36:09Speaker 1: all you checked out and you tune into that game
- 36:12Speaker 1: last night. You're sure that Ken Walker is the best running.
- 36:14Speaker 2: Back in the National Football League.
- 36:16Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I mean, and and I think that the
- 36:20Speaker 1: potentials there maybe not to be the best, but to
- 36:22Speaker 1: be one of the best. And we just haven't seen it.
- 36:25Speaker 1: We saw it all on display on Saturday night. He
- 36:29Speaker 1: looked confident, he looked he just looked powerful, quick, elusive.
- 36:36Speaker 5: He had it all all right. Coach Bucky Denver, Broncos
- 36:39Speaker 5: going to be okay. With Jared Stidham at quarterback, this Sunday.
- 36:44Speaker 2: Was not going to be as good.
- 36:45Speaker 6: I mean, there's no way that your backup's going to
- 36:48Speaker 6: be as good. I think that most NFL teams, almost
- 36:52Speaker 6: head coaches can recognize the difference even if your backup's
- 36:56Speaker 6: pretty good or decent better than some backups. I think
- 36:59Speaker 6: that it's a clear that bone Knicks has more of
- 37:02Speaker 6: a handle on this than Stidham. Now, Stidham is not
- 37:06Speaker 6: your worst backup, and yet the year is gonna be
- 37:08Speaker 6: thrust into the AFC Championship game when you haven't thrown
- 37:12Speaker 6: a pass in a game the entire season, are.
- 37:16Speaker 2: They gonna be okay?
- 37:18Speaker 6: I think it's it's one of those we'll see what happens.
- 37:20Speaker 6: When it comes to the defense is gonna have to
- 37:23Speaker 6: lock up. It's been a really good defense most of
- 37:25Speaker 6: the year, and yet it hasn't been the last month.
- 37:27Speaker 6: It's been porous in multiple areas. And we saw that
- 37:30Speaker 6: against you know, Josh Allen, which he can do that
- 37:32Speaker 6: to a lot of defenses. The defense is get They're
- 37:35Speaker 6: gonna have to be like, all right, boys, we need
- 37:37Speaker 6: to go big and we got to come up huge here.
- 37:39Speaker 6: And then I think Stidham has to just be smart
- 37:42Speaker 6: and you know, at times, live to fight another day
- 37:45Speaker 6: and don't don't get too terribly carried away. But then
- 37:47Speaker 6: again with Drake May. He's young, he's capable, we saw him.
- 37:51Speaker 6: He's susceptible to turning the ball over too, So I
- 37:54Speaker 6: don't I'm glad they're in the AFC Championship.
- 37:57Speaker 2: I really wish we had bon Nicks still though. That
- 37:59Speaker 2: would be nice.
- 38:00Speaker 5: Yeah, oh gosh, I forgot what I was gonna say.
- 38:03Speaker 5: Damn it.
- 38:04Speaker 7: It's only SI career start, which is like career starts. Yeah,
- 38:08Speaker 7: that's a lot of pressure.
- 38:09Speaker 1: Yeah, no question about all right, last one, Natty Tonight,
- 38:11Speaker 1: who gets it?
- 38:13Speaker 2: Indiana? It was all like, I don't.
- 38:15Speaker 6: I don't know for sure they are the better team,
- 38:19Speaker 6: but there is something with that pass rush that Miami has.
- 38:22Speaker 6: I mean, if if that Bane guy goes off, he
- 38:25Speaker 6: could make it uncomfortable.
- 38:26Speaker 2: For anybody, even in Fernando Mendoz. But I just think
- 38:29Speaker 2: the way.
- 38:29Speaker 5: I don't call that you want to have.
- 38:33Speaker 2: Yes exactly if.
- 38:34Speaker 6: He ends up saying that, or if for some reason
- 38:37Speaker 6: like blows up the field like and that didn't.
- 38:39Speaker 2: Bane the one that did that Pittsburgh.
- 38:41Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, if he does that, terrible on the landscaping,
- 38:45Speaker 1: really not good.
- 38:46Speaker 6: So rude, Well, you gotta make sure you're ahead at
- 38:49Speaker 6: the time if you do that, because the game will
- 38:50Speaker 6: be postponed or canceled.
- 38:52Speaker 10: I am a man of the people, and yet I
- 38:56Speaker 10: didn't consider the number of Blo Color workers that I
- 39:02Speaker 10: have put out by brewing up.
- 39:07Speaker 3: I'm only going to think of that when I watched
- 39:08Speaker 3: the game tonight.
- 39:09Speaker 2: Yes, so I don't know. I mean, I think he
- 39:11Speaker 2: could be.
- 39:12Speaker 6: He could wreck some crap, as he can, Crabtree would say,
- 39:16Speaker 6: But I still think that it's Indiana, and I hope
- 39:19Speaker 6: to God it's Indiana.
- 39:20Speaker 3: Indiana's defense can wreck some crap.
- 39:22Speaker 1: They can, They can sufficiently wreck crap. All right, headlines
- 39:26Speaker 1: next plus Greg Bell. It is a Monday Morning with
