• 0:33
  Speaker 3: Oh my goodness, let it build, Let it build, Let
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: it build.
• 0:37
  Speaker 4: Super Bowl sixty is almost here.
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: It's a Football Friday, a Super Bowl edition of Football Friday.
• 0:45
  Speaker 4: This is the.
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: Last Friday before the Seattle Seahawks play in the Super
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: Bowl twenty twenty six three point thirty kickoff. We've been
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: in San Francisco all week long leading you up to
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: this golden moment on Sunday, and you can feel it.
• 1:02
  Speaker 4: I can feel it inside me.
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: I mean, the energy takes a little while to get
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: going at Radio Road in the mornings, but the game itself,
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: like they yesterday when we finished the roundtable, I'm.
• 1:14
  Speaker 5: Like, oh my gosh, it's here.
• 1:16
  Speaker 4: I mean we are at the super Bowl.
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: And so that that anxiousness is really building here this morning.
• 1:22
  Speaker 6: Yeah, yesterday I was feeling it after the roundtable as well,
• 1:26
  Speaker 6: and then when we went back to the house, I
• 1:28
  Speaker 6: was I was just scrolling through channels, and so then
• 1:31
  Speaker 6: I thought about channeling my inner Matt hasselback and throwing
• 1:34
  Speaker 6: the remote behind the dresser, because I hear apparently that
• 1:39
  Speaker 6: will keep you from getting nervous.
• 1:42
  Speaker 5: I don't know. I mean, I don't know.
• 1:43
  Speaker 6: I don't know exactly what you do at this point
• 1:46
  Speaker 6: in time, but yeah, it is, it is right around
• 1:48
  Speaker 6: the corner.
• 1:48
  Speaker 5: I have to think the nerves are building for the players.
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: All right, Well, we get one more conversation with Hugh Mellen.
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: X's and O's normally happens every Friday, all football season
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: long at nine o'clock. Today we're doing it at eight o'clock.
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: We have to have our QB one, you know. Add
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: to that, add to that adrenaline that we're starting to
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: build up right now for Super Bowl Sunday.
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: And so Hugh Millen joins us right here on Chucking Buck. Hello, quarterback, Hey,
• 2:18
  Speaker 4: I'm ready.
• 2:18
  Speaker 5: I'm in.
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: I'm like a racehorse in the stall, man, I'm ready.
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: Emon Warriors Ready, Seahawks are ready. Come on, man, let's
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: go open up those gates.
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: We got to run. Well, I mean as ready as
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: we are, Hugh.
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: I mean now, I'm like, can we play this on
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: Monday just to get Emon Warri an extra day's rest?
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: Is there any chance they can move it to Monday?
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: At this point?
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: You if that opportunity presents, why don't you take it?
• 2:45
  Speaker 5: Okay? Yeah?
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, because because they'll ask you first and then
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: just not just not yep, we'll push it back yep.
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: When that when that news hit, when Greg kind of posted,
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: as you know, sixty percent yesterday, and I know that
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: it's climbed since that time. I mean, what did that
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: do to you as an analyst thinking about possibly playing
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: the Super Bowl without number three?
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: Well, I don't like it. I think that he's such
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: a unique talent. We've discussed all of that, and and really,
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: you know, for me, a sense that a lot of
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: the discussion is, uh, you know, is he gonna be ready?
• 3:22
  Speaker 5: Is he going to play?
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: And and it's almost with a focus of how healthy
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: will he be on the first play of the game.
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: That that's of course of great interest to all of us.
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: But I think of equal interest is how healthy will
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: he be on the last play of the game, because
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: you know it's not just enough to to say, okay,
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: I'm ready. You take an injection and and you know
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: it's you know, it's obviously less than one hundred percent,
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: but it's as you know, you've got basically what you
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: have is I'm not a doctor, but the way sprain
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: ankles have always been described, right as you've stretched the ligaments,
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: I mean there's tissue damage, soft tissue damage, and and
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: so it's not going to be as strong, and it's
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: going to be tender and and you know the idea,
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: well you got through it. Well, there's certain things. You know,
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: if your ligament isn't strong, you know, you're there's a
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: reason why why God put a limp in our gate
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: when we have a sprained ankle. And uh, you know,
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: I I just I think to expect him to be
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: able to do all the things. From a movement standpoint,
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: I mean, you know, if you're just running straight ahead,
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: you know the forces have a certain level.
• 4:31
  Speaker 5: We'll call X.
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: But as soon as you have to, you know, stop
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: and try and mirror somebody in coverage. You know, you
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: drop your weight down and then you push off well,
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: you're you're exerting a pressure on on that ankle. I'm
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: not going to put a number to it, but it's
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: certainly a lot more next.
• 4:48
  Speaker 5: So uh yeah, you know.
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: How the game unfold is going to be equally of
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: interest to us.
• 4:54
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean there's definitely something to it. I mean,
• 4:56
  Speaker 6: I wouldn't think of it as something you could just
• 4:59
  Speaker 6: sweep under the a rug. To me, for some reason,
• 5:02
  Speaker 6: I feel like, you know, shoot that thing with something right,
• 5:05
  Speaker 6: some sort of masking agent of some sort of tapeing
• 5:07
  Speaker 6: up winds something. I think when something more than wind decks.
• 5:10
  Speaker 6: I don't know if that's gonna do it. I don't
• 5:12
  Speaker 6: know if you want that in your ankle, might be
• 5:15
  Speaker 6: squeaky clean, might.
• 5:16
  Speaker 5: Streak a little bit.
• 5:17
  Speaker 6: Uh you know, I don't know if you want to
• 5:18
  Speaker 6: do that, but I just feel like that. And then
• 5:20
  Speaker 6: you combine the adrenaline and and the fact that he's young.
• 5:23
  Speaker 6: You know, I just think he's going to go out
• 5:25
  Speaker 6: there and do it. But I'm I'm with you. It
• 5:27
  Speaker 6: does make sense that there could be something that he
• 5:30
  Speaker 6: doesn't do at one hundred percent or near it. So, uh, yeah,
• 5:34
  Speaker 6: he doesn't play. I mean, we've had he missed some
• 5:37
  Speaker 6: time earlier this season. If he doesn't play, how much
• 5:40
  Speaker 6: does it change what they are capable of doing, like
• 5:44
  Speaker 6: what Mike McDonald wants to do when he's calling the game.
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: Well, I think it changes a lot because you know,
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: whoever they put in, uh, you know, we've we've seen,
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: you know, go back to the NFC Championship game. He
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: was he on back to back plays. He covered Puka
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: Nakua out on the flat and got a pass breakup.
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: He then covered a running back that the Rams had
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: tried to push the formation away from him. For Matthew Stafford,
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: it was the trips left and Seattle's you know, pushing
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: a zone to that trip side, and then they're playing
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: a solo on the backside where Emon Worry had a
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: lot of space against a halfback on an option route,
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: a choice route, and his part to be fundamentally sound,
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: he's got to defend the inside first. He can't let
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: the halfback cross his face. Well, you see a lot
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: of running excuse me, linebackers against running backs in that situation.
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: They deny the inside, which is their first priority. But
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: in so doing, you know, they kind of anchor themselves
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: and they just have they don't have any acceleration to
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: cover the flat Well, Emon worry, you know, fundamentally denied
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: the inside uh what what would be called the Texas
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: portion of an option route, which is the inbreaking part.
• 7:05
  Speaker 5: Uh.
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: And then but then he has the burst in the
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: length to to to you know, put the turbo button
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: and cover the outbreaking route and get another pass break up.
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: And next thing, the Rams have got the punter on
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: the field. So you know you had that he covered
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: DeVante Adams down the field. So so if you're a quarterback,
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: you look, you know, he's basically we just I've been
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: saying all year he's a nickel Sam and he's a
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: Sam linebacker. But you don't get up a read on
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: the coverage because you know that Emon worry. If he's
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: out there, it could be Manner's own because they don't
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: fear putting him in uh in man coverage against anybody.
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: They put him in man coverage against Justin Jefferson for
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: crying out out right. So I I that that versatility
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: is irreplaceable. You can put a strong guy down there,
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: Uh you can. You know Tyrese Knight as a linebacker
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: that made you know, one of the great plays on
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: the second down in the red zone last week when
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: the Rams got down there in the fourth quarter, he
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: made that great tackle for no gain. So there's some
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: guys they have that can fill the positions. They just
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: don't have one guy that can do at all.
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: Hugh melanis with us x's and o's getting you ready
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: for the Super Bowl.
• 8:25
  Speaker 4: Super Bowl sixty coming up on Sunday.
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: Let's talk about the approach on the offensive side of
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: the ball. I think we're all in the let it
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: rip Sam category on this show with our experts, but
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: that doesn't mean you're necessarily coming out firing you.
• 8:39
  Speaker 4: I mean, I expect this to be.
• 8:43
  Speaker 5: A slobber knocker.
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: I expect this to be two defensive teams just knocking
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: the snot out of one another for four quarters. So
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: I'm wondering how you would approach that. Do you come
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: out throwing the football or do you come out a
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: little more conservative. Let's establish walker, let's divide our time
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: for big plays, uh, and then in the end we
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: think that we can outlast this football team. What do
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: you what's your approach to how you handle the game
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: play offensively aggressive or conservative?
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: Well, I think Clint Kubiak is going to try and
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: establish the run early. I think it's more likely to
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: be to the outside because I think you want to
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: run away from Christian Barmore and Milton Williams, those defensive
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: tackles that are quick like three technique guys, but but
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: have the size of nose tackles type of thing. You know,
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: they're they're a load inside, so you know, particularly just
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: with their strength and and so I think it's more
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: we're more likely to see, hey, let's try and get
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: the outside zone the stretch going, you know, and and
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: test those defensive ends Chasing and Landry and see if
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: they can set an edge. As far as the the
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: the game plan in the passing game, looking at the Patriots,
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: they they're feisty and they're they're trigger happy. What does
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: that mean there? You know in the NFL sometimes you
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: throw on a tape and you see a secondary that
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: that they you know, they want to maintain a cushion.
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: They're they're clearly coached. They don't give up the big play.
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: I mean, nobody wants to give up the big play.
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: That's the worst thing you can do in that pass coverage.
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: But you know, defense taketh, defense giveth and and it's
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: as if Mike Vrabel is saying to his secondary listen.
• 10:35
  Speaker 4: I know we may give up a big play.
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: I don't want to, but it's worth it to me to,
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: you know, to try and really be disruptive on the
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: short and intermediate stuff. Let's go, let's go after him.
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: If we have the pass rush to be able to
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: make a quarterback, you know, make fast decisions, you know,
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: you know, go try and get a pass breakup, you know,
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: And so they're susceptible to a double move. I think
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: that that that could be a big part of the
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: game plan. And then you know, final thought on on
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: what may transpire. When I described how Seattle on third
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: and medium may give the ball to Kenneth Walker, I
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: understand what's brought him there. Jsn right, he's the offensive
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: play of the here. I get that that's what you
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: want to do is throw on third and medium. But
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: that's under the pretense that your guards are are are
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: having a normal challenge, and and and if they have
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: an abnormal challenge that's difficult. Then you've got to hit
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: the Patriots where they're vulnerable. Let me explain what I mean.
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: I think most of us understand that it's harder to
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: play tackle than it is to play guard in past coverage.
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: Why because tackle you have more space you have to
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: widen out against a defensive end, you just have more
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: area that you know you're when you play guard, it's
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: like you have bumper bumper rails on either side, you know,
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: just in tighter space. So so space is the friend
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: of the of the defense, you know in that situation.
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: So if if what I'm seeing on tape from the
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: Patriots is that they take their defensive tackles, they're putting
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: them in in in a four four technique that's head
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: up over tackles. Four eye technique is the inside I've
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: seen the defensive tackles on A five technique. That's that's
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: that's that's where the defensive tackles the outside shade of
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: the tackle and then there's an end way out beyond that.
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: They got the A gaps open at least one B gap,
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: sometimes two B gaps like you're and you're asking the
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: guards in pass protection to fan out, widen out, and
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: they're taking the steps of an offensive tackle to do that.
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: So it's not that it's about what you know. Dance
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: with the girl that brung you. It's the patriots are
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: throwing something at you you've never seen that is not
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: sound in terms of just a quick app or you
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: can block it a lot of different ways. You can
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: zone block it, but you can trap it. You can
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: do these things, uh on a on an inside run
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: on third medium you can't, in my opinion, you can't
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: let them line up like that and make your guards
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: have to play in space as if they're tackles.
• 13:17
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 13:17
  Speaker 6: I hear what you're saying there, and that makes a
• 13:19
  Speaker 6: lot of sense. It's gonna be interesting.
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: It's all over the take, guys, it's all you know.
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: We'll just watch the AFC Championship like down after down.
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: I'm watching the end zone copy and I'm like, whoa,
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: what is with that front? Like like that that you know?
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: Is it is this third and fourteen? And I look, no,
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: it's third and four you know they're doing stuff. Yeah,
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: they're daring them to do it, So edit look for that.
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: There could be some of that, and then and then
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: what's the what's what's the effect?
• 13:48
  Speaker 5: What?
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: What that then does is say that uh, you know
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: they have then the pagers have to play a front
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: where they get the guards Zabel and Bradford into a
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: little bit more confined space, like is typical of what
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: guards have to do in pass protection. You have to
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: force them back into being sound.
• 14:09
  Speaker 6: Is there a chance I don't necessarily think there is,
• 14:12
  Speaker 6: but is there a chance that vrabel is going to
• 14:15
  Speaker 6: be able to even more than just contain JSN? I mean,
• 14:20
  Speaker 6: I would think you would have to be like, you
• 14:22
  Speaker 6: can't let that guy beat us. But I mean, could
• 14:25
  Speaker 6: he just sell out and just be like, we're having
• 14:27
  Speaker 6: two guys on him at all times?
• 14:29
  Speaker 5: And if then.
• 14:30
  Speaker 6: Cooper cup is running wild or aj Barner or whoever
• 14:34
  Speaker 6: it is, is there a way in which they could
• 14:36
  Speaker 6: shut him down or is he playing wide receiver at
• 14:39
  Speaker 6: an unguardable pace at this point?
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: Okay, so let's go back to the Greatest Show on Turf,
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: and you know, obviously that's Belichick and that Super Bowl
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: in two thousand and one, Brady's first Super Bowl, Belichick's
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: first super Bowl. They're going against the Greatest show on turf,
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: and they were taking their defensive ends and they were
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: widening them so much that they were jamming receivers. They
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: were jamming Marshall Fulk anytime he tried to leave. They
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: in essence said, it's more important for our defensive ends
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: to disrupt receivers who are in the area than it
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: is for them to rush. And the you've got in
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: Clint Kubiak, a guy that is similar to Kyle Shanahan,
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: lakes to have a lot of squeezed formations and that
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: allows you to have inserts on the running game. What
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: does squeeze forormation means the receivers are close to the ball,
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: whether it's trips which we call that bunch, or whether
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: it's stack formations or what have you. That allows the
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: receiver to be part of the the run blocking fits.
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: It allows receivers if they're not on an outbreaking route,
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: there's a lot of grasp because you've tightened your split
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: close to the ball. If you want to run a
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: crossing route, you can get over to the opposite side
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: from where you align. You line up in the left
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: slot close to the ball, and you want to run
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: an intermediate crossing route, you can get way over to
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: the near the numbers faster because you've aligned closer to
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: the ball. All of these tenants that are part of
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: the Kyle Shanahan Clinton Kobiak philosophy worldview about offensive football
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: involve a lot of type formations. So then what's the
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: what's the length to which the Patriots will take their
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: defensive ends and try and jam Jaysn. So if he's
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: close to the ball, they may really widen guys out
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: to try and disrupt him. We've seen that from from
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: Belichick through the years, as I've described, not just that game,
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: but in games since then, and and and so the
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: the formations house Seattle lines particularly, you ask about Jysn,
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: what are they going to do? Don't be surprised if
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: you see defensive ends trying to get a shot at
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: at Injigba at the onset of the play. If in
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: Jigba is lining aligned?
• 17:03
  Speaker 7: Uh?
• 17:04
  Speaker 5: What what?
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: What some people call, well all all coaches call, for
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: whatever reason, the term that the X receiver is called
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: a nasty split man. You play quarterback in the NFL,
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: and you're tight, you're you're split in is close to
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: the ball. You hear the defense going nasty, nasty, nasty.
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: I don't know where it originated, but but it's it's
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: an alert that it could be a crack block or
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: a shallow cross. So you hear nasty. Uh, you know,
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: Mike Hominggan would call it Z close, the the opposite
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: from the X of the Z. You know, the Z
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: close where the Z is really close to the ball,
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: and of course the slot receivers can be real close
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: to the ball right in the alley. Uh, you know,
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: just a few paces off of the tackle.
• 17:43
  Speaker 5: Uh.
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: That that's that's a component of the game that I
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: think that I certainly will be watching because I've seen
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: the Belichick vrabel Tree go to great lengths to try
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: and disrupt the pass routes.
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: Hugh mellon our final x's and o's before the Super Bowl,
• 17:59
  Speaker 3: brought to you by Frost Brewed Cores like shoes, Chill,
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: all right, I'm gonna ask you this as our last
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: question here today, our last chance to chat with Hugh
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: Millan before the Super Bowl, even though Clint Kubiak, Mike McDonald,
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: Sam Donald, ken Walker had nothing to do with February first,
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: twenty fifteen. If this game comes down to we're at
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: the one yard line and we need a touchdown to win,
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: will they be affected by what happened that day?
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: Humaning, you know, it's possible, you know, if it came
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: down to circumstances, you know, no two snowflakes are exactly
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: the same, and no plays are exactly the same. But
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: if it gets down to a similar situation, it's not
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: inconceivable to me that either Kubiak or McDonald say, you know, hey,
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: we got to run this ball. But you know, I
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: know it's going to be discussed on Sunday. Yeah, but
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: just a thought. You know, in standard football, with the
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: with the personnel you've got uh. You know, if you've
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: got two wide receivers, you have four dbs. If you're
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: replacing that a third receiver, then you go five dbs.
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: So you want to have two more dbs than the
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: opponents have wide receivers. On that play, the where they
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: didn't give the ball to Marshon Lynch, the Patriots went
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: so heavy they called it goal line three corners. They
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: only had three dbs on there, and Seattle had three
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: wide receivers. It was immensely balanced. The all of the
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: the the the axioms of football say, you need to
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: throw the ball and and and if you like the
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: if you look at the mass that they were looking
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: at to try and run the ball, there was a
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: lot of UH statistics that year, pointed to marsh On Lynch,
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: as great as he was, that he wasn't a great
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: third and five worth than one running back, not because
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: he wasn't great, because the defense focuses on it. In
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: that game, they had already had a third and one,
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: they got zero and they had to punt. So really
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: there was a lot of sense that the Seahawks were
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: trying to limit the amount of time that Tom Brady
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: would have to go down and kick a field goal.
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: He's the best that year and in many years. In
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: the two minute offense, that was big on their mind.
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: They only had one time out. That interception was thrown
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: on second down. For everybody who says give it to
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: Marshawn Lynch, there was there was soundness to the the
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: They had a run play and then they had a
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: check and that check, they had what's called Z spot
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: to let to Russell Wilson's left for his zone, and
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: they had the now screen to the right on mand
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: A man, so was man to man and there was soundness.
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: But here's the part for all the crap that the
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: Seahawk coaches get, you know, Carol gets for that, there's
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: a couple of guys there getting off Scott Free, Russell
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: Wilson you know who says, I want to be the
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: greatest of all time. Dude, it's second down. If it's
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: not a bright green light, just break a camera lens
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: in the back of the end zone with the football,
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: throw it out of bounds, break a cheerleader's nose, throw
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: it wherever other than to a patriot, right and uh
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: and so if you so, then if you do that,
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: if you call the pass play, because if you if
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: you run the ball, then you're gonna have to call
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: a timeout, in which case you that you know that
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: on the third down that you have to throw it.
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: So if you throw it on second down, he's like, hey,
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: maybe something pops open. If it's bright green, throw it
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: for otherwise, ditch it in the back and guess what.
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: Then you're gonna you're gonna have two plays. You're gonna
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: have what all the fans want is, uh, is for
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: Marshawn Lynch to have one crack from the one yard
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: and guess what you're gonna get two.
• 21:58
  Speaker 5: You're gonna get.
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: Third down, give to Marshawn Lynch, and then you're gonna
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: have ther timeout still available. You're gonna call timeout with
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: four seconds to go, and you're gonna have one play
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: on fourth and one win this. You would have had
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: two of those if you gotta expect professionals to be professionals.
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: And the other guy who's getting off scott free is
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: Jermaine Curse. He had brown and Browner on him. His
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: only job was to rip inside and to get in
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: the path of a Malcolm Butler. Malcolm Butler to get
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: that interception had to draw a line from point A
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: to point B. If he had to even go around
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: a traffic cone, around a coffee cup, just deviate from
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: his path one inch, he would not have made that play.
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: And the guy who's supposed to get that rub on
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: him is Jermaine Curse, and he did not rip inside
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: that he allowed Brandon Browner to have a path. I
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: can get six receivers from Skyline High School on their
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: JV that can take an inside release and get in
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: the path of Malcolm Butler. There was horrible execution by
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: professional standards that were happening in that play. Give you
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: give Russell Wilson an F and you give Jermaine Curse
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: a F minus because you can get high school receivers
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: to do the job he didn't do. And so there's
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: a in my opinion, there's a lot more sound thinking
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: behind what they did in terms of how they wanted
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: to preserve the You know that one time out Tom
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: Brady thing I discussed I don't know, uh, you know,
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: we had a decision analyst come on on the thirty
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: third team, who who his entire career is is is
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: about decision trees and choices businesses make. And he comes
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: on and he just goes, well, we all know that
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: that that was the right decision to throw the ball
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: and he says, well, this is how businesses have to
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: do decisions like like there there is a lot of
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: sound reason. Anyways, I've blown past the clock, but we're
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: gonna hear a lot about that page.
• 24:02
  Speaker 7: What you know, yeah, you know, how about this Russell
• 24:05
  Speaker 7: Wilson And you know what, Russell Wilson was miked up
• 24:10
  Speaker 7: and he's standing there forty five seconds after the play
• 24:12
  Speaker 7: and he tells to Darryl Bevill.
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: He goes, he goes, which way did he go on
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: the play? Meaning he didn't know if Malcolm Butler went
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: over the top of the screen or underneath.
• 24:22
  Speaker 5: You know what that means he.
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: Didn't see it. He didn't see it his own words,
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: tied a noose around his own neck because he he
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: asked Aaron Wevell, which way did did he go around
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: the play? It was it was murky like he had
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: no business trying to throw that touchdown. Its bolls should
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: have gone out of the back of the end zone.
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: And uh, you know, Jermaine Curse just gets a clean
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: rub boom, it's a touchdown, and and uh you know
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: you know so at any event.
• 24:51
  Speaker 3: All right, man, Well, thank you very much all season,
• 24:54

  Speaker 3: Scotch all night long or bourbon.
• 25:50
  Speaker 5: I'm gonna guess not.
• 25:51
  Speaker 4: I guess that's not what she did with her evening
• 25:53
  Speaker 4: last night.
• 25:54
  Speaker 6: No, No, she looks like she's got a lot more
• 25:56
  Speaker 6: beauty rest than you and I have a lot more.

  Speaker 6: A bunch of meat, just as much meat as we
• 26:33
  Speaker 6: could file a on It sounds good.
• 26:36
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 26:36
  Speaker 3: I don't think Hey Adams would have come to our
• 26:38
  Speaker 3: party last night had we invited her. But no, does
• 26:41
  Speaker 3: feel like a missed opportunity, asking, Yeah, well it's a
• 26:43
  Speaker 3: just opportunity for her too, I mean, live a little
• 26:46

  Speaker 3: Bucky and I are not staying for the Super Bowl,
• 27:26
  Speaker 3: and it sounds like there are a lot of people that,
• 27:31
  Speaker 3: you know, I'm sure the first choice would be to
• 27:34
  Speaker 3: see the Super Bowl in person. Those listening, But it
• 27:37
  Speaker 3: sounds like, according to this story here this morning, that
• 27:42
  Speaker 3: the idea of going to a Super Bowl party or
• 27:45
  Speaker 3: going to some sort of event is going by the wayside.
• 27:50
  Speaker 3: It sounds like people are getting really specific about exactly
• 27:54
  Speaker 3: what they want to eat and drink and be with
• 27:57
  Speaker 3: They want the privacy, they want their Seahawk moment. It's
• 28:02
  Speaker 3: just too personal now to share with anybody else. So
• 28:05
  Speaker 3: apparently there's a surge of people staying home to watch
• 28:08
  Speaker 3: the Super Bowl these days.
• 28:09
  Speaker 5: Oh that's interesting.
• 28:11
  Speaker 6: I mean, I do think a lot of folks, especially
• 28:14
  Speaker 6: if you've done it once before, If you if you've
• 28:16
  Speaker 6: been through watching your team fight for a championship and
• 28:19
  Speaker 6: that not go your way, and you're amongst people that
• 28:22
  Speaker 6: are not like minded, I think it that pain sticks
• 28:25
  Speaker 6: with you. Yeah, I'll just tell you. There was one.
• 28:27
  Speaker 6: It was I think it was forty three thousand to
• 28:30
  Speaker 6: eight is what the final score ended up being.
• 28:33
  Speaker 4: I'm pretty sure who was.
• 28:35
  Speaker 6: It was my favorite team, the Denver Broncos, and they're
• 28:38
  Speaker 6: playing against Seattle Seahawks. So that was not long ago, really,
• 28:42
  Speaker 6: but it felt like yesterday. The pain is still real,
• 28:45
  Speaker 6: and so I was amongst all Seahawks fans and it
• 28:49
  Speaker 6: was probably something I'll never do again. I'll probably never
• 28:52
  Speaker 6: watch a Super Bowl with all Seahawk fans if it's
• 28:54
  Speaker 6: against my Broncos, because it was painful.
• 28:56
  Speaker 5: I think it's I think a lot of people just.
• 28:58
  Speaker 6: Want to be able to have theirs and not have
• 29:01
  Speaker 6: it interrupted. So if you're around friends, close friends that
• 29:04
  Speaker 6: are all in the same rooting interest, then when things
• 29:07
  Speaker 6: are going great, then you're sharing in the glow. Yeah
• 29:09
  Speaker 6: things are If something goes poorly, you're all on the
• 29:12
  Speaker 6: same page. But to go out in public where there's
• 29:14
  Speaker 6: mixed things and you have that thought of like you'll
• 29:17
  Speaker 6: stop cheering when something bad goes for my team.
• 29:19
  Speaker 5: You know, yeah?
• 29:21
  Speaker 4: And I think today's fan is just so much more rabbit.
• 29:24
  Speaker 3: I mean, my dad's not sitting there on the couch
• 29:27
  Speaker 3: on Super Bowl Sunday and his you know, Joe Montana
• 29:31
  Speaker 3: Jersey or whatever, you know, with my uncles and hanging
• 29:35
  Speaker 3: on the edge of the seat. I just don't think
• 29:37
  Speaker 3: our dad's operated that way. But today's fan takes it
• 29:41
  Speaker 3: so personally and it's so important to them Compared to
• 29:46
  Speaker 3: two generations ago, even one generation to go, I would imagine, Yeah,
• 29:51
  Speaker 3: that kind of makes sense to me. I'm not gonna
• 29:53
  Speaker 3: be in mixed company where there might be, for goodness sake,
• 29:57
  Speaker 3: I might show up and somebody's new boy friend is
• 30:01
  Speaker 3: a Patriots fan. For goodness sake, I'm not watching. We
• 30:03
  Speaker 3: don't get at the Super Bowl every year as a
• 30:05
  Speaker 3: football fan. I'm not gonna be sitting there watching it
• 30:08
  Speaker 3: with somebody who's you know, got a Tom Brady jersey
• 30:11
  Speaker 3: on at that.
• 30:12
  Speaker 4: I'm staying home. I'm having freedo's.
• 30:14
  Speaker 3: Nobody's gonna judge me for it, and I am gonna
• 30:16
  Speaker 3: scream at the television because damn it, I'm a Seahawks fan.
• 30:20
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 30:20
  Speaker 6: And imagine if you had like a sickness where you
• 30:23
  Speaker 6: had to sit in the same chair, like in the
• 30:25
  Speaker 6: same position, and had to eat the same things, like
• 30:27
  Speaker 6: if you were superstitious.
• 30:29
  Speaker 5: I don't know who would be like that.
• 30:30
  Speaker 6: Then you obviously don't want to go out and bring
• 30:32
  Speaker 6: in mixed variables that might mess up the entire thing
• 30:35
  Speaker 6: for the whole city.

  Speaker 8: watch the game. There's no playing in the living room.
• 31:09
  Speaker 5: Oh I like Ashley's rule. Wait to just lay down

  Speaker 5: the law.

  Speaker 8: Yeah, all the playing will be done in the kid's bedroom.

  Speaker 8: And other than that, it's football only outside of them over.
• 31:18
  Speaker 5: There and break in with a Patriots jersey on.
• 31:23
  Speaker 3: I just think today's football fan it's such a personal
• 31:26
  Speaker 3: experience for them.
• 31:27
  Speaker 4: I think Ashley as was way ahead of the curb
• 31:30
  Speaker 4: on this. These are the rules, yep.
• 31:32
  Speaker 3: And you're not going to come in and ruin my
• 31:34

  Speaker 3: Row as well a little bit later on today. It's
• 32:15
  Speaker 3: been quite the fevered week, and yeah, today's just been
• 32:19
  Speaker 3: all about the game itself here on Chuck and Buck
• 32:23
  Speaker 3: in the mornings.
• 32:24
  Speaker 4: And one thing that we haven't discussed.
• 32:27
  Speaker 3: All week long, Bucky is fourth down decisions and how
• 32:32
  Speaker 3: crucial they could be. I am very curious to see
• 32:36
  Speaker 3: how Mike McDonald handles this. Do you take the points
• 32:39
  Speaker 3: when you can get them, or do you put the
• 32:43
  Speaker 3: faith A lot of people think you put faith in
• 32:45
  Speaker 3: your defense by taking the points. Mike McDonald here recently
• 32:50
  Speaker 3: had a game in which Heath showed faith in his
• 32:52
  Speaker 3: defense by trying to go for a touchdown on fourth
• 32:57
  Speaker 3: and medium, which is something he hasn't done during the
• 33:00
  Speaker 3: course of this season. But it'll be interesting. I'm expecting
• 33:04
  Speaker 3: a defensive struggle. I'm very curious to see how they're
• 33:07
  Speaker 3: going both coaches are going to handle fourth and medium
• 33:11
  Speaker 3: situations here, taking the points or going for it because
• 33:17
  Speaker 3: you have that much faith in your defense even if
• 33:20
  Speaker 3: you don't come through in that situation.
• 33:22
  Speaker 6: Yeah, well, I mean, it's it seems to me, like
• 33:25
  Speaker 6: most of football is heading in the direction of we'll take,
• 33:27
  Speaker 6: we'll risk, we'll risk getting no points at the opportunity
• 33:32
  Speaker 6: of getting four more points, and rightfully so, especially when
• 33:36
  Speaker 6: you get down inside the ten.
• 33:37
  Speaker 5: I think, boy, now you get to the.
• 33:40
  Speaker 6: Twenty five yard line and you're like fourth and two
• 33:43
  Speaker 6: if it's fourth and inches, and you're like, no, we
• 33:45
  Speaker 6: are moving the ball on them with the run game.
• 33:47
  Speaker 6: We got the barnyard, we got something like that. Okay,
• 33:50
  Speaker 6: you feel real good about that. But fourth and two,
• 33:52
  Speaker 6: it's not like it's that easy. Geared up if they
• 33:55
  Speaker 6: if they have a really good idea of what your
• 33:57
  Speaker 6: game plan is going to be to get it. And
• 33:59
  Speaker 6: I think that there's times when you could think, I'm
• 34:02
  Speaker 6: sure more old old school coaches would think part of
• 34:05
  Speaker 6: relying on my defense or believing on my defense.
• 34:07
  Speaker 5: Is taking the three points. I don't need the four extra.
• 34:10
  Speaker 5: Just tack on three more and then three more.
• 34:13
  Speaker 6: You do that three or four times, it's like you
• 34:14
  Speaker 6: got a touchdown and a half, you know what I mean.
• 34:16
  Speaker 6: So to me, it's it's which way you're gonna do it.
• 34:19
  Speaker 6: Obviously it's dictated based on the situation, the time of
• 34:22
  Speaker 6: the game, how that drive has gone or if it's
• 34:25
  Speaker 6: you know you, if you got there because of penalties.
• 34:28
  Speaker 6: All of that kind of stuff plays into it. I
• 34:30
  Speaker 6: think it's gonna be a little bit more of an
• 34:31
  Speaker 6: aggressive mindset. I think both these coaches really yep, I
• 34:35
  Speaker 6: think that. I well, I just think that it's gonna
• 34:37
  Speaker 6: be game. I feel differently. I think it's a take
• 34:40
  Speaker 6: the points kind of game here. If it's anything inside
• 34:44
  Speaker 6: of fourth and two, I think you're gonna see them
• 34:47
  Speaker 6: going for it once they're down, you know, over the
• 34:50
  Speaker 6: their opponent's forty yard line. I think you're gonna see
• 34:52
  Speaker 6: him going for it now if it gets long, I
• 34:54
  Speaker 6: do think you should do the smart thing. I think
• 34:57
  Speaker 6: the smart thing if it's fourth and two, fourth and three,
• 35:00
  Speaker 6: unless you're down inside the ten or maybe even inside
• 35:02
  Speaker 6: the five, where you're you're basically saying, okay, we don't
• 35:05
  Speaker 6: get any points here, but they have ninety seven yards
• 35:07
  Speaker 6: that they have to drive you get a touchdown themselves.
• 35:10
  Speaker 5: That to me is different than when.
• 35:12
  Speaker 6: When you're at the twenty five, because even if you
• 35:13
  Speaker 6: get the first down, you're not guaranteed you're going to
• 35:16
  Speaker 6: get seven points. Though matter of fact, you're not guaranteed
• 35:18
  Speaker 6: you're gonna get anything, and so I think taking the
• 35:20
  Speaker 6: three is better.
• 35:21
  Speaker 3: I think the game has changed so wildly in this
• 35:23
  Speaker 3: area that fourth and one.
• 35:25
  Speaker 4: Is almost automatic these days.
• 35:27
  Speaker 5: To go for it.
• 35:28
  Speaker 3: But I think the fourth and threes and fourth and fours,
• 35:31
  Speaker 3: I don't think we're gonna see the coaches be that
• 35:34
  Speaker 3: aggressive in this game. I think that I think both
• 35:38
  Speaker 3: coaches are gonna take points when they're there. Yeah, I
• 35:41
  Speaker 3: think because because I I really do think it's gonna
• 35:44
  Speaker 3: be a defensive struggle with not a lot of big
• 35:46
  Speaker 3: plays in this game.
• 35:47
  Speaker 6: What do you think about Okay, Mike McDonald, do you
• 35:49
  Speaker 6: think he's doing if it's fourth and four, So you're
• 35:52
  Speaker 6: saying that's when you're thinking they're gonna they're going to
• 35:55
  Speaker 6: just take the points. But what if it's there at
• 35:58
  Speaker 6: the forty five yard line. They're in there already over
• 36:01
  Speaker 6: the fifty forty five yard line. Are they going for
• 36:04
  Speaker 6: the four yards to keep the drive going, or do
• 36:06
  Speaker 6: they say ditch.
• 36:07
  Speaker 4: A punt, Dixon, that's a punt play the field position.
• 36:11
  Speaker 4: Now I'm not saying that's what I would do.
• 36:12
  Speaker 5: I'm saying you think that's what they'll do. These are
• 36:15
  Speaker 5: two we.
• 36:15
  Speaker 3: I mean, I mean, there's a trend right now in
• 36:18
  Speaker 3: the National Football League where there are a lot of
• 36:20
  Speaker 3: people out there that say, if you're not hiring an
• 36:23
  Speaker 3: offensive minded head coach, you're making a mistake. There are
• 36:26
  Speaker 3: people that believe in that theory. And yet here we
• 36:28
  Speaker 3: have two defensive minded head coaches. One of them got
• 36:31
  Speaker 3: named Coach of the Year last night, and the other
• 36:33
  Speaker 3: one is probably the best defensive mind in the world
• 36:36
  Speaker 3: right now.
• 36:37
  Speaker 4: And so even though even though they both you know, have.
• 36:42
  Speaker 3: Given into the analytics and both go for it on
• 36:45
  Speaker 3: fourth down, more than Mike Holmgren feels comfortable with I'll
• 36:48
  Speaker 3: tell you that much. I do believe that this is
• 36:52
  Speaker 3: a little bit of a tip of the cap to
• 36:54
  Speaker 3: not just the other coach on the other side, but
• 36:56
  Speaker 3: the other defense.
• 36:56
  Speaker 5: On the other side.
• 36:58
  Speaker 3: And I think a little more field positions to be
• 37:00
  Speaker 3: played for in this game, and I think a take
• 37:03
  Speaker 3: the points kind of situations are gonna pop up.
• 37:06
  Speaker 5: That's a smarter chance in my opinion.
• 37:08
  Speaker 4: Yeah, we shall see. We're gonna talk to Gerald McCoy.
• 37:11
  Speaker 3: I mean, if you've got two great defensive teams, why
• 37:14
  Speaker 3: not talk to a great defensive player. The former Tampa
• 37:17
  Speaker 3: Bay Buccaneers defensive tackle from NFL Network joins us on
• 37:21
  Speaker 3: the other side.
