- 2:11Speaker 1: which is fun. We're talking, we talked to everything, We
- 2:12Speaker 1: talked Seahawks. I want to get the Seahaks right.
- 2:14Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, oh, I was just going to say, I
- 2:16Speaker 5: know that you mentioned that we are off tomorrow, but
- 2:18Speaker 5: we should tell people what is going to be airing,
- 2:21Speaker 5: which is the Sun Bowl at eleven am.
- 2:26Speaker 2: And we also have the Las Vegas Bowl which is
- 2:29Speaker 2: immediately following, and I'm so sorry we won't be here.
- 2:33Speaker 7: We will.
- 2:33Speaker 1: Please don't apologize you do that. Somebody might hear and say, yeah,
- 2:37Speaker 1: please do not do that.
- 2:38Speaker 2: Somebody might say, will you college football?
- 2:40Speaker 1: Yeah? We got college football on tomorrow. It's New Year's Eve. Man,
- 2:42Speaker 1: people are doing stuff. And if you're not, you know what,
- 2:44Speaker 1: should get to the damn casino. We're found to you
- 2:46Speaker 1: by a snow callal me casino and get some juice
- 2:47Speaker 1: on those games. Okay, all right, I want to get
- 2:49Speaker 1: to this real quick. The I heard you and MJ
- 2:54Speaker 1: today we're talking yesterday about about yeah, about the the well,
- 2:59Speaker 1: it's an interesting saying contentious, contentious for sure.
- 3:02Speaker 2: I like debate.
- 3:04Speaker 1: So this is the number is is honestly crazy. The
- 3:09Speaker 1: number that I'm gonna get the fact that the Seahawks
- 3:12Speaker 1: in twenty twenty five, and we mentioned this yesterday, it's
- 3:15Speaker 1: been out there a little bit. H brought it up
- 3:17Speaker 1: and uses it a lot for a good reason, because
- 3:21Speaker 1: it's very relevant. It's remarkable though, when you think about it,
- 3:25Speaker 1: the twenty twenty five Seattle Seahawks are the highest scoring
- 3:29Speaker 1: team in franchise history in fifty years of the franchise.
- 3:34Speaker 1: Four hundred and seventy points. Now, I think you almost
- 3:37Speaker 1: just kind of stop it there, because everyone else in
- 3:41Speaker 1: the top fifteen. I'm just except for twenty twenty two.
- 3:47Speaker 1: The rest of the teams all played a sixteen game schedule,
- 3:50Speaker 1: So it's not, hey, they did it in seventeen games
- 3:53Speaker 1: the other teams in sixteen. No, this is through sixteen games.
- 3:57Speaker 1: Highest scoring team in franchise history are the twenty twenty
- 4:02Speaker 1: five Seattle Seahawks four hundred and seventy points. Put that
- 4:06Speaker 1: into context for a second. The Super Bowl team one, two, three, four, five, six,
- 4:12Speaker 1: seventh highest scoring team in franchise history. The Super Bowl
- 4:17Speaker 1: team in twenty fourteen that lost, they are the twelfth
- 4:22Speaker 1: highest scoring team in franchise history. I mean, just like,
- 4:26Speaker 1: think about that for a second. The team that lost
- 4:29Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. And this is why I think it's
- 4:31Speaker 1: really kind of a testament to what he was talking
- 4:34Speaker 1: about yesterday with Sam Darnold. Mike Holngren's team that won,
- 4:39Speaker 1: that was the number one seed, went to the Super
- 4:41Speaker 1: Bowl for the first time in franchise history, four hundred
- 4:44Speaker 1: and fifty two points, their third highest scoring team in
- 4:46Speaker 1: franchise history. Understand this. They have the MVP in Shawn Alexander.
- 4:54Speaker 1: They also had the unquestionably the best offensive line, not
- 4:58Speaker 1: just in the NFL that year, but probably one of
- 5:01Speaker 1: the best NFL offensive lines we've ever seen. It was,
- 5:06Speaker 1: And they had a guy Mike Holmgren who was in
- 5:10Speaker 1: year four with his quarterback Matt Hasselbeck calling plays. Mike Holmgren,
- 5:15Speaker 1: who should be a Hall of Famer, won't be this
- 5:18Speaker 1: year because of the way the rules work. Maybe next
- 5:20Speaker 1: year they because Belichick's going in there. Yeah, but they
- 5:25Speaker 1: think like this team has scored more points than that team,
- 5:28Speaker 1: than the Super Bowl team that lost, the Super Bowl
- 5:30Speaker 1: team that won, the Super Bowl team that also lost,
- 5:34Speaker 1: and all these other teams. Now, there's other generations, so
- 5:37Speaker 1: it's not just say it's in the twenty twenties, right,
- 5:38Speaker 1: there's an eighty four team in there, in the top fifteen,
- 5:41Speaker 1: there's an eighty three team in there. What they've done
- 5:45Speaker 1: this year is is damn remarkable. And I just want
- 5:47Speaker 1: to look that up just because I want to kind
- 5:49Speaker 1: of put it into context to see how good this
- 5:51Speaker 1: team really is. I mentioned it to you yesterday. I
- 5:56Speaker 1: don't know if we're spoiled or not. That was mentioned
- 5:58Speaker 1: a couple of times. I think, Jess, you said use
- 6:00Speaker 1: the term spoiled as well. Yep. I don't know how
- 6:02Speaker 1: our fan base in Seattle for any sport could be
- 6:05Speaker 1: using the term spoiled.
- 6:06Speaker 2: Yeah, but they didn't comparison.
- 6:08Speaker 1: No, but I think I think there is something to it.
- 6:10Speaker 1: I thought it because I poo poot it yesterday. I'm like,
- 6:12Speaker 1: wait a second, are we spoiled? Maybe? I don't know
- 6:15Speaker 1: what's wrong with us. There are four hundred and seventy points,
- 6:18Speaker 1: the highest scoring team in franchise history, and yet I
- 6:21Speaker 1: watch games. You guys watch games? How many times are
- 6:23Speaker 1: you watching games getting pissed off? Yeah? I'm thinking, what's
- 6:25Speaker 1: going to happen here? Why aren't they doing more offensively?
- 6:27Speaker 1: Why don't they beauty?
- 6:28Speaker 2: We have Seattle Sports it's always a roller cross there.
- 6:31Speaker 1: But they're the highest scoring team in franchise history. Now,
- 6:36Speaker 1: if you take some of the a couple of pick
- 6:37Speaker 1: sixes away, say defensive scores, right, but without having to look,
- 6:43Speaker 1: do you think that the twenty thirteen team didn't have
- 6:45Speaker 1: a couple of those. No, it's true, they did, right,
- 6:46Speaker 1: I mean so or the other Super Bowl team.
- 6:49Speaker 2: They all is completely fair they but they're.
- 6:53Speaker 1: Doing it with a guy. I made the comparison yesterday,
- 6:56Speaker 1: I think it was with Sando and I said, is
- 6:58Speaker 1: Sam Darnold in some ways a potentially better version of
- 7:03Speaker 1: Matt Hasselback. Huge point yesterday and again with Mark today
- 7:07Speaker 1: was he's in the first year with this offense, in
- 7:09Speaker 1: the first year with this offensive coordinator, and really for
- 7:10Speaker 1: the first time in his career, Sam Darnold's going to
- 7:12Speaker 1: be somewhere where he's a solidified as the number one
- 7:14Speaker 1: quarterback for a playoff football team, and he's coming back
- 7:17Speaker 1: next year with the same personnel and the same play caller.
- 7:22Speaker 1: Like the sky could be the limit here. You know,
- 7:26Speaker 1: people want to bring up Sean McVay Matt Stafford. His
- 7:29Speaker 1: first year with the Super Bowl McVeigh was a brilliant
- 7:31Speaker 1: offensive mind. Client plays for years before that major he
- 7:34Speaker 1: made Jared made Jared Goff look good at times. Kyle
- 7:37Speaker 1: Shanahan's has done marvelous things in San Francisco as a
- 7:40Speaker 1: play caller. Brock Purty benefits from that. Oh. By the way,
- 7:44Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey is an All Pro running back. Seattle has
- 7:47Speaker 1: a great wide receiver, one great wide receiver. The number
- 7:51Speaker 1: two is high scoring team in Seattle franchise history. Had
- 7:55Speaker 1: two one thousand yard receivers by the name of Lockett
- 7:57Speaker 1: in his prime and DK metcalf I mentioned the MVP
- 8:02Speaker 1: Sean Alexander and Bobby Ingram was a thousand yard receiver
- 8:06Speaker 1: for that team. I mean, go down the list the
- 8:10Speaker 1: ones that jumped out. That was like how they do
- 8:12Speaker 1: That was the sixth highest team. I believe it was.
- 8:17Speaker 1: Thomas Rawls was their top running back. Doug Baldwin was
- 8:19Speaker 1: their top ride receiver, but he's a thousand yard receiver.
- 8:22Speaker 1: Russ was in his prime. Though Russ was in his
- 8:24Speaker 1: prime and they had a really good offensive line. Still,
- 8:27Speaker 1: it was only one year removed from the second Super Bowl.
- 8:29Speaker 1: What they've done this year with no Pro bowlers on
- 8:32Speaker 1: the offensive line a Pro Bowl wide receiver and a
- 8:36Speaker 1: Pro Bowl quarterback. That's it. I mean, you can make
- 8:39Speaker 1: an argument a lot less weapons than most teams have.
- 8:43Speaker 1: And oh, by the way, just to think about how
- 8:45Speaker 1: far and I'm kind of paying this picture because how
- 8:47Speaker 1: far can this team go? Well, their defense is pretty
- 8:52Speaker 1: damn good. Their defense is really scary good. They're a
- 8:58Speaker 1: top ten defense. And franchise Street and the teams above them,
- 9:02Speaker 1: uh three of them of this of the ten, of
- 9:05Speaker 1: the nine of them went to the Super Bowl. H
- 9:08Speaker 1: only one wasn't a play wasn't a playoff team. We
- 9:12Speaker 1: all know that team. That was the team that Cortes
- 9:14Speaker 1: Kennedy was the league MVP Defensive Player of the Year.
- 9:17Speaker 1: So what they're doing is remarkable on offense. And then
- 9:21Speaker 1: you add that with an elite defense and then oh,
- 9:23Speaker 1: by the way, shout out and thank you to our
- 9:29Speaker 1: friend Kirk Cousins more than anything be Jon Robinson and
- 9:33Speaker 1: some special teams and a defense. Let's I don't know
- 9:38Speaker 1: what happened in that game other than every now and
- 9:40Speaker 1: then I'd get tapped on the shoulder by Ed Zoe going,
- 9:42Speaker 1: oh my god, look what just happened. I'm like, I'm
- 9:43Speaker 1: in the middle of the game. I'm telling you guys,
- 9:48Speaker 1: the Edo experience. The Edo experience is something that when
- 9:54Speaker 1: you watch and listen to him on the air with
- 9:55Speaker 1: Johnny and you think, is it just grab ass the
- 9:58Speaker 1: whole time? Yes, yes, but it's it's grab ass with
- 10:04Speaker 1: incredible analysis. I've never seen anybody like it. They can
- 10:07Speaker 1: make oh he's doing this, he's doing this, and oh,
- 10:09Speaker 1: by the way, it gets a tellustrator out and ten
- 10:11Speaker 1: seconds has something diagrammed.
- 10:13Speaker 2: Now that's a good broadcast game.
- 10:15Speaker 1: Yeah, he is, he's doing by the way, he's doing
- 10:17Speaker 1: the he's doing the Olympics. Yes, yeah, so we'll see
- 10:21Speaker 1: how he's repaired with Kenny Albert. Okay, yeah, but anyway,
- 10:24Speaker 1: good stuff all the way around. But yeah, like watching
- 10:26Speaker 1: that game and I could last night, I'm thinking, well,
- 10:29Speaker 1: there's no way, and then I look up at a
- 10:31Speaker 1: graphic at one point it says something about coming back
- 10:33Speaker 1: from twenty one points and the last time the Falcons
- 10:35Speaker 1: blew twenty one point lead was Super Bowl Thank You.
- 10:40Speaker 1: I was like, oh God, this is just gonna be
- 10:43Speaker 1: a dq just did it too, It's gonna be a
- 10:47Speaker 1: q H Kyle Shanahan repeat. But it wasn't, so they
- 10:51Speaker 1: came up with the win. Pooka Nakua was not in bounds,
- 10:53Speaker 1: didn't make the catch.
- 10:54Speaker 3: No, he was not.
- 10:55Speaker 2: And the fact that they reviewed it so many it
- 10:57Speaker 2: was pretty close.
- 10:58Speaker 1: Man. I saw that. I saw that we were an
- 11:00Speaker 1: intermission and I saw that when I'm like, oh, this
- 11:03Speaker 1: is what a what an incredible situation.
- 11:06Speaker 6: Though.
- 11:07Speaker 1: Corbyn's going to join us next. And I brought up
- 11:08Speaker 1: that because Corbin wrote a story yesterday about the playoffs
- 11:10Speaker 1: snare as. I taking him yesterday and he goes, I'm
- 11:12Speaker 1: posting it right now. I go, dude, I'm on your website.
- 11:13Speaker 1: I don't see it because it's going up right now. Well,
- 11:16Speaker 1: one of those things is now decided, and how big
- 11:18Speaker 1: is that. We'll talk about the biggest matchup in a
- 11:20Speaker 1: long time for this franchise. Corbyn Smith Emimalsity Spectrum talking
- 11:23Speaker 1: all Things Seahawks Next.
- 11:28Speaker 8: It's time to take a deep dive into all things
- 11:30Speaker 8: Seahawks with Corbyn Smith, Sports reporter for Emerald City Spectrum.
- 11:34Speaker 8: All Seattle Sports, all the Time, brought to you by
- 11:37Speaker 8: Jim Elliott with Wyndomere real Estate, helping home buyers and
- 11:40Speaker 8: home sellers in Western Washington. Whether you're buying or selling,
- 11:44Speaker 8: contact Jim at two O six seven six nine five
- 11:47Speaker 8: four six six or at Jim that's sold by Jim
- 11:50Speaker 8: dot com. Now with Corbyn Smith, here's Ian alright.
- 11:54Speaker 1: He time to check in with corpus normally on Thursday,
- 11:57Speaker 1: but that's a New Year's Day, we're not going to
- 11:59Speaker 1: be on the air, and I don't know. It felt
- 12:01Speaker 1: like I didn't want to go a week without talking
- 12:03Speaker 1: to our guy from Emerald City Spectrum, Corbyn Smith, because
- 12:06Speaker 1: Corbyn last I checked, sir, there's a fairly significant football
- 12:09Speaker 1: game going on this Saturday. How are you.
- 12:12Speaker 3: I'm good, and yes, I would say fairly significant is
- 12:16Speaker 3: probably an understatement.
- 12:20Speaker 1: That's funny. I was telling the story on the air
- 12:23Speaker 1: before you came on. In the last segment, I said,
- 12:25Speaker 1: I'm texting Corbyn yesterday because I'm looking around and our
- 12:28Speaker 1: NFL media site didn't have it specifically, and I had
- 12:31Speaker 1: a pretty good handle on what was going to happen
- 12:32Speaker 1: in terms of the playoff scenarios. I go to Emerald
- 12:35Speaker 1: City Spectrum, I go, my, got nothing there, I texted him.
- 12:38Speaker 1: He goes, I'm posting something right now. Just stand by,
- 12:40Speaker 1: and sure enough it was there, and I don't know, Corvin,
- 12:43Speaker 1: about eight hours later, most of it was already done.
- 12:45Speaker 1: Because as far as the Seahawks are concerned, now we
- 12:47Speaker 1: know exactly what's going to happen. I'll let you walk
- 12:49Speaker 1: people through exactly the scenarios on Saturday. Yeah, well, this
- 12:54Speaker 1: is I guess the good news.
- 12:56Speaker 3: If you're a Seahawks fan, you don't have to worry
- 12:58Speaker 3: about Seattle having to travel to Philadelphia or Chicago for
- 13:02Speaker 3: the wild Card round because the Rams slipping on a
- 13:05Speaker 3: banana peel worse than a Mario Kart game last night
- 13:09Speaker 3: has has put the Seahawks in a position where they
- 13:12Speaker 3: either win this weekend and they are the number one
- 13:15Speaker 3: seed they get to buy, or they get the number
- 13:17Speaker 3: five seeds, so they will be playing the.
- 13:20Speaker 1: Winner of the NFC South. And I'm putting winner in.
- 13:23Speaker 3: Quotes because you want to talk about a nightmare situation,
- 13:27Speaker 3: like I don't feel bad for Tampa Bay because they
- 13:29Speaker 3: have gone one in seven in their last eight games.
- 13:31Speaker 3: At the same time, they can win the game Saturday
- 13:35Speaker 3: and they can't celebrate because if the Falcons beat the
- 13:40Speaker 3: Saints on Sunday, the Panthers still win the division and
- 13:44Speaker 3: normally the NFL has games like that playing at the
- 13:47Speaker 3: same time, not a day separated like that in week eighteen,
- 13:51Speaker 3: so that was kind of interesting. But either way, Seattle
- 13:56Speaker 3: having to travel to either Tampa or Carolina seems more
- 14:00Speaker 3: ideal than having to travel to Philadelphia or Chicago in January.
- 14:04Speaker 1: Well, Corbyn, the point you bring up, I think is
- 14:07Speaker 1: worth elaborating on. I think the NFL, maybe in their defense,
- 14:13Speaker 1: but the NFL probably like everybody else, assumed that the
- 14:17Speaker 1: Rams would win last night, right I was. That's why
- 14:20Speaker 1: that game is when it's being played at on Saturday
- 14:23Speaker 1: with the Panthers and Tampa Bay. That was the assumption
- 14:26Speaker 1: you're playing. You're playing a winner take all game, which is,
- 14:30Speaker 1: as you mentioned, maybe no longer the case. Before I
- 14:33Speaker 1: get back to the Seahawks, how surprising was it what
- 14:37Speaker 1: happened to Matt Stafford in the Rams last night?
- 14:41Speaker 3: That was an implosion that I was just not expecting.
- 14:44Speaker 3: Now you read my article on EVERCA Spectrum. I did
- 14:47Speaker 3: point out in the scenario playing out there that you know,
- 14:52Speaker 3: I thought there might be a chance they came out
- 14:54Speaker 3: kind of flat because they found out without playing this week,
- 15:00Speaker 3: but they already were eliminated from winning the NFC West
- 15:03Speaker 3: with San Francisco beating Chicago. So there could easily have
- 15:08Speaker 3: been like a little bit of a hangover to an
- 15:10Speaker 3: extent there because well, wait, we can't win this division
- 15:14Speaker 3: now anymore after we had that choke job against Seattle
- 15:17Speaker 3: and now you know, now we can't win the division.
- 15:20Speaker 3: But I did not expect to see what we saw
- 15:22Speaker 3: last night. And to their credit, they did fight back
- 15:24Speaker 3: and tie the game, but that was a huge loss
- 15:29Speaker 3: for them, There's no.
- 15:29Speaker 1: Question about it. Yeah, I mean I get that part
- 15:32Speaker 1: of it, and I think that's a way to look
- 15:34Speaker 1: at it. The only thing is is think about how
- 15:37Speaker 1: Seattle's feeling right now, and maybe to a certain extent,
- 15:40Speaker 1: although there's a little bit more to it for San Francisco,
- 15:42Speaker 1: the forty nine ers, like you're sitting there with you know,
- 15:46Speaker 1: the possibility of twelve or thirteen wins, thirteen or fourteen
- 15:49Speaker 1: whatever it might be, and thinking, God, we have to
- 15:52Speaker 1: travel to more than likely Chicago or even Philadelphia. That's
- 15:57Speaker 1: messed up. You want to definitely take on the NFC
- 15:59Speaker 1: South for sure, that should be incentive enough. I just
- 16:03Speaker 1: I thought it was just it was an odd night
- 16:04Speaker 1: and maybe there was the human element. I get that,
- 16:07Speaker 1: but I just think it's doesn't matter now we're happy.
- 16:10Speaker 1: Everyone else is happy to okay right now. Mike McDonald
- 16:12Speaker 1: certainly wouldn't.
- 16:13Speaker 3: I mean, and you can tell with Sean McVay the
- 16:15Speaker 3: way he talked after the game last night, like he
- 16:18Speaker 3: understood the gravity of the situation there, but like we
- 16:23Speaker 3: just lost a game that just put us in a
- 16:25Speaker 3: spot where we could be traveling to Philadelphia or to
- 16:28Speaker 3: Chicago and then you know, who knows what the weather
- 16:31Speaker 3: is going to be like either one of those stadiums too.
- 16:33Speaker 1: That's that's what you just earned yourself.
- 16:36Speaker 3: Most likely, though, if San Francisco loses to Seattle, the
- 16:40Speaker 3: Rams still can get that number five seed and be
- 16:43Speaker 3: back on the track playing an NBFCY South team, So
- 16:45Speaker 3: that's not completely eliminated for them. But what we do know,
- 16:47Speaker 3: Ian is that the Seahawks will not have the number
- 16:50Speaker 3: six seed no matter.
- 16:51Speaker 1: What, so Carolina or Tampa if they lose to San Francisco.
- 16:55Speaker 1: Before I get to the forty nine ers matchups, sir,
- 16:57Speaker 1: let's let's quickly look back at last week and Seattle's
- 17:01Speaker 1: game at Carolina. Kind of another oddity in terms of
- 17:04Speaker 1: games for Seattle. It's a three to three game at
- 17:07Speaker 1: the half. Defense cranks it up, running game cranks it
- 17:11Speaker 1: up twenty four points in the second half, and away
- 17:13Speaker 1: they go off to the Races in a twenty seven
- 17:16Speaker 1: to ten win over the Carolina Panthers. What were your
- 17:19Speaker 1: takeaways from that game? Yeah, first, staff was pretty ucky.
- 17:24Speaker 1: It was hard. It was hard to watch that offensively.
- 17:27Speaker 3: And I think the thing and I've talked about a
- 17:29Speaker 3: little bit this week with my articles, but I did
- 17:34Speaker 3: not understand what Clint Kubiak was doing game plan wise
- 17:38Speaker 3: coming into this matchup, because Carolina's two clear deficiencies on defense.
- 17:43Speaker 1: We're defending the run and defending tight ends. And they
- 17:46Speaker 1: came out and went past, past, past passy to open
- 17:49Speaker 1: the game, and that was just bizarre to me.
- 17:53Speaker 3: And it seemed like there was just kind of this
- 17:55Speaker 3: pushback even when the run game was working early.
- 17:58Speaker 1: It's like, well, I want to keep I want to
- 18:00Speaker 1: keep them on their heels. They're like, well, they're clearly
- 18:02Speaker 1: not on their heels. They're sending safety on blitzes off
- 18:05Speaker 1: the edge like they're ready for your boot legs.
- 18:07Speaker 3: And he made the adjustment to his credit in the
- 18:11Speaker 3: second half, But like that seemed like a game where
- 18:14Speaker 3: that should have been an integral part of the game
- 18:17Speaker 3: plan was getting A J. Barner involved, getting the run
- 18:20Speaker 3: game billing because Carolina has struggled with those two things
- 18:23Speaker 3: all year long, and second half that's what really keyed
- 18:26Speaker 3: the victory. With the turnovers, the offensive approach, they really
- 18:31Speaker 3: started just beating Carolina up in the trenches. And that's
- 18:34Speaker 3: encouraging because I think for Seattle to go deep in
- 18:37Speaker 3: this playoff run, their run game is going to.
- 18:39Speaker 1: Have to do what it's done the last couple of weeks.
- 18:42Speaker 1: Corbus Smith, Emeralcy Spectrum joining us here on the Beacon
- 18:45Speaker 1: Plumbing hotline. You're one of your guys. Nick Lee wrote
- 18:50Speaker 1: the story about AJ Barner NFL's most underrated tight end
- 18:55Speaker 1: when Day three, round four pick one one, by the way,
- 19:00Speaker 1: not even Seattle's first pick in the fourth round, it
- 19:02Speaker 1: was that was Tyrese Knight, A J. Barner was selected
- 19:04Speaker 1: out of Michigan. I think a lot of us, me
- 19:07Speaker 1: and Clear are like, Okay, AJ Barner tight end whatever.
- 19:09Speaker 1: And you know, I think at the time they had
- 19:11Speaker 1: lost Parkinson and Disley right to free agency, but you
- 19:14Speaker 1: still had re signed at that point. Uh Fan right
- 19:18Speaker 1: to a contract. They're like, whatever Aj Barner has blown
- 19:22Speaker 1: up this season, and not just this season, I would say,
- 19:24Speaker 1: especially the second half of the season, what makes him
- 19:27Speaker 1: so underrated and why is he such an X factor
- 19:30Speaker 1: for this team going into the postseason.
- 19:32Speaker 3: No, it's funny Ian because I you know, on social
- 19:35Speaker 3: media I posted I posed this question after the game
- 19:40Speaker 3: on Sunday. But who would have thought AJ Barner was
- 19:43Speaker 3: going to be the best NFL player on that National
- 19:45Speaker 3: championship team for Michigan. And of course I've gotten blowback
- 19:49Speaker 3: from plenty of people for that question, but I can
- 19:54Speaker 3: you name a guy off that team that has outright
- 19:56Speaker 3: been better in the NFL than what AJ Barner has been.
- 19:59Speaker 1: I know Colet Lovelins had a really good rookie season, and.
- 20:03Speaker 3: I know that Will Johnson's played fairly well when he's
- 20:06Speaker 3: been healthy for Arizona as a rookie. But like those
- 20:09Speaker 3: guys don't have the stats that Aj Barner has, coupled
- 20:12Speaker 3: with the nonstat contributions how important he is.
- 20:15Speaker 1: For their blocking game.
- 20:17Speaker 3: The barnyard QB sneaks and pretending he's Aaron Rodgers and
- 20:22Speaker 3: getting guys to jump off side with his Cadence. I mean,
- 20:25Speaker 3: he's doing a little bit of everything, and it's so
- 20:29Speaker 3: much fun to watch.
- 20:30Speaker 1: And his ability to create after the catch.
- 20:32Speaker 3: That's sixteen yard game. He had him third and nine
- 20:35Speaker 3: the other day where he caught the ball well short
- 20:37Speaker 3: of the sticks.
- 20:37Speaker 1: He's like, I'm not going to be denied. Broke a
- 20:39Speaker 1: couple tackles.
- 20:41Speaker 3: That's the kind of stuff that this guy brings to
- 20:43Speaker 3: the equation, and you can tell that the team and
- 20:46Speaker 3: the coaching staff.
- 20:47Speaker 1: He's one of the guys they really rally around.
- 20:49Speaker 3: He's kind of that quiet leader that plays loud and
- 20:53Speaker 3: he's just really fun to I think he's their second
- 20:56Speaker 3: most important skill player on their offense, by Jackson Smith
- 20:59Speaker 3: and Jigbuff and you can maybe make an argument for
- 21:01Speaker 3: a few other guys, but I think when you consider
- 21:04Speaker 3: what he does in the blocking game and how they
- 21:07Speaker 3: use him on those short yard his run plays, and
- 21:09Speaker 3: what he's done in the passing game five hundred plus
- 21:12Speaker 3: receiving yards.
- 21:13Speaker 1: Six touchdowns, like to me, he's the second most valuable
- 21:16Speaker 1: skill guy they have on that side of the ball.
- 21:18Speaker 1: He plays with a passion too, Like you said, a
- 21:20Speaker 1: quiet passion, but you watch him, he's somewhat demonstrative he
- 21:24Speaker 1: does like he gets guys fired up. And I just
- 21:28Speaker 1: when you get to the postseason, yeah you need anders
- 21:30Speaker 1: just doing the dance in there. When you get to
- 21:33Speaker 1: the like, you need dudes like that, Like you need
- 21:36Speaker 1: guys like that. The defense has plenty, defense has plenty
- 21:39Speaker 1: of dudes like that. The offense needs guys like that.
- 21:42Speaker 1: And I just I what a just a great draft
- 21:45Speaker 1: pick by John Schneider, you know, and you look at
- 21:48Speaker 1: the last two drafts really by Schneider, right, I mean
- 21:50Speaker 1: he's a he and he has been.
- 21:53Speaker 3: This is the only way I can summarize, and I've
- 21:55Speaker 3: tried to think of other ways to say it, but
- 21:57Speaker 3: like John Schneider has been on a heater for years.
- 22:01Speaker 1: He really has been. His drafts have been on Q.
- 22:05Speaker 3: He just had the best free agent haul that he's
- 22:08Speaker 3: ever had this offseason. And the trade deadline moves every
- 22:13Speaker 3: single year, he's bringing in guys that not only are
- 22:16Speaker 3: rentals that you can, Hey, we gotta re sign this guy,
- 22:19Speaker 3: and we gave up beforeth and fifth form.
- 22:21Speaker 1: That's a steal.
- 22:22Speaker 6: You know.
- 22:22Speaker 3: That's he again, he's just on a heater. I don't
- 22:25Speaker 3: have any other way to sum it up the guy.
- 22:27Speaker 3: If he does not get Executive of the Years this year,
- 22:30Speaker 3: something has gone horribly wrong in the voting process.
- 22:33Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, listen, twenty nineteen, twenty and twenty one
- 22:37Speaker 1: not good. But I'm twenty one I throw away because
- 22:40Speaker 1: that was that year when half the country didn't play
- 22:42Speaker 1: college football and they kind of tapped out. I didn't
- 22:45Speaker 1: go back to twenty twenty two, Charles Cross, Boya ma Offy,
- 22:47Speaker 1: Kenneth Walker, Abe Lucas, Kobe Bryant, Reek Wollen, I mean
- 22:52Speaker 1: Riq Young. You look at so twenty twenty three, Devin Witherspoon, JSN,
- 22:57Speaker 1: Derek Halls, Zach Sharbonay Okay, Anthony Bradford, Mike Morris, Ola,
- 23:03Speaker 1: the Timmy Jerrick Reid, who's still in the league at least.
- 23:06Speaker 1: Then you go back to twenty twenty four Byron Murphy,
- 23:09Speaker 1: Christian Haynes, Tyres Knight, A J. Barner among others, and
- 23:13Speaker 1: and Neamiah Pritchard still there as well. Then you look
- 23:16Speaker 1: at what he did, you know, last year, Gray's Abel
- 23:19Speaker 1: Nicki min worri A Royals hurt. But we've seen flashes.
- 23:23Speaker 1: Riley Mills, by the way, if you watch Riley Mills,
- 23:26Speaker 1: guys like there's there's you see what he can do handles,
- 23:30Speaker 1: double teams. He's gonna only get better, Tory Horton, Robbie Oots,
- 23:34Speaker 1: My goodness, I mean he has really really been humming
- 23:37Speaker 1: along as John Schneider and the undrafted players.
- 23:41Speaker 3: Like you know question posed to me yesterday on our
- 23:46Speaker 3: Lockdown Seahawks podcast, and look, I think it is a
- 23:49Speaker 3: valid question. Has Tya Cotta made it that Kobe Bryant
- 23:53Speaker 3: is expendable in free agency? And I think that is
- 23:55Speaker 3: going to be a discussion that they're.
- 23:57Speaker 1: Going to be having. I think no, I think I'm not.
- 23:59Speaker 1: I think outstanding football. I think no one. I'll say
- 24:02Speaker 1: I'll let you finish, but I think no. For this reason,
- 24:04Speaker 1: you need depth and and I don't think Kobe's gonna
- 24:08Speaker 1: cost you a zillion dollars. Tyle Cott is not going
- 24:10Speaker 1: to cost you. I think you need both those guys.
- 24:12Speaker 1: I think you need depth even worry the way he plays,
- 24:14Speaker 1: you know he's gonna get banged up. I say no,
- 24:17Speaker 1: but I see what you're saying, Like, I understand what
- 24:19Speaker 1: you're saying, and I think there's an argument for that,
- 24:22Speaker 1: But I would just I would push back and say,
- 24:23Speaker 1: I think you need depth.
- 24:25Speaker 6: Guy.
- 24:25Speaker 1: You know what, think back to what the dismantling of
- 24:28Speaker 1: the Super Bowl team, Remember how it really happened. They
- 24:32Speaker 1: started losing all those depth guys in the secondary and
- 24:35Speaker 1: that like the first guys to go. And part of
- 24:37Speaker 1: it was they couldn't resign guys that coldn't afford it,
- 24:38Speaker 1: what have you. Uh, you know, Johnson goes on free agency.
- 24:42Speaker 1: What was the other kid's name that went to Philadelphia?
- 24:44Speaker 1: The backup safety. I mean they started losing all those dudes, right,
- 24:47Speaker 1: I think that's why they lost.
- 24:49Speaker 3: I know, Walter Thurmon left and uh they had a
- 24:53Speaker 3: safety that left as well.
- 24:54Speaker 1: Yeah, Maragos, Yeah, Maraghos is on I'm thinking of yeah, yeah,
- 24:57Speaker 1: Mara goes the other the other uh the other Nickel
- 25:00Speaker 1: backup Nicol Johnson. I mean, they lost dudes, and I
- 25:03Speaker 1: think you need to keep those guys. But you're right, Tyle.
- 25:06Speaker 1: How about Drake Thomas.
- 25:09Speaker 3: Jalen Sundell. I thought Jalen Sundell the last two weeks
- 25:12Speaker 3: has looked like a top five center in my opinion.
- 25:15Speaker 3: Like the Rams game, he played outstanding. His pass pro
- 25:19Speaker 3: was impeccable. He made some really nice blocks in the
- 25:22Speaker 3: run game, including on Ken Walker's touchdown run to open
- 25:26Speaker 3: the second half. This last game, he had several nice
- 25:29Speaker 3: blocks and he had that really key play where he
- 25:33Speaker 3: got his hand in the football that helped prevent an
- 25:35Speaker 3: interception from Derek Brown. I mean, he the guy does
- 25:39Speaker 3: a little bit of everything. And these are all undrafted
- 25:41Speaker 3: players that John Schneider has unearthed. And then think about
- 25:44Speaker 3: the guys he's brought in from Waivers. That's where Thomas
- 25:46Speaker 3: fits in and Josh Job Yeah, I mean they again,
- 25:50Speaker 3: he's he's just been on an absolute heater and he
- 25:53Speaker 3: I don't I don't see how anybody else can get
- 25:55Speaker 3: Executive of the Year with what his recipe is in
- 25:57Speaker 3: his team now, especially they get the number one seed.
- 26:00Speaker 1: To me, that makes it a slam dunk. Corbus Bitchoin
- 26:04Speaker 1: his animalcy spectrum. All right, your stories will come out
- 26:08Speaker 1: in Animal City all week. But we got a few
- 26:10Speaker 1: minutes left here, So what are we watching for on
- 26:13Speaker 1: Saturday night?
- 26:15Speaker 3: I'm looking to see how the Seahawks can take advantage
- 26:19Speaker 3: of the fact that the forty nine ers do not
- 26:21Speaker 3: have much of a pass rush, and we saw Chicago
- 26:24Speaker 3: take advantage of that. This pass game can Seattle throw
- 26:28Speaker 3: the football and get it downfield, take advantage of the
- 26:32Speaker 3: fact there's no Nick Bosa and several other guys are
- 26:34Speaker 3: out for this forty nine ers team.
- 26:36Speaker 1: They're dead last to the league in sacks. That's what
- 26:38Speaker 1: I'm watching.
- 26:39Speaker 3: On offense and defensively, can you bottle up Christian McCaffrey
- 26:43Speaker 3: and how healthy is he going to be because he
- 26:45Speaker 3: was getting banged up late in that game last weekend.
- 26:47Speaker 1: He's got one less day to recover.
- 26:50Speaker 3: If they can bottle up the run game and they
- 26:52Speaker 3: just truly put the ball in brock Perty's court this secondary.
- 26:56Speaker 3: Can they make the plays on the football that the Bears,
- 26:58Speaker 3: certainly other than the picks we're not doing in the
- 27:01Speaker 3: rest of that game where defense became optional. Those are
- 27:04Speaker 3: gonna be some of the storylines that I'm watching this
- 27:06Speaker 3: game for Seattle, you know.
- 27:08Speaker 1: Cormyn With with all this on Saturday night, I wonder
- 27:15Speaker 1: to myself a little bit that the Brock pretty magic
- 27:20Speaker 1: at times? How much is that is me just having
- 27:23Speaker 1: to accept the fact that brock Purty is pretty good,
- 27:25Speaker 1: or how much of it is a fact, because it
- 27:27Speaker 1: just it pains me to think that, But I get it.
- 27:30Speaker 1: How brilliant is Kyle Shanahan.
- 27:35Speaker 3: This has been the best coaching job he's ever done,
- 27:37Speaker 3: just all the injuries, I mean, without Fred Warner two
- 27:40Speaker 3: on defense, and for them to still be twelve and
- 27:43Speaker 3: four and have an opportunity to get the home field
- 27:46Speaker 3: advantage throughout the playoffs of the year that the Super
- 27:49Speaker 3: Bowls in their own stadium.
- 27:51Speaker 1: The guy is just he is a guru.
- 27:54Speaker 3: His ability is scheme things up, and that is that
- 27:57Speaker 3: is going to make this so much fun to see
- 27:59Speaker 3: him and Mike mcdie.
- 28:00Speaker 1: I don't going at each other.
- 28:01Speaker 3: And it feels like it's been eight years since the
- 28:03Speaker 3: last time they played, so that adds more intrigue to
- 28:06Speaker 3: it as well.
- 28:07Speaker 1: Well, it hasn't been eight years. But if you do
- 28:10Speaker 1: remember my friend Corbyn Smith, if you do remember they
- 28:13Speaker 1: it wasn't that long ago, what would have been six
- 28:15Speaker 1: years ago, right in twenty nineteen, where they played with
- 28:19Speaker 1: a lot of the same things on the line that
- 28:21Speaker 1: particular week. That game was in Seattle, and that game
- 28:24Speaker 1: ended with Jacob Hollister being stopped about three inches from
- 28:27Speaker 1: the goal line and Seattle going on the road by
- 28:29Speaker 1: the way to Philadelphia and then Green Bay for those
- 28:31Speaker 1: playoff games. So it that was a few that was
- 28:35Speaker 1: six years ago.
- 28:37Speaker 3: And that it still feels like it was five minutes
- 28:40Speaker 3: ago though, because even with COVID, because that was such
- 28:42Speaker 3: a crazy finish where you literally could put a deck
- 28:45Speaker 3: of cards between the football and the goal line, like
- 28:48Speaker 3: that's how close it was. And this game has the
- 28:53Speaker 3: same weight carrying to it. And I argue both these
- 28:55Speaker 3: teams are better than the ones that played in that
- 28:57Speaker 3: game as well. I think I think those teams that
- 29:01Speaker 3: year were really good to me, these two teams. It's
- 29:05Speaker 3: crazy that San Francisco we can say this about with
- 29:07Speaker 3: the injuries, but they still are very much one of
- 29:09Speaker 3: the top contenders in the NFC. And that's a testament
- 29:13Speaker 3: to what Kyle Shanahan's done in the front office, with
- 29:16Speaker 3: the talent that they've brought in, all the roster shuffle,
- 29:19Speaker 3: for them to keep humming the way they have it,
- 29:22Speaker 3: just I'm amazed that it's not the Sunday night game
- 29:25Speaker 3: given everything that's at stake.
- 29:27Speaker 1: I well, I am too, and I think it's garbage,
- 29:30Speaker 1: to be honest with you, that they're making. You know, Uh,
- 29:32Speaker 1: San Francisco plays a late game, Seattle plays across the country. Uh,
- 29:37Speaker 1: and flies back and then making those two teams play
- 29:39Speaker 1: in a short week is ridiculous.
- 29:42Speaker 3: I mean absolutely, Again, some fans are like, but it's
- 29:45Speaker 3: not an elimination game, but but it's you know, who
- 29:48Speaker 3: cares about the elimination aspect? With two teams that are
- 29:51Speaker 3: not contenders like Pittsburgh are not winning exactly exactly, That's
- 29:57Speaker 3: that's honestly, Corbett.
- 29:58Speaker 1: That's where I'm at with that. It's elimination game aside,
- 30:01Speaker 1: who cares about the elimination part of it? I mean,
- 30:03Speaker 1: that's great. When you're playing an elimination game, you're probably
- 30:06Speaker 1: talking about teams that are gonna get knocked out early
- 30:08Speaker 1: in the playoffs. These are two teams that are contenders
- 30:10Speaker 1: playing for what's massive, and that's the number one seed. Man,
- 30:13Speaker 1: that is absolutely you know it's huge.
- 30:16Speaker 3: Like that's when you just look at Seattle's history. They've
- 30:18Speaker 3: had the number one seed three times, they made the
- 30:21Speaker 3: super Bowl three times.
- 30:22Speaker 1: Like that's how big of a swing that this is
- 30:25Speaker 1: for them?
- 30:26Speaker 3: And San Francisco the chance to run through the table
- 30:29Speaker 3: at a home because the Levi's where the Super bowls at.
- 30:33Speaker 1: Like, yeah, I'm stopping. It's not Sunday night, but it's
- 30:37Speaker 1: still gonna be.
- 30:37Speaker 3: A standalone game on Saturday, So get your popcorn ready.

- 35:14Speaker 7: I don't know what constitutes headsets off worthy game.
- 35:17Speaker 1: I got to get to him on that one.
- 35:21Speaker 6: Guy.
- 35:22Speaker 1: If you missed any of it, you can find on
- 35:23Speaker 1: the podcast. Bento is a tree right now. He's just
- 35:27Speaker 1: an excitable last night man. Good game if you want
- 35:33Speaker 1: to if you want a rivalry, that's it right there. Serious.
- 35:35Speaker 1: I know you usually have to get to the playoffs.
- 35:37Speaker 1: Those two teams don't like each other. So that brings
- 35:40Speaker 1: us to the Gordy hat. Okay, they're all in four
- 35:41Speaker 1: and the and the shootout now, cracking the one point
- 35:44Speaker 1: out of a playoff, two points out of playoff spot.
- 35:45Speaker 1: But if you're based on point percentage, they're right there.
- 35:48Speaker 1: They actually would be in right now, two or three
- 35:50Speaker 1: games at hand and a lot of teams. They've got
- 35:52Speaker 1: two in hand on San Jose, who holds down the
- 35:54Speaker 1: last playoff spot. They've got one in hand on l
- 35:56Speaker 1: A who's got the second or the first wild card spot.
- 35:59Speaker 1: Next up on Thursday, they take on Nashville, which is
- 36:02Speaker 1: unfortunately playing better lately, much better. I don't like that.
- 36:05Speaker 1: It would have been nice if they weren't. But yeah,
- 36:08Speaker 1: they're playing their seventy three in the last ten. But
- 36:09Speaker 1: they're here on Thursday for a day a night game
- 36:12Speaker 1: at Climate Pledge on New Year's Day, So head on
- 36:14Speaker 1: out there for that. We'll have a breaking forty six thirty.
- 36:16Speaker 1: So Ian, what's a Gordiao hat trick? It's it's what
- 36:18Speaker 1: juh Jereed McCann had two thirds of last night, a
- 36:22Speaker 1: Gordia how hat trick named after the legendary Gordie How
- 36:26Speaker 1: really throw back, Yeah, weird throw throw back in a
- 36:30Speaker 1: lot of ways, Gordia How. It would be a goal
- 36:34Speaker 1: and assist and a fight all in the same game.
- 36:37Speaker 1: A fight.
- 36:38Speaker 2: That was the one I was missing.
- 36:40Speaker 1: Goal assists in a fight. Jere McCann in the first
- 36:43Speaker 1: period had a goal and a fight. Yeap, O'Connor Garland
- 36:48Speaker 1: should have had about four assists. If someone aful Coco
- 36:52Speaker 1: could elevate the pocket some point they would he would
- 36:55Speaker 1: have had it. But yeah, Jeremy cann being back in
- 36:58Speaker 1: the line of helps. But yeah, that's Gordion hat trick.
- 37:00Speaker 1: And come to find out we're talking about on the
- 37:02Speaker 1: TV side and I said to JT, I go, how
- 37:05Speaker 1: many of you had? Because JT was a rugged player.
- 37:08Speaker 1: He was he was not afraid to drop him. No,
- 37:11Speaker 1: he's he never had one. Really, yeah, I never had one.
- 37:14Speaker 1: And and then we said, well, Edge, how mad you have?
- 37:17Speaker 1: And I was expecting none. Yeah, because Edge is one
- 37:20Speaker 1: of the I think he's like the second or third
- 37:21Speaker 1: all time leading score among American players. It's six but
- 37:26Speaker 1: throw back different time.
- 37:28Speaker 7: But for those who don't know, it's rare because the
- 37:31Speaker 7: people who normally like get the points goals assist you
- 37:34Speaker 7: want them on the ice, and obviously when you get
- 37:36Speaker 7: a fighting major penalty, you're off the ice for five minutes.
- 37:39Speaker 1: So we looked up who he fought. Okay, the six
- 37:41Speaker 1: guys are David are our stats guy in the TV booth.
- 37:44Speaker 1: It was just like he does, like he shows me
- 37:46Speaker 1: that noteworthy. Yeah, like three tough guys most people would know.
- 37:51Speaker 1: But the top top he fought Bob Probert. What just
- 37:55Speaker 1: if you get a chance, I want to look that up. YouTube.
- 37:57Speaker 1: Go YouTube Bob Probert just for a second.
- 38:00Speaker 2: I'm doing it right now.
- 38:01Speaker 1: Absolute killer now here. Yeah, I mean Edgel fought him.
- 38:07Speaker 2: I've fought him.
- 38:08Speaker 1: Yeah, I didn't care. Wait hold on, yeah, six three.
- 38:12Speaker 1: I don't know how much he weighs. I want Bob.
- 38:16Speaker 1: Bob Propert was arguably the toughest guy ever played the league. Wow,
- 38:19Speaker 1: and uh yeah he fought proby man are ip. Yeah
- 38:24Speaker 1: he passed away went so he left us all too soon?
- 38:26Speaker 1: All right? Anyway, that was from last night. Good stuff.
- 38:29Speaker 1: We come back, John Lund. Will he be on time?
- 38:33Speaker 1: We're late. So if he's not on time this week,

- 39:30Speaker 1: John Lun coming up and just a cup the seconds

- 39:40Speaker 8: Boy, Welcome Dean's weekly visit with John Lund unleashed. He's
- 39:45Speaker 8: a Bay Area media icon who's known Ian for over
- 39:49Speaker 8: twenty five years. But don't let their age change your
- 39:52Speaker 8: opinion of them. John takes you through the Bay Area
- 39:54Speaker 8: and the NFC West and dupes it out with the
- 39:57Speaker 8: inn over, the Niners and the Hawks.
- 39:59Speaker 1: So it's on Leasha now with John Lunn. Here's thean,
- 40:06Speaker 1: all right, John Lunn joined us right now. Hello sir,
- 40:09Speaker 1: how are you.
- 40:11Speaker 6: With sandbaging this thing? Doing horrible radio for about fifteen
- 40:14Speaker 6: sixteen weeks?
- 40:15Speaker 1: We had the first week and.
- 40:15Speaker 6: We're like, oh, this is great, and they were like,
- 40:17Speaker 6: oh my god, what are we going to do for
- 40:18Speaker 6: the next fifteen sixteen whatever week?
- 40:20Speaker 1: What? And now we're ready here, we are. We're more
- 40:23Speaker 1: than ready, buddy, we are more than let's go, what
- 40:25Speaker 1: do you got man?
- 40:26Speaker 6: Here we go?
- 40:27Speaker 1: Well, first of all, let how about last night. I
- 40:29Speaker 1: guess it didn't really help the forty nine ers as much, right,
- 40:31Speaker 1: because if the forty nine ers lose the Seattle on
- 40:33Speaker 1: the Rams beat the Cardinals, then the Rams still get
- 40:36Speaker 1: the five seed. Is that right?
- 40:39Speaker 6: Yeah, Yeah, that's that's true.
- 40:41Speaker 1: Okay, that's true. Okay, So that doesn't really yeah, that
- 40:43Speaker 1: doesn't matter. Okay, it just helps Seattle. So we appreciated
- 40:46Speaker 1: what the Atlanta Falcons last night. I will say this, Belie,
- 40:50Speaker 1: I think the one thing we all can agree upon.
- 40:52Speaker 1: It always is fun to watch the Rams lose, is
- 40:54Speaker 1: it not?
- 40:55Speaker 6: Yeah? But I'll tell you what shocked me last night though,
- 40:59Speaker 6: was all right, you've been off for eleven days, you
- 41:01Speaker 6: are playing for something, and they go down twenty one
- 41:05Speaker 6: or nothing in Matthew Stafford as the worst game of
- 41:07Speaker 6: the year. And I hate when people say flat.
- 41:08Speaker 1: They flat.
- 41:09Speaker 6: They're professional athletes, They're ready to play, they have played
- 41:11Speaker 6: for eleven days. They got to beat they got to
- 41:13Speaker 6: come back. I just I thought they were going to
- 41:15Speaker 6: fire right out of the shoot, which is like I
- 41:16Speaker 6: always tell you, if you bet against me, you can
- 41:19Speaker 6: pay for your kids education, and you can buy a house,
- 41:21Speaker 6: and you can buy.
- 41:22Speaker 1: A car, and you can buy a yacht.
- 41:23Speaker 6: You know, you know all these betting shows are like, hey,
- 41:27Speaker 6: all these you know they got the New York accents
- 41:28Speaker 6: and you can tell you what to bet, I tell
- 41:29Speaker 6: you what not to bet, and it's actually better.
- 41:32Speaker 1: Well and it was I it was all said done.
- 41:37Speaker 1: All right, Let's let's get to what we got going
- 41:40Speaker 1: on this. First of all, what a huge win over
- 41:42Speaker 1: the Bears. Do you believe in the Bears?
- 41:45Speaker 6: No? I have it all year, and you know, I
- 41:48Speaker 6: do have to acknowledge. And look, I think Ben Johnson's
- 41:51Speaker 6: really really good. But Caleb Williams to me and you
- 41:54Speaker 6: and I have talked about this many times in college,
- 41:56Speaker 6: you just never won from the pocket and he kind
- 41:58Speaker 6: of ran around and did all these things and backyard football,
- 42:01Speaker 6: and I just thought, that's just not gonna work at
- 42:02Speaker 6: this level, and at times it has. I mean, he's
- 42:04Speaker 6: he doesn't even complete fifty eight percent of his passes,
- 42:07Speaker 6: which nowadays are completing sixty seven to seventy percent of
- 42:10Speaker 6: your pass So, I mean Darnald's right around that number.
- 42:12Speaker 6: And so maybe that's an overrated staff, but he just
- 42:16Speaker 6: the one thing about him is luck runs out at
- 42:19Speaker 6: some point. He afc denver Is won a bunch of
- 42:20Speaker 6: one score games last second with bo Nicks. That doesn't
- 42:24Speaker 6: usually hold up, and I don't think it's going to
- 42:25Speaker 6: and the Bears of that same kind of way. But
- 42:28Speaker 6: the thing what concern me the most about the Bears
- 42:30Speaker 6: is Caleb Williams miss his throws that are layups. Kaepernick
- 42:33Speaker 6: used to do that with the forty nine ers or
- 42:34Speaker 6: you're like, what are you doing? I mean, I know
- 42:36Speaker 6: it came down to that last throw and they made
- 42:38Speaker 6: a nice defensive standard the forty nine ers, but but
- 42:40Speaker 6: Caleb Williams had about three throws on that drive where
- 42:43Speaker 6: if he just hits really simple throws, they win the game.
- 42:45Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think the one to Level one
- 42:47Speaker 1: was bad. I mean it was just there.
- 42:49Speaker 6: There was silver threw one of the backs when guy
- 42:51Speaker 6: he had to lie open for a first down, like
- 42:53Speaker 6: he just it's like, what are you doing? He just
- 42:55Speaker 6: I don't know he's gonna he eventually, because we evaluate
- 42:59Speaker 6: these guys wait fast. Eventually, I think he's gonna be fine.
- 43:02Speaker 6: But in terms of this year, I think there's a
- 43:05Speaker 6: difference in this way that if somehow, you know, like
- 43:07Speaker 6: the Ramsay or Niners, if they're sitting in the six
- 43:10Speaker 6: seed versus the five, the team obviously that gets to
- 43:12Speaker 6: buy this weekend in the catbird seat. But if you're
- 43:15Speaker 6: in the five and you're gonna play the winner of
- 43:17Speaker 6: Carolina and Tampa Bay, that's almost like buy and then
- 43:19Speaker 6: but the sixth seed either has to go to Chicago
- 43:22Speaker 6: or Philadelphia. So that's a massive difference for the team
- 43:24Speaker 6: that finishes third in this division.
- 43:25Speaker 1: It's well, it's huge. That's why. I mean, I think
- 43:27Speaker 1: for Seattle it was it was the probably the biggest
- 43:30Speaker 1: thing last night. The biggest outcome was for Seattle more
- 43:32Speaker 1: so than anybody, because if you lose in Santa Clara
- 43:36Speaker 1: on Saturday, well then you know, you get the NFC
- 43:38Speaker 1: South And if you're five, yeah you're okay, Yeah, you're fine.
- 43:42Speaker 1: I mean, you'd much rather be playing at home and
- 43:44Speaker 1: all that stuff and a buy and all those things.
- 43:46Speaker 1: The consolation prize is you're not going to fill your
- 43:49Speaker 1: Chicago That's the consolation prize. And that's that's what that
- 43:52Speaker 1: brings us to Saturday night. Why this is such a
- 43:54Speaker 1: massive game on so many different levels, First of all,
- 43:57Speaker 1: let me start with the pettiness that we that that
- 44:00Speaker 1: people have. Sometimes it's fans, sometimes it's media. Sometimes it's
- 44:03Speaker 1: the teams. But they'll try to keep it quiet and
- 44:04Speaker 1: say it doesn't matter. We'll play anybody, anywhere, anytime. Blah
- 44:07Speaker 1: blah blah, Saturday nights for a team that played Sunday
- 44:10Speaker 1: Night football, another team that flew across the country. Come on,
- 44:15Speaker 1: come on, what are you doing here? Why is that
- 44:16Speaker 1: not Sunday Night football? Are the Bultimore Pittsburgh markets that
- 44:20Speaker 1: much better?
- 44:21Speaker 9: I know.
- 44:22Speaker 6: I don't know if you can hear the violin playing
- 44:24Speaker 6: for you right now, because I just feel so bad
- 44:26Speaker 6: for you.
- 44:27Speaker 1: I'm not talking no listen, listen, listen. I'm not talking.
- 44:30Speaker 1: Take take that part of the travel and all that
- 44:33Speaker 1: stuff aside. Let me give you this. Why is that
- 44:36Speaker 1: not the Sunday Night game? Why is it? I know.
- 44:40Speaker 3: I have.
- 44:43Speaker 1: Off, but but shouldn't that be the Sunday night game?
- 44:45Speaker 1: It's the top seed, first of all. And I think
- 44:48Speaker 1: we were talking about this Corbin Smith a minute ago
- 44:49Speaker 1: or other guy, and he's like, he's right, Sunday Night
- 44:52Speaker 1: are two teams that are going to one of the
- 44:54Speaker 1: two teams is going to squeak in. They're not really
- 44:57Speaker 1: contenders for a super Bowl. The winner of Saturdayaturday's game,
- 45:00Speaker 1: now that's the super Bowl favorite. That's the super Bowl favorite,
- 45:05Speaker 1: and the other team is right there with them. I
- 45:07Speaker 1: don't know. I thought it was odd. I guess there's
- 45:09Speaker 1: this weird love affairs still with Baltimore and Pittsburgh and
- 45:12Speaker 1: what have you. But eat Ghost, Yeah, it should have
- 45:14Speaker 1: been a Saturday Sunday team.
- 45:17Speaker 6: I think I agree with you, except for the fact
- 45:18Speaker 6: that I knew once they were in Santa Clara last
- 45:22Speaker 6: week they weren't going to be there two weeks in
- 45:23Speaker 6: a row because they don't generally do that, And so.
- 45:26Speaker 1: That's where they were.
- 45:27Speaker 6: And then you're talking about probably the end of Aaron Rodgers' career.
- 45:31Speaker 6: You're talking about here, Well that, but here's here's the
- 45:36Speaker 6: crazy part. There's a lot at stake for Baltimore and
- 45:39Speaker 6: Pittsburgh and they're gonna get a lot of ratings out
- 45:41Speaker 6: of that. It's the last game and it's for the
- 45:42Speaker 6: last playoff spot, not just positioning. So I get that,
- 45:45Speaker 6: but what we're hearing out of this and I know,
- 45:47Speaker 6: let's just go all nine or Seahawks after this. But
- 45:50Speaker 6: what we're hearing here is, do you know that Mike
- 45:52Speaker 6: Tomlin hasn't won a playoff game since the two thy
- 45:55Speaker 6: sixteen season. It was two thousand, So that guy could go,
- 45:57Speaker 6: even though the Rooneys don't want to fire anybody. And
- 46:00Speaker 6: I mean since nineteen sixty down they've had Chuck Noll,
- 46:02Speaker 6: they've had Bill Cower, they've had they've had Tomlin. That's it.
- 46:06Speaker 6: And then the other side of things is I think
- 46:07Speaker 6: if the Raven's get in, especially with the situation with
- 46:09Speaker 6: Stefawn Diggs, I don't know what is going to happen
- 46:11Speaker 6: in New England. That's going to be a major problem.
- 46:14Speaker 6: I don't believe in Denver. I think a team like
- 46:16Speaker 6: the Ravens, Derrick Henry and cold Weather, with Lamar Jackson
- 46:19Speaker 6: and John Harbaugh, they could actually make some noise. Pittsburgh
- 46:21Speaker 6: I don't think so. But the team that wins goes
- 46:24Speaker 6: to the playoffs, a team that loses might blow it up.
- 46:27Speaker 6: We're here and Harbaugh might go, Jackson might go on
- 46:29Speaker 6: the Pittsburgh side, Tomlin might go. Rodgers should retire. I
- 46:32Speaker 6: think that's one of the reasons that they're playing this
- 46:33Speaker 6: game too. Is it's a it's a rivalry. It's for
- 46:36Speaker 6: the last playoff spot, and whoever loses that game, they
- 46:39Speaker 6: could blow the whole thing up.
- 46:41Speaker 1: Rogers can go away anytime soon, all right, John Lone
- 46:43Speaker 1: joining us? Is McCaffrey, okay?
- 46:45Speaker 6: Him?
- 46:46Speaker 1: Is his back? Okay? Shut up here, an idiot. Is
- 46:49Speaker 1: is McCaffrey's back? Okay?
- 46:51Speaker 2: Is he?
- 46:51Speaker 1: Okay? Are Aaron Rodgers? What's going on with him?
- 46:55Speaker 6: I mean, let me ask you this.
- 46:58Speaker 1: He's a soccer player. It's like I'm hurt, I'm hurt, and.
- 47:03Speaker 6: Then he still goes he said McCaffrey.
- 47:05Speaker 1: He's and then all of a sudden say stop grabbing
- 47:08Speaker 1: your back and then going for one hundred and forty
- 47:09Speaker 1: yards on the ground. Stop it.
- 47:11Speaker 6: You're not hurt. Smart, but that's very smart acting like
- 47:13Speaker 6: you're hurt. I told you right at the beginning of
- 47:16Speaker 6: the season, before we played this first game, when everybody
- 47:18Speaker 6: asked if Christian maca McCaffrey's gonna be okay bouncing back
- 47:20Speaker 6: from injuried, and I told you because what he did
- 47:23Speaker 6: was he's not very big, but you know me, he
- 47:24Speaker 6: lot bigger than me. And he I said, Christian, you okay,
- 47:27Speaker 6: it was like the first time they came back to
- 47:29Speaker 6: trending camp and he looked at me and like pierced
- 47:31Speaker 6: his ires for me. I thought he was gonna punch
- 47:32Speaker 6: me in the face because I was directly standing to
- 47:34Speaker 6: his right and I'd fall over like a feather. And look,
- 47:38Speaker 6: he's healthy. He's fine. He's over two thousand scrimmag jards
- 47:40Speaker 6: as an outside shot of one thousand thousand for the
- 47:43Speaker 6: only the only guy who would ever do it twice.
- 47:45Speaker 6: Roger Craig did it, Marshall Fulk did it, McCaffrey did it,
- 47:48Speaker 6: and he might do it for a second time this year.
- 47:49Speaker 6: He's fine. He's not going anywhere he does that. I
- 47:52Speaker 6: know he's banged up and all that kind of stuff,
- 47:54Speaker 6: but maccaffrey's gonna be fine. I mean, he is one
- 47:57Speaker 6: of those guys where he's just not coming out of
- 47:59Speaker 6: the game. I mean there's times where Kyle Shanahan's like,
- 48:01Speaker 6: you got to come out. He just looks at Kyle like,
- 48:02Speaker 6: I'm not coming out, dude. I'm not so get that
- 48:06Speaker 6: guy back on the sideline. But he's fine, He'll be fine.
- 48:08Speaker 1: That's unfortunate soccer player.
- 48:12Speaker 6: I know you're digging yeah.
- 48:14Speaker 1: I mean that's like I did hear. I know he's
- 48:16Speaker 1: going to be fine. I heard people on I'm not
- 48:18Speaker 1: going to say, well maybe on our air going well,
- 48:20Speaker 1: you know, I mean, I think he's McCaffrey might be banging.
- 48:22Speaker 1: I'm like, here's the thing. Even if he is hurt,
- 48:27Speaker 1: guess what happens. You get a shot and you're good
- 48:29Speaker 1: to go.
- 48:31Speaker 6: Well, you know, and here's the thing. You know, everyone
- 48:34Speaker 6: asked the same question, and they're right. How are they
- 48:36Speaker 6: doing it? Because Trin Williams gets hurt against Chicago, he's
- 48:39Speaker 6: a future Hall of Famer, Fred Warner's out, future Hall
- 48:41Speaker 6: of Famer, George Kittle's out, future Hall of Famer, uh
- 48:45Speaker 6: Nick Bosa's hall are very good and ended up winning
- 48:47Speaker 6: that first game in Seattle by knocking the ball away
- 48:49Speaker 6: from Donald. The quality of player that they're losing right
- 48:53Speaker 6: now is is unbelievable. So I always get this question, well,
- 48:56Speaker 6: how are they doing it? How are they doing it?
- 48:58Speaker 6: Their special teams has gone from by far the worst
- 49:00Speaker 6: special teams to write up there with Seattle, So they're
- 49:02Speaker 6: doing it that way. Rock Purty, whether people want to
- 49:05Speaker 6: acknowledge it or not, has had the best two games
- 49:07Speaker 6: stretch of his career and is playing at the highest
- 49:09Speaker 6: level he's ever played at. But the biggest constant all
- 49:12Speaker 6: season long, it's been McCaffrey. He was out most of
- 49:15Speaker 6: last year and he's been awesome. He he is their
- 49:18Speaker 6: their go to guy in the past game. He's their
- 49:21Speaker 6: guy obviously that runs it. Without him, I think they
- 49:26Speaker 6: win four games. I know he's not gonna win the
- 49:28Speaker 6: MVP Quarterbacks and win it. I know he's not gonna
- 49:29Speaker 6: win Offensive Player of the Year because John Robinson and
- 49:32Speaker 6: Smith and Jigbu and Puka and all those guys are
- 49:34Speaker 6: going to get better headlines than him. But they're nowhere
- 49:37Speaker 6: near this game without him.
- 49:39Speaker 1: Two thousand yards from scrimmage this year for McCaffrey, So
- 49:42Speaker 1: apparently Jake Moody won't be kicking. It will be Eddie Pinero.
- 49:46Speaker 1: He's only missed one all year, is that right?
- 49:49Speaker 3: Yeah?
- 49:49Speaker 6: And that the one he missed was like Kyle put
- 49:51Speaker 6: him out there for like a I think it was
- 49:52Speaker 6: like a sixty to two or some kind of crazy
- 49:54Speaker 6: thing or else he wouldn't have missed the kick. I mean,
- 49:56Speaker 6: that's that's what I'm talking about with special teams. Jake
- 49:58Speaker 6: Moody was so bad last year. Guy. I mean, you
- 50:00Speaker 6: talk to him and it was like, first of all,
- 50:01Speaker 6: you don't like talk to the kickers anyway.
- 50:03Speaker 1: But your guys are really good there.
- 50:04Speaker 6: But he just he could hit one right down the
- 50:07Speaker 6: middle of he could joint Onny. I mean, he was brutal.
- 50:10Speaker 6: And this guy has been automatic and sometimes it takes
- 50:13Speaker 6: you know, two or three stops for a kicker, you
- 50:14Speaker 6: know that. And Pinero has been absolutely money. So yeah,
- 50:18Speaker 6: that's been a big part of it. Sky Moore, who
- 50:20Speaker 6: what came from Kansas City, He's been a big part.
- 50:22Speaker 6: They've just they've I know, people don't talk about the
- 50:25Speaker 6: third part of it. But again, Seattle's not where they
- 50:27Speaker 6: are without their special to use. The Niners aren't where
- 50:29Speaker 6: they are without their special teams. It's been these both
- 50:32Speaker 6: these teams have really relied on the third element of
- 50:35Speaker 6: football to keep them in and to win games.
- 50:38Speaker 1: Well, one for three for the forty nine Ers in
- 50:40Speaker 1: that first game gave Seattle a little bit of a
- 50:41Speaker 1: chance so that that would help. But apparently that's not
- 50:44Speaker 1: going to be the case this week. Along the way,
- 50:46Speaker 1: this team, the forty nine Ers are not good in
- 50:49Speaker 1: terms of getting the quarterback because you just mentioned I mean,
- 50:51Speaker 1: Bosa out the worst, I mean the worst. How eighteen sacks?
- 50:56Speaker 1: What the hell?
- 50:57Speaker 6: Like? Yeah, that that speaks to what you and I
- 51:01Speaker 6: are talking about here is when you say how are
- 51:04Speaker 6: they doing it? Robert sala is doing a really nice job,
- 51:07Speaker 6: but it's it's kind of a the ultimate bend but
- 51:09Speaker 6: don't break kind of defense because they're giving up yards.
- 51:12Speaker 6: They're in the middle, they're not This isn't a typical
- 51:14Speaker 6: Niners defense when you don't have Fred Warner and Bosa
- 51:16Speaker 6: and Michel Williams their first round pick and their secondary
- 51:20Speaker 6: outside of Demo Lenor in Oregon Duck so I know
- 51:22Speaker 6: you love him, but guy like that. They don't even
- 51:26Speaker 6: throw to his side because it's like, why should we
- 51:28Speaker 6: Darrell Luter Junior, where's twenty eight? He's he's in there.
- 51:32Speaker 6: He's not very good. They had an injury on the
- 51:34Speaker 6: other side of their to their corner. Bernardo Green, a
- 51:37Speaker 6: second round pick out of Florida State. Second year guy,
- 51:39Speaker 6: he was really good. He's not playing. Their safeties are
- 51:42Speaker 6: kind of hit and miss. Mustapha Is you know he'll
- 51:44Speaker 6: go down hill. He had a pick in Seattle last
- 51:46Speaker 6: year for his first pick of his career. But I
- 51:47Speaker 6: mean he is a box safety. He's he could get
- 51:50Speaker 6: beat over the top. I mean, I don't defensively, That's
- 51:52Speaker 6: where I'm going. You know, Robert sla failed with the Jets.
- 51:55Speaker 6: I get it, But I think he might get another
- 51:57Speaker 6: opportunity just because I don't know how doing it potentially
- 52:00Speaker 6: because they give up yards. They're not the Seahawks. They
- 52:03Speaker 6: give up yards, they give up points. I don't know
- 52:05Speaker 6: it like a team, and I know the Bears are good,
- 52:07Speaker 6: but I don't know how you can have that kind
- 52:10Speaker 6: of a defense like you had against the Bears and
- 52:11Speaker 6: entertained thoughts of going all the way to the super Bowl.
- 52:14Speaker 6: But obviously if they win this game, they will. But
- 52:16Speaker 6: their defense, this is not a typical forty nine Ers defense.
- 52:20Speaker 1: The odd thing with sacks is so Sales got forty four.
- 52:23Speaker 1: They're among the better teams. They don't have a guy
- 52:25Speaker 1: over seven. Like it's the sum of the parts, which
- 52:28Speaker 1: is wild, right, Like you just most of the time
- 52:30Speaker 1: you're gonna have like a guy that's gonna have I mean,
- 52:33Speaker 1: when they were at their pinnacle, Cliff Favorab Mike Bennett
- 52:36Speaker 1: suhould have like eleven, right, eleven and twelve each and
- 52:38Speaker 1: then a bunch of guys would have four or five
- 52:40Speaker 1: that we kind of be a trickle down effect from there.
- 52:42Speaker 1: That's what's odd about this is that this team's doing
- 52:45Speaker 1: it in that regard.
- 52:46Speaker 9: Well.
- 52:46Speaker 1: Jac Horne, by the way, was talking from smack last
- 52:48Speaker 1: week about JSN, who ended up with nine catches when
- 52:52Speaker 1: it was all said and done in about three pass
- 52:54Speaker 1: interference penalties along the way. Yes, Michael Jackson had a pick,
- 52:57Speaker 1: but outside of that, it was like cord button Jackson.
- 53:00Speaker 1: But I say that again, what was it again? He
- 53:06Speaker 1: Michael Jackson?
- 53:06Speaker 6: I did it wrong? For time?
- 53:08Speaker 1: You hit the actually beautiful. So your guy Lenor talking
- 53:13Speaker 1: some smack, I see what the hell is this guy
- 53:15Speaker 1: say he does? Is that what he does?
- 53:17Speaker 2: Well?
- 53:18Speaker 6: Well, if I'm the Seahawks, not because I'm trying to
- 53:20Speaker 6: get JSN away from Lenore and Leonora is their best
- 53:23Speaker 6: corner by a mile, why would you line JASN up
- 53:26Speaker 6: against him?
- 53:27Speaker 1: Again?
- 53:27Speaker 6: Not because he's not good, but they their corners don't travel.
- 53:30Speaker 6: They don't travel their corners from side to side. It's
- 53:33Speaker 6: like when Sherman was a Seahawks. This is how we
- 53:35Speaker 6: line up go for it. So he's always going to
- 53:37Speaker 6: be on the left side, the right side of the defense,
- 53:39Speaker 6: to the left corner, So I mean all day. Darrell
- 53:43Speaker 6: Luter Junior's twenty eight at number twenty eight. He's had
- 53:45Speaker 6: a bunch of injuries. They've got an injury with Upton Stout,
- 53:49Speaker 6: who's a rookie third round pick out of Western Kentucky.
- 53:51Speaker 6: He's been a really really good slot guy. He's injured.
- 53:54Speaker 6: So that means Chase Lucas twenty six is going to
- 53:57Speaker 6: be in there for the forty nine ers. Pick your poison.
- 54:00Speaker 6: If I'm the if I'm the Seahawks and I'm Clint Kubiak,
- 54:03Speaker 6: there's no reason to go over to Demo Leonor. Maybe
- 54:05Speaker 6: that's why Lenor is talking trash, so that maybe they'll
- 54:07Speaker 6: get baited into going over his side because nobody throws
- 54:10Speaker 6: to his side because there's just no reason to the Uh.
- 54:15Speaker 1: I'm just reading the Leonor comments like he was I
- 54:18Speaker 1: forgot you talked smack back in March when d Kalb
- 54:20Speaker 1: does that all, well, you know what he did he
- 54:22Speaker 1: kind of like, I kind of like it.
- 54:25Speaker 6: Oh that's what he does well, and he did this.
- 54:28Speaker 6: He did something. You guys can look it up. But
- 54:30Speaker 6: everybody's up too lazy. But you guys can look it up.
- 54:33Speaker 6: But Leonor said this before the season about JSN. He
- 54:36Speaker 6: was talking trash about JSN before this season even start.
- 54:38Speaker 6: That's just what he does. Yeah, you know he's he's
- 54:40Speaker 6: one of those guys and he's always done that since
- 54:42Speaker 6: he got in the league. He was a fifth round pick,
- 54:44Speaker 6: he's gotten a big contract, like he's he's a good player.
- 54:47Speaker 6: But I wouldn't say he's like a shutdown guy. Like
- 54:50Speaker 6: if JSN is, you know, hitting up Horn the way
- 54:53Speaker 6: he did last week, he's going to do the same
- 54:55Speaker 6: to Leonor. I just like I said, it's not that
- 54:57Speaker 6: you should be afraid of him. He shouldn't. But I
- 54:59Speaker 6: don't know why you would light him up on the
- 55:01Speaker 6: right side of the offense when you have probably a
- 55:03Speaker 6: backup slot stouts in the concussion protocol. When you have
- 55:07Speaker 6: a backup slot and you have an outside corner and
- 55:09Speaker 6: Darrell Lunar Junior, it just doesn't have much experience.
- 55:12Speaker 1: Is Kittle still hurt? Has he got an ali still
- 55:14Speaker 1: or is he gonna bring his long hair straight glass
- 55:17Speaker 1: out there?
- 55:17Speaker 6: Huh?
- 55:17Speaker 1: What's he doing?
- 55:20Speaker 3: Yeah?
- 55:21Speaker 6: I think that that's why they didn't play. I mean,
- 55:23Speaker 6: he's got a high ankle sprain and he just plays.
- 55:25Speaker 6: You know, he's he's peddled to the medal all the time,
- 55:27Speaker 6: and so I think they just saved him from himself.
- 55:30Speaker 6: I mean, I think he was He was out there
- 55:32Speaker 6: for warm ups before the Bears game and he looked fine.
- 55:34Speaker 6: And he's always going to want to play, and I
- 55:37Speaker 6: get that, but they knew that this week against the
- 55:39Speaker 6: Seahawks was the game and if they didn't have him,
- 55:42Speaker 6: and you know, here's the thing. They do have their
- 55:44Speaker 6: and this is going to cut deep for all seah.
- 55:47Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, they have.
- 55:52Speaker 6: It's not like it's like they don't. I mean, he
- 55:56Speaker 6: and and you know Tarik willand Will line up together.
- 55:59Speaker 6: We know how that's gonna so you know, I mean
- 56:01Speaker 6: they got they got the secret weight.
- 56:04Speaker 1: Even even wore his backfell. I don't worry about that.
- 56:06Speaker 1: He played five snaps again against the forty nine ers
- 56:08Speaker 1: the first time. It's not gonna be war. Yeah, well good,
- 56:12Speaker 1: you know what. That's good. Don't worry about scouting him.
- 56:14Speaker 1: He's fine. He's a number. You wouldn't recognize him because
- 56:17Speaker 1: he wears number three, but he's not five foot one
- 56:19Speaker 1: so it's it's a little different.
- 56:20Speaker 6: I thought that's who that was out there. Wow, a transition.
- 56:24Speaker 1: Somebody somebody stretched him.
- 56:26Speaker 6: They didn't hesitate to give How about that they hesitate
- 56:29Speaker 6: to give that number away?
- 56:30Speaker 1: No, not for a heart ti Nope.
- 56:32Speaker 6: God, it's like most teams just like, hey, let's you know,
- 56:35Speaker 6: respect that guy. Man, let's let that number cool up.
- 56:37Speaker 6: We're not gonna retire number, but okay, butt that number
- 56:39Speaker 6: cool Opnah.
- 56:40Speaker 1: You know that, buddy, there was never ever ever, Well, listen,
- 56:46Speaker 1: when you try to get the entire front office and
- 56:48Speaker 1: and everyone in the staff fired, do you think my
- 56:52Speaker 1: guy e K and the rest of the guys in
- 56:53Speaker 1: the equipment room couldn't wait to give that number away?
- 56:56Speaker 1: In fact, they were last year. They weren't last year.
- 56:59Speaker 1: I think somebody else warrant since then. I might be wrong.
- 57:01Speaker 2: I think it might have been special teams.
- 57:03Speaker 1: Somebody might have along the way. Who don't They did not,
- 57:05Speaker 1: don't tell me they gave that to like a punter kick.
- 57:08Speaker 1: Maybe it was.
- 57:09Speaker 2: I think it was like it was. It can't be
- 57:11Speaker 2: a snapper, so but I do think someone wore it. Well,
- 57:17Speaker 2: those guys are too big for that.
- 57:19Speaker 1: Oh God, alright, all right, Uh, just read the text.
- 57:23Speaker 1: We have a text for it. Hey, hey, stop stop,
- 57:25Speaker 1: I got a text for it. I got text. I
- 57:26Speaker 1: gotta text read the text, Jess.
- 57:28Speaker 2: Okay, hold one, Is this the week?
- 57:30Speaker 5: This is coming from our favorite Keith Miller?
- 57:33Speaker 2: Is this the week? Lund finally declares his Seahawks.
- 57:36Speaker 5: Allegiance and shows off his dark side tramp stamp co Hawks?
- 57:45Speaker 1: Do you really have a Seahawks tramp stamp?
- 57:48Speaker 2: No, it's a dark side one.
- 57:49Speaker 6: Oh are you kidding me? I'm not against it, but yeah,
- 57:52Speaker 6: you don't.
- 57:52Speaker 2: Have any tramp stamps.
- 57:55Speaker 1: No, I think that I believed in you. John One's
- 57:57Speaker 1: the one Guy's the one guy I know that we
- 57:59Speaker 1: actually had a upstam like hitting me.
- 58:03Speaker 6: That's the kind of women I date though. I mean,
- 58:05Speaker 6: that's the first first date. We sit down, we're hanging out,
- 58:08Speaker 6: we're having coffee, you know, like let me see it.
- 58:10Speaker 6: And they're like no, I'm like, man, you know my
- 58:11Speaker 6: you know my type, you know my style.
- 58:13Speaker 1: Yeah, that's kind of that's how That's how they grew
- 58:15Speaker 1: him out there at Utah State University. All Right, I
- 58:20Speaker 1: cut you off. What were you going to say?
- 58:22Speaker 6: We haven't talked about pretty we haven't talked about he's playing. Look,
- 58:25Speaker 6: he's playing the best football of his life. He's never
- 58:28Speaker 6: going to outrun two sixty two, I get it, but
- 58:30Speaker 6: he's playing really good football and it's going to be
- 58:33Speaker 6: a challenge. The Seahawks are great. I acknowledge that I'm
- 58:37Speaker 6: not overly biased that I can't say that the Seahawks
- 58:39Speaker 6: and Mike McDonald and all that kind of stuff, that
- 58:41Speaker 6: is a great defense. And if I'm a Seahawks fan.
- 58:44Speaker 6: The one thing I look back on is it was
- 58:46Speaker 6: Christmas Day two years ago and the Ravens and brought
- 58:49Speaker 6: pretty I don't know if you remember.
- 58:50Speaker 1: This, but he was on track for an MVP season.
- 58:52Speaker 6: He was playing awesome and we were talking every day
- 58:55Speaker 6: cause this guy go from two sixty two to m
- 58:56Speaker 6: v P. You know, sports radio goes and uh and
- 59:00Speaker 6: McDonald just crushed him. Kyle Hamilton had like a tip
- 59:03Speaker 6: interception for a touchdown. They absolutely crushed him. It was
- 59:06Speaker 6: the worst game of his career. So I'll be interested
- 59:08Speaker 6: to see what Mike McDonald has for him, but he has.
- 59:11Speaker 6: He's responsible for ten touchdowns the last two weeks. Five
- 59:14Speaker 6: he through five and then last week I think was
- 59:16Speaker 6: what three with two runs and he's playing really good football.
- 59:20Speaker 6: He's got that chess match.
- 59:21Speaker 1: Who's got the advantage of quarterback?
- 59:25Speaker 6: Oh I did not even close.
- 59:26Speaker 1: I mean, Donald, that's not you. Come on, Donald, have
- 59:30Speaker 1: got to admit.
- 59:31Speaker 6: That twenty that mister twenty turnovers. He should change his
- 59:34Speaker 6: number at mister twenty turnovers. That's not good.
- 59:37Speaker 1: I'm gonna put you in touch with our guys. I'm
- 59:38Speaker 1: gonna put you in touch with our guy Hu mil
- 59:40Speaker 1: And there's no correlation between the turnovers that he's had
- 59:42Speaker 1: and winning and losing this year. I'll just leave it
- 59:44Speaker 1: at that. So okay, I'm just gonna leave it at that.
- 59:46Speaker 1: Don't argue with me. Don't argue with me. I know
- 59:47Speaker 1: you want to. I don't I know you want to
- 59:49Speaker 1: argue with me. I listen, go listen.
- 59:52Speaker 7: I need to.
- 59:52Speaker 6: Download say that turnovers don't match.
- 59:54Speaker 1: I want you to do me a favor. You do
- 59:56Speaker 1: an you do a football show for a living, I
- 1:00:00Speaker 1: want you to do me a favorite. Yes, I want
- 1:00:01Speaker 1: you to do me a fair. Go listen to our
- 1:00:03Speaker 1: podcast Hour one yesterday with Hugh Millon. Just listen to
- 1:00:06Speaker 1: the first twenty minute.
- 1:00:06Speaker 6: Far too busy, No, I'm very busy. And the thing
- 1:00:11Speaker 6: is is that I respect Hugh Millan. I remember back
- 1:00:14Speaker 6: in the day, and look, he's great and I've heard
- 1:00:16Speaker 6: of on all your shows there KJR. The guy is
- 1:00:18Speaker 6: tremendous and he has definitely forgotten more football than I
- 1:00:21Speaker 6: ever know. But when it comes to turnovers, where I'll
- 1:00:23Speaker 6: know this, eighty percent of the time it works every time.
- 1:00:26Speaker 6: Eighty percent of the time when just by one turnover
- 1:00:30Speaker 6: you lose that battle, you lose the game, and it
- 1:00:33Speaker 6: goes up from there too, is like ninety three percent.
- 1:00:35Speaker 6: I mean, it's just it's a ridiculous number. So look,
- 1:00:38Speaker 6: the defense has bailed out the Seahawks time and time again.
- 1:00:40Speaker 6: They are outstanding. If Sam Darnold doesn't screw it up,
- 1:00:44Speaker 6: the Seahawks should be in the Super Bowl. They're the
- 1:00:47Speaker 6: most talented team. I'll sit here and say that the
- 1:00:49Speaker 6: Niners are not more talented than the Seahawks. The Seahawks
- 1:00:52Speaker 6: are the most talented team in football. But the most
- 1:00:55Speaker 6: important position is quarterback, and he's got to stop turning
- 1:00:58Speaker 6: it over. We can agree with that on that, right, He's.
- 1:01:01Speaker 1: Got to stop a cutting down the turnovers would be nice.
- 1:01:05Speaker 1: But I'm just here, do you know this is the
- 1:01:06Speaker 1: highest scoring offense ever ever in fifty years, highest scoring
- 1:01:10Speaker 1: offense ever, and they have thirteen ones. I'm not concerned
- 1:01:13Speaker 1: about that. By the way. You just wait, little Eddie
- 1:01:17Speaker 1: Pinero is going to have his day in the in
- 1:01:18Speaker 1: the sun. Man, it's gonna look like it's gonna look
- 1:01:21Speaker 1: like Jake Moody two point zero all over again. So
- 1:01:24Speaker 1: that's that's the prediction we're gonna give you. All right,
- 1:01:26Speaker 1: we talked about kickers twice.
- 1:01:28Speaker 6: Ratings are dropping like a rock. Kickers.
- 1:01:31Speaker 1: They weren't there in the first talk about kickers on
- 1:01:33Speaker 1: this show. They weren't there in the first place. Don't
- 1:01:35Speaker 1: worry about it?
- 1:01:37Speaker 6: Should we talk about the punning?
- 1:01:38Speaker 1: Ooh my more Stead versus more Stead versus Dixon. Who
- 1:01:42Speaker 1: you got go? Let's go.
- 1:01:45Speaker 6: I can't wait. This is gonna be. This is what
- 1:01:47Speaker 6: it's about. Man, we're talking week eighteen. Yeah, for the
- 1:01:50Speaker 6: number one seed. But real quick, I know Richmore doesn't care.
- 1:01:53Speaker 6: It's the holidays you're not even getting right now.
- 1:01:55Speaker 1: He's not even he's not even here. He's not even here.
- 1:01:57Speaker 6: There's no ratings book. It's fine, Hey, who needs home field?
- 1:02:02Speaker 6: They advantage more Seattle or San Francisco.
- 1:02:04Speaker 1: Well, Seattle. Seattle's only lost once on the road this year.
- 1:02:08Speaker 6: Yeah, that's true. They're great on the road. You could
- 1:02:11Speaker 6: they do you think they could? You think from the
- 1:02:13Speaker 6: five seed they could. They're not gonna be the sixth seed.
- 1:02:16Speaker 6: So if the worst they could be is the five seeds,
- 1:02:18Speaker 6: the five seed, they would play either Carolina or the Bucks.
- 1:02:21Speaker 1: They beat both of those teams.
- 1:02:23Speaker 6: And then probably let's see, if the six or seven
- 1:02:25Speaker 6: didn't win, then they'd be right there playing like they
- 1:02:28Speaker 6: If they lost, they'd be playing the Niners in like
- 1:02:29Speaker 6: the second round, and we would do this all over.
- 1:02:31Speaker 1: It's not even the home field that I'm not worried about.
- 1:02:33Speaker 1: It's to buy. We want that extra everybody wants. Everybody
- 1:02:37Speaker 1: wants to buy.
- 1:02:38Speaker 2: In two games at home and you go to the
- 1:02:40Speaker 2: super Bowl, that's it.
- 1:02:41Speaker 6: That's yeah.
- 1:02:42Speaker 1: But if you're asking who needs it more, I would
- 1:02:44Speaker 1: say Seattle is such a great road team, it doesn't
- 1:02:47Speaker 1: matter as much to them. I think that. And then
- 1:02:50Speaker 1: and the numbers do bear that out so well.
- 1:02:52Speaker 6: And here's the one thing the rest of the NFL
- 1:02:54Speaker 6: should be afraid about, because you and I have had
- 1:02:56Speaker 6: this conversation before. The home field advantage was not a
- 1:02:59Speaker 6: home field advantag it was it was maybe the best
- 1:03:01Speaker 6: in the league for a long time, and then it
- 1:03:03Speaker 6: went away and now it's bad.
- 1:03:04Speaker 1: It's bad. It's no, you're right. That is the thing.
- 1:03:07Speaker 1: Like a year ago, if we had this conversation that say, eh,
- 1:03:11Speaker 1: you know whatever, No, the whole field advanage limit field
- 1:03:13Speaker 1: is back. All right, listen, I gotta go. I'm very late.
- 1:03:15Speaker 1: I don't care if they're listen. Do me a favorite,
- 1:03:18Speaker 1: Do not bother me on Saturday? All right, I'm gonna
- 1:03:20Speaker 1: be drinking heavily. I don't want to hear from you.
- 1:03:22Speaker 1: I don't want to see. So that's different from any
- 1:03:25Speaker 1: other Saturday for you. Most Saturdays, well most saturdays I
- 1:03:30Speaker 1: have hockey geam to do, so I'm being a professional.
- 1:03:32Speaker 1: But this one we do. Does that mean that you
- 1:03:33Speaker 1: don't drink well, not on the sat. No, let's think
- 1:03:36Speaker 1: that just means you have a flask. They frown on that.
- 1:03:39Speaker 1: You know what's wild? Hey, you'll love this, You'll love this.
- 1:03:43Speaker 1: I got two flasks for Christmas, both both from family members.
- 1:03:50Speaker 1: What does that say about me?
- 1:03:53Speaker 2: They should be the ones that know, how many flasks
- 1:03:55Speaker 2: do you already have?
- 1:03:56Speaker 1: Well, I didn't have enough apparently enough. Yeah, all right,
- 1:03:59Speaker 1: that's where where can we find you these days? You're

- 1:07:41Speaker 7: did both for softiing Dick two to five because we
- 1:07:42Speaker 7: had a bit in between two Bowl games.
- 1:07:44Speaker 1: Yeah, two a seid time about Schnyderer and thinking about it.
- 1:07:48Speaker 1: Schneider twice hood winked the team into buying our washed
- 1:07:50Speaker 1: up quarterback with the big dead cat number We've had
- 1:07:52Speaker 1: to eat and got picks we used to rebuild Bowdown. Yeah,
- 1:07:54Speaker 1: Schnider's just done an incredible job, man, Yeah, he has
- 1:07:57Speaker 1: done an incredible job. How does Soft you have more
- 1:08:01Speaker 1: time off with Santa Claus? Got there's just a massive, random,
- 1:08:04Speaker 1: random text today. How does he have more time off

- 1:08:07Speaker 7: Really?
- 1:08:08Speaker 1: I think Santa Claus is working, man. I mean, do
- 1:08:10Speaker 1: you think about it? What takes a whole year probably
- 1:08:12Speaker 1: put that list together, doesn't it.
- 1:08:14Speaker 6: Yeah?
- 1:08:14Speaker 1: He may take Boxing day off, like maybe he takes
- 1:08:17Speaker 1: twenty six off.
- 1:08:17Speaker 7: Maybe a couple of days from the maybe from Christmas
- 1:08:20Speaker 7: to New Year Santa takes off.
- 1:08:21Speaker 1: Yeah, that's about it. I enjoy seeing a scal on
- 1:08:24Speaker 1: mcveigh's face after a loss. That really brings me joy.
- 1:08:30Speaker 1: I mean, it's just enough time. But I do hate
- 1:08:33Speaker 1: the Rams more than forty nine ers. I see. I
- 1:08:36Speaker 1: don't share that. I think part of it's McVeigh. Yeah,
- 1:08:40Speaker 1: I just and I don't know, like m how do
- 1:08:42Speaker 1: you know? Shitan's just as bad.
- 1:08:45Speaker 7: He's not as I don't know, he's not as Uie.
- 1:08:49Speaker 1: Yeah, we don't have time today. We'll do that next week. Yeah,
- 1:08:52Speaker 1: I just because it's I think it's a good question.
- 1:08:53Speaker 1: It is. I really don't like Stafford or his wife.
- 1:08:57Speaker 1: I was gonna say I don't like his wife, but yeah,
- 1:09:00Speaker 1: I don't like I don't like George Kettle. I'm gonna
- 1:09:03Speaker 1: read this even though I shouldn't, but I'm gonna read
- 1:09:05Speaker 1: it anyway. It just came in. It's wrong on every
- 1:09:08Speaker 1: level because we're talking about serial killers. Choosing between Tebow
- 1:09:14Speaker 1: or Spain is like Bundy or Manson. I'm with you.
- 1:09:17Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I shouldn't do it. You're right. Yeah, you're right, man.
- 1:09:22Speaker 1: That's who did Who did a better job? John or Jerry? Well,
- 1:09:27Speaker 1: I don't know. John's been to super Bowls, won one,
- 1:09:32Speaker 1: been to two conference championships, been to the playoffs double
- 1:09:39Speaker 1: digit times during his fifteen years. Has it been your longer?
- 1:09:42Speaker 6: Too?
- 1:09:43Speaker 1: Oh? Well, not bad four years longer, right, four years longer,
- 1:09:48Speaker 1: I mean close, sir, after this year. But really, what
- 1:09:51Speaker 1: have we have We've had We've had one year this year,
- 1:09:55Speaker 1: I mean the other year of the playoff year. Kay,
- 1:09:57Speaker 1: they won a mini series and they lost the next round.
- 1:09:59Speaker 7: All right, I think all most people would look at
- 1:10:01Speaker 7: this John Schneider tenure and have it be like more successful.
- 1:10:04Speaker 7: But compared to expectations previously, I think it's a closer
- 1:10:09Speaker 7: match because the Seahawks had been to a super Bowl
- 1:10:13Speaker 7: before John Schneider.
- 1:10:14Speaker 1: Got there, yeah, five years prior. Yep.
- 1:10:18Speaker 7: Yeah, So I'm not I'm not saying that, you know,
- 1:10:22Speaker 7: Jerry's had a better tenure than John Schneider, But when
- 1:10:25Speaker 7: you put it in the context of compared to expectations, yeah, yeah.
- 1:10:29Speaker 1: The expectations for the Seahawks are always higher, the way higher.
- 1:10:31Speaker 1: I mean because even when the Seahawks you go back.
- 1:10:33Speaker 1: I mean, Chuck Knox has success, right right, right, Mike
- 1:10:37Speaker 1: Holmberanna have success obviously, Pete and John and now John
- 1:10:41Speaker 1: and Mike and yeah, Renders have had, Lou and Woody
- 1:10:46Speaker 1: and sort of Scott and Jerry maybe Danny and Jerry,
- 1:10:52Speaker 1: we'll see. I mean, they should be a playoff team
- 1:10:54Speaker 1: next year. But baseball's hard, I mean very easily couldn't be.
- 1:10:58Speaker 1: What was it there three teams in the American League
- 1:11:01Speaker 1: last year that didn't make it this year, or playoff teams.
- 1:11:03Speaker 7: Yeah, anyway, something like that, right, So into City Baltimore, Yeah, right,
- 1:11:08Speaker 7: Cleveland it was.
- 1:11:10Speaker 1: There's one of the team I'm training Texas, Yes, Texas. Yeah, okay,
- 1:11:16Speaker 1: we're good. We're good. All right, we'll check it with Spas.
- 1:11:18Speaker 1: Not Softie so famous coming up next. Alrighty, here we
- 1:11:36Speaker 1: go wrap it things up. Richard L. Fane coach Faine
- 1:11:40Speaker 1: is he's going to Mountaineer High School with the boys
- 1:11:42Speaker 1: basketball team. Is here with us. Hello, I'm good you
- 1:11:46Speaker 1: guys off you get no, we have what we have
- 1:11:48Speaker 1: a random January first game. Oh.
- 1:11:51Speaker 9: I think it's part of like it tournament all day tournament. Okay,
- 1:11:55Speaker 9: but we get the seven o'clock slot.
- 1:11:56Speaker 1: So that perfect. That's nice. Yeah, I guess some college football.
- 1:11:58Speaker 1: And before then, yes, where's that? Where's the turney yet?
- 1:12:01Speaker 1: Hayes in high school home of Jayham, the old home
- 1:12:04Speaker 1: of Jason Ham. I didn't know that's where he's from.
- 1:12:06Speaker 9: Oh, Jayham and I are same grade. Okay, okay, same grade.
- 1:12:09Speaker 9: Lots of battles I usually won by Jason Hamilton.
- 1:12:14Speaker 1: I've I've watched many many a game at Hayes in
- 1:12:18Speaker 1: high school over the years. I bet they were they
- 1:12:20Speaker 1: were I think they were four A when my guy
- 1:12:23Speaker 1: was in high school. They see that's one of the schools.
- 1:12:25Speaker 1: Seems to go up and down all the time and
- 1:12:27Speaker 1: all that three now, yeah, they're three A. Oh, you
- 1:12:31Speaker 1: can stop by Chucky's Donuts there when you're up there. Good,
- 1:12:34Speaker 1: that's the juniors a few times on the way to
- 1:12:37Speaker 1: that's the maple bar place. Have you ever had the
- 1:12:38Speaker 1: maple bars that elders used to bring those in and stuff?
- 1:12:41Speaker 1: Those maple bars are just unbelievable. Yeah, yeah, they're probably
- 1:12:44Speaker 1: gone by seven, probably not even open door shops don't
- 1:12:47Speaker 1: stay open, that's not unless it's Tim Horton's in Canada
- 1:12:49Speaker 1: or something like that, their version of Starbucks. So what's
- 1:12:52Speaker 1: on your mind today? What's coming up?
- 1:12:54Speaker 4: Oh?
- 1:12:54Speaker 9: Man, Mike Florio will join us. Uh, you know, we
- 1:12:56Speaker 9: moved and since we don't have a show tomorrow, we're like, hey, Mike,
- 1:12:59Speaker 9: you know, because you could you might be.
- 1:13:01Speaker 1: Able to join. Okay with that because it's not softy
- 1:13:03Speaker 1: as he's not here, that might have helped.
- 1:13:05Speaker 9: Yeah, whatever Jackson reached out to him, he's gonna come
- 1:13:09Speaker 9: on to his regular three ten time. Uh great, you
- 1:13:11Speaker 9: can talk about Stephan Stephan Diggs. That's just scary, weird strangulation. Yeah,
- 1:13:18Speaker 9: that's not a word. You ever want to read?
- 1:13:20Speaker 1: What I love the Patriots? Well, you know, we're where
- 1:13:23Speaker 1: are the allegations and we'll I'll come out, which you know,
- 1:13:25Speaker 1: I get that, like they want him to play.
- 1:13:27Speaker 9: Of course I'm gonna I'm gonna ask Mike about Okay,
- 1:13:30Speaker 9: that's great, but what about the NFL.
- 1:13:32Speaker 1: The NFL is gonna win. That's the key, right, because
- 1:13:34Speaker 1: the NFL can. The NFL has no problem shutting guys
- 1:13:37Speaker 1: down before they're convicted. That's exactly right. I have no.
- 1:13:39Speaker 9: Elliott right, Like he was suspended for a long time
- 1:13:43Speaker 9: before even charges.
- 1:13:44Speaker 1: Well was it was it Jaron Reid that got that?
- 1:13:47Speaker 1: Or was it who was the Sea defensive lineman years
- 1:13:49Speaker 1: ago that got it? Was a year later? And as
- 1:13:53Speaker 1: it turned out, basically I don't I don't want to
- 1:13:55Speaker 1: say there's a Sea defensive lineman that got suspended for
- 1:13:58Speaker 1: like the first five or six games. This would have
- 1:14:01Speaker 1: been like twenty eighteen, nineteen, somewhere in there, maybe maybe
- 1:14:04Speaker 1: twenty two. And it was for an instant in the
- 1:14:07Speaker 1: Bellevue Hotel or something that happened. Who was it, Jess.
- 1:14:11Speaker 1: Jess is flying through the Okay, she's flying through the
- 1:14:13Speaker 1: old oldbile right now. But he was never charged. He
- 1:14:17Speaker 1: was did general, never charged, never convicted. Yeah, but six
- 1:14:22Speaker 1: games they suspended the six games. Yeah, I remember that.

- 1:14:28Speaker 1: had a they had like a bachelor party or something
- 1:14:30Speaker 1: like that, and the strippers and kicked him out. Yeah, yeah,
- 1:14:35Speaker 1: and they and then they got a little out of hand.
- 1:14:36Speaker 1: Girlfriends got there and things happened and she got into
- 1:14:39Speaker 1: a fight. Zeke. It was twenty seventeen. I remember he was.

- 1:14:45Speaker 9: Don't care, No, they don't care. And you can be
- 1:14:47Speaker 9: innocent and but just you might have disrespected the shield. Yeah,
- 1:14:50Speaker 9: I gotta protect the shield there. So we're gonna we're
- 1:14:53Speaker 9: gonna talk to Mike about that and get his thoughts
- 1:14:55Speaker 9: about the big get the big match up against San Francisco,
- 1:14:58Speaker 9: speaking of which Grant Cohen will join us from the
- 1:15:00Speaker 9: Bay Area talk about a lot less offensive than Lund
- 1:15:04Speaker 9: was today. Is that right, Well, Grant hates the Niners.
- 1:15:07Speaker 9: Oh so we actually got a guy that dislikes Kyle
- 1:15:10Speaker 9: Shanahan and dislikes them are Rams. Yeah, we brought this
- 1:15:17Speaker 9: up for Oh, it just it just depends on the year. Right,
- 1:15:24Speaker 9: this year it's probably been been Rams. The Niners have
- 1:15:27Speaker 9: been kind of out of sight, out of mind for
- 1:15:30Speaker 9: so long, and then here they are like the undertaker.
- 1:15:32Speaker 1: Just well they're you know, coming out of the coffin.
- 1:15:35Speaker 1: They're a cockroach. They won't go away exactly, Like you've
- 1:15:38Speaker 1: got all these injuries, you're still there. Yes, I just
- 1:15:40Speaker 1: find McVeigh annoying. I can see you and everybody with
- 1:15:46Speaker 1: the last name Stafford annoying.
- 1:15:49Speaker 9: Well, what I can't figure out is like Stafford's just
- 1:15:52Speaker 9: horrible last night, and it's like, oh, there's nobody ripping Stafford. Meanwhile,
- 1:15:58Speaker 9: our guy here in Seattle, he looks like crap in
- 1:16:01Speaker 9: the half and he always comes pulls it out and
- 1:16:03Speaker 9: wins the football game. And he's horrible, Like he's terrible,
- 1:16:06Speaker 9: But Matthew Stafford can throw picks. He can he can
- 1:16:09Speaker 9: just leave a guy wide open for the game winning
- 1:16:12Speaker 9: touchdown and miss him by three yards. Oh I still
- 1:16:15Speaker 9: miss still Matt Stafford, he's the goat man.
- 1:16:19Speaker 1: Well. I think Drake mad May smiling right now because
- 1:16:22Speaker 1: he might have won the MVP last night after that.
- 1:16:24Speaker 1: But you're right. Second half Sam, second half Sam's great.
- 1:16:27Speaker 1: But I'd rather have second half Sam in the second
- 1:16:29Speaker 1: half than first half Sam in the second half. At
- 1:16:32Speaker 1: least he does in the right order for you or yes.
- 1:16:35Speaker 9: And John Wilner at five o'clock, so plenty on the
- 1:16:37Speaker 9: show today. We got a lot of college to talk
- 1:16:38Speaker 9: about with John. All right, we'll see that
- 1:16:40Speaker 2: For the mild mannered and marginally objectionable in forness, this
- 1:16:45Speaker 2: is paddle day saying so long everyone,
