• 1:58
  Speaker 1: I know how you get taco sauce on your poofball though.
• 2:02
  Speaker 5: It was actually very simple.
• 2:04
  Speaker 8: I last week, during the game, had to go home
• 2:07
  Speaker 8: at halftime to let my dog out. When I came back,
• 2:10
  Speaker 8: the third quarter was already starting. Everyone ate at halftime,
• 2:12
  Speaker 8: and so I was like, I don't care about eating.
• 2:15
  Speaker 8: I care about football. And then when I was gonna
• 2:17
  Speaker 8: go at a commercial break to eat, all the food
• 2:18
  Speaker 8: was gone, like it was all put away.
• 2:20
  Speaker 5: So I just didn't eat.

  Speaker 5: I was like, why is there some crustup?
• 2:47

  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what I thought going to be the end.
• 3:00
  Speaker 5: Let's go with that.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: It's probably the righting. She just fabricated.
• 3:04

  Speaker 4: Sam Darnold just threw a touchdown pass the Jays end
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: in the back of the end zone.

  Speaker 5: Well that's all I told you about.

  Speaker 9: Yeah, it's a Bronco Friday. Oh, I also think it's
• 4:28
  Speaker 9: a Seahawks Friday.
• 4:29
  Speaker 5: It's a championship Friday.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: It's a blue Friday, regardless, both our teams in Yeah, yeah, well,
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: it's exciting.
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: We've talked about it all week long, and we've got
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: four more hours to get you pumped, to get you
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: primed for Sunday as the Seahawks get ready to take
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: on the Los Angeles Rams. Winner goes to Super Bowl sixty.
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: Patriots take on the Broncos. Winner goes to Super Bowl sixty.
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: I've been saying this all week long. It's made Ashley
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: nervous about the seahow when I say that, does I
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: make you nervous about your Broncos when I put it
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: that way?
• 5:04
  Speaker 8: No, well, I think, yeah, it doesn't make me nervous
• 5:07
  Speaker 8: when you say they're playing and the winner goes it's
• 5:10
  Speaker 8: only when we start planning for the winner to be
• 5:13
  Speaker 8: the Seahawks.
• 5:13
  Speaker 5: Okay, that's why next week's calendar is blank.
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: Perfect introduction to today's first topic of discussion, because I
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: do want to gauge not just hours, but everybody's.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: Confidence heading into Sunday.
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: And I think I'm gonna make Ashley knock on her
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: forehead forty four.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: Times this second, which would be a new record. The
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: old record was three.
• 5:36
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 5:36
  Speaker 5: No, that would be I would go knocking nuts.
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: Yeah, And she wrote knock nuts but before we get
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: into the conversation, let me tell you, because obviously this
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: is more important than conference championship Sunday, please go Your

  Speaker 4: thousand dollars in powerplay cash in this nationwide contest. Well,
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: the national interest will be driven toward Seattle on Sunday
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: three thirty kickoffs Seahawks taking on the Rams. Ashley posted
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: a confidence poll yesterday after our show, so ten o
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: three am, and it's kind of existed overnight but probably
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: got buried a little bit.
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: But that's fine.
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: We weren't even going to discuss it until this moment
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: here today. But very simple, just how confident are you
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: feeling about the Seahawks versus Rams on Sunday? And you
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: have three options. Very confident, confident, not confident at all.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: I have voted. I picked very confident. Wow, I pick
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: very confident.
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: I'm very confident in this and certainly I have all
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: the respect in the world of the Rams. There's no
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: way this is ending in a thirty five point win,
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: no for the Seahawks on Sunday any I'm a firm
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: believer that anything can happen in any given day. I mean,
• 7:23
  Speaker 4: I once saw the San Francisco forty nine ers get
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: this far and have to play a running back at
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: quarterback in this game. So I mean, anything can happen
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: on any given day on an NFL Sunday or Saturday,
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: certainly a playoff game.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: So I'm not naive. I'm not over the top with this.
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: I get it.
• 7:44
  Speaker 4: The Rams very well could be celebrating at the end
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: of the Sunday night. But in terms of how do
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: I dissect this game, I look at the two teams,
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: what do they look like on paper? Where are they
• 7:56
  Speaker 4: at at this point in the season. I mean, it's
• 7:59
  Speaker 4: just I just really believe that the Seahawks are gonna
• 8:03
  Speaker 4: have to really fall off the cliff in order not
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: to win this game. I just think that they are
• 8:09
  Speaker 4: rolling into this game playing their very best football. They
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: are healthy, considering you know where we are at this
• 8:17
  Speaker 4: point in the season, probably healthier than just about any
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: NFL team I've seen this late in a year, and
• 8:24
  Speaker 4: and I just like the matchup for US. I mean,
• 8:27
  Speaker 4: I think that we've got a great quarterback matchup. I
• 8:30
  Speaker 4: think we've got a great head coaching matchup. The Rams
• 8:33
  Speaker 4: are also good without weakness really, but they have not
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: been playing as well here down the stretch, especially on
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: the defensive side of the ball. And I just think
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: the Seahawks are playing their absolute best right now. I
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: don't think the moment's too big for them. I think
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: the fans will help from that standpoint, that they're gonna
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: give them that boost.
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: And so I just am very confident.
• 8:57
  Speaker 4: I think they're winning, and I think that they're gonna
• 8:59
  Speaker 4: win around by more than seven points on Sunday.
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: So put me in the very confident list.
• 9:05
  Speaker 6: Where are you at?
• 9:06
  Speaker 9: But I would say confident and and yeah, securely there.
• 9:12
  Speaker 9: I mean, I'm nowhere near no confidence at all. But
• 9:16
  Speaker 9: I'm not really very close to very confident either. I
• 9:20
  Speaker 9: just I've seen over the course of the entire season
• 9:24
  Speaker 9: both of these teams show that they are the best
• 9:27
  Speaker 9: team in the NFL at different periods during the time,
• 9:29
  Speaker 9: and then you take their individual matchups and we've seen
• 9:33
  Speaker 9: both teams outperform the other ones. I mean definitively outperform them.
• 9:37
  Speaker 9: I mean I don't want to I don't even though.
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: They didn't win either one of the games that they
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: outperformed the other end. Well yeah, yeah, kind of yeah.
• 9:44
  Speaker 9: I mean it's the idea of, well, if Sam Darnold
• 9:49
  Speaker 9: doesn't throw four picks, then you win that game. Well yeah,
• 9:52
  Speaker 9: but he did, and and they they caught them, right,
• 9:55
  Speaker 9: I mean it's that.
• 9:56
  Speaker 5: Uh and they had that perfect punch, you know.
• 9:58
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 9:58
  Speaker 9: Matt Hassebec was saying, you just take the you catch
• 10:01
  Speaker 9: the ones that they give you.
• 10:03
  Speaker 6: Right.
• 10:03
  Speaker 9: Don't make a mistake. Is if a quarterback makes a
• 10:06
  Speaker 9: mistake and then you drop it or you don't pick
• 10:09
  Speaker 9: that ball off. Well, that's one thing Matt Stafford does.
• 10:12
  Speaker 9: I mean, we talk about Sam Donald, we want him
• 10:14
  Speaker 9: to rip it and fit that thing in tight windows.
• 10:17
  Speaker 9: Matt Stafford does that and at times it goes to
• 10:19
  Speaker 9: your DB's hands. And if you can take advantage of that,
• 10:24
  Speaker 9: then you get up getting turnovers. That's basically what they
• 10:27
  Speaker 9: did in that first game. So to me, it's just
• 10:29
  Speaker 9: I can see so many different ways in which both
• 10:31
  Speaker 9: teams could win it. The confidence that I have is
• 10:34
  Speaker 9: based on where they're at right now, what I've witnessed
• 10:38
  Speaker 9: as of late, and as of late, Matt Stafford doesn't
• 10:42
  Speaker 9: necessarily look like himself in his couple of playoff games.
• 10:44
  Speaker 9: He's missed some throws because he's got something going on
• 10:47
  Speaker 9: with his finger. Supposedly, Sam Donald hasn't been turning the
• 10:51
  Speaker 9: ball over and really hasn't had to really be used
• 10:54
  Speaker 9: to go out and carry the team because you'll win
• 10:57
  Speaker 9: in your one playoff game by so much against the
• 11:00
  Speaker 9: depleted Niners. It just feels like there's more ways in
• 11:04
  Speaker 9: which the Seahawks should win this game than there is
• 11:07
  Speaker 9: for the Rams at this point. So that kind of
• 11:09
  Speaker 9: leads me down the path of I would be confident
• 11:11
  Speaker 9: if I'm if I'm got a big POOFY hat on
• 11:14
  Speaker 9: a Seahawks hat, that is, if I got a big
• 11:15
  Speaker 9: POOFY Seahawks at I'm feeling pretty good heading into NFC
• 11:19
  Speaker 9: Championship Sunday.
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: All right, Ashley, here we go. What do you think?
• 11:23
  Speaker 5: I also filled out the survey very comfort Oh wow.
• 11:28
  Speaker 4: Yeah, join the sixteen point two percent of the right
• 11:31
  Speaker 4: thinking people in the city.
• 11:33
  Speaker 5: We are in the minority.
• 11:34
  Speaker 8: But that's okay because I do like the majority is confident,
• 11:36
  Speaker 8: and that's okay. Not over confident, that's all right.
• 11:39
  Speaker 5: I just think, I.
• 11:40
  Speaker 8: Mean, the only thing that really has made me nervous
• 11:42
  Speaker 8: is the idea that we don't have Zach Charbonay as
• 11:45
  Speaker 8: a backup but or as a you know, a one
• 11:47
  Speaker 8: and two, because they have been running so well and
• 11:49
  Speaker 8: that was really working so well. But seeing what ken
• 11:53
  Speaker 8: Walker did last week without Zach Charbonay, I'm like, okay,
• 11:56
  Speaker 8: you know.
• 11:56
  Speaker 5: What, you go, you do it, You show us you
• 11:59
  Speaker 5: can do it.
• 12:00
  Speaker 8: Because, as we've been talking about all week, he's had
• 12:02
  Speaker 8: a easy, easier season, right, He's been held back a bit,
• 12:07
  Speaker 8: he's been splitting the carries.
• 12:08
  Speaker 5: He hasn't gotten that wear and tear.
• 12:10
  Speaker 8: So I think you've got that, You've got the defense
• 12:12
  Speaker 8: who is just beyond I mean beyond delete. They are
• 12:16
  Speaker 8: playing so so well, and this entire team plays without ego.
• 12:20
  Speaker 8: They play for each other, they play with each other,
• 12:22
  Speaker 8: and I just I don't know, I just have so
• 12:24
  Speaker 8: much confidence in a team that's like that.
• 12:27
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I mean, I mean, I only have ten
• 12:30
  Speaker 4: years to choose from, but I think it's, uh, it's
• 12:34
  Speaker 4: the team i've liked the most. Yeah, I mean it's
• 12:36
  Speaker 4: easy to say when you've gone sixteen and three, this
• 12:40
  Speaker 4: team I've liked the most.
• 12:41
  Speaker 5: But I also think it's the best team since.
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: I've been here. Now, I got here right.
• 12:46
  Speaker 8: After that yeah, that thing, that thing, Yeah, that's when
• 12:50
  Speaker 8: I arrived, okay.
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: Here in Seattle.
• 12:52
  Speaker 4: So that thing at the one yard line, Yeah, no,
• 12:53
  Speaker 4: I don't. That's when I ride right after it, not
• 12:56
  Speaker 4: during it, not right.
• 12:56
  Speaker 5: Before it, Okay, right after not his father.
• 12:59
  Speaker 4: Right after it is when I arrived here in town.
• 13:03
  Speaker 4: So I didn't get to see the two best teams
• 13:07
  Speaker 4: on a snap by snap basis in Seahawks' history, So
• 13:10
  Speaker 4: I think can see those. But they're certainly the best
• 13:12
  Speaker 4: team that I've seen since I've been in town. And
• 13:16
  Speaker 4: so i'm and I think that the best team that
• 13:18
  Speaker 4: I've seen since I've been in town is playing its
• 13:20
  Speaker 4: best right now heading into this game. They have a
• 13:23
  Speaker 4: bad game, they'll lose it. Yeah, you know, bottom line,
• 13:26
  Speaker 4: you know they have a bad game, then odds are
• 13:29
  Speaker 4: there that the Rams also aren't going to play poorly
• 13:32
  Speaker 4: on Sunday. I just can't see that in the cards.
• 13:35
  Speaker 4: I just can't imagine a scenario where Mike McDonald and
• 13:39
  Speaker 4: the Seahawks don't play at least good football on Sunday.
• 13:44
  Speaker 4: What does the poll say so far? And we'll leave
• 13:46
  Speaker 4: this up throughout the course of the show, Ashley and
• 13:49
  Speaker 4: I are in the minority.
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: There are fewer people that are very.
• 13:54
  Speaker 4: Confident about Sunday than are not confident at.
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: All thus far.
• 13:59
  Speaker 4: Now, we've only got a little over two hundred votes
• 14:02
  Speaker 4: at this point, so I'm sure that that's going to
• 14:04
  Speaker 4: rack up as we go for four hours here today.
• 14:07
  Speaker 4: But the very confident people, i mean, it's even gone
• 14:10
  Speaker 4: down since Ashley and I expressed are confidence. So maybe
• 14:14
  Speaker 4: there's a couple of people all those who are just
• 14:16
  Speaker 4: jinx that not confident at all. Yeah, eighteen percent are
• 14:21
  Speaker 4: not confident at all. But the lion's share of people
• 14:24
  Speaker 4: are in the boat with Bucky, a nice crowded boat.
• 14:27
  Speaker 4: There sixty six vote point four percent of people are confident.
• 14:32
  Speaker 4: So you combine the two and you got eighty two
• 14:36
  Speaker 4: percent of those that have voted are confident.
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: And I'm assuming those are all Seahawks fans are.
• 14:42
  Speaker 4: Confident or better, so that's a pretty good ratio. But yeah,
• 14:47
  Speaker 4: I think it is interesting that there are more that
• 14:50
  Speaker 4: are not confident at all than are very confident.
• 14:52
  Speaker 9: Like Ashley and I Well, I mean I think that
• 14:55
  Speaker 9: there's some folks. I mean, I've heard different arguments right
• 14:58
  Speaker 9: from different sides. Most of the stuff that I listen
• 15:00
  Speaker 9: to is here at our station, and a lot of
• 15:02
  Speaker 9: people that have been following the Seahawks are very confident.
• 15:05
  Speaker 9: For all the reasons you said, how well they're playing
• 15:07
  Speaker 9: right now, it does look like this team is playing,
• 15:09
  Speaker 9: like Ashley said, as one. There's that hype video that
• 15:13
  Speaker 9: they put out there where it's you know, picture yourself
• 15:17
  Speaker 9: in January, It's Championships Sunday, it's wet, it's cold, sucks.
• 15:22
  Speaker 9: It sucks for them basically, not those words, but it
• 15:25
  Speaker 9: sucks for them, not for us. And all of a sudden,
• 15:28
  Speaker 9: it's that the other team knows what they're going up against,
• 15:32
  Speaker 9: eleven that plays as one. They seem like they're a
• 15:35
  Speaker 9: team that is eleven playing as one and everybody wants
• 15:38
  Speaker 9: to be that, but not everybody is that. On the
• 15:41
  Speaker 9: flip side of it, people make the arguments about, well,
• 15:43
  Speaker 9: the Rams have been here before. Yeah, Sam Darnold's playing
• 15:45
  Speaker 9: well and he's done enough all season long. He's done
• 15:48
  Speaker 9: more than enough. Yeah, but he's done enough to lead
• 15:51
  Speaker 9: his team to the number one seed. But he hadn't
• 15:53
  Speaker 9: been in this situation before Matt Stafford has. There's there's
• 15:57
  Speaker 9: something to that if things start to unravel, how you
• 16:00
  Speaker 9: respond to that.
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: Because I think this is going.
• 16:02
  Speaker 9: To be a really hard fought game.
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: I don't think it's shouldn't be a blowout. I don't
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: think it's going to be.
• 16:09
  Speaker 9: I don't think one team's going to play so poorly
• 16:12
  Speaker 9: that the other just has to throw the ball twelve
• 16:14
  Speaker 9: times and they basically just take the air out of
• 16:16
  Speaker 9: the I don't think it's gonna be. I think it's
• 16:18
  Speaker 9: gonna be one of those everything's riding on so many
• 16:22
  Speaker 9: little different factors that that every play matters so much.
• 16:25
  Speaker 9: It just feels like it you're gonna have to go
• 16:27
  Speaker 9: take it from the other team. You're gonna have to go,
• 16:29
  Speaker 9: you know, kind of impose your will on them. And
• 16:32
  Speaker 9: it feels to me more like I would be more
• 16:34
  Speaker 9: confident if you're if I was a Seahawks fan, than
• 16:36
  Speaker 9: a Rams fan, simply because right now, the Seahawks seem
• 16:39
  Speaker 9: to be the team that is willing to sniper the
• 16:41
  Speaker 9: will of whoever steps out there on the field against them.
• 16:44
  Speaker 8: And there's a reason why most Seahawks fans didn't want
• 16:46
  Speaker 8: to see the Rams again, right, I mean, they are good,
• 16:48
  Speaker 8: and it is and the two matchups have been so
• 16:51
  Speaker 8: close and so stressful, and I do think this one
• 16:53
  Speaker 8: is going to be close score wise, but I do
• 16:56
  Speaker 8: think the Seahawks will outplay them, and I think the
• 16:59
  Speaker 8: score won't reflect how well the Seahawks played, if that
• 17:03
  Speaker 8: makes sense. Like, I think we'll win by within ten,
• 17:06
  Speaker 8: but I think the Seahawks will have outplayed them by
• 17:09
  Speaker 8: quite a bit.
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: Okay, all right, that would be my all right, Yeah,
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: I like it.
• 17:13
  Speaker 8: And I think one of the moments too, that I've
• 17:15
  Speaker 8: seen in this last week kind of is the epitome
• 17:18
  Speaker 8: of this team. Have you seen that video of Grey's
• 17:20
  Speaker 8: Abel and Leonard Williams And.
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: I've heard the story, I haven't actually seen the video.
• 17:25
  Speaker 8: Yeah, And Leonard Williams was having trouble with something and
• 17:28
  Speaker 8: great kind of on the bench just was like, hey man,
• 17:30
  Speaker 8: try this, Like notice that he's doing this every single time.
• 17:34
  Speaker 5: You just make this move, You're you're gonna get right there.
• 17:37
  Speaker 8: And it worked and Big Cat came right back and
• 17:39
  Speaker 8: I was like, yeah, man, that was great, thank you.
• 17:41
  Speaker 5: I mean, no ego, it was awesome.
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, it's fun and a fun team. Been a
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: fun season.
• 17:47
  Speaker 4: But there is more to do, not just Sunday, but
• 17:50
  Speaker 4: hopefully beyond.
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: Knock on your head.
• 17:52
  Speaker 4: All right, let's find out what's on tap for today's
• 17:55

• 18:38
  Speaker 4: so we'll do that at eight thirty this morning. That's
• 18:42
  Speaker 4: part of the lineup. Congratulations to John Schneider. I still
• 18:45
  Speaker 4: don't know if this is like the official official NFL
• 18:48
  Speaker 4: Executive of the Year award, because like every publication hands
• 18:52
  Speaker 4: these awards out and yet we only officially recognized one,
• 18:56
  Speaker 4: and I know we haven't officially recognized the official NFL.
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: MVP, So I don't know if this.
• 19:04
  Speaker 4: Is the official NFL Executive of the Year award, But
• 19:08
  Speaker 4: a lot of people are treating it that way overnight anyway,
• 19:11
  Speaker 4: so you know what, it shouldn't be anybody else. John
• 19:15
  Speaker 4: Schneider should run away with this. He's never won the
• 19:19
  Speaker 4: award before, so I guess I'll just follow the pack.
• 19:22
  Speaker 4: Congratulations to John Schneider. Very well deserved NFL Executive of
• 19:29
  Speaker 4: the Year and the last two years combined, I mean,
• 19:32
  Speaker 4: is not even close what John Schneider has done compared
• 19:36
  Speaker 4: to other gms, and they're in a lot of other
• 19:38
  Speaker 4: good gms over the last couple of years. But man,
• 19:41
  Speaker 4: everything he's touched has turned to gold these last two years.
• 19:44
  Speaker 4: So congratulations to him. Well deserved. AFC Championship game is
• 19:49
  Speaker 4: the first game on Sunday.
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: It'll be at noon.
• 19:51
  Speaker 4: It'll be the Patriots at the Denver Broncos. NFL news
• 19:55
  Speaker 4: overnight the Baltimore Ravens have filled their head coaching vacancy.
• 20:00
  Speaker 4: Will be former Ravens assistant and most recently Chargers defensive coordinator,
• 20:06
  Speaker 4: the young Jesse Mentor is heading to Baltimore. We'll discuss
• 20:10
  Speaker 4: more of that coming up here in our next segment
• 20:13
  Speaker 4: because we will have a sharcoachery board for you today. Also,
• 20:17
  Speaker 4: Fernando Mendoza made it officially, has entered the NFL Draft,
• 20:20
  Speaker 4: where he is expected to be the number one pick
• 20:23
  Speaker 4: in the draft. But will it be by the Raiders.
• 20:27
  Speaker 4: I'm getting reckless at breakfast this morning. Something I just
• 20:30
  Speaker 4: can't wait. I can't wait till I can't wait till
• 20:32
  Speaker 4: next Tuesday. I'm gonna throw something by the two of you.
• 20:35
  Speaker 4: College basketball, Well, it's part of duck season this weekend.
• 20:39
  Speaker 4: We are facing them on the ice tonight and we
• 20:43
  Speaker 4: are facing them on the hardwood on Sunday. So I
• 20:46
  Speaker 4: don't know what's going on, but suddenly Seattle has entered
• 20:50
  Speaker 4: duck season here at the end of January. So Udub
• 20:54
  Speaker 4: versus Oregon and college basketball Sunday at noon Kraken versus
• 20:58
  Speaker 4: the Anaheim Mighty Ducks. Not the Mighty anymore, but you
• 21:01
  Speaker 4: get my drift. That's tonight at seven o'clock. I will
• 21:04
  Speaker 4: also tell you this, there's some people out there that
• 21:07
  Speaker 4: are floating around Shane Wright might get traded. Rumors out
• 21:11
  Speaker 4: there before the trading deadline, in a go for it
• 21:14
  Speaker 4: move from the Kraken. I wish we had some more
• 21:16
  Speaker 4: time to talk about it today, but maybe a little
• 21:19
  Speaker 4: bit of frustration with Shane Wright's lack of aggression. He
• 21:22
  Speaker 4: was supposed to take the big step forward this year.
• 21:25
  Speaker 4: So there are some people writing articles out there nationally
• 21:28
  Speaker 4: that think that maybe that could be the move for
• 21:31
  Speaker 4: a team that desperately needs a veteran star. Maybe they
• 21:34
  Speaker 4: go to a rebuilding team trade them the young Shane
• 21:37
  Speaker 4: Wright for an established star in the league. That's something
• 21:41
  Speaker 4: that started to float around out there and certainly worth.
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: Paying attention to.
• 21:46
  Speaker 4: And I hope we get a chance to talk a
• 21:47
  Speaker 4: little Major League Baseball because it turns out MLB Network
• 21:51
  Speaker 4: believes the Seattle Mariners have two of the best sixteen
• 21:53
  Speaker 4: baseball players in the world right now. They finish their
• 21:58
  Speaker 4: top one hundred players right now. Rankings show last night
• 22:01
  Speaker 4: which stretched out over the entire week. Julio Rodriguez the
• 22:05
  Speaker 4: sixteenth best player according to the Pole and Cal Raley
• 22:09
  Speaker 4: the fourth best player in baseball according to the poll.
• 22:13
  Speaker 4: Only two other teams in baseball had two players within
• 22:16
  Speaker 4: the top sixteen, the Mets and the Dodgers being the
• 22:20
  Speaker 4: other two. Brendan Donovan rumors continue to possibly be traded
• 22:25
  Speaker 4: to the Seattle Mariners. Mariners are interested, they have issued
• 22:30
  Speaker 4: forth their final offer, according to reports, and are just
• 22:35
  Speaker 4: waiting on the really quiet, silent Saint Louis Cardinals, who
• 22:38
  Speaker 4: are operating in a very strange fashion this entire offseason.
• 22:42
  Speaker 4: Texas Rangers added Mackenzie Gore yesterday, so a really good
• 22:46
  Speaker 4: pitcher has been added to a division rival since last
• 22:50
  Speaker 4: we spoke. The left hander for the Washington Nationals was
• 22:53
  Speaker 4: not only their ace was a legitimate All Star a
• 22:56
  Speaker 4: year ago. And the new Stove podcast is out with
• 22:59

  Speaker 1: Good morning, Greg, Happy Friday.
• 27:51
  Speaker 6: Happy Friday, Good morning.
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: How the show go last night? Did you solve football?
• 27:58
  Speaker 6: Did a good time?
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: You got.
• 28:01
  Speaker 6: Phone calls? Somethody called from Saint Louis.
• 28:04
  Speaker 4: Oh nice man, I listened some, yeah, I listen some yeah,
• 28:08
  Speaker 4: good stuff, good stuff.
• 28:09
  Speaker 6: I appreciate it. You know it's interesting.
• 28:12
  Speaker 4: All right, Well, here we go Sunday, it goes down
• 28:17
  Speaker 4: and you've been around this team all weekend long. Give
• 28:20
  Speaker 4: us the temperature of the room right now here is
• 28:23
  Speaker 4: we're two days away from the biggest game of the year.
• 28:27
  Speaker 6: Well, Chuck, it has shuck me that they have treated
• 28:29
  Speaker 6: this like it's a game in October, and at least
• 28:32
  Speaker 6: they're talking like that. And it speaks to how McDonald
• 28:35
  Speaker 6: has Mike McDonald really instills the importance of the process
• 28:40
  Speaker 6: and the least throughout the building. And they have fifteen
• 28:42
  Speaker 6: wins in eighteen games to prove it. Twenty five wins
• 28:45
  Speaker 6: and thirty five games since McDonald became their coach before
• 28:49
  Speaker 6: the twenty twenty four season. That his way works, and
• 28:53
  Speaker 6: his way is the process that you'll win if you
• 28:57
  Speaker 6: perfect the process from Monday to Saturday, and the process
• 29:01
  Speaker 6: being the game plan, the practicing, the studying, every man
• 29:05
  Speaker 6: doing their his own own job, and so the I
• 29:10
  Speaker 6: mean every coach says that, but McDonald has the results
• 29:14
  Speaker 6: to back that a process oriented approach works, and that
• 29:18
  Speaker 6: comes in handy at a time like this when the
• 29:19
  Speaker 6: game comes so outsized and dig and hype and all
• 29:23
  Speaker 6: of that. The players are talking and acting as though
• 29:27
  Speaker 6: they're playing Tampa Bay in early October, and that has
• 29:33
  Speaker 6: struck me as I talked to guys about this, They
• 29:36
  Speaker 6: just nobody's going on and on about the fact, hey,
• 29:39
  Speaker 6: we're in the NFC Championship game. Julian Love has talked
• 29:42
  Speaker 6: a little bit about you look, we got it. We
• 29:43
  Speaker 6: understand the importance of these games and we may never
• 29:46
  Speaker 6: get back here again. But that's not an overriding thing.
• 29:52
  Speaker 6: The overriding thing is let's do our jobs. Let's do
• 29:55
  Speaker 6: what the coaches are telling us to do, and the
• 29:58
  Speaker 6: players at this point, I have a real confidence in
• 30:02
  Speaker 6: man these game plans work, especially on defense. When McDonald
• 30:07
  Speaker 6: has us do something, he gives them the why and
• 30:09
  Speaker 6: he tells him here's why we're doing and they have
• 30:12
  Speaker 6: almost blind allegiance now because it's a success of just
• 30:16
  Speaker 6: rampant success they've had, especially on defense. He's almost a
• 30:21
  Speaker 6: wizard in that regard. It's amazing for someone who's only
• 30:24
  Speaker 6: even a head coach for two seasons to have this
• 30:27
  Speaker 6: much allegiance from his players such buy in because of
• 30:32
  Speaker 6: the success that came so quickly.
• 30:34
  Speaker 4: I would hope that's like Drake Thomas isn't sitting there going, gosh, Mike,
• 30:38
  Speaker 4: I don't know about this, yeah.
• 30:40
  Speaker 6: Exactly, but that you know you joke. But that happens
• 30:44
  Speaker 6: in this league, and especially with older players and younger coaches,
• 30:49
  Speaker 6: and if you don't, especially as a younger coach, if
• 30:51
  Speaker 6: you don't have immediate success. There is a little bit
• 30:54
  Speaker 6: of that even among younger players, but especially among Leonard
• 30:58
  Speaker 6: Williams type players and Dear Florence have been in the
• 31:00
  Speaker 6: league eleven twelve years. There are countless examples that I
• 31:05
  Speaker 6: could cite around the league, and I've covered some teams
• 31:07
  Speaker 6: who have been with coaches. Has covered one in Oakland
• 31:11
  Speaker 6: in fact, with coaches who players didn't trust and didn't
• 31:15
  Speaker 6: think this is gonna work. And McDonald if you would
• 31:20
  Speaker 6: go twenty five and ten and get your team to
• 31:24
  Speaker 6: conference title game for the first time in eleven years
• 31:26
  Speaker 6: in your second season, it's obvious you know what the
• 31:29
  Speaker 6: hell you're doing.
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 31:31
  Speaker 9: Gee, I'm wondering if either coaching staff tries to make
• 31:35
  Speaker 9: a definitive change on how they go about some of
• 31:39
  Speaker 9: their game management situations. I mean, I was looking back
• 31:41
  Speaker 9: last night. I mean the Rams had a turnover run
• 31:45
  Speaker 9: down each of their first possessions, and the first game
• 31:48
  Speaker 9: that they played and the second game they played, I
• 31:50
  Speaker 9: mean both of them were you know, the second one
• 31:53
  Speaker 9: I think was down there, down at the one yard
• 31:56
  Speaker 9: line or down near the goal line. But there's there's
• 31:58
  Speaker 9: been multiple times where both teams haven't taken points because
• 32:01
  Speaker 9: they're like, no, seven points is more important than we
• 32:04
  Speaker 9: feel like we're gonna need it. And yet both of
• 32:06
  Speaker 9: these games came down to either a one point or
• 32:09
  Speaker 9: a two point difference. Do you think there's any chance
• 32:11
  Speaker 9: that either of these coaching staffs are going to say,
• 32:13
  Speaker 9: you know what, maybe not take so many chances to
• 32:16
  Speaker 9: try to get that extra four points, but take the
• 32:18
  Speaker 9: three earlier in games.
• 32:22
  Speaker 6: If to me, of the two coaches, I think Mike
• 32:25
  Speaker 6: McDonald would be more apt to be that way, to
• 32:28
  Speaker 6: say I'll take the three points and why because of
• 32:31
  Speaker 6: his defense. I get the sense that when teams play
• 32:35
  Speaker 6: San France. I certainly got the sense that Kyle Shanahan
• 32:37
  Speaker 6: thought this last week. But when teams played the Seahawks defense,
• 32:41
  Speaker 6: they're thinking, I need to get seven here. Three might
• 32:44
  Speaker 6: not be good enough. I need If I have a
• 32:46
  Speaker 6: chance to get seven against this defense, I'm taking it
• 32:49
  Speaker 6: because I don't know how many more times are going
• 32:51
  Speaker 6: to be down here. I get that sense. It's also
• 32:55
  Speaker 6: the way football is. Pro football especially has gone now,
• 32:59
  Speaker 6: and the analytics and the spreadsheets and go for it
• 33:02
  Speaker 6: and all that fourth downs are. It's just the way
• 33:07
  Speaker 6: the NFL is.
• 33:09
  Speaker 10: A lot of.
• 33:09
  Speaker 6: Offensive minds think that the defensive mind thinks differently, calls
• 33:14
  Speaker 6: plays differently, approaches differently if he knows he's got to
• 33:17
  Speaker 6: defend four downs instead of three. McDonald talks about that
• 33:20
  Speaker 6: a lot, that your calculus as a play call on
• 33:23
  Speaker 6: a defense changes, let's say, on third and six, if
• 33:26
  Speaker 6: you know that, oh, if we just get to stop here,
• 33:29
  Speaker 6: they're going to kick. Versus if we to stop here,
• 33:32
  Speaker 6: we got to get to stop again on the next down,
• 33:34
  Speaker 6: because then, as a defensive play caller, you're thinking, well,
• 33:36
  Speaker 6: instead of him trying to get a first down on
• 33:37
  Speaker 6: this play, he might just be trying to get three
• 33:40
  Speaker 6: or four yards to make a fourth down more manageable.
• 33:43
  Speaker 6: So it does change things. And to answer your question,
• 33:47
  Speaker 6: I would think McVeigh as well as Seattle's defense is
• 33:50
  Speaker 6: playing when there, if the Rams are getting close to
• 33:53
  Speaker 6: the goal line, he may be more apt to go
• 33:55
  Speaker 6: for it than McDonald because of how well his defense
• 33:58
  Speaker 6: by the Rams defense is ending the other way. Yeah,
• 34:01
  Speaker 6: we talked about that yesterday on the Say round Table.
• 34:03
  Speaker 6: They sixteen points a game for the first twelve weeks
• 34:05
  Speaker 6: and in the last six weeks they are averaging twenty
• 34:08
  Speaker 6: seven points a game. So yeah, you could see Seattle
• 34:13
  Speaker 6: kicking field goals and the Rams going for touchdowns because
• 34:15
  Speaker 6: of the house Seattle's defense is playing.
• 34:17
  Speaker 4: Our Seahawks insid of Greg Belli is with us. Of course,
• 34:19
  Speaker 4: you can follow him on x at g Bell Seattle
• 34:22
  Speaker 4: and complete Seahawks coverage available twenty four to seven all
• 34:26
  Speaker 4: year long at the News Tribune dot Com, headed up
• 34:28
  Speaker 4: by our Greg Bell, who's with us nearly every day
• 34:32
  Speaker 4: at seven oh five Seahawks Rams Sunday three thirty. We're
• 34:35
  Speaker 4: previewing it with our Seahawks insider. Right now, let's get
• 34:39
  Speaker 4: an update on Sam Donald. I mean, I know we
• 34:42
  Speaker 4: got to get one every day, but Sam Darnald on Friday,
• 34:46
  Speaker 4: January twenty third, how's he looking matter?
• 34:50
  Speaker 6: I saw him throwing yesterday, which he didn't do before
• 34:53
  Speaker 6: the game last week at all in the practices, and
• 34:56
  Speaker 6: McDonald was saying, Wow, I hope he throws. And he
• 34:58
  Speaker 6: might have just been messing with me, but he said,
• 35:00
  Speaker 6: I hope he throws before the game. When I asked
• 35:02
  Speaker 6: him whether he needed to he was throwing. He didn't
• 35:05
  Speaker 6: come out and throw right away where he normally does
• 35:07
  Speaker 6: with Milroe and lock. Before practice he did the stretching
• 35:11
  Speaker 6: and then what he did on Wednesday. But then right
• 35:15
  Speaker 6: when practice was starting, he was stationary with his shoulders
• 35:18
  Speaker 6: and chest facing the guy who was throwing, an assistant
• 35:21
  Speaker 6: about ten yards away, and he remained stationary with his
• 35:24
  Speaker 6: feet planted in the ground and just turned and through
• 35:27
  Speaker 6: without stepping. He did that for a while, and it
• 35:31
  Speaker 6: was at least noticeable that he was throwing it all.
• 35:34
  Speaker 6: So the last Friday he was underhand throwing the ball
• 35:37
  Speaker 6: and bouncing it off the ground like a basketball. So
• 35:40
  Speaker 6: he's definitely improved in that regard, and I think that
• 35:43
  Speaker 6: pretends pretty well. The question may become that I was
• 35:47
  Speaker 6: talking about this last night of the show. It may
• 35:49
  Speaker 6: become does he need an injection, or if he does,
• 35:52
  Speaker 6: maybe it won't be as big of a dose of
• 35:55
  Speaker 6: one that would have affected. I thought he was affected
• 35:57
  Speaker 6: in the very first part of the game, especially when
• 36:00
  Speaker 6: he's tried to throw his first twenty yard pass and
• 36:02
  Speaker 6: went about five yards short of Smith and jig Bay
• 36:05
  Speaker 6: and the defensive back on a seam route. He looks
• 36:09
  Speaker 6: like he's ahead of that, and McDonald said, in fact
• 36:12
  Speaker 6: that he feels better and he's improved. And then after
• 36:15
  Speaker 6: practice I asked Kubiak and he said they play called
• 36:18
  Speaker 6: Clint Kubiac and he said he looks like Sam. He
• 36:21
  Speaker 6: looks healthy to me. So he is getting limited reps still,
• 36:26
  Speaker 6: Blocke is still getting someones, and that's always an issue
• 36:29
  Speaker 6: that the backup quarterbacks getting first team reps two or
• 36:32
  Speaker 6: three days before a title game. But this is a
• 36:35
  Speaker 6: better deal for Donald in the offense than I was
• 36:38
  Speaker 6: going into the San Francisco game helpwise.
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: How about Charles Cross? Is he going to be good
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: to go?
• 36:44
  Speaker 6: McDonald said, they're optimistic he's going to play, though he
• 36:46
  Speaker 6: didn't practice game yesterday. When you read the practice participation report,
• 36:50
  Speaker 6: you go, oh, oh, three left tackles didn't practice two
• 36:53
  Speaker 6: days in a row. What are they going to do there? Well,
• 36:56
  Speaker 6: if they absolutely had, McDonald said, we got a plan,
• 36:58
  Speaker 6: he wouldn't say what it was. I bet if none
• 37:02
  Speaker 6: of the three left tackles, including Cross, can't play, which
• 37:05
  Speaker 6: again sounds like Cross will play. But if Cross doesn't,
• 37:08
  Speaker 6: or if he gets hurt during the game, I bet
• 37:10
  Speaker 6: Grey's Abel would move out and play left tackle. That's
• 37:12
  Speaker 6: how much they think of him. He played some left
• 37:15
  Speaker 6: tackle at North Dakota State. He's just such a stud anyway,
• 37:19
  Speaker 6: they would just see I do go do it, kid,
• 37:22
  Speaker 6: and he would probably he would probably do it. Well,
• 37:24
  Speaker 6: that's what I think of him. But they're saying Charles
• 37:27
  Speaker 6: Cross can start.
• 37:28
  Speaker 4: Charles Cross will start, and then they got I mean
• 37:31
  Speaker 4: all three left tackles are on the injury report right now.
• 37:34
  Speaker 6: Yeah, that's so, I said, your injury report you're like, oh,
• 37:37
  Speaker 6: oh yeah, what the hell?
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: The only one left is like a Richmond? Is that?
• 37:41
  Speaker 9: I mean the only other one that's on your depth
• 37:42
  Speaker 9: chart is attack Richmond.
• 37:44
  Speaker 6: Yeah, Mason Richmond, the rookie late round pick. They aren't going.
• 37:50
  Speaker 6: Sky isn't fallen, And I don't get the sense there
• 37:52
  Speaker 6: that they're scrambling to do a contingency plan. They're counting
• 37:55
  Speaker 6: on Charles Cross to play.
• 37:57
  Speaker 4: Greg bellis what us are Seahawks insider as we're getting
• 38:00
  Speaker 4: a set for a Sunday all right, So what's this
• 38:02
  Speaker 4: going to come down to on Sunday? What are the
• 38:05
  Speaker 4: magical Greg Bell keys to this game?
• 38:09
  Speaker 6: Well, sometime we talked about a little bit yesterday at
• 38:11
  Speaker 6: the roundtable. That is everging to me is something that
• 38:15
  Speaker 6: they're really focused on. The Seahork defense really is working
• 38:17
  Speaker 6: on this week. Are Matthew Stafford's no look passes. When
• 38:20
  Speaker 6: we talked about it with Hugh yesterday, it got me thinking,
• 38:23
  Speaker 6: I must have asked some defensive guys about this and
• 38:27
  Speaker 6: they wouldn't specify to me, but they I have a feeling,
• 38:32
  Speaker 6: and I've been told this kind of without in much detail,
• 38:36
  Speaker 6: that they've got new stuff for Stafford and McVeigh to
• 38:39
  Speaker 6: combat that different ways, different drops and maybe dropping into
• 38:45
  Speaker 6: coverage in different places in different ways than Stafford and
• 38:48
  Speaker 6: McVeigh used to see and including and defending no look
• 38:52
  Speaker 6: pass The Stafford had two touchdown passes on no look passes.
• 38:57
  Speaker 6: The one in overtime Tooknakuah that fooled Eric Jones of
• 39:03
  Speaker 6: all people who would used to be a teammate of
• 39:05
  Speaker 6: Matthew Stafford. The Rams, of course won a Super Bowl
• 39:07
  Speaker 6: with him. And then there was a fifty one was
• 39:10
  Speaker 6: a fifty four yard pass. And then there was a
• 39:12
  Speaker 6: one yard touchdown early in the fourth quarter on a
• 39:16
  Speaker 6: slant route that he went to mccoah that he did
• 39:18
  Speaker 6: the same thing and Rieke wollen Broke laid on the
• 39:21
  Speaker 6: ball because he didn't think he was throwing it there
• 39:24
  Speaker 6: because his eyes were over at the sideline. He does
• 39:27
  Speaker 6: it longer better than anybody like Patrick Mahomes gets a
• 39:30
  Speaker 6: ton of attention for it, but Stafford's been doing it
• 39:33
  Speaker 6: since he was in Detroit. Cooper Cup, who also knows
• 39:36
  Speaker 6: him better than anybody because he was his quarterback in
• 39:39
  Speaker 6: LA for so many years, said he's just blown away
• 39:42
  Speaker 6: by Stafford's ability to do that. So Seattle combating that
• 39:47
  Speaker 6: is a key. The turnover thing I told you was
• 39:50
  Speaker 6: Sam Darnold. He just can't give him the short field
• 39:53
  Speaker 6: in the Rams, giving away Rams points. I said this
• 39:57
  Speaker 6: last night. I've written it. The Seahawks had the defense
• 40:01
  Speaker 6: not only to win this game, to win the Super Bowl.
• 40:04
  Speaker 6: I've been saying that for a month or two now.
• 40:05
  Speaker 6: And the way the defense is playing, if their quarterback
• 40:08
  Speaker 6: doesn't turn the ball up, if Darnold doesn't turn the
• 40:10
  Speaker 6: ball over, they're gonna win the game. They're gonna win
• 40:12
  Speaker 6: the Super Bowl. To me, that's the overarching key to
• 40:15
  Speaker 6: the whole thing. Their defense just right now, the way
• 40:18
  Speaker 6: they're playing and how they're confident they are. Doesn't believe
• 40:21
  Speaker 6: anybody in the world can drive eighty yards routinely over
• 40:25
  Speaker 6: a game and score multiple touchdowns. And they have. Seahawks
• 40:28
  Speaker 6: have a offense that's good enough to score multiple touchdowns.
• 40:32
  Speaker 6: So do the math. Don't give them a short field,
• 40:35
  Speaker 6: and then Seahawks are gonna win.
• 40:36
  Speaker 4: By the way Stafford's now doing it, he's like gotten
• 40:39
  Speaker 4: cocky with it. He and I'm not even making this up.
• 40:42
  Speaker 4: Watching that last game they played against the Bears, he
• 40:44
  Speaker 4: threw a no look pass to the official in between.
• 40:48
  Speaker 6: Plays, said he was egregious about it. Now not only
• 40:56
  Speaker 6: was he brass, he's egregious, but yes, he agrees with you.
• 41:00
  Speaker 6: This year it's more prevalent than ever. I was talking
• 41:02
  Speaker 6: to Gary Kaye at Los Angeles Times last night on
• 41:04
  Speaker 6: that show we had, and he said that all year
• 41:08
  Speaker 6: the Rams have been almost desperate to win a Super Bowl,
• 41:12
  Speaker 6: that their window is closing, and they know that at
• 41:15
  Speaker 6: thirty seven, Stafford's not going to play forever. But he
• 41:17
  Speaker 6: felt that urgency all season and now it's of course
• 41:20
  Speaker 6: at a peak with the NFC title in the super
• 41:22
  Speaker 6: Bowl on the line. But this they may think it's
• 41:25
  Speaker 6: last gas time for their Super Bowl window with Stafford,
• 41:29
  Speaker 6: which may go back to Bucky's point about the Rams
• 41:31
  Speaker 6: going forward on fourth down loud just.
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: To close out.
• 41:35
  Speaker 4: I mean, the first time in a while you've hosted
• 41:38
  Speaker 4: an NFC Conference championship game.
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: It doesn't get any bigger than this.
• 41:41
  Speaker 4: You never get to host a Super Bowl, So I mean,
• 41:45
  Speaker 4: just what kind of atmosphere can you even put into
• 41:49
  Speaker 4: words that you're expecting to cover on Sunday.
• 41:53
  Speaker 6: Well, I've covered three of these in Seattle, all three
• 41:56
  Speaker 6: of the NFC title games. All three of the title
• 41:58
  Speaker 6: games in the history of the city that have been here,
• 42:00
  Speaker 6: and all three of them have just been carnivals of noise.
• 42:04
  Speaker 6: I mean just absolute freak shows of noise and partying
• 42:09
  Speaker 6: and it's just a wild scene. It's like Marty Garraw
• 42:14
  Speaker 6: inside a stadium. And last week was as loud as
• 42:20
  Speaker 6: I said, as loud as it was since the twenty
• 42:22
  Speaker 6: fourteen season, the end of the Legion of Booms second
• 42:25
  Speaker 6: Super Bowl year. I'd never heard it louder in the
• 42:27
  Speaker 6: stadium last weekend than it was last weekend since twenty fourteen.
• 42:32
  Speaker 6: The January twenty fifteen NFC Title game against the they
• 42:38
  Speaker 6: beat the Packers in overtime with that crazy throw from
• 42:41
  Speaker 6: Wilson to when Wilson hit curse overtime to win it.
• 42:45
  Speaker 6: That was as loud as I heard Saturday night when
• 42:49
  Speaker 6: rashi Heed returned an opening kickoff, And I would think
• 42:52
  Speaker 6: it's going to even be louder if you can believe that.
• 42:55
  Speaker 6: On Sunday, the players like Cooper Cup, guys who have
• 42:58
  Speaker 6: not played until last week in a playoff game in Seattle,
• 43:01
  Speaker 6: We're blown away by that. They said it was louder
• 43:04
  Speaker 6: than they thought it was. Going to be it, especially
• 43:07
  Speaker 6: if the Seahawks get off to a start like they
• 43:09
  Speaker 6: did against the forty nine ers, places will be off
• 43:11
  Speaker 6: to It's unique. I mean, I've covered a lot of
• 43:14
  Speaker 6: cool events in my life, and the only thing that
• 43:17
  Speaker 6: has approached it for me in terms of just fervor
• 43:20
  Speaker 6: and intensity and noise was the gold medal hockey match
• 43:25
  Speaker 6: at the Olympics in Vancouver in twenty ten, Canada versus
• 43:28
  Speaker 6: the US, and I was sitting right on the ice
• 43:30
  Speaker 6: and press row. And that's the only thing that comes
• 43:32
  Speaker 6: close to the absolute pandemonium that it's going to be
• 43:36
  Speaker 6: like on Sunday.
• 43:36
  Speaker 4: All Right, should be fun. I can't wait. We'll talk
• 43:39
  Speaker 4: to you on Monday. Enjoy it all. Hope your hand's
• 43:42
  Speaker 4: feeling better and yeah, and we'll talk to you soon.
• 43:47

• 44:56
  Speaker 4: the final for Football Friday sponsored by Tito's hand Made Vodka.
• 45:01
  Speaker 4: In a moment, so we have your eight top stories
• 45:03
  Speaker 4: of the day for you. But let me start the
• 45:05
  Speaker 4: hour by telling you that money is our keyword in
• 45:08
  Speaker 4: one thousand dollars powerplay enter it at ninety three to
• 45:11
  Speaker 4: three KJR dot com for your shot at a thousand
• 45:14
  Speaker 4: dollars in cash. And now we go to the eight
• 45:18
  Speaker 4: top stories of the day to get you ready for
• 45:20
  Speaker 4: the weekend.
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: There's no doubt what the top story of the day is.
• 45:23
  Speaker 9: It's Conference champion Jeff wakeand taste of Ram on his beat.
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: That's right, that's right.
• 45:30
  Speaker 5: Oh no, sounds media and delicious garry.
• 45:33
  Speaker 9: If you were a Ram and a bunch of Seahawks
• 45:35
  Speaker 9: just started attacking you, pecking your ass and then your face,
• 45:41
  Speaker 9: they're making sounds, summoning more Seahawks to come eat you.
• 45:45
  Speaker 5: And they're like a man.
• 45:47
  Speaker 1: Next thing, you know, You're like, I'm an old Ram.
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: You can't handle this. I can peck to death. Kelly,
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna go ahead and retire.
• 45:55
  Speaker 5: Yeah right now in the second quarter.
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: Orn't do that anymore.
• 45:58
  Speaker 4: The Seahawks will host the Rams Sunday at three thirty.
• 46:02
  Speaker 4: What are going to be the keys to the game.
• 46:04
  Speaker 4: We've already given hours earlier in the show. Greg bellgate
• 46:08
  Speaker 4: his at seven five, But here you go. Here's Greg's
• 46:10
  Speaker 4: just to remind you.
• 46:12
  Speaker 6: The turnover thing I told you is Sam Donald. He
• 46:14
  Speaker 6: just can't give him a short field and the Rams
• 46:17
  Speaker 6: giving away Rams points. The Seahawks have a defense not
• 46:20
  Speaker 6: only to win this game, to win the Super Bowl.
• 46:23
  Speaker 6: And I've been saying that for a month or two now.
• 46:25
  Speaker 6: And the way the defense is playing, if their quarterback
• 46:28
  Speaker 6: doesn't turn the ball, if Donald doesn't turn the ball over,
• 46:30
  Speaker 6: they're gonna win the game. They're gonna win the Super Bowl.
• 46:33
  Speaker 6: To me, that's the over arching key to the whole thing.
• 46:35
  Speaker 6: Their defense just right now, the way they're playing and
• 46:38
  Speaker 6: how they're confident they are. Doesn't believe anybody in the
• 46:41
  Speaker 6: world can drive eighty yards routinely over a game and
• 46:45
  Speaker 6: score multiple touchdowns, and they have. Seahawks have a touch
• 46:48
  Speaker 6: offense that's good enough to score multiple touchdowns. So do
• 46:51
  Speaker 6: the math, don't give them a short field, and then
• 46:54
  Speaker 6: see howks are gonna win.
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: The teams have met twice during the regular season.
• 46:58
  Speaker 4: They split it a game piece, the combined scores separated
• 47:03
  Speaker 4: by a single point, the combined yardage game separated by
• 47:07
  Speaker 4: a single yard.
• 47:08
  Speaker 1: It's crazy, and when it ends, a single team.
• 47:11
  Speaker 4: Will advance the Super Bowl sixty. The Seahawks go into
• 47:14
  Speaker 4: this game a slight two and a half point favorite.
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: That numbers actually come down a little bit.
• 47:19
  Speaker 4: From earlier in the week. Everybody is expecting a close game.
• 47:24
  Speaker 4: I would not certainly be surprised.
• 47:25
  Speaker 1: That that was the case. But I'm not predicting one.
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: I'm riding this.
• 47:30
  Speaker 4: I think the Seahawks are gonna win this thing by
• 47:32
  Speaker 4: a touchdown or more.
• 47:33
  Speaker 1: I really do feel really good about it.
• 47:36
  Speaker 9: I mean, it's I end up looking back through the
• 47:38
  Speaker 9: play by play of the two games that these teams
• 47:41
  Speaker 9: have played, and there's so many different ebbs and flows
• 47:45
  Speaker 9: of going forward and forth and getting stopped or getting
• 47:48
  Speaker 9: it and then it getting a touchdown and called back,
• 47:50
  Speaker 9: and then they kick a field goal and then missfield goal.
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: It is.
• 47:54
  Speaker 9: I have no idea how this thing's gonna shake out.
• 47:56
  Speaker 9: Obviously you can't. You can't predict the whole thing. That's
• 47:59
  Speaker 9: the beauty of it. But I just have a hard
• 48:01
  Speaker 9: time thinking that it's not going to be regardless how
• 48:04
  Speaker 9: the first three and a half quarters play out, I
• 48:07
  Speaker 9: just feel like the final five minutes, hold on your
• 48:10
  Speaker 9: butts because it's gonna get nuts.
• 48:12
  Speaker 6: See.
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: I have a hard time just bait that run into
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: your butts. It's gonna get nuts that Ryan.
• 48:16
  Speaker 4: I have hard time seeing it's I mean, I don't
• 48:19
  Speaker 4: have a hard time seeing it staying close, but in
• 48:21
  Speaker 4: just in terms of I have a hard time predicting
• 48:25
  Speaker 4: that it.
• 48:25
  Speaker 1: Will stay, it will go down to the wire.
• 48:28
  Speaker 4: I just think the Seahawks, I mean, this is about
• 48:31
  Speaker 4: an arc of a season, right and then where we
• 48:34
  Speaker 4: are right now. I feel like the Rams are playing
• 48:36
  Speaker 4: their worst football as of late here going into this game,
• 48:40
  Speaker 4: and the Seahawks are playing their best. The Rams defense
• 48:44
  Speaker 4: has been leaky in the last quarter part of the season.
• 48:48
  Speaker 4: Matt Stafford's not played like an MVP the last three
• 48:52
  Speaker 4: or four games that he's played. Meanwhile, the Seahawks defense
• 48:55
  Speaker 4: actually just keeps getting better and better and better and better.
• 48:58
  Speaker 4: So yes, of course I can envision a scenario where
• 49:01
  Speaker 4: the Rams win the game, But in terms of trying
• 49:05
  Speaker 4: to envision a prediction that I would make, looking at
• 49:08
  Speaker 4: these two teams, the way they're playing right now, how
• 49:11
  Speaker 4: healthy the rosters are, so on and so forth, I
• 49:14
  Speaker 4: just can't see it being as close as what everybody
• 49:17
  Speaker 4: else seems to think.
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: It's going to be.
• 49:19
  Speaker 5: And I agree.
• 49:19
  Speaker 8: I think it's interesting because what was it, like five
• 49:22
  Speaker 8: or six weeks ago, No, maybe not that long ago,
• 49:24
  Speaker 8: a month ago, we were talking about are the defense
• 49:26
  Speaker 8: or is the Seahawks?
• 49:27
  Speaker 5: Are the Seahawks peaking right now?
• 49:29
  Speaker 8: Like is this their time, and there was a lot
• 49:31
  Speaker 8: of conversation yes and no, and yeah, the defense is improving,
• 49:34
  Speaker 8: but well, I mean, I would say yes, at this
• 49:37
  Speaker 8: point they are peaking, and that's the ideal situation you
• 49:40
  Speaker 8: want heading into your biggest game of the year thus far,
• 49:43
  Speaker 8: save for one more, hopefully, I mean, I would say
• 49:48
  Speaker 8: that defense seems unstoppable.
• 49:50
  Speaker 1: Twenty six thirteen, Okay, I like that.
• 49:54
  Speaker 4: A lot of field goals, oh from us, a lot
• 49:57
  Speaker 4: of two point tries from them, Okay, ma'am, something like.
• 50:00
  Speaker 1: That, twenty six sixty, and that's the pick.
• 50:03
  Speaker 4: Donald's obleak, of course, has been a big topic for
• 50:06
  Speaker 4: the last couple of weeks. We got a good report
• 50:09
  Speaker 4: from Greg Bell that said on Friday or see me Thursday,
• 50:12
  Speaker 4: he looked and felt better than he has for the
• 50:15
  Speaker 4: last couple of weeks, or at least since the injury.
• 50:18
  Speaker 4: But of course, you never know what's gonna happen in
• 50:21
  Speaker 4: the activity of a violent sport during the course of
• 50:24
  Speaker 4: four quarters. Coming up on Sunday. Matt Hasselbeck joins us
• 50:28
  Speaker 4: every Wednesday throughout the playoffs. He's played with this injury
• 50:32
  Speaker 4: in the past, and he talked about playing with this
• 50:35
  Speaker 4: specific injury.
• 50:36
  Speaker 12: Yeah, that's the thing about this kind of an injury.
• 50:38
  Speaker 12: It's really not a pain tolerance thing. It's just more
• 50:41
  Speaker 12: about does the muscle work, you know, and that's that's
• 50:44
  Speaker 12: you know. I've played with some injuries that you know
• 50:47
  Speaker 12: that were like really really painful and you know, broken
• 50:50
  Speaker 12: bones and stuff like that also, but this one is
• 50:52
  Speaker 12: just like it's just like, no, I'm fine, I'm totally good,
• 50:55
  Speaker 12: except for one thing, and that's kind of throwing a fastball.
• 50:58
  Speaker 1: And one thing I.
• 51:00
  Speaker 12: Do know I can speak to this is that the
• 51:04
  Speaker 12: athletic training sort of team that's in Seattle with the
• 51:08
  Speaker 12: Seahawks is as good as it comes.
• 51:10
  Speaker 5: And even on the orthopedic side, you.
• 51:14
  Speaker 12: Share you know, Ed Calphane, doctor Ed Calphane, you share
• 51:18
  Speaker 12: a head orthopedic with the Mariners.
• 51:21
  Speaker 1: So there were a lot of times with.
• 51:22
  Speaker 12: In my you know, injury, where I had someone who
• 51:27
  Speaker 12: was really experienced in dealing with throwers, and that's not
• 51:31
  Speaker 12: always the case on every NFL team, And so I
• 51:33
  Speaker 12: do think that's an advantage that the Seahawks have and
• 51:36
  Speaker 12: that Sam Darnold in this case.
• 51:38
  Speaker 4: Has I have no idea how good he feels or
• 51:41
  Speaker 4: how good he'll look. I'll just say I would imagine
• 51:44
  Speaker 4: the injury feels better today than what it did the
• 51:48
  Speaker 4: last game. And I didn't see anything from him during
• 51:52
  Speaker 4: the game. Maybe he was shot up with goofers, I
• 51:54
  Speaker 4: have no idea. Maybe he couldn't feel a thing, I
• 51:56
  Speaker 4: have no idea. But I didn't see anything about his
• 51:59
  Speaker 4: game last week that suggested that he was struggling with it.
• 52:03
  Speaker 9: No, I didn't either, And ultimately, it's as long as
• 52:06
  Speaker 9: you can throw, it doesn't seem like that is a
• 52:09
  Speaker 9: injury that you're going to hurt based on the contact, right.
• 52:13
  Speaker 9: I mean, if like he gets sacked and gets landed on,
• 52:16
  Speaker 9: it's it's more of an oblique injuryes usually from the
• 52:19
  Speaker 9: twisting your body, torquing and going around your spine. So
• 52:23
  Speaker 9: to me, it's as long as he's not trying to
• 52:25
  Speaker 9: twist and somebody's holding him from doing it, I think
• 52:27
  Speaker 9: that he's going to be fine. If it is a
• 52:29
  Speaker 9: little sore throughout the week. Yeah, they will shoot him
• 52:32
  Speaker 9: up with a little something just to where it's masks
• 52:35
  Speaker 9: the pain enough that he can go out there and
• 52:36
  Speaker 9: just feels like you can let it rip without feeling
• 52:39
  Speaker 9: like it's going to hinder him.
• 52:40
  Speaker 1: At any point. I don't have hardly any worry about
• 52:42
  Speaker 1: that part of his game.
• 52:43
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I definitely have less worry this week than last
• 52:45
  Speaker 8: week because and I do think we would have noticed
• 52:47
  Speaker 8: if it had seemed that he was in pain, because
• 52:49
  Speaker 8: I think everyone was watching every single move he made,
• 52:52
  Speaker 8: at least for that first quarter of.
• 52:54
  Speaker 5: Like is he okay?
• 52:55
  Speaker 1: Man okay?
• 52:56
  Speaker 5: So I have less worry this week for sure.
• 52:59
  Speaker 1: Zach Sharpay is out.
• 53:01
  Speaker 4: We know that, which suggests a full load for ken
• 53:03
  Speaker 4: Walker at running Back. If you get time, maybe go
• 53:05
  Speaker 4: listen to the Roundtable yesterday. Hugh Millan does this great
• 53:09
  Speaker 4: breakdown of like all things are pointing toward a big
• 53:12
  Speaker 4: ken Walker game here in this contest, and I wouldn't
• 53:16
  Speaker 4: be surprised by that. I mean, they have been leaky defensively,
• 53:21
  Speaker 4: particularly against the run here down the stretch. Walker's coming
• 53:24
  Speaker 4: off his best game. You don't have to figure out
• 53:27
  Speaker 4: like riding the hot hand or having to tap out.
• 53:31
  Speaker 4: Ken Walker doesn't have to worry about nursing and injury
• 53:34
  Speaker 4: going into this game. He has. He's gonna get I think,
• 53:38
  Speaker 4: as many carries as he wants to get in this contest.
• 53:42
  Speaker 4: And Hugh Millan is predicting a really big breakout.
• 53:45
  Speaker 9: Game for him here in this game, well, he's running
• 53:48
  Speaker 9: as well as he has I mean most certainly as
• 53:50
  Speaker 9: well as he ever has has this season, and now
• 53:53
  Speaker 9: it's going to be all right, get the ball and
• 53:55
  Speaker 9: he's got things to run for. He's got big contracts
• 53:58
  Speaker 9: that he's kind of chased down out there. He knows
• 54:01
  Speaker 9: this is an opportunity. He's going to be running hard.
• 54:03
  Speaker 9: If they create some lanes and he sees those lanes,
• 54:06
  Speaker 9: I think he could have a big, big day.
• 54:08
  Speaker 4: Left tackle seems to be a concerning thing. If you
• 54:10
  Speaker 4: read over the injury report, all three of our left
• 54:13
  Speaker 4: tackles are on there.
• 54:14
  Speaker 1: So yeah, but we.
• 54:16
  Speaker 4: Got a good report from Greg at seven o'clock saying,
• 54:19
  Speaker 4: don't worry, Charles Cross should play in this contest and
• 54:23
  Speaker 4: it won't come to Gray's Abel having to move over
• 54:27
  Speaker 4: because all three of your left tackles are injured and out.
• 54:31
  Speaker 4: On the Rams side, their big injury is their best
• 54:33
  Speaker 4: pass rusher, Byron Young. He had twelve sacks during the season.
• 54:36
  Speaker 4: He did not participate in practice yesterday. He is expected
• 54:40
  Speaker 4: to play in this game, but I think it's pretty
• 54:42
  Speaker 4: clear he's not going to be at one hundred percent.
• 54:44
  Speaker 4: I think it's also pretty clear Sean McVay doesn't exactly
• 54:47
  Speaker 4: know how often how much he's going to be able
• 54:49
  Speaker 4: to use him. Kind of feels like it's not just
• 54:51
  Speaker 4: a game day decision, It's going to be a play
• 54:54
  Speaker 4: by play decision as to whether or not Byron Young's
• 54:58
  Speaker 4: being effective being affected by his injury.
• 55:02
  Speaker 1: So a lot going into it.
• 55:04
  Speaker 4: Kickoff is at three thirty, and I do believe Seattle
• 55:09
  Speaker 4: feels ready.
• 55:10
  Speaker 1: For this one.
• 55:11
  Speaker 5: I think so.
• 55:12
  Speaker 1: I think so. I think we're ready to go.

• 56:37
  Speaker 4: Drake May, the Broncos quarterback is not, which uh you
• 56:41
  Speaker 4: know what that means, mad Dog Chris Russo.
• 56:43
  Speaker 1: Do you have confidence in Peyton getting the most out.
• 56:46
  Speaker 4: Of the uh uh out of the quarterback in this
• 56:49
  Speaker 4: ball game?
• 56:50
  Speaker 6: Here?
• 56:50
  Speaker 1: Stick them?
• 56:51
  Speaker 4: Stick them in this game on Sunday afternoon against the Patriots.
• 56:54
  Speaker 1: What's your take with that game?
• 56:56
  Speaker 4: I think, uh, Jared stick I'm gonna be all right. Uh.
• 57:02
  Speaker 9: You know, when I first started doing this job, I
• 57:04
  Speaker 9: remember trying to watch I started watching, you know, talking
• 57:08
  Speaker 9: heads and stuff, and like, okay, let me see how
• 57:10
  Speaker 9: people do this. I remember watching him thinking I never
• 57:13
  Speaker 9: want to do it like that guy.
• 57:16
  Speaker 4: He's a legend of the business. It doesn't matter that
• 57:19
  Speaker 4: he doesn't know anything.
• 57:20
  Speaker 9: Yeah, no, he sounds like an idiot, and yeah, how
• 57:25
  Speaker 9: do you give an opinion about something?
• 57:27
  Speaker 1: And then you really don't even have any idea what
• 57:29
  Speaker 1: we're talking about?
• 57:30
  Speaker 4: Heard of them, Jared fu Yeah, Stick's.
• 57:34
  Speaker 1: Gonna get him dialed in. I believe in Stickham.
• 57:38
  Speaker 5: Have you never heard of Jared'stidham. That's what I don't understand.
• 57:40
  Speaker 8: If you follow the NFL, you should have heard of
• 57:42
  Speaker 8: him at least once.
• 57:44
  Speaker 4: And I love that he kind of because he kind
• 57:45
  Speaker 4: of he said it once, like, yeah, that's it.
• 57:47
  Speaker 1: Stick I had it right the whole time. Name with
• 57:52
  Speaker 1: the best of them. He doesn't even care to know.
• 57:57
  Speaker 4: The Broncos are forced to start backup quarterback Stickham. The
• 58:03
  Speaker 4: Patriots enter the game at four and a half point favorites.
• 58:06
  Speaker 4: Because of it, I mean, that line swung by eight
• 58:10
  Speaker 4: points I mean, are you eight points worried about Jared
• 58:14
  Speaker 4: Stickham on Sunday?
• 58:17
  Speaker 6: Not really?
• 58:17
  Speaker 9: I mean, I mean, I mean bo Nicks has got something.
• 58:21
  Speaker 9: He's got a little like that just kind of figure
• 58:23
  Speaker 9: out a way to win to him, and he has
• 58:26
  Speaker 9: the team believing that. I mean, this team has been
• 58:28
  Speaker 9: through a lot of kind of ups and downs and
• 58:30
  Speaker 9: just found a way to win at the end of games.
• 58:33
  Speaker 1: I don't know if Jared Stickham has that.
• 58:36
  Speaker 5: Same He's got that toness, but.
• 58:38
  Speaker 9: Jared Stidham, I think does possibly have a little bit
• 58:42
  Speaker 9: of that in we just haven't seen it yet. I mean,
• 58:44
  Speaker 9: I think that you give Sean Payton a full week
• 58:48
  Speaker 9: to figure out, Okay, what can he do, what does
• 58:50
  Speaker 9: he do best, and then formulate a game plan. It's
• 58:53
  Speaker 9: not gonna be an easy victory. They haven't had any
• 58:55
  Speaker 9: easy victories basically this entire season. They've had a couple
• 58:58
  Speaker 9: maybe against the Raiders and whatnot, but for the most part,
• 59:01
  Speaker 9: it's going to be a dog fight. I think that
• 59:03
  Speaker 9: the Patriots are legit. I think they're legit even if
• 59:07
  Speaker 9: they're not world beaters, and so I don't know. I mean,
• 59:10
  Speaker 9: I I'm cheering for him. I hope that they can
• 59:13
  Speaker 9: find a way to get it done. I don't think
• 59:15
  Speaker 9: that it's eight points difference.
• 59:17
  Speaker 4: I don't either make it a defensive struggle, which was
• 59:20
  Speaker 4: going to be either way that matter bo Nicks was
• 59:23
  Speaker 4: available or not. It's gonna be a defensive game. Uh
• 59:26
  Speaker 4: and uh, you know what you do is you just
• 59:29
  Speaker 4: take Jarrett, stick them, come up with a.
• 59:31
  Speaker 1: Game plan and just stid with him. Stick. Okay, Yeah,
• 59:37
  Speaker 1: with the game plan. Yeah, did with the game plan
• 59:40
  Speaker 1: and stick them? Can lead you there?
• 59:42
  Speaker 9: Yes, yeah, did them stick them? Whatever his name is,
• 59:46
  Speaker 9: just yeah, just don't blow it for us. But yeah,
• 59:48
  Speaker 9: I'm with your defense needs to go out there and
• 59:49
  Speaker 9: ball out.
• 59:50
  Speaker 1: Kick off at noon on Sunday.

  Speaker 4: conference play.
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 5: Yeah, suck at ducks.
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 9: Yeah yeah, battle of a couple of real great starts

  Speaker 1: Yeah, I have more important things to worry about right now.
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 5: Well that's true, but it might.
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 1: It's a nice side.
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it gets you through your Saturday a little bit.
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 4: Right, right right, you know, just to slay some ducks
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 4: and stuff. Big dumper love was achieved last night. Major
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 4: League Baseball has been counting down its top one hundred
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 4: players in Major League Baseball right now. They got all
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 4: the way to the top ten. That was last night's show.
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 4: Cal Raleigh came off the board at number four.
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 1: Lasted field day.
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 2: Disappears.
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 11: He has homered on back to back.
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 1: It just seemed tonight.
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 11: It may never stop the year of cow Rally. He
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 11: has now tied Ken Griffy Junior for the most home
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 11: runs by a Mariner in a season. I cann't shot
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 11: to centerfield. This guy is unbelievable.
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 4: I would also like to report that Aaron Goldsmith and
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 4: Veronica Corningstone are in love.
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 10: Ye.
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 5: Still, that's such good news.
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 1: Such cuts so much. Sounds like him top one hundred
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 1: players in MLB right now.
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 4: I mean, it's just a group of people in MLB
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 4: network that compile this list. There's nothing too scientific about it.
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 4: I don't even think they use the shredder anymore, which
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 4: at one point they.
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 1: Did just raw statistical data.
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 4: I think it's just I don't know how many people,
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 4: but they put together this list.
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 1: They counted down every year. Cal was fifty ninth.
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 4: I think I heard last night from Adam Jude fifty
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 4: ninth on this list a year ago, and after that
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 4: season he's moved all the way up to number four
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 4: Bucky behind only show a Aaron Judge and Kansas City
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 4: shortstop Bobby Witch.
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's great to see him right there.
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 9: Obviously he's getting he's burst on the scene, so to speak.
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 9: And we kind of knew how good he was behind
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 9: the dish and that he could hit and go yard,
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 9: but to hit sixty homers do something nobody's ever done.
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 9: He's worthy of a giant jump up that. I had
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 9: another moment last night that I wanted to punch somebody
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 9: in the face on Twitter that basically said somebody baseball
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 9: history nut or cal Rawley's the most overrated player of
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 9: all time, even more than Derek Jeter. So this guy
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 9: was he hates Yeah, I said, your stupidity deserves an
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 9: unfollow immediately, peace out. And and he actually had some
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 9: good stuff. It was a baseball historian type of an account.
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 9: There was actually good stuff. But I will not listen
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 9: to that kind of blasphemy. You want a Dodo on
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 9: the dumper, Yeah, you were out of my life. Let
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 9: the dumper do do? Don't do dooo on the dump? Yeah,
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 9: you should get do.
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 5: Doo do Yeah, Yeah, don't do that. Do doo that
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 5: you do.
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 4: Yeah, we knew cal was going to finish high on
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 4: the list, But how about Julio ranking number sixteen on
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 4: this list? Not bad to have two of the top
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 4: sixteen players in baseball on your team right now and
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 4: locked up for a number of years going forward, right
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 4: here in Seattle.
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 1: I'll take it. Yeah, I'll take it.
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 9: I am at this point, I think we have both
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 9: of them locked up for a lot longer at it
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 9: like a fraction of the cost of just one Kyle Tucker.
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 9: So yeah, you know, you can even throw Josh Naylor
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 9: in the mix as well, and still less expensive. So yeah, great,
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 9: great contracts and obviously even better players.
• 1:05:48

• 1:07:19
  Speaker 4: Honestly, I would hope are you still you and Cliff
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 4: still chasing Johnny Hecker around the town?
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 14: No, he quit on us. He's too scary.
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 4: I thought it was just still happening. You were just
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 4: still just going to his house.
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 9: No, I should have, bro, I should have honestly, not
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 9: bad idea.
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 4: Well, let's talk about uh, let's talk about you first
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 4: and your experience with this organization, the Rams. Where did
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 4: they rank on your man? I can't stand this team's.
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 15: List, Dave, were our number three on my list? Okay,
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 15: Number one was the Carolina Panthers. Number two was forty
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 15: nine Ers, and then three with the Rams.
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 1: Hm, why why was the Panthers number one?
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 6: Well?
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 14: Because the Panthers is always a team that was like
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 14: built kind of similar to how the seahawkss built, like
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 14: a very good defense stout against the office. Line was
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 14: really really good. Running backs were great, you know, Cam
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 14: Newton was the quarterback, you know, so and then defense
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 14: they just had everybody Tumas Davis, Charles, Charles Johnson, just
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 14: Shaq Thompson, Louke Keigley, like you know, Josh Norman, and
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 14: then the forty nine ers they just the same. It
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 14: was like justin Smith, Alden Smith, you know, LaVar Bowman,
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 14: Patrick Willis, offensive line, Joe Stavey, Nike and party like
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 14: you know, and then you go down to like the
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 14: Rams and they were they were really good on defense too,
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 14: you know, so Todd Gurley, you know, Aaron Donald, Chris
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 14: Long over all the years that they had and then
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 14: like but they never really had that quarterback until they
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 14: got Jared Golfing, and so yeah, they were like the
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 14: third team that you know, always had, you know, a
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 14: competition in conference. But at the same time we're planning
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 14: out the Cardinals were really good with Carson Palmer and
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 14: Gaffer Zero and David Johnson and all of those guys,
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 14: and the defense are stacked on that team, calls Dansby
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 14: and everybody, and Mark uh Comarti and everybody.
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 1: Michael Bennett is with us right here on Chucking Buck
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 1: in the mornings.
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 4: What is this team particular done for your defense, you guys.
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 4: I mean, I'm saying Richard Sherman celebrate on the sidelines
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 4: like he's the you know, craziest twelve out there.
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 1: I got Cliff.
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 4: Averrill bouncing around town, h you know, doing interviews, so
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 4: you know, talking about this team, Cam Chancellor doing the
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 4: pregame hype moment. What has it done to your group,
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 4: this team, for the Seahawks to be back here on
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 4: top of the NFL world and be doing it Led
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 4: by their defense.
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 14: You know, we've nothing that we expect the defense to
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 14: be great. I think Seattle has a history of a
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 14: great defenders. So all of us weird fans of these
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 14: younger players. You know, we love with Watherspoon and the
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 14: market is uh, you know, it just earnest earnest, like
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 14: you know, these guys are Kobe. These are great players
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 14: that we all admire. They all share the intensity that
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 14: we share.
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 6: You know, Leonnard wins.
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 14: Is my favorite defensivelignment in the NFL because of his versatility.
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 14: And you know, so we're big fans of the defense,
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 14: and I think what it does in the city is
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 14: reinvigorating the love for the game. Like offense is good,
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 14: but watching a game that comes to a defense is
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 14: suffocated in the office and watching them die slowly on
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 14: TV is such a great thing. And I think it's
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 14: it's what we enjoy about the game. So I think
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 14: we just love watching the defense play.
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 6: The way that they do. We all were like yo,
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 6: we could have.
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 14: Played for Mike and the rest of the team, and
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 14: I think this team winners. Defense is built like the family.
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 14: And when we built that intensity, the camaraderie and the
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 14: love for defense of the team. I think it's like
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 14: they don't have that, you know, Miles Garrett, you know
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 14: the twenty three sacks or like you know, aight and
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 14: huncheson ball. Those guys are sitting home. What they have
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 14: is great team combination of players who understand their football
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 14: and love playing together and will do anything to win,
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 14: really sacrificing their stats, sacrificing their opportunities to make sure
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 14: that the players ran properly to do the most important
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 14: thing is to host a Lombardi.
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 9: Mike the I mean, obviously you have massive respect for
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 9: Pete Carroll and how he kind of designed your guys's
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 9: defense to be the most dominant there for that little
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 9: stretch of time. And so I'm wondering, though, from your perspective,
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 9: what do you see that's different or extra on top
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 9: of what you did and what you guys did here
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 9: that you're seeing that's different the way that Mike McDonald
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 9: kind of has this defense going.
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 14: First of all, I don't think it was a short
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 14: period of time. It was a little five years, six
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 14: seven years. It's not a short period of time to
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 14: have really good defense. But I think what it is
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 14: is that Mike is really I think what coaching is about,
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 14: or building organization or building companies, is about finding a
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 14: philosophy and finding people in the parts that fit into
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 14: your philosophy, you know, like the type of body types,
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 14: the type of mindset, the type of love for and
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 14: passion for the game. You find those people, put those
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 14: people into position. And as a coach, it takes time
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 14: to find those and I think what Mike did a
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 14: good job of it is finding those components, finding de
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 14: Marcus Unbers.
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 6: I need somebody.
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 14: It's not about the sack. I mean somebody that's intense
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 14: and it's somebody who gets the game. And I think
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 14: that's what it's.
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 6: About, right.
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 14: Some trump coaches chase the production so much that they
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 14: forget that it's about. A great player is only a
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 14: great player if he can be a great leader. And
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 14: I think what Mike has done is some great players
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 14: who are also great leaders. And I think that's what
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 14: he's done a great job of finding those guys, which
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 14: is really hard to do because contracts, getting the way,
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 14: a lot of different things getting away. But to find
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 14: that small minute moment where it's all about winning and
• 1:13:07
  Speaker 14: all about the organization is very rare.
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 1: Who on this defense is the you.
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 14: I would say it's me, is is Lenny Williams. I
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 14: think that's the thing that I see most like me
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 14: in a lot of the ways when it comes to
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 14: obviously he's a way larger body type than I am.
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 14: But the ability that I have flexibility to play those
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 14: three technique and just shake up the defense, I think
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 14: oil and so that's kind of how I see it.
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 14: I think Bayern Murphy is a great player too, but
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 14: I would say I probably most likely Leonard Williams.
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 4: Michael Bennett is whether it's right here on Chuck a
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 4: Buck in the morning, getting you ready for conference championships Sunday.
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 1: So break it down for us.
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 4: Let's dust off those analytics skills. Analyst skills of yours.
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 4: Tell us how this thing's gonna unfold on Sunday.
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 14: Michael, Well, I don't think it's going to be a
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 14: blowout like it was AGAUS forty nine ers, right. I
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 14: think the forty Niners suffer from the injury bug. I
• 1:14:04
  Speaker 14: think I don't know if they need to fire their
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 14: trainer or the way that the stuff, but their players
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 14: don't make it all the way to the end, and
• 1:14:10
  Speaker 14: unfortunately they don't have any of their weapons to even
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 14: make it a competitive game. I think this game is
• 1:14:15
  Speaker 14: gonna be really competitive because of the offense that the
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 14: Rams have. There's a challenge for the Seahawks both interior
• 1:14:23
  Speaker 14: and on the outside. Right, you come with Devonte Adams,
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 14: then you have Pookin the cool who is augibly the
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 14: second best receiver after JSM. When you talk about production,
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 14: making tough catchers and doing everything for an organization when
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 14: it comes to the running game, that comes to the
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 14: passing game and just being a deco on some players.
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 14: And then Matt Stafford is the reigning MVP at the moment,
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 14: he will be the MVP. I think when the season
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 14: is over. He talk about production and his ability to
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 14: place the ball. Last week in that game, those challenging moments, well,
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 14: I think, you know, the Chicago Bears were playing very well,
• 1:14:57
  Speaker 14: but Matt Stafford stood in there after getting hit in
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 14: bad plays. They're finding great moments to make those teams.
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 14: And they talked about the running game of the of
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 14: the Rams. You know, that's a real challenge too. So
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 14: what happens is that we have a really great defense.
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 14: So these are the games that it comes down to.
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 14: You know, at any type of moment when you were
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 14: in a championship game. You're not getting a slouch in
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 14: any type of way or the type of capacity. I
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 14: think what we have to strength that is our office
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 14: line versus their defensive line. I think they do a
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 14: good job on their defensive line, but there's a lot
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 14: of holes in the stretch game and the power game
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 14: that I think could be could be you know, executed
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 14: and shown to the world what we could do in
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 14: the run game. I think the playofftion game is going
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 14: to be very key to Controller and their defense, you know,
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 14: cheaper them, you know, off balance. But I think Sean
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 14: McVay is a very good coach and I think he's
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 14: probably thinking that. So I expect that they're going to
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 14: be running a lot of different blitches this week, and
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 14: so so will lead right Matt Staffie couldn't pick up
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 14: the corner blitz one time last week, you know at
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 14: number six.
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 6: But the Bears is making.
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 14: A lot of playing so I see that. You know,
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 14: we could be blitching a little bit on our defense
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 14: and final holes. But I think at the end of
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 14: the day, this game will be a twenty four to
• 1:16:10
  Speaker 14: twenty four to seventeen type of game. I don't think
• 1:16:13
  Speaker 14: it's going to be a complete shoutout. I think it's
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 14: going to be one of those games that's going to
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 14: come to the last moment and who has the ball,
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 14: And we like football like that, Right, It's going to
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 14: come down to Sam Darnold and White had the ball
• 1:16:25
  Speaker 14: in his hand, and the JSN and K nine are
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 14: going to have to make big plays. And I think
• 1:16:29
  Speaker 14: that's what this team is gonna That's what is gonna
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 14: come down to.
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 4: Michael Bennett, whether it's right he or on Chugging Buck
• 1:16:34
  Speaker 4: in the Morning Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM.
• 1:16:37
  Speaker 4: So when you were getting ready for this game in
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 4: the past, here we sit on a Friday morning, we're
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 4: a little over fifty hours.
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 1: Away from kickoff.
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 4: I mean, how did you have to like keep yourself
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 4: from getting too amped up? What was your process for
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 4: getting to the right level of amp by the time
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 4: the kickoffs started?
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 6: Well, first of all, you got to practice.
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 14: That's the first key, right, Yeah, that's probably the most
• 1:17:07
  Speaker 14: challenged thing. You know, like you're like, you know that
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 14: that's challenging one. But then the second thing was making
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 14: sure you you know, you're not overdoing it. You know,
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 14: it's like, you know, you gotta this game is a game,
• 1:17:19
  Speaker 14: even though it is right, It's like, you know, you
• 1:17:21
  Speaker 14: got to watch eat properly and just eat to sleep
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 14: and not try to do anything.
• 1:17:24
  Speaker 1: But really what I was trying to do is really.
• 1:17:27
  Speaker 14: Trying to watch the keys and understand what the office
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 14: of round me or offices game may attack us this week,
• 1:17:33
  Speaker 14: I think really just kind of just mentally going through
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 14: the game so physically when it's time to play, your
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 14: brain will react to things that you're not. Your brain
• 1:17:41
  Speaker 14: will react to things that your body would just do
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 14: because you've seen it so many times.
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 4: The most romantic evening ever spent was the night at
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 4: Michael Bennett's house after forty three to eight over the
• 1:17:53
  Speaker 4: Denver Broncos. Right that it was, it was, uh, well,
• 1:18:02
  Speaker 4: enjoy it, man, it's gonna be fun on Sunday. Where
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 4: are you gonna be for You're gonna be at the
• 1:18:07
  Speaker 4: stadium or you're gonna be home.
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 14: No, I'm gonna be at the stadium. I always missed
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 14: this sho okay, so we're gonta be there. So I'm
• 1:18:15
  Speaker 14: gonna enjoy it. I'm excited about it to see the
• 1:18:18
  Speaker 14: whole defense and just the offense in general, and just
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 14: be around offense again, right. I felt like Joe, you know,
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 14: I don't watch a lot of football all the time,
• 1:18:26
  Speaker 14: but like you know, during playoff time, you'd like to
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 14: watch it, right, and you want to see the Josh
• 1:18:31
  Speaker 14: Allens and those moments and critical moments make those ladys
• 1:18:34
  Speaker 14: like what it feels like. But I'm not gonna lie.
• 1:18:36
  Speaker 14: Last week was the first time I watched the game.
• 1:18:38
  Speaker 14: It was like, yo, I kind of wish I was playing,
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 14: you know what I'm saying. When the last week the
• 1:18:43
  Speaker 14: stadium was rocking, you know, and like the energy was,
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 14: you know, electric, it was. It was contagious. So I'm
• 1:18:51
  Speaker 14: excited to be back in that stadium in a game
• 1:18:53
  Speaker 14: like that and be around the twelves and remember like
• 1:18:56
  Speaker 14: that home Fiel advantage where nobody can't hear anything, brod
• 1:18:59
  Speaker 14: perty couldn't hear. You could hear Jesus.
• 1:19:01
  Speaker 8: You know.
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 14: It was great.
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 1: All right, Well, have fun.

• 1:19:10
  Speaker 4: talk to you down the line. We really appreciate this,
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 4: all right. Michael Bennett, former Seahawks joining US right here

  Speaker 5: I mean, he is just my favorite big game.

  Speaker 1: Sorry, not tonight.
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 4: Well, uh not just Seahawks and Rams practicing abstinence this
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 4: weekend soul of the Broncos and Patriots. We'll talk about
• 1:19:40
  Speaker 4: that game next on kJ R.
• 1:19:42
  Speaker 1: Joining us now.
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 4: On the program for some x's and o's, It is
• 1:19:45
  Speaker 4: our QB one Hugh Millan, Good morning, sir, yep, y yep,
• 1:19:50
  Speaker 4: there is happy conference chats Sunday all good.
• 1:19:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I can't give their this uh final four super
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 1: Bowl on the line.
• 1:20:02
  Speaker 4: You're right, it can't get any better than this, no
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 4: question about it. So what is it the number one,
• 1:20:08
  Speaker 4: first and foremost that you are fixated on heading into
• 1:20:12
  Speaker 4: this Sunday matchup?
• 1:20:13
  Speaker 13: Well, I would just look and say, you know, I
• 1:20:16
  Speaker 13: do believe in the five components of football, how you
• 1:20:23
  Speaker 13: run it, how you throw it, how you defend the run,
• 1:20:25
  Speaker 13: how you defend the pass, and special teams, and I
• 1:20:28
  Speaker 13: just think that all the signs point to Seattle. You know,
• 1:20:34
  Speaker 13: particularly when you look at since Thanksgiving, the trends were Seattle.
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 13: You know in rushing well in the last four weeks.
• 1:20:42
  Speaker 13: The rushing component is more of the last four games,
• 1:20:45
  Speaker 13: but they're second in the league in rushing yards a
• 1:20:49
  Speaker 13: game one hundred and seventy three, fourth in the league
• 1:20:52
  Speaker 13: in yards per temp, where the Rams are just thirteenth.
• 1:20:56
  Speaker 13: They run the ball better, they certainly defend the run
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 13: better in terms of rushing yards per attempt. The RAMS
• 1:21:06
  Speaker 13: defense has fallen to twenty seventh passer rating opponent passer rating,
• 1:21:11
  Speaker 13: the Rams pass defense has fallen to nineteenth. And then
• 1:21:15
  Speaker 13: you know, you kind of look at the total defense.
• 1:21:17
  Speaker 13: I mentioned this yesterday before Thanksgiving, the Rams they were
• 1:21:23
  Speaker 13: number one in the NFL in points allowed their defense
• 1:21:27
  Speaker 13: sixteen point three. They have now fallen to twenty fifth.
• 1:21:32
  Speaker 13: They've had a over a ten point drop where the
• 1:21:35
  Speaker 13: Seahawks they were at nineteen point seven. They were at
• 1:21:39
  Speaker 13: Thanksgiving they were seventh, pretty darn good. Since then they're
• 1:21:43
  Speaker 13: first at eleven point six. So they've had a well.
• 1:21:46
  Speaker 13: The Rams have have risen their points allowed by over ten.
• 1:21:52
  Speaker 13: The Seahawks have dropped theirs by eight. And then I
• 1:21:56
  Speaker 13: mentioned that yesterday I did not mention this, so you know,
• 1:21:59
  Speaker 13: you know this new stat EPA expected points added. I've
• 1:22:03
  Speaker 13: run the correlation numbers, not going to get in the details.
• 1:22:06
  Speaker 13: It's very high. The Rams defense. They were number one
• 1:22:11
  Speaker 13: in totaled EPA before Thanksgiving. Since then their twentieth, Seattle
• 1:22:17
  Speaker 13: was fifth, now Seattles first. But check this out the
• 1:22:21
  Speaker 13: EPA per game. I don't expect you to get it,
• 1:22:24
  Speaker 13: but you'll understand the ratios. The Rams were number one
• 1:22:28
  Speaker 13: at eight point seven per game. Okay, prior to Thanksgiving.
• 1:22:31
  Speaker 13: That's all games before Thanksgiving. God at eight point seven.
• 1:22:33
  Speaker 13: Don't expect any of us to know what eight point
• 1:22:36
  Speaker 13: seven means. But the Seahawks are number one since then,
• 1:22:40
  Speaker 13: and they're fifteen point zero six. Like eight point seven
• 1:22:44
  Speaker 13: was good enough per game to be number one. Let's
• 1:22:48
  Speaker 13: Seattle almost doubled that. Wow, So I just and then
• 1:22:52
  Speaker 13: the special teams huge discrepancies that there's been times this
• 1:22:56
  Speaker 13: year late in the year where Seattle was number one
• 1:22:58
  Speaker 13: and special teams E and the Rams were thirty second.
• 1:23:02
  Speaker 13: So four of the five categories here, you know, just
• 1:23:08
  Speaker 13: clearly point to Seattle. There's no question the Rams have
• 1:23:12
  Speaker 13: the better quarterback. He's gonna be the MVP. I hope
• 1:23:16
  Speaker 13: you asked me a follow up question. About Darnold, but
• 1:23:18
  Speaker 13: I'll give the nod, you know, sensibly and obviously to
• 1:23:23
  Speaker 13: Matthew Stafford. In the passing game, they get Devonte Adams back.
• 1:23:27
  Speaker 13: But is one component the Rams are better in one component?
• 1:23:31
  Speaker 13: Is that really enough to offset the four other components?
• 1:23:35
  Speaker 13: Seattle's better then, I don't think so. But you know,
• 1:23:40
  Speaker 13: quarterbacks have put a team on their back before. We'll
• 1:23:43
  Speaker 13: see if it happens Sunday, hope, but hopefully it doesn't.
• 1:23:45
  Speaker 9: Yeah, well, that's a good way look at the thirty
• 1:23:47
  Speaker 9: thousand foot view. Kind of feels like there's advantage Seahawks
• 1:23:51
  Speaker 9: in a lot of them. But you said not in
• 1:23:53
  Speaker 9: the quarterback position, understandably, So I suppose Matthew Stafford is
• 1:23:56
  Speaker 9: probably going to be the MVP at the end of
• 1:23:58
  Speaker 9: this thing. But why or what is it about Sam
• 1:24:01
  Speaker 9: Donald that is less than.
• 1:24:04
  Speaker 13: Well, you know, he was flying along the He still
• 1:24:07
  Speaker 13: ends up second in in the NFL in yards per dropback,
• 1:24:12
  Speaker 13: which is an extremely high, in fact, the highest potency
• 1:24:16
  Speaker 13: rate ACIEMI correlation rate and potency rate, so that that's
• 1:24:20
  Speaker 13: a big yards per drop back. You know, you have
• 1:24:24
  Speaker 13: yards per attempting, you have net yards per attempt, yards
• 1:24:26
  Speaker 13: per dropback includes sacks and scrambles, and so it's like
• 1:24:31
  Speaker 13: every time Clint Kubak calls a pass play, what's the result?
• 1:24:36
  Speaker 13: And and Donald is number two. But a couple of things.
• 1:24:41
  Speaker 13: You know, while they were really stretching the field that
• 1:24:45
  Speaker 13: the prior to Thanksgiving air yards per attempt. At that juncture,
• 1:24:51
  Speaker 13: we would have said Donald's number two in the NFL.
• 1:24:54
  Speaker 13: Since then, thirty second, they've gone from eight point nine
• 1:24:58
  Speaker 13: to six point two. Uh, you know that's a concern.
• 1:25:02
  Speaker 13: Passing yards per completion. Before Thanksgiving, Donald was number one
• 1:25:06
  Speaker 13: thirteen point four. Now he's fifteenth to ten point eight.
• 1:25:10
  Speaker 13: But I do want to say about him that, you know,
• 1:25:13
  Speaker 13: I heard you guys talking about some of the critique.
• 1:25:16
  Speaker 13: Here's some some inarguable facts. This is really simple. Sam Donald,
• 1:25:22
  Speaker 13: for the first time in his career, sat in Carolina
• 1:25:27
  Speaker 13: in twenty twenty two. He had a high inkle sprain
• 1:25:29
  Speaker 13: and blah blah blah, and he did not start until
• 1:25:33
  Speaker 13: the twelfth game. Since that time, he has call it
• 1:25:38
  Speaker 13: Thanksgiving of twenty twenty two. Since that time, he has
• 1:25:41
  Speaker 13: forty three starts for four different teams. He's won thirty
• 1:25:46
  Speaker 13: three of forty three. This is regular season and playoff.
• 1:25:49
  Speaker 13: He's won thirty three of forty three. That's seventy six
• 1:25:52
  Speaker 13: point seven percent of his games. That's number one of
• 1:25:55
  Speaker 13: all quarterbacks. There's sixty eight quarterbacks who have started five
• 1:25:59
  Speaker 13: or more games since then. That's he has the number
• 1:26:02
  Speaker 13: one win percentage of all those since Thanksgiving of twenty
• 1:26:07
  Speaker 13: twenty two, and that his number of one hundred or
• 1:26:11
  Speaker 13: more passer rating games. Twenty six of forty three games
• 1:26:15
  Speaker 13: he has had one hundred or more passer rating. These
• 1:26:18
  Speaker 13: are regular season and playoffs. That is number one in
• 1:26:21
  Speaker 13: the NFL sixty point five percent. Second is Jared Goff.
• 1:26:25
  Speaker 13: So let me just summarize it. In that period, he's
• 1:26:30
  Speaker 13: the win he has the highest win percentage and the
• 1:26:33
  Speaker 13: highest percentage of his of his games that he produces
• 1:26:36
  Speaker 13: one hundred or more passer rating. I don't understand why
• 1:26:39
  Speaker 13: some people can't say this. If you talk to a
• 1:26:43
  Speaker 13: I don't know, occupational psychologist or something in any field,
• 1:26:47
  Speaker 13: and you said that there's, you know, on thirty two
• 1:26:50
  Speaker 13: starting quarterbacks. Let's say there's forty candidates. Let's just say forty.
• 1:26:54
  Speaker 13: Nobody would ever say that all forty of them are
• 1:26:58
  Speaker 13: going to be excit exactly as at age twenty eight
• 1:27:03
  Speaker 13: as they were at age twenty one. Nobody would say
• 1:27:06
  Speaker 13: that in any field. They would say, look, let's just say,
• 1:27:10
  Speaker 13: arguably most of them, you are who you are. But somebody,
• 1:27:14
  Speaker 13: at some point in every field would say, no, we
• 1:27:16
  Speaker 13: would expect that some people have improvement in their jobs.
• 1:27:22
  Speaker 13: And it's like we just want to say no, all
• 1:27:26
  Speaker 13: forty perspective and past. You know, starting quarterbacks, they are,
• 1:27:31
  Speaker 13: They're whoever they were at twenty one, That's who they're
• 1:27:34
  Speaker 13: going to be at twenty eight. Nobody's ever going to improve.
• 1:27:36
  Speaker 13: Nobody would say that. No psychologists, no, No sensibly thinking
• 1:27:39
  Speaker 13: person would think that. If you actually thought about for
• 1:27:43
  Speaker 13: a minute, you would actually say, even if you didn't
• 1:27:44
  Speaker 13: know if a football was pumped or stuffed, you would
• 1:27:47
  Speaker 13: expect that we would get a handful of forty guys
• 1:27:51
  Speaker 13: that would actually improve. And you know these numbers, you know,
• 1:27:56
  Speaker 13: they just keep screaming at us. Hey, I'm one of
• 1:27:59
  Speaker 13: the dudes. I'm one of the dudes who actually found
• 1:28:02
  Speaker 13: a way to improve at his job. Yes, yeah, and
• 1:28:09
  Speaker 13: yet the narrative continues.
• 1:28:11
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 1:28:11
  Speaker 1: I mean it's crazy.
• 1:28:13
  Speaker 4: And you know, and it's going everywhere. I mean, I
• 1:28:15
  Speaker 4: just heard this morning. Most people in the football world
• 1:28:19
  Speaker 4: don't believe in Sam Darnold. I heard that quote from
• 1:28:22
  Speaker 4: a national analyst that used to play football in the NFL.
• 1:28:26
  Speaker 1: It just won't stop.
• 1:28:27
  Speaker 4: So I hope, for no other reason Seahawks go to
• 1:28:31
  Speaker 4: the Super Bowl just to shut some people up.
• 1:28:34
  Speaker 13: Yeah, that among many reasons, right, yeah, exactly, I understand you,
• 1:28:39
  Speaker 13: you know, like Steven a, he's you know, something digging
• 1:28:41
  Speaker 13: in and if you if you, if you paint the
• 1:28:44
  Speaker 13: argument like hey, sooner or later, this guy's going to
• 1:28:47
  Speaker 13: turn into a pumpkin.
• 1:28:48
  Speaker 6: Right.
• 1:28:49
  Speaker 1: Uh, Well, if you set the rules.
• 1:28:51
  Speaker 13: That way and you just sit there and you wait,
• 1:28:54
  Speaker 13: and it doesn't matter how many wins he gets in there,
• 1:28:57
  Speaker 13: and then eventually he has a bad game and you lose,
• 1:28:59
  Speaker 13: well you've just crafted the argument where you can't lose.
• 1:29:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah. So yeah, all those guys.
• 1:29:04
  Speaker 13: By their terms of their rules, how they define the argument,
• 1:29:08
  Speaker 13: they're gonna you know, they're gonna win eventually, because eventually
• 1:29:10
  Speaker 13: Darnold's gonna have a bad game and they're gon and
• 1:29:13
  Speaker 13: the Seahawks are gonna lose. And then I told you,
• 1:29:16
  Speaker 13: I told you that was gonna you know whatever. Okay, Yeah,
• 1:29:20
  Speaker 13: go ahead, create the rules. If you know, I guess
• 1:29:21
  Speaker 13: if you when you play basketball, you can you can
• 1:29:24
  Speaker 13: double dribble and travel, pick up the ball, hold it
• 1:29:26
  Speaker 13: in your arm, whatever.
• 1:29:27
  Speaker 1: Create the rules how you want, you know, narrative. Yeah, right, Ah.
• 1:29:33
  Speaker 4: The QB one's got a lot of stuff figured out.
• 1:29:35
  Speaker 4: Hugh Mellen is with us here Monday morning. Uh, not
• 1:29:39
  Speaker 4: Monday morning quarterbacking. We are Friday X is an o ing.
• 1:29:41
  Speaker 4: I'm not want to go all the way back to Monday.
• 1:29:43
  Speaker 10: Uh.
• 1:29:43
  Speaker 1: We are getting ready for Sunday.
• 1:29:45
  Speaker 10: Uh.
• 1:29:46
  Speaker 4: And his segment brought to you by Frost Brewed Corps light.
• 1:29:48
  Speaker 4: But I think back to the two games these two
• 1:29:50
  Speaker 4: teams have faced, my goodness, strange like mirror images of
• 1:29:55
  Speaker 4: one another.
• 1:29:57
  Speaker 1: And and yet.
• 1:29:59
  Speaker 4: Gray's abel as goes far Hugh as the saying that
• 1:30:02
  Speaker 4: might be the two worst games that we played all
• 1:30:04
  Speaker 4: season long. What do you make sense of those two
• 1:30:07
  Speaker 4: matchups that can help us try to evaluate someday.
• 1:30:10
  Speaker 13: Yeah, and you know, credit him, you know, I went
• 1:30:13
  Speaker 13: back and you know, watch the tapes. And in the
• 1:30:15
  Speaker 13: most recent recent game he had, he had, he gave
• 1:30:18
  Speaker 13: up a couple of stats.
• 1:30:20
  Speaker 10: Sacks.
• 1:30:20
  Speaker 13: Kobe Turner number ninety one is a real wide Uh,
• 1:30:24
  Speaker 13: you know, just bull of a guy. And and in
• 1:30:27
  Speaker 13: one of them, uh, there's what we call I'm gonna
• 1:30:29
  Speaker 13: get a little exit. You know here at two tech
• 1:30:31
  Speaker 13: basically right right over the guard, he did a rip
• 1:30:36
  Speaker 13: an arm over go to it, going into his outside gap.
• 1:30:40
  Speaker 13: And then and then later he's a three tech way
• 1:30:43
  Speaker 13: out to the outside.
• 1:30:44
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 1:30:45
  Speaker 13: And and he did a rip arm under and uh.
• 1:30:50
  Speaker 13: And then in both of those cases he was in
• 1:30:53
  Speaker 13: the B gap, but it was Kobe Turner. He also
• 1:30:55
  Speaker 13: had a false start, gave up three pressers, looked up
• 1:30:58
  Speaker 13: the first game he had repressures those were one of
• 1:31:02
  Speaker 13: them was to Turner. But also he got locked up
• 1:31:06
  Speaker 13: against Jared Verse on one where he term is called
• 1:31:10
  Speaker 13: fanned out where the guard has to take the end.
• 1:31:12
  Speaker 13: That was a bad mismatch, and Landman, the linebacker got
• 1:31:20
  Speaker 13: of got him in a bull rush. So yeah, he's
• 1:31:22
  Speaker 13: had some bad plays, but you know, I think the
• 1:31:25
  Speaker 13: guy's a tough kid mentally, and he'll battle through Sunday.
• 1:31:29
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 1:31:29
  Speaker 9: Well, one guy that doesn't have a lot of bad
• 1:31:31
  Speaker 9: plays but had a whole bunch of good ones is
• 1:31:33
  Speaker 9: Pook and a Coup. I mean, I don't know for
• 1:31:36
  Speaker 9: sure if you win if you let him go off
• 1:31:38
  Speaker 9: for twelve and two twenty five and a couple of touchdowns.
• 1:31:40
  Speaker 1: What do they got to do to slow that dude down.
• 1:31:42
  Speaker 13: Well, we mentioned yesterday, you know, in each of the
• 1:31:45
  Speaker 13: would you be okay with this? How about if Pooka
• 1:31:48
  Speaker 13: has seven catches for seventy five yards, no touchdowns, and oh,
• 1:31:53
  Speaker 13: by the way, we punch out a fumble on him,
• 1:31:56
  Speaker 13: we'd be okay with that.
• 1:31:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:31:58
  Speaker 13: Well that's what Pooka had down in LA and that's
• 1:32:01
  Speaker 13: when they had Davonte Adams. Now up in Seattle, things
• 1:32:05
  Speaker 13: kind of got away from him. The four catches over
• 1:32:08
  Speaker 13: ten yards were all over twenty five yards.
• 1:32:12
  Speaker 1: The two mill.
• 1:32:14
  Speaker 13: You know, two deep crossing routes where you know he
• 1:32:18
  Speaker 13: beat Ernest Jones and then twice on those. So in
• 1:32:22
  Speaker 13: zone coverage they were different. One was a three deep,
• 1:32:25
  Speaker 13: one was a two deep. But in zone coverage, those
• 1:32:27
  Speaker 13: hook zone defenders think of them like the second base
• 1:32:30
  Speaker 13: and the shortstops. They have to be able to uh,
• 1:32:33
  Speaker 13: to be able to be aware of when Niku is
• 1:32:36
  Speaker 13: coming into their area. The other one, now, I think
• 1:32:39
  Speaker 13: you guys could vouch for me. I'm I've been about
• 1:32:42
  Speaker 13: as strong as a guy could be on Mike McDonald right. Uh,
• 1:32:47
  Speaker 13: you know, stayed up most of the night when he
• 1:32:49
  Speaker 13: got acquired and came on your show, and I said, hey, look,
• 1:32:52
  Speaker 13: I think this guy's the premier defensive mine on the planet.
• 1:32:55
  Speaker 6: Yep.
• 1:32:55
  Speaker 13: And so I think you'd be hard pressed to find
• 1:33:00
  Speaker 13: somebody more supportive of Mike McDonald.
• 1:33:02
  Speaker 1: I love the guy.
• 1:33:03
  Speaker 13: You know, his personality, who he is as a professional,
• 1:33:06
  Speaker 13: his vision for defensive football, and what have you. That's
• 1:33:09
  Speaker 13: a preface to say that fifty eight yarder, that that
• 1:33:15
  Speaker 13: that Nikua had the longest game, that was borderline football malpractice.
• 1:33:22
  Speaker 13: And let me explain what I mean if if you
• 1:33:25
  Speaker 13: there's a thing called cover zero and the NFL plays
• 1:33:28
  Speaker 13: at about two point six percent of the time on
• 1:33:30
  Speaker 13: the aggregate, people do not want to pull a safety
• 1:33:33
  Speaker 13: out of the middle. But when you pull a safety
• 1:33:36
  Speaker 13: out of the middle, you jolly well better be Russian
• 1:33:39
  Speaker 13: seven guys and trying to get to the quarterback immediately. Well,
• 1:33:44
  Speaker 13: Seattle had a play where Pooka Nicola lined on the
• 1:33:49
  Speaker 13: right side and they played event for Kobe Bryant's standpoint,
• 1:33:54
  Speaker 13: they played cover zero, which means he was head up
• 1:33:56
  Speaker 13: over Pooker Nicoua no denying of free access, no redirect
• 1:34:02
  Speaker 13: and because he's in the slot, Kobe Bryant had to
• 1:34:05
  Speaker 13: cover the corner route and all out breaking routes. He
• 1:34:08
  Speaker 13: had to cover in breaking routes. He with no help
• 1:34:13
  Speaker 13: of h he was the safety in man to man,
• 1:34:16
  Speaker 13: he had to have vertical. It was just it's an
• 1:34:19
  Speaker 13: awful thing. I'm not saying this for effect. I'm saying
• 1:34:24
  Speaker 13: this literally. Tell me who the best corner in the
• 1:34:27
  Speaker 13: league is. Christian Gonzalez, Pat Sirtan, pick your guy and
• 1:34:33
  Speaker 13: I played with Dion Sanders uh in in Atlanta and
• 1:34:37
  Speaker 13: that going on. If you had any corner in the
• 1:34:42
  Speaker 13: NFL matched up in the slot like that and you
• 1:34:46
  Speaker 13: only rush five guys and you don't you you give
• 1:34:49
  Speaker 13: the MVP Matthew Stafford a chance to throw on a
• 1:34:52
  Speaker 13: three way break. It essentially cover zero against Pat Sirtan.
• 1:34:58
  Speaker 13: I'm putting my money on on the offense all day long.
• 1:35:01
  Speaker 13: That's like seven on set. That's like one on one
• 1:35:04
  Speaker 13: drill in in practice. That is literally like one on one.
• 1:35:07
  Speaker 13: And that's what they did with uh Kobe Bryant on
• 1:35:11
  Speaker 13: Pokin Colea. And you say, well, Kobe got Bryant, got
• 1:35:14
  Speaker 13: bet your jolly well, righty got beat because he was
• 1:35:17
  Speaker 13: asked to do something he should never be asked to do.
• 1:35:19
  Speaker 13: No corner in the NFL should be asked to do
• 1:35:21
  Speaker 13: what he did.
• 1:35:23
  Speaker 6: Uh.
• 1:35:23
  Speaker 13: I don't care who you are in history, and so
• 1:35:27
  Speaker 13: I say that as a critique of what happened on
• 1:35:29
  Speaker 13: that play. But also here's the comma, there's no way
• 1:35:34
  Speaker 13: Mike McDonald's doing that again. No way, like like there's
• 1:35:38
  Speaker 13: this is very fixable. On the other side, Uh, the
• 1:35:40
  Speaker 13: safety there was a you know, the rooky tight end.
• 1:35:43
  Speaker 13: You know, you jammed and redirected him. You should have
• 1:35:46
  Speaker 13: spent your resources to jam and redirect Poka Nikua. So
• 1:35:50
  Speaker 13: that's a that's just a big like that would be
• 1:35:52
  Speaker 13: the equivalent of a pick six Mike McDonald, you know,
• 1:35:55
  Speaker 13: by quarterback terms on a coaching that was a pick six.
• 1:35:58
  Speaker 4: Well, I hope he's and I know he will have
• 1:36:01
  Speaker 4: some strategies to slow that guy down because the only
• 1:36:04
  Speaker 4: other alternative is an exorcism because he looked like a demon.
• 1:36:08
  Speaker 13: Well you know there's another one though, that's like the
• 1:36:11
  Speaker 13: one outbreaking route on the long you know, he beat
• 1:36:15
  Speaker 13: Devin Witherspoon on a corner route and Witherspoon had dead
• 1:36:18
  Speaker 13: perfect coverage and it was just a beautiful high and
• 1:36:21
  Speaker 13: away throw.
• 1:36:22
  Speaker 1: Phooka went up and got the ball.
• 1:36:24
  Speaker 13: And if you're coaching Witherspoon and he says, well, what
• 1:36:28
  Speaker 13: should I do different, your answer is nothing. You know,
• 1:36:31
  Speaker 13: like you were right there. We didn't get the pressure
• 1:36:34
  Speaker 13: and man and man Darnold had a clean pocket. Excuse me,
• 1:36:37
  Speaker 13: obviously Stafford had a clean pocket and he, you know,
• 1:36:41
  Speaker 13: the best quarterback in the world arguably right now through
• 1:36:45
  Speaker 13: to the best receiver a perfect throw. So you know,
• 1:36:49
  Speaker 13: they they they're gonna win some too. They're getting paid
• 1:36:52
  Speaker 13: and and they're you know, they're winning a lot of
• 1:36:54
  Speaker 13: trophies at the end for things like MVP and play
• 1:36:56
  Speaker 13: Offensive Player of the Year and all that kind of stuff.
• 1:36:58
  Speaker 1: So yeah, it's just one of those kind of games.
• 1:37:01
  Speaker 1: Hopefully they clean a few of those up. Hugh Mellan
• 1:37:03
  Speaker 1: is with us.
• 1:37:04
  Speaker 4: I mean, there's so many different angles that we could
• 1:37:06
  Speaker 4: go with, but I want to use our last minute
• 1:37:08
  Speaker 4: or two for Bucky's sake, because in the other game,
• 1:37:13
  Speaker 4: we obviously have a very interesting thing involving a quarterback.
• 1:37:17
  Speaker 1: That's going to happen.
• 1:37:18
  Speaker 4: And you always self deprecate I mean, you were a
• 1:37:21
  Speaker 4: heck of a quarterback, but you know, you spent some
• 1:37:24
  Speaker 4: time as a backup in the National Football League, and
• 1:37:27
  Speaker 4: so you could have very easily been Jared Stidham. You
• 1:37:30
  Speaker 4: could have been the guy that John Elway got to
• 1:37:32
  Speaker 4: the doorstep of the Super Bowl and then all of
• 1:37:35
  Speaker 4: a sudden, you know, rolls his ankle in the shower. Milan,
• 1:37:38
  Speaker 4: You're starting the AFC Championship Game. So how would you
• 1:37:43
  Speaker 4: have felt in that situation? How is Jared Stidham feeling
• 1:37:46
  Speaker 4: right now in this situation?
• 1:37:48
  Speaker 13: Well, I don't know Jared Stidham. He's been in the
• 1:37:52
  Speaker 13: league seven years. I think he's got real traits. I mean,
• 1:37:56
  Speaker 13: he was originally drafted to be the heir apparent to
• 1:37:59
  Speaker 13: Tom Brady, was he huh and and so uh. I
• 1:38:03
  Speaker 13: would just say, I think he's nervous, but he's been
• 1:38:07
  Speaker 13: around long enough to know that if you know, he
• 1:38:09
  Speaker 13: can calm those nerve nerves down quite a bit. I mean,
• 1:38:12
  Speaker 13: Troy Aikman, bless his heart, Troy Aikman admitted in the
• 1:38:16
  Speaker 13: first quarter of his first Super Bowl he was hyperventil
• 1:38:18
  Speaker 13: and he was so nervous that everything just got totally
• 1:38:21
  Speaker 13: overwhelming to him playing in the Rose Bowl, you know,
• 1:38:24
  Speaker 13: a stadium that he was familiar with, Like, he just
• 1:38:26
  Speaker 13: couldn't handle the nerves and it took him a long
• 1:38:29
  Speaker 13: damn time. Now he ended up being the MVP, so
• 1:38:31
  Speaker 13: he can tell the media. But there's a lot of
• 1:38:34
  Speaker 13: guys who've had bad games that would never say that.
• 1:38:36
  Speaker 13: So I think, yeah, I think he's gonna be really nervous.
• 1:38:38
  Speaker 13: But I think, and I'm not a big Seawn Peyton fan,
• 1:38:42
  Speaker 13: I think the thing that he said about Hackett was
• 1:38:46
  Speaker 13: just as classless as as can be. So I think
• 1:38:51
  Speaker 13: that dude's got an ego.
• 1:38:52
  Speaker 6: I'm not.
• 1:38:52
  Speaker 13: I'm not a Sean Peyton fan, but I can recognize
• 1:38:55
  Speaker 13: this guy's freaking good, really good. Look what he did
• 1:38:59
  Speaker 13: at Drew Brees with Drew Brees obviously, Look what he's
• 1:39:01
  Speaker 13: done with UH with O Nicks and and so I
• 1:39:07
  Speaker 13: would say it's not gonna shock. I think New England.
• 1:39:11
  Speaker 13: I think they're gonna hold him in check. But if
• 1:39:14
  Speaker 13: they can protect from him and and he get that
• 1:39:17
  Speaker 13: those first you know, three four, five plays of Sean
• 1:39:21
  Speaker 13: Payton's gonna devise something to give him the best chance
• 1:39:24
  Speaker 13: to start, get some completions and feel confident, and then
• 1:39:28
  Speaker 13: don't be surprised if Sean Payton finds a way to
• 1:39:33
  Speaker 13: get a game plan together that that you know, you know,
• 1:39:38
  Speaker 13: keeps the Broncos in it longer than you think.
• 1:39:40
  Speaker 1: I think I would bet against him. I would bet
• 1:39:43
  Speaker 1: against him.
• 1:39:44
  Speaker 13: But but there is a model in my mind, a
• 1:39:46
  Speaker 13: you know, a one in three or one in four
• 1:39:49
  Speaker 13: chance that that Stidham just balls out, And primarily because
• 1:39:54
  Speaker 13: of Sean Payton's understanding of quarterback coaching and constructing an
• 1:39:59
  Speaker 13: offense or a player strings awesome, all right.
• 1:40:02
  Speaker 4: Man, well enjoyed on Sunday. We look forward to the
• 1:40:05
  Speaker 4: recap on Monday. Hopefully we'll all be in a good mood.
• 1:40:08
  Speaker 4: Can't get better? Yeah, love it? Okay? Thanks Arius Here

• 1:41:40
  Speaker 9: Look at yeah exactly now it's f me huh, just
• 1:41:45
  Speaker 9: simply because you were pointing out something that's basically obvious, right,
• 1:41:50
  Speaker 9: I mean.
• 1:41:53
  Speaker 1: Some people would even say great, yeah, but he wanted
• 1:41:56
  Speaker 1: me to pass that along.
• 1:41:57
  Speaker 9: To bottom line is head to head matters, right, And
• 1:42:00

• 1:42:07
  Speaker 4: You just you just hold on. It is Mike Onger
• 1:42:13
  Speaker 4: now joins us here on the program. Good morning, sir.
• 1:42:17
  Speaker 10: Good morning guys. Pretty good. Uh, that's good. Yeah, good morning.
• 1:42:21
  Speaker 10: How's it going great?
• 1:42:23
  Speaker 1: Great? All right? So I need you to help Ashley
• 1:42:25
  Speaker 1: and I here a little bit.
• 1:42:27
  Speaker 4: You are not only a great x's and o's, one
• 1:42:30
  Speaker 4: of the greatest minds, the greatest codorback coaches in the
• 1:42:33
  Speaker 4: history of the NFL, but also obviously a phenomenal leader
• 1:42:36
  Speaker 4: of people. You've proven that over time. So I need
• 1:42:39
  Speaker 4: your leadership. I need your guidance. If this Sunday, the
• 1:42:43
  Speaker 4: Seahawks and the Broncos both win, how would you advise
• 1:42:48
  Speaker 4: Ashley and I over the course of two weeks of
• 1:42:51
  Speaker 4: shows to handle the last meeting between the Seahawks and
• 1:42:55
  Speaker 4: the Broncos in the Super Bowl.
• 1:42:57
  Speaker 1: How should we do that delicately? Around Bucky?
• 1:43:02
  Speaker 10: Well, you know I've felt his wrath before, and uh,
• 1:43:08
  Speaker 10: that's a tough one because he's a big, strong guy.
• 1:43:12
  Speaker 10: We love him, but he's got a blind spot, a
• 1:43:15
  Speaker 10: little bit of a blind spot with the with the Broncos.
• 1:43:20
  Speaker 6: You know.
• 1:43:21
  Speaker 10: So I would just say, be careful, steer clear, and yeah,
• 1:43:27
  Speaker 10: I don't think I'm kind of into the studio that weekend.
• 1:43:30
  Speaker 10: I'll just stay away.
• 1:43:31
  Speaker 4: But if the needle had to point to tread lightly
• 1:43:35
  Speaker 4: or rub it in his face or play.
• 1:43:37
  Speaker 5: Endless highlights of the forty three to eight wins.
• 1:43:40
  Speaker 1: Where would where would your needle point? As a leader
• 1:43:42
  Speaker 1: of us?
• 1:43:43
  Speaker 10: Well, yeah, you know what, I've teased him enough about it.
• 1:43:46
  Speaker 10: He's been teased over the by you a little bit.
• 1:43:49
  Speaker 10: So I back away and just handle it.
• 1:43:54
  Speaker 5: I love you, but you're dead wrong here.
• 1:43:58
  Speaker 6: Sports.
• 1:43:59
  Speaker 10: You know what I'm I'm trying for the dip.
• 1:44:02
  Speaker 5: He's dip in the future.
• 1:44:04
  Speaker 8: He's got a cloud of he's got other things on
• 1:44:07
  Speaker 8: his mind.
• 1:44:07
  Speaker 5: This is it's a tainted Sunday.
• 1:44:10
  Speaker 10: Yeah, And I think it wouldn't take much for him
• 1:44:12
  Speaker 10: to say, hey, I can't give it to you because
• 1:44:14
  Speaker 10: I'm this. That's fair and I don't want to go there.
• 1:44:17
  Speaker 5: That's fair.
• 1:44:17
  Speaker 9: It's possible if you did rub it and you may
• 1:44:19
  Speaker 9: I might just bring in help, Dick, I guess.
• 1:44:21
  Speaker 1: In front of you.
• 1:44:22
  Speaker 9: Yeah, no, I'd bring it in and be like, oh
• 1:44:24
  Speaker 9: you want some of this, coach. No, not one of
• 1:44:26
  Speaker 9: those snide remarks about my broncos I've dealt with enough
• 1:44:30
  Speaker 9: pain from that forty three to eight sheilacky. We only
• 1:44:33
  Speaker 9: two weeks of it leading up to the next one,
• 1:44:36
  Speaker 9: just one then one.
• 1:44:37
  Speaker 1: But he's been one week treading lightly one week.
• 1:44:41
  Speaker 6: All right.
• 1:44:41
  Speaker 1: I think I like that. I think we've reached a
• 1:44:44
  Speaker 1: good compromise. I don't think we have the best.
• 1:44:47
  Speaker 4: All right, coach, here we go Conference championship game coming
• 1:44:52
  Speaker 4: up on Sunday. What's Mike McDonald making sure that he's
• 1:44:57
  Speaker 4: got down on lock So he's got his guys ready
• 1:45:00
  Speaker 4: to go at the exact time of kickoff to be
• 1:45:03
  Speaker 4: at their fiercest and most focused.
• 1:45:06
  Speaker 10: Yeah, you know. I heard him speak to that a
• 1:45:08
  Speaker 10: little bit this week, talking about how it's a it's
• 1:45:11
  Speaker 10: a normal week when when we it's not a normal week.
• 1:45:14
  Speaker 10: But he kind of targeted a normal week. Our practice
• 1:45:16
  Speaker 10: plan is the same. Everything he said I agreed with,
• 1:45:20
  Speaker 10: and I said, Okay, they're preparing for this the way
• 1:45:24
  Speaker 10: that you know you should he's this. You know, I
• 1:45:28
  Speaker 10: was in a lot of playoff games. He is going
• 1:45:30
  Speaker 10: to be in a lot of playoff games, and uh,
• 1:45:34
  Speaker 10: they're doing it the right way. And I think he
• 1:45:36
  Speaker 10: just knows, uh, based on what Stafford and with the
• 1:45:40
  Speaker 10: Rams offense did in that one game. Uh, you know,
• 1:45:46
  Speaker 10: that's what he's That's what he's planned for defending that
• 1:45:50
  Speaker 10: that he that really is the focus the high scoring game,
• 1:45:53
  Speaker 10: not the first one.
• 1:45:55
  Speaker 1: How how much pressure? I mean, where's the pressure? Lie?
• 1:45:58
  Speaker 9: It kind of feels to me that maybe the Seahawks
• 1:46:01
  Speaker 9: are I mean, right now, I think that most people
• 1:46:03
  Speaker 9: consider them the favorites to win at all. And yet
• 1:46:06
  Speaker 9: I don't think that was the thought coming into the season.
• 1:46:10
  Speaker 9: And so there's pressure that comes with all of a
• 1:46:12
  Speaker 9: sudden arriving on the doorstep and you're right there versus
• 1:46:15
  Speaker 9: you know, you have an aging quarterback, the guy that's
• 1:46:17
  Speaker 9: probably gonna win the MVP, and and they've been there,
• 1:46:20
  Speaker 9: done that before. Which team do you feel has more
• 1:46:23
  Speaker 9: pressure going into this game?
• 1:46:26
  Speaker 10: Oh gosh, I think there's enough to spread around in
• 1:46:29
  Speaker 10: my opinion, you know, but I think that you know,
• 1:46:34
  Speaker 10: the Rams coming into the season, I think we're the
• 1:46:37
  Speaker 10: favorite odds on favorite, and the Seahawks have had a
• 1:46:41
  Speaker 10: remarkable year, and so I think there's more pressure. I
• 1:46:47
  Speaker 10: think there's more pressure on the Rams, even though the
• 1:46:49
  Speaker 10: Seahawks are, you know, felt around the league to be
• 1:46:53
  Speaker 10: the team that's gonna go. But I think the Rams,
• 1:46:58
  Speaker 10: given that they've been there before and mcveigh's record and
• 1:47:02
  Speaker 10: all that kind of stuff, I think there's more a
• 1:47:04
  Speaker 10: little bit more pressure on the Rams.
• 1:47:06
  Speaker 4: Mike Olmbrian with us here on chucking Buck in the morning.
• 1:47:09
  Speaker 4: I mean, we've had a couple of weeks of talking
• 1:47:11
  Speaker 4: about a Sam Donald injury. You're coming off a game
• 1:47:14
  Speaker 4: in which Ken Walker ran wild and Sam only had
• 1:47:17
  Speaker 4: to throw the ball seventeen times and still put forty
• 1:47:20
  Speaker 4: one points up on the board. So keeping all of
• 1:47:23
  Speaker 4: that in mind, how do you start this game offensively?
• 1:47:26
  Speaker 4: If you're Mike McDonald and Clint Kubiak, are we gonna
• 1:47:29
  Speaker 4: be aggressive or are you gonna try to see if
• 1:47:33
  Speaker 4: we can just you know, kind of take the air
• 1:47:35
  Speaker 4: out of the ball, keep it away from Stafford, run
• 1:47:38
  Speaker 4: this thing all day long, and then we'll just pick
• 1:47:41
  Speaker 4: and choose where Sam Donald throws to loosen up the defense.
• 1:47:46
  Speaker 10: You know, that's really a good question, Chuck, I would
• 1:47:48
  Speaker 10: think I would think I would I hope I would
• 1:47:51
  Speaker 10: like to see him come out throwing it, you know.
• 1:47:53
  Speaker 10: I mean, of course I have to run with Walker.
• 1:47:55
  Speaker 10: They're going to incorporate that in there. But they come
• 1:47:59
  Speaker 10: out and and and mix it up pretty good early.
• 1:48:02
  Speaker 10: You know, play you know you heard this from me before.
• 1:48:05
  Speaker 10: Play pass movement, get him off his spot, okay, and
• 1:48:08
  Speaker 10: then just get the ball in jagma, you know, just
• 1:48:11
  Speaker 10: get the ball out of his hands quickly because the
• 1:48:13
  Speaker 10: Rams have a pretty good defense in front, and you know,
• 1:48:17
  Speaker 10: start to gain that way. Don't know, hold, don't hold
• 1:48:20
  Speaker 10: anything back, just let it fly.
• 1:48:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Uh, I mean you're talking about Ken Walker.
• 1:48:24
  Speaker 9: He's going to have to basically carry the load, and
• 1:48:27
  Speaker 9: yet he has a lot to run for from in
• 1:48:29
  Speaker 9: your opinion, Uh, the idea of keeping two having two
• 1:48:33
  Speaker 9: running backs and keeping them both healthy, you know, is
• 1:48:36
  Speaker 9: the way that you most teams do it nowadays. But
• 1:48:38
  Speaker 9: what type of benefits do you get when all of
• 1:48:41
  Speaker 9: a sudden you get a guy in there and he
• 1:48:42
  Speaker 9: starts to kind of feel himself a little bit and
• 1:48:44
  Speaker 9: gets to really get roll in the way that they're
• 1:48:46
  Speaker 9: hoping he does. With all the carries this weekend.
• 1:48:49
  Speaker 10: You know, Buck, I think you bring up a good point,
• 1:48:51
  Speaker 10: because you're right, that wasn't the way we used to
• 1:48:54
  Speaker 10: do it, you know. And I think during the course
• 1:48:57
  Speaker 10: they take a Sean Alexander or Edgar Bennett or guys
• 1:49:00
  Speaker 10: they had in Green Bay, the forty nine ers with
• 1:49:03
  Speaker 10: Roger Craig. You you, I think the back as the
• 1:49:06
  Speaker 10: game goes along, you know, you start to feel things.
• 1:49:10
  Speaker 10: If you pop a couple, you start feeling better. You know,
• 1:49:13
  Speaker 10: you gain a momentum by by running the more plays.
• 1:49:18
  Speaker 10: And now he's going to get that opportunity.
• 1:49:20
  Speaker 6: You know.
• 1:49:21
  Speaker 10: The way they've done it so far and played both backs,
• 1:49:25
  Speaker 10: particularly down the stretcher, it's really worked for him. And
• 1:49:28
  Speaker 10: now they now they don't have that second back. I
• 1:49:30
  Speaker 10: mean they have a second back, but not like Charbonay.
• 1:49:33
  Speaker 10: So we'll see what Walker does. I mean, I you know,
• 1:49:36
  Speaker 10: I don't I don't think he gets tired when they
• 1:49:38
  Speaker 10: take him out of the game. Maybe he gets a
• 1:49:40
  Speaker 10: little tired, he needs a blow down. And then but
• 1:49:42
  Speaker 10: if he's if he's feeling good, let him go, let
• 1:49:46
  Speaker 10: him go. And and and I think I think you
• 1:49:48
  Speaker 10: got something really special.
• 1:49:49
  Speaker 1: There, all right.
• 1:49:50
  Speaker 4: So if you and uh, you know, you know, Buddy Ryan,
• 1:49:54
  Speaker 4: we're out, you know, picking out teams in the backyard,
• 1:49:56
  Speaker 4: getting ready for a football game.
• 1:49:58
  Speaker 10: Uh.
• 1:49:59
  Speaker 4: And you had to see and rams players to choose
• 1:50:02
  Speaker 4: from getting ready for your pickup football game. And you're like, man,
• 1:50:06
  Speaker 4: I have to pick a receiver out of this and
• 1:50:10
  Speaker 4: JSN and Puka Nakua are both standing there. Who are
• 1:50:14
  Speaker 4: you making sure you get on your team?
• 1:50:16
  Speaker 10: Out of those two, I would get It'd be close,
• 1:50:20
  Speaker 10: but I get Nikua. Oh, you know, I think I
• 1:50:22
  Speaker 10: think he's shown that that he's had a special year,
• 1:50:27
  Speaker 10: and he does a They have him do a lot
• 1:50:29
  Speaker 10: of different things, and that's taking not taking a single
• 1:50:34
  Speaker 10: thing away from n Jigmac because I think I think
• 1:50:37
  Speaker 10: he's special. But I'd go with the bigger receiver.
• 1:50:41
  Speaker 4: Wouldn't Buddy Ryan be the last person you would want
• 1:50:43
  Speaker 4: to play a pickup game though, in the backyard with.
• 1:50:46
  Speaker 10: Yeah, I didn't trust Buddy when he was coaching. I
• 1:50:49
  Speaker 10: would not, absolutely not trust him in the backyard.
• 1:50:54
  Speaker 4: That'd be the cheatingest son of a gun in the
• 1:50:56
  Speaker 4: history of backyard.
• 1:50:58
  Speaker 1: Football right there. All right, So how are you feeling?
• 1:51:02
  Speaker 4: I mean, here, we are a little over forty eight
• 1:51:04
  Speaker 4: hours from the NFC Conference Championship game.
• 1:51:08
  Speaker 1: You got the juice going? Just yet?
• 1:51:10
  Speaker 6: Or when that?
• 1:51:10
  Speaker 1: When's that going to kick in gear for Mike home run?
• 1:51:13
  Speaker 10: Well, I'm kind of like Mike McDonald. I can't peak
• 1:51:17
  Speaker 10: too early. I don't want to peak too early. So
• 1:51:20
  Speaker 10: I'll kind of gradually get into it, and then as
• 1:51:23
  Speaker 10: we approach, you know, I'm gonna go to church on
• 1:51:26
  Speaker 10: Sunday and then the games at three, and so I
• 1:51:30
  Speaker 10: can I can pace myself.
• 1:51:32
  Speaker 6: You know.
• 1:51:32
  Speaker 10: But then when I when I sit down there and
• 1:51:34
  Speaker 10: it starts, I'll be ready to go. So it's it'll
• 1:51:37
  Speaker 10: be I'm so excited about this game because they the
• 1:51:41
  Speaker 10: two best teams are playing and they've had great years,
• 1:51:45
  Speaker 10: and they have the offense versus defense, the coaches are
• 1:51:50
  Speaker 10: you know, it's really really quite a matchup, and so
• 1:51:53
  Speaker 10: I'm excited to see it and and hopefully we talk
• 1:51:58
  Speaker 10: about a win on Monday.
• 1:51:59
  Speaker 4: Well, I'm guessing you feel good about the Seahawks chances?
• 1:52:03
  Speaker 10: How good I do?
• 1:52:05
  Speaker 6: I do?
• 1:52:05
  Speaker 10: Well? I feel good about it. I think I of
• 1:52:10
  Speaker 10: course I was wrong last week against the forty nine ers,
• 1:52:12
  Speaker 10: but I believe this will be a close ballgame, and
• 1:52:17
  Speaker 10: you know, the team that makes the same thing that
• 1:52:20
  Speaker 10: always determines the outcome of a game. I think will
• 1:52:23
  Speaker 10: determine this one. That's you know, crazy mistakes. But I
• 1:52:27
  Speaker 10: think watch special teams because specially, I know we returned,
• 1:52:31
  Speaker 10: you know, she returned that punt and got them going
• 1:52:34
  Speaker 10: the last game. But you know, the Rams, if they
• 1:52:38
  Speaker 10: have a weak spot, in my opinion, it's their special teams.
• 1:52:41
  Speaker 10: I think they're very average. And so I'm going to
• 1:52:45
  Speaker 10: be watching that carefully.
• 1:52:46
  Speaker 1: Is it a Swedish meatball Sunday slider Sunday? What are
• 1:52:49
  Speaker 1: we doing?
• 1:52:51
  Speaker 10: Well? I said, I'm pacing myself and I haven't decided yet.
• 1:52:54
  Speaker 10: I'm torn. I'm hoping I get a package of some
• 1:52:58
  Speaker 10: dip from someone I'm a friend of mine outside my
• 1:53:03
  Speaker 10: front door. Perhaps you know, we'll see.
• 1:53:06
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that'd be great, Roan, send a drone over there
• 1:53:11
  Speaker 4: he lives, and then yeah, yeah, I don't know.
• 1:53:13
  Speaker 1: If you want that.
• 1:53:15
  Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean, but then you know he might want
• 1:53:17
  Speaker 10: to come in and watch the game with me, and
• 1:53:19
  Speaker 10: I can't. We can't know, I'm sorry, we can't do that.
• 1:53:22
  Speaker 5: Okay, yeah, but you can trick or treat it his
• 1:53:24
  Speaker 5: house next Halloween.
• 1:53:25
  Speaker 1: Okay, he loves that.
• 1:53:26
  Speaker 5: Yeah, he loves it.
• 1:53:28
  Speaker 1: All right, coach, enjoy. We'll talk to you on Monday.
