• 1:50
  Speaker 6: For goodness sake, we have got the normal Monday fanfare
• 1:55
  Speaker 6: scheduled for you today, but I would imagine ratchet it
• 1:58
  Speaker 6: up a little bit of a notch. I would imagine
• 2:00
  Speaker 6: Hugh Millen, who's usually revving at about an eleven on
• 2:04
  Speaker 6: a scale from one to ten, it's he going to
• 2:06

• 2:18
  Speaker 6: today's schedule of events, coming up with what's on tap
• 2:22
  Speaker 6: here in a little bit. But we welcome you to
• 2:25
  Speaker 6: the radio program. I have a feeling that people in
• 2:29
  Speaker 6: town are in a pretty good mood here for a Monday.
• 2:31
  Speaker 7: I would imagine you have a much better game. I mean,
• 2:37
  Speaker 7: you play a division foe and just absolutely beat them down.
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 2:42
  Speaker 7: I think a lot of people were about as happy
• 2:43
  Speaker 7: as you could possibly be coming walking out of that
• 2:46
  Speaker 7: stadium or sitting at home. I know my buddy Kyle
• 2:49
  Speaker 7: came over and watched the game and he was quite thrilled.
• 2:52
  Speaker 6: Is that right?
• 2:53
  Speaker 7: And then I'm still kind of in recovery mode because
• 2:55
  Speaker 7: that night ended up going until about four am.
• 2:58
  Speaker 5: Oh is that right?
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: That was all had two wins to celebrate.
• 3:02
  Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, and then some round So yeah, it was
• 3:05
  Speaker 7: just all the way around, it was.
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: It was great.
• 3:07
  Speaker 7: I mean, if you're a Seahawk fan there, I mean,
• 3:09
  Speaker 7: I think it's been kind of building towards a moment
• 3:12
  Speaker 7: of feeling like you might have the most the best
• 3:14
  Speaker 7: team in the NFL playoffs. Well, after this last week,
• 3:18
  Speaker 7: it doesn't feel like there's really much of a debate.
• 3:20
  Speaker 7: You still got to go out and do it. You're
• 3:22
  Speaker 7: still there are two wins to get to hoist that trophy.
• 3:24
  Speaker 7: But yeah, there was There's no no ifens or butts.
• 3:27
  Speaker 7: If there is a team that is the team to beat,
• 3:30
  Speaker 7: it's a Seattle Sea.
• 3:31
  Speaker 6: I can't imagine. I mean, yeah, you're right, you still
• 3:33
  Speaker 6: got to win two games and it's not going to
• 3:36
  Speaker 6: be easy. On Sunday. I don't feel nearly as confident
• 3:39
  Speaker 6: about a blowout, that's for sure, as I did going
• 3:42
  Speaker 6: into this past week. But I will say that certainly,
• 3:48
  Speaker 6: if there's any football fan that's paid attention at all
• 3:52
  Speaker 6: to this season and then to this weekend, uh, that's
• 3:55
  Speaker 6: not from LA or New England or Denver. They're waking
• 4:02
  Speaker 6: up this morning saying that's the best team in the
• 4:05
  Speaker 6: National Football League. Actually, there's no way to not say
• 4:08
  Speaker 6: that based on what you saw over the weekend San Francisco,
• 4:12
  Speaker 6: trying to prove that, Oh man, we'll never get dominated
• 4:15
  Speaker 6: like that again like we did in week number eighteen.
• 4:18
  Speaker 6: I mean, every game's new. There's no way we'll get
• 4:21
  Speaker 6: dominated like that. You're right, you got dominated even more.
• 4:24
  Speaker 8: Yeah, it was even worse start to finish, literally start
• 4:28
  Speaker 8: to finish, And just from that kickoff and the electricity
• 4:32
  Speaker 8: in there and just it it reminded me that sorry,
• 4:36
  Speaker 8: Bucky plug yours. It reminded me of the Super Bowl
• 4:39
  Speaker 8: against the Broncos, the way that we just came out
• 4:41
  Speaker 8: and it was I mean there they stood no chance,
• 4:45
  Speaker 8: stood no chance.
• 4:46
  Speaker 6: Yeah, Yeah, that's that's certainly how it felt throughout the
• 4:49
  Speaker 6: course of the game. And I think like the tone
• 4:51
  Speaker 6: setting moments for each phase. I mean, the fans set
• 4:55
  Speaker 6: the tone obviously with the crowd and the energy. It
• 5:01
  Speaker 6: was the first thing that Mike McDonald pointed out in
• 5:04
  Speaker 6: his press conference before he said anything about his own
• 5:07
  Speaker 6: team's terrific play. He mentioned it was an atmosphere like
• 5:11
  Speaker 6: none other that he had ever experienced. So you set
• 5:14
  Speaker 6: the tone from that standpoint. Then you set the tone
• 5:17
  Speaker 6: special teams wise and just energy wise. When sh he
• 5:21
  Speaker 6: takes the first kick and returns it for ninety five
• 5:24
  Speaker 6: yards in a touchdown. Then the defense gets out on
• 5:28
  Speaker 6: the football field, and you know, we spent a lot
• 5:30
  Speaker 6: of the week talking about how you know, there's no
• 5:33
  Speaker 6: way you're going to make Rock Purty, Kyle Shannan and
• 5:35
  Speaker 6: Christian McCaffrey look as bad as what you did the
• 5:38
  Speaker 6: previous time that you played. And yet very first play,
• 5:42
  Speaker 6: DeMarcus Lawrence smacks Purty right in the face. Set the
• 5:47
  Speaker 6: tone defensively. He nearly fumbled on that very first, very
• 5:51
  Speaker 6: first snap, He nearly fumbles on it, and it sets
• 5:55
  Speaker 6: the tone for thirteen pressures on Rock Purty. What was
• 5:59
  Speaker 6: the stat that that he backpedaled for like five hundred
• 6:03
  Speaker 6: yards or total total? Mount Like, yeah, they counted his
• 6:07
  Speaker 6: steps and he had ran round the field for like
• 6:09
  Speaker 6: five hundred yards in the game, just trying to avoid
• 6:12
  Speaker 6: seahawk pressure throughout the course of the contest, and even
• 6:16
  Speaker 6: offensively when you got the ball and you ended up
• 6:19
  Speaker 6: with just three, but you came out there, you know
• 6:23
  Speaker 6: there was a balanced attack. I think it was six
• 6:26
  Speaker 6: runs to four passes. You moved the ball down the field.
• 6:29
  Speaker 6: You didn't end up scoring a touchdown on that, but
• 6:32
  Speaker 6: you certainly set the tone with how you wanted to
• 6:34
  Speaker 6: play offensively, how Sam was going to operate, despite the
• 6:38
  Speaker 6: oblique that running the football was going to be central
• 6:42
  Speaker 6: to the game plan. And you came away with points
• 6:45
  Speaker 6: and then the next thing you know, you're up ten
• 6:47
  Speaker 6: to nothing. Two plays later, you get the forced fumble.
• 6:50
  Speaker 6: Jones pops it loose from Pungas you get the ball back,
• 6:55
  Speaker 6: and the route is on. At that point, like you
• 6:57
  Speaker 6: have set the tone in all three phases of the
• 7:00
  Speaker 6: game in front of your raucous home crowd that wants
• 7:04
  Speaker 6: to like eat the heart out of every forty nine
• 7:06
  Speaker 6: er fan they come across. And from that point forward, Bucky,
• 7:09
  Speaker 6: the route was just on.
• 7:11
  Speaker 7: Yeah, and you kind of felt like, okay, the well
• 7:14
  Speaker 7: I mean, I'm when I'm sitting watching it, it felt
• 7:16
  Speaker 7: like earlier than just about any game you've watched, probably
• 7:20
  Speaker 7: a lot like the Super Bowl, although even the Super Bowl,
• 7:23
  Speaker 7: I remember thinking, okay, halftime, if you come out and
• 7:26
  Speaker 7: you know, just totally flip the script, maybe something crazy
• 7:30
  Speaker 7: could happen, and then boom, the Percy Harvin you know
• 7:33
  Speaker 7: return happened, and immediately, just so for the entire second half,
• 7:37
  Speaker 7: you're like, well, this is just absolute garbage this game.
• 7:40
  Speaker 7: I don't know for sure if I felt that I
• 7:43
  Speaker 7: have ever felt like a game was going to go
• 7:45
  Speaker 7: in that direction sooner. And it wasn't just it was
• 7:48
  Speaker 7: the kickoff, but that so that that's set the tone.
• 7:51
  Speaker 7: And then, like you said, the way in which that
• 7:53
  Speaker 7: first series happened, where it was right in brock Perty's face,
• 7:57
  Speaker 7: but then to force them the turnover on down, then
• 8:00
  Speaker 7: you get down there and yeah, you only score a
• 8:02
  Speaker 7: field goal, but you still get points. Then the fumble,
• 8:05
  Speaker 7: it felt like right there at the fumble, like, uh oh,
• 8:07
  Speaker 7: if you.
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: Let him score here, it's over.
• 8:10
  Speaker 7: And sure enough they went down there quick and in
• 8:12
  Speaker 7: a hurry, got that second touchdown, and then you're just like,
• 8:14
  Speaker 7: this is it just they didn't let up either. It
• 8:17
  Speaker 7: just kind of kept doing the same thing. It was
• 8:19
  Speaker 7: a It was a masterclass in how you put somebody down,
• 8:23
  Speaker 7: especially a division rival.
• 8:24
  Speaker 6: Yet on that touchdown drive, I mean, Donald got crushed
• 8:28
  Speaker 6: by Mustafa and we went in like we we set that.
• 8:33
  Speaker 6: Everybody knew that we were gonna like, get up Sam
• 8:35
  Speaker 6: that yeah, you were gonna be you were gonna wonder
• 8:39
  Speaker 6: every weird hit, every weird angled throw that is Sam
• 8:45
  Speaker 6: gonna aggravate anything. And he gets crushed and it looked
• 8:48
  Speaker 6: like he was in a lot of pain. And you,
• 8:50
  Speaker 6: I mean it had to cross your mind. Ye i'n
• 8:53
  Speaker 6: put words or thoughts and anybody said, but when Mustafa
• 8:56
  Speaker 6: hit him on that ten yard sack after getting the
• 8:59
  Speaker 6: ball back on the fune, well you had to think, tos,
• 9:01
  Speaker 6: oh gosh, did we just lose our quarterback? I know
• 9:03
  Speaker 6: I did, yeah. And then he rallies very next throw
• 9:08
  Speaker 6: twenty one yards, zips it to cup and it's like, oh, okay, yeah,
• 9:12
  Speaker 6: he's tough. We don't have to worry about that right now.
• 9:15
  Speaker 6: And then even the touchdown passed the JSN the four
• 9:18
  Speaker 6: yards I mean that is you know, running against your
• 9:21
  Speaker 6: body and throwing from a different angle and just throws
• 9:24
  Speaker 6: an absolute dime in the back of the end zone
• 9:27
  Speaker 6: and at that stage, seventeen to nothing, you know, minute
• 9:32
  Speaker 6: and fifty left in the first quarter, and you've pretty
• 9:35
  Speaker 6: much answered every single thing that we discussed during the
• 9:41
  Speaker 6: course of the week that not only were you going
• 9:44
  Speaker 6: to be better than the forty nine ers at everything
• 9:48
  Speaker 6: Saturday night, you were going to dominate them in every phase.
• 9:51
  Speaker 5: And that's exactly what happened.
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it was.
• 9:53
  Speaker 8: It was really impressive, and I think a lot of
• 9:55
  Speaker 8: people would look at well, I know a lot of
• 9:56
  Speaker 8: people have looked at Sam darnold stat line and said, well,
• 9:59
  Speaker 8: you know only through for one hundred and twenty four years.
• 10:01
  Speaker 6: Well, if anybody does that, they're silly, right.
• 10:03
  Speaker 8: Because but that was I mean, if you were on
• 10:05
  Speaker 8: social media yesterday or after the game, there was a
• 10:08
  Speaker 8: lot oh Sam Donald, Sam Darnald, he.
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: Did what needed to be done.
• 10:11
  Speaker 8: Like that's all that matters, right, You You had a
• 10:14
  Speaker 8: solid run game and a solid defense, so you take
• 10:17
  Speaker 8: what the other team gives you, and they did. They
• 10:19
  Speaker 8: were that was the perfect example. Okay, well we'll just
• 10:22
  Speaker 8: run all over you. That's fine.
• 10:24
  Speaker 6: I mean, boy, and this feels like Mariner season all
• 10:26
  Speaker 6: over again. I mean, if you're just sitting there, just
• 10:28
  Speaker 6: still ripping on Sam Donald, then you just can't admit
• 10:31
  Speaker 6: you're dumb.
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: Well that's probably true too, or wrong.
• 10:34
  Speaker 6: Maybe not dumb, maybe dumb's wrong, wrong, but just wrong.
• 10:37
  Speaker 6: I mean, twelve for seventeen hundred and twenty four yards
• 10:41
  Speaker 6: a touchdown, did not commit a turnover.
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah, which has been things we want.
• 10:44
  Speaker 6: Topic of conversation.
• 10:45
  Speaker 5: I mean, you won by thirty five points.
• 10:48
  Speaker 6: There's no way that Mike McDonald's gonna say, well, we
• 10:51
  Speaker 6: don't want that stat line to look low in the
• 10:53
  Speaker 6: passing yards department for Sam Darnald. No, you're up seventeen
• 10:57
  Speaker 6: to nothing. You're going to do what it takes to
• 11:00
  Speaker 6: win the game and then not put people at risk
• 11:03
  Speaker 6: exactly as much as you possibly can. The rest of
• 11:06
  Speaker 6: the way, Sam Darnold played an excellent game. He got
• 11:09
  Speaker 6: he did exactly what you would want him to do
• 11:12
  Speaker 6: in that situation.
• 11:13
  Speaker 7: Yeah, Saturday, Well, to me, the thing that I think
• 11:16
  Speaker 7: is the most encouraging is that it wasn't like they
• 11:20
  Speaker 7: just said, Okay, we're really scared that you're going to
• 11:23
  Speaker 7: commit a turnover and so we're gonna just Dink and
• 11:25
  Speaker 7: Doune that Jackson Smith and Jigma the one to put
• 11:28
  Speaker 7: him up seventeen zip. Yeah was I mean Jackson Smith
• 11:32
  Speaker 7: and Jigba said afterwards he was surprised he threw it
• 11:34
  Speaker 7: to him because of how well he was covered. I mean,
• 11:37
  Speaker 7: or the guy was following, he was trailing him. There,
• 11:40
  Speaker 7: there wasn't a huge window. He's going across his body,
• 11:43
  Speaker 7: the rusher's coming right in his face. I kind of thought,
• 11:45
  Speaker 7: like the timing of it, he's probably just throw this
• 11:47
  Speaker 7: thing out of the back of the end zone and
• 11:49
  Speaker 7: instead he shoots a dart in the back of the
• 11:52
  Speaker 7: end zone across his body. That's one of those Okay,
• 11:55
  Speaker 7: we need you to at times stuff it in the
• 11:57
  Speaker 7: mailbox and make it happen. He did exactly that, but
• 12:01
  Speaker 7: he didn't do anything risky because he does understand he's
• 12:04
  Speaker 7: not making rookie mistakes usually where he's trying to force
• 12:09
  Speaker 7: it into a situation when the scoreboard or the field
• 12:12
  Speaker 7: position dictates that you shouldn't.
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: It was the exact opposite.
• 12:14
  Speaker 7: He did it when he needed to the other times
• 12:16
  Speaker 7: he didn't, or he just handed the ball off. And basically,
• 12:19
  Speaker 7: when you're dominating in all phases. Just manage the game
• 12:22
  Speaker 7: and then make the plays every once in a while
• 12:24
  Speaker 7: that you have to make.
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: That's exactly what it called for. And he answered the
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: bell if you if people.
• 12:27
  Speaker 7: Want to still go down that path, they are they're
• 12:30
  Speaker 7: just haters and they just they're not going to admit
• 12:32
  Speaker 7: that they're wrong.
• 12:33
  Speaker 6: Yeah, exactly. And and so I mean that's the way
• 12:36
  Speaker 6: you wanted to unfold. Yeah, you want to be able
• 12:38
  Speaker 6: to run the ball so effectively that you don't even
• 12:42
  Speaker 6: put the ball, it's.
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: Just a bonus whatever. Yeah, whatever Donald's doing.
• 12:46
  Speaker 6: Put put the ball in harm's way. Plus he had
• 12:49
  Speaker 6: an injury.
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: Coming exactly, So that's what you're trying to keep him healthy.
• 12:51
  Speaker 6: Which was no secret to anyone. And so Sam Darnold's
• 12:55
  Speaker 6: out there, I mean they he didn't look affected by it,
• 12:58
  Speaker 6: but certainly it was part of the game plan. If
• 13:02
  Speaker 6: we can get through this game, will a win and
• 13:04
  Speaker 6: not and try to put Sam at as little risk
• 13:07
  Speaker 6: as possible. That's ideal for us. And I mean it
• 13:11
  Speaker 6: was an ideal performance under the circumstances for Sam Darnold
• 13:16
  Speaker 6: and the Seahawks offense. So yeah, not really anything that
• 13:20
  Speaker 6: went wrong. I mean, I guess it did get I mean,
• 13:23
  Speaker 6: you did give rise to the thought that, man, sometimes
• 13:28
  Speaker 6: adrenaline is a wonderful thing in sports. But as Tom
• 13:34
  Speaker 6: Brady I thought rightfully pointed out when San Francisco kicked
• 13:38
  Speaker 6: the two field goals and made it seventeen to six,
• 13:41
  Speaker 6: and he said, man, if you can.
• 13:43
  Speaker 5: Get into the locker room.
• 13:46
  Speaker 6: At seventeen to six when you have taken the greatest
• 13:49
  Speaker 6: punch that you can take from another team, I mean
• 13:52
  Speaker 6: that first quarter, the kick return and the swarming defense,
• 13:56
  Speaker 6: and the offense was not performing at a record pace
• 14:02
  Speaker 6: but was doing the job, and you were running the football.
• 14:05
  Speaker 6: And Tom Brady pointed out, man, if you I mean,
• 14:07
  Speaker 6: that's that's as great a punch as you can take.
• 14:10
  Speaker 6: And if you can get up off the canvas and
• 14:13
  Speaker 6: then you can get to your corner for the standing
• 14:15
  Speaker 6: eight count at halftime and you've got a little bit
• 14:18
  Speaker 6: of momentum, you put points on the board, and you
• 14:21
  Speaker 6: can keep this at seventeen to six, you know, make
• 14:25
  Speaker 6: a couple of adjustments at halftime, and who knows what happens.
• 14:27
  Speaker 6: And I think Kyle Shannan was thinking that way as well.
• 14:30
  Speaker 6: But then when the Seahawks got the ball back and
• 14:33
  Speaker 6: went into two minute drill mode and scored that touchdown.
• 14:37
  Speaker 6: I mean even Shanahan admitted like that was pretty much it. Yeah,
• 14:41
  Speaker 6: that they even the forty nine ers knew like there
• 14:44
  Speaker 6: was a shot. Maybe we had a shot, you know,
• 14:48
  Speaker 6: we could just get to the halftime seventeen to six
• 14:51
  Speaker 6: without giving them the momentum. But when they scored that
• 14:54
  Speaker 6: touchdown at the end of second half, I think even
• 14:57
  Speaker 6: the forty nine ers will put the white.
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you're probably right.
• 15:01
  Speaker 7: I mean, watching it home, it felt like the dominant
• 15:04
  Speaker 7: dominant started right off the kickoff. But I think, yeah,
• 15:06
  Speaker 7: they're probably if there really was a time when it ended,
• 15:10
  Speaker 7: when it might have felt like you broke their will.
• 15:12
  Speaker 7: It probably is that little order of events because they
• 15:15
  Speaker 7: they'd kicked the finally got on the board, and yet
• 15:18
  Speaker 7: seventeen three you're like nothing that next drive, they were
• 15:21
  Speaker 7: moving the ball until that time out, and then you're like, Okay,
• 15:25
  Speaker 7: if they scored a touchdown there it's seventeen to ten,
• 15:27
  Speaker 7: you do now have yourself a ballgame.
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 15:30
  Speaker 7: And yet for the fact they scored, they held them
• 15:33
  Speaker 7: to that field goal, and then the Seahawks just drove
• 15:37
  Speaker 7: down the field, Like you said in that two minut
• 15:38
  Speaker 7: offense and made it twenty four to six. That's probably
• 15:41
  Speaker 7: when the teams actually recognized that, Okay, we were putting
• 15:44
  Speaker 7: a whooping on these guys and the other and they
• 15:46
  Speaker 7: were like, can you please stop whooping us?
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: And I was like, please continue to whip them.
• 15:50
  Speaker 5: Don't stop whooping.
• 15:52
  Speaker 6: No, don't show away, won't say ah, man want an
• 15:57
  Speaker 6: impressive performance. Forty one to six. I mean you referenced
• 16:02
  Speaker 6: buckets hated Super Bowl. You won by as much thirty
• 16:05
  Speaker 6: five points? Is that game?
• 16:07
  Speaker 9: Yeah?
• 16:07
  Speaker 8: You know, but that's honestly how it felt, kind of
• 16:10
  Speaker 8: like just like they didn't have a chance.
• 16:12
  Speaker 5: Thirty five points.
• 16:13
  Speaker 6: That mean that tied the franchise record for largest deficits.
• 16:17
  Speaker 6: So the Seahawks certainly dominate things on Saturday night. Forty
• 16:22
  Speaker 6: one to six is the final score, and they are
• 16:25
  Speaker 6: moving on to the NFC Conference Championship game, where they
• 16:28
  Speaker 6: will take on the Rams, who did pull it out
• 16:31
  Speaker 6: last night in frigid Chicago twenty to seventeen in overtime.
• 16:37
  Speaker 6: Crazy game. There just crazy that, Caleb Williams, I mean
• 16:41
  Speaker 6: you just thought, ah, the Bears are beaten, which I
• 16:44
  Speaker 6: felt for like their last twenty two games in a row. Yeah,
• 16:47
  Speaker 6: and somehow they figure out a way to get the
• 16:50
  Speaker 6: ball back, tie the game up, send it overtime. You
• 16:52
  Speaker 6: were sure at that stage they had all the momentum,
• 16:55
  Speaker 6: they got home field advantage, they got the ball in
• 16:57
  Speaker 6: their hands, and then DJ Moore for whatever reason, stopped
• 17:00
  Speaker 6: running his route and Cam curl. How many great defensive interceptions?
• 17:06
  Speaker 6: How many great interceptions were there over the weekend?
• 17:08
  Speaker 10: A lot?
• 17:09
  Speaker 7: Unreal, Yeah, going after it and making those diving plays
• 17:13
  Speaker 7: where there was I mean, typically you see those guys
• 17:15
  Speaker 7: clank it. You know, that's why they're DB's or if
• 17:18
  Speaker 7: that's what people say is because they can't catch. Well,
• 17:20
  Speaker 7: you don't tell a few of them that this weekend,
• 17:22
  Speaker 7: because they made some unbelievable and at the most crucial
• 17:25
  Speaker 7: times when your team needs I mean, the Broncos had one,
• 17:28
  Speaker 7: and that one's going to be fun to debate, but
• 17:30
  Speaker 7: that there's that one, like the most crucial times when
• 17:34
  Speaker 7: your team absolutely needed it in overtime, unbelievable.
• 17:37
  Speaker 8: And that Crow one too the way that I mean
• 17:38
  Speaker 8: because when he went to the ground, he didn't really
• 17:41
  Speaker 8: have the control of it, and then he you know,
• 17:43
  Speaker 8: had the wherewithal to still grab it and hold on
• 17:46
  Speaker 8: to it and I was.
• 17:46
  Speaker 6: Like, man, well to get to his back so they
• 17:48
  Speaker 6: didn't touch the ground. I mean, it was phenomenal. Yeah,
• 17:51
  Speaker 6: you know, wide receiver makes that play and it's.
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: It's it's number one on sports sets, number one for.
• 17:57
  Speaker 5: A defensive back to make that play.
• 17:59
  Speaker 6: In the ice and snow who read the route better
• 18:02
  Speaker 6: than the receiver? Yeah, the number one receiver on the
• 18:05
  Speaker 6: Bears team. Unbelievable. That got the Carlton Davis from the
• 18:09
  Speaker 6: Patriots making that catch up with gotten a knee down.
• 18:13
  Speaker 6: It was Yeah, it was quite the showcase of defensive
• 18:16
  Speaker 6: backs making picks over the weekend.
• 18:19
  Speaker 10: UH.
• 18:19
  Speaker 6: And we'll try to talk about as much of it
• 18:20
  Speaker 6: as we possibly can. Let's find out what is on
• 18:23
  Speaker 6: tap for the rest of the show. What's on tip?
• 18:29
  Speaker 4: What's untip?
• 18:30
  Speaker 6: Got that dirty Panero? By the way, that sliding kick?
• 18:34
  Speaker 6: Oh yeah, dirty?
• 18:37
  Speaker 5: Yeah?
• 18:37
  Speaker 6: What the hell do you think's going on out there?
• 18:39
  Speaker 10: Yeah?
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: I don't know what was happening there, dirty Panero?
• 18:42
  Speaker 7: The fifteen yards that he's there, everybody that cheers for
• 18:45
  Speaker 7: San Frans wishing he was better at slide tackling.
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: That's true.
• 18:50
  Speaker 10: Uh.
• 18:50
  Speaker 6: Seahawks win at forty one to six. Over the forty
• 18:52
  Speaker 6: nine ers. We will celebrate it with Monday Morning Quarterbacks
• 18:56
  Speaker 6: seven oh five. Greg Bell will be joining US Hugh
• 18:58
  Speaker 6: Millon from eight to ten today and Mike Holmgren will
• 19:01
  Speaker 6: join Hugh and us from nine to ten to discuss
• 19:05
  Speaker 6: not just the win, but also what's next. As we'll
• 19:08
  Speaker 6: dive right in to the NFC Conference Championship matchup. Zach
• 19:13
  Speaker 6: Charboney left with a knee injury. Charles Cross left with
• 19:16
  Speaker 6: an injury as well during Saturday night's game, but it
• 19:20
  Speaker 6: sounds like good reports on both of them that Cross
• 19:23
  Speaker 6: was taken out just because it was a blowout and
• 19:25
  Speaker 6: more of a precaution, and Sharbonay, who looked like his
• 19:29
  Speaker 6: season was over. It looked like one of those kind
• 19:31
  Speaker 6: of injuries, and yet they were saying afterwards no structural damage.
• 19:36
  Speaker 6: So Zach Sharbonay, who knows, might be ready to go
• 19:40
  Speaker 6: Sunday against the Rams. We'll ask Greg Bell about that
• 19:43
  Speaker 6: coming up at seven to five. That will be the
• 19:47
  Speaker 6: three to three or three point thirty matchup. On Sunday,
• 19:50
  Speaker 6: Seahawks will host LA for the NFC Championship. Twenty to seventeen.
• 19:55
  Speaker 6: The final Rams over the Bears in overtime. New England
• 19:57
  Speaker 6: beat Houston twenty eight to sixteen on a day that
• 20:01
  Speaker 6: not only were the Texans eliminated from the playoffs, they
• 20:04
  Speaker 6: have to spend a lot of time wondering do we
• 20:07
  Speaker 6: have the right quarterback in our organization. We'll talk about
• 20:11
  Speaker 6: that with cold Turkey Sandwich coming up at six thirty.
• 20:15
  Speaker 6: The Bills ousted again prematurely in the NFL playoffs. They
• 20:19
  Speaker 6: lose thirty three to thirty in overtime to the Denver Broncos.
• 20:23
  Speaker 6: All sorts of things to discuss from that game, and then,
• 20:26
  Speaker 6: of course, the shocking announcement shortly thereafter. I thought it
• 20:31
  Speaker 6: was a hoax. I thought it was like Adam Schefter's
• 20:33
  Speaker 6: fake count bo Nicks out for the rest of the playoffs.
• 20:38
  Speaker 6: He broke his ankle late in that contest, finished the
• 20:41
  Speaker 6: game with a broken ankle, but is not going to
• 20:44
  Speaker 6: take another snap this year. So it's Jared Stidham who
• 20:47
  Speaker 6: will start the AFC Championship game for the Broncos at
• 20:51
  Speaker 6: home against the Patriots at noon on Sunday. The National
• 20:55
  Speaker 6: Championship of College Football will be played tonight. Indiana and
• 20:59
  Speaker 6: Miami meet, finally bringing this long college football season to
• 21:03
  Speaker 6: an end. They will kick off from Miami at four
• 21:06
  Speaker 6: point thirty this evening. We will discuss it a little
• 21:08
  Speaker 6: bit later on in the show. College Basketball. UDUB was
• 21:11
  Speaker 6: crushed by Michigan State on Saturday, and it doesn't get
• 21:15
  Speaker 6: any easier. This Wednesday, they'll be at Nebraska. Now, if
• 21:19
  Speaker 6: you're thinking to yourself, well, Asherby, at least we're not
• 21:22
  Speaker 6: facing Michigan or Michigan State. No, Nebraska is undefeated, perfect
• 21:26
  Speaker 6: and are probably going to be ranked in the top
• 21:29
  Speaker 6: four heading into that game, as we'll find out the
• 21:33
  Speaker 6: rankings today. So that's the matchup. Next matchup for Danny

  Speaker 6: NBA has a full SLA late today getting started at

  Speaker 4: time for twelve Man News with Greg Bell, brought to

• 27:10
  Speaker 6: Now with Man News, here's Greg Bell with Chuck.
• 27:13
  Speaker 5: And Budd Weve.
• 27:15
  Speaker 6: Good morning, Greg, Good morning.
• 27:18
  Speaker 10: That was a beatdown.
• 27:20
  Speaker 6: How about that? I mean, what on earth did we
• 27:24
  Speaker 6: just watch on Saturday night?
• 27:27
  Speaker 5: Greg?
• 27:29
  Speaker 10: You watched Mike McDonald for one owning Kyle Shanahan. I mean,
• 27:33
  Speaker 10: it's a bonified owned job now for two games in
• 27:35
  Speaker 10: a row. And the Seahawks just have the horses. The
• 27:39
  Speaker 10: forty nine ers don't, obviously, but especially on defense, they're
• 27:43
  Speaker 10: just fastly superior. We talked the beginning of the season
• 27:48
  Speaker 10: sucked when they hired him. They talked to those who
• 27:51
  Speaker 10: hired him, said that Mike McDonald was here for two reasons,
• 27:54
  Speaker 10: one to beat Kyle Shanahan and one to beat Sam
• 27:58
  Speaker 10: mcgrag And he beat sound out coached and beat Kyle
• 28:03
  Speaker 10: Shanahan twice with the season in the Division online. Now
• 28:05
  Speaker 10: he's gonna have to beat Sean mcgay to get to
• 28:07
  Speaker 10: the super Bowl. But they have not played better all
• 28:11
  Speaker 10: year obviously than they're playing right now. No, two games
• 28:15
  Speaker 10: are the same, yes, and that more true again on
• 28:18
  Speaker 10: Sunday Saturday, and it'll be the same on Sunday. We've
• 28:23
  Speaker 10: seen the Rams twice at the Seahawks and the narrow
• 28:25
  Speaker 10: games and wild finishes, and I think it's gonna be
• 28:29
  Speaker 10: close again, obviously, but it'll be different. It'll be different
• 28:33
  Speaker 10: just because Mike McDonald is so good at adjustments. He knows,
• 28:37
  Speaker 10: he's already been in the film that the Rams put
• 28:39
  Speaker 10: forty one and thirty seven points up on him in
• 28:42
  Speaker 10: his team. And that's where they're squarely and today at
• 28:46
  Speaker 10: Seahawks headquarters, j I.
• 28:48
  Speaker 7: Mean, the team played as well as they've played all year.
• 28:51
  Speaker 7: I mean in that game, and hence the reason that
• 28:54
  Speaker 7: you win by thirty five against the Division four. How
• 28:57
  Speaker 7: the run game ken Walker got loose, I mean a
• 29:00
  Speaker 7: lot of the runs. It wasn't like he you know,
• 29:02
  Speaker 7: got to the one hundred and sixteen yards that he
• 29:04
  Speaker 7: accumulated with one or two big runs. It was just
• 29:07
  Speaker 7: every run was a pretty good run. And so is
• 29:11
  Speaker 7: there something going on with that outside zone blocking that
• 29:14
  Speaker 7: he's picked up on or the blockers picking up on
• 29:17
  Speaker 7: or is it just that you were going against a
• 29:20
  Speaker 7: you know, a depleted San Francisco front seven.
• 29:24
  Speaker 10: Well yeah, no Fred Wonder and no Nick Boso to
• 29:27
  Speaker 10: all pros in your front seven, that will change things.
• 29:30
  Speaker 10: But they are doing more outside zone. Starting with the
• 29:33
  Speaker 10: Carolina game, they did more outside zone. They were pro
• 29:37
  Speaker 10: pirie a little bit of run throughout the season, and
• 29:41
  Speaker 10: now they've gone out to the tackles and a lot
• 29:43
  Speaker 10: of stretch plays. The reason that Locker obviously benefited is
• 29:47
  Speaker 10: that Zach Sharbon had got hurt early in the game
• 29:50
  Speaker 10: and so all the substitutions on third down and two
• 29:54
  Speaker 10: minute drill and none of that. Walker got all those
• 29:57
  Speaker 10: carries that he wasn't getting earlier in the year and
• 30:00
  Speaker 10: all those snaps, and so he had he was the
• 30:03
  Speaker 10: lone guy. I mean, Dallas Jones was number three back
• 30:06
  Speaker 10: and they weren't going to trust him until it got
• 30:09
  Speaker 10: to be a blowout. So that's why it worked for Walker.
• 30:13
  Speaker 10: He finally got what he's wanting you and wishing he
• 30:16
  Speaker 10: would have had all season, which is the lead, undisputed
• 30:19
  Speaker 10: number one running back role. And wow for him personally,
• 30:23
  Speaker 10: what timing. He ties the Seahawks record as he and
• 30:27
  Speaker 10: Shawn Alexander from twenty fourteen in green Bay to Ford
• 30:30
  Speaker 10: and green Bay are the only two Seahawk running backs
• 30:33
  Speaker 10: to score three touchdowns in a playoff game. He made
• 30:36
  Speaker 10: money on Sunday night, Saturday night, whether it's from Seattle
• 30:39
  Speaker 10: or anybody else. And it's the first time this year
• 30:42
  Speaker 10: that he had sole possession of a lead role, without
• 30:46
  Speaker 10: any job share at all. And you saw what happened.
• 30:49
  Speaker 10: I mean, when he goes in and his agent go
• 30:52
  Speaker 10: in in the offseason to talk whether the Seahawks want
• 30:55
  Speaker 10: to re up him or not, they'll turn the agent
• 30:57
  Speaker 10: will turn on the tape a Saturday Night's game and say, see,
• 31:00
  Speaker 10: you fairly gave him the lead role.
• 31:01
  Speaker 6: And there is Yeah, if you haven't watched football in
• 31:04
  Speaker 6: a while, even though you're a football fan and you
• 31:06
  Speaker 6: understand the game, but for whatever reason, you were deprived
• 31:08
  Speaker 6: of watching, and this was the first game that you've
• 31:11
  Speaker 6: watched in a few years, you would have swore, when
• 31:14
  Speaker 6: did the Seahawks get the best running back in the
• 31:16
  Speaker 6: National Football league. I mean, that's how good he looked
• 31:19
  Speaker 6: on Saturday night, no question about. I also want to
• 31:22
  Speaker 6: point out somebody else, since we're going to highlight an
• 31:25
  Speaker 6: individual person and we've got other things to get to. Obviously,
• 31:28
  Speaker 6: there's so much to discuss, but the defense and the
• 31:32
  Speaker 6: way that it set the tone. And we always mentioned
• 31:35
  Speaker 6: Leonard Williams, but I don't know if we've ever in
• 31:37
  Speaker 6: our conversations focused enough on him. What kind of leader
• 31:41
  Speaker 6: he is, what kind of just dominant player he is,
• 31:44
  Speaker 6: how he buys into what Mike McDonald, I mean, how
• 31:47
  Speaker 6: he bought in immediately to what Mike McDonald was trying
• 31:50
  Speaker 6: to teach, how he's bought in immediately to thinking how
• 31:54
  Speaker 6: good a job John Schneider has done, how he's thanked
• 31:56
  Speaker 6: them for bringing him to Seattle. Talk about just d
• 32:00
  Speaker 6: Williams and his impact on this team, this roster, this organization.
• 32:04
  Speaker 10: Well he's what Chuck one of the guys who made
• 32:07
  Speaker 10: sure all the veterans came to the voluntary OTA Benni
• 32:12
  Speaker 10: Campson meetings back in April, and periodically Mike McDonald brings
• 32:17
  Speaker 10: up how big of a deal that was. Throughout the season,
• 32:20
  Speaker 10: he says that really laid the groundwork, this brotherhood. Leonard
• 32:25
  Speaker 10: Williams and DeMarcus Lawrence and really everybody, but especially the
• 32:29
  Speaker 10: older veterans talk about Jared Reid. It started there and
• 32:34
  Speaker 10: Williams was the head haunchoss and we're showing up. This
• 32:38
  Speaker 10: is what we're trying to build. And that kind of
• 32:41
  Speaker 10: stuff shows up on the field. This brotherhood shows up.
• 32:43
  Speaker 10: And it's not just this nebulous intangible that makes them
• 32:47
  Speaker 10: happy to go to work and food trucks when they
• 32:50
  Speaker 10: went on Monday and all that. It's more than that.
• 32:53
  Speaker 10: It actually translates to winning on the field. And in
• 32:56
  Speaker 10: Leonard Williams's case, they asked him, I noticed this on
• 33:00
  Speaker 10: the fourth down play in the third court. It was
• 33:03
  Speaker 10: twenty four to six Seahawks. The forty nine Ers had
• 33:06
  Speaker 10: just come out of halftime. They had the ball for
• 33:08
  Speaker 10: the first drive of the second half because they won
• 33:09
  Speaker 10: the coin toss and deferred, and this was their chance
• 33:13
  Speaker 10: to get back in the game. Shanna had had done
• 33:15
  Speaker 10: his halftime adjustments. The Niners were finally moving. They were
• 33:19
  Speaker 10: at the forty four yard line. It's fourth and two,
• 33:23
  Speaker 10: and of course he's going for it, try to get
• 33:24
  Speaker 10: back in the game. But this is their chance to
• 33:26
  Speaker 10: get back in it, and on fourth and two, Leonard
• 33:29
  Speaker 10: Williams took a direct rush route you often see X
• 33:33
  Speaker 10: games acrosses loops, outside spence swim moves. He just went
• 33:38
  Speaker 10: straight like a dog that found meat lying on his
• 33:42
  Speaker 10: doorstep when the door opened, the front door opened in
• 33:44
  Speaker 10: the morning. He went straight for it. And it was
• 33:48
  Speaker 10: really noticeable to me from the press box how direct
• 33:51
  Speaker 10: around it was. Because Purdy is the guy, as we know,
• 33:53
  Speaker 10: who gets outside and escapes, and for him to know
• 33:58
  Speaker 10: that Perdy would be right in the middle of the pocket.
• 34:01
  Speaker 10: I asked him, Leonard Williams after game, why did you
• 34:03
  Speaker 10: do that? You went a direct route as if you
• 34:06
  Speaker 10: knew Perty was going to be standing in the middle
• 34:08
  Speaker 10: of the pocket for you to sack for fourteen yard
• 34:10
  Speaker 10: loss to basically end the game. And he said, you
• 34:13
  Speaker 10: know what, Gray's Abel did that for me. I credit
• 34:16
  Speaker 10: the rookie Gray's Abel for that. He's been talking to
• 34:19
  Speaker 10: me since spring about his Leoner Williams' pass rush moves.
• 34:24
  Speaker 10: And here's a rookie that was at North Dakota State
• 34:27
  Speaker 10: last year who had at the time zero NFL games.
• 34:30
  Speaker 10: He told an eleven year vet a three time pro bowler. Hey,
• 34:34
  Speaker 10: when you're the center slides to you a lot too,
• 34:37
  Speaker 10: because when you run inside pass rush, the center slides
• 34:40
  Speaker 10: to pick you up all the time. And you're running
• 34:43
  Speaker 10: these outside moves and inside moves and slants, and that's
• 34:46
  Speaker 10: given the center time to slide over and pick you up.
• 34:49
  Speaker 10: Go straight upfield like a dead spread, and that center
• 34:52
  Speaker 10: will never catch you. And Williams said that gris Abel
• 34:56
  Speaker 10: and he revisited that at halftime on Saturday night, and
• 34:59
  Speaker 10: so the whole first drive of the second half, Williams
• 35:02
  Speaker 10: was just b line, straight rushing, drop your shoulder and
• 35:05
  Speaker 10: go straight past the guard, and he did that on
• 35:08
  Speaker 10: the fourth down. There aren't a lot of teams. There
• 35:11
  Speaker 10: aren't a lot of guys. Grey's Abel, a rookie on
• 35:15
  Speaker 10: an offensive line, would tell an eleven year vet on
• 35:17
  Speaker 10: a defensive line what to do in pass rush and
• 35:20
  Speaker 10: then remind them of it during the game of the
• 35:22
  Speaker 10: playoff game. That's how close they are. That greys Abel
• 35:27
  Speaker 10: found Leonard Williams approachable, and Leonard Williams found Graysabel with
• 35:31
  Speaker 10: somebody he should listen to at twenty three years old.
• 35:34
  Speaker 10: So that's an example of his brotherhood. I wrote about
• 35:37
  Speaker 10: it yesterday the News Tribune because when he said that,
• 35:40
  Speaker 10: I went to, Haha, that's my lead to my follow story.
• 35:43
  Speaker 10: But it's an example of how it's not just this
• 35:47
  Speaker 10: touchy feely we love everybody Kumbayai brotherhood. It actually translates
• 35:51
  Speaker 10: on the field to wins. And now they've won fifteen
• 35:53
  Speaker 10: of them.
• 35:54
  Speaker 7: Yeah, they're playing well, and it seems like they are
• 35:57
  Speaker 7: all rolling in the same direction, you know, around here,
• 36:01
  Speaker 7: like that last Super Bowl run that in the legion
• 36:04
  Speaker 7: of Boom was basically kind of where it seemed like
• 36:08
  Speaker 7: most of the attention went, and yet they had an
• 36:09
  Speaker 7: amazing kind of rotation of guys up there. Pass rushing,
• 36:14
  Speaker 7: where is the strength or or what is the biggest part. Obviously,
• 36:16
  Speaker 7: you want to be able to do both things. You
• 36:18
  Speaker 7: want to be able to stop the run and get
• 36:19
  Speaker 7: after the passer, but you want to be able to
• 36:21
  Speaker 7: cover and defend and tackle even downfield. When you look
• 36:25
  Speaker 7: at this defense, what's the most outstanding part or is
• 36:27
  Speaker 7: it just the unit in general?
• 36:30
  Speaker 10: Bucky, The biggest thing, and we've talked about many times,
• 36:33
  Speaker 10: is that Seattle pressures and effects of quarterbacks with only
• 36:36
  Speaker 10: four pass rushers allowing him to have seven in coverage,
• 36:39
  Speaker 10: and the math is always in Mike McDonald's favor. Seven
• 36:42
  Speaker 10: against four or five receivers, Seahawks win, and they win
• 36:46
  Speaker 10: because the quarterback doesn't have time to wait for guys
• 36:48
  Speaker 10: to go open. When they have two more defenders, then
• 36:51
  Speaker 10: they have receivers out on routes. That's the simple It's
• 36:54
  Speaker 10: a very simplistic way to describe the Seahawk defense, but
• 36:56
  Speaker 10: that's why they win. He doesn't have to blitz a lot.
• 36:59
  Speaker 10: He told me in the middle of the season. I'm
• 37:01
  Speaker 10: playing the defense a lot differently than I thought I
• 37:03
  Speaker 10: was going to because I don't have to blitz as
• 37:06
  Speaker 10: much he expected to be sending Emn Worriy and Witherspoon
• 37:10
  Speaker 10: quite a bit out of the secondary on Blitzer's to
• 37:12
  Speaker 10: get pass rush to get the results he's gotten, And
• 37:15
  Speaker 10: that would have been five defenders to cover pass receivers.
• 37:20
  Speaker 10: But now he's got seven, and he's got the two
• 37:22
  Speaker 10: guys he would have been blitzing as his best cover guys,
• 37:25
  Speaker 10: even Worry and Witherspoon, and oh, by the way, Rick
• 37:29
  Speaker 10: Willens playing really well, and Julian Lovesman Pro Bowl safety,
• 37:33
  Speaker 10: and Kobe Bryant is now back, and the guy that
• 37:35
  Speaker 10: came in for Kobe Bryant, Tito Cotta, has excelled. And oh,
• 37:38
  Speaker 10: by the way, when they guys do catch passes against
• 37:41
  Speaker 10: their defense, they go straight to the ground immediately. It
• 37:44
  Speaker 10: happened again the other night. The whole reason they beat
• 37:47
  Speaker 10: San Francisco and did not hold him to did not
• 37:50
  Speaker 10: allow him a touchdown in two games was that when
• 37:53
  Speaker 10: Christian McCaffrey and all those guys, but mainly McCaffrey, caught passes,
• 37:56
  Speaker 10: he went straight to the ground and it was no
• 37:59
  Speaker 10: yards after catches. This San Francisco team was one of
• 38:02
  Speaker 10: the most in the league yards after catches and they
• 38:06
  Speaker 10: had almost zero again on Saturday night. Kyle Shanahan has
• 38:10
  Speaker 10: been the coach for San Francisco for nine years. Since
• 38:15
  Speaker 10: twenty seventeen, he's four times in nine years the forty
• 38:20
  Speaker 10: nine Ers have scored seven or fewer points in a game.
• 38:23
  Speaker 10: Two of those four times have happened in the last
• 38:25
  Speaker 10: fourteen days. By Mike McDonald and the Seahawks over nine years.
• 38:31
  Speaker 10: The defense being able to rush for and still stop
• 38:34
  Speaker 10: the run. We've talked about Byron Murphy stopping and he
• 38:36
  Speaker 10: was brilliant again Saturday night doing the same thing doing
• 38:39
  Speaker 10: his turkeys, get up kettlebell, move off the ground with
• 38:42
  Speaker 10: one knee and just refusing to be blocked inside. When
• 38:46
  Speaker 10: you have guys doing those things, you don't have to
• 38:49
  Speaker 10: devote extra players like the rest of the NFL does.
• 38:52
  Speaker 10: Those things get Most teams have to run, blitz or
• 38:55
  Speaker 10: send their outside linebackers or their safeties in the box.
• 38:59
  Speaker 10: They don't do that with five and six defensive backs
• 39:01
  Speaker 10: like McDonald does. But because of Williams and Lawrence and
• 39:06
  Speaker 10: Murphy and what they do up front, he can do
• 39:09
  Speaker 10: anything he wants with the personnel groupings behind him because
• 39:12
  Speaker 10: of how good the front four is. It starts with
• 39:14
  Speaker 10: the run and stopping the run and it'll last too
• 39:16
  Speaker 10: again on Sunday against the Rams and hiring Williams. But man,
• 39:21
  Speaker 10: the math has just been in the favor because the
• 39:23
  Speaker 10: front four dudes are playing like there's a front eight
• 39:25
  Speaker 10: up there.
• 39:26
  Speaker 6: Greg Mell with US Seahawks in Sary, we only got
• 39:28
  Speaker 6: about three minutes that we got a lot of ground
• 39:30
  Speaker 6: to cover. We haven't even talked about Sam Donald. So
• 39:32
  Speaker 6: take us through the evening of Sam Donald injury wise,
• 39:35
  Speaker 6: how he felt going in, how he played, and how
• 39:37
  Speaker 6: he came out of that game.
• 39:39
  Speaker 10: Well, we said on Friday, there's no way he's throwing
• 39:41
  Speaker 10: the ball from Thursday into the game time. That's what happened.
• 39:44
  Speaker 10: And then two hours an hour and a half before
• 39:46
  Speaker 10: the game, the quarterbacks come out and sweats with the
• 39:48
  Speaker 10: receivers that they always do, and Donald wasn't out there.
• 39:52
  Speaker 10: We're all like okay. At the time, though, I wrote,
• 39:56
  Speaker 10: there's one of two things going on here. They either
• 40:00
  Speaker 10: waited to they've already decided already know because he's already
• 40:03
  Speaker 10: tested it, or they are yet to test his oblique
• 40:07
  Speaker 10: and throwing at the last possible moment. And in fact,
• 40:10
  Speaker 10: he was inside at the same time the Locke and
• 40:13
  Speaker 10: Milroe were outside. He was inside throwing in their locker room.
• 40:16
  Speaker 10: Fans haven't been in there, but the locker room at
• 40:18
  Speaker 10: Lumenfield for the Seahawks is like a warehouse. It's gigantic,
• 40:22
  Speaker 10: a really nice warehouse, carpeted and everything, but it's gigantic
• 40:26
  Speaker 10: with high ceilings. You can easily throw passes with twenty
• 40:29
  Speaker 10: yard passes in there easily with the room they have.
• 40:32
  Speaker 10: And that's what he did. So they knew at that
• 40:35
  Speaker 10: time what it was was they didn't want him to
• 40:38
  Speaker 10: come out there in sweats with Locke and Milroe and
• 40:40
  Speaker 10: test his throw for first time forty eight hours since
• 40:42
  Speaker 10: he here felt the injury, and then if he twined
• 40:45
  Speaker 10: and fell something terrible, and the whole world got to
• 40:47
  Speaker 10: see him lainly walk off the field, including the forty nine,
• 40:52
  Speaker 10: And they didn't want it add so they wanted to
• 40:54
  Speaker 10: do it in the privacy of the locker room. So
• 40:55
  Speaker 10: they did. He threw well enough. I didn't confirm it,
• 40:59
  Speaker 10: and teams and players and everybody, it's like this taboo
• 41:02
  Speaker 10: thing to admit. But I'm pretty sure he got an
• 41:05
  Speaker 10: injection and a painkilling injection. And I'm pretty sure because
• 41:09
  Speaker 10: of his because his first pass, first deep passed. I
• 41:13
  Speaker 10: don't know if you remember, there was a steam route
• 41:14
  Speaker 10: Jackson Smith and Jigbo in the first drive of the
• 41:16
  Speaker 10: game was breaking free twenty plus yards down the field
• 41:20
  Speaker 10: behind the defender, and Darnald tried to hit him and
• 41:23
  Speaker 10: the ball looked like a four year old thrown a
• 41:26
  Speaker 10: nerf It rose and then it fell about. It was
• 41:29
  Speaker 10: so far it was behind the defender whose back was
• 41:32
  Speaker 10: to the ball. I mean he missed him by five yards.
• 41:35
  Speaker 10: It was a soft throw that went straight into the ground,
• 41:38
  Speaker 10: and I thought to myself, he can't feel his left side,
• 41:42
  Speaker 10: he can't torque off his throw, and his throws lack everything. Well,
• 41:48
  Speaker 10: that paintell this is me suppositioning, which is dangerous live radio,
• 41:51
  Speaker 10: and that's not what journalistic I.
• 41:53
  Speaker 5: Should be doing.
• 41:54
  Speaker 10: But that throw was so weak and so short that
• 41:57
  Speaker 10: I think he was still feeling the effects of his
• 41:59
  Speaker 10: pregame in Jackson, and it took him a while for
• 42:01
  Speaker 10: that to kick in, as Kyle Shanahan said after the game,
• 42:06
  Speaker 10: and by then, after the immediate effect of it wore off,
• 42:09
  Speaker 10: he could then throw more fluidly, and he looked like
• 42:12
  Speaker 10: he did the rest of the game. The throat, the
• 42:14
  Speaker 10: touchdown paths to Smith and Jigba, you would have never
• 42:17
  Speaker 10: known he was ever hurt. I asked Smith and jigback
• 42:19
  Speaker 10: in the back of the end zone there on the
• 42:21
  Speaker 10: left side, I asked Smith and Jigbab, I mean he
• 42:24
  Speaker 10: zipped that in there? I said, Well, he was surprised,
• 42:26
  Speaker 10: as heard as your quarterback was at the zip on
• 42:28
  Speaker 10: that path. He said, I was surprised, not that he
• 42:31
  Speaker 10: the zip. I was surprised he chose to throw it.
• 42:34
  Speaker 10: I wasn't open, and so I asked Donald. He said, well,
• 42:38
  Speaker 10: I saw the safety was relaxed coming over, and I
• 42:41
  Speaker 10: could tell he couldn't get there if I did throw it.
• 42:43
  Speaker 10: And that's exactly what happened. The flat footed safety couldn't
• 42:45
  Speaker 10: beat the throw. The day Donald showed him as if
• 42:49
  Speaker 10: they didn't, as if they didn't trust him already. He
• 42:52
  Speaker 10: showed him something he'd first playoff win. What he did
• 42:56
  Speaker 10: to do it. Yeah, the went way up in the
• 43:01
  Speaker 10: locker room with Sam Donald on Saturday night.
• 43:03
  Speaker 6: All right, we only got well actually over but thirty seconds.
• 43:06
  Speaker 6: Charbon ay and Cross, just an update as we sit
• 43:10
  Speaker 6: here on a Monday.
• 43:11
  Speaker 10: Cross seems fine. He was joking in good spirits after
• 43:14
  Speaker 10: the game and said I'm fine. McDonald's labeled it as
• 43:17
  Speaker 10: something of a precaution that they put and didn't put
• 43:19
  Speaker 10: it back and he got hurt at the point of
• 43:20
  Speaker 10: the game that It was about thirty one to six
• 43:22
  Speaker 10: at the time. So it looks like Cross will play.
• 43:25
  Speaker 10: It's a foot issue, not related apparently the other ones.
• 43:29
  Speaker 10: They had him out for three games. Charbonay not quite
• 43:31
  Speaker 10: as conclusive that he's okay. Mcdonald' said initial test star,
• 43:35
  Speaker 10: it doesn't look like anything serious in the knee structurally,
• 43:38
  Speaker 10: which means they did flex tests and whatnot, but they
• 43:41
  Speaker 10: were still going to go get imaging which would confirm that,
• 43:44
  Speaker 10: so still be determined on that. I would guess Sharbony
• 43:47
  Speaker 10: is not going to practice a lot this week. Well,
• 43:50
  Speaker 10: it's interesting to me, guys, is how much is Donald
• 43:52
  Speaker 10: gonna throw this week? Are they going to shut him
• 43:54
  Speaker 10: down and have him just do air reps? Are they
• 43:57
  Speaker 10: going to have him He's going to be able physically
• 43:59
  Speaker 10: to throw during the week. It'll certainly, of course feel
• 44:02
  Speaker 10: better than it did less than forty eight hours playing
• 44:06
  Speaker 10: after he injured it. But that to me is the
• 44:08
  Speaker 10: main health storyline of the week of how much preparation
• 44:11
  Speaker 10: is a quarterback actually going to do?
• 44:12
  Speaker 6: All right, Well, a lot more to discuss, we'll do
• 44:14
  Speaker 6: that tomorrow with you. Thank you, sir. We appreciate it,
• 44:18
  Speaker 6: great stuff as always, and it's gonna be a fun week.
• 44:22
  Speaker 10: It is. Let me remind people listening, this franchise has
• 44:25
  Speaker 10: existed for fifty years. This is only the fourth time
• 44:28
  Speaker 10: in fifty years as has ever happened the Seahawks hosting
• 44:31
  Speaker 10: an NFC championship game is the number one seed, and
• 44:34
  Speaker 10: the previous three times it's happened. They've gone to the
• 44:36
  Speaker 10: Super Bowl. This is the twenty first time division rivals
• 44:39
  Speaker 10: we'll meet for the conference championship. The home team is
• 44:43
  Speaker 10: fifteen and five in those those meetings. The last time
• 44:46
  Speaker 10: a home team lost twenty eleven, when the Packers beat
• 44:48
  Speaker 10: the Bears and Soldier Field to go on to beat
• 44:50

  Speaker 3: Man, It's freaking awesome.
• 45:35
  Speaker 6: Yeah, that's kind of the way I want you to
• 45:36
  Speaker 6: punch it. Yeah, you know what I'm saying, Mike little
• 45:39
  Speaker 6: a little flat, Okaytue, Yeah, a little pitchy at times.
• 45:43
  Speaker 2: There, dog, It's.
• 45:46
  Speaker 6: Chuck Buck and Ashley with you. Monday morning, Quarterback coming
• 45:49
  Speaker 6: your way. At eight o'clock, Hugh Millen and Mike Holmgren
• 45:52
  Speaker 6: to talk Seahawks football.
• 45:53
  Speaker 13: Forty one to six a woman they thought out of chances,
• 46:05
  Speaker 13: they didn't.
• 46:06
  Speaker 6: I think one minute and fifty seconds left in the
• 46:09
  Speaker 6: first quarter that's when I think they didn't. I think
• 46:12
  Speaker 6: even Kyle Shannan was like this team. I would love
• 46:15
  Speaker 6: to know what Shannan whispered in coach McDonald's ear at
• 46:18
  Speaker 6: the end of the game, because it was very complimentary.
• 46:20
  Speaker 6: I can tell you that I think it was you
• 46:22
  Speaker 6: have beaten my ass for two straight games.
• 46:25
  Speaker 5: You are good.
• 46:26
  Speaker 6: I think it was something along those lines, because Kyle
• 46:29
  Speaker 6: Shannon's not used to losing a battle of wits, much
• 46:33
  Speaker 6: less getting stomped out. But that's what's happened last two
• 46:36
  Speaker 6: times these guys have faced. Obviously the forty nine ers
• 46:39
  Speaker 6: a little undermanned, but anybody that thought that this was
• 46:43
  Speaker 6: going to be a different game. It wasn't it was not.
• 46:46
  Speaker 6: It was just as dominant, but this time the final
• 46:49
  Speaker 6: score indicated the dominance forty one to six. The final score.
• 46:54
  Speaker 6: Mike McDonald will never say it out loud, He'll probably
• 46:57
  Speaker 6: wait till the end of the year, but there's no
• 46:59
  Speaker 6: question that he's got his team playing it's best football
• 47:01
  Speaker 6: at the right time of the year.
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: In terms of our team, I mean, that's probably the
• 47:04
  Speaker 1: most complimentary game we've played up to this point. And
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: obviously starting the game out with the kickoff return for
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: a touchdown was tremendous. Again, excited to see the blocks
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: on that play, but a great, great return by Rashid,
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: and then just you know, kept stacking plays, the takeaways
• 47:18
  Speaker 1: on defense, kept playing. You know, quarterback's a hard guy
• 47:22
  Speaker 1: to contain and he makes plays, and so you know,
• 47:24
  Speaker 1: you can't get frustrated.
• 47:25
  Speaker 5: You got to keep playing.
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: And then offensively've been able to control the ball, ball
• 47:28
  Speaker 1: number being in jeopardy, being able to run it, scoring
• 47:31
  Speaker 1: on the redsident, all those things we've been trying to
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: do finally coming to life. And you just keep stacking
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: those things and there's a heck of a win.
• 47:37
  Speaker 10: Man.
• 47:37
  Speaker 1: It's funny in the locker room, it's like, you know,
• 47:39
  Speaker 1: we're really excited, we're very proud of the effort, but
• 47:42
  Speaker 1: the guys understand that there's still a mission at hand
• 47:45
  Speaker 1: and we got another week coming up here that we
• 47:48
  Speaker 1: need to take care of business every day. So that's
• 47:50
  Speaker 1: the focus part of the group. We'll celebrate today, guys
• 47:54
  Speaker 1: will be off tomorrow and back on Monday.
• 47:56
  Speaker 6: That's one thing that the terminology changes over the year.
• 48:00
  Speaker 6: Years and you know the glossary of football terms, but
• 48:04
  Speaker 6: I mean the mindset kind of sounds exactly what Kurt
• 48:07
  Speaker 6: Signetti is saying about Indiana's success. How did you get
• 48:10
  Speaker 6: from ground zero to the best program in college football
• 48:13
  Speaker 6: in two years? Same thing like the stack and the plays,
• 48:17
  Speaker 6: and you don't worry about the last play, whether it
• 48:19
  Speaker 6: was good or bad. The internal eternal focus on the
• 48:24
  Speaker 6: very next play at hand and executing and being your
• 48:26
  Speaker 6: very best. It's the same mentality. And I don't know,
• 48:29
  Speaker 6: I don't think it's a coincidence that right now the
• 48:33
  Speaker 6: two best teams in football college is Indiana and right
• 48:37
  Speaker 6: now in the NFL it's the Seattle Seahawks.
• 48:40
  Speaker 7: Well, the idea, there's nothing new about it is it's
• 48:43
  Speaker 7: the idea of you have to gain the trust of
• 48:46
  Speaker 7: the people you're coaching, and then once you have that,
• 48:50
  Speaker 7: then you have to put together a good process that
• 48:53
  Speaker 7: they are going to trust because the outcomes actually come
• 48:55
  Speaker 7: out of it. I mean, that's just that is just
• 48:58
  Speaker 7: the way in which pretty much everything is right. I mean,
• 49:00
  Speaker 7: you you don't have to worry about the outcome if
• 49:02
  Speaker 7: you actually go through your and do your business the
• 49:05
  Speaker 7: way you're supposed to prepare the right way, get meant,
• 49:07
  Speaker 7: get ready the correct way, and then go out there
• 49:10
  Speaker 7: and let the work actually shine. And I mean yeah,
• 49:13
  Speaker 7: I think you have two coaches that basically have both
• 49:16
  Speaker 7: of their teams bought in one hundred percent to their process,
• 49:20
  Speaker 7: and then you don't have to worry about anything else.
• 49:22
  Speaker 7: You just get to go out there and you know,
• 49:24
  Speaker 7: in football, fly around the field, as they say, confident
• 49:27
  Speaker 7: that you're going to be reacting in the smart way,
• 49:30
  Speaker 7: in the proper way, in the correct way.
• 49:32
  Speaker 2: And if you do that, then you're going to come
• 49:34
  Speaker 2: out on top.
• 49:34
  Speaker 7: If if you are, then man for man, you're as
• 49:37
  Speaker 7: good as the other team, but your process is better,
• 49:40
  Speaker 7: you're going to win. I mean it just makes sense
• 49:42
  Speaker 7: to me, and I think that the leadership of the
• 49:44
  Speaker 7: both coaches you're talking about are on full display right now.
• 49:47
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 49:47
  Speaker 8: I mean we talked about how the chess match or
• 49:50
  Speaker 8: what we thought we you know, what we expected I
• 49:52
  Speaker 8: guess of the chess match, and Mike McDonald went in
• 49:55
  Speaker 8: and was like, checkmate, yeah right away.
• 49:57
  Speaker 5: Yeah, right away.
• 49:58
  Speaker 6: To Bucky's point, I think it's a a point. Coaches
• 50:00
  Speaker 6: have always tried to teach that one play at a time,
• 50:04
  Speaker 6: but it was kind of a throwaway cliche. I think
• 50:07
  Speaker 6: it goes back to something Mike McDonald told us in
• 50:09
  Speaker 6: our interview with him last week, and it was we're
• 50:13
  Speaker 6: not a results oriented business. In other words, like that's
• 50:19
  Speaker 6: not how he put it, but he's like, we want
• 50:22
  Speaker 6: we don't just reward results, We reward the execute. If
• 50:26
  Speaker 6: we don't get the result we want, we're not going
• 50:29
  Speaker 6: to blame the player. And I think that is one
• 50:32
  Speaker 6: of the changes from the old school coach, because the
• 50:35
  Speaker 6: old school coach would say take it a play at
• 50:36
  Speaker 6: a time, and if you screwed up, he'd yell at you.
• 50:39
  Speaker 6: But I think Signetti and McDonald do it a little differently.
• 50:42
  Speaker 6: Right now, as long as you ran the play the
• 50:46
  Speaker 6: way you were supposed to and through where you were
• 50:48
  Speaker 6: supposed to, and maybe you weren't as accurate, or maybe
• 50:52
  Speaker 6: your timing was off a little bit, but as long
• 50:54
  Speaker 6: as you were where you needed to be, we're gonna
• 50:58
  Speaker 6: reward that. We're not only gonna not discipline it, We're
• 51:01
  Speaker 6: going to reward it because that's what we want to
• 51:04
  Speaker 6: establish here.
• 51:05
  Speaker 5: And I think that might be the difference, you.
• 51:07
  Speaker 6: Know, modern modern coaching, modern philosophy of not necessarily just
• 51:13
  Speaker 6: thinking about the result, but whether or not we executed
• 51:17
  Speaker 6: the play the way we intended to and then moved
• 51:20
  Speaker 6: on to the next one. It seems a little bit different.
• 51:23
  Speaker 6: Sam Darnold obviously a huge story all the time, but
• 51:27
  Speaker 6: at the end of last week the injury popped up.
• 51:30
  Speaker 6: Uh and then of course he did play played well,
• 51:34
  Speaker 6: got the win, and coach McDonald was asked afterwards when
• 51:38
  Speaker 6: he knew Sam was going to play well.
• 51:41
  Speaker 1: I mean, from what we told you is how it
• 51:43
  Speaker 1: was going down, is this, You know, there's a hey,
• 51:46
  Speaker 1: he could come out here and throw it and feel
• 51:48
  Speaker 1: terrible and then we would have to kind of pivot.
• 51:50
  Speaker 1: But from what he was saying and what the guys
• 51:53
  Speaker 1: are saying, you know, the medical medical team was saying
• 51:55
  Speaker 1: it seemed like he was gonna be able to give
• 51:56
  Speaker 1: it a go. So that's basically what happened. You know,
• 52:00
  Speaker 1: felt you felt like he was based on his communication
• 52:04
  Speaker 1: with us, It felt like he was confident. So that's
• 52:06
  Speaker 1: that's where we're at.
• 52:07
  Speaker 5: What'd you think about the way he played.
• 52:09
  Speaker 1: Tremendous tremendous a couple of couple of plays early that
• 52:12
  Speaker 1: I think to get in the swing of things. But
• 52:15
  Speaker 1: I say, manage the game as like a very high
• 52:18
  Speaker 1: powered compliment, you know, just throwing it on time, taking
• 52:21
  Speaker 1: care of the ball, making the plays when we need to.
• 52:25
  Speaker 1: I think, I think there's gonna be some more there's
• 52:26
  Speaker 1: some explosives out there that maybe we could get to.
• 52:28
  Speaker 1: But shoot, I thought there's a lot of operation stuff
• 52:33
  Speaker 1: that he did that was that really helped us as well.
• 52:35
  Speaker 6: Yeah, the stat line isn't gonna blow anyone away. Nobody's
• 52:40
  Speaker 6: gonna look at this game fifty years from now and
• 52:42
  Speaker 6: circle that stat say, well, there you go, there's the
• 52:45
  Speaker 6: reason why they won that game forty one to six.
• 52:48
  Speaker 6: That said, I mean, I gave him an a plus
• 52:51
  Speaker 6: for the way he played on Saturday night. I don't
• 52:54
  Speaker 6: care if he didn't put up the stats. He did
• 52:55
  Speaker 6: exactly what they needed him to do for sure, and
• 52:58
  Speaker 6: I think even to a degree what they wanted him
• 53:00
  Speaker 6: to do. You know, based on the situation dealing with
• 53:04
  Speaker 6: the entry. If we can establish the run, we're going
• 53:06
  Speaker 6: to ride the running game as long as we can.
• 53:09
  Speaker 6: And obviously you need to compliment that. So if that's
• 53:13
  Speaker 6: game managing, and we want to look at that as
• 53:15
  Speaker 6: an insult Bucky. In today's world, nobody wants to be
• 53:18
  Speaker 6: labeled as a game manager, well that's as well as
• 53:21
  Speaker 6: you can manage a game. As far as I'm concerned,
• 53:24
  Speaker 6: I thought he was extraordinary. Never put the ball at risk.
• 53:26
  Speaker 6: It felt maybe I'm missing a player too. No turnovers
• 53:30
  Speaker 6: in the contest, playing hurt and yet never showing it
• 53:33
  Speaker 6: at any time, got hit hard a couple of times,
• 53:36
  Speaker 6: got right back up. I'd give him an a plus
• 53:38
  Speaker 6: for Saturday, even though he only had one hundred and
• 53:40
  Speaker 6: twenty four passing yards.
• 53:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 53:41
  Speaker 7: I don't think that stats matter. That scoreboard is what matters.
• 53:46
  Speaker 7: How you get to the scoreboard is the most important thing.
• 53:49
  Speaker 7: So it's if if Sam Darnold was needed to make
• 53:52
  Speaker 7: a throw here and there, he did. There was third
• 53:55
  Speaker 7: down conversions. He did it, Bobo, He just yeah, they
• 53:58
  Speaker 7: just didn't have to do it very I mean really,
• 54:01
  Speaker 7: it took him thirteen seconds into the game before they
• 54:04
  Speaker 7: had outscored.
• 54:04
  Speaker 2: What the Niners were gonna do?
• 54:06
  Speaker 7: So the next fifty nine minutes and forty seven seconds,
• 54:10
  Speaker 7: manage the game.
• 54:11
  Speaker 2: Just manage the game. Just don't screw it up.
• 54:14
  Speaker 7: And yet he didn't know that, none of them knew
• 54:17
  Speaker 7: that until it became abundantly clear that, Okay, we don't
• 54:22
  Speaker 7: have to throw a ball once in the fourth quarter,
• 54:24
  Speaker 7: So we don't need you to do anything. We just
• 54:26
  Speaker 7: need you to play the game the way that the
• 54:29
  Speaker 7: process has set up. And right now it was once
• 54:33
  Speaker 7: you broke their will, they were gonna be able to
• 54:35
  Speaker 7: run on them. Sam just you know, obviously, handle the
• 54:38
  Speaker 7: snap and handle the handoff.
• 54:39
  Speaker 2: Is all that needed to be done.
• 54:41
  Speaker 7: I would you have been worried if if the game
• 54:43
  Speaker 7: would have been more in question for another quarter or
• 54:46
  Speaker 7: a quarter and a half, I wouldn't have been because
• 54:48
  Speaker 7: Sam Donald didn't look like he was incapable of fitting
• 54:51
  Speaker 7: in the tight windows.
• 54:52
  Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, whats going? As you said that, it just
• 54:54
  Speaker 6: jogged something. I knew that he came out of the
• 54:56
  Speaker 6: game with thirteen minutes to go, so he didn't play
• 55:00
  Speaker 6: the last thirteen.
• 55:00
  Speaker 5: Minutes of the game. That's ideal.
• 55:03
  Speaker 6: Yeah, take your quarterback out in the playoff game because you're.
• 55:05
  Speaker 5: Up so much.
• 55:06
  Speaker 8: I mean, I wanted him to not have to plan
• 55:07
  Speaker 8: for the first quarter when we were up seventy to nothing.
• 55:10
  Speaker 3: That was a close second.
• 55:11
  Speaker 6: But his last throw was with three minutes left in
• 55:14
  Speaker 6: the third quarter. That was his last throw. Yeah, yeah,
• 55:18
  Speaker 6: I'll take that game.
• 55:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah, game please.
• 55:20
  Speaker 6: We'll talk to Hugh Milling about it at eight o'clock.
• 55:22
  Speaker 6: Coming up next, though, there's another big event, another game
• 55:26
  Speaker 6: that we have to watch tonight, the National Championship game.
• 55:29
  Speaker 5: So a little bit on that before we.
• 55:31
  Speaker 6: Return our focus entirely to the Seahawks. Well you're from
• 55:35
  Speaker 6: Rick new Eisl next on KJAR.

  Speaker 11: Smith and Jacob.
• 56:13
  Speaker 6: Fox on the call. KB That was Tom laughing in
• 56:17
  Speaker 6: the background. Sam Donald with the touchdown pass to JSN.
• 56:21
  Speaker 6: Good morning, it is a Monday morning Quarterback Playoff edition
• 56:25
  Speaker 6: right here at Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM.
• 56:28
  Speaker 6: We're going on the conference championship game and we're going
• 56:31
  Speaker 6: there with these feed up on the desk. I guess
• 56:34
  Speaker 6: a forty one six blowout went over the San Francisco
• 56:38
  Speaker 6: forty nine ers on Saturday night. Got just the man
• 56:41
  Speaker 6: to break it down for you. It's our QB one,
• 56:43
  Speaker 6: Hugh Millan. What do you think of our quarterback play
• 56:46
  Speaker 6: on Saturday night?
• 56:48
  Speaker 9: Well, I think that he did everything that he should
• 56:52
  Speaker 9: have done, needed to do given the nature of the game.
• 56:56
  Speaker 9: I mean, it was seventeen to nothing late in the
• 56:58
  Speaker 9: first quarter after he throws that touch down to in Jigba, right,
• 57:01
  Speaker 9: and given the state of Seattle's defense, like that game
• 57:05
  Speaker 9: was over. So congratulations Twelves. He went to a thirteen
• 57:07
  Speaker 9: minute game, right, you know? And I say a tongue
• 57:11
  Speaker 9: of cheek because the Twelves were freaking awesome. But you know,
• 57:16
  Speaker 9: you know, you start with the look he gets a
• 57:18
  Speaker 9: double stick quick. There was no receiver more than five
• 57:22
  Speaker 9: yards on the first play of the game. He goes
• 57:25
  Speaker 9: to checkdown. Then the next play balls on the right,
• 57:29
  Speaker 9: hash safety is pushing to the trips to Darnold's left.
• 57:33
  Speaker 9: So you like that that match up, that one on
• 57:36
  Speaker 9: one matchup with Jigma to the right. You remember he
• 57:39
  Speaker 9: dirts the ball going up the field. I understand why
• 57:43
  Speaker 9: he did it because the corner kind of like was
• 57:46
  Speaker 9: in press coverage. He kind of threw in Jigba out
• 57:49
  Speaker 9: to try and play the inside. He would have been
• 57:52
  Speaker 9: deadly vulnerable to any kind of corner route or outbreaking route,
• 57:55
  Speaker 9: but he kind of played an inbreaking route because he
• 57:58
  Speaker 9: didn't have the free safety help. Anyways, the last thing
• 58:00
  Speaker 9: a quarterback can do before you know, like if you
• 58:04
  Speaker 9: just went broke time down in a fraction the neurologically,
• 58:09
  Speaker 9: the last thing you can do if you don't like
• 58:12
  Speaker 9: the play is tell yourself to dirt the ball. And
• 58:15
  Speaker 9: I'm pretty sure that's what he did to get that incompletion.
• 58:18
  Speaker 9: Then then you know, I'm speaking right now in granular
• 58:23
  Speaker 9: terms because of how I felt and maybe others felt
• 58:28
  Speaker 9: about his health. So the balls on the right hash,
• 58:30
  Speaker 9: I felt good when he threw the out route, the
• 58:33
  Speaker 9: five yard out route to Cup because I say, okay,
• 58:36
  Speaker 9: he smoked that pretty good. But then when I really
• 58:38
  Speaker 9: felt good, he takes the sack on the boot on
• 58:40
  Speaker 9: the second series balls on the right hash second and
• 58:44
  Speaker 9: twenty cover too beautiful design play because he got Jackson
• 58:48
  Speaker 9: Smith and Jig. But in the backfield he comes out hooks.
• 58:51
  Speaker 9: He's gonna hold that corner because he's number eleven. The
• 58:54
  Speaker 9: scouting importance says, hey, number eleven, number eleven, Number eleven
• 58:58
  Speaker 9: holds a corner just enough and darn just with without hesitation,
• 59:02
  Speaker 9: just smokes that ball to the far sideline to pick
• 59:04
  Speaker 9: up the first down on second and twenty. And that's
• 59:07
  Speaker 9: when I bet a lot of people said that, Okay,
• 59:11
  Speaker 9: his oblique is fine for today. I mean, he had
• 59:14
  Speaker 9: the slant route on the on third and ten late
• 59:20
  Speaker 9: in the second quarter, the one to Bobo to Bobo,
• 59:23
  Speaker 9: Yeah you get, you get sixteen yards. I thought that
• 59:27
  Speaker 9: was more difficult when I watched it on tape from
• 59:30
  Speaker 9: the end zone copy. It actually was kind of a layup.
• 59:33
  Speaker 9: But but that was an important play. You know, he
• 59:36
  Speaker 9: throws an out route to Cup to the left. You know,
• 59:39
  Speaker 9: the first quarters five for seven, he's got a he's
• 59:42
  Speaker 9: got one hundred and twenty passer rating, So you're up
• 59:45
  Speaker 9: seventeen to nothing. Your quarterback has one hundred twenty passer
• 59:48
  Speaker 9: rating and the two incompletions are the one I said
• 59:51
  Speaker 9: he dirted. And then this is part of quarterbacking two,
• 59:55
  Speaker 9: particularly playoffootball. How many interceptions did you see this weekend?
• 59:59
  Speaker 9: We saw lot of interception. What I'm about to say
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 9: is part of quarterbacking two. They had a very cool
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 9: concept where it's shotgun. You got Canine on the right side.
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 9: He's gonna come across and he's gonna and we've seen
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 9: this around the NFL a little bit where routs are
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 9: emanating through the offensive line. Canine's gonna go through the
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 9: B gap between the tackle and the guard, and then
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 9: he's gonna run a wheel route. Now they got the
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 9: coverage they want, but they elect to do it off
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 9: of what's called power pass. So they got Zabel polland
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 9: left to right to get the end. That just doesn't work.
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 9: The end blows that up, and then the center Sindel
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 9: because the left guard is vacating. That leaves a hole
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 9: there in the B gap to Sundale's left, and so
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 9: now all of a sudden, Darnold has two guys in
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 9: his face, even though he had to have loved the
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 9: matchup Canine. It was gonna be a touchdown. He could
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 9: have been tempted to try and lob it over, maybe
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 9: a safety comes over and makes the play, but he
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 9: just dirts it and had to kill him to dirt
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 9: it because because he had everything he wanted from a
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 9: coverage standpoint. But that's part of quarterbacking, right is sometimes
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 9: the right play is to dirt it because it's the
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 9: only play because it was just it was a nice idea.
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 9: Let's go, let's how are we gonna protect this? We
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 9: like this idea, but let's go power pass uh and
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 9: and and and stuff Canine through that B gap. We'll
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 9: pull Zabel like it looks good on the whiteboard, it
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 9: looked good and practice against scout team, but it didn't
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 9: look good on Saturday night and he didn't make anything over.
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 9: So that's your two incompletions on in the first quarter.
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 9: And you know, for all intenses and purposes of the
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 9: game's over. Now, there was a couple that were missed.
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 9: You're probably asking miss two to uh she heed up
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 9: the field. Third and two could have gone to the
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 9: flat to Cooper, Cup could have gone the over route
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 9: intermediate over oute to JSN. He elects. He elects to
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 9: strike up the band and try and get a big
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 9: play down the field. On third and two, the safety
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 9: had vacated the middle of the field on the crossing
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 9: route to help on the crossing with JSN. When the
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 9: safety vacates the middle of the field, now you say,
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 9: wait a minute, as this is a quarterback's mindset. I've
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 9: got Shaheed who runs a four to two you know,
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 9: not really, but you know four to three. Yes, Uh,
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 9: if he runs a post to the middle of the field,
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 9: we've got something. Well, Shaheed, he he starts to go
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 9: like a post, like he's gonna cross the defender's face,
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 9: but then he goes vertical. So it's a long foul
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 9: ball in fair territory because of the middle of the field.
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 9: But but they're just not on the same page. This
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 9: is again the product h Shaheed was acquired on November fourth.
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 9: They're still not on the page. They haven't hit that
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 9: big ball down the sideline and so that would be
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 9: an area where and then another one. I know, up,
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 9: we're up against you here. But but uh, the Seahawks
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 9: they had to have practiced it against cover two This
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 9: was a cover two beater. They get covers two D
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 9: five hunder zone in this case Tampa, which means the
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 9: middle linebacker's a little deeper put JSN in the backfield.
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 2: On the right.
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 9: He's the halfback on the right. He's gonna go and
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 9: he's gonna again hold the attention of the corner route
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 9: uh in the flat. We call that a chief route,
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 9: which is a word conjunction check inside flat. So so hey,
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 9: he's gonna run this little chief route. He's gonna hold
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 9: the curl defender and the flat defender because he's Jackson
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 9: Smith and Jigba. He's number eleven right his first team
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 9: off ro You're good, that's what you use.
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 2: Decoy.
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 9: Now you're gonna have a tight split by by Rashid
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 9: Shahed and he's gonna be close to the ball. He's
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 9: gonna inside release against that corner and then he's gonna
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 9: break into into a window that that is between the
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 9: middle linebacker and the curl defender. There's a there's a
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 9: window there and and our quarterback Donald rips that thing
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 9: because he's expecting Shaheed to sprint through that hole because
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 9: that's where the hole is. But Shaheed, he is he
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 9: is iyeling down like's it is his own coverage. He's eyeling.
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 9: He opens up his hips as if to say, hey,
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 9: I'm slowing down. But you only do that when you
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 9: slow down in that window. But in this case, he
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 9: needed to get to the next window, and and Donald's
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 9: expecting him to sprint through that next window. So it's
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 9: off the fingertips to Shaheed, a chance for a big play.
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 9: And you're probably thinking, oh, that's a bad throw. No,
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 9: it's it's it's it's they're not on the same page.
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 9: He Donald threw it exactly where his brain intended to
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 9: throw precisely. He just thought that Shahed was gonna sprint through,
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 9: not try and idle down. Shaheed was was doing a
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 9: zone concept idea, but he was idling down right in
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 9: front of the curl defender, like, no, don't do that.
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 9: So when we talk about a jsn as having this
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 9: incredibly high IQ, well that's in relation to other NFL receivers.
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 9: You have to to I have an idea of a
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 9: straight line in the sidewalk, you have to have an
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 9: idea of a cricket line in the sidewalk right like that.
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 9: It's it's all relative. So Jackson Smith and Jigba is
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 9: brilliant by wide receiver standards in the NFL because he
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 9: doesn't do that stuff. He knows when to idle, idle
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 9: in the correct window, he knows when to accelerate. I
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 9: could show you a tape of five hundred damn plays
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 9: where I would that would would would would back up
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 9: that contention. So there's a few things they missed, But
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 9: you're talking about twelve to seventeen, one hundred and eleven
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 9: yard one hundred and eleven passer rating. You did what
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 9: you needed to do. I mean, we're apparently we're Georgia
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 9: Tech now, which is fine because if we can run
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 9: like that and control the game, I don't care if
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 9: they throw it seven times, right, you know, it's just
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 9: it's beautiful football. But I think those are some of
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 9: the details. You saw a few breakdowns, and in my estimation,
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 9: that's how that's the source of.
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 5: Some of it.

• 1:07:55
  Speaker 12: That was Excuse me, that was unbelievable. I've got stop
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 12: predicting the outcome of games. I have to stop. Because
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 12: I thought that was gonna be a hard fought, close game.
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 12: I thought the Seahawks would win. I was okay with that,
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 12: but it was not a close game at all. I mean,
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 12: they dominated like I haven't seen them dominate in a while.
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 12: And no, hats off to Mike McDonald and the team
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 12: and and now we now we take the next step
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 12: towards the Super Bowl. But you know what, I think
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 12: they're gonna They're gonna get there. They are gonna get there,
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 12: and I think they're gonna win.
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 9: Mike, what jumped out at you the most from what
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 9: you saw?
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 5: I thought.
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 12: I thought the defensive pressure on on Purty. I thought
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 12: they went in saying we have to do this. Having
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 12: said that, you know, I not having Kittle. The injury
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 12: thing with the forty nine ers is real, and they've
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 12: been able to overcome it this season, but they couldn't
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 12: against the Seahawks.
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 5: They could not.
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 12: The thing that jumped out of me, Hugh, was how
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 12: much pressure front four, just with four guys could disrupt
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 12: and put pressure on party four guys. If you can
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 12: do that, if a team can do that, and then
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 12: they have the other seven guys really athletic, physical guys,
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 12: not all linebackers, mostly defensive backs, but kind of the
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 12: defensive back linebacker combination body you can then you get
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 12: to fool round with all those guys back there. It's
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 12: tough to run an offense against a group like that.
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 6: Thirteen pressures in the game. I don't know if you
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 6: saw the stat but they said that they did like
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 6: steps purty steps, and that he ran backwards forward, sideways
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 6: for like five hundred yards.
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it's in the game.
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 6: On Saturday night, just running away from pressure.
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 5: The entire game they put they put a lot of
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 5: pressure on him.
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 7: Well, I mean they only got the two sacks with it.
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 7: The amount of pressure that he was under was kind
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 7: of unbelievable. I mean, is that a is that a
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 7: scheme thing that you see Mike McDonald's don or is
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 7: that just the jimmies and jokes. I mean, is that
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 7: the guys that are relentless and getting after the passer
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 7: and putting you know, collapse in the pocket. Or is
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 7: there something that you see that they're doing to be
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 7: able to just send for and at work.
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 5: No, I think it's a combination of things.
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 2: Buck.
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 12: They to be able to do what they do, you
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 12: have to have those athletes, and they have athletes. I mean,
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 12: there's a big you know, reads big and strong, and
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 12: he's kind of the load in there. But the other
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 12: guys can move and they can run those t stunts
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 12: and all that kind of stuff to disrupt and at
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 12: least collapse the pocket and put pressure on the quarterback
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 12: and so then that allows you then to fool around
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 12: with and be creative, and that's what he likes to do,
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 12: and that's what he's good at. One of the things
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 12: he's good at, and so I think it's a combination
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 12: of those things. But the front four they allow him
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 12: to do pretty much whatever he wants behind him.
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 6: Yeah, not to overstat this thing, but last four games,
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 6: not against Seattle, party two hundred and eighty nine passing
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 6: yards per game, thirteen touchdowns against Seattle no touchdowns, two interceptions,
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 6: one hundred and thirty three passing yards per game and
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 6: two games.
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 5: I mean, I don't know what it is.
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 6: Well, for whatever reason, the San Francisco forty nine ers
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 6: offense has done really well down the stretch, even with
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 6: those injuries, except against Seattle.
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 5: Mike McDonald's just got their number. Well.
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 12: The other thing too, And I would say this, I
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 12: think in that game, this one they just finished, I
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 12: think the crowd they say the crowd always helps you.
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 12: In Seattle, that was crazy, nuts loud, Yeah, and so
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 12: that had to have a little bit of an effect
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 12: as well.
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 5: Mike.
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 9: When you're talking about the effect, certainly you've been in
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 9: situations like that. You've been on the road, You've seen
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 9: you standing on those sidelines. The effect that it has
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 9: on the opponents, would you say that it has more
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 9: of an effect on just the communication piece or you
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 9: would you say it falls more into the emotional side,
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 9: and you know, the lift, the adrenaline it gives, the
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 9: defense and the deflating nature. What about that the practicality
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 9: of communication or the emotional stuff.
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 12: I think it starts off with the communication. How many
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 12: times do you see him put his hands over the
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 12: holes in his helmet on the side, or they get
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 12: to the line late, or they're all squeezed in that
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 12: huddle like I've never seen before, And it's because of
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 12: the noise. Now that's and now as the season, as
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 12: the game goes along and you go, you know, the
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 12: opening kickoff, okay, then it's ten, then it's seventeen, then
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 12: it's twenty four, and then all of a sudden, that
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 12: coupled with the noise and the atmosphere, I think it
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 12: had that has a negative effect on the opponent as well.
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 6: When he scoreboard started changing, he was holding his hands
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 6: over his eyes, not just his ears.
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 9: I know, yeah, I thought on that, you know, everybody
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 9: says Seattle, Kansas City. I never played in a rabbit
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 9: environment in Seattle, but but Kansas City when I was
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 9: with the Broncos, LA got hurt. I go in, this
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 9: is December, we're both going for playoffs and what have you.
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 9: And and in that game I was screaming as loud
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 9: as I could in the huddle, and guys would still go,
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 9: what you know, if they weren't within a couple of feet,
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 9: they still were like, what would And then at the line, Mike,
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 9: I was certain that only the center and maybe guards
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 9: could hear me. No way could the tackles hear me?
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 10: Right?
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 9: And I know Seattle gets that way on a on
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 9: a regular basis, So I'm kind of answering my own question.
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 9: The degree to which it makes communication hard just cannot
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 9: be overstated.
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 6: Oh no.
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 12: And then if you're going against a front like Seattle has,
• 1:13:57
  Speaker 12: there's an you know, the whole thing you could one second,
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 12: two set. You're talking about very very quick things happening,
• 1:14:04
  Speaker 12: and the defensive line in that situation has an advantage
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 12: right away because the offense in reacting like your point
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 12: you I mean, you're trying to get the guys to
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 12: get off on time, and it's they're they're always just
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 12: a little tick late. They're just a little tick late,
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 12: and you say, well, what's a big deal. It's just
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 12: a little bit. But you add that with the movement
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 12: and the stuff that they do, it's not a little deal.
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 7: Coach Cooper Cup had a good game. There wasn't a
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 7: lot that was necessary out of the offense. I mean,
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 7: Sam Darnold didn't throw a ball. I don't think at
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 7: all in the in the fourth quarter. I think that
• 1:14:39
  Speaker 7: what Cooper Cup brings to the table seems a bit understated.
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 7: He's not the Cooper Cup that he was when he
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 7: was with the Rams. But what do you see out
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 7: of a guy like that? What does a guy like that,
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 7: a veteran bring to an offense that if they all
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 7: of a sudden try to take away Jackson Smith and Jigle.
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 7: Let's say that a guy like that can bring to
• 1:14:57
  Speaker 7: the table or is a safety valve for his quarterback?
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 12: Well, I think that the first thing is the quarterback
• 1:15:03
  Speaker 12: you know you can count on him. You know you
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 12: can count on him to be at the right spot,
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 12: do the right thing. And so that's that's off the
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 12: table that you know you can do that, and he can,
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 12: and then he blocks. He blocks. Yeah, you know, that's
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 12: understated just a little bit. And he's a wide receiver.
• 1:15:22
  Speaker 12: Not every wide receiver likes to do that, honestly, honestly,
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 12: not every in fact, very few of them really like
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 12: to do that. But he does it, and he does
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 12: it well. And then I think in the meeting room
• 1:15:34
  Speaker 12: and on the practice field and just his leadership, I
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 12: don't think that can be overstated as well. I think
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 12: I really like him as a player obviously, And he said,
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 12: you know, he was the MVP a couple of years ago.
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 5: He's not. You know, he's nearing the end, I guess,
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 5: of his career.
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 12: But he's still a very valuable part of this offense,
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 12: particularly if they decide to spend too much time stopping
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 12: in Enjigma.
• 1:15:59
  Speaker 6: Mike home Grin Hugh Milling with us Monday Morning Quarterback
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 6: continues forty one six. The Seahawks slam the forty nine
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 6: Ers in the Divisional round of the playoffs Saturday night,
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 6: and we're here to celebrate, We're here to rub it
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 6: in their faces right here on Sports Radio ninety three
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 6: point three KHRFM. Let's talk about Sam Darnold. Quarterback play
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 6: as a coach with your expert I I mean, did
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 6: you see that they did anything to protect him or
• 1:16:25
  Speaker 6: that he was trying to protect himself? Did you see
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 6: any of that with the oblique injury on Saturday night?
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 12: Well, I look at the thing as anytime a quarterback
• 1:16:34
  Speaker 12: throws only seventeen passes, that's not a fun game for me.
• 1:16:39
  Speaker 10: You know.
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 6: One SI you're still saying, I'm very happy.
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 12: But you know, I spent a lot of time in
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 12: the quarterbacks and I played quarterback.
• 1:16:48
  Speaker 5: That's not fun.
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 10: You know.
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 12: I'm looking at his numbers and good for him, though,
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 12: I mean the fact that if it bothered me that
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 12: you couldn't tell I can't tail, you know, and then
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 12: he he did. They didn't need him to shoot lights out.
• 1:17:04
  Speaker 12: They didn't need him to throw for two hundred and
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 12: fifty yards, you know. And you know, and looking at
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 12: the whole game, the running game went well, they walk
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 12: around a great game, but the rams, you know, the turnovers,
• 1:17:19
  Speaker 12: the kickoff return, they're not making fourth downs. There are
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 12: about seven plays there, seven or eight plays that allowed
• 1:17:27
  Speaker 12: the Seahawks just to blow them away.
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 10: Mike.
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 9: You know my take on this, I know, I just
• 1:17:33
  Speaker 9: have this sense at the national media, they're gonna look
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 9: at that that one hundred and was it one hundred
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 9: and twenty seven yards? Was that the figure? One hundred
• 1:17:41
  Speaker 9: and twenty four yards? I think as well Sam Darnold,
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 9: and somehow they're going to try and put him in
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 9: some kind of Trent Dilford category. And I would just
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 9: say that as a reminder, for the first fourteen games,
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 9: for every hundred yards that the Seahawks ran for, the
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 9: Seahawks passed for two hundred and fifty two. Now it's
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 9: it's just over the last four games, it's just one
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 9: hundred and ten yards passing for every hundred but the
• 1:18:07
  Speaker 9: fourteen games and then and then and then, uh, this
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 9: stat I think for the entire season, when the Seahawks
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 9: were behind by one score, losing by one or eight
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 9: in the fourth quarter, Sam Darnold had one hundred and
• 1:18:22
  Speaker 9: twenty four passer rating that's third in the NFL, no interceptions.
• 1:18:26
  Speaker 9: And then when you consider that those situations and under
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 9: pressure with the NFL, with with guys in his face,
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 9: he had one hundred and forty three passer rating in
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 9: the fourth quarter, down by one score, uh, and and
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 9: under pressure. So here's a guy that delivered the goods
• 1:18:44
  Speaker 9: for Seattle to have the number one seed so that
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 9: they could have a game like that for their quarterback
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 9: with a hurd obleak and say, hey we got this
• 1:18:53
  Speaker 9: the twelves. Everybody else is gonna carry. We're gonna we
• 1:18:56
  Speaker 9: got this thing the kickoff return and what have you.
• 1:18:59
  Speaker 9: So that's just a thought about Darnold, not really questioning
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 9: in there other than just your comment on on my
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 9: my comment.
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 12: Yeah, No, I think I'm and I've said it from
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 12: the beginning. I'm an I'm a fan of Sam's and
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 12: he's I think I don't know the number, Hugh, you
• 1:19:16
  Speaker 12: knowing the number. I think he's thrown for almost four
• 1:19:18
  Speaker 12: thousand yards this year, yep.
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 5: You know.
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 12: And and so he's the reason. He's the he's one
• 1:19:24
  Speaker 12: of the big reasons there where they are. And I
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 12: don't know anyone can be critical of a quarterback who's
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 12: led the team to this record, you know, because there
• 1:19:35
  Speaker 12: were games where they had to where he had to
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 12: take over the game. There have been games like that.
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 12: He didn't have to do it. He did not have
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 12: to do it Saturday, but he he might have to
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 12: do it a little bit the next week, you know,
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 12: so no, I'm I'm with you.
• 1:19:52
  Speaker 5: He's he's good.
• 1:19:54
  Speaker 7: Yeah, in one game that he's had those four picks
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 7: and you could probably say, well, you lost that one
• 1:19:59
  Speaker 7: for us, But he's got a number one seed. I
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 7: think that he should get a little bit more credit
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 7: than he does. But ken Walker, maybe he won't have
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 7: to carry the team like he has a few to
• 1:20:09
  Speaker 7: some of these victories this season. If ken Walker keeps
• 1:20:12
  Speaker 7: running the way that he did. Is there something about
• 1:20:16
  Speaker 7: the way he ran that made you that it looked
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 7: different or was it just way more openings?
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 12: I think to me he looked like he always does
• 1:20:25
  Speaker 12: to me, you know, sometime. But there were openings there,
• 1:20:28
  Speaker 12: there were big gaps and he found them. But his
• 1:20:32
  Speaker 12: ability to start one way and come back another way,
• 1:20:34
  Speaker 12: that's just how he He likes to do that anyway.
• 1:20:38
  Speaker 12: And then in this running scheme blocking scheme that they have,
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 12: he's the perfect guy for that because he can start
• 1:20:46
  Speaker 12: one way and he likes to go back the other
• 1:20:48
  Speaker 12: way anyway. And it's kind of built that way. And
• 1:20:52
  Speaker 12: so I think his offensive line should get credit, but
• 1:20:54
  Speaker 12: he certainly is and he gets Listen, give him a
• 1:20:59
  Speaker 12: lot of credit too, But they blocked. They did a
• 1:21:02
  Speaker 12: nice job blocking for him.
• 1:21:03
  Speaker 9: On Saturday, mikeh a couple of schematic thoughts from UH
• 1:21:08
  Speaker 9: from the other night and and what's kind of evolved.
• 1:21:11
  Speaker 9: I see Walker is lining up a little bit deeper.
• 1:21:15
  Speaker 9: You know he's at he's at eight yards and some
• 1:21:17
  Speaker 9: of those earlier in the season were at seven. And
• 1:21:21
  Speaker 9: UH they're taking a little bit wider path on their
• 1:21:24
  Speaker 9: wide zone and then on the inside zone.
• 1:21:28
  Speaker 10: UH.
• 1:21:28
  Speaker 9: I would describe it to you as like isolee draw steps,
• 1:21:32
  Speaker 9: you know where he's he's deep, and he starts to
• 1:21:34
  Speaker 9: take a step like he's gonna step to the wide
• 1:21:37
  Speaker 9: But then now that thing is not hitting fast, it's
• 1:21:41
  Speaker 9: hitting deep and almost delayed on the inside zone. And
• 1:21:46
  Speaker 9: it's almost as if they said, okay, let's get it.
• 1:21:49
  Speaker 9: UH canine's hips parallel to the to the line scrimmage
• 1:21:53
  Speaker 9: and then allow him to if he wants to cut back, fine,
• 1:21:57
  Speaker 9: if he wants to bounce, whatever, but but to give
• 1:22:00
  Speaker 9: give him some some options that way, you know the
• 1:22:03
  Speaker 9: details and the refinement that the running game takes. What
• 1:22:07
  Speaker 9: about those changes that we've seen.
• 1:22:10
  Speaker 12: Well, I think it plays beautifully into what he likes
• 1:22:13
  Speaker 12: to do. And they've if in fact, that extra yard
• 1:22:18
  Speaker 12: and the little movement he has on his first step,
• 1:22:22
  Speaker 12: if they figured that out and that's why they moved
• 1:22:24
  Speaker 12: him back, I said, good move. I mean, that's that's
• 1:22:26
  Speaker 12: because he likes to do that. But I think the
• 1:22:30
  Speaker 12: scheme itself really plays into his hand. Having said that,
• 1:22:35
  Speaker 12: you know, if he's going to run right, they're going
• 1:22:37
  Speaker 12: to start right and come back left, or start left
• 1:22:40
  Speaker 12: come back right. The backside linemen have to be doing
• 1:22:44
  Speaker 12: their jobs very well. And so it's a combination of things,
• 1:22:49
  Speaker 12: I think. But I think the system now and what
• 1:22:53
  Speaker 12: you just describe plays into what he is, he likes
• 1:22:57
  Speaker 12: to do, and what he's good at and so and
• 1:23:01
  Speaker 12: then he and then you notice the other thing I
• 1:23:03
  Speaker 12: would just say quickly, he he's tough to tackle. He's
• 1:23:07
  Speaker 12: tough to tackle, and so if one guy usually doesn't
• 1:23:10
  Speaker 12: get him.
• 1:23:10
  Speaker 5: You know.
• 1:23:11
  Speaker 6: So, was it so bad Saturday that you were embarrassed
• 1:23:14
  Speaker 6: to have been a part.
• 1:23:15
  Speaker 5: Of the forty nine ers organization at one point?
• 1:23:17
  Speaker 12: Well, you know, I I tell you, I'll tell you what.
• 1:23:25
  Speaker 5: I'll tell you.
• 1:23:26
  Speaker 12: My first playoff, my first playoff experience with the forty
• 1:23:29
  Speaker 12: nine ers, we went back and played the Giants.
• 1:23:32
  Speaker 5: Huh, and we threw it past the Jerry Rice.
• 1:23:34
  Speaker 12: And and and and he and he ran down there
• 1:23:36
  Speaker 12: and fumbled the ball.
• 1:23:37
  Speaker 5: Well, no one hit him.
• 1:23:38
  Speaker 12: He just dropped the ball in the five five yard
• 1:23:40
  Speaker 12: line and they recovered. And Bill Walsh out in my ear.
• 1:23:43
  Speaker 12: He goes, we just lost the game. I said, And
• 1:23:47
  Speaker 12: I didn't say anything because I'm new. I said, We're
• 1:23:51
  Speaker 12: only a minute into the game. You know, they nipped,
• 1:23:56
  Speaker 12: they nipped, and then Joe Montana got hit knocked out
• 1:23:59
  Speaker 12: in the game.
• 1:24:01
  Speaker 5: They nipped US forty nine to three.
• 1:24:02
  Speaker 12: Oh, so I've had experienced a little bit about it. Yeah,
• 1:24:06
  Speaker 12: and so you kind of had that feeling. Yeah, I'm
• 1:24:09
  Speaker 12: going Saturday night, when was it over. I'm watching the
• 1:24:12
  Speaker 12: game at a halftime. I was debating if I should
• 1:24:15
  Speaker 12: go play pickleballer or do something.
• 1:24:19
  Speaker 9: Yeah, Madio Kyle Shanahan said the same thing after the
• 1:24:23
  Speaker 9: touchdown on the kickoff.
• 1:24:24
  Speaker 6: So yeah, I think President. I think Shannon got caught
• 1:24:28
  Speaker 6: playing pickleball in the third quarter. He just kind of
• 1:24:30
  Speaker 6: tuned out.
• 1:24:31
  Speaker 11: Uh.
• 1:24:31
  Speaker 6: Mike Comrin is here. His portion brought to you by
