1:35
Speaker 2: at the Silver Cloud Hotel, our home away from home,
1:39
Speaker 2: in nestled in our corner and getting ready for the
1:44
Speaker 2: onslaught because right now, I mean, things are a little home,
1:50
Speaker 2: a little tame, but the reinforcements are already here. The
1:55
Speaker 2: rush is coming, and this is this is going to
1:58
Speaker 2: be an all out blitz here today. You're gonna we're
2:00
Speaker 2: gonna have to bring We're gonna have to keep people
2:02
Speaker 2: in coverage here today because this place is gonna get
2:06
Speaker 2: swarmed in about an hour and a half from now.
2:08
Speaker 4: Well, I was surprised just driving down here but one
2:10
Speaker 4: block around T Mobile Park and watching people walk in
2:14
Speaker 4: with their jerseys and carrying flags, and here parade doesn't
2:17
Speaker 4: start for five out. Yeah, maybe they're just coming to
2:21
Speaker 4: see us, Chuck, I think is maybe?
2:22
Speaker 2: What? Yeah?
2:23
Speaker 4: Probably, and they're gonna find out, Oh there's a parade
2:27
Speaker 4: today too, Wow wanna win?
2:30
Speaker 2: Oh well, hmmm, no wonder I had to park fifteen
2:36
Speaker 2: blocks away? Yeah, yeah, but yes, uh, the people are
2:40
Speaker 2: already here. I was surprised to see it as well.
2:42
Speaker 2: I mean, here's a frank confession for you. I mean,
2:44
Speaker 2: I moved here right after the two Super Bowl appearances,
2:48
Speaker 2: like days after the two Super Bowl appearances from the
2:51
Speaker 2: Lob teams. And I've been in this business for thirty
2:54
Speaker 2: five years now. I did National sports radio for a while,
2:58
Speaker 2: but then and then I did Locals Sports and Phoenix
3:01
Speaker 2: for a while, and yes, they won a championship, but
3:05
Speaker 2: I had all in that time in baseball, but I
3:07
Speaker 2: had already moved over to the comedy side of things
3:10
Speaker 2: during that stretch of my career, and then came here.
3:15
Speaker 2: And obviously it's been since those Lob teams that we've
3:19
Speaker 2: had a parade type situation going on here. And so, yeah,
3:23
Speaker 2: the Sounders have won, but nothing this grand, nothing on
3:27
Speaker 2: this scale that we're going to see here today. So
3:30
Speaker 2: thirty five years of doing this as a profession, and
3:34
Speaker 2: I have never been a part of a championship parade
3:38
Speaker 2: until this morning.
3:39
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm with you. Obviously, I haven't done it for
3:42
Speaker 4: as little time as I have waited. Eight nine years now.
3:45
Speaker 4: This is the first and I don't know for sure
3:46
Speaker 4: if it gets much bigger. It would be nice to
3:49
Speaker 4: see what happens if the folks over there win one,
3:51
Speaker 4: what kind of a championship parade. But still the NFL
3:54
Speaker 4: is king, and you know, the Seahawks have been kind
3:57
Speaker 4: of chomptent the bit to get back here. Hence the
3:59
Speaker 4: reason they made all the changes they made with the
4:01
Speaker 4: head coach and your quarterback changes and all this stuff
4:05
Speaker 4: was Yeah, eight and nine, nine and eight, that ain't
4:07
Speaker 4: good enough. We got to get back to being the
4:10
Speaker 4: team that this city fell in love with, which was
4:12
Speaker 4: that legion of boom and even before that Mike Holmgrins
4:15
Speaker 4: team that kind of put them on the map first
4:17
Speaker 4: and foremost. But yeah, this is this is the return
4:20
Speaker 4: to where most Seahawks fans want and expect their team
4:23
Speaker 4: to be, and it culminated with a Lombardi Trophy in today.
4:27
Speaker 4: Starting right out here, this place is going to be
4:29
Speaker 4: an absolute madhouse.
4:30
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's already cooking right now. I mean, I can't
4:33
Speaker 2: even believe how many people are down here, how many
4:35
Speaker 2: cars are down here. And we're still as you mentioned,
4:38
Speaker 2: I mean, we are four hours away from the ceremony
4:42
Speaker 2: over at Looming Field, and then the parade doesn't start
4:45
Speaker 2: until eleven o'clock. But people are getting their position ashually.
4:49
Speaker 2: You were a part of the last Seahawks parade.
4:54
Speaker 1: Correct, Yes, I was there. It was like eighteen degrees. Yeah, Yeah,
4:58
Speaker 1: it was awesome. There was I think like seven hundred
5:01
Speaker 1: and fifty thousand people that showed up.
5:03
Speaker 2: Wow.
5:04
Speaker 1: Marshawn Lynch was drinking fireball and champagne.
5:07
Speaker 4: Throwing skittles at everybody.
5:10
Speaker 1: He did not throw skittles where I was at the parade,
5:12
Speaker 1: but he was drinking. He was riding on the front
5:14
Speaker 1: of the duck for a part of the parade as well,
5:17
Speaker 1: because they did duck.
5:18
Speaker 2: Boats for the last one.
5:18
Speaker 1: I don't know what they're doing, what sort of vehicle
5:21
Speaker 1: for this one, but it was the ride the duck
5:23
Speaker 1: tour boats that they rode on last time.
5:25
Speaker 2: Where were Where were you on the route?
5:29
Speaker 1: I was closer to our station because I walked from here,
5:33
Speaker 1: so and I was trying to think about this actually yesterday,
5:35
Speaker 1: because I have even photos from that. And it was
5:38
Speaker 1: just I went straight up Western and then onto I
5:43
Speaker 1: think we did. I think it was First Avenue that
5:44
Speaker 1: the parade route was on last time, and so I
5:48
Speaker 1: was probably like first and.
5:54
Speaker 2: Stuart maybe, and you arrived on time for it. You
5:57
Speaker 2: got to see everything you needed to see, so you
6:00
Speaker 2: don't need to be here at six am, because I
6:02
Speaker 2: think Bucky and I are both wondering, like, why are
6:05
Speaker 2: you here so early? Is it for the parking well
6:08
Speaker 2: to make sure that they get the parking?
6:09
Speaker 1: I think it's for the parking. Yeah. I also it
6:12
Speaker 1: was a busier drive in today too. I wonder iful
6:14
Speaker 1: a lot of people were coming into work earlier because
6:16
Speaker 1: they didn't want to have to deal with traffic from
6:18
Speaker 1: people coming down.
6:20
Speaker 2: But yeah, it's probably parking.
6:21
Speaker 1: I know that the doors at lumen Field open at
6:24
Speaker 1: eight thirty. Yes, so people may be wanting to get
6:27
Speaker 1: down there early because I don't know if it's assigned
6:30
Speaker 1: seating or if it's just kind I would assume you
6:32
Speaker 1: have to have it. I assume it has to be
6:35
Speaker 1: as signed seating.
6:36
Speaker 2: Chaos without it, well, I think it's gonna be a
6:39
Speaker 2: chaos no matter what. Well, it's just whether or not.
6:42
Speaker 2: Controlled chaos is what they're seeking here the city of Yeah,
6:47
Speaker 2: you're seeking here today. There's no stopping chaos. I mean
6:50
Speaker 2: even Jimmy's. At first, the manager here at Jimmy's is like,
6:55
Speaker 2: it's yeah, it's gonna be crazy, And I said, are
6:57
Speaker 2: you going to have a couple customers today.
7:00
Speaker 4: Yeah.
7:00
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's gonna be a madhouse down here.
7:02
Speaker 4: Yeah. I think the whole city is kind of on
7:04
Speaker 4: alert with it. I've you know, just watching the news,
7:07
Speaker 4: you see a bunch of people are ordering extra stuff
7:09
Speaker 4: because they're imagining today is just gonna be mayhem. I
7:12
Speaker 4: mean that I read something. It was kind of funny
7:14
Speaker 4: Washington State Police put out said don't try to drive downtown.
7:17
Speaker 4: Yes today, I mean it because I mean literally, the parade'
7:20
Speaker 4: is gonna go right through the center of downtown starting
7:22
Speaker 4: here and then going up towards where our studio's at.
7:26
Speaker 4: And there's no parking on the streets during any of
7:28
Speaker 4: that stuff. It's gonna be basically all blocked off for
7:30
Speaker 4: pedestrians because you're gonna have a million plus people in
7:33
Speaker 4: the streets today. And they just said don't try. You
7:37
Speaker 4: can try if you want, but you're gonna basically on
7:39
Speaker 4: your way out, you're gonna be stuck in one way
7:42
Speaker 4: detours and you can find yourself at the end of
7:44
Speaker 4: the whole thing, you know, thinking you got down here early,
7:47
Speaker 4: because you got down here at eight and right all
7:49
Speaker 4: of a sudden, the sun's gonna go down. You're gonna
7:51
Speaker 4: get out and have seen nothing but detour signs.
7:53
Speaker 2: And I have a feeling that people that are listening
7:55
Speaker 2: to us and probably have listened to us before and
7:58
Speaker 2: so probably have a little bit of a clue of
8:00
Speaker 2: how this may or may not work, or are listening
8:03
Speaker 2: now and taking notes and passing it along to you know,
8:07
Speaker 2: cousin Timmy, who's who they've decided to carpool down here.
8:12
Speaker 2: They're they're absorbing this. But trust me, they're gonna be
8:15
Speaker 2: a lot of Seattleites that are gonna get caught off
8:18
Speaker 2: guard by this despite all the coverage that has taken place,
8:22
Speaker 2: and they're gonna be a lot of people swearing the
8:25
Speaker 2: sports world today, Ah what is going on here?
8:28
Speaker 4: That's going on? Calling Martha? But what is going on?
8:32
Speaker 4: Is there something big going on? Is the president in town?
8:34
Speaker 2: I'm just trying to go to work.
8:36
Speaker 4: Yeah, there's stupid sports. Hey, that's one of those if
8:39
Speaker 4: you know, I say it all the time. If you
8:41
Speaker 4: don't like sports, you're weird and I don't like you.
8:43
Speaker 4: And if you've been living under a rock and you
8:44
Speaker 4: didn't know there was a parade today, well.
8:46
Speaker 2: That's a great thing, right now, that's the right, great thing,
8:48
Speaker 2: right now is that we can make fun of those people.
8:50
Speaker 2: We can even call them names. It's like making fun
8:52
Speaker 2: of the Amish. They're not listening, no they yeah, they can't. Yeah,
8:56
Speaker 2: And I got a bone to pick with.
8:57
Speaker 1: The aum radio crank like a radio? Could that work?
9:01
Speaker 2: You're talking about the people who aren't sports fans.
9:05
Speaker 1: Well both actually yeah, a non sports fan and the homage.
9:09
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I will light up the Amish at any
9:11
Speaker 2: given notice. I got a bone to pick with them
9:13
Speaker 2: to begin with. Real. Yeah, And so the fact that
9:16
Speaker 2: they can't hear us, I mean, you know, you make
9:19
Speaker 2: fun of your friends behind their backs. You can really
9:22
Speaker 2: just unleash on the Amish. Take that Amish. Yeah. Yeah.
9:29
Speaker 2: If a tree, if an insult falls in the forest
9:31
Speaker 2: and you're not here to hear it because you don't
9:34
Speaker 2: believe in electricity, what are you gonna do about it?
9:37
Speaker 4: Nothing? I did not see us making fun of the
9:42
Speaker 4: Omis every pread.
9:44
Speaker 2: Yeah, why not. You gotta light that firecraft. You got
9:47
Speaker 2: to get people in the right mood around here. So well, uh,
9:51
Speaker 2: we'll see, we'll see that. Nobody's off the table. I mean,
9:54
Speaker 2: we're champions today. Champions get the mock others. That's what
9:57
Speaker 2: I've come to under Yeah. Yeah, when you're on top,
10:01
Speaker 2: don't you get to make fun of everybody beneath you?
10:03
Speaker 4: You definitely get to look down your nose, right.
10:06
Speaker 2: Yeah, we're talk shows. I mean, we're sort of been
10:10
Speaker 2: We're held responsible for this, so not only is it
10:13
Speaker 2: okay to do it, it's an expectation for us to encourage.
10:17
Speaker 2: And it's interesting because I've gone on the radio as
10:21
Speaker 2: a guest the last couple of days in a couple
10:23
Speaker 2: of different markets and with two of my best friends
10:26
Speaker 2: in the world, Siren Petro, who does radio out of
10:29
Speaker 2: Kansas City, and then last night I went on in
10:32
Speaker 2: Vegas with my friend Steve Cofield, who you guys know
10:35
Speaker 2: we've had on before in the past, and there really
10:39
Speaker 2: was this sense even though these are tremendous friends of mine,
10:43
Speaker 2: but also you know, sports radio people, competitive people, and
10:47
Speaker 2: there really was this sense of sort of tearing apart
10:52
Speaker 2: what the Seahawks have accomplished this. You know, Petro threw
10:57
Speaker 2: at me because he went he's in Kansas City and
11:01
Speaker 2: they've won three of these. And I told you yesterday
11:03
Speaker 2: there was sort of this era of do your guys
11:06
Speaker 2: really think so now you're the latest chumps that think
11:08
Speaker 2: you're gonna go on a dynastic run like we did,
11:11
Speaker 2: Like this is easy, you know that sort of tone.
11:14
Speaker 2: And meanwhile, my friend Steve I went on with him
11:17
Speaker 2: last night and the questions were about losing Kubiak and
11:22
Speaker 2: how devastating that's going to be to the team because
11:25
Speaker 2: they're getting Kubiak in Las Vegas. And my reaction to
11:30
Speaker 2: that was, we don't want to lose Kobiak. I mean,
11:34
Speaker 2: we'd like to keep him. He created the best offense
11:37
Speaker 2: this organization statistically has ever had. And so yeah, he
11:42
Speaker 2: was an asset and he's gonna be missed by a
11:45
Speaker 2: lot of people in that locker room. But you know,
11:49
Speaker 2: coming off a world championship, third youngest team in the
11:52
Speaker 2: National Football League, fourth largest cap space in the NFL,
11:56
Speaker 2: a thirty eight year old head coach who hasn't missed
11:59
Speaker 2: it since coming here, an executive who is on fire
12:03
Speaker 2: right now, a young corps that's just getting better, a
12:09
Speaker 2: financially controllable quarterback who's still in his twenties, and coming
12:13
Speaker 2: off a championship season. Of all the things that we
12:17
Speaker 2: could have lost from this team, we didn't want to
12:22
Speaker 2: lose Kubiak, But I think we're gonna be okay, but
12:26
Speaker 2: they acted as if, oh, well now the devis now
12:29
Speaker 2: the teardown begins. Well, you know, there are other coordinators
12:34
Speaker 2: out there, and I'm not saying he's easily replaceable, but
12:37
Speaker 2: I'd much rather lose a Kubiak than I would a
12:39
Speaker 2: JSN or have to try to solve our quarterback situation,
12:44
Speaker 2: or if Mike McDonald left us. All right, now, ask
12:46
Speaker 2: me how I'm feeling. So, yeah, the teardown has begun
12:50
Speaker 2: in other markets, they don't want to think about the sea.
12:54
Speaker 2: We're gonna be on top of the football world here
12:56
Speaker 2: today in Seattle and every and just know that every
13:00
Speaker 2: other fan base is sitting there telling sharing about how
13:03
Speaker 2: they're gonna fall apart. That's that's the conversation that they're
13:06
Speaker 2: having in every other city.
13:08
Speaker 4: Well, a bit silly to think that there's any sort
13:11
Speaker 4: of tear down. Yeah, there's when you win, you then
13:14
Speaker 4: you had success, and you had success on both sides
13:17
Speaker 4: of the ball, and usually that means that people come
13:18
Speaker 4: and want to poach the guys that got you there. Yeah,
13:21
Speaker 4: that's exactly what happened with Clint Kubiak. I think he
13:24
Speaker 4: is replaceable. I mean that, you know, there's there's the
13:27
Speaker 4: idea of, you know, this year's Detroit Lions after Ben
13:31
Speaker 4: Johnson's gone. I don't know if Klint Kubiak is Ben Johnson.
13:34
Speaker 4: He wasn't heralded the same as Ben Johnson had been
13:37
Speaker 4: prior to him taking the Chicago Bears job. You know,
13:40
Speaker 4: he was kind of looked at as the next McVeigh
13:43
Speaker 4: or Shanahan, like this guy's got the next new wrinkle offensively,
13:47
Speaker 4: and then the Detroit Lions didn't look the same this year.
13:50
Speaker 4: So there's a possibility of it. I don't feel like it.
13:53
Speaker 4: I do feel like if you have a young quarterback
13:57
Speaker 4: or a less expensive quarterback, which Sam Ard is on
14:00
Speaker 4: the less expensive, he's not young, which I think showed
14:03
Speaker 4: up in the Super Bowl. You didn't have the second
14:05
Speaker 4: year guy that looked like the move game was removing
14:07
Speaker 4: real fast. He look like a veteran, but you're not
14:10
Speaker 4: paying him sixty million dollars like Dak Prescott. So the
14:13
Speaker 4: idea of how can you still have this team stacked
14:16
Speaker 4: full of talent, I think it starts and pretty much
14:19
Speaker 4: stops with your young nucleus is still all under contract.
14:23
Speaker 4: I mean, even worry just has become an absolute weapon.
14:26
Speaker 4: In his first year, he hadn't gone anywhere, and you're
14:28
Speaker 4: not having to re up him to any new money.
14:31
Speaker 4: Devin Witherspoon is still in that category. You're gonna have
14:34
Speaker 4: to start thinking about when do you want to lock
14:36
Speaker 4: him up?
14:36
Speaker 2: Although in the first year they are eligible to be
14:39
Speaker 2: locked up, right, and I don't think they're gonna wait
14:42
Speaker 2: very long. Maybe they will, they've got another year to wait,
14:44
Speaker 2: but my guess is that they're going to try to
14:47
Speaker 2: keep those guys.
14:47
Speaker 4: Yeah, one hundred percent. I'm with you, one hundred percent.
14:49
Speaker 2: It feels like the I know they're going to try
14:51
Speaker 2: to keep them, but I mean try to lock them
14:53
Speaker 2: up right sooner than their extension.
14:54
Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly, exactly, sooner than later. They're going to lock
14:57
Speaker 4: up the guys that they need to. But for the
14:58
Speaker 4: most part, it's not like you're like, Wow, yeah, you
15:01
Speaker 4: won a Super Bowl and now what are you gonna do?
15:04
Speaker 4: You have five guys that are core players that are
15:07
Speaker 4: all free agents, and how you can't possibly keep them all?
15:10
Speaker 4: So we would be having that discussion, who are you
15:12
Speaker 4: gonna keep ken Walker? I mean, ken Walker is the
15:15
Speaker 4: one main piece that you're like, he may or may
15:18
Speaker 4: not be here next year. I mean, there's a really
15:20
Speaker 4: good chance that he's not if he goes out and
15:22
Speaker 4: gets better money somewhere else. So other than that, you're like, yeah,
15:25
Speaker 4: kind of running it all back, And it sounds like
15:28
Speaker 4: they're wanting to hire from within so they can keep
15:30
Speaker 4: the continuity of of you know what, whoever's learned under
15:34
Speaker 4: Clint Kubiak. It's just there's gonna be a ripple effect
15:37
Speaker 4: of Clint Kubiak. But I don't think the ripples are
15:39
Speaker 4: gonna extend to where all of a sudden we're looking
15:41
Speaker 4: at Wow. I didn't think we'd have to rebuild after
15:43
Speaker 4: one Super Bowl.
15:44
Speaker 2: Every team faces the ripples in the offseason every champion.
15:48
Speaker 2: It's even harder for a champion. But in terms of
15:51
Speaker 2: most champions and who has to be paid and what
15:54
Speaker 2: has to be paid and you're over the salary usually
15:57
Speaker 2: it's you're over the salary cap, and who were we
16:00
Speaker 2: gonna let go from the championship team. For this team
16:03
Speaker 2: to have kind of shocked the NFL world by getting
16:07
Speaker 2: better all season long, winning the championship and doing it
16:12
Speaker 2: in kind of dominant fashion in two of the three games,
16:16
Speaker 2: certainly dominant fashion and two of the three games, and
16:19
Speaker 2: to sit there and like, yeah, we got seventy five
16:21
Speaker 2: million dollars in cap space too, oh, by the way,
16:24
Speaker 2: to work with. But they they in terms of Super
16:29
Speaker 2: Bowl champions they're probably in the best position in a
16:32
Speaker 2: long time to try to keep something special going here.
16:35
Speaker 2: Not saying it's gonna happen hard enough to win one,
16:38
Speaker 2: much less multiple ones than any championship window, but they
16:42
Speaker 2: are certainly in great position. And I guess this is
16:45
Speaker 2: a long way of me saying we can look down
16:48
Speaker 2: at all the other NFL cities because believe me, all
16:51
Speaker 2: the other NFL cities today they're gonna see clips of
16:54
Speaker 2: the parade and they're gonna hope that like JSN falls
16:57
Speaker 2: off a wagon and you know, and and lands on
17:00
Speaker 2: his shoulder. I mean, they're sitting there waiting for every
17:04
Speaker 2: opportunity to pick this team apart to try to diminish
17:07
Speaker 2: it and try to convince themselves that this team's not
17:10
Speaker 2: gonna be as good next year. Uh, and they're going
17:14
Speaker 2: to be better. And we are ripe for toppling because
17:18
Speaker 2: log on, all these people that have shown up for
17:20
Speaker 2: this parade and they have no idea how difficult it
17:23
Speaker 2: is to repeat as world champions and they're gonna see,
17:28
Speaker 2: they're gonna see there's no way they're gonna do it
17:30
Speaker 2: again next year. There's a chance we might do it
17:31
Speaker 2: again next year.
17:33
Speaker 4: Well, there's a lot of times I think after you
17:36
Speaker 4: win a championship, where you are on the mountaintop, right,
17:39
Speaker 4: and so you get to look down on everybody and
17:41
Speaker 4: you look at it and you go, Okay, what is
17:42
Speaker 4: the problem today? Yeah, what's the probability of getting back
17:46
Speaker 4: to this place? There's not a ton of times that
17:48
Speaker 4: you that I have thought that that team has a
17:52
Speaker 4: better chance than what it feels like with the Seahawks.
17:54
Speaker 4: The Seahawks feel like they're right there now. The Kubiak
17:57
Speaker 4: ripple is going to be something, but I don't know
18:00
Speaker 4: necessarily that it's going to be something that's debilitating. Could
18:03
Speaker 4: just be okay, And you got to do a bunch
18:04
Speaker 4: of extra work in the off season, and you got
18:06
Speaker 4: to show up ots and you got to not let uh,
18:09
Speaker 4: don't get comfortable and complacent because you won one. If
18:12
Speaker 4: you want to get back there, because you can have
18:13
Speaker 4: a target on your back, there's no doubt about that.
18:16
Speaker 2: Uh.
18:16
Speaker 4: To me, it just feels like the youth of this team.
18:19
Speaker 4: If there's one thing that the personality that Mike McDonald,
18:22
Speaker 4: and it trickles down through the rest of the team,
18:24
Speaker 4: and it's not just him, it's I think you have
18:27
Speaker 4: a bunch of ultra competitors. I was hearing Hugh Millan
18:30
Speaker 4: talk about Spoon and talking about that he's like a
18:32
Speaker 4: meta competitor, Like it's just like outside of what the
18:35
Speaker 4: normous and Illinois I think is that, yeah, probably probably.
18:38
Speaker 2: What it is usually a large factor usually.
18:42
Speaker 4: Where the greatest of the greats come from, for sure,
18:45
Speaker 4: and so I think all that stuff, it feels to
18:48
Speaker 4: me like this team, the personalities us covering this team,
18:52
Speaker 4: which you know, folks from Kansas City and other places
18:54
Speaker 4: that just watch them and they don't follow them the
18:56
Speaker 4: way that we do, they're not going to recognize that.
18:59
Speaker 4: This team feel like not only does it feel closer
19:01
Speaker 4: knit than most teams do, they also feel like they're
19:05
Speaker 4: gonna have a little bit of that edge. I no,
19:07
Speaker 4: we really want to be it. Everybody wants to be
19:09
Speaker 4: a dynasty. But there's a difference between oh yeah, I
19:12
Speaker 4: think we're really good. We're gonna come back and do
19:13
Speaker 4: this again, versus no, we're gonna work like we want
19:17
Speaker 4: to prove it. And while they don't have some lingering
19:20
Speaker 4: effects of the legion of boom days not becoming dynastic,
19:25
Speaker 4: there still is a part of them that knows the history. Yeah,
19:27
Speaker 4: and they're like, we can do it. Well, watch we'll
19:29
Speaker 4: do it.
19:30
Speaker 2: It just feels it does feel like a team that
19:32
Speaker 2: gets it. And I don't think there are a lot
19:34
Speaker 2: of professional teams that do get it, but they do
19:36
Speaker 2: feel like one that gets it. If ever, I've seen
19:39
Speaker 2: one since I came to town that seemed like, yeah,
19:41
Speaker 2: we kind of get what it takes. It seems to
19:45
Speaker 2: be this one. But we'll worry about next year, you know,
19:48
Speaker 2: way off in the distance, like tomorrow's show, we'll start
19:52
Speaker 2: worrying about next year. Today is all about celebrating this
19:56
Speaker 2: team in twenty twenty five leading into twenty twenty six,
20:01
Speaker 2: where the Super Bowl title was claimed on the rival territory,
20:06
Speaker 2: on rival soil in Santa Clara, California. And now they
20:11
Speaker 2: returned to Seattle to millions that could show up here today.
20:16
Speaker 2: And so that's our focus on today's parade. Day. Let's
20:21
Speaker 2: find out what's on tap?
20:23
Speaker 4: Yeah, what what's on TEP. What's on TEP?
20:28
Speaker 2: All right? So complete parade coverage and Ian Farness is
20:32
Speaker 2: going to lead it up at ten o'clock. We made
20:34
Speaker 2: a little switcher rou with him and Mark so that
20:37
Speaker 2: the lifelong Seahawk fan in longtime Seattle Seahawk reporter slash
20:43
Speaker 2: talk show host could be at the controls. Smart move
20:46
Speaker 2: I think by Rich Moore there. So Ian's gonna lead
20:49
Speaker 2: up our coverage starting at ten o'clock, and I think
20:52
Speaker 2: Ashley's gonna be out in the field, which is exciting.
20:56
Speaker 2: And then of course David Softy Maller and of all
20:59
Speaker 2: the talents that he has, this might be his best
21:02
Speaker 2: one him covering a parade route. He was legendary, you know,
21:07
Speaker 2: thirteen years ago, Get Ready or twelve years ago, Get Ready,
21:12
Speaker 2: because he's back on the job this year, and so
21:15
Speaker 2: we got Jackson Feltz is gonna be on the route.
21:17
Speaker 2: It's going to be a special special day as far
21:19
Speaker 2: as this show will be done as the luminfield ceremony begins.
21:26
Speaker 2: So we're gonna get you ready for it, and I
21:28
Speaker 2: can't think of a better way to get you ready
21:30
Speaker 2: for it than to just purely focus today on this
21:34
Speaker 2: season We're gonna do a sea Hawks season in review,
21:37
Speaker 2: all Seahawks topics. How did we go from a team
21:41
Speaker 2: that Vegas said was only going to win eight and
21:43
Speaker 2: a half games this year to world champions So we're
21:46
Speaker 2: going to detail all the crucial decisions and the crucial
21:49
Speaker 2: moments during our four hours together. Some other headlines to
21:54
Speaker 2: provide here in our What's on Tap segment. Clint Kubiak,
21:57
Speaker 2: introduced in Las Vegas yesterday's an official official. He is
22:01
Speaker 2: the next head coach of the Raiders Mariner spring training.
22:04
Speaker 2: We now have a pictorial proof that they are underway
22:07
Speaker 2: in Peoria. Bucky and I will be there Saturday and
22:11
Speaker 2: start to delivering our spring training coverage as early as
22:14
Speaker 2: Monday morning. The Winter Olympics continue, NBA All Star Weekend
22:18
Speaker 2: is this weekend, and in college basketball, you dub in
22:21
Speaker 2: action tonight against Penn State. That is your matchup. More
22:25
Speaker 2: headlines coming your way at seven o'clock today right here
22:29
Speaker 2: on Chuck and Buck and so we get things started.
22:32
Speaker 2: Greg Bell will join us at seven oh five. Matt
22:35
Speaker 2: Hasselbeck's final conversation with us is coming your way at
22:38
Speaker 2: eight o'clock. And if we're going to do a Seahawks
22:40
Speaker 2: season in review. I think it starts with that decision
22:43
Speaker 2: at quarterback that worked out so nicely for the Seattle Seahawks.
22:47
Speaker 2: We talked Sam next on Sports Radio ninety three point
22:50
Speaker 2: three KJRFM.
22:56
Speaker 5: You hear nothing about great things, nothing but great things
23:00
Speaker 5: about this organization, and man, I'm just so excited to
23:03
Speaker 5: be a part of it. I'm excited to meet some
23:06
Speaker 5: of the fans, the twelves you know playing here. I
23:09
Speaker 5: think I've played here a total of three times, actually
23:12
Speaker 5: played twice. I was a backup in San Francisco working
23:16
Speaker 5: with Clint here one of those times. And it's an
23:19
Speaker 5: unbelievable atmosphere at Lumenfield. And I'm so excited to finally
23:23
Speaker 5: have those those twelves on my side this time. And yeah, man,
23:28
Speaker 5: just just really looking forward to this opportunity to be
23:32
Speaker 5: here with with my teammates, with these coaches. I think
23:36
Speaker 5: we have an opportunity to do something very very special here.
23:41
Speaker 2: The words of Sam Darnold that is introductory press conference
23:45
Speaker 2: as quarterback of the Seattle Seahawks. Since that time, all
23:50
Speaker 2: he's done has become a Pro Bowl quarterback, an MVP candidate,
23:55
Speaker 2: a Super Bowl champion, Disneyland, teacup Rider with Ken Walker,
24:00
Speaker 2: and he opened his own Chicken Strip restaurant. All of
24:03
Speaker 2: that in like seven months. Not bad, not bad, Sam.
24:09
Speaker 4: Well, Gingers are typically capable of more than your average person. Yeah,
24:14
Speaker 4: and so the first ever ginger quarterback to win a
24:17
Speaker 4: Super Bowl. Yeah, you just imagine he's going to be
24:19
Speaker 4: a bit more famous than some of the others. I
24:21
Speaker 4: mean Tom Brady, who yeah, never heard of it.
24:24
Speaker 2: Yeah, I got to give you credit. And Ashley, I
24:26
Speaker 2: think we got to finally give him credit. I mean,
24:28
Speaker 2: he talks about this ginger power, but it does turn
24:31
Speaker 2: out actually that once every sixty years gingers do something wonderful.
24:35
Speaker 1: I had no idea, I mean I was. I was
24:38
Speaker 1: probably just as surprised as the next person.
24:41
Speaker 4: Yeah. I don't think it's just once every Well you
24:44
Speaker 4: said once one super Bowl, just at the quarterback.
24:48
Speaker 2: Oh okay, I misinterpreted. Yeah, I got Yeah.
24:52
Speaker 4: I mean we're really good as a lot of things,
24:54
Speaker 4: just not usually quarterbacking.
24:56
Speaker 2: It is Chuck about. Good morning to you. It is
24:59
Speaker 2: Parade Day. We are live from Jimmys on First Down
25:02
Speaker 2: here at Silver Cloud. It's our home away from home
25:04
Speaker 2: here at k h A R. They're taking the stools
25:07
Speaker 2: off the tables now, they're getting ready for the rush.
25:10
Speaker 2: Turns out they're gonna be a person or two down here.
25:13
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, and busier and busier by the second. I
25:16
Speaker 4: mean just the last segment you saw one or two,
25:18
Speaker 4: three people walking by. Now it's constant.
25:21
Speaker 2: I mean it is.
25:22
Speaker 4: It is filling up. Man, It is early to get
25:24
Speaker 4: down here. But folks are wanting to get in and
25:26
Speaker 4: enjoy this. You don't get it every single year.
25:29
Speaker 2: Yeah, it turns out, yeah, get it.
25:30
Speaker 4: Everything hard to do, I guess, uh huh.
25:33
Speaker 2: And everybody's suck.
25:34
Speaker 1: If you did, though, I'll tell you that.
25:36
Speaker 2: Yeah. Maybe maybe we just win them all from here
25:38
Speaker 2: on here.
25:39
Speaker 4: On then get boring.
25:40
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, probably then when when you finish runner up,
25:44
Speaker 2: you want to fire everybody. Uh so, uh yeah. The
25:48
Speaker 2: people are out here. It's gonna be a it's gonna
25:51
Speaker 2: be a mob scene. That's that's very clear. And And
25:53
Speaker 2: so we're gonna broadcast here all day long from Jimmys
25:56
Speaker 2: on first in for ness. We'll start our actual parade
25:59
Speaker 2: coverage at ten o'clock. And so Bucky Ashley and myself
26:03
Speaker 2: we are your pregame show, and thanks for coming by
26:05
Speaker 2: and smiling and waving all of you. You can't yet
26:08
Speaker 2: get into to Jimmy's yet. I think they're opening the
26:11
Speaker 2: doors at seven o'clock. But they're ready, They're ready for you.
26:14
Speaker 2: So we can't wait to see you. Heard from Sam
26:18
Speaker 2: Donald and the clip and obviously I mean, I mean,
26:21
Speaker 2: I think maybe the Sea Hawk conversation starts with John
26:24
Speaker 2: Schneider and Mike McDonald. But we all know how important
26:28
Speaker 2: it is to find that quarterback. And when this team
26:32
Speaker 2: took a chance in saying goodbye to a good quarterback
26:37
Speaker 2: and Gino Smith, we thought he played well as a Seahawk,
26:41
Speaker 2: but certainly he opened the door for improvement. There was
26:45
Speaker 2: certainly an avenue out there to try to find a
26:48
Speaker 2: better situation at quarterback. I think we all ended the
26:51
Speaker 2: season hoping that John Schneider would pull some magic, and
26:55
Speaker 2: he rolled the dice on Sam Donald, the failed third
26:59
Speaker 2: overall pick of the New York Jets, who most people
27:03
Speaker 2: had thrown dirt on his career and yet overlooked how
27:06
Speaker 2: special the season he ed with the Minnesota Vikings a
27:09
Speaker 2: year ago and chalked it up to flukish and actually
27:12
Speaker 2: focused more on his last two games during an excellent
27:16
Speaker 2: season and thought that was Sam Donald. And so for
27:20
Speaker 2: those that had doubt, understandable. I can tell you that
27:24
Speaker 2: this show thought it was an upgrade. I can tell
27:26
Speaker 2: you that our main insiders that we use on the
27:30
Speaker 2: show thought it was an upgrade over Geno Smith. So
27:32
Speaker 2: we'll go ahead and we'll toot that horn because I
27:36
Speaker 2: think we were all, at least on this show on
27:38
Speaker 2: the Sam Donald train. But certainly I don't think any
27:42
Speaker 2: of us thought Sam Donold's going to lead us to
27:45
Speaker 2: a Super Bowl this year, and so for him to
27:47
Speaker 2: have pulled that off is an incredible accomplishment. And I
27:50
Speaker 2: would just say this for all the people that still
27:53
Speaker 2: hold on to all of their doubt. I saw this
27:55
Speaker 2: last night. When you get your reaction to it, Bucky
27:58
Speaker 2: Matthew Coller, who's a sports rider in Minnesota, so he
28:02
Speaker 2: covered Sam Donald for one year. He was reacting to
28:06
Speaker 2: somebody asking the question, is Sam Donald the worst quarterback
28:10
Speaker 2: to win a Super Bowl? And matt Coller's response was,
28:14
Speaker 2: Sam Donald has won seventy eight percent of his games
28:17
Speaker 2: with a ninety nine point four quarterback rating and seven
28:21
Speaker 2: point one adjusted netyards per attempt since the twenty twenty
28:25
Speaker 2: two regular season, Patrick Mahomes has won or Since two
28:30
Speaker 2: thousand and two. In the regular season, Patrick Mahomes has
28:33
Speaker 2: won seventy three percent of his games versus seventy eight,
28:36
Speaker 2: with a ninety five point seven rating versus ninety nine
28:40
Speaker 2: point four and a six point seven adjusted netyards per
28:44
Speaker 2: attempt average since twenty and twenty two to Sam Donald's
28:50
Speaker 2: seven point one. Then he closes out the tweet with
28:53
Speaker 2: people hate hitting refresh on their takes that don't hit
28:58
Speaker 2: the mark right, and that to me is the bottom
29:01
Speaker 2: line to this entire Sam Darnald conversation that we've had
29:04
Speaker 2: all football season long. I'm not here saying and I
29:08
Speaker 2: don't think Matt Koller is here to say Sam Darnald
29:11
Speaker 2: is better than Patrick Mahomes. All that we've said is
29:15
Speaker 2: Sam Donald is not the guy you he used to be,
29:18
Speaker 2: and that some people out there still think that he is.
29:21
Speaker 4: I don't understand the idea of Okay, well, I watch
29:25
Speaker 4: a kid come out of college and he struggles, right,
29:28
Speaker 4: and it's one thing to struggle, but it's another thing
29:31
Speaker 4: to struggle in New York. When everybody struggles, it seems
29:34
Speaker 4: like when they go there to be the quarterback and
29:35
Speaker 4: so but to latch onto that well and then just
29:39
Speaker 4: he sucks and there's no chance he could improve. Yeah,
29:42
Speaker 4: but what, well, in what world are you not better
29:46
Speaker 4: later on in life after? I mean, I don't know who.
29:50
Speaker 4: I mean, even Michael Phelps was better at twenty than
29:52
Speaker 4: he was at twenty eight, But that's different. Yeah, that's
29:55
Speaker 4: a different sport. And so really, for the most part,
29:58
Speaker 4: in most sports, you're going to scu well, you're going
30:00
Speaker 4: to struggle. It's how you respond to that. He most
30:03
Speaker 4: certainly took it on the chin. I mean, he was
30:05
Speaker 4: a bust for a minute. He was what third overall pick,
30:08
Speaker 4: and then all next thing, you know, he's holding the clipboard.
30:11
Speaker 4: But he didn't take that as well, that's just who
30:13
Speaker 4: I am. Now. He took it as Okay, Well, I
30:16
Speaker 4: don't have the pressure on Sunday, but I still get
30:18
Speaker 4: to do the work all week and prepare and do
30:21
Speaker 4: what I can to you know, maybe he's running the
30:23
Speaker 4: scout team for against a defensive offense, he's still gets
30:26
Speaker 4: to learn the stuff. He obviously did that. So if
30:29
Speaker 4: he didn't recognize it he was doing that last year
30:31
Speaker 4: in Minnesota, then why would you recognize it? Now, I
30:34
Speaker 4: would think that maybe leading a team to a super Bowl,
30:37
Speaker 4: especially when you have the numbers that he's put up,
30:39
Speaker 4: the recent numbers that he's put up since he's been
30:41
Speaker 4: a starter. Again, I don't know how you can't step
30:44
Speaker 4: back off of it. I mean, you're right, we were
30:47
Speaker 4: all pleased when they made the move from Geno. Now
30:49
Speaker 4: that Gina was horrible, right, But he made some bad mistakes.
30:52
Speaker 2: He made.
30:53
Speaker 4: What I was saying all pat last season was he
30:56
Speaker 4: just makes mistakes that you would expect out of a rookie,
31:00
Speaker 4: not a rookie anymore. So you're not learning that part
31:03
Speaker 4: of the game. Those interceptions in the end zoner when
31:05
Speaker 4: you're already backed up against your end zone, you can't
31:08
Speaker 4: do that. Those are those are shooting yourself in the
31:10
Speaker 4: foot type of mistakes. Well, Sam Donald didn't make those.
31:13
Speaker 4: He had one game where he had four interceptions and
31:15
Speaker 4: he probably lost that game, he would say, single handed.
31:17
Speaker 4: He kind of lost that game for the team. Other
31:20
Speaker 4: than that, he managed this team and it didn't just
31:23
Speaker 4: manage it like, well, if you need me to go
31:25
Speaker 4: head to head against Matthew Stafford, I'm probably not gonna
31:28
Speaker 4: do it. No, he rose to the occasion at times.
31:31
Speaker 4: For the majority of the time, though, he just did
31:33
Speaker 4: what his team needed him to do. He did it
31:35
Speaker 4: in the Super Bowl, he did it all the way
31:37
Speaker 4: through the playoffs. Everybody was all over him about his turnovers.
31:40
Speaker 4: Oh you're gonna you're gonna miss the playoffs because of
31:42
Speaker 4: Sam Donald turno's. You're gonna not make it as deep
31:44
Speaker 4: in the playoffs as you're supposed to because of Sam
31:46
Speaker 4: Donald turnos. Well, now they're the first team in NFL
31:49
Speaker 4: history to not have a turnover in the playoffs, and
31:52
Speaker 4: he's the one that was is the he was most
31:54
Speaker 4: responsible for said turnovers. He was the most responsible for
31:58
Speaker 4: not turning the ball over in the playoffs as well.
32:01
Speaker 4: So to me, it's just I don't understand how people
32:03
Speaker 4: can't just say but I guess it's when you jump
32:06
Speaker 4: off of the fence and you say, Okay, I'm gonna
32:07
Speaker 4: be on this side of the Sam Donald, or I'm
32:09
Speaker 4: gonna be on this side. If you jump off the
32:11
Speaker 4: fence and run one hundred miles an hour in the
32:13
Speaker 4: direction of this guy sucks. Well, yeah, it's hard to
32:16
Speaker 4: turn back from that because you went so hard into
32:18
Speaker 4: there's no way that this guy's good. I mean, there
32:21
Speaker 4: is an argument to be made about, Okay, how much
32:24
Speaker 4: was he responsible for it considering how good this defense
32:28
Speaker 4: was playing, especially down the stretch here. Yeah, there's a
32:32
Speaker 4: debate that there's other quarterbacks that could have done what
32:34
Speaker 4: he did, but he did it. The understanding of what
32:37
Speaker 4: do I need to do and what do I not
32:39
Speaker 4: need to do he most certainly got. And I just
32:42
Speaker 4: don't understand how people just can't step off over their
32:45
Speaker 4: high horse when they think that the guy sucks when
32:46
Speaker 4: he obviously doesn't suck.
32:48
Speaker 2: Well, I do understand that it's what we've mapped out
32:51
Speaker 2: a couple of times. They just can't admit that they
32:53
Speaker 2: were wrong, or that somebody can change, or that somebody
32:57
Speaker 2: can grow. And that's all it is. And so you know,
33:01
Speaker 2: I've heard enough of it. Whoever is saying Sam Donald
33:05
Speaker 2: still has more to prove than they are the owner
33:08
Speaker 2: of sour grapes. I thought Kyle Shanahan, believe it or not,
33:11
Speaker 2: said it best in the pregame. He had to temper
33:13
Speaker 2: every one of his pregame comments during the Super Bowl
33:16
Speaker 2: with I don't like to say this about the Seahawks,
33:19
Speaker 2: but but he said we had him for a year,
33:23
Speaker 2: people will give us more credit than we deserve. Sam
33:26
Speaker 2: Donald is ridiculously talented, and we didn't really teach him anything.
33:32
Speaker 2: And he also said, and Sam has always wanted to
33:35
Speaker 2: let it rip. I mean, that's but that was his
33:38
Speaker 2: curse early in his career. We didn't really teach him
33:42
Speaker 2: anything new. We didn't really unlock the quarterback position for him.
33:47
Speaker 2: What he did, in an opportunity to observe and to
33:50
Speaker 2: be come off of our bench, was that you can't
33:54
Speaker 2: let it rip every single play. And so I think,
33:58
Speaker 2: if anything, what we did for Sam Donald as we
34:01
Speaker 2: taught him win not to let it rip, and that
34:05
Speaker 2: obviously came into play this year. It came into play
34:08
Speaker 2: at the Super Bowl. The defense was so dominated. Sam
34:11
Speaker 2: Donald realized, and either he realized or Clint Kubiak or
34:15
Speaker 2: Mike McDonald got in his ear to make him realize,
34:18
Speaker 2: we don't need you to slam things into mailboxes here.
34:22
Speaker 2: Our defense isn't gonna give up a lot today. Just
34:25
Speaker 2: be a just take care of the football and you'll
34:28
Speaker 2: have your opportunities to let it rip and seize those opportunities.
34:31
Speaker 2: And that's exactly the way that he played on Super
34:34
Speaker 2: Bowl Sunday, so I'm glad he's our quarterback. And here's
34:37
Speaker 2: the great part about it is he grew last year
34:41
Speaker 2: with the Vikings and learned, and he applied that to
34:44
Speaker 2: a season with the Seahawks, and I think he's still
34:46
Speaker 2: growing and learning. I think he's gonna be even better
34:49
Speaker 2: next year. Maybe the team won't be as good, but
34:51
Speaker 2: I think Sam Donald's gonna be even better next season.
34:53
Speaker 2: All right, Coming up next, let's talk about the acquisition
34:57
Speaker 2: that was made at the trading deadline in our sea
35:00
Speaker 2: Hawks season in review, as John Schneider has just been
35:04
Speaker 2: about as good as anybody and any sport at the
35:07
Speaker 2: trading deadline. Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM, and
35:11
Speaker 2: we are underway in Seattle. Rashid Shaheed drifted to his right.
35:15
Speaker 2: He'll feel the kickoff of the four. Shaheed to the fifteen,
35:17
Speaker 2: across the twenty. Gears left to the twenty cat a
35:19
Speaker 2: hell to a thirty step two a tackle, the fully
35:21
Speaker 2: stumbles acrossmic field. Tell the right sideline of the thirty,
35:25
Speaker 2: Shah to the twenty. He's all the way home. A
35:28
Speaker 2: Seattle touchdown on the opening kickoff. Six nothing Seahawks Freshie Shahed,
35:38
Speaker 2: We're gonna talk some rashik heed bummy. First, let you
35:41
Speaker 2: know that Talala Resort Casino is there waiting for you
35:44
Speaker 2: with open arms. Swing on by there with all your

Speaker 2: the Creek Casino your friends in times of need.
35:59
Speaker 4: That's so true. I mean, and right now you're probably
36:02
Speaker 4: not needing a whole lot. I think everybody's kind of
36:04
Speaker 4: in a very good mood at this point in time
36:07
Speaker 4: since Sunday and winning the championship. But I mean, you
36:10
Speaker 4: don't have to go gamble. It isn't dependent on your mood, right,
36:13
Speaker 4: you can go there and throw some duck in town.
36:15
Speaker 4: I bet you get good money on next year's Super
36:18
Speaker 4: Bowl win for the Seahawks. You can get, you know,
36:20
Speaker 4: better money than next year when they're fifteen and oh.
36:22
Speaker 2: Yeah, and if you really like having a casino to yourself,
36:25
Speaker 2: I think everyone in Seattle is all in state of
36:29
Speaker 2: Washington is already here. Yeah, it's seven eight, not even
36:32
Speaker 2: seven am. I mean, Greg Bell's here already, right, So.
36:36
Speaker 4: If you were wanting to get to that one slot machine,
36:39
Speaker 4: over in the corner that's really hot, and their chances
36:41
Speaker 4: are the lady that's usually sitting there she here.
36:44
Speaker 2: Today, Yeah, buless here. Yeah, I saw our waving a
36:47
Speaker 2: twelve flag earlier. Yeah, so that corner slot is open.
36:50
Speaker 2: Better get there though, quick, man, Rashid Shahid, and we
36:53
Speaker 2: don't have a lot of time. We got Greg coming
36:55
Speaker 2: up at seven o five headlines at seven o'clock as
36:58
Speaker 2: we broadcast live from Jimmy's on First getting ready for
37:00
Speaker 2: the Super Bowl parade, which won't start until eleven. But man,
37:04
Speaker 2: we already have activity here in Seattle. But Rashicha, he
37:10
Speaker 2: was just a terrific edition. But this is no fluke.
37:13
Speaker 2: I mean, John Schneider is Executive of the Year. He
37:16
Speaker 2: is on a heater like few executives have ever been
37:20
Speaker 2: on in the history of professional sports. This is three
37:22
Speaker 2: years in a row where he's been pretty magical, especially
37:27
Speaker 2: in conjunction with Mike McDonald after he and Mike McDonald
37:31
Speaker 2: had to have that heart to heart, face to face
37:33
Speaker 2: conversation of you know, John, you're really good at what
37:36
Speaker 2: you do. I don't want to step on any toes,
37:38
Speaker 2: but you got me bad linebackers. I need this guy.
37:41
Speaker 2: Since that conversation, the two of them have been the
37:44
Speaker 2: best marriage in professional football. Think about the last three years.
37:48
Speaker 2: I mean the additions at the trading deadline on October thirtieth,
37:51
Speaker 2: the twenty twenty three Leonard Williams added, In October of
37:57
Speaker 2: twenty twenty four, Ernest Jones added, and then this year
38:01
Speaker 2: Rashid Shahed and twenty twenty five added to this team.
38:04
Speaker 2: I mean, this isn't quite as active the NFL trading
38:09
Speaker 2: deadline as Major League Baseball trading deadline, and Jerry and
38:12
Speaker 2: Justin have been on a pretty good role at the
38:14
Speaker 2: trade deadline lately themselves. But man, you can't get hotter
38:18
Speaker 2: than that. I mean, that's just smoking hot right now.
38:20
Speaker 2: Leonard Williams, Ernest Jones, and Rashid Shahed and at the
38:24
Speaker 2: NFL trading deadline the last three years.
38:27
Speaker 4: Incredible work by John Yeah, yeah, I mean he obviously
38:30
Speaker 4: has been He has his finger on the heartbeat of
38:32
Speaker 4: the squad and understands where they're at. I mean, great
38:35
Speaker 4: job in the last three four drafts to where you
38:38
Speaker 4: don't have a whole bunch of pills or holes to
38:41
Speaker 4: fill when it comes time for that, but when you do,
38:44
Speaker 4: you recognize what it is and go out and get it.
38:46
Speaker 4: He's yeah, it's been masterful. I mean, won the Executive
38:48
Speaker 4: of the Year and rightfully so well.
38:50
Speaker 2: In a draft, though, you've got your board and you're
38:52
Speaker 2: picking only guys, you know, you're picking from the entire group,
38:55
Speaker 2: and you're picking the guy at that pool at that time,
38:58
Speaker 2: in the pool that you want the most. In a
39:00
Speaker 2: trade deadline, you got to find a dance part. You
39:02
Speaker 2: gotta find somebody willing to sell. Other people are coming
39:05
Speaker 2: after that same guy. You got to come up with
39:08
Speaker 2: the magical combination and then that guy's got to work.
39:11
Speaker 2: And that, to me is man that is just splendid
39:15
Speaker 2: general managership right there. And every year he has enhanced
39:19
Speaker 2: this team, and Rashid Shaheed was just the latest. Greg
39:22
Speaker 2: Bell told us all the time, Rashid Heid's gonna have
39:24
Speaker 2: one of those games that wins the game.
39:26
Speaker 4: And he did it.
39:26
Speaker 2: He did it down the stretch in one of the
39:28
Speaker 2: biggest games of the year. He had his huge game
39:30
Speaker 2: and he was a huge impact player. And now we'll
39:33
Speaker 2: see if they try to keep him.
39:34
Speaker 4: Yeah, there was a lot of things that kind of
39:36
Speaker 4: went the way in which the Seahawks needed him to go,
39:39
Speaker 4: and I don't call that luck. You put yourself in
39:42
Speaker 4: a position to where all of a sudden, you are
39:44
Speaker 4: a weird bounce off a helmet two point conversion away
39:47
Speaker 4: from pulling a comeback against the Rams. But before that,
39:51
Speaker 4: it was that punt return and then the kind of
39:53
Speaker 4: end to round run that he did. I mean, you
39:55
Speaker 4: look at his numbers. He had played nine games for
39:58
Speaker 4: the Seahawks in the regular season and and ended up
40:00
Speaker 4: having fifteen receptions. It's not like you're like, Wow, what
40:03
Speaker 4: an impact. But the impact he had in the kick game,
40:07
Speaker 4: primarily was one where you knew, like the other team,
40:10
Speaker 4: the other opponent was like, we can't kick the ball
40:12
Speaker 4: to this guy. We can't punt the ball to this guy.
40:14
Speaker 4: All of a sudden, you're forcing them into mistakes, and
40:16
Speaker 4: he was changing field position on a regular basis.
40:18
Speaker 2: Headlines next, Greg bell Is with us live at ar
40:21
Speaker 2: setire at Jimmy Saw on First Sports Radio ninety three
40:24
Speaker 2: point three KJRFM.
