It is tomorrow night. And of 169 00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:35,559 Speaker 6: course I don't know if there's anybody in the National 170 00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:38,720 Speaker 6: Football League in analyst that's questioning whether or not the 171 00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:42,920 Speaker 6: Seahawks defense is ready for this matchup against Matt Stafford. 172 00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:46,960 Speaker 6: They've already faced the Rams, uh and did well. Matt 173 00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:49,520 Speaker 6: Stafford has had an MVP season. The only time he 174 00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:52,880 Speaker 6: didn't look like an MVP was against the Seahawks when 175 00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:55,720 Speaker 6: they faced him. He actually looked confused at times. He 176 00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:58,560 Speaker 6: certainly didn't put up the numbers that have made him 177 00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:01,920 Speaker 6: an MVP candidate. And so I don't know if anybody's 178 00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:04,120 Speaker 6: questioning whether or not the Seahawks defense is going to 179 00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:06,960 Speaker 6: be ready for this matchup tomorrow night. But it feels 180 00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:10,600 Speaker 6: like everybody's questioning whether the offense is where it needs 181 00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:14,920 Speaker 6: to be heading into this game. Yet they posted some 182 00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:19,120 Speaker 6: big numbers eventually against the Atlanta Falcons and ended up 183 00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:22,040 Speaker 6: with a blowout eventually against the Minnesota Vikings. 184 00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:24,800 Speaker 2: But there's some red flags going on around here. 185 00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:28,520 Speaker 6: As Hugh Millen helped us point out on Monday morning, 186 00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:33,120 Speaker 6: you played the Indianapolis Colts with Philip Rivers quarterbacking on 187 00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:36,280 Speaker 6: the other side, and yet you didn't score a touchdown 188 00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:39,319 Speaker 6: four quarters. You didn't score a touchdown at home against 189 00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:42,800 Speaker 6: the Indianapolis Colts, And so there are a couple of things. 190 00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:45,000 Speaker 6: Number one, why are you settling for so many. 191 00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:46,200 Speaker 2: Field goals these days? 192 00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:50,319 Speaker 6: We also have the Sam Darnold turnover issue that Greg 193 00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:54,760 Speaker 6: brings up a lot that is undeniable. It's factual information. 194 00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:58,200 Speaker 6: He's one of the league leaders in number of turnovers 195 00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:03,640 Speaker 6: individually as a quarterback this year. And certainly there is 196 00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:07,079 Speaker 6: a big concern over a lack of a running game. 197 00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:10,640 Speaker 6: No matter how hard they try, no matter how much 198 00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:14,000 Speaker 6: effort they give toward this project, they don't seem to 199 00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:17,000 Speaker 6: be getting better at it. And so as we get 200 00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:20,240 Speaker 6: ready for the biggest game of the year, you do wonder. 201 00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:23,000 Speaker 6: You have to wonder whether or not this offense is 202 00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:25,560 Speaker 6: in a good place to pull off its biggest win. 203 00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:25,960 Speaker 7: Of the season. 204 00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:29,240 Speaker 4: They're gonna have to show up and play one of 205 00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:32,480 Speaker 4: their better games, you would think, and or you know 206 00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:36,280 Speaker 4: that combined with some mistakes for that the defense forces 207 00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:39,160 Speaker 4: some mistakes, or you know, some short fields for them 208 00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:41,880 Speaker 4: and whatnot. But yeah, I think that you can come 209 00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:44,760 Speaker 4: off of a win against a team that is heading 210 00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:47,000 Speaker 4: in the opposite direction of where you're wanting to go 211 00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:49,600 Speaker 4: in the Colts, I mean, and who they were playing 212 00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:51,880 Speaker 4: at quarterback, all that kind of stuff, you could you 213 00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:54,080 Speaker 4: can come off of a win and still not feel 214 00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:56,679 Speaker 4: better about yourself going into the bigger, biggest game. And 215 00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:58,839 Speaker 4: I think the offensive side of the ball should Now 216 00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:01,920 Speaker 4: is that a different ball game if you're playing against 217 00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:03,839 Speaker 4: the Rams. Is there times that they go for it 218 00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:06,880 Speaker 4: on fourth down when they when they decided to kick 219 00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:10,800 Speaker 4: field goals? I think quite possibly, because typically the Rams 220 00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:13,199 Speaker 4: are a team that isn't going to have as much 221 00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:15,560 Speaker 4: of a difficulty of putting up points as well no 222 00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:17,960 Speaker 4: matter how good your defense is, they're still going to 223 00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:20,280 Speaker 4: they're still going to get down and they're going to 224 00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:21,440 Speaker 4: move the ball from time to time. 225 00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:23,400 Speaker 7: It's it's against their offense. 226 00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:25,920 Speaker 4: You're thinking, we got to contain this situation, you know, 227 00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:27,880 Speaker 4: when we think our defense can, it's not. You're not 228 00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:31,439 Speaker 4: probably going out there thinking a shutout as likely, And 229 00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:33,920 Speaker 4: so I think the offense has to do a little 230 00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:36,400 Speaker 4: bit more than just hopefully kind of stay in it 231 00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:38,520 Speaker 4: that type of a thing, because they're just there's some 232 00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:40,679 Speaker 4: danger on that rams side of things, and it's not 233 00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:43,400 Speaker 4: like their defense is some slouch either. They can take 234 00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:45,440 Speaker 4: the ball away from you, they can get after the pass, 235 00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:47,680 Speaker 4: so they can they can fortune mistakes too. So it's 236 00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:49,960 Speaker 4: there's a lot going on into this thing, and I 237 00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:53,280 Speaker 4: think the offensive masterminds over there definitely have their hands full. 238 00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:55,800 Speaker 6: As much as I like going forward on fourth down, 239 00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:58,760 Speaker 6: I mean, I'm not Greg Olsen, but I'm more in 240 00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:02,079 Speaker 6: the Olsen category. I do like going forward on fourth down. 241 00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:04,880 Speaker 6: I don't like settling for field goals. I really didn't 242 00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:07,160 Speaker 6: have a problem with those decisions. I mean, there were 243 00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:11,240 Speaker 6: six of them to be made on Sunday, and each 244 00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:15,240 Speaker 6: time Mike McDonald took the points and it turned out 245 00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:17,199 Speaker 6: to be just enough. I don't really want to. I 246 00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:19,280 Speaker 6: don't really like playing football that way. I think Pete 247 00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:21,160 Speaker 6: Carroll did this. Sometimes. I just want to be there 248 00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:23,600 Speaker 6: in the fourth quarter. I'd rather be up ten in 249 00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:26,160 Speaker 6: the fourth quarter. Frankly, Yeah, I don't want to sit 250 00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:27,800 Speaker 6: there and let it hinge on whether or not I 251 00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:30,480 Speaker 6: can stop a team from getting into field goal range 252 00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:32,600 Speaker 6: or if we can get into field goal range. Because 253 00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:36,199 Speaker 6: we're playing a one score game. I'd much prefer having 254 00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:38,640 Speaker 6: a big lead heading into the fourth quarter. So I 255 00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:42,720 Speaker 6: don't necessarily, I mean as a whole, I don't like 256 00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:46,600 Speaker 6: putting our putting my team in that position. That said, 257 00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:49,199 Speaker 6: the six decisions that he made, I don't know if 258 00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:51,360 Speaker 6: I had a problem with any of them. Where I 259 00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:54,120 Speaker 6: do have a problem is the way that Clint Kubiak 260 00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:59,600 Speaker 6: seems to be approaching, you know, getting into the red zone, 261 00:11:59,840 --> 00:12:02,559 Speaker 6: or as Hugh and Coach talked about on Monday, the 262 00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:05,120 Speaker 6: fringe zone, which now you only have to get in 263 00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:08,000 Speaker 6: the fringe zone twenty to forty yard line, because that 264 00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:10,360 Speaker 6: puts you in field goal range in today's game, especially 265 00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:13,040 Speaker 6: when you're boasting the hottest kicker in the National Football League. 266 00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:16,720 Speaker 6: But it's very clear that this team's not really running 267 00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:20,800 Speaker 6: the football effectively, and we have now had fourteen games 268 00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:23,080 Speaker 6: to try to figure out how to do that well. 269 00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:25,400 Speaker 6: We're getting ready for the biggest three games of the 270 00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:29,120 Speaker 6: year against three potential playoff teams. Two of them are 271 00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:32,800 Speaker 6: going to be on the road, and so I don't 272 00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:35,720 Speaker 6: want to sit here and just spend my entire game 273 00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:38,600 Speaker 6: trying to establish that we can run the football. 274 00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:41,040 Speaker 2: And I'll give you two great examples of this. 275 00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:43,400 Speaker 6: I mean, you try to establish the run in the 276 00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:47,079 Speaker 6: first quarter, you can't get anything going against the Indianapolis Colts. 277 00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:49,079 Speaker 6: At the end of the first quarter, you finally start 278 00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:53,280 Speaker 6: clicking Donald hits cup for sixteen yards, then Donald to 279 00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:56,480 Speaker 6: Shiheed for thirteen yards, and you go from the thirty 280 00:12:56,520 --> 00:12:58,920 Speaker 6: eight yard line to their thirty three yard line, and 281 00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:02,120 Speaker 6: no time, you're at their thirty three yard line and 282 00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:05,400 Speaker 6: you started going up tempo. Even the announcers pointed that out. 283 00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:08,120 Speaker 6: Look at how they're just racing to So it's like, okay, 284 00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:11,720 Speaker 6: all right, we tried to establish the run. You're not 285 00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:13,920 Speaker 6: going to abandon the run late in the first quarter. 286 00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:16,360 Speaker 6: But you got to get the offense going and it 287 00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:18,560 Speaker 6: looks like you have and what did they do on 288 00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:22,959 Speaker 6: the next three plays? Walker run left, pitch left, walker left, draw, 289 00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:28,760 Speaker 6: walker field goal. By everything that you got going, you 290 00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:32,520 Speaker 6: then just gave away. And I realized that the art 291 00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:35,839 Speaker 6: of football is to do something that they're not expecting, 292 00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:39,160 Speaker 6: but not at the risk of doing something that you're 293 00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:43,880 Speaker 6: good at. Right right, I mean, because we've seen throughout 294 00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:48,720 Speaker 6: history that I mean, Mike Holmgren didn't not throw the 295 00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:52,520 Speaker 6: football because he knew the defense knew that they could 296 00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:56,560 Speaker 6: throw the football, and to me, that is happening way 297 00:13:56,600 --> 00:14:00,440 Speaker 6: too frequently. There are other examples in it as well, 298 00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:03,000 Speaker 6: like there were a couple of drives that bogged down, 299 00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:05,760 Speaker 6: a Brady Russell drop, a missed PI. 300 00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:08,599 Speaker 2: At one point, you had two at the end of 301 00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:09,240 Speaker 2: the first half. 302 00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:11,320 Speaker 6: You're trying to just get a field goal out of it, 303 00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:13,240 Speaker 6: and so you're trying to get into field goal range. 304 00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:15,720 Speaker 6: You're not trying to put together a long touchdown drive 305 00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:17,560 Speaker 6: at that point, and so that's how you finished with 306 00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:20,240 Speaker 6: three points at one point. And then later in the game, 307 00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:24,440 Speaker 6: kind of the same thing happened. They were rolling, they 308 00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:28,240 Speaker 6: were clicking, and then they decided once we're in scoring range, 309 00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:31,440 Speaker 6: let's run the football, and the thing bogged down again. 310 00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:36,560 Speaker 6: And so I'm not saying that he has to change dramatically, Ashley. 311 00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:40,600 Speaker 6: I'm not saying you abandoned the run. But man, this 312 00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:43,720 Speaker 6: is not in the must win category, because I think 313 00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:45,920 Speaker 6: you're making the playoffs no matter what. But if you 314 00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:48,640 Speaker 6: want to win the division, this is a must win. 315 00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:51,480 Speaker 6: And I don't want to sit here spending the entire day, 316 00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:54,680 Speaker 6: spending every drive trying to make sure the Rams know 317 00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:57,000 Speaker 6: that we can run the football. We might not be 318 00:14:57,080 --> 00:14:59,960 Speaker 6: able to run the football, and we definitely damn sure 319 00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:02,760 Speaker 6: can throw the football, and we certainly have a wide 320 00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:05,840 Speaker 6: receiver that dominates football games. We've watched it time and 321 00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:07,880 Speaker 6: time again, no matter how many people that they put 322 00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:10,280 Speaker 6: on him. And so I don't want to sacrifice what 323 00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:13,360 Speaker 6: we do best just to show the Rams that what 324 00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:14,640 Speaker 6: we do worst. 325 00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:17,560 Speaker 2: Is something we can do. It's something we can do. 326 00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:20,280 Speaker 2: And I think that that's been happening way too frequently. 327 00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:23,600 Speaker 9: Yeah, it's very frustrating that I don't think that that 328 00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:25,960 Speaker 9: you need to prove to anyone you can run the football, 329 00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:27,840 Speaker 9: And it does seem like at times they want to 330 00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:29,360 Speaker 9: prove to people that they can do it, and I 331 00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:32,000 Speaker 9: don't understand it. I noticed on Sunday that when they 332 00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:34,000 Speaker 9: started speeding things up, like you were just talking about 333 00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:35,960 Speaker 9: the tempo of the offense, that's when they were their 334 00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:36,760 Speaker 9: most successful. 335 00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:38,720 Speaker 2: And then it would just and. 336 00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:40,240 Speaker 9: You had a lot of energy in the building and 337 00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:42,480 Speaker 9: then all of a sudden, it would just fizzle because 338 00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:45,480 Speaker 9: the offense just fizzled. And I don't know why you 339 00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:47,440 Speaker 9: would all of a sudden change that I understand. You 340 00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:50,200 Speaker 9: have to have, you know, different plays in different you know, 341 00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:52,520 Speaker 9: a different game plan once you're inside the red zone, 342 00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:55,360 Speaker 9: but it shouldn't be a completely different game plan that 343 00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:57,240 Speaker 9: takes away your best weapon. 344 00:15:57,680 --> 00:15:57,920 Speaker 7: Yeah. 345 00:15:58,040 --> 00:15:59,920 Speaker 2: The other example was at the end of the third core. 346 00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:02,680 Speaker 6: I mean, you have the ball at the twenty at 347 00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:06,240 Speaker 6: the time, you're trailing by a touchdown, Donald that beauty 348 00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:10,320 Speaker 6: to Shaheed twenty seven yards, Donald to Cup for six yards. 349 00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:12,600 Speaker 6: Then you mixed in a run, got one yard for 350 00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:14,960 Speaker 6: your effort. Then on the very next play twenty nine 351 00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:18,160 Speaker 6: yards to JSN and you've gone from the twenty to 352 00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:23,200 Speaker 6: their seventeen throwing the football and then what happens you 353 00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:24,960 Speaker 6: get into the fourth quarter, you have a break, you 354 00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:27,400 Speaker 6: come out of the fourth quarter, you're in their red zone. 355 00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:28,720 Speaker 6: You are in a position, and. 356 00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:29,800 Speaker 2: What do we do? Run? 357 00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:34,560 Speaker 6: Run, third and long pass. So that to me just 358 00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:37,520 Speaker 6: I'm not saying overhauled, Bucky. I'm not saying you a 359 00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:40,960 Speaker 6: band in the run. I'm just saying I'm not going 360 00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:44,120 Speaker 6: to spend the biggest game of the year trying to 361 00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:47,240 Speaker 6: prove to the National Football League that you have to 362 00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:50,600 Speaker 6: respect our running game. Let's do what we do best 363 00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:51,760 Speaker 6: when it matters most. 364 00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:53,720 Speaker 7: Yeah, well, I mean I get what you're saying. 365 00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:56,400 Speaker 4: They're not a drastic overhaul, not abandoning the run, but 366 00:16:56,640 --> 00:16:59,720 Speaker 4: not necessarily being so you know, clutching onto it so 367 00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:02,160 Speaker 4: that you feel like, man, what are we going to do? 368 00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:05,040 Speaker 4: I mean, I think that there's it's a you know, 369 00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:06,880 Speaker 4: I talk a lot of times when we're talking about 370 00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:09,320 Speaker 4: baseball about like the approach right, like be ready to 371 00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:11,440 Speaker 4: ambush first pitch, fast past. So that doesn't mean I 372 00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:13,640 Speaker 4: want everybody going up there and swinging at the first. 373 00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:14,439 Speaker 7: Pitch, right, you know what I mean. 374 00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:17,640 Speaker 4: So that's like you don't want everybody, you don't want 375 00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:20,000 Speaker 4: Sam Donald to drop back and pass first down every 376 00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:22,400 Speaker 4: time just because it seems to be the way they 377 00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:26,680 Speaker 4: move the ball the best, obviously, but there's a part 378 00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:28,840 Speaker 4: where I mean that first example that you said where 379 00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:31,160 Speaker 4: their first scoring drive they go three and out their 380 00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:34,920 Speaker 4: first their first possession, the second possession is that bang bang, 381 00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:38,240 Speaker 4: couple passes and then run, run, run. It's like somewhere 382 00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:40,880 Speaker 4: in those three, right, I mean, you could just keep 383 00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:42,040 Speaker 4: rolling with this thing. 384 00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:44,399 Speaker 7: Right and then and then you get it. Yeah, why not? 385 00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:46,880 Speaker 4: I mean the first run they run and he ends 386 00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:49,320 Speaker 4: up getting four yards. Okay, so now you're second and six. 387 00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:52,240 Speaker 4: Somewhere here you got to go. You got to just 388 00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:54,800 Speaker 4: stick with what got you here. Take you know, dance 389 00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:57,040 Speaker 4: with the girl that got you to the thirty yard 390 00:17:57,040 --> 00:17:59,119 Speaker 4: line or whatever, twenty nine yard line at that point 391 00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:02,600 Speaker 4: instead of two more runs because you're I mean, when 392 00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:04,199 Speaker 4: you get to third and four, it's like you're just 393 00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:04,960 Speaker 4: trying to trick him. 394 00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:05,080 Speaker 1: Now. 395 00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:07,280 Speaker 4: I would be curious to find out from you or 396 00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:14,440 Speaker 4: Sam Donald if the opponents are showing them pass defenses 397 00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:17,560 Speaker 4: pre snap and then if they're adjusting to their run right, 398 00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:20,639 Speaker 4: like if it's if they maybe Clint Kubak is calling 399 00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:22,840 Speaker 4: a pass there, you would think third and four after 400 00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:25,840 Speaker 4: he goes pass pass to get down there, two runs 401 00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:27,239 Speaker 4: and now you're at third and four. You would think 402 00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:29,160 Speaker 4: that's a pass play, right, That typically is a pass 403 00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:31,760 Speaker 4: play in the NFL. Nope, draw and then instead they 404 00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:33,560 Speaker 4: and so that might be one of those where he's 405 00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:36,760 Speaker 4: like the defense is messing with Sam Donald and he's 406 00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:38,480 Speaker 4: checking out of the play. I don't know for sure, 407 00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:41,560 Speaker 4: but I mean it's just a food for thought as 408 00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:44,280 Speaker 4: to why they do it, because I would have to 409 00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:46,280 Speaker 4: think that if you're if I'm an offensive coordinator, yes, 410 00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:48,639 Speaker 4: I want to be able to run, but I would 411 00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:50,800 Speaker 4: also like to just move the ball in chunks. How 412 00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:52,680 Speaker 4: much easier is it when you're getting twenty yard plays, 413 00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:55,000 Speaker 4: fifteen yard plays, thirty yard plays. It's a whole heck 414 00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:56,399 Speaker 4: of a lot easier to move the ball down the 415 00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:59,399 Speaker 4: field versus thinking you're gonna get twelve runs that are 416 00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:01,159 Speaker 4: going to quit the yards and seven points. 417 00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:04,960 Speaker 6: Anybody that has been an adult and has socialized at 418 00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:07,159 Speaker 6: some point in their life, at one point at a 419 00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:10,200 Speaker 6: party was in charge of the music. And if the 420 00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:13,919 Speaker 6: party's jumping, you don't just suddenly choose that. 421 00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:17,920 Speaker 2: Moment to play the carpenters. No, right, I mean yeah 422 00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:19,240 Speaker 2: at the junior high party. 423 00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:21,760 Speaker 6: Yeah, you've got to strategize when you're gonna play the 424 00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:24,240 Speaker 6: slow song, because it's the only time the boys will 425 00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:25,320 Speaker 6: actually dance. 426 00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:28,600 Speaker 2: You know, at least in my high school, a lot 427 00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:29,240 Speaker 2: of white people. 428 00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:34,000 Speaker 6: But when you're in charge of your own party and 429 00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:37,120 Speaker 6: you've got you've got to read the energy of the party, right. 430 00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:41,359 Speaker 6: You don't just to suddenly go from everybody's dancing and 431 00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:43,800 Speaker 6: having a good time and then you just slip in 432 00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:48,320 Speaker 6: some Anne Murray Morose number that just kills the entire 433 00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:50,280 Speaker 6: mood of the party. And it's the same thing with 434 00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:53,440 Speaker 6: Colin plays. I don't want to just play slow songs 435 00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:56,960 Speaker 6: just because we think we need to just feed. 436 00:19:56,760 --> 00:19:59,879 Speaker 2: The feel, the feel, the beat of the rhythm of 437 00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:00,480 Speaker 2: the night. 438 00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:02,919 Speaker 6: That's right, Yeah, all right, let's find out what's on 439 00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:03,880 Speaker 6: tap for today's show. 440 00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:09,480 Speaker 3: What's on TEP, what's on tech? 441 00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:11,639 Speaker 2: All right, Greg bel joins us this morning at seven 442 00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:12,240 Speaker 2: o five. 443 00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:16,200 Speaker 6: His buddy Omar Ruiz from the NFL Network, who's been 444 00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:18,760 Speaker 6: doing a lot of stuff in la will be joining 445 00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:22,280 Speaker 6: us today at eight o'clock this morning, So that's coming 446 00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:25,360 Speaker 6: up on the show.

To Everett Fitzhugh's point, it's 453 00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:48,240 Speaker 6: not like they've been playing bad hockey, just not good 454 00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:51,399 Speaker 6: enough to win games for goodness sake, and that was 455 00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:54,480 Speaker 6: a perfect example of that last night. They actually led 456 00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:58,520 Speaker 6: three to two against Colorado, but end up losing the 457 00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:01,120 Speaker 6: game against the best team in the NHL right now 458 00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:03,800 Speaker 6: by a final score of five to three. The NBA 459 00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:07,520 Speaker 6: It's Cup champion this year is the New York Knicks. 460 00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:09,159 Speaker 6: We got to find some time to talk about this 461 00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:12,120 Speaker 6: later on. The Knicks one over the San Antonio Spurs 462 00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:15,320 Speaker 6: to take a trophy that apparently NBA players don't want, 463 00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:18,520 Speaker 6: so we'll talk about that also, though the bigger news. 464 00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:22,840 Speaker 6: Adam Silvery yesterday discussed expansion and said that we will 465 00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:26,000 Speaker 6: address this once and for all in twenty twenty six. 466 00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:28,760 Speaker 6: We won't put Seattle in Vegas through this any longer. 467 00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:31,800 Speaker 6: We will make an announcement this year, and he mentioned 468 00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:36,880 Speaker 6: no other city specifically beyond Seattle and Las Vegas. And finally, 469 00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:40,480 Speaker 6: Terrence Crawford forty two to ohero in his boxing career. 470 00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:42,480 Speaker 6: I know we don't make as big a deal out 471 00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:45,639 Speaker 6: of boxing anymore, but this was this guy's in the 472 00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:48,200 Speaker 6: conversation for one of the greatest pound for pound fighters 473 00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:50,960 Speaker 6: of all time, and he just decided, I've won like 474 00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:53,760 Speaker 6: six different belts at six different weight levels, and I 475 00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:56,960 Speaker 6: don't really like the politics. I'm retiring. I got nothing 476 00:21:57,040 --> 00:21:59,520 Speaker 6: left to prove. So a pretty big story there from 477 00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:03,640 Speaker 6: the boxing world yesterday.

The Kraken couldn't get it done again last night. 497 00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:15,760 Speaker 6: That's now what nine out of ten games that they 498 00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:19,200 Speaker 6: have lost. Yes, they were taking on the best team 499 00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:22,160 Speaker 6: in the NHL right now, the Colorado Avalanche, and yes 500 00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:25,240 Speaker 6: they led at one point in the second period in 501 00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:29,240 Speaker 6: that contest, but they end up coughing up the lead losing, 502 00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:31,719 Speaker 6: got an empty net goal late. Wasn't as bad as 503 00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:33,440 Speaker 6: what it looked like. It was about a one goal 504 00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:35,600 Speaker 6: difference in that game, but it ends up being five 505 00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:38,760 Speaker 6: to three is your final score. So the Krakens losing 506 00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:41,520 Speaker 6: ways continue. They can't seem to get out of this 507 00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:45,000 Speaker 6: slump right now. Nine losses in their last ten games. 508 00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:48,600 Speaker 6: They'll try to end the skid in Calgary against the Flames, 509 00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:50,840 Speaker 6: and that game will be tomorrow night. 510 00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:53,200 Speaker 2: At six o'clock, let's. 511 00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:54,600 Speaker 6: Take a look at the rest of your frost brewed 512 00:23:54,640 --> 00:24:00,159 Speaker 6: Corps light choose chill headlines from the NBA. Theba A 513 00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:03,240 Speaker 6: Cup was determined last night. This end season tournament that 514 00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:05,800 Speaker 6: the NBA is trying to convince us is really cool, 515 00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:09,000 Speaker 6: and yet it really feels like players are embarrassed to 516 00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:09,359 Speaker 6: win it. 517 00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:12,000 Speaker 2: That's probably not a good thing for Adam Silver. 518 00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:17,280 Speaker 6: But based on Adam Silver's other report yesterday that he 519 00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:20,840 Speaker 6: is going to announce in twenty twenty six the expansion 520 00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:24,399 Speaker 6: plans for the National Basketball Association, we should probably be 521 00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:27,400 Speaker 6: kissing up to the commissioner right now. So I'll say, man, 522 00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:31,119 Speaker 6: I love that NBA Cup. What theater you've created, Adam Silver. 523 00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:32,520 Speaker 6: You are a genius. 524 00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:34,800 Speaker 9: The way you paint those floors to give everyone a 525 00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:36,800 Speaker 9: headache amazing. 526 00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:36,879 Speaker 2: Ah man. 527 00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:40,600 Speaker 6: And it is NonStop, breathtaking action. I think it's nearly 528 00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:42,160 Speaker 6: as good as the NBA. 529 00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:46,680 Speaker 4: Finals, probably better, but just halfway through the season it's 530 00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:47,440 Speaker 4: like two of. 531 00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:48,800 Speaker 2: Them, two championships. 532 00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:53,480 Speaker 6: Silver said that yes, he's put Seattle in Vegas through 533 00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:56,880 Speaker 6: too much waiting for this announcement, and he really didn't 534 00:24:56,920 --> 00:24:58,040 Speaker 6: mention anybody else. 535 00:24:58,080 --> 00:24:58,480 Speaker 8: He kind of. 536 00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:01,600 Speaker 6: Lumped in the rest of the world with other possibilities 537 00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:07,359 Speaker 6: for expansion. He named Seattle and Las Vegas individually collectively. 538 00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:10,720 Speaker 6: He said, we will make an announcement in twenty twenty six. 539 00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:13,600 Speaker 6: Enough of this, so yes, that is a bit of 540 00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:17,120 Speaker 6: news that we certainly will discuss a little bit later 541 00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:18,200 Speaker 6: on in the show. 542 00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:19,800 Speaker 2: It's college football playoff week. 543 00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:22,600 Speaker 6: Oklahoma and Alabama will get it started on Friday night 544 00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:23,600 Speaker 6: at five o'clock. 545 00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:26,119 Speaker 2: There'll be three games on Saturday. 546 00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:30,080 Speaker 6: Also from college football, Jeremiah Love announced his intentions to 547 00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:32,800 Speaker 6: enter the NFL Draft. Very likely he'll be a top 548 00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:35,920 Speaker 6: ten pick, maybe even a top five pick, even though 549 00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:37,840 Speaker 6: he plays the running back position. 550 00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:39,560 Speaker 2: Mariners made a signing yesterday. 551 00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:43,600 Speaker 6: They signed a true backup catcher yesterday, Andrew Kisner, to 552 00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:45,160 Speaker 6: a one year deal. 553 00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:49,199 Speaker 2: So Kisner is just to give you a scouting report. 554 00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:51,680 Speaker 6: My dad used to make He made me a pitchback 555 00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:53,439 Speaker 6: when I was a kid because he couldn't always be 556 00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:57,679 Speaker 6: home to catch and throw it back to me. So 557 00:25:57,800 --> 00:25:59,679 Speaker 6: he made it like this pitchback thing. It was like 558 00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:01,560 Speaker 6: this wear thing with a net and it would just 559 00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:04,040 Speaker 6: launch the ball right back to me. That's pretty much 560 00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:06,600 Speaker 6: Andrew Kissner he's a pitchback with feet. 561 00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:09,520 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, that's that's the role that he will play. 562 00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:12,959 Speaker 6: And of course in the National Football League, Thursday Night 563 00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:16,040 Speaker 6: football gets it started and we are at the heart 564 00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:19,600 Speaker 6: of the football world. Seattle will host the Los Angeles 565 00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:23,840 Speaker 6: Rams tomorrow, the biggest game of the regular season. Time 566 00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:26,440 Speaker 6: to talk more about it with our Seahawks insider Greg 567 00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:27,240 Speaker 6: Bell with. 568 00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:28,200 Speaker 11: The Bell tolls. 569 00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:31,680 Speaker 3: It must be seven o'clock and time for twelfth Man 570 00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:34,879 Speaker 3: News with Greg Bell, brought to you by Coppola Diamond 571 00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:39,440 Speaker 3: Collection Prosecco Chris Sparkling with bright Fruit flavors to make 572 00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:44,280 Speaker 3: every toast shine Game Day bubbles only with Copola Diamond Prosecco. 573 00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:48,240 Speaker 3: Now with twelk Man News, here's Greg Bell with Chuck 574 00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:48,720 Speaker 3: and Bud. 575 00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:53,960 Speaker 6: Good morning, Greg. All right, well here we are just 576 00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:57,560 Speaker 6: a day away. I mean, we're already days into this 577 00:26:57,840 --> 00:27:00,960 Speaker 6: conversation about this game, but that's how big it is. 578 00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:04,600 Speaker 6: And of course so we highlight injury reports more so 579 00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:08,240 Speaker 6: than ever we have. Do we have any updated information 580 00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:11,600 Speaker 6: on our left tackle and their number two wide receiver. 581 00:27:11,359 --> 00:27:15,639 Speaker 8: Today, Well, they both were estimated not practicing again. The 582 00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:17,080 Speaker 8: Seahawks had a T shirt. 583 00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:20,199 Speaker 12: Practice or walked through and they said if had they 584 00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:25,119 Speaker 12: had a fuller practice that they estimate that Charles Cross 585 00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:28,440 Speaker 12: was not a practice with the hamstring issue to Vante Adams, 586 00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:30,119 Speaker 12: same thing for Los Angeles. 587 00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:33,000 Speaker 1: Look, hamstring issues are probably. 588 00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:35,680 Speaker 8: The wrong injury to try to go three days rest 589 00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:39,320 Speaker 8: and play two games on and especially with two teams 590 00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:43,480 Speaker 8: that are going to be playing in January. So I 591 00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:45,600 Speaker 8: would be surprised at this point if either one of 592 00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:49,040 Speaker 8: them play. The word I'm getting from friends of mine 593 00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:51,919 Speaker 8: that around the Rams in LA say that Adams is 594 00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:54,880 Speaker 8: probably not going to play. But the McVeigh is kind 595 00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:56,880 Speaker 8: of doing a little bit of gamesmanship by saying we'll 596 00:27:56,920 --> 00:27:59,120 Speaker 8: take it up to game time. I'm pretty sure that's 597 00:27:59,119 --> 00:28:01,200 Speaker 8: what McDonald's going to say the same thing about. 598 00:28:01,040 --> 00:28:05,600 Speaker 1: Charles Cross today. But I would be surprised if either 599 00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:06,040 Speaker 1: one plays. 600 00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:10,240 Speaker 8: That means Josh Jones at left tackle, and it means 601 00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:13,480 Speaker 8: probably more of three tight ends for the Rams. They 602 00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:17,399 Speaker 8: played twenty four and a half percent, almost twenty five percent, 603 00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:20,919 Speaker 8: one out of every four plays in three tight ends, 604 00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:23,000 Speaker 8: by far the most of the league. The league averages 605 00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:26,760 Speaker 8: five percent. Colby Parkinson has been very good for them 606 00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:29,440 Speaker 8: in the former Seahawks of course that they drafted first 607 00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:31,800 Speaker 8: four years in the league with Seattle, He's been the 608 00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:34,360 Speaker 8: primary thrust of that. But they have a Terrence Ferguson, 609 00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:38,440 Speaker 8: a rookie that also sixty six, two hundred and fifty pounds. 610 00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:43,080 Speaker 8: Becomes a matchup nightmare when you have to cover Parkinson 611 00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:45,240 Speaker 8: and Ferguson and a third tight. 612 00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:46,960 Speaker 1: End who has three touchdowns. 613 00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:49,760 Speaker 8: But I wrote for the News Tribune yesterday, I think 614 00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:53,000 Speaker 8: the Seahawks and the Seahawks think the Seahawks are uniquely 615 00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:55,560 Speaker 8: prepared for this because of Nicky un Worry in particular, 616 00:28:56,440 --> 00:28:59,080 Speaker 8: they have an asset that not of anybody else has. 617 00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:02,160 Speaker 8: They can mix and match Witherspoon and Emon Warrey on 618 00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:06,040 Speaker 8: if they go three tight ends, they could put Witherspoon 619 00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:08,680 Speaker 8: on Cook the CooA. They can even put nick demon 620 00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:12,000 Speaker 8: Warrey on Poopoo Nacoa because we've seen even Worrie even 621 00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:16,280 Speaker 8: covering Justin Jefferson. So, like I said yesterday, I think 622 00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:21,120 Speaker 8: Mike McDonald's got unlike any other defense of MINDA league. 623 00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:23,680 Speaker 8: I think he's got Sean McVay. I think we may 624 00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:24,680 Speaker 8: see that again the morrow night. 625 00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:27,480 Speaker 4: So if it is just Jones and I'm with you, 626 00:29:27,560 --> 00:29:30,160 Speaker 4: I think that the hamstrings. Those are touchy ones. I 627 00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:33,400 Speaker 4: remember in college polling one and then I came back 628 00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:35,040 Speaker 4: too soon and next thing you know, is a lingering 629 00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:36,480 Speaker 4: thing for the rest of the season. So I think 630 00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:39,520 Speaker 4: they do take those really seriously. That just Jones, is 631 00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:41,560 Speaker 4: there a drop off because I mean, looking at some 632 00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:44,200 Speaker 4: of the stats and his limited amount of time, he 633 00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:45,640 Speaker 4: actually looked pretty good out there. 634 00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:47,680 Speaker 1: He isn't good and. 635 00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:49,360 Speaker 8: That's why they signed m to be a swing tackle. 636 00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:51,600 Speaker 8: He came in the other day at right tackle when 637 00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:53,560 Speaker 8: Abe Lucas was getting checked for a few plays that 638 00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:56,520 Speaker 8: Lucas was signed to finish the game. But sure there's 639 00:29:56,520 --> 00:30:00,680 Speaker 8: a drop off. Otherwise Joshines will be starting. They have 640 00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:03,480 Speaker 8: the strength of their offensive line coming in the season 641 00:30:03,560 --> 00:30:05,920 Speaker 8: was their two starting tackles, so if one was not 642 00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:08,680 Speaker 8: gonna play in the biggest game of the year, yeah, absolutely, 643 00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:11,200 Speaker 8: that's a drop off. But again, this is why they 644 00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:13,720 Speaker 8: signed Josh Jones, a veteran who's played both sides of 645 00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:16,600 Speaker 8: the line and tackle both sides of the line of guard, 646 00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:21,080 Speaker 8: most recently for the Ravens, but for Houston and other teams. 647 00:30:21,520 --> 00:30:23,520 Speaker 8: This is why he's here. So go do what you've 648 00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:24,120 Speaker 8: been signed to do. 649 00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:28,200 Speaker 6: Greg Bellis with us our Seahawks Insider. It's interesting you 650 00:30:28,240 --> 00:30:30,720 Speaker 6: brought up the name Robbie Ootz yesterday. Maybe we'll see 651 00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:33,920 Speaker 6: more of him. I'm also thinking back to me too. Yeah, 652 00:30:33,960 --> 00:30:36,600 Speaker 6: I think I'm also thinking back to training camp when 653 00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:40,400 Speaker 6: Jalen Milroe was supposed to have a package all season long, 654 00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:43,960 Speaker 6: and we haven't heard the name Jalen Milroe in weeks. 655 00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:46,600 Speaker 2: Maybe it's pointless to ask about. 656 00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:49,920 Speaker 6: Him with such a big game tomorrow, But is there 657 00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:54,160 Speaker 6: a chance that there's a couple of little wrinkles involving 658 00:30:54,240 --> 00:30:56,920 Speaker 6: him since we've forgotten about him, and maybe the Rams 659 00:30:56,920 --> 00:30:57,520 Speaker 6: have as well. 660 00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:03,200 Speaker 8: There's a chance, but they've time. They decided that roster 661 00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:07,320 Speaker 8: spots are more important than a gimmicky third quarterback package plays. 662 00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:11,480 Speaker 8: My read on this, I've talked to Andrew Johnico, the 663 00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:15,320 Speaker 8: quarterbacks coach. I've talked to King Kubac about him. They've 664 00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:17,400 Speaker 8: decided this is basically a rich shirt year for him, 665 00:31:18,440 --> 00:31:22,640 Speaker 8: and because they're not getting consistent push and blocking in 666 00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:26,920 Speaker 8: the run game, they decided to scrap this whole experiment 667 00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:29,760 Speaker 8: for the time being. Okay, I think that's what I 668 00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:32,960 Speaker 8: think that I mean, basically, it's been If we can't 669 00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:34,760 Speaker 8: block for Kenneth Walker, why are we going to put 670 00:31:34,840 --> 00:31:37,200 Speaker 8: Jana Miller out there and try and get him beat up? 671 00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:39,880 Speaker 8: So I think that's where it's at right now, and 672 00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:41,560 Speaker 8: this is a red shirt season for him. 673 00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:42,320 Speaker 7: All right. 674 00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:45,880 Speaker 4: Well, I mean there's some concern with some of the 675 00:31:46,280 --> 00:31:50,360 Speaker 4: weather that's rolling in, obviously. I'm just the Seahawks like 676 00:31:50,440 --> 00:31:52,560 Speaker 4: to run. They like to make sure that they let 677 00:31:52,560 --> 00:31:54,880 Speaker 4: everybody know we're not afraid to run, even if it's 678 00:31:54,920 --> 00:31:58,400 Speaker 4: not being super effective, if it's really super windy. Do 679 00:31:58,480 --> 00:32:00,760 Speaker 4: you see them even double out on that more? 680 00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:07,520 Speaker 13: Unfortunately, Well unfortunately in a way yes, because unfortunately, you'd say, 681 00:32:07,560 --> 00:32:10,280 Speaker 13: because of their results forty nine yards on twenty two 682 00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:11,440 Speaker 13: carries against the Colts. 683 00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:14,960 Speaker 1: But they still lead the league in most run plays. 684 00:32:15,720 --> 00:32:18,760 Speaker 8: Forty eight percent of the time they're running, yet they're 685 00:32:18,840 --> 00:32:21,800 Speaker 8: fifth to last, and how much they're getting three point 686 00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:25,479 Speaker 8: nine yards per carry, And that's the problem. I think 687 00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:27,760 Speaker 8: they're going to I don't know to answer your question. 688 00:32:27,800 --> 00:32:29,120 Speaker 8: They're not just going to throw up their hands and 689 00:32:29,160 --> 00:32:32,440 Speaker 8: say we're not running it anymore. And the conditions tomorrow 690 00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:34,960 Speaker 8: will be such that they may even do it even more. 691 00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:40,080 Speaker 8: I think the Rams the same way. This is not 692 00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:42,440 Speaker 8: a knight. If the win the rain, they can deal 693 00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:44,959 Speaker 8: with and we've talked about that. But if this is 694 00:32:45,080 --> 00:32:48,040 Speaker 8: as windy as they're predicting, then I don't see this 695 00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:50,560 Speaker 8: as a game that Stafford throws it around forty times. 696 00:32:50,560 --> 00:32:54,320 Speaker 8: And they Seahawks have been in the run either, keep 697 00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:56,760 Speaker 8: saying it. They ain't going anywhere until they. 698 00:32:56,760 --> 00:32:57,320 Speaker 1: Run the ball. 699 00:32:58,200 --> 00:33:00,520 Speaker 8: Not winning the West, I'll have an home playff games, 700 00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:04,080 Speaker 8: not win the super Bowl if they don't win tomorrow. Guys, 701 00:33:04,800 --> 00:33:06,800 Speaker 8: the Seahawks are strong. I mean it would take a 702 00:33:06,840 --> 00:33:09,320 Speaker 8: catastrophic failure or the Rams to lose the division if 703 00:33:09,320 --> 00:33:11,680 Speaker 8: they don't win tomorrow. The Rams don't win tomorrow. But 704 00:33:11,720 --> 00:33:14,480 Speaker 8: if the Seahawks don't win tomorrow, we're looking at at Tampa, 705 00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:19,160 Speaker 8: at Chicago or Green Bay to start the playoffs. Now, 706 00:33:19,640 --> 00:33:21,880 Speaker 8: nobody is so running away with this that you can 707 00:33:21,920 --> 00:33:23,560 Speaker 8: look at any team and say, well, the Seahawks have 708 00:33:23,560 --> 00:33:24,920 Speaker 8: no chance against them. 709 00:33:25,240 --> 00:33:27,360 Speaker 1: But that's not exactly a recipe to go win the 710 00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:27,960 Speaker 1: Super Bowl. 711 00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:30,560 Speaker 8: Go to Tampa Bay, go to Chicago, and go to 712 00:33:30,600 --> 00:33:33,800 Speaker 8: whoever's left after you've won those two games. That's a 713 00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:37,200 Speaker 8: tough gauntlet to go the Seahawks can do it because 714 00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:40,280 Speaker 8: of the defense they have, but the pass is going 715 00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:43,040 Speaker 8: to get a lot harder than to win tomorrow. I 716 00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:46,280 Speaker 8: think they're going to keep running it. We'll see they 717 00:33:46,280 --> 00:33:49,720 Speaker 8: have any effectiveness at all. K Charles Cross not in 718 00:33:49,760 --> 00:33:50,400 Speaker 8: there doesn't help. 719 00:33:50,600 --> 00:33:53,120 Speaker 6: It's been so long since we've evaluated Josh Jones, and 720 00:33:53,120 --> 00:33:56,840 Speaker 6: I thought he looked terrific in the preseason, particularly, But 721 00:33:57,760 --> 00:34:00,360 Speaker 6: what I mean, if you do have to run, they 722 00:34:00,520 --> 00:34:04,240 Speaker 6: run the ball more because of weather or because of effectiveness, 723 00:34:04,240 --> 00:34:08,799 Speaker 6: whatever the case may be. Does Josh Jones? What's his profile? 724 00:34:08,920 --> 00:34:12,200 Speaker 6: Is he a better pass blocker run blocker? How would 725 00:34:12,200 --> 00:34:14,799 Speaker 6: we describe Josh Jones at this stage if he is 726 00:34:14,840 --> 00:34:17,040 Speaker 6: in fact replacing Charles Cross. 727 00:34:17,400 --> 00:34:19,720 Speaker 1: Well, it's been in the league because it was pass blocking. 728 00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:20,680 Speaker 1: It's a past league. 729 00:34:21,520 --> 00:34:24,080 Speaker 8: But the teams he's played for, Houston and Baltimore before 730 00:34:24,080 --> 00:34:26,920 Speaker 8: this particular, run the ball more than most teams do, 731 00:34:27,040 --> 00:34:30,239 Speaker 8: especially Baltimore and the Baltimore profile, even though it was 732 00:34:30,239 --> 00:34:31,640 Speaker 8: only a year or so that he was there, is 733 00:34:31,640 --> 00:34:36,960 Speaker 8: why he's with Seattle. So the answers both and again, 734 00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:39,080 Speaker 8: this is why you do this, This is why you 735 00:34:39,120 --> 00:34:42,880 Speaker 8: sign a veteran swing guy. I think called the veteran 736 00:34:43,160 --> 00:34:45,520 Speaker 8: swing guys and tackles they've had the last few years 737 00:34:46,280 --> 00:34:49,840 Speaker 8: instead of just relying on an undrafted rookie year some 738 00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:54,879 Speaker 8: roster filler guy. This is the break glass in case 739 00:34:54,920 --> 00:34:57,640 Speaker 8: of emergency guy. And that's exactly what they're going to 740 00:34:57,680 --> 00:35:00,239 Speaker 8: be looking at tomorrow. Again, they haven't ruled out Charles. 741 00:35:00,280 --> 00:35:01,200 Speaker 1: I wouldn't make that cleayer. 742 00:35:01,640 --> 00:35:03,399 Speaker 8: But with the hamsterring issue, who've seen that way? 743 00:35:04,080 --> 00:35:04,319 Speaker 7: Yeah? 744 00:35:04,440 --> 00:35:06,960 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I don't think they will, probably right 745 00:35:07,040 --> 00:35:09,840 Speaker 4: up until the end. Same with Devonte Adams. But I 746 00:35:09,880 --> 00:35:11,360 Speaker 4: have a hard time thing neither of them are going 747 00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:15,520 Speaker 4: to play in this game. We're seeing how And I've 748 00:35:15,520 --> 00:35:18,680 Speaker 4: seen something you wrote about the thirteen personnel that Sean 749 00:35:18,760 --> 00:35:22,319 Speaker 4: McVay runs. Does that play into the hands of the 750 00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:25,400 Speaker 4: Seahawks defense or is that something they're not necessarily used to. 751 00:35:26,200 --> 00:35:28,080 Speaker 1: Well, they're used. 752 00:35:27,960 --> 00:35:30,200 Speaker 8: To it now playing the Rams for a second time, 753 00:35:30,239 --> 00:35:32,200 Speaker 8: But this is the first year that McDonald or that. 754 00:35:33,080 --> 00:35:36,279 Speaker 1: McVeigh has done it. He's run according to. 755 00:35:36,440 --> 00:35:39,640 Speaker 8: Some metrics out there that measure this stuff, he's run 756 00:35:39,680 --> 00:35:44,000 Speaker 8: at two hundred and thirteen times in thirteen personnel this year. 757 00:35:44,800 --> 00:35:47,719 Speaker 8: In the eight seasons before this, he ran one hundred 758 00:35:47,760 --> 00:35:50,799 Speaker 8: and thirty times, so he's done it almost twice as 759 00:35:50,840 --> 00:35:53,280 Speaker 8: much in thirteen games as he did in eight years. 760 00:35:53,920 --> 00:35:56,320 Speaker 8: He's completely zigg well. The rest of the league zactly. 761 00:35:56,560 --> 00:36:00,080 Speaker 8: The rest of the league has been chasing mcvay's schemes 762 00:36:00,160 --> 00:36:06,240 Speaker 8: where okay, small guys, horizontal running, Pukunakua, Cooper cup running, 763 00:36:06,320 --> 00:36:12,440 Speaker 8: horizontal routes, defensive stretch from sideline to sideline. That was 764 00:36:12,480 --> 00:36:14,399 Speaker 8: what the league has been catching up to for better 765 00:36:14,440 --> 00:36:16,800 Speaker 8: part of the decade since McVeigh took over that job. 766 00:36:17,560 --> 00:36:20,399 Speaker 8: And now he's flipping and going big. And Juliane Love 767 00:36:20,480 --> 00:36:23,439 Speaker 8: mentioned this to me the other day that probably next 768 00:36:23,480 --> 00:36:25,719 Speaker 8: year two everyone else will catch up to him again 769 00:36:25,719 --> 00:36:28,319 Speaker 8: and everyone will be running thirteen personnel and he'll have 770 00:36:28,320 --> 00:36:31,480 Speaker 8: another answer for that. I do think it plays into 771 00:36:31,480 --> 00:36:34,279 Speaker 8: the Seahawks strength. I do think it puts Nick emon 772 00:36:34,320 --> 00:36:36,759 Speaker 8: Worriy on the spot. And what better guy on the 773 00:36:36,760 --> 00:36:38,840 Speaker 8: team that'd be on the spot than Nick even worry 774 00:36:39,239 --> 00:36:43,760 Speaker 8: he guy does everything and everything really well. Nicky. 775 00:36:44,080 --> 00:36:45,160 Speaker 1: He won't get it because he. 776 00:36:45,160 --> 00:36:46,760 Speaker 8: Just got in the league and he missed three games. 777 00:36:46,960 --> 00:36:49,279 Speaker 8: He should be an All Pro this year, and there 778 00:36:49,280 --> 00:36:52,839 Speaker 8: aren't many All Pro rookies that play five positions and 779 00:36:52,880 --> 00:36:56,799 Speaker 8: he does. And I knowing McDonald the way I do, 780 00:36:56,880 --> 00:36:58,719 Speaker 8: and the fact that he didn't even line up a 781 00:36:58,920 --> 00:37:03,040 Speaker 8: defensive end against the I think looking back to McDonald 782 00:37:03,120 --> 00:37:03,960 Speaker 8: put even Worry. 783 00:37:03,760 --> 00:37:05,920 Speaker 1: At defensive end against the Vikings. 784 00:37:05,560 --> 00:37:08,600 Speaker 8: To make McVeigh spend time having to scout that and 785 00:37:08,760 --> 00:37:12,480 Speaker 8: come up with an answer for that. This week, he 786 00:37:12,800 --> 00:37:16,920 Speaker 8: even worry has been better than we I McDonald anyone 787 00:37:16,960 --> 00:37:19,720 Speaker 8: thought he was going to be because of his adaptability 788 00:37:19,760 --> 00:37:23,120 Speaker 8: and how quickly he's grasped every single thing McDonald has 789 00:37:23,160 --> 00:37:23,759 Speaker 8: given him. 790 00:37:24,120 --> 00:37:26,239 Speaker 1: He's gonna give him something new tomorrow. I mean, hell, 791 00:37:26,320 --> 00:37:26,719 Speaker 1: he might be. 792 00:37:26,760 --> 00:37:29,880 Speaker 8: Playing nose tackle tomorrow, but they will bring up something 793 00:37:29,920 --> 00:37:32,920 Speaker 8: tomorrow that he hasn't seen. McVeigh has not seen from 794 00:37:32,960 --> 00:37:35,080 Speaker 8: his defense and Nick Emon Worry's gonna be involved in it. 795 00:37:35,239 --> 00:37:36,719 Speaker 6: Yeah, I was going to ask you about that to 796 00:37:36,760 --> 00:37:39,919 Speaker 6: close out our conversation today. You've hinted about how Mike 797 00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:42,080 Speaker 6: McDonald might have a couple of tricks up this leeve 798 00:37:42,160 --> 00:37:44,880 Speaker 6: that he's been saving all season long for you know, 799 00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:48,040 Speaker 6: this moment in the year. I know if you mentioned 800 00:37:48,040 --> 00:37:49,960 Speaker 6: specifics you'll probably get in trouble. 801 00:37:50,040 --> 00:37:51,600 Speaker 2: So in general, though, what. 802 00:37:51,520 --> 00:37:55,120 Speaker 6: Do you what what should we expect that we haven't 803 00:37:55,160 --> 00:37:55,800 Speaker 6: seen before? 804 00:37:56,800 --> 00:37:59,480 Speaker 8: Nick even worry all over, maybe in the middle of 805 00:37:59,480 --> 00:38:01,759 Speaker 8: the defense more than he's been. He's mainly been on 806 00:38:01,800 --> 00:38:05,439 Speaker 8: the edge, including in his defensive end cameo, but he's 807 00:38:05,440 --> 00:38:07,920 Speaker 8: mostly been on the edge. Think about his blitzing from 808 00:38:07,920 --> 00:38:14,920 Speaker 8: outside slot corner. He may be more of an inside lineback. 809 00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:17,359 Speaker 8: He's done inside linebacker with Ernest Jones is the only two. 810 00:38:17,280 --> 00:38:17,759 Speaker 1: Off the ball. 811 00:38:17,800 --> 00:38:20,839 Speaker 8: Guys, I think you're gonna see Devin Witherspoon blitz more. 812 00:38:21,719 --> 00:38:24,640 Speaker 8: He hasn't blitzed a lot this year, but because some 813 00:38:24,680 --> 00:38:27,239 Speaker 8: of that's because of even Waror's presence. But you may 814 00:38:27,280 --> 00:38:30,760 Speaker 8: see them switch and have the Witherspoon blitz and even 815 00:38:30,800 --> 00:38:32,839 Speaker 8: Worriy come off the line and play a little more 816 00:38:32,880 --> 00:38:36,040 Speaker 8: coverage than he's been doing. And they still have this 817 00:38:36,160 --> 00:38:38,319 Speaker 8: wild card as they keep mixing a match. And now 818 00:38:38,400 --> 00:38:42,879 Speaker 8: the new wildcard is three cornerbacks rotating them. Rieke Woad 819 00:38:42,920 --> 00:38:44,800 Speaker 8: will come in at times and be the outside corner 820 00:38:44,800 --> 00:38:48,440 Speaker 8: with Witherspoon. Other drives it'll be job in Witherspoon. Other 821 00:38:48,520 --> 00:38:52,440 Speaker 8: drives it'll be Woolen and job. I think you might 822 00:38:52,480 --> 00:38:56,560 Speaker 8: see more dying tomorrow night, and if they go dine, 823 00:38:56,800 --> 00:39:01,120 Speaker 8: Kyrien Williams might have thirty carries. That's how McVeigh answers 824 00:39:01,440 --> 00:39:05,319 Speaker 8: sub packages, nickel and dime. He runs and he tries 825 00:39:05,360 --> 00:39:07,120 Speaker 8: to take you out of nickel and dimes so he 826 00:39:07,160 --> 00:39:10,200 Speaker 8: can throw again. And he's got to back Hian Williams 827 00:39:10,200 --> 00:39:12,560 Speaker 8: and an offensive line that can get guys out of 828 00:39:12,560 --> 00:39:14,520 Speaker 8: sub packages. The problem is Seahwks never get out of 829 00:39:14,520 --> 00:39:16,520 Speaker 8: sub packages. They play him ninety percent of the time. 830 00:39:17,200 --> 00:39:20,880 Speaker 8: So because they have Emon Worry as basically a linebacker 831 00:39:21,600 --> 00:39:25,440 Speaker 8: sometimes even a defensive end, McDonald's not going to get 832 00:39:25,440 --> 00:39:28,160 Speaker 8: out of nickel and dime because of Eemon Worry. And 833 00:39:28,160 --> 00:39:31,520 Speaker 8: that's gonna So there's this chess game within the chess 834 00:39:31,560 --> 00:39:34,279 Speaker 8: game that mcvay' is not used to.

Sports Radio ninety 872 00:41:21,160 --> 00:41:24,280 Speaker 6: three point three KJRFM. Biggest game of the year, Bason, 873 00:41:24,360 --> 00:41:26,160 Speaker 6: doesn't mean it's going to be the biggest game of 874 00:41:26,239 --> 00:41:30,040 Speaker 6: the regular season. That forty nine Ers game still looms, 875 00:41:30,200 --> 00:41:32,439 Speaker 6: and so that might end up being the biggest game 876 00:41:32,719 --> 00:41:35,880 Speaker 6: of the year to close out the regular season. But 877 00:41:35,920 --> 00:41:38,520 Speaker 6: for right now, what's in front of us, this thing 878 00:41:38,960 --> 00:41:41,960 Speaker 6: is huge. And I've been saying now for several weeks 879 00:41:42,440 --> 00:41:46,120 Speaker 6: that I thought the Seahawks outplayed the Los Angeles Rams 880 00:41:46,120 --> 00:41:48,800 Speaker 6: the last time that they met, and the only difference 881 00:41:49,080 --> 00:41:53,000 Speaker 6: was that the Rams won the game twenty one to nineteen. 882 00:41:53,040 --> 00:41:54,879 Speaker 6: I mean, that's what it's about, is winning the game. 883 00:41:55,000 --> 00:41:58,360 Speaker 6: So I gave them credit for winning the game, but 884 00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:01,400 Speaker 6: I went back to my oats from that contest, and 885 00:42:01,440 --> 00:42:03,960 Speaker 6: I have all sorts of notes, and the very last 886 00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:07,960 Speaker 6: thing that I wrote on the page Rams twenty one 887 00:42:08,520 --> 00:42:12,640 Speaker 6: Seahawks nineteen great game underlined and then I. 888 00:42:12,600 --> 00:42:15,840 Speaker 2: Wrote, We're better. That's what I wrote right there. 889 00:42:15,920 --> 00:42:19,000 Speaker 6: And I do believe that, and I look at the 890 00:42:19,200 --> 00:42:23,360 Speaker 6: numbers and that game, the Seahawks had twenty six first 891 00:42:23,480 --> 00:42:28,040 Speaker 6: downs to the Rams twelve more than twice. We had 892 00:42:28,120 --> 00:42:31,680 Speaker 6: seventy nine total plays to their fifty. We kept the 893 00:42:31,719 --> 00:42:36,160 Speaker 6: ball for thirty eight minutes to their twenty two. Matt Stafford, 894 00:42:36,200 --> 00:42:39,280 Speaker 6: who's been the MVP of the season to this point 895 00:42:39,320 --> 00:42:41,360 Speaker 6: in the year, you gonna have your Drake May to me, 896 00:42:41,440 --> 00:42:44,360 Speaker 6: Matt Stafford's been the MVP of the National Football League. 897 00:42:44,480 --> 00:42:47,880 Speaker 6: Mike McDonald's defense held him to one hundred and thirty 898 00:42:47,920 --> 00:42:51,280 Speaker 6: passing yards. Sam Darnold had two hundred and seventy nine 899 00:42:52,080 --> 00:42:55,760 Speaker 6: that day. I mean, that is just that's just working 900 00:42:55,840 --> 00:42:58,880 Speaker 6: them four hundred and fourteen yards to two hundred and 901 00:42:58,880 --> 00:43:02,160 Speaker 6: forty nine. We were seven for sixteen on third down, 902 00:43:02,280 --> 00:43:05,480 Speaker 6: they were two for eleven. I mean, those statistics said 903 00:43:05,480 --> 00:43:08,239 Speaker 6: that we should Those statistics say that we should have 904 00:43:08,280 --> 00:43:11,640 Speaker 6: won the game by fourteen to fifteen points, yeah, against 905 00:43:11,680 --> 00:43:14,000 Speaker 6: the Los Angeles Rams, and yet we lost by two. 906 00:43:14,600 --> 00:43:19,200 Speaker 2: That was the Sam Donald interception game. That was for interceptions. 907 00:43:19,239 --> 00:43:21,600 Speaker 6: That's the cliche that we're not allowed to use on 908 00:43:21,719 --> 00:43:25,400 Speaker 6: Fridays when we preview a game that, no matter how 909 00:43:25,600 --> 00:43:28,400 Speaker 6: well it might go, if you lose a turnover battle 910 00:43:28,480 --> 00:43:31,360 Speaker 6: four to one against a good team that is well coached, 911 00:43:31,600 --> 00:43:34,320 Speaker 6: you're probably going to lose that football game, no matter 912 00:43:34,320 --> 00:43:37,319 Speaker 6: how much better that you play than them. But the 913 00:43:37,400 --> 00:43:40,560 Speaker 6: numbers all suggest that on the road, the Seahawks were 914 00:43:40,600 --> 00:43:43,239 Speaker 6: the better team that day. The difference is that the 915 00:43:43,320 --> 00:43:46,120 Speaker 6: Rams came away with the victory. And so you know, 916 00:43:46,280 --> 00:43:48,040 Speaker 6: here we sat with a chance for a little bit 917 00:43:48,040 --> 00:43:50,239 Speaker 6: of revenge. I realized that weather is going to play 918 00:43:50,239 --> 00:43:53,320 Speaker 6: a factor and that that could, you know, certainly alter 919 00:43:53,480 --> 00:43:56,720 Speaker 6: the game, may lead to even more turnovers from Sam Darnald. 920 00:43:56,880 --> 00:43:59,520 Speaker 6: But I'm just gonna say it, this is reckless at breakfast, right, 921 00:43:59,719 --> 00:44:02,560 Speaker 6: we lose the turnover battle, we are winning this game 922 00:44:02,600 --> 00:44:04,239 Speaker 6: tomorrow and we are winning. 923 00:44:03,920 --> 00:44:07,000 Speaker 7: The NFC West. Well, there's a good chance. 924 00:44:07,040 --> 00:44:08,719 Speaker 4: I mean, obviously you can't do it the way that 925 00:44:08,760 --> 00:44:11,080 Speaker 4: you did last game, and I wouldn't expect that to 926 00:44:11,200 --> 00:44:14,359 Speaker 4: be the case, I wouldn't expect Sam Darnold to turn it. 927 00:44:14,280 --> 00:44:17,239 Speaker 7: Over four times. And yeah, I think that you're right there. 928 00:44:17,400 --> 00:44:19,399 Speaker 4: I mean I think on any given day, I think 929 00:44:19,440 --> 00:44:21,120 Speaker 4: either one of these teams, this is one of those 930 00:44:21,160 --> 00:44:23,640 Speaker 4: coin flips to me of which team's gonna win. Now, 931 00:44:23,960 --> 00:44:26,360 Speaker 4: you got to go out ex execute game plan. You 932 00:44:26,400 --> 00:44:28,600 Speaker 4: obviously can't be giving them, you know, I think what 933 00:44:28,680 --> 00:44:31,239 Speaker 4: it was the first interception ended up where they ran 934 00:44:31,239 --> 00:44:32,759 Speaker 4: it back to the three yard line. I mean, so 935 00:44:33,320 --> 00:44:37,040 Speaker 4: that was an immediate advantage rams right there. And like 936 00:44:37,080 --> 00:44:38,719 Speaker 4: you said, when you come out on the end and 937 00:44:38,760 --> 00:44:41,840 Speaker 4: you're just lost by two, you can find one or 938 00:44:41,880 --> 00:44:45,640 Speaker 4: two plays, just two of those interceptions, and you're probably 939 00:44:45,680 --> 00:44:47,839 Speaker 4: going to end up winning that ball game because two 940 00:44:47,920 --> 00:44:49,480 Speaker 4: of them gave them a short field that they ended 941 00:44:49,560 --> 00:44:52,960 Speaker 4: up scoring touchdowns on. So I think that, yeah, you 942 00:44:53,000 --> 00:44:54,920 Speaker 4: go out there and play the game. If everything was 943 00:44:54,960 --> 00:44:57,239 Speaker 4: the same, right, like, you play the same game you 944 00:44:57,239 --> 00:44:59,920 Speaker 4: played last time, they played the same game they played. 945 00:45:00,200 --> 00:45:02,040 Speaker 7: You just don't turn it over four times. 946 00:45:02,040 --> 00:45:04,480 Speaker 4: You can still cough it up once possibly or twice 947 00:45:05,080 --> 00:45:07,279 Speaker 4: you end up winning that ball game. That said is 948 00:45:07,520 --> 00:45:09,600 Speaker 4: both teams are going to make the adjustments. This is 949 00:45:09,640 --> 00:45:12,040 Speaker 4: The beauty of it to me is that they hired 950 00:45:12,040 --> 00:45:15,440 Speaker 4: Mike McDonald to figure out the Sean McVay thing and 951 00:45:15,520 --> 00:45:18,959 Speaker 4: the Shanahan thing. He seems like he did it last game, 952 00:45:19,080 --> 00:45:20,640 Speaker 4: just didn't come out on the winning edge of it. 953 00:45:20,640 --> 00:45:21,799 Speaker 7: Now you got to figure out a way to come 954 00:45:21,800 --> 00:45:22,440 Speaker 7: out on the win too. 955 00:45:22,760 --> 00:45:24,520 Speaker 9: And that's the one thing that we heard so many 956 00:45:24,520 --> 00:45:27,160 Speaker 9: times after that loss, right, is oh, if only they 957 00:45:27,160 --> 00:45:30,200 Speaker 9: would have turned it over only three times, like they 958 00:45:30,280 --> 00:45:32,319 Speaker 9: really would have had a they probably would have won 959 00:45:32,360 --> 00:45:34,200 Speaker 9: the game if they would have only had three turnovers. 960 00:45:34,239 --> 00:45:37,600 Speaker 9: And so I do agree, it'll be interesting to see 961 00:45:38,480 --> 00:45:42,080 Speaker 9: just how well Sam can perform and how much weather 962 00:45:42,200 --> 00:45:42,760 Speaker 9: is a factor. 963 00:45:42,880 --> 00:45:47,600 Speaker 6: And all, I'm perfectly willing to lose a turnover battle 964 00:45:47,880 --> 00:45:51,319 Speaker 6: every single week by one turnover if it means that 965 00:45:51,400 --> 00:45:56,000 Speaker 6: my quarterback is playing confidently and is dropping back and 966 00:45:56,120 --> 00:45:56,680 Speaker 6: zipping the. 967 00:45:56,640 --> 00:45:58,440 Speaker 10: Ball, and it sure seemed like he was in that 968 00:45:58,440 --> 00:45:58,879 Speaker 10: first game. 969 00:45:59,000 --> 00:46:02,400 Speaker 6: And look, as many turnovers as Sam Donald has committed 970 00:46:02,440 --> 00:46:04,880 Speaker 6: this year, I don't want to trade the way that 971 00:46:04,960 --> 00:46:07,920 Speaker 6: he's played to get those turnovers back. 972 00:46:08,200 --> 00:46:08,880 Speaker 2: I just don't. 973 00:46:08,960 --> 00:46:12,280 Speaker 6: I think that it's been a far We've benefited far 974 00:46:12,400 --> 00:46:16,279 Speaker 6: more in Seattle from Sam Donald's aggressive play than what 975 00:46:16,400 --> 00:46:19,440 Speaker 6: we've been hurt by it. On that particular day, there 976 00:46:19,520 --> 00:46:22,560 Speaker 6: was no getting around it. Sam Donald cost the Seahawks 977 00:46:22,600 --> 00:46:25,560 Speaker 6: the game against the Los Angeles Rams because it was 978 00:46:25,680 --> 00:46:29,320 Speaker 6: minus three. Yeah, I mean, there wasn't a time where 979 00:46:29,520 --> 00:46:33,600 Speaker 6: I mean, certainly Mike Holmgren tried to rein in Brett Favre. 980 00:46:33,880 --> 00:46:37,200 Speaker 6: We don't want to lose the turnover battle by two 981 00:46:37,280 --> 00:46:40,520 Speaker 6: turnovers or more every game because you've decided to go 982 00:46:40,560 --> 00:46:43,280 Speaker 6: out here and think you can throw passes through brick 983 00:46:43,360 --> 00:46:45,520 Speaker 6: walls and have them come out on the other side 984 00:46:45,800 --> 00:46:47,160 Speaker 6: in Sterling Sharp's hands. 985 00:46:47,360 --> 00:46:50,240 Speaker 2: He had to rein that in, but he never reined 986 00:46:50,280 --> 00:46:52,400 Speaker 2: it into the point that he wanted. 987 00:46:52,000 --> 00:46:54,879 Speaker 6: To take the fire out of the stallion. And that, 988 00:46:55,000 --> 00:46:58,640 Speaker 6: to me is what we're dealing with with Sam Donald. 989 00:46:58,960 --> 00:47:02,560 Speaker 6: You can't lose the turnover battle by minus three. You 990 00:47:02,600 --> 00:47:05,880 Speaker 6: can't turn the ball over four times against quality teams. 991 00:47:05,920 --> 00:47:07,960 Speaker 6: You can't even turn the ball over four times against 992 00:47:08,000 --> 00:47:09,000 Speaker 6: bad teams. 993 00:47:08,880 --> 00:47:09,760 Speaker 2: In this league. 994 00:47:10,239 --> 00:47:12,520 Speaker 6: And yet I don't want you to change the thing 995 00:47:12,600 --> 00:47:15,520 Speaker 6: you play the way that you've been playing, because I 996 00:47:15,560 --> 00:47:19,320 Speaker 6: think we're gonna benefit a lot more from aggressive Sam Darnold, 997 00:47:19,960 --> 00:47:24,319 Speaker 6: Even living with a turnover or two tomorrow night, than 998 00:47:24,360 --> 00:47:26,279 Speaker 6: we are if he comes out and we just try 999 00:47:26,280 --> 00:47:28,800 Speaker 6: to establish the run all day and Sam plays a 1000 00:47:28,840 --> 00:47:30,359 Speaker 6: game where he's trying to avoid. 1001 00:47:30,040 --> 00:47:32,880 Speaker 7: Interceptions, I mean, yeah, you don't want him play and scared. 1002 00:47:32,920 --> 00:47:33,839 Speaker 7: I agree with you on that. 1003 00:47:33,960 --> 00:47:36,359 Speaker 4: I think not all turnovers are created the same, right, 1004 00:47:36,440 --> 00:47:39,080 Speaker 4: You can't. Don't be going down there and doing what 1005 00:47:39,120 --> 00:47:40,960 Speaker 4: we watched Gino do the last couple of years, which 1006 00:47:40,960 --> 00:47:44,960 Speaker 4: is when you got points on the board, throwing erratic 1007 00:47:45,040 --> 00:47:48,200 Speaker 4: passes or unadvised passes, and don't do it when you're 1008 00:47:48,239 --> 00:47:50,239 Speaker 4: backed up against your own goal line where all of 1009 00:47:50,239 --> 00:47:52,040 Speaker 4: a sudden they have a three yards to score a 1010 00:47:52,040 --> 00:47:53,680 Speaker 4: touchdown or they get the ball to twenty five. 1011 00:47:53,719 --> 00:47:55,640 Speaker 7: That's going to equate to trouble too. 1012 00:47:55,680 --> 00:47:57,600 Speaker 4: But you still want to be that gunslinger and then 1013 00:47:57,719 --> 00:48:00,759 Speaker 4: understand when is the time that you just can't the gunslinger? 1014 00:48:00,840 --> 00:48:01,319 Speaker 7: All right? 1015 00:48:01,840 --> 00:48:02,880 Speaker 2: Coming up next? 1016 00:48:03,360 --> 00:48:05,920 Speaker 6: If this is a win tomorrow, I was asked this 1017 00:48:06,000 --> 00:48:08,719 Speaker 6: question yesterday on our airwaves. Does that mean it's a 1018 00:48:08,840 --> 00:48:12,040 Speaker 6: super Bowl or bust season for the Seahawks. We'll discuss 1019 00:48:12,080 --> 00:48:14,200 Speaker 6: it on Chucking Buck Sports Radio ninety three point three 1020 00:48:14,280 --> 00:48:32,160 Speaker 6: kJ RFM, Frida eight o'clock our here on this humpday. 1021 00:48:32,280 --> 00:48:35,080 Speaker 6: We still will green Jacket draft, will preview the college 1022 00:48:35,120 --> 00:48:38,520 Speaker 6: football playoff coming up in a little bit. Also, we 1023 00:48:38,560 --> 00:48:42,320 Speaker 6: talked some NBA expansion that news coming out to yesterday 1024 00:48:42,440 --> 00:48:47,560 Speaker 6: from Adam Silver as he was there present for the 1025 00:48:47,680 --> 00:48:50,440 Speaker 6: NBA Cup, which is an awesome event. 1026 00:48:52,280 --> 00:48:54,920 Speaker 9: It's maybe one of the better events any sports league's 1027 00:48:54,920 --> 00:48:57,040 Speaker 9: ever come up with in the way they do that 1028 00:48:57,239 --> 00:49:01,799 Speaker 9: in season chairman, I love it other games and then 1029 00:49:01,920 --> 00:49:06,239 Speaker 9: they get so into it that they paint those immaculate floors. 1030 00:49:05,760 --> 00:49:08,560 Speaker 2: Right that aren't gaudy at all. 1031 00:49:08,840 --> 00:49:10,640 Speaker 10: Don't make me want to close my eyes. 1032 00:49:10,760 --> 00:49:14,120 Speaker 6: Yeah, don't give us a headache when we watch. It's 1033 00:49:14,160 --> 00:49:18,480 Speaker 6: an awesome event. Keep doing it, Adam Silver. Everything you 1034 00:49:18,640 --> 00:49:20,160 Speaker 6: touch turns to gold. 1035 00:49:22,280 --> 00:49:22,480 Speaker 7: Yeah. 1036 00:49:22,640 --> 00:49:25,000 Speaker 10: Yeah, you're not even remotely alien. 1037 00:49:24,719 --> 00:49:25,759 Speaker 2: Like, right right. 1038 00:49:27,520 --> 00:49:31,959 Speaker 6: The NBA Cup was a brilliant idea from a brilliant man. 1039 00:49:32,320 --> 00:49:36,400 Speaker 2: Bravoser, brav you are on a roll. Keep the good 1040 00:49:36,440 --> 00:49:40,160 Speaker 2: ideas coming. This statement was not red. 1041 00:49:42,239 --> 00:49:45,759 Speaker 6: So yes, we did get some news on that front 1042 00:49:45,800 --> 00:49:48,760 Speaker 6: that a decision will be made in the year twenty 1043 00:49:48,800 --> 00:49:51,840 Speaker 6: twenty six in regards to expansion. He's not going to 1044 00:49:51,880 --> 00:49:55,319 Speaker 6: put Vegas and Seattle through that any longer. So we'll 1045 00:49:55,360 --> 00:49:57,279 Speaker 6: talk about that a little bit later on in the hour, 1046 00:49:57,400 --> 00:49:59,680 Speaker 6: start to get into it. But of course, we have 1047 00:49:59,800 --> 00:50:03,920 Speaker 6: a monstrous football game that's going to take place tomorrow. 1048 00:50:03,960 --> 00:50:08,040 Speaker 6: I was asked on our very airwaves yesterday that if 1049 00:50:08,120 --> 00:50:12,640 Speaker 6: this turns out to be a victory tomorrow, does it 1050 00:50:12,719 --> 00:50:16,600 Speaker 6: turn into a super Bowl or bust. 1051 00:50:16,160 --> 00:50:19,080 Speaker 2: Season for the Seattle Seahawks. 1052 00:50:19,760 --> 00:50:22,000 Speaker 6: I hadn't even given that any thought, just kind of 1053 00:50:22,000 --> 00:50:24,040 Speaker 6: had to come up with an answer on the spot. 1054 00:50:24,160 --> 00:50:28,040 Speaker 6: But my immediate reaction was no. And I do think 1055 00:50:28,120 --> 00:50:31,160 Speaker 6: that there are teams that do face that. I think 1056 00:50:31,160 --> 00:50:33,719 Speaker 6: that there are teams out there that super Bowl or busts. 1057 00:50:33,719 --> 00:50:37,040 Speaker 6: I think the Kansas City Chiefs have won so much. 1058 00:50:37,080 --> 00:50:40,279 Speaker 6: I don't think that finishing runner up or making it 1059 00:50:40,320 --> 00:50:44,520 Speaker 6: to the semifinals of the AFC is satisfying for them. 1060 00:50:44,920 --> 00:50:48,080 Speaker 6: It probably is good if the Chiefs are on decline 1061 00:50:48,120 --> 00:50:51,280 Speaker 6: that they're busting out right now. I think it's given 1062 00:50:51,400 --> 00:50:55,080 Speaker 6: them a clear indication that, you know, we just can't 1063 00:50:55,120 --> 00:50:58,640 Speaker 6: just adjust a few things. We probably do need to 1064 00:50:58,719 --> 00:51:03,600 Speaker 6: make some serious change roster wise, maybe even coaching staff 1065 00:51:03,600 --> 00:51:06,280 Speaker 6: wise going forward. I think that has forced them into 1066 00:51:06,360 --> 00:51:10,879 Speaker 6: a situation where hey, we win super Bowls around here, 1067 00:51:10,920 --> 00:51:14,560 Speaker 6: and if we're not even close, we gotta reconvene. We 1068 00:51:14,640 --> 00:51:16,959 Speaker 6: got to gather up, and we got to try to 1069 00:51:16,960 --> 00:51:18,919 Speaker 6: see what it takes to get back on that path. 1070 00:51:19,080 --> 00:51:21,799 Speaker 6: I think the Buffalo Bills are a super Bowl or 1071 00:51:21,920 --> 00:51:25,160 Speaker 6: bust kind of team. I think that the Buffalo Bills 1072 00:51:25,200 --> 00:51:27,800 Speaker 6: don't win the Super Bowl this year, especially with the 1073 00:51:27,880 --> 00:51:33,120 Speaker 6: Chiefs not in their path and potentially Lamar Jackson not 1074 00:51:33,320 --> 00:51:36,520 Speaker 6: in their path and Joe Burrow not in their path. 1075 00:51:36,560 --> 00:51:39,320 Speaker 6: If Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills don't win the 1076 00:51:39,440 --> 00:51:44,160 Speaker 6: championship this year, then that mountain toward the championship looks 1077 00:51:44,200 --> 00:51:45,040 Speaker 6: even larger. 1078 00:51:45,160 --> 00:51:45,800 Speaker 2: Next season. 1079 00:51:46,200 --> 00:51:51,440 Speaker 6: The climb looks even steeper, the challenge looks even more daunting, 1080 00:51:51,520 --> 00:51:54,440 Speaker 6: the pressure gets even greater on them, the weight and 1081 00:51:54,520 --> 00:51:57,840 Speaker 6: their backpacks as they climb that ill gets even heavier, 1082 00:51:58,440 --> 00:52:00,720 Speaker 6: and so for them, I think, I think it's boom 1083 00:52:00,840 --> 00:52:04,360 Speaker 6: or bust. I think that anything short of a Super 1084 00:52:04,400 --> 00:52:08,160 Speaker 6: Bowl championship for Buffalo this year is a disaster. It's 1085 00:52:08,200 --> 00:52:10,600 Speaker 6: a failure, and I don't like saying that. You know, 1086 00:52:10,880 --> 00:52:12,799 Speaker 6: I think that a lot of fan bases get into 1087 00:52:12,840 --> 00:52:14,799 Speaker 6: this habit of if we don't win a championship, anything 1088 00:52:14,800 --> 00:52:17,279 Speaker 6: about a championship's a failure. I don't see that being 1089 00:52:17,280 --> 00:52:19,120 Speaker 6: the case, and I don't see that being the case 1090 00:52:19,120 --> 00:52:21,960 Speaker 6: with the Seahawks either. I think that they're ahead of 1091 00:52:21,960 --> 00:52:26,680 Speaker 6: schedule and the Mike McDonald era. I think that they 1092 00:52:26,760 --> 00:52:28,840 Speaker 6: win this they get home field advantage, they got a 1093 00:52:28,840 --> 00:52:31,839 Speaker 6: good chance to get into the super Bowl. But no 1094 00:52:31,840 --> 00:52:35,359 Speaker 6: matter how this thing ends this year, sure it can 1095 00:52:35,440 --> 00:52:39,000 Speaker 6: have the taste of disappointment, but I think that you 1096 00:52:39,080 --> 00:52:42,160 Speaker 6: start next season feeling like, man, we might be the 1097 00:52:42,239 --> 00:52:42,960 Speaker 6: team to beat. 1098 00:52:43,080 --> 00:52:45,359 Speaker 2: I think it's a growth period for them. 1099 00:52:45,680 --> 00:52:48,000 Speaker 6: Even if you lose your last game of the year 1100 00:52:48,040 --> 00:52:51,200 Speaker 6: this year, I think this has been a highly successful 1101 00:52:51,280 --> 00:52:54,040 Speaker 6: year and it points in such a positive direction for 1102 00:52:54,120 --> 00:52:56,640 Speaker 6: this team that No, I don't think this is a 1103 00:52:56,719 --> 00:52:59,520 Speaker 6: super Bowl or bust season for this football team. 1104 00:53:00,080 --> 00:53:01,960 Speaker 4: I don't think it's a super Bowl or bus team either. 1105 00:53:02,000 --> 00:53:04,320 Speaker 4: I mean a season for this team. I think the 1106 00:53:04,400 --> 00:53:08,640 Speaker 4: team very likely could go all the way. To me, 1107 00:53:08,760 --> 00:53:10,840 Speaker 4: I think there's you know, when you're just talking about 1108 00:53:10,880 --> 00:53:13,120 Speaker 4: some of the teams Kansas City, I think theirs is 1109 00:53:13,200 --> 00:53:16,160 Speaker 4: legitimately win the Super Bowl, or it's not what we 1110 00:53:16,239 --> 00:53:17,200 Speaker 4: think we're capable of. 1111 00:53:17,719 --> 00:53:19,320 Speaker 7: I think they're the only team that probably has a 1112 00:53:19,360 --> 00:53:19,960 Speaker 7: win Super Bowl. 1113 00:53:19,960 --> 00:53:22,520 Speaker 4: I think Buffalo Bills would be like a they need 1114 00:53:22,560 --> 00:53:25,120 Speaker 4: to get there, especially now that they don't have Mahomes 1115 00:53:25,160 --> 00:53:27,440 Speaker 4: in the way, which has been the bugaboo and then 1116 00:53:27,520 --> 00:53:30,600 Speaker 4: the occasional burrow or one time burrow and that them 1117 00:53:30,680 --> 00:53:33,560 Speaker 4: jumping up there and sniper and knocking. 1118 00:53:33,640 --> 00:53:35,520 Speaker 7: The Chiefs off that pedestal. 1119 00:53:35,560 --> 00:53:38,799 Speaker 4: I think this is the best opportunity for them, and 1120 00:53:38,880 --> 00:53:41,640 Speaker 4: yet I don't see. I think maybe the Rams might 1121 00:53:41,640 --> 00:53:43,759 Speaker 4: be the next closest thing, but that's because they have 1122 00:53:43,840 --> 00:53:47,120 Speaker 4: won one recently, and they have a veteran quarterback and 1123 00:53:47,160 --> 00:53:50,320 Speaker 4: aging quarterback. They kind of that's not a new coach. 1124 00:53:50,400 --> 00:53:52,799 Speaker 4: They know who they are, they know what they bring 1125 00:53:52,840 --> 00:53:56,440 Speaker 4: to the table. They feel probably coming into the season, hey, 1126 00:53:56,719 --> 00:53:58,799 Speaker 4: let's do what we got to do and see how 1127 00:53:58,880 --> 00:54:01,239 Speaker 4: maybe some of the bounces go here and there, and 1128 00:54:01,280 --> 00:54:03,640 Speaker 4: if we find ourselves, you know, up there in the 1129 00:54:03,640 --> 00:54:06,239 Speaker 4: top of the NFC. You know, we feel like we 1130 00:54:06,320 --> 00:54:08,120 Speaker 4: have a good as good of a chance as anybody 1131 00:54:08,160 --> 00:54:10,520 Speaker 4: else in the NFC to get to the Super Bowl. 1132 00:54:10,640 --> 00:54:12,279 Speaker 4: But I don't know for sure if they're even in 1133 00:54:12,320 --> 00:54:15,040 Speaker 4: that category that I would put the Chiefs prior to 1134 00:54:15,080 --> 00:54:17,360 Speaker 4: the season starting of it's win it all or not. 1135 00:54:17,800 --> 00:54:18,239 Speaker 7: I think this. 1136 00:54:18,560 --> 00:54:20,680 Speaker 4: I think the Seahawks, it could a lot could weigh 1137 00:54:20,840 --> 00:54:24,200 Speaker 4: in how the next three games go of whether or 1138 00:54:24,239 --> 00:54:26,520 Speaker 4: not this is a I think this team, no matter 1139 00:54:26,600 --> 00:54:28,840 Speaker 4: how the next three games go, is going to be 1140 00:54:28,840 --> 00:54:31,080 Speaker 4: in the playoffs, and they're they're going to be a 1141 00:54:31,160 --> 00:54:33,319 Speaker 4: dangerous team because of how good that defense is, even 1142 00:54:33,360 --> 00:54:34,839 Speaker 4: if they have to go on the road. We've seen 1143 00:54:34,880 --> 00:54:37,319 Speaker 4: under Mike McDonald the going on the road doesn't seem 1144 00:54:37,360 --> 00:54:38,560 Speaker 4: to be a giant issue now. 1145 00:54:38,880 --> 00:54:39,440 Speaker 7: Going on the. 1146 00:54:39,440 --> 00:54:45,240 Speaker 4: Road in whether during in January against playoff caliber teams 1147 00:54:45,360 --> 00:54:48,080 Speaker 4: is a different thing than going to New Orleans, you know, 1148 00:54:48,200 --> 00:54:50,920 Speaker 4: for a game or something along those lines. So to me, 1149 00:54:51,000 --> 00:54:53,279 Speaker 4: I think that the Seattle I think the Seahawks have 1150 00:54:53,360 --> 00:54:55,799 Speaker 4: played themselves with three weeks left to the end of 1151 00:54:55,800 --> 00:54:59,520 Speaker 4: the season into I could legitimately see how in the 1152 00:54:59,560 --> 00:55:01,960 Speaker 4: next two weeks we're talking about this is the best 1153 00:55:02,000 --> 00:55:04,880 Speaker 4: team in the NFL possibly and so getting to the 1154 00:55:04,920 --> 00:55:07,759 Speaker 4: super Bowl. Anything less than that could be disappointing, but 1155 00:55:07,880 --> 00:55:08,839 Speaker 4: not necessarily bust. 1156 00:55:08,880 --> 00:55:10,680 Speaker 7: And winning the super Bowl is a whole different ball game. 1157 00:55:10,680 --> 00:55:13,360 Speaker 4: I don't think there's anybody that's left in the equation 1158 00:55:13,880 --> 00:55:16,200 Speaker 4: that should be thinking, if we don't win the super. 1159 00:55:15,920 --> 00:55:17,240 Speaker 7: Bowl, it's a failed season. 1160 00:55:17,280 --> 00:55:19,480 Speaker 4: I just I think there's really one team and that's 1161 00:55:19,560 --> 00:55:23,279 Speaker 4: Kansasy Chiefs that maybe should have even Buffalo in that. 1162 00:55:23,360 --> 00:55:26,000 Speaker 6: Yeah, I put Buffalo in that because if Buffalo doesn't 1163 00:55:26,040 --> 00:55:28,719 Speaker 6: win it this year, like I said, everything looks more 1164 00:55:28,719 --> 00:55:31,360 Speaker 6: difficult for them, and I think Sean McDermott does get fired. 1165 00:55:31,480 --> 00:55:33,040 Speaker 6: I think that they would get to the end of 1166 00:55:33,080 --> 00:55:36,640 Speaker 6: the season and say where can't win it With Sean McDermott. 1167 00:55:36,719 --> 00:55:38,520 Speaker 4: If they got to no super Bowls and lost the 1168 00:55:38,560 --> 00:55:42,120 Speaker 4: super Bowl, you think they'd fire him. Maybe not, that's 1169 00:55:42,120 --> 00:55:44,280 Speaker 4: still a step, that's still a step in the direction. 1170 00:55:44,400 --> 00:55:46,279 Speaker 4: That's why I mean, I don't think there's is win 1171 00:55:46,360 --> 00:55:48,320 Speaker 4: the super Bowl. Let's get to the super Bowl. 1172 00:55:48,200 --> 00:55:51,440 Speaker 6: Or I would bet you that Buffalo is really rethinking 1173 00:55:51,480 --> 00:55:52,600 Speaker 6: how they built the roster. 1174 00:55:52,840 --> 00:55:53,640 Speaker 2: I guarantee you. 1175 00:55:54,120 --> 00:55:55,840 Speaker 6: I won't guarantee it if they made it to the 1176 00:55:55,880 --> 00:55:59,560 Speaker 6: super Bowl, but even if they lost to the super Bowl, 1177 00:55:59,560 --> 00:56:01,920 Speaker 6: I think Sean McDermott's jobs and I think this might 1178 00:56:01,960 --> 00:56:04,520 Speaker 6: be his last chance to try to pull the show 1179 00:56:04,560 --> 00:56:07,400 Speaker 6: that he's the guy he's facing a lot of criticism 1180 00:56:07,440 --> 00:56:12,920 Speaker 6: this year and he for wasting Josh Allen's prime. And 1181 00:56:13,040 --> 00:56:16,120 Speaker 6: I think for sure the general manager is on blast, like, 1182 00:56:16,280 --> 00:56:18,160 Speaker 6: get the guy some damn weapons, you. 1183 00:56:18,120 --> 00:56:21,080 Speaker 2: Know what I mean? Weapons? Ye, so James Cooks a weapon. 1184 00:56:21,640 --> 00:56:24,800 Speaker 6: But I do believe that they would do some serious 1185 00:56:24,840 --> 00:56:28,799 Speaker 6: soul searching and make serious changes where comparing that to 1186 00:56:28,840 --> 00:56:33,200 Speaker 6: the Seahawks, they could lose their last three games. Mike 1187 00:56:33,280 --> 00:56:35,719 Speaker 6: McDonald's our head coach next year, John Schneider is our 1188 00:56:35,760 --> 00:56:40,960 Speaker 6: general manager. Sam Donald's our quarterback. Jsn's our number one receiver, 1189 00:56:41,200 --> 00:56:44,480 Speaker 6: and everybody in the organization feels like they are ahead 1190 00:56:44,480 --> 00:56:45,600 Speaker 6: of schedule. 1191 00:56:45,400 --> 00:56:46,839 Speaker 2: And are Yeah. 1192 00:56:46,960 --> 00:56:48,759 Speaker 6: I mean, if you lost all three, that would be 1193 00:56:48,800 --> 00:56:51,840 Speaker 6: a crutching way in this season, not even making the playoffs. 1194 00:56:52,640 --> 00:56:54,719 Speaker 2: I'm not really even entertaining that scenario. 1195 00:56:55,160 --> 00:56:58,640 Speaker 6: But even if you lost your last game, no matter 1196 00:56:58,680 --> 00:57:02,600 Speaker 6: when it occurs, I think the Seahawks feel like, man, we. 1197 00:57:02,680 --> 00:57:06,120 Speaker 2: Are on a great path right now versus Buffalo. 1198 00:57:06,280 --> 00:57:09,080 Speaker 6: I think they could win, lose the Super Bowl and 1199 00:57:09,200 --> 00:57:12,920 Speaker 6: still consider getting rid of their coach, making some major 1200 00:57:13,000 --> 00:57:14,960 Speaker 6: changes to the roster and so forth. 1201 00:57:15,040 --> 00:57:16,200 Speaker 9: Well, and I think a lot of it has to 1202 00:57:16,240 --> 00:57:19,720 Speaker 9: do with the expectations going into the season, Right, Buffalo 1203 00:57:19,800 --> 00:57:23,400 Speaker 9: was expected to win twelve thirteen something games. Right, they 1204 00:57:23,400 --> 00:57:26,960 Speaker 9: were expected to do really well. And so as now 1205 00:57:27,280 --> 00:57:29,520 Speaker 9: you have no, you don't have the Chiefs to deal 1206 00:57:29,560 --> 00:57:33,000 Speaker 9: with your super Bowl or bust plans kind of got 1207 00:57:33,040 --> 00:57:36,240 Speaker 9: bust here, really right, Your. 1208 00:57:36,040 --> 00:57:37,320 Speaker 2: It's definitely changed the equation. 1209 00:57:37,400 --> 00:57:40,000 Speaker 9: Yeah, your expectations are higher and if you don't at 1210 00:57:40,080 --> 00:57:41,760 Speaker 9: least make it to the super Bowl because now you 1211 00:57:41,760 --> 00:57:44,400 Speaker 9: don't have the Chiefs to knock you out, I mean 1212 00:57:44,760 --> 00:57:46,000 Speaker 9: that's what their fans are thinking. 1213 00:57:46,040 --> 00:57:46,400 Speaker 10: I'm sure. 1214 00:57:46,400 --> 00:57:49,760 Speaker 9: Whereas the Seahawks, I think you've now put yourself into 1215 00:57:49,800 --> 00:57:52,360 Speaker 9: the playoffs or bust. If you don't make the playoffs 1216 00:57:52,400 --> 00:57:54,160 Speaker 9: at this point, people are going to be really mad. 1217 00:57:54,520 --> 00:57:55,040 Speaker 2: I give you that. 1218 00:57:55,400 --> 00:57:58,480 Speaker 9: But as far as super Bowl or bust, now, now 1219 00:57:58,800 --> 00:58:01,120 Speaker 9: coming through this season and surprise kind of that we've 1220 00:58:01,160 --> 00:58:04,520 Speaker 9: had of how well this team has done, I think 1221 00:58:04,560 --> 00:58:07,040 Speaker 9: you go into next year and you're you're now going 1222 00:58:07,120 --> 00:58:09,200 Speaker 9: to be really looking at that, is it a possible 1223 00:58:09,280 --> 00:58:12,240 Speaker 9: super Bowl or bust ahead of going into next season 1224 00:58:13,400 --> 00:58:15,560 Speaker 9: just because you've had this success And now this is 1225 00:58:15,600 --> 00:58:18,160 Speaker 9: Mike McDonald. That would be Mike McDonald's third year now 1226 00:58:18,200 --> 00:58:19,840 Speaker 9: your expectations are a whole lot higher. 1227 00:58:19,840 --> 00:58:21,920 Speaker 6: But I think right now I having having this season 1228 00:58:22,160 --> 00:58:24,600 Speaker 6: and then you start next year, Yeah, it is I 1229 00:58:24,640 --> 00:58:26,400 Speaker 6: don't know if it's Super Bowl or bust, but. 1230 00:58:26,280 --> 00:58:30,520 Speaker 9: It's an expectation of at least to the NFC Championship. 1231 00:58:30,000 --> 00:58:33,640 Speaker 6: Where yeah, this is you're you're you're getting the team together, 1232 00:58:33,760 --> 00:58:35,120 Speaker 6: and it is we're winning. 1233 00:58:34,840 --> 00:58:35,360 Speaker 7: The Super Bowl. 1234 00:58:35,440 --> 00:58:38,040 Speaker 6: Yeah, sure, that's that's going to be your start to 1235 00:58:38,240 --> 00:58:38,920 Speaker 6: next season. 1236 00:58:39,280 --> 00:58:39,720 Speaker 2: You're right. 1237 00:58:39,920 --> 00:58:44,400 Speaker 6: If you collapse completely and somehow statistically marvelously don't make 1238 00:58:44,440 --> 00:58:48,440 Speaker 6: the playoffs, uh that that would be crushing. Yeah, considering 1239 00:58:48,480 --> 00:58:50,760 Speaker 6: where you are at this point, and then maybe there 1240 00:58:50,840 --> 00:58:53,600 Speaker 6: is a little bit of of soul searching. But assuming 1241 00:58:53,640 --> 00:58:55,760 Speaker 6: you make the playoffs, which means you've got to win 1242 00:58:55,800 --> 00:58:57,439 Speaker 6: one of your next three games. 1243 00:58:57,800 --> 00:59:00,680 Speaker 2: After that point you lose, I still. 1244 00:59:00,440 --> 00:59:04,680 Speaker 6: Think that you're feeling awesome going into the offseason about 1245 00:59:04,680 --> 00:59:07,360 Speaker 6: the direction that you're in. But you're right, the expectations 1246 00:59:07,400 --> 00:59:10,200 Speaker 6: at the beginning of next year, they're ratcheted up, and 1247 00:59:10,240 --> 00:59:14,320 Speaker 6: that's what you want. You want the expectations, and I 1248 00:59:14,360 --> 00:59:16,680 Speaker 6: think that they're like, bring them all on. I think 1249 00:59:16,720 --> 00:59:19,600 Speaker 6: that that's where the organization is right now. 1250 00:59:19,880 --> 00:59:20,680 Speaker 2: But I do think. 1251 00:59:20,720 --> 00:59:24,000 Speaker 6: I mean, Baltimore Ravens, they're a team that if they 1252 00:59:24,040 --> 00:59:26,440 Speaker 6: don't somehow get into the playoffs. 1253 00:59:26,120 --> 00:59:28,400 Speaker 2: This year, a massive disappointment. 1254 00:59:27,960 --> 00:59:33,800 Speaker 6: Massive disappointment, and I think they entertain some changes organizationally 1255 00:59:34,000 --> 00:59:36,840 Speaker 6: this offseason. I don't think they would take that lightly 1256 00:59:36,880 --> 00:59:41,240 Speaker 6: in Baltimore. Pittsburgh right now is obviously going through something 1257 00:59:41,240 --> 00:59:43,240 Speaker 6: where I don't know if it's Super Bowl or bust, 1258 00:59:44,040 --> 00:59:47,120 Speaker 6: but they're I mean, they are booing one of the 1259 00:59:47,120 --> 00:59:50,520 Speaker 6: most successful destined for the Hall of Fame head coaches. 1260 00:59:50,720 --> 00:59:54,600 Speaker 6: They're chanting fire Tomlin every single home game for three 1261 00:59:54,680 --> 00:59:58,240 Speaker 6: quarters at a time. So obviously Pittsburgh's going through a 1262 00:59:58,320 --> 01:00:01,080 Speaker 6: little bit of do we have to kind of shake 1263 01:00:01,200 --> 01:00:04,200 Speaker 6: things up? Do we have to change things up this offseason? 1264 01:00:04,840 --> 01:00:05,760 Speaker 2: Where I don't. 1265 01:00:05,560 --> 01:00:09,040 Speaker 6: See the Seahawks being a part of that conversation whatsoever, 1266 01:00:09,520 --> 01:00:12,280 Speaker 6: barring we go zero to three and somehow don't miss 1267 01:00:12,520 --> 01:00:13,680 Speaker 6: don't make the playoffs. 1268 01:00:14,000 --> 01:00:16,000 Speaker 4: Yeah, which is I mean, there have to be some 1269 01:00:16,080 --> 01:00:19,080 Speaker 4: crazy opposite of a miracle that would have to happen. 1270 01:00:19,160 --> 01:00:20,720 Speaker 7: So I mean, I'm with you on that. 1271 01:00:20,800 --> 01:00:22,960 Speaker 4: I mean, I just think that right now, you're sitting 1272 01:00:22,960 --> 01:00:25,520 Speaker 4: in year two of Mike McDonald and you're feeling good 1273 01:00:25,560 --> 01:00:27,760 Speaker 4: about it. You're feeling great about it, okay, and then 1274 01:00:27,760 --> 01:00:31,320 Speaker 4: you have a giant game coming tomorrow, another big game, 1275 01:00:31,400 --> 01:00:34,480 Speaker 4: another important game against a team that's shooting for a 1276 01:00:34,480 --> 01:00:37,000 Speaker 4: playoff spot in the Carolina Panthers. And then you're the 1277 01:00:37,040 --> 01:00:40,120 Speaker 4: final one where you book in the season against the Niners, 1278 01:00:40,120 --> 01:00:43,200 Speaker 4: who you know, one of your division rivals and they're 1279 01:00:43,200 --> 01:00:45,120 Speaker 4: fighting for a spot in the playoffs as well. I mean, 1280 01:00:45,160 --> 01:00:47,520 Speaker 4: I think that right now, it's like playoff football starting. 1281 01:00:47,600 --> 01:00:49,480 Speaker 4: It starts tomorrow for the Seahawks, and it's one of 1282 01:00:49,520 --> 01:00:51,760 Speaker 4: those you've got to go out and play your style 1283 01:00:51,800 --> 01:00:53,200 Speaker 4: of football, right and we know. 1284 01:00:53,200 --> 01:00:53,680 Speaker 7: What it is. 1285 01:00:53,720 --> 01:00:56,400 Speaker 4: This isn't we're getting towards the end of the season. 1286 01:00:56,480 --> 01:01:00,560 Speaker 4: This defense is going to keep team in the game. 1287 01:01:00,920 --> 01:01:02,600 Speaker 4: You're going to keep your team in the game. The 1288 01:01:02,680 --> 01:01:06,520 Speaker 4: offense can be absolutely potent. I mean they're you look 1289 01:01:06,560 --> 01:01:08,960 Speaker 4: at all their different numbers and they're tops in the 1290 01:01:09,080 --> 01:01:12,120 Speaker 4: leagues and like points per play, so basically they can 1291 01:01:12,160 --> 01:01:14,640 Speaker 4: strike and they can strike quick. And then sometimes what 1292 01:01:14,720 --> 01:01:18,040 Speaker 4: we basically talked about multiple times throughout the show today, 1293 01:01:17,800 --> 01:01:19,760 Speaker 4: they revert back to. But we got to make sure 1294 01:01:19,760 --> 01:01:21,919 Speaker 4: they know we'll still just grind it out on them. 1295 01:01:22,200 --> 01:01:24,880 Speaker 4: Well yeah, or you could just keep hitting JSN who's 1296 01:01:24,920 --> 01:01:28,840 Speaker 4: uncoverable apparently, and just keep You know, now you're finally 1297 01:01:28,840 --> 01:01:31,680 Speaker 4: getting a rapport with Rashi Jied. Those two and Cooper 1298 01:01:31,720 --> 01:01:33,800 Speaker 4: Cup can be a nice little blanket that, you know, 1299 01:01:33,880 --> 01:01:36,480 Speaker 4: for a third down conversion here and there. I think 1300 01:01:36,560 --> 01:01:38,880 Speaker 4: that the team needs to just figure out, this is 1301 01:01:38,880 --> 01:01:41,840 Speaker 4: what our identity is, and regardless of how they do that, 1302 01:01:42,560 --> 01:01:44,080 Speaker 4: we know that this team now is heading in the 1303 01:01:44,120 --> 01:01:47,320 Speaker 4: right direction, that you've got the coach you want. If 1304 01:01:47,360 --> 01:01:49,840 Speaker 4: people want to doubt Sam Darnold whether or not he's 1305 01:01:49,880 --> 01:01:52,080 Speaker 4: your franchise guy, well he's your franchise guy this year. 1306 01:01:52,440 --> 01:01:54,480 Speaker 4: You're riding or dying with him right now. I don't 1307 01:01:54,480 --> 01:01:56,960 Speaker 4: think he's going anywhere next year unless for some reason 1308 01:01:57,560 --> 01:02:00,560 Speaker 4: you got in on a borough sweepstakes. Be the only 1309 01:02:00,600 --> 01:02:03,800 Speaker 4: thing you think you're upgrade, and otherwise you're not drafting 1310 01:02:03,800 --> 01:02:06,880 Speaker 4: the quarterback and replacing Sam Darnolds. I think you could 1311 01:02:06,920 --> 01:02:09,959 Speaker 4: have some roster shakeup, you know, some places on the line. 1312 01:02:10,000 --> 01:02:13,040 Speaker 4: Possibly who knows what they're thinking with Ken Walker. I mean, 1313 01:02:13,080 --> 01:02:15,280 Speaker 4: maybe he just isn't Maybe he isn't the guy that's 1314 01:02:15,520 --> 01:02:16,480 Speaker 4: supposed to be toting. 1315 01:02:16,240 --> 01:02:17,360 Speaker 2: The Rockets anyway. 1316 01:02:17,440 --> 01:02:19,360 Speaker 4: Ken Walker's back here next Yeah, well he's on the 1317 01:02:19,480 --> 01:02:21,040 Speaker 4: end last year of his contract, so you're going to 1318 01:02:21,120 --> 01:02:22,800 Speaker 4: have some roster movement. 1319 01:02:22,840 --> 01:02:23,959 Speaker 7: But everybody has roster movement. 1320 01:02:23,960 --> 01:02:26,520 Speaker 4: I think in general, though, the point of they know 1321 01:02:26,560 --> 01:02:28,440 Speaker 4: who they are, they know what they got, and they 1322 01:02:28,440 --> 01:02:31,680 Speaker 4: are happy with where they're at. That doesn't change in 1323 01:02:31,720 --> 01:02:34,040 Speaker 4: the slightest if they don't get to and or win 1324 01:02:34,120 --> 01:02:34,720 Speaker 4: the Super Bowl. 1325 01:02:34,840 --> 01:02:35,040 Speaker 12: Yeah. 1326 01:02:35,080 --> 01:02:38,200 Speaker 6: I think the Chargers are a similar team to the Seahawks. 1327 01:02:38,280 --> 01:02:41,080 Speaker 6: Second year of a new coaching regime. Showed progress in 1328 01:02:41,120 --> 01:02:44,240 Speaker 6: the first year, showed even more progress in the second year. 1329 01:02:45,160 --> 01:02:48,120 Speaker 6: Looks like they are destined for the playoffs. If they 1330 01:02:48,160 --> 01:02:51,360 Speaker 6: crash and burn somehow before the end of the season, sure, 1331 01:02:51,480 --> 01:02:54,360 Speaker 6: that's going to be crushingly disappointing. But I think that 1332 01:02:54,400 --> 01:02:56,640 Speaker 6: the Los Angeles Chargers would get to the end of 1333 01:02:56,680 --> 01:02:59,760 Speaker 6: the year and say to themselves, love our head coach, 1334 01:03:00,880 --> 01:03:05,960 Speaker 6: love our quarterback. He's still young and maybe in and 1335 01:03:06,520 --> 01:03:09,160 Speaker 6: is in his prime right now. Man, if we would 1336 01:03:09,200 --> 01:03:14,160 Speaker 6: add just healthier offensive lineman this this this season, who 1337 01:03:14,160 --> 01:03:16,600 Speaker 6: knows what we could have accomplished this year. But I 1338 01:03:16,600 --> 01:03:20,560 Speaker 6: think that that's a similar story to what the Seahawks 1339 01:03:20,600 --> 01:03:23,840 Speaker 6: are operating the Chargers. No matter how they lost in 1340 01:03:23,880 --> 01:03:28,120 Speaker 6: the playoffs, I still think that they're celebrating their season 1341 01:03:28,280 --> 01:03:31,360 Speaker 6: and feeling like, man, we are just scratching the surface. 1342 01:03:31,600 --> 01:03:34,360 Speaker 2: Fellas. Let you know, next year we went it off. 1343 01:03:34,680 --> 01:03:36,760 Speaker 6: Just as Ashley said, I think that that's the start 1344 01:03:36,800 --> 01:03:38,439 Speaker 6: of the Chargers season next year. 1345 01:03:38,640 --> 01:03:40,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, you always put on the bulletin bore. 1346 01:03:40,160 --> 01:03:43,360 Speaker 6: We're not going to eliminate any kind of goal like 1347 01:03:43,520 --> 01:03:44,200 Speaker 6: the super Bowl. 1348 01:03:44,600 --> 01:03:46,040 Speaker 2: We're here to win the Super Bowl. 1349 01:03:45,920 --> 01:03:49,240 Speaker 6: Right, But I don't know if you really believed that 1350 01:03:49,400 --> 01:03:51,680 Speaker 6: when the season started, if you're the se if you're 1351 01:03:51,680 --> 01:03:54,600 Speaker 6: a Seahawks fan or a Charger fan, or even somebody that's. 1352 01:03:54,400 --> 01:03:55,240 Speaker 2: Inside the building. 1353 01:03:55,600 --> 01:03:58,200 Speaker 6: Next year, though, that's what you're saying, and you are 1354 01:03:58,280 --> 01:04:00,440 Speaker 6: meaning it, and it is on the chalk board for 1355 01:04:00,480 --> 01:04:03,840 Speaker 6: a reason. You believe the progress you've made in two 1356 01:04:03,920 --> 01:04:06,919 Speaker 6: years in this new regime, the quarterback that you have, 1357 01:04:07,480 --> 01:04:11,280 Speaker 6: the things that you've learned, the roster adjustments that undoubtedly 1358 01:04:11,360 --> 01:04:15,120 Speaker 6: every team will make to fine tune the product. You're 1359 01:04:15,200 --> 01:04:17,960 Speaker 6: heading into next year feeling like we are a super 1360 01:04:18,000 --> 01:04:20,080 Speaker 6: Bowl team and we will accept nothing else. 1361 01:04:20,240 --> 01:04:21,920 Speaker 9: Yeah, we did those tiers at the beginning of the 1362 01:04:21,960 --> 01:04:23,880 Speaker 9: season where we put every team in it, and the 1363 01:04:23,880 --> 01:04:27,840 Speaker 9: Seahawks were I think that we decided, most of us 1364 01:04:27,880 --> 01:04:30,080 Speaker 9: decided they were underestimated. We thought they were going to 1365 01:04:30,120 --> 01:04:32,680 Speaker 9: be We know we're better than other people think we are. 1366 01:04:32,720 --> 01:04:33,760 Speaker 2: Something along those lines. 1367 01:04:33,840 --> 01:04:37,400 Speaker 9: Yeah, and I agree they are better than most people 1368 01:04:37,480 --> 01:04:39,440 Speaker 9: I think thought they were at the beginning of the season. 1369 01:04:39,480 --> 01:04:41,800 Speaker 9: And I think it would have been unrealistic for anyone 1370 01:04:41,800 --> 01:04:45,040 Speaker 9: to have Super Bowl expectations going into Mike McDonald's second year. 1371 01:04:45,240 --> 01:04:48,320 Speaker 9: Now it's been an awesome, wonderful, pleasant surprise to see 1372 01:04:48,320 --> 01:04:50,840 Speaker 9: how well they've been doing. But yeah, there's no way 1373 01:04:50,880 --> 01:04:53,600 Speaker 9: in hell you go into next season not having super 1374 01:04:53,600 --> 01:04:54,560 Speaker 9: Bowl expectations. 1375 01:04:54,640 --> 01:04:56,240 Speaker 2: In the meantime, why not win the Super Bowl? 1376 01:04:56,360 --> 01:04:58,200 Speaker 10: Yeah, do it when nobody expected you to. 1377 01:04:59,040 --> 01:05:01,880 Speaker 6: I was, I mean, I think I picked the Seahawks 1378 01:05:01,880 --> 01:05:04,360 Speaker 6: to go twelve and five, which was pretty aggressive. 1379 01:05:04,440 --> 01:05:07,120 Speaker 2: Yeah. Maybe I said eleven and six with a chance 1380 01:05:07,160 --> 01:05:08,080 Speaker 2: to go twelve and five. 1381 01:05:08,240 --> 01:05:13,560 Speaker 6: Remember, given myself a win margin ones. Yeah, so I 1382 01:05:13,680 --> 01:05:17,800 Speaker 6: had I had really high expectations, but even I did 1383 01:05:17,840 --> 01:05:22,880 Speaker 6: not think at any moment the nation would be having. 1384 01:05:22,600 --> 01:05:25,080 Speaker 2: The suggestion, is this the best team in the NFL. 1385 01:05:25,240 --> 01:05:28,280 Speaker 6: Now, usually what they say in these national broadcasts, this 1386 01:05:28,400 --> 01:05:31,160 Speaker 6: might be the best team in the NFC. You don't 1387 01:05:31,200 --> 01:05:32,840 Speaker 6: hear them say a lot that this might be the 1388 01:05:32,840 --> 01:05:34,360 Speaker 6: best team in the entire league. 1389 01:05:34,680 --> 01:05:35,800 Speaker 2: But you've heard it all. 1390 01:05:36,120 --> 01:05:39,600 Speaker 6: You've heard it every week, and man, during Sunday's broadcast, 1391 01:05:39,640 --> 01:05:43,120 Speaker 6: you must have heard it fifteen times from the broadcast team, 1392 01:05:43,400 --> 01:05:45,760 Speaker 6: that this might They're just throwing it in just casually. 1393 01:05:46,520 --> 01:05:48,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, when we're on your face and what might be 1394 01:05:48,360 --> 01:05:49,480 Speaker 2: the best team in the NFC. 1395 01:05:49,840 --> 01:05:53,280 Speaker 6: I didn't think we were going to hear the nation 1396 01:05:53,720 --> 01:05:57,120 Speaker 6: have that conversation about this year's version of the Seahawks. 1397 01:05:57,400 --> 01:06:00,480 Speaker 6: But yeah, I think we are in that converse. And 1398 01:06:00,520 --> 01:06:03,080 Speaker 6: part of it is that Philadelphia is not as good 1399 01:06:03,080 --> 01:06:04,680 Speaker 6: as they were a year ago. And part of that 1400 01:06:04,880 --> 01:06:07,160 Speaker 6: is Kansas City is not as good as they were 1401 01:06:07,200 --> 01:06:09,360 Speaker 6: a year obviously, not as good as what they were 1402 01:06:09,360 --> 01:06:11,600 Speaker 6: a year ago. Part of it is Baltimore's not the 1403 01:06:11,640 --> 01:06:13,560 Speaker 6: team that we thought they were going to be. Part 1404 01:06:13,600 --> 01:06:17,120 Speaker 6: of it is that the Broncos and Patriots have the 1405 01:06:17,160 --> 01:06:19,480 Speaker 6: two best records in the National Football League. And I 1406 01:06:19,560 --> 01:06:22,800 Speaker 6: don't think that I expected them to be in that 1407 01:06:22,920 --> 01:06:27,760 Speaker 6: conversation either. But here we sit in year number two 1408 01:06:27,920 --> 01:06:30,880 Speaker 6: of the Mike McDonald era, and we have had a 1409 01:06:31,080 --> 01:06:36,880 Speaker 6: chunk of this season where not just local bias, but national. 1410 01:06:36,360 --> 01:06:38,520 Speaker 2: Guys who are always. 1411 01:06:38,720 --> 01:06:42,960 Speaker 6: Shy of giving Seattle the credit that they deserve have 1412 01:06:43,320 --> 01:06:46,880 Speaker 6: entered them into the conversation as is this really the 1413 01:06:46,920 --> 01:06:49,880 Speaker 6: best team in the league. I think that's an accomplishment 1414 01:06:49,920 --> 01:06:50,600 Speaker 6: in its own right. 1415 01:06:51,160 --> 01:06:53,439 Speaker 4: Oh, it's definitely an accomplishment in its own right. I think 1416 01:06:53,440 --> 01:06:55,800 Speaker 4: this season in general, though, like you were, just kind 1417 01:06:55,800 --> 01:06:59,240 Speaker 4: of outlying, is part of the reason why there's been 1418 01:06:59,280 --> 01:07:01,400 Speaker 4: a lot of teams that have been kind of thrust 1419 01:07:01,440 --> 01:07:02,240 Speaker 4: into that conversation. 1420 01:07:02,320 --> 01:07:02,400 Speaker 1: Right. 1421 01:07:02,440 --> 01:07:04,000 Speaker 4: The Rams were for a minute and it seemed like 1422 01:07:04,040 --> 01:07:07,640 Speaker 4: they're for about four or five weeks. Whoever got that 1423 01:07:07,800 --> 01:07:10,880 Speaker 4: Moniker bestowed upon them for the week leading up to it, 1424 01:07:10,920 --> 01:07:14,280 Speaker 4: because how dominant their performance was and they're leading their division, 1425 01:07:14,880 --> 01:07:17,320 Speaker 4: they would fall on their face. They would have a 1426 01:07:17,360 --> 01:07:19,480 Speaker 4: backsliding moment to some degree. And I think it's in 1427 01:07:19,560 --> 01:07:22,200 Speaker 4: large part because a lot of people don't believe that 1428 01:07:22,280 --> 01:07:25,240 Speaker 4: Denver's for real, or that New England is for real, 1429 01:07:25,320 --> 01:07:28,120 Speaker 4: and the second year of Drake Mayn's first year with 1430 01:07:28,200 --> 01:07:31,720 Speaker 4: Brabel there, and because the Chiefs most certainly the Chiefs 1431 01:07:31,720 --> 01:07:33,680 Speaker 4: and the Eagles, the two teams that were fighting it 1432 01:07:33,680 --> 01:07:37,120 Speaker 4: out last year, they've fallen back. One's fallen out at 1433 01:07:37,120 --> 01:07:40,120 Speaker 4: this point, the other one's fallen back. It allows to 1434 01:07:40,120 --> 01:07:42,800 Speaker 4: where like Waitte sold these other teams, and I think 1435 01:07:42,800 --> 01:07:45,600 Speaker 4: the Rams are basically the consensus right now, the favorite. 1436 01:07:45,640 --> 01:07:48,080 Speaker 2: They're been the most consistent of all the teams. 1437 01:07:48,160 --> 01:07:52,280 Speaker 7: And it's because they're good and because they're proven. 1438 01:07:53,000 --> 01:07:56,360 Speaker 4: Bo It's like now Buffalo coming back and beating New 1439 01:07:56,360 --> 01:07:59,800 Speaker 4: England all of a sudden thrust them back into the conversation. 1440 01:07:59,280 --> 01:07:59,960 Speaker 7: A little bit more. 1441 01:08:00,160 --> 01:08:02,000 Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, so now all of a sudden, you're 1442 01:08:02,000 --> 01:08:04,520 Speaker 4: getting back into if the it's just say, I don't 1443 01:08:04,520 --> 01:08:06,560 Speaker 4: know how the whole thing's shake out across the board, 1444 01:08:06,600 --> 01:08:08,000 Speaker 4: but if it just shakes out the way it is 1445 01:08:08,080 --> 01:08:10,400 Speaker 4: kind of right now, or Buffalo ends up tight or 1446 01:08:10,800 --> 01:08:15,080 Speaker 4: winning the the uh their division, if you end up 1447 01:08:15,080 --> 01:08:16,439 Speaker 4: seeing that, I think most people. 1448 01:08:16,280 --> 01:08:17,800 Speaker 7: Are gonna be like I can see it being the 1449 01:08:17,880 --> 01:08:19,040 Speaker 7: Rams and the. 1450 01:08:19,000 --> 01:08:21,840 Speaker 4: Buffalo Bills in the Super Bowl because of the provenness 1451 01:08:21,840 --> 01:08:23,320 Speaker 4: and who they have at the quarterback position. 1452 01:08:23,360 --> 01:08:25,040 Speaker 7: It's something that more people believe in. 1453 01:08:25,479 --> 01:08:28,240 Speaker 6: To me, it's all signs point to Seattle versus the 1454 01:08:28,360 --> 01:08:30,240 Speaker 6: Jaguars for the Super Bowl. 1455 01:08:30,800 --> 01:08:32,479 Speaker 7: Wow, I don't know what signs you're right? 1456 01:08:32,560 --> 01:08:37,120 Speaker 2: A bold statement there, all right?

It's been a minute. 1480 01:09:52,880 --> 01:09:56,000 Speaker 6: Yeah, no kidding, I mean no, we don't even we 1481 01:09:56,040 --> 01:09:57,519 Speaker 6: don't even keep in touch anymore. 1482 01:09:57,600 --> 01:09:59,240 Speaker 2: I've missed it so much. 1483 01:09:59,600 --> 01:10:02,799 Speaker 6: Well, yeah, you and I aren't performing so well these days, 1484 01:10:02,840 --> 01:10:06,280 Speaker 6: but we do have to hand the green jacket to 1485 01:10:06,400 --> 01:10:08,080 Speaker 6: our own Christopher Kid. 1486 01:10:08,400 --> 01:10:12,120 Speaker 2: Thanks Bud for the winter. Huh's going to happen? Maybe 1487 01:10:12,560 --> 01:10:14,400 Speaker 2: you certainly earned it. I'll say this. 1488 01:10:14,479 --> 01:10:17,320 Speaker 6: I mean, I think in our college Big ten college 1489 01:10:17,360 --> 01:10:21,760 Speaker 6: football fantasy league this year, I think you caught a 1490 01:10:21,800 --> 01:10:23,680 Speaker 6: lot of breaks. You had the healthiest team, but you 1491 01:10:23,760 --> 01:10:26,559 Speaker 6: also drafted the best. I mean, there's no getting around it. 1492 01:10:27,120 --> 01:10:29,639 Speaker 6: Your first round pick was the only bad pick you made, 1493 01:10:29,720 --> 01:10:31,120 Speaker 6: Nick Singleton from Pennstanva. 1494 01:10:31,120 --> 01:10:32,040 Speaker 2: He wasn't a bad pick. 1495 01:10:32,680 --> 01:10:34,800 Speaker 6: But then you had Mackay Lemon in the second round, 1496 01:10:34,840 --> 01:10:38,280 Speaker 6: who was fantastic this year, Denzel Boston in the third round, 1497 01:10:38,320 --> 01:10:40,360 Speaker 6: he was fantastic. And then the pick they won it 1498 01:10:40,400 --> 01:10:43,559 Speaker 6: for you, the pick from Heaven. At the fourth round, 1499 01:10:43,760 --> 01:10:48,840 Speaker 6: Christopher Kid picks the Heisman Trophy winner Fernando Mendoza and 1500 01:10:48,880 --> 01:10:50,320 Speaker 6: had him all season long. 1501 01:10:50,360 --> 01:10:52,280 Speaker 2: That's some good picking right there. I'll give it to you. 1502 01:10:52,680 --> 01:10:53,040 Speaker 2: Thank you. 1503 01:10:53,360 --> 01:10:55,920 Speaker 14: I didn't even know who he was, well I did. 1504 01:10:56,160 --> 01:10:58,040 Speaker 14: He had a solid season last year. I didn't think 1505 01:10:58,080 --> 01:11:00,679 Speaker 14: he would become a Heisman winner. Just thought he would 1506 01:11:00,680 --> 01:11:02,000 Speaker 14: have a decent season. 1507 01:11:02,240 --> 01:11:04,920 Speaker 2: And boy did he blow that out the water. Yeah, yeah, 1508 01:11:04,920 --> 01:11:05,559 Speaker 2: he really did. 1509 01:11:05,600 --> 01:11:08,200 Speaker 6: So you had nine hundred and ninety the nine and 1510 01:11:08,200 --> 01:11:11,080 Speaker 6: eighty points. It ended up being very close. This is 1511 01:11:11,120 --> 01:11:13,639 Speaker 6: the closest from the top to bottom that we've ever 1512 01:11:13,720 --> 01:11:17,680 Speaker 6: had in our Big Ten Fantasy league. Bucky ended up 1513 01:11:17,720 --> 01:11:22,080 Speaker 6: finishing second with ninety nine. I finished third with nine 1514 01:11:22,080 --> 01:11:24,479 Speaker 6: to twenty two, and then Ashley with nine to nineteen. 1515 01:11:24,680 --> 01:11:27,880 Speaker 6: So all very close. This year was a it was 1516 01:11:27,880 --> 01:11:30,440 Speaker 6: a fun season. Now we had a lot of injury aggravations. 1517 01:11:31,439 --> 01:11:35,519 Speaker 6: Thank you, j Yeah, exactly, Thank you, Darius Taylor. I 1518 01:11:35,560 --> 01:11:37,240 Speaker 6: hope you fail at life. 1519 01:11:38,680 --> 01:11:41,760 Speaker 2: Seahawks with the third round pick select. 1520 01:11:41,560 --> 01:11:43,800 Speaker 6: I hope, I hope you don't make it to the 1521 01:11:43,920 --> 01:11:46,800 Speaker 6: National Football League. You get a desk job and get 1522 01:11:46,880 --> 01:11:49,679 Speaker 6: fired within two weeks. Wow, that's what I hope. 1523 01:11:49,720 --> 01:11:52,479 Speaker 2: He was not listening to any sports radio. 1524 01:11:52,520 --> 01:11:54,559 Speaker 7: The West of third in our little draft. 1525 01:11:54,640 --> 01:11:58,679 Speaker 6: I hope you get injured by a stapler incident sitting 1526 01:11:58,720 --> 01:12:00,800 Speaker 6: at your desk, at your job. 1527 01:12:00,560 --> 01:12:01,760 Speaker 2: At the hest. 1528 01:12:01,760 --> 01:12:03,600 Speaker 10: He didn't say paper cut because that would be just 1529 01:12:03,640 --> 01:12:04,400 Speaker 10: straight violence. 1530 01:12:04,880 --> 01:12:07,120 Speaker 6: Well, I wouldn't wish that on anyone. Yeah, not my 1531 01:12:07,200 --> 01:12:11,080 Speaker 6: worst enemy. So Chris Kid, Yes, we'll see if you 1532 01:12:11,160 --> 01:12:14,800 Speaker 6: can wear that all winter long. Actually, you might want 1533 01:12:14,800 --> 01:12:16,719 Speaker 6: to take that off your shoulder. 1534 01:12:17,320 --> 01:12:18,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, it really will. 1535 01:12:18,720 --> 01:12:22,080 Speaker 6: Our college football preview draft was where we picked the 1536 01:12:22,120 --> 01:12:26,760 Speaker 6: Heisman Trophy winner and the national champion, the Big Ten champion, 1537 01:12:27,560 --> 01:12:29,800 Speaker 6: and then how many wins that you Dub would get. 1538 01:12:30,160 --> 01:12:32,480 Speaker 2: Now, I would say three. 1539 01:12:32,240 --> 01:12:36,719 Speaker 6: Of us were terrible, Yeah, terrible at this Bucky was okay, 1540 01:12:37,320 --> 01:12:40,360 Speaker 6: but okay compared to how terrible we were. 1541 01:12:40,640 --> 01:12:41,720 Speaker 2: He ran away with it. 1542 01:12:41,800 --> 01:12:45,519 Speaker 6: So Bucky won the Green Jacket. He nailed you Dub's 1543 01:12:45,520 --> 01:12:47,920 Speaker 6: win total with eight and he took in the first round, 1544 01:12:48,000 --> 01:12:49,639 Speaker 6: so you got to give him credit for that. It's 1545 01:12:49,640 --> 01:12:51,439 Speaker 6: not like he just backed his way into it. He 1546 01:12:51,520 --> 01:12:53,559 Speaker 6: was like, I want that number eight, and I'm gonna 1547 01:12:53,600 --> 01:12:55,640 Speaker 6: take it with my first pick. So he did that. 1548 01:12:56,240 --> 01:12:58,960 Speaker 6: He also has Ohio State actually pretty good, Ohio State 1549 01:12:59,000 --> 01:13:01,840 Speaker 6: winning the national champion ship and right now they're the favorite. 1550 01:13:02,200 --> 01:13:05,080 Speaker 6: He had Oregon winning the Big Ten. They came close, 1551 01:13:05,680 --> 01:13:08,639 Speaker 6: and he had arch Manning winning the Heisman Trophy and 1552 01:13:08,680 --> 01:13:10,800 Speaker 6: that didn't come close. But then again, he was the 1553 01:13:10,840 --> 01:13:13,880 Speaker 6: favorite at the time we were drafting, so Bucky ran 1554 01:13:13,920 --> 01:13:14,720 Speaker 6: away with this one. 1555 01:13:14,800 --> 01:13:16,880 Speaker 2: So Bucky, congratulations, thank you. 1556 01:13:16,920 --> 01:13:18,200 Speaker 7: It feels good. It feels good. 1557 01:13:18,360 --> 01:13:21,479 Speaker 4: You didn't take Fernando Mendoza in the in the Heisman. 1558 01:13:21,760 --> 01:13:23,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, you son of a gun. You you got jokes, 1559 01:13:24,160 --> 01:13:24,960 Speaker 2: You're funny. 1560 01:13:25,240 --> 01:13:25,720 Speaker 7: I should have. 1561 01:13:26,360 --> 01:13:28,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm sure he was like plus ten thousand. I 1562 01:13:28,920 --> 01:13:29,280 Speaker 2: don't know. 1563 01:13:29,600 --> 01:13:32,960 Speaker 9: Congratulations, Bucky.

You're almost cinched it I mean, I think 1605 01:15:21,720 --> 01:15:24,680 Speaker 6: I'm gonna punch three tickets, but the margin is just 1606 01:15:24,720 --> 01:15:27,480 Speaker 6: not going to be significant where you already have margins 1607 01:15:27,800 --> 01:15:30,400 Speaker 6: with the Broncos and Seahawks of two and a half 1608 01:15:30,560 --> 01:15:31,160 Speaker 6: games each. 1609 01:15:31,479 --> 01:15:33,160 Speaker 2: How are my Jets doing not good? 1610 01:15:33,240 --> 01:15:38,320 Speaker 6: You did not have a good draft, and kid, you've 1611 01:15:38,360 --> 01:15:40,200 Speaker 6: got a chance to punch some tickets, but you've got 1612 01:15:40,240 --> 01:15:41,200 Speaker 6: to have some things happen. 1613 01:15:41,280 --> 01:15:43,519 Speaker 2: Yeah, Miami wins some games here, Bud, help me out 1614 01:15:43,600 --> 01:15:46,679 Speaker 2: or lose or lose.

And so today 1625 01:16:11,640 --> 01:16:15,680 Speaker 6: we just reveal our green jacket brackets. Uh, and so 1626 01:16:15,880 --> 01:16:18,360 Speaker 6: we've got them all filled out and we're ready to reveal. 1627 01:16:18,400 --> 01:16:21,679 Speaker 6: So this is no draft, just a discussion, and we'll 1628 01:16:21,720 --> 01:16:26,320 Speaker 6: start with Bucky, Bucky, let's talk about your bracket. 1629 01:16:26,320 --> 01:16:27,479 Speaker 2: What do you got going over there? 1630 01:16:27,800 --> 01:16:32,800 Speaker 4: Well, I do have Oregon squeaking by jam You Settler. Yep, 1631 01:16:33,160 --> 01:16:36,519 Speaker 4: that's a that's what I don't feel super confident in 1632 01:16:36,560 --> 01:16:38,080 Speaker 4: that one, but I'm gonna go ahead and go with 1633 01:16:38,120 --> 01:16:42,320 Speaker 4: the Ducks. They don't have to lay points on this, 1634 01:16:42,439 --> 01:16:44,360 Speaker 4: just straight up, straight up. 1635 01:16:44,439 --> 01:16:44,639 Speaker 8: Yeah. 1636 01:16:44,760 --> 01:16:48,520 Speaker 4: And then I actually have Alabama beating Oklahoma. 1637 01:16:49,240 --> 01:16:50,680 Speaker 7: That might be a different one. I don't know. 1638 01:16:50,680 --> 01:16:52,840 Speaker 6: If you guys it's eight nine, then you can go 1639 01:16:52,920 --> 01:16:55,599 Speaker 6: that's a coin cost right now. Oklahoma beat him earlier. Yeah, 1640 01:16:55,720 --> 01:16:59,320 Speaker 6: but the Alabama out kind of outplayed them. 1641 01:16:59,320 --> 01:17:01,559 Speaker 4: I mean they as far as total yards, I think 1642 01:17:01,560 --> 01:17:03,680 Speaker 4: it was like four oh six to two twelve. There 1643 01:17:03,760 --> 01:17:05,840 Speaker 4: was a Oklahoma had picked six in that game, and 1644 01:17:05,880 --> 01:17:07,880 Speaker 4: it still was tight at the end. I think Alabama 1645 01:17:08,160 --> 01:17:11,880 Speaker 4: rights the ship and beats them. I'm taking Old Miss 1646 01:17:11,920 --> 01:17:14,120 Speaker 4: against Tulane. I think that they will have a little 1647 01:17:14,120 --> 01:17:17,600 Speaker 4: bit of a galvanizing thing from the Lane Kiffin experience, 1648 01:17:17,680 --> 01:17:20,760 Speaker 4: at least in round one. And then I don't really 1649 01:17:20,800 --> 01:17:23,080 Speaker 4: know about the Miami Texas A and m I don't 1650 01:17:23,320 --> 01:17:25,400 Speaker 4: I really haven't watched either of those teams, but I'm 1651 01:17:25,479 --> 01:17:28,160 Speaker 4: cheering hard for Texas A and M for one reason 1652 01:17:28,439 --> 01:17:29,479 Speaker 4: and one reason only. 1653 01:17:30,280 --> 01:17:31,559 Speaker 7: You're a huge Aggies Yep. 1654 01:17:31,640 --> 01:17:34,559 Speaker 4: Nope, nope, because I just don't like Miami now at all. 1655 01:17:35,880 --> 01:17:38,320 Speaker 4: Going back on that one, I think Ohio State beats 1656 01:17:38,400 --> 01:17:41,920 Speaker 4: whoever comes out of that matchup with Texas A and 1657 01:17:42,040 --> 01:17:44,719 Speaker 4: M and Miami. I think Ohio State is the favorite, 1658 01:17:44,760 --> 01:17:47,240 Speaker 4: and understandably so, whether or not they hold up. 1659 01:17:47,280 --> 01:17:49,320 Speaker 7: I think their defense is better than it was last year. 1660 01:17:49,479 --> 01:17:52,080 Speaker 4: I think the offense they have crazy weapons which show 1661 01:17:52,200 --> 01:17:55,440 Speaker 4: up usually in big moments, so I have them advancing 1662 01:17:56,280 --> 01:17:59,639 Speaker 4: to the semi finals. I think Georgia beats Old Miss. 1663 01:18:00,520 --> 01:18:02,679 Speaker 4: They beat them just not too long ago, right towards 1664 01:18:02,720 --> 01:18:04,240 Speaker 4: the end of the Rego season. I think they kind 1665 01:18:04,240 --> 01:18:07,240 Speaker 4: of hold serve in that one. I think Indiana beats Alabama, 1666 01:18:08,160 --> 01:18:10,479 Speaker 4: and then I'm taking Oregon beating Texas Town because I 1667 01:18:10,520 --> 01:18:13,120 Speaker 4: can't yep, that's straight home. Well wait till you hear 1668 01:18:13,160 --> 01:18:14,880 Speaker 4: the rest of it, because then I have Oregon beating 1669 01:18:14,920 --> 01:18:19,080 Speaker 4: Indiana in the semifinals. Yep, because this is the year. 1670 01:18:19,120 --> 01:18:21,040 Speaker 4: I think the Ducks are getting healthy at the right time. 1671 01:18:21,120 --> 01:18:23,720 Speaker 4: They basically the second half of the season definitely the 1672 01:18:23,840 --> 01:18:26,400 Speaker 4: last two months have been without their top two or 1673 01:18:26,479 --> 01:18:29,040 Speaker 4: three wide receivers and still figured out a way. They 1674 01:18:29,120 --> 01:18:31,920 Speaker 4: got tons of running backs. Dante Moore has to play 1675 01:18:31,920 --> 01:18:34,200 Speaker 4: the way that he can, not the way that he has. 1676 01:18:34,240 --> 01:18:36,360 Speaker 4: At times, I think that they can get past Indiana. 1677 01:18:36,640 --> 01:18:38,920 Speaker 4: They deserve to lose. Come on, India, you're not that good. 1678 01:18:39,680 --> 01:18:43,000 Speaker 4: And then I have Ohio State beating Georgia in their 1679 01:18:43,040 --> 01:18:45,679 Speaker 4: side of the bracket. So it's Ducks versus Ohio State. 1680 01:18:45,720 --> 01:18:47,320 Speaker 4: And at this point I'm not going back on it. 1681 01:18:47,320 --> 01:18:49,160 Speaker 4: Give me the Ducks being the national championship. 1682 01:18:49,240 --> 01:18:50,760 Speaker 2: Man, I'm so glad I don't have to worry about 1683 01:18:50,760 --> 01:18:53,760 Speaker 2: bucket winning this. Yeah, well we'll see. 1684 01:18:54,520 --> 01:18:55,599 Speaker 7: We'll see about that. 1685 01:18:56,400 --> 01:19:01,519 Speaker 2: Quack that is. I guess you ride your team? 1686 01:19:01,720 --> 01:19:04,719 Speaker 6: Yeah, ride your team. I guess yes, you don't bail 1687 01:19:04,800 --> 01:19:05,360 Speaker 6: on your team. 1688 01:19:06,120 --> 01:19:08,920 Speaker 4: Extra cheer for It's just nice to have my team 1689 01:19:09,000 --> 01:19:11,680 Speaker 4: in it, you know. Yeah in the argument, there you go, 1690 01:19:12,040 --> 01:19:12,599 Speaker 4: Joe Coo. 1691 01:19:12,640 --> 01:19:14,599 Speaker 7: I'm talking about. You know what I'm talking about. 1692 01:19:15,760 --> 01:19:16,160 Speaker 2: I don't know. 1693 01:19:16,200 --> 01:19:18,439 Speaker 10: Because Washington has not been in the Jim used. 1694 01:19:18,240 --> 01:19:20,080 Speaker 7: Purple and gold. You could take them all the way. 1695 01:19:20,200 --> 01:19:23,240 Speaker 6: I mean, if they win, all cheer hard, all right, 1696 01:19:23,280 --> 01:19:26,960 Speaker 6: Ashley where do you differ on your board from BUCkies? 1697 01:19:27,320 --> 01:19:29,719 Speaker 9: You got a difference, so none in the first round. 1698 01:19:29,800 --> 01:19:32,479 Speaker 9: I've got Oregon, Bama, Ole, Miss and Texas A and 1699 01:19:32,600 --> 01:19:35,360 Speaker 9: M in the first round.

Actually, you're right, 1730 01:20:55,320 --> 01:20:58,200 Speaker 2: it is different than theirs, but it's the favorite. 1731 01:20:58,200 --> 01:21:00,960 Speaker 14: So I go with the eighty to Leastklahoma, and then 1732 01:21:00,960 --> 01:21:02,439 Speaker 14: I got Texas Tech beating Oregan. 1733 01:21:02,479 --> 01:21:05,600 Speaker 2: Sorry Buck, oh new heisily. 1734 01:21:06,080 --> 01:21:08,600 Speaker 14: Fake Mahomes is going to do something special or right? 1735 01:21:08,600 --> 01:21:09,960 Speaker 14: Should maybe the one of be Mahomes?

I think Oklahoma place, if Oklahoma gets there, 1743 01:21:27,600 --> 01:21:31,439 Speaker 6: even if Alabama gets there, I think Indiana all three. 1744 01:21:31,920 --> 01:21:33,920 Speaker 6: If they're gonna win the national championship, they're gonna earn it. 1745 01:21:34,000 --> 01:21:35,120 Speaker 6: They don't have an easy game. 1746 01:21:35,640 --> 01:21:39,080 Speaker 14: True that I did pick Georgia and Ohio State to 1747 01:21:39,080 --> 01:21:41,439 Speaker 14: meet up in the semi which Ohio State will win. 1748 01:21:42,200 --> 01:21:44,800 Speaker 14: And I got Indiana, and then I got Ohio State, 1749 01:21:45,840 --> 01:21:47,920 Speaker 14: saying we want revenge, and they get the revenge. 1750 01:21:48,160 --> 01:21:49,840 Speaker 2: You got them. We went back to back, so you 1751 01:21:49,920 --> 01:21:52,000 Speaker 2: got the Ohio State buck guys. All right, it's a 1752 01:21:52,040 --> 01:21:52,519 Speaker 2: little different. 1753 01:21:52,600 --> 01:21:55,680 Speaker 6: It's not like the sixty eighteen field in college basketball. 1754 01:21:55,720 --> 01:21:58,640 Speaker 6: I mean, there's a danger that you know, two of 1755 01:21:58,680 --> 01:22:00,880 Speaker 6: us we're going to pick the exact same jacket when 1756 01:22:00,880 --> 01:22:03,599 Speaker 6: you only have twelve teams and you've got such clear 1757 01:22:03,640 --> 01:22:06,200 Speaker 6: cut favorites in a few of those games. But I'm 1758 01:22:06,240 --> 01:22:08,720 Speaker 6: glad there's at least some variants, so we will have 1759 01:22:08,720 --> 01:22:09,799 Speaker 6: a green jacket winner. 1760 01:22:10,280 --> 01:22:10,719 Speaker 2: All right. 1761 01:22:10,840 --> 01:22:12,920 Speaker 6: I do have a couple of upsets, if you want 1762 01:22:12,960 --> 01:22:15,160 Speaker 6: to call them that, in the first round, I do have. 1763 01:22:15,479 --> 01:22:18,639 Speaker 6: I'm taking Miami over Texas A and M Nick Saban 1764 01:22:18,760 --> 01:22:22,640 Speaker 6: has been hot on Miami all season long, just a 1765 01:22:22,680 --> 01:22:24,960 Speaker 6: couple of weeks ago, says if they get in the tournament, 1766 01:22:25,000 --> 01:22:26,559 Speaker 6: they're as dangerous as anybody. 1767 01:22:26,640 --> 01:22:28,040 Speaker 2: Those are the words of Nick Saban. 1768 01:22:28,280 --> 01:22:31,960 Speaker 6: They got incredible speed on defense, best pass rusher in 1769 01:22:32,040 --> 01:22:35,439 Speaker 6: college football, best left tackle in college football. If Beck 1770 01:22:35,560 --> 01:22:38,080 Speaker 6: doesn't turn the ball over, which has been an issue 1771 01:22:38,080 --> 01:22:40,559 Speaker 6: in their losses but not in their wins. If he 1772 01:22:40,640 --> 01:22:44,120 Speaker 6: doesn't turn the ball over, I think Miami is very dangerous. 1773 01:22:44,240 --> 01:22:46,160 Speaker 6: So that I have them winning, I do have Old 1774 01:22:46,240 --> 01:22:48,200 Speaker 6: Miss advancing, and I'm kind of rooting a little bit 1775 01:22:48,240 --> 01:22:49,760 Speaker 6: for Old Miss. I'd like to see them win the 1776 01:22:49,840 --> 01:22:53,040 Speaker 6: national championship. Frankly, Okayan Kevin can show. 1777 01:22:53,120 --> 01:22:54,519 Speaker 10: I would like that too, Although doesn't he get a 1778 01:22:54,560 --> 01:22:56,120 Speaker 10: bonus or something from you? 1779 01:22:56,439 --> 01:22:57,000 Speaker 2: I don't care. 1780 01:22:57,120 --> 01:22:59,320 Speaker 6: I just want to see them celebrate without him. I 1781 01:22:59,400 --> 01:23:00,120 Speaker 6: like it. 1782 01:23:00,160 --> 01:23:02,080 Speaker 7: I want to see Yeah, I wouldn't mind that, but 1783 01:23:02,120 --> 01:23:02,720 Speaker 7: I don't want it. 1784 01:23:03,160 --> 01:23:07,439 Speaker 6: I'm taking Oklahoma over Alabama. I'm not sure Alabama is 1785 01:23:07,439 --> 01:23:10,479 Speaker 6: playing great football right now. And Kaylin de Bor's calling 1786 01:23:10,560 --> 01:23:15,760 Speaker 6: up plays for Bryce Underwood already, oh, drawing those on 1787 01:23:15,800 --> 01:23:16,720 Speaker 6: the plane. 1788 01:23:16,560 --> 01:23:18,760 Speaker 2: Like, hey, what are you doing there, coach? Nothing nothing 1789 01:23:19,280 --> 01:23:19,960 Speaker 2: going at my work? 1790 01:23:20,040 --> 01:23:22,320 Speaker 10: Yeah, coach? Why is everything in blue and yellow? 1791 01:23:22,400 --> 01:23:25,280 Speaker 2: Why do you have I love Jordan Marshall on your notebook? 1792 01:23:25,320 --> 01:23:25,519 Speaker 7: Coach? 1793 01:23:25,520 --> 01:23:27,639 Speaker 2: Why did you tattoo Ann Arbor on your butt? 1794 01:23:28,640 --> 01:23:32,640 Speaker 6: So I think the distracted Crimson tide loves to Oklahoma, 1795 01:23:33,240 --> 01:23:37,120 Speaker 6: who's a very physical defensive team. I do have Oregon 1796 01:23:37,200 --> 01:23:39,760 Speaker 6: over James Madison, but I do have Oregon losing to 1797 01:23:39,840 --> 01:23:43,479 Speaker 6: Texas Tech. I liked Rick new Isel saying that yesterday 1798 01:23:43,479 --> 01:23:45,320 Speaker 6: because I was already leaning that way. 1799 01:23:45,520 --> 01:23:47,560 Speaker 2: I think text Tech's the real deal. They might be 1800 01:23:47,600 --> 01:23:49,840 Speaker 2: the best defensive team in the country. I mean, they're 1801 01:23:49,840 --> 01:23:51,599 Speaker 2: outstanding on that side of the ball. 1802 01:23:52,200 --> 01:23:56,880 Speaker 6: Indiana, I have winning a squeaker over Oklahoma, Georgia taking 1803 01:23:56,920 --> 01:23:59,960 Speaker 6: care of Ole Miss, and Ohio State moving past Miami, 1804 01:24:00,360 --> 01:24:02,960 Speaker 6: and I got Ohio State and Texas Tech in the 1805 01:24:03,040 --> 01:24:06,200 Speaker 6: national championship game, with the Buckeyes. 1806 01:24:05,920 --> 01:24:08,439 Speaker 2: Winning at all for the second year. I'll see you. Yeah, 1807 01:24:08,520 --> 01:24:09,479 Speaker 2: it's all said and done down. 1808 01:24:10,040 --> 01:24:12,559 Speaker 6: I mean, they're just the narrow differences, xept for Bucky's 1809 01:24:12,560 --> 01:24:15,519 Speaker 6: Bucki's got Oregon going all the way. That's noticeably different 1810 01:24:15,560 --> 01:24:17,000 Speaker 6: than the rest of us. But it's going to come 1811 01:24:17,000 --> 01:24:19,519 Speaker 6: down to, you know, one or two games. That's basically 1812 01:24:19,520 --> 01:24:21,360 Speaker 6: what's going to come down to.

We're doing good. 1850 01:26:02,760 --> 01:26:04,840 Speaker 2: Happy holidays to you by the way. 1851 01:26:05,640 --> 01:26:09,160 Speaker 6: And yeah, and I would imagine at this point there's 1852 01:26:09,160 --> 01:26:11,720 Speaker 6: not a Cracking fan that's not wishing for a win 1853 01:26:11,840 --> 01:26:16,080 Speaker 6: under the tree at this point nine losses out of ten. 1854 01:26:16,640 --> 01:26:19,160 Speaker 6: Everett told us yesterday we had the conversation. He doesn't 1855 01:26:19,160 --> 01:26:21,599 Speaker 6: think the team's playing poorly, they're just not winning games. 1856 01:26:21,600 --> 01:26:24,120 Speaker 6: And I think that's exactly what happened again last night. 1857 01:26:24,120 --> 01:26:26,519 Speaker 6: You face the best team in the NHL on paper, 1858 01:26:26,640 --> 01:26:29,080 Speaker 6: you hang with them, and yet you can't pull out 1859 01:26:29,120 --> 01:26:31,240 Speaker 6: a win. What's it going to take to get this 1860 01:26:31,280 --> 01:26:32,080 Speaker 6: thing over the top? 1861 01:26:32,120 --> 01:26:36,080 Speaker 11: Al, Yeah, it's frustrating because because what you start doing 1862 01:26:36,200 --> 01:26:39,639 Speaker 11: is you analyze, you know, what went wrong, whether it's 1863 01:26:40,240 --> 01:26:42,880 Speaker 11: you know, whether it's a nine to nothing loss or 1864 01:26:43,360 --> 01:26:46,200 Speaker 11: a five three loss, what went wrong? And the Cracking 1865 01:26:46,400 --> 01:26:49,000 Speaker 11: going into that third period up by a goal three 1866 01:26:49,040 --> 01:26:51,439 Speaker 11: to two, you felt pretty good about that. If I 1867 01:26:51,479 --> 01:26:54,280 Speaker 11: have said, hey, you know, in the next game against Colorado, 1868 01:26:54,360 --> 01:26:56,400 Speaker 11: I'll spot your three goals, it'll be three two going 1869 01:26:56,439 --> 01:26:58,479 Speaker 11: to the third. You'd take that every single time. And 1870 01:26:59,040 --> 01:27:01,120 Speaker 11: when you look at the the final score and you 1871 01:27:01,160 --> 01:27:03,160 Speaker 11: say what went wrong, it just comes down to a 1872 01:27:03,160 --> 01:27:06,120 Speaker 11: couple of mistakes. And that's the way it is with 1873 01:27:06,200 --> 01:27:08,400 Speaker 11: this team right now. That's the way it is in playoffs. 1874 01:27:08,400 --> 01:27:10,639 Speaker 11: So the senior they figure it out. The senior they'll 1875 01:27:10,640 --> 01:27:12,600 Speaker 11: get moving back up the standings, and they're gonna have 1876 01:27:12,640 --> 01:27:14,879 Speaker 11: to play that way if they do make the playoffs. 1877 01:27:14,960 --> 01:27:18,320 Speaker 11: So how they get it turned around. They've got to 1878 01:27:18,320 --> 01:27:20,280 Speaker 11: look at those mistakes and they've got to clean them up. 1879 01:27:20,360 --> 01:27:23,600 Speaker 11: It's it's a it's a bad clear there, it's a 1880 01:27:23,720 --> 01:27:25,160 Speaker 11: it's a bad penalty here. 1881 01:27:25,280 --> 01:27:26,760 Speaker 7: It's it's you know. 1882 01:27:26,920 --> 01:27:30,000 Speaker 11: Uh, not backchecking correctly when you're trying to pick up 1883 01:27:30,000 --> 01:27:31,840 Speaker 11: the you know the right guy, you take the wrong guy. 1884 01:27:32,200 --> 01:27:34,400 Speaker 11: These things all come out and film, and they happen 1885 01:27:34,479 --> 01:27:38,120 Speaker 11: every single time for both teams. But unfortunately, the Kraken 1886 01:27:38,240 --> 01:27:41,400 Speaker 11: are are getting punished by them a little more frequently 1887 01:27:41,400 --> 01:27:43,360 Speaker 11: than they're able to punish. The teams are playing and 1888 01:27:43,439 --> 01:27:46,080 Speaker 11: let's let's face it. You know, last night it was Colorado, 1889 01:27:46,200 --> 01:27:48,599 Speaker 11: the best team in the league, and they took advantage 1890 01:27:48,600 --> 01:27:49,320 Speaker 11: of those mistakes. 1891 01:27:49,960 --> 01:27:52,400 Speaker 4: Yeah, even though they hung with them, I mean towards 1892 01:27:52,479 --> 01:27:55,479 Speaker 4: the end there there was that little scuffle where they 1893 01:27:55,640 --> 01:27:58,679 Speaker 4: end up handing out what like four miners or double 1894 01:27:58,720 --> 01:28:02,680 Speaker 4: miners or something, and they didn't show on TV. I 1895 01:28:02,760 --> 01:28:04,840 Speaker 4: kind of saw on TV that Montour was kind of 1896 01:28:04,880 --> 01:28:07,000 Speaker 4: slow to get up after he got involved in the 1897 01:28:07,040 --> 01:28:10,120 Speaker 4: whole thing, and then he didn't return. Did you see 1898 01:28:10,160 --> 01:28:12,320 Speaker 4: anything that they didn't show on TV that would lead 1899 01:28:12,360 --> 01:28:14,360 Speaker 4: us into any information at all on him? 1900 01:28:15,479 --> 01:28:19,240 Speaker 11: You know, in those skirmishes like that, obviously there's sticks 1901 01:28:19,280 --> 01:28:22,600 Speaker 11: and there's you know, punches, and guys fall into the 1902 01:28:22,600 --> 01:28:26,160 Speaker 11: ground and you just can't tell what happens to Monteur 1903 01:28:26,240 --> 01:28:29,120 Speaker 11: and the replays that I've seen, other than maybe he 1904 01:28:29,160 --> 01:28:32,720 Speaker 11: went down awkwardly and hit his head, which could be 1905 01:28:32,760 --> 01:28:37,519 Speaker 11: the reason why he didn't return. Again, I'm speculating. We 1906 01:28:37,560 --> 01:28:40,360 Speaker 11: initially thought he went for stitches, which you know, for 1907 01:28:40,400 --> 01:28:42,519 Speaker 11: a guy like Brandon Montour or any hockey player for 1908 01:28:42,560 --> 01:28:44,320 Speaker 11: that man, that's not going to stop them from coming 1909 01:28:44,360 --> 01:28:47,400 Speaker 11: back to the game. So I too, am a little 1910 01:28:47,439 --> 01:28:50,519 Speaker 11: bit curious as to what the longer term outlook is 1911 01:28:50,520 --> 01:28:54,000 Speaker 11: for Brandon Montour, but I'm guessing it had something to 1912 01:28:54,040 --> 01:28:57,920 Speaker 11: do with, you know, not necessarily a punch, because that 1913 01:28:58,000 --> 01:29:01,479 Speaker 11: usually ends up either nothing or stitches at the worst, 1914 01:29:01,760 --> 01:29:03,960 Speaker 11: but maybe going down to the ice, which is why 1915 01:29:04,000 --> 01:29:04,719 Speaker 11: he didn't return. 1916 01:29:05,520 --> 01:29:08,120 Speaker 6: Al Kiniski is with US color Analyst for your Seattle 1917 01:29:08,400 --> 01:29:11,439 Speaker 6: crack and losers for the ninth time and ten games 1918 01:29:11,600 --> 01:29:14,639 Speaker 6: last night, five to three of the final score against 1919 01:29:14,640 --> 01:29:17,800 Speaker 6: the Colorado Avalanche, who have lost only two games all 1920 01:29:17,840 --> 01:29:20,160 Speaker 6: season long to this point. 1921 01:29:20,640 --> 01:29:22,879 Speaker 2: Your reaction to Lane Lambert. 1922 01:29:23,520 --> 01:29:26,160 Speaker 6: I know the team is scuffling right now, but he 1923 01:29:26,160 --> 01:29:29,280 Speaker 6: held a press conference in which he didn't allow the 1924 01:29:29,360 --> 01:29:34,160 Speaker 6: press to ask him any questions that looked for members 1925 01:29:34,200 --> 01:29:34,759 Speaker 6: of the media. 1926 01:29:35,600 --> 01:29:37,960 Speaker 2: I find that a bit unacceptable. 1927 01:29:38,040 --> 01:29:40,519 Speaker 6: I don't think that we've got some hard hitting Seattle 1928 01:29:40,600 --> 01:29:42,280 Speaker 6: media corps here that has. 1929 01:29:42,520 --> 01:29:46,040 Speaker 2: Worn you know, Lane Lambert out after every loss. 1930 01:29:46,760 --> 01:29:49,240 Speaker 6: I think that's pretty cheap to kind of back away 1931 01:29:49,320 --> 01:29:51,840 Speaker 6: from the questions that should be asked when you've lost 1932 01:29:52,200 --> 01:29:53,320 Speaker 6: nine games out of ten. 1933 01:29:53,360 --> 01:29:54,599 Speaker 2: What was your reaction to that? 1934 01:29:55,680 --> 01:29:57,200 Speaker 11: Yeah, I wasn't in the room for it, but I 1935 01:29:57,200 --> 01:30:00,240 Speaker 11: did watch start watching listen to it, and from I 1936 01:30:00,280 --> 01:30:03,599 Speaker 11: can tell, there's a lot of frustration in his answers. 1937 01:30:03,600 --> 01:30:06,799 Speaker 11: And it's not frustration at the Seattle media. It's frustration 1938 01:30:06,920 --> 01:30:08,599 Speaker 11: on where the team is at right now. Like you said, 1939 01:30:08,640 --> 01:30:11,640 Speaker 11: they're in all these games, they're just you know, they 1940 01:30:11,640 --> 01:30:14,120 Speaker 11: can't get over the top. And I think that frustration 1941 01:30:14,280 --> 01:30:18,320 Speaker 11: probably came out in that postgame media veil and that 1942 01:30:18,479 --> 01:30:21,280 Speaker 11: that's what you saw and heard there. I don't think 1943 01:30:21,320 --> 01:30:22,120 Speaker 11: that'll happen again. 1944 01:30:22,880 --> 01:30:26,799 Speaker 4: Yeah, I am concerned just a little bit about how 1945 01:30:26,960 --> 01:30:29,760 Speaker 4: long it's taken them to kind of reverse the trend here. 1946 01:30:29,840 --> 01:30:32,599 Speaker 4: Yesterday was a moral victory as far as how well 1947 01:30:32,640 --> 01:30:35,280 Speaker 4: they played, taking you know, ended up having the lead 1948 01:30:35,320 --> 01:30:38,200 Speaker 4: against the team that's, you know, arguably the best team 1949 01:30:38,240 --> 01:30:40,840 Speaker 4: in the NHL right now. But moral victories don't pay 1950 01:30:40,880 --> 01:30:43,679 Speaker 4: the bills. Moral victories are not going to be enough. 1951 01:30:43,720 --> 01:30:47,080 Speaker 4: And so I mean, is there is there something besides 1952 01:30:47,160 --> 01:30:49,640 Speaker 4: just they're just not finding that little thing at the 1953 01:30:49,760 --> 01:30:52,439 Speaker 4: end that the other team does. Is there something in 1954 01:30:52,560 --> 01:30:55,479 Speaker 4: general where it's like yesterday, I know, I was listening 1955 01:30:55,479 --> 01:30:57,840 Speaker 4: to you and Fitz and you guys are talking about 1956 01:30:57,880 --> 01:31:00,479 Speaker 4: how many block shots there was, and that to me 1957 01:31:00,960 --> 01:31:02,960 Speaker 4: is just a toughness thing. I would imagine where you 1958 01:31:03,000 --> 01:31:05,360 Speaker 4: just got to sit there and be like, yeah, go ahead, slapshot, 1959 01:31:05,400 --> 01:31:07,160 Speaker 4: I'll put my body in front of it. That doesn't 1960 01:31:07,200 --> 01:31:10,080 Speaker 4: sound all that fun, and yet it was working and 1961 01:31:10,120 --> 01:31:11,519 Speaker 4: it kept them in the game and even had the 1962 01:31:11,600 --> 01:31:16,040 Speaker 4: lead into the third period. So is there a toughness 1963 01:31:16,040 --> 01:31:18,439 Speaker 4: thing that you're seeing that they did yesterday even though 1964 01:31:18,439 --> 01:31:19,639 Speaker 4: it didn't turn into a victory. 1965 01:31:20,680 --> 01:31:20,880 Speaker 1: Oh? 1966 01:31:20,920 --> 01:31:24,360 Speaker 11: Absolutely, I mean, Bucky, the block shots were two to one, 1967 01:31:24,400 --> 01:31:26,200 Speaker 11: I think at the end of the second period, twenty 1968 01:31:26,200 --> 01:31:28,640 Speaker 11: to ten for the cracking. And you know, on the 1969 01:31:28,640 --> 01:31:30,120 Speaker 11: one hand, you might say, well, you wouldn't have to 1970 01:31:30,160 --> 01:31:31,880 Speaker 11: block so many shots if you didn't give this team 1971 01:31:31,960 --> 01:31:34,160 Speaker 11: so many shots on goal. But they knew they were 1972 01:31:34,160 --> 01:31:37,760 Speaker 11: facing this high octane Colorado Avalanche team, and you knew 1973 01:31:37,760 --> 01:31:40,200 Speaker 11: that guys like Nathan mckinn and kill mccarr were going 1974 01:31:40,240 --> 01:31:42,800 Speaker 11: to be firing the fucks. So your choice is, you know, 1975 01:31:43,240 --> 01:31:45,080 Speaker 11: accept the fact that they're going to put pucks on 1976 01:31:45,120 --> 01:31:47,840 Speaker 11: it and let those tucks get through, or sacrifice your 1977 01:31:47,880 --> 01:31:50,160 Speaker 11: body to get in front of them as often as possible. 1978 01:31:50,160 --> 01:31:52,160 Speaker 11: And that's what they were doing. So absolutely there's a 1979 01:31:52,160 --> 01:31:52,920 Speaker 11: toughness factor. 1980 01:31:52,960 --> 01:31:53,240 Speaker 7: There. 1981 01:31:53,439 --> 01:31:55,160 Speaker 11: They knew they had to sign up for that to 1982 01:31:55,240 --> 01:31:58,000 Speaker 11: be in the game, and that's a big reason for 1983 01:31:58,920 --> 01:32:00,960 Speaker 11: why they were in the game. I think, you know, 1984 01:32:01,000 --> 01:32:04,479 Speaker 11: as far as moral victories go, I would put it 1985 01:32:04,520 --> 01:32:10,360 Speaker 11: more as a forward looking victory, meaning that the last 1986 01:32:10,400 --> 01:32:12,799 Speaker 11: four games here before Christmas, they're going to face Calgary, 1987 01:32:12,840 --> 01:32:16,280 Speaker 11: San Jose, Anaheim, and LA and they're going to face 1988 01:32:16,640 --> 01:32:19,200 Speaker 11: those teams are all in the Pacific Division, All but 1989 01:32:19,360 --> 01:32:22,200 Speaker 11: Calgary are above them in the standings. You have to 1990 01:32:22,200 --> 01:32:23,640 Speaker 11: go out and win those games. And I think that 1991 01:32:24,120 --> 01:32:26,479 Speaker 11: if you play the way you did last night, not 1992 01:32:26,520 --> 01:32:28,439 Speaker 11: only will you put yourself in a position to win, 1993 01:32:28,760 --> 01:32:30,720 Speaker 11: but you could have some statement wins in there. 1994 01:32:30,760 --> 01:32:31,000 Speaker 7: Now. 1995 01:32:31,280 --> 01:32:33,320 Speaker 11: Playing that way every single night, eighty two games a 1996 01:32:33,400 --> 01:32:36,320 Speaker 11: year is not easy, but that I think they showed 1997 01:32:36,320 --> 01:32:38,720 Speaker 11: themselves last night that they could play with this Colorado 1998 01:32:38,920 --> 01:32:41,479 Speaker 11: Colorado Avalanche team. If they can play with them, they 1999 01:32:41,479 --> 01:32:42,479 Speaker 11: can play with anybody. 2000 01:32:42,600 --> 01:32:44,840 Speaker 2: All can eski with us a segment. It brought to 2001 01:32:44,840 --> 01:32:47,400 Speaker 2: you every week by the Queen and Beer Hall. What 2002 01:32:47,439 --> 01:32:49,800 Speaker 2: a fun place that is. I got to ask about 2003 01:32:49,840 --> 01:32:50,840 Speaker 2: Shane Wright. 2004 01:32:52,120 --> 01:32:54,920 Speaker 6: Going into last night, he had not had a point 2005 01:32:55,040 --> 01:32:57,840 Speaker 6: since the fourth of December. He had not had a 2006 01:32:57,880 --> 01:33:02,160 Speaker 6: goal since November twentieth, and I think even what's most alarming, 2007 01:33:02,439 --> 01:33:07,559 Speaker 6: seventeenth on the team in ice time. This was supposed 2008 01:33:07,560 --> 01:33:11,920 Speaker 6: to be I thought, potentially our best offensive player this year. 2009 01:33:12,560 --> 01:33:15,280 Speaker 2: What he did finally score a goal last night. 2010 01:33:15,439 --> 01:33:18,680 Speaker 6: So what has been the problem that Lane Lambert has 2011 01:33:18,680 --> 01:33:21,639 Speaker 6: had with giving Shane Wright Moore ice time? And do 2012 01:33:21,680 --> 01:33:24,400 Speaker 6: you think that last night's goal may unlock him for 2013 01:33:24,439 --> 01:33:24,760 Speaker 6: the year. 2014 01:33:25,880 --> 01:33:27,760 Speaker 11: Well, I think it's gonna help for sure. And I 2015 01:33:27,760 --> 01:33:30,120 Speaker 11: think that each game that goes by where the Kraken 2016 01:33:30,200 --> 01:33:33,280 Speaker 11: don't end up on the winning side, Lane Lambert says, Okay, well, 2017 01:33:33,320 --> 01:33:35,639 Speaker 11: who were my best players from last game, Let's reward 2018 01:33:35,680 --> 01:33:37,720 Speaker 11: them for some more ice time. I think that's what 2019 01:33:37,760 --> 01:33:40,840 Speaker 11: you saw with Freddie Gudreau, who has moved up the 2020 01:33:40,880 --> 01:33:42,800 Speaker 11: lineup from the fourth line. He was in the top 2021 01:33:42,840 --> 01:33:46,640 Speaker 11: line wing last night. So Maddy Benier's, Mason marshmurt and 2022 01:33:46,680 --> 01:33:48,760 Speaker 11: Jordan Eberley. That line that was kind of riding the 2023 01:33:48,840 --> 01:33:52,200 Speaker 11: number one spot for at least half a dozen games, 2024 01:33:52,240 --> 01:33:54,960 Speaker 11: if not most of the season, dropped into that second 2025 01:33:54,960 --> 01:33:57,679 Speaker 11: line position. And so I think, you know, Lane Lambert 2026 01:33:57,720 --> 01:34:01,080 Speaker 11: will continue to reward the guys that are are playing hard, 2027 01:34:01,160 --> 01:34:04,439 Speaker 11: having success, and that line of Right, Newman and Coco 2028 01:34:04,560 --> 01:34:07,120 Speaker 11: last night was one of your best, if not your 2029 01:34:07,160 --> 01:34:09,559 Speaker 11: best line out there. I think the Stevenson line played 2030 01:34:09,680 --> 01:34:14,080 Speaker 11: very well also, but uh, Yanni Newman was was was 2031 01:34:14,080 --> 01:34:16,719 Speaker 11: was close on a couple of opportunities. He was involved 2032 01:34:16,720 --> 01:34:19,040 Speaker 11: in that Shane Wright goal. He was he had he 2033 01:34:19,080 --> 01:34:21,080 Speaker 11: had the last touch before Right put the puck in 2034 01:34:21,120 --> 01:34:24,760 Speaker 11: the net. I think Coppo Coco is another guy that 2035 01:34:25,120 --> 01:34:28,679 Speaker 11: you know, Lane Lambert is trying to unlock him as well. 2036 01:34:29,240 --> 01:34:31,639 Speaker 11: I don't think he's having as productive of a season 2037 01:34:31,680 --> 01:34:33,960 Speaker 11: as he had last season, and he knows it, and 2038 01:34:34,000 --> 01:34:35,760 Speaker 11: so he's trying to figure that out as well. So 2039 01:34:36,120 --> 01:34:39,040 Speaker 11: you get those three guys going and gosh, by the 2040 01:34:39,080 --> 01:34:40,640 Speaker 11: end of the season, they could be your second or 2041 01:34:40,680 --> 01:34:43,799 Speaker 11: first line. And and so I think it's small steps. 2042 01:34:43,840 --> 01:34:46,000 Speaker 11: I think that that you know, we're all waiting for 2043 01:34:47,360 --> 01:34:50,360 Speaker 11: a breakout, you know, six twelve games for Shane right, 2044 01:34:50,800 --> 01:34:53,000 Speaker 11: but it hasn't come yet. And I think that last 2045 01:34:53,080 --> 01:34:55,599 Speaker 11: night getting that goal gives him a little more confidence 2046 01:34:55,680 --> 01:34:59,439 Speaker 11: going into this last four game set before Christmas, and 2047 01:34:59,439 --> 01:35:01,000 Speaker 11: and that that could be a difference maker. 2048 01:35:01,240 --> 01:35:04,439 Speaker 6: All right, So finally at Calgary, I call it Kyle 2049 01:35:04,439 --> 01:35:08,000 Speaker 6: Gary tomorrow night as they take on the Flames. 2050 01:35:08,000 --> 01:35:10,200 Speaker 2: Not a very good team, I mean the way we're going. 2051 01:35:10,400 --> 01:35:12,439 Speaker 6: I know that there's a lot of season left, but 2052 01:35:12,479 --> 01:35:15,920 Speaker 6: are we getting into must win territory against a sub 2053 01:35:16,320 --> 01:35:18,160 Speaker 6: five hundred team here tomorrow night. 2054 01:35:19,320 --> 01:35:21,080 Speaker 11: Well, for a long time there we were looking at 2055 01:35:21,120 --> 01:35:25,080 Speaker 11: Calgary going well, this is probably the team that's having 2056 01:35:25,120 --> 01:35:28,439 Speaker 11: the hardest start to the season in the Western Conference 2057 01:35:28,439 --> 01:35:31,360 Speaker 11: and certainly the Pacific Division. It's now Vancouver at twenty 2058 01:35:31,439 --> 01:35:34,400 Speaker 11: nine points, and meanwhile Calgary at thirty is tied with 2059 01:35:34,479 --> 01:35:37,080 Speaker 11: Seattle at thirty points. So Seattle has to look at 2060 01:35:37,080 --> 01:35:40,400 Speaker 11: themselves now and say, we don't want to drop below Calgary. 2061 01:35:40,400 --> 01:35:41,800 Speaker 11: We want to be the better team and we want 2062 01:35:41,800 --> 01:35:46,080 Speaker 11: to start chasing these teams above the San Jose, La Evanton, etc. 2063 01:35:46,479 --> 01:35:48,759 Speaker 11: So to do that, you've got to beat the teams 2064 01:35:49,000 --> 01:35:51,120 Speaker 11: that are sitting below you in the standings, and that 2065 01:35:51,200 --> 01:35:53,040 Speaker 11: starts tomorrow night with this Calgary team. 2066 01:35:53,160 --> 01:35:55,280 Speaker 2: Didn't Vancouver win the division last year? 2067 01:35:56,720 --> 01:35:59,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, Vancouver a tough run. As of late. 2068 01:36:00,280 --> 01:36:02,960 Speaker 11: They just traded away with Quinn Hughes and you know, 2069 01:36:03,400 --> 01:36:06,120 Speaker 11: lots to talk about that trade. They got three first 2070 01:36:06,200 --> 01:36:09,600 Speaker 11: round our three first round players that were chosen in 2071 01:36:09,600 --> 01:36:12,160 Speaker 11: the first round, plus a first round pick for next 2072 01:36:12,200 --> 01:36:14,880 Speaker 11: year's draft that could pay off depending on where that 2073 01:36:14,920 --> 01:36:17,639 Speaker 11: pick lands. But you know, a couple of years ago 2074 01:36:18,280 --> 01:36:21,760 Speaker 11: they were in the Stanley Cup contention hunt. So they've 2075 01:36:21,800 --> 01:36:24,760 Speaker 11: taken a big step backwards. They're definitely in a retooling 2076 01:36:24,920 --> 01:36:25,760 Speaker 11: position right now. 2077 01:36:25,800 --> 01:36:28,920 Speaker 6: All Right, I was wrong about that, but yeah, they 2078 01:36:28,960 --> 01:36:30,640 Speaker 6: certainly have. They it was the year before. It was 2079 01:36:30,680 --> 01:36:33,479 Speaker 6: two years ago that they won the Divice. All right, 2080 01:36:33,479 --> 01:36:37,000 Speaker 6: al awesome stuff. Hopefully we get it going here starting 2081 01:36:37,040 --> 01:36:37,680 Speaker 6: tomorrow night. 2082 01:36:37,720 --> 01:36:38,400 Speaker 2: We'll be listening. 2083 01:36:39,680 --> 01:36:41,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, I appreciate it.
