I think you're aware of that defense 46 00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:40,760 Speaker 2: wins championships. It is a cliche. It has disappeared, however, 47 00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:45,079 Speaker 2: in this era of explosive offensive football. But for one 48 00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:49,640 Speaker 2: night it was back run the ball, stop the run, 49 00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:53,520 Speaker 2: stay committed to running the ball, and it worked.

He's like, what are you 68 00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:52,120 Speaker 6: gonna do a in the game, John, He's like, no, 69 00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:54,040 Speaker 6: I'm gonna have a couple of pops in the parking lot, a. 70 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:57,480 Speaker 2: Couple beers nuts, right, Marcus Allen. 71 00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:01,240 Speaker 3: Ah right, Marcus Allen against the Redskins. 72 00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:03,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, I remember that Otis Anderson, as you mentioned, he 73 00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:04,360 Speaker 2: did the. 74 00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:09,240 Speaker 6: Big giant forearm wind up on Mark Kelso's man right 75 00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:10,040 Speaker 6: on his neck. 76 00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:13,480 Speaker 2: And of course Emitt Smith with the Dallas Cowboys. Those 77 00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:16,160 Speaker 2: were the others. If you could give an MVP. 78 00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:18,400 Speaker 3: What say, Kwon Barkley didn't win the MVP. 79 00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:18,720 Speaker 1: Did not. 80 00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:23,520 Speaker 2: You could have given you truly could have given the MVP. 81 00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:27,560 Speaker 2: It'd have been weird to Michael Big D Dixon, the 82 00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:30,839 Speaker 2: punter for pinning the Patriots offense that could not get 83 00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:33,320 Speaker 2: going deep on every single one of his punts. 84 00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:35,120 Speaker 3: Kicker types did like that. 85 00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:37,000 Speaker 2: You could have given it to Jason Myers for the 86 00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:41,080 Speaker 2: kicker types making autumn field goals, including three that were 87 00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:41,960 Speaker 2: over fifty yards. 88 00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:43,160 Speaker 3: You know who loves kickers? 89 00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:45,400 Speaker 2: Who's that play by play caps Damn right, we do. 90 00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:50,120 Speaker 6: But really I was watching during warmups and he was 91 00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:51,279 Speaker 6: hitting from seventy eight. 92 00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:56,119 Speaker 2: We saw this coming in warm ups. But I would say, 93 00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:00,280 Speaker 2: and I'm sure there are other cases of this, if 94 00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:03,000 Speaker 2: you could give an MVP to a coach, this would 95 00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:05,360 Speaker 2: be one of the few Super Bowls you would want 96 00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:09,919 Speaker 2: to do it in an era of analytics, advanced analytics, 97 00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:13,320 Speaker 2: going forward on fourth down, not settling for three when 98 00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:15,080 Speaker 2: you're knocking on the door in the red zone. 99 00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:16,279 Speaker 3: But it's not MVC. 100 00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:23,560 Speaker 2: No, it's MVP, but you know MVPC. Most Valuablelayer slash 101 00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:30,080 Speaker 2: coach Pete Rose McDonald recognized the identity the strength of 102 00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:32,880 Speaker 2: his team. Patriots had nothing going on offense. 103 00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:34,919 Speaker 6: I loved that Seattle won something. And I don't have 104 00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:38,240 Speaker 6: to sit here and cringe because of Pete Carroll. Yeah, 105 00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:41,599 Speaker 6: I'm in great shape. Although he built this team. I 106 00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:42,039 Speaker 6: don't care. 107 00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:48,640 Speaker 2: Hey, listen, don't you mock coacho like that? Mike McDonald 108 00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:51,240 Speaker 2: win with please despite it being a one or a 109 00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:53,400 Speaker 2: two score game. Early he took the three when he 110 00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:56,880 Speaker 2: had a fourth and manageable from the Patriots fourteen on 111 00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:59,800 Speaker 2: one drive, he took it. No, this is the this 112 00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:03,840 Speaker 2: is the incredibly articulate take. The lazy tanke would be 113 00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:06,440 Speaker 2: pH Everybody knows you go forward on fourth down when 114 00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:08,560 Speaker 2: you're in the red zone, doing a wasteed trip like 115 00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:11,520 Speaker 2: that when points are hard to come by. He also 116 00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:13,680 Speaker 2: kicked a field goal from the New England eight on 117 00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:14,440 Speaker 2: another Well. 118 00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:17,080 Speaker 6: What about the New England glacial pace on offense. I 119 00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:19,000 Speaker 6: mean that might have helped his decision making. 120 00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:22,599 Speaker 2: His defense is built to prevent the explosive play, and yes, 121 00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:25,240 Speaker 2: the Patriots got him on back to back explosives to 122 00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:27,240 Speaker 2: Mac Collins late in that game, But I would chalk 123 00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:31,040 Speaker 2: that up to a defensive back Josh Joel being a 124 00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:34,440 Speaker 2: lunkhead and getting into a shoving and a punching with 125 00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:38,400 Speaker 2: your helmet on match with Stefon Diggs. Maybe Diggs was 126 00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:41,599 Speaker 2: upset because of the news you just shared a little 127 00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:44,440 Speaker 2: bit earlier, you know, maybe he's just a little testy, 128 00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:47,840 Speaker 2: and Joeb took the bait. But he was pulled off 129 00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:50,120 Speaker 2: the field for said lunkhead behavior for a good chunk 130 00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:52,760 Speaker 2: of that third quarter, and his replacement, Rik Woollen immediately 131 00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:54,719 Speaker 2: got picked on a torch for those two completions to 132 00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:58,200 Speaker 2: Mac Collins, who shut up in a prison outfit and shackles. 133 00:06:58,240 --> 00:06:59,839 Speaker 3: At was shoeless and shoelass. 134 00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:04,320 Speaker 2: He's a guy that talks about being grounded and routinely 135 00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:11,520 Speaker 2: goes shoeless everywhere despite the temperatures. But the shackles and 136 00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:15,160 Speaker 2: the outfit from a maximum security prison in Colorado, we're 137 00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:18,480 Speaker 2: really something. But again, at that point in the game. Again, 138 00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:20,320 Speaker 2: coaching by Mike McDonald was more important to make the 139 00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:24,200 Speaker 2: point of we cannot beat ourselves. We cannot make mental 140 00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:27,400 Speaker 2: airs and give them free yards and extend drives with 141 00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:30,720 Speaker 2: bad behavior. The Patriots had nothing happening on offense. They 142 00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:33,200 Speaker 2: couldn't run the ball. They punted after a three and 143 00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:36,440 Speaker 2: out on five of their previous eight drives and the 144 00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:39,600 Speaker 2: other three were six plays ten yards, punt, one play 145 00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:42,680 Speaker 2: end of half and lost fumble. So give up the 146 00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:47,200 Speaker 2: TD when you're up nineteen. Nothing to solidify to the team. 147 00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:50,080 Speaker 2: They cannot win. They cannot move the ball on this 148 00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:53,360 Speaker 2: defense if the defense stays disciplined and the offense does 149 00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:56,720 Speaker 2: not give the ball away. That was the formula. And 150 00:07:56,840 --> 00:08:00,840 Speaker 2: after that play back to back interceptions by Drake May 151 00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:05,119 Speaker 2: won a pick six for former Trojan, former Charger, former 152 00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:08,520 Speaker 2: Narbron gaucho sheennan Owosu. We used to come on a 153 00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:11,400 Speaker 2: show quite a bit. Not a smart free agent to 154 00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:13,640 Speaker 2: let get away by the Bolts. The deal was not 155 00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:15,320 Speaker 2: that big and he's a high character guy, and good 156 00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:17,400 Speaker 2: on him for winning the Super Bowl. An scoring a 157 00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:21,240 Speaker 2: touchdown is a defender, no less. You go into the 158 00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:23,680 Speaker 2: game with the league's number one defense. You build the 159 00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:24,680 Speaker 2: game script accordingly. 160 00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:25,840 Speaker 3: That's a hard working take. 161 00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:26,800 Speaker 7: Thank you. 162 00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:29,000 Speaker 2: I appreciate that we. 163 00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:31,120 Speaker 3: Support each other here on a five seventy. That's right. 164 00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:32,520 Speaker 3: We're not tearing each other down. 165 00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:35,560 Speaker 6: No, you're not a lazy take jerk face. That might 166 00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:37,319 Speaker 6: not have been the Sadano guy. Might have been a 167 00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:37,840 Speaker 6: different guy. 168 00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:42,800 Speaker 2: Keats Oh, is that right? This is brilliant coaching. Look 169 00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:46,360 Speaker 2: at their path to the playoffs. Sam Darnold little banged 170 00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:48,240 Speaker 2: up in the divisional round. Remember, they weren't sure if 171 00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:49,560 Speaker 2: he was going to play against the forty nine ers. 172 00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:51,240 Speaker 2: They don't ask him to do too much. Only attempt 173 00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:53,920 Speaker 2: at seventeen passes, only dropped back twenty times, one hundred 174 00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:56,120 Speaker 2: and twenty four yards and a touchdown running game Kenneth 175 00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:59,800 Speaker 2: Walker three touchdowns rushing, They forced three turnovers, hammered the 176 00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:02,320 Speaker 2: four nine ers forty one to six. Behind that defense. 177 00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:06,000 Speaker 2: Play to the opponent's weakness, play to your strength. 178 00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:09,439 Speaker 6: Now they knew, well, it always bothers me when a 179 00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:13,040 Speaker 6: team wins a game because of their defense and they 180 00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:15,400 Speaker 6: put up relatively pedestrian offensive numbers. 181 00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:19,120 Speaker 3: It's because that was their plan. They knew. They didn't 182 00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:19,800 Speaker 3: have to. 183 00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:22,400 Speaker 6: Take a bunch of risks because they were loading up 184 00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:24,520 Speaker 6: in the other way. You know, every time they forced 185 00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:27,920 Speaker 6: a punt, even though they were getting good field position, 186 00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:30,920 Speaker 6: they never went after the kick and tried to block 187 00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:33,640 Speaker 6: the punt. They ran a return, they get into five 188 00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:36,640 Speaker 6: yards and they'd run his own play, got another two 189 00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:37,600 Speaker 6: three yards with Kenni. 190 00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:38,360 Speaker 3: They kept it. 191 00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:41,520 Speaker 2: Very, very manageable. Prove to us you can beat us. 192 00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:44,240 Speaker 6: They never even put Sam Darnold into position where he 193 00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:46,920 Speaker 6: could make a bad mistake to lose a game. And 194 00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:48,760 Speaker 6: now there were other games where that he needed to 195 00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:51,160 Speaker 6: play and that's the thing, but this was not that game. Yeah, 196 00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:54,760 Speaker 6: the NFC Championship. You're going up against a high powered 197 00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:58,439 Speaker 6: can hang thirty on you Rams offense. And again Clint 198 00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:00,880 Speaker 6: Kubiak acknowledged he will be the next head coach of 199 00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:03,280 Speaker 6: the Raiders. Offensive coordinator and Mike McDonald, the head coach, 200 00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:07,160 Speaker 6: built a game plan accordingly. They cut Sam Donald loose. 201 00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:10,000 Speaker 6: In Seattle two weeks ago. He threw a thirty six times, 202 00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:12,960 Speaker 6: they ran it just twenty six, and Donald torched the 203 00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:16,439 Speaker 6: Rams for three hundred and fifty passing yards, three touchdowns 204 00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:19,720 Speaker 6: and outplayed the league MVP Matthew Stafford to punch the 205 00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:22,199 Speaker 6: ticket to the Super Bowl. I thought Darnald could have 206 00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:24,360 Speaker 6: run the ball a little bit more yesterday, but it 207 00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:25,559 Speaker 6: didn't matter at the end of the day. 208 00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:27,880 Speaker 2: At the end of the night, the end of the 209 00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:30,240 Speaker 2: day of the AFC was the JV All season, the 210 00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:34,000 Speaker 2: NFC felt like whatever team was going to represent them 211 00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:36,840 Speaker 2: in the Super Bowl, with some of the injury issues, 212 00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:39,120 Speaker 2: with some of the offensive and many of the offensive 213 00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:42,000 Speaker 2: limitations to many of the teams that might have ended 214 00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:44,400 Speaker 2: up there, the only way they lose the game was 215 00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:46,880 Speaker 2: to beat themselves. And when Sam didn't see it, like 216 00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:49,120 Speaker 2: you said, he threw it away. And for those saying 217 00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:50,920 Speaker 2: that some of those throws were lucky that he didn't 218 00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:53,280 Speaker 2: get picked off, like the first one, that is a 219 00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:57,760 Speaker 2: product of Christian Gonzales, one of the three, maybe two 220 00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:00,280 Speaker 2: best cornerbacks in the league. He will be made than 221 00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:03,120 Speaker 2: the highest paid corner this offse just making incredible plays 222 00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:06,599 Speaker 2: on the ball that most corners can't. Probably had a 223 00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:09,040 Speaker 2: shot to pick off one of those. Legitimately the rest 224 00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:11,559 Speaker 2: completions against most of the defensive backs and the league 225 00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:15,240 Speaker 2: that Sam didn't take sacks, just one. He delivered strikes 226 00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:18,240 Speaker 2: when the pocket was collapsing. Took six hits, but the 227 00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:20,160 Speaker 2: old line did a pretty good job of keeping him clean. 228 00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:22,000 Speaker 2: And like you said, Pete didn't even really get out 229 00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:23,840 Speaker 2: and take the yards run and he just kind of 230 00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:27,480 Speaker 2: threw the ball away or just lived for another play. 231 00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:31,840 Speaker 2: They were very conservative. Yeah, and it's not like Drake May. Yeah, 232 00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:34,000 Speaker 2: he did not have a great game, that's for sure. 233 00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:37,840 Speaker 2: The interception by Love downfield was a bad throw at 234 00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:39,920 Speaker 2: a bad time when they were trying to mount a comeback. 235 00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:42,920 Speaker 2: But otherwise, his offensive line was terrible, and we talked 236 00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:45,240 Speaker 2: about that going into this game. They were terrible all 237 00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:48,200 Speaker 2: playoff long. He was under dress all night. He was 238 00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:50,520 Speaker 2: sacked six times, he was hit eleven times. He threw 239 00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:53,160 Speaker 2: two interceptions, he lost to fumble, He had four turnover 240 00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:56,559 Speaker 2: worthy plays. His O line gave up twenty eight pressures 241 00:11:57,040 --> 00:11:59,200 Speaker 2: over half of his dropbacks. He was pressured, and he 242 00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:03,160 Speaker 2: was only blitched thirteen percent of those forty three attempts. 243 00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:06,000 Speaker 2: And every time Devin Witherspoon came from the slot, he 244 00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:09,480 Speaker 2: was unblocked. So they were getting home with four. They 245 00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:12,160 Speaker 2: were getting there in a hurry. And that's what it 246 00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:14,640 Speaker 2: was against the Chargers, who had five sacks. That's what 247 00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:17,480 Speaker 2: it was against the Texans who had five sacks and 248 00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:21,600 Speaker 2: the Broncos who had five sacks. But those teams did 249 00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:25,320 Speaker 2: not have an offense. They could not put up any points. 250 00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:28,360 Speaker 2: And I know the stat was shown multiple times that 251 00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:31,080 Speaker 2: the Patriot defense, especially through the first half when the 252 00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:33,920 Speaker 2: Seattle Seahawks only had six points, had only given up 253 00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:35,440 Speaker 2: eight and a half points per game in the three 254 00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:38,880 Speaker 2: playoff games end route to the Super Bowl. But their 255 00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:42,240 Speaker 2: offense had scored under sixteen points in those same three games. 256 00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:45,840 Speaker 2: So don't give him any easy points, don't turn it over, 257 00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:50,720 Speaker 2: and seventeen points wins the championship. Was it fun to watch? No? 258 00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:51,800 Speaker 3: It was not. 259 00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:56,920 Speaker 2: Fifteen combined punts five field goals pretty much sucks. But 260 00:12:57,040 --> 00:12:59,920 Speaker 2: Seattle was not in the put on a show in 261 00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:02,000 Speaker 2: get ratings business. They were in the kind of the 262 00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:04,560 Speaker 2: way the Patriots won, right, Yeah, like you said, all 263 00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:06,880 Speaker 2: of their games were won by not They. 264 00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:08,439 Speaker 6: Didn't put the ball at risk too much. They knew 265 00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:11,200 Speaker 6: their defense was good enough to beat the Chargers. Chargers 266 00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:13,679 Speaker 6: have no tackles. They do that they were gonna be 267 00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:16,800 Speaker 6: good enough to beat Nobo Nicks, you know, Yeah, they 268 00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:18,760 Speaker 6: figured it out, good coach, don't f it up. 269 00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:21,439 Speaker 2: Two good coaches, and both of these stared at each 270 00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:22,959 Speaker 2: other like, we're not gonna make a mistake. Yeah, you're 271 00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:24,600 Speaker 2: gonna make a mistake.

But how gratifying 344 00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:10,879 Speaker 6: was it last night to see what Sam Darnold was 345 00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:13,560 Speaker 6: able to pull off, given what a great story he 346 00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:15,440 Speaker 6: is and what a great player he was for you. 347 00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:18,960 Speaker 7: I think, you know, it starts, in my opinion, when 348 00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:20,560 Speaker 7: he was young, you know, with his family and his 349 00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:23,480 Speaker 7: mom and dad, especially as he referenced during his interview, 350 00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:25,560 Speaker 7: you know, just the way he carried himself during his 351 00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:27,960 Speaker 7: time here at Secondly High School is very successful on 352 00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:30,639 Speaker 7: the field, on the basketball court, in the classroom, to 353 00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:32,800 Speaker 7: the same thing at USC and then now he's doing 354 00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:34,760 Speaker 7: the same thing in the NFL. And just as a 355 00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:37,560 Speaker 7: coach to see him be able to you know, represent 356 00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:39,560 Speaker 7: our school in our community, and the way he goes 357 00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:42,000 Speaker 7: about carrying his life is it's fun to watch and 358 00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:43,280 Speaker 7: it was a blessing to have him get a big 359 00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:43,920 Speaker 7: win last night. 360 00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:47,520 Speaker 2: Petros was talking about it last week, coach, just the 361 00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:50,880 Speaker 2: idea that Sam Darnold became a quarterback, a multi sport athlete, 362 00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:53,919 Speaker 2: you know, linebacker, tight end, basketball, start kind of give 363 00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:56,160 Speaker 2: us an idea of that path to being a quarterback, 364 00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:59,040 Speaker 2: what you saw in him at that position, and how 365 00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:01,800 Speaker 2: likely that was going to be, you know, the end 366 00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:04,959 Speaker 2: game for him athletically when he graduated high school. 367 00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:08,359 Speaker 7: Yeah, when he came in you know, he actually his 368 00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:10,400 Speaker 7: first love was basketball when he first got to Syncamonary 369 00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:13,320 Speaker 7: High School, and football was secondary and I understand that 370 00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:15,200 Speaker 7: as part of the process of the young age for him. 371 00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:17,719 Speaker 7: And then you know, freshman year, played quarterback for us 372 00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:19,879 Speaker 7: in the freshman team. And sophomore year, you know, we 373 00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:21,919 Speaker 7: had a good senior quarterback and we were just you know, 374 00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:23,639 Speaker 7: Sam was right there neck and neck with him, but 375 00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:25,840 Speaker 7: we had a hard time John Fairhouse. Sam could throw 376 00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:27,560 Speaker 7: the ball to Sam, you know, and so we ended 377 00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:30,520 Speaker 7: up moving to Sam the wide receiver and outside linebackers. 378 00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:33,119 Speaker 7: First team All League as a sophomore for us. You know, 379 00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:36,400 Speaker 7: the first it was the league MVP in basketball as 380 00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:38,320 Speaker 7: a sophomore and you just saw the guys an athlete 381 00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:40,840 Speaker 7: and he could make plays. And his junior year came 382 00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:43,360 Speaker 7: in and started for US. Unfortunately got hurt, so going 383 00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:45,119 Speaker 7: to his senior year, he only had about four and 384 00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:48,080 Speaker 7: a half games of film, but his athleticism on the 385 00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:51,280 Speaker 7: basketball court, his clips of him passing the ball around 386 00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:53,639 Speaker 7: and making good plays in basketball and also what he 387 00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:56,359 Speaker 7: did in football, that kind of helped coach college coaches 388 00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:58,400 Speaker 7: kind of see what he could do. And of course, 389 00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:00,359 Speaker 7: going into his senior year, he had a great spring 390 00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:02,479 Speaker 7: and made the Lead eleven where one of a few 391 00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:04,720 Speaker 7: high schools we had three quarterbacks made the Lead eleven. 392 00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:07,560 Speaker 7: Our office corordiator Troy Kopp did a great job of 393 00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:10,400 Speaker 7: Sam going into that season, and of course the USC 394 00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:12,840 Speaker 7: came knocked and committed and the rest is history for him. 395 00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:16,320 Speaker 2: Coach, you mentioned basketball and it being his first love. 396 00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:18,840 Speaker 2: Give us an idea of you know, how different, if 397 00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:21,680 Speaker 2: different at all, that is anymore. You know, with the 398 00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:25,880 Speaker 2: era of specialization kids not playing multiple sports, how many 399 00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:28,040 Speaker 2: kids do you have that are not just playing basketball 400 00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:31,200 Speaker 2: but stand out basketball and football players today. 401 00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:34,679 Speaker 7: We've been very lucky. You know. Here at Sankley High School, 402 00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:37,720 Speaker 7: we have very athletic families. And I think about Cole 403 00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:41,240 Speaker 7: Follingham who ended up with the Raiders recently started at Utah. 404 00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:43,879 Speaker 7: At tight End we had Chris Kane who played the 405 00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:46,560 Speaker 7: Air Force as a basketball player as well. Last year 406 00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:48,439 Speaker 7: we had two full of players both one went to 407 00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:52,080 Speaker 7: USC went to ASU. They were played basketball as well. 408 00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:54,119 Speaker 7: And so I think the big thing is for for 409 00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:57,560 Speaker 7: a lot of coaches and programs throughout you know, California. 410 00:19:57,640 --> 00:20:00,760 Speaker 7: You know, as long as coaches worked together relationship and 411 00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:03,280 Speaker 7: we share, you know, we work together and it works 412 00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:04,920 Speaker 7: really well. It's a lot of time you get coaches 413 00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:07,480 Speaker 7: that it becomes a competition, and it comes a competition 414 00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:09,800 Speaker 7: someone's going to lose. And so I think here's Sanctly 415 00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:11,520 Speaker 7: High School, we did a great job of sharing our 416 00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:13,840 Speaker 7: athletes and and I go to basketball games all the 417 00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:16,320 Speaker 7: time supporting our kids. I think that's important for kids nowadays, 418 00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:19,359 Speaker 7: with too many kids, you know, focus on Instagram highlight 419 00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:21,760 Speaker 7: reels and videos and things like that, and I think 420 00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:23,440 Speaker 7: they got to focused on just being a kid. And 421 00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:25,200 Speaker 7: Sam maybe the first one to tell you, like, have 422 00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:27,199 Speaker 7: fun in school and go out and do every thing 423 00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:28,840 Speaker 7: you can and then when the time comes, then make 424 00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:31,040 Speaker 7: a decision if you want to, you know, pick pick 425 00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:31,760 Speaker 7: one sport. 426 00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:34,880 Speaker 6: Ending up a backup quarterback in the NFL and having 427 00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:39,800 Speaker 6: a career doing that is nothing bad. It's it's it's 428 00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:43,080 Speaker 6: actually a great accomplishment, There's no doubt about it. There 429 00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:46,199 Speaker 6: were great expectations for Sam. Did you ever think he 430 00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:48,280 Speaker 6: was going to be able to cut his way out 431 00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:51,520 Speaker 6: of the situation that kind of the circumstance of football 432 00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:52,040 Speaker 6: found him in. 433 00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:55,159 Speaker 7: I think, you know, for me, it started to hear 434 00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:58,040 Speaker 7: Sancmoney high school, you know, when he's a senior and 435 00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:00,359 Speaker 7: let our team to twelve and two record and we 436 00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:02,400 Speaker 7: were really good to the Sam Donald. Then he goes 437 00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:04,640 Speaker 7: to USC you know, leads him to a rose ball 438 00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:07,800 Speaker 7: victory and so forth, and was the Pac twelve MVP. 439 00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:09,800 Speaker 7: And he saw that that like, that's who he is. 440 00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:11,639 Speaker 7: And then in the NFL, you know, I think he 441 00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:13,960 Speaker 7: just had to find the right situation. I think to 442 00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:15,560 Speaker 7: this day, I think the best thing he ever did 443 00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:18,439 Speaker 7: was go to San Francisco and just sit back and watch, 444 00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:20,359 Speaker 7: you know, and he learned and it brought perty Kyle 445 00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:22,960 Speaker 7: Shanahan John Lynch and I think for the first time 446 00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:25,480 Speaker 7: he wasn't the guy, you know. I think that kind 447 00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:27,960 Speaker 7: of game him a reset, and then from that point forward, 448 00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:30,760 Speaker 7: I think, in my opinion, he learned more about football 449 00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:32,879 Speaker 7: and how to prepare during that one year in San 450 00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:35,720 Speaker 7: Francisco named his entire time with the Jets North Carolina, 451 00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:38,000 Speaker 7: and then he goes on to Minnesota and does great 452 00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:40,760 Speaker 7: things there, and then of course he goes to Seattle 453 00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:41,880 Speaker 7: and brings so much championship. 454 00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:46,040 Speaker 2: When do you see it in high school? How or 455 00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:48,720 Speaker 2: is it different for every young man? You know, when 456 00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:51,400 Speaker 2: you can kind of see, okay, this talent is separating 457 00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:54,639 Speaker 2: this individual from the pack? Was it there from his 458 00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:57,560 Speaker 2: freshman year? For Sam Darnold? Does it take a minute? 459 00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:00,560 Speaker 2: How rare I guess of an athlete? Was he in 460 00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:03,239 Speaker 2: high school? Is what I'm asking you know. 461 00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:05,399 Speaker 7: I have the privilege of knowing the family for a 462 00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:08,919 Speaker 7: lot of years. His mom, Chris was my master teacher 463 00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:11,600 Speaker 7: when I was first got into teaching, and she taught 464 00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:13,000 Speaker 7: me had a teacher the way on and go. In 465 00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:15,280 Speaker 7: two thousand and Sam was about four or five years 466 00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:17,480 Speaker 7: old about that time, and from the time he was 467 00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:20,159 Speaker 7: in our youth camps in football, he was doing soccer camps, 468 00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:22,840 Speaker 7: baseball camps, basketball camps, and at a young age seven 469 00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:24,760 Speaker 7: eight years old, like, yeah, he's not like the others, 470 00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:27,919 Speaker 7: and so kind of coming onto our campus. His oldest sister, Frankie, 471 00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:30,240 Speaker 7: played volleyball here for US at saintmand High School. She 472 00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:32,160 Speaker 7: went to Rhode Island, so the general name was pretty 473 00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:34,560 Speaker 7: well known. And I think even at a young age 474 00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:36,159 Speaker 7: of eight nine years old, he saw this kid is 475 00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:38,040 Speaker 7: a little bit different, you know. And of course once 476 00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:39,199 Speaker 7: you got here of the high school and they had 477 00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:41,320 Speaker 7: a lot of success. As a sophomore, I think, in 478 00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:43,080 Speaker 7: my opinion of the sophomore, he's probably the best obby 479 00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:45,480 Speaker 7: in the school. And that's you know, that's a kid 480 00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:48,399 Speaker 7: who worked hard and accomplished some great things. But I 481 00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:50,200 Speaker 7: think for him and really started a very young age, 482 00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:51,960 Speaker 7: and I was blessed to kind of know the family 483 00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:52,600 Speaker 7: from way back. 484 00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:56,400 Speaker 6: Was his head a hindrance finding a helmet big enough 485 00:22:56,440 --> 00:22:58,800 Speaker 6: for his head, or maybe if he got too far, 486 00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:01,360 Speaker 6: you know, farward when he was running, he fought fall 487 00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:02,960 Speaker 6: because his head was so big. 488 00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:04,240 Speaker 3: How did you guys work around that? 489 00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:08,199 Speaker 7: You know, there's a lot of neck exercise he did 490 00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:10,680 Speaker 7: a lot of next strengthing.

His demeanor, his body language, his confidence 678 00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:25,080 Speaker 9: was a lot different than it was a year ago. 679 00:32:25,120 --> 00:32:27,840 Speaker 9: At this time, it felt like he allowed the way 680 00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:31,680 Speaker 9: to the contract, the expectations and pitching for the Dodgers 681 00:32:32,280 --> 00:32:36,600 Speaker 9: really affect him, and he felt like, you know, basically 682 00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:39,080 Speaker 9: he was deer in headlights a lot of times out there, 683 00:32:39,120 --> 00:32:41,680 Speaker 9: and this year, you know, when he was asked about 684 00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:45,480 Speaker 9: it by the media, by myself, he said, hey, twenty 685 00:32:45,520 --> 00:32:47,719 Speaker 9: twenty fives in the past, I learned that, you know, 686 00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:50,720 Speaker 9: I've got to be better as far as the pitch 687 00:32:50,800 --> 00:32:54,800 Speaker 9: execution and the confidence. I feel like with Edwin Diaz 688 00:32:54,880 --> 00:32:58,080 Speaker 9: now being the closer, there's no questions about that, and 689 00:32:58,160 --> 00:33:01,480 Speaker 9: him having timmy trumpet and all of that attention, it 690 00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:04,960 Speaker 9: allows Tanner Scott to go back to being the Tanner 691 00:33:05,040 --> 00:33:09,200 Speaker 9: Scott from the previous two years then with the Marlins 692 00:33:09,240 --> 00:33:11,600 Speaker 9: and the Padres and just being a guy that the 693 00:33:11,680 --> 00:33:14,640 Speaker 9: Dodgers can deploy in the a seventh or sixth inning, 694 00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:17,360 Speaker 9: and that seems to be the role that he really 695 00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:20,520 Speaker 9: thrives in, more so than being counted on as the 696 00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:22,200 Speaker 9: back to back champion closer. 697 00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:26,720 Speaker 2: I know he did not get one of these because 698 00:33:26,760 --> 00:33:30,200 Speaker 2: he wasn't out there, But Dave, if the Dodgers announced 699 00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:34,680 Speaker 2: they're doing World Series bobbleheads to commemorate all the meaningful 700 00:33:34,720 --> 00:33:38,720 Speaker 2: moments from the World Series, I'm sure you've seen the list, 701 00:33:39,360 --> 00:33:42,240 Speaker 2: but if you haven't of all of them, and if 702 00:33:42,280 --> 00:33:45,960 Speaker 2: you were only able to acquire one of them, the 703 00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:49,920 Speaker 2: Will Smith game winner, the Miggy Rojas game tire, Yoshi 704 00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:54,760 Speaker 2: Nobu Yamamotos celebrating the end, you got Freddy's Game three 705 00:33:54,800 --> 00:33:58,200 Speaker 2: walk off. Which of the bobbleheads would you want to 706 00:33:58,240 --> 00:33:59,160 Speaker 2: have in your collection? 707 00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:03,280 Speaker 9: Yeah, that would be a tie between the Yama Moto 708 00:34:03,560 --> 00:34:07,760 Speaker 9: celebration and the Miguel Rojas home run, because I did 709 00:34:07,800 --> 00:34:11,959 Speaker 9: see the images of all those bobbleheads that they put 710 00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:14,840 Speaker 9: out there, and it feels like the Rojas and the 711 00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:18,240 Speaker 9: Yama Moto are the most lifelike and capture the moment 712 00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:21,640 Speaker 9: the best out of all the bobbleheads that you just 713 00:34:21,719 --> 00:34:22,759 Speaker 9: laid out there. 714 00:34:24,360 --> 00:34:25,360 Speaker 3: One only David. 715 00:34:26,640 --> 00:34:30,040 Speaker 6: Here's our guest, David Vassay. We did not have Sam 716 00:34:30,280 --> 00:34:33,279 Speaker 6: Donald's third cousin on today. We did have his high 717 00:34:33,280 --> 00:34:35,280 Speaker 6: school coach and ed ojeron. 718 00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:39,280 Speaker 9: So m everybody wants a piece now. 719 00:34:40,880 --> 00:34:42,200 Speaker 2: Well you just want to sell it. You know, it's 720 00:34:42,239 --> 00:34:44,760 Speaker 2: the moment. You just kind of celebrating the right right. 721 00:34:45,440 --> 00:34:48,120 Speaker 9: Remember you guys celebrating him in Carolina? 722 00:34:48,320 --> 00:34:50,880 Speaker 2: What was there to celebrate? Well, what were we supposed 723 00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:52,839 Speaker 2: to do celebrating Carroll? 724 00:34:53,160 --> 00:34:55,960 Speaker 9: The Sam Donald Show record. You should have had him 725 00:34:55,960 --> 00:34:57,560 Speaker 9: on when he was just a backup. You could have 726 00:34:57,600 --> 00:35:00,800 Speaker 9: got on that train and rode that Sam Darnold stock 727 00:35:00,840 --> 00:35:02,120 Speaker 9: all the way to the Super Bowl. 728 00:35:03,480 --> 00:35:05,160 Speaker 3: Like you're still waiting for Rich Hill to get on 729 00:35:05,200 --> 00:35:08,640 Speaker 3: another team day retired. 730 00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:12,480 Speaker 6: Speaking of your friends, now our pitchers. Is Blake Snell 731 00:35:12,600 --> 00:35:14,920 Speaker 6: really behind schedule again? What's going on? 732 00:35:15,040 --> 00:35:15,279 Speaker 7: Dave? 733 00:35:15,560 --> 00:35:16,719 Speaker 3: Is this a concern? Dave? 734 00:35:17,719 --> 00:35:19,400 Speaker 9: Yeah, I would say it is a concern. 735 00:35:19,600 --> 00:35:19,839 Speaker 1: Man. 736 00:35:21,239 --> 00:35:24,359 Speaker 9: Look, he hasn't thrown off a bullpen this offseason. From 737 00:35:24,400 --> 00:35:26,920 Speaker 9: what he told me, He's thrown from one hundred and 738 00:35:26,960 --> 00:35:30,279 Speaker 9: twenty feet off a flagground. But he doesn't seem like 739 00:35:30,400 --> 00:35:34,520 Speaker 9: it's a serious issue. It just seems like last off 740 00:35:34,560 --> 00:35:37,359 Speaker 9: season when he signed with the Dodgers, he ramped up 741 00:35:37,360 --> 00:35:41,560 Speaker 9: for spring training way too quickly, and he hurt himself. 742 00:35:41,600 --> 00:35:44,200 Speaker 9: He was trying to treat the first day of spring 743 00:35:44,280 --> 00:35:47,600 Speaker 9: training like opening day, so that worked against him and 744 00:35:47,680 --> 00:35:50,880 Speaker 9: it backfired in a greater way. This year. He was 745 00:35:50,920 --> 00:35:54,280 Speaker 9: still fighting some stuff with the shoulder during the World Series, 746 00:35:54,760 --> 00:35:57,200 Speaker 9: and the Dodgers and Snell have been smart about it 747 00:35:57,280 --> 00:36:00,839 Speaker 9: to play it slow. So when he says that he's 748 00:36:00,880 --> 00:36:03,080 Speaker 9: going to be ready or opening day is the goal, 749 00:36:03,640 --> 00:36:06,399 Speaker 9: I'm sure it is the goal, but it's an unrealistic goal. 750 00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:09,120 Speaker 9: I don't see him being ready for Opening Day. I 751 00:36:09,200 --> 00:36:11,600 Speaker 9: just don't know how he can be ready for opening 752 00:36:11,680 --> 00:36:13,879 Speaker 9: Day with what he's done this offseason. 753 00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:17,279 Speaker 2: Dave, As you're now in your well, you're going to 754 00:36:17,320 --> 00:36:20,239 Speaker 2: have to leave, so maybe it goes on a hiatus here, 755 00:36:20,239 --> 00:36:23,760 Speaker 2: But you have been in your Laker super fandom phase 756 00:36:23,880 --> 00:36:28,719 Speaker 2: post Dodger season concluding. I'm sure you saw the I'm 757 00:36:28,760 --> 00:36:30,680 Speaker 2: just assuming that you read all these things all the time. 758 00:36:31,040 --> 00:36:34,279 Speaker 2: Did you see the comments from Rob Polinka about how 759 00:36:34,320 --> 00:36:38,840 Speaker 2: he intends to integrate himself with the Dodgers way of 760 00:36:38,920 --> 00:36:43,160 Speaker 2: doing business and the compliments he paid to mister Friedman 761 00:36:43,320 --> 00:36:49,319 Speaker 2: to stand cast in to Mark Walter. Your thoughts on 762 00:36:49,440 --> 00:36:53,399 Speaker 2: Polinka surviving this merge and becoming part of the way 763 00:36:53,440 --> 00:36:57,920 Speaker 2: that Walter does business after his patronizing comments. 764 00:36:58,480 --> 00:37:02,000 Speaker 9: I did see his deep white v Neck in that 765 00:37:02,440 --> 00:37:07,320 Speaker 9: interview with a jacket Rob Low type jacket on as well. Look, 766 00:37:07,480 --> 00:37:11,000 Speaker 9: it's somewhat of an indictment on him that he hasn't 767 00:37:11,040 --> 00:37:15,080 Speaker 9: been forward thinking to use, you know, the analytics and 768 00:37:15,160 --> 00:37:19,200 Speaker 9: the technology, and that he needs far anxiety and Andrew 769 00:37:19,239 --> 00:37:21,799 Speaker 9: Freeman to kind of show him how to power up 770 00:37:21,800 --> 00:37:28,080 Speaker 9: a computer. But look, look it's it remains to be seen. 771 00:37:28,239 --> 00:37:31,680 Speaker 9: I'm not going to get into his job status, but 772 00:37:33,719 --> 00:37:37,840 Speaker 9: that was something There are parallels from when Mark Walter 773 00:37:37,960 --> 00:37:42,400 Speaker 9: and Guggenheim bought the Dodgers compared to Mark Walter and 774 00:37:43,120 --> 00:37:46,759 Speaker 9: his group buying the Lakers. When Neck Kaletti was the 775 00:37:46,840 --> 00:37:50,200 Speaker 9: Dodger GM, he didn't have the resources to build an 776 00:37:50,280 --> 00:37:54,000 Speaker 9: infrastructure to support the analytics. He had one guy that 777 00:37:54,120 --> 00:37:58,440 Speaker 9: was an analytic type and that wasn't because he didn't 778 00:37:58,520 --> 00:38:02,280 Speaker 9: want it. It just was the reality that Frank McCourt 779 00:38:02,840 --> 00:38:06,000 Speaker 9: was limited in his resources that he was giving Neck 780 00:38:06,080 --> 00:38:09,400 Speaker 9: Kleetti And I don't know what the situation was with 781 00:38:09,600 --> 00:38:13,000 Speaker 9: the Bus family and the Lakers, but obviously there was 782 00:38:13,040 --> 00:38:16,759 Speaker 9: not an emphasis put on that type of infrastructure as 783 00:38:16,760 --> 00:38:19,000 Speaker 9: well with the Lakers, and that's something that is only 784 00:38:19,040 --> 00:38:21,440 Speaker 9: going to benefit them and make them better. 785 00:38:22,200 --> 00:38:25,719 Speaker 6: I want to only David Masse a hero to everybody, 786 00:38:26,600 --> 00:38:30,240 Speaker 6: very snarky guy, and he's headed back to spring training 787 00:38:30,239 --> 00:38:31,320 Speaker 6: on Friday. 788 00:38:32,600 --> 00:38:32,839 Speaker 3: So. 789 00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:37,520 Speaker 9: I feel like this has been a Snartbree conversation. 790 00:38:38,760 --> 00:38:41,160 Speaker 6: I'm not jealous of all your star friends and all 791 00:38:41,160 --> 00:38:43,000 Speaker 6: your fun that you had in the off season and 792 00:38:43,040 --> 00:38:44,560 Speaker 6: the time of your life that you were able to 793 00:38:44,560 --> 00:38:45,799 Speaker 6: put together, and then. 794 00:38:45,760 --> 00:38:48,000 Speaker 9: You're always faring balance and then very t. 795 00:38:48,280 --> 00:38:52,600 Speaker 6: You begrudge us. Talk to the head coach at San Clemente. 796 00:38:52,400 --> 00:38:54,560 Speaker 3: Dave coach RTIF. 797 00:38:54,719 --> 00:38:58,440 Speaker 6: What about rookie Sasaki. He's in camp right because he's 798 00:38:58,480 --> 00:38:59,960 Speaker 6: not doing the WBC thing. 799 00:39:01,480 --> 00:39:04,840 Speaker 9: Yeah, he actually told us during Dodger Talk at Dodger 800 00:39:04,920 --> 00:39:08,800 Speaker 9: Fest that it was the team's decision not to allow 801 00:39:08,880 --> 00:39:11,680 Speaker 9: him to pitch for Team Japan, and I applaud the 802 00:39:11,719 --> 00:39:15,000 Speaker 9: Dodgers for you know, just letting it be known to him, 803 00:39:15,040 --> 00:39:20,160 Speaker 9: it might benefit you after a rocky first season to 804 00:39:20,280 --> 00:39:22,319 Speaker 9: be in camp with us for the full period of 805 00:39:22,360 --> 00:39:26,680 Speaker 9: time and really devote yourself to trying to become the 806 00:39:26,719 --> 00:39:29,719 Speaker 9: pitcher that you said you wanted to become in Major 807 00:39:29,760 --> 00:39:33,120 Speaker 9: League baseball. And the good news is he has started 808 00:39:33,160 --> 00:39:37,000 Speaker 9: to develop two additional pitches, a two seam fastball, a 809 00:39:37,080 --> 00:39:41,960 Speaker 9: cut fastball to compliment his knuckle split, and his one 810 00:39:42,040 --> 00:39:46,480 Speaker 9: hundred mile an hour plus four seam fastball. So let's 811 00:39:46,520 --> 00:39:49,879 Speaker 9: see how it looks in spring training, because last year 812 00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:53,200 Speaker 9: it was pretty apparent that he was very raw and 813 00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:56,600 Speaker 9: was not a finished product. And the Dodgers have said 814 00:39:56,600 --> 00:39:59,719 Speaker 9: that from day one, this is not about one year 815 00:39:59,880 --> 00:40:03,479 Speaker 9: or for two years. This is a project. And let's 816 00:40:03,520 --> 00:40:05,479 Speaker 9: see where that project is in year two. 817 00:40:06,239 --> 00:40:09,000 Speaker 2: I assume Dave, that's the Dodger saying, hey, Rokie, we're 818 00:40:09,040 --> 00:40:11,279 Speaker 2: gonna take on being the bad guy here. That way 819 00:40:11,360 --> 00:40:14,000 Speaker 2: the people of Japan can get upset at you for 820 00:40:14,080 --> 00:40:16,160 Speaker 2: opting out. We're just gonna kind of right, It's kind 821 00:40:16,200 --> 00:40:18,040 Speaker 2: of like, hey, well we'll take care of this. Let's 822 00:40:18,120 --> 00:40:19,600 Speaker 2: let's make sure we get this square away. 823 00:40:19,680 --> 00:40:20,000 Speaker 3: I don't. 824 00:40:20,160 --> 00:40:22,440 Speaker 9: I don't know if you wanted to or if the 825 00:40:22,480 --> 00:40:25,919 Speaker 9: Dodgers just made it be known to him. I don't 826 00:40:25,960 --> 00:40:28,280 Speaker 9: know that for a fact, Matt, so I can't say 827 00:40:28,680 --> 00:40:31,359 Speaker 9: one way or the other, but I just it's common sense. 828 00:40:31,400 --> 00:40:33,560 Speaker 9: It makes a lot of sense that Roki's going to 829 00:40:33,560 --> 00:40:36,680 Speaker 9: be in camp with the Dodgers, and it makes a 830 00:40:36,680 --> 00:40:39,360 Speaker 9: lot of sense that Otani's only going to hit for 831 00:40:39,480 --> 00:40:41,600 Speaker 9: Team Japan, and it would make a lot of sense 832 00:40:41,640 --> 00:40:45,160 Speaker 9: for Yamamoto to be limited in how much he pitches 833 00:40:45,200 --> 00:40:47,960 Speaker 9: for Team Japan in the World Baseball Classic. 834 00:40:48,280 --> 00:40:50,160 Speaker 3: You can talk to David Vassa. You'll be able to 835 00:40:50,160 --> 00:40:50,440 Speaker 3: get through. 836 00:40:50,480 --> 00:40:54,239 Speaker 6: He's gonna open the phone line tonight, Dodger talking seven 837 00:40:54,320 --> 00:40:57,319 Speaker 6: two Dave.
