00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:48,000
Speaker 7: But I am so fired up that we're carrying the

39
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:51,440
Speaker 7: game on Sunday with Westwood One, all courtesy of our

40
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:53,240
Speaker 7: friends at Twin Peaks Tukwila.

41
00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:56,600
Speaker 4: It's our pal, Kevin, Harlan Kevin, how are you, buddy.

42
00:01:57,320 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 8: I'm good. We're gonna see each other. I don't know

43
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 8: if it's her Saturday or Sunday, but right we're gonna

44
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:03,880
Speaker 8: we're gonna get together. I'm looking forward to that. Can't

45
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:06,880
Speaker 8: wait to get up there and see probably right now

46
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:10,280
Speaker 8: the best team in pro football and with a chance

47
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:11,960
Speaker 8: for them to go back to the big Game, which

48
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:16,239
Speaker 8: would be absolutely wonderful. Was it forty eight? Was that

49
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:20,359
Speaker 8: the last Super Bowl? Forty eight the last Seahawks Super Bowl?

50
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:23,119
Speaker 8: On my off one of those? Well, they won, probably off.

51
00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:25,400
Speaker 7: They won forty eight, forty three to eight, and then

52
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 7: they lost against Tom Brady and the Patriots in a

53
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:30,960
Speaker 7: game that we don't really like to talk about.

54
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:33,280
Speaker 8: We don't want to talk about that, Malcolm Butler, No,

55
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:36,000
Speaker 8: we want to talk about that. Marshawn Lynch, No, boy,

56
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:37,880
Speaker 8: do want to talk about that? Man?

57
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:41,200
Speaker 6: There are sorry, Amory.

58
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:44,640
Speaker 7: Oh Jesus, I'm saying all these great things about you.

59
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:46,000
Speaker 4: You're just stumping them all.

60
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:49,520
Speaker 8: You know. That's bad. That's bad. I agree. That was

61
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:49,960
Speaker 8: not right.

62
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:50,799
Speaker 6: That was not right.

63
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:53,360
Speaker 7: Well, there is there is a little bit of, uh,

64
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:56,560
Speaker 7: you know, chatter up here in Seattle about maybe playing

65
00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:59,080
Speaker 7: the Patriots and getting a little bit of revenge for

66
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:01,120
Speaker 7: that game, you know, twelve years ago.

67
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:03,640
Speaker 4: But we'll hold off on that for a second. So

68
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:05,640
Speaker 4: first of all, let me ask you about what you

69
00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:06,240
Speaker 4: just said.

70
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:09,680
Speaker 7: Maybe the best team in the NFL, right just dismantles

71
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:12,480
Speaker 7: the Niners in the divisional round forty one to six.

72
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:15,960
Speaker 7: They're up twenty four to six at halftime in that game,

73
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:19,040
Speaker 7: the game was over when Rashid Shaheed took the opening

74
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:20,840
Speaker 7: kickoff pack for a touchdown.

75
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:23,040
Speaker 4: How surprised were you?

76
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:26,440
Speaker 7: How surprised do you think the NFL world was to

77
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 7: see the Hawks just take apart the Niners last weekend?

78
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:34,480
Speaker 8: Well, I think that when Kittle went down, it's more

79
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 8: than just losing a game changing tied end. It's losing,

80
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:42,520
Speaker 8: you know, kind of the emotional leader of that team,

81
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 8: especially on the offensive end. They've lost their two big

82
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 8: pillars on defense. I don't know how they made it

83
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 8: that far. Quite frankly. I think that when you play

84
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 8: a division follow and we're gonna see it again up

85
00:03:56,560 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 8: there this weekend, you know so much about them that

86
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:04,920
Speaker 8: once you find that little advantage, man, you can crawl

87
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 8: right through that baby and just cash in. And that's

88
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:11,120
Speaker 8: that's exactly what they did against the Niners. I don't

89
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 8: think that's the same scenario with the Rams, quite frankly,

90
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:17,279
Speaker 8: And I think the Niners were coming in probably stunned

91
00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:20,800
Speaker 8: that they beat Philadelphia. I had to go across country

92
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:23,640
Speaker 8: and then back up there to see you guys, and

93
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:27,440
Speaker 8: it just I think the attrition of all the injuries

94
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:31,479
Speaker 8: and fighting week in and week out, and mccafferre wasn't

95
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:33,800
Speaker 8: a hundred percent. We saw, yeah, he was trying to

96
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:37,400
Speaker 8: regain some form in that game. It just wasn't meant

97
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:41,040
Speaker 8: to be hawked for Rusted. They were focused and that

98
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:43,919
Speaker 8: they've got so much in front of them. It's a

99
00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:47,080
Speaker 8: shame about charbonn A. But aside from that, they come

100
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:50,479
Speaker 8: in I think with a very healthy mindset and I

101
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 8: think they're going to give the Rams all they can handle.

102
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:54,840
Speaker 8: They certainly gave that to the Niners last weekend.

103
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:58,000
Speaker 7: Well, now you got a football team in La right

104
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:00,719
Speaker 7: that's coming in here having to come back from the

105
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 7: East Coast overtime game, hard fought game against the Bears

106
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:07,279
Speaker 7: on on Sunday. You know, the Hawks had the the

107
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:10,719
Speaker 7: extra day, obviously the Rams went to overtime. How much

108
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:13,719
Speaker 7: do you think that that extra work and the travel

109
00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:16,520
Speaker 7: that the Rams had to put in last weekend, how

110
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:18,920
Speaker 7: much does that really mean you think this Sunday?

111
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:22,440
Speaker 8: Well, you know, it was unfortunate that they played the

112
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:26,040
Speaker 8: last game Sunday night, that it won another quarter. Basically

113
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:29,880
Speaker 8: over time that that cold and I was there, it

114
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:33,600
Speaker 8: just zap's you. And not that they aren't built to

115
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:37,720
Speaker 8: withstand that, because clearly they have. They have gone through

116
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:40,400
Speaker 8: their own injuries this season, gotten a couple of guys back,

117
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:43,000
Speaker 8: you know, getting Lake back in the secondary has been

118
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:46,640
Speaker 8: I think very important for the Rams. I just I

119
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:50,440
Speaker 8: just think they are probably going to be, you know,

120
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:54,559
Speaker 8: everything we think. You know, it's it's the travels there,

121
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:57,720
Speaker 8: we get that. But it will be Sunday night to

122
00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:02,440
Speaker 8: Sunday night, so it's not like they're losing a full day.

123
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:05,839
Speaker 8: They're they're basically just just you know, just trying to

124
00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:08,960
Speaker 8: get the mindset out. It's gonna be. It's gonna feel warmer.

125
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:11,880
Speaker 8: I think it's about forty five degrees Sunday for kickoff

126
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:14,640
Speaker 8: variable wins, which means not much less than you know,

127
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:19,159
Speaker 8: single digit wins. Uh, partly cloudy skies. It's gonna feel

128
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:23,279
Speaker 8: like Captiva Florida compared to what Chicago was. Just like

129
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:26,120
Speaker 8: the moon. It was as cold as being on the

130
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:29,520
Speaker 8: moon last week in Chicago. But let me just tell

131
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:33,560
Speaker 8: you something, those games, those outdoor games with snow and

132
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:37,400
Speaker 8: wind and everybody final to me, man that's football, and

133
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:40,479
Speaker 8: I hate to see these dome stadiums and and I

134
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:43,680
Speaker 8: just think it just added to the whole, you.

135
00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:46,360
Speaker 6: Know, narrative of the Rams being.

136
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:48,760
Speaker 8: You know, just a rugged team. They go all the

137
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:52,080
Speaker 8: way to Carolina, they win, they're late, they rally to

138
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:55,880
Speaker 8: win that game. They come back to win in Chicago

139
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:58,240
Speaker 8: with with you know, a team that came back to

140
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:00,799
Speaker 8: tie them late in the game, four or so overtime,

141
00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:04,120
Speaker 8: and then they found a way to win. This is

142
00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:06,159
Speaker 8: as good a team as there is in the league,

143
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:09,520
Speaker 8: with the exception of the Seahawks. The two best teams

144
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:12,840
Speaker 8: in Pro football are playing Sunday night in Seattle. Well, yeah,

145
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:14,440
Speaker 8: there is no doubt in my mind with that.

146
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:17,600
Speaker 7: Yeah, Kevin, you mentioned being there for the Rams Bears game,

147
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:20,560
Speaker 7: and the last two Rams games they struggled to put

148
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:24,840
Speaker 7: away Carolina, struggled to put away Chicago. They lost a

149
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:28,160
Speaker 7: couple in a row in December to Seattle and Atlanta.

150
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:30,680
Speaker 7: And there's some folks that are saying that this is

151
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:33,600
Speaker 7: not the same Rams team that we saw earlier in

152
00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:36,120
Speaker 7: the year, and it doesn't sound like you're really buying that.

153
00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:37,920
Speaker 6: Well I'm not.

154
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:40,400
Speaker 8: I just I just think that the way they played

155
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:43,960
Speaker 8: against the Bears in Chicago. Is a tough team. They

156
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:46,720
Speaker 8: may be the third best team in the NFL. That

157
00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:51,520
Speaker 8: was a very difficult victory, hard Funt. The only question

158
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:53,640
Speaker 8: I've got is what do they have left in the

159
00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:56,280
Speaker 8: tank after going on the road twice or if they

160
00:07:56,360 --> 00:08:01,000
Speaker 8: build up such resiliency and they're now to any of

161
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:05,560
Speaker 8: the emotional factors or location factors that may play into

162
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:08,520
Speaker 8: the postseason, are they immune from that? Have they been

163
00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:12,280
Speaker 8: immunized from all of those things about playing on the

164
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:15,560
Speaker 8: road just to take on you know, and what is

165
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:19,720
Speaker 8: a season defining game. They know that team very well.

166
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:23,520
Speaker 8: They were just up there, so that takes a little Now,

167
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:26,040
Speaker 8: it doesn't take the preparation out, but it takes that,

168
00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:28,760
Speaker 8: you know, that kind of like what do we face them?

169
00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:30,960
Speaker 8: Like when they played the Bears and when they played Carolina.

170
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:34,480
Speaker 8: They played Carolina actually in the regular season, But when

171
00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:37,280
Speaker 8: you're play an unfamiliar foe, it just puts more on

172
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:39,040
Speaker 8: your plate, right, I mean, you got more stuff you

173
00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:42,640
Speaker 8: got to deal with in terms of preparation. Just but

174
00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:46,320
Speaker 8: with the Seahawks, they know exactly what they are, and

175
00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:49,320
Speaker 8: the Seahawks know exactly what the Rams are and that

176
00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:53,079
Speaker 8: to me, just spells an incredible final in the NFC.

177
00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:55,520
Speaker 7: Yeah, well, we're fired up that you're coming up here

178
00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:57,520
Speaker 7: with Kurt. Kurt Warner is going to be on with

179
00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:00,360
Speaker 7: Mike Congrin tomorrow, by the way, at four to so

180
00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:04,360
Speaker 7: we got both both halves of the broadcast crew and

181
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:06,679
Speaker 7: A Russ Tuckers I think's doing sideline for you guys

182
00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:09,920
Speaker 7: on Sunday and A Danie'll hear that on KJR on

183
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:12,520
Speaker 7: Sunday afternoon. But I want to go back though to

184
00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:15,160
Speaker 7: the last time you were at this stadium for an

185
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:20,480
Speaker 7: NFC Championship game January eighteenth, two thousand and fifteen.

186
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:23,800
Speaker 2: Tied in over time at twenty two shotguns. Nap winds

187
00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:26,160
Speaker 2: up one launching spiral down the middle, hits.

188
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:28,000
Speaker 5: It over the shoulder, touch of the goal line, hit

189
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:31,160
Speaker 5: the touchdown, hit the touchdown, hits grab.

190
00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:31,800
Speaker 6: I curse.

191
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:36,880
Speaker 4: Seattle is won. The Seawks have one A thirty five.

192
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:43,040
Speaker 2: Yard touchdown pass Wilson Touck curse mL Seahawks are going

193
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:43,880
Speaker 2: back to.

194
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:44,800
Speaker 4: The Super Bowl.

195
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:50,800
Speaker 7: Jermaine Jermaine curse game winner twenty eight to twenty two

196
00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:54,840
Speaker 7: against Tremond Williams thirty five yard touchdown Seahawks are down

197
00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:57,280
Speaker 7: nineteen seven three minutes to go in the fourth quarter,

198
00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:01,760
Speaker 7: and the improbable comeback against the Green Bay Packers. You saw,

199
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:04,880
Speaker 7: you saw that day what the twelfth man can be

200
00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:07,120
Speaker 7: all about. And there was some talk you and I

201
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:10,439
Speaker 7: were talking, remember earlier in the year, about the home

202
00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:12,600
Speaker 7: field advantage and is it gone now?

203
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:12,920
Speaker 4: Is it?

204
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:15,560
Speaker 7: Is it now gone in Seattle? And it feels like

205
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:17,679
Speaker 7: it's back. And I wonder if the NFL is the

206
00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:20,120
Speaker 7: people around the league and you believe that this is

207
00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:22,520
Speaker 7: now the ultimate home field advantage once again.

208
00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:25,439
Speaker 8: Well, it's as good as there is. It's as good

209
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:28,920
Speaker 8: as Zerohead, it's as good as Buffalo, it's as good

210
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:32,720
Speaker 8: as Pittsburgh. And I hold those places as the loudest

211
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:37,960
Speaker 8: buildings in the NFL. So it's absolutely as loud. And

212
00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:40,440
Speaker 8: there's nothing to think that they're not going to be

213
00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:45,000
Speaker 8: even louder or more passionate if they If there's such

214
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:48,880
Speaker 8: a thing with that fan base on trying to cheer

215
00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:52,679
Speaker 8: on this team, I mean, it's it's pretty remarkable how

216
00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:57,880
Speaker 8: much they take pride in filling those seats and doing

217
00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:01,640
Speaker 8: what they do to support that team, and that that

218
00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:03,880
Speaker 8: place will be rocking. I mean, I can't think of

219
00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:08,640
Speaker 8: a louder louder venue. Quite frankly arrowhead because they had

220
00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:11,800
Speaker 8: been so many times to the Super Bowl. Had had

221
00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:16,839
Speaker 8: expected so you know, it had nine consecutive AFC Championship

222
00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:21,000
Speaker 8: games that they had played. You know, here here was

223
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:23,760
Speaker 8: a team that had a lot of home playoff games.

224
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:27,520
Speaker 8: And it wasn't like they were exhaling a bit. But

225
00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:31,320
Speaker 8: you know when you've not been there for a long time,

226
00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:34,280
Speaker 8: and that is the case with the Seahawks. Now. To

227
00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:37,200
Speaker 8: be in this position to make that jump and go

228
00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:41,160
Speaker 8: to the big game, yeah, I just expected to be deaf,

229
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:44,440
Speaker 8: and I think it'll be very difficult. And I think

230
00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:48,440
Speaker 8: there is no better quarterback better prepared to handle that

231
00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:51,800
Speaker 8: than Stafford and McVeigh and and they'll be ready to go.

232
00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:55,640
Speaker 8: They've got a veteran a group of receivers. The quarterback

233
00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:58,640
Speaker 8: will be able to handle anything that you put at them.

234
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:03,000
Speaker 8: And and that again levels that playing field. Yeah, it's

235
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:05,240
Speaker 8: gonna be a game of turnovers. It's gonna be a

236
00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:09,480
Speaker 8: game of opportunistic offensive play. It's gonna have to be

237
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:13,000
Speaker 8: pressure on the quarterbacks to disrupt their rhythm. I mean,

238
00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:15,480
Speaker 8: all the things we talk about will be a play

239
00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:16,240
Speaker 8: on Sunday night.

240
00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:19,559
Speaker 7: Well, I wonder how much pressure is on Stafford versus

241
00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:22,800
Speaker 7: Sam Donald, Kevin. I mean, Stafford's been here before, He's

242
00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:25,880
Speaker 7: won a title. This is what Sam Donald's third playoffs

243
00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:28,080
Speaker 7: start in his career. This is the biggest game Sam

244
00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:31,520
Speaker 7: Donald's ever played in college, high school, pro whatever.

245
00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:31,840
Speaker 4: I mean.

246
00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:34,679
Speaker 7: I talk about the Rose Bowl against Penn stay back

247
00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:36,439
Speaker 7: in the day, but come on, this is the NFL.

248
00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:37,600
Speaker 4: So I don't know.

249
00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:40,319
Speaker 7: Talk to me about the pressure that these guys feel.

250
00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:43,320
Speaker 7: And a lot of people Kevin are waiting for Sam Donald,

251
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:45,160
Speaker 7: as you know, to fall flat on his face.

252
00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:49,080
Speaker 6: They are, and that is that is a narrative. There's

253
00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:49,640
Speaker 6: no doubt.

254
00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:54,079
Speaker 8: I do think the pressure probably is more on Donald.

255
00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:59,280
Speaker 8: I don't think it shows. I think early success really

256
00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:03,679
Speaker 8: affects how he traverses the rest of the game. And

257
00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:06,560
Speaker 8: they're going to come out and Clint's gonna put together

258
00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:10,040
Speaker 8: a terrific game plan, I have no doubt, and it

259
00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:12,559
Speaker 8: will be with that in mind, getting this guy off

260
00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:17,440
Speaker 8: to a comfortable, confident start will be paramount and I'm

261
00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:20,160
Speaker 8: just certain they're going to do it. He has got,

262
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:24,760
Speaker 8: you know, clutch receivers, He's got an emerging tight end,

263
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:28,880
Speaker 8: he's got number nine. Even with twenty six gone. Yeah,

264
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:32,720
Speaker 8: you know, there is still so much that.

265
00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:35,720
Speaker 6: He has around them around him.

266
00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:39,320
Speaker 8: That he can rely on that that I would like

267
00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:43,040
Speaker 8: to think the collective will give him his best effort.

268
00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:46,280
Speaker 8: And I know it's a narrative if I've called so

269
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:49,240
Speaker 8: many of his games the last couple of years, and

270
00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:52,160
Speaker 8: I guess I just kind of feel like like he's

271
00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:58,280
Speaker 8: grown exponentially with every hurdle that he has faced. He

272
00:13:58,360 --> 00:13:59,719
Speaker 8: had the trough a bit in the middle of the

273
00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:02,040
Speaker 8: season and came out of it finish strong, and then

274
00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:06,280
Speaker 8: showed his most brilliant colors in the win against the Niners.

275
00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:09,560
Speaker 8: So that really on my list of things to watch,

276
00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:14,120
Speaker 8: probably isn't significant as opposed to just what the teams

277
00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:17,600
Speaker 8: are doing. I will tell you I think the Rams

278
00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:22,000
Speaker 8: will come out incredibly confident. I think the Rams will

279
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:24,240
Speaker 8: come out not with that like what do we have

280
00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:27,040
Speaker 8: to lose? I don't think it'll be that kind of confident. Yeah,

281
00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:30,720
Speaker 8: it'll be like we got to Carolina, came back and

282
00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:33,320
Speaker 8: beat them on the road in the playoffs. We went

283
00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:38,760
Speaker 8: to Chicago, battled a very difficult environment in terms of

284
00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:42,440
Speaker 8: weather and the team we were facing at home and

285
00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:45,880
Speaker 8: with a ton of momentum and still came out of

286
00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:48,280
Speaker 8: that and it may have gone to overtime, but you

287
00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:51,000
Speaker 8: found a way. And I think that's that has added

288
00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:54,320
Speaker 8: to the confidence well of the Rams. I think they

289
00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:57,000
Speaker 8: come in and they've been there. A lot of the

290
00:14:57,040 --> 00:14:58,760
Speaker 8: guys on this team were in the Super Bowl a

291
00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:01,800
Speaker 8: couple of years ago. They won't blink. They will not blink,

292
00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:05,080
Speaker 8: and that again leads me to think that this game

293
00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:05,960
Speaker 8: could be just h.

294
00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:09,040
Speaker 7: Well, I can't wait for Sunday, Man and far be it,

295
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:10,760
Speaker 7: Kevin for me to tell you what the hell to

296
00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:12,680
Speaker 7: talk about on your broadcast on Sunday.

297
00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:17,400
Speaker 8: Oh you're gonna yeah. I'm assuming something's coming up here

298
00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:18,240
Speaker 8: that you want me to say.

299
00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:21,560
Speaker 7: Well, I would love to hear as I as I

300
00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:23,520
Speaker 7: get in the car and hear the pregame on Sunday,

301
00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:25,400
Speaker 7: I'd love to hear you and Kurt. You want to

302
00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:29,760
Speaker 7: get Ross involved, that's your prerogative, but whatever, I'd love

303
00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:33,160
Speaker 7: to hear you guys talk about this coaching matchup between

304
00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:36,240
Speaker 7: McDonald and McVeigh, because I don't know if there's a

305
00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:41,160
Speaker 7: better offensive versus defensive mind battle going in the NFL

306
00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:44,360
Speaker 7: right now besides the battle between these two young guys.

307
00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:47,520
Speaker 7: One guy's gonna turn forty on Saturday, the other guy

308
00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:49,960
Speaker 7: will turn thirty nine in June. One guy's in his

309
00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:53,240
Speaker 7: sixteenth playoff game, other guys in his second playoff game.

310
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:55,840
Speaker 7: And I could argue that McVeigh is the best offensive

311
00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:58,600
Speaker 7: mine in football, and I can definitely argue that McDonald's

312
00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:01,760
Speaker 7: the best defensive mind in football. How about how about

313
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:04,760
Speaker 7: this coaching matchup between these two head coaches.

314
00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:10,760
Speaker 8: There is not another coach in pro football who resembles

315
00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:15,000
Speaker 8: in every way what McVeigh is an offense than what

316
00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:19,760
Speaker 8: McDonald means defensively. And then just above that, bolting above

317
00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:24,120
Speaker 8: that line. As a head coach and leaders, they are

318
00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:29,600
Speaker 8: they are. They are two of two. They're young, they're energetic, clearly,

319
00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:35,840
Speaker 8: they're incredibly communicative. They have got a feel for the

320
00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:39,200
Speaker 8: pulse of their teams. They know just what they need

321
00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:43,160
Speaker 8: when they need it. And if anyone is looking for

322
00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:47,520
Speaker 8: the mere image of McVeigh, it would be McDonald. I

323
00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:51,880
Speaker 8: think they've got the same kind of gusto, the same

324
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:55,920
Speaker 8: kind of deep reservoir of knowledge. Yeah, I think I

325
00:16:55,920 --> 00:17:00,200
Speaker 8: think everything about those two is in locksteps. So the

326
00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:02,320
Speaker 8: only difference is McVeigh has been at it a little

327
00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:04,520
Speaker 8: bit longer, and I don't know at this stage if

328
00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:07,159
Speaker 8: that what that really means. I think you take a

329
00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:10,000
Speaker 8: team this far, you win a division as difficult as

330
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:13,640
Speaker 8: the West, you have that number one seed. I think,

331
00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:17,560
Speaker 8: you know, Mike has proven everything that he needs to prove,

332
00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:21,960
Speaker 8: and regardless of what happens Sunday, it will not change

333
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:25,800
Speaker 8: anybody's opinion of what a great, wonderful young coach the

334
00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:27,280
Speaker 8: John Schneider has chosen.

335
00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:30,360
Speaker 7: Well, Kevin, before you go, we've spent the majority of

336
00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:32,920
Speaker 7: our visit talking about the Hawks game on Sunday, which

337
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:34,880
Speaker 7: is appropriate because we're in Seattle.

338
00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:37,080
Speaker 4: When you're calling the game on Sunday, But I don't know.

339
00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:40,439
Speaker 7: You close your eyes, do you see a possibility Jared

340
00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:43,679
Speaker 7: Steadham filling in for Bonnicks if the Broncos win that

341
00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:47,960
Speaker 7: game Sunday at home against the Patriots. Can you close

342
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:52,200
Speaker 7: your eyes and in reality see that happening without Bonnicks.

343
00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:57,680
Speaker 8: Having a hard time doing it? Dave, quite frankly, emotionally,

344
00:17:57,760 --> 00:18:00,840
Speaker 8: it was a blow to that team to head. He

345
00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:04,240
Speaker 8: is such a unifier, such a leader, even in his

346
00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:09,159
Speaker 8: second year. I can't think it would be comparable to

347
00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:15,440
Speaker 8: you losing Darnold the Rams, you know, losing Stafford. These

348
00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:18,280
Speaker 8: guys are one of ones like like, they're not they're

349
00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:23,480
Speaker 8: not They're not replaceable. And now I'll say that with

350
00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:28,800
Speaker 8: the caveat that you've got as smart a offensive mind

351
00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:33,119
Speaker 8: and head coach in the league in Sean Payton, and

352
00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:39,200
Speaker 8: I think that he will definitely divid a different looking

353
00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:43,800
Speaker 8: kind of offense. I think there'll be some surprises to it.

354
00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:48,760
Speaker 8: I think it's gonna it's gonna be lowering the downside

355
00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:51,879
Speaker 8: to the point where it's almost you know, uh Sea level,

356
00:18:52,359 --> 00:18:55,800
Speaker 8: and and and just trying to keep things as even keel.

357
00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:59,440
Speaker 8: The turnover thing is a big deal because Nicks doesn't

358
00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:02,920
Speaker 8: throw them, and and taking the sacks is the other

359
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:05,639
Speaker 8: thing that that Nicks was so good at. And he

360
00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:09,040
Speaker 8: didn't get the team behind the change much by taking

361
00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:13,560
Speaker 8: sack after sack, demoralizing and offense making it stagnant. So

362
00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:16,040
Speaker 8: I don't know what he's gonna do, but it's gonna

363
00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:18,320
Speaker 8: be fun to watch and see what he's devised. Yeah,

364
00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:21,639
Speaker 8: but the way that defense of New England plays and

365
00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:26,639
Speaker 8: the way that quarterback is playing, it just just on

366
00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:31,080
Speaker 8: the outside looking in. It seems hard for me to

367
00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:35,920
Speaker 8: really realize an outcome where the Patriots don't somehow find

368
00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:38,320
Speaker 8: a way against the back of quarterback was making I

369
00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:40,159
Speaker 8: think his fifth career start.

370
00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:42,639
Speaker 7: All right thirty seconds before you go, Kevin, Did the

371
00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:43,760
Speaker 7: Bills make the right call?

372
00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:45,840
Speaker 4: Whack and Sean McDermott.

373
00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:46,639
Speaker 6: I don't know.

374
00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:50,760
Speaker 8: I wasn't certain until I heard the owners speak today,

375
00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:54,080
Speaker 8: And what I heard the owner say just was really

376
00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:57,399
Speaker 8: just was just bad. You know. First of all, the

377
00:19:57,480 --> 00:20:03,560
Speaker 8: organization misspelled words in the release about what McDermott had meant.

378
00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:05,960
Speaker 8: And then I heard the owner I think it was today,

379
00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:08,600
Speaker 8: it was it last night, whenever it was, and give

380
00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:11,360
Speaker 8: him some of his reasons, and I'm thinking.

381
00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:13,240
Speaker 6: Whoa, whoa, whoa hold on.

382
00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:16,159
Speaker 8: Their text, like like what like what do you like?

383
00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:16,480
Speaker 9: It?

384
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:21,200
Speaker 8: Just that didn't that didn't really materialize in my mind.

385
00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:24,359
Speaker 8: So anyway, Yeah, I guess I kind of felt like,

386
00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:27,439
Speaker 8: like now, I really don't know. Listen, you know, I

387
00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:30,000
Speaker 8: think they should hire as Belichick. I gotta be honest,

388
00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:33,440
Speaker 8: I think I do, I do I do. I think

389
00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:37,600
Speaker 8: I think Belichick is Belichick has struggled so much about

390
00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:42,480
Speaker 8: a quarterback when Brady left. He's got a quarterback in Buffalo.

391
00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:45,800
Speaker 8: He's ready to go. That That's why I would I'd

392
00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:48,000
Speaker 8: give him a three year deal. I'd pay him, I'd

393
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:50,879
Speaker 8: pay him twenty a year. I'd say the team is ready,

394
00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:54,320
Speaker 8: let's go. And I think I'd like to think he'd

395
00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:56,399
Speaker 8: take it. He could break the shoe a record, he

396
00:20:56,440 --> 00:20:58,600
Speaker 8: could do all the things he wants to do and

397
00:20:58,640 --> 00:20:59,720
Speaker 8: finish up in the NFL.

398
00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:02,439
Speaker 4: Dude, I mean, I think he would take it.

399
00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:04,080
Speaker 7: I'm not sure if the Bills would hire him, but

400
00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:07,119
Speaker 7: he would take it for certain. All Right, dude, great stuff,

401
00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:09,639
Speaker 7: Travel safe. I know you got a bunch of stuff

402

00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:14,119
Speaker 7: and catch up over the weekend. But we'll see you

404

407
00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:24,879
Speaker 8: No other place I'd rather be than in Matt Stadium

00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:27,840
Speaker 8: on Matt Sunday watching what I think is gonna be

409
00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:28,600

Speaker 4: Let's go.

411
00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:32,800

419
00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:55,000
Speaker 1: Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM.

420
00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:56,520
Speaker 10: To be honest, once I came out and warm ups

421
00:21:56,520 --> 00:21:58,159
Speaker 10: and felt good throwing the ball, you know, I was

422
00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:01,399
Speaker 10: confident about going out there and letting it rip. You know,

423
00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:03,399
Speaker 10: whatever happens throughout the game, whether I take a hit

424
00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:07,080
Speaker 10: or not, like whatever happens happens. You know, if I

425
00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:10,120
Speaker 10: some tragic happens and I, you know, go down and

426
00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:12,280
Speaker 10: you know can't get up or then it is what

427
00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:15,800
Speaker 10: it is. And you know Drew Jalen, you know they're

428
00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:18,280
Speaker 10: ready to go. But obviously hopefully that doesn't happen.

429
00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:21,760
Speaker 7: I think Sam Darnol would have to split his oblique

430
00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:24,240
Speaker 7: wide open for him to not play and finish this

431
00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:27,440
Speaker 7: game on on Sunday. He's a tough son of a gun,

432
00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:30,240
Speaker 7: and he'll be ready to go now, we'll limit him.

433
00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:32,240
Speaker 7: We'll find out, but I'm not worried about the guy

434
00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:34,600
Speaker 7: not playing in neither of you. By the way, so hey,

Speaker 7: talk to him next segment before the Islanders Cracking Huskies

451
00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:23,360
Speaker 7: are playing. By the way, six pm over on nine

452
00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:29,160
Speaker 7: to fifty am tonight from Nebraska, number seven Nebraska, undefeated Nebraska.

453
00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:32,120
Speaker 7: I remember when this kind of gauntlet started. I looked

454
00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:36,960
Speaker 7: at Indiana, Purdue, Michigan, Michigan State, Nebraska, Ohio State, and said, hey,

455
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:40,040
Speaker 7: would you take two and four? And most people said no, Well,

456
00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:42,240
Speaker 7: if they don't win tonight, you would have taken two,

457
00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:42,840
Speaker 7: and soon.

458
00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:46,520
Speaker 4: You'll be one in five. I said absolutely, I think

459
00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:47,320
Speaker 4: two and four.

460
00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:51,160
Speaker 11: And I think you know, Nebraska is eighteen and zero,

461
00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:54,040
Speaker 11: but they have not faced the Big ten gauntlet yet.

462
00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:57,640
Speaker 11: In fact, they've only faced two ranked teams all season long,

463
00:23:57,720 --> 00:24:00,240
Speaker 11: so they're going to lose at some point, and they

464
00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:03,680
Speaker 11: just played Oregon and Northwestern, who aren't close to Washington.

465
00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:07,040
Speaker 11: I love the Dogs at the point. I think the

466
00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:08,080
Speaker 11: Dogs make it a game.

467
00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:10,320
Speaker 7: I like your call the eleven by the way tonight,

468
00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:12,240
Speaker 7: So jump on that, jump on the Dick train, and

469
00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:13,600
Speaker 7: take the Dogs plus the eleven.

470
00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:15,399
Speaker 4: So Kevin Harlan was just with us.

471
00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:17,840
Speaker 7: He says he thinks the Bears might be the third

472
00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:20,880
Speaker 7: best team in the NFL, behind the Rams and the Seahawks.

473
00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:22,640
Speaker 7: And I mean the Bills would have something to say

474
00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:25,240
Speaker 7: about that. The Broncos with Boat Knicks would have something

475
00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:27,280
Speaker 7: to say about that, the Patriots would have something to

476
00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:30,520
Speaker 7: say about that. I just wonder, man, because I think

477
00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:33,440
Speaker 7: Kevin was very complimentary. He was at the game, called

478
00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:36,000
Speaker 7: the game for radio last weekend in Chicago. He knows

479
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:38,040
Speaker 7: how cold it was out there for a team like

480
00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:41,320
Speaker 7: the Rams that's generally known as the Southern California fun

481
00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:44,000
Speaker 7: in the sun beach bums, toss the ball around the

482
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:47,679
Speaker 7: field team, he was really impressed and very complimentary of

483
00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:48,440
Speaker 7: that win by them.

484
00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:50,080
Speaker 4: Man, it was a big win.

485
00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:53,680
Speaker 11: I very interested to see how much it took out

486
00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:56,040
Speaker 11: of them. I mean, that has got you play overtime

487
00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:59,919
Speaker 11: in ten degree weather and they had a tough time tackling.

488
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:03,960
Speaker 11: The Bears broke twenty one Rams tackles in that game.

489
00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:05,400
Speaker 4: Now, yeah, you could say.

490
00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:07,200
Speaker 7: The Rams break tackles too, by the way, because I

491
00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:08,399
Speaker 7: would think when it's that cold.

492
00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:10,800
Speaker 11: Yeah, I don't know how many Rams broke, but I

493
00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:13,399
Speaker 11: know that the Bears broke twenty one Ram tackles. And

494
00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:17,000
Speaker 11: is that just because it was ten degrees or are

495
00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:19,040
Speaker 11: the Rams starting to get fatigued and they're not tackling

496
00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:20,880
Speaker 11: as well as they did six weeks ago?

497
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:21,280
Speaker 4: Maybe?

498
00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:23,320
Speaker 7: I mean I'd love to know what they did in

499
00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:25,879
Speaker 7: the Carolina game the week before, But I just know this,

500
00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:27,639
Speaker 7: and I'm not gonna sit here and try to compare

501
00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:29,560
Speaker 7: my high school football days to the NFL.

502
00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:32,400
Speaker 4: That's ridiculous. Where it's cold like.

503
00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:35,160
Speaker 7: That, everything freaking hurts, Dude, when you're playing football clearing

504
00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:37,600
Speaker 7: Matt Stafford's finger exactly, everything hurts.

505
00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:39,320
Speaker 4: And it's funny that nobody's talking about that.

506
00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:41,880
Speaker 7: All we're doing is talking about Darnold's oblique, but nobody's

507
00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:43,520
Speaker 7: talking about Matt Stafford's finger.

508
00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:45,600
Speaker 4: Man, Is that a problem? Is not a problem?

509
00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:47,639
Speaker 7: And I don't know, man, Man, I just I just

510
00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:50,480
Speaker 7: love what DeMarcus Lawrence did to Brock Purty in the

511
00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:53,160
Speaker 7: first play of that game, where he almost busted brock

512
00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:56,240
Speaker 7: Perty's hand on the first play of that game against

513
00:25:56,280 --> 00:25:58,919
Speaker 7: the Niners. And I think this defensive line, there's been

514
00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:00,880
Speaker 7: a lot of talk about compare it to the thirteen

515
00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:04,399
Speaker 7: defensive line. I've always said thirteen's better because of their depth.

516
00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:07,440
Speaker 7: I might be willing to listen to an argument that

517
00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:11,399
Speaker 7: the starters are better than what we had in twenty thirteen.

518
00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:15,080
Speaker 11: Up up front on the defensive line front, I could

519
00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:18,080
Speaker 11: absolutely buy that because the strength of that defense was

520
00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:20,359
Speaker 11: the secondary. There's no question about the strength of this

521
00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:23,520
Speaker 11: defense is the front, and so I could absolutely buy

522
00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:24,560
Speaker 11: that this front fours better.

523
00:26:24,600 --> 00:26:26,480
Speaker 7: Well, let's do this. We're going to break. We'll get

524
00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:28,440
Speaker 7: Lane Lambert's thoughts on the game. You know they moved

525
00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:30,160
Speaker 7: up the game on Sunday so that we can watch

Speaker 7: the Seahawk games. So I know they're going to watch

527
00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:32,560

Speaker 4: Coach, how are you.

555
00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:54,560
Speaker 9: I'm all right, I am all right. Fun is not

556
00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:56,960
Speaker 9: my middle name at the moment, that's for sure.

557
00:27:57,280 --> 00:27:59,320
Speaker 4: I get it. I get it. And let's talk about

558
00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:00,480
Speaker 4: why it's fun.

559
00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:02,919
Speaker 7: Let's talk about maybe why your middle name could be like,

560
00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:06,480
Speaker 7: I don't know, frustrated, maybe one four and two in

561
00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:10,879
Speaker 7: the last seven games overall, what's going on the last

562
00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:13,040
Speaker 7: maybe week and a half, couple weeks, coach.

563
00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:18,440
Speaker 9: Too many goals against and we you know, last time

564
00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:21,480
Speaker 9: we talked, I think it was before the New Jersey game.

565
00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:24,919
Speaker 9: You know, we lost it overtime in that game, and

566
00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:28,840
Speaker 9: then we we've given up three three games here since

567
00:28:29,119 --> 00:28:32,159
Speaker 9: since then, and too many goals against. We've given up

568
00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:36,199
Speaker 9: three shorthanded goals which have really hurt us, you know,

569
00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:41,080
Speaker 9: three empty netters. But overall, just five on five, we

570
00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:43,320
Speaker 9: we haven't been as solid as we need to be

571
00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:47,920
Speaker 9: in you know, there's reasons for it. We have to

572
00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:51,240
Speaker 9: fix it, and that's just the bottom line.

573
00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:54,120
Speaker 11: What about the streaking nature of the team, because I

574
00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:56,160
Speaker 11: think in the first three four weeks, you guys are

575
00:28:56,200 --> 00:28:58,240
Speaker 11: pretty much win to lose, to win to lose, to

576
00:28:58,320 --> 00:29:00,520
Speaker 11: your pretty balance. But ever since then and it's been

577
00:29:00,680 --> 00:29:03,920
Speaker 11: long winning streaks and then long losing streaks. Is there

578
00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:06,280
Speaker 11: anything in the nature of your team that might point

579
00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:09,640
Speaker 11: to why, you know what.

580
00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:13,880
Speaker 9: It's I think, honestly, guys, if you look at the league,

581
00:29:15,120 --> 00:29:17,560
Speaker 9: it's a it's a bit of a streaky league. Teams

582
00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:20,280
Speaker 9: go into these little lulls, teams get out of the walls.

583
00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:22,920
Speaker 9: You look at Anaheim just losing like seven games in

584
00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:27,360
Speaker 9: a row, and you know, you have situations where you know, utaw,

585
00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:29,800
Speaker 9: the team we just played, you know, was winless in

586
00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:34,880
Speaker 9: about six games. It's it's a difficult league, and there

587
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:38,280
Speaker 9: is a very very fine line between winning and losing,

588
00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:42,080
Speaker 9: and there's some nights when you get on the wrong

589
00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:44,520
Speaker 9: side of that line and it just kind of snowballs

590
00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:49,040
Speaker 9: a little bit. Scheduling things like that have, you know,

591
00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:51,520
Speaker 9: have things to do with it. We like to say

592
00:29:51,560 --> 00:29:53,960
Speaker 9: no excuses, and we can't use any excuses.

593
00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:55,200
Speaker 8: We just have to be better.

594
00:29:56,720 --> 00:29:59,760
Speaker 9: But it seems to me, you know, to answer your

595
00:29:59,800 --> 00:30:04,720
Speaker 9: quest with our team, it seems like we're having a

596
00:30:04,760 --> 00:30:07,680
Speaker 9: little bit of streaky nature to us beginning of the season.

597
00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:10,680
Speaker 9: I liked this in December, even though we were losing.

598
00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:13,520
Speaker 9: I continued to say that I felt like we were

599
00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:18,120
Speaker 9: playing well. I don't say that same thing right now.

600
00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:20,040
Speaker 9: I'm not happy with the way we're playing well.

601
00:30:20,320 --> 00:30:23,080
Speaker 7: Coach, you mentioned the short handed goals, and I've never

602
00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:26,120
Speaker 7: coached a hockey game in my life. I've never even

603
00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:28,760
Speaker 7: sat on a bench during a hockey game, which if

604
00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:30,480
Speaker 7: you never liked us to sit next to you, we'd

605
00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:34,560
Speaker 7: love to be the way. But I know one thing

606
00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:36,840
Speaker 7: that would make me smash my head against the glass,

607
00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:39,720
Speaker 7: and that's short hated goals for three games in a row.

608
00:30:40,040 --> 00:30:42,760
Speaker 7: Go back and talk more about what's leading to those

609
00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:44,400
Speaker 7: and how you fix it starting tonight.

610
00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:48,640
Speaker 9: Well, we can't be given those up, and we've given

611
00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:52,200
Speaker 9: them up at critical times. You know, they've been first

612
00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:54,200
Speaker 9: period type of thing. We went into Utah, had a

613
00:30:54,240 --> 00:30:56,240
Speaker 9: great start to the game score, then we got a

614
00:30:56,280 --> 00:30:59,680
Speaker 9: power play, you know, with the opportunity to go up

615
00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:02,200
Speaker 9: to and you know, we lose a face off, we

616
00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:03,800
Speaker 9: lose a battle, we get beat up the ice, and

617
00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:06,000
Speaker 9: all of a sudden it's one to one instead of two. Nothing,

618
00:31:06,120 --> 00:31:09,920
Speaker 9: just backbreaking type of goals that you you know, then

619
00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:13,520
Speaker 9: you have to find your way around. But certainly there's

620
00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:17,160
Speaker 9: been some individual mistakes. And you can say that guys

621
00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:19,080
Speaker 9: on a lot of goals, right, and there's gonna be

622
00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:23,080
Speaker 9: mistakes that are made as well. But you know, there's

623
00:31:23,080 --> 00:31:26,280
Speaker 9: some individual mistakes made on these power play goals that

624
00:31:26,320 --> 00:31:29,479
Speaker 9: we have to correct and clean up. And you know,

625
00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:32,560
Speaker 9: it's it's a situation where you're going to give up

626
00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:36,360
Speaker 9: one or two shorthanded goals here or there, but three

627
00:31:36,400 --> 00:31:37,080
Speaker 9: games in a row.

628
00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:37,720
Speaker 8: I don't know.

629
00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:40,520
Speaker 9: If I've ever given up short three shorthanded goals in

630
00:31:40,840 --> 00:31:42,120
Speaker 9: three consecutive games, by the.

631
00:31:42,080 --> 00:31:44,680
Speaker 7: Way, just for giggles, Can you ever imagine any scenario

632
00:31:44,800 --> 00:31:46,600
Speaker 7: where you would allow Dick and I to join you

633
00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:47,600
Speaker 7: on the bench during.

634
00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:50,959
Speaker 9: Again, you know what, guys, I'm going to tell you

635
00:31:51,040 --> 00:31:54,760
Speaker 9: right now, it's not possible, but I will tell you

636
00:31:54,840 --> 00:31:58,840
Speaker 9: that you would be extremely shocked at how.

637
00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:01,400
Speaker 6: How it is down there.

638
00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:07,000
Speaker 9: It's intense, it's fast. We used to have a goalie

639
00:32:07,040 --> 00:32:09,640
Speaker 9: coach in Nashville that he would come down from the

640
00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:12,880
Speaker 9: press box with like two minutes left in the game

641
00:32:13,040 --> 00:32:16,560
Speaker 9: if it was potentially going into a shootout, and he

642
00:32:16,880 --> 00:32:21,120
Speaker 9: absolutely couldn't believe how fast and how much was going

643
00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:26,120
Speaker 9: on down there during a game, you know, as opposed

644
00:32:26,160 --> 00:32:28,120
Speaker 9: to sitting up a in the stands or b where

645
00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:30,680
Speaker 9: he was in the press box. So you, guys, it

646
00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:33,160
Speaker 9: would be a heck of experience for you. And then

647
00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:36,200
Speaker 9: you also got a dodge pucks. Yeah, we had to

648
00:32:36,240 --> 00:32:37,600
Speaker 9: do a few times last week.

649
00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:40,160
Speaker 7: Fine, well, both both both Deck and I are known

650
00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:42,880
Speaker 7: for our agilities, so that'd be no prob right, Okay,

651
00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:43,800
Speaker 7: no problem.

652
00:32:45,520 --> 00:32:46,360
Speaker 9: I bet you are.

653
00:32:47,720 --> 00:32:50,080
Speaker 11: Yeah, it's fan game's fast enough when we're sitting twenty

654
00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:52,680
Speaker 11: rows up, there's no question how much faster it is

655
00:32:52,680 --> 00:32:55,560
Speaker 11: down on the eyes lane. Lambert joining us and you know, coach,

656
00:32:55,600 --> 00:32:58,240
Speaker 11: tonight is your tenth game in sixteen days.

657
00:32:58,280 --> 00:32:59,560
Speaker 4: I know everybody has to.

658
00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:01,680
Speaker 11: Deal with it because of the long Olympic break, but

659
00:33:01,760 --> 00:33:04,960
Speaker 11: how much is fatigue starting to be a factorable mental

660
00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:06,120
Speaker 11: and physical.

661
00:33:07,080 --> 00:33:09,680
Speaker 9: Well we're trying to you know, we're trying to keep

662
00:33:09,720 --> 00:33:14,560
Speaker 9: that out of our minds, but I just really feel like, guys,

663
00:33:14,560 --> 00:33:16,600
Speaker 9: there's some of the things that we've been doing in

664
00:33:16,640 --> 00:33:21,719
Speaker 9: the last couple of games that are uncharacteristic, and you know,

665
00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:24,600
Speaker 9: we're trying to give our guys as much rest as possible.

666
00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:27,440
Speaker 9: You know, we are in we are in this situation.

667
00:33:27,600 --> 00:33:28,880
Speaker 8: We knew we had to play all.

668
00:33:28,800 --> 00:33:30,160
Speaker 9: These games in January.

669
00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:32,280
Speaker 8: You know, I think we're.

670
00:33:32,120 --> 00:33:34,640
Speaker 9: Eleven of them now into it. So this will be

671
00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:38,120
Speaker 9: like you said, it's it's this is our twelfth game

672
00:33:38,200 --> 00:33:41,080
Speaker 9: in twenty one days or whatever it's going to be.

673
00:33:41,880 --> 00:33:47,080
Speaker 9: And you know, it's it's certainly as starting to catch

674
00:33:47,160 --> 00:33:49,680
Speaker 9: up a little bit. We've got to find a way

675
00:33:49,720 --> 00:33:51,800
Speaker 9: to balance everything out. We've got to find a way

676
00:33:51,840 --> 00:33:54,280
Speaker 9: to use everybody as much as possible.

677
00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:55,400
Speaker 8: You know.

678
00:33:55,760 --> 00:33:58,160
Speaker 9: And with that being said, you know you still have

679
00:33:58,200 --> 00:33:59,600
Speaker 9: to find the matchups that you want.

680
00:34:00,560 --> 00:34:01,440
Speaker 5: Uh.

681
00:34:01,480 --> 00:34:04,320
Speaker 9: It is it is a bit of a balancing actor's

682
00:34:04,320 --> 00:34:07,040
Speaker 9: no question. And and you know we do play the

683
00:34:07,080 --> 00:34:09,480
Speaker 9: most games in the month of January International Hockey League,

684
00:34:09,640 --> 00:34:10,000
Speaker 9: no doubt.

685
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:11,520
Speaker 4: Well, Ley Lammer with us and Lane.

686
00:34:11,560 --> 00:34:14,080
Speaker 7: Just to wrap it up before tonight's game with the Islanders,

687
00:34:14,120 --> 00:34:16,440
Speaker 7: let's let's leave on a real kind of fun positive

688
00:34:16,480 --> 00:34:18,279
Speaker 7: note here. I mean, you know what it's like to

689
00:34:18,360 --> 00:34:20,440
Speaker 7: be a part of a Stanley Cup champion team. You

690
00:34:20,480 --> 00:34:22,560
Speaker 7: know what it's like to play for a title. Uh,

691
00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:25,160
Speaker 7: you got to coach across the way here in Mike McDonald,

692
00:34:25,200 --> 00:34:27,799
Speaker 7: man who's going to be coaching his second playoff game

693
00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:31,200
Speaker 7: ever this weekend in the NFC Championship, and a lot

694
00:34:31,239 --> 00:34:33,600
Speaker 7: of players on that team have never been in that

695
00:34:33,719 --> 00:34:36,560
Speaker 7: role before. So I mean, obviously we can't talk in

696
00:34:36,560 --> 00:34:39,319
Speaker 7: football terms here, but in hockey terms, what's the what's

697
00:34:39,360 --> 00:34:41,680
Speaker 7: the advice for a first time head coach like Mike

698
00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:44,360
Speaker 7: McDonald who's going into the biggest game of his life

699
00:34:44,360 --> 00:34:46,560
Speaker 7: with a chance to play in the Super Bowl on Sunday.

700
00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:50,160
Speaker 9: No, boy, I don't know if I can give advice

701
00:34:50,239 --> 00:34:52,600
Speaker 9: to a coach who's going to try and play in

702
00:34:52,600 --> 00:34:55,360
Speaker 9: the Super Bowl, that's for sure. He's you know, he

703
00:34:55,520 --> 00:34:58,840
Speaker 9: from from what I see. What an amazing season, what

704
00:34:58,920 --> 00:35:04,560
Speaker 9: an amazing job. You know, they are an amazing football team,

705
00:35:04,640 --> 00:35:06,719
Speaker 9: and the city is jacked up, and so are we

706
00:35:06,760 --> 00:35:10,520
Speaker 9: in the Crack and organization. We can't wait for the game,

707
00:35:10,640 --> 00:35:14,040
Speaker 9: can't wait to watch the game, you know. I guess

708
00:35:14,080 --> 00:35:16,520
Speaker 9: my only thing is just enjoy it. Enjoy it as

709
00:35:16,560 --> 00:35:19,720
Speaker 9: much as you can. It's a stressful environment, but enjoy

710
00:35:19,760 --> 00:35:21,520
Speaker 9: it as much as you can. So that would be

711
00:35:21,560 --> 00:35:22,360
Speaker 9: my only advice.

712
00:35:22,560 --> 00:35:23,239
Speaker 4: I love it well.
