1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,000 Speaker 1: Here he is every Monday at four o'clock on the 2 00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:05,360 Speaker 1: radio program. Heard him on the air today, But no, 3 00:00:05,720 --> 00:00:09,160 Speaker 1: just want a little more dick, a little more at 4 00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:12,240 Speaker 1: four with our friend Hugh Millon every Monday right here 5 00:00:12,280 --> 00:00:13,360 Speaker 1: on ninety three three KG. 6 00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:14,560 Speaker 2: I get enough of this guy. 7 00:00:14,680 --> 00:00:14,920 Speaker 3: Yeah? 8 00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:18,599 Speaker 2: How are Yeah? Yeah, you didn't hear that because I 9 00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:22,640 Speaker 2: wasn't on Rascal. You know what, dude, theater the mind. 10 00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:25,759 Speaker 1: Come on, man, help me out here, for God's sakes, 11 00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:28,320 Speaker 1: help me out. 12 00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:29,800 Speaker 4: The whole more at. 13 00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:32,239 Speaker 1: Four thing doesn't work unless you were already on the 14 00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:34,880 Speaker 1: air with the morning show this morning. So good god, 15 00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:37,199 Speaker 1: it's not for the first time at four. It's more 16 00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:40,879 Speaker 1: at four, Okay, Huey, let's get into it. Brian Fleery, uh, 17 00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:44,559 Speaker 1: the Niners run game coordinator tight ends coach, is the 18 00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:46,800 Speaker 1: brand new offensive coordinator for the Seahawks. 19 00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:52,440 Speaker 2: Your thoughts, Well, I like that he's played quarterback, albeit sparingly. 20 00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:55,279 Speaker 2: He walked on it Maryland and then went to Towson. 21 00:00:56,320 --> 00:01:00,520 Speaker 2: I like that he has been a defensive cour co ordinator, 22 00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:04,360 Speaker 2: again at a lower level, but he's been the Browns 23 00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:08,640 Speaker 2: outside linebackers coach. He's been the forty nine ers defensive 24 00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:10,679 Speaker 2: quality control coach. I mean, if you just kind of 25 00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:14,800 Speaker 2: look at his bio, it's too long for me to list, 26 00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:17,199 Speaker 2: but he's been in a lot of spots and learned 27 00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:20,480 Speaker 2: a lot of football. So I think what probably comforts 28 00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:23,600 Speaker 2: me the most there is some familiarity with the offensive 29 00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:28,080 Speaker 2: system and the terminology, having come from San Francisco. And 30 00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:33,440 Speaker 2: then the final point that probably comforts me is that 31 00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:36,880 Speaker 2: Mike McDonald we've proven that he wants to be hands 32 00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:41,960 Speaker 2: on with the offensive coordinator. Whether Brian Grubb was thrust 33 00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:45,680 Speaker 2: upon him by John Schneider or however that played out, 34 00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:48,600 Speaker 2: McDonald had a very clear vision of what he wanted 35 00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:52,720 Speaker 2: and he acted decisively. After one year, he brought in 36 00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:58,120 Speaker 2: Clint Kubiak. And so I think that if Fleury has 37 00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:04,800 Speaker 2: survived this scrutiny in the process from Mike McDonald, then 38 00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:08,440 Speaker 2: that's got to be enough for I'll say it's enough 39 00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:10,800 Speaker 2: for me, probably enough for most fans. 40 00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:13,840 Speaker 5: I'm actually probably gonna ask you to speculate on this here, 41 00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:17,040 Speaker 5: but how do we get to this point where leading 42 00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:19,480 Speaker 5: up from from the Super Bowl up to this weekend, 43 00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:21,639 Speaker 5: it was like, Hey, the Seahawks are gonna hire within, 44 00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:24,919 Speaker 5: Seahawks are gonna hire within, Jenoko's probably the guy. How 45 00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:27,720 Speaker 5: do we get then to We're not going to hire 46 00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:30,080 Speaker 5: from within, We're going to hire from without and go 47 00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:33,200 Speaker 5: to our rivals. But Jenoko's still good enough to get 48 00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:35,680 Speaker 5: an OC job with the guy that's leaving to be 49 00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:36,280 Speaker 5: the head coach. 50 00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:42,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, well maybe Clint Kobiak has a different senators that 51 00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:47,200 Speaker 2: that's the best that he could get. And and and look, 52 00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:51,240 Speaker 2: Mike McDonald again, we have to trust him. Just because 53 00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:56,079 Speaker 2: you hire from within, you could say that's preferable, right right, right, 54 00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:58,280 Speaker 2: Like if you're sitting there, Okay, what are the big 55 00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:01,000 Speaker 2: checkboxes I needed to checked? And then what are the 56 00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:04,840 Speaker 2: little boxes? Evidently Mike McDonald thought that was a little box, 57 00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:08,320 Speaker 2: that that's a preferable but not needed. Look at the Lions. 58 00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:12,600 Speaker 2: They they lost Ben Johnson off to Chicago, they hired 59 00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:17,040 Speaker 2: from within John Morton, and by mid season Dan Campbell 60 00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:21,160 Speaker 2: was was whacking John Morton and calling the plays himself, 61 00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:22,960 Speaker 2: which I had never known that he had ever done. 62 00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:28,560 Speaker 2: So I think that through the process McDonald again, I'll 63 00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:30,840 Speaker 2: just say, he has a vision of what he wants 64 00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:34,960 Speaker 2: and he's gonna have intricate discussions and and there's a 65 00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:38,480 Speaker 2: hell of a lot that goes into being an offensive coordinator, 66 00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:42,120 Speaker 2: right and and you know, and and so McDonald trusts him. 67 00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:44,640 Speaker 2: He's a he's a first time play caller. We'll be 68 00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:49,200 Speaker 2: talking very at length about him after Week one, no doubt, 69 00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:53,120 Speaker 2: uh and and all the subsequent weeks about his play 70 00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:55,360 Speaker 2: calling style and what have you. But there's that that's 71 00:03:55,400 --> 00:04:01,080 Speaker 2: a multi layered, multifaceted challenge that he's ever had to engage. 72 00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:04,360 Speaker 2: And it's Mike McDonald's speculation. And if anybody tells you 73 00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:06,840 Speaker 2: that you know he's gonna play it out, yes, I 74 00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:09,160 Speaker 2: think they're lying, including Mike McDonald. He might have a 75 00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:12,080 Speaker 2: strong hunch and a great feel, but we don't know 76 00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:12,880 Speaker 2: until we see it. 77 00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:16,400 Speaker 1: Well, you're talking about again, the head coach of the offense, 78 00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:19,680 Speaker 1: because McDonald runs the d. This guy's the head coach 79 00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:22,120 Speaker 1: of the offense, and he's a first time play caller 80 00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:25,839 Speaker 1: on a team that's trying to repeat as Super Bowl champions. 81 00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:28,080 Speaker 1: I mean, there's a part of that that makes me 82 00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:30,720 Speaker 1: a little bit squeamish, Hugh. You know, I'm with you 83 00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:33,840 Speaker 1: in general terms that if Mike likes the guy, he's 84 00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:36,280 Speaker 1: earned that right. I think for us to have that 85 00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:39,440 Speaker 1: trust in him that he knows what he's doing. But 86 00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:42,520 Speaker 1: this isn't a four and thirteen football team that's finding 87 00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:45,120 Speaker 1: its way course. This is a football team that's trying 88 00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:48,320 Speaker 1: to take advantage of a window here and make some history. 89 00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:51,000 Speaker 1: And they're turning over to the offense at this time 90 00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:53,920 Speaker 1: and their history to a first time play caller. 91 00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:55,919 Speaker 4: Does that make you a little squeamish too. 92 00:04:56,800 --> 00:05:02,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, it does, because it's again the product of two factors, 93 00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:05,719 Speaker 2: the probability times of magnitude. I mean, we can say 94 00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:09,040 Speaker 2: he's probably gonna be good, but that means that there's 95 00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:10,920 Speaker 2: certainly a chance that he's not. I mean, I got 96 00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:13,800 Speaker 2: a buddy owns property out in Montana. When we go 97 00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:17,800 Speaker 2: hiking out there, there's there's a chance we'll get I'll 98 00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:21,240 Speaker 2: get a bit by a mosquito, a bee, a rattlesnake, 99 00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:23,920 Speaker 2: or a grizzly. Now, if he told me before the 100 00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:26,880 Speaker 2: hikes are all terrible, by the way, well you told 101 00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:33,560 Speaker 2: twenty chance on all of them. The mosquito and the bee. 102 00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:36,120 Speaker 2: I'm probably still going on the hike. The rattlesnake, and 103 00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:38,279 Speaker 2: the grizzly. I'm probably gonna stay back at the cabin. 104 00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:41,280 Speaker 2: Sit this one out right, So so you know, and 105 00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:44,520 Speaker 2: and so all of those have the same probabilities. So 106 00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:49,200 Speaker 2: it's it's okay, what's the magnitude? And so I think this. 107 00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:52,520 Speaker 2: We know that Flory's gonna come in and he's got 108 00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:55,520 Speaker 2: a cool offense. Okay, great, you install the offense. Mike 109 00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:59,719 Speaker 2: McDonald believes in his presence, as you said, the head 110 00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:02,359 Speaker 2: coach the offense. You point that out aptly. You've got 111 00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:05,000 Speaker 2: to be the guy up there and and uh, you know, 112 00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:09,800 Speaker 2: take command, have some somewhat of a statement statesmanship type 113 00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:13,400 Speaker 2: of presence to you. Okay, so he trusts that. But 114 00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:15,640 Speaker 2: then and then, and then you go to game plan. 115 00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:18,479 Speaker 2: All right, it's great that the terminology far west left 116 00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:21,160 Speaker 2: slot was that far west left slot last year. It's 117 00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:23,599 Speaker 2: gonna be you know that that formation. You know the 118 00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:28,000 Speaker 2: protections all of that. If you can keep the terminology together, great, 119 00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:32,440 Speaker 2: But now when you go to game plan in the week, 120 00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:37,880 Speaker 2: find weaknesses, then in the game you're you have to 121 00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:41,320 Speaker 2: act react in real time. Okay, I'm expecting cover three. 122 00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:44,120 Speaker 2: Well that's a three D four under. That's what what 123 00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:46,599 Speaker 2: Pete Carroll used to play. But how do you play 124 00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:50,599 Speaker 2: cover three? Are you carrying the slot receiver. How much 125 00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:53,200 Speaker 2: are you are you? Are you going to carry the 126 00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:56,320 Speaker 2: slot receiver and then and then buzz out underneath the combenty. Well, 127 00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:59,359 Speaker 2: that determines which of your cover three beaters are you 128 00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:01,760 Speaker 2: gonna call. You can all four verticals or you can 129 00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:06,200 Speaker 2: call the scene comeback combination. You know, well, that's that's 130 00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:09,720 Speaker 2: not just the the coverage. I said, well that's cover three, 131 00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:11,880 Speaker 2: it's how are you playing cover three? And then throw 132 00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:15,520 Speaker 2: in the personnel piece of it? Okay, uh? Are are 133 00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:19,080 Speaker 2: we pressing outside? You know? How aggressive? Are are we pressing? 134 00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:21,040 Speaker 3: Are we? Uh? 135 00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:24,320 Speaker 2: Are we you know often bailing? Are we triggering on stuff? 136 00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:25,680 Speaker 2: Are we? Are we backing off? 137 00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:25,800 Speaker 3: Like? 138 00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:28,960 Speaker 2: You have to react to all of this in real 139 00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:32,640 Speaker 2: time and call the appropriate play late. I'll just give 140 00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:35,600 Speaker 2: you an example in the in the NFC Championship game. 141 00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:39,679 Speaker 2: We all remember Jackson Smith going getting that post route 142 00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:41,520 Speaker 2: right down the middle at the end of the second quarter, 143 00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:43,920 Speaker 2: the forty two yard right he got hit when he threw. 144 00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:47,960 Speaker 2: Well you look at how how that play was built. 145 00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:51,240 Speaker 2: Rashid shi Heat coming over and snapping the ball about 146 00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:54,040 Speaker 2: three feet before he got to Jackson Smith and Jigba 147 00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:57,840 Speaker 2: ensured that the way that the Rams were bouncing that 148 00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:01,000 Speaker 2: right at that precise time, Jackson, Smith and Jig. But 149 00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:05,040 Speaker 2: he went from having an overhang defender that was going 150 00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:08,360 Speaker 2: to redirect him, he went from that to having free 151 00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:12,760 Speaker 2: access that is, that is everything on that play. And 152 00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:15,440 Speaker 2: yet it had to be it had to be how 153 00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:18,560 Speaker 2: you construct the play. What's the splits, when you motion, 154 00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:22,360 Speaker 2: when you snap the ball. All of those layers, you know, 155 00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:25,280 Speaker 2: create a foundation for how you get a big play 156 00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:29,120 Speaker 2: in the NFC Championship game. So until he shows us 157 00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:32,480 Speaker 2: all that he can do those nuances that he can, 158 00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:35,720 Speaker 2: you know, insert those nuances and have his team execute it, 159 00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:40,400 Speaker 2: I think we're all just hopeful and and leaning on 160 00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:43,120 Speaker 2: the expertise of Mike McDonald, which is not a bad 161 00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:45,000 Speaker 2: person to lean on, But we don't know. 162 00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:48,320 Speaker 5: Well both your old coordinator and your new coordinator both 163 00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:51,120 Speaker 5: from the Shanahan tree. So is it fair for me 164 00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:54,880 Speaker 5: to assume that there's very very little difference and going 165 00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:57,559 Speaker 5: to be a very easy learning curve. 166 00:08:57,400 --> 00:08:59,360 Speaker 6: For the players to take it to UH to take 167 00:08:59,360 --> 00:08:59,959 Speaker 6: with this new guy. 168 00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:04,679 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think so. I think again, the terminology is important, 169 00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:10,920 Speaker 2: but it's so so the formations UH your past concepts, 170 00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:13,439 Speaker 2: how they're described Uh, you know all of that, you'd 171 00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:16,160 Speaker 2: want to say, Okay, we're just using you want to 172 00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:18,040 Speaker 2: be in you know, mini camp, just call the same 173 00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:20,480 Speaker 2: stuff that was working last year, right, you don't want 174 00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:23,120 Speaker 2: to have a new terminology. 175 00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:23,800 Speaker 3: Uh. 176 00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:28,280 Speaker 2: But you know then it's a question how is he 177 00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:31,079 Speaker 2: going to put his flare on it? Even if Clint 178 00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:35,200 Speaker 2: Kubiak was here, you'd be saying, Okay, we can't just 179 00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:38,400 Speaker 2: remain stagnant, right, we have we have to find a 180 00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:40,480 Speaker 2: way to improve on last year. What are we going 181 00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:43,920 Speaker 2: to install now that we've gone through a year uh 182 00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:47,320 Speaker 2: of you know first year? Okay, what's appropriate to install 183 00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:50,560 Speaker 2: for second year? So even had the entire staff remained 184 00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:53,880 Speaker 2: the same, I still think that prudence would have dictated 185 00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:55,960 Speaker 2: that you're going to change something of what you did, 186 00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:59,000 Speaker 2: you know, keep the nuts and bolts, but make a refinement. 187 00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:02,679 Speaker 2: So now when Fleury is he going to identify that? 188 00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:04,880 Speaker 2: And how is his twist going to be honest? Right, 189 00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:07,120 Speaker 2: there's a lot of unanswered questions, no doubt. 190 00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:10,400 Speaker 1: Well, I wonder if Sam Donald was even involved in 191 00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:13,680 Speaker 1: this at all. I mean, typically players aren't allowed to 192 00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:16,160 Speaker 1: pick coaches, right, I mean ask Calmburn that and then 193 00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:18,440 Speaker 1: Duck by the way, Yeah, but he was with him 194 00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:21,040 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty three when he was the tight ends 195 00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:23,680 Speaker 1: coach of the forty nine ers. And I don't know, 196 00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:26,680 Speaker 1: I mean, do you think that Sam Donald even was 197 00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:30,000 Speaker 1: remotely asked for his input on this guy? Just because 198 00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:32,000 Speaker 1: they were there doesn't mean they were best buddies, for 199 00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:35,120 Speaker 1: God's sakes, and in twenty three, but would you expect 200 00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:37,600 Speaker 1: that McDonald may have gone to Sam and said, hey, 201 00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:39,040 Speaker 1: what's your take on this guy? 202 00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:42,600 Speaker 2: Yeah? I think that could have happened in an informal sense. 203 00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:45,400 Speaker 2: That would be if you know, if I just were 204 00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:47,480 Speaker 2: to try and guess about the matter, you know, it'd 205 00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:50,640 Speaker 2: be just my conjecture. But I'm not big on you know, 206 00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:55,280 Speaker 2: Josh Allen reportedly was in on the on the meetings 207 00:10:55,320 --> 00:11:00,000 Speaker 2: and really directly involved that that seems that that seemed 208 00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:02,800 Speaker 2: rife for problems for hiring their new head coach and 209 00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:07,160 Speaker 2: Buffalo Yeah, yeah, exactly. So, you know, I'd be stunned 210 00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:09,480 Speaker 2: if Sam donald was involved in any sense of that. 211 00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:13,120 Speaker 2: But because he had a prior relationship, if Mike McDonald, 212 00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:16,200 Speaker 2: you know, would have you know, reached out, hey what 213 00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:18,800 Speaker 2: do you think of this guy? You know, you know, 214 00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:21,600 Speaker 2: did you enjoy working with him. What's your sense about him? 215 00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:25,560 Speaker 2: I don't think that would have been inappropriate, particularly because 216 00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:28,360 Speaker 2: because Donald of course had played for him. 217 00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:31,400 Speaker 5: Do you think it's more likely or less likely that 218 00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:35,120 Speaker 5: we'd hang on to some offensive guys, you know, the 219 00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:38,000 Speaker 5: Rashid Heeds, the ken Walkers for continuity sake, now that 220 00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:40,559 Speaker 5: you have a new coordinator or having a new coordinator 221 00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:43,320 Speaker 5: doesn't really matter in your personnel and whether you keep 222 00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:44,319 Speaker 5: the old guys. 223 00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:47,360 Speaker 2: That's a good question. My sense is to say, I 224 00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:52,040 Speaker 2: don't think it plays pivotally. You know, maybe she heat 225 00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:56,240 Speaker 2: because he had played down in New Orleans with Kubiak 226 00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:58,800 Speaker 2: and really a sense of comfort. Is there a chance 227 00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:01,280 Speaker 2: to Shheed is more likely to go to the Raiders 228 00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:04,000 Speaker 2: if the Raiders throw a good amount at him. Yeah, 229 00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:06,640 Speaker 2: I could, I could see that playing out. I I 230 00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:10,960 Speaker 2: think from John Snyder's standpoint, he's probably just you know, 231 00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:14,960 Speaker 2: stacking up as priority obviously in consultation with McDonald. But 232 00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:17,240 Speaker 2: I wouldn't think Dick that it that it has a 233 00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:19,800 Speaker 2: huge part, but it certainly has the potential to play. 234 00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:22,000 Speaker 1: How important is it for them to keep John Benton, 235 00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:24,680 Speaker 1: in your opinion, as their offensive line coach? 236 00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:27,440 Speaker 2: I think it's really important. You know, they came on 237 00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:30,280 Speaker 2: at the end and and they they had that stretch 238 00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:34,320 Speaker 2: there after the Colt game where everything just kind of 239 00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:36,960 Speaker 2: turned on in the running game, and and they probably 240 00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:41,600 Speaker 2: found themselves more in a a vision of how they 241 00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:45,000 Speaker 2: wanted to play, and they you know, they they got 242 00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:48,160 Speaker 2: more conservative with the throwing game, but they came alive 243 00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:50,440 Speaker 2: in the in the passing game. And then you know, 244 00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:54,359 Speaker 2: the one time that that you really needed the quarterback 245 00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:58,439 Speaker 2: to to just to deliver because there was no other answers. 246 00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:00,160 Speaker 2: There's no answers on the other side of the ball 247 00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:02,840 Speaker 2: is the NFC Championship game and you needed, you know, 248 00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:05,280 Speaker 2: Darnold to produce those three und forty six yards. So 249 00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:10,760 Speaker 2: I think that that general, the vision of how you 250 00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:16,560 Speaker 2: want the offense on the opposite of that historic defense 251 00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:20,040 Speaker 2: is relatively conservative, kind of like what we saw, but 252 00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:24,640 Speaker 2: still have the potency to rise up and deliver you know, 253 00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:28,600 Speaker 2: thirty eight points when you need to from the passing game. 254 00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:31,000 Speaker 2: And so I think everything played out almost exactly the 255 00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:32,400 Speaker 2: way McDonald would have won it. 256 00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:33,839 Speaker 4: Well, he let me play a club. 257 00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:37,680 Speaker 1: This is George Kettle, who obviously was coached by Flurry 258 00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:42,200 Speaker 1: in San Francisco talking about Brian Flurry, the new Seahawks 259 00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:43,120 Speaker 1: offensive coordinator. 260 00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:43,640 Speaker 4: Check it out. 261 00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:46,760 Speaker 7: Fleury is very, I don't want to say analytical, but 262 00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:51,000 Speaker 7: he is very, very knowledgeable in everything. He played quarterback, 263 00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:53,400 Speaker 7: who was on the defense side of the ball. He's 264 00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:55,280 Speaker 7: on the opposit side of the ball. He also was 265 00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:58,400 Speaker 7: the assistant Titans coach for I think two years with 266 00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:00,560 Speaker 7: the Niners in twenty twenty and twenty two twenty one 267 00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:04,040 Speaker 7: before he ultimately became our Titans coach in twenty twenty 268 00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:07,000 Speaker 7: two and Latin this year. And so he saw the 269 00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:09,719 Speaker 7: INMBO side of it, and he has done a good 270 00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:13,600 Speaker 7: job of pulling things from MBO and reemphasizing them while 271 00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:16,640 Speaker 7: also what I respect about flu is he's made the 272 00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:18,720 Speaker 7: tight end room his own as well. And how we 273 00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:20,320 Speaker 7: watch film and how we do stuff. 274 00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:23,640 Speaker 4: Any of that resonate with you, Hugh here enjoyed a lot. 275 00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:24,160 Speaker 3: Yeah. 276 00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:28,160 Speaker 2: In fact, I had another quote from quote. This is 277 00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:31,680 Speaker 2: again from George Kittle quote. He's big on all the 278 00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:36,520 Speaker 2: details on every single play. He knows absolutely everything going 279 00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:40,560 Speaker 2: on in the office on the offense. Sometimes a new 280 00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:43,040 Speaker 2: point of view can reveal a lot of different things 281 00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:46,760 Speaker 2: that I've never seen before, So I appreciate that from coach. 282 00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:51,400 Speaker 2: So there's kind of perfunctory comments that people make where 283 00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:53,520 Speaker 2: you say, oh, yeah, he's really you know, really good, 284 00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:55,960 Speaker 2: and then there's times where you say no, no, no, no, 285 00:14:56,040 --> 00:15:00,160 Speaker 2: that's far from perfunctory. That that's somebody who is sincere 286 00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:05,040 Speaker 2: and uh and going overboard because he believes it. And 287 00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:08,760 Speaker 2: that's my take on Kittle's comments. I think that he 288 00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:10,960 Speaker 2: has a great deal of respect for the details. 289 00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:12,080 Speaker 3: Again. Uh. 290 00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:16,800 Speaker 2: And when he was talking about, uh, the the stuff 291 00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:19,560 Speaker 2: that is a new perspective, he he singled out that 292 00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:21,480 Speaker 2: he had been a linebacker coach. Flory had been a 293 00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:25,200 Speaker 2: linebacker coach, and so uh, obviously tight ends have to 294 00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:28,960 Speaker 2: block linebackers. And so what Flory would do is say, hey, 295 00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:31,200 Speaker 2: you know, this is how they're you know, when when 296 00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:34,040 Speaker 2: they're when they're lined up here, what have you or 297 00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:37,040 Speaker 2: the defensive structure, you know, and this is how they're 298 00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:39,080 Speaker 2: going to set the edge. All kinds of things that 299 00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:41,360 Speaker 2: that Kittle thought was really valuable. But but I think 300 00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:45,200 Speaker 2: that's high praise and again, uh, beyond perfunctory. And so 301 00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:47,920 Speaker 2: I take it out of this merit love it here. 302 00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:49,960 Speaker 5: You've made a couple of comments on Mike McDonald. I 303 00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:53,520 Speaker 5: want to revisit the original comment when we first got him. 304 00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:55,520 Speaker 5: I mean, obviously you're your famous comment that he's the 305 00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:58,680 Speaker 5: greatest defensive mind on on planet Earth, and then you 306 00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:01,800 Speaker 5: but you also talked at that time about him having 307 00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:04,840 Speaker 5: to kind of strike while the iron's hot before other teams, 308 00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:07,000 Speaker 5: before other teams adjust to him. 309 00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:08,480 Speaker 6: But then you kind of revised that. 310 00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:10,600 Speaker 5: I think I do know quite earlier this season you 311 00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:12,280 Speaker 5: kind of revised that and said, well, wait a second, 312 00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:13,560 Speaker 5: maybe this isn't Mike McDonald. 313 00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:15,520 Speaker 6: Isn't the one hit wonder, right, And then. 314 00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:18,880 Speaker 5: So can you just kind of put those two comments 315 00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:21,640 Speaker 5: back on the table here and explain what you mean 316 00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:22,000 Speaker 5: by him. 317 00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:25,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, Well, the first comment had been when I had 318 00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:28,520 Speaker 2: looked at what he had done at Michigan, going from 319 00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:34,680 Speaker 2: I believe ninety fourth in defense to seventh in one year. 320 00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:36,560 Speaker 2: I know, it's almost thirty five points a game down 321 00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:40,240 Speaker 2: to seventeen halved it. And then what he did in 322 00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:43,560 Speaker 2: with Baltimore, how poor they had been the year before 323 00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:48,480 Speaker 2: he got there. They were below the median halfway through 324 00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:50,760 Speaker 2: year one with McDonald, but in the second half of 325 00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:54,000 Speaker 2: the year, number one in the NFL fewest points, and 326 00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:56,720 Speaker 2: then his second year of Baltimore they hit a triple 327 00:16:56,760 --> 00:17:01,760 Speaker 2: crown fewest points, fewest turnovers. He was most sacks rather, 328 00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:05,760 Speaker 2: and they did that all with journeyman defensive ends and 329 00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:10,800 Speaker 2: Javen Clowney and Kyle van Noyt both over thirty, both 330 00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:13,520 Speaker 2: on at least five teams. You don't think of Clowney 331 00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:15,720 Speaker 2: as a journeyman in that regard, but the facts are 332 00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:19,159 Speaker 2: that he was so given what he had done, I 333 00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:22,040 Speaker 2: took a deep breath and said, and a golp, and 334 00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:23,399 Speaker 2: I said, am I really going to say this on 335 00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:25,280 Speaker 2: kg R? Well, you know it's what I believe, so 336 00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:27,080 Speaker 2: I'm gonna say it, ye. And so that was the 337 00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:29,760 Speaker 2: comment about him, now, Dick. What I had said is 338 00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:33,320 Speaker 2: it was more of a generic statement that I thought 339 00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:37,240 Speaker 2: I expected Will would apply to Mike McDonald, which is, hey, 340 00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:40,040 Speaker 2: he's got this scheme, this too high structure, somewhat like 341 00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:44,480 Speaker 2: Vic Fangio, but a more elaborate blitz package, and the 342 00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:48,720 Speaker 2: way he the way he uses linebackers to set up 343 00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:52,240 Speaker 2: the stunts and you know, slam into an offensive tackle 344 00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:54,800 Speaker 2: and then loopa a guy around like there was a 345 00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:59,280 Speaker 2: there was a specificity about his his Baltimore defense that 346 00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:03,320 Speaker 2: I thought, Okay, that's cool, But every scheme, offense or 347 00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:06,919 Speaker 2: defense in the history of football has always been solved 348 00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:09,680 Speaker 2: at some point, right from the eighty five Bears and 349 00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:13,879 Speaker 2: their forty six defense onto everything else, and so so 350 00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:16,960 Speaker 2: my comment was more generic. The reason I have more 351 00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:20,040 Speaker 2: confidence now in McDonald is because what I've come to 352 00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:22,720 Speaker 2: learn from him in the last two years. When I 353 00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:27,560 Speaker 2: said that is I think that the guy has exceptional 354 00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:32,719 Speaker 2: football IQ brilliant you want to call it, genius. I 355 00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:35,640 Speaker 2: think he's that freaking smart and his vision and how 356 00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:39,959 Speaker 2: well he teaches. So I have more confidence that he 357 00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:46,119 Speaker 2: will adapt and the next thing that that is gonna 358 00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:49,679 Speaker 2: be given offenses trouble. I think Mike McDonald is the 359 00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:52,200 Speaker 2: most likely guy to come up with the idea. Yeah, 360 00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:54,359 Speaker 2: so I think he's gonna I think he's going to 361 00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:57,200 Speaker 2: be It's not just like, oh, he landed out this 362 00:18:57,280 --> 00:19:00,399 Speaker 2: one spot in time in history, like twenty two twenty 363 00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:04,960 Speaker 2: to twenty twenty three seasons. He's got this really cool system. 364 00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:07,120 Speaker 2: That's all he can do. He can't adapt. Good Look 365 00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:10,399 Speaker 2: Pete Carroll, Pee Carroll after the people, A lot of 366 00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:13,840 Speaker 2: teams proliferated the cover three and guess what, at the 367 00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:16,680 Speaker 2: end of the sea, his seare Pete Carroll couldn't coach 368 00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:19,439 Speaker 2: defense anymore. Right, you can make it, you couldn't adapt. 369 00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:22,000 Speaker 2: I think Mike McDonald is more likely to adapt than 370 00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:25,159 Speaker 2: Pete Carroll or basically anybody else. Yeah, so yeah, I 371 00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:27,840 Speaker 2: have more confidence as a Seahawk fan in that regard. 372 00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:30,080 Speaker 1: Hey, you're saying McDonald's going to be a chameleon that 373 00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:31,840 Speaker 1: Pete Carroll could not become. 374 00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:34,240 Speaker 2: I mean you could phrase it that way well. 375 00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:36,040 Speaker 1: And then, to be fair to Pete, he was always 376 00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:37,679 Speaker 1: he was in his mid fifties when he took the 377 00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:41,040 Speaker 1: Seahawks job. Mike's thirty eight, for God's sake, he's got 378 00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:42,800 Speaker 1: he's got a lot more time to go. But hey, 379 00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:45,720 Speaker 1: let's do this, Hugh, because we have a lot more 380 00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:47,960 Speaker 1: to go over. You know, I watched the replay of 381 00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:50,320 Speaker 1: the game this weekend. I want to ask you about that, 382 00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:52,359 Speaker 1: and I want to kind of get into Darnold a 383 00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:52,760 Speaker 1: little bit. 384 00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:54,760 Speaker 4: Ah, we have Chuck next, Okay, so we're gonna keep 385 00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:55,040 Speaker 4: it here. 386 00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:55,280 Speaker 3: Then. 387 00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:57,840 Speaker 1: Let me just get your thoughts on that then, Hugh, 388 00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:00,440 Speaker 1: Because I was I was watching the game over again 389 00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:02,439 Speaker 1: this weekend, and there's a couple of things that struck 390 00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:04,560 Speaker 1: we Number one, I think Derek Hall should have been 391 00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:06,680 Speaker 1: the MVP. I'm not losing sleep over it, but I'd 392 00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:07,080 Speaker 1: give him. 393 00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:07,720 Speaker 4: The MVP ye. 394 00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:10,760 Speaker 1: And then number two, Man, I really didn't think Donald 395 00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:13,480 Speaker 1: played that well. I'm just watching the replay of the game, 396 00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:17,040 Speaker 1: and he was missing throws that he normally would have made. 397 00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:19,840 Speaker 4: And I thought Sam had an off day. How about you? 398 00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:22,879 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that Derek Hall, Yeah, I agree with 399 00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:25,159 Speaker 2: you that he could have been the guy, or Witherspoon 400 00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:28,160 Speaker 2: could have been a guy. Maybe they, in my mind, 401 00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:31,680 Speaker 2: had pretty equal contributions. You could even say Spoon was 402 00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:34,200 Speaker 2: a little better if you just watch every playing coverage. 403 00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:37,320 Speaker 2: But in terms of making the splash plays that you 404 00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:40,880 Speaker 2: need to make to be a Super Bowl MVP, they're 405 00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:45,080 Speaker 2: probably comparable. But they probably took votes from one another, right. 406 00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:47,399 Speaker 2: You know, if it had just been Derek Hall and 407 00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:50,440 Speaker 2: Spoon hadn't done what he did, and Derek Hall was 408 00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:53,359 Speaker 2: the only guy filling up the defensive stat page, it 409 00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:57,600 Speaker 2: might have been Derek Hall. And then you know, as 410 00:20:57,600 --> 00:21:01,320 Speaker 2: for Sam Darnold, Look, I've studied the tape and I 411 00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:06,280 Speaker 2: thought it was worse watching the tape than I did 412 00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:09,399 Speaker 2: watching it live because he missed he I don't I 413 00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:12,920 Speaker 2: don't mean miss on the throw, just he missed open 414 00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:15,880 Speaker 2: receivers didn't throw it to him. I mean a number 415 00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:17,760 Speaker 2: of times. And of course the second quarter, the worst 416 00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:20,400 Speaker 2: play he had is he missed that touchdown to JSN 417 00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:24,840 Speaker 2: on the post. But here's how I put it. Sam 418 00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:28,720 Speaker 2: Darnald's Super Bowl ring was won against the Rams, and 419 00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:31,160 Speaker 2: I just want to turn the focus as we close 420 00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:34,600 Speaker 2: the segment. I want you to just think in that 421 00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:38,919 Speaker 2: Thursday night game, Week sixteen, when Donald threw his second 422 00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:43,000 Speaker 2: interception early in the fourth quarter, and at that juncture, 423 00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:45,720 Speaker 2: if you take the prior year, when everybody you know 424 00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:47,880 Speaker 2: in the Seattle Times, you know, every time they play 425 00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:50,760 Speaker 2: the Rams, to say can Donald exercise the ghosts? And 426 00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:53,639 Speaker 2: he's being asked all these questions, you know, before the 427 00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:56,639 Speaker 2: game at that point when he walked to the sideline 428 00:21:57,080 --> 00:22:00,840 Speaker 2: and maybe his teammates are trying to avoid eye contact 429 00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:05,280 Speaker 2: with him. He against all other teams as a Viking 430 00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:08,240 Speaker 2: and Seahawks starting quarterback. He had one hundred and five 431 00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:11,640 Speaker 2: passer rating over the last two years out of fifty 432 00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:16,720 Speaker 2: eight qualifiers. That was fourth, okay, But against the Rams 433 00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:20,840 Speaker 2: he had one touchdown, seven picks, and as sixty passer rating. 434 00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:24,879 Speaker 2: You know, you know that that ranks fifty sixth. So 435 00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:29,080 Speaker 2: like like it's like the Rams were his his kryptonite, 436 00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:33,320 Speaker 2: and right there on that sideline with the number one 437 00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:36,760 Speaker 2: seed on the line, he had to somehow find something, 438 00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:41,520 Speaker 2: find something deep because because they're going against Matthew Stafford, 439 00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:44,280 Speaker 2: it's like, dude, we can't stop this cap. You're gonna 440 00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:46,800 Speaker 2: have to step up from that point on in the 441 00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:50,080 Speaker 2: fourth quarter, in the overtime, and then in the playoff 442 00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:56,240 Speaker 2: game against against the Rams, he threw for four hundred 443 00:22:56,280 --> 00:22:59,520 Speaker 2: and thirty seven yards, five touchdowns, no picks, and one 444 00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:05,080 Speaker 2: hundred thirty two passer rating against the Rams. When the like, no, 445 00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:07,600 Speaker 2: it's great, call the dark Side what you want, I'm 446 00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:10,640 Speaker 2: I'm on record as saying no, the dark Side has 447 00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:14,680 Speaker 2: not done what the uh uh the Legion of Boom did. 448 00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:17,480 Speaker 2: And the bulk of the reason why I said this 449 00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:20,240 Speaker 2: is because they can't solve Matthew Stafford. The only guy. 450 00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:22,639 Speaker 2: The way they could solve Matthew Stafford is to have 451 00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:25,919 Speaker 2: Sam Darnold's step up and out. Yeah no, And so 452 00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:29,800 Speaker 2: I said, I just, oh my god, I just like 453 00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:34,480 Speaker 2: like that courage that. I mean, athletes just don't aren't 454 00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:37,480 Speaker 2: under that gun. Tell me another sport, what pictures? 455 00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:38,000 Speaker 3: You know what? 456 00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:40,080 Speaker 2: You know what happened. If he was a pitcher on 457 00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:41,960 Speaker 2: that second pick, they would have they would have pulled 458 00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:43,800 Speaker 2: him out. They would have just gone to the bullpen like. 459 00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:47,200 Speaker 2: But the quarterback has to stand and deliver and dig 460 00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:49,320 Speaker 2: himself out of the hole. He did it, and that 461 00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:51,119 Speaker 2: that's that's why he's having that. 462 00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:52,600 Speaker 4: We got to break. 463 00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:55,480 Speaker 1: Matt Stafford threw for nine hundred and sixty one yards, 464 00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:57,800 Speaker 1: eight touchdowns and zero picks for a one hundred and 465 00:23:57,880 --> 00:24:00,400 Speaker 1: ten point eight passer rating against the Hawks the year 466 00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:03,400 Speaker 1: and he went one and two because Sam Darnold tore 467 00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:07,119 Speaker 1: his defense apart. That's why he lost. All right, great stuff, 468 00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:09,520 Speaker 1: we'll talk later in a week. All right here, milly guys, 469 00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:13,280 Speaker 1: let's head to Peoria, Arizona. Chuck Powell an update from 470 00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:15,320 Speaker 1: Cactus League Mariners spring training. 471 00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:20,560 Speaker 8: Next from the R and R Foundation Specialist Broadcast Studio. 472 00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:23,879 Speaker 8: Now back to SOFTI and Dick on your home for 473 00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:27,560 Speaker 8: the Huskies, Kraken and the twelfth Man Sports Radio ninety 474 00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:29,280 Speaker 8: three point three kJ R. 475 00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:32,720 Speaker 9: Our guys are confident. We know we have a good team, 476 00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:35,240 Speaker 9: and we experienced a lot of things last year. We 477 00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:37,000 Speaker 9: came up a couple out shorts of going to the 478 00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:41,040 Speaker 9: World Series, and that gave our guys that the confidence 479 00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:43,800 Speaker 9: necessary to believe that we can go out there and 480 00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:47,439 Speaker 9: really run it. We have stars, we have personalities, we 481 00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:50,120 Speaker 9: have depth, we have pitching. It's a there's a lot 482 00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:52,040 Speaker 9: of things that we're doing right now, and I think 483 00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:53,439 Speaker 9: the league around us is noticing. 484 00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:55,679 Speaker 1: They also have Chuck and Buck doing the show all 485 00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:57,800 Speaker 1: week long from their facility in Peoria. 486 00:24:57,880 --> 00:24:59,119 Speaker 6: That's where ten extra wins this. 487 00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:00,080 Speaker 4: Never mind all that. 488 00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:02,439 Speaker 1: Crap that Jerry's talking about, the fact that Chuck and 489 00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:03,119 Speaker 1: Bucker down there. 490 00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:05,000 Speaker 4: You know, people always ask me, man, did you. 491 00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:08,560 Speaker 1: Guys all have fun together at the Airbnb in San Francisco? 492 00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:11,080 Speaker 1: I said, yeah, but Chuck and Buck really enjoyed it. 493 00:25:11,080 --> 00:25:13,560 Speaker 1: Because they're going back on the road together a week later. 494 00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:15,960 Speaker 1: That's how much fun they had. They want to recreate 495 00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:18,640 Speaker 1: the whole thing a week later in Arizona, and one 496 00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:21,520 Speaker 1: half of that extravaganza joins us on the radio show 497 00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:23,000 Speaker 1: right now from Peoria. 498 00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:24,920 Speaker 4: Our friend Chuck Palell how are you man? 499 00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:29,600 Speaker 3: Great? I mean, he and I got trampoline. We're just 500 00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:30,960 Speaker 3: having the time of our lives. 501 00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:36,280 Speaker 1: I love it, man, hanging out all night, swapping stories, 502 00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:38,879 Speaker 1: activities in the hotel room, all kinds of cool stuff 503 00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:41,600 Speaker 1: going on. Well, first of all, let's just talk about 504 00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:44,200 Speaker 1: the vibe down there, man. I mean, I'm fired up 505 00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:46,680 Speaker 1: for you know, opening night. Can't wait to see this 506 00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:50,399 Speaker 1: thing going again in person at T Mobile Park. The 507 00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:54,359 Speaker 1: vibes are high, the expectations are sky high. What have 508 00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:57,120 Speaker 1: you kind of noticed about the entire atmosphere down there 509 00:25:57,119 --> 00:25:58,520 Speaker 1: in just the day and a half you've been there 510 00:25:58,560 --> 00:25:58,920 Speaker 1: so far. 511 00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:00,560 Speaker 2: I don't know. 512 00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:03,280 Speaker 3: I don't think that I was reading into this or 513 00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:07,320 Speaker 3: looking to see this. Maybe I was subconsciously. I have 514 00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:11,879 Speaker 3: no idea, but I could sort of sense like a 515 00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:17,879 Speaker 3: change immediately, Like there was this quiet confidence. Everybody's just 516 00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:21,280 Speaker 3: a little bit happier and a little you know a 517 00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:26,359 Speaker 3: little bit. I don't it's stop shy of cockiness, but 518 00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:29,840 Speaker 3: like sure of themselves. I'm sure of what they got. 519 00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:34,720 Speaker 3: It definitely has the feeling of we're no longer chasing anybody. 520 00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:37,760 Speaker 3: We're not chasing the astros down They got to come 521 00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:41,200 Speaker 3: get us. And that to me. I even brought it 522 00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:43,480 Speaker 3: up to Jerry. He didn't really deny it. Jerry's in 523 00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:45,600 Speaker 3: the best mood I've ever seen him in in my 524 00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:48,800 Speaker 3: entire life. You can't wipe the smile off Hollander's face 525 00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:52,160 Speaker 3: right now. So I don't know. Maybe I'm reading into 526 00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:56,680 Speaker 3: it because I think I and we have higher expectations. 527 00:26:57,000 --> 00:26:59,720 Speaker 3: It looks like, for sure a playoff team this year, 528 00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:01,800 Speaker 3: and I don't know if we felt that way going 529 00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:04,399 Speaker 3: into last year. We thought it was a playoff contender, 530 00:27:04,760 --> 00:27:08,360 Speaker 3: but maybe not a sure fire playoff team, and this 531 00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:11,320 Speaker 3: one feels that way. And I think that the vibe 532 00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:12,120 Speaker 3: feels that way. 533 00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:14,120 Speaker 5: Well do you think it helps him? I mean, it 534 00:27:14,119 --> 00:27:16,440 Speaker 5: reminds me of the old Major League line, Lou Brown. 535 00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:20,200 Speaker 5: We're contenders now, you know that doesn't necessarily mean that's 536 00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:23,240 Speaker 5: a great thing, because they're also the hunted instead of 537 00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:25,080 Speaker 5: the hunters like they were last year. 538 00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:28,639 Speaker 3: Well, one of the things that I think that we 539 00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:32,120 Speaker 3: underreport is, I mean, this is still a pretty young 540 00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:36,040 Speaker 3: nucleus even now. I mean, they've had several years where 541 00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:38,920 Speaker 3: we thought that they underachieved, and then last year finally 542 00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:41,920 Speaker 3: they get all the way to the ALCS nearly make 543 00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:44,560 Speaker 3: it to the World Series, and yet you still have 544 00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:48,560 Speaker 3: a nucleus of, you know, four starting pitchers who aren't 545 00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:52,639 Speaker 3: even close to being free agency eligible at this point. 546 00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:56,560 Speaker 3: Julio is still a young young player, cal I think, 547 00:27:56,600 --> 00:27:59,600 Speaker 3: still in his twenties. Maybe he dipped into thirty this offseason. 548 00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:03,960 Speaker 3: But you're talking about guys who are who have had 549 00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:07,040 Speaker 3: some success, you know, two Playoff appearances in the last 550 00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:10,560 Speaker 3: you know, three years, and yet they are just now 551 00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:14,600 Speaker 3: the nucleus of them really entering their prime. So I 552 00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:18,639 Speaker 3: think it's actually a great thing. It does not feel 553 00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:21,920 Speaker 3: to me. Look, I'm not going to predict some runaway 554 00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:27,160 Speaker 3: one hundred and five win season this year, even attack 555 00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:29,960 Speaker 3: catching the ten that Bucky and I give them as 556 00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:33,040 Speaker 3: fame so rightly pointed out before it came on the air. 557 00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:36,600 Speaker 3: So I'm not going to predict some runaway success one 558 00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:39,680 Speaker 3: hundred and five, hundred and ten win season this year. 559 00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:41,400 Speaker 3: But I do think this is going to be a 560 00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:46,760 Speaker 3: team that avoids dragging us through you know, that may 561 00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:50,160 Speaker 3: where they go five and twenty four and then have 562 00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:53,280 Speaker 3: to save themselves in July. I think we're going to 563 00:28:53,320 --> 00:28:57,520 Speaker 3: see a lot steadier product this year and a lot 564 00:28:57,640 --> 00:29:00,760 Speaker 3: more competent product, one that is not going to be 565 00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:04,640 Speaker 3: prone to some of those massive slumps that they've gone 566 00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:07,920 Speaker 3: in they've become infamous for in the last five years. 567 00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:11,240 Speaker 1: Chuck Powell with US Season Peoria, All Week with Bucky 568 00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:15,160 Speaker 1: on the Morning Show, Jerry Depoto, Gabe Speier, Ryan Sloan, 569 00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:18,840 Speaker 1: KATEA Anderson, Mike Cameron, Rick Riz amongst the guests tomorrow 570 00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:21,520 Speaker 1: More to come tomorrow at six am. But Chuck, go 571 00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:24,720 Speaker 1: back to when the season ended in Toronto, and you 572 00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:27,880 Speaker 1: thought about, kind of, man, maybe it's just a couple 573 00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:30,960 Speaker 1: of bounces here or there performance by somebody here or 574 00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:33,200 Speaker 1: there that would have made the difference. Or maybe you 575 00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:36,040 Speaker 1: remember thinking to yourself, God, if the roster would have 576 00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:40,160 Speaker 1: just been constructed this way or constructed that way, they 577 00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:42,040 Speaker 1: may have won that game and they may have made 578 00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:45,320 Speaker 1: the World Series. Whatever you wanted them to do to 579 00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:48,880 Speaker 1: improve on that team that lost in seven to Toronto, 580 00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:51,800 Speaker 1: have they done it over the offseason in your mind? 581 00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:58,240 Speaker 3: Well, I don't think it was some again runaway success offseason. 582 00:29:58,280 --> 00:30:01,840 Speaker 3: I don't think anybody's handing out eight to the off season. 583 00:30:01,920 --> 00:30:04,840 Speaker 3: But considering where we were a year ago, I mean 584 00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:07,080 Speaker 3: I gave them. I literally gave them an f to 585 00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:10,400 Speaker 3: their off season a year ago. I mean, Donovan Solano 586 00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:13,240 Speaker 3: was the new face that they added to the roster 587 00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:17,040 Speaker 3: of a very good team this year, to have Josh 588 00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:21,480 Speaker 3: Naylor in the lineup for a full season, to add 589 00:30:21,560 --> 00:30:25,560 Speaker 3: Brendan Donovan, who, no, doesn't have the power of Geno Suarez, 590 00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:29,600 Speaker 3: but believe me, believe me, the organization had Brendan Donovan 591 00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:34,680 Speaker 3: circled as the priority way above Geno Swarez this offseason 592 00:30:34,920 --> 00:30:37,000 Speaker 3: and they ended up getting him. And they also had 593 00:30:37,080 --> 00:30:40,760 Speaker 3: Jose Ferrer circled at the beginning of the off season 594 00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:43,240 Speaker 3: to add him. They thought he was the perfect fit, 595 00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:47,200 Speaker 3: perfect age, perfect amount of control to add to this team. 596 00:30:47,600 --> 00:30:52,680 Speaker 3: So I think that they did address some of their 597 00:30:52,760 --> 00:30:56,480 Speaker 3: needs this offseason. They certainly had a far better off 598 00:30:56,480 --> 00:30:58,960 Speaker 3: season than they had a year ago, and yet it 599 00:30:59,040 --> 00:31:01,520 Speaker 3: was a team that came within what eight outs seven 600 00:31:01,560 --> 00:31:04,200 Speaker 3: outs of making it to the World Series, And so 601 00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:07,800 Speaker 3: I think they're in much better position right now with that. 602 00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:11,520 Speaker 3: And maybe the difference last year was Brian wu getting 603 00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:14,760 Speaker 3: injured at a really bad time right before the playoffs 604 00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:17,640 Speaker 3: get started. You lose your best starter. Maybe that was 605 00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:22,680 Speaker 3: the difference last October between getting eliminated from the playoffs 606 00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:25,400 Speaker 3: and making it to the World Series, and who knows 607 00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:29,760 Speaker 3: from that point forward what could have happened. So yeah, 608 00:31:29,840 --> 00:31:32,920 Speaker 3: I mean, they're never going to have that. Oh my gosh, 609 00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:36,600 Speaker 3: I can't believe they got all those guys off season. 610 00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:40,000 Speaker 3: They're not going to have a Dodgers offseason a Mets offseason. 611 00:31:40,240 --> 00:31:42,520 Speaker 3: It's just not the way they're going to operate. But 612 00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:45,080 Speaker 3: I can tell you from their point of view, they 613 00:31:45,160 --> 00:31:48,880 Speaker 3: got this offseason exactly what they were looking to get 614 00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:53,600 Speaker 3: this offseason, and if they know what they're doing, then 615 00:31:54,160 --> 00:31:58,680 Speaker 3: it should be a perfect blend for what was potentially 616 00:31:58,720 --> 00:32:00,920 Speaker 3: missing at the end of the year and what could 617 00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:02,600 Speaker 3: make a major difference this year. 618 00:32:02,800 --> 00:32:04,800 Speaker 5: Well, I like Donovan a Lota and you and Bucky 619 00:32:04,840 --> 00:32:07,080 Speaker 5: and I talked talked about him at the on the 620 00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:10,320 Speaker 5: Bart train about two weeks ago before we before we 621 00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:12,360 Speaker 5: picked him up as the as the number one guy 622 00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:14,560 Speaker 5: they were going after. But Chuck for the second year 623 00:32:14,560 --> 00:32:15,960 Speaker 5: in a row, are we going to stick a second 624 00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:16,720 Speaker 5: basement at third? 625 00:32:19,600 --> 00:32:23,520 Speaker 3: Well, he's he's I think he's a bit of a 626 00:32:24,200 --> 00:32:27,440 Speaker 3: I mean, he's a utility guy who since he got 627 00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:31,600 Speaker 3: with the Cardinals was used in that role. He I mean, 628 00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:34,200 Speaker 3: we're going to have him on tomorrow. But we talked 629 00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:37,560 Speaker 3: him about taking over third base and he said, I'm 630 00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:40,120 Speaker 3: a little I'm a little worried about it right now, 631 00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:42,760 Speaker 3: but that's what you work on. That's the stuff that 632 00:32:42,800 --> 00:32:45,840 Speaker 3: you work on. That's which you go under Perry Hill's 633 00:32:45,840 --> 00:32:49,760 Speaker 3: guidance and and you get there. So I'm excited about 634 00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:51,880 Speaker 3: doing it. But he goes, I'm not ready to be 635 00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:55,040 Speaker 3: that everyday third basement, not to the level that I 636 00:32:55,080 --> 00:32:57,680 Speaker 3: want to be. But he was backing up Nolan Aernado 637 00:32:57,800 --> 00:33:00,680 Speaker 3: for goodness sake, and in Saint Louis, I mean, you're not. 638 00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:02,880 Speaker 3: That's one of the best defensive third basement in the 639 00:33:02,920 --> 00:33:05,080 Speaker 3: history of the game.
