Games like this, you know, this late in 66 00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:06,320 Speaker 2: the year, for the division championship and NFL prestige, number 67 00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:07,400 Speaker 2: one overall seeds. 68 00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:08,120 Speaker 3: Things like that. 69 00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:10,640 Speaker 2: Tell me about what you think is happening in that 70 00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:12,799 Speaker 2: locker room right now, just about an hour and ten 71 00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:14,160 Speaker 2: minutes before tonight's game. 72 00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:17,400 Speaker 5: Well, everyone's trying to leave the coaches first of all, 73 00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:19,839 Speaker 5: or I was. I was trying to calm down, get 74 00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:22,200 Speaker 5: in my office. No one bothered me, no one could 75 00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:25,399 Speaker 5: talk to me. Just think about I'm going to call 76 00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:28,440 Speaker 5: the game and things like that. But there is a 77 00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:31,959 Speaker 5: feeling in there and the players this is this is 78 00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:35,440 Speaker 5: a bigger game. You say every game is the same, 79 00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:38,080 Speaker 5: it's not. This is a game. And in that locker 80 00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:42,680 Speaker 5: room right now, they are They're walking around, they're putting 81 00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:45,400 Speaker 5: on their equipment, they're thinking about what they have to do. 82 00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:48,920 Speaker 5: They know how important the football game is to them. 83 00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:51,880 Speaker 5: And you can sense it. If you walked in there 84 00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:55,480 Speaker 5: and just looked around as a visitor, you could sense 85 00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:59,360 Speaker 5: that they I'm not saying tention by the atmosphere, so. 86 00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:02,040 Speaker 4: As your pre game speech different then, or do you 87 00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:05,040 Speaker 4: just kind of let the tension speak for itself. 88 00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:08,680 Speaker 5: You know what, I used to let the tension speak 89 00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:10,960 Speaker 5: for it, Celf Dick, you know, I you know, of 90 00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:14,760 Speaker 5: course you remind him of what's at stake, you know, 91 00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:17,520 Speaker 5: but you don't have to remind them. They know. But 92 00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:19,359 Speaker 5: I mean, I always thought that was part of my 93 00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:21,839 Speaker 5: job to remind him. But there's not a lot to 94 00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:24,400 Speaker 5: say at that point. You said most of it already 95 00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:26,760 Speaker 5: and now it's just a matter of getting them focused. 96 00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:27,640 Speaker 3: Yeah. 97 00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:29,719 Speaker 2: Well, I mean there's a couple of big ones tonight. 98 00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:32,520 Speaker 2: Let's start in the offense for the Seahawks. Charles Cross 99 00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:34,920 Speaker 2: not going to play left tackle. I'm trying to remember 100 00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:38,119 Speaker 2: how many games you coached without Walter Jones at left tackle, 101 00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:41,000 Speaker 2: but it can't be a lot. What do you do 102 00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:43,800 Speaker 2: tonight if you're a Clint Kubiak, Mike McDonald, how does 103 00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:46,400 Speaker 2: it affect your play calling when you don't have your 104 00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:47,240 Speaker 2: left tackle here? 105 00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:51,200 Speaker 5: You know, that's a great question, and I did live 106 00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:55,000 Speaker 5: through that once, not with Seattle, but in Green Bay. 107 00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:58,000 Speaker 5: We played the Giants against Michael Strahan and our right 108 00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:02,599 Speaker 5: tackle with dirt and a guy, a good backup player, 109 00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:05,320 Speaker 5: but it was going to be a disaster. It was 110 00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:07,719 Speaker 5: just not going to work. So we had to double 111 00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:10,479 Speaker 5: him every single time. And it takes stuff away from 112 00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:14,400 Speaker 5: your offense. It does. Now, Mike and and Clint might 113 00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:16,520 Speaker 5: they might look at it differently. They might say, Josh 114 00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:19,400 Speaker 5: comes in and we listen, we're gonna let it rip, 115 00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:23,080 Speaker 5: you know, that's that's the thing. The Mike McDonald says, 116 00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:26,960 Speaker 5: let it rip. They might do that, but it's going 117 00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:31,520 Speaker 5: to be different, you know. But this guy, he's ready 118 00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:34,360 Speaker 5: to play, I think. But there's a reason he's where 119 00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:37,120 Speaker 5: he is in the lineup. And Cross has been very, 120 00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:40,960 Speaker 5: very good for the team. And so you probably start 121 00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:43,840 Speaker 5: out regularly, you start out just calling your game, and 122 00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:45,800 Speaker 5: then all of a sudden you're having somebody watch that 123 00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:49,200 Speaker 5: watch that tell me what's happening over there. And then 124 00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:52,000 Speaker 5: if if there is, if it's not working, then you 125 00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:54,760 Speaker 5: have to make adjustments. You know, maybe chip and double 126 00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:56,640 Speaker 5: and move the tight end over there and things like that. 127 00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:00,000 Speaker 4: Coach tell us, do you think Clint Kubiak kind of 128 00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:03,279 Speaker 4: held back play calling over the last four weeks, knowing 129 00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:07,279 Speaker 4: he had four extremely winnable games sandwiched in between two 130 00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:10,560 Speaker 4: RAMS games. How much do you think he's saved for tonight? 131 00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:15,920 Speaker 5: Diket would surprise me if he saved anything. Honestly, you know, 132 00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:18,520 Speaker 5: I think when you go in, you know, you look 133 00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:20,400 Speaker 5: like I've said it before, you look at every game 134 00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:23,520 Speaker 5: and it's a game you want to win, and it's 135 00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:25,960 Speaker 5: the game you're focused on right now. You're not thinking 136 00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:30,120 Speaker 5: about next week or two weeks from now. And you know, 137 00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:32,800 Speaker 5: but they have started off slow in the last couple 138 00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:35,560 Speaker 5: of ball games. But I don't attribute that to his 139 00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:38,560 Speaker 5: how he looked at how he was going to call 140 00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:40,640 Speaker 5: the game and how he's going to do it. It's 141 00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:42,360 Speaker 5: just the way they did it, and then they made 142 00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:45,240 Speaker 5: adjustments at halftime and it changed. But I would be 143 00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:48,880 Speaker 5: very surprised. In fact, I don't believe that happens. 144 00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:51,640 Speaker 2: Gotcha, Well, Mike congruns with us, and Mike you mentioned 145 00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:53,480 Speaker 2: the slow starts. I want to ask you about that. 146 00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:56,200 Speaker 2: And also red zone touchdown percentage. I mean, I just 147 00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:59,040 Speaker 2: kind of feel like in twenty twenty five, if your 148 00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:01,280 Speaker 2: opponent gets inside the twenty and you hold them to 149 00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:03,960 Speaker 2: a three, that's a win for the defense man. In 150 00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:07,000 Speaker 2: this day and age in football, so red zone touchdowns 151 00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:08,880 Speaker 2: have been kind of few and far between, a little 152 00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:12,200 Speaker 2: bit for this football team lately, anything you're seeing on 153 00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:14,440 Speaker 2: the offensive side of the ball that you would tweak 154 00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:17,520 Speaker 2: a little bit, if anything, to maybe get these guys 155 00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:20,040 Speaker 2: to be a little more productive inside the red zone. Hell, 156 00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:22,120 Speaker 2: they won a game without scoring a touchdown last week 157 00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:22,760 Speaker 2: for got six. 158 00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:26,640 Speaker 5: Yeah I know, but tonight I think they're going to 159 00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:30,200 Speaker 5: need more than that. But I would like to see 160 00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:34,080 Speaker 5: them And this is my philosophy, and maybe it's not 161 00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:37,280 Speaker 5: the way Mike wants to do things, but that you 162 00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:40,000 Speaker 5: get inside the red zone and you got a field 163 00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:42,840 Speaker 5: goal in your pocket. It's there. So wherever you are 164 00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:45,480 Speaker 5: first and ten, now I'm going for the end zone. 165 00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:47,920 Speaker 5: I'm going for the end zone. I'm not going for 166 00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:50,720 Speaker 5: first downs. I don't want first goal to go at 167 00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:53,000 Speaker 5: the nine. I want to score a touchdown, you know, 168 00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:55,320 Speaker 5: from twenty to eighteen whatever, wherever I am in the 169 00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:58,280 Speaker 5: red zone. And so that's what I would do. And 170 00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:00,720 Speaker 5: then so I was the whole I would like to 171 00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:04,080 Speaker 5: see that some chances take them like that. They know 172 00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:06,960 Speaker 5: they got the field goal, you know, so shoot for 173 00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:10,760 Speaker 5: it and tell the team that in the red zone preparation, Hey, 174 00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:12,720 Speaker 5: this is what we're going to do. You're gonna going 175 00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:14,720 Speaker 5: to throw the ball to you. You get open, You're 176 00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:17,320 Speaker 5: going to score a touchdown. This guy you now you're next, 177 00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:18,960 Speaker 5: And just teach it that way. 178 00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:23,480 Speaker 4: How wendy does it have to be before you alter 179 00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:27,440 Speaker 4: a your play calling and b how far you decide 180 00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:29,600 Speaker 4: to let Jason Myers kick field goals? 181 00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:32,800 Speaker 5: You know what, I think it's going to be wendy tonight. 182 00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:35,480 Speaker 5: So that will that will be a factor in the game. 183 00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:38,480 Speaker 5: Just how windy it is. I don't know you guys 184 00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:40,720 Speaker 5: are down there, but it's it's going to be a 185 00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:43,200 Speaker 5: factor in the game. And it does affect your play calling. 186 00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:46,160 Speaker 5: It does affect the type of throw you do. It 187 00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:49,280 Speaker 5: affects your the length you can kick a field goal 188 00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:52,360 Speaker 5: or a punt or whatever. You know. And I've told 189 00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:54,360 Speaker 5: you before I was in a game like that in Chicago, 190 00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:58,080 Speaker 5: and our punters on both teams, good punters, you know, 191 00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:01,720 Speaker 5: kick beautiful spirals up into the two of them came 192 00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:04,560 Speaker 5: back beyond the line of scrimmage. Wow, behind the line 193 00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:07,800 Speaker 5: of scrimmage. He was so windy. It was bad Halloween night, 194 00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:09,920 Speaker 5: and but fortunately we won. 195 00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:14,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, Mike, I just wonder put yourself in Sean mcvay's shoes. 196 00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:17,760 Speaker 2: Not that you're frightened of anything. I mean, that's ridiculous. 197 00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:20,079 Speaker 2: Like nobody on this field tonight is frightened of anything. 198 00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:23,200 Speaker 2: But this was a head coach in Sean McVay that 199 00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:26,480 Speaker 2: beat the Seahawks by two points last time they played, 200 00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:29,840 Speaker 2: and the Hawks threw four interceptions and they were still 201 00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:33,000 Speaker 2: a sixty one yard field goal away from winning the game. 202 00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:35,120 Speaker 2: I mean, that's how close they came to winning that 203 00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:39,400 Speaker 2: game with four picks. If you're Sean McVay, are you thinking, man, 204 00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:41,680 Speaker 2: we got to step up because we can't rely on 205 00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:42,960 Speaker 2: four picks again tonight. 206 00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:47,800 Speaker 5: No, that's exactly what he's thinking, Dave. Honestly, he's he's 207 00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:50,200 Speaker 5: he knows, he knows the Seahawks are a good team. 208 00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:53,920 Speaker 5: It's a huge rival and the idea, you know, everyone says, well, 209 00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:57,400 Speaker 5: the Rams beat the Seahawks all the time. Every game 210 00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:03,160 Speaker 5: in this rivalry is and by itself. But you know, 211 00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:06,840 Speaker 5: he he is, he knows what's at stake, he knows 212 00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:08,920 Speaker 5: what kind of a game it is. He's not afraid. 213 00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:11,800 Speaker 5: He's probably loving it. Knowing him a little bit, he 214 00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:15,840 Speaker 5: is loving it, you know, but you know it's it's 215 00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:17,360 Speaker 5: it's going to be a quite a game tonight. 216 00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:21,840 Speaker 4: What would your conversation with Sam be, knowing that the 217 00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:24,480 Speaker 4: last time you played these guys he threw four picks 218 00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:26,880 Speaker 4: and he's got this millstone around his neck right now 219 00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:29,040 Speaker 4: in the perception he can't win the big one. Would 220 00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:32,239 Speaker 4: you have a special conversation with him going into this one? 221 00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:34,680 Speaker 5: Well, just it probably be very similar to the ones 222 00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:38,000 Speaker 5: I have most in most every game, But I would 223 00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:40,800 Speaker 5: He does not have to be reminded of that or 224 00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:43,720 Speaker 5: knows it's been. It's been, it's been written about, talked 225 00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:47,280 Speaker 5: about a lot, and so you just have to let 226 00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:51,880 Speaker 5: him know, however, you do that, that you believe in him, 227 00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:54,920 Speaker 5: and let's just let it roll. You know, this is 228 00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:58,320 Speaker 5: whatever's happened in the past. You won't even have to 229 00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:01,160 Speaker 5: phrase it. You just let him know, we're with you, 230 00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:05,280 Speaker 5: let's go, you know, and and then let the chips fall. 231 00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:08,840 Speaker 2: It's interesting that Dix use the word millstone. I think 232 00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:12,400 Speaker 2: a lot of people believe that Sam Donald doesn't play 233 00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:14,400 Speaker 2: well in big games, and that's the perception. 234 00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:15,880 Speaker 3: Whether it's right or wrong. 235 00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:18,640 Speaker 2: I think it's a little bit unfair, a little bit overblown, 236 00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:19,880 Speaker 2: but that's the perception. 237 00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:20,560 Speaker 3: And that's fine. 238 00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:22,920 Speaker 2: The public can believe in the media can believe whatever 239 00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:26,600 Speaker 2: they want. Do you believe that Sam Donald hears that 240 00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:30,200 Speaker 2: and that he believes that. Do you think Sam Donald 241 00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:33,080 Speaker 2: looks at himself in the mirror and says, you got 242 00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:35,360 Speaker 2: a problem in big games, man, you got to step 243 00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:35,679 Speaker 2: it up. 244 00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:36,720 Speaker 3: Do you think he thinks that? 245 00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:40,200 Speaker 5: No, I don't think he does. I don't think he does. 246 00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:43,719 Speaker 5: He I think it ticks him off, you know, not 247 00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:46,960 Speaker 5: that people talk about it like that, but that he 248 00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:50,120 Speaker 5: actually listen, I'm better than that, you know, and I'm 249 00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:52,640 Speaker 5: going to show people, you know. It's just it was 250 00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:56,400 Speaker 5: one of those things, you know. And so yeah, the 251 00:11:56,800 --> 00:12:00,840 Speaker 5: three games they always reference were big games. That was 252 00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:04,040 Speaker 5: the difference. They were big games. But the season he's 253 00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:07,400 Speaker 5: had this season, except for that one game, he's been 254 00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:10,200 Speaker 5: pretty darn good. And he's the reason, one of the 255 00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:12,280 Speaker 5: big reasons they are where they are. 256 00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:14,400 Speaker 1: How much do you let him rip tonight? 257 00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:17,079 Speaker 4: How do you how aggressive do you think these play 258 00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:20,480 Speaker 4: callers on both sides are going to be, knowing the stakes, 259 00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:22,560 Speaker 4: the defenses they're going up against. 260 00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:26,720 Speaker 5: In the weather, well, I think the weather's the big 261 00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:30,440 Speaker 5: factor in my opinion, what they're going up against and 262 00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:32,600 Speaker 5: the stakes and all that kind of stuff. You play 263 00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:35,440 Speaker 5: the game to win, and if you're the offensive play 264 00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:39,520 Speaker 5: caller or the offensive coordinator, my job is to score points. 265 00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:42,640 Speaker 5: That's my job and it's not And then we'll let 266 00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:46,439 Speaker 5: somebody defensive guy just stop him, you know, let him 267 00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:49,320 Speaker 5: worry about that. My job is to score points. And 268 00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:52,840 Speaker 5: then you know, let it go. That when you said 269 00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:56,600 Speaker 5: let it rip, I hope I hope. My hope is 270 00:12:56,640 --> 00:13:00,880 Speaker 5: that they whatever that means to let I hope they 271 00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:01,520 Speaker 5: do that tonight. 272 00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:04,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, Well we'll see. I mean, this is week what 273 00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:08,240 Speaker 2: is this week fifteen? Technically right sixteen? Sorry of the 274 00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:11,880 Speaker 2: NFL season sixteen seventeen eighteen, and the Seahawks are still 275 00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:14,120 Speaker 2: not a great running team, and I wonder if they're 276 00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:16,240 Speaker 2: ever going to be. I mean, we now at a 277 00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:18,439 Speaker 2: point in the year, Mike, where we can just figure out, Hey, 278 00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:20,280 Speaker 2: it's the week before Christmas. 279 00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:21,400 Speaker 3: They are who they are. 280 00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:24,240 Speaker 2: Nothing's going to change much between now and the end 281 00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:27,560 Speaker 2: of the year. Or is there room for improvement for 282 00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:29,920 Speaker 2: this team to find a way to start running the 283 00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:30,439 Speaker 2: ball better. 284 00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:34,600 Speaker 5: Well, you know what, Dave, I think they are who 285 00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:38,320 Speaker 5: they are, but they have shown spurts We've seen spurts 286 00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:41,640 Speaker 5: of good plays and good runs and things like that, 287 00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:45,600 Speaker 5: so they are capable, but on a consistent basis, it 288 00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:48,200 Speaker 5: has been something that hasn't worked as well as they 289 00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:52,400 Speaker 5: would like. And I think to think there's going to 290 00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:56,040 Speaker 5: be just a dramatic change somehow in there with three 291 00:13:56,080 --> 00:14:00,400 Speaker 5: games to go after playing, you know, fourteen games. I 292 00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:03,600 Speaker 5: don't think that's going to happen, but they in moments 293 00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:07,240 Speaker 5: and maybe they can gain some momentum there someone pops 294 00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:10,400 Speaker 5: a run off you go, you know, but I think 295 00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:12,720 Speaker 5: it's going to be dramatically different. I think I'm not 296 00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:13,320 Speaker 5: sure about that. 297 00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:15,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, you mentioned popping a run. 298 00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:18,040 Speaker 4: I mean, ken Walker's got the better chance of the 299 00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:20,960 Speaker 4: two to pop a run, but it seems recently like 300 00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:22,920 Speaker 4: Zach Charbonay has got the better chance of getting you 301 00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:26,000 Speaker 4: three or four tough yards. So which style of running 302 00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:27,320 Speaker 4: back do you want to go to tonight? 303 00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:31,360 Speaker 5: More? Well, what I would go to is pick one 304 00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:34,280 Speaker 5: of them, pick one, and and hand him the ball 305 00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:38,680 Speaker 5: and then they know who they want to pick, So 306 00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:42,040 Speaker 5: pick one. Don't play it kind of like they've been 307 00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:44,800 Speaker 5: playing it back and forth, because you're right, sharbon Ay, 308 00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:48,680 Speaker 5: they're different style runners. They're different style runners. And if 309 00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:50,800 Speaker 5: you do make a change because you're not liking the 310 00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:53,400 Speaker 5: style of one of them over the other, Okay, I 311 00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:55,800 Speaker 5: get that, But to say, okay, we're going to give 312 00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:58,480 Speaker 5: you eleven carries and you eleven carries bounce it off, 313 00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:01,280 Speaker 5: you know, I don't think you could say that's worked 314 00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:04,800 Speaker 5: for them, right then, sermons in their different styles. Sabone 315 00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:07,560 Speaker 5: is a pounder and he's going to go straight ahead, 316 00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:10,120 Speaker 5: and he looked he's looked very good at times. But 317 00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:13,560 Speaker 5: last week neither one of them had many yards, neither 318 00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:18,280 Speaker 5: one of them. So but I would I'd pick one 319 00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:20,680 Speaker 5: and then use the other guy on occasion, but not 320 00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:22,360 Speaker 5: kind of how they've been doing it. 321 00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:24,720 Speaker 2: Mike, I don't know how much did DeVante Adams You've 322 00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:26,920 Speaker 2: watched this year? He leads the NFL in touchdown He's 323 00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:31,320 Speaker 2: got fourteen overall, almost eight hundred yards already, one hundred 324 00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:32,600 Speaker 2: and fourteen targets. 325 00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:35,400 Speaker 3: He is a gigantic part of the Rams offense. 326 00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:38,040 Speaker 2: He's not going to play tonight, you know, puking akuas 327 00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:41,520 Speaker 2: there obviously to two at well as a pass catcher, 328 00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:45,320 Speaker 2: Jordan Whittington from Texas as a pass catcher, but go 329 00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:48,960 Speaker 2: back to when you played a high powered offense and 330 00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:53,080 Speaker 2: they were missing their number one wide receiver. How much 331 00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:56,560 Speaker 2: does that really affect them and change things tonight? 332 00:15:56,600 --> 00:15:57,000 Speaker 3: You think? 333 00:15:57,880 --> 00:16:00,160 Speaker 5: I think it changes things a little. I don't. It 334 00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:03,720 Speaker 5: might not change things a lot because Nikou is so good, 335 00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:07,920 Speaker 5: you know, but it does change things for you. You know. 336 00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:11,000 Speaker 5: I love through that too. And and we finally had 337 00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:14,360 Speaker 5: to sign Andre Risen in Green Bay, and when our 338 00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:17,360 Speaker 5: two top receivers got hurt, and it just changed, well 339 00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:21,440 Speaker 5: we had two guys get hurt, not one. So you know, Stafford, 340 00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:26,280 Speaker 5: their passing game is what it is because they have 341 00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:28,920 Speaker 5: great receivers, but because they have Matthew Stafford. So that 342 00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:31,600 Speaker 5: I think is the key in something to watch tonight 343 00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:33,000 Speaker 5: more than anything else. 344 00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:36,480 Speaker 4: Coach, we've been talking about this is the biggest game 345 00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:40,040 Speaker 4: in the regular season at Loumenfield in dot dot dot. 346 00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:42,320 Speaker 4: However many years I think we've taken it, probably back 347 00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:45,320 Speaker 4: to twenty fourteen, so we're talking about eleven years. Do 348 00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:47,480 Speaker 4: you have a regular season game that kind of comes 349 00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:50,920 Speaker 4: to mind as one that had this much hype that 350 00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:54,200 Speaker 4: everybody's eyes around the nation we're focused on. 351 00:16:56,080 --> 00:17:00,880 Speaker 5: Oh gosh, Jack, do you know I I can't. There 352 00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:03,240 Speaker 5: were probably a couple, but I'm old and I can't 353 00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:04,040 Speaker 5: think back that far. 354 00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:06,200 Speaker 4: You coaching a lot of big games. 355 00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:09,160 Speaker 5: But yeah, we had some. But but honestly, the build 356 00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:12,480 Speaker 5: up to this one, and it's a division opponent, and 357 00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:15,760 Speaker 5: it's a natural rivalry, and the record is so good 358 00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:18,480 Speaker 5: and what's at stake could be a first round by 359 00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:20,919 Speaker 5: you know, in the playoffs, and all those types of 360 00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:24,160 Speaker 5: things piled into one game. And then it's a night game, 361 00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:27,359 Speaker 5: Thursday night football, so the whole world will be watching. 362 00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:32,760 Speaker 5: So this one has everything.

And before we talk 431 00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:35,600 Speaker 2: about the games themselves, there still are some people that 432 00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:37,720 Speaker 2: believe that Calen de bor is going to be the 433 00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:40,920 Speaker 2: next coach at Michigan and he's just waiting until Alabama 434 00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:44,520 Speaker 2: season comes to an end. What are you hearing on 435 00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:46,760 Speaker 2: anything involving Michigan and Kylen de Bor? 436 00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:47,080 Speaker 5: Man. 437 00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:50,800 Speaker 7: The guys that I know at Presno State that are 438 00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:53,840 Speaker 7: close to Kaitlin, that were part of his his crew 439 00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:57,240 Speaker 7: that were there, have heard Kalen is happy in Alabama 440 00:20:57,280 --> 00:20:59,600 Speaker 7: and is not leaving, Okay, so you can take him 441 00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:04,479 Speaker 7: out his that's from the guys at Presno. Obviously, Caylin 442 00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:07,359 Speaker 7: has told us that he's gonna stay right where he is. 443 00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:10,040 Speaker 7: But the Michigan job is a special one. No one 444 00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:12,840 Speaker 7: can deny that. So and we'll see what sort of 445 00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:16,280 Speaker 7: acrimony is stirred up. If Oklahoma has their way against 446 00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:19,720 Speaker 7: Alabama and they look Anemak offensively. 447 00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:23,000 Speaker 4: Again, should Jed come out and do what Caylan did 448 00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:25,920 Speaker 4: and just say I'm staying here and regardless of whether 449 00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:27,640 Speaker 4: he stays here or not, he can still come out 450 00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:31,120 Speaker 4: and reassure the fan base. Or should he just play 451 00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:32,440 Speaker 4: it like he's playing it right now? 452 00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:35,960 Speaker 7: You know, I think Jed's just trying to be as 453 00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:39,879 Speaker 7: honest as he can be. Obviously he would be infatuated 454 00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:42,360 Speaker 7: with I say infatuated because I don't know that it's 455 00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:46,320 Speaker 7: a love, but you know, I still wonder if there's 456 00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:48,600 Speaker 7: still a little bit of a stain just because he 457 00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:51,200 Speaker 7: was part of Harbass crew. I mean, they are going 458 00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:54,680 Speaker 7: through with white white gloves now, going through that program 459 00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:58,960 Speaker 7: looking for everything that was wrong, and so I don't 460 00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:02,040 Speaker 7: know that anybody gets out of it on tarnished. My 461 00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:05,520 Speaker 7: guest is Jed's going to be the Washington coach next year, 462 00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:07,520 Speaker 7: and I hope Washington fans are excited about that. 463 00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:09,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, Rick, I don't know if you and Dick have 464 00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:13,240 Speaker 2: heard this, but I was told by somebody that apparently 465 00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:16,639 Speaker 2: Jed Fish played a role in bringing Connor Stallions to 466 00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:20,119 Speaker 2: ann Arbor did you know that? And if that's the case, 467 00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:24,320 Speaker 2: do you think that was maybe the red flag that 468 00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:27,320 Speaker 2: Josh Pate was talking about the other day that might 469 00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:29,080 Speaker 2: preclude him from getting that job. 470 00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:33,720 Speaker 7: Yeah, that could be. I mean, I know that Connor 471 00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:37,879 Speaker 7: had been around Jed when he was at Arizona a 472 00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:40,879 Speaker 7: little bit, and I don't know at what extent. You know, 473 00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:43,840 Speaker 7: Connor was one of those zelot young wanna be coaches 474 00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:46,960 Speaker 7: that was trying to do anything to get the favor 475 00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:48,879 Speaker 7: from the guy who was going to be hiring. So 476 00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:52,680 Speaker 7: I saw all understandable. But yeah, I just know that 477 00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:57,720 Speaker 7: right now there's a absolute investigation going on at Michigan 478 00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:01,480 Speaker 7: because they can't take any more slings and arrows about 479 00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:03,960 Speaker 7: who did what when I think they got to go 480 00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:05,639 Speaker 7: back to being squeaky clean. 481 00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:09,560 Speaker 4: So are they putting the breaks on a coaching search 482 00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:13,399 Speaker 4: or our prospective coaches putting a breaks the breaks on 483 00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:16,920 Speaker 4: a perspective coaching search because of what's going on at Michigan. 484 00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:21,080 Speaker 7: Yeah, I think a little of both. I think the 485 00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:24,399 Speaker 7: Michigan thing's going to spin the wheel again, no question 486 00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:27,040 Speaker 7: about it, because there'll be a lot of movement and 487 00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:29,480 Speaker 7: a lot of coaches, including my son are waiting for 488 00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:32,560 Speaker 7: the movement to happen, right, Wow, to see exactly where 489 00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:38,640 Speaker 7: opportunities are. So yeah, there's no question that. And obviously 490 00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:40,919 Speaker 7: with the first weekend of the college football playoff, no 491 00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:44,040 Speaker 7: one wants to throw any wrinkles in that prior to 492 00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:44,560 Speaker 7: game time. 493 00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:48,639 Speaker 2: Well, we got a game tomorrow Alabama Oklahoma. Oklahoma. I 494 00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:51,200 Speaker 2: saw will be asked to do something that nobody's done 495 00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:54,480 Speaker 2: to Alabama in one hundred and thirty years, and that 496 00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:57,080 Speaker 2: speed him twice in the same season. 497 00:23:57,240 --> 00:23:58,600 Speaker 3: What's your gut on tomorrow? 498 00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:01,600 Speaker 7: I think it's going to be a hell of a game. 499 00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:05,000 Speaker 7: And it's who got their offense right during the break right, 500 00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:08,280 Speaker 7: because neither offense was worth a lick down the stretch, 501 00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:12,040 Speaker 7: whether it was matiir because of their surgery to his hand, 502 00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:16,240 Speaker 7: whether it was Simpson not having enough protection time. Neither 503 00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:18,840 Speaker 7: one of those teams is playing at where that you'd 504 00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:22,159 Speaker 7: expect to, you know, a national championship program to be playing. 505 00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:25,560 Speaker 7: The first game was neither team had one hundred yards rushing, 506 00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:29,080 Speaker 7: So I would say, you know, you know, Ty Simpson 507 00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:31,280 Speaker 7: is not going to run for yards. If John Mattier 508 00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:35,879 Speaker 7: can become a weapon offensively with his legs tomorrow and 509 00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:40,120 Speaker 7: Oklahoma gets over one hundred and thirty yards rushing. I'm 510 00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:41,800 Speaker 7: leaning Oklahoma got it. 511 00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:44,440 Speaker 4: Texas Tech kind of a similar team to Oklahoma, and 512 00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:45,920 Speaker 4: they can get it done on one side of the ball. 513 00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:47,359 Speaker 4: The question is can they get it done on the 514 00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:49,000 Speaker 4: offensive side of the ball. What do you think about 515 00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:50,000 Speaker 4: that Tech Miami game? 516 00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:54,520 Speaker 7: Well, it's not Tech Miami, it's Texas A and M. 517 00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:56,119 Speaker 3: Sorry, I'm sorry, You're. 518 00:24:56,040 --> 00:24:59,439 Speaker 7: Right, yeah, yeah, A and M. It's to me. Everything 519 00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:02,200 Speaker 7: about A is that pass rush. You know, they went 520 00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:04,880 Speaker 7: a stretch during the season with A with I think 521 00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:08,199 Speaker 7: they two allowed two conversions and thirty three attempts on 522 00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:11,480 Speaker 7: third down over a three game deal. And if you 523 00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:14,760 Speaker 7: look at Carson Beck and when Miami's vulnerables when he 524 00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:17,320 Speaker 7: throws the ball away to the other team, which was 525 00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:19,840 Speaker 7: the case in both the Louisville and the SMU games, 526 00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:22,119 Speaker 7: and it was because there was a pass rush. So 527 00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:26,200 Speaker 7: if Casius Howell and company can get after Carson Beck, 528 00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:30,000 Speaker 7: and remember it's in front of the A and M faithful, 529 00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:33,280 Speaker 7: which are the twelfth Man, as the Seattle understands the 530 00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:36,439 Speaker 7: twelfth Man, and you get and you make it difficult 531 00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:40,240 Speaker 7: for that quarterback to set his feet and you make 532 00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:43,200 Speaker 7: it difficult for those tackles to get off the snapcount. 533 00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:45,560 Speaker 7: Then it becomes a kind of a one sided thing. 534 00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:47,160 Speaker 7: So I'm going to lean aggies in that game. 535 00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:47,760 Speaker 3: Gotcha? 536 00:25:47,800 --> 00:25:51,880 Speaker 2: Well, Rick, James Madison going to Eugene on Saturday. I'm 537 00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:55,199 Speaker 2: telling you, if James Madison can win this game, I 538 00:25:55,240 --> 00:25:57,560 Speaker 2: will be professional on social media. 539 00:25:57,840 --> 00:25:59,840 Speaker 3: I will not rub it in whatsoever. 540 00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:04,040 Speaker 2: And also I'm lying one hundred I will laugh my 541 00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:08,400 Speaker 2: balls off James Madison to Oregon and win this. Can 542 00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:11,800 Speaker 2: you see any can you paint any picture for me 543 00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:14,680 Speaker 2: at all where James Madison wins this game. 544 00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:19,040 Speaker 7: Well, listen, they got a dual threat quarterback. This Alonza 545 00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:22,120 Speaker 7: Barnett is a you know, rush for close to six 546 00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:25,280 Speaker 7: hundred yards, so they got that going for him. But 547 00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:28,000 Speaker 7: to me, both these games that are featuring group of 548 00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:31,080 Speaker 7: five opponents you know, trying to you know, be the Cinderella, 549 00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:34,680 Speaker 7: have to have great performances from their dual threat quarterback, 550 00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:38,000 Speaker 7: whether it's Barnett or Jake Bretzloff. In the Tulane Ole 551 00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:40,239 Speaker 7: Miss game, they're gonna have to be you know, one 552 00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:42,600 Speaker 7: hundred yard rushers and they're gonna have to go for 553 00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:45,600 Speaker 7: it on four down a few times and steal possessions. 554 00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:47,720 Speaker 7: I think if you got to look for somebody to 555 00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:51,159 Speaker 7: get somewhere thirty eight forty minutes of possession time and 556 00:26:51,359 --> 00:26:54,919 Speaker 7: just play keep away and get the home team really 557 00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:57,800 Speaker 7: impatient and then get a couple turnovers, that's the way 558 00:26:57,840 --> 00:27:00,240 Speaker 7: this is going to happen. I think it's more likely 559 00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:03,200 Speaker 7: in the Tulan game than the James Madison game. But 560 00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:06,439 Speaker 7: if it comes to pass, I will think of you, Softy. 561 00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:08,920 Speaker 3: I love it, thank you, thank you, Rick. 562 00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:11,879 Speaker 4: How many teams do you think legitimately can win the 563 00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:14,800 Speaker 4: National Championship without crazy things happening? 564 00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:19,639 Speaker 7: I think seven. I think seven teams can win it. Yeah, 565 00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:25,600 Speaker 7: I think the four teams that are we're talking about, 566 00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:28,399 Speaker 7: you know, power versus power in this first deal, and 567 00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:33,080 Speaker 7: then I like at least three, and you know what, 568 00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:38,159 Speaker 7: I like at least three of the four teams. You know, 569 00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:40,160 Speaker 7: I'm gonna go with high as eight. I think eight 570 00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:45,199 Speaker 7: can do it, yeah, because especially the one that I 571 00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:47,960 Speaker 7: had out was Oklahoma. But the more I think about it, 572 00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:50,800 Speaker 7: if Matier all of a sudden gets back to form 573 00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:53,480 Speaker 7: like he played in the early portion, then there could 574 00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:56,920 Speaker 7: be dangerous as well, because that defense is national championship caliber. 575 00:27:57,200 --> 00:27:59,560 Speaker 2: Well, let's do this, all right, I'm gonna make you 576 00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:02,200 Speaker 2: a deal. You're seven and nine on the air so far, 577 00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:04,119 Speaker 2: because you lost the Army game last week. 578 00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:06,840 Speaker 3: I'm gonna make you a go ahead. 579 00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:08,720 Speaker 7: Now, how did I lose that? I took Army and 580 00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:10,040 Speaker 7: they got six and a half? 581 00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:11,199 Speaker 2: Uh? 582 00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:13,800 Speaker 3: You know what, Actually, you're right my fault.
