1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:01,640
Speaker 1: There we go.

2
00:00:01,960 --> 00:00:04,840
Speaker 2: Apparently Sam Darnold is looking to bounce back from an

3
00:00:04,840 --> 00:00:07,680
Speaker 2: oblique injury. What do you say we get the one

4
00:00:07,760 --> 00:00:10,600
Speaker 2: guy on the air that I guarantee you knows what

5
00:00:10,640 --> 00:00:13,320
Speaker 2: it's like to have an oblique injury and can explain

6
00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:15,840
Speaker 2: what it's like to have an oblique injury as a quarterback.

7
00:00:16,040 --> 00:00:18,800
Speaker 2: Our friend Hugh Millon joining us right now in a pinch.

8
00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:21,440
Speaker 2: Wanted to call you up, Hugh, because we need information

9
00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:25,720
Speaker 2: and we need it fast. Sam Donald oblique injury, questionable

10
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:27,800
Speaker 2: for the game on Saturday. He said he felt a

11
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:31,040
Speaker 2: little something today at practice. Didn't want to push it,

12
00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:33,240
Speaker 2: but he did say the odds of him not playing

13
00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:36,120
Speaker 2: in the game are close to zero on Saturday. So

14
00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:39,159
Speaker 2: you tell me how concerned you are about this latest

15
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:40,360
Speaker 2: news coming out of the vMac.

16
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:43,680
Speaker 3: Well, not too much from a probability standpoint, but the

17
00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:47,000
Speaker 3: degree that we to which we should be concerned about

18
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:50,559
Speaker 3: any unwanted event is the product of two factors, the

19
00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:54,400
Speaker 3: probability times of magnitude. I can tell you that he's

20
00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:59,000
Speaker 3: probably fine, But if he's not fine, and you're looking

21
00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:02,160
Speaker 3: at an indifferent period with Drew Locke, that would seemingly

22
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:05,959
Speaker 3: be a large magnitude. I I I'm sure he's gonna

23
00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:11,200
Speaker 3: be fine. You're talking about a muscle that has uh.

24
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:14,280
Speaker 3: You know, there's a large area there, large surface areas

25
00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:18,720
Speaker 3: away from the joints. You have predictable pain generators that

26
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:23,000
Speaker 3: that that to me is ripe for an injection lytacane

27
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:26,080
Speaker 3: or marcane or whatever it is that they use to

28
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:28,959
Speaker 3: numb that. I'm sure he'll get a numb and and

29
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 3: he'll be good to go. That's the vast probability. But

30
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:34,360
Speaker 3: I can't say that with one hundred sense certainty. There

31
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:38,119
Speaker 3: may be a tweak there that just prevents him from going.

32
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:40,440
Speaker 3: But I think we're fine.

33
00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:43,040
Speaker 4: And when you think about you know, you stick the

34
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:46,000
Speaker 4: ldacane as well, and you've got the the emotion of

35
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:48,280
Speaker 4: the day, right, you've got your own endorphins that are

36
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:50,160
Speaker 4: flowing through your body that are not flowing through your

37
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:51,880
Speaker 4: body on a Thursday afternoon.

38
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:56,560
Speaker 3: Right, unquestionably, Yeah, you can fight through a lot in

39
00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:58,960
Speaker 3: that regard that that that should be known as well, dick.

40
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:01,560
Speaker 3: And so I think you're fine. You know, the left side,

41
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:03,960
Speaker 3: he's the right handed quarterback. Obviously, you know it's a

42
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:09,240
Speaker 3: rotational uh exercise, and and and there's a kinetic chain

43
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 3: to the revolution. Usually you want you know you're going

44
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:14,640
Speaker 3: to have. It's like anybody who swing a golf club

45
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:18,200
Speaker 3: can kind of relate to what's going on here. I mean,

46
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:21,519
Speaker 3: you got your back swing that that is a strain

47
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:25,720
Speaker 3: on your left side, and then as you swing your

48
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 3: golf club and your left side is going to be

49
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:31,760
Speaker 3: part of the deceleration. But if if there was going

50
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:34,480
Speaker 3: to be a yank and a real stretch, it would

51
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:37,080
Speaker 3: be off the right side at the end the fall

52
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:39,600
Speaker 3: through after the ball is gone. But but I think

53
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:42,560
Speaker 3: either way, you know, I'm sitting there and saying, well,

54
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:45,880
Speaker 3: what I would rather play with a left strained oblique

55
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 3: or right strained oblique depends on where it is what

56
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 3: from from a left standpoint, any discomfort that he has

57
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:56,880
Speaker 3: he's going to feel before the ball goes you'd say, well,

58
00:02:56,880 --> 00:03:01,760
Speaker 3: that's we'd rather have it be uncomfortable after the ball goes. No,

59
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:05,320
Speaker 3: not necessarily, because your mind, if it knows it's going

60
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:08,560
Speaker 3: to feel discomfort, that can jack you up. It's like

61
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:10,840
Speaker 3: a Hitchcock movie, you know, like he never wanted to

62
00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:13,480
Speaker 3: show the villain's face because he says, well, there the

63
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:17,600
Speaker 3: fear of the unknown, and the and the and the mind.

64
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 3: The theater of the mind is stronger. Well, if if

65
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:24,680
Speaker 3: you have a surge after you've let the ball go,

66
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:27,519
Speaker 3: well your I promise you your brain knows that you're

67
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:30,080
Speaker 3: gonna feel that after the ball's gone, and then all

68
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:32,840
Speaker 3: of a sudden it causes it can cause your mechanics

69
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:35,840
Speaker 3: to to uh, to get gummed up. And so I

70
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:38,520
Speaker 3: would say he's he's more likely to feel it from

71
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:42,000
Speaker 3: the left side as he stretches, and there's a there's

72
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 3: kind of what's called the X factor in golf, is

73
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:46,600
Speaker 3: you know, the separation between the hip rotation and the

74
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:50,520
Speaker 3: and the Sohulder rotation. He's more likely to feel it

75
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:53,520
Speaker 3: at the onset of the passing movement. And so I

76
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,000
Speaker 3: I really think he's gonna be fine. But you know

77
00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:58,920
Speaker 3: what if he has a setback, you know there's a

78
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 3: point where he can't play with it.

79
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:02,880
Speaker 2: Sure, right, Well, first of all, this is why we

80
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:05,080
Speaker 2: wanted you on because nobody could deliver this the way

81
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:05,360
Speaker 2: you can.

82
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 5: First of all, just excellent, it's all garbage. But well

83
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 5: you know what, Hey, come on, man, theater the mine,

84
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 5: you come on. It's sounding.

85
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:18,000
Speaker 2: People are believing this stuff right, let's keep let's keep

86
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:20,960
Speaker 2: it going here. But the first thing I thought of

87
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:23,520
Speaker 2: was what you just said left side versus right side.

88
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:27,400
Speaker 2: And then number two, the fact that Sam actually addressed

89
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 2: the media after practice today made me feel like, Hugh,

90
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:34,160
Speaker 2: this may not be that big a deal. I don't

91
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:36,520
Speaker 2: know if this is a real problem for him. I

92
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:39,039
Speaker 2: don't know if we're hearing from him this afternoon.

93
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:41,400
Speaker 3: Well, we don't know the personalities of these guys in

94
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:44,600
Speaker 3: these circumstances we're learning about Sam Darnold's personality. I think

95
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:48,039
Speaker 3: there are some quarterbacks if they truly thought they're they're

96
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:51,200
Speaker 3: ninety five percent to go, they would just say, oh,

97
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:54,279
Speaker 3: I'm playing. Nobody's preventing me from playing right. You know,

98
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 3: the idea that he said there's next to no chance.

99
00:04:57,279 --> 00:05:01,480
Speaker 3: You know, maybe in his mind he's eighty percent, But but

100
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:05,080
Speaker 3: that's just a massive supposition by me an inference that

101
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:07,840
Speaker 3: that it's probably unwornted. You know, we just stick to

102
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:10,960
Speaker 3: the facts. The facts are that he said that it's

103
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:13,680
Speaker 3: it's close to zero. I believe that to be the case.

104
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:18,640
Speaker 3: I think, yes, adrenaline, there's injections. I think he's gonna

105
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:23,359
Speaker 3: be fine, But you know, today Today was the equivalent

106
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:26,840
Speaker 3: for them of a Friday practice, right, And so that

107
00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:30,120
Speaker 3: that that you're talking about red zone, well that it

108
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:31,880
Speaker 3: would have been nice to hit for him to have

109
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:34,400
Speaker 3: had red zone reps today because that's where they've been struggling.

110
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:38,240
Speaker 3: Short yards goal line. No big deal, maybe a little

111
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:40,520
Speaker 3: bit of two minute. I mean, in an ideal world

112
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 3: you're starting, if you know there's talked about gamesmanship, you're

113
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:49,040
Speaker 3: not going to have Drew Locke take one damn rep

114
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:53,919
Speaker 3: for the purposes of gamesmanship that he wouldn't otherwise have taken.

115
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:54,360
Speaker 5: Whatever.

116
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:56,800
Speaker 3: The you know, some guys it's like, hey, the backups

117
00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:59,719
Speaker 3: don't get anything. Maybe the others maybe get two or

118
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:02,400
Speaker 3: three or five reps whatever, but you're not gonna give

119
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:07,200
Speaker 3: You're not gonna take one rep from Sam Donald to

120
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:11,200
Speaker 3: fulfill some objective of gamesmanship to you know, counterbalance the

121
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:13,599
Speaker 3: Fred Warner and all that stuff. No, this is this

122
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:17,679
Speaker 3: is legit enough that he missed a portion of Friday

123
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:21,200
Speaker 3: practice that he would have otherwise made. And I get it,

124
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:23,719
Speaker 3: it's Thursday, but for them, since they're playing on Saturday,

125
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:26,599
Speaker 3: this is a Friday practice. And so yeah, it's it's

126
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:30,680
Speaker 3: something less than ideal, probably not gonna be a factor

127
00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:31,120
Speaker 3: in the game.

128
00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:32,560
Speaker 6: Well, real quick for you, let's go, Hugh.

129
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:34,120
Speaker 4: I want to follow up on something you alluded to

130
00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:35,960
Speaker 4: just a moment ago, and that is the fact that

131
00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:38,960
Speaker 4: we're hoping to play two more games here after this game.

132
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:41,719
Speaker 4: And so how nervous should we be that that a

133
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:44,640
Speaker 4: ninety percent Donald could turn into a seventy percent Donald

134
00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:46,480
Speaker 4: And if you win the NFC Championship game, could turn

135
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:49,080
Speaker 4: into a fifty percent Donald in the Super Bowl.

136
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:50,640
Speaker 6: And can a hit aggravate this?

137
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:53,600
Speaker 4: Or is more this is more of a throw potentially

138
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:55,520
Speaker 4: aggravating I would say his.

139
00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:56,880
Speaker 1: Throw or abrupt movement.

140
00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:58,760
Speaker 3: I mean it could be a scramble. You know, they

141
00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:03,680
Speaker 3: like to have him boot booting left, you know where

142
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:05,599
Speaker 3: you fake this the running play to the right, and

143
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:08,599
Speaker 3: then and then he's got to do, you know, contort

144
00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:13,200
Speaker 3: himself as he's running to the left. Uh, you know,

145
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:16,680
Speaker 3: you may see those those type of rotational they back

146
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:21,040
Speaker 3: off of that the boot left might uh you know, diminish,

147
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:23,800
Speaker 3: in which case the end from that side can crash

148
00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:26,080
Speaker 3: down on the run. I mean there's some layers to this,

149
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:31,360
Speaker 3: but specifically, could it be exacerbated to the point where

150
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 3: it becomes a problem for next weekend. Yeah, yeah, I

151
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:38,120
Speaker 3: could Yeah, I could be and and you know, maybe

152
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:40,520
Speaker 3: misses all of practice. So so there's a lot of

153
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:45,200
Speaker 3: things on the table that we don't like. They're improbable.

154
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:48,000
Speaker 3: I think they're far less than fifty percent chance of happening.

155
00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:51,120
Speaker 3: But as I alluded to it the onset of my discussion,

156
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:54,800
Speaker 3: you know, you know, if it were to happen, the

157
00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:59,080
Speaker 3: magnitude can approach very significant levels. If you don't have

158
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:01,520
Speaker 3: your starting quarterback of the NFC Championship.

159
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:03,480
Speaker 2: Game, well, there's only one person that the Seahawks need

160
00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:06,040
Speaker 2: to make a phone call too, and that person's mister Miagi.

161
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:10,920
Speaker 2: Go get Pat Marieda down there they show. Okay, get

162
00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:13,520
Speaker 2: them all wound up and get them all worked one.

163
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:16,880
Speaker 2: All right, man, great, and we'll talk tomorrow. Okay, you're

164
00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:19,160
Speaker 2: miling with us again. The big news, Uh you know,

165
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:20,280
Speaker 2: I mean, look, I mean this is the time of

166
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:21,960
Speaker 2: the year where every little thing is just going to

167
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:25,240
Speaker 2: be magnified beyond belief, right, I mean, Sam Donald's got

168
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:27,120
Speaker 2: an oblique injury and the text threads them al with

169
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:28,920
Speaker 2: some guys are blowing up. What the hell's going on?

170
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:31,520
Speaker 2: Your mom's calling you saying we're done. She says, we're done.

171
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:34,959
Speaker 2: Donald's not playing, she declared. She declared on text that

172
00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:36,920
Speaker 2: Donald's not playing. It's a good thing your mom doesn't

173
00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:38,880
Speaker 2: have a Twitter account, by the way, all right, or

174
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:42,800
Speaker 2: even a radio show, just flipping everybody out. But I mean,

175
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:45,920
Speaker 2: this is the silly season. This is the paralysis by analysis.

176
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:48,600
Speaker 2: What I'm talking about. We just got done talking about

177
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:51,360
Speaker 2: this yesterday on the radio show. The difference between what

178
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:53,960
Speaker 2: we just went through with the Mariners and the baseball playoffs,

179
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:55,960
Speaker 2: what we're going through right now. Can you imagine if

180
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:58,480
Speaker 2: we had to wait a week between every Mariner playoff game,

181
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:02,880
Speaker 2: how just completely maniacal we would be going. I mean,

182
00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:05,560
Speaker 2: it would be unbelievable, just breaking down everything to the

183
00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:07,959
Speaker 2: end freaking degree. I mean, really, all we're doing right

184
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:10,560
Speaker 2: now is we're just looking at injury updates, and you know,

185
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:12,520
Speaker 2: they added a royal to the injury report. He's not

186
00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:14,720
Speaker 2: gonna play. Kyle Shanahan came out today and said Fred

187
00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:17,120
Speaker 2: Warner's not gonna play in the game on Saturday.

188
00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:17,840
Speaker 5: So forget that.

189
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:19,800
Speaker 2: Idea may be available if they win and they go

190
00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:23,360
Speaker 2: to the NFC Championship, But I'm ready I'm ready for Saturday.

191
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:25,840
Speaker 2: We are less than fifty hours away, and I am

192
00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:27,920
Speaker 2: ready for this freaking thing to go and get this

193
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:28,760
Speaker 2: thing kicked off.

194
00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:30,400
Speaker 5: Because it's done. It's done.

195
00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:33,679
Speaker 2: There's nothing more to be said. I mean, dude, Like,

196
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:36,160
Speaker 2: we just played these guys, right, Like, that's the thing.

197
00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:37,839
Speaker 4: If we hadn't played them for a month and a

198
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:39,360
Speaker 4: half and we have a long story, we have a

199
00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:42,480
Speaker 4: lot more speculation. How's this matchup gonna work? With this matchup,

200
00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:44,280
Speaker 4: It's like, no, we just saw this movie.

201
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:45,120
Speaker 5: We just saw it.

202
00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:47,920
Speaker 2: I'm literally Dick and Jackson using my notes from that

203
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:52,520
Speaker 2: Monday after the game. Nothing, nothing's changed. I still have

204
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:54,480
Speaker 2: him right here in front of my face. All right,

207
00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:03,880
Speaker 2: Sam Darnold, all that and more. Mike Holmgren's gonna hop

208

Speaker 2: at five pm pregame four thirty from Boston right here

220
00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:43,560
Speaker 2: on ninety three three KJRFM. But speaking of Mike Homgren,

221
00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:45,200
Speaker 2: a guy that knows what it's like to work with

222
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:49,800
Speaker 2: and for the coach now with the NFL Network, obviously

223
00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:52,360
Speaker 2: a guy that coached the forty nine ers back in

224
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:55,320
Speaker 2: the day, so I'm assuming he's pulling for the Niners

225
00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:58,840
Speaker 2: on Saturday. Steve Merucchi from the NFL Network charges right

226
00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:00,520
Speaker 2: now on the radio show Coach, how are you?

227
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:04,960
Speaker 8: I'm doing good, sofie. But listen. So you got Mike Holmgren,

228
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:07,760
Speaker 8: who coached for both the Niners and the Seahawks, and

229
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:11,640
Speaker 8: you ask him who he's pulling for. All right, make

230
00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:13,200
Speaker 8: sure you say a load to Mike for me. I

231
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:15,080
Speaker 8: saw him at his induction here into the Hall of

232
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:17,040
Speaker 8: Fame in the Bay Area here not too long ago.

233
00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:21,160
Speaker 8: But anyway, Yes, what a weekend. What a season? I mean,

234
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:24,160
Speaker 8: it's it's I don't remember. I'm old, and I don't

235
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:26,480
Speaker 8: remember a season quite like this, with all the close

236
00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:30,000
Speaker 8: games and nail biers and uh, you know, some of

237
00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:32,160
Speaker 8: the great teams that you thought might be in playoff

238
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:35,080
Speaker 8: didn't even make it, and uh, and here we are

239
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:38,080
Speaker 8: and every game seems pretty much every game seems to

240
00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:41,319
Speaker 8: be a barn burner, and it's been fantastic. And we

241
00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:43,679
Speaker 8: got another one coming up in front of the twelves

242
00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:44,800
Speaker 8: here on Saturday.

243
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:46,640
Speaker 2: Well, no doubt, and we will tell Mike that you

244
00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:48,280
Speaker 2: sat alone for sure. And by the way, Mooch I

245
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:50,280
Speaker 2: guarantee you who he's rooting for, and that's the Seahawks

246
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:51,920
Speaker 2: because he lives and works in Seattle.

247
00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:56,360
Speaker 5: Okay, so absolutely pulling for no doubt.

248
00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:59,800
Speaker 2: But you you just mentioned kind of the parody, right.

249
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:03,520
Speaker 2: We've been talking about that all year long, and I'm

250
00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:06,640
Speaker 2: just wondering if there's a little more room for maybe

251
00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:09,240
Speaker 2: a little more parody in the NFL playoffs, maybe a

252
00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:13,240
Speaker 2: few more upsets and some lower seeded teams get in

253
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:15,520
Speaker 2: to the Super Bowl, or as you sit right now,

254
00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:18,480
Speaker 2: do you feel like, hey man, this is Denver's thing

255
00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:21,000
Speaker 2: to lose and Seattle's thing to lose in the NFC.

256
00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:25,760
Speaker 8: Oh, I don't. And you're exactly right. The parody that

257
00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:29,240
Speaker 8: the NFL has created, and it's not an overnight thing.

258
00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:31,480
Speaker 8: I mean, it's the way we draft and the way

259
00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:35,480
Speaker 8: we are allowed to sign free agents, and the scheduling

260
00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:40,480
Speaker 8: now with you know, with with seventeen games, you know,

261
00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:43,000
Speaker 8: those three extra games, or if your last place in

262
00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:46,040
Speaker 8: your division, if you add three other games outside of those,

263
00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:48,439
Speaker 8: you know, those divisions that you all have to play

264
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:52,480
Speaker 8: against last place teams, your schedule is favorable compared to

265
00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:55,680
Speaker 8: the first place team. And so I mean, the NFL

266
00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:58,960
Speaker 8: works hard to keep all the cities alive and well

267
00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:01,079
Speaker 8: for as long as part of the ball and they

268
00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:04,440
Speaker 8: really accomplished that. And there are some teams now that

269
00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:07,680
Speaker 8: we all expected. We all expected the Chiefs to be

270
00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:10,520
Speaker 8: in the playoffs, didn't we before the season. We all

271
00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:14,360
Speaker 8: expected the fifteen win bet to be in the playoffs.

272
00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:17,120
Speaker 8: They were to the championship game in the NFC last year,

273
00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:20,400
Speaker 8: and healthy Joe burrowall what I've been here and you

274
00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:22,600
Speaker 8: know and all while acton. I mean, there are so

275
00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:25,839
Speaker 8: many good teams that didn't even get in well, because

276
00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:29,640
Speaker 8: there's other good team. That's why when you have parody

277
00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:32,560
Speaker 8: and you have sixteen or eighteen teams that are capable

278
00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:35,120
Speaker 8: of making the playoffs, that's an awesome thing for all

279
00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:36,960
Speaker 8: these cities for excitement purposes.

280
00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:40,120
Speaker 4: Well, coach, we appreciate you joining us and our hearts

281
00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:42,079
Speaker 4: kind of skipped the beat a couple of hours ago,

282
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:45,720
Speaker 4: and we found out that Sam Darnold tweaked his oblique

283
00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:49,760
Speaker 4: throwing against Aaron practice. It sounds like he's gonna be fine.

284
00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:52,680
Speaker 4: He thinks he's gonna be fine. But from a coaching standpoint,

285
00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:55,559
Speaker 4: talk about how you'd handle preparation for a big playoff

286
00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:57,680
Speaker 4: game when your quarterback forty eight hours for the game

287
00:13:57,679 --> 00:14:00,080
Speaker 4: tells you, ah, I'm a little bit hurt. So how

288
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:02,120
Speaker 4: do you how do you go about preparation and getting

289
00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:02,760
Speaker 4: your team ready?

290
00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:05,560
Speaker 8: Yeah? I just, I just I was. I just did

291
00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:09,280
Speaker 8: a radio show with Matt doug Russo, right, and and

292
00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:13,240
Speaker 8: the as I was waiting, I heard on the news

293
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:16,360
Speaker 8: that he pulled an oblique and he's fifty to fifty

294
00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:19,360
Speaker 8: to play in this game, And I what what? And

295
00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:22,120
Speaker 8: so I don't I don't even know what an obleaque

296
00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:24,520
Speaker 8: is and I and I and I don't know if

297
00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:27,640
Speaker 8: you give him some massage or rub it down or

298
00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:30,640
Speaker 8: whatever it takes, but that can't happen. And so and

299
00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:34,280
Speaker 8: it's just strange. And they're playing against the Seahawks. They're

300
00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:37,360
Speaker 8: playing against the team that are so darned banged up

301
00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:40,320
Speaker 8: yet still have found a way to win a lot

302
00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:43,120
Speaker 8: of games in this National Football League. The Niners Courts

303
00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:46,120
Speaker 8: lost Kittle right in the in the last game, and

304
00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:48,840
Speaker 8: and they've been banged up all season long. But when

305
00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:52,440
Speaker 8: you lose a quarterback, that's a whole different deal. They

306
00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:54,400
Speaker 8: can't lose them. Sam's got to figure out how to

307
00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:55,200
Speaker 8: play and play well.

308
00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:58,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, no doubt. Steve Marryuchi, NFL Network Analyst. NFL

00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:02,160
Speaker 2: Game Day Morning airs Saturday at nine am. Sunday at

310
00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:05,040
Speaker 2: eight am on the NFL Network, by the way, so

311
00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:08,520
Speaker 2: check them out on the on the tube over the weekend.

312
00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:10,800
Speaker 2: But Steve, I guess I'm just trying to think about

313
00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:13,840
Speaker 2: this game in terms of the Week eighteen contest. And

314
00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:15,640
Speaker 2: you know, if that was a game where you know,

315
00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:17,960
Speaker 2: one quarterback through four picks and a couple guys had

316
00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:21,320
Speaker 2: some you know, fumbles, wacky stuff whatever. I could see

317
00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:24,480
Speaker 2: maybe throwing it out, But that was such a dominant performance,

318
00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:27,240
Speaker 2: coach by the Hawks. And week eighteen they had the

319
00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:30,200
Speaker 2: ball for thirty eight minutes, for God's sake, Steve in

320
00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:32,560
Speaker 2: that game. And now there's no Kittle by the way,

321
00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:36,560
Speaker 2: We'll see if Pierce All plays. But why should things

322
00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:39,400
Speaker 2: be different than they were in Week eighteen when it

323
00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:43,280
Speaker 2: was such a dominant physical performance by the Seahawks.

324
00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:46,800
Speaker 8: It sure was. And to hold the forty nine ers,

325
00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:50,040
Speaker 8: who had over the last three games averaged over forty

326
00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:54,359
Speaker 8: points a game and hold him to three is incredible.

327
00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:59,440
Speaker 8: And daddle Fiacht have a pretty salty defense. And then

328
00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:03,120
Speaker 8: when they start running the football with Kenth Walker and

329
00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:06,000
Speaker 8: the boys than Charbone, they they're a heck of a team.

330
00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:09,720
Speaker 8: And and so coach McDonald has done a nice job.

331
00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:12,680
Speaker 8: They've come a long way. They've gotten better since the

332
00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:14,760
Speaker 8: beginning of the season when they lost to the San

333
00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:17,240
Speaker 8: Francisco forty nine ers at home. I mean that was

334
00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:20,560
Speaker 8: Sam Donald's first game, right playing with a new bunch

335
00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:24,600
Speaker 8: of guys, and and they're starting to get the kinks out,

336
00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:27,160
Speaker 8: So you know, they're just a better team right now.

337
00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:33,200
Speaker 8: With Seattle and understandably the number one seed. It's gonna

338
00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:35,080
Speaker 8: be it's gonna be a heck of a game. Throw

339
00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:37,440
Speaker 8: out the records because it's a rival game. We all

340
00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:40,480
Speaker 8: know that, right, and it's going to come down to

341
00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:42,520
Speaker 8: who probably who can run the ball the best and

342
00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:44,440
Speaker 8: make a couple of big plays in the passing game.

343
00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:48,360
Speaker 8: This brock Curty kid has not lost in Seattle. He's

344
00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:50,000
Speaker 8: four and zero up there, all right. I just hate

345
00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:53,160
Speaker 8: to tell you that, but but brock Curty, mister irrelevant

346
00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:54,960
Speaker 8: is really playing well.

347
00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:55,280
Speaker 1: Now.

348
00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:58,080
Speaker 8: You guys held them down. Seahawks held them down in

349
00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:02,320
Speaker 8: that last game Levi Stadium. But uh, you know, even

350
00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:04,800
Speaker 8: without George Kittle with that was a huge loss because

351
00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:07,520
Speaker 8: Kittle is not just a good receiving tight end and

352
00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:10,280
Speaker 8: a good blocking tight end. He's he's the He's the

353
00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:13,479
Speaker 8: heartbeat of that football team and he's the he's their pulse.

354
00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:16,080
Speaker 8: He's the chemistry guy that that keeps it light and

355
00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:19,080
Speaker 8: keeps it tough and keeps it everything. He's he's my

356
00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:22,520
Speaker 8: favorite player in the league, I believe, and and so.

357
00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:25,479
Speaker 8: But they got this kid named Jake Tungus who's going

358
00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:28,280
Speaker 8: to play some tight end and he's from cal and

359
00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:31,080
Speaker 8: he's from my he's been sure right here, right here,

360
00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:34,399
Speaker 8: North Los Gatos, where I live. And it's quite a

361
00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:35,919
Speaker 8: story and he's going to have to make up some

362
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:38,000
Speaker 8: of that black. But it's gonna be a heck of

363
00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:38,320
Speaker 8: a game.

364
00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:41,399
Speaker 4: So from a psychological standpoint, how do you try to

365
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:44,720
Speaker 4: get your team to believe that the opponent is dangerous

366
00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:47,840
Speaker 4: when you just completely neutered them two weeks ago?

367
00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:53,000
Speaker 8: You know this is this is perfect? You know, just

368
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:54,879
Speaker 8: looking at the record. I mean, the Niners have had

369
00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:57,320
Speaker 8: their share of wins against the Seahawks, right, and so

370
00:17:57,520 --> 00:17:59,880
Speaker 8: they know, they know about the team, they know about

371
00:17:59,880 --> 00:18:03,080
Speaker 8: the rival, they know what kind of players are still available. Yeah,

372
00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:06,679
Speaker 8: there's no Bosa and Fred Warner in that bunch, but

373
00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:10,760
Speaker 8: Brent Williams is back healthy, that left tackled. He's as

374
00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:12,960
Speaker 8: good as there is in the league. And then the

375
00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:18,800
Speaker 8: offensive weapons on offense, Christian McCaffrey. He's not been running

376
00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:21,240
Speaker 8: the football as productively as he was in the first

377
00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:23,000
Speaker 8: half of the season. I'm sure they're going to try

378
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:25,160
Speaker 8: to get that going too. And he's such a hard

379
00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:27,399
Speaker 8: guy to defend because he's in the backfield, he's at

380
00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:30,719
Speaker 8: the squat, he's playing wide receiver, he's selling popcorn. I mean,

381
00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:33,440
Speaker 8: the guy does everything for him and so they got

382
00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:35,480
Speaker 8: to find a way to keep his production to a minimum.

383
00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:37,760
Speaker 8: He's got the most touches in the in the league,

384
00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:40,280
Speaker 8: have four hundred and thirteen touches. It's hard to believe

385
00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:42,879
Speaker 8: he's still walking around without a limp. I mean, the

386
00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:46,960
Speaker 8: guy has made a steal. And so I think if

387
00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:49,320
Speaker 8: it was a team that maybe you're unfamiliar with and

388
00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:51,960
Speaker 8: you just beat up a little bit, but they know

389
00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:54,640
Speaker 8: each other. These teams, these players and coaches know each

390
00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:57,400
Speaker 8: other well. They know how good they are, how good

391
00:18:57,440 --> 00:18:59,960
Speaker 8: they can be, and they're preparing for their a game

392
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:02,199
Speaker 8: and they're preparing for the very best effort they're ever

393
00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:04,720
Speaker 8: going to see against that opponent. And that's why it's

394
00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:06,160
Speaker 8: such a good rivalry right now.

395
00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:08,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, Well, Steve mary Usci again an NFL network is

396
00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:10,600
Speaker 2: with us, and you know, Dick just brought up, you know,

397
00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:12,960
Speaker 2: how do you take the opponent seriously? I mean, obviously,

398
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:15,920
Speaker 2: as you said, it's the playoffs and there's real hate

399
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:18,919
Speaker 2: right between these two teams. And Juwan Jennings, you know,

400
00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:21,439
Speaker 2: said after the game with the Eagles that this is

401
00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:24,360
Speaker 2: who they wanted they wanted to rematch with the Seahawks.

402
00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:25,200
Speaker 5: How much mooch?

403
00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:27,920
Speaker 2: If you're in that Niner locker room and you're Kyle Shanahan,

404
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:30,600
Speaker 2: can you play up that card? And how much does

405
00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:34,280
Speaker 2: that really tangibly mean on game day? If there is

406
00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:37,360
Speaker 2: a talent gap, if there is a physical difference between

407
00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:40,560
Speaker 2: them and you, how much do you really think from

408
00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:44,040
Speaker 2: a tangible perspective the motivation of being embarrassed in the

409
00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:47,040
Speaker 2: previous game can really mean on Saturday.

410
00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:52,560
Speaker 8: Yeah, a coach will try to use most anything he

411
00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:56,880
Speaker 8: can to motivate his team, whether it's disrespect or being

412
00:19:56,920 --> 00:20:00,159
Speaker 8: the underdog, or being the wounded or being the you

413
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:04,040
Speaker 8: know whatever. He's gonna call at every heart string that

414
00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:07,760
Speaker 8: he can. But this is a very experienced, prideful bunch.

415
00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:09,919
Speaker 8: They don't have a lot of rookies playing over there

416
00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:13,919
Speaker 8: in San Francisco, and so they know what they're getting into.

417
00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:16,800
Speaker 8: They know that they have good players and that they're

418
00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:20,240
Speaker 8: good enough to win thirteen games this season? Are you

419
00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:24,320
Speaker 8: kidding me? With this banged up roster, It's unbelievable how

420
00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:27,160
Speaker 8: many games they've won. So those backup players are saying, Hey,

421
00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:30,000
Speaker 8: I matter too, I'm a good player too. I belong

422
00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:33,560
Speaker 8: you know, I know I'm replacing Nick Bosa or Fred Warner.

423
00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:37,360
Speaker 8: Eric Kendricks made the big play last week on fourth down.

424
00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:41,320
Speaker 8: He's their third inside linebacker, and they just keep plugging

425
00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:43,560
Speaker 8: and playing, and you know, it drives me a little

426
00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:47,560
Speaker 8: nuts sometimes. Next man up philosophy, you know what that is.

427
00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:51,120
Speaker 8: That's coach speak. Next man up. You know you say

428
00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:54,080
Speaker 8: that so your team doesn't lose confidence or feels good

429
00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:58,080
Speaker 8: about who's playing. But really, when you have a lot

430
00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:01,560
Speaker 8: of next man up, you're not as good as the varsity. Okay,

431
00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:04,040
Speaker 8: you're you're you're playing with backups and they're not as

432
00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:06,880
Speaker 8: good as the other guy they're replacing. But so other

433
00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:09,959
Speaker 8: people have to make up for that that difference. But

434
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:12,520
Speaker 8: they just have so much dam pride over there that

435
00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:15,360
Speaker 8: they're finding a way. And that's that's why I say

436
00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:19,640
Speaker 8: Coach of the Year discussion for Kyle because he's doing

437
00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:22,040
Speaker 8: it with with with so many I don't want to

438
00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:24,199
Speaker 8: say mirrors, but he's got a lot of guys that

439
00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:26,600
Speaker 8: they weren't supposed to count on that are they're they're

440
00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:29,760
Speaker 8: they're contributing to their wins this year. So hey, this

441
00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:31,960
Speaker 8: game's going right down to the wire. Man, I'm just

442
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:34,720
Speaker 8: telling you, I don't care who the favorite is, who's playing,

443
00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:37,280
Speaker 8: who's hurt. This game's going down to the wire because

444
00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:42,240
Speaker 8: it's too well coached teams against very prideful organizations. And uh,

445
00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:46,120
Speaker 8: it is the playoffs. It's loser go home. And so yeah,

446
00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:47,600
Speaker 8: I can't wait for this one.

447
00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:51,440
Speaker 4: Coach the Seahawks and that thirteen to three win use

448
00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:53,520
Speaker 4: a very very conservative game plan.

449
00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:57,160
Speaker 6: Do you anticipate you'll see that again this week?

450
00:21:57,240 --> 00:21:59,440
Speaker 4: And and is that the game plan you'd take into

451
00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:01,680
Speaker 4: this game or would you open it up and say,

452
00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:03,800
Speaker 4: you know, let's let's open it up, let's throw down

453
00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:05,600
Speaker 4: field a little bit and see if we can get

454
00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:10,080
Speaker 4: this game over early, early, and score twenty four points.

455
00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:13,920
Speaker 8: I think it's both. I think you're gonna you're gonna say,

456
00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:17,520
Speaker 8: all right, we feel good about running the football. We

457
00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:20,160
Speaker 8: we like our matchups with our big guys against their

458
00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:22,520
Speaker 8: big guys. So we think we can make some first

459
00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:25,719
Speaker 8: downs on the ground and choose some clock. Yes, but

460
00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:27,680
Speaker 8: then it's that. But then they say, hey, we've got

461
00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:30,800
Speaker 8: some weapons too, that We've got a veteran quarterback and

462
00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:33,480
Speaker 8: Jack Jacks and Smith and jigbell that can make big

463
00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:36,680
Speaker 8: plays from anywhere, anytime. So we've got to have some

464
00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:39,240
Speaker 8: of the some new plays, new wrinkles that they have

465
00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:42,439
Speaker 8: not prepared for just yet to take our shots. You

466
00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:45,119
Speaker 8: can't score enough points by just bunting. You can't just

467
00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:47,560
Speaker 8: run the whole game. You got to have chunk plays.

468
00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:50,080
Speaker 8: You got to have shot plays and some big plays

469
00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:52,520
Speaker 8: if you want to score twenty four plus points. And

470
00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:54,880
Speaker 8: so I'm sure they've got that up their sleeve too.

471
00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:58,199
Speaker 8: You know, it's not going to be a completely new

472
00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:00,960
Speaker 8: game plan. These are two good teams that part of

473
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:02,879
Speaker 8: their their build is, Hey, we're going to do what

474
00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:05,919
Speaker 8: we do best, and so if we can change up

475
00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:08,359
Speaker 8: formations or personnel groups and a wrinkle here and a

476
00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:12,479
Speaker 8: wrinkle there, yes we'll do that. But it's whoever blocks

477
00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:15,280
Speaker 8: and tackles the best, and who throws and catches the

478
00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:17,359
Speaker 8: best and take care of the football. I don't think

479
00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:18,320
Speaker 8: it's gonna rain, is it?

480
00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:18,800
Speaker 4: No?

481
00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:19,960
Speaker 5: No, it should be good.

482
00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:22,639
Speaker 8: Yeah, if they stay with fifty degrees, it should be.

483
00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:25,080
Speaker 8: The weather should not be a factor. The crowd is

484
00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:27,240
Speaker 8: always a factor up there. We know that they're going

485
00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:29,760
Speaker 8: they're counting on the twelves to screw up a snap

486
00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:32,879
Speaker 8: counter or a motion or a formation once in a while.

487
00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:37,080
Speaker 8: So anyway, let's tee it up. It's gonna be a

488
00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:37,960
Speaker 8: good one, guys.

489
00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:38,200
Speaker 5: No doubt.

490
00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:41,200
Speaker 2: Hey mooch, before you go quickly, we got about thirty seconds.

491
00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:43,920
Speaker 5: Rams, Bears. What do you see happening in Chicago?

492
00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:45,560
Speaker 9: You know what?

493
00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:48,760
Speaker 8: I think the Rams have the better roster, the better

494
00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:53,240
Speaker 8: team obviously, the more experienced quarterback, and the best receiving

495
00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:56,359
Speaker 8: duo in the league with Kuka the Coup and Devonte Adams.

496
00:23:57,240 --> 00:24:00,159
Speaker 8: If it's windy over there in Chicago, that'll be a

497
00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:02,879
Speaker 8: factor because the Rams are a past kind of first

498
00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:06,760
Speaker 8: offense and that could be now Matthew Stafford has played

499
00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:10,520
Speaker 8: over there many times as a Ram and of Detroit Lion, right.

500
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:14,040
Speaker 8: So in this Bear team, it's just kind of the

501
00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:16,840
Speaker 8: Cinderella story of the of the league. I mean, they

502
00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:19,840
Speaker 8: come from behind, usually in the last two minutes of

503
00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:22,679
Speaker 8: the game to pull off a miracle and it's been like,

504
00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:26,639
Speaker 8: are you kidding me? Here we go again. So obviously

505
00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:29,560
Speaker 8: I think the Rams are the better team, but there's

506
00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:31,679
Speaker 8: there's just the stars seem to be aligned for the

507
00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:35,000
Speaker 8: Chicago Bears and they just are having a they're having

508
00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:37,359
Speaker 8: a heck of a season. Miraculous by the way, for

509
00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:39,320
Speaker 8: our first year Ben Johnson, head coach.

510
00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:41,920
Speaker 5: Steve, you're the man, great stuff.

511
00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:46,600
Speaker 2: We'll tell Mike you said alow, luck, Yeah, enjoy the

512
00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:48,560

00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:49,240
Speaker 5: Man, nice coach.

514
00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:51,720
Speaker 8: All right, let's do that. Thanks for having me on, guys,

529

Speaker 5: I know you were coming on the way down here.

530
00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:37,840
Speaker 5: I wanted to say, how to coach.

531
00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:40,240
Speaker 2: We're sorry that couldn't happen, but we're glad to have

532
00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:42,800
Speaker 2: you here for the big news of the day in Seattle.

533
00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:45,720
Speaker 2: What's your thoughts on defenseman Brandon Montour being back for

534
00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:48,120
Speaker 2: the crack of the night against the Boston Bruins.

535
00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:49,320
Speaker 5: Your take on that, that's shig.

536
00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:50,800
Speaker 1: I don't know if I can sleep today.

537
00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:55,159
Speaker 2: Well, obviously we got some big news here Mike to

538
00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:57,880
Speaker 2: talk about. I mean, Sam Darnold's got an oblique injury

539
00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:01,199
Speaker 2: I listed as questionable now on the injury report. You know,

540
00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:02,840
Speaker 2: if this was like week three or four of the

541
00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:06,320
Speaker 2: season whatever, right, But it's the playoffs that's one and done,

542
00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:07,040
Speaker 2: do or die.

543
00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:08,719
Speaker 5: So how concerned are you?

544
00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:11,840
Speaker 2: How concerned should Seahawk fans be about this latest edition

545
00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:13,280
Speaker 2: to the Seahawk Injury Report?

546
00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:15,439
Speaker 1: Well, it strikes me he's a little bit odd how

547
00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:18,840
Speaker 1: it came out. You know, I'm not sure if I

548
00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:22,080
Speaker 1: was still coaching, excuse me that I would that I

549
00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:25,679
Speaker 1: would have him talk to the idea, right right, you know,

550
00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:30,680
Speaker 1: But so that tells me that there is more there there,

551
00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:35,399
Speaker 1: then perhaps you want to think, but with that type

552
00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:39,280
Speaker 1: of injury for a quarterback or anybody playing, but for

553
00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:42,439
Speaker 1: a quarterback in his movement, if it continues to be

554
00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:45,560
Speaker 1: a problem. I've never had an oblique injury. But if

555
00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:48,480
Speaker 1: they can deaden it a little bit or do what's

556
00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:52,000
Speaker 1: do something, which they can do with most injuries in

557
00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:54,680
Speaker 1: this day and age, then I think he's gonna be fine.

558
00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:59,760
Speaker 1: But it wasn't the best news I could hear all day.

559
00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:03,080
Speaker 4: What's your reaction if your quarterback or the trainer comes

560
00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:05,200
Speaker 4: and tells you forty eight minutes forty eight hours and

561
00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:07,239
Speaker 4: for a playoff game that day, Yeah, your quarterbacks got

562
00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:08,119
Speaker 4: an oblique injury.

563
00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:10,919
Speaker 1: Well, you know I had to deal with that a

564
00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:12,520
Speaker 1: little bit when they came and told me, hassle, that

565
00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:16,239
Speaker 1: couldn't play anymore my last year. Yeah, I fired him, right,

566
00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:18,159
Speaker 1: I fired all the doctors right there. They're standing right there.

567
00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:20,000
Speaker 1: You're all fired. Get out of my off, get out.

568
00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:23,520
Speaker 5: But he knew that you were leaving, though, so it

569
00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:24,560
Speaker 5: really wasn't that big a deal.

570
00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:28,240
Speaker 1: Well, they know. They they looked at me kind of like, Okay,

571
00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:29,960
Speaker 1: you're not fired. But I don't want to hear that

572
00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:30,600
Speaker 1: you know.

573
00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:34,040
Speaker 5: But what was that? What does that do?

574
00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:37,520
Speaker 2: Let's say they go out there, like you asked Hugh

575
00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:40,639
Speaker 2: Dick earlier. Okay, let's say he's at ninety percent. Yeah,

576
00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:42,880
Speaker 2: you're also trying to protect this guy for the rest

577
00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:46,400
Speaker 2: of the playoffs obviously, right, there's more games to be played, hopefully,

578
00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:48,679
Speaker 2: but you can't factor that in and don't think for

579
00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:51,480
Speaker 2: the game on Saturday. You can't limit him. What does

580
00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:53,199
Speaker 2: that do to the offense? What does it do to

581
00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:56,720
Speaker 2: your playbook? If Sam Darnold is potentially even limited just

582
00:27:56,800 --> 00:27:59,080
Speaker 2: a little bit with how much he juice he can

583
00:27:59,119 --> 00:27:59,879
Speaker 2: get on those balls.

584
00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:05,480
Speaker 1: I think tomorrow and actually on game day you're gonna

585
00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:11,119
Speaker 1: find out what his limits are in warm ups. You

586
00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:14,640
Speaker 1: got two days to find out, and then you adjust

587
00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:19,320
Speaker 1: if you have to. You're gonna run the ball more hopefully,

588
00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:22,280
Speaker 1: but you know, you still have to win this game

589
00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:25,639
Speaker 1: to get to the next one. So this is a

590
00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:27,800
Speaker 1: tough deal. I hope it's not a bad thing. I

591
00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:30,680
Speaker 1: hope it's just you know, you're a little bit of

592
00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:35,160
Speaker 1: an irritant and he can play. You know, I've been

593
00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:37,800
Speaker 1: a fan of his and the kind of champion him

594
00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:42,600
Speaker 1: all season long, and I want him to do well.

595
00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:44,560
Speaker 2: Well, the only thing that I can guarantee you, guys,

596
00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:46,840
Speaker 2: we're gonna beat this thing to death for the next

597
00:28:46,840 --> 00:28:47,719
Speaker 2: twenty four hours.

598
00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:48,560
Speaker 1: Okay, Yeah, the.

00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:16,200

631
00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:18,400
Speaker 2: wings delivered during the break there, and I did not

632
00:30:18,520 --> 00:30:20,120
Speaker 2: spill one drop on my shirt.

633
00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:21,320
Speaker 5: Was unbelievable.

634
00:30:21,360 --> 00:30:23,320
Speaker 1: I lost a bet on that.

635
00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:25,720
Speaker 4: When you were a white kind of a white camel

636
00:30:25,800 --> 00:30:27,280
Speaker 4: hoodie too, so amazing.

637
00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:29,360
Speaker 5: It's guarantee that Ian Taylor.

638
00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:31,160
Speaker 2: The fact that I ate those wings and did not

639
00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:33,280
Speaker 2: spill it all. I mean I should be given like

640
00:30:33,320 --> 00:30:35,120
Speaker 2: a you know, a free months of food or the

641
00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:37,920
Speaker 2: food here for God's sakes, or something that was unbelievable

642
00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:40,200
Speaker 2: that I just pulled out. All the good were good

643
00:30:40,280 --> 00:30:42,160
Speaker 2: for the best. So if you notice something, by the way,

644
00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:43,880
Speaker 2: let me know. I got the little tide pen in

645
00:30:43,920 --> 00:30:45,400
Speaker 2: my backpack for moments like that.

646
00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:46,400
Speaker 1: But hey, if you're.

647
00:30:46,240 --> 00:30:47,960

Speaker 2: let's still go back guys.

651
00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:56,360
Speaker 5: For everybody tuning in right now.

652
00:30:56,680 --> 00:30:59,520
Speaker 2: Sam Darnold was added to the injury update today with

653
00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:03,600
Speaker 2: an old week injury. Here's what Sam himself said after

654
00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:05,760
Speaker 2: practice today about what he's dealing with.

655
00:31:05,840 --> 00:31:07,800
Speaker 5: So good in routes on air.

656
00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:09,800
Speaker 10: Just kind of felt a little a little something in

657
00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:14,360
Speaker 10: my oblique. Just didn't want to push it. Uh, you know,

658
00:31:14,400 --> 00:31:16,160
Speaker 10: it wasn't the day to push it. So that was

659
00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:18,560
Speaker 10: that was it. So I just came inside, I got

660
00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:21,360
Speaker 10: some rehab and you know, feel like I'll be ready

661
00:31:21,400 --> 00:31:22,200
Speaker 10: to go for Saturday.

662
00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:23,800
Speaker 5: That was just today that happened.

663
00:31:24,040 --> 00:31:27,920
Speaker 6: Yeah, you ever had anything teak issues or anything more.

664
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:31,000
Speaker 10: No, No, never had oblique issues. But it's fun. You know,

665
00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:32,680
Speaker 10: we'll attack it the next couple of days and be

666
00:31:32,760 --> 00:31:36,800
Speaker 10: ready to go for Saturday. Is this on like throwing side?

667
00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:41,120
Speaker 10: It's just on my left side? You know it is

668
00:31:41,160 --> 00:31:43,520
Speaker 10: what it is. But yeah, again, like I said, Felton

669
00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:46,480
Speaker 10: on a throw. But you know we'll be ready to go.

670
00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:49,120
Speaker 1: You think you might not play?

671
00:31:50,280 --> 00:31:53,760
Speaker 10: Uh, it's a very low percentage, probably closer to zero.

672
00:31:55,080 --> 00:31:58,280
Speaker 2: So you said something Mike interesting earlier today that you

673
00:31:58,360 --> 00:32:02,360
Speaker 2: think that him talking about it shows you that maybe

674
00:32:02,360 --> 00:32:03,520
Speaker 2: there's a little more there.

675
00:32:03,840 --> 00:32:05,800
Speaker 5: And I had the exact oppose to take you that.

676
00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:07,920
Speaker 2: I thought, if he was really banged up and really hurt,

677
00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:10,240
Speaker 2: that he would not be addressing the media this afternoon.

678
00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:11,400
Speaker 5: So tell me about that.

679
00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:14,160
Speaker 1: Well, I just surprised me he'd be talked about it

680
00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:18,280
Speaker 1: at all, Right, So if he talks about it, there

681
00:32:18,360 --> 00:32:21,520
Speaker 1: might excuse me, there might be something more there. That's

682
00:32:21,560 --> 00:32:24,320
Speaker 1: all I thought. Okay, now, but after hearing him, I

683
00:32:24,320 --> 00:32:27,320
Speaker 1: hadn't heard him. I think he sounds he sounds like

684
00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:30,160
Speaker 1: he's gonna be fine, right, He's not worried. Doesn't it

685
00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:32,640
Speaker 1: appear to be worried about it. But like I said,

686
00:32:33,080 --> 00:32:35,760
Speaker 1: he they've got two days to see him warm up,

687
00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:38,480
Speaker 1: to see how he does, see how he throws. They're

688
00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:42,280
Speaker 1: going to treat it, and so I think he'll be okay.

689
00:32:42,600 --> 00:32:45,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm not worried about him play. I'm just worried

690
00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:48,520
Speaker 4: about that one play, right, coach. That one play he's

691
00:32:48,840 --> 00:32:51,200
Speaker 4: you know, avoiding the sack and he's rolling out and

692
00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:52,840
Speaker 4: he has to throw across his body and then all

693
00:32:52,840 --> 00:32:54,760
Speaker 4: of a sudden, ah, you know what, like it's like

694
00:32:54,800 --> 00:32:55,800
Speaker 4: a knife in the side.

695
00:32:55,840 --> 00:32:58,400
Speaker 1: That's a good point, and that that could happen, you know,

696
00:32:58,520 --> 00:33:03,000
Speaker 1: because he there's so thing there. Yeah, and so warming

697
00:33:03,080 --> 00:33:05,720
Speaker 1: up and throwing and practice and stuff, you don't want

698
00:33:05,720 --> 00:33:08,560
Speaker 1: to aggravate it. So you're not going to push yourself, right,

699
00:33:08,680 --> 00:33:10,640
Speaker 1: No one's gonna push you. But in the game that

700
00:33:10,680 --> 00:33:12,440
Speaker 1: you got to play the game right. And he'll do

701
00:33:12,520 --> 00:33:14,280
Speaker 1: whatever he has to do to get the ball to

702
00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:16,920
Speaker 1: where he's supposed to get throw it, and so that

703
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:19,600
Speaker 1: could tweak it. That that could happen. Dick.

704
00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:21,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I was kind of jugging with Dick and

705
00:33:21,720 --> 00:33:24,200
Speaker 2: Jackson Mike earlier that I mean, and just looking at

706
00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:26,120
Speaker 2: some notes. I mean, First of all, good luck if

707
00:33:26,120 --> 00:33:28,360
Speaker 2: you guys can read any of that. By the way, okay, chicking,

708
00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:30,440
Speaker 2: these these are my notes from the last Niner game,

709
00:33:30,440 --> 00:33:32,080
Speaker 2: which was a week and a half ago. Like, I mean,

710
00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:33,720
Speaker 2: you don't need to go that far back right to

711
00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:35,680
Speaker 2: kind of talk about the matchup. And I'm looking at

712
00:33:35,880 --> 00:33:38,480
Speaker 2: thirty eight minutes o'clock time. The Niners had five drives

713
00:33:38,480 --> 00:33:39,960
Speaker 2: Mike where they had a chance to tie the game,

714
00:33:39,960 --> 00:33:41,960
Speaker 2: and they were zero for five on all five. They

715
00:33:41,960 --> 00:33:44,920
Speaker 2: had three drives that ended with no scores, two misfield goals,

716
00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:47,360
Speaker 2: and the first and goal from the one debacle. And

717
00:33:47,400 --> 00:33:49,760
Speaker 2: they still took twenty minutes off the clock on those

718
00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:52,800
Speaker 2: three drives. So that was a domination on the line.

719
00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:57,120
Speaker 2: It was physical domination by the Seahawks on the lightest scrimmage.

720
00:33:57,120 --> 00:34:01,760
Speaker 2: They controlled that game for forty minutes. Why would this game,

721
00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:04,920
Speaker 2: in your mind potentially be different than the last game.

722
00:34:05,880 --> 00:34:07,760
Speaker 1: Well, I just think the forty nine Ers are a

723
00:34:07,760 --> 00:34:10,880
Speaker 1: better football team than they showed. Having said that, the

724
00:34:10,920 --> 00:34:14,080
Speaker 1: Seahawks defense played a great game. But I go back

725
00:34:14,120 --> 00:34:16,520
Speaker 1: to and we've talked about it before, three of us

726
00:34:17,560 --> 00:34:19,719
Speaker 1: we lost to the Chicago Bears thirty nine to nothing.

727
00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:22,680
Speaker 1: On Monday Night football, right, and then we came back

728
00:34:22,680 --> 00:34:25,040
Speaker 1: and played them in the playoff game. I think they

729
00:34:25,040 --> 00:34:27,320
Speaker 1: went to the Super Bowl that year, and we should

730
00:34:27,320 --> 00:34:27,759
Speaker 1: have won that.

731
00:34:27,719 --> 00:34:30,319
Speaker 5: Game against the Colts, right, Yeah, the Bears right against the.

732
00:34:30,239 --> 00:34:33,760
Speaker 1: Bears, right, And so you have those two dramatically different

733
00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:38,720
Speaker 1: games with the same people, you know, So it happens

734
00:34:38,760 --> 00:34:41,759
Speaker 1: in the NFL. I expect the forty nine ers to

735
00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:45,359
Speaker 1: play better. Having said that the Seahawks defense is tough

736
00:34:45,400 --> 00:34:46,480
Speaker 1: to beat, you.

737
00:34:46,440 --> 00:34:49,040
Speaker 4: Think the Bears overlooked you because you know, Mike Florio

738
00:34:49,120 --> 00:34:51,080
Speaker 4: came on on Wednesday and his quote was, you have

739
00:34:51,160 --> 00:34:53,960
Speaker 4: to overcome the fact that it was so easy the

740
00:34:54,040 --> 00:34:56,759
Speaker 4: first time. So you think when you look back on

741
00:34:56,760 --> 00:34:59,319
Speaker 4: that Bears game, are like, they took us lightly and

742
00:34:59,360 --> 00:35:00,520
Speaker 4: that's why it was so close.

743
00:35:00,719 --> 00:35:03,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think so. I think there is an emotional

744
00:35:03,680 --> 00:35:09,080
Speaker 1: thing there. Now. I don't think that's in Mike McDonald's makeup. No.

745
00:35:09,440 --> 00:35:11,480
Speaker 1: I think he's going to get his team ready to play,

746
00:35:12,120 --> 00:35:15,120
Speaker 1: and so I just think that the forty nine ers

747
00:35:15,320 --> 00:35:18,719
Speaker 1: will play better. Right now, Is it enough? You know?

748
00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:20,680
Speaker 1: I don't think it will be enough, but they will

749
00:35:20,680 --> 00:35:21,359
Speaker 1: play better. Yeah.

750
00:35:21,360 --> 00:35:23,040
Speaker 2: I just don't know if they have the Horses. I mean,

751
00:35:23,120 --> 00:35:24,920
Speaker 2: can we all agree that the best their injinet?

752
00:35:25,040 --> 00:35:25,120
Speaker 4: No?

753
00:35:25,280 --> 00:35:27,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, but the best unit in this game is the

754
00:35:27,800 --> 00:35:32,160
Speaker 2: Seahawks defense. Like they're the best unit. Right, So that

755
00:35:32,320 --> 00:35:34,880
Speaker 2: matchup of Brock Purdy against the Seahawk defense, I mean,

756
00:35:34,920 --> 00:35:37,320
Speaker 2: I guess you could say McCaffrey doesn't drop that ball. Ockay,

757
00:35:37,360 --> 00:35:40,160
Speaker 2: maybe they score, maybe they lose the game thirteen to ten,

758
00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:41,880
Speaker 2: But then Myers missed two field goals.

759
00:35:42,239 --> 00:35:43,920
Speaker 5: One of their field goals was aided.

760
00:35:43,680 --> 00:35:45,440
Speaker 2: By a kickoff that went out of bounds, and then

761
00:35:45,480 --> 00:35:48,480
Speaker 2: Darnold had Sharperney. I feel like the score mic was

762
00:35:48,560 --> 00:35:51,000
Speaker 2: closer in the first game more because of what the

763
00:35:51,040 --> 00:35:54,400
Speaker 2: Seahawks did versus what the Niners did in that game.

764
00:35:54,280 --> 00:35:57,239
Speaker 1: And the one they just played. Yeah, yes, I think so.

765
00:35:57,520 --> 00:35:59,879
Speaker 1: It was a combination of both those things, right, Because

766
00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:03,520
Speaker 1: you say, no one wins many games scoring thirteen points,

767
00:36:03,719 --> 00:36:07,200
Speaker 1: you just don't win. But they won. Why did they

768
00:36:07,200 --> 00:36:08,759
Speaker 1: win because they were so dominant on deepen?

769
00:36:08,800 --> 00:36:10,279
Speaker 5: Did they beat the Cowboys thirteen to ten?

770
00:36:10,320 --> 00:36:12,160
Speaker 2: When Josh Brown had that game winning field goal and

771
00:36:12,200 --> 00:36:13,799
Speaker 2: chucked his helmet across the field.

772
00:36:14,040 --> 00:36:15,759
Speaker 5: That thirteen to ten game, Yeah, I don't remember. I

773
00:36:15,800 --> 00:36:16,879
Speaker 5: think he won that game, by the way.

774
00:36:16,920 --> 00:36:18,600
Speaker 1: Really yeah, well, the game.

775
00:36:18,400 --> 00:36:20,920
Speaker 4: Plan, I mean, part of the reason that game was

776
00:36:20,960 --> 00:36:24,840
Speaker 4: thirteen to three was that the Seahawks were so conservative.

777
00:36:25,040 --> 00:36:27,160
Speaker 4: I mean, they just did not want to make any

778
00:36:27,200 --> 00:36:31,320
Speaker 4: mistakes on offensive. Now, with San Francisco even more depleted, no, Kiddle,

779
00:36:31,800 --> 00:36:34,200
Speaker 4: do you think they'll go right back to the well

780
00:36:34,360 --> 00:36:36,319
Speaker 4: and be just as conservative this time?

781
00:36:36,400 --> 00:36:39,200
Speaker 1: I hope not, Dick. You know, if if you had

782
00:36:39,200 --> 00:36:41,279
Speaker 1: that feeling, or if people had that feeling, and I

783
00:36:41,320 --> 00:36:46,719
Speaker 1: did to a certain extent, that they have good offensive players.

784
00:36:47,360 --> 00:36:51,560
Speaker 1: The Seahawks have good offensive players. Cut it loose, I mean,

785
00:36:51,680 --> 00:36:54,600
Speaker 1: I mean, play your offense right. Your job is to

786
00:36:54,640 --> 00:36:57,839
Speaker 1: score points. If you're the coordinator. That was my job

787
00:36:57,840 --> 00:37:00,160
Speaker 1: when I was a coordinator in San Francisco, that is

788
00:37:00,200 --> 00:37:03,879
Speaker 1: my job score points. No one's telling me they calm down.

789
00:37:04,440 --> 00:37:06,919
Speaker 1: I think we only need six points to win the game.

790
00:37:07,120 --> 00:37:10,000
Speaker 1: No one's telling me that, right, and so I would

791
00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:12,319
Speaker 1: be shit. I don't think that's gonna happen. I think

792
00:37:12,760 --> 00:37:14,399
Speaker 1: cut it loose, and I hope I see a little

793
00:37:14,400 --> 00:37:18,240
Speaker 1: bit more play action on first down, some screens, some stuff,

794
00:37:18,280 --> 00:37:22,560
Speaker 1: you know, and then I don't think they're gonna approach

795
00:37:22,600 --> 00:37:23,040
Speaker 1: it that way.

796
00:37:23,239 --> 00:37:26,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, thirteen to ten, Week seven against Dallas See. I'm

797
00:37:26,040 --> 00:37:28,000
Speaker 2: here to remember stuff that you forget, by the way,

798
00:37:28,160 --> 00:37:29,000
Speaker 2: that's why I hang around.

799
00:37:29,320 --> 00:37:30,880
Speaker 1: I appreciate that. Yeah, yeah, I really do.

800
00:37:30,960 --> 00:37:32,600
Speaker 2: I just hope that somebody does the same for me

801
00:37:32,719 --> 00:37:34,400
Speaker 2: one day down the road, all right, because'm getting there.

828
00:38:33,719 --> 00:38:36,040
Speaker 2: which is just fine by us. All right, We're here

829
00:38:36,040 --> 00:38:38,279
Speaker 2: at the five twenty bar and grill a few more

830
00:38:38,320 --> 00:38:40,480
Speaker 2: minutes with Mike Homber And and Mike that story we just

831
00:38:40,800 --> 00:38:43,440
Speaker 2: talked about their Robert Sala, nin er DC is going

832
00:38:43,520 --> 00:38:46,000
Speaker 2: to interview for the Cardinals job tonight. I'm trying to

833
00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:47,520
Speaker 2: remember how you guys did it, because I know it's

834
00:38:47,600 --> 00:38:49,359
Speaker 2: changed a little bit the rules on when you can

835
00:38:49,400 --> 00:38:51,880
Speaker 2: talk to people. Kubiak spent last week because they had

836
00:38:51,880 --> 00:38:54,440
Speaker 2: to buy talking to a lot of teams. But I mean,

837
00:38:54,520 --> 00:38:56,960
Speaker 2: Robert Sala's got a game in forty eight hours from now,

838
00:38:57,200 --> 00:39:00,239
Speaker 2: and he's interviewing tonight for the Cardinals coaching job.

839
00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:02,040
Speaker 5: Does that seem kind of odd to you a little bit.

840
00:39:02,520 --> 00:39:05,840
Speaker 1: It was a little disruptive. I think, you know, they've

841
00:39:05,920 --> 00:39:08,560
Speaker 1: changed the rules, I think a little bit crazy. I

842
00:39:08,880 --> 00:39:12,279
Speaker 1: remember going being in the hunt with a group of

843
00:39:12,320 --> 00:39:14,640
Speaker 1: coaches and they were all kind of waiting for me

844
00:39:14,719 --> 00:39:17,279
Speaker 1: to make the decision because then things kind of fell

845
00:39:17,280 --> 00:39:19,640
Speaker 1: into place because there were about four or five teams

846
00:39:19,640 --> 00:39:23,560
Speaker 1: interviewing a bunch of coaches. So, but Robert Salah is

847
00:39:23,560 --> 00:39:26,279
Speaker 1: a good pick. I think he's a fine coach, and

848
00:39:26,320 --> 00:39:28,080
Speaker 1: he just happened to be with the Jets and the

849
00:39:28,560 --> 00:39:31,480
Speaker 1: I don't know what's going on with the Jets, so uh,

850
00:39:32,760 --> 00:39:35,919
Speaker 1: I think if he if he goes somewhere there, that's

851
00:39:35,960 --> 00:39:37,080
Speaker 1: going to be good for that team.

852
00:39:37,320 --> 00:39:39,399
Speaker 2: Wasn't he there when Ed Rogers got hurt the head

853
00:39:39,400 --> 00:39:42,040
Speaker 2: coach sala he got fired. That was that was his gig,

854
00:39:42,120 --> 00:39:44,000
Speaker 2: right he was on the job. Yeah, he thought he

855
00:39:44,120 --> 00:39:47,600
Speaker 2: was on the job. He had no quarterback, right right.

856
00:39:47,719 --> 00:39:49,239
Speaker 2: I mean, because I agree with you, I think he's

857
00:39:49,280 --> 00:39:50,759
Speaker 2: a good coach, really good gay job.

858
00:39:51,080 --> 00:39:54,239
Speaker 1: He's a defensive guy, yeah, you know, and so we

859
00:39:54,320 --> 00:39:57,680
Speaker 1: know now that I was always a little bit skeptical

860
00:39:57,760 --> 00:40:01,080
Speaker 1: defensive guys can be head coaches, but we know now

861
00:40:01,120 --> 00:40:03,279
Speaker 1: that we've got a really good one. Yeah, he's a

862
00:40:03,320 --> 00:40:05,520
Speaker 1: defensive guy, so it can happen.

863
00:40:06,440 --> 00:40:09,680
Speaker 4: John Harbaugh, we haven't talked to you since he was fired. Yeah,

864
00:40:09,719 --> 00:40:11,759
Speaker 4: and now he looks like he's gonna be hired with

865
00:40:11,880 --> 00:40:15,200
Speaker 4: the Giants. So the last week of as the Harbaugh turns,

866
00:40:15,239 --> 00:40:15,839
Speaker 4: what's your take?

867
00:40:18,160 --> 00:40:22,160
Speaker 1: I thought, you know, you coach for eighteen nineteen years

868
00:40:22,160 --> 00:40:25,239
Speaker 1: in a row. Sometimes it's you see guys wanting to

869
00:40:25,280 --> 00:40:28,640
Speaker 1: take a breath for a year then get back into it.

870
00:40:28,640 --> 00:40:31,319
Speaker 1: It's not him. He wanted to get back into it,

871
00:40:31,360 --> 00:40:34,520
Speaker 1: and he had his choice. He has his choice because

872
00:40:34,560 --> 00:40:36,239
Speaker 1: everybody wanted him.

873
00:40:36,400 --> 00:40:36,520
Speaker 5: Right.

874
00:40:37,080 --> 00:40:38,719
Speaker 1: I don't know if he had any years left on

875
00:40:38,760 --> 00:40:42,640
Speaker 1: his contract with Baltimore, right. Tomlin had a year left

876
00:40:42,640 --> 00:40:45,800
Speaker 1: on his contract with Pittsburgh. So that changes the dynamic

877
00:40:45,960 --> 00:40:49,200
Speaker 1: just a little bit because the two organizations have to

878
00:40:49,280 --> 00:40:50,880
Speaker 1: kind of work on that a little bit. Yeah, if

879
00:40:50,920 --> 00:40:52,160
Speaker 1: you if your coach leaves.

880
00:40:51,920 --> 00:40:53,640
Speaker 2: I'm glad you brought up Tomlin because we haven't even

881
00:40:53,640 --> 00:40:56,920
Speaker 2: talked about that yet. Florio, your favorite NFL reporter, was

882
00:40:56,960 --> 00:40:59,520
Speaker 2: on the show yesterday and we asked him, do you

883
00:40:59,560 --> 00:41:02,040
Speaker 2: think that the Steelers just went to Mike Tomlin and said, hey,

884
00:41:02,080 --> 00:41:03,399
Speaker 2: we're going to make a move. But if you want

885
00:41:03,400 --> 00:41:05,960
Speaker 2: to say that you stepped down, that's fine, right, whatever

886
00:41:06,040 --> 00:41:07,880
Speaker 2: you want is what we'll do. And Mike says, the

887
00:41:07,920 --> 00:41:11,799
Speaker 2: Steelers don't fire anybody. He's convinced one hundred percent that

888
00:41:11,840 --> 00:41:15,000
Speaker 2: Mike Tomlin actually made that call to step down.

889
00:41:15,040 --> 00:41:15,719
Speaker 5: Do you buy that?

890
00:41:15,840 --> 00:41:18,480
Speaker 1: No, I think it's what you said. Wow, I really do.

891
00:41:18,600 --> 00:41:21,120
Speaker 1: I think that's what you said. That struck me because

892
00:41:21,120 --> 00:41:23,759
Speaker 1: I think but they but they don't come out and

893
00:41:23,800 --> 00:41:29,680
Speaker 1: fire anybody, right, that's true. But they work it out

894
00:41:29,719 --> 00:41:32,799
Speaker 1: some weather way. So the guy leaves. So what do

895
00:41:32,800 --> 00:41:34,440
Speaker 1: you call it? I mean, let's just bring a name

896
00:41:34,520 --> 00:41:34,719
Speaker 1: to it.

897
00:41:34,760 --> 00:41:36,839
Speaker 5: You think the Rooney family was ready to move on from.

898
00:41:36,719 --> 00:41:37,480
Speaker 1: Mike Tomas side?

899
00:41:37,480 --> 00:41:37,520
Speaker 5: Do?

900
00:41:37,680 --> 00:41:38,719
Speaker 1: Okay? Gotcha? Yeah?

901
00:41:38,719 --> 00:41:40,600
Speaker 5: And then the question you brought up just sorry, dickton

902
00:41:40,600 --> 00:41:40,880
Speaker 5: her up.

903
00:41:40,920 --> 00:41:42,799
Speaker 2: But you Dick asked on the air last week if

904
00:41:42,800 --> 00:41:45,920
Speaker 2: Sean McDermott had lost that game right over the weekend

905
00:41:45,920 --> 00:41:47,960
Speaker 2: to Jacksonville and they won the game, I mean, the

906
00:41:48,040 --> 00:41:50,480
Speaker 2: Jaguars had the ball with a chance to tie or

907
00:41:50,480 --> 00:41:52,560
Speaker 2: win the game in the first pass of the last

908
00:41:52,640 --> 00:41:54,680
Speaker 2: drive got picked off by Buffalo.

909
00:41:54,920 --> 00:41:56,880
Speaker 5: You think McDermott would have been out if they would

910
00:41:56,880 --> 00:41:58,839
Speaker 5: have lost that game. I don't just save his job.

911
00:42:00,680 --> 00:42:03,120
Speaker 1: Perhaps there was some there was some talk about that

912
00:42:03,160 --> 00:42:06,400
Speaker 1: prior to the game, and it's all it's all a

913
00:42:06,440 --> 00:42:09,600
Speaker 1: type of ownership. I don't know the owners. They weren't

914
00:42:09,640 --> 00:42:11,760
Speaker 1: owners when I was in the league as a coach.

915
00:42:12,360 --> 00:42:15,640
Speaker 1: But if you get an owner that wants to like

916
00:42:16,239 --> 00:42:18,759
Speaker 1: Rashati in Baltimore, I know him a little bit. It

917
00:42:18,800 --> 00:42:22,919
Speaker 1: didn't surprise me at all, you know, h It didn't

918
00:42:22,960 --> 00:42:25,719
Speaker 1: surprise me that the Rooney family how they do it.

919
00:42:26,320 --> 00:42:28,600
Speaker 1: And so because I knew them a little bit, and

920
00:42:28,680 --> 00:42:33,520
Speaker 1: so I I think Sean would It would have been close.

921
00:42:34,440 --> 00:42:37,200
Speaker 1: But I like Sean McDermott, I think as a good coach,

922
00:42:37,239 --> 00:42:41,720
Speaker 1: and and I always said this, it's not always the coach.

923
00:42:42,680 --> 00:42:45,720
Speaker 1: You know your your you play the cards you're dealt

924
00:42:46,160 --> 00:42:50,080
Speaker 1: sometimes and sometimes in the league you're not always co

925
00:42:50,160 --> 00:42:53,120
Speaker 1: pathetic with the guy maybe making the decision on players.

926
00:42:53,960 --> 00:42:56,239
Speaker 6: Well, you know a little something about the Browns organization.

927
00:42:56,560 --> 00:42:59,360
Speaker 4: So should Kevin Stefanski be thanking the good lord he

928
00:42:59,480 --> 00:43:00,560
Speaker 4: was fired Cleveland?

929
00:43:00,719 --> 00:43:04,400
Speaker 1: Yes, to go someplace else? Yes? Yes? No, I'm I mean,

930
00:43:04,640 --> 00:43:10,520
Speaker 1: I look at they yeah, yes, and then he's gonna

931
00:43:10,520 --> 00:43:13,000
Speaker 1: he's gonna get it. He's gonna be he's gonna right away,

932
00:43:12,880 --> 00:43:16,000
Speaker 1: he will be hired this now. Listen. Having said that

933
00:43:16,640 --> 00:43:19,319
Speaker 1: it hurts when they when they said goodbye to me

934
00:43:19,360 --> 00:43:22,600
Speaker 1: in Cleveland, that hurt, you know, and new owner and okay,

935
00:43:22,640 --> 00:43:25,960
Speaker 1: I got why they did it, but it still hurts,

936
00:43:26,520 --> 00:43:29,960
Speaker 1: and so the coaches. Unfortunately, I was never fired as

937
00:43:30,000 --> 00:43:33,520
Speaker 1: a coach. But it's tough, you know, it's tough.

938
00:43:33,840 --> 00:43:35,960
Speaker 2: You're one of the few people that have never well

939
00:43:36,080 --> 00:43:39,719
Speaker 2: that's incredible, by the way, nuts, but you were never

940
00:43:39,760 --> 00:43:40,479
Speaker 2: fired as a coach.

941
00:43:40,520 --> 00:43:42,480
Speaker 5: I assistant assistant coach.

942
00:43:42,360 --> 00:43:45,560
Speaker 1: Considering, no, considering all the times I screwed up.

943
00:43:46,160 --> 00:43:48,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, I've got them all documented right here in front

944
00:43:48,120 --> 00:43:48,880
Speaker 5: of you.

945
00:43:49,040 --> 00:43:51,400
Speaker 1: I believe you yelled at me one time in practice.

946
00:43:51,120 --> 00:43:53,440
Speaker 2: But you were never fired as an assistant coach. Is

947
00:43:53,440 --> 00:43:54,400
Speaker 2: that also correct?

948
00:43:54,600 --> 00:43:54,880
Speaker 1: Yes?

949
00:43:55,200 --> 00:43:57,799
Speaker 4: Wow, that's really I mean, that's put you in the

950
00:43:57,800 --> 00:43:58,720
Speaker 4: Hall of Fame right there?

951
00:43:58,960 --> 00:44:00,960
Speaker 2: Are you kidding me? When we do your hall of

952
00:44:01,000 --> 00:44:03,200
Speaker 2: Fame speech? He was never once fired in football?

953
00:44:03,239 --> 00:44:03,640
Speaker 1: Here he is.

00:44:03,680 --> 00:44:05,640
Speaker 5: You're a newest member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

955
00:44:05,680 --> 00:44:07,080
Speaker 5: Mike Hombre. Will you get two.

956
00:44:06,880 --> 00:44:09,080
Speaker 6: Coaches that were just fired this week.

957
00:44:09,160 --> 00:44:11,920
Speaker 4: Well, one quote unquote step down, and both of them

958
00:44:11,960 --> 00:44:13,320
Speaker 4: are Hall of Fame candidates.

959
00:44:13,400 --> 00:44:16,520
Speaker 5: That's right, that's right, that's right. Yeah, it's incredible.

960
00:44:16,560 --> 00:44:18,360
Speaker 2: Well, I'll just tell you this, if and when the

961
00:44:18,400 --> 00:44:20,799
Speaker 2: time comes when we have to let you go, we'll

962
00:44:20,880 --> 00:44:23,000
Speaker 2: let you decide how you want to do that.

963
00:44:23,239 --> 00:44:24,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, you won't care.

964
00:44:24,160 --> 00:44:25,880
Speaker 2: We'll get together behind the scenes if you want to

965
00:44:25,880 --> 00:44:28,239
Speaker 2: say you step down, we can give you that opportunity.

966
00:44:28,320 --> 00:44:30,440
Speaker 2: That's never going to happen, at least not on my watch, Dick,

967
00:44:30,480 --> 00:44:32,160
Speaker 2: and I will be gone by the time that happens.

968
00:44:32,160 --> 00:44:33,600
Speaker 2: But well, we just both want you to know that

969
00:44:33,600 --> 00:44:35,720
Speaker 2: we are concerned about your image and your efforts.

970
00:44:35,760 --> 00:44:37,520
Speaker 1: Well see, I'm not getting any younger yet.

971
00:44:37,640 --> 00:44:37,839
Speaker 5: Ah.

972
00:44:38,320 --> 00:44:40,400
Speaker 2: Well, Mike Homran's with us on the show here for

973
00:44:40,440 --> 00:44:42,520
Speaker 2: a few more minutes, and let's go back and talk

974
00:44:42,560 --> 00:44:44,839
Speaker 2: about this match up again on Saturday night. Man, I mean,

975
00:44:44,880 --> 00:44:48,000
Speaker 2: George Kittle is not going to play, obviously, Fred Warner

976
00:44:48,080 --> 00:44:50,560
Speaker 2: is not gonna play. We don't know about Pierce All yet, right, Dick,

977
00:44:50,600 --> 00:44:53,279
Speaker 2: we'll see his status for the game on Saturday. So

978
00:44:53,680 --> 00:44:56,319
Speaker 2: how much we had mooch on? Right, your old guy

979
00:44:56,360 --> 00:44:58,560
Speaker 2: Steve mary Ucci, and we asked him, how much can

980
00:44:58,640 --> 00:45:02,440
Speaker 2: the way the ninth were Let's face it, they were embarrassed.

981
00:45:02,680 --> 00:45:05,080
Speaker 2: When the opposing team has the ball for thirty eight minutes,

982
00:45:05,120 --> 00:45:07,160
Speaker 2: that's kind of a joke in the NFL for a

983
00:45:07,200 --> 00:45:09,719
Speaker 2: team to control the clock the way they did. How

984
00:45:09,800 --> 00:45:13,000
Speaker 2: much can the motivation of being pissed off and angry

985
00:45:13,040 --> 00:45:18,239
Speaker 2: tangibly really make up for some lost opportunities for San

986
00:45:18,280 --> 00:45:20,840
Speaker 2: Francisco from the last game in this game Saturday.

987
00:45:20,400 --> 00:45:23,560
Speaker 1: I would be shocked. I would be shocked if they

988
00:45:23,960 --> 00:45:27,880
Speaker 1: didn't use that to play better. You know, they they

989
00:45:27,880 --> 00:45:30,319
Speaker 1: didn't play very well, and you think back of that game,

990
00:45:30,760 --> 00:45:33,120
Speaker 1: they didn't do a lot of things very well. They're

991
00:45:33,120 --> 00:45:36,120
Speaker 1: gonna play better. Here here's my take on the game. Okay,

992
00:45:36,200 --> 00:45:40,720
Speaker 1: if you get if both teams play to their level,

993
00:45:41,080 --> 00:45:44,480
Speaker 1: the Seahawks will win. You know, because of injuries with

994
00:45:44,520 --> 00:45:50,000
Speaker 1: San Francisco and just think in certain key spots, Warner Bosa,

995
00:45:50,719 --> 00:45:55,640
Speaker 1: you know, Kittle, they're they're they're hurt, all right, But

996
00:45:55,880 --> 00:45:59,920
Speaker 1: if one team doesn't play as good as they should

997
00:46:00,360 --> 00:46:03,080
Speaker 1: and the other team plays to their level, that team

998
00:46:03,120 --> 00:46:05,760
Speaker 1: will win. I think it's going to be close, that close.

999
00:46:06,440 --> 00:46:07,839
Speaker 6: How much does the extra day matter.

1000
00:46:07,840 --> 00:46:09,920
Speaker 4: I mean, obviously the Seahawks have the extra week, but

1001
00:46:09,960 --> 00:46:12,400
Speaker 4: they also have an extra day and San Francisco is

1002
00:46:12,400 --> 00:46:14,239
Speaker 4: only a five days rest between the games.

1003
00:46:14,320 --> 00:46:17,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, that as long as they weren't hurt too much

1004
00:46:17,040 --> 00:46:20,319
Speaker 1: in the game. I'm the last kittle. I think the

1005
00:46:20,440 --> 00:46:23,120
Speaker 1: momentum and that shouldn't be too much of a factor.

1006
00:46:23,160 --> 00:46:27,480
Speaker 1: I don't think, right, you know, the extra time because

1007
00:46:27,480 --> 00:46:30,200
Speaker 1: of the buye. I think we talked about it last week.

1008
00:46:30,280 --> 00:46:32,360
Speaker 1: You can get you gotta be careful on how you

1009
00:46:32,440 --> 00:46:34,759
Speaker 1: time that, how you get them ready, so you don't

1010
00:46:34,840 --> 00:46:37,080
Speaker 1: get them ready to play the game on Thursday night

1011
00:46:37,120 --> 00:46:37,960
Speaker 1: instead of Saturday.

1012
00:46:38,120 --> 00:46:38,239
Speaker 8: Right.

1013
00:46:38,320 --> 00:46:41,000
Speaker 1: So, but again, I think Mike does a great job

1014
00:46:41,040 --> 00:46:41,239
Speaker 1: of that.

1015
00:46:41,480 --> 00:46:45,960
Speaker 2: So I'm looking at a quote here on Twitter from

1016
00:46:46,000 --> 00:46:48,839
Speaker 2: our buddy Grant Cohen, who comes on with us every

1017
00:46:48,840 --> 00:46:51,000
Speaker 2: now and then covers the Niners a bit of an attagonist,

1018
00:46:51,040 --> 00:46:51,719
Speaker 2: would you say that day?

1019
00:46:51,760 --> 00:46:53,399
Speaker 5: Yeah, that is not a fair word.

1020
00:46:54,480 --> 00:46:58,279
Speaker 2: And he's quoting the story on Darnold having an oblique injury.

1021
00:46:58,280 --> 00:47:00,319
Speaker 5: There's a reason why I'm bringing us up. I'llet to it.

1022
00:47:00,560 --> 00:47:03,399
Speaker 2: Frank Cohen says, in regards to Sam Donald's a league

1023
00:47:03,680 --> 00:47:06,520
Speaker 2: he couldn't even wait until kickoff to choke. Had to

1024
00:47:06,560 --> 00:47:10,160
Speaker 2: get it out of the way early, says Grant Cohen. Wow,

1025
00:47:10,360 --> 00:47:12,719
Speaker 2: now that might be just him pushing buttons a little bit,

1026
00:47:12,760 --> 00:47:15,000
Speaker 2: which is fine. But there is a little bit of

1027
00:47:15,040 --> 00:47:17,879
Speaker 2: that story for a lot and maybe for a lot

1028
00:47:17,920 --> 00:47:20,160
Speaker 2: of people that think it might be one of the

1029
00:47:20,160 --> 00:47:23,839
Speaker 2: bigger storylines of the weekend of the NFL. Will Sam

1030
00:47:23,960 --> 00:47:27,600
Speaker 2: Donald show up? Will he get this done? You're a

1031
00:47:27,680 --> 00:47:31,000
Speaker 2: next quarterback? If you're Sam Donald, are you thinking about

1032
00:47:31,040 --> 00:47:33,000
Speaker 2: any of that? Is that in the back of your mind?

1033
00:47:33,040 --> 00:47:34,960
Speaker 2: That all you think before this game Saturday.

1034
00:47:35,600 --> 00:47:39,320
Speaker 1: He's gonna put pressure on himself and that's never gonna change.

1035
00:47:39,400 --> 00:47:42,839
Speaker 1: I mean, that's how every quarterback that I've ever known

1036
00:47:43,520 --> 00:47:47,319
Speaker 1: or coach feels out a little bit, right, I think,

1037
00:47:47,360 --> 00:47:50,920
Speaker 1: although although it does open the can for all the

1038
00:47:51,000 --> 00:47:53,920
Speaker 1: people that were Sam Donald dowters.

1039
00:47:54,040 --> 00:47:56,920
Speaker 5: Yes, we call him haters by the ways.

1040
00:47:57,719 --> 00:48:00,840
Speaker 1: That Okay, oh now he's yeah, he is giving himself

1041
00:48:00,920 --> 00:48:04,160
Speaker 1: away out my old bleak and all that. I don't

1042
00:48:04,200 --> 00:48:04,480
Speaker 1: buy it.

1043
00:48:04,560 --> 00:48:05,239
Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't either.

1044
00:48:05,360 --> 00:48:09,200
Speaker 1: I don't either. I'm with you, but you know, we

1045
00:48:09,280 --> 00:48:11,920
Speaker 1: got to see I have I believe in him, So

1046
00:48:12,480 --> 00:48:13,600
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna do fine.

1047
00:48:13,680 --> 00:48:16,480
Speaker 4: I got some numbers to back up my weekly going

1048
00:48:16,560 --> 00:48:18,120
Speaker 4: for it on fourth down question for you.

1049
00:48:18,520 --> 00:48:20,640
Speaker 6: Great, all right, yeah, waiting for this. We talk about

1050
00:48:20,640 --> 00:48:21,200
Speaker 6: this each week.

1051
00:48:21,239 --> 00:48:24,400
Speaker 4: So this last weekend, Carolina oh for three on fourth

1052
00:48:24,440 --> 00:48:27,799
Speaker 4: down they lost by three points. Jaguars oh for one

1053
00:48:27,840 --> 00:48:30,560
Speaker 4: on fourth down. They did it at the Buffalo nine

1054
00:48:31,360 --> 00:48:33,960
Speaker 4: and didn't take the field goal. They lost by three points.

1055
00:48:34,360 --> 00:48:36,840
Speaker 4: The Bears went for it twice in the first half

1056
00:48:36,880 --> 00:48:38,799
Speaker 4: and missed them both. And guess what, they were down

1057
00:48:38,840 --> 00:48:41,320
Speaker 4: twenty one to three at halftime in the midst of that,

1058
00:48:41,360 --> 00:48:43,719
Speaker 4: and the Chargers went for it in a tie game

1059
00:48:43,800 --> 00:48:47,399
Speaker 4: didn't get it. When do you think the pendulum will

1060
00:48:47,400 --> 00:48:50,359
Speaker 4: swing back? Because everything's a pendulum, right, Do you think

1061
00:48:50,360 --> 00:48:53,960
Speaker 4: the pendulum will start to swing back towards sanity when

1062
00:48:54,040 --> 00:48:58,000
Speaker 4: you have playoff games being lost because of these decisions?

1063
00:48:58,080 --> 00:49:00,280
Speaker 1: You know what? I would hope so because I think

1064
00:49:00,680 --> 00:49:02,879
Speaker 1: and we again we've talked about it before. I think

1065
00:49:03,600 --> 00:49:05,680
Speaker 1: the decision to go for to kick a field goal

1066
00:49:05,760 --> 00:49:10,879
Speaker 1: or whatever, that's that. That's the head coach's decision at

1067
00:49:10,920 --> 00:49:14,320
Speaker 1: that particular time, and it should not be in my opinion,

1068
00:49:14,719 --> 00:49:17,320
Speaker 1: someone handy a slip of paper and say, this week's

1069
00:49:17,320 --> 00:49:20,160
Speaker 1: studied this. This is what you should do. You know,

1070
00:49:20,880 --> 00:49:23,640
Speaker 1: otherwise you know what's gonna happen next and during the.

1071
00:49:23,800 --> 00:49:26,160
Speaker 5: This AI Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, totally.

1072
00:49:26,440 --> 00:49:29,200
Speaker 1: Those guys in the upstairs room now, the analytical guys,

1073
00:49:29,600 --> 00:49:30,040
Speaker 1: they're gone.

1074
00:49:30,080 --> 00:49:31,239
Speaker 5: They'll be a replace. They're gone.

1075
00:49:31,320 --> 00:49:34,040
Speaker 1: We're gonna be They're gonna be robots up there hand

1076
00:49:34,080 --> 00:49:35,960
Speaker 1: in your little sleeps of paper.

1077
00:49:36,719 --> 00:49:40,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, just computer's coaching. I mean, Mike, I think that's coming.

1078
00:49:40,520 --> 00:49:43,320
Speaker 2: That's there's gonna be an owner one of these days.

1079
00:49:43,320 --> 00:49:45,919
Speaker 2: Maybe not in our lifetime or whatever, next twenty years,

1080
00:49:46,000 --> 00:49:48,360
Speaker 2: we'll just watch. Somebody is gonna be so gung ho

1081
00:49:48,480 --> 00:49:50,760
Speaker 2: about that that they will just let a computer program

1082
00:49:50,760 --> 00:49:53,440
Speaker 2: their football team on thousand percent gonna happen. Now, it

1083
00:49:53,440 --> 00:49:55,240
Speaker 2: may not happen to the NFL level. Maybe it starts

1084
00:49:55,239 --> 00:49:56,720
Speaker 2: off in Europe or whatever.

1085
00:49:56,800 --> 00:49:58,239
Speaker 5: I don't know. Somebody don't have like.

1086
00:49:58,160 --> 00:50:00,880
Speaker 6: A human manager like baseball, but the so play calling

1087
00:50:00,920 --> 00:50:01,279
Speaker 6: will be.

1088
00:50:01,280 --> 00:50:02,799
Speaker 1: Just I hope I'm a great grand father.

1089
00:50:02,840 --> 00:50:04,600
Speaker 5: They're doing they're doing it now.

1090
00:50:04,840 --> 00:50:06,759
Speaker 2: Like you said, if they're they're looking at a shirt,

1091
00:50:06,800 --> 00:50:08,880
Speaker 2: they're looking at the analytics or he says, do this,

1092
00:50:09,040 --> 00:50:11,160
Speaker 2: do that? What's the difference if it's on a piece

1093
00:50:11,160 --> 00:50:13,200
Speaker 2: of paper or comes out of a computer. Either way,

1094
00:50:13,239 --> 00:50:15,360
Speaker 2: it's coming out of a computer eventually, right, Yeah, but

1095
00:50:15,360 --> 00:50:16,200
Speaker 2: I think you're totally right.

1096
00:50:16,320 --> 00:50:18,160
Speaker 1: The thing is the guys who write down that number

1097
00:50:18,160 --> 00:50:20,520
Speaker 1: on the piece of paper, right, they have no idea

1098
00:50:21,040 --> 00:50:25,239
Speaker 1: what that situation will be in the game emotionally that

1099
00:50:25,640 --> 00:50:26,680
Speaker 1: that particular time.

1100
00:50:26,760 --> 00:50:31,000
Speaker 2: Well when when when when Dick was asking about the schedule, Uh,

1101
00:50:31,080 --> 00:50:34,280
Speaker 2: the first thing I thought of is the Niners fans

1102
00:50:34,320 --> 00:50:37,239
Speaker 2: bitching about having to play on Saturday. Kyle Shanahan came

1103
00:50:37,239 --> 00:50:39,319
Speaker 2: out after the game with the Eagles last week and said,

1104
00:50:39,320 --> 00:50:41,320
Speaker 2: if the NFL's night still, let us play on Sunday.

1105
00:50:41,440 --> 00:50:43,000
Speaker 2: So he's already kind of thinking about it. You know,

1106
00:50:43,120 --> 00:50:45,560
Speaker 2: the NFL is not nice apparently because they're playing on Saturday.

1107
00:50:45,800 --> 00:50:48,319
Speaker 2: How honestly pissed off would you be if you're Kyle

1108
00:50:48,360 --> 00:50:51,759
Speaker 2: Shanahan that the Seahawks have a bye. You played on

1109
00:50:51,800 --> 00:50:53,560
Speaker 2: the East Coast, Now you gotta come home and play

1110
00:50:53,560 --> 00:50:55,200
Speaker 2: this game on a Saturday night in Seattle.

1111
00:50:55,239 --> 00:50:56,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, I did bother me a little bit.

1112
00:50:56,600 --> 00:50:58,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, we can talk about it publicly.

1113
00:50:58,920 --> 00:51:01,600
Speaker 1: I do it on the competition any right, but not

1114
00:51:01,719 --> 00:51:03,480
Speaker 1: with the media. No, not with the media, right, but

1115
00:51:03,760 --> 00:51:07,760
Speaker 1: it would be because I just think it makes some sense.

1116
00:51:08,160 --> 00:51:10,799
Speaker 1: It reminded me when they set the schedule and all

1117
00:51:10,840 --> 00:51:12,879
Speaker 1: of a sudden, you're a West Coast team and you're

1118
00:51:12,920 --> 00:51:14,560
Speaker 1: playing all these games on the East Coast and then

1119
00:51:14,560 --> 00:51:17,799
Speaker 1: you got a shortened, shortened day. That doesn't make any sense.

1120
00:51:17,960 --> 00:51:19,880
Speaker 1: Why were they making us do that? You know?

1121
00:51:20,000 --> 00:51:20,080
Speaker 8: So?

1122
00:51:21,680 --> 00:51:26,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I would not I would not talk about that, sure, sure,

1123
00:51:26,600 --> 00:51:28,000
Speaker 1: but I talk about it in house.

1124
00:51:28,200 --> 00:51:31,239
Speaker 2: And they just did it for Week eighteen, right, See, Yawks,

1125
00:51:31,239 --> 00:51:32,960
Speaker 2: I had to come back from Carolina and play on

1126
00:51:32,960 --> 00:51:34,400
Speaker 2: a Saturday. They could they could have put that game

1127
00:51:34,440 --> 00:51:36,880
Speaker 2: on Startay night football. They did You hear Mike McDonald

1128
00:51:36,920 --> 00:51:37,520
Speaker 2: bitching about it?

1129
00:51:37,520 --> 00:51:41,080
Speaker 5: No, of course not. No coach, losers, all of them,

1130
00:51:41,120 --> 00:51:42,959
Speaker 5: Mike bums coach.

1131
00:51:43,000 --> 00:51:44,200
Speaker 6: What's going on with the Rams?

1132
00:51:44,520 --> 00:51:47,840
Speaker 4: Are they still just right there with the Hawks like

1133
00:51:47,880 --> 00:51:49,800
Speaker 4: we've thought they were forever?

1134
00:51:50,120 --> 00:51:52,839
Speaker 5: Or are you seeing some kinks in the armor here?

1135
00:51:54,080 --> 00:51:57,120
Speaker 1: Well, the last couple of games they've the last few games,

1136
00:51:57,120 --> 00:51:59,920
Speaker 1: I've seen little kinks in the armor in decision making,

1137
00:52:00,800 --> 00:52:05,000
Speaker 1: you know the the and then you know Stafford in

1138
00:52:05,040 --> 00:52:08,040
Speaker 1: that game, we just saw he was lights out in

1139
00:52:08,080 --> 00:52:09,880
Speaker 1: the first half, second half of all of a sudden happened.

1140
00:52:09,880 --> 00:52:11,759
Speaker 1: Maybe it was his finger that he got hurt. I

1141
00:52:11,840 --> 00:52:16,400
Speaker 1: don't know, but you know they're there. Haven't been as consistent.

1142
00:52:17,280 --> 00:52:20,919
Speaker 1: They are talented. Now getting their receiver back will help,

1143
00:52:21,120 --> 00:52:25,200
Speaker 1: you know, Avantie Adams so uh and they have really

1144
00:52:26,400 --> 00:52:29,799
Speaker 1: is really really good. Yeah, they're a good football team

1145
00:52:29,840 --> 00:52:32,640
Speaker 1: and they can score points. The thing now with playing

1146
00:52:32,680 --> 00:52:35,080
Speaker 1: the Bears, and the Bears have been out of sight,

1147
00:52:36,080 --> 00:52:38,759
Speaker 1: you know, fortunate, but now they play in Chicago. It's

1148
00:52:38,760 --> 00:52:40,080
Speaker 1: gonna be really cold, so we'll see.

1149
00:52:40,200 --> 00:52:43,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm looking at a picture of the weather and

1150
00:52:43,160 --> 00:52:44,919
Speaker 5: just says that there's an igloo is what it says.

1151
00:52:45,640 --> 00:52:46,840
Speaker 1: It's going to freeze and cold.

1152
00:52:47,160 --> 00:52:48,960
Speaker 5: What does that mean for the Rams? Honestly?

1153
00:52:48,960 --> 00:52:52,320
Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, Stafford's played outdoors before with the Lions,

1154
00:52:52,360 --> 00:52:54,040
Speaker 2: But what about the rest of the team that plays,

1155
00:52:54,080 --> 00:52:56,040
Speaker 2: you know, at so Fi Stadium and all that, And

1156
00:52:56,360 --> 00:52:57,920
Speaker 2: is that going to be a factor? You think that

1157
00:52:57,960 --> 00:52:59,600
Speaker 2: could be a huge detriment to the Rams.

1158
00:52:59,600 --> 00:53:02,000
Speaker 1: On the last time I played a game like that,

1159
00:53:02,040 --> 00:53:04,840
Speaker 1: we played the Raiders in Green Bay. They were in

1160
00:53:04,840 --> 00:53:08,000
Speaker 1: Los Angeles the time. Okay, the famous quote from Howie

1161
00:53:08,000 --> 00:53:12,000
Speaker 1: long after the game to me, Mike, I didn't think

1162
00:53:12,000 --> 00:53:13,600
Speaker 1: I was coming out for the second half.

1163
00:53:16,000 --> 00:53:16,839
Speaker 5: Did you win that game?

1164
00:53:16,960 --> 00:53:20,399
Speaker 1: Yeah? We did badly win a big They were good

1165
00:53:20,440 --> 00:53:22,279
Speaker 1: and we won it pretty big. Yeah.

1166
00:53:22,320 --> 00:53:24,320
Speaker 2: I mean, do you buy that the weather could actually

1167
00:53:24,320 --> 00:53:26,799
Speaker 2: be the difference between the Rams winning and losing that game?

1168
00:53:26,880 --> 00:53:28,680
Speaker 1: I think? So, okay, bus Building.

1169
00:53:28,560 --> 00:53:31,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, well let's go make a cold. Absolutely.

1170
00:53:32,000 --> 00:53:34,400
Speaker 4: What do you think about What do you think about Denver?

1171
00:53:34,800 --> 00:53:35,760
Speaker 6: Denver's chances?

1172
00:53:35,960 --> 00:53:39,000
Speaker 1: You know, I don't know Denver very much at all.

1173
00:53:39,040 --> 00:53:42,120
Speaker 1: I have a tremendous respect for Sean Bayton, and he's

1174
00:53:42,120 --> 00:53:45,560
Speaker 1: done a great job with that quarterback Nicks and they

1175
00:53:45,560 --> 00:53:47,640
Speaker 1: have a but I don't know the players that well.

1176
00:53:47,760 --> 00:53:50,919
Speaker 1: You know Buffalo though, Yeah, I know Buffalo. Yeah, he's

1177
00:53:50,960 --> 00:53:53,600
Speaker 1: fun to watch. Oh, I mean, they're fun to watch

1178
00:53:53,640 --> 00:53:54,280
Speaker 1: on offense.

1179
00:53:54,040 --> 00:53:55,600
Speaker 4: How would you like a quarterback where you can just

1180
00:53:55,600 --> 00:53:57,480
Speaker 4: snap the ball and shotgun and just know that he

1181
00:53:57,600 --> 00:53:58,439
Speaker 4: just runs straight ahead.

1182
00:53:58,480 --> 00:53:59,879
Speaker 6: He's gonna get four yards every time?

1183
00:54:00,120 --> 00:54:02,240
Speaker 1: Remember the remember the quarterback sneak?

1184
00:54:02,440 --> 00:54:04,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, the turkey goes seven yards.

1185
00:54:04,560 --> 00:54:07,439
Speaker 1: Yeah, I thought you scored. I turn a round. Well.

1186
00:54:07,480 --> 00:54:11,320
Speaker 2: The thing about Buffalo, though, first of all, there's two questions.

1187
00:54:11,560 --> 00:54:13,560
Speaker 2: The one question I had in that game, the Jaguar

1188
00:54:13,600 --> 00:54:15,920
Speaker 2: game in particularly, you're talking about when he got to

1189
00:54:16,000 --> 00:54:19,239
Speaker 2: the one yard line on that snow, would you have

1190
00:54:19,360 --> 00:54:22,479
Speaker 2: thought about taking a knee and running a little more

1191
00:54:22,560 --> 00:54:24,760
Speaker 2: clock because there was a bucko two on the clock

1192
00:54:24,840 --> 00:54:25,759
Speaker 2: at that point in time.

1193
00:54:25,880 --> 00:54:28,080
Speaker 5: Jackson goes now out of timeouts, right, Dick yep.

1194
00:54:28,120 --> 00:54:31,000
Speaker 2: So Josh Allen takes a knee and they can run

1195
00:54:31,000 --> 00:54:33,960
Speaker 2: the thing all the way down to twenty seconds and

1196
00:54:34,000 --> 00:54:36,200
Speaker 2: then have three shots from the one and a half

1197
00:54:36,280 --> 00:54:38,840
Speaker 2: yard line with Josh Allen to get the ball in

1198
00:54:38,840 --> 00:54:39,279
Speaker 2: the end zone.

1199
00:54:39,320 --> 00:54:40,480
Speaker 5: What you thought about doing that?

1200
00:54:41,080 --> 00:54:43,479
Speaker 1: People can talk about that who were watching the game.

1201
00:54:44,080 --> 00:54:47,080
Speaker 1: The quarterback in that situation, yeah, is not thinking. That's

1202
00:54:47,160 --> 00:54:47,839
Speaker 1: not what he's thinking.

1203
00:54:48,719 --> 00:54:51,080
Speaker 2: I'm talking about. If you're a McDermott, do you say

1204
00:54:51,120 --> 00:54:52,600
Speaker 2: I want you to take a knee on first down?

1205
00:54:52,760 --> 00:54:54,600
Speaker 2: I know we have four shots to get the touchdown here,

1206
00:54:54,640 --> 00:54:57,240
Speaker 2: but I'm gonna I feel comfortable enough with you getting

1207
00:54:57,239 --> 00:54:59,880
Speaker 2: a sneak on second, third, or fourth down.

1208
00:55:00,000 --> 00:55:01,760
Speaker 5: But I'm gonna let you take a knee and run clock.

1209
00:55:01,840 --> 00:55:04,719
Speaker 1: Yeah. I don't think he Well, he may have, you

1210
00:55:04,760 --> 00:55:08,720
Speaker 1: know what, I don't think anyone expected that to happen.

1211
00:55:08,840 --> 00:55:11,759
Speaker 1: What happened, right, So I don't think they had that conversation.

1212
00:55:12,360 --> 00:55:14,600
Speaker 1: Just get the first down, get the first down. That's

1213
00:55:14,880 --> 00:55:15,520
Speaker 1: that's what we're thinking.

1214
00:55:15,560 --> 00:55:17,200
Speaker 5: Get the touchdown, get the touchdown.

1215
00:55:17,280 --> 00:55:18,360
Speaker 1: No, get the first down.

1216
00:55:18,280 --> 00:55:20,279
Speaker 5: Right, But I'm saying on the long sneak where he

1217
00:55:20,360 --> 00:55:22,759
Speaker 5: was down at the one yard line, no, right, no,

1218
00:55:22,840 --> 00:55:26,239
Speaker 5: that's not no, Okay, all right, you go coach.

1219
00:55:26,280 --> 00:55:30,160
Speaker 4: The Texans haven't lost since November the second, but they

1220
00:55:30,160 --> 00:55:34,239
Speaker 4: were very unimpressive offensively. Now went over over Pittsburgh, So

1221
00:55:34,520 --> 00:55:36,640
Speaker 4: what do you give? What's their chances in New England?

1222
00:55:37,239 --> 00:55:37,640
Speaker 5: One minute?

1223
00:55:37,640 --> 00:55:39,759
Speaker 1: By the way, I think they're great. Their defense is

1224
00:55:39,840 --> 00:55:43,160
Speaker 1: really solid and really good. And if their quarterback plays.

1225
00:55:43,480 --> 00:55:45,239
Speaker 1: That's why I said about Sam Darnold or any of

1226
00:55:45,280 --> 00:55:49,279
Speaker 1: the quarterbacks, the quarterbacks will decide who wins the game.

1227
00:55:50,040 --> 00:55:52,600
Speaker 1: There would be good defenses, good receivers, all that kind

1228
00:55:52,600 --> 00:55:56,239
Speaker 1: of stuff, but whatever quarterback really steps up, those are

1229
00:55:56,239 --> 00:55:58,560
Speaker 1: the teams are gonna win. Yeah, and then c J.

1230
00:55:58,680 --> 00:56:00,120
