Thanks for 18 00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:53,159 Speaker 4: joining us. 19 00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:57,040 Speaker 5: Guys, it's great to be with you. Just a great 20 00:00:57,040 --> 00:01:00,680 Speaker 5: time of the year. It's the holidays, French time in 21 00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:03,920 Speaker 5: the NFL playoffs are right on the corner and I 22 00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:05,640 Speaker 5: can't wait for the next couple of weeks. 23 00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:08,279 Speaker 4: Amen, And I'm gonna just throw it out to you, 24 00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:12,520 Speaker 4: and from a general sense the entire twenty twenty five season, 25 00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:16,320 Speaker 4: what is top of mind for you as to what 26 00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:18,199 Speaker 4: you've been seeing in the NFL this year? 27 00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:22,840 Speaker 5: I think you and I, you and I talk about this. 28 00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:27,400 Speaker 5: I just think the overall level of play, and especially 29 00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:31,560 Speaker 5: from an offensive perspective, is down. And you say, well, 30 00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:33,600 Speaker 5: why and not adapt? But I think you just look 31 00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:36,000 Speaker 5: at the records. I mean, how many bad teams. I 32 00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:38,160 Speaker 5: think I was looking at some numbers last week. We've 33 00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:41,840 Speaker 5: got a dozen teams with yeah, a dozen teams that 34 00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:44,880 Speaker 5: losing records. I think fourteen teams that losing records, and 35 00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:47,160 Speaker 5: like a dozen teams that are around five hundred. I mean, 36 00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:49,160 Speaker 5: you know, so many bad football teams out there. You 37 00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:52,560 Speaker 5: look at the Dolphins and Jets, and you know the Bengals. 38 00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:55,080 Speaker 5: You know at five and ten they missed Joe Burrow 39 00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:57,840 Speaker 5: and the defense is horrible. The Browns. You look at 40 00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:01,320 Speaker 5: the Titans and it's unwatchable football Raiders at two and thirteen. 41 00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:04,000 Speaker 5: I mean that's just the AFC. You look at the 42 00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:08,240 Speaker 5: NFC the Commanders four wins, Giants have two wins. The 43 00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:12,200 Speaker 5: Vikings are below five hundred, the Falcons and Saints as well, 44 00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:14,520 Speaker 5: and even the Buccaneers are seventy eight. I mean, it's 45 00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:17,000 Speaker 5: a lot of the Cardinals are three and twelve. I mean, 46 00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:19,680 Speaker 5: it's a lot of really bad football teams out there. 47 00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:21,040 Speaker 5: And then you know, on the other side of it, 48 00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:23,680 Speaker 5: you got a handful of teams that are doing it 49 00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:25,880 Speaker 5: the right way. So, you know, I just think that 50 00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:28,359 Speaker 5: there's been so much turnover in our business. We've had 51 00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:31,639 Speaker 5: thirty five coaches get fired in the last five seasons, 52 00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:33,799 Speaker 5: seven a year. We already fired two this year. We'll 53 00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:36,240 Speaker 5: fire another five before it's all said and done. So 54 00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:39,480 Speaker 5: much turnover with the coordinators and play colors. You look 55 00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:42,000 Speaker 5: at how it's affecting the young quarterbacks, and this drives 56 00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:45,120 Speaker 5: me crazy. I watched the Vikings and Giants game the 57 00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:49,960 Speaker 5: other day and both quarterbacks clearly don't understand protections. It's unbelievable. 58 00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:52,680 Speaker 5: He just just watched these games and you see guys 59 00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:54,720 Speaker 5: come off the edge and the quarterbacks don't see it. 60 00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:59,840 Speaker 5: Those two quarterbacks. You look at Jackson Darton J McCarthy 61 00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:02,560 Speaker 5: that more time this year in the Blue ten than 62 00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:05,640 Speaker 5: any of the quarterback in the league. It's crazy, but 63 00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:08,440 Speaker 5: it's just it is what it is. There's some good players, 64 00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:10,560 Speaker 5: there's some good coaches, but there's a lot of very 65 00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:13,919 Speaker 5: very mediocre football at best. 66 00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:17,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, Rich Cannon with us. Rich, it's Dave Mahler and 67 00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:21,120 Speaker 3: I wonder if you've stumbled upon something. And I'm sure 68 00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:23,680 Speaker 3: that all you smart guys are the thirty third team. 69 00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:26,919 Speaker 3: I've already talked about this, but because of the lack 70 00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:31,119 Speaker 3: of quality football around parts of the NFL, has that 71 00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:35,200 Speaker 3: guys maybe contributed rich to the resurgence of some of 72 00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:39,760 Speaker 3: these quarterbacks Baker Mayfield, Sam Darnold, Gino Smith up until 73 00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:44,600 Speaker 3: this year. Daniel Jones that because there's such a a 74 00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:50,000 Speaker 3: lower class of play from certain organizations that guys like 75 00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:54,120 Speaker 3: that have been given chances at second and third opportunities 76 00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:55,480 Speaker 3: that never would have been there before. 77 00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:59,120 Speaker 5: Well, I think there's very two quarterbacks that can come 78 00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:01,440 Speaker 5: into our game have immediate success. I mean, I think 79 00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:03,680 Speaker 5: you look at Damn Marino. I mean, you know, he's 80 00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:06,520 Speaker 5: a he's a rare exception, but I mean most people, 81 00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:08,960 Speaker 5: you know go to adversity. I mean, you and I 82 00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:11,240 Speaker 5: dealt with it. I think you look at Peyton Manning, 83 00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:13,040 Speaker 5: he went three and thirteen in his first year and 84 00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:15,400 Speaker 5: two more inceptions and touchdowns. Now didn't take him long 85 00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:18,400 Speaker 5: to figure it out. But you mentioned Baker Mayfield and 86 00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:20,919 Speaker 5: Sam Darnold. I mean, I think they're great examples of 87 00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:25,000 Speaker 5: guys that went to some bad teams weren't surrounded by 88 00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:27,640 Speaker 5: a great I always say when you evaluate the quarterback, 89 00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:29,560 Speaker 5: it's not just the quarterback, but you got to so 90 00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:31,640 Speaker 5: much say what happens at that position is impacted by 91 00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:33,560 Speaker 5: what's going on around him. I think when you look 92 00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:37,480 Speaker 5: at those situations, you know, the coaching staffs were turned over, 93 00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:40,400 Speaker 5: they fired the you know, head coach of the coordinator 94 00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:42,760 Speaker 5: of the first season. They both want to kind of 95 00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:46,359 Speaker 5: dysfunctional situations, and both of them came out on the 96 00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:47,880 Speaker 5: other end. You know, it took them a while. You know, 97 00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:49,760 Speaker 5: both of them had a bounce around the number of 98 00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:52,440 Speaker 5: different teams. But I think they're different players, and I 99 00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:54,640 Speaker 5: think there's a lot to be said for experience at 100 00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:58,120 Speaker 5: that position. I think physical mental toughness is really important. 101 00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:00,240 Speaker 5: I think both exude that. You know, I think you 102 00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:02,040 Speaker 5: have to have it. You know you're going to deal 103 00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:04,880 Speaker 5: with adversity at some point or another, you know, during 104 00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:08,120 Speaker 5: a season during your career, and I think both quarterbacks 105 00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:09,200 Speaker 5: are better because of it. 106 00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:12,760 Speaker 4: Rich Cannon with this and Rich we're going to drill 107 00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:15,320 Speaker 4: down on Sam Darnald here in a second. But but 108 00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:18,320 Speaker 4: I think that there's there's lessons from your career because 109 00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:21,599 Speaker 4: here you played seventeen years, you started a Super Bowl, 110 00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:26,760 Speaker 4: and yet your four Pro Bowls they started at age 111 00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:29,960 Speaker 4: thirty four, thirty four, thirty five, thirty six, thirty seven. 112 00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:32,680 Speaker 4: You're the MVP of the league at age thirty seven. 113 00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:36,680 Speaker 4: So what is it about? Because obviously Sea our fans 114 00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:39,240 Speaker 4: we're interested in in you know, what we're going to 115 00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:42,960 Speaker 4: get from Sam Darnald potentially. What was it about your 116 00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:46,960 Speaker 4: career where you say, okay, I had my best productivity 117 00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:47,799 Speaker 4: in my mid thirties. 118 00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:51,920 Speaker 5: Well, I think every situation is different. I would tell 119 00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:54,120 Speaker 5: you that I really didn't go to a good situation 120 00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:56,279 Speaker 5: early on. I wasn't ready to play when I came 121 00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:59,320 Speaker 5: to college out of Delaware, and I had a lot 122 00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:02,760 Speaker 5: to learn to in terms of protections and footwork and concepts. 123 00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:06,080 Speaker 5: And I went to a team in Minnesota that you know, 124 00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:09,120 Speaker 5: we had a lot of turnover they fired coaches, fired coordinators. 125 00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:11,200 Speaker 5: I had three or four different coordinator coordinators in my 126 00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:13,960 Speaker 5: first four season or six seasons in the league. And 127 00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:16,000 Speaker 5: the other thing I never had was somebody who really 128 00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:18,840 Speaker 5: believed in me. And here you know how important that is, 129 00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:22,240 Speaker 5: Like it really didn't happen for me until I was 130 00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:26,760 Speaker 5: about thirty three years old, you know where Giant Gruden 131 00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:29,440 Speaker 5: reached out and stuck his neck out for me and 132 00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:32,320 Speaker 5: convinced South Davis that they should sign me. And when 133 00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:35,080 Speaker 5: I had that relationship with John and he believed in me, 134 00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:37,440 Speaker 5: that that made a world of difference to me. I 135 00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:39,280 Speaker 5: didn't have it in Kansas City. I played some good 136 00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:41,240 Speaker 5: ball for Marti Shining, but it was never my team. 137 00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:43,320 Speaker 5: You know. I was always taken over for Elvis Skirbach 138 00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:46,760 Speaker 5: or Steve Bono. It wasn't my team. But when you 139 00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:48,880 Speaker 5: get your team, you get your opportunity, you make the 140 00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:50,400 Speaker 5: most of it. I did that with the Raiders. I 141 00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:52,880 Speaker 5: left at a better place than I founded. But yeah, 142 00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:55,640 Speaker 5: I think every situation is different. I think you talk about, 143 00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:58,080 Speaker 5: you know, somebody like a Sam Donald, I think when 144 00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:00,280 Speaker 5: he looks back on his career with the Jets, and 145 00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:02,720 Speaker 5: you know, he'd probably know anybotter, but he thought to himself, man, 146 00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:05,320 Speaker 5: I can't believe I survived that. Go to Carolina, a 147 00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:07,440 Speaker 5: brand new coach for inst time coach in Matt role. 148 00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:09,360 Speaker 5: He wasn't ready for the opportunity, hard to first time 149 00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:11,360 Speaker 5: play caller and Joe Brady. I mean, the whole thing 150 00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:14,640 Speaker 5: was a mess. And he sits there and he you know, 151 00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:17,040 Speaker 5: he gets the brunt of the of the criticism, and 152 00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:19,720 Speaker 5: I just think that that's pretty typical and a lot. 153 00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:22,160 Speaker 5: It ruins a lot of players, but the ones that 154 00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:24,760 Speaker 5: survive are better for it. I didn't think Sam Donald's 155 00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:28,760 Speaker 5: a much different player. I've had great conversations with John 156 00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:31,480 Speaker 5: Schneider the GM there, and they love him. They love 157 00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:35,200 Speaker 5: everything about him. His physical, mental toughness is his work ethic, 158 00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:39,400 Speaker 5: his passion, his preparation, you know, his leadership skills, and 159 00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:41,520 Speaker 5: I just look at you know, that game the other 160 00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:43,640 Speaker 5: the other day was a great you know, last week 161 00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:45,760 Speaker 5: was a great example of it. I mean, you know, 162 00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:48,400 Speaker 5: they they come back from a sixteen point deficit. You 163 00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:50,800 Speaker 5: look at his numbers and the crunch time, he was terrific. 164 00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:53,600 Speaker 5: I mean it may not always be picture perfect with 165 00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:55,960 Speaker 5: Sam Donald, but he found a way to put his 166 00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:57,720 Speaker 5: team that positions have a chance to winning. Tweet that 167 00:07:57,760 --> 00:07:59,160 Speaker 5: I think that's a sign of a good quarterback. 168 00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:01,280 Speaker 2: We'll talk more of Sam rich if you can. 169 00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:04,000 Speaker 3: Rich gain in two thousand and two, NFL MVP is 170 00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:07,200 Speaker 3: with us and look clear upgrade obviously from what we 171 00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:09,320 Speaker 3: had a year ago and versus what we have now 172 00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:12,320 Speaker 3: in Sam Donald. But there is a segment of the 173 00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:15,880 Speaker 3: Seahawk population and the segment of the NFL population that 174 00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:18,480 Speaker 3: is waiting for Sam Darnald to win a playoff game 175 00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:21,480 Speaker 3: or to fall flat on his face. For those that 176 00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:24,880 Speaker 3: say things like, hey, go out and win a big game, Sammy, 177 00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:27,520 Speaker 3: what do you say to them. 178 00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:30,480 Speaker 5: Well, they're right. I mean, I'm not gonna lie to you. 179 00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:32,360 Speaker 5: I mean, you know, the proof isn't a pudding. I mean, 180 00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:35,280 Speaker 5: there's there's that concern. You know. It certainly was with 181 00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:38,480 Speaker 5: the Rams and the struggle last year and you know 182 00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:40,480 Speaker 5: late in the year, and I just think the postseason 183 00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:42,560 Speaker 5: and people want to see it. Right, you have to 184 00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:45,200 Speaker 5: you have to earn your stripes in this profession. I 185 00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:47,079 Speaker 5: do know this. I did a lot of his games 186 00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:49,040 Speaker 5: when he was in with the Jets ear in his career, 187 00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:52,000 Speaker 5: and the problem he had was he really goes back 188 00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:54,679 Speaker 5: to his day at USC, he had thirty seven turnovers 189 00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:57,440 Speaker 5: in twenty six games. He was he was careless with 190 00:08:57,480 --> 00:08:59,479 Speaker 5: the ball in the pocket. It wasn't just the interceptions, 191 00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:02,480 Speaker 5: it was know it was that poor ball security. That 192 00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:05,320 Speaker 5: that that followed him to the Jets. He was bad 193 00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:07,319 Speaker 5: with that there and he got away with it and 194 00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:09,320 Speaker 5: they kept playing him and then never sat him down 195 00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:12,000 Speaker 5: and goes to Carolina the same thing. I think the situation. 196 00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:14,280 Speaker 5: I think the opportunity to go to the San Francisco 197 00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:16,440 Speaker 5: forty nine ers and spend a year there was great. 198 00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:19,360 Speaker 5: Going to Minnesota Kevin O'Connell was really, you know, great 199 00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:22,520 Speaker 5: opportunity to play and to really hone his skills. And 200 00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:24,800 Speaker 5: I think I think he's a much he's a more 201 00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:27,880 Speaker 5: mature player. I think he understands the position better. I 202 00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:31,600 Speaker 5: think he understands protections better. I think he understands defenses. 203 00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:33,520 Speaker 5: I don't think he's as a surprise and the game 204 00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:35,719 Speaker 5: is slow down for him. I think he's got a 205 00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:38,000 Speaker 5: much better job of protecting the ball. Now. It hasn't 206 00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:40,080 Speaker 5: always been perfect. You know, he's throwing some picks and 207 00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:41,520 Speaker 5: he's you know, he's put the ball on the ground. 208 00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:44,320 Speaker 5: But I think he's a he's a better player, and 209 00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:46,680 Speaker 5: I think he's a resilient guy. I think he's a 210 00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:48,360 Speaker 5: guy that he can go in the foxhol with and 211 00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:51,760 Speaker 5: feel really good about. And I just know that I 212 00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:54,840 Speaker 5: think he I think he understands who he is, and 213 00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:57,200 Speaker 5: I think he understands the team that he has around him, 214 00:09:57,200 --> 00:09:59,640 Speaker 5: which is really important. I mean you look at that 215 00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:03,240 Speaker 5: that that team there, and they're disciplined, they don't make 216 00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:06,880 Speaker 5: a lot of mistakes. They play great team ball. I 217 00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:11,520 Speaker 5: mean defensively, they tackle well, they play situational football really well. 218 00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:14,400 Speaker 5: They can run the ball with Walker and Charbonnet. I 219 00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:16,920 Speaker 5: mean they've got players on the perimeter. They've got Jackson, 220 00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:19,160 Speaker 5: Smith and Jig. But I mean they got this. Shaheat 221 00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:21,240 Speaker 5: has made a world of difference, guys. Just in the 222 00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:25,360 Speaker 5: return game. Yes, we think about that that that play. 223 00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:29,600 Speaker 5: That play was a transformational play and that game was 224 00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:32,120 Speaker 5: really over until Shaheat brings it back at the two 225 00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:34,480 Speaker 5: point converge and now of a sudden, the sidelines is 226 00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:36,679 Speaker 5: different in Seattle. They got a chance to win the game. 227 00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:39,200 Speaker 5: I tell you this, this is a this is a 228 00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:41,360 Speaker 5: dangerous team. Don't thinknybody wants to see the Seahawks in 229 00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:42,600 Speaker 5: the postseason. 230 00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:45,280 Speaker 4: Ris Cannon with us having a great visit. 231 00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:45,839 Speaker 5: Rich. 232 00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:48,079 Speaker 4: You mentioned that game. Let's let's go back to that. 233 00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:53,199 Speaker 4: From the Darnold perspective. He throws the two gnarly interceptions, right, 234 00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:57,040 Speaker 4: and at that juncture, you know, his passer rating for 235 00:10:57,120 --> 00:11:00,640 Speaker 4: the game was fifty one. From that point on after 236 00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:03,200 Speaker 4: the second pick, you know, on the into the fourth 237 00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:05,679 Speaker 4: quarter in overtime, his passer rating was one hundred and 238 00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:09,880 Speaker 4: thirty seven. So he was able to kind of, you know, 239 00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:13,160 Speaker 4: just set that aside what he had done and then 240 00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:16,080 Speaker 4: play great football to get the win. Talk to us 241 00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:21,079 Speaker 4: about the challenge of that. As a quarterback, you've let 242 00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:24,200 Speaker 4: your team down. You know, we'd love to come into 243 00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:27,040 Speaker 4: every game and you know, hey, start hot, remain hot, 244 00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:29,600 Speaker 4: throw for three hund and forty yards, we win, hallelujah. 245 00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:31,880 Speaker 4: But it doesn't always play that way, and you've got 246 00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:33,600 Speaker 4: to make the plays at the end, even if you've 247 00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:37,600 Speaker 4: failed during that game. Just just speak it from your 248 00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:40,200 Speaker 4: perspective about that challenge. 249 00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:43,880 Speaker 5: I think it was really impressive, just as you point out, 250 00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:46,559 Speaker 5: you I mean, when you consider the history, right, he 251 00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:48,880 Speaker 5: had a four game losing threak against the Ramsy threw 252 00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:51,560 Speaker 5: four interceptions in the game early in the season against 253 00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:53,160 Speaker 5: this team, and I think it he throws some more 254 00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:55,440 Speaker 5: and even I would say, oh, here we go again. 255 00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:57,640 Speaker 5: You know, I think it's easy for the sidelines to 256 00:11:57,640 --> 00:11:59,679 Speaker 5: start feeling that way. The coach is the play caller. 257 00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:02,160 Speaker 5: And yet they fought through it. He thought through it, 258 00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:05,439 Speaker 5: as you mentioned, you know, and at the end there 259 00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:08,040 Speaker 5: when when they had to have it, Uh, he was awesome. 260 00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:10,280 Speaker 5: He's eight to twelve. He had two passing touchdowns, no 261 00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:12,840 Speaker 5: no turnovers. The final five drives of the game. He 262 00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:15,040 Speaker 5: played really, really well. But I think the other thing 263 00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:16,600 Speaker 5: you look at is, you know, that was his ninth 264 00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:18,800 Speaker 5: game winning drive in the fourth quarter or overtime in 265 00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:21,000 Speaker 5: the last two seasons. He had five total in his 266 00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:23,680 Speaker 5: career prior to that. I think he's a much better 267 00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:25,160 Speaker 5: player late in the game when it when it when 268 00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:28,080 Speaker 5: you when you got to have it at crunch time, situationally, 269 00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:30,640 Speaker 5: and I just think, you know, he's a resilient I mean, 270 00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:32,840 Speaker 5: I don't think he panics. I don't think when bad 271 00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:35,000 Speaker 5: things happen you're going to lose him for the day. 272 00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:37,839 Speaker 5: I think the ability to fight to adversity to kind 273 00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:39,600 Speaker 5: of you know, get to get the train back on 274 00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:42,839 Speaker 5: the tracks. It was impressive and I think I think 275 00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:45,280 Speaker 5: when that happens and people see it, and you see 276 00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:47,360 Speaker 5: it over and over again, and you see him, you know, 277 00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:49,640 Speaker 5: there at the end of games making plays and putting 278 00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:51,040 Speaker 5: this team in the position to have a chance to win, 279 00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:54,199 Speaker 5: that rubs off on everybody. It rubs off on you know, 280 00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:56,920 Speaker 5: your teammates, It rubs off from defensive players, It rubs 281 00:12:56,960 --> 00:12:59,800 Speaker 5: off on the Clint Kubiat to play color. You know that. 282 00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:02,560 Speaker 5: I think there's a trust factor when when you see 283 00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:05,160 Speaker 5: him do it, you know, it's very easy when your 284 00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:08,640 Speaker 5: quarterback starts the way he did okay with you know, 285 00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:10,600 Speaker 5: with a couple of picks and and and and the 286 00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:12,360 Speaker 5: struggle in the first eight drives the game the tech 287 00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:14,000 Speaker 5: and say, you know what, he don't have it today, guys, 288 00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:16,319 Speaker 5: let's to make sure we run the ball. Let's play conservative. 289 00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:17,920 Speaker 5: Let's not let's you know, let's take the ball of 290 00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:20,559 Speaker 5: his hands. And you know, you and I have been that, 291 00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:23,880 Speaker 5: said Shrecks earlier. I remember we'd have a lead in 292 00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:26,160 Speaker 5: the game and and Tom Moore got bless him, but 293 00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:28,800 Speaker 5: we run the ball first you know, first time run 294 00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:30,280 Speaker 5: the ball and second down on the third nines, O 295 00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:32,480 Speaker 5: can go make a play. I mean, like, I know 296 00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:35,120 Speaker 5: what you're doing. You know, you don't trust me. You know, 297 00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:36,600 Speaker 5: you're not going to put me in the position that 298 00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:39,480 Speaker 5: to you know, to manage this. And I think that's 299 00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:41,040 Speaker 5: not the case in Seattle. I think they have a 300 00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:42,719 Speaker 5: lot of trust in their quarterback. I think it's a 301 00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:45,680 Speaker 5: good thing. I need say from you know, from uh, 302 00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:48,480 Speaker 5: you know, just from from someone outside the building just 303 00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:50,760 Speaker 5: looking at it. I think in order for him to 304 00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:53,080 Speaker 5: take his game to the next level. You know, you 305 00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:54,839 Speaker 5: look at the guy on the other side that that 306 00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:59,120 Speaker 5: he competed against, you know, Stafford. I mean, Stafford's a 307 00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:02,120 Speaker 5: Hall of fame, there's no less about it. But Sam 308 00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:04,400 Speaker 5: just needs to iron out some of the rough edges. 309 00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:07,440 Speaker 5: You know, you can't you know, we'll talk about stacking 310 00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:11,600 Speaker 5: good series together, good quarters together, good games together. Just 311 00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:13,520 Speaker 5: got to smooth out some of those rough edges and 312 00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:15,480 Speaker 5: eliminate some of the poor decisions and some of the 313 00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:18,479 Speaker 5: turnovers that you can kind of ruin a really good performance. 314 00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:20,600 Speaker 3: Well that's the crazy thing, Richie, think about it that 315 00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:23,200 Speaker 3: Sam Darnold is only twenty eight years old. Yet he's 316 00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:25,880 Speaker 3: been now in the NFL for what eight years and 317 00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:29,120 Speaker 3: he's only twenty eight. Yeah, he's got plenty of time to, 318 00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:31,880 Speaker 3: you know, maybe get those edges smoothed over, like you 319 00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:34,760 Speaker 3: talked about. But Rich Cannon's with us on the radio show. 320 00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:38,280 Speaker 3: He was in for Dick Fane and Rich. I'm curious 321 00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:40,680 Speaker 3: both you and I had this conversation before you came 322 00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:44,080 Speaker 3: on about DK metcalf in the incident yesterday in Detroit. 323 00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:46,440 Speaker 2: I'll just give you the floor. 324 00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:49,320 Speaker 3: What was your take on watching that in these subsequent 325 00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:51,080 Speaker 3: two game suspension today for him? 326 00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:54,960 Speaker 5: You know, honestly, I can't say I was surprised that 327 00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:57,480 Speaker 5: he did it. I mean, I think if you talk 328 00:14:57,560 --> 00:15:00,800 Speaker 5: to any defensive cordator, any defensive player, they know what 329 00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:03,400 Speaker 5: the issues are with him. And you know, people try 330 00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:05,800 Speaker 5: and push the buttons right, and you know they talk 331 00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:08,880 Speaker 5: about so, here's this guy is an accident waiting to happen. 332 00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:10,600 Speaker 5: You can get under his skin, you can get him 333 00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:13,000 Speaker 5: out of his game. He's an emotional guy. You know, 334 00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:16,040 Speaker 5: you can get him. The personal files come easy. I mean, 335 00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:19,960 Speaker 5: it happened in Seattle. I think they try to manage 336 00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:23,320 Speaker 5: the situations as best they could. He's in Pittsburgh now, 337 00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:25,440 Speaker 5: and of course you think that you know, that's Mike 338 00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:28,120 Speaker 5: Tomlin and the structure and discipline there that that that 339 00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:28,760 Speaker 5: this would. 340 00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:29,160 Speaker 2: Be a problem. 341 00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:32,360 Speaker 5: He is who he is, guys, and he's a phenomenally gifted, 342 00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:35,640 Speaker 5: talented player. I think he does a hand thing full 343 00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:38,080 Speaker 5: of things really well. I think he's a really good 344 00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:41,040 Speaker 5: physical receiver with the ball in his hands at the catcher. 345 00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:44,320 Speaker 5: Think he runs the clans and the and that goes 346 00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:46,320 Speaker 5: in the phades really well. I don't think the rest 347 00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:49,400 Speaker 5: of his route three is as good as it should 348 00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:52,160 Speaker 5: be or can be. I don't think he transitions as 349 00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:54,200 Speaker 5: well in an out of cuts on certain routes. But 350 00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:56,360 Speaker 5: he's a big, strong guy that can be a real 351 00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:59,480 Speaker 5: difference maker. But you need all of them, and you know, 352 00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:01,120 Speaker 5: you need a he said, you need a guy like 353 00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:03,960 Speaker 5: that who's going to be disciplined for a sixty minute game. 354 00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:05,600 Speaker 5: You can't have him go off the you know, go 355 00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:07,840 Speaker 5: off the rails and lose it. And I think we 356 00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:10,360 Speaker 5: see it too often in games where he's pushing after 357 00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:12,440 Speaker 5: the play and the cornerbacks in his face and his 358 00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:15,400 Speaker 5: grilled talking to him, and that's kind of the that's 359 00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:17,840 Speaker 5: kind of them on him, and then then he loses 360 00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:20,680 Speaker 5: his mind and leaves the eventual he goes to the stands. 361 00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:23,200 Speaker 5: I'm not at all surprised that the lake came down 362 00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:25,040 Speaker 5: on as home as hard as they did. I mean, 363 00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:27,600 Speaker 5: I knew there'd be a suspension. I just said an 364 00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:30,640 Speaker 5: offer be for one or two games and just comes 365 00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:32,680 Speaker 5: at a early, awful time for the Pittsburgh Steelers. 366 00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:35,640 Speaker 4: Yeah. A couple more minutes with Rich Cannon and and 367 00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:40,320 Speaker 4: we mentioned the thirty third team and the presentations. When 368 00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:43,400 Speaker 4: Rich is presenting, it's like ye have Hutton. We're all 369 00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:46,920 Speaker 4: just you know, enamored with his content. And Rich, I 370 00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:51,600 Speaker 4: really want you to tell the story that the way 371 00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:54,560 Speaker 4: you told it the thirty third Team about Mike McCarthy 372 00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:59,440 Speaker 4: interviewing for the job with the Packers and he was 373 00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:05,159 Speaker 4: asked about protect the story about being asked about and 374 00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:08,560 Speaker 4: tell it like you told it, because I thought that 375 00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:12,440 Speaker 4: was such a window for fans into what the NFL 376 00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:14,200 Speaker 4: really is. If you can tell that story, you're a 377 00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:18,400 Speaker 4: great storyteller. You know, tell the fans about his experience 378 00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:19,800 Speaker 4: and what you took away from that. 379 00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:22,960 Speaker 5: Well, I was big Mike McCarthy saying you know, he 380 00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:26,080 Speaker 5: went to school at Fort Hayes State, some from out 381 00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:29,359 Speaker 5: the Pittsburgh area and the graduate assistant to pitt And 382 00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:33,040 Speaker 5: and that's where he met Paul Hackett and John Grew 383 00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:34,639 Speaker 5: and they're all on that staff together. And then he 384 00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:37,240 Speaker 5: gets the opportunity when Paul Hackett comes to Kansas City's 385 00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:39,520 Speaker 5: the offensive coordinator to be the offensive quality control coach. 386 00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:42,760 Speaker 5: Eventually became the quarterbacks coaches, my quarterback coach. Beforeies loved him. 387 00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:44,360 Speaker 5: I knew he was going to be a great coach, 388 00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:47,160 Speaker 5: and eventually goes on to you know, being the head 389 00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:48,920 Speaker 5: coach of the Packers. They won a Super Bowl. He 390 00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:52,000 Speaker 5: did some great things with Brett Barb and Aaron Rodgers 391 00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:55,040 Speaker 5: and the course success with the Cowboys. But he's interviewing 392 00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:58,600 Speaker 5: for the job in Green Bay and they start, they 393 00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:00,440 Speaker 5: get off at the board and they say, well, let's 394 00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:03,119 Speaker 5: tell us, you know, start with protections. What can you 395 00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:05,520 Speaker 5: tell us about protection? And Mike literally looked at the 396 00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:07,800 Speaker 5: guys in the room. It was like five guys. I 397 00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:09,800 Speaker 5: think it was like the general manager and like some 398 00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:12,000 Speaker 5: of the executive people and I don't know someone who 399 00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:13,680 Speaker 5: search committee whatever it was, and he said how much 400 00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:16,520 Speaker 5: he was like he was startled by the question. He's like, 401 00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:19,399 Speaker 5: how much time do you have? Like he says, this 402 00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:20,960 Speaker 5: could take a while. He was like, they go, we 403 00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:23,119 Speaker 5: got we got all that. He says, all right, So 404 00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:25,280 Speaker 5: he was up at the board for two and a 405 00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:27,639 Speaker 5: half hours and they said okay, and that that's like 406 00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:30,120 Speaker 5: so he started talking about He goes, well, there's five 407 00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:32,640 Speaker 5: man protections, are six man protection, there's seven man protections? 408 00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:34,960 Speaker 5: Is eight man protections just Slyde protections? Just going back. 409 00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:37,159 Speaker 5: He says, let's start with it. Let's start with the 410 00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:39,840 Speaker 5: solid seven man protection, because that's where we when we 411 00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:42,479 Speaker 5: start with protections, we started a solid seven man protection. 412 00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:44,880 Speaker 5: That's your base protection. Let's walk through that, he said. 413 00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:46,920 Speaker 5: And he went through it, and like and that's why 414 00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:48,760 Speaker 5: I said, like to me, when I started spending time, 415 00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:50,879 Speaker 5: like that's when I really became a kind of a 416 00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:54,840 Speaker 5: you know, uh, you know, really good at my craft 417 00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:56,600 Speaker 5: because that's where it starts. You know, when you put 418 00:18:56,600 --> 00:19:00,320 Speaker 5: a passing game together, you have to understand protections. And 419 00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:02,440 Speaker 5: I look at these games and dries me crazy, and 420 00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:04,600 Speaker 5: you and I talk about on Wednesdays, like you watch 421 00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:07,199 Speaker 5: these quarterbacks that are going out there that don't know 422 00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:09,760 Speaker 5: what they're doing. They don't know, and that's how these 423 00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:12,440 Speaker 5: guys are getting hurt because they don't understand. For these 424 00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:15,480 Speaker 5: defensive coordinators are bringing all kinds of heat. You got 425 00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:18,040 Speaker 5: to understand what you're seeing. You know, it's funny I 426 00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:21,760 Speaker 5: say that. You know, it's a public service announcement. You know, 427 00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:24,960 Speaker 5: we've got these warning labels and everything. If you're a 428 00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:27,400 Speaker 5: parent and you love your kid and he's a young 429 00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:30,679 Speaker 5: quarterback in the NFL, you better make sure he understands 430 00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:33,800 Speaker 5: protection because if not, he's going to get knocked out. 431 00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:38,080 Speaker 5: These guys they've thrown around. These these defensive players are 432 00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:40,280 Speaker 5: trained assassins. Their job is to knock you out of 433 00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:43,240 Speaker 5: the game. Too. Many quarterbacks are getting way late because 434 00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:45,320 Speaker 5: they can't see where the pressure is coming from. But 435 00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:48,320 Speaker 5: Mike McCarthy, he coached me up and you know, Hugh, 436 00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:50,120 Speaker 5: I wasn't asleep at the wheel man.

You want to go with 492 00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:10,879 Speaker 2: number one? 493 00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:11,200 Speaker 5: All right? 494 00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:14,440 Speaker 3: Fans in Detroit thought their Lions had beaten the Steelers 495 00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:17,359 Speaker 3: yesterday when a wild play ended with Jared Goff taking 496 00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:20,080 Speaker 3: a loose ball into the end zone. A few moments later, 497 00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:23,920 Speaker 3: the game actually ended, though, when head referee Carl Scheffer said, 498 00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:26,360 Speaker 3: this what a major call? 499 00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:28,000 Speaker 6: Really on the field, there's a touchdown. 500 00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:33,040 Speaker 2: However, had a number fourteen on the offense. 501 00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:38,679 Speaker 6: My rule that penalty is not enforced and there is 502 00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:39,440 Speaker 6: no replay. 503 00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:43,159 Speaker 2: The game is over. There is no plutown. 504 00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:48,040 Speaker 6: Oki a number fourteen the gates of the penalty. There 505 00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:48,920 Speaker 6: is no replay. 506 00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:49,920 Speaker 4: The game is over. 507 00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:53,240 Speaker 6: They even conceded Jean that golf had scored a. 508 00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:57,080 Speaker 5: Touchdown in the NFL offensive files with tom expired do 509 00:22:57,240 --> 00:22:58,000 Speaker 5: not extend. 510 00:22:58,520 --> 00:22:58,879 Speaker 2: Okay. 511 00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:02,320 Speaker 3: I am convinced that the majority of those fans at 512 00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:06,199 Speaker 3: Ford Field had no freaking clue what Carl Cheffer's was 513 00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:07,040 Speaker 3: saying to them. 514 00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:10,119 Speaker 2: All they heard. All they heard is touchdown. 515 00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:14,160 Speaker 3: They heard nothing that followed it, and then they heard 516 00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:17,600 Speaker 3: it was a touchdown, and then they heard the game 517 00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:20,360 Speaker 3: is over and there was nothing in between. I mean, 518 00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:22,760 Speaker 3: was that not a kind of a piss poor way 519 00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:24,640 Speaker 3: of that guy to explain what happened? 520 00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:25,760 Speaker 2: Are you kidding me? 521 00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:29,879 Speaker 4: I'm no soaring orator, but that will not go in 522 00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:34,240 Speaker 4: a capsule with the Kennedy inaugurala dress okay. 523 00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:34,280 Speaker 5: Just. 524 00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:39,200 Speaker 2: Less than number one. How not to address a hall 525 00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:42,000 Speaker 2: of the crowd when a game to take a while? 526 00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:43,280 Speaker 4: That's what they heard. 527 00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:44,000 Speaker 2: Here's what you do. 528 00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:47,679 Speaker 3: You take the field, you turn your mic on, you say, okay, 529 00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:50,840 Speaker 3: the Steelers have won, and here's why. 530 00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:53,520 Speaker 4: Yeah exactly, and you explained you lost. 531 00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:56,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, you lost the crowd. 532 00:23:56,720 --> 00:23:59,800 Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, that was And then I still don't even 533 00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:01,680 Speaker 4: think what he said after that was accurate. 534 00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:04,480 Speaker 2: That's nice. What he did to explain it was say, 535 00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:07,520 Speaker 2: totally inaccurate. And that guy's been around for a long time. 536 00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:08,760 Speaker 2: By the way, he knows what he's doing. 537 00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:11,359 Speaker 4: Well, he didn't know what he was doing in that moment. 538 00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:15,080 Speaker 4: I think it was the opposite of right in his explanation. 539 00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:17,480 Speaker 2: All right, let's do number two. 540 00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:19,480 Speaker 3: You think, hey, Hugh, did you happen to hear that 541 00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:22,640 Speaker 3: that's that ditch shortly before halftime in Detroit yesterday, Pittsburgh 542 00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:25,320 Speaker 3: receiver DK Metcalf, as you know, was caught on camera 543 00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:28,040 Speaker 3: hitting a lines fan in the first row at fort Field. 544 00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:30,400 Speaker 3: DK has now been suspended for two games without pay 545 00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:32,920 Speaker 3: for the incident, but Ross Tucker shared his take on 546 00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:35,920 Speaker 3: the situation during a visit on The Dan Patrick Show 547 00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:36,760 Speaker 3: earlier today. 548 00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:40,200 Speaker 7: I think that they probably will suspend him. DK Metcalf 549 00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:43,720 Speaker 7: went all the way over into the stands. It wasn't 550 00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:46,119 Speaker 7: like the guy was right behind him. I mean that 551 00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:49,560 Speaker 7: was a good ten yards behind him, obviously. Whatever the 552 00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:52,720 Speaker 7: guy said. The guy told the Detroit Free Press that 553 00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:56,000 Speaker 7: he called DK by his real name. But now evidently 554 00:24:56,080 --> 00:24:57,840 Speaker 7: DK does not like that. By the way, now every 555 00:24:57,840 --> 00:24:59,919 Speaker 7: defensive back knows that DK does not like if you 556 00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:04,159 Speaker 7: home by his real first name. But you can't do that. 557 00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:07,119 Speaker 7: You cannot walk over. You're allowed to say whatever you 558 00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:09,000 Speaker 7: want to say from the stands. You're allowed to say 559 00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:10,800 Speaker 7: whatever you want to say, and a player cannot go 560 00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:16,159 Speaker 7: over there and initiate anything, especially putting their hands on him. 561 00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:17,960 Speaker 7: I think that the NFL has to come down on 562 00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:18,800 Speaker 7: him hard. 563 00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:21,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm assuming that you agree with everything Ross Tucker 564 00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:22,360 Speaker 3: just said. 565 00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:27,360 Speaker 4: Uh yeah, of course, I don't believe that. That guy said, Well, 566 00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:30,200 Speaker 4: all I did was calling him to carry in right, No, 567 00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:33,960 Speaker 4: I don't think that insided a punch. But you know, 568 00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:38,159 Speaker 4: from DK's perspective, if you punch the fan with the 569 00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:41,719 Speaker 4: blue wig, you don't get a black belt. You know, 570 00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:44,959 Speaker 4: maybe you get a yellow belt. Like you're not earning 571 00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:47,680 Speaker 4: any street cred by writing out the dude in the 572 00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:51,520 Speaker 4: blue like the fan in the blue wig. Really crow, Yeah, 573 00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:56,440 Speaker 4: I think there's more to it than that, But as 574 00:25:56,480 --> 00:25:58,880 Speaker 4: you state, nothing excuses what he did. 575 00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:02,840 Speaker 2: Hey, did you happen to hear that? What's that dick? 576 00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:05,359 Speaker 3: After the Raiders loss in Houston yesterday, they fell to 577 00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:09,120 Speaker 3: two and thirteen, Vegas head coach Pete Carroll said this 578 00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:12,120 Speaker 3: about his aspirations for the future and wanting to turn 579 00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:13,880 Speaker 3: things around in Las Vegas. 580 00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:15,800 Speaker 4: Do you want to see this rebuild through? 581 00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:17,520 Speaker 8: I would love to, you know, I would. 582 00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:17,960 Speaker 7: I would love it. 583 00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:21,359 Speaker 8: It's gonna be, uh, it's going to be challenging. It's 584 00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:25,320 Speaker 8: it's a taxing challenge for us. But yeah, I really 585 00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:28,199 Speaker 8: like this place, and I like this team, and I 586 00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:29,119 Speaker 8: like I love working with. 587 00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:29,720 Speaker 4: Johnny and. 588 00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:33,840 Speaker 8: It's it's just mapping it out and putting it together 589 00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:35,600 Speaker 8: and making sure that we bring people in that can 590 00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:38,359 Speaker 8: really help us and challenge and compete with the guys 591 00:26:38,359 --> 00:26:40,480 Speaker 8: that we have, and just let that whole process take, 592 00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:43,119 Speaker 8: you know, take shape. It's just unfortunate that there's not 593 00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:44,920 Speaker 8: five or six or seven right wins in here that 594 00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:46,760 Speaker 8: should have accompanied this season right now, you know. And 595 00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:49,840 Speaker 8: it blows me away that that's that, this is the 596 00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:52,879 Speaker 8: situation that we're in, because I have no space in 597 00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:53,560 Speaker 8: my brain for this. 598 00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:55,959 Speaker 3: So Johnny by the way, that he's referring to as 599 00:26:56,040 --> 00:27:01,040 Speaker 3: John Spytech, who's the GM of the Raiders. They lost 600 00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:04,160 Speaker 3: a game in overtime to Jacksonville by one. They lost 601 00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:07,560 Speaker 3: a game by one to Chicago, lost a game by 602 00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:11,640 Speaker 3: two to Houston, lost a game by seven to Denver. 603 00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:15,440 Speaker 3: That's four games lost by three to Denver. That's five 604 00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:19,240 Speaker 3: games that the Raiders have lost by one score. I mean, 605 00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:21,800 Speaker 3: I don't know. You tell me, Hugh, what were their wins? 606 00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:22,840 Speaker 4: How many? How many their wins? 607 00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:26,040 Speaker 3: They beat the Titans by ten, beat the Patriots by seven, 608 00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:28,480 Speaker 3: They won their opener, by the way, and they're one 609 00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:30,160 Speaker 3: in thirteen since the opener. 610 00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:31,320 Speaker 2: Would you bring him back? 611 00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:36,359 Speaker 4: I wouldn't no, I mean I no, No, I wouldn't. 612 00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:41,000 Speaker 4: And how about him saying it's going to be a challenge. 613 00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:44,159 Speaker 4: There's still two more games left, right the players. Well, 614 00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:47,160 Speaker 4: I can't interpret for the players, but I would think 615 00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:50,520 Speaker 4: that they would be interpreting that like, Okay, my players suck, 616 00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:52,960 Speaker 4: It's going to be a real challenge. Ryeah right, I know, 617 00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:55,720 Speaker 4: would you? I mean there's a point where you just say, 618 00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:57,119 Speaker 4: oh god, you know. 619 00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:01,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think I'd give him one more year, but man, 620 00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:03,880 Speaker 3: if they don't show some real progress by the middle 621 00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:05,439 Speaker 3: of the year, I'd probably fire him and move on. 622 00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:07,399 Speaker 3: I mean, I just think, you know, this is so 623 00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:12,280 Speaker 3: unlike Pete Carroll, that this team is this bad. I 624 00:28:12,359 --> 00:28:14,960 Speaker 3: think he's also getting let down by his quarterback. I 625 00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:17,240 Speaker 3: don't think they have an offensive line where the damn 626 00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:18,120 Speaker 3: down there in. 627 00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:21,119 Speaker 2: Vegas, that's for sure. And I just think you I 628 00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:22,720 Speaker 2: think i'd bring him back for one more year. 629 00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:26,520 Speaker 4: Well, the reason I say, you know, because Tom Brady 630 00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:29,879 Speaker 4: figures to be sure a bigger part sure of the decision. 631 00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:33,440 Speaker 4: Tom Brady doesn't strike me as a guy that you 632 00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:34,600 Speaker 4: know it has a lot of patience. 633 00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:35,440 Speaker 2: No, I get it. 634 00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:37,479 Speaker 3: Well, I mean you got a guy in Geno Smith, 635 00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:39,760 Speaker 3: who it's only two quarterbacks in the NFL with a 636 00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:42,600 Speaker 3: lower QBR than him, and it's JJ McCarthy and cam Ward. 637 00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:44,520 Speaker 2: That's it, all right, We'll get a break. 638 00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:48,560 Speaker 3: Michael Pennix, six pm hour before cracking hockey coming up, 639 00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:50,920 Speaker 3: pregame six thirty face off seven against the Ducks on 640 00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:52,480 Speaker 3: ninety three three KJRFF. 641 00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:55,080 Speaker 1: This is Duke of Duke Seafood and this hour is 642 00:28:55,080 --> 00:28:57,400 Speaker 1: brought to you by Duke Seafood. Why don't you make 643 00:28:57,440 --> 00:29:00,280 Speaker 1: it a Duke's night tonight. Reserve your table today at 644 00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:04,680 Speaker 1: dukeseafood dot com. Now back to Saftian Dick on Sports 645 00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:07,120 Speaker 1: Radio ninety three point three KJR. 646 00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:10,960 Speaker 3: First quarter Nighters. Now the Colts fourteen to seven. The 647 00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:14,680 Speaker 3: Colts the Niners win tonight. Excuse me, they would move 648 00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:18,160 Speaker 3: into the second place spot in the NFC West because 649 00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:21,239 Speaker 3: they would then have the tiebreaker over the Rams I mean, 650 00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:22,280 Speaker 3: think about the Rams man. 651 00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:22,920 Speaker 2: Two weeks ago. 652 00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:25,080 Speaker 3: They were the darling of the NFC number one seed 653 00:29:25,080 --> 00:29:27,320 Speaker 3: and then bang they blew a sixteen point lead in 654 00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:29,880 Speaker 3: the fourth quarter, and now they're a Niner win away 655 00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:32,360 Speaker 3: tonight from being in third place in the NFC West 656 00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:34,920 Speaker 3: because they both would have the same record they both 657 00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:37,320 Speaker 3: split in the regular season, but the Niners would be 658 00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:39,760 Speaker 3: four and one in the West and the Rams would 659 00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:43,080 Speaker 3: be three and two. So technically the Niners would be 660 00:29:43,120 --> 00:29:45,880 Speaker 3: in the two hole tonight. If they win this game 661 00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:49,719 Speaker 3: against Indianapolis, which I think they're going to Hawks are 662 00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:53,800 Speaker 3: twelve and three, Niners eleven to four. That means, obviously 663 00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:57,920 Speaker 3: the Seahawks could beat the Carolina Panthers, and as long 664 00:29:57,920 --> 00:30:01,080 Speaker 3: as the Niners take out the Bears, that game and 665 00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:02,960 Speaker 3: the last game of the year is going to be 666 00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:07,760 Speaker 3: for the NFC West Championship at Levi Stadium. I remember you, Hugh, 667 00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:11,720 Speaker 3: when the schedule came out saying, oh, I don't like 668 00:30:11,800 --> 00:30:14,880 Speaker 3: that Week eighteen game at Levi Stadium. I don't like 669 00:30:14,920 --> 00:30:16,840 Speaker 3: that at all, having to go to San Francisco in 670 00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:19,680 Speaker 3: Week eighteen. So how do you feel about that game now? 671 00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:22,760 Speaker 4: Well, at the time, I thought they might have Joey 672 00:30:22,760 --> 00:30:25,800 Speaker 4: Bosa and I thought they might have Fred Warner, right, 673 00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:31,200 Speaker 4: But they seem to be figuring it out, and yeah, 674 00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:34,640 Speaker 4: I'm concerned about it. I think it's tough for Seattle 675 00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:38,160 Speaker 4: to have played the Ram game with all of the 676 00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:42,280 Speaker 4: intensity of that, the emotion involved, and then you got to, Okay, 677 00:30:42,320 --> 00:30:45,560 Speaker 4: your your emotional tank gets drained by that as as 678 00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:47,800 Speaker 4: much as it could. Overtime and all. Now a good 679 00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:50,440 Speaker 4: thing you had the three days before Carolina. But then Carolina, 680 00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:55,080 Speaker 4: that's going to be an intense environment. And then so 681 00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:58,400 Speaker 4: to have to have three games, you know, must wins 682 00:30:58,520 --> 00:31:00,640 Speaker 4: against playoff teams stuff. 683 00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:02,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, no it is. And all of a sudden, the 684 00:31:02,840 --> 00:31:06,400 Speaker 3: Seahawks football team. I mean, guys, there's a scenario where 685 00:31:06,480 --> 00:31:08,520 Speaker 3: you can paint that the Seahawks end up as the 686 00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:11,160 Speaker 3: seventh seed in the NFC playoffs and they end up 687 00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:13,960 Speaker 3: as the third team in the NFC West. So look, 688 00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:15,560 Speaker 3: I know we're all fired up, and we should be 689 00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:17,480 Speaker 3: fired up. I told you last week after the RAM 690 00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:20,120 Speaker 3: game that I the parch I'm sitting on right now. 691 00:31:20,160 --> 00:31:21,960 Speaker 3: I think the Hawks are going to play in the 692 00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:26,080 Speaker 3: Super Bowl, and that the ceiling and the floor for 693 00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:30,280 Speaker 3: this football team is so wide a swath it's unbelievable. 694 00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:33,160 Speaker 3: And the biggest reason why there's a wide swath is 695 00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:36,040 Speaker 3: because of the parody in the NFC and the parody 696 00:31:36,040 --> 00:31:38,160 Speaker 3: in the NFC West. I mean, the Hawks are a really, 697 00:31:38,280 --> 00:31:41,000 Speaker 3: really good football team that could lose in the first 698 00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:44,120 Speaker 3: round of the NFL playoffs, having to go to Chicago 699 00:31:44,320 --> 00:31:46,840 Speaker 3: or go to Carolina, or go to Tampa Bay and 700 00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:49,000 Speaker 3: taking a road trip like that. Look, when I make 701 00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:51,120 Speaker 3: the Hawks the favorite to win that game, yes, I 702 00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:52,680 Speaker 3: would would have stunned me if they lost. 703 00:31:52,720 --> 00:31:54,480 Speaker 2: No, it would not no, of course. 704 00:31:54,880 --> 00:31:58,560 Speaker 4: And you have an offensive line that when they bogged down, 705 00:31:58,680 --> 00:32:02,160 Speaker 4: I mean they grow, they don't. They don't coast, like 706 00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:04,720 Speaker 4: you can't put the car in neutral and at least 707 00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:07,640 Speaker 4: coast for a while. It just like the clutch pops 708 00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:11,360 Speaker 4: and then you're just you're just stuck immediately. So they're 709 00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:13,480 Speaker 4: a concern. Although I will say, you know, we talked 710 00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:16,960 Speaker 4: last week about how Sam Donald has the highest win 711 00:32:17,080 --> 00:32:20,640 Speaker 4: percentage of any starting quarterback over the last two years, 712 00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:23,080 Speaker 4: and that doesn't matter whether you count the playoffs or not. 713 00:32:23,200 --> 00:32:26,960 Speaker 4: The answer Sam Donald, Right, you go back. We had 714 00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:32,320 Speaker 4: what was it Sharon Sharon Panthers, sideline reporter, Yeah, she 715 00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:35,640 Speaker 4: You know, we talked about the twenty twenty two year. 716 00:32:35,800 --> 00:32:40,560 Speaker 4: If you filter David years twenty two through twenty five, 717 00:32:40,600 --> 00:32:43,920 Speaker 4: that's four seasons because Donald had six starts that twenty 718 00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:46,440 Speaker 4: twenty two year. You know, as a number one one 719 00:32:46,520 --> 00:32:50,200 Speaker 4: percentage of the last four years, Sam Donald, And of 720 00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:53,880 Speaker 4: the top five, there's one quarterback who has a triple 721 00:32:53,880 --> 00:32:57,320 Speaker 4: digit passer rating of the top five, so he's number 722 00:32:57,400 --> 00:33:00,960 Speaker 4: one in win percentage and he's the only one with 723 00:33:01,040 --> 00:33:05,000 Speaker 4: a triple digit passer rated. I mean, it's pretty remarkable. 724 00:33:05,040 --> 00:33:06,600 Speaker 4: And he's only twenty eight here. We talked to Rich 725 00:33:06,640 --> 00:33:09,040 Speaker 4: Cannon today going to the Pro Bowl between ages thirty 726 00:33:09,080 --> 00:33:12,120 Speaker 4: four and thirty seven, right, I don't know, that's pretty cool. 727 00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:13,400 Speaker 4: What's going on with all think. 728 00:33:13,440 --> 00:33:15,680 Speaker 3: I think there's a conversation to be had later on 729 00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:18,200 Speaker 3: about what John Schneider is doing right now, because you know, 730 00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:20,040 Speaker 3: I put this on Twitter yesterday, and I really hope 731 00:33:20,080 --> 00:33:22,360 Speaker 3: that people understand that what John Schneider is doing right 732 00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:24,520 Speaker 3: now is pretty rare for a GM to win a 733 00:33:24,600 --> 00:33:28,160 Speaker 3: championship in twenty thirteen, then totally reset with a new 734 00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:30,240 Speaker 3: quarterback and a brand new head coach and a brand 735 00:33:30,280 --> 00:33:32,440 Speaker 3: new roster, and to be sitting here with the record 736 00:33:32,440 --> 00:33:35,320 Speaker 3: they've got in position to maybe get back to another one. 737 00:33:35,600 --> 00:33:38,040 Speaker 2: Not a lot of executives pull this off, right. 738 00:33:37,960 --> 00:33:40,240 Speaker 3: You know, the second time around with a whole new 739 00:33:40,280 --> 00:33:41,280 Speaker 3: cast of characters. 740 00:33:41,280 --> 00:33:43,000 Speaker 2: So good on him. We'll get a break
