1 00:00:01,720 --> 00:00:04,680 Speaker 1: At the forty five ways to the stand, Michael Dion 2 00:00:04,760 --> 00:00:08,559 Speaker 1: puts him down. That picks away and that kick is good. 3 00:00:11,560 --> 00:00:14,760 Speaker 1: The first meeting was an overtime thriller. Now the Seahawks 4 00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:17,239 Speaker 1: and Niners square off with the NFC West title on 5 00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:30,920 Speaker 1: the line, and he spot his back said they're second. Seahawks. 6 00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:33,239 Speaker 1: Saturday Night has Coached Carroll's thoughts on the return of 7 00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:36,040 Speaker 1: Marshawn Lynch and a special night for the Twelves. He's 8 00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:40,520 Speaker 1: an extraordinary individual, knowing big personality, a big character uh 9 00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:43,240 Speaker 1: delivered with a really quiet message. But he carries a 10 00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:45,440 Speaker 1: lot of weight around here. So there's a lot of 11 00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:47,400 Speaker 1: guys are excited to play with him. There can't wait 12 00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:51,280 Speaker 1: to see him play Sekeim drift and will once again 13 00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:53,760 Speaker 1: book the pressure of the quarterback tonight he takes us 14 00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:58,040 Speaker 1: on the field. He's wearing our mind. Hello, Hello, No, 15 00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:03,680 Speaker 1: no happy holidays, Twelves. This is going to be special. 16 00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:06,199 Speaker 1: This is your team and your show. It's past Mode 17 00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:29,320 Speaker 1: time on Seaak Saturday Night and running back from California 18 00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:42,960 Speaker 1: number twenty four and what a week from Beast Mode 19 00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:45,039 Speaker 1: to return as we're joined by head coach Peak Carroll, 20 00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:46,800 Speaker 1: Coach we'll get to that coming up. But what about 21 00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:49,120 Speaker 1: the opportunity this team has tomorrow night a chance to 22 00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:51,560 Speaker 1: win the NFC West. Yeah, we've been really aiming for 23 00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:53,720 Speaker 1: this opportunity all you're long, not knowing what game it 24 00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:56,400 Speaker 1: might come in if we were fortunate enough to arrive there. 25 00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:58,800 Speaker 1: But in fact, it's the last game of the year 26 00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:01,120 Speaker 1: in the vision, you know all that, it's it's it's 27 00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:03,120 Speaker 1: a great opportunity. We're really excited about it. What have 28 00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:04,760 Speaker 1: you seen from your team in terms of focus in 29 00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:08,359 Speaker 1: preparation this week, especially coming off at disappointing performance last week, Well, 30 00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:10,760 Speaker 1: we turned it. You know, there was there's some distractions 31 00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:13,400 Speaker 1: when you have you know, Christmas and the holidays and 32 00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:15,440 Speaker 1: all that, but I think our guys dealt with the 33 00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:18,000 Speaker 1: just fine. We came right back to work with the 34 00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:20,200 Speaker 1: day after and everything worked out really well. So we're 35 00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:22,960 Speaker 1: untractive really do everything the way we wanted. Obviously not 36 00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:25,880 Speaker 1: the optimal situation losing three running backs the last few 37 00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:27,800 Speaker 1: weeks or so, but to bring a couple of familiar 38 00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:30,720 Speaker 1: faces back. What are your thoughts on that? Well, I 39 00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:32,560 Speaker 1: think we're very fortunate that we're able to do that, 40 00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:35,799 Speaker 1: more than people would think maybe from the outside. It's 41 00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:37,400 Speaker 1: good to have those guys that know their way around, 42 00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:39,480 Speaker 1: and we've been part of this and we're looking for 43 00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:41,959 Speaker 1: an opportunity to These guys are hungry, and so we 44 00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:43,800 Speaker 1: get them at a good time. What effect do you 45 00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:45,440 Speaker 1: think that has on the entire team, bringing a guy 46 00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:48,280 Speaker 1: like Marshawn Lunch back to this team, Well, it has 47 00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:51,600 Speaker 1: an effect. There's no question that he's an extraordinary individual, 48 00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:55,240 Speaker 1: you know, a big personality, a big character delivered with 49 00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:57,560 Speaker 1: a really quiet message. But he carries a lot of 50 00:02:57,560 --> 00:02:59,720 Speaker 1: weight around here, and so there's a lot of guys 51 00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:01,440 Speaker 1: that excited to play with him that I can't wait 52 00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:04,359 Speaker 1: to see him play. Fans are obviously very excited. They 53 00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:06,839 Speaker 1: have all these great memories of Marshawn with his team. 54 00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,600 Speaker 1: Should they temper their expectations though, given that he hasn't 55 00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:11,800 Speaker 1: played anymore, How would we do that? No, I wouldn't 56 00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:13,560 Speaker 1: do that at all. He's in really good shape. He 57 00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:15,720 Speaker 1: looks good. He looked great all week long. He's ready 58 00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:17,520 Speaker 1: to play. You get a Niners team this week that's 59 00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:20,520 Speaker 1: getting healthier. Most importantly, they get George kittleback, a guy 60 00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:22,760 Speaker 1: who didn't play against you down in Santa Clara earlier 61 00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:25,920 Speaker 1: this year. What makes him such a tough matchup? Well, 62 00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:28,560 Speaker 1: he's just an all around really really good ballplayer. You know, 63 00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:30,840 Speaker 1: he's a people will talk about the block him. He's 64 00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:33,440 Speaker 1: a terrific blocker. He runs really well after the catch, 65 00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:35,440 Speaker 1: He's got enough speed to run all of the routes. 66 00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:38,360 Speaker 1: He is a comecru guy, so they're going to him 67 00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:40,920 Speaker 1: and everything about him. He's just a top played player 68 00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:42,760 Speaker 1: in every way. What are some of the keys that 69 00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:46,000 Speaker 1: you found successfully down there at Santa Clara in that 70 00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:48,480 Speaker 1: win that you'd like to continue this time around. We 71 00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:50,480 Speaker 1: just know that we can match up as we do. 72 00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:52,880 Speaker 1: We know how the you know, the lion of scrimmage 73 00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:54,640 Speaker 1: is going to work with our guys against their guys 74 00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:57,280 Speaker 1: and there's against us. We have a good feel for 75 00:03:57,320 --> 00:04:00,160 Speaker 1: that sin that stuff, and so we're very comfortable the 76 00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:03,080 Speaker 1: matchup there. They've had a great season, they're terrific team 77 00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:04,600 Speaker 1: and all that, and they've had some PI role of 78 00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:08,680 Speaker 1: finishers as well as as we have too. So it's 79 00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:11,520 Speaker 1: just everything just stacks up for a really cool ball game. 80 00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:13,720 Speaker 1: We're excited to go. Jimmy Garoppolo has never made a 81 00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:16,640 Speaker 1: start in Seattle before. How can the fans an atmosphere 82 00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:20,039 Speaker 1: affect the quarterbacks first start in Seattle. Well, it's likely 83 00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:21,680 Speaker 1: that they talked about it all week, you know, and 84 00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:24,440 Speaker 1: they made preparations and they have thoughts about it, and 85 00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:28,360 Speaker 1: I think just anytime, you know, stuff gets gets piled 86 00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:31,320 Speaker 1: up like that, it could affect you some. There's nothing 87 00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:33,000 Speaker 1: like it in terms of the noise and the sound 88 00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:34,760 Speaker 1: and all of that. That's as hard as it can 89 00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:37,479 Speaker 1: get in any stadium. So that's a challenge for all players, 90 00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:40,800 Speaker 1: in particular the quarterback. But he, you know, he's a 91 00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:42,960 Speaker 1: poise kid. He's gonna do okay, but we're gonna try 92 00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:45,240 Speaker 1: to make it really hard on him. Take your all 93 00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:46,840 Speaker 1: the way back to April, and one of the first 94 00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:49,640 Speaker 1: messages to this team is winning the division. That's priority 95 00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:52,200 Speaker 1: number one. Here. What's it like to finally be here 96 00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:54,400 Speaker 1: eight months later and you have this opportunity right in 97 00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:56,240 Speaker 1: front of you, Well, it is, It's just what we 98 00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:58,400 Speaker 1: hope for. You know, this is a you know, own 99 00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:00,520 Speaker 1: this division means that you got to get it through 100 00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:02,880 Speaker 1: the hard matchups that you have. And this is a 101 00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:05,320 Speaker 1: classic one for us to be going against a terrific 102 00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:07,760 Speaker 1: team and another winning football team at this time of 103 00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:09,839 Speaker 1: the year, our last games of the season. You know, 104 00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:12,560 Speaker 1: you go back nine years, we've had eight big time 105 00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:14,640 Speaker 1: opportunities to you know, if you getting the playoffs or 106 00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:18,040 Speaker 1: position yourself properly, and we've had some success in those times. 107 00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:19,800 Speaker 1: But this is just kind of like the way it goes. 108 00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:21,320 Speaker 1: You know, in the last game of the year, something's 109 00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:24,159 Speaker 1: going on, something at stake, and so we're really pumped 110 00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:26,320 Speaker 1: for this and regardless of what happens tomorrow, this team 111 00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:28,840 Speaker 1: will absolutely be playing in the playoffs the following week. 112 00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:30,680 Speaker 1: So what are you hoping to see to make you 113 00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:33,240 Speaker 1: comfortable with this game going into the postseason. Oh, we'd 114 00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:34,800 Speaker 1: like to see good execution, you know, we'd just like 115 00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:37,160 Speaker 1: to speed, real playing sharp, always take care of the 116 00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:39,559 Speaker 1: football and getting after the football. That's where it all starts, 117 00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:41,640 Speaker 1: you know. And if we do those things and we'll 118 00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:44,360 Speaker 1: be in the position had a chance to win the game. Again, 119 00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:46,880 Speaker 1: this is a great matchup. They're really loaded up. But 120 00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:48,600 Speaker 1: when you take care of the football and you get 121 00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:50,560 Speaker 1: it from them, then the game starts to swing in 122 00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:52,440 Speaker 1: your favor. What's the last week of the regular season. 123 00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:54,480 Speaker 1: We're going to hit you with two Twitter questions. All 124 00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:58,400 Speaker 1: the fans.

No, we do exactly the same stuff we 128 00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:07,880 Speaker 1: always do. There's no way we would want to change now. 129 00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:09,719 Speaker 1: We want to make sure they have every advantage that 130 00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:11,080 Speaker 1: they could have.
