Speaker 1: the Seattle Seahawks in a wild card playoff birth Matt Johnson,

7
00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:27,159
Speaker 1: John Boyle, Good morning, John, Good morning, Matthew. How are you.

8
00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:30,160
Speaker 1: I'm good. There's just a different buzz. Do you care

9
00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:32,120
Speaker 1: if I call you Matthew? Sometimes I love it if

10
00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:34,159
Speaker 1: you call me okay, good? No, I just you know

11
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:36,640
Speaker 1: i'd do it. Sometimes. I don't know. I had seventeen

12
00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:39,720
Speaker 1: weeks in and ning. What if you're getting mad the

13
00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:41,639
Speaker 1: whole time that I called you Matthew. I don't think

14
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:45,760
Speaker 1: you've ever called me Matthew. Yeah, really, yes? Oh hey, Brian,

15
00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:49,680
Speaker 1: good morning regularly. Oh anyway, I guess that's a bad

16
00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:53,840
Speaker 1: sign of how I listened to carry on. Harry A cold,

17
00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:59,400
Speaker 1: that's the cold. Marshawn Lynch Russell Wilson Seahawks defense. Where

18
00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:01,160
Speaker 1: do you want to start, Well, let's just get the

19
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:02,600
Speaker 1: cold out of the way, because that's been the big

20
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:05,760
Speaker 1: topic all week. Understand what it is gonna be legitimately cold,

21
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:08,040
Speaker 1: But as Pete Carroll always says, they're not gonna worry

22
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:10,160
Speaker 1: too much about things that they can't control. Both teams

23
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:12,280
Speaker 1: have to deal with it. It will affect the game.

24
00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:13,920
Speaker 1: The ball is not gonna travel as far in the

25
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:16,160
Speaker 1: kicking game. It's gonna be harder to throw and catch.

26
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:18,240
Speaker 1: But you know, both these teams run the ball well.

27
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:20,320
Speaker 1: Both teams played pretty good defense. I don't think there's

28
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:23,319
Speaker 1: one team that's gonna be drastically effective. Okay, I can't wait.

29
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:27,080
Speaker 1: I can't wait until John by John Boyle. I can't

30
00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:30,839
Speaker 1: wait until John Ryan just hammers a punch sixty five yards.

31
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:33,200
Speaker 1: It's all gonna shatter. Well, no, I'm just saying, that's

32
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:35,479
Speaker 1: all I've heard. Is you know the kicking game's gonna

33
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:38,800
Speaker 1: you know that's gonna be a science matt ideal gas law.

34
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:41,479
Speaker 1: I understand. Have you seen John Ryan lately? He's pretty

35
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:44,200
Speaker 1: yoked h that is the word the kids use. Yes,

36
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:47,680
Speaker 1: he is just jacked up. I just say, all I'm

37
00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 1: saying is that's all you hear. And the balls and

38
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:52,400
Speaker 1: Tyler Lockett that might be good for Tyler. Yeah, I'm

39
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 1: gonna say for a team that's got a good return game,

40
00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:56,880
Speaker 1: that could be great. You get shorter kickoffs that he

41
00:01:56,920 --> 00:01:59,200
Speaker 1: can maybe catch at the five instead of five yards

42
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:02,040
Speaker 1: deep in the end zone. Yeah. Special teams are gonna

43
00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:03,560
Speaker 1: be really big this week, both sides of the ball.

44
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 1: So you are saying it's science, so this will happen science, Yes,

45
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:09,799
Speaker 1: that when the you know, I got in science. So

46
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:11,320
Speaker 1: I got it. I got it as some new with

47
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:14,399
Speaker 1: the temperature affects air pressure and so I mean, never

48
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:16,960
Speaker 1: mind the ball just feeling harder and the guy's legs

49
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:20,639
Speaker 1: being colder, the ball actually travels less far and colder. Okay,

50
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 1: there's science there. Yeah, don't shake your The golfer is

51
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:26,359
Speaker 1: nodding over there. He knows about that. Oh yeah, it's

52
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 1: a big deal in golf. Yeah, but golf. Golf's the impact,

53
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:34,720
Speaker 1: uh and temperature where we're dealing with PSI with the ball.

54
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 1: That's what you bring to the table, Brian, that's your

55
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 1: playoff expertise contribution. Okay, so if if we're lucky enough

56
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:44,800
Speaker 1: to get to Carolina, you get to say nothing because

57
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:47,040
Speaker 1: it's gonna be warmer, right, it's gonna be warmer, so

58
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:50,240
Speaker 1: you're out out. It's enjoyable to have you involved in

59
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 1: the podcast. Uh ten am. The team doesn't care. They're

60
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:57,120
Speaker 1: flying out today. They've been practicing all year at ten am.

61
00:02:57,120 --> 00:02:59,799
Speaker 1: It's what Pete Carroller I should say at training camp,

62
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:03,400
Speaker 1: and so they're ready for that. Marshawn Lynch returns and

63
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:06,320
Speaker 1: and someone asked me, Hey, how's he look And I

64
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:09,520
Speaker 1: just said, he looks the same, which is greatness. Yeah,

65
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:11,519
Speaker 1: he looks the same. So I wonder, you know, was

66
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:13,680
Speaker 1: he waiting for the playoffs or what have you. But

67
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:16,120
Speaker 1: he looks the exact same he does. I mean, he

68
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:18,480
Speaker 1: just he looks like his old self out there in practice.

69
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:21,239
Speaker 1: And it's I mean, it's such a big boost. Not

70
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 1: I mean, the guy's filling in. We're doing great. Chris

71
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:25,200
Speaker 1: and Michael out one hunter two yards as awesome, and

72
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:27,720
Speaker 1: they'll they'll lean on everybody. I would think again this week,

73
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:30,360
Speaker 1: but to add a guy like that, not just for

74
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 1: what he does on the field, but just what I mean,

75
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:34,200
Speaker 1: you hear guys just rave about him in that locker room,

76
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:37,280
Speaker 1: what he means of the team. Doug Baldwin called him

77
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 1: the engine of the offense. I mean, that's gonna be

78
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:41,480
Speaker 1: a real boost. Even if you know, if he goes down,

79
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 1: because eight carries, I'll still lift guys up. What was

80
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 1: cool this week was Thomas Thomas Rawls in the locker room.

81
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:49,280
Speaker 1: I said hi to him. His spirits seemed to be high.

82
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:50,640
Speaker 1: I don't know if he saw him this week. I

83
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:53,040
Speaker 1: missed him, but yeah, it's great he's around, and I mean,

84
00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:55,240
Speaker 1: it's it's really a shame what happened with him because

85
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 1: he was having such a phenomenal rookie year. But future

86
00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:00,400
Speaker 1: is really bright for that kid. Ten oh five NBC,

87
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:02,880
Speaker 1: you know, on the radio side, it's seven ten, ESPN,

88
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 1: Seattle and Cairo Radio ninety seven point three. You know,

89
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 1: I've heard a lot of talk this week that it

90
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:12,400
Speaker 1: is fantastic to get Marshawn Lynch back. But the writers

91
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:14,720
Speaker 1: and some of the theme is it's not as big

92
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:17,880
Speaker 1: as it was before because Russell Wilson is playing so good. Well,

93
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:19,800
Speaker 1: I think that's fair. It's not any knock on Lynch

94
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:22,000
Speaker 1: or the running game, but the passing game has been

95
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:24,480
Speaker 1: so good of late that you do feel better than

96
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:27,119
Speaker 1: ever about Okay, if the running game isn't going well,

97
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:29,479
Speaker 1: or if if Lynch isn't able to carry the ball

98
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:32,040
Speaker 1: twenty times or whatever happens. If you need to lean

99
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:34,520
Speaker 1: on Russell Wilson in the passing game more. They still

100
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 1: want to run it. But if you need to do that,

101
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:38,840
Speaker 1: they're capable of doing it. That's John Boyle, John P.

102
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:41,560
Speaker 1: Boyle at John P. Boyle. Correct? How come I never

103
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:43,760
Speaker 1: think I'm saying that right when I think it's d

104
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:46,520
Speaker 1: R P R B or you know something that rhymes

105
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:49,680
Speaker 1: with P. Yeah, well it is pd at John? How

106
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:55,039
Speaker 1: is that twitter handle going? It's fourteen tons for you

107
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:58,400
Speaker 1: think that's what separates you? Nah, I got five hundred.

108
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:01,640
Speaker 1: You should tweet more. I'll help, Yeah, you know it

109
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:03,800
Speaker 1: just it just doesn't tickle me. I just I don't know.

110
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:06,760
Speaker 1: I don't I don't know. Is that what you just

111
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:09,159
Speaker 1: tweet more than people follow you and people get retweeted,

112
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:11,760
Speaker 1: and how it gets red redone and then should like it?

113
00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:17,200
Speaker 1: I like that. I liked your tweet. I mean, so

114
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:20,600
Speaker 1: what I don't get it anything out of you, Brian. No,

115
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:23,200
Speaker 1: you're excited about Freezing. You're gonna be on the field,

116
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:26,240
Speaker 1: on the field. We're worried about him. Yeah, yeah, I

117
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:31,320
Speaker 1: got all worried uh, I think three four. How many

118
00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:34,039
Speaker 1: people from digital media of the Seahawks are gonna be

119
00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:36,800
Speaker 1: on the field? One? Two to you and who to

120
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:41,520
Speaker 1: Kenton Director, Kent the boss man. Come on, Yeah, first

121
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:44,960
Speaker 1: game he's ever had a working function on the field.

122
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:48,799
Speaker 1: The function? Can you say it? He's uh, He's gonna

123
00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:50,560
Speaker 1: do a little bit of snapchat. He's gonna do a

124
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:54,880
Speaker 1: little bit of shooting video over under seven minutes. That's

125
00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:57,040
Speaker 1: the over under that Kenton Olson and I love him.

126
00:05:57,360 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 1: He's see him in the press box after the opening, Kike,

127
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:02,440
Speaker 1: is there a nicer guy in this building? It's I mean,

128
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:06,119
Speaker 1: besides you, come on, there's a long list of people

129
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:08,880
Speaker 1: I won't say I won't say that the other way.

130
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:12,400
Speaker 1: There's a longer list than anyways. Kent Olson the nicest guy.

131
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:16,480
Speaker 1: He'll be in the press box. I'll go seven minutes

132
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:19,479
Speaker 1: and forty three seconds left in the first quarter. All right,

133
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:23,080
Speaker 1: there's no chance, Brian, there's no chance that cute little

134
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:26,800
Speaker 1: redhead is just gonna be so pink, so freezing. He's

135
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:30,880
Speaker 1: gonna be so cold. Yea. Seven minutes, forty three seconds

136
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:35,640
Speaker 1: market down, defense Bruce Servant, kJ Wright, Bobby Wagner playing

137
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:37,360
Speaker 1: at the top of the game and along with the

138
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:41,839
Speaker 1: tuber ubin and Brandon me Maine, there's Adrian Peterson looking

139
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:43,720
Speaker 1: you right in the eye. Yeah, I mean only eight

140
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:46,640
Speaker 1: carries last time for eighteen yards. You can it's pretty

141
00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:48,800
Speaker 1: safe bet to take the over on that for Adrian

142
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:51,080
Speaker 1: Peterson there. I mean that game got weird, and you know,

143
00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:52,880
Speaker 1: I think by the second half they weren't gonna bother.

144
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:54,200
Speaker 1: He was a little banged up at the time, so

145
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:55,719
Speaker 1: why I run him out there? But yeah, we'll see

146
00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:57,960
Speaker 1: a lot more of him. You gotta stop him. I

147
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 1: mean they showed that if tedgi Bridge has to come

148
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:02,800
Speaker 1: out and throw it to beat them, they're probably gonna

149
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:05,200
Speaker 1: have success. So that's it's it's gonna be a great test.

150
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:06,960
Speaker 1: But they've been good all year, number one in the

151
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:09,360
Speaker 1: league and run defense, the Seahawks win and move on.

152
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:11,400
Speaker 1: They would go to play Carolina. I want to go

153
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:14,000
Speaker 1: back a couple of weeks, John, because this this year,

154
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:16,680
Speaker 1: we we've met not a lot of Mondays there early

155
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:19,360
Speaker 1: odd but but after a while we meet on Monday

156
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:22,320
Speaker 1: and Friday. Was that Saint Louis loss? Was that a

157
00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:24,640
Speaker 1: good timing or are we just layman and it just

158
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:27,600
Speaker 1: doesn't work that way. No, I think there's something to that.

159
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:29,520
Speaker 1: I mean, part of it is just Saint Louis. I mean,

160
00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:31,320
Speaker 1: we've talked about that, but that's just the team that,

161
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:34,360
Speaker 1: for whatever reason, seems to have their number and various

162
00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:37,000
Speaker 1: aspects of the game. But kryptonite is what Peter King called.

163
00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:41,200
Speaker 1: The Rams still have a winning record over the Rams

164
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:43,120
Speaker 1: and all these years that people are staying their kryptonite.

165
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:44,800
Speaker 1: They're just a lot of ugly games and they've lost

166
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:48,080
Speaker 1: a few. But yeah, it's I mean, but yes, I

167
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:51,560
Speaker 1: think they're just agree with Peter King. Yeah I don't.

168
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:53,400
Speaker 1: I mean, go ahead, if it's kryptonite, they'd be like,

169
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:55,640
Speaker 1: I want eight against them the last firs. Good point,

170
00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:59,720
Speaker 1: but it's I mean, yeah, I think there's something to

171
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:01,760
Speaker 1: be said for losing the game when you're rolling and

172
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:03,560
Speaker 1: you're getting close to the playoffs, to kind of getting

173
00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:05,760
Speaker 1: humbled a little bit and give. You know, coaches talk

174
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:07,560
Speaker 1: about that, guys. You know, maybe they pay a little

175
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:09,560
Speaker 1: more attention in the meeting room the next day and

176
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:12,080
Speaker 1: all that, because it kind of reminds them that if

177
00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:14,480
Speaker 1: you're not on it any given weeks, somebody can jump

178
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:17,080
Speaker 1: up and bite you. Twenty three to seventeen that Seahawks

179
00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:19,400
Speaker 1: lost at home to Saint Louis, they traveled down to Arizona.

180
00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:22,200
Speaker 1: We talked about it on Monday thirty six to six,

181
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:24,840
Speaker 1: and here's the Minnesota do or die. And this is

182
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:27,520
Speaker 1: where I tell you the locker room was amazing this

183
00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:30,840
Speaker 1: week focused. I'm just so excited for ten or five

184
00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:33,600
Speaker 1: on Sunday. Yeah. I mean this team has really kind

185
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:36,240
Speaker 1: of been locked into this mode of they're really good

186
00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:38,080
Speaker 1: at being I mean, I think this is a reflection

187
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:40,199
Speaker 1: of the head coach. First all, they're being really good

188
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:43,600
Speaker 1: at being really focused in task at hand, but still

189
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:45,319
Speaker 1: having fun with it. And you know, they're goofing around

190
00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:47,600
Speaker 1: in the locker room, playing ping pong and just they're

191
00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:49,760
Speaker 1: kind of their usual routine, which is good to see

192
00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:51,720
Speaker 1: because you don't want to have it turn into some

193
00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:53,760
Speaker 1: big thing all of a sudden in the playoffs. Before

194
00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:56,840
Speaker 1: we go to the injury report, the Vikings do and

195
00:08:56,880 --> 00:08:58,800
Speaker 1: this is I think this is a huge deal. They're

196
00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:01,480
Speaker 1: hosting their first playoff game since two thousand and nine,

197
00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:03,160
Speaker 1: and it's gonna be a different team that we saw

198
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:05,400
Speaker 1: from a few weeks ago. Well, especially on defense, I mean,

199
00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:07,360
Speaker 1: they were missing some of their best players, their nose

200
00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:10,319
Speaker 1: tackling vall. Joseph was out, Anthony Barr left early in

201
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:12,480
Speaker 1: the game with an injury, Harrison Smith left early in

202
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:14,640
Speaker 1: the game. I mean that's that's arguably their best player

203
00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:16,400
Speaker 1: on every level of the defense, out of the game

204
00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:19,000
Speaker 1: within the first quarter. So you get all those guys back,

205
00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:21,760
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a much stiffer test for the Seahawks offense.

206
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:23,520
Speaker 1: I think they can still move the ball and do

207
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:25,839
Speaker 1: some good things, but you're not gonna see a thirty

208
00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:28,560
Speaker 1: point lead in the first half. I get nervous locally

209
00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:31,839
Speaker 1: here everyone's everyone's picking the Seahawks, and I think there

210
00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:35,199
Speaker 1: is Someone wrote about it earlier that what people are

211
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:39,199
Speaker 1: overlooking the vikings are they just assuming? Yeah, it's hard

212
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:41,079
Speaker 1: to forget that result that happened. I mean there was

213
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:42,960
Speaker 1: only a month ago, and that was I mean, other

214
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:45,400
Speaker 1: than one kick return, that was about as dominant of

215
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:48,320
Speaker 1: a of a performance by one team as you could see.

216
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:50,520
Speaker 1: So I get where people look at this game and

217
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:53,920
Speaker 1: have a hard time seeing how it's dastically different in

218
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:56,280
Speaker 1: terms of the result. But you can't. I mean, the

219
00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:59,480
Speaker 1: players know, the coaches know, they can't overlook anything. I mean,

220
00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:01,520
Speaker 1: the Vikings are really good team. You don't win eleven games.

221
00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:03,800
Speaker 1: You don't go to Lamb, thank you, and win a

222
00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:06,840
Speaker 1: division chick clinching game on the road if you're not

223
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:08,760
Speaker 1: a good team. Yep, and it was it was Chicago

224
00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:10,319
Speaker 1: in New York at home. And I know those aren't

225
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:12,520
Speaker 1: the biggest opponents, but you still win, and you win

226
00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:17,079
Speaker 1: convincingly thirty eight seventeen, Minnesota back on the twentieth of

227
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:20,520
Speaker 1: December forty nine to seventeen, putting up forty nine points

228
00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:22,960
Speaker 1: against the Giants and then going to Green Bay for

229
00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:25,720
Speaker 1: the division. Right it's on the line for the division.

230
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:28,600
Speaker 1: You win the division title at Lambo twenty to thirteen,

231
00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:30,680
Speaker 1: coming in with a three game winning streak. I don't

232
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:32,880
Speaker 1: think anybody realizes that. I mean, they're just kind of

233
00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:35,840
Speaker 1: moving off that. Yeah, and it's I mean, again, you

234
00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:38,160
Speaker 1: don't win eleven games in this league being bad. You

235
00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:40,160
Speaker 1: just don't. I mean, they had a bad day. We've

236
00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:42,959
Speaker 1: seen the see I mean, I'm sure that their players

237
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:45,080
Speaker 1: feel like they had a bad day, like the Seahawks

238
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:47,120
Speaker 1: had a bad day against her Am. Sometimes things just

239
00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:49,440
Speaker 1: don't go your way. It kind of snowballed on them.

240
00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:51,160
Speaker 1: Once the score got out of hand. But yeah, we're

241
00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:53,480
Speaker 1: gonna see a lot better team injury report. Coach was

242
00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:55,960
Speaker 1: talking on his morning show, tell me about it. It's

243
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:59,160
Speaker 1: looking very good. Unfortunately, Luke Wilson appears to have kind

244
00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:00,880
Speaker 1: of had some sort of set back in the concussion

245
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:04,439
Speaker 1: protocol because he is not gonna play. According to Pete Carroll, No,

246
00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:07,360
Speaker 1: maybe not crap back, but yeah, it's but the fact

247
00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:10,760
Speaker 1: that he practiced still there and then he came back

248
00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:13,600
Speaker 1: and then was out of practice again. Something something they noticed,

249
00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:15,760
Speaker 1: you know, I don't sure, we don't know exactly what happened.

250
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:20,960
Speaker 1: But unfortunately Russell, everybody else, Marshawn Lynch, I mean, yeah,

251
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:24,040
Speaker 1: they're gonna they're gonna be really close to full strength,

252
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:26,640
Speaker 1: which is just a great thing going in the playoffs.

253
00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:28,560
Speaker 1: And then you have Chase Kaufman with a game under

254
00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:31,959
Speaker 1: his belt and he made some place. He looked really good. Yeah,

255
00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:33,680
Speaker 1: that was a good guy. I talked to him yesterday.

256
00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:36,040
Speaker 1: We had him on the radio show yesterday out of Missouri.

257
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:41,160
Speaker 1: Very mellow, very mellow, dude, big tall, pretty quick. Yeah, No,

258
00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:43,560
Speaker 1: it's it's great. I mean we all go out sign

259
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:44,920
Speaker 1: a guy like that in the middle of the season.

260
00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:48,680
Speaker 1: You know, pick up a Bryce Brown, a hell, Kristen Nikes.

261
00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:51,199
Speaker 1: I mean, these guys they've added that we're just kind

262
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:53,560
Speaker 1: of injury replacement who are all contributed in a big way.

263
00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:55,360
Speaker 1: That's that's a big deal this time here you can

264
00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:58,240
Speaker 1: hear that interviews dot Com by the way, Oh yeah,

265
00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:00,880
Speaker 1: the Chase Kaufman interview. Excellent, I'll check it out. And

00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:17,400
Speaker 1: complain about. I mean, good for you. You know, that's refreshing.

272
00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:19,240
Speaker 1: The most time I'll spend outside is if I go

273
00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:22,040
Speaker 1: for a walk to find dinner or something, and it

274
00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:23,880

Speaker 1: gonna be like in the teens on Saturday. We'll have fun.

276
00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:27,839
Speaker 1: We can we can we do one more thing. You

277
00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:29,240
Speaker 1: can do whatever you want. I don't, Well, this is

278
00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:32,080
Speaker 1: your podcast. I'm just a guest. The news. Have you

279
00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:34,480
Speaker 1: seen the news of the day. Jim Zorn raised the

280
00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:37,600
Speaker 1: twelth man flag on top the space the news to day,

281
00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:41,360
Speaker 1: Tyler Lockett first team All Pro returner, Yeah, big deal.

282
00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:43,319
Speaker 1: How cool is that? That's awesome. I was next to

283
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:45,480
Speaker 1: him when he was told Yeah, I think you actually

284
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:47,520
Speaker 1: were there too. Yeah, And that was the first time

285
00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:51,080
Speaker 1: he was like, oh, um, oh cool. Yeah, you know

286
00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:53,480
Speaker 1: what I mean. I mean, he's so humble, humble dude.

287
00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:56,360
Speaker 1: The only rookie on the first team. Wow. And then

288
00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:58,000
Speaker 1: on the flip side, I think there's gonna be some

289
00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:00,600
Speaker 1: defensive players but the little extra chip on their shoulder

290
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:04,439
Speaker 1: this week, which will be fun. Oh lead the league

291
00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:07,439
Speaker 1: in defense for scoring defense for four straight years. It's

292
00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:10,120
Speaker 1: a whole team set a single first teamer. They got

293
00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:13,040
Speaker 1: Bobby Wagner, Richard Sherman on the second team. Earl Thomas

294
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:14,839
Speaker 1: apparently is not one of the four best safeties in

295
00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:17,400
Speaker 1: the NFL. I have a hard time with that. Yeah,

296
00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:21,320
Speaker 1: that's tough. Khalil Mack can get two positions. Yeah, I

297
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:22,920
Speaker 1: don't know. I haven't seen the full list yet. I

298
00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:25,120
Speaker 1: just know what the Seahawks did and it's, uh, you know,

299
00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:28,320
Speaker 1: it's unfortunate for those guys individually, because these honors mean something.

300
00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:30,840
Speaker 1: But it might actually be a great thing for the team,

301
00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:33,079
Speaker 1: because we've seen this team when guys get that a

302
00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:39,200
Speaker 1: little extra and Lockett obviously the return yet return. I

303
00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:41,000
Speaker 1: just can't I can't get over that. We talked about

304
00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:43,360
Speaker 1: him on the postgame show last last week, and that

305
00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:45,839
Speaker 1: was a pretty good draft pick, hunh it was. It's unbelievable.

306
00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:48,080
Speaker 1: And you think you gave up four picks to move

307
00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:50,680
Speaker 1: up from something to sixty five? I forget ninety to

308
00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:54,200
Speaker 1: sixty five. Yeah, pretty substantial move up in the third round. Absolutely,

309
00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:57,600
Speaker 1: and everybody you know, So I started thinking, So John

310
00:13:57,640 --> 00:13:59,559
Speaker 1: Schneider's on the phone with who did we get to

311
00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:03,040
Speaker 1: pick from? Sorry to put your washhot, I believe, Okay,

312
00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:06,800
Speaker 1: I'm not positive. Okay, I'm sorry. And and uh here

313
00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:10,760
Speaker 1: he is saying, you know, the other GM's thinking, who

314
00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:13,600
Speaker 1: does he want? Yeah, because he never trades up, that's

315
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:16,200
Speaker 1: the thing. They always go back. Absolutely. Do you think

316
00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:18,319
Speaker 1: the other GM says, I'll do it if you tell

317
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:20,200
Speaker 1: me who you're taking, you know what I mean? Yeah,

318
00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:21,640
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean I don't know how those work.

319
00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:24,040
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be surprised. Sometimes if John tell me who

320
00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:26,320
Speaker 1: you're taking. Nope, I won't you make the deal and

321

00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:32,000
Speaker 1: and read it on unbelievable. If it was Washington, it

324
00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:35,640
Speaker 1: would be Scott yeah, mclu yeah, and so obviously tight.

325
00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:39,080
Speaker 1: But um, I just find that fascinating. You give up that,
