1
00:00:01,320 --> 00:00:18,239
Speaker 1: The volume. What is going on everybody? How are we doing?

2
00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:21,480
Speaker 1: John Middlecoff Three and Out Podcasts brought to you by

3
00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:26,360
Speaker 1: my friends at Zone Pouches. Hopefully everyone is doing well.

4
00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:29,880
Speaker 1: Maybe as well as the Seattle Seahawks, who are the

5
00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:35,000
Speaker 1: number one overall seed in the NFC. Probably not as

6
00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:39,360
Speaker 1: well as the forty nine Ers who did not look good,

7
00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:45,440
Speaker 1: who got destroyed physically mentally and probably lost some players

8
00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:47,880
Speaker 1: to injuries because that's usually what happens, and are now

9
00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:50,479
Speaker 1: probably going to be the sixth seed. I'm recording this

10
00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:53,840
Speaker 1: late Saturday night. If the Rams win, Rams will be

11
00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:58,280
Speaker 1: five nine or six Seattle one. Now, the NFC West

12
00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:00,320
Speaker 1: is a little different than the other division that we

13
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:03,120
Speaker 1: saw today, which felt kind of like a preseason game

14
00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:08,280
Speaker 1: that was that was tough to watch. So we'll talk

15
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:11,600
Speaker 1: to the majority about the Niner Seattle game again, just

16
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:20,120
Speaker 1: crowding achievement for Sam, John Schneider, Mike McDonald, pretty cool

17
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:23,520
Speaker 1: moment for that franchise, and rough night for the Niners. Wow, jeez.

18
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:27,039
Speaker 1: We'll talk a little bit about the other game, but

19
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 1: not much. I got a theory that not a theory,

20
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:33,039
Speaker 1: but a take that I think needs to get instituted.

21
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:37,040
Speaker 1: Moving forward when it comes to under five hundred division champs.

22
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:40,280
Speaker 1: So make sure you subscribe to the podcast, make sure

23
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:44,600
Speaker 1: you subscribe to the YouTube, and we'll be back again

24
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:51,560
Speaker 1: Sunday night after the almost Ravens Steeler game. Looks like

25
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:54,560
Speaker 1: the mar Is gonna play, looks like TJ. Watt's gonna play. Exciting,

26
00:01:56,040 --> 00:02:00,040
Speaker 1: but let's just dive right into Seattle. Give them the

27
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 1: flowers because the Seattle Seahawks accomplished an incredible feat tonight,

28
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 1: becoming the number one seed. Leading up to Week one,

29
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:13,880
Speaker 1: they were a five to one underdog to win the division.

30
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:17,880
Speaker 1: The forty nine ers were favored. Obviously things changed throughout

31
00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:19,760
Speaker 1: the course of the season with their injuries, but still,

32
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:22,079
Speaker 1: I mean, they have Kyle Shanahan, they got Robert Sala,

33
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 1: They were favored to win it. And right there with

34
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:29,160
Speaker 1: them was the Los Angeles Rams and the Seattle Seahawks

35
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 1: with Sam Darnold, second year coach Mike McDonald, and future

36
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame general manager John Schneider are the number

37
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:40,799
Speaker 1: one set. Right before I hopped on here, I googled,

38
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:44,519
Speaker 1: which is essentially AI, and I said, when was the

39
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:49,800
Speaker 1: last time Seattle hosted a playoff game? And that was

40
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:54,320
Speaker 1: twenty seventeen. The Seattle Seahawks, who early on in Pete

41
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:57,720
Speaker 1: Carroll's tenure, was I would say one of the best

42
00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:01,080
Speaker 1: teams in the league. Well, people forget those last several

43
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:03,959
Speaker 1: years of Russell Wilson, even when he was playing pretty well.

44
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:06,680
Speaker 1: They were going on the road. They have not hosted

45
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 1: a playoff game where it is an extremely tough place

46
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:13,360
Speaker 1: to play. Is a massive home field advantage. One of

47
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:16,120
Speaker 1: the really like I would say, a short list of

48
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:19,840
Speaker 1: teams the would say have a collegiate feel in almost

49
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:24,359
Speaker 1: a decade. And they deserved it because they dominated the

50
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 1: Niners tonight. They dominated him. Honestly, at half when it

51
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:33,000
Speaker 1: was ten to three, I went, the Niners should be,

52
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:36,520
Speaker 1: you know, doing cartwheels that this is a one score game.

53
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:39,560
Speaker 1: The Niners had three first downs in the first half,

54
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:43,400
Speaker 1: Seattle four xem on first downs. They almost had two

55
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 1: hundred yards of offense in the first half. And here's

56
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 1: the thing. The forty nine Ers had been playing the

57
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 1: last couple of weeks teams with no defense, and they

58
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:55,120
Speaker 1: eviscerated them and tonight, and I've been saying this for

59
00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 1: a while. Mike McDonald, if he was an offensive coach

60
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:01,520
Speaker 1: would be one of the toe of the league. But

61
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:06,200
Speaker 1: he's a defensive guy, and we just celebrate offense more.

62
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:09,280
Speaker 1: We just do. I mean, the league is built and

63
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 1: the business is built now around offense. You are completely

64
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:16,960
Speaker 1: screwed as a defensive player when it comes to you know,

65
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 1: no matter how great you are, you don't get as

66
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:21,960
Speaker 1: much credit as the offensive guys. Obviously, from a playing

67
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:25,680
Speaker 1: standpoint and the officiating standpoint, you're at a huge disadvantage.

68
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:28,440
Speaker 1: And we talk a ton. I mean, obviously, Andy'd been

69
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:32,320
Speaker 1: toasted the league for the last half decade in Kyle

70
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:35,360
Speaker 1: and McVeigh and all the other offensive guys around the

71
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:38,200
Speaker 1: league we talk about and I'm guilty as anybody NonStop,

72
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:40,360
Speaker 1: but i haven't beaten the drum for this guy. He's

73
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:44,279
Speaker 1: elite and now his record and his ability against Kyle

74
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:47,960
Speaker 1: Shanahan kind of speaks for itself. I mean, the forty

75
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:52,919
Speaker 1: nine ers offense is built on running the ball. I

76
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:56,680
Speaker 1: think probably with him the last year, Jay Gruden, you know,

77
00:04:56,760 --> 00:05:00,200
Speaker 1: former NFL coach, John's brother, came on this show and

78
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:03,640
Speaker 1: we were just bsa talking football and we talked about

79
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:07,080
Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan, that offense, and he said, from a pure

80
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:10,720
Speaker 1: passing standpoint, that's not what they do. Like, no one

81
00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:14,560
Speaker 1: studies their offense for just drop back passing. It is

82
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:19,280
Speaker 1: an offense going back to his father, which ironically Clint Kubiak,

83
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:22,880
Speaker 1: who's now the offensive coordinator for Seattle, who's the son

84
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 1: of Gary who played for Mike Shanahan, coach for Mike Shanahan.

85
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:30,160
Speaker 1: Kyle played for the Kubiak might as well. That family

86
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:33,640
Speaker 1: might as well be the cousins of the Shanahan. The

87
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:37,000
Speaker 1: entire offense is predicated on running the ball, and when

88
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:39,600
Speaker 1: you can run the ball, you dominate in the passing

89
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:43,520
Speaker 1: game because the majority of their passes, if your quarterback

90
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:47,160
Speaker 1: is just competent, are layups. And then it's the NFL,

91
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:49,240
Speaker 1: so obviously they are gonna be plays where you have

92
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:52,080
Speaker 1: to make. But how many times to night Sam Darnold

93
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:55,200
Speaker 1: on these boots is he just dumping it off? Because

94
00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:57,920
Speaker 1: that's the job in this offense. And when you can

95
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:00,760
Speaker 1: run the ball, as Kubiak and see did the night

96
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:02,600
Speaker 1: they had one hundred and eighty yards on the ground,

97
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:06,760
Speaker 1: you removed the nine yards Sam Darnold had. Their two

98
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:09,800
Speaker 1: running backs went for one hundred and seventy one yards.

99
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:13,680
Speaker 1: They dominated on the ground. Meanwhile, the forty nine ers,

100
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:17,120
Speaker 1: who you know, coming into this game, I would say

101
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:19,480
Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey's widely considered not just one of the best

102
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:21,760
Speaker 1: running backs in the league, one of the best players.

103
00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:25,240
Speaker 1: Had eight carries for twenty three yards. They had twelve

104
00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:29,440
Speaker 1: carries for fifty three yards. If you told me the

105
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:31,400
Speaker 1: forty nine ers are gonna have a game where they

106
00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:34,200
Speaker 1: get twelve carries and they're playing a team like Seattle,

107
00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:37,240
Speaker 1: who has a good defense, they're gonna have no chance

108
00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:39,680
Speaker 1: to win. Also, if you would have told me that

109
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:42,600
Speaker 1: the forty nine ers would have three points, I'd be like,

110
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:45,240
Speaker 1: I bet Purty throws a bunch of interceptions. That was

111
00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:48,000
Speaker 1: not the case, right, He obviously had the one at

112
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:51,680
Speaker 1: the goal line where McCaffrey dropped it. But like perty

113
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:54,440
Speaker 1: was fine, Like it wasn't Like he wasn't their problem.

114
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:57,120
Speaker 1: They can't run the ball. When they can't run the ball,

115
00:06:57,160 --> 00:06:59,800
Speaker 1: their offense does not work. They're not built the play

116
00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:04,839
Speaker 1: life that and Mike McDonald now and like it wasn't

117
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:06,680
Speaker 1: like he was at home last week. They played on

118
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:09,279
Speaker 1: the road, had to fly across the country, and they

119
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:14,600
Speaker 1: physically manhandled the forty nine ers shoved them around. It

120
00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:18,080
Speaker 1: felt like every time they tackled them, guys went backwards.

121
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:21,240
Speaker 1: Treykeman even said it on a late run by McCaffrey,

122
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:24,280
Speaker 1: it looks like he's running into a brick wall. He

123
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:26,600
Speaker 1: has nowhere to go. Even if you put Barry Sanders

124
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:29,080
Speaker 1: in there tonight, maybe he gave us a couple more

125
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:32,400
Speaker 1: yards juking a guy out, But there was no green grass.

126
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:35,920
Speaker 1: And the way this team was built physically from a

127
00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:39,760
Speaker 1: defensive standpoint, I mean all their DB's hit. You can't

128
00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:43,720
Speaker 1: be a physical defense in my opinion, just based off

129
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:48,680
Speaker 1: your defensive line. Your secondary has to hit and Seattle.

130
00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:51,720
Speaker 1: The team that they are going to be remembered for

131
00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:55,880
Speaker 1: forever is the lob Seattle Seahawks, right one A super

132
00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:58,640
Speaker 1: Bowl went to another well. Part of the reason that

133
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:01,960
Speaker 1: defense was so feared, and I think they led the

134
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:05,000
Speaker 1: league in scoring defense four years in a row because

135
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:08,160
Speaker 1: their secondary hit like they were Ray Lewis or Bryan Orlecker.

136
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:13,040
Speaker 1: Obviously Earl Thomas and Camp Chancellor, but Earl Richard Sherman,

137
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:16,440
Speaker 1: to me, is the greatest tackling cornerback I'd ever seen.

138
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:19,800
Speaker 1: And that's the way these guys play. Now the forty

139
00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:23,120
Speaker 1: nine Ers DB's hit two. It's honestly the only reason

140
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:27,760
Speaker 1: their defense had a shot because their defensive backs tackle,

141
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:31,640
Speaker 1: their d line can't really do much right, and obviously

142
00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:33,840
Speaker 1: their linebackers. I mean, by the end of the game,

143
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:37,080
Speaker 1: they're playing with guys that were free agents like three

144
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:41,760
Speaker 1: weeks ago. But Seattle deserved to win tonight. They manhandled

145
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:44,760
Speaker 1: this game from the jump. They went right down the

146
00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:49,040
Speaker 1: field on the first drive of the game, and honestly,

147
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:55,040
Speaker 1: I thought Mike went for it on fourth down because

148
00:08:55,360 --> 00:09:00,120
Speaker 1: everyone's kind of been saying, right, you're too conservative, and

149
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:03,360
Speaker 1: he's playing Kyle Shanahan, who their offense had been I

150
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:06,240
Speaker 1: think what, scored ten touchdowns in the last two weeks,

151
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:09,040
Speaker 1: so he's thinking like, hey, we got to score touchdowns,

152
00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:12,160
Speaker 1: and it backfired, and then I think the next couple

153
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:14,160
Speaker 1: drives he realized, we don't need to play this way.

154
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:18,160
Speaker 1: I need to do exactly what I've been doing, be conservative.

155
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:22,240
Speaker 1: Because the forty nine Ers offense, best case, was gonna

156
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:24,400
Speaker 1: get to the low teens. It was not gonna be

157
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:28,600
Speaker 1: a game when they scored many points their defensive line.

158
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:31,000
Speaker 1: I mean that last play of the game, technically the

159
00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:32,600
Speaker 1: last play of the game for the forty nine ers.

160
00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:36,040
Speaker 1: I thought brock Perty was murdered. He honestly, I thought, like,

161
00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:39,560
Speaker 1: how did he just shatter his entire lower body? And

162
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:42,920
Speaker 1: all night long they beat the shit out of them.

163
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:46,880
Speaker 1: They hit him over and over and over again. And

164
00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:50,839
Speaker 1: when they didn't hit him anyone he threw to they

165
00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:56,319
Speaker 1: destroyed and help. Kittle's a good example. Typically in a game,

166
00:09:56,480 --> 00:10:01,640
Speaker 1: George and he had five catches for thirty yards. Typically

167
00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:05,920
Speaker 1: he's more like five or six, four seventy and of

168
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:09,120
Speaker 1: those seventy, maybe thirty or thirty five or forty or

169
00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:12,880
Speaker 1: after the catch, because he'll break a tackle, he'll run

170
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:16,920
Speaker 1: over dB, he'll throw a linebacker to the side that

171
00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:21,800
Speaker 1: was not taking place. Tonight, Seattle showed up to just

172
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:26,160
Speaker 1: shove the Niners around, and Mike McDonald owned Kyle Shanahan

173
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:29,280
Speaker 1: to night. Kyle had no answers. The forty nine Ers

174
00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:32,800
Speaker 1: had one good drive ended on a freak interception, but

175
00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:37,439
Speaker 1: they had one good drive all night long, and it

176
00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:39,920
Speaker 1: was a big play by Kittle, big play by Perty's legs,

177
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:43,840
Speaker 1: a big play by Juwan Jennings interception. Game over. It

178
00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:46,880
Speaker 1: happened that fast. It was thirteen to three, like Okay,

179
00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:49,520
Speaker 1: the forty nine Er score here, thirteen to ten, low scoring,

180
00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:53,000
Speaker 1: weird game, anything's possible. Ten minutes left in the game,

181
00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:58,520
Speaker 1: interception happened, game over happened like that, And honestly, the

182
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:02,600
Speaker 1: Niners were extreme fortunate to be in that position. Right

183
00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:04,720
Speaker 1: Myers had missed a field goal, they had gone forward

184
00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:07,800
Speaker 1: on fourth down, you know, down deep in the red zone.

185
00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:12,319
Speaker 1: You look at the statistics. To me, the staff that

186
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:16,320
Speaker 1: jumps out the most is they had twenty three first downs.

187
00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:21,120
Speaker 1: The forty nine Ers had nine. That is a crazy statistic.

188
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:25,720
Speaker 1: The Niners offense had nine first downs, they only had

189
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:27,960
Speaker 1: three in the first half. They only had six in

190
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:30,280
Speaker 1: the second half, and four of them came on the

191
00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:35,640
Speaker 1: one fucking drive. I mean it was I mean, from

192
00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:38,719
Speaker 1: a Mike McDonald's standpoint, what was online to be the

193
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:42,320
Speaker 1: number one overall seed like a picasso like that was

194
00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:46,439
Speaker 1: chef kiss moment on the season for him. I mean,

195
00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:50,200
Speaker 1: what a what a performance from his unit, from his

196
00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:53,240
Speaker 1: team to come on the road and listen, you know,

197
00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:56,200
Speaker 1: the forty nine Ers defense is terrible. It's it's no

198
00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:59,160
Speaker 1: one's fault. It is what it is. It's a personnel standpoint.

199
00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:03,000
Speaker 1: You argue their best defensive player is a fifth round

200
00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:07,640
Speaker 1: one hundred and sixty pound rookie slot corner. But they

201
00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:09,720
Speaker 1: still have a lot of pride. They are still extremely

202
00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:13,839
Speaker 1: well coached and to just dominate this game. And I

203
00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:17,600
Speaker 1: think we also learned this the last couple of weeks.

204
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:20,040
Speaker 1: The forty nine ers had beat teams where they could

205
00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:22,800
Speaker 1: just outscore them. It's almost like, if you're a basketball team,

206
00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:24,720
Speaker 1: we're gonna get into games where it's like one hundred

207
00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:27,079
Speaker 1: and thirty, one hundred and twenty. We're comfortable in that environment.

208
00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:29,800
Speaker 1: But if the game gets like in the high eighties

209
00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:33,240
Speaker 1: or low nineties, which I haven't watched much NBA this year,

210
00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:36,360
Speaker 1: but I don't think that happens anymore. Back in my day,

211
00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:39,080
Speaker 1: get off my lawn moment used to happen a lot. Hell,

212
00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:41,000
Speaker 1: there used to be like NBA Finals in the seventies

213
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:43,439
Speaker 1: and in eighties the Spurs used to do it a lot.

214
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:46,199
Speaker 1: But are you comfortable playing in those games? Do you

215
00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:48,720
Speaker 1: have a good defense? And it turned out tonight the

216
00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:51,080
Speaker 1: forty nine ers are not comfortable playing in a low

217
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:54,679
Speaker 1: scoring game because that means their defense gonna be on

218
00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:58,760
Speaker 1: the field and the time of possession of thirty seven

219
00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:02,880
Speaker 1: to twenty two, technically thirty eight to twenty two. If

220
00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:05,439
Speaker 1: you I'm gonna round up in Roundown. I mean that

221
00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:11,320
Speaker 1: says it all. Because Seattle Charbona and Kenneth Walker. I

222
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:14,040
Speaker 1: guess Seattle fans are down on Kenneth Walker. I know

223
00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:15,480
Speaker 1: he can be a little hit or miss. I've always

224
00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:18,440
Speaker 1: had a soft spot for him. After his performance at

225
00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:21,920
Speaker 1: Michigan State got mel Tucker an extension before he got

226
00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:25,920
Speaker 1: caught having sexual relations with the chick. That speaks to

227
00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:29,680
Speaker 1: the team about being careful about having sexual relations. But

228
00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:33,720
Speaker 1: that's a conversation for a different day. Again, consensual a thought,

229
00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:36,720
Speaker 1: but again I don't even care. But got mil Tucker

230
00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:38,560
Speaker 1: fired for cause not ideal when he had a ninety

231
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:41,760
Speaker 1: five million dollar contract because of Kenneth Walker. Sharbone definitely

232
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:46,720
Speaker 1: always liked him. It was it was extremely impressive, it

233
00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:49,480
Speaker 1: really was. And let's face it, like, you know, Coach

234
00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:52,359
Speaker 1: of the Year Kyle Shanahan had a ton of momentum.

235
00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:56,360
Speaker 1: Mike McDonald just destroyed that. Like, Kyle Shanner's not winning

236
00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:59,559
Speaker 1: Coach of the Year now, He's just not And you

237
00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:01,640
Speaker 1: can be like, you can't, No, he's not winning Coach

238
00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:04,320
Speaker 1: of the Year, especially if Ben Johnson wins tomorrow and

239
00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:06,320
Speaker 1: Mike Rabel wins tomorrow and they're both the two seed,

240
00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:08,920
Speaker 1: one of those two guys are getting it, you know,

241
00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:11,600
Speaker 1: if not, they split it. But it ended at night

242
00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:14,280
Speaker 1: for Kyle Shannon. And there also was a play tonight

243
00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:17,800
Speaker 1: on a fourth down where the game was seven to

244
00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:21,520
Speaker 1: nothing and they ran a play action play that was

245
00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:25,920
Speaker 1: a shot to Kittle that they never showed the replay

246
00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:28,600
Speaker 1: on ESPN, but it was clear it was gonna be

247
00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:32,000
Speaker 1: play action. McCaffrey go to eighty five and I don't

248
00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:34,920
Speaker 1: know if the safety and the corner both ran with Kittle.

249
00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:37,600
Speaker 1: I don't know if just the safety covered and Brock

250
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:40,480
Speaker 1: was afraid to throw a fifty to fifty ball, But

251
00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:43,240
Speaker 1: clearly the play did not work, and it was an

252
00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:46,600
Speaker 1: extremely bad play call to have one option and then

253
00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:48,640
Speaker 1: perty ends up dumping it off and it doesn't even

254
00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:50,440
Speaker 1: get close to the first down. And so many times

255
00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:54,600
Speaker 1: a night they ran plays, and this is why they

256
00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:58,480
Speaker 1: didn't have that many first downs where even if the

257
00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:00,960
Speaker 1: guy I guess against like the team like the Bears,

258
00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:04,560
Speaker 1: maybe a Juwan Jennings or DeMarcus Robinson or even a

259
00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:06,600
Speaker 1: George Kittle or us check can break a tackle and

260
00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:08,240
Speaker 1: get a first down. But you can't do that against Seattle.

261
00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:12,880
Speaker 1: They were just too good of a tackling team. Honestly,

262
00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:17,040
Speaker 1: it reminded me a lot of Indiana and Miami over

263
00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:19,280
Speaker 1: the course of the last several days, how they play defense.

264
00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:22,920
Speaker 1: Not just open field tackling, but when I tackle you,

265
00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:28,080
Speaker 1: you're gonna fucking feel it. And you know, that's where

266
00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:31,840
Speaker 1: the GM gets a lot of credit for drafting those players,

267
00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:35,440
Speaker 1: for getting the right type guys. And one thing they

268
00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:39,360
Speaker 1: know is this goes back to the Lob days. They

269
00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:42,520
Speaker 1: know the type guys from a physicality standpoint, from a

270
00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:45,720
Speaker 1: mindset standpoint, that play like that, and the forty nine

271
00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:48,200
Speaker 1: ers do too. They just they're all in the boxes

272
00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:51,240
Speaker 1: because they got broken ankles or you know, broken knees.

273
00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:56,280
Speaker 1: So it was it was a masterclass tonight on defense.

274

302
00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:51,480
Speaker 1: taking a lot of heat and listen. I said it

303
00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:56,400
Speaker 1: coming into this game, advantage forty nine ers at quarterback. Honestly,

304
00:17:56,400 --> 00:17:59,280
Speaker 1: I thought it was a big advantage. Sam Darnold had

305
00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:03,240
Speaker 1: a of interceptions Aikman mentioned tonight, a lot of them

306
00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:06,439
Speaker 1: come on third down led the league. And he had

307
00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:09,760
Speaker 1: six fumbles, so he has twenty overall turnovers. Now, I

308
00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:13,600
Speaker 1: texted a buddy this week, some of those fumbles, at

309
00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:15,280
Speaker 1: least that I've seen when I've been on my couch

310
00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:18,000
Speaker 1: watching football on Sundays, have been when he's getting hit

311
00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:21,240
Speaker 1: it from behind. So it's like he gets crushed for

312
00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:24,600
Speaker 1: fumble turnovers. But if I'm about to throw and someone

313
00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:28,000
Speaker 1: destroys me and the ball comes out, is that really

314
00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:30,160
Speaker 1: my fault? Or is it one of the offensive lineman's fault?

315
00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:33,920
Speaker 1: I tend to blame the offensive lineman. But who knows,

316
00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:36,280
Speaker 1: maybe quarterback coach or a coordinator or the head coach

317
00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:39,480
Speaker 1: would tell me different. But still like numbers of the numbers.

318
00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:43,400
Speaker 1: He had twenty turnovers, I thought tonight, and again he

319
00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:46,600
Speaker 1: played in a Shanahan Kubiak offense night, You'd be like, well,

320
00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:49,280
Speaker 1: who's numbers are not that great? He didn't throw for that.

321
00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:52,760
Speaker 1: That's winning football when your team is built like this

322
00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:57,040
Speaker 1: and you go twenty of twenty six. I thought he

323
00:18:57,200 --> 00:19:02,080
Speaker 1: only really made one questionable throw the entire night, and

324
00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:04,359
Speaker 1: that was late in the game. He was rolling to

325
00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:08,480
Speaker 1: his left. He throws it to Smith and Jigba. He

326
00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:11,240
Speaker 1: kind of overthrows it a little bit, but it was

327
00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:15,199
Speaker 1: so close to the sideline. Ernardo Green technically caught it

328
00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:17,239
Speaker 1: or picked it off, but he was so far out

329
00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:19,760
Speaker 1: of bounds it didn't even matter. Now at that time,

330
00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:21,960
Speaker 1: you're like, hey, man, we can't play our balls. Next

331
00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:23,679
Speaker 1: play they call a run, They're like, hey, we're not

332
00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:26,359
Speaker 1: even messing with it. But over the course of the game,

333
00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:32,600
Speaker 1: I thought precise accurate on time in command. I do

334
00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:34,919
Speaker 1: think over the course of the season, it's definitely the

335
00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:38,159
Speaker 1: second half of the season. He gets a little sped

336
00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:41,239
Speaker 1: up and he can be a little erratic. That's kind

337
00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:42,919
Speaker 1: of the knock on him going back to the end

338
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:46,480
Speaker 1: of last year. He just gets frenetic, right, And that's

339
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:50,000
Speaker 1: usually what that's the difference between the great quarterbacks. Always

340
00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:55,720
Speaker 1: under control, always poised, always calm, and when Sam gets

341
00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:59,359
Speaker 1: a little off kilter, like any quarterback that's not an elite,

342
00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:03,040
Speaker 1: elite all time, you can start feeling them getting frenetic.

343
00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:05,840
Speaker 1: Anyone that plays golf, when you start kind of pressing,

344
00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:08,919
Speaker 1: you start going fast, and it gets worse. No different

345
00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:11,280
Speaker 1: with the quarterback and his feet. Sat a couple of

346
00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:14,160
Speaker 1: times with perty tonight because he starts hearing footsteps. Don't

347
00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:17,119
Speaker 1: even blame him. But you can't play like that. You

348
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:19,560
Speaker 1: have to be calm, and I thought for the most

349
00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:22,560
Speaker 1: part he was really really calm, did a great job,

350
00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:26,000
Speaker 1: took what was there, was accurate, made some really good

351
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:28,600
Speaker 1: throws down the middle of the field, and listen. It

352
00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:34,560
Speaker 1: doesn't end the questions like I wouldn't put, you know,

353
00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:38,080
Speaker 1: ten thousand dollars on him to win playoff games. I

354
00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:41,040
Speaker 1: would still be a little nervous. But if they can

355
00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:43,639
Speaker 1: play in games where they can dictate the terms, and

356
00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:46,000
Speaker 1: if They're gonna run the ball like that. They can

357
00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:49,000
Speaker 1: win the NFC. They can run the ball like that. Now,

358
00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:52,159
Speaker 1: some of these defenses will see how the you know,

359
00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:54,560
Speaker 1: the scheduling breaks and who wins and who they end

360
00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:58,600
Speaker 1: up playing in the first round, But like that is

361
00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:03,000
Speaker 1: their formula. Run the ball, have Donald throw under thirty

362
00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:07,840
Speaker 1: times and play defense. And I think they would tell you,

363
00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:11,360
Speaker 1: if we can play games where Donald has less than

364
00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:15,040
Speaker 1: thirty attempts, we can win the Super Bowl. If we

365
00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:18,119
Speaker 1: play in a game where he's got to have forty

366
00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:21,080
Speaker 1: plus attempts, it's probably gonna be hard for us to

367
00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:25,000
Speaker 1: win that game, or just could get weird, right, And

368
00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:27,600
Speaker 1: this goes back to I'll never forgets. A buddy told

369
00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:30,960
Speaker 1: me that was with the Jets, that when SLA interviewed,

370
00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:34,800
Speaker 1: they liked Sam Darnald and they said they thought they

371
00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:37,560
Speaker 1: could win with Sam Darnald, and he was bringing Lafleur

372
00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:41,359
Speaker 1: from the forty nine ers, and the mindset was gonna

373
00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:45,239
Speaker 1: be around the offense, running the Shanahan offense, which Seattle does,

374
00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:49,480
Speaker 1: which obviously the forty nine ers do, is playing games, dominate,

375
00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:52,360
Speaker 1: running the ball, build a good defense, and have him

376
00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:55,480
Speaker 1: play where his pass attempts are between twenty five and

377
00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:59,960
Speaker 1: thirty and in those twenty five to thirty, seventy five

378
00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:04,240
Speaker 1: percent of them are gonna be relatively easy throws, as

379
00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:06,720
Speaker 1: you saw a lot of times a night, and then

380
00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:09,919
Speaker 1: they're gonna be ten to fifteen percent, or he's just

381
00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:12,520
Speaker 1: gonna have to make a play, and he did tonight.

382
00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:16,640
Speaker 1: It's why this offense is so good. When you run

383
00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:19,199
Speaker 1: the ball, now, you're not always gonna run it for

384
00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:22,159
Speaker 1: you know, four and a four point six yards of

385
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:24,359
Speaker 1: carry and just the ease in which they did tonight.

386
00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:27,840
Speaker 1: But if you can run forty times for one hundred

387
00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:30,840
Speaker 1: and fifty yards, if you can control the clock and

388
00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:33,479
Speaker 1: you have a good defense, it's a formula that has

389
00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:37,479
Speaker 1: worked since the sixties the seventies, still works today, and

390
00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:40,160
Speaker 1: it will always work no matter how much you want

391
00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:44,479
Speaker 1: to get pass happy. And here's the other thing with Seattle, like,

392
00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:47,560
Speaker 1: there's a decent chance you get a rainy game, So

393
00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:49,919
Speaker 1: whoever you are playing, you're probably not gonna throw it

394
00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:53,240
Speaker 1: for three hundred fifty yards rain win could be cold.

395
00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:57,880
Speaker 1: The Elements play in their style of football. If I'm them,

396
00:22:58,040 --> 00:23:01,680
Speaker 1: I want it to be shitty weather. That translates that

397
00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:05,320
Speaker 1: will work now depends on who they play. If they

398
00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:08,440
Speaker 1: do get into a situation where they're down, anything's possible,

399
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:13,399
Speaker 1: because obviously eleven is an elite player. But they do

400
00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:16,200
Speaker 1: depend a lot on you know, older Cooper cup who

401
00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:18,680
Speaker 1: made a nice catch, a nice play tonight. And they're

402
00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:23,879
Speaker 1: running backs. I mean Walker at sixteen carries Charboney at seventeen,

403
00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:28,000
Speaker 1: Walker had four catches, so he had twenty touches. Charbonay

404
00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:30,960
Speaker 1: at three, so they had forty touches with their two

405
00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:35,159
Speaker 1: running backs. Like that, that was McDonald's gonna get a

406
00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:38,560
Speaker 1: lot of credit because the defense dominated rightfully so but

407
00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:41,879
Speaker 1: Koubiak tonight that that was in front of you know,

408
00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:45,479
Speaker 1: I'm sure one of his mentors. Like I said, family

409
00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:49,480
Speaker 1: cousin essentially had to feel pretty good, had to feel

410
00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:53,520
Speaker 1: really really good. And congrats to Seattle fourteen and three

411
00:23:55,359 --> 00:23:59,160
Speaker 1: signing Sam Darnold. This offseason, let's face it pretty polarizing.

412
00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:02,439
Speaker 1: There were a lot of people, I think the analytical

413
00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:04,400
Speaker 1: community up until a couple of weeks ago, was trying

414
00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:07,840
Speaker 1: to tell everyone Geno Smith is good. Gino Smith's a

415
00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:11,920
Speaker 1: great story, resurrected his career, ended up making a bunch

416
00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:15,720
Speaker 1: of money helped Seattle get to the playoffs post Russell Wilson.

417
00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:18,040
Speaker 1: If you're trying to tell me Geno Smith is a

418
00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:20,600
Speaker 1: good player, I don't know what tell you. If you

419
00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:22,680
Speaker 1: want Geno Smith to be your starting quarterback in twenty

420
00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:24,959
Speaker 1: twenty five, Like, I don't know what to tell you

421
00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:29,760
Speaker 1: Sam Donald's dramatic upgrade. Like I watched Geno Smith play

422
00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:32,520
Speaker 1: the forty nine ers a lot look like shit every time,

423
00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:39,159
Speaker 1: I mean, terrible, terrible, and Sam donaldnight, I mean, was

424
00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:41,200
Speaker 1: in the driver's seat for that bad boy. I don't

425
00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:44,040
Speaker 1: want to say like led them, but was a big

426
00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:46,040
Speaker 1: part of it. Made some big time plays and honestly,

427
00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:48,320
Speaker 1: they could have put it on. I think everyone thought, like,

428
00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:50,879
Speaker 1: oh they're Sam. Those first couple of plays in the

429
00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:53,399
Speaker 1: red zone and the first drive of the game, which

430
00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:56,680
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna argue weren't good, But over the course

431
00:24:56,680 --> 00:24:57,800
Speaker 1: of the rest of the game, I thought he was

432
00:24:57,840 --> 00:25:00,240
Speaker 1: really good. I thought he was really good and if

433
00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:04,240
Speaker 1: he plays well, this team is one hundred percent of contender.

434
00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:08,159
Speaker 1: And the forty nine ers, like, I didn't think perty

435
00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:10,520
Speaker 1: was that bad. He was nineteen to twenty seven. A

436
00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:12,760
Speaker 1: couple of those incompletions late in the game at one

437
00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:14,720
Speaker 1: point in time, he was like nineteen to twenty five

438
00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:17,919
Speaker 1: or nineteen to twenty three. He was pretty accurate. They

439
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:21,479
Speaker 1: didn't have the ball that often. I mean, how many

440
00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:25,120
Speaker 1: plays did they run the night they had forty two?

441
00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:30,480
Speaker 1: Seattle had twenty five more plays. The forty nine ers

442
00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:36,360
Speaker 1: ran forty two plays. They just they could never get

443
00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:38,320
Speaker 1: in the position where it's like third and one. It

444
00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:40,480
Speaker 1: always felt like it was third and four, third and five.

445
00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:45,399
Speaker 1: They're so dependent on Kendrick Bourne and DeMarcus Robinson. In

446
00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:47,399
Speaker 1: fairness to Marcus, Robinson made a couple of plays to Night,

447
00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:49,480
Speaker 1: three catches for twenty four yards. I think he had

448
00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:55,639
Speaker 1: a couple first downs. But when McCaffrey, I don't even

449
00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:58,640
Speaker 1: want to blame him, but just was not really a factory.

450
00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:02,840
Speaker 1: Night had some catches, some dump downs, but that that interception,

451
00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:07,280
Speaker 1: like that's that's one of those where you know it

452
00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:09,800
Speaker 1: goes on Purties record, But I know the ball was

453
00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:12,600
Speaker 1: tipped and a little behind him. I think he'd be

454
00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:14,760
Speaker 1: the first to tell you I have to catch that

455
00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:17,240
Speaker 1: one hundred out of one hundred times. Now you could

456
00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:20,439
Speaker 1: argue it's a little freaky when he drops it. Brooks

457
00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:22,760
Speaker 1: is right there catches it, which is a nice defensive play.

458
00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:26,280
Speaker 1: Seattle's executives all go nuts up there in the suite,

459
00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:30,600
Speaker 1: But that was a killer. I mean that that felt

460
00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:33,119
Speaker 1: like a nail in the back of the cranium. It's like,

461
00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:37,040
Speaker 1: this thing's fucking this thing's a rap. And he just

462
00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:40,280
Speaker 1: he was a guy who wasn't gonna win the MVP.

463
00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:43,080
Speaker 1: But if they were gonna win this game, they were

464
00:26:43,119 --> 00:26:45,880
Speaker 1: gonna need an MVP type performance from him. They were

465
00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:49,360
Speaker 1: gonna need him to be brilliant and dominate, break tackles,

466
00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:53,000
Speaker 1: be like superhuman. And maybe it's just because the accumulation

467
00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:56,919
Speaker 1: of the amount of carries and touches he's had this season,

468
00:26:56,960 --> 00:26:59,440
Speaker 1: and Pharnasey's had to have him, they've had to play

469
00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:02,960
Speaker 1: like they've been like. I mean, they won a game

470
00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:06,520
Speaker 1: last week forty two to thirty eight. The previous week,

471
00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:10,200
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers threw like multiple touchdowns. They scored twenty seven

472
00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:13,240
Speaker 1: the cole scored twenty seven points. I mean, their defense

473
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:19,440
Speaker 1: is awful that they can't stop anybody. They They did

474
00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:21,159
Speaker 1: sack Dornold a couple of times, so they end the

475
00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:24,639
Speaker 1: season with twenty sacks at least the regular season, which

476
00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:28,000
Speaker 1: is gonna be last in the league. They don't gain

477
00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:32,840
Speaker 1: pressure the one time they blitz and it works. D Winners.

478
00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:36,040
Speaker 1: I thought he originally tore his achilles. I think he

479
00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:38,920
Speaker 1: just rolled his ankle really bad, but was right there.

480
00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:43,480
Speaker 1: And that's where like the blitz was perfectly called. The

481
00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:46,959
Speaker 1: offensive lineman split like the red Sea, hold right up

482
00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:51,240
Speaker 1: the gut. D Winners, who's a really good athlete, fires

483
00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:54,320
Speaker 1: right through. And you see this happen a lot, especially

484
00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:57,719
Speaker 1: with like Lamar or Kyler, the high end running quarterbacks.

485
00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:05,040
Speaker 1: They make those guys miss. But Donald's a solid athlete.

486
00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:08,560
Speaker 1: There has to be some sort of like in basketball,

487
00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:11,320
Speaker 1: when you sprint up to a guy, you don't just

488
00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:13,200
Speaker 1: run right through him. Once you get close, you kind

489
00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:17,639
Speaker 1: of shuffle your feet, you break down like D Winner,

490
00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:20,199
Speaker 1: he cannot run away from D Winners. But if D

491
00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:24,080
Speaker 1: Winner is gonna run in a vertical line full speed,

492
00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:26,080
Speaker 1: which I guess D Winner is probably like a four

493
00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:28,840
Speaker 1: to six guy, so he's hauling ass, all Seam has

494
00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:30,600
Speaker 1: to do is move over and then the D Winners

495
00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:33,520
Speaker 1: rolls his ankles probably out for the season, seem runs

496
00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:36,879
Speaker 1: for a first down. That's where obviously you see it

497
00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:39,560
Speaker 1: countless other times. But Fred Warner is the best blitzing

498
00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:43,760
Speaker 1: linebacker in the league. That is a seven or eight

499
00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:47,160
Speaker 1: yard sack. If it's Fred Warner, well it's his backup

500
00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:51,200
Speaker 1: or a backup, you know, d Winners technically like a

501
00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:56,840
Speaker 1: rotational starter, depending on who's healthy. But withfs, Donald goes

502
00:28:58,200 --> 00:29:00,400
Speaker 1: and I think you saw that constantly tonight of just

503
00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:02,800
Speaker 1: guys flying around that probably shouldn't be out there, but

504
00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:05,320
Speaker 1: you don't have a choice, and they're just not good enough.

505
00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:09,040
Speaker 1: And this is I would say, you know, in college,

506
00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:14,280
Speaker 1: next man up pre nil at places like Georgia, Bama, Texas,

507
00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:16,680
Speaker 1: Oregon and all the good schools, next man up could

508
00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:19,320
Speaker 1: be like a five star ret refreshman. So like, yeah,

509
00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:21,640
Speaker 1: we don't know who this is. Turns out as Tyron Matthew,

510
00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:26,320
Speaker 1: turns out as uh, you know, Kyle Pitts. Fuck who knows?

511
00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:28,600
Speaker 1: It could be great players. That's not the case in

512
00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:33,160
Speaker 1: the NFL. It's just not there's a huge drop off

513
00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:37,240
Speaker 1: for backups. Trent Williams is a twelve time pro bowler.

514
00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:40,880
Speaker 1: Austin Pleas has never started a game in his NFL career.

515
00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:46,000
Speaker 1: Clearly there is a drop off. Trent Williams. If I

516
00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:49,880
Speaker 1: tied his legs together, you know, probably could be fifty

517
00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:54,280
Speaker 1: percent of that guy. It's not even it's not even comparable, right,

518
00:29:54,360 --> 00:29:57,320
Speaker 1: it's not even the forty nine ers wide receiver group listen.

519
00:29:58,320 --> 00:30:03,120
Speaker 1: Ricky pearsall is is an incredible story. He got shot

520
00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:07,440
Speaker 1: at point blank, point blank range. The doctor, I think

521
00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:11,320
Speaker 1: it's Stanford Medical, said like ninety plus or maybe it

522
00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:14,720
Speaker 1: was like ninety five plus percent in that area. Die

523
00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:18,720
Speaker 1: it kills you. He lived, fought him off, refused to

524
00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:24,080
Speaker 1: give up his sub mariner. Fuck yeah, Ricky. But so

525
00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:28,720
Speaker 1: it's like there's no one disputing his toughness again, thought

526
00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:33,240
Speaker 1: off a point blank glock to the chest, not only

527
00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:35,560
Speaker 1: lived to tell about it, came back and played in

528
00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:39,280
Speaker 1: the NFL as a rookie. But this year they're very

529
00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:42,479
Speaker 1: dependent on Ricky Pierso. Why Ricky Pierso is a good player,

530
00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:47,520
Speaker 1: high end player see Seattle. If Seattle had him healthy

531
00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:51,200
Speaker 1: with Jackson Smith, their offense would be elite. Like he

532
00:30:51,760 --> 00:30:56,400
Speaker 1: is a impact player, especially in the Shanahan offense. But

533
00:30:56,480 --> 00:31:00,520
Speaker 1: he gets injured all the time. If you're removed the

534
00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:03,760
Speaker 1: gunshot situation. When he showed up the forty nine ers

535
00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:06,360
Speaker 1: he had a shoulder, He's had hamstring. He's obviously dealt

536
00:31:06,360 --> 00:31:08,920
Speaker 1: with a knee. Even the day when his injury said

537
00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:14,200
Speaker 1: knee slash ankle. I get it, Trent Freak injury running

538
00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:16,280
Speaker 1: down a guy he's not used to running full speed

539
00:31:17,080 --> 00:31:20,760
Speaker 1: hell cross the starting left tackle for the Seattle Shawks

540
00:31:20,760 --> 00:31:24,120
Speaker 1: as a hamstring. It happens, big guy, That's nothing you

541
00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:27,320
Speaker 1: can do about it. The Ricky Pearsall situation really bit

542
00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:30,240
Speaker 1: the Niners in the as tonight because you felt it offensively,

543
00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:33,480
Speaker 1: especially against that secondary where you need a little juice.

544
00:31:34,600 --> 00:31:38,840
Speaker 1: Juwan Jennings is an excellent player. He is a winning

545
00:31:39,040 --> 00:31:42,280
Speaker 1: he's a he's a he's what I call war daddy. Listen,

546
00:31:42,320 --> 00:31:43,800
Speaker 1: I don't know what he's saying when he's talking shit

547
00:31:43,840 --> 00:31:46,760
Speaker 1: to people. Some people think he's crossing the line. One

548
00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:49,120
Speaker 1: dude on the Browns called him ahoe this year. He

549
00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:51,560
Speaker 1: just said, hey, I'm just talking. Tonight, he took a

550
00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:54,200
Speaker 1: guy for a ride into the into the gatorade buckets.

551
00:31:55,120 --> 00:31:59,160
Speaker 1: He pisses people off, but he's a player. But if

552
00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:01,520
Speaker 1: you're depending on him be your number one wide receiver,

553
00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:04,560
Speaker 1: it's gonna be really hard at the highest level. It

554
00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:08,440
Speaker 1: really is he's not fast enough, so you need speed

555
00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:13,000
Speaker 1: and just playmaking ability outside of him, right And they

556
00:32:13,080 --> 00:32:15,040
Speaker 1: just didn't have that tonight. And a big reason is

557
00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:18,280
Speaker 1: Ricky Pearsol. They drafted him in the first round, in

558
00:32:18,320 --> 00:32:22,560
Speaker 1: the first freaking round. Meanwhile, the first rounds players for

559
00:32:22,640 --> 00:32:25,560
Speaker 1: the other team, Like you're really feeling the North Dakota

560
00:32:25,560 --> 00:32:29,920
Speaker 1: State offensive lineman Witherspoon's hitting like he's Richard Sherman. They

561
00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:33,800
Speaker 1: were fucking laying the lumber, which I love. I mean,

562
00:32:33,840 --> 00:32:38,240
Speaker 1: I love violence in terms of watching it. I'm not

563
00:32:38,280 --> 00:32:41,120
Speaker 1: a violent individual, don't have much violence in me. I'm

564
00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:45,640
Speaker 1: not the biggest guy, but I gravitate toward violence, especially

565
00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:49,200
Speaker 1: in this sport. Love watching it. My favorite teams are violent,

566
00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:53,640
Speaker 1: physical teams. It's why, Listen, I got married in Nashville,

567
00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:55,160
Speaker 1: but I haven't spend that much time in the South.

568
00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:59,440
Speaker 1: But I've gravitated to the SEC over the past ten, twelve,

569
00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:03,760
Speaker 1: fifteen year why it's the most violent conference. I love

570
00:33:03,960 --> 00:33:07,680
Speaker 1: violent football teams, and Seattle is and when they're playing

571
00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:09,480
Speaker 1: like that, they're they're really really hard to be and

572
00:33:09,520 --> 00:33:12,200
Speaker 1: the Niners just couldn't match it. They're not built like

573
00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:15,200
Speaker 1: that right now, and they're guys. I don't know if

574
00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:19,760
Speaker 1: they were clearly McCaffrey's running empty a little bit. You know,

575
00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:23,479
Speaker 1: Kittle's just he's a badass. He's playing through an ankle injury.

576
00:33:23,840 --> 00:33:27,240
Speaker 1: They just had no juice. Perty's getting hit like he's

577
00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:31,920
Speaker 1: you know, their defensive lines Anthony Joshua, and he's Jake

578
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:36,760
Speaker 1: Paul every play, Like Jesus, get is Brock dead? You know,

579
00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:38,480
Speaker 1: when Jake Paul got hit in the mouth and he

580
00:33:38,520 --> 00:33:41,400
Speaker 1: went down, You're like, is he gonna get up? That's

581
00:33:41,480 --> 00:33:43,680
Speaker 1: that's how I felt in the last play, like is Brock?

582
00:33:44,320 --> 00:33:46,040
Speaker 1: And then I looked at my wife, I'm like, well,

583
00:33:46,280 --> 00:33:49,560
Speaker 1: they have a game next week? Yeah, miss is it?

584
00:33:49,640 --> 00:33:52,880
Speaker 1: Mac Jones starting the playoff game? And then Brock got

585
00:33:52,960 --> 00:33:54,920
Speaker 1: up and his hands bleed and he limping off, and

586
00:33:55,040 --> 00:33:59,160
Speaker 1: like Jesus, this is one of those games where the

587
00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:02,960
Speaker 1: whole team's gonna be in the ice bat tomorrow. And

588
00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:08,960
Speaker 1: that's let's go big picture here. I don't I think

589
00:34:08,960 --> 00:34:11,839
Speaker 1: they're in trouble. I mean, there's no way around it.

590
00:34:12,680 --> 00:34:14,920
Speaker 1: They are a team not built to just rattle off

591
00:34:15,040 --> 00:34:19,640
Speaker 1: victories on the road. And if they get Philadelphia, who

592
00:34:20,040 --> 00:34:23,799
Speaker 1: you know, offense a little like Seattle. It's not great now,

593
00:34:23,880 --> 00:34:26,879
Speaker 1: you would say top to bottom, they got more impactful

594
00:34:26,920 --> 00:34:32,640
Speaker 1: players AJ Brown, Devonte Smith, Saquon Goddard, which I don't

595
00:34:32,640 --> 00:34:36,440
Speaker 1: care how hit or miss they're play calling, and Jalen

596
00:34:36,520 --> 00:34:38,960
Speaker 1: can be in the passing game. You can just score

597
00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:41,040
Speaker 1: some touchdowns on the Niners defense, and you definitely can

598
00:34:41,120 --> 00:34:45,000
Speaker 1: run it on them. But that's a tough game. And

599
00:34:45,120 --> 00:34:47,480
Speaker 1: Kettle mentioned it tonight, He's like the hard part for us.

600
00:34:48,040 --> 00:34:50,880
Speaker 1: We're a West Coast team, so if we have to

601
00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:54,520
Speaker 1: play Chicago or even farther Philly, we got a long

602
00:34:54,600 --> 00:34:57,600
Speaker 1: ass flight. And that's what a huge advantage it was

603
00:34:57,640 --> 00:35:00,440
Speaker 1: for Seattle, both their flights if they go on the

604
00:35:00,560 --> 00:35:02,560
Speaker 1: If Seattle had to go play Philly or had to

605
00:35:02,640 --> 00:35:05,680
Speaker 1: go play Carolina or Tampa, even those teams are easy,

606
00:35:06,320 --> 00:35:08,640
Speaker 1: the Rams more likely they're gonna have to play Carolina

607
00:35:08,680 --> 00:35:13,879
Speaker 1: or Tampa. It's a long ass flight. I've made. It sucks,

608
00:35:14,280 --> 00:35:18,120
Speaker 1: it takes forever, and I'm just doing something I don't

609
00:35:18,160 --> 00:35:20,960
Speaker 1: know vacation, well, I don't even know why. I haven't

610
00:35:20,960 --> 00:35:24,239
Speaker 1: necessarily made it from LA to Tampa, but I've flown

611
00:35:24,280 --> 00:35:27,320
Speaker 1: across country a bunch of times, lived in Philadelphia, flown

612
00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:30,440
Speaker 1: from Florida out to the West Coast. You're on the

613
00:35:30,440 --> 00:35:34,040
Speaker 1: plane forever. I just flew this year to before a

614
00:35:34,040 --> 00:35:37,279
Speaker 1: football season to White It was like a five hour

615
00:35:37,320 --> 00:35:43,160
Speaker 1: and twenty minute flight from Sky Harbor to Maui and

616
00:35:43,520 --> 00:35:45,600
Speaker 1: like two hour three hours in. I'm like, how much

617
00:35:45,640 --> 00:35:47,680
Speaker 1: longer do we have? You look down, it's like two hours.

618
00:35:48,239 --> 00:35:51,000
Speaker 1: I was just going there to booze and swim, not

619
00:35:51,080 --> 00:35:53,600
Speaker 1: playing a football game. So it's it's hard. That's why

620
00:35:53,600 --> 00:35:56,240
Speaker 1: it was such. That's why this game was so huge

621
00:35:56,239 --> 00:35:59,279
Speaker 1: for whoever won it because of the advantage. Clearly, you

622
00:35:59,320 --> 00:36:02,719
Speaker 1: get the buys massive, but the travel aspect of the

623
00:36:02,719 --> 00:36:07,040
Speaker 1: playoffs for these teams when the other teams that are

624
00:36:07,120 --> 00:36:10,799
Speaker 1: making the playoffs are way far away, right, So if

625
00:36:10,800 --> 00:36:14,879
Speaker 1: you're Seattle never had to leave, I mean, and your

626
00:36:14,880 --> 00:36:19,400
Speaker 1: home field advantage huge. The rest component, you know, again,

627
00:36:19,480 --> 00:36:22,879
Speaker 1: it's hard. I haven't even you have to know who

628
00:36:22,920 --> 00:36:24,520
Speaker 1: wins to even know who they're gonna play. I mean,

629
00:36:24,520 --> 00:36:27,279
Speaker 1: they could go anywhere from the Rams to you know,

630
00:36:27,320 --> 00:36:29,759
Speaker 1: who knows. Mate would have Green Bay upsets Chicago, which

631
00:36:29,800 --> 00:36:31,319
Speaker 1: I don't think is gonna happen, but if it does,

632
00:36:31,440 --> 00:36:34,200
Speaker 1: it's happened before when Green Bay upset Dallas a couple

633
00:36:34,200 --> 00:36:36,799
Speaker 1: of years ago, it doesn't even matter. They're coming to

634
00:36:36,840 --> 00:36:40,400
Speaker 1: you and they've just played more than likely a knocked in, knockdown,

635
00:36:40,480 --> 00:36:43,680
Speaker 1: drag out game. Meanwhile, the forty nine Ers, I would guess,

636
00:36:43,880 --> 00:36:50,720
Speaker 1: probably play next Sunday, probably Sunday one o'clock in Philadelphia. Again,

637
00:36:50,800 --> 00:36:52,600
Speaker 1: you want to see the matchups to kind of know,

638
00:36:52,680 --> 00:36:54,560
Speaker 1: but that that would probably be my guest right now,

639
00:36:55,040 --> 00:36:57,799
Speaker 1: because I saw Peter Schrager thinking that the Monday night

640
00:36:57,840 --> 00:37:04,920
Speaker 1: game will be whoever wins tomorrow Ravens or Steelers hosting

641
00:37:04,960 --> 00:37:10,319
Speaker 1: probably the Houston Texans. And my guess with the forty

642
00:37:10,360 --> 00:37:12,920
Speaker 1: nine Ers even either play that first game. You know,

643
00:37:13,320 --> 00:37:17,239
Speaker 1: they showed the thing tonight, Fox, CBS, Amazon. We just

644
00:37:17,280 --> 00:37:20,680
Speaker 1: don't know who has what. But there's always an NFC

645
00:37:20,719 --> 00:37:25,160
Speaker 1: game either on Sunday morning or Sunday afternoon for us,

646
00:37:25,600 --> 00:37:28,440
Speaker 1: you know, on the West coast ten o'clock or one o'clock.

647
00:37:28,840 --> 00:37:32,160
Speaker 1: I would guess Philly Niners would be one o'clock. I

648
00:37:32,200 --> 00:37:34,239
Speaker 1: don't know if the AFC would have a better game

649
00:37:34,239 --> 00:37:38,040
Speaker 1: than that, and I could see Buffalo Jacksonville at ten am. Again,

650
00:37:38,080 --> 00:37:40,480
Speaker 1: could be totally off on this that would just be

651
00:37:40,600 --> 00:37:45,640
Speaker 1: way too early, guests, But I just don't. I mean,

652
00:37:45,680 --> 00:37:47,239
Speaker 1: I think it would be a miracle right now if

653
00:37:47,280 --> 00:37:48,840
Speaker 1: the forty nine ers won to one playoff game, and

654
00:37:48,880 --> 00:37:52,120
Speaker 1: I think that'd be an incredible accomplishment. You could argue

655
00:37:52,360 --> 00:37:56,080
Speaker 1: going twelve and five and making the playoffs with that roster.

656
00:37:56,480 --> 00:37:57,960
Speaker 1: I mean, part of the reason they're twelve to five.

657
00:37:58,239 --> 00:38:01,560
Speaker 1: Forty Niners beat Seattle in Seattle, they beat the Rams

658
00:38:01,640 --> 00:38:05,000
Speaker 1: in Los Angeles. Those are two of their wins and

659
00:38:05,080 --> 00:38:07,040
Speaker 1: obviously one of the craziest games they've ever had against

660
00:38:07,040 --> 00:38:10,720
Speaker 1: the Chicago Bears, who've had an incredible season, and Chicago

661
00:38:10,800 --> 00:38:15,080
Speaker 1: wins tomorrow. What are they thirteen win team? I don't

662
00:38:15,120 --> 00:38:18,360
Speaker 1: want to get that wrong Chicago right now, they'd be twelve.

663
00:38:19,200 --> 00:38:23,200
Speaker 1: So they beat a thirteen win team, a fourteen win team,

664
00:38:23,400 --> 00:38:25,400
Speaker 1: and a twelve win team. So like people like, oh,

665
00:38:25,440 --> 00:38:28,440
Speaker 1: forty nineers beating nobody, No, they beat three playoff teams,

666
00:38:28,640 --> 00:38:30,600
Speaker 1: the number one seed, the number five seed, and probably

667
00:38:30,600 --> 00:38:34,319
Speaker 1: the number two seed. But the problem was tonight the

668
00:38:34,360 --> 00:38:36,440
Speaker 1: team that they played Seattle with was a lot different

669
00:38:36,440 --> 00:38:39,400
Speaker 1: than the team they played Seattle with in Seattle. In

670
00:38:39,440 --> 00:38:44,480
Speaker 1: Seattle knew it, and the coaching ability of Mike is

671
00:38:44,600 --> 00:38:49,480
Speaker 1: just top notch. I'm just that was incredible and that

672
00:38:49,520 --> 00:38:52,640
Speaker 1: shit translates it really does. I mean, they were might

673
00:38:52,680 --> 00:38:54,440
Speaker 1: pick a couple of years ago to win the Super Bowl.

674
00:38:55,080 --> 00:38:57,120
Speaker 1: I put one of the biggest bets of my life

675
00:38:57,239 --> 00:39:01,439
Speaker 1: against the Chiefs against them in that AFC Championship game,

676
00:39:01,880 --> 00:39:04,960
Speaker 1: and it wasn't because of the defense. Lamar played like

677
00:39:05,040 --> 00:39:09,080
Speaker 1: shit in that game. They lost seventeen to ten. Pat

678
00:39:09,120 --> 00:39:11,520
Speaker 1: Mahomes scored seventeen points. I'm pretty sure they had fourteen

679
00:39:11,520 --> 00:39:14,920
Speaker 1: in the first half. Maybe all seventeen if I remember correctly,

680
00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:17,279
Speaker 1: but definitely fourteen. Definitely, the two touchdowns came in the

681
00:39:17,280 --> 00:39:22,360
Speaker 1: first half. So McDonald's stud no way around it. Do

682
00:39:22,400 --> 00:39:26,000
Speaker 1: I think they can win the Super Bowl. I don't

683
00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:28,919
Speaker 1: know if I'd go that far, but I think it'd

684
00:39:28,960 --> 00:39:32,640
Speaker 1: be shocking if they're not in the AFC champ or

685
00:39:32,640 --> 00:39:40,279
Speaker 1: in the NFC Championship game. But if it is Seattle, Chicago,

686
00:39:40,520 --> 00:39:44,800
Speaker 1: Philly and the Rams play whatever one of these shitty

687
00:39:44,880 --> 00:39:49,200
Speaker 1: teams makes the playoffs, Let's give the Rams that win,

688
00:39:49,280 --> 00:39:52,480
Speaker 1: and let's say the Bears and Philly beats the Niners,

689
00:39:53,440 --> 00:39:55,839
Speaker 1: Seattle would have to play the Rams in their first

690
00:39:55,840 --> 00:40:00,160
Speaker 1: playoff game, which would suck. I mean that's that. Yes,

691
00:40:00,960 --> 00:40:03,560
Speaker 1: I think if you're Seattle, you would actually rather play

692
00:40:04,160 --> 00:40:08,359
Speaker 1: Philly or Chicago, so you could argue getting the one

693
00:40:08,480 --> 00:40:12,040
Speaker 1: seed in a weird way for Seattle is more difficult

694
00:40:12,080 --> 00:40:14,239
Speaker 1: because I think if you're Seattle, if you're ranking your

695
00:40:14,239 --> 00:40:18,000
Speaker 1: opponents that you would want to play in your first

696
00:40:18,040 --> 00:40:21,839
Speaker 1: play NFC championship game, you obviously play whoever, but your

697
00:40:21,840 --> 00:40:24,360
Speaker 1: first playoff game in the divisional round and you have

698
00:40:24,400 --> 00:40:27,440
Speaker 1: to play the Rams. Like, I think, we just pulled

699
00:40:27,440 --> 00:40:30,360
Speaker 1: a bunch of gms and pulled a bunch of NFL people.

700
00:40:31,040 --> 00:40:33,560
Speaker 1: How would you rank the top four teams in the NFC,

701
00:40:33,800 --> 00:40:35,400
Speaker 1: because now you've got to drop the Niners out of

702
00:40:35,400 --> 00:40:38,279
Speaker 1: it based on their defensive performance the last several weeks.

703
00:40:38,560 --> 00:40:43,080
Speaker 1: It just sucks. You know, you would definitely have Seattle

704
00:40:43,080 --> 00:40:45,680
Speaker 1: on the Rams would be one two. Some people might

705
00:40:45,680 --> 00:40:46,840
Speaker 1: even be like, hey, if the Rams s need has

706
00:40:46,880 --> 00:40:48,919
Speaker 1: figured out, tomorrow'll get a little momentum in that first

707
00:40:48,920 --> 00:40:52,960
Speaker 1: weekend that they're gonna be tough. Philly. I mean they

708
00:40:53,000 --> 00:40:55,839
Speaker 1: go three and out, feels like every other drive. They

709
00:40:55,840 --> 00:40:59,680
Speaker 1: had seventeen yards in the second half last week Chicago

710
00:41:00,160 --> 00:41:03,560
Speaker 1: defense is basically the forty nine ers. I've been saying

711
00:41:03,560 --> 00:41:06,600
Speaker 1: this forever. I don't watch high school football, but I'm

712
00:41:06,600 --> 00:41:08,200
Speaker 1: gonna stick with this. At the highest levels of a

713
00:41:08,280 --> 00:41:11,520
Speaker 1: high school, maybe high school's a little different. Definitely college

714
00:41:12,040 --> 00:41:14,799
Speaker 1: and clearly the pros. You could not win big if

715
00:41:14,840 --> 00:41:18,400
Speaker 1: you do not play defense. It is impossible. There is

716
00:41:18,440 --> 00:41:22,840
Speaker 1: no If I read one more article about Cliff Kingsbury

717
00:41:22,880 --> 00:41:25,520
Speaker 1: becoming a head coach, I'm gonna throw up in my mouth. Hey,

718
00:41:25,560 --> 00:41:29,120
Speaker 1: do these people not watch football? Is this an agent

719
00:41:29,239 --> 00:41:33,040
Speaker 1: driven story? What are we talking about head coach in

720
00:41:33,080 --> 00:41:37,520
Speaker 1: the NFL? What Cliff Kingsbury? Do you guys just witness

721
00:41:37,560 --> 00:41:41,000
Speaker 1: what happened and part of the dysfunction in Arizona in

722
00:41:41,080 --> 00:41:44,240
Speaker 1: terms of his accountability and toughness, which translates to defense.

723
00:41:45,520 --> 00:41:47,920
Speaker 1: It's kind of like a shittier version of Lincoln Riley.

724
00:41:48,360 --> 00:41:51,839
Speaker 1: That does not work. What's winning in college football right now?

725
00:41:52,200 --> 00:41:57,000
Speaker 1: Indiana destroying people on defense, Oregon dominating the defensive side

726
00:41:57,000 --> 00:42:02,000
Speaker 1: of the ball, Miami crushing people. Ole Miss has got

727
00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:05,360
Speaker 1: the little D. Two guys make it sweet plays. Obviously,

728
00:42:05,480 --> 00:42:11,080
Speaker 1: in the NFL, defense matters a lot pass rush, dB play, physicality,

729
00:42:11,640 --> 00:42:15,799
Speaker 1: obviously your schemes within that and if this like the

730
00:42:15,800 --> 00:42:17,759
Speaker 1: Bears and their fans will be the first to tell you,

731
00:42:17,840 --> 00:42:21,600
Speaker 1: like your defense is the same as the Niners. Maybe

732
00:42:21,680 --> 00:42:23,840
Speaker 1: got one or two bigger names on that side of

733
00:42:23,880 --> 00:42:26,640
Speaker 1: the ball, but that that does not work to why

734
00:42:26,680 --> 00:42:28,640
Speaker 1: the Niners. I think every forty nine Er fan be

735
00:42:28,680 --> 00:42:30,840
Speaker 1: the first to admit we have no shot in the playoffs,

736
00:42:31,000 --> 00:42:34,839
Speaker 1: none to make a run. Could you win an individual game?

737
00:42:34,960 --> 00:42:36,799
Speaker 1: Could the forty nine Ers beat the Eagles in a

738
00:42:36,840 --> 00:42:40,520
Speaker 1: one off situation? Games are weird. You saw to night

739
00:42:40,719 --> 00:42:42,839
Speaker 1: Seattle's kicking their ass and it was ten to three

740
00:42:43,000 --> 00:42:46,160
Speaker 1: at half, Like, how's this possible? Niners aid three first down?

741
00:42:46,200 --> 00:42:48,759
Speaker 1: That's football, and the forty nine Ers at one point

742
00:42:48,760 --> 00:42:52,360
Speaker 1: in time where a fumbled ball, if Cleveland Ferrell drops

743
00:42:52,520 --> 00:42:55,480
Speaker 1: falls on it, who knows, all of a sudden they

744
00:42:55,480 --> 00:43:01,480
Speaker 1: score tight game, it was ten point swing. Football is

745
00:43:01,520 --> 00:43:05,439
Speaker 1: weird that way, right in an individual game, you could

746
00:43:05,440 --> 00:43:07,520
Speaker 1: be a better team. I think you could pull one

747
00:43:07,560 --> 00:43:10,279
Speaker 1: hundred people that watch tonight and one hundred people would

748
00:43:10,280 --> 00:43:13,440
Speaker 1: say Seattle was the better team tonight. Yet at one

749
00:43:13,440 --> 00:43:16,880
Speaker 1: point time through in the third quarter, it's ten to three,

750
00:43:19,280 --> 00:43:22,040
Speaker 1: and that's the thing about playoff games. I watched a

751
00:43:22,120 --> 00:43:24,759
Speaker 1: lot of I went to a lot of Warriors in

752
00:43:24,800 --> 00:43:28,719
Speaker 1: their heyday playoff games. You can lose random games in

753
00:43:28,800 --> 00:43:31,040
Speaker 1: series all the time. It happens in baseball all the time.

754
00:43:32,200 --> 00:43:35,960
Speaker 1: It does not matter in basketball, it definitely doesn't matter. Like, oh,

755
00:43:36,000 --> 00:43:38,160
Speaker 1: it just got blown out in Game three, Okay, two

756
00:43:38,160 --> 00:43:41,959
Speaker 1: to one. Who cares? In football, you have one bad half,

757
00:43:42,080 --> 00:43:45,960
Speaker 1: you make two bad plays, the playoffs can be over.

758
00:43:47,160 --> 00:43:50,399
Speaker 1: The other team makes one great play, some crazy ass

759
00:43:50,480 --> 00:43:55,400
Speaker 1: kickoff return or some crazy ass mistackle touchdown. All of

760
00:43:55,440 --> 00:43:58,120
Speaker 1: a sudden, It's like I thought we were better than them,

761
00:43:58,120 --> 00:43:59,959
Speaker 1: and we're down twenty to ten and the third quarter.

762
00:44:01,160 --> 00:44:05,759
Speaker 1: That's what's so fun about the playoffs. But man, what

763
00:44:05,840 --> 00:44:10,520
Speaker 1: a night. Credible accomplishment by Seattle truly is, like I said,

764
00:44:11,000 --> 00:44:15,480
Speaker 1: crowding achievement for John Schneider, let's face it. I mean,

765
00:44:15,520 --> 00:44:19,440
Speaker 1: there's Diana's article today. It's like, clearly the Raiders would

766
00:44:19,480 --> 00:44:22,480
Speaker 1: like Pete to just retire. Okay, man, we'll pay you

767
00:44:22,520 --> 00:44:24,960
Speaker 1: the contract. We don't want to quote unquote fire you,

768
00:44:25,000 --> 00:44:28,520
Speaker 1: but just just retire. You're seventy five. You refused away

769
00:44:28,640 --> 00:44:31,000
Speaker 1: the white flag. You were the only guy we could

770
00:44:31,080 --> 00:44:34,360
Speaker 1: hire because there were no other options. You're gonna get fired.

771
00:44:34,440 --> 00:44:36,880
Speaker 1: But if you just announce you're retired, easier to go

772
00:44:36,960 --> 00:44:43,440
Speaker 1: that way. Jee Sneider won that big time because once

773
00:44:43,560 --> 00:44:46,319
Speaker 1: Pete's gone, he's hired Mike McDonald. Two years later, they're

774
00:44:46,360 --> 00:44:50,040
Speaker 1: the number one seed in the NFC, and that's against

775
00:44:50,040 --> 00:44:52,759
Speaker 1: the team with you know, I don't know how much

776
00:44:52,760 --> 00:44:54,560
Speaker 1: the Eagles are spending on their team, but it's a

777
00:44:54,600 --> 00:44:59,640
Speaker 1: shitload of money, you know, the Rams. I mean, we're

778
00:44:59,680 --> 00:45:02,399
Speaker 1: beating them by sixteen points in the fourth quarter. Three

779
00:45:02,400 --> 00:45:08,000
Speaker 1: weeks ago. Seattle came back, beats Carolina, beats the Niners,

780
00:45:08,040 --> 00:45:12,279
Speaker 1: boom home playoff games. That's how fast it's That's how

781
00:45:12,320 --> 00:45:15,640
Speaker 1: fast it shifted. That's the crazy part about Seattle season

782
00:45:16,760 --> 00:45:22,000
Speaker 1: is at that game, when they're down sixteen points, Darnold

783
00:45:22,040 --> 00:45:28,000
Speaker 1: looks like crap, like yeah, man, make the playoffs. Good season,

784
00:45:29,080 --> 00:45:31,560
Speaker 1: and then it flipped she he'd scored that touchdown. They've

785
00:45:31,719 --> 00:45:34,480
Speaker 1: honestly never really looked back since that moment. I know

786
00:45:34,520 --> 00:45:36,719
Speaker 1: it's technically three to three last week in Carolina, but

787
00:45:36,760 --> 00:45:53,319
Speaker 1: Carolina sucks. My main takeaway from that game, and I've

788
00:45:53,360 --> 00:45:56,920
Speaker 1: thought this for a while and I've never ever believed

789
00:45:56,920 --> 00:46:00,880
Speaker 1: this more strongly that if you go eight and and

790
00:46:01,000 --> 00:46:05,760
Speaker 1: win a division one, that shows your division sucks. If

791
00:46:05,800 --> 00:46:08,520
Speaker 1: you go eight to nine and win the division, think

792
00:46:08,600 --> 00:46:11,160
Speaker 1: about what it took for Seattle to win the division.

793
00:46:11,600 --> 00:46:15,080
Speaker 1: They'd win fourteen games. They're gonna have two other They're

794
00:46:15,080 --> 00:46:16,960
Speaker 1: gonna have a thirteen win team and a twelve win

795
00:46:17,040 --> 00:46:21,680
Speaker 1: team in their own division relative to this other division

796
00:46:21,719 --> 00:46:24,560
Speaker 1: with three eight to nine teams. Potentially, if Atlanta wins,

797
00:46:24,960 --> 00:46:29,560
Speaker 1: Atlanta's rattling off some late victories. Obviously the Saints rattled

798
00:46:29,560 --> 00:46:32,200
Speaker 1: off some late victories as well, but that division has

799
00:46:32,239 --> 00:46:35,920
Speaker 1: been terrible. It really is. Even if things went better

800
00:46:36,320 --> 00:46:39,320
Speaker 1: for either Tampa or Atlanta, what are they ten win teams.

801
00:46:39,960 --> 00:46:44,640
Speaker 1: You're clearly talking about the worst division winner in the conference.

802
00:46:45,280 --> 00:46:50,279
Speaker 1: But if you go eight to nine or worse, if

803
00:46:50,560 --> 00:46:52,600
Speaker 1: who knows, you could have a year maybe seven to ten.

804
00:46:52,800 --> 00:46:56,319
Speaker 1: If it goes really shitty, you should not be able

805
00:46:56,320 --> 00:46:58,799
Speaker 1: to host a playoff game. You should give up that right.

806
00:46:59,080 --> 00:47:01,680
Speaker 1: I'm okay with Hey, you win the division, you're automatically

807
00:47:01,680 --> 00:47:06,680
Speaker 1: in the playoffs, but if you go under five hundred

808
00:47:06,680 --> 00:47:09,160
Speaker 1: to win the division, you should then be stacked with

809
00:47:09,200 --> 00:47:11,760
Speaker 1: the playoff teams, which every single time would be seventh.

810
00:47:12,920 --> 00:47:15,239
Speaker 1: That's how I would do it. So it's not like, oh,

811
00:47:15,320 --> 00:47:17,080
Speaker 1: you get to play the four to five, No, you

812
00:47:17,120 --> 00:47:21,239
Speaker 1: go to the seventh seed. I think that would be fair.

813
00:47:22,360 --> 00:47:25,160
Speaker 1: I could live with Okay, they're just they play the

814
00:47:25,200 --> 00:47:28,279
Speaker 1: four or five game, but it goes to whoever they're

815
00:47:28,280 --> 00:47:30,080
Speaker 1: playing against the home game. I'd be cool with that.

816
00:47:30,600 --> 00:47:32,400
Speaker 1: But I honestly think you should be slotted in the

817
00:47:32,400 --> 00:47:35,239
Speaker 1: seventh seed. You could make a whole other argument, like

818
00:47:35,280 --> 00:47:37,319
Speaker 1: if you go under five hundred, should you even make

819
00:47:37,360 --> 00:47:40,080
Speaker 1: the playoffs? We could make that argument if you wanted.

820
00:47:40,239 --> 00:47:44,440
Speaker 1: I wouldn't argue against that person. But under no circumstances,

821
00:47:45,920 --> 00:47:48,120
Speaker 1: should one of those two teams that we witness playing

822
00:47:48,120 --> 00:47:52,120
Speaker 1: today get to host a playoff game next week. That

823
00:47:52,239 --> 00:47:55,480
Speaker 1: is an embarrassment toward the National Football League, It truly is.

824
00:47:57,640 --> 00:47:59,960
Speaker 1: I like Jason light I think he's an excellent GM.

825
00:48:00,040 --> 00:48:02,160
Speaker 1: I know they've had a weird season, they've had some injuries.

826
00:48:03,840 --> 00:48:07,640
Speaker 1: His coach isn't great. Clearly, you know, decent chance if

827
00:48:07,680 --> 00:48:12,000
Speaker 1: Atlanta wins tomorrow that I think Todd Bowles gets fired again.

828
00:48:12,040 --> 00:48:14,680
Speaker 1: I don't know Todd well, but I worked with him.

829
00:48:14,680 --> 00:48:16,680
Speaker 1: Whenever I seen him at the Combine, I've always I've

830
00:48:16,680 --> 00:48:18,480
Speaker 1: always liked him. He's always been really nice to me.

831
00:48:19,480 --> 00:48:21,960
Speaker 1: But he's been atrocious this year. Their whole team has

832
00:48:22,000 --> 00:48:25,480
Speaker 1: been really atrocious this year. And this is not shade

833
00:48:25,560 --> 00:48:30,080
Speaker 1: because of the division, though that division does feel like

834
00:48:30,239 --> 00:48:36,759
Speaker 1: the least interesting division in all of football. That game

835
00:48:36,840 --> 00:48:41,640
Speaker 1: today had preseason vibes. It honestly did. It had vibes

836
00:48:41,880 --> 00:48:44,920
Speaker 1: in the preseason when you're watching like Miami or Philly

837
00:48:44,960 --> 00:48:46,920
Speaker 1: or some of these East Coast teams that you know

838
00:48:46,960 --> 00:48:50,840
Speaker 1: play in these humid cities that starts pouring rain and

839
00:48:50,880 --> 00:48:53,040
Speaker 1: the starters are playing, you know, late in the first

840
00:48:53,080 --> 00:48:54,960
Speaker 1: quarter or the second quarter, like oh this, and you're

841
00:48:55,040 --> 00:48:58,400
Speaker 1: just starved. You're just like a crack addict looking for

842
00:48:58,440 --> 00:49:00,279
Speaker 1: a hit. So you're just sitting on your couch, like

843
00:49:00,320 --> 00:49:04,360
Speaker 1: mid August. You're like, hell, yeah, Baker Mayfield's on the field,

844
00:49:04,520 --> 00:49:08,640
Speaker 1: Mike Evans beat a bell, but it's still a preseason game.

845
00:49:09,320 --> 00:49:11,040
Speaker 1: And then all of a sudden, you look up, you

846
00:49:11,080 --> 00:49:12,759
Speaker 1: go get a snack, and all the backups are in.

847
00:49:12,800 --> 00:49:14,719
Speaker 1: You're like, this is bad, honey, you want to go

848
00:49:14,800 --> 00:49:17,319
Speaker 1: watch a movie. I actually just watched the movie last

849
00:49:17,400 --> 00:49:20,960
Speaker 1: night called A Roof Man, pretty good flick. Channing Tatum.

850
00:49:21,560 --> 00:49:24,959
Speaker 1: He a true story this, I guess. Guy broke into

851
00:49:25,080 --> 00:49:27,600
Speaker 1: a bunch of McDonald's from the roof, got caught, broke

852
00:49:27,640 --> 00:49:30,200
Speaker 1: out of jail, lived at a toy z r Us

853
00:49:31,400 --> 00:49:35,960
Speaker 1: for like six months, started dating a girl. I really

854
00:49:36,080 --> 00:49:42,319
Speaker 1: enjoyed the movie. Channon Tatum kind of underrated actor. That

855
00:49:42,360 --> 00:49:46,000
Speaker 1: game the Day had preseason vibes. It truly did. And

856
00:49:46,040 --> 00:49:48,759
Speaker 1: given that no matter who, I guess, if Carolina won

857
00:49:48,800 --> 00:49:50,799
Speaker 1: the game, they would have won the division. But it

858
00:49:50,840 --> 00:49:52,919
Speaker 1: never crossed my mind Carolina was gonna win that game.

859
00:49:53,360 --> 00:49:57,480
Speaker 1: And if it wasn't for a last drive by Carolina

860
00:49:58,480 --> 00:50:01,360
Speaker 1: that they scored a touchdown, so they game looks closer

861
00:50:01,400 --> 00:50:04,600
Speaker 1: than it actually was. I thought Tampa was clearly the

862
00:50:04,600 --> 00:50:08,160
Speaker 1: better team. I'm not a Bryce young guy. It's pretty

863
00:50:08,160 --> 00:50:12,160
Speaker 1: clear for me, like and I was coming out of college,

864
00:50:12,160 --> 00:50:13,560
Speaker 1: so I'm not acting like I've never liked him. I

865
00:50:14,200 --> 00:50:17,759
Speaker 1: loved him at Alabama. I'd followed his career like in

866
00:50:17,840 --> 00:50:23,200
Speaker 1: high school because a huge recruit. I was rooting for him.

867
00:50:23,239 --> 00:50:25,200
Speaker 1: But at this point time he's not good enough. You'd

868
00:50:25,200 --> 00:50:27,480
Speaker 1: be like, well, his numbers are. I don't know, man,

869
00:50:27,520 --> 00:50:29,880
Speaker 1: I don't see it. I know he made some throws.

870
00:50:30,200 --> 00:50:33,319
Speaker 1: He No one throws an out route interception like Bryce Young.

871
00:50:34,000 --> 00:50:36,520
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's he can't see. I don't

872
00:50:36,520 --> 00:50:39,719
Speaker 1: know if it's timing's always off. But he throws one

873
00:50:39,760 --> 00:50:44,759
Speaker 1: of the easier out route picks. I mean, for any

874
00:50:44,800 --> 00:50:47,839
Speaker 1: guy that consistently starts typically the guy that throws that

875
00:50:47,880 --> 00:50:49,680
Speaker 1: pick all the time is a guy that doesn't start

876
00:50:49,800 --> 00:50:55,160
Speaker 1: very long. I think Bryce Young is just average as

877
00:50:55,160 --> 00:50:57,719
Speaker 1: the day is long, and that feels kind like I

878
00:50:58,160 --> 00:50:59,879
Speaker 1: pick up his fifth year option. I don't even think

879
00:51:00,120 --> 00:51:09,839
Speaker 1: an option. Yeah, I mean obviously canalis not sure how

880
00:51:09,920 --> 00:51:13,920
Speaker 1: dynamic he is. Hard to judge a little with his quarterback.

881
00:51:13,960 --> 00:51:19,480
Speaker 1: But the flea flicker in the rain when a running back,

882
00:51:19,520 --> 00:51:21,800
Speaker 1: if you just think about it, the field's clearly slippery.

883
00:51:22,280 --> 00:51:26,080
Speaker 1: It had been pouring rain in Tampa. A flea flicker

884
00:51:26,120 --> 00:51:30,319
Speaker 1: takes two or three whatever is coached up hard steps

885
00:51:30,400 --> 00:51:35,560
Speaker 1: selling the run. Then you have to stop, pivot flip back.

886
00:51:37,440 --> 00:51:41,000
Speaker 1: As Dowdell went to flip it back, he is parallel

887
00:51:41,080 --> 00:51:43,879
Speaker 1: to the ground. It's almost like a movie scene when

888
00:51:43,880 --> 00:51:46,160
Speaker 1: a guy, you know, I was We watched home alone

889
00:51:46,160 --> 00:51:48,360
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago. They slip on the ice

890
00:51:48,480 --> 00:51:51,399
Speaker 1: and they're parallel to the ground. That's what he looked like, Gus,

891
00:51:51,440 --> 00:51:54,759
Speaker 1: He's been in the ground, and it's just how do

892
00:51:54,800 --> 00:51:57,000
Speaker 1: you call that play? And then I watched his answer

893
00:51:57,040 --> 00:52:00,560
Speaker 1: about why he called that play after the game, and

894
00:52:00,640 --> 00:52:03,680
Speaker 1: he's like, yeah, we like to play. And even Orlowsky

895
00:52:03,840 --> 00:52:06,560
Speaker 1: on the broadcast was like, they never showed a replay

896
00:52:06,600 --> 00:52:09,080
Speaker 1: down the field, and I don't think anyone was open.

897
00:52:11,400 --> 00:52:14,000
Speaker 1: There was not There was like one grout being run.

898
00:52:14,239 --> 00:52:17,160
Speaker 1: There wasn't even a someone to dump it off to.

899
00:52:17,600 --> 00:52:20,480
Speaker 1: Who what kind of play call is that? You know?

900
00:52:20,520 --> 00:52:22,800
Speaker 1: Baker threw a bad pick. It was just an awful,

901
00:52:23,080 --> 00:52:27,719
Speaker 1: awful game. I don't really know what to say. I

902
00:52:27,760 --> 00:52:29,640
Speaker 1: don't want to spend too much time talking about it

903
00:52:29,680 --> 00:52:32,560
Speaker 1: because I do think that Atlanta is gonna win and

904
00:52:32,600 --> 00:52:34,840
Speaker 1: Carolina is going to be in the playoffs, which is

905
00:52:34,840 --> 00:52:39,720
Speaker 1: truly shameful. I mean it truly is. And I believe

906
00:52:39,800 --> 00:52:47,680
Speaker 1: this core of my soul in no functioning society. Should

907
00:52:47,680 --> 00:52:50,279
Speaker 1: the Carolina Panthers at eight to nine, the team that

908
00:52:50,320 --> 00:52:52,520
Speaker 1: we've witnessed, I mean, they got work yet last week

909
00:52:52,560 --> 00:52:55,600
Speaker 1: in the second half Bryce through fifty four yards against

910
00:52:55,800 --> 00:53:01,520
Speaker 1: Seattle today they are down whatever or nine points late

911
00:53:01,560 --> 00:53:05,200
Speaker 1: in the game, and they're gonna host a playoff game

912
00:53:05,239 --> 00:53:07,760
Speaker 1: because Bijon Robinson to Margo's for one hundred and seventy yards.

913
00:53:09,000 --> 00:53:12,719
Speaker 1: What are we doing? Come on, Roger, we gotta be better.

914
00:53:13,120 --> 00:53:16,160
Speaker 1: This can't be tolerated, but it will. They'll host a

915
00:53:16,239 --> 00:53:19,160
Speaker 1: game and hopefully the Rams kick their ass and we

916
00:53:19,200 --> 00:53:22,640
Speaker 1: move on. If you tell me that it's Rams Carolina,

917
00:53:23,680 --> 00:53:26,080
Speaker 1: my guess would be decent chance that's the first playoff game.

918
00:53:26,880 --> 00:53:32,080
Speaker 1: That's Saturday afternoon, Saturday afternoon, and then that would be

919
00:53:32,080 --> 00:53:35,080
Speaker 1: a lucky break for McVeigh because he'd probably get it

920
00:53:35,160 --> 00:53:37,839
Speaker 1: rolling a little bit tomorrow against Arizona, who's just an

921
00:53:37,840 --> 00:53:41,280
Speaker 1: atrocious football team with a million injuries. They're they're terrible.

922
00:53:41,719 --> 00:53:43,960
Speaker 1: I think they've lost by twenty and I was listened

923
00:53:44,000 --> 00:53:45,839
Speaker 1: to some local television show like five to the Last

924
00:53:45,840 --> 00:53:49,160
Speaker 1: seven Games or something that they are bad. And then

925
00:53:49,160 --> 00:53:52,720
Speaker 1: you get Carolina, you might get some momentum. And again,

926
00:53:52,760 --> 00:53:55,799
Speaker 1: like I said, if Seattle draws the Rams as their

927
00:53:55,840 --> 00:53:59,160
Speaker 1: first playoff game since twenty seventeen in Seattle, that's just

928
00:53:59,280 --> 00:54:02,359
Speaker 1: tough draw. It really is. I think if you let

929
00:54:02,440 --> 00:54:07,920
Speaker 1: John Schneider and Mike McDonald pick, they would one pick

930
00:54:08,000 --> 00:54:12,920
Speaker 1: Philly or obviously San Francisco or the Bears over the Rams.

931
00:54:13,400 --> 00:54:16,520
Speaker 1: But that will be a fantastic, you know, week two

932
00:54:16,520 --> 00:54:18,680
Speaker 1: playoff game. But that's the way it shakes out. Other

933
00:54:18,719 --> 00:54:21,640
Speaker 1: than that, we've gone got a little longer, I thought,

934
00:54:21,640 --> 00:54:24,080
Speaker 1: But I was it's a big night. I mean, there

935
00:54:24,160 --> 00:54:26,400
Speaker 1: was a lot on the line. Learned a lot. Seattle's

936
00:54:26,400 --> 00:54:30,960
Speaker 1: a one seed, Nighters are in trouble, and I guess

937
00:54:31,239 --> 00:54:34,400
Speaker 1: we had to. I actually didn't. I turned the game on.

938
00:54:34,520 --> 00:54:36,720
Speaker 1: I was a little late to the game playing golf,

939
00:54:37,000 --> 00:54:39,640
Speaker 1: which was way more fun than watching the morning game.

940
00:54:40,000 --> 00:54:41,400
Speaker 1: And it was seven to nothing, and I was like,

941
00:54:41,400 --> 00:54:44,040
Speaker 1: what this sucks. I don't even want to do this.

942
00:54:44,360 --> 00:54:46,160
Speaker 1: Is there is there a Bowl game on? It's like,

943
00:54:46,200 --> 00:54:47,520
Speaker 1: I guess I kind of have to do this for

944
00:54:47,680 --> 00:54:50,759
Speaker 1: my job kind of. I'm just I was like, this

945
00:54:50,840 --> 00:54:55,160
Speaker 1: is awful. What a what an awful game? At least

946
00:54:55,200 --> 00:54:57,640
Speaker 1: we had the night game, which I know is low scoring,

947
00:54:57,640 --> 00:55:00,799
Speaker 1: but it was fun. Audios, have a great night, and

948
00:55:01,080 --> 00:55:09,600
Speaker 1: UH see you tomorrow. The volume m HM
