Here say good morning 0:01:24.760 --> 0:01:27.240 to Peakunk. That's our streaming partner. Download the app you 0:01:27.280 --> 0:01:31.200 get to watch this program and our great radio affiliates 0:01:31.200 --> 0:01:34.160 around the country, our Heart Radio, Fox Sports Radio lineup, 0:01:34.560 --> 0:01:38.800 and nearly four hundred cities around America. The Seahawks came 0:01:38.840 --> 0:01:41.480 into this season under a lot of pressure, and a 0:01:41.480 --> 0:01:43.959 lot of that pressure was applied by Russell Wilson. He 0:01:44.040 --> 0:01:46.440 was unhappy. He spoke that way a couple of days 0:01:46.480 --> 0:01:49.320 after the Super Bowl on this program. I don't think 0:01:49.360 --> 0:01:52.200 that he can be satisfied at all with what he's 0:01:52.200 --> 0:01:54.560 seeing because they're five and nine, they're out of the 0:01:54.560 --> 0:01:58.600 playoff picture, first losing season he's ever had. Last night 0:01:58.680 --> 0:02:02.960 the Rams, they were shorthanded, and Seattle has to be 0:02:03.040 --> 0:02:05.880 really frustrated because you had an opportunity and give the 0:02:06.000 --> 0:02:08.720 Rams credit. They won a game that they needed to win. 0:02:08.960 --> 0:02:11.560 They should win. It was a home game. A couple 0:02:11.560 --> 0:02:15.200 of tough officiating calls win against Seattle as well. The 0:02:15.200 --> 0:02:17.720 truth is there was no postseason run that was going 0:02:17.800 --> 0:02:20.079 to happen. It was too much to expect. Really, you 0:02:20.200 --> 0:02:23.079 go back to when Russ was recovering from that early 0:02:23.160 --> 0:02:26.280 season finger injury. He was trying to keep the Seahawks 0:02:26.280 --> 0:02:29.320 afloat in one of the league's tougher divisions, and now 0:02:29.400 --> 0:02:33.560 come some pretty tough decisions because you got a seventy 0:02:33.639 --> 0:02:38.400 year old coach in Pete Carroll Russell Wilson in his prime, 0:02:38.960 --> 0:02:42.360 still wants to add to that legacy and he's not 0:02:42.360 --> 0:02:45.359 going to be doing that in Seattle. An incredible run together, 0:02:45.440 --> 0:02:49.000 then not many teams have a decade of consistent success 0:02:49.120 --> 0:02:52.400 and a Super Bowl title, two Super Bowl appearances, but 0:02:52.440 --> 0:02:56.200 eventually franchises are forced to change, and it appears that 0:02:56.360 --> 0:03:00.959 changes in the air in Seattle. I have spoken about this, 0:03:01.280 --> 0:03:03.840 It feels like almost in a weekly basis with Russ 0:03:03.880 --> 0:03:06.640 because people want to know. It feels like, you know, 0:03:06.720 --> 0:03:09.880 Russ came here, he wanted to let the football world know. 0:03:10.000 --> 0:03:13.160 He was not happy. He was watching Mahomes and Brady 0:03:13.200 --> 0:03:15.440 in the Super Bowl and wondering would he ever get 0:03:15.440 --> 0:03:19.160 back there. But I do think that you could see 0:03:19.160 --> 0:03:22.440 a scenario where similar to what happened with the Lions 0:03:22.440 --> 0:03:26.120 and Matthew Stafford that maybe Russ says to Seattle, hey, 0:03:26.639 --> 0:03:29.080 can you send me to the Giants. You're gonna get 0:03:29.160 --> 0:03:32.520 draft picks in return. You guys can rebuild. You guys 0:03:32.560 --> 0:03:35.000 can do whatever you want, draft the quarterback you want 0:03:35.000 --> 0:03:38.280 to draft, whatever offense you want to run, if you 0:03:38.320 --> 0:03:40.920 want to keep Pete Carroll as your head coach. Because 0:03:40.960 --> 0:03:44.120 it feels like it's either Russ or Pete Carroll. I 0:03:44.160 --> 0:03:46.760 don't think that they're gonna And they can say all 0:03:46.800 --> 0:03:49.800 the right things and nice things and verbal bouquets, but 0:03:49.960 --> 0:03:53.360 I feel like, you know, relationships come to an end. 0:03:53.760 --> 0:03:57.520 I remember the Lakers in the latter part of Showtime, 0:03:57.920 --> 0:04:01.520 and they were tired of pat Riley. It happens the Bulls, 0:04:01.720 --> 0:04:06.000 they got tired. Phil Jackson, you just okay, Phil, Hey, 0:04:06.040 --> 0:04:08.480 I got another book for you guys to read. Okay, Phil, 0:04:09.600 --> 0:04:12.640 You know it happens, and maybe that's happened in Seattle. 0:04:13.320 --> 0:04:16.120 It was a great run. But that was a game 0:04:16.200 --> 0:04:19.240 that you thought, if Seattle had anything left that it 0:04:19.360 --> 0:04:21.719 was going to be on display. But give credit to 0:04:21.720 --> 0:04:25.479 the Rams, certainly Cooper Cup. Here is Sean McVay on 0:04:25.520 --> 0:04:28.479 his star wide receivers performance last night. I think he 0:04:28.520 --> 0:04:30.720 has an idea of how well he's playing. But he 0:04:30.839 --> 0:04:33.600 is truly one of the most humble special players I've 0:04:33.640 --> 0:04:36.240 ever been around, and he doesn't need all the accolades. 0:04:36.320 --> 0:04:37.760 I mean, I think it's great he gets his first 0:04:37.760 --> 0:04:39.719 Pro Bowl recognition. I don't know how he's not going 0:04:39.800 --> 0:04:41.280 to be a first team All Pro player. I think 0:04:41.279 --> 0:04:43.400 he's a legitimate candidate for a lot of awards. But 0:04:43.520 --> 0:04:45.719 he is about our team. You know, He's interested in 0:04:45.800 --> 0:04:48.520 leading the right way, making the plays that you know 0:04:48.560 --> 0:04:50.760 that are instrumental and vital to the outcomes of really 0:04:50.800 --> 0:04:55.480 our team success. Nine catches, he has one hundred twenty 0:04:55.480 --> 0:04:58.880 two for the season. He's seventeen away from the NFL record. 0:04:59.360 --> 0:05:03.080 Two more touchdowns, both came in the second half. Wide 0:05:03.080 --> 0:05:06.720 receivers normally don't rank when it comes to MVPs. You 0:05:06.839 --> 0:05:08.960 you can look at Randy Moss with what he did, 0:05:09.640 --> 0:05:12.440 Tarall Owens with what he did. But for the most part, 0:05:12.480 --> 0:05:14.560 I mean, even Michael Thomas with the Saints, I don't 0:05:14.560 --> 0:05:17.440 know where he finished in the MVP race that year. McLevin, 0:05:17.440 --> 0:05:20.880 maybe you could check that. But Cooper Cup has been 0:05:20.920 --> 0:05:25.039 as valuable to his team as just about anybody has. 0:05:26.000 --> 0:05:28.520 And I know it sounds strange to say that because 0:05:28.560 --> 0:05:31.240 we look at quarterbacks and yes, they're more important because 0:05:31.279 --> 0:05:34.240 they're handling the football and every play. But what Cooper 0:05:34.279 --> 0:05:37.400 Cup does when he gets the football, he's as valuable 0:05:37.400 --> 0:05:41.159 as anybody. Is he a top five MVP candidate. I 0:05:41.160 --> 0:05:43.320 would say, with what the Rams are doing, you get 0:05:43.320 --> 0:05:46.680 a new quarterback in Stafford, and yes, you do have 0:05:46.720 --> 0:05:50.080 a couple of really impactful defensive players. You lose Robert 0:05:50.120 --> 0:05:54.280 woods Acres, you lose your starting running back, and he 0:05:55.160 --> 0:05:57.839 has shown up just about every single week and he's 0:05:57.880 --> 0:06:01.040 been healthy. If Jerry Rice does win the MVP, then 0:06:01.120 --> 0:06:04.159 no receiver is going to win the MVP. Joe Montana 0:06:04.200 --> 0:06:07.520 would get the MVP, not Jerry Rice. But Cooper Cup 0:06:07.520 --> 0:06:12.479 has made Matthew Stafford better. Stafford makes some throws that 0:06:12.600 --> 0:06:16.920 Jared Goff wouldn't make, but Cooper Cup has been as 0:06:17.000 --> 0:06:20.320 valuable to his team. And it's tricky because there's a 0:06:20.320 --> 0:06:22.719 lot of semantics that go that goes on when it 0:06:22.760 --> 0:06:27.640 comes to describing Cooper Cup. Okay, he's not he doesn't 0:06:27.720 --> 0:06:34.000 look like your prototypical great receiver. Why because he's white. 0:06:35.520 --> 0:06:37.920 I don't know how some of these, you know, writers 0:06:38.000 --> 0:06:40.360 or analysts would have written what they would have written 0:06:40.360 --> 0:06:45.800 about Steve Largent because Steve Largent was unbelievable. He was 0:06:45.920 --> 0:06:50.240 unguardable and you watched him and you, I don't know 0:06:50.240 --> 0:06:54.600 how he's doing it, but he's doing it. I think 0:06:54.640 --> 0:06:56.600 we look at Cooper Cup and you think, oh, that's 0:06:56.640 --> 0:06:59.440 a cute story. He's kind of like Julian Edelman, right, 0:06:59.760 --> 0:07:03.640 he six two two ten. He didn't go to a 0:07:03.680 --> 0:07:08.200 big college, Eastern Washington, but there's something about him that 0:07:08.400 --> 0:07:11.480 he is in the in the big games, big moments. 0:07:12.240 --> 0:07:15.040 You know, he plays really really well and these are 0:07:15.080 --> 0:07:18.560 impressive numbers that he has. But I think people are 0:07:18.640 --> 0:07:20.840 careful or trying to be careful and how do they 0:07:20.920 --> 0:07:25.720 describe him because he's the most productive wide receiver this year. 0:07:25.800 --> 0:07:28.600 But then you'll get some analyst he's not the best receiver, 0:07:29.080 --> 0:07:34.360 or I wouldn't take him as the number one wide receiver. Okay, yeah, 0:07:34.400 --> 0:07:38.840 I'd probably take Davante Adams, but Cooper Cup. If you 0:07:38.920 --> 0:07:43.040 said my consolation prize is Cooper Cup, I'm okay with that. Yeah. McLevin, 0:07:43.160 --> 0:07:45.600 all right. Michael Thomas one Offensive Player of the Year 0:07:45.680 --> 0:07:49.280 in twenty nineteen. But the MVP. Remember they're only fifty votes. 0:07:49.400 --> 0:07:52.800 Lamar got all fifty votes. That's why Russell Wilson has 0:07:52.800 --> 0:07:55.960 never gotten to vote for MVP. Beca's his very few voters. Yes, Paulie, 0:07:56.280 --> 0:07:58.040 it is fun. You can find the word. I looked 0:07:58.080 --> 0:08:02.280 up some Cooper Cup definitions and scriptions. Scrappy tough and 0:08:02.440 --> 0:08:05.200 Davante Adams is also six two two ten. They're both 0:08:05.240 --> 0:08:06.720 lists at the same height and weight, but those are 0:08:06.800 --> 0:08:11.000 not the words used. I know we talk about your measurables. 0:08:11.080 --> 0:08:14.800 That that's so important. Man, he runs four three forty. Okay, 0:08:14.880 --> 0:08:18.080 there are a lot of guys, you know. DK Metcalfe 0:08:18.280 --> 0:08:21.480 is probably ten times the athlete that Cooper Cup is. 0:08:21.640 --> 0:08:29.080 Who do you want you're taking Cooper Cup. Chris Carter 0:08:29.640 --> 0:08:33.079 is a Hall of Famer. He didn't run by anybody, 0:08:33.120 --> 0:08:36.120 but he knew how to play football. And we get 0:08:36.160 --> 0:08:38.880 into these dangerous territories where you go when that guy's 0:08:38.880 --> 0:08:43.040 not very fast. Jerry Rice, he wasn't that fast. You 0:08:43.160 --> 0:08:47.000 just Larry Fitzgerald wasn't that fast, not at all. No 0:08:47.040 --> 0:08:51.200 one ever said, man, Larry can run, never said that. 0:08:51.280 --> 0:08:55.199 No one said that about Chris Carter. John Ross was 0:08:55.280 --> 0:08:57.760 drafted by the Bengals. I think that was a top 0:08:57.800 --> 0:09:01.640 five pick out of Washington. He could run really good't cadge. 0:09:03.160 --> 0:09:06.200 You see this with a lot of receivers. It's are 0:09:06.240 --> 0:09:09.160 you willing to make the tough catch? Are you willing 0:09:09.200 --> 0:09:13.040 to go over the middle? Cooper Cup and he's been 0:09:13.080 --> 0:09:18.560 injury prone, but this season, it's a magical season. And 0:09:18.640 --> 0:09:21.559 I know it's past happy and these numbers are inflated, 0:09:22.120 --> 0:09:25.320 but what he's done, how he's done it, and in 0:09:25.400 --> 0:09:28.160 this year with all this pressure on the Rams, they're 0:09:28.200 --> 0:09:31.360 all in. But Cooper Cup has been their go to 0:09:31.600 --> 0:09:34.439 guy and you know he's the go to guy. And 0:09:35.000 --> 0:09:38.040 losing Robert Woods was a big loss for this offense. 0:09:39.200 --> 0:09:42.520 And you would think, Okay, they got Odell Beckham and 0:09:42.600 --> 0:09:45.679 O b J is a complimentary player to Cooper Cup. 0:09:46.000 --> 0:09:49.600 Cooper Cup is the go to guy. But I don't 0:09:49.640 --> 0:09:52.880 know if he's going to get the recognition he probably 0:09:52.920 --> 0:09:57.600 deserves because we do side with guys who get sacks 0:09:57.800 --> 0:10:00.840 and guys who throw touchdowns. Yeah, Mick, clemmon, one fast guy. 0:10:00.920 --> 0:10:03.880 I'm curious if you'd take Tyreek Hill over Cooper Cup 0:10:04.040 --> 0:10:10.840 and Davante Adams. Oh I don't know if he's a 0:10:10.880 --> 0:10:15.760 great receiver. I just think he's an unbelievable big play guy. 0:10:17.320 --> 0:10:25.360 You can't cover him. Um, I would take Davante Adams 0:10:25.360 --> 0:10:31.000 over all of them, but I would probably lean towards type. 0:10:31.120 --> 0:10:34.440 I don't like Tyreek Hill, you know, but I do 0:10:34.559 --> 0:10:37.520 like what he does on the football field, So I'd 0:10:37.559 --> 0:10:40.880 probably look at Tyreek Hill and then i'd have Cooper Cup. 0:10:41.200 --> 0:10:44.239 But you know, there's there's a lot of great receivers, 0:10:44.920 --> 0:10:48.520 you know, justin Jefferson Digs, you know, Jamar There's a 0:10:48.559 --> 0:10:51.480 lot of these guys. This is a magical season for 0:10:51.600 --> 0:10:55.160 a team that desperately needs him to be great every 0:10:55.200 --> 0:11:00.440 single game, and he has been. And he could end 0:11:00.480 --> 0:11:04.160 up with No. One hundred and fifty catches or so 0:11:04.400 --> 0:11:06.480 depending on how much they're going to go to him 0:11:06.520 --> 0:11:09.199 here in the latter part of the season. Yeah. See. 0:11:09.360 --> 0:11:11.600 Is there a difference though, between the best wide receiver 0:11:11.920 --> 0:11:15.440 and the wide receiver having the best season? Well, I 0:11:15.480 --> 0:11:19.120 think that's how they're positioning it. And I do think 0:11:19.160 --> 0:11:21.720 that's fair to say he is having the best year. 0:11:21.920 --> 0:11:27.120 But is he the best receiver He's I don't know. 0:11:27.000 --> 0:11:28.800 I know, I don't look at him as the best receiver. 0:11:28.920 --> 0:11:32.600 But he is having the best year. But I think 0:11:32.600 --> 0:11:35.520 he's more valuable to his team than Davante Adams is 0:11:36.200 --> 0:11:39.320 because I don't think that offense is it's that offense 0:11:39.400 --> 0:11:43.800 isn't as good as it was with Jared Golf and 0:11:43.880 --> 0:11:45.800 it feels like they're one dimensional. You're throwing it to 0:11:45.880 --> 0:11:49.240 Cooper Cup. Green Bay's got two really good running packs. 0:11:50.280 --> 0:11:54.280 They and they have a complimentary group of wide receivers there. 0:11:54.559 --> 0:11:57.400 And I hate to denigrate somebody, but you know, just 0:11:58.559 --> 0:12:01.439 you know, liting hares Hears, we'd like to say, you know, 0:12:01.640 --> 0:12:03.960 MC club, you know, the quarterback has a lot to 0:12:04.000 --> 0:12:05.920 do with it. DK Metcalf. Not that he's as good 0:12:05.920 --> 0:12:08.040 as Cooper Cup, but part of the reason his season 0:12:08.080 --> 0:12:10.559 has falled, apart as his Russell was hurt. Yeah, but 0:12:10.640 --> 0:12:13.160 I don't think he's lived up to the you know, 0:12:13.200 --> 0:12:18.400 the post Combine hype, like he makes great plays. We 0:12:18.520 --> 0:12:22.160 get caught up in athleticism and there are guys who 0:12:22.200 --> 0:12:24.000 play in all sports where you go, I don't know 0:12:24.120 --> 0:12:27.120 he does it, and Cooper Cup is one of those players. 0:12:28.200 --> 0:12:30.640 Is he going to be off the charts athleticism wise, No, 0:12:31.480 --> 0:12:35.640 but football athletics it's like Jerry Rice had football speed. 0:12:36.240 --> 0:12:39.959 I don't remember Jerry getting caught, but oh my god, 0:12:39.960 --> 0:12:41.600 he ran a four to six forty. If he came 0:12:41.600 --> 0:12:43.960 out now and ran a four six forty, he not 0:12:44.000 --> 0:12:48.480 a first round draft pick. Yeah. Pulling the projections for 0:12:48.520 --> 0:12:51.199 they're on pace four dk metcalf is on pace for 0:12:51.320 --> 0:12:54.360 seventy catches. Cooper cups on pace for one hundred and forty. 0:12:54.440 --> 0:12:58.120 Here's Matthew Stafford on Cooper cup. He's a great player. 0:12:58.200 --> 0:13:01.560 He's having a fantastic season and he's such a huge 0:13:01.559 --> 0:13:03.040 part of what we do as a team. You know, 0:13:03.120 --> 0:13:05.120 not only on offense, he's back there catching a bunch 0:13:05.120 --> 0:13:07.280 of punts for us on special teams, does a great 0:13:07.320 --> 0:13:09.199 job leading that group. Happy that I get the chance 0:13:09.240 --> 0:13:11.160 to play with the guy like that. I know a 0:13:11.200 --> 0:13:12.679 lot of guys on our team feel the same way. 0:13:12.800 --> 0:13:14.599 We all take a hand in his success, and you know, 0:13:14.640 --> 0:13:16.280 we're just proud of him, proud of him watching him 0:13:16.320 --> 0:13:19.480 doing a thing. Rams handled the Seahawks. The Eagles are 0:13:19.520 --> 0:13:22.840 still alive. They beat Washington and they can run the football. 0:13:23.800 --> 0:13:26.360 You have a couple of bowl games. You have one 0:13:26.400 --> 0:13:30.680 bowl game Missoo at Army. The Armed Forces bull all right, 0:13:30.920 --> 0:13:34.079 I'm good with that. Army's almost always in that Bowl game. Yeah, 0:13:34.200 --> 0:13:37.920 it's weird. There's always a military school in that Armed 0:13:37.920 --> 0:13:40.880 Forces ghost guard never makes it, yes, Todd, and they're 0:13:40.880 --> 0:13:47.199 selling it as no monking around. Okay, I gave it 0:13:47.280 --> 0:13:50.360 a shot. The head coach, Jeff Mounkin, Army had a 0:13:50.400 --> 0:13:53.160 deep cut even for me, an Army Serie Army no 0:13:53.360 --> 0:13:58.680 monking around. Yeah. If we were in album rock, that 0:13:58.720 --> 0:14:00.679 would be a deep cut. That would be like the 0:14:01.200 --> 0:14:04.600 fifth best song. Some things are better left unset. Yeah, 0:14:04.600 --> 0:14:07.719 that's like that what I just said. Now, do you 0:14:07.760 --> 0:14:10.960 shut down or think I'm gonna rally? You're gonna round 0:14:10.960 --> 0:14:12.320 and may have a limerick off of one of the 0:14:12.320 --> 0:14:15.280 games last night, will rally? Okay? Yes, be careful, damn 0:14:15.320 --> 0:14:17.520 because we are a day and a half before Chris's 0:14:17.559 --> 0:14:19.920 break and Fritzie has six guests lined up in the 0:14:19.920 --> 0:14:24.040 next two days, one that he's been teasing for a while. 0:14:24.080 --> 0:14:29.200 Oh my god, but I'm every time I walk by 0:14:29.280 --> 0:14:32.160 his desk during a commercial break. Hey, you know big 0:14:32.200 --> 0:14:34.840 guest Thursday eleven, twenty Eastern actually stuck my foot out. 0:14:34.840 --> 0:14:38.480 It almost triped, And I said, how about I wait, 0:14:39.520 --> 0:14:42.240 you know, and like we usually do at least I 0:14:42.280 --> 0:14:44.480 usually there it's been oversold and then you know it could. 0:14:44.920 --> 0:14:47.840 I'm plint. I always tell you you book them. I 0:14:47.880 --> 0:14:50.480 have to make managic you do. Yeah, the argument can 0:14:50.520 --> 0:14:52.640 be made that it's much more important. Yes, it is 0:14:52.640 --> 0:14:54.640 to give you process than just lining up the guests. 0:14:54.680 --> 0:14:56.200 That can definitely be made. There are a lot of 0:14:56.200 --> 0:14:59.640 people who get food delivered. It's who's cooking the food. 0:14:59.760 --> 0:15:01.680 Very well said, Thank you Tod.

We will recap 0:15:23.320 --> 0:15:27.520 last night with Chris Simms Pro Football Talk and feels 0:15:27.520 --> 0:15:30.280 like Aaron Rodgers is your MVP right now. And then 0:15:30.320 --> 0:15:32.760 you look in the Buccaneers with all those injuries, Will 0:15:32.760 --> 0:15:36.120 they win those last three games? Probably should? But is 0:15:36.120 --> 0:15:39.280 that going to be enough? It might be Aaron Rodgers 0:15:39.400 --> 0:15:42.240 sneaking in to win the MVP. We'll take a break, 0:15:42.440 --> 0:15:45.680 we'll talk with Chris Simms. We'll recap what Lebron had 0:15:45.720 --> 0:15:49.200 to say after yet another loss last night. And oh 0:15:49.240 --> 0:15:54.280 my god, he walked in with a cigar. People remember 0:15:54.360 --> 0:15:58.080 Michael Jordan used to do this before playoffs games. Maybe 0:15:58.120 --> 0:16:01.640 they don't take a break back after this Dan Patrick show. 0:16:03.880 --> 0:16:08.600 You get finished lifting weights, golfing, running around even before 0:16:08.640 --> 0:16:11.120 you do it, you know you can be proactive and 0:16:11.120 --> 0:16:13.440 you can be preemptive where you go.

Washington Football Team goes to downloads to 0:17:22.640 --> 0:17:25.320 take on dak Prescott and the Cowboys NFC E Showdown 0:17:25.400 --> 0:17:30.520 Sunday seven Eastern NBC and Peacock. We're looking at forty 0:17:30.600 --> 0:17:32.800 yard dash times for some of the great receivers of 0:17:32.840 --> 0:17:35.800 all time. Larry Fitzgerald was at four to sixty three, 0:17:36.080 --> 0:17:39.760 Jerry rice A four seven one, Chris Carter of four 0:17:40.040 --> 0:17:45.359 sixty three, an Quon Bolden four point seven, and Chad 0:17:45.440 --> 0:17:49.960 Johnson four point five seven. Who else is in here? 0:17:50.000 --> 0:17:53.400 Hines war to four five, Brandon Marshall four five days, 0:17:53.440 --> 0:17:56.639 Brian of four to five. So we get caught up 0:17:56.640 --> 0:17:59.480 in those measurables. Man, they could be dangerous because you 0:17:59.480 --> 0:18:03.399 can talk yourself into some player. And I mentioned John Ross. 0:18:03.560 --> 0:18:05.560 I mean John Ross, one of the fastest players who's 0:18:05.560 --> 0:18:09.760 ever played in the NFL. Didn't mean anything, had great speed, 0:18:09.920 --> 0:18:11.880 it was just, man, that guy's wide open. That guy 0:18:11.880 --> 0:18:15.480 who can't catch, he's wide open. Chris Simms, Pro Football 0:18:15.520 --> 0:18:19.800 Talk Live co host, NBC Sports, NFL analyst. Let's start 0:18:19.800 --> 0:18:23.840 where we left off with Cooper Cup value wise, not 0:18:24.000 --> 0:18:28.480 talking about you know, Davante Adams talent or DeAndre hop 0:18:28.520 --> 0:18:30.919 you know, any of that, just value to his team. 0:18:31.680 --> 0:18:35.000 Where does Cooper Cup rank this year in your opinion? Well, 0:18:35.359 --> 0:18:38.359 it's up there. First off, like the talent things real, 0:18:38.520 --> 0:18:41.480 Like people gotta stopt short changing the guy. You know 0:18:41.560 --> 0:18:44.440 what about the talent's not real? How many how many 0:18:44.520 --> 0:18:46.720 fifty yard catches do we have to see him run 0:18:46.720 --> 0:18:48.919 by everybody where we go? You know what, he is fast? 0:18:49.400 --> 0:18:50.920 I mean, I know he's white and he ran a 0:18:50.960 --> 0:18:52.879 four or six of the combine, but he's fast, like 0:18:53.000 --> 0:18:55.720 I mean, you know, but he legitimately is. And you 0:18:55.800 --> 0:18:57.560 made a great point there with some of the names 0:18:57.560 --> 0:18:59.960 you talked about. You know, again, not everybody is great. 0:19:00.520 --> 0:19:03.120 Was taught the right way to run the forty that's 0:19:03.200 --> 0:19:05.560 more times than not. What happens to those guys now 0:19:05.640 --> 0:19:08.280 value to the team? Dan? You know, as far as 0:19:08.320 --> 0:19:12.479 non quarterbacks are concerned, Yeah, it's up there with you know, 0:19:12.640 --> 0:19:18.000 I think a Davante Adams, Deebo Samuel Jonathan Taylor. I 0:19:18.040 --> 0:19:19.960 think you put it in that list right there, I'd 0:19:20.000 --> 0:19:22.560 go those are probably the three most non you know, 0:19:22.640 --> 0:19:26.120 important quarterbacks in football really, and of course come from 0:19:26.119 --> 0:19:28.239 that you know, Shanahan coaching tree, where they know how 0:19:28.280 --> 0:19:30.520 to feature a guy, but he can do everything, you know. 0:19:30.560 --> 0:19:32.280 I don't know, have you ever met Cooper Cup or 0:19:32.280 --> 0:19:35.639 seen him in person? Dan, No, he's bigger than you think, 0:19:35.800 --> 0:19:39.160 you know, he really is. He's six one six two ish, 0:19:39.240 --> 0:19:41.760 you know. And of course, yes, the quickness is real, 0:19:41.880 --> 0:19:45.080 the the smarts and evaluating coverage and all that are 0:19:45.119 --> 0:19:48.560 really good. But the talent's real too, it is, and 0:19:48.560 --> 0:19:50.560 and they know how to you know, get it all 0:19:50.600 --> 0:19:52.720 out of him, that's for sure. But I want quickness 0:19:52.760 --> 0:19:56.480 over speed. Yeah, I hear you. At every position, like 0:19:56.640 --> 0:19:58.960 I want my running back to be quick to get 0:19:59.000 --> 0:20:00.760 to the whole. I want my hineman to be able 0:20:00.840 --> 0:20:03.480 to be quick to get out in space or my 0:20:03.520 --> 0:20:07.280 wide receivers. I love quickness. Speed can take a while. 0:20:07.680 --> 0:20:09.800 And what do you do with that speed? Quickness? I 0:20:09.880 --> 0:20:13.320 can you're talking about, Yeah, you're talking about like acceleration, right, 0:20:13.400 --> 0:20:16.040 like you want you want more acceleration too out of 0:20:16.040 --> 0:20:20.359 that quickness importance. Certainly, accelerations probably the most important thing 0:20:20.400 --> 0:20:22.480 you can talk about at times. Yes, there's no doubt 0:20:22.520 --> 0:20:25.399 about that. Hey, you can get also though, like a 0:20:25.480 --> 0:20:27.960 guy like where I know I miss evaluated coming out 0:20:28.000 --> 0:20:29.520 in the draft, And I always kind of call this 0:20:29.600 --> 0:20:31.960 like the Peter Wark syndrome a little bit like the 0:20:32.040 --> 0:20:36.240 Clyde Edwards Hilaire. Right, he's very quick, you know, but 0:20:36.520 --> 0:20:39.320 there is a speed element that misses to where hey 0:20:39.400 --> 0:20:41.080 makes a guy miss. He makes a guy miss. But 0:20:41.160 --> 0:20:43.240 the first guy he made miss already caught him from 0:20:43.240 --> 0:20:46.320 behind to tackle him because he's not fast enough. But yeah, 0:20:46.320 --> 0:20:48.120 there has to be a certain blend. And I agree 0:20:48.160 --> 0:20:50.720 with you more times than not. You know that acceleration 0:20:50.800 --> 0:20:54.600 quickness factor is probably more important than anything you say 0:20:54.600 --> 0:20:58.440 goodbye to the Seattle Seahawks playoff hopes here, as if 0:20:58.480 --> 0:21:01.320 they had any real hopes there. But are we also 0:21:01.600 --> 0:21:05.960 saying goodbye to the partnership of Pete Carroll and Russell Wilson. 0:21:07.160 --> 0:21:09.919 It seems that. And again I have no inside info 0:21:10.080 --> 0:21:12.480 here or anything like that. I'm not trying to break news. 0:21:12.520 --> 0:21:14.720 But you know, again, I think you just you look 0:21:14.760 --> 0:21:17.359 at the you know, read between the lines, whatever the 0:21:17.480 --> 0:21:20.600 writing on the wall. It seems that way when you 0:21:20.640 --> 0:21:23.320 couple that together what Russell said to you last year 0:21:23.359 --> 0:21:26.040 after the Super Bowl in the off season. I know 0:21:26.160 --> 0:21:29.240 people close to the situation who also believe that's very 0:21:29.280 --> 0:21:31.760 much on his radar. How could he how could he 0:21:31.800 --> 0:21:34.720 be content with what's going on there right now? That's 0:21:34.760 --> 0:21:37.160 all I can say. I mean, either he gets out 0:21:37.160 --> 0:21:40.159 of there, or he stays and maybe Pete Carroll is 0:21:40.200 --> 0:21:43.160 out of there, or maybe Pete finally makes an adjustment 0:21:43.200 --> 0:21:46.000 and says, Okay, hey, I'll get an offense and run 0:21:46.040 --> 0:21:49.280 an offense that you really want to run. But you know, again, 0:21:49.320 --> 0:21:51.760 he's not playing his best football. I know that. But 0:21:51.840 --> 0:21:53.840 how many plays did we watch last night where I 0:21:54.080 --> 0:21:56.320 think I've had fun with you before? You know, Yeah, 0:21:56.400 --> 0:21:58.639 you go straight, you go straight, and you go straight. 0:21:58.680 --> 0:22:02.160 Down the middle. There's there's lack of creativity, there's lack 0:22:02.200 --> 0:22:05.080 of easy ways to get the ball into their playmaker's hands. 0:22:05.359 --> 0:22:07.760
