Good morning, everybody. Welcome to another episode of Hock Blogger Mornings. I am Brian

M. Howser. You can find me all over the place, TikTok, Instagram, YouTube at HockBlogger.

And today, you find me on this Blue Friday with Dave uh date bowling and mike sando apologies i was

getting echoes and i just figured out why that is not solved uh as we talk about a just fantastic

football game between the los angeles rams and the seattle Seahawks both at seven and two.

And, man, there's no other two people I'd rather talk about it with than are guys here.

Dave, man, how are you doing on this fine Friday?

Doing great and really looking forward to this game.

I just, this is why you love football.

I mean, especially if you follow a team, you cover a team.

It's so much fun when you can capture the sense that they are on the rise.

Every game is a little bit of a journey of discovery.

Who's going to be the guy this week?

I wouldn't have thought it was going to be

Tyrese Knight and DeMarcus Lawrence and and then, but then you know you're going to get

JSN and you're going to get somebody playing, doing something fantastic. And I, I think this is,

maybe this is an obvious point, but I think this is the biggest

game in Mike McDonald's career. And I think this, you know, we saw him last year as the

defensive whiz kid and he was very convincing. This year, it feels to me that he's now more of a full-service head coach,

a motivator, a leader, an administrator, and all that.

And if he can go down there and spank these guys,

maybe that puts him up to the next step in his progress.
