Good morning, everybody. Welcome to another episode of HockBlogger Mornings. I'm Brian Nemhauser. You can find me on TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, pretty much everywhere at HockBlogger. And it's Tuesday, which means it is a Hasselback Tuesday. We start the day with our pal Matt Hasselback Seahawks legend ring of honor member top 50

player in franchise history he's done it all Matt how are you doing on this fine tuesday doing

great doing great I'm kind of excited great week big win for the Seahawks big win for the

endsworth tigers we both had great first half so it was awesome we We were 21 nothing at half. And I thought we did pretty well. And then I saw what Sam Darnold and company did Sunday night. And that was that was next level. That was incredible. It was like a video game. It was amazing. Is there a chance that Mr. Kubiak was kind of watching your game plan and borrowed a couple things for Monday night? No, I don't think so. I think it's the other way around. Like when I studied the Seahawks games, I'm like, ooh, that's a good idea. Oh, I like this idea. No, it was a bad matchup for Washington. I mean, there's a lot of things that go into it. But also, just as a player, sometimes you're just in the zone.

Like, you're go into it.

But also just as a player, sometimes you're just in the zone.

Like, you're just feeling it. You know, and I think this is a team that's playing really, really well together. I mean, you even see like the alerts, the check with me systems that Sam Donald gets up there. And they send a guy in motion, he's like, alert, alert, alert. And then like immediately, maybe even almost at the exact same time, you got young players who are like, hey, alert alert, like they see the quarterback checks too. So I just think this is like people say, oh, it's a well-coached team. I think it's a really well-coached team. I think there's seven-on-seven guys in particular with the quarterback checks. Like they anticipate it. wide receivers are adjusting their splits as Darnold is making his check.

It's almost like, yep, we're on the same page. We got it. Like this is, for whatever reason, it's very complicated to the defense. It's very simple to us as an offense. So, and then the degree of difficulty on the consecutive completions thing. Like, Mac Jones was 14 for 14.

And again, like, but it wasn't like, oh, you know, like, these, these were crazy.

Like, these were like just perfect throws.

One guy's kind of sort of open and that's the guy you go, you know, take the ball to.

It was really good.

It was a lot of fun.

It was a lot of fun. It was a lot of fun.

I think going 16 for 16 and averaging 17.6 yards per attempt, that's a different kind of 16 for 16 to your point.

That's kind of crazy.

You know, you talk about how well coached the team is.

I'm curious how much, how much is it possible now

you've been on the coaching side and the players out how much is it possible to really coach

teams to be that all aligned and how much does it require having players that are either smart

or disciplined or you know put the work in.

Like, how much do you allot it to the coach versus the players?
