Sam Darnold, OC Klint Kubiak proving to be ‘perfect’ pairing for Seahawks | PSNFF | NFL on NBC

>> SO YOU HAVE THAT DEFENSE. WHAT WE JUST SAW FROM THE OFFENSE SAM DARNOLD WE TALKED ABOUT THIS IN THE PREGAME TOO. HE WON 14 GAMES LAST YEAR FOR MINNESOTA. THE LAST COUPLE DIDN’T GO SO GOOD. THEY SAID YOU KNOW GO AHEAD DO YOUR THING. SO HE SIGNS A CONTRACT. HE’S THE 18th HIGHEST PAID QUARTERBACK IN THE LEAGUE RIGHT NOW. >> I’LL TAKE THAT. >> ABSOLUTELY. WHAT A GREAT DEAL FOR THEM. ARE YOU NOW STARTING TO BELIEVE IN SAM DARNOLD. WHAT’S YOUR TAKE ON SAM DARNOLD IN PARTICULAR? >> SAM I LIKE SAM I LIKE HIM A LOT. AND I WAS DISCOURAGED WITH HIS LAST YEAR’S PLAYOFF PERFORMANCE. BUT I’M REALLY ENCOURAGED WITH WHAT HE’S DOING NOW. I THINK HE’S HE’S TURNED HIMSELF INTO A HECK OF A LEADER. I THINK THOSE GUYS ON THE OFFENSE, THEY ABSOLUTELY LOVE HIM. JAXON SMITH-NJIGBA HE COULDN’T TALK ENOUGH ABOUT SAM DARNOLD AND WHAT. SO I LIKE SAM DARNOLD COACHING EVERYTHING THAT HE’S BROUGHT. >> AND HE’S IN A GOOD SPOT. AND HE WAS WITH KLINT KUBIAK IN SAN FRANCISCO. SO THEY KNOW EACH OTHER CLINT KNOWS WHAT HE DOES WELL. AND IT’S BEEN A PERFECT MARRIAGE. >> GARY KUBIAK MIKE SHANAHAN WHAT A COUPLE OF SUPER BOWLS THEY HAVE TOGETHER IN DENVER. AND SO THE INFLUENCE CONTINUES TO PASS TO THE NEXT GENERATION. DO YOU SEE THAT IN COACHING A GOOD BIT. >> OH, ABSOLUTELY. AND YOU AS A HEAD COACH, YOU ARE NOT NECESSARILY GOING TO GET OFFSPRING OF COACHES, BUT YOU WANT THAT TREE. YOU WANT THE PEOPLE THAT HAVE BEEN IN THE BILL BELICHICK SYSTEM. YOU WANT PEOPLE THAT HAVE BEEN IN THE MIKE SHANAHAN SYSTEM. AND THAT’S WHAT MIKE MCDONNELL WENT AFTER. HE KNEW WHAT HE WANTED ON OFFENSE. I KNOW THAT’S WHAT. >> THEY KNOW. ONE THING, GARY KUBIAK IS A HECK OF A COACH, AND I USED TO GO AGAINST HIM WHEN I PLAYED FOR THE CHARGERS IN SAN DIEGO, AND HE WAS IN DENVER, AND YOU COULD JUST SEE SOME OF THE SAME THINGS THAT HIS DAD DOING THAT HE’S DOING, IMPLEMENTING. >> SUPER BOWL AS A HEAD COACH, MULTIPLE SUPER BOWLS AS AN ASSISTANT COACH, CONTRIBUTING TO THE SUCCESS OF SO MANY TEAMS THROUGH THE YEARS. GOSH DANG. I MEAN, THE QUESTION THAT THEY ASK AT THE END OF THE BROADCAST WAS, IS THIS A SUPER BOWL CONTENDING TEAM? LIKE, IS SEATTLE A TEAM THAT CAN GO COMPETE FOR SUPER BOWLS? THE NFC WEST MIGHT BE THE BEST DIVISION IN FOOTBALL. CAN THEY COME OUT OF IT? >> THEY CAN. WHEN YOU CAN PLAY DEFENSE AND GET AFTER PEOPLE, YOU CAN RUN THE FOOTBALL AND YOU’VE GOT A QUARTERBACK THAT COMBINATION SMITH-NJIGBA AND DARNOLD, THEY’RE THEY’RE GOING TO BE TOUGH. >> ARROYO THE TIGHT END TOO. >> YEAH. >> OH YEAH. >> BUT WHEN YOU CAN RUN THE BALL AND WHEN YOU GOT A GUY THAT CAN BEAT ONE ON ONE

  1. Lamar has played like garbage in the playoffs with more of a stacked team and 1 of the highest paid and they give sam darnold a hard time with none of that and his first time in the playoffs u make it make sense.

  3. Before the game Rodney said Seahawks don't have a legitimate #2 receiver. Turns out we have three in Kupp, Horton, and Arroyo. Maybe NBC doesn't have a legitimate #2 pundit.
