2:09
Speaker 3: I got outside a little bit with the kids, and yeah,
2:13
Speaker 3: I watched a lot of football. I watched a lot
2:15
Speaker 3: of time, too much football.
2:18
Speaker 2: I was just like, I'm done with this, and then
2:22
Speaker 2: Lions Eagles came on. I'm like, this is pretty intriguing.
2:26
Speaker 2: I guess my ass will continue to turn to mush.
2:29
Speaker 2: That's fine. Yeah, like a couple more hours. Then I
2:31
Speaker 2: get done with it, take a shower, and I go
2:33
Speaker 2: hang out in the living room and like fall asleep immediately. Yeah,
2:36
Speaker 2: for sure, what a day. What a day?
2:39
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it's my wife doesn't ask anymore about
2:44
Speaker 3: what games I have to watch. She just assumes if
2:46
Speaker 3: I'm watching it, then I need to watch it. My kids,
2:49
Speaker 3: on the other hand, Yeah, my kids on the other hand, are.
2:52
Speaker 2: Like, Dad, do you have to watch this one too? Yep, yep,
2:57
Speaker 2: I do. This one is a must watch.
3:00
Speaker 3: But then yeah, got down to the Detroit game and
3:02
Speaker 3: it was like, don't have to, but I'm gonna. Ah,
3:07
Speaker 3: I'm sorry. Yeah, they wanted to watch Monday Night Raw.
3:10
Speaker 3: Oh from last Monday.
3:12
Speaker 2: I was it was Sunday Nay. Look, okay, hey it's
3:15
Speaker 2: Dan Campbell. It is Monday Night Raw. Kinda yeah, that's right,
3:19
Speaker 2: very unpredictable. Never know when he's gonna come off the
3:22
Speaker 2: top rope and go for it on fourth and thirty
3:24
Speaker 2: two from his own fourgy Well, welcome into the show.
3:29
Speaker 2: We got a lot to cover today. Of course, some
3:32
Speaker 2: Seahawks rams will be the primary focus. It is a
3:35
Speaker 2: Monday morning quarterback day, and all of our Titans of
3:37
Speaker 2: Analysis will be here today to break it all down
3:40
Speaker 2: for you. It is a loss twenty one to nineteen
3:43
Speaker 2: to the Los Angeles Rams in Los Angeles, and I
3:46
Speaker 2: realize all the world is screaming Sam Darnold doesn't have
3:49
Speaker 2: what it takes in big games. Man. I just don't
3:53
Speaker 2: see it that way as we sit here on a
3:55
Speaker 2: Monday morning. I mean, I don't know, maybe I'm crazy,
3:59
Speaker 2: but I saw a head coach who pretty much took
4:04
Speaker 2: Matt Stafford and Sean McVay to work, took him to school. Yesterday.
4:09
Speaker 2: After the first quarter, Matt Stafford finished with one hundred
4:12
Speaker 2: and thirty passing yards. He's been the best quarterback in
4:14
Speaker 2: the National Football League until the second quarter of yesterday's game.
4:20
Speaker 2: I saw a team that had lost the turnover battle
4:24
Speaker 2: four to one. And I saw a team yesterday that,
4:30
Speaker 2: if not for a punt that flucishly went out of bounds,
4:33
Speaker 2: that the one yard line and you had to go
4:35
Speaker 2: ninety well not ninety nine yards, but you had to
4:38
Speaker 2: go that much further to get into field goal range
4:40
Speaker 2: with little time remaining. A team that went one in
4:43
Speaker 2: four in the red zone and settled for field goals
4:46
Speaker 2: all day long, a team that nearly doubled up the
4:50
Speaker 2: yardage output of the Los Angeles Rams yesterday, that held
4:54
Speaker 2: the ball for nearly twice the amount of time that
4:57
Speaker 2: the Mighty La Rams. I mean, they faced a great
5:00
Speaker 2: team yesterday, a great offense, a great defense, and despite
5:04
Speaker 2: all of that that happened, they found themselves with a
5:07
Speaker 2: chance to win the game late on a sixty one
5:10
Speaker 2: yard field goal which Jason Myers would have made from
5:12
Speaker 2: seventy earlier in the game, and for whatever reason, just
5:15
Speaker 2: didn't hit it. True, I mean, despite the frustration, and yeah,
5:20
Speaker 2: I think Sam Darnold cost us the game yesterday, and
5:22
Speaker 2: I think he'd be the first one to admit that
5:25
Speaker 2: with his four interceptions. But despite it all, I kind
5:29
Speaker 2: of came away with it. Maybe I'm crazy. We're better
5:32
Speaker 2: than this team and we're gonna show it later on
5:35
Speaker 2: this year. So yeah, we're a game and a half
5:38
Speaker 2: out of first place at this point. But to me,
5:41
Speaker 2: after the first quarter, Mike McDonald, everything settled in and
5:47
Speaker 2: I believe that we just completely outplayed them and yet
5:50
Speaker 2: lost the game by two points. That's how I feel
5:52
Speaker 2: this Monday morning.
5:53
Speaker 3: Well, I you know how I look at the glass
5:55
Speaker 3: half full for the most part. I mean I came
5:57
Speaker 3: away with far more positive thoughts than negative thoughts. I
6:02
Speaker 3: mean the fact that, yeah, your quarterback threw four picks
6:05
Speaker 3: and you still basically had a chance to win right
6:08
Speaker 3: down to the end.
6:09
Speaker 2: It says something.
6:10
Speaker 3: I mean, most of the time, most teams, you just
6:13
Speaker 3: put throw any two teams out there, and if one
6:15
Speaker 3: of them throws four interceptions, it's not typically you're not
6:19
Speaker 3: typically going to have a last second chance at winning
6:21
Speaker 3: the ball game. That's just you're usually going to lose
6:23
Speaker 3: by double digits, it seems. And so I mean, I
6:27
Speaker 3: don't know if I'd go so far as to say
6:28
Speaker 3: I felt like you're better or the Seahawks are better
6:32
Speaker 3: than them.
6:32
Speaker 2: But they controlled the ball. I mean, they moved the ball.
6:36
Speaker 3: It wasn't like it was it was just when they
6:39
Speaker 3: got down in the red zone they ended up having
6:41
Speaker 3: to settle for field goals. You know of four times
6:44
Speaker 3: I think it was. And then there was a couple
6:46
Speaker 3: other times where you're getting right inside a field goal
6:49
Speaker 3: range or close to it at least, and you have
6:52
Speaker 3: a pick, and yet the defense bote up to only
6:55
Speaker 3: give up twenty one points to a team that's been rolling.
6:57
Speaker 2: The way that they have.
6:58
Speaker 3: There's definitely positives to look at. It was a bad
7:02
Speaker 3: game by Sam. There was some you know, just kind
7:04
Speaker 3: of off, you know, it was it was off a
7:06
Speaker 3: little bit timing wise. Throw a few of those picks
7:10
Speaker 3: were felt like it was late, you know, like an
7:13
Speaker 3: extra hitch, and all of a sudden they were jumping
7:15
Speaker 3: in on the first hitch. And so, yeah, there's there's
7:17
Speaker 3: a lot of things to clean up. That's why you
7:18
Speaker 3: end up losing that ball game. I definitely wouldn't think
7:21
Speaker 3: that they're flying home from Los Angeles thinking, man, we're
7:25
Speaker 3: just not on the same level as those guys. I'm
7:26
Speaker 3: sure that they're thinking, man, we had every opportunity to
7:29
Speaker 3: win that ball game.
7:29
Speaker 2: We should have won that game. Yeah, and they have
7:32
Speaker 2: to be thinking that, I know.
7:33
Speaker 4: I think Leonard Williams after the game was interviewed and
7:35
Speaker 4: said like, yeah, we're ready. You know, I'm already waiting
7:37
Speaker 4: for them to come back up to Seattle, like I
7:40
Speaker 4: think they think. I think they let that one get
7:42
Speaker 4: away that should have been our win. And especially after
7:45
Speaker 4: the way the game started, you stop them on their
7:47
Speaker 4: first possession and then to have that interception run back
7:51
Speaker 4: all the way to the three was it the three
7:53
Speaker 4: yard liners? You know, at that point, the defense is like, oh,
7:56
Speaker 4: we just took care of business, you know, and they
7:58
Speaker 4: and they almost took care of business again. I mean
8:00
Speaker 4: they did technically holding him to a field goal there,
8:02
Speaker 4: but uh or no, that was a touchdown. But yeah,
8:05
Speaker 4: But I just think there were so many positive things,
8:09
Speaker 4: especially defensively, to take away from that game. And then
8:13
Speaker 4: even with Donald throwing those four interceptions and still having
8:17
Speaker 4: the composure to lead the team at the end of
8:20
Speaker 4: the game to have a chance to win, it was good.
8:22
Speaker 2: Yeah. As a matter of fact, that's yes, he threw
8:26
Speaker 2: four interceptions. He cost us the game. Yeah, And if
8:29
Speaker 2: you ask Sam, he's gonna say, I can't do that, right,
8:33
Speaker 2: you know. And yet that gunslinger mentality that he's played
8:37
Speaker 2: with all season long, that everybody's been raving about and
8:41
Speaker 2: I'm not just talking about here in Seattle everywhere to
8:46
Speaker 2: he took that same mentality in and I didn't see
8:49
Speaker 2: a guy that at any point was starting to question himself.
8:52
Speaker 2: Mike McDonald and Clint Kubiak have clearly given them the
8:55
Speaker 2: instructions go out there and rip it. Even after the game,
8:58
Speaker 2: Mike McDonald was asked Sam Darnold's performance, he said, fine
9:03
Speaker 2: with it, went out there and ripped it. Those were
9:05
Speaker 2: the words that he used in the postgame press conference.
9:09
Speaker 2: And certainly no head coach wants to lose the turnover
9:13
Speaker 2: battle four to one. No head coach is ever going
9:15
Speaker 2: to give a gold star to somebody that throws four interceptions.
9:19
Speaker 2: But despite the four interceptions, Sam was Sam's game never
9:24
Speaker 2: really changed. He led a touchdown drive in the fourth
9:27
Speaker 2: quarter and let a feel goal attempt drive in the
9:30
Speaker 2: fourth quarter, which, again, if that ball doesn't somehow go
9:32
Speaker 2: out at the one, I think we win the game.
9:35
Speaker 2: I think that if you're starting at the twenty, I
9:38
Speaker 2: mean nineteen yards difference. Yeah, Now to mention the backs
9:41
Speaker 2: against the wall feeling that you have to play with
9:44
Speaker 2: when you're at the one yard line, you can't just
9:46
Speaker 2: come out and do your normal two minute drill at
9:49
Speaker 2: that point. You got to get out of harm's way
9:50
Speaker 2: first and that takes time. So for him to lead
9:54
Speaker 2: basically two scoring drives despite throwing four interceptions in the game,
9:59
Speaker 2: I just didn't see a guy whose confidence was shaken.
10:02
Speaker 2: I think he threw some ill timed passes. Other than that, Yeah,
10:08
Speaker 2: he I mean, he certainly, I mean led more drives
10:12
Speaker 2: than Matt Stafford did yesterday. I watched Jared Goff play
10:15
Speaker 2: the Eagles last night, Mushy button all, and I saw
10:20
Speaker 2: a guy that lost his confidence, that couldn't complete a
10:23
Speaker 2: pass that you know, look like he was afraid to
10:27
Speaker 2: get hit, was afraid to make the mistake. Where I
10:31
Speaker 2: didn't see that from Sam Donald. Yes, Sam Donald's fault
10:36
Speaker 2: that we lost the game. He doesn't throw those four interceptions,
10:38
Speaker 2: Seahawks probably win the game. But I just, I mean,
10:42
Speaker 2: I just heard this narrative like that everything's on the
10:45
Speaker 2: line for Sam Like we're gonna sit here on a
10:47
Speaker 2: Monday morning and ask, Okay, what does this mean about
10:51
Speaker 2: Sam Donald. I think he played the exact same way.
10:54
Speaker 2: He got caught with his hand in the cookie jar
10:56
Speaker 2: a couple times too many, playing very aggressive football, and
11:01
Speaker 2: I don't think anything changes in my opinion about Sam Donald.
11:05
Speaker 2: He's been playing that way and playing very well all
11:07
Speaker 2: season long. I don't feel any differently about him. Am
11:11
Speaker 2: I worried that Sam Donald's not the right guy the
11:14
Speaker 2: next time we face the Rams or to try to
11:16
Speaker 2: lead us in the second half of the season. Not
11:18
Speaker 2: for one second, so played them, made four reckless plays
11:23
Speaker 2: yesterday and the Rams caught every single one of them.
11:26
Speaker 2: Other than that, though, he outplayed Matt Stafford, who's the
11:28
Speaker 2: MVP of the National Football League right now.
11:31
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, I mean it, I think that he just didn't. Yeah,
11:34
Speaker 3: he had some mistakes, obviously, I think it was late
11:36
Speaker 3: getting rid of a couple of them, and yet he
11:38
Speaker 3: just if you do that, you put yourself in harm's way.
11:42
Speaker 3: I do think that punt that you're talking about, I
11:45
Speaker 3: mean that's about as perfect as you can possibly place it,
11:47
Speaker 3: and then yet it's there's some luck involved with that,
11:51
Speaker 3: and that did put you kind of behind the eight ball.
11:54
Speaker 3: I think they only had what the one time out
11:56
Speaker 3: left at that point as well, So it kind of
11:58
Speaker 3: felt like, boy, you are it's gonna need your gonna
12:02
Speaker 3: need a near perfect, you know, two minute offensive drive
12:07
Speaker 3: to kind of get down there and get to where
12:08
Speaker 3: you really feel good about the.
12:11
Speaker 2: Game winning field goal.
12:13
Speaker 3: And they had a couple mishaps here and there that
12:15
Speaker 3: were just you know a couple of plays that didn't
12:17
Speaker 3: weren't positive, and you didn't just go bing bing bing
12:19
Speaker 3: and get right down.
12:20
Speaker 2: There the way they could.
12:21
Speaker 3: But Yeah, ultimately you, you floundered a little bit, You
12:25
Speaker 3: had a couple of mistakes that ended up turning into
12:27
Speaker 3: points for them and not points for you. In a
12:29
Speaker 3: two point ball game, it doesn't take but one or
12:32
Speaker 3: two things to change. I think that the team, the
12:36
Speaker 3: rest of his teammates kind of feel like, dude, that's fine,
12:38
Speaker 3: that's gonna happen, right, I mean, is for is a
12:41
Speaker 3: bad game, right threes are really is still a pretty
12:44
Speaker 3: bad game. But you're gonna have some interceptions and over
12:46
Speaker 3: the course of the season they're gonna accumulate. I think
12:50
Speaker 3: that if anything, it would just be okay. If you
12:52
Speaker 3: go out and he turns a ball over a bunch
12:55
Speaker 3: of times against Tennessee, then it's a talking point.
12:57
Speaker 2: That's then it's conversation.
12:58
Speaker 3: Otherwise it's not a it's just a yeah, you had
13:01
Speaker 3: a bad game, and really it was you were kind
13:03
Speaker 3: of controlling the ball and you're playing against a really
13:05
Speaker 3: good defense that gets really stout down in the red zone,
13:08
Speaker 3: and so you're going you're when you're going against a
13:11
Speaker 3: good team, sometimes they're going to make good plays and
13:14
Speaker 3: if it if you combine it with poor timing or
13:16
Speaker 3: just a bad decision on your part, like that jump pass.
13:19
Speaker 3: You know, if you okay, it's just not what you
13:22
Speaker 3: need to do right there. That's not the city that
13:24
Speaker 3: doesn't call for that in that situation. Those are the
13:26
Speaker 3: type of things, the small little things, and it's so
13:28
Speaker 3: important for a quarterback to not do that because, yeah,
13:32
Speaker 3: you find yourself in a very evenly matched ball game
13:34
Speaker 3: coming up on the short end.
13:35
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I just keep going back to we
13:37
Speaker 2: tell him to let it rip, and I think he
13:39
Speaker 2: let it rip, and yeah he got I'll repeat this.
13:42
Speaker 2: I think he got the hand caught in the cookie jar.
13:44
Speaker 2: You you know you were a kid. I got a
13:46
Speaker 2: lot more cookies than I got caught trying to slip cookies,
13:50
Speaker 2: you know, when mom wasn't looking. I ate a lot
13:52
Speaker 2: more cookies than I did get caught. And I think
13:55
Speaker 2: he got caught yesterday. I mean I watched the Bills
13:57
Speaker 2: Buccaneers game pretty much the entire thing. Baker Mayfield could
14:00
Speaker 2: have thrown nine interceptions yesterday. Josh Allen could have thrown
14:03
Speaker 2: eight interceptions yesterday, but not every single one of them
14:07
Speaker 2: got caught by the defense. Sam Donald's four interception possibilities
14:12
Speaker 2: got caught by the defense yesterday, and so Yeah, he's
14:16
Speaker 2: got to wear it. And I'll be the first person
14:19
Speaker 2: this morning to say, we win that game if Sam
14:22
Speaker 2: Donald doesn't commit four turnovers. Yeah, okay. Yeah. But on
14:25
Speaker 2: the other hand, I think that I am encouraged that
14:30
Speaker 2: he never really changed the way that he's been playing
14:33
Speaker 2: all season long. And I think that's a byproduct of
14:36
Speaker 2: Mike McDonald and Clint Kubiak. They got the version of
14:40
Speaker 2: Sam Donald that they want to get, obviously, with the
14:44
Speaker 2: obvious being we can't turn the ball over that many times.
14:47
Speaker 4: Yeah, And as you said, Sam would be the first
14:49
Speaker 4: one to say that. I mean he probably that whole
14:52
Speaker 4: flight home, just was replaying each one of those interceptions,
14:55
Speaker 4: watching the video, just thinking why did I make that choice?
14:58
Speaker 2: Why did I do that?
15:00
Speaker 4: Because I mean I was sitting there yelling at the TV,
15:02
Speaker 4: like what are you doing? There was a couple moments where,
15:06
Speaker 4: at least on a couple of those interceptions where it
15:08
Speaker 4: seemed like, were you actually just throwing it to the Rams?
15:11
Speaker 4: I mean, there wasn't, but he was also under so
15:14
Speaker 4: much pressure. But I mean, because we can't take away
15:16
Speaker 4: from the Rams defense at all.
15:18
Speaker 2: The Rams that made grazy.
15:19
Speaker 4: Yeah, they were phenomenal and if you would have told
15:22
Speaker 4: me when that game started and they scored two touchdowns
15:26
Speaker 4: and we were only scoring field goals, if you would
15:28
Speaker 4: have told me at the end of the game we
15:29
Speaker 4: would have been kicking the ball for a chance to
15:32
Speaker 4: win it, I would have laughed at you.
15:35
Speaker 2: And that has everything to do with Mike McDonald, which
15:37
Speaker 2: I think is the other storyline here, because the other
15:41
Speaker 2: thing that we spend even more time on last week,
15:45
Speaker 2: more than what does this say about Sam Donald if
15:47
Speaker 2: he doesn't get the job done? We spent very little
15:50
Speaker 2: time on that, even though it did become a topic. Well,
15:53
Speaker 2: we spent the majority of the week talking about is
15:55
Speaker 2: McDonald versus McVeigh and McDonald won. I mean McDonald just
16:01
Speaker 2: completely out schemed. I mean Matt Stafford has not looked
16:04
Speaker 2: confused all season long. He was confused for three quarters.
16:08
Speaker 2: I mean he was handed a ball at the three
16:10
Speaker 2: yard line, it took him four plays to get it
16:12
Speaker 2: in on a touchdown, and then they had a couple
16:14
Speaker 2: of other touchdown drives. Other than that, Matt Stafford was
16:17
Speaker 2: throwing dirting a lot of balls, throwing a lot of
16:20
Speaker 2: balls away. He barely completed fifty percent of his passes yesterday.
16:24
Speaker 2: He didn't say take a sack, and he didn't commit
16:26
Speaker 2: a turnover. And maybe that goes to a lot more
16:29
Speaker 2: experience than what Sam Donald has playing in big games
16:33
Speaker 2: and just playing period. But he looked as confused as
16:38
Speaker 2: I've seen Matt Stafford look in a Rams uniform yesterday.
16:41
Speaker 2: And that's all has to do with Mike McDonald and
16:44
Speaker 2: his defense. He kept Matt Stafford from getting into a
16:48
Speaker 2: rhythm again pretty much for three quarters yesterday.
16:53
Speaker 3: It was a well coached game, I thought. I felt
16:55
Speaker 3: like both teams came out and did some things. I mean,
16:59
Speaker 3: it's hard for me to compare the just the stats
17:02
Speaker 3: side by side, simply because one of the positives that
17:05
Speaker 3: you take out of a loss is how well Seattle
17:08
Speaker 3: did move the ball against their defense. Now again, didn't
17:11
Speaker 3: do a whole heck of a lot except for kickfield
17:13
Speaker 3: goals when they got down there for the first three
17:16
Speaker 3: quarters until that that final touchdown that they gave them
17:19
Speaker 3: the chance. And and yet so to me, it's kind
17:21
Speaker 3: of like, well, the Rams defense is pretty good, it's
17:24
Speaker 3: a it is a really good defense, and yet the
17:26
Speaker 3: offense showed up and controlled the ball. And then the
17:29
Speaker 3: way in which the score went down. It's not like
17:32
Speaker 3: I think the Rams were by any stretch thinking oh,
17:34
Speaker 3: we can take our foot off the gas. And yet
17:36
Speaker 3: there also was a we're just trying to methodically, you wanted,
17:39
Speaker 3: they wanted to put together good drives, and when they would,
17:42
Speaker 3: when they would get a couple first downs, then it
17:44
Speaker 3: would stall out or it would the defense would end
17:47
Speaker 3: up stopping them. So to me, it was the way
17:49
Speaker 3: in which the score was of the game. I don't
17:52
Speaker 3: necessarily compare the stats equal to each other because it's
17:55
Speaker 3: just like, well, it's not like we were in prevent
17:58
Speaker 3: defense and they were taking their foot off the gas.
18:00
Speaker 2: That was three quarters worth. They had twelve first downs
18:03
Speaker 2: for the entire game. Yeah, they just didn't have But
18:06
Speaker 2: that's what I mean. They just didn't have the ball.
18:08
Speaker 2: I mean, it was like.
18:08
Speaker 3: Away from them, or we kept it away from them. Offensively,
18:13
Speaker 3: that's the part where that's where it seems like they're
18:15
Speaker 3: not really too even steven things. But it's the same game,
18:20
Speaker 3: I mean, you want to That's where I'm giving credit
18:23
Speaker 3: to the Seahawks defense and to Mike McDonald because they
18:26
Speaker 3: didn't allow them to sustain these seven minute drives that
18:29
Speaker 3: I mean was it the third quarter or second quarter?
18:32
Speaker 3: That was basically three drives a seven minute drive for
18:34
Speaker 3: the Seahawks, and then they got the ball and punted,
18:37
Speaker 3: and then another seven minute drive or the entire quarter
18:39
Speaker 3: they had the ball, and so it was just one
18:41
Speaker 3: of those. And yet at that point in time, it's
18:43
Speaker 3: fourteen to nine going into halftime, So it was just like, wow,
18:46
Speaker 3: you just felt like you you absolutely dominated that quarter
18:49
Speaker 3: in particular, you had the ball the entire time, and
18:52
Speaker 3: yet you still find yourself on the losing end. So
18:55
Speaker 3: it's a It was a good game and definitely the
18:56
Speaker 3: matchup of McVeigh versus McDonald lived up to the hype.
19:00
Speaker 2: Wait for the rematch. I can't wait for the analysis
19:03
Speaker 2: from our experts, which is coming your way. Let's find
19:05
Speaker 2: out what's on tap? What's on tep, what's on tap?
19:12
Speaker 2: All right? Rams do win over the Seahawks twenty one
19:15
Speaker 2: to nineteen, so they take an essence a game and
19:17
Speaker 2: a half lead in the NFC West seven and three.
19:20
Speaker 2: Seahawks will next play at Tennessee against the worst team
19:23
Speaker 2: in the National Football their trap game. That will be
19:26
Speaker 2: next Sunday, so you better bring it. Grace Zabel left
19:30
Speaker 2: this game with an injury, and it did not look good,
19:32
Speaker 2: and that is not a guy you want to lose.
19:34
Speaker 2: So we'll get an update from Greg Bell at seven
19:37
Speaker 2: oh five, and then at eight o'clock Hugh Millan will
19:39
Speaker 2: join us with Monday Morning Quarterback Today. Mike Homem gonna
19:42
Speaker 2: be with us at nine o'clock. So we've got two
19:45
Speaker 2: and a half plus hours of analysis of yesterday's lost
19:49
Speaker 2: to the Los Angeles Rams. The Philadelphia Eagles won over
19:53
Speaker 2: Detroit sixteen to nine late last night. Big controversial play
19:57
Speaker 2: at the end, a pass interference which denied Detroit getting
20:01
Speaker 2: the ball back and a chance to tie the game,
20:03
Speaker 2: maybe even win the game the way that Dan Campbell
20:06
Speaker 2: calls things, and instead it's a Philadelphia victory. Something we'll
20:11
Speaker 2: talk to Gene Sterator about tomorrow. But we've got your
20:15
Speaker 2: entire scoreboard coming up at six point thirty with cold
20:18
Speaker 2: turkey sandwich aboard of scores. U dub gets back on
20:21
Speaker 2: the winning track forty nine thirteen blowout win over Purdue Saturday,
20:26
Speaker 2: But the big upset. The big talking point in college
20:29
Speaker 2: football Saturday was Oklahoma upsetting Alabama. Oklahoma's jumped them in
20:34
Speaker 2: the APE poll. They're up to eight. Alabama fell six
20:38
Speaker 2: spots all the way down to number ten. Ohio State
20:41
Speaker 2: is still ranked number one. We'll certainly talk more college
20:44
Speaker 2: football tomorrow. Kraken have one two straight, including four to
20:48
Speaker 2: one over San Jose Saturday night in front of Ashley Ryan.
20:52
Speaker 2: They will play tomorrow at Detroit against the fighting Everett
20:56
Speaker 2: Fitzhughes and Josh Naylor, which we will find time to
21:00
Speaker 2: talk about today, but certainly designate it for more time tomorrow.
21:04
Speaker 2: If you haven't heard great news Mariner fans. The first
21:08
Speaker 2: free agent to sign this offseason, like legit free agent
21:12
Speaker 2: is Josh Naylor, and he has decided to re sign
21:16
Speaker 2: with the Seattle Mariners, a five year deal estimation between
21:20
Speaker 2: ninety and one hundred million dollars. He has to pass
21:24
Speaker 2: a physical today, but when you re sign with your
21:27
Speaker 2: own team, they kind of know, Yeah, they know what
21:29
Speaker 2: they're dealing with. Yeah, so I don't think that would
21:32
Speaker 2: be any kind of a hurdle to have to clear.
21:34
Speaker 2: But today we should finalize the Josh Naylor deal. He's
21:38
Speaker 2: going to remain. A Seattle Mariner analysis coming your way
21:42
Speaker 2: later on in the show. And finally, sad news, Kenny
21:46
Speaker 2: easily passed away over the weekend and one of the
21:49
Speaker 2: all time great players in NFL history, certainly one of
21:52
Speaker 2: the all time great Seahawks. And so he left us
21:55
Speaker 2: too early. So Kenny easily one of the great Seahawks
21:58
Speaker 2: passing away over the weekend. All right, we'll get to
22:01
Speaker 2: a lot today. Coming up next cold Turkey sandwich, a
22:03
Speaker 2: board of scores on Chuck and Buck Sports Radio ninety
22:06
Speaker 2: three point three KJRFM, Riley Patterson steps up.
22:12
Speaker 5: He's gonna have the pool split at the nineteen yard
22:14
Speaker 5: line of twenty nine yard kick for the Dolphins.
22:19
Speaker 2: For all the marbles in Madrid. Snap and hold are
22:23
Speaker 2: good and the kick is good.
22:26
Speaker 5: Miami win it in the Spanish capital over time for
22:30
Speaker 5: the second time in two weeks in the International series.
22:33
Speaker 5: But it's the Dolphins that go dancing out of Spain
22:37
Speaker 5: within a sixteen to seventeen victory over the Commanders.
22:42
Speaker 2: Sounds so Weiry, it's Chucking, Buck and Ashley with you. Yes,
22:46
Speaker 2: we do have Greg Bell on the way at seven
22:48
Speaker 2: o five. You millin at eight o'clock, and yeah, I
22:51
Speaker 2: mean I opened myself to him coming on today and
22:54
Speaker 2: saying Sam Darnold's atrocious and you don't know what you're
22:56
Speaker 2: talking about. And he did have a bad game, no
23:00
Speaker 2: doubt about with the four interceptions, but we shall see.
23:02
Speaker 2: I'm still looking very much forward to you Millen and
23:04
Speaker 2: Mike Holmgan breaking it down for us from eight to nine.
23:08
Speaker 2: By the way, we didn't even mention this, that whole
23:11
Speaker 2: sequence where caller up, who I'm ready to be caller out.
23:17
Speaker 2: That's like two weeks in a row that in very
23:19
Speaker 2: limited play on time, he's had two terrible penalties that
23:24
Speaker 2: have cost this team. And so yeah, that that was
23:26
Speaker 2: the penalty on the took about the touchdown, took away
23:29
Speaker 2: the locker touchdown, and then Sam misses Shaheed. Yeah, well
23:33
Speaker 2: he didn't miss him, he underthrew him. Yeah, that was
23:35
Speaker 2: another short touchdown and you have to settle for a
23:37
Speaker 2: field goal at that. That was a really crucial sequence
23:40
Speaker 2: right there, and Sam did make a bad throw. He
23:42
Speaker 2: should have got it there on time. So anyway, a
23:45
Speaker 2: lot to talk about with Hugh and with coach coming
23:48
Speaker 2: up at eight o'clock today, let's get to your board
23:51
Speaker 2: of scores. That's right, it's time for cold Turkey sandwich.
23:54
Speaker 2: The highlight was the early early game, the last European game,
23:59
Speaker 2: where the Miami, Dolph and the Washington Commanders head coaches
24:02
Speaker 2: put on a clinic on how not to operate your
24:06
Speaker 2: offense in the two minut drill and ended up going
24:09
Speaker 2: to overtime, where Miami won it by a final score
24:11
Speaker 2: of sixteen to thirteen. The Dolphins improved to four and seven.
24:16
Speaker 2: The Commanders are three to eight. Another overtime game, Carolina
24:20
Speaker 2: won over Atlanta thirty to twenty seven. Don't look now,
24:23
Speaker 2: but the Panthers are just a game out of first place.
24:27
Speaker 2: Bryce Young had four hundred and forty eight passing yards
24:30
Speaker 2: in the game for Carolina. Meanwhile, Michael Pennix left the
24:33
Speaker 2: game with a knee injury and might miss some time.
24:38
Speaker 2: The Tampa Bay Buccaneers, of the team that has that
24:41
Speaker 2: one game lead over Carolina, it shrunk their lead. Suddenly
24:45
Speaker 2: you got a divisional racedown. Actually just a half a game.
24:48
Speaker 2: I take that back, just a half a game, six
24:50
Speaker 2: and four and six and five. Meanwhile, Buffalo won over
24:53
Speaker 2: Tampa Bay forty four to thirty two. Josh Allen had
24:56
Speaker 2: some crazy plays in that game that kind of remind
25:00
Speaker 2: did you of young Josh Allen, But he also had
25:02
Speaker 2: six touchdowns in the game as well, which kind of
25:05
Speaker 2: reminded you of awesome, Josh Allen.
25:07
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's pretty good. I mean that was a kind
25:11
Speaker 3: of a heavyweight fight. I think those are two probably
25:14
Speaker 3: two playoff teams, I would imagine, and they were toe
25:17
Speaker 3: to toe and the Bills just kind of pulled away
25:19
Speaker 3: there at.
25:19
Speaker 2: The end behind Davis Mills. The Houston Texans have climbed
25:23
Speaker 2: back to five hundred, but they narrowly went over the
25:26
Speaker 2: lowly Tennessee Titans a sixteen to thirteen the final score.
25:30
Speaker 2: Tennessee perhaps on its way to back to back number
25:34
Speaker 2: one picks in the NFL Draft. They are one to
25:36
Speaker 2: nine and we'll host the Seattle Seahawks next Sunday. Chicago
25:41
Speaker 2: Bears just keep finding ways to win. I'll give Ben
25:44
Speaker 2: Johnson's team that. I don't know if they're as good
25:46
Speaker 2: as a seven and three record, but they keep figuring
25:49
Speaker 2: out ways to pull games out. Yesterday, Minnesota rallied back
25:53
Speaker 2: to take a seventeen to sixteen lead late in the game,
25:57
Speaker 2: but they had the Bears, that is, had a game
25:59
Speaker 2: winning forty eight yard field goal. So Chicago now leads
26:03
Speaker 2: a division that you know, everybody talked about, Detroit, Green
26:08
Speaker 2: Bay and Minnesota going into the year and it's the
26:11
Speaker 2: Bears who were in first place in that division. That's
26:13
Speaker 2: quite the flip of roo.
26:14
Speaker 3: I mean, it was gonna be interesting to see what
26:16
Speaker 3: Ben Johnson could do with Kayleb Williams, and their front
26:20
Speaker 3: office went out and said, hey, we're gonna go ahead
26:22
Speaker 3: and make some moves to to you know, upgrade that
26:25
Speaker 3: side of the ball. Yeah, they don't look super consistent,
26:28
Speaker 3: but that's, I guess to be expected. Was still somewhat
26:31
Speaker 3: of a young quarterback in a first year head coach
26:33
Speaker 3: try and implement his system. But it's the biggest flip
26:37
Speaker 3: in the NFL as far as that division goes. That
26:39
Speaker 3: the other three teams were unbelievable last year. Yeah, all
26:42
Speaker 3: three playoff teams I think, and now all of a sudden,
26:44
Speaker 3: Chicago's the team that's on top.
26:46
Speaker 2: Interesting. I don't think it's gonna last. Well.
26:48
Speaker 4: It's funny though, because all of their wins lately, it
26:51
Speaker 4: seems like you're watching it the end going like, how
26:53
Speaker 4: did they just do that?
26:55
Speaker 2: Especially?
26:55
Speaker 4: Yeah, yesterday Minnesota was terrible. Chicago should not it should
26:59
Speaker 4: not have had them down to them winning the last second.
27:01
Speaker 2: Minnesota looked awful. I guess they did lose a lot
27:04
Speaker 2: of crazy games last year in the end if you
27:07
Speaker 2: remember the Daniels, Hail Mary and things like that. But man,
27:11
Speaker 2: they certainly seem to be winning all of those crazy
27:14
Speaker 2: games this year. The Green Bay Packers just a half
27:17
Speaker 2: game back, they bounced back with a twenty seven to
27:19
Speaker 2: twenty win over the New York Giants. Jamis Winston made
27:22
Speaker 2: the start for the Giants two hundred and one passing
27:25
Speaker 2: yards and a touchdown run, but New York falls to
27:27
Speaker 2: two and nine. That was their first game without Brian
27:30
Speaker 2: Dable as head coach. The Pittsburgh Steelers won over Cincinnati
27:34
Speaker 2: thirty four to twelve, So Pittsburgh improves to six and four.
27:38
Speaker 2: That angles are now three and seven. But said yesterday
27:41
Speaker 2: that when Joe Burrow is ready, regardless of record, he
27:44
Speaker 2: is going to play for us in a Cincinnati uniform
27:47
Speaker 2: this season. As soon as he's ready, he's back in
27:49
Speaker 2: the starting lineup. Meanwhile, Pittsburgh doesn't know when Aaron Rodgers
27:53
Speaker 2: will be back into the starting lineup. He not only
27:55
Speaker 2: left the game with a wrist injury, it might be
27:58
Speaker 2: a broken bone. The ball Timore Ravens have now won
28:01
Speaker 2: four straight. They won over Cleveland. Wasn't easy, but they
28:04
Speaker 2: took out the Browns in Cleveland twenty three to sixteen.
28:07
Speaker 2: So Baltimore is five and five. They've climbed out of
28:11
Speaker 2: that one in five hole. They dug themselves. Meanwhile, for Cleveland,
28:14
Speaker 2: Miles Garrett had four more sacks yesterday. He has fifteen
28:20
Speaker 2: now on the season through ten games, which means he's
28:23
Speaker 2: on pace for over twenty five sacks this year, which
28:27
Speaker 2: would be not only an NFL record, an NFL record
28:30
Speaker 2: by a good two and a half three sacks. And
28:33
Speaker 2: so Miles Garrett probably on track to win Defensive Player
28:38
Speaker 2: of the Year even though the team is two and
28:40
Speaker 2: eight on the season. The Jacksonville Jaguars just destroyed the
28:45
Speaker 2: Chargers yesterday thirty five to six. Huh looking forward to
28:50
Speaker 2: the by much? I mean, what other explanation is it
28:54
Speaker 2: for the Los Angeles Chargers to look that horrible against
28:58
Speaker 2: a team that's been declined ever since the four week
29:02
Speaker 2: mark of the season.
29:02
Speaker 3: Yeah, the Jaguars are pretty odd as far as they're
29:06
Speaker 3: not very consistent, and yet if they're if you give
29:09
Speaker 3: them the opportunity, that defense will take the ball from you,
29:11
Speaker 3: and that's where you wind up, you know, finding yourself
29:13
Speaker 3: getting absolutely smoked like the Chargers did yesterday really tough
29:17
Speaker 3: for me to watch.
29:18
Speaker 2: Sorry about it. Yeah, I'm sure, I'm sure. The Chargers
29:21
Speaker 2: are now two games back of the Denver Broncos, who
29:24
Speaker 2: are nine and two on the season. The Broncos are
29:27
Speaker 2: four and a half games up on the Kansas City Chiefs.
29:31
Speaker 2: The Broncos won yesterday twenty two to nineteen. Their field
29:35
Speaker 2: goal kicker Will Luttz walked it off, and the Kansas
29:38
Speaker 2: City Chiefs have lost two straight. After it looked like, man,
29:41
Speaker 2: they were back, the Chiefs were back. They've lost two straight.
29:44
Speaker 2: They're a five hundred football team right now.
29:46
Speaker 3: Yeah, they they I mean they're still good ball club.
29:49
Speaker 3: I mean they just had a hard time figuring out
29:52
Speaker 3: a way to penetrate the defense. The Broncos defense is
29:55
Speaker 3: what's basically their quality card at this point. I mean
29:57
Speaker 3: the offense, Bo Nicks and Sean Payton, they'll find a
30:01
Speaker 3: way to call enough plays to get enough points. But
30:04
Speaker 3: boil boy, it's it's on the edge of your seat
30:06
Speaker 3: type of thing. But the nice thing is is, as
30:08
Speaker 3: long as you're not turning the ball over a bunch
30:10
Speaker 3: of times, your defense doesn't give you a chance to
30:12
Speaker 3: be in every game.
30:13
Speaker 2: San Francisco forty nine Ers won a laugher over Arizona
30:16
Speaker 2: forty one to twenty two. Rock Party return to guide
30:19
Speaker 2: the forty nine ers to their seventh winn of the
30:21
Speaker 2: year against just four losses. Meanwhile, the Arizona Cardinals got
30:25
Speaker 2: forty seven completions from Jacoby Burssett, a new NFL record
30:30
Speaker 2: forty seven for fifty seven, and still lost by nineteen points.
30:34
Speaker 2: That's hard to do yet. Finally, good Philadelphia sixteen to
30:39
Speaker 2: nine winners over the Detroit Lions last night. To Jared
30:42
Speaker 2: Goff was terrible last night. Fourteen completions and thirty seven attempts.
30:46
Speaker 2: You just don't see an NFL quarterback with that low
30:49
Speaker 2: of a completion percentage these days. Couldn't convert anything on
30:52
Speaker 2: third or fourth down for the Detroit Lions, and yet
30:56
Speaker 2: they still had a chance to win the game late
30:58
Speaker 2: if not for a horrorru p I call by the
31:01
Speaker 2: rest down the sideline. Chris collins Worth called out on
31:05
Speaker 2: the spot, I don't even see how anyone could have
31:08
Speaker 2: made that call. Me are how are you doing that?
31:11
Speaker 2: When you got hand fighting between receiver and defensive back
31:14
Speaker 2: with the game on the line, and you're calling some
31:16
Speaker 2: tickie tack p I call down the sideline. That is ridiculous.
31:20
Speaker 3: It is well just across the board, the way in
31:23
Speaker 3: which they decipher which ones they're gonna let them hand
31:26
Speaker 3: fight and how much they're gonna let them.
31:28
Speaker 2: Do those two guys fight all day long, and then
31:30
Speaker 2: you call it in the most critical moment of the game. Yeah,
31:33
Speaker 2: I mean it's there.
31:34
Speaker 3: There's there's all kinds of times I'm watching any any
31:38
Speaker 3: game and I just see something where it's like, that's
31:41
Speaker 3: blatant pass interference and they don't call it, or that's
31:43
Speaker 3: not really pass, that's good defense.
31:46
Speaker 2: That yes, they're so close to each other that.
31:48
Speaker 3: They're going to be kind of rubbing arms and kind
31:50
Speaker 3: of be doing hand fighting as they call it, and
31:53
Speaker 3: they do call it. It's like the guys in his
31:55
Speaker 3: back pocket, how.
31:56
Speaker 2: Are you calling that one?
31:57
Speaker 3: And then there's other times that guy grabs it so
32:00
Speaker 3: we can only go with one arm and they don't
32:02
Speaker 3: call that one. I don't understand where it's at. I
32:04
Speaker 3: can't wait to talk to Gene about it.
32:05
Speaker 2: This is no accusation, but it's calls like that that
32:09
Speaker 2: start all of this stuff about the league is rigged. Yeah,
32:12
Speaker 2: I mean you just got to be better as an
32:14
Speaker 2: official than that. I mean, you have allowed those two
32:16
Speaker 2: to go out of each other all night long, and
32:18
Speaker 2: then with the game on the line, with them having
32:20
Speaker 2: a chance to get the ball back because Siriani's made
32:23
Speaker 2: a silly decision to go for it on fourth and
32:26
Speaker 2: one from his own thirty, they let him have a
32:29
Speaker 2: chance to get and then you call that and game over.
32:33
Speaker 4: Well, those are the moments that we see an official
32:35
Speaker 4: shouldn't determine the outcome of a game, and in that one,
32:37
Speaker 4: it's hard to say they didn't.
32:38
Speaker 2: Monday Night Football tonight, the Dallas Cowboys will be in
32:42
Speaker 2: Las Vegas taking on the Fighting Pete Carroll's so Raiders
32:46
Speaker 2: and Cowboys tonight right here on Sports Radio ninety three
32:49
Speaker 2: point three KJRFM. On a frost brewed course, I choose
32:53
Speaker 2: chill Monday. We count it down all day long to
32:56
Speaker 2: Monday Night Football tonight at five point fifteen. Coming up next, Coach,
33:00
Speaker 2: He's going to stop by, but we only got one
33:02
Speaker 2: topic in mind for Coach Bucky Today. His name is
33:04
Speaker 2: Josh Naylor. Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM coached
33:09
Speaker 2: every single sport out there, including sloth hunting, and yet
33:14
Speaker 2: I only want to talk baseball with coach Bucky here
33:16
Speaker 2: this morning because yesterday we got to wonderful news here
33:20
Speaker 2: in Seattle. At some point today we should have a
33:23
Speaker 2: finalized agreement with Josh Naylor to remain our first baseman
33:28
Speaker 2: for the next five years.
33:30
Speaker 3: What'd you think of that? That was the best news
33:32
Speaker 3: all day, without a doubt. I mean, I think I
33:34
Speaker 3: don't think there's anybody that cheers for the Mariners that
33:37
Speaker 3: wasn't hoping that that was. I mean, we heard it
33:40
Speaker 3: was going to be their number one priority, but you know,
33:43
Speaker 3: there's been other things that I think we've heard, like
33:44
Speaker 3: we really this is a top priority for us, and
33:47
Speaker 3: they end up going somewhere else. And so the fact
33:49
Speaker 3: that that sounds like that they're going to be able
33:51
Speaker 3: to finalize this, it's just waiting for the physical side
33:55
Speaker 3: of it. And you're right, once you leave the season,
33:57
Speaker 3: everybody knows. Everybody in that building knows what his physical
34:00
Speaker 3: situation is right now, and he was healthy enough to
34:03
Speaker 3: be playing at the end of the year. So great news.
34:05
Speaker 3: I mean, he was the guy that we I think
34:08
Speaker 3: everybody had circled bike. If you really are serious about
34:11
Speaker 3: pushing this thing over the top, don't let something that
34:13
Speaker 3: you found at the trade deadline that fit in perfectly,
34:16
Speaker 3: don't let that walk away.
34:18
Speaker 2: I think it's such a great sign for the organization, frankly,
34:22
Speaker 2: because I mean, we talk about how they're not accustomed
34:25
Speaker 2: to making those deals at the deadline for a rental
34:28
Speaker 2: player anyway, and so for them to do it and
34:31
Speaker 2: to give up a prospect. We've also accused them of
34:34
Speaker 2: falling in love with all of their prospects. I know
34:36
Speaker 2: it wasn't easy for them. I know it was. John
34:39
Speaker 2: stand said it publicly. It wasn't easy for me to
34:41
Speaker 2: go ask the owners for more money at the trading
34:43
Speaker 2: deadline to afford both Naylor and swore as the rest
34:46
Speaker 2: of the way. So for the front office to actually
34:51
Speaker 2: entertain that, for ownership to say, yeah, that's worth that,
34:56
Speaker 2: and then to get to the offseason and recognize, man
35:00
Speaker 2: that really works for us. Come on, ownership, get a
35:04
Speaker 2: little uncomfortable with another big fat contract, and now giving
35:08
Speaker 2: up the prospect for Josh Naylor, who you'll get for
35:11
Speaker 2: five more seasons, looks like nothing in the transaction process.
35:17
Speaker 2: The only reason that it was risky is because Naylor
35:19
Speaker 2: could leave you after a couple of months. Now you
35:22
Speaker 2: got him for the next five years. And you've obviously
35:25
Speaker 2: were very aggressive for him to be the first free
35:27
Speaker 2: agent Bucky off of the board this offseason. They obviously
35:30
Speaker 2: hit him with a deal that he liked. You know,
35:34
Speaker 2: they played up to market value, and they didn't even
35:38
Speaker 2: allow him to go entertain other offers. I think that
35:41
Speaker 2: this is just a great sign overall about a lot
35:44
Speaker 2: of lessons that have been learned by this organization the
35:46
Speaker 2: last eighteen months.
35:47
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, I mean, I get how you don't like
35:50
Speaker 3: playing in that sandbox of giving away a prospect for
35:53
Speaker 3: a rental player, and yet this year they decided to
35:55
Speaker 3: do it because they realized they needed to You needed
35:59
Speaker 3: to upgrade at first base primarily, and you could use
36:03
Speaker 3: one obviously at third base and Geno. And so the
36:05
Speaker 3: idea of going out and saying we got we're not
36:07
Speaker 3: gonna stand pat right now.
36:09
Speaker 2: We like where we're at.
36:10
Speaker 3: And yet it's if we want to go win a
36:11
Speaker 3: World Series, and you were as close as you've ever
36:14
Speaker 3: been to getting at least two to one and having
36:16
Speaker 3: a shot at it. To recognize that and then also
36:19
Speaker 3: being I would say, well, this is our plan. Our
36:22
Speaker 3: hope was that we give away a prospect that we
36:24
Speaker 3: did like in getting him, but hopefully he falls in
36:27
Speaker 3: love with the city, falls in love with the teammates,
36:30
Speaker 3: falls in love with being a Seattle Mariner, and we
36:33
Speaker 3: give come back.
36:34
Speaker 2: It's very clear that he did. By the way.
36:35
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, he seems like the type of guy.
36:38
Speaker 3: I mean, just for watching him from afar. We haven't
36:40
Speaker 3: got to meet him yet, but it seems like the
36:42
Speaker 3: type of guy that he's just going to be a
36:45
Speaker 3: class act, good teammate regardless of where he's at right.
36:48
Speaker 3: The intensity that brings the you know, just kind of
36:50
Speaker 3: the passion for the game, the serious and kind of
36:53
Speaker 3: no nonsense like I'm here to win ball games.
36:55
Speaker 2: I'm here to go out and do my job. I
36:57
Speaker 2: think that plays everywhere.
36:59
Speaker 3: And yet there's something there is a special nucleus of guys,
37:03
Speaker 3: you know, Cal and Julio and the rest of the gang.
37:05
Speaker 3: I think that it is a really tight knit clubhouse,
37:08
Speaker 3: even though every clubhouse says that, I legitimately know that
37:11
Speaker 3: there's a difference, and you can see that there's a difference.
37:13
Speaker 4: And he liked it well and it's nice to hear
37:15
Speaker 4: when Darry was talking about in that postseason press conference,
37:18
Speaker 4: you know, we like to bring these guys into the
37:20
Speaker 4: trade deadline because that's the best time of year here
37:22
Speaker 4: and then they get to fall in love with the
37:23
Speaker 4: city and they really and then we get to give
37:25
Speaker 4: them a taste of what they have and that's kind
37:27
Speaker 4: of been our so to see it then work out
37:29
Speaker 4: after his really promising.
37:32
Speaker 2: Certainly worked with Castile even though he was under contract,
37:35
Speaker 2: and so it was a little easier to negotiate this
37:37
Speaker 2: is you want him over, and you obviously offered a
37:41
Speaker 2: reasonable salary. It didn't go cheap otherwise, Josh Naylor's not
37:46
Speaker 2: signing before Thanksgiving. It was well done by all people involved.
37:52
Speaker 2: And what a great fit he's been here in Seattle.
37:55
Speaker 2: The fan base adores him, and it's nice to hear
37:58
Speaker 2: that he likes Seattle just as much as the fans
38:01
Speaker 2: like him. All Right, we'll talk more about a little
38:03
Speaker 2: bit later on in the show. Coming up next. Headlines
