- 3:11Speaker 4: You know, I'm gonna struggle getting through this show, I think.
- 3:14Speaker 4: But well, we'll do our best. Well, you know, we'll
- 3:16Speaker 4: make bold pronouncements today, you know, just just for the
- 3:19Speaker 4: sake of it.
- 3:19Speaker 3: Let's just make some proclamations about things across the league.
- 3:22Speaker 3: That's what we do. And you you look fantastic, by
- 3:24Speaker 3: the way, with a tie on today. You must have
- 3:26Speaker 3: just shot the matchup show.
- 3:28Speaker 4: We did shoot the matchup show a little earlier today,
- 3:30Speaker 4: and I wanted to keep the tie on, you know,
- 3:32Speaker 4: just I did unbutton the top button so I can
- 3:34Speaker 4: actually breathe, Yes, because I think breathing is a good thing,
- 3:36Speaker 4: you know, So I did that, but I wanted to
- 3:39Speaker 4: keep the tie on.
- 3:40Speaker 3: You look good. I love it all right, Greg cosel
- 3:43Speaker 3: with us. We teased this last week. We spent all
- 3:46Speaker 3: that last week talking about the Rams Seahawks matchup, and
- 3:48Speaker 3: Greg said, as we ended, I'm sure we'll spend some
- 3:51Speaker 3: time talking about this game before we even get to
- 3:54Speaker 3: Tennessee and Seattle, which I would think that will be
- 3:56Speaker 3: the case. Let's do that right now, Greg, Why I'm
- 4:00Speaker 3: I mean, I guess in a lot of ways an
- 4:01Speaker 3: entertaining game. If you watch the Rams Seahawks last Sunday,
- 4:05Speaker 3: you know, even whether Seahawks fan or Rams fan or
- 4:07Speaker 3: just an NFL fan across the country, a two point
- 4:09Speaker 3: game with four interceptions, Seattle still have a chance to
- 4:12Speaker 3: win at the end. We'll get into specifics, but when
- 4:15Speaker 3: you're watching that, and especially looking at the tape later,
- 4:17Speaker 3: what kind of jumped out at you? Obviously the interceptions,
- 4:19Speaker 3: but I know there's more to it than that.
- 4:21Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I mean, look, it was a game where,
- 4:24Speaker 4: quite frankly, those things did. Those plays matter a lot
- 4:27Speaker 4: because I thought the Seahawks defense played very well for
- 4:30Speaker 4: the most part. I mean, they really held down the
- 4:33Speaker 4: Rams passing game, which had really been humming. You know,
- 4:36Speaker 4: Stafford was efficient, but not really special in this game.
- 4:41Speaker 4: There were a couple of runs by Williams. I think
- 4:43Speaker 4: he had two longer runs, but other than that, and
- 4:46Speaker 4: those count, don't get me wrong, but other than that,
- 4:48Speaker 4: the run game was not a big factor. Look, the
- 4:50Speaker 4: reality is the Seahawks controlled the football. They ran seventy
- 4:55Speaker 4: nine offensive plays, and they controlled the ball for most
- 4:58Speaker 4: of the game. The Rams not run that many plays relative,
- 5:02Speaker 4: you know, what is normal in an NFL game. You know,
- 5:06Speaker 4: they were only the other issue besides the interceptions, which
- 5:09Speaker 4: was key. And you always have to look at all
- 5:12Speaker 4: these plays individually, and you know that, and that's how
- 5:14Speaker 4: I feel, whether it's interceptions, whether it's sacks, whether it's
- 5:17Speaker 4: red zone And I was gonna make the point. The
- 5:19Speaker 4: Seahawks were only one for four with the red zone
- 5:21Speaker 4: t d efficiency and that turned out to be a
- 5:23Speaker 4: defining factor in the game. They had had been sixty
- 5:26Speaker 4: eight percent touchdown efficiency coming into the Rams game, so
- 5:30Speaker 4: you know, those things really stood out. But I think
- 5:34Speaker 4: their defense has been playing really well. Look, the Rams
- 5:36Speaker 4: ran fifty offensive plays. That's it. So you know when
- 5:41Speaker 4: when a team runs fifty offensive plays and they were
- 5:43Speaker 4: only two for eleven or third down conversions. There was
- 5:47Speaker 4: a lot of pressure in this game that the Seahawks
- 5:50Speaker 4: put on Stafford. They rushed five or more on almost
- 5:54Speaker 4: half of his dropbacks, and the corollary to that was
- 5:57Speaker 4: that they played a lot more man cover they played
- 6:00Speaker 4: their highest percentage of cover one since the first week
- 6:03Speaker 4: of the season. You know, these were all things I
- 6:05Speaker 4: noticed watching the tape, because you know how I do it.
- 6:07Speaker 4: I watched the tape and then I go look at numbers.
- 6:09Speaker 4: I don't look at numbers first. I let the tape
- 6:12Speaker 4: tell me what's happening, and then I go from there.
- 6:15Speaker 4: But you know, these were all things I noticed watching
- 6:17Speaker 4: the tape.
- 6:18Speaker 3: Yeah, and I you know, a lot of us here
- 6:20Speaker 3: in Seattle kind of came away greg more encouraged even
- 6:23Speaker 3: though they lost. So the NFL is a results based business.
- 6:26Speaker 3: I mean, you play seventeen games, it's about winning and losing,
- 6:29Speaker 3: but there are is That's why we have guys like
- 6:31Speaker 3: you on. That's why we have you on every Friday,
- 6:33Speaker 3: or we have Hugh Millan on. Because the nuances of
- 6:36Speaker 3: a game sometimes do tell you bigger picture stories, I think,
- 6:40Speaker 3: and in this case, what you just said, that Seahawk
- 6:43Speaker 3: defense holding them, the rams down, the third down conversion
- 6:46Speaker 3: rate really low. Stafford, you know, throwing for less than
- 6:49Speaker 3: two hundred yards. I mean, everything about that was good.
- 6:52Speaker 3: The interceptions though, and I don't want to focus all
- 6:54Speaker 3: on the quarterback, but we do need to talk about
- 6:56Speaker 3: Sam Darnold, then yeah, And I want to get to
- 6:59Speaker 3: the red zone two and the red zone as well, Greg,
- 7:02Speaker 3: because the red zone the narrative with Donald, you know,
- 7:05Speaker 3: the big game stuff the two games last year, obviously
- 7:06Speaker 3: the Lions in the Rams playoff game. But if I
- 7:09Speaker 3: go back and you just you brought up red zone.
- 7:11Speaker 3: I think that's an important part maybe where we start.
- 7:13Speaker 3: We can get into the interceptions as well. But Greg,
- 7:16Speaker 3: that was a problem in that Lions game, was it not?
- 7:18Speaker 3: The red zone inefficiency with Donald in that offense last year.
- 7:21Speaker 3: I don't know if there were similarities to that or not,
- 7:23Speaker 3: but you've got to score in the red zone.
- 7:24Speaker 4: Well, I think you know, again, you have to look
- 7:27Speaker 4: at each one of those plays individually. Like I'll give
- 7:30Speaker 4: you an example, like third and goal from the three
- 7:33Speaker 4: yard line late in the second quarter. The Rams took
- 7:36Speaker 4: away the play design with good defense. It was a
- 7:38Speaker 4: two man route concept with a high low element. Cup
- 7:41Speaker 4: Ran the shallow crosser, Arroyo the inbreaker at the back
- 7:44Speaker 4: of the end zone. They took that away, and then
- 7:47Speaker 4: what happened where Donald couldn't really get to anything else
- 7:50Speaker 4: and there wasn't really much else to get to it
- 7:52Speaker 4: was kind of a two man concept. It's the defensive tackle.
- 7:55Speaker 4: Kobe Turner physically handled Zabel and he pressured Donald, forcing
- 7:59Speaker 4: him out of the pocket into an incompletion. So you
- 8:02Speaker 4: have to look at individual plays. There's usually not some
- 8:05Speaker 4: thematic you know, overview people want to say, well, what's
- 8:09Speaker 4: wrong with the team in the red zone or you know,
- 8:11Speaker 4: there's usually not one thing that speaks to all this.
- 8:14Speaker 4: You have to look at the plays. It's like the interceptions,
- 8:17Speaker 4: and if there's any that stood out to you, I'd
- 8:19Speaker 4: be happy to go over them. But you can't just
- 8:21Speaker 4: look at, you know, at a stat I mean, obviously,
- 8:24Speaker 4: the cumulo stow was, hey, they were one for four
- 8:26Speaker 4: in the red zone. The cuminalstaw was that Donold did
- 8:28Speaker 4: throw four picks. So when you see that, I'm sure
- 8:31Speaker 4: people maybe who didn't see the game, or or are
- 8:33Speaker 4: just watching the game on TV at the same time
- 8:35Speaker 4: they're talking to their friends or whatever. You know, they
- 8:38Speaker 4: see these numbers and they think that, oh man, that's
- 8:41Speaker 4: they're terrible in the red zone. Well, you got to
- 8:43Speaker 4: look at the plays. And I've always believed that about
- 8:46Speaker 4: pretty much everything. That's why I watched the tape. But
- 8:48Speaker 4: that was just an example, you know, where the Rams
- 8:51Speaker 4: took away what they wanted to do and then Zabel
- 8:54Speaker 4: got handled by Turner and it resulted in incompletion and
- 8:57Speaker 4: they had to kick a field goal.
- 8:58Speaker 3: Well, I think that's a great way on that for
- 9:00Speaker 3: a second, because that's as you said, look at the
- 9:03Speaker 3: individual play, people will say, oh my gosh, what was
- 9:06Speaker 3: Donald doing. You know, Donald throws an incomplete pass on
- 9:10Speaker 3: third and goal and they got this opportunity and all
- 9:12Speaker 3: that Zabel gets beat. The concept wasn't conducive to having
- 9:16Speaker 3: success against that defense. What you're telling me is the
- 9:20Speaker 3: quarterback in this case, Sam Donald really was kind of
- 9:23Speaker 3: out of options right.
- 9:25Speaker 4: On that play because they took it away and then
- 9:27Speaker 4: because then of the pressure, he didn't really have much
- 9:29Speaker 4: to do. He ran out of the pocket and you
- 9:32Speaker 4: know he had to throw it away basically because you
- 9:33Speaker 4: don't want to throw throw it. Obviously an interception in
- 9:36Speaker 4: the red zone. But yeah, I mean that's you know,
- 9:39Speaker 4: like I said, you have to look at these plays.
- 9:41Speaker 4: I mean I thought, look, if you want to talk
- 9:44Speaker 4: about a couple of interceptions, I'll be happy to. But again,
- 9:46Speaker 4: those you have to look at, you know, you know
- 9:48Speaker 4: how it is with Sam Donald, right, he throws four picks. Now,
- 9:51Speaker 4: people are pretty much I'm sure at certain people, I
- 9:54Speaker 4: never think like this because that's not the way I'm built.
- 9:56Speaker 4: You know, I watched the tape, but I'm sure a
- 9:58Speaker 4: lot of people are like, oh, Donald was dark in
- 10:00Speaker 4: this game. You know, you have to look at the plays.
- 10:03Speaker 4: You can't just you know, see four interceptions and assume that, oh, well,
- 10:06Speaker 4: Donald was terrible. You know, you have to you have
- 10:09Speaker 4: to watch that stuff and see what happened.
- 10:11Speaker 3: There were four of them. The jump the jump ball one,
- 10:14Speaker 3: uh just was one of those plays he probably am
- 10:17Speaker 3: sure a thousand times would want back. Maybe I don't.
- 10:19Speaker 3: Maybe we don't look at that.
- 10:20Speaker 4: I don't know which the last one, yeah, the last
- 10:22Speaker 4: one where he jumped, Yeah, yeah, that was just that
- 10:25Speaker 4: was one where that was as bad a decision as
- 10:28Speaker 4: a veteran quarterback.
- 10:29Speaker 5: You know.
- 10:30Speaker 4: Well, actually it was kitchen second interception in the third
- 10:33Speaker 4: quarter that was that was just tough for Donald. The
- 10:36Speaker 4: one that he tried to hit Royo. Seen you remember
- 10:39Speaker 4: that one? Yeah?
- 10:39Speaker 3: Yeah? Which which?
- 10:41Speaker 4: Yeah?
- 10:41Speaker 3: I mean, which which one kind of would you break
- 10:44Speaker 3: down the most? Which one was? Maybe I don't know,
- 10:47Speaker 3: if if I want to say, you know, it wasn't
- 10:49Speaker 3: really they're all his fault, I assume, But which one
- 10:51Speaker 3: kind of jumped out at you? Which one was the best?
- 10:53Speaker 3: With talking points? With all four?
- 10:55Speaker 4: Oh, I think there's two of them that I thought
- 10:56Speaker 4: were really interesting. The first one was it was Donald,
- 11:02Speaker 4: you know, did not handle that. Well, let's leave that
- 11:04Speaker 4: one alone. But I thought that the Durant interception was
- 11:09Speaker 4: was really an interesting play because what happened was it
- 11:12Speaker 4: was a double stunt by the Rams. They stunned more
- 11:15Speaker 4: than any team in the league. And what happened was
- 11:18Speaker 4: as Young as the looper, and he got in clean
- 11:20Speaker 4: through the B gap, so he put pressure on Donald
- 11:22Speaker 4: and Durant. He just played the pressure. He anticipated that
- 11:28Speaker 4: the pressure would get there, and so he did not
- 11:31Speaker 4: really turn and run versus Smith and Jigba, and he
- 11:34Speaker 4: sort of stayed and planted and jumped the outcut by
- 11:39Speaker 4: Smith and Jigba. And that's a tough throw versus off
- 11:42Speaker 4: coverage from the far hash. So it's a tough throw.
- 11:45Speaker 4: And then as soon as he threw it, he just
- 11:47Speaker 4: got drilled by Young. But you know, that's just one
- 11:50Speaker 4: of those tough throws. Then the interception by Kitchens. That
- 11:56Speaker 4: was the second one we're talking about now, on first
- 11:58Speaker 4: and twenty in the third quarter. It was a bad decision,
- 12:02Speaker 4: but I under you know, I try to understand what
- 12:04Speaker 4: a quarterback's thinking. That's what I try to do. You
- 12:07Speaker 4: never know for sure in because I don't know what's
- 12:09Speaker 4: in his head, right, but you know, he tried to
- 12:12Speaker 4: throw the bender to Arroyo. Okay, my guess is he
- 12:16Speaker 4: thought it was Cover two, which it had a Cover
- 12:19Speaker 4: two element to it, but the linebacker spades. What he
- 12:22Speaker 4: did is he carried Arroyo. So normally in Cover two,
- 12:26Speaker 4: the hook defender doesn't carry that seam, but he carried Arroyo,
- 12:30Speaker 4: so he was basically on his hip. And the really
- 12:34Speaker 4: cool part of that play if you're a defensive coach,
- 12:37Speaker 4: was that Forbes, who was the outside corner, pushed the
- 12:40Speaker 4: receiver and I forget who it was now, pushed the
- 12:42Speaker 4: outside receiver to the sideline. And the reason that's important
- 12:46Speaker 4: because Kitchens was a a half field Cover two defender.
- 12:50Speaker 4: So because Forbes did what he did, Kitchens did not
- 12:54Speaker 4: have to expand laterally to the sideline, worrying about the
- 12:59Speaker 4: number one receiver getting vertical so he could stay right
- 13:02Speaker 4: on his landmark inside and just be sitting there waiting
- 13:06Speaker 4: for that throw. So, you know, Mike, I type, did
- 13:11Speaker 4: Darnald think Spas would not carry our oio and that
- 13:13Speaker 4: Kitchens would expand my guess as he thought both those
- 13:16Speaker 4: things based on his sense of what cover two normally
- 13:19Speaker 4: looks like. And neither one of those things happened.
- 13:22Speaker 3: Greg. When it's all said and done again, we live
- 13:26Speaker 3: in a world of you know, proclamations and declarations and
- 13:30Speaker 3: narratives and everything else in sports, sports radio, sports fandom,
- 13:33Speaker 3: sports commentary. Does everything you do is based on watching tape?
- 13:39Speaker 3: So you've watched Sam Darnold tape now a lot for
- 13:42Speaker 3: us this year and for others across the country. Does
- 13:45Speaker 3: anything change in terms of your impressions of Sam Darnald?
- 13:48Speaker 4: Well, no, I think, And again, is there any coach
- 13:52Speaker 4: that would, you know, loves interceptions? Of course not, although
- 13:55Speaker 4: I know coaches that are offensive minded and are aggressive.
- 13:59Speaker 4: They they they're not okay with interceptions, but they understand them.
- 14:03Speaker 4: And Darnold is an aggressive mindset thrower, and that's one
- 14:07Speaker 4: of the things that makes him who he is and
- 14:08Speaker 4: one reason why he's played extremely well the last two years,
- 14:12Speaker 4: and you know you obviously want to channel that at times.
- 14:16Speaker 4: You certainly want him to have an understanding of the coverage,
- 14:18Speaker 4: but you don't want to take that away from him.
- 14:21Speaker 4: You know, you don't want to turn him into a
- 14:23Speaker 4: guy that's risk averse because you know you've seen this year,
- 14:27Speaker 4: I mean, how many balls he pushes down the field
- 14:29Speaker 4: and makes great throws. You know you don't want to
- 14:32Speaker 4: take that's who he is now is every once in
- 14:34Speaker 4: a while he's going to make a bad one or
- 14:36Speaker 4: have a game like he did against the Rams, who,
- 14:39Speaker 4: by the way, are I believe the second best defense
- 14:42Speaker 4: in the National Football League and the best defense in
- 14:44Speaker 4: the NFC and have really good players at all three levels.
- 14:48Speaker 4: So you know, it's a really good defense and a
- 14:50Speaker 4: really well schemed defense by Chris Shula, who's doing a
- 14:53Speaker 4: terrific job. So it's not as if they were playing
- 14:56Speaker 4: a bad defense. So you know, once in a while,
- 14:59Speaker 4: quarterbacks are aggressive. You know, Kurt Warner talks about this
- 15:03Speaker 4: a lot. You know, we've had this conversation where you know,
- 15:06Speaker 4: you talk about, you know, you want quarterbacks to be aggressive.
- 15:09Speaker 4: You know, that's you don't want them to not turn
- 15:12Speaker 4: the ball loose. You know, I've always said Ian that
- 15:16Speaker 4: there's not a metric with all the metrics that are
- 15:18Speaker 4: out there now, and some of them might and I'm
- 15:20Speaker 4: being honest, I don't even know what they mean. But
- 15:22Speaker 4: with all the metrics, there's no metric for balls that
- 15:25Speaker 4: should be thrown that aren't thrown. And you don't want
- 15:28Speaker 4: to be a quarterback that's not throwing balls that should
- 15:31Speaker 4: be thrown because that ends up hurting your offense a lot.
- 15:35Speaker 3: Yeah, no doubt, Greg co sail brought to by Salessider
- 15:38Speaker 3: one of the things that did jump out of me
- 15:39Speaker 3: in that game. On a positive note for the Seahawk offense,
- 15:42Speaker 3: we've been you and I've been talking about this for weeks,
- 15:45Speaker 3: Hugh and I talked about it on Mondays as well.
- 15:47Speaker 3: Ken Walker got more touches and got more involved in that. Yeah,
- 15:50Speaker 3: and he got more involved in the passing game as
- 15:52Speaker 3: well than he has been all season long. Greg and
- 15:54Speaker 3: I A lot of those are two really good signs
- 15:56Speaker 3: to see ken Walker get a lot more involve over
- 15:58Speaker 3: one hundred yards from scrimmag when it was all said
- 16:00Speaker 3: done and effective in both the passing and running game.
- 16:03Speaker 4: And the reason I look we've talked about Kenneth Warker.
- 16:05Speaker 4: We don't need to reiterate the same points that he
- 16:08Speaker 4: does have a tendency to bounce instead of hitting it out.
- 16:10Speaker 4: But the point is he's an explosive player and he
- 16:13Speaker 4: brings an explosive element to your offense, and you want
- 16:17Speaker 4: that out there. I'm not saying there's no place for Sharboney.
- 16:20Speaker 4: I mean he's a tough physical runner, Sharbone. He doesn't
- 16:23Speaker 4: have any juice, but he's a tough physical runner, and
- 16:25Speaker 4: there's places for him in a game. But boy, you
- 16:28Speaker 4: really want Kenneth Walker to be out there, and you'd
- 16:30Speaker 4: love to see him get even more involved in the
- 16:32Speaker 4: past game because he's a space guy. When he gets
- 16:35Speaker 4: into space, you really see the juice that he has,
- 16:38Speaker 4: and that adds another element because and of course we
- 16:41Speaker 4: would expect it's only been two games. Maybe the fans
- 16:45Speaker 4: are clamoring, but it's only been two games. But you
- 16:47Speaker 4: would expect Shaheed to become even more of a factor
- 16:50Speaker 4: as time goes on, and he certainly has the juice
- 16:53Speaker 4: and the ability to get vertical.
- 16:54Speaker 3: Well, they're going to do that today this weekend. On Sunday,
- 16:56Speaker 3: they take on the Tennessee Titans. Boy, how about going
- 17:00Speaker 3: from one extreme to the other. You go from the
- 17:02Speaker 3: Los Angeles Rams arguably the best team in the NFC,
- 17:04Speaker 3: and right now they look like and see how maybe
- 17:06Speaker 3: number two, to be honest with you, but they go
- 17:08Speaker 3: now to an AFC team that is one in nine
- 17:11Speaker 3: coach issues issues all the way across. They do have
- 17:15Speaker 3: some guys up front defensively that might might be a concern,
- 17:18Speaker 3: but boy, Tennessee, that's a heck of a drop off
- 17:21Speaker 3: in terms of what you're going to see competition level.
- 17:24Speaker 4: Yeah, and just one quick point. I mean you probably
- 17:26Speaker 4: remember the play where he just under threw literally by
- 17:29Speaker 4: a foot Shaheed on that fade route. That would have
- 17:31Speaker 4: been a touchdown. Y. You know, so in games like that,
- 17:34Speaker 4: those things happen. You know, It's funny how they don't
- 17:36Speaker 4: happen when things are going great. You throw at that
- 17:39Speaker 4: extra foot in a game like that, you don't throw
- 17:41Speaker 4: at the extra foot and it's not a touchdown. But anyway,
- 17:44Speaker 4: I'll tell you what about Tennessee. I watched their tap
- 17:47Speaker 4: against Houston, and obviously you know Davis Mills. And by
- 17:49Speaker 4: the way, Davis Mills is an NFL quarterback he's not
- 17:52Speaker 4: just one of those bad backups. He's an NFL quarterback.
- 17:56Speaker 4: But Tennessee last week against Houston, they were as aggressive
- 17:59Speaker 4: with blitz and pressure as they've been all season. Denard
- 18:03Speaker 4: Wilson is their DC. He would like to be aggressive.
- 18:06Speaker 4: He hasn't been much this year because my senses. He's
- 18:08Speaker 4: worried about his corners because that's probably a weakness in
- 18:11Speaker 4: their defense. But they were super aggressive last week and
- 18:14Speaker 4: they played really good defense. And they've got Jeffrey Simmons,
- 18:18Speaker 4: and Jeffrey Simmons you'll see this week he's a man's
- 18:21Speaker 4: man now. I mean, this guy is really a good player.
- 18:25Speaker 4: You know, they don't really do they have great players
- 18:28Speaker 4: on defense other than Simmons. No, they've got some solid players.
- 18:32Speaker 4: They played the rookie Kevin Winston, the safety from Penn State,
- 18:35Speaker 4: first time. He started and played every snap, and I
- 18:37Speaker 4: think he's going to be a good player. You'll notice
- 18:39Speaker 4: in me. And because he's long, he's athletic, he's interchangeable.
- 18:43Speaker 4: He can play in the back end, he can play
- 18:45Speaker 4: in the box. He's physical, he's competitive. You'll notice him
- 18:47Speaker 4: on the field. But you know, Tennessee doesn't score very much.
- 18:51Speaker 4: Right now, and they'll struggle to score against this team. Look,
- 18:54Speaker 4: Tennessee's playing with a rookie quarterback, rookie receivers, a rookie
- 18:58Speaker 4: tight end, almost no run game, and an O line
- 19:02Speaker 4: that has not played at all up to its pedigree,
- 19:05Speaker 4: not at all.
- 19:06Speaker 3: What do you see from cam Warden?
- 19:10Speaker 4: You know, I kind of like cam ward I think
- 19:12Speaker 4: that he still needs to understand the speed of the
- 19:16Speaker 4: NFL game. You know, you where you are, you probably
- 19:19Speaker 4: see a ton of college football, and you know you
- 19:21Speaker 4: have for years, and the game is just different. And
- 19:24Speaker 4: you know, for instance, when he drops back, it's too leisurely.
- 19:28Speaker 4: I mean, he needs to get get back, plant that
- 19:30Speaker 4: foot and get ready to throw it. You know, he
- 19:32Speaker 4: just needs to pick up his pace in sort of
- 19:35Speaker 4: everything he does. But he makes some throws where you go, oh,
- 19:39Speaker 4: that's an NFL throw now, And I thought early in
- 19:43Speaker 4: the season he was chasing plays. You know, he's trying
- 19:46Speaker 4: to make throws that you know, I'm sure he made
- 19:48Speaker 4: at the University of Miami and you probably remember Hi
- 19:50Speaker 4: from Washington State. You know, he is an aggressive thrower.
- 19:54Speaker 4: He moves, he tries to make plays. But you know,
- 19:57Speaker 4: in this league, you can't chase plays. You've got to
- 20:00Speaker 4: take the plays that are presented, and you know, I
- 20:03Speaker 4: think that's something he's still learning as well. I'm going
- 20:06Speaker 4: to be so anxious because I happened to do radio
- 20:08Speaker 4: with Tennessee as you may know in Nashville. I'm so
- 20:11Speaker 4: anxious to see who they hire as a coach because
- 20:14Speaker 4: I think there's a lot there with cam Ward and
- 20:16Speaker 4: I think you almost have to start from scratch a
- 20:18Speaker 4: little bit.
- 20:18Speaker 3: You said that the offensive line hasn't lived up to
- 20:20Speaker 3: his pedigree, So is that offensive line? Is there something
- 20:22Speaker 3: there they just haven't fulfilled their potential? Like I mean,
- 20:25Speaker 3: is there pieces to build around cam Ward?
- 20:28Speaker 4: Well, you know, they drafted JC Latham, whose college tape
- 20:31Speaker 4: I thought was great coming out of Alabama, and he
- 20:33Speaker 4: played left tackle last year as the rookie and was
- 20:35Speaker 4: not very good. So they moved him back this year
- 20:38Speaker 4: to his normal right tackle spot and paid a lot
- 20:40Speaker 4: of money for Dan Moore from Pittsburgh. And Latham has
- 20:44Speaker 4: not been good and Moore has not been good. You know,
- 20:46Speaker 4: they're not very good in one on one pass protection,
- 20:49Speaker 4: so you know when you're not good, And even Christian Berry,
- 20:53Speaker 4: who they signed from Denver, you know, missed most of
- 20:56Speaker 4: last year with it. I believe in Achilles was it.
- 20:59Speaker 4: He's not been as good. I hadered to hear just
- 21:01Speaker 4: randomly a press conference where he even said, you know,
- 21:04Speaker 4: I haven't been very good. I mean they haven't been
- 21:06Speaker 4: very good, you know. So it's that also places a
- 21:10Speaker 4: tremendous burden on cam Ward. But they just they just
- 21:14Speaker 4: have not lived up to what was expected.
- 21:17Speaker 3: All I know is I expect excellence from Greg Cosel
- 21:19Speaker 3: every Friday at one o'clock, and I get every Friday
- 21:22Speaker 3: at one o'clock. I get excellence. I get nothing short
- 21:24Speaker 3: of excellence. Even without Jessman here, we still got through
- 21:27Speaker 3: this today. Greg. How about that?
- 21:30Speaker 4: I mean, by the way, it was very anxious against
- 21:33Speaker 4: just one quick point. I was very anxious against the
- 21:36Speaker 4: thirteen personnel that the Rams played. And obviously they played
- 21:39Speaker 4: a few fewer snaps because they only had fifty offensive
- 21:41Speaker 4: snaps total, but they still played about forty percent of
- 21:44Speaker 4: thirteen personnel with three tight ends. The Seahawks kept em
- 21:49Speaker 4: and Oriy on the field and played big Nickel. So
- 21:51Speaker 4: he's not going to come off the field, and nor
- 21:53Speaker 4: do I think he should.
- 21:54Speaker 3: No, Eman arr Is a ton of fun to watch.
- 21:56Speaker 3: I just it's and I can't wait. You know, they'll
- 21:58Speaker 3: play without Julia Love, which is I think it's a
- 22:00Speaker 3: I know Ocad has played okay at times, but Julian Loves.
- 22:03Speaker 3: He's a pro bowler, right Like, They're going to get
- 22:04Speaker 3: better when they get him back here in a week
- 22:06Speaker 3: or two. So, and it is interesting. There's some guys
- 22:09Speaker 3: that kind of are holding out. Zabel's okay, by the way,
- 22:12Speaker 3: so you know he avoided We all kind of thought
- 22:14Speaker 3: the worst like that just screamed ACL when he got
- 22:17Speaker 3: rolled up on there. But it looks like Zabel's gonna
- 22:19Speaker 3: be okay. Christian Haynes will replace him, and we'll see
- 22:22Speaker 3: what happens. By the way, I'm giving you the week
- 22:23Speaker 3: off next week, at least next Friday off because we're
- 22:26Speaker 3: off the air next week, so we'll talk to you
- 22:27Speaker 3: in two weeks.
- 22:28Speaker 4: How's that you're up the air next week? I mean,

- 23:55Speaker 3: There's not even a close number two. There may not

- 24:00Speaker 6: I'm good. I'm one of one.
- 24:02Speaker 3: You are one of One's love you.
- 24:05Speaker 6: We love you.
- 24:05Speaker 3: That's why we have you on every week. My friend,
- 24:08Speaker 3: all right, let's get to it. Uh, we've all had
- 24:11Speaker 3: a wee, you know, five days to kind of soak
- 24:13Speaker 3: it all in. What happens. Seahawks lose and heartbreaking fashion.
- 24:18Speaker 3: We see Sam Donald throw the four interceptions, et cetera.
- 24:21Speaker 3: Some thoughts, some takeaways. A few days later, my friend.
- 24:25Speaker 6: Well, I hope everybody has has sort of moved away
- 24:29Speaker 6: from the panic about Sam Darnold because I actually think
- 24:34Speaker 6: that while that game certainly showed sort of the worst
- 24:40Speaker 6: possible performance he can have, and I do think that
- 24:43Speaker 6: there are issues when he gets under pressure, they played
- 24:47Speaker 6: so well that, I mean, even with the four interceptions,
- 24:51Speaker 6: if not for one of the best punts I've ever seen,
- 24:55Speaker 6: I really think that the Seahawks win that game. So
- 24:59Speaker 6: I know, I know that the temptation was to say,
- 25:02Speaker 6: oh man, I know that the temptation is to feel like, man,
- 25:06Speaker 6: the clock strikes midnight and he's gonna turning to a pumpkin.
- 25:09Speaker 6: But I really think that you survived or showed that
- 25:13Speaker 6: you're right there with one of the very best teams
- 25:15Speaker 6: in the NFL, even when he had one of his
- 25:17Speaker 6: worst games. I don't think he's going to play that
- 25:19Speaker 6: bad again for the Seahawks this year.
- 25:20Speaker 1: No.
- 25:21Speaker 3: We just had great Cosell on a moment ago and
- 25:22Speaker 3: he kind of walked through it. There's a couple of
- 25:24Speaker 3: plays where you know, play design was bad in the
- 25:27Speaker 3: red zone and you know the one, I mean the
- 25:30Speaker 3: one play Bradford just got blown up. He missed a
- 25:33Speaker 3: stunt and ends up going over to help Lucas who
- 25:35Speaker 3: didn't need help. And you know, there was things like
- 25:37Speaker 3: that that happened along the way, and I chalk it
- 25:40Speaker 3: up to two really good teams that went toe to toe.
- 25:41Speaker 6: Danny.
- 25:42Speaker 3: To be honest with you, I mean, it's it's weird
- 25:43Speaker 3: we come with the NFL is about results. We all
- 25:45Speaker 3: get that, but like there's a lot of things in
- 25:48Speaker 3: that game that could have happened when we come away going,
- 25:50Speaker 3: oh boy, maybe they're not as close as we thought
- 25:52Speaker 3: they were. I came away, and I think most people
- 25:54Speaker 3: in this market came away pretty positive. One was all
- 25:56Speaker 3: said and done.
- 25:57Speaker 6: Yeah, that's the way I feel that in those sort
- 26:00Speaker 6: of showdowns you can have results. I remember watching when
- 26:05Speaker 6: the Seahawks played the forty nine ers on Thanksgiving a
- 26:07Speaker 6: couple of years ago. You saw this dramatic demonstration of Okay,
- 26:11Speaker 6: Seahawks aren't in the same category, they're not in the
- 26:13Speaker 6: same class. Ye, this wasn't one of those games at all,
- 26:18Speaker 6: and I recognize. I think there's still some uncertainty. Is
- 26:21Speaker 6: Sam Darnald your long term quarterback. I'm not sure about that.
- 26:25Speaker 6: I think it's more likely now than I did at
- 26:28Speaker 6: the beginning of the season, because I think he's played
- 26:30Speaker 6: really well for most of the year. When he is
- 26:33Speaker 6: under pressure, he can tend to make some bad decisions.
- 26:37Speaker 6: We certainly saw two of those, the one where he
- 26:40Speaker 6: threw off his back foot and the other jump pass.
- 26:42Speaker 6: Those were two terrible decisions made under pressure. But there's
- 26:46Speaker 6: nothing from that game that makes me feel like, oh man,
- 26:49Speaker 6: like the Seahawks just they might make the playoffs this year,
- 26:53Speaker 6: but that's that's as much as they can expect. They
- 26:56Speaker 6: played really well, and that punt they must win if
- 26:59Speaker 6: not for that stupid punt. That's stupid. Hit the ground
- 27:04Speaker 6: at the two. Was it six inches from hitting the pilon?
- 27:08Speaker 6: It hits the pilon, It comes out to the twenty.
- 27:10Speaker 6: Stupid freaking punch.
- 27:12Speaker 3: And the funny thing is like the officials kind of
- 27:14Speaker 3: gave Seattle a break because they could have put it
- 27:16Speaker 3: on the one inch line, like they put it on
- 27:18Speaker 3: the half yard line. I mean, it literally was on
- 27:20Speaker 3: the half inch line. It's it's might be more difficult
- 27:24Speaker 3: than a hole in one, Like you could kick that
- 27:26Speaker 3: same punt a hundred times and probably never ever have
- 27:30Speaker 3: that same result. You could hit a golf ball if
- 27:32Speaker 3: that was a golf hole, and you could probably roll
- 27:35Speaker 3: it in there more often from one hundred from the
- 27:37Speaker 3: same I mean, it's just that was what was remarkable
- 27:39Speaker 3: about it.
- 27:40Speaker 6: Yeah, it was. It was. It was the best worst
- 27:43Speaker 6: punt I've ever seen. Yeah, most impressive, most devastating, Like,
- 27:48Speaker 6: how the hell did that happen? I didn't think of
- 27:50Speaker 6: it until now, but you really could have you could
- 27:53Speaker 6: have had almost the entire ball in the end zone
- 27:56Speaker 6: and just the nose boop over the end of it.
- 27:59Speaker 6: Hugh Miller jack Mount Sie High School.
- 28:01Speaker 3: Oh God, oh god, Well did we just go back
- 28:04Speaker 3: to the Notre Dame game? Is that what we just did?
- 28:08Speaker 6: It's still it's still one of my favorite things that
- 28:11Speaker 6: anyone in Seattle sports radio has ever done, which was
- 28:15Speaker 6: you getting out of tire Jack to demonstrate quite accurately
- 28:19Speaker 6: the distortion that camera angles can by.
- 28:23Speaker 3: Was it Chris Polk? Is that who the running back was?
- 28:26Speaker 6: That's exactly what it was. It was two thousand and nine,
- 28:28Speaker 6: and it was right before because I went to that
- 28:30Speaker 6: game at Notre Dame and then I drove with Condoda
- 28:33Speaker 6: to Indianapolis, which is where the Seahawks were playing in
- 28:36Speaker 6: More's year.
- 28:38Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 28:39Speaker 3: What a weekend? What a week What a weekend? What
- 28:41Speaker 3: a weekend? Buddy?
- 28:43Speaker 7: Like?
- 28:44Speaker 3: Does it get much better than that? Holy cow.
- 28:49Speaker 6: Jumada. When Condoda went to ask him a question in
- 28:52Speaker 6: the locker room, actress, they said, Bob, my name is Bob.
- 28:55Speaker 6: I worked for the Seattle It doesn't matter who you are,
- 28:58Speaker 6: just asked you a question.
- 29:00Speaker 3: God, all right, this is why I love having Daniel
- 29:02Speaker 3: brought to you by the Northwest Halling Systems from Forklost
- 29:04Speaker 3: to Palerask. Ever's the Loland Dock equipment. We sell, rent

- 29:09Speaker 3: a NWHS dot com or give us a call for
- 29:10Speaker 3: two five zero five hundred. Listen there, I gotta go
- 29:15Speaker 3: down this road. There was there was some really really
- 29:19Speaker 3: unlikable Mariner teams about that same time. Any team that
- 29:22Speaker 3: had Richie sexon and what was that dufist that played
- 29:26Speaker 3: first base, Chris uh Casey Kotchman, you know.
- 29:30Speaker 6: Was not likable was pretty I.
- 29:33Speaker 3: Mean, but Dard was one of the biggest asses ever.
- 29:36Speaker 3: I mean, there were some really really unlikable Mariners teams
- 29:40Speaker 3: in that era. Just everything about him was unlikable. I'm
- 29:43Speaker 3: not sure if there was a more unlikable team than
- 29:46Speaker 3: the nine Seahawks with if you have TJ that would
- 29:49Speaker 3: have been our guy would have been there. Dion Branch
- 29:51Speaker 3: was still there right more as the coach. Let's just
- 29:55Speaker 3: go through the list. What a miserable group of whop
- 29:57Speaker 3: and you.
- 29:57Speaker 6: Know the the huge contract, Yeah, the black card. Yeah,
- 30:04Speaker 6: there was there were some tough things. Now, I stayed
- 30:07Speaker 6: friends with Aaron, and I think Aaron, He's here the
- 30:09Speaker 6: world a lot differently now. But yeah, that was that
- 30:13Speaker 6: was a tough year. In terms of personalities.
- 30:15Speaker 3: My favorite guy was Lawrence Jackson low jack Uh. He
- 30:19Speaker 3: from USC who Pete didn't want on his team when
- 30:22Speaker 3: he got there, and he couldn't understand why is because
- 30:24Speaker 3: you suck, That's why Pete didn't. He barely tolerated you
- 30:27Speaker 3: in college. Fella like I, oh my god, he I've
- 30:30Speaker 3: never had never sin never before, never since. I'm trying
- 30:34Speaker 3: to think maybe I had a problem. Oh yeah, you
- 30:36Speaker 3: b y, you had a problem at by you. But
- 30:38Speaker 3: that's b Yu. That's different. That team between Dion Branch
- 30:43Speaker 3: and Lawrence Jackson, guys that actually listened to the radio,
- 30:47Speaker 3: watched the TV shows, our postgame shows, and all had
- 30:51Speaker 3: a problem with everything that was said about them. I
- 30:53Speaker 3: Dion Branch didn't like me, he said some stuff on
- 30:56Speaker 3: the air, and then Lawrence Jackson came up to me
- 31:00Speaker 3: in the back of the Seahawks meeting room, Danny and
- 31:03Speaker 3: was like something about like I had said something about
- 31:06Speaker 3: him not performing up to you know, being a first
- 31:09Speaker 3: round pick and something. And I think it was when
- 31:11Speaker 3: right when Pete got highed to go. I wonder if
- 31:12Speaker 3: he's going to keep this guy around even though he's there,
- 31:14Speaker 3: because he didn't he was a first round defensive end
- 31:16Speaker 3: that didn't get sacks. Danny, and he came up and
- 31:18Speaker 3: was like, in my face, I'm like, buddy, if you're
- 31:20Speaker 3: worried about me, you got bigger problems. Fella. Like what
- 31:23Speaker 3: an unlikable group of people?
- 31:25Speaker 6: Yeah? That that is one of the telling signs is
- 31:28Speaker 6: when guys tend to fixate on the criticism that they're receiving. Yep,
- 31:33Speaker 6: it's because they don't they don't know how to handle
- 31:38Speaker 6: they don't know how to handle that sort of scrutiny
- 31:41Speaker 6: because if you're fixated on what people are saying, like,
- 31:44Speaker 6: that's really one of the least demanding parts of being
- 31:48Speaker 6: a professional football player. And usually you're trying to find
- 31:52Speaker 6: an outlet for the emotions that come from not being
- 31:54Speaker 6: able to do the job. And there are times that
- 31:57Speaker 6: guys get mad for good reasons.
- 32:00Speaker 4: Right or you're able to work through them.
- 32:02Speaker 6: But when it's people just just just if if you're
- 32:05Speaker 6: spending a ton of energy in that direction, it usually
- 32:09Speaker 6: does not point to positive things going in your future.
- 32:14Speaker 3: I'm just thinking about TJ, who's yourself? I mean, yeah,
- 32:16Speaker 3: condona just a very threatening and confrontational guy. That's that's
- 32:21Speaker 3: really the guy you want to just go rip on.
- 32:24Speaker 6: Like the the nicest, most professional guy. And then I
- 32:28Speaker 6: remember that TJ had printed out huge stats to read
- 32:32Speaker 6: them on that.
- 32:34Speaker 8: Yeah, there were there were some crazy days that That
- 32:38Speaker 8: might have been the craziest day in Seattle sports radio
- 32:41Speaker 8: history was when the Wide Receivers show turned into.
- 32:46Speaker 6: Complaints and a dissection on the air of what two
- 32:50Speaker 6: man coverage was.
- 32:51Speaker 4: It was.
- 32:51Speaker 6: It was quite incredible.
- 32:53Speaker 3: Uh so good TJ. You're just a piece, all right,
- 32:59Speaker 3: ro quick frou of all the things that happened this week.
- 33:01Speaker 3: Just a quick thought on Josh Naylor resigning. It's a
- 33:03Speaker 3: nice sign for the Mariners.
- 33:05Speaker 6: It was a huge thing. And look, they needed to
- 33:09Speaker 6: resign him. And to me, what says more than anything
- 33:13Speaker 6: else was this was not a wait and see what
- 33:15Speaker 6: the market is. This was not a he's a he's
- 33:18Speaker 6: a piece we'd like to have back and we'll see
- 33:21Speaker 6: how things go. This was a we're elbowing our way
- 33:24Speaker 6: to the front of the line. We want him, and
- 33:26Speaker 6: he's going to stay a Mariner. And I don't. I
- 33:30Speaker 6: don't want to go I don't want to fall over
- 33:32Speaker 6: myself complimenting the Mariners, because that's what they should have done.
- 33:35Speaker 6: That's what a responsible baseball team does. Like Chris Rock says, like,
- 33:39Speaker 6: you don't get credit for taking care of your kids,
- 33:41Speaker 6: like you're supposed to take care of your kids. Don't
- 33:43Speaker 6: get credit for staying. You're supposed to keep a guy
- 33:46Speaker 6: like that. He's a contact hitter in the middle of
- 33:49Speaker 6: the order in a lineup that strikes out a time,
- 33:51Speaker 6: and he's a guy that liked hitting in Seattle. And
- 33:54Speaker 6: I'm just really grateful that the Mariners did exactly what
- 33:57Speaker 6: they should do. That carry Depoto was the budget that
- 34:01Speaker 6: he needs to go elbow his way to the front
- 34:03Speaker 6: of the line and retain a guy. And I hope
- 34:06Speaker 6: they're not done, but I was just I was really
- 34:08Speaker 6: encouraged by that.
- 34:09Speaker 3: I was to you and I share the same thought.
- 34:11Speaker 3: It's yes, you should resign them. It's a good sign.
- 34:16Speaker 3: If you didn't, it would have been catastrophic. But I'm
- 34:18Speaker 3: not going to quite you know, throw too many bouquets
- 34:21Speaker 3: your way just yet, because you had to do that,
- 34:23Speaker 3: and they did do that, so good for them. Tell
- 34:25Speaker 3: folks about the day apostrophe, sir.
- 34:28Speaker 6: It does come out of New York. Once a week.
- 34:30Speaker 6: You go to Danny O'Neil dot com. You enter your
- 34:33Speaker 6: email address, and then I send you emails each and
- 34:36Speaker 6: every week, sometimes with inane references to pass Seahawks teams
- 34:40Speaker 6: like the twenty nineteen. Maybe I will look at the
- 34:42Speaker 6: least likable teams that I've ever been around. Sean Diggins
- 34:46Speaker 6: makes that list. Oh well, Sean sehn Diickins is on
- 34:49Speaker 6: that list.
- 34:50Speaker 3: That sounds fun. Oh, Sean, yes, right, it.
- 34:56Speaker 6: Might be the most miserable dude that I've ever been around.
- 34:59Speaker 6: It's possible that Sean Figgins is the most miserable pro
- 35:02Speaker 6: athlete that I've ever been around. Rick Brunson comes close,
- 35:05Speaker 6: but I think it might be sicking.
- 35:07Speaker 3: Shoan Figgins is right there. Yeah, he'd be right up
- 35:09Speaker 3: there with the rest of them. All right, I'll look
- 35:11Speaker 3: forward to that. We're off Friday next week. Got an
- 35:14Speaker 3: NFL game on, So I'll talk to you two weeks time.
- 35:15Speaker 3: My friend, have a great Thanksgiving you too. That's Danny O'Neill.

- 36:14Speaker 3: from behind, get the win in the third period late
- 36:16Speaker 3: to a wait to go goal by Jayden Schwartz to
- 36:20Speaker 3: eighteen to go. I think it was Jayden short scored
- 36:23Speaker 3: so in the final three minutes held on for the win.
- 36:25Speaker 3: Nice important two points or one and one Now in
- 36:27Speaker 3: the four game road trip next week. Great comeback next

- 36:36Speaker 3: three thirty pre game Mike Benton will be on the
- 36:40Speaker 3: pre game wonder if he's here. Is it the thirty
- 36:42Speaker 3: two or is he at? I wonder. I would assume here, okay,
- 36:45Speaker 3: but I don't know for sure. And they'll get you
- 36:47Speaker 3: going then early game on Sunday, right after the Seahawks
- 36:50Speaker 3: are over. Two o'clock start for the Islanders and the

- 36:56Speaker 3: k Actually, tomorrow's game would be a nine to fifty games. Yes,
- 37:01Speaker 3: it is on nine to fifteen because we have a
- 37:02Speaker 3: Husky game. Correct. Two other quick notes from hockey. First
- 37:06Speaker 3: of all, you heard it in the Sarah with finally
- 37:09Speaker 3: something relevant Sarah Spain thing Sale Torrent to PWHL team
- 37:13Speaker 3: starts tonight. First game is up in Vancouver against the
- 37:16Speaker 3: Golden Eyes. The two expansion teams will get going there
- 37:18Speaker 3: at the P and E Pathific Colisseum up there. Their
- 37:21Speaker 3: first home game for the Torrent is a week from today,
- 37:24Speaker 3: Black Friday at Climate Pledge Arena. Okay, And just a
- 37:28Speaker 3: cool note, I think this is awesome because I got
- 37:31Speaker 3: to know the kid, a little bit kid young man,
- 37:33Speaker 3: a little bit Thomas Millich, who was a goaltender for
- 37:36Speaker 3: the Sale Thunmbers and they won the title a couple
- 37:37Speaker 3: three years ago. Yeah, got passed over in the draft
- 37:41Speaker 3: two times before. Finally he got drafted as a nineteen
- 37:43Speaker 3: year old. And when he did, he got picked in
- 37:46Speaker 3: the fifth round by the Winnipeg Jets only because they
- 37:50Speaker 3: won the title. The Seattle did and he went to
- 37:52Speaker 3: I think he liked Canada. The World Junior Championship too,
- 37:54Speaker 3: or at least a silver one. He meddled some way,
- 37:57Speaker 3: had a great year, but he was too small, got
- 38:00Speaker 3: drafted late, spent some time in the East Coast League
- 38:02Speaker 3: the jungle. That's where people like Mike Benton go and
- 38:05Speaker 3: hang out and hone their craft. Absolutely, I say that
- 38:08Speaker 3: if you haven't been in the jungle, you haven't been anywhere. Baby.
- 38:10Speaker 3: He's in the East Coast League and in the American League.
- 38:13Speaker 3: He got called up today by Winnipeg. He'll make his
- 38:15Speaker 3: NHL debut sometime soon, which is a really cool story. Yeah,
- 38:18Speaker 3: a good netminder, worked his ass off and kind of
- 38:21Speaker 3: a long shot to make it. Thomas Hellibuck put on
- 38:24Speaker 3: the injured list today. Connor Hellibuck, Connor Hellibuk, What did
- 38:27Speaker 3: I say? Thomas Thomas thirty two bar and grill to
- 38:30Speaker 3: Morley Captain tells me they're at the thirty two.
- 38:32Speaker 1: Okay, that means he's hungry. It does, it really does.
- 38:35Speaker 3: Much like Thomas Millich, the captain is an alum of
- 38:39Speaker 3: the Jungle the East Coast Hockey League, so good for him.
- 38:42Speaker 3: Kind of like at some point NHL team's got to
- 38:44Speaker 3: have to start figuring stuff out. Okay, because Dustin Wolf
- 38:49Speaker 3: and only Hutson had a great year last year. Celebrating
- 38:51Speaker 3: all that, Dustin wolf could have easily been the Rookie
- 38:54Speaker 3: of the Year in the NHL last year. Has been
- 38:55Speaker 3: great this year though his team sucks. His team does. Yes,
- 38:59Speaker 3: I don't put a lot on that. I know. I
- 39:01Speaker 3: know what I saw last year. Dustin Wolfe's good goal
- 39:04Speaker 3: tend very good and he got drafted late because wait
- 39:06Speaker 3: wait for it, he was also short. Yeah, get out
- 39:09Speaker 3: of Everett Silver Tips.
- 39:10Speaker 1: I mean, look at one of the best goalies in
- 39:11Speaker 1: the league that is generating a lot of trade interest.
- 39:14Speaker 1: YUC Sorrows is below six feet tall, yes, or he
- 39:17Speaker 1: six feet exactly?
- 39:17Speaker 3: I think, So what's the commercial he does? No no goals,
- 39:21Speaker 3: no goals, no goals. You don't have financial goals juice,
- 39:25Speaker 3: no goal goals, no goals. So good lead into a juice.
- 39:31Speaker 3: That's a good point. All right, that's it for the
- 39:33Speaker 3: daily power play.
- 39:35Speaker 6: Uh.
- 39:35Speaker 3: The Kracking are the Tiber home that I don't wonder
- 39:37Speaker 3: if they're home tonight? There go go go check them out.
- 39:40Speaker 3: All right, it's go funding dubers. Well, there's no hockey
- 39:43Speaker 3: this weekend, baby, because we got the Krackerer out of town. Right,
- 39:45Speaker 3: PWHL team out of town? What's today today? The twenty first? Yeah,
- 39:49Speaker 3: they're at home. Yeah, let's go Victoria tonight. All and
- 39:53Speaker 3: our favorite team is in town tomorrow now to Showere Center, Regina.
- 39:57Speaker 3: Oh god, the Regi Pats, Regiana Pats who played there
- 40:03Speaker 3: Berkele Katto, he played Spokane Connor Bdard Convent Dre and
- 40:07Speaker 3: you know who his teammate was, Ryker Evans. There you go, Regina.
- 40:11Speaker 3: They got Victoria tonight, Regina tomorrow. Go out and check
- 40:13Speaker 3: out the t Birds out of show Where Center. Go
- 40:15Speaker 3: support those guys as well. Why do I think seea
- 40:19Speaker 3: how's a guy from Regina on their system? Oh you
- 40:22Speaker 3: said evens No, but somebody there right now? I probably wrong.
- 40:25Speaker 3: I don't know. Okay, we're good. Uh, Robber angs standing
- 40:28Speaker 3: by it. We'll talk USC Oregon and all the other
- 40:31Speaker 3: big games this weekend in college football coming up next.
- 40:36Speaker 2: Now from the Star Rentals Sports to Jordan ninety three
- 40:39Speaker 2: point three k j r FM sports headlines.
- 40:42Speaker 3: And that I was back to by Frostbrew cors. I
- 40:44Speaker 3: choose chill cracking winners last night in Chicago, three goal
- 40:46Speaker 3: third period, three to the final over the Blackhawks. Next

- 40:57Speaker 3: are playing tomorrow afternoon against the UCLA Bruin down in
- 41:00Speaker 3: the Rose Bowl in Pasadena. Right here on niney three
- 41:03Speaker 3: point three KJR F M Koog's taking on JMU ten
- 41:06Speaker 3: o'clock in the morning. Try to provide a little bit
- 41:08Speaker 3: of a spoiler. I don't think JMU has much of
- 41:10Speaker 3: a chance for the college football playoff. They think they do.
- 41:12Speaker 3: Should be a fun game the way we go. Seahawks
- 41:15Speaker 3: injury report, The final one is out officially, Tory Horton out,
- 41:19Speaker 3: Tyrese Knight out questionable, Ernest Jones, Robbie Oots, Kenneth Walker
- 41:25Speaker 3: and Gray Zabel. Walker's a new injury limited participation with
- 41:28Speaker 3: a glut injury. Zabel listed as questionable, which is good news.
- 41:31Speaker 3: If nothing Elseley Walker is maintenance related. Okay, good to
- 41:34Speaker 3: hear and Isabel, that's just good news. Bigger picture probably
- 41:38Speaker 3: don't know. Yes play. Okay, let's see what else we
- 41:41Speaker 3: got going on. PMHL season starts to night Torrent's first
- 41:43Speaker 3: game is there. That's good enough for Rob Rang to

- 42:07Speaker 3: hour of the show and getting ready for a huge weekend.
- 42:10Speaker 3: I mean a massive weekend in college football, and that

- 42:16Speaker 3: foxsports dot Com. He's our draft insider. You'll hear him
- 42:19Speaker 3: a lot in the spring, of course, leading up to
- 42:21Speaker 3: the draft. Also happens to work for the BC Lions. Condolences, Rob,
- 42:26Speaker 3: I know that you guys are hoping to get to
- 42:27Speaker 3: the Great Cup fell a little short, but nice season
- 42:29Speaker 3: anyway by BC. But Rob joins his courtesy at for
- 42:32Speaker 3: Elli's Pizza Proud to announce the launch of their toy
- 42:35Speaker 3: and coat donation drive and support of Santa's Castle that

- 43:00Speaker 3: way for locations all located in the South Sound. Great pizza,
- 43:03Speaker 3: but even better in the community. We thank them for that. Hi, Rob,
- 43:06Speaker 3: how are you.
- 43:08Speaker 5: I'm doing very well.
- 43:10Speaker 3: I'm good. I'm good. We got a weekend to talk about,
- 43:13Speaker 3: we got names to talk about as well. I want
- 43:16Speaker 3: to I want to do this if I can. At first,
- 43:19Speaker 3: I will get to some games in a second. But
- 43:22Speaker 3: one of the things that that is going to be
- 43:25Speaker 3: interesting this year is you know who has the number one?
- 43:27Speaker 3: Pick Sea actually taking on one to nine Tennessee this weekend.
- 43:30Speaker 3: And that's a team that's frankly, you know, I'm not
- 43:34Speaker 3: sure about uh, they're bad, but they already have a
- 43:37Speaker 3: quarterback they draft at number one that you know overall
- 43:40Speaker 3: last year in cam Ward, quarterbacks are always talked about
- 43:42Speaker 3: the top of a draft. The quarterbacks in this year's draft,
- 43:47Speaker 3: this year's quarterbacks, how would you describe them? And I
- 43:51Speaker 3: guess I don't know if they're led by Mendoza out
- 43:53Speaker 3: of Indiana, but how would you describe the quarterbacks in
- 43:55Speaker 3: this year's draft?
- 43:58Speaker 5: Frankly disappointing, you know. And there was so much hype
- 44:01Speaker 5: about this year's quarterback class, you know, starting off with
- 44:04Speaker 5: with Arch Manning, you know, which was a little bit
- 44:07Speaker 5: premature just because of the last name and the flashes
- 44:10Speaker 5: that we had seen a year ago. But you know,
- 44:13Speaker 5: I think it's a pretty underwhelming class overall. I mean,
- 44:17Speaker 5: certainly Fernando Menoza for Indiana. I mean, the statistics are remarkable,
- 44:23Speaker 5: but when you really watch him on Tapian, there's a
- 44:26Speaker 5: lot of the throws that he has been asked to
- 44:28Speaker 5: make just don't translate that well to the NFL. He's
- 44:32Speaker 5: got a good arm, not an elite arm, he's got
- 44:35Speaker 5: good mobility, and he is a leader, but he's kind
- 44:38Speaker 5: of a quiet, you know, soft spoken kind of a guy,
- 44:41Speaker 5: and so there's there's concerns about him as a as
- 44:45Speaker 5: a as a quarterbacks that can really take a team
- 44:47Speaker 5: over the top. And that's of course what you're looking
- 44:49Speaker 5: for at number one overall. And I think that Frankly
- 44:53Speaker 5: saw the same same type of situation a year ago.
- 44:57Speaker 5: Cam Ward, of course why ends up jumping all the
- 45:00Speaker 5: way to number one overall, But I mean he played
- 45:02Speaker 5: such a backyard style of football. The Saks are going
- 45:05Speaker 5: to see it up close and personal, of course this weekend,
- 45:09Speaker 5: and that hasn't translated very well to the NFL. He
- 45:12Speaker 5: got six touchdowns in the first ten games, six interceptions
- 45:15Speaker 5: the first ten games. It has taken more sacks, and
- 45:18Speaker 5: a lot of these sacks are on him, not just
- 45:20Speaker 5: on his offensive line, but he's taking more sacks than
- 45:23Speaker 5: anybody else in the NFL. Leads the NFL in fumbles,
- 45:27Speaker 5: you know, with eight. So again, I think there's there's
- 45:31Speaker 5: some teams out there that might normally be thinking about
- 45:35Speaker 5: gaining a quarterback create Bland Brown's New York Jets among them,
- 45:40Speaker 5: that are now a little bit gunshy, I think at
- 45:42Speaker 5: the quarterback position because again we just we're seeing underclassmen
- 45:46Speaker 5: are creating some buzz Tys Simpson Alabama, Dante More at Oregon,
- 45:50Speaker 5: but when you really break them down on tape there,
- 45:53Speaker 5: you know, you see flashes, but you don't see a
- 45:55Speaker 5: guy who is definitely, you know, a future NFL signal
- 45:59Speaker 5: called that. As a general manager, you'd be willing to
- 46:02Speaker 5: put your job on the line for. So the need
- 46:05Speaker 5: is so strong that some teams are going to just
- 46:07Speaker 5: roll the dice in the first round. But at the
- 46:10Speaker 5: same time, and this is not a quarterback class that
- 46:12Speaker 5: I would be willing to take my reputation on.
- 46:15Speaker 3: Yeah, I think. And that leads us in Rob Brank
- 46:17Speaker 3: joinings Chrusy froespizzafroizpizza dot com. That leads us into the
- 46:20Speaker 3: games this weekend. Let's start with Missouri Oklahoma. John Mattier
- 46:23Speaker 3: got all the headlines in the offseason for the Sooners.
- 46:26Speaker 3: I mean, to me, has been let I mean, I
- 46:28Speaker 3: know they're doing well, the ranked number eight, but that's fine.
- 46:31Speaker 3: You look at the numbers, they're not there. I mean
- 46:34Speaker 3: the stars on the Sooners team. If I'm not mistaken
- 46:36Speaker 3: or a couple of guys on the defensive line like
- 46:38Speaker 3: Grayson Halton, Taylor Wine are Mason Thomas. Same thing with
- 46:42Speaker 3: the Tigers. They got some dudes on the defensive line.
- 46:44Speaker 3: I'm assuming that's where the star power is in that.
- 46:47Speaker 5: Game, no question about it. I mean, just real quickly
- 46:50Speaker 5: on Dahnmetier, I mean, he is an intriguing guy. I mean,
- 46:53Speaker 5: there's no doubt about it. I mean, but the statistics
- 46:55Speaker 5: this year are terrible when you comparison to what he
- 46:59Speaker 5: did a year ago in Washington State. I mean considering
- 47:03Speaker 5: that as a passer and as a runner combined, he
- 47:05Speaker 5: had forty four touchdowns, you know, a year ago, and
- 47:09Speaker 5: this season, you know, I think he has He's thrown
- 47:13Speaker 5: for eight, you know. I mean, it just is a
- 47:16Speaker 5: far cry from what he did a year though. That said,
- 47:19Speaker 5: you know, he does have that frame, six foot one
- 47:21Speaker 5: turning twenty four pounds. I mean, he is just a
- 47:23Speaker 5: rock solid build. He's got that dual threadabilding and I
- 47:27Speaker 5: was mentioned before, what Mendoza. Some people are kind of
- 47:30Speaker 5: turned off by his kind of quiet, calm demeanor. Materier,
- 47:33Speaker 5: on the other hand, it does have a little bit
- 47:35Speaker 5: of charisma to him, and some scouts that are going
- 47:37Speaker 5: through Norman are really intrigued by what he offers in
- 47:41Speaker 5: that way. That said, still, I think we're talking about
- 47:44Speaker 5: a Day two selection rather than a top five selection,
- 47:47Speaker 5: the way that a lot of people were, you know,
- 47:50Speaker 5: kind of projecting him as based off the success he
- 47:52Speaker 5: had a Washington And you're absolutely writing in this particular
- 47:55Speaker 5: game Missouri at Oklahoma, the talent is all along the
- 48:01Speaker 5: lions screams for both teams. Oklahoma's got a lot of
- 48:03Speaker 5: young talent along their offensive line, so I'm not focusing
- 48:07Speaker 5: more on Missouri's offensive line and then the defensive line
- 48:11Speaker 5: for both teams. But for Missouri. You know, we've talked
- 48:14Speaker 5: before about the University of Utah and their two tackles
- 48:18Speaker 5: Spencer Fano and Caleb Lamu, who are probably the best
- 48:22Speaker 5: offensive tackles number one two, uh, you know, bookend tackles
- 48:26Speaker 5: and all of college football. But at the same time,
- 48:29Speaker 5: Missouri is no joke.
- 48:30Speaker 6: There.
- 48:30Speaker 5: There's left tackle Caden Green. He's just a baby. I mean,
- 48:34Speaker 5: he just turned literally turned twenty one just this week,
- 48:37Speaker 5: but he is. He's a former big timer crew who
- 48:40Speaker 5: actually started his college career at Oklahoma. So this is uh,
- 48:44Speaker 5: you know, kind of a you know, a game that
- 48:47Speaker 5: he is certainly going to be looking to produce do
- 48:50Speaker 5: well against for his former team, the Sooners. But he
- 48:54Speaker 5: played left guard as a true freshman at Oklahoma, came
- 48:58Speaker 5: to Missouri a year ago, moved to left state at
- 49:01Speaker 5: left guard, and then has moved outside to left tackle
- 49:04Speaker 5: this year. He's six foot five, he's three hundred and
- 49:06Speaker 5: twenty four pounds, he's got long arms, he plays his
- 49:09Speaker 5: excellent knee band and natural power. Still just a really
- 49:13Speaker 5: young player, but you can see that he is a
- 49:15Speaker 5: player that his best football is ahead of and if
- 49:17Speaker 5: he were to come out early, even as just a
- 49:19Speaker 5: right shirt sophomore, he's got future. You know, he's got
- 49:22Speaker 5: first round pick all over him. And then on the
- 49:25Speaker 5: right side, you've got Keegan Tross, a right tackle who
- 49:28Speaker 5: I personally think might be better off moving inside to
- 49:31Speaker 5: guard in the NFL. He's an older player. This is
- 49:35Speaker 5: going to be a theme we're gonna be talking about
- 49:36Speaker 5: all day long today, and is that he's a guy
- 49:38Speaker 5: who's transferred. In this case, he's transferred three times, actually
- 49:43Speaker 5: four times, Morgan State, Indiana State, Wake Forest, and now
- 49:47Speaker 5: this past season at Missouri, six foot four, three hundred
- 49:51Speaker 5: and sixteen pounds. He's really creative guy. He's got good
- 49:55Speaker 5: upper body strength, he's just savvy as you expect of
- 49:58Speaker 5: a player who is from a playing it feels like
- 50:01Speaker 5: for a decade at the college level. He's going to
- 50:03Speaker 5: be twenty five years old. He turns twenty five the
- 50:06Speaker 5: week before the draft, and that's going to push him
- 50:08Speaker 5: down the board a little bit. But for my money,
- 50:11Speaker 5: this is the guy that you can kind of get
- 50:12Speaker 5: with a discount because of his age. And I still
- 50:15Speaker 5: think screens NFL starter right out of the box. To me,
- 50:20Speaker 5: he's one of those kind of guys you can probably
- 50:22Speaker 5: steal in like the third round, even though the tape
- 50:24Speaker 5: says he should be a second round pick. So again,
- 50:26Speaker 5: there's some terrific players for the offensive line for Missouri,
- 50:31Speaker 5: but defensive line, I'm kind of, you know, bearing the lead,
- 50:34Speaker 5: so to speak. The defensive line is really where it's
- 50:37Speaker 5: at for Missouri.
- 50:38Speaker 6: You know.
- 50:38Speaker 5: And it's funny because you know, as you all know,
- 50:41Speaker 5: I've been looking at high school here and so the
- 50:45Speaker 5: kids like to say at six to seven, all I
- 50:47Speaker 5: hear all day long, sixty seven. Well it's seven eighty
- 50:49Speaker 5: nine at Missouri. When it comes to the defensive line,
- 50:52Speaker 5: they are just absolutely loaded. Number seven, just to go
- 50:55Speaker 5: in numerical order, the big defensive tackle, Chris McClellan six
- 50:59Speaker 5: foot four, three d and twenty three pounds, and he's
- 51:02Speaker 5: just he's almost a combination of you know, Leonard Williams,
- 51:07Speaker 5: and that's Leonard Williams is It's harder to compare anybody
- 51:10Speaker 5: to LARRD Williams, but just his size, he's got such
- 51:14Speaker 5: broad shoulders and long arm. And then it was the physicality,
- 51:19Speaker 5: the toughness of a Jaron Reed. Just a really good
- 51:22Speaker 5: player that doesn't have a lot of great statistics, but
- 51:25Speaker 5: he is a good football player inside that. I think
- 51:28Speaker 5: he's going to be probably a mid round selection because
- 51:31Speaker 5: the two edge rushers opposite him are the ones getting
- 51:34Speaker 5: all the attention. Number eight, Damon Wilson is the speedier
- 51:38Speaker 5: edge rusher of the bunch. He's kind of pass for
- 51:41Speaker 5: a specialist and he played at Georgia a year ago.
- 51:45Speaker 5: You mentioned all these transfers. Chris McClellan, number seven, the
- 51:48Speaker 5: guy before he played at Florida transferred over. Damon Wilson,
- 51:52Speaker 5: the edge rusher that's speedy. He played at Georgia a
- 51:56Speaker 5: year ago, and then Zion Young on the opposite a
- 52:00Speaker 5: number nine. It's probably my favorite player of the bunch,
- 52:03Speaker 5: just because of the physicality and the length that he offers.
- 52:07Speaker 6: He is long and it looks lean.
- 52:11Speaker 5: But he plays with great power at the point of attack,
- 52:14Speaker 5: really strings out runs very nicely. Not necessarily as good
- 52:18Speaker 5: of a pass rusher, but at the same time he
- 52:20Speaker 5: is very good as a run defender. This makes big
- 52:24Speaker 5: plays at big moments. Reminds me a little bit of
- 52:26Speaker 5: former Seahawk, former number one overall pick Todeveon Clowney. I
- 52:29Speaker 5: don't think the Zion Young is going to wind up
- 52:30Speaker 5: being a first round selection, but at the top of
- 52:33Speaker 5: the second round, maybe mid point second round. He is
- 52:36Speaker 5: the guy that just plays the game the way you're
- 52:38Speaker 5: supposed to play it.
- 52:40Speaker 3: Is Rob Raank joining us courtesy of Farelli's Pizza. All right,
- 52:43Speaker 3: let me get to speaking to not one to bury
- 52:46Speaker 3: the lead. I mean, I think the probably the most
- 52:48Speaker 3: important game this weekend Number fifteen USC number seven Oregon
- 52:52Speaker 3: elimination game for college football playoff USC holding on to
- 52:55Speaker 3: life support. In that regard, Oregon maybe has some wiggle room,
- 52:59Speaker 3: but I kind have doubted if they lose at home.
- 53:02Speaker 3: Speaking of quarterbacks, I don't think we've talked about Jordan
- 53:04Speaker 3: Miyam a lot this year for USC. Let's start there.
- 53:08Speaker 5: Well, it's interesting because you mentioned the m scout with
- 53:11Speaker 5: the BC lines and so here I was thinking that
- 53:14Speaker 5: maybe I had a player because there's not a lot
- 53:17Speaker 5: of people who are focusing on the UNLV running rebels
- 53:21Speaker 5: and that's where Jordan Mavla kind of started his career.
- 53:25Speaker 5: Just the improvement that he has shown this season with
- 53:29Speaker 5: Lincoln Riley, it really is pretty remarkable. You know, he's
- 53:33Speaker 5: got eighteen to six textdown interception ratio. You saw flashes
- 53:36Speaker 5: of it back when he was at UNLV, but certainly
- 53:39Speaker 5: not the precision passing that we have seen so far
- 53:43Speaker 5: this season. He's always had the paratypical height and weight
- 53:47Speaker 5: six four two hundred and thirty pounds, and it certainly
- 53:50Speaker 5: helps when again, you have Lincoln Riley calling plays and
- 53:54Speaker 5: working with you. You know, he's a quarterback whisperer with
- 53:57Speaker 5: what he has been able to do with some of
- 53:58Speaker 5: the quarterbacks he's worked with in the past, but to
- 54:01Speaker 5: have receivers like Mackay Lemon and Jacoby Lane, it's you know, again,
- 54:08Speaker 5: I'm using some kind of grandiose comparisons here. I mentioned
- 54:11Speaker 5: Leonard Williams of Jvon Clowny, so I'll do the same
- 54:14Speaker 5: thing here with the usc as receivers. It's almost like
- 54:16Speaker 5: with the Cincinnati Bengals. Mkai Lemon playing the role of
- 54:20Speaker 5: Jamar Chase Jakobe Lane, the six foot four hundred and
- 54:23Speaker 5: ninety five pounder playing the role of T Higgins. Mkaile
- 54:27Speaker 5: Lemon is my favorite. Well, we talked about him many times.
- 54:29Speaker 5: I mean he is just electricity personified. I mean he's
- 54:32Speaker 5: got you know, eight touchdowns on the year so far,
- 54:36Speaker 5: We've got two more touchdowns. As a rusher, he is
- 54:39Speaker 5: just a dynamic after once the ball is in his hands,
- 54:42Speaker 5: he can make people miss with his ladder Jill, he
- 54:44Speaker 5: can bury his shoulder into people and break tackles that way,
- 54:49Speaker 5: and then he's got enough straight line speed to him
- 54:51Speaker 5: that he's just a dynamics right. He is the first
- 54:54Speaker 5: round pick of the bunch. My other might become that
- 54:56Speaker 5: another year, but again, he is one of those quarterback
- 55:00Speaker 5: for Oregon Donton and Moore that if a team was
- 55:02Speaker 5: willing to roll the dice on him in a first round.
- 55:05Speaker 9: Uh.
- 55:05Speaker 5: You know, you're you're going all upside and he probably
- 55:08Speaker 5: needs at least a year on the sideline before he's
- 55:11Speaker 5: ever going to be able to play in an NFL system.
- 55:13Speaker 3: Yeah, and I think I think about that. I think
- 55:14Speaker 3: about you know what Seattle has right in Jalen Milroe.
- 55:17Speaker 3: I mean, even a guy that was far more accomplished
- 55:20Speaker 3: in terms of what he did his resume in college
- 55:22Speaker 3: than Maeva or more. And that guy needs a year
- 55:25Speaker 3: plus maybe two, uh, sitting here on the sideline in Seattle.
- 55:28Speaker 3: If ever, let me ask you, this is and this
- 55:30Speaker 3: is a tough one, Nelson. This has had nothing to
- 55:32Speaker 3: do with the the world of gambling. We are sponsored
- 55:35Speaker 3: by our show is by so calm Me Casino. But
- 55:36Speaker 3: you work for CFL team. So this is strictly for
- 55:39Speaker 3: just entertainment purposes. Because I think it's going to come
- 55:43Speaker 3: down to this, who has the advantage between USC and
- 55:45Speaker 3: Oregon a quarterback USC with Maeva or the Ducks with more.
- 55:51Speaker 5: You know, that's hard because I really I think that
- 55:54Speaker 5: Dante Moore is the more physically gifted player. I feel
- 55:58Speaker 5: very strongly about that actually, But at the same time,
- 56:01Speaker 5: I just think that the play calling, the development and
- 56:04Speaker 5: the receiver talent. Uh, it puts the ball you know,
- 56:09Speaker 5: and or gives the USC a little bit of advantage.
- 56:11Speaker 5: That said, while I do agree with you that, you know,
- 56:15Speaker 5: from a betting perspective and just the winner and loser
- 56:18Speaker 5: often comes down to the quarterback. To me, and there
- 56:21Speaker 5: is no question about that, the level or the line
- 56:25Speaker 5: of scrimmage is clearly an Oregon's favor and that's why
- 56:29Speaker 5: I do think the Oregon wins this football game. Now,
- 56:32Speaker 5: you know, Oregon stubbed their toe a couple of times.
- 56:34Speaker 5: That's one of the things that is frustrating from a
- 56:37Speaker 5: talent evaluation standpoint. Really, the two best teams in college
- 56:41Speaker 5: football in terms of talent are clearly the Ohio State
- 56:44Speaker 5: Buckeyes and the Oregon Ducks. And so I just basically
- 56:48Speaker 5: you can go down Oregon's roster and virtually every single
- 56:52Speaker 5: position and Oregon has an NFL caliber draft prospect and
- 56:57Speaker 5: that is just not the case with US. See, it
- 56:59Speaker 5: is very much a Lincoln Riley kind of coach team.
- 57:02Speaker 5: If they have skilled position players, they've got some five star,
- 57:05Speaker 5: four star recruits along the offensive and defensive lines, and
- 57:08Speaker 5: even some decent statistics, but not dudes that look like
- 57:12Speaker 5: they're going to wind up being an NFL team. So again,
- 57:15Speaker 5: I do think that the quarterback advantage, just because of
- 57:19Speaker 5: the play callers and the talent around him, is probably
- 57:23Speaker 5: better for USC. I just think that Dante Moore, the
- 57:27Speaker 5: Oregon running game, and then certainly the Oregon defensive line
- 57:30Speaker 5: is going to put so much pressure on us Hedy
- 57:33Speaker 5: essentially have to score just about every single drive that
- 57:36Speaker 5: I think the Ducks ultimately feel pretty comfortable with this victory.
- 57:40Speaker 3: That should be a great game. By the way, all right,
- 57:43Speaker 3: I don't want to run out of time before I
- 57:45Speaker 3: get to this because in our pre show emails, Rob says,
- 57:49Speaker 3: and I love this term. He used the word polarizing.
- 57:52Speaker 3: Miami is playing in Virginia Tech, another elimination game. Virginia
- 57:56Speaker 3: Tech not very good. They just did hire James Franklin,
- 57:58Speaker 3: we'll see even though he's not going to be co coaching.
- 58:00Speaker 3: As that have you kind of juice for Virginia Tech
- 58:02Speaker 3: playing host number thirteen Miami. But when Rob tells me
- 58:05Speaker 3: the Hurricanes have quote some polarizing dudes, including possible first
- 58:10Speaker 3: rounders on the lines, I must ask you about who
- 58:12Speaker 3: are those polarizing dudes, and why are they polarizing?
- 58:14Speaker 5: Rop Yeah, I think that what's polarizing about them is
- 58:20Speaker 5: while they're very talented, at the same time, they're also
- 58:23Speaker 5: you know, some have some warps. I mean, we'll sort
- 58:26Speaker 5: off the quarterback spot with Carson Beck. Of course, so
- 58:29Speaker 5: we've we've all seen some of the just the just
- 58:32Speaker 5: frankly boneheaded kind of interceptions to which she throws, and
- 58:35Speaker 5: that that was the case in Georgia. It's the case
- 58:37Speaker 5: of Miami, and he threw four interceptions against Louisville and
- 58:41Speaker 5: he was like, what the heck are you doing. But
- 58:43Speaker 5: at the same time, if you want to put up
- 58:45Speaker 5: a you know, a highlight reel of some of the
- 58:47Speaker 5: best throws in all of college football this season, Carson
- 58:51Speaker 5: Beck is there. He's six foot, Folly's turning thirty pounds,
- 58:53Speaker 5: he's got a rocket for an arm. He's you know,
- 58:56Speaker 5: he's had to deal with all of the questions. You know.
- 59:01Speaker 5: The second guessing, I guess I should say for two
- 59:03Speaker 5: big time programs at Georgia and Miami, so the mental
- 59:07Speaker 5: toughness is going to be there. That maybe Fernando Mendoza,
- 59:11Speaker 5: who played at Cal before we went to Indiana, that
- 59:14Speaker 5: he isn't necessarily going to have, so again, I think
- 59:16Speaker 5: you canna start off with them. Then you have the
- 59:18Speaker 5: two edge rushers, Ruben Baines, who is six foot one
- 59:23Speaker 5: tour and seventy pounds, so his short, steady kind of
- 59:26Speaker 5: a guy may have short arms as well. I mean,
- 59:29Speaker 5: I want to watch him on taping and he reminds
- 59:31Speaker 5: me a little bit of Dwight FREEI. But I remember
- 59:33Speaker 5: Dwight FREEI being the number eleven overall draft pick and
- 59:37Speaker 5: obviously want to become in a Hall of Famer, but
- 59:39Speaker 5: there were questions about how good that he was going
- 59:41Speaker 5: to be. And there's been a lot of headdressers to
- 59:43Speaker 5: have that type of a frame that haven't been as
- 59:46Speaker 5: successful in the NFL. So he's got some questions about
- 59:50Speaker 5: And McKey Megador the head dresser on the opposite side,
- 59:53Speaker 5: similar kind of thing. He's more of a six foot
- 59:55Speaker 5: three tour and seventy pound frame, but again he's more
- 59:58Speaker 5: of a physical power kind of a player. And a
- 1:00:01Speaker 5: lot of the edge rushers they're successful in the NFL.
- 1:00:03Speaker 5: It's all about speed, it's all about your ladder jilly
- 1:00:06Speaker 5: to make people miss. So again, I think that those
- 1:00:10Speaker 5: are some of the people who from Miami are definitely
- 1:00:14Speaker 5: a little bit polarizing in the scouting community. And even
- 1:00:18Speaker 5: the big tackle Francis Myoga, you know, he's powerful. At
- 1:00:23Speaker 5: the same time, does he really have the speed the
- 1:00:26Speaker 5: light feet to be able to remain outside tackle in
- 1:00:30Speaker 5: the NFL as or it's he gonna wind up being
- 1:00:32Speaker 5: pushed inside to guard. So again, there's definitely talent, and
- 1:00:36Speaker 5: you can make an argument to all four of those
- 1:00:38Speaker 5: players at their best our first round picks. At the
- 1:00:41Speaker 5: same time, I can trad you some some ugly riffs
- 1:00:44Speaker 5: from each of those players at times as well that
- 1:00:47Speaker 5: should argue that they'd be more top one hundred kind
- 1:00:50Speaker 5: of guys, third round caliber prospects.
- 1:00:53Speaker 3: You know what's funny with Ruby Bain. We've talked about
- 1:00:55Speaker 3: him a couple of times, and I I because with
- 1:01:01Speaker 3: the Heisman vote, I try to watch not just quarterbacks
- 1:01:03Speaker 3: and running backs, so I want to see other guys.
- 1:01:05Speaker 3: And the thing with Bain is that we've talked about
- 1:01:07Speaker 3: him two or three times this season. Rob, I've watched
- 1:01:09Speaker 3: him and there's times where he pops, like just absolutely pops,
- 1:01:13Speaker 3: and there's other times where I'm like, I don't notice
- 1:01:15Speaker 3: him for a long period of time. Am I Am
- 1:01:17Speaker 3: I wrong with that?
- 1:01:19Speaker 6: No?
- 1:01:19Speaker 5: I That's that basically characterizes this entire draft class here.
- 1:01:23Speaker 5: This is not securely strong clasp. You have to for
- 1:01:28Speaker 5: some of the guys that are supposed to be first
- 1:01:30Speaker 5: round picks. I mean you have to kind of watch
- 1:01:32Speaker 5: the tape. They're like, oh, okay, it's kind of a
- 1:01:34Speaker 5: slow burn kind of a thing, and that shouldn't be
- 1:01:37Speaker 5: the case for guys that are, you know, possible first
- 1:01:41Speaker 5: round selections. It's you know, you know, I took my cap,
- 1:01:45Speaker 5: you know, John Scheider for for the courage to make
- 1:01:48Speaker 5: the trade that he did for Rashid Shahib, because that guy,
- 1:01:50Speaker 5: even when he's only had a couple of catches, you
- 1:01:53Speaker 5: see the return ability and the fact that Seatle's using
- 1:01:57Speaker 5: him out of the backfield as a you know, as
- 1:01:59Speaker 5: a running back just to take advantage of his speed.
- 1:02:01Speaker 5: It's acknowledging that there are not a lot of difference
- 1:02:06Speaker 5: makers in this upcoming draft class, and so you might
- 1:02:08Speaker 5: as well just kind of trade away some of those
- 1:02:10Speaker 5: draft picks to get something that can help you immediately,
- 1:02:13Speaker 5: because I don't know, there's a lot of players in
- 1:02:15Speaker 5: this draft class they're going to be able to do that.
- 1:02:17Speaker 3: Speaking off, at some point, we had to talk about
- 1:02:19Speaker 3: Texas Texas linebacker Jacob Rodriguez there. They're trying to pump
- 1:02:22Speaker 3: him up as a Heisman candidate, even having them carry,
- 1:02:25Speaker 3: you know, carry the ball out of the backfield and
- 1:02:26Speaker 3: everything else. But we'll talk about him down the road
- 1:02:28Speaker 3: as well, because yeah, it's also weird here for the Heisman.
- 1:02:31Speaker 3: There's no clear frontrunner. I think Love might be the
- 1:02:34Speaker 3: best player in the country, but he even shares carries
- 1:02:36Speaker 3: in the backfield for Notre Dame. So hard to go
- 1:02:37Speaker 3: down that road. All right, my friend, great stuff, Rob Rang.
- 1:02:40Speaker 3: You can read his stuff at Fox sports dot com.
- 1:02:42Speaker 3: Of course he's with us throughout the year and especially
- 1:02:45Speaker 3: we get hot and heavy for draft coming up after
- 1:02:47Speaker 3: super Bowl week. But in the meantime we love had

- 1:02:59Speaker 4: That is.
- 1:03:00Speaker 3: Rob Wrang will take a break Factor Fiction to wrap
- 1:03:02Speaker 3: up the week. Coming up next night's three point three
- 1:03:03Speaker 3: kJ FM.
- 1:03:08Speaker 7: From the R and R Foundation specialist broadcast Studio. Now
- 1:03:13Speaker 7: back to He and FURNESZ powered by Seattle's closest sports book, Snow,
- 1:03:17Speaker 7: Qualm Casino and Hotel on Sports Radio ninety three point
- 1:03:21Speaker 7: three kJ R FM.
- 1:03:25Speaker 3: All right, we'll get to factor fiction just a couple
- 1:03:26Speaker 3: of seconds, four nine, four to five one. Let's see
- 1:03:29Speaker 3: ask him. I'll just ask him for co sale, ask Coseel.
- 1:03:31Speaker 3: How bad Anthony Bradford is I have? He's not good.
- 1:03:34Speaker 1: Yeah, there's a whole like montage of very bad Anthony
- 1:03:39Speaker 1: Bradford snaps out there on social media.
- 1:03:41Speaker 3: Yeah he's not good. Nope, he is a problem. We
- 1:03:46Speaker 3: talked about that yesterday with Corbyn. Problem is you don't
- 1:03:48Speaker 3: have an answer like it's him right now. Gray'sabel though,
- 1:03:55Speaker 3: michaec Doll just say a short time ago that Graysabel
- 1:03:57Speaker 3: could play on Sunday going after game. It's gonna go
- 1:03:58Speaker 3: all the way after game time. Just how about just Rusting? Yeah,
- 1:04:02Speaker 3: you're playing the Titans. Yeah, I will don't need him
- 1:04:06Speaker 3: or Ernest Jones in there this week.
- 1:04:08Speaker 1: Ernest Jones definitely not. I think the one area where
- 1:04:11Speaker 1: the Titans can get you is the d line. Yeah,
- 1:04:15Speaker 1: so that's the only thing that I'm worried about. Jeffery
- 1:04:17Speaker 1: Simmons is a man's man.
- 1:04:18Speaker 3: He's a he's a dude. He's a dude. Two five three.
- 1:04:21Speaker 3: People need to pick their poison with quarterbacks. Sam's a
- 1:04:23Speaker 3: slinger who doesn't take sacks. Our time and possession is
- 1:04:25Speaker 3: scoring are very good. I'll take it over being sacked
- 1:04:28Speaker 3: multiple times and punting all the time.
- 1:04:30Speaker 5: I E.
- 1:04:30Speaker 3: Gene On later Russ. Every quarterback has clunkers. They can
- 1:04:32Speaker 3: just present differently. He's got to cut down the turn
- 1:04:35Speaker 3: overseel he just does. I mean, it's I mean, I've
- 1:04:39Speaker 3: said it before. You saw the difference between him and
- 1:04:42Speaker 3: Matthew Stafford on Sunday. Yep right, it's Stafford's not going
- 1:04:47Speaker 3: to make those mistakes. No, I need another two forty
- 1:04:50Speaker 3: five another dose of football radio crack, Millin and co Cell.
- 1:04:53Speaker 3: Can that happen again? Maybe maybe if they get to
- 1:04:55Speaker 3: the playoffs, will do that. I'm it's I love it.
- 1:04:59Speaker 3: I just I say, welcome back in Boom. I walk away.
- 1:05:03Speaker 3: The easiest thing I do. Yeah, and I can just
- 1:05:06Speaker 3: sit back and listen like you guys. Yeah, well the
- 1:05:08Speaker 3: crack and make the playoffs this season. Maybe we're just
- 1:05:11Speaker 3: going through the Odds with Anders Niner Break five O nine,
- 1:05:15Speaker 3: The Crack and Hockey Network theme music goes insanely hard.
- 1:05:19Speaker 3: I love it. It does, doesn't it. It's really good. Yeah.
- 1:05:23Speaker 3: Didn't you have like Hans Zimmer or something do it?
- 1:05:24Speaker 4: They did it?
- 1:05:25Speaker 3: Yeah? That was That was a Bruckheimer thing. That's so yeah.
- 1:05:27Speaker 3: That was a favorite to him. That's a really really
- 1:05:31Speaker 3: good music. Like it goes like it's one of those things.
- 1:05:35Speaker 3: It has no right going that hard. It's for a
- 1:05:37Speaker 3: pregame theme, for a pre game intermission, post game. I
- 1:05:41Speaker 3: love it. It gets ready to go. I hear that, like,
- 1:05:43Speaker 3: all right, there we go. Okay, let's get to it.
- 1:05:45Speaker 3: Factor Fiction, where's that to go? Glad you're with us?
- 1:05:48Speaker 2: It's your shot at our weekly thousand bucks and the
- 1:05:52Speaker 2: ten thousand dollars grand prize. It's Factor Fiction, probably presented
- 1:05:57Speaker 2: by Lucky Eagle Casino and hotel where every day Feels Lucky.
- 1:06:02Speaker 2: Factor Fiction is on Sports Radio ninety three point three
- 1:06:06Speaker 2: kJ R FM.
- 1:06:09Speaker 3: Do you hear any college football music? I'm looking through here? One?
- 1:06:16Speaker 6: Two.
- 1:06:16Speaker 3: There's only been two picks this week, NFL Pick or
- 1:06:20Speaker 3: College Football Picks. Everything else has been NFL. Yeah, MJ
- 1:06:23Speaker 3: took Iowa Michigan State under forty two and a half today.
- 1:06:28Speaker 3: Why Jackson took JMU minus thirteen and a half for Wazoo.
- 1:06:33Speaker 3: I get that pick. You're just being that guy, and
- 1:06:36Speaker 3: you know what, I appreciate it. I have great respect
- 1:06:40Speaker 3: for that because I do the same thing. And I
- 1:06:42Speaker 3: almost did that again today, keyword being almost, yeah, And
- 1:06:49Speaker 3: I was leaning hard towards that, going basically down the
- 1:06:53Speaker 3: same road I go down all the time. But I'm
- 1:06:56Speaker 3: going to tell you right now, after listening to co
- 1:06:58Speaker 3: to Rob rang I gotta go with the Ducks. Yeah, God,
- 1:07:05Speaker 3: I've got it. I've got it without the hook. Do
- 1:07:07Speaker 3: you still have with the hook? Yes?
- 1:07:10Speaker 6: Damn it.
- 1:07:11Speaker 3: Okay, Oregon minus ten and a half over USC fact
- 1:07:18Speaker 3: four nine four five one. I know that's a big spread.
- 1:07:21Speaker 3: I get that they're at home. No, they're at home.
- 1:07:26Speaker 3: And I don't think you and line of scrimmage, as
- 1:07:29Speaker 3: Rob said, talent level, as Rob said, just they're just different.
- 1:07:33Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 1:07:34Speaker 3: USC is on the up with with Lincoln Riley. Yeah,
- 1:07:37Speaker 3: but I'm I think Oregon. I think Oregon now is
- 1:07:41Speaker 3: like kind of taking the season seriously. I think Dan
- 1:07:43Speaker 3: Lanning is the kind of guy that they cannot relax.
- 1:07:48Speaker 3: They got whacked at home by Indiana thirty to twenty
- 1:07:51Speaker 3: in the game. Frankly wasn't that close since that time
- 1:07:55Speaker 3: close game against Iowa should have killed Wisconsin only beat
- 1:07:59Speaker 3: him by fourteen. Minnesota. They handily won no last week,
- 1:08:04Speaker 3: handily forty two thirteen. And I think they I think
- 1:08:07Speaker 3: they give it to you. I think they curbsed off
- 1:08:09Speaker 3: USC tomorrow. Yeah. Here's the thing. Style points matters too.
- 1:08:11Speaker 3: It's we're at that point. Yeah, we're at that point.
- 1:08:14Speaker 3: Even though they say it doesn't, it does Oregon minus
- 1:08:17Speaker 3: ten and a half fact four nine four or five
- 1:08:20Speaker 3: one versus USC. If you disagree fiction four nine four
- 1:08:22Speaker 3: to five one. You're playing for a thousand dollars weekly prize,
- 1:08:24Speaker 3: ten thousand dollars grand prize. Curzy the Lucky Eagle casino
- 1:08:27Speaker 3: and hotel where every day feels lucky, twenty four hour
- 1:08:29Speaker 3: gaming Friday, Saturday, Sunday. Here we go. H I'm leaning
- 1:08:35Speaker 3: into the Ducks. Part of it is I want to
- 1:08:38Speaker 3: see them roll in here next week and just have
- 1:08:42Speaker 3: a little bit more on the line. That's what that game. Yeah,
- 1:08:46Speaker 3: they can't afford a loss, certainly a home loss to USC.
- 1:08:50Speaker 3: Now they beat USC tomorrow and lose to Washington. I
- 1:08:57Speaker 3: don't think they're in, But I just I think you
- 1:08:59Speaker 3: can't make any difference statements right now about the college
- 1:09:01Speaker 3: football playoff. There's just too much left to happen over
- 1:09:04Speaker 3: the next two weeks. Yeah, you can throw in the
- 1:09:07Speaker 3: champion the conference championship games a week later if you want,
- 1:09:10Speaker 3: But really, the next two weeks there's a lot going on.
- 1:09:12Speaker 3: I think they have to go to and O. I
- 1:09:13Speaker 3: think they do too. I would, Yes, I agree with you.
- 1:09:17Speaker 3: I think they need to go to and Oh. But yeah,
- 1:09:21Speaker 3: I think USC's disappointed me on a couple of occasions
- 1:09:25Speaker 3: this year. I've picked them a couple of times, so
- 1:09:27Speaker 3: I'm not picking them again. I'm going to Oregon, Oregon.
- 1:09:29Speaker 3: I know, listen for many of you. You'll feel dirty.
- 1:09:32Speaker 3: I get it. Yeah, then pick fiction. That's the think
- 1:09:35Speaker 3: the case.
- 1:09:36Speaker 5: I don't know.
- 1:09:36Speaker 3: I think the Ducks might be able to I think
- 1:09:38Speaker 3: they could afford a loss. Really, I don't think they
- 1:09:40Speaker 3: could afford a loss at home. What's worse home versus
- 1:09:44Speaker 3: USC year or on the road against Washington. Well, Washington's
- 1:09:47Speaker 3: gonna win this week? They will? Did they get votes?
- 1:09:51Speaker 3: At all last week in the top twenty five. Yeah,
- 1:09:54Speaker 3: they did. Okay, I think I think Washington the Washington
- 1:10:00Speaker 3: would be it's on the road at the Husky Stadium.
- 1:10:02Speaker 3: It's a rivalry game. If it's closed and something weird happens,
- 1:10:06Speaker 3: and if they handle USC, I think maybe I think
- 1:10:08Speaker 3: this is just a huge game. Yeah, I'm going it
- 1:10:11Speaker 3: doesn't matter. I've already picked made the pick Oregon minus
- 1:10:13Speaker 3: ten and a half fact for him. I was leading.
- 1:10:15Speaker 3: I was kind of fifty to fifty on the scheme,
- 1:10:16Speaker 3: you know that. But then I listened to Rang and
- 1:10:18Speaker 3: he's telling me how the great a lot of scrimmage
- 1:10:19Speaker 3: and the talent battles not even close right now. So
- 1:10:22Speaker 3: so you got to pick the ducks if you want
- 1:10:23Speaker 3: to win a thousand dollars a weekly prize, ten thousand
- 1:10:25Speaker 3: dollars grand prize four nine four or five to one
- 1:10:27Speaker 3: Oregon minus ten and a half fact four nine four
- 1:10:30Speaker 3: or five one if you disagree, fiction four nine four
- 1:10:32Speaker 3: or five one. I would have loved to not have
- 1:10:33Speaker 3: had the hook on that. Yeah, but I'll take it.
- 1:10:36Speaker 3: We'll live with it. Fine, I mean pushes a fiction anyway.
- 1:10:39Speaker 3: So yeah, and eleven's not doesn't really matter right now.
- 1:10:41Speaker 3: For the most part, six and a half matters. Ten
- 1:10:45Speaker 3: and a half not as much. Yeah, all right, texting
- 1:10:52Speaker 3: right now? Oh one more time. Uh, we might have
- 1:10:55Speaker 3: it fixed next week. Maybe possibly. It's looking bounce back's
- 1:11:00Speaker 3: not working. If that's if you're wondering, if you've ever
- 1:11:03Speaker 3: played the game and you say, hey man, I'm not
- 1:11:05Speaker 3: getting a bounce back right now, we get it. It's
- 1:11:08Speaker 3: because there's been an issue with the text thing. Your
- 1:11:11Speaker 3: count your vote is still getting counted as long as
- 1:11:13Speaker 3: you spell it correctly. Don't be the guy or woman
- 1:11:17Speaker 3: that doesn't spell it correctly. Fac didn't get counted there seven.
- 1:11:22Speaker 9: I like that though, FAC five yeah, F I C
- 1:11:27Speaker 9: t io N if your last numbers are n in
- 1:11:31Speaker 9: five six eight for your phone didn't get there.
- 1:11:34Speaker 3: It's a double Rick Corcoran. It didn't get rick. You
- 1:11:37Speaker 3: yours didn't get counted, just barely beat it. Yeah, try
- 1:11:41Speaker 3: it one.
- 1:11:41Speaker 6: More time.
- 1:11:43Speaker 3: Three zero zero one. You didn't get it counted either,
- 1:11:46Speaker 3: all right, So if you're listening right now, you guys
- 1:11:48Speaker 3: started right before it opened, Okay, so get that in
- 1:11:52Speaker 3: there right now. Four nine four five one fact if
- 1:11:53Speaker 3: you agree fiction, if you disagree again Oregon minus ten
- 1:11:56Speaker 3: and a half fact you disagree fiction four nine four
- 1:11:59Speaker 3: five one, She says, already, then here he is, d
- 1:12:17Speaker 3: yea Eavey Friday to you, buddy. Oh, thank you, thank
- 1:12:21Speaker 3: you very much. Yeah too, Bet. Not down in l
- 1:12:23Speaker 3: a Ah, the Rose Bull. You should be in the
- 1:12:26Speaker 3: Rosebull the last game for UCLA there, right, we thought
- 1:12:28Speaker 3: about going down there and then Wisconsin happened. That's right.
- 1:12:32Speaker 3: So so what Petros I heard a little bit the
- 1:12:34Speaker 3: other day, is this it for the Rose Bowl? Like
- 1:12:36Speaker 3: the final UCLA game there? They thank? Yeah, this could
- 1:12:39Speaker 3: be it.
- 1:12:39Speaker 5: Man.
- 1:12:39Speaker 10: We'll see what happens over the offseason and look at it.
- 1:12:42Speaker 10: I kind of get it, man, it's hard to get there.
- 1:12:43Speaker 3: You know. People have been bitching about the Rose Bull forever.
- 1:12:46Speaker 10: I think they just say things like, well, you know,
- 1:12:48Speaker 10: the Rose Bull sucks, but we'd rather be there than
- 1:12:51Speaker 10: Sofi Stadium, which I totally understand that. I think personally,
- 1:12:54Speaker 10: they're going to find a way to get something done
- 1:12:56Speaker 10: on campus down the road. I know that Petros is
- 1:12:59Speaker 10: very skeptical about that. I just can't imagine them playing
- 1:13:02Speaker 10: their games long term and so far unless you do.
- 1:13:04Speaker 10: I think it was new Heisl's idea. You play the
- 1:13:07Speaker 10: big games at the Rose Bowl right right, like the
- 1:13:10Speaker 10: dynamic pricing games.
- 1:13:12Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, I see Ohio State.
- 1:13:16Speaker 10: I don't know if Oregon whatever you have blah blah blah,
- 1:13:18Speaker 10: and then you play the crap at the at so.
- 1:13:20Speaker 3: Fine well basically any game that's a SOFI stadium. You see,
- 1:13:25Speaker 3: LA is telling what Petrol saying about, like building a
- 1:13:28Speaker 3: stadium there, like the track. The track, they got.
- 1:13:31Speaker 10: Problems with the neighbors and all that stuff. There's really
- 1:13:33Speaker 10: nowhere to put it is is the real issue. They
- 1:13:35Speaker 10: don't want traffic, they don't want any of that stuff.
- 1:13:38Speaker 3: Man, I don't know.
- 1:13:39Speaker 10: I mean, I think what they should do is just
- 1:13:40Speaker 10: go small the build like a semi soccer stadium that
- 1:13:43Speaker 10: seats forty thousand people.
- 1:13:44Speaker 3: That's what you do, honestly, Yeah, why not? What is
- 1:13:47Speaker 3: autin fifty thousand right now? And you fill it up
- 1:13:49Speaker 3: and it's a better atmosphere and yeah fifty five.
- 1:13:52Speaker 10: By the way, I'll talk to Gonzano about this later
- 1:13:54Speaker 10: on that Oregon might be in the mix for a
- 1:13:56Speaker 10: new park down there in Eugenew Park, either either a
- 1:14:01Speaker 10: new Otston or a greatly expanded Austin Stadium down there.
- 1:14:05Speaker 3: So well they alread expanded it once, right, they might
- 1:14:08Speaker 3: keep going. They they might keep going. Just hey, check yourself, Oregon,
- 1:14:11Speaker 3: Like just check yourself for a second. Huh, I'm just
- 1:14:14Speaker 3: missing check yourself or rumors. I've heard rooms about that.
- 1:14:18Speaker 3: I've heard rumors about Anders, I've heard rumors about you.
- 1:14:21Speaker 3: Well the rumors. Did I see Canzano right that Jim
- 1:14:26Speaker 3: Mora juniors in contention for the Oregon state jobs? Yes
- 1:14:29Speaker 3: he is. Uh.
- 1:14:30Speaker 10: I know a lot of guys in contention for the
- 1:14:31Speaker 10: Oregon stage jo Uh, former Husky wide receivers coach, is
- 1:14:35Speaker 10: now at Alabama. I think his name might be getting
- 1:14:38Speaker 10: floated out there by some people.
- 1:14:40Speaker 7: Uh.
- 1:14:40Speaker 3: Jim Mora, first of all, is not a junior.
- 1:14:42Speaker 6: You know that, right.
- 1:14:43Speaker 10: He's got a different middle name than his dad. I
- 1:14:46Speaker 10: think one's a Frank and one's a Lord, which is
- 1:14:48Speaker 10: like ridiculous junior. If you're if you like, if you're
- 1:14:52Speaker 10: Jim more of the elder. Yeah, and you and you
- 1:14:55Speaker 10: had a kid and Jim, I mean, what are you doing?
- 1:14:59Speaker 6: Right?
- 1:14:59Speaker 5: Yeah?
- 1:14:59Speaker 3: You have to ex I didn't be of course, of
- 1:15:02Speaker 3: course anyway, So he's he's rumored there's all kinds of rumors.
- 1:15:05Speaker 10: Man, JaMarcus uh Shepherd Shepherd, Okay, I think Oregon State's
- 1:15:09Speaker 10: got a shot to get a pretty decent name. Question is,
- 1:15:12Speaker 10: does Jim Mora want to leave Yukon for Oregon State? Like,
- 1:15:15Speaker 10: what's a better job right now? It sounds ridiculous obviously
- 1:15:19Speaker 10: now today, what would be technically a better job?
- 1:15:21Speaker 3: I think if you're not unless you're Notre Dame being
- 1:15:25Speaker 3: one of two independents in the country, I think being
- 1:15:27Speaker 3: in a conference is better. Yeah, I think you can win.
- 1:15:29Speaker 3: You're also at a basketball first Actually you're number three
- 1:15:32Speaker 3: on that camp. Yeah, behind women's basketball and men's basketball. Yeah,
- 1:15:35Speaker 3: and you're number two behind baseball and corvallis kind of
- 1:15:39Speaker 3: You're kind of right about that.
- 1:15:40Speaker 10: I just wonder if you can win more games at Yukon. Man, Honestly,
- 1:15:43Speaker 10: I think I think Oregon State's in trouble. I feel
- 1:15:45Speaker 10: really bad for Oregon State. I think they are really
- 1:15:48Speaker 10: really behind the eight ball right now. Man, with their
- 1:15:50Speaker 10: situation down there, big time.
- 1:15:53Speaker 3: They got they got money though, more money than we have.
- 1:15:55Speaker 3: I don't know, dude, Well, I'll take it out like that.
- 1:15:57Speaker 3: That's fine, fine.
- 1:15:58Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 1:15:59Speaker 3: J Mark Marcus was in continent for our job last year.
- 1:16:02Speaker 3: He was He don't think he ever an interviewed, but
- 1:16:04Speaker 3: I know his name was floated out there. So if
- 1:16:06Speaker 3: that guy floated out there, if I'm not mistaken, you
- 1:16:08Speaker 3: may have you flowed a lot of things. Yeah, he
- 1:16:11Speaker 3: may be.
- 1:16:12Speaker 10: He may be a head coach down the road one day.
- 1:16:14Speaker 10: He might need to go be a coordinator first before
- 1:16:16Speaker 10: he becomes a head coach. He's never been a coordinator before,
- 1:16:18Speaker 10: at least not for a significant amount of time.
- 1:16:20Speaker 3: But I love the guy.
- 1:16:21Speaker 10: I mean, he's a phenomenal dude, and I think he's
- 1:16:23Speaker 10: a great leader and personality and all that I.
- 1:16:26Speaker 3: Can recruit too. CEOC left year and grub was here. No, No,
- 1:16:29Speaker 3: that was Nick Sheridan.
- 1:16:31Speaker 10: Okay, Yeah, Nick Sheridan was the OC and then he
- 1:16:33Speaker 10: hired grub back, Brian grubbing me the next OC of

- 1:16:40Speaker 3: What's a better job Atlanta better than the Alabama O C? Absolutely? Yeah, Well,
- 1:16:47Speaker 3: I guess depends on the coaches.
- 1:16:48Speaker 10: Dude, you're one step away from the head coach getting
- 1:16:50Speaker 10: fired and you taken over, kid me can't can't, he
- 1:16:54Speaker 10: can't fail again in the NFL.
- 1:16:56Speaker 3: Everybody wants back in the NFL. Everybody wants back in
- 1:16:59Speaker 3: the Let's put it this way, it's a it's an
- 1:17:01Speaker 3: easier job. It's not twelve and a half months a year, no,

- 1:17:11Speaker 3: recruit in the NFL. You don't You don't deal with
- 1:17:14Speaker 3: twice the players. You don't deal with moms and dads
- 1:17:16Speaker 3: and donors and and ill, once the season's over, your
- 1:17:19Speaker 3: job's over. You wait till the guys drop somebody then
- 1:17:21Speaker 3: to deal with it.

- 1:17:24Speaker 10: tape with a GM and all that stuff. You're going
- 1:17:25Speaker 10: to the scouting combine, blah blah blah. But yeah, it's
- 1:17:28Speaker 10: a totally different gig. And it's like people ask you
- 1:17:30Speaker 10: all the time, how come you don't want to coach?
- 1:17:32Speaker 10: Because I do want to work eighty hours a week
- 1:17:34Speaker 10: for God's sakes, are you kidding me? Why would he
- 1:17:37Speaker 10: coach when he can come on there?
