10-27 H1: What's On Tap, Managerial Search & Empty The Book · Chuck in the Morning

• 0:14
  Speaker 1: Hey, great morning to you. Welcome in. It is Chuck
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: in the morning. Sports Radio 93.3 KJR FM. It is
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: great to have you on this Tuesday. Not just any Tuesday,
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: but a Kraken Ticket Tuesday. Where else are you going
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: to experience a Kraken Ticket Tuesday except on the flagship
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: Sports Radio 93.3 KJR FM? More on that coming up
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: here on the program. But we welcome you for the
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: next four hours. Christopher Kidd is here. Anders Hurst is here.
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: My name is Chuck Powell as we get things started
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: here on this Tuesday. We got a lot planned for you,
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: which I will map out coming up here in a
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: matter of minutes with what's on tap as we start
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: every single show. Good morning to you. Good morning. How
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: are you, Chuck? I'm doing all right. It's a short
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: week for me. I am going, actually taking a vacation.
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: And of course, in the guilty person that will use
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: his vacation time to go see family and not actually
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: do something fun. Hey, that could be fun. Both those
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: things don't have to be mutually exclusive. I typically have
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: a great time, but we have our same amount of
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: drama as every other family, probably more so because there
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: are more of us than most families. I don't understand
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: why we go through that, but when we can just
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: lock in on, hey, let's not talk about anything that
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: could anger or frustrate someone else, and we just keep
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: it to fun, it's a good group. We laugh our
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: asses off, so... We'll see. Now, they have planned for
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: me something every night, so no one checked in with
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: me on, number one, what would you like to do?
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: Funny how that works. Number two, would you like to
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: get some rest and relaxation on your vacation trip? No,
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: nobody factored that into the equation. Yeah, and I'm probably
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: going to come back about 38 pounds heavier because everyone's
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: throwing me a feast party, which, of course, is very wonderful.
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, home cooking. It's going to be a wonderful time,
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: I'm sure.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I think you're probably shooting a little
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: too high there. Overselling it a little bit. Yeah, yeah.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: I will settle for a good time. Okay. Good time.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: Good time. Yeah. Wonderful. Excellent. If it reaches that, that's great.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: That's just pleasant. But I'm going to, I'm going to, yeah,
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: I'm going to shoot for pleasant. Okay. Yeah. Pleasant's my
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: high bar.
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: Well, I mean, when you gather a family, I mean,
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: you don't see them very often either. No, I don't.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: This is why I'm doing it. This is why I
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: have to do it. This is why I got to spend. Yeah.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: You know, one of my vacation weeks and dollars and
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: thousand dollar flight home because there's no other way to
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: get anywhere from Seattle than to take connecting flights. I
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: got a voucher, right? I got a voucher. So it
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: didn't come out of my pocket, but it was a
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: thousand dollar voucher. And I'm sitting there thinking, oh, I
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: can split this up into two. Yeah. I have two
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: different flights that I could use this. Nope.
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: No that would be no i have an eight hour
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: flight with a connector uh waiting for me on friday
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: and it still cost me a thousand dollars oh my
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: god i mean it really only cost me 650 or
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: 670 but i'm like well i don't even have any
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: left over so i might as well jump up to
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: at least like business class i don't even know what
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: that even affords you yeah certainly not gonna get a
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: foot rub No, probably not. No. Yeah. Maybe you'll get
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: a drink on the flight? I think I just got screwed. Probably.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: What's the point in keeping it? I'm not going to
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: be able to fit another flight under $ 230. Yeah. So
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: I might as well upgrade myself a little bit, I guess. Yeah.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: But anyway. I like the thought process. Yeah, well, who knows?
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: Me and money, I do not know how to make
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: it stretch. And I don't even have anything to show
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: for it. Look at me. I mean, look at me. YouTube,
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: look at him. Yeah. Let me invite you into this world.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: I got nothing to show for it. If I had
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: fancy clothes or a great car. Would you be wearing
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: like all the drip and everything in the office? I
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: don't know if I'd be that, but I'd like to
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: have a little more comfort in my life. I'd like
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: to be able to not sweat a $ 3, 000 trip because
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: I am. Did I get enough out of my free money? Um, yeah.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: So anyway, welcome in. Um, so it's a short week. Uh,
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: we will, uh, we'll update you on that stuff. At
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: least for me, it's a short week. We'll update you
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: on all that stuff as the week goes along, but, uh,
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: let's get things started here on this Tuesday. Um, and I,
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: you know, bought a conversation last week, having to face
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: Ken Walker. Um, then all of a sudden the Seattle
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: Seahawks end up gaining five yards on the ground to
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: Kansas city's one. I mean, Al gained them 5-1 in
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: that game. Now, a lot of that had to do
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: with how great the defense was, but you got 153
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: rushing yards in the game on Sunday night. You got
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: 100 of it from Emmanuel Wilson, and maybe a lot
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: of that had to do with, and I'm not going
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: to try to give Anthony Bradford too much credit, but
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: I also don't want to exclude him from some credit
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: because getting your starting offensive linebacker Not only was that
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: the best defensive performance of the season, and we've had
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: some great ones of those, not only was it Sam
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: Darnold's best performance of the season, not only was it
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: Emmanuel Wilson's best performance of the season, but it was
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: also the offensive line's best performance of the season. Not
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: only did they block for 153 yards, Sam Darnold wasn't sacked.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: That's the most time he's had to throw the football
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: all season long, and the Chiefs are statistically a really
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: good team that maybe hasn't played the best competition to
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: the point that you were making last week. But the
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: end result is that the conversation suddenly about our running
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: back room is completely different on this Tuesday morning than
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: it was last Tuesday morning. Because last Tuesday morning, the
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: sky was falling. What are we going to do? How
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: are we ever going to get a running back running
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: game going? And now all of a sudden you have
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: Wilson coming off maybe the best game of his career.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: You have. Jadarian Price starting practice this week. So a
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: chance that he's going to suit back up and obviously
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: a much better chance this week than for Zach Charbonnet
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: to be ready as well, which he wasn't quite ready
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: to go a week ago when we thought we would
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: at least see five to 10 touches from him on
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: Sunday night. We ended up not seeing anything at all.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: And you still ended up with 153 rushing yards against
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: what's supposed to be one of the best defensive coordinators
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: in the national football. They get a pretty darn good defense.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: and the Kansas City Chiefs. So, obviously, the conversation has changed,
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: and I'm wondering, and this is the question, Anders, have
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: the Hawks figured out their running back room just in
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: the nick of time? Like, I can just picture Brian
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: Fleury like Jeremy Renner in Hurt Locker.
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: You know, trying to make sure that he clips the
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: right wire before the thing goes boom. Yeah. Did he
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: do it? Is he now like... take the sweat from
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: his brow, look around and like, not only did we
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: avoid disaster by falling below three and to falling below
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: 500 on Sunday night, but now we also have reinforcements
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: coming in. It's like, I just saved the running back
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: room and the cavalry is arriving, or at least the
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: cavalry they intended to have for 2026 is arriving at
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: the exact same time. So Did they do it? Did
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: they solve the running back? We're two weeks away from
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: the NFL trading deadline as of today. Did they solve
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: the running back room just in the nick of time
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: to make everybody feel like even if they don't do
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: anything in two weeks, we're okay. This is going to
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: be all right as it turns out.
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it just depends on what your definition
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: of okay or solve would be because even with– jadarian
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: price healthy.
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: The definition is is it workable is it doable can
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: you win a championship with the running back room that
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: you have.
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: I think you can um i i think you can
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: it just i think people are stuck to the idea
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: and it's obviously a little bit better now that you'd
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: the alternative or the guy you had last year came
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: in and struggled against you guys just this past weekend.
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: But there always will be this alternate reality that what
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: if we kept Ken Walker? We could have that much
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: more of a running game and we're going to always
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: compare that, right? I still think, yes, if you're just
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: looking at this season and trying to piece together the
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: kind of pieces that you have to put something together
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: to be just workable enough I don't I don't ever
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: think this will be a top 10 running back room
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: unless you do make a trade but you're still like
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: as long as you're able to effectively keep the play
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: action in play keep Sam Darnold from having to throw
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: 50 times a game which I think is the case
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: when Zach Charbonnet and Jadarian Price come back. So yes,
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: to answer your question, I believe just in the nick
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: of time, it went from, oh my God, this is terrible.
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: We need to do anything to bring anyone in off
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: the street to, all right, we might actually be okay.
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: And it might not be our biggest need at the deadline.
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: And as you know, that might've been, that's my thought.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: That's a stark turnabout from the conversations that were held
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: on these airwaves and many airwaves. last week. There is
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: only one definition here. Can you win the Super Bowl
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: with this group? That's it. you know there is there's
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: no other way it depends on what your definition of
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: okay is there is none it is can you win
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: the super bowl with this group it's not Can this
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: group be one of the best in the National Football League?
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: No.
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: Can it be good enough that it's not a weakness,
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: that it doesn't prohibit you from winning a championship? That
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: is the question. That is the only definition for this.
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: And we haven't seen the design for this room function yet.
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: And yet, if you don't do anything at the trading
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: deadline two weeks from now, this is the group you're
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: stuck with. I mean, sure, you could pick up some
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: guy with fresh legs. I love the fresh legs addition
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: to the running back room at the end of the season.
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: I do. I love it. I mean, even if they're
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: not any good, they're being fresh. makes them unlike any
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: defense that they're going against, and makes them unlike any
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: running back that you tend to have yourself. So I
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: do like that. I think that even a no-name off
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: the street can give you fresh legs and it can
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: boost it. So, I mean, that's a possibility if you
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: think it's okay that at some point In the second half,
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: even after the trading deadline, you could add Fresh Legs, dude. Okay?
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: Fresh Legs McGee could be added to this roster at
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: any point in the second half of the season. But
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: in terms of feeling good about it, Fresh Legs McGee
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: doesn't make you feel good about it. You're rolling the
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: dice on Fresh Legs McGee. You'd have to pretty much
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: add something at the trading deadline. or you stick with
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: what you got. And right now we've got a Jadarian
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: price who it's unfair to label him an injury risk.
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: I mean, he's had one injury in the national football league,
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: and then he had a setback, but he already was
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: saddled with durability questions and not because he's ended up
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: on the training table at Notre Dame. It's because he
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: never ended up in the huddle at Notre Dame. He
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: didn't even show at the college level that I'm a
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: durable running back. He didn't have the opportunity. And then
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: he shows up with skinny legs. And your top analyst
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: on your team here at KHAR points it out on
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: the very first day of training camp. I'm surprised by
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: his skinny legs. And now you can't unsee that. Yeah,
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: I can't either. Right? That's true. It's not even his
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: legs that got hurt. No. It was his chest and
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: shoulder that got hurt. So it wasn't even his legs.
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: But now all of a sudden you're like, ooh, geez, okay,
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: this is a step up. And he didn't even prove,
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: didn't have the chance to prove that he has durability.
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: So it has to be a question mark. We haven't
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: seen Zach Charbonnet play this season. I mean, he's coming
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: off a major injury. And he obviously wasn't ready to
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: come back from last week. And the idea of having
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: similar Zach Charbonnet makes you better. He doesn't make you great.
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: Might not even make you good. But he makes you
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: better than what we saw prior to Sunday night. Yes.
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: And Emmanuel Wilson really has had, let's be fair, two
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: good games. This year? Yeah, two good games. Sunday night
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: for sure. I think Washington was the other one. And
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: then I think it was Arizona. Wasn't it Arizona when
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: he just kind of churned up yardage in the second
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: half of the season? I know he had one of
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: those games where he did exactly what you wanted him
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: to do. It was Arizona, you're right. Nothing spectacular, but hey,
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: we got to just chew clock. We've got to lead.
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: We need that kind of running back, and he delivered
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: on that. So two games. It's not like this was
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: just one game. Freakish, flukish Sunday night game. He's had
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: two games. But two out of six? How good does
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: that make you feel? Two out of seven, excuse me.
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: Two out of seven? How good does that make you feel?
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: And not just like, oh, he wasn't given the opportunities.
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: It was like he was kind of the only guy
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: for a while there.
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: So that's your running back room. And when the entire
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: world comes... crashing down critically on John Schneider's big mistake
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: last week of not bringing back Ken Walker and his answer.
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: We saw on Sunday night on the football field, like
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: I'm not investing big in running backs because I can,
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: my third string guy can get the job done that
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: I'm paying peanuts to by NFL standards. And I got
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: my second string guy sitting over there in a stocking
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: cap on the sidelines. He's about ready to go. And
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: I got my, in theory, first string guy, who I
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: took with the first round pick, that is getting ready
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: to come back as well. We're going to be okay.
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: I mean, that potentially is the argument from the other side.
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: So if we do blow through on the strength of
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: those three theories... Wilson can get the job done in
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: a pinch. Price is going to be back. We haven't
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: even really scratched the surface on that guy. And Charbonnet
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: at least makes our running back room better. We know that.
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: Even if he doesn't make it good to great, he
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: makes it better. If you operate on the foundation of
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: those three principles and don't do anything at the NFL
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: trading deadline, if Charbonnet's knee's not right, if Jadarian Price
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: is injury-prone, and if Emmanuel Wilson is only good for
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: one game every four, you've got a running back problem.
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: So how much are you willing to pay for insurance
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: between now and November 10th? And how big of a
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: policy are you staring at? That's our question for the
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: next couple of weeks. I mean, is it Tony Pollard?
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: I think that makes some sense. Nothing that you have
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: to break the bank for. He's young. He's coming off
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: the best game of his entire career, really, against three
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: touchdowns this past weekend for the Tennessee Titans. I don't
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: think he's going to cost a lot. Frankly, Saquon Barkley
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: is not going to cost a lot. We've already covered this.
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: He's got one of those contracts that Philadelphia is going
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: to take pretty much all of it. And so if
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: the NFL trade rumor story is accurate, and I don't
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: know because I don't do NFL math.
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: It's weird. It's a different type of math. Yeah. I
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: can't speak Mandarin either. You want to hold that against me?
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: I don't know which one's harder. Yeah. NFL math without
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: question because it doesn't make any sense. So I have
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: to go on what people that do this for a
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: living report on, and that is they're saying that it's
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: not a big cap hit whatsoever. and probably would cost
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: you at most a second-round selection, and most of the
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: mock-up trades I'm seeing for, say, Kwon Barkley, it's going
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: to only cost you a third. He's injured. That's very clear.
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: He's had three different injuries so far this season. And
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: even last night, like, you could tell. He can't get
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: through a game right now. Now, that's not his history.
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: And he looks phenomenal. Yeah. And even last night with
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: a bum hamstring and a back, because his problem last
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: night was apparently the back injury that he suffered trying
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: to protect the hamstring. Even with that, he had more
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: bursts than any running back on either team last night
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: and scored a touchdown on one leg and a bad back.
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: So if you can get him healthy, dude's got juice.
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: Still dude can play dude could be the difference.
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: And having that running back room, that won't be the
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: thing that keeps you from winning the Super Bowl this year.
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: And since the other parts seem to be shining, I'm interested. Yeah,
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: I am too. Now, I don't think the Jonathan Taylor
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: thing is going to happen because that flies right in
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: the face of the entire organizational philosophy of we're not
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: going to invest a lot of financial over multiple years.
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: to a running back we're just not going to do
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: it it's why we let walker go so if anything
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: sunday night if the seahawks felt emboldened as an organization
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: by what they saw sunday night we shut down their
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: star running back that we let walk and we had
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: a hundred more yards than him as a group if
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: that emboldened them and their philosophy well there's no way
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: that they're going to now give that money to Jonathan
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: Taylor over the next couple of years and probably have
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: to give up a higher trade package for Taylor than
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: you would say Kwon Barkley. So that's where I think
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: we sit. I think I'd add, I think there are
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: too many question marks. I think it's too important. I
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: think I would add, and if the price tag really
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: is from a financial and trade deadline aspect or a
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: trade capital standpoint, If it's not that steep for Saquon Barkley,
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: to me, he's the best option out there if you
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: can get him healthy. He could be the difference between
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: whether or not you have an effective running back room
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: for the playoffs or not. All right, let's find out
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: what's on tap.
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: May I have your attention, please? This is What's On Tap,
• 19:21

• 19:33
  Speaker 1: Greg bell will join us at 705 certainly a little
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: bit on the nfl trading deadline which is in two
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: weeks certainly more on jadarian price who returned to practice
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: this week and we will go ahead and start looking
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: a little bit ahead to next monday night football's matchup
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: with the chicago bears because it's that big of a deal.
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: Greg Bell joins us at 7.05. Last night's Monday Night
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: Affair went to the Dallas Cowboys, 38-21. I pulled off
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: a rare feat. I was wrong on both ends. No
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: matter what pick I would have taken, would have been wrong.
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: You're welcome. You're welcome that I am so easy to solve.
• 20:09
  Speaker 3: Yep.
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: We'll play Factor Fiction today again at 735. Gene Steratore
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: is going to join us today at 8 o'clock for
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: his normal Tuesday segment, and there is a lot to
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: discuss with Gene. College football, Jed Fish is facing the choice.
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: DeMond or Elijah, pretty much tight-lipped about who's going to
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: start for him at quarterback against the Nebraska Cornhuskers. All
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: signs point to Elijah Brown. I think he's going to
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: choose DeMond Williams Jr., We'll be talking about that more
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: as the week goes on. We'll ask Rick Neuheisel about
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: it today at 9 o'clock as well as we preview
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: college football week number 9. WNBA Game 5 finals are
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: going to be held Thursday. The Golden State Valkyries are
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: up 3-2 as that series has just kept going back
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: and forth. They're going to be back in Atlanta for
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: game number 6. Get this. Thursday tip, 9.30 our time. A.M.? Yeah.
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: That's weird. For a potential... Clencher. That's almost weirder than
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: 10 o'clock on a Saturday. And they may have to,
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: when they're done, if the Golden State Valkyries win, they
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: may have to hurry them into a separate room to
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: celebrate because they've got to get the floor ready for
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: something else. No one prepared for the Atlanta dream to
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: be here in Atlanta. Yeah. It's a very strange story.
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: That's weird. NBA, the Grizzlies of all teams have started 4-0,
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: haven't played anybody, but they're off to a 4-0 start
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: with a win last night. And the World Series, the
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: Milwaukee Brewers are now one win away from being world
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: champs in the first time in franchise history. They destroyed
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: Tampa Bay, had an eight-run inning. And an easy 10-1
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: win last night. They are one win away from claiming
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: the World Series. So with that, I'm going to leapfrog
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: into some Mariners managerial search talk next with Anders. Have
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: we reached the point in this mystery search that we're
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: more intrigued by what's going on behind the scenes or
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: concerned with what's going on behind the scenes? We'll discuss
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: it next. Sports Radio 93.3 KJRFM. We'll be right back. Hey,
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: great morning to you. Great Tuesday. It is Chuck. It
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: is Anders. It is Christopher Kidd with you. We're going
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: to empty the notebook a little bit later on this hour.
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: Greg Bell will join us at 7.05. Everett Fitzhugh will
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: be with us at 8.30. Forgot to mention him in
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: the Once on Tap portion of the first segment. And
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: it is a Kraken Ticket Tuesday. We've already played the
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: sounder once, but keep listening every single hour. We will
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: play that piece of audio that will prompt you to
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: call us at 206-286-9595. And you can win a pair
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: of tickets to see the Kraken in action live at
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: Climate Pledge Arena. The game that we'll play for today
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: will be on November 4th against the Calgary Flames. Not
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: in Calgary. Here in Seattle against the Calgary Flames.
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: I mean, we're not going to send you to Calgary. No,
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: we're not. To watch Calgary.
• 23:25
  Speaker 3: No.
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: Why would you do that? Right. We're going to ride
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: down the road from here. Climate Pledge Arena. Exactly. You'll
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: get to see the Calgary Flames. All right, let's talk
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: some baseball a little bit. There are a few things
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: I want to talk about in baseball, but I think
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: we'll have to limit it today to this. The managerial
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: search for the Mariners is ongoing. There should be zero
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: reason to panic at this point. Plenty of teams let
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: the World Series play out, and then they may want
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: to talk to somebody on the two World Series coaching staffs,
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: for example. And so, I mean, there's no rush. I
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: think it has to be done before December 2nd when
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: the owners end up locking out the players. I think
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: that has to be done by then, but that's a
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: good month and a week. So five and a half
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: weeks before you have to worry about that. So you're
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: in no rush, but undeniably, as I look at the landscape,
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: there is a little bit of concern that's starting to
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: creep in. Or do you consider it intrigue? I mean,
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: they're labeling it, the guys that follow the team on
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: a daily basis, as the mystery. There's so many mysteries
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: to this team. There are mystery coaches who are they
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: are entertaining and they'll never tell us about maybe the
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: guys that we know about the Espada's and Kanzler's and Baldelli's.
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: Maybe they were never even real contenders. Maybe those are
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: the ones that Jerry and Justin and John wanted us
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: to be discussing. You know, it's the old Lance Burton.
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: I'm going to surprise you over here with a pigeon. Right.
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: And then you're going to miss the trick that I did, uh,
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: with my left hand and, uh, and wowed the crowd with,
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: because I may, I summoned the statue of Liberty or whatever. Um,
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: So maybe it is just sleight of hand. Maybe it
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: is just kind of throwing us off what they're actually intending.
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: But the mystery is going to lead you in two lands.
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: You're either intrigued by it or you're concerned by it.
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: Where are you?
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: I'm intrigued. I mean, it's always the unknown. I choose
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: to be excited about what could happen, especially when the
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: position that the Mariners are in right now. Yes, we
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: had a disappointing season last year, but I still believe
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: this roster is good enough to Go far in the playoffs.
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: And we've seen it happen. I think a manager would
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: come in and, you know, do the right things. And
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: it makes it makes me almost a little bit feel
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: better about the situation that they're kind of taking their
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: time a little bit. I was think just now, as
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: you were mentioning that, I was like, OK, what about
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: the other vacancies around Major League Baseball? First of all,
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: you know, the other two. They're in our division, both
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: of them. All three of our... Houston? Yeah, Houston and L.A.
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: But both of those guys have to hire general managers first.
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: So that's kind of where they're at. The Mariners are
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: in kind of the driving seat here with basically can
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: get who they want because they have that spot currently
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: filled by Jerry DiPoto and Justin Hollander. So I do
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: think there is some intrigue based off of the rumors.
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: Do we believe the rumors?
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: I honestly think it's going to be someone completely out
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: of left field.
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: No one's talking about it. Well, and this is kind
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: of what concerns me because I am more concerned. You
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: are concerned. I am concerned. And certainly there's a level
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: of intrigue. I can't wait to find out who the
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: manager is. Here's where the level of concern is. The
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: names being thrown around right now are not going to
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: do anything for this fan base. Joe Espada, we're really
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: going to take the failed manager away. of our rival. Really?
• 27:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: And then Kanzler's even worse. No experience whatsoever on the
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: staff of the failed manager of our rival. And then
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: when Rocco Baldelli, whatever his reasons are, turns you down,
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: I mean, that's not even a name that's going to
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: do a lot for our fan base. He has some
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: managerial experience, and he's had... A little bit of success.
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: But that's not somebody wearing rings.
• 27:36
  Speaker 3: No.
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: That's not somebody hanging banners. That's not the missing piece.
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean? Well, I mean, maybe it is.
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: Maybe it is. That's not the point.
• 27:45
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: It could be the missing piece. My point is, no
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: matter who they hire in this process, it's going to
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: disappoint the fan base. We already have discussed this in
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: the offseason. I want them to get somebody with experience.
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: That list is not that impressive. Available, experienced Major League managers?
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's like Brandon Hyde because he had a
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: couple of breakthrough years with the Baltimore Orioles and then
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: completely fell on his face the following year when they
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: had expectations. When they finally had expectations, he didn't do anything.
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: They fell on their face completely and they haven't recovered.
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: Rocco Baldelli, like I said, some experience.
• 28:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: A little bit of success, but that's not going to
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: move the needle with our fan base. And the guys
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: that are the best, the guys that you have heard of,
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: the household names, there aren't a lot of them, and
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: they're not available. And it doesn't sound to me like
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: the organization's willing to trade players in order to get
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: a Stephen Vogt or a Kevin Cash and Pat Murphy.
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: That's just not happening. So, I think whoever they end
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: up with, you might be right. Maybe they do take
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: somebody completely out of left field. Well, that's going to
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: piss people off because that starts the whole, oh, you
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: just got another puppet. That degree to somebody, even though
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: nobody knows that, that's going to be the reaction. And
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: even if they do get someone, even if they do
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: try to avoid that accusation, they're going to hire a
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: manager that doesn't move the needle here in town. And
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: they have really no chance of coming away. In my opinion,
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: by landing someone that people will actually laud, you know,
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: Baldelli was a shot at it because there's a little
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: bit there. There's a little bit of that stuff that
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: we all said we wanted from the next mariners manager
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: but i'm kind of with you i think they're going
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: to look at those candidates with managerial experience, not be
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: impressed by them, and then go with their gut again
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: on somebody with zero managerial experience and they will be
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: trashed from here to kingdom come.
• 30:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: And I mean, there is one home run option and
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: it's really, it's Steven Vogt. And you would have to
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: be willing to trade to do that. And I just
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: don't know if they are. I think you mentioned that
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: just a second ago.
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: Well, if you have to be willing to trade, he
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: has to be willing to. He has to be interested
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: in doing it. The Guardians, who knows what kind of
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: a hard bargain they're going to drive. And I don't
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: even know. Maybe Jerry, it's just completely against his philosophy.
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: I don't need to trade players for a manager. I'll
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: find a manager.
• 30:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: I don't know. There's a lot of hurdles to clear.
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: It is. Stephen Vogt wins the day. Yeah. Kevin Cash
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: would win the day.
• 30:38
  Speaker 3: Oh, yes.
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: But we're talking about the two best managers, two of
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: the three best managers in the sport right now. So
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: there's my concern level. My concern level is they're going
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: to look at those with experience and the list is
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: not that impressive. And they're going to say, I don't
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: want to hire somebody just for a PR splash, just
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: so that some people will be satisfied when I know
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: a lot of people won't, no matter what we do. Exactly.
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: So we might as well go with our gut and
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: we might as well get the guy that we think
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: is the next big deal. And the moment that you
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: do that, that comes with all sorts of other criticism.
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: Because if they hired this Kanzler guy, I got nothing
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: for you. I got nothing. You know, I mean, I'm
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: supposed to, you know, they labeled me the baseball guy
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: because I studied the whole league. I know the whole league.
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: I know nothing about this guy. If they go with him,
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: that's a total roll of the dice as far as
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: I'm concerned. And when you are blaming last season's failure
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: on a manager and a culture and a coaching staff,
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: do you know how much more important that makes nailing
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: this pick and to just roll the dice on a
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: complete unknown, which is probably where they're going to land?
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: is not going to go over well batting down the
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: hatches yep here comes the pr storm if that's what
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: you do i personally don't care get the right guy
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: because whoever you get experienced or inexperienced they could be
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: the missing piece but they have to be the missing
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: piece You have to win this year. Otherwise, you've got
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: to blow the whole thing up, and I don't want
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: to see that happen. I really don't. Too much good
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: work has been done with this roster to do that.
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: All right, coming up next, we're going to empty the notebook.
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: Sports Radio 93.3 KJR FM. Probably can't invite the Finns.
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: They don't understand what's going on.
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: They don't.
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: Probably had to get an American guy. Yeah, not Canadians either.
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: They were like, why is the field so short? Why
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: doesn't the touchdown go behind the field goal post? Weird. Yeah.
• 32:54
  Speaker 3: Wow.
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: Where are the Rough Riders? I also noticed, because Sunday nights,
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: they used to be that they all would have the
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: players do the intros and do the college where they
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: were from. And now they only do it on Sunday
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: night football. Um, and something that always strikes me, every
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: single Ohio state Buckeye, they will never say where they're
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: from the high school they played for, or make some
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: sort of joke about being the best in the nation
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: or whatever they can. They all to a man start
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: watching it. We'll say the Ohio state university. And that
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: shows you why that program so solid for so long.
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah. Yeah. That's a really good indication because everybody
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: that played there is proud enough. There is an agreement. Yep. Now,
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: I think Miami does the same thing. The U, they
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: always do the U.
• 33:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: But there is an agreement among Buckeye alums that you
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: will say the Ohio State University when you're on the
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: Sunday night football. Yeah.
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: That will happen, or you will be shunned. If you're
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: an alum from that place, you're proud to be an alum.
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: I think it's impressive. Yeah, I do too.
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: Darnold, two successful scrambles for first downs. I mentioned this
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: last week when we were doing this. I'd like to
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: see more of that from him. He's a much better runner.
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: than he's given credit for. And sure, you don't want
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: him to run recklessly, but I could use more than
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: two runs per game from Sam Darnold, especially in that situation.
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: They don't ever have to be designed, but he's got
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: a good sense for... where the gap is, and he's
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: got pretty good athleticism too.
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: I think if nothing else, it would kind of take
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: away from his picks because a lot of his interceptions
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: are coming from him rolling out and trying to make
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: a play. But if he just takes the six, seven,
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: eight yards that he can scramble for, that takes away
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: a lot of the turnovers.
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: How about Dixon's helicopter punt? We didn't talk about that yesterday.
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: Was that not one of the coolest things you've ever...
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: I mean, we always hear about Dixon and his tricks
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: that he does, but no one ever really isolates it
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: in the broadcast. Mike Tirico, who is fantastic. The best.
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: And he does... His homework that he does just laps
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: the field. And he was ready for that, and he
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: saw it, and then he decided, we're going to make
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: a big deal out of this. And they... came back
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: from the break, and they showed how that thing twisted
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: and turned. Hopefully it gave people an indication of what
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: professional football players make look so easy because you and
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: I aren't catching that helicopter punt. Going sideways. Yeah, going sideways.
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: I loved it. They did that.
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: Did you see that the Chiefs also had to put
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: two return men back in order to adjust for it?
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: Because if it goes this way, this person catches it.
• 35:41
  Speaker 2: If it goes this way, this person catches it. They
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: had to take a person off of the line to
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: adjust for Michael Dixon's punt style.
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: We should know more about that. We should get more
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: insight into that. We need an Aussie football player to
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: come on and teach us. Well, we need a broadcaster
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: that can... can point that out more frequently because sometimes
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: they just punt it and then that's all that's said
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: and done. Oh, and it's down at the 12. I'd
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: like to see what he did. I'd like to see
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: them on every punt show what he tried to do
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: and what kind of crazy action was on the ball
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: because I thought that was cool. A couple of other things. Quickly,
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: I don't know if people noticed this, but there were
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: back-to-back-to-back-to-back plays defensively where the Seahawks defense was completely disorganized.
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: They had to take a timeout at one point. Um, they, uh,
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: completed a pass at one point. Uh, no, no, no.
• 36:31
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: They're two short passes. They completed where the defense was
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: totally confused. They were in the wrong places and everything.
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: Even worry at a pass breakup. And then they had
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: that third and seven play where my homes found Kelsey,
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: where they showed the Hawks defense. They weren't even ready.
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: They weren't even lined up. That was like four plays
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: in a row. And the chiefs still only got three
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: points on that drive.
• 36:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: That's how good the Seahawks' defense is, that they can
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: be completely disorganized for four plays in a row, have
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: to call a timeout because of it, and be completely
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: misaligned for a first-down catch and still only give up
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: three points on the drive. They didn't even get to
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: the red zone.
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: It was a 50-yard field goal. Isn't that crazy? Yeah. Finally,
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: I've got to mention this. Chris Collinsworth, he sort of
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: misspoke about it, but it came off, I thought, pretty funny.
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: He was talking about A.J. Barner with the sneak being back.
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: Three successful A.J. barnyards, people are calling them. But he said,
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: tushes of pushes. And I'm like, that is so Dr. Seussian.
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: So I wrote a little Dr. Seuss poem for you. Oh,
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: here we go. To celebrate A.J. Barner's sneak being back
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: in the Seahawks fold. The Seahawks gave us tushes of pushes. Barner,
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: he tushed them. And the Hoos, they pushed him. Was
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: it once they pushed his tush? More than twice the
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: tush was pushed. There were pushes to tushes in the bushes,
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: pushes to tushes that made whooshes. Pushes and zaknooshes, tushes
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: wearing galushes. Surely Sunday night there were tushes and tushes
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: and tushes of pushes. Well done. Well done. Well done.
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: Headlines next on KJR.
