• 0:48
  Speaker 2: going to get you ready for everything that happens this
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: weekend in the football world. We might even slip in
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: some other sports in there. Like ring toss, maybe. Or,
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: you know, rhythmic gymnastics. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Synchronized diving? Synchronized
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: diving sounds like a great idea. Let me write that
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: down for 8.30. I was wondering what we were going
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: to do there. That would be a good thing to have. Yeah.
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: So welcome into the radio program. It's good to be
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: with you. My name is Chuck Powell. Anders Hurst is
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: here as well. So is Travis Moger as we get
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: things started on this Friday. And a lot to discuss, certainly.
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: But I can't get over the fact that I feel
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: like I have damp pants today. I hate damp pants.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: Oh, I hate damp pants. There's... I don't know.
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: One of the randomest questions you always get is, would
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: you rather be too dry or too wet? And I
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: always kind of... struggle to find out which one I
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: would prefer because every time I feel one, I'm like, damn,
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: I'd way rather be the other one.
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: Who's asked you this? That's an interesting question. That's a
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: pretty easy one, too. I'd much rather be too dry
• 1:57
  Speaker 4: than too wet. I mean, maybe for like a moment,
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: I'd rather be too wet than too dry, but over
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: the course of a period of time. Nobody wants to
• 2:05
  Speaker 4: feel wet for a long period of time. That's why
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: we dry off.
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: That's true. So that's why I can't stand damp pants.
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: And I don't even know how they got damp. Are
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: your pants damp on the inside or the outside? No,
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: it just feels like they're damp. When I put them on,
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: it feels like they're damp. And I don't even know
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: how they could have even gotten damp. I have no idea.
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: I wasn't out in the rain. Yeah, no, it's not
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: raining right now. No, I was in a garage. In
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: the car, in a garage, up an elevator, and here.
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: Where did they get damp? How did they get damp?
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: It's very humid in here. You think so? No, this
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: has happened from when I left the house, apparently. They've
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: been damp all morning long. The moment I put them on,
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: I'm like, these feel damp. But I didn't have time
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: to change them. You know, someone knew that you.
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: feel strongly about maybe the um unicorn damp levis the.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: Unicorn unicorn has sabotaged me.
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: The dampness of your pants and they this is a
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: premeditated um attack.
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: Oh i've always felt she was gonna murder me in
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: my sleep.
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: This is just the it's it's her it could be
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: anyone no it couldn't be anyone it could only be
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: her someone could break into your house and say hey
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: yeah I know this is what's going to bother him
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: the most.
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: I'm going to make his pants damp. It pretty much
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: does bother me the most. They could have stolen my
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: money or my car. I'd much prefer that. You snuck
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: into my house late at night and dampened my pants.
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: You evil, cruel bastard. Now I know what I'm doing
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: to you. But I was running late this morning because
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: for some reason... And this is the fog that we
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: sort of live in, just to warn you about mornings.
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: For some reason, I'm sitting there and I'm like, man,
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: it feels like I should be doing something for the
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: show more than just browsing the internet and making sure
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: that I didn't miss something. And at one point, I
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: even went down a rabbit hole for like 10 minutes
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: on when is George R.R. Martin finally going to finish
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: his book, the next book. So I ended up on
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: that for like 10 minutes trying to find out when
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: is this going to get done. Because for whatever reason
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: on Twitter, that if you focus on one frame for
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: more than a second and a half, The entire algorithm thinks, oh,
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: this guy, this is all he wants to watch. This
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: is all he wants to see. He's just interested in
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: Game of Thrones and there's nothing else in the world
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: that he would be interested in. So every other thing,
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: post he's going to get is Game of Thrones. And
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: so it has forced me because I spent like five
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: seconds on it yesterday. I woke up this morning and
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: it forced me to see nothing but Game of Thrones stuff.
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: So I'm like down this rabbit hole, like trying to
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: find out when is this book going to be done?
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: That's why I thought I was getting all of these posts.
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: I thought that there was like news. Maybe there's an
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: update on this and it's now coming out. And that's
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: why they're, nope. He still is dragging his feet on it.
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: And he's worse than Adam Silver. And so anyway, so
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: all of a sudden I'm like, I get up to
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: go to the bathroom and I'm like, man, I'm going
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: to be early. And it dawns on me, I have
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: not written the Ocho yet. Oh, he forgot something. He
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: forgot something. So, yes, I had to then put together
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: an Ocho real fast, which is not nearly as thorough
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: as it typically is, so that we could do that
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: at 8 o'clock. So I had to scramble for that.
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: Now I'm suddenly late. I went from being early to
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: now I'm late. And then I had to just throw
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: on pants, and I didn't even realize until I was
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: down the hallway that they're damp. Yeah. And I don't
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: know how they got damp. Well, I'm telling you, preconceived. Yeah, maybe. Anyway,
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: that's the long and short of it there. Well, great
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: morning to you. We will have the Ocho come in
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: your way today at 8 o'clock. Part of that Ocho
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: will be the Thursday night football game last night that
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: featured the Detroit Lions and the Buffalo Bills. And maybe
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: defense just won't figure out offense this season. because the
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: Buffalo Bills made it really easy against Detroit's defense. Too easy.
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: It felt like they could just call their number last night.
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: They scored a touchdown on every drive in the first half.
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: It felt like the Lions were never really in it.
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: It ended up being a 10-point spread, but it was
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: worse than that. And Josh Allen... absolutely is playing some
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: fabulous football to start this brand new season.
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah, for me, with the Bills, the last few years,
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: I've always been like, yeah, I know Josh Allen's probably
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: the best quarterback in the league, and you can carry
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: them to any win. But in terms of taking them
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: super seriously as a Super Bowl contender, I always thought
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: the conservative nature of Sean McDermott being a defensive-minded head coach,
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: I don't want to say held them back, but it
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: was kind of at odds with having the best quarterback
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: in the league. And now with Joe Brady, I know
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: he's been the play caller there, so it's not like
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: the play calling itself has changed, but you could tell
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: the identity of that team is now, okay, we're leaning
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: into we have the best quarterback quarterback in the league,
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: and we can score with anyone. And we're going to
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: be aggressive. Even when we're up by 10 points, we're
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: still going to be aggressive. And I think it really
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: adds to their kind of aura and their likelihood to
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: be one of the best teams in the NFL this year.
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: So it's impressive what they've done. Now, again, the Lions defense,
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: I was more in the belief they were the team of.
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: Going up 21-0 against the Saints instead of the team
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: that gave up 21 straight points to the Saints. But
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: it looks like they're the team that gave up 21
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: straight points to the Saints. That is more likely who
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: they're going to look like this year because they couldn't
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: stop a leaky faucet yesterday.
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: Well, that's more than a leaky faucet. I mean, maybe
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: they can stop other teams, but they couldn't stop Josh
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: Allen last night. There's no question about it. And it's
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: very interesting because I don't know if I've ever heard
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: more effusive praise for a player who's been regularly praised
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: as highly as Josh Allen's been the last few years.
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: I mean, listening last night to the post-game analysis, waking
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: up this morning to people buzzing about it, listening on
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: the drive-in, they're acting like he's never played better football
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: than he's playing in his first two games so far
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: this season. And yet... the last game that he played,
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: I thought was the lowest point of his entire career.
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: Forget about that horrible, was it Houston playoff game early
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: in his career when he first cracked into the playoffs
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: and I think he committed like five turnovers and people
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: were wondering, what's the hype about with this guy? He's terrible.
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: But that was part of his growing process. I thought
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: the way he played Because he's the reason they got
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: eliminated from the playoffs last year. It wasn't anything else.
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: It wasn't Sean McDermott. It was not Joe Brady. It
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: wasn't defense. He played a terrible game in the playoffs.
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: At the worst moment. When they rely on him to
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: play well. They were entirely reliant on him to play
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: great football if they were going to get to the
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: Super Bowl. Because that's how, I mean, they are deficient
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: in some areas as a roster. And so you rely
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: on league MVP, Superman, arguably best quarterback in the league,
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: maybe inarguably best quarterback in the league right now. to
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: carry you in those moments. And he played like he
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: played horribly. in that game and i thought that was
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: the lowest point of the josh allen career because in
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: my opinion it's like i realize you're carrying a monkey
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: on your back that you got to win the super
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: bowl and you got to win it soon or that
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: monkey's going to turn into a gorilla and i thought
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: it turned into a gorilla yeah So for us to
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: be two games into the regular season and talking about
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: maybe more praise for Josh Allen at any point in
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: his career, the way he's playing right now, removed from
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: what I thought was his all-time low, I think that's
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: an interesting turn of events that has taken place already
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: this season in the National Football League. And he might
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: go out there and put together his dream regular season.
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: But he's still carrying that gorilla. Absolutely. I mean, the
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: pressure for him to win in the playoffs mounts every
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: single year until he wins a Super Bowl or at
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: least gets to a Super Bowl. And so, yeah, maybe
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: we are. Maybe we're in store for a really high-scoring
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: season this year in the National Football League. And maybe
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: the Buffalo Bills are going to be unstoppable. And maybe
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: Josh Allen is getting ready to create his greatest symphony
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: yet this upcoming season. But that thing still looms in
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: the back of his mind. He's got to win the
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: Super Bowl. Otherwise, that gorilla is going to weigh him down.
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, it's the same thing with Lamar Jackson,
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: kind of the way you're thinking about that, right? Because
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: these guys have been so dominant during the regular season,
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: but then for whatever reason in the playoffs, they look
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: like a different player.
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: And And he's had great playoff games individually, too. I mean,
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: he's had games he should have won, and his team
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: let him down.
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but there's been moments where it's like, man, we
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: need you, we rely on you. And you can't come through.
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: It's almost the anti-Sam Darnold, right?
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: Well, that's just it. He had been coming through and
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: his team was letting him down. That's why I think
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: that that was the low point. Because we would always
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: say about Josh Allen, man, he played good enough to
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: win that game. My goodness, did you just let Mahomes
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: and Kelsey go down the field in six seconds?
• 12:20
  Speaker 5: Yep.
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: And get into field goal range and beat you, Josh
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: Allen deserved better. Since that Houston game, it felt like
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: he had always done his part to win. That's why
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: I think that that loss was so crippling to his
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: legacy and to his career. goal of achieving super bowl
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: championship because for the first time his season ended and
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: it was his fault right like their season ended last
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: year and i know they fired sean mcdermott they were
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: never going to fire josh allen but they got knocked
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: out of the playoffs because josh allen didn't play well
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: and the patriots and the broncos were not worthy of
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: the afc title a year ago i know they had
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: very good regular seasons but they were not worthy of
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: the afc championship That was Buffalo's tournament to win. And
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: Josh Allen's the reason that they didn't get past the
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: second round of the playoffs. And that's why I think
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: it's such a heavy burden that he's carrying into this season.
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: But regular season-wise... Don't tell anybody Josh Allen's going to
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: have any problems this year. Nope. Because he might be
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: playing his best football right now.
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think I've been more impressed now. I realize
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: they've played two games, and no one else has. But
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: I've been more impressed with the Buffalo Bills offense than
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: the Chicago Bears offense, personally. And I know they just
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: ran up the score. It scored 59 points, and everyone's
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: loving the Caleb Williams-Ben Johnson marriage at this point, but...
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: To me, just the efficiency. They scored... At one point
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: in the game, they had 33 first downs on 65 plays.
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: Do you know how insane that is? That's over half
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: of the plays that you're running. You're getting a first down.
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: That is incredible efficiency. It's explosiveness. It's creative play calling.
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: They have a run game with James Cook. Their weapons looked,
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: even when DJ Moore went down, you saw a little
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: bit more from Khalil Shakir and Keon Coleman last night
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: and their tight ends, man. Oh my God. Adding Dawson
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: Knox to that team. They, they know exactly.
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: Well, he's been on that team. Right.
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: But they, they just know how exactly how to get
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: the right play call in the right situation, get it
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: to the right play playmaker and, as well, and then
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: they use Josh Allen's feet whenever the... None of that
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: works out, and that's a pretty good bet itself.
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: Well, I don't want to sound cold, and I don't
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: want to go over the top, but Dalton Kincaid can
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: go straight to hell. Are you playing against him? No!
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: I've had him for the last two years and believed
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: in him the last two years and invested too high
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: of a draft pick in him two years in a row,
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: and then I'm like, I am never going to get
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: in the Dalton Kincaid business ever again, and now he
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: looks like he's about ready to be who I always
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: thought he was going to be. Probably the best tight
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: end in the league.
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: So, yeah.
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: And I I mean, I'm trying not to be too harsh,
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: but he can rotten hell.
• 15:16
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: All right. I think that's a fair bar.
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: You don't want to go too over the top. Yeah,
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: I don't want to go over the top about it.
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: I'm just saying that he can rotten hell. Yeah.
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: That's all I'm saying. As someone who's going against Josh
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: Allen in fantasy, he could probably go rot in hell, too.
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I went in last night with Jameson Williams against
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: Jameer Gibbs.
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: Oh, fun!
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: It's like taking a pencil to a gunfight. Jameson Williams
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: is a pencil, too. He is a pencil. And sometimes
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: he has great games, but... Yeah, not last night. Yeah,
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: he is a boomer bust player. There's no question about it.
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: Part of the problem is that Jared Goff never thinks
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: of him. It's true. I think he gets forced into
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: thinking about him at times. Yeah, it's like, oh, wait.
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: And then he's like, oh, yeah, you are pretty good,
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: and you're very fast. I'll keep throwing to you. That's
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: why he's boomer bust. But if you don't tell Jared
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: Goff that Jamison Williams is on his team... He'll just
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: throw to 14 every single time. And I love that,
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: being a 14 owner. I love that. All right. Well,
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: I was going to try to squeeze Drew Locke into
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: this conversation as well, but we went further with Damp
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: Pants and Josh Allen than I was. And Dalton Kakei
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: burning in hell, too. Yeah, that also factored into the
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: first segment. uh so we will uh we'll save that
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: conversation about drew lock for a little bit later on
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: in the show because i think there's a really big
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: conversation to have about drew lock uh here today as
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: he gets ready to face the cardinals on sunday uh
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: let's find out what's on tap for the rest of
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: our show.
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: This is what's on tap brought to you by emerald

• 17:15
  Speaker 2: Uh bills 41 lions 31 the uh final score um
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: not even really that close uh much to uh anders
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: shiguran i know uh so we will play factor fiction
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: as a slumping show right now um i mean people
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: have been talking about how unstoppable we're going to be
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: now we're the rams yeah um i mean they i
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: think I think it's the reason that Calkins didn't stay
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: at the Seattle Times. Yeah, he wanted to write about
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: how unstoppable we were going to be, and they didn't
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: let him. Well, it didn't fit their narrative.
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: They couldn't give us praise.
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: So he was like, well, forget it. Oh, yeah. But, yes,
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: we were supposed to be a dream team, but we're
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: off to a rough start so far this season. We'll
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: try to turn that around today. at 7.35 here this morning.
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: Seahawks at Cardinal Sunday at 1.25. We will have Greg
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: Bell on at 7.05 this morning. Hugh Millen at 9 o'clock.
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: That's a Friday ritual around these here parts. Our Seahawks
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: insider giving us the latest information, including injury information on
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: Nick Emanwari coming up at 7.05. And then the X's
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: and O's breakdown with Hugh Millen as we do every Friday.
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: NFL Sunday, a lot of good games. I think it's
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: a better slate of games this week than we had
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: in week number one. If I were to pick out
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: an all-star lineup, I'd go Cincinnati and Houston as the
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: early game that I'd watch if I could only watch
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: one game. The afternoon game, let's take us out of
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: the equation. Let's go Jacksonville at Denver. I think that's
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: going to be a terrific game. And then Sunday night,
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: you've got Indianapolis at Kansas City, and we don't have
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: any choice but to watch that game. Great. So that's
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: the lineup for Sunday. College football, it's not a great
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: slate in college football this weekend, but there is one
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: great game, and I think it is the best game
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: of the entire season so far. And that's all the
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: drama that gets shoved into this Ole Miss-LSU matchup tomorrow
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: at 4.30.
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, it's like that Doctor Strange meme. There's
• 19:23
  Speaker 3: one game, one game to follow on college football this weekend. Yeah,
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: it's going to be a great one. I mean, the— God,
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: now I'm blanking on the LSU quarterback's name.
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: Sam Leavitt. Yeah, Leavitt.
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: Like, the whole— with that, if he's going to play,
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: if he's going to magically change from doubtful.
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: To, oh, I'm all fixed now. He's already been upgraded.
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: He's already been upgraded to questionable since we talked about
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: it yesterday. Of course, yeah. Yeah, so doubtful to questionable,
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: and we still don't even know what it is that
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: he's battling at this point. Undisclosed. Right, but Ole Miss
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: LSU 430. We're going to hear from Rick Neuheisel in
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: case you missed it coming up later this hour. We
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: also have the Huskies, of course, 415 tomorrow evening. taking
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: on Eastern Washington. And the big story there is, man,
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: if you get held to 20 points again by Eastern Washington,
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: then do you even have a shot to compete this
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: year in the Big Ten with an offense that's struggling
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: that much and cannot get on the right path? So
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: we'll discuss that a little bit later on in the show. Again,
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: Duquesne will take on the Cougs as well tomorrow. And
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: then we'll do our Big Ten preview today at 845,
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: including our Big Ten pickups. Sounders will be in Colorado.
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: They'll play tomorrow at 630 without their leading scorer, Paul Rothrock.
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: Maybe they don't need him as much with Dayon now
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: on the team, but it'd be nice to have them both. Yep.
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: But they'll find out tomorrow in Colorado at 630. They
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: can go to breakfast with the Mariners. The Mariners are
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: also in Colorado for the weekend. Perfect. They'll play tonight
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: at 515. Brian Wu versus Gabriel Hughes is the pitching
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: matchup there. And the Kraken, they have their preseason opener
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: tomorrow at 6 o'clock against the Vancouver Canucks. And we
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: will talk a little bit of Kraken hockey today because now, officially,
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: we are done with the offseason and camp. Now we
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: are to the preseason, and it's very clear that That
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: big shakeup the Kraken told us was going to occur
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: is not going to occur. So we're going to discuss
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: that a little bit later on in the show. But
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: coming up next, in case you missed it, Rick Neuheisel
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: with us every Tuesday at 9 o'clock. And we'll replay
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: some of that for you as we get ready for
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: the college football weekend. Sports Radio 93.3 KJRFM. Now back
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: to the.
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: Washington State Beef Commission's Football Friday with Chuck in the
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: Morning on your home for the NFL.
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: Sports Radio 93.3 KJR FM. Isn't that strange? If you
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: didn't know, we did a little change-up here in the mornings.
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: Anders is with us. Ashley's gone to the Ian Furness
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: radio program, and it's never sounded better. Yeah, that's true.
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: Upgrade for Ian. But isn't it strange? When we talk
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: college football, we've got Travis Moger here as well. Both
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: Travis and Ashley go to the drums when it comes
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: to college football. I always play the drums. I mean,
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: I picture... I love playing the drums. I picture drums.
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: You picture drums when you're in college football? Yeah, it's like...
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: It's a drum line. It just goes... You go straight
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: to that, huh? Yeah. Sure. Yeah. Makes sense. Maybe that's
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: the common way to think about it. Well, and... I'm
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: not saying it's wrong.
• 22:48
  Speaker 6: No, no.
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm not criticizing it. It's just, to me, I
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: thought that was interesting that Travis goes to the drums
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: when we... When he plays music when we get ready
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: to talk college football. Well, yeah.
• 23:00
  Speaker 3: Maybe this was implanted in my brain, but when you
• 23:03
  Speaker 3: open the college football video game, EA Sports College Football,
• 23:06
  Speaker 3: it's just drums.
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: Like this, basically. I guess so.
• 23:10
  Speaker 4: Huh.
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: That's interesting. I'd like that to be like a family
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: feud question.
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: When you think of college football, what is the first
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: thing that comes to mind? What's the first sound? Drums. Interesting.
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: I like it. Yeah. All right, let's talk some college
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: football here, or I could throw you completely off and
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: talk hockey after that build-up, after that lead-up. All right,
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: let's talk about the Kraken's preseason here. I would have
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: totally played other music. Yeah, we would have played the
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: Kraken audio network theme. Drums don't go with hockey, you idiot.
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: You can't play drums on ice. It's true. Rick Neuheisel
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: normally joins us every Tuesday at 9 o'clock, and he
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: did again this week. And so we always replay some
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: of Coach Neuheisel's conversation with us at some point during
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: the course of the week. And here you go. This
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: is that portion of the show where we're going to
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: replay it in case you missed it. We can't play
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: the entire 20-minute interview, but you can find that at 93.3kjar.com.
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: We're only going to play a few minutes, and certainly
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: I wanted to touch upon that. his thoughts about the
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: Huskies and its offense. Rick Neuheisel knows Jed Fish personally.
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: He knows how proud he is of his own offensive mind.
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: And I asked Coach, how much do you think it
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: is bothering Coach Fish that it's his offense that can't
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: get going this year?
• 24:37
  Speaker 6: I'm sure it's confounding him. You know, the running game
• 24:42
  Speaker 6: fuels everything. Everything's easier when a team can't stop your
• 24:47
  Speaker 6: running game because they have to add resources from their
• 24:52
  Speaker 6: back end to get that fixed. And in so doing,
• 24:56
  Speaker 6: that creates all sorts of air in the back end
• 24:58
  Speaker 6: and it makes it fun as a play caller. I
• 25:01
  Speaker 6: never will forget the world that was open to me
• 25:06
  Speaker 6: when Marcus Tuiasosopo all of a sudden introduced the beer.
• 25:11
  Speaker 6: Because we asked him. Because we realized having lost to
• 25:14
  Speaker 6: BYU and the Air Force, we were stuck. And we
• 25:18
  Speaker 6: put the beer in, and the world changed. We won
• 25:21
  Speaker 6: 20 of our next 24. I think DeMond and the
• 25:26
  Speaker 6: quarterback run game has to be more featured to help
• 25:29
  Speaker 6: the rest of the run game rather than vice versa.
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: I agree.
• 25:33
  Speaker 6: And until they do that, I think they're going to struggle.
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but Marcus was built like a brick house. Can
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: you do it with someone as small as DeMond? Can
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: you put that on him?
• 25:44
  Speaker 6: You can. You just have to be– Marcus, we could
• 25:48
  Speaker 6: run inside. So on a veer, you're handing the ball
• 25:53
  Speaker 6: off to the fullback and Conniff takes it in there,
• 25:55
  Speaker 6: and if they squeeze, Marcus keeps it, and now you're
• 25:58
  Speaker 6: pitching off a player. With DeMond, you're going to want
• 26:02
  Speaker 6: to make sure that he's the– outside guy rather than
• 26:08
  Speaker 6: almost the pitch guy so the inside uh is the
• 26:11
  Speaker 6: is the bigger player and so that you keep them
• 26:14
  Speaker 6: on from having too many big hits but quarterback runs
• 26:17
  Speaker 6: got to be featured in this if if they're going
• 26:20
  Speaker 6: to get this fixed because right now uh their running
• 26:22
  Speaker 6: game isn't good enough to get them to the college
• 26:24
  Speaker 6: football playoff.
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah no no doubt i mean it's They got to
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: show a lot of improvement to be thinking about that.
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: Rick Neuheisel is with us. Our college football insider joins
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: us every Tuesday to talk some college football. Thanks to delicious,
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: delicious taco time. All right. Speaking of delicious, I mean,
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: this is, this to me, this is better than Texas,
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: Ohio State, frankly. Ole Miss, LSU.
• 26:47
  Speaker 6: You want to get a little late? You want to
• 26:49
  Speaker 6: make a lane change here is what you're telling me?
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: Uh, and I agree. He's very funny and his ads,
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: he's been very great in them. Um, maybe the league didn't,
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: maybe college football didn't need a heel. Maybe he's fulfilling
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: a role right now, but I want him to lose
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: by 50 to Ole Miss on Saturday. Anything, any chance
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: that could happen?
• 27:10
  Speaker 6: Well, you and me both, because he beat me by
• 27:12
  Speaker 6: 50 one day. So I'd love to see that kind
• 27:18
  Speaker 6: of revenge. Uh, but, uh, I actually think Ole Miss
• 27:23
  Speaker 6: has a really good chance to win the game just
• 27:25
  Speaker 6: because I think the quarterback matchup favors Hottie Tottie. Trinidad
• 27:31
  Speaker 6: Chambliss is a hell of a player. I know he
• 27:33
  Speaker 6: started his career at Ferris State in D2, so everybody
• 27:37
  Speaker 6: kind of watered down what his real upside is, and
• 27:42
  Speaker 6: yet watching him play in the playoff game against Miami
• 27:46
  Speaker 6: last year, he was fantastic. And I think that he'll
• 27:51
  Speaker 6: be up for the game. Now, LSU's got a bunch
• 27:54
  Speaker 6: of dudes on defense. There's no question about that. But
• 27:58
  Speaker 6: Sam Leavitt, just know this. When he was at Arizona
• 28:01
  Speaker 6: State last year, they went and played at Mississippi State.
• 28:05
  Speaker 6: He threw for 80 yards. Now, and he had a D1,
• 28:09
  Speaker 6: I mean, a first-round wide receiver on that team. And
• 28:13
  Speaker 6: he had a couple of picks. He threw three picks
• 28:15
  Speaker 6: last week against La Tech. I.
• 28:19
  Speaker 6: I think it's going to be a great game, but
• 28:20
  Speaker 6: I'm going to take hottie-tottie.
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: Drums. Love that. Rick Neuheisel with us earlier this week. Again,
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: if you want to hear the entire conversation, do so
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: at 933KJR. com. It's sort of the Bills-Lions in season. It's
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: not a playoff game. It's not a conference championship game.
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: It's not the national championship game. Certainly that elevates, but
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: that elevates both teams. There's no way, no matter what
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: Lane Kiffin tells his team, that they can be as
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: motivated to win this game as Ole Miss. Just like
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: last night, there was nothing Dan Campbell could do to
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: motivate his team to be as fired up for playing
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: that game last night as what the Bills were naturally
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: going to be because they were introducing the brand new stadium.
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: They absolutely love their fan base. Yeah, they do. They
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: want to perform for those fans who are so fiercely
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: loyal to them. It was the fans' night. There was
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: no way Detroit was going to be able to bring
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: the passion to be great last night that Buffalo was
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: going to bring. And there's no way that Lane Kiffin
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: can get LSU, even though it's a great rivalry, and
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: even though it's a great game and a big matchup,
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: and they're going to be up. Don't get me wrong.
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: LSU's going to be fired up. But there's no way
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: Lane Kiffin can get his guys as fired up for
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: playing Ole Miss as what Pete Golding's going to get
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: his guys for facing Lane Kiffin. Yeah, I think.
• 29:57
  Speaker 3: Lane has his own ways of doing things, though. He
• 30:01
  Speaker 3: will find... Maybe it's not necessarily getting players up to
• 30:06
  Speaker 3: play a game, but it's more like finding little edges
• 30:09
  Speaker 3: in other places, whether it's taking the pressure off of
• 30:12
  Speaker 3: the players because he himself is putting himself into the
• 30:16
  Speaker 3: news cycle instead of this other stuff going on.
• 30:20
  Speaker 5: They.
• 30:22
  Speaker 3: He kind of lives in his own world in that way,
• 30:25
  Speaker 3: where it's like he kind of separates everything from like,
• 30:27
  Speaker 3: all right, it's us versus the world.
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: Let's go do this.
• 30:30
  Speaker 3: And I do think there's kind of an element of
• 30:33
  Speaker 3: that where he puts it out to his guys like, hey,
• 30:37
  Speaker 3: the entire world's rooting against us here.
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: Let's go. Still can't match what the passion that Ole
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: Miss is going to have for LSU. There's no way
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: to reach it. Like I said, he's going to have
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: his team fired up. to 10 to play this game.
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: But if there's a way to get to 10.2, that's
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: where Ole Miss is going to be. There's no way.
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: There's no way. And yet, LSU is going to have
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: the more talented team. And maybe they do have the
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: more creative coach. So they're going to need every angle
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: and edge that they can find to win this football game.
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: But Ole Miss has plenty of talent, too. Absolutely. And
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: they have the best football player on the field. And
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: this is Trinidad Chambliss' Heisman game right here. Trinidad Chambliss
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: goes out there, plays great, has to play great, and
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: leads them to a win over Lane Kiffin and LSU.
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: and he will put himself in the frontrunner seat for
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: the Heisman. He plays poorly, and he might not ever
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: make up that ground. So there is a lot at stake.
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: I think it's an amazing game. Such a good game.
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: I'm not sure I'm going to be more excited for
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: a college football game this year than I am for
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: this one, and I'm not sure I'm going to root
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: harder for a team than I'm going to root for
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: the Rebels in this game against LSU, and that includes
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: all Huskies games this season. I think that this is... uh,
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: fantastic cinema. And I got to give Lane Kiffin credit
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: because the villain tends to make the movie and the
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: villain's going to make the cinema on Saturday in Oxford.
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: And so, yeah, if that's his role in this college
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: football season, he's playing it well, because I know There's
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: nothing going to get in my way of watching this
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: football game.
• 32:15
  Speaker 3: That's very Hollywood Weekly of you to say the villain
• 32:18
  Speaker 3: makes the movie.
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: It's very true.
• 32:20
  Speaker 3: It's very true. You look at the best movies of
• 32:22
  Speaker 3: all time. They all have excellent villains, like compelling, scary.
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 32:29
  Speaker 3: So that's exactly the case here with Lane Kiffin and LSU.
• 32:33
  Speaker 3: I know football is an emotional game. So you look
• 32:36
  Speaker 3: at any sort of edge in that aspect. But there's
• 32:40
  Speaker 3: other ways to get an edge, too, without being the
• 32:42
  Speaker 3: more motivated team. You can just be the better team.
• 32:45
  Speaker 3: You can be the more prepared team. You can be
• 32:47
  Speaker 3: the more talented team. So I think that's kind of
• 32:50
  Speaker 3: the angle that Lane Kiffin and LSU will play.
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: But I'm with you.
• 32:53
  Speaker 3: I'm rooting for Ole Miss to kick their ass.
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: Coming up next, it's no cliche keys to victory. That's right.
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: We do it every Friday on a football Friday. Sports
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: Radio 93.3 KJRFM. Forgot to tell you about the No
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: Cliche song.
• 33:22
  Speaker 4: Oh.
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah. I don't even know what it is. I
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: think it's too late.
• 33:28
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: I think it's too late. We've got to get to it.
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: That's my man. That's my man. A lot of new stuff.
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: A lot of moving parts. Yeah, of course. You forget
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: how many things are part of your show. Right. You
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: forget how many things you have to pass along.
• 33:41
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: So we apologize for not putting our hands up for
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: No Cliche Keys to Victory. Hopefully it doesn't cost the
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: team the game. Ashley would think that it would.
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah. The fact that we didn't play the hands up song. No.
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: She probably would believe that we were going to ruin
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: the season. Yeah. So here we go. No cliché keys
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: to victory here on this Friday. We've got headlines at
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: the top of the hour, and Greg Bell will join
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: us at 7.05. We go around the room. Everybody's got
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: to come up with a key to the Seahawks' victory
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: this Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals. But for the love
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: of all that's holy, do not choose a cliché. I
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: don't want to hear winning in the trenches. Don't do it, Travis.
• 34:25
  Speaker 2: I don't want to hear winning the turnover battle. I
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: don't want to hear all three phases. Give me something
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: unique about this matchup that will tell the story. Now,
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: it does not mean that you can't pick a cliche,
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: but the cliche better be specifically described. Okay. I like it.
• 34:46
  Speaker 6: All right.
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: Anders, what do you got? What's your no cliche key
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: to victory? I'm going to go with.
• 34:53
  Speaker 3: This might fall into the gray area category on cliches.
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: Travis and I will judge. Okay.
• 34:59
  Speaker 3: Not saying you have to win the turnover battle, but
• 35:02
  Speaker 3: commit zero turnovers.
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: Oh, wow. I thought you were going with the run game.
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: I thought I was. You stole mine. Then you can
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: take mine. I don't want yours. I wanted mine. I'm sorry.
• 35:19
  Speaker 3: I came to my realization last night because I mentioned
• 35:22
  Speaker 3: that yesterday when we were talking about the show. But no,
• 35:25
  Speaker 3: the Seahawks are undefeated when they don't turn the ball
• 35:28
  Speaker 3: over under Mike McDonald. So pretty simple. Don't turn the
• 35:31
  Speaker 3: ball over and you stay on schedule.
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: You're good to go. I think you can afford to
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: turn it over once and still beat the Cardinals, probably
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: even twice. But I do use it as my no-cliche
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: key to victory. because it's the first thing out of
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: Drew Locke's mouth when he was asked about what are
• 35:51
  Speaker 2: your keys for the game this week. Here you're getting
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: the start. And it was the first thing that he said,
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: first thing on his mind. I think the biggest thing
• 35:59
  Speaker 2: for us is taking care of the football. That's the
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: first thing that came out of the starting quarterback's mouth.
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: Why do you think that is? It's because it's been
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: beat into his head by his coach, his head coach,
• 36:10
  Speaker 2: His offensive coordinator, probably Sam Darnold. Maybe not Sam. Maybe
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: not Sam's like, hey, you're a lot worse than me.
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: So do us all a favor and don't give them
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: the ball. Whatever you do. I don't think Sam is
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: saying it. Sam probably didn't say it, but I'll bet
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: you Mike McDonald just hammered it home. Hey, and he
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: hammered it home this way. You play on a great
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: football team. We have a great defense. We have no problem.
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: trying to win a football game 17 to 10. We
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: have no issue with that. We don't need to blow
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: anybody out. Let's rely on our defense. Let's get the
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: ball to JSN and his sure hands. Let's run the football.
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: And yeah, you're going to have to execute some things,
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: but you don't have to go out there and be hero,
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: not on this football team. So just go out there.
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: Don't give them good field position. Certainly don't give them points.
• 37:05
  Speaker 2: I would imagine that's been hammered into his head. And
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: as long as you play that way, you're going to
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: beat the Arizona Cardinals.
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 37:11
  Speaker 2: As long as you aren't coughing the ball up, you're
• 37:13
  Speaker 2: going to beat the Arizona Cardinals. Travis, what's your no
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: cliche key to victory?
• 37:16
  Speaker 5: So we all expect the defense will do their job
• 37:19
  Speaker 5: on Sunday. My key is get Rashid Shahid more involved
• 37:24
  Speaker 5: in the offense.
• 37:25
  Speaker 2: I like that.
• 37:26
  Speaker 5: He only had three targets last game. One catch for
• 37:28
  Speaker 5: four yards. I think we need to get him more involved.
• 37:31
  Speaker 5: Spread the field. You know, you can't have JSN be
• 37:33
  Speaker 5: your only guy.
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: You might be able to. Oh, well, yeah. He's pretty
• 37:37
  Speaker 2: damn good. It kind of worked last season. Kind of
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: won the Super Bowl doing it that way. But I like,
• 37:41
  Speaker 2: you know, I want to get more guys involved. Yeah.
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 37:44
  Speaker 2: Rashid Shahid. Rashid Shahid. I hope we're not having that
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: conversation every week because certainly he didn't get involved last
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: year and we won the Super Bowl.
• 37:52
  Speaker 6: Right.
• 37:53
  Speaker 2: But they paid him $ 17 million when they could have
• 37:57
  Speaker 2: paid Ken Walker, and Ken Walker looks special. Yeah, he does.
• 38:01
  Speaker 2: For the Kansas City Chiefs. So I hope we're not
• 38:03
  Speaker 2: having the Monday morning quarterback every week where Hugh, because
• 38:07
  Speaker 2: this is one of the points that Hugh always points out,
• 38:11
  Speaker 2: that he has to say, where's Rashid Shahid in the offense?
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: Why is he not involved? You paid $ 17 million for
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: this guy per season. You didn't do it just so
• 38:19
  Speaker 2: he could return kicks and punts. And so I hope
• 38:22
  Speaker 2: we're not having it every week, but maybe this is
• 38:24
  Speaker 2: the week to get him going, get him started. I'm
• 38:27
  Speaker 2: expecting to see him in the run game this season,
• 38:30
  Speaker 2: and we didn't see it at all. He didn't get
• 38:32
  Speaker 2: one carry. We didn't run one jet sweep, and I
• 38:34
  Speaker 2: don't know if that was Brian Fleury losing Sam Darnold
• 38:37
  Speaker 2: and losing maybe his place in the game and the
• 38:40
  Speaker 2: design that he had for the game, and that got
• 38:42
  Speaker 2: cut out. That hit the editing room floor. But I
• 38:46
  Speaker 2: think Rashid Shahid's going to get two or three carries
• 38:50
  Speaker 2: a game during the course of the season, but we
• 38:52
  Speaker 2: didn't see him get one in the opening week. All right,
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: coming up next, Greg Bell's going to join us at 7.05,
• 38:58
  Speaker 2: plus your headlines on Sports Radio 93.3 KJRFM.
