  Speaker 3: back with me.
• 1:16
  Speaker 4: Yes, I did.
• 1:17
  Speaker 5: That light was very strong, and it is good to

  Speaker 5: be back with you. I do appreciate seeing your face
• 1:22
  Speaker 5: and hearing your voice once again.
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: I appreciate it. Well, Greg needs to go get some sleep.
• 1:28
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I was doing double duty last night, one eye
• 1:30
  Speaker 6: on the hockey game, one eye on the game, and
• 1:32
  Speaker 6: then we jumped on a conference. We're going to hear
• 1:33
  Speaker 6: a conference call, by the way, coming up. What, about
• 1:36
  Speaker 6: 10 minutes or so, right, Jess? We'll hear that from
• 1:38
  Speaker 6: Mike McDonald.
• 1:39
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 1:40
  Speaker 6: He did his Zoom availability today, and both Greg, while
• 1:43
  Speaker 6: he was on the air, which is, I'll give him,
• 1:44
  Speaker 6: that's a hell of an effort, on the air, jumping
• 1:47
  Speaker 6: on a Zoom call with the coach. And then also,
• 1:49
  Speaker 6: I was able to jump on, too, one of the
• 1:52
  Speaker 6: rare occasions. And the questions I think that people want
• 1:54
  Speaker 6: to hear about the Seahawks, Sam Darnold, where they are,
• 1:57
  Speaker 6: will have all that offensive line we asked.
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: I asked about that as well.
• 2:02
  Speaker 6: So we'll get to that coming up in just a
• 2:05
  Speaker 6: Seven or eight minutes at the max. I'm going to
• 2:07
  Speaker 6: get back to the Seahawks in a second. Can I
• 2:10
  Speaker 6: just go through Sonic stuff just for a second?
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: I would really like this, even though I'm not going
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: to like it.
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: I think you will. I think you will. Okay. Oh,
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: one other note.
• 2:20
  Speaker 6: We are in an absolute wind sprint today. We have
• 2:22
  Speaker 6: an hour show. And the one-hour show we have today,
• 2:26
  Speaker 6: we are going to toss it to the Huskies pregame
• 2:29
  Speaker 6: show at 1 o'clock. They're from West Lafayette. We'll get
• 2:33
  Speaker 6: to that at 1 p.m. for a 5 o'clock kickoff tonight.
• 2:36
  Speaker 6: I want to hear from you. 49451, or maybe more specifically,
• 2:41
  Speaker 6: let's get some talkbacks going. Listen, people were pissed last night.
• 2:47
  Speaker 6: They were sideways. I have not seen anger like that
• 2:50
  Speaker 6: in a long time towards a football team. So if
• 2:52
  Speaker 6: this is your chance to get it off your chest,
• 2:55
  Speaker 6: go to the red microphone, iHeartRadio app, the talkback mic,
• 2:59
  Speaker 6: You guys should know how to do it by now.
• 3:00
  Speaker 6: You have 30 seconds and speak. Jess will listen to
• 3:03
  Speaker 6: your voices. Hey, do me a favor today. We joke
• 3:06
  Speaker 6: about this all the time.
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: Don't swear. Don't make our job harder. You know what's great?
• 3:10
  Speaker 5: We have transcription now, and the top one on our
• 3:15
  Speaker 5: talkback line, I can read it. And it is 98%
• 3:19
  Speaker 5: one word that we can never play on this air.
• 3:21
  Speaker 5: So I can't play that unless you want a gigantic beep.
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: Does it rhyme with what you play hockey with, a puck?
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: You know what?
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: It does.
• 3:30
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: Okay, thank you.
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: That's a really good mnemonic device for that. Thank you.
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: Beautiful.
• 3:34
  Speaker 6: So we want to hear from you today. Corbin Smith
• 3:36
  Speaker 6: for a few minutes at 1230. Your comments then. So
• 3:38
  Speaker 6: we're going to jam Sonics and Seahawks in this first segment.
• 3:41
  Speaker 6: Let me just start with the Sonics. Story came out today.
• 3:43
  Speaker 6: Brian Windhorst wrote a story on ESPN.com effectively saying that Seattle,
• 3:48
  Speaker 6: this is the money line, the money quote, the one
• 3:50
  Speaker 6: that gets everybody talking. Seattle is not a lock for
• 3:52
  Speaker 6: an NBA expansion team, right? That was the money. That
• 3:55
  Speaker 6: was kind of the line.
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: I get that. We all understand. Okay.
• 3:59
  Speaker 6: Read the story, and then I did do some intel today.
• 4:02
  Speaker 6: I did check around a little bit. It's a really
• 4:04
  Speaker 6: simple process. Vegas is a mess. There's multiple groups.
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: Bidding for Vegas.
• 4:08
  Speaker 6: They have a building issue there. The T-Mobile Arena has
• 4:11
  Speaker 6: to get renovated in some way, shape, or form. If
• 4:13
  Speaker 6: it stays with Bill Foley, who owns the hockey team,
• 4:16
  Speaker 6: he'll do that. If it results in having a new building,
• 4:18
  Speaker 6: there's also a delay there. I was told they are
• 4:21
  Speaker 6: anywhere from a couple to a few weeks away from
• 4:25
  Speaker 6: deciding who owns Vegas. Now, Vegas' price tag is going
• 4:29
  Speaker 6: to be upwards of $ 10 billion.
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: I want to say million. This is an insane number.
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: $ 10 billion. Understand that, right? $ 10 billion.
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's about the valuation these days, isn't it?
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 4:40
  Speaker 6: But Seattle's expansion bid is thought to be far less
• 4:43
  Speaker 6: because there's no competition.
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: It's the One Roof Group, which.
• 4:46
  Speaker 6: Is led by Samantha Holloway, Melinda French-Gates, Andy Jassy, Amazon dude, right?
• 4:52
  Speaker 9: Right.
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: And others that are involved with this. Big hitters.
• 4:55
  Speaker 6: By the way, two female owners in the NBA has
• 4:57
  Speaker 6: not happened ever. I think the NBA would be, like
• 5:00
  Speaker 6: at some point, understand what you have here. And Melinda
• 5:03
  Speaker 6: French Gates is worth a ton of money. Do not
• 5:05
  Speaker 6: hold these guys hostage. But the problem is now is
• 5:08
  Speaker 6: that the NBA owners apparently, or at least some or
• 5:11
  Speaker 6: one or two, are trying to get Seattle to get
• 5:13
  Speaker 6: its bid up. Now, it's kind of like real estate.
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: What does the market bear?
• 5:19
  Speaker 6: If somebody else wants to come in and say, hey,
• 5:20
  Speaker 6: here's $ 10 billion in But by the way, we're going
• 5:22
  Speaker 6: to have to build a new building because they don't
• 5:24
  Speaker 6: want to be a secondary tenant or actually probably a
• 5:26
  Speaker 6: third tenant in some ways to the Kraken and other
• 5:30
  Speaker 6: things going on at one roof.
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: That doesn't make sense. It doesn't pencil out.
• 5:35
  Speaker 6: I'm going to just give you a quick resume piece.
• 5:37
  Speaker 6: I worked for two different arenas in my career. And
• 5:42
  Speaker 6: I understand how the business works probably a little bit
• 5:45
  Speaker 6: more than some do in our business. Revenue streams are
• 5:49
  Speaker 6: the utmost importance. Being a primary tenant, having the revenue
• 5:53
  Speaker 6: streams that come with permanent signage and other things associated
• 5:56
  Speaker 6: with the arena is of the utmost importance. That's why
• 5:59
  Speaker 6: if you see Vegas, if Bill Foley doesn't get it,
• 6:01
  Speaker 6: they're going to want to build a new building and
• 6:03
  Speaker 6: not play in T-Mobile. There's so many other layers to this.
• 6:07
  Speaker 6: We know in Seattle, you're not building a building here.
• 6:10
  Speaker 6: The city's in partnership with One Roof. They're not going
• 6:14
  Speaker 6: to allow Climate Pledge Arena to have a competitor here.
• 6:17
  Speaker 6: in the city limits. So what does that mean? You
• 6:19
  Speaker 6: go somewhere else, right? Well, we've seen this before. Jess,
• 6:22
  Speaker 6: how many times have we seen that? Hey, let's go
• 6:24
  Speaker 6: to Bellevue. Let's go to Auburn.
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: Let's go to Renton.
• 6:26
  Speaker 4: Oh, come on. I mean, the Chris Hansen debacle of 2015? Yeah.
• 6:30
  Speaker 6: And that property is still in Seattle. Just wipe that
• 6:35
  Speaker 6: away for a second.
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 6:37
  Speaker 6: So there's a lot of different things in play here.
• 6:39
  Speaker 6: But for a different group to come in here and
• 6:41
  Speaker 6: bump up that price tag and make it viable... You're
• 6:44
  Speaker 6: going to have to build a building somewhere. That adds
• 6:46
  Speaker 6: another $ 2 billion to the price tag. We're playing games here.
• 6:51
  Speaker 6: I would just ask Sonic fans, just relax.
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: Be patient.
• 6:55
  Speaker 6: The process is brutal. No one likes it. No one's
• 6:58
  Speaker 6: enjoying it. We're all mad at the NBA for various reasons,
• 7:01
  Speaker 6: and something like this comes out. You see a headline.
• 7:04
  Speaker 6: Relocation comes into play, too. We'll take a deep breath.
• 7:08
  Speaker 6: Let's take a step back. The people wanting to buy
• 7:10
  Speaker 6: the team in Vegas want to buy the team in Vegas,
• 7:12
  Speaker 6: the competing groups, because it's Vegas. They want that market.
• 7:15
  Speaker 6: They don't necessarily want Seattle's market. So hopefully that makes sense.
• 7:18
  Speaker 6: Let's just deep breath. We have bigger fish to fry
• 7:21
  Speaker 6: right now, and that would be the football team. So
• 7:23
  Speaker 6: let's get to that. Before we get to the sound,
• 7:26
  Speaker 6: I mentioned a softie two days ago, and this is
• 7:28
  Speaker 6: why last night's– I hate– God, I hate when I
• 7:31
  Speaker 6: hear people even– listen, the players have to approach it.
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: Differently than us as media or fans or anybody else.
• 7:35
  Speaker 9: Sure.
• 7:36
  Speaker 6: Guys last night were saying, it's still early in the season.
• 7:38
  Speaker 6: We're six games in and a 17-game schedule.
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: That is true.
• 7:41
  Speaker 6: The reality is, if you want to win the NFC West,
• 7:46
  Speaker 6: if that was the goal, and that should be your
• 7:48
  Speaker 6: primary goal, win the NFC West, hopefully get a bye
• 7:50
  Speaker 6: in the first round, have home field advantage, that opportunity,
• 7:55
  Speaker 6: it's not 100% dead, but it's damn close.
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: It's damn close. Especially with what the Niners are doing.
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: And that's why, Jess. The 49ers.
• 8:06
  Speaker 6: Their record. Also, the Rams. Yes, you're tied with the Rams.
• 8:11
  Speaker 6: The Rams are sitting there with their losses, too. With
• 8:14
  Speaker 6: their three losses as well. Look at the schedule. Understand
• 8:17
  Speaker 6: that neither one of those teams is going to lose
• 8:18
  Speaker 6: in the immediate future. They have second and third place schedules.
• 8:22
  Speaker 6: Seattle has a first place schedule. It's the way the
• 8:25
  Speaker 6: NFL does its parody every year. In addition to having
• 8:27
  Speaker 6: every division has the crossover. We're playing the AFC West
• 8:30
  Speaker 6: this year, for example, and the NFC East. In addition
• 8:32
  Speaker 6: to that, you play first place schedule. You play hard
• 8:36
  Speaker 6: teams throughout the year. Those two teams didn't. Guess what
• 8:39
  Speaker 6: it was? A year ago, that was reversed. Seattle had
• 8:41
  Speaker 6: the third-play schedule. It worked out well. You have a
• 8:44
  Speaker 6: hard schedule. Those teams, specifically San Francisco, are ahead of you,
• 8:49
  Speaker 6: and they're going to run the table for a while.
• 8:51
  Speaker 6: San Francisco's going to be favored in all but their
• 8:53
  Speaker 6: second game, possibly against the Rams. They'll be favored against
• 8:56
  Speaker 6: Seattle at home. They're humming. So now you're talking about
• 9:00
  Speaker 6: a wild card. Why was yesterday so bad? We are
• 9:03
  Speaker 6: talking about a wild card now. That's what you're playing for.
• 9:07
  Speaker 6: Understand that. You're not playing for the division anymore unless
• 9:09
  Speaker 6: something catastrophic happens in the Bay Area, and then it's
• 9:12
  Speaker 6: you and the Rams. But boy, would that take a lot.
• 9:14
  Speaker 6: They're three and a half games ahead of you. Not three,
• 9:16
  Speaker 6: three and a half because they've already got the tiebreaker.
• 9:19
  Speaker 6: Last night was a devastating loss, and it was a
• 9:22
  Speaker 6: preventable loss. Everyone wants to know about Sam Darnold. Everybody
• 9:26
  Speaker 6: wants to talk about Sam Darnold. We'll get into hardcore
• 9:29
  Speaker 6: football with Hugh on Monday. We'll give him a couple
• 9:30
  Speaker 6: days to kind of decompress and watch the tape again.
• 9:32
  Speaker 6: We'll get to him on Monday with hardcore football.
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I would let him, you know, just whittle it down.
• 9:37
  Speaker 6: And I've got a couple other guys looking at some
• 9:38
  Speaker 6: tape for us, too, and we'll do that next week,
• 9:40
  Speaker 6: Cosell and others. But the biggest question is, what do
• 9:44
  Speaker 6: you do at the quarterback position? Mike McDonald also had
• 9:49
  Speaker 6: a line last night about our quarterbacks getting hit too hard.
• 9:51
  Speaker 6: The offensive line's under fire.
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: They can't run the ball.
• 9:53
  Speaker 6: Really, anything not named Jackson, Smith, and Jigba on the
• 9:56
  Speaker 6: offense feels broken right now.
• 9:58
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: So early.
• 10:00
  Speaker 6: Today, Mike McDonald on a Friday, because it's a weird week,
• 10:02
  Speaker 6: he held his basically post-game day after press conference.
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: Greg Bell was on it, and I was on it
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: for you. Take a listen. Mike, on the last.
• 10:13
  Speaker 10: Interception, what did you see looking back on it, and
• 10:16
  Speaker 10: how would you just describe your performance confidence level right
• 10:19
  Speaker 10: now and Sam and us also his confidence level because
• 10:22
  Speaker 10: it feels like that's pretty important for that position.
• 10:25
  Speaker 11: Yeah I think I think it's a similar answer to
• 10:28
  Speaker 11: what I was what I told Brian was I think
• 10:31
  Speaker 11: there's things that we can all do to help Sam
• 10:35
  Speaker 11: play better football and we trust Sam we believe in
• 10:39
  Speaker 11: him and we feel like we feel like he's definitely
• 10:43
  Speaker 11: part of a solution you know in terms of us
• 10:45
  Speaker 11: playing better football on offense and at quarterback.
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: Seahawks style offense that uh we all envisioned.
• 10:51
  Speaker 7: When hi mike what you say sam's uh best chance
• 10:56
  Speaker 7: of the solution he's you believe he's part of solution
• 10:58
  Speaker 7: what about sam's game makes him the solution what are
• 11:02
  Speaker 7: the traits that you're now trying to draw an attack
• 11:05
  Speaker 7: that you're not getting right now.
• 11:08
  Speaker 11: Well i mean you guys have been here over the
• 11:11
  Speaker 11: last two years we just won a world championship with
• 11:14
  Speaker 11: them um.
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: We believe in the guy. We see him every day.
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: We see what he does. We see the plays he's
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: been able to make. We see the actual talent. All
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: those things. That's where my mind is.
• 11:34
  Speaker 7: Are you concerned or is it just still six games
• 11:38
  Speaker 7: into a 17-game season and you're confident this will fix it?
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: I don't like using the word concern. I think.
• 11:51
  Speaker 11: There's a sense of urgency to get better in several
• 11:56
  Speaker 11: areas of our football team. A lot of those are
• 12:00
  Speaker 11: on offense, on operationally, how we're protecting the quarterback, how
• 12:07
  Speaker 11: we're running the ball. There's line items on defense, there's
• 12:10
  Speaker 11: line items on special teams. I really do believe, Greg,
• 12:13
  Speaker 11: that these things are within our control of things that
• 12:18
  Speaker 11: are on the input side of the equation of how
• 12:22
  Speaker 11: we do things throughout the week, what we do throughout
• 12:24
  Speaker 11: the game. To me, I wouldn't say it's exciting, but
• 12:29
  Speaker 11: that does get you going knowing that, hey, there's a
• 12:31
  Speaker 11: solution out there.
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: I believe in our people. I believe in our ability to.
• 12:37
  Speaker 11: Solve problems and work through issues and I mean, the
• 12:40
  Speaker 11: whole go through, not around, that's a real thing that
• 12:43
  Speaker 11: I really do believe in. So I think we're always
• 12:46
  Speaker 11: optimistic that we're going to be able to find solutions. However,
• 12:50
  Speaker 11: you have to do an honest process. You have to
• 12:53
  Speaker 11: go through those things. You can't just kid yourself in
• 12:57
  Speaker 11: times like this. So I'm confident we're going.
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: To be able to do that.
• 13:01
  Speaker 11: And a big part of this weekend is going to
• 13:03
  Speaker 11: be allocated to really continuing and making that process better.
• 13:08
  Speaker 12: Hey Mike, another one on the quarterback play realized there,
• 13:12
  Speaker 12: you know, different opponents and there was maybe one or
• 13:14
  Speaker 12: two players that were playing while Drew was, was starting
• 13:18
  Speaker 12: or while Drew was playing.
• 13:20
  Speaker 13: But what do you make of the fact that it
• 13:22
  Speaker 13: was across the board?
• 13:23
  Speaker 12: It was just so much cleaner when Drew was in there,
• 13:25
  Speaker 12: no turnovers, I think only a couple of stacks of
• 13:27
  Speaker 12: those two games, despite largely the same players around him.
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I, I respect the question.
• 13:36
  Speaker 11: I think, um, to make it like a one for one, Hey,
• 13:41
  Speaker 11: this one, this is the same and this is different.
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: And it's one person.
• 13:44
  Speaker 11: I don't, I don't think that's, uh, I don't think
• 13:49
  Speaker 11: that's doing the whole thing justice. There's definitely more to
• 13:52
  Speaker 11: the equation.
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: Um, you.
• 13:55
  Speaker 11: Know, what we called, how we got to it, that
• 13:57
  Speaker 11: certain thing, you know, maybe the process for drew, um,
• 14:03
  Speaker 11: how we catered the game, you know, to his skillset,
• 14:05
  Speaker 11: all the, all those things are part of the conversation
• 14:07
  Speaker 11: as well. But, I understand the question, but I think
• 14:11
  Speaker 11: there's more to it than just who's playing quarterback.
• 14:15
  Speaker 10: Mike, your comment last night about the quarterback is getting
• 14:17
  Speaker 10: hit too much. Is that just cumulative? I mean, everyone
• 14:20
  Speaker 10: looks at the offensive line at that point and says, well,
• 14:22
  Speaker 10: it must be the offensive line that's outside of Anthony,
• 14:24
  Speaker 10: the same guys as last year.
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: Is that scheme-related? Is that quarterback holding the ball too long-related?
• 14:30
  Speaker 10: Just kind of elaborate on that because it feels like
• 14:32
  Speaker 10: all these things we're asking you is kind of coming
• 14:34
  Speaker 10: back to that same issue.
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, like....
• 14:39
  Speaker 11: I hope you understand, like, when you have, when you have,
• 14:42
  Speaker 11: when you have, like, at least I believe this, when
• 14:45
  Speaker 11: you have, when you have things that you want to
• 14:46
  Speaker 11: improve on your team, so right now we're talking about takeaways,
• 14:50
  Speaker 11: and we're talking about getting the quarterback hit, and we're
• 14:52
  Speaker 11: talking about the run game, we're talking about red zone defense,
• 14:56
  Speaker 11: you know, we're talking about the return game on special teams, like,
• 14:58
  Speaker 11: these are areas that we want to improve, right? If
• 15:01
  Speaker 11: you just point to a person or a position group,
• 15:04
  Speaker 11: it's like, that's not how football works, man, it's a
• 15:06
  Speaker 11: team game, and we spend a lot of time with
• 15:10
  Speaker 11: a lot of resources like investing in the process and
• 15:13
  Speaker 11: how we make these things come to life on game day.
• 15:17
  Speaker 11: And so it's never just like a one person or
• 15:19
  Speaker 11: a one group thing. Now, could you say, hey, look,
• 15:22
  Speaker 11: this group or this person needs to perform better in
• 15:24
  Speaker 11: their area of responsibility, head coach included?
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: Absolutely.
• 15:27
  Speaker 11: And that's how we operate here. But could the offensive line,
• 15:31
  Speaker 11: can they step their game up?
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: Yes, absolutely.
• 15:37
  Speaker 11: But just to point it on the offensive line, I think– again,
• 15:40
  Speaker 11: same thing with the takeaways with Sam. Does Sam bear
• 15:43
  Speaker 11: responsibility for taking care of the football? Do our runners
• 15:45
  Speaker 11: take care of responsibility for fun with them all?
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: Absolutely.
• 15:48
  Speaker 11: But there's, it's a team game and how we set
• 15:52
  Speaker 11: our game plans up and how we execute.
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: Falls on all of our shoulders. So that's, that's how
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: we choose to look through it.
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: Donald.
• 16:03
  Speaker 6: And as you can hear from Mike McDonald there, I mean, like,
• 16:06
  Speaker 6: There's a lot of issues, a lot of elements. And
• 16:08
  Speaker 6: that's why I kind of asked him because his quote
• 16:09
  Speaker 6: last night, you know, I thought was telling. He says,
• 16:12
  Speaker 6: our quarterback's getting hit too much. And that's kind of
• 16:14
  Speaker 6: why I asked that question because, okay, I get it.
• 16:17
  Speaker 6: We all see that. Is that on the offensive line
• 16:20
  Speaker 6: or is it on everybody else? And as I said,
• 16:22
  Speaker 6: is it cumulative? And he goes, yeah, it's cumulative. It's
• 16:24
  Speaker 6: all those things combined. He's not making a quarterback change.
• 16:28
  Speaker 6: That's not going to happen. And we're going to talk
• 16:32
  Speaker 6: a little bit more on Monday with Hugh. about play calling,
• 16:36
  Speaker 6: offensive coordinator Brian Fleury. I mean, we've got three offensive
• 16:39
  Speaker 6: coordinators in three years here. Actually, four and four now,
• 16:42
  Speaker 6: including going back to Pete. But there's a lot of
• 16:45
  Speaker 6: things going on that have led to this team to
• 16:48
  Speaker 6: be where they are right now. And that's three and three.
• 16:52
  Speaker 6: And somebody just texted in, as Brad just texted in,
• 16:55
  Speaker 6: the 49ers have a bunch more losses on their roster.
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: I don't see it. And you can't bank on that.
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: I mean, you've got to win every week.
• 17:01
  Speaker 6: Really, Seattle needs to pretty close to win out the
• 17:05
  Speaker 6: rest of the way, including against an undefeated Kansas City
• 17:07
  Speaker 6: team next week. I mean, and that's just to get,
• 17:11
  Speaker 6: you know, we're talking wild card right now. I'm not
• 17:13
  Speaker 6: even thinking about the division. But Sam's a concern. That's
• 17:17
  Speaker 6: a concern. The offensive line is a concern. Is the
• 17:20
  Speaker 6: offensive line a concern because of the running backs, or
• 17:22
  Speaker 6: is it because of the play calling? Is it because
• 17:23
  Speaker 6: of the quarterback holding on the ball to him? Listen,
• 17:26
  Speaker 6: the last interception overtime, he had a pocket.
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: That's on him. That's on him. All right.
• 17:34
  Speaker 6: Corbin Smith joins us in just a minute. We'll have
• 17:36
  Speaker 6: a short visit with him. Big thing today in our
• 17:39
  Speaker 6: final segment, Jess is getting ready to get all your
• 17:42
  Speaker 6: talkbacks ready to go.
• 17:43
  Speaker 4: There's a lot coming in, and I appreciate those.
• 17:47
  Speaker 6: We may go heavy talkback as much as text. We
• 17:51
  Speaker 6: may go more talkback than text just because of the
• 17:53
  Speaker 6: interest of time. So that's coming up at 1245 today.
• 17:55
  Speaker 6: Corbin Smith, what he saw last night, coming up next.
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: I think we're back. Oh, we do.
• 18:22
  Speaker 3: Yes, indeed. It's a Friday afternoon.
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: Welcome in.
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: Ian Furness with you.
• 18:26
  Speaker 6: Corbin Smith on the line right Corbin, it's dark days
• 18:29
  Speaker 6: here in Seattle, buddy. It's dark days, as you know.
• 18:31
  Speaker 6: Emerald City Spectrum, of course, the Triple Option Seahawks podcast.
• 18:34
  Speaker 6: You guys went live last night with my guy Rob Rang.
• 18:37
  Speaker 6: No Rang today, by the way, so we'll get Corbin
• 18:39
  Speaker 6: on instead. Rob, back with us next week. Rob, Corbin,
• 18:42
  Speaker 6: how are you today, buddy?
• 18:44
  Speaker 8: Well, I'm still diving into the film from last night,
• 18:48
  Speaker 8: so I don't know if I say that's good or not,
• 18:50
  Speaker 8: but it's one of the roughest watches that I've had
• 18:56
  Speaker 8: in quite some time.
• 18:58
  Speaker 6: We know now that Mike McDonald's not going to make
• 19:00
  Speaker 6: a switch at quarterback. He made that abundantly clear today
• 19:03
  Speaker 6: in a couple of media availabilities, including one with all
• 19:05
  Speaker 6: of us on a Zoom call at 10 this morning.
• 19:08
  Speaker 6: So let's not go there. Let me go a different
• 19:10
  Speaker 6: route with you. This is not Jim Mora Jr. at
• 19:15
  Speaker 6: Colorado State who's going to turf a coordinator in the
• 19:17
  Speaker 6: middle of a game or the middle.
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: Of a season. That's not going to happen.
• 19:21
  Speaker 6: But I do believe that you, just looking back on it,
• 19:24
  Speaker 6: have some concerns about Brian Fleury and the position he's
• 19:28
  Speaker 6: putting his players in right now.
• 19:31
  Speaker 8: You know, it's fascinating, Ian, because if we would have
• 19:34
  Speaker 8: talked after Sunday's game, this is why context matters so much.
• 19:38
  Speaker 8: Because I thought Sunday that Brian Fleury had a really
• 19:42
  Speaker 8: good game plan and his players just dropped the ball.
• 19:46
  Speaker 13: I mean, literally dropped the ball in that game.
• 19:49
  Speaker 8: I felt like they had a lot of things that
• 19:51
  Speaker 8: were schemed up that really created some opportunities for them.
• 19:55
  Speaker 13: And they did put up 29 points in that game.
• 19:58
  Speaker 13: But last night, I.
• 20:01
  Speaker 13: I'm not going to sugarcoat it. I'm not saying this lightly.
• 20:04
  Speaker 8: I felt like Brian Fleury did not know the opponent
• 20:08
  Speaker 8: that he was going against last night. That's how bad
• 20:11
  Speaker 8: the game plan was. I see these slow developing play
• 20:16
  Speaker 8: action shotgun plays that are feeding right into what Vance
• 20:20
  Speaker 8: Joseph wants to do. sending the pressure packages, and you're
• 20:24
  Speaker 8: just taking way too long for the thing to get going,
• 20:27
  Speaker 8: and then you're running pulling guards on play-action plays against
• 20:32
  Speaker 8: arguably the most disruptive defensive line in terms of penetration
• 20:36
  Speaker 8: in the.
• 20:37
  Speaker 13: National Football League.
• 20:39
  Speaker 8: Those things just don't work, especially when your run game
• 20:42
  Speaker 8: is not one that teams are respecting very much right now.
• 20:46
  Speaker 8: They're just going to spit on those play fakes. And
• 20:49
  Speaker 8: if you are, if you're putting your guard, Gray's able,
• 20:52
  Speaker 8: for example, in a position where he's got to try
• 20:55
  Speaker 8: to execute a big reach block. just to try to
• 20:59
  Speaker 8: protect Sam Darnold on a play action play. And the
• 21:02
  Speaker 8: DT is just shooting out of his stance, getting up field,
• 21:04
  Speaker 8: like good luck with that. I just, I thought the
• 21:08
  Speaker 8: game plan, I'm just going to be blunt. It was crap.
• 21:11
  Speaker 8: It was, it was one of the worst game plans
• 21:13
  Speaker 8: that I've seen in a long time. I just, I
• 21:16
  Speaker 8: just felt like it did not look like they knew
• 21:17
  Speaker 8: who they were playing against.
• 21:19
  Speaker 6: Who's more culpable then? Is it, is it the play
• 21:22
  Speaker 6: caller as opposed to the players themselves?
• 21:26
  Speaker 13: I mean, the players don't dictate this.
• 21:29
  Speaker 8: I mean, I'm, I'm sure they had some input, but
• 21:31
  Speaker 8: like at the end of the day, Brian Flurry is
• 21:34
  Speaker 8: the one that is installing this.
• 21:36
  Speaker 13: And, and I've seen some people say, well, they had,
• 21:38
  Speaker 13: they only had three days. I don't need.
• 21:40
  Speaker 8: Five minutes to know what the Denver Broncos strength is,
• 21:44
  Speaker 8: especially when they're without their top corner and their top safety.
• 21:48
  Speaker 8: Like they were missing some key pieces on the back end,
• 21:51
  Speaker 8: but they still had everybody up front and, you know
• 21:54
  Speaker 8: what they are going to do with that defensive line.
• 21:58
  Speaker 8: So like, and I, I thought they had way too
• 22:00
  Speaker 8: many five man protections in this game. I just, I
• 22:04
  Speaker 8: had a lot of questions with what they were trying
• 22:07
  Speaker 8: to do. It just seemed like they were trying to
• 22:09
  Speaker 8: beat the Broncos and what their strengths were, which just isn't.
• 22:13
  Speaker 13: You know, if I was, you know, if I'm a fan,
• 22:16
  Speaker 13: I'm it's maddening.
• 22:17
  Speaker 8: Cause you're just like, why, why are we playing into
• 22:19
  Speaker 8: what they have on the field at full strength? When
• 22:22
  Speaker 8: we have some areas we should be able to take
• 22:24
  Speaker 8: advantage of. It was hard to watch.
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Corbin, I think that's, you know, it's a first-time
• 22:32
  Speaker 3: play caller.
• 22:33
  Speaker 6: And game planning, I mean, it's multiple things. It's game planning,
• 22:39
  Speaker 6: and it's also in-game and making those calls and doing
• 22:43
  Speaker 6: all those things. What you're telling me, what I'm hearing
• 22:47
  Speaker 6: right now, is that going into the game, the game
• 22:51
  Speaker 6: plan itself, was flawed at least from what you're seeing
• 22:55
  Speaker 6: and i think anybody watching the game would believe that
• 22:58
  Speaker 6: to be the case so then i asked myself well
• 23:01
  Speaker 6: it's not just brian flurry i asked the question today
• 23:03
  Speaker 6: to mike mcdonald in the press conference about you know
• 23:06
  Speaker 6: is it is it cumulative is it not just because
• 23:08
  Speaker 6: he he kind of went after the offensive line last
• 23:09
  Speaker 6: night our quarterback's getting hit too much that everybody takes
• 23:12
  Speaker 6: that as the offensive line we know it's more than
• 23:13
  Speaker 6: that the quarterback holds the ball play calls all those
• 23:15
  Speaker 6: types of things what you're talking about asking gray's able
• 23:17
  Speaker 6: 11 a left guard to do a pull and a
• 23:20
  Speaker 6: reach block, and then leaves a cornerback wide open on
• 23:23
  Speaker 6: a blitz. All those things kind of come into play.
• 23:26
  Speaker 6: But here's the thing. It's not just Brian Fleury. He
• 23:28
  Speaker 6: has an offensive staff. That's my concern. It's not just
• 23:32
  Speaker 6: Brian Fleury, right? It's an offensive staff that has an issue. Look,
• 23:39
  Speaker 6: John Benton, I think.
• 23:40
  Speaker 13: Is one of the best line coaches in football.
• 23:42
  Speaker 8: So I'm not going to be jumping to conclusions that
• 23:45
  Speaker 8: he suddenly lost his ability to coach.
• 23:48
  Speaker 3: And let me just say, I'm not either. I'm not either.
• 23:51
  Speaker 6: I'm just saying we can't put all the blame on
• 23:53
  Speaker 6: the offensive coordinator, can we?
• 23:56
  Speaker 13: I agree with you.
• 23:59
  Speaker 8: The point I'm trying to make here, though, Ian, and
• 24:01
  Speaker 8: this is just based, again, on what I watched in
• 24:03
  Speaker 8: this game just last night. I see a situation developing
• 24:09
  Speaker 8: where it just feels like the communication is is completely
• 24:15
  Speaker 8: off kilter and it isn't just with the offensive line
• 24:18
  Speaker 8: it seems like sam darnold does not trust he i
• 24:21
  Speaker 8: mean it's not seeming it's obvious he does not trust
• 24:23
  Speaker 8: what he's seeing and i think that there's a major
• 24:26
  Speaker 8: problem with the communication element and i just you know
• 24:29
  Speaker 8: i just posted this on social media i think this
• 24:31
  Speaker 8: is a massive problem that they have got to get
• 24:34
  Speaker 8: fixed they're getting the play calls in way too late, consistently.
• 24:38
  Speaker 3: Yes, yes.
• 24:39
  Speaker 8: And what that does, this is a cumulative thing. If
• 24:43
  Speaker 8: you're getting to the line of scrimmage with seven seconds
• 24:46
  Speaker 8: to go on the play clock, you're just rushing so
• 24:49
  Speaker 8: you can get the snap off. And I haven't got
• 24:52
  Speaker 8: a chance to go watch the TV copy again to
• 24:55
  Speaker 8: see how many times it's happened, but it felt like
• 24:58
  Speaker 8: the entire game that they were up against it trying
• 25:01
  Speaker 8: to get snaps off. And what that means is, one,
• 25:05
  Speaker 8: you don't have the proper time to be able to
• 25:07
  Speaker 8: really make sure you're getting the right pass protection calls.
• 25:10
  Speaker 8: Like if you're rushing up to the line with five seconds,
• 25:13
  Speaker 8: you can't be like, hey, let's switch up what we're
• 25:16
  Speaker 8: doing with our communication. Five seconds, you don't have enough
• 25:18
  Speaker 8: time to do that. And there were several times last
• 25:21
  Speaker 8: night where it was clearly evident that not everybody was
• 25:24
  Speaker 8: on the same page and what they were.
• 25:25
  Speaker 13: Supposed to be doing in their pass protection assignments.
• 25:28
  Speaker 8: The other problem is it prevents Sam Darnold from being
• 25:31
  Speaker 8: able to really scan the defense and read what he
• 25:34
  Speaker 8: is seeing. And I think that's why we're seeing some
• 25:37
  Speaker 8: of these really bad throws where he's throwing into double coverage.
• 25:43
  Speaker 13: It's like, what is he seeing?
• 25:44
  Speaker 8: I don't think he's seeing it because he's not getting
• 25:46
  Speaker 8: to the line of scrimmage quick enough to be able
• 25:48
  Speaker 8: to see what's going on there. So that is a
• 25:52
  Speaker 8: massive problem that they've talked about in press conferences already.
• 25:56
  Speaker 13: Like they are aware of it, but it's not getting better.
• 25:59
  Speaker 13: So they've got to address that.
• 26:01
  Speaker 3: Corbin Smith with us just for a couple more moments.
• 26:03
  Speaker 3: You know what?
• 26:04
  Speaker 6: It gives me a flashback. Remember Russ's last year here?
• 26:08
  Speaker 6: That was a huge issue.
• 26:09
  Speaker 3: Yep. Right?
• 26:10
  Speaker 6: That was a huge issue, Russ's last year here. Was
• 26:13
  Speaker 6: that the first year of Shane Waldron, maybe?
• 26:15
  Speaker 3: That was Shottie, yeah. Yeah, or Shottie.
• 26:17
  Speaker 7: No, no, no.
• 26:17
  Speaker 3: That was Shane Waldron.
• 26:18
  Speaker 13: Yeah, that was Waldron.
• 26:19
  Speaker 3: That was Shane. Yeah.
• 26:21
  Speaker 8: I know Shottie Heimer had the one in the playoff game,
• 26:23
  Speaker 8: which usually he was pretty good about getting the play
• 26:26
  Speaker 8: call in.
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: Man.
• 26:27
  Speaker 5: Man.
• 26:28
  Speaker 3: Well, all right, let me wrap it up with this.
• 26:32
  Speaker 3: Where do they go from here?
• 26:35
  Speaker 8: Well, the good news is you have 10 days in
• 26:38
  Speaker 8: between games. You have time to be able to get
• 26:42
  Speaker 8: back to the drawing board and try to fix some things.
• 26:44
  Speaker 8: But I'm looking at Mike McDonald here like you've got
• 26:47
  Speaker 8: to find a way. I don't think you take play
• 26:49
  Speaker 8: calling responsibilities away from Brian Fleury because I think he's
• 26:53
  Speaker 8: had some good games. But you've got to sit down
• 26:56
  Speaker 8: as a coach, and you've got to work with your coaches. Like, hey,
• 27:00
  Speaker 8: what were you thinking with the process here? Mike McDonald
• 27:04
  Speaker 8: talks about the process all the time. The process was
• 27:07
  Speaker 8: terrible last night, all the way around. You've got to
• 27:10
  Speaker 8: sit down with your OC, and you've got to sit
• 27:13
  Speaker 8: down with the rest of your coaching staff. Like, I'm
• 27:15
  Speaker 8: sitting down with Thomas Hammock, and I'm saying, why are
• 27:17
  Speaker 8: our running backs missing so many of their pass protection teams?
• 27:20
  Speaker 8: duties like this is not just a George Helani problem
• 27:23
  Speaker 8: George is normally very good in pass pro so what
• 27:26
  Speaker 8: is going on here are the guys just not sure
• 27:29
  Speaker 8: what they're supposed to be doing and they're playing tentative
• 27:32
  Speaker 8: like what's being coached here like they've got to look
• 27:35
  Speaker 8: at those fundamental issues right now that are rocking this
• 27:39
  Speaker 8: offense and there's got to be some accountability with the
• 27:43
  Speaker 8: guys on your staff so Mike McDonald is going to
• 27:45
  Speaker 8: have to dish out some tough love over the next
• 27:47
  Speaker 8: several days, and then that has got to trickle down
• 27:51
  Speaker 8: to the players that are making all the mistakes that
• 27:53
  Speaker 8: they're making. There's got to be accountability, and it's got
• 27:56

• 29:04
  Speaker 2: I understand not taking the job away from Sam.
• 29:07
  Speaker 3: I get that. I'm not saying he needs his job
• 29:09
  Speaker 3: taken away. But can we put Drew Locke in for
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: one drive?
• 29:14
  Speaker 13: Let's just see what happens.
• 29:15
  Speaker 3: I'm sorry. We're not in the Drew Locke. We're not
• 29:18
  Speaker 3: in the Sam Darnold business. We're in the business of
• 29:20
  Speaker 3: winning championships.
• 29:21
  Speaker 12: If that puts us in the best opportunity to win,
• 29:24
  Speaker 12: why are we not at least giving that a try?
• 29:27
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 29:27
  Speaker 6: Let me hit that one real quick, Jess. Let me
• 29:30
  Speaker 6: hit that one real quick. That's a great one. It's
• 29:32
  Speaker 6: a great one to start with. College, you see that.
• 29:37
  Speaker 6: The NFL, you do not. that it's as simple as
• 29:40
  Speaker 6: that i mean honestly and there's inherent differences between the
• 29:44
  Speaker 6: nfl and college and the nfl your number one is
• 29:48
  Speaker 6: your number one you don't have a five star sitting
• 29:52
  Speaker 6: behind you that's a highly recruited player You don't have
• 29:55
  Speaker 6: Owen Eshelman behind Caden Pinnock, who's accomplished nothing. You don't
• 29:59
  Speaker 6: have Elijah Brown behind DeMond Williams, who started at Stanford.
• 30:03
  Speaker 3: It's different.
• 30:04
  Speaker 6: I understand the sentiment, and there's probably parts of me
• 30:07
  Speaker 6: thinking the same thing yesterday.
• 30:08
  Speaker 3: All right, next one. We've got to get some in.
• 30:09
  Speaker 3: Let's go.
• 30:11
  Speaker 9: The Seahawks cannot and will not go back to Drew Locke.
• 30:15
  Speaker 11: They've never been an organization to press the panic button
• 30:19
  Speaker 11: and backpedal.
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: Sam Darnold... won them and.
• 30:23
  Speaker 14: Us a super bowl last year they're married to him
• 30:26
  Speaker 14: for another year or two hopefully he can improve go
• 30:29
  Speaker 14: hawks and i.
• 30:31
  Speaker 6: Think if you listen to corbin and even hugh this
• 30:33
  Speaker 6: morning it's not just him that needs to improve it's
• 30:34
  Speaker 6: everybody on the offense play calling offensive line running all
• 30:38
  Speaker 6: the running backs are just a disaster like let's just
• 30:39
  Speaker 6: be honest like that just you and i think that
• 30:42
  Speaker 6: goes back to play calling emmanuel wilson can't get to
• 30:43
  Speaker 6: the outside why are you running him on stretch plays
• 30:46
  Speaker 6: why i'm not i hate doing this because i'm not
• 30:48
  Speaker 6: an offensive coordinator i just i hate but like All
• 30:51
  Speaker 6: of our eyes see the same thing.
• 30:53
  Speaker 3: Next.
• 30:53
  Speaker 13: I never thought I.
• 30:57
  Speaker 14: Would say this, but the Seahawks need Anthony Bradford back,
• 31:02
  Speaker 14: and it's pretty obvious. Also, I will never, ever, ever
• 31:07
  Speaker 14: financially support any NBA franchise ever again.
• 31:13
  Speaker 6: That is a P1 listener who got segment one, Both
• 31:19
  Speaker 6: the first half of segment one and the second half
• 31:21
  Speaker 6: of segment one. By the way, all the Anthony Bradford
• 31:24
  Speaker 6: hate for all the last few years. Oh, you're missing
• 31:27
  Speaker 6: him right now, aren't you?
• 31:28
  Speaker 3: Aren't you?
• 31:28
  Speaker 6: The funny thing about Anthony Bradford, he's great in the
• 31:31
  Speaker 6: run game. His pass blocking has always traditionally been his weakness.
• 31:34
  Speaker 6: But would you not take that road grader right now
• 31:36
  Speaker 6: in the run blocking game?
• 31:37
  Speaker 3: All day and every day.
• 31:38
  Speaker 4: I mean, he makes the perfect point.
• 31:40
  Speaker 3: All day, every day. All right, we got a couple more. Jess,
• 31:42
  Speaker 3: how many more do we have?
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: We do.
• 31:44
  Speaker 4: Here, let's just keep going because they keep coming in.
• 31:46
  Speaker 3: Fire away.
• 31:47
  Speaker 9: In Sam's defense, he's got no running game, and the
• 31:51
  Speaker 9: offensive line is playing terrible. That said, he needs to
• 31:55
  Speaker 9: play better. They had an opportunity to win that game
• 31:57
  Speaker 9: last night, to win the 49er game, and he needs
• 32:02
  Speaker 9: to play better.
• 32:04
  Speaker 3: I think that nailed it.
• 32:05
  Speaker 6: I mean, I don't think you can say it any better.
• 32:08
  Speaker 6: I don't think you can say it any better. I
• 32:10
  Speaker 6: think he absolutely nailed it. He's got to be better,
• 32:13
  Speaker 6: but so does everybody else.
• 32:14
  Speaker 3: Continue, Jess.
• 32:16
  Speaker 15: Sam Donald is a bum. He led the league in
• 32:18
  Speaker 15: turnovers last year. He's on probably pace to beat that.
• 32:23
  Speaker 15: Drew Locke's 3-0 with roughly seven touchdowns, no picks, no fumbles.
• 32:27
  Speaker 15: Sam Donald's 0-3, seven, eight picks, multiple fumbles. We've lost
• 32:32
  Speaker 15: all three games because of his poor decision-making, and he
• 32:35
  Speaker 15: just looks scared back there. He's back again seeing ghosts.
• 32:38
  Speaker 15: Bench him, get rid of him, whatever you got to do.
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: He's not our guy.
• 32:42
  Speaker 3: Jess, we have 50 seconds left.
• 32:44
  Speaker 6: Can we squeeze one more in before we have to
• 32:45
  Speaker 6: toss it to Husky Football?
• 32:46
  Speaker 3: I can try.
• 32:48
  Speaker 16: So with all the talk about the Seahawks, a couple things.
• 32:52
  Speaker 16: I know the OC is getting bashed, and everybody wants
• 32:55
  Speaker 16: Drew Locke. But isn't it the same OC that Drew
• 32:58
  Speaker 16: Locke had that Sam Donald has? So I don't know
• 33:02
  Speaker 16: if it's going to make much difference. I think we
• 33:04
  Speaker 16: should go with Sam Donald at least for one more game.
• 33:08
  Speaker 16: He has no running game, and... Lucas and Zabel were
• 33:12
  Speaker 16: terrible last night. So one more game of Sam.
• 33:16
  Speaker 3: I don't think you could say it much better than that.
• 33:17
  Speaker 3: I'll say this.
• 33:18
  Speaker 6: If you were listening to our show earlier today, both
• 33:20
  Speaker 6: Greg Bell and myself were on the press conference with
• 33:22
  Speaker 6: Mike McDonald, and they're not making a quarterback change. It'll
• 33:25
  Speaker 6: be Sam Darnold under center against the Kansas City Chiefs
• 33:28
  Speaker 6: next week.
• 33:29
  Speaker 3: All right, that's it. We're back with three hours on Monday.
• 33:31
  Speaker 3: Thank goodness.
• 33:32
  Speaker 6: We're going to need four or five hours. Don't tell
• 33:34
  Speaker 6: the boss that. Husky football at Purdue coming up next.
