• 1:33
  Speaker 1: Not even a question. Domination. Domination, yeah. I was in
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: question the entire night. I live in that world.
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: You were like, at what point is Ken Walker just
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: going to rip one?
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: I'm a Wazoo fan. Understand that.
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: Fair.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: It's going to happen.
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you do worry that they're just going to.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: I don't know what the actual... Actually, let me look
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: back here. I'll tell you when I felt... I remember...
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: I was going to write it down and then I
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: was like, you know, I'm having a couple of beers.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: I'm busy. I got stuff going on. I don't want
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: to write this down. I think yes. Uh, when this
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: is the, hang on, bear with me. Cause it was,
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: it was, there was a moment, there was a moment
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: in time. I said, game over. And it, yeah, it was,
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: it was the touchdown. It was the Emmanuel Wilson touchdown
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: from 21 yards. I kind of felt before that, okay,
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: you're going to get a field goal at least. And
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: it's going to be, out of reach probably, but the
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: 21-yard touchdown, 20-3, thanks for coming, game over, ball game,
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: we're over. And I know it's late in the game,
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: but I kept kind of waiting. I think a lot
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: of us were waiting. When's Pat Mahomes going to turn
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: into Pat Mahomes? The Ken Walker part of it, I
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: don't know about you. I didn't feel as if he
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: was going to get going. I felt confident in that defense. Mahomes,
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: and we talked about this on our show last week,
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: the Mahomes part of it is what scared me.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: Well, and that as it should, because we've even talked
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: about how good he's been this year and how kind
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: of under the radar it's been like the start of
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: a season. So you could assume too, that that's kind
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: of going to be how his game is going to go, right?
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: And it's going to be under the radar.
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: And all of a sudden he's going to be sneaking
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: this team back into it and getting them going.
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: I just, the way the defense was playing though, I
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: was like, I just don't see. I, I, My only
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: concern was, is the offense going to do enough to
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: help us?
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: Well, and that's why I said it. Like, your defense
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: is fine. Defense all year has been fine. You know,
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: I saw there's a stat today. I think Seattle's like
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: fifth or sixth, whatever it is. And there's a game,
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: two games, two teams left to play tonight. In terms
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: of points allowed this year. Like, Seattle's in the upper echelon.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: Minnesota's number one. They're just... What they're doing is insane.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: Brian Flores' defense there.
• 3:45
  Speaker 4: But.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: You know, Seattle, you're like, oh, they've given up, I
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: think it's 124, whatever it is. Well, then you take
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: away the two pick sixes. Is there two, right?
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: One against Washington, then the 49ers.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: Oh, it was the fumble in the end zone. And
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: then the short fields, right?
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: And all of a sudden you're down to this defense
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: has given up like four or five drives all year.
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's it.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: That's it. On regular fields, like, you know, of 60, 70,
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: 80 yards. That part didn't worry me. It was what
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: you just said. It was the offense. Let me do
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: this because now listen, I applaud the show before us,
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: the 10 to 12 shows, Greg Bell and Jessamyn McIntyre.
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: I applaud them taking the phone calls. That's awesome. Good
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: for you guys. Uh, we're not going to do that. Uh,
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: we take phone calls for Funston on Thursdays.
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: That's, that's when we do it. Uh, but we do
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: love talkbacks. We want to hear from you guys.
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: Uh, it's easier.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: It's cleaner. It's more, more concise. You can get your
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: 30 seconds. Tell us what you think. Uh, I'll tell
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: you what I want from you in a second, but
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: all you have to do is go to iHeartRadio app,
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: the red microphone on that iHeartRadio app that says 93.3
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: KJR FM. Click on the red microphone. You speak for
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: 30 seconds. Tell us what's on your mind. 49451 is
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: the Tacoma Dodge text line, 49451. Your thoughts, your comments,
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: your questions, concerns are always welcome. We've got Hugh Millen
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: at 1 o'clock for an hour. We've got Mike Sando
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: at 2 p.m. for a segment. We've got Factor Fiction.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: We may have to talk about a change in policy
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: there with Ashley taking more picks than Ian because it's
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: not been going well for one of us so far.
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: I do feel like you've been cursed.
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: Thank you, Utah. And the other two you can probably send.
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: And BYU can suck it.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: Wow. And I've said that many times in my life.
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: Well, so did I live there.
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: Not surprised.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: That wasn't good. But we, yeah, we've got Factor Fiction 235.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: Usually we squeeze in some phone calls and texts at 230.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: Let's do this. Maybe we'll shoot for 1245. We'll get
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: some thoughts. Okay. And maybe a talkback or two as
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: well at 1245. Sounds good to me. Here's what I
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: want to do. Has your opinion of this team, did
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: your opinion of this team change yesterday? Because one week ago, well,
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: a week and three days ago, even though we didn't
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: have much of a show that Friday after the Denver game,
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: but the back-to-back losses to the 49ers and the Broncos
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: over the span of five days, there was not a
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: lot of to steal a phrase from Gino Suarez, not
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: a lot of good vibes here, right? There just were
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: not a lot of good vibes. And I think, and
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: rightfully so, like there were blemishes for this team and
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: there still are. I mean, yes, they ran the football
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: well yesterday. Emmanuel Wilson, 24 for a hundred, 21 coming
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: on the touchdown run. They ran as a team for 153.
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: You know, the other two running backs really didn't do
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: much in anything. Valus Jones had an 11 yard run. Uh,
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: which was great. The problem is his other four runs
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: resulted in, uh, what was it? It'd be minus three yards.
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: I think so.
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: It's the wrong direction.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: Yes. And Halani had five carries for 11. Uh, when
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: you take out, you know, his one carry for five,
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: he had four carries for six yards. Okay. All right.
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: So they didn't run the ball necessarily that effectively outside
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: of the numbers look good. Uh, Darnold scrambles help immensely.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: He had two scrambles totaling, uh, 17 yards. So those
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: kind of help skew the numbers. But the blemishes still exist,
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: I think, offensively. The pass protection was way better. Sam
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: still threw an egregious interception. JSN was JSN. He's the
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: Offensive Player of the Year for a reason last year,
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: and he's on track to do at least the same
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: thing in terms of numbers as a year ago. We
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: all love the fact A.J. Barner got more involved.
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: I was going to say, we use the tight ends more.
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: I like that.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: He got more involved. Salbert also had a catch as well.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: Cooper cupped two early catches. which were both big for Seattle.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: Rashid Shaheed had a couple of catches before he got hurt,
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: but they went for nothing. So there's still some things
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: there that you kind of like, they need to clean up.
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: They need to get better. No Charbonnet, no Jadarian Price.
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: So there's a chance for a nice little uptick. But
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: my question would be this. Do you all, listening right now,
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: do people, has your perception changed? Do you feel better
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: about this team now? Maybe you've never lost confidence in
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: this team. I'd love to get your thoughts. If you
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: are going to tell me you never lost confidence, God
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: bless you. And in Mike McDonald and John Schnatter, we trust. Man, hallelujah.
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: Good for you. But I'm not believing you. Because we
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: see the text messages. We hear the listeners. We know
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: what's going on.
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: We had people thinking Ken Walker was going to run
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: for 125 yards against us. No matter how many times
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: we said the Seahawks defense has not given up a
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: 100-yard rusher since 2024.
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: In the first half, he was going to run for that.
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: There was that. There was a lot of talk. So now,
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: a week later, how do you feel about this team?
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: There's also the simple math. We should get to this, too.
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: Nice little bonus over the weekend. Big, big thanks to Big,
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: big thanks to Pennix and the Atlanta Falcons.
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's right.
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: Big, big thank you to the Atlanta Falcons who knock
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: off your friends and mine, the 49ers. And now all
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: of a sudden, we could have used a little more help,
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: by the way, with the Rams. Yeah.
• 9:06
  Speaker 4: Clint.
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: Kubiak?
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Where were you on that one, buddy?
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: Could have used a little bit from you, but that's fine.
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: That's fine. But a very nice, very, very nice, thank
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: you very much, victory by the Atlanta Falcons over the
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: San Francisco 49ers, who are now 6-1. So you're basically
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: three games back still. But if you just think about
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: where we could have been today, this day today, we
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: could have been sitting here on October 26th saying, wow,
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: you are sitting at 4-4, the 49ers are 7-0, and
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: any hope for the division is out the door. You're
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: hoping for a wild card. At 4-4, you're also a
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: couple games back of that as well along the way.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: So this could have been a really, really bad Sunday.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: It ends up being a pretty good Sunday. Not a
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: great Sunday. Rams losing would have been nice, but it
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: was still a very good Sunday for Seattle. So a
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: week ago, I still think a wild card is the
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: best chance, Ash. I still think that's still the best
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: path right now and the most likely path. But the
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: 49ers showed some vulnerability, which is good. Cross-country hard. Never know.
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: Maybe a letdown from the week before.
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: Maybe, but I mean, I thought too, I was like, man,
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: if the 49ers can be without Mike Evans, who's been
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: the key for this team this year, and they would
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: still win, now I'm like really frightened of this team.
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: But obviously they had some injuries and it finally caught
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: up with them because we'd been wondering when that was
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: going to happen. I do think that you know, talking
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: all of the conversation we were having last week, just
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: about our concerns about the Seahawks team and things like that.
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: I do think part of that has been fueled by
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: the fact that the 49ers have come out to such
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: a hot start. And so having them kind of be
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: brought back down to earth a bit yesterday.
• 11:02
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: I know lots of injuries, but still made me think, okay,
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: I hadn't really actually lost.
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: I don't think confidence in our team to get the
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: job done.
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: It was just, you can take care of all your
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: own business and you're still having to rely on the
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: 49ers to, To help you out.
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: Well, at the end of the day, that's still going
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: to have to happen.
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly.
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: They still, you know.
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: But I do have faith we can take care of
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: our own business. Yeah.
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: And I think that's, taking care of your own business,
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: I think was, listen, you can be the most diehard
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: Arden supporter, big time, like brah, brah, 12th man, 12,
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: all this kind of stuff. End zone neck tattoo guy,
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: Seahawks rule. You can be all day long. And the
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: math is still the math. And you have three losses
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: in that column on the right.
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: Yep.
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: And because of that, you are going to need help
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: along the way from San Francisco itself. Because even if
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: you beat them, when you see them on Thanksgiving weekend,
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: even if you beat them, you still need them to
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: find a couple more losses and you can't afford to
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: have any slip-ups. But yesterday was massive because of the
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: way the schedule sets up. And I think that's the
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: other part that kind of came in. We'll get into
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: some of the numbers in terms of the game itself
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: in the next segment that are just astonishing. But the
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: way the schedule sets up, with who and what Seattle
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: was facing, this was a big, big, big game. Because
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: then you've got a Chicago team coming in here that
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: looked really good the other night and is sitting at 5-2.
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: And Ben Johnson has that offense humming. Caleb Williams, hamstring
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: or no hamstring, it doesn't matter if the guy's a
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: little bit of a diva and you kind of question
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: what's going on with him. Doesn't matter. He's playing at
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: a high level. And, you know, even without the Roma-Dunze
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: experience being worth a damn, he's got a couple really
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: good tight ends. Luther Burden's, well.
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: Luther Burden has emerged, yeah.
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: DeAndre Smith is a stud. And they're a pretty good
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: football team. So, you know, I think when you look
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: at all those things, with them on the horizon, there's
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: no gimmies in this league. And when you have that
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: first-place schedule, there's really no gimmies in this league. So
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: yesterday was huge.
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: It was.
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: Yesterday was huge. In hockey... We talk sometimes about a
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: scheduled loss and like Florida was a scheduled loss. End
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: of a long road trip. You're tired, you're gassed, you're done, whatever.
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: It's a really good team. And it's the last stop
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: on the trip. Like you're not, it's just, your chances
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: aren't great. But the ones that aren't scheduled losses, you
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: got to find a way to win. This was not
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: a scheduled loss yesterday, but when you mark down the,
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: when you do the, the, the, the schedule roulette at
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: the start of the season, And even if you're very,
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: like I always go through, and I'm pretty much always
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: like a 12-5 guy. Sometimes you might get to 13-4,
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: like last year. But I usually go at, like, even
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: in the worst days of peak year, I'm like, ah,
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: and those were 16 games scheduled. I'm like, yeah, they're
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: a 12-14. This was one that you would be thinking about,
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: is Kansas City.
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you wouldn't have felt confident putting a W by it.
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: You would not have felt at all confident. And then
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: I probably would have felt confident with Chicago. Now I'm
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: less so. But I think if that team that played
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: yesterday shows up next Monday, a week from tonight, then
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: I'm massively confident. Because Caleb Williams is playing at a
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: high level, and he's really good. And he's faster and
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: more elusive than Mahomes. But Mahomes is still so, just
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: gets out of trouble. You think you've got him all
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: these times. Caleb can do all those things, but he's
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: still not the quarterback that Pat Mahomes is. He probably
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: has better weapons around him in terms of the receivers.
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: But that Seahawks defense might be able to feast on
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: his backside next week and all that. So I feel
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: good about that. Yesterday was just huge. Just absolutely huge.
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: And for no other reason. The defense, no concerns this season.
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: None whatsoever. They're playing great. They are who they are.
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: The offense doesn't need to necessarily win you games. but
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: they cannot keep losing games for you. And they've done
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: that way too much this season. And actually yesterday, they
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: didn't lose the game for you. They helped contribute to
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: the win.
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and that was the nice thing.
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, I think everybody has all the confidence
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: in the world on this defense, but is the offense
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: going to just do enough? to not make it harder
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: on the defense. And they have been making it very
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: hard on the defense. And so to see that turnaround
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: yesterday and just kind of that we played it safer. Yeah,
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: we had that red zone interception. I keep replaying it
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: in my head. That's so annoying. I 100% agree. But
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: it was one compared to three turnovers or four. I mean,
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: you know, it was such an improvement. And I think
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: it just restored all of the confidence that I had
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: in the defense. Because you've got to see the defense
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: actually be able to perform how they're supposed to be
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: able to perform, not trying to.
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: Just stop a team that gets the ball at the 10.
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: What went through your mind when you threw that pick?
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: Not good words.
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: Yes. Nothing you could say on the radio.
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: Nothing I could say on the radio. And I thought,
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: how are we still doing this? How is he still
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: making these choices? They showed the replay.
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: I wasn't.
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: As mad about it after the replay, but it's still just,
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: you just got to be safe.
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: That's it. You cannot keep kicking yourselves, shooting yourselves in
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: the foot. That's the phrase, right? Shooting yourselves in the foot.
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: You cannot keep doing that.
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: And it seems that we can put ourselves in these
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: great situations and then it's just one rushed decision.
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: And it changes everything. And I thought that was going
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: to change everything.
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: What you just said there is exactly right. Exactly the
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: conversation that the group I was with was saying last night.
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: That's the exact, exactly. It's you've dominated this game. You've
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: done everything right. Everything in this game says Seattle's going to,
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: you know, they're going to handle their business. You know,
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: like even the concern that, oh, is Ken Walker going
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: to go bananas at some point and go crazy and
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: start doing, you know, 2026 Ken Walker things. All those
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: things coming into play. They had 96 net yards at
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: that point, at the end of the half. And when
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: Seattle was sitting with that drive. And, you know, I mean,
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: think about what, I'm just going to, Ken Walker had
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: nine carries for 28 yards in the first half. Pat
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: Mahomes was 8 of 15 for 68 yards and an interception.
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: Quarterback rating, passer rating of 37.6. Everything's going your way.
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: Everything is going your way. And there's really no belief
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: that Things are going to change dramatically with halftime adjustments.
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: You're up 10-0. At worst, it's going to be 13-0.
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: At the very worst, it's going to be 13-0. And then,
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: lo and behold, there's the Sam Darnold interception. Hell of
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: an effort by the entire, really, almost, I would say
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: about 9 of the 11 guys on the offense, maybe.
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: that were able to kind of get back into the play.
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: I think four of the five offensive linemen were there.
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: Cross was kind of really the guy, but you saw
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: Lucas and you saw everybody else chasing it down and
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: making sure that they did not score. Because can you
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: imagine 10-7?
• 18:22
  Speaker 4: No.
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: Now you go in thinking, oh God, we're one more
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: mistake away from losing this game.
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: And we make mistakes.
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: You've done nothing at all wrong defensively. You've given them
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: no reason whatsoever, none whatsoever. To feel like they're in
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: this game, and then all of a sudden that happens.
• 18:41
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: And instead, you force– Eamon Worry makes a great tackle
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: on the one play, and then you have a 58-yard
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: field goal. It wasn't going to happen. You know, Maureen
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: Lair was settling in. Thank you very much. And he
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: falls short, just like back in the day with– who
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: was the Mariner that used to hate it?
• 18:56
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: The first baseman that used to just go bananas every
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: time he hit a ball to the warning track in
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: right field. Do you know what I'm talking about? Oh, no,
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: I can't think of who it was.
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah, someone on the text line.
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: Oh, it's a Marine layer. We should be, that would
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: have been a home run everywhere. Now, you know what? Sorry,
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: you freak, Harrison Butker, your stuff falls short. And, you know,
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: you hate women and you don't deserve good things. So
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: that's what happened there.
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: And he gave me my gem of a tweet. Harrison Butker.
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: More like Harrison Sucker.
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: Sucker! Love it.
• 19:23
  Speaker 3: Love it. Worst joke ever, but I really enjoyed it.
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: Well, why not? So, yeah. So they get... So it's
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: a 10. So you end up with that. And I
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: say 10-0, 10-3 when it was all said and done.
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: And you're loving life, man. You are absolutely loving life.
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: And what a great, great 10-0 of the half. You
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: go on to win. You get that. It just was...
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: Just a magical night, I think, too. And it felt
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: like that the crowd was into it. Felt like it
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: was a great atmosphere. We talked about that with Jaron
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: Reed last week. So all the fans did stuff that
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: they needed to do. You get a win. So how
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: do you feel about the team today any different than
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: you did a week ago today? 49451 on the Tacoma
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: Dutch text line. Love to get some talkbacks as well.
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: And we will hammer some texts and some talkbacks. We'll
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: get your feedback on at 12.45 today. We'll do it
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: again at 2.30 with the ones that come in later,
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: but we will get some at 12.45 today before we
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: get to Hugh Mellon, Mike Sando, Factor Fiction, your chance
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: to win $ 1, 000. Is there for you a $ 10, 000 grand
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: prize at the Lucky Eagle Casino and Hotel? All that
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: coming up on 93.3 KGFM. I don't know if I
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: call this breaking news, but a little change of some news.
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: It's 10 months out, but I'll mention it. What the hell?
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: The 2027 Boeing Apple Cup. Maybe our next chance for
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: a win in Pullman. Although I see Landon Hatch, it's
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: out for the year, and I guess he'll try to
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: come back for his 15th year of college football next year.
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: I was like, wait, I don't know how old he is,
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: but he's got to have been in college since 2017.
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: Hang on a second. Hang on. I'm going to find
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: that out because I don't get it.
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: Because he didn't even leave or was going to leave
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: and go to somewhere else, and then he came back or.
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: He was– I'll ask Softie later, and then he'll get mad.
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: What do you care? What do you care? Well, I'm
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: just curious. I'm very curious about this. I haven't figured
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: out the college eligibility world yet. I think that's why
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: I'm curious, right? Yeah. Just because you don't really know, like–
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: let's see.
• 21:38
  Speaker 3: Name.
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: Is it– okay, here we go. is that guy playing
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: at all, the former Coug? Does he play much?
• 21:45
  Speaker 4: Who?
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: Al Okuda.
• 21:46
  Speaker 3: Oh, I don't know. That's a great question.
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: Hatchet, Hatchet. There's two of them, right?
• 21:51
  Speaker 4: Hatchet.
• 21:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah, there's Guerin and Landon.
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: So Guerin is in his seventh. Okay, so this makes
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: a little bit more sense. Guerin's in his, wait for it,
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: seventh year.
• 22:01
  Speaker 3: Okay, and Landon's the younger one.
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: He's the younger one. He's in his fourth year.
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: Which is like a normal college career, so that's not bad.
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: So if you get the red shirt, maybe it's a
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: second red shirt, I don't know. So that'll be his
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: first game back because he's out for the year. Yeah,
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: so he played in 23, 24, 25, and 26, right?
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: So he's played four years, but I think he's only
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: played one or two games. He's played two games this year.
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: So that's what red shirts were made for.
• 22:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: That's what they're made for.
• 22:33
  Speaker 3: That's the appropriate usage of a red shirt.
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: Dude gets hurt from Ferndale, local guy, you know, fine.
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: That's what they're made for. Anyway. Yeah, so the Apple
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: Cup's been moved to August 28th. It was going to
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: be September 18th.
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: Now it's going to be August 28th. It'll be the
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: first game of the year for both teams. Remember, there's
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: no more week zero nonsense this year.
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, even though August 28th kind of implies to me
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: that it's week zero, but it's not.
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, because they got rid of that.
• 22:59
  Speaker 3: Because this year they said there was no more Week
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: Zero stuff, right?
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: But then they had games the weekend before when they
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: just called it Week One. But then USC played in
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: Week 1A.
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: And Week 1B. So how does that work?
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: Well, listen, we're trying to figure out college football here,
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: and I don't know if that's going to work for us.
• 23:16
  Speaker 3: Oh, also, answer to your question, Justin Smoak.
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and I want a big shout-out to my good friend,
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: Ryan Peterson, with a D, Peterson. He texted me that
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: right afterwards. I didn't see my phone. It was face down,
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: and I know a bunch of texts came in. Yeah,
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: Justin Smoak. Justin Smoak, he had the same complaints that
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: Harrison Butker had. Oh, yeah. Marine layer, marine layer. Okay, so.
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: The numbers yesterday were astonishing. And we're going to get
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: your text, 49451.
• 23:43
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: Has your attitude at all changed about this team in
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: a week's time? Maybe it hasn't. Then I'm going to
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: tell you you're lying. But anyway, we'll read them anyway. Also,
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: we'll have to get some talkbacks as well. Go to
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: the iHeartRadio app, red microphone. We'll get a few in
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: at 1245 and then a few more at 231. I
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: want to get your chance to react to what was
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: just a great victory, right? Like, I mean, I think
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: these are... And I was joking with Greg and Jess
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: because they took phone calls. I guess they had a
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: ton of phone calls today, which is awesome. Usually, and
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: I was telling Greg this, and this is why it's
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: probably good to have Greg on because he's like, screw,
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: I don't care what you guys normally do. This is
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: what we're going to do. And then all of a sudden,
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: he got a ton of phone calls. Good for him. Normally,
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: we don't get phone calls on sports radio unless things
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: are really bad.
• 24:26
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: Or a trade happens. Like the Russell Wilson trade day
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: was nuts.
• 24:31
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: Then you have to take phone calls, texts, everything. People
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: have to.
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: But they're hard because you've got to screen them and
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: then people still talk like they normally do. It's not
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: like the old days of sports radio where people were
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: careful when you got to hit the dump button. So, no.
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: But it was, yeah, like normally it's when things are
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: going south. Not after what happened yesterday, which was a
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: magnificent win, right? Usually it's like, well, that's fine. I'm
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: not calling in. That was not the case today. So
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: we'll get all your feedback in. Let me just ask
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: you one thing. What was your favorite play of the game?
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: Oh.
• 25:03
  Speaker 3: What was my favorite play of the game? Is it
• 25:06
  Speaker 3: bad that it was Butker missing a field goal?
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: Nope, not at all. Not at all. He hates women,
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: so that's okay. As one of the young guys with me,
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: and I'm watching with a bunch of young 20-year-olds, as
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: one of them said, this is how bad that is
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: for him. They're like, well, I guess he can be
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: a stay-at-home dad soon.
• 25:25
  Speaker 3: I mean, good for them. You know what?
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: Screw you. You don't like women, you're done.
• 25:28
  Speaker 3: Put your housework ahead of your career.
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: Clown. Anyway, mine was, I don't even know what time
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: it was. And we didn't really, we saw it, then
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: you saw it in the replay. Eamon Worry.
• 25:40
  Speaker 3: Yes, I was going to say that too.
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: Covering man-to-man against the fastest guy in a 40 in
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: the combine in Xavier Worthy.
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: And then a play later rushing the passer from the
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: defensive line.
• 25:53
  Speaker 3: He's just, I mean.
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: Flipping unicorn, man.
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: I will say, you think about today, our reaction and
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: how good we feel after that win and how bad
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: we felt on Friday when we heard he was questionable.
• 26:05
  Speaker 3: It was like, wait a minute.
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: You know, first you're surprised that Zach Charbonnet is not
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: going to suit up. It's like, all we've been hearing
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: is that he's going to play from the coaching staff.
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: Which still doesn't pass the sniff test. Yeah. Because they
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: don't let guys talk if they're not playing. They fully
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: expected him to play.
• 26:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's so... I don't know.
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: That's a little behind the scenes, but that's.
• 26:24
  Speaker 3: If there was a setback or something?
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: I don't know. Maybe a last-second decision. But yeah, go ahead.
• 26:29
  Speaker 3: Oh, no, it's fine. And so then... But I just think.
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: I kept replaying that in my head last night, watching
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: the game, thinking, I am so glad Nicky Manwari is
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: in this game.
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah. When he was banged up in the pre-Super Bowl practices,
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: and that story came out from the pool reporter, Like,
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: I'll be honest, I was panicked. I was flat-out panicked. Yeah.
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: And I think, like, he is.
• 26:54
  Speaker 4: I.
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: Don't know if he's the most important player on that defense,
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: but if he's not, he's in the top two.
• 27:00
  Speaker 3: I mean, you said it. He's a unicorn. He is
• 27:02
  Speaker 3: just so special.
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: You can't replace him with one player that can do
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: the same thing he can.
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: It's because of what he's able to do. Like, Witherspoon's
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: phenomenal at what he does. But in his world, his position...
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: You're going to see him get beat, and you're going
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: to go, oh, Devin, why'd you get beat? Or you're
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: going to get PI, whatever it is. It just comes
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: with the nature of that position. Byron Murphy, he made
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: money yesterday. He made money yesterday. He kind of makes
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: money any time. Because with his upcoming contract, he's going
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: to make a lot of money. Byron Murphy is, and
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: it's so fun to watch him because, hey, all you
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: guys that were chirping about Byron Murphy, oh, I don't know, man,
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: Jalen Carter, all these other things. Just watch. You watch
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: that dude. He is a bad mofo, man. He is
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: a dude. And he gets better by the day. Not
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: everybody comes into this league, or any league, and is
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: great right off the get-go.
• 27:56
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: We talk about that in hockey all the time. With
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: Berkeley Cats having a great year. And he's so much
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: better this year. He's 20 years old. Well, he only
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: had 17 points last year. Yeah, not everybody comes in
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: at 19 and is great.
• 28:09
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: Guys get better. Byron Murphy gets better by the snap.
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: By the snap, he gets better.
• 28:14
  Speaker 3: It sure seems like it.
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: And it seems like he's been here for five years
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: because he just, the way he carries himself, too.
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: And then you look at Derek Hall, you know, made
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: his presence felt yesterday. That was phenomenal to watch, right?
• 28:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, because it felt like he hadn't been, I hadn't
• 28:28
  Speaker 3: seen him.
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: No, and like he was, but Eamon Worry is just
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: a flat out, Every snap, because you don't know where
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: he's going to be, just a difference maker. And it
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: is so fun to watch him. So fun to watch him.
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: And also, Chris Collinsworth, it's just Eman Worry. It's not
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: E-Man Worry.
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: Here's a guy.
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: You don't have to enunciate the man every time.
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: If you played the Steve Spagnuolo drinking game with Collinsworth
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: last night, you're probably not able to even move this morning.
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: You're probably just now getting up.
• 29:01
  Speaker 3: That would be rough.
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: Well, Spagnola, we're watching the Seattle offense. And we're not even,
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: or watching the Seattle defense. Seattle defense.
• 29:10
  Speaker 3: I know what you meant.
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: I mean, just the fact, lowest yards ever for Mahomes.
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: First time he's never been in the red zone.
• 29:17
  Speaker 3: Mm-hmm.
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: 11 first downs, a low. I mean, all these things.
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: He's historically low, a historically low bad game for Patrick Mahomes. Mm-hmm.
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: That's what Seattle did. To a first ballot, no-brainer, unanimous,
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: it's not even a question. Guy's going to go into
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame, and you can make the argument
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: he's one of the top two or three quarterbacks of
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: all time. And he's not past his prime. He rolled in.
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: here and just got punched right in the face and
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: never got back up. That's what happened yesterday with that
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: Seahawks defense.
• 29:47
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: We want to hear from you. Let's get your thoughts. Talkbacks, text.
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: We'll do that coming up next.
• 29:57
  Speaker 3: We'll be right back.
• 30:02
  Speaker 4: This is Sammy the Seahawk. I'm a relative of the
• 30:06
  Speaker 4: ancient mariner.
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: No doubt.
• 30:08
  Speaker 4: My interpretation of this team changed last night when that
• 30:12
  Speaker 4: defense played like they played leading up and into the
• 30:16
  Speaker 4: Super Bowl. That team last night was not going to
• 30:20
  Speaker 4: get beat.
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: I loved it. Nice. And he was related to the
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: ancient Mariner. Oh, yeah, definitely. I think. Very closely. What
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: was he?
• 30:29
  Speaker 3: Sammy the Seahawk.
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: Sammy the Seahawk and the ancient Mariner.
• 30:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah.
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: Combined age?
• 30:35
  Speaker 3: One million.
• 30:39
  Speaker 4: At least.
• 30:39
  Speaker 3: Seahawks did great last night, but we still need to
• 30:44
  Speaker 3: address the running back.
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: So we need a trade, John. Let's go. Okay, let
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: me stop there. This was a big conversation for us.
• 30:53
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: With our little group of youngins last night that were
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: drinking my tavern beer.
• 30:59
  Speaker 3: Oh, rude.
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: I know. No, that's what it's there for.
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: I know.
• 31:02
  Speaker 3: I'm just kidding.
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: If they drink it, then I don't. That's good. That's
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: a good thing. So, like, the Jonathan Taylor thing comes
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: up all the time. Like, right? Or Saquon Barkley.
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: Mm-hmm.
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: I just... John is... John Schneider is aggressive at the
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: trade deadline. He's very similar to DePoto. Like, if there's
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: a move to be made at trade deadline... where other
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: guys are going to stand, Pat, he gets after it
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: a little bit. I don't think the running back position
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: for a guy like Taylor or Barkley makes sense when
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: you drafted a guy in the first round and you
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: still don't know what you have because the draft capital
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: and what you'd have to give up to get him,
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: one of those guys. Now, if you're going to say, well,
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: we're going to trade Price and a third-round pick And
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: we're going to get Taylor and he's going to extend
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: his contract and be here for a while. Okay, I'll
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: dance with you there. But I just don't think that
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: that's going to happen. I think they're going to live
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: and see what happens when Charbonnet comes back. What does
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: Price look like when he comes back? And away you go.
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: McDonald speaks today at 3. He said this morning on
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: his radio show that we're waiting on Cross's injury. We're
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: waiting on Price's injury. No, you're not. You just don't
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: want to tell us yet. You're telling me that That
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: you don't know? No, you know.
• 32:19
  Speaker 4: You know.
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 32:22
  Speaker 3: All right, last one here.
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: I'm confident as long as Sam Donald becomes Clark Kent.
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: I don't need Superman Donald. I just need Clark Kent,
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: and we'll be fine. I like that. I think that's good.
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: I like that a lot.
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think so. Yeah, you don't need him to
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: be Superman. Just be good.
• 32:41
  Speaker 4: Exactly.
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: With this defense, you just need him to get the
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: job done and, again, not beat themselves.
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: 49451253. You forgot Ian thinks the Niners are this juggernaut.
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: If you watch them on almost every one of theirs,
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: they are beatable and won by a couple. They aren't
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: this scary team. Bring it down a notch. Nope, they're
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: still winning. If Mike Evans is healthy and they're getting
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: other guys back now, And, you know, when Bosa's healthy,
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: like in kill play yesterday, although he did have that fumble,
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: I did laugh at that. You don't think they're very good?
• 33:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, they are good.
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: The thing that's been haunting them for the last couple
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: seasons has been injuries, and they've still managed to get
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: enough wins to make it to the playoffs.
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: They've been more beat up than anything. They didn't have
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: room on their injured reserve list two weeks ago. And
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: they are still 6-1.
• 33:34
  Speaker 3: We didn't know if they were going to be able
• 33:35
  Speaker 3: to field a full roster.
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: Yes, yes. By the way, just real quick before I
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: go back to the SEAC ones. Yes, Justin Smoak. Seen
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: a lot of those texts. Yes, I got that. Thanks,
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: Ryan Peterson. Thanks to everybody else. Justin Smoak's the guy
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: that didn't like the Marine layer and got all bent
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: out of shape all the time. Okay. Let's see. 49451.
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: I was there last night. Says a 253. I feel
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: way better. No fumbles. The KC fans have turned into
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: the new Niner fans. So obnoxious. Well, the good news
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: is you don't have to see them every eight years here.
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: So that's the good news. Okay? Don't worry about it.
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: We don't have to worry about those. Well, you could
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: always see them again, right?
• 34:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: You could always see them again. Let's see. Sorry about
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: the blacker comments, everybody. I know everybody's upset about that.
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to read those. We live in an
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: interesting world. Okay. I would definitely say my opinion has changed,
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: says the 253. After this win. Going into this game,
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: I feel stressed. Wasn't sure if we could win. I
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: know now that we've won that I feel like we're
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: on course. The Seahawks were three days ago. I didn't
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: feel that. Yeah, that was kind of my point. I
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: just wonder how many people kind of have felt like
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: that is like your perception kind of changed. You got
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: that big win. I mean, because you look at, let's see,
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: you know, you beat The Patriots, and since then, I mean,
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: they're probably a better team than they were then that
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: first week. But you beat the Patriots, right? You beat
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: the Chargers, great. You beat the Cardinals, fine. I mean,
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: a winless team and a bad team in your division
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: and a team in the Patriots who you kind of
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: have their number. We always talk about, like, who have
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: you beat? You know, like in college football, which, by
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: the way, anarchy, just absolute craziness this weekend. We'll get
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: to that. Tuesdays are kind of our college football day.
• 35:26
  Speaker 4: But.
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: That was a good win. Like, that was kind of a, hey,
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: we just beat a top-five team.
• 35:32
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: Or if it's college football, top-ten team, whatever it would be.
• 35:35
  Speaker 4: Right?
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: That's who you beat.
• 35:37
  Speaker 3: Shut them down.
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, not just beat them down, really.
• 35:41
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah. Let's see. 2-4, 2-5. Great game, but still
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: frustrated by some of the play calling the red zone.
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: When you have first and goal at the 9 or
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: 10-yard line, then you run up the middle twice, it's
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: almost a guarantee that you'll have a third and goal
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: from the 6 or 7. Then you don't have a
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: choice but to pass. I've heard Mike Holmgren on multiple
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: occasions state, when you're in the red zone, call play,
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: there's a good chance of scoring a touchdown. Those run
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: attempts at the middle with nine or ten yards to
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: go for a touchdown seem to be a wasted place.
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: I'll ask you, it felt like Brian Fleury had a
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: better game, but I don't know. I just can't judge that.
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: I don't think any of us really can, necessarily.
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: Well, I think, I mean, we saw some different things
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: that we weren't used to, and obviously the run game
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: looked better, and so I think, yeah, I think it
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: seemed like he did.
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: How about this one? I like this. People are great.
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: You guys are awesome. This is from the 360. Stats.
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: Big time number stats here, Ashley.
• 36:31
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: 360, thanks for this. Both losses were by three points.
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: Yesterday's win was the losers only got three points. How
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: about that stat?
• 36:38
  Speaker 3: Whoa.
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: Huh?
• 36:41
  Speaker 3: I like that stat.
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: You like that stat?
• 36:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's also just the reminder of the losses. I
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: don't love that, but I like that.
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: I'm going to check something here. So... Yeah, lost by two,
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: lost by four, and lost by three. Okay, yeah.
• 37:01
  Speaker 3: I was going to say, I know that Commanders was three, right?
• 37:03
  Speaker 3: Or was that two?
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: Commanders was 33-31. Yeah, two, okay.
• 37:08
  Speaker 3: Niners was three.
• 37:10
  Speaker 4: 32-29, three, four.
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: No, that's three. No, all three. Yeah, three. No, my
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: math was off. My math wasn't math.
• 37:17
  Speaker 3: That happens. You're a coug.
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: I told you before, six, eight, 12-pack, 18-pack sometimes.
• 37:23
  Speaker 4: 24-pack.
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: And a 24. A tavern beer. That's what we have.
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: All right. Coming up, we'll get some more of your
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: texts later on in the show at 2.30 today. 49451.
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: Somebody did say, I'm so stoked about the upcoming matchup
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: between Ben Johnson and Mike McDonald. Yeah, that'll be a
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: good one. That'll be a good one. Greg Bell had
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: a great point earlier. You give Mike McDonald more than
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: five or six days to get ready?
• 37:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: Look out. Fifth runner for Tony Pollard?
• 37:53
  Speaker 4: Yeah, 100%.
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: I don't... The Tony Pollard thing's interesting because that team's
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: going nowhere. Fifth rounder for him? All day?
• 38:01
  Speaker 3: Right. I don't think anyone would say no.
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: And you just cast aside Helani or whatever and you're
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: good to go.
• 38:06
  Speaker 2: Although fifth rounder, they really do like the fifth round.
• 38:09
  Speaker 2: Maybe they'll go fourth rounder.
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: That's a good point. All right, Hugh Millen coming up next.
