• 1:42
  Speaker 2: I'm all jacked up. And then secondarily, I had one
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: more thing to think about this morning, as I had
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: to throw the grounds away and the new coffee maker,
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: and that caused me to forget my past. So Bucky
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: had to save me downstairs. It just happens there. It's
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: like clockwork.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, you can have what is it, three things?
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: Four things you can remember?
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah, four things I can remember.
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: If there's five, yeah, something's got to get pushed out
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: of here.
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: Just put your pass like in your bag when you
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: get home. Uh why would I? Okay, it's a perfectly
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: good system. I have it right there at the front.
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: It's right there, right there. Everything in the drawer is
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: right there, in the exact same place. Okay, yeah, otherwise
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: I'll forget the bag.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, well that would be two for one.
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah exactly, yeah exactly. I mean I half I started
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: halfway to work, and I'm like, I forgot my car.
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: Oh then I just started walking. Yeah, and I had
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: to go all the way back.
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: So if you if I had ignore my idea, then
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: that was dumb.
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: I had one more thing. It just throws me off.
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: Every single week. I was trying to take a thing
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: away from you. No, no, I just forget something else.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: It's a it's a mostly perfect system.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, time the time.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: That's right there, you go, all right, well, well come
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: to the show. It is a Tuesday. We've got our
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: normal Tuesday lineup coming up, which we'll outline for you
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: here in a little bit with what's on tap, and
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: of course in every single crack that there is, we
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: will talk about the big topic of the week, and
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: that is the Seahawks and the Rams Thursday Night Football
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: this year. As I mentioned frequently, we typically on Hump
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: Day start previewing the next opponent, but on a short week,
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: Thursday Night Football week, we always start on Tuesday. Well,
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: guess what we're already underway. We got started yesterday with
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: this game, this game of the year, Seahawks hosting the
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: Rams Thursday Night Football got the entire national platform to
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: ourselves only game going and it is the biggest game
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: certainly of the year so far. Doesn't mean it will
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: end up being the biggest game of the year because
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: there are a couple of others on the schedule before
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: the regular season comes to a close. But undoubted this
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: is the biggie, and so we dive in full full,
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: with full hearts and full breaths, We're gonna dive into
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: this sucker here today.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: There's not a lot that else we probably can talk about.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: I mean, simply, there's so much hanging in the balance.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: I mean, the end of the game Thursday night, you're
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: either going to be first place in the division and
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: first place overall in the NFC, or you're not. And
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: I mean it's crazy to be sitting at eleven and
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: three and still have a chance, I mean, in a
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: very outside slim chance of not making the playoffs. But
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: I mean the fact that you haven't clinched at this
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: point in time and you got three games left to go.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: One is a big one at home this Thursday against
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: your the team that you're chasing down because they beat
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: you in your first head to head. Yeah, a lot
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: riding on this one, I mean, without a doubt, a
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: lot riding on this one.
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and just fantastic matchup two healthy teams. You pointed
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: this out yesterday, but the Rams right now are considered
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: the favorites to win the Super Bowl by Vegas and
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: number two on that list the Seattle Seahawks. I think
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: the Seahawks certainly more surprising from that perspective when you
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: think back to the beginning of the year, and nobody
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: thought that this. Nobody nationally thought the Seahawks team was
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: going to be a playoff team. We're gonna get like
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: six wins. Yeah, yeah, at least very few. I wouldn't
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: say nobody, because that's not true, but very few people.
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: Vegas certainly had them less than what a lot of
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: us thought they were capable of. And here they are
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: putting themselves in a position to possibly end up with
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: a number one seed. But as beautiful as this game
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: and sports can be at times, they also could be
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: left on the outside looking in. There's still a chance
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: this team doesn't even make the playoffs at all. They've
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: not clinched. They can on Thursday, they can at least
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: clinch a playoff spot. But to sit here with three
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: games left in the season and at eleven and three
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: and you're still not guaranteed a spot in the playoffs.
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: That's unnerving.
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the part that's kind of crazy, I mean,
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: And yet I mean there's a top heavy version of
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: it where I mean, I don't think anybody here would
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: would rather be, you know, ten and four or nine
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: and five and have a spot clinched up already, like
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: being a weak division necessarily, but because this gives you
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: the opportunity to get that coveted first round by if
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: you can figure out a way to be the number
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: one team. So you're you like where you're sitting. It's
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: just that your division is tough with the you know,
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: the Niners and Rams being in there, both playing well
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: pretty much for the entire season, so you're still fighting
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: for something on the small scale. But really it kind
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: of feels like the overall winner of this division is
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: going to be the number one seed going into the playoffs.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: And that's a big that's a big deal in today's
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: day and game, where there's so much riding on how
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: healthy are you. You don't want you want to get
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: hot at the right time, that whole thing, but but
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: you also need to stay healthy and having a week
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: off when it's not two teams anymore, it's just the
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: one team in each conference gets that buy. That's a
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: big deal to get rested up and prepare for whoever
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: it is you got coming in and then home field
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: advantage to do the whole thing. It's a big deal. So,
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: I mean, this is one where I would I think
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: that everybody over there in Renton stays up late and
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: does a lot of their homework. But I bet you
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: either doing a little bit extra this week.
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: Let's get it on the Rams, certainly on fire themselves.
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: But they might be without Davonte Adams for this game.
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: Sean McVeigh said as recently as yesterday, it's really it's
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: kind of hard to believe that he will be ready
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: after injuring his hamstring at the end of the game.
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: Yet on Sunday that DeVante Adams could be ready for this,
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: So that will be something in the Seahawks corner that
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: gives them a little bit of an advantage. Adams and
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: Nakua make quite the team, but let's face it. I mean,
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: this is something that came up yesterday in our conversation
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: with coach and Hugh. This team's settling for an awful
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: lot of field goals, and even though Jason Myers has
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: turned into the most reliable kicker in the National Football League,
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: and that's a great thing to have in your corner
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: as well. Truth of the matter is, and maybe not
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: to the degree Greg Olsen talks about it, but you
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: can't make a living in this league, you can't win
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: Super Bowls in this league constantly settling for field goals.
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: So that's an issue lately has been confronting this team,
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: and maybe even bigger than that. I mean, you got
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: away with it against the Vikings, you got away with
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: it against the Falcons. They really I don't think have
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: played well since this is strange to say, lost to
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: the Rams. Played a bit of a sloppy game against
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: the Titans, certainly did not play four quarters against Minnesota,
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: Certainly did not play four quarters against Atlanta. And then
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: the Colts felt to me like something was missing there
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: as well, which maybe we'll talk about a little bit
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: later on in this hour. But you better play four
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: quarters against the Rams. This is not a playground in
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: which you can just decide to join the game whenever
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: you feel like it. Better be firing on all cylinders
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: from the get go. Because I don't think you're digging
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: out of some big hole or you might create for
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: yourself a big hole against the Los Angeles Rams.
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I think the I you know, like
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: the Minnesota game, for example, you knew you were going
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: against a rookie that you know, where do you played
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: New Hampshire or something?
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: I mean Minnesota?
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: Minnesota Hampshire before that?
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: What an insult to the golden culture?
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: Right? I think he was with New Hampshire before he
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: went to Minnesota. Regardless, you kind of felt like, similar
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: to last week, which I don't know for sure. Last week,
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: they maybe overthought that where Okay, they're coming in here
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: with a forty four year old. In that case, they're
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: coming in with this rookie has no experience, they're gonna
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: have hard time getting any points on us, and so
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: it we're going to be really conservative, right, and then
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: as all of a sudden the scores start to mount,
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: you're giving up nothing against Minnesota, right, you end up
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: shutting them out that it's kind of okay, it's okay
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: to be less than offensively throughout the course of that game.
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: That the Tennessee game was one, if I remember correctly,
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: where they kind of got out to lead, and then
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: all of a sudden they were within an on side
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: kick of making it kind of scary. And so I
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: think that there's situations where the score doesn't always dictate it,
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: but there's no ifens or. But you can't the last
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: three games, I'm just looking at a stat here. The
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: only teams that are worse in the first half as
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: far as scoring points is the New Orleans Saints, Las
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: Vegas Raiders, Arizona Cardinals, and the New York Jets. What
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: in the last three games on the first half? Okay,
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: got it. So they're slow starts. Yeah, they're down there
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: with Cleveland. They're tied with Cleveland. So that's I don't
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: know if that's good if you want to be tied
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: with them for anything. So you're just talking about that,
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: you're not playing two halves. You're playing mediocre first half
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: and then you're figuring out a way and if you
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: score thirty one points in the second half, hey, that's
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: going to work out often. But there's other times where
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: you're not going to do that. You can't expect that
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: you're going to go out and score six points or
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: three points in the first half. Against the Rams on Thursday,
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: and then you're just gonna explode for thirty one. And
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: yet on the flip side of it, you know you're
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: probably not gonna give up enough to You're not probably
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: not going to give up enough to anybody to where
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: you're gonna need to do that. But you better damn
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: well think you better. You better recognize you got to
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: go out there and play two four full quarters of
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: football otherwise you're gonna find yourself behind. And now all
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: of a sudden they're in control of do we just
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: run and take the air out of the ball or
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: do we then kind of pop one on you when
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: all of a sudden you think that you're all sold
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: out and stopping the run because you think we're just
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: trying to run out the clock. It's not a good
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: situation to be in. And they've they've overcome it and
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: they're winning. They're winning all these games, so that's what matters.
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: But yeah, in order to do it against the good teams,
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: you're gonna have to play the whole game.
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: I do wonder if especially, I know these guys are
• 11:42
  Speaker 4: professionals and so the chances of this are probably very slim.
• 11:45
  Speaker 4: But after the last time they played the Rams, they said,
• 11:48
  Speaker 4: you know, we can't wait for that next matchup. This
• 11:50
  Speaker 4: game is circled on our calendar. And I wonder if,
• 11:54
  Speaker 4: knowing it was a short week going into the Colts game,
• 11:56
  Speaker 4: if there was any thought of we're playing Philip River's
• 12:00
  Speaker 4: a guy that hasn't played in five years, and you know,
• 12:04
  Speaker 4: this game is kind of our warm up for Thursday.
• 12:07
  Speaker 4: I just wonder if there was any part of them
• 12:09
  Speaker 4: that was somewhat overlooking the Colts prepared to because they're
• 12:13
  Speaker 4: so eager for this game on Thursday.
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: Not outwardly, it's not spoken. Yeah, I mean, nobody's saying
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: that in the building, like, hey, it's a forty four
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: year old quarterback. We got this one, as long as
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: we don't do blah blah blah blah blah. But that's
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: the psychology of sports, and as much as we talk
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: about it, because it is so subjective, it is such
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: an unknown thing. It's not a tangible aspect that we
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: can point to a statistic. It's the wild card. And
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: some people believe and you know, maybe we go beat
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: too much in sports talk radio, particularly talking about the
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: psychology of things and what this game means and what
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: that game means versus just the x'es and o's and
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: the Jimmys and the jos. I would argue, we don't
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: talk about it enough. We don't dress the psychology of
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: sports nearly enough because it's monstrous. And I will tell
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: you I think in the second half they did feel
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: like the game with Tennessee was over and the next
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: thing you know, you have a game. And then against
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: Minnesota and Atlanta, I would imagine they felt like, we've
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: got this one and took them about a half for
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: Mike McDonald to get on their ass and kind of
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: figure things out. And they're they're not doing it intentionally, no,
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: and I don't think they are, yeah, but but subconsciously, yes,
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: that does play. I think they played against Philip Rivers.
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: I pointed this out a couple of times. I think
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: that they played against Philip Rivers like you know, you
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: might have when you were in high school and you
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: were a high school athlete and you're playing your uncle
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: Joe in the backyard in a game of one on
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: one basketball and the next thing you know, he's up,
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: you know, he's up on you, s to h right
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: and you're like, oh, I better buggle down if I
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: don't want to face the family embarrassment of losing to
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: my uncle Joe and his two pay here in the
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: backyard of this little hoops game that we got, and
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: then you buckled down. I kind of think there was
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: an element to that. The good news is is that
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: if you did face that for four weeks, you went
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: four and oh yeah. And then the extra good news
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: about that is there's no way that that interferes with Thursday. Right,
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: there is no way that you're not firing on all
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: cylinders all week long, one hundred percent immersed, locked in.
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: Mike McDonald coaching staff does not have to worry about
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: that this week. This is as big a regular season
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: game as has been played in this city in a decade.
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm curious. I mean, I think there's two sides
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: of the coin. Right. We talked about how big games
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: are and the adjustments that you make, right, I mean,
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: starting out slow is not great. I mean, I know
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: coach Holmgren was did it, and he might have been
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: towards the flo front of when people did it the
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: whole scripted plays. I don't know when that came about.
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: I mean, I know that it's been going on for
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: quite some time, but you just kind of figured it.
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: He invented it. Probably could just give him the credit
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: for it, even if he didn't. I think he probably
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: would have invented it if it hadn't been invented before.
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: But I think he's it's somewhere around the time when
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: he was coaching, where throughout the course of the week,
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: you start figuring out, now, the way we're running these
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: plays in practice, what we're going against. This is going
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: to work. This this flat out will work. Now you've
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: got to stay on script, so you can kind of
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: stick with those with that plan. But that's something that
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: you don't necessarily see now. On the flip side of it,
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: Clink Kubiak and Mike Ben done, all the rest of
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: his coaching staff, whatever they do in the halftime, besides
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: orange slices and you know, you know, so getting rehydrated.
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: They've figured out a way to come out there and play.
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: And the second half is typically more important than the
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: first half. I mean, you typically have you know what
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: you have to do at that point in time. So
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: I mean, I think there's two different ways to look
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: at it. To me, though, it's you do have to
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: figure out a way to start putting up more points
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: early in the game so that you're not you don't
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: find yourself in this oh my gosh. I mean, you
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: don't want to have the Rams pinning their ears back
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: in the third quarter or fourth quarter because you're down
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: by ten or twelve points. You don't want that because
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: that could turn into what we've seen, you know, where
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: if Sam Darnold's rushed, then maybe he's turning the ball over.
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: So there's a lot that goes into a division rival,
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: especially the second time you're playing them, with all the
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: marbles on the table, so to speak. It's going to
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: be an interesting game. But I think that there's a
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: whole heck of a lot of you know, reflection that
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: probably needs to be done on the offensive side of
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: the ball when it comes.
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: To so you can argue they're playing their best football
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: the last time they faced the Rams, and even though
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: I think they outplayed the Rams, they lost the game.
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: They're not playing their best football right now. But they
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: better be playing it by Thursday, because that's what it's
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: going to require, and not just Thursday. For these last
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: three games. I mean, I'm very confident you're going to
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: get one win out of the three and get into
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: the playoffs. I'm very confident with that. But in order
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: to get that number one seed, and Bucky highlighted the
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: magnitude of that earlier in this conversation, you probably got
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: to win all three of them. So let's go. Let's
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: get it started this Thursday. Let's find out what's on
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: tap on this Tuesday program.
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: What's on TEP, what's on TEP?
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: All right, Greg Bell will join us at seven o
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: five today to discuss Rams and Seahawks our Seahawks Insider,
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: and also should note that Philip Rivers is going to
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: start again this week for the Colts, this time against
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: the San Francisco forty nine Ers Monday Night Football. Last night,
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: the Pittsburgh Steelers defeated the Miami Dolphins twenty eight to fifteen,
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: and the game really wasn't even that close. Miami continuously
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: downplays this weather thing. You don't play well in cold weather,
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: just no period, and it is really surprising that professional
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: athletes aren't better at preparing for cold weather. Don't shrivel
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: don't shrivel up like the Miami dolph always do.
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't always do, I really don't. I mean, baseball,
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: you play with a lot of dudes from that grew
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: up in islands, Dominican and whatnot, and for some reason,
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: well not for some reason, it's obvious they don't. They're
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: not used to it. Now. At some point in time, though,
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: you've got to be able to get over that. You
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: got to be able to just work through that and that.
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: You're right, the Miami Dolphins seemed incapable of doing it
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: when it gets.
• 18:21
  Speaker 4: Coldkay, at some point you might be good and actually
• 18:24
  Speaker 4: need to win those games in the cold.
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I would think that would be the goal. I mean,
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: they were even in the playoffs, they were even a
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: playoff caliber team. Oh no, it's before forty. Well, we're cooked.
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's hard to believe that they aren't better
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: on when the weather is colder as professional athletes. College
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: Football Playoffs starts this Friday. Alabama and Oklahoma will get
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: it started Friday. Then there will be three games on Saturday.
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: So the second ever true college football playoffs starting this Friday.
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: Transfer portal is filling up fast and with a lot
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: of big name quarterbacks. Won't dive into that. We won't
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: have that frenzy until the first week of January, but
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: it is coming. You dub won a national championship last night.
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: The soccer team for the Huskies won by a final
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: score of three to two in overtime over North Carolina State.
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: Congratulations to them a national championship and they did it
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: with a golden goal, which is a goal in overtime.
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: And yet because we have replay now in our sports world,
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: the celebration was on then subdued because they had to
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: review it. And some of the analysis I heard was
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: they were technically off sides. But man, that's a tough
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: call to make to take a national championship out of
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: somebody's mouth because one guy's shoe halfway was off sides
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: and you might have taken away a national championship winning goal.
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: But they decided to let the old stand and then
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: the stage two of the celebration started.
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, they would have had to get all
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: dressed again. I saw the dude that won his shirt off,
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: just he had an undershure.
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: You're gonna lose if they take that away. There's no
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: way you're liking it back up. Yeah you feel like it,
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah you can't.
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Good for them, though, I mean in NASH Championship,
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: first time ever for the Huskies to win Anas Championship
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: in men's soccer, I think, so kudos to them. There's
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: not a whole heck of a lot of feelings. You
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: go through a lot. I mean, I don't know in
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: soccer how much you do in college, but I'm sure
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: there's a lot of running which doesn't sound very fun
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: to me. And then yet at the end of it, it
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: doesn't matter how bad the prep was. It's worth it
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: when you're voicing the trophy feeling never cracking.
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: We'll play the Avalanche tonight. Evert fitzuwill join us at
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: eight thirty today. It is a cracking ticket Tuesday. Here
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: on kjar your chance to win some tickets to see

  Speaker 2: audio that will play every hour all day long, and

• 21:18
  Speaker 2: nine point thirty. We got a packed show for you.
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: And coming up on the other side, what's going on
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: with that Michigan job. Sports Radio ninety three point three KHARFM. Hey,
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: good morning, It's Chuck Buck and Ashley with you here
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: on this Tuesday. Plenty to discuss on today's program as
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: we get ready for Seahawks rams on Thursday. But there
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: are some other things as well, which we'll get to
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: in a moment. That Michigan job is still available. Who
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: wants to be a Michigan Man. We're going to discuss
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: how it affects us here in Seattle here in a
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: little bit. Do you want to let you know though,
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: that bender that always doing good things? Yeah, yeah, yeah exactly.
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: It probably like holds doors for people, I'm sure. Yeah,
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: in real life. Yeah, probably is kind to the elderly, guaranteed.
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: Weird yeah, weird stuff that guy does. Anyway, he's got
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: his one big give. He's been doing this for twenty
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: three years. He's only twenty five years old, but he's
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: been doing this for twenty three years on the radio.
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: He may he raises like trillions of dollars for Seattle
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: Children's Hospital. He's just does an amazing program every year.
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: And he's got Jody now of course over there at
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: the Jet doing the same thing. So all day broadcasts
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: six am to seven pm. It's Bender's one big give
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: King Neptune himself. It benefits the Uncompensated Care Fund, helping
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: Seattle Children provide all the necessary care to kids in
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: our region, regardless of the family's ability to pay. If
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: you want to get involved eight three three eight five
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: five zero nine five seven to make a donation, or
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: you can go to give to the Kids dot com.
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: So there you go, a lot of great things going on.
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: Nice job Bender, Jody and everyone with the Jet and
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: iHeart that is involved with this. Every year, they did
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: an amazing job raising a lot of money for Seattle
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: Children's Hospital. All right, let's talk about the Michigan Wolverinees
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: head coaching position, because until it's filled, I guess we
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: can never truly relax around here. Jedfish's name has come
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: up quite a bit, and yet so is Kenny Dillingham's,
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: and so is Kaylen de Bores. Kaylin de Bor getting
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: ready for Oklahoma this Friday. It became a major talking point,
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: and really the one big takeaway from his press conference
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: yesterday was his response to the Michigan job. He wouldn't
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: have spent more clear that he is not interested. He
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: has not reached out to gauge interest, he has not
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: spoken to anyone. And as soon as he said that,
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: the question that followed up from the reporter, Hoarde was
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: all right, just to be clear, you're going to be
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: Alabama's head coach next season? And he laughed it off,
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: and he says, yes, I am going to be Alabama's
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: head coach next season. And that's all fine and dandy
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: except the fact that he pretty much did that here
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: not long ago. So it's really hard to believe any
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: of these coaches until a Michigan, until Michigan announces who
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: they are going to steal, because they're stealing somebody stealing
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: somebody's coach from them, So until they actually make it official,
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: I think anybody with a coaching candidate that has been
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: rumored wherever there is smoke, you have to be on
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: guard as to whether or not you're going to lose
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: your head coach.
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, I mean the idea of it's not going
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: to be some guy that's coming from high school. Right,
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: It's not going to be some guy that's you know,
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: coaching at like a lower level. And we're you know,
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: Michigan's going to give him his next shot at you know,
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: his first shot at coaching the big time college program.
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: It's going to be somebody you're gonna sniper, somebody that's
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: doing big things at you know, at the power forward
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: level for the most part. And so yeah, I mean
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: I don't take any of the things these coaches say.
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't write it in pen I most certainly wouldn't
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: trust anybody.
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and that's unfortunate, I suppose for all of these
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: coaches who are trying to recruit or trying to get
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: ready for a game. But you did a lot of
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: you you sort of earned this, and then they just
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: the industry and it's in and of itself, it is
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: a byproduct of that, and you coaches aren't doing much
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: to keep it from occurring.
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, one hundred percent. I mean in calen To War,
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: for example, I mean, he did leave. He left here
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: after basically, you know, saying all the things that you
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: want your coach to say, like I'm happy here, this
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: is you know, I got roots here, my daughter's here,
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: dream job, dream job. Now, I mean, without throwing shade,
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: because I'm not intentionally throwing shade. The idea of leaving
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: here to go to Alabama, which is one of the
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: most prestigious brands in college football, is different than leaving
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: Alabama to go to Michigan. Maybe as big, if not bigger.
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: I mean, the storied history of Michigan. I get that.
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: That to me, The only thing that would make him
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: want to switch there is just I'm more of a
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: big ten guy, you know, I just kind of it
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: kind of fits my m Michigan's more my style than
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: Alabama is. But I don't feel like there's a big
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: you know. It feels more like it would be a
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: lateral move if anything. As far as your competition, like your.
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: Well, the reputation of Alabama is that the community makes
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: your life miserable unless you're winning national championships. And if
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: and Kaylen de boor knew that, his eyes went wide open.
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: He his eyes were wide open to that reputation. There's
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: nobody that follows college football that doesn't know that. And
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: so if he got there and then was oh wow,
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: this is what they meant, Oh, this sucks. My wife
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: hates it. You know, we can't go to the grocery
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: store without being told we suck. You know, if that
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: has gotten to him, then maybe a move to the
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: Midwest where they kind of do, where he's closer to home,
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: Where he's closer to home. They actually don't make it
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: everything at mission. It's big, but it's not everything. It's
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: not every single waking moment from every single fan. Maybe
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: he would look at that as an escape without diminishing
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: the stature of the position that I hold or my salary.
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: Maybe he would, But he made that very clear in
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: his press conference yesterday that his family's very happy in Alabama,
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: which was important. He went out of his way to
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: say that. As for Jedfish, you know, he sort of
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: earned this reputation as well. I don't hear his name
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: mentioned as prominently as it was initially. It kind of
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: feels like it's moving toward canny get Kenny Dillingham at
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: Arizona State. But that said, he hasn't gone out of
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: his way like the boor has to shoot it down either.
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: So until Michigan hires a job, there's no way that
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: a Washington Husky fan can feel one hundred percent safe
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: that Jedfish isn't leaving. I mean, I think that he
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: does entertain ideas of Fischigan, you know, being being that
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: guy at that program, that position. I think that is
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: something that interests him, whether or not Michigan's as interested
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: in him as they would be a Kenny Dillingham. You know,
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: that's what we don't.
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: Know the idea of. I mean, you know, you have
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: these headhunter firms that are going out there and kind
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: of helping run these things for the athletic director for
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: the school, and obviously they're reaching out. I mean Kaylen
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: de Boor and Jedfish and Kenny Dillingham were kind of
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: that early early board, the hot board, if you will,
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: that was where they were going after. To me, Jedfish
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: has kind of shot it down, but not as blatantly
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: as Katherin do wars like no I'm here, I'm not
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: going anywhere right. Fish didn't necessarily come out and just
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: basically kind of put try to squash the whole thing.
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: To me, it does seem like it's heading in the
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: Kenny Dillingham direction, just simply because him being an Arizona
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: and now he's coaching basically his dream job, right. I
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: think his sister lives next door and his parents live
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: right down the street. He's basically right where he would
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: have ever hoped you would be. And yet now if
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: you've done a good enough job at Arizona State that
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: a program like Michigan has come and calling. That's where
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: I think the tears were coming from. When he was
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: doing his little press conference.
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he cried at the end of last week over it,
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: and a lot of people read into that as he's leaving,
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: like he wouldn't be this emotional if he wasn't about
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: to go back on his word yeah to Arizona State,
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: And that's kind of how I read into it as well.
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: I think maybe the lesson to be learned here stop
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: acting like you've got your dream job.
• 30:01
  Speaker 4: Well yeah, and and just say, you know, I don't
• 30:04
  Speaker 4: know right now, I'm here and this is where I
• 30:06
  Speaker 4: want to be, and just say if you just say
• 30:07
  Speaker 4: right now no and con fault you for what you
• 30:09
  Speaker 4: do next week, I don't. I'm still curious because if Michigan,
• 30:13
  Speaker 4: it doesn't seem like they're in a big hurry right
• 30:15
  Speaker 4: now to hire right because they haven't done it yet,
• 30:17
  Speaker 4: and they've got till the second right when the transfer
• 30:20
  Speaker 4: portal opens. I would be curious if Alabama loses to
• 30:24
  Speaker 4: Oklahoma if Kaylen Debor has offered that job.
• 30:26
  Speaker 3: Again.
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: I's a great point because if it was Jed Fish,
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: don't you think they would have announced it? Yeah, because
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: they would waited till after the.
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: Bowl game it'd be done.
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: It's Kenny Dillingham. What are you waiting? You're gonna wait
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: for him to make sure he to try to negotiate
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: a new deal with Arizona State? Or are you gonna
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: put heat? I didn't an answer right now. I mean
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: that's the art of negotiation, is it not. So maybe
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: they are waiting for something. Maybe it's on NFL coach
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: who knows. Maybe they are waiting for something to this.
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: Bucky's made this point in the past. If it's the
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: right guy, aren't you willing to wait?
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: You know?
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: Same with LSU. Why couldn't you have waited? You didn't
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: want to wait. You could have waited. You didn't want
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: to wait because you didn't want Ole Miss to have
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: nice things. So you've tried to hurt ole Miss while
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: still getting your guy. That's what you tried to do
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: at LSU. So yeah, I think that's a I think
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: that's a terrific point. Why are they waiting if it's Jedfish,
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: Why are they waiting if it's Kenny Dillingham. Maybe it
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: is somebody who else has another thing to do before
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: they take the job. We shall see, all right. Coming
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: up next Seahawks Rams on Thursday. And one thing this
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: week that I don't want to see the Seahawks do
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM to hear what
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: I'm about to say about the Seattle Seahawks as we
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: get ready for the Los Angeles Rams for some Thursday
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: night football. I sort of get the idea of the
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: philosophy Bucky that Mike McDonald and Clint Kubiak have come
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: into the season with, but that I think there has
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: been a little bit of a problem. And we talked
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: about a little bit yesterday with coach and Hugh where
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: this commitment to the running game where it's still lasting
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: like into the third and fourth quarter. Hey, I get
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: trying to establish the run, and I'm all for that,
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: but you have been so ineffective running the football as
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: of late. I'm not sure it's having the desired effect,
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: So go ahead and try to establish the run against
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: the Rams. But I don't want to keep trying to
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: establish the run deep into the second half this Thursday.
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: I don't think that you can afford a slow start
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: like you've gotten off to and you know, your last
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: three games in a row and your commitment to Ken
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: Walker and Zach Charbonnet that has really produced nothing. You know,
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: I want to put this game in Sam Darnold's hands
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: quicker than what they've been doing it here as of late,
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: even at the risk of more pressure on our quarterback.
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: Well, I think that those can go hand in hand.
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: And I'm with you. It's not like drop back and
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: throw sixty times. It's just you don't have to be
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: one for one. You don't have to at the end
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: have more rushes than pass attempts. And I think that
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: there's a part of it that it benefits Sam Darnov
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: not just can he get cooking and get warm and
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: you know, find the connection with JSN and whoever else
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: he wants to find on that given day. But you
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: actually pass when they maybe think you're going to be
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: running right, whereas the first time they played the Rams
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: jumped out into a lead, and next thing you know,
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: you had to all of a sudden do it come
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: from behind. And so in that second half primarily I
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: mean threw an interception early in the game, but the
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: three other interceptions that he threw was when they knew
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: he was throwing because they were behind. You were trying
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: to come from behind. So now you let those pass
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: rushers kind of pin their ears back and the guys
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: sitting back there are just waiting for a little bit
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: of a mistake or an Aaron throw, and took advantage.
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: I'm with you. I flipped the script a little bit,
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: try to do something a little bit different to just
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: give your offense a little bit of a spark earlier.
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: And I don't know when the jumping off point is.
• 34:09
  Speaker 2: I mean, when Mike Homgrin and Hugh Mellen are both
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: in agreement, like several weeks in a row, I tend
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: to think that they might be on to something right
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: about this. I don't know when that point is in
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: the game where you're like, we just can't run the ball,
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: we just can't do it. But I think it's earlier
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: than when they're deciding it. Yes, and so to me, yeah,
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: go ahead and try to do that. I mean, look,
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: the San Francisco forty nine ers actually have fewer yards
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: per carry than the Seahawks, believe it or not, three
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: point five. They have Christian McCaffrey on their team, for
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: goodness sake, and they're winning at a pretty good clip
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: themselves at ten and four. But most of the teams
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: behind the Seahawks and yards per carry this year, they
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: are Cleveland, New Orleans and the Raiders, three teams that
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: have gotten terrible quarterback play this year. We don't have
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: a terrible quarterback. We got one of the best quarterbacks
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: in the National Football League right now in Sam Darnold.
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: And I actually think that the lack of run game,
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: I don't even know if Sam Donald believes it his
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: His play action pass fakes are terrible right now. They're
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: so sloppy they're not convincing whatsoever. I mean, think about
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: the guys who in who have been convincing with their
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: play action fakes. Peyton Manning, I mean, he was like
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: Daniel day Lewis. That's how good an accurate he was,
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: you know, playing out at all he could do was
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: play action, Yeah you were. He sold it like nobody
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: sold it. Aaron Rodgers, one of the great He's probably
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: the best I've ever seen at play action faking Tom Brady.
• 35:41
  Speaker 2: I mean, we're talking about the best of all time.
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: These are the best of all time. And when they
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: are told to fake like you're gonna run the ball,
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: fake like you're gonna run the ball, Sam just basically
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: just sticks it out and then pulls it back in immediately.
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: He doesn't even believe they can run the game, run
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: the ball. Sam doesn't even believe they can run the ball.
• 36:00
  Speaker 3: Well.
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: I do want to talk about these couple of things
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: with Hugh a little bit later on in the week,
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: But to me, I don't think it's serving you any
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: great reward to continuously try to establish the run well
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: into the second half when it just ain't working.
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: Well.
• 36:16
  Speaker 4: Yeah, And you can tell if it's working or not
• 36:17
  Speaker 4: by seeing how many yards you're.
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: Getting when you're doing it.
• 36:19
  Speaker 4: Right, I mean, it's not Hardt indicates it's not hard.
• 36:23
  Speaker 4: So if you're like, gosh, we're only getting two or
• 36:24
  Speaker 4: three yards of carry, maybe we gotta pull it back. Yeah,
• 36:30
  Speaker 4: if you're getting six and eight yards of carry, yeah,
• 36:32
  Speaker 4: keep going with the run game.
• 36:33
  Speaker 2: It's working all right. Coming up next, we'll ask Greg
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: Bell about that. We also have your headlines. It's Chucking
