Latest / Chuck in the Morning / 10-9 H1: What's On Tap, ICYMI & No Cliche Keys
Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Caleb Resort Casino and Hotel, the hotel very important in
- 0:04Speaker 1: our lives here in the last few hours because Hugh
- 0:08Speaker 1: Millen stayed here last night. Here tell Hugh Millen, the
- 0:12Speaker 1: famous Hugh Millen stayed here last night. Anders Hurst and family.
- 0:17Speaker 1: Was this Austin Hurst's first stay at a hotel? I
- 0:20Speaker 1: think it was. Wow. Yes, it was. What a big
- 0:23Speaker 1: moment for him. Did he commemorate it with a nice nap? Yeah,
- 0:28Speaker 1: a couple of them, actually. Did he really? He really
- 0:31Speaker 1: knows how to live.
- 0:32Speaker 2: Yeah, then we had a little mini tantrum in the
- 0:35Speaker 2: nice Blackfish restaurant.
- 0:37Speaker 1: Restaurant last night. Oh, you went to Blackfish last night. Yes,
- 0:40Speaker 1: we did. Okay. Anders Hurst, of course, spent the night here.
- 0:43Speaker 1: It wasn't just his baby. And so he spent the
- 0:47Speaker 1: night here. I spent the night here. That's right. We
- 0:50Speaker 1: are here at the Tulalip Resort Casino and Hotel. We
- 0:53Speaker 1: had our big event last night. Huge. And have just
- 0:57Speaker 1: decided to spend the night here and do our show
- 1:00Speaker 1: from the DraftKings Sportsbook this morning. How about that? There's
- 1:04Speaker 1: life in the morning show. There's life in the big
- 1:06Speaker 1: time now. Of course. Anders, you no longer have that
- 1:08Speaker 1: Ian Furness dragging you down anymore.
- 1:10Speaker 2: Seriously, there were so many times where he would go
- 1:12Speaker 2: on location and I'd be like, dang, I'm stuck in
- 1:14Speaker 2: the studio. It's so great that you're talking about all
- 1:17Speaker 2: these great things that you're doing, Ian, but I'm right
- 1:20Speaker 2: here just hanging out in our beauty.
- 1:23Speaker 1: He never got treated this well, though. Not like this
- 1:25Speaker 1: first class operation, I'll tell you that. Ian probably got
- 1:28Speaker 1: second rate accommodations now that you're on the morning show
- 1:31Speaker 1: with me. You got taken care of. Yeah. Even at Blackfish,
- 1:35Speaker 1: when your kid threw a fit over how his swordfish
- 1:38Speaker 1: was prepared. Exactly. They still took it in stride, didn't they?
- 1:41Speaker 1: They did. They absolutely did. Great people here.
- 1:42Speaker 2: They were still telling him that, oh, yeah, they don't
- 1:45Speaker 2: get a ton of kids here. But they were all like,
- 1:47Speaker 2: all the servers were like, oh, we're moms, so we
- 1:48Speaker 2: love having him in here. So it was great. They
- 1:52Speaker 2: were awesome about it. And, you know, everything's great here.
- 1:55Speaker 2: We're in the sports book. I made a couple.
- 1:58Speaker 1: Wagers. You did? Last evening. I won one of them,
- 2:00Speaker 1: lost one of them. Did you bet on the Buccaneers?
- 2:02Speaker 1: I did not. Oh. I bet on... Did you hedge
- 2:04Speaker 1: your bet against Factor Fiction on a show? No. No, no.
- 2:07Speaker 1: I trusted Kidd when it happened. That was a mistake. Unfortunately. Man, what...
- 2:14Speaker 1: I mean, it turns out that it's a mistake. I mean,
- 2:17Speaker 1: it was not a... It was not a good idea
- 2:19Speaker 1: to trust Chris on Factor Fiction earlier this week as
- 2:23Speaker 1: he sits quiet. I was going to say, I can't
- 2:25Speaker 1: wait to see him defend himself because I'm sure what
- 2:28Speaker 1: he'll say is that he asked us which game to do,
- 2:31Speaker 1: and we told him, all right, that's the one that
- 2:33Speaker 1: we prefer. Oh, you better not use that excuse.
- 2:35Speaker 2: Please don't because it's your name on it. That's what
- 2:41Speaker 2: it's labeled as.
- 2:41Speaker 1: You gave us two options, and we told you which
- 2:43Speaker 1: bad option we liked better. That's what happened. It's not
- 2:47Speaker 1: revised to history here. Yeah, you wore that one right
- 2:52Speaker 1: in the shorts. But I think we're still on the air. Kid,
- 2:56Speaker 1: are you there? Are you back at the studio? Yes,
- 2:59Speaker 1: I am here. He's just very quiet. Do you miss
- 3:04Speaker 1: us since we're talking such slander about you? Do you
- 3:06Speaker 1: still miss us? Oh, absolutely. Can't wait to get you
- 3:08Speaker 1: back Monday. He wants to give us the glare through
- 3:12Speaker 1: the screen. Which he cannot give us. Oh, I can
- 3:15Speaker 1: feel it. I know. It's like burning my skin. Yeah,
- 3:19Speaker 1: I can feel the glare. Oh, yeah. Well, it is
- 3:22Speaker 1: great to have you with us. We do have a
- 3:23Speaker 1: packed football Friday for you here this morning. And we
- 3:26Speaker 1: do want to thank Tulalip Resort Casino and Hotel. It's
- 3:29Speaker 1: been a great stay here. And our event last night
- 3:33Speaker 1: was terrific. We had a lot of people show up
- 3:36Speaker 1: at the Canoes Cabaret last night to see Hugh Millen
- 3:40Speaker 1: do some chalk talk. He had video accompaniment last night
- 3:46Speaker 1: and really put on a show. And I've got to
- 3:48Speaker 1: be honest, that's the first time I've ever seen a
- 3:50Speaker 1: video breakdown. I've listened to 11 years' worth of them.
- 3:53Speaker 1: But to see a video breakdown from Hugh Millen, the
- 3:57Speaker 1: deep dive that he does and successfully tries to do,
- 4:02Speaker 1: deliver on the air for us on a regular basis
- 4:04Speaker 1: here at KJR. I said it in his introduction last night.
- 4:07Speaker 1: I mean, there's nobody else in any market that has
- 4:12Speaker 1: provided what he provides the football fan in this town.
- 4:16Speaker 1: There's just nobody that goes that far, goes that in depth,
- 4:20Speaker 1: is that thorough, works that hard to try to deliver
- 4:23Speaker 1: a great analysis. Not just like, you know, where you
- 4:27Speaker 1: and I could say, man, the Cowboys couldn't stop the
- 4:30Speaker 1: run last night. To have somebody on staff in the
- 4:33Speaker 1: city that is taking the time to explain to you
- 4:37Speaker 1: why the Cowboys, if he applied himself to it, couldn't
- 4:41Speaker 1: stop the run. What was breaking down for Dallas last night?
- 4:46Speaker 1: The ability to do that for us here with Seahawks games,
- 4:49Speaker 1: with Huskies games, it really is a unique factor for
- 4:53Speaker 1: Sports Radio 93.3 KJRFM. And then last night to see
- 4:57Speaker 1: him put the video with it, it was very eye-opening.
- 5:01Speaker 1: It was very educational. And there were things that I've
- 5:05Speaker 1: heard him say a million times, and then all of
- 5:07Speaker 1: a sudden you start seeing like, oh! That's what he
- 5:11Speaker 1: means when he says that.
- 5:13Speaker 2: Right.
- 5:13Speaker 1: Yeah. Oh, and I mean, to be able to set
- 5:17Speaker 1: a play up and tell the narration of the play
- 5:21Speaker 1: and give the background of the play, And then to
- 5:24Speaker 1: watch the play unfold and to have a bunch of
- 5:27Speaker 1: people in a room, 150 people in a room, all
- 5:31Speaker 1: get to the crowning moment of the analysis and all go, Wow!
- 5:35Speaker 1: And start cheering the play they'd already seen and knew existed.
- 5:41Speaker 1: And then once they understood all the ingredients that went
- 5:44Speaker 1: into the soup, it was like watching Bobby Flay put
- 5:48Speaker 1: together his famous enchilada dish. And then you got to
- 5:52Speaker 1: actually see what went into it and then.
- 5:56Speaker 1: You know, that's what we got last night at Canoes.
- 5:59Speaker 2: Yeah, Hugh likes to call it the anatomy of a play,
- 6:02Speaker 2: and I love that term because you kind of break
- 6:05Speaker 2: down each individual aspect of it. There's so many different
- 6:07Speaker 2: moving parts. And then what you just mentioned right there,
- 6:11Speaker 2: the aha moment, so to speak, is one of the
- 6:14Speaker 2: most satisfying, especially when, like you said, I'm not an
- 6:16Speaker 2: all-22 guy. But seeing someone who is Hugh Millen break
- 6:21Speaker 2: it down for someone like me, who's a, you know,
- 6:24Speaker 2: I'm a big football fan, but I don't dive that
- 6:26Speaker 2: deep into it, right?
- 6:27Speaker 1: Nobody does. Who can? Nobody does. It's not currently in
- 6:30Speaker 1: the NFL, is what I'm saying. Exactly.
- 6:32Speaker 2: And I learned so much about it last night. It
- 6:35Speaker 2: was like a teacher teaching his students.
- 6:37Speaker 1: You know what I mean? It kind of felt like
- 6:39Speaker 1: that at points.
- 6:39Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 6:40Speaker 1: And you can tell he'd done it before, but it
- 6:42Speaker 1: was outstanding. And so I want to thank all the listeners. Man,
- 6:45Speaker 1: Kyle and Mike and Mike. There are a couple of
- 6:48Speaker 1: Mikes that I met last night. And Eric and, you know,
- 6:52Speaker 1: there were just so many. I can't name them all.
- 6:54Speaker 1: But appreciate everybody coming out, being a part of it.
- 6:58Speaker 1: And we did have, like, because this just always happens
- 7:01Speaker 1: when you do something for the first time. We did
- 7:03Speaker 1: have some, like, technical glitches to get it started.
- 7:05Speaker 4: Yes.
- 7:06Speaker 1: And I thought at one point Hugh might throw his
- 7:08Speaker 1: chair at us. Yeah. And then he got the hang
- 7:13Speaker 1: of it because he had equipment that he's used to
- 7:16Speaker 1: working with, but he also was given some additional equipment
- 7:22Speaker 1: to make it work here.
- 7:23Speaker 4: Yes.
- 7:23Speaker 1: So he wasn't accustomed to it. And so he was
- 7:26Speaker 1: a little bit off the rails at the beginning trying
- 7:28Speaker 1: to get accustomed to it on the fly. Yeah, he
- 7:30Speaker 1: did it seamlessly. While still doing his presentation. And he
- 7:33Speaker 1: was beating himself up for it afterwards. And I'm like, hey.
- 7:37Speaker 1: It looked like it was a little rocky, but you
- 7:39Speaker 1: avoided the shore, and then we smoothly sailed for the
- 7:43Speaker 1: next two hours. But there was a moment, I'm not
- 7:47Speaker 1: even going to lie to you, where I'm sitting there,
- 7:50Speaker 1: and he's using his home laptop, and he is trying
- 7:53Speaker 1: to focus on two things at once, which men can't do.
- 7:57Speaker 1: No one can. Yeah, not a single man can do that. Yes.
- 8:01Speaker 1: And he's trying to talk and deliver analysis and get
- 8:05Speaker 1: the equipment going at the same time and figuring out
- 8:08Speaker 1: how to use that equipment. And he's using his home computer,
- 8:12Speaker 1: and it's bouncing back from his desktop to the video.
- 8:16Speaker 1: And there was part of me that was a little
- 8:18Speaker 1: worried that we were at one point in the presentation
- 8:21Speaker 1: going to see a glimpse of a Hugh Millen sex tape.
- 8:26Speaker 1: Like he was going to call up the wrong video. Oh, God.
- 8:29Speaker 2: That's my worst nightmare. Not that there's anything like that
- 8:32Speaker 2: out there.
- 8:32Speaker 1: Yeah, I know. I would imagine he never even does that.
- 8:36Speaker 4: Of course.
- 8:37Speaker 1: But there was like part of me like, man, there
- 8:38Speaker 1: are a lot of files on that desktop. Yeah. What
- 8:41Speaker 1: do all of them, what are behind those hidden doors?
- 8:45Speaker 1: And there was part of me that was like, oh, wow.
- 8:48Speaker 1: But that's the thing about you. He's such a pro.
- 8:50Speaker 1: He probably would have just gone through it. He would
- 8:52Speaker 1: probably have like. Broke it down. Yeah. See how my
- 8:55Speaker 1: hips are thrusting right here? See this move? See this move? Yeah.
- 9:00Speaker 1: See how that's working? See that smile on my wife?
- 9:02Speaker 1: Let me zoom in on this. Look at that smile
- 9:05Speaker 1: on my wife's face. Look at that. See how that's
- 9:08Speaker 1: operating there? You like that? 53's the mic. Yeah, exactly.
- 9:11Speaker 1: Let's pause that. Anybody got any questions about that before
- 9:14Speaker 1: I move on? Everybody sees that? Everyone? Oh, man. Let's
- 9:18Speaker 1: take a look at this from the end zone copy.
- 9:20Speaker 1: End zone copy.
- 9:21Speaker 5: What do you think of that what do you think
- 9:25Speaker 5: of my action there pretty good right yeah yeah that's
- 9:28Speaker 5: good football right there is what that is that is
- 9:32Speaker 5: quarterback porn that literally is.
- 9:34Speaker 1: That was a term that was used last night i'm
- 9:37Speaker 1: glad it was that's a term he uses a lot
- 9:39Speaker 1: of course on our show of course uh but it
- 9:41Speaker 1: was great he was great audience was great we had
- 9:44Speaker 1: a terrific time and i i will say this i
- 9:46Speaker 1: had numerous people say afterwards can we can we do
- 9:49Speaker 1: this again? Yes. Um, you know, two hours wasn't enough.
- 9:54Speaker 1: And so, yeah, I think we can, we, you know,
- 9:56Speaker 1: talk you into that. I'm sure you'd be happy to
- 9:58Speaker 1: do it, but, um, uh, yeah, I'd like to see
- 10:01Speaker 1: us do that more often. Cause it was a lot
- 10:02Speaker 1: of fun last night. And so here we are this morning, uh,
- 10:05Speaker 1: getting you set on a football Friday for our four
- 10:07Speaker 1: hour show. And he will be a big part of
- 10:09Speaker 1: it today. I said, uh, we all stayed the night
- 10:11Speaker 1: here at the beautiful Toledo resort. Oh man. First time
- 10:15Speaker 1: I've stayed here. First class. Oh, the rooms were outstanding. Absolutely. Uh,
- 10:19Speaker 1: and so, um, Uh, so he's here. He'll be with
- 10:22Speaker 1: us at eight 30 until nine 40 today. So we're
- 10:24Speaker 1: going to have a good hour and a half ish, uh,
- 10:28Speaker 1: visit with, uh, Hugh today. Talk about game day. It's
- 10:32Speaker 1: game day for the Huskies. And then of course we
- 10:34Speaker 1: have Seahawks 49ers biggest game of the regular season to
- 10:37Speaker 1: date this Sunday, one 25 as the undefeated 49ers roll
- 10:42Speaker 1: into town. But as the analysis begins on Friday, and
- 10:45Speaker 1: obviously our analysis on this game began way back on Monday, um,
- 10:50Speaker 1: I mean, here I arrive after four days of discussing this,
- 10:53Speaker 1: and this will be our final opportunity today to break
- 10:57Speaker 1: this game down from a pregame standpoint. I mean, people
- 11:03Speaker 1: can say all they want about how well the 49ers
- 11:05Speaker 1: are playing or how this game has been circled on
- 11:10Speaker 1: their calendar since last year because they were embarrassed of
- 11:15Speaker 1: what happened last year. And they can say, you know,
- 11:18Speaker 1: 49ers are healthy. They weren't healthy at the end of
- 11:20Speaker 1: the season. The old Trent Williams excuse, as I like
- 11:23Speaker 1: to call it. You can say all you want about
- 11:29Speaker 1: Seahawks haven't played good four quarters, which we'll acknowledge yet
- 11:33Speaker 1: this season. But all of this, every single ounce of
- 11:38Speaker 1: prove it in this game is squarely on the shoulders
- 11:42Speaker 1: of the San Francisco 49ers and Kyle Shanahan. I don't
- 11:46Speaker 1: care how well you've been playing. And we will acknowledge that.
- 11:50Speaker 1: You were playing really well when Mike McDonald took you
- 11:54Speaker 1: apart piece by piece. Twice. Twice at the end of
- 11:58Speaker 1: the season when it mattered most. So if this game
- 12:03Speaker 1: matters more to you than those two, maybe we got
- 12:07Speaker 1: something to worry about. But how could it? How could
- 12:11Speaker 1: revenge drive you more than winning a division, winning a
- 12:14Speaker 1: Super Bowl? How could that drive you more I would
- 12:19Speaker 1: think that that is impossible so yeah I get it
- 12:23Speaker 1: and we'll acknowledge it we have to play better football
- 12:26Speaker 1: in order to win this game if they keep playing
- 12:29Speaker 1: as well as they are then we got a raise
- 12:31Speaker 1: to our a game for the first time this entire
- 12:34Speaker 1: season but make no mistake about it all the proving
- 12:38Speaker 1: has to be done by the San Francisco 49ers and
- 12:41Speaker 1: I don't care if you're healthier now than you were
- 12:46Speaker 1: at the end of last season, that doesn't matter because
- 12:49Speaker 1: the first time we played you when you were healthy,
- 12:51Speaker 1: you scored 17 points. The only reason you won the
- 12:54Speaker 1: game is because of an ill-timed jump by Reek Woolen
- 12:58Speaker 1: at the end of the contest and because Sam Darnold
- 13:01Speaker 1: was playing in Clint Kubiak's offense for the first time
- 13:03Speaker 1: in their lives together. And so even when you were healthy,
- 13:08Speaker 1: you couldn't move the ball and score points against Mike
- 13:11Speaker 1: McDonald's defense. And guess what? From that game film and
- 13:16Speaker 1: all the rest of the game film that your very
- 13:19Speaker 1: similar roster. Provided for Mike McDonald, by the end of
- 13:22Speaker 1: the year, there was nothing you could do. You didn't
- 13:25Speaker 1: run the ball against Mike McDonald for three games. Brock
- 13:29Speaker 1: Purdy played average to below average football in his last
- 13:32Speaker 1: two games, and he was coming in on a heater
- 13:35Speaker 1: for those two games.
- 13:36Speaker 4: Yes, he was.
- 13:36Speaker 1: He was the hottest quarterback in the National Football League.
- 13:39Speaker 1: I know because I wrote him to a fantasy football title,
- 13:42Speaker 1: but by the time that he faced Mike McDonald's defense
- 13:44Speaker 1: for a second and third time, Mike McDonald confused him.
- 13:49Speaker 1: The Seahawks' dark side defense showed them the force. And
- 13:56Speaker 1: there was just absolute domination. I mean, when their own
- 13:59Speaker 1: beat writer joins us for the roundtable, Anders, and says, no,
- 14:04Speaker 1: there's no reason to believe that the 49ers are going
- 14:08Speaker 1: to have their way with the Seahawks. Because if you
- 14:11Speaker 1: are intelligent at all, and not just some loudmouth 49er
- 14:15Speaker 1: fan who doesn't get logic, then you're going to understand
- 14:19Speaker 1: what happened in those two games. And so, yes, to me,
- 14:22Speaker 1: all of it squarely lands on the San Francisco 49ers.
- 14:26Speaker 2: Yeah, and we've acknowledged it multiple times, but they can
- 14:30Speaker 2: still be playing better football right now, but I still
- 14:32Speaker 2: don't think they're the better football team. I think the Seahawks,
- 14:36Speaker 2: if they can put it together in this game, which
- 14:38Speaker 2: is a big if, don't get me wrong, it's the
- 14:40Speaker 2: biggest game of the season, We haven't seen them do
- 14:43Speaker 2: it for a full four quarters yet. But if they
- 14:45Speaker 2: can do that, I believe they will be the better
- 14:48Speaker 2: football team and they will come out on top in
- 14:50Speaker 2: this one. And the revenge factor for the Niners is
- 14:52Speaker 2: there for sure because they got destroyed in the last
- 14:55Speaker 2: two games, to be completely honest, especially on their offensive
- 14:59Speaker 2: side of the ball. There's a little bit, I don't
- 15:01Speaker 2: want to say revenge factor, but a we need to
- 15:04Speaker 2: get back to who we are factor for the Seattle Seahawks.
- 15:07Speaker 2: Cause they haven't done that for these first four games.
- 15:09Speaker 2: And Mike McDonald always talks about, it's about us.
- 15:12Speaker 1: It's about us.
- 15:12Speaker 2: We're not thinking about who we're playing against. We do
- 15:14Speaker 2: not care. We do not care. We're playing our own football.
- 15:17Speaker 2: If we do that, we can beat anyone on in
- 15:20Speaker 2: the NFL.
- 15:21Speaker 1: Absolutely. Absolutely. And so if this game comes down to
- 15:26Speaker 1: who's been playing better to this point in the season,
- 15:29Speaker 1: 49ers win. Yeah, of course. If this game does come
- 15:33Speaker 1: down to both teams brought their A games, the Seahawks
- 15:36Speaker 1: are going to win. Yes, they are. And there is
- 15:41Speaker 1: no recent evidence that supports the 49ers' side on this.
- 15:46Speaker 1: You have all the proving to do. Kyle Shanahan has
- 15:50Speaker 1: to prove. What I believe is real, and that is
- 15:53Speaker 1: Mike McDonald owns you. Yes, he does. And I don't
- 15:56Speaker 1: know what you did in the offseason to change that narrative,
- 16:00Speaker 1: but I'm going to have to see it from you.
- 16:02Speaker 1: You're going to have to prove it to me before
- 16:05Speaker 1: I alter my opinion about where your relationship with our
- 16:09Speaker 1: head coach currently stands. I mean, what, an aging Mike Evans?
- 16:12Speaker 1: Is that the key? Who's also hurt. Yeah, exactly. Again.
- 16:17Speaker 2: Christian McCaffrey being worse than he was last year? Was
- 16:20Speaker 2: that the key to everything?
- 16:21Speaker 1: Yeah. I don't know. So, yeah, absolutely open-minded, not predicting
- 16:28Speaker 1: a blowout, not predicting dominance by the Seahawks like we
- 16:31Speaker 1: saw at the end of the year. All I'm saying
- 16:34Speaker 1: is that the team that has to prove themselves in
- 16:37Speaker 1: this game is not the world champions. Believe it or not. Okay. Okay.
- 16:42Speaker 1: All right, let's find out what's on tap for today's
- 16:44Speaker 1: Football Friday. Now back to the Washington State Beef Commission's
- 16:49Speaker 1: Football Friday with Chuck in the Morning on your home
- 16:53Speaker 1: for the NFL. Sports Radio 93.3 KJR-FL. Nothing to see here.
- 17:02Speaker 1: I was about ready, I promise. I know, I know.
- 17:04Speaker 1: I had every faith, don't worry. Great morning to you all,
- 17:09Speaker 1: live from Tulalip Resort Casino. As we are broadcasting, last
- 17:14Speaker 1: night we had our Hugh Millen event, his Chalk Talk event.
- 17:18Speaker 1: Thanks to all those that came. And then this morning,
- 17:22Speaker 1: after spending the night here at the fabulous Tulalip Resort
- 17:24Speaker 1: Casino and Hotel. The rooms are great, aren't they? They're fantastic.
- 17:28Speaker 1: My son loves them more than anyone else. Is that right? Yeah,
- 17:31Speaker 1: he refuses to go to sleep because he's just hanging
- 17:33Speaker 1: out right now. Oh, look at that.
- 17:34Speaker 2: Yeah, I woke him up this morning when I came
- 17:36Speaker 2: on down, and he's hanging out. He wants to enjoy
- 17:39Speaker 2: himself here at the Tulip Casino.
- 17:41Speaker 1: He's like, I got chips burning a hole in my pocket, Dad.
- 17:44Speaker 1: Get me down to the roulette wheel. It's true. You know,
- 17:46Speaker 1: I got to go play 38 black.
- 17:49Speaker 4: It's true.
- 17:50Speaker 1: Yeah. Remind me to tell you before the end of
- 17:53Speaker 1: the show, since we're at a casino. My 26 black
- 17:56Speaker 1: story before the end of the show. All right. We've
- 17:59Speaker 1: got a great story for you.
- 18:00Speaker 2: Since you teased that, we have to make sure we
- 18:02Speaker 2: get to that because everyone, including myself, will be ready
- 18:04Speaker 2: for that.
- 18:05Speaker 1: I can't wait for that story. I'd tell it now,
- 18:07Speaker 1: but I've already promised that Rick Neuheisel, in case you
- 18:11Speaker 1: missed it, going to replay some of our conversation with
- 18:14Speaker 1: Coach Neuheisel from Tuesday. And with it being game day,
- 18:17Speaker 1: Iowa Hawkeyes in town, there will be a 38 black
- 18:20Speaker 1: jersey that will be worn tonight by the– actually, no,
- 18:23Speaker 1: they'll be in their whites, won't they? But nonetheless, the
- 18:26Speaker 1: black and yellow, that classic brand of the Iowa Hawkeyes
- 18:30Speaker 1: playing beneath the lights at the greatest setting in college
- 18:33Speaker 1: football tonight at 6 o'clock. And you can hear all
- 18:36Speaker 1: the coverage right here on your flagship Sports Radio 93.3
- 18:40Speaker 1: KJR FM. And of course, Rick Neuheisel's coached in a
- 18:43Speaker 1: game or two featuring the Dawgs. And so he joins
- 18:46Speaker 1: us every Tuesday. And he had plenty of thoughts this week.
- 18:49Speaker 1: on this game, and we started with just discussing the
- 18:53Speaker 1: Iowa Hawkeyes, who I might argue is the most consistent
- 18:56Speaker 1: team in college football from year to year. Not consistently great,
- 19:01Speaker 1: but just it's the same version every single year. Here's Coach.
- 19:06Speaker 4: Iowa is... consistent as any program in the country. They
- 19:10Speaker 4: are not going to fool you. You're going to know
- 19:13Speaker 4: exactly where they are, but they are going to make
- 19:17Speaker 4: you beat them. And if you don't, you're going to
- 19:19Speaker 4: get beat. They are going to play great run defense.
- 19:24Speaker 4: They are going to try to keep you in front
- 19:26Speaker 4: of them. It was kind of amazing because Phil Parker
- 19:30Speaker 4: is their defensive coordinator. He's a Broyles Award winner, which
- 19:33Speaker 4: is given to the best assistant coach in the country.
- 19:36Speaker 4: He's been doing it forever. For J.J. Smith, the Buckeye receiver,
- 19:41Speaker 4: to have over 200 yards receiving against them was eye-opening.
- 19:45Speaker 4: And yet, when you watch the film, they had him covered.
- 19:47Speaker 4: The kid just made plays that were just great.
- 19:51Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't think he can be stopped. I mean,
- 19:53Speaker 1: they just completely got Jeremiah Smith on Saturday. I don't
- 19:56Speaker 1: know if Mike McDonald would have an answer. for Jeremiah Smith.
- 20:00Speaker 1: He might be the best receiver I've seen in college football.
- 20:04Speaker 1: Where do you put him? I mean, he's doing the
- 20:06Speaker 1: Heisman pose in week number five of the season, for
- 20:08Speaker 1: goodness sake, and I think that he's on track for
- 20:11Speaker 1: getting that done.
- 20:13Speaker 4: Well, there's an old movie, Mr. Smith Goes to Washington.
- 20:16Speaker 4: This Smith is going to New York. I don't know
- 20:19Speaker 4: he's going to win it. But he's going because he's unique.
- 20:24Speaker 4: He's shattered every Ohio State receiving record. And think about
- 20:28Speaker 4: the different receivers that have been there, including your Seahawks,
- 20:31Speaker 4: Jackson Smith, and Jigba, right? I mean, you've got Marvin
- 20:35Speaker 4: Harrison out there. You've got a slew of them. Chris
- 20:38Speaker 4: Olavi was on TV last night. This guy shattered them
- 20:41Speaker 4: all in two and a half seasons. This guy is
- 20:43Speaker 4: that good. So Iowa had their hands full there, but
- 20:47Speaker 4: they are going to make you beat them. You cannot
- 20:49Speaker 4: play turnover. You can't play careless against Iowa and find
- 20:53Speaker 4: a way to win.
- 20:54Speaker 1: Rick Neuheisel with us here. Thanks to Taco Time on
- 20:57Speaker 1: Sports Radio 93.3 KJR FM. Chuck in the mornings and
- 21:02Speaker 1: plenty of good games this weekend, including one on CBS,
- 21:06Speaker 1: which you'll be previewing, and that is ucla versus oregon
- 21:09Speaker 1: they're both coming off bye weeks we knew oregon was
- 21:12Speaker 1: going to be good this year we didn't know ucla
- 21:15Speaker 1: was going to be good and and yet uh dan
- 21:18Speaker 1: lanning's already kind of said it i mean i think
- 21:20Speaker 1: he was taking a shot at usc when he said
- 21:23Speaker 1: it but he also propped up ucla by suggesting this
- 21:27Speaker 1: is the best team in los angeles they certainly played
- 21:29Speaker 1: that way so far this year.
- 21:32Speaker 4: Well, he knows he recruits against USC more than he
- 21:35Speaker 4: does UCLA. So he was taking his swing. Just like
- 21:40Speaker 4: he said, if you want to stay in LA, go
- 21:42Speaker 4: to Chris Brown concerts and go ahead. But look, Bob
- 21:47Speaker 4: Chesney's a heck of a coach. He was at James Madison,
- 21:49Speaker 4: but he was at Holy Cross before that and won there.
- 21:53Speaker 4: James Madison has great resources, and so he won there.
- 21:57Speaker 4: He played against Oregon in Autzen last year in the
- 22:01Speaker 4: college football playoff. So he knows exactly what this will
- 22:05Speaker 4: be like, whether or not he has the weaponry to
- 22:08Speaker 4: compete with Oregon. We'll wait and see. But it won't
- 22:12Speaker 4: be because they're not prepared. They will go in there
- 22:15Speaker 4: with a plan and see if they can do it.
- 22:17Speaker 4: What will be interesting about this game, which is on CBS,
- 22:21Speaker 4: what will be interesting about this game is Dante Moore.
- 22:25Speaker 4: He's come back to practice. But after watching Dylan Rayola
- 22:30Speaker 4: against USC, you got to wonder if you wouldn't like
- 22:34Speaker 4: to have Dylan Rayola keep playing, especially if Dante isn't 100%.
- 22:40Speaker 4: So that will be interesting, a game-time decision, I'm sure,
- 22:44Speaker 4: as to who's going to play quarterback for Oregon. But
- 22:48Speaker 4: this little kid, Wayne Knight, for UCLA, the running back,
- 22:51Speaker 4: who came along from James Madison with Chesney, He's averaging
- 22:55Speaker 4: nine yards a carry and already has nine touchdowns. He's
- 22:59Speaker 4: on fire.
- 23:00Speaker 1: Yeah, no doubt about it. And I'm still, I mean,
- 23:03Speaker 1: we're all still getting used to the new Big Ten.
- 23:05Speaker 1: I mean, I'm still not even used to Nebraska being
- 23:08Speaker 1: in the Big Ten, much less UCLA and Oregon. But
- 23:13Speaker 1: Nebraska and Indiana will play a Big Ten game this
- 23:16Speaker 1: weekend as well. Both teams are 5-0. I know Indiana's
- 23:20Speaker 1: for real. Is Nebraska for real?
- 23:23Speaker 4: Okay, Chuck, when was the last time Nebraska won a
- 23:26Speaker 4: game against a ranked opponent?
- 23:28Speaker 1: Oh, gosh, I don't even know. Was Jarvis Redwine in
- 23:31Speaker 1: the backfield? 2016.
- 23:34Speaker 4: Whoa! It's been 10 years. Matt Rule is 0-8 against
- 23:42Speaker 4: ranked opponents. And here comes Indiana. Can you imagine being
- 23:46Speaker 4: a Nebraska fan who's been there for 20, you know, 30,
- 23:49Speaker 4: 40 years going to these games? selling out Memorial Stadium,
- 23:54Speaker 4: which they've been selling out since the early 60s, and going,
- 23:57Speaker 4: where's Bob Devaney? Where's Tom Osborne? What the heck is
- 24:01Speaker 4: going on? And Indiana comes in here ranked, and we
- 24:04Speaker 4: can't beat Indiana? This is a monster opportunity for Nebraska
- 24:10Speaker 4: to take a giant step in the Matt Rule era.
- 24:13Speaker 4: It's going to be a great game, but I still
- 24:15Speaker 4: think Indiana's more Nebraska than Nebraska.
- 24:19Speaker 1: Yeah, I think Indiana's going to win by 30. Eisel
- 24:23Speaker 1: with us here earlier this week on Tuesday at 9 o'clock.
- 24:27Speaker 1: I do think they're going to win by 30. I
- 24:28Speaker 1: picked them in Factor Fiction. We'll have another pick for
- 24:31Speaker 1: Factor Fiction coming up a little bit later on in
- 24:33Speaker 1: the show at 735. And more from Coach New Eisel
- 24:37Speaker 1: on the Bama-Georgia matchup tomorrow. And we'll do that in
- 24:41Speaker 1: the Ocho, which we do every Friday at 8 o'clock.
- 24:44Speaker 1: Chuck in the Morning's live from Tulalip Resort Casino. More
- 24:48Speaker 1: of everything here at Tulalip. You can trust us. We've
- 24:52Speaker 1: experienced it. Coming up next, our no-cliche keys to victory.
- 24:56Speaker 1: We do it every Friday. Sports Radio 93.3 KJRFM. We
- 25:00Speaker 1: don't work here, but it doesn't make it less annoying.
- 25:06Speaker 1: It's true. Great morning to you all. Yes, we are
- 25:08Speaker 1: broadcasting live from Tulalip Resort Casino here at this beautiful
- 25:14Speaker 1: DraftKings Sportsbook. I mean, there's never... I got up this morning.
- 25:19Speaker 1: I'm not used to people milling around when I get
- 25:21Speaker 1: up in the morning and I come down to the
- 25:23Speaker 1: casino floor, people are already up. Or they stayed up.
- 25:26Speaker 1: I'm not sure if they were already up or if
- 25:28Speaker 1: they stayed and are still up from last night. Honestly,
- 25:31Speaker 1: I would not be surprised if it's the latter. I
- 25:33Speaker 1: walked through at 530. Yeah. You guys are animals. Yeah.
- 25:36Speaker 1: I'll tell you that much. Live till 5. You are animals.
- 25:40Speaker 1: Headlines at the top of the hour. Greg Bell's going
- 25:42Speaker 1: to join us at 705 or Seahawks Insider. Very important
- 25:45Speaker 1: Football Friday conversation with Greg. We'll get at the latest.
- 25:48Speaker 1: injury news and more uh but at 6 45 every
- 25:51Speaker 1: football friday we do our no cliche keys to victory
- 25:54Speaker 1: for the seahawks upcoming game and it's a big one
- 25:57Speaker 1: uh san francisco 49ers at lumen field sunday at 125
- 26:03Speaker 1: anders get us started what is your no cliche key
- 26:06Speaker 1: to victory please don't say in the trenches please don't
- 26:08Speaker 1: say all three phases please don't say win the turnover
- 26:11Speaker 1: battle I will not. Okay, go.
- 26:14Speaker 2: I have done this segment enough times to know what
- 26:17Speaker 2: is and what is not a cliche. Get off the
- 26:19Speaker 2: field on third down. That is my key to victory.
- 26:22Speaker 1: Oh, okay.
- 26:23Speaker 2: I think the 49ers have to be number one in
- 26:25Speaker 2: the league in third down percentage this year. It's an
- 26:29Speaker 2: insane clip. I think they're 75 or something percent right now,
- 26:32Speaker 2: which is insane. The Seahawks, obviously, well-documented struggles. last week
- 26:38Speaker 2: with the penalties and getting off on third down. So
- 26:40Speaker 2: if you combine those two things, that will be a
- 26:45Speaker 2: kind of big point in this game if the Seahawks
- 26:47Speaker 2: do end up getting the Niners in third and long.
- 26:50Speaker 2: Have an opportunity to get off the field and get
- 26:52Speaker 2: their offense back on the field. They need to take
- 26:54Speaker 2: advantage of that. So get off the field on third down.
- 26:57Speaker 2: Don't extend drives for this Niners offense who can be
- 27:00Speaker 2: lethal in the red zone as well.
- 27:02Speaker 1: Get them off the field. All right, get them off
- 27:04Speaker 1: the field. Third down conversion is always a big statistic.
- 27:08Speaker 1: All right, kid, what do you got for your no-cliche
- 27:11Speaker 1: key to victory?
- 27:12Speaker 3: We all know JSN is the man, but I think Sunday,
- 27:16Speaker 3: let's use him as a decoy and use.
- 27:18Speaker 1: That on purpose. I think on pivotal third downs, yes,
- 27:23Speaker 1: go to him. Sure.
- 27:24Speaker 3: But for the most part, keep putting him in motion,
- 27:27Speaker 3: align him everywhere that they've always been doing, whether it's
- 27:29Speaker 3: in the slot, outside, use information to make the defense
- 27:33Speaker 3: declare how to cover him. But then that opens up
- 27:36Speaker 3: Rashid Shahid, A.J. Barner, your running backs catching out of
- 27:40Speaker 3: the back foot, which is something they touched on. earlier
- 27:42Speaker 3: in the offseason that they wanted to get to. So
- 27:44Speaker 3: the objective, I think, isn't to force JSN to get
- 27:47Speaker 3: 12 targets, which, you know what, I'm not mad, but
- 27:50Speaker 3: let's make sure that 49ers are paying attention to everybody else.
- 27:53Speaker 3: And with that, you got to make sure that JSN
- 27:56Speaker 3: is being used as a decoy, opening up opportunities for
- 28:00Speaker 3: everybody else to eat as well.
- 28:02Speaker 1: I personally want JSN to have 15 catches for 195
- 28:05Speaker 1: yards and two scores. That's personally what I want. That's
- 28:08Speaker 1: not fantasy related. Yeah. No, not at all. Not at all.
- 28:11Speaker 1: I mean, I want to just like, I don't know
- 28:13Speaker 1: if anybody can stop them if you really lock in
- 28:16Speaker 1: on him. And I want Sam to have the time
- 28:18Speaker 1: to lock in on him. But I will just, I'll
- 28:22Speaker 1: play along here. What, give me the guy, Chris, that
- 28:26Speaker 1: has to step up then. You know, if, If you're
- 28:29Speaker 1: going to decoy a little bit with 11, then what
- 28:33Speaker 1: other player has to have a big game in the
- 28:35Speaker 1: pass game?
- 28:35Speaker 3: I would say players. It could be Torrey and Rasheed.
- 28:38Speaker 3: I think if they can both have at least seven catches, which.
- 28:40Speaker 1: Is a lot. Wow. Both or combined? I think combined
- 28:44Speaker 1: would be perfect. Yeah. Combined, that makes a little more sense. Oh,
- 28:47Speaker 1: seven each. I mean, my goodness.
- 28:48Speaker 3: They're not running the football at all on Sunday?
- 28:51Speaker 1: I don't know. That might be the total Torrey Horton
- 28:55Speaker 1: gets for the season. Seven catches. With six touchdowns. With
- 28:58Speaker 1: six touchdowns, exactly. All right, my no cliche key to victory. Look,
- 29:05Speaker 1: for everybody that's worried we can't run the football against
- 29:07Speaker 1: this team, you're right. I don't think we're going to.
- 29:11Speaker 1: But for everybody that hasn't paid attention, I don't think
- 29:15Speaker 1: they're going to run the football against us either. I mean,
- 29:18Speaker 1: even in that Commanders game, they didn't run the football
- 29:21Speaker 1: against us, at least not in the second half. Whenever
- 29:25Speaker 1: we kind of figured things out, it was like, that's it, Bill.
- 29:28Speaker 1: You are done, Krosky Merritt. You are out of this game,
- 29:32Speaker 1: impacting this game. I don't think they're going to run
- 29:34Speaker 1: the football. Christian McCaffrey ran for three yards per carry
- 29:37Speaker 1: in three games, not just one game, not just the
- 29:40Speaker 1: elimination game, all three. He rushed for three yards per carry,
- 29:43Speaker 1: and he's not having a very good season this year.
- 29:45Speaker 1: And he's without his fullback in this game, who's really
- 29:48Speaker 1: big in that run game as a blocker. So I
- 29:52Speaker 1: don't think we're going to run the football. I don't
- 29:54Speaker 1: think they're going to run the football. So it's going
- 29:57Speaker 1: to come down to Sam Darnold versus Brock Purdy. Purdy's
- 30:00Speaker 1: playing better than Sam Darnold. There is zero question about that.
- 30:04Speaker 1: And yet I watch Brock Purdy get pulled apart by
- 30:07Speaker 1: Taffy by the Seahawks defense in the last two games
- 30:11Speaker 1: of the year. I mean, there was a moment in
- 30:13Speaker 1: a game. Where we were getting ready to eliminate a
- 30:17Speaker 1: rival in embarrassing fashion, and I was actually feeling sorry
- 30:22Speaker 1: for their quarterback. Wow. That's how much they beat up
- 30:25Speaker 1: Brock Purdy. So they didn't do a very good job
- 30:28Speaker 1: of protecting him. And so I'm going to say pass
- 30:32Speaker 1: protection is going to be the key for both quarterbacks.
- 30:35Speaker 1: Because I think the quarterback who plays better could very
- 30:40Speaker 1: well win this game. And in order for Sam... to
- 30:44Speaker 1: play better than Brock Purdy the heater he's on that
- 30:47Speaker 1: means Sam's got to get protected and that means we
- 30:49Speaker 1: got to put pressure on Brock Purdy in this game
- 30:52Speaker 1: and I think both of those things could very well
- 30:55Speaker 1: happen they're down their best pass rusher and our defense
- 30:59Speaker 1: the dark side defense the Seahawks defense I think it's
- 31:02Speaker 1: going to approach this animalistically because they have actually been
- 31:06Speaker 1: embarrassed in the last two weeks by their standards so
- 31:10Speaker 1: I think that's going to be the key to this
- 31:11Speaker 1: game And I think that the Seahawks are going to
- 31:13Speaker 1: be able to pull both those things off. Yeah. I mean,
- 31:16Speaker 1: just considering how well they've been playing, I hope that's
- 31:18Speaker 1: the case. All right. I already know what Greg Bell's
- 31:20Speaker 1: key to the game is, but he'll remind us next
- 31:23Speaker 1: at 7.05. Plus your headline, Sports Radio 93.3 KJR FM.
