  Speaker 2: first full football weekend that we've enjoyed as a sports community.
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: And certainly here we are on a Monday to react
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: to all of it. My name is Chuck Powell. Welcome
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: to Chuck in the Mornings. And today is a little
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: bit of a new era beginning here in the mornings
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: as it was made official. For those of you that
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: did not hear our final two segments on Friday, the
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: Chuck and the Buck era begins. officially came to a close,
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: I guess, a few weeks ago with Bucky's announcement that
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: he wasn't going to be returning to the morning show.
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: We're still working on him in some capacity, being a
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: featured guest on this program on a regular basis, still
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: being a part of the KJR family. But we also made,
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: as I warned you, there was going to be another
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: move to the morning show at some point, another major move.
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: So if you didn't hear that, On Friday, Ashley and
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: I signed off as a pair, the last remaining members
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: of the Chuck and Buck Morning radio program. So she's
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: not going anywhere in terms of not leaving the station.
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: She will be going to Ian Furness's radio program. So
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: she'll be on with Ian starting today as their new
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: era begins at noon. And, of course, Ian lost something
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: in the exchange as well. And so a little bit
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: of like a trade, insider trading took place over the
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: course of the last couple of weeks. And so here
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: on a permanent basis, not here to fill in, not
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: here as a guest. He didn't exactly dress for the
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: occasion today. That's fair. It's 5. It's 6 a.m. Come on, man.
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: You can't expect much more than that. It's not like
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: I'm still trying to impress you, buddy. I got the job.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: Anders Hurst is here for his first official morning show.
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: Thank you so much, Chuck. It's good to be here.
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 3:11
  Speaker 5: You know, I typhooned my sleep schedule. Let's let's get
• 3:16
  Speaker 5: to it. But I don't know what happened with the
• 3:18
  Speaker 5: trade because, you know, it's like that.
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: We have a trade to announce. Yes. And breaking news.
• 3:27
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't know if you maybe sent a couple
• 3:28
  Speaker 5: picks in exchange with Ashley or if maybe Ian had
• 3:32
  Speaker 5: to send some.
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: Picks with me. Oh, we're getting a future number one. Oh,
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: we are. We're getting a future number one. Yeah, I mean,
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: you have to give up a little bit more. Right, right.
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: For the more unproven commodity. Exactly, right?
• 3:41
  Speaker 5: But there's a high ceiling, you know what I mean?
• 3:42
  Speaker 5: But there could be a literally low floor as well.
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 3:45
  Speaker 5: We'll see what ends up happening there. But yeah, I'm
• 3:48
  Speaker 5: excited to be here. Appreciate it. We mentioned it on
• 3:50
  Speaker 5: Ian's show as well. um and uh you know it's
• 3:53
  Speaker 5: it's it's gonna be a fun ride here it's what
• 3:56
  Speaker 5: what a first kind of show after this weekend's sports extravaganza.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah and and look i mean it was a really
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: good it was almost therapeutic friday we had bucky back
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: on and then we had ashley great so we made
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: the announcement within bucky coming back on our airways for
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: the first time in a while so we closed out
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: the show with that on friday in case anybody missed
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: it and um And just feel good about it. I mean,
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: Ashley's in a great place with it. Ian's in a
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: great place with it. I think Anders is in a
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: great place with it. I'm in a great place with it.
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: And so, yeah, we just kind of rearranged some of
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: our furniture here, but both houses are... looking sexy and
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: strong and ready to forge ahead.
• 4:40
  Speaker 5: It's one of those trades where it's like, hey, both
• 4:43
  Speaker 5: teams got what they needed out of this, right?
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: I like those kind of trades. It works out for
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: both teams. Exactly, exactly.
• 4:50
  Speaker 5: I'm trying to think of a Mariners example, but usually
• 4:52
  Speaker 5: there's one team that definitely fares better than the other one,
• 4:55
  Speaker 5: whether it is the Mariners or the other team.
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: So we'll find one by the end of the show today.
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: I went to CBS Sports. I checked the letter grades.
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: We both got an A. We both got an A-. Perfect.
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: I don't know what it is. I don't know what
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: the flaw they saw. What was the minus? What's going on?
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know. I'd have to ask him.
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: But both teams got an A- out of it. Travis
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: Moger is here as well, and good to see Travis
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: here on this Monday morning. Sorry to disturb your beauty rest.
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: I'm happy to be here. Is he? Is he actually?
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: I think Travis. Yeah, especially on Andrew's first show. Okay,
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: that's so sweet of you. Thank you. Travis is wonderful
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: to have around. Way too nice. Yeah, he's here for
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: the car wreck. I love seeing disasters up close and personal.
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: Can't wait to get my first taste. Of how bad
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: this show is going to be. Not at all. No, no, no. Well,
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: so this is it. This is going to be going forward.
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: These are the voices you're going to be hearing. And
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: so hope you like the change. And again. Ashley will
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: be on this afternoon with Ian, her first show today.
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: Last thing that I saw before I went to sleep
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: last night was her texting us and saying, have a
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: great show tomorrow morning.
• 6:09
  Speaker 5: Very similar to my first show being a morning after
• 6:12
  Speaker 5: week one in the NFL and a Mariners weekend that
• 6:15
  Speaker 5: we have to talk about.
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: She gets the Mollie.
• 6:17
  Speaker 5: Whoppers after that weekend for her first Ian Furness show.
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: Oh, wow.
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: That should be fun. Oh, geez. Good luck to her. Well,
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: we are certainly going to carve out a chunk of
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: the show today to talk some baseball, even though it
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: is opening week of the National Football League season, opening
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: week of all football being played. But the fact that
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: the Seahawks played on Wednesday gives us an opportunity to
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: kick a few things around, including that disaster of a
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: weekend in Sacramento, which we'll get to in a moment.
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: Didn't have to be a disaster. Really did not have
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: to be a disaster. Could have been really fun to
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: talk about this morning. Turned out to be disastrous. And
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: then the Huskies offense, which is pretty close to being
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: disastrous at this point in the season, despite the 2-0
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: start for Jed Fish's club. So that's another big topic
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: that we're going to discuss a little bit later on
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: in the show. We've got an update. injury-wise on Sam Darnold,
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: which will be another huge topic on today's show today.
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: According to Mike Florio, it's not going to be just
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: week number two that he's going to miss. It looks
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: like he's going to be out four to six weeks.
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: And so you wonder how the Seahawks might react to that.
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: So a lot of big, big topics to discuss here
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: on this Monday morning. So Andrew's first show here in
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: the morning. In an official capacity. We're not going to
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: be short on subject matter. No. Yeah.
• 7:43
  Speaker 5: Like I said, what a day to have our first
• 7:46
  Speaker 5: show together. Yeah, there are not going to be.
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: Any topics like, what was your first date like? Yeah, right.
• 7:52
  Speaker 5: We got Buttgate with Sam Darnold. We got the Mariners,
• 7:57
  Speaker 5: whatever that is. And week one in the NFL. I mean, like,
• 8:01
  Speaker 5: there's just, there's so much going on. My wife yesterday.
• 8:03
  Speaker 5: What's your favorite Marvel movie? We're not going to be
• 8:07
  Speaker 5: doing any of that today.
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: No, we're not.
• 8:08
  Speaker 5: We're not. As fun as that is, that conversation is,
• 8:14
  Speaker 5: it is. Like, it's a great one. But, no, I mean,
• 8:16
  Speaker 5: my wife yesterday looks at me and is like, man,
• 8:18
  Speaker 5: you've been looking at the TV all day. It's like
• 8:21
  Speaker 5: seven hours. I'm like, yes, there's a guy that says
• 8:23
  Speaker 5: that on the Red Zone. Yes, you said the thing.
• 8:25
  Speaker 5: Seven hours of football. And then sprinkling a Mariners game
• 8:29
  Speaker 5: in there, and you got a full day of sports.
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: So she was like, man, you do this every Sunday?
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: I'm like, yeah, I do, actually. And Saturdays. And then
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: you end up on Sunday watching the Mariners as well
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: on top of it. And so, yes, that's it. That's it. Wifey.
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: Get used. That's it, son.
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: Newborn son. Hey, he watched a lot of it with me.
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: All right. Well, let's talk about NFL week one and
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: just like the overall like observations to it all. And
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: I've just gotten to the point as a sports fan
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: and as a football fan. And believe me, before we
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: get any further into this topic, it is the right
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: thing to do. It is the right thing to do
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: the way that coaches and teams now prepare for a
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: football season. not risking players on a practice field to
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: unnecessary injury. I don't think NFL preseason football should exist
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: at all. So I'm certainly not going to criticize a
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: head coach for not playing his starters in games that
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: don't count. And I really don't know if you get
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: much of an edge or an advantage in by playing
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: your starters a little bit during the preseason games, it
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: probably is more risk than reward by exposing your starters.
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: But of course, now more than ever, we start week
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: number one of the National Football League season with a
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: series of lies. I don't know if anything is more
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: deceiving than the first week of the National Football League season.
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: The New England Patriots a year ago lost to the
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: Las Vegas Raiders in opening week and went on to
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: the Super Bowl. I'm not sure what to believe from
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: what I've seen. Our first taste of all of these
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: teams in the National Football League for 2026 who really
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: did improve. What is real? What isn't real? And I
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: do believe that that's part of... teams don't really know
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: what they have in week number one. It's going to
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: take four, six quarters, maybe up to 12 quarters, I think,
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: before we start getting a true idea what these teams
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: actually are. Mike Tomlin sort of addressed it at halftime
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: of the Sunday night game. And he took the stance
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: because normally... What you tend to believe is that the
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: defense is going to be better early than the offense.
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: Just like pitching is always better early than the hitters
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: in a Major League Baseball season. That's the working theory.
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: And that actually makes more sense to me. Per Hugh
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: Millen's The Defense is a Beehive article. and the offense
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: is a symphony in the National Football League. I mean,
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: the offense is all about timing. And if you never
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: truly practice your timing, how is the offense going to
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: be ready for the start of the season? When you're
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: not going full speed at any point, how can the
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: offense be ready for the start of the season? It
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: makes more sense that the defense is ahead. And yet
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: Mike Tomlin, on a day in which more points were
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: scored since the merger in the opening week of the
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: National Football League season... said that he and Jason Garrett
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: have a conversation, and they believe that they're not surprised
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: that there were so many points because the defense doesn't
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: get to practice tackling. And their timing is off. I
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: don't know if I buy that theory. Here's what I
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: do buy, Anders, is that week number one, It makes
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: sense to react because it's our first taste of all
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: 32 teams in the National Football League, and that includes
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: the Seahawks going all the way back to Wednesday. But
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: I would just be careful reacting. There's a reason they
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: call this Overreaction Monday on the sports calendar is because
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: we see one team play and then we swear that's
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: the gospel on Monday where I think it might be
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: the most deceiving week of the entire sports calendar is
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: opening week of the National Football League season. And trying
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: to figure out if what you saw was real or fake.
• 12:50
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, the word I come back to is
• 12:52
  Speaker 5: a lot of teams look unprepared. And that includes the
• 12:55
  Speaker 5: Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks in their game. They looked
• 12:58
  Speaker 5: very unprepared. A lot of it, you know, I guess
• 13:00
  Speaker 5: we talked about it a bunch is having the backup
• 13:03
  Speaker 5: quarterback come in the second series and finish out the
• 13:05
  Speaker 5: game and. for the foreseeable future, it's going to be
• 13:08
  Speaker 5: that way. But looking at all the other games yesterday
• 13:10
  Speaker 5: is very kind of exceptions to the rule that both
• 13:13
  Speaker 5: offensively and defensively, it was very kind of sloppy football.
• 13:17
  Speaker 5: There was a lot of high level football played, but
• 13:20
  Speaker 5: when it's not just in terms of like your own
• 13:23
  Speaker 5: schemes and your own, uh, physical kind of bringing you
• 13:27
  Speaker 5: up to speed at the NFL game, it's, there's no
• 13:31
  Speaker 5: film on the other teams, right? So that's another reason why...
• 13:34
  Speaker 5: Bunch of new coaches, bunch of new coordinators. You have
• 13:37
  Speaker 5: no idea what they're going to do. And you look
• 13:39
  Speaker 5: and see how different week one looks, and you highlighted
• 13:42
  Speaker 5: the Patriots example from last year, compared to what the
• 13:45
  Speaker 5: rest of the season looks like. I think that tells
• 13:47
  Speaker 5: me that they rely on that preparation... lots of cases,
• 13:51
  Speaker 5: the film looking at what other teams are doing and
• 13:53
  Speaker 5: reacting to that more than maybe we even think about.
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: That makes, that makes sense. Yeah. I mean, that makes
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: sense in terms of the Garrett Tomlin conversation, because that
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: was new to me, like that we have so many
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: points because, because it's usually the other way around. Right.
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: It feels to me like the conversation is the other
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: way around. But when you say it that way, new coordinators,
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: no chance to watch film, new systems out there. And,
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: Maybe defenses haven't had time to figure out what it
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: is they're going to try to do against us. We
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: might have a completely different story. Now, I will say this.
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: I mean, you can't not be impressed with the Chicago Bears. Absolutely.
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: I mean, Ben Johnson, we already knew, was a really
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: good offensive mind. Caleb Williams did seem to have a
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: bit of a breakthrough season a year ago. And then
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: for Johnson to... at the beginning of the year, say,
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: we're going to score more points than anybody in the
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: National Football League. History. And then to go out in
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: your first game and score 59 points against a Carolina
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: team that made the playoffs last year and is supposed
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: to be better on defense. Yeah. They added Devin Lloyd.
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: They added Jalen Phillips on that side of the ball. J.C.
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: Oren's actually healthy for a change. And yet they put
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: 59 points on the board. In their own stadium. Probably
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: could have put more.
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: So for somebody to kind of call their shot, and again,
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: week number one, we don't want to overreact.
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: But when somebody is making the statement, we're going to
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: have the best offense in the history of football. That's
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: our goal. Yeah. And then they go out and score
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: 59 points in game number one. Gets your attention. Absolutely.
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: And Caleb Williams, man. He's going to be the number
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: one fantasy player this year.
• 15:41
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: Based on what I saw yesterday, he's going to be
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: the number one fantasy player this year. Don't bring it up.
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: It's a sore, sore subject with me. Jesus. You know this.
• 15:52
  Speaker 5: I had to face him this week. Yeah, but both
• 15:55
  Speaker 5: Caleb Williams and DeAndre Swift, I was one pick away.
• 15:59
  Speaker 5: Mike freaking Benton. That's all I'm going to say. Yeah,
• 16:01
  Speaker 5: that's who I played this week. That's all I'm going
• 16:03
  Speaker 5: to say.
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: He murdered me in my sleep. Benson murdered you? Yeah,
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: he's terrible usually, right? We can all agree on that.
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: We've all been in the league for a little while.
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: Why is he swiping my picks from me, man? Yeah, yeah.
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: Usually asleep at the wheel. Seriously? Yeah, hockey guy. Yeah.
• 16:17
  Speaker 5: I'm suspicious that someone did his rankings that normally.
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: Got some outside help. Exactly. I mean, I thought it
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: was weird a couple of years ago with the third
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: pick in the fantasy draft. He took Nathan McKinnon. Yeah.
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: I'm like, uh.
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: And then he took Shohei Otani in the next round. Right.
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: That was bizarre. Freaking Dodger lover. My God. I'm taking
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: Kale McCarr with my seventh round pick. Yeah. Just going
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: full hockey, baseball, Dodgers stuff. Yeah. You get some points
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: for that, right? But yeah, I think that that's a
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: pretty impressive first showing. That does get your attention. But
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: a lot of the other stuff, we'll see. Yeah. We'll
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: see how it goes. We'll see. I don't think Baker
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: Mayfield has a huge problem.
• 17:07
  Speaker 4: No.
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: He has a problem with ball security because he plays
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: so aggressively. Is he going to fumble every time he
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: gets hit this year? I don't think so. Yeah, probably not. Yeah,
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: because that's what happened yesterday. So a lot to react
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: to here on this Monday after the first full weekend
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: of football, and we'll get to a lot of it. Well,
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: not all of it. That's impossible, but we'll get to
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: a lot of it. Let's find out what's on tap
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: for today's show.
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: This is What's On Tap, brought to you by Emerald

• 17:52
  Speaker 2: All right. And so, yeah. For some reason, I'm like,
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: was Nathan McKinnon? Did I have that right? I had
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: to look it up. I'm like, yeah, I got it.
• 18:00
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: I mean, I know it's early on a Monday. But,
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: you know.
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: I didn't think I was that far off. That is
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: the best player in hockey. Yeah, I agree. I agree
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: with you. NFL week number one. Haven't even touched upon it,
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: but we will. Cardinals shocked the Chargers. There's always that
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: one big upset in the opening week. And again, you
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: want to read into it, but you shouldn't. You shouldn't overreact.
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: The Chargers aren't terrible.
• 18:25
  Speaker 5: Nope.
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: And the Cardinals aren't going to challenge... in the NFC West.
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: But it's a good win. It's a really good win
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: for Mike LaFleur. And it's a really bad loss for
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: Jim Harbaugh. So we'll get into that during the course
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: of the show. John Harbaugh got a really nice win
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: last night. I mean, how well It is so obvious
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: how much better coached they are in one game than
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: they've been in 10 years. I know. Was it just me? No, 100%. 100% agree.
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: They looked fantastic last night. They just looked like a
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: functioning unit. And their function highlighted how dysfunctional they've been
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: for the last 10 years. And the Cowboys were. For
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: that matter. They're certainly not improved defensively. No. I mean,
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: they've added 38 players, but they don't look better defensively. No,
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: at all.
• 19:16
  Speaker 5: Another impressive, like, I thought that there would be a
• 19:20
  Speaker 5: drop-off from Baltimore, but everyone loves Baltimore this year, so
• 19:23
  Speaker 5: John Harbaugh moving on to New York.
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: It seems like another win-win for both sides. There you go.
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: There's your win-win example. That's what you're looking for. Yeah, exactly.
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: The Giants got Anders Hurst. Are we the Giants the
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: morning show? And the Ravens. Ashley Ryan. Three 1-0 teams
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: in the NFC West now because of that Cardinals shocking win.
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: And then the first week of the regular season we'll
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: wrap up tonight with Denver at Kansas City. Just one game.
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: I guess we don't do the two games anymore on
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: Monday Night Football on the opening week. So kickoff tonight
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: at 515. Patrick Mahomes will play. We'll see how good
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: he looks. He's going to be facing a great defense
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: as his first test in 2026. Sam Darnold, as I
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: already mentioned, and we will discuss it thoroughly, he's going
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: to be out four to six weeks, according to Mike Florio.
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: We don't know if that's gospel, but Jay Glazer reported
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: up to four weeks. Florio went further yesterday, four to
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: six weeks. He's not been placed on the IR. And
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: if you're going to be out four weeks, if the
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: Seahawks believed he was going to be out four weeks,
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: they probably would place him on IR. Just like the
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: Rams did with Miles Garrett. Just like the Rams did
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: with Miles Garrett over the weekend. So we will discuss that,
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: whether or not that's going to prompt a move from
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: the Seahawks to add to their quarterback room. That'll come
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: up a little bit later on in the show. We
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: will not have Greg Bell today, though. He is in
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: Hawaii and won't be back until Wednesday. College football, Texas
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: impossibly rallied to win over Ohio State on Saturday, and
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: they are now the new number one ranked team in
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: all of college football. Wasn't even the biggest story. The
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: biggest story was the upset of Oklahoma State over Oregon.
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: So Oregon's played two games, barely beat Boise State, lost
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: to a team that had not won a game in
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: over a year, and they have fallen from sixth in
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: the rankings to 21 this week and might be lucky
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: to be ranked at all, which leads us to UW,
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: who is 2-0 and is no longer ranked. They fell
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: out of the rankings, have not been impressive in either
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: of their narrow victories to this point in the season. Saturday,
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: they barely... defeated Utah State 16-14. Utah State actually had
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: the ball with a chance to win the game, for
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: goodness sake, against the Huskies on Saturday. So we'll be
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: talking about that. That's another big topic here today, especially
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: what's wrong with Jed Fish's offense. Sounders, now just, can
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: you go on a draw streak?
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: I've heard of winning streaks and losing streaks. Absolutely. Is
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: there a drawing streak? I don't know. I'm on a
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: drawing streak.
• 22:01
  Speaker 5: They kind of twist it into an unbeaten run. Because
• 22:04
  Speaker 5: technically you're not losing, but you're also not really getting
• 22:07
  Speaker 5: your full points either.
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: It's an old Saturday Night Live skit. Oh, you know
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: my name is Simon, and I like to do drawings.
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: Of course, it's in English, too. Yes. Damn Brits. Yeah.
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: And I think they are Simon. They like to do drawings. Yeah, yeah.
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: Every day, all day long.
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: Come and do drawings with me.
• 22:30
  Speaker 3: Drawings.
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: Drawings. That's Danny Jackson singing that. Oh, yeah. Kraken camp
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: got started over the weekend, and of course the Mariners
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: somehow lost two out of three to Sacramento, including an
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: 8-7 walk-off yesterday in which they led 6-2 late in
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: that game and looked for sure like they were going
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: to close the gap in the American League West to
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: four games with the Houston Astros. Instead, we're talking about
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: one of the worst defeats of the season again. We'll
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: recap it next. We're underway on a Monday. Mariners morning after.
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: Sports Radio 93.3 KJR FM. Yeah, Travis is like, no, no, no, no, no.
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: That song you've been playing during losses, that Wahlberg song,
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: it's not depressing enough. We got to take it to
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: a whole new level today. It's time for Mariners morning after. Yes,
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: the Mariners did play yesterday and somehow lost a game.
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: They had no business losing. The final score ended up
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: being eight to seven. But at one point, the Mariners
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: had led six to two in this contest. and looked
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: like they were going to cruise. What's more, it looked
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: like they were going to gain another game on the
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: Houston Astros, who got swept by the Tampa Bay Rays
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: over the weekend. Therefore, despite Friday's crushing loss to a
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: bad team in Sacramento, there was a good chance we
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: were going to come on the air this morning with
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: the Mariners having won two of three against the A's
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: and gained two full games in the division against And
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: we were going to be sitting here four games out
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: of first place and feeling like there's really a chance here. Yeah.
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: There's a legitimate chance here. And instead, up 6-2 in
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: the bottom of the seventh, Dan Wilson keeps Carlos Vargas
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: in the game for a second inning. He allows the
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: first two runners to get on base. That's not the
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: biggest sin, but I thought it was sinful.
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: Gabe Spire is the biggest sin because he just pitched
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: like crap. Gabe Spire came in, could not throw the
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: ball anywhere he wanted. Next thing you know, you'll end
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: up tied. Sir Anthony Dominguez came in one batter too late,
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: which was another Dan Wilson error, and it's 6-6 at
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: the end of the seventh. What happens? Randy Orozarena, the
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: hero we never knew we needed. What's the team on
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: his back? puts the team on his back, and for
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: the second time in the game, hits a home run.
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: This right after Johnny Pareda makes one of the worst
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: base running blunders you've ever seen in your entire life,
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: and Rosarino says, don't worry, I've got you. Homers on
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: the next pitch was fired up, so fired up. It
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: did feel enormous that he responded in that fashion and
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: just kind of put the team on the back, as
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: Anders said, put you up 7-6, then in the 8,
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: Sir Anthony Dominguez gives up a base runner, and the decision,
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: out of desperation apparently, goes to Andres Munoz, who you're
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: going to ask to get five outs for the save.
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: This after he'd thrown 40 pitches in the previous three days.
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: And so Munoz gets the job done in the eighth.
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: Inherits a runner at third base, strikes out Henry Bolte,
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: gets the fly out to left field, but he still
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: has three big outs to go. Starts the ninth by
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: walking a batter, the first batter that he faces, and
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: then falls behind Lawrence Butler. And basically, he just did
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: not want to walk Lawrence Butler. That was the initiative
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: at that point, and it cost him. Fly ball.
• 26:28
  Speaker 4: Deep.
• 26:29
  Speaker 3: Right field, and it's gone!
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: The A's book in.
• 26:39
  Speaker 3: The series with walk-off home runs. And they may have
• 26:46
  Speaker 3: single-handedly driven a stake through the Mariners in the last
• 26:51
  Speaker 3: week and change.
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: This game is over. The A's win it. And that's
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: why Travis Moger plays morbid war music. This is the end.
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: In a baseball segment. That's why we're having nightmares about
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: Kurtz and Dennis Hopper all hopped up on drugs. That's
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: why we're doing that today. Munoz blows the save. The
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: Mariners blow the win. Eight to seven is your final score.
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: Here's Dan Wilson after the game.
• 27:29
  Speaker 4: On that play, we need someone there backing it up.
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: Randy's there a lot of the time.
• 27:33
  Speaker 4: He wasn't on that particular one.
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: Is that the one we wanted?
• 27:36
  Speaker 4: Even if we keep the runner in second, we'd probably
• 27:38
  Speaker 4: go to Mooney there anyway.
• 27:41
  Speaker 6: As we've talked about, we've got to do what we
• 27:43
  Speaker 6: can in these situations, and that was a situation where
• 27:45
  Speaker 6: we probably would have gone anyway. I think we had
• 27:47
  Speaker 6: to get it done there with Mooney, and we were
• 27:49
  Speaker 6: able to get out.
• 27:50
  Speaker 4: Of it and give ourselves a chance. We've got to
• 27:53
  Speaker 4: keep going.
• 27:54
  Speaker 6: There's not a sense of not again. It's a sense
• 27:57
  Speaker 6: of Continuing to move forward. It's a tough one today,
• 27:59
  Speaker 6: no question. We've got to keep fighting, keep going, and
• 28:03
  Speaker 6: we get a chance to do that tomorrow.
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: They're all tough.
• 28:05
  Speaker 4: They're all tough. And this time of year especially, this
• 28:07
  Speaker 4: is difficult.
• 28:08
  Speaker 6: And this is one we're going to have to bounce
• 28:12
  Speaker 6: back from tomorrow.
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: Does he know?
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: He knows.
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: He does. There is no way that he doesn't know.
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: He can't help himself. He can't help himself. They're just
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: all tough ones. We have 70 wins this year and
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: 80 tough ones. Yeah. That's where we're at right now.
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: You have to laugh through the tears sometimes. You have to, yeah.
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: 12 games to go, five games back, could have been four.
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: I mapped out a scenario on Friday. Hey, look, the
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: next nine games, the Astros have to play the Rays,
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: an improved Kansas City team, and the Atlanta Braves. They
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: could go four and five.
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: Of course.
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: Can the Mariners go 8-1 against the three worst teams
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: in baseball and then arrive in that Houston series two
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: back and two head-to-head games? Yeah, that gives you a chance.
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: The Astros and the Rays cooperated fully with my plan. Yes,
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: they did. with the Rays sweeping them over the weekend,
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: and the Mariners blow two games against a bad team
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: that has a bunch of scrappers, a bunch of young kids.
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: And they were very excited to have ruined our day yesterday,
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: that's for sure. But just a horrible loss. And you
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: put most of it, Anders, on Gabe Spire because he
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: blew it. Yeah, of course. But a terrible Dom Canzone throw.
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: put the runner at third to begin with in that
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: previous inning. Brock Rodden, for some reason, had a guy
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: out clearly at second base and decided, no, no, no, no,
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: I got a better chance at first, and he doesn't
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: get an out, and Jeff McNeil legs it. Again. Jeff McNeil.
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: A 75-year-old, never been a good teammate in his entire life,
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: is hustling down the line to beat out an infield
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: single to keep the Mariners... from any kind of joy.
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: And our joy did. Like Cersei Lannister. It turned to
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: ash in our mouths when McNeil legs that out. And
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: then I thought that the pitching decisions were horrible. And unfortunately...
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: It outshines Randy Rosarino's heroics, Bryce Miller getting the job done,
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: working through the five innings, Carlos Vargas working a really
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: good sixth, Sir Anthony Dominguez looked like he might save
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: us there, Andres Munoz got us out of the eighth.
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: I mean, there were a lot of moments in this
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: game where it's like, man, some guys are really stepping
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: up here, but there were so many plays that just
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: a loser team makes and they lost the game again. Yeah.
• 30:53
  Speaker 5: I mean, you go two and five against the A's
• 30:56
  Speaker 5: in the last two weeks that, that just two and
• 31:00
  Speaker 5: five against the A's. If you had won both series against,
• 31:04
  Speaker 5: like you said, one of the worst teams in baseball.
• 31:07
  Speaker 5: We would be in such a different situation right now.
• 31:09
  Speaker 5: And this is why a lot of the projections from
• 31:13
  Speaker 5: a lot of the national baseball people, even local baseball
• 31:16
  Speaker 5: people were saying, hey, this schedule really lends itself to
• 31:19
  Speaker 5: the Mariners in September. If you just take care of
• 31:22
  Speaker 5: business against these terrible teams that you're facing, you'll find
• 31:25
  Speaker 5: yourself with an opportunity. And the fact you can't even
• 31:28
  Speaker 5: get that done just tells you where the Mariners are
• 31:30
  Speaker 5: this season.
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: It's pathetic, honestly. I mean, they just haven't played winning baseball.
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: And again, those same national guys you talked about, Vegas.
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: I mean, everybody's in agreement of how good this team
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: should have been this year. And the fact that they
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: just are sitting here 12 games to go, 10 games under. 500.
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: I mean, they have been a bad team. They shouldn't
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: have been, but they've just been a bad team. They
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: find ways to lose. That's the symbol of teams that
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: are bad. And their manager does not put them in
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: the best positions to win, period.
• 32:06
  Speaker 5: All things can be true, by the way. Players are
• 32:08
  Speaker 5: not playing well. They're not executing. And the manager's not
• 32:11
  Speaker 5: putting them in positions to succeed.
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they're both true. Exactly. That's the only way that
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: you could have... goat-effed this as badly as you did
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: this season, that's really the only way. And that's where
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: we sit right now and probably is the end. We'll
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: have more time to expand on all of those thoughts
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: a little bit later on in the show. But coming
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: up next on the radio program, it is back. It's
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: our NFL scoreboard. Now, it's week number one. We don't
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: have a Seahawks game to break down for four hours today.
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: We've already done that. So this is going to allow
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: me to divide our NFL scoreboard segment into three different segments. Oh,
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: we get three of them? Let's go. And so we
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: can go over all the results from over the weekend.
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: We'll just stretch it out over the course of their show.
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: But for those that have listened to this particular show
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: over the years, you know what happens now. I need
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: someone to name the segment for the entire year because
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: NFL scoreboard or around the league. Boring. Boring, and I'm
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: done with it. So I'll take anything. 49451, you know
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: the routine. You name the segment. I will take the
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: first suggestion. We're not going to pour over it. First
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: suggestion that isn't vulgar or stupid. And that's going to
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: be the name of the segment for the entire football season.
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: So get your suggestions in at 49451, but be quick
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: about it because I'm taking the first good one that
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: we get. Sports Radio 93.3 KJR FM. Oh, every Monday morning,
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: we do go around the league. Just don't want to
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: call it that. We do give you an NFL scoreboard.
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: We just don't want to call it that. So here
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: we are. Thanks to our listeners. Many of you smartasses,
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: by the way. Congratulations. You're part of the family. Yes,
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: you are. You fit right in. Yeah, you do. Welcome
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: to our first installment. And we're going to have three.
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: We're going to break it into three installments today of
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: wins and tough ones. I like that. That's good.
• 34:22
  Speaker 4: That's okay.
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 34:23
  Speaker 5: Wins and tough ones. Wins and tough ones. We're going
• 34:26
  Speaker 5: to play out this bit as long as it takes. Well,
• 34:29
  Speaker 5: that's part of the, like, the baseball season's almost over.
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: Don't we want to forget about it?
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: We're keeping it alive in our brains by making it
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: a football bit now. What if Dan Wilson gets fired?
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: What are we ever going to do? This is his legacy.
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: This is his legacy. We'll remember him. The tough ones segment.
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: It'll be on his gravesite. He lived a long life,
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: but it ended in a tough one. All right, let's
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: get to your scores. And I'm just going to do
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: the late scores now. We'll get to the entire scoreboard
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: before the end of the show comes to a close.
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: But the Giants won last night 28-20 over the Dallas Cowboys. Dallas'
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: new-look defense that is supposed to unlock their full potential
• 35:15
  Speaker 2: allowed 394 yards of offense last night and drew the
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: ire of Chris Collinsworth. He called the end of the
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: first half drive by the Giants one of the worst
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: examples of defense he's ever seen in his years of
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: being around football. as the Giants, with very little time,
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: just marched down the field and scored a big touchdown.
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: And let's face it, the Giants look completely different. John
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: Harbaugh shows you what kind of impact a good head
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: coach can have. I mean, they've looked... so sloppy over
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: the years, and all of a sudden they get John Harbaugh,
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: and I don't think that that was coloring my view.
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: They just looked completely different. They looked functional last night.
• 35:59
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and you talked about Caleb Williams and the jump
• 36:01
  Speaker 5: that he might make. I think the same could be
• 36:03
  Speaker 5: said about Jackson Dart. He looked really good.
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: He did look good.
• 36:05
  Speaker 5: Much better in operating the offense, not taking as many
• 36:08
  Speaker 5: hits as he needed to. Still took a couple, and
• 36:11
  Speaker 5: they looked balanced. A lot of times they'd be top-heavy,
• 36:13
  Speaker 5: throwing to one guy the entire time, but they looked
• 36:15
  Speaker 5: like a balanced football team.
• 36:16
  Speaker 2: Cardinals won 26-14 over the Chargers. We've already talked about
• 36:20
  Speaker 2: this a little bit. It's the biggest upset of the
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: opening week. Jeremiah Love was used for only 13 touches.
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: He did have a touchdown. And Justin Herbert, once again, underwhelming.
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: This is a huge year for Justin Herbert.
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: It is.
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: I want to hear he's got a bad offensive line
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: at the end of the year. He takes bad sacks,
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: and he takes them at bad times, and he did
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: it again yesterday.
• 36:39
  Speaker 5: Yeah. People have been giving him excuses forever. There's someone
• 36:43
  Speaker 5: who voted him for the MVP last year because he
• 36:45
  Speaker 5: had a bad O-line. And a lot of people took
• 36:48
  Speaker 5: that away from Drake May, a lot of people thought. So,
• 36:50
  Speaker 5: I mean, yeah, it's make or break for him, honestly.
• 36:54
  Speaker 5: And he has so much talent, but we'll find out
• 36:56
  Speaker 5: if he's able to kind of overcome that a little bit.
• 36:58
  Speaker 2: Eagles won 24-22 over the Washington Commanders, who were better
• 37:02
  Speaker 2: than I expected. They played really hard. They played really
• 37:05
  Speaker 2: good defense. And if they continue to play that way,
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: and that's a big if, then, yeah, I think that
• 37:11
  Speaker 2: they can be competitive. But I don't think they will.
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: I think that that was their best effort, and they
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: still lost by two. Saquon Barkley had just 83 yards
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: on 15 carries. He was bailed out by Jalen Hurts,
• 37:25
  Speaker 2: who looked really good. in the game yesterday, but as
• 37:28
  Speaker 2: someone that drafted Saquon Barkley and was expecting a big
• 37:32
  Speaker 2: bounce back, he might be done. He might be cooked.
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: I mean, he'll be a good running back, but his
• 37:39
  Speaker 2: days of being elite might be over. He did not
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: look like he had burst. Let's not overreact to week one, Chuck. Okay,
• 37:46
  Speaker 2: thank you. Thank you. I needed that. The Minnesota Vikings
• 37:50
  Speaker 2: outscored the Green Bay Packers 22-0 in the fourth quarter.
• 37:53
  Speaker 2: Jeremiah Love, that's not, Jordan Love, sorry. Jordan Love, 387
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: passing yards in the game, but he had three late turnovers,
• 38:02
  Speaker 2: which led to a lopsided Vikings victory. Kyler Murray left
• 38:06
  Speaker 2: this game very early with a concussion. Carson Wentz had
• 38:09
  Speaker 2: to lead them to the win. And speaking of wins,
• 38:13
  Speaker 2: Clint Kubiak now has one in his head coaching career.
• 38:17
  Speaker 2: against the Miami Dolphins, who I'm not sure are better
• 38:19
  Speaker 2: than the Miami Hurricanes. 27-13, the final score there. Kubiak
• 38:25
  Speaker 2: unleashed Ashton Genting yesterday, 100 rushing yards and two receiving touchdowns.
• 38:31
  Speaker 2: A nice win for Kubiak against what might be the
• 38:34
  Speaker 2: worst team in the league.
• 38:35
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I was going to say maybe we won't draw
• 38:37
  Speaker 5: conclusions on who's going to win the Super Bowl in
• 38:38
  Speaker 5: Week 1, but we can kind of tell who's going
• 38:40
  Speaker 5: to be one of the worst teams in the league,
• 38:42
  Speaker 5: and one of those teams are the Miami Dolphins.
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: They look terrible.
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 38:46
  Speaker 2: Well, lots of wins and tough ones in the opening
• 38:49
  Speaker 2: week of the National Football League. So many we couldn't
• 38:52
  Speaker 2: get them all in in one segment. So we'll spread
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: it out over the course of the show so we
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: can react, have a little bit of a reaction to
• 39:00
  Speaker 2: every single game That was played yesterday. Coming up next
• 39:04
  Speaker 2: on our program, though, we do have to talk about
• 39:06
  Speaker 2: the Seahawks. We've got news about Sam Darnold and what
• 39:09
  Speaker 2: it could mean for the Hawks going forward, plus your
• 39:11
  Speaker 2: headlines on Sports Radio 93.3 KJRFM.
