- 2:47Speaker 2: Fox thirteen.
- 2:49Speaker 3: Greg, my friend, how are you.
- 2:52Speaker 4: Probably better than Max Brosner was doing on Sunday?
- 2:55Speaker 3: Ooh that was ugly? Huh that was ugly.
- 2:58Speaker 4: I felt, you know what, I felt so badly for
- 3:00Speaker 4: the kid because you know, you know, I watched Tate.
- 3:03Speaker 4: You know, I've been doing tape for years, and look
- 3:06Speaker 4: when you watch a young quarterback, and it's so common
- 3:08Speaker 4: with young quarterbacks, and you know, obviously he's probably not
- 3:12Speaker 4: gotten a lot of reps, you know, because they had
- 3:14Speaker 4: McCarthy then they had wins, and you know, my guess
- 3:17Speaker 4: is he's just not gotten a lot of reps. And
- 3:19Speaker 4: you can just see because I've been doing this, you know,
- 3:21Speaker 4: you see it with cam Ward. You still see it
- 3:23Speaker 4: to some degree with cam Ward. You see it with
- 3:25Speaker 4: Sandur Sanders. You know, he just started the game. He
- 3:28Speaker 4: was playing so fast mentally and physically.
- 3:31Speaker 1: You know.
- 3:31Speaker 4: It's and I remember when I started working with Ron
- 3:33Speaker 4: Jaworski years and years ago, and he would say to me,
- 3:36Speaker 4: and it really resonated. And now when I see a
- 3:38Speaker 4: young quarterback, I know exactly what he means. It's a
- 3:41Speaker 4: classic case where he's they see everything, but they don't
- 3:46Speaker 4: really see anything, you know what I mean. It's it's
- 3:48Speaker 4: you can tell they're just there's no clarity whatsoever. It's
- 3:52Speaker 4: just it's he's probably just seeing a lot of movement,
- 3:55Speaker 4: but with no sense of what that movement is really
- 3:57Speaker 4: all about.
- 3:58Speaker 2: Well, he had one year in a Power or five
- 4:01Speaker 2: conference power for a conference school at Minnesota and came
- 4:04Speaker 2: from New Hampshire.
- 4:04Speaker 3: After that.
- 4:05Speaker 2: I did laugh a little bit last week before the
- 4:08Speaker 2: game hearing stuff out of Minnesota, Greg like, well, you know,
- 4:11Speaker 2: there's there's a lot of people in the building wondering
- 4:13Speaker 2: how different are the Viking season would look if Brozman
- 4:15Speaker 2: was a quarterback all year. I mean, they're pumping his
- 4:18Speaker 2: tires up. I get all that, but it's like, no, man,
- 4:20Speaker 2: you Mike McDonald, Mike mcdall took you to class.
- 4:24Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 4:24Speaker 4: I was just gonna say that, you know, And people
- 4:27Speaker 4: have to understand, this is no referendum on Max Brosner
- 4:29Speaker 4: in his whole career. Who knows what's going to happen,
- 4:32Speaker 4: you know, I guess McCarthy is due to play this week.
- 4:34Speaker 4: Then we'll get to Seattle obviously, But when all said
- 4:37Speaker 4: and done, you know, the guy's, you know, a rookie
- 4:41Speaker 4: and he played one year you know, at Power School
- 4:44Speaker 4: and he was in New Hampshire. You know, let the
- 4:47Speaker 4: kid grow a little bit.
- 4:48Speaker 1: You know.
- 4:48Speaker 4: It's not like I said, it's not a referendum on
- 4:50Speaker 4: his career. It's just when I watched these guys, I
- 4:52Speaker 4: can see how they're struggling, you know, you can. I
- 4:55Speaker 4: can just feel it.
- 4:56Speaker 2: Well, Greg Cozelle joining us the Seahawks will see a
- 4:58Speaker 2: guy with a little more experience this week. Kirk Cousins
- 5:01Speaker 2: been around for a day or two, right, Yeah.
- 5:06Speaker 4: And and and it's interesting to see the change in
- 5:08Speaker 4: their offense with Cousins from Penix, There's there's a significant change.
- 5:12Speaker 4: And obviously Mike McDonald and staff will know this. It's
- 5:15Speaker 4: not going to be news. I'm not giving you a scoopy.
- 5:17Speaker 4: And here I'm just telling you what it is. I
- 5:19Speaker 4: thought it was a lot more under center. Yeah, there's
- 5:23Speaker 4: a lot more under center. There's a lot more under
- 5:25Speaker 4: center play action. There's zone run game, which is clearly
- 5:29Speaker 4: the foundation of of what they do with the run.
- 5:32Speaker 4: I think they've I think Jon Robinson has the most
- 5:35Speaker 4: outside zone runs of any back in the league, and
- 5:38Speaker 4: he to me, to me, Jon Robinson is the best
- 5:41Speaker 4: back in the league. I know some well you know
- 5:44Speaker 4: that's a debatable point. Just giving you my opinion based
- 5:47Speaker 4: on my study. But it's a different offense with Kirk
- 5:50Speaker 4: Cousins because he's a totally different quarterback than Michael Pennix.
- 5:55Speaker 2: Just looking at the numbers, Greg, with this team, this
- 5:57Speaker 2: Falcons teams on offense, They're total offense is ranked seventeenth
- 6:01Speaker 2: three hundred and thirty four yards a game. Their rush
- 6:03Speaker 2: offense is one hundred and thirty or at one twenty
- 6:06Speaker 2: three point nine that's ninth in the league. Pass offense
- 6:09Speaker 2: is eighteenth points per game, though just twenty sixth in
- 6:13Speaker 2: the NFL. So I look through those numbers and I
- 6:15Speaker 2: think it goes back. Especially against a team like Seattle,
- 6:19Speaker 2: which by the way, has the number two rush defense
- 6:21Speaker 2: in the NFL and has not allowed one hundred yard
- 6:23Speaker 2: rusher yet this season, I would assume they're gonna Are
- 6:26Speaker 2: they gonna try to force feed Bijon against Mike McDonald's defense.
- 6:29Speaker 4: What are they gonna do, Well, it's a our matter
- 6:32Speaker 4: of force feeding him. I think they're going to believe,
- 6:35Speaker 4: quite frankly, that they have to run the football. They
- 6:39Speaker 4: Kirk Cousins is a drop back passer. You know, it's
- 6:41Speaker 4: play action, it's it's dropped back. He's not gonna make
- 6:45Speaker 4: plays with his legs. He's not a creator. He's not
- 6:47Speaker 4: a playmaker. So you can't go into a game saying,
- 6:50Speaker 4: let's drop him back fifty times. You know, and their
- 6:54Speaker 4: old line has been up and down, you know. Obviously
- 6:57Speaker 4: they're playing with a backup right tackle all season long,
- 6:59Speaker 4: who's been very uneven. Matthews the left tackle as a veteran,
- 7:03Speaker 4: but he's been even at times as well. So yes,
- 7:07Speaker 4: it's not a matter of force feeding Robinson. They're going
- 7:09Speaker 4: to have to be able to have some success running
- 7:13Speaker 4: the ball so they can have enough value. I mean,
- 7:16Speaker 4: you know, and obviously they play two backs, so L's
- 7:18Speaker 4: year is going to get snaps as well. But Robinson
- 7:21Speaker 4: is really the guy. I mean, he's averaging also over
- 7:25Speaker 4: eleven yards a reception, which is remarkable for running back,
- 7:29Speaker 4: and he's got over fifty catches, so he's to me,
- 7:32Speaker 4: he's so critical. And Drake London was just announced as
- 7:35Speaker 4: being out, so they're going to be short at the
- 7:38Speaker 4: wide receiver position. So you know, Robinson to me is
- 7:42Speaker 4: a key player. They'll split him out in this game too.
- 7:44Speaker 2: By the way, do they do anything with both him
- 7:48Speaker 2: and Algier at the same time or is it one
- 7:49Speaker 2: or the other.
- 7:50Speaker 4: They do, they do, and they will in this game
- 7:52Speaker 4: because of the loss of London. So you'll see Robinson
- 7:54Speaker 4: basically play wide receiver on some snaps because he's capable
- 7:57Speaker 4: of it and he's very good at it, and you'll
- 7:59Speaker 4: see Algier in the backfield. That will definitely happen in
- 8:02Speaker 4: this game.
- 8:02Speaker 2: How hard a matchup is that for a defense in
- 8:05Speaker 2: Mike McDonald's defense or is that just Hey, you're going
- 8:07Speaker 2: to see maybe see Nicky Men Warrior or just going
- 8:09Speaker 2: to play don't whatever you're gonna do. I mean, I
- 8:11Speaker 2: think that's an interesting chest match.
- 8:13Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 8:14Speaker 4: Then it depends on whether you're choosing to play Man
- 8:16Speaker 4: or his own. You know, the question is emn worry
- 8:19Speaker 4: if they play Man, I would think the matchup would
- 8:22Speaker 4: be pits the tight end.
- 8:24Speaker 3: Oh okay, but yeah, but you know again.
- 8:26Speaker 4: You don't know that. You know, it's these are the
- 8:28Speaker 4: things that they're working through. They know that London, you
- 8:31Speaker 4: know it's going to be out so not. I'm sure
- 8:34Speaker 4: they prepared for that to some degree even before it
- 8:36Speaker 4: was officially announced today. You know, they these coaches always
- 8:40Speaker 4: have a plan. It's not a matter of oh we
- 8:42Speaker 4: just found something out, let's change everything. That's not going
- 8:44Speaker 4: to happen. They have a plan.
- 8:46Speaker 1: Uh.
- 8:47Speaker 4: But it'll be interesting to see, you know, what they do,
- 8:50Speaker 4: because Robinson will detach from the formation and there's no
- 8:53Speaker 4: question he can run wide receiver routes.
- 8:56Speaker 2: Greg Cosell joining us courtesy of Seattle Cider. The Kirk
- 9:01Speaker 2: Cousins in from Michael Pennix Junior. For if people have
- 9:04Speaker 2: been under a rock or something he's he's done. He's
- 9:06Speaker 2: got the knee injury again. Just a horrible situation for
- 9:09Speaker 2: the former Husky who obviously dealt without a lot before
- 9:12Speaker 2: he got to Washington, was healthy for the last few
- 9:14Speaker 2: years and obviously ends a year unhealthy and they got
- 9:18Speaker 2: they got some issues going into next season. So that's
- 9:20Speaker 2: a long term injury.
- 9:21Speaker 3: We'll see.
- 9:22Speaker 2: Kirk Cousin's been around. We joked about it for a while, Greg,
- 9:24Speaker 2: what do you see from Kirk Cousins twenty twenty five
- 9:27Speaker 2: on tape?
- 9:29Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean he's he's just stylistically and he's the
- 9:32Speaker 4: same guy he's always been. I mean he's he's an
- 9:35Speaker 4: under center, drop back, play action quarterback. That's what he is.
- 9:39Speaker 4: If you can protect him, he can read it out
- 9:41Speaker 4: well and he can look really good. He's always look
- 9:44Speaker 4: Kirk Cousins for years in Minnesota, he put up huge numbers.
- 9:48Speaker 4: I mean, for some reason, he had this bad reputation,
- 9:51Speaker 4: I guess because he never made it to a championship
- 9:53Speaker 4: game or obviously not a super Bowl. But if you
- 9:56Speaker 4: look at what he did four five, six years, I
- 9:58Speaker 4: don't know the exact number of years in Minnesota, but
- 10:00Speaker 4: you could almost book it before the season that he
- 10:02Speaker 4: was going to throw thirty touchdowns and you know, eight
- 10:04Speaker 4: interceptions and you could book it, and he was a
- 10:07Speaker 4: really good player. He'd always have it, which seemed like
- 10:09Speaker 4: two bad games a year, you know, which some quarterbacks do.
- 10:13Speaker 4: But just a really solid player, but a specific kind
- 10:16Speaker 4: of player. Just not quite as gifted as someone like
- 10:20Speaker 4: Jared Goff, but stylistically very similar. You know, drop back,
- 10:23Speaker 4: play action, read it out, make the throws.
- 10:27Speaker 2: You know, that's who he is. He's not going to
- 10:29Speaker 2: be any different. I'm the thing that kind of jumped
- 10:32Speaker 2: out at me a little bit. With the Falcons and
- 10:34Speaker 2: especially sees It, it felt like every time I watched
- 10:36Speaker 2: the Panics play earlier this year, or even with Cousins
- 10:39Speaker 2: and his lack of mobility, they've only given up and
- 10:42Speaker 2: you just talked about the right tackle situation, they've only
- 10:44Speaker 2: given up nineteen sacks the Falcons this year. Yeah, that's crazy,
- 10:47Speaker 2: like I would have thought that number one. I mean,
- 10:49Speaker 2: for example, now both teams have forty plus sacks going
- 10:52Speaker 2: into this game. Sales got forty and Falcons have forty
- 10:55Speaker 2: one sacks made. Yeah, but only nineteen times the Falcons
- 10:58Speaker 2: quarterback's been sacked this year. I see, I figured that
- 11:01Speaker 2: that should be like a field day for sales defense
- 11:03Speaker 2: going against Cousins.
- 11:05Speaker 4: And very often that's a function of the quarterback, you know.
- 11:07Speaker 4: I mean, look, someone a lot smarter than I am,
- 11:10Speaker 4: Tom Brady. You know, when I get to listen to
- 11:12Speaker 4: him when I watch Red Zone on Sunday and hear
- 11:14Speaker 4: him doing a game, the one thing he always talks
- 11:16Speaker 4: about and like I said, he knows a little bit
- 11:18Speaker 4: more than I do. He always says that that sacks
- 11:21Speaker 4: are a function of the quarterback more than the old line.
- 11:24Speaker 4: So I think that's more a function of the quarterback
- 11:26Speaker 4: in many cases. Look, is there all line great in Atlanta? No,
- 11:29Speaker 4: but it's certainly not bad. I mean it's not, you know,
- 11:32Speaker 4: one of the worst O lines in the league anything.
- 11:34Speaker 3: You know.
- 11:34Speaker 4: Matthews, even though he can be up and down, it's
- 11:36Speaker 4: played a long time. He's a solid left tackle. So there,
- 11:41Speaker 4: the O line is fine, you know. And Cousins definitely
- 11:45Speaker 4: has a great feel for how to play the position,
- 11:48Speaker 4: just like any quarterback that's essentially a pocket quarterback. Again,
- 11:52Speaker 4: if you can put them in a lot of long
- 11:53Speaker 4: yardage situations, it limits the play calling for an offense.
- 11:57Speaker 4: You know, people have to understand if you're in third
- 11:59Speaker 4: and nine, there's the offensive coordinator is not choosing from
- 12:03Speaker 4: fifty plays, He's choosing from five or six concepts that
- 12:07Speaker 4: you practiced all week in third and long situations. I mean,
- 12:10Speaker 4: I remember I had a great conversation years ago with
- 12:13Speaker 4: Carson Palmer after he retired, and I remember asking him that,
- 12:17Speaker 4: you know, saying, hey, tell me about what happens on
- 12:20Speaker 4: third down. And he said, Hey, there's five or six concepts.
- 12:22Speaker 4: He says, I know what they are. I know I'm
- 12:24Speaker 4: going to get one of them. It's none of it's
- 12:26Speaker 4: a surprise. You know, you're not. That's the way it works,
- 12:29Speaker 4: you know. I don't know what fans think, Oh, there's
- 12:31Speaker 4: fifty plays to choose from, but they're not. That's not
- 12:34Speaker 4: the way it works, because you've got to practice this stuff.
- 12:36Speaker 4: You can't practice, you know, fifty things during the week,
- 12:39Speaker 4: you know. So it's you know, and Ryan Jeworsky has
- 12:43Speaker 4: he's mentioned, you know, working with him for years, he
- 12:45Speaker 4: would say he knew every time they got into whatever
- 12:48Speaker 4: the situation was, he pretty much knew what the play
- 12:50Speaker 4: call was going to be because that's what you practice.
- 12:53Speaker 2: That exactly makes all the sense of the world. Great
- 12:55Speaker 2: co Sale joining us. All right, let's talk on the
- 12:57Speaker 2: other side of the football. The Seahawks defense, we know
- 12:59Speaker 2: has just been elite this season, and we'll talk about
- 13:02Speaker 2: them and keep going. But the Seahawks offense has been
- 13:04Speaker 2: an interesting dynamic this year. JSN, Jackson Smith and Jigba
- 13:08Speaker 2: having a career year, having a possible still on pace
- 13:12Speaker 2: to get a record setting year in the NFL in
- 13:14Speaker 2: terms of receiving yards. He's got thirteen to thirty six
- 13:18Speaker 2: right now going into this game on eighty two catches,
- 13:20Speaker 2: already just putting up massive numbers. He was held a
- 13:24Speaker 2: little bit in check last week by Minnesota, and the
- 13:26Speaker 2: Brian Flores defense came after Sam Donald in a big,
- 13:30Speaker 2: big way. There's a little concern here. Donald's had a
- 13:34Speaker 2: few games recently where he hasn't put up numbers and
- 13:37Speaker 2: looked a little off swords. What are you seeing from
- 13:39Speaker 2: our quarterback out here?
- 13:40Speaker 4: Well, first of all, you play each game to win
- 13:43Speaker 4: that game. The game they just played was not a
- 13:45Speaker 4: game that required Donald to drop back forty times and
- 13:48Speaker 4: throw for three fifty. But I think there were two
- 13:50Speaker 4: things that you come that I came away with watching
- 13:52Speaker 4: that tape number one. They did have issues, particularly on
- 13:55Speaker 4: third down, with the Vikings pressure, and the Falcons are
- 13:58Speaker 4: a pressure team, so that's just something that they've got
- 14:01Speaker 4: to clean up. Obviously, the pressures are going to be different.
- 14:04Speaker 3: Not every team runs the.
- 14:05Speaker 4: Same pressures, so I'm talking a little more generally, I in,
- 14:08Speaker 4: but there was no question that on third down, you know,
- 14:11Speaker 4: the the Vikings lined up in what we call that
- 14:14Speaker 4: loaded front, where they had three defensive linemen to one
- 14:16Speaker 4: side of the center, and they put the two linebackers,
- 14:19Speaker 4: Cashman and Wilson mugged up on the ball opposite that
- 14:22Speaker 4: loaded front, and you didn't. So they basically have a
- 14:25Speaker 4: six man front. You don't know who's coming, who's not coming,
- 14:28Speaker 4: who's dropping, you know, and they struggled with that. I mean,
- 14:31Speaker 4: there was one time Wilson got in clean through the
- 14:33Speaker 4: A gap and he forced Arnold to run out and
- 14:35Speaker 4: throw it away. You know, obviously that's a mistake. You're
- 14:38Speaker 4: never letting anybody in clean through the A gap. But
- 14:41Speaker 4: the Falcons are a very good blitzing defense and it
- 14:46Speaker 4: while they won't do exactly the same thing, they have
- 14:48Speaker 4: a linebacker Kaden Ellis, who's a very very good pass rusher.
- 14:52Speaker 4: You know, they've got the two young kids, Walker and
- 14:55Speaker 4: Pierce who are sort of developing, who are capable of
- 14:57Speaker 4: winning one on one matchups, so you have to be
- 15:01Speaker 4: at well wherever that Plus they play a lot of
- 15:02Speaker 4: man Now again, we'll see if they do that. That's
- 15:06Speaker 4: been their mo o pretty much all season long. The
- 15:09Speaker 4: other thing that that I really noticed this week and
- 15:11Speaker 4: did a little more research into it, and I'm sure
- 15:14Speaker 4: I don't know if it's been talked about on the
- 15:15Speaker 4: radio during the week, but they've not really integrated Shaheat
- 15:18Speaker 4: into their passing game yet. He's only been targeted eleven
- 15:22Speaker 4: times in four games. I don't know if that's something
- 15:24Speaker 4: that you've talked about throughout the week, but to me,
- 15:26Speaker 4: I mean, that's something that has to start happening well,
- 15:29Speaker 4: because you got it, he's a certain kind of player
- 15:31Speaker 4: and you got to take advantage of what he is.
- 15:33Speaker 2: Yeah, And I was gonna add, honestly, that was the
- 15:35Speaker 2: next thing I was going to ask you, is about
- 15:36Speaker 2: Rashichi Now he was asked Mike McDonald's asked. I was
- 15:39Speaker 2: at that press got his Wednesday press conference about him,
- 15:41Speaker 2: and he's like, hey, you know, we're we're excited about him.
- 15:44Speaker 2: You know, he said all the right things, did my
- 15:46Speaker 2: kind of little coach speak. You know, we're working into
- 15:47Speaker 2: the offense he's created. You know, he made he made
- 15:50Speaker 2: the point while he's creating stuff for other people because
- 15:52Speaker 2: they got to respect the speed. So maybe that opens
- 15:55Speaker 2: something up for somebody else. But you know, four catches
- 15:57Speaker 2: in four games and without Tory Horre and they need
- 16:00Speaker 2: this guy right now. You know, are you seeing a
- 16:03Speaker 2: guy that's that's that's doing the right things on offense
- 16:05Speaker 2: or are they just not finding the football to him?
- 16:07Speaker 3: What's going on?
- 16:08Speaker 4: You know that that's hard for me to know, and
- 16:10Speaker 4: I'm being honest. You know, I get asked that a
- 16:11Speaker 4: lot when a receiver isn't targeted a lot, you know,
- 16:14Speaker 4: like you know when I when I talk to forty
- 16:15Speaker 4: nine ers and they say, what's going on with rookie Piersol?
- 16:17Speaker 4: He's only been taught. You know, I never know why
- 16:20Speaker 4: a guy is not targeted. You know, that's that's a
- 16:23Speaker 4: hard thing to know. But we do know that he's
- 16:26Speaker 4: got tremendous speed and with very few exceptions, you haven't
- 16:32Speaker 4: seen much vertical you know, many vertical routes, so you know,
- 16:35Speaker 4: I just think, to me, again, I'm not in their
- 16:38Speaker 4: meeting rooms. I'm not going to sit here and say
- 16:39Speaker 4: here's what they should or shouldn't do. But I just
- 16:42Speaker 4: found it really interesting, and not in a great way,
- 16:44Speaker 4: that he's only been targeted eleven times in four games
- 16:47Speaker 4: because he has a certain, you know, specific set of skills.
- 16:52Speaker 4: I feel like Liam Neeson when I said that, and
- 16:53Speaker 4: take it if you remember the d I've got a
- 16:56Speaker 4: certain set of skills. Yeah, so you know he's got
- 16:59Speaker 4: a cert and seat of skills that you'd like to
- 17:01Speaker 4: at least take advantage of. Now, does that mean you're
- 17:04Speaker 4: going to throw eight deep balls a game. No, but
- 17:07Speaker 4: you know he can. He's got terrifying speed, and you know,
- 17:11Speaker 4: I think you want to at least, you know, deploy
- 17:15Speaker 4: that somewhere in the course of the game.
- 17:17Speaker 2: Was it just the game plan last week, not needing
- 17:19Speaker 2: to really do anything and and you know the defense
- 17:22Speaker 2: taking care of business and the pressure that Darnold was under,
- 17:25Speaker 2: or what do you chalk up to the fact that
- 17:28Speaker 2: last week JSN just didn't didn't put the numbers he
- 17:31Speaker 2: normally does.
- 17:32Speaker 4: I think I think it was one of those games
- 17:34Speaker 4: where it became evident. That two things became evident. Number one,
- 17:38Speaker 4: that the Vikings were not really going to score very
- 17:40Speaker 4: much and if anything, but they certainly weren't going to
- 17:43Speaker 4: score very much. And number two, the pressure element was
- 17:46Speaker 4: making it a little difficult for the Seahawks to deal with.
- 17:49Speaker 4: It was one of those games. So I think the
- 17:51Speaker 4: fielding was the way the game is playing out. We
- 17:54Speaker 4: don't need to drop back, We don't need to force
- 17:56Speaker 4: the issue. We don't need to start, you know, driving
- 17:59Speaker 4: the ball down the field and taking unnecessary risks in
- 18:03Speaker 4: our past game. You know, don't forget there's always games
- 18:06Speaker 4: during a season ian where the goals just to win
- 18:08Speaker 4: the game, you know, And and you know, you don't
- 18:11Speaker 4: want to overanalyze. The coaches will analyze everything. That's their job,
- 18:15Speaker 4: but you don't. For you and I talking, we don't
- 18:17Speaker 4: want to make this game against Minnesota, which by the way,
- 18:20Speaker 4: they won. See that's the thing they did win, you know,
- 18:23Speaker 4: So you don't want to make it seem like this
- 18:25Speaker 4: is who they are. This is the way that game
- 18:27Speaker 4: played out, and they played that game the way it
- 18:30Speaker 4: needed to be played in order to win.
- 18:32Speaker 2: I'm gonna wrap it up with this great coach sail
- 18:34Speaker 2: brought to by Sales sider. I want to bring it up.
- 18:35Speaker 2: I'm gonna go back to the defense for a second.
- 18:37Speaker 2: I'm gonna bring up two guys names. Ernest Jones, the
- 18:40Speaker 2: fourth was the NFC Defensive Player of the Week, had
- 18:43Speaker 2: the two interceptions, becueing the pick six. He doesn't do
- 18:46Speaker 2: that without the play of the front guys, and that
- 18:49Speaker 2: would include DeMarcus Lawrence.
- 18:51Speaker 4: And I'm just trying to have an unbelievable season.
- 18:53Speaker 2: Yeah, and I'm just trying to think back when he
- 18:55Speaker 2: was brought here to Seattle. I know we discussed him.
- 18:57Speaker 2: I don't even know how we discussed him, but I
- 18:58Speaker 2: mean it was like he's a big name because he's
- 19:00Speaker 2: a cowboy and all that, but we're all kind of
- 19:02Speaker 2: wondering what does he have left in the tank. If
- 19:05Speaker 2: you can just touch in on what jumps out of
- 19:07Speaker 2: you on tape between Lawrence and Jones.
- 19:10Speaker 4: Can I just tell you about two plays that really
- 19:12Speaker 4: stood out to me in the game. Yeah, one is Lawrence.
- 19:14Speaker 4: One is Witherspoon, I mean Jones Jones. I thought Jones
- 19:18Speaker 4: had a phenomenal game, particularly in the run game. I
- 19:21Speaker 4: thought he was physical, he was competitive. I mean he
- 19:24Speaker 4: was quick to key and diagnose and trigger I mean
- 19:27Speaker 4: physical with stack and shed. He was the second level
- 19:30Speaker 4: tone setter for the defense. I thought he was great,
- 19:32Speaker 4: But I don't know if you remember these plays. Witherspoon,
- 19:35Speaker 4: did you see him run down Hockinson on that thirteen
- 19:38Speaker 4: yard screen pass?
- 19:39Speaker 3: Yep.
- 19:39Speaker 4: I mean he came from the other side of the
- 19:42Speaker 4: field and he ran him down. And to me, that
- 19:45Speaker 4: probably is a great snapshot of who Witherspoon is. The
- 19:49Speaker 4: guy is super competitive, he never gives up. He's a
- 19:52Speaker 4: swagger player. I mean that place really stood out to me.
- 19:56Speaker 4: And then there was another play, the the fumble by
- 20:01Speaker 4: Aaron Jones. This is a Lawrence play that the Lawrence
- 20:03Speaker 4: desire and pursuit to cause the Jones fumble that was
- 20:06Speaker 4: recovered by Olcada in the third quarter. Do you remember
- 20:09Speaker 4: that play? I mean that was Lawrence. I mean this
- 20:12Speaker 4: team on defense, because obviously defense is tactical. We know that,
- 20:16Speaker 4: you know it's but you're seeing a team playing with
- 20:19Speaker 4: such high level intensity and competitiveness on the defensive side
- 20:22Speaker 4: of the ball. They're fun to watch.
- 20:24Speaker 2: It's good stuff all the way around, all right. Greg
- 20:26Speaker 2: Cosell ESPN Matchup Show senior producer there at NFL Films

- 23:54Speaker 5: I am super excited and I'm very grateful. And it
- 23:57Speaker 5: just shows goes to show you that when you when
- 24:00Speaker 5: you write about the swimming exploits of one Eric Gordon
- 24:03Speaker 5: as I did when he was at Bellevue High School,
- 24:05Speaker 5: like you never know the relationship that's going to develop
- 24:08Speaker 5: him in twenty twenty six years later, he's he's he's
- 24:12Speaker 5: finding a way to support some of my work. And
- 24:14Speaker 5: I'm really really excited to be back.
- 24:15Speaker 2: I'm excited to have you back as well, you know
- 24:17Speaker 2: who else is back? Segue segue alert, professional segue alert.
- 24:22Speaker 3: Who else is back?
- 24:23Speaker 7: That was really good.
- 24:24Speaker 3: Danny's favorite coach, Jed Fish, looks like he's back. Let's go,
- 24:30Speaker 3: let's go, let's go.
- 24:32Speaker 6: Uh.
- 24:33Speaker 5: Nothing much in the way of any suspense on that one.
- 24:36Speaker 8: It was kind of like he was mentioned and.
- 24:38Speaker 5: Then all of a sudden it happened, and you just
- 24:40Speaker 5: didn't really hear his name. And I'm not entirely sure
- 24:43Speaker 5: what to make of it.
- 24:45Speaker 2: Well, you know, I look, you look around, right, and
- 24:50Speaker 2: he hasn't accomplished anything at Washington yet. Doesn't mean he won't,
- 24:55Speaker 2: but he hasn't. You know, he hasn't taken a First
- 24:58Speaker 2: of all, he hasn't take I did law. I had
- 25:00Speaker 2: to hear that, Danny. I did laugh, and he even
- 25:02Speaker 2: pumped it up to day O. You only brought in
- 25:04Speaker 2: all these new players, blah blah blah. Every new coach
- 25:06Speaker 2: in the country does that. And you didn't inherit a
- 25:08Speaker 2: program that was downtrodden. You inherited a program that was
- 25:12Speaker 2: I believe the runner up for the National Championship. I
- 25:14Speaker 2: could be wrong, maybe I miss maybe I misread that
- 25:17Speaker 2: game against Michigan. What it meant, but dude, like, yes,
- 25:20Speaker 2: you were in a pretty good situation. Had a great
- 25:23Speaker 2: recruiting class though this year struggled on the road in
- 25:25Speaker 2: the Big ten, so I'm thinking his stock wasn't all
- 25:28Speaker 2: that high. But if I was a Husky fan, Danny,
- 25:31Speaker 2: I'd be like, yeah, I'm good with him coming back.
- 25:33Speaker 2: He's got good players, the quarterback probably stays, et cetera.
- 25:36Speaker 2: I like the trajectory of the program. I think it's
- 25:39Speaker 2: a good thing. If you're a Husky.
- 25:40Speaker 5: Fan, Absolutely it's a good thing. And I chucked myself
- 25:44Speaker 5: up as one of the people who really wanted him
- 25:46Speaker 5: to come back. I'm not sure if I wanted him
- 25:49Speaker 5: to come back so badly that I was willing or
- 25:52Speaker 5: wanted Washington to break the bank if it came to
- 25:55Speaker 5: a bidding war. But I absolutely wanted him back because
- 25:59Speaker 5: I think that next year with this quarterback could be
- 26:02Speaker 5: really special. I think what's interesting to think about in
- 26:07Speaker 5: it From Fish's perspective, He's now positioned like would he
- 26:12Speaker 5: want an extension? And the easy answer is, but yeah,
- 26:15Speaker 5: you always want to raise. He would always want to raise.
- 26:18Speaker 5: But from his perspective, he might also look at it like, hey,
- 26:23Speaker 5: I'm poised to go to the playoff next year like
- 26:25Speaker 5: we and I definitely believe Washington has a chance to
- 26:28Speaker 5: do that. They played a ton of true freshmen this year.
- 26:32Speaker 5: I think they've got some really good Rainy Sale as
- 26:36Speaker 5: well as as as Robinson, as well as Dillard Allen.
- 26:39Speaker 5: On the defense, they they played some true freshmen that
- 26:41Speaker 5: really look good. The offense I think is going to
- 26:45Speaker 5: be even better next year. It needs to be better
- 26:47Speaker 5: against premier competition. If you're Jed do you do you
- 26:50Speaker 5: look at it and say, hey, I'm I'm okay sticking
- 26:52Speaker 5: with what I've got, and then if this pops like
- 26:54Speaker 5: it could pop next year, it's my contract is not
- 26:59Speaker 5: going to be a huge impediment that there's not going
- 27:01Speaker 5: to be some sort of buyout now. The reality is
- 27:04Speaker 5: in the way college football works, is that even if
- 27:06Speaker 5: he were to sign an extension right now, it doesn't
- 27:09Speaker 5: rule out the chance of something happening in a year
- 27:12Speaker 5: from now. It's really year to year arrangements at this point.
- 27:14Speaker 5: But it is a very interesting sort of situation. And
- 27:17Speaker 5: if you're someone who does believe that Jedfish is the
- 27:21Speaker 5: absolute best long term guy for this program, you're really
- 27:24Speaker 5: hoping that they do an extension right now, because a
- 27:26Speaker 5: year from now he might have maybe not debor like leverage,
- 27:30Speaker 5: but he might have a ton of leverage and get
- 27:33Speaker 5: a lot of interest from bigger program.
- 27:35Speaker 2: You know, Danny and Daniel Neil joining us by to
- 27:37Speaker 2: my Norfolk sailing systems.
- 27:38Speaker 3: I think to me it.
- 27:39Speaker 2: Kind of feels like a win win for both sides,
- 27:42Speaker 2: though right now in the sense that you dubbed didn't
- 27:44Speaker 2: have to pay him more. But like you said, his
- 27:48Speaker 2: stock is It's not like he's going to go to
- 27:50Speaker 2: the poorhouse anytime soon, and his stock probably will go
- 27:53Speaker 2: up next year, you would assume, because there should be
- 27:56Speaker 2: an upwards trajectory for the program.
- 27:58Speaker 3: Kind of win win. I also like the.
- 28:00Speaker 2: Fact that I don't know who the guy is, whoever
- 28:04Speaker 2: the athletic director is at Washington.
- 28:06Speaker 3: His name escapes me, but that guy it does. I
- 28:12Speaker 3: don't know. Maybe I'll go ask.
- 28:14Speaker 8: Who shall be named?
- 28:16Speaker 2: I'll go ask, I'll go I'll go out. Can you
- 28:19Speaker 2: get me a find do with some fact checking on
- 28:21Speaker 2: the I'll ask purple.
- 28:22Speaker 7: Ship's two syllables first and last.
- 28:24Speaker 2: But I mean, the normal knee jerk reaction across the
- 28:27Speaker 2: country is any coach that that you know, that looks
- 28:31Speaker 2: and glances at the other pretty girl, the other pretty school,
- 28:33Speaker 2: that athletic director immediately comes running into their office with
- 28:37Speaker 2: a contract extension, right, And so they didn't do that,
- 28:39Speaker 2: they didn't put themselves in that position. So kind of
- 28:41Speaker 2: a win win all the way around. We'll see, uh,
- 28:43Speaker 2: and then good luck in whatever bowl game. Probably, I
- 28:46Speaker 2: think Holiday bol right, I.
- 28:48Speaker 5: Think it's going to be l able.
- 28:49Speaker 3: We'll see.
- 28:53Speaker 5: We're not going to have to listen to them talk
- 28:55Speaker 5: about the value of extra practice because I think that gets.
- 28:58Speaker 2: Like that's next, It's next, sent It's next Saturday, Like
- 29:03Speaker 2: you're you're in it.
- 29:04Speaker 8: Man.
- 29:05Speaker 3: Well, I'll tell you this.
- 29:07Speaker 2: The best thing about the LA Bowl for Washington and
- 29:10Speaker 2: for Washington fans, I can tell you guys right now,
- 29:11Speaker 2: it's no longer the Jimmy Kimble bole because when it
- 29:14Speaker 2: was that and Wazoo played in it, it was the worst.
- 29:17Speaker 2: It was the worst experience of my football viewing life.
- 29:19Speaker 3: It was.
- 29:20Speaker 2: It was the worst worst thing I've ever been a
- 29:23Speaker 2: part like watching that game, listening to him make fun
- 29:27Speaker 2: of everything in the game and all this. I'm like, dude,
- 29:29Speaker 2: you like, like I don't know maybe these kids are
- 29:32Speaker 2: working their ass off. They didn't tap out, they're playing
- 29:35Speaker 2: this game. How about you show some respect, you tool,
- 29:37Speaker 2: like just you know, it just was and you're not funny,
- 29:40Speaker 2: Like you know, when you're not funny, then just stop it.
- 29:43Speaker 2: So I think he's gone from that, which is good
- 29:46Speaker 2: for you guys. So if you play in that and
- 29:47Speaker 2: then you're done, that's good where you go. Yeah, you
- 29:49Speaker 2: do want to worry about the extra pre you get
- 29:50Speaker 2: five extra practices.
- 29:52Speaker 3: Enjoy. Thanks for coming.
- 29:53Speaker 2: So hey, let's talk see you ext real quick before
- 29:56Speaker 2: you before you head out. You wrote about it. I
- 29:58Speaker 2: think it's a great point. The is theirs, big big
- 30:01Speaker 2: shout out to Bryce and David Canalis and the Carolina
- 30:05Speaker 2: Panthers on it's right there in front of them.
- 30:06Speaker 5: Now, that was a surprising a result. And maybe I
- 30:11Speaker 5: didn't take Carolina seriously enough, or maybe I just overestimated
- 30:16Speaker 5: the Rams, but I mean the Panthers, I mean they've
- 30:21Speaker 5: knocked Stafford around and he'd been playing as efficiently and
- 30:25Speaker 5: as dangerously as any quarterback in the league. And yeah,
- 30:28Speaker 5: it's all laid out in front of the Seahawks. It's
- 30:31Speaker 5: a weird year in the NFL. You don't have their
- 30:34Speaker 5: right now. The two top seeds are two teams I
- 30:37Speaker 5: don't think anybody really takes seriously. No, Chicago is a
- 30:42Speaker 5: they're an underdog this week, and Denver I think right
- 30:46Speaker 5: now when I looked ahead, they're an underdog when they're scheduled.
- 30:49Speaker 5: Maybe a home underdog in week fifteen. Right now against
- 30:52Speaker 5: Green Bay. It's a really strange year where nobody really
- 30:55Speaker 5: takes the top all that seriously. And look, the Seahawks
- 30:59Speaker 5: got a defense, and they that that defensive improvement has continued.
- 31:04Speaker 5: They've got as good a shot as anybody.
- 31:05Speaker 2: Well, at some point Caleb Williams gonna have to be
- 31:07Speaker 2: accurate and throw a ball, you know. I mean, I'm
- 31:10Speaker 2: gonna try to channel my inter humill if I get
- 31:12Speaker 2: this right, throw the ball to the right person with
- 31:16Speaker 2: accuracy on time. Okay, those three things, that's those are
- 31:20Speaker 2: the key elements to quarterbacking. That is courtesy of my
- 31:23Speaker 2: friend Hugh Millen. I don't know if Caleb Williams does
- 31:27Speaker 2: two of those three things on any on an even
- 31:29Speaker 2: given throw, much less all three. So at some point
- 31:32Speaker 2: that's going to happen. But yeah, he can't argue with
- 31:34Speaker 2: where they're at right now the Bears. But I'm with you,
- 31:36Speaker 2: I just wish the Niners would go away. Like, I
- 31:39Speaker 2: don't know what this is. This is like you live
- 31:42Speaker 2: in the land of cockroaches?
- 31:43Speaker 3: Is that?
- 31:43Speaker 2: Are they just the cockroach in the NFL like like
- 31:46Speaker 2: you guys have in New York or rats, they just multiply.
- 31:49Speaker 3: They don't go they don't go away.
- 31:51Speaker 5: Yes, However, here's the one thing is that the cockroach
- 31:55Speaker 5: that is the forty nine ers is kind of getting
- 31:57Speaker 5: cocky right now, and I'm starting to hear a little
- 32:00Speaker 5: little bit of the Kyle Shanahan should be a Coach
- 32:02Speaker 5: of the Year. They've withstood this wave of injuries and everything.
- 32:06Speaker 5: It's like, yeah, we don't. I don't know if you're
- 32:08Speaker 5: that good. And really you got very fortunate to win
- 32:12Speaker 5: one of those two games against against the Rams, and
- 32:17Speaker 5: if it comes down to a game against the Seahawks,
- 32:19Speaker 5: I don't care that that game's down there. I think
- 32:22Speaker 5: I think Seattle is a whole different cut of meat
- 32:24Speaker 5: at this point. I look, I think that they're in
- 32:27Speaker 5: the right spot where they've now gotten a little bit
- 32:30Speaker 5: cocky and maybe they're primed to absolutely catch an upper
- 32:33Speaker 5: cut right on the chin.
- 32:34Speaker 2: Would that then be more like the rats that you
- 32:36Speaker 2: were telling me about when the garbage was left in
- 32:38Speaker 2: the street. They kind of walk around like they run
- 32:40Speaker 2: the show, and then all of a sudden, you know,
- 32:42Speaker 2: there's some poison laid out and they're no longer with us.
- 32:45Speaker 5: There's three types of rats here in New York. There
- 32:47Speaker 5: are the ones that scurry away and show the proper
- 32:49Speaker 5: difference to humans. Those you can totally coexist with. Then
- 32:53Speaker 5: there are the slow rats.
- 32:55Speaker 1: Those are the sick.
- 32:56Speaker 5: Ones, and perhaps you need to be the most worried
- 32:59Speaker 5: because you cannot end anticipate anything that they're going to do.
- 33:02Speaker 5: And then the third are the imperious and serious rats.
- 33:06Speaker 5: These are the ones that kill pigeons. These are the
- 33:08Speaker 5: ones that will come and take food directly off of
- 33:10Speaker 5: your plate.
- 33:11Speaker 2: You need free.
- 33:12Speaker 7: I can't confirm.
- 33:13Speaker 5: I can confirm, Oh god, those are the ones that
- 33:17Speaker 5: should be more of you. They are more akin to
- 33:19Speaker 5: a Bobcat than an actual rat. And those those I
- 33:23Speaker 5: actually run.
- 33:24Speaker 3: From, which are the forty nine ers.
- 33:27Speaker 5: The forty nine ers I think are the sick grab
- 33:31Speaker 5: That's that's what I think they are, because I think
- 33:34Speaker 5: that they're kind of just wandering around. They don't really
- 33:36Speaker 5: know what to do. They're dangerous, you can't really trust them.
- 33:39Speaker 5: But I think ultimately they're not going to be a spearsome.
- 33:41Speaker 5: They're not the Rams I think are the Bobcat rats
- 33:44Speaker 5: I think I think I think the Rams, the Rams
- 33:46Speaker 5: are worthy of our respect. Forty nine ers, you just
- 33:49Speaker 5: need to kind of steer clear of and don't let
- 33:51Speaker 5: them bite you.
- 33:52Speaker 2: That's what people made pellet guns for, or BB guns
- 33:55Speaker 2: for those.
- 33:58Speaker 3: Those things. That's what they four.
- 34:01Speaker 2: Of course, we lived out I say all that we're
- 34:03Speaker 2: living down We go to work here on inter Bay,
- 34:05Speaker 2: and Interbey's got the biggest rats outside of New York
- 34:07Speaker 2: City in America. So it's like you'll see him wandering
- 34:11Speaker 2: through the garage every now and then downstairs, and you're like,
- 34:14Speaker 2: is that a coyote?
- 34:15Speaker 3: What is that?
- 34:16Speaker 1: Oh?
- 34:16Speaker 3: No, it's a rat.
- 34:17Speaker 5: I know We've got to go. This single most amazing
- 34:21Speaker 5: thing that I have ever seen another human being do
- 34:24Speaker 5: was one of my college roommates who shortly after we
- 34:27Speaker 5: graduated from the University of Washington. We were living in Wedgewood,
- 34:30Speaker 5: which if anybody knows that part of the city, it
- 34:33Speaker 5: kind of butts up against what's called Thornton woodshed, which
- 34:35Speaker 5: is a creek. It's right there kind of by Nathan Hale.
- 34:38Speaker 5: And I watched my roommate, who was an avid hunter,
- 34:42Speaker 5: perch himself on a coffee table in our living room
- 34:45Speaker 5: with the door cracked four inches and shoot an arrow
- 34:50Speaker 5: with his compound bow and shishka bob a rat that
- 34:54Speaker 5: had come up to eat food underneath our deck and
- 34:58Speaker 5: left it there for three weeks to send a message
- 35:02Speaker 5: to the other rats.
- 35:03Speaker 3: Right, I want to come back.
- 35:04Speaker 9: Message sense, message sense sometimes listen, sometimes those things need
- 35:12Speaker 9: to happen. It's like I don't know, like you know,
- 35:15Speaker 9: taking out cartel boats with airstrikes sometimes sometimes sometimes sometimes
- 35:21Speaker 9: you're a victim of who you are.
- 35:22Speaker 5: Right, I am so close to saying things that might
- 35:26Speaker 5: Ruin written that Eric Gordon and Northwest Handling Systems would
- 35:30Speaker 5: not want to be associated with. So I'm just going
- 35:32Speaker 5: to pipe down and say, my friend from college can
- 35:34Speaker 5: come to New York and kill all the rats you want.
- 35:36Speaker 3: I love it. You're in the basketball. Talk to you soon.
- 35:38Speaker 3: By the way, Dani a postery how can people subscribe?
- 35:41Speaker 5: Go to Danny O'Neil dot com. And currently I am

- 35:54Speaker 5: but I think, oh.

- 35:59Speaker 2: the Duck fan We are not.
- 36:00Speaker 5: We are not. They are the Beverly Hill Phillies of
- 36:02Speaker 5: college football. We are smug and annoying like Tuski fans
- 36:07Speaker 5: like I recognize that that we are smug and annoying
- 36:10Speaker 5: between them, Ducks are the Beverly Hill college football.

- 38:29Speaker 2: Sarah Spain. Yes, she heard every day the promos.
- 38:34Speaker 3: Have we figured out? Are we the only show that
- 38:36Speaker 3: her promo plays on?
- 38:37Speaker 7: It's a rotation?
- 38:38Speaker 3: But no, it's every day, we have it every day.
- 38:41Speaker 6: No, but I mean the iHeart adds are a rotation
- 38:45Speaker 6: and ours is consistently.
- 38:49Speaker 7: Yes, that is correct.
- 38:54Speaker 2: Yeah, so she took a shot at the Seattle Times.
- 38:58Speaker 2: They didn't have the Torrent story up on the front
- 39:01Speaker 2: cover of.
- 39:01Speaker 7: The sort copy. Editor made a mistake.
- 39:05Speaker 6: They wrote the Sirens one instead of the Torrent And okay,
- 39:09Speaker 6: here's the thing.
- 39:10Speaker 7: It wasn't above the fold.
- 39:12Speaker 2: Yes, it's still on the front page of the hard
- 39:18Speaker 2: copy for women's hockey. And yeah, they had eight thousand
- 39:22Speaker 2: people there, which is awesome. I think it's great. I
- 39:28Speaker 2: don't think I need somebody who has absolutely zero listen.
- 39:31Speaker 2: I'm not liking to defend the Seattle Times, but as
- 39:34Speaker 2: our buddy Alexakita pointed out, they do probably more coverage
- 39:37Speaker 2: of women's sports than any major newspaper in the country.
- 39:40Speaker 2: The Storm get I think more coverage than they frankly
- 39:43Speaker 2: deserve based on readership and numbers and true attendants and
- 39:48Speaker 2: things like that.
- 39:48Speaker 3: The thing with the Torrent is there a little bit.
- 39:50Speaker 2: More mainstream, I'll say, in terms of their audience than
- 39:55Speaker 2: say the Storm are. It's new and it's exciting. It's
- 40:00Speaker 2: also an Olympic year. You're gonna see Olympic women's hockey
- 40:02Speaker 2: in February. There will be plenty of that in the Times.
- 40:06Speaker 2: But the fact that they had it there on the
- 40:07Speaker 2: front page. Relax, lady.
- 40:11Speaker 3: Listen, hating all things men or not women.
- 40:16Speaker 2: Or not women, and making everything an agenda as she does,
- 40:21Speaker 2: everything's an indictment on well, they must not like women's sports.
- 40:26Speaker 2: You don't understand our market. This is about as pro
- 40:30Speaker 2: loving when I say pro, not professional, it's about as
- 40:34Speaker 2: pro women's sports a market as you're gonna find. Yes,
- 40:37Speaker 2: the Rain do well, the Storm do well. The torn
- 40:40Speaker 2: I had great success early on.
- 40:42Speaker 3: They're new. Relax, God, she just drives me insane.
- 40:47Speaker 1: Man.
- 40:47Speaker 3: I hate having that voice on during when I'm on
- 40:52Speaker 3: the air.
- 40:52Speaker 6: I just figure out when an agenda is necessary before
- 40:56Speaker 6: just creating one.
- 40:57Speaker 7: Because you've got shenta.
- 40:58Speaker 3: Screen trick, right, she's getting destructed.
- 41:01Speaker 6: And I'm a woman in a male dominated I played.
- 41:06Speaker 6: I just I think it makes women's sports look bad.
- 41:09Speaker 6: If you're using that as some torch, you know, maybe
- 41:12Speaker 6: talk to people in the market, maybe figure it out.
- 41:16Speaker 2: Not everything that is placed with or on a you know,
- 41:21Speaker 2: in a newspaper or a shot whatever. Not everything has
- 41:24Speaker 2: to be an indictment. No, not everything has to be. Hey,
- 41:28Speaker 2: they're anti women and women's sports.
- 41:30Speaker 3: No, that is.
- 41:31Speaker 7: They were on the front page of the hard copy.
- 41:34Speaker 3: You know, weird.
- 41:35Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know how people how many people
- 41:36Speaker 2: even pick up a hard copy anymore? If you if
- 41:39Speaker 2: you went to the front page of the Sale Times
- 41:41Speaker 2: dot com, it was front.
- 41:42Speaker 3: And center, yes, right there, oh yeah, with a.
- 41:44Speaker 2: Picture and everything on the on the web that day,
- 41:46Speaker 2: which is where more people consume it anymore. Sarah, you

- 45:54Speaker 8: a UW commit, Elijah Durr. The cornerback. The quarterback Mike
- 45:59Speaker 8: at Cordero as a former student of mine who is
- 46:01Speaker 8: just not only a talented athlete, but just a quality
- 46:05Speaker 8: human being that very much represents our school very well.
- 46:08Speaker 8: My favorite player ian from a scouting perspective, Number three
- 46:12Speaker 8: Felix Diaz. He's undersized, but the kid plays the game
- 46:16Speaker 8: kind of like a Devin Witherspoon of the Seahawks and
- 46:19Speaker 8: just incredibly instinctive. Is much more of a hitter and
- 46:22Speaker 8: a playmaker than his dominative size might allow people to suspect.
- 46:27Speaker 8: So again, I'm just bursting with pride over what the
- 46:30Speaker 8: accomplishments of these what these men have done on the
- 46:33Speaker 8: field so far, on and off the field, and certainly
- 46:36Speaker 8: excited about what they might be able to do tonight
- 46:39Speaker 8: seven o'clock at Husky Stadium.
- 46:40Speaker 2: And again we'll have that game forty nine to fifty
- 46:42Speaker 2: on AML on the iHeartRadio app, as well exclusive coverage
- 46:45Speaker 2: of the state championship weekend right here in KJR. All right,
- 46:48Speaker 2: championship weekend in college football. Because we always tend to
- 46:51Speaker 2: run out of time, we'll just start with the kind
- 46:53Speaker 2: of the marquee games. Will just work our way down
- 46:55Speaker 2: and there's no more marquee game, although it's one of
- 46:57Speaker 2: the later games of the day, five o'clock on Saturday.
- 47:00Speaker 2: Number one Ohio State, number two Indiana, and maybe a
- 47:04Speaker 2: couple of your top players eligible for the draft.
- 47:06Speaker 3: Is that right?
- 47:08Speaker 8: Oh? No question? I mean number one, number two players
- 47:10Speaker 8: in the draft. In my opinion, Arbell rees that outside
- 47:13Speaker 8: linebacker edge rusher for Ohio State. I think he is
- 47:18Speaker 8: probably the odds on favorite to go number one overall
- 47:22Speaker 8: if the draft was held right now. The Tennessee Titans,
- 47:25Speaker 8: the only team with only one win, you know, they
- 47:28Speaker 8: would have the right to that selection. And of course
- 47:31Speaker 8: they made the move to bring in the quarterback cam
- 47:34Speaker 8: Ward a year ago. They're not going to be taking
- 47:36Speaker 8: another quarterback at number one. So Rbell revees six forty
- 47:40Speaker 8: threey pounder. To me, he reminds me a little bit
- 47:42Speaker 8: of Michael Parsons and that he is a guy that
- 47:45Speaker 8: played a lot of his college ball at the off
- 47:47Speaker 8: ball linebacker spot. But in the NFL, to justify a
- 47:50Speaker 8: selection that high, you got to have the real twitch
- 47:53Speaker 8: off the edge. He certainly has that. You know, when
- 47:56Speaker 8: the Huskies played Ohio State, one of the reasons Demaral
- 48:00Speaker 8: Williams wasn't able to have as much success as because
- 48:03Speaker 8: Ohio State had two speedy linebackers they were able to
- 48:06Speaker 8: kind of pen him in the pocket. RDL. Reese was
- 48:08Speaker 8: the guy who played that spy role. So again, absolutely
- 48:13Speaker 8: dynamic talent, Caleb Downs with being the other player. We
- 48:16Speaker 8: talked a lot about the you know, the two time
- 48:19Speaker 8: All American, all his success that he had Alabama now
- 48:22Speaker 8: to Ohio State as well. It's rare ian that you
- 48:25Speaker 8: see a safety who is legitimately worthy of top five consideration.
- 48:29Speaker 8: In this guy's numbers as far as statistics don't just
- 48:31Speaker 8: don't pop off the screen, but just he impacts the
- 48:35Speaker 8: game in so many ways as a hitter, his instincts
- 48:38Speaker 8: and coverage. He is a dynamic punt returner who can
- 48:41Speaker 8: take it back to the house. In my opinion, he
- 48:44Speaker 8: is the safest player in this draft class. Whether they
- 48:48Speaker 8: will both wind up going to top five remains to
- 48:50Speaker 8: be seen. Of course, that's rare air for any program,
- 48:53Speaker 8: especially you know in today's era it's all about offense.
- 48:56Speaker 8: But at the same time, I do think that these
- 48:58Speaker 8: are easily two of the best players is on the
- 49:00Speaker 8: football field, and that's saying a lot considered talking about
- 49:02Speaker 8: Ohio State team that arguably the two best players are
- 49:05Speaker 8: two true sophomores, the quarterback Julian sand and of course
- 49:09Speaker 8: the wide receiver Jeremiah Smith. So they're not eligible for
- 49:12Speaker 8: this year's draft class. But Ohio State is the reigned
- 49:16Speaker 8: champions for a reason, number number one ranked for a reason.
- 49:20Speaker 8: But Indiana, by the way, happens to have arguably the
- 49:23Speaker 8: best quarterback in the country and Fernando Mendoza, and they
- 49:26Speaker 8: have a host of other draft eligible and draft worthy
- 49:30Speaker 8: prospects of their own.
- 49:31Speaker 2: Ray Or you know, when you mentioned that Caleb Downs
- 49:34Speaker 2: is the safest pick in the draft, uh, you know,
- 49:37Speaker 2: you know who my mind immediately goes to. And you
- 49:39Speaker 2: and I covered that draft. You know, you know what
- 49:41Speaker 2: I'm talking about. I do, because Hello, Aaron Curry, come
- 49:45Speaker 2: on down exactly. But that's not the case. This guy's
- 49:51Speaker 2: a true playmaker, right.
- 49:53Speaker 8: He really is. And Aaron Curry, you know, had every
- 49:56Speaker 8: uh you know, he certainly was a very effective player
- 50:00Speaker 8: at the collegiate level. There's a lot of reasons why
- 50:02Speaker 8: he didn't duplicate that success, you know, in the NFL.
- 50:06Speaker 8: But I think that the biggest thing is just the
- 50:08Speaker 8: level of competition that he would face. And in wake Forest,
- 50:11Speaker 8: you know, it was a special year for them. They
- 50:13Speaker 8: wound up having three or four defensive players that were
- 50:15Speaker 8: drafted that year. None of them wound up turning out
- 50:18Speaker 8: to be great players. Whereas a Caleb Downs, the fact
- 50:21Speaker 8: that he was a dominant player in the SEC at Alabama,
- 50:24Speaker 8: goes to the Big Canada Ohio State and is also
- 50:27Speaker 8: a dominant player in the last two seasons as well. Again,
- 50:30Speaker 8: I feel much stronger in my commitment to the idea
- 50:33Speaker 8: that Calen Downs is the safest player in the class
- 50:36Speaker 8: of twenty twenty six. It is going to be an
- 50:37Speaker 8: NFL superstar.
- 50:39Speaker 2: Fernando Mendez, the quarterback you mentioned from Indiana transfer from
- 50:43Speaker 2: cal probably me the first quarterback pick he could have
- 50:47Speaker 2: Heisman Trophy is still wid I mean it's wide open.
- 50:49Speaker 3: The voting started today, goes through I think Monday.
- 50:52Speaker 2: We have until vote to Monday to vote Fernando Mendez
- 50:55Speaker 2: that could have a Heisman moment this weekend. A win
- 50:57Speaker 2: a Rowhouse State would probably put him right there as
- 51:00Speaker 2: far as a lot of the voters across the country.
- 51:01Speaker 2: What kind of separates Mendoza from other quarterbacks around the country.
- 51:06Speaker 8: Well, I think one of the biggest things ian is
- 51:08Speaker 8: just the size. I mean, he is legitimate, six for five,
- 51:10Speaker 8: two hundred and thirty pounds, his production. He was a
- 51:14Speaker 8: cow before and then goes to Indiana. You know, he
- 51:17Speaker 8: is kind of the you know, the hot guy right
- 51:21Speaker 8: now in terms of the quarterback prospects available, because there
- 51:24Speaker 8: was there was so much hype before the season began,
- 51:27Speaker 8: of course about guys like a Garrett Nessmeyer Lsu or
- 51:30Speaker 8: a Kid Klebnick at Clemson arch Manning at Texas instead
- 51:35Speaker 8: Briando Mendoza, who was on my initial first round mock
- 51:39Speaker 8: draft to start the season. So it's all he's come
- 51:41Speaker 8: out of nowhere. But he has just been the guy
- 51:44Speaker 8: who has excelled when everybody else is basically taken the
- 51:47Speaker 8: off ramp, so to speak, throughout this season. So his
- 51:51Speaker 8: production speaks for itself. He's been absolutely dynamic. I agree
- 51:55Speaker 8: with you if he were to have a splash performance,
- 51:57Speaker 8: even in a lost to Ohio State, if he had
- 52:00Speaker 8: splash of performance against a defense that's this talented. But
- 52:03Speaker 8: I think that he should basically just be nailing in
- 52:06Speaker 8: the Heisman Trophy winner. As the Heisman Trophy winner, it
- 52:10Speaker 8: remains to be seen if he's going to be the
- 52:12Speaker 8: first quarterback selected. He's a red shirt junior. Everybody expects
- 52:15Speaker 8: that he is likely going to enter the draft. He should.
- 52:19Speaker 8: At the same time, I also think that the kid
- 52:22Speaker 8: in Oregon, Dante Moore, the kid at Alabama Ty Simpson
- 52:25Speaker 8: are very much in the running as well. One of
- 52:27Speaker 8: the things that Random Mendoza has that they don't is
- 52:30Speaker 8: that he has been a multi year starter and he
- 52:33Speaker 8: has shown very clutch jeans when the game is on
- 52:37Speaker 8: the line, which hasn't always been the case for the
- 52:40Speaker 8: other two aforementioned quarterbacks and certainly several of the other
- 52:42Speaker 8: quarterbacks in this draft class. So this is a great
- 52:45Speaker 8: opportunity for him. But even if he has a somewhat
- 52:50Speaker 8: average kind of a performance against Ohio State, I feel
- 52:53Speaker 8: very confident, however, that Fernando Mendoza is still going to
- 52:56Speaker 8: wind up being a first round selection this year's draft class.
- 52:58Speaker 2: That is a five o'clock Saturday on Fox. All right,
- 53:00Speaker 2: let's uh, We've got other Hoosiers to talk about. We'll
- 53:03Speaker 2: do that during the playoffs because they're in the playoffs.
- 53:05Speaker 2: We know that's we'll do that at that point. Number
- 53:06Speaker 2: three or Georgia, number nine, Alabama ABC, one o'clock on Saturday.
- 53:10Speaker 2: We've talked a lot about these teams this season. Let
- 53:13Speaker 2: me throw a couple names at you that we haven't
- 53:14Speaker 2: discussed because I'm curious about them. Bama wide receiver Jeremy Bernard,
- 53:18Speaker 2: who was here, as well as Parker Brailes for the center,
- 53:20Speaker 2: both from from Washington, followed to bore down to Tuscal loose.
- 53:24Speaker 2: So what type of players are they? As far as
- 53:26Speaker 2: the NFL Draft is concerned.
- 53:29Speaker 8: With Bernard. I think that he's got a legitimate chance
- 53:31Speaker 8: to be a top fifty selection. He's little things I
- 53:34Speaker 8: like most about him is there's a lot of receivers
- 53:37Speaker 8: in this draft class seven, and we either have great
- 53:39Speaker 8: straight line speed or they have great size, but not
- 53:44Speaker 8: necessarily both. And it's not that Bernard necessarily has the
- 53:47Speaker 8: elite straight line seed. But he's got good size six
- 53:50Speaker 8: foot one, two hundred and nine pounds, so he's kind
- 53:52Speaker 8: of a thickly built guy. And he's got great agility,
- 53:57Speaker 8: I mean, just bounces off of contact well, and those
- 54:01Speaker 8: traits translate very well to the NFL. He is a
- 54:04Speaker 8: guy that can be effective as both a receiver I
- 54:08Speaker 8: personally like invest in the slot, as well as a
- 54:12Speaker 8: runner with the football. And so again, I just think
- 54:15Speaker 8: that he's a natural playmaker. Everybody going back to Debor
- 54:20Speaker 8: at University of Washington and Ryan Grubb there, as well
- 54:24Speaker 8: as the coaches at Alabama, including obviously both of those coaches,
- 54:29Speaker 8: and going back to his days in Michigan State as well,
- 54:32Speaker 8: has always raved about this kid's just instincts and so
- 54:36Speaker 8: why receiver class like this and again, has a lot
- 54:39Speaker 8: of guys that are you know, maybe are missing some
- 54:41Speaker 8: of the elements that you're looking for to be a
- 54:43Speaker 8: true dynamic playmaker. This guy just makes plays, you know,
- 54:47Speaker 8: game in and game out. So he is definitely a
- 54:50Speaker 8: player that I think has top fifty you know, stamped
- 54:53Speaker 8: on him. Even though I don't know that he necessarily
- 54:55Speaker 8: is even going to break the four or five oh mark.
- 54:57Speaker 8: I think that he might be in a mid four
- 54:59Speaker 8: fives the workouts. He still is as a dynamic playmaker
- 55:03Speaker 8: that I think his best attribute is just the fact
- 55:05Speaker 8: that he does make plays on the football field. Isn't
- 55:08Speaker 8: necessarily an league athlete. Punker Bracefield is an interesting one
- 55:11Speaker 8: the center for Alabama obviously at the University of Washington previously.
- 55:15Speaker 8: He's a little bit underside. Six foot two, two hundred
- 55:17Speaker 8: and ninety pounds is what Alabama lists them out. I
- 55:19Speaker 8: wouldn't be surprised if he actually comes in a little
- 55:21Speaker 8: bit smaller than that, but he's got the quickness that's
- 55:24Speaker 8: going to be really intriguing for teams that run the
- 55:26Speaker 8: wide zone. I don't think that the Seattle necessarily is
- 55:29Speaker 8: going to be that interesting because they've got two good
- 55:31Speaker 8: young centers already in Jalensen, Dow and of course the
- 55:34Speaker 8: starter right now, Olaw with Timmy, both of them are
- 55:38Speaker 8: have at least one more year on their respective deals.
- 55:41Speaker 8: But at the same time, his quickness is his game,
- 55:44Speaker 8: his instincts, his quickness. He's not a big, powerful guy,
- 55:47Speaker 8: but he certainly can get the job done. And he's
- 55:49Speaker 8: somebody that I also expect he's going to wind up
- 55:51Speaker 8: being an NFL starter down the road.
- 55:53Speaker 2: The overall, I mean, that just should be a heck
- 55:55Speaker 2: of a game. I know a lot of people are
- 55:56Speaker 2: hoping that Alabama gets blown out. Those people are from
- 55:59Speaker 2: Notre Dame and Miami respectively, maybe even BYU. But I
- 56:02Speaker 2: have a feeling it's gonna be a good game. We'll
- 56:04Speaker 2: talk about Ty Simpson we get to the playoffs as well,
- 56:06Speaker 2: the quarterback for Alabama. Because I want to jump down
- 56:08Speaker 2: Rob rang joining us Christiafarelis Frelispizza dot com. Let's jump
- 56:12Speaker 2: down to number the first game of the day, nine AM, Saturday,
- 56:14Speaker 2: Number eleven b YU, number four Texas Tech. A lot
- 56:18Speaker 2: of younger guys in this game. Does this guy want
- 56:20Speaker 2: to talk about though? Jacob Rodriguez is the linebacker for
- 56:22Speaker 2: Texas Tech. They're pumping his tires up. Is Texas Tech
- 56:25Speaker 2: trying to get him some Heisman consideration as a linebacker.
- 56:29Speaker 2: He's had a couple of plays this year even on offense.
- 56:31Speaker 2: What do you see on tape with Jacob Rodriguez.
- 56:35Speaker 8: Well, it's funny because the first time I watched him,
- 56:37Speaker 8: I wasn't you know, I wasn't buying all the hype.
- 56:41Speaker 8: I mean, but my goodness, the numbers just speak for themselves.
- 56:44Speaker 4: Ian.
- 56:45Speaker 8: I mean, one hundred and four tackles so far this season.
- 56:47Speaker 8: That's you know, that's good, solid numbers. It's the ten
- 56:51Speaker 8: tackles for loss, it's the four interceptions, and this is
- 56:55Speaker 8: the crazy one. Seven forced fumbles this season, I mean
- 56:59Speaker 8: seven fourthsuble this season is you know, bonkers numbers. And
- 57:02Speaker 8: then you look at it over his career and as
- 57:04Speaker 8: you mentioned, this is the former quarterback. Over his career,
- 57:07Speaker 8: he's got thirteen force fumbles. So this is not some
- 57:09Speaker 8: fluky season for him. And the more tape you watch
- 57:13Speaker 8: on this guy, the more you like him. He is
- 57:16Speaker 8: just incredibly instinctive player. Is this very little wasted motion
- 57:21Speaker 8: with him. He just it's almost like I used the
- 57:24Speaker 8: reference like Jedi like instincts. I mean this I can
- 57:27Speaker 8: picture this young man closing his eyes and just knowing
- 57:30Speaker 8: where to run the football. You know, you know me.
- 57:33Speaker 8: I often like to use references to the Seahawks just
- 57:35Speaker 8: so our our audience and thank you very much for
- 57:38Speaker 8: everybody who's listening, by the way, so our audience can
- 57:41Speaker 8: have pictured these players. To me, he reminds me so
- 57:43Speaker 8: much of Drake Thomas and now he's a little bit undersized,
- 57:47Speaker 8: but the guy just plays bigger than he looks and
- 57:51Speaker 8: again explodes through ball carriers. I mean he knocks them
- 57:54Speaker 8: to the ground and again has a ability to remove
- 57:59Speaker 8: the football from the player. He not only with his
- 58:02Speaker 8: explosive hits, but he also just times his punch. We
- 58:05Speaker 8: all know that Charles Tillman is still called punch. It's
- 58:08Speaker 8: something that Charles Tilman made famous. To see this young
- 58:11Speaker 8: man at full bore speed, I mean he is galloping
- 58:14Speaker 8: towards ball carriers and he is just timing the punch
- 58:17Speaker 8: to knock the ball out. That was one of my
- 58:19Speaker 8: initial concerns is I saw some miss tackles on tape,
- 58:22Speaker 8: But at the same time, a lot of those mistackles
- 58:24Speaker 8: are because he's going for the football, and when you
- 58:27Speaker 8: produce as many turnovers as he does, again, full interceptions
- 58:30Speaker 8: this season, seven force fumbles this season. I think that
- 58:33Speaker 8: he does deserve to be one of the finals for
- 58:35Speaker 8: the highest mean, I can't imagine he's actually gonna win it,
- 58:38Speaker 8: but we're coming on the heels. And when Travis Hunter
- 58:40Speaker 8: of course won it this past year, and he didn't
- 58:43Speaker 8: produce nearly as many big plays on the defensive side
- 58:45Speaker 8: of the ball as what this young man has done,
- 58:47Speaker 8: Texas Tech has a bunch of defensive players are going
- 58:51Speaker 8: to wind up being drafted this year. Take up Brian
- 58:54Speaker 8: Reguez is probably not the top fifty selection, but I
- 58:56Speaker 8: think that somebody is going to get him in the
- 58:58Speaker 8: latter stage of the day too, and I do believe
- 58:59Speaker 8: they he's gonna wind up being an NFL starter.
- 59:02Speaker 2: That's the Big twelve title game again, nine am on Saturday,
- 59:06Speaker 2: five o'clock on Saturday, Duke versus Virginia ACC. This rob,
- 59:12Speaker 2: I don't even know there is there is there a
- 59:14Speaker 2: high end NFL talent in the game that everyone thinks
- 59:17Speaker 2: is just a weird one because the best two teams
- 59:19Speaker 2: from the ACC aren't even in it.
- 59:23Speaker 8: That's a good point. Uh, you know, I guess that
- 59:26Speaker 8: my my favorite players is for Ducasse. They've got a
- 59:28Speaker 8: right tackle I think is intriguing. Brian Parker number fifty three,
- 59:32Speaker 8: six five, three hundred and five pounder. You know, he's
- 59:36Speaker 8: he's got light seat for three hundred pounder. At the
- 59:40Speaker 8: same time, like we've we've heard John Schneider kind of
- 59:43Speaker 8: bemoan the fact that a lot of college offensive linemen
- 59:47Speaker 8: aren't very prepared for the NFL, and large part because
- 59:49Speaker 8: they they're often had a two point stance. That's the
- 59:53Speaker 8: same case here with Brian Parker, and there's gonna be
- 59:55Speaker 8: some transition as he gets to the NFL. I don't
- 59:58Speaker 8: know that he has the power and certainly again have
- 1:00:01Speaker 8: the two point stands the technique that you necessarily are
- 1:00:05Speaker 8: looking forward to be the first or second round pick
- 1:00:08Speaker 8: that some in the media are projecting him as. But
- 1:00:10Speaker 8: that said, I do think that he has starting potential
- 1:00:13Speaker 8: in the NFL. But more for me, you know, in
- 1:00:16Speaker 8: that sixty four the bomb in the second round to
- 1:00:19Speaker 8: you know, top one hundred selection, maybe more of that
- 1:00:21Speaker 8: third round selection for Virginia. I'm intrigued by a couple
- 1:00:25Speaker 8: of defensive players. They got a free safety, Devin Neil
- 1:00:27Speaker 8: number twenty seven. Now he has bounced around college football
- 1:00:32Speaker 8: a lot. He was a Baylor, he's been Louisville this
- 1:00:34Speaker 8: sixth season. But I am you know, I really like
- 1:00:39Speaker 8: it when when guys are able to turn pass breakups
- 1:00:42Speaker 8: into interceptions. And of his thirteen career path breakup, six
- 1:00:47Speaker 8: of them are interceptions. So he's got good hands and
- 1:00:49Speaker 8: good instincts for the position that Mitchell Melton. We talked
- 1:00:52Speaker 8: about Ohio State before. Gosh about all the prospects they have.
- 1:00:55Speaker 8: This is an Ohio State transfer who has exploded for
- 1:01:00Speaker 8: Virginia this year. Ten tackles for lost, five sacks, three
- 1:01:03Speaker 8: four stumbles this year. To me, those are the top
- 1:01:06Speaker 8: prospects in this game. I don't know that any of
- 1:01:08Speaker 8: the three of them are gonna wind up being first
- 1:01:10Speaker 8: or second round selections, but I do think that they
- 1:01:13Speaker 8: have some quality mid round prospects that make it worth
- 1:01:16Speaker 8: your while to watch the game.
- 1:01:17Speaker 3: Great stuff, my friend, Well, I think yeah, In fact not,
- 1:01:21Speaker 3: I think.
- 1:01:22Speaker 2: I know. I give you next week off because it's
- 1:01:24Speaker 2: our Jess and Greg Bell are doing the show from
- 1:01:27Speaker 2: Army Navy. I do believe next Friday, So then you
- 1:01:29Speaker 2: and I will reconvene when it makes sense. Right, we're
- 1:01:32Speaker 2: in the college football playoffs and bowl games. So have
- 1:01:34Speaker 2: a week off, enjoy some Freeliespizza for Elliespizza dot com.

- 1:02:42Speaker 2: us and then softyxftion I here us and fame at
- 1:02:45Speaker 2: three thirty five text four nine, four, five, one two
- 1:02:50Speaker 2: six Daily Power Play? Cananders bring himself to play mcdavids
- 1:02:53Speaker 2: hat trick For those who don't know, Andrews absolutely hates
- 1:02:59Speaker 2: Spy Benton Oilers. So last night was a rough one
- 1:03:02Speaker 2: for the Kraken. Our boy can't even get into work today,
- 1:03:05Speaker 2: that's how distraught he is.
- 1:03:07Speaker 6: We just let him rest after back to back losses
- 1:03:10Speaker 6: to the Boilers.
- 1:03:10Speaker 2: Yes, yes, let's see what else we got here we go.
- 1:03:14Speaker 2: I'm let me read this real quick. Same with hockey
- 1:03:16Speaker 2: percent as a fan who didn't watch hockey before the cracking,
- 1:03:18Speaker 2: is an unfair to criticize bevinears and Right feels like
- 1:03:20Speaker 2: top three draft pick should have had a lot more
- 1:03:22Speaker 2: impact than they both have. Right wasn't top three, but
- 1:03:25Speaker 2: Veneers is number two. Yeah, listen, I go back and
- 1:03:28Speaker 2: forth on this all the time. I think Shane's Shane's
- 1:03:31Speaker 2: twenty one years old. Please keep that in mind, Maddie
- 1:03:35Speaker 2: number two overall pick. I think if you were expecting
- 1:03:38Speaker 2: him to be a forty or fifty goal scorer, that's
- 1:03:40Speaker 2: not who he is.
- 1:03:40Speaker 3: As a player.
- 1:03:41Speaker 2: Also, if you look at the players picked after him,
- 1:03:45Speaker 2: it was not a miss like he's a really good player.
- 1:03:48Speaker 3: He's just not.
- 1:03:49Speaker 2: I think we're listen you guys, as a hockey I
- 1:03:54Speaker 2: love the hockey questions.
- 1:03:55Speaker 3: I really do.
- 1:03:56Speaker 2: And I'm gonna tell you and I'm trying not to
- 1:03:58Speaker 2: be mister mister company guy. I want to see a
- 1:04:04Speaker 2: forty or fifty goal scorer on this team as bad
- 1:04:06Speaker 2: as you do, maybe even more. Okay, I really do.
- 1:04:10Speaker 2: They're hard to find. Guys are re signing. You have
- 1:04:13Speaker 2: to have somebody want to come here. There's a lot
- 1:04:15Speaker 2: of things that go into play and draft pick wise,
- 1:04:20Speaker 2: they've missed one first round pick. I can I think
- 1:04:22Speaker 2: is say it's safe to say.
- 1:04:23Speaker 3: I'll be honest.
- 1:04:24Speaker 7: I think that's fair.
- 1:04:25Speaker 2: You know, Shelai's not not what they want it to be.
- 1:04:30Speaker 2: But even in that draft, I'm kind of looking down.
- 1:04:32Speaker 2: It's like it's crapshoot man. Draft is seventeen eighteen year
- 1:04:35Speaker 2: old kids. Berkeley's gonna be really good, Jacob Brian the
- 1:04:37Speaker 2: draft last years be really good. Yeah, I'd like to.
- 1:04:40Speaker 2: But as far as those two guys, Shane needs to
- 1:04:41Speaker 2: be better. Shane needs to score more. Maddy's been good,
- 1:04:46Speaker 2: Matty's given a lot more responsibility defensively, so, but yeah,
- 1:04:49Speaker 2: I don't think it's unfair to criticize them. I would
- 1:04:51Speaker 2: just say the criticism needs to be kind of focused
- 1:04:54Speaker 2: in Maddy's a good hockey player, Shane's a kid. We'll say,
- 1:04:58Speaker 2: all right, what else?
- 1:04:59Speaker 6: All right, but now this one, please take it with
- 1:05:02Speaker 6: a grain of salt.
- 1:05:03Speaker 7: But hey, Ian, no dis respect to you or Piper.
- 1:05:07Speaker 7: You guys do a great job.
- 1:05:08Speaker 6: But did I hear that you two were nominated for
- 1:05:10Speaker 6: Sportscasters of the Year. If so, why wasn't Alison nominated? Yes,
- 1:05:18Speaker 6: thank you, congratulations on your nomination.
- 1:05:21Speaker 3: I appreciate that.
- 1:05:21Speaker 2: Yeah, we were both. There's four finalists. Aaron Goldsmith. People
- 1:05:28Speaker 2: might have heard of him, and if he doesn't, Urners
- 1:05:30Speaker 2: Goldie was one.
- 1:05:31Speaker 3: Nico.
- 1:05:32Speaker 7: We heard a lot of him this year.
- 1:05:33Speaker 2: Nico at Como who I'm not sure if Enay works
- 1:05:36Speaker 2: harder on TV. He's a one man, one man, one
- 1:05:39Speaker 2: man television news department.
- 1:05:41Speaker 3: Does a great job. Nico does a really good job.
- 1:05:42Speaker 7: Literally everything I go to I see him.
- 1:05:45Speaker 3: Yeah, he works really hard. Piper works.
- 1:05:48Speaker 2: I can tell you this, what you see with Piper
- 1:05:50Speaker 2: just doing stuff in the rink and reports and in game.
- 1:05:53Speaker 2: That's like one third of what she does. She works,
- 1:05:56Speaker 2: she puts all those stories together. Feature she is great
- 1:05:58Speaker 2: at what she is. Absolutely she is the queen. Then
- 1:06:02Speaker 2: she'll be hosting on Monday when I'm doing play by play.
- 1:06:04Speaker 2: She's able to do that as well. She's very very good,
- 1:06:08Speaker 2: very much so, and does a great job with everything.
- 1:06:10Speaker 2: And I'm thrilled and I hope Frankly, I kind of
- 1:06:13Speaker 2: hope she wins it. She's my teammate and then and
- 1:06:16Speaker 2: Alison was not. But I think Allison would fall into
- 1:06:18Speaker 2: the category of more of an analyst as opposed to
- 1:06:21Speaker 2: Does that make sense?
- 1:06:22Speaker 6: Yes, yeah, when you're the broadcaster, you are broadcasting the game,
- 1:06:26Speaker 6: it's it's like me, like, I'm a.
- 1:06:28Speaker 2: Reporter, but your reporter, you would be you would fall
- 1:06:31Speaker 2: you would you would fall into that category is a broadcast.
- 1:06:33Speaker 2: I think Alison's more of a she's an analyst. She's
- 1:06:36Speaker 2: a game analyst. Yeah, like she's like a color commentator.
- 1:06:38Speaker 2: She's you know, she's Cam Cleve and Alex Brink and J. T.
- 1:06:42Speaker 3: Brown? What have you see? What you're saying, I'm saying, yeah.
- 1:06:44Speaker 2: Yeah, see, more like the Yeah, so that's I think
- 1:06:47Speaker 2: that's why if you're saying why was she not? That
- 1:06:49Speaker 2: would be it. Allison's I Every day I get to
- 1:06:53Speaker 2: work with her, I'm I'm happy, I'm lucky.
- 1:06:55Speaker 7: And I'm She's phenomenal.
- 1:06:57Speaker 3: It's so good.
- 1:06:59Speaker 2: I'm very biased, but working with her, working with Piper,
- 1:07:04Speaker 2: John JT Edzo, it's just an incredible crew and I
- 1:07:08Speaker 2: couldn't be happy to be part of it. But I
- 1:07:10Speaker 2: think that's why Allison wasn't nominated, or there's only X
- 1:07:13Speaker 2: number of people that can get nominated. There's four finalists,
- 1:07:15Speaker 2: and in a way you go, so, yeah, but thank you.
- 1:07:18Speaker 2: That's hopefully that answers that the answer to that, I
- 1:07:20Speaker 2: think it does.
- 1:07:20Speaker 6: Yeah, you put it more in perspective for me, because
- 1:07:23Speaker 6: I would consider myself like not even a broadcaster. Yeah,
- 1:07:27Speaker 6: and so I would never broadcaster.
- 1:07:29Speaker 2: These days, it is pretty wide, pretty broadly encompassing, right.
- 1:07:33Speaker 7: Fet In game analyst is a little different.
- 1:07:35Speaker 3: Yeah, she's our analyst.
- 1:07:36Speaker 2: She's she breaks down the tape and tells us about
- 1:07:38Speaker 2: the play before the play, before the play before so
- 1:07:41Speaker 2: and does it better than anybody in the leak.
- 1:07:42Speaker 3: Okay, let's go, where's that to go? Glad you're with us.
- 1:07:45Speaker 1: It's your shot at our weekly thousand bucks and the
- 1:07:48Speaker 1: ten thousand dollars grand prize. It's Fact Door Fiction, probably

- 1:08:19Speaker 2: This is it bittersweet day, Final one Factor Fiction. The
- 1:08:22Speaker 2: final Factor Fiction pick for me and our show is
- 1:08:27Speaker 2: coming up right now. This is it's a little bit
- 1:08:32Speaker 2: of a bigger spread, which I don't love, but I
- 1:08:36Speaker 2: do love a couple things about it. I'm going with
- 1:08:40Speaker 2: the Rams minus eight and a half fact four nine,
- 1:08:44Speaker 2: four to five to one over.
- 1:08:47Speaker 3: The Arizona Cardinals. Okay, now, and where is the game?
- 1:08:52Speaker 4: Uh?
- 1:08:54Speaker 2: It is in Arizona. Don't even care about that. Arizona's
- 1:08:58Speaker 2: injury report came out a moment ago. Twelve guys on
- 1:09:02Speaker 2: their roster listed is out.
- 1:09:04Speaker 7: Yeah, it was not.
- 1:09:06Speaker 2: Kyler's out for the year. I yeah, I know, Brissett's fine,
- 1:09:10Speaker 2: what have you. But yeah, I don't. I just this
- 1:09:14Speaker 2: is this to me is an absolute slam dunk, no brainer.
- 1:09:19Speaker 2: Here we go eight and a half means they gotta
- 1:09:21Speaker 2: win by nine. It's a big spread Rams. If they
- 1:09:25Speaker 2: had not lost last week, I might be a little
- 1:09:27Speaker 2: hesitant on this, thinking that they're gonna take this game easy.
- 1:09:30Speaker 2: They ain't gonna take this game easy. This is not
- 1:09:33Speaker 2: This is a must must win for the Rams.
- 1:09:36Speaker 3: Now.
- 1:09:36Speaker 2: Listen, sometimes I root to be wrong. There's part of
- 1:09:39Speaker 2: me that's not really rooting to be wrong here. But
- 1:09:42Speaker 2: I am liking it because if if, if the Cardinals
- 1:09:46Speaker 2: upset them, Now obviously they could cover too. But if
- 1:09:48Speaker 2: they upset them, then that's great for the Seahawks. But
- 1:09:50Speaker 2: I don't think that's gonna happen. You come off a loss.
- 1:09:52Speaker 2: Arizona's got I mean, it is brutal. Who's out for them?
- 1:09:57Speaker 2: They're tapped out. Game's over and listen. As far as
- 1:10:01Speaker 2: words at, Arizona is a neutral site game especially when
- 1:10:04Speaker 2: you're playing la they're both playing neutral site games all year.
- 1:10:06Speaker 2: Doesn't matter about that. So yeah, that's so if you

- 1:12:38Speaker 2: about that earlier in the two o'clock hour. That's at
- 1:12:41Speaker 2: seven o'clock tonight, right, seven o'clocks.
- 1:12:43Speaker 3: Michael Benton, Mike Benton, the captain.
- 1:12:46Speaker 2: Oh yeah, he's already already seen, he's already done the
- 1:12:48Speaker 2: obligatory tweeting and sending the picture of his board out,
- 1:12:52Speaker 2: his play by playboard out there with all the rosters.
- 1:12:55Speaker 2: So yeah, so Mike's got that game. It's over on
- 1:12:57Speaker 2: nine to fifty on the AM dial, also on the iHeart. Honestly,
- 1:13:01Speaker 2: if I'm being honest with you, guys, listen, listen on
- 1:13:02Speaker 2: the app.
- 1:13:04Speaker 10: That's easy, it's clean, it's perfect in your pocket. Yes,
- 1:13:07Speaker 10: you can go wherever you want.
- 1:13:07Speaker 3: Boom.
- 1:13:08Speaker 2: Yeah, So it should be a good game tonights with
- 1:13:10Speaker 2: those two and you got Sumner and Lake Stevens tomorrow.
- 1:13:14Speaker 3: That'll be a great game.
- 1:13:15Speaker 10: They played the first game of the season and it
- 1:13:18Speaker 10: was a three point win for Lake Stevens and they
- 1:13:20Speaker 10: got it on a last second twenty yard touchdown pass.
- 1:13:24Speaker 10: So this is a rematch here in the Chance State
- 1:13:27Speaker 10: champions Game.
- 1:13:28Speaker 3: It's gonna be a lot of fun. That's fun.
- 1:13:31Speaker 2: My kid played up Atlake Stevens in a playoff game
- 1:13:33Speaker 2: in twenty nineteen, and I.
- 1:13:37Speaker 3: Mean they're loaded every year up there.
- 1:13:39Speaker 2: And if I mean to me, Lake Stevens on a
- 1:13:43Speaker 2: Friday night, I know it's not there. It's an Husky
- 1:13:45Speaker 2: Stadium tomorrow, but Lake Stevens on a Friday night that's
- 1:13:47Speaker 2: about as close to Friday night lights Texas as we get.
- 1:13:50Speaker 2: That place was big, stadium, packed, crazy atmosphere, Like you're
- 1:13:55Speaker 2: just like whoa, whoa. I mean, they do high school
- 1:13:58Speaker 2: football right up there, Atlake Stevens. And obviously Keith and
- 1:14:01Speaker 2: Sunder winning last year was awesome.
- 1:14:02Speaker 5: Yep.
- 1:14:02Speaker 3: He's one of the good guys in high school football
- 1:14:04Speaker 3: in our states.
- 1:14:05Speaker 10: So and then Tom Try Lake Stevens is just a legend.
- 1:14:08Speaker 3: Yeah good, And I've mentioned this a lot.
- 1:14:11Speaker 2: I think it's awesome that what we on this station
- 1:14:14Speaker 2: do with high school sports basketball tournament in March.
- 1:14:17Speaker 3: We'll be down. I do a show there every year.
- 1:14:19Speaker 2: I think you and Mike he would go down and
- 1:14:21Speaker 2: do the play by play on the finals and stuff
- 1:14:22Speaker 2: like that for the boys and the girls.
- 1:14:23Speaker 3: Which is hoping not to do the play by play
- 1:14:25Speaker 3: this year. You want to be in it. I'd like
- 1:14:27Speaker 3: to be back on the bench with the state championship game.
- 1:14:31Speaker 3: I think we're I don't. I think we're a little
- 1:14:33Speaker 3: ways away, little ways away from that. I mentioned this
- 1:14:36Speaker 3: the other day.
- 1:14:37Speaker 2: When I first moved, so I've been here for nineteen years.
- 1:14:40Speaker 2: So I got here in two thousand and six, fall
- 1:14:41Speaker 2: of two thousand and six. And when I was first here,
- 1:14:44Speaker 2: I was doing the night show and the I would
- 1:14:48Speaker 2: we couldn't sell our house for like a year down
- 1:14:49Speaker 2: to Vancouver, so I would come up, stay with my
- 1:14:51Speaker 2: in laws in Lakewood or my parents up in Magnolia
- 1:14:54Speaker 2: during the week, and then Friday, jumping the car and
- 1:14:56Speaker 2: head back home to Vancouver. And one of my favorite
- 1:14:59Speaker 2: things was jumping in the car at ten.
- 1:15:00Speaker 10: O'clock and listen varsity football Varsity football live.
- 1:15:04Speaker 2: It was awesome. I mean, I know times have changed.
- 1:15:07Speaker 2: People can get scores everywhere now, but back then that's
- 1:15:09Speaker 2: the only way.
- 1:15:09Speaker 3: But you get your high school football scores.
- 1:15:11Speaker 2: The tour around the state that you would do, uh,
- 1:15:14Speaker 2: and I hosted it a couple of times. You for
- 1:15:16Speaker 2: the most part were the main host, but if you
- 1:15:18Speaker 2: couldn't be there, it was me or Poker whoever. A
- 1:15:20Speaker 2: ton of fun to do. We had some great characters.
- 1:15:23Speaker 2: That's where Ryan Divish made his media debut in Seattle
- 1:15:26Speaker 2: when he's working for the news tribute in high school
- 1:15:28Speaker 2: sports and.

- 1:15:38Speaker 10: we'll talk to today at six on the on the
- 1:15:41Speaker 10: radio show. So a lot of a lot of dudes.
- 1:15:44Speaker 10: I think Tim Booth was on, Tim Yeah he was.
- 1:15:47Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 1:15:48Speaker 10: So I think you kind of want to say we
- 1:15:49Speaker 10: had Christian Capele too. I mean we've had all yeah
- 1:15:53Speaker 10: on the trip around the state. Yeah, it's everywhere. I
- 1:15:55Speaker 10: mean that was that show was that music was great,
- 1:15:57Speaker 10: The show was great. You know, I think it's just awesome.
- 1:16:01Speaker 10: You know again, times have changed a little bit harder
- 1:16:03Speaker 10: to do that now and now.
- 1:16:05Speaker 3: Back back then when we did.
- 1:16:06Speaker 2: It was like if you were kind of a high
- 1:16:07Speaker 2: school football fan, and I think there's a very underrated
- 1:16:11Speaker 2: audience for high school sports in our state. I think,
- 1:16:13Speaker 2: by and large, outside of Chris Eague at Channel five,
- 1:16:16Speaker 2: every television station ignores high school sports now they just
- 1:16:19Speaker 2: ignore it, which is to me is wrong. But uh,
- 1:16:22Speaker 2: there's you got to put something into it. But you know,
- 1:16:24Speaker 2: like if you want to know what the scores were
- 1:16:27Speaker 2: back then, the only way to do it is listen
- 1:16:28Speaker 2: to the radio station because Twitter wasn't really even a
- 1:16:31Speaker 2: thing yet, nothing like that. So you're like, man, I'm
- 1:16:34Speaker 2: up here, I'm in the Metro League. How did Eastside
- 1:16:36Speaker 2: Catholic do? I want to know how they did? Or
- 1:16:38Speaker 2: how I'm over in the SPSL. How did how does
- 1:16:40Speaker 2: Sumner do? I'm a Puilllet fan. I want like you
- 1:16:42Speaker 2: know all that stuff.
- 1:16:43Speaker 10: There are powers that be that are attempting to fix that,
- 1:16:46Speaker 10: and we might have some news for you as early
- 1:16:48Speaker 10: as tomorrow. Oh I like it all right, So stay tuned. Okay,
- 1:16:52Speaker 10: you know, watch my watch my Twitter account and.
- 1:16:54Speaker 3: Okay, I we'll do that. I'll have a great call tomorrow.
- 1:16:56Speaker 3: Thank you.
- 1:16:56Speaker 2: Kind of jellous in a sense you go. You'll have
- 1:16:58Speaker 2: a fun time out there. There's a lot of the
- 1:17:00Speaker 2: weather cooperates. You might be missing the Tacoma Dome tomorrow.
- 1:17:03Speaker 10: Yes, that was the one thing about going to the
- 1:17:05Speaker 10: Tacoma Dome in December to New football is like, I
- 1:17:07Speaker 10: could wear a T shirt.
- 1:17:08Speaker 3: This doesn't matter. Yeah, you sit up in that little
- 1:17:10Speaker 3: perch up there. The weather was always perfect.
- 1:17:13Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 1:17:13Speaker 3: Now I'm twice as high.
- 1:17:14Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 1:17:15Speaker 10: So Benton reminded me because I haven't done a football
- 1:17:17Speaker 10: game at Husky Stadium, and so Bent was like, bring
- 1:17:20Speaker 10: your binoculars. I was like, oh, yeah, I didn't think
- 1:17:22Speaker 10: about it because I didn't need the binoculars at the
- 1:17:24Speaker 10: Toma Dome.
- 1:17:27Speaker 3: Yeah. Well, it'll be great.
- 1:17:29Speaker 2: Mike Tonight, Dick tomorrow, both on nine fifty and again
- 1:17:31Speaker 2: you can listen on the.
- 1:17:32Speaker 10: App as well the radio apps. Go check that out.
- 1:17:34Speaker 10: What are you coming up today? Hughbreed Love Millan is
- 1:17:36Speaker 10: gonna join us. Gonna talk a lot of Seahawks, we'll
- 1:17:39Speaker 10: talk some Huskies. We'll replay a little bit kind of
- 1:17:41Speaker 10: the highlights of the Jedfish interview that Softie and I
- 1:17:43Speaker 10: did this week and get Hugh's take on that. I
- 1:17:45Speaker 10: think it'll be interesting to get Hugh's take on on
- 1:17:47Speaker 10: what Jed.
- 1:17:48Speaker 3: Had to say. Interesting is a nice choice of worse.
- 1:17:50Speaker 10: Sure, Sean Michaels from Atlanta, who is I'm sure is
- 1:17:55Speaker 10: furious right now, that is beloved. Miami Hurricanes are one
- 1:17:57Speaker 10: spot out of the playoffs, so we're going to there
- 1:18:00Speaker 10: they will stay and then they will probably stay. We'll
- 1:18:02Speaker 10: get his take on that, and of course the Atlanta Falcons,
- 1:18:04Speaker 10: which I think is his secondary on his mind to
- 1:18:06Speaker 10: the Miami Hurricanes. But we probably need to preview the
- 1:18:09Speaker 10: Falcons since we're taking them on. And then, as I mentioned,
- 1:18:12Speaker 10: Todd Millist at six forty five tonight leading up to
- 1:18:15Speaker 10: the Benton's call at seven on the AM dial.
- 1:18:17Speaker 3: Nice, who's doing color for you? Christopher Kid is doing
- 1:18:22Speaker 3: color for me?
- 1:18:24Speaker 8: Six?
- 1:18:24Speaker 3: Not bad?
- 1:18:25Speaker 2: Well, you can't have money? Is he on the O
- 1:18:26Speaker 2: Day call tonight? I don't think that would be sketchy?
- 1:18:30Speaker 7: Yes, I think he's only tomorrow.
- 1:18:32Speaker 10: Okay, that'd be very sketchy. Yeah, we got to pull
- 1:18:35Speaker 10: him off the O Day.
