  Speaker 1: Now, from the Star Reynolds Sports Desk, your 93.3 KJR
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: FM Sports Headlines.
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: Good morning!
• 0:09
  Speaker 3: Hello!
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: What a great morning. I just pulled out the headphones, Jack,
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: to my headphones.
• 0:14
  Speaker 4: Oh, well, Greg, you're a radio professional. We all know
• 0:18
  Speaker 4: not to do that, even though I do it all
• 0:20
  Speaker 4: the time.
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: I am a radio professional now more than ever.
• 0:23
  Speaker 4: Sometimes you do a little yoga in the studio and
• 0:26
  Speaker 4: you accidentally kick out a headphone jack.
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: What a day this has been already. Headlines are brought
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: to you by Frostbrood. Coors Light, as cold as the Rockies. Well,
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: that didn't go exactly as the Seahawks planned last night, eh?
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: Sam Darnold's getting more tests today, including MRI on his
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: injured hip. I'm trying to post a story on thenewstribune.com.
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: Don't know why, while I'm still talking to you at
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: the same time, that Mike McDonald said this morning, we're
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: praying for Sam, but it's not like we're worrying. Until
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: the guy's back playing, you don't know. The hip's intact
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: and it's good. It's more of a muscle thing, so
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: that's good. So how long that is, we don't know yet.
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: McDonald was asked on his coach's show this morning if
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: he expects Darnold to miss games, specifically the Seahawks' next
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: one in 10 days, September 20, the division rival Arizona.
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: The coach said, quote, I don't know. In my mind,
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: I'm thinking Drew will play. Maybe that's a hedge. That's
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: the latest on Sam Darnold. I mean, like right off
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: the presses, didn't even get into the paper yet. See,
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: look how lucky you all are listening for the news today.
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: Backup quarterback Drew Locke entered for Darnell last night in
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: the middle of the first quarter, played a final three
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: and a half quarters, 16 for 22 passing, tying touchdown,
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: 45 yards at Jackson Smith and Jigba on that faithful
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: play call we'll talk about from new OC Brian Fleury
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: on fourth and one. Do you want to hear it?
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: I sure do.
• 1:37
  Speaker 5: Because it is gorgeous.
• 1:38
  Speaker 6: Go in the air, go right that way.
• 1:39
  Speaker 4: Great call, Chris.
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: Jackson Smith and Jigba is gone. Touchdown.
• 1:49
  Speaker 7: I always just like to hear it.
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: We'll talk about how cool that play call was on
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: fourth and one after a timeout because it could have
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: been Barnard's barnyard push plays. That's what it usually has
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: been for the last couple of years. I know.
• 2:00
  Speaker 7: That was ballsy.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, for the backup quarterback who had had exactly many.
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: You know how many snaps he had in practice in
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: the first team offense? Zero. As many as you did. Yeah.
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: As many as I did. There's a funny story about that, too,
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: about how Duloc gets ready. We'll talk about that as well.
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: Seahawks win because Josh Jobe intercepted a pass in the
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: end zone in 21 seconds. Quick look was closed. Throwing
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: it up in the end zone. Did he get the
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: feet down?
• 2:26
  Speaker 8: Jobe.
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 2:28
  Speaker 7: A pick.
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: A terrible decision. Josh Jobe. Terrible is not even a
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: bad enough word. Mike Tirico on the call with NBC Sports. Yeah,
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: that was one of the worst throws given the circumstances
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: the NFL quarterback could ever make.
• 2:46
  Speaker 7: There are questionable quarterback decisions.
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: I would just say that that toe tap is.
• 2:51
  Speaker 7: What I'm focusing on, is what Josh Jobe did.
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: Um you know the the decision yes was terrible but
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: josh job with that wherewithal.
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: Get out of here with drake may with me he
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: sucks i mean honestly he sucked in the super bowl
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: they got they handled the pressure for three quarters last
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: night he looked like a second this runner up in
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: the mvp voting and then when mcdonald finally figured out
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: pressure and the seahawks had momentum he sucked again Three
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: interceptions in the fourth quarter. That's as many as he
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: never had three in a game. And he had three
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: with the game on the line to blow a 10-0 lead.
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: He sucks. So no more of this Drake May. I
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: know yesterday Chuck was getting on me about it. We
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: have a Seattle guy who dismisses Drake May. You're damn
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: right I do. That was the worst throw I think
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: I've ever seen a quarterback throw in the NFL. Given
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: the stakes.
• 3:40
  Speaker 7: I mean, it's not even like the throw so much
• 3:43
  Speaker 7: as the decision.
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: Right?
• 3:44
  Speaker 9: Yes.
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: And then the physical throw itself was awful. You've got
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: to chuck that into the hawk's nest. But you were
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: falling back because Demarcus Lawrence stepped over the left tackle
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: who tried to cut block him. What a play by
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: Demarcus Lawrence at the end. Seahawks are 1-0 the hard way.
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: They don't play again for 10 days, like I said,
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: September 20th in Arizona. It sounds like Drew Locke's going
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: to be the starting quarterback. That worked out okay last night.
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: The Kozla family formally introduced yesterday as the new Seahawks owners.
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: It's becoming clear to me after talking to Neil Kozla
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: yesterday 33 years old, the son, for a half hour
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: after the press conference. He's going to be the point man.
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: But Ode Kozla told me that's the details guy for football.
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: Former 49ers intern developed a draft pick value chart for
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: them based on mathematics. He's going to be the point
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: man with John Schneider and Mike McDonald. The Mariners, they're
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: still playing? Yeah, they are. They won 3-2 over Texas yesterday.
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: They have another afternoon game, back-to-back afternoon games at the
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: Yard in Soto in the weekday, in the middle of
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: the week. That's weird. I don't know. There's six games
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: back with 17 to play. It would take Houston quitting
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: and maybe having more trash cans before they could ever
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: win the division. It's over.
• 4:48
  Speaker 7: Just keep saying trash cans. It's so fun.
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: It's just over.
• 4:52
  Speaker 7: I know. It just sucks.
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: It does.
• 4:55
  Speaker 10: Too bad.
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: Because it's been such a magnificent season at the park.
• 5:00
  Speaker 11: I know.
• 5:00
  Speaker 6: And.
• 5:01
  Speaker 7: It's been beautiful.
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: People are out and loving it, and it's been a
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: great experience. I've been there multiple times. The clubhouse is
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: still pretty cool, but knowing it's essentially over is sad.
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: Now on with the Thursday show. That is Ensign Sarah
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: Bell's favorite song, and at 4.30 this afternoon, I'm going
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: to be on a jet to Honolulu to see our daughter.
• 5:27
  Speaker 7: Can you give her a hug for me?
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: I will give her a long, long hug for you, Jessamyn.
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: Thank you. Jessamyn has been an Army-Navy game sidelines with
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: Ensign Sarah Bell. Both of your children. Yes, that's true.
• 5:37
  Speaker 6: Yes.
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: Yes, that's true. But yeah, the Seahawks are in a
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: hiatus now until really Wednesday when they begin preparations for
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: the next game, September 20th at Arizona. So I'm heading
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: out to Honolulu. Mike Benton is going to be in
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: here tomorrow and Monday for me. I appreciate that. And
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: in the meantime, I'll be writing the updates on thenewstribune.com
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: for Sam Darnold's injury. And that's the news of the day, obviously.
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: But what did you think last night, given the circumstances?
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: 49451 is the coming-of-age text line. How did you feel
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: about the opener? How did you feel about Drew Locke?
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: How did you feel about Josh Jobe? How did you
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: feel about the opener, man?
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: It was very house-divided for me because I have my,
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: you know, New England husband. And every time the Seahawks succeeded,
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: I went, ha, ha. 10-0. I didn't have a lot
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: of ha-has. So when I saw them start to come back,
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: because he was like, oh, they're going to boat race him.
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: I'm like, there's absolutely no way. But he was just
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: talking smack. He knew that there was not a chance
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: that they would boat race him. But when Sam got hurt,
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: I thought he was going to come back. When I
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: saw it was a hip, I was like, oh, he'll
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: be right back. But a fracture scared me. A contusion,
• 6:54
  Speaker 4: which I also went through in my volleyball career. I
• 6:57
  Speaker 4: had a hip contusion. I was able to play just
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: with a plate over me in my spandex, because we
• 7:05
  Speaker 4: have to wear those for some ungodly reason. And so
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: I didn't think that he was going to be unable
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: to return.
• 7:14
  Speaker 7: When I saw that he wasn't able.
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: And not knowing enough about Drew's ability to command a game,
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: I was very nervous.
• 7:22
  Speaker 7: And then the defense showed up like they show up.
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: Sure did. Three interceptions, three sacks, a couple tackles for losses,
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: all in the fourth quarter. And again, never before had
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: Drake Mays thrown three interceptions in a game, and he
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: threw three in the fourth quarter. We're going to talk
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: way more about this. You're going to hear from Jackson
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: Smith and Jigba, who had— The decisive play that got
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: him back in the game, 10-3 by outrunning four Patriots
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: after the catch on a fourth and one.
• 7:51
  Speaker 11: That was unbelievable.
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: The play call, though. That is a new offensive coordinator
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: going with his backup quarterback to throw the ball. Drew
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: Locke called it like a tap on the ass from
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: his offensive coordinator. A boost of saying, we're not going
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: to do barnyard. We're not going to run the ball.
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: We're going to put the ball in your hands, Drew Locke.
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: veteran six years in a row being a backup in
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: the league. We're going to give you the chance to.
• 8:15
  Speaker 7: Go get it.
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: It's exactly that. And that's how Locke said, he said,
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: go get it, buddy. That's what he said. It ran
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: through his mind when he heard the play call. That
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: was a play. They didn't practice for this game. It
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: was one of those deep install plays that they first
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: put in, in May and June and shorts and t-shirts
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: on the practice field in many camps, and then went
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: over it a few times and installs in training camp.
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: But that was not in the game plan. And, and
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: Locke said, Oh, I wasn't ready for this play in
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: this game. He wasn't ready for any of the plays
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: in the game.
• 8:45
  Speaker 7: But he showed up.
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: And then he throws it. He said it was his
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: third read. Smith and Jigba was his third read on
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: that play. And he scanned the field from right to
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: left and found Smith and Jigba on the left side
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: wide open in zone coverage by New England. He couldn't
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: believe it that the NFL offensive player there was that
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: wide open. There you go. Touchdown. 10-10 game with 12
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: minutes left. Tsunami of momentum in Seattle's favor. And away
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: they went.
• 9:09
  Speaker 4: That's what I felt watching the game, Greg, is you
• 9:13
  Speaker 4: could feel the momentum swing.
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: That's a real thing.
• 9:17
  Speaker 7: Some people don't believe in it. I 100% do.
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: No, it's a real thing.
• 9:21
  Speaker 4: I've been on the field for 15 years, 12 to
• 9:26
  Speaker 4: 13 games a year, and I witness it. I feel
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: the energy change. And that's what I could see happening
• 9:35
  Speaker 4: in that game. And I think that's what got to
• 9:37
  Speaker 4: Drake May, to be honest.
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: He got rattled. I mean, there's no doubt about that.
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: He was a different quarterback in the fourth quarter. He
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: was 10 of his first 12 because the Patriots really
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: handled Mike McDonald's blitzes, specifically of Devin Witherspoon out of
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: the slot. We talked all week. What do they do
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: to get Witherspoon inside? Who do they bring? They kept
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: Nehemiah Pritchett. They brought him back out after he had
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: started in the beginning of training camp and then yield
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: to no Igbenogany. Then they cut Igbenogany. They signed Trevon Diggs.
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: Diggs did not come up off the practice squad yesterday.
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: It was two safeties. One of them, A.J. Finley, elevated
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: to 53. Rodney Thomas up from the practice squad actually started,
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: the former Colts starter, and he played a great game.
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: He was all over the ball. short tackles in the
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: open field, the tip to Nehemiah Pritchett for the interception,
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: the first of the three interceptions in the fourth quarter,
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: it worked. But they couldn't blitz effectively. They were, I mean,
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: like nine out of ten times they blitzed Witherspoon. The
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: Patriots got a first down with quick passes from where
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: Witherspoon blitzed from, but then in the fourth quarter, it
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: all changed. The momentum shift, Witherspoon started getting home, Drake Thomas, safeties,
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: corners blitzing affecting. At one point, the Patriots, the Seahawks
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: called timeout on a fourth down late in the game.
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: They had nine men on the line of scrimmage poised
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: like they were going to come blitz like it was
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: that Chicago game, the 6-3 game a couple years ago.
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: And then they called timeout and backed off and did
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: a fake blitz and dropped into coverage and the Patriots
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: ended up converting. But McDonald kept blitzing and the Patriots
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: had answers for three quarters and then when the game aligned,
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: it didn't. And then they lost. You'll also hear from
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: Cooper Kopp.
• 11:09
  Speaker 7: Wait, hold on. Can you say that?
• 11:10
  Speaker 4: Shout it from the back row just so that Mike
• 11:13
  Speaker 4: can hear that the Patriots lost.
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: I don't want to rub it into Mike. I do.
• 11:17
  Speaker 7: He was so mad at me.
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the Patriots had it until they did.
• 11:22
  Speaker 7: He called me a 12.
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well.
• 11:23
  Speaker 4: I'm like, well, regardless of whether I root for the Seahawks,
• 11:28
  Speaker 4: I hate the Patriots.
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: And you've doubled down on them now in the last
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: two Seahawks games, beating them twice.
• 11:33
  Speaker 7: Yes, I sure have.
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: Cooper Kopp. You'll hear from him as well. He talked
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: about what I asked him about was the belief of
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: this team and how belief gets them through games like
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: that when they have no points deep into the third quarter.
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: And Cup jumped all over that question. He loved to
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: talk about the belief this team has and says, you
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: know what? In the NFL, there are teams at the
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: end of games who either think they're going to win
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: or who are trying to figure out how they're going
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: to lose and expect to lose. And it's about expectations.
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: And he said the Seahawks expect to win. And they've
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: been there enough to know that in the end of
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: the games, they're going to find a way to win
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: a game like that when it's not pretty and it
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: hasn't gone their way and they're starting quarterbacks injured. You'll
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: hear from Cooper Cup at 11 o'clock. You'll hear from
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: Drew Locke. How does he stay ready when he never
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: practices the plays?
• 12:16
  Speaker 7: Dude, can you not love that guy anymore?
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: He's done it well. The last two meaningful games he's
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: played for the Seahawks. Remember, he had the 2024, he
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: went to the Giants, and he became a fill-in starter
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: for Daniel Jones in New York, and it didn't go well.
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: And the Seahawks signed him back. He didn't play at
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: all last year because Darnold was so great. The last
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: meaningful snaps he had for the Seahawks, do you remember?
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: The Monday night game in December of 2023 against the
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: defending champion Eagles.
• 12:42
  Speaker 7: Honestly, I didn't remember.
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: And he lit them up, and he won a two-minute
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: drill at the end of the game that beat the
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: Eagles and upset on Monday night for that team, the
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: 23 team, that ended up getting Pete Carroll fired. That
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: was the last time he came in unprepared when Geno
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: Smith was injured and Locke had to start. So I
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: asked Locke last night, how do you stay when you
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: don't practice any of the plays? Again, in the NFL,
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: the backup quarterback runs the scout team plays. The starting
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: quarterback gets all of the reps. I mean, all as 100%
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: of the game plan reps. How do you stay ready?
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: He told me about a whiteboard that he has at
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: his bedside. Well, first he said, I draw the plays.
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: And I thought to myself, and I said to him,
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: you literally draw them? And he said, Greg, literally draw them.
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: I have a whiteboard next to my bed. And with
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: his wife there of three and a half years.
• 13:34
  Speaker 7: I was going to say, doesn't he have kids too?
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: Two kids. Two and a half and six months. They're
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: exhausted from being parents of two and a half year
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: olds and a six month old. They climb into bed.
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: He said he turns to his wife, says, I love you, honey,
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: gives her a kiss and then goes to his whiteboard.
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: And he said most days he has to erase the
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: whiteboard because his wife had spent the entire day while
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: he was at work entertaining their two and a half
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: year old and letting him draw and doodle all over
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: the whiteboard. And he said it's a really cool reminder
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: for him every day that when he wipes off the whiteboard,
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: why he's doing what he does.
• 14:08
  Speaker 7: Oh, my gosh.
• 14:10
  Speaker 4: That reminds me of that Simpsons episode where, you know,
• 14:14
  Speaker 4: he said, do it for her when, you know, he
• 14:16
  Speaker 4: covered up all this.
• 14:19
  Speaker 7: Yeah, things with pictures of Maggie anyway.
• 14:22
  Speaker 4: But it also reminds me of my own childhood because
• 14:25
  Speaker 4: I always had a marble notebook in elementary school. You know,
• 14:30
  Speaker 4: you do your homework in there or whatever, take notes,
• 14:32
  Speaker 4: whatever you're supposed to do. I Unfortunately, I can't remember
• 14:36
  Speaker 4: exactly why I had a marble notebook, but my dad
• 14:39
  Speaker 4: would show me plays when he.
• 14:43
  Speaker 7: Came home from work.
• 14:44
  Speaker 4: You know, God bless my mother for spending so much
• 14:48
  Speaker 4: time with us during the day. But he would come
• 14:50
  Speaker 4: home and show me plays. So I had X's and
• 14:53
  Speaker 4: O's and my dad could make the perfect circles with
• 14:56
  Speaker 4: the O's. And he would draw plays in the back
• 15:00
  Speaker 4: of my notebook.
• 15:01
  Speaker 7: And one time my teacher found it. And was like,
• 15:04
  Speaker 7: what is this?
• 15:05
  Speaker 4: I'm like, well, that's a wide receiver route, actually. Just
• 15:10
  Speaker 4: so you know, that is a two tight end set.
• 15:13
  Speaker 7: And yeah.
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: For those of you who don't know, Jessamyn's father was
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: a college coach at Hofstra University in Long Island where
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: they grew up. That's why her dad would have plays on.
• 15:24
  Speaker 7: And Stony Brook.
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: And Stony Brook.
• 15:26
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 15:26
  Speaker 7: But when I was growing up, he was at Hofstra.
• 15:28
  Speaker 12: Yes.
• 15:28
  Speaker 6: Yes.
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: At 11 o'clock, you'll hear from Drew Locke, and you'll
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: hear his story about the whiteboard that I was talking
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: to him about. I wrote that story this morning at thenewstribune.com.
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: At 11.30, we'll read back your text. We'll have talkbacks
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: if you want to give a 30-second message or shorter.
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: We'll play those back at 11.30 at the Tacoma Dodge
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: text line 49451, where I've already asked, what's your first
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: impressions of the Seahawks, of new offensive coordinator Brian Fleury?
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: Of Jadarian Price. I've got some opinions about Price that
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: came out in, like, the first quarter. Like, give him
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: the ball, please, repeatedly, instead of once every quarter, once
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: every drive. I mean, it was like lightning strikes that
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: he was getting the ball. Give him the rock.
• 16:06
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: Especially with a backup quarterback in there. Just feed him
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: time and time again. See where you go.
• 16:11
  Speaker 4: I thought when Drew came in that that would be
• 16:13
  Speaker 4: the predominant thing that we saw.
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: Should have been. He seemed to get lost in the game,
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: and there was too much in Brian Flory's mind last night.
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: I asked Mike McDonald after the game about the usage
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: of Price and how fits and spurts it was. You'll
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: hear from Mike McDonald as well during the show. 11.35,
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: it's our chance at a Factor Fiction. Your chance to
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: match wits with us. Thanks to the Lucky Eagle Casino
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: and Hotel, you get a chance to win $ 1, 000 this
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: week in Factor Fiction. Our next pick is at 11.35.
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: Jessamyn will have that.
• 16:44
  Speaker 7: Oh, my gosh.
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: I have a pick. It's the NFL, and I'd give
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: you that hint, but that's about it.
• 16:50
  Speaker 7: Yeah, because even I don't know what I'm going.
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: To do yet. That's at 11.45, of course. Anne Furness
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: will join us to talk about what he's got going
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: on on the show. So, yeah, Price needs the ball.
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: My takeaway for the offensive part of the game is
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: let's see Jadarian Price more than one draft. He earns
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: for 13 yards on the first play on a really
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: decisive cut on outside zone. And then he didn't get
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: the ball the rest of the drive. That's the drive
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: that Arnold got sacked and injured on the last play
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: of the drive. Comes into the next drive, he has
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: a 12-yard run. Didn't see him again. And then he
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: had an 8-yard run for a first down late in
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: the first quarter, or actually early second. He had a
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: late-yard run for a first down going right to the
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: left second quarter. And then I'm thinking, okay, now's your chance.
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: I even put it on Twitter. Here's the time. Just
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: give the price of the ball repeatedly. After the 8-yard
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: run for a first down, you know what they did?
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: They dropped back to pass, and Locke got sacked. And
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: then there was a penalty. Drive ruined. Price didn't get
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: the ball again. Give him the ball. Repeatedly. I mean,
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: I understood the bubble wrap in the preseason, but were
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: they bubble wrapping him last night? I like George Helani
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: as a back, and I think he's got a great
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: purpose on this team, especially on third down. I saw
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: too much of George Helani last night. They got into
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: the red zone, and Price disappeared. Just gone in the
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: third quarter. They get in the red zone late in
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: the third quarter. Price helped get him there with a
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: couple runs, and then he was gone.
• 18:18
  Speaker 7: Do you think that's strategic, though?
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: Well, I think I know that the pass concepts and
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: the formations are Holani's right now. And we've talked about
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: Price's gain that he has to make in pass blocking.
• 18:31
  Speaker 7: Yeah, you were talking about him getting eased into this offense.
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: But not in the run game and not when your
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: starting quarterback is hurt. That's when you've got to lean
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: on your lead back. And I don't know if it's
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: that they don't think he's up to it physically yet
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: and want to work him in. This is a regular
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: season now. Let's go. There's only 17 of these. And
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: this is why you drafted this guy. I think McDonald,
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: when he looks at the film this morning, will say,
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: Brian Flair, I know your hands got tied. First time
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: ever doing this and you lose your starting quarterback on
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: the fifth play. But can we feed No. 8 the
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: ball a little more regularly? And so it's not a
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: fit and spurts thing? I talked to Price after the
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: game about that. I said, how hard, and I try
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: not to have him throw a play caller into the bus,
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: but I said, how difficult is it to get into
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: a flow of the game when you run for 13
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: yards and then you don't see the ball or the
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: field for the rest of the drive? 12 yards, don't see.
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: He said, you know what? The whole offense was sputtering
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: in that way because of our penalties, the five pre-start
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: penalties they had, false starts, delay of games, the illegal
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: shift when they changed the play and Cup didn't get
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: set in time on what would have been a Cup
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: touchdown pass. He said, we couldn't get out of our
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: own way for the first three quarters because And that
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: made everything sputter, including his production and his opportunities. Once
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: they get behind the sticks, it seemed flurry. So, okay,
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: we're not going to run our new rookie first round
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: pick anymore. And so it went for the first... basically
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: three quarters. But man, I would love to have seen
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: a series of just number eight three times and see
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: how far they get. He was averaging seven yards a carry,
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: yet had only six carries into the third quarter. Their
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: first 30 plays, Jessamyn, he had seven rushes. fewer than
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: one-third of the time he was getting the ball. That's
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: not what a lead back in the first round should be.
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: In an outside zone system predicated on the run, your
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: outside back should be at least a third, if not higher,
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: of a percentage of plays.
• 20:22
  Speaker 4: I always wonder about the chess game when it comes
• 20:24
  Speaker 4: to football, too. Is that what you're expecting? And so
• 20:28
  Speaker 4: we're going to throw something different at you because you
• 20:32
  Speaker 4: can ramp that up when he's ready to just be
• 20:35
  Speaker 4: able to take what they're expecting and I don't know.
• 20:40
  Speaker 4: That's just like Marshawn Lynch, right? Let's go back to that.
• 20:43
  Speaker 4: He is ready for the rumble. And perhaps Price, they
• 20:49
  Speaker 4: are trying to just give him some time to learn
• 20:52
  Speaker 4: this and explore some other options on the offense.
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: Maybe so, but how are they going to know what
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: he's ready for if they don't give him the opportunity?
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: I mean, how do they know if he's ready for
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: every down carries if they don't give him a chance
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: to carry it every down? That was the mystery of
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: the game to me through three quarters is how sporadic
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: and just, it was like spasms of, Oh, here's Jadarian
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: Price again. See you later.
• 21:14
  Speaker 4: I just, I haven't seen a rookie back thrown into
• 21:17
  Speaker 4: a situation like that very often.
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: Well, yeah. And usually a rookie back has some preseason
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: games to kind of get acclimated to things.
• 21:23
  Speaker 7: And he didn't even have that.
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: I would expect far more than six rushes in the
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: first 26 snaps into the third quarter for Price in
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: the next game. This is September the 20th at Arizona.
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: Up next, we'll go to the wide receiver that got
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: him back. Jackson Smith and Jigba did Jackson Smith and
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: Jigba things to tie the game last night. You'll hear
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: from the receiver and All-Pro and Offensive Player of the
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: Year next. You'll also hear from Cooper Cupp, some Mike
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: McDonald late last night, Drew Locke at 11 o'clock, and
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: then 11.35, Factor Fiction, a chance to win $ 1, 000 from
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: Lucky Eagle Casino and Hotel. We already gave you the
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: latest on Sam Donald. We'll review that again from this
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: morning next on 93.3 KJR FM. This is for you, Greg.
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: That's my Kurt Gowdy childhood again, the NBC Sports NFL.
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: I think they did it for baseball, too, which also
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: was Kurt Gowdy back in the 70s. Yeah, I'm so old,
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: I know Kurt Gowdy from NBC, and I know this
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: old NBC intro song, not the new one they have. NBC,
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: last night you heard Mike Tirico on the call.
• 22:45
  Speaker 7: That's why I go old school for you.
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: I appreciate that. That's like watching Terry Bradshaw, Mean Joe Green,
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: Franco Harris, and the Steelers growing up outside Pittsburgh with
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: Kurt Gowdy on the call. That's what the NBC NFL... 70.
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: I know some of you on the text line remember that.
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: I know they do. I can't be the only one
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: who remembers that.
• 23:02
  Speaker 4: Oh, they will. They can and they will. Also, give
• 23:05
  Speaker 4: me your talkbacks because I want.
• 23:07
  Speaker 7: To hear from it.
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: That's at 1130. We'll play those back and read back
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: your texts on the Tacoma Dodge text line. We're already
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: having a bunch of texts in about the Seahawks game
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: last night, including one saying he hasn't even played football
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: since November and 253 says, you're so weird. It's game
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: one in all caps. He's a rookie, dude. Are you serious?
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: Thank you. I'm well aware of that. It's his first
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: game in 10 months. We talked about this. We're going
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: to have overreaction Thursday after a Wednesday game because one
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: game is all we have to go on. And I
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: think that that is what the Seahawks are going to
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: try to do in week two to improve upon offensively
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: is to give Price the ball more. That's all. Jackson
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: Smith and Jigba, it's never wrong when they give him
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: the ball. Five of the first seven completed passes in
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: last night's game were to Jackson Smith and Jigba, and
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: why not? He tied the game for them 10-10 on
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: a fourth and one play. This was him last night
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: after the game.
• 24:00
  Speaker 13: Good to see you guys.
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: What a game.
• 24:03
  Speaker 13: All glory to God. It's great to be here with
• 24:05
  Speaker 13: a new season, new team. Energy was great. Shout out
• 24:09
  Speaker 13: to the 12s. What an incredible game. I think a
• 24:14
  Speaker 13: testament to our team. Just having each other's back, offense,
• 24:17
  Speaker 13: special teams, defense, never wavering. Understanding that it's a four-quarter game,
• 24:23
  Speaker 13: and that's why I love this team so much, and
• 24:24
  Speaker 13: I'm super proud of them.
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: Jackson obviously sam going out that quickly was a big
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: hit how did you guys handle that and how did.
• 24:31
  Speaker 13: You get behind yeah yeah it's tough it's tough losing
• 24:35
  Speaker 13: 14 i mean he's the the head of the snake
• 24:37
  Speaker 13: but we have each other's backs like i said you
• 24:40
  Speaker 13: know we fully trust in drew lock to come in
• 24:43
  Speaker 13: and do his thing um done it time and time
• 24:45
  Speaker 13: again so um we just have to have each other's
• 24:48
  Speaker 13: back like i like i'm saying and um And like
• 24:51
  Speaker 13: I said, I'm just super proud of everybody.
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: Can you talk about the play call from Brian Fleury
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: on fourth down and what happened on that play?
• 24:59
  Speaker 13: Yeah, I was happy it was a pass play. And
• 25:02
  Speaker 13: they thought it was a run. I believe they sent
• 25:05
  Speaker 13: a blitz. My job was to find the zone, and
• 25:07
  Speaker 13: Drew did a great job finding me. And then after that,
• 25:10
  Speaker 13: just do what I do, just, you know, Try to
• 25:14
  Speaker 13: get upfield, protect the ball, and great upfield blocking by
• 25:19
  Speaker 13: our tight ends. That's something that we preach heavily each week.
• 25:24
  Speaker 13: We call it eat, and it showed up to life.
• 25:27
  Speaker 11: Jack, what was Drew like in the huddle tonight?
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: Very confident. Drew's a ball player.
• 25:32
  Speaker 13: I mean, you know, he comes in and demands the huddle,
• 25:35
  Speaker 13: and he wants.
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: To sling, throw the ball around.
• 25:38
  Speaker 13: So, like I said, full confidence in two.
• 25:41
  Speaker 14: When your defense makes that play to win the game
• 25:43
  Speaker 14: and you have to watch out the sideline, they've.
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: Done that a lot.
• 25:46
  Speaker 6: So how unsurprising was it and what was kind of
• 25:47
  Speaker 6: your response to seeing that?
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: Oh, man.
• 25:49
  Speaker 13: I mean, that's something I was praying to see on
• 25:52
  Speaker 13: the sideline, and it came to fruition.
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: And, man.
• 25:58
  Speaker 13: They had our backs you know right there we can
• 26:00
  Speaker 13: always count on our defense best defense in the league
• 26:03
  Speaker 13: um just hard nose and i'm super happy for joe
• 26:06
  Speaker 13: to to excited that i was happy to see him
• 26:09
  Speaker 13: go attack the ball and keep his feet and look
• 26:11
  Speaker 13: like a receiver out there jackson.
• 26:12
  Speaker 15: A number of procedure penalties for you guys tonight during
• 26:15
  Speaker 15: the game you.
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: Know stuff on the ball and such how did you
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: kind of see you guys work through that and still
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: find a way to be able to come out with
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: us one in the end Yeah, that's on us.
• 26:24
  Speaker 13: That's on the players.
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: That's on the offense.
• 26:26
  Speaker 13: I'll take accountability for that. We have to be better.
• 26:31
  Speaker 13: We have to be better. No ifs, ands, or buts.
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: No excuses.
• 26:35
  Speaker 13: But first game, we'll grow from this, and we'll watch
• 26:40
  Speaker 13: the film and learn where we can get better, and
• 26:41
  Speaker 13: that's how the great teams become great.
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: How big was the belief you guys have built over
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: the last couple of years coming into play?
• 26:50
  Speaker 13: Oh, man, huge belief. Going into the game, I know
• 26:54
  Speaker 13: our defense is going to give us the ball and
• 26:56
  Speaker 13: give us opportunities, and that's the best feeling to be,
• 27:00
  Speaker 13: for me, in the offense, just having that belief that
• 27:04
  Speaker 13: defense has our back. Special teams are going to go
• 27:05
  Speaker 13: out there and do their job. It's not all on me.
• 27:07
  Speaker 13: We have Cooper Cupp making big plays. We have Shee
• 27:10
  Speaker 13: making big plays. The young rookie was towing the rock tonight,
• 27:14
  Speaker 13: and it's a team effort, and That's what gives me
• 27:18
  Speaker 13: the calmness and the spirit to just go out there
• 27:22
  Speaker 13: and just do what I do.
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: You go against Josh Jobe and you might purchase a practice,
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: and not as many people know those names. Can you
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: talk about what they bring to the game?
• 27:30
  Speaker 13: Oh, man, going against the defense, you know, all the camp,
• 27:33
  Speaker 13: it was hell, especially going against Josh Jobe and his
• 27:36
  Speaker 13: press technique and his just his awareness of the game
• 27:41
  Speaker 13: and the position that he plays on the other side.
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: He got spooned.
• 27:44
  Speaker 13: Nehemiah Pritchard had a hell of a game today coming
• 27:46
  Speaker 13: up with a big time pick leading to a score. So,
• 27:51
  Speaker 13: you know, going against them just just makes our our
• 27:54
  Speaker 13: offense just and me a ton better. And so I'm
• 27:58
  Speaker 13: happy those guys are Seahawks for sure.
• 28:00
  Speaker 15: Jackson, I don't know where you were on the sideline,
• 28:02
  Speaker 15: but the hit Julian had to start the second half
• 28:04
  Speaker 15: on Hunter, like what that.
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: Do for the sideline? Oh, electric, electric.
• 28:08
  Speaker 13: I mean, we want to feed the crowd big plays and,
• 28:12
  Speaker 13: and we want the crowd on our side. We have
• 28:15
  Speaker 13: the best fans in the world, so we have to
• 28:16
  Speaker 13: use them. And, Whenever you get a chance to pump
• 28:19
  Speaker 13: up the crowd and make a big play and let
• 28:22
  Speaker 13: the other team know, it's a benefit for us.
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: I apologize if you were asked.
• 28:25
  Speaker 10: This, but fourth and one, that's a situation where a
• 28:27
  Speaker 10: lot of times you guys go to the A.J.
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: Barner touch points. What did you think of the decision
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: to put the ball in Drew's hands there? Like I said, I.
• 28:36
  Speaker 13: Love throwing the ball on fourth and short and third
• 28:39
  Speaker 13: and short. There's a lot of space out there, and
• 28:41
  Speaker 13: I think Drew, like I said, did an incredible job
• 28:44
  Speaker 13: just finding me and making the right play.
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: What was the message at halftime?
• 28:49
  Speaker 13: The message at halftime was, man, we knew coming in
• 28:52
  Speaker 13: it was going to be a four-quarter game. And that's
• 28:56
  Speaker 13: who we are.
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: We're going to fight.
• 28:58
  Speaker 13: We know it's going to be a dogfight, and we
• 29:00
  Speaker 13: love it. And whatever it looks like in the first half,
• 29:04
  Speaker 13: second quarter, we're going to make it right. We're going
• 29:06
  Speaker 13: to keep fighting until the clock hits 10. triple zero
• 29:09
  Speaker 13: so um so i was just happy to to see
• 29:13
  Speaker 13: that and to see that continue going forward this year
• 29:17
  Speaker 13: we've got.
• 29:17
  Speaker 5: A lot of guys you got 10 at one point
• 29:20
  Speaker 5: what does it.
• 29:20
  Speaker 13: Say about this team like i said i mean we
• 29:23
  Speaker 13: we don't waver we don't run from adversity um that's
• 29:26
  Speaker 13: just not the guys that we are that's not who
• 29:29
  Speaker 13: this team is we we love it we make it
• 29:32
  Speaker 13: right we just fight play after play after play like
• 29:34
  Speaker 13: this is a dog fight and and we know that
• 29:37
  Speaker 13: and you know We're agreeing. of guys that keep our
• 29:40
  Speaker 13: heads down and then look up, like I said, when
• 29:42
  Speaker 13: it's triple zeros on the clock and, and, um, it's
• 29:45
  Speaker 13: been good for us.
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: What should people know about Drew Locke as a player
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: and a competitor?
• 29:49
  Speaker 13: He's a playmaker. Um, he's a playmaker. He loves, he
• 29:53
  Speaker 13: loves to be out there and ball out. You know,
• 29:55
  Speaker 13: you can, you can just see it on them and
• 29:57
  Speaker 13: it's affectionate, um, affectionate, uh, whatever on the team and
• 30:01
  Speaker 13: like that.
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: And, uh, you can feel it.
• 30:04
  Speaker 13: And, um, it's, it's exciting, you know, to see him
• 30:08
  Speaker 13: ball out and throw it around and demand a huddle.
• 30:15
  Speaker 13: He ran tough, man. He ran tough and I'm super.
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: Proud of him.
• 30:19
  Speaker 13: I thought it was a great first game. That first
• 30:22
  Speaker 13: run had a lot of juice in it and he's
• 30:24
  Speaker 13: just going to keep building. I'm excited to see how
• 30:28
  Speaker 13: far he grows throughout the season.
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: Jackson, it's a long season. The two best teams in
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: the league may be in your division again. How much
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: different is it watching tomorrow night's game with W pulling
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: this out of the fire than it would have been
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: the other way? One more time, sorry. How important is
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: it to get this win when you can watch two
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: teams tomorrow?
• 30:45
  Speaker 13: Oh, yeah. I mean, these days off is always better
• 30:48
  Speaker 13: with a win. And sit back, relax, you know, get
• 30:51
  Speaker 13: to watch Sunday football, the game on tomorrow. I love,
• 30:55
  Speaker 13: I'm an NFL fan, so... I love to watch ball
• 30:58
  Speaker 13: and see where other teams are at. So we'll take
• 31:01
  Speaker 13: advantage of these days off and get better.
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: I absolutely love the Kirk Gowdy music. Thank you, Jessamyn.
• 31:11
  Speaker 7: Thank you. I do it for you.
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: I used to lay out every stitch of Steeler things
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: I owned in front of the television when I watched
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: Steeler games as a little kid. I'm talking when I
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: was four years old. The first memory I have of
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: football is Super Bowl IXs. When the Steelers beat the
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: Vikings 16-6.
• 31:28
  Speaker 7: Well, you and Mr. Kosla have a lot in common then.
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: Yes. I talked to him about that yesterday. Good. And
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: he was at Carnegie Mellon University in 1976, which is
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: why he liked Steelers in Pittsburgh, Carnegie Mellon in Pittsburgh.
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: And I joked with him. I said, you couldn't even
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: breathe in Pittsburgh without being a Steeler fan in the 70s.
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: Of course, you couldn't even breathe either because of the
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: steel mills.
• 31:48
  Speaker 7: Well, yeah, we won't.
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: You couldn't even see the sun in the 60s and
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: 70s in Pittsburgh. Yeah, I've heard. Because of the soot
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: from the mills. But, yeah, Vinod Kozla and I were
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: joking about how the Steelers were so omnipotent. There's another
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: one of your words for you.
• 32:01
  Speaker 7: Oh, hold on.
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: I got it. No, no, no.
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 32:11
  Speaker 7: I use big words, too.
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: But that was Jackson Smith and Jigba last night. Thank you.
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: Austin Powers. What's the other one? Kill Bill. Kill Bill. Yes.
• 32:21
  Speaker 4: Well, so I did have, just so people know, my
• 32:23
  Speaker 4: nerd alert alarm. I had regular alarms, but it sounds
• 32:27
  Speaker 4: like every single.
• 32:28
  Speaker 7: One of them could be on someone's phone to wake up.
• 32:32
  Speaker 4: And so I really didn't want to jar our audience
• 32:34
  Speaker 4: with like give them PTSD from waking up in the morning.
• 32:38
  Speaker 7: So I use Kill Bill because it's a little more soothing.
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: Oh.
• 32:41
  Speaker 7: Even though she's about to murder everyone.
• 32:43
  Speaker 4: But it's not something you wake up to every day.
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: Well, yeah, there's that.
• 32:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: Well, Jackson Smith and Jigba last night, and again, the
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: fourth and one play. What was so interesting about that
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: was that how many times in the last two seasons,
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: including in the first half last night, when it was
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: fourth and one, did they run the Barnard push, the
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: tush push with Barnard direct snap, That's all they've done
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: in fourth and one. And they called timeout last night
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: down 10-3 with 12 minutes left. The ball's at the
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: plus 45 on fourth and one. And they said, you
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: know what, Drew Locke? I know you haven't practiced at
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: all this week. I know you've only been the scout
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: team quarterback. We're going to give you the ball to
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: throw it on fourth and one with the game on
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: the line down seven with 12 minutes left. And he did.
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: And he took his time, got good pass protection from
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: the offensive line. That generally did well in pass protection
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: last night. There were a couple times the Patriots Got
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: him on a couple stunts and blitzes and cross games inside.
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: But gave Locke the time to look at his third receiver.
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: It's not often on fourth and one when the line
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: of scrimmage is crowded, you have time for three looks.
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: And Smith and Jacob was a third look on that play.
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: And again, Drew Locke saying, we didn't even practice that play.
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: That wasn't one of the primary ones in this week's playbook.
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: What happens is you have a playbook. You have a
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: game plan of plays you think is going to work
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: against what the Patriots will give you. But as we
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: talked about, game one's a wild card if you don't
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: know exactly what you're going to get. And they went
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: with something that was from the deep installs back from
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: the spring and early summer, and it turned out to
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: be the tying touchdown. 4-9-4-5-1, the Cohen-Dodge text line. Your
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: reaction to everything Seahawks last night. Brian Fleury's first night
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: as an offensive play caller. Drew Locke coming off the
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: bench and out of mothballs. and Sam Darnold, the prognosis. Again,
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: if you missed the news from the top of the show,
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: Mike McDonald this morning on his coach's show saying that
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: the Seahawks are, quote, not worrying about Sam Darnold's injury,
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: but when asked whether it will be games or even
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: the next game at Arizona in 10 days that Drew
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: Locke plays, Mike McDonald said that's his hunch, that Drew
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: Locke will start that game, but he said that may
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: be just a hedge, meaning he's maybe just saying that
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: because he doesn't know, but... When the coach says that,
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: he wouldn't have said that if he did not reasonably.
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: This is a hip injury that will cost Sam Darnold
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: at least the next game at Arizona in week two.
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: Up next, we're going to introduce something that we're bringing
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: back to KJR. Long-time listeners might remember that we had
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: a varsity football scoreboard show on Friday nights, 10 to
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: 11 p.m. It's coming back this week, thanks to Dick Fane.
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: He's going to talk about it next. It's part of
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: our High school football Friday focused. We already had it
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: last week. We talked to high school coaches, the big
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: game of the week. This week, Liberty and Issaquah is
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: the matchup that we're going to be talking to their
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: coaches for on Friday. Mike Benton's going to do that tomorrow.
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: Dick's up next to talk about his high school Friday
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: night scoreboard show we're going to have this week on
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: 93.3 KJRFM. Hi, welcome back. Greg Bell, Justin McIntyre with
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: you as we are every weekday, 10 a.m. to noon
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: on 93.3 KJR FM. We're in the hard rock section
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: of the show. That must mean Dick Fane is on
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: the line somewhere. He's going to be on the Beacon
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: Plumbing Hotline in a moment to tell us about a
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: new high school football scoreboard show. We're going to bring back,
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: I was going to say new, but we're going to
• 36:43
  Speaker 2: bring it back. You can also remember way back when,
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: when we had Varsity Football Live. I think that was
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: the title of it back on KJR, way back when. Well,
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: we're bringing it back. Starting tomorrow, piggybacking on the fact
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: that we have high school football coaches in a game
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: of the week featured every Friday. Tomorrow's going to be
• 36:59
  Speaker 2: Issaquah against Liberty. Yeah, I hear you. Why isn't it
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: Bellevue and Puyallup? We've got Bellevue and Puyallup scheduled later
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: in the season. I know Bellevue for a fact. And
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: we're trying to spread it around to not have multiple teams.
• 37:13
  Speaker 2: I mean, honestly, you could put Bellevue or Eastside Catholic
• 37:16
  Speaker 2: or O'Day every week. or Lake Stevens, or Graham Kapowsin
• 37:20
  Speaker 2: like we did last week. Pretty much every week, they're
• 37:22
  Speaker 2: the top teams in the state. We're trying to spread
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: it around a little bit. But yeah, Puyallup and Bellevue,
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: another big, big game in western Washington tomorrow. Dick Fane
• 37:31
  Speaker 2: is going to be on our air tomorrow night talking
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: about all the high school football games and a return
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: of the show. Dick is on the Beacon Plumbing Hotline
• 37:39
  Speaker 2: right now. Tell us what's up, man. I'm glad to
• 37:41
  Speaker 2: bring this back. Thanks for joining us.
• 37:43
  Speaker 9: Oh yeah.
• 37:44
  Speaker 2: It's back to the future, man.
• 37:46
  Speaker 14: Um, we did varsity football live for.
• 37:49
  Speaker 2: Almost 20 years.
• 37:51
  Speaker 14: Um, kind of got killed by COVID, uh, like a
• 37:54
  Speaker 14: COVID killed a lot of different traditions and, uh, we
• 37:57
  Speaker 14: decided to bring it back. And what the coolest thing
• 38:00
  Speaker 14: about it for me is that we've got all of
• 38:03
  Speaker 14: our former trip around the state guys, our reporters from
• 38:06
  Speaker 14: around the state of Washington that, uh, just live and
• 38:09
  Speaker 14: breathe and sleep high school football in their regions of
• 38:12
  Speaker 14: the state.
• 38:13
  Speaker 2: And we've got them all back.
• 38:14
  Speaker 14: So it's really, really cool. It's for those of you
• 38:17
  Speaker 14: that love varsity football live for those almost 20 years on,
• 38:21
  Speaker 14: on Friday nights on what was nine 50 KJR. Now
• 38:24
  Speaker 14: is our first case on a 93.3 from a 10
• 38:27
  Speaker 14: to 11 every Friday.
• 38:28
  Speaker 2: So tell us Dick, what's the format of the show?
• 38:31
  Speaker 2: Are you taking Collins? How do you get the information?
• 38:33
  Speaker 2: Are you subscribing to a ticker of scores? How is
• 38:36
  Speaker 2: this all going to go down? And are you just,
• 38:38
  Speaker 2: Are you just listing scores? Are you going to have
• 38:39
  Speaker 2: a co-host or a guest, or what are you doing?
• 38:42
  Speaker 14: Yeah, so I think I'm going to be kind of
• 38:45
  Speaker 14: like the Scott Hansen, right? It's going to be like
• 38:48
  Speaker 14: NFL Red Zone. It's going to be like high school
• 38:50
  Speaker 14: Red Zone, and instead of going to a live game
• 38:53
  Speaker 14: action like Scott does on the NFL Red Zone, we're
• 38:56
  Speaker 14: going to be going to reporters that have just finished
• 38:58
  Speaker 14: reporting Usually calling the game, most of these guys are
• 39:01
  Speaker 14: play-by-play guys that have just finished calling the game. Some
• 39:03
  Speaker 14: of them are newspaper reporters that have just finished up
• 39:07
  Speaker 14: in the locker room talking to the kids, talking to
• 39:09
  Speaker 14: the coaches and everything. But the format will be basically
• 39:12
  Speaker 14: the same as what we had. before except what we
• 39:15
  Speaker 14: had before was a 90 minute show so we won't
• 39:17
  Speaker 14: have quite as long a coach's interview interview but we'll
• 39:20
  Speaker 14: uh you know we're going to start with trip around
• 39:22
  Speaker 14: the state uh we'll get about five or six guys
• 39:26
  Speaker 14: for about three minutes a piece hammer through their their
• 39:29
  Speaker 14: areas of the, of the state, the game that they
• 39:31
  Speaker 14: were calling, and then also the scores that they have
• 39:33
  Speaker 14: from their areas. And then we'll go into a coach's
• 39:36
  Speaker 14: interview that I'll conduct each and every week. with some
• 39:39
  Speaker 14: of the great coaches in the state. And then we'll
• 39:41
  Speaker 14: wrap things up with a comprehensive scoreboard. And you can
• 39:44
  Speaker 14: follow along. This is going to be also streamed on
• 39:46
  Speaker 14: the finalscore.tv. So you mentioned, Dana, where are we going
• 39:50
  Speaker 14: to get all the scores? We're getting our scores on finalscore.tv.
• 39:53
  Speaker 14: It's the number one place to go for all these.
• 39:56
  Speaker 14: So you can get your scores there. You can also,
• 39:59
  Speaker 14: you know, we've got all sorts of coaches and player
• 40:02
  Speaker 14: interviews that I've already conducted over the last month or
• 40:05
  Speaker 14: so populated up on the final score dot TV. So
• 40:08
  Speaker 14: you can look at any of those interviews as well.
• 40:10
  Speaker 14: So final score dot TV, and we're going to stream.
• 40:13
  Speaker 2: Live as well.
• 40:13
  Speaker 14: So you get to see my ugly mug every Friday
• 40:15
  Speaker 14: from 10 to 11 as well. If you would just
• 40:17
  Speaker 14: want to, you just want to watch the stream on
• 40:19
  Speaker 14: the final score dot TV. So from somewhere, either in
• 40:21
  Speaker 14: my wife's office or the basement.
• 40:25
  Speaker 2: So, so we did this for 20. I didn't realize
• 40:28
  Speaker 2: it was that long, 20 some years. Yeah, it was
• 40:31
  Speaker 2: almost 20 years.
• 40:31
  Speaker 14: I think it was like 2000 to, to, you know,
• 40:34
  Speaker 14: right up, right up to COVID time. So, uh, it's, uh, it, it,
• 40:38
  Speaker 14: it was just kind of a, a passion that I have. And, and,
• 40:40
  Speaker 14: you know, I was coaching all through that time as
• 40:43
  Speaker 14: well at Mount Rainier and I've kind of come full
• 40:45
  Speaker 14: circle as, as you know, I, uh, you know, when
• 40:47
  Speaker 14: my kids were young and I coached my son in
• 40:49
  Speaker 14: basketball all the way up through, well, now he's in
• 40:51
  Speaker 14: high school again.
• 40:52
  Speaker 2: So guess what?
• 40:52
  Speaker 14: I'm coaching the Mount Rainier basketball team again. So I,
• 40:54
  Speaker 14: so I'm feeling, uh, much more connected. You know, I
• 40:57
  Speaker 14: was very connected with high school sports while I was coaching,
• 41:00
  Speaker 14: then kind of got out of it a little bit
• 41:02
  Speaker 14: when I was just coaching select ball. And now I'm
• 41:05
  Speaker 14: back involved in high school sports again, because both of
• 41:08
  Speaker 14: my kids are playing high school sports.
• 41:09
  Speaker 2: Well, that's awesome. I mean, hats off to you again,
• 41:13
  Speaker 2: to the platform for high school athletics, for the coaches
• 41:16
  Speaker 2: who spend all this time and get paid a pittance
• 41:18
  Speaker 2: for what they put into it, the kids and the
• 41:21
  Speaker 2: student athletes. That's great. And then Bravo to you, sir.
• 41:24
  Speaker 2: Thank you. Thanks for sharing this. We'll look forward to
• 41:26
  Speaker 2: it starting tomorrow night.
• 41:28
  Speaker 14: You didn't know that the Mount Rainier NIL pays me
• 41:30
  Speaker 14: about 500 grand a year.
• 41:32
  Speaker 2: You didn't know that? I didn't know that. That's quite
• 41:34
  Speaker 2: a big.
• 41:34
  Speaker 7: Get me a job, Dick.
• 41:35
  Speaker 2: That's quite a big half day pass out there. All right.
• 41:38
  Speaker 12: How about that?
• 41:39
  Speaker 2: All right. Well, that explains it. I got it. I
• 41:43
  Speaker 2: totally made sense, though. Thanks, Dick. We'll be listening tomorrow night.
• 41:47
  Speaker 2: Appreciate you. You bet. It'll be fun. Yeah, no problem.
• 41:50
  Speaker 2: Dick Fane is going to be hosting the return... of
• 41:53
  Speaker 2: Varsity Sports Live, Varsity Football Live. What was the title
• 41:57
  Speaker 2: of it again? I think it was Varsity Football Live.
• 41:58
  Speaker 2: That's what we did in the KGR back in the day.
• 42:01
  Speaker 2: And we're bringing it back, starting tomorrow night. So to
• 42:04
  Speaker 2: set our high school football schedule tomorrow at 11 o'clock,
• 42:07
  Speaker 2: Mike Benton will be pinch hitting for me. He's going
• 42:09
  Speaker 2: to talk to the Issaquah and Liberty High School coaches
• 42:12
  Speaker 2: before their game tomorrow night. I love the text line
• 42:16
  Speaker 2: blowing up with, what is the love for Bothell, Puyallup,
• 42:19
  Speaker 2: and Bellevue? Are you guys stupid? Got it. We're going
• 42:21
  Speaker 2: to spread it around.
• 42:22
  Speaker 4: I just like the fact that there's a lot of
• 42:24
  Speaker 4: passion for high school football.
• 42:26
  Speaker 2: Bring it. Bring your criticisms or teams we're picking. Bring it.
• 42:30
  Speaker 2: I just want you to listen and awareness of the
• 42:33
  Speaker 2: high school sports and the coaches and players that are
• 42:35
  Speaker 2: going on around here. We'll do that at 11 o'clock
• 42:36
  Speaker 2: again tomorrow, as we will every Friday at 11 o'clock
• 42:39
  Speaker 2: on our High School Football Friday feature. And then tomorrow night.
• 42:42
  Speaker 2: Varsity Football Live, 10 to 11 with Dick Fane and
• 42:44
  Speaker 2: scores around the state. Interviews and coach, you heard him.
• 42:46
  Speaker 2: He's got interviews, coaches, players. That's great. Awesome. We're trying
• 42:50
  Speaker 2: to do our part here on KJR. Up next, you're
• 42:53
  Speaker 2: hearing from Drew Locke, the man on the white horse
• 42:55
  Speaker 2: who came in last night and won the game in
• 42:58
  Speaker 2: the fourth quarter. He's next on 93.3 KJR FM.
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: Now, from the Star Reynolds Sports Desk, your 93.3 KKRFM
• 43:25
  Speaker 1: Sports Headlines.
• 43:28
  Speaker 2: Good morning. Happy Thursday to you. I think that houseplant's
• 43:30
  Speaker 2: going to quit. They don't have to worry about firing him.
• 43:32
  Speaker 2: I think the problem is Jerry DiPoto, not the houseplant.
• 43:38
  Speaker 7: A ficus at least is tall.
• 43:41
  Speaker 2: Headlines brought to you by Frostbrook Coors Light. As cold
• 43:45
  Speaker 2: as the Rockies. The latest news from this morning from
• 43:47
  Speaker 2: coach Mike McDonald about quarterback Sam Darnold's hip injury. More
• 43:53
  Speaker 2: tested than MRI this morning. Told the Seahawks that it
• 43:57
  Speaker 2: is good, not great news, but he thinks there's nothing
• 44:02
  Speaker 2: to worry about. We're not worrying about Sam Darnold is
• 44:05
  Speaker 2: what Mike McDonald said this morning when asked whether Darnold
• 44:08
  Speaker 2: would play the next game, September 20th at Arizona, the
• 44:11
  Speaker 2: coach said, I'm thinking maybe Drew Locke will play, but
• 44:15
  Speaker 2: maybe that's a hedge. He said, I don't know, but
• 44:18
  Speaker 2: his inclination is that Drew Locke's going to play the
• 44:20
  Speaker 2: next game. So perhaps one game miss, maybe two for
• 44:23
  Speaker 2: Sam Darnold, but it's not a fracture. Last night, CT
• 44:26
  Speaker 2: scan at Harborview Medical Center confirmed that. Backup quarterback Drew
• 44:31
  Speaker 2: Locke entered for Darnold, played the final three and a
• 44:33
  Speaker 2: half quarters with 16 for 22 passing, tying touchdown pass
• 44:36
  Speaker 2: on a fourth and one with 12 minutes left to
• 44:38
  Speaker 2: Jackson Smith and Jigba, 45 yards. That erased all of
• 44:42
  Speaker 2: Seattle's 10-0 deficit to England. Jason Myers kicked a go-ahead
• 44:45
  Speaker 2: field goal with six minutes left. Then Drake May with
• 44:47
  Speaker 2: one of the worst passes an NFL quarterback's ever going
• 44:49
  Speaker 2: to throw, decision-wise and actual physical throw of it. Just
• 44:52
  Speaker 2: a duck thrown up off his back foot as DeMarcus
• 44:55
  Speaker 2: Lawrence ruined the play. Forced May into the interception. Josh Jobe,
• 44:59
  Speaker 2: toe tap inside and The sideline of the end zone
• 45:01
  Speaker 2: with 21 seconds left when the Patriots were in field
• 45:03
  Speaker 2: goal range. Just inexplicable thing. That game should have been
• 45:08
  Speaker 2: in overtime. He could have taken a sack there and
• 45:10
  Speaker 2: they still would have kicked the field goal.
• 45:11
  Speaker 7: I still can't believe he didn't take a sack.
• 45:13
  Speaker 2: That was crazy.
• 45:15
  Speaker 4: I was screaming and I'm going for the Seahawks and
• 45:19
  Speaker 4: I still was like hitting my husband.
• 45:22
  Speaker 7: I'm like, why didn't he take the sack?
• 45:24
  Speaker 2: Everyone in New England is asking that this morning. Seahawks 13,
• 45:26
  Speaker 2: Patriots 10. Again, Seahawks don't play for another 10 days,
• 45:30
  Speaker 2: September 20th at Arizona. The Kozla family yesterday formally introduced
• 45:33
  Speaker 2: in a morning press conference at Lumen Field. I was
• 45:35
  Speaker 2: talking to Neil Kozla and Vinod Kozla afterwards for about
• 45:39
  Speaker 2: 25 minutes or so, and it's pretty obvious. Neil Kozla,
• 45:42
  Speaker 2: 33 years old, the son, is going to be the
• 45:43
  Speaker 2: point man between the ownership group and general manager John
• 45:46
  Speaker 2: Snyder slash John.
• 45:48
  Speaker 4: Yeah, if you listen to that press conference, it's very
• 45:51
  Speaker 4: clear that he is the one that has won the
• 45:56
  Speaker 4: institutional knowledge of football. He has actually done the work
• 46:00
  Speaker 4: to learn about it.
• 46:02
  Speaker 7: I'm not saying his parents don't.
• 46:04
  Speaker 4: I'm just saying that he is and he's a phenomenal
• 46:07
  Speaker 4: communicator as well.
• 46:09
  Speaker 2: He is. He's very outspoken. He's just an affable guy,
• 46:13
  Speaker 2: easy to talk to, and yeah, I had a good
• 46:15
  Speaker 2: conversation with him.
• 46:16
  Speaker 7: He doesn't come off as a suit. How was your conversation?
• 46:20
  Speaker 2: It was very cordial and very breezy. It was like
• 46:24
  Speaker 2: we'd known each other for a while, actually.
• 46:25
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I like that about him.
• 46:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that was our first impression of him yesterday, and
• 46:29
  Speaker 2: it sounds like there'll be many more. Mariners are still playing. 3-2,
• 46:32
  Speaker 2: they beat Texas yesterday at the yard. They're going to
• 46:34
  Speaker 2: play at the yard another matinee. I'm a back-to-back Wednesday-Thursday matinees.
• 46:38
  Speaker 2: It almost never happens. They played yesterday a day game,
• 46:40
  Speaker 2: of course, because the Seahawks were the night game, and
• 46:42
  Speaker 2: then there's a getaway day for Texas today, which is why,
• 46:44
  Speaker 2: and for Seattle, I guess. That is why there's a
• 46:47
  Speaker 2: day game today. Mariners are six games back of the
• 46:49
  Speaker 2: trash cans because the trash cans lost last night, but
• 46:52
  Speaker 2: there's only 17 games left. Math ain't mathin' for the Mariners.
• 46:58
  Speaker 2: Last night. Drew Locke did what he did the last
• 47:01
  Speaker 2: time he played meaningful snaps in the regular season for Seattle,
• 47:04
  Speaker 2: and that was back in December 2023 when he had
• 47:06
  Speaker 2: to start a Monday night game against the defending Super
• 47:08
  Speaker 2: Bowl champion Eagles. He won that game, too. Last night,
• 47:12
  Speaker 2: he comes in like the autumn wind is a raider.
• 47:18
  Speaker 2: The autumn wind is a pirate. I can't do John
• 47:20
  Speaker 2: Vicenda at all.
• 47:21
  Speaker 7: I mean, it's impossible.
• 47:23
  Speaker 2: Do you know how many times when my ears are
• 47:25
  Speaker 2: covering the Raiders that I heard this song?
• 47:27
  Speaker 6: Whew.
• 47:28
  Speaker 2: I'm just playing you today. That is. It's my greatest hits.
• 47:32
  Speaker 2: It also ages me quite a bit. But Drew Locke
• 47:36
  Speaker 2: last night with no preparation, not a single snap of
• 47:39
  Speaker 2: the playbook's game plan for this game. He was just
• 47:42
  Speaker 2: running New England Patriots scout team plays the entire week.
• 47:46
  Speaker 2: So how did he stay sharp? How was he able
• 47:48
  Speaker 2: to get ready for this game when he wasn't running
• 47:50
  Speaker 2: any of the plays in practice? He's got a pretty
• 47:53
  Speaker 2: cool whiteboard story and a pretty cool wife that Puts
• 47:56
  Speaker 2: up with a whiteboard and my wife would be like,
• 47:58
  Speaker 2: what are you doing? Turn off the light.
• 48:00
  Speaker 7: My mom's the same person. So I hear you.
• 48:03
  Speaker 2: We can't even have a TV in our bedroom, which
• 48:04
  Speaker 2: actually I appreciate my wife for.
• 48:06
  Speaker 4: I never had a TV in my bedroom and now
• 48:08
  Speaker 4: my husband needs it.
• 48:10
  Speaker 2: My wife said, no way. And I said, okay, fine.
• 48:12
  Speaker 7: It's actually really better. But yeah, it's better to not
• 48:16
  Speaker 7: have one.
• 48:16
  Speaker 2: All the things I've given up for my wife and
• 48:18
  Speaker 2: I'm glad I did. No meat in the house. No
• 48:21
  Speaker 2: TV in the bedroom.
• 48:22
  Speaker 7: Dual sacrifice when it comes to that.
• 48:24
  Speaker 2: That's right. She's supremely intelligent and an awesome mother and
• 48:28
  Speaker 2: absolutely hot. So I'll take that trade.
• 48:30
  Speaker 7: She is a smoke show.
• 48:31
  Speaker 2: She is a smoke show. I'm kidding. I'm kidding. No,
• 48:34
  Speaker 2: I'm not.
• 48:36
  Speaker 7: No, you're not. Wendy, I've seen you.
• 48:39
  Speaker 2: She's going to kill me for this.
• 48:40
  Speaker 7: She's so fun.
• 48:42
  Speaker 6: She's so fun.
• 48:45
  Speaker 2: She's going to be, what are you talking about me
• 48:46
  Speaker 2: on the radio? I know she's going to say that.
• 48:48
  Speaker 7: Oh yeah.
• 48:48
  Speaker 4: Most wives don't listen because they know their husbands are
• 48:51
  Speaker 4: idiots on the air.
• 48:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they are. Drew Locke last night after his white
• 48:57
  Speaker 2: night heroics, saving the Seahawks in the fourth quarter.
• 49:00
  Speaker 3: Hello.
• 49:03
  Speaker 6: Oh gosh.
• 49:05
  Speaker 3: I don't know if my lifespan loves them as much
• 49:09
  Speaker 3: as I love them in the moment, but yeah, man,
• 49:11
  Speaker 3: there's a blast again. Um, So proud of everybody around
• 49:17
  Speaker 3: me tonight on the offensive side of the ball.
• 49:19
  Speaker 6: Can't say enough about the.
• 49:20
  Speaker 3: Defense forcing the turnovers and it was such an awesome night,
• 49:24
  Speaker 3: but go ahead.
• 49:25
  Speaker 2: The life of a backup quarterback, you don't get reps
• 49:27
  Speaker 2: in the game. How do you stay? We see you
• 49:30
  Speaker 2: out there at the end of practice. How else do
• 49:32
  Speaker 2: you stay ready.
• 49:32
  Speaker 8: For a moment?
• 49:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 49:34
  Speaker 3: Uh, my biggest thing is always just drawing every play
• 49:37
  Speaker 3: as much as I can.
• 49:38
  Speaker 12: Um, Literally drawing.
• 49:41
  Speaker 6: Say that again?
• 49:42
  Speaker 12: Literally drawing.
• 49:42
  Speaker 6: Literally drawing.
• 49:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah.
• 49:44
  Speaker 6: Whiteboard. I've got one next to my bed. I'll do
• 49:48
  Speaker 6: it at night. I'll do it in the morning.
• 49:50
  Speaker 3: And that's just kind of been my thing, being able
• 49:52
  Speaker 3: to visualize it so that when I read it out,
• 49:54
  Speaker 3: it's just there in my head. Because of the lack
• 49:58
  Speaker 3: of reps, you don't get to physically do it. I've
• 50:00
  Speaker 3: got to be able to draw it from somewhere, no
• 50:02
  Speaker 3: pun intended, and drawing it. helps me draw it from somewhere.
• 50:06
  Speaker 15: Mike said the fourth down play, he doesn't think you've
• 50:08
  Speaker 15: ever run that practice.
• 50:10
  Speaker 6: Probably not.
• 50:11
  Speaker 3: Um, it is like a classic football play. Um, but no, no, definitely,
• 50:18
  Speaker 3: definitely never ran it. Um, looked kind of funny before
• 50:21
  Speaker 3: the snap and really seemed like they had anybody ready
• 50:25
  Speaker 3: to match Jax based on what I knew we were
• 50:28
  Speaker 3: about to run.
• 50:28
  Speaker 6: And, um, he's actually ended up being the third read
• 50:31
  Speaker 6: in that play.
• 50:32
  Speaker 3: And, When 11's just standing there, you've got to give
• 50:36
  Speaker 3: him the pill.
• 50:40
  Speaker 2: I mean, you're the number two quarterback.
• 50:42
  Speaker 15: It's four down and short instead of put Varner in
• 50:44
  Speaker 15: to run or whatever.
• 50:46
  Speaker 11: That's sweet.
• 50:47
  Speaker 6: That's sweet.
• 50:48
  Speaker 3: When you hear, like, the digit come in, I'd like
• 50:53
  Speaker 3: to think that I could have, like, all 100 memorized
• 50:55
  Speaker 3: by the time, but no.
• 50:56
  Speaker 6: I'm like, all right, what number is that? Flow seven.
• 50:59
  Speaker 6: Here we go. Let's do it. It was cool. It
• 51:01
  Speaker 6: was awesome.
• 51:02
  Speaker 3: It was kind of one of those, like, Pardon my French,
• 51:06
  Speaker 3: just a little tap on the ass.
• 51:07
  Speaker 6: Like, go get this done, buddy.
• 51:08
  Speaker 2: It was cool. And then your reaction to what Jackson
• 51:11
  Speaker 2: did afterwards.
• 51:12
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 51:12
  Speaker 2: What kind of stance was that?
• 51:15
  Speaker 6: Oh, fantastic. Do the work for me, bud. Go get
• 51:18
  Speaker 6: that thing done.
• 51:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah, just another Jackson moment that doesn't surprise any of us,
• 51:27
  Speaker 3: but turns into a cool highlight reel. Coach Fleury, obviously
• 51:32
  Speaker 3: this is probably.
• 51:33
  Speaker 16: Not the way he was in the first game to go,
• 51:36
  Speaker 16: but how did you see the communication with him go
• 51:38
  Speaker 16: as the game progressed? It seemed like he was getting
• 51:40
  Speaker 16: you some easy opportunities at halftime to kind of get
• 51:43
  Speaker 16: you into a rhythm, get the offense in.
• 51:45
  Speaker 3: No, it was great to get in here at half,
• 51:48
  Speaker 3: put the plays up on the board, talk about our
• 51:50
  Speaker 3: openers coming out of the half, really get those dialed in.
• 51:54
  Speaker 6: I think it's also a little bit of the.
• 51:58
  Speaker 3: Just feeling the flow of the game, getting back into this,
• 52:01
  Speaker 3: finding ways to, in the future, be able to snap
• 52:04
  Speaker 3: into it quicker. That's just the life of a backup. But, yeah, no,
• 52:09
  Speaker 3: he did a fantastic job all night. We need to
• 52:13
  Speaker 3: be a little better on some procedural things.
• 52:15
  Speaker 6: Obviously, that's apparent.
• 52:16
  Speaker 3: You can't go second and inches to whatever we ended
• 52:21
  Speaker 3: up on that drive. Could have came back to bite us,
• 52:23
  Speaker 3: and we've got to get better with that moving forward.
• 52:26
  Speaker 16: Sam, I just talked about how stoic is his words
• 52:28
  Speaker 16: to describe Brian Fleury.
• 52:30
  Speaker 2: Was that the case with Fleury tonight?
• 52:32
  Speaker 6: Sam has said that.
• 52:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 52:33
  Speaker 2: Was that the case tonight? Same thing.
• 52:35
  Speaker 4: Really?
• 52:36
  Speaker 6: Same thing. It was awesome to see that.
• 52:39
  Speaker 3: I think as a quarterback, you know, with someone in
• 52:42
  Speaker 3: the headset, you want him like this all the time,
• 52:46
  Speaker 3: whether that's, you know, he's really energetic, but always be energetic,
• 52:51
  Speaker 3: or you're really stoic, always be stoic. that was, it
• 52:54
  Speaker 3: was awesome to feel that from him and I see
• 52:56
  Speaker 3: that from him.
• 52:56
  Speaker 6: And, uh, no, that's what we're going to get moving forward.
• 52:59
  Speaker 3: How much or in what ways have you grown as
• 53:01
  Speaker 3: a quarterback since last time you got extended run in
• 53:03
  Speaker 3: a game like this a couple of years back?
• 53:05
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 53:06
  Speaker 3: Um, I'd say it's an interesting question cause you know,
• 53:11
  Speaker 3: I've definitely grown. I've learned a lot about football, but
• 53:16
  Speaker 3: having an opportunity on a team like this.
• 53:20
  Speaker 6: Can shift your mindset. Um, Knowing the type of defense
• 53:24
  Speaker 6: that we.
• 53:24
  Speaker 3: Have, there's no rush to push the ball down the field.
• 53:29
  Speaker 3: Let's find ways to get the ball in our guys' hands. Now,
• 53:32
  Speaker 3: when the ones downfield are there, I've never been one
• 53:35
  Speaker 3: to be afraid to throw those. But having the mindset
• 53:38
  Speaker 3: of taking care of the football, getting it in our guys' hands,
• 53:41
  Speaker 3: knowing that you've got the best defense in the world,
• 53:43
  Speaker 3: in my opinion. Let's keep the ball moving forward and
• 53:48
  Speaker 3: see what the scoreboard looks like at the end of this.
• 53:50
  Speaker 6: You mentioned that defense.
• 53:51
  Speaker 2: I imagine it's the game going down.
• 53:52
  Speaker 6: You have to be thinking about over time getting right.
• 53:54
  Speaker 15: Did you even see the interception?
• 53:57
  Speaker 3: It was, all right, we're talking about four minutes. All right,
• 54:00
  Speaker 3: we're talking about two minutes. All right, stop talking to
• 54:03
  Speaker 3: me about two minutes. I'm going to go watch this
• 54:04
  Speaker 3: last play. And me and Jalen are sitting there. And
• 54:09
  Speaker 3: sure enough, the ball went up in the air. Joe
• 54:12
  Speaker 3: made a heck of a play. Then you click into,
• 54:15
  Speaker 3: oh my gosh, we just got to.
• 54:16
  Speaker 6: Go knee it now. The game's over.
• 54:17
  Speaker 3: Let's go take a knee and get on in here
• 54:19
  Speaker 3: and celebrate a little bit. I've always been the guy
• 54:30
  Speaker 3: to stand behind the offense, watch him, watch the pass rush,
• 54:35
  Speaker 3: and then go.
• 54:35
  Speaker 6: Back and look at the tape on the sideline with
• 54:37
  Speaker 6: the pictures.
• 54:40
  Speaker 3: The hit was kind of There's bodies in the way.
• 54:43
  Speaker 3: I didn't necessarily see it. Take a couple steps away,
• 54:46
  Speaker 3: I look back, and I see him kind of hobbling
• 54:47
  Speaker 3: to the sideline. That's happened before.
• 54:51
  Speaker 6: Nothing too big. But when he kept doing it all
• 54:55
  Speaker 6: the way to the white, I was like, all right,
• 54:57
  Speaker 6: this might be something.
• 54:59
  Speaker 3: And I feel like I know Sam really well. He
• 55:03
  Speaker 3: was going to do everything he can to stay out there.
• 55:06
  Speaker 3: But it's just one of those things where you had
• 55:08
  Speaker 3: to go get it looked at.
• 55:10
  Speaker 1: Through a long season, just one game, what is the
• 55:12
  Speaker 1: value of getting a win like this when it looks
• 55:15
  Speaker 1: so bleak there between half-quarters or whatever?
• 55:17
  Speaker 6: What does it mean long-term?
• 55:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, any win in this league is huge,
• 55:24
  Speaker 3: especially the first one of the year against a team
• 55:30
  Speaker 3: that was obviously very good the year before. It just,
• 55:36
  Speaker 3: instead of starting here, you started here. That's really the
• 55:38
  Speaker 3: only difference. We're going to go attack this coming week
• 55:43
  Speaker 3: with the same diligence that we attacked this week with and, again,
• 55:46
  Speaker 3: see where we're at after week two, week three.
• 55:48
  Speaker 6: Week four, and just take it one week at a time.
• 55:51
  Speaker 11: Drew, you're a whiteboard at home.
• 55:53
  Speaker 2: Can you think of the most random moment when you
• 55:56
  Speaker 2: felt the urge to go to it in the middle
• 55:59
  Speaker 2: of the night, early in the morning, friends over?
• 56:03
  Speaker 3: I'll say that every day I get home to do that.
• 56:08
  Speaker 3: I have to erase things that were not drawn by me. Um,
• 56:16
  Speaker 3: that's probably the most random thing about that whiteboard. Um,
• 56:19
  Speaker 3: I think it's a good time killer for my wife
• 56:22
  Speaker 3: at home at some point with the kiddo.
• 56:25
  Speaker 6: And, uh, yeah, so it's fun. I get to smile
• 56:27
  Speaker 6: right as I start to do it. And Kind of
• 56:29
  Speaker 6: remember why.
• 56:29
  Speaker 2: You're doing it.
• 56:31
  Speaker 15: Have they ever cooked up a good play, your wife
• 56:35
  Speaker 15: and kid?
• 56:35
  Speaker 6: They haven't, no.
• 56:36
  Speaker 3: Honestly, the whole thing ends up almost black, and it
• 56:38
  Speaker 3: just scribbles everywhere.
• 56:44
  Speaker 6: It's quiet. It's quiet in bed. After two kids, you
• 56:48
  Speaker 6: kind of realize there's a lot of quiet times in
• 56:50
  Speaker 6: bed when you just lay there like, What are we doing? Yeah, no,
• 56:57
  Speaker 6: she understands. She gets it. But still tell her I
• 57:01
  Speaker 6: love her, give her a little kiss, and go to sleep.
• 57:08
  Speaker 2: That was Drew Locke last night, the veteran reserve backup
• 57:12
  Speaker 2: quarterback who was in starter mode last night for the
• 57:15
  Speaker 2: last three and a half quarters. Six years now that
• 57:18
  Speaker 2: he's been a backup in the league. First two years
• 57:20
  Speaker 2: in the league in Denver, a second-round pick. He was
• 57:22
  Speaker 2: the Broncos' starting quarterback. He led the league in interceptions
• 57:25
  Speaker 2: during that time. They benched him three games into 0-3
• 57:29
  Speaker 2: start of his third season. And ever since then, he's
• 57:31
  Speaker 2: been a backup. Got a chance as a starter with
• 57:33
  Speaker 2: the New York Giants in 2024 when Daniel Jones got injured.
• 57:37
  Speaker 2: Didn't go well either for a bad Giants team. By
• 57:39
  Speaker 2: the end of that season, he was a free agent again.
• 57:41
  Speaker 2: The Seahawks signed him back. He didn't play barely anything
• 57:45
  Speaker 2: in any snaps at all last year when Sam Darnold
• 57:47
  Speaker 2: had such a great season. Then Darnold goes down five
• 57:49
  Speaker 2: plays into the new season. Drew Locke comes in. Voila.
• 57:53
  Speaker 2: Wins the game 13-10 last night. It appears Sam Darnold
• 57:56
  Speaker 2: will not play in Arizona in Week 2 on September 20th.
• 57:59
  Speaker 2: Mike McDonald updating that this morning on his coach's show,
• 58:03
  Speaker 2: saying he believes Drew Locke's going to make at least
• 58:05
  Speaker 2: the next start in Week 2. Then in Week 3,
• 58:08
  Speaker 2: they go to Washington. before they come home for week four.
• 58:11
  Speaker 2: So it could be a game, maybe two, that Darnold
• 58:14
  Speaker 2: misses and more Drew Locke. Cooper Cupp will be on
• 58:17
  Speaker 2: the field for those games, health-willing. The two-time Super Bowl-winning
• 58:23
  Speaker 2: wide receiver last night who had a touchdown negated by
• 58:25
  Speaker 2: his own false start, but he and George Helani were
• 58:28
  Speaker 2: switching positions on an audible call. He talked to us
• 58:31
  Speaker 2: then about the belief that this team has when games
• 58:34
  Speaker 2: like that, 10-0 late third quarter, they still believe and
• 58:37
  Speaker 2: expected they would win. I thought it was an interesting
• 58:39
  Speaker 2: perspective on expectations and the mental outlook teams have in
• 58:43
  Speaker 2: the fourth quarter. This was Cooper Cup last night.
• 58:45
  Speaker 16: What can you say about the performance that Drew just
• 58:47
  Speaker 16: had out there, getting thrust into the game, Sam going
• 58:50
  Speaker 16: out and doing what he did.
• 58:52
  Speaker 5: Especially in the second half?
• 58:53
  Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean, he did a phenomenal job. Basically took
• 58:57
  Speaker 10: no reps with any of the guys that were out
• 58:59
  Speaker 10: there all week.
• 59:01
  Speaker 8: And you can see the onus that he puts on
• 59:06
  Speaker 8: himself to be ready, though, Um, when the time comes
• 59:09
  Speaker 8: and there's, there's extra time that he spends out there
• 59:11
  Speaker 8: on the field, extra time he spends with the coaches
• 59:13
  Speaker 8: to make sure, you know, um, it's the last thing
• 59:15
  Speaker 8: you want is for, you know, Sam to have to
• 59:17
  Speaker 8: not be there.
• 59:18
  Speaker 10: Um, but man, Drew's done an unbelievable job preparing, um,
• 59:21
  Speaker 10: did a great job for us today.
• 59:22
  Speaker 6: What can you.
• 59:23
  Speaker 15: Say about the job Ryan Fleury did first game of
• 59:25
  Speaker 15: call plays, starting quarterback one drive in and the engineer
• 59:29
  Speaker 15: in the second half?
• 59:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he did an unbelievable job.
• 59:32
  Speaker 10: A lot of, I mean, not how we probably thought
• 59:34
  Speaker 10: the first game calling was going to go. But yeah,
• 59:37
  Speaker 10: I think he did a great job. And even, I mean,
• 59:41
  Speaker 10: you lose Sam, but we also, I think, offensively, just
• 59:43
  Speaker 10: as players, we shot ourselves in the foot way too much.
• 59:46
  Speaker 10: A lot of stuff that we've just got to clean up.
• 59:48
  Speaker 10: But he did a great job just being consistent there.
• 59:52
  Speaker 10: Great to me. I even saw him smile a little
• 59:54
  Speaker 10: bit on the sideline, so that's a big deal.
• 59:56
  Speaker 2: The touchdown that would have been a touchdown, did you
• 59:59
  Speaker 2: realize the play clock was running down and the snap
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 2: was going to happen before you got set, or what
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 2: happened on that one?
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 10: Well, we actually ended up canning protection play. We got
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 10: a play call come in with a motion, and then
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 10: Drew was able to, in that short amount of time,
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 10: get the play changed to what we needed to, get
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 10: the protection changed so the back's now moving, I'm moving,
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 10: and that's where things, you know, you got a bunch
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 10: of people moving, trying to get things lined up, and
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 10: just were up against the clock there.
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 2: How much of the belief that you guys have built
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 2: in the locker room over the last 12 months lead
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 2: to something like this?
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 10: I think there's something to be said in the NFL
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 10: about expectation that you have for yourself. I think you
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 10: can get into games through whatever your experience has been
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 10: in football and you get into that last four minutes
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 10: there and You either have this expectation that you're going
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 10: to find a way to win or you have the
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 10: expectation that something's going to go wrong and you're going.
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 2: To find a way to lose.
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 10: And we've got a lot of guys on this team.
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 2: I would say.
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 10: Just about everyone on this team is, if not everyone,
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 10: has the expectation that we're going to find a way
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 10: to win the game. And that goes a long way,
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 10: and there's power behind that. And it's honestly why in
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 10: this league you've seen teams that just seem like they
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 10: find a way to lose over and over again. There's
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 10: other teams that do just find a way to win games. And,
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 10: you know, that last drive, defense did a great job
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 10: finding a way to come up with a turnover.
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 2: You know, that's it.
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 10: Everything looks like, everything sounds like you're looking at, you know,
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 10: hopefully going, like having an opportunity in overtime to be
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 10: able to win it. But Job goes out there and
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 10: does a great job and wins it for us there.
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 10: So it speaks a lot to, you know, like you said,
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 10: you talked about the work.
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 2: That went into it.
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 10: But I think there's also, because of the work that's
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 10: gone into it, there's an expectation about what these outcomes
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 10: are going to be.
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 15: Joe, about that pick, the first two scores came after interceptions.
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 15: Just what can you say about the defense, especially that
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 15: second half effort?
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, they played lights out for us.
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 10: You know, I think the first half we weren't able
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 10: to gain much going offensively. We were just kind of
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 10: out of our rhythm. We had some long third downs,
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 10: and the third downs that we, you know, should have,
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 10: you know, converted on were just miscommunications and things like
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 10: that just weren't good. Not good enough, but in the
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 10: second half, I thought the complimentary football is really what
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 10: came alive, right?
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 2: You saw, you.
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 10: Know, Dicko does an unbelievable job pinning the Patriots back.
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 10: Defense does a great job holding them there. We get
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 10: great field position then, you know, offensively, and it's just
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 10: all those things go into, you know, creating points, giving
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 10: us opportunities to get into the plays that we want to,
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 10: to be able to attack guys offensively, and But, yeah,
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 10: it was just, there's some great examples there of complimentary football,
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 10: and we talk about that all the time.
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 2: What was the reaction on the sidelines seeing Sam go down,
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 2: go to the locker room? How did you guys sort
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 2: of go through, turn the page and rally behind Drew?
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 10: Yeah, well, I mean, I wasn't sure exactly what was
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 10: going on. You know, coach came up and just said, hey,
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 10: Drew's going for us. And, you know, and then it's like, okay, well,
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 10: let's find ways to make plays for him, find a
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 10: way to, bring things alive. And, you know, in the moment,
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 10: I mean, you're hurting for Sam, obviously. But in the moment,
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 10: you've got to find ways to move forward and figure
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 10: out how you're going to go out there and win
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 10: a football game.
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 2: That was Cooper Cup last night. Kind of a quiet
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 2: night for him. Three catches, but had a touchdown negated.
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 2: On that play that he got the touchdown negated in
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 2: the third quarter, it would have been a 10-7 game
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 2: had it counted. Instead, they had to settle for a
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 2: field goal, make it 10-3. Drew Locke changed the play.
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 2: And I haven't gone back to look at how late
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 2: in the play clock it was, but it looked like
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 2: it must have been late enough that they were in
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 2: a hurry. And Locke moved back into shotgun formation so
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 2: hurriedly he ran into Helani as Helani was trying to
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 2: set in the other side of the backfield. And then
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 2: he moved Cup on his play call. You could hear
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 2: him yelling, can, can, can. Meaning can the play. We're
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 2: going to go to another one. And it caused Cup
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 2: to have to shift. And Cup's shift didn't stop. If
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 2: you had more than one guy in motion... And he's resetting.
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 2: He has to be set for a full second. Both
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 2: of those guys have to be set a full second.
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 2: Helani was set, but Kup wasn't. And that's what the
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 2: illegal shift call was. A live ball foul to let
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 2: the play go. Touchdown. Nobody underneath coverage. Easy score, but
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 2: the illegal shift negated it.
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 7: That was a little confusing, yes.
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 2: And I asked Kup about it. You heard him. I
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 2: don't know if in that clip you heard him say about, yeah,
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 2: we just kind of messed up the audible call. And
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 2: the play clock had to have been a factor because
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 2: otherwise Lockwood would have snapped it. Wow. Cup was not
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 2: quite yet set. It looked like he was hurting against
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 2: the play cock there. Four, nine, four, five, one. The
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 2: coming odds text on your impressions of last night, the
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 2: first Seahawks game week one. So week one's like that.
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 2: It's sometimes it's ugly. I'd said it'd probably be a
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 2: low scoring defensive game because week ones just are like that.
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 2: Nehemiah Pritchett really helped himself last night.
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 5: Yeah, he did.
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 2: Allowed Mike McDonald to play nickel and have Witherspoon inside
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 2: like he wants to. Rodney Thomas really helped himself last
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 2: night in a, fill-in role when Tai Okada was out injured.
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 2: Your thoughts on the Seahawks. We'll read those back next.
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 2: We have a couple talkbacks. We'll play back in at 1135.
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 2: Fact or fiction. Jessen's going to hook you up with
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 2: her pick.
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 4: Oh, yeah.
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 2: You match wits with her. Fact, agree. Fiction, disagree to
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 2: 49451 for a chance to win $ 1, 000 from the Lucky
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 2: Eagle Casino and Hotel.
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 7: Ready for facts, folks.
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 2: Oh, coming up next. We only deal in facts on
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 2: this show. Put it this way. If you want to
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 2: win $ 1, 000, text fact at 1135. If you want to
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 2: not win $ 1, 000, text fiction. That's pretty much how it
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 2: works on this show.
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 2: Coming up next on 93.3 KJR FM.
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 5: Okay, Greg, what do you think about this, your opinion?
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 12: So the commentator talked about not playing the starters during preseason.
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 12: and that it showed a lot of rust compared to
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 12: the potential of getting injured the preseason versus the rust
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 12: that showed in the first half. I mean, all the
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 12: penalties off, all the different mistakes and stuff they're making.
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 5: Your opinion.
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 13: Hey, can somebody explain what's going on with that offsides
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 13: call on their fourth down.
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 11: Play where they, I think it was the third quarter,
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 11: I thought for sure that everything was good there.
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 17: Greg, Jess, that sounds so good. You guys are fantastic together.
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 17: Greg in Huntington Beach. I heard this take last night.
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 17: Too good not to share. Last year, week one, Niners
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 17: are driving. Seahawks are up 13-10. Brock Purdy rolls right,
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 17: floats in the end zone.
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 2: Reek Willen goes blind, doesn't make a play. Seahawks lose.
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 9: Fast forward to this year. Seahawks are up 13-10. Drake
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 9: May rolls right, floats it into the end zone. Josh
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 9: Jobe makes the play, the guy you replaced in the line.
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 2: All is right. All right, well, thanks to Greg Hanging
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 2: the Beats, long-time guy. I used to talk to him
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 2: on the show in 2024 with Chris Kidd. Let me
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 2: get to the offsides first. You almost never see offsides
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 2: on an offensive lineman. I talked to Anthony Bradford about
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 2: it last night. He was on the right side of
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 2: the line, and I thought maybe he was the one
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 2: called for it. He said that the officials told Abe
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 2: Lucas his shoulder pad was offside. Come on, dude. They
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 2: said that the line officials came in and told Bradford
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 2: and Lucas that we're being really strict on these tush-push
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 2: plays now, and you guys can't get away with anything. Now,
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 2: that's counter to what the officials said when they came
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 2: to the training camp for the Seahawks, and the referee,
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 2: Craig Rolstead, said... that the NFL is not telling them
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 2: push-push has to be officiated more stringently. The line official
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 2: last night said, yes, they are. They have to. They're
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 2: being really strict. Bradford told me at his locker last
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 2: night after the game that they went to the iPad
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 2: on the sideline and re-watched it, and none of them
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 2: thought that was a penalty. Of course, they're Seahawks. They
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 2: got called for it. They ruined a fourth and one
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 2: and moved it to fourth and six. But that's what happened.
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 2: A shoulder pad in the neutral zone by Abe Lucas
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 2: was the reason for that penalty.
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 2: You heard it here first. Nobody else talked to Luke
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 2: Bradford about that. I didn't even write that. That's what happens.
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 7: But you did talk to him.
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 2: You get content, yeah. And the other thing about, what
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 2: was the first thing? It was about, oh.
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 5: Okay, great.
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 2: What do you think about this? They're playing in the preseason. Yeah.
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 2: My theory is the players make too much money, are
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 2: too valuable, it's not worth the risk. The preseasons are
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 2: jokes anyway. Get rid of the whole thing. They don't
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 2: need it. College football doesn't need it, and the first
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 2: games are somewhat disjointed, too. My theory, of the Seahawks
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 2: in particular is they have such a great defense that
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 2: they can just roll out and play as is and
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 2: win games with their defense like they did last night. Remember,
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 2: the Seahawks spotted the Patriots those 10 points. Josh Jobe
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 2: beaten soundly on a flea flicker, was way out of position,
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 2: the P.I. on the goal line. If Drake May's pass
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 2: hadn't been so terrible, it would have been a touchdown anyway. P.I.
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 2: to the one-yard line in the next play, a touchdown pass.
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 2: And then Chaz Surratt, who's the only reason he's on
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 2: the team is to make smart special teams plays, a
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 2: veteran player, runs in and roughs the kicker because he
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 2: hit his plant leg after he kicked. 15-yard penalty. They
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 2: went from punting the ball back into the Seahawks to
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 2: giving up the ball and moving it into field goal position.
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 2: That's 10 points right there for the Patriots. Up now,
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 2: Factor Fiction. It's your shot at our weekly $ 1, 000.
• 1:09:45

• 1:10:54
  Speaker 2: to 20 times. Whoever has the most wins will win
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 2: $ 10, 000 from the Lucky Eagle Casino and Hotel. Jessamyn, your floor. Yes,
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 2: it is.
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 4: So I'll get my pick in and I'll explain why.
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 4: I'm taking the Cardinals plus... Ten and a half. They
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 4: are getting ten and a half. And I will tell
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 4: you why, because I do think they're going to lose,
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 4: but I don't think it's going to be.
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 7: By that much. I can explain myself.
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 4: They're heading into the Chargers territory, which is now in
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 4: Los Angeles. And I just don't think they're going to
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 4: lose by as much as is projected, which I have
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 4: on Vegas Insider right now at ten and a half.
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 4: And I would take that 100%. Fact, if you agree
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 4: with me and my pie-eyed view, or fiction if you don't.
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 4: But I just, I think they're going to lose, which
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 4: is great for us here in the NFC West. But
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 4: I don't think they're going to lose by that much.
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 4: And that's just like when I see a huge point
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 4: spread like that, I kind of bet on the team
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 4: that is getting that many points. So Cardinals at Chargers
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 4: this Sunday at 125 p.m. I am taking the Cardinals
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 4: plus 10 and a half.
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 2: You heard the woman. If you want to win $ 1, 000,
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 2: text FACT to 49451 saying you agree with Jessamyn saying
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 2: the Cardinals aren't going to get boat raced by more
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 2: than 11 or more points in Los Angeles against the
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 2: Chargers on Sunday afternoon.
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 7: In week one, that's not going to happen.
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 2: If you think the Cardinals, with Jacoby Brissett, will lose
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 2: by 10 or fewer points or outweigh win the game
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 2: against the Chargers in L.A., text FICTION to 49451. Get
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 2: some facts and come back and see me. Get some
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 2: facts and come back and see me.
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 5: Get some facts and come back and see me.
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 2: Thank you, Jim. I'll have another pick tomorrow at 11.35.
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 2: Ian will have another pick tomorrow at 2.35. Dave Softy-Moller
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 2: and Dick Fane will have another pick today at 3.35.
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 2: That's how it works. Chuck has it at 7.35 every morning.
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 4: So many opportunities to win $ 1, 000.
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 2: Up to 20 in most regular game weeks.
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 2: So the more you win, the more chance you have
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 2: to win $ 10, 000. But you only have to win once
• 1:13:07
  Speaker 2: to win $ 1, 000 this week. That's how it works. So
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 2: that's what's cool.
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 2: If you want to just parachute in and parachute out, okay,
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 2: that's cool. Although parachuting out would be difficult.
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean, that would be a gust of wind.
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 2: I jumped out of an airplane, and I never parachuted up.
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 2: I always went to the ground. Five jump jump in
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 2: the Army. I was airborne qualified. Jumped all five. It
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 2: was really cool. I had a toggle parachute once, the
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 2: kind that you pull.
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 7: Oh, that's awesome. You could control where you went?
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 2: At the last jump or two, they gave us toggle chutes.
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 2: The first were just zip line tied to the interior
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 2: line on the C-130, and you jumped out, and you
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 2: had no choice but The chute came out once you
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 2: went a certain distance from the fuselage of the plane. And,
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 2: in fact, the toggle one was the same way. Once
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 2: you got past a certain point on the plane, the
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 2: parachute deployed, but then you got to steer that one.
• 1:13:57
  Speaker 2: That was cool. We were in Fort Benning, Georgia. This
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 2: is one of the cool things about airborne school. There
• 1:14:02
  Speaker 2: aren't many. When you leave the airfield, you're in Georgia,
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 2: Fort Benning, Georgia. When you land in the drop zone,
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 2: you're in Alabama. That's the only time I've been in
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 2: the state of Alabama with jumping into it out of
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 2: an airplane.
• 1:14:15
  Speaker 7: That's actually really cool.
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 2: It's really weird. The only time I've been in Alabama.
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 2: Jessamyn McIntyre says Cardinals plus the ten and a half
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 2: at the Chargers on Sunday. If you agree, text FACT
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 2: to 49451. If you disagree, text FICTION to 49451. Up next,
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 2: the mayor of Maple Valley, Ian Furness, to tell us
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 2: what he's got cooking on his show, 12 to 3
• 1:14:34
  Speaker 2: on 93.3 KJRFM. Welcome back. Greg Bell, Jessamyn McIntyre with
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 2: you on 93.3 KJF. There's a 12-minute window. I guess
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 2: it's over now, huh? Or it's close.
• 1:15:17
  Speaker 3: It's close.
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 2: You might still have a minute or two. Jessamyn says
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 2: Cardinals plus 10.5 at the Chargers on Sunday. If you agree,
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 2: text FACT to 49451 on the last minute under the wire.
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 2: Ian Furness is trying to compute that. If you disagree,
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 2: text FICTION to 49451. If you missed our interviews with
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 2: a playback of the interviews with Drew Locke, Cooper Cup,
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 2: You go to the iHeartRadio at 933KJR. com or 933KJR. com, whatever.
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 2: 933KJR is the iHeart one and. com is the website.
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 2: I think you know how the internet works by now.
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 4: And the radio station, 93.3 KJR FM.
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 7: Here we go.
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 2: 206 is Air Assault School, is that right? Repelling out
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 2: of helicopters. Yeah, in Kentucky. Did I shout air? Did
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 2: you shout airborne? Airborne. Damn right I did. A jump
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 2: master from Sergeant Bididoe. From Louisiana. He was great. He
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 2: was our jump master. Sergeant Bilodeau.
• 1:16:13
  Speaker 7: Did you know that Greg jumped out of planes?
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 2: I just found that out. It was Sergeant Bilodeau. Sergeant Bilodeau.
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 2: The women, this was in 1992, the women in jump
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 2: school wore double digits on their helmets. The men wore
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 2: three digits, triple digits. So Sergeant Bilodeau called the women
• 1:16:34
  Speaker 2: double digits. And if the double digits or even the
• 1:16:37
  Speaker 2: man would hesitate and not jump out of the airplane,
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 2: he'd go, Sergeant Billy Doe would go, double digits, I'm
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 2: scared of you. I'll never forget that. It's ingrained in
• 1:16:48
  Speaker 2: my head.
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 7: I wouldn't mind being called a double digit, to be honest.
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 7: Double digits.
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 2: Hey, double digits. Oh, that's pretty funny. Why am I
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 2: talking about this?
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 7: I don't know.
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 11: We're going to talk Seahawks.
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 2: Let's go on. Let's talk Seahawks. What'd you think? Are
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 2: we talking Seahawks today at all?
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 4: No.
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 2: Okay, good. We should probably bring that up.
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 6: Maybe.
• 1:17:04
  Speaker 2: Drew Locke, White Knight. Coming in right in on no
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 2: preparation at all. Yeah. Now let's put your Seahawks fan
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 2: hat on. You're concerned about Sam Darnold's injury. Yeah.
• 1:17:21
  Speaker 11: I would say on a scale of 1 to 10,
• 1:17:24
  Speaker 11: probably in the 7 range. I'm always concerned about an injury.
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 11: It doesn't matter what the sport or who it is
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 11: or what it is because– Oftentimes, what you end up, oh,
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 11: it's not bad.
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 2: It's this.
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 11: And then you find out, oh, actually, it's really bad.
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 11: It's this or this. I don't know. We'll be interested.
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 11: I know he had his coach's show on the flagship
• 1:17:47
  Speaker 11: today and was somewhat optimistic a little.
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 6: Bit, but.
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 2: We're not worrying about Sam Darnold.
• 1:17:52
  Speaker 11: Which is kind of what he said last night, right?
• 1:17:53
  Speaker 11: It was like his best news.
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 2: In different words.
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 11: So really, there's no update from last night.
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 2: To this morning. Other than he did say, when he
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 2: was asked, I tried to ask. So here's the funny thing.
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 2: I guess some texter said NFL Network roasted me for
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 2: asking the question, will Darnold play in the next game?
• 1:18:07
  Speaker 5: What?
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 2: And his host on his flagship station asked the same
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 2: question this morning.
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 4: Time out.
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 11: Why would you be roasted for that? Said I was
• 1:18:13
  Speaker 11: a moron. Who said that?
• 1:18:15
  Speaker 2: Some texter, you know.
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 11: The texter said that?
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 2: Someone at NFL Network, according to the texter, said I
• 1:18:22
  Speaker 2: was a moron. Whoever that reporter is is a moronic
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 2: question for asking that.
• 1:18:26
  Speaker 11: That's the only question to ask.
• 1:18:28
  Speaker 2: Exactly. But it also would give an– his answer gives
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 2: an indication of how severe they think the injury is.
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 2: He could either say, oh, it's a short-term thing or
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 2: we don't know or there's a lot of nuance and
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 2: gray that you can get out of that answer. Right, right.
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 2: That's okay. One of our Rhodes Scholar texters texted that
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 2: into us.
• 1:18:42
  Speaker 11: Well, 3 o'clock he has his other news conference, right?
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 12: Correct.
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 11: By then, there's no more we're waiting for CTI or
• 1:18:49
  Speaker 11: all the stuff. MRI and CT scans. By 3 o'clock today,
• 1:18:54
  Speaker 11: you should have all that information.
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 2: If he's divulging it, he should give it to us
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 2: at 3. Now, he did say this morning that when
• 1:18:59
  Speaker 2: he was asked by his host on the flagship, do
• 1:19:02
  Speaker 2: you think Darnold will play and miss multiple games? Will
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 2: he play in Arizona? He said, I think Drew Locke's
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 2: going to play. But then he said that might be
• 1:19:09
  Speaker 2: a hedge.
• 1:19:12
  Speaker 11: I mean, it's the only thing on their schedule, honestly,
• 1:19:15
  Speaker 11: in the near future that you can go, okay, let's
• 1:19:18
  Speaker 11: just get– I mean, I would even go this far.
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 11: Okada hamstring, you know that's kind of a pain. It's
• 1:19:24
  Speaker 11: like those don't heal in two or three days.
• 1:19:26
  Speaker 2: Correct.
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 11: I wonder if yesterday was a Super Bowl if Eamon
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 11: Warrie could have played.
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 2: I think that he would have.
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 11: And I think you kind of, like, it's, okay, game
• 1:19:34
  Speaker 11: one and all that. It's New England at home. You
• 1:19:36
  Speaker 11: should be all right.
• 1:19:36
  Speaker 2: Matter of fact, he did play in the Super Bowl
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 2: four days after spraining the ankle leading to head surgery.
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 11: Correct. But, you know, as far as Locke is concerned,
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 11: you could not have a softer landing for his first
• 1:19:48
  Speaker 11: start than Arizona.
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 2: Correct.
• 1:19:50
  Speaker 11: And then you've got the 10 days.
• 1:19:52
  Speaker 2: And this is a guy who won a start against
• 1:19:54
  Speaker 2: the defending Super Bowl champion Eagles in December 2023, which
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 2: is his last meaningful start. I mean, he was.
• 1:20:00
  Speaker 11: He's such a goofball, this guy. Like, he really is.
• 1:20:04
  Speaker 11: But it's probably the perfect demeanor to have in the
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 11: role that he has. You know, like I was texting
• 1:20:09
  Speaker 11: you last night, you know, because I'm never sure, I'll
• 1:20:12
  Speaker 11: be honest with you, it feels like the rule changes
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 11: over the years, but, you know, Milrow's an inactive player,
• 1:20:18
  Speaker 11: but he does dress as a third quarterback.
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 2: Emergency third quarterback. So they do have it. Can only
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 2: play if the other two get injured.
• 1:20:22
  Speaker 11: Other two get hurt, yeah, which is always just the
• 1:20:24
  Speaker 11: dumbest thing in the world. But that aside, at least, like,
• 1:20:27
  Speaker 11: because I was thinking... Whoa, he is dressed, right? And
• 1:20:29
  Speaker 11: then I, they actually, I saw him pretty quick after that, but, um,
• 1:20:32
  Speaker 11: you know, cause I, my mind always just goes back
• 1:20:35
  Speaker 11: to San Francisco and the NFC championship game against Philadelphia.
• 1:20:38
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:20:39
  Speaker 11: When, you know, Christian McCaffrey is just running, you know,
• 1:20:41
  Speaker 11: wildcat the whole game, uh, because they only had two
• 1:20:44
  Speaker 11: quarterbacks dressed and they both got hurt and they ended
• 1:20:46
  Speaker 11: up bringing Purdy back in.
• 1:20:47
  Speaker 2: I think that's after that point that they reinstated.
• 1:20:50
  Speaker 11: I think it was. That's, that's what I think it was.
• 1:20:51
  Speaker 6: Right.
• 1:20:52
  Speaker 11: So that would have been three years ago. And so, um,
• 1:20:54
  Speaker 11: but yeah, that's, that's, It's just one of those things
• 1:20:58
  Speaker 11: that how many times have we seen guys limp off
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 11: a field and you think, oh, he's walking off under
• 1:21:02
  Speaker 11: his own power. He's okay, what have you, and away
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 11: you go. And then he's out for the season or
• 1:21:08
  Speaker 11: he's out until December, whatever it might be. So until
• 1:21:11
  Speaker 11: we get a definitive answer, and I don't know if
• 1:21:14
  Speaker 11: we will get a definitive answer, until we get a
• 1:21:15
  Speaker 11: definitive answer, I guess I would hold my breath like
• 1:21:19
  Speaker 11: a lot of Seahawks fans. But also knowing the thing
• 1:21:22
  Speaker 11: that everybody said last night, which is true, they probably
• 1:21:24
  Speaker 11: have the best number two in the league in a
• 1:21:25
  Speaker 11: lot of ways.
• 1:21:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:21:26
  Speaker 11: And that's a good thing to have. And, and, you know,
• 1:21:29
  Speaker 11: they've Greg, I think you'd agree with me that, you know,
• 1:21:32
  Speaker 11: Schneider doesn't like drafting quarterbacks, but he does like having
• 1:21:35
  Speaker 11: quality depth at quarterback.
• 1:21:37
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 1:21:37
  Speaker 11: Whether it be the late Tavares Jackson, Matt Flynn, uh,
• 1:21:41
  Speaker 11: obviously Gino for a while, like he's had. The only
• 1:21:45
  Speaker 11: time they didn't... I know.
• 1:21:46
  Speaker 2: What you're going to say, because I'm about to say it.
• 1:21:48
  Speaker 2: It bit them. It did. It bit them. That was
• 1:21:50
  Speaker 2: the only time Russell Wilson missed snaps.
• 1:21:52
  Speaker 11: When Boykin was the backup.
• 1:21:53
  Speaker 2: Trayvon Boykin had to come in, and that was the
• 1:21:54
  Speaker 2: day that he said, never again. He traded for Brett Hundley.
• 1:21:58
  Speaker 2: He got traded and got Drew Locke. He insisted Drew
• 1:22:01
  Speaker 2: Locke was part of that Russell Wilson trade.
• 1:22:04
  Speaker 11: Because Russ shouldn't have played a few games.
• 1:22:06
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 1:22:08
  Speaker 11: But they had no choice.
• 1:22:09
  Speaker 2: Trevoin Boykin, that scared him into their current backup.
• 1:22:12
  Speaker 11: As well it should.
• 1:22:13
  Speaker 2: What do you got today?
• 1:22:15
  Speaker 11: Well, our first visit of the year with Ross Tucker
• 1:22:17
  Speaker 11: is going to join us at 1220 today. He is
• 1:22:19
  Speaker 11: now the number two analyst on CBS, by the way,
• 1:22:22
  Speaker 11: because of Tony Romo. Everybody got bumped up.
• 1:22:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:22:25
  Speaker 11: Everybody got bumped up. He went from three to two.
• 1:22:28
  Speaker 11: He's working with Ian Eagle this year on CBS, also
• 1:22:30

• 1:22:56
  Speaker 2: in Edmonds with your husband. Which Mike from Edmonds?

  Speaker 2: talking about my moron comment. Yes. Cleveland Browns announcer. Maybe
• 1:23:43
