  Speaker 3: Good morning, Greg.
• 0:25
  Speaker 4: Good morning.
• 0:27
  Speaker 3: Well, there is a lot to discuss here today, and
• 0:30
  Speaker 3: I don't know if I wanted to save the Greg
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: Bell news for at the end or if we just
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: discuss it here at the beginning.
• 0:38
  Speaker 4: Everyone wants to hear about the CR.
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: Well, I know, but we do have to find out.
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: So I think we need to start with it. I
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: think that since you put it out there.
• 0:49
  Speaker 5: Everyone tunes in to talk about the Seahawks. I don't
• 0:52
  Speaker 5: need to hear it. Nobody cares about me.
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: It's not true, Greg. Well, we care.
• 0:58
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:00
  Speaker 5: Well, thanks.
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:03
  Speaker 5: They don't tune in for that. The Seahawks, they've got
• 1:05
  Speaker 5: a lot of stuff to talk about. All right. Fine.
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: All right, well, let's talk about the Seahawks then on
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: the radio program.
• 1:13
  Speaker 5: All right, man.
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: Well, the Seahawks and the San Francisco 49ers faced yesterday.
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: What a crazy freaking game that that turned out to be.
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: And Mike McDonald, I mean, that's about as short as
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: I've seen him be with the press after the game
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: was over. He really didn't want to talk about any
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: of the negativity of the game, but certainly acknowledged that
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: they're just not playing complete football right now.
• 1:43
  Speaker 4: Well, the biggest problem on offense is they have a
• 1:47
  Speaker 4: trust issue in their running backs, and they don't trust them.
• 1:51
  Speaker 4: I mean, it was very telling that Vellis Jones Jr.,
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: they had signed from the practice squad to play in
• 1:56
  Speaker 4: the game, didn't play. He was only on special teams,
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: did not get one offensive snap after– Both Helani and
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: Emmanuel Wilson fumbling the ball, and Helani's was just a
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: calamity of errors in their own goal line, and McDonald
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: did not like our questioning of why that whole decision-making
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: of using your timeouts on defense when San Francisco already
• 2:18
  Speaker 4: had the ball on your side of the field. McDonald
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: did say he was hoping for a touchback there and
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: that there would then be a couple from the 20,
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: be a couple of completions to potentially and stealing a
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: chance at a field goal. He was trying to do
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: the old two-for-one at the end of the half because
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: the Seahawks had the ball coming out of the second half.
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: And then it backfired when the punt was seven-niners down
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: the punt at the four-yard line. And then they tried
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: to run a regular offensive running play. They could have
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: kneeled there, but the problem was with kneeling to end
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: the half with 27 seconds left. The 49ers had all
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: three of their timeouts left. So it was actually 18
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: seconds by the time the punt was downed. So they
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: could have used all three timeouts and still forced the
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: Seahawks to punt from their own end zone.
• 3:01
  Speaker 5: Now, there probably wouldn't have been much.
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: Time after that punt, assuming Dixon got it off, that
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: the 49ers could have scored from there. But that's actually
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: what I was thinking about in the press box when
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: I was happening.
• 3:11
  Speaker 5: Will the 49ers use timeouts here?
• 3:14
  Speaker 4: And then the defensive tackle blows Sundell into George Helani, messing.
• 3:19
  Speaker 5: Up the handoff that they dropped. And the Niners.
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: Recover the fumble on the end zone for a gift,
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: seven points. Three turnovers, 21 points in the first half.
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: The Seahawks defense only gave up 11 points and not
• 3:32
  Speaker 4: until the last 18 minutes of the game yesterday. And
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: if you give up 11 points to the 49ers, you should.
• 3:37
  Speaker 5: Win, and they do win when they do that. It
• 3:40
  Speaker 5: bears repeating, this team, when they turn it over, man, it's.
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: True of football in general, but under Mike McDonald, when
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: the Seahawks turn it over two or more times, they're 9-10.
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: When they turn it over one or no times, they're 21-1.
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: Look at the last three times, four times they've lost here.
• 3:59
  Speaker 5: In the last 12 months.
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: Turnover, giving the Buccaneers the winning field goal 12 months
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: ago in October. Four interceptions by Sam Darnold, career high
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: in November at the Rams. At Washington, three turnovers. Washington
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: 21 points and a two-point loss. And then yesterday, four
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: turnovers and a three-point loss.
• 4:20
  Speaker 5: It's that simple.
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: The Seahawks have a defense good enough to win on
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: almost every day that the offense doesn't turn it over.
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: Sam Darnold is a turnover problem. The only time Sam
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: Darnold has not turned the ball over in consecutive games
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: and the Seahawks haven't turned the ball over in consecutive
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: games the last two seasons were the three games in
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: the playoffs to the Super Bowl last season. I mean,
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: there's a direct correlation there because of how good the Seahawks'
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: defense is But they don't.
• 4:50
  Speaker 5: Trust the running backs.
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: They didn't trust Jadarian Price when they benched him before
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: he got hurt, and now they don't trust Wilson, and
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: they don't trust Helani, and they don't trust to bring
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: Velas Jones in. They really do need Price back, but
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: he can't come back until November 2nd. They need Zach
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: Charbonnet back, but Mike McDonald said yesterday, right now doesn't
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: like Charbonnet. He's going to make his season debut against Denver,
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: which pushes him back at least 10 more days after
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: that to the Kansas City game at the end of
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: the month. A team that's predicated on running the ball
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: doesn't trust the running backs. and we haven't even gotten
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: to their offensive line that did not hold back the
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: 49ers front yesterday at all.
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Sam looked rushed all game long. He never felt composed,
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: and so did Brock Purdy for the most part, but
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: Purdy at least had one quarter where things seemed to
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: slow down. You always hear that about quarterbacks, like somewhere
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: in the point of the season where the game slows
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: down for them. Well, sometimes that will happen within a game.
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: I don't know if that ever happened. It never felt
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: like Sam actually kind of got locked in to his game.
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: So do we credit the 49ers for creating that in him,
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: or do we just chalk this up to Sam Darnold
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: just didn't play a good football game when they needed
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: him to yesterday?
• 6:04
  Speaker 5: Well, no, he did get pressure.
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: He actually avoided a few sacks and made a couple
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: really nice plays, as he has done throughout this season.
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: The decision-making is leading to the interception. Now, the second
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: interception to Arroyo, he just threw a bad pass behind him.
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: If he throws that out in front, he's got the
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: defender on his back, and he runs into open space
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: for a 30-plus yard gain. And in fact, after the game,
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: Darnold said they'd game plan that play against the specific
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: look they got from the Niners, and the coaching point
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: all week was to throw it outside.
• 6:34
  Speaker 5: And beyond Arroyo and let him run under it, and
• 6:37
  Speaker 5: it was just a bad throw behind.
• 6:39
  Speaker 4: But the decision-making on the first interception was much like
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: the decision against the Chargers on the first drive. I mean,
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: he threw that ball out in the flat with green
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: ricardo renato green the corner was right on top of
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: smith and jigba as good as body control smith and
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: jigba has that would have been a herculean effort for
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: him to make a catch on that play because of
• 7:01
  Speaker 4: where green was he had inside position on an out
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: route standing between the quarterback and the ball i mean
• 7:09
  Speaker 4: why throw that i don't know it was third down
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: he's got supreme confidence in smith and jigba in his
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: body and control and playing on the ball but man,
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: the corner is in your way to get to the receiver.
• 7:21
  Speaker 5: On that throw.
• 7:23
  Speaker 4: That led to the first touchdown. So Darnold has five
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: interceptions in three games since he's come back from injury.
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: That ain't cutting it. And that's the same guy who
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: led the league in turnovers last season during the regular season.
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: Then when he didn't turn over in the playoffs, they
• 7:38
  Speaker 4: won the Super Bowl.
• 7:40
  Speaker 5: I don't know how much more clear.
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: It's very simple to say, but that's really where they
• 7:44
  Speaker 4: are offensively right now.
• 7:46
  Speaker 5: Don't turn it over. They win. turn it over they
• 7:48
  Speaker 5: lose uh.
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: Greg bell is with us our seahawks insider uh joining
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: us here on chuck in the morning sports radio 93.3
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: kjrfm but i have i mean i'm go ahead write
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: down sam darnold starting quarterback next week for and for
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: the rest of the season for the seattle seahawks i
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: have a hard time jotting down the running backs uh
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: that i want to get the football going forward and
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: I think I speak on behalf of Seahawks fans everywhere.
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: The way that George Helani loosely carried the ball, even
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: on carries that didn't result in fumbles. I'm not sure, Greg.
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: I want to see him carry the football again. Is
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: there any way that he can be extracted from this role,
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: at least demoted on the depth chart? Is there anybody
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: that can step up and take a few of those
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: carries away so that Helani gets demoted further down the
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: depth chart?
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: Well, two things. One, remember, George Helani's on the team
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: because of special teams and being a pass blocker.
• 8:46
  Speaker 5: And he's now doing well beyond that role. So you're right.
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: They could move him back to why he's on the team.
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: They need to look at Thomas Henry Jr., the guy
• 8:55
  Speaker 4: they put on the active roster. They signed him from
• 8:57
  Speaker 4: the Commanders onto the active roster. I was surprised he
• 9:00
  Speaker 4: wasn't active to play yesterday, which said he probably didn't
• 9:03
  Speaker 4: know enough of the game plan because he certainly would
• 9:05
  Speaker 4: be physically ready having practiced since the start of training
• 9:08
  Speaker 4: camp and all offseason with the Commanders. I want to
• 9:11
  Speaker 4: see him on Thursday night. I think that would give
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: him a shot. Valis Jones Jr.
• 9:16
  Speaker 5: he must not be very good.
• 9:18
  Speaker 4: They must not be trusting him if he didn't even
• 9:21
  Speaker 4: get on the field yesterday, given what they were getting
• 9:23
  Speaker 4: at running back. We asked about the inconsistency of you
• 9:27
  Speaker 4: bench Price when he fumbled twice in two games, but
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: you're not benching Helani and Emmanuel Wilson yesterday. And he said, well,
• 9:35
  Speaker 4: we don't have any running backs left, and you don't
• 9:37
  Speaker 4: want me out there, and I don't want to be
• 9:39
  Speaker 4: out there. When Velas Jones was available and he didn't play.
• 9:44
  Speaker 4: So if they don't like Jones, let's bring in Thomas
• 9:47
  Speaker 4: Henry Jr.
• 9:48
  Speaker 5: In Denver Thursday night and see what he does. They
• 9:51
  Speaker 5: cannot not run the ball. And they cannot not.
• 9:54
  Speaker 4: Trust the running backs to give them the ball because
• 9:56
  Speaker 4: they're afraid they're going to fumble. So bring in a
• 9:58
  Speaker 4: guy who hasn't fumbled yet. for you that's what I
• 10:01
  Speaker 4: would do Thomas Henry Jr. and then hope you can
• 10:04
  Speaker 4: bide your time with him and Emmanuel Wilson and George
• 10:08
  Speaker 4: Helani in his role he's supposed to be in which
• 10:10
  Speaker 4: is a third down blocking slash catching back to get
• 10:13
  Speaker 4: you to the 10 days later at Kansas City and
• 10:15
  Speaker 4: hope that the night on the white horse Zach Charbonnet
• 10:18
  Speaker 4: comes back and oh by the way You'd then be
• 10:20
  Speaker 4: asking Charbonnet to come back off of eight and a
• 10:23
  Speaker 4: half months following reconstructive knee surgery like it never happened.
• 10:26
  Speaker 4: That's a big if.
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: By the way, just to correct, and there are a
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: lot of names to remember, Robert Henry Jr. is the
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: running back.
• 10:34
  Speaker 4: Robert Henry was in some revolutionary American history. I was
• 10:40
  Speaker 4: back in my civics and American history classes in middle school.
• 10:43
  Speaker 5: Thank you for that. Robert Henry Jr.
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: Robert Henry Jr. Josh Jobe, I thought it was a
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: fair question. I thought it was a fair question. I
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: don't know who asked it from the media group.
• 10:57
  Speaker 4: Brady Henderson, ESPN.com, at the end of the conference, it
• 11:00
  Speaker 4: actually was the one that got McDonald off the podium.
• 11:02
  Speaker 5: He didn't like it, but yeah.
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and I thought it was fair, and Mike obviously
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: thought it was ridiculous to suggest that, why did you
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: stick with Josh Jobe? Didn't you have somebody else that
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: maybe wouldn't have gotten taken to school by Mike Evans
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: the entire fourth quarter? Why do you think he reacted
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: that way, and what are your thoughts on that?
• 11:23
  Speaker 4: I think he reacted that way because Kyle Shanahan outcoached him.
• 11:26
  Speaker 4: We talked all week about how McDonald had the better
• 11:30
  Speaker 4: of Shanahan. And was McDonald, did he solve Shanahan? Well, yesterday,
• 11:35
  Speaker 4: Shanahan solved McDonald. The Evans on Jobe started early in
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: the game. You remember after the first interception, the third
• 11:41
  Speaker 4: down completion in the red zone was Evans beating Jobe.
• 11:45
  Speaker 4: And then the very next play from the two-yard line,
• 11:47
  Speaker 4: the touchdown was.
• 11:48
  Speaker 5: Evans over Jobe.
• 11:50
  Speaker 4: Then they moved Job from right corner over to left corner,
• 11:53
  Speaker 4: and they put Witherspoon on right corner. So Shanahan moved
• 11:58
  Speaker 4: Evans over to where Job traveled to. Shanahan knows that
• 12:03
  Speaker 4: McDonald wants to play straight up with his corners and
• 12:06
  Speaker 4: not travel him. He knows he likes to play in
• 12:09
  Speaker 4: passing situations, Witherspoon and the nickel. Now, yesterday what happened
• 12:13
  Speaker 4: was McDonald threw.
• 12:14
  Speaker 5: Him a changeup.
• 12:16
  Speaker 4: He didn't play much Witherspoon inside with nickel. We told
• 12:20
  Speaker 4: you that we were talking about how even Warrior can
• 12:22
  Speaker 4: play almost all the plays now.
• 12:23
  Speaker 5: He's back on track. We did.
• 12:24
  Speaker 4: He played 93% of that, 56 of 60 snaps. And
• 12:28
  Speaker 4: Witherspoon played all but one play. But the two sub-corners
• 12:33
  Speaker 4: that make him go to dime and put Witherspoon inside
• 12:36
  Speaker 4: with even Warrior on the field, Pritchett and Diggs only
• 12:41
  Speaker 4: played 12 snaps total between them of the 60. So 20%
• 12:45
  Speaker 4: of the time was the only time they had the
• 12:48
  Speaker 4: sixth defensive back dime with.
• 12:49
  Speaker 5: Eamon Worry on the field. They had Eamon Worry up
• 12:52
  Speaker 5: as a linebacker.
• 12:53
  Speaker 4: Technically that's nickel because they list Eamon Worry as a safety,
• 12:55
  Speaker 4: but it wasn't really nickel. It was Eamon Worry up
• 12:57
  Speaker 4: at the linebacker spot. Witherspoon played outside far more than
• 13:01
  Speaker 4: he did against the 49ers last year. That was McDonald's
• 13:04
  Speaker 4: counter to Shanahan and to try to give him something new.
• 13:07
  Speaker 4: And so what Shanahan did was say, okay, if you're
• 13:10
  Speaker 4: going to keep Witherspoon outside and Jobe outside as your corners,
• 13:13
  Speaker 4: I'm going to put Evans on Jobe and go to work.
• 13:16
  Speaker 4: And the, And he knew that Witherspoon would not travel
• 13:19
  Speaker 4: with Evans because McDonald doesn't do it that way. He
• 13:22
  Speaker 4: exploited that matchup, won the game in the fourth quarter
• 13:25
  Speaker 4: with it. They weren't doing much offensively until they went
• 13:29
  Speaker 4: to that, both in the first quarter for the first touchdown,
• 13:32
  Speaker 4: fourth quarter for the final touchdown, game over. And you're right,
• 13:36
  Speaker 4: Jobe got exploited, but so did McDonald for how Shanahan
• 13:40
  Speaker 4: knew he would play that.
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: Well, let me point out a couple positives to close
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: this out. Byron Murphy I thought was fantastic. Jason Myers
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: is fixed again. He was perfect yesterday. And Nehemiah Pritchett
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: has really played well. I don't know why we were
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: so worried about Nehemiah Pritchett now the way he's playing
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: all of a sudden.
• 13:59
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it was because of his tackling in the preseason.
• 14:01
  Speaker 4: The coaches were upset about it. But he only played
• 14:03
  Speaker 4: four defensive snaps yesterday, and one of them was the interception.
• 14:06
  Speaker 4: That was Purdy's worst throw of the day behind the receiver.
• 14:09
  Speaker 4: Pritchett just kind of the ball found him. But the
• 14:12
  Speaker 4: play that everyone really liked the coaches was.
• 14:15
  Speaker 5: The punt return.
• 14:16
  Speaker 4: Not only did he smack the guy as soon as
• 14:18
  Speaker 4: he caught the ball as he was muffing it to
• 14:20
  Speaker 4: cause the fumble and the Seahawks got the touchdown out
• 14:22
  Speaker 4: of it. It was how he got off the line
• 14:25
  Speaker 4: as the gunner. Gunners are double teamed outside. It's like
• 14:29
  Speaker 4: legal violence. If you did that on the street, you'd
• 14:31
  Speaker 4: be thrown in jail for assault. They just get banged
• 14:34
  Speaker 4: on by two dudes all the way to the sideline.
• 14:36
  Speaker 4: And he beat them both right off the line of
• 14:38
  Speaker 4: scrimmage with like a defensive end speed pass rush move.
• 14:42
  Speaker 4: And that allowed him free down the left side, and
• 14:44
  Speaker 4: no one blocked him. He ran like 45 yards unblocked
• 14:47
  Speaker 4: with no 49er in front of him and was standing
• 14:49
  Speaker 4: right there when Cowling was trying to.
• 14:52
  Speaker 5: Field the ball.
• 14:52
  Speaker 4: That's how he forced the fumble. So, yeah, he shows
• 14:55
  Speaker 4: up big, and that's why Diggs isn't.
• 14:57
  Speaker 5: Playing more than he is because of Pritchett.
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: Ernest Jones okay after the headbutt?
• 15:03
  Speaker 5: He had a bloody forehead.
• 15:05
  Speaker 4: I asked him how much resistance and restraint he had
• 15:08
  Speaker 4: to show in himself that day. wall off on him
• 15:11
  Speaker 4: and draw the penalty and ejection instead of Greenlaw. He said, yeah,
• 15:15
  Speaker 4: I want to do a lot more than I did,
• 15:17
  Speaker 4: but throw up my hands there. But he said anybody,
• 15:19
  Speaker 4: he's going to do that too, but especially when you
• 15:21
  Speaker 4: go after my quarterback on your sidelines.
• 15:24
  Speaker 5: He wasn't the only one.
• 15:24
  Speaker 4: Ty Okada and Nicky Maury were trying to get some
• 15:27
  Speaker 4: of Greenlaw too. It's just Greenlaw turned and the first
• 15:29
  Speaker 4: forehead he saw was Ernest Jones.
• 15:31
  Speaker 5: Wow. All right.
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: Well, there's a lot more to discuss, but I'll leave
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: that to you, I guess, at 10 o'clock here today. So,
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: you know, have at it. Empty the notebook. Yeah.
• 15:40
  Speaker 5: Yes, we will do that.
• 15:41
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 15:42
  Speaker 5: All right.
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: Thanks, man.
• 15:43
  Speaker 4: And since you brought it up, I will bring up
• 15:45
  Speaker 4: just real quickly. The News Tribune laid me off yesterday
• 15:49
  Speaker 4: as my last day. Forty percent of McClatchy laid off
• 15:53
  Speaker 4: right at six months after the McClatchy invest in pivots
• 15:56
  Speaker 4: to AI. They go to laying off 40 percent of
• 16:00
  Speaker 4: their writers and editors. So pretty easy line to draw there.
• 16:03
  Speaker 4: But I really wanted to salute the legacy of the
• 16:06
  Speaker 4: News Tribune. It goes way back to John Clayton. and
• 16:10
  Speaker 4: Dave Bowling and John McGrath and Mike Sandoe and Eric
• 16:14
  Speaker 4: Williams and Todd Billis and Ryan Divish and Christian Capel.
• 16:20
  Speaker 4: That was a hell of a sports section, and it
• 16:22
  Speaker 4: went everywhere. The Olympics, Final Fours, Super Bowls, and it's
• 16:28
  Speaker 4: just poof, gone. They just eliminated the whole damn thing.
• 16:31
  Speaker 4: It's the way of print journalism. I'm still going to
• 16:33
  Speaker 4: cover the Seahawks for the KGR. I'm going to Denver
• 16:37
  Speaker 4: for KGR, covering the game on Thursday night. And I've
• 16:40
  Speaker 4: got a couple things I'm working on to keep.
• 16:42
  Speaker 5: Doing Seahawks and Seattle sports. I'm hoping to get here.
• 16:45
  Speaker 5: We'll see what happens. Thank you.
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: I have heard that there's something in the works. So, yes. Well,
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: thank you, sir. We appreciate it. I think it's horrible
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: what they've decided there, but I'm glad you're going to
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: still be part of our lives.
• 17:01
  Speaker 5: I appreciate that.
• 17:02
  Speaker 4: Yeah, they ruined an institution, and.
• 17:04
  Speaker 5: That's just really sad. All right.
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: Well, Greg, we'll listen at 10.
• 17:08
  Speaker 5: Appreciate you. Thank you.
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: All right, Greg Bell, our Seahawks insider. Joining us next,
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: we're going to play some Factor Fiction at 735. And,
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: of course, we're going to squeeze in some Huskies talk
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: as well on Sports Radio 93.3 KJR FM. All right,
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: Factor Fiction coming up.
• 17:29
  Speaker 6: If you texted Fiction every single time, you'd probably be
• 17:32
  Speaker 6: in the lead right now.
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: I'm not even joking when I say that.
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we've had a rough go at it, but Chris
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: Kidd's going to turn things around here in two minutes
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: from now. 7.35, we'll play some Factor Fiction, so get ready,
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: get ready. Also, Hugh Millen will be with us today
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: at 8 o'clock until 9.40. Our QB1 will have a
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: Monday morning quarterback session, and yes, nobody likes losses, but
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: they do sometimes make for good radio. to point out
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: all the frustrating things and the things that went wrong.
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: And there were a lot of things to point out about.
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: So can't wait to get Hugh's thoughts on what he
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: watched Sunday out at Lumen Field, a 32-29 loss to
• 18:17
  Speaker 3: the San Francisco 49ers. And as bad as that loss felt,
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: certainly was not the catastrophe that Friday night was for
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: the Huskies, who just got destroyed by the Iowa Hawkeyes, 41-24.
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: Demond Williams continued to struggle, left the game with an injury.
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: Of course, there's this feeling of, is it Demond? Is
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: it the offensive line? Well, Demond didn't do himself any
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: favors by leaving the game and allowing Elijah Brown to
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: come in and go 28 for 39 with 251 passing
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: yards and three touchdowns in his absence. And frankly, for
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: one simple thing, Anders, He wasn't sitting there waiting in
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: the pocket for the most open receiver. He knew his
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: offensive line is not protecting very well. He's been watching
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: it from the sideline all season long. And he simply
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: came in and threw it to the first open receiver
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: that he saw. He just got rid of the ball, which, again,
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: speaks to most quarterbacks that struggle with sacks. They're the problem.
• 19:27
  Speaker 3: Not the whole problem. but the biggest problem, and I
• 19:30
  Speaker 3: know that DeMond Williams has been running for his life,
• 19:32
  Speaker 3: and I know they haven't schemed up some very good
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: plays for him, and it's been difficult to find open receivers,
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: but Elijah Brown at least came in and took what
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: the defense was giving him. Now, it's in a mop-up role,
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: and they're playing pre-bent defense and it won't be the
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: same situation next week. But under the circumstances, he at
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: least was finding open receivers and not taking sacks.
• 19:54
  Speaker 6: He had more success than DeMond has really had all
• 19:56
  Speaker 6: year long against a pretty good Iowa defense too. It's
• 20:01
  Speaker 6: not like they're playing these cupcakes and he comes in
• 20:04
  Speaker 6: and just throws a bunch of to a bunch of
• 20:07
  Speaker 6: backup defensive backs or anything like that. But I just
• 20:11
  Speaker 6: think the conclusion that I've drawn after that kind of
• 20:15
  Speaker 6: change and what we saw on Friday night with UW
• 20:17
  Speaker 6: versus Iowa is I don't think the offense is designed
• 20:20
  Speaker 6: very well for someone with the Mon Williams skill set.
• 20:24
  Speaker 6: It's designed so much more for someone like Elijah Brown's
• 20:27
  Speaker 6: skill set. Anticipation throws, get the ball out early, play
• 20:32
  Speaker 6: on schedule, And the offense looks a lot better now.
• 20:36
  Speaker 6: There's obviously other issues with the team besides just, Oh, there.
• 20:39
  Speaker 3: Were open receivers in the end zone. I mean, uh, yeah,
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: there was some question about Jed fish. There wasn't really
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: any question about Ryan Walters defense coming into this season
• 20:49
  Speaker 3: and Iowa was just running free. Yeah. The 200 yard
• 20:53
  Speaker 3: rusher receivers wide open in the end zone. I mean,
• 20:57
  Speaker 3: it was a disaster Friday. There's no other way to
• 21:00
  Speaker 3: put it. All right, let's play some Factor Fiction.
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: We're set to go.
• 21:03
  Speaker 3: Glad you're with us.
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: It's your shot at our weekly $ 1, 000 and the $ 10, 000
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: grand prize. It's Factor Fiction. Proudly presented by Lucky Eagle
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: Casino and Hotel, where every day feels lucky. Factor Fiction
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: is on.
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: Sports Radio 93.3.
• 21:20
  Speaker 5: KJR FM.
• 21:25
  Speaker 3: All right, here we go. It's called a turnaround, people.
• 21:31
  Speaker 3: We started today with Christopher Kidd. He is ready. He's
• 21:34
  Speaker 3: locked in. He's got a pick. He's got a gem.
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: He's got one that's going to change nations, much less
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: our fortunes.
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: In fact, your fiction is a show.
• 21:44
  Speaker 6: I don't know what you're talking about. We went one
• 21:46
  Speaker 6: of four and had the second best week last week.
• 21:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah, by comparison, we're on fire. Yeah, that's true.
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: All right, kid, what do you got? Let's get it
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: started with a win. A lot of pressure here, but
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: I will go to London.
• 21:59
  Speaker 3: Oh.
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: A little prepared.
• 22:00
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 22:01
  Speaker 7: And I'll take the Texans plus two and a half
• 22:03
  Speaker 7: versus Jacksonville in London.
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: 6.30 a.m. kickoff next Sunday.
• 22:08
  Speaker 7: So I'm going to take the Texans plus two and
• 22:10
  Speaker 7: a half to win that game. I know you're talking
• 22:12
  Speaker 7: about the defense and they're finding things, figuring things out.
• 22:15
  Speaker 7: They got Marvin Harrison. Maybe that adds a little element
• 22:18
  Speaker 7: to their offense.
• 22:18
  Speaker 5: I doubt it.
• 22:20
  Speaker 7: CJ Stroud looks really good, so let's just hope they can.
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: Cover this two points. Don't lose by more than three.
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: That's all I ask for.
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: Is that it? That's all you're going to ask for.
• 22:30
  Speaker 3: I think that's fair.
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: That's all we need. Is that fair, Chuck?
• 22:32
  Speaker 5: Well, yeah.
• 22:33
  Speaker 3: I think it's fair to ask of that.
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: Is it going to happen?
• 22:37
  Speaker 3: Good luck.
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: But yeah, plus two and a half. I don't hate it.
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: You didn't hate the last pick I made.
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: I don't like it.
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: You don't like it? No.
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: I think Jacksonville's really good, too. Plus, they've had two
• 22:49
  Speaker 3: weeks to sit in one.
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: Are they going to stay there?
• 22:51
  Speaker 3: What do you mean?
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: Jacksonville?
• 22:53
  Speaker 5: Oh, yeah.
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm sure they will. Back-to-back days. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But,
• 22:58
  Speaker 3: you know what? It's not like I'm on fire.
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: 50-50 shot.
• 23:03
  Speaker 3: That's right.
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: Let's leave it to the audience.
• 23:06
  Speaker 3: The only thing that matters are the Factor Fiction contestants. So,
• 23:11
  Speaker 3: if you like the selection, you're going to text FACT
• 23:14
  Speaker 3: to 49451. If you dislike it, you text FICTION to 49451. Again,
• 23:20
  Speaker 3: this is a neutral field, sort of. Jacksonville's got a
• 23:24
  Speaker 3: pretty decent London fan base. Yeah, they do. But two
• 23:28
  Speaker 3: and a half points, the Texans will be getting... Against
• 23:32
  Speaker 3: the Jaguars, that means the Jaguars would have to win
• 23:35
  Speaker 3: by three points or more in order for Kidd to
• 23:38
  Speaker 3: be wrong. So if you agree with that selection, again,
• 23:41
  Speaker 3: fact to 49451. If you disagree with it, fiction to 49451.
• 23:46
  Speaker 3: If you're right, we enter your name into a drawing
• 23:48
  Speaker 3: for a $ 1, 000 weekly cash prize. You can play every
• 23:53
  Speaker 3: single time we play, and every time you're right, we
• 23:55
  Speaker 3: enter your name into that weekly drawing. And then, of course,
• 23:59
  Speaker 3: $ 10, 000 is going to be the jackpot for the Factor
• 24:02
  Speaker 3: Fiction champion this year of 2026. That means you got
• 24:06
  Speaker 3: the most correct picks during the entire Factor Fiction season.
• 24:12
  Speaker 3: And that will set you up for $ 10, 000 provided by
• 24:14
  Speaker 3: Lucky Eagle Casino and Hotel. Lucky Eagle Casino, where every
• 24:19
  Speaker 3: day feels lucky. Roar!
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: Caw-caw!
• 24:23
  Speaker 3: Roar! Roar!
• 24:26
  Speaker 6: Eventually we're going to get the actual sound. That's what
• 24:28
  Speaker 6: I need my pick to do to be played.
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I need that.
• 24:33
  Speaker 3: All right. Next chance to play comes up at 1135
• 24:36
  Speaker 3: this morning with Greg and with Jessamyn. So one last time,
• 24:41
  Speaker 3: Chris is taking the Houston Texans plus two and a
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: half versus Jacksonville in London. Facts.
• 24:50
  Speaker 5: Come on.
• 24:51
  Speaker 3: 49451 if you agree. Fiction. If you disagree coming up next,
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: it's Mike on the mic. We always hear from coach
• 24:58
  Speaker 3: McDonald after every Seahawks game here on a Monday sports radio,
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: 93.3 KJR FM.
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: We didn't do it.
• 25:05
  Speaker 3: And the 49ers did that today. So give them credit.
• 25:09
  Speaker 5: They played a good game and we'll move forward.
• 25:11
  Speaker 3: Mike McDonald, Mike on the mic every Monday here on
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: the radio program. Mike McDonald's. evaluation of his own team
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: over the music of Mike McDonald. It is a beautiful combination.
• 25:24
  Speaker 3: That's about as frustrated as I've ever seen him. He
• 25:26
  Speaker 3: was very short with the media yesterday, which I think
• 25:29
  Speaker 3: reflects his mood. He was very angry. I think he
• 25:31
  Speaker 3: is having a very difficult time processing why we fix
• 25:35
  Speaker 3: one thing and then something else falls apart. To his
• 25:39
  Speaker 3: credit and the team's credit, which he brought up during
• 25:41
  Speaker 3: his press conference, that the emphasis this week was no extracurriculars.
• 25:47
  Speaker 3: And against a rival that was trying to poke the
• 25:50
  Speaker 3: bear over and over, they did avoid that extracurricular penalty
• 25:58
  Speaker 3: that led to the 49ers losing a very valuable member
• 26:01
  Speaker 3: of their defense at one point, and yet the Seahawks
• 26:04
  Speaker 3: kept their cool. And I don't think that it took
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: away from their edge either. They played fiercely, I thought. Um,
• 26:12
  Speaker 3: the only stupid penalty was the Elijah Arroyo. I'm going
• 26:15
  Speaker 3: to try to punch you because you picked off a pass.
• 26:17
  Speaker 3: I didn't really try for, uh, you know, there was that. Um, but, um,
• 26:22
  Speaker 3: so I, I think that they did correct that, but
• 26:24
  Speaker 3: you correct one thing that you felt was bogging you
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: down the week before in a narrow escape win against
• 26:30
  Speaker 3: the chargers. And then the fumble issue, the turnover issue, uh,
• 26:35
  Speaker 3: becomes even more magnified this week.
• 26:37
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 26:37
  Speaker 6: I mean, it's just like you said, you plug one hole,
• 26:40
  Speaker 6: another one, finds itself to be leaking again. And I
• 26:45
  Speaker 6: think you're right, and I think Greg pointed it out well.
• 26:48
  Speaker 6: The reason he got so frustrated in talking about all
• 26:52
  Speaker 6: this stuff is because he feels like he got outcoached
• 26:55
  Speaker 6: by Kyle Shanahan, really, for the first time.
• 26:58
  Speaker 3: I don't know if he got outcoached. He didn't dominate
• 27:02
  Speaker 3: him like he has the last two times. I thought
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: that it was a really evenly fought game where both
• 27:08
  Speaker 3: teams were making mistakes and both coaches were having wins
• 27:11
  Speaker 3: yeah and both coaches were having losses but in the
• 27:14
  Speaker 3: fourth quarter yeah he found something you can't stop mike
• 27:20
  Speaker 3: evans you don't have the right guy on him And
• 27:23
  Speaker 3: I'm going to take advantage of it. And that also
• 27:25
  Speaker 3: has something to do with Brock Purdy throwing passes exactly
• 27:28
  Speaker 3: where they needed to be. Purdy's, his motor slowed down
• 27:32
  Speaker 3: in the fourth quarter. I think the Seahawks defense got fatigued.
• 27:36
  Speaker 3: I think that's a fair evaluation of the group in
• 27:39
  Speaker 3: the fourth quarter. And that led to Brock Purdy having
• 27:42
  Speaker 3: a little bit more time. And with that little bit
• 27:44
  Speaker 3: more time in the fourth quarter, he just kept finding
• 27:47
  Speaker 3: his number one target over and over.
• 27:49
  Speaker 6: And it's worth also saying that Mike Evans also is,
• 27:52
  Speaker 6: He's used to bullying.
• 27:55
  Speaker 4: Corners.
• 27:56
  Speaker 6: He does this quite a bit to a lot of
• 27:57
  Speaker 6: different guys. It's not like Josh Jobe was completely blowing
• 28:00
  Speaker 6: coverages left and right.
• 28:01
  Speaker 3: Oh, he was up on him.
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: Exactly. Just can't make the play.
• 28:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and nothing was done to change that, which we'll
• 28:07
  Speaker 3: hear about here in a moment. But I think the
• 28:10
  Speaker 3: biggest issue, I think everybody will agree with this, was
• 28:12
  Speaker 3: the turnovers. And not just the two interceptions from Sam,
• 28:16
  Speaker 3: but the two fumbles that directly led to 14 points,
• 28:20
  Speaker 3: one in the end zone at the least opportune time.
• 28:25
  Speaker 3: And then even the Emmanuel Wilson, which I think was
• 28:28
  Speaker 3: a forgivable fumble because of how well Fred Warner popped
• 28:32
  Speaker 3: it out. Still, the place that you fumbled that football
• 28:36
  Speaker 3: at your own 11-yard line, I mean, three turnovers directly
• 28:40
  Speaker 3: led to 21 points. And in a game you lose
• 28:42
  Speaker 3: by three, it's hard not to think about your fumble
• 28:45
  Speaker 3: issues and your running back issues. Here's Mike after the game. uh,
• 28:51
  Speaker 3: we're just, I mean, no, I mean, short on backs,
• 28:56
  Speaker 3: you know, I can't go out there and carry the ball. So,
• 28:58
  Speaker 3: nor do we want to, I didn't set that up. Well, um,
• 29:02
  Speaker 3: he was asked the question about why didn't you bench?
• 29:05
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 29:05
  Speaker 3: Uh, Halani, like you did Jadarian price. And his answer
• 29:10
  Speaker 3: was very short. He was very short with the media yesterday.
• 29:14
  Speaker 3: And he's not like that. Most of the time, uh,
• 29:17
  Speaker 3: he's like, I don't have two running backs. I don't
• 29:18
  Speaker 3: have anybody else I trust. But I don't think you
• 29:21
  Speaker 3: can trust George Helani either. And what's really interesting for
• 29:24
  Speaker 3: those that went to the game versus watched the game,
• 29:27
  Speaker 3: Tom Brady was pointing out Helani's poor... The whole time.
• 29:31
  Speaker 3: The entire game before two fumbles. And then again, after
• 29:35
  Speaker 3: he had fumbled twice, he still was carrying the ball
• 29:39
  Speaker 3: loosely and briefly. just without being cruel, just kept bringing
• 29:44
  Speaker 3: it up. Like, I just don't like the way that
• 29:45
  Speaker 3: he's carrying the football right now. And the way that
• 29:49
  Speaker 3: he carried the football, I mean, there are 15 ways,
• 29:52
  Speaker 3: 15 things we could point out as to why the
• 29:55
  Speaker 3: Seahawks lost this game. This is at least, this is
• 29:58
  Speaker 3: no lower than third And maybe number one.
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah.
• 30:01
  Speaker 6: And if you were to break down the plays and
• 30:05
  Speaker 6: rank what different plays lost this game, I think number
• 30:09
  Speaker 6: one would be the Helani fumble right before halftime. you
• 30:12
  Speaker 6: could say the JSN drop right before the fourth down
• 30:15
  Speaker 6: is a big one as well.
• 30:16
  Speaker 3: That's a big one.
• 30:17
  Speaker 6: Uh, there's, and there's just Sam Donald's first pass of
• 30:20
  Speaker 6: the game. And then in the first play of the
• 30:23
  Speaker 6: second half, or one of the first plays, the second
• 30:25
  Speaker 6: half as well, when they have a chance, even after
• 30:27
  Speaker 6: the bad first half to go down and, um, you know,
• 30:30
  Speaker 6: get back in this game, there were eight points down,
• 30:32
  Speaker 6: get the ball to start the second half and you
• 30:34
  Speaker 6: throw another interception. It's just, I'm sure we'll talk about
• 30:38
  Speaker 6: it with you, but it's Sam Donald needs to figure
• 30:41
  Speaker 6: that out. I'm like, that's like four really bad turnovers
• 30:45
  Speaker 6: since he's came back yeah but i thought.
• 30:47
  Speaker 3: He played well in the other two games with the
• 30:49
  Speaker 3: exception of those you know the the the two isolated
• 30:54
  Speaker 3: plays in those games i don't think he played well
• 30:56
  Speaker 3: yesterday i felt he played he was rushed the entire
• 31:00
  Speaker 3: game he never got in sync uh with his offense
• 31:04
  Speaker 3: yeah he made a few scrambling plays where he stayed
• 31:06
  Speaker 3: alive and and saved their bacon a couple of times,
• 31:09
  Speaker 3: but that also speaks to, it just felt like the
• 31:11
  Speaker 3: game was moving too fast for him. Here's Mike McDonald, though,
• 31:16
  Speaker 3: talking about Mike Evans serving Josh Jobe his lunch, and
• 31:20
  Speaker 3: yet he never thought about changing up. What do you mean,
• 31:23
  Speaker 3: treat him to anything different?
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: You're not covering him up any differently? It seemed like
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: Jobe was kind of on an island.
• 31:30
  Speaker 3: No.
• 31:31
  Speaker 4: What do you mean, treat him to anything?
• 31:32
  Speaker 5: The guy's a great receiver.
• 31:34
  Speaker 3: We're trying to cover him. I thought it was a
• 31:36
  Speaker 3: perfectly fair question because I was thinking it. I was thinking,
• 31:41
  Speaker 3: I mean, we got Hugh coming up next. Maybe he
• 31:43
  Speaker 3: will like, no, there's nothing you can do.
• 31:45
  Speaker 5: You've got to go with.
• 31:46
  Speaker 3: You know, you got to dance with the girl. You brung,
• 31:49
  Speaker 3: you know, maybe, maybe he'll tell us that. But, but
• 31:51
  Speaker 3: when you're watching a receiver of the game, especially he's
• 31:54
  Speaker 3: even injured and he's having the game that he was having.
• 31:57
  Speaker 3: And then in the fourth quarter, just, just kept taking
• 31:59
  Speaker 3: Job's lunch from him, you know, I wonder why you
• 32:03
  Speaker 3: wouldn't try something else. Yeah.
• 32:05
  Speaker 5: And they never did.
• 32:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 32:06
  Speaker 6: It's like, you're this, you know, defensive mastermind. We all
• 32:09
  Speaker 6: give you a bunch of credit for it, but yet
• 32:11
  Speaker 6: you still end up having their literal only healthy receiver
• 32:15
  Speaker 6: at that point. Like Debo was out. They had a
• 32:17
  Speaker 6: bunch of other guys that were out. He was the
• 32:19
  Speaker 6: only guy they could throw to at the wide receiver position.
• 32:22
  Speaker 6: And your worst starting defensive back is covering him on
• 32:25
  Speaker 6: every single play.
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: How, where's the adjustment?
• 32:28
  Speaker 3: Well, I don't think that he's considered their worst.
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: We're starting.
• 32:32
  Speaker 5: Starting.
• 32:32
  Speaker 3: Well, he's worse than Witherspoon.
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and Eamon Worry and Julian Love.
• 32:37
  Speaker 6: I'm not saying they should come, but just logically breaking
• 32:40
  Speaker 6: all that down, they're one healthy guy.
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: You mentioned Eamon Worry. I would have had him on him.
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: I would have considered it.
• 32:47
  Speaker 3: Maybe Hugh will say, no, you can't do that.
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: And I get that's not how you do defense, but yeah,
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: it's just make an adjustment.
• 32:53
  Speaker 3: And then the other thing I just wanted to mention quickly,
• 32:55
  Speaker 3: and we're over, but Hugh's coming up here at the
• 32:57
  Speaker 3: top of the hour. I don't know when else I'm
• 33:00
  Speaker 3: going to get a chance to mention this, but Kyle
• 33:02
  Speaker 3: Shanahan at the half, like the quotes from him, that
• 33:06
  Speaker 3: was exactly the half we wanted. Oh, you mean two
• 33:10
  Speaker 3: ridiculously fortunate fumbles? Like you strategized for that?
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: He didn't just give it to you?
• 33:15
  Speaker 3: And an interception right at your receiver to start, right
• 33:18
  Speaker 3: at your defensive back to start the game. And then
• 33:21
  Speaker 3: number two, he then added, they're trying to bait us. Wait,
• 33:25
  Speaker 3: we're trying to bait you?
• 33:26
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 33:30
  Speaker 3: I mean, just two foolish statements to make at the halftime. Yeah,
• 33:35
  Speaker 3: that's exactly what we prepared for. We prepared for two
• 33:38
  Speaker 3: fumbles inside the 12-yard line, and just according to script.
• 33:43
  Speaker 5: Perfect.
• 33:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah, nice job. Good execution on our part. All right,
• 33:47
  Speaker 3: Hugh Millman's next. Sports Radio 93.3 KJRFM.
