• 2:18

• 2:30
  Speaker 4: river Wow, yeah, I.
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: Might have to stand up. I don't know if I'm

• 2:35
  Speaker 6: Of the worst nugeen.
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: Oh oh, she.
• 2:41
  Speaker 7: Looks like a Thursday night football player. Cal Rawly dressed
• 2:45
  Speaker 7: is a Thursday night color rush Seahawks.
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: It's a multi You've just covered every part of the
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: spectrum here.
• 2:52
  Speaker 4: How do you people grow these? It's although I do
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: think I have it up my nose basically.
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's real. Well, yours is artificial attached. Usually mustaches
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: are just part of a person's face.
• 3:04
  Speaker 8: I think you do have a valid point there.
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, so there's that.
• 3:07
  Speaker 8: There is this So I had it too high up
• 3:09
  Speaker 8: on my mouth.
• 3:09
  Speaker 7: If I went from never having one to having the
• 3:12
  Speaker 7: one you have to it'd be uncomfortable.
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah overnight, Yeah, it's different. Leasers didn't itch while it
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: was growing in, that's true.
• 3:19
  Speaker 8: I didn't have to go through all the growing pains
• 3:21
  Speaker 8: of it.
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: Well, good morning everybody, and happy Halloween. Yes, as a
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: show back on Monday, PS thought it would be such
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: a great idea for us to wear costumes and then
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: put out photos. He's always trying to get us to
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: do social media, and Bucky and I are always like no, yeah, yeah,
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: And so he's like, man, you got to dress up.
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: I mean, Halloween's on a football Friday, and we were
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: just tossing it around, uh, you know, kind of a
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: brainstorming session, and I just threw out there like, well,
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: while everybody else is dressing up, maybe we should dress
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: down for Halloween. And I think maybe this is something
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: that could catch on that the kids their Halloween is
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: dress up. You know, they have so much fun doing that.
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: Meanwhile the adults have to spend so much energy trying
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: to come up with the perfect costume for the kids
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: that they're exhausted to come up with their own costume.
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: And so, uh, maybe this is something that we'll catch on.
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: We just decided we were gonna dress down. We're just
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: gonna wear pajamas to work here today, and so we're
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: doing it. We're all in our onesies here on Halloween Friday, so.
• 4:32
  Speaker 6: Here we go. Great idea ps because we're on radio.
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: Yeah, but I will say thanks for the suggestion of
• 4:40
  Speaker 4: dressing down because it was real easy to figure out
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: what to wear it at. Yeah, and I'm I'm actually
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: warmer right now than I usually am.
• 4:47
  Speaker 7: I'm not going to be in this very long. This
• 4:50
  Speaker 7: thing is hotter than don't agree.
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm gonna have to watch a look at Bucky's
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: bear chest apparently zipping up.
• 5:03
  Speaker 7: Pretty soon, it'll be off almost sitting here with no shirt,
• 5:07
  Speaker 7: I have an out.
• 5:09
  Speaker 8: I have a tank top. I could take mine off.
• 5:11
  Speaker 8: You could wear my tank top.
• 5:13
  Speaker 7: You brought a pair of shorts and shirt, my normal
• 5:16
  Speaker 7: attire that I wear. Yeah, this one has footies too,
• 5:19
  Speaker 7: But if I put those on, then I even then
• 5:21
  Speaker 7: I even sweat more.
• 5:22
  Speaker 8: It does look like it's a very like a valure.
• 5:25
  Speaker 8: It's very Yeah, it's like it's almost like a blanket.
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, snuggy.
• 5:30
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: And he's got like monogram initials over there left breast.
• 5:35
  Speaker 8: Pretty fancy.
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly.
• 5:37
  Speaker 6: This was my first endorsement here at I heart back
• 5:42
  Speaker 6: for me.
• 5:42
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 5:43
  Speaker 7: If I had to say on the ad that they're
• 5:46
  Speaker 7: so comfortable, they are very comfortable.
• 5:48
  Speaker 8: I think I remember hearing you do those, but they're
• 5:50
  Speaker 8: just so hot.
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the onesie is warm. I think that's kind of
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: the idea there. You don't remember when were anything else,
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: but mine was more like yours. Yours is just like
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: looks like T shirt material, not this fluffy blanket. Yeah,
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: yours looks thicker. Yeah, and mine's warm enough.
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's more like kids they have like their fluffy Yeah,
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: that's like what kids.
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: Well, I'll tell you this. I think Bucky was feeling
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: less than himself wearing this this morning because I always
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: come in and we always and it's strategic, like our
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: hello is just very brief. Yeh. I've told Bucky when
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: we first started, I'm like, I don't like to talk
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: too much in the morning because I don't want to
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: give any good stuff away. I want our initial reactions
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: and conversation to be on the air, no matter what
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: we're wearing, or what we're doing, or how our lives
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: are going, whatever the case may be. Just a little
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: thing that radio people have done for a long time,
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: especially mourning people, and so usually it's just a hey,
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: what's up. What's up? Today? Bucky's what's up was a
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: lot deeper than normal what's up? Yeah, it was a
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: lot deeper. Yeah, yeah, oh it was. It was subconscious.
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, like I'm feeling a little bit like a
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: kid right now, and so I think I think it
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: was more so.
• 7:04
  Speaker 7: I got this eight years ago, put it on one time,
• 7:08
  Speaker 7: started to melt it, then went in the closet and
• 7:10
  Speaker 7: hasn't been touched since. And then I put it on today.
• 7:13
  Speaker 7: I'm like, okay, but I knew it was warm. I
• 7:15
  Speaker 7: didn't realize how warm it is. I forgot over the
• 7:18
  Speaker 7: last eight years. So I think what you heard was,
• 7:22
  Speaker 7: oh man, this is hot. What's up? This is I'm
• 7:27
  Speaker 7: smoldering in this thing right now.
• 7:29
  Speaker 8: Excellent.
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: The only segment. So if anybody wants to take a picture,
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: we're going to have.
• 7:34
  Speaker 8: To take a picture where we're going to get in trouble.
• 7:36
  Speaker 8: And we did this for nothing.
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: Not for nothing. Actually we're starting a new trend.
• 7:42
  Speaker 4: No I like that, but I'm saying, we did it
• 7:44
  Speaker 4: what the boss told us to do for nothing.
• 7:47
  Speaker 8: You have to at least get credit for doing what
• 7:48
  Speaker 8: he told us.
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: He's not even in town right now, so we can't
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: even hear this segment.
• 7:51
  Speaker 6: So yeah, better be dressed up or down.
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: We better provide some pictorial evidence that we did something
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: as a show for Halloween Friday. Before I get naked,
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: before Bucky strips down right, I could.
• 8:06
  Speaker 7: Be a strip. I could be a guy in a
• 8:08
  Speaker 7: onesie that strips strip.
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: A gram that'll that'll go over well. A households tonight.
• 8:14
  Speaker 7: As you're on radio find for everybody except for YouTube
• 8:18
  Speaker 7: on our radio program.
• 8:20
  Speaker 6: I think it's a great idea.
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: You just take like we weren't, weren't worm kind of
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: music with you as you're taking the kids trigger.
• 8:26
  Speaker 6: Shoulder, Actually you want to shoot one of these bad boys.
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: Another thing, little sidebar that is kind of funny is
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: for some reason, as Bucky was like unzipping his thing,
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: because Buggy doesn't have a belly button. Oh, I was
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: thinking for some reason, I'm like, wait a minute, you
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: don't have nipples.
• 8:45
  Speaker 6: What are your showing?
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: And then I remember that, Oh no, it was the
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: belly button. Yeah, a little nipples. I am sans belly button.
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: But for a second, across my mind like why are
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: you show I don't want to see your nipples chest
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: That would look weird, looks normal?
• 9:05
  Speaker 6: No nips?
• 9:07
  Speaker 8: What if you didn't have either of them?
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: We would think that Buggy's actually just an android, not
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: really ab been fooling us for years, which does transition
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: neatly into today's first sports topic of the day. Because
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: it is Halloween, the Seahawks will play on Sunday. It's
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: not like they're playing tonight. But I think they've been
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: a part of a little bit of a masquerade so
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: far this season. I think that we've gone half a
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: football season through the bye week, and we've talked about
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: all sorts of things with this football team. Sam Darnold
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: having a great year, JSN has probably broken through to
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: the top tier of wide receivers in the National Football League.
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: Mike McDonald's defense gets praise every week that doesn't include Tampa.
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: Uh So we we've covered a lot of different angles,
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: and for whatever, I think that this maybe other shows
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: have been doing this thoroughly. I think this show's may
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: be falling a little bit short. Even with our analysts
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: in talking about how infrequently Sam Donald has been sacked
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: this year, we are currently I mean, you could argue
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: well fewest sacks in the National Football League. Sam's Denver.
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: Denver's the only team. Boonex is the only quarterback that's
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: been sacked less than Sam Darnald so far this season,
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: so nine times. That's it. Sam Donald's been sacked nine times.
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: Consider how much it has been discussed in the last
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: decade plus the Sea Hawk offensive line issues and how
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: terrible this offensive line was, and if you'd give Geno
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: Smith more time than need look, look the results that
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: you could potentially have. Russell's just running for his life
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: at all times. And I'm not here to discredit that criticism.
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: Over the last ten years, there was something to it.
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: The offensive line wasn't great, But I think what you're
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: seeing this year is it really does And I'm not
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: saying all of it, but there's a large percentage of
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: sack totals comes down to whether or not the quarterback
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: knows how to get rid of the football and how
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: quickly to get rid of the football and on time
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: to get rid of the football, And even if the
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: play's not there, I'm still going to get rid of
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: the football because I'm not going to take a sack. Look,
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: I think the offensive line is improved. I think grays
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: Abel's having a really good year and has been a
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: terrific addition to this team. But you really think Gray's
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: Abel just adding a rookie guard out of some tiny
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: college has been the reason why the Seahawks don't get
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: sacked anymore. We don't have sacks anymore. No, it's part
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: of it. I mean he's obviously contributed to that. The
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: system with Clint Kubiak. Yeah, that's a significant portion of
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: this equation as well. I think he is coaching to
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: get rid of the football quicker and certainly something Greg
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: talks about all the time, the establishment of the running game,
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: no matter if it's working. That's contributed certainly. But I
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: think the main issue is and has been Gino and
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: Russ not getting rid of the football. That's why he
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: had fifty sacks last year. I mean maybe, yeah, the
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: offensive line wasn't as good and the offensive system maybe
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: not as sharp under Ryan Grubb, but Gino Smith's still
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: getting sacked. I mean he has twice the number of
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: sacks that Sam Darnold has this year with the Las
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: Vegas Raiders. So what's the common denominator there. It's that
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: we got rid of a quarterback that holds onto the
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: ball too long, and he didn't hold on the ball
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: as long as Russell did. Yeah, right, I mean Russell's
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: abilities overcame some of that, especially early in his career,
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: but he was terrible at getting rid of the football,
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: and Gino wasn't much better. We've got a quarterback that's
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: getting rid of the football for goodness sake, and so yes,
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: offensive lines improved. Yes, Clint Kubiak system I think does
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: help a quarterback not get sacked getting rid of the football.
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: But mostly it is Sam Darnold being aware enough of
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: the pass rush and understanding how important it is to
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: get rid of the football. That's why we're not getting sacked, right.
• 13:31
  Speaker 7: I think that the I mean, I'm with you that
• 13:34
  Speaker 7: I think that is the predominant reason as to why
• 13:37
  Speaker 7: you're sitting as well as you are, And that's statistical
• 13:40
  Speaker 7: category is because of the quarterback getting rid of the balls,
• 13:43
  Speaker 7: not waiting so long to either decide there is nothing
• 13:48
  Speaker 7: and you dirt it, or you throw it out of bounds,
• 13:50
  Speaker 7: or you just throw it near somebody but away from
• 13:52
  Speaker 7: trouble because he's covered.
• 13:54
  Speaker 6: I think that's it. I do think a gray is able.
• 13:56
  Speaker 7: You adding one guard because I think the other guard
• 13:59
  Speaker 7: is still kind of a weakness for you. But you
• 14:01
  Speaker 7: can help one week spot if you just figure just
• 14:05
  Speaker 7: say that more often than not, if there's somebody a
• 14:08
  Speaker 7: decent pass rusher in the middle, you can send your
• 14:10
  Speaker 7: center over to help one of these guys if you
• 14:12
  Speaker 7: don't have to send it to one side, and you
• 14:14
  Speaker 7: can more often send it the other. Plus Abe Lucas
• 14:17
  Speaker 7: being back, there's help. I think that the line is better,
• 14:20
  Speaker 7: but I don't think the drastic drop from one of
• 14:23
  Speaker 7: the worst offensive lines, which is what they've been called
• 14:25
  Speaker 7: for years, because yeah, Russell Wilson was always wanting to
• 14:29
  Speaker 7: make some spectacular play, make something out of nothing, when
• 14:32
  Speaker 7: sometimes the best play is just take nothing, and then
• 14:36
  Speaker 7: it's still second and ten, not second and twenty two.
• 14:39
  Speaker 7: And same thing.
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: With well take four yards, take a profit. Yeah, you
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: don't go broke taking a profit.
• 14:44
  Speaker 6: Yeah, So I think that. I mean, I'm with you.
• 14:46
  Speaker 7: I think the main reason why they're looking good in
• 14:49
  Speaker 7: that situation isn't because the offensive line is some drastically
• 14:52
  Speaker 7: different thing, right, I mean, you essentially have eighty percent
• 14:55
  Speaker 7: of it was here last year, you have one new thing.
• 14:58
  Speaker 7: Did they just get from one of the worst to
• 15:01
  Speaker 7: now one of the best offensive lines?
• 15:02
  Speaker 10: No?
• 15:03
  Speaker 7: Because of Gray's ab Yeah, No, I think you got better.
• 15:05
  Speaker 7: I think he's able makes it better. I think that
• 15:07
  Speaker 7: having only one spot that maybe you would deem as
• 15:10
  Speaker 7: a weakness, and maybe it's one and a half. If
• 15:13
  Speaker 7: you don't think Jalen Sundell's some super world beating center, Okay, fine,
• 15:17
  Speaker 7: you still have those two together that can say, hey,
• 15:19
  Speaker 7: it's not like they're usually sending somebody at every offensive lineman.
• 15:22
  Speaker 7: So it's kind of a team thing. But most importantly
• 15:25
  Speaker 7: is the quarterback making good decisions and saying I'm not
• 15:28
  Speaker 7: going to put myself in the situation where not only
• 15:30
  Speaker 7: do you get sacked, but then you got the strip
• 15:32
  Speaker 7: sacks and you've got all kinds of just bad things
• 15:34
  Speaker 7: happen if you hold onto the ball too long.
• 15:36
  Speaker 4: It is interesting because it seems like, yeah, with the
• 15:38
  Speaker 4: offensive line with Sam Darnold, everything that they're doing is
• 15:41
  Speaker 4: just solid. But isn't When you're watching the game, you're
• 15:44
  Speaker 4: not thinking it's spectacular. Right, So nobody has gone from
• 15:48
  Speaker 4: the preseason thinking like, oh, here we go again. You know,
• 15:52
  Speaker 4: we have we really addressed our offensive line issues. It
• 15:54
  Speaker 4: seems it's what six years or longer that we've had
• 15:57
  Speaker 4: all these problems, and so you're watching every game, I'm thinking, well,
• 16:01
  Speaker 4: this is a solid, like we're playing. We're a solid team.
• 16:05
  Speaker 4: There's nothing that has stood out to seem exceptional. I
• 16:08
  Speaker 4: know you can't take me seriously and so that, but
• 16:12
  Speaker 4: that's what I think is so interesting because then to
• 16:14
  Speaker 4: hear you say the stats on the sacks, I mean,
• 16:17
  Speaker 4: you never watch the game thinking like, man, just another
• 16:20
  Speaker 4: dynamite performance by the offensive line, and Sam Donald, it's
• 16:24
  Speaker 4: just another solid performance.
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: Well, it's just dramatically improved, yes in that area, and yes,
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: I'm going to give the offensive line some credit, and
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: I'm going to give Clint Kubiak some credit, but I
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: think most of the credit goes to Sam Donald. It's
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: just like stealing bases in Major League baseball. Now, you
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: can't just look at cal Rawley's throw them out percentage
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: because so much of that has to do with how
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: close the pitcher, how good or bad the pitcher is
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: at holding on runners. I mean, it's something that has
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: been u under reported for years, and that is really
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: it probably has more to do with the pitchers and
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: how well they hold runners on first base. But every
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: time that statistical sack category comes up, it's not just
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: an offensive line stat And yet we've hung every so
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: many people and I say us because I've tried to
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: fight the good fight. So many people have tried to
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: hang every single sack. Our offensive line stinks, and I
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: don't think that's what has been So I think they
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: that they've been parading around as villains, and here on
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: Halloween they actually get to take off the mask and say, see,
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: we're not that bad of an offensive line, right, we
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: haven't been as bad as you think we've been. Maybe
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: we've been not as we're not as good. We haven't
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: been as good as we want to be. There was
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: an issue there, but we're not nearly as bad as
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: you think we've been. And now we have a quarterback.
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: And do you think that it's you know that that
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: gets rid of the football? Anythink we just Gray's Abel
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: got added and just poof, we've turned into Now we're
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: an excellent offensive line, well of the worst to one
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: of the best. Yeah, it doesn't happen that way. Just
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: like with throwing out runners, it's not just sometimes the
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: catcher doesn't have a chance. A lot of throwing out
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: runners has more to do with the pitcher not holding
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: you on than the catcher throwing down the second.
• 18:24
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 18:24
  Speaker 7: Well, I mean I think that's just speaking in absolute
• 18:27
  Speaker 7: pretty much cross the board, not just in sports, but
• 18:29
  Speaker 7: in sports most definitely that they this sucks, they can't
• 18:33
  Speaker 7: do it, They're not ever going No, there's so many
• 18:37
  Speaker 7: things that go into it, right, whether it's okay, you
• 18:41
  Speaker 7: could upgrade a position or two or three, or boy,
• 18:44
  Speaker 7: you were running with your second tackle, your second best
• 18:47
  Speaker 7: right tackle, which typically we understand how important tackles are.
• 18:51
  Speaker 7: That's where the best edge rushers are coming off of,
• 18:53
  Speaker 7: so kind of important to have your best two guys
• 18:56
  Speaker 7: out there more often than not. Otherwise it's only going
• 18:59
  Speaker 7: to compound the weakness on the inside if you're sending
• 19:02
  Speaker 7: help out there and they're running stunts and now they're
• 19:04
  Speaker 7: going against another weak spot in your in your line.
• 19:07
  Speaker 7: But yes, I think that most certainly play calling and
• 19:10
  Speaker 7: a quarterback understanding that my best punting the ball or
• 19:16
  Speaker 7: or you know, throwing an incompletion and having second and
• 19:19
  Speaker 7: ten and then maybe even third and ten is not
• 19:21
  Speaker 7: the worst thing that can happen.
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: So a lot better than second and twenty one.
• 19:24
  Speaker 7: And it's a whole of a lot better than getting
• 19:26
  Speaker 7: sacked and you know, they strip it away and next
• 19:29
  Speaker 7: thing you know, they got a short field and some
• 19:30
  Speaker 7: points on the board almost automatically.
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: All right, let's find out what's on tap for today's
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: Halloween showing.
• 19:38
  Speaker 8: What's on TEP.
• 19:40
  Speaker 6: What's on TEP?
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: All right, Seahawks Commanders Sunday Night Football. We will have
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: the National Stage five point twenty on Sunday against the Commanders.
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: Greg Bell's going to join us today at seven o
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: five to discuss at Hugh Milling at nine o'clock with
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: x's and o's, and coach Holmgern will be with us
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: at nine thirty. Greg will also update us on some
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: key injuries at seven o five as well well, and
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: the big rumor with the Seahawks that Boye Mafe may
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: be playing his final game as a Seahawk this Sunday,
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: as he could be the guy that the Seahawks move
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: at the trading deadline. Thursday Night Football. The Baltimore Ravens
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: one of the Miami Dolphins last night twenty eight to six.
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: They are now three and five on the year, and
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: their schedule gets really soft here over the next six weeks,
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: and so there's a reason why they've never not been
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: the favorite to win the AFC North. And they kind
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: of reminded us of that last night. Kansas City at
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: Buffalo highlights Week nine of the National Football League season.
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: That'll be the afternoon game on Sunday. Week number ten
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: of the college football season will not feature the Huskies
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: there on bye, but it will feature the Pac twelve
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: championship game. Washington State and Oregon State will play tomorrow
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: at four thirty Sounders in Minnesota. United won't play their
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: second match of the playoff series until Monday. The college
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: basketball season also starts on Monday. There will be one
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: hundred and sixty nine games played Monday in college basketball.
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: I think that's what I HI layd up this morning.
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: So lots of college basketball activity obviously on Monday, and
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: tonight is the first chance that a team could win
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: the World Series. The Toronto Blue Jays are up three
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: to two on the Los Angeles Dodgers, and so they
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: need one win out of two at home in Canada
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: to claim World Championship status. It'll be Yama Moto versus
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: Gosman tonight. That is your pitching matchup, and we'll have
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: some time to talk about that a little bit later
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: on in the show. Speaking of Major League Baseball, I
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: realized that this isn't a top of mind story. But
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: I am so curious. I don't have an answer to this.
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: I'm hoping that Bucky does. I don't know how to
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: explain what's happening in the MLB manager hiring cycle, and
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: so I want to talk about it.
• 21:57
  Speaker 6: Next.
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM drown to its feed.
• 22:03
  Speaker 11: You're off fourth from gold to two, say Flowers motion
• 22:05
  Speaker 11: snaw back to the right side the snap.
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: Lamar rolling out to his right, throws.
• 22:09
  Speaker 3: Talk back of the end zone, touchdown, Ravens more and
• 22:13
  Speaker 3: Andrews down to the ground to make the ground. Baltimore
• 22:17
  Speaker 3: caps off on the fumble recovery deep in Miami territory
• 22:21
  Speaker 3: and Lamar Jackson throws his first touchdown passage Week four,
• 22:26
  Speaker 3: back to throw, back pedaling, backpedaling towards.
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: The end zone.
• 22:29
  Speaker 3: Talk to five, Mark Andrews to the goal line, touchdown.
• 22:32
  Speaker 3: Ravens Baltimore's tight end with his second touchdown grab of
• 22:37
  Speaker 3: the first half, and it's thirteen to three Baltimore.
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: Fifty seconds into the second.
• 22:43
  Speaker 11: Quarter one on the play clock. This snap a play
• 22:46
  Speaker 11: faith back to throw in the pocket, dancing in the
• 22:49
  Speaker 11: pocket hard for the middle, touch down.
• 22:51
  Speaker 3: Baltimore Rashaan Bateman in the back of the end zone.
• 22:55
  Speaker 3: It's the fourth touchdown of the game for Lamar.
• 22:58
  Speaker 12: Jackson, and generally it's it's a bad omen to be
• 23:05
  Speaker 12: very capable of being in the lead and being behind.
• 23:14
  Speaker 8: What his press conference was something they're kind of all
• 23:18
  Speaker 8: like that.
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: No, I don't know. I don't know if he's doing
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: it intentionally he's a genius and he just throws people off,
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: or if he really.
• 23:25
  Speaker 8: Is just that loss I am thrown off the Yeah.
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: I don't know if he's just thrown off, doesn't know
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: what to say, and so it just comes out as
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: gobbledegook every single press conference that he has, especially those
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: after losses. And it was a loss last night for
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: the Miami Dolphins twenty eight to six to the Baltimore Ravens,
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: who look like they're getting right right before our eyes.
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: Not a fun day to have Derrick Henry in fantasy football.
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: I'll tell you that. Just get it inside the twenty
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: and then Lamar just throws touchdown pass. Four touchdown passes
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: for Lamar Jackson and a twenty eight to six win
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: over the Dolphins on Thursday Night Football. This Sunday, the
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: Kansas City Chiefs will be taking on the Buffalo Bills.
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: That's the big game this Sunday. But Sunday Night Seahawks
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: taking on the Washington Commanders. And we'll talk to Greg
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: Bell here in a matter of seconds. First though, let
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: me breeze through these frost brewed course light choose chill headlines.
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: It's also a week ten of the college football season,
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: my whereas the time Gone Huskies are on buy this week,
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: but the Koogs in action against conference rival Oregon State
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: kickoff at four point thirty. There Also, Sounders won't play
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: until Monday, Game two, or match two of their three
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: match series with Minnesota United, and Brian Schwetzer in company
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: have to win back to back matches in order to
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: advance in the tournament. College basketball season will start in
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: three days on that Monday as well. Nearly two hundred
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: college basketball games will be played on Monday, believe it
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: or not, and World Series Game number six is tonight.
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: This is the first chance either team has to close
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: out this series and become World champs, as the Blue
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: Jays are up three games to two, but they will
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: have to face the hottest pitcher in the entire postseason,
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: as Yamamoto is pitching for the Dodgers tonight. Those are
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: your frost brewed course light, Choose Chill headlines. Now let's
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: talk to Greg Bell. Good morning, Greg, Good morning. A
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: lot to talk about with this commander's game, But just
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: so we don't risk running out of tom, I want
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: to ask you about something that you closed our roundtable
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: discussion with yesterday and we just kind of threw it
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: out there and we didn't have time to discuss it
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: at all. So I want you to elaborate a little
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: bit on this boy A Mafe rumor as we sit
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: here just a few days short of the NFL trade deadline.
• 25:43
  Speaker 5: Well, I mean, I'm guilty of just supposition here, but
• 25:48
  Speaker 5: boy Mafe plays a position of premium value in the
• 25:50
  Speaker 5: NFL edge rusher, and he plays every down, and he
• 25:54
  Speaker 5: hasn't had the production of a guy that you'd want
• 25:57
  Speaker 5: to re sign beyond his rookie contract ending this year.
• 26:00
  Speaker 5: And those are ingredients of potential trade because other teams
• 26:05
  Speaker 5: know the value of his position, that he's under a
• 26:08
  Speaker 5: relatively inexpensive rookie deal. It would be something of a
• 26:12
  Speaker 5: rental now, but they could envision if they liked his
• 26:15
  Speaker 5: production for half a season to resign him. But at
• 26:18
  Speaker 5: the very least, you're augmenting a spot that in the
• 26:21
  Speaker 5: NFL is paramount. It's either throw the ball or pressure
• 26:25
  Speaker 5: the guy who throws the ball. That's basically the NFL today,
• 26:29
  Speaker 5: and Mafey has not been what they need him to be,
• 26:33
  Speaker 5: and Derek Hall being out has exacerbated that fact. Hal's injury,
• 26:39
  Speaker 5: he's been a limited participant in practice all week. But
• 26:42
  Speaker 5: they need those two guys, and despite the pressure that
• 26:45
  Speaker 5: the four down linemen have given the team, they mostly
• 26:50
  Speaker 5: affected quarterbacks without Derek Hall and boy Mafey involve too
• 26:54
  Speaker 5: much consistently in that. So it's more of a piecing
• 26:59
  Speaker 5: together the situation, the current circumstances around him, and the
• 27:04
  Speaker 5: fact that to me, unlike Wolan, who has been penalized
• 27:09
  Speaker 5: highly and been beaten for big plays and high profile moments,
• 27:14
  Speaker 5: is also at the end of his rookie deal, I
• 27:16
  Speaker 5: think mafe would have more of attraction over time. He
• 27:20
  Speaker 5: has been a guy who has affected quarterbacks in the
• 27:23
  Speaker 5: previous seasons more than he has there. So I'm not
• 27:27
  Speaker 5: saying it's going to happen. I don't know that it's
• 27:28
  Speaker 5: gonna that the Seahawks are going to make any trades
• 27:31
  Speaker 5: because for all the talk about trades before the trade deadline,
• 27:35
  Speaker 5: there were only eighteen of them in the thirty two
• 27:37
  Speaker 5: team league.
• 27:38
  Speaker 6: Last year.
• 27:39
  Speaker 5: The Seahawks, of course, or one of them, whether it's Jones,
• 27:41
  Speaker 5: had transformed their defense. But I'm not sure I see
• 27:44
  Speaker 5: a transformation type of move the Seahawks are going to
• 27:47
  Speaker 5: make between down and Tuesday.
• 27:49
  Speaker 7: If they were going to make something, where do you
• 27:52
  Speaker 7: think they should make or where should they upgrade the.
• 27:56
  Speaker 5: Interior line, offensive defensive lines, defensive tackle depth. They have
• 28:03
  Speaker 5: an issue at right guard. Anthony Bradford's still there, largely
• 28:06
  Speaker 5: I think because they don't feel they have anybody in
• 28:08
  Speaker 5: the house that can take his place. They had signed
• 28:11
  Speaker 5: Shane Lemieux with the practice squad. He'd been a starter
• 28:13
  Speaker 5: with Klink Kobe k system last year in New Orleans,
• 28:17
  Speaker 5: and now he's gone. He was on the practice squad
• 28:19
  Speaker 5: a couple of weeks and then they put him on
• 28:20
  Speaker 5: practice squad injured reserve, and I'm still never quite got
• 28:23
  Speaker 5: to the bottom of how he got hurt on the
• 28:25
  Speaker 5: practice squad. And Christian Haynes just returned this week from
• 28:30
  Speaker 5: the injured reserve list. To practice. He's had about four
• 28:34
  Speaker 5: different chances in a year and a half under three
• 28:36
  Speaker 5: four different coaches to win that job, and he hasn't
• 28:40
  Speaker 5: won it. So Anthony Bradford is almost the right guard
• 28:43
  Speaker 5: by default at this point, and he's given up a
• 28:47
  Speaker 5: lot in pass protection and he hasn't in the entire line,
• 28:51
  Speaker 5: hasn't performed run blocking like they'd hoped. So defensive tackle guard,
• 28:58
  Speaker 5: those are the areas that not just now, but longer term,
• 29:02
  Speaker 5: they need depth.
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: Greg Bell is with US our Shawks insider, joining us
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: here on Chucking Buck in the Morning. You can of
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: course follow him at gmail, Seattle on x or his
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: complete coverage of the Seahawks for you at Thenews Tribune
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: dot com. All right, so is there any hope that
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: Julian Love is playing on Sunday or has that been dashed?
• 29:21
  Speaker 5: I don't think so. When McDonald chuck puts out, well
• 29:25
  Speaker 5: we're considering injured reserve for him, that doesn't mean he's
• 29:28
  Speaker 5: going to play in four days. I mean he's the opposite.
• 29:31
  Speaker 5: And he has been not a practice. He was out
• 29:34
  Speaker 5: on the practice field yesterday but did not participate in practice.
• 29:37
  Speaker 5: I saw him coming in from the field, but there's
• 29:40
  Speaker 5: nothing to suggest he's going to play. I'm expecting to
• 29:43
  Speaker 5: listed us out today. Derek Hall has been a limited
• 29:46
  Speaker 5: participant coming off his hip injury from a couple of
• 29:49
  Speaker 5: games ago, and that's better than nothing. Of course, I
• 29:53
  Speaker 5: think he's going to be questionable. Devin Witherspin's been full
• 29:57
  Speaker 5: go all week. He looks like he's going to play
• 29:59
  Speaker 5: for first time since Week four at Arizona, and we've
• 30:02
  Speaker 5: talked about how that may have it moving the chairs
• 30:05
  Speaker 5: around effect and including potentially week Woolen depending on whether
• 30:10
  Speaker 5: they want to put Whittishman inside or outside. Can't see
• 30:13
  Speaker 5: him moving Nick emn worry out of the at Nickel.
• 30:16
  Speaker 5: He's just been too good and too impacting there to
• 30:18
  Speaker 5: change the rookie for what he's been doing the last
• 30:21
  Speaker 5: few weeks that Whtishpoon has been out. So they're getting
• 30:25
  Speaker 5: better and healthier, but they still won't be whole in
• 30:27
  Speaker 5: the secondary because Love is out. It bears repeating this
• 30:31
  Speaker 5: team has not had its starting secondary together since the
• 30:34
  Speaker 5: fifth play of the season. Yeah, yet there five and
• 30:37
  Speaker 5: two and being led by their defense often.
• 30:39
  Speaker 7: Gee, I mean Chuck and I I think are a
• 30:41
  Speaker 7: little bit different and far as far as how confident
• 30:45
  Speaker 7: going into this game. I do think the Seahawks are better.
• 30:47
  Speaker 7: I think they're playing better football. I think they're healthier.
• 30:50
  Speaker 7: They're not worried about their quarterbacks health going into the game.
• 30:54
  Speaker 7: And yet there's a part of me that just kind
• 30:56
  Speaker 7: of feels like, boy, you still better go out there
• 30:58
  Speaker 7: and play a really good game, because I think that
• 31:01
  Speaker 7: the ceiling of the Commanders could still be pretty high
• 31:04
  Speaker 7: if Jaden Daniels goes out there and balls the way
• 31:06
  Speaker 7: he should. So confidence level going into this, I mean,
• 31:10
  Speaker 7: everything looks like you should win this ball game, but
• 31:12
  Speaker 7: how confident are you that they will?
• 31:16
  Speaker 5: Not a lot? This is still a Commander's team that
• 31:19
  Speaker 5: went to the NFC title game last year. They are
• 31:23
  Speaker 5: shell of themselves. To help wise, I mentioned they missing
• 31:26
  Speaker 5: both their defense, starting defensive end, they're starting safety. They've
• 31:28
  Speaker 5: had issues on the offensive line, and other quarterbacks been hurt.
• 31:31
  Speaker 5: Although Jalen Daniels has practiced fully all week coming off
• 31:34
  Speaker 5: the hamstring injury that causing missed the mind of night game.
• 31:38
  Speaker 5: Maybe the most dangerous thing about this game for the
• 31:40
  Speaker 5: Seahawks and having from the Commanders is the Commanders are desperate.
• 31:44
  Speaker 5: They've lost three in a row. They're three and five,
• 31:47
  Speaker 5: they're talking in Washington about trading some of their older
• 31:50
  Speaker 5: players to get draft picks and build for the future.
• 31:54
  Speaker 5: Is there's something of a rounding up of the cattle
• 31:58
  Speaker 5: for a last charge mentality going on Washington right now,
• 32:03
  Speaker 5: and there are a lot of older players in that
• 32:04
  Speaker 5: team that maybe at the end of their tenures in Washington,
• 32:08
  Speaker 5: that they're at the tipping point of a season of
• 32:10
  Speaker 5: whether this still matters to them or not. And if
• 32:12
  Speaker 5: they lose this game to go to three and six,
• 32:14
  Speaker 5: all of a sudden, they may be looking forward to
• 32:18
  Speaker 5: the end of their tenures in a long season, and
• 32:22
  Speaker 5: they could get traded before Tuesday. So this is a
• 32:25
  Speaker 5: pivotal game for them. Obviously, they could go either four
• 32:27
  Speaker 5: and five and still be there or three and six
• 32:30
  Speaker 5: on a four game losing streak. So you're going to
• 32:32
  Speaker 5: see a very desperate team playing on its home field
• 32:34
  Speaker 5: in the primetime game with their quarterback returning from injury.
• 32:38
  Speaker 5: All of that suggests a pretty strong challenge to winning
• 32:43
  Speaker 5: that game if you're the road team. And again, the
• 32:46
  Speaker 5: Seahawks are not a dominant dynamo that just runs over teams.
• 32:50
  Speaker 5: We've seen that time and again, even the Jacksonville game
• 32:54
  Speaker 5: that they completely controlled and we're winning twenty to six.
• 32:57
  Speaker 5: Suddenly look up in the fourth quarter it's twenty to twelve.
• 33:00
  Speaker 5: Exmwell has the ball at midfield trying to drive for
• 33:02
  Speaker 5: the tying score. And I remember sitting in that press
• 33:04
  Speaker 5: box in jackson a couple weeks ago, and how is
• 33:07
  Speaker 5: this game close? The Jaguars haven't even close to competing
• 33:12
  Speaker 5: for most of the day, and yet it was a
• 33:14
  Speaker 5: one score game. That's where the Seahawks are right now.
• 33:18
  Speaker 5: They make enough mistakes, they turned the ball over. I
• 33:20
  Speaker 5: mentioned their minus four turnover margin. They had four turnovers
• 33:23
  Speaker 5: against Houston, another game they dominated, and you looked up
• 33:26
  Speaker 5: in the fourth quarter and said, how is this a
• 33:28
  Speaker 5: one score game? You started doing that against Washington on
• 33:32
  Speaker 5: Sunday night and Jaden Daniels is liable to make a play,
• 33:35
  Speaker 5: and all of a sudden you're losing. So that's where
• 33:37
  Speaker 5: they are right now.
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: To me, Greg bellis with us, our Seahawks insider. Well,
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: if they're rounding up their cattle, I know a great
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: place all the commanders cowboys should look in the training room.
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: That's where most of the prize cows are right now.
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: For this roster Terry mclaurin's not going to play. How
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: does that change things for Mike McDonald.
• 34:00
  Speaker 5: Well, honestly, McDonald focuses on the stopping the run first,
• 34:04
  Speaker 5: making the one dimensional, trying to get your pass rush
• 34:06
  Speaker 5: to affect the quarterback on long third downs, and McLaren
• 34:09
  Speaker 5: has nothing to do with all that. They're gonna use
• 34:11
  Speaker 5: Deebo Samuel as something of a runner. The Seahawks have
• 34:14
  Speaker 5: seen that more than anybody in the league. The forty
• 34:16
  Speaker 5: nine ers using Samuel that way. But they don't have
• 34:19
  Speaker 5: too many backs. They traded Brian Robinson, Austin Eckler's on
• 34:23
  Speaker 5: injured reserve out for the year. They just got some
• 34:26
  Speaker 5: dudes back there. They got hyphenated dames and a bunch
• 34:29
  Speaker 5: of other guys I never heard of. That's they're running back,
• 34:31
  Speaker 5: which is why Jayden Daniels off in the runs when
• 34:34
  Speaker 5: he's healthy, and why they're going to use Deebo Samuel
• 34:37
  Speaker 5: some more so, to me, Samuel is a bigger concern
• 34:40
  Speaker 5: even if McLaren was in there, because of his multi
• 34:43
  Speaker 5: dimensional use and what he's done to the Seahawks in
• 34:45
  Speaker 5: the past. I think that McDonald's game plan would be
• 34:49
  Speaker 5: too focus primarily on everything that Deebo Samuel could possibly
• 34:53
  Speaker 5: do to them, not to mention Jayden Daniels. Yes, he's
• 34:56
  Speaker 5: coming off the hamstring injury. Say he may not run
• 34:58
  Speaker 5: as much or tested as much, but he's playing, then
• 35:01
  Speaker 5: he's going to play. It's not like you can tell
• 35:03
  Speaker 5: a twenty two to twenty three year old quarterback just
• 35:05
  Speaker 5: don't run if they're pressuring you because you've been hurt recently.
• 35:08
  Speaker 5: He's going to take off running and he's going to
• 35:10
  Speaker 5: be a threat outside the pocket.
• 35:13
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean, my key, I've been thinking, you just
• 35:16
  Speaker 7: got to kind of make sure you control the run game.
• 35:18
  Speaker 7: And that's Jayden Daniels and Deebo Samuel and there's the
• 35:22
  Speaker 7: crosskey Merrit kid. I mean, they statistically have been the
• 35:26
  Speaker 7: most doubt as far as rushing yards allowed.
• 35:29
  Speaker 6: Up to this point, number one in the league.
• 35:31
  Speaker 7: And so does it just keep doing what you've been doing,
• 35:34
  Speaker 7: because I mean, outside of Kyler Murray, I suppose maybe
• 35:38
  Speaker 7: even I guess yeah he said, Kyler Murray think would
• 35:42
  Speaker 7: probably be the only one that I can think of
• 35:43
  Speaker 7: a running quarterback. They haven't had this kind of dual threat.
• 35:46
  Speaker 7: Now this is almost maybe even a triple threat. Of
• 35:48
  Speaker 7: guys that can run the ball for them.
• 35:51
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I would submit to Baker Mayfield as well, not
• 35:54
  Speaker 5: a running quarterback, as a quarterback back can run and
• 35:57
  Speaker 5: extend plays and take off up the field. And he
• 35:59
  Speaker 5: killed them, I mean absolutely killed them. They've had trouble
• 36:03
  Speaker 5: containing the edge. They've had trouble tackling included quarterbacks in
• 36:08
  Speaker 5: the open field, and that will be that Jayden Daniels,
• 36:13
  Speaker 5: even with coming off a hamstring injury, will will expose
• 36:16
  Speaker 5: if you have problems in those regards on Sunday night.
• 36:20
  Speaker 5: I I'm just when they are statistically number one in
• 36:24
  Speaker 5: the league against the run, but when you sit and
• 36:27
  Speaker 5: watch a game, teams just don't run a lot against them.
• 36:30
  Speaker 5: They haven't had an early down success. They've had a
• 36:32
  Speaker 5: lot of long third downs that have caused them to
• 36:34
  Speaker 5: throw even long second downs that have put in passing situations,
• 36:37
  Speaker 5: and that has fed into this pressure rate. The Seahawks
• 36:40
  Speaker 5: have be able to generate in long yardage. The teams
• 36:44
  Speaker 5: just haven't done it a lot to test them. Then
• 36:47
  Speaker 5: Washington the other night, they had a very sharp opening
• 36:51
  Speaker 5: drive with run and pass and then they end up
• 36:53
  Speaker 5: with just sixty yards for the whole game. For rushing.
• 36:55
  Speaker 5: They only had five rushing attempts after halftime and a
• 36:59
  Speaker 5: score that was it was tied and then a one
• 37:01
  Speaker 5: score fourteen to seven game until late in the third quarter,
• 37:04
  Speaker 5: and they didn't even try to run. And part of
• 37:07
  Speaker 5: what Seattle's run defense success has been is teams don't
• 37:10
  Speaker 5: run against them because they've been in long yardis off
• 37:13
  Speaker 5: of early down failures. That's the rest of the McDonald's
• 37:16
  Speaker 5: keep trying to replicate every year, every week. I mean,
• 37:19
  Speaker 5: the defensive game plan is boiled down most simply is
• 37:23
  Speaker 5: stop them on early downs, so it's second and third
• 37:25
  Speaker 5: and long so you can then dictate. You can pressure,
• 37:29
  Speaker 5: you can blitz, you can disguise and change coverages, you
• 37:32
  Speaker 5: can do a lot of things. The other thing that's
• 37:34
  Speaker 5: going to change for Seattle with Nick even Worry and
• 37:37
  Speaker 5: Devin Witherspoon on the field Sunday night for the first
• 37:40
  Speaker 5: time since the first five plays of the year, is
• 37:43
  Speaker 5: McDonald's gonna blitz more. We mentioned that he's got a
• 37:46
  Speaker 5: really low blitz rate compared to what he expected to.
• 37:48
  Speaker 5: He said, he's not at all played like he thought
• 37:50
  Speaker 5: he was going to be playing this year. But now
• 37:53
  Speaker 5: with even Worry and Witherspoon back. They're going to blitz
• 37:55
  Speaker 5: more out of the back end and that's going to
• 37:57
  Speaker 5: change the pressure in how Seattle gets to the quarterback. Now,
• 38:01
  Speaker 5: of course, the dangers you're blitzing Jadan Daniels. You've got
• 38:04
  Speaker 5: to be pretty quick and pretty latterly able to run
• 38:07
  Speaker 5: laterly to catch him going outside. But I'm expecting to
• 38:11
  Speaker 5: see more pressure than four on Sunday night that we've
• 38:15
  Speaker 5: been seeing in a while.
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: Awesome stuff. Thank you, Greg, We appreciate it. Have a
• 38:18
  Speaker 2: great weekend and we'll talk to you Monday morning.
• 38:22

• 39:09
  Speaker 2: gonna play some Factor fiction at seven thirty five. Also
• 39:14
  Speaker 2: another example of how maybe the Seahawks have been masquerading
• 39:18
  Speaker 2: here on Halloween Sports Radio ninety three point three kJ RFM.
• 39:22
  Speaker 9: I like that.
• 39:22
  Speaker 8: You think that's weird though.
• 39:24
  Speaker 2: Ah, that's odd. Yeah, she's that popular.
• 39:27
  Speaker 8: Yeah, and she's actually good.
• 39:29
  Speaker 2: She's actually good at it. Yeah, it's weird.
• 39:31
  Speaker 8: She got a record contract.
• 39:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think there are some that are very popular
• 39:34
  Speaker 2: that aren't they Oh, yeah for sure. But yeah, yeah,
• 39:37
  Speaker 2: she's pretty good.
• 39:38
  Speaker 8: But I don't think you stick around as long as
• 39:39
  Speaker 8: Rihanna if you're not good.
• 39:41
  Speaker 2: Pretty good at her craft.
• 39:42
  Speaker 8: Yeah, she should stick with this career.
• 39:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think you should stick with it and not
• 39:46
  Speaker 2: be risked to jump over to sports talk radio.
• 39:49
  Speaker 8: It's working for you rereach.
• 39:50
  Speaker 2: Which is probably her dream job. Probably most Yes, she
• 39:54
  Speaker 2: could be wearing a onesie right now with us. Probably
• 39:57
  Speaker 2: is still wearing a onesie wanting you might s her
• 40:00
  Speaker 2: onesies are sexy.
• 40:04
  Speaker 6: You'll make it sexy for you.
• 40:07
  Speaker 2: See, I have seen a lot of Bucky's upper torso today,
• 40:12
  Speaker 2: a lot of it, A lot more than I bargained
• 40:14
  Speaker 2: for it.
• 40:14
  Speaker 4: When I brought in the show sheets earlier, I almost
• 40:16
  Speaker 4: felt like I needed to look away, Like I felt
• 40:18
  Speaker 4: like I was like staring at too much cleavage.
• 40:20
  Speaker 6: Yeah, seemed like a guy at a swimming pool.
• 40:25
  Speaker 4: But it's not usually unzipped to just show like the
• 40:29
  Speaker 4: deep v it feels like you're feels.
• 40:31
  Speaker 6: Like, so I take it. The entire top part of.
• 40:33
  Speaker 2: It feels uncomfortable, all right, this one had this onesie
• 40:39
  Speaker 2: idea and I wouldn't this. I didn't factor in because
• 40:41
  Speaker 2: he's doing it again.
• 40:43
  Speaker 8: Yeah, he is just taking it off.
• 40:45
  Speaker 2: It's jugging Box Sports Radio ninety three point three kh
• 40:48
  Speaker 2: A r f M. We got the Oho coming your
• 40:50
  Speaker 2: way here at the top of the hour eight top
• 40:52
  Speaker 2: stories of the day. We'll get you ready for the weekend.
• 40:54
  Speaker 2: Wrap up the week with the Friday OCHO plus Hughes
• 40:57
  Speaker 2: coming Coach is coming. We got a lot to do
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: on this program. I mentioned at the beginning of the
• 41:03
  Speaker 2: show that the Seahawks a little bit of a masquerade.
• 41:06
  Speaker 2: I don't think that the offensive line was some villain,
• 41:09
  Speaker 2: some monster, and then all of a sudden, grays Abel
• 41:12
  Speaker 2: came in and oh, we've just took off our mask.
• 41:16
  Speaker 2: We're actually really good. I think maybe there was more
• 41:20
  Speaker 2: that went into it. I think it was a little deceiving.
• 41:22
  Speaker 2: I think that there was a lot more that had
• 41:24
  Speaker 2: to do with quarterbacks not getting rid of the football
• 41:27
  Speaker 2: than it did that our offensive line was just the
• 41:30
  Speaker 2: worst thing ever. And then this year it's fixed because
• 41:33
  Speaker 2: of Grey's Abel. Another thing that may have been masking
• 41:37
  Speaker 2: arraiding around since the beginning of the year. And I
• 41:41
  Speaker 2: want to compare Dk Metcalf with Terry McLaurin, who are
• 41:44
  Speaker 2: getting ready to face. And I think Terry mclaurin's a
• 41:47
  Speaker 2: terrific wide receiver. But is he like upper echelon? Is
• 41:51
  Speaker 2: he on that top tier? Is he Jamar Chase? Is
• 41:53
  Speaker 2: he justin Jefferson? I think we all agreed no, right,
• 41:58
  Speaker 2: he not on the top tier? And yet he got
• 42:02
  Speaker 2: thirty two million dollars a year this year to disrupt
• 42:07
  Speaker 2: camp and then get hurt, and he hasn't really contributed.
• 42:11
  Speaker 2: And even when he does contribute, I mean they were
• 42:14
  Speaker 2: looking to Deebo Samuel more than McLaurin in games that
• 42:17
  Speaker 2: even McLaren was playing, and you paid thirty two million
• 42:20
  Speaker 2: dollars a year for this guy. I think it's time
• 42:24
  Speaker 2: maybe to give credit to John Schneider for a very
• 42:29
  Speaker 2: difficult DK Metcalf situation and decision that he had made
• 42:33
  Speaker 2: from earlier this year, because we were in the similar
• 42:37
  Speaker 2: vote and decided not to give the second tier wide
• 42:41
  Speaker 2: receiver the first tier money for wide receiver to put
• 42:45
  Speaker 2: faith that Jackson Smith and Jigba is our future wide
• 42:49
  Speaker 2: receiver one. And even though it would be nice, it
• 42:53
  Speaker 2: would be luxurious to be able to have both of
• 42:55
  Speaker 2: these guys on the field at the exact same time.
• 42:58
  Speaker 2: Can we spend that thirty million dollars more effectively in
• 43:02
  Speaker 2: the off season getting a DeMarcus Lawrence, I mean, Cooper
• 43:07
  Speaker 2: Cup obviously is part of that equation without DK Metcalf,
• 43:11
  Speaker 2: But by going with Cupp and then you give yourself
• 43:14
  Speaker 2: the chance to add other pieces to this team. Plus
• 43:17
  Speaker 2: you're not hamstrung going forward as the decline starts in
• 43:21
  Speaker 2: Terry mclaurin's game now that he's over thirty, and the
• 43:24
  Speaker 2: decline starts potentially in DK's game even though he still
• 43:28
  Speaker 2: looks just as you know athletic as ever. So I
• 43:33
  Speaker 2: think there's time. It's time to, like halfway through this season,
• 43:37
  Speaker 2: to give credit because that was not an easy decision.
• 43:39
  Speaker 2: It's one that we bantered about for a long, long
• 43:42
  Speaker 2: period of time, and I think John Schneider nailed it
• 43:45
  Speaker 2: by saying I like to have him, but it just
• 43:49
  Speaker 2: makes more sense to move off of DK metcalf right
• 43:53
  Speaker 2: now get a little bit of return in a trade
• 43:56
  Speaker 2: while we can and turn our future wide receiver one
• 44:00
  Speaker 2: position over to number eleven.
• 44:03
  Speaker 7: Well, instead of putting a bunch of eggs into that
• 44:05
  Speaker 7: one basket. As good as that basket looks, it hadn't
• 44:09
  Speaker 7: it hadn't performed that way. Now, there's a part of
• 44:11
  Speaker 7: me that it would is curious, right if you could
• 44:14
  Speaker 7: have a pill and go back now and see what
• 44:18
  Speaker 7: DK looks like with Sam Darnold versus Geno Smith. There's
• 44:22
  Speaker 7: a part of me it's like, maybe he wouldn't be
• 44:24
  Speaker 7: second tier, Maybe he actually would be worthy of the
• 44:27
  Speaker 7: money that he's getting paid. Now that said, I do
• 44:31
  Speaker 7: think that that you have to make difficult decisions. I
• 44:33
  Speaker 7: think that's one of the things that does get overlooked
• 44:36
  Speaker 7: for GMS. Across the board is sometimes you have to
• 44:39
  Speaker 7: say goodbye to something that you really really like because
• 44:42
  Speaker 7: you can get three things that you like and three
• 44:45
  Speaker 7: you know, the sum of the parts might meet me
• 44:48
  Speaker 7: equal more than just the amount of what you thought
• 44:51
  Speaker 7: you could get. Or you would hope that you get
• 44:54
  Speaker 7: out of a big, high price player like what DK
• 44:58
  Speaker 7: was expecting.
• 44:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you extended Ernest Jones and gave him a pay raise.
• 45:01
  Speaker 2: I mean, think about that. I mean, I don't think
• 45:04
  Speaker 2: DeMarcus Lawrence is dominated or anything. And Cooper Cup obviously
• 45:09
  Speaker 2: has been very used, very little. And yeah, we could
• 45:11
  Speaker 2: entertain the prospect of having DK and JSN together with
• 45:15
  Speaker 2: Sam Darnold throwing them footballs. Absolutely, But I think that
• 45:20
  Speaker 2: Washington might have made a mistake. Maybe they should have
• 45:23
  Speaker 2: traded Terry McLaurin rather than sign him to a long
• 45:26
  Speaker 2: term extension. Everybody in the league now talking about how
• 45:29
  Speaker 2: the Commanders, we didn't really notice how old they were
• 45:33
  Speaker 2: when they were making their push to the NFC title game,
• 45:37
  Speaker 2: and that could have been an opportunity for them to
• 45:40
  Speaker 2: get a couple younger pieces for an older receiver and
• 45:45
  Speaker 2: max out his value without having to pay him thirty
• 45:48
  Speaker 2: two million dollars a year, which he might not be worth.
• 45:51
  Speaker 4: Right, Yeah, Yeah, I think I definitely think that it's
• 45:54
  Speaker 4: time to give Schneider the full credit for that move.
• 45:56
  Speaker 8: I think it was the right move.
• 45:57
  Speaker 4: I know, obviously a difficult move to do in the
• 46:00
  Speaker 4: way that he was questioned, not just locally but nashally,
• 46:02
  Speaker 4: like what is he doing?
• 46:04
  Speaker 8: This is I mean especially nationally.
• 46:05
  Speaker 4: Actually they thought the Seahawks were going to be terrible
• 46:08
  Speaker 4: because you got rid of Geno Smith and DK Metcalf
• 46:10
  Speaker 4: And I used this word earlier, but I'll use it again.
• 46:14
  Speaker 4: I just think it was a solid plan. Like what
• 46:19
  Speaker 4: has transpired now you've got You've got more of a
• 46:23
  Speaker 4: well rounded opportunity.
• 46:25
  Speaker 2: We are a better football Teayes this year than we
• 46:28
  Speaker 2: were here yes at this time. So anyway, just a thought.
• 46:32
  Speaker 2: Both of those things crossed my mind as I was
• 46:34
  Speaker 2: driving into work this morning. I do want to mention
• 46:37
  Speaker 2: one last thing before we go to the top.
• 46:39
  Speaker 6: Of the break.
• 46:40
  Speaker 2: Right now, and I don't even know why it's on,
• 46:42
  Speaker 2: but Steven A. Smith's talk show is on our television
• 46:45
  Speaker 2: right now, and Ryan Clark today because it's Halloween dressed
• 46:49
  Speaker 2: up as the Mad Hatter. Oh and it's a great costume.
• 46:52
  Speaker 2: He's got the crush velvet purple you know jacket and
• 46:56
  Speaker 2: the big orange top hat. And so we dressed up
• 46:59
  Speaker 2: for Halloween. And what's funny about it is Cam Newton
• 47:02
  Speaker 2: did not dress up for Halloween. And they look exactly.
• 47:05
  Speaker 8: The sound is amazing.
• 47:07
  Speaker 7: He's mad Hattering, the Mad Hatter though, Oh man, do
• 47:12
  Speaker 7: you think that's a costume.
• 47:13
  Speaker 6: This is my everyday attire.
• 47:15
  Speaker 8: I don't know if he's dressed my life.
• 47:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe he's dressed as Cam. I don't know. I
• 47:18
  Speaker 2: thought it was the Mad Hatter.
• 47:19
  Speaker 8: But that's actually funny. Maybe it is Kim.
• 47:22
  Speaker 2: All right, Friday OHO's next.
• 47:25
  Speaker 1: It's time for the show, the best twelve minutes of
• 47:30
  Speaker 1: eight minutes of radio, brought to you by the rich
• 47:33
  Speaker 1: complex flavor of Pendleton Whiskey Weather.
• 47:36
  Speaker 2: But please drink responsibly. And it's a Football Friday sponsored
• 47:46
  Speaker 2: by Tito's Handmade Vodka. It is also Halloween. Happy Halloween everyone,
• 47:53
  Speaker 2: It's time for the Friday O Show. And yes, I
• 47:56
  Speaker 2: know there are huge sports stories that we have to
• 47:58
  Speaker 2: get to, but I'll go to hallowe we not be
• 48:00
  Speaker 2: the top story. But happy Halloween everyone, Ashley, Bucky and
• 48:08
  Speaker 2: I we decided to dress down for Halloween this year. Yes,
• 48:13
  Speaker 2: I just maybe we're uncovering some new way to do Halloween.
• 48:17
  Speaker 2: Like the kids, you get their costumes ready, and then
• 48:20
  Speaker 2: the adult, the parent is just like, now I've got
• 48:23
  Speaker 2: to come up with a costume for a lot of work.
• 48:25
  Speaker 2: That has a lot of work to put on my plate.
• 48:27
  Speaker 2: And so maybe maybe we'll start a trend. We showed
• 48:31
  Speaker 2: up today in our onesies, so we're basically wearing pajamas today. Uh,
• 48:36
  Speaker 2: and so maybe this is the new way to do Halloween.
• 48:40
  Speaker 2: Halloween is now dress you dress up the kids and
• 48:43
  Speaker 2: dressed down yourself.
• 48:45
  Speaker 6: About this plan, I'm down with it. Yeah, I mean
• 48:49
  Speaker 6: I don't really have the urge.
• 48:51
  Speaker 7: I never really, as an adult, really got into dressing
• 48:55
  Speaker 7: up a whole heck of a lot. My thing is
• 48:56
  Speaker 7: if I had a good one. One time I went
• 48:58
  Speaker 7: as a ping pong champion. It was he I made
• 49:00
  Speaker 7: a shirt that said ping Bung Champ and I had
• 49:02
  Speaker 7: a big like afro red wig and a head band
• 49:07
  Speaker 7: and super short shorts and tube socks.
• 49:09
  Speaker 8: I find things where you wear a lot of short shorts.
• 49:12
  Speaker 6: I do.
• 49:13
  Speaker 7: I dovation, Yeah, and so like that one.
• 49:18
  Speaker 6: If you don't have to explain the costume. I like it.
• 49:21
  Speaker 6: If I have to explain it, I feel like it's
• 49:22
  Speaker 6: not a good costume.
• 49:23
  Speaker 2: I think that's fair. That's good.
• 49:25
  Speaker 4: Mine and five Irons best costume. We're not big costume people,
• 49:28
  Speaker 4: but if.
• 49:29
  Speaker 8: We do it, we do it big. And he was
• 49:31
  Speaker 8: Bob Ross one year, you know, the painter, and I
• 49:34
  Speaker 8: was the painting.
• 49:35
  Speaker 2: Oh.
• 49:36
  Speaker 8: So I'd done one of.
• 49:36
  Speaker 4: Those like paste, paint and sip things, you know, and
• 49:40
  Speaker 4: I had so I had all these canvases with paintings
• 49:42
  Speaker 4: on it. So I cut a hole in the center
• 49:44
  Speaker 4: of the painting and then fit my and the strap,
• 49:47
  Speaker 4: put a strap to the back so that my head
• 49:49
  Speaker 4: went through the hole, and then I painted my face.
• 49:51
  Speaker 8: To look like the painting. So I just walked around
• 49:55
  Speaker 8: with a painting.
• 49:55
  Speaker 5: Man.
• 49:55
  Speaker 2: That's fantastic. It was a pretty good one. That's advanced.
• 49:58
  Speaker 8: I was pretty proud of that one.
• 49:59
  Speaker 2: That's good. Yeah, that's damn good. It would have been
• 50:02
  Speaker 2: good just at Bob Ross alone. Yeah, seeing five iron
• 50:04
  Speaker 2: is Bob Ross for goodness. Yeah. Then for you to
• 50:07
  Speaker 2: take it to that extreme, wow, I am impressed.
• 50:10
  Speaker 8: It was good.
• 50:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, good job. Well, happy Halloween everybody. I guess we're
• 50:13
  Speaker 2: gonna get hit by an atmospheric river. So address your
• 50:16
  Speaker 2: kids accordingly tonight when they go trick or treating. Let's
• 50:20
  Speaker 2: get to the sports story. Seahawks are back in action finally.
• 50:23
  Speaker 2: It's felt like seven and a half years since they
• 50:25
  Speaker 2: last played a football game. It's been two weeks. They're
• 50:29
  Speaker 2: coming off a bye and they're getting ready to take
• 50:31
  Speaker 2: on the Washington Commanders on Sunday Night Football, and Greg
• 50:36
  Speaker 2: Bell told us our Seahawks Insider about an hour ago
• 50:39
  Speaker 2: that Mike McDonald might have a few blitzy surprises for
• 50:42
  Speaker 2: the Commanders.
• 50:43
  Speaker 5: The other thing that's going to change for Seattle with
• 50:46
  Speaker 5: Nicki Man Worry and Devin Witherspoon on the field Sunday
• 50:48
  Speaker 5: night for the first time since the first five plays
• 50:51
  Speaker 5: of the year, is McDonald's going to blitzmore. We mentioned
• 50:54
  Speaker 5: that he's got a really low blitz rate compared to
• 50:57
  Speaker 5: what he expected to. He said, he's not at all
• 50:59
  Speaker 5: played like he was going to be playing this year.
• 51:02
  Speaker 5: But now with even Worry and Witherspoon back, they're going
• 51:04
  Speaker 5: to blitz more out of the back end, and that's
• 51:06
  Speaker 5: going to change the pressure in how Seattle gets to
• 51:10
  Speaker 5: the quarterback. Now, of course, the dangers you're blitzing Jaydan Daniels.
• 51:13
  Speaker 6: You've got to be.
• 51:13
  Speaker 5: Pretty quick and pretty latterly able to run laterly to
• 51:18
  Speaker 5: catch him going outside. But I'm expecting to see more
• 51:21
  Speaker 5: pressure than four on Sunday night that we've been seeing
• 51:25
  Speaker 5: in a while.
• 51:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe Mike McDonald's I finally I get to unveil
• 51:28
  Speaker 2: my true defense this week, which is a scary notion
• 51:32
  Speaker 2: for not just the Commanders, but for the rest of
• 51:35
  Speaker 2: the teams on our schedule. Seahawks won't have Julian Love
• 51:38
  Speaker 2: after all. The Commanders are going to be without wide
• 51:41
  Speaker 2: receiver one Terry McLaurin. Jaydon Daniels is very likely to start.
• 51:46
  Speaker 2: He was a full participant at practice on Wednesday, So
• 51:49
  Speaker 2: it looks like we have we'll have to face of
• 51:51
  Speaker 2: their very talented second year quarterback in this game. Seahawks
• 51:55
  Speaker 2: are three and a half point favorite on the road.
• 51:58
  Speaker 2: But I just think, I mean, I get it. The
• 52:02
  Speaker 2: Commanders aren't a bad football team, and I get that
• 52:06
  Speaker 2: they're going to be a bit desperate. Maybe their season
• 52:08
  Speaker 2: is on the line, Maybe their chances to make the
• 52:10
  Speaker 2: playoffs is going to be on the line, and in
• 52:13
  Speaker 2: front of the entire nation watching at home and their
• 52:16
  Speaker 2: own fans there inside the stadium that they will be
• 52:20
  Speaker 2: motivated by that. But man, everything else goes the Seahawks way.
• 52:23
  Speaker 2: The healthier quarterback, the overall healthier team, the more rest
• 52:28
  Speaker 2: that they've been given, they're playing better football right now.
• 52:32
  Speaker 2: You know, they're coming off a buye where the Commanders
• 52:35
  Speaker 2: are coming off a short week. I think we're winning
• 52:38
  Speaker 2: this one easily. I think this is thirty four to twenty.
• 52:41
  Speaker 2: I really do.
• 52:42
  Speaker 7: I mean it feels like we have the more consistent
• 52:46
  Speaker 7: team for sure. I mean, I just don't see anything yet.
• 52:49
  Speaker 7: We talk about Jedfish and the Huskies and like kind
• 52:51
  Speaker 7: of still looking for that signature win. I don't really
• 52:54
  Speaker 7: feel like there's a signature win on the Seahawks schedule
• 52:57
  Speaker 7: so far. I mean, you can't ask for a whole
• 52:59
  Speaker 7: lot better. Better than five and two. Six and one
• 53:01
  Speaker 7: obviously would be better if you maybe didn't drop that
• 53:04
  Speaker 7: first game against the Niners, but the Niners or the Bucks,
• 53:07
  Speaker 7: if they had won that, You're like, I would have
• 53:09
  Speaker 7: felt a little bit different about this.
• 53:10
  Speaker 6: See.
• 53:11
  Speaker 7: I think the defense is legit, especially considering they haven't
• 53:13
  Speaker 7: been healthy, and I think the offense is consistent just
• 53:17
  Speaker 7: you know, they don't go out there and turn the
• 53:18
  Speaker 7: ball over a ton, and yet to me it would.
• 53:21
  Speaker 7: It kind of feels like I still there's still a
• 53:24
  Speaker 7: question mark around them, And yet there's plenty of question
• 53:26
  Speaker 7: marks around the Commanders. I just think that if they
• 53:29
  Speaker 7: go out, if you don't go out and play a
• 53:31
  Speaker 7: really sound football game, and they could show up and
• 53:33
  Speaker 7: play as talented as they are, especially with their quarterback
• 53:36
  Speaker 7: back and then being backed into a quarner a little bit,
• 53:39
  Speaker 7: I think they could be dangerous.
• 53:40
  Speaker 4: I would say if anything's close to a signature win,
• 53:42
  Speaker 4: it would be that win on the road against the Steelers,
• 53:44
  Speaker 4: because I just think that was unexpected going into the season.
• 53:47
  Speaker 4: I would have thought they'd win at home against the
• 53:48
  Speaker 4: forty nine Ers and lose the Steelers, And the fact
• 53:51
  Speaker 4: that that was flip flopped through me for a bit
• 53:53
  Speaker 4: of a loop.
• 53:53
  Speaker 8: But I'd say that was a pretty good win.
• 53:55
  Speaker 2: I think they'd passed a lot of tests. I mean,
• 53:57
  Speaker 2: Houston's better than their record, and they handled them pretty easily.
• 54:01
  Speaker 2: Jacksonville's better than what we expected, and they won by
• 54:04
  Speaker 2: eight points on the road. The Steelers won by fourteen,
• 54:12
  Speaker 2: for goodness sake, against it even The most recent loss
• 54:15
  Speaker 2: was one hell of a battle. For some reason, our
• 54:18
  Speaker 2: defense didn't show up, But we could have very easily
• 54:20
  Speaker 2: beaten the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and what a plumb when
• 54:23
  Speaker 2: that could have been. So I just think we're just
• 54:26
  Speaker 2: to look like a better team than the Commanders so
• 54:28
  Speaker 2: far this season. And then when you think about all
• 54:31
  Speaker 2: the other intangible factors, how on earth is Washington going
• 54:34
  Speaker 2: to be more prepared to play Sunday night than what
• 54:38
  Speaker 2: we are. It just feels like there's just way too
• 54:40
  Speaker 2: many things working in our favor and working against the
• 54:43
  Speaker 2: Washington Commanders come Sunday Night. But we'll see. Of course
• 54:46
  Speaker 2: they've got a chance. Of course they can come out
• 54:48
  Speaker 2: there and beat the Seahawks, but it just doesn't feel
• 54:51
  Speaker 2: like that to me. By the way, Greg Bell also
• 54:54
  Speaker 2: updated us on the round Table and a little bit
• 54:57
  Speaker 2: earlier this morning. That's if anybody it's moved at the
• 55:01
  Speaker 2: NFL trading deadline, which is coming up this Tuesday, it
• 55:04
  Speaker 2: could be boy A Mafe, But I don't know how
• 55:06
  Speaker 2: you make that move unless you're also adding a pass rusher.
• 55:09
  Speaker 2: It seems like we're already thin at pass rusher. So
• 55:12
  Speaker 2: if you're gonna trade a pass rusher. It better be
• 55:15
  Speaker 2: part of a trade deadline that also sees you acquiring
• 55:19
  Speaker 2: a pass rusher. Yeah, Miles Scatt for example. Yeah, it's
• 55:22
  Speaker 2: as good as done. Yeah. So a lot going on
• 55:26
  Speaker 2: with the Seahawks commanders. Of course, kickoff will be at
• 55:29
  Speaker 2: five point twenty on Sunday night. Now, the week of
• 55:32
  Speaker 2: the National Football League got started last night with the
• 55:35
  Speaker 2: Baltimore Ravens routing the Miami Dolphins.
• 55:38
  Speaker 11: All walks over to the line the changing play.
• 55:40
  Speaker 6: Two.
• 55:40
  Speaker 11: On the play, Crook claps his hands, gets the snap
• 55:42
  Speaker 11: back to throw back pedaling, back pedaling.
• 55:44
  Speaker 3: Towards the ends up part the five. Mark Andrews with
• 55:46
  Speaker 3: the goal line touchdown. Ravens Baltimore's tight end with his
• 55:52
  Speaker 3: second touchdown grab of the first half. Jackson to Andrews,
• 55:58
  Speaker 3: hurt it so many times, and it's thirteen to three
• 56:01
  Speaker 3: Baltimore fifty seconds into.
• 56:03
  Speaker 2: The second quarter. I just thank you, Wes Wood one.
• 56:06
  Speaker 2: I just can't tell you how awesome it is, What
• 56:08
  Speaker 2: a great feeling it is to add Derrick Henry on
• 56:11
  Speaker 2: your fantasy roster. To get inside the ten yard line
• 56:14
  Speaker 2: four times and never give them the ball. That's awesome.
• 56:16
  Speaker 8: No, I bet that's really great.
• 56:18
  Speaker 2: I really enjoy that.
• 56:19
  Speaker 8: Great fantasy game plan.
• 56:21
  Speaker 6: Great great moment for me.
• 56:22
  Speaker 2: Last night Ravens won easily twenty eight to six over
• 56:25
  Speaker 2: the Miami Dolphins to improve to three and five. And
• 56:28
  Speaker 2: their next six games for people that buried the very
• 56:31
  Speaker 2: talented and always well coached Baltimore Ravens, they play at Minnesota,
• 56:36
  Speaker 2: at Cleveland, home to the Jets, and Bengals home to Pittsburgh,
• 56:41
  Speaker 2: and then at Cincinnati. I mean, I think they could
• 56:44
  Speaker 2: be nine to five at that point. So the Ravens
• 56:47
  Speaker 2: are still favored to win their division by Vegas and
• 56:50
  Speaker 2: pretty much have been throughout this entire process, and now
• 56:53
  Speaker 2: that they've won back to back games, feels like it
• 56:56
  Speaker 2: feels like people are coming around to acknowledging it.
• 57:00
  Speaker 7: I mean, you know they're gonna have to play good
• 57:02
  Speaker 7: complimentary that that offense is dangerous. I mean, we saw
• 57:05
  Speaker 7: it last year with Derrick Henry and Lamar Jackson. Lamar
• 57:09
  Speaker 7: wasn't playing like Lamar though early even before he got hurt,
• 57:12
  Speaker 7: he looked more like Lamar.
• 57:13
  Speaker 2: Why I keep hearing that he scored forty points against
• 57:16
  Speaker 2: the Bills and against the the defense has been horrendous.
• 57:20
  Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, time.
• 57:21
  Speaker 2: I agree with that, but I Lamar Jackson had one
• 57:24
  Speaker 2: bad game against the Chiefs. He did not look like
• 57:27
  Speaker 2: Lamar Jackson, and they've been doing that to everybody Other
• 57:30
  Speaker 2: than that, he was putting forty points on the board
• 57:32
  Speaker 2: every week.
• 57:33
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean, I just didn't feel it felt different.
• 57:36
  Speaker 7: I mean I remember watching his face after during many games,
• 57:40
  Speaker 7: and he just looked kind of poudy, like he had
• 57:42
  Speaker 7: made a mistake or he wasn't doing whatever it took
• 57:44
  Speaker 7: for him to be able to go out there and
• 57:46
  Speaker 7: continue the MVP style stuff.
• 57:48
  Speaker 6: And maybe that's what it is.
• 57:49
  Speaker 7: Maybe it's we've been watching a dude play MVP caliber
• 57:53
  Speaker 7: and maybe it was something slightly less than that. I
• 57:56
  Speaker 7: think that there if you were throwing dirt on him
• 57:58
  Speaker 7: because he was hurt and they were loose and some games,
• 58:00
  Speaker 7: I think that was wrong.
• 58:01
  Speaker 4: I just really liked when they showed the remaining schedule
• 58:03
  Speaker 4: during the game last night, and the toughest team they
• 58:06
  Speaker 4: will face is the Patriots and the next seven weeks.
• 58:10
  Speaker 4: Yeah that was the best. Yeah, that was the best
• 58:12
  Speaker 4: team on their remains the entire schedule. Yes, Yeah, that
• 58:15
  Speaker 4: was it.
• 58:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, Sunday, Indianapolis at Pittsburgh is the best early game, arguably,
• 58:21
  Speaker 2: Kansas City at Buffalo undoubtedly is the best afternoon game,
• 58:25
  Speaker 2: and then your Sunday night affair will all be glued
• 58:27
  Speaker 2: to the television for the Hawks at the Commanders. Item
• 58:31
  Speaker 2: number four on the o JOW. The Huskies are on
• 58:33
  Speaker 2: by this week, but we spent plenty of time this
• 58:35
  Speaker 2: week discussing them. Coach new Isiel joined us on Tuesday,
• 58:38
  Speaker 2: and he mapped out a clear cut key to the
• 58:42
  Speaker 2: Huskies and their remaining games.
• 58:43
  Speaker 13: The two teams that have beaten Washington have held Demon
• 58:46
  Speaker 13: Williams to minus rushing yards. His legs open up the
• 58:51
  Speaker 13: rest of the offense, and the schedule sets up beautifully
• 58:55
  Speaker 13: for him. You know they're going to be favored in
• 58:57
  Speaker 13: their next three games. The only exception will be the
• 59:00
  Speaker 13: finale against Oregon. But if they can win the next three,
• 59:04
  Speaker 13: they get to even if the Oregon game doesn't go well,
• 59:07
  Speaker 13: that's nine and three. A bowl game puts you into
• 59:10
  Speaker 13: a ten and three, ten win season. That is progress,
• 59:13
  Speaker 13: and anybody paying attention to Washington football is going to
• 59:16
  Speaker 13: start taking very close notice about wanting to come to
• 59:19
  Speaker 13: play at Montlay.
• 59:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's really well said.
• 59:21
  Speaker 6: Coach.
• 59:22
  Speaker 2: Usually is you dub at Wisconsin next Saturday. Meanwhile, tomorrow
• 59:26
  Speaker 2: the PAC twelve Championship. Tomorrow, the red hot Washington State
• 59:30
  Speaker 2: Cougars will be at Oregon State to take on the Beavers.
• 59:34
  Speaker 2: The rest of your lineup tomorrow. Some of the highlights
• 59:37
  Speaker 2: Penn State at number one Ohio State, that was supposed
• 59:40
  Speaker 2: to be the game of the year and instead big
• 59:44
  Speaker 2: noon kickoff. They're not even going to get the most eyeballs.
• 59:47
  Speaker 2: I wouldn't think. I would think more people will watch
• 59:50
  Speaker 2: Vanderbilt at Texas at nine am than Penn State at
• 59:54
  Speaker 2: Ohio State afternoon, Oklahoma at Tennessee that's eighteen versus fourteen,
• 59:59
  Speaker 2: and then later seventeen Cincinnati at twenty four Utah. We'll
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 2: have a full Big ten weekend preview coming up. At
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 2: eight forty five tonight, the Toronto Blue Jays have a
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 2: chance to close out the World Series and become world champs.
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 2: And Canadians. Man, they can't figure out why suddenly all
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 2: of America has turned against them as fans.
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 14: I don't know what you're talking A boot, Hey, a boot.
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 15: It's about what we're talking about, and enough of that
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 15: eight business.
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 6: You can learn how to talk right understanding.
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 2: We got ways of making you pronounce the letter. Oh.
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 2: Toronto is up three to two in the best of seven,
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 2: They're gonna have two shots at closing this thing out.
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 2: But for oot right exactly, But for those that are
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 2: already kind of putting it in the win column for Toronto,
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 2: I will just say this, of all the pitchers that
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 2: have pitched in the postseason, Yoshi Yamamado has been the best,
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 2: and he is going tonight. And if they can just
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 2: ride him tonight, then all of a sudden, we're gonna
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 2: have a Game seven. And you know what they say
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 2: about Game sevens, anything can happen.
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 7: M Yeah, I mean, I think anybody if you're thinking
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 7: that there's no chance that the Dodger, I mean they're
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 7: out of all the teams, the Dodgers are the team
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 7: because they could come out and absolutely shove pitching wise,
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 7: and then if that lineup wakes up a little bit,
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 7: they can they can get some stuff done.
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 6: That'said.
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 7: I think so far the Blue Jays have played better
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 7: baseball throughout the course of the first five they outplayed it.
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 7: They've outplayed the outpaid team. And uh and so I mean,
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 7: to some degree, I'm sure it's I'm probably in the
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 7: minority here. I don't really have a dog in the fight,
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 7: and I kind of went into it not really liking
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 7: either team to win, and yet I found myself pretty
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 7: much being happier that the Blue Jays are winning versus
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 7: the instead of the Dodgers.
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 4: I feel like the good news is though, that if
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 4: the Dodgers win to night and you go to a
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 4: game seven, then they could both lose Game seven.
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 2: Right, maybe maybe maybe they're as a wrinkle in the
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 2: rock just finishing a tie. Yeah, wouldn't it be something
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 2: we found out that George Springer really did just help
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 2: the Blue Jays cheat this entire time, and that's the
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 2: reason why they're hitting so well against some of the
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 2: best big I think I just did. Yeah, all right,
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 2: Sounders in action on Monday, they'll take on Minnesota United.
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 2: Of course, the Sounders and the United and Game number
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 2: one or match number one went to a shootout to
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 2: decide the game after scoreless regulation play.
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 9: Uh.
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 2: The mad Scientists you know, probably as him just where
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 2: he wants them, but even he was frustrated by Minnesota's
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 2: game of keep away.
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 6: That they play well.
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 14: The frustrating part about the way they play Softie and
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 14: look they didn't.
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 5: They didn't they say it.
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 2: In the press.
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 13: I mean they want to deliberately.
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 14: Slow the tempo down.
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 16: They want to take this thing out of the game,
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 16: even at home. I mean the goalkeeper was taking thirty
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 16: forty seconds every goalkick. You know, they every free kick,
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 16: they just push guys up the field and ticket long
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 16: and they're long throwing. Look that's who they are.
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 2: We know who they are.
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 14: So does that frustrate us, yes, it makes it difficult
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 14: for the players, yes, But the silver lining was again,
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 14: you know, we created enough chances to get at least one,
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 14: and I think Softly, if we get one at home,
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 14: even if we get one on the road, that might
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 14: be enough because they really didn't have too much. I
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 14: mean they had to break away when when you know,
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 14: Yaimar made a you know, maybe a silly decision at
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 14: midfield and the guy broke in.
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 9: That was their only chance.
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 2: Brian Schmetzer the Mad Scientists song with Softy and Nick
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 2: earlier this week. If you want to hear the entire interview,
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 2: you can do so at ninety three to three KJR
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 2: dot com Monday. That game, that match will be played
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 2: Monday at seven point thirty at Loominfield, and so don't
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 2: put it past the Sounders rallying to win back to
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 2: back games. They usually step up this time of the year. Finally,
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 2: college basketball season will also start on Monday. Head coach
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 2: Danny Sprinkle of the Dogs was with us yesterday and
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 2: talked about the lessons he learned from a disappointing year one.
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 10: It was my third year in a different program. The
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 10: emotions of leaving players that you care about and leaving
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 10: programs and fan bases that you love, Like it's hard,
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 10: you know, and it took an emotional toll on me
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 10: last year that I didn't even really realize until probably
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 10: this June, you know, and like I was spent, you know.
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 10: I just was like you just you just go. You
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 10: just get through today, You get through the day, You
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 10: get through the day. And then it actually felt like
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 10: home probably the end of June. Like honestly, once the
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 10: spring quarter got over and kind of had a week,
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 10: you know, before the guys the new crew came in
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 10: for the summer, and once the new crew came in,
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 10: it was like I was refreshed, you know, it was
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 10: like Okay, let's go, you know, all the lessons we
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 10: learned in year one. Okay, I actually feel comfortable here
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 10: in Seattle. I know where I'm going, I know where
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 10: my home is. You know, I got out of storage,
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 10: like I'm not living out of Will Disley's house, and
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 10: you know, like until like that, that was like the
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 10: comfort level. It's like, okay, like I can breathe, let's go.
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 2: They had a heck of an offseason. They got votes
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 2: for Top twenty five coming off a disastrous year record
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 2: wise a year ago. That shows you just how much
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 2: progress that they've made talent wise through the transfer portal.
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 2: Danny Sprinkle and the Dogs will debut in twenty twenty five,
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 2: twenty twenty six, Monday night at eight o'clock. As a
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 2: matter of fact, they played the last game of the day.
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 2: One hundred and sixty nine college basketball games are scheduled
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 2: to be played on Monday.
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 7: Geez weeze again after it it's here. It did totally
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 7: snuck up on me, by the way. I mean, I
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 7: think the Mariners playoff run was just kind of all encompassing,
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 7: and you still had to have your eye on the NFL.
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 7: But I was completely shocked when I think it was Purple.
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 7: She was like, yeah, they already played one, like a
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 7: little tune up game, and the Sea the starts in
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 7: like three days.
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 6: I'm like, what that happened?
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 4: I think you were right there though, Bucky, because yeah,
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 4: we're never We're not used to watching the Mariners most
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 4: of the way through October, so we've got a gap.
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 2: We'll get used to it anyway.
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 4: I'm going to be used to it too. I want
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 4: to plan things around Mariners playoff games.
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 8: Damn it, Cracking.
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 2: Rangers Saturday night, so they cracking have had a little
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 2: extra time off in the schedule this week, so they
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 2: will be coming off three four days rest when they
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 2: take on the Rangers Saturday night at Climate Pledge Arena.
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 2: And you can hear the action right here on kJ
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 2: R all right, coming up next, why you may want
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 2: the Jays to win the World Series? Sports Radio ninety
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 2: three point three kJ RFM pretty much just trying to
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 2: pull off the unzipped check out my chest. Well oh yeah, look,
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 2: and I now know based on the photo we just took,
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 2: I dressed as a Sith Lord. Yes for Halloween. So
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 2: happy Halloween everyone. We roll into the nine o'clock hours
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 2: to be joined by our QB one Hugh Millan is
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 2: with us his X's and O segment brought to you
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 2: by Frost Brewed Corpse Light, Huice Chill. Hello Hugh, Happy Halloween,
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 2: Happy Halloween, good day, fun day. All right, what do
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 2: you what are you handing out? Are you giving the
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 2: missus sweet potatoes with the with the marshmallows?
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 15: And we're going with Halloween, so you know what Sea
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 15: handles at. You know, I just say, go go to Costco.
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 15: Make sure we get the big I don't want people
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 15: talking smack about us that we give out lightweight candy,
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 15: So get the big stuff.
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 2: I love the idea of like you sitting there just
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 2: scooping out some sweet potatoes and just right into the
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 2: bags of the kids. Yeah, I kind of like that idea.
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 2: Let's get the house toilet papered. After that, well, let's
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 2: dive in Seahawks take on the Commanders on Sunday night.
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 2: I want to bring up something that we discussed right
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 2: off the top of the show. I think maybe we
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 2: haven't discussed enough how few times Sam Darnold has been
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 2: sacked this year, just nine, compared to the two quarterbacks
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 2: we had previously to Sam Donald, where that was a
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 2: weekly issue. That the Seahawks. And we discussed about the Seahawks.
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 2: I certainly think the offensive line is better, but I
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 2: don't know if they deserve all the credit for that.
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 2: Where does the credit go for how few times Sam
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 2: Donald's been dumped on his keyster?
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 15: Well, I think that the portion that Sam Donald deserves
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 15: credit is is just an awareness of of the threats
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 15: that are, whether it's blitzes that he has an awareness
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 15: of where his hot receivers are. Oftentimes he'll be looking
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 15: down the field and and and there'll be a flash
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 15: of a potential sack of pressure and then he'll quickly
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 15: get the ball to the outlet he knows, even if
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 15: they're on the opposite side of the field. He races
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 15: through his progressions sometimes you know, will oftentimes see him
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 15: on a swing pass on this fifth progression off of
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 15: just one hit. So I think mca caanically, you know,
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 15: you know he's so signed of a veteran understanding it,
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 15: and and then you know there's a scheme portion of it.
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 15: They've they've protected a Lucas after Nick Bosa, you know
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 15: w rec Game one, uh you saw thereafter a big
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 15: effort to help a Lucas and have tight ends, chipping
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 15: and what have you really not leaving open edge to him.
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 15: So I think, you know, as is generally the case,
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 15: it's it's a uh that there's a number of factors
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 15: and you see that on tape.
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 7: What how much do you put into how he's playing
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 7: the position in how much credit do you give to
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 7: kind of the attempt at being balanced at least? I mean,
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 7: they're trying to run the ball. Maybe it's not crazy effective.
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 7: I think it sometimes they should give ken Walker just
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 7: more times of handing it to him, you know, times
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 7: in a row, let him kind of eat a little bit.
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 7: But uh, are you giving any credit to the way
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 7: in which Sam Darnol's playing quarterback and taking care of
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 7: the ball for the most part, to the balance attack?
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 15: Yeah, Well, the Seaxs are number one in terms of
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 15: their run percentage, in which means they're dead last in
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 15: terms of past percentage percentage of plays that are run,
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 15: So they're trying. Unfortunately at thirtieth in the league, they're
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 15: near the bottom in terms of the yards per rush
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 15: and I don't see any improvement likely to happen. Last
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 15: year they went in weeks one through eight they were
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 15: four point three. Then for the second half of the
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 15: year there four point two, so they went from twentieth.
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 15: That actually went to eighteenth the year before. They went
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 15: from four point three in the first half, they dropped
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 15: to four point zero the second. So you know, history
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 15: has shown as they're not likely to improve. If you
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 15: look at schematically the outside zone, it's kind of funny.
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 15: I can use the term comparative advantage. Their best play
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 15: relative to the league is the outside zone at four
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 15: point two yards per attempt, but that's just nineteenth of
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 15: all teams running the outside zone. Inside zone they're twenty fourth.
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 15: The gap scheme where you're blocking down and then pulling
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 15: guards gaping power encounter. Those are gap skins. They're twenty
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 15: eighth and twenty first in the league and yards per
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 15: tempt respectively. Another play called duo where you get double
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 15: teams on to the strong side but you don't pull
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 15: it back. Guy, they're three and a half yards. They're
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 15: twenty sixth. So I'm looking for ways like, hey, you know,
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 15: you know, maybe maybe have a little shift away from that,
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 15: you know, go from here. This has really been working
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 15: for you. I'm looking for it. I can't find it.
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 15: I don't expect there to be a real material change
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 15: in the quality of the running game. But I think
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 15: that to your point, if you do keep investing in
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 15: those body blows, maybe that helps reduce the sacks. For
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 15: what that's worth, the Commanders come in at at eight
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 15: point eight percent of passes result in sacks against the
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 15: Commander defense. That's eighth in the NFL. A little bit
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 15: of a concern there, particularly deron pain over on Abe
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 15: Lucas's side. As I mentioned, he's got the highest cap
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 15: number of any defensive player in the league. How about
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 15: that at twenty six million, So so you got to
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 15: you gotta be aware of him. Other than that, the defense,
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 15: you know, the Commander defenses is not good. They're falling off,
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 15: and so I think that there should be opportunities for
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 15: some some you know, get their running game going a
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 15: little bit and and certainly Sam Darnold on papers should
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 15: have another good game.
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm expecting it. Hugh Millan is with us ARA
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 2: QB one here x is and O segment every Friday
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 2: during the football season on the defensive side of the ball.
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 2: I know that you are a member of the Mike
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 2: McDonald Admiration Society. You think a lot of his skill
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 2: as a defensive minded head coach. And and yet he
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 2: says earlier this week, or at least revealed to Greg Bell,
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 2: that I finally get to implement my defense now that
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 2: I got Witherspoon and Emon Worri in the secondary together.
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 2: What do you think that means? What is that unlock
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 2: for McDonald? Well, I've spent a lot of time thinking
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 2: about this week. I think for me, I think that
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 2: involves Witherspoon playing out at cornerback when they're in nickel
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 2: and the and the Seahawks right now are number one
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 2: in the percentage of nickel at eighty seven point eight percent.
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 2: They're just twentieth in the use of dime at three
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 2: and a half percent. So I think you're gonna see
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 2: more dime with Witherspoon as one overhang defender and Emon
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 2: Worry as the other. So I you know, I think
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 2: you can bring more blitzes, you know, and he likes
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 2: to bring the zone pressures that you know, there is
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 2: something about Nick m and Worry. You know.
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 15: I'm really interested in in when the Seahawks play cover one.
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 15: So I went in and look, there's been thirteen snaps.
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 15: Cover one is just man and man with a free safety.
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 15: That is the conventional way teams play man and man.
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 15: There's been thirteen snaps with m and Worry. I'm playing
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 15: cover one. He has just lined up. Here's the evidence.
• 1:14:04
  Speaker 15: He just lines up and he covers whoever number two is,
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 15: number two is is counting outside in the widest guy
• 1:14:10
  Speaker 15: to the sideline, that's number one. He whoever's in number two,
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 15: and you know he's he has, he has Ammin Worry
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 15: has covered Jalen Nowell three times. He's five foot ten,
• 1:14:22
  Speaker 15: two hundred one pounds. He's covered Braxton Barrios five nine
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 15: and one hundred and eighty fives. He's covered Jaydon Higgins
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 15: sixty four two fifteen. He's covered Tim Patrick sixty four
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 15: to two ten. He's covered tight ends on three or
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 15: four occasions. He's covered. He covered Christian McCaffery up for
• 1:14:39
  Speaker 15: one snap before he got hurt in the forty nine ers.
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 15: He covered Chris Godwin uh uh a sixty one two
• 1:14:45
  Speaker 15: nine a Mecha Buka sixty one to two of five.
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 15: Like all side, what that should tell you? In thirteen snaps,
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 15: he has covered whomever, however, big or small receiver, tight
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 15: end doesn't matter. He just covers that guy. And by
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 15: the way, he's only been targeted one time out of
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 15: those thirteen snaps. It was on a fader route. Who's
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 15: fourteen for Houston uh uh xavior Hutchinson. I think it
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 15: was Jaylen noel Ok and he covered him beautifully and
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 15: and it was an incomplete So he has in man coverage.
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 15: He has targeted once no completion, So so that is
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 15: very encouraging to me when I consider, you know him
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 15: at six three two twenty, I ran into Buddha Baker
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 15: kind of in a golf thing and we were talking
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 15: about Emon Warry in the offseason and he had worked
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 15: out with him. I hope I'm not violating any confidence
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 15: from Buddha, but you.
• 1:15:39
  Speaker 6: Know he had he really praised Nick.
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 15: But you know, we kind of talked about does he
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 15: have that short area, you know, if somebody runs a
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 15: whip route, starts the shall across, snaps back out, does
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 15: he have the quickness? And Buddha's like, well, you know,
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 15: he kind of gave well, you know, you want to
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 15: say it, but you know he kind of could read
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 15: into it.
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 2: So, you know, so.
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 15: There's legit concerns about a two hundred and twenty pounds.
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 2: Man.
• 1:15:59
  Speaker 15: Uh, you know, guardy and as I said, a five
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 15: nine eighty five, I promise you if your business card
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 15: says wide receiver and you are five nine one eight five,
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 15: you are quick as hell. And and yet the the
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 15: sea arcs hey because of his length. It's kind of
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 15: like when you play a guy in one on one basketball.
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 15: I'm six five, so I I you know, on long arms.
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 15: But but you know, if I play a shorter guy,
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 15: you know, I say, hey, he's quicker than me. But
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 15: if I'm quick enough, my length is going to be
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 15: a problem. Even though he absolutely he's quicker than me.
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 15: But but I can still, you know, you know, just
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 15: create some create some problems, or at least that's the theory,
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 15: you know, you know. So yes, Roxon Barrios at five
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 15: nine five is quicker, but he him and Worry is
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 15: quick enough and his strength and his length is able
• 1:16:45
  Speaker 15: to compensate. So it's an important part of what they do.
• 1:16:48
  Speaker 9: Uh.
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 15: And and now with Witherspoon, we'll see what kind of
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 15: uh zone pressures and simulated pressures. I can't wait to
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 15: see it. U. We haven't seen those two guys on
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 15: the field together. And and uh, I'm just that's going
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 15: to be a Halloween treat in itself.
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 7: All right, You keep that Mike McDonald defensive hat on,
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 7: because I mean, I have a little bit of concern
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 7: about the strength that is the Seahawks defense, or the
• 1:17:12
  Speaker 7: defense in general is the strength. But they do tend
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 7: to stop the run. I think their ranked number one
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 7: in the NFL at that right now, and yet I
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 7: could foresee some possible trouble if they let Jayden Daniels
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 7: get loose or this Bill McCroskey, merrit Kid get loose,
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 7: and possibly even Deebo Samuel that they might use. Greg
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 7: was mentioning that he might be used in the run
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 7: game as well. So what's your game plan to make
• 1:17:34
  Speaker 7: sure that that run game stastes out like it has been?
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 9: Yeah?
• 1:17:37
  Speaker 15: I like the Seahawks matchup against to Gory cross get
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 15: merit Man. He's their number one running back, but rusting
• 1:17:46
  Speaker 15: yards per attempt on designed runs, that's excluding the scrambles
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 15: the Commanders at five point zero, that's second in the NFL.
• 1:17:53
  Speaker 15: That gets your tention, But I think I still think Seattle.
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 15: That's a strength of Seattle. They're number one in the NFL.
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 15: The Seahawks at three point three opponent yards per rush.
• 1:18:02
  Speaker 15: By the way, the Commanders are are nineteenth in the league.
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 15: But I think that the question when you're talking about
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 15: Jayden Daniels and the scramble Daniels per game he has,
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 15: He's five exactly five scrambles per game. That's first in
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 15: the NFL. To put that into context, Lamar Jackson is
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 15: only two point two scrambles per game. Again, Daniels five
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 15: rushing yard or excuse me, yards per game in scrambles
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 15: thirty six doesn't sound a lot, but if you get
• 1:18:31
  Speaker 15: three or four first downs, that can really hurt you.
• 1:18:34
  Speaker 15: And his scramble percentage thirteen point seven percent of his
• 1:18:38
  Speaker 15: times when he drops back, that's number one. Again, Lamar
• 1:18:43
  Speaker 15: is only seven and a half percent. So here's the thing. Contain.
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 15: This has been a problem for Seattle. It costs, you know,
• 1:18:49
  Speaker 15: on a contained DeMarcus Lawrence lost. Contain when Brock Purty
• 1:18:54
  Speaker 15: extended to play on the game winner in Week one.
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 15: If Jacksonville was going to have an unlikely back, remember
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 15: when they Trevor Lawrence converted that unlikely fourth and five
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 15: that was losing contained right handed quarterback out the right side,
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 15: he throws across his body if you if you win
• 1:19:12
  Speaker 15: that play, you're not even sweating that game. So this
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 15: has been a problem. Obviously, Daniel's a right handed quarterback.
• 1:19:18
  Speaker 15: You've got to keep him outside.
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 5: Now.
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 15: When he does get outside the pocket, his attempts three
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 15: point eight per per per game, that's thirty third. But
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 15: his scramble percentage when he gets out he you know
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 15: a lot of times they say guys are looking when
• 1:19:35
  Speaker 15: they scramble, they're looking to pass.
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 2: When he scrambles, he's looking to scramble.
• 1:19:39
  Speaker 15: When he gets outside the pocket, fifty one percent times
• 1:19:42
  Speaker 15: he's gonna run the ball.
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 2: That's second in the NFL.
• 1:19:45
  Speaker 15: And outside the pocket his passer rating is one hundred
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 15: and eighteenth, that's eighth. So so I would just say this,
• 1:19:50
  Speaker 15: he's a right handed quarterback. If you're gonna make if
• 1:19:52
  Speaker 15: you're gonna allow him to get out of the pocket,
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 15: have your breakdown beast so that he's a right hand
• 1:19:58
  Speaker 15: quarterback going to his left.
• 1:20:00
  Speaker 2: But don't.
• 1:20:00
  Speaker 15: But we got to stop this issue of of letting
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 15: a right handed quarterback out the right handed side of
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 15: the pocket, so that those components in stopping the run,
• 1:20:10
  Speaker 15: I think are're gonna be a vital on Sunday.
• 1:20:13
  Speaker 2: Well, you have Daniels, who obviously is a running threat.
• 1:20:16
  Speaker 2: Samuel is your wide receiver one without Terry McLaurin, and
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 2: he's mostly a running back threat. And then you have
• 1:20:24
  Speaker 2: the actual run game that they implement. Does that work
• 1:20:28
  Speaker 2: for the Seahawks and their number one ranked rush defense
• 1:20:32
  Speaker 2: or does that work against it? To have that many
• 1:20:34
  Speaker 2: weapons coming at you. I kind of like seat.
• 1:20:38
  Speaker 15: I think that they have an ability to build a
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 15: wall and really spill things to the outside. I think
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 15: now with with Witherspoon back on the field, they're gonna
• 1:20:46
  Speaker 15: have more team speed. If if they want to run outside,
• 1:20:49
  Speaker 15: I think you spill that. And and if Emon Worries
• 1:20:51
  Speaker 15: an alley player an overhang player on one side and
• 1:20:56
  Speaker 15: uh and and Witherspoon is on the other, I think
• 1:20:59
  Speaker 15: I think those guys are gonna they can cover a
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 15: lot of ground to the flat.
• 1:21:03
  Speaker 2: So I don't know, I feel pretty good about it, Chuck, You.
• 1:21:07
  Speaker 15: Know, I think I think the concern You know, we
• 1:21:10
  Speaker 15: talked about the Seahawks and covering tight ends, and we
• 1:21:13
  Speaker 15: talked about it before the Cardinals and then trade McBride
• 1:21:15
  Speaker 15: steel he went off relatively So the Seahawks giving up
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 15: sixty three yards per game to tight ends. That's that's
• 1:21:23
  Speaker 15: eighth most, and they're passer rating. When the Seahawks all
• 1:21:28
  Speaker 15: passes going to non tight ends, the opponent passer rating
• 1:21:33
  Speaker 15: against the Seahawks is seventy eight, so Seahawks are fourth best.
• 1:21:38
  Speaker 15: But when opponents target a tight end, the passer rating
• 1:21:42
  Speaker 15: jumps from seventy eight to one hundred and seven passer rating.
• 1:21:46
  Speaker 15: So in zach Ertz, you know, look, he's passes pride,
• 1:21:48
  Speaker 15: he's on the injury report, but he's.
• 1:21:50
  Speaker 6: A heady guy.
• 1:21:50
  Speaker 15: He's got moxie, knows how to find holes and zones.
• 1:21:54
  Speaker 15: You know, that's an issue and and somewhat related to that,
• 1:21:58
  Speaker 15: and you know, I'm just kind of my notes here.
• 1:22:01
  Speaker 15: Here's an interesting split for Jaden Daniels his pass Now,
• 1:22:06
  Speaker 15: you wouldn't expect that teams would play a lot of
• 1:22:09
  Speaker 15: man to man because Jaden Daniels has such a running threat,
• 1:22:12
  Speaker 15: and they say, well, who's gonna who's gonna cover him?
• 1:22:16
  Speaker 15: If you uh, who's gonna spy him if he runs?
• 1:22:19
  Speaker 15: But if against cover one, Jaden Daniels his passer rating
• 1:22:25
  Speaker 15: is sixty eight. That's thirty third in the NFL. You know,
• 1:22:29
  Speaker 15: contrast that to uh, you know, a cover two of
• 1:22:32
  Speaker 15: five under zone where everybody's eyes are on the quarterback.
• 1:22:35
  Speaker 15: That's probably what he's used to seeing throughout his career
• 1:22:37
  Speaker 15: because he probably doesn't see a lot of man.
• 1:22:39
  Speaker 6: Uh.
• 1:22:40
  Speaker 15: His passer ratings one hundred and fourteen. Let me say
• 1:22:41
  Speaker 15: that again, man to man sixty eight and it jumps
• 1:22:44
  Speaker 15: to one hundred and fourteen and against a very conservative zone.
• 1:22:47
  Speaker 15: So so and then I say.
• 1:22:48
  Speaker 6: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
• 1:22:50
  Speaker 15: There's two ways to play man and man cover one.
• 1:22:52
  Speaker 15: You can rush four and have a spy, and you
• 1:22:55
  Speaker 15: can rush five. If there's no way he's seeing five
• 1:22:59
  Speaker 15: man rushes because there's literally nobody for the quarterback. Well,
• 1:23:04
  Speaker 15: it's happened, and his passer rating is only forty four.
• 1:23:08
  Speaker 15: So how lucky are you feeling, Mike McDonald if you
• 1:23:11
  Speaker 15: want to run a five man cover one? This guy
• 1:23:15
  Speaker 15: has really had a problem. As I said, he doesn't
• 1:23:17
  Speaker 15: see a lot of man to man. I think there's
• 1:23:19
  Speaker 15: more of a primacy on accuracy, maybe less of a
• 1:23:22
  Speaker 15: primacy on anticipation, you know, so there's a skill set
• 1:23:26
  Speaker 15: that's different.
• 1:23:26
  Speaker 2: He doesn't see a lot of man to man.
• 1:23:28
  Speaker 8: If you want to throw five guys out of him.
• 1:23:30
  Speaker 15: I wouldn't have the guts to do it, but those
• 1:23:32
  Speaker 15: who have have had success. So that's something to watch
• 1:23:35
  Speaker 15: as well. If you see on Sunday night where Jade
• 1:23:38
  Speaker 15: Daniels scrambles for like a twenty seven yard er and
• 1:23:41
  Speaker 15: they're going man to man, just count the number are there?
• 1:23:44
  Speaker 15: Is it a four man rush or a five because
• 1:23:47
  Speaker 15: you know four man rush? Yeah, at least you gonna
• 1:23:49
  Speaker 15: have a spy there. Maybe Ernest Jones will whoever it is,
• 1:23:52
  Speaker 15: feel like he can he can hunt him down. But
• 1:23:54
  Speaker 15: if you rush five man, you better hold your breath.
• 1:23:57
  Speaker 6: Hell of a breakdown right there. Yeah. I just started
• 1:24:01
  Speaker 6: this week really listening to this. Is that right?
• 1:24:03
  Speaker 7: Why once you told me that he's a former NFL quarterback,
• 1:24:07
  Speaker 7: I was like, then he probably I should probably pay
• 1:24:10
  Speaker 7: at day?
• 1:24:11
  Speaker 5: All right?
• 1:24:12
  Speaker 9: Man?
• 1:24:12
  Speaker 2: Well thank you? Thanks, great breakdown a lot. All right,
• 1:24:18
  Speaker 2: have a good weekend, all right you? Mil qb one

• 1:25:00
  Speaker 1: all the kids.
• 1:25:00
  Speaker 6: In the neighborhood.
• 1:25:01
  Speaker 2: Do you think so?
• 1:25:03
  Speaker 5: More?
• 1:25:03
  Speaker 6: Is that? I mean?
• 1:25:04
  Speaker 7: I think nowadays he's just kind of uh, you know,
• 1:25:07
  Speaker 7: answers a door, big burly but you know, calm, and
• 1:25:11
  Speaker 7: then hands out probably king sized candyll.
• 1:25:13
  Speaker 2: Sin as far from b Bbe pulled that trick on.
• 1:25:16
  Speaker 2: It doesn't trust Halloween anymore possible.
• 1:25:20
  Speaker 9: Oh yeah, good morning guys. Yeah, ruined Halloween for me forever. No,
• 1:25:26
  Speaker 9: it's uh, but Bucky's right. I'm a hand out, big
• 1:25:30
  Speaker 9: candy bars person.
• 1:25:32
  Speaker 5: But we.
• 1:25:36
  Speaker 9: Live in a condos, so we don't get anything. No
• 1:25:38
  Speaker 9: one comes where we are. So, but when we were
• 1:25:41
  Speaker 9: in a neighborhood and I had a house. Yeah, it was,
• 1:25:45
  Speaker 9: it was and Green Bay. It was funny in Green Bay.
• 1:25:47
  Speaker 9: They they said it was very structured. They set times
• 1:25:50
  Speaker 9: between six and eight or you know, and then they
• 1:25:53
  Speaker 9: shut everything down. And in small city can do that.
• 1:25:56
  Speaker 9: Small town So it was fun always like Halloween. And
• 1:25:59
  Speaker 9: then growing up, I remember one quick thing. We didn't
• 1:26:02
  Speaker 9: have any money. So my dad, it's Halloween. Okay, what
• 1:26:07
  Speaker 9: are you going to be? My dad goes, I think
• 1:26:09
  Speaker 9: he should be a hobol. So I wore a my
• 1:26:12
  Speaker 9: T shirt, jeans that he got a stick for me.
• 1:26:14
  Speaker 9: He had a bag on the end of it. You're
• 1:26:16
  Speaker 9: all set go same.
• 1:26:17
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I say.
• 1:26:18
  Speaker 7: I wore his T shirt, his jeans, stuffed a pillow
• 1:26:21
  Speaker 7: in the butt and a pillow in the stomach, and
• 1:26:23
  Speaker 7: then the stick in a handkerchief. With that I walked
• 1:26:26
  Speaker 7: around with and charcoal on my face for a five. Yeah,
• 1:26:31
  Speaker 7: we're all the same.
• 1:26:35
  Speaker 2: Coach Olgrin with us right here on Chuck and Buck
• 1:26:37
  Speaker 2: in the morning. All right, let's talk a little football
• 1:26:39
  Speaker 2: taking on the Commanders on Sunday night. Man, the Commanders
• 1:26:43
  Speaker 2: are just so beat up and they're playing on short
• 1:26:46
  Speaker 2: rest where the Seahawks might be the healthiest they've been
• 1:26:49
  Speaker 2: all season long and got a bye week. I mean,
• 1:26:52
  Speaker 2: how big of an advantage does that feel like the
• 1:26:54
  Speaker 2: Seahawks have heading into Sunday Night.
• 1:26:57
  Speaker 9: Well, I couldn't have come at a better time, and
• 1:26:59
  Speaker 9: it's a huge advantage, and particularly the way Washington schedules
• 1:27:03
  Speaker 9: set up. And it also goes to show you, and
• 1:27:07
  Speaker 9: not just Washington, but all the teams. You lose your
• 1:27:10
  Speaker 9: starting quarterback for a while, it changes everything. It just
• 1:27:13
  Speaker 9: changes everything. Your defense has to be spectacular otherwise you're
• 1:27:17
  Speaker 9: going to lose the football game. It's not the same
• 1:27:20
  Speaker 9: now they get Jayden Daniels back. Washington does. But I
• 1:27:23
  Speaker 9: think tremendous advantage to the Seahawks this week.
• 1:27:27
  Speaker 7: Coach, I've been kind of discounting the five and two
• 1:27:31
  Speaker 7: to some degree, not totally. I mean, I think that
• 1:27:32
  Speaker 7: this is a really good football team, and yet I
• 1:27:35
  Speaker 7: was saying earlier in the show that I don't feel
• 1:27:38
  Speaker 7: great about any of their wins and the couple teams
• 1:27:40
  Speaker 7: they've lost to, I think I feel like they maybe
• 1:27:43
  Speaker 7: are better. Maybe not the Niners as hurt as they are,
• 1:27:46
  Speaker 7: but the Buccaneers, I do think, even though that was
• 1:27:48
  Speaker 7: a close ball game, So I kind of want you
• 1:27:50
  Speaker 7: to coach me up as if you were to have
• 1:27:53
  Speaker 7: heard me say that. Just let me know exactly how
• 1:27:56
  Speaker 7: difficult wins are, whether it's against the Cardinals, Saints, you know,
• 1:27:59
  Speaker 7: Texas there even the you know, Steelers and Jaguars, who
• 1:28:02
  Speaker 7: both have winning records.
• 1:28:04
  Speaker 9: Yeah, I agree with you, Bucky. That's kind of how
• 1:28:08
  Speaker 9: I've been thinking as well. They won some really close games,
• 1:28:12
  Speaker 9: and you know, they lost a couple of close games,
• 1:28:14
  Speaker 9: but they've been relatively close most of the time against
• 1:28:18
  Speaker 9: teams that in the beginning of the season I thought
• 1:28:21
  Speaker 9: would just be okay, you know that they're middle of
• 1:28:24
  Speaker 9: the road teams, and now I thought Washington, excuse me,
• 1:28:30
  Speaker 9: would be a real challenge. But they've been hurt and
• 1:28:32
  Speaker 9: banged up and they're not the same team that was
• 1:28:34
  Speaker 9: at the beginning of the season. So I kind of
• 1:28:36
  Speaker 9: agree with you. I think, however, they would stand out.
• 1:28:41
  Speaker 9: What stood out to me was how their defense and
• 1:28:44
  Speaker 9: how the secondary in particular has played even with the
• 1:28:47
  Speaker 9: injured guys, the new guys, the young guys come in
• 1:28:50
  Speaker 9: and they're playing pretty well. Why because the defensive front
• 1:28:53
  Speaker 9: has been spectacular. I mean, they've really done a nice
• 1:28:56
  Speaker 9: job up front. And then Sam Darnold is playing very
• 1:28:59
  Speaker 9: very well well on offense, and of course the receiver
• 1:29:02
  Speaker 9: Enigma is just shooting lights out. I suspect in the
• 1:29:06
  Speaker 9: second half of the season, though, teams have to do
• 1:29:10
  Speaker 9: something about him, you know, because it's he's just he's
• 1:29:15
  Speaker 9: just doing whatever he wants out there, and he's looking
• 1:29:17
  Speaker 9: great doing it.
• 1:29:18
  Speaker 2: What would you do with him? You have a wide
• 1:29:20
  Speaker 2: receiver that just continuously keeps getting open and a quarterback
• 1:29:24
  Speaker 2: that loves throwing to him. At one point, do you say, well,
• 1:29:28
  Speaker 2: if you're not going to take it away from me,
• 1:29:29
  Speaker 2: I'm just going to keep going. Or do you have
• 1:29:31
  Speaker 2: to kind of create the balance that might be more
• 1:29:35
  Speaker 2: long term beneficial.
• 1:29:37
  Speaker 9: Yeah, I think you have to create the balance. And
• 1:29:40
  Speaker 9: then you know, I can remember, I can remember I
• 1:29:44
  Speaker 9: think I don't know if we mentioned it before, but
• 1:29:46
  Speaker 9: we played Carolina in the championship game in d Steve
• 1:29:49
  Speaker 9: Smith was a great receiver for them, and I stayed
• 1:29:52
  Speaker 9: away from frit Sherman and my coordinators in Seattle as
• 1:29:58
  Speaker 9: well them do it, except when I knew the receiver
• 1:30:02
  Speaker 9: and I knew kind of what I knew the team
• 1:30:04
  Speaker 9: on offense would do, and I went in and I
• 1:30:07
  Speaker 9: just said, listen, I don't know you make your plan,
• 1:30:09
  Speaker 9: but I want him hit or at the line of
• 1:30:12
  Speaker 9: scrimmage on every play. I want him banged round so
• 1:30:15
  Speaker 9: he just can't get into the secondary. And so I
• 1:30:18
  Speaker 9: think teams, if it was me, that's what I would
• 1:30:21
  Speaker 9: do with Jigma, you know, just make sure that he
• 1:30:24
  Speaker 9: just can't release cleanly. When he does that, he finds
• 1:30:27
  Speaker 9: he's good enough and he finds the open area. And
• 1:30:30
  Speaker 9: you know, to say, okay, if we stop Jigma, that
• 1:30:34
  Speaker 9: will open up other guys. I said, okay, fine, but
• 1:30:37
  Speaker 9: we're going to stop this guy. This guy can't can't
• 1:30:41
  Speaker 9: beat this by himself.
• 1:30:43
  Speaker 2: Well what about Jayde Daniels? What would you do with him?
• 1:30:46
  Speaker 2: If you had a talent who's who's a little banged
• 1:30:49
  Speaker 2: up right now, but you know you want him to
• 1:30:51
  Speaker 2: run a little bit. But how much do you just
• 1:30:54
  Speaker 2: uncork him? Considering his recent injuries. What kind of factor
• 1:30:59
  Speaker 2: is he going to be someday?
• 1:30:59
  Speaker 4: Now?
• 1:31:00
  Speaker 9: Well, I think he's going to be a big factor.
• 1:31:02
  Speaker 9: He's going to be a big boost to the team. Now,
• 1:31:05
  Speaker 9: how how he handles his injury, how the injury affects
• 1:31:08
  Speaker 9: his play, That'll be one one thing to watch. I
• 1:31:12
  Speaker 9: don't think Chuck that I think he's gonna play the
• 1:31:15
  Speaker 9: way he plays. You might tell him now, just you know,
• 1:31:18
  Speaker 9: be a little cautious, but that falls on deaf ears.
• 1:31:22
  Speaker 9: He's going to play and react to a particular play
• 1:31:25
  Speaker 9: or a situation because he's an athlete and that's what
• 1:31:28
  Speaker 9: he does. So you just pray that that he doesn't
• 1:31:31
  Speaker 9: get bad if you're the you know, Washington, that he
• 1:31:34
  Speaker 9: doesn't get banged up again, because they really need him
• 1:31:37
  Speaker 9: to play well to have a chance to win the game.
• 1:31:39
  Speaker 2: All right, So is there any truth to uh Halloween
• 1:31:42
  Speaker 2: trick or treating? In Green Bay? You just hand out cheese,
• 1:31:44
  Speaker 2: just like craft singles and kurds and stuff like that.
• 1:31:48
  Speaker 9: Yeah, cheese, kurds, crackers, maybe some maybe some sausage. I would,
• 1:31:56
  Speaker 9: I would, You know, you gotta you gotta kind of
