Transcript
- 0:02Speaker 1: Riding irish of Notre Dame.
- 0:04Speaker 2: Two losses first two games of the season, one on
- 0:07Speaker 2: the literal last play of the game, the other on
- 0:10Speaker 2: the virtual last play of the game after missing an
- 0:12Speaker 2: extra point, and they're getting some respect because of how
- 0:15Speaker 2: they played and probably outtiped those losses and the way
- 0:18Speaker 2: they look now they look like a dominant football team
- 0:21Speaker 2: running you see out with Stanton, etc.
- 0:23Speaker 3: They could probably point to, well, hey, they were out
- 0:26Speaker 3: some guys, they didn't know who they were new DC
- 0:28Speaker 3: and now all those players and coaches that are in
- 0:30Speaker 3: the rumor saying, look how they're playing now eight games
- 0:32Speaker 3: into the eight games later, they are completely different.
- 0:35Speaker 1: Unail outs out of the ball.
- 0:36Speaker 2: Number nine, the Oregon Ducks. Now, this is a team
- 0:41Speaker 2: I was really interested to see because while they had
- 0:44Speaker 2: the loss to Indiana in a great game in Eugene,
- 0:48Speaker 2: not a lot of other things on their resume, overtime
- 0:50Speaker 2: against Penn State, which at the time looked like a
- 0:54Speaker 2: pretty good win, but now since it does not look
- 0:57Speaker 2: great they went overtime with Penn State.
- 0:59Speaker 3: I think everybody ignore is the firepower and there's no
- 1:01Speaker 3: one that denies the ceiling that Oregon has on their
- 1:04Speaker 3: best day. We sought against Rutgers, but right now their
- 1:07Speaker 3: best wins against a five and three Northwestern team.
- 1:09Speaker 1: And that's noticed. Oh, some of the chatter last night
- 1:14Speaker 1: from the college football rankings, the first ones that came out.
- 1:17Speaker 1: Of course, they really do mean nothing. It's just to
- 1:20Speaker 1: give you a fun gauge of the temperature of the water.
- 1:23Speaker 4: I think these mean more than preseason polls.
- 1:26Speaker 5: Yeah, they do.
- 1:26Speaker 1: They absolutely mean more than preseason polls. And so we
- 1:30Speaker 1: know that Ohio State right now, according to the committee,
- 1:33Speaker 1: is the number one ranked team, the team to chase
- 1:36Speaker 1: Indiana's number two, an m number three in Alabama number four.
- 1:40Speaker 1: Of course, you heard some of the chatter about the
- 1:42Speaker 1: bigger surprises. Notre Dame entered at number ten, not a surprise,
- 1:46Speaker 1: but it was very intriguing to see where the committee
- 1:49Speaker 1: would start them in this process. Byu number seven with
- 1:53Speaker 1: their undefeated record, and they will face Texas Tech this weekend,
- 1:57Speaker 1: who's number eight, and then Oregon all the way down
- 1:59Speaker 1: to number nine. And yeah, everything they said about the
- 2:03Speaker 1: Oregon Duck resume we discussed at six thirty true, true,
- 2:08Speaker 1: not picking on our rivals down south, it's just the
- 2:11Speaker 1: absolute truth. And now we're going off of actual information,
- 2:16Speaker 1: resume strength, and not just who looks better on paper.
- 2:20Speaker 1: That's the idea behind waiting till week number ten to
- 2:25Speaker 1: dive into college football playoff rankings. And so we got
- 2:29Speaker 1: our first show yesterday. There'll be a second one Tuesday.
- 2:31Speaker 1: The only one that matters is the final one. Let's
- 2:34Speaker 1: take a look at the rest of your headlines here
- 2:36Speaker 1: on this Wednesday. They're brought to you by Frost Brewed
- 2:39Speaker 1: Corps Light Chose Chill. The Mariners picked up the option
- 2:42Speaker 1: of Andre Smunjos at about seven MIL for this upcoming season.
- 2:46Speaker 1: That was a no brainer. One of the best closers
- 2:48Speaker 1: in all of Major League Baseball. He'll be back with
- 2:50Speaker 1: the Emsjre Palanco has until tomorrow to figure out whether
- 2:55Speaker 1: or not his option is going to be picked up.
- 2:58Speaker 1: It won't be, but it does give the Mariners a
- 3:01Speaker 1: little time to try to work out a deal that
- 3:03Speaker 1: would extend him beyond this upcoming season potentially. And so
- 3:08Speaker 1: still we haven't heard word on what's going on with Jorge.
- 3:12Speaker 1: Perhaps he just enters into free agency and takes the
- 3:16Speaker 1: highest bid. We shall see. We'll talk more about that
- 3:18Speaker 1: later on in the show Cracking or back in action
- 3:21Speaker 1: tonight against the Sharks. Al Kiniski will join us today
- 3:23Speaker 1: at nine thirty to discuss it. Sounders and Minnesota won't
- 3:26Speaker 1: play their third and final match of their first round
- 3:29Speaker 1: MLS series until Sunday. Of course, that series is even
- 3:33Speaker 1: at a match a piece. Huskies will take on the
- 3:36Speaker 1: Wisconsin Badgers this Saturday, so after a bye, they're back
- 3:40Speaker 1: in action against the lowly that's very surprising to say,
- 3:44Speaker 1: lowly Wisconsin Badgers. Cam Cleveland will join us today at
- 3:48Speaker 1: eight o'clock. Tomorrow, the new week of the National Football
- 3:51Speaker 1: League season gets started with the Vegas Raiders and the
- 3:54Speaker 1: Denver Broncos in Colorado. And it is hump Day, so
- 3:58Speaker 1: we start to dive into the and the Cardinals more
- 4:02Speaker 1: thoroughly today, and of course the Seahawks will have Reek
- 4:06Speaker 1: Woollen and boy a Mate still on the roster. We
- 4:09Speaker 1: know that the Cardinals are going to start Jacoby Brissett
- 4:12Speaker 1: and not Kyler Murray in the game on Sunday. And
- 4:15Speaker 1: we also know that the trade deadline is over and
- 4:17Speaker 1: the Seahawks did not part with anyone. They added somebody
- 4:21Speaker 1: at the deadline in Rashid Shahed. Time to talk about
- 4:24Speaker 1: him and all of these topics with our Seahawks insider
- 4:27Speaker 1: Greg Bell. All right, well, a lot to discuss here today. Yeah,
- 4:31Speaker 1: he didn't fail us. John Schneider gave you something to
- 4:33Speaker 1: write about yesterday. Uh, he pulled off a trade for
- 4:36Speaker 1: Rashid Shahhed, And there's a there's a who question to
- 4:42Speaker 1: ask here, But I think the biggest question is why,
- 4:45Speaker 1: why that position, why that player? Uh, when you could
- 4:49Speaker 1: have gone in a lot of different directions here at
- 4:50Speaker 1: the deadline.
- 4:52Speaker 6: Schematics, they've had face. They've been facing stack boxes with
- 4:57Speaker 6: the safety down in the box against the run. We've
- 4:59Speaker 6: talked about how they run more than anybody in the league,
- 5:02Speaker 6: and so defenses are honoring that and they have done that.
- 5:05Speaker 6: That they've succeeded in the run game in that regard
- 5:07Speaker 6: is that teams play the run against them.
- 5:10Speaker 5: And their goal here is to have another.
- 5:13Speaker 6: Off take the top off a defense receiver, big play
- 5:16Speaker 6: guy when he hits for touchdowns there usually thirty forty
- 5:19Speaker 6: yards speedster guy, to send him down the field and
- 5:23Speaker 6: stretch the defense out and hopefully entice defenses to play
- 5:27Speaker 6: more too high safety coverages and get.
- 5:28Speaker 5: That extra guy out of the box so.
- 5:31Speaker 6: Then they can run more and oh, by the way,
- 5:33Speaker 6: if we can hit big plays for fifty yard touchdowns
- 5:35Speaker 6: on the way to doing that even better, that's the
- 5:39Speaker 6: thinking here. The fact that he was in Kobeak system
- 5:42Speaker 6: with the Saints last year is another factor here. The
- 5:44Speaker 6: fact that he's relatively cheap ending his two year contract
- 5:48Speaker 6: he got his exclusive rights free agent a couple of
- 5:50Speaker 6: years ago is another factor here. He made the All
- 5:53Speaker 6: Pro team first Team All Pro in twenty twenty three.
- 5:56Speaker 6: That was just one year after he was an undrafted
- 5:58Speaker 6: rookie free agent at a Weaver State and then he exploded.
- 6:01Speaker 5: He was that.
- 6:02Speaker 6: He's also done some kickoff return and punt returns. But
- 6:06Speaker 6: the scheme of the offense that the Seahawks want to
- 6:09Speaker 6: be able to run the ball against fewer people near
- 6:12Speaker 6: the line of scrimmage, and they think this wide receiver
- 6:15Speaker 6: throwing deep to him may force defenses to have to
- 6:18Speaker 6: put a second safety deep to guard against that. Between
- 6:21Speaker 6: Smith and Jigba and Horton and now a deeper threat,
- 6:25Speaker 6: we'll see if it works that way. I think that's
- 6:27Speaker 6: the thinking here, not just here's a receiver and go
- 6:30Speaker 6: get touchdowns for us, but to change how defenses have
- 6:33Speaker 6: played Seattle so far.
- 6:34Speaker 1: I think it's fascinating move. I know in training camp
- 6:36Speaker 1: we talked about who so many times, Who's going to
- 6:38Speaker 1: take the lid off of the defense? Who's the deep threat?
- 6:41Speaker 1: Well you've got one now, but at what expense? Who's
- 6:44Speaker 1: gonna lose time? Is it Horton? Is it Cooper Cup?
- 6:48Speaker 1: How are they gonna how are they going to divide
- 6:50Speaker 1: this thing up?
- 6:51Speaker 6: Well, my first reaction was, this may speak that Cooper
- 6:54Speaker 6: Cup's pretty injured and he's going to miss a couple
- 6:56Speaker 6: more games. He was dealing with a heel issue heading
- 6:59Speaker 6: in the last week, and then during practice last week
- 7:01Speaker 6: he got a hamstring injury, so he has two leg issues.
- 7:05Speaker 6: He's thirty two years old. Of course, injuries are why
- 7:07Speaker 6: the Rams gave up on him a couple of years
- 7:08Speaker 6: into his massive contract after being the Super Bowl MVP.
- 7:12Speaker 6: So we're seeing glimpses of why the Rams said, we
- 7:15Speaker 6: don't want to pay you the top dollar anymore. I'm
- 7:18Speaker 6: not saying Cup's done for the year, but this does
- 7:20Speaker 6: suggest that they believe Cup is, at least.
- 7:25Speaker 5: For now, not a viable option and perhaps might not
- 7:28Speaker 5: play the next couple games.
- 7:30Speaker 6: Now, I mean this is a half year rental. They're
- 7:33Speaker 6: going to try out Shaheed for the next nine games
- 7:36Speaker 6: to see if they want to re sign him.
- 7:38Speaker 5: And if your second receiver is injured, okay, so be it.
- 7:42Speaker 6: Horton's still a developmental project. Yes, two touchdowns against Washington. Yes,
- 7:46Speaker 6: he has a kickoff a pump return for a touchdown
- 7:48Speaker 6: against the Saints that's set a team record. But he's
- 7:50Speaker 6: also had his own injuries, including once after he got
- 7:53Speaker 6: to the Seahawks, and then of course the injury of
- 7:56Speaker 6: Colorado State knee injury that ended his season early last season.
- 8:00Speaker 6: So it's not like there were cruising at wide receiver.
- 8:04Speaker 6: Smiths and Jigba masked a lot of issues at wide receiver.
- 8:07Speaker 5: But they aren't exactly deep.
- 8:10Speaker 6: Now they can have some depth and have enough if
- 8:13Speaker 6: teams want a bracket coverage and really devote a lot
- 8:15Speaker 6: of attention to Smith and Jigba, as they will with
- 8:17Speaker 6: him leading the league in reception receiving yardage. Now they've
- 8:20Speaker 6: got a guy that can make defenses pay on doing that.
- 8:23Speaker 5: And that's also part of the thinking here.
- 8:25Speaker 1: Greg Bell is with us our Seahawks insiders, so much
- 8:27Speaker 1: to discuss with this football team here today. Of course,
- 8:30Speaker 1: coming off the NFL trading deadline. If you want to
- 8:32Speaker 1: complete coverage of the Seahawksthewstribune dot Com as that for you. Also,
- 8:37Speaker 1: you can follow him at g Bell Seattle there on x.
- 8:40Speaker 1: There was talk yesterday that John was working on the
- 8:44Speaker 1: scenes on a monster trade for perhaps a defensive player.
- 8:49Speaker 1: Did you find out any information on that?
- 8:52Speaker 5: Well, he was.
- 8:54Speaker 6: He was seeking what teams might give him for boy
- 8:58Speaker 6: Mafe and Woolen.
- 9:01Speaker 5: He would have loved if the Raiders would have.
- 9:03Speaker 6: Been u S offering Max Crosby. That obviously wasn't happening,
- 9:08Speaker 6: So he was in on fishing for anything and everything
- 9:10Speaker 6: in that regard. But came down to there's a potential,
- 9:16Speaker 6: depending on how many free agents they signed coming in
- 9:18Speaker 6: this next offseason, that they could get compensation picks for
- 9:22Speaker 6: Mafe and Woolan by letting him leave his free agents.
- 9:25Speaker 6: And in the meantime they still roll for them. Mafay
- 9:27Speaker 6: still a starting edge outside linebacker, and we've seen all
- 9:31Speaker 6: the injuries in the defensive secondary that even when they've
- 9:33Speaker 6: tried to bench Woolan, they haven't been able to because
- 9:35Speaker 6: they've had.
- 9:36Speaker 5: To play them.
- 9:37Speaker 6: So they are going to be able to keep them
- 9:40Speaker 6: engaged by not trading them, and that doesn't mean that
- 9:43Speaker 6: they won't just let them walk with the potential getting
- 9:46Speaker 6: a fourth fifth round comp pick that would probably be
- 9:50Speaker 6: roughly what they gave up to get Shaheit some of
- 9:53Speaker 6: the They right now have four draft picks. They have
- 9:57Speaker 6: one in each first three rounds next spring, and then
- 10:00Speaker 6: a sixth round pick rounds one, two, three, and six,
- 10:02Speaker 6: one in each of those.
- 10:04Speaker 5: There's no way in hell that John.
- 10:06Speaker 6: Schneyder's gonna go into that draft of four picks. Now,
- 10:09Speaker 6: the COMPIC formula is not going to matter for next year.
- 10:11Speaker 6: It's gonna matter for twenty twenty seven. The receive the
- 10:15Speaker 6: free agents that you sign and the free age that
- 10:17Speaker 6: you lose for the spring of twenty twenty six applied
- 10:19Speaker 6: for the twenty twenty seven draft. So the COMPIC formula
- 10:23Speaker 6: is still unsettled for this coming year on whether the
- 10:25Speaker 6: NFL is going to grant it. It's a it's not
- 10:27Speaker 6: even worth mentioning how compolated that system is, but suffice
- 10:31Speaker 6: to say that between trades and potential compicks, the Seahawks
- 10:35Speaker 6: are going to have more than those four picks when
- 10:37Speaker 6: the draft starts next year, and they think down the road,
- 10:40Speaker 6: it's something of the deferred payback they may get between
- 10:43Speaker 6: Mafay and Wool and something of the fourth and fifth
- 10:46Speaker 6: round picks in twenty twenty seven back that they just
- 10:48Speaker 6: gave up in twenty six. We'll see how it all
- 10:49Speaker 6: works out. But to the Seahawks thinking, in Schneider's thinking,
- 10:53Speaker 6: it's worth getting a game breaking receiver to augment Smith
- 10:57Speaker 6: and Jigba, to potentially open up the run game to
- 11:00Speaker 6: Prehent potentially re sign for a fourth and third day pick,
- 11:04Speaker 6: fourth and fifth round that we can potentially get back
- 11:07Speaker 6: the following year. That's kind of the strategical thinking on
- 11:10Speaker 6: this trade.
- 11:11Speaker 1: Yeah, being a professional athlete seems like a pretty good gig,
- 11:14Speaker 1: and I think for the most part, it's a pretty
- 11:16Speaker 1: damn good gig. But there is something about their lives
- 11:19Speaker 1: that we don't we regulars don't really have to concern
- 11:22Speaker 1: ourselves with. At any moment. We can just be told
- 11:24Speaker 1: you're going to go work for this company and live
- 11:26Speaker 1: in this city, and so, I don't know. Individually, I'm
- 11:30Speaker 1: sure some people do recognize that. Some athletes do say, hey,
- 11:34Speaker 1: it's a business and I'm prepared for anything, but there's
- 11:36Speaker 1: got to be some hurt feelings involved too, So long
- 11:39Speaker 1: way of asking, how have Mafe and Woolen handled being
- 11:43Speaker 1: involved in trade rumors for now a month.
- 11:48Speaker 6: Well, woman is very active on social media. He sees
- 11:52Speaker 6: and hears everything, so he's been pretty plugged into all this,
- 11:57Speaker 6: and he's been affected in the war and said that
- 12:00Speaker 6: he's been a good soldier and it's been easy to
- 12:03Speaker 6: keep him engaged again because he's been playing so much.
- 12:06Speaker 6: He was going to get benched in week two, but
- 12:08Speaker 6: then Witherspoon got hurt in the opener, didn't play in
- 12:10Speaker 6: Pittsburgh's Week two and then Wille had to start.
- 12:13Speaker 5: He was going to get benched together night. I mean
- 12:15Speaker 5: he did not start.
- 12:16Speaker 6: He mentioned this. He was the dimeback, the sixth of
- 12:19Speaker 6: six defensive backs who played four snaps before Job got
- 12:22Speaker 6: his concussion in the second quarter, and then he played
- 12:25Speaker 6: the rest of the game basically Wille did. So his
- 12:28Speaker 6: snapcounts are still in the ninety plus percents because even
- 12:32Speaker 6: when they're trying to sit him, something injuries have happened
- 12:34Speaker 6: to need him back, and so he's been able to
- 12:36Speaker 6: stay engaged in the game plan. And I'm on the
- 12:39Speaker 6: field and Mafe same thing. Like I said, He's remained
- 12:42Speaker 6: the starting outside linebacker opposite Derek Hall. He just has
- 12:46Speaker 6: not had any production at that spot. And I'd mentioned
- 12:50Speaker 6: yesterday I thought that he was potentially a trade candidate
- 12:53Speaker 6: because of the position he plays, in the fact he's
- 12:55Speaker 6: still on his rookie deal and his production in previous seasons.
- 13:00Speaker 6: But the fact that he's still starting doesn't mean he's
- 13:03Speaker 6: exactly sulking because he's got a game plan, he's got
- 13:06Speaker 6: a team to prepare for, and he's going to go
- 13:07Speaker 6: play sixty seventy eighty snaps on Sunday. So in that regard, yes,
- 13:11Speaker 6: But to your point, they argue, Man, they're also in
- 13:14Speaker 6: their mid twenties. Neither of them that I know of,
- 13:18Speaker 6: or married that would have to grab a whole family
- 13:20Speaker 6: and move them across the country. So that's not that
- 13:22Speaker 6: big of impact as it is for some other players.
- 13:25Speaker 6: But Yeah, especially in Wollan's case, he's hurt all of
- 13:28Speaker 6: this for sure. And he's been a chip on the
- 13:30Speaker 6: shoulder guy anyway, right because he was a former wide
- 13:32Speaker 6: receiver at Texas San Antonio that everyone didn't think should
- 13:35Speaker 6: be in the NFL as a corner pet Carroll makes
- 13:38Speaker 6: him a project and makes him a Pro Bowl guy,
- 13:39Speaker 6: as a rookie, as a fifth round pick, so he's
- 13:43Speaker 6: used to having a chip on his shoulder. He's carrying that,
- 13:45Speaker 6: I'm sure.
- 13:45Speaker 1: Craig Bell as with us SARCIAWKS Insider a segment nearly
- 13:48Speaker 1: every day here on Checking Back, brought to you by
- 13:50Speaker 1: the Delacado family of Wines. All right, so let's talk
- 13:53Speaker 1: about the Cardinals at is hump Day. They did make
- 13:56Speaker 1: a decision earlier in the week, which is a little
- 13:59Speaker 1: interesting in and of its and it's obviously very interesting
- 14:03Speaker 1: what the Cardinals are thinking behind the scenes about their
- 14:05Speaker 1: quarterback position now and in the future. But also, I mean,
- 14:10Speaker 1: these are two different types of quarterbacks to prepare for.
- 14:13Speaker 1: Are you a little surprised that Jonathan Gannon announced on
- 14:16Speaker 1: a Tuesday who's starting Sunday?
- 14:19Speaker 5: A little bit? But then I look back and I
- 14:22Speaker 5: saw what the context was. One. Gannon wants his.
- 14:25Speaker 6: Team clear coming off a short week. I mean, they
- 14:28Speaker 6: got back from Dallas early Tuesday morning, from that wind
- 14:30Speaker 6: Monday night, and now they're headed right to Seattle on Saturday.
- 14:33Speaker 6: So he wanted them to be clear on who their
- 14:35Speaker 6: quarterback is. And then after he announced Brissette as the
- 14:38Speaker 6: quarterback on Sunday against the Seahaux. He then went on
- 14:42Speaker 6: to infer that Murray is not healthy yet and it
- 14:44Speaker 6: would be a while before he's going to be able
- 14:46Speaker 6: to return. And reports have since come out of Phoenix
- 14:48Speaker 6: that Murray could miss another two or three or four
- 14:51Speaker 6: games with his injuries, so a foot injury. So that
- 14:55Speaker 6: puts some more context into why Brissette was the clear
- 14:58Speaker 6: choice so early in the week. Murray is still the
- 15:00Speaker 6: leading rusher for the Cardinals and that's a problem. And
- 15:04Speaker 6: he's missed the left well, he missed this pass game,
- 15:06Speaker 6: He's going to miss the next few. He only has
- 15:08Speaker 6: one hundred and seventy three yards rushing for the season,
- 15:11Speaker 6: and that leads the team. And if you want to
- 15:13Speaker 6: see what's wrong with Arizona, they'd start there. Arizona had
- 15:16Speaker 6: lost five in a row until that Monday night game
- 15:18Speaker 6: against the Cowboys, when Brissett led him to victory and
- 15:22Speaker 6: rather easily, twenty seven to seventeen. But before that they'd
- 15:25Speaker 6: lost a narrow one point game they should have won
- 15:28Speaker 6: at San Francisco.
- 15:29Speaker 5: They blew it at the end.
- 15:30Speaker 6: The Seahawks beat him down in the desert on the
- 15:32Speaker 6: final play after the Seiks and explicitly led him back
- 15:35Speaker 6: into a twenty to six game at the end. The
- 15:36Speaker 6: Seahorks really dominated most of that game, as we remember.
- 15:39Speaker 6: Then they lost by one point to the Titans, four
- 15:42Speaker 6: points at the Colts.
- 15:43Speaker 5: Who've been rolling until the Steelers.
- 15:45Speaker 6: Beat him the other day, and then four points they
- 15:47Speaker 6: lost to the Packers at the end. So they lost
- 15:50Speaker 6: five in a row by like all four points are fewer.
- 15:54Speaker 6: That's been really frustrating. But when I look at them
- 15:57Speaker 6: statistically and how I know Gannon wants to play. Their
- 16:01Speaker 6: run game is the biggest problem day. Mercado has become
- 16:03Speaker 6: their number one back. They've had injuries. Of course, Connor's
- 16:06Speaker 6: out for the season that was supposed to be their
- 16:08Speaker 6: number one back. Brissett needs a run game. Any quarterback does.
- 16:13Speaker 6: But they're gonna I don't know that they'll try again.
- 16:16Speaker 6: Teams are Seattle's reputation on defense starting to precede them
- 16:19Speaker 6: as the number one rush defense, and teams are not
- 16:21Speaker 6: even trying. The Commanders couldn't even try because they were
- 16:24Speaker 6: down twenty eight to nothing in the second quarter. There
- 16:26Speaker 6: that I but Arizona needs to start running the ball
- 16:29Speaker 6: to be more competitive and consistent. And start winning some
- 16:32Speaker 6: of these games they're losing by a few points. That
- 16:35Speaker 6: is job won for Seattle. Keeps the Cardinals the way
- 16:38Speaker 6: they've been, one dimensional, no run game and go get Brissett.
- 16:42Speaker 6: And I mentioned yesterday Leonard Williams and friends, they get
- 16:45Speaker 6: to rush differently Jacoby Brissett than they would have Kayler Murray.
- 16:49Speaker 6: When they prepare for Murray, they got to rush outside in.
- 16:51Speaker 6: They got to worry about contain and pass rush discipline.
- 16:54Speaker 6: They can't run straight up the field because Murray will
- 16:55Speaker 6: run outside of them. Not so with this cat is
- 17:00Speaker 6: more of a pocket guy.
- 17:01Speaker 5: And that's what Leonard.
- 17:02Speaker 6: Williams and the Marcus Lawrence and those guys love. And
- 17:05Speaker 6: when you asked me yesterday who they'd rather face, absolutely
- 17:08Speaker 6: the pass rusher. I'd rather face a guy who's going
- 17:10Speaker 6: to stay in the pocket that they can just run
- 17:12Speaker 6: up the field and go get Yeah.
- 17:14Speaker 1: All right, last minute, and you probably need some time
- 17:17Speaker 1: to dig around on this question, but I'm going to
- 17:19Speaker 1: ask it anyway. How much should sit is Shaheed going
- 17:22Speaker 1: to play on Sunday? And will he play special teams?
- 17:27Speaker 6: I expect him to be the number two receiver. My
- 17:30Speaker 6: guess is the Cup is probably not going to practice today,
- 17:33Speaker 6: and my guess this cup is the Seahawks are seeing
- 17:35Speaker 6: him is maybe not playing. We'll find out more this week,
- 17:38Speaker 6: but the trade pretends that he Heat is going to
- 17:42Speaker 6: be right in the middle of it right away. He
- 17:44Speaker 6: just played five catches the other day on nine targets
- 17:47Speaker 6: for the Saints and their loss to the Rams, so
- 17:49Speaker 6: he's right in regular stride of plan. No injury concerns,
- 17:53Speaker 6: although he did have a knee injury that ended the
- 17:55Speaker 6: season after six games last year. So special team is
- 17:58Speaker 6: a good question because Horton has been their hunt returner
- 18:01Speaker 6: and they've split between Dreek Young, who's now injured, and
- 18:03Speaker 6: others George Hallani.
- 18:05Speaker 5: As a kickoff returner. She Heat has done both and.
- 18:07Speaker 6: That is one of my questions I'll have today on
- 18:09Speaker 6: exactly what he's going to do in special teams in returns.
- 18:12Speaker 1: Oh, never a dull moment with this team, that's for sure.
- 18:14Speaker 5: No, that couldn't be.
- 18:16Speaker 6: Yeah, that makes it better, be better than being eighty.
- 18:20Speaker 1: I love it. Ever since I came to town. There's
- 18:23Speaker 1: always something something. This is this organization stirs up.
- 18:27Speaker 5: Yeah, exactly, Well, good job being solid. I thought Bucky
- 18:30Speaker 5: was not.
- 18:31Speaker 6: Coming because he was just in the morning that they
- 18:33Speaker 6: don't have Mitch Garver to kick around anymore.
- 18:35Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 18:36Speaker 1: Well, that and Oregon's being underrated and all sorts of things. Yeah,
- 18:40Speaker 1: I think, yeah, I think there are a lot of
- 18:41Speaker 1: reasons for him to concoct the tree fell on my
- 18:44Speaker 1: house story that he came up with.
- 18:49Speaker 5: Retrieved.
- 18:52Speaker 1: Thank you, Sarah. We'll talk to you tomorrow.
- 18:54Speaker 5: Not right, happy Wednesday. Thanks all right.
- 18:55Speaker 1: Twelve Man round Table tomorrow at eight o'clock with Greg
- 18:58Speaker 1: Bell and Hugh Millen and I tree did not fall
- 19:01Speaker 1: on Bucky's house, but it is the reason why he's
- 19:03Speaker 1: not with us today. He did have a storm hit
- 19:06Speaker 1: the house and he couldn't get out of his property,
- 19:09Speaker 1: so he turn into lumber buck and chop some things
- 19:14Speaker 1: away here this morning. So anyway, we've been here before, Ashley,
- 19:18Speaker 1: I know how to do this.
- 19:19Speaker 7: We got this.
- 19:20Speaker 1: Yeah, So we appreciate Greg. If you want to follow him,
- 19:22Speaker 1: you should do so. All sorts of coverage on the
- 19:24Speaker 1: trade deadline Rashid Shahed that he provided for you yesterday
- 19:28Speaker 1: at the News Tribune, and of course you can follhim
- 19:31Speaker 1: on Twitter as well at gbel Seattle with us as
- 19:34Speaker 1: a segment brought to you by the Delacado Family of Wines.
- 19:37Speaker 1: They offer a portfolio of premium wines from a selection
- 19:40Speaker 1: of the most desirable vineyards from notable wine growing regions
- 19:43Speaker 1: in California, Germany, and Chile. Oh, Santiago is just beautiful
- 19:48Speaker 1: this time of the year.
- 19:49Speaker 7: Oh yes, especially with a glass of wine.
- 19:50Speaker 1: The winery harvest grapes from orrower than six thousand acres
- 19:54Speaker 1: of the state vineyards in California's Napa, Lowdie, Monterey and
- 19:57Speaker 1: Sonoma regions to craft wines that express the diversity of
- 20:01Speaker 1: these appellations. It's good wine. Coming up next, Factor Fiction
- 20:06Speaker 1: at seven thirty five, plus the decisions the Mariners had
- 20:10Speaker 1: to make this week and why some were easy and
- 20:12Speaker 1: some not so much. Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM. Yeah,
- 20:29Speaker 1: I was thinking earlier in the show. I wish I
- 20:33Speaker 1: liked something as much as Stacy likes Tualleton.
- 20:36Speaker 4: Oh, Stacey loves Twalaton. I mean she's selling on it
- 20:39Speaker 4: or what?
- 20:39Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, I mean you want to talk about
- 20:41Speaker 1: somebody that really does love her job and like going
- 20:45Speaker 1: to the office.
- 20:47Speaker 4: That's Stacy from Tualas And she's not faking it either.
- 20:50Speaker 4: Because I went down to Tualletan last way. She's fake
- 20:54Speaker 4: and I went down there last spring and I went
- 20:57Speaker 4: and had dinner with her, and she is just that.
- 20:59Speaker 7: I mean, she is lovely.
- 21:00Speaker 4: She is a lovely person, very proud of Toilett's and Valley.
- 21:04Speaker 4: I don't blame her. The food we had was phenomenal.
- 21:08Speaker 4: The wine, which we had quite a bit of, was phenomenal.
- 21:11Speaker 1: I just kind of want to move down there and
- 21:13Speaker 1: have Stacy as a neighbor. And I just a picture
- 21:15Speaker 1: of bringing me fresh scones at once a week.
- 21:17Speaker 4: Yeah, because it's cozy season, you gotta have.
- 21:19Speaker 1: Scones, freshly browed coffee. I just think Stacy would really
- 21:24Speaker 1: take care of you, all right, coming up Factor Fiction
- 21:27Speaker 1: at seven thirty five. Also want to let you know,
- 21:31Speaker 1: speaking of show sponsors, Talalap Resort Casino, they've got a
- 21:37Speaker 1: big show coming up a little bit later on this month, Saturday,
- 21:40Speaker 1: November fifteenth. He's voted Las Vegas's best Talent and best
- 21:45Speaker 1: impersonator Terry Fader from America. Scott Talent's going to be
- 21:49Speaker 1: performing Saturday November fifteenth at talalap Resort Casino and you
- 21:53Speaker 1: can get tickets at ticket master and service fee free
- 21:56Speaker 1: at talalap and Quilcita Casino one club desks. That's a
- 22:01Speaker 1: lot to say. That's a tongue twister.
- 22:04Speaker 7: Well, imagine doing that without moving your mouth.
- 22:06Speaker 5: Yeah. That.
- 22:08Speaker 1: I don't think he's a ventriloquist.
- 22:11Speaker 6: I don't know.
- 22:11Speaker 7: That's what I thought.
- 22:12Speaker 1: Maybe maybe he's an impersonator.
- 22:14Speaker 7: Oh impersonator.
- 22:15Speaker 1: He is an I think you're right though. I think
- 22:17Speaker 1: he's an impersonator ventriloquist, which adds another.
- 22:20Speaker 4: Layer because Rich Streuss sent the thing about the video
- 22:23Speaker 4: and is a ventriloquist and the puppy puppet sings Stevie
- 22:25Speaker 4: Wonders superstition.
- 22:27Speaker 1: That's yeah, he added another layer to it. That's not
- 22:32Speaker 1: that's why it's amazing to see. Huh So check it out. Mariners. Man,
- 22:36Speaker 1: they had some easy They've got some difficult decisions to
- 22:40Speaker 1: make this off season. I think, kind of fewer than
- 22:43Speaker 1: what they normally have. But they have some difficult decisions ahead,
- 22:48Speaker 1: some things that we'll talk about a little bit later
- 22:50Speaker 1: on in the show. But they also had some easy
- 22:51Speaker 1: decisions to make coming out of the box here. Yeah,
- 22:55Speaker 1: and one of them was not to bring back Mitch
- 22:58Speaker 1: Garver and I don't want to pile on Mitch garb
- 23:00Speaker 1: but he had an option, and that was pretty clear
- 23:02Speaker 1: that they weren't going to bring him back. And there
- 23:03Speaker 1: were actually some people worried that they were going to
- 23:06Speaker 1: do that. And I just shouldn't have to talk to
- 23:08Speaker 1: you off that ledge. No, that one was obvious. They
- 23:11Speaker 1: have to give him a million dollar buyout. But no,
- 23:13Speaker 1: Mitch Garver will not be back with his team. I
- 23:15Speaker 1: mean maybe at league minimum if you just behind the scenes,
- 23:19Speaker 1: really they love him, I don't know, but no, never,
- 23:22Speaker 1: not at that salary. Never ever everpen No.
- 23:25Speaker 4: And if you thought that that was actually going to happen,
- 23:27Speaker 4: you put yourself in that position of just trying to
- 23:29Speaker 4: find something to worry about.
- 23:31Speaker 7: There's plenty of other things to worry.
- 23:32Speaker 1: About exactly, like a tree falling.
- 23:35Speaker 4: Yeah, truck and now you've got to carve out a
- 23:37Speaker 4: car sized hole so you can get.
- 23:39Speaker 1: Out so your children can go to school. That's something
- 23:41Speaker 1: to worry about. Now. Andre's Munnos also another easy decision.
- 23:46Speaker 1: He had a seven million dollar club option that they
- 23:49Speaker 1: could have picked up. I mean, he has established himself
- 23:52Speaker 1: as one of the best closers in baseball. I mean,
- 23:55Speaker 1: how upset were we that he wasn't in the game. Yeah,
- 23:58Speaker 1: and that pivotal moment, So that was a no brainer. Plus,
- 24:02Speaker 1: he's just one of the sweetest people you'll ever be around.
- 24:05Speaker 4: I just adore him and I love that he's like
- 24:07Speaker 4: so just a cat guy. I think it's the cutest
- 24:10Speaker 4: thing ever. It makes my heart happy.
- 24:13Speaker 7: I love it.
- 24:14Speaker 1: Yeah, So he'll be back next year at a pay raise,
- 24:18Speaker 1: by the way, which crunches other things. Hora Polanco is
- 24:23Speaker 1: the other decision, and they do have until tomorrow to
- 24:26Speaker 1: figure out whether or not they're going to be picking
- 24:28Speaker 1: up options. And some options are team options, and some
- 24:31Speaker 1: options are player options like Trevor Story picked up with Boston,
- 24:35Speaker 1: and some are mutual options with Hora. He has a
- 24:37Speaker 1: mutual option of six million dollars. Of course, the Mariners
- 24:41Speaker 1: want to pick up Hora Polanco what we saw this
- 24:43Speaker 1: year out of him at six million dollars, but there's
- 24:45Speaker 1: no way that Hora's agent is going to allow that
- 24:48Speaker 1: to happen. So it's not going to be picked up.
- 24:50Speaker 1: But maybe there because we haven't heard that it has
- 24:54Speaker 1: been shot down yet, because we don't have that information.
- 24:57Speaker 1: At least I don't think we have that information.
- 24:59Speaker 7: I haven't seen it.
- 25:00Speaker 1: Then maybe they are working on something. Maybe there is
- 25:04Speaker 1: a situation here where they're going to work on maybe
- 25:07Speaker 1: a two year extension and get that salary up to
- 25:09Speaker 1: about twelve thirteen million dollars a year, which is going
- 25:13Speaker 1: to be Polonko's value. And in case you're wondering if
- 25:16Speaker 1: there are no one left in the sport that actually
- 25:19Speaker 1: will sign because they just really like where they are,
- 25:23Speaker 1: Shane Bieber re signed with the Toronto Blue Jays. He
- 25:26Speaker 1: could have hit the market and got a lot more money.
- 25:28Speaker 1: Now it's not just because I love Toronto. He's also
- 25:31Speaker 1: coming off an injury. He wants to establish himself for
- 25:34Speaker 1: one more year before he truly hits the free agent market.
- 25:37Speaker 1: He wants to prove to everybody I'm still one of
- 25:39Speaker 1: the best pitchers in the world. I'm Cy Young caliber,
- 25:41Speaker 1: because that means a much bigger deal. But he did
- 25:44Speaker 1: make the decision. But while I'm trying to re establish myself,
- 25:48Speaker 1: I really like it here in Toronto. Going to the
- 25:50Speaker 1: World Series is fun, ye, and so I'm going to
- 25:54Speaker 1: re establish myself for that one year in a Blue
- 25:57Speaker 1: Jays uniform. So it does happen that you are with
- 26:00Speaker 1: where you are and you decide, well, yeah, let me
- 26:03Speaker 1: just stay here, because why do I run to rock
- 26:05Speaker 1: the boat?
- 26:06Speaker 4: No?
- 26:06Speaker 7: Absolutely, and I understand that.
- 26:07Speaker 1: Also.
- 26:07Speaker 4: I did see something from Buster only right, that's Buster
- 26:10Speaker 4: ESPN that the Mariners are expected to be among the
- 26:12Speaker 4: teams interested in trek skubleh.
- 26:16Speaker 7: Yeah, that's talk about that's something.
- 26:18Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 26:18Speaker 7: I just saw that. I was like, okay, that's interesting.
- 26:21Speaker 1: Yeah, that is that is certainly interesting. Yeah, all right,
- 26:24Speaker 1: let's play some factor fiction.
- 26:27Speaker 7: Where's that to go?
- 26:28Speaker 8: Glad you're with us, it's your shot at our weekly
- 26:30Speaker 8: thousand bucks and the ten thousand dollars grand prize. It's
- 26:35Speaker 8: Factor fiction, probably presented by Lucky Eagle Casino and hotel
- 26:40Speaker 8: where every day Feels Lucky.
- 26:42Speaker 5: Fact Or fiction is.
- 26:43Speaker 8: On Sports Radio ninety three point three kJ r FM.
- 27:03Speaker 1: All right, time to play some factor fiction here on
- 27:07Speaker 1: Chucking Buck in the morning. And it is my pick
- 27:09Speaker 1: here today. And so I just got to check to
- 27:12Speaker 1: whether or not this game's been taken. At this point,
- 27:16Speaker 1: I'm gonna go ahead and take the Thursday night game.
- 27:18Speaker 1: If it has not been selected.
- 27:19Speaker 4: Who's Thursday Night Denver and the Raiders.
- 27:23Speaker 7: Someone did take this? Denvers nine and a half.
- 27:25Speaker 1: Okay, great, Well, you know what, I'm doing a solo
- 27:30Speaker 1: show with our buck here today, so I have not
- 27:32Speaker 1: really had a dance to look at anything else. So
- 27:35Speaker 1: I'm just gonna take the over under. Then on Thursday.
- 27:38Speaker 1: It is set right now at forty two and a half,
- 27:42Speaker 1: forty two and a half the combined score between the
- 27:45Speaker 1: Broncos and the Raiders, and I'm gonna go ahead and
- 27:49Speaker 1: take the under on that. Give me the under on
- 27:52Speaker 1: the Broncos and the Raiders. Bo Nix and the Broncos
- 27:55Speaker 1: offense still isn't clicking, and that Denver defense is one
- 27:58Speaker 1: of the best in the National Football and so I'm expecting,
- 28:02Speaker 1: you know, short rest sloppy football. Hopefully there won't be
- 28:06Speaker 1: like a pick six or a fumble return right return,
- 28:09Speaker 1: or just a hosey some nonsense just to hose me. Yeah,
- 28:13Speaker 1: hopefully we just got a straight up football game. And
- 28:16Speaker 1: if we got a straight up football game, I have
- 28:18Speaker 1: a feeling it's gonna register somewhere around like twenty four
- 28:21Speaker 1: to ten. So go ahead and give me the under
- 28:24Speaker 1: forty two and a half tomorrow on the Broncos Raiders
- 28:28Speaker 1: Thursday night football matchup.
- 28:30Speaker 7: I like that one.
- 28:30Speaker 4: Yeah, I would not feel comfortable taking the over on
- 28:32Speaker 4: that one. It's Denver's too weird this year. They do
- 28:36Speaker 4: weird things in Vegas. Just got rid of their best
- 28:38Speaker 4: receiver anyway, so there's Yeah, they're not good.
- 28:41Speaker 1: Yeah, they're not good. They're not good at all. Sorry
- 28:43Speaker 1: about it, Pete. All right, if you agree with the
- 28:45Speaker 1: selection that those two teams will go under the mark
- 28:48Speaker 1: of forty two and a half, we're gonna do is
- 28:50Speaker 1: text fact to four nine four five one. If you
- 28:54Speaker 1: disagree with the pick text fiction two four nine four

- 30:08Speaker 1: thirty five with Mark and Chris. Coming up next, we
- 30:11Speaker 1: get Reckless at Breakfast on KJRH. So all of that
- 30:16Speaker 1: coming up on the radio program today, but today we
- 30:20Speaker 1: get a little Reckless at Breakfast regarding the quarterback that
- 30:23Speaker 1: we'll be facing this weekend. It is going to be
- 30:26Speaker 1: Jacoby Brissett and not Kyler Murray. And there are people
- 30:30Speaker 1: in Arizona that are reporting that do it for a
- 30:34Speaker 1: living that aren't just people with faceless cowards tweeting on
- 30:38Speaker 1: the internet. These are people that actually cover this team.
- 30:41Speaker 1: They use their names, yeah, use their real names, and
- 30:44Speaker 1: real info and if they're wrong, they could get in
- 30:46Speaker 1: trouble for it kind of stuff. And there's this feeling
- 30:50Speaker 1: that maybe Kyler Murray has started his last game with
- 30:53Speaker 1: the Arizona Cardinals. Now there are some rumors out there,
- 30:57Speaker 1: you know, suggesting that well more than Jonathan Gannon, straight
- 31:01Speaker 1: from his lips said he's just not healthy enough to go.
- 31:03Speaker 1: Kyler Murray said that last week to Laura Rutledge on
- 31:08Speaker 1: the sidelines, that the foot's just not right and I
- 31:11Speaker 1: just can't play until the foot is right. So there's
- 31:15Speaker 1: enough evidence there to suggest that this is on its face,
- 31:18Speaker 1: just Kyler Murray's not healthy enough to play right now,
- 31:21Speaker 1: and Jacoby Brissett's playing pretty well, so you might as
- 31:24Speaker 1: well go with the healthy guy that's playing pretty well.
- 31:26Speaker 1: But there's that underlying story out there that suggests that
- 31:30Speaker 1: Kyler Murray is not much of a leader, that he
- 31:34Speaker 1: obviously hasn't had the results that the Cardinals are looking for,
- 31:38Speaker 1: he hasn't built off the early success that he had
- 31:41Speaker 1: in his career and that, and then there's the other
- 31:45Speaker 1: aspect of, you know, it's been a really bad year
- 31:49Speaker 1: for small quarterbacks and maybe this you know, experimentation that
- 31:54Speaker 1: has taken place this last five years. This where Russell
- 31:58Speaker 1: Wilson kind of okee down the walls and allowed for
- 32:02Speaker 1: shorter quarterbacks to be taken, and so people started gravitating
- 32:06Speaker 1: towards I mean, we had two of them under six
- 32:08Speaker 1: feet tall that have been taken with the number one
- 32:10Speaker 1: overall pick. I mean that's not something that a lot
- 32:14Speaker 1: of people said thought we would ever see. And yet
- 32:17Speaker 1: the struggles of Murray and tongue of Iiloa and Bryce
- 32:21Speaker 1: Young and Dylan Gabriel and some others, it's not been
- 32:26Speaker 1: a good year if you're a short quarterback. Daman Williams
- 32:30Speaker 1: junior for getting the attention of NFL teams. We might
- 32:33Speaker 1: see a tick back toward going with the more large
- 32:38Speaker 1: six foot four proto type of quarterbacks. And so maybe
- 32:42Speaker 1: the Cardinals are done with the experiment, and I'm not
- 32:45Speaker 1: sure that we've seen much different. I mean, there might
- 32:48Speaker 1: be a reason why Trey McBride and Marvin Harrison showed
- 32:54Speaker 1: out on Sunday night because Jacoby Brissett's tall enough to
- 32:57Speaker 1: see over his offensive line and can go over the middle. Yeah,
- 33:01Speaker 1: it was an issue with Russ while he was here,
- 33:03Speaker 1: and even though he was fantastic while he was here,
- 33:06Speaker 1: and Kyler Murray's been fantastic at times of the Arizona Cardinals.
- 33:10Speaker 1: It could be we could be facing the end of
- 33:13Speaker 1: this trend of we don't really care how tall you
- 33:16Speaker 1: are because you make plays. And we're seeing quarterbacks today
- 33:20Speaker 1: make as many plays with their legs as they are
- 33:22Speaker 1: with their arms. We might be done with that era.
- 33:25Speaker 1: It might be coming to a crashing Holt and maybe
- 33:27Speaker 1: not completely knocked into the dust by the idea of
- 33:30Speaker 1: taking five 'ot nine inch quarterbacks with the number one
- 33:34Speaker 1: overall selection. Those days might certainly be over, and it
- 33:38Speaker 1: sounds like the Arizona Cardinals might very well be out
- 33:42Speaker 1: of the Kyler Murray business.
- 33:43Speaker 4: Yeah, and that doesn't surprise me at all, considering they
- 33:45Speaker 4: have had multiple issues with him in the past off
- 33:47Speaker 4: the field issues just you know, not being mature enough.
- 33:51Speaker 4: It doesn't seem like to handle the reality that he
- 33:54Speaker 4: is supposed to be the leader of the team he
- 33:56Speaker 4: is on and he doesn't seem capable of that. And
- 33:59Speaker 4: then as far as the injury goes, I mean, it
- 34:01Speaker 4: makes sense he's you know, if your foot's hurt, you're
- 34:03Speaker 4: not going to be a scrambling quarterback, and then if
- 34:05Speaker 4: you're short, you're not going to be much good just
- 34:07Speaker 4: hanging out there in the pocket. So I don't see
- 34:11Speaker 4: really a reason why they would keep him.
- 34:13Speaker 1: Well, I mean, there is the element of trying to
- 34:17Speaker 1: find a partner. I mean, we're seeing now in the
- 34:20Speaker 1: National Football League that we rather cut bait than hold
- 34:23Speaker 1: on to something that we don't think is working. And
- 34:27Speaker 1: I like that. I think that's progress. I think that's
- 34:29Speaker 1: a step in the right direction. Why would you just
- 34:32Speaker 1: if you know it's not working, you just take like
- 34:35Speaker 1: Denver did, just take the financial hit, try to find
- 34:38Speaker 1: your next quarterback, try to live with lower cap space.
- 34:43Speaker 1: And look what the Broncos have done since they got
- 34:46Speaker 1: rid of Russell Wilson. They've just gotten better every single year.
- 34:49Speaker 1: And now they're sitting there with seven and two and
- 34:51Speaker 1: looks like they had the quarterback of their future. I mean,
- 34:54Speaker 1: and the Arizona Cardinals started this. Kyler Murray started this.
- 34:57Speaker 1: I mean it was Josh Rosen. We spent a time
- 35:00Speaker 1: ten pick. Once upon a time, you would have played
- 35:02Speaker 1: that out to the bloody end. Yeah, and then they're like, no,
- 35:06Speaker 1: we got the number one pick in the draft because
- 35:08Speaker 1: that Rosen guy. Partly he's not very good, so let's
- 35:11Speaker 1: not blow that. Let's get a quarterback at number one.
- 35:14Speaker 1: Then they took Kyler Murray in that situation, But they
- 35:18Speaker 1: are now facing it on the other end, and I
- 35:21Speaker 1: do believe they'll punt, and I think they'll try to
- 35:23Speaker 1: find a buyer, and I don't think it's an impossible
- 35:25Speaker 1: situation to find a buyer this offseason. The quarterback class
- 35:30Speaker 1: is not bad, but I don't think that it's earth
- 35:33Speaker 1: changing this upcoming NFL draft. A lot of the guys
- 35:37Speaker 1: that were expected to go high Club Nix and Nuss
- 35:40Speaker 1: Meyers and others have had bad seasons. And not everybody's
- 35:43Speaker 1: gonna end up getting the franchise quarterback of their eye
- 35:47Speaker 1: in this upcoming NFL draft. And yet there will be
- 35:50Speaker 1: several teams that are going to need quarterbacks this offseason.
- 35:53Speaker 1: It wouldn't surprise me if a Cleveland or a New
- 35:56Speaker 1: Orleans or a New York tried to roll the dice
- 35:59Speaker 1: on Kyle Murray. And because there is enough good quarterback
- 36:03Speaker 1: play there that if he gets to a different franchise,
- 36:06Speaker 1: into a different system, maybe that coach coordinator, quarterback coach
- 36:11Speaker 1: can tap into something and still save Kyler Murray's career.
- 36:15Speaker 1: But it's feeling very much to me like his time
- 36:17Speaker 1: in Arizona is going to be over at the end
- 36:20Speaker 1: of this year, and it might very well be over
- 36:22Speaker 1: right now. He might have started his last game as
- 36:25Speaker 1: Cardinal quarterback.
- 36:26Speaker 4: Yeah, and I that wouldn't surprise me if that is
- 36:28Speaker 4: the case. And I would think too, if he ends
- 36:30Speaker 4: up on another team to be a backup, they're not
- 36:32Speaker 4: relying on him as much to be a leader in
- 36:34Speaker 4: that at that point, right, So you're just looking at
- 36:35Speaker 4: the skill set that he has versus like, well, can
- 36:38Speaker 4: he because you know at that point you're just there
- 36:40Speaker 4: to be a backup.
- 36:41Speaker 1: Well, you're not taking him as a backup. If you're
- 36:42Speaker 1: going to spend the kind of money that it's going
- 36:44Speaker 1: to cost to get him, you're not taking him as
- 36:45Speaker 1: a backup. I'm saying there's a chance he could still
- 36:47Speaker 1: be a starter for a team in the National Football
- 36:49Speaker 1: League this offseason. Yeah, I mean it's like a I mean,
- 36:53Speaker 1: they have to be their hit, take eat all the money,
- 36:56Speaker 1: and then maybe he becomes a backup. But I'm saying
- 36:58Speaker 1: there might be a team out there that's like, hey,
- 37:01Speaker 1: we're desperate enough of the quarterback situation that it's not
- 37:04Speaker 1: a long term deal. Let's take on Kyler Murray and
- 37:07Speaker 1: see if we can salvage his career. All right, Cam
