Chuck in the Morning 9/21 H4: More Monday Morning Quarterback with Hugh Millen & One Last Thing · Chuck in the Morning

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Thank you.
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: All right, 9 o'clock hour here on this Monday. We
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: are Monday morning quarterbacking with Hugh Millen. Finally, a Sunday
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: game that means something to be recapped here on this
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: Monday morning with our QB1. Seahawks win 31-7 over the
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: Arizona Cardinals. Cardinals kind of dominated the first quarter by
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: halftime after a fourth and goal stop by the Cardinals defensively.
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: We went into the locker rooms tied at 7, but
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: Mike McDonald and the gang pulled away in the second half,
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: dominating Arizona 24-0 the rest of the way for a
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: 31-7 win and a 2-0 start, despite the fact that
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: our starting quarterback here in Seattle has really not been
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: available yet. in either of the games. And so, uh, you,
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: a lot, a lot still left to break down. I mean,
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: we've already done an hour, but we hardly got into, uh,
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: drew locks, uh, performance yesterday. And, um, you said, uh,
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: he made himself a little bit of money, maybe, uh,
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: here the last couple of weeks.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: I certainly would think so. Um, he's, he is, uh,
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: top of pro football focus quarterback rankings. I, I discovered
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: that about six seconds before I went on the air
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: this morning. Um, just as a note. And so, uh, yeah,
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: I think he's just playing, uh, like way beyond what
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: you would expect a backup. And he's only had one
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: pass that could have been intercepted. That was, I think
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: his second or third pass against the Patriots over on
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: the corner, out on the sideline. Other than that, he's,
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: he's protected the ball and he, he has navigated the pocket.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: He has stood in there with, uh, The rush barreling
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: down on him. I mean, I did not think Charles
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: Cross had a good game yesterday. But just a few
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: of the things, just the arm talent. He has a
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: play action. If you remember that play he hit to
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: Rashid Shaheed. So he turns his back. He's under center.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: He turns his back on the defense and all kinds
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: of hell is breaking loose. Guys are coming from everywhere.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: It's a fire zone and it's a two deep three under.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: I mean, there's only five guys. So you would say
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: that there's got to be holes, but that's not what
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: the defense presented before he turned his back on it.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: So he's got to put his back foot on the ground.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: Now there's six guys coming at him. It's squeezing, and
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: he just puts his back foot on the ground, no hitch,
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: and he just throws it in there and gets 23 yards.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: How about the escape that he had? And he throws
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: to Shahid and drops on the third and 12th?
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: You know, Cross got beat on that.
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: I think the, um, the right guard who on that play,
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: I think it.
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: Was, it was Stevens. Yeah, it was Stevens.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: Um, They took L's, and so he had to get
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: out of there. Unbelievable play, and you don't even get
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: a completion on that. How about he has a naked route?
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: The ball's on the right hash, so they're doing a flood.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: There's a lot of congestion. The zone, everything, it's a
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: box of code hangers over into the short side of
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: the field. JSN's coming from the backside, but he's pocketing
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: it into this little tiny window amongst a lot of guys,
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: and with Locke getting chased... He threw it at exactly
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: the 40-yard line. It was caught on exactly the 20-yard line.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: So it was exactly 20 yards in the air. The
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: reason I highlight that, that's what a major league pitcher,
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: 60 feet from the pitcher's mound to home plate. And
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: here you got Locke running away from it and just
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: with his arm just thrown across in this zone coverage
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: and beautiful job by Jason knowing exactly where to settle.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: that is such high level football. I mean, if you're
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: the Cardinals, you're looking to go, how do we, I mean,
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: how did he get that ball into that mailbox? Um, the, uh,
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: an Okie route that he had on third and two
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: from the far right hash. Um, he's got, again, the,
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: the pockets bearing on barreling down on him and JSN
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: gets all the way to the, uh, to the two
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: yard line. And, and yet, Locke pulls him back to
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: the five-yard line to get the protection. And on that play,
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: that's a five-step out route. So it's usually a six-step,
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: but the way the Seahawks do their inside foot back
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: instead of inside foot forward, it ends up being a
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: route on that one with the five steps where he's
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: kind of late. You got the quarterback going five steps
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: and a hitch. But the receiver's already out of the break,
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: and so you've got to, to preserve the completion, you've
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: got to pull him back towards the line of scrimmage.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: He did that, right? So even when he was late
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: because of the design of the play, he was able
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: to salvage it from the far hash. That's just, you know,
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: big-time arm talent. I mean, I've just turned the page
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: on the nose, but do you have any thoughts on those?
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: I mean, you know, the type of stuff, the high
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: degree of difficulty is what I'm trying to, to get
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: across on so many of these throws.
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: Well, I don't know. Here's what I am thinking. As
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: much as I do believe Sam Darnold, we're better with
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: Sam Darnold as the quarterback. I wake up this morning,
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: not in a rush to get him back. Like, my
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: feeling is like, hey, let's make sure he's 100% because
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: what I've seen from Drew Locke, I don't think we're
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: going to have too much trouble at the quarterback position
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: winning the next couple of games. So that's kind of
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: my feeling this morning, Hugh. I agree with you.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: You said it better than me. I think everything you
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: just said is how I would feel. I mean, I still,
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: I'm not wavering off of Sam Darnold.
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: No.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: And, you know, a couple of games doesn't move you,
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: but I think Drew Locke, he's really in a great
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: place right now. You know, the maturity level that he
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: talks about, you know, it just feels like he's more
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: mature and in his life. And then you're seeing mature
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: decisions on the field where he's throwing the ball down
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: the field when there's opportunities. And this guy has guts, man.
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: I mean, Julian Love said, we know that Drew's a
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: gunslinger and that could be a positive or a negative
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: through the years, at least in my experience. it kind
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: of depends on the context. When I hear somebody described
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: as a gunslinger, you know, are you using that as
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: a pejorative or are you using that as a compliment?
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: Because sometimes gunslingers can be, well, he's got a big arm,
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: but he doesn't have the discernment as to when to
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: try and stab it into tight windows. And then when
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: it's not there. So gunslinger now, now I don't know
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: what was in Julian Love's head, but I was standing,
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: ate from him and, and knowing Julian love a little
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: bit like we all do. Uh, he's a great dude
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: in the expression on his face. Obviously he was saying, Hey,
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: this guy can, what he, I interpreted saying is that
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: he can make all these throws. He can, he can
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: zing it in there. I mean, how about the, the,
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: the throw that he had to a Royal on play
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: action where it's a pistol, he's got a turned right-handed
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: quarterback turned to his left fake, then wheel his body around.
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: and then with really no hop to his step, just
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: turn and whip the ball. There's defenders converging from the inside.
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: There's a defender trailing from the outside. I mean, there's
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: only kind of one spot you can put that ball.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: He puts it into a spot the size of a
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: salad plate, and you're just.
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: Going, whoa, this dude is feeling it.
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: Mm-hmm.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: And, uh, and there's more on the, on these sheets, but, but, uh,
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: that would be the part that I would say is, is,
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: is a guy that is, Hey, you give me a
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: little bit of window. I'm going to rip it right
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: in there.
• 8:30
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: But yet, you know, we're sitting there, we're two, two
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: games into this thing. He hasn't, he hasn't turned the
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: ball over.
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: Um, If I could bring up one negative from this week,
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: and everything we've discussed to this point has been overly positive,
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: but the Rashid Shaheed drop, he also had a fumble
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: on a kick return. And we are also, Hugh, watching
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: Ken Walker look like the best running back on the
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: planet two weeks in a row. I know that you
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: were suspicious about Rashid Shaheed. I think that's a safe
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: word to use heading into the offseason. And I know
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: you're a big fan of Ken Walker. As we sit
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: here and evaluate Shahid, I mean, it just looks like
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: you're going to get a lot better for us to
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: have justified giving you $ 17 million and letting Ken Walker
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: walk out the door.
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: Well, I would say finite cornot opus, which translates... That's
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: what I was thinking.
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: The end crowns the work, right? So I think that
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: if our Latin forebears were trying to instruct us, some
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: of our Fallacious thinking is like, hey, let's not rush
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: to judgment. But right now, it's natural.
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: The Seahawks will.
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: Tell you that they let Kenneth Walker go because they
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: had to make all the signings. They had to sign JSN. Well,
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: we're totally down for that. They had to sign Witherspoon.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: You damn right. Sign him. Leonard Williams, sure, he's getting
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: a little old, but love that. Didn't they do Charles
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: Cross this offseason?
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: I think it was in-season last year. Okay, so we
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: get that there's important pieces that had to be signed.
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: So everybody that I just mentioned is like, hey, that's
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: a slam dunk. The question, and you just framed it perfectly,
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: the question throughout these next couple of years is going
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: to be Kenneth Walker, versus Rashid Shaheed.
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: That's it. Because Rashid Shaheed has paid 17 million and
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: you pass on Kenneth Walker for 14 million. And you just,
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: you just, just say, Hey, Hey, forget schemes or what
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: have you just tell you who makes more of an
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: impact on the game. And, and so, you know, the
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: Seahawks are two and oh, so it's okay. But I am,
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: I'm right now I've got, I got texts with my
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: college buddies. Some of them played for the Huskies and
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: played in the NFL, but, but you know, one of
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: my texts is, is right now Rasheed Shaheed hasn't done
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: anything the entire season that a camp wide receiver couldn't do.
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: And that's not even really exaggerating. Who's the kid at
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: 87 that came on? Monterey Foster. Montorey Foster. Montorey Foster.
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: I haven't seen it. I haven't seen Shaheed do anything.
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: And in the King game either. I think he's, he's
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: called fair catches when he shouldn't. I think he's let
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: ball bounces when he shouldn't. Um, And Montori Foster could
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: have caught that ball that I described, that little skid route,
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: and got the 23 yards as well. I haven't seen
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: him do anything that a camp wide receiver couldn't do.
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: So it's got to pick up. It's got to pick up.
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: And his instincts, like on that wide receiver screen, oh,
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: my God, the tunnel screen, there's four guys. And if
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: he had just been a few feet to the inside,
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: he had all these blockers, but he stayed a little
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: bit wider. And so the defender, the corner on the outside,
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: he could slip in to the outside of all those
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: blockers and make a tackle for like a four-yard gain.
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: Where if he was just a few feet in, you know,
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: that might've gone for 15 with his speed, you know,
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: you know, make one guy kind of semi miss and you,
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: you could house it. And so it's like all the,
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: what do we call, what'd I say? JSN's high fits,
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: you know, we're watching a maestro with all the nuance
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: in the micro detail of perfection of how to be
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: a receiver in number 11. And then it's, it's kind
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: of ironic that 11 times two is 22. And yet,
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: JSN is twice the wide receiver. Let me take it back.
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: He's more like four times the receiver. So he should
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: be 88. If our boy Rashid Shaheed is 22, then
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: Jackson Smith should be wearing 88 in my opinion. So
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: I don't know. He seems like a really good guy.
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: The Lord put him on the planet to run. He
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: didn't bless him with receiver instincts anywhere near to the
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: level of jsn all you have to do is just
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: say jsn um and and we can't expect them all
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: to be that way right you couldn't expect john taylor
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: to be jerry rice to bring up your not everybody's
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: going to be great and i'm not asking for greatness
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: but we've we've got nothing we've got nothing after two
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: weeks so we've got to pick that up.
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: I know I want to get back to Spoon and
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: some other defensive stuff. We'll save that for the next segment.
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: With the remaining minute and a half, if I'm going
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: to pick at something else, you did get stopped at
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: the goal line there at the end of the half
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: and forced you to go into the halftime tied at
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: seven with a not very good football team. Would you
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: have done anything differently there, or was it the smart
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: move to just kind of keep hammering away there at
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: the goal line and.
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: Try to get that yard? I thought it got too
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: conservative there. There was three straight runs once you got
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: a first and goal at the six. To send in
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: all the linemen and they got all this, hey, number
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: 50 is eligible, number 50. The official, I think, told
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: us three different guys were eligible. So now you look
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: and you say, okay, that's the type of thing you do.
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: All fourth and ones are not created, Eagle Chuck. It
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: could be fourth and a millimeter or it could be
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: fourth and four and a half feet. You know, it
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: has to be touching the two-yard line hash, and the
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: ball is 11 inches. Basically, you're talking about actually almost
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: five feet. And so the difference between four– I thought
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: it was at least four feet. You're not going to
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: get that in the NFL. To me, it's like, hey,
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: if you're going to run it, spread it out more or,
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: you know, be willing to throw on first down, whatever.
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: Drew Locke has earned his– his keeping that regard. And
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: then in third quarter, they, they ran it again, first
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: and second down. And then they finally threw it on
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: third down. Oh, what do you know? He got a touchdown.
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: So I think that they, they were too conservative down
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: in the, uh, In the red area there.
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: Very good, very good. All right, Monday morning quarterback rolls on.
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: A lot more to discuss. I had to cut off
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: Hugh earlier when we were getting ready to talk about
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: Devin Witherspoon. He's so excited. So I know he's got
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: some stuff on.
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: I was so revved up, man.
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: He's got some stuff on 21, and we've got a
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: lot of other ground to cover as well with our
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: QB1 here on this Monday morning quarterback session, Sports Radio
• 15:30

• 15:34
  Speaker 4: Now back to the Monday Morning Quarterback with Chuck in
• 15:36
  Speaker 4: the Morning and Hugh Millen. Brought to you by Muckleshoot
• 15:39
  Speaker 4: Bingo and by the Evergreen Council on Problem Gambling on
• 15:43
  Speaker 4: Sports Radio 93.3 KJR FM.
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: Well, for your sake, I hope you took my advice.
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: Headed out to Tulalip Resort Casino at some point over
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: the weekend and introduced yourself to a brand new tradition,
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: either Saturday's college football, the DraftKings sportsbook, or perhaps it's
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: NFL Sunday. Either way, I mean, it's a winner of
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: an idea, a banger of an idea. If you didn't
• 16:14

• 16:39
  Speaker 2: Monday morning quarterback session continues. One more segment here with
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: Hugh Millen, our chief analyst, QB1. as we discuss yesterday's
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: 31-7 win over the Arizona Cardinals. The Seahawks now 2-0
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: on the season. And I know there's a lot more
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: to discuss from the defensive side of the ball in
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: that victory yesterday, Hugh. And so you were a little
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: fired up talking about Spoon, No. 21, making some plays yesterday.
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: What did you see?
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: Well, I just think Witherspoon... Man, I feel like I've
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: watched a lot of football through the years. And there
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: are very few, very, very few, if any, players that
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: just jump off the page about a guy who just
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: loves football, burning competitor. You assume they're all burning competitors, right?
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: But his competitiveness is just off the chart. And they
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: play him in so many positions. He's an inside defender.
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: He's a wide defender. He'll be a deep defender. He
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: has a lot of responsibilities. We highlighted there's two really
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: special players in the secondary right now, Love and him.
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: And then the other guys are, I don't feel like
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: they're special. They just don't make mistakes. And, you know,
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: they just do their job. And because of Mike McDonald,
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: But there is a force multiplier factor to Devin Witherspoon
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: that I am absolutely dead-ass certain I'd die on a
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: beast on this point. He lifts everybody, the competitiveness. Now,
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: he's making millions, and he deserves to make millions, and
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: he was the highest-paid corner there for a minute before Gonzalez.
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: But he strikes me as a guy, if NFL players
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: made $ 75, 000 a year, you'd throw on the tape, and
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: he'd look exactly the same. Yeah. Um, I'm making a
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: lot of, uh, inferences, but it's just his style of play. And, uh,
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: I mean, he, he, you know, they play him at
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: will linebacker. They, they, they, they tried to run somebody in, uh, uh,
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: in motion to fill up in the gap and the
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: B to get, and, and he just ciphers it so
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: fast that like, like the, the guy, this is a
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: tight end and he just whiffs. Um, and, uh, actually
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: I think it was a big receiver, but in any event, um,
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: he just fires his gun and he, and he causes
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: a three yard loss. And you're like, wait a minute,
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: that dude doesn't play will linebacker. Like, like like his
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: gap responsibility that he's not used to doing that, but
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: he just, he's such a love.
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: It's the love of football to him. I don't know.
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: I thought Jalen Carter with the number fifth pick was
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: the pick that Seattle should have taken. Um, he went,
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: he ended up going nine to the Eagles, right?
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: And he's the highest paid defensive tackle.
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah.
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: Um, but I got to say it. If I had
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: a chance to go back and redo it, I wouldn't
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: do it. There's no way I can imagine the Seattle
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: Seahawks without Devin Witherspoon.
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: I just absolutely love the way that guy competes, and
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: there's a damn good reason he's the teacher's pet. You
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: talked about in the summer. He's Mike McDonald's favorite player
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: on the Seahawks. There's plenty of signs to– He loves
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: people from Illinois. That's the real big factor.
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: Well, you know, we can't be perfect in all aspects. But, yeah,
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: I just think that the groundy cover. See, Seattle plays
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: a cover six. That's their number one coverage. And they're
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: always two or three, top three in the league in that.
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: Where it's a two-hive safety structure, so you don't have
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: either safety down to help. You're rolling one corner to
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: one side. It could be the boundary. It could be
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: the field. And then if you're in a quarterback meeting
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: room and we're talking and we're saying, let's say in college,
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: the University of Washington, we're saying, all right, freshman quarterbacks,
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: so that you can understand defensive identification. Let's draw up
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: cover six. Where are they strong? Okay, they're strong to
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: the flat, to the side that they roll, what have you.
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: And we could go through the strengths and weaknesses. And
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: then you say to a freshman, what's the one area
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: that they're weak at? And you say the strong flat.
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: To the strong side of the formation or to the field,
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: that strong flat player because he's got to cover so
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: much ground. So when you see cover six, just know
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: that they are going to be vulnerable in the strong flat.
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: Here's the problem for pro quarterbacks going against the Seahawks.
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: Devin Witherspoon is in the strong flat. And he has
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: the turbo button. and he doesn't miss tackles and he will,
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: he'll know the plays going there before you, you even
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: have made your decision and he'll already be one step ahead.
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: And then once, and once he gets going, he doesn't
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: need to break down. He's such a, he's such an
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: instinctive tackler that he, he, he doesn't need to come
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: to balance. He just comes in and chops you down
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: at full speed. Like, like he, he, he is such
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: a full force multiplier because of how he makes everybody
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: else around the team better, both in the, in, in
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: the manner in how he leads and competes, but in
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: the manner how he takes a weak defense and he neutralizes,
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: he erases the weakness of the coverage.
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I love him too.
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: And it was happening yesterday.
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: This is not like in theory. This is on the
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: tape from yesterday.
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: Right. Yeah. I love him too, but he might not
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: be my favorite defender. Number three was on the field
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: for a little bit yesterday. What did you see from
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: him in the little time that he was out there?
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: And what's he going to add to this team by
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: next week?
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: They are fixing to unleash the Eamon Worry as the
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: edge pass rusher. And he did some of that yesterday.
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: And he hadn't done it but a couple times. They
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: took Trey McBride. This is on a four-man rush. And
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: they took Trey McBride, and they had him blocking Eamon
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: Worre as a rusher.
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: Think about that.
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: And by the way, the Seahawks, they had three guys
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: rushing to that side. So the Cardinals sent their center
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: to the right towards the Eamon Worre side. So they
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: had three for three. The center could take the defensive tackle,
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: and then the tackle could take the end, and then
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: him as the linebacker coming off the edge. They had
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: three for three, and yet they chose to keep in
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: McBride so that they could double-team with the right tackle
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: and with Trey McBride on Eamon Worry, the pass rusher. Oh,
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: by the way, Dante Fowler, he showed some twitch, so
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: that's going to come to life, too. there'll be a
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: day where Dante Fowler is going to get a sack
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: or two in a big moment. And that speed rush
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: that he's coming off. So, but back to Eamon Worry,
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: he played off ball linebacker and he diagnosed a play
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: and stuff it. So there was a physicality to him.
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: He didn't really make any impact in coverage. He had
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: a ball completed in front of him to McBride where
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: he was kind of, kind of twists around in space
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: a little bit there. So I think he's just kicking
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: off some rust. But they're showing this pass rush element
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: to him at a 220-pound guy with that kind of
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: length and that kind of speed.
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: So, you know, buckle up.
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: The Eamon Worry ride is just beginning.
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the defense looked so sluggish yesterday, you know, so
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: they could really use the help.
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: Look, it's so fun to just watch this team. They're
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: so well coached. They cover for each other. I mean,
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: you got out there. I mean, it's like it doesn't
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: matter who they put out. If they put them on
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: the field, they've already passed the Mike McDonald litmus test.
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: He's smart enough to play for me. He's fundamental enough
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: to play for me. And if he's deficient in an area,
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: I'll cover his ass. I'll make sure that I don't
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: expose his weaknesses. I mean, it's just beautiful. It's absolutely beautiful.
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: 30 seconds, one minute on this, but Anders and I
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: were talking off the air, like Buda Baker, I have
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: a feeling Mike McDonald would love a Buda Baker type
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: on his defense.
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: Well, I saw myself, this happens with the Cardinals. It
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: only happens with the Cardinals. I asked myself, what the,
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: what freaking coverage is that? And I, I have to
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: run it back like three or four times because I
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: swear they just, they, they will run zone cover and
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: they'll just give him free license to go wherever the
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: hell he wants. Just go sniff out the ball. I
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: did that in youth football. Once I had a kid
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: where I, I said, all right, I'm going to draw
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: a 10 man defense where I've got every gap covered
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: and I've, I've got every zone covered in pass as
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: if there's only 10 men allowed. And then my best player,
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: I'm going to say, you have no gap. You have
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: no zone. You have no man. You go wherever the
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: hell you want to go. Wherever you think the ball
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: is going, you just go. You have no responsibility other
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: than just find the ball. And I did that with youth.
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: It was freaking great. And I feel like the Cardinals
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: do that with Buda Baker.
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: Because there's stuff.
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: Like, what the hell is that? Mike McDonald would love
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: Buda Baker. He's a burning competitor, even for that Morbin franchise.
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: And he's smart. He's a great tackler. He throws his
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: body around like, oh, man. Um, you know, and, and
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: a really great guy. So yeah, Buda Baker, the pride,
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: we got some four to five and some two Oh
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: six pride for, for Buda Baker, for sure. It's well-earned
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: and well-deserved and it's fun to watch him, uh, lose
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: games to the Seahawks, but compete his ass off.
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: Uh, well, and our last, uh, question I have for
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: you here this morning, then, um, UW feeling better about
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: the team. What do you think?
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: Well, in prior media guides up to about 2012, Washington would,
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: they would kind of justifiably they would bark about the
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: fact that they had never played an FCS team. And
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: at the time they said there were one of four
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: teams in all of division one football has never played
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: an FCS team in history. And now that distinction only
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: belongs to USC. So I will, tip my hat to
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: USC that they've preserved that Washington let that go in
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: about 2012. I think it was against Eastern. So my point,
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: that was not that long ago. That was in 1972.
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: That was 2012. So where I'm getting at is when
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: you play a body bag game against an FCS opponent,
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: you lose the right. You forfeit the right to, to
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: claim any type of, of, uh, of, progress or success
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: in the game. The only thing that could happen is
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: that your standing is diminished. You cannot enhance your standing,
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: in my opinion, when you're playing FCS. So to me,
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: it's just like an inter-squad scrimmage, as these games usually are. Now,
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: the one thing, they may have derived some confidence in
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: us because it was nice to see the offense do
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: some things. But in terms of any kind of real compliments,
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: particularly in light of last year, DeMond Williams and the
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: offense together, whether you want to say the quarterback or
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: the offense together, they had the biggest gap between how
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: they played against top 25 teams and how they played
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: against everybody else. They had the largest gap in all
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: of power forward football. You would expect everybody's going to
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: drop a little bit against top 25, right? But Washington
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: dropped the most, and that's objectively provable. And so now
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: to have a good game against an FCS opponent when
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: barely more than a decade ago you were saying we'll
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: never play those kind of games.
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I'm not going to drive any positivity out of it.
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: You just say, well, you avoided any negativity. And that's,
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: to me, all that you're entitled to if you play
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: an FCS game.
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: I don't know, though, Hugh. I think Oregon came off
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: really classy over the weekend.
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: I don't know about that. Maybe there is something to
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: be taken.
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: Well, I don't know all the details. I know Dante
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: Moore does. not throw a pass in the second half,
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: but I also know that they score 29 seconds to
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: go when they could have taken a knee.
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: I think so. Yes.
• 29:49
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah. 84, nothing in the final.
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: Well, here's the one way I would say that I,
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: I would be okay with, um, 84 to nothing. Um, you,
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: If you're playing your second and then third and then
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: your fourth string and you're running the ball, again, running
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: the ball, other than if you've got a third string
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: quarterback and you do a little ball possession, it's third
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: and five and we want to keep the possession, so
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: we'll throw a seven-yard out route, a ball possession completion.
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: But if you're throwing the ball deep down the field,
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: and certainly if you're not taking a knee with 29
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: seconds to go, Um, but, but if there, if fourth
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: stringers are running around in and scoring touchdowns, then I
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: think most coaches would be okay with, you know, even
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: if you're on the losing end of that, I mean,
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: Portland state, I guess they only got 500 grand out
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: of this thing. You know, some of these body bag
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: games are closer to 2 million, but I don't know
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: what the price I'm just going off word of mouth, but,
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: but at any event, we know that, that that was
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: a paycheck game. And, you know, even their head coach
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: would say, hey, if you got your third or fourth
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: stringers and you're just running the ball and you keep scoring,
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to hold that against you. Now, if
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: you're throwing the ball deep and, you know, and you're
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: not taking a knee at the end, yeah, yeah. that
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: that's an ugly score.
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: Yep. Yep. All right, man. Awesome stuff today. Thank you
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: very much. Appreciate it.
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: So good to be with you. Fun to watch this

  Speaker 2: with one last thing. We go around the room. Could
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: be on anything. I mean, you got some Seahawks stuff
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: left over. You can do that. But it really isn't
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: up to the individual what you want to bring up
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: to close out the show. What do you got, Andrew?
• 32:41
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, last night, there was a lot of
• 32:43
  Speaker 5: impressive parts about the Kansas City Chiefs win. And we
• 32:47
  Speaker 5: all know Travis Kelsey's greatness. But the fact that he
• 32:50
  Speaker 5: broke the record for most... Yards after the catch in
• 32:55
  Speaker 5: NFL history.
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 32:56
  Speaker 5: As a tight end. A guy you don't normally think
• 33:00
  Speaker 5: of in that aspect of the game, but he now
• 33:02
  Speaker 5: has the most. He just passed Marshall Falk last night
• 33:04
  Speaker 5: in the game. And just.
• 33:07
  Speaker 5: That guy, he's special. He's coming to the end of
• 33:10
  Speaker 5: his career. He looked good, though. He's looked good in
• 33:12
  Speaker 5: these first couple games.
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: Much different.
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: He looks back.
• 33:14
  Speaker 5: Very much back.
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: I think he got some of them expensive Hollywood steroid
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: things that are floating around from his life. That's what
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: I think happened.
• 33:22
  Speaker 5: Either that or he got in wedding shape. Like, yeah,
• 33:26
  Speaker 5: for his wedding. And then you just like, you know what?
• 33:27
  Speaker 5: That's perfect. Football season's coming along right after that. So, no,
• 33:31
  Speaker 5: I mean, like, and you look at the list, Travis Kelsey,
• 33:33
  Speaker 5: Marshall Falk, Larry centers, Terrell Owens, Steve Smith and Larry Fitzgerald.
• 33:36
  Speaker 5: It's all running backs or wide receivers. And that would
• 33:38
  Speaker 5: make sense because it's like screens. Short passes, then you
• 33:41
  Speaker 5: run after the catch. But a tight end being at
• 33:44
  Speaker 5: the top, like a guy that you throw touchdowns to
• 33:47
  Speaker 5: or short-yarded situations, it's just another tick in the greatness
• 33:52
  Speaker 5: and probably the best tight end of all time.
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, that's a little scary. I don't know
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: if Ken Walker is the ingredient that unleashed it or
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: if those two took a different approach in the offseason
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: or Andy Reid did some soul-searching, but the Chiefs look back.
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: Mahomes look back. Even before the injury, he didn't look
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: that good. Right.
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: It's true.
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: And Kelsey looked like he did.
• 34:13
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: And he looked like 2022 Travis Kelsey. Oh, yeah. And
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: then Walker looked sensational. So, I don't know. Maybe the
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: Chiefs are back.
• 34:22
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: You know, that long, arduous year of not being great.
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: So terrible.
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: Poor Chiefs fans. They really did suffer. Travis, what's your
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: one last thing?
• 34:32
  Speaker 6: I just wanted to recognize everyone that worked so hard
• 34:35
  Speaker 6: at the station over the weekend. We had four continuous
• 34:40
  Speaker 6: broadcasts going at the same time. I was running the Kraken.
• 34:45
  Speaker 6: Anders was running Husky Post Game.
• 34:46
  Speaker 5: With my son.
• 34:47
  Speaker 3: Oh, wow.
• 34:47
  Speaker 5: In studio.
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: Oh, jeez.
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: I got to meet Austin.
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: Good.
• 34:51
  Speaker 6: He hammed it up for me. And then we had
• 34:54
  Speaker 6: Craig doing Thunderbirds. and Jackson Feltz doing SounderStream, all at
• 35:01
  Speaker 6: the same time, and Terry Ryan behind the scenes making
• 35:03
  Speaker 6: it all happen.
• 35:04
  Speaker 5: Concurrently, yeah.
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: Busy time of the year.
• 35:06
  Speaker 5: That's Travis pumping his own horn saying, yeah, I didn't
• 35:08
  Speaker 5: get a day off. I worked on Saturday and Sunday,
• 35:10
  Speaker 5: and then I'm back in here for the morning show
• 35:12
  Speaker 5: on Monday.
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: I basically live here, yeah. Well, good thing we pay
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: you all that money. I don't even know what to
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: do with all the money you pay me.
• 35:23
  Speaker 5: It's a problem to have.
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and that applies to everyone here. Yeah, that's true.
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: I'm going to close out with this. I didn't watch
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: Ohio State versus Kent State over the weekend, but I'm
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: telling you, these are some of the best names that
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: have ever been on a college football roster. Kent State
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: has a guy named DeRealist Clark. Stop.
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: No, it's true. Look at the box score.
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: His parents clearly went out of the way, like, Derealist.
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: Derealist is his name. You are Derealist. You're the Derealist
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: son I've ever had. And then there's another guy named
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: Ethan Thanthanavong. Which sounds made up. Ethan Thanthanavong. And this guy, who,
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: by the way, at best, is getting the bronze medal
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: for strangest name on the team, Hunter Hopperton. It's true.
• 36:35
  Speaker 5: I'm looking at these names right now.
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: I mean, I don't have the entire roster in front
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: of me, but I know, from what I know about
• 36:43
  Speaker 2: Kent State football, that's going to finish third on the
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: most unusual names I've ever seen list. Good for you,
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: Kent State. That's like the Key and Peele skit.
• 36:55
  Speaker 5: That's what I was telling Chuck.
• 36:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 36:58
  Speaker 5: It's the funniest skits I've ever seen.
• 37:00

• 37:08
  Speaker 2: got McCringleberry. Let me check the roster real quick. Nope.
• 37:13
