- 3:45Speaker 2: And then this Sunday, the Seahawks will be in action
- 3:47Speaker 2: against the Arizona Cardinals. And to preview it, we welcome
- 3:51Speaker 2: our Seahawks insider. All right, So Seahawks Cardinals, the matchup
- 3:56Speaker 2: here on Sunday, And of course the x afectation now
- 4:01Speaker 2: is that the Seattle Seahawks are going to murder the
- 4:04Speaker 2: Arizona Cardinals. They're just flying way too high. Right now,
- 4:09Speaker 2: what's been the mood like and covering the team this week?
- 4:12Speaker 2: How are they handling? Suddenly the entire world talking about
- 4:16Speaker 2: how great.
- 4:17Speaker 3: They are.
- 4:19Speaker 4: Well professionally, I mean, this is This is not high
- 4:22Speaker 4: school football.
- 4:23Speaker 3: These guys have been around for a while.
- 4:25Speaker 4: And the Marcus Lawrence, for instance, has played for the
- 4:27Speaker 4: Dallas Cowboys for eleven years and used to spotlight and attention.
- 4:32Speaker 4: And Sam Donald's been eight years and buns of different
- 4:36Speaker 4: teams and some ups, a lot of downs. They've been
- 4:40Speaker 4: around the block a little bit, a lot of these guys.
- 4:42Speaker 4: So yeah, I mean, every week, new challenge. Now it's
- 4:48Speaker 4: Jakobe Brissett and a different kind of offense than they're used to.
- 4:50Speaker 4: When Arizona comes in every week is itself in the NFL.
- 4:55Speaker 4: We know that, And well it looks like Seattle should roll.
- 5:00Speaker 4: It doesn't always work out that way in the league.
- 5:01Speaker 4: And there's pretty thin margins and you turn them all over,
- 5:05Speaker 4: you have penalties, mistakes, you lose, and that's pretty much
- 5:09Speaker 4: against anybody. So yeah, it's just another week and they
- 5:13Speaker 4: don't get into Oh where the Cats me out because
- 5:16Speaker 4: we want on national television and nothing's really changed.
- 5:19Speaker 3: In that regard, right.
- 5:20Speaker 5: Well, I mean, I think it would be cool if
- 5:22Speaker 5: they did play a high school.
- 5:23Speaker 3: Team this week.
- 5:24Speaker 2: I'd like to watch that.
- 5:25Speaker 3: It wouldn't be fair.
- 5:26Speaker 2: I think that wouldn't be fair.
- 5:29Speaker 6: You know what, everyone's going to face their challenges.
- 5:31Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't think the kids need that or deserve that.
- 5:34Speaker 5: I think at times Arizona Monday like it. That's that's true,
- 5:39Speaker 5: just some of today's kids. I think. I'm thinking that
- 5:43Speaker 5: if the defense just goes out there and does what
- 5:46Speaker 5: they've done majority of the season, that that they they're
- 5:50Speaker 5: gonna end up being able to figure find a way
- 5:52Speaker 5: to pull this game out. I think kind of the
- 5:55Speaker 5: key get after Jacoby Brissett and make him uncomfortable in
- 5:58Speaker 5: the pocket, and then maybe you force him into something
- 6:02Speaker 5: that's even better than just a punt. So how are
- 6:05Speaker 5: we feeling just about the way in which that front
- 6:07Speaker 5: seven is getting after the quarterback.
- 6:10Speaker 4: Yeah, that's been the strength of the team all season,
- 6:13Speaker 4: and that's really been the surprise buckis because Mike McDonald
- 6:17Speaker 4: he acknowledged it last week. They're playing a lot differently
- 6:19Speaker 4: than he planned to play this season on defense. He's
- 6:22Speaker 4: had to because of the personnel, and he hasn't had
- 6:24Speaker 4: a full still since the first game, hasn't had a
- 6:27Speaker 4: full secondary of starters because of injuries, and so he
- 6:32Speaker 4: hasn't blitzed as much because it's been Blitzer guys Nick
- 6:35Speaker 4: even Worry and Devin Witherspoon haven't played together all that much.
- 6:39Speaker 4: Last week in Washington was the first time since the
- 6:41Speaker 4: first five players of the season they were on the
- 6:43Speaker 4: field at the same time.
- 6:45Speaker 3: So he found, without.
- 6:47Speaker 4: Blitzing early in the season, wait a minute, Leonard Williams.
- 6:50Speaker 3: And the Marcus Lawrence and.
- 6:53Speaker 4: The leader in sacks Byron Murphy and Jared Reed. Those
- 6:57Speaker 4: guys are getting after it and getting to affect the
- 7:00Speaker 4: quarterback without me having to give up any of the
- 7:04Speaker 4: seven in coverage behind them. And once he started getting
- 7:08Speaker 4: away with that, McDonald's realizing that we will win in
- 7:12Speaker 4: coverage if we can get pressure with four and have
- 7:15Speaker 4: seven covering four or five eligible receivers at most. That's
- 7:20Speaker 4: that's those numbers are in the Seahawks favor and that's
- 7:23Speaker 4: really in a nutshell how the defense has changed in
- 7:27Speaker 4: mid season. They've taken away teams runs, which created third
- 7:31Speaker 4: down and longs. And when it's third and long, the
- 7:33Speaker 4: past rush doesn't have to worry about reading run keys
- 7:35Speaker 4: and they can get right after the quarterback and the
- 7:38Speaker 4: front four have benefited.
- 7:40Speaker 3: Mightily from that.
- 7:42Speaker 4: Great in the NFL, if you have seven in coverage,
- 7:45Speaker 4: you're gonna win.
- 7:46Speaker 3: That's just really what it comes down to.
- 7:47Speaker 2: Greg Bell with It's our Seahawks inside. If you want
- 7:49Speaker 2: to follow him, do so at Gmail Seattle and of
- 7:51Speaker 2: course Thenewstribune dot com for complete Seahawks coverage. Speaking of
- 7:55Speaker 2: that front seven, what's the health status of Ernest Jones
- 7:58Speaker 2: right now?
- 8:00Speaker 4: Well, the part of practice we could watch yesterday, he
- 8:03Speaker 4: was out there doing his own stretching and had a
- 8:06Speaker 4: brace on his right knee. He's on the field, and
- 8:10Speaker 4: the way it sounded right after the Washington game in
- 8:13Speaker 4: DC the other night, I didn't think he'd be on
- 8:15Speaker 4: the field this week. So he is on the field.
- 8:16Speaker 4: He was a limited participant in practice, which is more
- 8:19Speaker 4: than I expected.
- 8:20Speaker 3: Him to be on Wednesday and Thursday.
- 8:22Speaker 7: So if I had the guess, this is questionable today,
- 8:29Speaker 7: they probably are hesitant to think this, but they may
- 8:34Speaker 7: be able to get away with not playing them, rest
- 8:37Speaker 7: them and have him play against the Rams next week
- 8:39Speaker 7: and that all important game for first place. They don't
- 8:43Speaker 7: think that way, of course, but if there's any if
- 8:46Speaker 7: he's gonna make it worse by playing, if that's what
- 8:49Speaker 7: the medical staff decides, then he won't play. But I
- 8:52Speaker 7: was surprised he's been on the field this week.
- 8:54Speaker 5: I saw that Tory Horton was on the injury thing
- 8:58Speaker 5: as well as Cooper Cup obviously, so what does that's
- 9:01Speaker 5: what's the deal with his health? And what does that
- 9:03Speaker 5: say about Rashid Shaheed possibly being thrust right into action?
- 9:08Speaker 4: Well, good timing. And when I asked Wednesday McDonald if
- 9:12Speaker 4: she was gonna play, so I would hope so.
- 9:14Speaker 3: Well, now they.
- 9:15Speaker 4: Almost need him to. It's new that Tory Horton's injury
- 9:18Speaker 4: he's got. They listed him with a groin in the
- 9:20Speaker 4: sin yesterday. He was a full participant in practice on
- 9:22Speaker 4: Wednesday and then did not practice yesterday. We'll see if
- 9:27Speaker 4: they were just resting him or if that's a new injury,
- 9:29Speaker 4: that a new concern. Again, I say this every time
- 9:33Speaker 4: about these injuries. We go from before practice on Wednesday
- 9:37Speaker 4: till after practice on Friday without talking to the loan
- 9:40Speaker 4: authority on injuries and give you information on it, the
- 9:42Speaker 4: head coach. And so that's three practices that happened without
- 9:46Speaker 4: you having any in your injury information. And that's when
- 9:50Speaker 4: these new things crop up, like last week when Cup
- 9:53Speaker 4: and Bobo both got injured during practices. During last week,
- 9:56Speaker 4: you don't find that out the details on it until
- 9:59Speaker 4: for afternoon, so I'll know more than one thirty or so.
- 10:04Speaker 4: But that was a new concern. Kupp was on the
- 10:07Speaker 4: field yesterday. I didn't expect him to be. He looked
- 10:10Speaker 4: like he was doing a limited amount of stuff and
- 10:14Speaker 4: didn't look full go, and he was in fact this
- 10:17Speaker 4: as a limited participant. But it did surprise me he
- 10:20Speaker 4: was on the field.
- 10:21Speaker 2: I've heard nothing but great things about Rashid sha he'd
- 10:24Speaker 2: the person and the teammate since this trade went down.
- 10:27Speaker 2: What kind of first impression has he made around the place?
- 10:31Speaker 4: Really at pervescent guy. I mean, he was beaming, smiling, walked.
- 10:36Speaker 3: In and said, Hi, how are you guys doing? That
- 10:37Speaker 3: was his first words to us.
- 10:40Speaker 4: Very outgoing for a guy who was an undrafted rookie
- 10:44Speaker 4: free agent just three years ago. He seemed very self
- 10:47Speaker 4: assured and first impression, very favorable, very personable, and the
- 10:55Speaker 4: team of course embracing him and somebody that they think
- 10:58Speaker 4: could really really helped, and they put him right in.
- 11:02Speaker 4: I mean he's been getting the crash course, some special
- 11:04Speaker 4: teams with Jay Harbor in the return game. He's been
- 11:06Speaker 4: talking to Frisman Jackson, the wide receiver coach. He's been
- 11:09Speaker 4: thrilling quite a bit with Sam Darnold and with Clint
- 11:12Speaker 4: Kubiak in the offense. Of course, he knows Kubiak's offense
- 11:15Speaker 4: from having run it in New Orleans last year, so
- 11:19Speaker 4: he's not starting from scratch and that's probably gonna help
- 11:22Speaker 4: this week get him on the field sooner than maybe
- 11:24Speaker 4: he would have had he come from way out some
- 11:26Speaker 4: import Is.
- 11:28Speaker 5: This a week possibly that they could get the run
- 11:31Speaker 5: game clicking a little bit? I mean, it's you know,
- 11:33Speaker 5: I guess there's a lot of things to like about
- 11:36Speaker 5: what the team's been doing as of late, and yet
- 11:38Speaker 5: that's the one thing that maybe is not clicking. And
- 11:41Speaker 5: so is this a weekend that they could get that going.
- 11:45Speaker 4: Well, we keep saying that, and that's something that has
- 11:48Speaker 4: to get going.
- 11:50Speaker 3: We'll see.
- 11:51Speaker 4: They're going to keep trying. But it just comes down today,
- 11:55Speaker 4: need to move guys, and whether they're facing stack boxes,
- 11:59Speaker 4: which we talked about is part of the reason Shieita
- 12:01Speaker 4: is here.
- 12:03Speaker 3: No matter what, the league knows.
- 12:05Speaker 4: That Seattle's going to run, they bring an extra man
- 12:07Speaker 4: in the box to deny the run, and Seattle said, well, okay,
- 12:11Speaker 4: we'll throw over the top of that. And that's very
- 12:14Speaker 4: simple terms. That's kind of been the offense for Seattle
- 12:17Speaker 4: and it's worked. It's not how they were designed to
- 12:20Speaker 4: be offensively, but Donald has been so efficient, Jackson Smith
- 12:24Speaker 4: and Jigba has been so good at getting open and
- 12:26Speaker 4: catching passes that it has worked that way. The run
- 12:32Speaker 4: game hasn't succeeded in yards, but it has succeeded in
- 12:35Speaker 4: getting its reputation out there that Seattle's going to run
- 12:38Speaker 4: the ball, and let's stop the run. So while they're
- 12:42Speaker 4: not running the ball effectively, they are running it enough
- 12:45Speaker 4: a lot to affect defenses. And that was the first
- 12:48Speaker 4: thing Mike McDonald wanted to do. He wanted to dictate
- 12:51Speaker 4: to defenses how to play. He has done that.
- 12:55Speaker 3: Now.
- 12:55Speaker 4: The second step to me, the evolution of this season
- 13:00Speaker 4: and for this team to win the division is to
- 13:02Speaker 4: be able to run the ball better against the Rams
- 13:05Speaker 4: and forty nine ers to win the division. I don't
- 13:07Speaker 4: think they can be one dimensional and beat those two teams.
- 13:10Speaker 4: If they can't beat those two teams again, they're not
- 13:12Speaker 4: going to win the division. And that to me is
- 13:15Speaker 4: the challenge. Can they run it as much as they
- 13:18Speaker 4: have yet better beginning next week against the Rams. It
- 13:23Speaker 4: would help them, of course to do it against Arizona.
- 13:26Speaker 4: Arizona tacks defensively. They don't just stand there and let
- 13:29Speaker 4: you block them. They usually come at you and they
- 13:31Speaker 4: blitz and they change the front. So they want of
- 13:33Speaker 4: those multiple teams. It's long overdue that they have a
- 13:39Speaker 4: running game like they want to have.
- 13:41Speaker 3: We'll see if it happens. On Sunday.
- 13:43Speaker 2: Greg mellis with US SEAHAWKX in Cider of course, Thenewstribune
- 13:46Speaker 2: dot com, where he's got a brand new article up
- 13:48Speaker 2: about Sam Darnold, And I'll just go back to the
- 13:51Speaker 2: original kind of question that I asked you, and Uh, yeah,
- 13:55Speaker 2: I get it that there are professionals and they take
- 13:59Speaker 2: with in greater stride successes and failures than what fans
- 14:04Speaker 2: do and what talk show hosts do. That said, based
- 14:08Speaker 2: off your article about Sam Darnold, is there any part
- 14:11Speaker 2: of him that truly is surprised that he's having this
- 14:14Speaker 2: much success halfway through his first year with the Seahawks
- 14:19Speaker 2: and it's.
- 14:20Speaker 4: Hard of hearts? Maybe again, when he got signed, it
- 14:25Speaker 4: wasn't hey, we need you to throw for three hundred
- 14:27Speaker 4: and twenty five yards and four touchdowns and go seventeen
- 14:32Speaker 4: for seventeen in the first half. That was the opposite
- 14:35Speaker 4: of that. It was we need you to play complimentary
- 14:38Speaker 4: with our run, game.
- 14:39Speaker 3: Play action passes off of it. We're gonna run.
- 14:41Speaker 4: The ball, We're gonna pound pound pound and then throw
- 14:44Speaker 4: over the top. And that has not been the case.
- 14:47Speaker 4: So how he's done it has to surprise him.
- 14:51Speaker 3: Now.
- 14:51Speaker 4: The success he had last year in Minnesota told him
- 14:55Speaker 4: in the league that this is not I mean out
- 14:58Speaker 4: of It's not a meteor strike that he's done this.
- 15:00Speaker 4: Now he has done it over eight years.
- 15:02Speaker 3: This is due.
- 15:03Speaker 4: These last two seasons were done like the first six.
- 15:07Speaker 4: But it's not quite out as no out of nowhere
- 15:10Speaker 4: as last year was. It's more out of nowhere to
- 15:12Speaker 4: us because we didn't see him. He wasn't with the Seahawks.
- 15:15Speaker 4: But for Donnov himself, this is kind of what happened
- 15:19Speaker 4: last year. He forty three hundred yards, thirty five touchdows
- 15:23Speaker 4: and won fourteen and three. That was out of nowhere.
- 15:27Speaker 3: This is more like last year.
- 15:28Speaker 4: And if you remember when they signed him, our questions were,
- 15:32Speaker 4: which Sam Donald, We're gonna get it.
- 15:34Speaker 3: We're gonna get the Jets the.
- 15:35Speaker 4: Panthers the forty nine ers version, or we're gonna get
- 15:38Speaker 4: the Vikings version. And so far we've gotten the Vikings
- 15:41Speaker 4: version without the Vikings cast the receivers, without a run
- 15:44Speaker 4: game the Vikings had, and without as good of an
- 15:47Speaker 4: offensive line. Now having we keep trashing the offensive line,
- 15:51Speaker 4: the one thing the line has done is protected him.
- 15:54Speaker 4: And part of what I wrote a the neewstributing dot
- 15:57Speaker 4: com for the story is the change in mechanics that
- 16:01Speaker 4: Donald went through that we talked about on the round
- 16:03Speaker 4: table yesterday has helped that pass protect and getting the
- 16:07Speaker 4: ball out quicker, for instance, and having a better throwing
- 16:10Speaker 4: motion with more accurate throws. He acknowledged that, yes, he
- 16:14Speaker 4: absolutely changed his throwing motion after Uscush talked about he
- 16:18Speaker 4: was throwing from almost his hip and he said, yeah,
- 16:21Speaker 4: I needed to change that. He said it was to
- 16:22Speaker 4: help his arm and shoulder health. First of all, you
- 16:25Speaker 4: didn't want to rip out his shoulder throwing cock eye
- 16:29Speaker 4: and winding up and the other thing he said was interesting,
- 16:33Speaker 4: And I talked to Andrew Jenoko, the quarterbacks coach, after
- 16:35Speaker 4: practice yesterday about this. He said to Jenoko, when they
- 16:38Speaker 4: installed plays this spring and summer, installed as he installed
- 16:43Speaker 4: each play, he told he drilled the quarterbacks on the
- 16:46Speaker 4: eye the deception that Hugh talked about yesterday. So when
- 16:49Speaker 4: they put in play acts, they said, okay, on this
- 16:51Speaker 4: play act, you're going to start with your eyes here
- 16:54Speaker 4: to the left, but we're going to throw to the
- 16:56Speaker 4: right for instance. And pretty much all the plays in
- 16:59Speaker 4: the place book have a place for the quarterback's eyes
- 17:02Speaker 4: to go to deceive the defense. And Darnold explained he'd
- 17:05Speaker 4: never been coached that way before. He was just kind
- 17:08Speaker 4: of left up to him a quarterback, to do the
- 17:11Speaker 4: eye trick on his own. Well, now they drill it
- 17:13Speaker 4: into these quarterbacks in Seattle for each of the plays.
- 17:16Speaker 4: And Kubiak said, you actually you can tell that he's
- 17:20Speaker 4: really taken to that and he's really been well trained
- 17:22Speaker 4: in that. Jinoko said, I said, where'd you learn that?
- 17:25Speaker 4: Because he's thirty seven, he's still pretty much young around
- 17:28Speaker 4: the league. And he said, he coached under North Turner
- 17:33Speaker 4: and Kevin O'Connell with the Vikings. He was at the
- 17:35Speaker 4: Vikings for three couple of years, and those guys taught
- 17:39Speaker 4: him the eye deception, the quarterback play, and that's why
- 17:43Speaker 4: when Hugh said he's so good at doing that. He's
- 17:47Speaker 4: been coached uniquely and that skill it's really helped him
- 17:51Speaker 4: this season.
- 17:52Speaker 2: All right, we will close with this what we always
- 17:54Speaker 2: close with. So Sunday one o'clock start against the Arizona Cardinals.
- 17:59Speaker 2: Interesting matchup, divisional matchup. What's the game gonna look like?
- 18:03Speaker 2: What's gonna be the key to victory?
- 18:05Speaker 3: Well, I'm with Bucky.
- 18:07Speaker 4: I think that the defense leads a day here. I
- 18:09Speaker 4: think this is a team, as Hughes said yesterday, it's
- 18:12Speaker 4: about time they start beating back up quarterbacks that come
- 18:15Speaker 4: in here to Seattle and play them. And I think
- 18:17Speaker 4: the defense is rolling. Who even if Ernest Jones doesn't play,
- 18:20Speaker 4: it looks like he might. I think the defense is
- 18:23Speaker 4: rolling enough to dictate this game. I do think that
- 18:27Speaker 4: Jacoby Brissett as well as he played in Dallas, although
- 18:30Speaker 4: any team it looks like can beat Dallas defensively right now,
- 18:34Speaker 4: I think Brissette playing plays right into the Seahawks strength
- 18:37Speaker 4: on defense. The Seahawks have more of a problem with
- 18:41Speaker 4: their pass rush. When it's a Kyler Murray type escaping quarterback.
- 18:44Speaker 4: A pocket passer is trouble going against Seattle right now,
- 18:49Speaker 4: and I think Brissette's going to have more trouble than
- 18:51Speaker 4: a lot of backups of coming in here to Seattle.
- 18:54Speaker 4: I think the defense dominates the game. That's the way
- 18:56Speaker 4: it looks like to me. Defense travels, Defense plays when
- 18:59Speaker 4: it's defense plays when your offense is stumbling and can't
- 19:02Speaker 4: run and turn them all over. Defense wins. And McDonald's
- 19:06Speaker 4: got them humming on defense right now.
- 19:07Speaker 2: All right, excellent stuff, Thank you very much, all week long.
- 19:10Speaker 2: Excellent stuff from Greg Bell, Trade Deadline, all sorts of
- 19:15Speaker 2: stuff that we've covered with Greg here this week. So

- 21:05Speaker 2: on the roundtable yesterday and he will join us today
- 21:08Speaker 2: at nine o'clock for x's and o's drop this little
- 21:12Speaker 2: nugget about the little nugget that won't be starting for
- 21:16Speaker 2: the Arizona Cardinals this Sunday, Kyler Murray.
- 21:18Speaker 8: I think Kyler Murray is the worst leader I've ever
- 21:20Speaker 8: seen at the quarterback position in over fifty years of
- 21:23Speaker 8: watching football. I think he can't handle. He throw you know,
- 21:29Speaker 8: he throws players under the bus. He threw his coach
- 21:32Speaker 8: under the bus. I think his body language is among
- 21:35Speaker 8: the worst I've ever the worst i've ever seen.
- 21:38Speaker 2: I think there's some leadership problems. I'll tell you what.
- 21:41Speaker 8: When you saw Trey McBride, the Cardinals great tight end,
- 21:46Speaker 8: interviewed on Monday night after that game, Scott Van Pelt said, look,
- 21:50Speaker 8: I'm not asking a load of question, just what does
- 21:52Speaker 8: Jacoby Brissette bring to you? Well, the response that Trey
- 21:57Speaker 8: McBride had where he he was raving about Jacoby Brissett,
- 22:03Speaker 8: there's messages and he's talking about how he works and
- 22:06Speaker 8: he watches tape. Well, every quarterback should work and watch tape. Well,
- 22:09Speaker 8: that's been an issue for Kylerie Murray.
- 22:13Speaker 2: Hugh Millen earlier this week on Kyler Murray worst he's
- 22:17Speaker 2: ever seen studied a quarterback or two. I think there's
- 22:22Speaker 2: a I think there's a very good chance Kyler Murray
- 22:25Speaker 2: has played his last game for the Arizona Cardinals. And
- 22:28Speaker 2: I think part of it is per our discussion a
- 22:30Speaker 2: little bit earlier with our no cliche keys to victory.
- 22:33Speaker 2: I think the Arizona Cardinals really believe in Jonathan Gannon
- 22:36Speaker 2: as a head coach. He's a young man that they
- 22:39Speaker 2: gave a shot to very early in his process, his
- 22:43Speaker 2: coaching process, and since that time, he sort of created
- 22:47Speaker 2: a different type of identity, and I'm not sure Kyler
- 22:50Speaker 2: Murray kind of fits with that identity that Jonathan Gannon
- 22:54Speaker 2: wants going forward. I think Arizona's married to Jonathan Gannon
- 22:58Speaker 2: going forward, and I don't think Jonathan and I think
- 23:01Speaker 2: Jonathan Gannon wants a divorce from Kyler Murray. I think
- 23:05Speaker 2: he wants an offense that runs the way his defense
- 23:08Speaker 2: runs going forward. And so I don't blame any general
- 23:11Speaker 2: manager or head coach. I mean, sometimes these jobs are fleeting.
- 23:15Speaker 2: Sometimes you are on thin ice the moment you walk
- 23:17Speaker 2: through a door, not a lot of head coaches get
- 23:19Speaker 2: to adopt and inherit a team that's super Bowl ready.
- 23:23Speaker 2: Very few do. And here's Jonathan Gannon in the fairly
- 23:27Speaker 2: new the even newer general manager at Arizona saying, you
- 23:31Speaker 2: at least got to give us a chance to name
- 23:33Speaker 2: our quarterback, to play with, a quarterback that we've chosen.
- 23:37Speaker 2: I mean, right now, we're opting for Jacoby Brissett, a
- 23:40Speaker 2: career backup, and we think we're better off with Brissett
- 23:44Speaker 2: than the guy you gave me. So at least give
- 23:46Speaker 2: me the chance this offseason before you fire me, to
- 23:49Speaker 2: get a quarterback in here that I've chosen.
- 23:52Speaker 5: Well, I would imagine that any coach, right, I mean
- 23:55Speaker 5: you're like, okay, I'll take this on.
- 23:57Speaker 3: Right.
- 23:57Speaker 5: It's not like he didn't know who was his quarter
- 24:00Speaker 5: back when he took the job. And yet you go, okay,
- 24:03Speaker 5: I can fix this, or if he listens to me,
- 24:06Speaker 5: I can get this guy playing up to his potential. Well,
- 24:10Speaker 5: I mean, Hugh Millen has studied a quarterback or two,
- 24:12Speaker 5: Like you said, I mean, if he can see it,
- 24:14Speaker 5: and I think there is something that you can see
- 24:18Speaker 5: about how somebody acts their body language says things to you,
- 24:22Speaker 5: and I think Kyler Murray might have some of the
- 24:24Speaker 5: worst body language out there. If that's the case, and
- 24:27Speaker 5: therefore you're not very much of a leader. People don't
- 24:29Speaker 5: want to follow you because you pout when things aren't
- 24:32Speaker 5: going your way, and you tend to do things that
- 24:35Speaker 5: lead us down a path that's not going the way
- 24:38Speaker 5: we all want to go. Then I can see how
- 24:41Speaker 5: as a head coach you'd be like, Okay, I'm kind
- 24:43Speaker 5: of over this experiment. To me, having a guy like
- 24:46Speaker 5: Kyler Murray is a double edged sword. I mean there's
- 24:48Speaker 5: things people around here watched it with Russell Wilson for years.
- 24:51Speaker 5: He would do things that not all quarterbacks could do,
- 24:55Speaker 5: and then at times that would also backfire and you'd
- 24:58Speaker 5: be second twenty five. To me, I can see where
- 25:01Speaker 5: a quarterback or a coach would be like, I would
- 25:03Speaker 5: really like to try something different.
- 25:05Speaker 2: Well, remember when the Cardinals drafted Kyler Murray, they had
- 25:08Speaker 2: just hired Cliff Kingsbury, and there was a personal connection.
- 25:10Speaker 2: And of course when you hire a head coach, you
- 25:12Speaker 2: think it's going to be great. Kingsbury's going to be
- 25:14Speaker 2: is a young man. He's going to be our coach
- 25:16Speaker 2: for the next ten to fifteen years, and so you're
- 25:18Speaker 2: thinking you're drafting a quarterback based on who you're marrying
- 25:22Speaker 2: to the new head coach that you're sure is going
- 25:24Speaker 2: to be there for a decade. And then all of
- 25:26Speaker 2: a sudden, that experiment didn't work and the guy that
- 25:28Speaker 2: you drafted specifically for a head coach and the head
- 25:31Speaker 2: coach isn't there anymore, and so they went in a
- 25:35Speaker 2: different direction. And I don't know if it was a
- 25:38Speaker 2: direction that was right for Kyler Murray and vice versa,
- 25:41Speaker 2: but I think there's a very good chance he's played
- 25:44Speaker 2: his last game for the Cardinals as a starter. Let's
- 25:47Speaker 2: play some factor fiction.
- 25:49Speaker 5: Where's that to go? Glad you're with us?
- 25:50Speaker 9: It's your shot at our weekly thousand bucks and the
- 25:54Speaker 9: ten thousand dollars grand prize. It's Factor Fiction, probably presented
- 26:00Speaker 9: by Lucky Eagle Casino and hotel where every Day Feels Lucky.
- 26:04Speaker 5: Fact Or Fiction is.
- 26:05Speaker 9: On Sports Radio ninety three point three kJ R FM.
- 26:10Speaker 2: All right, Bucky's pick here on a Friday, our last
- 26:13Speaker 2: pick of the week. We are coming off a victory.
- 26:17Speaker 2: You picked Monday night, Ashley, How did we We didn't?
- 26:19Speaker 2: I didn't mean I didn't mean that that's right.
- 26:21Speaker 6: No, I had the Arizona at Dallas over they went under.
- 26:24Speaker 2: I knew we picked the games so that it already
- 26:26Speaker 2: had results this week. So those two one and one,
- 26:30Speaker 2: all right, We're gonna go four and one this week, Bucky,
- 26:32Speaker 2: what do you got here?
- 26:34Speaker 5: I'm gonna go back to one of my old trustees.
- 26:37Speaker 5: I think the New York Jets basically just sold off
- 26:40Speaker 5: two of their best players on their defense, and and
- 26:43Speaker 5: therefore that I don't think they're gonna be feeling all
- 26:46Speaker 5: that great. The bad thing is that they're playing the
- 26:47Speaker 5: Cleveland Browns. But I think the Cleveland Browns can cover
- 26:50Speaker 5: a point and a half, even though they have to
- 26:52Speaker 5: go to New York. It's a horrible game Cleveland versus
- 26:56Speaker 5: New York Jets. But I do genuinely think the Jets.
- 27:00Speaker 5: The Browns have a really good defense. So I don't
- 27:02Speaker 5: think the Jets are scoring a whole bunch. The Jets
- 27:04Speaker 5: had a good defense, or they played Okay, they had
- 27:09Speaker 5: a defense. I think, yes, yes, they have two less
- 27:13Speaker 5: they have too fewer. Now two of their best ones
- 27:16Speaker 5: are out, and so I think that the Cleveland Browns
- 27:18Speaker 5: do just enough to squeak past the Jets. So I'm
- 27:20Speaker 5: going to take the Cleveland Browns minus one and a
- 27:23Speaker 5: half at New York.
- 27:25Speaker 2: I mean, it's crazy to pick the Cleveland Browns, period,
- 27:28Speaker 2: but I think you're right as a road favorite. I mean,
- 27:32Speaker 2: it's gonna be hard for me to believe. I mean,
- 27:33Speaker 2: unless Aaron Glenn's got some head coaching matchup. He's magic
- 27:36Speaker 2: and he's going to rally this troop around what they
- 27:39Speaker 2: did this week. But pretty much the entire locker rooms
- 27:42Speaker 2: feeling like you just sold away two of our best players.
- 27:45Speaker 2: What chances are you're giving us to win? And then
- 27:47Speaker 2: the other half of the locker rooms like, why didn't
- 27:49Speaker 2: you trade me? Yeah? I wanted to be traded. Why
- 27:52Speaker 2: wasn't I traded? Now I'm stuck here with this nonsense
- 27:56Speaker 2: when you're clearly rebuilding, actually maybe even starting over. So
- 28:00Speaker 2: I think that's a terrific pick. All right, So the
- 28:02Speaker 2: Cleveland Browns they're giving or getting a point, Nino giving
- 28:05Speaker 2: a point and a half, Okay, minus one and a
- 28:07Speaker 2: half at New York again, Jets, how about that? The
- 28:10Speaker 2: Browns on the road giving points to a team. If
- 28:13Speaker 2: you agree with Bucket text factor four nine four five one.
- 28:17Speaker 2: If you disagree with them text fiction two four nine
- 28:20Speaker 2: four five one. The Browns have to win by two
- 28:22Speaker 2: points or more in order for Bucky to be right.
- 28:25Speaker 2: If you're right, we'll enter your name into a drawing
- 28:27Speaker 2: for one thousand dollars in cash. We will hold that
- 28:29Speaker 2: drawing after today's Factor Fiction play. And so every time
- 28:34Speaker 2: you play, we're going to enter your name. And you're right, well,
- 28:37Speaker 2: you enter your name into the drawing for that thousand
- 28:39Speaker 2: dollars in cash. And of course ten thousand dollars could
- 28:42Speaker 2: be yours at the end of the year just by
- 28:44Speaker 2: playing Factor Fiction and being the absolute best at it.
- 28:48Speaker 2: It's all brought to you by Lucky Eagle Casino and Hotel.
- 28:53Speaker 2: You'll count on the Eagle. They're going twenty four. Lucky
- 28:57Speaker 2: Eagle Casino and Hotel is back to twenty four. Our

- 29:17Speaker 2: the Browns giving a point and a half to the
- 29:20Speaker 2: Jets at the Jets if you agree with the pick
- 29:23Speaker 2: fac to four nine four five to one. If you disagree,
- 29:25Speaker 2: fiction your next chance to play eleven thirty five this morning,
- 29:29Speaker 2: with Kid and MJ coming up next. Well, we are
- 29:32Speaker 2: forty eight days shy of Christmas, and yet could the
- 29:36Speaker 2: Mariners deliver us a Christmas present between now and then?
- 29:40Speaker 2: They're going to have a deadline to do so, it
- 29:42Speaker 2: turns out we'll talk about that next. Sports Radio ninety
- 29:45Speaker 2: three point three KJRFM. I'm going Christmas for tree shopping.
- 29:48Speaker 2: I think we're putting up the tree tonight.
- 29:50Speaker 5: Yeah, do you realize there's another holiday before that.
- 29:57Speaker 2: I think I got the result I thought I was
- 29:59Speaker 2: going to get from that little impromptu.
- 30:02Speaker 6: It's going to be so cozy. I'm a little decorated
- 30:04Speaker 6: turkeys all season.
- 30:07Speaker 2: I get to wake up from my nap and it
- 30:09Speaker 2: might already be up.
- 30:10Speaker 6: That's the way are you getting it from?
- 30:12Speaker 2: Uh? I think I am sure, But.
- 30:17Speaker 5: You're getting a real one.
- 30:18Speaker 2: No, get get a real.
- 30:20Speaker 6: One up right now? It would die?
- 30:21Speaker 2: Man.
- 30:23Speaker 5: Well, then get another one when they're supposed to get
- 30:24Speaker 5: another one.
- 30:26Speaker 6: By two trees? Goodness, my bags.
- 30:28Speaker 5: No, no down our own tree, not everybody's trees just
- 30:34Speaker 5: fall down around them.
- 30:35Speaker 6: Yeah, that's your side that it's time to put up
- 30:38Speaker 6: a tree. That tree fell for you to put it up.
- 30:41Speaker 5: No, not true, that tree fell because you guys are
- 30:44Speaker 5: prematurely putting up Christmas trees.
- 30:46Speaker 2: Oh I hoped it was God. Yeah, being angry. Then
- 30:48Speaker 2: why did he have it fall in your ear?
- 30:49Speaker 6: Yeah, you're not the one that puts it on.
- 30:52Speaker 5: Go after you guys.
- 30:55Speaker 2: Well, Christmas is in forty eight days, so maybe I
- 30:58Speaker 2: am jumping.
- 30:59Speaker 3: That's it.
- 30:59Speaker 6: And forty eight days.
- 31:02Speaker 2: But today Munataka Morikami, the Japanese babe ruth, actually we
- 31:09Speaker 2: already have one of those has just been posted. So
- 31:15Speaker 2: that means, by the rules, in forty five days he
- 31:18Speaker 2: asked to have made his decision where he wants to play,
- 31:22Speaker 2: So forty eight days till Christmas, Murakami has forty five
- 31:27Speaker 2: days to decide. I mean, there's a very good chance
- 31:29Speaker 2: we could have a nice little Christmas present this offseason,
- 31:32Speaker 2: because he is being majorly linked to the Mariners and
- 31:36Speaker 2: the Dodgers and certainly the Yankees and other big price teams.
- 31:41Speaker 2: But this is somebody that sort of profiles as a
- 31:44Speaker 2: young Gino Suarez, like he might have like sixty home
- 31:48Speaker 2: run potential at the major league level, but he's probably
- 31:51Speaker 2: gonna hit like two twenty. He's probably going to strike
- 31:54Speaker 2: out a crap ton and not sure he's all that
- 31:58Speaker 2: great of a defensive third basement or even first baseman.
- 32:01Speaker 2: But twenty six years old, he's coming over here. Mariners
- 32:05Speaker 2: have been linked to him. I've seen all sorts of
- 32:07Speaker 2: different financials attached to him. Ten years to twenty I
- 32:11Speaker 2: saw from spotrack, I saw eight years one eighty was
- 32:17Speaker 2: posted by MLB Trade Rumors, six years one thirty two
- 32:20Speaker 2: by fangrass. That's twenty two million dollars a year right there.
- 32:24Speaker 2: And then Kylie McDaniel from ESPN, who Jeff Passing endorses
- 32:28Speaker 2: as really knowing what they're talking about in this area.
- 32:31Speaker 2: Five years, eighty million, sixteen million a year. If that's
- 32:35Speaker 2: the price, he's going to be a Mariner. Jerry de
- 32:39Speaker 2: PoTA will jump all over that.
- 32:41Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm down with that. I mean, I'll say this,
- 32:45Speaker 5: there's a distinct difference I think between the big leagues
- 32:48Speaker 5: in Japan, but I will I kind of where I'm
- 32:53Speaker 5: okay with a guy coming over that has this kind
- 32:56Speaker 5: of power potential, even though he's kind of a you know,
- 32:59Speaker 5: an all or none and type of a guy he's
- 33:01Speaker 5: not going to for a very high average. I think
- 33:03Speaker 5: that there's a drastic change that has happened and we're
- 33:06Speaker 5: kind of seeing it. We saw it. We see it
- 33:07Speaker 5: with our pitchers. We saw it with that you savage
- 33:11Speaker 5: kid from Toronto. There's a lot more split fingers being
- 33:15Speaker 5: thrown today. For a long time, when you and I
- 33:16Speaker 5: were growing up, change ups and you had the occasional
- 33:19Speaker 5: guy that threw a split finger. Back before that, it
- 33:21Speaker 5: was even a fork ball.
- 33:22Speaker 2: The old circle change.
- 33:23Speaker 5: The old circle change worked, and then people started coming
- 33:26Speaker 5: up with different changes, and then all of a sudden,
- 33:28Speaker 5: people started realizing, wait a second, why don't I try
- 33:30Speaker 5: this split finger thing. There's a lot more split fingers
- 33:32Speaker 5: in the game right now. You know where another place
- 33:35Speaker 5: that has a lot of split fingers Japan, Japan. I
- 33:37Speaker 5: read where you were going. Yeah, he saw the bay
- 33:41Speaker 5: I may okay with him signing a guy. I think
- 33:44Speaker 5: that his I think that he will be able to
- 33:46Speaker 5: hit the off speed stuff that some of the guys
- 33:49Speaker 5: over here are going to throw. So I think you'll
- 33:51Speaker 5: come over here and you know a little bit of
- 33:53Speaker 5: growing pains, possibly just coming to a new country and
- 33:56Speaker 5: trying to impress and whatnot. But I still think he's
- 33:58Speaker 5: a guy that could go thirty forty runs to start off.
- 34:01Speaker 2: I do too, I'll take that. I want him, I
- 34:03Speaker 2: do want him, and I want him with Naylor. I
- 34:06Speaker 2: don't want one or the other. I want him with Naylor.
- 34:09Speaker 2: But let's take a look at the Nay roll, because again,
- 34:13Speaker 2: Kyler McDaniel says, Naylor three years fifty two and a half. Oh,
- 34:17Speaker 2: that's a slam dunk. Oh that's if that's right. Oh,
- 34:22Speaker 2: we'll go over that. We'll take that for sure. That
- 34:24Speaker 2: will take that all day long. Fangraft says four years
- 34:28Speaker 2: eighty eight. I'll take that, and then trade rumor says
- 34:31Speaker 2: five years ninety for Josh Naylor. I think where the
- 34:35Speaker 2: sticking point might be in the negotiations. And Justin Hollander
- 34:39Speaker 2: reminded us yesterday that Josh Naylor is the number one priority.
- 34:44Speaker 2: Is going to be Josh Naylor saying this is probably
- 34:47Speaker 2: my one big contract in my life. So I want
- 34:50Speaker 2: five years, and I think the Mariners will only want
- 34:53Speaker 2: to go four. But if you can say i'll do
- 34:55Speaker 2: it five years at eighteen million and bring down the
- 34:58Speaker 2: per year value, then I think there's a marriage there.
- 35:02Speaker 2: So five years ninety. If that's what it takes, I
- 35:05Speaker 2: think the Mariner should do that.
- 35:07Speaker 5: Uh five years not yeah, yes, uh huh please, I
- 35:11Speaker 5: don't to me if you're gonna say he's the number
- 35:13Speaker 5: one priority and there is no salary cap and you're
- 35:15Speaker 5: not anywhere near the salary cap. You have a budget,
- 35:18Speaker 5: a self imposed budget, and I'm okay with you wanting
- 35:21Speaker 5: to make money, but you just recognize how much more
- 35:24Speaker 5: money you make when you get to play a whole
- 35:26Speaker 5: bunch of extra postseason games. That was money in your pocket.
- 35:29Speaker 5: This is the dude you've You've come out and said it.
- 35:31Speaker 5: There's no reason to hide the ball. There's no reason
- 35:34Speaker 5: to make it a secret. Our number one priority is
- 35:36Speaker 5: Josh Naylor. I don't care if it's one extra year
- 35:38Speaker 5: you have to give him. I don't care if it's
- 35:40Speaker 5: a few extra million per year. There's there's a Sometimes
- 35:44Speaker 5: the cost is yeah, I gotta feel maybe am paying
- 35:48Speaker 5: a little bit more than what makes me feel comfortable,
- 35:50Speaker 5: But I feel really good about it because you're going
- 35:52Speaker 5: to reap the benefits of it for a long time.
- 35:55Speaker 5: If this guy ends up being the dude that we
- 35:57Speaker 5: just got to witness for the second.
- 35:58Speaker 2: Half well, I don't think a Tiger's going to change
- 36:00Speaker 2: its stripes no matter how much they like Josh Naylor.
- 36:02Speaker 2: I just pointed out in this segment one other guy
- 36:05Speaker 2: that might be able to fill this role. I think
- 36:08Speaker 2: that they will go a little uncomfortable financially to keep
- 36:11Speaker 2: Josh Naylor, but they're not gonna go a lot of
- 36:13Speaker 2: uncomfortable to make it happen. So if it does get
- 36:16Speaker 2: the twenty five million, they're not gonna pay that. They're
- 36:19Speaker 2: just not going to pay it. I would imagine what
- 36:21Speaker 2: they'd feel comfortable most comfortable paying is four years eighty
- 36:24Speaker 2: somewhere in that range, and then he will be a Mariner.
- 36:27Speaker 2: But if Josh Naylor is after the highest price possible,
- 36:31Speaker 2: I don't think that he will be in Seattle next year.
- 36:34Speaker 2: But it's something we'll be talking about probably for a
- 36:37Speaker 2: while now, because I don't know if he's in any
- 36:39Speaker 2: rush to make his decision. The Mariner's Hot Stove will
- 36:43Speaker 2: be part of our Friday OCHO, one of the eight
- 36:46Speaker 2: stories that will cover next on Sports Radio ninety three
