- 2:19Speaker 2: get to all that coming up with funds at the
- 2:21Speaker 2: two o'clock. I want to just start. You know, it's
- 2:24Speaker 2: funny Mark asked me the question in cross talk about
- 2:26Speaker 2: you know, the last time there was a game this big,
- 2:28Speaker 2: and you know, I pointed out the two games in
- 2:31Speaker 2: twenty thirteen and twenty fourteen the Seahawks had to win
- 2:34Speaker 2: to get the number one overall seed, you know, to
- 2:37Speaker 2: do that, and they did. You know, they did they
- 2:40Speaker 2: did that both those years. Twenty nineteen. It was interesting
- 2:44Speaker 2: kind of looking back because I want to see twenty nineteen,
- 2:46Speaker 2: what the what it looked like because that was the
- 2:50Speaker 2: last time they went playoff game, right if you remember
- 2:52Speaker 2: twenty nineteen, times one. Yeah, yeah, because that was they
- 2:55Speaker 2: went on the road. They won in Philadelphia and then
- 2:59Speaker 2: they lost in Green Bay. And that was like a
- 3:01Speaker 2: month before our world shutdown. By the way, I remember
- 3:03Speaker 2: that ye all too well. That was that particular team
- 3:09Speaker 2: in twenty nineteen, which was a wildcard team obviously going
- 3:12Speaker 2: on the road, I was like, oh was there was
- 3:14Speaker 2: there like a really big game at the end for
- 3:16Speaker 2: them too that particular year. They finished in the Seahawks
- 3:19Speaker 2: that season eleven and five. They lost their last two
- 3:22Speaker 2: games that year. They lost at home to Arizona and
- 3:26Speaker 2: then they lost at home to San Francisco. San Francisco,
- 3:28Speaker 2: if you remember, was the game where what was the
- 3:31Speaker 2: tight end that the backup tight end that got stopped
- 3:33Speaker 2: at the half yard line on fourth down? Remember that
- 3:34Speaker 2: last play of the game. That was so I think
- 3:37Speaker 2: they could have won the division that day if I'm
- 3:40Speaker 2: not mistaken. In fact, I know they could have won
- 3:42Speaker 2: the division that day with a win. Was that guy's
- 3:44Speaker 2: name some mil Texas end doesn't matter, but the but
- 3:47Speaker 2: remember the tight end. It was like the final play
- 3:49Speaker 2: of the game and he got stopped five he was
- 3:51Speaker 2: gonna get in and great play by the linebacker. Green law.
- 3:55Speaker 2: I think it was that made the play somebody else
- 3:57Speaker 2: from the Niners, and so they didn't win. So that
- 3:59Speaker 2: was probably the last one twenty nineteen, San Francisco a
- 4:02Speaker 2: chance to win the division on the final play. I
- 4:05Speaker 2: don't know why this feels better, bigger. Maybe it's just
- 4:07Speaker 2: because we haven't had it for in a while.
- 4:09Speaker 5: It's been a minute twenty nineteen. I didn't realize it
- 4:12Speaker 5: was that long, you know.
- 4:13Speaker 2: I mean they got into the playoffs in twenty twenty
- 4:15Speaker 2: one as well, but a wildcard team, and that was
- 4:19Speaker 2: remember that when we went down to San Francisco. Funny
- 4:21Speaker 2: thing that game was the weather was a lot like
- 4:23Speaker 2: it is here today until kickoff in San Francisco. Yeah,
- 4:27Speaker 2: but this is big. I'm gonna go a little different direct.
- 4:31Speaker 2: I don't want to say I'm taking exception too, but
- 4:32Speaker 2: I'm gonna go a little different direction from what Mark
- 4:34Speaker 2: had to say. He said, this is gonna determine if
- 4:37Speaker 2: you're a contender or a pretender in the grand scheme
- 4:41Speaker 2: of things. I don't know if that's the case, I
- 4:44Speaker 2: think I would go with this direction. I'm not sure.
- 4:48Speaker 2: I think whoever wins this game is looked and I'm
- 4:52Speaker 2: not talking about the odds necessarily, although I'm sure that
- 4:55Speaker 2: would be the case. But I think if you're just
- 4:58Speaker 2: looking around the landscape of the Nation Football League, I
- 5:01Speaker 2: think whoever comes out on top tonight, people are gonna
- 5:04Speaker 2: look at and say that twelve and three team LA
- 5:07Speaker 2: or Seattle in the NFC, they're not only a contender,
- 5:12Speaker 2: they're the favorite to win this whole thing. Because if
- 5:14Speaker 2: you look around the league, I think there's a lot
- 5:16Speaker 2: of contenders, and I think winner lose tonight, Rams or Seahawks,
- 5:20Speaker 2: they're still a contender for the Super Bowl Game. The
- 5:23Speaker 2: loser of the game, I don't think it. I think
- 5:25Speaker 2: you're still You're gonna be eleven and four, You're gonna
- 5:28Speaker 2: be in second place in the best division in football.
- 5:30Speaker 2: You're going to go to the playoffs. Both teams have
- 5:32Speaker 2: a ninety nine percent chance to go. You're a playoff team,
- 5:36Speaker 2: You're that makes you a contender. Now there's teams you
- 5:38Speaker 2: could probably make an argument are not really contenders that
- 5:41Speaker 2: are going to get to the playoffs. I mean, I
- 5:44Speaker 2: kind of feel like Pittsburgh would fall into that category
- 5:46Speaker 2: if they end up winning the North, for example. But
- 5:50Speaker 2: I think whoever wins this is the favorite. It's the
- 5:53Speaker 2: team to beat in the NFL. If you just look
- 5:56Speaker 2: through here is Chicago. Would you say Chicago's more of
- 6:01Speaker 2: a contender than the loser of tonight's game or Philadelphia
- 6:04Speaker 2: with all their blemishes. Yep, certainly not Tampa San Francisco.
- 6:09Speaker 2: They be on par Green Bay's peaking. Look in the
- 6:12Speaker 2: AFC Denver, I don't know what people think, they're a fraud.
- 6:16Speaker 2: They're net points, they're plus eighty one. That's really good.
- 6:20Speaker 2: New England is the one that's interesting at eleven and three.
- 6:23Speaker 2: Had a chance to cinch things off in that division
- 6:25Speaker 2: last week, couldn't get it done because they're haunted by Buffalo.
- 6:29Speaker 2: Is Jacksonville really a contender more than Seattle? Seattle handle
- 6:32Speaker 2: those guys, stn't handle them. Beat Pittsburgh as well. Chargers,
- 6:36Speaker 2: there's always something wrong with them. I don't know what
- 6:38Speaker 2: it is. What's just call it the Harbor effect. You know,
- 6:41Speaker 2: Houston's got a great defense, somewhat questioned. The offense CJ.
- 6:46Speaker 2: Stroud and Nico Collins prolific. Sure, Buffalo always a contender,
- 6:51Speaker 2: but I just kind of I thought it was interesting
- 6:54Speaker 2: when Mark brought up because I think that's a common theme.
- 6:56Speaker 2: Whoever loses tonight, it's going to really prove something. Now,
- 7:00Speaker 2: what this does gives you the inside advantage this game tonight,
- 7:04Speaker 2: it's not a winner take all in terms of playoffs,
- 7:08Speaker 2: and it's not even Mark had a good point, it's
- 7:10Speaker 2: not even a great it's not even winner take all
- 7:12Speaker 2: for the division. Like if Seattle wins, I think he said,
- 7:14Speaker 2: it's still forty eight percent because the Niners are lurking
- 7:16Speaker 2: right there right and you still have to beat them
- 7:18Speaker 2: more than likely at the end of the year to
- 7:19Speaker 2: win the division. This is a game that puts you
- 7:22Speaker 2: in a better position, kind of puts you in the
- 7:24Speaker 2: driver's seat. But I don't think it determines anything in
- 7:28Speaker 2: terms of being content. I think there's a lot of contenders.
- 7:30Speaker 2: The winner tonight's the favorite. The winner tonight's the favorite.
- 7:34Speaker 2: The path is much more difficult if you don't win
- 7:36Speaker 2: this game. I think maybe in some ways, maybe in
- 7:41Speaker 2: some ways for Seattle, even though they've been a great
- 7:45Speaker 2: road team and a so so home team, Maybe just
- 7:49Speaker 2: maybe for Seattle, because the home field advantage does have
- 7:52Speaker 2: the ability to be a better home field advantage than
- 7:55Speaker 2: it does in so far where there's always a ton
- 8:00Speaker 2: of visiting fans. We complain about it here. I'm telling you,
- 8:03Speaker 2: Sofi is an interesting beast man, it just more so
- 8:08Speaker 2: for the Chargers with visiting fans. But even the four
- 8:12Speaker 2: times I think I've been to Sofi for a Rams
- 8:14Speaker 2: Seahawks game and just listening and watching games with Sofi
- 8:18Speaker 2: as home field isn't what Luman can be. What I'm
- 8:20Speaker 2: more excited about, Jess in terms of that is if
- 8:23Speaker 2: the Seahawks get back to the postseason and play a
- 8:26Speaker 2: true home playoff game the first time in what eight
- 8:30Speaker 2: or nine years, That'd be awesome. It's been forever because
- 8:35Speaker 2: twenty twenty didn't count. You didn't play a home game.
- 8:37Speaker 2: People bring that up all the time while they lost
- 8:38Speaker 2: that home game, that home playoff game to the to
- 8:40Speaker 2: the Rams and the backup quarterback. Well, no goff ended
- 8:44Speaker 2: up coming in after a series one, but number two,
- 8:46Speaker 2: there's no fans there. I think you did sielence for
- 8:48Speaker 2: that game, didn't you.
- 8:50Speaker 5: I did that whole that season twenty twenty. That was bizarre.
- 8:55Speaker 2: That was that wasn't a home game, No there. Yeah,
- 9:00Speaker 2: it was the eeriest, weirdest times, so quiet, rosest thing
- 9:03Speaker 2: I'd ever been around. If the way the crowds have
- 9:07Speaker 2: come back, the way you Seahawk fans have come back
- 9:10Speaker 2: this year, tonight's massive. You can make a difference. I
- 9:14Speaker 2: think you will make a difference. I don't think there's
- 9:17Speaker 2: any doubt about that. The rain and the weather is
- 9:20Speaker 2: going to be a factor. There's no doubt. We'll see
- 9:23Speaker 2: how the wind affects throwing the ball. I think maybe
- 9:25Speaker 2: more than anything, it'll affect how you know, Jason Myers does.
- 9:29Speaker 2: He's been such a.
- 9:30Speaker 6: Huge weapon for you.
- 9:32Speaker 2: You know, that's the thing. It's like everyone's, hey, how's
- 9:35Speaker 2: it going to be for the two quarterbacks? I'm sale's
- 9:37Speaker 2: best offensive weapon has been Jason Myers lately, I'm more
- 9:41Speaker 2: worried about that, Like, yeah, right, And so that could
- 9:48Speaker 2: be a factor as well, especially you know, with points
- 9:51Speaker 2: being more than likely at a at a premium all right,
- 9:55Speaker 2: Like like it is it is big, It is really
- 9:59Speaker 2: really big. All right? Ah man, I'm ready to go.
- 10:04Speaker 2: Can I say this quietly? I wish there wasn't a
- 10:05Speaker 2: hockey game tonight.
- 10:06Speaker 3: Nobody's listening, Just kidding, ang R, but nobody in the building.
- 10:12Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, anyway, all right, let's get to it.
- 10:17Speaker 2: Greg Cosale is standing by. This will be fun. We
- 10:20Speaker 2: haven't had a chance talk to Greg for a while.
- 10:22Speaker 2: We'll talk, We'll check in with him, we'll break it down.
- 10:25Speaker 2: What does the film say about tonight's matchup Stafford and
- 10:28Speaker 2: McVeigh and the Rams offense against that Mike McDonald defense,
- 10:33Speaker 2: And how about the other side of the football as well.
- 10:36Speaker 2: Nobody will get you ready better than our guy Greg Cosell.
- 10:39Speaker 2: He'll join us.
- 10:40Speaker 1: Coming up next, It's time for Egan's weekly visit with
- 10:54Speaker 1: NFL Films Greg Coso, brought to you by Seattle Cider
- 10:58Speaker 1: Company on your home for the twelfth Man and the
- 11:01Speaker 1: NFL Sports Radio ninety three point three kjr FM.
- 11:07Speaker 2: All right, well, it's a Thursday, not a Friday, not
- 11:11Speaker 2: even a Sunday. But it's a game day for the Seahawks.
- 11:14Speaker 2: Just in case people missed it, there's a little bit
- 11:16Speaker 2: of a game going on down at Lumenfield tonight, five
- 11:18Speaker 2: point fifteen, kickoff Thursday Night Football. You can watch it
- 11:21Speaker 2: locally on Fox thirteen. It's also on the Prime Video,
- 11:24Speaker 2: but if you're old school, do you want to watch
- 11:26Speaker 2: it on TV. The good thing is when they have
- 11:28Speaker 2: these games on Prime Video, they also show them on
- 11:31Speaker 2: local as they say, over the year television. So it's
- 11:34Speaker 2: on Fox thirteen tonight as well. My buddy Aaron Levine
- 11:36Speaker 2: and that crew. They've got you all hooked up ready
- 11:38Speaker 2: to go, and then they'll take the Kirkirb Street out
- 11:40Speaker 2: Michael's broadcast for you starting at five o'clock. Hey, you
- 11:44Speaker 2: know went throw a second TV? Do? I don't watch
- 11:45Speaker 2: the cracking tonight? Why not? Just want to take it
- 11:47Speaker 2: on Calgary. Greg Cosell joined us right now courtesy of
- 11:52Speaker 2: our friends at Seattle Cider. Sir, how are you doing great?
- 11:57Speaker 7: I and how are you doing?
- 11:59Speaker 2: I'm good good. I wish I could solely focus on
- 12:01Speaker 2: a football game tonight, but so be it. I'll have
- 12:03Speaker 2: to multitask and probably pull a great CoA sell and
- 12:06Speaker 2: watch the game later tonight after it's all said and done.
- 12:10Speaker 2: So that's all. That's all good. I'll be ready to go.
- 12:12Speaker 2: But this is a this is a big one. Greg,
- 12:15Speaker 2: let me go back a little bit if I could,
- 12:17Speaker 2: just last week, because there's been a lot of talk
- 12:19Speaker 2: about sneaking by just barely beating Indianapolis. Defense was great,
- 12:24Speaker 2: Philip Rivers was not not nothing shocking. There we weren't
- 12:27Speaker 2: surprised by a forty four year old coming off the
- 12:30Speaker 2: off the couch, you know, kind of just getting by.
- 12:33Speaker 2: But offensively, the Seahawks really struggled last week. What did
- 12:38Speaker 2: great coast sales? I see last week with that game
- 12:40Speaker 2: against Indianapolis, especially on the offensive side.
- 12:43Speaker 7: Yeah, I think, you know, the offense sort of a
- 12:47Speaker 7: lingering concern, and as the season has progressed, sometimes it
- 12:51Speaker 7: becomes more of a concern just because teams understand what
- 12:54Speaker 7: you can and can't do. And I would say this,
- 12:57Speaker 7: I would say with their run game. And that's the
- 13:00Speaker 7: issue quite frankly, their run game. The issue being multiple,
- 13:05Speaker 7: but it all marries together.
- 13:06Speaker 2: In number one.
- 13:07Speaker 7: The O line has not played really well as run blockers.
- 13:12Speaker 7: So when you combine that with the traits of their
- 13:16Speaker 7: predominant number one back, Kenneth Walker, who, as we've discussed before,
- 13:21Speaker 7: is not necessarily a hit it up inside, get the
- 13:24Speaker 7: hard yards kind of back. He's a back that always
- 13:27Speaker 7: looks to bounce and looks for the big play. So
- 13:30Speaker 7: that combination doesn't work well together. So what happens is,
- 13:34Speaker 7: instead of hitting it up and getting what's there, maybe
- 13:37Speaker 7: making a run that looks like it's blocked for two
- 13:39Speaker 7: and you get four, and that might not seem like
- 13:42Speaker 7: a big run, but second and six is a lot
- 13:44Speaker 7: different than if you bounce and lose a yard or
- 13:46Speaker 7: gain one yard. So you end up with a lot
- 13:49Speaker 7: of longer yardage plays that you don't want to end
- 13:52Speaker 7: up with. And quite frankly, I think that's one reason
- 13:55Speaker 7: why zak Sharboney plays as much as he does, because
- 13:57Speaker 7: even though he doesn't really have a lot of quickness
- 14:00Speaker 7: to him, he at least runs downhill. So I think
- 14:03Speaker 7: that's one reason that he gets more snaps because he
- 14:07Speaker 7: clearly doesn't have the physical running traits that Walker has
- 14:10Speaker 7: in terms of just athleticism. So the run game has become,
- 14:15Speaker 7: you know, a little bit of an issue and you know,
- 14:19Speaker 7: depending on the weather this evening, which you certainly would
- 14:21Speaker 7: know better than I. But if that is truly an
- 14:25Speaker 7: issue and you and there's rain and maybe there's some
- 14:28Speaker 7: wind and you know, who knows, and then it becomes
- 14:31Speaker 7: a case where you probably need the run game to
- 14:33Speaker 7: at least be sustaining. It doesn't have to be big play,
- 14:36Speaker 7: but at least be sustaining. If it can't be, you
- 14:39Speaker 7: get caught in a problem and you've got another problem
- 14:42Speaker 7: for tonight because of who they're playing against. If you
- 14:45Speaker 7: have to throw it, you don't have Charles Cross. So
- 14:47Speaker 7: now you're in a situation where that front four, which
- 14:50Speaker 7: is a very good pass rushing front four, is going
- 14:54Speaker 7: you know, whether it's verse predominantly verse, maybe young at times,
- 14:59Speaker 7: but going against a backup left tackle.
- 15:03Speaker 2: Yeah, Josh showns me that backup left tackle who's going
- 15:05Speaker 2: to start in place of Charles Cross, which I'm still
- 15:08Speaker 2: somewhat I don't know. I guess I don't watch it
- 15:11Speaker 2: close enough, but gosh, you've got an elite left tackle
- 15:14Speaker 2: who's playing his best football and he's having part of
- 15:18Speaker 2: the NFL's roster issues. I had this conversation with Holmegron
- 15:21Speaker 2: last week. The fact you can't activate fifty three guys,
- 15:24Speaker 2: so you only have you know, three backup linemens. So
- 15:26Speaker 2: then you've got your left tackle who gets hurt on
- 15:28Speaker 2: the final play of the game blocking for a field
- 15:29Speaker 2: goal is just moronic in my mind, among other things
- 15:33Speaker 2: in the NFL that make no sense, like not having
- 15:35Speaker 2: three quarterbacks. That's why I have a forty four year
- 15:37Speaker 2: old and I'm done ranting for a minute. Dram we
- 15:39Speaker 2: move on, Greg Cozelle joining us Churtsy susider. Yeah, the weather,
- 15:43Speaker 2: and I'll just kind of throw this at you because
- 15:45Speaker 2: I mean, we're in that time of the year across
- 15:46Speaker 2: the NFL where we're seeing weather be issues. Right We're
- 15:50Speaker 2: all across the NFL. The weather's becoming an issue, snow whatever.
- 15:54Speaker 2: Right now. The weather in Seattle, downtown Seattle Big thanks
- 15:57Speaker 2: to my Fox thirteen weather app is windy. It'll be
- 16:02Speaker 2: about fifteen mile an hour wins throughout the entire game
- 16:06Speaker 2: coming from the south rain. It looks like through probably
- 16:09Speaker 2: the end of the first half and then and then
- 16:12Speaker 2: it does dry out, but it will be kind of windy,
- 16:15Speaker 2: so you know that that would probably affect you know,
- 16:17Speaker 2: the quarterbacks.
- 16:19Speaker 7: Yeah, olthough the rain is the bigger issue because both
- 16:22Speaker 7: quarterbacks have the armstrength to cut through you know, a
- 16:25Speaker 7: fifteen mile an hour wind. You're not talking about you know,
- 16:27Speaker 7: fifty mile an hour wins. So if it gets dry,
- 16:31Speaker 7: that's not an issue. Both quarterbacks can throw it. The
- 16:33Speaker 7: question is if you're throwing a wet ball. I haven't
- 16:36Speaker 7: done a study of Stafford or Sam Donald throwing a
- 16:39Speaker 7: wet ball, so I can't speak to that. But there's
- 16:41Speaker 7: no question that this is a game where you'd like
- 16:43Speaker 7: your run game to at least be a sustaining factor.
- 16:47Speaker 2: Jess, get Hugh Milling on the line. I know he's
- 16:48Speaker 2: done that same he's done that study on wet balls
- 16:51Speaker 2: and the ability. You know, yes, you know that he's
- 16:57Speaker 2: done that. Actually, he used to work for the ball
- 16:59Speaker 2: company for a while, so he has. Actually I joke,
- 17:01Speaker 2: but he has done those studies. It is amazing the
- 17:04Speaker 2: difference of what ball makes great co sell with us.
- 17:06Speaker 2: All right, let's let me talk Sam Donald for it
- 17:08Speaker 2: for a second, because you just said it's something at
- 17:11Speaker 2: the before that last answer, you said, you know, the
- 17:13Speaker 2: ongoing issues of the offense for Seattle, you know, kind
- 17:16Speaker 2: of like there are some things going on. I ask
- 17:19Speaker 2: you this every week. We didn't have you on last
- 17:20Speaker 2: week because Jess took over the airways from the Army
- 17:23Speaker 2: Navy game. But what are you seeing from Sam Donald?
- 17:26Speaker 2: Is there a regression? Is it?
- 17:28Speaker 8: Just?
- 17:29Speaker 2: Where are you seeing it Sam Donald today as opposed
- 17:31Speaker 2: a few weeks ago. Oh?
- 17:33Speaker 7: I don't think so. I mean they still run a
- 17:36Speaker 7: lot of the same kinds of things. And look, don't
- 17:38Speaker 7: forget there was a play in the first half where
- 17:40Speaker 7: Smith and Jigo dropped the pass that he never drops. Yeah,
- 17:43Speaker 7: did he miss a few here and there. I thought
- 17:46Speaker 7: he missed one, you know later in the game where
- 17:48Speaker 7: he had he he Hadtally Heed on a skinny post
- 17:52Speaker 7: on third and seven from the twelve yard line with
- 17:55Speaker 7: two and a half minutes remaining, and he left the
- 17:56Speaker 7: ball behind him. You know, you're gonna miss some here
- 17:59Speaker 7: and there. But I don't think he's played poorly.
- 18:02Speaker 2: You know.
- 18:04Speaker 7: I think you know, when an offense doesn't score as
- 18:07Speaker 7: many points, and they certainly scored a lot of points
- 18:09Speaker 7: at times this year, it's very easy just to look
- 18:12Speaker 7: at the quarterback. You know, I don't think he's a
- 18:15Speaker 7: problem now. Granted, they did not have a great offensive
- 18:17Speaker 7: game last week. They were only two for thirteen on
- 18:20Speaker 7: third down, They got in the red zone twice, and
- 18:22Speaker 7: they didn't score a touchdown. You know, it was it
- 18:25Speaker 7: was not their best game. We know that, But I
- 18:27Speaker 7: don't I don't look at this now. A lot of
- 18:29Speaker 7: people are going to look back to Week eleven when
- 18:31Speaker 7: he threw four picks and say he has struggled with
- 18:33Speaker 7: the rams. You know, I never know exactly where to
- 18:37Speaker 7: go with that. Ian and I'm being honest, you know,
- 18:39Speaker 7: this is a different game. Do I think the Rams
- 18:42Speaker 7: do anything where Sam Darnold, you know, goes, oh my god,
- 18:45Speaker 7: I just can't you know that that really bothers me.
- 18:47Speaker 7: I would doubt that that's true. But you know, I
- 18:51Speaker 7: think that the offense has not been balanced in any way,
- 18:54Speaker 7: shape or form, you know, for much of this season,
- 18:57Speaker 7: and that puts a lot of pressure on a quarterback.
- 18:59Speaker 7: You know, just to get back to the run game
- 19:01Speaker 7: will correct, and then we have to talk about the
- 19:02Speaker 7: Rams offense because it's really fascinating against that Seattle defense,
- 19:07Speaker 7: which is really good. But uh, you know, one of
- 19:10Speaker 7: the things that stands out is, you know, in the
- 19:12Speaker 7: run game, we have what are called combo blocks, where
- 19:14Speaker 7: there's a quick double team on the first level and
- 19:17Speaker 7: then an O alignment has to climb to the second
- 19:19Speaker 7: level to block a linebacker. They don't do that very well,
- 19:23Speaker 7: and that's a problem, and that's one of the problems
- 19:26Speaker 7: they have in the run game. So it's you know,
- 19:29Speaker 7: it never looks clean to a back, and like I said,
- 19:32Speaker 7: Walker's the kind of back that if it doesn't look clean,
- 19:34Speaker 7: he bounces.
- 19:36Speaker 2: It is it is our guy, great Cosale joining us
- 19:39Speaker 2: here on the Beacon plumbing hotline. Yeah. Final thing on
- 19:43Speaker 2: the Seahawks offense, you mentioned it, Josh Jones with crossout,
- 19:47Speaker 2: Jones goes to the left tackle. They've got Sundell back
- 19:50Speaker 2: last week. I don't know how he looked compared to
- 19:52Speaker 2: Ola Timmy. The interior line still kind of feels like
- 19:55Speaker 2: it's an issue. Just talked. You just talked about the
- 19:56Speaker 2: blocking issues they've had along the way. Do you expect
- 19:59Speaker 2: that the r especially with Jared Vers, are going to
- 20:01Speaker 2: really try to exploit that left side?
- 20:05Speaker 9: Yeah?
- 20:05Speaker 7: I mean, you know, I think the Rams play the
- 20:08Speaker 7: way the Rams play. You know, they're a team that
- 20:10Speaker 7: rushes predominantly with four. They're not a heavy blitz team
- 20:14Speaker 7: in terms of percentage. You know, every team is selective,
- 20:17Speaker 7: you know, does blitz, but I don't think that's the
- 20:20Speaker 7: mo of of Shula, their d C. I think that
- 20:24Speaker 7: he'll look to rush with four and he'll feel like
- 20:26Speaker 7: he can win that matchup. And you know, the main
- 20:29Speaker 7: thing is, and this is not a profound statement, but
- 20:32Speaker 7: they'll feel like they can get them into pure pass
- 20:35Speaker 7: situations and then they play a lot of dime and
- 20:37Speaker 7: I think they'll you know, the question is will they
- 20:40Speaker 7: do anything specific with Smith and Jigba. You know, Shaheed
- 20:45Speaker 7: Shied's been coming on a little bit in terms of
- 20:47Speaker 7: how he's being you know, deployed within the context of
- 20:50Speaker 7: their offense. So you know, we'll see if because I
- 20:54Speaker 7: think you can attack their corners, I think that is
- 20:56Speaker 7: a weakness, or let's put it that way, not a
- 20:59Speaker 7: strain in their defense. And I think you can attack
- 21:03Speaker 7: their corners. So we'll see if the weather prevents it
- 21:07Speaker 7: or if they feel like they can do that.
- 21:09Speaker 2: Greg Cosel joining us, all right, you mentioned let's flip
- 21:11Speaker 2: to the other side, Matt Stafford and that offense, Sean
- 21:13Speaker 2: McVay offense coming to stake on the Seattle defense led
- 21:17Speaker 2: by head coach Mike McDonald. I mean, what we just
- 21:20Speaker 2: talked about on the other side is one thing. If
- 21:22Speaker 2: we're just kind of highlighting if this was a boxing
- 21:25Speaker 2: match where this is the main event, is it not
- 21:27Speaker 2: the Stafford McVeigh offense against the McDonald defense.
- 21:32Speaker 7: Yes, you know, the Seahawks essentially are a big nickel defense.
- 21:36Speaker 7: They play big nickel and they played dime, so big
- 21:39Speaker 7: nickel means that emin Warie is on the field, he
- 21:42Speaker 7: plays every snap, and one couldn't make the argument that
- 21:45Speaker 7: he is the critical piece to their defense as a rookie.
- 21:49Speaker 7: So that's what they play. They predominantly play that, and
- 21:54Speaker 7: Joe normally is the boundary corner, but they do get
- 21:58Speaker 7: Woolan in there. And when Woolan plays in the big nickel,
- 22:01Speaker 7: believe it or not, he plays to the field and
- 22:03Speaker 7: they move Witherspoon to the boundary and then in dime
- 22:06Speaker 7: Job stays as the boundary corner and Wollin will play
- 22:09Speaker 7: is the field corner. We know Julian Love is back.
- 22:12Speaker 7: I guess they kind of worked him back in slowly
- 22:15Speaker 7: because Arcada still is getting some snaps. I don't know
- 22:18Speaker 7: what that means for tonight, but so but Love is
- 22:21Speaker 7: certainly back. We know the air fronts playing really really well.
- 22:26Speaker 7: I mean, there are plays when I watch Williams and Murphy,
- 22:29Speaker 7: you know where I feel like it's teach tape. I mean,
- 22:31Speaker 7: Murphy on the first play of the game last week
- 22:33Speaker 7: was teach tape. The way you two gap, you control
- 22:36Speaker 7: and displace and make a tackle with the back. But
- 22:39Speaker 7: I think the important point here with the Rams offense,
- 22:42Speaker 7: and this is fascinating to me Ian because I don't
- 22:45Speaker 7: you know. I've been doing this a long time, and
- 22:47Speaker 7: not that I can remember everything, but I don't recall
- 22:49Speaker 7: a team making such a dramatic change in their personnel
- 22:53Speaker 7: deployment as the Rams. From weeks one through six, they
- 22:56Speaker 7: didn't play one snap with three tight ends on the field.
- 23:00Speaker 7: Beginning Week seven, they've played forty one percent of their
- 23:03Speaker 7: offensive snaps with three tight ends on the field. Now,
- 23:06Speaker 7: the odd thing is is they had two games in
- 23:08Speaker 7: that stretch where they didn't do that, and one was Seattle.
- 23:12Speaker 7: But they also don't have DeVante Adams tonight, so I
- 23:16Speaker 7: would assume they're going to play out of three tight
- 23:19Speaker 7: ends quite a bit. And keep this in mind. In
- 23:22Speaker 7: the last two games the Rams have played, okay, they
- 23:26Speaker 7: have just out of three tight ends. Now they've gained
- 23:30Speaker 7: almost seven hundred yards of offense just and eight touchdowns
- 23:35Speaker 7: just out of three tight ends. Think about that. That's remarkable.
- 23:39Speaker 7: And each tight end kind of has a defined role
- 23:42Speaker 7: because I've been studying their offense a lot, because obviously
- 23:44Speaker 7: they're a good team and they made such a dramatic change.
- 23:47Speaker 7: So Terence Ferguson, who you know from the PAC twelve,
- 23:51Speaker 7: the old tack twelve is kind of their receiving tight end.
- 23:54Speaker 7: Davis Allen is kind of their blocking tight end, and
- 23:57Speaker 7: Kobe Parkinson another Pac twelve guy. I believe he's kind
- 24:02Speaker 7: of there combo platter. He can do a little of both.
- 24:05Speaker 7: So you know, they have specific roles designated for how
- 24:08Speaker 7: they deploy each tight end, but they play with three
- 24:11Speaker 7: tight ends. They just started playing Nikua as the wide
- 24:14Speaker 7: receiver in that three tight end package, and with Adams out,
- 24:19Speaker 7: I'm sure Nikou will get more and more snapped as
- 24:22Speaker 7: the single receiver in that three tight end package.
- 24:25Speaker 2: You don't care about such things.
- 24:27Speaker 7: I'll bring it up though, And no, I gave you
- 24:28Speaker 7: a lot there, but that's one fascinating team.
- 24:32Speaker 2: Yeah. I just did the quick thing on Nikoo. He's
- 24:34Speaker 2: got a lot of stuff going on off the field
- 24:35Speaker 2: right now today. I mean it is, Yeah, I know
- 24:38Speaker 2: he's Yeah, he's gonna.
- 24:40Speaker 7: He should know better than what he said.
- 24:42Speaker 2: Yeah, he will see how distracted he is. And I'm
- 24:45Speaker 2: just the running game itself. Yeah, I'm gonna oversimplify it,
- 24:51Speaker 2: but I feel like if there is if we're kind
- 24:53Speaker 2: of going the old, the old newspaper things, we used
- 24:56Speaker 2: to do, the check marks, right, you know, like, who's
- 24:58Speaker 2: got the advantage here and there? If I'm going Charbonnay Walker, Williams, Korum,
- 25:04Speaker 2: I think the Rams have an advantage at running back
- 25:07Speaker 2: in their two head of months.
- 25:08Speaker 7: Well, here's what I would say. One of their foundational
- 25:11Speaker 7: concepts is called duo. It's two double teams basically on
- 25:15Speaker 7: the d tackles, and it fits the traits and skills
- 25:18Speaker 7: set of both Williams and Korum, who are at their
- 25:20Speaker 7: best with their shoulder squared attacking downhill. They get hard yards.
- 25:25Speaker 7: But the question is will that be their foundational run
- 25:29Speaker 7: tonight because now they're all linemen and again it's a
- 25:32Speaker 7: double team, so they may feel comfortable, but the two
- 25:35Speaker 7: guys they have to get blocked on the inside when
- 25:37Speaker 7: they run duo are Williams and Murphy, who are both
- 25:40Speaker 7: playing extremely well. So again I'm not Sean McVeagh. He's
- 25:44Speaker 7: a lot smarter than I am. So I'm not gonna
- 25:46Speaker 7: sit here and say they're going to do it or
- 25:47Speaker 7: not do it. All I'm saying is that's been a
- 25:49Speaker 7: foundational run because it clearly fits the skill set of
- 25:53Speaker 7: their backs. McVeigh made that change. You remember he was
- 25:56Speaker 7: a big outside zone guy for those three or four
- 25:58Speaker 7: years when Todd Gurley was in his prime and perhaps
- 26:01Speaker 7: the best back in the league for a couple of years.
- 26:03Speaker 7: But he was a great outside zone runner. Williams and
- 26:06Speaker 7: Korum even though they still run outside zone, it's still
- 26:09Speaker 7: part of what they do, but that's not the strength
- 26:12Speaker 7: to be their back.
- 26:13Speaker 2: Greg O sell Joinis Christy Salsider. I the you're talking
- 26:19Speaker 2: about Murphy, I want to go back to him for
- 26:21Speaker 2: a second, because you know we've been doing this for
- 26:23Speaker 2: a long time. You haven't used the term teach tape
- 26:26Speaker 2: a lot on this on this show where guys at
- 26:28Speaker 2: a level where you would take that tape and say
- 26:31Speaker 2: this is how you do it. And last year Byron Murphy,
- 26:34Speaker 2: he was banged up a little bit last season. I
- 26:37Speaker 2: think it's a great example greg of Hey, listen, you
- 26:40Speaker 2: can't judge a player sometimes coming to the NFL on
- 26:43Speaker 2: five or six games, because there are a lot of
- 26:45Speaker 2: people around the league saying, why did they take Jalen
- 26:48Speaker 2: Carter they got Murphy instead? And what you're seeing, you've
- 26:51Speaker 2: seen Murphy really elevate his game, right Yeah.
- 26:55Speaker 7: Oh, I think Murphy this year has played at a
- 26:57Speaker 7: really high level. I mean I really like what I've
- 27:00Speaker 7: seeing on tape. You know, we talked about him when
- 27:03Speaker 7: you drafted him, and he has tremendous traits and he
- 27:07Speaker 7: was hurt in and at a lineup last year. You're
- 27:08Speaker 7: getting used to the NFL. I mean it's a different game.
- 27:11Speaker 7: You know, people who think, oh, you're playing a certain
- 27:13Speaker 7: league in college. Oh, it's not like the NFL.
- 27:16Speaker 2: You know that.
- 27:16Speaker 7: I mean everybody should know that. But he's played, I
- 27:20Speaker 7: think really well this year. He has plays that Like
- 27:23Speaker 7: I said, that first play of the game, take a
- 27:25Speaker 7: look at it. It was it was really you can't
- 27:27Speaker 7: do it any better than that. But he's played well.
- 27:30Speaker 7: Williams has played really well. You know, they've just gotten
- 27:34Speaker 7: really really good play up front. And you know that's
- 27:38Speaker 7: been that's really been a foundation of you know, and
- 27:42Speaker 7: believe it or not. I was very anxious to see
- 27:44Speaker 7: Riley Mills get some snaps last week for the first
- 27:47Speaker 7: time because he you know, obviously, as you know, he
- 27:50Speaker 7: had an ACL injuries last year at Notre Dame. I
- 27:52Speaker 7: kind of liked him a lot in college. You know,
- 27:54Speaker 7: you wouldn't call him explosive, but to me, you know,
- 27:57Speaker 7: he's you can almost argue that Stylistically, he's similar to
- 28:02Speaker 7: a Jaron Reed, who, by the way, he's playing also
- 28:04Speaker 7: playing well because the one Colos has explosive But they're
- 28:07Speaker 7: just really solid, rotational guys. And you know, I think
- 28:11Speaker 7: Mills is gonna end up you know fitting. I mean,
- 28:14Speaker 7: Reid doesn't have ten years left in the league, so
- 28:16Speaker 7: you know, I think that Mills could end up being
- 28:18Speaker 7: the guy that kind of replaces him.
- 28:20Speaker 2: Jared to'd be the first one to admit that too.
- 28:22Speaker 2: By the way, if you talk to him with that,
- 28:25Speaker 2: Jared would be the first guy to admit I don't
- 28:26Speaker 2: have ten years left in the league too. He's one
- 28:28Speaker 2: of the best guys to talk to on that team.
- 28:29Speaker 2: I love him Without Davonte Adams, and obviously you mentioned
- 28:34Speaker 2: Puku is in with that thirteen personnel, Now what is
- 28:38Speaker 2: it too? Two out? Well, I mean it really feels
- 28:40Speaker 2: like Stafford has really leaned a lot on DeVante Adams
- 28:44Speaker 2: this year. As much as the Charles crossing, Yes is
- 28:46Speaker 2: big for cl DeVante Adams is a big loss for them,
- 28:49Speaker 2: isn't he? Yeah?
- 28:50Speaker 7: For sure. I was a great receiver. I mean, what
- 28:52Speaker 7: does he have? Fourteen to fifteen touchdowns? He's a great receiver,
- 28:56Speaker 7: So yeah, without him, you know, Nkou is obviously the
- 28:58Speaker 7: guy that gets the most tart.
- 29:00Speaker 2: We know that.
- 29:01Speaker 7: But then you're gonna start dealing with guys like Mumfield,
- 29:03Speaker 7: who I know they like, and he'll get snaps. Maybe
- 29:06Speaker 7: Whittington starts to get more snaps. He played quite a
- 29:09Speaker 7: bit earlier in the season. They have two guys and
- 29:12Speaker 7: to too at Well and Xavier Smith, who are kind
- 29:14Speaker 7: of similar, but they're both very explosive and you just
- 29:17Speaker 7: want to make sure they don't get over the top
- 29:19Speaker 7: of your defense, so you know, they still have weapons. Obviously,
- 29:24Speaker 7: Adam's losing him as a big loss because he's great,
- 29:26Speaker 7: probably a Hall of Famer. But uh, you know it's
- 29:30Speaker 7: they're they're not They're not going to abandon the past game,
- 29:33Speaker 7: you know, unless the weather is so bad that you
- 29:35Speaker 7: can't do it. But we also know Stafford could probably
- 29:37Speaker 7: throw the ball in any kind of weather.
- 29:40Speaker 2: No, I don't, Uh, I don't doubt that unfortunately at all. Well,
- 29:43Speaker 2: I mean, it's gonna be a good one tonight. Greg.
- 29:44Speaker 2: It's way late for you. It's like an eight to
- 29:46Speaker 2: fifteen start, easy time.
- 29:48Speaker 7: I know, I don't. I these games do not fit
- 29:51Speaker 7: my life, you know. And I hate these night games,
- 29:55Speaker 7: you know, So we'll see. We'll see how I feel.
- 29:58Speaker 7: Come you know, eight o'clock Eastern time tonight. You know,
- 30:01Speaker 7: I might be ready for my milk and cookies in bedtime.
- 30:03Speaker 2: You never know. The beautiful thing is when you wake
- 30:07Speaker 2: up tomorrow morning early on the East Coast, you'll have
- 30:10Speaker 2: at your fingertips that tape that you like to watch,
- 30:13Speaker 2: and you'll go through that as well, and which will
- 30:15Speaker 2: be awesome.
- 30:16Speaker 7: I'll probably get to it, believe it or not, on
- 30:18Speaker 7: Saturday because we shoot my matchup show tomorrow. So when
- 30:21Speaker 7: I come in in the morning, you know, I'll have
- 30:22Speaker 7: to prepare for that, so I you know, I can't
- 30:25Speaker 7: grind on the tape first thing, even if the game
- 30:27Speaker 7: is phenomenal. I'll probably do that on Saturday.
- 30:30Speaker 2: Well, if you have any questions, just text Jess. I
- 30:32Speaker 2: know you like to talk to her. She'll give you
- 30:33Speaker 2: the update.
- 30:34Speaker 5: Yeah, we'll catch up. We'll do our weekly call.
- 30:37Speaker 7: To give me the answers I need. I know that
- 30:39Speaker 7: for sure.
- 30:40Speaker 2: She gives us all the answers we need. That's why
- 30:42Speaker 2: we keep her around here, because otherwise there are no answers,
- 30:45Speaker 2: just a lot of questions.
- 30:45Speaker 7: The only reason.
- 30:46Speaker 2: Come on, no, Hey, she's the rudder that steers this thing. Greg,
- 30:50Speaker 2: you know that i'd be. I don't know where i'd be,
- 30:53Speaker 2: you know, you know, I mean Andrews tries his best
- 30:55Speaker 2: when he's in and he does a great job. But
- 30:57Speaker 2: you know we got to lean on miss Mac time
- 31:00Speaker 2: the Coxman. Yes she is, Yes, here we go. Let's
- 31:03Speaker 2: get it going, all right, listen, Greg, great stuff. Christmas
- 31:08Speaker 2: next Thursday, and we're off on Boxing Day because you
- 31:10Speaker 2: know we're all Canadian like to celebrate Boxing Day. I joke.
- 31:13Speaker 2: I think I think we're on the air on the

- 34:02Speaker 2: know what, I'm gonna hit this real fast because I
- 34:04Speaker 2: know I think Greg brought it up yesterday on the
- 34:06Speaker 2: show the whole Laane Lambert post game thing.
- 34:09Speaker 5: On Jesse again Okay, a lot of people.
- 34:11Speaker 2: Did bad look right, just a badok really bad look.
- 34:17Speaker 2: Had nothing And I want to emphasize this again, nothing
- 34:20Speaker 2: to do with Lane Lambert. Like I know, he's getting
- 34:22Speaker 2: blasted by people. That's not who he is. He was
- 34:26Speaker 2: taken off guard by the fact that the PR person
- 34:28Speaker 2: cut it off after one minute and three seconds or
- 34:31Speaker 2: whatever it was. I know that the PR staff has
- 34:33Speaker 2: come out and said, hey, we're sorry, it shouldn't happen,
- 34:35Speaker 2: never would happen again, etc. When you're losing and then
- 34:39Speaker 2: something like that happens, it just snowballs from there. It
- 34:43Speaker 2: was just a bad day. It was a bad mistake,
- 34:46Speaker 2: bad decision, rogue decision. But it was not Lane. It
- 34:50Speaker 2: was not the coach. We've seen coaches cut off interviews. Yes,
- 34:54Speaker 2: you know, come out, be really pissed off, like give
- 34:57Speaker 2: you thirty seconds if I'm mad, we suck, we do
- 34:59Speaker 2: this whatever. Found your fist on the table and a
- 35:01Speaker 2: walk away that's actually pretty fun. Usually I like those
- 35:04Speaker 2: YEA sound bites. Well, yeah, we won't talk about John McLaren,
- 35:11Speaker 2: but yeah, you know what I'm talking about the real ones.
- 35:13Speaker 2: This one was not that that Lane was caught off guard.
- 35:16Speaker 2: It was just a mistake and they've all kind of
- 35:17Speaker 2: come clean and away we go. We move on. Uh
- 35:20Speaker 2: so there you go, real quick we get to that's
- 35:22Speaker 2: it for daily power play. Let me have a big
- 35:23Speaker 2: thanks to Esquahanda Kumoda. Seahawks made a couple of roster
- 35:27Speaker 2: moves just in the last few minutes. Drake young It
- 35:30Speaker 2: has been activated off the injured list. He's been out
- 35:32Speaker 2: for a while. Big addition, specially for special teams. He's
- 35:36Speaker 2: a really key key part of your special teams, and
- 35:40Speaker 2: Goodness knows, we've seen the special teams have been a
- 35:42Speaker 2: big part of what's happened lately. So getting Durek Young
- 35:44Speaker 2: back is big. He also gives you a big body,
- 35:47Speaker 2: big target as a wide receiver with Horton out, so
- 35:49Speaker 2: he's been activated. Also, they elevated cam Akers off of
- 35:52Speaker 2: the practice squad as well as offensive lineman Amari kite
- 35:56Speaker 2: Kite was in training camp. He's been on the practice squad.
- 35:58Speaker 2: He can play tackle for you, so that's probably one
- 36:01Speaker 2: of your backup swing tackles for tonight. Goodness me, we
- 36:04Speaker 2: better not. If Jones and or Lucas were to go
- 36:07Speaker 2: down tonight, you would be in a world of hurt.
- 36:10Speaker 2: I'll just say that, So pray for health in that regard.
- 36:14Speaker 2: I believe, and I knowbody Hawk blogger tweets something down
- 36:18Speaker 2: I just check with corbyin the Hawks. I think only
- 36:21Speaker 2: have one more activation for the regular season off injured list,
- 36:25Speaker 2: but I think that resets you get too in the postseason.
- 36:27Speaker 2: Why is that significant because of Tory Horton Because you
- 36:30Speaker 2: need him back at some point. You want to get
- 36:32Speaker 2: him back at some point. So maybe it's not till
- 36:34Speaker 2: the playoffs they get him back, but we'll see. So
- 36:36Speaker 2: there you go. That's your Seahawk roster moves today. This
- 36:40Speaker 2: is always a bittersweet day, Jess, when we say goodbye
- 36:42Speaker 2: to our next gas coming up in a minute with
- 36:44Speaker 2: so much fun I you know, I love doing the
- 36:47Speaker 2: segment with him. I love the unofficial start of the weekend.
- 36:50Speaker 2: I love our little collection, a collected collection of people
- 36:54Speaker 2: that call in every week. It's because it's like a
- 36:56Speaker 2: family affair in so many ways. And when we do
- 36:59Speaker 2: our final fantasy football segment of the year with Funston
- 37:02Speaker 2: is a bummer, man. I just I hate it and
- 37:05Speaker 2: it just kind of it really bums me out. So uh,
- 37:08Speaker 2: but that's coming up next it's second week of the playoffs.
- 37:11Speaker 2: Next week is Christmas leak. After that is New Year,
- 37:13Speaker 2: so we're not on the next two Thursdays. And this

- 40:52Speaker 6: you know, the season just cruises by so fast, Bro Suggess,
- 40:56Speaker 6: so does the off season. Like you know that that
- 40:58Speaker 6: like MIDSI text that you send me, I'm always like, wow,

- 41:10Speaker 2: Figure by now funds Jess. I need just to have
- 41:13Speaker 2: Jess do it instead because people are a lot more
- 41:15Speaker 2: receptive to her. But you know what, I.
- 41:19Speaker 5: Have taken over that role in a couple instances.
- 41:22Speaker 2: It is an annual tradition. It's like sometime early August,
- 41:25Speaker 2: I'll usually be sitting out in a Seahawks training camp
- 41:28Speaker 2: practice Fundstone, and I'll be looking out going, damn, we
- 41:31Speaker 2: gotta we gotta talk to Fundston here pretty quick. Send it,

- 41:41Speaker 2: we have this thing and then right.
- 41:43Speaker 6: After that, exactly, I don't expect anything to change.
- 41:47Speaker 2: I love Avenue on every week. You know that our
- 41:49Speaker 2: listeners love it. We can judge that by the well
- 41:52Speaker 2: I mean just and the phone calls were full before
- 41:54Speaker 2: we even I didn't give a phone call phone number out,
- 41:56Speaker 2: uh and it was full. So that tells you that
- 41:58Speaker 2: text line four nine four five one. People that are
- 42:00Speaker 2: texting or calling now are either in the playoffs or
- 42:03Speaker 2: trying to avoid what I'm trying to avoid, and that
- 42:06Speaker 2: would be last place, and whatever punishment may come with that,
- 42:09Speaker 2: I should mention all season long. Brandon Funston has been
- 42:12Speaker 2: brought to you by our good friends at Georgetown Brewing Manny's,
- 42:15Speaker 2: Pale Ale Body's off of Lucille, and of course the

- 42:44Speaker 2: to it, shall we do it? Let's do it?
- 42:46Speaker 9: I mean this is let's get some championships. Okay, let's
- 42:50Speaker 9: let's least.
- 42:50Speaker 2: Get some people there. Yeah, let's try to do that. Well,
- 42:54Speaker 2: let's start as always. This is a good sign. This
- 42:56Speaker 2: means you're doing your job this year, Fundston, Mike and
- 42:59Speaker 2: Edmund starts things off for the final time this year.
- 43:02Speaker 2: Fire Away, Mike, oh.
- 43:04Speaker 4: Man, the last time. It's a sad day. Yeah, high end. Hi,
- 43:09Speaker 4: Brandon Hijasimond. Happy holidays to all of you guys, and
- 43:14Speaker 4: thanks thanks for putting up with all those nutjobs. Okay,
- 43:18Speaker 4: it's just fantastic.
- 43:19Speaker 2: I'm Mike real fast. I will just say you and
- 43:23Speaker 2: Rob and Ricky and the Sultan two Step Steppers and
- 43:27Speaker 2: everybody else. You guys, You guys make this fun every
- 43:30Speaker 2: week for us. Honestly, it's I look forward to hearing
- 43:32Speaker 2: your voices every week. I think Brandon, you would echo
- 43:34Speaker 2: those sentiments absolutely. Yeah, all right, Mike, fire Away, what's
- 43:38Speaker 2: your question?
- 43:39Speaker 4: Oh, well, I choke up a few times when I
- 43:42Speaker 4: call in, But nobody sounds cooler that calls in in
- 43:46Speaker 4: my mind than Ricky, So way to go Ricky. Okay,
- 43:50Speaker 4: all right. I could say that I need one running
- 43:55Speaker 4: back on one ride receiver out of the following five guys,
- 43:59Speaker 4: but needs are terrible this week. It's just awful. So
- 44:04Speaker 4: really what I need is for you to rank the Brandon. Okay,
- 44:07Speaker 4: so here we go full PPR. I got Juwan Jennings,
- 44:11Speaker 4: Tony Pollard, DK, Metcalf, Kenneth Gainwell, and Flowers and again
- 44:19Speaker 4: thank you.
- 44:20Speaker 6: Okay, I think I'm going all three receivers first, so
- 44:24Speaker 6: uh DK, then probably Jennings are Flowers. I'd probably go
- 44:30Speaker 6: Jennings if Ricky Pearsall doesn't plays kind of in the
- 44:33Speaker 6: balance a little bit again, but either way, I have
- 44:36Speaker 6: those your receivers top three, and then Pollard and then
- 44:41Speaker 6: gain Well. Remember Gainwell had a little bit more run
- 44:44Speaker 6: last week because Jayleen Warren was not feeling well. Should
- 44:47Speaker 6: feel better this week.
- 44:48Speaker 2: Perfect, All right, Mike, thanks again, there's always happy holidays
- 44:51Speaker 2: to you. I don't believe we have Ricky, right, No, Ricky,
- 44:55Speaker 2: Jess Oh.
- 44:56Speaker 3: Not yet, not yet, not yet, Okay, I mean we
- 44:59Speaker 3: don't know if he's in the postseason or not.
- 45:02Speaker 2: Well, and the phones filled up really fascinating. Okay, so
- 45:04Speaker 2: let's go to Burian our friend Rob and Bury in Hi, Rob.
- 45:12Speaker 11: Good afternoon.
- 45:13Speaker 12: In honor of this crap pastic season, we'll do some
- 45:15Speaker 12: day drinking withtle cools, light in Jack and Coke.
- 45:19Speaker 5: Happy holiday is Rob.
- 45:22Speaker 2: God, never change your beauty. I love you all right?
- 45:24Speaker 2: What do you got, Rob.
- 45:27Speaker 12: And Brandon? You've been outstanding. I'd make some very questionable
- 45:31Speaker 12: decisions in my time to just think. So I thank
- 45:34Speaker 12: you very very very much. Did we go with Dak
- 45:36Speaker 12: or Sammy? We've been perfect last month?
- 45:39Speaker 9: Yeah?
- 45:40Speaker 6: I have these as a big discrepancy. Donald is at
- 45:43Speaker 6: twenty four and I have Dak at like nine or ten.
- 45:47Speaker 2: So I don't like the.
- 45:48Speaker 6: Matchup for Prescott, but I don't like the matchup for
- 45:51Speaker 6: Sam Darnold either. And you know, got a couple of
- 45:54Speaker 6: nice options there for Prescott to work with, and Pickens
- 45:57Speaker 6: and Lamb and your questionable decision Robs starts with the
- 46:00Speaker 6: course light.
- 46:01Speaker 9: We got Georgetown sponsoring to show all year long. You
- 46:05Speaker 9: gotta go it if.
- 46:06Speaker 6: You're not gonna win your fans I think you might
- 46:07Speaker 6: as well go with the higher class beer.
- 46:09Speaker 2: Thank you very much. We love the course light. Yeah,
- 46:13Speaker 2: well we'll tell you course Lights a sponsor to the headlines.
- 46:16Speaker 2: But yeah, this is the George. We got to introduce
- 46:18Speaker 2: you to listen, tavern beer. Go find a tavern beer somewhere,
- 46:21Speaker 2: not now, because you don't want you to leave in
- 46:22Speaker 2: the house. You're having jack and coke as well. And
- 46:24Speaker 2: I'll chase you down with some Chambers Bay bourbon at
- 46:27Speaker 2: some point too, and get you up. We gotta get
- 46:28Speaker 2: Rob upgraded all the way around funds tonight. Just all
- 46:30Speaker 2: this whole thing's a disaster. All right, Thanks buddy, great

- 46:58Speaker 13: to rank and and uh yeah, well so it's quandary.
- 47:02Speaker 13: Judkins RJ, Harvey, Woody, Marx or K nine, And I'm
- 47:08Speaker 13: also wondering is K nine even trustable at all? To
- 47:11Speaker 13: start tonight? He's been killing me.
- 47:13Speaker 9: I don't know.
- 47:14Speaker 6: I mean, they've just been They've been splitting those carries.
- 47:16Speaker 6: The running game hasn't isn't going well. We got Charles
- 47:18Speaker 6: Cross out. Listen, I got Walker way behind your other three,
- 47:23Speaker 6: and interestingly enough, I go Harvey, Judkins and Marx. They're
- 47:26Speaker 6: back to back to back on my rankings, so I
- 47:29Speaker 6: split in hairs between those three, but I would go
- 47:31Speaker 6: in that order Harvey, Judkins, Marks.

- 47:48Speaker 13: semi finals with.
- 47:49Speaker 12: Rejected win two of the three.
- 47:51Speaker 14: So hey, all money leagues two?
- 47:53Speaker 2: Yeah, you can go pounce ound anyway. What do you got.
- 47:57Speaker 15: So well, hey, make it worse for you. Ian last
- 47:59Speaker 15: week made a mistake at the left pits in the
- 48:01Speaker 15: game in my lineup, starting lineup, so hey there was that. Yeah,
- 48:10Speaker 15: I need a wide receiver in a flex between Pittman, Pitts,
- 48:15Speaker 15: DJ Moore, Sultz and Andrews and thank you guys.
- 48:18Speaker 7: Be happy holiday.
- 48:20Speaker 6: Uh yeah, I think I'm going Pits again Drake London.
- 48:24Speaker 6: We'll see if he plays, but it's another good matchup
- 48:26Speaker 6: after last week. I don't know how you sit Pitts
- 48:28Speaker 6: and I don't know how you play Pittman with Philip
- 48:30Speaker 6: Rivers at quarterback. DJ Moore, I have him ranked pretty
- 48:34Speaker 6: high this week. Both Luther Burden and Romadonsda are out,
- 48:37Speaker 6: so he should see alpha kind of targets this week.
- 48:41Speaker 2: And so like it.
- 48:42Speaker 9: You gotta go those two.
- 48:43Speaker 2: Love it, love it. Thanks Steve and Stephen, Thanks for
- 48:45Speaker 2: calling all ye man. We appreciate your support. Keep listening
- 48:48Speaker 2: to the show, keep listening to the station. Uh, I'm
- 48:50Speaker 2: gonna before I get your last caller jest, I'm gonna
- 48:52Speaker 2: go up to Nate in Seattle. Nate and Seattle has
- 48:55Speaker 2: been holding on for a while.
- 48:55Speaker 11: Hey Nate, So I won last week, but I'm kind
- 49:02Speaker 11: of getting it, kind of getting irritated with these running
- 49:05Speaker 11: backs splitting carries and Bucky Irving not getting red red
- 49:10Speaker 11: zone carries or goal line carries. It's going to be
- 49:12Speaker 11: the demise of my team. So I had to choose
- 49:17Speaker 11: two of four running backs Amari and Hampton, Kamani Vidal,
- 49:23Speaker 11: Bill Merritt or Chris Rodriguez. And then I never thought i'd.
- 49:28Speaker 16: Ask this, but Pits or Bowers. Pits with London possibly
- 49:35Speaker 16: coming back. But Bowers has a head coach that does
- 49:39Speaker 16: not know how to utilize the tight end position.
- 49:41Speaker 2: Damn right, you're right on, right on.
- 49:44Speaker 6: And he also he also Bowers also facing the defense
- 49:48Speaker 6: that looks like the best in the league right now
- 49:49Speaker 6: in Houston.
- 49:50Speaker 9: So I have these.
- 49:52Speaker 6: I have Pits as my tight end three this week,
- 49:54Speaker 6: Brock Bowers is my tight end four. So I guess
- 49:58Speaker 6: I'm gonna say Pitts over Bowers, and I feel good
- 50:01Speaker 6: about that. As far as your running backs, I would
- 50:03Speaker 6: take what I expect to be sort of the league
- 50:05Speaker 6: guy in each group, and that's Amaron, Hampton and Chris Rodriguez.
- 50:10Speaker 6: I have the dal and who was the other one there?
- 50:13Speaker 6: Oh and to Corey Krossky Merrit a little bit below
- 50:17Speaker 6: both of those two beautiful.
- 50:19Speaker 16: All Right, I'm looking forward to September and October.
- 50:22Speaker 2: I appreciate it, and thanks for the supporting eight. Thanks
- 50:24Speaker 2: for calling in. We appreciate you and everybody else. All right,
- 50:26Speaker 2: I've got four callers I'm looking at here, jes four
- 50:29Speaker 2: more and that's going to be it. Okay, and and
- 50:31Speaker 2: you know, and you know who the last guy is
- 50:33Speaker 2: going to be. Now he's gonna we know he'll finish
- 50:37Speaker 2: things off. Let's go to Will in Maple Valley. Is
- 50:40Speaker 2: that right?
- 50:41Speaker 5: I'm sorry, Mount Vernon.
- 50:42Speaker 2: Mount Vernon, Will and Mount Vernon go ahead. Will.
- 50:46Speaker 13: Hey, guys, thank you again for everything you've done all season.
- 50:48Speaker 13: I'm more of a listener than a caller in usually,
- 50:51Speaker 13: but I got a couple of here, soul, I need
- 50:54Speaker 13: two of these. T Higgins, Troy Franklin, Jordan Addison or
- 51:00Speaker 13: Khalil Shakur in a half PPR perfect go ahead.
- 51:04Speaker 9: Yeah, I think I'm gonna go h T Higgins.
- 51:07Speaker 6: If he plays, he's dealing with the concussion again, he's
- 51:09Speaker 6: a little bit iffy.
- 51:10Speaker 9: But if he's there, he's.
- 51:11Speaker 6: Clearly number one here, then I would go Khalil Shakira.
- 51:14Speaker 6: If T. Higgins doesn't play, I'd probably throw in Addison
- 51:19Speaker 6: ahead of Franklin.
- 51:19Speaker 2: Slightly. Okay, Thank you appreciate that. Will Aaron in Vancouver, America,
- 51:25Speaker 2: is Vancouver. I assume hi erin it is.
- 51:29Speaker 17: Hey, thanks for doing this guys. Happy holidays, Jess, you're
- 51:32Speaker 17: when you answer the phone, he Chipper, love you guys.
- 51:36Speaker 17: Love listening to the show. I gotta let's see. I
- 51:39Speaker 17: gotta start sit a flex half point PPR Aaron Jones,
- 51:45Speaker 17: Hubbard or Kyron Williams. And then in a full PPR,
- 51:49Speaker 17: should I play Ferguson at tight end or pick up Loveland?
- 51:54Speaker 6: M Yeah, I have Loveland just ahead of Ferguson by
- 51:58Speaker 6: a couple of spots, so I like that play there,
- 52:01Speaker 6: and I would go Kiren as the number one choice
- 52:03Speaker 6: at the running back spot.
- 52:05Speaker 2: Aaron Jones.
- 52:05Speaker 6: I like his matchup. She'd be next and be pretty close,
- 52:08Speaker 6: but he's splitting with Jordan Mason still a bit. Tuba
- 52:10Speaker 6: looks like he's falling back behind Daldo.
- 52:12Speaker 9: A little bit, so he'd got number three choice there.
- 52:14Speaker 9: Good luck to you all.
- 52:16Speaker 2: Right, awest up you, thank you, appreciate thanks. Aaron. Listening
- 52:19Speaker 2: on the iHeartRadio app. I'm sure let's go to Chuck
- 52:22Speaker 2: in Everett. He's our second to last caller this year.
- 52:24Speaker 2: Chuck go ahead.
- 52:26Speaker 8: Hey, I appreciate you guys having me on. Happy holidays
- 52:28Speaker 8: to you. I got standard scoring. I can't play DeVante Adams,
- 52:34Speaker 8: and I'm okay with that because I'd rather not play tonight.
- 52:37Speaker 8: I need to fill the wide receiver. I need to
- 52:39Speaker 8: fill the flex. I got Mike Evans, Ashon Genty, Jacobe Myers,
- 52:44Speaker 8: Kayshaun Boot and Chris Ruder against Junior.
- 52:50Speaker 2: So I'm.
- 52:52Speaker 6: I'm going in the order based. Yeah, yeah, I'm going
- 52:55Speaker 6: in the order that you said. I don't love Mike
- 52:56Speaker 6: Evans's matchup against the j C. Horn, but still like
- 53:00Speaker 6: the way you looked last week. It was a show
- 53:02Speaker 6: me game. You had to kind of watch him after
- 53:04Speaker 6: the callardun injury. He looked great, So I would go
- 53:07Speaker 6: ahead and roll with him number one. I'd probably uh
- 53:10Speaker 6: go Gent, and I might I might go Myers ahead
- 53:14Speaker 6: of Gent at this point it's been kind of rough,
- 53:16Speaker 6: but especially since it's not PPR. Yeah, splitting hair is there,
- 53:22Speaker 6: but I think you only needed one, so I would
- 53:24Speaker 6: go with Evans.
- 53:25Speaker 2: All right, perfect chuck, Thanks, yeah, thank you appreciate it.
- 53:30Speaker 2: We wrap it up our final phone call of the year,
- 53:32Speaker 2: usually batting number two in the order, but but your
- 53:36Speaker 2: ears must have been burning. Let me introduce him correctly,
- 53:39Speaker 2: Ricky into comba, Hey, Ricky my bat ninth?
- 53:42Speaker 14: Is this a JP Crawford today?
- 53:45Speaker 9: The same thing?
- 53:46Speaker 8: Actually say that he's awesome, dude.
- 53:49Speaker 14: Go Hawks, and happy holidays everyone. We got to get
- 53:52Speaker 14: you a win tonight. All right, what do you got,
- 53:54Speaker 14: okay to combine? I know I had to combine four
- 53:57Speaker 14: leagues and with the best question. So all right, I
- 54:00Speaker 14: guess standard and pp You have PPR, But I got
- 54:03Speaker 14: four pass catchers. I need the best for Brandon Oka, Deebo,
- 54:06Speaker 14: Samuel SR, Michael Pittman, Kobe Parkinson, and Michael Wilson because
- 54:12Speaker 14: I don't know if if Marvin Harrison my player or not,
- 54:14Speaker 14: if he's still worth starting or not.
- 54:16Speaker 12: So I have those four and I need the best too.
- 54:19Speaker 6: If Marvin Harrison doesn't play, it's it's Michael Wilson all
- 54:22Speaker 6: the way. He's number five on my wide receiver list.
- 54:26Speaker 6: If that's assuming Harrison doesn't play. If he does play,
- 54:29Speaker 6: I'd put him kind of in the debo mix in
- 54:31Speaker 6: that mid to late twenties at wide receiver. So let's say,
- 54:35Speaker 6: let's say Harrison's out, so I'm gonna go Wilson. Then
- 54:38Speaker 6: I'm gonna go Parkinson. I think he's I mean with
- 54:40Speaker 6: no DeVante Adams. Parkins has been great, scoring a lot
- 54:43Speaker 6: of touchdowns scored the last time he faced Seattle. Should
- 54:45Speaker 6: get more targets with Adams out, so he would be
- 54:48Speaker 6: me my number two, and then Debo would be my
- 54:50Speaker 6: number three.
- 54:51Speaker 2: Pittman number four. A Hey, Ricky, Okay, thank you Ricky. Yeah, Hey, listen,
- 54:56Speaker 2: I'm gonna say I I appreciate you calling in every week.
- 54:59Speaker 2: We appreciate all our listeners. Uh like guys like you

- 55:16Speaker 14: Oh, happy holidays to take care of y'all.
- 55:19Speaker 2: There you go. That's our guy Ricky in Tacoma. Fundstand.
- 55:22Speaker 2: Let's get some text four nine four to five one.
- 55:23Speaker 2: I got him right here in front of me. Here
- 55:25Speaker 2: we go one second after the hour, Brock perty Caleb
- 55:29Speaker 2: Williams or Dak thanks for another fun season, Funston. That's
- 55:33Speaker 2: Ryan and Scottsdale listening on the iHeartRadio app. Who's originally
- 55:36Speaker 2: by the way from Poulsbo. So Perty Caleb.
- 55:38Speaker 6: DK Yeah, my neck of the was Yeah, I got
- 55:41Speaker 6: Purty kind of clearly ahead of the other two here,
- 55:45Speaker 6: So go Perty against Indiana.
- 55:46Speaker 2: Yeah, we got a lot of people listening on the
- 55:47Speaker 2: Arheart radio app for this particular segment. Love or GoF Funston.
- 55:52Speaker 9: Yeah, I like Love.
- 55:53Speaker 6: I like the matchup against Chicago, I have GoF. I
- 55:55Speaker 6: like the matchup at home indoors for golf against Pittsburgh.
- 55:59Speaker 2: So give me golf pick one of three. Jay Warren,
- 56:02Speaker 2: Keenan Allen or McLaurin.
- 56:05Speaker 6: I think Keenan Allen's if he to play, so I'm
- 56:09Speaker 6: gonna go McLaurin. I don't love, I don't love the
- 56:13Speaker 6: matchup against Philly.
- 56:14Speaker 9: But I I feel.
- 56:15Speaker 6: A little bit better. I think Jaalen Warren and Kevin
- 56:17Speaker 6: Game we are.
- 56:17Speaker 9: Gonna continue to split. So that has hasn't been on him.
- 56:20Speaker 2: But this is a hell of a question. Stafford or Lamar.
- 56:23Speaker 2: It's a six point passing touchdown league and a half
- 56:26Speaker 2: point per completion league. So Stafford Or go.
- 56:29Speaker 6: Lamar's been he's been. You know he's been bad a
- 56:32Speaker 6: little bit. He's been better to.
- 56:33Speaker 9: The last two games. He's gonna get some rushing.
- 56:36Speaker 6: Last time Stafford played Seattle, they one hundred and thirty
- 56:38Speaker 6: passing yards. They get a couple of touchdown passes.
- 56:41Speaker 9: But we're in our house.
- 56:43Speaker 6: It's gonna be not great weather probably, so I think
- 56:47Speaker 6: I feel better about.
- 56:47Speaker 2: Lamar Herbert or Goff.
- 56:50Speaker 6: I'm gonna go with Gough.
- 56:51Speaker 9: I like them both.
- 56:52Speaker 2: We're still one second after one o'clock. Need two of
- 56:55Speaker 2: these three, Michael Carter, Blake Corham, Kareem Hunts two of
- 56:58Speaker 2: the three.
- 57:00Speaker 6: Let's go with Michael Carter, and I'm gonna go.
- 57:05Speaker 2: Blake.
- 57:05Speaker 6: Corn has been getting a good amount of touches. It's
- 57:08Speaker 6: kind of been splitting with Kyen Williams. Been serviceable in
- 57:11Speaker 6: fantasy for a while, So give me Blake Horn. But yeah,
- 57:13Speaker 6: Michael Carter probably leading the Cardinals batfield with Bam Night.
- 57:16Speaker 2: Out half point PPR, Wondale Robinson or Jayden Reid and
- 57:21Speaker 2: Jalen Yeah, so half point people are Wondale Robinson or
- 57:24Speaker 2: Jayden Reid.
- 57:25Speaker 14: YEP.
- 57:25Speaker 6: I'm gonna go with Wandale Robinson having pretty close, but
- 57:28Speaker 6: I like Wandale a little bit better.
- 57:30Speaker 2: Jalen Warren or r J Harvey, r J Harvey need
- 57:34Speaker 2: one please full PPR Michael Wilson, TET McMillan, Marvin Harrison,
- 57:39Speaker 2: Stefan Diggs, Christian Watson or Mike Evans needs one.
- 57:42Speaker 6: Yeah, it's Michael Wilson. If Marvin Harrison doesn't play. Who
- 57:45Speaker 6: was the second guy you.
- 57:46Speaker 2: Listed MTET McMillan.
- 57:48Speaker 6: Yeah, and he would be my second choice. And I
- 57:50Speaker 6: think he's trending towards he's gonna play, So it would
- 57:53Speaker 6: be Wilson with no Marvin Harrison. If Marvin Harrison, then
- 57:56Speaker 6: I would go with TET McMillan.
- 57:57Speaker 2: Inquiring minds want to know what about christ wants like Christian?
- 58:01Speaker 6: Yeah, it sounds like it sounds like he's trending towards playing.
- 58:04Speaker 9: I have him ranked as.
- 58:06Speaker 6: Wide receiver twenty nine right now, so definitely worthwhile putting
- 58:09Speaker 6: in your lineup.
- 58:10Speaker 2: Oh guy Chris and Auburn. We got to get to
- 58:12Speaker 2: this guy because Auburn is not in a good shape
- 58:14Speaker 2: right now. So half point PPR Kelsey are Loveland.
- 58:18Speaker 6: Kelsey by a little bit over Loveland.
- 58:21Speaker 2: You know who's throwing to him?
- 58:22Speaker 11: Two?
- 58:22Speaker 6: You know who that's right, yeah, right, you know that's
- 58:25Speaker 6: all that's all baked into the answer.
- 58:32Speaker 2: The two of the four DK, Mike Evans, Christian Watson
- 58:34Speaker 2: or Davante Smith.
- 58:37Speaker 9: I'm gonna go with the first two. DK, Mike Evans.
- 58:39Speaker 2: How about DK is kind of coming along?
- 58:40Speaker 9: You mean he's he's coming along. He's got a nice
- 58:42Speaker 9: matchup this week, just.
- 58:44Speaker 2: A few not we having to hit one one minute
- 58:46Speaker 2: after the hour. But I'm gonna a couple more of
- 58:47Speaker 2: these and center scoring need to Sutton, Judkins, Flowers, T Higgins.
- 58:50Speaker 9: Sutton, Judkins, Flowers, Flowers, T Higgins.
- 58:53Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm gonna go Sutton, Sutton and Flowers.
- 58:58Speaker 2: If T.
- 58:58Speaker 6: Higgins plays, probably lean Flowers and Higgins and Man Higgins
- 59:03Speaker 6: and Sutton would be close for me. But right now,
- 59:07Speaker 6: assuming Higgins had another concussion, I feel like he's probably
- 59:11Speaker 6: not gonna play, So give me Sutton and.
- 59:13Speaker 2: Flowers, Canine or Michael Carter full PPR.
- 59:16Speaker 9: Yeah, I think I want Michael Carter here just a
- 59:19Speaker 9: little bit.
- 59:20Speaker 2: Baker Mayfield, Jordan Love.
- 59:23Speaker 6: Check my yeah, I got Jordan Love two spots ahead
- 59:25Speaker 6: of Mayfield, both kind of borderline.
- 59:27Speaker 9: Top twelve.
- 59:30Speaker 2: Need Pittser Warren, Pittser, Warren sorry.
- 59:34Speaker 6: Yeah, I downgraded Tyler Warren a lot after seeing how
- 59:39Speaker 6: he looked with Philip Rivers just not didn't look great. So,
- 59:42Speaker 6: I mean, I don't know how you sit Pitt's after
- 59:44Speaker 6: last week A chance Derek Drake Calender doesn't play again.
- 59:47Speaker 6: Not a bad matchup Arizona gives up a decent amount
- 59:49Speaker 6: to tight end.
- 59:50Speaker 9: So it's Pitts all the way.
- 59:51Speaker 2: It's supposed to be a what do you call those
- 59:53Speaker 2: super flex like I do need to sit? Need to
- 59:55Speaker 2: sit one Burrow, Darnold or Stafford? Who do you sit?
- 1:00:00Speaker 6: I'm gonna say Darnold, it's my quarterback twenty four.
- 1:00:04Speaker 9: The other two are decidedly higher.
- 1:00:06Speaker 2: Than that RB two pp R league pa Checko Sharbone.
- 1:00:14Speaker 6: Yeah, when's the last time, when's the last time Pachecko
- 1:00:17Speaker 6: has done anything for us?
- 1:00:18Speaker 9: Give me Sharbonay he hates a chance to score tesch
- 1:00:20Speaker 9: down E leaves.
- 1:00:22Speaker 2: Of course, I just I just jinxed, you know, I
- 1:00:24Speaker 2: just did the well they wonder about, like the whole
- 1:00:26Speaker 2: the whole Pat Mahomes factor too. So exactly, uh do
- 1:00:32Speaker 2: you trust Jason Myers in this weather? I have Dicker
- 1:00:35Speaker 2: and fair baron fair Barns options.
- 1:00:38Speaker 6: Oh, man, I mean i'd probably I'd probably go with
- 1:00:42Speaker 6: fair Baron.
- 1:00:42Speaker 9: He's a great kicker.
- 1:00:43Speaker 6: He's gonna be kicking you know, in Houston at home indoors.
- 1:00:47Speaker 9: Yeah, so, I mean I would have no problem making
- 1:00:49Speaker 9: that switch.
- 1:00:51Speaker 6: I mean, how many times are the Seattle I mean,
- 1:00:53Speaker 6: we gotta assume this is gonna be another one of
- 1:00:54Speaker 6: those games that might be in the you know, high
- 1:00:57Speaker 6: teens to low twenty, and I don't think it's going
- 1:00:59Speaker 6: to be decent to a lot.
- 1:01:00Speaker 2: Of field goals. Yeah, I'm kind of thinking the same thing, Funston.
- 1:01:04Speaker 2: That's it. If people don't get the questions answered, where
- 1:01:06Speaker 2: do they go? I go to the.
- 1:01:07Speaker 6: Athletic and yeah, check it all out, we go. We
- 1:01:09Speaker 6: still have a bunch of stuff out there. I'd certainly
- 1:01:12Speaker 6: get you ready for this big semi final fantasy matchup.
- 1:01:16Speaker 6: And yeah, we have discord. It's still going as well.
- 1:01:19Speaker 6: I would moderate us there that can answer your questions
- 1:01:21Speaker 6: that they can't get answered here.

- 1:03:25Speaker 2: I mentioned that to Chuck Hartole. I saw him, I
- 1:03:26Speaker 2: think at Cougar Game. I went to with you game.
- 1:03:29Speaker 2: I saw I was talking to Chuck Carl that He's like, no,
- 1:03:33Speaker 2: when you see him up close. The look they don't
- 1:03:34Speaker 2: look like Oregon at all, Like I don't up closest
- 1:03:37Speaker 2: of what matters, that's not what matters. That's what matters
- 1:03:40Speaker 2: is how it's gonna look on TV or from the stands.
- 1:03:42Speaker 2: So we'll see, hopefully, hopefully, hopefully they look good tonight.
- 1:03:45Speaker 2: So you know the third jersey, do you believe in jinxes?
- 1:03:50Speaker 2: Is that kind of stuff?
- 1:03:51Speaker 3: Yeah, but only personally, like if I if I like
- 1:03:55Speaker 3: leave you know, a stadium or go to the bathroom
- 1:03:58Speaker 3: and the teams scores, I day there.
- 1:04:00Speaker 2: Okay, I got you. Well, Because the Seahawks Lime Greens,
- 1:04:04Speaker 2: I think they had issues in those over the years,
- 1:04:06Speaker 2: right like they have. The first time they were them
- 1:04:08Speaker 2: was a gym more of time the Linda Mara game,
- 1:04:11Speaker 2: if I'm not mistaken, and people hated those because of that.
- 1:04:14Speaker 2: The Krakens new third jerseys this year. They're winless of
- 1:04:16Speaker 2: those who man away.
- 1:04:17Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, they are.
- 1:04:20Speaker 2: The only Kracking jersey they've ever won in that isn't
- 1:04:24Speaker 2: one of their normal the normal home or away jerseys
- 1:04:28Speaker 2: of I think they've had now three alternate jerseys, the
- 1:04:31Speaker 2: Winter Classic and then two others including this year, and
- 1:04:33Speaker 2: they have one win. It was a Winter Classic one.
- 1:04:36Speaker 2: That's it. Yeah, so let's for the seahawks sake. Hopefully
- 1:04:40Speaker 2: they the jerseys don't cause an issue tonight. Two texts
- 1:04:43Speaker 2: here that I want to write twour nine. Actually more
- 1:04:45Speaker 2: than that, maybe with this one. Any update on if
- 1:04:48Speaker 2: Ian's friends get a host to show. We're still it's
- 1:04:52Speaker 2: it's a two more week battle. I won last week,
- 1:04:57Speaker 2: but these guys have some I've got a massive bone
- 1:05:00Speaker 2: to pick because I don't like how it's shaking out.
- 1:05:04Speaker 2: The guy I beat finished in last place in the
- 1:05:06Speaker 2: regular season by two games. I beat him in the
- 1:05:10Speaker 2: first round of the Consolation Bowl. But he can still
- 1:05:14Speaker 2: end up passing me if he wins this week and
- 1:05:17Speaker 2: beats me next week, I play a different guy. There's
- 1:05:21Speaker 2: a real sketchiness going on, Jess. I don't like it.
- 1:05:23Speaker 2: I think it doesn't smell right.
- 1:05:25Speaker 3: I'm a little conspiratorial that they are all ganging up.
- 1:05:29Speaker 2: Yeah. I think I'm being picked on. Yeah, I really do.
- 1:05:31Speaker 5: Because they want to host a two hour show.
- 1:05:35Speaker 2: I just have no idea how that would go if
- 1:05:37Speaker 2: they're only going to host an hour. By the way,
- 1:05:39Speaker 2: it's only an ow.
- 1:05:40Speaker 3: Okay, okay, I like that. I like that I only
- 1:05:43Speaker 3: having half a palpitation right now.
- 1:05:45Speaker 4: Then.
- 1:05:45Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, I don't know how it'll go, but I
- 1:05:49Speaker 2: do like all you guys texting and asking about it,
- 1:05:53Speaker 2: be careful for what you ask for. I'm just going
- 1:05:54Speaker 2: to tell you that right now, because these guys are
- 1:05:56Speaker 2: all dipsticks. Okay, let's see, let's see. This is a
- 1:06:00Speaker 2: great question. Four two, five. What's the bigger matchup this
- 1:06:03Speaker 2: year in Seattle sports, Rams Seahawks or Mariners versus Astros
- 1:06:07Speaker 2: in September to side the Al West. That's a that's
- 1:06:12Speaker 2: a softy. You can only have one question right there.
- 1:06:14Speaker 9: Yeah it is.
- 1:06:15Speaker 6: Wow.
- 1:06:16Speaker 2: Oh, I don't know. I think kind of this only
- 1:06:20Speaker 2: because baseball has series, right.
- 1:06:23Speaker 5: That's a good point. Yes, this is our game, this
- 1:06:26Speaker 5: is the matchup.
- 1:06:28Speaker 2: Yeah, I think the now. Yeah, because if you say
- 1:06:34Speaker 2: this series, yeah, sure, I feel.
- 1:06:36Speaker 3: Like if we were heading into that series right now,
- 1:06:39Speaker 3: we might change our minds.
- 1:06:40Speaker 5: Like I feel like we're in the thick of it
- 1:06:41Speaker 5: right now.
- 1:06:42Speaker 2: So good question. It's a great question, though, I don't know.
- 1:06:45Speaker 2: This game tonight just feels different than we've had a
- 1:06:47Speaker 2: long time, and I think it feels even different than
- 1:06:50Speaker 2: you know, I brought up twenty thirteen and fourteen, those
- 1:06:53Speaker 2: two years where they had to win the final games
- 1:06:55Speaker 2: both against wait for it, the Rams to get the
- 1:06:58Speaker 2: number one overall seed in the NFCU West. That's that's
- 1:07:01Speaker 2: kind of where we're at now. They've had other years.
- 1:07:04Speaker 2: The funny thing with Pete Carroll, every one of their
- 1:07:08Speaker 2: games at the end of the season when they were
- 1:07:10Speaker 2: a playoff team, and even once when they weren't, the
- 1:07:13Speaker 2: final game of the year meant something. Even when they
- 1:07:16Speaker 2: were the number one seed, they never had a chance
- 1:07:18Speaker 2: to do what Homemgan did in two thousand and five,
- 1:07:20Speaker 2: and that's rest people the final week of the year.
- 1:07:23Speaker 2: They haven't had that chancel on the way. So I'd
- 1:07:25Speaker 2: say maybe tonight is over the Mariners game because the
- 1:07:28Speaker 2: Mariners was a series. But that's a a hell of
- 1:07:30Speaker 2: You can only have one question right there. I don't
- 1:07:32Speaker 2: like that at all.
- 1:07:34Speaker 5: Don't make him think.
- 1:07:36Speaker 2: Don't make me think. It's a holidays. We have hockey
- 1:07:38Speaker 2: in football tonight. Yeah it feel free you guys tonight
- 1:07:41Speaker 2: to do do your friend you in a favor, Go
- 1:07:42Speaker 2: ahead and bring the TV down and have two TVs going,
- 1:07:44Speaker 2: you know, help us out there. You go help a
- 1:07:49Speaker 2: brother out a little bit, you know, I need to
- 1:07:50Speaker 2: pay the rent and stuff like that. Let's see, I'm
- 1:07:55Speaker 2: trying to find.
- 1:07:57Speaker 5: Oh, there's so many fantasy questions that came people asked
- 1:07:59Speaker 5: about Pooka.
- 1:08:00Speaker 2: I'mill say this with Pooka. I didn't see it, and
- 1:08:02Speaker 2: if I saw it, maybe I wouldn't even know what
- 1:08:04Speaker 2: it is. Maybe I would. I don't know. I didn't
- 1:08:06Speaker 2: see it. So Softy tweeted out, and you know Softy
- 1:08:11Speaker 2: is Jewish. He tweeted out, I'm Jewish, and I didn't
- 1:08:13Speaker 2: offend me at all. So the deeper question of why
- 1:08:18Speaker 2: there's so much anti semitism in today's world? Why is
- 1:08:22Speaker 2: there just so much hate in this world period? I
- 1:08:23Speaker 2: don't know. That's why we do sports here because we
- 1:08:25Speaker 2: can talk about Seahawks. You know who we hate, and
- 1:08:28Speaker 2: you want to talk about hate. We hate the Rams,
- 1:08:29Speaker 2: we hate McVeigh, we hate Stafford. You know that's who
- 1:08:33Speaker 2: we hate. That's who he hate. Let's see no crack
- 1:08:39Speaker 2: and talk today. But well, Ron Francis starts throwing others
- 1:08:41Speaker 2: on the bus to save his backside. Dumpster Fireman organization.
- 1:08:44Speaker 2: We talked about it one forty five today and I
- 1:08:46Speaker 2: addressed the situation with Lane Lambert. So I appreciate you
- 1:08:48Speaker 2: guys will stay. What was the last time we wore
- 1:08:51Speaker 2: white at home? God? Do you remember?
- 1:08:54Speaker 3: No? I have, because I'm always watching the games on
- 1:09:00Speaker 3: I have a hard time like image image.
- 1:09:04Speaker 2: Have they worn white at home in the past.
- 1:09:05Speaker 9: I don't know.
- 1:09:06Speaker 2: These aren't even whites, they're kind of gray.
- 1:09:08Speaker 3: I just sort of always thought of them as they're
- 1:09:10Speaker 3: away jerseys.
- 1:09:11Speaker 9: Yeah, so that's a great question.
- 1:09:14Speaker 2: I'm not a big jersey guy normally, except for when
- 1:09:17Speaker 2: things aren't going well in a jersey, like when alternative
- 1:09:20Speaker 2: jerseys don't work for you and you lose games, you know,
- 1:09:23Speaker 2: like has happened a lot with local teams here, Like
- 1:09:27Speaker 2: I don't love the Mariners, City just connect ones.
- 1:09:31Speaker 5: To be honest with you, they're not my favorite.
- 1:09:33Speaker 2: They look like they look like beer League softball guy,
- 1:09:36Speaker 2: like playing in the high high end beer league, you know,
- 1:09:39Speaker 2: not like CEA league, but like a league.
- 1:09:41Speaker 5: Like former players beer league.
- 1:09:43Speaker 2: Yeah. Like they got sponsored by you know, True Value
- 1:09:46Speaker 2: hardware store or something, and they got these cool uniforms
- 1:09:49Speaker 2: that you know, don't really match with the black and
- 1:09:51Speaker 2: the blue.
- 1:09:52Speaker 3: It's the black pants with the blue that bothers me.
- 1:09:55Speaker 3: The design doesn't. The design doesn't. But the black, the
- 1:09:58Speaker 3: ones I like.
- 1:09:58Speaker 2: I like the Sunday cream.
- 1:10:00Speaker 9: Yeah, those are beautiful, awesome.
- 1:10:02Speaker 3: They kind of have that old school feel to him,
- 1:10:04Speaker 3: but with a modern look.
- 1:10:06Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, that's yeah. I don't know. I
- 1:10:10Speaker 2: will be curious because here's the thing. If things go
- 1:10:13Speaker 2: well tonight, people will love the Jerseys. If things don't,
- 1:10:17Speaker 2: If things don't go well tonight, people are gonna be
- 1:10:19Speaker 2: calling Chuck and hating the Jerseys tomorrow. That's what's gonna happen.
- 1:10:24Speaker 2: It's as simple as that. Correct, all right, that's it.
- 1:10:30Speaker 2: Were good, We are good. Jimmy's on First by now,
- 1:10:34Speaker 2: I'm sure is jam packed. If not, it will be soon.
- 1:10:38Speaker 2: Why because they all go down there to see one thing,
- 1:10:40Speaker 2: and one thing only. His name is Dave Softy Maller.
- 1:10:42Speaker 2: He'll join us next, all right, Wrapping things up, head
- 1:10:53Speaker 2: down to the Jimmy's on First, running across the looming
- 1:10:56Speaker 2: field where I'm sure it's probably jam packed by now,
- 1:10:58Speaker 2: mister Maller, Is that true? Uh?
- 1:11:00Speaker 10: Yeah, I'd say it's.
- 1:11:02Speaker 18: Uh, it's vacuum packed here, ed, Jimmy's not quite you know,
- 1:11:05Speaker 18: Mariner pregame postgame game five levels on that Friday afternoon. Uh,
- 1:11:10Speaker 18: you know, a month ago or so, but it's getting
- 1:11:12Speaker 18: pretty close. It's also two forty eight in the afternoon.
- 1:11:15Speaker 18: We got a couple hours until kickoff, so I'm assuming
- 1:11:18Speaker 18: by by about four thirty five o'clock he won't be
- 1:11:21Speaker 18: able to breathe in here. So yeah, that's why I
- 1:11:23Speaker 18: brought my snorkel gear so I can find some air
- 1:11:25Speaker 18: at five o'clock when this place is jammed back with
- 1:11:28Speaker 18: Seahawk fans and RAM fans.
- 1:11:30Speaker 2: Humor me just quickly with this one text I wanted
- 1:11:33Speaker 2: to get to because I want to mention this. You
- 1:11:34Speaker 2: mentioned the weather, someone texting, hey, quick, shout out to
- 1:11:37Speaker 2: all the first responders in Linemen helping with the floods
- 1:11:40Speaker 2: and all the stuff going on with the power outages,
- 1:11:42Speaker 2: getting people's power on before the game tonight. Delivery drivers
- 1:11:45Speaker 2: working this weather. Yeah, IM out there working hard. We
- 1:11:48Speaker 2: thank you for your work and hopefully you're able to
- 1:11:50Speaker 2: get to enjoy the game tonight. Which yeah, softy, a guy, somebody, guy,
- 1:11:55Speaker 2: someone man, woman, not sure Madden's sor something. They send
- 1:11:59Speaker 2: something thing in It was very much a borderline. You
- 1:12:03Speaker 2: can only have one, but it's oh no, no, I
- 1:12:05Speaker 2: that was a good question. Okay, okay, what's the bigger
- 1:12:08Speaker 2: matchup this year in Seattle sports ram Seahawks or Mariners
- 1:12:12Speaker 2: Astros series in September?
- 1:12:14Speaker 18: Oo.
- 1:12:16Speaker 2: I said this one because it's a single game, as
- 1:12:18Speaker 2: opposed with.
- 1:12:19Speaker 10: Yeah, you're saying the one from last September you're talking about.
- 1:12:22Speaker 2: Yeah, yes, okay side the Ill West.
- 1:12:24Speaker 10: Yes, I mean this one, I would think.
- 1:12:27Speaker 18: I mean, both teams are fighting for the number one
- 1:12:29Speaker 18: seed in the NFL. I mean, if the Mariners and
- 1:12:31Speaker 18: Astros were playing a series in September, that would have
- 1:12:33Speaker 18: decided who gets the number one seed in the American
- 1:12:37Speaker 18: League and home field advantage throughout. I mean, that's the equivalent,
- 1:12:40Speaker 18: right of this. The only difference is if you know,
- 1:12:42Speaker 18: I mean, obviously this isn't Week eighteen. I get that,
- 1:12:45Speaker 18: but I would say this one right here. I mean,
- 1:12:48Speaker 18: this is this is it for the Hawks. They don't
- 1:12:50Speaker 18: win this one, they're not gonna win the division. They
- 1:12:52Speaker 18: gotta get this one tonight. If they've got any shot
- 1:12:54Speaker 18: of winning the NFC West, they have to get this
- 1:12:56Speaker 18: thing done tonight. So I just feel like, you know
- 1:12:58Speaker 18: what this should be like old lumin Field Primetime, Pete Carroll.
- 1:13:02Speaker 18: Nobody walks in here and wins games on primetime under
- 1:13:04Speaker 18: peak Carrol, and we should get back to doing that
- 1:13:06Speaker 18: under Mike McDonald.
- 1:13:07Speaker 2: Absolutely. Two things for you before you go, One serious,
- 1:13:11Speaker 2: one not serious, all right, serious, I like the serious ones.
- 1:13:15Speaker 2: By the way, we'll get to that one first. You
- 1:13:18Speaker 2: were not offended by whatever Puka did.
- 1:13:20Speaker 18: I don't even know what he did. I'm like, what,
- 1:13:23Speaker 18: Why did I wake up and you just tell me
- 1:13:25Speaker 18: what's supposed to bother me?
- 1:13:26Speaker 2: How's that exactly?
- 1:13:27Speaker 18: How about I wake up and you give me a
- 1:13:29Speaker 18: list of things that I'm supposed to be offended by
- 1:13:31Speaker 18: because I don't even know what the hell he was doing.
- 1:13:33Speaker 18: I saw the video and I still don't get it.
- 1:13:35Speaker 18: I mean, look, maybe he's and I'm Jewish, and I'm like,
- 1:13:37Speaker 18: what the hell I'm supposed to be bothered by this?
- 1:13:41Speaker 18: I mean, he goes on this podcast with these two
- 1:13:43Speaker 18: idiots who apparently have this history of doing things like this.
- 1:13:46Speaker 18: I have no idea. I've never heard of him. I
- 1:13:48Speaker 18: don't know why Puka was on there. Maybe they paid
- 1:13:50Speaker 18: him a bunch of money. I got no clue. First
- 1:13:52Speaker 18: of all, it's easy for me, because I know Puka
- 1:13:54Speaker 18: from his husky days. He's not that kind of guy.
- 1:13:56Speaker 18: And then number two, just use your brains for a second.
- 1:14:00Speaker 18: Use that lump of crap two feet above your ass
- 1:14:03Speaker 18: that's called your brain. Okay, And you tell me right
- 1:14:07Speaker 18: now if you believe that Pooka Nakuwa honestly went on
- 1:14:11Speaker 18: a podcast, was asked to do an anti semitic dance,
- 1:14:14Speaker 18: knew it was anti semitic, and did it anyway. For
- 1:14:19Speaker 18: a guy who's one of the top five players in
- 1:14:20Speaker 18: football at his position, you think he's really that.
- 1:14:23Speaker 2: Dumb because what you're doing here and this is really dangerous.
- 1:14:27Speaker 2: You're using common sense.
- 1:14:28Speaker 18: Well, but you know, Ian, I would say this, if
- 1:14:30Speaker 18: you want to be offended by it, be offended by it,
- 1:14:32Speaker 18: that's fine. But what kind of bugs me a little
- 1:14:35Speaker 18: bit is people that are mad that I'm not offended
- 1:14:37Speaker 18: by it, right right right? I mean, if you want
- 1:14:38Speaker 18: to wake up and be offended by it, that's your prerogative,
- 1:14:41Speaker 18: that's your decision. You live your life and you do
- 1:14:43Speaker 18: whatever the hell you want. But I don't even know
- 1:14:46Speaker 18: what the hell this thing was. I don't even know
- 1:14:48Speaker 18: who these guys are. Dick actually asked me about it
- 1:14:50Speaker 18: yesterday on the show, and I had no idea what
- 1:14:52Speaker 18: he was talking about, Like, what what is this? So
- 1:14:55Speaker 18: I'm sorry I did for you. I didn't realize I
- 1:14:57Speaker 18: was supposed to be offended by it. Will you please
- 1:14:59Speaker 18: have people text into four nine, four to five, five
- 1:15:01Speaker 18: to one things that I am now supposed to be
- 1:15:03Speaker 18: offended by, and I will see if I actually are
- 1:15:05Speaker 18: offended by them.
- 1:15:07Speaker 10: And I would come back.
- 1:15:08Speaker 2: I've got the first one front in the Maple Valley
- 1:15:11Speaker 2: is texting in right now.
- 1:15:12Speaker 9: Yeah.
- 1:15:12Speaker 2: Yeah, Are you offended by the Seahawks jerseys tonight?
- 1:15:16Speaker 10: That may will be? I will be.
- 1:15:18Speaker 18: And I was about to tweet that out today too,
- 1:15:20Speaker 18: that we're as fired up as I am for this game,
- 1:15:22Speaker 18: that these uniforms are gonna piss me off.
- 1:15:24Speaker 2: Aren't they know?
- 1:15:25Speaker 18: They'll drive me nuts? A last time Dick and I
- 1:15:27Speaker 18: were at Jamies was for a Mariner game. We saw
- 1:15:29Speaker 18: a guy walking right down Royal Bram right out seat
- 1:15:31Speaker 18: side T mobile and I swear to God, this is true.
- 1:15:35Speaker 18: Dick can confirm this story, right, Dick. I looked at
- 1:15:37Speaker 18: Dick and I said, hey, an Oregon fan, and you said, no,
- 1:15:39Speaker 18: it's the guy wearing that new Seahawks.
- 1:15:41Speaker 10: It was a Cooper Cup jersey. I thought it was
- 1:15:43Speaker 10: a freaking Oregon jersey.
- 1:15:45Speaker 2: So you've seen him fairly up close, and listen it
- 1:15:48Speaker 2: is I will show.
- 1:15:49Speaker 18: I will wait to pass judgment until the game starts.
