• 2:16
  Speaker 4: Ashley's here, Bucky's here. My name is Chuck Powell, and
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: we got three more hours of radio plan for you,
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: including Greg Bell stopping by here at seven o five
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: talks to more Seahawks football. But first, let's get to
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: your frost Brood course, like juice chill headlines. The Seahawks
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: are on by a lot of fools in the National
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: Football League are playing this week, then you know that
• 2:43
  Speaker 4: there was a chance to not play and still have
• 2:46
  Speaker 4: a shot at the Super Bowl.
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: Boy, you guys really missed an opportunity to hear research.
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: Seahawks are on by until next week, and so yeah,
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: they'll just get to watch football this weekend. Like the
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: rest of US Wildcard playoffs starts Saturday. It'll be Carol
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: Line and the Rams getting it started, Bears and Packers
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: the Saturday night game. There'll be three games on Sunday,
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: and there's even a Monday night Wildcard playoff game featuring
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: the Houston Texans and Aaron Rodgers and the Pittsburgh Steelers
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: in Pittsburgh, and so man, great time of the year.
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: Wild Card Playoffs get started on Saturday. Black Monday yesterday
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: caused the firings of Jonathan Gannon in Arizona. And the
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: most notable thing I think in the National Football League
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: and certainly are in Seattle, was Pete Carroll being let
• 3:32
  Speaker 4: go by the Las Vegas Raiders after just one year.
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: Speaking of writing on the wall, seems that Pete Carroll
• 3:39
  Speaker 4: has coached his last game as head coach in the
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: National Football League, but what a phenomenal run by Pete Carroll.
• 3:45
  Speaker 4: College football playoffs are going to resume on Thursday. There'll
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: be one game on Thursday, one game on Friday. In
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: the meantime, the college football transfer portal remains open and
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: all sorts of crazy stuff going on, including quarterbacks backing
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: out of commitments and then sighting somewhere else the very
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: next day. Of course, thus far, nothing really all that
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: meaty from Washington at this point, but certainly that thing
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: is ever changing and we will keep our eye on it.
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: I didn't even mention that the crack And won last
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: night five to one. Mike Menon got to call five
• 4:23
  Speaker 4: goals successful goals for the crack And last night, and
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: they just wiped out the Calgary Flames.
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: It's the kids.
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: It's always been the kids getting the job done for
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: the Kracking during this recent hot streak, and they will
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: play again tonight.
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: It will be the.
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: Third back to back in fifteen days for the Seattle Kracking.
• 4:43
  Speaker 4: Ever fits, you will join us at eight thirty to
• 4:45

• 4:50
  Speaker 4: play every single hour throughout our broadcast day and win
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: a pair of tickets to an upcoming cracking game by

  Speaker 4: ninety five ninety five College basketball U plays Purdue tomorrow.
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: That's one of the best teams in the country and
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: from Major League Baseball. Not a lot to report from
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: the hot stove, but cal Raley was named Breakthrough Athlete
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: of the Year by Sports Illustrated yesterday, to which Tom
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: Verducci explained, he's been good.
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: For a while.
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, but still in terms of his starter, I
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: think that's a great call.
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: Our guy, cal Rawley just kind of births.
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: Other people now know him. He's a household name.
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: Big Dumper is a household name in every major league
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: city in America and certainly in Toronto.
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you know him really well, Let's talk to Greg

  Speaker 4: Now with News, here's Greg Bell with Chuck and Bud.
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: What are you gonna do with an entire weekend? To yourself? Greg,
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: I mean, I would hope that you're working on some big, big,
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: you know, deep investigative article. You've got time to do
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: it now over the weekend.
• 6:18
  Speaker 8: Yeah, more work. That sounds like something I want to
• 6:20
  Speaker 8: do this weekend. Maybe the opposite of that.
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: Okay, you can They're two ways. There are two doors
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: you can take here.
• 6:28
  Speaker 8: Yeah, the weekend with my family for.
• 6:33
  Speaker 4: H Well, I want to ask we're talking about this
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: about a half hour ago.
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: Clint Kubiak.
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: With all of these coaching changes that are being made,
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: his name just keeps popping up. I think I saw
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: an article yesterday that went as far as saying he's
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: the number one candidate in Atlanta.
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: So are the.
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: Seahawks prepared for this that throughout these playoffs with all
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: these head coaching changes, I think we're up to six
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: vacancies now that they're going to have to protect their
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: oc from all of these suitors.
• 7:06
  Speaker 8: Well, they're already already. And I asked Mike McDonald yesterday
• 7:09
  Speaker 8: about this the reason why he's the emerging number one
• 7:12
  Speaker 8: candy of Atlanta. He's the only one known that the
• 7:15
  Speaker 8: Falcons have requested permission to talk to. And Mike McDonald
• 7:20
  Speaker 8: confirmed that yesterday that so far Clint Kuback is the
• 7:23
  Speaker 8: only one on the Seahawks staff that the team has
• 7:26
  Speaker 8: asked permission for and McDonald said he supports that. It's
• 7:29
  Speaker 8: a bittersweet thing for him. He said, he'd of course
• 7:31
  Speaker 8: love to have kobiak, but he's not going to stop
• 7:33
  Speaker 8: someone from their growth and moving up in the ladder.
• 7:37
  Speaker 8: And Clint Kubyac is in thirty eight years old, just
• 7:40
  Speaker 8: like Mike McDonald is. He's in the same situation McDonald
• 7:43
  Speaker 8: was when the Seahawks hired him. He's never been a
• 7:44
  Speaker 8: head coach before, a successful coordinator. This is what happens
• 7:48
  Speaker 8: when you're a top seed in the NFL. He's right now.
• 7:52
  Speaker 8: Clint Kuback is last year as Ben Johnson the Lions
• 7:55
  Speaker 8: offensive coordinator from the top one of the top playoff seeds.
• 7:59
  Speaker 8: The attention you get the offense was third in the league.
• 8:03
  Speaker 8: He ran the ball third most, third highest rate in
• 8:06
  Speaker 8: the league, and he had a downfield passing game that
• 8:09
  Speaker 8: produced a Pro Bowl quarterback and the number one receiving
• 8:13
  Speaker 8: yards receiving the receiver in the NFL. So it follows
• 8:18
  Speaker 8: and I'm sure the Browns are going to be interested
• 8:20
  Speaker 8: in him. As far as your point about the Seahawk
• 8:24
  Speaker 8: need to protect him through the playoffs, the NFL rules
• 8:26
  Speaker 8: will do that for him. The playoff bye week is
• 8:29
  Speaker 8: the only week that coaches from a top sea can
• 8:32
  Speaker 8: do interviews, and then after Sunday this comings weekend. After
• 8:38
  Speaker 8: that he's hands off and you can't interview him again
• 8:42
  Speaker 8: until potentially the week if there would be a bye
• 8:45
  Speaker 8: before the Seahawks would play in a Super Bowl. We're
• 8:47
  Speaker 8: getting ahad of ourselves. But the point is that this
• 8:50
  Speaker 8: bye week, this Atlanta asked early this week because one
• 8:54
  Speaker 8: they were the earliest to have a vacancy on Sunday night,
• 8:57
  Speaker 8: and two they have this week only before this he'll
• 9:00
  Speaker 8: go back Kubiak to coaching the Seahawks.
• 9:03
  Speaker 6: What is your just kind of final verdict of I mean,
• 9:06
  Speaker 6: at the end of the regular season, getting ready for
• 9:08
  Speaker 6: the postseason. When it comes to the offense, I mean,
• 9:11
  Speaker 6: it's been potent. You said, you know, they finished year third,
• 9:14
  Speaker 6: I think and that's like for points per game, right.
• 9:16
  Speaker 6: I mean, it's third as far as that goes, But
• 9:19
  Speaker 6: it's been there's been moments where it's like this is
• 9:22
  Speaker 6: they run it, run it, maybe not super effectively, but
• 9:24
  Speaker 6: that's fine. It opens up for some of the downfield stuff,
• 9:27
  Speaker 6: the bigger, the big plays. And so what is your
• 9:30
  Speaker 6: final verdict as far as how just the whole thing
• 9:34
  Speaker 6: looks as far as week one to week eighteen, Well, they.
• 9:40
  Speaker 8: Are peaking exactly the right time, and only right now
• 9:42
  Speaker 8: are they playing the way McDonald and Kubiak designed them
• 9:45
  Speaker 8: back in April to play. And if you're going to
• 9:48
  Speaker 8: do it, you don't want to do it in October
• 9:50
  Speaker 8: and not in January. So they're doing it the right way.
• 9:53
  Speaker 8: But you're right, it was a journey and it was
• 9:55
  Speaker 8: an up and down. It took them all the way
• 9:57
  Speaker 8: until the last three games, and now the last three
• 10:00
  Speaker 8: games one hundred and seventy three yards, one hundred and
• 10:03
  Speaker 8: sixty three yards, and one hundred eighty yards its season
• 10:06
  Speaker 8: high against the forty nine ers, all in rushing. So
• 10:09
  Speaker 8: it is now only now where they wanted it to
• 10:12
  Speaker 8: be all season. The fact is it was going to
• 10:15
  Speaker 8: take a while to get there, and it was we
• 10:16
  Speaker 8: talked about this too. If this Seahawks team was better
• 10:20
  Speaker 8: in September than December, they were problems. And we also
• 10:23
  Speaker 8: said way back in August in September that the December
• 10:25
  Speaker 8: team would be so much better on offense, and it was,
• 10:29
  Speaker 8: and it took until then for the whole running game
• 10:32
  Speaker 8: to mesh, for the blocking to be what it needed
• 10:35
  Speaker 8: to be. Oh, by the way, their needs and McDonald
• 10:38
  Speaker 8: did yesterday GiB some, but there need to be a
• 10:40
  Speaker 8: lot of kudos to Josh Jones thrown in there when
• 10:44
  Speaker 8: Charles Cross was injured. The last three games that they
• 10:47
  Speaker 8: run for one seventy one, one sixty three and one
• 10:49
  Speaker 8: eighty was Josh Jones at the left tackle position. He
• 10:52
  Speaker 8: played hurt Saturday night. They band aidd and pharmaceuticaled him
• 10:57
  Speaker 8: into playing that game. He was a questionable coming into
• 11:00
  Speaker 8: the game. He had ankle and knee injuries. He got
• 11:03
  Speaker 8: hurt again during the game and was in the tent
• 11:05
  Speaker 8: during the third quarter. McDonald's said yesterday, we really appreciated
• 11:09
  Speaker 8: him getting through that game on Saturday, which is parlance
• 11:13
  Speaker 8: for he needed a few extra helps medically to get
• 11:18
  Speaker 8: through that game. And he said, McNown said, we needed him.
• 11:22
  Speaker 8: They really did not want to go with an undrafted
• 11:24
  Speaker 8: rookie third string left tackle against the forty nine ers
• 11:28
  Speaker 8: and Amari Kite that they had just put on the
• 11:29
  Speaker 8: practice from the practice squad to the active ross last week.
• 11:32
  Speaker 8: And Josh Jones, the eight year the swing veteran that
• 11:36
  Speaker 8: they signed. He did his job they signed him for.
• 11:38
  Speaker 8: He's played really well. Now Charles Crossick's like he'll be
• 11:41
  Speaker 8: back playing for the first game on next Saturday. I'm
• 11:44
  Speaker 8: saying it's going to be Saturday. We can explain the
• 11:46
  Speaker 8: other if you wants.
• 11:47
  Speaker 4: I actually love the Amari Kite debut performance because as
• 11:51
  Speaker 4: soon as Jones was out, the next camera shot you
• 11:53
  Speaker 4: saw was Kite was in the huddle like he was
• 11:56
  Speaker 4: so ready to be out there, and then and then
• 11:59
  Speaker 4: he just gets a couple of snaps and then he
• 12:01
  Speaker 4: leaves and it's like, Okay, I didn't.
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: Hurt the team in my debut.
• 12:06
  Speaker 4: Josh is ready to go, and you just saw this
• 12:08
  Speaker 4: giant grin on his face on the sidelines, like, well,
• 12:12
  Speaker 4: that was fun.
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: I'm an NFL football player now.
• 12:15
  Speaker 8: Well, he had he had two snaps on offense through
• 12:18
  Speaker 8: the first seventeen games they ran. At the end of
• 12:21
  Speaker 8: that drive. It was a third down play.
• 12:23
  Speaker 9: They ran away from him to the right side, not
• 12:25
  Speaker 9: the least forty nine ers are ready for, because there
• 12:28
  Speaker 9: were about four to forty nine ers standing over there
• 12:30
  Speaker 9: to stop the play and force the punt. And then
• 12:32
  Speaker 9: Cross came back on but the I kite and then
• 12:35
  Speaker 9: he impressed them way back in the spring, but not
• 12:38
  Speaker 9: enough that they wanted him to be the front left tackle.
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: Sure, Greg Bell is with us our Seahawks inside. He
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: could follow him.
• 12:43
  Speaker 4: At the Newstribune dot com for complete Seahawks coverage and
• 12:46
  Speaker 4: of course at g Bell Seattle there on X. Let's
• 12:50
  Speaker 4: talk about injuries. I mentioned this yesterday. I mean, this
• 12:53
  Speaker 4: is about as healthy as you can be. You talk
• 12:55
  Speaker 4: about the car crashes every week in the National Football League.
• 12:58
  Speaker 4: To get through the season, seventeen of these games, and
• 13:03
  Speaker 4: to have a buy to be this healthy, and to
• 13:06
  Speaker 4: also get the benefit of two weeks to rest and
• 13:10
  Speaker 4: get everybody like Kobe Bryant and Charles Cross and everybody
• 13:14
  Speaker 4: up to speed for that first playoff game in two weeks,
• 13:17
  Speaker 4: I mean, how valuable is that compared to home field
• 13:20
  Speaker 4: advantage and by week and not having to face anybody
• 13:24
  Speaker 4: this week? I mean, I think that's as a valuable
• 13:27
  Speaker 4: a commodity that you earned as anything.
• 13:30
  Speaker 8: Normally. Yes, but the Seahawks have been so good Chuck
• 13:33
  Speaker 8: plugging in Tyokatta and player Cody White before he now
• 13:37
  Speaker 8: got hurt in his oun injurieserve of guys who've been hurt,
• 13:40
  Speaker 8: and then Phillins have to come in. They do it
• 13:44
  Speaker 8: need Kobe Bryant back. He's not as a slam dunk
• 13:46
  Speaker 8: as Charles Cross as he'll play in the first playoff game,
• 13:49
  Speaker 8: but Tyocott has been great for him. Ocatta had a
• 13:52
  Speaker 8: couple of great open field tackles early in the game
• 13:54
  Speaker 8: again against the forty nine ers. I still think the
• 13:57
  Speaker 8: most important thing about to buy is you have one
• 14:00
  Speaker 8: fewer game to win to go to the super Bowl,
• 14:02
  Speaker 8: one fewer game to get tripped up, one fewer game
• 14:05
  Speaker 8: that maybe the matchup isn't exactly what you want, one
• 14:08
  Speaker 8: fewer game that you might have a turnover game that
• 14:11
  Speaker 8: makes what should be a win for you turn into
• 14:14
  Speaker 8: a struggle. Just one fewer game. And the way the
• 14:18
  Speaker 8: new NFL playoff structure is only one team in each
• 14:21
  Speaker 8: conference gets that top seed, and that's the biggest care
• 14:24
  Speaker 8: of that. But yes, the corollary of having the week
• 14:27
  Speaker 8: off after eighteen games, even guys who excuse me, too
• 14:32
  Speaker 8: many plane flights, even the guys who have even guys
• 14:36
  Speaker 8: who are not on the injured list are benefiting from
• 14:38
  Speaker 8: this week. Just because you're not on the injury report,
• 14:41
  Speaker 8: it doesn't mean you're not hurt. They're all hurt. I mean,
• 14:45
  Speaker 8: Sam Donald, all of them are hurting in some way
• 14:48
  Speaker 8: and that's the big value this week. So to that end,
• 14:50
  Speaker 8: McDonald's going to be given Yesterday was meeting day, recuperation
• 14:55
  Speaker 8: day in the training room. Today he's giving them off.
• 14:58
  Speaker 8: Tomorrow and Thursday are going to be the only two
• 15:01
  Speaker 8: practice days of the week, and then they get Friday, Saturday,
• 15:03
  Speaker 8: and Sunday off, So it's like two thirds of a
• 15:05
  Speaker 8: full week off of these guys. That is huge. In January,
• 15:09
  Speaker 8: you're going to see a much fresher team come back
• 15:11
  Speaker 8: on the field Monday.
• 15:14
  Speaker 6: Well just one more I mean, the idea it's not
• 15:16
  Speaker 6: maybe as urgent considering how Rashid Shaheed has now kind
• 15:21
  Speaker 6: of been thrust into that role on the offense.
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: But Tory Horton, do you think he'll be back for
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: the playoffs?
• 15:27
  Speaker 8: Nope? It sounds like McDonald said they don't expect him
• 15:30
  Speaker 8: to be probably not playing until next year. Shin condition.
• 15:35
  Speaker 8: I tried to pinpoint was it a fracture, was it
• 15:38
  Speaker 8: a stress fracture? And he just said it was a
• 15:41
  Speaker 8: shin And they don't expect him to be back, and
• 15:44
  Speaker 8: you're right, the urgency for him to be back much less.
• 15:47
  Speaker 8: There is a chicken in the egg story behind the
• 15:50
  Speaker 8: trade of Shaheed and the injury to Horton, And we're
• 15:53
  Speaker 8: not sure which came first, because Horton got injured to
• 15:57
  Speaker 8: night he had the two touchdowns against Washington on November two,
• 16:02
  Speaker 8: but he didn't as far as McDonald has told us,
• 16:05
  Speaker 8: he didn't disclose it or it didn't be comparent until
• 16:08
  Speaker 8: the midweek following, and by then they had already traded
• 16:11
  Speaker 8: for Shahed. In the time from the game Sunday night
• 16:13
  Speaker 8: to the practice Wednesday, they traded for Shahed, I'm pretty
• 16:16
  Speaker 8: sure the Seahawks had some inkling that it wasn't great
• 16:18
  Speaker 8: with Horton, which is why they gave two third round,
• 16:21
  Speaker 8: third day picks to the Saints for Shahed. But yes,
• 16:25
  Speaker 8: Shaheed has taken what Horton was doing, and now all
• 16:28
  Speaker 8: of a sudden, you got to consider resigning Shahit. His
• 16:31
  Speaker 8: rookie contract ends with the end of this season, and
• 16:34
  Speaker 8: he has been I talked to Jay Harbor about him
• 16:36
  Speaker 8: in the return game. I was talking about his some
• 16:39
  Speaker 8: of his schemes and some of the things he does
• 16:40
  Speaker 8: strategically Harba, and he said, I got Shaheed making everything
• 16:44
  Speaker 8: I do look good. So I would expect them to
• 16:48
  Speaker 8: hit Shihed to be one of the next guys that
• 16:50
  Speaker 8: they re up. But they can't resign everyone, and they don't.
• 16:53
  Speaker 8: That's the way it is every year. Kenneth Walker, Kobe Bryant,
• 16:57
  Speaker 8: Riek Wolan, Rashid Shaheb, all of those contracts are ending
• 17:01
  Speaker 8: this year.
• 17:02
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I had heard about Horton, but I haven't heard
• 17:04
  Speaker 4: an update on Arroyo. Last I heard what regular season
• 17:08
  Speaker 4: was over. He wasn't exactly playing that go to football
• 17:12
  Speaker 4: before his injury. And right now they seem to have
• 17:15
  Speaker 4: some good going with Barner and Sobbered that little combination.
• 17:18
  Speaker 4: So what's the update on his injuries? He gonna be
• 17:20
  Speaker 4: ready for the playoffs and is there even a role
• 17:22
  Speaker 4: for him here?
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: As we get things started.
• 17:26
  Speaker 8: There's a chance he Arroyo, Halani, and Chas Surat will
• 17:30
  Speaker 8: all come back. McDonald said, and they can. They have
• 17:34
  Speaker 8: three elevations, three activations from injured reserve left to use
• 17:38
  Speaker 8: in the playoffs, so those three could come back. Horton
• 17:41
  Speaker 8: being of the four that our injuries there, Horton would
• 17:44
  Speaker 8: be the one that won't come back. So yes, there's
• 17:46
  Speaker 8: a possibly they'll all come back. And there is a
• 17:48
  Speaker 8: role for him because of his size, because of his
• 17:50
  Speaker 8: ability to be in the slot and play outside. They
• 17:53
  Speaker 8: wouldn't mind having an extra receiving threat for the playoffs.
• 17:56
  Speaker 8: And you're right, he hasn't had the production that maybe
• 17:59
  Speaker 8: they've envisioned the st of the season for him, But yeah,
• 18:02
  Speaker 8: there are plays in the playbook specifically for Arroyo if
• 18:05
  Speaker 8: they wouldn't mind putting back out in the slot and
• 18:08
  Speaker 8: creating some matchup advantages for them.
• 18:11
  Speaker 6: How much of the one hundred and eighty yards rushing
• 18:14
  Speaker 6: against the Niners do you expect? Is this team catching
• 18:17
  Speaker 6: up to what Klint Kubiak and Mike McDonald want them
• 18:21
  Speaker 6: to do. Obviously from the beginning of the season, but
• 18:23
  Speaker 6: now it's flourishing. How much is that that they it
• 18:26
  Speaker 6: Sundale's back or you know that the offensive line has
• 18:30
  Speaker 6: figured out what that is And how much of that
• 18:32
  Speaker 6: was on the running backs hitting the holes where they're
• 18:35
  Speaker 6: supposed to, or it was do you put a lion's
• 18:37
  Speaker 6: share of that on the Niners and how banged up
• 18:40
  Speaker 6: they are.
• 18:41
  Speaker 8: Well, it's true in the Niners defense as shell itself,
• 18:45
  Speaker 8: but they also did it against the Panthers. They also
• 18:48
  Speaker 8: did against the Rams. So now it's becoming a trend
• 18:51
  Speaker 8: no matter who they're playing. And I still think there
• 18:55
  Speaker 8: are times that Kenneth Walker has four or five guys
• 18:57
  Speaker 8: waiting on him like he's a bus rolling up to
• 18:59
  Speaker 8: the transfer center on especially on stretch out side plays.
• 19:03
  Speaker 8: So they're not all the way there yet. And as
• 19:05
  Speaker 8: McDonald said after the game Sunday night, we started really well,
• 19:09
  Speaker 8: running the ball one hundred and fifteen yards in the
• 19:11
  Speaker 8: first half, their most in two seasons, and then they
• 19:14
  Speaker 8: didn't run a lot in the third into the fourth quarter,
• 19:17
  Speaker 8: and he said that they've got to be better about
• 19:19
  Speaker 8: countering what the defense cat. He said the forty nine
• 19:21
  Speaker 8: Ers started to counter their run plays and specifically taking
• 19:25
  Speaker 8: away some of the outside zone and in the gaps,
• 19:27
  Speaker 8: and that the Seahawks didn't have a counter to the
• 19:29
  Speaker 8: Niners counter. McDonald's point was we need to play a
• 19:32
  Speaker 8: four quarter game. So that's the next frontier for them.
• 19:35
  Speaker 8: They're getting the yards, they're getting Sharbonnet and Walker producing,
• 19:39
  Speaker 8: but now can they do it for four quarters? And
• 19:42
  Speaker 8: that'll be the challenge for the divisional playoff game? Can
• 19:45
  Speaker 8: we have a four quarter running game instead of one
• 19:47
  Speaker 8: that just gets yards and chunks one hundred and eighty yards.
• 19:51
  Speaker 8: A lot of them came in big runs, so they
• 19:53
  Speaker 8: think of the nineteen yards on third and seventeen by Walker. That's,
• 19:57
  Speaker 8: by the way, Now three weeks in a row they've
• 19:59
  Speaker 8: gotten the and long looked like a white flag run
• 20:01
  Speaker 8: turned into a first down. And by the way, since
• 20:04
  Speaker 8: you're talking about it, no one's talking about Jake Bobo
• 20:06
  Speaker 8: on that play. I don't know if you noticed he
• 20:09
  Speaker 8: was in the slot on the right side on the
• 20:10
  Speaker 8: third and seventeen. I went back yesterday. I was looking
• 20:14
  Speaker 8: at the film when the huddle broke and Donald gave
• 20:18
  Speaker 8: the offense to play call. Cooper cup tapped Jake Bobo
• 20:23
  Speaker 8: on the back as they were breaking the huddle, meaning
• 20:26
  Speaker 8: it turned out to me, if this block's on you, sir, well,
• 20:31
  Speaker 8: Jake Bobo took out three forty nine ers. He bought
• 20:34
  Speaker 8: three different forty nine ers on that play that led
• 20:38
  Speaker 8: to the game, And I asked McDonald about that play yesterday.
• 20:41
  Speaker 8: Bobo's only played seventeen percent of the offensive snaps this year.
• 20:45
  Speaker 8: He's played like one hundred plus snaps when he was
• 20:48
  Speaker 8: in the three hundreds the first two years, and he's
• 20:52
  Speaker 8: not exactly been happy with his role. Cody White has
• 20:55
  Speaker 8: emerged and Bobo has often been a healthy scratch. In fact,
• 20:58
  Speaker 8: he didn't play six games this year. And McDonald's said,
• 21:01
  Speaker 8: that's what I need. That's the kind of seahawk I need.
• 21:04
  Speaker 8: That's what I'm talking about. A guy who's always ready,
• 21:07
  Speaker 8: who's selfless, who may not be happy with his own
• 21:09
  Speaker 8: individual situation, but is benefiting the team, and he's there
• 21:13
  Speaker 8: when we need him. And he was there on third
• 21:15
  Speaker 8: and nineteen taking out three forty nine ers on three
• 21:18
  Speaker 8: different blocks.
• 21:18
  Speaker 3: Well, there you go.
• 21:19
  Speaker 4: There's your deep the story that you can do this weekend.
• 21:23
  Speaker 8: How I'm already thinking, yeah, I'm got to talk to
• 21:26
  Speaker 8: him tomorrow.
• 21:26
  Speaker 4: How did Jake Bobo go from a guy that can
• 21:29
  Speaker 4: catch everything thrown his way to an offensive lineman, because
• 21:33
  Speaker 4: that's kind of what he's become.
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: Just a blocker out there.
• 21:36
  Speaker 4: All right, man, Thank you, we appreciate it. We'll talk
• 21:38
  Speaker 4: to you again tomorrow.
• 21:39
  Speaker 8: All right, Happy Tuesday.
• 21:41
  Speaker 4: All right, Greg Bell our Seahawks inside of joining us

  Speaker 4: A couple non believers out there, and I know we're
• 22:14
  Speaker 4: not quite to the holiday season just yet, but I
• 22:18
  Speaker 4: think there is time today to talk about the power
• 22:22
  Speaker 4: of draftness. It's next Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM.
• 22:25
  Speaker 4: Talalap Resort Casino and quil Ceda Creek Casino where the

  Speaker 4: All attendees of the event must be twenty one or over.
• 22:57
  Speaker 4: One's Kate gonna get one of these. It's not encouraged that.
• 23:03
  Speaker 4: I wonder my children.
• 23:05
  Speaker 6: I don't really want her competing in combat sports and
• 23:09
  Speaker 6: training in it, you know, learning it.
• 23:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't really want that.
• 23:13
  Speaker 6: No, no, no, I think maybe you and I could
• 23:15
  Speaker 6: do something not fighting, but like some sort of gladiator competent,
• 23:20
  Speaker 6: you know, like maybe it's standing on a little balance,
• 23:21
  Speaker 6: being only a couple of inches off the ground, you know,
• 23:23
  Speaker 6: with the helmet, and then smacking each other with a
• 23:26
  Speaker 6: pugel sticking.
• 23:28
  Speaker 3: Something like that. Yeah, yeah, well maybe those.
• 23:32
  Speaker 6: Big Actually, I know what I want to do. I
• 23:34
  Speaker 6: want you to do the run where you have to
• 23:36
  Speaker 6: try to shoot the target. But I'm up with the
• 23:38
  Speaker 6: tennis balls shooting at you.
• 23:41
  Speaker 3: You know, it was my favorite.
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: It's a great idea.
• 23:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that was my favorite event.
• 23:47
  Speaker 6: And then I'll watch you do the eliminator. You can
• 23:49
  Speaker 6: do it, because I wouldn't get about it.
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: I just remember the one, Yeah, the first one.
• 23:57
  Speaker 6: I don't want to really do it very high. I
• 23:59
  Speaker 6: definitely don't want to be on that big pedestal to
• 24:01
  Speaker 6: fall all the way down. It's a pit too far.
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we'll just do it. I might hit the bottom
• 24:06
  Speaker 3: of the pham pit.
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: Oh, you can just jump down.
• 24:09
  Speaker 3: Just do it a ground levels fine with me. They
• 24:12
  Speaker 3: just hit each other with the hitting part would hurt more. Well,
• 24:16
  Speaker 3: good morning. It is chucking buck in the mornings.
• 24:18
  Speaker 4: And of course we got a couple of weeks you
• 24:20
  Speaker 4: get ready for Seahawks playoff football because we've got to
• 24:24
  Speaker 4: buy suck on that San Francisco.
• 24:26
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 24:27
  Speaker 4: And so I I want to discuss this morning because
• 24:31
  Speaker 4: you do have to be reminded.
• 24:32
  Speaker 3: I think of this.
• 24:33
  Speaker 4: He just can't do it during the season. I mean,
• 24:35
  Speaker 4: I think that's cheating. It's like only going to church
• 24:38
  Speaker 4: on Christmas and Easter. I need to remind you of
• 24:42
  Speaker 4: the power.
• 24:43
  Speaker 3: Of draftness every once in a while.
• 24:45
  Speaker 4: And look in all seriousness, like two of my favorite
• 24:48
  Speaker 4: things about sports as a fan. I I never really
• 24:52
  Speaker 4: was one that poured too much emotion into my watching
• 24:56
  Speaker 4: of sports. You guys are the ones that turned me
• 24:59
  Speaker 4: into a fool Seattle, and so I never really poured
• 25:03
  Speaker 4: much emotion into it. I was always about the puzzle
• 25:06
  Speaker 4: making aspects. So two of my favorite things are the draft,
• 25:09
  Speaker 4: as you might have picked up on the NFL Draft,
• 25:12
  Speaker 4: and then also like the Major League Baseball roster construction.
• 25:17
  Speaker 4: Two probably my two favorite topics to discuss in sports
• 25:21
  Speaker 4: are those two things. And yet there are still a
• 25:24
  Speaker 4: lot of people and I realize I go too far
• 25:26
  Speaker 4: the other way, but man, there are still other people
• 25:29
  Speaker 4: that think the draft is just a crap shoot and
• 25:31
  Speaker 4: a waste of time, and that prospects should be traded
• 25:34
  Speaker 4: away because they're nothing. And it's just I don't know
• 25:39
  Speaker 4: how much more evidence that you need. I mean, these
• 25:42
  Speaker 4: are the areas that you need to thrive in. These
• 25:46
  Speaker 4: are what sets your roster up, and then you use
• 25:50
  Speaker 4: free agency and trades to fill in the gaps. That's
• 25:54
  Speaker 4: how it has to work. And I realized there are
• 25:56
  Speaker 4: a couple of examples in baseball, particularly where teams used
• 26:00
  Speaker 4: free agency to end up buying championships, but more often
• 26:05
  Speaker 4: than not, and especially in football, because you have a
• 26:09
  Speaker 4: salary cap, you can't just have an owner that goes
• 26:11
  Speaker 4: out there and spends a trillion dollars compared to the
• 26:14
  Speaker 4: rest of them just.
• 26:14
  Speaker 3: Spending a billion.
• 26:16
  Speaker 4: You've got to come through in the draft, and if you,
• 26:18
  Speaker 4: as a Seahawks fan, don't understand it, then I don't
• 26:21
  Speaker 4: know if there's any getting through to you. Because think
• 26:25
  Speaker 4: about what the Seahawks did between twenty twelve and twenty twenty.
• 26:32
  Speaker 4: They went ninety eight, forty five and one. It was
• 26:35
  Speaker 4: the best run in franchise history. Eight playoff appearances in
• 26:39
  Speaker 4: nine years, four Division titles, two Super Bowl appearances, one
• 26:44
  Speaker 4: Super Bowl victory, and a nine year span. And that
• 26:48
  Speaker 4: was certainly accentuated and bolstered by Michael Bennett, Cliff Abril,
• 26:55
  Speaker 4: Marshawn Lynch some of the additions that they made over
• 26:59
  Speaker 4: that span of time. But you're out of your mind
• 27:02
  Speaker 4: if you don't think that that team's foundation was the
• 27:05
  Speaker 4: twenty ten, twenty eleven, and twenty twelve draft when they
• 27:09
  Speaker 4: got Russell Locoombe Earl, Thomas Golden, Tate, Cam Chancellor, James Carpenter,
• 27:16
  Speaker 4: kJ Wright, Richard Sherman, Malcolm Smith, Bruce Irvin, Billy Wagner,
• 27:21
  Speaker 4: Russell Wilson. That's in a three year span, and those
• 27:26
  Speaker 4: are just the stars. I didn't even mention the other
• 27:29
  Speaker 4: starters that they got during that stretch as well. I mean,
• 27:32
  Speaker 4: that foundation that they found through the draft is what
• 27:37
  Speaker 4: made them a perennial super Bowl contender for nine fricking years.
• 27:41
  Speaker 4: And you know, for those that like we should have
• 27:43
  Speaker 4: been a dynasty, we should have won more, I agree
• 27:45
  Speaker 4: with you. That didn't happen, but certainly you were set
• 27:50
  Speaker 4: up for that to happen. And now guess what you're
• 27:53
  Speaker 4: getting set up for that to happen again. From twenty
• 27:57
  Speaker 4: thirteen to twenty twenty one, that was some bad drafting
• 28:02
  Speaker 4: at best mediocre drafting. That was some bad to mediocre
• 28:06
  Speaker 4: draft And that's a long stretch of time twenty thirteen
• 28:09
  Speaker 4: to twenty twenty one where you didn't have near the
• 28:12
  Speaker 4: success that you had from twenty ten to twenty twelve.
• 28:15
  Speaker 4: And the result was never terrible, but you were mediocre
• 28:19
  Speaker 4: and you felt that mediocrity for the last four years.
• 28:23
  Speaker 4: Over the course of the last four years, thirty five
• 28:25
  Speaker 4: and thirty three with one playoff appearance, that was the
• 28:30
  Speaker 4: ramifications of not drafting well. But what has happened in
• 28:34
  Speaker 4: this turnaround? Number one seed? How about these drafts since
• 28:38
  Speaker 4: twenty twenty two Cross, Mafe Walker, Lucas Bryant and Woolan
• 28:44
  Speaker 4: all in one draft.
• 28:46
  Speaker 3: Are you kidding me?
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: That's pretty good?
• 28:49
  Speaker 4: The next year Witherspoon, JSN Hall, Charbonnet and Bradford. That's
• 28:56
  Speaker 4: four started, four and a half starters. You count Scharbone
• 28:59
  Speaker 4: as a one be running back. Twenty twenty four not
• 29:03
  Speaker 4: as successful deathwise, but Murphy Barner and then twenty twenty
• 29:07
  Speaker 4: five Zabel Emon Worri Horton, who contributed Arroyo oots. I mean,
• 29:16
  Speaker 4: over the course of the last four years, what you've done,
• 29:19
  Speaker 4: and is it any surprise that you've bumped to fourteen
• 29:22
  Speaker 4: and three this year with a young roster. John Schneider's
• 29:27
  Speaker 4: done it again through the draft. And yes he's added
• 29:29
  Speaker 4: Darnold and he's added Lawrence, but the foundation of this
• 29:33
  Speaker 4: this roster was built through.
• 29:35
  Speaker 3: The power of draftness.
• 29:37
  Speaker 4: And this is why this team set up not just
• 29:41
  Speaker 4: to possibly win a Super Bowl this year, but maybe
• 29:43
  Speaker 4: you do end up with your dynasty, Maybe you do
• 29:46
  Speaker 4: end up with your nine years of success with multiple
• 29:50
  Speaker 4: championships because of how frickin' well John Schneider is.
• 29:54
  Speaker 3: Drafted in the last four years.
• 29:56
  Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, I agree, I mean, I think that there's
• 29:59
  Speaker 6: I think that that you were talking about kind of
• 30:01
  Speaker 6: that twenty ten, eleven twelve that set it up or
• 30:05
  Speaker 6: was it eleven, twelve thirteen, whatever, that that that draft
• 30:08
  Speaker 6: set you up to where all of a sudden you
• 30:10
  Speaker 6: had a core group of player playmakers and that were
• 30:14
  Speaker 6: gonna be able to you then just had to kind
• 30:17
  Speaker 6: of figure out what to plug and play around that
• 30:20
  Speaker 6: group of guys. I think that sets you up for
• 30:23
  Speaker 6: the run that they had, the legion of boom days.
• 30:26
  Speaker 3: I think then the fall off where for some reason there.
• 30:28
  Speaker 6: Was a bunch of years later they didn't have any
• 30:30
  Speaker 6: first round picks, where so your first picks, the forty
• 30:33
  Speaker 6: fifth or the sixtieth pick or whatever it is.
• 30:36
  Speaker 3: I think that there's.
• 30:37
  Speaker 4: Well, they were using that window to bolster the team,
• 30:40
  Speaker 4: the Jimmy Grahams and the and those editions, and that's
• 30:43
  Speaker 4: what you do when you've got a chance, when you're
• 30:45
  Speaker 4: in the window and you have a chance to win.
• 30:46
  Speaker 6: Right and yet you if you then don't nail that
• 30:49
  Speaker 6: second rounder and the third rounder like they have in
• 30:52
  Speaker 6: the last few drafts, or they've nailed all of them,
• 30:54
  Speaker 6: the first, second, third, whatever it is. If you don't
• 30:57
  Speaker 6: nail those, then you're gonna find a lull. There's gonna
• 30:59
  Speaker 6: come a point in time when either you know, you
• 31:03
  Speaker 6: have to move on from a Bobby Wagner for if
• 31:05
  Speaker 6: it's financial reasons, or Russell Wilson is no longer the
• 31:09
  Speaker 6: player and so it's time to move on from him.
• 31:11
  Speaker 6: When you have to do that, if all of a sudden,
• 31:13
  Speaker 6: that's where that draft class was supposed to have somebody
• 31:16
  Speaker 6: that could fit in there and and kind of bridge
• 31:18
  Speaker 6: that gap, so to speak, or just take over where
• 31:20
  Speaker 6: they left off, then you find yourselves kind of toiling
• 31:23
  Speaker 6: in mediocrity. Hence the end of the kind of Pete
• 31:27
  Speaker 6: Carroll era. I think that now all of a sudden, Yeah,
• 31:29
  Speaker 6: you've had a few drafts in a row now where
• 31:31
  Speaker 6: it's all bolstered again and it's all with a bunch
• 31:34
  Speaker 6: of young dudes, and so you're set up for it,
• 31:36
  Speaker 6: and then the time is gonna come. You got to
• 31:37
  Speaker 6: keep that rolling. You got to keep having good draft misses,
• 31:40
  Speaker 6: because that's where when all of a sudden, you have
• 31:43
  Speaker 6: to make decisions on Okay, ken Walker, what are we
• 31:47
  Speaker 6: doing there? And when you have to start making decisions
• 31:49
  Speaker 6: and guys are gonna move on, you have to be
• 31:51
  Speaker 6: able to replace it with the guys that you drafted
• 31:52
  Speaker 6: in in the more recent years.
• 31:53
  Speaker 10: And I do think John Schneider is incredible at what
• 31:55
  Speaker 10: he does. I do think Pete has to get some
• 31:57
  Speaker 10: credit for the early days. I mean, the two of
• 31:59
  Speaker 10: them were clearly a team doing it together well, for sure,
• 32:02
  Speaker 10: and it just obviously as the relationship progressed, they were
• 32:06
  Speaker 10: maybe on different pages. And so I'm glad that you know,
• 32:09
  Speaker 10: the situation is the way it is now and clearly
• 32:12
  Speaker 10: John still got that draft magic.
• 32:15
  Speaker 4: Yeah, John doesn't get all the credit. No, No, he
• 32:17
  Speaker 4: doesn't get all the blame. But there was a stretch
• 32:20
  Speaker 4: of time where they just weren't hitting. I mean, your
• 32:22
  Speaker 4: top drafts for a stretch, Kristen Michael, Paul Richardson, Frank
• 32:26
  Speaker 4: Clark was good, Jermaine Effetti, Malik McDowell, are your top
• 32:30
  Speaker 4: picks and successive Rashad Penny which everybody LJ Collier, which
• 32:35
  Speaker 4: everybody questioned at the time. Yeah, Jordan Brooks was pretty good, uh,
• 32:40
  Speaker 4: Dwayne Eskridge. I mean that was a nine year stretch
• 32:44
  Speaker 4: of drafting where you're missing on your top pick every
• 32:48
  Speaker 4: single year, and the end result of it was four
• 32:51
  Speaker 4: years of mediocrity. Never were terrible, and there's where Pete
• 32:54
  Speaker 4: gets a lot of credit. Never were terrible. Yeah, but
• 32:57
  Speaker 4: certainly the the it had worn off. Yes, that three
• 33:02
  Speaker 4: years of bumper crop, you know, drafting had worn off.
• 33:06
  Speaker 4: They built the foundation to win for nearly a decade,
• 33:10
  Speaker 4: but then you just didn't keep the ball rolling.
• 33:12
  Speaker 3: You weren't just you just weren't having successful drafts.
• 33:14
  Speaker 4: Well now four now you've had four successful years in
• 33:18
  Speaker 4: a row, and you've got it again, another potential with
• 33:22
  Speaker 4: a great, young, defensive minded head coach in charge. Maybe
• 33:26
  Speaker 4: now you do get that dynasty you felt you missed
• 33:29
  Speaker 4: out on. I mean there's a chance. I mean, we
• 33:31
  Speaker 4: don't want to put the car before the horse. You
• 33:33
  Speaker 4: got to play a playoff game this year. But nonetheless, man,
• 33:36
  Speaker 4: it is set up beautifully and it's through the power
• 33:39
  Speaker 4: of the draft.
• 33:40
  Speaker 3: And I hear you. I hear you all. I hear
• 33:41
  Speaker 3: what you're telling me, Ashley, Bucky, all the listeners. We
• 33:45
  Speaker 3: got to do more draft. I didn't hear that, right.
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: You're picking up what I'm laying down.
• 33:50
  Speaker 3: Yes not. I don't think what you said more draft
• 33:52
  Speaker 3: talk on the show.
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: I might not have set it out loud, but my
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: eyes and my heart are pretty sure.
• 33:58
  Speaker 4: Pretty well, I know what you're saying, Like, I just
• 34:00
  Speaker 4: haven't poured my heart entirely.
• 34:02
  Speaker 6: You have this like yeah, your heart, yeah, your head
• 34:06
  Speaker 6: and yeah, but you've poured all kinds of things into it.
• 34:09
  Speaker 3: I don't think you need anymore.
• 34:11
  Speaker 4: There, My good, Thank you, Ashley. I'm that's that's the
• 34:14
  Speaker 4: sentiment that I'm picking up on.
• 34:15
  Speaker 3: So you got it.
• 34:16
  Speaker 4: I got a greater fever for it right now than ever.
• 34:20
  Speaker 4: All right, coming up next, I don't know. Uh, maybe
• 34:23
  Speaker 4: I'll enter the transfer portal. Seems like it's what everybody's
• 34:26
  Speaker 4: doing right now. Sports Radio ninety three point three kJ
• 34:29
  Speaker 4: R f M. Maybe that would convince some players to
• 34:32
  Speaker 4: actually stay where they are.
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: Keeps me home a lot.
• 34:34
  Speaker 3: I don't want to deal with that traffic.
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that keeps me home quite a yeah.
• 34:38
  Speaker 4: And also, if you know, if you're a decent American,
• 34:41
  Speaker 4: you use turn signals, and so that actually gives a
• 34:45
  Speaker 4: little bit more warning up. Yeah, a little heads up
• 34:48
  Speaker 4: as to what we need to prepare for. This portal.
• 34:51
  Speaker 4: Thing's just so mysterious and you get to just disappear
• 34:55
  Speaker 4: inside of it and it h I don't know, it's
• 35:00
  Speaker 4: a scary world out there. Forty eight one hundred players
• 35:05
  Speaker 4: are currently and the college football transfer Portal as we speak.
• 35:10
  Speaker 4: I I mean, I heard that number and I literally
• 35:13
  Speaker 4: had to look it up, like that's not true. Yeah,
• 35:15
  Speaker 4: there's no way that that's true. Are there even I'm
• 35:18
  Speaker 4: trying to do the math inside my head, how many
• 35:20
  Speaker 4: college football players are there? There can be much more
• 35:24
  Speaker 4: than forty eight hundred, right, And I'm sitting here looking
• 35:26
  Speaker 4: it up, and yeah, Hannah.
• 35:28
  Speaker 3: Storm is right.
• 35:29
  Speaker 4: Over forty eight hundred players are in the college football
• 35:32
  Speaker 4: transfer portal as we speak. My goodness, you don't have
• 35:35
  Speaker 4: to convince young kids today that the grass is greener
• 35:38
  Speaker 4: somewhere else.
• 35:38
  Speaker 3: I'll tell you that much. It's it's such a weird.
• 35:41
  Speaker 3: It doesn't seem it just isn't right. It didn't. I mean,
• 35:44
  Speaker 3: I don't. I don't fault them for.
• 35:47
  Speaker 6: Wanting to go somewhere, especially if your team brought in
• 35:50
  Speaker 6: somebody that plays your position that you know, if you
• 35:53
  Speaker 6: were sitting in line or you red shirted, and you're thinking,
• 35:55
  Speaker 6: all right, this guy's out, he's going to the NFL,
• 35:57
  Speaker 6: or he's a senior, he's out.
• 35:59
  Speaker 3: I'll be in there, and then they're like, Nah, not
• 36:01
  Speaker 3: so fast.
• 36:02
  Speaker 6: We're gonna bring this guy in and he's going to start,
• 36:04
  Speaker 6: and you're like, all right, well, then I'm going to
• 36:06
  Speaker 6: go somewhere that I can play.
• 36:07
  Speaker 3: So I get how it works and why it works,
• 36:09
  Speaker 3: but it just doesn't seem right.
• 36:10
  Speaker 6: It just seems somehow you have to figure out something
• 36:15
  Speaker 6: to where there's some sort of commitment level. I mean,
• 36:19
  Speaker 6: something beyond just a yeah, I'll come there, because it
• 36:22
  Speaker 6: really is there's no commitment none. I mean, I don't
• 36:26
  Speaker 6: even think that they have the contracts with their nil money.
• 36:30
  Speaker 6: If you're going to pay him, which they should, and
• 36:33
  Speaker 6: that that that's never going to change, so good, then
• 36:36
  Speaker 6: make it to wear here. We will pay you your
• 36:38
  Speaker 6: five million dollars to come be our guy, or two
• 36:41
  Speaker 6: hundred thousand whatever it is, uh, depending on the player
• 36:44
  Speaker 6: and the position in the school. But you're here for
• 36:47
  Speaker 6: two years minimum or whatever. You got to figure something out.
• 36:49
  Speaker 6: This just doesn't seem like it's a sustainable way in
• 36:52
  Speaker 6: what you're doing well.
• 36:53
  Speaker 10: And I mean we've talked about it before, just the
• 36:55
  Speaker 10: amount of donors and people that are gonna get sick
• 36:57
  Speaker 10: of pain a year after year after year. I was
• 37:00
  Speaker 10: reading yesterday about a USC guy that caught one pass
• 37:03
  Speaker 10: for twenty five yards and he was paid half a
• 37:05
  Speaker 10: million dollars and now he's leaving. But it's like, so
• 37:09
  Speaker 10: will they make it incentivized now, Like, hey, you could
• 37:12
  Speaker 10: earn up to this much money, but you gotta do something.
• 37:15
  Speaker 8: Well.
• 37:15
  Speaker 3: I would, Yeah, I would think that. I mean anytime
• 37:17
  Speaker 3: if you.
• 37:18
  Speaker 4: Buy, if you if you have to hire a thatcher
• 37:22
  Speaker 4: because your roof is leaking, yeh, don't you expect your
• 37:25
  Speaker 4: roof to get thatched?
• 37:27
  Speaker 8: Yeah?
• 37:27
  Speaker 4: Don't you expect it to not leak afterwards? I mean
• 37:30
  Speaker 4: Troy Igman has mentioned this as well. Dante More is
• 37:33
  Speaker 4: the guy he was talking about that went to Oregon.
• 37:35
  Speaker 4: I paid that guy like a million dollars, yep, and
• 37:39
  Speaker 4: not only did he only stick around for one year.
• 37:43
  Speaker 4: Now my million dollars is leading Oregon to the Final
• 37:48
  Speaker 4: four and I didn't even get a thank you note
• 37:50
  Speaker 4: or a goodbye for everything that I contributed to getting
• 37:53
  Speaker 4: that player to UCLA.
• 37:55
  Speaker 8: Thank you game.
• 37:57
  Speaker 2: There's your thank you?
• 37:58
  Speaker 4: That or that is unsustainable And I think they're going
• 38:01
  Speaker 4: to chase a lot of people away. But I think
• 38:03
  Speaker 4: what Texas Tech is proving is we got a lot.
• 38:06
  Speaker 3: Of stupid money. Yeah, oil money.
• 38:10
  Speaker 4: That is attached to this program. We don't care if
• 38:13
  Speaker 4: we blow a million here or there. What else are
• 38:15
  Speaker 4: we gonna do? Give it to sick kids? Yeah, I
• 38:18
  Speaker 4: mean that's their mentality. I'd rather have a great football.
• 38:21
  Speaker 2: Team oil money.
• 38:22
  Speaker 10: They're just going to take the old people to the
• 38:23
  Speaker 10: casino and let them blow it off.
• 38:26
  Speaker 4: Yeah exactly. I mean that's what they do in Love
• 38:31
  Speaker 4: with Texas.
• 38:31
  Speaker 8: Everyone knows.
• 38:34
  Speaker 4: Very interesting case though at ole Miss, because right now.
• 38:39
  Speaker 3: This is this is the craziest story.
• 38:41
  Speaker 4: So Ole Miss assistant coaches who are following Lane Kiffin
• 38:46
  Speaker 4: are still trying to coach ole Miss in the playoff,
• 38:50
  Speaker 4: and so he had to grant them permission to fly
• 38:54
  Speaker 4: back to Ole Miss last night just so they could.
• 38:59
  Speaker 4: They've been not part of the preparation for this game
• 39:03
  Speaker 4: Thursday until last night. Oh wow, at least they haven't
• 39:07
  Speaker 4: been there in person. And then they both sides had
• 39:10
  Speaker 4: to agree on what you can do to tamper transfer
• 39:14
  Speaker 4: portal wise in order just to let.
• 39:16
  Speaker 3: Them back to come and coach. Just insanity.
• 39:20
  Speaker 4: And yet through it all, Kewan Lacy, the Old Miss
• 39:25
  Speaker 4: star running back, re upped with Ole Miss last night Trinidad.
• 39:29
  Speaker 4: Chambliss said he's re upping with Ole Miss, not following
• 39:32
  Speaker 4: Lane kiffen to LSU.
• 39:34
  Speaker 3: And I do wonder like, why are all you assistants?
• 39:37
  Speaker 3: Why did you think the grass?
• 39:38
  Speaker 4: Why did you as grown men think the grass was
• 39:41
  Speaker 4: greener with Lane Kiffin and LSU. Kind of feels like
• 39:44
  Speaker 4: you got a good thing going in Ole Miss. Kind
• 39:46
  Speaker 4: of feels like your players want to be there. Kind
• 39:48
  Speaker 4: of feels like there's this edge to everyone at ole Miss,
• 39:51
  Speaker 4: Like I'd rather play at Old Miss for what Pete
• 39:54
  Speaker 4: Golding is doing. That's more of an inspirational story than
• 39:58
  Speaker 4: following Lane Kiffin, dumb ass the Louisiana. So maybe you're
• 40:04
  Speaker 4: the fools the coaches that have decided to leave with
• 40:08
  Speaker 4: Lane Kiffin.
• 40:09
  Speaker 3: You might have had a better thing at Ole Miss
• 40:10
  Speaker 3: if you just stayed.
• 40:12
  Speaker 6: Yeah, well, I mean, I guess I would imagine it's
• 40:14
  Speaker 6: that Okay, you're you're gonna get you're gonna get paid.
• 40:18
  Speaker 6: If you don't know who for sure is going to
• 40:20
  Speaker 6: be the next head coach, then you don't know for
• 40:22
  Speaker 6: sure if you're going to have that job. Yeah, well
• 40:24
  Speaker 6: he is now right, Yeah, but you don't know for
• 40:26
  Speaker 6: sure if he's going to then he got the job.
• 40:29
  Speaker 3: He got the job for.
• 40:30
  Speaker 6: For sure, So then yeah, you would think if you
• 40:33
  Speaker 6: knew that you're secure in your job with him as
• 40:36
  Speaker 6: at the Helm, then I don't understand the reason why
• 40:40
  Speaker 6: you would leave a team that's basically going to finish
• 40:42
  Speaker 6: at least in the top four in the country for
• 40:45
  Speaker 6: a rebuilding situation.
• 40:46
  Speaker 3: It's not like Louisiana's that cool of a place. Been there,
• 40:50
  Speaker 3: It's not really that cool. I don't know, I don't
• 40:54
  Speaker 3: mind it.
• 40:55
  Speaker 6: I mean, they got mosquitoes the size of hummingbirds and
• 40:58
  Speaker 6: it's always humid. Then again, Mississippi, Yeah, not a whole
• 41:01
  Speaker 6: heck of a lot different. So yeah, to me, it's
• 41:04
  Speaker 6: the whole thing is just it doesn't seem sustainable the
• 41:07
  Speaker 6: way in which it is right now. It's just way
• 41:08
  Speaker 6: too much mayhem. Can we please get some sort of
• 41:10
  Speaker 6: rules and regulations wrap our arms around it.
• 41:13
  Speaker 3: It's not the way it's supposed to be.
• 41:15
  Speaker 4: I don't think it's going to be the priority. I
• 41:17
  Speaker 4: think the priority of this offseason is the calendar and
• 41:20
  Speaker 4: fixing the calendar. So we're probably going to deal with
• 41:22
  Speaker 4: this for a little while longer, and it has given
• 41:25
  Speaker 4: us this free agency thing that we've never had before,
• 41:27
  Speaker 4: and people do seem to like it, but long term,
• 41:30
  Speaker 4: I'm with you, it's not sustainable.
• 41:33
  Speaker 3: Tomorrow when we have more time. Tom Brady has weighed.
• 41:35
  Speaker 4: In on this and it is fascinating, So we'll play
• 41:39
  Speaker 4: that for you tomorrow when we have more time to
• 41:41
