• 0:23
  Speaker 2: All right, 8 o'clock hour here on this lovely Monday
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: as the Seahawks coming off a lovely 17-3 win over
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: the Arizona Cardinals. And there is only one number one
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: overall draft pick that you will take to break it
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: down for you.
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: And that is our QB1, former UW quarterback.
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: Uh, former NFL quarterback and the top pick in our
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: Monday morning quarterback draft.
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: Hugh Millen is with us here on the program. Good morning, sir.
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: Good morning.
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: Good.
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: Great to be with you.
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Great to have you. Uh, all right. So well,
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: appreciate the nice lies. It's all good. I don't think
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: I would take anybody else. No, no, I don't think
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: I would. Okay. I don't think I'd take anybody else.
• 1:03
  Speaker 4: Yeah. Uh, all right.
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: Well, um, I mean, that was pretty much just like
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: get down to business, come away with a win, uh,
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: Wasn't anything fancy. Wasn't anything special. They can't score any
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: points off of us. We might as well run all
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: game long. What did it, what stood out most to
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: you about that 17-3 win?
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: Well, I think that Seattle played hard and, you know,
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: you watch the defense, they're flying around. And so I appreciate,
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: you know, they had some breakdowns in that first drive.
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: We'll probably get to, but Uh, then they, you know,
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: they closed it down at the end when it got
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: to be a little bit hairy, but I think it
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: was just kind of one of those recognitions. Hey, we
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: are really banged up, including our quarterback. Um, you know,
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: obviously there's belief in drew lock, but you're playing a
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: really weak team. I mean, you just watch them on
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: tape and, and Gardner Minshew didn't provide anything that you
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: thought he might bring based on what he had done
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: at Dallas. I mean, he was exceptional. in that Cowboy
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: game seven days ago, he was a nothing burger yesterday.
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: I mean, no mobility, no guts, that quarterback draw that
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: he went into the fetal position. I mean, that is
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: going to be brutal watching in tape in the Cardinals.
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: He's just going to walk around with his head down.
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: He doesn't want to make eye contact. So I think
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: I just feel like the Cardinals, they were 29th. in, uh,
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: wide receiver expected points added. So they would get nothing from,
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: from them. Um, and so it was just, Hey, can
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: you stop Trey McBride? Uh, they did for the most part,
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: certainly sufficiently. And, and, um, and then Seattle did what
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: they had to do against, uh, a not terribly dynamic defense.
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: So I think it was just kind of a take
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: care of business. You know, it's like a short par four, uh,
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: for a professional golfer, you know, um, you, you know,
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: you roll up Easy putt in for a par, pick
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: up your ball and go to the next hole. Yeah.
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: I was going to bring up the Minshew thing.
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: We haven't brought it up in our first two hours,
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: but I mean, he did get brutalized throughout a lot
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: of the game.
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: He got hit while throwing numerous times, including one.
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: Where I thought he had suffered a serious injury when
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: Fowler had hit him but he looked awfully timid down
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: the stretch which i would not have expected uh out
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: of him he was such a swashbuckler uh for the
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: coogs but i don't know if fowler hit him so
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: hard he split his jean shorts or or what happened
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: but he he did not want anything of devin witherspoon
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: witherspoon who's like maybe our smallest defensive player on that
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: scramble Yeah, I.
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: Don't know, man. Just looking at him, I'm not going
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: to discredit anything. He was a really meaningful, terrific player
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: for Washington State fans. If I'm a Coug, I love
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: the guy. What he brought, the energy, his unique personality. But,
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: I mean, how old is the guy? He's got to
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: be in his 30s now. I mean, we're not going
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: to Burning Man now. festival. We're not going to a
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: Grateful Dead concert. Can we clean up our look a
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: little bit? Because if you're going to look like that,
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: you better take on a 185-pound cornerback on the goal
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: line when the game is on the line. That is
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: a no bueno. I don't care how much you love
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: Gardner Minshew Coug fans. On that particular play, you got
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: to close your eyes and pretend you never saw that
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: and try to unsee it because that was brutal.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah.
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: Well, let's talk about some other things. Let's talk about
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: our quarterback, Drew Locke. What did you think of his performance?
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: You know what? I did a postgame show with Dick
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: last night, and I kind of thought he was solid.
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: And then getting up early to watch the coach's tape,
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: I think that he was better than solid. Okay. I
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: think you start off just the way they were protecting–
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: I mean, I can go through these play-by-play and all,
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: which I don't think we want to do. But if
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: I say, okay, try and summarize it, I don't think
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: they protected well. I think that the Cardinals were presenting
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: a lot of fake blitzes where they would induce the
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: center to go one way, and then they would have overloads,
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: and Seattle just didn't handle that well. So he had
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: a lot of free runners coming at him that were
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: responsible for some of those– Those incompletions early on. I mean,
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: while we're at it, I mean, I had to watch
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: another four quarters of Anthony Bradford pass blocking. Let me
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: give you what he had yesterday. Because I would say,
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: wait a minute, pro football focus must be in agreement
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: on this. This is just atrocious. So the way that
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: they work, pro football focus, you start at 60 before
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: you ever take a snap. You go up or down
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: from 60. So of the 82 qualifying guards, you have
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: the second worst. First of all, the median is 61.7.
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: The max is 84.7. The second worst has a 28.6 grade.
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: And Anthony Bradford for the season has an 11.9. Let
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: me say that again. The second worst out of 82
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: is a 28.6 pass block rate. And Anthony Bradford does 11.9. Yesterday,
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: he was 4.2. Do you know how many blocks you
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: have to miss to start at 60 and keep whittling
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: that number down so that you have a 4.2?
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: Hmm.
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: So, um, you know, you know, and a lot of
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: times you're only as strong as your weakest link. Then when,
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: when one guy's getting beat, you know, uh, the guy
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: who's taking the brunt of it is drew lock.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: Um, but he had a number of, you know, he
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: had a scramble for 14 yards, uh, that wheel route
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: that he threw to, uh, to Jedi and price on
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: third and eight, uh, with, with guy, you know, guys
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: in his face where he's retreating. That was, that was
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: damn near heroic. That throw, um, He had good pocket movement,
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: sliding up and hitting a check down for nine yards.
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: I like that. He hit a choice route out in the–
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: but then in the second quarter, he had three straight plays.
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: He throws a dig route with a safety coming down
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: into a hole. He had to get rid of that
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: in a tight window, very tight window, to Jackson Smith
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: and Jigma for 13 yards. Then he comes back. He
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: gets a corner route for the pass interference for long yards.
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: We won't entirely credit him there. But then he hits
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: another dig route against a different coverage. The first one
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: was a coverage called three buzz where the safety comes
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: down to make a four under. The second one was
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: a two deep five under. And he hits JSN for
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: 18 yards. This is all inside of a minute. moving
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: down and getting that touchdown, then the bender for the
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: touchdown pass. And then he hit some screen passes or
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: slant passes, rather, with guys in his face in the
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: second half. He threw his last pass with 10.58 to
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: go in the fourth quarter. It was just that kind
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: of game, right? He almost got the sense, I make
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: the analogy, he was like a relief pitcher that got
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: the win. Um, well, I guess you'd have to call
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: him a starting pitcher, but let's say, you know, you,
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: you had a nice, um, you know, five, six, nothing lead.
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: And you're just kind of like, Hey, just, just keep
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: throwing strikes. Don't have a big inning. You know, don't
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: do anything stupid. You know, you've got your, your, your,
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: you get your teammates are behind you. You should be fine.
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: And that's kind of the way it was. But as
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: I said, I'm looking at his pluses. I've got, I've
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: got like nine pluses for him, which is more than
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: I would have thought last night. So, yeah, I thought
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: he played well.
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: Well, the criticism is obviously, you know, Sam's taking too
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: many sacks. Sam's throwing too many interceptions. Um, this Bradford
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: statistic that you throw out there suggests that he was
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: under a lot of heat throughout the course of the game,
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: at least from one part of the offensive line. And
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: yet he doesn't take a sack and he doesn't throw
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: an interception. So, um, how do we read that? How
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: do we view that, that drew lock did things that, uh,
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: Sam Darnold has not been doing.
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: I don't think that, um, Sam Darnold would have, you know,
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: a healthy Sam Darnold playing that game. Uh, it might've
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: looked different. But there's no part of me that thinks
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: that Sam Darnold wouldn't have played just as well. Or,
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: you know, as I said, it would have looked different.
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: Locke missed some. You know, he missed, he was laid
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: on some balls, and his elbow was clearly bothering him.
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: You know, you could see him kind of, you know,
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: he was grabbing his elbow. He was grabbing his oblique.
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: The oblique got stretched in the very first pass on
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: that bootleg line over route that he missed with and
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: by the way jsn i had jsn for two minuses
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: in the game wow yeah oh my gosh that first
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: play the one that the oblique it's like in man
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: coverage you you got to come downhill he's usually so
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: damn good at coming downhill um but he allowed the
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: defender to undercut it that's a minus for the receiver
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: period well even if he wears number 11 And there's
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: an S on the front of the jersey.
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: I just saw some pigs fly outside the window here.
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: Weird.
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: A whole flock of them. Yes, exactly. So Locke hurt
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: his oblique in the first pass of the third quarter,
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: which may be a reason why he didn't throw with
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: the last 11 minutes of the game. But no, I agree.
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: To me, there's no quarterback controversy. Ask my opinion as
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: a fan, as an analyst. Sam Darnold has done enough.
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: You also have to look at there's a difference in
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: psychology between, okay, what do you do when nothing's expected?
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: You're just the two. Look at Gardner Minshew. He comes
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: in with no pressure last week, and then now, okay,
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: you're going to be the starter for the rest of
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: the year. I am?
• 11:37
  Speaker 4: Mm-hmm.
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: What? What? And then all of a sudden, a lot
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: of times guys can be a different guy. And so
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: Darnold is a two-time Pro Bowler, won you a Super Bowl.
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: I'm not moved by that at all. What I am
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: is I'm grateful that Seattle has a very, very good
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: backup that is a fringe starter. He may have a chance.
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: Remember now, Malik Willis, he completed exactly 30 passes last season.
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: He got exactly $ 45 million guaranteed this season. Man, I
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: didn't have to go to my calculator. That's exactly a
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: million and a half dollars guaranteed per completion. So there's
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: a lot riding on it for Drew Locke. I don't
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: think he's going to get that kind of contract. I
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: don't think that's so at all as it stands now,
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: unless he plays more and plays well. But even if
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: he doesn't get that contract, he's playing for something and
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: he's playing for something for, uh, very meaningful. He's already
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: made a little over 20 million bucks in his career, uh,
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: which is, which is really good. But, um, you know,
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: it goes without saying that the kind of money that
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: Malik Willis is making, or even a fraction of that
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: could really be a life changing in, in a different
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: way for him. So I think he's a damn good
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: backup and, you know, I hope we don't miss him
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: next year, but, um, but in no way do I
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: think that he is in a competition with Sam Darnold,
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: nor do I think Mike McDonald thinks that. Yeah, I agree.
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: Monday morning quarterback with Hugh Millen here, 17-3. Seahawks over
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: the Cardinals on Sunday to move the team to 5-4
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: on the year, and we got to see a running
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: back alignment with Zach Charbonnet as clearly the RB1, Jadarian
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: Price clearly the RB2, but also used more in the
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: passing game.
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: Than we've seen in the past. What did you make
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: of the performance at running back and the decision to
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: just run the ball far more than you threw the ball? Meh.
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: Meh.
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah. Meh.
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah. I really liked the four-minute offense, and I really
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: liked Zach Charbonnet in there. Broke a couple tackles. His
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: vision was good. Ran hard. Finished. But I... I think
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: the whole thing is missing. In their outside zone, which
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: is supposed to be their bread and butter, now as
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: presently constituted, we've been waiting for this day for a
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: long time. And when Jadarian Price took the opening kickoff,
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: that seemed to be a signal to me. It's like, okay,
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: they feel healthy about Price. They're not going to be
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: nurturing his shoulder or rib or whatever the heck it is.
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: And yet on their outside zone, their bread and butter,
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: they go 5-4. Five rushes, 12 yards, and no successful
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: plays out of that. And they were a little bit
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: more successful on the inside zone and the duo stuff,
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: and that isn't a really terribly dynamic defense. So I
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: think that the– you know what? I had meant to
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: look it up sometime before the end of our show together.
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: I'm going to have you what their running plays were
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: on first down. It's not going to be impressive.
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: Yikes.
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: And there was just too many second and longs. And
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: so whether it's the stats or whether it's your eyes,
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: to me, there was no explosiveness. I didn't think they
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: blocked great. I think it was just like it was okay.
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: It was sufficient, and it was sufficient enough to beat
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: the Cardinals, but it's not what you're hoping for. It's
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: not where they have been. at the end of last year.
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: So I think they're still trying to find themselves.
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: But it looks like these are the parts that we're
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: going to be using here going forward. So I'm with you.
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: I'm with you a thousand percent, actually. We were talking
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: about that a little bit earlier in the show, but
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: barring some unforeseen trade tomorrow, It's probably going to be
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: a combination of what you saw yesterday, and I do
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: wonder if you can not only beat a great defense
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: with that alignment, but a tournament of great defenses with
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: that alignment.
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: You raise a great point, and we don't know. We'll see.
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: There's a lot of meshing that has to go on
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: with the entire offense. Now you're going to get Charles
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: Cross back. Now there's new questions about Quentin Nelson. He's
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: going to have a procedure. I would have thought they
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: would have expedited that, but... But as Greg reported, if
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: he hasn't had that procedure, what does that mean for
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: the timetable there? So as you're trying to, as I said,
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: coordinate all of this, remember, now this is a little
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: bit of a hyperbole and an oversimplification, but offense is
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: a symphony, defense is a beehive. There's a lot more
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: moving parts that are intricately connected dependent on each other
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: in offense. And so with the line not together and
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: the quarterback not there, you just feel like you're putting
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: off the team. Yesterday and against the Raiders would have
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: ideally been the time where you got a weak opponent,
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: weak opponents, and you're just kind of finding that groove
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: and uh, you know, you're, you're, um, you know, tune,
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: tune in those violins before the symphony starts. And, uh, and,
• 17:22
  Speaker 3: and they're not able to do that. Um, now somebody
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: is going to say, hang on, there's a lot of
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: cohesion and zone defense and how the secondary has to tie.
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: I get it. So it's not all a beehive and
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: it's not all a symphony, but it's, it's somewhat like that.
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: And if that's a, if that's imagery for us, it
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: speaks to the, um, the detailed nature of offense relative
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: to defense, and Seattle just is kind of stuck in
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: first gear on that, in my opinion.
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and we have more to discuss with the quarterbacks
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: and with the running backs as our two hours unfold.
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: But with my last couple minutes here in the first segment,
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: speaking of the running game, the barnyard.
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: Play was back. It was successful three times.
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: Is there any reason to do anything else on third
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: and short, fourth and short, than run this?
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: Because I don't remember it ever getting stopped. It has
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: been stopped. Not often. I suppose I despise the play
• 18:22
  Speaker 3: the least when the Seahawks run it. I still think
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: it has no part in football. I think it's a
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: rugby play. I think it should be taken out with
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: the rules. And that's not making a new rule. That's
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: just going back to the rule we had From 1920,
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: which echoed the college rule, up until 2004. So that's
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: probably 85 seasons when you count it up. And there
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: was a rule against the barnyard push. But this is
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: a bad morning to make that argument, right? It looked
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: pretty good going in the end zone, right? And that
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: goofy spiking dance that I actually love because I like
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: his swag. Jonathan Vilma could not get that straight, by
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: the way. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, don't get me going
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: on Vilma.
• 19:15
  Speaker 4: You have one job. Know what the celebration is, dude.
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: Come on. I kind of now want to get you
• 19:23
  Speaker 3: going on Vilma.
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: I'm kind of curious about the Vilma thing.
• 19:27
  Speaker 3: I don't know. It's just weak sauce. I think there's
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: lack of information, lack of understanding situations. I don't know.
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: I think we kind of got the B- the B
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: team would be the most charitable way I could say it. Yeah.
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: I don't think much. of Kenny Albert doing football either.
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: And his spotter is the worst spotter in football for
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: anybody that keeps score.
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: They are terrible at down and distance. Terrible! And getting
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: names wrong. But how about, where's the outrage on the
• 20:02
  Speaker 3: forward progress? Oh, yeah. That would be in the discussion.
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: If you wanted to nominate... uh, for a gold medal
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: of worst call of the year, the idea that you
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: could somehow interpret that as, as forward progress. Yeah. When,
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: when forward progress has, I don't know, morphed in, into
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: rugby more in the last five or 10 years than
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: at any time I can ever remember. And that goes
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: back to the early seventies, like, like forward progress is just,
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: is a concept that's gone away. To me, to the
• 20:38
  Speaker 3: detriment of the game, I'm like, stop, blow the whistle, stop.
• 20:41
  Speaker 3: I do this all the time, whether it's a Seahawks
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: game or not. I'm just watching a Monday night game.
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: I don't care. Why is the pile moving? Stop, blow
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: the whistle. I'm always doing this for the last five years.
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: And then that play is for progress? That play. That play.
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: And then the announcers just kind of go, okay, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 21:00
  Speaker 3: Ford Marcus, what's the next down? Thoughts get wrong this
• 21:04
  Speaker 3: time again.
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: All right, well, we certainly have some officiating to talk about.
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: We got the entire defense to talk about. We'll certainly
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: circle back to the quarterback situation, not just yesterday, but
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: going forward.
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: And more.
• 21:18
  Speaker 3: We've got our QB1 with us.
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: Monday Morning Quarterback is brought to you by Muckleshoot Bingo
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: and the Evergreen Council on Problem Gambling. Muckleshoot Bingo in Auburn,
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: your home for Machine Go. And of course, the Evergreen
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: Council on Problem Gambling wants to remind you always at
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: the end of the game, you should still be having fun,
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: but know the real score about gambling. Visit keepitfunwa.org. Keep
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: it fun, sports fans. If you bet, bet responsibly. More
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: with Hugh next. Sports Radio 93.3 KJRFM. We even gave
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: some minuses to JSN and some serious minuses to the
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: officiating crew. But not much you can say critically, Hugh,
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: about the defense. Once again, dominant, allowed under 200 yards
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: of total offense in the game yesterday and Even that
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: one weapon that you reminded us of in X's and
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: O's on Friday that you have to be able to contain,
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: Trey McBride, he was for the most part contained yesterday.
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: Had one sensational catch, but certainly didn't do enough to
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: score a touchdown or beat the team on Sunday.
• 22:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah, no, it's fun to watch the defense, and it's
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: fun to watch them make adjustments. The first drive, counting
• 22:33
  Speaker 3: the Ernest Jones penalty, They had four straight plays. The
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: defense gave up 15 yards or more, 25, then 17,
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: then 17, and then counting the penalty, 20 yards. So
• 22:49
  Speaker 3: they squeezed it down, forced a field goal. But, you know,
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: they played with a lot more man-to-man and blitz. They
• 22:58
  Speaker 3: were up over 30% man-to-man, where they were just under 10%.
• 23:00
  Speaker 3: Blitzed more. I think that there was a variety of
• 23:09
  Speaker 3: different blitzes, man blitzes, zone blitzes. They busted a couple.
• 23:13
  Speaker 3: We'll talk about some busts. So it wasn't a clean operation.
• 23:16
  Speaker 3: There was with Trey McBride. Everybody seemed to be playing
• 23:20
  Speaker 3: a three deep, three under, which is a weak zone
• 23:24
  Speaker 3: as it is. Let me clarify that. Usually play zone
• 23:29
  Speaker 3: with seven. If you're going to do a zone blitz
• 23:32
  Speaker 3: and rush five guys, you're going to to be playing
• 23:35
  Speaker 3: with one less guy. So I think that Dante Fowler
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: missed his drop key and McBride caught a shallow cross
• 23:44
  Speaker 3: against a busted coverage, not a poor coverage, a busted coverage.
• 23:48
  Speaker 3: And I think he got 20-something yards on that. But
• 23:50
  Speaker 3: other than that, they gloved him up. Down on the
• 23:53
  Speaker 3: goal line, Eamon Worry, when the game was on the line,
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: he had the length to create the pass breakup. That
• 23:59
  Speaker 3: was beautiful. But I think in going against Minshew, let
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: me contrast– In the past few weeks, when we're doing
• 24:07
  Speaker 3: shows on Friday, we say, hey, like against Caleb Williams,
• 24:11
  Speaker 3: for example, you've got to pass rush as a team.
• 24:14
  Speaker 3: You cannot be selfish. You can't get higher than the quarterback.
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: You can't leave the C-gap unblocked or vacant to them.
• 24:24
  Speaker 3: It's an escape hatch. We talked all about you've got
• 24:27
  Speaker 3: to be aware of where your help is. Well, when
• 24:29
  Speaker 3: you watched the tape yesterday, it's like Mike McDonald just,
• 24:33
  Speaker 3: he just said, Hey, listen, he threw a stake in
• 24:36
  Speaker 3: the back of the yard and let like all the
• 24:38
  Speaker 3: dogs hunt, like just go, you know, like everybody was
• 24:42
  Speaker 3: going like just bad out of hell, like go get
• 24:46
  Speaker 3: you a sack. And, and they were common different pressures
• 24:50
  Speaker 3: and they were coming fast. They weren't trying to break down,
• 24:54
  Speaker 3: worry about what, you know, would men's shoes escape hatches.
• 24:57
  Speaker 3: No nonsense. It's just like, hey, get to that spot
• 25:00
  Speaker 3: as fast as you can, and it was fun to
• 25:03
  Speaker 3: see that kind of fast, it wasn't just a tsunami
• 25:08
  Speaker 3: coming in on him, it was coming fast. A lot
• 25:12
  Speaker 3: of team speed coming, you know, you're sending the Eamon
• 25:14
  Speaker 3: Warriors of the world, and occasionally the Witherspoons of the world,
• 25:19
  Speaker 3: and all those guys, it was squeezing in on him
• 25:24
  Speaker 3: in a hurry, so it was a different game plan,
• 25:26
  Speaker 3: it was a fun game plan, and and you walk
• 25:28
  Speaker 3: away giving up under 200 yards, three points, that's a checkmate,
• 25:35
  Speaker 3: slam dunk. This is the National Football League. You're not
• 25:38
  Speaker 3: playing Eastern Washington. That is a great day by the defense.
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and I'll carry on the dog analogy because I
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: think Mike McDonald's got some dog in him as well.
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: The best thing you can do in your running game
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: is Tyler Algier with his limited physical abilities. You might
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: as well have waved a pork chop in front of
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: that Rottweiler.
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 25:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he's not terribly dynamic. I mean, he had one
• 26:09
  Speaker 3: of the 17-yarders that I mentioned a moment ago in
• 26:13
  Speaker 3: that first drive. They had a pin and pull, and
• 26:18
  Speaker 3: DeMarcus Lawrence lost the edge. Lawrence had a great game,
• 26:21
  Speaker 3: really great game. But it seemed like all the guys,
• 26:25
  Speaker 3: after they had a really bad play, It's like you
• 26:30
  Speaker 3: don't want to light that fire. After Ernest Jones had
• 26:33
  Speaker 3: the 15-yard penalty, the next play on first down in
• 26:37
  Speaker 3: the red zone, he just throws an offensive lineman and
• 26:41
  Speaker 3: just sticks Algier right in the hole right after the play.
• 26:44
  Speaker 3: After Witherspoon had a terrible defensive illegal contact, I watched
• 26:52
  Speaker 3: the play like eight times. I'm like, where's the contact?
• 26:55
  Speaker 3: And Witherspoon was shaking his head. Well, then they tried
• 26:58
  Speaker 3: to run that pin and pull to his side, and
• 27:01
  Speaker 3: he comes flying in. He makes the guard whiff, and
• 27:05
  Speaker 3: he just jacks Algiers for a two-yard loss. So the
• 27:10
  Speaker 3: same play, if you're calling plays for the Cardinals, you say, oh,
• 27:13
  Speaker 3: that pin and pull worked really well. It got 17 yards. Well,
• 27:17
  Speaker 3: the next time I ran it, it got minus two.
• 27:20
  Speaker 3: you know, and so they just, they have a great
• 27:22
  Speaker 3: way of buttoning up their problems. And then DeMarcus Lawrence,
• 27:25
  Speaker 3: he got pinned on the one that I just said,
• 27:27
  Speaker 3: they pulled the tackle in the center, which is, you know,
• 27:30
  Speaker 3: the lead blocker out, out in front. But, but they
• 27:35
  Speaker 3: were able to recognize that, that scheme. You don't see
• 27:39
  Speaker 3: that often on the wide zone to see the center
• 27:41
  Speaker 3: and the tackle pole. But I mean, it happens as
• 27:45
  Speaker 3: a pin, pin and pole, but, but that's generally not
• 27:47
  Speaker 3: something that, that you see as frequently. And so they just,
• 27:51
  Speaker 3: you know, buttoned up their assignments on that and they
• 27:53
  Speaker 3: never saw a problem from it again. That's just the
• 27:56
  Speaker 3: way Mike McDonald operates.
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: Uh, I think we should in a, in a, in
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: a minute here. What about that McBride catch on the sideline?
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: Was that not something from a tight end to be
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: able to get both those feet down on that sideline
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: play late in the game?
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: He's special. You know, I, I look at stats a lot.
• 28:16
  Speaker 3: you know, particularly in advance of a game, you know,
• 28:19
  Speaker 3: looking and, you know, I'll look at things like EPA,
• 28:22
  Speaker 3: the expected points and the new Sabre matrician stuff, because it's,
• 28:26
  Speaker 3: you know, you run the correlation numbers and it really
• 28:29
  Speaker 3: correlates high to winning. So I think it's relevant in
• 28:32
  Speaker 3: the story. And certainly coaches are aware of stats, you know,
• 28:38
  Speaker 3: frequencies and what have you. And when I encountered Trey McBride,
• 28:43
  Speaker 3: all I needed to know was that that he had
• 28:45
  Speaker 3: 66 catches coming into the game. And the next closest
• 28:49
  Speaker 3: guy Bowers at the Raiders had 41. Once, once I
• 28:55
  Speaker 3: read that, I was like, what else am I going
• 28:57
  Speaker 3: to tell KJR that, that need that to get people's
• 29:01
  Speaker 3: attention about Trey McBride? Like, like that's it. I goes, okay,
• 29:04
  Speaker 3: I can move on to the next guy. Cause you're
• 29:06
  Speaker 3: not going to find anything after that. Now, you know,
• 29:08
  Speaker 3: I did go looking and, you know, he's number one
• 29:10
  Speaker 3: in corner routes and there was other stuff we talked
• 29:12
  Speaker 3: about last week, but, The dude is special. He's 6'3
• 29:16
  Speaker 3: and 5'8 at the combine, which was 24th percentile, with
• 29:21
  Speaker 3: obviously 100th percentile being the tallest. So he's in the
• 29:25
  Speaker 3: bottom quarter of height for all tight ends. So what's
• 29:31
  Speaker 3: the tradeoff? He's a second rounder, probably because of that fact.
• 29:36
  Speaker 3: If he was 6'4 and 5'8, he's probably... a first
• 29:40
  Speaker 3: rounder but just being a little bit lower to the
• 29:44
  Speaker 3: uh to the ground uh he's got strong legs he's
• 29:49
  Speaker 3: really quick in and out of the brakes uh because
• 29:52
  Speaker 3: he's short by tight end standards but he's very strong
• 29:55
  Speaker 3: extremely strong hands in fact his The highest thing that
• 29:58
  Speaker 3: he had on his combine, the highest percentile, was his
• 30:01
  Speaker 3: hand size. I think he was up over pushing 80 percentile. So, yeah,
• 30:06
  Speaker 3: he's just a really gifted, instinctive receiver, strong, great closing ability.
• 30:14
  Speaker 3: In a lot of ways, he's the JSN of tight ends.
• 30:19
  Speaker 3: Shorter legs, strong hands, great instincts, super high IQ. And, yeah,
• 30:27
  Speaker 3: that play he made on the sideline was special, for sure.
• 30:30
  Speaker 3: It was legit. And, you know, Julian Love, I don't
• 30:36
  Speaker 3: know how I could tell him to guard it differently. Right.
• 30:39
  Speaker 3: If you're coaching him, you say, hey, Julian, just keep
• 30:43
  Speaker 3: doing what you're doing. Because if they can make that
• 30:45
  Speaker 3: throwing catch, because, I mean, Minshew, he threw that thing
• 30:48
  Speaker 3: out of a well. He damn near got his arm
• 30:50
  Speaker 3: hit again. So the throw was special. The catch was special.
• 30:54
  Speaker 3: It was the only place it could have been. I
• 30:57
  Speaker 3: can't say the coverage was special, but it was damn good.
• 30:59
  Speaker 3: That was just three professional athletes doing their job. And
• 31:04
  Speaker 3: the guys in the Cardinal uniforms did it just a
• 31:06
  Speaker 3: wee bit better. Yeah, tip your hat. That was a
• 31:09
  Speaker 3: hell of a play.
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: And what does it say about Eamon Worry that he
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: so many times locked in on McBride, including the play
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: that pretty much sealed the game where he kept him
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: from getting in the goal line? I mean, three weeks ago,
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: I'm watching him guard Xavier Worthy, uh, down the field.
• 31:25
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: And then yesterday he takes on the best tight end
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: in the national football league and wins more than he loses.
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 31:31
  Speaker 3: I mean, when the alarm goes off at 4.00 AM
• 31:35
  Speaker 3: and I think, oh man, I'm kind of tired. I
• 31:37
  Speaker 3: got to watch this Seahawks game. And then, and then
• 31:39
  Speaker 3: the thought hits me, but I get to see Nick
• 31:42
  Speaker 3: him and worry. And then all of a sudden I
• 31:44
  Speaker 3: spring out of bed. It's so fun to watch that dude,
• 31:49
  Speaker 3: his athleticism. And, And, uh, you know, in the first drive, uh, I,
• 31:56
  Speaker 3: I mentioned, you know, they busted a coverage on that first, um,
• 31:59
  Speaker 3: Julian love. I think, I think he busted the coverage.
• 32:01
  Speaker 3: It looked like everybody else was playing covered too. And
• 32:04
  Speaker 3: he came down now I could be wrong. Cause that's
• 32:06
  Speaker 3: hard for me to say he, he might be my
• 32:08
  Speaker 3: favorite Seahawk, but, but one thing I do know is that, um,
• 32:13
  Speaker 3: that Job was playing cloud and which is, is a flat, um, play, uh,
• 32:19
  Speaker 3: for the, the corner and then the safety has to
• 32:22
  Speaker 3: be over the top and love came down and he
• 32:24
  Speaker 3: was not over the top. So they give it, give
• 32:26
  Speaker 3: up a 25 yarder, but, but, uh, that, that first drive,
• 32:31
  Speaker 3: those four big plays in succession, back to back to
• 32:34
  Speaker 3: back to back, uh, got them down into, into the
• 32:38
  Speaker 3: red zone. And then three plays happen. I mentioned the
• 32:41
  Speaker 3: Ernest Jones stoned Algiers on first down Minshew Skymills, a, a, uh,
• 32:49
  Speaker 3: a screen pass on second down that certainly would have
• 32:53
  Speaker 3: gone for 10 yards or more might've come close to scoring.
• 32:56
  Speaker 3: How would we be doing if we were doing Phoenix, uh, uh, uh, uh,
• 33:02
  Speaker 3: radio talk right now, uh, and reviewing the Cardinals in
• 33:05
  Speaker 3: that regard, that was the second down. And then third down,
• 33:08
  Speaker 3: you had Eamon worry. That was your question. So I'm
• 33:10
  Speaker 3: finally getting to it. Eamon worry was locked in on
• 33:13
  Speaker 3: man and man where, where you had, uh, McBride who
• 33:17
  Speaker 3: ran a corner out. He's number one in the NFL
• 33:20
  Speaker 3: each of the last three years in running corner outs.
• 33:22
  Speaker 3: He had a corner out to the right for a
• 33:24
  Speaker 3: touchdown late in the game against the Cowboys last week,
• 33:28
  Speaker 3: so they were ready for that play. Eamon Wurre had
• 33:32
  Speaker 3: outside leverage on an out-breaking route. That's perfect. He just
• 33:35
  Speaker 3: gloved him up. It was great scheming and great coverage,
• 33:38
  Speaker 3: and you're absolutely right. Mike McDonald tells you what he
• 33:42
  Speaker 3: thinks of his guys when he plays cover one. Because
• 33:45
  Speaker 3: that's the determination. Like when Reek Wolin was covering Puka
• 33:49
  Speaker 3: Nakua at the end of the NFC Championship game on
• 33:53
  Speaker 3: cover one, that told you what they think of him.
• 33:57
  Speaker 3: And yesterday on that play, they said, we're going to
• 34:00
  Speaker 3: cover one. Eamon Worry, you take McBride. It's beautiful. Yeah, yeah.
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: I'm going to say this too. I don't know if
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: he's even going to play in a couple of weeks.
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: But when we face Mike Evans again, I want to
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: see three on him. I want to see three on him.
• 34:12
  Speaker 3: I really do. You know, it's not an absurd proposition.
• 34:15
  Speaker 3: It really isn't. Now, it affects a lot of other things. Yeah.
• 34:20
  Speaker 3: But if you just say, you know, you're a corner
• 34:23
  Speaker 3: on this play, it wouldn't be the dumbest idea I've
• 34:27
  Speaker 3: ever seen on tape. It wouldn't be mine either. All right,
• 34:31
  Speaker 3: Hugh Millen is with us.
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: You know, sometimes it sounds petty to rip on the
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: officials after a loss, but you can do it after
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: a victory, right?
• 34:39
  Speaker 3: Sports Radio 93.3 KJR FM. All right, Chuck, Anders, and
• 34:57

  Speaker 2: And so Tulalip Resort Casino, where you want more of everything,
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: it is waiting for you.
• 35:35
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: We've got a lot more things to get into, but Hugh,
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: we haven't given you a couple minutes to just go
• 35:41
  Speaker 2: off on officials in quite some time. I mean, I
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: think it's the best time to do it is after
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: a win. I thought that was terrible yesterday. You brought
• 35:51
  Speaker 2: up the forward progress. play on McBride. I didn't think
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: that Virgil made the catch on the sideline. I don't
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: think Barner held on to the touchdown in the end zone. Frankly,
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: I don't think Joe was a PI. I think they
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: missed a Seahawk false start, uh, on a big play.
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: I mean, I thought they were atrocious them and the
• 36:10
  Speaker 2: challenge booth all game long.
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 36:14
  Speaker 3: And before I, I addressed that, I had promised, uh, the, the, uh,
• 36:20
  Speaker 3: here's some house cleaning. I'd promised the first down numbers.
• 36:24
  Speaker 3: and I meant to get to it last segment, and
• 36:26
  Speaker 3: since I promised it, if you'll allow me, here's the numbers. Now,
• 36:31
  Speaker 3: with 422 to go in the game on a first
• 36:36
  Speaker 3: down in the four-minute offense, just trying to salt the
• 36:39
  Speaker 3: game away, Charbonnet ran for 17 yards. That's a hell
• 36:42
  Speaker 3: of a play. I'm not taking anything away from it.
• 36:44
  Speaker 3: But the impressions prior to that, there was 14 first-down
• 36:48
  Speaker 3: runs And the average was 2.8 yards. And they only
• 36:57
  Speaker 3: got to four yards on six of those and more
• 37:04
  Speaker 3: than four yards on two of those. So they only
• 37:07
  Speaker 3: got to more than four yards on two of 14.
• 37:10
  Speaker 3: And as I said, average of 2.8. As for the
• 37:13
  Speaker 3: goat herders, I hope they got a lot of extra
• 37:17
  Speaker 3: milk this week in their vats. Because they they were
• 37:20
  Speaker 3: particularly focused on their goat herding and not what they
• 37:25
  Speaker 3: the job they had on Sunday at one o'clock. It's
• 37:29
  Speaker 3: just perplexing. And and look, I don't think you mentioned it.
• 37:33
  Speaker 3: I don't think that that the Barner was probably a
• 37:36
  Speaker 3: touchdown in the modern times. You know, the modern day
• 37:39
  Speaker 3: with with with slowing it down. Um, but I think
• 37:43
  Speaker 3: even he knew it.
• 37:44
  Speaker 2: I think he was surprised when it, when it went
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: up to the booth and came back down. I think
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: he was expecting it to get overturned.
• 37:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Well, you want, you know, the, the Miami hurricanes,
• 37:54
  Speaker 3: Notre Dame deal. I mean, I think as fans, I
• 37:58
  Speaker 3: think as fans, if you just put us in a
• 38:00
  Speaker 3: room with a blank piece of paper and a pencil
• 38:02
  Speaker 3: and said, write a short essay on what is a completion.
• 38:05
  Speaker 3: I think that we might just blow every fuse in
• 38:08
  Speaker 3: all of our brains. I don't know that any of
• 38:10
  Speaker 3: us could write anything coherent whatsoever. It would just be
• 38:14
  Speaker 3: gibberish if I tried to actually articulate what constitutes a completion. Right?
• 38:23
  Speaker 3: I mean, and then, you know, the holding call on Witherspoon. Yeah.
• 38:34
  Speaker 3: Or whatever it was. That was absurd. Legal use of hands. Yeah.
• 38:41
  Speaker 3: I'm not a big fan of the Ernest Jones penalty.
• 38:45
  Speaker 3: Maybe it's old school. I think that there's got to
• 38:47
  Speaker 3: be something that just looks more predatory in its scope
• 38:55
  Speaker 3: than that to me. Because it's a funny thing. It
• 38:58
  Speaker 3: turns out that the helmet is really close to the
• 39:02
  Speaker 3: shoulder pad. And so a lot of times you come
• 39:05
  Speaker 3: in and, I don't know, their idea of contact, I
• 39:11
  Speaker 3: don't always agree with that.
• 39:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it was a rough day. They had a rough day.
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: It was a rough day. Plus 17 penalties on top
• 39:18
  Speaker 2: of it, so they were way too many. There were
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: three holding calls.
• 39:22
  Speaker 3: On one play at one point. Didn't he seem to
• 39:26
  Speaker 3: relish that announcement, too? Oh, yeah.
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 39:30
  Speaker 4: I know.
• 39:30
  Speaker 3: We got three holding calls on the offense. Man, it
• 39:34
  Speaker 3: seemed like that was fun for him. Were they getting
• 39:38
  Speaker 3: paid by the flag? Did they change the pay structure
• 39:43
  Speaker 3: for those guys yesterday? But what was the worst one?
• 39:46
  Speaker 3: I've got my worst. Andrew, what was your worst one?
• 39:50
  Speaker 3: I mean... What was the most brutal exhibition of goat herding?
• 39:56
  Speaker 4: It has to be the catch that they didn't... I
• 39:59
  Speaker 4: forget who it was, the Arizona guy on the sideline there,
• 40:01
  Speaker 4: where it was obvious the guy was out of bounds.
• 40:03
  Speaker 3: Virgil. Virgil, yes. And like.
• 40:06
  Speaker 4: You could see his feet. There was multiple ways where
• 40:10
  Speaker 4: once they choose that, you know, it is a catch. Oh,
• 40:13
  Speaker 4: they ruled it on the field so they can't overturn it.
• 40:14
  Speaker 4: You absolutely can't overturn it in that situation.
• 40:17
  Speaker 3: You could see his feet out of bounds.
• 40:18
  Speaker 2: Like when neither foot was out of bounds by the
• 40:22
  Speaker 2: time he actually had the ball.
• 40:23
  Speaker 3: And it's worse when they have replay and still get
• 40:26
  Speaker 3: it wrong. Right.
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 40:27
  Speaker 3: Exactly. How about you, Chuck?
• 40:30
  Speaker 2: I think it's when they pulled the teat real hard
• 40:34
  Speaker 2: on Thursday and it injured the goat.
• 40:37
  Speaker 3: I think that's probably what I would go with. Yeah. Well, yeah,
• 40:42
  Speaker 3: it was a bad Thursday for them. They set the tone.
• 40:44
  Speaker 3: It was a harbinger. I think I'm still trying to
• 40:50
  Speaker 3: wrap my head around that forward progress.
• 40:52
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah.
• 40:55
  Speaker 3: That is the most routine. And by the way, Drake Thomas,
• 41:00
  Speaker 3: he sniffed that out. He knew the hot was coming.
• 41:03
  Speaker 3: It was a two-yard gain, made the tackle. But McBride,
• 41:08
  Speaker 3: he's immediately turning and going forward. He gets punched. Peanut
• 41:11
  Speaker 3: punch is like the definition. It's like teaching tape on
• 41:15
  Speaker 3: how to defend. Oh, yeah. The Seahawks will get a
• 41:20
  Speaker 3: letter that says, yeah, we blew that one. Those ones,
• 41:24
  Speaker 3: I should say, plural. Yeah, exactly. All right. More with
• 41:27
  Speaker 3: Hugh Mellon.
• 41:28
  Speaker 2: We've got more quarterback stuff to discuss. We've got a
• 41:33
  Speaker 2: trading deadline coming up and anything else. We've got another
• 41:36
  Speaker 2: hour to go here. It's Chuck and Anders with you.
• 41:40
  Speaker 2: Monday morning quarterback session with Hugh on KJR.
