  Speaker 1: time for Ian's weekly visit with Rob Rang from FoxSports.com.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: Brought to you by Firelli's Pizza. On your home for
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: the 12th man in the NFL. Sports Radio 93.3 KJR FM.
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: All right, let's go. Let's get to it. Rob Rang,
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: this is a massive weekend coming up. An absolutely massive weekend.
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: Before we get to the college games, sometimes we have
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: the light schedule. I think last week was a little light.
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: Some of the good matchups, names, and all that. Then
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: you have a week like this where we won't even
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: get to everything we need to talk about in college football.
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: But Rob, I should mention right now at FoxSports.com, you've
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: got your mock draft up there, right? Up there right now,
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: as well as the quarterbacks that need to be picked, right?
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: Is that what I can find right now at FoxSports.com?
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: It's the first round mock draft in and my top
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: 50 big board. So it might as well be April
• 2:05
  Speaker 4: because we are fully on draft season.
• 2:07
  Speaker 6: I love it.
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: That's good stuff.
• 2:08
  Speaker 7: All right.
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: By the way, did I see this right? Big win
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: for your BC Lions last week?
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: Yes, sir.
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: We were playing for the opportunity to go to the
• 2:17
  Speaker 4: Grey Cup this weekend. Saturday, a fly out. Friday night
• 2:21
  Speaker 4: to Edmonton. And so excited for this opportunity. It'll be
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: a long time coming for the BC Lions to once
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: again hoist the Grey Cup.
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: The Lions against the Elks of Edmonton. All right. City
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: of Champions, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. Go get them. Good luck
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: to the Orange and the Black with the BC Lions.
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: We've got a lot to get to today, including No.
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: 1 Miami taking on Notre Dame, BYU-Utah, all these games.
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: Let's just start with the first game of the day,
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: and that's BYU and Utah.
• 2:50
  Speaker 6: No. 9, No.
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: 3 in terms of college football playoff rankings are a concern.
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: There's a lot of guys to look at in this game,
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: and let's start with that matchup. Rob, what are we
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: watching tomorrow morning at 9 a.m.
• 3:01
  Speaker 6: On ABC?
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: Well, you know, we've talked a lot about BYU already.
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: The quarterback, Bear Bachmeier, is one of my favorite players,
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: regardless of position. Just the toughness that he plays with,
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: you know, his ability as a dual threat player, dual
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: threat quarterback, runner, passer. It just feels like he makes
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: his most special plays and the brightest moments. So I'm
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: certainly excited for this opportunity for him. The running back
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: LJ Martin is a player we've talked about as well
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: as BYU's two linebackers, Cade Uluwabe and Isaiah Glasker. They
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: are both legitimate NFL prospects as well. We have not,
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: crazy enough, we have not talked much about the Utah Utes.
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: And considering the fact they're the number three team in
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: the country, maybe we should be shifting our focus to them.
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: Of course, the quarterback, Devin Dampier, is going to get
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: plenty of attention. To me, he's a fringe NFL guy, probably.
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: He's going to be somebody in the CFL that they're
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: going to be looking at because you don't see the
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: elite traits with him. But again, he is a dynamic
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: dual threat passer himself. That said, the running back, unfortunately,
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: gives me no joy to mention.
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: I know where you're going. I know where you're going, sir.
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: I know you're going to weigh Sean Parker out. I
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: know what you're doing. I see what you're doing here.
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: Well, Wayshawn Parker is an absolute superstar.
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: I mean, and he is a player that I think
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: more people nationally need to be talking about. You know,
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: he led the Big 12 with a 6.6 yard average
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: a year ago, and he's averaging 6.7 yards per carry
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: so far this season. He's got 27 touchdowns and 33
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: career games. And what I like most about him, Ian,
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: is his soft hands and reliable route running. They split
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: him out like a wide receiver. And he shows great
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: hands and great toughness between the tackles. He can make
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: people miss in the open field. He can put them
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: on their backside. You know, again, I hate mentioning players
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: that there's some local fans here aren't going to like
• 5:09
  Speaker 4: this comparison, but he reminds me a little bit of
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: DeAndre Swift, who of course, was very successful with the
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: Chicago Bears against the Seahawks here this past weekend.
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: Or excuse me, on Monday night.
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: I just see a back that is a legitimate NFL prospect,
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: a day two prospect at that.
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: He's a junior.
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: He could be looking at the NFL draft, especially if
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: he has a flashy performance against BYU's terrific linebacker core.
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: And then finally, kind of saving the best for last,
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: probably the fastest rising quarterback prospect uh west of the
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: mississippi right now might be zero way williams the big
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: left tackle for utah and he didn't start a single
• 5:47
  Speaker 4: game for utah over his first four years of the
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: program because they had spencer fano and caleb lomu two
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: first round picks a year ago but he is just
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: a dynamic athlete we talked about him a little bit
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: a couple of weeks ago six foot eight 305 pounds
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: uh just a his athletic ability when you watch him
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: on tape it's just like drops your jaw Now, he
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: still has to work on leverage, so he has to
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: get stronger. But just based on his footwork and his size,
• 6:15
  Speaker 4: this is a first-round selection. So very much one of
• 6:19
  Speaker 4: the players that I wanted to highlight in the mock
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: draft and the big board.
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: Just a big game at 9 a.m. Just back to
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: Wayshawn Parker for a second. When he was at Wazoo,
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: I always felt like he was small. It looks like
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: he's bigger now. Is he NFL-size type? Is there a comp?
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: What are we looking at?
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I use the DeAndre Swift comp here, and I
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: just think that he is, they list him.
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: At 5'11, or 199 pounds.
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: I think that you can still add another five pounds
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: to his frame. I don't think he's ever going to
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: be that 220-pound masher, but I think that he can be,
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: he does play with physicality. He is certainly bigger than
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: I ever saw him in Pullman, and I still think
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: that he has a little bit more room to add
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: to his frame.
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: Uh, Rob rang joining us, foxsports.com. He's our draft insider,
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: by the way, it's all brought to you by our
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: good friends at Farrelly's pizza, Farrelly's pizza.com. We'll tell you
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: more about them coming up a great spot to go
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: before and after a high school games playoff start this
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: weekend tonight. So if you're out and about, make sure
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: you find your Farrelly's pre or post game as well.
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: More on what they've got going on in a second.
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: Let's talk a couple teams we haven't spent a lot
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: of time on. No. 6, Kentucky.
• 7:25
  Speaker 5: No.
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: 13, Tennessee. Again, another game that has college football playoff ramifications.
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: Who are the players we're watching in this one?
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: Yeah, there's a couple of players here that I think
• 7:34
  Speaker 4: would be really interesting for Seahawks fans. We've talked a
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: little bit about Abe Lucas' struggles at right tackle. For Kentucky,
• 7:44
  Speaker 4: they've got a player. He's actually the very first player
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: you're going to see if you go to that big
• 7:49
  Speaker 4: board on foxsports.com.
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: And I actually have it in descending order.
• 7:53
  Speaker 4: So Lance Hurd, the big right tackle, number 53, is
• 7:57
  Speaker 4: not my top-rated player. We've talked a lot about Jeremiah Smith.
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: That's my top-rated player. But 50th on my board. Very
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: much a second-round selection. Could sneak into the late portion
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: of the first round. is, again, the big right tackle
• 8:11
  Speaker 4: for Kentucky. Actually plays left tackle for them, but I
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: project him as a right tackle in the NFL. He
• 8:16
  Speaker 4: has played right tackle as well as on the blind side.
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: In his previous stops at Tennessee and at LSU, he
• 8:24
  Speaker 4: won the opportunity to play left tackle, and that's why
• 8:27
  Speaker 4: he transferred to Kentucky. He's 6'5, he's 325 pounds. He
• 8:30
  Speaker 4: certainly isn't the dancing bear, athletically speaking, like what we
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: talked about. with Utah's Zeroway Williams, but he is powerful.
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: And so if you are looking for a right tackle
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: that's going to move people at the line of scrimmage,
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: then Lance Hurd is definitely one to watch. And then
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: I mentioned before, again, Zeroway Williams, the offensive lineman for Utah,
• 8:50
  Speaker 4: he's probably the fastest rising player west of the Mississippi.
• 8:53
  Speaker 4: If you want to go to Tennessee in the SEC country,
• 8:57
  Speaker 4: The fastest rising player is no question about it is
• 9:00
  Speaker 4: Xavier Gilliam. He wears number two, and he has been
• 9:04
  Speaker 4: spectacular at the defensive tackle position.
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: Six foot two, he's 295 pounds.
• 9:09
  Speaker 4: He's a former Penn State guy, and he has just
• 9:12
  Speaker 4: been terrific so far this season. He's got as good
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: a first step as any defensive tackle I've seen all
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: year long. He's got 11 and a half tackles for loss,
• 9:20
  Speaker 4: six sacks so far for the Vols. And he was
• 9:23
  Speaker 4: viewed as maybe a mid-round prospect entering this year.
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: Now, I think that he is going to be an
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: easy first-round stick.
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: So I have him 21st overall on my big board.
• 9:33
  Speaker 4: And a lot of other people out there in the
• 9:35
  Speaker 4: media world are a little bit late on him. But
• 9:37
  Speaker 4: Gilliam is going to be a defensive tackle. You're going
• 9:40
  Speaker 4: to continue to see rise up the draft board as
• 9:42
  Speaker 4: this process unfolds.
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: That's Kentucky and Tennessee coming up tomorrow as well. I'll
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: save it just for a second. I mean, the marquee game, obviously,
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: at 4.30 is Notre Dame and Miami. We'll get to
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: that in just a couple seconds. Let's talk about Texas
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: and Missouri.
• 9:55
  Speaker 6: No.
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: 7 Texas, No. 18 Missouri. Again, college football playoff implications here.
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: We've talked a lot about Arch Manning and other players.
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: Bad news, obviously, for Texas. They lose one of their
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: top running backs who's out for the season now in Hollywood.
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: But they've got some other guys, and certainly Missouri has
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: some dudes as well who we're watching here.
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: Well, that's the thing, Ian.
• 10:14
  Speaker 4: I mean, the storyline really is the quarterbacks and then
• 10:18
  Speaker 4: all the injuries that the Longhorns have sustained. You mentioned
• 10:22
  Speaker 4: Hollywood Smothers. The running back here is now out for
• 10:25
  Speaker 4: the season. Trevor Goosby, their left tackle, who was viewed
• 10:28
  Speaker 4: as almost a first-round cinch on tape. But his medical questions,
• 10:34
  Speaker 4: and this is the young man who got open-heart surgery
• 10:37
  Speaker 4: as a teenager, has had it. recurring knee issues. Now
• 10:40
  Speaker 4: the latest is a torn ACL. It's going to require
• 10:42
  Speaker 4: season ending injury yet again for him.
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: So that's tragic. And then the arguably.
• 10:49
  Speaker 4: The best defensive player in the entire country, Colin Simmons,
• 10:52
  Speaker 4: the number two rated prospect on that big board I
• 10:55
  Speaker 4: mentioned before, he is also going to be out for
• 10:57
  Speaker 4: this game. I mean, he reminds me of Micah Parsons.
• 11:00
  Speaker 4: I mean, this guy is absolutely fantastic, but he's not
• 11:03
  Speaker 4: going to be on the field before Texas. So again,
• 11:06
  Speaker 4: A lot of the storyline is about guys who aren't
• 11:08
  Speaker 4: actually going to be playing on the field. To me,
• 11:11
  Speaker 4: the big storyline is still Arch Manning. And can he
• 11:14
  Speaker 4: start to play with a little bit more consistency that
• 11:17
  Speaker 4: you would expect? The same thing with his wide receiver,
• 11:20
  Speaker 4: Cam Coleman, who's got some dynamic plays, but also has
• 11:23
  Speaker 4: let a couple of balls drop through his hands in
• 11:26
  Speaker 4: a very ugly fashion. Easy touchdowns that just simply slipped
• 11:30
  Speaker 4: through his hands. It's one of the reasons why the
• 11:32
  Speaker 4: comparison I have for him is Quinton Johnston and The
• 11:35
  Speaker 4: Los Angeles Chargers, a first-round pick, but struggled with drops
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: in college, and it should surprise no one that he
• 11:41
  Speaker 4: struggled with drops here in the NFL. Quinson Johnston, of course,
• 11:45
  Speaker 4: for the Chargers. Ryan Wingo, to me, is actually the better,
• 11:48
  Speaker 4: more reliable wide receiver for Texas and actually is going
• 11:51
  Speaker 4: to probably project as a better, more consistent player in
• 11:54
  Speaker 4: the NFL. Again, I think that Seahawks fans are going
• 11:58
  Speaker 4: to be kind of watching the offensive tackles this year.
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: And Melvin Siani.
• 12:03
  Speaker 4: The right tackle, doesn't get nearly as much attention as
• 12:06
  Speaker 4: Trevor Goosby got on the right, on the left side.
• 12:09
  Speaker 4: But Melvin Siani is a Rutgers transfer who is has
• 12:11
  Speaker 4: played well, and so he is somebody to kind of
• 12:13
  Speaker 4: keep in mind. At the Missouri side, again, the quarterback
• 12:16
  Speaker 4: is going to get all the attention. Quarterback Austin Simmons,
• 12:19
  Speaker 4: he transferred from Ole Miss. He's got a 16-2 touchdown-to-interception ratio.
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: He's got the size.
• 12:25
  Speaker 4: He's a left-hander, and there's a lot of people out
• 12:27
  Speaker 4: there who always get nervous about left-handed quarterbacks, but he
• 12:32
  Speaker 4: just throws beautiful, accurate football. He was the starter at
• 12:36
  Speaker 4: Ole Miss over Trinidad Chambliss until they went down with
• 12:40
  Speaker 4: an injury. But again, he is very much somebody to
• 12:44
  Speaker 4: be watching. If he had a little bit more experience,
• 12:46
  Speaker 4: I think you can justifiably put him in that first
• 12:49
  Speaker 4: round conversation. But this is his one and only season
• 12:52
  Speaker 4: so far as a starter. And that's pretty lofty praise
• 12:56
  Speaker 4: to be putting him in any kind of first round conversation.
• 12:59
  Speaker 4: That's why he is not in my first round mock
• 13:01
  Speaker 4: draft or in the big board, although he definitely has talent.
• 13:04
  Speaker 4: My favorite player for Missouri for the Seahawks at this
• 13:08
  Speaker 4: point would be Caden Green. He plays left tackle. Previously,
• 13:12
  Speaker 4: he played left guard at Oklahoma. I think that his
• 13:16
  Speaker 4: positional versatility, his athletic ability, 6'5, 325 pounds, that he
• 13:21
  Speaker 4: is somebody that the Seahawks would be interested in again
• 13:23
  Speaker 4: because of his athletic ability, size, and versatility.
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: I love this stuff. I'm going to I'm going to
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: jump to the, which is also, it's not an elimination
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: game apparently for Alabama because they're ranked pretty damn high
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: at number five. It is for LSU. But I want
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: to ask you about a player Seahawk-wise for Alabama. You
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: just talked about the dropsies for wide receivers. Ryan Coleman-Williams
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: came in with as much hype as probably Jeremiah Smith
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: did at Ohio State. Hasn't had that same progression up,
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: and there have been some drops along the way, but
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: I'm going to tell you right now, Rob, you know
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: this as well as anybody. If you're a Seahawks fan,
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: you should be watching wide receivers around the country because
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: they are in dire need of help for JSN.
• 13:59
  Speaker 4: They are, and Ryan Coleman-Williams is dynamic. The comparison I
• 14:04
  Speaker 4: used for him is Devontae Smith. Of course, he was
• 14:08
  Speaker 4: a star with the Philadelphia Eagles, former Heisman Trophy winner.
• 14:11
  Speaker 4: The concern I have with Ryan Coleman Williams is just
• 14:13
  Speaker 4: the durability factor. It drops, certainly. But, you know, he's
• 14:18
  Speaker 4: a slim-built guy. He's probably 180 pounds soaking wet. And
• 14:22
  Speaker 4: so that's my concern with him is once the physicality
• 14:25
  Speaker 4: just gets that much bigger or that much greater in
• 14:28
  Speaker 4: the NFL, the defenders get that much bigger, then, again,
• 14:31
  Speaker 4: is he going to be able to hold up? But
• 14:33
  Speaker 4: at the same time, I mean, he is just as
• 14:36
  Speaker 4: silky smooth as it gets. He accelerates in a flash.
• 14:40
  Speaker 4: uh you know he's a he's a playmaker um very
• 14:42
  Speaker 4: exciting player so so somebody i think i have him
• 14:46
  Speaker 4: 43rd or so in the 40s um in that mock
• 14:48
  Speaker 4: draft or in the the big board i do not
• 14:50
  Speaker 4: have him in the first round of the mock draft
• 14:52
  Speaker 4: but i think that he justifiably could be that if
• 14:55
  Speaker 4: he was to play with a little bit more consistency
• 14:57
  Speaker 4: in terms of the drops in terms of the durability
• 15:00
  Speaker 4: but again Absolutely fantastic playmaker for them. There's a couple
• 15:03
  Speaker 4: of players in Alabama that we haven't talked about and
• 15:05
  Speaker 4: that I do think that, again, Seattle fans should be
• 15:08
  Speaker 4: really paying attention to. Yonsei Pierre, we've talked about a
• 15:11
  Speaker 4: little bit, number zero. And he kind of plays like
• 15:14
  Speaker 4: Seattle's number zero in DeMarcus Lawrence. Very physical at the
• 15:18
  Speaker 4: point of attack. He isn't necessarily that quick pass rusher,
• 15:21
  Speaker 4: quick twitch, quick win type of pass rusher. that I
• 15:25
  Speaker 4: think the Seahawks frankly are missing right now, but he
• 15:28
  Speaker 4: does play with the violence and the physicality, the commitment
• 15:32
  Speaker 4: to the running game that Mike McDonald has always prioritized.
• 15:35
  Speaker 4: And then number one, Devin Tompkins, he's six foot five,
• 15:39
  Speaker 4: he's 300 pounds. Physically, he looks a little bit like
• 15:42
  Speaker 4: Leonard Williams. He was actually compared to Leonard Williams when
• 15:45
  Speaker 4: he began his college career at USC. They line up
• 15:49
  Speaker 4: this six foot five, 300 pounder Ian as a traditional
• 15:53
  Speaker 4: rush linebackers that have the two point stance. I mean,
• 15:56
  Speaker 4: a 300 pounder and two point stance is very, very rare.
• 15:59
  Speaker 4: He is another one of those players who has very
• 16:01
  Speaker 4: much boosted his stock so far this season.

• 16:41
  Speaker 2: near you. All right, we've got a few more minutes.
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: I do want to get to this because I think
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: it's key. Oregon somehow is still in it. 23 in
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: the country. They're taking on No. 12 Ohio State. We
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: know the injuries for Oregon, especially with Dante Moore. We've
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: talked about that a lot. Julian Sane out for Ohio State,
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: so both teams going with backup quarterbacks. I don't know
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: if it matters. Jeremiah Smith. Is Jeremiah Smith No. 1?
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: I want people to read your big board story. Where's
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: Jeremiah Smith on your big board?
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah. He's number one.
• 17:11
  Speaker 4: And I think that the Colin Simmons, again, the, the
• 17:13
  Speaker 4: address from Texas, uh, you could make an argument for
• 17:16
  Speaker 4: him just because of the, the, the value of the
• 17:18
  Speaker 4: edge rusher position.
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: But Jeremiah Smith is about as safe.
• 17:22
  Speaker 4: I hate to say this because it seems like sometimes
• 17:24
  Speaker 4: when I say a player is safe and they end
• 17:26
  Speaker 4: up being a bust in the NFL. Uh, but Jeremiah
• 17:29
  Speaker 4: Smith is as good of a prospect.
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: As I've ever seen.
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: All right, let's get to the main event. Uh, four
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: 30 Miami, uh, At Notre Dame, number one versus number 11.
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: This is very simple. If Notre Dame loses this game,
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: they're not going to the college football playoff for the
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: second year in a row. That's just not going to happen.
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: They don't have a path to get enough. It's almost
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: college basketball-like in terms of wins. They need a quad
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: one win. This would be a quad one win. That
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: would basically be elimination for them. Miami is secure in
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: its spot. They're just trying to stay at that number
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: one spot in the college football playoff rankings. Let's start that. Now,
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: Malachi Toney is one of your top guys. He's out
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: for the next six weeks. What does that do for Miami?
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: I think it's a crushing blow to Miami.
• 18:14
  Speaker 4: Malachi Toney, to me, I just mentioned that I think
• 18:17
  Speaker 4: that Jeremiah Smith is the best player I've ever evaluated.
• 18:20
  Speaker 4: I mean, he is fantastic. Malachi Toney is a top 15,
• 18:24
  Speaker 4: top 20 selection player. if he were eligible for this draft,
• 18:28
  Speaker 4: he's a true sophomore. So he is not going to
• 18:31
  Speaker 4: be eligible for this draft, but he is spectacular. And it's,
• 18:34
  Speaker 4: you know, I was, uh, you know, talking with some
• 18:37
  Speaker 4: folks and trying to come up with a, an accurate
• 18:40
  Speaker 4: comparison form. And I'm going to mention a couple of
• 18:42
  Speaker 4: players here, um, for the Seahawks that I think might
• 18:46
  Speaker 4: give people an idea of what he can do so well.
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: He has some of the.
• 18:50
  Speaker 4: Lateral agility and balance and quickness similar to Jackson Smith
• 18:54
  Speaker 4: and Jigba and, but with some of the explosive breakaway
• 18:57
  Speaker 4: speed of a Percy Harvin. With more of a Percy
• 19:01
  Speaker 4: Harvin kind of golden take, kind of a 5'10, 200-pound
• 19:03
  Speaker 4: squattier frame.
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: He's physical.
• 19:07
  Speaker 4: He has juice like you very rarely see. And the
• 19:13
  Speaker 4: most underrated element of his game is his hands. He's
• 19:16
  Speaker 4: got one drop in two seasons of college football, and
• 19:20
  Speaker 4: they have thrown passes to him similar to the one
• 19:23
  Speaker 4: that we saw Torrey Horton, where he got absolutely crunched
• 19:26
  Speaker 4: against the Bears on Monday night. Unfortunately, he wasn't able
• 19:29
  Speaker 4: to make that reception. malachi tony makes that catch i
• 19:33
  Speaker 4: mean he is just a fantastic player ian i mean
• 19:36
  Speaker 4: just lightning in a bottle kind of a guy um
• 19:40
  Speaker 4: and so the loss of him it makes this game
• 19:43
  Speaker 4: a lot more even in my mind and the fact
• 19:45
  Speaker 4: that this game is you know, must win, as you said,
• 19:48
  Speaker 4: for Notre Dame, the fact they're playing in South Bend
• 19:51
  Speaker 4: and they're relatively healthy, I just think that makes this
• 19:54
  Speaker 4: a much easier game for Notre Dame to be able
• 19:57
  Speaker 4: to pull off what no longer should be considered an
• 20:00
  Speaker 4: upset in my mind. So I think that, again, this
• 20:03
  Speaker 4: is a huge loss for Miami and one that I
• 20:06
  Speaker 4: think could turn into losses down the stretch here. Miami's good,
• 20:12
  Speaker 4: but Malachi and Tony very much tilted the field in
• 20:14
  Speaker 4: their favor.
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: Who's got the quarterback? Who's got the better quarterback? Darian
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: Mensah at Miami or C.J. Carr at Notre Dame?
• 20:22
  Speaker 4: You know, it sounds like such a simple question, but
• 20:24
  Speaker 4: that's one of the most exciting things about this game
• 20:26
  Speaker 4: because they're talking to NFL teams out there.
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: There are favorites who like CJ Carr.
• 20:33
  Speaker 4: He is considered more the pro-ready kind of a guy
• 20:36
  Speaker 4: in that Notre Dame plays, they both play pro-style offenses,
• 20:41
  Speaker 4: but He has, I would argue that he is a
• 20:44
  Speaker 4: little bit better at reading defenses on the fly and
• 20:48
  Speaker 4: then making throws to varying levels of the field.
• 20:51
  Speaker 3: Short, intermediate, and deep.
• 20:54
  Speaker 4: He reads defenses and he can put the ball where
• 20:56
  Speaker 4: it needs to go. There's no question about that he
• 20:58
  Speaker 4: has a stronger arm. Darian Mensah, to me, his pre-snap
• 21:02
  Speaker 4: diagnosis is excellent. That's really one of the areas in
• 21:05
  Speaker 4: which he stars. He can read a defense. He can
• 21:07
  Speaker 4: get the ball out of his hands very quickly. He's
• 21:10
  Speaker 4: a pretty dynamic scrambler. But at the same time, there
• 21:14
  Speaker 4: are limitations with his arm. If you ask him to
• 21:18
  Speaker 4: make that opposite sideline kind of a throw, then you'll
• 21:21
  Speaker 4: see the ball float a little bit if he gets
• 21:23
  Speaker 4: on a little bit of a quarterback waggle and has
• 21:26
  Speaker 4: to scramble a little bit and then just use his arm,
• 21:29
  Speaker 4: not really traditionally step into the throw.
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: Then the ball again floats a little bit.
• 21:34
  Speaker 4: He's only had a couple of interceptions so far this season, Ian,
• 21:36
  Speaker 4: but both of them came when he wasn't able to
• 21:39
  Speaker 4: step into his throw, including an ugly interception against Florida
• 21:44
  Speaker 4: State a couple of weeks ago that really showed the
• 21:47
  Speaker 4: limitations of his arm. And without Malachi Toney, I'm fascinated
• 21:51
  Speaker 4: to see how he is able to perform in this game.
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: Now, again, he's a very good quarterback.
• 21:55
  Speaker 4: To me, he is more of a decision-maker, a guy
• 21:58
  Speaker 4: that you can win with rather than win because at
• 22:01
  Speaker 4: the NFL level. That's why I personally have C.J. Carr
• 22:04
  Speaker 4: slightly ahead of Darion Mensah, but I have both of
• 22:07
  Speaker 4: them in that latest first-round mock draft at Fox Sports.
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: I've got about a minute left, Rob, so just give
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: me somebody on Notre Dame that we need to watch.
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: Give me a name and a number of somebody on
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: Notre Dame we need to watch besides the quarterback and
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: some of the guys we've talked about.
• 22:19
  Speaker 4: Well, again, the easy one is Leonard Moore, the cornerback,
• 22:21
  Speaker 4: number 15. He is among the best players in this draft, period.
• 22:26
  Speaker 4: But Boubacar Traore, number five, is a talented pass rusher,
• 22:30
  Speaker 4: really chops his hands well. You're going to see the
• 22:32
  Speaker 4: Euro step. You're going to see a spin move. You're
• 22:35
  Speaker 4: going to see a bull rush. He is among the
• 22:37
  Speaker 4: more pro-ready pass rushers in the country. And then finally,
• 22:43
  Speaker 4: one of my absolute favorite players, the linebacker, number 27,
• 22:46
  Speaker 4: Kingston Giliamu Esa. and he is 40th on my big board,
• 22:51
  Speaker 4: but he might be my favorite player in the entire country,
• 22:54
  Speaker 4: just with the physicality, the violence with which he plays.
• 22:57
  Speaker 3: He is another one who struggled a little bit with injuries.
• 22:59
  Speaker 4: He's the kind of guy that will run into a
• 23:01
  Speaker 4: brick wall just to run into the brick wall. But
• 23:05
  Speaker 4: at the same time, if you're looking for just pure violence,
• 23:08
  Speaker 4: what linebackers are supposed to be about, Kingston Villamueza, number
• 23:13
  Speaker 4: 27 for Notre Dame, very much checks that box.
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: I will send a link out here in a second
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: of Rob's big board at foxsports.com. In the meantime, big thanks,
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: huge thanks to our friends at Forelli's Pizza, forellispizza.com. Again,
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: check out that game day menu we told you about
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: a few minutes ago. And, Rob, we will check in
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: with you next week. Thanks, my friend.
• 23:31
  Speaker 3: Thank you, Ian.
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: That's our guy, Rob Ryan. We've got our final Factor
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: Fiction Pick of the Week coming up next, 93.3 KGRFM.
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: Now back to the Washington State Beef Commission's Football Friday
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: with the Inferness on your home for the NFL.
• 23:48
  Speaker 6: Sports Radio 93.3 KJR FM.
• 23:54
  Speaker 8: But wait, KJR has told me the Seahawks are going
• 23:57
  Speaker 8: to smash the Cardinals all week long. I've heard this
• 24:01
  Speaker 8: all week. I've heard the Seahawks are going to smash
• 24:03
  Speaker 8: the Cardinals with a backup quarterback, Drew Locke, with a
• 24:06
  Speaker 8: horrible elbow in the elements probably on Sunday with a
• 24:10
  Speaker 8: beat-up offensive line. Guys, this is going to be a
• 24:13
  Speaker 8: battle on Sunday. What are we talking about, guys?
• 24:18
  Speaker 9: Hey, Ian Ober, positive Mariners guy here.
• 24:21
  Speaker 3: Great news.
• 24:21
  Speaker 6: Josh Naylor was hurt last year.
• 24:24
  Speaker 9: That's why he didn't run and hustle on ground balls.
• 24:26
  Speaker 9: That's why he had base running mistakes. And that's why
• 24:28
  Speaker 9: he had terrible situational hitting.
• 24:30
  Speaker 6: He was hurt.
• 24:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 24:32
  Speaker 6: Also, Cal Raleigh was hurt. That's why he didn't shake teammates' hands.
• 24:36
  Speaker 9: That's why he didn't show he was a leader until
• 24:37
  Speaker 9: five months of the season. That's why he swung and
• 24:40
  Speaker 9: struck out more times than me in.
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: The seventh grade. It's because they were hurt.
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: Go M's.
• 24:45
  Speaker 6: No excuses here.
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: Woo.
• 24:47
  Speaker 5: I think Blue Fridays are a shell of what they
• 24:50
  Speaker 5: used to be from back in the LOB days. I
• 24:53
  Speaker 5: remember when you used to go into, like, Safeway and
• 24:57
  Speaker 5: go down an aisle and yell, See? And then three, four, five,
• 25:02
  Speaker 5: six aisles over, you hear people going, Hawks!
• 25:05
  Speaker 3: Those were the days. You guys have a great day.
• 25:09
  Speaker 3: We will.
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: I'd try it again, sir, that just did that on
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: our talkbacks. Maybe it'll happen. Very negative tone today on
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: the old talkback line, Trav. Yeah, I kind of get it.
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: Very negative. All right. Well, again, if you're missing it,
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: if you missed it earlier, Quentin Nelson out, Sam Darnold out,
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: Charles Cross out, Jenna Nwosu out, Rashid Shahid out, Leonard
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: Williams out. That's... The Cardinals, just for the first guy,
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: how easy it is. The Cardinals are missing their top
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: running back. They're on a backup quarterback. They don't have receivers.
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: Not named Trey McBride. Michael Wilson we'll see, etc., etc.
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: Seattle should still win that game going away. It is
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: time now for Factor Fiction.
• 25:58
  Speaker 6: We're set to go. Glad you're with us.
• 26:00

• 26:27
  Speaker 2: I was surprised this had not been taken yet, and
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: we double-checked it. Not making that mistake again. Travis has
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: PTSD after earlier this week.
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: Miles Garrett's back for the L.A.
• 26:40
  Speaker 3: Rams.
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: And yes, they lost Jalen Watson. Commanders aren't very good.
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: Rams are traveling across the country, but all they have
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: to do is win by five points. Rams minus four
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: and a half.
• 26:50
  Speaker 3: Fact.
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: Four, nine, four, five, one.
• 26:52
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: As I tell you that, Rams minus 4.5, 4-9, 4-5-1. Fact, 4-9, 4-5-1.
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: If you disagree, fiction, 4-9, 4-5-1. I went back, and
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: I'll be honest with you, this is kind of just
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: a feel. I'm just guessing. I'm guessing, but the Rams
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: are better. Both teams are 4-4 against the spread. Sometimes
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: you look at that, okay, where are we at? Both
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: teams are 4-4 against the spread. What have they done?
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: There's really nothing to glean from that other than one
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: team is 2-4-1. The other team is 4-4, but the
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: 4-4 team, they're getting a lot better. They've won two
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: in a row. And, yes, they lost to the Cardinals somehow, someway,
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: but they have also covered the spread in each of
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: the last two games, winning 35-21 at the Raiders and
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: smoking the Chargers 24-9. I don't even need a touchdown
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: in this thing. I just need five points for the Rams. Yeah,
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: I'll take that all day long. Rams and, again, you
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: can root to be wrong, Maybe they lose the game,
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: but they can still win close. I think they're going
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: to win it going away. So Rams, minus 4.5, fact, 49451.
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: If you disagree, fiction, 49451. Again, all you've got to
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: do is text in right now. If you are correct
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: with agreeing or disagreeing, then you're automatically entered to win
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: a $ 1, 000 weekly prize. The more times you're right during
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: the week, and there's 20 opportunities, 735, 1135, 235, and 335,
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: the more times you are correct... the better chance you
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: have to win that $ 1, 000 weekly prize. And, of course,
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: you're in contention. If you're in contention for the $ 5, 000
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: or the $ 10, 000 grand prize, then get after that as well.
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: Make sure you get as many picks in as you
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: can because that is always a close race until the end.
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: We have one, two, three, four, five weeks after this.
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: So it's coming down to it. This is week nine.
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: Five weeks after this, so make sure you get your
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: picks in. If for no other reason to get $ 1, 000.
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: Who couldn't use $ 1, 000 cash? We all could, right? $ 1, 000 cash?
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: Love that. 49451, fact. 49451, fiction. Again, the pick one
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: more time. Rams at Washington. Rams favored by 4.5. Rams
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: got to win by 5 or more. That's how you
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: do it. Rams minus 4.5, fact.
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: 49451.
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: And if you disagree, fiction.
• 28:53
  Speaker 3: 49451.
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: No booze news today because Ashley is off. So instead,
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: we'll check in with Dave Mahler, I believe, depending on
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: what his schedule is. We'll see if he's kind enough
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: to come in and bless us with his presence. Otherwise,
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: I'll just read the Seahawks injury report because that'll take
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: 10 minutes as well. That's all coming up next. I
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: said that... You talking to me? I'm talking to you.
• 29:26
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: It's in the last segment. Ogre! I'm Ogre's heir.
• 29:29
  Speaker 6: He's hefty.
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: I was going to just spend the next 10 minutes
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: reading the Seahawk injury report.
• 29:35
  Speaker 3: Oh, man.
• 29:35
  Speaker 6: Is 10 minutes long enough?
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: I don't think so.
• 29:37
  Speaker 6: Okay, yeah.
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: That's a question.
• 29:38
  Speaker 3: I don't think so.
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: People are losing their mind right now.
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: Now.
• 29:40
  Speaker 6: Well, what happened to Quentin Nelson? He's got an alley.
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: He's got a bad knee.
• 29:42
  Speaker 3: From when?
• 29:43
  Speaker 6: From the Bears game?
• 29:44
  Speaker 5: Practice?
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: No, he came here with it.
• 29:46
  Speaker 6: Is he damaged goods?
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: He was damaged goods.
• 29:47
  Speaker 6: Did we know?
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: They knew.
• 29:48
  Speaker 6: Can we send him back? You can't.
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: Money back guarantee?
• 29:53
  Speaker 7: No.
• 29:53
  Speaker 6: I mean, I'm assuming he passed a physical.
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: He did.
• 29:55
  Speaker 6: When he showed up here.
• 29:56
  Speaker 5: He did.
• 29:57
  Speaker 7: Do we know the details? Like, did they know there
• 29:59
  Speaker 7: was an issue with the knee and said, ah, we'll
• 30:01
  Speaker 7: do it anyway? It's a short-term thing, whatever.
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: That's what Greg just told us. And then it became
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: a little worse. And so he's got particles of cartilage
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: that they're going to remove, according to Ian Rapoport.
• 30:12
  Speaker 6: Now or when the season's over?
• 30:14
  Speaker 3: Now. Okay.
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: So two weeks off.
• 30:17
  Speaker 8: Right.
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, next two weeks in a bye week. So you'd
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: be the 19 days that you have.
• 30:21
  Speaker 7: Arizona Raiders by Niners.
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: So you just need him back by the Niners.
• 30:26
  Speaker 6: So we're talking, okay, are we sure we don't need
• 30:28
  Speaker 6: him back sooner?
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: Well, that's the thing.
• 30:30
  Speaker 7: Are we just assuming they're going to win Sunday and
• 30:32
  Speaker 7: win next Sunday and we're all going to be good here?
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: With all these guys. Chen is sitting out again. Leonard
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: Williams is sitting out. Rasheed Shaheed is out. I mean,
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: seven guys are out. I mean, hell, I'm going to
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: throw Brandon Peely in the mix because with Leonard Williams out,
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: then who's your defensive? Well, now it's Riley Mills.
• 30:49
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 30:50
  Speaker 6: Who's not bad? Who's not bad?
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: I like Riley. But yeah, they're hurting for sure. So
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: you know what? I don't know. Maybe Jadarian Price carries
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: them on more than eight times.
• 30:58
  Speaker 6: Let me ask you a question.
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 30:59
  Speaker 7: If you could go back to the day that you
• 31:02
  Speaker 7: were walking to the lawyer's office or the day that
• 31:05
  Speaker 7: Rashid Shahid was driving to the VMAC to sign his three-year,
• 31:09
  Speaker 7: $ 51 million deal.
• 31:09
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 31:12
  Speaker 7: And you could take the contract and put it in
• 31:14
  Speaker 7: the shredder and say, sorry, we live in a different
• 31:18
  Speaker 7: world than we did five minutes ago. Like Kevin Costner
• 31:21
  Speaker 7: in draft day, that deal is no longer available. And
• 31:24
  Speaker 7: go spend that money on something else. I'm not saying
• 31:27
  Speaker 7: necessarily Kenny Walker. But just something else.
• 31:29
  Speaker 6: But whatever. Would you do it?
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: I would lean towards that. I would also ask myself,
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: why can this offensive coordinator not find a way to
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: make him work? Now he's out anyway, so I guess
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: it doesn't matter for a while, but I don't know
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: how much it's a Rashid Shahid problem as much.
• 31:45
  Speaker 6: As it's a.
• 31:46
  Speaker 7: Brian Flurry? Well, he wasn't catching balls when he was
• 31:49
  Speaker 7: here under Kubiak.
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: But the whole thing was, hey, let's get him here
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: for a training camp. Let's get him acclimated, blah, blah, blah,
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: all those things.
• 31:55
  Speaker 7: Everybody said that. I said that. We all said that.
• 31:58
  Speaker 7: And then how does it work? I went back and
• 31:59
  Speaker 7: looked at his numbers in New Orleans. Passing-wise, he was
• 32:02
  Speaker 7: actually on pace for some pretty good numbers through the year.
• 32:04
  Speaker 7: The one thing about him, and I've been guilty of
• 32:07
  Speaker 7: this too, and maybe it's just because the guy supposedly
• 32:09
  Speaker 7: is blazing fast.
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 32:11
  Speaker 7: Let's get him the ball in space. Jet sweeps, fly sweeps, whatever.
• 32:14
  Speaker 7: Screen plays, backward passes that look like runs in the
• 32:18
  Speaker 7: box score.
• 32:19
  Speaker 6: He never did that in New Orleans.
• 32:20
  Speaker 9: No.
• 32:20
  Speaker 6: Never. That was not a part of his repertoire. And
• 32:23
  Speaker 6: I don't know why.
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: Greg Cosell, like two or three weeks ago, said kind
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: of the same thing. He hasn't necessarily been used this way,
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: but why wouldn't Seattle use him more like a Debo–
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: Debo Samuel role.
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: I agree.
• 32:37
  Speaker 6: Totally agree.
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: Where you get him in space. Debo would run between
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: the tackles a little bit more.
• 32:42
  Speaker 6: That's not Shahid.
• 32:43
  Speaker 3: No.
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: And it almost ruined him. Right? And then we saw
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: him almost die here when he just passed out.
• 32:48
  Speaker 9: Right.
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: Out of his face.
• 32:49
  Speaker 6: But, yeah, I don't know.
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: There's no gimmies in the NFL. And now you have
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: all these guys. Luckily, they've got a bunch of injuries
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: as well. So that helps.
• 32:56
  Speaker 6: Right.
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: That does help. They're missing their top running back. They
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: don't have a receiver not named Trey McBride. And Wilson's okay.
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: He's banged up, though, too. And you can run against
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: these guys, apparently. So, I don't know.
• 33:06
  Speaker 6: Dave, I don't know.
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: Run the football?
• 33:08
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I guess. Like, run the football a little bit?
• 33:10
  Speaker 6: I mean, part of that equation was having Quentin Nelson.
• 33:13
  Speaker 6: Now he's not available.
• 33:14
  Speaker 7: I'm not concerned about it, but I'm more interested in
• 33:16
  Speaker 7: what's going to happen to Graze Abel because he's flip-flopping
• 33:19
  Speaker 7: every week now.
• 33:19
  Speaker 6: He's back to the left.
• 33:20
  Speaker 7: Right guard last week, left guard this week, right guard
• 33:23
  Speaker 7: in a couple weeks again.
• 33:24
  Speaker 6: I mean, if he's going to be your right guard.
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 33:27
  Speaker 6: He needs time at right guard.
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 33:29
  Speaker 7: And all this is going to do is just delay
• 33:31
  Speaker 7: the process of Grace Abel, who admitted, was it yesterday?
• 33:35
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 33:35
  Speaker 7: That it was a hard transition. It'd be like you
• 33:37
  Speaker 7: and me, you know, being asked to play golf left-handed.
• 33:40
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 33:40
  Speaker 6: Can't do it.
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: Well, we might be better.
• 33:42
  Speaker 6: Well, listen, can't be worse.
• 33:44
  Speaker 7: But you get my point that this guy's asked in
• 33:47
  Speaker 7: the middle of the year, and we'll talk to Millen
• 33:49
  Speaker 7: about this at 5 o'clock today, live at 5, in
• 33:51
  Speaker 7: the middle of the year to do something he hadn't
• 33:55
  Speaker 7: done since he was a freshman in college, which was
• 33:57
  Speaker 7: five years ago. This feels like something that you'd like
• 33:59
  Speaker 7: to do during the offseason. Now, I'm not saying I
• 34:03
  Speaker 7: wouldn't have made the deal. I still would have made
• 34:04
  Speaker 7: the deal for Quentin Nelson. But I do think that
• 34:07
  Speaker 7: just like Brian Flurry, when you're asking a guy to
• 34:09
  Speaker 7: do something for the first time, you've got to accept
• 34:11
  Speaker 7: there might be a bump in the road.
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: And there was a bump.
• 34:13
  Speaker 6: In the road.
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: Here's the other thing. You had three weeks plus a
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: bye week to get Gray Zabel and Quentin Nelson acclimated
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: and comfortable in their new situations before you take on
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: the Niners.
• 34:25
  Speaker 6: Right.
• 34:25
  Speaker 2: Now you don't have that.
• 34:26
  Speaker 3: Right, correct.
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: Now you're back to square one.
• 34:28
  Speaker 7: The good news is you do have the worst scoring
• 34:30
  Speaker 7: defense in the NFL in Arizona.
• 34:32
  Speaker 6: You do.
• 34:32
  Speaker 7: And then next Sunday, you have the No. 31 scoring
• 34:35
  Speaker 7: defense in the NFL.
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: You know the wild thing is about, I don't know,
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: 24 hours ago, even 48 hours ago, I thought, you
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: know the biggest concern we have this week?
• 34:42
  Speaker 9: Mm-hmm.
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: Can Drew Locke throw the football?
• 34:44
  Speaker 6: Right, with his elbow.
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: And now it's like, maybe that's not the only concern anymore.
• 34:48
  Speaker 7: Well, they got the guy Adrian Martinez, the former Nebraska Cornhusker.
• 34:53
  Speaker 7: UFL MVP, sir. Did they bring him in just for
• 34:56
  Speaker 7: intel on San Francisco?
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: No, they brought him in because there's an issue with
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: Drew Locke's elbow. Because now all of a sudden, if
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: Locke's elbow just explodes... or Sunday, and you've got Milrow,
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: you have nobody else. And I think we all saw
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: the 49ers in Philadelphia a few years ago with Christian
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: McCaffrey running the Wildcat.
• 35:16
  Speaker 6: It doesn't work.
• 35:17
  Speaker 7: Well, there's a drop there with the play-by-play voice of
• 35:21
  Speaker 7: the Eagles.
• 35:22
  Speaker 6: Is it Merrill Reese? Is that right? The 49ers have
• 35:25
  Speaker 6: nobody who can throw a football.
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: Remember how bad that was? We still have that on
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: the wall, by the way. That was hilarious.
• 35:30
  Speaker 7: Update for you play that in the just for you
• 35:32
  Speaker 7: all right you know what tune in i'll play it
• 35:34

  Speaker 6: I'm a lot of pals. I'm a lot of friends.
• 36:00
  Speaker 7: A lot of respect, a lot of love for Pat Chun.
• 36:03
  Speaker 7: He'll join us at 420. Has there been any conversations
• 36:06
  Speaker 7: about the Apple Cup Series getting extended?
• 36:08
  Speaker 6: We'll chat about that.
• 36:10
  Speaker 2: What time is that?
• 36:10
  Speaker 6: That's at 420. I know you'll be in the car
• 36:12
  Speaker 6: for that one. You'll pull over.
• 36:14
  Speaker 2: I will not.
• 36:14
  Speaker 6: And then you mill it at 5 o'clock.
• 36:16
  Speaker 7: And if you missed yesterday's convo between Peter King and
• 36:19
  Speaker 7: Mike Holmgren, which was unbelievable, we'll give it to you
• 36:22
  Speaker 7: at 6 o'clock tonight.
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: I know you love compliments.
• 36:25
  Speaker 9: Yes.
• 36:26
  Speaker 6: You know the best thing about that? That I shut
• 36:28
  Speaker 6: the hell up?
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: You weren't speaking.
• 36:31
  Speaker 7: That's fine by me, man. I literally, and Peter had
• 36:35
  Speaker 7: a Guinness in front of him. I had a Tito's soda.
• 36:39
  Speaker 7: Mike had a Diet Coke. I think Dick had a Slurpee.
• 36:41
  Speaker 7: And we just sat back and just listened as two
• 36:44
  Speaker 7: greats just yacked about whatever they wanted to. The story
• 36:47
  Speaker 7: about two guys bringing a lion to Packer practice, that's unbelievable.
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: I got in my driveway yesterday on the way home,
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: and I sat for an extra 10 minutes just listening.
• 36:56
  Speaker 6: It was awesome.
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: So 6 o'clock today. 6 o'clock tonight for those that
• 36:59
  Speaker 2: missed it. I don't know about your 420 segment. I
• 37:01
  Speaker 2: can't help you with that one.
• 37:02
  Speaker 6: Don't be mad, man. Don't be mad.
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: There's a guy with a similar name. I had a
• 37:05
  Speaker 2: beer with the Coug once. I don't know what ever
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: happened to him. He's running the... Big time Big Ten
• 37:11
  Speaker 2: program now, pal. Probably the less I say is more.
• 37:13
  Speaker 6: See ya.
• 37:13
  Speaker 2: Bye. For the mild-mannered and marginally objectionable Ian Furness, this
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: is Paddle Day saying so long, everyone.
