• 2:05
  Speaker 1: you might want to tune in to this one. And
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: the Kraken will be in Finland on Thursday. They're already there.

• 3:18
  Speaker 2: Good morning.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: I bought you socks. They'll be here in the studio
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: for you. They're not used. Yeah, they're brand new. Thank you. Yeah,
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: very cushy. Not quite leg warmers, but really thick socks.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: Love it for the winter. So I hope you enjoy them.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: Do you expect, now that all these other teams have
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: caught on to John Schneider's little trade deadline trick and
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: are vastly improving themselves here before the trading deadline, a
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: lot of the contenders, does John have to step it up?
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: Does he have to make a second trade before the deadline,
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: before it expires at 1 o'clock?
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: I don't think so. He doesn't normally chase. He calls
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: a lot, and he's making calls and seeing what could
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: be prices of people they may... used to backfill perhaps
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: a wide receiver perhaps a running back perhaps a line
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: of scrimmage defensive line but i think the big splash
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: was quentin nelson and that he's done it once every
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: mid-season and he did a little earlier this year about
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: eight nine days before the deadline so i think that's
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: going to be it i don't think he's going to
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: jonathan taylor for instance is The thing about Jonathan Taylor
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: or even Saquon Barkley or either one of those two
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: running backs, their contracts go through 2028. They would cost
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: more to acquire both in draft capital and certainly in
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: salary than they were willing to pay Kenneth Walker to stay.
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: And so he would be veering from his philosophy at
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: running back after just letting the Super Bowl MVP walk.
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: I don't think he would chase that decision with giving
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: up a first or second round pick and paying $ 18
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: million a year. for a couple of years. So I,
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: if he does make a move, it would be lesser
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: magnitude of that lesser magnitude of Clinton Nelson arriving.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: What about wide receiver or even tight end with injuries
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: to Shahid and to Arroyo this year? Um, you're down
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: a man at, uh, those two position groups. Is that
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: something of interest?
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: I mentioned wide receiver, perhaps, um, tight end to me,
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: they need to utilize the ones they have more. And
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: I really thought, having watched this team practice every day
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: for two months in the summer, that they were going
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: to use Barner a lot more in the pass game
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: than they have so far. We saw glimpses of it
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: a little bit, including the red zone touchdown against Arizona.
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: But I think they have enough that they aren't utilizing
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: at that position right now that adding another one wouldn't
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: really help them.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: Greg Bell is with us. Our Seahawks insider joins us
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: most every day here at 7.05 to talk Seahawks football.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: So what is the latest with Quentin Nelson? When is
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: he expected to play again?
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: Well, McDonald said yesterday is when he had the surgery.
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: And why did he wait a week or five days? Well,
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: if it's swollen and agitated, doctors usually like to let
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: the swelling go down before they do any kind of
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: procedure on his knee. That seems to be what was
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: going on here. I asked, is he on the same
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: trajectory as Sam Darnold in that three weeks off and
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: then return after the bye? And he said, well, we
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: didn't put him on injured reserve, so that should tell
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: you what we think about that. So the implication is
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: that there's a possibility he can come back for the
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: November 28th game against San Francisco as well. Now they
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: had the surgery yesterday. McDonald keeps saying it's a minor procedure.
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: I don't know if that's arthroscopic surgery. I don't know
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: if that's the PRP, blood platelet replacement therapy. But there's
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: a chance he could play. November 29th as well.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: So how do you handle the Gray-Zabel thing then? I mean,
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: the yo-yo back and forth potentially from left to right guard.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: I mean, are they going to get him work at
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: right guard while they have the opportunity when he has
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: to prepare for games as a left guard here on Sunday?
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: No, he'll be at left guard Sunday, and then he'll
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: go back to right guard like he did against the
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: Bears and Anthony Bradford will be the odd man out. And, yeah,
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: it's not smooth at all for Zabel, especially not for Bradford.
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: But that's what happens when you add an all-pro in
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: the middle of the season that wasn't in your plans before. So, yeah,
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: Zabel's going to have to get used to doing what
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: he was doing at left guard and get unused to
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: it real quick. It looks like maybe the game after
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: the Raiders game if Nelson comes back.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: What's the status of Charles Cross and Leonard Williams?
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: Well, McDonald said they're both improving, but they're going to
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: have to improve a lot more to play this week.
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: Cross has missed out two games in a row. Leonard Williams,
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: the stinger, nerve neck injury. I would think, why would
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: you bring them back if they're even touch and go
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: at all and have them do the same three weeks off?
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: So I would expect that neither of them play against
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: the Raiders so they can then use the bye week
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: plus two games missed to be ready for the rest
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: of the season. Yeah.
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: Is that playing with fire a little bit? I mean,
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: you got by the Cardinals, but that was a really
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: bad team. The Raiders are a little better than them.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: I mean, I'd hate to lose a game because you're
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: just eyeballing more rest for Williams and Cross.
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: Well, it's not that they're just resting. They need to
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: be rested because they're hurt. And my point is, I
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: don't think you play injured veterans in this game right
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: before a bye. Even if they were playing the 49ers,
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: I don't think you would play them before a bye
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: in this situation. They're just trying to get through these
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: two games, let's be honest. They've got a backup quarterback.
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: They've got a backup left tackle. Their all-pro left guard
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: is not playing. They're down a wide receiver. They're down
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: their Pro Bowl defensive lineman. They're down their outside linebacker
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: scored a touchdown in the Super Bowl. Let's just get
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: to the bye week. Let's ride our defense. Let's not
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: turn the ball over, and let's beat two teams we're
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: better than. and get to six and four and get
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: to the bye and see who can come back for
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: that 49ers game. That's really what they're doing. When Ian
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: asked me, was there transitioning into shows yesterday, what did
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: you think of the Cardinals, the win over the Cardinals,
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: I said they got through it. A very Pete Carroll
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: way to say it. I think that's what we're going
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: to say Monday after this Raiders game, too.
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: Drew Locke has been announced he's going to play against
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: the Raiders. I mean, how hurt is he at this stage?
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: What's he going to be playing through Sunday?
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: His elbows still bother him. It didn't get magically better
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: by playing. So the tendonitis in his elbows still bother him.
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: And now the oblique injury. McDonald said the tendonitis. Sunday
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: night after the game were, quote, good, and that now
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: they will be managing the oblique injury through practicing this
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: week like they managed the elbow last week, which means
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: he won't throw much at all. And throwing hurts his
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: side and his elbow at the same time. And Jalen
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: Milrow will take the ones reps again this week. and
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: there may be part of just one practice Thursday that
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: Locke does anything throwing-wise. I asked McDonald, what's that actually
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: look like? Is Locke in the huddle and pantomiming the
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: plays and just not throwing? He says, yeah, sometimes that's
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: what he does. He actually runs everything but the throw
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: of the play, and then sometimes he stays in the
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: back and lets Milrow run the actual rep. Not optimal,
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: but he's now an eight-year veteran, a former starter. who
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: can do this. This would be a different deal if
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: Milrow was trying to do this, for instance, someone who
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: hasn't started an NFL game before. So they think inside
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: the locker room in the building that they're in a
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: fortunate backup quarterback situation. I'm sure they flipped on that
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: Vikings-Billslet game last night and said, whoa, this could be
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: a lot worse. We're actually pretty fortunate that we have
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: Drew Locke, even a maybe not fully healthy Drew Locke,
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: compared to to some other quarterback situations around the league.
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: Well, he's had chances in the past and hadn't quite
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: come through, but no doubt 2026, he's played well. He's
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: shown toughness. He's shown leadership. He's shown adaptability. He's shown likability.
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: He's shown knowledge for the position. I mean, how much
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: money is Drew Locke making for himself this season?
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like a taxi cab meter. It just keeps
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: adding up the more he plays. He's just gotten mature.
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: He's older. He's a father and a husband now. He's
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: noticeably more mature than even when he arrived here in
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: 2022 in the Russell Wilson trade. He's been around the block.
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: He's been benched. He's been a starter that was the
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: greatest new thing as a second-round pick out of Missouri.
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: He was a hot shot All-State basketball and All-State football
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: player who went to the University of Missouri as a
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: two-sport star. He's been the number one. It cats me out.
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: And then he's been benched and benched led the league
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: in interceptions, and then he's been a backup quarterback for
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: years on a series of one-year contracts. The other thing, Chuck,
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: is he's on a better team right now. They're a
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: defending Super Bowl champion team that, yes, has been injured and, yes,
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: has not played well in some instances, but they're still
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: a better talented Super Bowl champion for roster than the
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: other teams that Locke would come in and play for.
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: So it is working. He understands if I don't turn
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: the ball over, I have a championship defense that can
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: win almost every game. So just don't turn the ball over.
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: If I have to throw it two yards, I'll throw
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: it two yards. If I don't have to throw it
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: at all, I won't throw it at all. He's not
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: putting the ball in harm's way at risk, as McDonnell
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: likes to say. Interestingly, McDonnell was asked yesterday about that.
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: Wait a minute. How do you explain Locke has played
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: three games and not turned the ball over at all
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: and the Seahawks have won all three? And Darnold's played
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: six games and had an NFL leading nine interceptions in
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: those six games, and the Seahawks are two and four.
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: And McDonald said, well, the offense has malfunctioned in those
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: six games. They've been penalties, and the running game hasn't
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: gone anywhere, and that's created third and longs, and that
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: puts the ball at risk, as the coach likes to say.
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: There have been less risk plays for Drew Locke than
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: there have been for Sam Darnold. And let's face it,
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: Darnold's played better competition than Locke has. Locke's played the
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: Cardinals twice. and a Patriots team that I don't think
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: is very good in the opener. So it's easy to
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: just look at the numbers and say, Locke should be
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: the guy because he's not turning the ball over and
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: he's winning. It's not quite that cut and dry to me.
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree with that. Greg Bell is with us,
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: our Seahawks insider. Not that you're monitoring every team or
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: at least covering every team in the National Football League,
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: but I'm sure you're monitoring. You saw Carson Wentz stink
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: last night. So here we've got a trading deadline today.
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: The Vikings might need a quarterback. Kirk Cousins and Daniel
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: Jones seems to be the names, the only names that
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: are worth consideration that are available today. So what chance
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: do you think that the Seahawks will be facing Fernando
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: Mendoza in his NFL debut Sunday and not Kirk Cousins?
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: Well, if you believe the reports that the Raiders haven't
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: gotten any calls through the last week of Kirk Cousins,
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: it makes you wonder. And Cousins, everyone in the league
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: has had a shot at signing Cousins the last few years.
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: So if I had to guess, I bet the Raiders
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: are going to start Cousins and you're not going to
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: trade them at the last minute here. That game last night,
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: I mean, that covered the Raiders. That looked like DeMarcus
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: Russell out there. I mean, that was as bad a
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: quarterback play as I've ever seen in the league, ever.
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: I mean, including strike replacement players in the 90s. I mean,
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: that was, he couldn't even throw screen passes. They were
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: trying to, in the second quarter, O'Connell started calling wide
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: receiver bubble screen passes so he could get a completion
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: from Wentz. And Wentz turned that into a turnover. I mean,
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: it was unbelievable, actually. I thought he was going to
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: retire in the third quarter, right in the middle of
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: the third quarter, actually.
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: I thought they were going to use his foot getting
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: stepped on as an excuse to take him out of
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: the game, but he came back from that, too.
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: Well, Aikman made a good point. Even if he hadn't
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: had his foot stepped on, that throw was going to
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: be intercepted. It was right down the middle of coverage,
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: right in front of him, behind his receiver. Oh, man.
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: It was rough, and it makes Brian Flurry. You know,
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: Brian Flurry, Brian Flurry, excuse me, the defense coordinator for
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: the Vikings, he shouldn't just be the assistant coach here.
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: He should be the coach of the year, including head coaches,
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: to have that team 6-2 with an offense like that.
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: I mean, that defense is really good for Minnesota, but
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: if you're watching that game last night, every NFC team
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: could say, if we can just score 7, 10 points,
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: we can beat the Vikings. I think so.
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: All right, what do you got for the show today?
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: Our friend, Jory Epstein from Yahoo Sports, our senior NFL writer.
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: We join her every Tuesday at 11 o'clock and we'll
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: go around the league. We'll ask her what she's hearing.
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: She's talked a lot about the league personnel and different
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: teams about this trade deadline and what she thinks is
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: going to happen in the last couple hours before it.
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: The deadline's 1 p.m. I'm sure you've mentioned on the show,
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: 1 p.m. today. And I'm going to ask her what
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: she thinks of Drew Locke and the quarterback situation in
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: Seattle and The Rams. I mean, Kukunuku is out now
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: on top of Devontae Adams. There are even rumors the
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: Rams would trade Matthew Stafford, which I could never see happening. But, yeah,
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: the Rams are just a shell of what they were
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: supposed to be.
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: Garrett looked pretty good, though, on Sunday. I'll say that.
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: And yet they're 5-4 with three straight wins. All right.
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: Well, we'll be listening. Thank you, sir. Appreciate you.
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: Thanks. Happy Tuesday.

• 17:49
  Speaker 1: trading deadline day after what they witnessed last night. Sports
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: Radio 93.3 KJR FM. I wasn't kidding. There's literally not
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: any Finnish singers that I've heard of. Like, none. Like, zero.
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: Unless this list is just of people who are popular
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: right now. You ever heard of Mr.
• 18:20
  Speaker 4: Lordy?
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: Nope.
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: Not at all. What about Tarja Tarunen and Floor Jansen?
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: Did that ring a bell for you? Not one bit. Yeah,
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: what about Karzah? Nightwish, The Rasmus. Kaija Koo? You ever
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: heard of Kaija Koo? Do you listen all the time
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: to Kaija Koo tracks while you're heading down the road? Actually,
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: you know what? You kind of... No, I did not.
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: I tried to... No, no, I did not. Not Kaija
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: Goo Goo. Kaija Koo.
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: Different.
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: Different one right there. Yeah, there really aren't any... That's
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: pretty sad, Finland, frankly, that you don't have one famous
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: singer from your entire country in history. Yeah, that Is
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: kind of sad, actually. That's a sad reflection. I'm sure
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: you're a wonderful people.
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, of course.
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: And I'm sure that your fish is tasty.
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: But yeah, you should at least have somebody with talent
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: outside of hockey in your country. That said, take care
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: of our boys over there.
• 19:18
  Speaker 4: Don't blame them for your lack of talent, okay?
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: Seriously.
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: Everett Fitzy will join us at 8.30. More on the
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: Kraken being in Finland this week. But hey, let's go
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: to a neighbor's Scandinavian... Contri, let's go to Norway, talk
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: about the Norsemen, the Minnesota Vikings here, who last night
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: stunk up the joint offensively. Once again, a great defensive performance.
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: Would you find it, how high on the insane scale
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: would you rank this team? The Vikings aren't even going
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: to make the playoffs. Not high.
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: Not high?
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: I actually think that's more likely than not to be
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: the case.
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: Really?
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: Oh, boy.
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: What do you think, kid?
• 20:06
  Speaker 5: I think you're onto something.
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: They could.
• 20:08
  Speaker 5: Best case, they finish like 10-7. That would be my guess.
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: After a 6-0 start. Best case. I think that's the
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: best case scenario.
• 20:16
  Speaker 5: Yeah, this team is not... I wasn't confident in them
• 20:20
  Speaker 5: with Kyler. So it was like, you know... And now
• 20:23
  Speaker 5: they don't have Kyler, and you saw what that looked like.
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: It's not getting better. They don't have a quarterback. They
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: don't have a running back. It's not good over there.
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: They have a great defense, but how long can that
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: great defense... maintain this. And the biggest thing is in
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: that division. I mean, they were 6-0 and all of
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: a sudden they're in third place two weeks later. Chicago 7-2,
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: they're the real deal. bears are the real deal. I
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: can't believe how good a defense the bears suddenly play.
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: And it's not just Jeffrey Simmons. They were building up
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: to this and then added Jeffrey Simmons at the beginning
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: of the year when the bears take on Carolina, they
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: gave up like 50 points and 500 yards. And I'm like, okay,
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: I see what the bears are going to be this year.
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: They're going to try to outscore everyone, even at the
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: expense of their defense. They don't care. Johnson's just wants
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: to have the highest scoring offense ever. And he didn't
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: even care. He's going to Loyola Marymount this thing. Yeah,
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: he's just going to run and gun. Try to win
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: 50-40 every week, but that has not been the case.
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: They have rounded into a complete team, as the Seahawks
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: found out last Monday. The Lions are 6-2. They'll knock
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: the snot out of you. They play really hard defensively.
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: I think maybe they're not as good as 6-2, but
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: I also think they're better than the Vikings. Way better
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: than the Vikings. And Green Bay, the hot, cold Green
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: Bay Packers of the Matt LaFleur era, they will play
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: six games in a row where you think they're the
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: best team in the National Football League, and they're rolling,
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden they show up one
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: day and they're one of the worst teams in the NFL.
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: We've seen it happen two seasons in a row. We've
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: seen it happen three because it's happened this year. Yeah,
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: it's happened this year. They looked terrible earlier in the year,
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: and now all of a sudden they look like the
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: best team, arguably, in the NFC, the way that they're
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: going right now. So that's four teams in that division.
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: We know the NFC East is only going to get one.
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: We know the NFC South is only going to get one.
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: Seven teams make the playoffs, so that means you're going
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: to have five teams from the NFC North and the
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: NFC West. Well, right now, I got three NFC West teams, Rams, Seahawks, 49ers,
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: and I got four NFC North teams that all look
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: like their playoff count. One of those teams is not
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: going to make the playoffs. Who's the most likely? And
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: I think the most likely is the Minnesota Vikings. They're
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: going to pull an Indianapolis Colts from a year ago,
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: start the season with everybody buzzing about them, talking about them,
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: and I'm not sure how many more games they're going
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: to win.
• 22:59
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't think I've seen a team have one
• 23:03
  Speaker 4: side of the ball be... have such a large gap
• 23:07
  Speaker 4: better than the other side of the ball in a
• 23:09
  Speaker 4: long time. And now I know Myles Guerin, when he
• 23:11
  Speaker 4: was with the Browns, it was a similar situation where
• 23:13
  Speaker 4: that defense was really good and the offense was pathetic.
• 23:16
  Speaker 4: But it's like this defense may be the best defense
• 23:20
  Speaker 4: in the NFL with the Vikings and maybe the worst
• 23:23
  Speaker 4: offense in the NFL, to be completely honest.
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: Maybe.
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: Right now, the way it's constructed. They have 146 points
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: this year. I mean, think about how frustrated you've been
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: at times with the Seahawks offense this year.
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: 202. Yeah.
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: 50 more points. 50 more points over the span of
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: nine games. It's almost four and a half points a game. Yeah,
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: and that's significant. Yeah. It's extremely significant. I'm not even
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: counting the Bears.
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: That's a hundred point difference between the Bears and the Vikings.
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: All right, let's play some Factor Fiction. We're set to go.
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: Glad you're with us.
• 23:55
  Speaker 3: It's your shot at our weekly thousand bucks and the
• 23:59
  Speaker 3: $ 10, 000 grand prize.
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: It's Fact or Fiction.
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: Proudly presented by Lucky Eagle Casino and Hotel, where every
• 24:07
  Speaker 3: day feels lucky.
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: Fact or Fiction is on. Sports Radio 93.3, KJR FM.
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: Well, we got a win last night. Way to go, kid.
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: Way to go, all of us. We were all on
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: board with that one. Bills easily over the Minnesota Vikings,
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: so we get the week off to a good start.
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: Let's go to roll. Anders has been warming up here
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: as of late. Went 2-0 last week, so maybe we're
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: going to ride a hot hand. Just get him the ball.
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: I'm going to get you the ball right now like
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: a good point guard. I'm Steve Nash-ing it. Get you
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: the ball. I can see the hot hand.
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah.
• 24:41
  Speaker 4: That's that's one of those. I got to follow up
• 24:42
  Speaker 4: kids performance from yesterday.
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean?
• 24:45
  Speaker 4: So I'm looking as I always do at the NFL
• 24:50
  Speaker 4: and I'm looking at the Detroit Lions.
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: We just talked about them. They at this.
• 24:57
  Speaker 4: Point in time are two and a half point favorites.
• 25:01
  Speaker 4: against the Patriots, and I realize this game has been picked,
• 25:04
  Speaker 4: so I'm moving on. I did not officially make it.
• 25:08
  Speaker 4: Don't worry, guys. I'm not pulling a Greg Bell. I'm
• 25:11
  Speaker 4: not doing that. Not doing that. I'm going to the
• 25:15
  Speaker 4: Kansas City Chiefs. They are three and a half point
• 25:20
  Speaker 4: favorites on the road against the Atlanta Falcons. Uh, this
• 25:25
  Speaker 4: pick kind of bit me a couple weeks ago because
• 25:28
  Speaker 4: I thought the Chiefs were going to follow up the
• 25:30
  Speaker 4: Seahawks loss with a victory. They did not. I think
• 25:34
  Speaker 4: they bounced back. Maybe they add someone at the deadline,
• 25:37
  Speaker 4: whether it's a receiver or something. I think they are
• 25:41
  Speaker 4: more than touchdown better than the Atlanta Falcons are going
• 25:43
  Speaker 4: to go to that dome. and get another win. I
• 25:47
  Speaker 4: think they're going to need to because Denver's right on
• 25:49
  Speaker 4: their tails for that AFC West. So Chiefs minus three
• 25:54
  Speaker 4: and a half going on the road to the Atlanta Falcons.
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: All right. That means the Chiefs have to win by
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: four points or more against Michael Penix Jr., and the
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: birds if you agree with that selection you're going to
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: text fact to 49451 if you disagree with it text
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: fiction to 49451 if you're right we enter your name
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: into a drawing for a thousand dollars in cash that's
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: a weekly cash prize drawing we play up to 20
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: times during the course of the week once per show
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: all week long so you could get up to 20
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: entries into that drawing and Really weigh it in your favor,
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: and maybe you'll be the $ 1, 000 lucky winner. But you've
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: got to earn entry first, and that's by playing our
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: Factor Fiction game. Now, there's a $ 10, 000 jackpot out there
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: as well. That goes to the person with the most
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: correct Factor Fiction picks this football season. It's all brought
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: to you by Lucky Eagle Casino and Hotel. Lucky Eagle Casino,
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: where every day feels lucky. Lucky Eagle Casino. Does the
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: casino have big talents? It should. It does.
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: Don't doubt it for one second. It'll scratch your eyes out.
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: All right, so the pick is Kansas City minus three
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: and a half on the road against the Atlanta Falcons.
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: Mahomes and the Chiefs would have to win by four
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: points or more in order for Anders to be correct.
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: If you agree, fact to 49451. If you disagree, fiction
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: to 49451. Your next chance to play comes at 1135
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: this morning. with Greg Bell and Jessamyn McIntyre. Coming up next,
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: it is a holiday today. That's right, NFL Trade Deadline Day.
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: We'll give you the latest on Sports Radio 93.3 KJRFM.
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: All right, coming up at 8 o'clock, Gene Steratore will
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: join us for his normal 8 o'clock Tuesday segment right
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: here on Chuck in the Mornings. A lot of things
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: to discuss, mainly from our game on Sunday. There was
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: a big portion of the show yesterday where you and
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: I and Anders crapped on the officials.
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: Yep. See what Gene has to say about that. Damn
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: goat herders. Well, did Gene and Hugh discuss that when
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: they were on? The goat herders? Yeah, the goat herder thing. No,
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: he did not actually mention that. Yeah, let's leave that out.
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: Let's leave that out of the conversation. Today is NFL
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: Trading Deadline Day, so happy NFL Trade Deadline Day to
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: all of you that love making the puzzle of sports
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: rosters like I do. We've already seen some significant moves
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: leading up to today. Nothing yet today, though, which I'm
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: surprised by. I mean, I started my commute hearing about
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: the Jesse Bates trade yesterday morning at five o'clock. And
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: so to not have anything today, I was sure I
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: would have something by now. But maybe they're going to
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: cram it in in the last couple of hours. But
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: we are monitoring. I'm still waiting for Chris Kidd to
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: play the breaking news sounder for me, which I often
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: will just dance to because I love it so much.
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: I love when we get breaking news. And on trade
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: deadline day, it's extra special because it's a lot of dancing.
• 29:20
  Speaker 4: It is a lot of dancing. And I'm surprised you didn't.
• 29:24
  Speaker 4: celebrate this holiday and your little holiday festivities when you
• 29:27
  Speaker 4: went back home, to be completely honest.
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the wrong people. Yeah, the wrong group of people
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: to do that with. They're more of a President's Day
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: kind of people. Mom loves to dress as Millard Fillmore.
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: A lot of people do. know that around the Shipman-Woodburn area.
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: That's what she's known for?
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah. Okay.
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, very famous. Even when it's not the holidays, she
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: just goes to town dressed as random presidents. But yes,
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: Fillmore's definitely her favorite.
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: Got it. All right.
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: So here we go. A little exercise in it. Let's
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: talk about the Seahawks.
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: Greg kind of shot down the idea that John's going
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: to add a second player here before the trading deadline.
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: But now that everybody else in the league is sort
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: of doing the John Schneider thing before the deadline, a
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: lot of teams have improved themselves, maybe even more so
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: than what the Seahawks have. Will he have to step
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: up his game? I mean, it's not like you couldn't
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: improve this roster between now and 1 o'clock. So let's
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: run through a few guys, and I just want to
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: ding a bell or something like, oh, I'm interested in that.
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: You and Chris, and let's just go through a few names.
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: Let's start with one that Hugh brought up yesterday. Josh Downs,
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: the quick, tiny wide receiver for the Indianapolis Colts, might
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: be available. I think there could be an upgrade, certainly,
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: at wide receiver. Apparently, the asking price is a second
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: or third round pick. I have somewhat interest.
• 30:55
  Speaker 4: For me, it depends on how long Rashid Shahid is
• 30:58
  Speaker 4: out because I feel like he fills a similar hole
• 31:00
  Speaker 4: as Rashid Shahid does. If he's going to be out
• 31:02
  Speaker 4: for more than the next couple weeks, more than after
• 31:06
  Speaker 4: the bye, I should say, then I would feel a
• 31:09
  Speaker 4: little bit better about going to get something like this.
• 31:12
  Speaker 4: But in terms of just if you're going to have
• 31:14
  Speaker 4: both of those guys, it feels a little redundant to me.
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: I think Hugh, if he were here, I'll speak on
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: behalf of Hugh, he would say, OK, don't They might
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: be redundant in terms of their size and their quickness
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: slash speed, but Josh Downs just brings a completely different
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: wide receiver skill set than what Rashid Shaheed has shown
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: in a Seahawks uniform. Not the returner, though. Right. Not
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: the returner, and I frankly don't think that John Schneider...
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: is going to give up on something he's invested so
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: heavily in. So I'm thinking he won't do it, but
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: if I found out before 1 o'clock Josh Downs was
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: a Seahawk, I think I'd be really excited about that.
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: And there's twofold, because he's not a Ram. The Rams,
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: without Nakua and without Devontae Adams, I think they'd be
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: fools not to be pursuing Josh Downs before the trading
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: deadline here today. Jerry Judy, apparently the asking price kid
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: is a second-round pick for Jerry Judy. Would you be
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: interested in that?
• 32:16
  Speaker 5: I'm going to say no because he hasn't proven they
• 32:18
  Speaker 5: can catch the football consistently. I'm over it.
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: I've never been impressed with him. But for some reason,
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: his value always remains high. Because he gets hot at
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: the trade deadline. There you go.
• 32:30
  Speaker 5: He gets hot for three weeks, and teams are like, man,
• 32:32
  Speaker 5: he looks great. minus the other three years throughout the
• 32:36
  Speaker 5: whole season when he hasn't been playing up to his level,
• 32:38
  Speaker 5: in which Steve Smith called him out for it.
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: So there you have it. It's been a long time
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: since he was a can't-miss wide receiver at Alabama. Right.
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: There you go. So I'll pass. He kind of missed.
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: I mean, he's a viable NFL wide receiver, but he
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: is certainly, he's never going to be a star. I'm
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: not interested in that price either. What about Anders Quinton Johnston,
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: the large, speedy, horrible hands, Quinton Johnston of the Chargers?
• 33:06
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm not thrilled, but there could be some untapped
• 33:11
  Speaker 4: stuff there.
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: It just doesn't. I wouldn't be jumping for joy if
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: they ended up making this trade. Black Colby Parkinson?
• 33:20
  Speaker 5: You remember him?
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Colby Parkinson. He was 6'7.
• 33:23
  Speaker 5: Every now and then they threw him a high ball.
• 33:25
  Speaker 5: He might have caught it. I'm not saying go get him.
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: Fifth round pick probably is your vicinity for that. Chris
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: Godwin is also another name out there that you could
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: probably get for a seventh round pick, but he just
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: does not look like he's got anything left.
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: He's old.
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: And Brian Thomas apparently has been pulled off of the
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: trade market. The wide receiver... for the Jacksonville Jaguars. Tight
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: end Dallas Goddard, we've talked about numerous times. Maybe we're
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: the only show in town talking about it. I'm interested,
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: especially if you buy the fourth or fifth round value
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: for Dallas Goddard. I'd add him to this roster. Yeah,
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: that's the one that excites me the most.
• 34:00
  Speaker 4: You know me, I've been on the tight end train
• 34:01
  Speaker 4: even before they made the Quentin Nelson trade when everyone
• 34:03
  Speaker 4: was talking running back. I was like, we need a
• 34:05
  Speaker 4: tight end. What's his strength, would you say? What would
• 34:07
  Speaker 4: you say is like.
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: I mean, he's pretty good all around. Good all around.
• 34:10
  Speaker 4: Yeah, he's just a really good... player and does what
• 34:13
  Speaker 4: he needs to do to win. Jalen Hurts would always
• 34:16
  Speaker 4: look for him in the red zone. He was that guy.
• 34:20
  Speaker 4: His touchdown percentage was super, super high. He always comes
• 34:24
  Speaker 4: up with big catches and big moments. I think what
• 34:26
  Speaker 4: you said earlier about kind of how getting a possession guy,
• 34:29
  Speaker 4: if you're not going to rely on pushing the ball
• 34:31
  Speaker 4: downfield as much, just get guys who can get first downs.
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: What about Khalil Mack? Fourth or fifth round pick brings
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: a heavy salary, but you're only paying half of it. Yeah,
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: I think any team's looking for an edge rusher. I
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: guarantee you John is interested. And an edge rusher somewhere,
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: but is Khalil Mack the guy, Chris?
• 34:50
  Speaker 5: I would say no. I would go with the younger talent, Tui, oh,
• 34:53
  Speaker 5: I forget his name.
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: Tui Tulapotu? Tui Pelotu. Pelotu? I actually didn't nail it. Well,
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: thanks a.
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: Lot, Chuck. He did.
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: Anders did. I didn't come anywhere close to nailing it.
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: You knew who I was referring to.
• 35:05
  Speaker 5: I would go for him because that's basically bringing in
• 35:08
  Speaker 5: Demarcus Lawrence, who just said, you know, I'm done after
• 35:10
  Speaker 5: this year. So I would imagine Khalil Mack is on
• 35:12
  Speaker 5: that same, like, oh, this is it for me. Versus
• 35:14
  Speaker 5: you could be able to put someone young like that
• 35:16
  Speaker 5: and have him for three, four years.
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: The Marcus Lawrence thing worked pretty well. Why haven't we
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: talked about Tony Pollard in a while? Still interested in him?
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: Third round pick?
• 35:24
  Speaker 4: I just think there's other more important stuff. You've already
• 35:27
  Speaker 4: upgraded your running game, I think, and it wouldn't really
• 35:30
  Speaker 4: push the ceiling any more than what you already have.
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: Want Rick Willen back? Absolutely. Oh! I would take him back.
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: Why not?
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: You know who I really like is like Buda Baker.
• 35:42
  Speaker 5: Oh, that would be welcome home, kid.
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: I don't even know if we even have room for him. No,
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: we don't. But, man, would Mike love using Buda Bay.
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: Oh, gosh.
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: I would, too.
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: Man.
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: I would, too.
• 35:53
  Speaker 5: What does that Fane sound? I think that is what
• 35:58
  Speaker 5: Mike Madonna will be doing every time. Nicky Minwari and
• 36:00
  Speaker 5: Buda Bay?
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: Oh, God.
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: That's unfair. Gene Steratore is next on KJR.
