  Speaker 1: He's going to go into the open field.
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: As we count you down to tonight's game at 515.
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: He'll coast in for the touchdown. Brought to you by

  Speaker 2: Frostbrew Coors Light. Cold as the Rockies. On Sports Radio.
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: 93.3, KJR FM.
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: Hey, great morning.
• 0:31
  Speaker 3: Welcome in to the radio program that is Chuck in
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: the Morning. Sports Radio 93.3 KJR FM. Great to have
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: you with us. Hope you had a fantastic weekend. And
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: we're going to get things started in your brand new
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: week by doing a little Monday morning quarterback here today.
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: We react to the Seahawks 30-23 win over the Los
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: Angeles Chargers. We'll bring only the best on our radio
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: airwaves to break it down for you. Hugh Millen will
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: be with us starting at 8 o'clock today. Greg Bell,
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: our Seahawks insider, will join us at 7.05. And, of course,
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: we've got our crew to fill in all the other
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: blanks here. And that crew is diminished here today already.
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: Anders Hurst is here. My name is Chuck Powell. But
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: I guess four days is too hard in a row
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: to work at your new job. I guess four days
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: is the maximum amount of time that you can spend
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: on a new job without needing a day off, needing
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: an extra day of rest.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: So anyway, strange.
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: I mean... Maybe this is the new world, Anders. I
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: know younger people, I mean, you would think that they
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: would need less rest. But Christopher Kidd already raising his
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: hand and saying.
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: You know, I could really use a day off.
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I definitely think he's resting today. That is definitely
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: the verb that I would use today. That he's doing
• 2:01
  Speaker 4: today because, yeah, he needed it from us.
• 2:04
  Speaker 5: Let's be honest.
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: One week, whoo. Yeah.
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: Apparently he's running in a 5K for charity today, which
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: sounds like lazy talk to me.
• 2:13
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it does.
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 2:14
  Speaker 5: It's too perfect of an excuse.
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: Oh, boy.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah. You're going to have to get up a lot
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: earlier in the morning, Christopher Kidd, to fool me.
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: I don't care if you did bring in a note
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: from your father.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: Know exactly what's going on.
• 2:33
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: 5K. Yeah, jeez.
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: You know, it's lazy people who run 5Ks. In Portland,
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: of all places. Oh, is that where he's going?
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, I bet.
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: I bet.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: Sure. We'll call it Portland for now.
• 2:47
  Speaker 5: Portland.
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: So no Christopher Kidd today. A whole four days of
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: work and he needed a day off.
• 2:56
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: And so, Anders and I, we will handle things for
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: you here on this Monday morning.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: And the main primary.
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: Focus for us here today will be The Seahawks winning
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: over the Los Angeles Chargers, moving to 3-1 on the season.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: For a while, it looked like it was going to
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: be very easy.
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: Next thing you know, the Chargers have the ball with
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: the chance to tie the game late. I mean, they
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: were going to have to put together a touchdown drive
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: against a very good defense in order to pull off
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: that comeback, but nonetheless, they got back in the game
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: and did make things very interesting for a Seattle team
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: that played quite sloppy last at times during the course
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: of their four quarters. Didn't throw the ball a lot
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: or all that effectively in the game. Obviously let Justin
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: Herbert get out of his slump. He looked much better
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: in the second half and started to put some drives together.
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: Couldn't really stop the run, which is a Mike McDonald
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: key for sure of one of his defenses. But let's
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: face it, I mean, the story of this game were
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: the 30 penalties that were thrown by the officials in
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: this game for nearly 300 yards. 280 yards worth of penalties.
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: And we're going to have Gene Steratore on tomorrow.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: Trust me, Gene's already bracing. For this week.
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: There's always one of these weeks in the National Football League,
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: especially we know that now because we have Gene Steratore
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: on every week. There's always one of these weeks where
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: the officials are just taking it from every single direction.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: And that's this week. They are getting hammered.
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: And they're going to get hammered until we start playing
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: more football on Thursday.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: It's just going to be one of those weeks.
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: And certainly there was some chippiness, and certainly there was
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: some stupidity on both sides of this football.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: But this was a crew.
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: that clearly decided we're going to call this thing very
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: close to the vest early on. And once they went
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: down that road, they had to stay on that road
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: because then it wouldn't have been fair, right? That if
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: you change the way you're calling a game, that suddenly
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: if the third and fourth quarter aren't as important to
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: call it close anymore, but they started early, Anders.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: They did not stop.
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: They were throwing flags on all extracurricular activity. There were
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: 15-yard penalties against the Seahawks alone. And I think the
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: Chargers had just as many in the contest. And some
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: of them were legitimate. Some of them you couldn't ignore.
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: But there were a few of them that you could
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: have ignored. But because you chose to not allow any
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: aggression in a football game, the next thing you know,
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: we have played a three-hour, 40-minute football game and have thrown...
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: 30 flags. 30 were enforced. There were other flags thrown
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: that weren't even enforced. 30 enforced flags for nearly 300 yards.
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: I don't think the NFL wants that look at any time.
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: And shame on the officials because it was ridiculous yesterday.
• 6:19
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and the craziest thing is this wasn't the only
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: game where this was the case. There were multiple of
• 6:23
  Speaker 4: these games. Maybe not to the level of yesterday's for Seattle, but...
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: I mean, there wasn't anything egregious in terms of like
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: one call that like, oh my God, how do you
• 6:33
  Speaker 4: miss that? Or how do you call that sort of thing?
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: But like you said, it's just the feeling of this
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: isn't a good product. This is not why I'm watching
• 6:39
  Speaker 4: the game to watch the official every second or third play.
• 6:42
  Speaker 5: You know what I mean?
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: And yeah, I mean, you see both teams doing stuff
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: that you... want to stay consistent with i get it
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: but at the same time you have to be able
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: to adjust in a game and see that okay a
• 6:57
  Speaker 4: lot of these aren't affecting the play whatsoever it's not
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: like this is getting out of hand there's brawls after
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: every snap or anything.
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: Like that it wasn't even that type of game i
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: can see if it's one of those old legion of
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: boom like where you're Michael Bennett is throwing haymakers or whoever.
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: One of those games that ends up where there are
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: a bunch of fights during the course of it. It
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: wasn't even one of those games. There was play after
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: the whistle. And a lot of it, Anders, was legitimate.
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: A lot of them were fouls. And shame on the Seahawks.
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: I am not excusing the Seahawks, and certainly Mike McDonald
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: was not in his postgame comments either. But the combination
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: of the two, two teams that were playing sloppy through
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: the whistle and officials who just showed up at the
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: ballpark saying, man, we really want to be involved.
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: In this game. We really want people to know we
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: were here.
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: And it just led to just, I mean, it was
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: nauseating how many times the game stopped.
• 7:59
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I just, again, it's almost, I know they don't
• 8:03
  Speaker 4: think that that's why they watch the game. Everyone watches
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: the game is to see them. But there has to
• 8:09
  Speaker 4: be some sort of self-awareness.
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 8:11
  Speaker 4: We're going to have a lot of questions for Gene.
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: Let's put it that way.
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: Well, and again, I mean, we always say that guy
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: just wants to be on television. And I do think
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: there are a couple of guys in the league that do.
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: And the main referee, the Gene Steratore of every crew,
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: the guy that makes the calls, he's the only one
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: that really gets on television.
• 8:33
  Speaker 5: And he doesn't make every call, by the way.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: Oh, of course not. Right, right.
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: But the calls he makes, the calls he makes, as
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: far as I understand it, if I'm inaccurate with this,
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: I'll take this back. But he's in charge for holding penalties,
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: roughing the passer penalties, which happened the entire game, And
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: he's also in charge of kick return, which there was
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: a holding call, I think, on every single kick return.
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: Yes, there was. He threw a flag on every kick return.
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: So it's hard not to think that this guy, this
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: Novak guy, this little creep, that he didn't want to
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: be on camera. It's hard not to have that opinion.
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: And it's probably unfair and it's probably not true. And
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: if Gene's listening right now, he can't wait to scold
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: me tomorrow.
• 9:19
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: But it's hard not to think that he's one of the...
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: And I don't think there are a lot of them,
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: but there are a couple of them. Clay Martin's another one.
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: He was on the Sunday night game last night.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: And all over it, by the way. But this Novak
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: guy seems to be one of those dudes.
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: And then, again, the other thing I think is when
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: you start calling it that way, then you have to.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: Commit to calling it that way.
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: And... So it was just from beginning to end. It
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: was just nothing but flags all day long. And nobody
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: wants to watch 280 yards worth of penalties. You just
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: got to let them play at some point. But I mean, look,
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: I say that I went through the 15 yard penalties
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: that went against the Seahawks. Eamon Worry headbutts a guy
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: after the play.
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: That's stupid.
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: And that's the one that Mike got furious on the sidelines.
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: And was covering his face with his card so that
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: nobody heard all the F-bombs.
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: That he was dropping.
• 10:23
  Speaker 5: You could see his eyes.
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah. And then he had a face mask. Eamon Worry
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: again had a face mask. And Eamon Worry played well.
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: It was nice to see him out there.
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: He was all over the place doing things that only
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: he can do. But he also committed two 15-yard penalties
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: that extended drives. And then you had on the one
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: drive where you had him stop, they were 2nd and 17th.
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: And Lawrence, that was a flag. He roughed Herbert. He
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: came in low. And he hit him in the side
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: of the knee. That's going to get called by every
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: official in any game. And then Derek Hall was late
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: as well. And if you don't think so, ask Jaron Reed,
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: who almost took his head off. Because that was third
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: down and 24.
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: So.
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: I mean, I don't like games being officiated that closely,
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: especially ones, to your point, that weren't like brawls every
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: five plays.
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: Right. Because we didn't even have one single brawl in
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: the game yesterday.
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: I don't like officiating football games that closely. That said,
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: you want to break them all down? With the exception
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: of the Brady-Russell.
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: One, which was stupid.
• 11:28
  Speaker 5: That was stupid.
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: And tone-setting. There was no way on earth that that
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: was a... 15-yard penalty. But that was the tone setter
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: for the entire game. And then once they went there,
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: then they sort of felt committed to, we're going to
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: call this closely.
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: We're not going to allow anything after the whistle.
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: And the next thing you know, you've called 280 yards
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: worth of penalties.
• 11:48
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: I mean, the Chargers got it, too. This isn't like
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: a pro-Seahawks.
• 11:52
  Speaker 5: Absolutely not.
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: I can't believe the refs were rough on us.
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: I mean, they had some questionable calls against them, too.
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: Some huge penalties against them, too. I didn't think Tui....
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: Paluto um i i mean yeah he technically used some
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: leverage but it did not look like it rose to
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: the level of calling a penalty on it no no
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: and that was a huge play in the game that
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: was a missed field goal and and they had started
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: to create some momentum for themselves which they continued by
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: the way and got back into this football game but
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: it's obviously going to be a it was a huge
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: topic of conversation it was a huge topic conversation around
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: the national football league so i don't know if All
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: the NFL officials were called into the office to say,
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: we're not calling things close enough.
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: But it was one of those days for NFL officials,
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: including one NFL official that got caught on camera dropping
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: a couple F-bombs at Trey McBride of the Arizona Cardinals.
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: So that's also become a story as well. Even though
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: I do kind of laugh at that one. I'm like,
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: you're telling me that players never cuss at officials?
• 12:58
  Speaker 5: They always do. They always do.
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, exactly.
• 13:03
  Speaker 4: And then the one with Mike Vrabel yesterday where supposedly
• 13:05
  Speaker 4: he said that was a bleeping terrible call.
• 13:08
  Speaker 5: You tell me coaches don't say.
• 13:10
  Speaker 4: That every single play or every single flag to these referees.
• 13:14
  Speaker 4: And then for whatever reason yesterday was the day they
• 13:17
  Speaker 4: decided to just call everything with that.
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: I don't know why. You're right.
• 13:21
  Speaker 5: There must have been some meeting or something.
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: There might have been. There might have been. I don't know.
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: But certainly it marred the game.
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: And another thing that marred the game, and look, Mike
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: McDonald was– not happy in his postgame comments, and he
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: just kept coming back to the 15 yards penalties. So
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: it obviously is a big story here. And part of
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: it is officials, did they call it too tight? And
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: part of it is the Seahawks played stupid. A smart
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: team played stupid yesterday. And by evidence of it in
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: a seven and a half minute postgame press conference where
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: Coach McDonald clearly was not happy, about four minutes of
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: it was spent on those penalty flags. And he certainly
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: didn't call out the officials. He a couple of times
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: kind of rolled his eyes and made reference to they
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: called it too close.
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: But mostly it was.
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: Him calling out his own players for extending plays.
• 14:15
  Speaker 5: We need to be better.
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: We have to be better, and we're going to clean
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: that up.
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: And so he was coming down hard on his own
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: guys more so than the officials. And you couldn't get,
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: if you brought up the defense, Hey, your defense, you know,
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: let them back into the football game. Well, penalties, if
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: you're going to, if you're going to extend two plays
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: when we haven't stopped. And I think he said there
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: were seven 15 yard penalties.
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: I've gone through my notes.
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: I think there were only five, but there were some
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: on the charger side as well. So there's that. But
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: maybe there were seven. I'm going to, I'm going to
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: pour back over my notes again. But clearly it was
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: certainly on his mind, and it did kind of affect
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: the entire game. Once you built that big of a
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: lead and the Chargers' offense just looked clueless, you're not
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: expecting LA to get back into that contest. But they
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: did work their way back in. They did make it
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: interesting in the fourth quarter somehow. And had you not
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: committed all those stupid 15-yard penalties after the whistle, then
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: they never would have come close to sniffing a victory.
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: So that's a lot to work on. It's a lot
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: to work on this offseason. I'll say one other thing
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: in my opening comments here today, and that is, what
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: did I tell you about Justin Herbert?
• 15:33
  Speaker 5: He's tough.
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: I mean, he's tough, but what did I tell you.
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: That is unique to this show? Nobody else did a
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: rant like I did leading up to this. I think
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: it was actually two weeks ago. It wasn't even leading
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: up into this game. That dude loves pain. He is
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: a sadistic individual. He did not play well until he
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: got injured. I'm not talking about hurt. He doesn't play
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: well until he's playing with an injury. As soon as
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: he got hit in the side of the knee, he
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: started playing better. Then we got it cracked in the ribs.
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: He started playing great.
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: It's unbelievable.
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: There is a screw loose in that dude's head. He
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: can't play until he's injured. Once he's injured and he's like.
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: Now, now let's go.
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: I've heard about guys that don't feel like the game
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: has started until they take their first good pop.
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: Sure.
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: Herbert doesn't feel like the game has started until he's
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: got a rib sticking out of his skin.
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Until he's got a compound fracture of his left wrist.
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: Then all of a sudden he starts playing well. There
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: is something twisted about that young man. And he is
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: incredibly talented, but he was lost. He was lost in
• 16:49
  Speaker 3: the woods. And it looked like, oh my gosh, Jim
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: Harbaugh might have to pull a Jim Mora Jr. and
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: fire Mike McDaniel before the game is over. That's how
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: bad the Chargers offense looked. Then all of a sudden
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: he gets hit in the knee. And he's a new quarterback.
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: Then he takes one to the ribs and he's the
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: best quarterback in the league. Hey, there is something really
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: off about that fella. You know, faux show.
• 17:15
  Speaker 5: It's almost like.
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: Faux show.
• 17:17
  Speaker 5: Faux show indeed. Faux show.
• 17:19
  Speaker 4: It's almost like he doesn't really like trigger... His greatness
• 17:24
  Speaker 4: until a pain receptor is felt somewhere in his brain.
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying.
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 17:28
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: It's like I said, he's like Steve Martin's dentist character
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: in Little Shop of Horrors. It's like he wants to
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: get hurt. He wants pain. He likes pain.
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: And then, man, once I'm in pain, now watch me
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: play football.
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: I guess. All right.
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: Seahawks win it 30 to 23. We're going to spend
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: a lot of time on that today, of course. But
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: let's find out what else is on tap for the show.
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: May I have your.
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: Attention, please? This is What's On Tap, brought to you

• 18:08
  Speaker 3: Monday Morning Quarterback, 8 to 9, 40 today with the one,
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: the only, Hugh Millen. Our QB1 will be with us
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: to break it all down for you. He won't have
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: anything to say negative.
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: About officials, though. No. He never does.
• 18:22
  Speaker 3: He really thinks they're awesome at what they do and
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: would not ever utter the phrase goat herder at all when.
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: Talking about officials. So, yeah.
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: We'll leave it at that. Greg Bell will also join
• 18:38
  Speaker 3: us at 7.05. We'll find out just what's going on
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: with that report that came out yesterday. The Seahawks are
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: interested in veteran free agent Joe Mixon. He's not on
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: a football team. Right now, there's obviously a running back
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: need with Jadarian Price going on the IR. Manuel Wilson
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: played pretty well yesterday. And Rashid Shahid used as a weapon,
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: as a tailback. That wasn't an end around. That was
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: him lining up as a tailback and taking a couple
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: of pitches. And so creative Brian Flory in trying to
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: create a running game weapon beyond Emmanuel Wilson in the contest.
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: I loved it.
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: But maybe we do need some reinforcements, and Joe Mixon's
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: name has come up.
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: So we'll talk to Greg about that and many other
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: things at 7.05.
• 19:23
  Speaker 3: Seahawks now get ready for their biggest test of the year,
• 19:27
  Speaker 3: the undefeated San Francisco 49ers are next on the schedule,
• 19:30
  Speaker 3: and it won't take long for us to start talking about.
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: That big game.
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: I know, I know this, the way they're playing right now,
• 19:37
  Speaker 3: the 49ers, Seahawks got to play better than what they
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: have through the first four games of the season.
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: Because I don't know if they've put together four quarters.
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: Well, they haven't.
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: They haven't put together four quarters in a game yet
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: this year, and they're going to have to play four quarters.
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: I mean, I, I like to knock around the 49ers,
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: but the way they're playing right now, if you don't
• 19:57
  Speaker 3: play well for four quarters, you're not going to beat them.
• 19:59
  Speaker 4: They're arguably the best team in the NFL at this
• 20:01
  Speaker 4: point in time.
• 20:02
  Speaker 5: I know. It's gross. It's gross.
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: Monday Night Football, we're not done with week number four.
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: Michael Pennix Jr. and the revived Atlanta Falcons will be
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: in New Orleans to take on the Saints. And, of course,
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: we will recap week number four, including wins for the 49ers.
• 20:17
  Speaker 3: And the Rams somehow pulled that thing off in Philadelphia.
• 20:19
  Speaker 5: Thanks, Eagles. What are we doing, man? Yeah.
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: Our scoreboard segment comes up at 6.30 back in its
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: spot that it's designed to be in. Yes, wins and
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: tough ones come your way here in about 10 minutes.
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: College football, UW, I thought outplayed USC and then made
• 20:36
  Speaker 3: a bunch of mistakes down the stretch. We'll get into
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: that a little bit. 25-21, a loss for the Huskies
• 20:44
  Speaker 3: as Damond Williams couldn't. He made a lot of good
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: plays and a lot of bad.
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: Plays in the game. So we'll talk about that.
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: Florida lost Saturday in college football after their big win
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: over Ole Miss. I tell you what, that letdown game
• 20:59
  Speaker 3: after a big win is a real thing in college football.
• 21:02
  Speaker 5: Three games in a row, right?
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that is a huge.
• 21:04
  Speaker 3: Thing in college football, and don't think I'm not going
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: to try to use that in fact or fiction going forward.
• 21:10
  Speaker 3: Jeremiah Smith also popped his first Heisman pose of the year.
• 21:14
  Speaker 3: It only took five weeks of the college football season.
• 21:17
  Speaker 3: For him to announce to the world there is no
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: one else for this award, and I'm not sure that
• 21:22
  Speaker 3: there is. There's a lot of football remaining, but he
• 21:24
  Speaker 3: definitely looks like the best player in America. The Kraken,
• 21:28
  Speaker 3: I don't know a lot about the Kraken. Three games
• 21:30
  Speaker 3: is a small sample size, but I know this. They
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: are better than the Flames right now.
• 21:37
  Speaker 5: I can come to that conclusion.
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: They are playing better hockey than the Calgary Flames. Calgary Flames.
• 21:44
  Speaker 3: And whether they play in Calgary or here. They're better
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: than the Calgary Flames.
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: Yes. 6-1.
• 21:50
  Speaker 3: They've beaten them 6-1 twice in a week. So that
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: was their home opener last night, and they're off to
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: a 2-1 start on the season. They lost to Edmonton
• 22:01
  Speaker 3: on Saturday. Major League Baseball playoffs. Look, you can have
• 22:04
  Speaker 3: your hockey.
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: I recognize NFL as king.
• 22:08
  Speaker 3: You know I'm a baseball fan first if you've listened
• 22:11
  Speaker 3: to this show at all. So I'm trying to say
• 22:14
  Speaker 3: this without bias. But I am telling you right now,
• 22:17
  Speaker 3: no matter how much football you watched over the weekend,
• 22:19
  Speaker 3: because you couldn't dare watch the sport of baseball since
• 22:22
  Speaker 3: we don't have a local representative, if you didn't watch
• 22:25
  Speaker 3: the Brewers and the Padres, you missed the two best
• 22:29
  Speaker 3: games of the weekend, and it's not even close. The
• 22:32
  Speaker 3: two best sporting events of the weekend were the show
• 22:35
  Speaker 3: the Brewers and the Padres put on in Milwaukee, and
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: it's not even close. Yankees and Rays was fantastic, too.
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: on Saturday night. So the Brewers are up 2-0 on
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: the Padres. The Braves evened things up with the Dodgers
• 22:51
  Speaker 3: last night at a game apiece. And today, the American
• 22:55
  Speaker 3: League Divisional Series will start at 2 o'clock with Cleveland
• 22:58
  Speaker 3: and Chicago, and then at 5 o'clock going head-to-head and
• 23:02
  Speaker 3: losing head-to-head against Monday Night Football will be the Rays
• 23:06
  Speaker 3: and the Yankees game number two. All right, our NFL
• 23:09
  Speaker 3: scoreboard comes your way next. Of course, we don't call
• 23:12
  Speaker 3: it the NFL scoreboard. We call it Wins and tough
• 23:15
  Speaker 3: ones on Sports Radio 93.3 KJR FM.
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: Now back to Countdown to Monday Night Football with Chuck
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: in the Morning. Brought to you by Frost Brewed Coors Light.
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: Cold as the Rockies.
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: On Sports Radio 93.3 KJR FM.
• 23:45
  Speaker 3: Of course, I love Mariner's Morning After and wish we
• 23:48
  Speaker 3: were still doing it. But this segment belongs in this
• 23:54
  Speaker 3: right here.
• 23:55
  Speaker 5: It really does. It does.
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 23:57
  Speaker 3: It's time for your scores around the National Football League.
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: Of course, I don't like calling it your NFL scoreboard.
• 24:05
  Speaker 3: So we allow a listener just at random to text
• 24:10
  Speaker 3: something in and whatever makes sense first, the very first text,
• 24:15
  Speaker 3: As long as it's fit for the air, we adopt
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: that name for the entire season. We named this segment
• 24:23
  Speaker 3: during some really troubling Dan Wilson times.
• 24:25
  Speaker 5: We really did.
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 24:27
  Speaker 3: And so for the rest of the year, sorry to
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: do this to you, Dan. It's time for wins and
• 24:32
  Speaker 3: tough ones. All right, we'll start with yesterday morning. The
• 24:36
  Speaker 3: Indianapolis Colts and the Washington Commanders played a very ugly
• 24:39
  Speaker 3: game in London. I did get up in time to
• 24:42
  Speaker 3: watch a lot of it and wish I would have
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: watched none of it. The Commanders were already going with
• 24:47
  Speaker 3: Marcus Mariota, their backup quarterback, and then he got hurt.
• 24:51
  Speaker 3: And then somehow they stayed in this game. They stayed
• 24:54
  Speaker 3: competitive in this game, but eventually the Colts pulled away.
• 24:57
  Speaker 3: for a 30-13 win. The Colts now 2-2 on the season.
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: The New England Patriots proved.
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: To everyone over the weekend, we're not dead yet.
• 25:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that was a big win against the Buffalo Bills
• 25:11
  Speaker 3: in Buffalo, 29-26. That's one of the problems with Buffalo
• 25:14
  Speaker 3: the last year. New England's got their number for whatever reason.
• 25:18
  Speaker 3: Drake May threw three touchdown passes and also rushed for
• 25:21
  Speaker 3: 54 yards, so he and his team, a reminder that hey,
• 25:25
  Speaker 3: we were pretty good a year ago Maybe we're not
• 25:28
  Speaker 3: as bad as what we've played for the first three
• 25:30
  Speaker 3: weeks of the season. They're 2-2, handed the Bills their
• 25:33
  Speaker 3: first loss of the year. Chicago Bears, 23-12 winners over
• 25:37
  Speaker 3: the New York Jets. The Bears have started three different
• 25:39
  Speaker 3: quarterbacks in three weeks, but they're 3-1 on the season.
• 25:44
  Speaker 3: Their only loss was against the Minnesota Vikings, and three
• 25:50
  Speaker 3: straight good weeks of defense for the Chicago Bears, which
• 25:53
  Speaker 3: is not exactly what they're known for.
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: They get Caleb Williams back. I don't know. Maybe they've
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: got something cooking there.
• 25:59
  Speaker 5: I think they do. There's a lot going on with
• 26:01
  Speaker 5: the NFC.
• 26:01
  Speaker 4: A couple teams strolling through a couple things right now.
• 26:04
  Speaker 5: So the Bears are right there with everyone else.
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: Joe Burrow threw two costly interceptions in the game, including
• 26:11
  Speaker 3: once on the doorstep of at least three points.
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: And it looked like they were going to get more.
• 26:16
  Speaker 3: Jacksonville wins over Cincinnati 22-17 in a surprisingly low-scoring game.
• 26:22
  Speaker 3: I thought this was going to be a very high-scoring game.
• 26:23
  Speaker 3: It was not the case. Jaguars are now 3-1 on
• 26:25
  Speaker 3: the year. Cincinnati falls to 2-2, wake up this morning
• 26:30
  Speaker 3: in last place in their division. The Arizona Cardinals could
• 26:34
  Speaker 3: not defeat the New York Giants, even though they had
• 26:37
  Speaker 3: a chance late with a touchdown, fourth and goal, fourth
• 26:41
  Speaker 3: and goal, I believe.
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: They would have won the game.
• 26:44
  Speaker 3: Instead, a pick six the other way, and the Giants
• 26:48
  Speaker 3: end up winning by 12. The Giants, believe it or not,
• 26:51
  Speaker 3: are 3-1.
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: On the season.
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: Then again, they have back-to-back wins over Tennessee and Arizona.
• 26:57
  Speaker 3: So I'm not sure how much you should read into that.
• 27:00
  Speaker 4: I can't watch Jameis Winston be quarterback and think that
• 27:04
  Speaker 4: there's anything there for that team, especially considering that I
• 27:07
  Speaker 4: have a bunch of fantasy stock on that team. I
• 27:10
  Speaker 4: have to watch them, and it's not pretty.
• 27:12
  Speaker 5: It's not pretty, but they find ways to win. I
• 27:14
  Speaker 5: don't think it's there.
• 27:15
  Speaker 3: I think they found ways to win against some really
• 27:17
  Speaker 3: bad teams in the National Football League. Looked like the
• 27:20
  Speaker 3: Philadelphia Eagles were going to defeat the Los Angeles Rams
• 27:23
  Speaker 3: and send a team that was going to go undefeated
• 27:27
  Speaker 3: this year to a 1-3 start.
• 27:30
  Speaker 5: Should have been that case, to be honest.
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: And instead they blew it.
• 27:33
  Speaker 3: Saquon Barkley injured in the very first quarter of the game.
• 27:37
  Speaker 3: That's fun for a fantasy owner of Saquon Barkley. Could
• 27:41
  Speaker 3: have used him down the stretch, didn't have him down
• 27:44
  Speaker 3: the stretch, and the Rams come back and win it
• 27:46
  Speaker 3: by a final score of 24-20. The Green Bay Packers
• 27:50
  Speaker 3: are so lucky to be 2-2 because they are playing
• 27:53
  Speaker 3: about as badly as any team in the league.
• 27:55
  Speaker 5: Awful.
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: But somehow they're pulling out. They pulled out a couple
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: of wins.
• 28:01
  Speaker 3: I mean, they faced Carson Wentz because Kyler Murray went down.
• 28:05
  Speaker 3: Geno Smith. And then Jalen Daniels, who filled in for
• 28:09
  Speaker 3: Baker Mayfield, who's out. Not Jaden Daniels.
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: No. Jalon Daniels. Yes.
• 28:14
  Speaker 3: And then when they faced one decent quarterback, Michael Penick
• 28:18
  Speaker 3: smoked them.
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: And so they won. They're 2-2.
• 28:23
  Speaker 3: I guess that's what you want to do when you're
• 28:24
  Speaker 3: not playing well, is you just want to keep your
• 28:26
  Speaker 3: head above water. But they did win 17-14 over a
• 28:30
  Speaker 3: winless Buccaneers team that will be featured next On Thursday
• 28:33
  Speaker 3: night football this week, and I can't wait for that.
• 28:35
  Speaker 5: It's another prime time.
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: Oh, sure.
• 28:37
  Speaker 5: Just golden game there.
• 28:40
  Speaker 3: The Ravens will play the Sunday night game against the
• 28:43
  Speaker 3: Falcons again.
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: It's the Falcons. I don't know.
• 28:47
  Speaker 4: I guess all they needed was Michael Penix back for
• 28:49
  Speaker 4: the league to believe in them.
• 28:51
  Speaker 3: Lamar Jackson, for a guy who has Zay Flowers on
• 28:55
  Speaker 3: his fantasy team, was feeling really good until it was
• 28:59
  Speaker 3: announced yesterday. that Lamar Jackson's injured. And he did not
• 29:02
  Speaker 3: play the second half. The Ravens hold on to win
• 29:05
  Speaker 3: 24-18 over Cam Ward and the Titans, and the Titans
• 29:08
  Speaker 3: have started 0-4 on the year. The Houston Texans are
• 29:12
  Speaker 3: also 0-4. I mean, this might be as good an
• 29:16
  Speaker 3: 0-4 team as in the history of football.
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: They're better than the Packers, in my opinion. Much better.
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: Way better. And yet, they can't win a game. Yeah.
• 29:25
  Speaker 3: And I think they don't have the right quarterback to
• 29:28
  Speaker 3: pull those victories off, but it's Dallas who pulls it
• 29:32
  Speaker 3: out in the end, 34-30 over the Texans.
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: CeeDee Lamb had 17 catches.
• 29:38
  Speaker 5: Oh my god.
• 29:39
  Speaker 3: And of course, I had to face him in fantasy.
• 29:44
  Speaker 3: I have not had worse luck ever. in the history
• 29:47
  Speaker 3: of playing fantasy football that I've had so far this year.
• 29:51
  Speaker 3: 189 yards for Lamb and the game-winning touchdown. The Minnesota
• 29:54
  Speaker 3: Vikings are 4-0. They defeated the Miami Dolphins 0-4, 15-10
• 29:59
  Speaker 3: the final score. The Vikings have only scored 47 points
• 30:03
  Speaker 3: in their last three games. They do not have a
• 30:05
  Speaker 3: good offensive team. They have a great defensive team. They've
• 30:09
  Speaker 3: only allowed 29 points in that stretch, including holding the Bears.
• 30:13
  Speaker 3: And Caleb Williams, who played Elfie for most of that game,
• 30:16
  Speaker 3: to just three points. The Las Vegas Raiders are for real, too,
• 30:21
  Speaker 3: and they might not have proven that more than they
• 30:24
  Speaker 3: did in their only loss this season. They were right there,
• 30:28
  Speaker 3: almost pulled off the victory against Ken Walker and the
• 30:31
  Speaker 3: Kansas City Chiefs. Walker had another monster game, 177 yards
• 30:36
  Speaker 3: and two touchdowns. Kansas City wins it 30-27 over the
• 30:41
  Speaker 3: now 3-1 Raiders. The Chiefs lost two wide receivers to injury.
• 30:46
  Speaker 3: and now seem to be knocking on the door of
• 30:49
  Speaker 3: an old friend by the name of Tyreek Hill. That
• 30:52
  Speaker 3: is the story that is being bubbled up on the
• 30:55
  Speaker 3: rumor mill. And the Denver Broncos lost to the San
• 30:58
  Speaker 3: Francisco 49ers. 49ers are 4-0, 24-14. The final score in
• 31:04
  Speaker 3: that one, finally, the Sunday Night Affair. I mean, Jared
• 31:08
  Speaker 3: Goff makes a lot of good plays, but man, he
• 31:10
  Speaker 3: makes a lot of boneheaded plays, too. And he cost
• 31:14
  Speaker 3: that team any chance of coming back in that game.
• 31:18
  Speaker 3: I mean, the lack of urgency that he.
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: Showed, it's okay. All right, I'll just dirt this and
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: throw this one away.
• 31:26
  Speaker 5: Take a sack with less than a minute left, no timeouts.
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, and then I'll be real slow getting up.
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: Don't worry, there's a fourth down. I don't know if
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: people realize this, but there's a fourth down.
• 31:35
  Speaker 4: Even though there's 15 yards to go in our own
• 31:37
  Speaker 4: 10-yard line.
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: I kind of blew those first three plays on purpose. Yeah.
• 31:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah, just to show you that there's a fourth down,
• 31:42
  Speaker 3: because some people don't know that there's a fourth down
• 31:44
  Speaker 3: that you get.
• 31:45
  Speaker 4: And Carolina left the door open, open for you to
• 31:48
  Speaker 4: come back.
• 31:49
  Speaker 3: Ted McMillan is fantastic. 14 catches, 192 yards, and two touchdowns.
• 31:54
  Speaker 3: Panthers win over the Lions. Both teams now 2-2 on
• 31:58
  Speaker 3: the season. Final score there was 32-26. The Monday night affair.
• 32:02
  Speaker 3: The Atlanta Falcons should just play every game in prime time.
• 32:05
  Speaker 4: Why not?
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: They're just that sexy.
• 32:08
  Speaker 3: At 1 and 2, they'll take on the New Orleans
• 32:10
  Speaker 3: Saints in the Big Easy tonight at 5.15, and you
• 32:13
  Speaker 3: can hear that action right here on your favorite radio station,
• 32:16
  Speaker 3: Sports Radio 93.3 KJRFM. We'll squeeze in some Huskies talk
• 32:20
  Speaker 3: next because we might have a Jared Goff ourselves.
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: Sports Radio 93.3 KJRFM.
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: Now back to Countdown to Monday Night Football with Chuck
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: in the Morning. Brought to you by Frostbrood Coors Light.
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: Cold as the Rockies. On Sports Radio 93.3, AJR FM.
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: All right, coming up at the top of the hour.
• 32:45
  Speaker 3: Here on this Monday morning.
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: Podcast, with Anders and with Chuck. Chris Kidd needed a
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: day off already. Four days in. Four days in. Really tired,
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: that one. We've got headlines coming up at the top
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: of the hour.
• 33:07
  Speaker 3: Also, Greg Bell's going to join us at 7.05, our
• 33:09
  Speaker 3: Seahawks insider, to see if we can get the mood
• 33:13
  Speaker 3: of the room.
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: I watched the Mike McDonald press conference. I know what
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: his mood is.
• 33:18
  Speaker 5: Not good.
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: No.
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: Not good.
• 33:21
  Speaker 3: So we'll get into that with Greg Bell at 7.05.
• 33:23
  Speaker 3: And don't you fret. Hugh Millen will join us today
• 33:25
  Speaker 3: from 8 to 9.40. to talk some Seahawks football. 30-23
• 33:31
  Speaker 3: Seahawks win, but also over the weekend, the Huskies lost
• 33:35
  Speaker 3: to the USC Trojans 25-21.
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: I made a brief statement earlier. I don't know if they.
• 33:39
  Speaker 3: Outplayed USC, but they certainly had every opportunity to win
• 33:44
  Speaker 3: the game. They had a terrible DeMond Williams fumble in
• 33:48
  Speaker 3: the game, which led to a USC touchdown, immediately led
• 33:53
  Speaker 3: to a USC touchdown. And then That last drive, they
• 33:56
  Speaker 3: seemed to have some momentum, looked like they could very
• 34:01
  Speaker 3: easily push it in, and just some really questionable plays
• 34:04
  Speaker 3: down the stretch by DeMond Williams Jr.
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: Once again, I thought, stood out.
• 34:10
  Speaker 3: Here's the thing about him, and it's very what we
• 34:13
  Speaker 3: talked about with Jared Goff, Anders. It's very Goff-like. I
• 34:18
  Speaker 3: want you to play like every down is a little
• 34:22
  Speaker 3: more precious than what you do.
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: Especially when the game is on the line. But he
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: has this thing that Goff has, like, don't.
• 34:30
  Speaker 3: Worry, there's four downs. I don't know if you guys
• 34:32
  Speaker 3: know this, but there are four downs. How about playing
• 34:34
  Speaker 3: well on first, second, or third down so that you're
• 34:37
  Speaker 3: not stuck with fourth down? They were one for 12
• 34:39
  Speaker 3: on third down, and then they went three for three
• 34:42
  Speaker 3: on fourth down, and it's like, don't worry about it.
• 34:45
  Speaker 3: We got fourth down.
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: Play with a little more urgency. Play with a little
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: more effectiveness. Play with a little better execution.
• 34:52
  Speaker 3: Play with your head a little bit more on a swivel,
• 34:55
  Speaker 3: and don't put yourself in fourth down. It's nice that
• 34:57
  Speaker 3: you have four downs to try to get the necessary
• 35:00
  Speaker 3: 10 yards, but I'd rather get.
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: It on second and third, and yet.
• 35:05
  Speaker 3: I didn't see— I saw the same thing at a golf
• 35:08
  Speaker 3: down the stretch last night that I saw from DeMond
• 35:10
  Speaker 3: Williams Saturday in Los Angeles.
• 35:12
  Speaker 4: Yeah, well, there's something to be said about a quarterback
• 35:14
  Speaker 4: who doesn't panic, right? Doesn't freak out on first down and,
• 35:19
  Speaker 4: you know, throw a pick because they're just way too—
• 35:23
  Speaker 4: urgent to go get something done. But at the same time,
• 35:27
  Speaker 4: there is something to be said about a sense of urgency. Like, hey,
• 35:31
  Speaker 4: we need to operate on schedule here. We can't just
• 35:33
  Speaker 4: assume that fourth down is going to be our savior
• 35:35
  Speaker 4: every single time.
• 35:37
  Speaker 3: And then the other thing about him, and I've said
• 35:40
  Speaker 3: this now for over a year watching him, I want
• 35:45
  Speaker 3: to risk, I don't want to risk hyperbole here, but
• 35:48
  Speaker 3: I do want to say it for emphasis.
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: I don't a.
• 35:56
  Speaker 3: Quarterback with worse pocket awareness. Like I said this about
• 36:02
  Speaker 3: him a year ago and it doesn't seem like it
• 36:04
  Speaker 3: has improved. I mean, think about this. You're one of
• 36:08
  Speaker 3: the fastest guys on the field as a quarterback. You're
• 36:12
  Speaker 3: one of the quickest guys on the field and you're
• 36:15
  Speaker 3: also the smallest guy on the field and somehow you're
• 36:19
  Speaker 3: not elusive. How is that possible?
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: I mean, in the open field, he can be.
• 36:26
  Speaker 3: When he's past the line of scrimmage and he gets
• 36:29
  Speaker 3: into the second level of the defense, you can see him.
• 36:32
  Speaker 3: I mean, he did it to the Cougs. He can
• 36:33
  Speaker 3: make little dipsy-dos and moves, and he's hard to bring down.
• 36:37
  Speaker 3: In the pocket, it's as if he runs into the tackler.
• 36:42
  Speaker 3: I mean, he made 94, that freshman, look like an All-American.
• 36:48
  Speaker 3: Made him look like Steve Entman on Saturday. It's as
• 36:53
  Speaker 3: if he was trying to get him tackles. If you're fast, quick, electrifying,
• 37:01
  Speaker 3: and tiny, and you don't use those things to your
• 37:05
  Speaker 3: advantage to escape pressure, I mean, whenever he tucks the ball,
• 37:09
  Speaker 3: he's usually down at the line of scrimmage or behind
• 37:13
  Speaker 3: the line of scrimmage, or he has to scramble out
• 37:16
  Speaker 3: of the way once he's scrambled into trouble and throws
• 37:19
  Speaker 3: the ball away.
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: There's just so many wasted downs with him.
• 37:23
  Speaker 3: And he's not the only reason that you didn't win
• 37:27
  Speaker 3: against the USC Trojans. And he did make some good
• 37:31
  Speaker 3: plays on Saturday night. But when you think about how
• 37:35
  Speaker 3: close you are, I mean, one play away, one play,
• 37:38
  Speaker 3: and it might be the difference in winning and losing
• 37:41
  Speaker 3: and how many plays were just wasted in the hands
• 37:46
  Speaker 3: of No. 1.
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: It felt like there were just.
• 37:48
  Speaker 3: Way too many You know, giveaways during the course of
• 37:52
  Speaker 3: the contest, including the big giveaway, the actual giveaway, which
• 37:56
  Speaker 3: led to the defensive score.
• 37:58
  Speaker 4: Yeah, his comp as a player was always Bryce Young
• 38:01
  Speaker 4: or Kyler Murray is what everyone said. But the thing
• 38:04
  Speaker 4: about those guys, as you mentioned. It almost feels like
• 38:07
  Speaker 4: with Demond, he has to switch on the switch in
• 38:10
  Speaker 4: his head that, okay, I'm a runner now. Now I
• 38:12
  Speaker 4: can actually avoid people trying to tackle me. Versus when
• 38:15
  Speaker 4: he's still in his mind that he's looking to pass,
• 38:18
  Speaker 4: he doesn't avoid those guys. You could still be elusive,
• 38:22
  Speaker 4: but also be looking to pass a lot of the time.
• 38:24
  Speaker 4: You don't have to be elusive just as a runner.
• 38:27
  Speaker 4: of the football, but for whatever reason that, that, that
• 38:29
  Speaker 4: kind of transition for him has been really tough. And
• 38:32
  Speaker 4: I agree with you.
• 38:33
  Speaker 3: It's one of the toughest plays to have to defend
• 38:35
  Speaker 3: is the Michael Vick Lamar Jackson quarterback in college where
• 38:40
  Speaker 3: the defense, the secondaries backs are turned and he finds
• 38:43
  Speaker 3: the gap in between the pass rush and And before
• 38:46
  Speaker 3: the secondary even knows what's hit them, he's running down
• 38:49
  Speaker 3: the field, coaches are screaming, and you can't even get
• 38:52
  Speaker 3: to him until he's 15 to 20 yards down the field.
• 38:54
  Speaker 3: We never get that from DeMond Williams. He had 24
• 38:57
  Speaker 3: yards rushing the other day. I mean, you better, 26,
• 39:01
  Speaker 3: you better figure out to do some design runs because
• 39:04
  Speaker 3: he cannot scramble and turn it into yardage. It's the
• 39:08
  Speaker 3: strangest thing because he has all the makings of being
• 39:11
  Speaker 3: one of the most dangerous, scrambling quarterbacks in the history
• 39:15
  Speaker 3: of college football. But it feels to me at times
• 39:18
  Speaker 3: he runs right into where the pressure's coming from.
• 39:23
  Speaker 5: And he's not helped with his coaching, I don't think either.
• 39:25
  Speaker 4: There's not a lot of scheme or stuff like that
• 39:29
  Speaker 4: that really kind of makes the most out of that,
• 39:31
  Speaker 4: but it's not great to watch.
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: Scheme him up, because he needs to use his legs
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: as a weapon. Scheme him up.
• 39:37
  Speaker 3: We're so afraid to do design runs because he's going
• 39:40
  Speaker 3: to get hurt, and yet we're going to let him
• 39:42
  Speaker 3: get battered in the pocket because he can't avoid a
• 39:44
  Speaker 3: pass rush.
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: All right, coming up next, headlines and Greg Bell. Sports
