  Speaker 3: They're the worst. Well, good morning to you all. Ashley
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: Ryan is here, Bucky Jacobson is here. My name is
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: Chuck Powell. I am a pullback the curtain kind of
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: radio host. I've been told my entire life don't do that.
• 2:35
  Speaker 9: Yeah, I don't know.
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I like doing it myself, just to give people
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: an idea that you know, you put our pants on
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: one leg at a time, just like everybody else.
• 2:46
  Speaker 9: Some of us.
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Ashley's got this incredible skill about her is that
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: it doesn't matter what time she leaves her house. Yep,
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: she can get here with three men and it's despair.
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: It's like she enters a portal somewhere, steps past Sam Levitt. Yeah,
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: demon sits where Demand Williams was sitting there for a
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: little while. It's like she steps into a portal and
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: she finds her way to get here. It was looking
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: pretty hairy. You know, you're telling me we have a
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: we have a business where we get up pretty early,
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: and I'm actually shocked that we don't oversleep more often
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: than what we do as a collective. But she overslept
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: a little bit, panicked, a little bit, sleep a little bit,
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: a lot of bit.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: I woke up at five nineteen.
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: Okay, oh that's a lot. Warned us, Hey, this is
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: going to be pretty tight. And part of me was like, well,
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: maybe we should figure out how to just start the
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: board in case this happens again. And then another part
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: of me was like, she could leave at five point
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: fifty five and get here at five seven incredible.
• 3:52
  Speaker 8: I was usually like, I come up here at the
• 3:54
  Speaker 8: same time. But again, I've told you guys this before.
• 3:56
  Speaker 8: I usually finish my makeup in the car before I
• 3:58
  Speaker 8: come upstairs.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: Makeup on today you can see that.
• 4:02
  Speaker 8: Yeah, that's that's why I'm not one of the beautiful people.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: But no, I woke up.
• 4:07
  Speaker 8: I was like, I slept terribly and then I must
• 4:10
  Speaker 8: have fallen into a deep sleep right before my alarm
• 4:12
  Speaker 8: went off. So when it went off, I just I
• 4:15
  Speaker 8: guess turned it off, although I have more than one,
• 4:17
  Speaker 8: so I don't know how this happened.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: Happened, and then I.
• 4:19
  Speaker 8: Woke up and I thought, I feel like I've been
• 4:22
  Speaker 8: I feel like my third alarm should have gone off
• 4:25
  Speaker 8: by now.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: And I looked. I look at the clock, and I thought,
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: five nineteen. That's not a normal time I wake up.
• 4:32
  Speaker 8: And then I went five nineteen and I just I
• 4:35
  Speaker 8: was like, I don't have time to do anything, so
• 4:38
  Speaker 8: I just grabbed everything. I'm surprised I didn't get dressed
• 4:41
  Speaker 8: in the car honestly, and.
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: Got the revive.
• 4:46
  Speaker 8: I five project is really trying to screw me over
• 4:48
  Speaker 8: on my morning commute because now I have to leave
• 4:50
  Speaker 8: earlier because they closed the south down five expresses.
• 4:53
  Speaker 9: You, No, you don't really have to leave earlier.
• 4:55
  Speaker 8: Apparently, Well, no, apparently I don't, but for my own comfort,
• 5:00
  Speaker 8: I leave earlier so that I don't end up betting
• 5:02
  Speaker 8: here at five fifty seven.
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: I want to say, actually, just to test it, wake
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: up tomorrow at six oh four, see if I can
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: see if you can get here on time fifty I
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: think we need to test this.
• 5:15
  Speaker 8: Okay, well, we're gonna have to ask the boss for permission,
• 5:18
  Speaker 8: and I'm gonna have to show you how to run
• 5:19
  Speaker 8: the board.
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: Which we should probably learn anyway. So why don't we fair.
• 5:24
  Speaker 8: We have done this. We have talked about this multiple times.
• 5:27
  Speaker 5: I know there's a button you have to turn and
• 5:29
  Speaker 5: then push it down, and then there's another button you
• 5:32
  Speaker 5: have to turn and turn it to a certain thing
• 5:34
  Speaker 5: and then push it down. And then there's something else
• 5:37
  Speaker 5: you have to hit.
• 5:37
  Speaker 8: Oh yeah, yeah, two buttons of turning and pushing down,
• 5:40
  Speaker 8: and then you've got to enter insert a thing.
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: And then you have to enter a code every eleven
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: minutes otherwise. Yeah.
• 5:47
  Speaker 9: But then, so I got it pretty much.
• 5:48
  Speaker 5: A problem is is there's six hundred buttons back there.
• 5:52
  Speaker 9: Yeah, so I don't.
• 5:53
  Speaker 5: Think we would have gotten on the air, but you
• 5:56
  Speaker 5: could have facetimed.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: I'm certain that some of these buttons don't do any thing.
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm I'm convinced of that. But yeah, we should
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: have a roadmap for that, because you know, once you
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: get on we can kind of fill a bus. Yeah,
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: then I'll just stay home as long as we need to.
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, no, then I'll rush here.
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but yeah, I want to see. I want to
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: test it at some point. You know, let's plan it,
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: let's clear it with the bosses. But I want you
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: to leave at six oh four and see if you
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: can get here by five point fifty seven.
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: Okay, I have a feeling if I left.
• 6:25
  Speaker 8: By six oh four, I wouldn't get here by six
• 6:27
  Speaker 8: fifty seven, because once you're in the six o'clock hour, you're.
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: Probably right, I think. And hell, I hear in the
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: nine o'clock hour, it's impossible to get to work on time.
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: I've heard of that just for some one person. I've
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: heard that most.
• 6:39
  Speaker 5: People don't have hard time getting to their job if
• 6:41
  Speaker 5: they have to start at ten.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: I wonder if that would be.
• 6:45
  Speaker 9: Hard most people.
• 6:47
  Speaker 8: I wonder if this portal between my house and here
• 6:49
  Speaker 8: is similar to the transfer portal.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: There are a lot of people in it.
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah, there's a lot, yeah, constantly yeah, uh, you know,
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: and not all of them know where they're going.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: No, none of them do. It seems like some don't
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: even know. Yeah, some don't know there's actual laws.
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: Well, good morning to you all. It's we're glad to
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: be together here on this Tuesday morning and on time,
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: remarkably on time. As we get things going, we got
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: you for the next four hours and Tuesdays are loaded
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: with some of our regulars who will certainly be paying
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: us a visit. We'll cover that with What's on tap
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: in a moment. Last night was the final piece of
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: an eight piece puzzle for this weekend's viewing of the
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: National Football League playoffs, one in which the Seahawks are
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: a major part of. The Houston Texans get the win
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: last night over the Pittsburgh Steelers thirty to six was
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: the final wasn't nearly as lopsided as the final score indicates.
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: It was actually very much in question late in that contest,
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: but the Texans ended up with a couple of defensive
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: touchdowns and end up winning this thing by twenty four
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: last night, so they went on the road. They advance
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: over the Steelers. More on that coming up in a moment.
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: The game was over, the network finally did get around
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: to announcing. I don't know why this needed to be
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: this precious game. I think it was just like, we
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: want the viewers to stick around for the entire game,
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: just for ratings. That's the only thing that I can
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: Even Joe Buck was making fun of it last night.
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: But when the game was over, they finally did announce.
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: And apparently they kept this from all the networks, like
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: the NFL was even even Joe and Troy were sitting
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: there going where are we.
• 8:27
  Speaker 9: Going to be?
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: All the way until the got the slip of paper
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: in their hands to announce the times for this weekend's games.
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: The Seahawks will play Saturday night. Seems like that was
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: a poorly kept secret. It's kind of what Greg has
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: been telling us for days was going to happen. So
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: five o'clock Saturday night against the forty nine Ers, obviously
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: here in Seattle, and the game will be on Fox.
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: So you know, Phil special Seahawks. Tom Brady will be
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: calling your game on Saturday night. The most handsome person
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: I Hope Pizza, Hut Hutt Hut So Seahawks forty nine Ers,
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: five o'clock. That's going to be Saturday night on Fox.
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: That means Bill's Broncos will play the first game of
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: the weekend at one thirty in Denver. That will be
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: on CBS. Then you'll have Rams Bears will be the
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: late game on Sunday on NBC and that will be
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: in Chicago. And then the early game on Sunday will
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: be Texans at Patriots. That will be on ABC, Slash, ESPN,
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: and that will get started at noon our time. So
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: there you go. Now you know the Elite eight is
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: set in the National Football League. You know when we're playing.
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: We obviously already knew who we were playing. We know
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: where we'll be playing in terms of what network you'll
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: you'll be able to watch, and of course if you want,
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: if you're getting to go to the game, then you
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: know how to make preparations there as well. But we
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: now know the entire puzzle and we can act accordingly
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: going forward. And I'll say this after watching the Texans
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: and the Steelers last night. As much as we seem
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: to love our defense here in town, I'm really not sure,
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: it's the best in the National Football League, and I
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: know Denver's got a really good one too, But man,
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: that Texans defense is unbelievable. They are stifling and I
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: don't know if defense wins championships. I know it has
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: in the past. I don't know if it's something that
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: you should hang your hat on as an NFL organization,
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: that defense wins championships. I don't know if that regularly occurs,
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: but if it does, the Texans have a very good
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: chance of winning at all this year. That's how good
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: that defense is.
• 10:40
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: Well, they get after the passer for sure, and they
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: should right.
• 10:44
  Speaker 5: I mean, they spent some serious draft capital on a
• 10:46
  Speaker 5: couple guys that are coming off the edge there, and
• 10:49
  Speaker 5: it's one of those whether you're a forty two year
• 10:52
  Speaker 5: old quarterback or a twenty four year old quarterback, you
• 10:54
  Speaker 5: better be you better figure out a way to be
• 10:57
  Speaker 5: nimble and kind of have some have some eyes in
• 11:01
  Speaker 5: the back of your head because they are. I mean,
• 11:03
  Speaker 5: that pocket just doesn't last for it, No, And then
• 11:05
  Speaker 5: the defense, secondarily the secondary. They understand you don't have.
• 11:10
  Speaker 9: To cover very long.
• 11:11
  Speaker 5: We don't have to worry about a ton of stuff now,
• 11:13
  Speaker 5: there was a couple of shots that there was one
• 11:16
  Speaker 5: that Aaron Rodgers got the ball knocked out of his
• 11:18
  Speaker 5: hand and fumbled, and yet DK was wide open.
• 11:22
  Speaker 9: He was gonna be wide open.
• 11:23
  Speaker 5: So it's one of those there's a risk in playing
• 11:27
  Speaker 5: that type of defense, and yet it's really hard to
• 11:30
  Speaker 5: get to it's really hard to take advantage of it
• 11:32
  Speaker 5: because you just don't have very much time.
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: They have the best addresser combo in the NFL, between
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: Anderson and Daneil Hunter. I think both of them were
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: named either first team or second team. I think Anderson
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: was first team and Hunter was second team All Pro,
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: not Pro Bowl All Pro. And then they've got Stingley
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: who's a lockdown corner. They are a sure tackling team
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: at least on par with the Seahawks, maybe even more so.
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: And they've got a defensive minded head coach whose schemes
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: really well. And they are frenzied. I mean they are
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: just they are like seagulls on a bird on a
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: on a bread truck down at the beach. I mean
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: that's they They just come out of everywhere. Every every
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: time you see a team drop by, that seems like
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: seven Texans are tackling a ball carrier at a time,
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: so they're dangerous.
• 12:21
  Speaker 8: And Jalen Pete Petru Pete, I don't know how you
• 12:24
  Speaker 8: pronounced his last name.
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: He's really good.
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: P I t r E Petre, Yeah, he's He's very
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: good as well. But the Texans are legit on defense
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: and New England's gonna find that out, I think on Sunday. Meanwhile,
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: on the flip side of it, the Pittsburgh Steelers are
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: out and even though they made the playoffs, won a
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: Division One double digit games. This is now going on
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: several years where Steeler fans are not happy. They are
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: just tired of mediocrity and either barely making the playoffs
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: or barely missing the playoff. They are no more amused
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: by Mike Tomlin's unbelievable one of the great streaks ever
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: in the history of football, that he's never had a
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: losing record in eighteen nineteen years as the head coach
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: of the Pittsburgh Steelers. I mean, it's a phenomenal stretch,
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: but Steeler fans are no longer amused by it. They
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: don't find it cute anymore. They've been booming now for
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: two three seasons. They've been chanting all your long, fire Tomlin,
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: and here they are once again packing their bags without
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: a playoff win. I mean, this is another incredible statistic.
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: TJ Watt, as good as he is, has never won
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: a playoff game. As often as they've been in the playoffs,
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: TJ Watt has never played won a playoff game. He
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: and his brother JJ combined are three and eleven in
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: their careers. The Watts don't win in the postseason. So
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: the Steelers aren't broken, there's no doubt about that as
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: an organization, but certainly the fans are done with mediocrity,
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: and it's going to be interesting to see what decisions
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: are going to be made. Look like Aaron Rodgers last
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: game of his career last night, and Mike Tomlin, even
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: if he's not fired, might make the decision to step away.
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: And that seems to be the buzz right now in
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: the league.
• 14:20
  Speaker 5: I suppose if it's I if he decides he'd like
• 14:23
  Speaker 5: to step away because he just doesn't want to hear
• 14:25
  Speaker 5: the noise, right, I mean, there's there's there's an aspect
• 14:28
  Speaker 5: I understand of you know, mediocrity, the the you know lukewarm.
• 14:33
  Speaker 9: You don't want that spit that out.
• 14:35
  Speaker 5: But boy, I mean I'm one that would I mean,
• 14:38
  Speaker 5: if I'm an owner, I just most certainly would be
• 14:40
  Speaker 5: really really careful of where you go next. And I
• 14:43
  Speaker 5: mean we witnessed it here. It wasn't like Pete Carroll
• 14:46
  Speaker 5: had fallen off and was having three win seasons. It
• 14:49
  Speaker 5: was just you weren't You weren't contending with McVeigh and
• 14:53
  Speaker 5: with Kyle Shanahan. They were beating you consistently, and so
• 14:56
  Speaker 5: it was like, all right, we got to move on.
• 14:57
  Speaker 9: Now.
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: I don't think that's the example people are going to give,
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: but I see what happened in Seattle. They only dealt
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: with three years of mediocrity, made a really uncomfortable decision,
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: got rid of a franchise icon, and look where they
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: are now. They got better immediately in the next year,
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: and two years later they're a super Bowl contender.
• 15:13
  Speaker 5: There's a real good chance that it isn't a Mike McDonald,
• 15:16
  Speaker 5: or that you think you get the next Mike McDonald
• 15:18
  Speaker 5: and you go end up getting four wins and you
• 15:21
  Speaker 5: end up going backwards.
• 15:22
  Speaker 9: And then now I don't.
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: Saying that's the worst thing either. Look I'm not getting
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: rid of Mike Tomlin, but there's a little secret about
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: the professional sports. The last place you want to be
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: is than the land of mediocrity, where you're not getting
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: any better, but you don't get bad enough in order
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: to rebuild it to make it great again. And that's
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: where Pittsburgh seems to be stuck. And it's not for
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: two or three years. They've been stuck in that mode
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: now for about ten.
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah it's ritse and repeat every year.
• 15:47
  Speaker 5: Yeah yeah, well, I mean they back in twenty twenty
• 15:51
  Speaker 5: they ended up going twelve and four and winning the division.
• 15:53
  Speaker 5: Since then they hadn't won the division, but they'd still
• 15:56
  Speaker 5: found ways into the playoffs more often than not. And
• 15:59
  Speaker 5: then this year they end up winning the division. Now
• 16:01
  Speaker 5: they win the division kind of in a you know,
• 16:03
  Speaker 5: missed field goal situation or they would have been out.
• 16:05
  Speaker 5: And it's a ten and seven record. You know, I
• 16:08
  Speaker 5: don't know for sure if that team is ready to
• 16:11
  Speaker 5: be a Super Bowl contender. I think I put him
• 16:14
  Speaker 5: a notch above what I thought the Panthers were. But
• 16:17
  Speaker 5: the Panthers played, you know, matched up well against the
• 16:20
  Speaker 5: Rams and played them closer than how the game wound
• 16:23
  Speaker 5: up against Houston. I don't I just to me, I
• 16:26
  Speaker 5: would be more patient. But then again, that's a lot
• 16:28
  Speaker 5: of patients.
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: It just is.
• 16:30
  Speaker 5: I just I would always be worried about kicking something
• 16:33
  Speaker 5: to the curb, because you know, Mike Tomlin would get
• 16:35
  Speaker 5: a job somewhere. If he wanted to get a job
• 16:37
  Speaker 5: this next year, he'd get a job somewhere. I don't
• 16:39
  Speaker 5: think Steelers are worried about No.
• 16:40
  Speaker 8: I think it would be a situation similar to the
• 16:43
  Speaker 8: John Harbaugh situation.
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: Just yeah, you know what it's not working for If.
• 16:46
  Speaker 5: You were a Steelers fan and he ended up going
• 16:48
  Speaker 5: to Baltimore or end up going to Cleveland, you wouldn't
• 16:51
  Speaker 5: be worried about that.
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: Oh I would be worried about it about that.
• 16:54
  Speaker 5: I don't think there's any way he would do that,
• 16:56
  Speaker 5: just because you don't think he would.
• 16:58
  Speaker 9: He loves the Steelers too much.
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: But we see looking.
• 17:02
  Speaker 9: To the Niners, you know what I mean?
• 17:04
  Speaker 8: Like, yeah, but I think he'd be looking for something
• 17:05
  Speaker 8: totally new if he's gonna If him and the Steelers
• 17:08
  Speaker 8: decided mutually the part ways, because I don't think that
• 17:10
  Speaker 8: they'd fire him.
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: I think it would be a hey, is this working
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: for you?
• 17:14
  Speaker 8: Is this working for you? Now, let's just do something different.
• 17:17
  Speaker 8: I don't think he'd stay stay in that area.
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: It's the same situation with Harball. It's the same situation.
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: And they were there almost the exact same amount of time.
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: You know, they each made it all the way to
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: the Promised Land. Uh, they have consistently won, and half
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: of that rivalry has moved on, and it was organizational.
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: I would look, I'm I think the world of both
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: of those guys, Harball and Tomlin, but there does reach
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: a point, especially in today's day and age, where so
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: many people, I mean, I gotta wonder if Mike Tomlin
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: doesn't even want to be there anymore.
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what I'm saying. It's like a mutual choice.
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: As much as I've done for this organization, I don't
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: want to hear my name chanted fire Tomlin every single
• 17:59
  Speaker 3: home game.
• 18:00
  Speaker 9: Now.
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: Maybe he wants to move on from it. And and
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: if the Steelers make that decision, I don't think Mike
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: Tomlin or John Harball would choose the rival that they've
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: spent the last two decades being a rival against. I
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: don't think that would happen. But if they did, I mean,
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: I'm not going to worry about where the head coach
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: is going that I fired, I'm going to worry about
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: who can I get so that we are no longer
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: one and done in the playoffs, are barely missing the playoffs.
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: Nine to eight is no place to be in the
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: National Football League.
• 18:34
  Speaker 5: No, I mean, I get it, and I understand the
• 18:37
  Speaker 5: idea of want upgrade, especially if you feel like your
• 18:40
  Speaker 5: steps away from it. And yet the you know the
• 18:43
  Speaker 5: fact that the Steelers the last couple of years, I
• 18:45
  Speaker 5: mean they had Aaron Rodgers who played and lasted the
• 18:49
  Speaker 5: whole season, and he still can do some things. He
• 18:52
  Speaker 5: obviously does some stuff that you know between the years
• 18:55
  Speaker 5: that that others can't, but he can't do other things.
• 18:57
  Speaker 5: The year before they had Russell Wilson and Fields, And
• 19:01
  Speaker 5: so it's kind of one of those like when you
• 19:03
  Speaker 5: end up having That's what your quarterback situation is, is
• 19:06
  Speaker 5: a is an old a forty two year old dude
• 19:08
  Speaker 5: or a couple guys who won is on his way
• 19:11
  Speaker 5: downward with Russell Wilson or Josh Fields who just has
• 19:14
  Speaker 5: a hard time figuring out how to do quarterbacking. I
• 19:17
  Speaker 5: mean really really at a high level as far as
• 19:19
  Speaker 5: the passing part of it goes, it's like, I don't
• 19:21
  Speaker 5: know for sure what's expected of the head coach, and
• 19:23
  Speaker 5: yet what does he do doesn't matter. You give him
• 19:26
  Speaker 5: whatever you give him. He just kind of makes a medium,
• 19:28
  Speaker 5: you know, flavored soup.
• 19:30
  Speaker 3: Well, he wanted Rogers and he wanted the Russell Wilson Fields.
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: I mean, he had a hand and out. He's got
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: so much power there, and that's part of the reason
• 19:37
  Speaker 3: why fans are frustrated. You know, they could add Matt
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: Stafford and didn't choose Matt Stafford. They didn't choose They
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: gave up draft capital for DK Metcalf, you know. So
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: he's part of that too. He's part of that equation
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: and that's one of the frustrations that Steelers fans have.
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: I love him, I think the world of him, and
• 19:56
  Speaker 3: I hope he lands on his feet. I don't want
• 19:57
  Speaker 3: him to go anywhere. I want him be a part
• 19:59
  Speaker 3: of the National f Fotball League. He's got the best
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: press conferences out there. I think he'll be a success
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: at the next place that he's at. But I get
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: why somebody that's accomplished as much as he has is
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: done with being booed in the city that he's accomplished.
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: That much in and I get, and I get why
• 20:17
  Speaker 3: a fantas a franchise and a fan base is like
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: this is like ridiculous. I mean, this is like ten years,
• 20:23
  Speaker 3: We're not getting any better, We're not getting any worse.
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: Sometimes you got to get worse in order to get better.
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: And yet we've got this guy that has this unbelievable
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: ability to take whatever meat scraps that he gets and
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: make hot dogs with it. We need steak again here
• 20:36
  Speaker 3: in Pittsburgh. So I think the look I didn't realize
• 20:39
  Speaker 3: there's a lot of smoke. We'll talk more about this
• 20:41
  Speaker 3: later on in the show, but I think he's gonna
• 20:44
  Speaker 3: believe either his own choice or their choice. I got
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: the exact same feeling about Tomlin as I had about
• 20:51
  Speaker 3: Harball a couple of weeks ago. All right, let's find
• 20:53
  Speaker 3: out what's on tap of the show today.

• 24:55
  Speaker 5: drop the gloves right here, and nobody's messing with Alan Fitzie, right.

• 25:06
  Speaker 5: where's he? And then Benton pops out?

• 26:15
  Speaker 3: Houston's thirty to six win of the Pittsburgh Steelers last night.
• 26:20
  Speaker 3: The game wasn't nearly that lopsided. It was actually very close,
• 26:23
  Speaker 3: and then Houston got a couple of defensive scores late
• 26:26
  Speaker 3: and end up winning by twenty four. Could be Aaron
• 26:29
  Speaker 3: Rodgers last game ever. Could be Mike Tomlin's last game
• 26:33
  Speaker 3: as head coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers. Two stories that
• 26:36
  Speaker 3: certainly are being tossed around here today by all the
• 26:40

  Speaker 1: I can't remember?
• 27:14
  Speaker 3: All right, Yeah, is coming back to the PGA hat
• 27:17
  Speaker 3: in hand and admitting that I've got a lot offenses
• 27:20
  Speaker 3: to mend here back on the PGA, and it sounds
• 27:23
  Speaker 3: like he's not going to be the last one to
• 27:25
  Speaker 3: do it. Sounds like some other guys are going to
• 27:27
  Speaker 3: be following in his footsteps. All right, let's talk to
• 27:30
  Speaker 3: Greg Bell.
• 27:31

  Speaker 4: Now with twelf Man News, here's Greg Bell with Chuck
• 27:53
  Speaker 4: and Bud.
• 27:53
  Speaker 3: Good morning, Greg, Good morning. As somebody that still has
• 27:58
  Speaker 3: a Franco Harris Jersey on your wall with your wife hates,
• 28:02
  Speaker 3: I'm pretty sure. Let me ask you about the Steelers
• 28:07
  Speaker 3: situation before we talked to Seahawks. Aaron Rodgers last game,
• 28:10
  Speaker 3: Mike Tomlin possibly out as head coach, a team that
• 28:14
  Speaker 3: is good every year but is having a hard time
• 28:17
  Speaker 3: getting too great. It's sort of similar to when John
• 28:21
  Speaker 3: had to make that decision. I think about Pete a
• 28:23
  Speaker 3: couple of years ago. What are your thoughts on the
• 28:26
  Speaker 3: Steelers situation and all of those juicy storylines.
• 28:31
  Speaker 7: Well, I think Aaron Rodgers played his last game. They
• 28:34
  Speaker 7: signed him with the intent of having it one year.
• 28:37
  Speaker 7: The problem with the Steelers signing Rogers is it put
• 28:41
  Speaker 7: off their quarterback situation for a few years now because
• 28:45
  Speaker 7: it drafted Will Howard at Ohio State. He got hurt
• 28:48
  Speaker 7: in the summer and he didn't play at all in
• 28:50
  Speaker 7: the preseason when he was supposed to develop in preseason
• 28:54
  Speaker 7: games and get game reps and be with the one offense,
• 28:57
  Speaker 7: and he didn't do any of that. And the Mason
• 29:00
  Speaker 7: Rudolph is the number two who's only signed for this
• 29:03
  Speaker 7: year as well as a stopgap veteran backup, so their
• 29:06
  Speaker 7: quarterback situation is really not good and they don't know
• 29:11
  Speaker 7: what they have and Will Howard, but this may be
• 29:13
  Speaker 7: time to go find out. And the question to me
• 29:16
  Speaker 7: isn't whether the Steelers are going to fire Mike Tomlin.
• 29:21
  Speaker 7: Do you know how many coaches the Steelers have had
• 29:22
  Speaker 7: in my lifetime, your lifetime?
• 29:24
  Speaker 9: Two? Three, three, three? Yeah?
• 29:26
  Speaker 11: Three, Chuck Noll, Bill Cower, Mike Tomlin, Yeah, three in
• 29:31
  Speaker 11: fifty five years, fifty six years, now three. The Browns
• 29:36
  Speaker 11: have had three in like the last four months, so
• 29:39
  Speaker 11: that it's they are good the Rooney fan.
• 29:42
  Speaker 7: As long as the Rony family runs and our Roney
• 29:45
  Speaker 7: Junior is still in charge, I can't see him firing
• 29:48
  Speaker 7: Mike Tomlin. But the question to me becomes, does Mike
• 29:52
  Speaker 7: Tomlin want to be part of what needs to be
• 29:54
  Speaker 7: a rebuild at the quarterback position or will he walk
• 29:57
  Speaker 7: away and say, Okay, I'm done now, because really that's
• 30:00
  Speaker 7: what needs to happen. Whether they draft one, I can't
• 30:03
  Speaker 7: see him signing another. Russell Wilson Aaron Rodgers one year
• 30:07
  Speaker 7: stopgap type is Will Howard? Are you just gonna run
• 30:10
  Speaker 7: with Will Howard, which means you're gonna take a couple
• 30:12
  Speaker 7: of years before you're good again, and that's the question
• 30:15
  Speaker 7: of whether Mike Toumman wants to do that. And I'm
• 30:18
  Speaker 7: really surprised if the Steelers sire coach when as I said,
• 30:21
  Speaker 7: they don't. They just don't operak that way and it's
• 30:23
  Speaker 7: part of what has made them good. But in reason
• 30:27
  Speaker 7: that's seven playoff games in a row now that they're
• 30:29
  Speaker 7: not even competitive. Last night was the first time in
• 30:32
  Speaker 7: seven playoff games the Steelers scored a point in the
• 30:35
  Speaker 7: first quarter, and it was only three and it was
• 30:38
  Speaker 7: the first drive of the game, and that was it.
• 30:40
  Speaker 7: That was pretty much the game. Yeah, that was I
• 30:43
  Speaker 7: could go on and on about how I was physically
• 30:46
  Speaker 7: ill watching that.
• 30:49
  Speaker 5: Do you think he would want to walk up? I mean,
• 30:51
  Speaker 5: I hear what you're saying, does he want to stick
• 30:53
  Speaker 5: around for the rebuild that it would maybe need to
• 30:56
  Speaker 5: be happening to get out of this kind of lukewarm
• 30:58
  Speaker 5: where they're at. I mean, how much does Mike Tomlin
• 31:03
  Speaker 5: love Pittsburgh, I mean how much he's built there? And
• 31:05
  Speaker 5: does he want to just finish his career as the
• 31:07
  Speaker 5: Steelers head coach.
• 31:09
  Speaker 7: I don't think he's done coaching, So that's the question.
• 31:12
  Speaker 7: I'd never personally talk to him about this, but I
• 31:15
  Speaker 7: get the impression that he's not done coaching. So the
• 31:18
  Speaker 7: question becomes, does he want to coach a rebuild, because
• 31:21
  Speaker 7: that's what needs to happen, especially the most important position
• 31:24
  Speaker 7: in the sport. So that's to me, what's up in
• 31:27
  Speaker 7: the air, and I would guess that's what he and
• 31:29
  Speaker 7: Rudy and the Steelers brass are going to be talking
• 31:32
  Speaker 7: about here in the next couple of days. His willingness
• 31:35
  Speaker 7: to want to be a part of doing that. A
• 31:38
  Speaker 7: network would hire him tonight to be an analyst. He's
• 31:42
  Speaker 7: a very good people person, very good communicator, glib of course,
• 31:46
  Speaker 7: knows what he's doing and came up from his bootstratch
• 31:49
  Speaker 7: type of guy. They hired him twenty some years ago
• 31:52
  Speaker 7: as a defensive assistant with the Minnesota Vikings. He was
• 31:56
  Speaker 7: thirty some years old and no one ever heard of
• 31:58
  Speaker 7: him and took over a Super Bowl team and maintain
• 32:03
  Speaker 7: that now. Again, you're right, it's mediocrity since then. But
• 32:08
  Speaker 7: the difference to me between the Pete Carroll parallel and
• 32:11
  Speaker 7: Mike Tomlin is there's no team in professional sports that
• 32:15
  Speaker 7: has the continuity at ownership and coaching that the Steelers
• 32:18
  Speaker 7: do so these not these snap decisions that they just
• 32:22
  Speaker 7: don't do that, and that's how they've operated. And for
• 32:26
  Speaker 7: half a century it has worked with six Super Bowl rings,
• 32:29
  Speaker 7: So it just hasn't worked recently.
• 32:31
  Speaker 3: Well, arguably the safest head coaching situation in the NFL.
• 32:36
  Speaker 3: Mike McDonald had his press conference yesterday on a Monday.
• 32:41
  Speaker 3: And what stood out to you about his comments yesterday?
• 32:46
  Speaker 7: Well, I really focused. A lot of us did asking
• 32:50
  Speaker 7: him questions about how odd it is to play the
• 32:52
  Speaker 7: same team two times in a row. The Seahawks haven't
• 32:54
  Speaker 7: done it since nineteen ninety one with a bye weeknd between,
• 32:59
  Speaker 7: and I asked, I somewhat clumsily asked it. It worded
• 33:02
  Speaker 7: very well, are you gonna make a change? Are you
• 33:06
  Speaker 7: going to change game plan and approach just to change
• 33:08
  Speaker 7: because you can't just copy the same thing, because they're
• 33:11
  Speaker 7: going to prepare for that. And he said, there is
• 33:15
  Speaker 7: a lot of stuff in that forty nine or week
• 33:17
  Speaker 7: eighteen game plan, and we didn't use the way the
• 33:20
  Speaker 7: game went, how they played field position once, as he
• 33:24
  Speaker 7: always says, the game presented itself, and he saw that
• 33:27
  Speaker 7: the forty nine Ers were not moving the ball against
• 33:30
  Speaker 7: his defense. He started calling it differently on offense and
• 33:34
  Speaker 7: defen Then we talked about how he went forward on
• 33:35
  Speaker 7: fourth and goal with the Ford the first drive because
• 33:38
  Speaker 7: of how he believed his defense wasn't going to get
• 33:41
  Speaker 7: moved on that game. And so it made me think, oh,
• 33:46
  Speaker 7: that's interesting because harvaugh was gonna do Harbor Shanahan's gonna
• 33:49
  Speaker 7: do the same thing. He's got stuff that he didn't
• 33:52
  Speaker 7: use in that game because they fell behind quickly and
• 33:55
  Speaker 7: had to play catchup. And I think the number one
• 33:59
  Speaker 7: thing that they and used that they'd better use more
• 34:01
  Speaker 7: from the forty nine ers. And I would think that
• 34:03
  Speaker 7: the Seahorks are going to prepare for is Christian McCaffrey
• 34:06
  Speaker 7: in the run game. Now having said that he did
• 34:08
  Speaker 7: not run the ball at all and not for yards
• 34:11
  Speaker 7: against Philadelphia. It was startling how few running plays they had.
• 34:15
  Speaker 7: I mentioned of the first sixty plays, the forty nine
• 34:18
  Speaker 7: ers ran thirteen of them. Excuse me, it was fifty plays,
• 34:22
  Speaker 7: thirteen of them, only thirteen where Christian McCaffrey runs. To me,
• 34:27
  Speaker 7: that has to change. As well as the Seahawks have
• 34:30
  Speaker 7: played against the run, I think he got to challenge
• 34:32
  Speaker 7: them more than San Francisco challenged them in the run
• 34:35
  Speaker 7: both in Philadelphia last weekend and in week eighteen, and
• 34:39
  Speaker 7: on the Seahawks side, I'm thinking they're going to push
• 34:42
  Speaker 7: the ball down the field more than they did that game.
• 34:44
  Speaker 7: Once they saw that. They didn't think the forty nine
• 34:46
  Speaker 7: ers are going to drive on him that night, They
• 34:49
  Speaker 7: just basically if it was soccer, they parked the bus.
• 34:52
  Speaker 7: I mean, they just let's say, we're just going to
• 34:54
  Speaker 7: play rope dope and you're not gonna beat us and
• 34:57
  Speaker 7: be thanks to the interception by Drake Thomas at the
• 35:00
  Speaker 7: they never came close to scoring a touchdown as the
• 35:02
  Speaker 7: closest they got. I don't think, as Mike McDonald said,
• 35:06
  Speaker 7: there's a ninety nine point nine nine nine nine, I
• 35:08
  Speaker 7: think he had four point nines chance that the game's
• 35:11
  Speaker 7: not gonna go the way in Santa Clara on Saturday night,
• 35:15
  Speaker 7: and if it doesn't, it means the Seahorks are gonna
• 35:17
  Speaker 7: have to score more than one touchdown. I think they're
• 35:19
  Speaker 7: going to push it down the field against this defensive
• 35:21
  Speaker 7: front that hasn't gotten many sacks and that has problems
• 35:25
  Speaker 7: covering guys down the middle of the field.
• 35:27
  Speaker 9: Yeah, well, I mean to me.
• 35:28
  Speaker 5: You look at the stats from that Week eighteen game,
• 35:31
  Speaker 5: and I mean it was dominant, and you got to
• 35:33
  Speaker 5: give credit to the Mike McDonald and the defense, the
• 35:36
  Speaker 5: way in which they just were stifling and didn't let
• 35:39
  Speaker 5: They didn't let anything even when.
• 35:40
  Speaker 9: There was a completion.
• 35:41
  Speaker 5: They just were tackling them immediately and made everybody grasp tough.
• 35:44
  Speaker 5: But I'm with you, I don't the two to one
• 35:47
  Speaker 5: time of possession. If you can keep Kyle Shanahan's mind
• 35:50
  Speaker 5: off of the field as far as his offense, yeah
• 35:53
  Speaker 5: you're gonna be good. And so credit to him for
• 35:55
  Speaker 5: doing that. But I look at the total place. Seattle
• 35:59
  Speaker 5: had sixty seven total plays to forty two for the Niners,
• 36:02
  Speaker 5: and yet you still only won thirteen to three. You
• 36:05
  Speaker 5: only had that one touchdown. So your thing in pushing
• 36:08
  Speaker 5: the ball down the field is the way in which
• 36:10
  Speaker 5: they're going to do it, even though the recipe of
• 36:12
  Speaker 5: pounding the rock and running almost forty times is what
• 36:15
  Speaker 5: created the dominant win in.
• 36:17
  Speaker 7: Eight week eighteen, right, buggy, Because to me, it was
• 36:20
  Speaker 7: a chicken in the egg thing. Did they run because
• 36:22
  Speaker 7: they were successful running or did they run so much
• 36:25
  Speaker 7: because they had to lead the whole game, and I
• 36:27
  Speaker 7: think they ran forty times because they had to lead
• 36:30
  Speaker 7: the whole game and didn't think the forty nine ers
• 36:32
  Speaker 7: gould to score on them, and they had the field
• 36:34
  Speaker 7: position advantage the whole game. McDonald talked afterwards how San
• 36:37
  Speaker 7: Francisco was the best team in the league field average
• 36:41
  Speaker 7: start time for their drives, average start position, and they
• 36:44
  Speaker 7: were backed up to their own goal line most of
• 36:46
  Speaker 7: the night because of the run game, and even when
• 36:49
  Speaker 7: the Seahawks punted, they were punting from midfield and pinning
• 36:52
  Speaker 7: them back against their own goal line. To going a
• 36:54
  Speaker 7: FOURD on fourth and goal with the four, he went
• 36:55
  Speaker 7: for it because he knew a drive start for the
• 36:58
  Speaker 7: forty nine ers inside their own five was not going
• 37:00
  Speaker 7: to result in points, and as he said, he was
• 37:02
  Speaker 7: taking the belief that if we had the forty nine
• 37:06
  Speaker 7: ers start inside their own five, we were going to
• 37:07
  Speaker 7: get the ball back in a field position to go
• 37:10
  Speaker 7: score again anyway, even though that's why we didn't go
• 37:12
  Speaker 7: for the field goal here, because we'd get the field
• 37:14
  Speaker 7: goal on next drive. Sure enough, the next drive start
• 37:17
  Speaker 7: after that failed fourth and goal of the four, the
• 37:19
  Speaker 7: Seahawks started at the nine or thirty five so there's
• 37:25
  Speaker 7: it would be lightning striking twice at the same point
• 37:28
  Speaker 7: at the same time for the Seahawks to have that
• 37:30
  Speaker 7: kind of game. Again, no matter how good their defense is,
• 37:34
  Speaker 7: they can't expect to absolutely annihilate and shut down an
• 37:37
  Speaker 7: offense to the point where they are inert and not
• 37:39
  Speaker 7: going to score a touchdown. So I can't think. And
• 37:43
  Speaker 7: then McDonald said yesterday he knows he can't count on
• 37:46
  Speaker 7: not allowing a touchdown this week.
• 37:49
  Speaker 3: Forty nine Ers played a really good, physical team with
• 37:51
  Speaker 3: a very good defense and one and put twenty three
• 37:55
  Speaker 3: points on the board this past weekend. How big of
• 37:58
  Speaker 3: a difference are we talking about that just the presence
• 38:01
  Speaker 3: of Trent Williams makes on their offensive line.
• 38:05
  Speaker 7: Well, I pushed back a little bit because I think
• 38:08
  Speaker 7: the Eagles stink. I think the Eagles offense is terrible.
• 38:12
  Speaker 7: I think that they run plays that make Jalen Hurts
• 38:14
  Speaker 7: look like a Bedestrian quarterback when he's one of the
• 38:16
  Speaker 7: better ones in the league. I think they were really
• 38:19
  Speaker 7: flawed in their game plan against San Francisco. I think
• 38:22
  Speaker 7: Aj Brown should catch some passes for the bunny he makes.
• 38:26
  Speaker 7: I think that they were just malfunctioned on offense, and
• 38:30
  Speaker 7: it allowed San Francisco to stay in the game long
• 38:32
  Speaker 7: enough to pull it out at the end. The Seahawks
• 38:36
  Speaker 7: are a much much better offensive team and threatening a
• 38:39
  Speaker 7: defense that is weak now. Having said that, they only
• 38:42
  Speaker 7: season scored one touchdown the last time they played ten
• 38:45
  Speaker 7: to eleven days ago. But I really when watched that
• 38:49
  Speaker 7: game Sunday, that Eagles played right into what the forty
• 38:52
  Speaker 7: nine ers forty hundreds are missing. All these dudes on defense.
• 38:55
  Speaker 7: Challenge those guys if they can't pass rush, throw the
• 38:59
  Speaker 7: ball down field if I run at them, And they
• 39:04
  Speaker 7: were not. The Eagles were not consistent in doing anything.
• 39:07
  Speaker 7: Now they had their own offensive line problems and injuries
• 39:09
  Speaker 7: as well. Trent Williams is a big deal, though, and
• 39:13
  Speaker 7: he played that game under what San Francisco reporters said
• 39:16
  Speaker 7: was the risk of further injuring his hamstring. It sounds
• 39:20
  Speaker 7: like he has come out of the game okay at
• 39:24
  Speaker 7: his age hamstrings short week flying back from the East
• 39:28
  Speaker 7: Coast to play again, I'm sure he's not going to
• 39:30
  Speaker 7: be right until almost game time. But even a little
• 39:33
  Speaker 7: bit of Trent Williams is better than anybody else. The
• 39:36
  Speaker 7: forty nine ers and most teams have left tackle, so
• 39:39
  Speaker 7: that does matter. But I don't think the Eagles game
• 39:42
  Speaker 7: was because of Trent Williams. I think it was because
• 39:44
  Speaker 7: the Eagles just ineptitude on offense. Eagles would have lost
• 39:48
  Speaker 7: the most teams that day the way they played offensively.
• 39:51
  Speaker 5: Yeah, gee, I mean health. Whyse you're talking about we
• 39:56
  Speaker 5: were talking about, you know, Trent Williams and what not.
• 39:59
  Speaker 9: Health.
• 39:59
  Speaker 5: Why is any reports or any any idea on anybody
• 40:02
  Speaker 5: that's hobbled on our side?
• 40:04
  Speaker 7: Well, McDonald was pretty positive about all the hurt guys
• 40:08
  Speaker 7: have been injured reserve and Kobe Bryant, all of them
• 40:11
  Speaker 7: coming back to practice. Chas Urrott could come back to
• 40:14
  Speaker 7: practice a special team's main stage, George Halane. Elijah Royo
• 40:18
  Speaker 7: already came back to practice last week off injured reserve,
• 40:21
  Speaker 7: which would mean he's probably gonna be added to the
• 40:23
  Speaker 7: active roster. They'll have to take somebody off before the
• 40:25
  Speaker 7: game Saturday. But Arroyo shit looks like he will play
• 40:28
  Speaker 7: for the first time in a month. And we already
• 40:30
  Speaker 7: mentioned Charles Cross last week coming back to practice. It
• 40:33
  Speaker 7: appears he's going to play and start at left tackle.
• 40:36
  Speaker 7: When I ask about Kobe Bryant. He said he thinks
• 40:39
  Speaker 7: Brian's going to play, and that would be excuse me practice.
• 40:42
  Speaker 7: He didn't say play, but be able to practice this week,
• 40:46
  Speaker 7: and so he'll be to be determined whether he can
• 40:48
  Speaker 7: play or not. Tyle Cott has been very good for
• 40:52
  Speaker 7: Kobe Bryant, after being very good for Julian Love at
• 40:54
  Speaker 7: both safety spots. But Kobe Bryant is a very good
• 40:59
  Speaker 7: player and a very good tackler after catches, and he's
• 41:02
  Speaker 7: gotten a lot better it actually plays on the ball
• 41:05
  Speaker 7: in intercepting passes recently. They could certainly use him for
• 41:09
  Speaker 7: the rest of the playoffs. But this is what your
• 41:12
  Speaker 7: benefit of having a bye week and not having to
• 41:13
  Speaker 7: play last week, so they are getting healthier. They have
• 41:15
  Speaker 7: some designated to return moves they could make to the
• 41:20
  Speaker 7: active roster. They'd have to cut guys to do it,
• 41:22
  Speaker 7: but I would expect a royo maybe who definitely cross
• 41:27
  Speaker 7: a Royal, and maybe Kobe Bryant to play this week.
• 41:30
  Speaker 3: All right, last minute or so, as somebody that covered
• 41:33
  Speaker 3: DK Metcalf the Seahawk, I'll bring it full circle to
• 41:36
  Speaker 3: talk about DK Metcalf the Steeler. Couple big drops last
• 41:41
  Speaker 3: night obviously missed the last two games of the regular
• 41:44
  Speaker 3: season could have kept his team from making the playoffs
• 41:48
  Speaker 3: because he couldn't control his temper with a fan. Did
• 41:51
  Speaker 3: the Steelers get a dose of why he was available
• 41:55
  Speaker 3: on the trade market this season?
• 41:58
  Speaker 7: Yes, he looked like a lot of Seahawks seasons, didn't
• 42:02
  Speaker 7: he That He tried to catch a pass with his
• 42:04
  Speaker 7: hands crossed last night, that one in Layton's first quarter.
• 42:08
  Speaker 7: That would have been a twenty five thirty yard game
• 42:10
  Speaker 7: and would have gotten the Steelers in scoring position. His
• 42:14
  Speaker 7: hands were crossed as an axe as the ball arrived.
• 42:17
  Speaker 7: That's a I couldn't believe it. It's like, I don't
• 42:20
  Speaker 7: know how his hands got so how to place there.
• 42:23
  Speaker 7: There's no way he could catch that pass trying to
• 42:25
  Speaker 7: catch it with an axe. And then Rogers didn't throw
• 42:28
  Speaker 7: him until the fourth quarter. Rogers little enough to know
• 42:32
  Speaker 7: what he's doing by doing that. And I thought to myself,
• 42:35
  Speaker 7: they're paying thirty some million dollars a year for receiver
• 42:38
  Speaker 7: that the quarterback doesn't want to throw to. Yeah, that's
• 42:41
  Speaker 7: not good. Now. If when Rogers leaves, and if it
• 42:44
  Speaker 7: is a youth movement and a restart at quarterback, at
• 42:47
  Speaker 7: least Metcalf will have a rookie quarterback or a young
• 42:50
  Speaker 7: quarterback who's never started, who will throw him the ball,
• 42:53
  Speaker 7: you would think. But yeah, that whole thing. My Pittsburgh
• 42:58
  Speaker 7: friends in the media for the Steelers, they are all
• 43:02
  Speaker 7: over me. But you did, I said, yeah, I did
• 43:04
  Speaker 7: tell you. Yeah, I'll tell you about it. I told
• 43:08
  Speaker 7: you all of this. I told you in September we
• 43:10
  Speaker 7: went back there in Pittsburgh. They came up from the
• 43:13
  Speaker 7: locker room, the Steelers beat writers complaining about how Metcalf
• 43:16
  Speaker 7: wouldn't talk after the Seahawks game. Yeah, I just yeah, yeah, yeah,
• 43:24
  Speaker 7: and get used to that. Yeah, he talked more to
• 43:28
  Speaker 7: fans in the stands this year than he did in Pittsburgh.
• 43:31
  Speaker 7: So he's he has not ingratiated himself there and laughing
• 43:36
  Speaker 7: only because we've seen it and covered it.
• 43:37
  Speaker 3: Interesting. All right, Greg, thank you sir, We appreciate We'll
• 43:40
  Speaker 3: talk to you again tomorrow.
• 43:42
  Speaker 7: All right, Happy Tuesday. Thank you.
• 43:43
  Speaker 3: All right, Greg Bell our Seahawks inside of joining us
• 43:45

• 45:53
  Speaker 9: come here, Chuck. One of the best we could do.
• 45:57
  Speaker 11: All right.
• 45:57
  Speaker 3: Well, we've got a lot of things to and I'm
• 46:01
  Speaker 3: excited to dive into it. But obviously we got a
• 46:04
  Speaker 3: big game coming up on Saturday. You at CBS will
• 46:07
  Speaker 3: not be here. We've got Fox doing our broadcasts. Otherwise
• 46:12
  Speaker 3: maybe we would we could see you while you were
• 46:14
  Speaker 3: in town. But I did want to ask you about
• 46:17
  Speaker 3: the officiating crew that has been assigned to the Seahawks
• 46:20
  Speaker 3: Rams game, John Hussey and his crew. What kind of
• 46:24
  Speaker 3: scouting report can you give on give us?
• 46:27
  Speaker 12: Well, you know, Hussey has been around a good long time,
• 46:30
  Speaker 12: so you know you've got a veteran referee there that
• 46:33
  Speaker 12: has been in these situations in the past, which is
• 46:36
  Speaker 12: always great crew wise, as you guys know, you know,
• 46:39
  Speaker 12: it's not Hussy screw from the regular season. So we're
• 46:43
  Speaker 12: moving into that divisional round now where it's the top
• 46:46
  Speaker 12: tier of the three tiers of officials that.
• 46:48
  Speaker 9: Are assigned these games.
• 46:50
  Speaker 12: And for the most part, again because of John's experience,
• 46:53
  Speaker 12: I'm sure that he has been on cruise with you know,
• 46:56
  Speaker 12: a handful of these officials for sure, And it's that
• 47:00
  Speaker 12: blending right now, and I you know, really the intensity.
• 47:04
  Speaker 9: Levels pickup check.
• 47:05
  Speaker 12: You know, the game plays just a little bit different now,
• 47:09
  Speaker 12: and I think the quicker that you can get this
• 47:13
  Speaker 12: group together, start to break down tape, look at team matchups,
• 47:16
  Speaker 12: look at individual matchups, and then understand you know, the
• 47:21
  Speaker 12: environment that you're going into. Things then hopefully fall in
• 47:26
  Speaker 12: place and they continue. I think we've had a good
• 47:29
  Speaker 12: opening in a postseason, you know, always a couple of
• 47:31
  Speaker 12: plays here and there, But I thought, overall, the officiating
• 47:35
  Speaker 12: this last weekend, it's some great, great wild card football games.
• 47:39
  Speaker 12: Hasn't been the story, you know, And that's always the goal, right,
• 47:44
  Speaker 12: is that we talk about the games the matchups are
• 47:46
  Speaker 12: not the game impacting call or something like that that
• 47:50
  Speaker 12: took place. So you've got to continue on this momentum
• 47:53
  Speaker 12: and get through what's going to be I think an
• 47:55
  Speaker 12: amazing divisional round now too.
• 47:57
  Speaker 3: One other quick follow up. Would you rather have your
• 48:00
  Speaker 3: crew that you have symmetry with or do you like
• 48:04
  Speaker 3: the all star crews at that time of the year.
• 48:07
  Speaker 12: I think it's I think the All Star cruise. I
• 48:09
  Speaker 12: was always a proponent of that. You know, when you
• 48:11
  Speaker 12: go into a regular season with one hundred and twenty
• 48:13
  Speaker 12: plus officials that vary in their levels of experience, and
• 48:17
  Speaker 12: hopefully the crews are put together in a way where
• 48:20
  Speaker 12: some inexperienced officials are kind of working alongside of officials
• 48:25
  Speaker 12: of more experienced There's a lot of training and mentoring
• 48:29
  Speaker 12: that really does have to take place, you know, on
• 48:31
  Speaker 12: the ground in real time. So you do spread that
• 48:34
  Speaker 12: out a little bit. You want to be consistent as
• 48:36
  Speaker 12: you can around seventeen crews, which there are in the
• 48:39
  Speaker 12: regular season. But when you get to this spot, now,
• 48:41
  Speaker 12: let's let's go to that top ten, fifteen to twenty percent.
• 48:46
  Speaker 12: When you're working with officials that are that have that
• 48:49
  Speaker 12: level of experience and are having those types of years.
• 48:52
  Speaker 9: Putting them together shouldn't.
• 48:54
  Speaker 12: Be an issue, you know, I think it's the best
• 48:56
  Speaker 12: way to handle this. You want to take the best
• 48:58
  Speaker 12: of the best. Now, as we know, the losers go
• 49:01
  Speaker 12: home now, you know.
• 49:02
  Speaker 5: Yeah, Geene, I mean obviously as an official, you don't
• 49:06
  Speaker 5: want to be on you know, in the talking points
• 49:10
  Speaker 5: the next week about a bad call that cost somebody
• 49:13
  Speaker 5: their season, and in the playoffs it is you lose
• 49:15
  Speaker 5: and you're done, or bad non call that cost you
• 49:19
  Speaker 5: your season. So I'm wondering if there is a concerted
• 49:23
  Speaker 5: change or an effort to try to like maybe throw less,
• 49:27
  Speaker 5: like let the players play, so to speak, because you
• 49:30
  Speaker 5: do seem what it does feel like there's certain things
• 49:32
  Speaker 5: that maybe would have gotten flagged in Week three and
• 49:34
  Speaker 5: they're not so much because it's kind of just you're
• 49:37
  Speaker 5: letting the guys go out and play. So is there
• 49:40
  Speaker 5: one of those is there a change between the years,
• 49:42
  Speaker 5: and do you is the head official, do you go
• 49:44
  Speaker 5: out there and kind of tell you guys, hey, let's
• 49:47
  Speaker 5: let's not throw it unless we're one hundred percent positive.
• 49:50
  Speaker 12: Yeah, you know what, Bucky, It's a great question, and
• 49:53
  Speaker 12: it does feel that way. And I thought the irony
• 49:56
  Speaker 12: of going into the postseason always was you did feel
• 50:00
  Speaker 12: on the field it was like the fraternity of players.
• 50:03
  Speaker 12: During the regular season, they were going to compete and
• 50:06
  Speaker 12: be physical and all of the things that you would
• 50:09
  Speaker 12: expect athletes to do at that level. But when you
• 50:13
  Speaker 12: got to the postseason, it was almost like when you
• 50:15
  Speaker 12: saw them even kind of talking to each other a
• 50:17
  Speaker 12: little bit before the game. They may have played college together,
• 50:21
  Speaker 12: been on a different team together, and they respect the
• 50:23
  Speaker 12: hell out of each other, but they would look at
• 50:25
  Speaker 12: each other in this time of the year and it
• 50:27
  Speaker 12: was kind of the accepted peace of the postseasons, like
• 50:31
  Speaker 12: you know, I love you, but today I'm taking you out.
• 50:34
  Speaker 12: You know, I'm trying to get you off the field
• 50:37
  Speaker 12: kind of thing. So the intensity picks up. Players do
• 50:40
  Speaker 12: play right to the edge because they have to. I
• 50:43
  Speaker 12: also think that players understand the magnitude of penalties and
• 50:47
  Speaker 12: what they mean in these types of games too, So
• 50:50
  Speaker 12: it's almost as if they're even more polished on not
• 50:54
  Speaker 12: maybe making that additional little piece that pushes the envelope,
• 50:58
  Speaker 12: but they're still playing on the edge, if that makes
• 51:00
  Speaker 12: any sense, And quite honestly, from an officiating window, you
• 51:04
  Speaker 12: want it instill. I always wanted to instill in the
• 51:07
  Speaker 12: preseason with my crew the same kind of mantra that
• 51:12
  Speaker 12: we are feeling right now, and that is, listen, in
• 51:14
  Speaker 12: this game with these athletes, you don't want to call
• 51:18
  Speaker 12: that tiki tac play in the first quarter for so
• 51:21
  Speaker 12: many reasons. First of all, I think we always said
• 51:24
  Speaker 12: fish for whales.
• 51:25
  Speaker 9: Don't fisher minnows.
• 51:26
  Speaker 12: That was just kind of a little analogy that kept
• 51:29
  Speaker 12: it simple and make it be a really big foul
• 51:32
  Speaker 12: right now, the small chain stuff once you call something
• 51:36
  Speaker 12: like that, and I use my basketball acumen for that.
• 51:39
  Speaker 12: You know, when we call a nickel dime handcheck in
• 51:41
  Speaker 12: a basketball game, it not only wasn't the right thing
• 51:44
  Speaker 12: for the game, it also put the officials in a
• 51:46
  Speaker 12: box to stay consistent through the rest of that game
• 51:49
  Speaker 12: because now this was on the field, or this was
• 51:51
  Speaker 12: on the court as a called foul, and I think
• 51:54
  Speaker 12: when you breathe through the hand fighting, when you breathe
• 51:57
  Speaker 12: through a little bit of restriction and it doesn't affect
• 52:01
  Speaker 12: the play, or they are pushing each other a little
• 52:03
  Speaker 12: bit to breathe through, that it should play through that
• 52:06
  Speaker 12: way throughout the regular season. But I do think that
• 52:09
  Speaker 12: you emphasize it a little bit more and more than
• 52:11
  Speaker 12: likely in the postseason because everyone understands the magnitude of
• 52:17
  Speaker 12: what everything. Every decision, as you said, sometimes an on call,
• 52:22
  Speaker 12: but every decision has a great impact in these types
• 52:25
  Speaker 12: of games because they're so close and usually that those
• 52:29
  Speaker 12: types of things can decide the difference.
• 52:31
  Speaker 3: Man, the fiscality just seemed to got ramped up this week.
• 52:34
  Speaker 3: Oh man, those are some physical football games that we
• 52:37
  Speaker 3: watched this weekend. Jean start Are is with us. He is,
• 52:41
  Speaker 3: of course CBS Rules analysts greatest NFL official of all time,
• 52:45
  Speaker 3: and we get to chat with him here on Chuck
• 52:48
  Speaker 3: and Buck. Thanks to BMW Seattle. You had the Jacksonville
• 52:53
  Speaker 3: Buffalo game and a really really interesting game from beginning
• 52:57
  Speaker 3: to end, and one call that didn't end up impacting
• 53:02
  Speaker 3: the outcome. I found to be the most fascinating of
• 53:04
  Speaker 3: the NFL weekend and that's when the clock seemed to
• 53:08
  Speaker 3: run out at halftime and they were racing to get
• 53:12
  Speaker 3: to the line, and it looked like there was a
• 53:14
  Speaker 3: zero on the scoreboard and they didn't get it off
• 53:17
  Speaker 3: in time. My question was, and maybe you addressed it
• 53:20
  Speaker 3: in the game. I don't know if I heard it.
• 53:22
  Speaker 3: Don't the officials keep a different clock than the one
• 53:25
  Speaker 3: that you see on your television, because it didn't look
• 53:29
  Speaker 3: like they got the snap off in time, and yet
• 53:31
  Speaker 3: they ultimately reviewed it and gave them a chance at
• 53:34
  Speaker 3: the kick. So explain that one to us as you
• 53:37
  Speaker 3: saw it unfold.
• 53:39
  Speaker 12: I think there is that dynamic naturally, and when you're
• 53:41
  Speaker 12: a back judge who is primarily responsible for the game
• 53:44
  Speaker 12: clock in those situations, the back judges mechanics as that
• 53:50
  Speaker 12: previous play is ending and you realize that the next
• 53:53
  Speaker 12: situation is this snap or no snap. What a back
• 53:56
  Speaker 12: judge is doing in that situation and the only two
• 53:59
  Speaker 12: things she should be doing is looking at the game
• 54:02
  Speaker 12: clock and then looking back to make sure as they're
• 54:05
  Speaker 12: looking and transitioning from the game clock to the field
• 54:10
  Speaker 12: that the offense, all the offensive players are set. Because
• 54:13
  Speaker 12: that's the deciding factor on the legality of whether a
• 54:16
  Speaker 12: snap can take place, and a lot of other things,
• 54:19
  Speaker 12: so that back is really looking at both now. At times,
• 54:23
  Speaker 12: the little input graphic clock could be off a little
• 54:27
  Speaker 12: from the official clock. I don't know if that was
• 54:29
  Speaker 12: the case in this one and the other dynamic with
• 54:32
  Speaker 12: that play, which is a little bit of a you know,
• 54:34
  Speaker 12: kind of a second or third level nerdy referee piece
• 54:38
  Speaker 12: that when we're in those hurry up situations, if the
• 54:42
  Speaker 12: offense is legally set, all eleven players are still and
• 54:45
  Speaker 12: a player of the defense just hasn't gotten back from
• 54:49
  Speaker 12: the offensive side of the ball, and he's trying to
• 54:51
  Speaker 12: kind of squeeze like he's in a you know, a
• 54:54
  Speaker 12: human traffic jam between the tackle and the guard to
• 54:57
  Speaker 12: get on his side of the football. Anytime defensive player
• 55:01
  Speaker 12: is still on the offensive side of the ball when
• 55:04
  Speaker 12: the offense is legally set and prepared to spike the football,
• 55:08
  Speaker 12: I had a lot of questions, like, why did that clock.
• 55:11
  Speaker 12: I mean, when he spiked it, it was clearly zero,
• 55:14
  Speaker 12: But because the defensive player was still in the offensive
• 55:18
  Speaker 12: side of the football at the time the offense was
• 55:20
  Speaker 12: set and began to snap, that play officially ends as
• 55:24
  Speaker 12: soon as that center starts to move that football at all.
• 55:28
  Speaker 12: So that's where I went and was focusing. I don't
• 55:32
  Speaker 12: know if the NFL now considers going into the tenth
• 55:35
  Speaker 12: of a second that we've seen in you know, basketball
• 55:37
  Speaker 12: for years now because of a lot of last second
• 55:40
  Speaker 12: shots or play clock expirations, and see if that happens
• 55:44
  Speaker 12: within the last second or three seconds of a game
• 55:47
  Speaker 12: clock scenario. It was really, really, really close, and I
• 55:52
  Speaker 12: thought that I had a look on my replay that
• 55:54
  Speaker 12: felt like that center kind of almost kind of hitched
• 55:58
  Speaker 12: for just a quick second right before which again that
• 56:01
  Speaker 12: hitch would be an illegal snap or something that that
• 56:05
  Speaker 12: effects if everyone were legally set. But because that movement
• 56:09
  Speaker 12: occurred and the defense was still on the offensive side
• 56:12
  Speaker 12: of the football, that has a shutdown play. And I
• 56:15
  Speaker 12: do think we were somewhere in that limbo between the
• 56:18
  Speaker 12: one becoming the zero, right like this camera frame is
• 56:21
  Speaker 12: zero and one camera frame back is like it's a
• 56:25
  Speaker 12: full one. So where were we in that time? But
• 56:29
  Speaker 12: I've never had that happen. I've never seen it happen before.
• 56:31
  Speaker 9: That was kind of a one off for me.
• 56:33
  Speaker 12: And then for those that think you didn't get it off,
• 56:35
  Speaker 12: we go back to the backyard the playground and go
• 56:38
  Speaker 12: back to that great saying that the ball doesn't lie
• 56:41
  Speaker 12: right because they missed the field goal and it was
• 56:44
  Speaker 12: all for not at the end of it all, so
• 56:46
  Speaker 12: you know, the football gods know what they're doing. We
• 56:49
  Speaker 12: start messing things up a little too much.
• 56:51
  Speaker 9: Down there, and they're like, all right.
• 56:52
  Speaker 12: Go ahead, line it up, and a gust of wind
• 56:55
  Speaker 12: shows up out of nowhere.
• 56:56
  Speaker 9: It blows and watching.
• 57:00
  Speaker 5: Geane, there was another play in that game. It was
• 57:03
  Speaker 5: like in the second quarter, Jacksonville was up I think
• 57:06
  Speaker 5: seven to three, and they're they're marching down there. They're
• 57:09
  Speaker 5: they're inside the ten yard line. That's a fourth and two.
• 57:12
  Speaker 5: They go for it and and Trevor Lawrence ends up
• 57:15
  Speaker 5: running and initially it looks like he gets the first down.
• 57:18
  Speaker 5: They even went so far as to do that the
• 57:20
  Speaker 5: virtual measurement, and then show that he does get it.
• 57:23
  Speaker 5: But then they challenge the spot and his shin was down.
• 57:26
  Speaker 5: I have a couple of things. One without the perfect angle,
• 57:30
  Speaker 5: or if someone's blocking the perfect angle, that's probably not
• 57:33
  Speaker 5: going to get overturned. And two is it anything except
• 57:37
  Speaker 5: for their foot or hand, Like if it wasn't his
• 57:39
  Speaker 5: shin was down. Like just at first, I'm like, was
• 57:42
  Speaker 5: ankles down? He kind of looks like he pushes off
• 57:44
  Speaker 5: of his ankle. Is that considered down as well?
• 57:48
  Speaker 7: Well?
• 57:48
  Speaker 12: When the ankle begins to roll into the shin and
• 57:52
  Speaker 12: in this little kind of fractionary anatom each class, then
• 57:56
  Speaker 12: when it gets above the ankle, he's down. Same with
• 58:00
  Speaker 12: the back of the wrist. That would apply with the
• 58:03
  Speaker 12: forearm and the wrist, so you give it a piece
• 58:05
  Speaker 12: of that wrist or a piece of that ankle, but
• 58:07
  Speaker 12: as soon as it gets a little.
• 58:08
  Speaker 9: Beyond that, now they're down.
• 58:10
  Speaker 12: The other element I thought was really really important on
• 58:13
  Speaker 12: that play was with Trevor Lawrence kind of that that
• 58:17
  Speaker 12: shin buckled to launch himself toward the line the game.
• 58:22
  Speaker 12: I didn't feel, in my objective opinion, that he was
• 58:25
  Speaker 12: putting himself down.
• 58:26
  Speaker 9: By contact with that shin.
• 58:29
  Speaker 12: More, he was, you know, projecting himself forward, whether a
• 58:33
  Speaker 12: body part cuts down down at that point or not.
• 58:36
  Speaker 12: To me, unless he was being touched by a defensive player,
• 58:40
  Speaker 12: I would not have counted that shin or knee to
• 58:44
  Speaker 12: be a downpoint, like a sliding point, you know, giving
• 58:47
  Speaker 12: himself up point at that at that at that juncture, uh,
• 58:51
  Speaker 12: and that's why I was really focusing really a lot
• 58:54
  Speaker 12: on Thompson fifty six from from Buffalo to see if
• 58:59
  Speaker 12: he was touching a lots when that right shin or
• 59:02
  Speaker 12: that body part was down prior to.
• 59:04
  Speaker 9: The launch, and we got a great angle.
• 59:06
  Speaker 12: I think it was our second angle of the replay
• 59:10
  Speaker 12: which really presented that to me really well because you
• 59:12
  Speaker 12: could still see the shin there and him being touched
• 59:15
  Speaker 12: prior to him catapulting himself forward, so there were a
• 59:18
  Speaker 12: lot of legs on it. And then we got to
• 59:20
  Speaker 12: see too. Look, the virtual measurement came out as the
• 59:23
  Speaker 12: first down because the virtual measurement is always going off
• 59:27
  Speaker 12: of where the people on the field beside the football is.
• 59:31
  Speaker 12: So as much as that nice technology that comes in
• 59:34
  Speaker 12: to show when it shows, it all goes back to, well,
• 59:39
  Speaker 12: we're measuring it from where the humans put it, right.
• 59:42
  Speaker 9: So the challenge then came.
• 59:44
  Speaker 12: I thought there was a really big time challenge there,
• 59:47
  Speaker 12: and then we did see that he was being touched
• 59:50
  Speaker 12: prior to him launching himself, you know, beyond the line
• 59:53
  Speaker 12: of gain. So I think everything worked in the right
• 59:55
  Speaker 12: process there. And another big decision because if you take
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 12: three at that point, uh, you know, maybe the game
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 12: unfolds a little differently too, But that was just the
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 12: gist of the weekend where those decisions we were just
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 12: huge everywhere.
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Jeane Sterator is with us, all right. The last
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 3: one that I want to make sure that we get
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 3: to was at the end of the college game between
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 3: Ole Miss and Miami. Now, I'm a swallow your whistle
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 3: kind of I'm a proponent of that at the end
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 3: of a game. Let's let the players decide this and
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 3: in your but in your analogy of whales versus minnows
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 3: that that pass interference or lack thereof of a call
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 3: seemed kind of whale like to me, Jane, very whaleish,
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 3: because it looked like that receiver was getting mugged for
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 3: about seven straight yards heading into the end zone. What
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 3: should have been called there or not called that?
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 12: You're talking like, that's a big whale.
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 9: The way there's seven steps.
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 12: That's a that's a whale that I don't don't have
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 12: a hook for it, Chuck. I thought, maybe go just
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 12: with a medium sized BUSI or something. But man, a days,
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 12: you know what I looked at on the play and look,
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 12: it's not a traditional helmiry play, which I do think
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 12: you have to take a breakthrough because there's just too
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 12: many people clusted at the catch point that you can
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 12: break it down and say there's three files on the
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 12: play and just keep redoing the darn thing because of
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 12: the offsetting. Probably what I really looked at on the
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 12: play is when they initially came together, probably about three
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 12: or four steps before the catchpoint of the ball got there.
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 12: To me, I felt like the receiver initiated at least
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 12: putting an arm toward that defensive BacT that was.
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 9: Coming to him.
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 12: Again, when I train officials in those aspects, and a
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 12: defensive back is on what we call chase mode because
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 12: he's behind and now as he's closing in on that receiver,
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 12: the receiver now does put an arm out or begins
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 12: to initiate some little hand fighting or some contact within
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 12: that space. Says they start to become closer together once
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 12: those one offensive player starts to initiate some of that.
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 12: I want to allow the defensive player not to physically
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 12: restrict or hold things down in an egregious way, but
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 12: now I want to allow you to have a little
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 12: hand fighting from your side as well. We are both
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 12: now making a decision that our hands are going to
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 12: play within our bodies here in a little bit of
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 12: separation or a little bit of push on either end
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 12: of that space without it being overly egregious, I think
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 12: is good officiating. I think that's that wrail that's when
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 12: it goes into that other place right at the end.
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 12: Does it look like he's holding on, like for one
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 12: more frame or click or tick longer than he needs to, Yeah,
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 12: I think there's.
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 9: A case for it.
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 12: And then the football kind of dives further away. But
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 12: that initial interaction with the receiver putting his hands on
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 12: the defensive back, Now I'm letting that debut grab that
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 12: arm a little bit, try to swim it away, and
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 12: within that little blending of that next second or two, I'm.
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 9: A fan of leave that alone.
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 12: Okay, not just on those plays, I would stay on
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 12: all plays. But then as you watch the end of it,
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 12: as I said, when you break these down, when we
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 12: watch these replays in such slow motion, after some of
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 12: those plays that occur within a second, you know, we're
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 12: dissected an awful lot of stuff that really I think
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 12: does look much more exaggerated than it probably felt or
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 12: happened in real time to a person on the field.
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 9: I was cool with it being left alone. That's again,
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 9: those are opinions.
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 3: Okay, all right, all right, good to hear it from you.
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 3: I mean, you know, I the thing about college is
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 3: that you don't have to put it at the one
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 3: yard line, like they would still have to completely like
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 3: a sixteen yard pass or something like that in order
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 3: to win the game. It kind of buys you a
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 3: little bit of a break if you wanted to call that.
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 3: So it doesn't feel like you, as the official, determined
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 3: the outcome of the game on a penalty. So but
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 3: it looked it looked pretty fierce to me. But you
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 3: know what, and Gene I trust so we're gonna go
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 3: with you. We're gonna go with you.
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 6: I like it.
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 9: For the next twenty minute.
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 3: I stepped back from the crime scene. Geene Is weighed in,
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 3: all right, Well, thank you, Sara. We appreciate. Where are
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 3: you going to be this weekend?
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 12: This week we found out late last night we'll be
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 12: in Denver for the Buffalo Bills, but OS will.
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 9: Be on the other three.
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 7: Man.
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 12: I mean, it's gonna be a great week in Seattle.
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 12: I know what that environment's like. I had the luxury
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 12: to work a couple of pretty big playoff games there,
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 12: and I am jealous because whoever and John Hussey and
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 12: that crew and the eighty thousand plus that will be there,
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 12: I am sure in for an amazing experience in a
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 12: great football game. So good luck everybody out that way,
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 12: and let's go with the stripes not being a story
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 12: again for another weekend, right, all.
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 3: Right, Well, we'll be watching, so have a great show
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 3: and we'll talk to you next week.
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 9: Thanks, guys, have a great week, all right.
• 1:05:03

• 1:05:20
  Speaker 3: ever it fits you on Sports Radio ninety three point
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 3: three KJRFM, joining us now on the Checking Back Radio program,
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 3: as he does every Tuesday at this time, Radio star,
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 3: television star. Hell, if he wasn't so busy with his
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 3: hockey schedule, I'm pretty sure he would have been there
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 3: at the Golden Globes earlier. This probably you know, either
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 3: accepting award or handing one out.
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 7: I mean, he's just.
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 3: A man of the people, very multi talented, he's everywhere.
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 5: There's really nothing he can't do in anything that he
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 5: does do. Hell's he basically is my idol.
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah, evert fits you is with us here. No stage
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 3: too big for this man. Good morning, sir.
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 13: You know, just trying to give the people what they want,
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 13: what they clamor for.
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 3: It's that kind of touch that you have with your
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 3: fan base that really does set you apart.
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 9: Yep.
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Well, great to hear from you, and nice to
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 3: start that road trip. I mean, you've lost to in
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 3: a row, You're down two to nothing, you're in New
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 3: York and the fans are nasty, and you come back
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 3: with four straight goals and win that thing last night.
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 3: How big did it feel not to let this losing
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 3: streak turn into something more to start this road trip?
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 13: Well, you know that that game against against the Rangers,
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 13: you need it, you needed a bounce back. Last night
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 13: was all about the response. And you're right. You couldn't
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 13: let that you know, ten game point streak that you
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 13: were on eight h to two spiral into something worse.
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 13: And they did a really good job of that. They
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 13: got themselves into a too nothing hole, they were able
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 13: to climb out of it, and you don't want to
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 13: make a habit of doing that. But the Kraken showed
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 13: that they could make those adjustments. In the second period.
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 13: I mean Berkeley Chatton getting his fourth goal in as
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 13: many games. You know, it was started by a great
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 13: play from Matty Veneers earlier in that period as well.
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 13: All he's told in him Jordan every getting goals in
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 13: the second period. So I think for Seattle, the bounce back,
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 13: the response is exactly what they needed. They got back
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 13: to playing their brand of hockey. And that's what good
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 13: teams do, That's what playoff teams do. They nip those
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 13: kids in the bud. They don't let things spiral out
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 13: of control. And looking back at that game last night
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 13: against the Rangers, I remember having some conversation, you know,
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 13: with some players earlier in the year about Lane Lambert
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 13: in the style and the success that they were having
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 13: early in the season, and a couple of them told me,
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 13: you know, it was refreshing to play because you go
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 13: back last year, last couple of years, we're down to
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 13: nothing of the Rangers that becomes for nothing pretty quick.
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 13: We let things spiral out of control. We're not doing
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 13: that this year. And the guys that told me like
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 13: it's been refreshing, and it's nothing against you know, the
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 13: other coaches in the previous regimes, but just the way
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 13: that this style and Lane Lambert is coaching this team,
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 13: you're not seeing things spiral the way that they have
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 13: in recent years.
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 5: I'm with you. I mean, you said a couple of years.
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 5: It feels like maybe even a couple of months ago,
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 5: they maybe wouldn't have won that game. And so you're
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 5: talking about the adjustments obviously that Lane Lambert and his
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 5: staff make and then the guys go going out there
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 5: and doing it on the ice. What exactly are those
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 5: changes the differences that you're seeing right now out of
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 5: this cracking team versus what was going on maybe earlier
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 5: in the season during spurts and previously.
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 13: I think for Seattle, the number one thing is, regardless
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 13: of if you're not getting opportunities offensively, regardless if you're
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 13: not scoring, you're going to defend. You're going to defend,
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 13: You're going to push guys to the outside, You're going
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 13: to limit those high danger chances. Your goaltending needs to
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 13: be a stellar and it has been all year long.
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 13: Those are those foundational principles. I asked Lane Lambert the
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 13: other day, what's been going right on this tennuh time,
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 13: the ten game points streak, and he said, well, we're
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 13: scoring goals. Defensively, we've not changed a lot. You go again,
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 13: you look at that the last what twelve games, the
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 13: Kraken have allowed two or fewer goals in nine of
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 13: those twelve games, and they've scored three or more goals
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 13: in eight of those twelve games. So the offense is coming.
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 13: The defense has always been there, but that's been that's
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 13: been the key, Bucky. Regardless of what you're doing offensively,
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 13: we're gonna limit their chances. We're gonna push them to
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 13: the outside. We're not gonna give up any shots. Any
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 13: grade a's high dangers in the house, which is that
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 13: area from the hash marks in in the circles. So
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 13: we're not going to be giving up those opportunities. And
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 13: as long as you stick to that, you're going to
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 13: be successful. And that's what we're seeing this last month
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 13: of the first month of the new year.
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 3: The voice of your Seattle Cracking is whether us Averett
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 3: fits you is with us right here on Chuck and
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 3: Buck in the mornings. I thought the kids really kind
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 3: of carried the day during that winning streak, you know,
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 3: Catton and Milanson and Myers and Winterton. Not that they
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 3: were the best players on the ice for the kracking,
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 3: but they gave them something different, maybe that they were missing,
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 3: maybe that the opponents hadn't had the opportunity to prepare for.
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 3: And now you lose a couple of games, and it
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 3: sure is nice to get the veterans back. The Schwartz
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 3: is back in the lineup and hopefully montor soon and
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 3: Aberly's playing great, so a great time to kind of
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 3: get the vet's back off the off the shelf, as
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 3: maybe the league was starting to figure out these young
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 3: kids and the spark that they were providing.
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 13: Yeah, and you know what, though, I felt like in
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 13: you're right, individually, maybe they weren't the best, you know,
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 13: players on the ice, but I thought collectively that Winterton,
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 13: Myers and Malanson line, what they brought, the energy and
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 13: the identity that they have brought to this team is
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 13: something I think that's been missing. And you're right, getting
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 13: Montour back, he's in New York with us. He was
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 13: skating yesterday at morning skates, so we'll see what that
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 13: means in a non contact jersey. Typically when you get
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 13: guys in non contact jerseys, and in my experience, you
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 13: got about three to four days of practices. So they'll
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 13: skate today, they probably won't skate tomorrow at montour may
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 13: go over and get a couple turns in. Maybe he
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 13: comes back for Boston or Utah. Stevenson's back on the
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 13: ground after the birth of his third child, so he
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 13: should be back in the lineup tomorrow in New Jersey
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 13: against the Devils. But you're right, you're getting where I
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 13: think the last couple of games the Kraton have missed.
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 13: Step has been their puck management. There's been far too
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 13: many turnovers, especially in that Carolina game. Seattle had a
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 13: chance to at least get a point out of that
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 13: Carolina game and they couldn't do it because of some
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 13: costing turnovers. Chandler Stevenson manages that puck better. He's not
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 13: going to give that buck up. Getting Jordan Everley last
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 13: night back against the Rangers, you saw that calming presence
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 13: that he can bring. So I think the way the
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 13: lineup has constructed. The last week has been paying off.
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 13: And you're right, the kids have been phenomenal. Berkeley Catton
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 13: four goals his last four games, Malonson the physicality that
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 13: he breaks, Ryan Winterton, Ben Myers being able to contribute
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 13: as well. But it's going to be nice to get
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 13: your full roster back. And I'll tell you what. The
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 13: Kracking are entering uncharted territory Seattle now is going into
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 13: game what is this game forty five coming up tomorrow
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 13: against the Devils. They have not had an entirely healthy
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 13: roster all year long, and it's gonna be a few
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 13: more games until Montor and Stevenson and maybe Matt Murray
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 13: get back. But maybe around game fifty the Kracking are
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 13: going to be for the first time fully healthy all season.
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 9: Well.
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 3: I don't want to be the person that corrects your math,
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 3: but I believe if you include Chandler's oldest son, Berkeley,
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 3: that's four children that I have.
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 9: Yeah, I got four.
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 13: I forgot his old nineteen year old recently adopted son Berkeley.
• 1:14:02
  Speaker 13: That's right, Which, by the way, real quick, I absolutely
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 13: love that story. Right more, this should happen more often
• 1:14:10
  Speaker 13: for folks who don't know Berkeley Catton Campra Stevenson took
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 13: in Berkeley Catton to live with him and his wife
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 13: and his kids, and he is getting the benefit of
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 13: being around a hometown kid, sketchwood kid. They both grew
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 13: up in the same place. You're living with a two
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 13: time Cup winning NHL event who can show you the
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 13: ropes how to be a pro. You get a bed
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 13: that's not a hotel bed. You get a meal, hot meal,
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 13: home cooked meals every day. You cannot under undervalue and
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 13: under sell the importance of that. Sidney Crosby when he
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 13: first got in the league, he lived with Mario Lemieux
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 13: in Pittsburgh. Matholm Celebrini is living with Patrick Barlow and
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 13: Joe Fulton in San Jose. There is something to be
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 13: said about that, and the fact that Stevenson said, yeah,
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 13: come live with me, Come learn what it's like to
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 13: be a pro that does not get talked about or
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 13: commended enough.
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 3: And you're responsible for the pool and the landscaping.
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 7: Yep.
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 13: Quite funny because Stevens and said he was like, uh,
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 13: he was asked, you know, what's what was the reason
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 13: behind having cat and liberty. He goes, oh, babysitting for sure. Right, Yes,
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 13: he's gonna watch the kids and you know, do the
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 13: chores around the house and the Yeah, but also the
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 13: pool and the landscaping. I want those I want those
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 13: lawn edges to be crisp, all.
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 3: Right, sharp, Yeah, I want some scissorhands shrubbery. I want
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 3: like a dinosaur in the backyard. That's what I want.
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 3: Thirty seconds New Jersey tomorrow. Give us a little preview.
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 13: Well, like the Rangers, they're going in the wrong direction
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 13: and they've been trying to turn things around. This is
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 13: a game that you know, Seattle, I'm not gonna say
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 13: it must win, but but it probably should win. This
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 13: is a team that you should be uh sitting at
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 13: seventh right now, out of the wildcard spot in the
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 13: in the West. So they're three six and one in
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 13: their last ten games, but they are going in the
• 1:16:08
  Speaker 13: wrong direction. The crack and capitalize on that smaw.

  Speaker 6: new retegades.
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 3: Okay, and I saw you got your quarterback. How we're
• 1:18:28
  Speaker 3: feeling Yeah, I'm feeling good.
• 1:18:31
  Speaker 6: We got a couple of kids. The leading pastor in
• 1:18:34
  Speaker 6: the league, this kid, Lewis Perez is going to be
• 1:18:38
  Speaker 6: with us. And then I'm also got the kid who

• 1:18:44
  Speaker 6: two Austin Red from Western Kentucky. So I'm excited about
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 6: coaching both those guys.
• 1:18:48
  Speaker 9: Good.
• 1:18:49
  Speaker 3: So when is the draft go down? What time?
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 6: One o'clock Central and the Dallas Renegades around the clock.
• 1:18:56
  Speaker 6: I think we're starting with offensive linemen, so I get
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 6: to choose an offensive lineman that's going to protect those
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 6: fine lads and take us to places hereto for unknown
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 6: glory land if you will.
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 3: Okay, great, I love this is happening in my.
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 6: Story, and I'm thicking to it.
• 1:19:15
  Speaker 3: I mean, you're on the clock, you're picking less than
• 1:19:18
  Speaker 3: two hours, and you're taking time for you know, Ashley,
• 1:19:21
  Speaker 3: Bucky and me, we relieve that.
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 6: Means multitasker deluxe. Let me tell you.
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 3: You're putting your tie on right now, aren't you? As
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 3: we speak. I can tell my.
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 6: Renegade gear is being placed on my body at this time. Yes,
• 1:19:34
  Speaker 6: that's accurate.
• 1:19:36
  Speaker 3: All right. Rick new Iael with us here on Draft Day,
• 1:19:40
  Speaker 3: chucking Buck in the Morning, Sports Radio ninety three point
• 1:19:42
  Speaker 3: three kJ r f M. My goodness, this Indiana story
• 1:19:46
  Speaker 3: just keeps getting better and richer, and they just keep
• 1:19:50
  Speaker 3: looking more and more dominant as every game goes by.
• 1:19:55
  Speaker 3: Does Miami stand a chance? I mean, they just look
• 1:19:57
  Speaker 3: like a machine right now. I don't know if anybody
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 3: can come within ten points of the Indiana Hoosiers.
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 6: It is really astounding to fathom what we're watching. Do
• 1:20:09
  Speaker 6: you realize since the turn of the century, everybody remembers
• 1:20:13
  Speaker 6: why two k Indiana has had twenty one losing seasons
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 6: in this century, twenty one out of twenty out of
• 1:20:25
  Speaker 6: twenty five losing seasons, and yet here they are the
• 1:20:30
  Speaker 6: undisputed number one team in the land and not even close.
• 1:20:34
  Speaker 6: They're laying waste to their opponents. And I mean the
• 1:20:38
  Speaker 6: quarterback in two college football playoff games, you know, the
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 6: best in terms of a competition is thirty one of
• 1:20:48
  Speaker 6: thirty six and eight touchdowns.
• 1:20:52
  Speaker 12: A few one of thirty six with eight touchdowns.
• 1:20:56
  Speaker 6: They are twenty to twenty eight on third down conversions,
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 6: they are and four hundred yards rushing in the two games.
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 6: I mean, they're just mauling people.
• 1:21:07
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean it's pretty impressive, but I mean, I'd
• 1:21:10
  Speaker 5: love to get your take on this. I mean, I
• 1:21:12
  Speaker 5: hear people for some reason, and don't get me wrong,
• 1:21:15
  Speaker 5: I mean Mendos is a bit goofy in some of
• 1:21:17
  Speaker 5: his interviews and whatnot, but I mean, the way in
• 1:21:19
  Speaker 5: which he plays quarterback is pretty impressive. And yet I'll
• 1:21:23
  Speaker 5: hear people, you know, call him like a game managers
• 1:21:26
  Speaker 5: if that's like a bad thing, because I don't really
• 1:21:28
  Speaker 5: understand it. When you're watching this guy play, what's your
• 1:21:32
  Speaker 5: scouting report on him?
• 1:21:35
  Speaker 6: Clearly he has the keys to the car, which means
• 1:21:38
  Speaker 6: that he's been given the freedom to change plays, and
• 1:21:42
  Speaker 6: he's got an incredible acumen for the game. I mean,
• 1:21:45
  Speaker 6: when you list what he studied at cal is molecular
• 1:21:49
  Speaker 6: engineering and calculus and football at his core. Assuming that
• 1:21:54
  Speaker 6: everybody's equal talent is mass and so what he sees
• 1:21:59
  Speaker 6: his angles advantage and as places in the geometry game
• 1:22:04
  Speaker 6: of eleven on eleven and you're looking for advantages when
• 1:22:08
  Speaker 6: you put people in motion and you shift and create formations.
• 1:22:12
  Speaker 6: He sees all that, and so he's able in the
• 1:22:15
  Speaker 6: forty second shot clock to get the next play run
• 1:22:18
  Speaker 6: in a downhill fashion where you have an angles advantage,
• 1:22:21
  Speaker 6: and he puts the ball in places where you have
• 1:22:24
  Speaker 6: an angles advantage. The world of the back shoulder throw
• 1:22:28
  Speaker 6: doesn't care where the defender is as long as you
• 1:22:32
  Speaker 6: can put it where the defender can't humanly make a play,
• 1:22:35
  Speaker 6: and you've got a talent enough receiver to adjust his
• 1:22:38
  Speaker 6: hips and put his hips and make the play on
• 1:22:40
  Speaker 6: the outside shoulder, as sarat Eliza Suratt has been able
• 1:22:43
  Speaker 6: to do over and over again, or Becker has been
• 1:22:45
  Speaker 6: able to do over and over again, Omark Cooper. He
• 1:22:49
  Speaker 6: puts the ball where only they can get it, and
• 1:22:52
  Speaker 6: to see it is one thing, and then to actually
• 1:22:54
  Speaker 6: have the gifts to throw it and put it there,
• 1:22:58
  Speaker 6: it's been remarkable. I mean, it is as good a
• 1:23:01
  Speaker 6: football as we've seen in recent memory. It's not just
• 1:23:05
  Speaker 6: overpowering people because you're bigger than they are. It's beautiful
• 1:23:09
  Speaker 6: football being played, and it's at a place that no
• 1:23:12
  Speaker 6: one could have imagined. This program started the season as
• 1:23:15
  Speaker 6: the losing this program in the history of college football,
• 1:23:18
  Speaker 6: and now they look like one of the best teams
• 1:23:20
  Speaker 6: that's ever played the game.
• 1:23:23
  Speaker 3: So if Miami has a shot Monday night, how does
• 1:23:27
  Speaker 3: that happen?
• 1:23:29
  Speaker 6: They got to be able to run the ball and
• 1:23:30
  Speaker 6: play their own version of Indiana football. They've got to
• 1:23:33
  Speaker 6: be able to Fletcher has been fantastic, and look they
• 1:23:37
  Speaker 6: controlled the ball against Ole Miss for forty two minutes.
• 1:23:40
  Speaker 6: When you have the ball for forty two minutes, that
• 1:23:42
  Speaker 6: game should never have been close. They dropped four interceptions,
• 1:23:46
  Speaker 6: they had ten penalties that cost them possessions and points.
• 1:23:51
  Speaker 6: They can't play like that. If they play clean and efficiently,
• 1:23:56
  Speaker 6: you know, taking that term from Indiana, then they can
• 1:24:00
  Speaker 6: hang in there because they're physical enough on both lines
• 1:24:02
  Speaker 6: of scrimmage to hang in there with Indiana. The question
• 1:24:05
  Speaker 6: is can they be as efficient as Indiana.
• 1:24:10
  Speaker 3: Rick new Isil is with us our college football insider,
• 1:24:12
  Speaker 3: brought to you by Taco Tom getting ready for is
• 1:24:15
  Speaker 3: UFL draft here in about an hour and forty minutes,
• 1:24:18
  Speaker 3: and so he's talking some college football with us. I'm
• 1:24:22
  Speaker 3: sure a lot of people listening to us right now
• 1:24:24
  Speaker 3: here in Seattle cannot wait to hear Rick new ISIL's
• 1:24:28
  Speaker 3: thoughts on the demand Williams Junior week that we just
• 1:24:31
  Speaker 3: experienced up here. That was some crazy stuff. Coach, What
• 1:24:35
  Speaker 3: were you making of it as you followed it from Afar?
• 1:24:39
  Speaker 6: Well, you guys were just the epicenter of what's going
• 1:24:41
  Speaker 6: on in college football for about thirty six hours. I mean,
• 1:24:46
  Speaker 6: that's basically what happened. So Deman Williams signs an unbelievably
• 1:24:51
  Speaker 6: lucrative deal given the history of the game. He's going
• 1:24:54
  Speaker 6: to make over four million dollars to be the quarterback
• 1:24:56
  Speaker 6: at Washington. He's adored by everybody there. What could be
• 1:25:00
  Speaker 6: better for a twenty year old kid, twenty one year
• 1:25:02
  Speaker 6: old kid to have that opportunity. I'll tell you what
• 1:25:06
  Speaker 6: could be better? Lane Kiffen calls you and says I
• 1:25:08
  Speaker 6: can offer you six million, and like many youngsters stars
• 1:25:13
  Speaker 6: in their eye, he bought in and he said, I'm
• 1:25:17
  Speaker 6: going to do it. I'll go be the six million
• 1:25:19
  Speaker 6: dollar man like Lee Majors rather than the four million
• 1:25:23
  Speaker 6: dollar man. And in you know, not thinking it all
• 1:25:27
  Speaker 6: the way through, whether you know what it was going
• 1:25:28
  Speaker 6: to do to, you know, his reputation, and then certainly
• 1:25:32
  Speaker 6: not thinking the legalities of a contract. You know, where
• 1:25:35
  Speaker 6: there's offer and acceptance and consideration that usually forms something
• 1:25:39
  Speaker 6: and when you break it there there are consequences. So
• 1:25:43
  Speaker 6: he didn't realize all that. He certainly came to the
• 1:25:47
  Speaker 6: conclusion that this was not a good idea of Jedfish
• 1:25:50
  Speaker 6: obviously helping him come to that conclusion and also realizing
• 1:25:54
  Speaker 6: I'm not going to get out of this contract. There's
• 1:25:56
  Speaker 6: going to be some real damage done to me. I
• 1:25:58
  Speaker 6: better jump back into the ship if I can, and Jed,
• 1:26:02
  Speaker 6: I think, will steer that ship beautifully and get Husky
• 1:26:05
  Speaker 6: fans to forgive if that's possible. But I think once
• 1:26:09
  Speaker 6: he throws about a four touchdown game and says he's
• 1:26:12
  Speaker 6: sorry a bunch of times, there'll be some measure of forgiveness.
• 1:26:16
  Speaker 9: I'm with you.
• 1:26:16
  Speaker 5: I think that there's a bunch of times where you
• 1:26:19
  Speaker 5: maybe don't like somebody, whether it's character or decision making
• 1:26:22
  Speaker 5: or something, and yet if they help your team win,
• 1:26:24
  Speaker 5: then people get over it real quick. Inside the locker room. However,
• 1:26:28
  Speaker 5: I mean, I can see why Jed Fisher is like, no,
• 1:26:31
  Speaker 5: I want Demon Williams back. He's one of the best
• 1:26:33
  Speaker 5: returning quarterbacks in the country. Will smooth over the roughness
• 1:26:39
  Speaker 5: that it is created. But on the flip side, I mean,
• 1:26:42
  Speaker 5: you have a bunch of guys who found out about
• 1:26:44
  Speaker 5: it while at Mia Hammont's memorial service, right, and that
• 1:26:47
  Speaker 5: obviously was the uglier and really unfortunate part of his
• 1:26:52
  Speaker 5: timing or poor timing when he did this and made
• 1:26:55
  Speaker 5: this mistake. So what does it do inside the locker
• 1:26:59
  Speaker 5: room or are today's athletes all in the mode of, hey,
• 1:27:02
  Speaker 5: get your bag if you can get more money, we
• 1:27:04
  Speaker 5: don't care.
• 1:27:06
  Speaker 6: Well, there's some of that, but the timing was incredibly insensitive.
• 1:27:11
  Speaker 6: There's no other way to say it. And let me
• 1:27:14
  Speaker 6: offer my condolences as well. Yeah, the timing was horrible,
• 1:27:20
  Speaker 6: and I think demand needs a long look in the
• 1:27:23
  Speaker 6: mirror to realize. You know, while I'm young and I'm
• 1:27:28
  Speaker 6: allowed to make mistakes, I'm also being considered as the
• 1:27:32
  Speaker 6: leader of this team, and I've got to take more
• 1:27:36
  Speaker 6: time with my decision making, especially when it's as consequential
• 1:27:40
  Speaker 6: as this turned out to be. So hopefully it's a
• 1:27:44
  Speaker 6: lesson learned. Like I said, I think he's got jed
• 1:27:48
  Speaker 6: in his corner, which will help, you know, the public
• 1:27:51
  Speaker 6: perception of him. But he needs to go out and
• 1:27:55
  Speaker 6: earn the public's trust again himself and do some things
• 1:27:58
  Speaker 6: in the community that will help get that done if
• 1:28:01
  Speaker 6: he's got any wisdom at all.
• 1:28:03
  Speaker 3: So where are we then? How should we feel as
• 1:28:06
  Speaker 3: college football fans? All of us have purchased our ticket
• 1:28:10
  Speaker 3: aboard this nil adventure train that has taken us in
• 1:28:15
  Speaker 3: areas that we weren't expecting to see. Apparently some guardrails
• 1:28:19
  Speaker 3: were put up, and then we found out that those
• 1:28:22
  Speaker 3: guardrails actually can be effective. Demon Williams wasn't just allowed
• 1:28:26
  Speaker 3: to leave because he wanted to. There were going to
• 1:28:28
  Speaker 3: be consequences with that. And yet the entire incident was
• 1:28:32
  Speaker 3: another like national alarm going off all last week with
• 1:28:37
  Speaker 3: your right Seattle being at the center of it. So
• 1:28:40
  Speaker 3: what did we learn from this Demon Williams experience as
• 1:28:43
  Speaker 3: college football fans, good and bad as to where the
• 1:28:47
  Speaker 3: sport is with wrestling in il and how it's going
• 1:28:50
  Speaker 3: to behave going forward.
• 1:28:53
  Speaker 6: Well, to me, it's just another reminder that we have
• 1:28:58
  Speaker 6: a lot of work to do to put rules and regulations.
• 1:29:03
  Speaker 6: When money's involved, we can't just allow those teams that
• 1:29:09
  Speaker 6: have you know, oil tycoons to be at the head
• 1:29:13
  Speaker 6: of college football. We want. We like the idea of parody.
• 1:29:18
  Speaker 6: We like the idea that an Indiana can go from
• 1:29:20
  Speaker 6: worse to first. We like that storyline, and but we
• 1:29:27
  Speaker 6: can do better than this. And you know, every other
• 1:29:29
  Speaker 6: professional sports organization finds a way to collectively bargain and
• 1:29:35
  Speaker 6: create rules and the government to when you collectively bargain
• 1:29:39
  Speaker 6: then gives you some measure of antitrust protection so that
• 1:29:46
  Speaker 6: you're not going to get sued and sued again. The
• 1:29:48
  Speaker 6: NCAA has got a bad track record when it comes
• 1:29:51
  Speaker 6: to litigation, and so if we're going to do this,
• 1:29:54
  Speaker 6: we've got to go to the painstaking effort of bargaining
• 1:29:59
  Speaker 6: with the students and making sure they get their rightful
• 1:30:03
  Speaker 6: piece of the pie, and then build our infrastructure so
• 1:30:08
  Speaker 6: it makes sense financially for all the universities who are
• 1:30:10
  Speaker 6: enjoying having interclagiate athletics on campus. It's not complicated, it
• 1:30:15
  Speaker 6: fits hard and right now, those who have the power
• 1:30:19
  Speaker 6: don't want to relinquish it, and so that's why we're
• 1:30:22
  Speaker 6: having this tugle wark.
• 1:30:23
  Speaker 5: It feels like the blueprint to be successful in college
• 1:30:28
  Speaker 5: football right now is to go out and get obviously
• 1:30:31
  Speaker 5: experienced players. Now, it used to be that you played
• 1:30:33
  Speaker 5: your guys. If they were good enough to make you
• 1:30:35
  Speaker 5: know the team or get on the field, then you
• 1:30:37
  Speaker 5: played them and that's how they they got their experience.
• 1:30:40
  Speaker 5: And yet at the highest level, if you're trying to
• 1:30:42
  Speaker 5: compete for a national championship, we're watching you know, these
• 1:30:45
  Speaker 5: guys that are transfers that have played somewhere and they're
• 1:30:48
  Speaker 5: getting this experience. Is that just the way that everybody
• 1:30:51
  Speaker 5: has to do it? Where the idea of bringing somebody,
• 1:30:54
  Speaker 5: getting somebody out out of high school and you're just
• 1:30:57
  Speaker 5: going to kind of ride with them for a couple
• 1:30:58
  Speaker 5: of years and tell their they're.
• 1:31:00
  Speaker 9: Good and helping you be competitive.
• 1:31:02
  Speaker 5: Or are most teams that are going to try for
• 1:31:03
  Speaker 5: a national championship going to go out and try to
• 1:31:06
  Speaker 5: pluck somebody that's played somewhere else but you have a
• 1:31:08
  Speaker 5: better program.
• 1:31:10
  Speaker 6: Well, I think that's that's the paradigm right now. I
• 1:31:13
  Speaker 6: think what's happening is if you have an opportunity to
• 1:31:16
  Speaker 6: enhance your team by going and getting an experienced player,
• 1:31:21
  Speaker 6: you're going to do it to the detriment of those
• 1:31:24
  Speaker 6: who are developing. And because when you go and get
• 1:31:27
  Speaker 6: that player, that kid who was developing at that position
• 1:31:30
  Speaker 6: is sitting there going seeing a log jam towards playing time,
• 1:31:34
  Speaker 6: which means I got to press eject and go someplace
• 1:31:37
  Speaker 6: else where I can get playing time. And so we've
• 1:31:40
  Speaker 6: got a giant musical chairs game going on in college athletics.
• 1:31:44
  Speaker 6: I mean, we just watched Old Myths playing the semi finals,
• 1:31:47
  Speaker 6: and I'm looking at all their receivers and their quarterbacks
• 1:31:51
  Speaker 6: and their offense. I think seven, at least seven or
• 1:31:54
  Speaker 6: eight of their offensive players were transfers, and at least
• 1:31:58
  Speaker 6: that many on defense. If you're doing that constantly each
• 1:32:02
  Speaker 6: and every year, and having, as Jimbo Fisher calls him,
• 1:32:05
  Speaker 6: production meetings and sitting there going if he's unproductive, he's
• 1:32:09
  Speaker 6: got to go. We've completely disbanded from the educational piece
• 1:32:13
  Speaker 6: of this, where a kid's going to come and get
• 1:32:15
  Speaker 6: an education and then you know, hopefully help the football
• 1:32:18
  Speaker 6: team along the way. We've just decided we're a pro
• 1:32:21
  Speaker 6: operation and the education's gone by the wayside, which is
• 1:32:25
  Speaker 6: another reason we need to collectively bargain so that we
• 1:32:28
  Speaker 6: get rules about what happens to a transfer. Can you
• 1:32:31
  Speaker 6: really discard a player just because he hasn't played and
• 1:32:34
  Speaker 6: you because you want a better player, or should we
• 1:32:37
  Speaker 6: be able to pay a penalty, then that kid can
• 1:32:40
  Speaker 6: stay and have a scholarship the entire time. If you did,
• 1:32:43
  Speaker 6: that's the thing that to me, will put some put
• 1:32:46
  Speaker 6: some teeth in this wanderlust that go get something better. Right,
• 1:32:51
  Speaker 6: Marriages stop all the time because people want to go
• 1:32:53
  Speaker 6: get something better. The bottom line is, if you say
• 1:32:56
  Speaker 6: you're married, you should be married. Try to work your
• 1:32:58
  Speaker 6: way through it. Obviously, we know that that can you know,
• 1:33:02
  Speaker 6: people have to make decisions about their future and their
• 1:33:05
  Speaker 6: happiness and so forth. But eventually, like the contract between
• 1:33:09
  Speaker 6: Washington and Demand, the contract when a player chooses to
• 1:33:12
  Speaker 6: go to a school, to have some teeth in it.
• 1:33:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and I think if they do ever get to
• 1:33:17
  Speaker 3: that collective bargaining table and an agreement, there has to
• 1:33:20
  Speaker 3: be a Lane Kiffin clause in there. He won't stay
• 1:33:23
  Speaker 3: in a marriage, that's for sure. Rick new Eiel is
• 1:33:25
  Speaker 3: with us. I do want to ask you, just quickly
• 1:33:27
  Speaker 3: about the Oregon situation. Is there any other way to
• 1:33:30
  Speaker 3: read into Dylan Ryola the single white mahomes going to Oregon.
• 1:33:36
  Speaker 3: I mean, he's obviously gotten the information that Moore's going
• 1:33:39
  Speaker 3: pro and he's replacing. I can't imagine he's going there
• 1:33:43
  Speaker 3: with any other assurance. I don't think he's going to
• 1:33:46
  Speaker 3: be a backup in Eugene.
• 1:33:49
  Speaker 6: Well, depending on what the compensation is. Listen, Dante Moore
• 1:33:54
  Speaker 6: benefited greatly by having a year watching Dylan Gabriel do
• 1:33:58
  Speaker 6: his deal, and if Dante Moore stays, Dylan Raiola would
• 1:34:02
  Speaker 6: benefit greatly watching Dante Moore play football and learning. From
• 1:34:07
  Speaker 6: a standpoint, do you realize Dylan Rayola has been at
• 1:34:10
  Speaker 6: three different high schools. Now he's going to be at
• 1:34:13
  Speaker 6: another university. Dylan Rayola needs to settle down and learn
• 1:34:17
  Speaker 6: the game. He is not a finished product, so it
• 1:34:20
  Speaker 6: would be wonderful if he could actually have an opportunity
• 1:34:24
  Speaker 6: to sit and watch Dante. I don't think it's going
• 1:34:26
  Speaker 6: to happen. I think Dante is going to be off
• 1:34:28
  Speaker 6: to the league, but it would be wonderful, just as
• 1:34:31
  Speaker 6: it was for Dante to watch Dylan Gabriel.
• 1:34:34
  Speaker 3: All right, well, we don't want to keep you any
• 1:34:36
  Speaker 3: longer than we already have. We know you got a
• 1:34:38
  Speaker 3: very busy day. You got to look your Dallas Renegade best.
• 1:34:41
  Speaker 3: So we appreciate you joining us here this morning and
• 1:34:45
  Speaker 3: enjoy the National Championship game. We'll recap it with you
• 1:34:49
  Speaker 3: next Tuesday.
• 1:34:51
  Speaker 6: I'm looking forward to it. We're taking the Indiana Hoosiers.
• 1:34:54
  Speaker 6: Lay the points, just.
• 1:34:56
  Speaker 12: Enjoy the surge.
• 1:34:57
  Speaker 6: It's been a perfect storm and case colored Bloomington Red.
• 1:35:03
  Speaker 3: Go Renegades, Go Renegade.
• 1:35:06
  Speaker 6: Thanks guy, see you.
• 1:35:07
  Speaker 3: All right, Rick new Eisel, Johnny us right here on
• 1:35:09
  Speaker 3: Chuck and Buck our College Football Insider. His segment brought
• 1:35:12
  Speaker 3: to you by Taco Time. Yeah, I just I don't
• 1:35:17
  Speaker 3: see any stopping them. I mean, I'm what on earth?
• 1:35:21
  Speaker 13: Who?
• 1:35:22
  Speaker 9: I don't know.
• 1:35:22
  Speaker 3: There's a maybe, like the you know, the Bills could
• 1:35:26
  Speaker 3: come within ten points of them.
• 1:35:29
  Speaker 8: Of the day, play at least the Jets and see
• 1:35:31
  Speaker 8: what happens.
• 1:35:33
  Speaker 7: All right.
• 1:35:33
  Speaker 3: They just look as like he said, they went from
• 1:35:36
  Speaker 3: the worst program in college football history and in two
• 1:35:39
  Speaker 3: years they look like one of the best individual teams
• 1:35:43
  Speaker 3: we've ever seen play the sport, don't. I don't think
• 1:35:46
  Speaker 3: Miami can come within ten of them. And I think
• 1:35:48
  Speaker 3: Miami's really good. I'm not surprised that Miami's in the
• 1:35:51
  Speaker 3: championship game. I think that's a really good team. I
• 1:35:54
  Speaker 3: think they're really well coached. I think they got a
• 1:35:56
  Speaker 3: lot of talent. And I think that Miami the U
• 1:35:59
  Speaker 3: is back on the college football scene and in very
• 1:36:02
  Speaker 3: oppressive fashion. It's just they don't. Nobody matches up with
• 1:36:07
  Speaker 3: this football team. Nobody's gonna beat come within ten points
• 1:36:10
  Speaker 3: of the Indiana Hoosiers. I don't care who it is
• 1:36:12
  Speaker 3: that would face off against.
• 1:36:13
  Speaker 9: Well.
• 1:36:14
  Speaker 5: I mean, they're getting better and so I mean, you know,
• 1:36:17
  Speaker 5: I mean, I hope that they beat Miami by one
• 1:36:19
  Speaker 5: hundred and seventy two points.
• 1:36:21
  Speaker 9: That would be great.
• 1:36:21
  Speaker 5: It make me feel better about the way in which
• 1:36:23
  Speaker 5: they destroyed my Ducks. But I mean, I think they're great,
• 1:36:26
  Speaker 5: and I think that what makes them great is something
• 1:36:29
  Speaker 5: that carries over regardless of who you're playing. They don't
• 1:36:31
  Speaker 5: seem like a moment's too big for him. Their quarterback
• 1:36:33
  Speaker 5: is one percent in control. They have playmakers on the outside.
• 1:36:37
  Speaker 5: They have two guys that can run the ball. Their
• 1:36:39
  Speaker 5: defense is pretty good, pretty good, and I think it'll
• 1:36:43
  Speaker 5: be enough to hold Miami down pretty good.
• 1:36:46
  Speaker 3: Their defense is great.
• 1:36:47
  Speaker 9: It's pretty good. I don't well, I mean it's I saw.
• 1:36:50
  Speaker 9: I mean I after.
• 1:36:51
  Speaker 5: The pick six to start the game against Oregon, then
• 1:36:54
  Speaker 5: they marched right down the field on them.
• 1:36:56
  Speaker 9: I mean march down the field on them.
• 1:36:58
  Speaker 5: And there has been times In the first time Oregon
• 1:37:00
  Speaker 5: and Indiana played that was a tight game. It ended
• 1:37:03
  Speaker 5: up being thirty to twenty, so they barely stayed within ten,
• 1:37:07
  Speaker 5: but it was it was tighter than that. It was,
• 1:37:09
  Speaker 5: it was closer than that. It was tied at one
• 1:37:10
  Speaker 5: point in time in the fourth quarter. So I do
• 1:37:12
  Speaker 5: think that there's a way in which you can do it.
• 1:37:15
  Speaker 5: But they're just not going to beat themselves. And I
• 1:37:17
  Speaker 5: don't think that there's very many college aged kids that
• 1:37:21
  Speaker 5: won't at one time or another make a mistake, whether
• 1:37:24
  Speaker 5: it's coughing the ball up or you know, making a
• 1:37:26
  Speaker 5: poor read or or whatever it is. They just don't
• 1:37:29
  Speaker 5: seem to They're just super sound. I mean, I hope
• 1:37:31
  Speaker 5: they beat them. I hope they whooped the heck out
• 1:37:32
  Speaker 5: of them. They are, They're unbelievable.
• 1:37:34
  Speaker 8: I think that's one of the things is how consistently
• 1:37:37
  Speaker 8: and how disciplined Indiana plays versus the amount of penalties
• 1:37:40
  Speaker 8: that Miami gets. Because Miami can beat themselves. I mean
• 1:37:42
  Speaker 8: they almost did against Ole Miss with their penalties.
• 1:37:45
  Speaker 3: They always played discipline, yeah, always. They allowed to eleven
• 1:37:49
  Speaker 3: points per game this year in the Big Ten Conference. Yeah,
• 1:37:53
  Speaker 3: that's the second best total in the entire They don't
• 1:37:56
  Speaker 3: have a weakness. Yeah, they're unbelievable. Just I mean right now.
• 1:38:01
  Speaker 3: I mean even that Charlie Becker has emerged as like
• 1:38:05
  Speaker 3: their best receiver. Yeah, by the end of the season.
• 1:38:08
  Speaker 3: They just keep getting better as they play. It's unreal.
• 1:38:13
  Speaker 3: So I'm expecting kind of a blowout, I really am,
• 1:38:17
  Speaker 3: I don't. I don't know how we could expect anything
• 1:38:20
  Speaker 3: differently the trajectory of this team right now, all right,
• 1:38:22
  Speaker 3: old Judge comes your way next Sports Radio ninety three
• 1:38:25
  Speaker 3: point three kJ R f M.
• 1:38:26
  Speaker 1: I kind of like Cornelia's buckhole.
• 1:38:29
  Speaker 3: Buck hole. It's a long line of buckholes he comes from. Yeah,
• 1:38:37
  Speaker 3: I don't like it.
• 1:38:39
  Speaker 9: I don't like it at all.
• 1:38:40
  Speaker 3: Well, it's not really your name. I just messed it up.
• 1:38:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you're good.
• 1:38:44
  Speaker 5: Might turn into my name, though it could morph. I
• 1:38:47
  Speaker 5: would imagine the old judges in court.
• 1:38:52
  Speaker 3: Ashley chose not to rise interesting to see shocker part,
• 1:38:56
  Speaker 3: and then even the court room reporter mispronounced his name.
• 1:38:59
  Speaker 3: So anyway, disrespect is real. The only person that did
• 1:39:04
  Speaker 3: his job today was our bailiff, Craig.
• 1:39:07
  Speaker 9: Yeah, Craig. It's a good dude.
• 1:39:08
  Speaker 3: Craig got us all right soon, all right, it's time
• 1:39:14
  Speaker 3: for the old Judge. Here's how this works. I'm just
• 1:39:16
  Speaker 3: going to bring up a few different topics on the show,
• 1:39:19
  Speaker 3: Ashley and I discussed him. Whenever the old Judge has
• 1:39:22
  Speaker 3: hurt enough, he slams his gabble gabble gabble gabble he
• 1:39:25
  Speaker 3: weighs in as we zip our lips, and then whatever
• 1:39:29
  Speaker 3: he says goes in his courtroom.
• 1:39:31
  Speaker 9: Yeah, I need to really concentrate. In twenty twenty six
• 1:39:34
  Speaker 9: on the zipping of the lip.
• 1:39:35
  Speaker 8: Oh, I was just thinking that when he said it,
• 1:39:37
  Speaker 8: I was like, I very rarely zip I know.
• 1:39:39
  Speaker 5: I know, And it's kind of like ordering the cord
• 1:39:42
  Speaker 5: up in this bait. It is a little bit all right,
• 1:39:45
  Speaker 5: Here we go, Craig, Craig. Yeah, Craig's got his cuffs ready.
• 1:39:50
  Speaker 5: He's cuff happy, CRUs Craig.
• 1:39:52
  Speaker 3: That's my kind of guy. Oh he's got an itchy
• 1:39:55
  Speaker 3: cuff finger.
• 1:39:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah he does.
• 1:39:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:39:58
  Speaker 1: Oh, you're breaking along, Craig.
• 1:40:00
  Speaker 3: Here we go. First one. The Seahawks need fifteen points Saturday.
• 1:40:07
  Speaker 3: That's it.
• 1:40:09
  Speaker 8: I mean, realistically, I would say, yes, that is all
• 1:40:13
  Speaker 8: they need. However, I think for the confidence of Seahawks
• 1:40:16
  Speaker 8: fans moving forward, not that that's what they're playing for,
• 1:40:19
  Speaker 8: but for the confidence of myself and other Seahawks fans,
• 1:40:22
  Speaker 8: I'd like to see them be able to score more
• 1:40:25
  Speaker 8: than fifteen points. I'd like to see the offense take
• 1:40:29
  Speaker 8: advantage of the opportunities in the red zone. I do,
• 1:40:32
  Speaker 8: I mean, we would have scored nineteen had Myers not
• 1:40:34
  Speaker 8: miss the field goals the last game.
• 1:40:36
  Speaker 1: So I think, I don't think you have.
• 1:40:38
  Speaker 8: To do a lot different, and I think you will
• 1:40:41
  Speaker 8: score more than fifteen points.
• 1:40:43
  Speaker 1: Does that make sense? But yes, I want more than fifteen.
• 1:40:46
  Speaker 3: You are more than fifteen. Okay, I don't think our
• 1:40:50
  Speaker 3: defense will give up more than fourteen points, but you
• 1:40:54
  Speaker 3: never know. With flukey turnover or a bounce of the
• 1:40:58
  Speaker 3: ball or a victual teams play.
• 1:41:01
  Speaker 1: You're leaving yourself no room for error.
• 1:41:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's that's a little uncomfortable. But maybe you do
• 1:41:06
  Speaker 3: need more than fifteen. But I can I can say
• 1:41:09
  Speaker 3: that the defense is not gonna need more than fifteen points.
• 1:41:12
  Speaker 5: Cavil, cavel Cavil. If you score fifteen, you lose. I think,
• 1:41:17
  Speaker 5: I don't think. I mean, I I can see how
• 1:41:19
  Speaker 5: this defense is dominant, but I just I mean, we
• 1:41:22
  Speaker 5: got to take the sample of what it is. So
• 1:41:25
  Speaker 5: you basically scored thirteen the first game and you lost.
• 1:41:27
  Speaker 5: You scored thirteen the second game and you won. You're
• 1:41:31
  Speaker 5: gonna need to do more than that offensively. I think
• 1:41:34
  Speaker 5: that the defense, while it's it was crazy dominant the
• 1:41:37
  Speaker 5: last time they played, and it was against the same
• 1:41:38
  Speaker 5: team that Shanahan's offense. I would think more that there's
• 1:41:44
  Speaker 5: a better chance that the offense looks somewhat closer to
• 1:41:47
  Speaker 5: what they looked like the last month and half of
• 1:41:49
  Speaker 5: the season than what they look like the last game
• 1:41:52
  Speaker 5: of the season. I would just think that there's now
• 1:41:54
  Speaker 5: I'm not saying that they're gonna go ou. I don't
• 1:41:55
  Speaker 5: think you're going out there and scoring thirty five like they.
• 1:41:58
  Speaker 3: That's what they looked like for the last month of the.
• 1:42:00
  Speaker 5: I'm saying it's going to look closer to that. Then
• 1:42:03
  Speaker 5: it's gonna look to score in three points. So I
• 1:42:05
  Speaker 5: would say, right there, three points or thirty five points,
• 1:42:08
  Speaker 5: I think it has to go. It's going to be
• 1:42:09
  Speaker 5: closer to the thirty five, not even near thirty five,
• 1:42:13
  Speaker 5: but it's gonna be over fifteen.
• 1:42:14
  Speaker 8: We've scored twenty six against them and they've scored right
• 1:42:19
  Speaker 8: or yeah, No, we s sixteen and they've scored twenty.
• 1:42:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah against them in those two games.
• 1:42:25
  Speaker 3: So I think I love scoring yeah, yeah, yeah, billion years.
• 1:42:28
  Speaker 8: But I'm saying even then, when our defense wasn't what
• 1:42:31
  Speaker 8: they are right now, we still only gave up seventeen points.
• 1:42:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Well, all right, next one. Season ending press conferences
• 1:42:38
  Speaker 3: are no place for compliments to losing coaches.
• 1:42:41
  Speaker 8: I do not understand why people are so bent out
• 1:42:44
  Speaker 8: of shape about this.
• 1:42:45
  Speaker 1: No, I don't. I don't agree that. I don't think it.
• 1:42:48
  Speaker 8: Is the place to be complementing the coach. I agree
• 1:42:50
  Speaker 8: with that much. But who gives a rats ass.
• 1:42:55
  Speaker 1: The woman did it? Move on? The people that are
• 1:42:58
  Speaker 1: making the bigger deal out of it sound like bigger
• 1:42:59
  Speaker 1: fool than she did.
• 1:43:01
  Speaker 3: Ah boy, those beat reporters, the guys that are on
• 1:43:04
  Speaker 3: the daily beat, boy, they really don't like that stuff.
• 1:43:07
  Speaker 3: So maybe this is a better question for Greg Bells
• 1:43:10
  Speaker 3: and Curtis Krabtrees and Bob Condotas of the world that
• 1:43:14
  Speaker 3: don't want their time wasted, especially in the playoffs when
• 1:43:17
  Speaker 3: you only have fifteen minutes. I think it was a
• 1:43:19
  Speaker 3: little embarrassing for Lynn Jones and Jacksonville. I think that
• 1:43:23
  Speaker 3: it was a bit cringey that moment for her in
• 1:43:26
  Speaker 3: her career. But I don't see any reason that it's
• 1:43:29
  Speaker 3: turned into some sort of national controversy.
• 1:43:33
  Speaker 1: That's what I can't figure out.
• 1:43:34
  Speaker 3: The anger needs to be snuffed out.
• 1:43:37
  Speaker 5: Gravel, cavel, gavel, Yeah, I mean I basically am on
• 1:43:40
  Speaker 5: the same page as you guys. I mean, I don't
• 1:43:43
  Speaker 5: see why it's even really like cringey or like looked
• 1:43:48
  Speaker 5: down upon, Like maybe it's not the place, but I
• 1:43:51
  Speaker 5: don't know where the place would be. Was it just
• 1:43:53
  Speaker 5: write an article afterwards? I don't know what's wrong with
• 1:43:55
  Speaker 5: just saying it to their face, Hey you did well,
• 1:43:57
  Speaker 5: you know, because ultimately Liam Kuhne did you know he's
• 1:44:02
  Speaker 5: coming back?
• 1:44:03
  Speaker 9: And so it's just kind of a sendoff.
• 1:44:05
  Speaker 5: It's not like people aren't going to ask all the
• 1:44:07
  Speaker 5: questions about the game, how you came up short and whatnot.
• 1:44:10
  Speaker 9: To me, I obviously have zero anger. If anything.
• 1:44:13
  Speaker 5: I'm like, it wouldn't be a bad thing if in
• 1:44:15
  Speaker 5: our world there was more compliments thrown around when there's
• 1:44:18
  Speaker 5: something to compliment.
• 1:44:19
  Speaker 3: Well, they are only fifteen minutes, that's you know. I
• 1:44:22
  Speaker 3: would imagine Liam would give more if but the ideas
• 1:44:25
  Speaker 3: you have fifteen minutes, and then you have national reporters
• 1:44:28
  Speaker 3: there as well, so the local guys to get their answers,
• 1:44:32
  Speaker 3: you know, they do, they get they are more crunched
• 1:44:35
  Speaker 3: for time in the postseason. Yeah, so you know, we
• 1:44:39
  Speaker 3: got all these national guys who are annoying us. And
• 1:44:42
  Speaker 3: now we've got one of our local beat writers that
• 1:44:44
  Speaker 3: is spending fifty eight seconds.
• 1:44:47
  Speaker 1: Not even a sports reporter. I don't think she is.
• 1:44:49
  Speaker 3: A sports reporter. I looked that up. She is a
• 1:44:51
  Speaker 3: sports reporter, but she just she spent a minute of
• 1:44:55
  Speaker 3: their precious time. Yeah, doing something that was not productive
• 1:45:01
  Speaker 3: for the rest of them. That's that's where the anger
• 1:45:03
  Speaker 3: comes from.
• 1:45:04
  Speaker 1: But it just was an overreaction to it.
• 1:45:06
  Speaker 8: It was like, oh, this shouldn't but this wasn't the
• 1:45:08
  Speaker 8: place that would have been fine, but they just went on.
• 1:45:11
  Speaker 1: I mean, it just seemed to have a life of
• 1:45:12
  Speaker 1: its own all right.
• 1:45:13
  Speaker 3: Next one, Dante Moore should stay at Oregon, if for
• 1:45:17
  Speaker 3: no other reason to avoid the risk of playing for
• 1:45:21
  Speaker 3: the Jets.
• 1:45:23
  Speaker 8: I mean, that's worth a lot of consideration. I think
• 1:45:28
  Speaker 8: you were gonna say he should stay at Oregon just
• 1:45:30
  Speaker 8: so Dylan Ryola can copy everything he does happen and
• 1:45:35
  Speaker 8: then he'll just find he really is. I mean, if
• 1:45:42
  Speaker 8: I was Dante Moore, unfortunately college football isn't this way anymore,
• 1:45:46
  Speaker 8: I would say, yeah, stay there because you're gonna get
• 1:45:48
  Speaker 8: some money, and you have it. You have a legit
• 1:45:50
  Speaker 8: shot at winning a national championship. You're a good quarterback,
• 1:45:53
  Speaker 8: you got a good team, you got a good coach.
• 1:45:56
  Speaker 8: I would want to go after that championship again. And
• 1:45:58
  Speaker 8: if I'm on the Jets, I have no chick.
• 1:46:00
  Speaker 3: I don't think there's as much like need for haste
• 1:46:04
  Speaker 3: to get to the National Football League. Number One, you're
• 1:46:06
  Speaker 3: making money now in the college rinks. You're making about
• 1:46:08
  Speaker 3: as much money as you did in the NFL ranks. Also,
• 1:46:12
  Speaker 3: we're finding out here recently the greatest trend is more
• 1:46:15
  Speaker 3: experience that you can get in college. It seems like
• 1:46:17
  Speaker 3: you have a more seamless transition into the NFL. So
• 1:46:21
  Speaker 3: I don't know why he's so hasty to get there.
• 1:46:24
  Speaker 3: I think he could really benefit from another reyear at Oregon.
• 1:46:29
  Speaker 3: But there's the little caveat to the entire story is
• 1:46:32
  Speaker 3: there is a huge ground swell of nobody wants to
• 1:46:37
  Speaker 3: play for the Jets, Like the word is out on
• 1:46:40
  Speaker 3: the Jets being a don't go their situation, Like agents
• 1:46:45
  Speaker 3: don't want their players, players don't want to go there.
• 1:46:48
  Speaker 3: The Jets are poisonous right now. And if that's where
• 1:46:52
  Speaker 3: Dante more, if that's his goal is to go number
• 1:46:55
  Speaker 3: two behind Mendoza, to the Jets. Then maybe a year
• 1:46:59
  Speaker 3: at Oregon, a national championship run and going number one
• 1:47:02
  Speaker 3: next year could be a better situation. Gabble, gavel gabble.
• 1:47:06
  Speaker 5: I want him to come back just simply because I
• 1:47:08
  Speaker 5: don't know for sure, what if I haven't watched Dylan
• 1:47:10
  Speaker 5: Rayola play a whole heck of a lot. I know
• 1:47:12
  Speaker 5: that he's got all of the intangibles, but i's just
• 1:47:15
  Speaker 5: the fact that you try to act like somebody else.
• 1:47:17
  Speaker 3: I don't have any He's got talent, but well that's.
• 1:47:21
  Speaker 5: What I mean, the talent of the arm strength, he's got,
• 1:47:24
  Speaker 5: the size, he looks like the prototypical quarterback and so good.
• 1:47:28
  Speaker 5: So anyways, I I would like him to come back
• 1:47:32
  Speaker 5: because I think that he actually needs to come back.
• 1:47:35
  Speaker 5: I don't think he's had enough experience that it showed
• 1:47:38
  Speaker 5: up the first play of the game. He just looked
• 1:47:41
  Speaker 5: like a bit of a deer in the headlights. I've
• 1:47:43
  Speaker 5: seen him. Whether it like the Penn State game, and
• 1:47:45
  Speaker 5: everyone wants to poopoo on that because they ended up
• 1:47:48
  Speaker 5: being poor, But that was not a bad team when
• 1:47:50
  Speaker 5: they played him and he the lights were bright, and
• 1:47:52
  Speaker 5: he played with poise and there was a couple of
• 1:47:55
  Speaker 5: times down the stretch of the season, he didn't. I
• 1:47:57
  Speaker 5: think another year would benefit him. And if he also
• 1:48:00
  Speaker 5: to avoid going to be a New York Jet, probably well,
• 1:48:03
  Speaker 5: you never know, they might still be the number one.
• 1:48:06
  Speaker 5: If you're the number one quarterback next year, and they
• 1:48:08
  Speaker 5: might still be the number one get the number one pick,
• 1:48:10
  Speaker 5: so you maybe it's impossible to avoid the Jets, But
• 1:48:13
  Speaker 5: I would probably just come back, just simply for the
• 1:48:15
  Speaker 5: fact I think it'd be better for your career.
• 1:48:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, all right, final one.
• 1:48:20
  Speaker 3: Maybe it's just me, but I don't think Softy is
• 1:48:24
  Speaker 3: more fired up for the Toyota than at Bury and
• 1:48:27
  Speaker 3: Toyota than he is for the NFL playoffs. But that
• 1:48:29
  Speaker 3: might just be man.
• 1:48:30
  Speaker 1: I don't think that's just you.
• 1:48:32
  Speaker 8: But I do think that Softy is a great liar
• 1:48:34
  Speaker 8: and a great endorser, and you know what he says
• 1:48:37
  Speaker 8: the things that he needs to say, and I.
• 1:48:39
  Speaker 1: Do think he's pretty fired up.
• 1:48:40
  Speaker 3: I think he's fired up for Toyota than but he's
• 1:48:43
  Speaker 3: not al as.
• 1:48:46
  Speaker 1: Fired up as he is.
• 1:48:47
  Speaker 5: I think that he is very fired up for the
• 1:48:50
  Speaker 5: Toyota thon, yes, but not even close to as fired
• 1:48:54
  Speaker 5: up as he is for the Seahawks playoffs.
• 1:48:56
  Speaker 1: There's no way.
• 1:48:57
  Speaker 9: I mean, I one time.
• 1:48:58
  Speaker 5: Said I love pajama grams, and I did. I don't,
• 1:49:03
  Speaker 5: I mean, go get him. If you do like pajamas,
• 1:49:05
  Speaker 5: I just can't wear them too hot, I am.
• 1:49:08
  Speaker 9: So you do what you got to do in this business,
• 1:49:10
  Speaker 9: and he did it.
• 1:49:11
  Speaker 8: I think Softy would spend the night at Toyota than
• 1:49:13
  Speaker 8: that's how excited and fired up he is. But SOFTI
• 1:49:17
  Speaker 8: would move into loom And Field and like camp out
• 1:49:19
  Speaker 8: on the grass all week long if he could.
• 1:49:22
  Speaker 3: I've been to Softy for a regular season game, yeah,
• 1:49:25
  Speaker 3: and I know how fired up he gets for that,
• 1:49:28
  Speaker 3: So I can't imagine how fired he gets he's gonna
• 1:49:32
  Speaker 3: jump out the post season game and for the playoffs.
• 1:49:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:49:35
  Speaker 3: If he's actually more excited about Toyota than, oh my gosh,
• 1:49:40
  Speaker 3: I don't even think that can be registered.
• 1:49:41
  Speaker 1: No Toyota is safe.
• 1:49:42
  Speaker 3: I don't think that level of excitement can be even registered.
• 1:49:46
  Speaker 9: So it's just.
• 1:49:46
  Speaker 3: Hard for me to believe that he can go there.
• 1:49:48
  Speaker 8: Well, yeah, I mean, it makes me think he'd just
• 1:49:51
  Speaker 8: go there and throw all the cars off the lot.
• 1:49:53
  Speaker 8: If they're having trouble parking him, he'd just pick him
• 1:49:56
  Speaker 8: up and heave him out. He's so excited that adrenaline's pumping.
• 1:49:58
  Speaker 3: Hard time buying it. That's all all I'm saying. All Right,
• 1:50:00
  Speaker 3: coming up next, one last thing on kJ R
