  Speaker 1: Here comes Seattle into the offensive zone of the high
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: slot as Winterton forced off the puck now turned over
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: it front backhead scos Freddie Gatrol forces the turnover, undresses
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: Calvin Pickard out in front, and the Seattle crackhead pulled
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: back to within one twenty seven seconds to play in
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: the first three to Edmonton.
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: Nice that to Evertt and Ashley found the silver lining
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: last night. There you go, Yeah, there you go.
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: That was it.
• 0:36
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that was pretty much it.
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: Your mc delivery of the game last night's top call
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: from the Crack and Audio Network, brought to you by McDonald's.

• 0:56
  Speaker 2: there's just kept scoring and scoring.
• 0:59
  Speaker 5: Yeah, wait till you the highlight in the ohow, it's
• 1:01
  Speaker 5: not as optimistic as that one was.
• 1:02
  Speaker 6: There wouldn't stop scoring. It was a lot wem make
• 1:07
  Speaker 6: them stop scoring. At nine to four the final score
• 1:12
  Speaker 6: last night. So the Kraken finally found some offense and
• 1:14
  Speaker 6: then they couldn't stop Edmonton from doing whatever they wanted.
• 1:17
  Speaker 6: Connor McDavid ended up with a hat trick. How did
• 1:20
  Speaker 6: he not end up with six goals last night out
• 1:23
  Speaker 6: of the nine? And so suddenly Lane Lambert's Kracking are
• 1:28
  Speaker 6: in the midst of their first serious slump of the
• 1:31
  Speaker 6: Lambert era. When they play defense, they can't score, and
• 1:37
  Speaker 6: then when they score, they can't top stop the other
• 1:39
  Speaker 6: team from scoring.
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: And so four straight losses for the Kracking. They haven't
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: scored on the power play in four games now, and
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: they fall into eleven, eight and six on the year.
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: They'll try to snap out of it tomorrow. They'll be
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: at home against the Detroit Red Wings at seven o'clock.
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: That's where we'll start our frost r cors Light Choose
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: Chill headlines here on a Friday, let's rip through some
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: other notes here. Of course, Selection Sunday coming up in
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: college football, so that will be the culmination of conference
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: championship week. In the college game, they're going to be
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: games tonight of significance, and there is a chance that
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: if James Madison wins over Troy tonight, they're goin to
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: be two group of five teams that make the tournament field.
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: The overcrowded tournament field where not all the worthy teams
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: can get into the twelve team field. There is a
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: chance that two group of five teams can get in
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: because if Duke beats Virginia tomorrow night, James Madison, North
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: Texas and Tulane all rank higher than Duke, so that
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: means ACC doesn't get in and two group of five
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: teams will get into the tournament field this year talk
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: about some controversy. Put it to hear that conversation on Monday.

  Speaker 7: fifty am tonight from Husky Stadium on.
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: Fun looking forward to it. I can tell you're looking
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: forward to it.
• 4:44
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I enjoy I did it last year with Chris Kidd.
• 4:46
  Speaker 7: I did the play by play last year when O'Dea
• 4:48
  Speaker 7: beat Bellevue, and I've officiated a couple of O Day
• 4:52
  Speaker 7: games this year. I'm familiar a little bit with them,
• 4:54
  Speaker 7: so yeah, it's yeah, it's fun. It's fun for the
• 4:57
  Speaker 7: kids to be in Husky Stadium. That they did it
• 4:59
  Speaker 7: right at WI credit Gen Cohen she got that done
• 5:02
  Speaker 7: before she left for USC, and many around college athletics
• 5:08
  Speaker 7: wanted those high school players to be on a bigger
• 5:10
  Speaker 7: stage than they were. Of course, they had moved out
• 5:12
  Speaker 7: of the Tacoma Dome for some rent and remodeling issues,
• 5:15
  Speaker 7: and then they played a couple of years done in
• 5:17
  Speaker 7: Puallup and various regular high school fields. But now at
• 5:22
  Speaker 7: Husky Stadium it feels like a big deal for those kids.
• 5:24
  Speaker 7: It's cool, all right.
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: So seven o'clock tonight it will be to Home Mount
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: to Homa versus Oday seven o'clock Greg and Mike on
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: the call, and then tomorrow night the four a state
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: championship sumner in Lake Stevens. It'll be Chris Kidd and
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: Dick Vane on the call tomorrow night as well. All right, well,
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: let's get in Seahawks Falcons. Well, a name that didn't
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: pop up yesterday in our roundtable and should have is
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: Julian Love. What's the update on him? I mean, is
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: he ready to play?
• 5:54
  Speaker 7: Well, they're me and Coy for competitive reasons. They don't
• 5:57
  Speaker 7: want the Falcons to know that the Pro Bowl safeties
• 5:59
  Speaker 7: back for the first since September. He said yesterday, there's
• 6:03
  Speaker 7: a plan. I don't know if I'm supposed to say this,
• 6:05
  Speaker 7: but there's a plan. He used the term ramp up,
• 6:07
  Speaker 7: which is the same term that Mike McDonald used. He's
• 6:11
  Speaker 7: back from he's been designated to return from injured reserve.
• 6:14
  Speaker 7: And how the NFL roles are now is that you
• 6:16
  Speaker 7: have twenty one days up to a max of twenty
• 6:19
  Speaker 7: one days to practice before they have to make a
• 6:21
  Speaker 7: roster decision on you. Love's not going to take it
• 6:23
  Speaker 7: all twenty one days. But he did have a setback
• 6:26
  Speaker 7: in late October when he tried to come back, and
• 6:28
  Speaker 7: it set him back a month. So they are being
• 6:29
  Speaker 7: somewhat of a ramp up caution with him. He's been
• 6:32
  Speaker 7: listed as a limited practice participant in the first two
• 6:35
  Speaker 7: days of practice. He's been back here Wednesday and Thursday,
• 6:39
  Speaker 7: whereas Jared Reid has also been designated return from injured
• 6:42
  Speaker 7: reserve has been a full practice participant coming off his
• 6:45
  Speaker 7: wrist surgery. So it would appear reading Tea leaves that
• 6:49
  Speaker 7: Jared Reid is closer to playing Sunday in Atlanta than
• 6:53
  Speaker 7: Julian Love. But the way Love is answered that yesterday
• 6:57
  Speaker 7: and how coy, I have a feeling that the plan
• 6:59
  Speaker 7: is that He's going to get activated and Jared Reed
• 7:02
  Speaker 7: will be both activated to play on Sunday in Atlanta.
• 7:05
  Speaker 7: They have two roster spots open on the active fifty three.
• 7:09
  Speaker 7: It would appear Red and Love are going to fill those.
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: Man getting Love back. I mean, I had Greg Bell
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: and Hugh Mellan yesterday spent ten minutes talking about they're
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: just now unlocking nick Emon Warri's abilities. DeMarcus Lawrence, at
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: age thirty three, might be playing the best football we've
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: seen in years, if not for his career. Ernest Jones
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: the perfect fit. I mean, this defense already looks very good.
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: Maybe even great. I mean, how much better could it
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: get in the last third of the season.
• 7:39
  Speaker 7: Yeah, it's not even mentioning. Leonard Williams and Byron Murphy
• 7:42
  Speaker 7: are co leading the team with sacks right now at six. Yeah,
• 7:45
  Speaker 7: Love coming back gives them another card to play. He
• 7:49
  Speaker 7: gives Mike McDonald's Pacific another card to play, another way
• 7:52
  Speaker 7: to play, different coverages, way to do a different arrange.
• 7:57
  Speaker 7: We call everyone on the roster and on we call
• 8:00
  Speaker 7: Nick and even worry of safety, but he's not. He's everything. He's,
• 8:04
  Speaker 7: as we mentioned, even a defensive end right now. So
• 8:07
  Speaker 7: Love's return doesn't really affect him because even whore it
• 8:11
  Speaker 7: doesn't play much in the back end. But tyle Katta
• 8:14
  Speaker 7: is the one who has emerged since Love has gotten hurt.
• 8:17
  Speaker 7: Who would stand to lose the most playing time if
• 8:19
  Speaker 7: Love comes back? And frankly, if you see how you
• 8:23
  Speaker 7: take that trade right, I'll take Jillian Love for tyer
• 8:25
  Speaker 7: Katta for the playoff run. So, yeah, good gets better
• 8:30
  Speaker 7: if Jillian Love can come back without a setback and
• 8:32
  Speaker 7: he can be full go his smarts. I mean, he
• 8:36
  Speaker 7: can diagnose plays before they happen. He's played every position
• 8:39
  Speaker 7: in the secondary he's been a corner with the Giants,
• 8:42
  Speaker 7: he's been a nickel, he's been a free safety of
• 8:44
  Speaker 7: strong safety. That really comes in handy when teams like
• 8:47
  Speaker 7: the Rams in the forty nine ers send all their
• 8:51
  Speaker 7: formations and their bunch groupings of receivers and misdirections at
• 8:56
  Speaker 7: the Jillian Love really would come in handy to be
• 8:58
  Speaker 7: back on the field for those games.
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: Greg Bell is with us our Sea Haawks insider, joining
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: us here on this Football Friday, getting you ready for
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: Seahawks Falcons on Sunday morning at ten o'clock from Atlanta, Georgia.
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: More on that in a moment. But I couldn't help
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: but notice that you wrote about something that I tried
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: my damnedest to get in on Monday's show.
• 9:19
  Speaker 4: But it we just there, just didn't seem to be
• 9:21
  Speaker 4: the window.
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: But Brandon Peeley got away with something football players normally
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: don't get away with.
• 9:29
  Speaker 4: Number one, he.
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: Stood up for his teammate by coming in and punching
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: another guy in the face. Number two, he got away
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: with it Scott Free and number three, the guy that
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: he hit got the fifteen yard penalty in the game.
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: And so I mean, everybody's looking for that free shot
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: against that guy that's playing dirty, and Brandon Peeley got it.
• 9:50
  Speaker 4: And I thought that it.
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: Was never going to actually get talked about or written
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: about until you wrote about it for the News Tribute.
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: What did you find out about that entire storeory line.
• 10:01
  Speaker 7: Well, this week he's been a full keyro Brandon Peely
• 10:03
  Speaker 7: has in his locker room. That's great that Leonard Williams
• 10:07
  Speaker 7: is offered to pay his fine if the NFL finds him,
• 10:10
  Speaker 7: and there's a good chance the NFL is going to
• 10:11
  Speaker 7: find Brandon Peely today. That's a seventy million dollar defensive
• 10:15
  Speaker 7: end offer the practice squad defensive tackle to pay to
• 10:18
  Speaker 7: pay his five the sideline. The reason I wrote about
• 10:22
  Speaker 7: it is I noticed through the binokas the sideline went
• 10:24
  Speaker 7: nuts when Peely came off the field at the end
• 10:27
  Speaker 7: of that series. For what he did. Josh Joe was
• 10:30
  Speaker 7: coming in to make a tackle at the end of
• 10:32
  Speaker 7: the running back seventeen yard run in the fourth quarter,
• 10:35
  Speaker 7: and Blake Brando, the guard for Minnesota head budded Josh
• 10:41
  Speaker 7: job as you're trying to get him as if you're
• 10:43
  Speaker 7: trying to get him off his running backs tackle just
• 10:47
  Speaker 7: head butted him face match to face mask. Jove, in fact,
• 10:51
  Speaker 7: got taken out by the NFL's concussion monitor from the
• 10:54
  Speaker 7: sideline and had to come out of the game to
• 10:56
  Speaker 7: be checked for concussion. He cleared a protocol, so he's okay.
• 11:00
  Speaker 7: But as soon as Peeley saw that, he ran another
• 11:02
  Speaker 7: ten yards behind the play, and you're right, he threw
• 11:05
  Speaker 7: a punch. It was a haymaker right hand, which is
• 11:09
  Speaker 7: not quite wise if he's got the other guy's got
• 11:12
  Speaker 7: a helmet on. But the inside of his arm met
• 11:16
  Speaker 7: his fist missed, but the force of his arm thrusting
• 11:19
  Speaker 7: hit the side of Branda's head and knocked his head back.
• 11:23
  Speaker 7: That should have been an ejection in the rules. If
• 11:25
  Speaker 7: you throw a punch, whether it lands or not, it's
• 11:27
  Speaker 7: an ejection. But they missed it. You're right. The flag
• 11:30
  Speaker 7: came to Peeley. I talked to him yesterday. He said, yeah,
• 11:33
  Speaker 7: I thought that flag was on me for sure. He's
• 11:36
  Speaker 7: also saying, why are you asking me in writing this,
• 11:38
  Speaker 7: because I don't want them to find me. Hopefully they
• 11:40
  Speaker 7: just forget about me. But he said that that's he
• 11:45
  Speaker 7: was sticking up for his guy, and he said, that's
• 11:47
  Speaker 7: the locker room culture they have built here. He said,
• 11:50
  Speaker 7: in the way he sees it, it's been twofold. The players,
• 11:53
  Speaker 7: the guys that they brought into that building, how they
• 11:56
  Speaker 7: are wired, and Mike McDonald's culture, how he feeds this brotherhood.
• 12:02
  Speaker 7: McDonald thinks the brotherhood aspect of this team, which Leonard
• 12:05
  Speaker 7: Williams and the Marcus Lawrence think is the reason this
• 12:08
  Speaker 7: is the best defense those two have ever played on
• 12:10
  Speaker 7: and they played twenty three combined years in the league.
• 12:13
  Speaker 7: But they think it started. They think that brotherhood is
• 12:16
  Speaker 7: the key to the Seahawks being nine to three and
• 12:17
  Speaker 7: haven't won the best defensive league. Mike McDonald thinks it
• 12:21
  Speaker 7: started back in April when and we talked about this
• 12:24
  Speaker 7: back then, Chuck that everyone one hundred percent of the
• 12:29
  Speaker 7: veterans showed up for the voluntary meetings, workouts, drills. That's
• 12:33
  Speaker 7: unheard of. Guys usually go to weddings, wives, have babies,
• 12:38
  Speaker 7: in the offseason, whatever, for kids' birthday party, any reason
• 12:41
  Speaker 7: they could figure out not to come to that stuff.
• 12:44
  Speaker 7: And if nobody bats an eye usually well one dred
• 12:46
  Speaker 7: percent of the Seahawks showed up for those and McDonald
• 12:49
  Speaker 7: at the time said, this is special. I know, I
• 12:51
  Speaker 7: don't normally get this, and coaches don't normally get this,
• 12:54
  Speaker 7: and McDonald has mentioned it a couple times. Is why
• 12:56
  Speaker 7: he thinks this team is tighter than any He's been
• 12:59
  Speaker 7: on the Ravens for ten years and Brandon Peely's act
• 13:03
  Speaker 7: was an example of that. We'll see if he gets fined.
• 13:07
  Speaker 7: Maybe didn't help his cause by writing about it so
• 13:09
  Speaker 7: everyone can read about it, but yeah, he's Brandon Peely
• 13:14
  Speaker 7: is a very popular guy. Asking well, what happened? What
• 13:16
  Speaker 7: were you thinking? Then he said, my brotherly instinct kicked in.
• 13:20
  Speaker 7: I said, oh, how many siblings you have? He said nine.
• 13:25
  Speaker 7: He's the oldest. He's the oldest of ten kids, and
• 13:29
  Speaker 7: they grew up in Anchorage, Alaska at some moment in
• 13:33
  Speaker 7: the Alaska Native American family explain everything, Yes, exactly, and
• 13:42
  Speaker 7: he's the oldest of ten. His youngest sisters four. Can
• 13:46
  Speaker 7: you imagine twenty six to four that family's ten kids.
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: Greg Bell with us R S the UX Insider, All right, well,
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: let's use our remaining times talk about this matchup with
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: the Atlanta Falcons. I mean, this is just this is
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: the last game on the schedule that you absolutely should
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: not lose, and so how could they possibly lose this
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: game against a floundering four and nine football team that
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: no doubt is playing its worst football right now.
• 14:12
  Speaker 7: Yeah, lost six of seven. Atlanta has lost their starting quarterback,
• 14:15
  Speaker 7: Michael Pennix, who we all know here in Seattle, and
• 14:18
  Speaker 7: that's usually the end of the season. And even though
• 14:20
  Speaker 7: it's a veteran Kirk Cousins, former eighty million dollar guy,
• 14:23
  Speaker 7: this is not how it's supposed to go. Drake Glennon,
• 14:26
  Speaker 7: their top receiver, hasn't practiced all week. He may not play,
• 14:29
  Speaker 7: which underlines the fact that it's Dejon Robinson all day
• 14:33
  Speaker 7: for Atlanta. The top running back, the number five running
• 14:36
  Speaker 7: back in the league, is going to be a thousand
• 14:38
  Speaker 7: yard rusher with five more yards on Sunday. If he
• 14:41
  Speaker 7: runs for one hundred hundred and fifty and the Seahawks
• 14:44
  Speaker 7: and Sam Darnold turn the ball over a few times,
• 14:47
  Speaker 7: they could lose this game. The Seahawks are not yet
• 14:50
  Speaker 7: to the point that they can just roll the ball
• 14:52
  Speaker 7: out and win. Sure, so that's the recipe, don't turn
• 14:56
  Speaker 7: the ball over. And so far this is the number
• 14:58
  Speaker 7: three NFL defense rush defense, and as I said, I
• 15:01
  Speaker 7: just don't think they've been tested all that much because
• 15:03
  Speaker 7: they've been leading like two touchdowns early in games. This
• 15:07
  Speaker 7: will be the test. Atlanta, even if they fall behind,
• 15:09
  Speaker 7: will continue to run stop Bijon Robinson, and you're going
• 15:14
  Speaker 7: to win. And you're right. This will be the last
• 15:16
  Speaker 7: game that this is like this. This is the last game.
• 15:19
  Speaker 7: The schedule gets tougher from here. Eight and four Colts
• 15:22
  Speaker 7: next week, then the Rams in the Big Battle Royal rematch,
• 15:25
  Speaker 7: then they go to Carolina, who is seven and six
• 15:28
  Speaker 7: in playoff contention, and then they end at San Francisco.
• 15:31
  Speaker 7: So must win in essense, you just don't want to
• 15:34
  Speaker 7: give this one away. The Rams came back to you
• 15:36
  Speaker 7: in the standings last week by losing in Carolina, which
• 15:40
  Speaker 7: evens the NFC West at nine to three. You want
• 15:42
  Speaker 7: to keep it that way until when Rams come up
• 15:44
  Speaker 7: here December eighteen.
• 15:45
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: I just can't imagine this defense. As great as Robinson is,
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: and he's great, and I don't overuse the word great,
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: he's a great player. I just can't imagine this defense
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: against one great running back is susceptible. I just can't
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: see that he.
• 16:00
  Speaker 7: Wouldn't think so. And eventually Kirk Cousin's going to have
• 16:03
  Speaker 7: to throw and the way the Seahawks have played this
• 16:06
  Speaker 7: defense this year because they've stopped the run so effectively,
• 16:08
  Speaker 7: those throwing situations have been third and long. So get
• 16:11
  Speaker 7: them in third and along again, and then Leonard Williams,
• 16:15
  Speaker 7: DeMarcus Lawrence, Byron Murphy. Blitz is here and there from
• 16:18
  Speaker 7: even worry and Weatherspoon can get to Cousins, who doesn't
• 16:21
  Speaker 7: nearly escape like the quarterbacks they faced recently, cam Ward
• 16:24
  Speaker 7: and others. Yeah, just don't let Robinson get going because
• 16:28
  Speaker 7: the Atlanta's definitely going to try that. Yeah. On the
• 16:31
  Speaker 7: flip side, we mentioned Minnesota is the number one blitz
• 16:35
  Speaker 7: team in the NFL. Number two is Atlanta, And we
• 16:37
  Speaker 7: talk about how many sacks of Seahawks have. They're on
• 16:40
  Speaker 7: pace for the second most in team history. They've got
• 16:42
  Speaker 7: forty right now. Atlanta has forty one, fourth third in
• 16:45
  Speaker 7: the league. In the Seattle's fourth. So pass protection again
• 16:49
  Speaker 7: is can they get the ball quickly? Look for shorter
• 16:52
  Speaker 7: routes from Smith and Jigbit than his usual twenty yard
• 16:55
  Speaker 7: in routes and he's been feasting on all season. Let's
• 16:58
  Speaker 7: see what adjustments they make to the blitz this time
• 17:00
  Speaker 7: compared to what the Vikings got him for four sacks
• 17:03
  Speaker 7: last week. That's a key because this copycat league, they're
• 17:06
  Speaker 7: going to see a lot of blitzing based on what
• 17:08
  Speaker 7: Minnesota did. Did that last All right.
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: Well, enjoy Atlanta, enjoy the game tonight. I'll get up
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: a box of Krispy Kremes when you're Atlanta.
• 17:16
  Speaker 4: You gotta do that.
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: And uh and we'll chat with you, hopefully on on Monday.
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: Hopefully you will be traveling. Uh and we miss you again.
• 17:24
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I think they might be. I gotta take those,
• 17:27
  Speaker 7: especially in December. Else delays, but yeah, no, it's gonna
• 17:31
  Speaker 7: be hopping the SEC title games going on right when
• 17:33
  Speaker 7: I land.
• 17:34
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, all right, we'll have that.
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: Enjoy We'll talk to him soon, all right, Greg bell
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: Our Seahawks inside of joining us right here on chuck
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: a buck in the morning, as he does almost every
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: single day. Thanks to Diamond excuse me, Coppola Diamond Prosecco.
• 17:50
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I got to get it in the right order.
• 17:52
  Speaker 4: Bring bubbles into the game.
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: Copola Diamond Collection Prosecco delivers bright, refreshing flavors of apple,
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: citrus and each to every celebration. Bubble up your playbook.
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: I mean, I've never said that in my life, and
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: I love that you did, and celebrate every win Game
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: Day Bubbles only with Coppola Diamond Prosecco coming up next.
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: It's Factor fiction, but it is a special sad factor fiction.
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM. We can't satisfy
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: all the fans out there with a twelve team format.
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: I don't want to expand it, though not yet. I'd
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: like to kick the tires on this twelve team format
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: for a little while longer. I'm just happy we have
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: a college football tournament for goodness sake, but it's not
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: going to stop the noise. Certainly, they're going to be
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: a couple of teams, more than a couple, that are
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: going to be left out of the playoff that look
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: like playoff teams. Have had playoff caliber seasons this year,
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: and that is unfortunate. But it doesn't matter how big
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: or sow small you make it, there's always going to
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: be a couple of people that have something to say,
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: have a case to be made that they belong into
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: the tournament. And I'm actually, even though I've been defending
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: the committee here as of late, I can't wait to
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: criticize them on Monday, really looking forward to it.
• 19:07
  Speaker 4: I hope they do.
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: Screw something up because that's great fodder for sports talk radio.
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: So we'll see, we'll see how it all unfolds. But
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: I will say this, this is the one loudest argument
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: that's being made and Rick new Isel, and everybody knows
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: how much I love Rick new Isel. He said this
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: earlier in the week. He said, you can't have Notre
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: Dame over Miami. Yeah, of course you can. I mean,
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: of course you can. I mean, I get it. I
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: even heard Bruce Feldman yesterday talking about this, and he's
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: so angry that how that the committee's just fallen asleep
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: on this, And he actually used the phrase, you can't
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: not value head to head, right, But it's not the
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: only thing, right. It's a when you have all of
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: these teams that have played twelve games and you only
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: have resumes to go.
• 20:07
  Speaker 4: Off of and a little bit of eye test.
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: Well, isn't there an argument to be made that even
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: though Notre Dame lost to Miami, they lost on the
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: last play of the game in the second game of
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: the year, and that that loss doesn't look as bad
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: as Miami losing to Louisville.
• 20:34
  Speaker 4: Is there an argument to be made there.
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: I mean, I know they played head to head and
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: Miami beat Notre Dame, but in terms of the overall
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: resume is and I don't want to defend Notre Dame.
• 20:44
  Speaker 4: I'm much rather.
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: I like Miami a lot more than Notre Dame.
• 20:47
  Speaker 5: I wouldn't say a lot more.
• 20:49
  Speaker 4: I do a lot more.
• 20:50
  Speaker 5: Yeah, but I hate Notre Dame.
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: But yeah, I don't ever want to see Notre Dame
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: have success. No, But just in defense of the thought
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: that Notre Dame could edge out Miami, I mean, if
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: you just took away the head to head and we're
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: not going to but if you took away the head
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: to head, it's no doubt. Notre Dame's two losses were
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: at the first two games of the year. They lost
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: on the last two plays of the game.
• 21:16
  Speaker 4: I believe.
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: They were both on the road against two teams that
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: are currently ranked seventh and tenth in America. Those are
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: not bad losses. Those are actually, you know, if there's
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: such a thing good losses. Miami's two losses won at
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: home against SMU where they got ran off the field,
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: and the other one was against Louisville, which is not
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: a bad team. But they're not in this picture, are they?
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: So you actually, Notre Dame's two losses look a lot
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: better than Miami's two losses, even though one of them
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: was against Miami. However, obviously the committee can't just ignore
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: the head to head matchup, and they won't. I mean,
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: there is a a I mean, pay attention. Notre Dame
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: keeps slipping the more the resumes, the full resumes are
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: coming together. Notre Dame keeps slipping down, and Miami keeps
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: slipping up, and they're kind of head to head right
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: now and neck to neck in trying to determine the
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: last spot in this playoff. And so if Miami got in, Man,
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: I get everybody's argument for Miami. I get everybody's argument
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: for the head to head victory that they have over
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: Notre Dame. But those people that are so angry about it,
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: Bruce Feldman, I wish you would have directed this anger
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: back to when we didn't have a tournament, made something happen, Right,
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: You're more angry about Notre Dame getting in over Miami
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: than you were that we didn't have a tournament to
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: begin with.
• 22:47
  Speaker 5: Yeah, that's just stupidity, is the Miami Alum.
• 22:51
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: I don't know that I have no idea, but I
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: mean Rick new Eisal said it too, and he certainly
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: doesn't have rooting interest one way or the other with
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: these two teams. But certainly there is a case that
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: the committee can make I test ten win game, winning streak,
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: all sorts of things. How Notre Dame gets in over Miami.
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: It's not like they got Notre Dame third. Yeah, Okay,
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: And I think there's a chance that both get in,
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: and I think there's a chance that both are out
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: before this is all said and done. It really hinges
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: on what Alabama does. I mean if BYU upsets Texas Tech,
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: does Notre Dame or Miami get in over Texas Tech
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: or two lost Texas Tech, I don't think that they will,
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: you know, because they lost their second game in the
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: conference championship round, Yeah, which Notre Dame in Miami didn't
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: even compete in.
• 23:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: I mean Miami plays in the worst of the Power
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: for conferences and didn't even get to the conference championship game.
• 23:56
  Speaker 4: Now, isn't that an element to consider?
• 23:59
  Speaker 5: I would think as you're.
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: Trying to like figure out how close these resumes are
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: to one another.
• 24:05
  Speaker 4: That has to be brought up in the conversation.
• 24:07
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I did answer the question though he did go
• 24:08
  Speaker 5: to University of Miami, which now makes sense about it.
• 24:12
  Speaker 4: Well, there you go.
• 24:13
  Speaker 5: It seems comes together.
• 24:14
  Speaker 4: It seems to be the root.
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: We talked about this yesterday. That seems to be the
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: route to all of the truly angry people. Look, we've
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: brought it around full circle.
• 24:21
  Speaker 7: Yes.
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he's a fan of Miami and he thinks that
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: they're getting screwed.
• 24:25
  Speaker 4: Well, you should be more professional than me.
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: And then there's the other thing to consider, and we'll
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: talk more about this in the Friday O Show. There
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: is a chance that two of the games that are
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: played tonight that two teams, the two winners of the
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: James Madison Troy game and the North Texas Tulane game,
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: are both getting in the tournament. If Duke upsets Virginia
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: tomorrow night, both of those team Because the rule is,
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: it's not the rule is not an acc team to
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: be represented. The rule is five conference champions have to
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: be represented in the tournament. If both James Madison and
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: let's say North Texas over Tulane. But you could flip
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: flob them if they win tonight. They were both ranked
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: ahead of Duke Sunday or Tuesday, so they're probably Dukes
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: lost five games, an eight and five. Duke's not gonna
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: jump either of these teams in the standings, which means
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: the ACC is completely out potentially, and both James Madison
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: and Tulane I'll use the other example this time, both
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: get in. So if you want to talk about noise,
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: oh wait till the anger. If that happens with a
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: Texas and a Vanderbilt and a Miami on the outside
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: looking in and potentially, you know, an Alabama if they
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: lose to Georgia on the outside looking in, and we're
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: putting two group of five teams into the twelve teep
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: precious twelve team tournament field.
• 26:02
  Speaker 5: I'm here for all this chaos, Oh my gosh.
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: Now, And that's legit. I mean, that's those that are
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: gonna be angry about that scenario unfolding. Yeah, there's some
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: legitimacy to it, and that probably will have to be
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: tweaked before next year, Yeah, because you can't have that
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: happen again.
• 26:20
  Speaker 5: But I really do like the chaos.
• 26:22

• 27:19
  Speaker 2: that is exactly where we're going to start and the
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: sport of football. Seahawks in action this Sunday against the
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: Atlanta Falcons. They'll be in Georgia having some biscuits and gravy,
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: some crispy creams. Oh you gotta go when that light song,
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: you gotta go.
• 27:33
  Speaker 4: In that light zone.
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: What they say, Oh yeah, that's when I fresh out
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: the oven.
• 27:37
  Speaker 5: Oh oh yeah, or friar wherever they come from. Yeah,
• 27:41
  Speaker 5: I don't know what, but I bet warm ones. I've
• 27:44
  Speaker 5: had one warm one in my life. It was delicious.
• 27:47
  Speaker 4: It doesn't matter.
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: You're driving down the road, you see that light on,
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: you have to stop.
• 27:51
  Speaker 4: That's what I was told.
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: Greg Bell was with us at seven o'clock this morning,
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: and h boy, I don't see a lot of paths
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: for the Falcon to beat the Seahawks on Sunday, but
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: Greg tried to figure it out himself.
• 28:05
  Speaker 7: Dreg Glennon, their top receiver, hasn't practiced all week. He
• 28:08
  Speaker 7: may not play, which under lines the fact that it's
• 28:11
  Speaker 7: Vjon Robinson all day for Atlanta. The top running back,
• 28:15
  Speaker 7: the number five running back in the league, is going
• 28:16
  Speaker 7: to be a thousand yard rusher with five more yards
• 28:19
  Speaker 7: on Sunday. If he runs for one hundred hundred and
• 28:22
  Speaker 7: fifty and the Seahawks and Sam Darnold turn the ball
• 28:25
  Speaker 7: over a few times, they could lose this game. The
• 28:28
  Speaker 7: Seahawks are not yet to the point that they can
• 28:31
  Speaker 7: just roll the ball out and win. Sure, So that's
• 28:34
  Speaker 7: the recipe. Don't turn the ball over. And so far
• 28:37
  Speaker 7: this is the number three NFL defense and rush defense.
• 28:40
  Speaker 7: And as I said, I just don't think they've been
• 28:42
  Speaker 7: tested all that much because they've been leading like two
• 28:44
  Speaker 7: touchdowns early in games. This will be the test Atlanta,
• 28:48
  Speaker 7: even if they fall behind, will continue to run. Stop
• 28:51
  Speaker 7: Vjon Robinson and you're going to win.
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: Greg Bell, if you want to hear the entire thing,
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: ninety three to three KJR dot com.
• 28:58
  Speaker 4: That's the podcast. That's where the show podcast will land.
• 29:01
  Speaker 5: We call it the pod.
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: I'll disagree a little bit with how he phrased that.
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: I think B John Robbin. You don't have to stop
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: B John Robinson. You just can't let him dominate, right.
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: I mean, he can rush for one hundred, he can
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: rush for one hundred and ten yards, and I still
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: think the Seahawks will win this football game if he
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: rushes for one seventy five and catches another fifty. Now,
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: now we're in trouble.
• 29:24
  Speaker 4: Yeah you tell me that.
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: I'm like, oh, oh, what was the final score of
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: that game? But I don't think it's possible to just
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: stop him in his tracks. I think that's asking too
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: much of the Hawks defense. But I just don't think
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: one man can beat the Seattle defense. And that's pretty
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: much what's going on. Robinson entered the week ranked fourth
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: in the NFL and rushing yards add nearly six hundred
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: receiving yards, and you have yourself one heck of a
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: multipurpose weapon. But he might be the only weapon offensively
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: that Atlanta has left. Michael Pennix is out at quarterback,
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: and wide receiver number one Drake London is doubtful for Sunday.
• 29:59
  Speaker 8: Ye.
• 30:00
  Speaker 5: I mean, I have a lot of confidence about the
• 30:01
  Speaker 5: Seahawks team going in and obviously, yeah, the one factor
• 30:04
  Speaker 5: is Jon Robinson, but I also don't anticipate this defense
• 30:07
  Speaker 5: giving up one hundred and seventy five yards on the ground. No,
• 30:10
  Speaker 5: I just don't see it.
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, four and eight Falcons have lost six of their
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: last seven games. The nine to three Seahawks sit atop
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: the division right now, tied to top the division, technically
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: a little bit behind the Rams because of the head
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: to head match up to Smidge, But you got two
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: nine and three teams one nine and four team. The
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: Rams will be at Arizona Sunday trying to bounce back
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: from a loss to the Carolina Panthers. San Francisco at
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: nine and four is on by so they're finally serving
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: their bye week this week, and they would need both
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: the Seahawks and the Rams to lose to draw even
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: in the NFC West Seattle at Atlanta ten am. Kickoff.
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: The week fourteen, which is a fascinating one in the
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: National Football League, got started last night in Detroit, where
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: the Lions topped the Dallas Cowboys.
• 31:00
  Speaker 4: Gibbs working the right side walker in front of the.
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: Ten, Gibbs skipping to the five under the eggszone for
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: a touchdown.
• 31:09
  Speaker 4: Tristan Cologne was the convoy to lead.
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: Gibbs to the promised Land and perhaps to lead the
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: Lions to their eighth win of the season forty three
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: point thirty with the extra.
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: Point to come west Wood one with the highlight there.
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: Jamiir Gibbs rushed for forty three yards last night, but
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: he scored three touchdowns. I was so jealous of Ashley
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: when she got Jamiir Gibbs in our fantasy league this season,
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: and man, has he been unbelievable. I think he is
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: the fastest, like from a dead stop to the peak
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: of his speed.
• 31:47
  Speaker 4: Runner I've ever seen.
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: Now, maybe I'm the prisoner of the moment, but I
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: think his ability to get the top speed in a
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: short space is unlike any football player I've ever seen.
• 31:58
  Speaker 5: Yeah, he is fantastic to watch. It's been very fun.
• 32:00
  Speaker 5: I am lucky I got him in our fantasy football league.
• 32:03
  Speaker 5: I got him in two leagues, did you really Yeah?
• 32:05
  Speaker 5: Last yeah, last week he had fifty and sixty points
• 32:08
  Speaker 5: for me in those leagues. This week thirty five and
• 32:11
  Speaker 5: thirty something.
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: I mean he came in and out in the same
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: draft with B. John Robinson, and everybody thought Robinson's were
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: going to be the top five pick. But why are
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: you picking Gibbs twelfth? And I think he's every bit
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: is good.
• 32:25
  Speaker 5: Yeah, maybe better, I would agree than B John Robinson,
• 32:28
  Speaker 5: but most great, and especially playing with Detroit's offense two
• 32:31
  Speaker 5: probably helps him quite a bit.
• 32:32
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I think so.
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: Detroit scored the last fourteen points of the game to
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: pull away from a hot Dallas squad.
• 32:38
  Speaker 4: Forty four to thirty was.
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: The final score, so the Cowboys fall back to five
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: hundred on the season. The Lions are still even with
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: the win. On the outside of the playoff picture looking in,
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: even with their eight and five record. Week fourteen's boy,
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: it's a stunner. Cincinnati at Buffalo, Pittsburgh at Baltimore. So
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: a lot's going to be sorted out there in the
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: AFC North. And those aren't even the three best games.
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: The best early game is gonna be Indy at Jacksonville.
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: Those two teams tied record wise atop the AFC South
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: Chicago at green Bay. Only a half game separates them.
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: And if you haven't checked out your handy dandy standings lately,
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: you might be surprised to know that the Bears are
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: actually in first place in the NFC North. They'll be
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: at green Bay to take on the Packers. That's the
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: best afternoon game, and then at night Houston at Kansas
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: City terrific matchup, and it might be playoff time for
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: both of those teams right now. They're on the outside
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: of the playoffs looking in, and the Kansas City Chiefs
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: might be desperate at this point. So that's a heck
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: of a Sunday for you.
• 33:44
  Speaker 5: Yeah, that is gonna be a lot of fun.
• 33:46
  Speaker 4: Saturday's even better.
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: College Football Conference Championship Week is here. Of course, the
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: big game is the Big Ten title game between Ohio
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: State and Indiana. That's number one versus number two in
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: America meeting for the Big Ten conference title. I'm not
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: saying that Ohio State is intimidating for the Hoosiers, but
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: to me, it feels like what I'm hearing Indiana is
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: really working hard to try to convince themselves they can win.
• 34:15
  Speaker 5: I'm so excited.
• 34:18
  Speaker 4: I'm sided. Well that's not encouraging.
• 34:26
  Speaker 5: No, that doesn't. I would have thought they would have
• 34:28
  Speaker 5: had a little more faith than themselves.
• 34:31
  Speaker 4: Guys like they fell apart.
• 34:33
  Speaker 5: Yeah you got this, we need you kind of send
• 34:35
  Speaker 5: them a pep talk like some donuts Chrispy.
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: Ohio State versus Indiana, that's that's just fantastic. And and
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: and these are not finesse teams. Everybody thinks Indiana some
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: finesse team. I mean they are gritty and happen to
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: feature the guy that's probably going to win the Heisman
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: Trophy and against the clear cut number one ranked team
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: in the country. Have been almost all season long since
• 35:03
  Speaker 2: they beat Texas in the season opener. So five o'clock
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: on Fox, that's the only game on Fox the rest
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: of the Big Game Saturday, will be on ABC. You're
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: gonna have eleven BYU taking on Texas Tech for the
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: Big twelve title at nine am kickoff one o'clock Georgia
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: rank third in the country versus number nine Alabama. That's
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: at one for the SEC title, and then the ACC
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: title will also be played at five o'clock, but on
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: ABC it'll be number seventeen Virginia versus Duke. And then
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: there are two games tonight Troy versus James Madison, North
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: Texas versus Tulane, and both of those games could very
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: well impact selection Sunday, which is now just two days away.
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: Rick new Isle was with us on Tuesday. He's got
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: a lot of problems with those committee members.
• 35:55
  Speaker 9: I just think we need to tweak the schedules and
• 35:57
  Speaker 9: we need to make it not subjective in the committee room,
• 36:01
  Speaker 9: because they just stick to wins and losses, the head
• 36:05
  Speaker 9: to head stuff. The notion of who you played really
• 36:10
  Speaker 9: isn't factored in. You can't have Notre Dame ahead of Miami.
• 36:13
  Speaker 9: That makes no sense to anybody. If you talk to Texas,
• 36:17
  Speaker 9: there are five teams that are going to make the
• 36:20
  Speaker 9: tournament from the SEC, and if you look at the
• 36:23
  Speaker 9: top five teams in the SEC. There are two that
• 36:26
  Speaker 9: are seven and one and there are three that are.
• 36:28
  Speaker 7: Six and two.
• 36:29
  Speaker 9: Texas is one of those six and two teams, and
• 36:31
  Speaker 9: they beat the other two six and two teams, but
• 36:34
  Speaker 9: they lost to Ohio State. The reason they lost to
• 36:37
  Speaker 9: Ohio State is they played Ohio State. They didn't have to,
• 36:42
  Speaker 9: and they're in. If we want games that are going
• 36:45
  Speaker 9: to be of significance in the non conference, we can't
• 36:47
  Speaker 9: penalize people. And yet I also understand if you didn't
• 36:51
  Speaker 9: win the game, you can't be rewarded as if you did.
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: Break new Isel with us on Tuesday. I mean, I
• 36:58
  Speaker 2: agree with almost everything new Isaal says about college football,
• 37:02
  Speaker 2: but I do think he's a little bit off. I think,
• 37:04
  Speaker 2: as I mentioned in our last segment, I think there
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: is an argument for Notre Dame to be above Miamiyah.
• 37:09
  Speaker 4: I think there's a very good one.
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: And yet I think there's a very good argument for Miami,
• 37:14
  Speaker 2: because of that head to head wind, to be ahead
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: of Notre Dame since they both have the same records.
• 37:20
  Speaker 2: I think there's a great argument for Texas to get
• 37:22
  Speaker 2: into this, and I don't want to squelch potential great matchups.
• 37:28
  Speaker 2: Like Ohio State and Texas because teams are like, there's
• 37:31
  Speaker 2: no benefit to it, you know, you just put yourself
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: at risk. But let's also point out that Texas would
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: be in it if they just didn't lose to a
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: bad Florida team. They would be in it, and they
• 37:41
  Speaker 2: would be ranked pretty highly. They would be the highest
• 37:44
  Speaker 2: ranked two lost team in this entire process. So, look,
• 37:49
  Speaker 2: they're gonna be doesn't matter how small or big you
• 37:52
  Speaker 2: make this thing. They're gonna be a couple of teams
• 37:54
  Speaker 2: who have a great case for being in it. They're
• 37:56
  Speaker 2: gonna be left out. And the conversation that follows is
• 38:00
  Speaker 2: part of the fun. Yes, and it stinks if I
• 38:03
  Speaker 2: mean Vanderbilt, I feel terrible for Vanderbilt.
• 38:06
  Speaker 4: I don't know how many chances they're going to get
• 38:08
  Speaker 4: to ever be here.
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: I don't know how many Heisman Trophy candidates they're going
• 38:11
  Speaker 2: to have for the rest of their lives. I'd love
• 38:13
  Speaker 2: to see the Vanderbilt Commodoores led by Diego Pavia get
• 38:18
  Speaker 2: into this tournament field, but they're not going to. Somebody's
• 38:22
  Speaker 2: going to be left out of the process. And so yes,
• 38:26
  Speaker 2: let's have our debates. But the anger that people are
• 38:29
  Speaker 2: already established.
• 38:31
  Speaker 4: Seems strange to me.
• 38:32
  Speaker 5: Yeah, especially we don't know how they're gonna actually what's
• 38:34
  Speaker 5: gonna We don't know what's going to happen in these games,
• 38:36
  Speaker 5: so we have no idea what's going to happen on Sunday. So,
• 38:39
  Speaker 5: you know, baby steps, don't just get your preemptive anger
• 38:41
  Speaker 5: because you want to get all riled up, thinking the
• 38:43
  Speaker 5: louder I am, the more likely they'll hear us, and
• 38:46
  Speaker 5: then they'll definitely, you know, reward our team. That's not
• 38:49
  Speaker 5: the way it works. I don't care.
• 38:50
  Speaker 2: I wish you would have been as angry about us
• 38:52
  Speaker 2: not having a tournament. I mean that would have been great.
• 38:55
  Speaker 2: I could have used the support for fifty years of
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: my life. Yeah right, you know that. You know, where
• 39:01
  Speaker 2: were you with me boycotting the Bowl games until they
• 39:03
  Speaker 2: gave us a tournament? And instead people seem to be
• 39:06
  Speaker 2: more angry with the committee for making a difficult decision
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: that they haven't even made yet. Yeah, it's very strange.
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: Alabama is also a very interesting story here because there
• 39:18
  Speaker 2: are people at ESPN, big names at kirk Kurbstreet. Nick
• 39:23
  Speaker 2: Saban talked about it on Saturday that think that your
• 39:28
  Speaker 2: resume should end at the end of the regular season,
• 39:30
  Speaker 2: that you should not get punished because you earned a
• 39:33
  Speaker 2: right into the conference championship game, had to play an
• 39:36
  Speaker 2: extra game and may lose.
• 39:38
  Speaker 4: To a team that you beat during the regular season.
• 39:41
  Speaker 2: That shouldn't affect your status as a playoff team. I
• 39:44
  Speaker 2: get that argument too, but it has to affect it.
• 39:47
  Speaker 5: Yeah, Otherwise, why are you having the games?
• 39:49
  Speaker 3: Right?
• 39:49
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's gonna affect Georgia. I mean, if Bama
• 39:52
  Speaker 2: beats Georgia, Georgia's gonna slide down, right, They're not gonna
• 39:56
  Speaker 2: be the third ranked team in the tournament. They're not
• 39:58
  Speaker 2: gonna get a buye in the first round if they
• 40:00
  Speaker 2: losed Alabama, and if Alabama beats them twice, there's no
• 40:04
  Speaker 2: way you can rank Georgia ahead of Alabama. No chance
• 40:07
  Speaker 2: that you could do that. So if Alabama loses that
• 40:11
  Speaker 2: game and they lost a Florida State at the beginning
• 40:14
  Speaker 2: of the year and got trashed, yes, it has to
• 40:18
  Speaker 2: factor in. If we're saying there's an eyelash difference between
• 40:22
  Speaker 2: Alabama and Notre Dame, and an eyelash difference between Notre
• 40:26
  Speaker 2: Dame and Miami, and an eyelash difference between Miami and
• 40:30
  Speaker 2: Texas's resume. You better believe losing a third game conference
• 40:35
  Speaker 2: championship or not has to factor into that decision.
• 40:38
  Speaker 5: Yes, I just again, you have the games right now,
• 40:41
  Speaker 5: So if you don't want them to factor in the future,
• 40:43
  Speaker 5: get rid of the games. But right now they have
• 40:44
  Speaker 5: to matter.
• 40:45
  Speaker 2: I think they are going to get rid of them.
• 40:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 40:47
  Speaker 2: And I think though, we are going to get rid
• 40:49
  Speaker 2: of the possibility to have two group of five teams
• 40:52
  Speaker 2: in a twelve team tournament field. I think that will
• 40:54
  Speaker 2: get adjusted immediately after this season, even if it doesn't happen.
• 40:58
  Speaker 5: The possibility that it could have the fact.
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: That they're crapping their pants right now that this could happen.
• 41:04
  Speaker 4: They're going to get rid of that.
• 41:05
  Speaker 2: They're going to have different requirements for whether a group
• 41:08
  Speaker 2: of five team even can get in at all, especially
• 41:11
  Speaker 2: a two loss tu Lane, a two loss Tulane.
• 41:13
  Speaker 4: Gets in over Miami. That's what people should be like.
• 41:17
  Speaker 2: We can't about not angry because it's part of the rules,
• 41:21
  Speaker 2: but angry because we can't let that happen again. Yes,
• 41:25
  Speaker 2: so you know we're still in the infancy stages. It's
• 41:28
  Speaker 2: just year number two of the tournament. I love that
• 41:31
  Speaker 2: it's here. Everyone should love that it is here. There
• 41:34
  Speaker 2: are still some things to figure out about it until
• 41:36
  Speaker 2: we can get the exact right system. We're not there yet,
• 41:40
  Speaker 2: but let's learn from that again this year and maybe
• 41:44
  Speaker 2: we can get there at least closer.
• 41:45
  Speaker 4: To it next season.
• 41:46
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I agree.
• 41:47
  Speaker 2: All right, college basketball this week and you dub will
• 41:51
  Speaker 2: be at USC and man, this is always a scary proposition.
• 41:57
  Speaker 2: Put down your sphere, But I'm fighting the Trophans oh today,
• 42:01
  Speaker 2: but I'm ready.
• 42:01
  Speaker 4: You taught me on a fight.
• 42:03
  Speaker 7: You're a good students.
• 42:05
  Speaker 4: You're not a moment in yet. That's right. Not today, tomorrow.
• 42:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you gotta wait, Yeah, brabb your spirit tomorrow.
• 42:11
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's not today. We're not playing them today.
• 42:13
  Speaker 5: Yeah, don't do it today. You're gonna be early, and
• 42:15
  Speaker 5: nobody wants an early bird.
• 42:17
  Speaker 2: That's the point Brad's making right there. It's like, you're
• 42:19
  Speaker 2: not playing today, playing tomorrow.
• 42:21
  Speaker 5: Yeah, we're just traveling today.
• 42:23
  Speaker 4: You played UCLA to a bucket Wednesday night.
• 42:26
  Speaker 2: But it's an oh to one start for the Dogs
• 42:28
  Speaker 2: in conference play. They'll be at USC tomorrow at three o'clock.
• 42:32
  Speaker 2: Number twenty four ranked USC off to an eight and
• 42:35
  Speaker 2: oh start this year, but they will be facing a
• 42:38
  Speaker 2: pair of former Trojans in Desmond Claude and Wesley Yates.
• 42:42
  Speaker 4: The third.
• 42:43
  Speaker 2: CBS Sports has described the start of this college basketball
• 42:46
  Speaker 2: season as the best ever.
• 42:48
  Speaker 5: Oh that's a statement, that's dumb.
• 42:52
  Speaker 2: But what they're trying to highlight is that if you're
• 42:56
  Speaker 2: just locked into the football world right now, and it's
• 42:58
  Speaker 2: hard not to be as a sports fan, there is
• 43:02
  Speaker 2: this freshman class Ashley in college basketball this year, which
• 43:07
  Speaker 2: is fantastic, and so there's some really good basketball being played.
• 43:11
  Speaker 2: There's some new stars that have emerged on the college
• 43:15
  Speaker 2: basketball landscape, and so that's what they mean. So if
• 43:18
  Speaker 2: you're just waiting till the football season to end before
• 43:21
  Speaker 2: you watch any basketball, you might be doing yourself of
• 43:24
  Speaker 2: this service. The greatest season ever. No, it's not even possible.
• 43:30
  Speaker 2: Oilers last night took on the crack and the crack
• 43:33
  Speaker 2: and are certainly in a slump right now, but last night,
• 43:36
  Speaker 2: I mean that was ridiculous. They couldn't stop Edmonton at all.
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: Now ETL high slotl shoot stocked away prebout savoy scorers.
• 43:49
  Speaker 7: That is the.
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: Fourth power play goal for the Amlton Oilers, the second
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: of the night, for Matt Savoy nine.
• 43:58
  Speaker 4: Three at Loan Toll.
• 44:03
  Speaker 2: It's great he is ever fits you on the call
• 44:06
  Speaker 2: it was edmundtone nine crack and four ended up being
• 44:11
  Speaker 2: the final score. They scored nine times.
• 44:14
  Speaker 5: Niner nine times?
• 44:17
  Speaker 4: Nine times?
• 44:19
  Speaker 5: Did I catch a niner?
• 44:20
  Speaker 7: In?
• 44:20
  Speaker 4: There?
• 44:20
  Speaker 5: Were you calling from.
• 44:21
  Speaker 2: Alwaukie Talkie Cracking are officially in their first slump of
• 44:24
  Speaker 2: the Laine Lambert era. They have lost four straight games.
• 44:27
  Speaker 2: They have not scored a power play goal in any
• 44:30
  Speaker 2: of the four games, and last night they allowed nine
• 44:34
  Speaker 2: goals to Connor McDavid and company.
• 44:37
  Speaker 4: Yeah, get out of it.
• 44:38
  Speaker 2: Their next chance to get out of it is against
• 44:41
  Speaker 2: Detroit tomorrow night at home seven o'clock. They will drop
• 44:45
  Speaker 2: the puck and finally, man, it's not just football and
• 44:48
  Speaker 2: basketball and hockey this week, and ride baseball's back into
• 44:52
  Speaker 2: our lives.
• 44:53
  Speaker 4: Wait, hey, are you listening? Woo in the lane?
• 44:59
  Speaker 2: S Oh, you're on the night beautiful sight were happy
• 45:05
  Speaker 2: to anyone walk in the winter? Oh.
• 45:10
  Speaker 7: Winter.
• 45:11
  Speaker 2: Meetings start on Sunday and into early next week. This
• 45:16
  Speaker 2: used to be a playground for all sorts of MLB trades.
• 45:20
  Speaker 2: It really hasn't been recently, and that is annoying. But
• 45:26
  Speaker 2: I don't really. I mean free agency last all off season,
• 45:30
  Speaker 2: and because of Scott Boris sometimes into the regular season.
• 45:34
  Speaker 2: But this is where all the general managers in baseball
• 45:38
  Speaker 2: have decided volunteered, volunteered to go to one warm location,
• 45:44
  Speaker 2: to hang out in the same hotel, eat at the
• 45:46
  Speaker 2: same restaurants, drink the same Scotch, smoke the same cigars,
• 45:50
  Speaker 2: and talk trades. So if there's gonna be a Mariner
• 45:53
  Speaker 2: trade this offseason, maybe this is the the playground for that.
• 46:00
  Speaker 2: We shall see. We're going to talk next about the stove.
• 46:04
  Speaker 2: That's right, Mariner's second base position. What are we going
• 46:07
  Speaker 2: to end.
• 46:08
  Speaker 4: Up with at the end of the offseason.
• 46:09
  Speaker 2: We'll discuss it next here on Chuck and Box Sports
• 46:11
  Speaker 2: Radio ninety three point three KJRFM, Booz News. To wrap
• 46:15
  Speaker 2: it up, Mike Holmgren at nine thirty and X's and
• 46:18
  Speaker 2: O's with our QB one Hugh Mellan starts it off
• 46:22
  Speaker 2: this nine o'clock hour.
• 46:23
  Speaker 4: Good morning, sir, Good morning, how are you. We're doing great?
• 46:25
  Speaker 4: We're doing great.
• 46:26
  Speaker 2: We got a lot of great football to watch this
• 46:28
  Speaker 2: We're doing oh my goodness, Saturday and Sunday or fantastic
• 46:32
  Speaker 2: even tonight's nights. Yeah, exactly, Yeah, crack out the popcorn.
• 46:37
  Speaker 2: I asked this of Greg earlier in the hour in
• 46:40
  Speaker 2: the show. But I'm curious your thoughts. I mean, Julian
• 46:43
  Speaker 2: Love is coming back to this team, and Nick emn
• 46:47
  Speaker 2: War he still seems to be like evolving into something
• 46:51
  Speaker 2: that we haven't even seen the finished product with DeMarcus
• 46:55
  Speaker 2: Lawrence seems to be reborn. Ernest Jones seems to be
• 46:58
  Speaker 2: the perfect fit. I mean, how much better can this
• 47:02
  Speaker 2: defense actually get than it already is?
• 47:05
  Speaker 4: It's so fun to watch.
• 47:06
  Speaker 7: You know.
• 47:07
  Speaker 4: A year ago, there was one depressing Monday morning quarterback
• 47:10
  Speaker 4: that I had. It was after the Bills, and we said, well,
• 47:13
  Speaker 4: you know, if we believe in Mike McDonald, let's see
• 47:15
  Speaker 4: how he turns this thing around, because they had really
• 47:17
  Speaker 4: struggled against the Bills defensively. And I'm not going to
• 47:20
  Speaker 4: go into the details of that. That was a year ago.
• 47:22
  Speaker 4: But then the second time was the against Tampa Bay. Obviously,
• 47:27
  Speaker 4: since that was Week five. Since Week five, there's been
• 47:32
  Speaker 4: seven games. The Seahawks are number one in a stat
• 47:36
  Speaker 4: that I always thought was the most indicative about the
• 47:39
  Speaker 4: defense points allowed per drive, because that really just defines
• 47:44
  Speaker 4: what the defense has to do. Right, They're number one
• 47:46
  Speaker 4: in the NFL in points per drive. Well, I let
• 47:49
  Speaker 4: the evidence lead me, and I've run correlation statistics in
• 47:54
  Speaker 4: this new stuff. We're hearing about EPA expected points average, Well,
• 47:58
  Speaker 4: it added rather play and per game. Well, that has
• 48:02
  Speaker 4: a slightly higher correlation to winning. So I'm a convert,
• 48:05
  Speaker 4: so you're gonna hear more. I'm sure you've been hearing
• 48:08
  Speaker 4: about EPA Seahawks since Week six and beyond those last
• 48:14
  Speaker 4: seven games. They're number one in the NFL in defensive
• 48:17
  Speaker 4: EPA per play, number one in defensive EPA per game.
• 48:22
  Speaker 4: And I'll put it into historical context. The if you
• 48:27
  Speaker 4: take over the last seven games, the EPA per play,
• 48:32
  Speaker 4: and you take the Legion of Boom their four best years,
• 48:35
  Speaker 4: the four years that they were number one in the
• 48:38
  Speaker 4: NFL in fewest points allowed in each season. If you
• 48:44
  Speaker 4: then say in each of those years twenty twelve, thirteen,
• 48:47
  Speaker 4: fourteen to fifteen, after after seven games of each of
• 48:52
  Speaker 4: those seasons, you say, well, we have a seven games,
• 48:54
  Speaker 4: and then each subsequent week we could we could look
• 48:57
  Speaker 4: back at our most recent seven games. Does that make sense?
• 48:59
  Speaker 7: So? Right?
• 49:00
  Speaker 4: So in each year there would be ten games out
• 49:04
  Speaker 4: of this out of the sixteen where you could say,
• 49:07
  Speaker 4: how have we done in the last seven games? That
• 49:10
  Speaker 4: makes sense. So there are times four four years that's
• 49:14
  Speaker 4: forty different games where on a Sunday night we could say, hey,
• 49:17
  Speaker 4: how have we been doing over our last seven games?
• 49:21
  Speaker 4: The very best EPA over a seven game period was
• 49:25
  Speaker 4: at the last game of the twenty thirteen and the
• 49:30
  Speaker 4: Seahawks this year, their last seven is better than any
• 49:34
  Speaker 4: seven game stretch that the lob ever had. The game
• 49:38
  Speaker 4: against the Vikings was the number one EPA defensively obviously
• 49:45
  Speaker 4: for this year, that was higher than any EPA game
• 49:48
  Speaker 4: that the Lob ever had. The best the lob had
• 49:51
  Speaker 4: was Week fourteen against the Cardinals in a fifty eight
• 49:54
  Speaker 4: to nothing win a quarterback named John Skelton. So well,
• 49:58
  Speaker 4: you might decry, Well, this was against a Viking rooky quarterback.
• 50:01
  Speaker 4: Guess what the LB played against lousy quarterbacks as well?
• 50:05
  Speaker 4: And then for the season this is now let's throw
• 50:08
  Speaker 4: out just since the Week five, this is the entire
• 50:11
  Speaker 4: season the lob average over four years, each game they
• 50:17
  Speaker 4: were at point zero ninety nine uh e p A.
• 50:21
  Speaker 4: The Seahawks defense this year point one two one about better.
• 50:28
  Speaker 4: So what you are seeing is is really uh in
• 50:34
  Speaker 4: some ways in the in the numbers that I framed,
• 50:38
  Speaker 4: are you know, a historically great defense, and.
• 50:41
  Speaker 2: That's not diminishing the lob that is like, this is
• 50:45
  Speaker 2: the highest level you can reach as a defense, and
• 50:50
  Speaker 2: and this team is matching the best that the one
• 50:53
  Speaker 2: of the best defenses of Ice. Ice tell you that
• 50:56
  Speaker 2: they're doing it, and the numbers say it to unreal,
• 50:59
  Speaker 2: unrel Eamon Or he's also unreal. And the versatility that
• 51:04
  Speaker 2: he's shown is something that we were expecting in training camp,
• 51:07
  Speaker 2: but I didn't expect him to be this good this soon.
• 51:10
  Speaker 2: And yet they might add another element to his game.
• 51:15
  Speaker 2: He lined up, I guess at defensive end for a
• 51:17
  Speaker 2: few games against the Vikings, and it's something that they
• 51:20
  Speaker 2: might be doing more frequently in the future.
• 51:23
  Speaker 4: What's your take on that? Well, you know, I when
• 51:28
  Speaker 4: I heard that, I'm like, wait a minute, that I've
• 51:30
  Speaker 4: studied the tape, I don't recall that I would have
• 51:33
  Speaker 4: recalled that. Certainly, he'd lined up as an outside linebacker
• 51:38
  Speaker 4: numerous occasions. The Seahawks played a lot of snaps where
• 51:42
  Speaker 4: they're up six or seven guys on the line of scrimmage,
• 51:44
  Speaker 4: and he was one of the six or seven. But
• 51:46
  Speaker 4: just in terms of an end, you know, with the
• 51:50
  Speaker 4: hand in the ground, there was times where he was
• 51:51
  Speaker 4: kind of crouched over and looks like, you know, he's
• 51:54
  Speaker 4: just been over at the waist and from a distance
• 51:56
  Speaker 4: maybe you thought he had his hand on the ground.
• 51:58
  Speaker 4: I'll just issue this challenge there there. I don't believe
• 52:01
  Speaker 4: that there there is no play in that game in
• 52:05
  Speaker 4: the Vikings where he was, ever what offenses would describe
• 52:08
  Speaker 4: as the opponent defensive end outside linebacker. Yes, in an underfront.
• 52:12
  Speaker 4: If you take any high school coaches who's driving around
• 52:16
  Speaker 4: when I say on an underfront that the SAM backer
• 52:19
  Speaker 4: is on the line of scrimmage, well that doesn't make
• 52:21
  Speaker 4: him a defensive end. He's still the SAM backer. And
• 52:23
  Speaker 4: other fronts that I'm not going to get into.
• 52:25
  Speaker 7: But.
• 52:27
  Speaker 4: I'll issue this. Anybody who can produce a picture with
• 52:32
  Speaker 4: Nick eymn Worry with his hand in the ground as
• 52:35
  Speaker 4: the defensive end against the Vikings, I'll buy you a
• 52:38
  Speaker 4: steak dinner at the met So it didn't happen. So
• 52:41
  Speaker 4: now that doesn't mean that doesn't take away anything from
• 52:45
  Speaker 4: his versatility. But I just in the instance. In the
• 52:49
  Speaker 4: interests of accuracy, we haven't quite got there. Outside linebacker. Yes,
• 52:53
  Speaker 4: he's a nickel Sam, but not a hand in the
• 52:56
  Speaker 4: ground defensive end, not yet. There's an difference between edge
• 52:59
  Speaker 4: rusher and defensive end.
• 53:01
  Speaker 2: It's just different. You know, you can be an edgecate
• 53:04
  Speaker 2: without being a defensive end.
• 53:06
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean they they played, they've played a thirty
• 53:09
  Speaker 4: front on a few occasions of what's called an odd
• 53:11
  Speaker 4: a three four where you know he's an outside linebacker
• 53:14
  Speaker 4: and you know, the nose tackle was shaded, uh a
• 53:17
  Speaker 4: little bit, but you could still say that was a
• 53:19
  Speaker 4: three to four front, but an odd front. But but
• 53:23
  Speaker 4: no defensive end. I'm like, huh in I would have
• 53:27
  Speaker 4: remembered that. So so I think we might be getting
• 53:30
  Speaker 4: close to that. Haven't seen it yet. Yeah, Well, he's
• 53:32
  Speaker 4: a special player.
• 53:33
  Speaker 2: Maybe not Howie Long, but he is a uh he's
• 53:37
  Speaker 2: looking to be a really special player. I mean, can
• 53:40
  Speaker 2: you believe how good he is this early in his career.
• 53:43
  Speaker 4: Well, did you see the video of him walking with
• 53:47
  Speaker 4: uh oh, some of the other safeties, but but he
• 53:50
  Speaker 4: just towers over everybody. Yeah, and he's just such a
• 53:53
  Speaker 4: beautiful athlete in space. He moves his hips. He just
• 53:56
  Speaker 4: his movement, his acceleration. Uh, you know he can you
• 54:00
  Speaker 4: know you see him covering tight ends. We talked yesterday
• 54:03
  Speaker 4: about how you know, and in Man and Man's seahawks
• 54:06
  Speaker 4: broke the huddle a little bit earlier. Uh, even Worry
• 54:09
  Speaker 4: just said, Okay, I'm gonna be on the left. Whoever
• 54:11
  Speaker 4: comes at me. Well, the guy in the slot happened
• 54:13
  Speaker 4: to be Justin Jefferson as well. We called man a man.
• 54:16
  Speaker 4: Everybody just nobody seemed to I look back, is there
• 54:19
  Speaker 4: any like hand signals? Are they trying to get out
• 54:21
  Speaker 4: of this coverage? Nope, just gonna cover him. Covered it,
• 54:24
  Speaker 4: gloved him up in what's called cover one man and man. Now,
• 54:28
  Speaker 4: the one thing I would say, have not seen that
• 54:31
  Speaker 4: that violent striking that we saw from Uh from Bam
• 54:37
  Speaker 4: Bam and uh and Cam Chancer. So I there there.
• 54:42
  Speaker 4: He hasn't converted his athleticism to to violence. But but
• 54:48
  Speaker 4: the fluidity, the instincts are coming in the ability to cut,
• 54:51
  Speaker 4: you know, cover, have the length to cover tight ends,
• 54:53
  Speaker 4: the athleticism to cover the big receivers, you know, mediums,
• 54:57
  Speaker 4: receivers like Justin Jefferson. He's covered guys in the slot.
• 55:01
  Speaker 4: So yeah, he's a fun player to watch.
• 55:03
  Speaker 2: Hugh Millan is with us x's and o's every Friday
• 55:05
  Speaker 2: at nine o'clock, brought to you by Frost Brewed Corps Light.
• 55:08
  Speaker 2: The mountains turned blue at forty two degrees. So, I mean,
• 55:12
  Speaker 2: this Atlanta team, they've been bad this year. They're probably
• 55:15
  Speaker 2: their worst right now. They have a sensational player in
• 55:19
  Speaker 2: Bijon Robinson, but it's hard for me to believe that
• 55:22
  Speaker 2: one sensational player, considering all the injuries that they've had
• 55:26
  Speaker 2: this year, is going to be a match for Mike
• 55:28
  Speaker 2: McDonald's defense here.
• 55:30
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I think, particularly in the absence of Drake London,
• 55:33
  Speaker 4: I think that they're they're missing some firepower. But you know, look,
• 55:37
  Speaker 4: I think it's very interesting to watch Bijon Robinson because
• 55:41
  Speaker 4: what you're going to see is the outside zone we
• 55:45
  Speaker 4: talked about yesterday. He has one hundred and fifteen outside
• 55:50
  Speaker 4: zone runs. The next closest guy is eighty has eighty six,
• 55:55
  Speaker 4: and last year he had one hundred and seventy. The
• 55:56
  Speaker 4: next closest guy was one hundred and four, and you
• 55:59
  Speaker 4: know his yards after contact on these plays. The Falcons
• 56:04
  Speaker 4: as a team are number three in the NFL. So
• 56:06
  Speaker 4: see how's got to tackle they While Seattle is called
• 56:11
  Speaker 4: run play percentage, the Seahawks are first. The Falcons want
• 56:15
  Speaker 4: to run it two. There's seventh in that category. But
• 56:17
  Speaker 4: here here's something just interesting. The pistol formation with the
• 56:21
  Speaker 4: quarterback and in shotgun but a little bit closer in
• 56:24
  Speaker 4: four yards instead of five, and then Bjon Robinson behind.
• 56:28
  Speaker 4: Let me give you an example of the average for
• 56:32
  Speaker 4: the NFL is four pistol plays per game, actually three
• 56:36
  Speaker 4: point seven. The second closest is the Commanders with eleven
• 56:41
  Speaker 4: snaps a game. The Falcons are first with twenty seven.
• 56:46
  Speaker 4: So Bjon Robinson, he's gonna run that stra This is
• 56:49
  Speaker 4: just kind of this is actually no segment right defensively,
• 56:52
  Speaker 4: as you're preparing, you're saying Bjon Robinson's gonna line up
• 56:55
  Speaker 4: right behind the quarterback who's in a you know, a
• 56:58
  Speaker 4: short shotgun. And then what happens is obviously he can
• 57:01
  Speaker 4: go stretch weak or he can go stretch wrong, stretch left,
• 57:04
  Speaker 4: stretch right, and and his ability, the way he's taught
• 57:09
  Speaker 4: is is you're gonna make a re read the the
• 57:13
  Speaker 4: outside blocker, whether it's a tight end or whether it's
• 57:15
  Speaker 4: an offensive tackle. If he can hook that outside defender,
• 57:19
  Speaker 4: then Jon Robinson has the explosiveness to get outside. Why
• 57:24
  Speaker 4: but if the outside, the tight end or the offensive
• 57:27
  Speaker 4: tackle cannot hook the outside defender, what's called the E
• 57:31
  Speaker 4: M l O S the nd man on the line
• 57:32
  Speaker 4: of scrimmage. If he cannot hook him, Robinson will read
• 57:35
  Speaker 4: that and he will continue to read from outside in
• 57:38
  Speaker 4: the next defender whether to go break in or out.
• 57:41
  Speaker 4: He's going to make his decision on his third step.
• 57:43
  Speaker 4: He will make his cut on the fifth step. That
• 57:46
  Speaker 4: standard just Terrell Davis type stuff. I've studied the tape
• 57:50
  Speaker 4: with Robinson. Every time when he makes a cut, it's
• 57:53
  Speaker 4: on his fifth step, and he's very decisive. He has
• 57:56
  Speaker 4: a great vision on that. That's the challenge for Seattle,
• 57:59
  Speaker 4: and I spend a little extra time on on the
• 58:02
  Speaker 4: outside zone because we talked so much about it with
• 58:04
  Speaker 4: Clint Kubiak. Clint Kubiak is probably just salivating saying this
• 58:09
  Speaker 4: is what I want to be, not necessarily out of pistol,
• 58:13
  Speaker 4: but the Falcons and Bjon Robinson, they're prowessing that outside
• 58:16
  Speaker 4: zone is somewhat what Clint Kubiak would would probably like
• 58:21
  Speaker 4: to see. So so maybe you're gonna be watching a
• 58:23
  Speaker 4: little bit of future Seahawks when you watch Robinson run
• 58:27
  Speaker 4: this outside zone.
• 58:28
  Speaker 2: Is there anybody else? I mean, without London and without Pennix?
• 58:32
  Speaker 2: Is there anybody else that worries you on the Atlanta
• 58:34
  Speaker 2: side of the ball that could give us trouble on Sunday?
• 58:37
  Speaker 5: Uh?
• 58:37
  Speaker 4: Elijah Pitts, Kyle or Kyle Pitts' right?
• 58:42
  Speaker 7: Yeah?
• 58:42
  Speaker 4: Was there Elijah Pitts somewhere along the line?
• 58:44
  Speaker 7: Yeah?
• 58:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think there was a defensive lineman back. Lie
• 58:47
  Speaker 2: and just lie and nod your head if you can't
• 58:50
  Speaker 2: really remember. Okay, so pit but Pitts the tight end.
• 58:53
  Speaker 2: You know, they've had trouble.
• 58:53
  Speaker 4: With tight ends, you know, athletic guide, probably a little
• 58:57
  Speaker 4: bit of underachiever. But yeah, he can he can run.
• 58:59
  Speaker 7: You know.
• 59:01
  Speaker 4: Somebody said long ago you can put two tight ends
• 59:03
  Speaker 4: into two categories. Those who can run down the middle
• 59:05
  Speaker 4: of a cover two in those who can't. He has
• 59:07
  Speaker 4: the athleticism and the speed size to get down the middle,
• 59:10
  Speaker 4: and so I think that there's a threat there. But
• 59:13
  Speaker 4: without London, you know, I think everybody else is just
• 59:15
  Speaker 4: kind of pedestrian. I wanted to ask.
• 59:17
  Speaker 2: You about this before we get off of the topic
• 59:19
  Speaker 2: of Michael Pennix. He recently said and Raheem Morris that
• 59:23
  Speaker 2: it got overblown and it was nonsense, and he's got
• 59:26
  Speaker 2: plenty of support. But for Michael PENNOCKX Junior, in his
• 59:29
  Speaker 2: first full year as a starter, second year in the
• 59:32
  Speaker 2: National Football League, to cry out that he doesn't really
• 59:37
  Speaker 2: have anybody to talk to when he comes off of
• 59:39
  Speaker 2: the field about the offense, what was your reaction to
• 59:42
  Speaker 2: that comment?
• 59:45
  Speaker 4: Well, there's always in those things, I say, Okay, I
• 59:48
  Speaker 4: put it into two categories, what's the truth or veracity
• 59:51
  Speaker 4: of it, what have you? What's the impact of it?
• 59:55
  Speaker 4: And then separate from that should if he said it publicly,
• 59:59
  Speaker 4: that's always my respet. So to the first question, I'm surprised.
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 4: I'm sure that there's somebody on that staff who is
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 4: on you know, on his business titles, says, you know,
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 4: talk to the quarterback. So that's odd, but it is Uh. Look,
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 4: if he if he feels that he doesn't have anybody
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 4: to talk to and he's saying that with any sense
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 4: of regret, the Falcons have to fix that right Like
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 4: he's there, he's their franchise quarterback, and so that's a
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 4: even the fact that he might think that Michael Pinnix
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 4: is not some diva quarterback. He is a quality dude.
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 4: I've had conversations with him. I was at a you know,
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 4: he flew up from Atlanta to the spring game, the
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 4: Washington Spring game, and I was asked it was it
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 4: was a former Husky quarterback event, kind of a charity thing,
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 4: and and and so I was asked to be there,
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 4: and I had long conversations with not not real long,
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 4: but I had a nice conversation with him because I
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 4: used to play for the Falcons, and he asked me
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 4: a lot of questions and and and I've had a
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 4: number of conversations. I couldn't be he couldn't be more
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 4: delightful in my opinion. So so I just don't think
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 4: that guy has the wiring we know him from watching
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 4: the Huskies. Uh, he doesn't have the type of wiring
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 4: to be you know, you know, you know, stirring up
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 4: stuff that that isn't there. You know, I will add,
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 4: you know, with this mcl when in talking to him,
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 4: I and that's not the first time I have when
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 4: I talked to him. I feel like he's kind of small,
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 4: he's kind of you know, he's kind of slight. I mean,
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 4: I think they listen at six three. I think he's
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 4: more like six two. But I just I don't There's
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 4: not a huge frame there, and so he's been injury
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 4: prone in the past. And and there is a correlation
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 4: to size and U and durability. Who's the biggest quarterback
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 4: in the league, Josh Allen? Who's the most durable quarterback
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 4: in the league? Does Josh Allen? Not to say there's
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 4: one hundred percent correlation for you, but but there is
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 4: a correlation there. And I'm concerned for him in that
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 4: regard because he's had He's had those a cls. Now
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 4: this is the opposite, but he had he had a
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 4: couple of acls in college. Now he's had in this
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 4: ACL on the next you know, I'm worried about his
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 4: frame and his durability.
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 2: Well, I think the other topic is the offense, and
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 2: I think that he's going to have an offensive head
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 2: coach next year. I would be stunned if the Atlanta
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 2: Falcons don'ts surround him and be Jon Robinson with more
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 2: of an offensive minded head coach this offseason. All Right,
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 2: speaking of offense, the last couple of minutes of our
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 2: segment x IS and O segment with Hugh. How do
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 2: you see the matchup between Sam and the Gang versus
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 2: the Atlanta Falcons.
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 4: Well, I think it's a good test because they from
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 4: a scheme standpoint, they do some of this, there's some
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 4: similarities with what the Vikings did, and there's some all
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 4: the things that Seattle need to clean up. They're gonna
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 4: have somewhat of a test this Sunday that the Falcons
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 4: the opponent percent of past attempts resulting in sacks. I'm
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 4: reading from the NFL stat portal. Uh, the Falcons are
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 4: third last week the percentage of defensive plays from the
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 4: three to four. The Vikings were number one. Well, the
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 4: Falcons are six in that regard the percentative of plays
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 4: where the defense brings five plus rushers. Okay, remember the
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 4: rushing problems that we saw against the Vikings. Well, the
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 4: Falcons are second in the NFL in that regard. So
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 4: they're they're gonna and they're fourth in the use of
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 4: six rushers. But now here's the difference. The Falcons don't
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 4: like to bring a defensive back when they rush, it's
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 4: from their front seven, you know. In in this Zexas
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 4: knows it. A lot of teams use the term blitz
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 4: to describe a general blitz a dog to describe a
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 4: specifically a linebacker like a dog is not a dB blitzing.
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 4: And so when you talk when we talk about this
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 4: percentage of five plus rushers being second in the NFL,
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 4: but they're twenty sixth in the NFL in use of
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 4: a dB rushing, that means all of their pressures are
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 4: coming from dogs, not secondary blitz. Got me. And so,
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 4: but the percentage of plays that that result in negative
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 4: play for negative EPA for the offense on these blitzes,
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 4: the Falcons are tied with the Seattle Seahawks. They are
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 4: both number one in the NFL. Let me repeat that again,
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 4: the percentage of plays when when you do bring a
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 4: dB that rushing that result in a negative EPA for
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 4: the offense. And I just read off the NFL stat
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 4: Seax and Falcons are tied. They're both at sixty seven percent.
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 4: So there's going to be some blitzing. Seattle's got to
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 4: have have done their walkthroughs, their meeting time to to
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 4: sort out their rules, how they're going to direct the center,
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 4: they're going to send the running back in the center
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 4: to the same side. Well, if they do that, then
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 4: they may be vulnerable to a three week but they
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 4: may be able to pick up what are obvious blitz
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 4: whatever their plan is. They we have seen really big
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 4: one week changes on the defensive side of the ball.
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 4: I referenced the Bills from a year ago. I referenced
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 4: the Buccaneers from this year and by the way, but
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 4: the defensive collapse against the Buccaneers was worse than any
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 4: defense any game the Lob ever had. But getting back
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 4: to us the coaching, so we've seen the change from
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 4: the coaching on the defensive side. Now is a great
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 4: opportunity for Clint Kubiak. I know that he works in
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 4: conjunction with Mike McDonald, Like, hey, what makes sound sense
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 4: because McDonald has this wonderful genius way of looking at defense.
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 4: So they've collaborated. Let's see what they do from a
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 4: plan standpoint to handle a defense that has some similarities
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 4: to Falcons with what we saw last week the Vikings.
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 2: Awesome stuff, man, Thank you very much. Enjoy all the
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 2: football and we'll do this.
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 4: I yes, yeah, you bet, it's going to be with
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 4: you all right.

  Speaker 2: Oh every Friday, the chance to chat with the great

  Speaker 2: Mike Holmgrin right here on the program. And once again,

  Speaker 2: no Bucky here today, so coach can finally just be

  Speaker 2: himself here today.
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 4: Doesn't have to worry about that.
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 3: I'm so relaxed. It's so good, well.
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 4: Great to have you with us.
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 2: I want I want to ask you about ball security
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 2: with a quarterback, because on one hand, the ratio of
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 2: Sam getting hit and coughing up the ball is way
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 2: too high. On the other hand, man, obviously quarterbacks have
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 2: to approach. I mean, they they can't tuck the ball
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 2: under their arm like a running back and it doesn't
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 2: look like anything if there's anything that he's doing wrong
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 2: other than the fact that the stats say you're fumbling
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 2: when you get hit too frequently.
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 4: So how do you fix that?
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 2: How would you go about fixing that in a quarterback
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 2: to try to try to curb that in the future.
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Well, actually, when you when you study it and
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 3: look at the film and stuff, you have to make
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 3: sure that you're being everyone's being honest about what's happening.
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 3: I mean, is it his fault? It could it have
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 3: been avoided by doing something else? Sometimes yes, sometimes no,
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 3: it's it's just going to happen. But having said that,
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 3: if it's an issue and it's happening too much, then
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 3: there are drills that you do at practice and maybe
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 3: after practice or before practice whatever, where you have guys
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 3: with bags on either side of the quarterback when he's
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 3: dropping back and then as he steps up, you're punching
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 3: him with the with the bags and trying to knock
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 3: the ball out, so he gets the feel of what
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 3: that's like and what he has to do to hold
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 3: onto the football. Other than that, Other than that, I
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 3: don't have an answer for you. But you can do
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 3: drills that that kind of get him, get him feeling
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 3: properly about putting the ball away.
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 2: And he also has the interceptions more than you'd like
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 2: to see from him at the point of the year.
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 2: And yet I don't want to change the aggression by
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 2: which Sam Donold's play in the position. He looks like
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 2: a confident gun slinging quarterback. That's almost all the time's
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 2: throwing the right spot. So is that anything that has
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 2: you concerned or would your marching orders just be be you,
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 2: just be you?
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 3: Well again, you analyze the throws and if the judgment
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 3: is very poor and when he does it, then you've
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 3: got to fix that. You absolutely have to talk about
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 3: it and fix it. I think most of the people
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 3: are reacting Chuck to uh, you know, when we've talked
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 3: about it for a long time on the show. When
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 3: he threw the four interceptions, that's that's unusual. That doesn't
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 3: usually happen, So why did it happen? Fix that and
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 3: then move on. I honestly, I don't worry too much
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 3: about his play. I think they're very fortunate to Sea
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 3: Owks to have him right now as their quarterback. And
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 3: as he goes, that's what people, I think probably are thinking.
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 3: As he goes, so goes the team. Now we have
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 3: a great defense. But he has to play well, and
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 3: I think he will.
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 2: You know, I doubt Jerry was ever held to two
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 2: catches in a game. Doesn't feel like he was. And
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 2: yet JSN having this historic season, just two catches at
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 2: a really difficult time getting him going last week? Is
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 2: this a special assignment of yours to make sure that
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 2: that does not happen again? And we suddenly end up
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 2: with a trend here?
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 7: Absolutely?
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 3: I mean you're looking at excuse me, you're looking at
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 3: that game.
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 7: Was he open?
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 3: Did they make poor reads? Should they have thrown the
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 3: ball to him? If that wasn't the case, if the
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 3: decisions were good, he just was covered, then you got
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 3: to figure out new ways to motion him, get him open,
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 3: because if he if he played for me, I would
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 3: have on my sheet plays for him. Not every player
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 3: gets those Jerry Rice got them, Sterling Sharp got them.
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 3: You have a special player. You have to be ready
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 3: to dial up his number to get him touches. And yeah,
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 3: that's two catches for him. With the season he's having,
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 3: that's very very unusual. Now, maybe the pressure got so
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 3: much and they couldn't handle the Vikings early and then
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 3: they got the big lead, so they didn't throw it
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 3: as much. That factors into but you got to get
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 3: him his touches.
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 4: You're not worried at all.
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 2: I've heard the phrase blueprint that maybe Brian Floores has
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 2: shown the league the blueprint for how to slow down
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 2: the Seattle Seahawks offense.
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 4: Do you buy into that?
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 2: Do you have any worry that maybe some of the
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 2: ways that this team was operating so successfully offensively that
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 2: halfway through the season, defensive coordinators have kind of figured
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 2: out what they're doing.
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 3: I don't think so. I don't think so. I think
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 3: in any particular game there might be reasons why the
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 3: numbers aren't what they should be. And Jinman did not
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 3: get his touches. They didn't throw many passes, not a
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 3: lot of yards. But that was one game. Generally speaking,
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 3: it hasn't been that way so give Brian Floyd's credit
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 3: and give the Vikings credit for what they did. They
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 3: have a very good pass rush. But no, I don't.
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 3: It's that's what coaching is. You know, someone you have
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 3: a game like that, and all of a sudden you
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 3: analyze and go, Okay, that's where we might have done
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 3: something a little different. Now we're going to do different.
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 3: So it changes from week to week. I don't think
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 3: anyone can draw up a blueprints how to stop this team.
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 2: Mike Homeran is with us for his normal nine to
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 2: thirty segment every Friday here on a football Friday. Kirk
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 2: Cousins is at a heck of a career. He does
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 2: not look like he still has it. And yet what
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 2: concerns should you have over a guy with that much experience,
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 2: that kind of guile, that kind of leadership that he's
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 2: shown over his career. Does a Kirk Cousins worry you
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 2: at all? Going into this game?
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 3: You know what, Chuck, I was thinking, excuse me, that
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 3: having him play could be a really good thing for Atlanta,
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 3: you know, because of the things you mentioned. Now he's
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 3: not the same player he was five six years ago,
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 3: but he is a veteran he knows how to play
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 3: the game, he knows when to deliver the ball, and
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 3: they've got a great running attack. So it's not all
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 3: on his shoulders. But you know, in some respects, having
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 3: a veteran quarterback come in understanding the Seahawks defense maybe
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 3: perhaps a little bit better than a young quarterback would,
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 3: even as guy is talented. His penix, you know, might
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 3: be a benefit to Atlanta. So I was thinking that
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 3: the Seahawks have to go in there and they've got
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 3: to play a really good, solid football game again, because
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 3: I think Cousins is going to play well.
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 4: Yeah at B John Robinson, he's special.
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 7: Man.
• 1:14:04
  Speaker 2: If you'd have had him, how many catches would you
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 2: have gotten him in a season, not just carrying the ball,
• 1:14:09
  Speaker 2: but catching the ball. He's excellent at it. I mean
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 2: you didn't You and Bill Watsh pretty much invent throwing
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 2: the ball the running.
• 1:14:15
  Speaker 4: Backs out of the backfield.
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 2: But you know, how would you have used a weapon
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 2: like this guy?
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 3: Well, I would. I would give Bill credit. I wouldn't
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 3: take the credit for that. But you know, the West
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 3: Coast offense, that's what it was. You know, they went
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 3: through a stretch the forty nine ers before I got
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 3: there where you know, they're running game. They just couldn't
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 3: get it going, and so they substituted at a number
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 3: of runs for six yard throws and it worked for
• 1:14:45
  Speaker 3: him and that became the West Coast offense. And yeah,
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 3: if you got a back. Roger Craig's up for the
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 3: Hall of Fame this year, and he could catch the
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 3: ball and do all those things, and that's really real
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 3: a positive thing for your offense. So yeah, that's another
• 1:15:03
  Speaker 3: reason why this game, this game, I don't think it's
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 3: going to be anything like the Minnesota game as far
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 3: as the offense is concerned. But the Seahawks have to
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 3: bring it on defense.
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 2: And you got all the holiday stuff up. That's all
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 2: been done now, right, correct?
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 7: Yeah, we did.
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 3: We did the Christmas tree looks beautiful. Kathy dex Ray
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 3: decorates to the rest of the house, and we did
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 3: it appropriately when the time was right. You know, you
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 3: have Thanksgiving, then you do it, okay, And I'm not
• 1:15:34
  Speaker 3: gonna I'm not gonna do all on that too much
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 3: because I think my my plea falls on deaf ears.
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 2: Are you one of the types that has to be
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 2: told by Kathy Hey? The candy canes are for decoration.
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 2: Stop taking them off the tree and eating them.
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 7: Are you? Are you one of those tacks I used
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 7: to be.
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 3: I'm better now, you know, but I learned my lesson.
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 3: How many times can you get spanked on the hand,
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 3: you know, for doing.
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 7: Something like that?
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 2: Just leave him up, all right, coach. We'll enjoy the
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 2: weekend and we'll talk to you on Monday.
• 1:16:05
