  Speaker 1: As part of our nonstop coverage of the NFL, your
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: home for the 12th man proudly presents Chuck in the
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: Morning's Monday Morning Quarterback with Hugh Millen. Brought to you
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: by Muckleshoot Bingo and by the Evergreen Council on Problem Gambling.
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: It's the MMQB on Sports Radio 93.3 KJR FM.
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: All right, 9 o'clock hour, which means hour number two
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: with our Monday morning quarterback session starring our Monday morning quarterback,
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: Hugh Millen.
• 0:30
  Speaker 3: With us here again.
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: And we've already covered a lot of ground in discussing
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: last night's 20-3 impressive win over the Kansas City Chiefs
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: on Sunday night football.
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: It was all clicking.
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: If we've been waiting for that complete game from the
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: Seahawks here in 2026, we got it last night at
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: the expense of Patrick Mahomes, Andy Reid, Ken Walker III,
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: and the Kansas City Chiefs.
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: Very impressive.
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: When we've talked about Mike McDonald's role in all of
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: this in our first hour, spent a lot of time
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: on Nick Emanwuri's brilliant game, discussed Leonard Williams, the modern-day
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: Hafthor Bjornsson, you know, strong man, Leonard Williams, in our
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: first hour together. And we just kind of touched upon
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: the offense, at least the passing game, which we're going
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: to now dive into here in our second hour with Hugh.
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: So I thought Sam was great.
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: I mean, yes, he had the interception at the end
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: of the first half, but I thought he was putting
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: on a laser show last night. He was just lasering
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: completions all night long. Hugh, I thought that was clearly
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: the best Sam Darnold performance of the year.
• 1:37
  Speaker 4: Yeah, this year, to that end, the QBR, the ESPN,
• 1:42
  Speaker 4: that complicated formula that they have, I liken it to
• 1:47
  Speaker 4: the Kentucky Fried Chicken formula. Nobody knows it, but there's
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: a lot that goes into it. It includes your scrambles.
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: It includes your sacks, what have you. Third down conversions
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: are more important, that type of thing, in general. Matthew
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: Stafford's MVP season last year, he did not have a
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: game that was 90 or higher. And his season was
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: 72 QBR. Remember now, this is not passer rating. Last night,
• 2:17
  Speaker 4: Darnold had a 92.
• 2:19
  Speaker 5: Wow.
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: To put it in context. So yeah, you're right. He
• 2:24
  Speaker 4: was ripping it. He was making good decisions. I dare
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: say even if you told if you told Mike McDonald,
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: this is the Sam Darnold you're going to get every week,
• 2:36
  Speaker 4: I think he would take it, even with that interception,
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: because you had enough production. He kept the sticks moving.
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: It allows you to really help the time of possession
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: by going 11 to 16, and we'll get into how
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: historic that was. Um, but yeah, I, I, I, I
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: thought his, his decisions throwing the ball over the middle, middle,
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: very anticipatory. There weren't any real sideline throws. Obviously the
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: go routes are to the sideline, but, but all of the,
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: the real sideline throws were just, you know, five yard, uh, little, uh,
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: Omaha routes, you know, um, there was nothing of any consequence, uh,
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: outside the numbers, you know, outbreaking routes and weren't corner
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: routes and comebacks and what have you. all the impressive
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: throws were in the middle and, and, and he was
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: really seeing it and, and not hesitating. Just let it rip.
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah.
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: Well, let's talk about a couple of those connections with JSN.
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: Let's go to the touchdown that made it 10, nothing,
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: unless there's someplace you want to start before.
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: You know, I really, you know, I've, I've got, I
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: literally have notes on every freaking pass, but how do
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: we do that on radio? You know, there's, There's one
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: play that I think really was indicative of how the
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: Chiefs struggled to cover that dude because they resorted. Now,
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: I'm about to use a term that is not ubiquitous
• 4:08
  Speaker 4: in terms of at a coaching convention, a high school, college,
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: or pro coaching convention. It's a term that some people use,
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: but not everybody. Like if I said post or cover
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: one or cover two, there's a lot of, terminology that
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: everybody knows it's ubiquitous throughout coaching and football when i
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: say cover seven it's not ubiquitous but i've been on
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: teams that you know they might call it something else
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: cover seven when i see it what that means it's man.
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: To man.
• 4:40
  Speaker 4: But you are uh you're bracketing one guy You are
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: in and out on one guy and everybody else is solo.
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: Does that make sense? And so we saw not only
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: did we see a cover seven, but we saw it
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: with a four man rush. And so the Chiefs could
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: play with the post safety. And you can play, let
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: me just think about the math. If you want to
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: play man-to-man, you can play all five eligible receivers man-to-man.
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: You can rush five, and you can have a free
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: safety in the middle. Now, if you want to only
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: rush four, you can say, I'm going to have a
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: deep free safety and then a low hole player who's
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: like a shallow free safety, hanging around about five yards
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: from the line of scrimmage. But that's not what they
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: were doing. Um, they, they, they had a snap or
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: two of that, but they were taking, instead of having
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: a low hole player, like, like cover one with the
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: four man rush, they were going cover seven and they
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: were bracketing on JSN. And there was a, uh, a
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: play there, uh, 33 yards in the, I believe in
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: the second quarter, 37, 47 yard line, 33 yard completion.
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: Yep.
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: And, and, and you had here, you had a 38
• 6:01
  Speaker 4: for them. their corner, Legereus Sneed, he tried to jam him,
• 6:10
  Speaker 4: knowing that he had help behind him in the person
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: of Alahi Gilman, the safety behind him. And so he
• 6:19
  Speaker 4: tried to get a smack at the line, but JSN
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: missed it, evaded him, got inside, Darnold hit him. And now,
• 6:29
  Speaker 4: not only did it happen so fast, he ran away
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: from Snead, who tried to jam him, he ran away
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: from Gilman, who's coming from the top down, made the
• 6:39
  Speaker 4: free safety miss and went up the right sideline, even
• 6:42
  Speaker 4: though he had started on the left side. Like, like
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: if you, if you're watching the tape there and Spagnola
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: would have the, the, uh, the Microsoft surface to look
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: at that, like what, what, what in the hell we're like,
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: it's like Keystone cops. We can't cover this guy because,
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: because we're going cover seven and, And we still are
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: giving up 33 yards to this guy, and he's open immediately.
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: And so that was indicative. They were doing– they're playing zones.
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: The first pass of the game, they played cover three zones.
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: The curl flat player just chased JSN. So that's a zone,
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: three deep zone, 400 zone, but nope, they're taking one
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: of the players in Manning.
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: They played a quarters, four deep defense. were three under.
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: And instead of rushing four, they only rushed three.
• 7:36
  Speaker 4: And they had one guy, everybody else is playing zone,
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: but they had one guy chasing JSN. It's like, it's like,
• 7:42
  Speaker 4: remember when you played a high school basketball box in one,
• 7:45
  Speaker 4: you know, you played a box in one on the
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: best player, you know, everybody's playing zone, but you just,
• 7:49
  Speaker 4: you just follow their best player. They were doing stuff
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: like box in one with different coverages and sometimes only
• 7:56
  Speaker 4: rushing three to do it. So they probably made schematically, uh,
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: The biggest effort that anybody has, the most variety that
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: anybody tried to stop JSN, and yet it was arguably
• 8:12
  Speaker 4: his best game. So at any event, that's some thoughts
• 8:16
  Speaker 4: before we get to the go routes.
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah, just to clear it up, I never had the
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: boxing one played on me, but I was the one.
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: defensively that had.
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: To chase the best star of the other team how'd
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: that go for you uh pretty well pretty well i
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: but every fan base hated me uh because of that
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: because i was too i played defense uh anyway uh
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: let's get into um let's get into the touchdown then
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: um and this was after that barner wide open miss
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: by sam darnley comes back with the the 28 yard
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: touchdown um to make it 10 to nothing And it
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: looked like Kansas City just decided we're going to line
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: up against the 11 man-to-man. And you could hear Chris
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: Collins were like groan before the snap even took place. Like, oh,
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: this isn't smart. And sure enough, Darnold to JSN for
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: the touchdown.
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: What'd you see?
• 9:05
  Speaker 4: Well, first of all, the ball's on the left hash.
• 9:08
  Speaker 4: And JSN is the X receiver. He's the solo side receiver.
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: But he's in a cut split. He's in what's called
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: a minus one split. So the numbers, the bottom of
• 9:21
  Speaker 4: the numbers are 12 yards from the sideline in the NFL,
• 9:24
  Speaker 4: seven yards in college, but we'll stick to, and the
• 9:28
  Speaker 4: numbers are exactly two yards high. So the numbers, bottom
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: of the numbers are 12 yards. Top of the numbers
• 9:33
  Speaker 4: are 14 yards. When JSN is in a minus one split,
• 9:37
  Speaker 4: he's 15 yards from the sideline. He's damn near, he
• 9:41
  Speaker 4: could scratch Charles Cross's back. He's so close to the
• 9:45
  Speaker 4: left tackle. So that's key there in terms of the alignment.
• 9:52
  Speaker 4: And for Darnold, it's an easier throw. We already talked
• 9:55
  Speaker 4: in the first segment about that slot fade so the
• 9:57
  Speaker 4: farther your go route is by alignment from the sideline
• 10:02
  Speaker 4: where you're going in closer to the ball, the more
• 10:04
  Speaker 4: space you have. But Kansas City comes out in a
• 10:07
  Speaker 4: cover zero. They showed it cover zero. Some people call
• 10:10
  Speaker 4: it casino. There's a lot of different terms for me.
• 10:13
  Speaker 4: There's no safety. OK, so it's it's just man to man.
• 10:19
  Speaker 4: There's no safety to get over the top. That would
• 10:24
  Speaker 4: be a contradiction of terms. There's no cloud associated. There's
• 10:29
  Speaker 4: no safety to get over the top. That would be
• 10:33
  Speaker 4: like describing a four-sided triangle. Once you say cover zero,
• 10:41
  Speaker 4: a free safety getting over the top and certainly cloud
• 10:45
  Speaker 4: would be as opposite as you could have. You would
• 10:47
  Speaker 4: never put the those terms in the same sentence. So,
• 10:52
  Speaker 4: so this is cover zero unequivocally. I mean, you had Jay,
• 10:59
  Speaker 4: the only way you could possibly be confused is if
• 11:01
  Speaker 4: you saw Cooper cup, who was, who had a deep OTB,
• 11:05
  Speaker 4: which is an over the ball route and Noel Williams,
• 11:07
  Speaker 4: the safety was, was covering him in again, cover zero,
• 11:11
  Speaker 4: which is man to man with no free safety. It
• 11:13
  Speaker 4: is man to man, no safeties help.
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: And so.
• 11:20
  Speaker 4: What the Chiefs did is they just took a guy
• 11:23
  Speaker 4: in Montsour, Delane, who after letting go Trent McDuffie and
• 11:31
  Speaker 4: two other guys in their secondary, they had the ninth
• 11:35
  Speaker 4: pick in the draft. They traded up to the sixth
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: overall pick in the draft, and they took Delane out
• 11:40
  Speaker 4: of LSU. The dude is a baller. He's a hell
• 11:43
  Speaker 4: of a player. I really like him. He's a feisty competitor.
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: He's skilled. He's physical.
• 11:49
  Speaker 4: And obviously Spagnuolo likes him too because he thought he
• 11:53
  Speaker 4: could handle him. But JSN, he can shred anybody on
• 11:59
  Speaker 4: the planet because his release is so effective. His long
• 12:05
  Speaker 4: speed is good enough. And then his ball tracking is elite. his,
• 12:10
  Speaker 4: his finishing ability is elite, uh, in the contested catches
• 12:14
  Speaker 4: area on the long ball.
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: Um, you know, he's just, he's just the maestro out there.
• 12:19
  Speaker 4: And, uh, and, but I think that the, the, the
• 12:23
  Speaker 4: split is important for, for, you know, cause, cause the reason, uh,
• 12:29
  Speaker 4: that Darnold felt like he could, Hey, Hey, I've got
• 12:32
  Speaker 4: plenty of space here. Uh, you know, I can just,
• 12:35
  Speaker 4: I can fade it to the sideline because he caught it, what,
• 12:38
  Speaker 4: a yard or.
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: Two from the sideline?
• 12:40
  Speaker 4: Well, if his original alignment was 15 yards from the
• 12:43
  Speaker 4: sideline and he caught it, obviously he's gaining about 13
• 12:47
  Speaker 4: yards of width, which fits the quarterback's eye. Now, the
• 12:50
  Speaker 4: other part of it, it was not a one-step drop.
• 12:53
  Speaker 4: It was a three-step drop. And by the way, nice
• 12:57
  Speaker 4: job by Helani to come across the formation and pick
• 13:01
  Speaker 4: up a linebacker.
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: All right, George. By George.
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 13:06
  Speaker 4: But, but they still had, they still had four week
• 13:12
  Speaker 4: and the center, you know, Seattle only had three guys going. So, so,
• 13:16
  Speaker 4: so Jason, Jalen Sandell, he did the best he could
• 13:20
  Speaker 4: to block two guys, but 91. Uh, Felix, I'm not
• 13:25
  Speaker 4: even going to go there.
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: Just 91.
• 13:26
  Speaker 4: Um, only Tariko can do that.
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 13:30
  Speaker 5: Anders.
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 13:31
  Speaker 4: Give it a shot, man. I like, I want to
• 13:33
  Speaker 4: laugh at you instead of you laugh at me. Um, but,
• 13:36
  Speaker 4: but whoever 91 is, give it a shot.
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: Come on now.
• 13:38
  Speaker 5: I don't know who 91 is.
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: Pull it up.
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: Molotov or something like that.
• 13:43
  Speaker 4: Anudike uzama uzoma i don't know i don't know uh
• 13:49
  Speaker 4: leave it to uh elise woodward the pros okay uh
• 13:52
  Speaker 4: to get those names oh boy all right there you
• 13:56
  Speaker 4: go you dunked on me good flex um because i
• 14:00
  Speaker 4: wasn't gonna try it but anyways he came unblocked and
• 14:03
  Speaker 4: uh and donald had to go three steps and uh Uh, and,
• 14:08
  Speaker 4: and you could even say four because he likes to
• 14:11
  Speaker 4: take a little, uh, cheat step with his left foot. So, so, uh,
• 14:14
  Speaker 4: he gets it, but just perfect ball placement and you're,
• 14:17
  Speaker 4: you're throwing to, you know, the best closer in the business, uh,
• 14:21
  Speaker 4: on the other end of the pass. Uh, and so, so, uh,
• 14:25
  Speaker 4: you know, it's, it's cover zero. It's cause called casino
• 14:28
  Speaker 4: for a reason. Cause you've like your pot committed. If
• 14:30
  Speaker 4: you're Steve Spagnola and you, you know, you know what
• 14:33
  Speaker 4: you bet on the wrong hand, Steve.
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: And, uh, you know, there you go. Yeah.
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: He had the 28-yarder later, which was kind of similar
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: to it.
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: Very similar.
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and Collinsworth went out of his way to talk
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: about how great a pass it was, and it was
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: a phenomenal pass. 10 out of 10. That said, I
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: made this point earlier. jsn can't bobble that either one
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: of those catches at all i mean those high arcing
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: passes in that short little window they have to stick
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: in his hands he's got to like catch it as
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: it touches his hands i think that is just such
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: an incredible skill i'm not sure many um possess it
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: better than what he does it's just like it just
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: adheres to his hands uh you know in those moments.
• 15:19
  Speaker 4: You just said it better than I could have said it.
• 15:21
  Speaker 4: I can't add to that. I will just say along
• 15:24
  Speaker 4: those lines, I find myself... Now, I know that prudence
• 15:29
  Speaker 4: dictates that we've got to let this thing play out
• 15:32
  Speaker 4: for five more years at least. But I will just
• 15:35
  Speaker 4: tell you, I frequently find myself as a Seattle native
• 15:40
  Speaker 4: and who went to the very first Seahawks.
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: Game as a sophomore or.
• 15:47
  Speaker 4: I don't know if it was a sophomore or freshman
• 15:49
  Speaker 4: in high school, whatever I was, and have been a
• 15:52
  Speaker 4: Seahawks fan forever, I frequently find myself saying, does this
• 15:57
  Speaker 4: guy do his job better than any player who's ever
• 15:59
  Speaker 4: worn a Seahawks uniform? And I know that, again, I
• 16:03
  Speaker 4: know that to make definitive statements like that, we got
• 16:07
  Speaker 4: to wait a few years. But I'm just telling you,
• 16:10
  Speaker 4: I ask myself that. Because last night was just indescribable.
• 16:17
  Speaker 4: what he did, the entire array of skill set for
• 16:21
  Speaker 4: a wide receiver. I played with 10 Pro Bowl receivers,
• 16:24
  Speaker 4: and I just can't stop marveling at this guy. And
• 16:29
  Speaker 4: his ability to close by the way on that, the ball,
• 16:32
  Speaker 4: in contrast to the first go route, even though they're
• 16:35
  Speaker 4: very similar, there was, this ball was on the right hash,
• 16:42
  Speaker 4: and instead of a minus one split, it was a
• 16:44
  Speaker 4: plus three split. Um, uh, uh, and so that was
• 16:52
  Speaker 4: probably nine yards from the, the sideline. And so it
• 16:57
  Speaker 4: was a more difficult throw, but he walked it to him.
• 17:00
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 17:01
  Speaker 4: And, uh, um, that, that was a, that was a
• 17:04
  Speaker 4: cover one with one free safety. Um, and, and also
• 17:09
  Speaker 4: a low hole player on that. But anyways, it was
• 17:12
  Speaker 4: man to man with again, monster, um, Delane. Montsour Delane.
• 17:19
  Speaker 4: And they were both man to man. The first one
• 17:23
  Speaker 4: did not have a free safety at all. The second
• 17:26
  Speaker 4: one did. But again, the splits were far different and
• 17:29
  Speaker 4: more difficult for the quarterback. He didn't get the touchdown
• 17:32
  Speaker 4: out of it, but that's a more difficult throw. I
• 17:34
  Speaker 4: think all quarterbacks would agree with me on that. And
• 17:38
  Speaker 4: so just just exquisite, you know, high level professional football.
• 17:43
  Speaker 4: That's all you can say. I mean, that is pro
• 17:45
  Speaker 4: football at its very best. You can't be better. There's
• 17:50
  Speaker 4: nobody on the– but Josh Allen back there, whoever you
• 17:53
  Speaker 4: think is the best quarterback in the league, if they
• 17:57
  Speaker 4: made that throw, you would say that's why he's Josh Allen.
• 18:01
  Speaker 4: Or that's why he's fill-in-the-blank Tom Brady. That's why he's
• 18:05
  Speaker 4: Pat Mahomes. That's why he's Matthew Stafford. That is big-time
• 18:10
  Speaker 4: elite stuff, but you're right. Throwing to JSN, just remarkable.
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah, just great football.
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: All right, we'll save the third down. I want to
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: talk about third downs with you in the next segment.
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: We've got like two minutes here. Can we rake Sam
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: over the coals on that interception for two minutes here?
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: What happened on that play? Why did we have.
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: To go into halftime feeling crappy when you played such
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: a good first half?
• 18:36
  Speaker 4: Well, okay, so to Sam's left, here's my theory. I
• 18:42
  Speaker 4: wouldn't die on a beach on this one. I'd bet
• 18:47
  Speaker 4: maybe a steak dinner, but not my pension on this.
• 18:51
  Speaker 4: Here's what makes sense to me. Sam, he looked, and again,
• 18:56
  Speaker 4: the first play of the third quarter, and I know
• 18:58
  Speaker 4: this is in their playbook because I see it on tape.
• 19:02
  Speaker 4: They have a smash concept where they want somebody in
• 19:05
  Speaker 4: the flat end to the corner. And in this case,
• 19:08
  Speaker 4: I think what happened is JSN, they wanted him on
• 19:11
  Speaker 4: the outbreaking route, but the way the chiefs reacted to the,
• 19:16
  Speaker 4: to the motion and the way they took the, the
• 19:19
  Speaker 4: safety and put it all the way over to the
• 19:22
  Speaker 4: opposite side, over to Shahid, what jsn felt like is
• 19:26
  Speaker 4: he as he went up the field he's like wait
• 19:29
  Speaker 4: i've got a defender way on my outside leverage if
• 19:32
  Speaker 4: i run a corner route i'm just gonna run right
• 19:35
  Speaker 4: into him but i just saw the safety in the
• 19:38
  Speaker 4: middle of the field vacate go to the other side
• 19:40
  Speaker 4: of the formation if i go into the middle of
• 19:43
  Speaker 4: the field to the back and sam sees it we've
• 19:46
  Speaker 4: got a wide open touchdown and so i understand, like,
• 19:51
  Speaker 4: he's not the only brilliant receiver to try and play
• 19:53
  Speaker 4: off script. and touchdowns happen because you're on the same page.
• 19:59
  Speaker 4: So Sam comes back.
• 20:00
  Speaker 5: He looks.
• 20:00
  Speaker 4: He's got two out-breaking routes to his left, and then
• 20:03
  Speaker 4: he's got Rashid Shaheed coming to the inside. He's got
• 20:07
  Speaker 4: Barnard to the inside. So there's a term in vision
• 20:12
  Speaker 4: called saccade your eyes. You look to the out-breaking stuff
• 20:16
  Speaker 4: to the left, and then you come back into the
• 20:18
  Speaker 4: in-breaking stuff. It doesn't make sense that you would have
• 20:21
  Speaker 4: JSN running in-breaking route, right into Rasheed Shaheed also. So
• 20:27
  Speaker 4: when I look at the concept, all the other four people,
• 20:31
  Speaker 4: and we go by JSN said he screwed over, he
• 20:36
  Speaker 4: said that last night, and Sam thanked him for being
• 20:39
  Speaker 4: a good teammate. They both tried to downplay it. But
• 20:43
  Speaker 4: I think, so here's my final analysis on what happened.
• 20:47
  Speaker 4: Sam goes back. JSN isn't doing what he expects him
• 20:52
  Speaker 4: to do. Now he starts holding the ball.
• 20:54
  Speaker 3: He gets antsy. He looks over in the middle of
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: the field.
• 20:57
  Speaker 4: And he says, hey, I know I've got Shahid coming
• 20:59
  Speaker 4: in the back angle. That could be a touchdown. but
• 21:03
  Speaker 4: he's late because of all the confusion. Now Charles Cross
• 21:07
  Speaker 4: gets beat by Karloftis, and as he throws it, he
• 21:11
  Speaker 4: gets hit.
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: The facts are the facts.
• 21:13
  Speaker 4: That ball was impacted because he got hit. Same way
• 21:16
  Speaker 4: Pat Mahomes' interception was impacted by Eamon Worry hitting him.
• 21:22
  Speaker 3: That's what happens. You hit a quarterback when he throws,
• 21:24
  Speaker 3: the ball's not going to be where it wants to be. OK, right.
• 21:29
  Speaker 4: It's really kind of indisputable. Now, you could say Sam
• 21:32
  Speaker 4: should have known things, you know, abort, pull the parachute.
• 21:36
  Speaker 4: I'm not saying Sam shouldn't be criticized on this because
• 21:40
  Speaker 4: he's holding the keys to the car. But but a
• 21:43
  Speaker 4: lot of things were happening that were not expected. And
• 21:48
  Speaker 4: and then finally, I would just say this, Rashid Shaheed,
• 21:52
  Speaker 4: it's like, you know, it's like there's, there's one pie
• 21:56
  Speaker 4: in the receiver room for receiver instincts and JSN is
• 22:01
  Speaker 4: eating the whole damn pie. And he's not sharing, you know,
• 22:04
  Speaker 4: obviously Cooper, I mean, just between he and like somehow
• 22:08
  Speaker 4: like boarding house pie, like, like, JSN went and ate
• 22:12
  Speaker 4: most of it and Cooper Cup already, you know, he's
• 22:14
  Speaker 4: already ate so much of that pie from years ago
• 22:17
  Speaker 4: that he doesn't. But Shahid, there's nothing left for Shahid
• 22:21
  Speaker 4: because of all the brilliance I see in his instincts
• 22:25
  Speaker 4: in JSN, Shahid is like the inverse. And he's got
• 22:30
  Speaker 4: an in-breaking route. Dude, you've got to freaking cut off
• 22:33
  Speaker 4: that defender. Don't lose game ground to the back. You've
• 22:38
  Speaker 4: got to lose ground towards the line of scrimmage. Cut
• 22:41
  Speaker 4: the defender off. High point the ball. He goes back.
• 22:44
  Speaker 4: He's fading away. He actually jumps backwards. where he should
• 22:50
  Speaker 4: be going forward, have a sense of where the defender
• 22:53
  Speaker 4: is like his, his instincts relative to, to the, the
• 23:00
  Speaker 4: defenders and where the ball is. It's just, it's, it's almost,
• 23:04
  Speaker 4: it's painful. And so she, he, if I'm a receiver coach,
• 23:09
  Speaker 4: that is a, at least a minus I can be
• 23:12
  Speaker 4: talked into a double minus easily on that play. He's
• 23:15
  Speaker 4: just gotta be better. He has to be better. Now,
• 23:19
  Speaker 4: I'm not absolving Sam Darnold. Give him a double minus
• 23:23
  Speaker 4: because it's an interception. You had three points there. Thankfully,
• 23:27
  Speaker 4: it's a 58-yard field goal. Give Charles Cross credit. He
• 23:29
  Speaker 4: made the tackle. You had a net three-point loss. Could
• 23:34
  Speaker 4: have been a net six if he makes the field goal.
• 23:36
  Speaker 4: Could have been a net 10 if somehow that ball
• 23:40
  Speaker 4: gets returned. Sam's got to be better, but there's a
• 23:47
  Speaker 4: lot of moving parts on that play. And as Flory
• 23:51
  Speaker 4: and McDonald are dissecting, they're going to look and they say,
• 23:54
  Speaker 4: you know what? I understand this from Sam's perspective more
• 23:59
  Speaker 4: than I did when I saw it live.
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: Instinct pie.
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: All right. We've got more with Hugh. We'll talk about
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: the third downs. Maybe the biggest element of the game
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: last night. Statistically sports radio, 93.3 KJR FM.
• 24:21
  Speaker 3: All right, now one more segment with our QB1.
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: What a session we've had, breaking down last night's 20-3
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: victory over the Kansas City Chiefs. The Seahawks improved to
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: 4-3 on the year, and yeah, it felt like more
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: than just one win, and it was.
• 24:35
  Speaker 3: Dominant.
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: My goodness, Hugh, when Andy Reid, Patrick Mahomes, Ken Walker,
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: and Travis Kelsey go three for 11 on third down
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: and the Seahawks go 11 for 16, that to me
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: is something that you circle on your team stats sheet
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: like I did in front of me. That was as
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: big a factor as anything last night.
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: You better believe it.
• 24:56
  Speaker 4: We're going to have some fun with numbers here. Steve Spagnuolo,
• 25:01
  Speaker 4: is the defensive coordinator for the Chiefs, has been for
• 25:05
  Speaker 4: the Giants and the Saints, and arguably has the greatest
• 25:12
  Speaker 4: defensive coordinator performance of all time when he was the
• 25:17
  Speaker 4: Giants defensive coordinator. They played the undefeated Patriots in the
• 25:20
  Speaker 4: Super Bowl, held them to 14 points. You say, wait
• 25:23
  Speaker 4: a minute, what about the Seahawks 43-8 against the number
• 25:26
  Speaker 4: one ranked Broncos? I'm not going to dispute you there.
• 25:30
  Speaker 4: you could make an argument that those undefeated, if you
• 25:33
  Speaker 4: look at all the offensive numbers for Brady, six one-half
• 25:40
  Speaker 4: dozen the other. But the point is Spagnuolo, he has
• 25:44
  Speaker 4: coached 243 games as a defensive coordinator, 218 in the
• 25:45
  Speaker 4: regular season, 25 in the playoffs. Of those 243, 66
• 25:47
  Speaker 4: of those games, his opponent– had 15 or more third-down opportunities.
• 26:03
  Speaker 4: Last night's 68.75% third-down conversion is tops. It's the number
• 26:12
  Speaker 4: one third-down conversion rate against Steve Spagnuolo, a four-time Super
• 26:18
  Speaker 4: Bowl winner in his entire career. Okay, that's the Spag
• 26:22
  Speaker 4: side of it. The Seattle Seahawks, let's go to the
• 26:26
  Speaker 4: Seahawks and the offense. The Seattle Seahawks in this century,
• 26:31
  Speaker 4: which obviously began in 2000 season, have played 459 games,
• 26:35
  Speaker 4: 428 regular season, 31 playoff games this century. Of those 459,
• 26:38
  Speaker 4: 111 of them have had 15 or more opportunities on
• 26:40
  Speaker 4: third down. Last night, 68.75%. is number one this century
• 27:01
  Speaker 4: in third down conversions. So when we talk about 11
• 27:05
  Speaker 4: for 16, it's easy to.
• 27:07
  Speaker 3: Say, yeah, it's pretty good. No, no, no, no. It's
• 27:10
  Speaker 3: way more than pretty.
• 27:11
  Speaker 4: Good as evidenced by those numbers. Is that fun with numbers, Anders?
• 27:16
  Speaker 4: Are we having fun with those numbers?
• 27:17
  Speaker 5: Love those numbers.
• 27:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah, come on.
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 27:21
  Speaker 3: I want to blow a kazoo.
• 27:22
  Speaker 4: Yeah. Those numbers are so fun. Get confetti popping after
• 27:27
  Speaker 4: those numbers. Isn't that cool, though?
• 27:30
  Speaker 3: Oh, yeah. Like, we knew it was good, but how
• 27:32
  Speaker 3: good is that? That sounds like historic.
• 27:35
  Speaker 5: Yeah. One would say.
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: I mean, all those plays we talked about earlier, the
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: 33-year-old play to JSN, that was on third down. That
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: was third and seventh. The touchdown, third and nine from
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: the 28th. Um, that was the, uh, past it to JSN.
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: That was on a third down the, uh, the other
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: big JSN catch was on a first down, but a
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: lot of these plays, not just the, not just the
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: success on third down, but the biggest plays of the
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: night happened by, by converting on third down.
• 28:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 28:04
  Speaker 4: Yeah. And, and I think, and all those, uh, all
• 28:08
  Speaker 4: those three yard gains we talked about, uh, you know,
• 28:11
  Speaker 4: there's 11, three yard gains in the running game.
• 28:13
  Speaker 3: The next closest was.
• 28:15
  Speaker 4: Four yard game of which there was only five, but they,
• 28:19
  Speaker 4: they just kind of just kept, you know, they, they,
• 28:22
  Speaker 4: they kept chopping wood with a, with a, a, a
• 28:25
  Speaker 4: dull bladed ax, you know, it was just barely getting bark,
• 28:29
  Speaker 4: but it was getting a little bit of bark and,
• 28:32
  Speaker 4: you know, it, it, it set them up for those,
• 28:34
  Speaker 4: that situation. And then the playmaking that, that occurred and
• 28:37
  Speaker 4: it was usually, you know, it was usually JSN who
• 28:40
  Speaker 4: was putting the ball on the ground while the referee
• 28:42
  Speaker 4: was pointing first down.
• 28:43
  Speaker 3: Right. Right. So let's, let's not, uh, yeah, let's not
• 28:49
  Speaker 3: try and make a, a wheel.
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: He had a 12 yard catch on third and 10. Uh,
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: Darnold had a 10 yard run on third and nine.
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: He had two great runs. He had two scrambles, uh, double,
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: I think double digit yards on those both. And yeah,
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: when he threw the ball out to Halani on that
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: swing route, that was, uh, That was a cover two
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: defense where, and that was one of the adjustments that
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: Spagnola made in the third quarter is he started playing
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: what's called Tampa two. It's a zone with a backer
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: deep in the middle of the hole. But in that defense,
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: the corners are up in the flat. They got a
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: safety over the top. And when they threw the ball.
• 29:33
  Speaker 4: You would say, if you told Steve Spagnola that, that, uh,
• 29:40
  Speaker 4: on this third down, we're going to throw a swing
• 29:42
  Speaker 4: pass out to Helani, you get to pick the defense.
• 29:47
  Speaker 4: He said, well, I'll just go and cover too. I'll
• 29:50
  Speaker 4: have the corner there. I'll have the hook defender coming
• 29:53
  Speaker 4: from the inside, the corner, and the safety convert. There's
• 29:56
  Speaker 4: no way they're getting the first down. And yet, They
• 29:59
  Speaker 4: played cover two, and Darnold threw it over there, and Juani,
• 30:03
  Speaker 4: I don't know, he turned into Twinkle Toes for one time.
• 30:08
  Speaker 4: One time, man, he was like Fred Flintstone, you know.
• 30:12
  Speaker 3: Oh, that's great. Trying to sneak across the batting, right?
• 30:19
  Speaker 3: You know, shaking his hips.
• 30:21
  Speaker 6: Right.
• 30:21
  Speaker 3: I don't know, man. Is he Polynesian?
• 30:24
  Speaker 7: I don't know.
• 30:24
  Speaker 4: He's got something, man. Was he doing, did he have
• 30:27
  Speaker 4: a grass skirt on making guys miss? Like, what happened?
• 30:29
  Speaker 3: How did Helani do all that? But that was beautiful.
• 30:32
  Speaker 3: That was great. Yeah.
• 30:33
  Speaker 4: I've been as critical as anybody as Alani, but that was,
• 30:37
  Speaker 4: you go, boy. Yeah, there you go. Well, impressive stuff.
• 30:42
  Speaker 4: That was fun.
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: We did a Monday morning quarterback session with pretty much
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: nothing but great things.
• 30:46
  Speaker 3: To talk about here today. Love it. It's going to
• 30:50
  Speaker 3: be a fun week, right?
• 30:51
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 30:51
  Speaker 3: And the Bears.
• 30:52
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 30:53
  Speaker 3: You get a younger version of Mahomes coming in here.
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 30:57
  Speaker 3: Right, and Caleb Williams.
• 30:58
  Speaker 5: They're riding high as well. Time for the Seahawks to
• 31:00
  Speaker 5: knock them down a peg.
• 31:01
  Speaker 3: Let's do that. Let's knock them down a couple pegs.
• 31:03
  Speaker 3: All right, man.
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: Thanks.
• 31:05
  Speaker 3: Good stuff. All right.
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: Hugh Millen, our QB1. We wrap up this Monday morning
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: quarterback session here today, and we will close out our
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: show next with the one last thing, Sports Radio 93.3 KJRFM.
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: All right, final segment of the show.
• 31:32
  Speaker 7: Terrific show today.
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: Thanks to you. Thanks to Greg Bell. And, of course,
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: the conversation will continue. Greg and Jessamyn coming up next.
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: And Greg's got a lot of locker room stuff. From
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: last night's victory and a lot on Nick Emanuari. I
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: don't know if anybody else is going to be mentioned, but.
• 31:49
  Speaker 3: Nick Emanuari today on the Greg Bell.
• 31:51
  Speaker 5: It's deserved.
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it is deserved. And before we get to one
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: last thing, I'd just like to say that. Just because
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: I did a segment lauding Mike McDonald and JSN doesn't
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: mean that I wasn't diminishing what Nick Emanuari did.
• 32:09
  Speaker 3: But that, yeah. Those three were certainly the stars of
• 32:12
  Speaker 3: many stars last night.
• 32:13
  Speaker 7: All right.
• 32:14
  Speaker 3: What do you got for one last thing here?
• 32:15
  Speaker 6: Well, I know I mentioned on Friday that I had
• 32:19
  Speaker 6: a bachelor party to go to. So I'm going to
• 32:22
  Speaker 6: update you guys on what happened over the weekend.
• 32:24
  Speaker 3: Oh, boy. All right. Nothing crazy.
• 32:25
  Speaker 5: Nothing crazy.
• 32:26
  Speaker 7: He was a little late today.
• 32:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 32:28
  Speaker 6: I mean, I didn't go. You don't have a face tattoo.
• 32:31
  Speaker 6: I did go out late all three days over the weekend.
• 32:34
  Speaker 6: Did you end up on the top of a.
• 32:39
  Speaker 3: Casino?
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: No.
• 32:41
  Speaker 3: With a mattress? No.
• 32:42
  Speaker 5: No, we did not. Nothing that crazy. Honestly, it was.
• 32:48
  Speaker 6: We went to Five Iron Golf, which is like an
• 32:52
  Speaker 6: indoor golf place that brings you drinks and stuff, too.
• 32:54
  Speaker 5: It was pretty fun.
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: A good time.
• 32:55
  Speaker 3: Named after Ashley Ryan's husband.
• 32:57
  Speaker 6: Oh, yeah.
• 32:58
  Speaker 5: Exactly. And then we did go to a casino, did
• 33:01
  Speaker 5: some gambling. It was fun. And, you know, it's kind
• 33:04
  Speaker 5: of one of our separate ways. But yesterday, which was
• 33:08
  Speaker 5: the actual.
• 33:09
  Speaker 6: wedding ceremony they kind of already eloped this is more
• 33:12
  Speaker 6: just like a party to bring everyone in Um, they
• 33:15
  Speaker 6: surprised everyone with the news that they were expecting as well.
• 33:19
  Speaker 3: Oh, okay.
• 33:19
  Speaker 5: And then they did the whole gender reveal at the
• 33:21
  Speaker 5: same time.
• 33:22
  Speaker 3: Oh, geez.
• 33:22
  Speaker 6: And we find out that he's going to have a boy.
• 33:24
  Speaker 6: It's one of my best friends from college. Um, and
• 33:27
  Speaker 6: he's going to have a boy and it's going to
• 33:28
  Speaker 6: be almost exactly a year, like a couple of weeks
• 33:31
  Speaker 6: after Austin was born. So Austin's going to have a
• 33:33
  Speaker 6: nice little best friend. A little birthday buddy. Coming, coming up,
• 33:36
  Speaker 6: coming around. So yeah, we're very excited. Uh, it felt
• 33:39
  Speaker 6: like for a while I was like, from all the
• 33:41
  Speaker 6: people I know, I was like the first person to
• 33:43
  Speaker 6: have a kid.
• 33:45
  Speaker 5: And getting that.
• 33:46
  Speaker 3: Ever you're the first person to ever have a kid.
• 33:49
  Speaker 6: No in my like circles from my generation from my
• 33:52
  Speaker 6: circles Anderson have you looked at no.
• 33:56
  Speaker 3: I'm pretty sure I'm the first person.
• 33:58
  Speaker 5: Ever no one else has had children before.
• 34:01
  Speaker 6: But I meant from like my generation slash my circles
• 34:04
  Speaker 6: which so this kind of adds to it and we're
• 34:06
  Speaker 6: like okay finally someone else we can pass our wisdom
• 34:09
  Speaker 6: off to.
• 34:10
  Speaker 3: Oh, you've collected some, have you?
• 34:11
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 34:13
  Speaker 6: More on, like, pregnancy stuff for now, obviously. So we
• 34:16
  Speaker 6: have experience in that aspect. But it was just overall
• 34:19
  Speaker 6: a good weekend. One of my best buddies celebrated his
• 34:21
  Speaker 6: wedding and is adding one to the family.
• 34:24
  Speaker 3: All right. Well, look at that. Doesn't sound like a
• 34:26
  Speaker 3: lot of... We didn't get a lot of details about
• 34:28
  Speaker 3: that bachelor party.
• 34:29
  Speaker 7: I told you.
• 34:30
  Speaker 3: Kind of just blew through it there.
• 34:32
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I went to play five-iron golf, you know. Couple
• 34:35
  Speaker 5: strippers here and there.
• 34:35
  Speaker 3: No, I'm just kidding.
• 34:38
  Speaker 7: I'm just kidding.
• 34:39
  Speaker 6: I'm just kidding.
• 34:40
  Speaker 3: Honey, I'm just kidding.
• 34:42
  Speaker 7: I am kidding.
• 34:43
  Speaker 5: I promise you.
• 34:44
  Speaker 3: All right, kid, what's your one last thing?
• 34:47
  Speaker 7: I'm going to do my best to not laugh through
• 34:49
  Speaker 7: this entire spot that I have here, but recently I'm
• 34:53
  Speaker 7: on Twitter, and you guys remember... Russell Westbrook. He has
• 34:57
  Speaker 7: the nickname of Russell Westbrook. Eh, pretty funny. That's great. So,
• 35:01
  Speaker 7: somebody on Twitter created a top 10 NBA slander nicknames.
• 35:05
  Speaker 7: And when I tell you, I was crying last night,
• 35:09
  Speaker 7: laughing my butt off. I'm going to read a couple
• 35:10
  Speaker 7: of them. So, number one overall. It's one through ten.
• 35:14
  Speaker 7: Number one overall is Contavious Baldwell.
• 35:17
  Speaker 3: Nope.
• 35:21
  Speaker 7: Number two, Dorian Finamis.
• 35:24
  Speaker 3: Nope.
• 35:26
  Speaker 7: Number three, play very badly. Number four, Anthony Day to Davis.
• 35:32
  Speaker 5: Day to Davis. That's good.
• 35:35
  Speaker 7: Number five, ace them, hate them. Ace them, hate them.
• 35:39
  Speaker 7: So that's just the top five. I don't want to
• 35:41
  Speaker 7: keep going because there's ten more. I can go over
• 35:43
  Speaker 7: that after the show. But I just was going through
• 35:45
  Speaker 7: that list. Contavious Baldwell.
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: Nope.
• 35:48
  Speaker 7: Is probably the greatest slander nickname I have ever heard.
• 35:51
  Speaker 5: I still like Anthony Data Davis.
• 35:53
  Speaker 7: That's really good, too. That's probably my favorite of those.
• 35:55
  Speaker 7: Another one that came up from someone hitting up on
• 35:58
  Speaker 7: the responses was like, you definitely forgot Careless Pervert. He's
• 36:01
  Speaker 7: got to make the list.
• 36:02
  Speaker 3: For Careless Pervert.
• 36:06
  Speaker 7: So that is my one last thing. NBA, top ten
• 36:09
  Speaker 7: NBA slander nicknames. Those are a couple that I just
• 36:12
  Speaker 7: wanted to share because I was in tears last night.
• 36:14
  Speaker 7: And my wife was just looking at me like, I
• 36:15
  Speaker 7: don't get it.
• 36:16
  Speaker 3: I'm like, oh, my God.
• 36:17
  Speaker 7: You do get it, but you're just sleepy, whatever.
• 36:21
  Speaker 5: Just great.
• 36:22
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: Well, I'm going to close my one last thing with
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: Rocco Male Pattern Baldelli here on the radio program. We'll
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: probably have a chance to get into it a little
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: bit tomorrow, but it looks like Rocco Baldelli pulled himself
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: out of the Mariners' managerial search.
• 36:42
  Speaker 7: I don't know.
• 36:43
  Speaker 2: These guys play a lot of ball when they play,
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: and then they become managers, and you get consumed by it.
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: I'm going to just believe it on its surface. I
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: think you've got two ways to look at it, and
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: it just depends on what camp you're in. Unless I
• 36:58
  Speaker 2: hear other information, I'm just going to trust that Rocco
• 37:01
  Speaker 2: Baldelli thought about it, thought about if he were interested,
• 37:05
  Speaker 2: if he were to be offered the job, that's a
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: big move for his family. And if his heart wasn't
• 37:11
  Speaker 2: into managing right away after this past disappointing season, that
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: maybe I'm just going to take it on its face
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: for that's how it worked out. Maybe he read, but
• 37:25
  Speaker 2: there's a couple of other options here. Maybe he read,
• 37:28
  Speaker 2: I'm not really a strong candidate right now. I don't know.
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: Or maybe there is something and we'll find out. I mean,
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: there is a little bit of a reputation that not
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: a lot of guys want to work for Jerry. And
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: then there's also that reputation of if you did go
• 37:50
  Speaker 2: through the process and you didn't like what you were
• 37:52
  Speaker 2: hearing about what your role specifically would be or what
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: the expectation would be, maybe bailed out. I mean, I
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: will be here to tell you, I think that those
• 38:01
  Speaker 2: are I think there are possibilities, but there also is a.
• 38:05
  Speaker 3: Possibility that he truly just was like, ah, I don't
• 38:10
  Speaker 3: think that's the ideal fit for me.
• 38:12
  Speaker 2: I'm not in love with the idea of managing next
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: year and moving my family across the country when it
• 38:18
  Speaker 2: feels like I'm just a candidate anyway.
• 38:21
  Speaker 3: That's also a possibility as well. So we'll see how
• 38:24
  Speaker 3: it all goes.
• 38:25
  Speaker 6: I mean, it's very similar to the Stephen Vogt situation
• 38:27
  Speaker 6: in the opposite way. One of the reasons Vogt would
• 38:29
  Speaker 6: be interested, reportedly, is because his family is here. Now, supposedly,
• 38:34
  Speaker 6: one of the reasons Baldelli is pulling out of it
• 38:37
  Speaker 6: is because his family.
• 38:38
  Speaker 7: Is not here.
• 38:39
  Speaker 5: Right. So these guys are more than just baseball managers.
• 38:43
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 38:43
  Speaker 5: They're humans.
• 38:44
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 38:45
  Speaker 2: And you don't know what it is exactly that they're
• 38:47
  Speaker 2: looking for. You know, city matters, where you want to work,
• 38:52
  Speaker 2: all that matters.
• 38:53
  Speaker 5: Yep.
• 38:54
  Speaker 2: And so we'll see. Let's just get Kevin Cash and
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: he can stay in Florida and he can take over
• 38:59
  Speaker 2: the Rays.
• 38:59
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 39:00
  Speaker 3: For Kevin Cash. How about that?
• 39:01
  Speaker 5: That sounds good to me.
• 39:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'll do that. I'll sign up for that.
• 39:04
  Speaker 2: I know that this is going to be announced when
• 39:07
  Speaker 2: I'm on vacation next week. Of course. Yeah.
• 39:09
  Speaker 5: It's going to happen.
• 39:11
  Speaker 3: No, for a fact. It's going to happen then.
• 39:14
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 39:14
  Speaker 3: We'll talk to you tomorrow at 6.
• 39:16
  Speaker 2: Greg and Jess are next on Sports Radio 93.3 KJRFM.
